NEWS AND.... THE REST OF THE STORY
Linked stories are for your consideration - I never endorse anyone's opinion but my own. All my writings are well researched; particularly stories pertaining to the environment, renewable energy, military science and bicycling.
Note: As a former American soldier, I don't take sides in international conflicts and try to be objective.
I am a proud American, a former Soviet Jew, a patriot, and an IT professional. “Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.”
“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.” — Winston Churchill

Let's get this out of the way:
• No fake neonazis/Jewbashers -- and yes, you're all fake.
• No fake flat Earthers -- and yes, you're all fake.
• No bootlicking, fake or otherwise, until you can explain why YOU believe it's immoral for YOU to be the highest authority over... (are you ready for it?) ...YOUR life. (If it *is* your life... *is* it *your* life?)
• No preaching or quoting Babble verses at me. Odds are a quadrillion to one that I know more about it than you do. ...And we need to have a word about all the inventions, such as "God", that somehow end up inserted without comment into every "translation" (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) of the original Hebrew texts. Because those contain not a single supernatural concept. Period. Not sorry. Deal with it.
👉 For the record:
I don't think either sex is "better" than the other • I comprehend that "race" is meaningless to any practical purpose in life • I comprehend that all religions are invented • the only authority I recognize is my conscience • I'm not a member of any group or organization.
Also, I don't believe things.
👆 That is the most vital thing to understand. If you can ennumerate for yourself and understand all the ramifications of that, we'll get along just fine.
By way of explanation, it's about being self-honest and disciplined of mind.
I've yet to ever meet anyone whose brainpower appeared to approach my own. I'm just going to say that from now on, being a little bitter around the edges from waiting nearly half a century to meet another like me and it still not happening.
I'm just not "your average guy". Never have been, never will be... can't be, in fact. I couldn't be normal if I wanted to. Thankfully, I've never had the slightest interest in being anything other than whatever I naturally am.
Sorry in advance.
Anyway, I'm The Archivist; I archive things. I always have.
If I make any kind of statement, I already have good information to back it up, ready at hand. I make up my mind about things very slowly and very carefully, usually after a deep and thorough investigation... so I'm not an easy person to argue with.
Again, sorry in advance.
That being said... I actually *live* to be proven wrong. Because being proven wrong means I become less wrong, or more right. And I want to be as right as I possibly can at all times... don't you? I have no resistance to changing my mind. But to prove me wrong and change my mind, you have to bring the only two things I pay attention to: evidence and logic.
Opinions and beliefs are fine for trivial matters like one's personal preference of ice cream flavors. For any serious subject, they're worse than worthless.

I AM JARV. Founding fathers spoke of a painting with a sunset/sunrise.. Ben (I believe it was) asked, is it a rising sun or a setting one.. in 1776 it was rising. And what about NOW? The West is Ending.. Or is it REALLY?
