Cardiologist Medical Doctor who Wanted to Punch Anti-Vaxxers in the Face DEAD After COVID Booster Shot
A 52-year-old cardiologist, hospital director and hockey coach is dead after spending much of 2021 belittling the non-vaxxed. Dr. Sohrab Lutchmedial promoted mRNA injections for 12-year-olds and made the false, very dangerous claim that the shots are “undeniably safe.” Dr. Lutchmedial then advocated violence against so-called anti-vaxxers, saying he wants to “punch those people in the face.” Whether you call it ironic, prophetic or something else, Dr. Lutchmedial said via Facebook on March 5, “99.999999% of all the decisions and actions we make during our lives means absolutely no... read more
The Liao River Valley Is The Birthplace Of 100 Trans-Eurasian Dialects And Languages

People speaking nearly 100 dialects and languages across 5,000 miles have a shared genetic ancestry stretching back 9,000 years, the research found. read more read more

"Supply Chain Disruptions Will Continue"
*"Supply Chain Disruptions Will Continue"* By Jim Rickards "Forty percent of all the cargo into the United States comes through the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

Russia’s Antey-Class Submarines Are Getting a New Lease on Life

During the Cold War, the Soviet Navy operated a sizable submarine force. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Russian Navy fell into hard times and that included its fleet of submarines.

Rittenhouse defense ask judge for mistrial alleging prosecution misconduct
Washington Examiner: Kyle Rittenhouse's lawyers are asking for a mistrial with prejudice after prosecutors ignored rulings the judge previously made on evidence that could be introduced as well as their line of questioning. If granted, the state would not be able to retry its case against the 18-year-old accused of fatally shooting two people and injuring another during a night of violent confrontations in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in August 2020. Judge Bruce Schroeder also lashed out at prosecutor Thomas Binger on Wednesday for asking Rittenhouse about his silence following the shoot... read more

Texas Church Injects Young Children with COVID Shot in Halloween Celebration – Christian Churches Now Working with the CDC to Abuse and Murder Children
Mt. Hebron Missionary Baptist Church in Garland, Texas, is reportedly participating with the Satanic U.S. Government by injecting young children with COVID-19 gene altering shots. CBS 11 is reporting that the church sponsored a Halloween event where nurses were on site to inject young children, and this was even before the shots were given emergency use authorization for children ages 5 to 11. Even worse, the FDA's authorization is for smaller doses for this age group, but nurses at the church allegedly injected young children with the full adult dosage.

World War III in East Asia: Could it Happen?
*James Holmes* *World War III, * Lessons from World War II tell us the risk certainly exists. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Western powers failed to take Hitler seriously for far too long. They afforded Germany time to rearm and launch aggressive moves against the Rhineland, Czechoslovakia, and ultimately Poland. The hour is late—but not that late.

Despite ongoing global warming, the Arctic is one of the world’s coldest locations—and Russia may be one of the countries best positioned to get ready to take it. Not because of any new hypersonic missiles or somewhat stealthy jet designs, but because of icebr... read more
