Greece Begins The Great Pivot Toward Russia
Ten days ago, before the smashing success of Greece's anti-austerity party, Syriza, we noted that Russia gave Greece a modest proposal: turn your back on Europe, whom you despise so much anyway, and we will assist your farmers by lifting the food import ban.
And, sure enough, Greece's new premier Tsipras did hint with his initial actions that Greece may indeed pivot quite aggressively away from Europe and toward Russia in general and the Eurasian Economic Union in particular (as a tangent recall "Russia's "Startling" Proposal To Europe: Dump The US, Join The Eurasian Economic Union").
Some recent examples of this dramatic shift in perspective were the following:
Tsipras's first meeting with a foreign ambassador since being elected Greek PM was with Russia's Andrey Maslov #Greece #ekloges2015

Today we got further evidence that Tsipras will substantially realign his country's national interest away from the west and toward... the east.
First, as Reuters reported, today the new premier halted the "blue light special" liquidation of Greece to those highest bidders who have the closest access to various printing presses and stopped the privatization of Greece's biggest port on Tuesday, "signaling he aims to stick to election pledges despite warning shots from the euro zone and financial markets."
One of the first decisions announced by the new government was stopping the planned sale of a 67 percent stake in the Piraeus Port Authority, agreed under its international bailout deal for which China's Cosco Group and four other suitors had been shortlisted.
"The Cosco deal will be reviewed to the benefit of the Greek people," Thodoris Dritsas, the deputy minister in charge of the shipping portfolio, told Reuters.
Europe, for one, will be most displeased that Greece has decided to put its people first in the chain of priority over offshore bidders of Greek assets. Most displeased, especially since the liquidation sale of Greece is part of the Greek bailout agreement: an agreement which as the Troika has repeatedly stated, is not up for renegotiation.
Syriza had announced before the election it would halt the sale of state assets, a plank of the 240 billion-euro bailout agreement. Stakes in the port of Thessaloniki, the country's second biggest, along with railway operator Trainose and rolling stock operator ROSCO are also slated to be sold.
And it wasn't just this open act of defiance that marked the new government's anti-European agenda:
In a separate step, the deputy minister in charge of administrative reform, George Katrougkalos said the government would reverse some layoffs of public sector workers, rolling back another key bailout measure. "It will be one of the first pieces of legislation that I will bring in as a minister," he told Mega TV.
The Germans were not happy: A German central banker warned of dire problems should the new government call the country's aid program into question, jeopardizing funding for the banks. "That would have fatal consequences for Greece’s financial system. Greek banks would then lose their access to central bank money," Bundesbank board member Joachim Nagel told Handelsblatt newspaper.
Well, maybe.... Unless of course Greece finds a new, alternative source of funding, one that has nothing to do with the establishmentarian IMF, whose "bailouts" are merely a smokescreen to implement pro-western policies and to allow the rapid liquidation of any "bailed out" society.
An alternative such as the BRIC Bank for example. Recall that the "BRICS Announce $100 Billion Reserve To Bypass Fed, Developed World Central Banks."
And yes, the BRIC are going through their own share of pain right now as a result of plunging crude prices, but remember: crude is only low as long as the US shale sector is still vibrant. Once this marginal producer of crude with a $80 cost-breakeven is out of the picture, watch as Saudi Arabia tightens the spigots and Crude surges to $100, $150 or more. The question is whether Saudi FX reserves can outlast the Fed's ZIRP, which is the only reason - think idiots junk bond investors desperate for any ounce of yield - why the bulk of unprofitable and cash flow-bleeding US shale can still operate with WTI at $45.
Which naturally means that now Russia (and China) are set to become critical allies for Greece, which would immediately explain the logical pivot toward Moscow.
But wait, there's more.
As Bloomberg further reports, "Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias is due in Brussels on Thursday to discuss possible additional sanctions on Russia over the conflict in Ukraine. Before the cabinet even meets for the first time tomorrow, the Greek government said that it disagreed with an EU statement in which President Donald Tusk raised the prospect of “further restrictive measures” on Russia."
The punchline:
In recent months, Kotzias wrote on Twitter that sanctions against Russia weren’t in Greece’s interests. He said in a blog that a new foreign policy for Greece should be focused on stopping the ongoing transformation of the EU “into an idiosyncratic empire, under the rule of Germany.”
And when it comes to the natural adversary of any German imperial ambitions in recent history, Europe has been able to produce only one answer...

Greeks are Greek Orthodox. Russians are Russian Orthodox. Very very similar churches.
"Greeks are Greek Orthodox. Russians are Russian Orthodox. Very very similar churches."
orthodox
Houghton Mifflin adj.adjectiveOf or relating to Orthodox Judaism.
You like BOATS? Greeks are Greek Orthodox. Russians are Russian Orthodox. Jews are Judaistic Orthodox.
Adhering to the accepted or traditional and established faith, especially in religion.
Adhering to the Christian faith as expressed in the early Christian ecumenical creeds.
Of or relating to any of the churches or rites of the Eastern Orthodox Church.
Of or relating to Orthodox Judaism.
Adhering to what is commonly accepted, customary, or traditional.
an orthodox view of world affairs.
I was on the verge of downarrowing you, because of your totally propagandistic comment; but it is important that the truth regarding the definition 'orthodoxy' be known. The sheople are AWAKENING...
My point was, a shared religion between Greek and Russian people, may make it easier for them to see themselves as "closer" . I don't know much about Orthodox Judaism, so, I don't think I can comment intelligently on that.
Well, maybe the Greek church can pay the Russian loans then when the time comes. The Greek church is Greece's money pit number one. Greeks don't pay taxes, they "give" to the church. It's a protection racket. Does it work the same in Russia? Don't think so. Russia has real mafia.
>>>Greeks are Greek Orthodox. Russians are Russian Orthodox. Very very similar churches.
Essentially, most Orthodox churches are "the same church", though there is variation in liturgy and politics. "The Saker", for instance is of Russian Orthodox background, but belongs to a Greek Orthdox congregation; he can do that because there is no doctrinal difference between the two.
Interestingly, a member of an Orthodox church is permitted to take communion at a Roman Catholic church, though few would be caught dead doing so. FWIW a Roman Catholic is not permitted to take communion at an Orthodox church.
The Greeks do not have much choice.
I am so disappointed in the war mongering West.
Look at the heat Russia is taking and they are not at war with anyone, yet.
How many countries are USA spies, troops, arms and drones in?
What does that tell you?
I am tired of Red and Blue, both sides are just as bad.
A sniper is a hero? Dr. Ruth, the sex therapist used to be a sniper in the 1940's too.
When murderers and the warmongers are idolized and peacemakers are ridiculed, we know there is a problem.
Interesting that the Israeli flag is White and Blue, and their wardog's, the DC US, is White, Blue, and Red.
The banksters need to repay us.
To Clarify: You didn't mean the Vichy US(Vichy Americans work in DC, Wall Street, and Federal Reserve Branch Locations), because that is how I am reading it.
- LOL or Cry.
"DC US" is my term for the US nation, and criminal occupiers of the American country.
I am not just specifying the criminals that happen to rule from D.C., but all of the criminals, far and wide, from the town halls to DC.
I feel that I need to do this because many still equate US with America. I wish to differentiate the criminals of the US nation, the DC US, wherever they rule from or reside, from the American people, and country.
I am American, not US subject.
The banksters need to repay us.
And it helps to differentiate from Caribbean, Central, South America, and Canadians from USA Banksters, Politicians, and Lobbyist.
- Fact
Kruschev(?) was correct the USSR will sell them(USA) all the rope they need to hang themselves
That was Mr. Lenin.
Russian bailout? Methinks... Maybe
No bailout necessary, just stiff all their creditors with Russia and China as protection. Start fresh with zero debt and two big economies as trading partners and investors.
Nah. Russia can help by buying food for dollars. Heck, they are unloading USTs so they could use those to buy food. There is also pipeline to skim for dollars. The dollar is strong now and maybe going to get stronger before the collapse. The ECB is going to print so euros should weaken. As longer the dollar stays strong the easier it will be for Greece to pay back debt with worthless paper dollars. As long as they pay then Europe can't really complain too much. In the end, Europe will always need fuel and Russia has fuel. Europe (with plenty of help) blew up Ukraine so now another way has to be found.
If you could rewind it all and rewatch at a faster speed, it seems almost orchestrated.
PTI,
Now that scenario would be damn interesting...
All they have to do is start talking about a port deal for Russia.
Then watch what happens.
Good point. And if they get Greece, guess what else they get? Cyprus (which the Russians already use to resupply their Mediterranean fleet at Limassol). Full circle.
Yeah but the Greeks screwed Cyprus. Plus one third is Turkey with the only real money there being the British Pound.
I agree with William. I was thinking the same thing. Another warm weather port closer to the action would benefit Russia greatly, and the extra winter vacation spots for the Russian Elite would be enticing too. Greece may very well become the global spy center of the world soon.
I suspect Russia is about to Peg the Ruble to gold. Expect a new Drachma to do the same
implied for sure, a port deal...
not what you say, it's what you don't say...
And perhaps they ask NATO to leave Souda Bay ?
Or Saudi influence/control of Marina Del Rey, California ?
everyone's got dibs on everything these days.
Good luck with that! If Greeks thought that Euro creditors were badass, then I have news for them. Russians don't take well to jawboning and lipservice when it comes to debt payments.
Come on man, they're both Orthodox /s

That artwork amidst rubble is kind of interesting?
Napoleon in background - failed Russian invasion
etc. etc. - lots of stuff in that cover
There are several people I don't recognize which may help it make more sense.
Who is the woman to Putins right, and the woman on the far right of the cover? for example
On the economist cover, the numbers on the arrows could represent numerology as shown by Christine Lagarde in that press junket in the fall.
that is to say; 11 3 11 5 could be 1+!+3+1+1+5= 12=3
so maybe all this goes down in March, While we are mesmorised by the market crisis, just where the pied piper wants us while the drums of war beat and they play on our fears. there was a thread on this cover a few ago here.
So what will you make of this when 11th March and 11th May pass without a single catastrophic thing happening.
Our minds are unfortunately locked into symbolism, paganism, mysticism, ritual and superstition. We are primitive creatures with advanced weapons. Imagine if you gave a chimpanzee troop a few machine guns . . . . . . you'd get the fuck out of there. That's pretty much what the human race amounts to.
Yeh sure, the shit is hitting the fan as we speak but the fate of the world sure as shit isn't televised on the cover of a magazine. Jesus christ people, we don't need to paint our own virtual reality. That cover of the magazine is probably put together by an arts graduate for fun.
It really doesn't matter what we think of the symbolism. What you need to understand is it matters to them (TPTB). Anyone living through 9/11 should never doubt that evil exists in this world. And evil is not something intangible. No skin off my nose if both 3/11 and 5/11 pass without incident. I don't lose sleep over any of this. It's the middle of winter, and we're all a little bored right now, so chill out dude.
I was just pointing out how many times these sorts of predictions have been made, thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions. To my knowledge none of them have come to fruition because if they did, the cat would be out of the bag. We desperately need to predict the future, it's ingrained in our minds.

Greece has been screaming default since The Parthenon was financed .
Funny but ignorant comment. I suggest you read a very weighty book written by Sidney Homer and Richard Sylla titled INTEREST RATES. Therein you will find out that Greek City states would find it difficult to borrrow money and they were therefore either required to provide real estate security or some of their wealthy citizens would have to go as guarantors.
In one instance when the city of Cyme had defaulted on her loans her citizens were not allowed to use the public colonades to get out of the sun because they had been pledged as security.
It is amazing how in Ancient times lenders had more sense about what security they took but 2500 years later the corrupt banking and political system has substituted this common sense by socializing losses.
As long as the EU has no respect for sovereign nations there will be turmoil. The elites think they can just order the peasants to act as they wish but they are sadly mistaken
The whole idea behind the EU is to destroy national sovereignty. I prefer a true diversity of peoples living amongst themselves in a land that's their own without ceaseless meddling by centuries old carpet baggers.
Well the Greeks have quite a history. How come they aren't running the EU show? They certainly had advanced societies dating back BC.
Lack of population and resources to start.
Hundreds of years ago Europe moved away from serfdom. The EU brought them back to serfdom. The USA is not any different.
Generally, settled societies don't emerge with a class of bondsmen, serfdom has to be "introduced", by motivated parties who possess land by virtue of organized violence (a.k.a. divine right). The aristocratic Poles were particularly fond of serfdom, and imposed in on those parts of Ukraine they controlled, from whence it spread to other lands of the Rus.
Wasn't that long ago Freddie with all due respect.
The Establishment were able to lift the foot off the serf/servants neck when able to replace them with Indian necks.

Greece might beable to work with Turkey on the new Russian South Sea pipeline. Turkey just approved the deal and wants to set up a hub between Greece. Bulgaria got stuffed due to NATO.
Greece's location is actually better than Bulgaria for transit to Europe. Maybe some doors will open for them.
you're dreaming there.

since Russia is building specific rocket engines for NASA-i think this sanctions thing is for nutjobs-also watch France cave in after they start to return the money RUssia gave them to build new ships
Yes. Any link between Russia's mastery of rocket propulsion and Russia's ability to sink any ship that gets near the Onyx anti-ship missile defense system is not coincidental. So much for being little more than "a giant gas station."
sanctions against Russia weren’t in Greece’s interests
Nor are they in Germany's interests. They are only in the Neocon warmongers' interests. But Germany is an occupied country and all its politicians compromised by massive NSA spying – Merkel has been spied upon since 2002.

I can see why you don't want to talk about the current guy after he turns to Russia. Got it!
But is your reasoning: "He can't be doing bad because the guys before him blew it."
History shows, repeatedly, that you can go from the frying pan into the fire, e.g. French Revolution, Russian Revolution, Communist China, etc.
"Stop criticizing Mao, the previous guys were jerks." And then there were 60M dead.
The passion to "tear it all down now" leads to destruction, and, if history is to be believed, once that destruction starts usually a tyrant takes over. I don't wish that on anyone.
Who really gives a flying fuck at this point is my "reasoning".
Yeah, out of the frying pan and into the fire = tyrant takes over = U.S drone strikes.
Wait, you obviouly think I give a shit?
Hey, Rip Van Winkle, Umm, it's no longer 1962...time to wake up!
"My what deep pockets you have, Mr. Putin!"
Here comes Nuland and the Coup. Anyone who thinks a pivot east will stand when the USA owns Europe, they are fools. The CIA is already working it's paid Greeks and their military and security organs to lay ground for Coup in Greece. Think I am wrong. Just watch if Greece dares defy the USA.
Besides, the USA is out for Blood now that it's Junta in Kiev is being smashed on the battle field, and thousands of Ukrainian men have left for Hungary, Poland and Russia to escape the next call up to replace the thousands killed on the battle filed the last two weeks. I don't see an outraged Washington DC letting an election in Greece allow them any chance to seek alliance with Russian or Chinese interests. But that said, China with 4 trillion in FX reserves, could easily come to Greece and begin a 200 billion dollar economic investment scheme. Easily. If I had that money and a country with Greeces natural position and potential for agriculture and tourism. China could come with investment capital, not loans to pay EU bankers, the fucking EU is a sick cancer, coming only to do banks bidding and squeeze money from Greece for the banks. China could come with just the opposite offer. We have capital, let us invest!
So the Chinese and Russians just come in like butterflies and angels sprinkling "investments" around Greece with no concern for repayment? No ulterior motives?
They are just philanthropists! Voila!
You crack me up. If it's not the USA it's someone else with deep pockets wanting something. Greece never had to be at the mercy of the EU or anyone else. They made choices. Their leadership did at least. Just like our stupid leadership makes choices that harm our future. Result is the same.

"That would have fatal consequences for Greece’s financial system. Greek banks would then lose their access to central bank money,"
Hey asshole! Don't you really mean Central Bank Debt?
Indeed. Central bank money comes as loans. Payable with interest. How are Greeks to pay more loans, they can't pay the ones outstanding now! Central Banks are an evil which must finally be smashed.
Certainly, the Pure Evil Criminal Psychopaths at the CIA have their Jackels in place for payment in "their pound of flesh."

The OLD avatar pic was the BETTER one.
Let's call them ' old loans ' reparation monies and Greece now start with a clean slate JB.
Now it looks more attractive for China/Russia Investment ( economic & geopolitical ).
Greece and Turkey can swallow the bad blood ( it's getting old ) as the YOUTH need a fresh kick-start, otherwise NO ONE WINS. . . and so plenty of upside with the oil reserves in the disputed region and investment in transit lines/ transport direct to China/East.
The EU was about control by the Cabal at ANY cost. Sure we'll see others Jump Ship ( Spain, Italy , even France. . ) With 50% youth unemployment and no QUICK FIX who could turn down an OBVIOUS SOLUTION and expect to retain POWER.

Tsipras ran a campaign of anti austerity, not alliance with Russia. Russia can't feed its own people right now.
When Tsipras won't be able to deliver the goods, greeks will go out to protest and put him out of power.
Greeks are no longer revolutionaries. If Tsipras has not understood that, his days are numbered. Greeks will overthrow him when electricity is cut and hospitals run out of drugs.
god what utter Bullsh*t

@ekm1
You're such a wanker. 'Russia can't feed it's people'. Do you mean Russia is not self sufficient in food production OR the Government is responsible to feed its citizens?
The UK and USSA have far higher rates of child hunger/ poverty than Russia and that despite sufficiency in food production, So what's your point.
Over the coming years Russia will be far more self sufficient and less dependent on food imports whilst the UK & USSA will see increased poverty.
Have yet to see you come up with credible arguement.
ekm: Yes, I remember you during your days as a simple "ekm". No need to put that "1" behind your new name.
No idea why you bother re-entering ZH under a new name. Did the Tylers punt your ass out the door for something you said? Tell us, what the fuck is the reason you are posting here again?
Most of your posts are so cryptic that the NSA can't figure them out. Speak in plain FUCKING LANGUAGE for FUCK sakes! Honest to Fuck, this gibberish and double entendre ekm-speak is getting old. Which is probably why you got booted from ZH the first time.
ekm had many interesting posts while ekm1 is just off in his/her own little world. I didn't think it was the same person posting as ekm and ekm1 but I don't know why anybody would go through the trouble of picking that name, so I don't get it.
I picked my name even though I have nothing to do with the bucket shop of the same name, it made sense to me at the time, an isnide joke with myself. Perhaps it made sense to him at the time or it really is the same person.
Folks who post things that are spooky and cryptic are just trying to fuck with people's heads. It's an attempt to manipulate. I remember cog dis trying the same crap. Fuck them both sideways with a chain saw.
Go to any denomination of church and you'll hear the same thing. If it doesn't mean anything, then it's not some puzzle to work out. Just ignore it.

So far Tsirpas has pissed off the Germans and is stocking now the Russians. As if the Russians really want to give him the time of day. No matter how Tsirpas tries to slice and dice it, Greece is more of a liability than an asset.
>>>Greece is more of a liability than an asset.
Given Greece's geographic position, and its (current) membership in NATO, you can bet the Russians are "interested in" Greece. Greece's exact position on the Russian leadership's priority list is not clear, though.
While I'm certainly against these leftist scum bags known as Syriza, I do hope that the destruction of the EU is at hand. Globalism must be resisted and those who foisted it upon us, the international jews, need to be severely punished. Nationalism is the only legitimate political philosophy. Nationalism is putting ones own nation and people first and is the polar opposite of globalism which is simply a group of traitors who have wandered endlessly fucking over everyone they've come across by selling out the nations who have hosted them. With no where else to parasite off of they have now resorted to "multiculturalism" in order to subdue the one race that has proven able to resist them. It's not just a bunch of brainwashed white college kids screaming about "racism", "social justice", "disparate impact", and "diversity". There is much thought and a great deal of money behind these movements.
Xenophobia begs to differ. Nationalism is just another step in the evolution of man. Band to tribe to chiefdom to nation/state. What is the only logical next step?
to incorporation of states & Zaibatsus.
I actually don't know, so I listed some here:
Any Futurists here? I've read where science fiction suggests regional organization under incorporation as a:
- Federation
- Confederacy
- Union
- United States of Europe
- United States of Asia
- Union of South America
- United Nations
- West European Federation
- Warsaw Pact Nations
- Eurasian Economic Union
- Commonwealth of Independent States
- Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation
- Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO)
- EurAsian Economic Community (EurAsEC)
- Asia - Pacific Economic Cooperation ( APEC )
- Asia Regional Integration Center (ARIC) FTA (Free Trade Agreement)
- China, People's Republic of (29 Free Trade Agreements)
- Asia-Pacific Trade Agreement - Signed and In Effect
Too complicated. Productive men have no time for convoluted social organizations.
I predict total chaos followed by a return to the garden of Eden.
<<Any Futurists here?>>
Going to get worse before it gets better then.
Excellent work Tylers.
let the dominos fall where they may-the USA can no longer be a crybaby......
Good news, ie herd all the rodents into one place.
I hope the Greeks "borrow" trillions of rubles from the Russkies :-))
And when it comes to the natural adversary of any German imperial ambitions in recent history, Europe has been able to produce only one answer...
Really...?
And what's that then ?
Just curious.
UHHHH; war?
Think swastikas, goose schtepping, and little Hitler mustaches.

Grease should stop slipping from one big backer or another and internally get their house in order without a crutch, which always comes with a price.
Bloomberg has redesigned the website and has removed the comment section too. This means we are winning this war against the MSM. Long live to alternative media.
Really,rofl
You know, China can stand on its own now. So perhaps China should be set free, and Greece could join the BRICS. Which would then make it BRIGS.
Hmmm. Maybe they won't like that acronym, though.
LOL
"BRIGS" ...I like it ;-)
That's an interesting point.
I would be looking at the example of several South American nations (like Argentina or Venezuela, for example) for the answer to your question.
You could call it 'CHI-BRIGS', I suppose.
well i agree with that statement...but then why did greece/cyprus enter EU which will always be dominate by france/germany...
because it was supossed to be a democratic union.

One, General John Stark, commanded the First New Hampshire Militia, which gained fame at the Battles of Bunker Hill and Bennington. Stark later coined the phrase “Live free or die,” New Hampshire’s state motto.[4][5]
I must be getting old and cynical, but I just keep thinking this Tsipras guy will be shown to be a tool of the EU when all is said and done. Hopefully I am wrong.
Ukraine-adjacent!

These Greek kids are the real deal. Under 50 years old, pissed off at the European kleptocracy, and making bold moves from day one.
I'm with ya, but then that's what I thought about Egypt...
Maybe now Russia will turn their gas back on.
"Pivot" or "pirouette"? (That's where you spin around until the evil/handsome prince re-appears or you just collapse on the stage like some poor streetwalker with a few remaining shreds of human dignity.)
the only logical chess move is for europe to leverage and finance golden dawn and agitate a civil war in greece. the maidan style golden dawn will ally itself with EU against russia. without question.
there is no other play. if tsipras is who he says he is ( and that's a big if) the continued problem of 'the greek problem' has not direction to go but worse. moscow will of course exploit this weakness in the armor of europe. and it will become a point of leverage against the ECB and the US.
The problem will be that moderate up to far right excluding the extremists are now part of the Government, so that this approach isn't that easy to realise.
I can tell you there are a lot of babushkas in Russia who go absolutely nuts for olive oil.
And they kick serious ass too. Greece will be with good friends who appreciate her soon.
And Frau Merkel will need a different kind of lube, because she won't be getting olive oil up the bung hole.
Olive oil or olive-skinned hotties for meetups at night, Greece has to become a producer and exporter of goods and services somehow, and right quick. That population has to reinvent who they are. Tourism will only get them so far.
For those of you who think God doesn't exist, and no, God isn't some bearded guy in the sky
I have to ask.
All those who claimed to speak in God's name centuries ago, even before the time of Christ, have predicted this would be coming and how. They had human nature pegged to a T and technology just gave the evil ones an upper hand.
Is it a coincidence?
Any country which spends money on nukes, the sole purpose for a nuke is not defense, it is to murder as many citizens on the opposing side as possible to demoralize and defeat a nation, regardless of the cost. Folks, if that is not terrorism, I do not know what terrorism is.
Psychopaths do not think of consequences, until they are looking at the wrong end of a barrel.
We have souls. I do not want mine to be burdened with the knowledge I murdered or participated in murder.
Nukes are a deterrent and you don't have a soul. You won't remember a thing. Rest easy.

Self-fulfilling prophecy.
The theory of ancient aliens holds more water than theism. That is saying something.
I've lived a full life in four countries. I been in fights and shot at. I used to think like you.
But there were too many I times I should have been dead and wasn't scratched. It wasn't luck. Plus a few other inexplicable things combined with all the life forms existing on earth leads me to believe there is more to this life than meets the eye.
Maybe I won't remember a thing. That is OK. When I go, I want to go in peace.
I took 18 hits of acid in one night and walked across the top of a railroad bridge thirteen stories above the snake river with two inches of ice on it in cowboy boots. Just one of many times I "should have been dead".
Lucky yes. Talented, hell yes. Stupid, yep. Miracle, no.
What is the difference between miracle and luck? :)
Luck is when you turn on your tap and wine comes out.
Pretty good answer, I have to give you credit for that one. :)

It is happening now. There is a timeline. 2017 is the target.
War won't work.
Revolution won't work.
Prayer is the only thing that can save you.
the difference is that all bad luck becomes seen as a punishment for evil.
you cannot have miracles without punishments. the difference is DIVINE JUDGEMENT.
"Nukes are a deterrent and you don't have a soul. "

We would therefore have to assume that you neither live nor pay taxes in any part of the "Anglo-American Alliance".
The thought of watching the oligarchs and their minions enjoy a world of wealth, influence, control while speading destruction with no judgement is freightning Yes, there is a god/heaven/hell and it awaits for these evil SOBs.
God is used for two purposes for the sheeps. If you have money, fund the organisation. If you are poor, join the crusade and sacrifice your life to protect and serve for the country's interest - petrodollar.
>>>We have souls. I do not want mine to be burdened with the knowledge I ...participated in murder.
Anyone who pays taxes to support the Great Satan needs to reflect long and hard on your thoughts.
Starve the Beast, by any and all means possible.
