There's something so stirring, inspirational and galvanizing about John Pilger's work that makes his writing essential reading for anyone with any kind of interest in world news or politics.

Admires civilizations with greater air power. Dislikes civilizations with weaker air power. A stakeholder fiercely vouching for a specific vendor although prices from other vendors are much cheaper.

How happy is the land whose ruler follows the one true religion, and protects the souls of his people!We’ve all had at least one toxic person in our professional and private lives over the years. They may be relatives, friends, or coworkers who subtly weave you into their personal agenda. Alexander, Ambiorix, Cleopatra, Genghis Khan, Harald Hardrada, Hojo Tokimune, Lady Six Sky, Shaka and Wu Zetian will never have this agenda.
