How many high-school students are capable of meeting the College Board benchmark? This is not easy to answer, b

I suppose that many of you who visit my blog get most of your news from the US "mainstream media," which constantly reports military and propaganda provocations against Russia. Here, Paul Craig Roberts asks the question: “What if the Russians believe us? What if we convince Russia that we are going to attack her?” Well, from extensive reading of non-mainstream media, I have learned that Vladimir Putin is not a monster, and that he plans to attack no one but ISIS in Syria. That is, until NATO completes its anti-nuclear-missile installations in Eastern European countries surrounding Russian …which would put Russia in true danger. So, like the Minute Men at Bunker Hill, Putin won't shoot until he sees the whites of the eyes of those who plan to attack Mother Russia. However, whereas the Minute Men fully expected the arrival of the Red Coats, the US continues to pretend that their illegal planting of anti-nuclear-weapons in Russia's front yard is only defensive.

From two lines in this article: "[I]t was Mrs. Clinton who hectored her husband into bowing to a chorus of neoconservative and liberal interventionist voices and finally giving the order to bomb the former Yugoslavia." Continuing… "...Serbs in the northern part of the country were demanding some form of local autonomy to stave off violent attacks by Kosovar ultra-nationalists." Long story short, Kosovo and Serbia were abutting provinces in the former Yugoslavia, and the former was attacking the latter ...supported by Hillary. Flash back to early 2001. The blogger (Dave Griscom) was an Invited Professor of Research at Universtiés de Paris 6 & 7 and, most improbably, a Serbian professor was also invited at the same time doing the exactly the same kind of research! Thus we had to take turns using the main instrument called an ESR spectrometer (see the photo of us in front of this instrument below).
