Wolves in Sheep Clothing – Republican Governors are Pro-Bioweapon Injections Despite Opposing COVID-19 “Vaccine Passports”
Governors of the two largest Republican states in the U.S. have recently taken political action to restrict or prohibit "vaccine passports" as a means of discriminating against private citizens who choose not get one of the COVID-19 bioweapon shots. Does this mean that Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis are against the bioweapon shots that have killed tens of thousands of people, and are now being injected into Children? Hardly. In fact, both these two governors, and ALL governors in the United States right now, regardless of political affiliation, are accomplices to mass murder. Unle... read more

United Protest against the 2022 Beijing Olympics
Today there was a protest in Vancouver which was part of a Global Day of Action calling for an Intenational boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. The Uyghurs, Tibetans and Hong Kongers were all well represented. They were all speaking out against the atrocities of Communist China. One protester compared the Beijing Olympics in 2022 with the 1936 Olympics that Adloff Hitler hosted. It is a fitting comparison. We can do better. One banner contained three portraits of a multitude of innocent Uyghurs held captive in Communist prison camps in China Hong Kong's last remaining p... read more

The Soviet-built Tu-144 actually flew before its supersonic rival Concorde, though it had a number of flaws inherent to the design that severely limited its usefulness.

Hitler's Buzzsaw: The German Army Still Uses this 1940s-era Machine Gun*Caleb Larson* *military, Europe* So fierce was its World War II reputation, it earned the moniker “Hitler’s Buzzsaw.” The MG 3 machine gun’s origins are firmly planted in World War II, with the Nazi German war machine. During that war, the MG 3’s predecessor, the MG 42, struck terror into the hearts of the Allies. Known informally as “Hitler’s Buzzsaw” the MG 42 was renowned for its blisteringly high rate of fire, which clocked in at 1,200 to 1,500 rounds per minute. The MG 42 was a crew-served weapon, meaning that unlike most modern machine gun systems, a two-man crew operated... read more

How Biden Helped Hardliner Raisi Win Iran ElectionIt was common knowledge that a U.S. failure to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal (known as the JCPOA) before Iran’s June presidential election would help conservative hard-liners to win the election. Indeed, on Saturday, June 19, the conservative Ebrahim Raisi was elected as the new President of Iran. Raisi has a record of brutally cracking down on government opponents and his election is a severe blow to Iranians struggling for a more liberal, open society. He also has a history of anti-Western sentiment and says he would refuse to meet with President Biden. And while current Preside... read more
