Considering the public media attention and concern about possible expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), it is worth reminding people about NATO’s bloody history in Africa.

One Democrat intelligent enough to see the problems
Just the News: Former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard electrified a conservative audience Friday night with a stinging attack on President Biden, big government Democrats and media elites who she said were imposing cancel culture on America to crush free speech and the Bill of Rights. "We have too many people in positions of power whose foremost responsibility is to protect our freedoms and uphold our God-given rights, and yet they are the ones who are actually trying to take these rights away from us," Gabbard said during an address at the Ronald Reagan dinner a... read more

‘Anonymous’ Hackers Declare War on Russia
*Trevor Filseth* *Russia-Ukraine War, Ukraine* Anonymous already targeted several Russian government websites, including those of the Kremlin, the State Duma, and the Russian Ministry of Defense. Cyberattacks have been a persistent feature of the Russia-Ukraine war in its opening days. During the initial assault, dozens of Ukrainian websites were taken down by distributed denial of service, or DDoS, attacks, and data-wiping malware was detected on several government computers soon after. Although the cyberwarfare battle has so far remained decisively in Russia’s favor, Ukraine ha... read more

President Putin Didn’t Spark World War III, He Just Averted It!
A much larger war that could dangerously escalate into World War III was averted by Russia’s preemptive special operation in Ukraine aimed at neutralizing the US and NATO’s latent, imminent, and hot threats emanating from that country. This makes Moscow’s military mission truly a peacemaking one since the Eurasian Great […] read more
Hitler and Churchill on Pearl Harbor
To Hitler, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, on 7 December 1941, came as a bolt from the blue, since the Japanese had not informed Berlin of their plans to attack America. He greeted the news with intense joy. He was convinced that the Japanese would keep America occupied in the Pacific, and that would lead to a significant decline in the American supplies to the Soviet Union and Britain. The Tripartite Pact between Germany, Italy, and Japan did not oblige Germany to aid Japan if it were the aggressor. At that time, the German troops were in retreat in Moscow, but Hitler was fill... read more

What do I know
Such a pity Biden is ga ga and Putin is a maniac. But what do I know? I only listen to the media. Once again we’re in *When the Wind Blows *territory. Deja vu all over again. The *credible and true* possibility of imminent worldwide nuclear conflagration. So who should we believe? The BBC? The Alt media?

From the Black Sea to the East Med, do not poke The Russian Bear
This is what happens when a bunch of ragged hyenas, jackals and tiny rodents poke The Bear: a new geopolitical order is born in breathtaking speed. From a dramatic meeting of the Russian Security Council to a history lesson delivered by President Putin and the subsequent birth of the Baby Twins – the People’s Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk – all the way to their appeal to President Putin to intervene militarily to expel the NATO-backed Ukrainian bombing-and-shelling forces from Donbass, it was a seamless process. read more

From Jenna Orkin US and Russian Physicians Warn War in Ukraine Risks Global Nuclear 'Catastrophe' Top economist Mohamed El-Erian said the Federal Reserve won't be able to tighten monetary policy as aggressively now that Russia has invaded Ukraine. Many on Wall Street expected several Fed rate hikes in 2022, starting with an increase of 50 basis points next month. Earlier this week, JPMorgan even predicted nine interest rate hikes this year of 25 basis points each time. "This takes 50 basis points completely off the table," El-Erian told CNBC Thursday morning. "It takes the 8, 9 hike... read more

Gilead, our March book club selection
To avoid watching the news and the mess Biden has made of our lives, I've been reading the March book club selection while on the exercycle. Gilead by Marilynne Robison promises to be an interesting read, and I believe it's the first of a series. So I've looked for a few reviews. Her first novel was "Housekeeping" but it was about 24 years before she wrote her second. But Gilead, a book about fathers and sons, where Housekeeping was a book about girls and women, and fragmentary where one of Housekeeping's achievements was its fluid narrative completeness, takes an opposing narrato... read more
