I find it amusing England and the EU set out to collapse Russia, but they are now the ones collapsing.

All the other Western nations allied against Russia ( 44) need to take heed.

In Jane Austin's last novel Persuasion, the protagonist Anne Elliot is in love with Capt. Wentworth, but is convinced he is no longer available, so she thinks of marrying her first cousin "Mr. Elliot." She eventually decides against it, not because he is her first cousin, but because he is a scam artist. (Of course she ends up with Wentworth.) Also, Edvard Grieg married his first cousin, and they were happily together for I think about 20 years before he died. They had one miscarriage, no born children.

Every one reading these comments probably has at least one first cousin in their last 100 family generations.

Not recommended.

But, not exactly rare, either.

Sound like Rosie O’Donnell might still have a chance at “love.” I knew there was a reason why she took off to Ireland.

Why not allow child marriages too? Marrying girls barely into puberty is a thing in many Muslim countries.

Elite bloodlines have intermarried for centuries - to keep wealth “in the family.”

These are the families that control wealth in the trillions, maintaining covert networks of power.

The smart families did so in a careful manner, to avoid producing genetic abnormalities.

The truly evil ones kept it close, and those elite lines suffered the physical and mental affects of staying “pure.”

The world is ruled by psychopaths and pedophiles.

Allow them to marry on condition that they both agree to sterilization. Adoption is encouraged if they want children.

The UK is imploding from within.

"Figures show that up to 20 per cent of the children treated for congenital problems in cities such as Sheffield, Glasgow and Birmingham are of Pakistani descent, compared with 4 per cent or lower in the wider population – and treating these problems costs the NHS billions.

The monarchy of England as well as the Rothschild family are known for their interbreeding. It keeps the money in the family.

This is what you get when you allow royals who marry their own first cousins to rule you for generations before it’s too late ...

If first cousin matrimony is good, this logic would indicate mother and son, or father and daughter would be even better!

Political correctness insanity has taken over the NHS.

Criminal conviction
In 1999, Japanese fraud investigators accused Armstrong of collecting money from Japanese investors, improperly commingling these funds with funds from other investors, and using the fresh money to cover losses he had incurred while trading.[13] United States prosecutors called it a three-billion-dollar Ponzi scheme.[14] Allegedly assisting Armstrong in his scheme was the Republic New York Corporation, which produced false account statements to reassure Armstrong’s investors. In 2001, the bank agreed to pay US$606 million as restitution for its part in the scandal.[14]

Armstrong was indicted in 1999 and ordered by Judge Richard Owen to turn over fifteen million dollars in gold bars and antiquities bought with the fund’s money; the list included bronze helmets and a bust of Julius Caesar.[15][16] Armstrong produced some of the items but claimed the others were not in his possession; this led to several contempt of court charges brought by the SEC and the CFTC, for which he served seven years in jail until he reached a plea bargain with federal prosecutors.[17][18][19] Under the terms of the agreement, Armstrong admitted to deceiving corporate investors and improperly commingling client funds—actions that according to prosecutors resulted in commodities losses of more than seven hundred million dollars—and was sentenced to five years in prison.[20][15]

He was released from federal custody on 2 September 2011 after serving a total of eleven years behind bars.[21][22]

The case against Armstrong was finally closed in 2017, with the distribution of about $80 million to claim holders by the receiver, according to court filings.[23] Armstrong appealed the refusal of the receiver to transport his remaining possessions from storage lockers in New York and Pennsylvania to him in Florida, but the appeal failed in 2019. Concerning his felony conviction, Armstrong is “unrepentant”, according to Bloomberg.[1]

Hidden rare coins cache
In 2014, a day laborer sold a box of 58 rare coins to a Philadelphia thrift shop for $6,000, which he said he had found while clearing out the basement of a house in New Jersey. Three years later, in 2017, when the thrift shop announced they were to auction the coins—actually valued at $2.5 million, Armstrong came forward to declare himself the rightful owner. He claimed that he had hidden the coins in his mother’s old house to take them “off the books” in anticipation of the public offering of his firm. The thrift shop sued Armstrong, asking the court to declare the thrift shop as rightful owners while Armstrong counter-sued, also seeking ownership. In 2019, the US government learned about the coins and claimed them as part of the treasure hoard Armstrong had refused to hand over in 1999, and for which he had served seven years in jail for contempt. In addition to rare coins, the treasure hoard, valued at $12.9 million, included 102 gold bars, 699 gold coins, and an ancient bust of Julius Caesar.[24][25]

Armstrong was deposed and, according to Receiver Alan M. Cohen, Armstrong admitted hiding the coins. However, Armstrong’s attorneys said in a court filing that Armstrong did not make this admission. The auction house now possesses the coins and the US government has filed suit to take possession.[24][25]
