Uncle Bosie eaten by cannibals? What do you know?

Michael Rockefeller was not Joe Biden's uncle.

I thought that the Cornpop story was a classic whopper that would never be topped. But now Biden has come out with a bizarre story about his uncle being eaten by cannibals. This is apparently a reworking of an old tale about Michael Rockefeller, heir to the Rockefeller fortune, who disappeared mysteriously in New Guinea in 1961. The Rockefeller story was the subject of a book that came out in 2014. Here is The Washington Times. PeterKa (talk) 23:25, April 19, 2024 (EDT)

Papa Bush told a similar story. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 23:44, April 19, 2024 (EDT)

Cannibalism is no laughing matter, according to White House press secretary Jean-Pierre. Maybe not, but the president faking a cannibalism story is pretty funny. PeterKa (talk) 02:52, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

There are various spellings of Bosie (Bosey, etc). I like "Uncle Boozey", as in "Boozer" or "drinks to much". RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 15:53, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

Powerlineblog has quite a collection of memes. I thought this one was the funniest: Biden for dinner 2024. PeterKa (talk) 09:57, April 22, 2024 (EDT)

Main page right, news story on US military aid to Ukraine: Mr. Simplicius, there was no Mike Johnson U-Turn. It was obvious early on that his RINOish would become putty in the hands in the establishment-military-industrial complex.

SITREP 4/19/24: A Small Gust for Ukraine's Sails?, Simplicius, 4-19-2024:

"Today we have some interesting thematic developments in the context of Ukraine’s future sustainment outlook.

The most talked about of course is the headway being made for the Ukrainian aid bill, which is set to be voted on in both the House and Senate this weekend and early next week, owing to Speaker Mike Johnson’s eye-opening U-turn. The U-turn was in fact so ‘sudden’ as to imply sinister developments behind the scenes—perhaps kompromat waving, threats, and the like. From an alleged CIA/NSA whistleblower".

Mr. Simplicius, there was no Mike Johnson U-Turn. It was obvious that he would become putty in the hands in the establishment-military-industrial complex. User: Conservative saw it in November 2023 as can be seen HERE.

Very early on, like in November 2023, I saw in Mike Johnson this type of amiable person: "Mike Johnson, the accidental Speaker of the House, has spent his seven months in power trying to be everything to everyone. Hard-right conservatives found him too squishy, like when he worked with Democrats to keep the government open, and establishment Republicans found him too conciliatory to the hard right for his attempts to appease MAGA diehards."[2]

Also, there are 4 buyer types as far as someone buying into an idea: "...the four main personality types of buyers – Assertive, Amiable, Expressive, and Analytic – and offers strategic advice on how to sell to each. Embracing these insights can elevate your sales approach, ensuring you meet the needs and expectations of diverse clients."[3]

Furthermore, of the 4 buyer types, it was clear to me that Mikes Johnson was of the amiable buyer type which is this type of buyer:

"Amiable Buyers

This group of buyers is motivated by stability and cooperation. Their aim is to make everyone else happy. They are constantly worried about how their choices will affect the people around them, and for this reason it’s often difficult for them to make big decisions.

How to sell to amiable buyers

Since their decision-making process is very slow, try to key into the social aspects that will make them feel most comfortable. These people hate change and chaos, so it’s important to highlight the ease of transition your service will provide.

"Be friendly and establish a rapport. Don’t throw in new information at the last minute, but present in a systematic style. Explain to them why your service will maintain the status quo."

Thus, I saw in the amiable Mike Johnson someone who would be putty in the hands of the establishment-military-industrial complex. He is definitely not assertive or analytic!

RobSmith, I suggest you review my international politics essays and spend less time reading Mr. Simplicius.

Simplicius was like a deer in the headlights when Mike Johnson said he was for military aid to Ukraine.

User: Conservative, saw it in November 2023 as can be seen HERE.

I trust this clarifies matters. Conservative (talk) 03:34, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

Admin action: Please do not spam Conservapedia discussion pages with self-serving narcissism. Thank you. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 10:33, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

I am pushing back on bad political commenting by a news source. It's inaccurate. Mike Johnson was a pushover personality months ago and he is one now. Conservative (talk) 11:32, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

Steve Turley is a bad news source? (Is Speaker Johnson Being BLACKMAILED?). RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 11:39, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

Speaker Mike Johnson is only engaged in the same anti-Putin propaganda you have been spouting for two years now. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 11:45, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

It's pretty obvious what happened here: The deep state took Speaker Johnson into a SCIF and showed him his text messages to his girlfriend or visits to porno sites the intel community obtained without a FISA warrant. Now Johnson is in bed with Democrats to pass FISA 702 re-authorization and funding to kill another half million Ukrainian recruits. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 11:51, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

Your speculation lacks evidence. We know that Johnson was a people pleaser/appeaser and we have testimony to this regard. I prefer evidence over speculation. Conservative (talk) 12:15, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

Alternatively, the kompromat/blackmail could have been money transfers to bank accounts from money laundering operations. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 12:16, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

How Johnson caved to the Deep State after one meeting.

If you have a problem with this, take it up with Steve Turley. He's one of the first to reveal Johnson's kompromat.

What is the problem here? Speaker Johnson is doing exactly what you have been begging for for two years already. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 12:23, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

If Trump is elected, while he will likely try to negotiate with Russia concerning the war in Ukraine, since he was recently publicly on record saying that the "survival of Ukraine is important to the US", I wouldn't rule out a Trump Administration funding the war in Ukraine. Conservative (talk) 12:41, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

Your criticism of the military industrial complex is rather disingenuous after this and about 3 dozen other screeds along the same lines.

"If Trump is elected..." If. If. If. Not likely now that Mike Johnson is pushing your anti-Putin propaganda.

Congratulations. You managed to divide the conservative movement and Republican party with your petty little vendetta over the past 2 years. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 12:44, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

Where in that essay does it say that essay the USA should fund the war in Ukraine? I believe that this is yet another example of your wishful thinking and misrepresentations/gossip.

"Gabonk!"

I do know the essay states: "I do agree with Donald Trump that America should not get into "endless wars" that do not serve America's vital interests.[51] I also agree with Trump's policy of not using the American military to "solve ancient conflicts in faraway lands".[52]".[4] And I also say in that essay: "Pointless and costly wars such as the Iraq War and War in Afghanistan are very expensive. The renowned military strategist and general Sun Tzu wrote: "There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare." Among the USA public, a less interventionalist and more isolationist sentiment is growing - particularly among young people (See: Isolationalism is growing in the United States. Is this a good thing?). Of course, anything taken to an extreme can be a bad thing. The United States should stay engaged in the world - especially when it comes to the use of skillful diplomacy. At the same time, sometimes wars are unavoidable, but when a nation engages in a war, it should be a just war (See: Just War Theory). Also, as the USA does more and more onshoring of its companies, there will be less and less of an incentive to be the world's policeman on the high seas (See: Deglobalization: The US Navy's Withdrawl as Global Protector)."[5] Conservative (talk) 12:50, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

It doesn't matter anymore. Speaker Mike Johnson is 100% on board with User:Conservative on the issues of Russia, Putin, Ukraine, and the military industrial complex. Stop spamming. You flunked Geopolitics 101.

The Russians have already hunkered down for 3 more years of war. You should quit while you're behind. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 12:53, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

It's funny that you should mention that Russia is hunkered down for three years. What will the Russian economy be like in three years? Have you heard about Putin's trilemma which involves juggling the three balls of: funding the war in Ukraine, maintaining his populace’s living standards, and safeguarding macroeconomic stability? Does Alexandra Prokopenko, a former advisor to Russia's central bank, believe that Putin can juggle all three balls for 3 years without dropping one? And what does Prokopenko say about how Russia's current labor shortages affects labor productivity in Russia? Conservative (talk) 13:23, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

It doesn't matter anymore. You've done enough damage to the conservative movement over the past 2 years and Trump's prospects for re-election. You refuse to engage civilly. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 13:32, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

You are not even a conservative. Why would you care even if what you claim is true (Which it is not)? Conservative (talk) 13:49, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

I cut my conservative teeth in 1968 as a tri-county chairman of the Young Republicans.

The Khorosan Group Does Not Exist, Andrew McCarthy, National Review, September 27, 2014. [1]

And if by "conservative" you mean stupid and willfully ignorant, no, I'm not. See: Essay: Are ignorance, stubbornness, and stupidity conservative values? RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 13:53, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

Mr. International Relations Expert, Islamic terrorists used the double-tap strategy in the early 2000s. What is the double-tap strategy and who is using it now? And where are they using it? Conservative (talk) 15:22, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

Huh? RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 15:25, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

You have never heard of double-tap attacks (Double-tap strikes)? Conservative (talk) 15:35, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

It should be apparent to yourself by now that there is something seriously wrong with your news and information sources. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 15:44, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

Unlike some people, I prefer to not live in an echo chamber and so I get my news from a wide variety of news sources. The problem with a "bubble boy" existence is that one's view of reality is warped. And ignorance and false beliefs/worldviews are not bliss and they can be dangerous. Conservative (talk) 19:54, April 22, 2024 (EDT)

Me too.

Now you just have to learn how to discern between truth and falsehood, good and evil. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 20:03, April 22, 2024 (EDT)

Redundancy and trolling

Because of your constant trolling, User:Conservative, I've had to sacrifice precious space on MPR and become redundant. For example, this was posted days ago:

• BBC via Yahoo Finance: IMF says Russia to grow faster than all advanced economies. [80]

But because of your persistence in posting globalist and neocon Essays, I've had to repost the same information, which cites the same IMF as its source days later, from a bona fide conservative publisher.

• OAN: Russia beating US economic growth despite sanctions. [1]

This is not cooperative editing on your part, and we waste readers precious time with redundant information. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 01:02, April 23, 2024 (EDT)

The redundancy you've forced on MPR to refute your neocon screeds daily is basically dumbing down the conservative movement. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 01:19, April 23, 2024 (EDT)

Propaganda update

• Russian propaganda apparently is paying off. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 16:00, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

• Granted, the second video could have been staged to confirm the first. That doesn't change the message. If you want to live, follow instructions. If you choose death, ATACMS and NATO troops will not help you. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 17:06, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

• Democrats Waive The Ukrainian Flag On The House Floor After Billions Approved. Nice work, User:Conservative, over the past 2 years. More inflation. More higher gas & food prices. More national debt. More dead slavs, etc. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 16:13, April 20, 2024 (EDT)

MPR: "Iran breaches Anglo-Zionist defenses in historic attack: a breakdown."

MPR: News story with the slant "Iran breaches Anglo-Zionist defenses in historic attack: a breakdown."

So now Conservapedia is pro-Iran? What's next? Conservapedia being pro-North Korea? Kim Jong Un did write "love letters" to Trump so maybe he's not all bad!

One of the classic moments of Trump relative to North Korea can be seen in this clip: 'Do we look handsome and thin?' Trump asks reporters during lunch with Kim. Conservative (talk) 21:10, April 22, 2024 (EDT)

Well, North Korea is being targeted by the Deep State for destruction. Just like Russia, Iran, and China. Which means we have a legitimate reason to support North Korea against South Korea, which is aligned with the Deep State. Of course, that doesn't mean we should excuse everything North Korea does or place Kim Jong Un on a pedestal. That regime is the worst kind of awful to the people it swore to protect, and an ideal world would be replaced. But unfortunately, the current circumstances make it counterproductive to support regime change. We have our own house to clean up first, and we need to bring Washington in line before it starts World War III, which would make it objectively worse than the North Korean regime is or perhaps could be.--Geopolitician (talk) 19:56, April 29, 2024 (EDT)

What makes you think it's pro-Iran? Do you know how to read?

What would you prefer, posting lies?

This is rich, coming from an editor who's added reams and reams of RINO and neo-fascist content for two years. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 21:11, April 22, 2024 (EDT)

Conservapedia may not be pro-Iran. But is should be, considering its opposition to the Wahhabi menace.--Geopolitician (talk) 19:09, April 29, 2024 (EDT)

Interesting point; but there's no reason the US can't have good relations with both Sunni and Shia majority countries, instead of looking for a client state to sell arms to and exploit divisions. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 19:47, April 29, 2024 (EDT)

When I say "Wahhabi," I don't mean all Sunni countries. Just the ones whose regimes practice the Wahhabi strain of Sunnism. The other Sunni countries we can easily co-exist with. But I'm very, very pessimistic when it comes to the idea of co-existing with Wahhabi regimes.--Geopolitician (talk) 19:58, April 29, 2024 (EDT)

I do know how to read. And it doesn't take a rocket science to see that the article is written from a pro-Iran slant. Conservative (talk) 21:19, April 22, 2024 (EDT)

Not at all. The article provides professional, military technical analysis. Not the propaganda bs you've proven yourself enamored to since April 2022. See Essay: April 2022 was a pivotal moment in the future of global politics for decades to come. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 21:25, April 22, 2024 (EDT)

Indeed, it is now obvious that the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza are directly linked. Both can be traced back to the Deep State's efforts to destroy Russia, Iran, and China. Which begs the question. When it comes to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, is it even possible to support one or two while opposing the other(s) without becoming ideologically dishonest? Or are the only ideologically honest positions either supporting all three or opposing all three? If so, then it is in our national interests to oppose all three.--Geopolitician (talk) 19:48, April 29, 2024 (EDT)

Russian sanctions beginning in 2014 drove Russia into the arms of Iran and China. That is to say, John McCain and Obama created this new "Axis of Evil" with the Magnitsky Act. And how did that happen? The Maidan coup was only a partial success, given that its main objective - to secure Sevastopol Naval Base for NATO and drive Russia out of the Mediterranean, Syria, and Africa, was a colossal failure - leading to the present-day war. Russia, China, Iran and the SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization) will never be as close as the Angelo-American relationship, but US sanctions have bound them together for now. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 20:01, April 29, 2024 (EDT)

Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan all serve as primary tools for the Deep State to destabilize Russia, Iran, and China, respectively. And those separate pet projects are part of a larger project which involves destabilizing the entire Eurasian Heartland in order to prevent any power aside from the Deep State from controlling the region, and by extension, the world. Russia, Iran, and China are the obstacles which prevent the Deep State from achieving this objective, which is why the Deep State hates them so much and regularly produces propaganda concerning them based on half-truths if not outright lies. Taking all this into account, I can't help but sympathize with Russia, Iran, and China, while feeling cold if not outright hostile towards Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. If those last three regimes are aligned with the Deep State, then they are no friends of ours.--Geopolitician (talk) 20:11, April 29, 2024 (EDT)

Yes, that was the original plan. But it's become obvious over the past year or so the US will have trouble fulling a victory over any single country or objective. Heck, it can't even defeat the Houthis who have tied up global shipping traffic, and the NATO alliance has already unraveled in the Red Sea. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 20:17, April 29, 2024 (EDT)

User:Conservative: Your obsession with "predictions" and "forecasts" is basically a form of denial of present day reality. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 11:25, April 23, 2024 (EDT)

Who's to blame for October 7?

At this point, it's becoming increasingly clear that Iran orchestrated the October 7 attack on Israel as a direct response to the Abraham Accords. On the surface level, it appears that the Iranian regime's opposition to the Abraham Accords was motivated primarily by antisemitism. But was it really? What if I told you that Iran actually had a valid reason to oppose the Abraham Accords?

Let's examine the Abraham Accords for a second. When they were first initiated in 2020, they were advertised as a series of related peace agreements between Israel and its enemies, nothing more. However, when one deconstructs the logic behind the Abraham Accords using the words of American, Israeli, and Arab officials, it becomes clear that this advertisement was a lie, and that the actual intent behind the Abraham Accords was to create an Arab-Israeli coalition against Iran, with Saudi Arabia as the crown jewel in the alliance. Please note that I do not blame Trump for this, he had good intentions but in this case was once duped by the stealth neocons who hijacked his administration from within and bastardized its pro-peace agenda, in hopes of sparking wars through more indirect means. Had Trump realized what the Abraham Accords were really about, it is highly unlikely he would've gotten onboard with them.

Now that we've examined the Abraham Accords, let's point out the obvious. With countries like Saudi Arabia in the alliance, the Abraham Accords at its full potential would pose not just a threat to the Iranian regime, but an existential threat to both the Iranian nation-state and the Iranian people. In the event of war, Saudi Arabia and its puppets would use their respective navies to cross the Strait of Hormuz and invade Iran from the south, and then (very likely) launch an Operation Barbarossa-like war of extermination. Because the Wahhabi fanatics which run those countries have long harbored genocidal hatred towards Shias in general and would gladly implement a "final solution" against them if given the opportunity. And of course, this is exactly what the neocons want. Iran knows all of this, and thus has every reason to prevent such an attack from happening at any cost.

Now, in the face of this enormous threat, if Iran wanted to strike early (which perhaps it had no choice but to do) then it had just two options. Either attack the Gulf states or attack Israel. On the surface level, the most logical by option by far would've been to attack the Gulf states. After all, they are the ones who genocide the Iranian people. When it comes to Iran, Israel just wants to be left alone, and only aligned with the Gulf States against Iran because of the many, many threats Iran has made against it over the last several decades. However, from a purely strategic standpoint the most logical option for Iran would've in fact been to attack Israel. Why? Because while attacking the Gulf states would've strengthened the Abraham Accords, attacking Israel would weaken and possibly destroy them. By attacking Israel, specifically through Hamas, not only would Iran be able to (indirectly) manipulate its Arab enemies into abandoning the Abraham Accords in solidarity with the Palestinians, it would also be able to (indirectly) manipulate Israel into waging a response so brutal that it would lose much of the sympathy it received from the international community in the immediate aftermath of the October 7 attack. And guess what? After Iran attacked Israel through Hamas, both of those things ultimately happened.

As horrific and evil as the events of October 7 were, I can't help but wonder if the Iranian regime is in fact much smarter than we give it credit for. That it's capable of such foresight. I've previously suspected that the Iranian regime chose to attack Israel solely due to its antisemitic prejudices, but now I'm seriously reconsidering that position, despite still being very open to it.

Oh, and let's not forget that Netanyahu more likely than not intentionally allowed the attack to happen for his own political reasons.

Taking all of the above into account, who is to blame for the events of October 7? Is it Iran? Is it Israel? Is it both?--Geopolitician (talk) 19:44, April 29, 2024 (EDT)

I'm not sure about any of this; what happens when both Saudi Arabia and Iran become members of BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization?

IMO, in about 12 months or so, both Zelensky and Netanyahu are going to have neighboring villas somewhere in Tel Aviv, Italy, Argentina or somewhere. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 20:10, April 29, 2024 (EDT)

Saudi Arabia and Iran both being members of the BRICS and the SCO won't solve anything between them. Just like China and India both being members hasn't solved anything between them. That being said, should we group Lai Ching-te in with Zelensky and Netanyahu?--Geopolitician (talk) 20:14, April 29, 2024 (EDT)

De-dollarization, and destruction of the US unipolar hegemon is the objective they are all committed to. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 20:19, April 29, 2024 (EDT)

Saudi Arabia would only back de-dollarization if Washington angered it enough. It has too much to lose otherwise. Which begs the question: has Washington angered it to that point?--Geopolitician (talk) 20:25, April 29, 2024 (EDT)

It already has - it accepts payment in yuan now. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 20:27, April 29, 2024 (EDT)

(ec) The argument these sanctioned countries - Russia, Iran, China, toss in Cuba & Venezuela, etc - have is, US sanctions are a violation of international law. Only the UN can impose global sanctions, and the US is/has abused its status in the international community by blackmailing its "allies" with threats of sanctions if they don't go along with the "rules based order". Heck, the US has even used covert military aggression and terrorist attacks against its own supposed "allies" in blowing up the Nordstream pipeline. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 20:27, April 29, 2024 (EDT)

Even under a pessimistic scenario for the US dollar, the USA will likely not lose its world reserve currency status until about 20 years from now (The UK lost its world reserve currency status in stages and over time). But the fact is that China's economy is shaky and Russia depends a lot on the selling of oil to China. China/Russia are key BRICS countries. On top of this, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is up by about 25% in the last 10+ years and the US dollar to Chinese yuan rate has skyrocketed in the last couple of years in favor of the US dollar. Conservative (talk) 11:11, May 2, 2024 (EDT)

Before replying, (or going into Hamas vision for an all Islamic state with no Israel at all as wel as Israel's olive branch approach pre Oct 7 to Gazans...), note, after a long post, (with all due respect, but) I'm surprise why Geopolotian omitted Arab-Palestinians leadership --the very orchestrators of the 3,000 perpetrators of animalistic atrocities (up-close butchery and mass rape under Allah Akhbar cries while laughing)-- from his conclusive question... Quiz question what "land disputes" does the Islamic Republic have or what borders does it "share" wwith Israel?. (Nor did I understand why he would doubt in Jan when this same IslamicFascist Republic-backed killed our 3 soldiers).Telling (talk)

Catholic Church goes all Catholic

Vatican II, your time is up. This is the AP: "‘A step back in time': America’s Catholic Church sees an immense shift toward the old ways." PeterKa (talk) 01:35, May 2, 2024 (EDT)

The marketer Seth Godin recommends going after the most ardent people segment of your market: How to get your ideas to spread | Seth Godin. In addition, he recommends being remarkable: Purple Cow, How to Be Remarkable, and the Secrets of Marketing in 2023: with Seth Godin. Like remarkable not in a gimmicky or hype way, but in a truly remarkable way.

But setting aside marketing, there is a trend towards traditionalism/fundamentalism in the world due to the failure of modernism and due to the higher birth rates of conservatives. The tradwife trend is an example of this. Take a look this growth: Tradwife - Google Trends. Conservative (talk) 01:59, May 2, 2024 (EDT)

I almost forgot something. As the growing conservative parts of Catholicism increases due to evangelism and higher birth rates (African Catholic church, etc.), they are going to want to have more say. Conservative (talk) 02:05, May 2, 2024 (EDT)
