RhoDeo 1409 'Precious' 8

Hello, beyond belief Kerry accused the Russian leader of acting “in 19th-century fashion by invading another country on completely trumped-up pretext”. “It’s an incredible act of aggression,” he told CBS. “It is really a stunning, wilful choice by President Putin to invade another country. Russia is in violation of the sovereignty of Ukraine. Russia is in violation of its international obligations.” What aggression, they haven't done anything yet. Staggering arrogance to hear the US lecture anybody on aggression... Thusfar not a shot has been fired by the Russians--how unamerican is that ?

It truly is hypocrisy beyond belief for the Americans, with all the form they have when it comes to invading foreign countries, should seek to isolate and demonise Russia for seeking to protect its legitimate national interests - a situation precipitated by the US/EU amateur nation-builders installing a Western puppet government with at its core selfdeclared neonazi's, parliamentary speaker Turchinov who seems to think he's president now, is asking for help against those damned Russians, easily forgetting 17 % of  Ukraine's population are Russians. Anyway this man may have temporarily changed his blackshirt and boots for a nice suit to make him appear palatable but under that thin veneer you'll find a raging neo-nazi nightmare. Those poor Ukranians they have no idea of the misery that awaits them, their country is broke, and all for the US to have another shot at further encircling Russia with their nuclear arsenal. I tell you the day will come Putin will send his submarines and nuke Washington from the map and demand immediate surrender or New York will follow. And what are those US army brass to do now ? The money men will scream surrender, the rednecks will scream yahoo and probably feel liberated....

Anyway all this is unimportant today as it's Oscar night where the little people congratulate themselves on how they managed to enjoy the limelight and twist reality to make it suit the American dream or should i say nightmare...go zombienation.



In 1981, the BBC again tackled "The Lord of the Rings", this time in a serial of twenty six 30-minute episodes.  This production was not a condensed version, although it does leave out a number of events. Still, it is about as faithful to the book as one could reasonably expect. The characterizations are excellent and music is very nicely done. The 26-part series was subsequently edited into 13 hour-long episodes broadcast from 17 July to 9 October 1982, restoring some dialogue originally cut for timing (since each hour-long episode is actually around 57 minutes, as opposed to 54 minutes for two half-hour episodes with overlaps and extra credits removed), rearranging some scenes for dramatic impact and adding linking narration and music cues. .  NJoy

In 1981 the UK radio station BBC Radio 4 broadcast a dramatisation of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings in 26 half-hour stereo installments. The radio series follows the plot of the original novel (revised 1951 version) very closely, except for the addition of The Tale Bearer, a narrator whose account of the story is often interrupted and embellished by the protagonist Bilbo Baggins in the role of secondary narrator. The 1981 trilogy was adapted for radio by Brian Sibley and Michael Bakewell.  It ws directed by Jane Morgan and Penny Leicester.  It is voiced by some very fine British actors including Ian Holm as Frodo, Michael Hordon as Gandalf and Peter Woodthorpe as Gollum among others.

 The re-edited version was released on both cassette tape and CD sets which also included the soundtrack album (noticeably taken from a vinyl copy). Incidentally, episode 8 of the series, The Voice of Saruman was labelled as The Voice of Sauron on the cassette & CD box sets.
