"The pioneers get all the arrows"
My first calling was as a musician and songwriter...I was fortunate enough to have a good run...Some songs from a friend of mine you never heard but might like...

Friend of mine once told me this lyric should be stitched on a pillow:
"I believe that life is for living and love is the axis on which we turn
We bare our souls till all is forgiven
and clothe ourselves with the lessons learned"
---KH
A favorite quote from a favorite author:
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
― Robert A. Heinlein
...and one I saw on a studio wall in Nashville:
“Never attempt to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig.”
― Robert Heinlein, Time Enough for Love
OK...one more...
“A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot.”
― Robert A. Heinlein, Friday

Holocaust denial never happened.
6 million is way too many to deny. Given the time frame and resources, you could maybe deny 500K at most.

It follows now the qoutes section:
“Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. At all counts, it forms an unconscious snag, thwarting our most well-meant intentions.”
(Carl Jung)
"Political correctness is facism disguised as politeness."
(George Carlin)
“Moral indignation is a technique used to endow the idiot with dignity.”
(Marshall McLuhan)
"Strong people are harder to kill and generally more usefull "

"A gruesome war that just finished has again spared our dear Switzerland, as if by a miracle, not least because in 1939 we were able to count on 300'000 trained and well minded shooters.
We always want to think about that, because there will be times when our riflemen are smiled at or even are molsted"
(General Henri Guisan, Mai 1945)
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.
Dabbler writer, wannabe mechanic and shooter from Italy 🇮🇹. I'm a patriot and proud of it.
I talk about #Italy, #Gothic, #Castles, #Cars, and #Motorcycles.
✒️ DARK WRITER ✒️
After midnight, I'm a passionate #gothic, #horror, #swordandsorcery, #sciencefiction writer who tries to do his best to create something unusual, gore and emotional. I published two books: In Nomine Patris (2012) and Miserere (2023) and some short stories even here on Minds (see Blog)
I would be very happy to collaborate with other artists: illustrators, musicians and so on as I've already done in the past.
🔧 HOBBYIST MECHANIC 🔧
I like old #cars and #motorcycles, especially american-made vintage cars. I take care of my '68 #Chevrolet#Corvette and I love to drive it, despite the Italian gasoline price (1.9€/litre!); I've got also a '74 #MVAgusta 125S, an Italian motorcycle quite rare to see today.
🥆 LONG-TIME SHOOTER 🥆
Despite EU and lefties daily attempts of deny my good-citizen rights, I'm a #gun collector and a practical #shooter from when I was 18 years old. I also never killed anyone at college.

Totalitarianism is a political system where the state strives to control all aspects of people's public and private life through mass surveillance, restriction of speech, state controlled media, and terrorism. This is what the corporate press and social media channels have become in America today.
