Olympic games in Paris (2024)

Lead story in our local paper today sez the "spectacular" opening ceremony was a "resounding success" and that "only 5% of people didn't like it."

Ouf ! And how desperate to revert to such blatant propaganda.

I don’t know if I missed someone talking about it or not, but isn’t it also more than a little grotesque that you would present an extremely overweight woman at front and center of the olympic opening ceremony? At the opening of the single most prominent sports event in the world where the most athletic people on the planet and in history meet and compete against eachother.

She's not overweight, she seems to me suffering from morbid obesity, which is a disease. It's really incredible to have put this woman in the Olympics, who is supposed to have an athletic, muscular, strong, graceful body, as well as being light for certain competitions. The beauty of the body, right? I can't believe it, I am choked to see this woman, not because she is sick physically but because she is sick mentally. But people, asleep and with a mentality of 5 years, do not see the message, which is that the normality for these scoundrels of Davos and company, is, from now on, the disease.

And people believe this propaganda, you bet!

Turkey has been a member of NATO since 1952.

My error. I meant the EU.

The EU can’t be a member of NATO, only countries can. Many countries within the EU are in NATO, such as Germany and France.
