Attacks on Crimea expected to divert Russian forces
ISW: Russian occupation officials in Crimea reported another drone attack on the Russian Black Sea Fleet Headquarters in Sevastopol on August 20. Russian-appointed Governor of Sevastopol Mikhail Razvozhaev claimed that Russian forces were unable to shoot down a drone, resulting in the drone hitting the roof of the Black Sea Fleet headquarters.[1] Razvozhaev then retracted his initial statement and claimed that a fleet air defense post shot down the drone, which landed on the roof and caught fire.[2] Social media footage showed a loud explosion and a cloud of smoke around the hea... read more

* Majority of college students have a mental illness: study* Researchers at Boston University recently revealed some staggering findings — that depression among college students increased by nearly 135% over eight years, while anxiety surged 110%. Unfortunately, those rates have well outpaced the demand for available and affordable mental health services, they said. “Living in a new setting and away from home can often create overwhelming and stressful circumstances, and recently we’ve added the stress of the pandemic to the mix,” Sarah Lipson, a health policy professor at Boston ... read more

* Is Global Warming The Greatest Scientific Fraud In History?* In 1912, amateur archaeologist Charles Dawson claimed to have discovered the “missing link” between ape and man, known as “The Piltdown Man.” He had found part of a human-like skull in Pleistocene gravel beds near Piltdown village in Sussex, England. Dawson submitted the find to Arthur Smith Woodward, keeper of geology at the Natural History Museum. [bold added] Smith Woodward made a reconstruction of skull fragments, and the archaeologists hypothesized that the find indicated evidence of a human ancestor living 500,... read more

Tiffany Cross And Sam Harris Say The Quiet Part Out Loud
If you haven’t heard of Tiffany Cross, she is the poor man’s Joy Reid, and arguably even nastier. Sam Harris is a lot better known, mostly as a philosopher, and like Cross he has a big mouth. Unlike Cross, he isn’t a moron, so while she can be if not forgiven then tolerated for her […] read more

From the USA, Part V: Final impressions from a long, strange trip [Video]
As the USA trip ended, I finally had a couple different people ask me questions about Ukraine and the war with Russia. This was interesting because in all 29 days or so of my travel, this only happened once in this way, where the individuals asking actually believed that the Russians’ actions were the problem.

Sermonette
Should you Become a Democrat? How can salt lose its flavor? Answer: It can’t. And that’s the point. In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus tells his disciples, “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no […] The post Sermonette appeared first on Virtual Mirage. read more

It’s Sunday On Turtle Island
Trudeau’s Canada: Canada’s euthanasia culture. As expected, Justin’s CBC trashed Jared Kushner’s new book. Couple of interesting tidbits in the book about our future prime minister Freeland. She annoyed American free trade reps by ranting about whale rights for Inuit, and would read inked notes on her hands. Book Review: Some things never change. This… Continue reading → read more
Alexander Dugin's daughter killed in car bomb
BBC is reporting that "According to state media, Darya Dugina died after her car exploded in flames while she was driving home. It is thought that her father, the Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin who is known as 'Putin's brain,' may have been the intended target of the attack." The New York Post is reporting that "Her father was supposed to take the car but got in a different vehicle at the last moment, violinist Pyotr Lundstrem told the outlet." Very sad. Well, we know Putin didn't do it. The CIA strikes again. Blackwater sucks. This is the worst thing a father can experience.... read more

Francois Gauthier's Sentencing
OK this is where I was going with my musical introduction. 6ixaktv is reporting that Francois Gauthier's sentencing has been released. My interpretation of that decision will be very different than his. First and foremost, I will clarify that nowhere in that decision does it state that Francois Gauthier was hired by the UN. The fact that he was from Quebec would imply he was hired by the Hells Angels. I find it somewhat ironic that the judge cited Regina v. Powery-Hooker, 2021 BCSC 2005 in his jurisprudence. That was the decision about the two kids from Edmonton that were hired by ... read more

This Is CNN (Bumped for more)
Remembering Brian Stelter. At this point it’s almost cliché to say so, but what Stelter meant when he used words like “misinformation” was right-wing. For all the Reliable Sources anchor’s garment-rending about declining trust in the media, he spent a disproportionate amount of time covering for his industry’s egregiously biased, activist behavior over the course… Continue reading → read more

A light in the darkness for Ukrainians under fire

on Babylon
The trends of human life have moved increasingly toward a gregariousness reminiscent of the days of ancient Babylon. These trends are understandable when viewed as by-products of scientific achievements of the age. For instance, advanced methods of communication have been employed to spread the message around the world that has involved men in a false sense of social reform as though the power of God Himself were inadequate to bring the kingdom of God into manifestation upon Earth. -Saint Germain, Pearl 12:18 ….............. Understand, beloved, that the mighty men of Babylon and th... read more

These Are the Top Eight Cell Phone Models That Emit the Most Harmful Radiation, According to a 2022 Study
Most people think of cell phones as a benign technology because of how often we use them.

The Historic Blunder of 1937 & the Direct Action Day
Sarat Chandra Bose India lost a major part of Bengal, with terrible consequences for Bengali Hindus, in 1937, when the Congress Party made a historic blunder. Despite emerging as the largest party in the 1937 election for the Bengal Legislative Assembly, the Congress Party refused to form a government. The tally was: Congress Party, 54 seats; Muslim League, 40 seats; Krishak Praja Party, 35 seats. Sarat Chandra Bose, the leader of Bengal Congress, wanted to form a joint government with Krishak Praja Party and some independent candidates. He pleaded with Mahatma Gandhi and Jawahar... read more

What Happens After Trump is Convicted?
Considering how sluggish the Biden Justice Department has acted toward Trump and his countless crimes until the last several weeks, that's a big If. By now, I'd think a big chunk of the US news consuming public knows the news that's come out of Mar a Lago since August 8th- That morning, the FBI served a lawful search warrant of Trump's property in Palm Beach and executed it. They got their hands on 11 sets of documents comprising some 10 to 12 boxes, making the total haul since January up to 27 boxes of documents that Trump hoarded and took to Mar a Lago, several of the... read more

In Defense of Fertilizers, Farmers and Food
Originally posted on Science Matters: The UN and WEF have declared a War on Fertilizers with conflicts erupting in Sri Lanka, the Netherlands and Canada.
