Volga Bulgars? They used to be a big deal in those parts

Looking back on how so many Nazi war criminals escaped through ODESSA to South America looking to create a "Fourth Reich", and the Japanese holdouts, I wondered. What if the war in the Pacific ended differently, say with Operation Olympic bogging down the Allies and leaving some Pacific Japanese...

"Looks like we're going to Argentina ahead of schedule!"

I would like to say despotism comes in many forms and it existed in equal measure in both hemispheres in ancient and medieval times. Caligula slept with the senator's wives and Qin Huangdi had the harsh punishments of Legalism. So too did we have stuff in medieval Europe like Joan of Arc's...

It was the dead of winter and this place is supposed to be full of Norwegian and Swedish people that think they're Vikings...

Also "National Homeland One" the Bantustan where the 700 Club Moral Majority dictatorship of Gilead in the Handmaid's Tale deports (or maybe massacres) all African American people is in North Dakota.

In "Joe Steele" Immigrant Stalin in Disguise sends opponents to North Dakota, which is next door.

I'm in California dealing with megadrought and my stuff getting stolen and my family and ex girlfriend from NJ giving me a hard time. So, The Grapes of Wrath has new meaning for me. "...And in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are...

I had a Chilean friend in the punk scene in NJ. He ended up supporting this fascist leaning hardline vegan group that I didn't get along with and I compared him to a Pinochet supporter and it did not go over well. Point is, its a heated issue with Chilean people and it has differing viewpoints...
