And Gallier the Elder 🙂

“. The all-encompassing madness can hardly be stopped with rationality. ”

It seems like that because irrationality is reigning over us all- some realize it-some don’t
yes functioning brain, critical thinking, discernment etc.,

If you or Gallier 2 see something worthwhile, leave a link, I can run it through a translate and post it here.

Thank you for the well wishes- I’m tired this last little while (see my answer to Gallier the younger) It’s been a tough, tough row this past week– Things are looking up and once our grandson get’s here I’ll be thrilled.

Merry Christmas to you and yours that’s for both the Galliers
I think of you often- and always well 🙂
It’s going to be an interesting New Year. I’m afraid their will be much hardship 🙁

I read here regularly, almost daily, but rarely comment. The all-encompassing madness can hardly be stopped with rationality. Remains only irony, satire and cynicism as an antidote. But these stylistic forms are rarely understood anymore, because in order to understand them, one needs a functioning brain.
I am quite well informed about the situation on the Russian-Ukrainian front, as I read several well-informed wire channels on a daily basis (Strelkov aka Girkin, Erwan Castel, Rybar, Anti-Spiegel by Thomas Röper, Red October, Kompromat, and so on). I started learning Russian six years ago, and language learning for me is also immersion in the culture and way of thinking of people in the Russian world. And this worldview I like more than our now only materialistic consumerist Western “values” world. I read daily analysts, journalists, and dedicated bloggers in German, French, English and Russian). My best friend is deepl, he brings me the content from many foreign languages in German or French across, my two native languages. I wish you and your family and friends all the best, a Merry Christmas, and a less crazy 2023. Of course, these wishes also apply to all the dedicated protagonists on your site.

Sincerely Gallier the Elder

Congrats for the grandson. 1 is the best age, tears me up everytime I watch a video of my son at that age.
For my wifes uncle I’m sure it’s the vaccine. I don’t know if he got the jabs but seeing how Canada was in the lead of the worst Covid dictatures (alongside with the antipodian) I cannot imagine that he didn’t vaccinate.

This country is nuttier than ever. And the continuing covid insanity is well insane!!
Glad Gallier1 is good too.
Today our grandson is 1. I can hardly believe it. Already!
Sorry about the uncle’s passing 🙁
Have you done any reading into the continuing excess death counts? The jab has to have a role in that situation. As well as the lockdowns. And the insane level of fear mongering- so unhealthy

Hi Penny, yeah nothing big has changed here. The children are growing, the country gets nuttier every day. Gallier is fine even if we don’t meet often, we stay in permanent contact on FB. Did the covid insanity get better in Canada, or is it still as crazy as it was? Btw, the uncle of my wife died last month suddenly at age 51, an ex-professional boxer, in Ottawa. I suppose it’s probably the clot shot but we weren’t in contact for years now.

gallier2!
How are you? How is Gallier1?
How are things in your part of the world?!
Do share some info you feel appropriate to share.
I’ve thought of you both, wondering what things are like for you and yours..
