Rank and Vile – Stunning Inspector General Report Shows FBI Facilitating Predator Coach Larry Nassar Rape of U.S. Gymnasts – Worse, The FBI Lied to Investigators and Then The DOJ Refused to Prosecute
An absolutely damning Inspector General investigation of FBI conduct in the rape and sexual assault of U.S. Gymnasts reveals how FBI agents facilitated Nassar’s sex crimes by taking no action despite numerous witness statements to them. Worse yet, the FBI never reported the sexual assaults to local law enforcement… and to top it off the […] The post Rank and Vile – Stunning Inspector General Report Shows FBI Facilitating Predator Coach Larry Nassar Rape of U.S. Gymnasts – Worse, The FBI Lied to Investigators and Then The DOJ Refused to Prosecute appeared first on The Last Refuge. read more

*CNN: **'They're not going to f**king succeed': Top generals feared Trump would attempt a coup after election, according to new book* Washington (CNN)The top US military officer, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley, was so shaken that then-President Donald Trump and his allies might attempt a coup or take other dangerous or illegal measures after the November election that Milley and other top officials informally planned for different ways to stop Trump, according to excerpts of an upcoming book obtained by CNN.

US Takes Advantage Of The Price Cubans Are Paying For The Blockade
Cuba, like every other country on the planet, is struggling with the impact of COVID-19. This small island of 11 million people has created five vaccine candidates and sent its medical workers through the Henry Reeve International Medical Brigade to heal people around the world. Meanwhile, the United States hardens a cruel and illegal blockade of the island, a medieval siege that has been in place for six decades. In April 2020, seven United Nations special rapporteurs wrote an open letter to the United States government about the blockade. “In the pandemic emergency,” they wrote,... read more
The War Against Us
As some readers may have noticed, Antony Blinken has the State Department festooning its embassies around the world with “BLM” banners and the rainbow flag of the sexual identity movement known commonly as LGBTQI+. As our virtuous secretary of state explained in April, when he authorized these advertisements for America’s splendidly raised consciousness, the BLM pennant commemorates the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis last year; the familiar LGBTQI+ colors will fly on our flagpoles in foreign capitals “for the duration of the 2021 Pride season.” So our guitar-strumming chief ... read more
Cruel US Blockade Causing Misery And Unrest In Cuba
US officials and their corporate media mouthpieces were elated at the sight of protests in Cuba in recent days against deteriorating living conditions that are a direct result of the US blockade, which Trump increased and Biden has maintained during the pandemic to deliberately heighten suffering at a time when Cuba was sending doctors around the world to fight the disease. As is often the case when an adversary country experiences protests of any kind, it was immediately weaponized to push for a regime change narrative against Cuba. There's so much to unpack, from the protest dou... read more
Child Care Should Be Universal And Well-Paid
Queen Freelove of New Haven, Connecticut, remembers when the pandemic transformed the daycare she ran out of her home, abruptly turning the atmosphere from cozy to clinical: “Things got extremely traumatic for us,” she recalled. She was constantly trying to keep the environment sanitized, keeping a stockpile of masks, wipes, and other equipment, stopping parents in the hallway when they arrived to pick up their kids to take their temperature and give them a squirt of sanitizer — the protocol for “contactless” drop-offs and pick-ups. Keeping parents outside to minimize direct inter... read more
EU Mission Evaluates Venezuela Electoral Team
The European Union (EU) has sent an “exploratory mission” to Venezuela to assess social and political conditions in the country. The 15-day mission is similarly charged with judging electoral guarantees and the “utility, convenience and viability” of adding an EU delegation to the typically ample electoral observer teams for the November 21 “mega-elections,” in which more than 100 political parties are vying to elect over 3000 public regional and local officials. The delegation is considered a further step in smoothing relations between the Caribbean country and the European bloc,... read more
The Obscure Foundation Funding ‘Critical Race Theory’ Hysteria
Critical Race Theory (CRT), once a little-known academic concept, is now at the center of the national political discussion. CRT is discussed incessantly on Fox News. It is featured in campaign advertisements. And legislation banning it is advancing in statehouses around the country. This didn't happen on its own. Rather, there is a constellation of non-profit groups and media outlets that are systematically injecting CRT into our politics. In 2020, most people had never heard of CRT. In 2021, a chorus of voices on the right insists it is an existential threat to the country. A... read more

The Importance of Empires
An empire is a multi-civilizational entity—it is formed by coercing several civilizations to come together, under the umbrella of a single political system. When several civilizations are united under a single political system, there is a massive exchange of knowledge on science, technology, manufacturing, philosophy, politics, art, and literature. People from different civilizations interact with each other and they learn from each other. Stronger business relationships develop. Communication and transportation networks which span the globe get created. Without the empires of the ... read more

After he had administered about 900 doses of the Moderna experimental mRNA COVID-19 injections, he sounded the alarm over the severe reactions he was observing in his patients who chose to get the shot (he chose NOT to get it himself), which included death.

American Steel: How Mass Production Won the Second World War

Sleep Doctor Discovered Four Types of People – Your Type’s Daily Schedule May Be the Key to Health, Happiness, and Success
The hectic life of the 21st century leaves most of us forgetting the essentials when it comes to health: we spend too many hours sitting down; we don’t drink enough water; and as each new sleep study keeps reminding us, we do not get nearly enough sleep. Research shows that a healthy adult needs about 8 hours of sleep each night, yet 35% of the American adult population is getting less than 7 hours. “Human beings are the only species that deliberately deprive themselves of sleep for no apparent gain. Many people walk through their lives in an underslept state, not realizing it,” ... read more
14: Do not believe your journalists.
As I write this, George W. Bush, U.S. president at the start of the Afghanistan war, wept on television that the women and children would now be killed by the Taliban. The news media applauded his compassion.... I guess we've all forgotten that the man who targetted women and children in that war was - George W. Bush. In fact, then and since then, American wars have made a point of singling women and children for death. It is by far this world's murderer of women and children. American troops have been assigned the task in much of the world to starve, to murder women and child... read more

to break the stupor of silence that may appear as harmony
…it is solely due to a lack of true religion “pure and undefiled” and a lack of the practice of true religion that civilization has gone down time after time into negative spirals of destructivity, immorality and shame. I shun to speak of the great unhappiness that has been produced each time mankind have yielded to baser instincts on a mass scale; I would rather cite here and for all time the wondrous fact that wherever a life of virtue, a life of dedication, or even what men may call a life of sacrifice has been lived for humanity it has made an imprint of marvelous and last... read more

From Renaissance to Relapse
One thing about Labour is how endlessly productive it is of reviews, coalitions, nitiativesm and ginger groups. Off the top of my head, in the last five years we've had Momentum on the left, and on the right Labour to Win, Progressive Britain, Labour Together, the People's Vote, and commissions and policy reviews galore. So why not one more? Announcing its existence on *LabourList*, Renaissance promises to target research, resources, and activism on the so-called red wall seats to win as many back as possible. Sounds sensible. It also badges itself leadership-loyal and styles itsel... read more

Tribe Is Now An Owner Of The Power Grid
A news release includes some almost hidden news. The lede: “Southern California Edison, one of the nation’s largest electric utilities, has completed its West of Devers transmission lines.” The company said the deal was important because it added more power, renewable and battery energy storage to serve Southern California. And, as Kevin Payne, the utility’s president put it, the new lines will make it easier to distribute “energy resources like rooftop solar and battery energy storage” and “will contribute to decarbonizing our electric infrastructure, large-scale generation and r... read more

Two Front Failure: How Germany Could Have Won World War I
*Michael Peck* *World War I, Europe* It is easy to assume that German defeat was inevitable at the hands of an Allied coalition richer in manpower, weapons and money. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Wilson believed that America should enter the war against Germany, and perhaps he would have achieved this regardless. Foregoing unrestricted submarine warfare would also have sheathed the dagger that did inflict painful cuts on Britain. It also would have postponed the flood of U.S troops that changed the balance of power on the Western Front in 1918. When it comes to alternativ... read more
Why Putin is Upping the Ante on Ukraine
*Jacob Heilbrunn* *Ukraine, * Rather than losing his grip on power, former Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk says if anything, Putin has grown “stronger in the past five years.” This past April, Russian president Vladimir Putin massed over 100,000 troops near the border with Ukraine, escalating tensions between the two countries and prompting widespread speculation about his intentions before he ultimately withdrew some of his forces. Then, in June, Russia, after an apparent confrontation with a British destroyer sailing into the 12-nautical mile territorial zone aroun... read more
China Is Declaring Small-Arms Independence and That Should Worry the US
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Like the rest of China’s military revolution over the past quarter century, China’s small-arms revolution is a remarkable achievement. *Key point: *More than China's military is being modernized. China’s People’s Liberation Army has traditionally relied on foreign and Communist bloc weapons manufactured in China under license—or not. Now, however, as the PLA undergoes an unprecedented modernization, a new generation of locally designed and manufactured light weaponry is arming China’s armed forces, from handguns to light machine guns.

Whoa: In 2015, France 'Sank' This U.S. Aircraft Carrier
*Kyle Mizokami* *Aircraft Carriers, Europe* How did such a tiny submarine kill a ship almost fifty times larger than itself? *Here's What You Need to Know*: Submarines can be deadly foes, even for aircraft carriers. In March 2015, one of the largest nuclear-powered warships in the world was “sunk” by one of the smallest. The *Saphir*, a French nuclear attack submarine, reportedly penetrated the defenses of the aircraft carrier USS *Theodore Roosevelt* and scored simulated torpedo hits on her. The *incident*, originally reported by the French Navy, was later suppressed. On Marc... read more

Weather: Where Science And Supernatural Beliefs Meet
On July 15 971, the bones of St Swithin were removed from their resting place on the order of Aethelwold, Bishop of Winchester, and placed in a shrine inside the cathedral. The saint, it seemed, did not approve. A violent storm followed, and rain fell for 40 days. And from that story came the belief that the weather on July 15 predicted a summer of sun or rain. St Swithin’s day if thou dost rain’ For forty days it will remain; St Swithin’s day if thou be fair, For forty days will rain na mair. read more read more
