Born August 5, 1931 in Minneola, KS to Fay M. and Nellie Marshall Hatcher. Married Carole R. Davis on December 20, 1952 in Hutchinson, KS. She passed away October 8, 1997. Married Imogene Thomas Pierce on December 13, 2003 in Beaver, OK. Survived by wife; Daughter, Carolyn (Dr. Orval) Hatcher Gigstad, Syracuse, NE; Son, Bryan (Marsha) Hatcher, Wichita, KS. Imogene's Children: Cynthia (Galen) Hancock, Hugoton, KS; Susan (Rev. Dr. Darryl) Allen, McMinnville, TN; Alan Pierce; Carol Collins, Grand Junction, CO. Grandchildren – A. O. "Grady" (Sarah) Gigstad, IV; Amber Gigstad; Dr. Paige (Scott) Hatcher Dodson; Chris Hatcher, JD; Imogene's Grandchildren: Jack and Nicholas Collins; Marisa Allen; Rev. Megan (Devin) Allen-Cloninger; Gabriel (Sarah) Hancock; Christy (Adam) Gendron; 5 Great-Grandchildren and Imogene's 9 Great-Grandchildren; Sisters - Donna Blevins; Shirley Wolin; Sisters-in-law: Doris Thomas, Lavora Parker; Joan Goodwin; Janis (Eddie) Vowell; Arline (Darrell) Looper; many cousins, extended family and special niece, Sharron Brooks.
Merlyn was born in Minneola, KS. He spent many summers in Minneola and Holly, CO, helping his grandfather and Uncle "Shug" Hatcher harvest wheat. Known as "Mert" during his younger years, he was an avid athlete at Hutchinson High School and Hutch JUCO in Hutchinson, KS, setting 2 Kansas State records in the javelin and discus. He joined the Navy, serving in Korea for 4 years. Merlyn married Carole Davis in Hutchinson, KS in 1952 and had 2 children, Carolyn and Bryan. He was a graduate of the University of Wichita in Business Administration, Wichita, KS. After a stint at Cessna Aircraft Company, they took a leap of faith and moved to Rancho Cordova, CA for Merlyn's new job. He and his family enjoyed many weekends camping all over Northern California, including the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains. They also spent time in Livermore, CA with his cousin, Margery Hayley Harter & family. They enjoyed visits to San Diego, CA to see niece, Sharron Brooks and her family. Then Merlyn and his family moved back to Wichita, KS in 1969 to be near family and new job opportunities. He and Carole enjoyed playing a lot of golf and absolutely doted on their 4 grandchildren. After 45 years of marriage, his wife, Carole, passed away 1997. Six years later, his cousin, Linda Marshall Downing, invited him to spend a golfing weekend in Beaver, OK. She played matchmaker with Imogene Pierce joining them for golf. It worked because Merlyn and Imogene were married 5 months later. The community of Beaver took Merlyn in like he had lived there all of his life and it was all such a blessing. Merlyn and Imogene traveled the country by going to places like California, Nebraska, Alaska, Maine, South Dakota and Hawaii. In 2020, he entered into the Beaver County Nursing Home where he had good, compassionate care, especially by a few of the staff that went above and beyond the call of duty. He passed away just a few hours before his and Imogene's 18th wedding anniversary.
Merlyn's professional life gave him many opportunities District Manager, Wichita Coors Distributors, Wichita, KS; President-Owner, Hatcher Distributing Co. Inc, South Hutchinson, KS; Owner-Manager, Norrell Temporary Services, Wichita, KS; long-time Personnel & Corporate employee of Cessna Aircraft Company, Wichita, KS; Personnel Director of the City of Wichita, KS; Vice President- Franchise of Big League Enterprise, Wichita, KS; Supervisor, Aerojet General Corporation, Sacramento, CA. He proudly served in the United States Navy during the Korean War as a Second-Class Petty Officer and Radarman and was on the Amphibious Pacific Fleet Football Team for a short time.
Merlyn served the Lord in many capacities as an Elder in the First Presbyterian Church and later became a devoted member of the First Baptist Church, Beaver, OK. He had a deep faith in the Lord as his Savior, which sustained him throughout years of pain and bodily suffering. He is now rejoicing with God for eternity.
He is preceded in death by his parents; first wife, Carole R. Davis Hatcher; stepson-in-law, Kendall Collins; brother and sister-in-law, Gwyn and Mary Lou Hatcher; Brothers-in-law, Roger Wolin, Ken Blevins, Preston Thomas, Keith Thomas, Bill Goodwin and Gene Parker.

I loved Merlyn like a grandpa. He was so sweet and kind. I am saddened by the loss of his presence, but I know he was in pain and I\'m happy to know he is no longer suffering. I am blessed beyond measure to have been able to care for Merlyn and be the light that Jesus asked me to be for HIM. Merlyn was always so happy when I stopped in and spent a few minutes with him. I sure will miss him.

I have so many memories of ML from the time I was flower girl at his marriage to my Aunt Carole to visiting him in Oklahoma after his marriage to Imogene. He led a full life enjoying his family and his many friends. He will be missed.
Sharron Brooks Dec 14 2021 11:19 PM
Carolyn and Brian, It's never easy to say goodbye but the thought of Uncle Merlyn no longer in pain and now in the presence of our Lord, helps with the pain. You're in my heart and prayers. ❤

Spanish people don't like spicy things. I can't tell you how many times I'd be told at a restaurant in Spain that something was REALLY spicy, that I really needed to prepare myself, only to be underwhelmed. I myself have a low tolerance for spice, but I was always shocked by how easily Spanish people would literally break a sweat over a choice piece of chorizo (which in all fairness can pack a bit of a punch) that didn't faze my tastebuds a bit.
One exception is the padrón pepper from Galicia. Or should I say, one in every five or so padrón peppers. They are not all spicy; the milder ones are the best, delicious, grassy-tasting little pods that have been vigorously sauteed in olive oil and sprinkled with salt. But eating these things is a bit like playing Russian roulette…somewhere in the mountainous little pepper pile you just ordered there are a few evil ones just bursting with capsaicin. But it's worth the risk, especially when even the evil ones are delicious.
Padrón peppers are delightfully available in the States (or at least in California) in summer and early fall, and are even more delightfully easy to cook. Heat some olive oil in a pan until shimmering, then add whole peppers and cook until the skin is blistering and browned. Remove from the pan and sprinkle with sea salt. And voilà! A quick, authentic tapas dish you can easily recreate in your own home. Just watch out for those hot ones.
If you don't trust my instructions and need a slightly more complete recipe, see here, or take it up a notch with some jamón and ajo here. And if they don't have any peppers in your area, you can always drop some serious cash on a pound or so from La Tienda.
If you like pretty things, or DIY projects, or good design or delicious food and you don't know about DesignSponge, well, you really should.
It's a great little website filled with all kinds of projects, before and afters, recipes, and lots of other cool stuff. They also have a regular feature where different authors contribute travel guides to their home cities, in the US and abroad. Usually these fall a little flat for me because even though I know the content is probably pretty good, there are very few pictures to go along with the recommendations, and the lists are so long that I get discouraged by the thought of having to more thoroughly research each and every rec. A lame reason, I know. But today they released a Barcelona guide by Judy Kaufmann, an illustrator who calls the city home, and I must say I really like it! I've stayed in both of the hotels she recommends (Inside BCN is in fact wonderful!!) and shopped and dined at many of her other suggested locations, so I can officially give this one two thumbs up! A definite good addition to any travel planning you may be doing for a visit to the most wonderful little city in the mundo. Click on the photo to be linked directly to the guide.

¡Feliz día de los Reyes Magos!
Today, or maybe yesterday at this point, was the day that many children in Spain have eagerly been awaiting all winter. The day of the three wise men, as it's literally translated, is known to many as Epiphany in English. It's the day when Spanish children traditionally receive their gifts, though now many families do gifts on Christmas and Epiphany.
Biblically speaking, the day celebrates the visitation of the Magi (also known as the three kings) to the baby Jesus, symbolizing the revelation of Christ's god/man powers to the gentiles. Those three characters climbing the rope in between the multiple Santa Clauses in the above picture (taken in La Puerta de Segura) are said Magi, and people had those things up all over Spain! Instead of Santa leaving presents under the tree, I am pretty sure the wise men break into peoples' houses somehow and leave gifts under their shoes in exchange for hay/sweet wine/other goodies. Kinda like St. Nicholas day in the U.S., for those of you who were raised Catholic here, but better.
Puentes (bridges in English) are one of those Spanish practices that I was always jealous of and one that spoke to the Spanish propensity towards working to live and not living to work. Basically any time a national or bank holiday fell midweek, workers and schoolchildren would get not only that day off, but they'd also get a little "bridge" vacation, meaning the days in between the holiday and the weekend were also non-work days. Kind of like the way we treat Thanksgiving and the following Friday, except they do it for every holiday that falls on a non-Monday or Friday weekday. It was awesome for me as a worker, but probably not the best thing for national productivity. But now, considering Spain's looming debt crisis and their newly elected PM Mariano Rajoy, it looks like some of that Spanish joie de vivre might be sacrificed to help get the economy back on its feet.

Google is testing augmented reality glasses in public
After a slump in privacy a decade ago, Google admits it's ready to test new augmented reality glasses in the real world
Google is poised to bring its AR glasses prototype to the real world, nearly a decade after privacy issues prevented its first attempt at augmented reality glasses.
It was in May this year when Google unveiled a new wearable device, a prototype AR glass, at its I/O developer conference.
Google was hesitant about revealing any of the glasses' specifics in May, other than a particularly strong augmented reality capability, with voice recognition.
Google AR prototype
AR glasses
That feature essentially allows the AR glasses wearer to see (in words on a lens) what another person is saying, when the other person is speaking in a different language.
This can be a truly incredible development for people visiting abroad.
Google now in a blog post announced that it will test prototype augmented reality glasses in public institutions.
"Augmented reality (AR) opens up new ways to interact with the world around us. It can help us quickly and easily access the information we need, such as understanding another language or knowing how best to get from point A to point B," wrote Juston Payne, group product manager.
"For example, we recently shared an early AR prototype that we tested in our labs that puts real-time translation and transcription right in your field of view," Payne says.
The next video demonstration of Google's AR glasses prototype is from May, with the device translating a foreign language.
"However, only testing in a lab setting has its limitations," Payne wrote. "So starting next month, we plan to test AR prototypes in the real world."
"This will help us better understand how these devices can help people in their daily lives," he wrote. "And as we develop experiences like AR navigation, it will help us consider factors such as weather and busy intersections — which can be difficult, sometimes impossible, to fully recreate indoors."
Strict Restrictions
Payne said Google will begin small-scale testing in public institutions with AR prototypes worn by several dozen Googlers and selected trusted testers.
These prototypes will include in-lens displays, microphones and cameras, but they will have strict restrictions on what they can do.
"For example, our AR prototypes do not support photography and videography, although image data will be used to enable experiences such as translating the menu for you or showing you directions to a nearby coffee shop," Payne wrote.
"It's early and we want to get this right, so we're taking it slow, with a strong focus on ensuring the privacy of the testers and the people around them," Payne concluded. "As we continue to explore and learn what's possible with AR, we look forward to sharing more updates."
Google is right to be so cautious about the fate of its Google Glass wearable, which arrived almost a decade earlier, arguably before the world was ready.
In early 2012, Google co-founder Sergey Brin was spotted in San Francisco wearing the Google Glass – an augmented reality pair of glasses that offered users an in-your-face heads-up display (HUD) displaying information about the weather, messages from friends or directions in the city.
Google Glass also had a front-facing camera, and soon concerns about the security and privacy of the devices began to hamper its mainstream adoption, with Google Glass, in particular, being scrutinized several times by US lawmakers.
Things weren't helped by the high purchase price (it cost £1,000 in the UK).
Google then made the decision after a lackluster reception about the wearable's comical appearance, coupled with privacy concerns, to stop manufacturing its smart glasses for the consumer sector as early as 2015.
However, it continued to sell it for business and business use.
The new Google Glass AR prototype, when it comes to market, will face competition from the likes of Apple, Meta, and Microsoft — all of which have built or are planning to release their own wearable AR devices.

Half the population is worried about mortgage rates, and a quarter of people with mortgages fear having their home repossessed, according to a study.
The findings, published in the Which? Quarterly Consumer Report, reveal an increasing gap between older, more financially secure home owners and many people aged 30-49 who bought their homes recently.
A large number of people in the latter category are so-called "mortgage prisoners", trapped in their current mortgage deal and unable to switch when rates increase. The report also found that home ownership was increasingly out of reach for first-time buyers as rising rents make it harder for people to save for large deposits.
More than half (54pc) of people under 30 who do not own a home are worried about getting on the property ladder. Lenders have also increased mortgage arrangement fees, which rose by around 60pc in 18 months to an average of £1,472 in August.
The findings come as banks and building societies are being given access to cheap funds through the Government's Funding for Lending Scheme. Which? is calling for the Government to ensure that lenders benefiting from the scheme set lower borrowing costs to help everyone, not just those with significant equity.
Richard Lloyd, Which? executive director, said: "The housing market is failing not just one but two generations of consumers, with many mortgage prisoners trapped on their current deal and young people excluded from the housing market altogether.
"The Chancellor must put tougher obligations on banks that get cheap finance through the Government's Funding for Lending Scheme so that more is done to help those who are struggling through no fault of their own, and especially to ensure that mortgage prisoners and first time buyers can benefit from lower borrowing costs."

Previous years bulletins
Syria is a central factor in the Arab-Israeli conflict and has been in conflict with the State of Israel since its establishment. Syria's basic position rejects the Zionist idea and views the State of Israel as a foreign element that must be uprooted. Since its establishment, Syria has led the political and military struggle against pre-state Israel and the State of Israel. Syria is demanding that Israel give up its control over an area of about 1,200 square kilometers in the Golan Heights, which was occupied by Israel in 1967. In view of its profound hostility to Israel, Syria has supported the Palestinian terrorist organizations and Hezbollah for many years. Syria was designated as a terrorism-supporting state by the US State Department back in 1979.
Despite repeated attempts since the early 1990s to reach a peace agreement with Syria, an official state of war still exists between it and Israel. These relations have been influenced by the involvement of elements such as the Soviet Union and Iran, Syria's relations with other Arab countries (Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon) and its relations with the Palestinians. These relations have also been influenced by the fact that Syria perceives Israel's territory as part of what it calls Greater Syria.
Since early 2011, there has been a civil war in Syria between President Bashar Assad and the forces loyal to him, and rebel organizations with various ideologies and political orientation. The civil war has led to the destruction of the country's infrastructure, the removal of Syria from the Arab League, and tension in its relations with Sunni countries (Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan and Turkey). Syria's relations with the United States and Western countries have also deteriorated. On the other hand, the Syrian regime is supported by Russia, Iran and Hezbollah, and by Shiite militias supported by Iran.

A Passato prossimo (másik nevén Perfetto composto, a nyelvkönyvek általában közelmúltnak nevezik magyarul) a mai olasz nyelv standard változatában a leggyakrabban használatos múlt idő a kijelentő mód 5 múlt ideje közül. Olyan cselekvést, történést fejezünk ki vele, ahol nem tartjuk fontosnak kiemelni, hogy mettől meddig tartott, csak azt, hogy megtörtént. A Passato prossimo alakban álló ige befejezett (perfektív) igeaspektust fejez ki, folyamatos (imperfektív) igeaspektus kifejezésére az Imperfetto nevű igeidőt használják. A Passato prossimót csak olyan eseményeknél használjuk, ami a viszonylagos közelmúltban történt. A Tegnap meglátogattam a nagynénémet mondat mindenképpen passato prossimo, viszont a Kolumbusz felfedezte Amerikát az távolmúlt (Passato remoto). Azoknál a cselekvéseknél, ahol az időtartam fontos, lásd Folyamatos múlt.

Képzését (és részben használatát) tekintve nagyjából párhuzamba állítható a francia Passé composé, a spanyol Pretérito Perfecto, a portugál Pretérito perfeito composto, a román Perfect compus, az angol Present Perfect, a német Perfekt igeidőkkel. Használata jórészt megegyezik francia megfelelőjével, szélesebb körben használatos spanyol és angol megfelelőjénél.

Története
A klasszikus latinban ez az igealak nem volt megtalálható, de kialakulásának folyamata már a késői latin korszakában elkezdődött, amikor a habere segédige tárgya mellett egy befejezett melléknévi igenév is állt. (Például: habeo litteram scriptam, ami olyasmit jelentett, hogy "van egy megírt levelem".) A kifejezés azt jelentette, hogy valamely, az alanyhoz tartozó dolgon az alany cselekvést hajtott végre. A későbbi fejlődés során a habere + participium perfectum egymáshoz viszonyított önállósága elveszett, a kifejezés a befejezett múlt értéket vette fel. Idővel új időtípus jött létre, a habere valamennyi idejű alakjának felhasználásával a hagyományos szintetikus ragozás mellé az újlatin nyelvek kiépítettek egy teljes, párhuzamos analitikus ragozást.

Képzése
Képzéséhez az avere ill. az essere ige, mint segédige jelen idejét és a főige befejezett melléknévi igenevét kell ismernünk.

A befejezett melléknévi igenév (Participio passato) képzése

A három igecsoportnak megfelelően a befejezett melléknévi igenév is három végződés segítségével képezhető:

-are
Parlare
parlato

-ere
Vendere
venduto

-ire
Partire
partito

A befejezett melléknévi igenév az olasz igék harmadik szótári alakja (a főnévi igenév és a Passato remoto után). Sok ige rendhagyóan képzi a befejezett melléknévi igenév alakját.

A Passato prossimo képzése
A passato prossimo összetett igeidő. Képzése:

Olyan igéknél, amik (nyelvtani) tárgyat vonzanak maguk után, és néhány tárgyatlan igénél is:
avere ragozott alakja kijelentő mód jelen időben + a főige befejezett melléknévi igeneve (participio passato)

Olyan igék egy részénél, amik nem vonzanak maguk után (nyelvtani) tárgyat, valamint az összes visszaható ige esetében:
essere ragozott alakja kijelentő mód jelen időben + a főige befejezett melléknévi igeneve (participio passato)

Tárgyas igék esetében mindig az avere használatos segédigeként. Tárgyatlan igéknél nehéz pontosan szabályba foglalni, hogy az avere vagy az essere igét kell-e segédigének használni, de a mozgást, hely-, helyzet- és állapotváltozást kifejező igék többnyire az essere igével képzik a Passato prossimót és a többi összetett igealakot is. Esserével képzik az összetett igealakjukat pl. a következő igék: andare, venire, partire, arrivare, essere, accadere, succedere, diventare, salire, scendere, uscire, riuscire, nascere, morire.

Bizonyos igék mindkét segédigével képezhetik az összetett igealakokat, attól függően, hogy a cselekvés, történés következtében beálló állapotváltozást akarjuk-e hangsúlyozni vagy magát a cselekvés tényét. Ilyen igék pl. a volare és a correre: Le rondini hanno volato molto - a fecskék sokat röpködtek (a cselekvés tényén van a hangsúly). Le rondini sono volate sul tetto - a fecskék felrepültek a tetőre (a cselekvés következtében beálló helyváltozásra tesszük itt a hangsúlyt).

Az ún. ergatív igéknek van tárgyas és tárgyatlan jelentésük is, ezeket tárgyas értelemben az avere segédigével, tárgyatlan értelemben az essere segédigével ragozzuk. Ilyen ige pl. az affondare (elsüllyedni és elsüllyeszteni). Pl.: Hanno affondato due navi - Elsüllyesztettek két hajót. Due navi sono affondate - Két hajó elsüllyedt.

A participio passato egyeztetése az alannyal
Ha a segédige az essere, akkor a befejezett melléknévi igenevet egyeztetni kell nemben és számban az alannyal.
Példák:

Lei è venuta.
Noi siamo arrivati.

A participio passato egyeztetése a tárggyal
Ha a segédige az avere, akkor a tárggyal kell a befejezett melléknévi igenevet egyeztetni, amennyiben a tárgy megelőzi az igét valamilyen névmás (mi, ti, lo, la, ci, vi, li, le, ne) formájában.

There Are No Accidental Wars.
When the First World War kicked off, it was, just like the World War which was follow twenty years later, long in the planning. To suggest that it was as a result of the shooting of some arch duke of no consequence is a nonsense.
The Black Hand Gang, whom allegedly carried out the assassination, were in the pay of the City of London, and as long ago as nineteen fourteen and before, they were doing exactly as do their successors, the SAS, currently in Ukraine, training paid mercenaries to carry out political murders, in order to destroy the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which it succeeded in doing.
At the same time the City of London was busy financing the coup d'etat in Russia, which took place while the rest of Europe was engaged in the monumental mass murder of the cream of European youth.
It is estimated that up to ten million Germans shared the same fate as the Ukrainians at the hand of Stalin and with the full knowledge of the "Coalition," after hostilities had ended, when as many as ten million Germans were starved to death. Such is the justice of the West and it should be clear that this "justice" was meted out, under orders from the same group of controllers that controlled Stalin.
Make no mistake about it, we are all destined to suffer in our turn the same sorry end to our existence. You cannot appeal for justice from a group which is controlled by psychopaths.
The Bolshevik Jews, made no secret of their desire to spread their murderous doctrine across the planet. Having taken control of Russia, they set about planning the second Great War, which would allow, with the aid of numerous Jews, namely Churchill, Roosevelt, Eisenhower and Stalin, whom had been forcing Hitler into war from the day of his election in nineteen thirty-three, by whatever means came to hand, including a six-year long blockade, all of which was designed to make possible the Bolshevik takeover of the newly constructed Republics, which had so recently broken free of the Austro-Hungarian hierarchy, forcing them into the Soviet Block.
This was achieved by a group of Bolshevik controlled spokesmen at the Conference of Yalta, where the whole of Eastern Europe and parts of Germany, were ceded to Stalin and his Bolshevik Masters.
Having allowed this monstrous act, which imprisoned, without any say in the matter, virtually every country in Eastern Europe, the Western Allies then declared a Cold War, which like the War on Terror, is a meaningless concept but which allowed the dropping of The Iron Curtain, which allowed them to conceal the fate of the Peoples whom were trapped behind it.
Millions of ethnic Germans and the people of those States such as Hungary, which had fought alongside the Germans, were mercilessly massacred. We are daily deluged with tales about the sufferings of the Russian people and of course the Jews, during World War Two, however most of the Russians whom vanished before and during the war, were killed by Stalin and as for the Jews we have yet to find any evidence of a mass killing of Jews during the War. The German people were the real victims and the reality of their fate is still being concealed.
When hostilities ended, the Bolsheviks lost no time in attacking the Middle East, which involved the mass slaughter and eviction of Palestinians and the seizure of a State to which they had no legal, moral or ethnic right.
An act which has guaranteed what the Bolsheviks like most, an undeclared war and the murder and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people, a vicious illegal act,which was supported by the West, using the excuse of the unproven bad treatment of Jews by the Germans, which apparently sanctions the bad treatment of the Palestinians by these same "Poor Jews," bad treatment which is far in excess of anything which the Germans allegedly carried out against the Jews.
Not content with stirring up the Middle East, the Bolsheviks set about taking control of Western Europe, which was pretending to be opposed to the goings on in the East, from where people were prepared to risk their lives in an attempt to escape to the Free West.
They need not have bothered, this Cold War was only a game which was being played in order to present the West as a sort of paradise, access to which was being denied by Communism. When the time came and they were liberated, in the manner which was forecast by Lenin, that is; "The seamless joining of the USSR with mainstream capitalist Europe." they went like lambs to the slaughter into the abattoir of the European Union.
The Free West was and had been, fully aware of the cold-blooded slaughter of sixty-five million Christians in Soviet Russia and the Soviet Block, even as they were torturing and hanging hundreds of Germans at Nuremberg, for unproven acts during the war.
This hypocrisy and conspiracy of silence was to continue throughout the course of the "Cold War" and no reference was made of the Russian atrocities in Ukraine, during recent enmity between Russia and the West, mention of which could well have helped to explain why ethnic Ukrainians wanted to break free from Russia, so why the continued silence?
British Christian, Malcolm Muggeridge, was appalled at the atrocities which were carried out in the name of Communism, a philosophy which was supposed to "Free the Workers" and all of that nonsense, when it was in fact no more than a ploy to deceive the naive working man into submission.
Muggeridge's reports show the UK was well aware of the Holodomor as it was happening and took no action, which shows that there was always collusion between the West and the USSR.
These folk from Eastern Europe, have been hoodwinked into believing the European Union to be a construction which was mounted to aid the people of Europe, by providing a good standard of living and freedom from oppression. They have however entered the Neo-Soviet Union, from which there is no escape.
They failed to notice that most of the current members were forced to join, just as they appear unaware that most of Europe is flat broke and struggling through a period of austerity. They have in fact been handed to Europe, in much the same manner as they had been forced at Yalta, into the Soviet Union. The Free West offers no freedom of choice.
In this game of chess, the Bolsheviks have taken down Russia, quickly followed by Germany and Eastern Europe. They now have Western Europe in their grip and they are about to take Russia apart, with the aid of the Bolsheviks whom have never, despite the "collapse" of the Soviet Union, loosened their grip on Russia and have from behind the scenes been orchestrating the transformation of Russia into a Democracy.
The Bolshevik Jews hate the Russians, just as they hate Christians and Muslims, whom they are intent on obliterating in the same manner as were the Germans, whom have been brought to their knees and are in danger of extinction along with the Russians, Italians, British and most other white people's whom are in rapid decline.
Chairman Mao in China carried out a coup d'etat, with the assistance of the City of London and Wall Street in a repeat of the Bolshevik coup d'etat in Russia and more recently Ukraine, Libya, Egypt, Iraq and soon Syria, through the use of paid thugs, under the name of a spontaneous revolution.
A note about Mao: He was picked up to play puppet leader with resources funnelled through Yale University (whose symbol has Hebrew on it), in a Skull and Bones type scheme. The location was Yali Highschool in Changsha, Hunan Province – a branch of Yale. Mao was a disturbed young man – a completely controllable, blackmail able puppet for their purpose.
Sidney Shapiro, politburo member (!). Chinese are allowed to call them foreigners (laowai), but they dare not mention that all of them are Jews
The new government in Ukraine, as if by magic, has a Jewish President and Prime Minister, while other Jewish Oligarchs have taken up the role of regional governors.
The Caliphate which has just been announced by Al Qaeda/ISIS, both of which are working for the Bolsheviks, through the private CIA, would have been knocked flat in an instant had it not been under Bolshevik/Zionist control, it will soon, should it be allowed to survive be controlled in the manner of Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf States, all of which are controlled.
We have been living through a blood-soaked nightmare, while calling for more jobs in the weapon shops, without any regard for the millions of innocent people whom have been massacred, in order to put bread on our tables. With the Middle East and Ukraine in turmoil the main News story is the World Cup and flesh-eating footballers.
While all of this mayhem has been going on in and around Europe, other Soviet Style Unions have been installed, unbeknown to the people involved. In North America, we have NAFTA, The North American Free Trade Area with Canada and Mexico, which is why the Border with Mexico is an open door to immigrants, because like Europe, all members of the Union have free access to all member States. Who can be unaware of the effect of this "freedom," on employment in the US.
The next step is the Treaty between the US and the European Union, which will create an open door to unlimited imports of industrial products and foodstuffs into Europe, destroying even more European jobs.
Putin is busily engaged in the setting-up of the Eurasian Union, which will involve the acceptance of millions of the teeming masses of China into a sparsely populated Russia, without any consent being sought from the people of Russia.
The more one looks into world affairs through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the more one becomes aware of the straight line of events, which have led directly to our current situation. The hidden manipulators have not been getting things wrong, all of the mass murder, which is ongoing, is part of the continuing destruction of White European Mankind.
The Great War was no more than a decoy. World War Two was already planned to the last detail, long before the patsy, Adolf Hitler, entered the tale. The slaughter of the cultured, industrious, honourable people of Germany, was announced in dozens of Jewish publications, to the point where it was suggested that should all else fail, the Final Solution must be to sterilise the survivors.
What was done to Germany by the so-called Allies was an abomination. The sin was of such depravity and wickedness that seventy years on, it is still necessary to keep up the propaganda against the real victims, the German people, to justify what was done to a country at the heart of Europe, under orders from the City of London. The coalition, which carried out this obscene operation has been obliged to continue the brain-washing down through the decades, in a desperate attempt to obscure our collective guilt.
The Genocide in Russia, which was responsible for the deaths of between sixty and one hundred million Christians, is rarely discussed. What we are in fact expected to believe is that the Jewish Bolsheviks carried out "pogroms" against Jews, while at the same time accusing the Germans of killing two million Jews on Russian soil.
Where on earth do these Jews keep coming from. The Germans apparently killed twice the number of Jews in the entire world, while at the same time fighting for their lives against the whole world, yet there were still enough left over for the Jews themselves to massacre in Russia and millions to lend a hand in the seizure of Palestine.
The next step in this long march towards world domination, could well be the final destruction of Japan. What the atom bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki failed to achieve, has been accomplished by the destruction of the Nuclear power facility at Fukushima, which has contaminated the entire region,with radio-activity, including the Pacific Ocean, which some claim to be dead already. Many people refer to Fukushima as an extinction event.
The demise of Japan will leave the latest Jewish Super State, China, with no threat from some other regional power of any consequence and ready and able to supply the New World Army, to replace the worn out United States military, which will very soon be totally preoccupied with the suppression of the American people, whom must surely, at some point come to realise the dire straits into which they have been led.
NATO, which wreaked havoc in the Balkans, which like other NATO campaigns was presented in a manner which justified yet another illegal attack, annexed Kosovo, without any form of referendum, so as to set up yet another military base on Russia's doorstep, which will serve as part of a front line defence against Russia, when that hapless country is used, as was Germany in past times, as the excuse for the coming Third World War.
Following on from the industrial mass slaughter in Europe, the next victims were the Asiatics in Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and of course China, all of which was a continuation of the slaughter of the Japanese and the starvation of millions of Bengali's by Churchill. In every single one of these campaigns, which were carried out by "coalitions" of Christians, War Crimes of every variety were committed.
This list is a small fraction of the actual number of savage attacks which have been carried out across the world in the same time frame. I have made no mention of the numerous genocides in Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland (The test-bed for genocide by mass starvation.) and against the indigenous natives of North America and Canada.
An incredible mass slaughter has occurred without any apparent reaction from the vast majority of people. In many cases they congratulate themselves for the "humanitarian" nature of their crimes. There has been a state of continuous war for almost two hundred years and it is ongoing. A closer look at these wars, will reveal that they are mostly carried out by the same group of rogue states. The US, UK and France are always involved in some way.
Why for example is William Hague strutting around mouthing off about Syria? What has Syria to do with the UK? The same with Libya, Bosnia and now Ukraine, why can they not just leave people alone to sort out their own problems?
When there is a Police investigation into series of murders, a good investigator is looking for similarities in the killings and connections which may lead to the apprehension of the serial killer.
Should a suspect be caught out lying about one or more of the murders, he would instantly be considered as the possible perpetrator. So what are the connections between the wars of the last two centuries?
The Great War, in terms of improving the lot of the average man, was nothing more than a deliberate genocide against European youth. No purpose was served apart that is the aim of the Jewish Bolsheviks to carry out a coup d'etat in Russia, and the signing of the Balfour Declaration which paved the way for the Jewish seizure of Palestine.
It also facilitated the setting up of the Jewish controlled Weimar Republic in Germany, and the process which would excuse the declaration of war against Germany, by International Jewry, in March 1933. providing the same International Jewry with the long sought opportunity to destroy Germany, killing every man, woman and child in the process, as they had a deep-seated hatred of the German people.
After World War 2, the European Union was quickly initiated by the Bolsheviks, with the support of highly placed Jews in post war governments. At the same time that totally private institution, which attempts to present itself as a Democratic Union of the governments of the world, when in fact it is totally controlled from behind the scenes in the manner of the European Union, The United Nations appeared on the scene and quickly went to war in Korea, despite its claims of being against war as a means of solving problems.
NATO has of course relieved the UN of this embarrassing state affairs as it has now become the official killing machine of the Bolsheviks and the UN, which of course includes the EU, NAFTA and the soon to be established Eurasian Union, all of them under Bolshevik control.
This was happening at a time when under the radar, a coup d'etat was taking place in China, where the group which was presented as the preferred victors by the West, Chaing Kai-shek and the Nationalists, were stabbed in the back by the US and the puppet Mao Zedong took the reins under the control of Jewish interests.
The first step in this Bolshevik take-over was the statutory elimination of ten per-cent of the population, which in Chinese terms amounted to one-hundred-million murders and of course the imposition of the one child per family law.
We now find ourselves in a world which is more or less totally controlled by Jews or Zionists or Bolsheviks, call them whatever you like, they are not however, National Socialists. The National Socialists have been slaughtered as were all of the other opponents of this head-long charge to control all and everything.
So you see it was never Adolf Hitler who sought control of the world, that was always the aim of the Jewish Bolsheviks. They made no secret of the fact, which is why they presented Communism as a weapon of the down-trodden proletariat, when in fact it was no such thing. It was, is and will always be, an elitist set-up which is intent on taking food out of the mouths of starving children, while their parents are forced to obey the Masters of the Universe or die.
In view of the hundreds of millions of people whom have been slaughtered in pursuit of what now finally exists, I do not believe that I can be accused of hyperbole. Everything I have written; those with a little more knowledge and intelligence than I possess, could add a lot more to my scribblings, has already happened and they are still using Hitler as cover for their atrocities. Hitler knew what was coming. He was aware of the Jews hatred of Germans. He had seen what had been done in Russia. He helped Mussolini and Franco, to keep the Stalinist/Bolshevik/Communists at bay, while the West, as is usual, took the side of the mass murderers.
So while the British are building monuments to Bomber Command, they would do well to reflect on the children under those bombs who were burned to death, by illegal napalm and other ghastly weapons, while coming to understand that it is they whom are the War Criminals and that Germany had no choice, they were the victims of a bunch of psychopaths who had been plotting against them for years.

The British Honour The Mass Extermination Of A People.
The British have just announced the striking of a medal, dedicated to the most vile and blood-thirsty band of murderers in the history of warfare, Bomber Command.
Churchill, the Brits favourite man of all time, a cross dressing, whiskey swilling, pervert, ordered attacks, specifically, on the homes of working people, he was determined to murder as many women and children as possible.
This savagery led on to the fire bombing of Dresden, which was the single most vicious and deadly attack in the history of warfare. "Our Boys" can carry out any war crime without fear of death, of course.
The propaganda surrounding the Second World War, can be dismissed as nothing more than a carefully generated excuse to destroy Germany and the German people.
This is the sort of rhetoric, with which the Germans were faced, as the war approached. This hate campaign was carried out by World Jewry, whom had already taken control of Russia, slaughtering sixty million or more Christians in the process.
This is what we helped the Jews do to Germany, we are still helping them to do the same in Palestine. Sadly we are the true Heathens.
The outcome of the Second World War was never in doubt. It was carried out by the same gaggle of Jews, as are the current round of attacks against the Muslim World.
Watch the above clip and try to imagine that these Germans are fighting for their very existence, not to rule the world or Europe, that is the desire of the Jews, whom have been allowed to carry it out.
The Jews were already in the process of destroying Germany after the Armistice in nineteen-eighteen. Hitler took back control of Germany from the grip of the Bolshevik Jews. From the day the National Socialists were elected in Germany, Jewry was already planning the war. We made it all possible for them. Now we are the target. Make no mistake about it, we are next. We are already a race in decline, we will soon be at the point from where a recovery will prove to be impossible.
World War Two was controlled by Jews. Churchill, Stalin, Roosevelt, Morgenthau, Eisenhower, Jews one and all. Take a look around you now. Jews run France, the UK, US, Russia, Israel, Poland, Australia and Austria. This state of affairs is only possible through the use of devious methods. That of course is code for corruption which spells money.
What has been done and is being done to this day, to Germany, is an obscenity. Anyone whom is not brain-dead through propaganda, can not help but be moved at the courage of the German Military, fighting a war which they could never hope to win, standing alone against a brutish enemy, with unlimited access to weaponry and manpower.
Within two years of the war ending, the Jews were already staking out British Soldiers in the desert of Palestine, with piano wire and leaving them to die in the sun. Know your enemy.

In a previous post, I introduced the concept of semiotic wells. A semiotic well is like a space-time "gravitational well" within a semiotic network. By this, I mean that part of the semiotic network has some heavy things in it—primary semiotics that pull other nodes within the network toward them.
For example, someone with the view that they have some sort of personality will tend to associate many of their perceptions and thoughts with the features of that personality. Their belief in their personality type will tend to make them see and understand the world in those terms.
I doubt that "having" a personality is all that much different from having a hobby. And I bet most people can move from one personality type to another about as easily as they can move from one hobby to another.
Of course there are constraints and limitations in the development of hobbies just as there are in the development of personalities.
We can gain profitable understanding of the mind by conceiving of it as a network of semiotic units. It is a network because the semiotic elements of the mind are all interconnected. It does not take much imagination to connect any semiotic element in your mind to any other. Apple-red-communism. Or apple-pie-American.
By association we can connect anything in this way.
Every semiotic element in the mind has a valence. In different contexts, the valences for any element will differ, and oftentimes they are neutral, but they are there. A semiotic well organizes valences as well as meaning, intention, belief, value.
For some people, speech is used to socialize, to make friends, to gain and keep access to other people. The valence of major parts of their semiotic network is aimed at socializing with others. People of this type are pleasantly excited when others compliment or reciprocate their social valences.
In contrast, for some other people, speech is used to share ideas, to analyze, to teach and to learn. The valences of their semiotic networks are primarily aimed at sharing ideas. People of this type are pleasantly excited when others reciprocate these valences.
Many semiotic wells and semiotic valences are formed accidentally, randomly, arbitrarily. Once we take on any bit of meaning, even if only slightly, there is always a chance that it will snowball into a significant semiotic well.
The Beatles alluded to this when they sang Had it been another day/ I might have looked the other way/ And I'd have never been aware/ But as it is I dream of her tonight.
This doesn't just happen with love but with many of our other interests. We form semiotic wells—sometimes very quickly—for what are often very trivial reasons or no reason at all.
Much of what we are comes about through accident or chance. This happens because semiotics and the ways valences become attached to them are frequently very simple. Once a semiotic well begins forming it often grows, and as it does it pulls in or rearranges elements from other parts of our semiotic network.
Once a well is formed or given to us, it can greatly determine how we perceive the world and what we value in it.
This is why propaganda succeeds so well, and is sort of easy to do if you have a lot of money and access to important public forums. All a propagandist has to do is start your mind in one direction and then add more information and more valence. Most people see the world in terms of simple dichotomies, so all the propagandist needs to do is decide what they want and contrast it favorably against what they don't want.
Want war? Make the public perceive the enemy you want as an enemy, then add info while increasing valence. Columnists will write many thousands of words about the desired war, but the basic sociology of it for the general public is always very simple.
Of course sometimes the trick fails. With Syria the basic formula—terrorists/poison gas/war—failed, probably because the public had been fooled too many times before with similar formulas (Sadam/WMD/war).
If you can see past words and feelings to the core of the semiotic well, you will see that many things in this world are quite simple. It is no accident that people communicate largely in very simple terms.

Threat Detection and Recognition
By Michelle Howard June 2, 2014
Courtesy of Arena
Trucks, trains, ships and oil rigs are all potential targets for criminal organizations.
Organizations that own, use or transport high value assets recognise the need to protect their goods and employees, especially when they are at their most vulnerable - when in remote or isolated situations, at night and when operating alone. By their very nature, trucks, trains, ships and oil rigs are all potential targets for criminal organisations. Furthermore, monitoring systems, early warning and deterrent technology have not been available to address this need at a remotely affordable cost. As a result, there has been an uneasy acceptance that in certain parts of the world, piracy, hijacking or theft are facts of commercial life. However, a refusal to accept this situation has helped to push this issue to the top of the EU agenda.
Maria Andersson, at FOI, the Swedish Defence Research Agency and Technical Co-ordinator for ARENA explains the challenges in protecting high value assets on both land and at sea. She describes how the basis for a solution to the problem has been developed through the ARENA (Architecture for Recognition of thrEats to mobile assets using Networks of Affordable sensors) research & development project which is part-funded by the European Commission's FP7 Security Research Program. Dr. Andersson explains how the generic surveillance system that has been developed could provide robust, proactive threat detection and recognition, while being able to differentiate between real threats and false alarms across a range of environments using an affordable system of sensors.
Pirates, highwaymen and train robbers may all sound faintly quaint and old fashioned, but anyone involved in the transport industry will tell you that their modern counterparts are as big a threat as they ever were. There is every sign that they will remain so, as long as goods and vehicles remain vulnerable when on the move and isolated. While the threat looms large, the technology installed on vehicles to detect potential security breaches remains crude in comparison to that now becoming available for static deployment.
A ship, a lorry or a train is often highly secure while in a port or depot, being physically protected and under close surveillance, but once outside they are a relatively soft target for bands of organized and often dangerous criminals. The theft of high value, high risk products in transit cost businesses over €8.2 billion a year, according to recent European Union figures. Since the terrorist attacks on New York on September 11th 2001 the threat of terrorism has also loomed large over the transport sector. Oil rigs' isolation means they face similar threats.
Terror organizations may engage in theft to fund their operations or they may see it as an end in itself, potentially disrupting, destroying or capturing vehicles containing hazardous or dangerous materials such as chemical liquids, gas, or radioactive material. After the September 11th attacks the United Nations agreed proposals to enhance the security of dangerous goods in transport. Terror organizations have demonstrated their willingness to target mass transportation networks along with other areas of critical infrastructure.
Over 70 per cent of all goods transported in the EU are transported using road haulage, a transport method which carries one of the highest risks of being victim of criminal activity. Truck thieves generally steal the whole vehicle or break into trailers to take the contents, sometimes cutting panels and causing other costly damage to gain access. Drivers too are vulnerable to attack and theft. The most common place for a truck to be attacked is at an unguarded parking lot while the driver is asleep. Large cities, like London and Madrid are the biggest hot spots, but countries like Belgium also have a problem. In the UK alone, 324,000 crimes were recorded against the transport and storage sector in 2012.
The threat is equally pressing at sea as it is on land. Modern day piracy has presented a significant challenge since civil war broke out in Somalia in the early 1990s with an upsurge in recent years posing a threat to critical maritime infrastructure. There were no fewer than 49 piracy incidents in the first quarter of 2014 according to the International Maritime Bureau (IMB), an offshoot of the International Chamber of Commerce focussed on fighting maritime crime. Two of these vessels were hijacked, 37 boarded and five fired on board. Five more attempted attacks were reported. There were 12 reports off the Africa's west coast, including the hijacking of two vessels with 39 crew taken hostage and two kidnapped.
Security on the move
The impossibility of securing all main roads, rivers and open seas means the ships, trucks and trains they convey need to be equipped to detect threats themselves. Advance warning offers the chance to evade, deter or repel an intruder.
A European Commission-backed research project called ARENA, short for Architecture for Recognition of thrEats to mobile assets using Networks of Affordable sensors, has attempted to deliver a solution which could work in a wide range of transport scenarios. There are currently no affordable early warning or deterrent technologies to address the threat.
FOI, the Swedish Defence Research Agency, co-ordinated the seven-strong research partnership drawn from five EU countries. FOI's partners were: Leading international maritime design and engineering company, BMT Group; ITTI, an IT company from Poland; hi-tech firm SAFRAN Sagem Défense Sécurité of France; electronic security company SAFRAN MORPHO, the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO); and the University of Reading, in the UK.
The project is coming to a close next month at the end of its three-year lifespan. Over that time the project sought to investigate a system applicable to a range of different deployments: stationary platforms relative to the land, such as a truck or train stop; stationary platforms relative to the sea, such as ships in port or oil rigs; mobile platforms relative to land, such as trucks or trains in transit; and mobile platforms relative to the sea, such as ships at sea or oil rig support vessels.
Its research built on existing work on the surveillance of public spaces. No new sensor development was done. Instead, the team focussed on exploiting existing, low-cost sensor technologies like visual and infra-red video, acoustic sensors, seismic sensors and radar. It also built on other work, such as the Integrated Mobile Security Kit where a multi-sensor surveillance system is installed in a van which can be brought to public space when needed. Another contributing technology, known as ADABTS (Automatic Detection of Abnormal Behaviour and Threats in crowded Spaces), addresses automatic detection of abnormal human behaviour that might signal crime is afoot. And another, called SECTRONIC, is a 24-hour small area surveillance system for maritime application.
ARENA also aimed to minimize nuisance the system might cause if it were to go off for no reason. Humans are naturally good at putting together lots of fragmentary information and signals and spotting what is a threat and what is not. Machines on the other hand are not. The ARENA system combined complementary sensors to reduce false alarm rates. The threat-detection task was also broken down into four interconnected steps: object detection, object tracking; event recognition; and threat recognition. The fewer the bystanders to the vehicle, the easier the system could interpret what is going on, meaning that it would be easier to detect a threat in a quiet railway siding than when standing by a busy platform. For the same reason, trains may, on the whole, prove easier to protect than trucks, which often park in places where there is innocent foot traffic.
The project also tackled the sensitive legal and ethical issues involved in surveillance and electronic security, particularly those revolving around privacy. It will be crucial to have the consent of the driver for any camera system which secures a vehicle on the basis of facial recognition. Facial recognition cameras were only used in the cab of a vehicle, so presented no challenge in respect of the privacy of passers-by.
ARENA's innovative combination of existing surveillance technology provides autonomous monitoring and situational awareness of the environment surrounding critical mobile assets, alerting personnel to threats. In achieving this goal it has the potential to fill the yawning security gap between harbours, depots and garages, currently a cash cow for criminals and potentially a loophole exploited by terrorists.
There has been an uneasy acceptance that piracy, hijacking and thefts are facts of commercial life, particularly when trading in some parts of the world. But a growing refusal to accept this situation has helped to put the issue to the top of the EU agenda. ARENA may signal the beginning of a fundamental shift in the balance of power away from criminals, improving the safety of transport personnel and ultimately, cutting costs for everyone.

Honolulu Coffee Shop, made famous by its Hong Kong-style egg tart, is closing after 20 years on the same premises in Central, a victim of soaring rent.
It posted notices on its doors and on Facebook that it be will be closing on Saturday with the expiry of its lease, Headline Daily reports.
The owner of the shop space has signed a contract with the Tsui Wah chain of restaurants for a monthly rent of HK$400,000 (US$51,520).
The Central shop at 33 Stanley Street sells 1,000 egg tarts and 200 pineapple buns a day.
The restaurant's name was inspired by a Hawaiian coffee of which founder Yeung Jin-hei is an avid fan.
The coffee shop started operations under a different name in the 1940s in Sham Shui Po as a small outlet serving only drinks and baked foods.
After moving to Wan Chai, it began serving various options for lunch, tea and dinner.
Its Central branch has been around since 1996 and has been a popular place for tea among workers in Central.
Regular customers are heartbroken by the news, with some saying they hope it will reopen in another location, albeit a smaller one.
Derrick Yeung, the founder's son who is also a director of the coffee shop, said it was not the owner of the shop space that initiated the rent increase but Tsui Wah.
The shop survived the worst of Hong Kong's slump from the financial crisis to SARS but could not afford the new rent, Yeung said.
With the closure of the Central outlet, the cafe will have only two stores left — in Wanchai and Tseung Kwan O.
Yeung said he will only consider opening up in less expensive areas.
