1) Information which I released to the Goddess of Liberty’s Freedom Class in Washington through the beloved God Meru alerted many of the students to the existence of this plight, but I wish to repeat my admonishment here for all in the field in order to add the momentum of their loving attention to the needs of the hour.

This Is Problem with Turkey’s Fourth-Generation Tank, the Altay
*Mark Episkopos* *Turkey, Middle East* Despite being conceived and branded as such, the Altay is hardly a fully indigenous product. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Not only is the Altay tank deeply reliant on foreign components, but that reliance has proven to be a major procurement liability for Turkey. Given its ongoing challenges in sourcing key components, it is difficult to see how the Altay can make it into service by Ankara’s optimistic projection of this year. Turkey is forging ahead with ambitious plans to field a fourth-generation main battle tank (MBT). Ankara... read more

Quick Note On The Taliban Defeat of the Pentagon
The crushing defeat that the Taliban are putting on the Pentagon forces in Afghanistan right now cannot have gone unnoticed by Russia, North Korea, Iran, Venezuela and China, and surely not by countries that are military allies of the USSA, like the Ukraine, Taiwan, South Korea and more. The whole world is watching this. Biden is sending in 5,000 Marines and Army Airborne troops right now. What happens when/if the Taliban seize control of the Kabul airport, and the Amerikanskis run out of ammo and C-rations? Will the Taliban have any reason at all to show mercy after having been po... read more
Taiwan Is Rapidly Preparing for War with China. Will It Be Enough?
*Mark Episkopos* *Taiwan Military, Asia* Taiwanese officials announced earlier this month that the Army’s command structure is being overhauled to facilitate joint operations between its services. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *“Taiwan ‘independence’ means war.” In early April, Chinese officials boasted that Taiwan’s military “won’t stand a chance” if China chose to invade. Beijing’s recent military bluster is not entirely unfounded: according to a series of wargames held in prior years, current U.S. military assets in the Pacific region likely cannot prevent the “fait acco... read more

Bye , bye Miss American pie...
Time to say goodbye to America. And, despite the repeated moans from American TV news - and the lies - it truly is goodbye. The U.S. decided to enter World War Two in late December and, no, it was not because of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. The American wealthy wanted a war before that - and the Japanese knew they did. In fact, that's why the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour. In 1941, U.S. capitalists saw British overwhelmed by the Germans. U.S. capitalists saw their golden chance. The British Empire in the far east was wide open. For American capitalists, t... read more

Intellectuals Versus Politicians in the Roman Republic
When Cicero accused Mark Antony and Octavian Caesar of destroying Roman freedoms, Octavian was outraged. In 43 BC, Octavian had Cicero executed. To remind the Romans of the exact nature of the crime that Cicero had committed, he had Cicero’s hands chopped off and nailed to the Senate door, so that the senators and the masses could see the fate of the hands that had dared to pen a diatribe against Antony. Octavian was trying to portray himself as a defender of Antony—that is why he claimed that he had Cicero executed for the crime of tarnishing Antony’s reputation and not his own. Th... read more

UK: Poorer pupils are more likely than ever to miss out on top university courses
Poorer pupils are more likely than ever to miss out on top university courses, experts have warned, as this year’s A-level results widen the gap between private and state schools. The proportion of A-level students given top grades has reached a record high, with nearly half achieving an A or above, after cancelled exams meant marks were determined by teachers. But data from regulator Ofqual showed the increase in A grades was 50 per cent higher in independent schools than in secondary comprehensives – prompting fears this would combine with the record number of university appli... read more
