Marco Rubio slammed for tweet condemning Marxism
This headline from Bill Gates' Communist News Network is the perfect example of how criminally insane the Mainstream media has become. The article claims that Senator Marco Rubio was slammed for criticizing Marxism. AYFKM? Slammed by who? No one with a brain. That's like saying he was slammed for criticizing Adolf Hittler. Marxism has murdered more people than Fascism. Fascism and Marxism are the same thing. Who was he slammed by? The Socialist Party for f*ck's sake. This isn't news. This is bat sh*t crazy. What he actually said was "Marxism divides people into either oppressors ... read more

How to Miscalculate the Price of Being Rich and Famous
*Rainer Zitelmann* *Taxes, * The message: Look at how “unfair” the American tax system has become. The ultrarich are subject to different laws than everyone else. But is that really the case? ProPublica has published confidential tax data on the super-rich, apparently showing that they pay next to no income tax. The unbelievable claim: Over the past decade, the twenty-five wealthiest Americans paid tax at a total rate of 3.4 percent of their wealth—their “true tax rate.” This figure made headlines all around the world. And you can be sure, such efforts to expose the super-rich f... read more
F-15s vs. Su-35s: America vs. Russia Top Gun Deathmatch
*Sebastien Roblin* *military, Eurasia* The deadly effectiveness of short-range air-to-air missiles—and the fact that aircraft no longer need to be pointed at their adversaries to launch missiles at them—may actually diminish the benefits of superior maneuverability in future close-range encounters. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: **The Russian military makes less use of precision-guided munitions than the United States, and uses a smaller range of types. However, the Su-35 is well equipped to employ them using the ground-attack mode of its Irbis-E radar.* I have been asked to... read more

But it is true – and the reason it is true is because the wealthiest Americans experienced an incredible windfall during the pandemic When it arrived in the United States last March, the COVID-19 pandemic brought with it a crippling economic crisis.

How to Kill North Korea's Air Force in a War
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Asia* [image: North Korea Government] Will the Biho II system be even better if it is eventually finished? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) were added to the Biho in 2013 to increase its effective range. The “Shingung” missile doubles the effective range of the system, out to seven kilometers. The gun and missile configuration is referred to as the “hybrid Biho” and was ordered by the South Korean military in 2015. The Hybrid Biho was the model that prevailed in the Indian competition against the Tunguska and Pantsir. S... read more
F-4 Phantoms Helped Turkey's President Stay in Power During the 2016 Coup
*David Axe* *Turkey, Middle East* Erdogan ordered loyal forces to arrest some 7,000 suspected coup-supporters, including hundreds of senior officers. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Loyal forces helped Erdogan remain in power. On the night of July 15, 2016, elements of the Turkish military rose up against Pres. Recep Tayyip Erdogan — and very nearly succeeded in killing or capturing their controversial leader. A few military units remained steadfastly loyal to the embattled president. Among them — the 1st Main Jet Base in Eskisehir in northwestern Turkey. The base’s F-4E Termina... read more
America Won World War I by Copying a British Gun Design (Sort Of)
*Warfare History Network* *History, * The "American Enfield" was a massive upgrade for soldiers. *Key Point: *I didn’t like the British guns so well. I don’t think they were as accurate as our American rifles.” In director Howard Hawks’s 1941 film classic, Sergeant York, then-Corporal Alvin York, portrayed by Gary Cooper, single-handedly knocks out more than 30 German machine-gun nests and, with little assistance, captures 132 enemy soldiers. In the process, the former conscientious objector from Tennessee drops 25 Germans with 25 shots, many fired from his trusty 1903 U.S. Spr... read more
The Endless Frontier Act is Deeply Flawed
*Anthony B. Kim* *National Security, Americas* To be more effective in responding to Beijing’s threat to U.S. national security and foreign interests, Washington’s strategy must factor in a greater understanding of the Chinese economy, as well as expose its grave lack of transparency and accountability. Last month, as the Senate wrapped up its work on the Endless Frontier Act, which has expanded and been renamed the United States Innovation and Competition Act, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) observed that the United States is at a crossroads in its strategy to counter the threat posed by... read more

Things My Father Taught Me
My father is in his mid-eighties and still plenty peppy. Still the smartest person I know. He and my mother celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary last week. They got married the summer before she started a teaching job and before he started his senior year of college. One of his graduation pictures includes infant me. Who let those children get married? By the time he graduated, he had a solid job lined up engineering for an underground mining equipment company. He'd earned that kind of gig by being a hard working, serious student, and that was probably only because my grandp... read more

Mixing and Matching COVID-19 Vaccines
Given the ever-changing narrative on COVID-19 vaccines, it is almost impossible for a layperson to understand exactly what is safe and what is part of the ongoing Phase 3 trials. A recent graphic found on the website of the School of Pharmacy at the University of Waterloo adds to that confusion, particularly given that mixing and matching of vaccines was NOT part of the original vaccine program. Here is the graphic which is supposed to allow vaccine consumers to determine whether they are fully vaccinated: Basically, the graphic is telling laypeople that they should not be... read more
THE DISAPPEARANCE OF STRONG WHITE MALES ~ TWO ARTICLES
ED Noor: Recently I was SHOCKED to find the above cartoon on a public site of, regretably liberal European cartoons. The task of such schlock is to portray White men as weak, effeminate ~ submissive to black superiority. White women are less likely than white men to date outside their race. They need more propaganda to do it. But it is worth it because a woman can be a mother far fewer times than a man can be a father. Therefore, women are less expendable than men from the point of view of preserving our race. So white women are naturally the number one target of a campaign of ge... read more

The development, described in a report from Russia’s TASS news agency, included other escorts on the flight to include Danish F-16 fighters and a Swedish Gripen aircraft. The escort was fundamentally peaceful and supportive, as it took place in neutral waters.

*Michael Peck* *Missile Defense, Americas* Massed salvos of cruise missiles and armed drones could devastate U.S. overseas bases. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Pentagon should take another look at defending its overseas bases. U.S. missile defense has focused so much on stopping ballistic missiles from hitting the American homeland, that it has neglected another pressing threat.

North Korea's Generals Are Scared: South Korea Wants an Aircraft Carrier
*Sebastien Roblin* *North Korea, Asia* An aircraft carrier would more significantly increase South Korea’s ability to contribute to regional security alliances or multi-national expeditions, both symbolically and materially. Carrier aviation has seen a renaissance of sorts among Washington’s military allies due in large part to the advent of the F-35B stealth jump jet, which can operate from affordable amphibious carriers. Nowhere is that trend more curious or controversial than South Korea, a country one would expect to have little use for a carrier given that its primary mil... read more

680 Global Leaders Urge Biden To End ‘Israeli Oppression’
More than 680 global leaders, from politicians and Nobel laureates to leading academics and peace advocates, have called on US President Joe Biden to honour his commitments towards protecting the human rights of Palestinians. In an open letter published earlier this week, the group called on Biden to put “human rights at the centre of US foreign policy” and to “help bring an end to Israel’s institutionalised domination and oppression of the Palestinian people”. “A sustainable and just peace – for all people – will remain elusive if US policy holds to a political status quo devoid... read more
To End Racial Capitalism, We Will Need To Take On Policing
Police in the United States act with impunity in targeted neighborhoods, public schools, college campuses, hospitals, and almost every other public sphere. Not only do the police view protesters, Black and Indigenous people, and undocumented immigrants as antagonists to be controlled, they are also armed with military-grade weapons. This police militarization is a process that dates at least as far back as President Lyndon Johnson when he initiated the 1965 Law Enforcement Assistance Act, which supplied local police forces with weapons used in the Vietnam War. The public is now re... read more
What The Corporate-Owned Media Won’t Tell You About The Arrests In Nicaragua
Nicaragua has been under heavy fire from the corporate-owned media lately. The government of Daniel Ortega has arrested several opposition figures in the midst of an upcoming election. The US government and corporate media have been expressing their outrage about what they consider to be the growing dictatorial nature of the Ortega ‘regime’. But there is more to the story than they let on. A deeper investigation shows that the situation is not as clear-cut as they make out. And as is so often the case with Latin America, it falls to independent media to add some nuance and balance... read more

Cranky NY Times Lashes Out At Right, Claims Virus ‘Far More’ Trump’s Fault Than Xi
By Clay Waters ~ The front page of Friday’s New York Times featured the presumably rehabilitated Jonathan Weisman, who spent a long time in the paper’s doghouse for offending radical Democrats on his Twitter feed. His latest story is surely safe territory: “With Midterms in Sight, ‘Crisis’ Is Watchword for Republicans.” The text box: “A … Continue reading "Cranky NY Times Lashes Out At Right, Claims Virus ‘Far More’ Trump’s Fault Than Xi" read more

Identifying the Luciferian Globalists Implementing the New World Order – Who are the “Jews”?
A year ago this month I published an article that exposed who was behind the Plandemic and the riots that were breaking out in major urban areas across the United States.

This is an update to that article. Nothing has changed as to who is directing this march towards a New World Order, as at the top is a person named "Satan," or ... read more
