As far as I can see, Chechens wrongly perform Islamic rules, - they cut their pricks insufficiently. It looks that Russians corrected their mistakes
Yo Antonio, 
 
Welcome to the 21st Century where garbage like this still occurs.  Are ya proud of these boys?  Real tuff highly trained soldiers you defend.  I just hope this isn't the norm.

Igor, 
 
You mentioned in an earlier post that the US was "looking for trouble"?  Well you might want to reconsider your position on this one.  Even the  Russians want to stop "smuggling".  Don't you agree?  I wonder what the Iraqi Naval Officer was doing on board?  Training???  LOL

        Chechen refuse to bow to tyranny 
 
        By ERIC MARGOLIS  
 
        From the burning ruins of Grozny came what may be a final, 
        heartbreaking message from its Chechen defenders: "At a time 
        when the world has left us entirely, we ask Muslims around the 
        world not to forget the ordeal of their brothers in Chechnya 
        fighting the jihad (holy war) against Russian oppression." 
 
        Look at Grozny and you see a second Warsaw Ghetto. Like the 
        valiant Jewish defenders who held off the might of the Nazi SS, 
        Chechens, another forgotten people facing extermination, are 
        fighting to the death against impossible odds. 
 
        I've been a combat soldier and have covered 12 high-intensity 
        wars from the front, but I have never seen anything that equals 
        the heroism and boundless courage of the Chechen mujahedin. 
 
        For the past four months, 5,000 lightly-armed Chechen warriors 
        fighting on flat, open terrain that favours air, armour and 
        artillery, have held off 160,000 Russian troops, backed by 
        regiments of heavy guns and rockets, helicopter gunships, 
        ground attack aircraft, and thousands of tanks and armoured 
        vehicles. 
 
        Chechen mujahedin, most without any formal military training, 
        have no heavy weapons and are chronically short of radios, 
        anti-tank rockets and even small-arms ammunition. There is 
        almost no medicine or morphine for their wounded, and no 
        shelter from massive Russian bombardment that includes banned 
        fuel-air explosives, toxic gas and napalm. 
 
        Grozny -- which Russian generals vowed to storm by early 
        December, and President Vladimir Putin promised to take by New 
        Year's -- still holds out at this writing. 
 
        Mujahedin are defending every ruined building and mined street 
        while some 40,000 civilians cower in cellars under non-stop 
        Russian shelling. 
 
        Still, overwhelming Russian numbers and firepower must 
        eventually prevail. Losses are high on both sides -- about one 
        Chechen for every four Russians. 
 
        Renowned Chechen field commanders, sheiks Shamil Basayev and 
        Ibn al-Khattab, admit Grozny has no strategic value, but 
        insist: "We want to prove to the world and the Russians that 
        despite the size, power or technology of any enemy, there is no 
        way they could defeat the people of belief, principal and 
        land." Brave words from the world's bravest people. 
 
        In the first Chechen war, 1994-96, Russia killed 100,000 
        Chechen civilians, razed much of the small country, and, in an 
        act of monumental terrorism, scattered 17 million 
        anti-personnel land mines across the tiny nation. 
 
        Russia was driven from Chechnya in 1996, but its hardliners 
        vowed to "exterminate the Chechen bandits." 
 
        Their man Putin's first act as president was to declare a 
        crusade -- blessed by the Russian Orthodox Church -- against 
        Chechnya.  Moscow demanded revenge for 1996 and for defeat at 
        the hands of Muslim mujahedin in Afghanistan. 
 
        While Russian troops fought their way into Grozny, elite 
        Russian forces were pushing into the southern mountains. 
 
        Chechen units are battling ferociously, under intense shelling 
        and bombing, to defend the strategic Shatoi and Vedeno gorges. 
        Outnumbered 20-1, the Chechens' defence of mountain passes 
        vividly recalls the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae. 
 
        At least the mountainous terrain gives the mujahedin some 
        cover; in the flat, barren north, they can only move at night. 
 
        The Clinton administration, which is largely financing Russia's 
        genocide in Chechnya, supplied Russian attack helicopters with 
        advanced U.S. night-vision devices -- "to combat terrorism," 
        says the White House. 
 
        If the West's response to Russia's Mongol-like behaviour in 
        Chechnya has been shameful and hypocritical, the Islamic 
        world's reaction is even more disgraceful. 
 
        Important Muslim nations -- like Egypt, Malaysia, and Iran -- 
        are negotiating arms and aircraft deals with Russia. No Muslim 
        state has dared challenge Russian brutality or anti-Muslim 
        racism. 
 
        The only nations to recognize Chechnya's declaration of 
        independence from Russia are brave little Estonia and 
        Afghanistan, both of which know full well the terror of Russian 
        occupation. 
 
        Those who observe a monstrous crime and do nothing share guilt 
        for it. We begin the 21st century watching silently as a 
        brutish Russia, which knows neither shame nor mercy, crushes 
        the life out of a tiny but heroic people who refuse to bend 
        their knees to Moscow's tyranny.

        THE COUP D'ETAT IN MOSCOW ANOINTED BY CHECHEN BLOOD 
 
        PARIS - A month ago, this column predicted that Russian 
        hardliners were on  the verge  of seizing total  power in a 
        `stealthy coup.' Twenty-six days  later, President Boris 
        Yeltsin  stunned the world by resigning  and handing over power 
        to  a junta of KGB `Chekists' and senior  generals led  by 
        former spy and  now Acting President, Vladimir Putin. 
 
        Yeltsin agreed  to resign  in return for immunity  for himself 
        and his  family from  prosecution for  massive corruption. The 
        era of Weimar  Russia  was  ended,  and  the  west's  $100 
        billion  plus investment  in Yeltsin's  `democratic  Russia' a 
        total loss.  The Clinton Administration and its media backers 
        tried to cover up the magnitude of this catastrophe by echoing 
        Russian propaganda claims that  Putin and  his cronies  were 
        `clean;'  `youthful reformers;' `covert    democrats,' 
        and    crusaders   against    terrorism. 
 
        Far from  reform, what we are  seeing in Moscow is  the seizure 
        of political and, increasingly,  economic power by younger 
        generation of   KGB  officers,   like  Putin,   from  the 
        old   First  Chief Directorate(Foreign  Intelligence). Forget 
        the  beetle-browed KGB thugs  of  the  1950's.   These  80's 
        and  90's  vintage  agents, particularly  those  from  KGB 
        Lines  PR  and  X, are  hard-edged, sophisticated, worldly 
        professionals. 
 
        Putin  and  his  junta gained  power  by  whipping up 
        traditional Russian  racial  and religious  hatred  for  Muslim 
        Chechen,  then launching  a  merciless  campaign  to 
        exterminate  the  Caucasian rebels. Moscow,  in the usual 
        style  of international malefactors, used  the  Christmas/New 
        Year  holidays  to  mask  its  attempted storming of  the 
        Chechen capital, Grozny,  and laying waste to the rest of the 
        tiny republic of 1.5 million people. 
 
        The valiant Chechen mujihadin, however, refused to surrender. 
        Some 1,500 Chechen  fighters dug into the  ruins of Grozny have 
        managed to   defend  the   city   against  ferocious 
        assaults  of   some 60,000-80,000 Russian troops for  the past 
        month. Russian generals claimed the would conquer Grozny two 
        weeks ago. Russian forces are mercilessly pounding  the city to 
        rubble  with massed batteries of heavy  artillery and  heavy 
        rocket launchers,  as well  as carpet bombing  and  strikes 
        by  ground-attack aircraft  and  helicopter gunships.  Forty 
        thousand  Chechen  civilians are  trapped in  the city, 
        cowering  in   shelters   with  little   food  or   water. 
 
        Russia   is  violating   all   norms  of   warfare  and 
        numerous international  conventions by  making  extensive use 
        of fuel  air explosive delivered by aircraft and rockets. These 
        weapons release a fine  mist of explosive  fuel over a target, 
        then detonate. The resulting  massive explosions  are  of 
        enormous  destructive power second only  to tactical nuclear 
        weapons.  All of the oxygen under the  blast zone's 
        football-filed  sized footprint  is burned  up, sucking  the 
        air  out   of  the  lungs  of  victims.  Devastating 
        overpressure ruptures  internal organs and  kill anyone 
        sheltering in basements or bunkers. 
 
        Grozny and most other  Chechen towns have been blasted to ruins 
        by fuel air  and conventional explosives. The  Russians have 
        showered tens of thousands of anti-personnel mines in the 
        mountainous south in an effort to  seal the border with 
        Georgia. Foreign journalists are being  kept out  of the war 
        zone lest they  report details of Russia's  latest slaughter 
        of the  rebellious Chechen.  Even this writer has received a 
        steady stream of organized threatening email from Russia. 
        Almost all news on  the conflict comes from Moscow's propaganda 
        organs  who keep repeating the  mantra that Chechen are 
        `Islamic terrorists' – where have we heard this before - 
        who must be `cleansed.' 
 
        Ironically, while the US  wrung its hands over the possible 
        threat of terrorism during  millenium celebrations, Russia was 
        committing one of  the worst  acts of international  terrorism 
        of our  era in Chechnya. Washington  issued a few tut-tut's 
        over Russia's brutal actions, but continued to  back Russia 
        with diplomatic support and billions of cash. 
 
        As  Russian  poured  shells  on the  Chechen  for  daring to 
        seek independence from  300 year's  of brutal colonial  rule by 
        Moscow, President Bill Clinton actually described Russia's 
        siege of Grozny a `liberation.' The same  Clinton who hailed 
        Yeltsin as `a Russian Abraham Lincoln' after Russian forces 
        massacred 100,000 Chechen in 1994-1996. 
 
        Why  this nauseating  sycophancy? Because  Clinton agreed  to 
        give Moscow a free hand in Chechnya in exchange for Moscow 
        allowing the US to  keep bashing away at  Iraq. Clinton's key 
        financial backers want  Iraq   destroyed.  Chechen  will  pay 
        the  price  for  the ex-president's political and financial 
        future. 
 
        Meanwhile, bands  of fierce  Chechen fighters continue  one of 
        our era's most heroic struggles.  The courage of these mountain 
        men is almost beyond  comprehension. They are  lightly armed, 
        surrounded, low on munitions and  supplies, hopelessly 
        outnumbered 100 to one, under  constant  bombardment,  and 
        forgotten.  Their  voice  goes unheard   beneath  a   barrage 
        of  Russian   disinformation  and propaganda, echoed by 
        so-called `counter-terrorism' experts in the western  media, 
        who  assure  us  Chechen are  nothing  more  than dangerous 
        Islamic terrorists and kidnappers. 
 
        A handful  of fighters  from Ukraine, Jordan, and  the Baltic 
        have come  to help;  otherwise, the  world has  left the 
        Chechen  to be ground  into bloody  pulp  by Russia's  killing 
        machine  – a crime largely financed by US and western 
        dollars. 
 
        Clinton has  hailed the  Putin regime as  `new, democratic 
        Russian leaders.'  In  fact, the  Chekists  and generals  now 
        running  the Kremlin look  very much  like the old, brutal 
        Soviet Russia, only this  time   less  ideological  and   more 
        efficiently  ruthless.

GOT TO LOVE AMERICANS! 
 
This is the transcript of an ACTUAL radio conversation of a U.S. naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in Oct., 1995. (Radio conversation released by Chief of Naval Ops 10/10/95.) 
 
Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision. 
 
Canadians: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision. 
 
Americans: This is the Captain of a U.S. Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course. 
 
Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.  
 
Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER U.S.S. LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST 
SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP. 
 
Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.
To PONDER: 
I read your garbage and have to tell you that I really can not understand your mentality. I can not believe that you do not , that the rest of the world is not so stupid and backward like your friends or your habitat. 
You are trying to convince us that this two articles were written by Jewish author (Eric MARGOLIS)!!!! 
Also you could use names such as Levy, or Kohan, or Dershowitz...but you do not get that they would never call Basayev or Khattab as “sheiks Shamil Basayev and Ibn al-Khattab”,they would never criticize Clinton’s Administration, they never call MUSLIM Chechens as ” world's bravest people”.  
Your stuff is plain camelshit, so get back under your camel and suck his balls with “brave little Estonianwhore”

No proof whatsoever has been presented to substantiate Chechen terrorists' and Western propaganda organs' allegations of atrocities committed by Russian troops.  All that has been presented so far is the claims of the Chechens, but no investigation has been made to see if the injuries and deaths sustained by residents of Chechnya were in fact committed by Chechen Mohammedan terrorists.  It is a well-known pattern of Mohammedans to kill their own people and blame the murders on their opponents.  The Bosnian Mohammedans and the Azerbaijanis come to mind. 
 
It is also a well-known quality of Americans to rush to judgement.  Hypocrisy is another quality of Americans that comes to mind. 
 
I recall the days when Saddam Husein was gassing Kurds in the late eighties.  Back then the Americans didn't care about the Kurds.  But during the U.S./Iraq undeclared war the Americans pretended to be such bleeding hearts for the Iraqi Kurds and Shiites.  And America claims to be such bleeding hearts for the Palestinians, yet turned a blind eye when the Kuwaitis were persecuting them after the war. 
Americans claim to be such humanitarians, but then turn a blind eye to the East Timorese being butchered by America's ally Indonesia.  America and the UN set up the East Timorese to be murdered by holding a phony independence referendum that the Americans knew would be approved overwhelmingly by the East Timorese people and thus that the people would be subsequently attacked by the genocidal Mohammedan Indonesian army and state-supported paramilitary groups.  It was the American plan all along to wipe out the Christians of East Timor and in all of Indonesia, as everywhere else in the world.  Where are the B-2s and the B-52s to bomb Jakarta?  Where are the Hague war-crime tribunals to indict Indonesian government officials?  Where is the UN economic sanctions and arms blockades against Indonesia?  Where are the U.S. newspaper cartoons depicting the Indonesian president as Adolf Hitler?  How about the savage Chinese persecution of Catholics?  How about the Armenian Genocide at the hands of America's allies the Turks?  Why doesn't the U.S. at least complain to the Turks when they destroy ancient Armenian or Byzantine churches?  We know why! 
 
 
It seems that the only time the U.S. regime or American people get upset is when Jews or Muslims are getting what they rightfully deserve, but when Christians are unjustly attacked by Jews and Muslims, America is silent.  
 
The U.S. denies the Armenian Genocide and then fabricates the Jewish Hoaxacaust.  The  U.S. fabricates tales of ethnic cleansing by Serbs against Bosnian and Kosovo Mohammedans and then inflicts real ethnic cleansing and genocide on the Serbs, simply because they are Orthodox Christians.  
 
America has no moral high ground from which to preach about human rights to anybody.  Especially since America condones, promotes, and profits from the murder of 1.5 million preborn babies in U.S.-occupied territory alone, to say nothing of all the poor third world countries where the U.S. and U.N. are ramming their contraception devices and abortion chambers down the peoples' throats. 
 
May the Lord Jesus Christ smash and  destroy American power and influence, utterly wiping it out - not leaving one stone upon another! 
 
In the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: "Our Father, Who art in Heaven, Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven!" Amen.

If you think you are refering to me, you are mistaken.  I do not give a hang about the U.S. constitution, which was a social contract between the governor and the governed, which the U.S. regime had breached even before the ink was dry.  In fact, the U.S. regime being the snake that it is, never had any intention of keeping its end of the contract.  And the amazing thing is that the American sheeple are such mentally retarded suckers that they see nothing wrong with one party of the contract - the governer - making himself (the  U.S. supreme kangaroo) the sole interpreter of the contract.  Where is it written in the U.S. constitution that the "Supreme Court" is the sole legitimate interpreter of the constitution?   
 
In fact, there is no such thing as a "Constitutional Right."  All the Rights that man has, are received from God.  The U.S. constitution does not confer rights to the people, but confers powers to the government and limits and restrains the governent from infringing on the rights that the people already possess independent of any constitution or government.  But in believing that the constitution confers rights, the American sheeple have consented to surrendering their God-given rights and accepting Masonic-regime-bestowed privileges instead - privileges which the Masonic regime can take away at will, just as the Communist regimes are more widely recognized to do. 
 
Therefore Bones, or is it Skull and Bones, it is actually you, not me, who hides behind the 1st amendment.  I merely mentioned it in the first place in order to expose American hypocrisy.  As for my freedom to speak the truth, that comes from God, but nobody has any right to speak lies, and as the 1st Amendment is used to protect pornography and blashemous "art", it is the wicked who seek its protection, but the just know that they need to protect themselves from the U.S. regime, which is the number one criminal in the world.  Even the ayatolla Khomeini  had enough brains to recognize the U.S. regime as the Great Satan.  Yet most Americans don't even possess half the intelligence of Mohammedan infidels! 
 
> Just remember, no one is keeping you here.  
 
The U.S. regime has done everything it could to wipe us out, but we continue to hang on and persevere. 
 
>Now I understand the mentality I was dealing  
>with.  
 
I don't think you have yet even understood your own mentality.

I am writing this in response to many things that have happened to me recently and to my family. I saw the post below this message that stated Gemstone is lackluster and saw the 'child' that wrote it. This has been a concern of mine for a long time now. 
 
I am a father of 2 children. Both of my children are my step-kids (9 and 13 years old respectively). I love them and believe inside my heart they are my own children and have raised them for so long now. My oldest son Kyle, is extremely mature for his age. He grasps the concepts of language well and can use imagery and description in his writing as if he were a creative writer of 23 years old. Sometimes, I myself, would forget how old he truly is. 
Anyways, my son enjoyed watching me play gemstone and grasped the fundamentals of hunting/combat/role-playing and is a very good kid at heart. I would allow him to help me in stretches of hunting if I were too tired and after awhile, I began to trust him with playing gemstone. I allowed him very minimal use to a character that I kept constant logs of and would 'test' his responsibility every now and then over time. He did well. He gave to the realms and didn't take the perspective out of it just being a game. My wife and I decided it was safe for him because he handled the issues we put in front of him and he knew things he could not do. He could not verbally abuse someone, harrass someone, kill someone, go to a private inn, or consistently bother someone by hindering them with tiresome questions that I could answer for him. He followed this to the tee, or so it seemed. 
I first found out that he had a friend that was an empath that he often spoke fond of. She had healed him on many occassions and I knew her as well. I also knew she was over 40 years of age in real life and that she also kept a good perspective of what was real and not real in the world of gemstone. I turned out to be very wrong. I found a deleted log in the recycle bin a month or so later after my son would talk about her. He didn't overly sound lovestruck and kept most of his opinions to the 'we are good friends now' aspect. The log I found showed that he had gone to the silvergate inn with this empath and performed many explicit sexual maneuvers with her as well as had used so much profanity that every other line was filled with multiple vulgar uses in extreme detail. No warnings were posted on him because it is a private room. However, the empath that I knew, was doing most of the text writing in the log and was leading him where I felt he might not know what was going on or what he should do because he was inexperienced in the matter entirely. My wife and I were aghast. We spoke with the empath later on and told her about our son's age and she cried for a long time. The empath left the realms and to this day, has not returned. I lost a good friend because of the incident, and the worst is still to come. My son it seems was having trouble in school because he felt that the 'kids' there were very immature compared to his GS friends. We communicate very well with him and he just decided to keep us out of the light of his problems. My son tells me every bad thing he does, from when he first tried a drink, to smoking..etc. We have a great bond he and I. Kyle decided to not have friends at school but would make believe he did have friends, girls mostly. He enjoyed the power of being a sorcerer and how he could be someone he was not. He showed no signs of anything harshly wrong, yet he seemed to become more distant to me and then I started to worry. 
When I found the log concerning the empath, I banned him from GS permanately. I was upset at myself more than him, but explained to him why I had to do so. I changed my passwords and hid them. He found out where I hid them a month later and I caught him online at 3 a.m in the morning. On this particular log, he had killed someone he did not like and had said some cruel things. He was extremely angry and so I erased all passwords, quit playing for more than two weeks to sit down with my son and find out what was going on with him. He became sad ..extremely depressed. 
Five months ago my son Kyle, attempted suicide. I stopped him before he could do any great harm to himself and took him to the hospital. He is now in a permanant residential hospital and has been there now for 5 months. My wife and I blame ourselves each day and I managed to stay in the realms to help other children that I find wandering about. I didn't want to see them go through what my son went through. My son was diagnosed with having schizoid-effective bi-polar disorder with bouts of psychotic depression associated with delusions of grandieur. He wants to be something he is not. He enjoys the power he got from the game and the love he could not have in real life with a girl/woman. He built himself up high and when I took that away from him, he saw no reason to live. I am to blame. Even though gemstone has their fault and responsibility in the matter, I consider it slight compared to what I as a parent am responsible for. I have been writing feedback for weeks now with no reply on taking the game to an over-18 area. 
During my 5 year stint with gemstone, I have seen families, marriages, and now children suffer from addiction and delusions. Recently, a good friend (whom I will not name)that is 16 years old attempted suicide as well. Luckily, everything is going okay with him although he still plays the game. 
If any parents read this, please don't allow yourselves to make the same mistake I did. Our children are very important, and while they seem mature to handle some situations, this one is not an easy one for many folks to handle. My son is expected to come home in October sometime, and I'll make up the time as I can. I hope he can forgive me for what I did, and I hope that we pick up on a positive start. 
If Simutronics is reading this, you can help by not allowing children under the age of 18 to play this mature game. Post a warning for parents to see in the application form, and even send an email or official letter explaining that this is a mature setting. It is not fantasia and it is not the never ending story. It is a vivid imagery and can become a real environment with the closed rooms scenario. The letter from Eric Slick should be taken out and in my opinion destroyed. Anyone who believes that their grammar is getting better in a world filled with okies, massies, spellies, juggies, etc. and ye and kuld, and kuild and every other distortion of english is absurd. My son's report card showed a dramatic decrease in his language arts area and I have now combed through his old letters to his friends and found numerous usages of ye and thy and thou..etc. I have gone out on a limb expressing this personal matter and I hope that you (the reader) understand that this is a painful area to me and that I want to help other children out of what I have seen to be a harsh environment. 
Sincerely yours,. . . a father that made a mistake.
