'For centuries they have stuffed their bellies with human flesh, and their pockets with money. The vampire ball must end', or however you say that in Russian, was Putin's last comment regarding rapprochement with the West. Except for the vampires, the West wholeheartedly agrees. Many of us yet stubbornly refuse to believe we are ruled by vampires, but more than a third of us already do, and a third are teetering on the edge of cognitive dissonance and the belief that lies below it. The rest aren't worth comment.

A bit of leadership will go a long way very soon in America.

Thanks!
