Mariupol – Ukrainian soldiers surrounded in Azovstal reveal their faces as terrorists and hostage-takers
After shelling the new firing positions that Ukrainian soldiers had set up in Azovstal during the evacuation of civilians held in the factory, the Russian army organized a new ceasefire and new humanitarian corridors over three days to continue the evacuation. But instead of letting out the civilians still in the Azovstal basement, the Ukrainian soldiers revealed their true face as terrorists and hostage-takers. read more

"National Self-Perception"
*"National Self-Perception"* by Jeff Thomas "This above all: to thine own self be true." "Bill Shakespeare had a talent for phrasing basic truths well, and this quote is no exception. (Even if you lie to others, don’t lie to yourself, or you’re in real trouble.) Much has been said about the American self-image, going back to its inception as an upstart nation that imagined it could succeed as a republic, as Athens had failed to do. And, indeed, the US encountered the same basic problem as Athens: having once created a republic – a nation in which the rights of the individual are fo... read more

Otherworldly 'Tentacled' Creature Encountered in Southern Arizona Desert

They sat still for all this which suggests mental interaction. The rest of us would have stood up and tossed a stick. Then it interacted by rolling over them and disapating then and there. Again slime mold behavior. The dust coating likely brought it to earth if we are talking abou... read more

UN Secretary-General Must be Non-Risk Averse, & Play a More Pivotal and Active Role
NEW YORK, May 10 (IPS) - “Whatever the circle of hell in which we live, I think we are free to break out of it.” – Jean-Paul Sartre, Preface to the Deutsche Gramaphon recording of No Exit Mr. Vladimir Putin’s illegal War of Aggression in Ukraine, launched on February 24, 2022, brought into stark relief the fractured state of Global Peace and Security. Militarized conflicts, civilian deaths and forced migration in the tens of millions have been ongoing for decades, with little or no relief to the beleaguered victims.

Possible 'Invisible' Entity Climbing Down Tree in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania
As I have posted, it is efficient to assign all curious sightings to the Giant Sloth which can project images and also disappear and likely causes the glimme4rman effect as well. This does look like a Giant Sloth, not least because they are arboreal and no one has ever seen a bigfoot treed. What is now clear is that a treed Giant Sloth does not have to swing from tree to tree to escape pursuit, but can make itself disappear and freeze in place. This is a huge advantage for an ambush hunter and also makes other events a lot clearer. By the way, I now have ample reports confimin... read more
How Alito’s Draft Opinion on Abortion Rights Would Change America
[image: Protestors at the Supreme Court about abortion rights] What is certain is that the abortion issue is once more back with us and the past dispensation of the last half century is likely to change. This dispensation has been revealed to be corrupt as it has become a commercial harvesting machine as well. None of this makes the present dispensation pleasing to look upon and compares morally to Chinese organ harvesting from political prisoners. In short, it stinks and cries for a moral resolution. The real problem is that any pregnancy completely alter and redirects a girl... read more

Finance Drives World to Stagflation
SYDNEY and KUALA LUMPUR, May 10 (IPS) - The world is being pressed by financial interests to raise interest rates, ostensibly to check inflation. After the US Federal Reserve started raising interest rates, more central banks have been doing likewise. Considering inflation’s contemporary causes, such ‘follow the leader’ central bank mimicry cannot check it except by slowing economies. Worse, this has meant taking on huge new risks, seriously damaging world economic prospects in the medium and long-term.

Remember, it’s not “hypocrisy”. “The Justices have security,” she sniffed.
