Russia to ban entry for foreign nationals until May: Government Press Service
*Photo from RT* The astonishing anomaly, the outstanding outlier, the elephant in the room of all nations on this earth during the Covid - 9/11 crisis is *the response of Russia to the "plague"*. There has been a suspicious silence, a pregnant pause and most of all, as my mother would say, a "*damning with faint praise*" of the pandemic "Official Story". Putin has said nothing, nada, *nyet! *So far he's failed to board the pandemic bus, that's packed with all the other world "leaders".

Can Alpha Waves Reveal The Bias In Your Brain?
Though implicit bias - the belief that you are prejudiced, it's just a matter of degree - is controversial, that's only because it lacks scientific footing. A new study seeks to advance that. We all have likes and dislikes but when it becomes bias or prejudice is subjective. If you prefer dark haired men, does that mean you are prejudiced against redheads? It does, in things like the Implicit Association Test. read more

If Moscow's financial outlook doesn't change, there won't be many more new fighters anytime soon. But buying into the Su-57 program won’t magically solve the program’s problems.
