ellauri131.html on line 960: And what of the true cynic's view, that the lesson of history is that bastards often prevail? That markets are in and of themselves rational, and sometimes emotional, but rarely ever moral? That an appropriate model for business is not an extended family but a poker game? The late genius John von Neumann was fascinated by poker, and his study of the choice making involved in the game led him to develop the foundations of game theory. Von Neumann was a peerless student of the principles of rational self-interest, and he was also an adviser to Presidents Truman and Eisenhower. When the Soviets showed signs of developing nuclear weapons, he recommended bombing them into oblivion. Game theory, he said, dictated it.

ellauri328.html on line 432: "Hoodwinking the Soviets" -näyttelyvideolla Howard selittää, kuinka hän ja hänen kollegansa käyttivät kaikkia tavanomaisia menetelmiä pyhien kirjoitusten salakuljetuksessa Venäjälle. Suunnitelma A sisälsi itse asiassa useita suunnitelmia: Raamattujen piilottaminen puskureihin, bensatankkeihin ja autojen renkaisiin; lahjoa rajavartijoita "huomaamaan" Raamattua; ja Raamattujen pakkaaminen miehistöineen risteilyaluksille ja lautoilla.
ellauri355.html on line 51: Lokakuu on ryssissä ollut vallankumouxellinen. In September and October 1993, a constitutional crisis arose in the Russian Federation from a conflict between President Boris Yeltsin and Russia's parliament. President Yeltsin performed a self-coup, dissolving parliament and instituting a presidential rule by decree system. The crisis ended with Yeltsin using military force to attack Moscow's House of Soviets and arrest the lawmakers. In Russia, the events are known as the October Coup (Russian: Октябрьский путч, romanized: Oktyabr'skiy putch) or Black October (Russian: Чëрный октябрь, romanized: Chyorniy Oktyabr').
ellauri378.html on line 651: Imprisoned in a brutal gulag known as Vorkuta, Mason befriends a former Red Army soldier named Viktor Reznov, who gives him the identities of their enemies: Dragovich, Colonel Lev Kravchenko, and ex-Nazi scientist Friedrich Steiner, and reveals his history with them. In October 1945, Reznov and Dimitri Petrenko were sent by Kravchenko and Dragovich to extract Steiner, who wished to defect, from a secret Nazi base on Baffin Island. Upon being rescued, Steiner provided the Soviets with the location of a disabled cargo ship carrying the chemical weapon he had originally developed for Adolf Hitler called Nova 6. However, Reznov and his men were betrayed by Dragovich, who wished to see the effects of the gas first-hand; Reznov was forced to watch Petrenko die horrifically, only being spared himself when British Commandos, interested in also acquiring Nova 6, attacked the cargo ship. Reznov detonated the V-2 rockets onboard the ship during his escape to prevent anyone from using the weapon, destroying it and Nova 6, only to be captured by the Soviets and imprisoned in Vorkuta. The Soviets later recreated Nova 6 with the help of a mad British scientist, Daniel Clarke.

ellauri425.html on line 478: “There weren’t many ideological discussions during these negotiations,” said Marc Winer, 43, a native of Nashua, N.H., who is general director of the Moscow outlet. “The Soviets understood that the food was going to move very efficiently from the field to the mouth. That is more important to them right now than almost anything else.”
ellauri434.html on line 127: The first very abridged and censored version saw the light only in 1967, more than 25 years after the author’s death. The full version, however, was published abroad and was also spread illegally among Soviets via ‘samizdat’, aka self-published copies. They differ like the competing accounts of Jesu life. Äänikirjaa ei voi edes verbatim seurata painetusta textistä.
ellauri464.html on line 189: Ilyin’s view was much more that of Dostoyevsky’s Grand Inquisitor in The Brothers Karamazov, who argues that men do not want freedom but bread and that the silverbacks must shoulder the burden of their freedom from them. Like Berdyaev, Ilyin was shipped out of Russia on the “philosophy steamers,” and until his death in 1954, he was a useless voice of opposition to the Soviets.
ellauri468.html on line 120: Bernard Werber souhaite approfondir le thème de la vie après la mort. Planète BD estime que la trilogie des bandes dessinées suicidale Exit était décevante. En 1996 sort La Révolution des fourmis. Super décevant elle aussi. Dans la plupart de ses romans, Bernard Werber utilise la même forme de construction, alternant des articles informatifs d’encyclopédie et deux ou trois fils narratifs. On retrouve des personnages comme Edmond Wells à la fois dans la trilogie des Fourmis et dans L'Empire des anges, mais également des thèmes récurrents, comme « l’Arbre des possibles » d’Isidore Katzenberg. Whoa!? Is he related to Katzenjammer? Were Katzenjammer kids Jewish? No German immigrants. Bernard Werber est membre d'honneur de l'Institut de recherche sur les expériences extraordinaires (INREES), une association ayant pour vocation la sensibilisation des professionnels en santé mentale, des médecins et des soignants en général, aux expériences extraordinaires ou inhabituelles. Bernard Werber est l'un des auteurs français les plus lus dans le monde. Il est particulièrement populaire en Corée du Sud. Son style bascule dans le simplisme et les clichés trop souvent. « Ce livre a été écrit après l'échec des Thanatonautes. L'idée était de faire un manuel pour faire la prochaine révolution. Une révolution qui ne fait pas couler le sang mais qui utilise Internet. Pour que les idées soient jugées sur leurs valeurs et non sur l'apparence ou le statut de celui qui les émet. Les fourmis ont un système où les idées circulent de manière fluide. Internet aussi. Donc, j'ai pensé : si la révolution communiste c'est « les soviets plus l'électricité », La Révolution des fourmis c'est « les individus plus Internet ». Quelle connerie. L'internet n'est pas du tout different du reste des pheromones humains.
ellauri468.html on line 343: USSR was isolated and sanctioned since its very establishment. IIRC there were always major sanctions on it, never lifted till its collapse (yes, there was some major trade during Great Depression, but only because of desperate situation of western economics. Once Depression was gone, Soviets were heavily isolated again).
ellauri468.html on line 447: Midwinter is using his agency and private army to start an uprising in Latvia, at the time a part of the USSR, to end Communism in the Eastern bloc and tip the balance of the Cold War in favour of the West. After discovering this and also the fact that a package Newbegin wants delivered from England to Finland contains virus-contaminated eggs, stolen from a British research institute, the protagonist treks from Finland through Riga, Leningrad, New York City, Texas and back to London. He infiltrates Midwinter's organization, braving unforgiving environments, violence and shifting loyalties, eventually to return to the Baltic to stop the virus from falling into the hands of the Soviets and the madman billionaire and protect British reputations in the process.
ellauri471.html on line 264: Kim Philby was the most famous member of the Cambridge Five, a group of educated men who spied for the Soviets for decades. He was loyal to the only society he ever believed in. 'And I have always accepted that,' says his son John firmly. John Philby, the eldest son of Soviet spy Kim Philby, who was a double agent and the notorious Third Man in the Cambridge spy ring of the 1930s, died in England 2009.

ellauri471.html on line 357: "I Speak For The Silent Prisoners Of The Soviets" first published in English in 1935, is a firsthand account of the horrors of the early Soviet Gulag system under Stalin's regime. The book describes the author's experiences as a fishy non-party expert in the Soviet fishing industry, his arrest, imprisonment by the GPU (the Soviet secret police), and forced labor in the Solovetzki Islands concentration camp. The book was one of the first detailed accounts of the Gulag system published in the West by an escapee. Whittaker Chambers, a former Soviet spy who defected, mentioned this book in his own memoir, Witness, as a key text that influenced his decision to turn against the Soviets. His wife, Tatiana Tchernavina, also published a book about their dramatic escape to Finland, titled Escape from the Soviets, providing a complementary perspective on their ordeal.
xxx/ellauri091.html on line 607: Kudos to Lithuania for telling the Soviets to shove it back in 1990 and starting the breakup of that union. It’s also believed that Lithuanian culture survived the Iron Curtain thanks to secret home schools and alternative history texts, which makes its people sound really awesome. Isn't this just what we do? We are super-jealous of its surprisingly good basketball team.
xxx/ellauri148.html on line 126: Other developed nations [who? were there any?], being more dependent on OPEC oil, took more seriously the threat of an Arab oil embargo and trade boycott, and had stopped supplying Israel with munitions. As a result, Israel was totally dependent on the United States for military resupply, and particularly sensitive to anything that might endanger that relationship. After Meir had made her decision, at 10:15 am, she met with American ambassador Kenneth Keating in order to inform the United States that Israel did not intend to preemptively start a war. It would be just an accident. An electronic telegram with Keating's report on the meeting was sent to the United States at 16:33 GMT (6:33 pm local time). A message arrived later from United States Secretary of State Henry Kissinger saying, "Don't preempt." At the same time, Kissinger also urged the Soviets to use their influence to prevent war, contacted Egypt with Israel's message of non-preemption, and sent messages to other Arab governments to enlist their help on the side of moderation. These late efforts were futile. According to Henry Kissinger, had Israel struck first, it would not have received "so much as a nail".
xxx/ellauri148.html on line 128: The Soviets started an airlift of arms to Syria and Egypt. The American global interest was to prove that Soviet arms could not dictate the outcome of the fighting, by supplying Israel. Kenneth Pollack is a Jew so I would not trust his accounts of the war events. Saad el Shazly was on the other side, so hardly more trustworthy as a witness. Pientä epäselvyyttä oliko Egyptin 3. armeijakunta oikeasti aivan motissa, vai oliko mukana ehkä Kissingerin juonittelua, eze saisi kunnian Israelin pysäytyxestä ja tällä lailla Egyptin lipsumaan jenkkipuolelle. Mikä sitten ajan kanssa onnistuikin.
xxx/ellauri380.html on line 486: Actually, Arabs, Brezhnevian soviets and modern Western conservatives have a great deal in common. They're all obsessed with a distant yet glorious past which they feel entitles them to respect merely for who they are, regardless of how little they've achieved recently. They have the same religious intolerance, the same contempt for the life of the mind. They all have the same vicious response when thwarted, and the same sense that they're losing the greater battle and are, willingly or not, on their way out the door.
