Now comes a story from a researcher from the other side of the political spectrum, titled “Was Global Warming The Cause of the […] The post Expert Analysis: ‘Climate Change’ Had No Significant Role in Pacific Northwest Heatwave appeared first on Climate Realism. read more

U.S. Army History Of Iraq War Vol 1 – Chapter 6 – Lost In Transition, May-July 2003
The United States was not only unprepared for the occupation of Iraq but actively made it worse. That’s the subject of the 6th Chapter of the U.S. Army’s history of the Iraq War. First, the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) not only alienated Sunnis but fueled the insurgency and militias. The military on the other hand was focused upon withdrawing and had no security plan for the country. All together this was a recipe for disaster. Paul Bremer was selected by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to run postwar Iraq. He had no experience with the Middle East and was not rea... read more

Over 6 months into the mass vaccination campaign with the experimental, non-FDA approved COVID-19 shots, where about half of the U.S. population now has received at least one of these injections, tens of thousands of victims are beginning to speak out, regretting their choices, and begging for help. The medical community by and large has turned their backs on them, which is really what they have done for the past 40+ years with ALL vaccine injured people, most of whom have been children prior to the COVID-19 shots. So while those speaking out in the past have been primarily parent... read more

The Assassination of Haitian President Jovenel MoïseUnknown assailants overnight assassinating Haitian President Jovenel Moïse was a horrific act that should be condemned in no uncertain terms. Unfortunately, such violence is unsurprising. As the Black Alliance for Peace (BAP) noted in its July 6 press release, Moïse’s actions since usurping power have brought Haiti to a boiling point, with heavily armed gangs being unleashed, both supported by and enabled by the Haitian elite and those international “friends” of Haiti, including the United States, the United Nations, the Core Group and the Organization of American States. read more
