"Police believe that Gerasimenko’s body was among more than 100 sold illegally by Kyrgyz psychiatric hospitals and prison colonies to the Bishkek medical academy. The academy, in turn, helped to supply Gunther von Hagens, the German anatomist, whose controversial Body Worlds exhibition of skinned corpses has earned gross revenues of more than £45m across the world."

Wonder which of these is Gerasimenko’s body...

Hideous. Fetid, stagnant pools of Communist oppression still refuse to evaporate in that region of the world. Yet, the Left will continue to embrace their demented dogma and attempt to foist it upon humanity. As long as Communism and Socialism exists on this planet, the future of the human race is in danger of extinction. It must be destroyed.

Amen, brother.

Its what the Clintons had in mind, more or less.

I wish I lived in Chicago. I am not good at arranging things but I would be willing to stand on the sidewalk and protest the Museum of Science and Industry's exhibition. It should not be allowed in the US.

There is no suggestion that von Hagens paid for the corpses Gabitov sent him. He did, however, donate £250,000 to the academy to fund staff, equipment and research.

Only a lawyer would say such nonsense.

Many of these people are misguided because of their intellectual or spiritual weakness, so they look for a perceptual security blanket - or a source of strength and/or power to compensate for their inadequencies. The rest are truly evil in the universally understood concept of the term. They must be removed from this fragile thing we call Existence. I don't believe all Leftists are incorrigable; many are victims and pawns, yet they don't know it.

Imagine that. The keepers of the gulag not only imprisoned and killed their victims, they even (gasp) sold the bodies for profit.

Thank God for Reagan, our allies (Thather, Kohl and, yes, even Mitterand) and members of our armed forces who stood up to these bastards.

[Larry Lucido]

BTW, I'm not among those who want to summarily dispose of the Russians as possible allies (see my profile page). I would love to have the Russians as allies against the muslim threat. But Reagan's advise to "Trust but Verify" still rings true.

[Viking2002]

You have my unqualified permission, my friend.

[Larry Lucido]

Sigh.

Thather = Thatcher

advise = advice
