20 posts held, back to 14 June 2023 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 10 April 2025. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 9 August 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. Below Telegram’s rounding threshold, so these counts are exact.

Measured directly from 2 videos with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.

Serenity a poison made as deadly as any other. It pacifies you and induces a state of mind. In which you do not even recognize the most essential Tributes of your existence Our war is a wakeup call It will bring us back where we belong It will provide for us a reason for our existence This is not the war to end all wars This is the war that will never end...

Our past sufferings were lessons, and for every lesson we took our will got only stronger. These decades of misery were a lesson, and for each minute that passed our goal got only closer. And the final lesson, and it's final assignment, we give you this day. Take whatever you have at hand and turn it into a weapon. Take whatever feelings you have left and turn them into hatred. For there are no losers in our war. I…
"The first half-century of my life is now over. Much has been accomplished. Much still has to be done to safeguard the future of our Reich. The next years will be crucial. Until 1942 or 1943, we shall still have the lead in the arms race with the Western powers. But with each passing year, this lead narrows. So if anything is to be won, it must be fought for now. Almighty God, Bless Our Arms, when the time comes. Be …

"Here's a story. A man saves another who was sinking into a slimy pond... thereby risking his own life. Now they are both lying on the edge of the pond out of breath, exhausted. The rescued man says, "Idiot. Why did you do that? I live there!" He took great offence" - Andrei Gorchakov (Oleg Yankovskiy) - Nostalghia 1983
"One of the tragedies of the democratic drift is that profound truths may become truisms without being incorporated in legislative action, especially those truths that require to be imaginatively perceived. Should forty million people find their white blood corpuscles called forth to fight against the deadly germs of typhus, their need would be sufficiently obvious for the politician to bring the resources of the Sta…

I cannot begin to describe this cretinous existence of mine. Nor how lonely it is to be without family or friends. The only white man in this country, perhaps on this whole continent. Meanwhile I have become the father of 62 children; but, this gives me no satisfaction. Perhaps next year I shall come back and marry. I would live in the lands of the ice and snow, anywhere to be away from here. The heat here is mean an…
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @ThoughtsOAD. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

Channels on the register whose posts this channel has forwarded.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
