AdminM, Medical Kidnap - 4 hours ago
The tragic loss of life and crippling effects of the experimental COVID shots are truly heartbreaking. These bioweapons falsely referred to as "vaccines" are indiscriminately being injected into populations around the world, mainly into people who do not need any kind of COVID vaccine to begin with, as so many people have already contracted whatever COVID-19 is, and developed natural immunity, as what happens every year with the seasonal influenza. Many doctors have spoken out about these crimes against humanity, as effective treatments for COVID already exist, and patients are be...

A startling animation of post-“vaccine” mortality worldwide
From Vera Sharav: (via markcrispinmiller.com) How to explain the great disparity in mortality rates following the Covid shot? If these greatly disparate death rates really represent the data, it seems to confirm a suspicion that I’ve had for a long time: namely, that different countries (and states?) may have received different formulations of the COVID-19 sera.

Turkey Wants a Tank of Its Own. But Can They Pull It Off?
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Turkey, Eurasia* Perhaps tired of depending on foreign tank procurement, and exacerbated by Turkey’s many recent kerfuffles with NATO Allies, Ankara has turned inward. Their Altay main battle tank, built and (mostly) designed in Turkey, could remedy this situation. Here's What You Need to Remember: Despite being trumpeted as an all-Turkish design, the Altay tank leans heavily on a number of foreign components. In particular, the Altay program would like to have copied the engine and transmission that South Korea’s K2 tank uses, of a German design. This may prove...

“If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” – Attributed to Sir Winston Churchill
