Election 2021: Welcome to ‘stupid season’
It’s 7:37 am on Saturday morning and I hit refresh on my computer news feed. Again. A few minutes earlier, on CBC Radio’s Weekend Morning, newsreader Sarah Haliburton — squeezed between host Bill Roach’s usual eclectic musical selections (Dennis Lee’s iconic “Alligator Pie” followed by “Two Sleepy People,” the Fats Waller version) — began her […] read more

Wilfrid Laurier’s Own Little Cultural Revolution
About 50 years ago Chairman Mao of China instigated a Cultural Revolution that upended, if not ended, the lives of millions of people, most of whom were entirely innocent. You might have thought that the powers at be of Wilfrid Laurier University would have learned their lessons after the appalling treatment of Lindsay Shepherd. They… Continue reading → read more

From Judaism to Fascism: How Zionists Turned Their Backs on Their Own Culture
For the Zionists, the drive to climb the blood-soaked ladder of imperialism, to no longer be on the bottom rungs, shrouded not only their humanity but their own cultural teachings. WASHINGTON — In late June of this year, New Scientist blandly reported that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) had “used a swarm of small drones … Continue reading From Judaism to Fascism: How Zionists Turned Their Backs on Their Own Culture → read more

“Our Species is Being Genetically Modified”: Humanity’s March Toward Extinction?
This year marks a seminal turning point in human history. For the first time since human civilization began, our species is being genetically modified. Vaccine manufacturers have now made it possible for the human genome to be permanently altered—and humanity’s relationship with nature forever changed—by means of an experimental pharmaceutical injection that is being falsely … Continue reading “Our Species is Being Genetically Modified”: Humanity’s March Toward Extinction? → read more

These Flying 'Panda Bears' Gave the Japanese Hell
*Warfare History Network* *History, * Shark-nosed Curtiss P-40 Tomahawks of the newly formed American Volunteer Group, the Flying Tigers. *Key Point: * The American volunteer fliers listened to words of both praise and criticism from their jut-jawed, craggy leader, Lt. Col. Claire L. Chennault, and then he added dourly, “Next time, get them all.” Laden with 500-pound bombs and incendiaries, 10 Japanese twin-engine Mitsubishi Ki21 Sally bombers took off from the Hanoi airfield in Indochina on the morning of Saturday, December 20, 1941. Beginning a 300-mile flight to Kunming, the ... read more
Army Sees New Tactical Vehicle as Critical to Its Arctic Warfighting
*Kris Osborn* *Arctic Warfare, arctic* The Army plans to possibly acquire as many as 200 Cold Weather All Terrain Vehicles through an upcoming deal in 2022, an Oshkosh Defense statement says. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *A recently unveiled Army Arctic Strategy paper, called “Regaining Arctic Dominance,” specifically cites “mobility” as a serious and growing challenge to Army operations in the Arctic, certainly a circumstance which might explain why the service is moving quickly to acquire these vehicles. The Army is building a first-of-its-kind tactical vehicle to conduc... read more

The real reason for Germany’s flood disaster: A ‘monumental failure of the warning system’
By Paul Homewood The first signs of catastrophe were detected nine days ago by a satellite orbiting 500 miles above the tranquil hills around the Rhine river. Over the next few days a team of scientists sent the German authorities a series of forecasts so accurate that they now read like a macabre prophecy: […] read more
Sunday morning music
This morning I'd like to explore one song, and how it's been used to express different emotions and stir up feelings in other entertainment genres. Leonard Cohen rose to prominence in the 1960's. He wrote poetry, some allegedly under the influence of stimulants, and set it to music, which sometimes led to lyrics that were hard to put into perspective in the context of his life. Some have been discussed and debated for decades without resolution. One such song was "Avalanche", from his third album "Songs of Love and Hate", released in 1971. I've always liked it for its quas... read more

After all you will not remember that second that you’ve got been proven a champion. Not even your mother and father can or could have. Except, of course, you or they have been medical college students or have had enough curiosity in human anatomy and physiology. Your conception was a proof of your championship. From among the millions of your father’s sperm cells that raced in direction of that single egg cell that your mother ... read more

World War II: How One Journalist Used His Microphone To Fight Nazi Germany
*Warfare History Network* *World War II, Europe* As war clouds gathered in the 1930s, a new kind of journalist—the radio broadcaster—began transmitting. Taking the lead was Edward R. Murrow. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Murrow's microphone had been as much a weapon in the fight against Nazi tyranny as any rifle, pistol, or bayonet. On the evening of August 7, 1937, two neophyte radio broadcasters went to dinner together at the luxurious Adlon Hotel in Berlin, Germany. Edward R. Murrow and William L. Shirer had never met before that night. Murrow, newly arrived in London as the... read more
Soviet Failure in Afghanistan Was Very Different From American Failure
*Warfare History Network* *History, Middle East* After the Soviets’ massive firepower overwhelmed them, the mujahideen retreated into the mountains along the Afghan border and switched to guerrilla-style tactics. The Soviets followed. *Key Point: *To pave the way for the invasion, Soviet advisers with the Afghan Army tricked their clients into incapacitating themselves. In late 1979, the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan was torn apart by a civil war pitting the weak Communist government of Hafizullah Amin against several moderate and fundamentalist Muslim rebel armies. The war ... read more
England Football Fandom’s Struggle with its Own Image
*Cornel Sandvoss* *, United Kingdom* The government has been notably less willing to reflect on the abuse and violence a significant number of England fans have long perpetrated against other fans. Packed bars; England taking an early lead; a febrile atmosphere; abusive and violent behaviour as the team concedes an equaliser and eventually loses on penalties. The night of the Euro 96 match between England and Germany that concluded my first study of football fandom 25 years ago seemed rather less distant as England lost to Italy in the Euro 2020 final last weekend.

Rotten To The Core
There has been a longstanding concern about blatant bias at the BBC, not least in matters of climate change. This certainly dates back at least to January 2006, when they held a seminar of “top scientific experts” to advise them on climate change. The BBC fought tooth and nail to conceal the identity of these […] read more
因为你们已经进入了火圈--M.N. Hopkins的演讲
变革之火现在就在燃烧,只要人还居住在人类的形式中,就会继续燃烧。 因为你们已经通过化身为人类的形式进入了火圈。 这把火将烧掉岁月的忧伤,并在某一天将你们全部转化为光的生命。 一旦被创造之火点燃,你们将把生活看作是一种冒险,就像孩子玩耍一样。 在游戏过程中,年幼的人以快乐的姿态观察和思考所看到的一切。 这种快乐是知识之火的助燃剂,并带来了答案,或者可以更好地说,给孩子带来了理解之光。 孩子是开放的,诚实地以一种充满喜悦的方式进行着。 这使孩子能够轻松地获取信息,而成人由于一直处于催眠的分心状态,则无法获取信息。成人被训练成远离所有真实和不言而喻的东西,而孩子在不知不觉中对所有知识敞开心扉,不受自己所学的阻碍和恐惧的影响。 孩子能以一种清晰和开放的方式看待世界,除了少数进入成人世界的人之外,其他人都失去了这种方式。 孩子生来就有思想和情感的自由,并尽可能快地被带入想象思维的奴役中。 失去了为自己思考和推理的能力,孩子开始进入思维迟钝和情感迟钝的世界。 那些反抗的人很快就会被注射疫苗和用药,使其屈服。 因为药物使人的感官变得迟钝,削弱了人的意志。 医学只不过是用来奴役思想和情感、削弱和折磨人类的众多工具之一。 因为人曾经是一个强大而健康的实体,能够有先进的思想和感觉,但现在已经演变成一个半意识或半知觉的个体,在身体和心灵上被毒害得缺乏进化的意愿。 少数人敢... read more
M.N.ホプキンスのスピーチ「あなたは火の輪に入ったのだから
変化の火は今も燃えており、人間が人間の形をしている限り燃え続けるでしょう。 あなた方は人間の形に転生することで、火の輪に入ったのですから。 その火は時代の悲しみを焼き尽くし、いつか皆さんを光の存在に変えてくれるでしょう。 ひとたび創造の火が灯れば、あなた方は人生を子供が遊ぶように生きる冒険としてとらえるでしょう。 遊んでいる間、幼い子供たちは喜びに満ちた態度で目に見えるすべてのものを観察し、考えます。 この喜びが知識の火を燃え上がらせ、答えを明るみに出す、あるいは子供に理解の光をもたらすと言った方がいいかもしれません。 子供はオープンで、喜びに満ちた態度で素直に進んでいきます。 これにより、子供は、大人が常に催眠状態で気を取られているためにアクセスできない情報に簡単にアクセスすることができます。大人は、真実や自明のことから目をそらすように訓練されていますが、子どもは無知のまま、教えられた障害や恐れに邪魔されることなく、すべての知識に開かれています。 子供は、大人の世界に入った一部の人を除いて失われてしまった、明確で開かれた方法で世界を見ることができます。 子供は思考と感情の自由の中に生まれ、できるだけ早く想像上の思考の奴隷へと導かれます。 自分の頭で考え、推論する能力を失った子供は、鈍い心と鈍い感情の世界に入り始めます。 抵抗する者はすぐにワクチンを接... read more

The End of America?
No matter the direction, it will get nasty By Ray DiLorenzo July 17, 2021 So-called political analysts, who can’t seem to correctly analyze anything, constantly ask why our country is going through such turmoil. They describe what they see, but can’t or won’t answer the question ‘why?’ *It Started With Agenda 21* ~ Why is it only 36% of the young between the ages of 18-24 are proud to be an American? Almost the same figure for UK youth. ~ Why is our culture and patriotism being attacked by our very own? Even Captain America has turned his back on his country. ~ Why is Bill ... read more

Vì bạn đã đi vào vòng lửa bằng cách hóa thân thành định dạng con người. * *Ngọn lửa sẽ thiêu rụi những sự phức tạp của thời đại và sự thay đổi và biến bạn tất cả một ngày thành Chúng ta sinh ánh sáng. **Khi bước xuống ngọn lửa của sự sáng tạo, bạn sẽ thấy cuộc sống như một cuộc phiêu lưu được sống như một trò chơi trẻ em.

Meet ISTAR: The New Spy Plane that Is Increasing Military Awareness
*Kris Osborn* *military, Americas* Human decisionmaking faculties can bring an irreplaceable combat advantage at the point of targeting and potential attack in the air that computer algorithms can’t. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *These ISTAR aircraft are larger than the U.S. Army’s Enhanced Medium Altitude Reconnaissance and Surveillance System (EMARSS) yet smaller than the now retiring Joint Surveillance and Attack Radar System (JSTARS), something which developers believe may offer an optimal blend of airborne command and control with speed, maneuverability, and a wide ... read more
Birth Control Continues to Fail Women – So Why Has Nothing Changed?
*Bethan Swift, Christian Becker* *Health, * Unpleasant side effects from contraceptives are experienced by many women. The hunt for a “male birth control pill” is a topic that often grabs attention. But so far no products have been licensed for use, either because they haven’t been effective enough, or because of negative side effects – including depression, mood disorders and acne – that halted trials. Current contraceptive options for men are limited and not always effective – so it’s no wonder research continues in this area. But, while this is important, it’s critical that t... read more
