    Venceremos Celeon

    But it won't be one party system.....it'll be NO PARTY system.

    You see, I have studied all the systems in last century and none of them is perfect.
    Winston said that democracy is the best of the tested ones, so I came up with a solution...

    What do they all have in common?

    Parties!!!

    So I figured out we try something new here.


    On a more serious note, did you ever came across those posters (sold under the communication tower in Berlin) that I was asking about after our meeting in Belin?

    It's a small store inside of the tower base.
    They were under some sort of maintanance and were closed, but they had a set of aerial pictures of Berlin spanning from 1939 till 1950.

    A very good overview of city's dark history.

    12 o'clock news

    French MAS-36



    U.S. Grease gun



    M-1 .30 cal Carabine



    (Now I understand why it was issued to second eschelon non-combatants as a replacement for their side arms. It's lovely to handle, but when you compare it to other rifles it looks like a toy)

    And finally - a bit of quiz since it's not very known piece and also fairly rare.

    Who knows what this is?

    Ah, I knew it won't last long.

    Note to myself:
    Never underestimate American gun culture.
