Exposing Myanmar's US-Backed Opposition
Land Destroyer, Land Destroyer - 21 hours ago
*May 7, 2021* (Brian Berletic - LD) - The Western media claims Myanmar’s opposition represents the pro-democracy aspirations of the people, contrasting from what they claim is a violent military-led regime. In reality, the government Myanmar's military ousted from power in February was entirely the product of foreign interference - and in no way represented a "democratically elected" government. In addition to that, the Western media has covered up for years the racist, genocidal nature of Aung San Suu Kyi and her support base - in yet another example of the US backing extremis...

Clever marketing or coercion as companies peddle vaccine discounts [Video]
Seraphim Hanisch, The Duran - 21 hours ago
In my own e-mail inbox I spotted this interesting advertisement. Yes, you even get a code “VAXNRELAX”. Apply this to your travel plans made through Hotwire and you get a $20 discount.

Can Ghislaine Maxwell Receive A Fair Trial?
TheDarkMan, The Duran - 21 hours ago
Perhaps a better question would be how can Ghislaine Maxwell receive a fair trial when this woman has already been convicted a dozen, a hundred, a thousand times over in the court of public opinion? This is partly due to lurid accusations and speculation on mostly social media, including YouTube, but also to the nature […]

Corpul a fost creat pentru a se autoîntreține și a se autovindeca - Un citat de M.N. Hopkins
Stranger in a Strange Land, Stranger in a Strange Land - 22 hours ago
*Corpul a fost creat pentru a se autoîntreține și a se autovindeca, dar omul, prin gândirea sa limitată, a crezut că știe mai bine decât Creatorul său și a început să creeze un sistem bazat pe limitare sau autolimitare care a dus la boli și tulburări mentale și emoționale de orice fel imaginabil. Iar imaginația a fost cea care a alimentat acest foc al distrugerii unui sistem care funcționa deja bine.* *© **M.N.

Тялото е създадено, за да се самоподдържа и самолекува - Цитат от M.N. Hopkins
Stranger in a Strange Land, Stranger in a Strange Land - 22 hours ago
Тялото е създадено, за да се самоподдържа и самолекува, но човекът с ограниченото си мислене си е помислил, че знае повече от своя Създател, и е започнал да създава система, изградена върху ограничаване или самоограничаване, което е довело до болести и умствени и емоционални разстройства от всякакъв вид, който можете да си представите. И именно въображението подклаждаше този огън на разрушаване на вече добре функциониращата система. *© **М.N.

Тело было создано для самоподдержания и самовосстановления, но человек благодаря своему ограниченному мышлению решил, что он знает больше, чем его Создатель, и начал создавать систему, построенную на ограничении или самоограничении, что привело к болезням, психическим и эмоциональным расстройствам всех видов, которые только можно себе представить. И именно воображение раздуло этот огонь разрушения уже хорошо функционирующей системы. *© **М.N.

Chinese Snipers Are No Joke
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Asia* While China was once in lockstep with the Soviets in terms of sniper technology, Beijing has since developed its own uniquely deadly weapons. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *While the Type 88 and Type 85 are the most common rifles in use, there also are a myriad of other rifles for precision shooting and special purposes.

Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *North Korea, East Asia* Pyongyang has a lot of tricks up its sleeve, and that includes special forces to infiltrate the South and cause a lot of damage. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *North Korean special forces have evolved from a nuisance force designed to stage attacks in the enemy’s rear into something far more dangerous. One of the most vital parts of North Korea’s war machine is one that relies the most on so-called “soldier power” skills. North Korea has likely the largest special-forces organization in the world, numbering two hundred thousand men—a...
