Note - This demonstrates that ANYTHING is now possible. Probably the greatest mass murderer in human history, 'Uncle Joe' Stalin, is now cited as a 'role model' for Russian President Putin. Uncle Joe is commonly credited with the deaths of 50+ million humans, including the slaughter in the Ukraine in the 30's which left 20-30 million dead. Supporters of his 'rehabilitation' are calling him the 'most gifted politician of the 20th century.' Yes, a marvelous 'role model' for President Putin who recently reinstalled the Soviet National Anthem... Strange days, indeed.
 
 
 
TBILISI (Reuters) - Georgia's Communists have voted to ''rehabilitate'' fellow countryman Josef Stalin, and say they believe the disgraced Soviet dictator is a role model for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
 
Party chiefs say Putin's admiration is evident in his decision to restore the stirring Soviet-era tune, personally approved by Stalin, as Russia's new national anthem.
 
The symbolic vote to clear the name of Stalin -- who ordered the deaths of millions -- came six days after his birthday, when a few hundred devoted Stalinists marched through his hometown of Gori, 40 miles west of Tbilisi, in an annual ritual.
 
``We made this decision as it was our duty toward the most gifted politician of the 20th century,'' Panteleimon Giorgadze, the party leader, told Reuters.
 
After Stalin died, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev purged the dictator from history books and dismantled his monuments throughout the Soviet Union. But in his native Georgia, Stalin remained a cult figure for many.

Was Orwell absolutely dead-on, or what?? From the whiney "I was just followink orders!" cop-out of those sociopathic monsters at the end of the holocaust to THIS... anything is possible, if it means maintaining status quo and the next generation completely blind to the truth. One of the greatest butchers of human history, a true antichrist, honored and historically redeemed by the ever swaying, non-asbsolutes "conditional ethics" of secular stinking humanism, Soviet-style.

If you haven't "activated" your "prayer capsule" as Gabriel says in that old Genesis classic "Supper's Ready," you'd better now!

"There were feelings on our faces, while our faces took a rest ... and even though I'm feeling good, something tells me I'd better activate my prayer capsule..." (Genesis/Foxtrot/Supper's Ready)
