Russia and China Likely to Introduce U.N. Security Council Resolution Condemning Australia for Human Rights Violations
The headline might seem a little odd; but, then again, isn’t everything upside down now as we walk through Alice’s COVID-19 looking glass. Factually, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping and the Mullahs in Iran could not purposefully shift the global image of western democracy in the way the leaders of many nations […] The post Russia and China Likely to Introduce U.N.

Relief from COVID Vaccine Tyranny will NOT Come from the Courts as U.S. Supreme Court Denies Right to Refuse Shots by NYC Teachers
For everyone in the United States who is still holding out hope that the American judicial system will recognize that the current COVID-19 "vaccines" were approved illegally, and that neither government nor private employers have a legal right to mandate them as a condition to work or participate in society, it is time you recognize that this hope in the judicial system is in vain. Salvation will not come from the American judicial system, and Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor drove the last nail in the coffin of that hope yesterday, Friday, October 1, 2021. I saw a headline ... read more

Pelosi Lied to Her Own Caucus, Democrat Rep Josh Gottheimer Just Received The Bart Stupak Treatment
At 1:00am on August 25th Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats came to an agreement on a massive spending proposal. The Senate previously passed a $1.5 trillion “infrastructure” bill, and a group of 9 House moderates -led by Josh Gottheimer- wanted to see it pass. However, the far-left progressive caucus wanted their $3.5 trillion spending package […] The post Pelosi Lied to Her Own Caucus, Democrat Rep Josh Gottheimer Just Received The Bart Stupak Treatment appeared first on The Last Refuge. read more

blah blah blah
'Officials from developing countries' are 'demanding' something, according to the BBC: This is presently the second story on the BBC News website. If you're wondering how many paragraphs you'll have to scroll through to till you reach even a passing mention of [the massively polluting People's Republic of] China, you'll find it tucked away in Paragraph 18. And the 'Analysis' by BBC science correspondent Victoria Gill uncritically plugs Greta Thunberg. Students and activists in Milan formed a human wall to 'protect' her, BBC Victoria says - ever-so-analytically. read more
"A Look to the Heavens"
"These are galaxies of the Hercules Cluster, an archipelago of island universes a mere 500 million light-years away. Also known as Abell 2151, this cluster is loaded with gas and dust rich, star-forming spiral galaxies but has relatively few elliptical galaxies, which lack gas and dust and the associated newborn stars. The colors in this remarkably deep composite image clearly show the star forming galaxies with a blue tint and galaxies with older stellar populations with a yellowish cast. The sharp picture spans about 3/4 degree across the cluster center, corresponding to over 6 ... read more
Is the Havana Syndrome Real? A Newly Declassified Report Says It May Be Crickets
*Stephen Silver* *Havana Syndrome, * Buzzfeed News has obtained a declassified State Department report, from 2018, which concluded that injuries suffered by the diplomats more “most likely caused by crickets” than sonic weapons. Have you heard about Havana Syndrome? It’s a supposed illness that is said to be affecting embassy staffers and CIA officers in Cuba, as well as other foreign countries such as China and Russia. A National Academies of Sciences panel report last year identified pulsed radiofrequency energy as the “most likely” reason for the sickness. Now, another report... read more
North Korea Is Weaponizing the Naval ‘Gray Zone’ Against the South
*Sanghoon Kim* *North Korea, Asia* North Korea perfectly understands its position of weakness in the maritime domain and is emulating China’s revisionist strategy of gray zone operations to gradually overturn the status quo. After months of relative restraint, the Korean Peninsula is experiencing a new arms race. Since the announcement of the Medium-term Defense Program in 2020, South Korea commissioned a 3,800-ton *Dosan Ahn Changho*-class submarine and test-fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) on September 15. The U.S.-Republic of Korea (ROK) missile guideline wa... read more
South Korean Navy Launches Shin Chae-ho, its Third Changbogo-III Submarine
*Mark Episkopos* *Diesel Submarines, South Korea* Shin Chae-ho is a diesel-electric attack submarine displacing about 3,500 tons that supports the new Korean Vertical Launching System. South Korea has launched a new homegrown submarine, the latest in Seoul’s multipronged effort to enhance its regional deterrence capabilities. The launch ceremony for the ROKS *Shin Chae-ho* took place in a Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. shipyard in the southeastern city of Ulsan. The *Shin Chae-ho* is a diesel-electric attack submarine that boasts a variant of the Korean Vertical Launching System (K... read more
Chet Raymo, “A Sense Of Place”
*“A Sense Of Place”* by Chet Raymo “It would be hard to find two writers more different than Eudora Welty and Edward Abbey. Welty was a Pulitzer Prize-winning author of stories and novels who lived all her life in Jackson, Mississippi, in the house in which she was born, the beloved spinster aunt of American letters. Abbey was a hard-drinking, butt-kicking nature writer and conservationist best known for his books on the American Southwest. Both writers are favorites of mine. Both were great champions of place. I always wondered what it would have been like if they got together. As... read more
The Poet: Theodore Roethke, “The Geranium”

(Dried-out, she creaked like a tulip.) The things she endured! The dumb dames shrieking half the night Or the two of us, a... read more
"Grave Faults..."
“Only the following items should be considered to be grave faults: not respecting another's rights; allowing oneself to be paralyzed by fear; feeling guilty; believing that one does not deserve the good or ill that happens in one's life; being a coward. We will love our enemies, but not make alliances with them. They were placed in our path in order to test our sword, and we should, out of respect for them, struggle against them. We will choose our enemies.” - Paulo Coelho, "Like the Flowing River" read more
Paulo Coelho, "Killing Our Dreams"
*"Killing Our Dreams"* by Paulo Coelho "The first symptom of the process of our killing our dreams is the lack of time. The busiest people I have known in my life always have time enough to do everything. Those who do nothing are always tired and pay no attention to the little amount of work they are required to do. They complain constantly that the day is too short. The truth is, they are afraid to fight the Good Fight. The second symptom of the death of our dreams lies in our certainties. Because we don’t want to see life as a grand adventure, we begin to think of ourselves as w... read more

Verboten has lost
Jonathan Isaac (and some other NBA players) have broken the verboten spell. We've not really been allowed to talk critically about covid, or the jab, it's been verboten, a forbidden subject. Isaac was one of the ballplayers who took a knee over Black Lives Matter. It's obvious he thinks for himself. Many others don't, they just follow the crowd, what ever Mr. Big says, is what goes. Period. Big pharma is owned by many of the same people who own the media, who are Wall Streeters, who own the MIC and Big Oil. They have Inter-locking boards of directorates.

The Clinton conspiracy to destroy the Trump Administration
WASHINGTON, (Reuters) - A cybersecurity attorney known for his work advising Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign was indicted on Thursday for lying to the FBI, as part of U.S. Special Counsel John Durham's probe into the origins of the FBI investigation of ties between Russia and former President Donald Trump's campaign. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-grand-jury-indicts-lawyer-who-represented-clinton-campaign-2021-09-16/ ……………………………………….............................................................................................…… 9-23-2021 White House National Sec... read more
Even the Guardian...
There's been a lot of anger directed at the BBC today because of the BBC News website's reporting of the David Miller affair. David Miller was the Bristol University sociology professor who revelled in baiting Jewish students at his university by mocking them and spreading conspiracy theories at their expense. He's now been sacked. I've seen people saying that even *The Guardian *reported the story more fairly than the BBC, and contrasting their respective headlines. Where the BBC headline says *Bristol University: Professor David Miller sacked over Israel comments*, the *Guardian... read more

The "You" You'd Recuse

An Afghan Student Parodied the Taliban’s New University Chancellor—and Everyone Believed It
*Trevor Filseth* *Afghanistan, Eurasia* “All these days that I was tweeting pretending to be the new chancellor, no one doubted my words.” Mohammad Ashraf Ghairat, a long-time Taliban member appointed as the new chancellor of Kabul University, caused a brief firestorm in Western media after he decreed via Twitter on Monday that women would no longer be allowed to attend or teach. “As long as [a] real Islamic environment is not provided for all,” Ghairat wrote, “women will not be allowed to come to universities or work. Islam first.” After the tweet caused a firestorm, including... read more
The Qualities and Faults of Fourth-Generation Fighter Jets
*Kris Osborn* *Stealth Jets, Americas* The Super Hornet and Eagle II are engineered with an advanced suite of next-generation combat capabilities. But does that still fall short of what they need to combat America’s adversaries? The Navy and the Air Force appear to be making a push to supplement the Defense Department’s growing fifth-generation fleet of F-35 stealth fighter jets with advanced, enhanced fourth-generation aircraft. The Air Force’s Boeing F-15EX Eagle II and the Navy’s Block III F/A-18 Super Hornet jets could be described as 4.5-generation aircraft. These jets are h... read more

Cynicism of Biden’s UN Speech Calling for More Diplomacy
Joe Biden spoke of peace and diplomacy at the U.N. but support for defense spending and war making are bipartisan imperatives that prevent the people’s needs from being met.
