Centenary of a Coup

7/11/2017

I'm not waxing romantic today. I’m tired of false history. Nicholas II had abdicated in March of 1917. What the Bolsheviks overthrew was the (second) provisional government following that resignation.

I'm delighted to see that the Google doodle for today celebrates pad thai. As far as I can tell it has nothing to do with any anniversary of the invention of the Thai national dish. Maybe the choice has more to do with avoidance of the October "Revolution."

Please see my posts from March on this topic:

My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn't stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn't feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email [email protected]
