For those of you neither young nor old enough to remember the Gulag Archipelago, or who haven't yet embarked on a read of Solzhenitsyn's aptly Named Gulag Trilogy:
— The
'RED COWS' were the railstock converted freight-cars converted to transport Political prisoners from the Butyriki (Moscow Central Prison) on their 1st leg of the arduous multi-thousand Km Journey venturing through the Frozen Russian Steppe, out to Siberia ...
— The
"Red Cow" comes from the fact that these Prisoner Transports were in actuality converted cattle wagon rolling-stock. Red in color. Appropriately disguising the 58's (Political Prisoners) and others from the curiosity of natives as they trundled endlessly on, traversing Russian Towns and Villages throughout day and night.
I can think of a couple of
Red Cows of a
'different colour', and which have not wheels but are in fact Bi-Peds; but that's another story.
Meanwhile back here in the Future, and all is being fulfilled exactly as I'd expect in a Political world run by Militarist Mobsters, and Paranoid Lunatics on what the see as an endless march to a place where they will be forever recorded in the Archives of History and a Record of 21C National Sacrifices, in the name of a fanciful 'Brave New World Order'.
We need a new name for the NWO now. It's been in use for 50 Years anyway.
