With permanent war and massive psy-war and social engineering, they hope to keep the U.S. under control in a hideous 21st century version of George Orwell's 1984. read more

Judge rejects Jan. 6 prosecutor's double standard sentencing
PJ Media: A federal judge blasted U.S. prosecutors seeking excessive sentences for some nonviolent participants in the Capitol riot, pointing to the treatment of BLM rioters as an example of a clear double standard. “I know that the government believes that the January 6th cases are *sui generis* [one of a kind] and therefore can’t be compared to other cases. But I don’t agree,” said U.S. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden. “It does feel like the government has had two standards here, and I can’t abide by that,” he added, noting that before January 6, he couldn’t remember an inst... read more
'British Bullshit Corporation' Whitewashes Ukrainian Nazis
*The Orwellian reality of the Beeb should make it the world’s “most busted” propaganda outlet* By Finian Cunningham There is no Nazi presence in Ukraine, the Azov Battalion are merely excellent fighters, and Russian claims of denazifying the regime are cynical falsifications to justify aggression, according to the BBC. In a sneaking way, one has to admire the aplomb of the British Broadcasting Corporation which promotes itself as one of the world’s “most trusted” news brands. While it smears and sneers at Russian news media as “state-owned” and “Kremlin propaganda machines”, ... read more

Democrats rural voter problem
*National Journal:* *Rural voters playing outsized role in battleground House races* *Over half of this year’s toss-up races are in districts with a sizable rural constituency. That reality makes holding the House—or even staying within striking distance—more challenging for Democrats.* The Democrats' energy policies have been a disaster for rural voters regardless of ethnicity. The gas to get to the grocery store becomes a hardship. For rural voters who are farmers, it is even worse because fuelling their tractors and other implements also costs more.

Mitigate the Acidic, Negative Effects of Coffee by Adding This One Ingredient to Your Next Cup
Coffee is one of those products that has a 50/50 split when it comes to health benefits and health risks. While some people do extremely well with it, others feel jittery or experience other side effects that aren’t enough to offset the benefits. What few people realize, however, is that not all coffee is created equal. Caffeine has protective effects against Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, dementia, stroke, and heart disease; it also lowers the risks of oral cancers, and type 2 diabetes. At the same time, caffeine is a drug that can be addictive, and coffee can promote anxiet... read more

When it comes to the legal use of force between states, it is considered unimpeachable fact that in accordance with the intent of the United Nations Charter to ban all conflict, there are only two acceptable exceptions.

The other is the inherent right of individual and collective self-defense, as enshrined in Article 51 of the Charter, which reads as follows: “Nothing in the present Charter sh... read more

Global Food Shortages: How Does Your Garden (Or Pantry) Grow?
The Russian invasion of Ukraine — and the US/EU/NATO sanctions response — doesn’t just up-end the global supply of grain crops (Russia and Ukraine are both top exporters of wheat) and other foods.

Russia is the world’s top fertilizer exporter, followed by China, a top “trade war” target of the last few years. What does this mean for Americans? Probably not starvation in the streets, but food prices are going to keep soaring, probably even more so than they have the last couple of... read more
