I know you are scratching your heads, or cradling your vaginas, asking yourself ” What the hell is a vagina whisperer?” Well, my friends, according to @TruthfulMommy a vagina whisperer is one who understands the vagina, soothes the vagina, makes the vagina happy and can whisper to a fetus to come towards the light.16 Oct 2011 [Library Service]

"We must turn Russia into a desert populated by whites Negroes upon whom we shall impose a tyranny such as the most terrible Eastern despots never dreamt of. The only difference is that this will be a left-wing tyranny, not a right-wing tyranny. It will be a red tyranny and not a white one. We mean the word 'red' literally, because we shall shed such floods of blood as will make all the human losses suffered in the capitalist wars pale by comparison. The biggest bankers across the ocean will work in the closes possible contact with us. If we win the revolution, we shall establish the power of Zionism upon the wreckage of the revolution's funeral, and we shall become a power before which the whole world will sink to its knees. We shall show what real power is. By means of terror and bloodbaths, we shall reduce the Russian intelligentsia to a state of complete stupefaction and idiocy and to an animal existence." -- Leon Trotsky.
