Failure in Ukraine could mean the disintegration of EU & NATO
*‘Through Ukraine’: Can the West Use the War to Stem Its Decline and the Shift to a New Global Monetary Order? * By Alastair Crooke (Strategic Culture Foundation) Sometimes revolutionary change creeps up upon us by stealth; we only come to appreciate the major bifurcation when we come to notice it, in the rear-view mirror. This is especially so when the those who first pulled the trigger do not fully appreciate – themselves – what they have done. What has been done? In a moment of visceral prejudice, a few ‘Team Biden’ staffers decided to leverage their plan to collapse t... read more

Yes, Lesson Plans. But--
I don't think a week goes by that I don't find someone on the interwebs arguing that writing out lesson plans is a big fat waste of time. I'm not convinced. I've worked with too many student teachers and even beginning teachers who really needed to write lesson plans. They were stepping in front of a class without really figuring out what exactly they were doing, why they were doing it, or how they would know that they had accomplished it. Their lesson plans were basically "Cover chapter 3" or "Go over punctuation rules." A written lesson plan is a good way to figure out what you'... read more

"The Total War to Cancel Russia"
*"The Total War to Cancel Russia"* by Pepe Escobar "By now it’s abundantly clear that the neo-Orwellian “Two Minute Hate” Russophobic campaign launched by the Empire of Lies after the start of Operation Z is actually “24/7 Hate”. Vast swathes of NATOstan have been corralled into behaving like a Russophobic lynch mob. No dissent is tolerated. The full psyops has de facto upgraded the Empire of Lies to the status of Empire of Hate in a Total War – hybrid and otherwise – to cancel Russia.

The proof is literally in the outcomes that you’re seeing everyday.” Kirby must get his information from CNN. I don’t know of any battles the Ukrainians have won.

What a great idea! Let's all re-identify our finances!
I had to laugh while reading Howie Carr's latest suggestion. I know a guy in Billerica who, like most people, has grown weary of making the monthly mortgage payments on his house for decades. But last week he emailed me some very good news, which may make his life a lot easier. “My home mortgage has decided to self-identify as a student loan,” he said. “You know what that means? I will no longer have to pay it — ever!” This is marvelous news, and I predict that “transitioning” all debt into student loans is going to be the next big thing in the equity racket.

The Bucha false flag scenario is inexorably falling apart just days after it was noisily launched.
