Thanks to the latest release of the “Twitter Files,” we now know without a doubt that the entire “Russia disinformation” racket was a massive disinformation campaign to undermine US elections and perhaps even push “regime change” inside the United States after Donald Trump was elected president in 2016 … The whole “Russia disinformation” hoax was a shocking return to the McCarthyism of the 1950s and in some ways even worse. Making lists of American individuals and non-profits to be targeted and “cancelled” as being in the pay of foreigners is despicable. Such fraudulent actions have caused real-life damages that need to be addressed.
Douglas Macgregor, an expert on military affairs and international relations, speaks knowledgeably and bluntly with Judge Andrew Napolitano. Russia is slowly but steadily winning the war in Ukraine, Macgregor says. He also says that Ukraine is nearing military and economic collapse, and that US officials have been misleading Americans for the past year about the reality of the conflict. European leaders in the NATO countries, he also says, have grave and growing misgivings about US policy regarding Russia and Ukraine. Macgregor is a retired US Army colonel and government official, and an author, consultant, and television commentator. He played an important role on the battlefield in the 1990-91 Gulf War and the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. Runtime: 26 mins.
… Contrary to early Beltway hopes and expectations, Russia neither collapsed internally nor capitulated to the collective West’s demands for regime change in Moscow. Washington underestimated Russia’s societal cohesion, its latent military potential, and its relative immunity to Western economic sanctions. As a result, Washington’s proxy war against Russia is failing … NATO’s members were never strongly united behind Washington’s crusade to fatally weaken Russia. The governments of Hungary and Croatia are simply acknowledging the wider European public’s opposition to war with Russia and lack of support for Washington’s desire to postpone Ukraine’s foreseeable defeat. Though sympathetic to the Ukrainian people, Berlin did not support all-out war with Russia on Ukraine’s behalf.
Croatian President Zoran Milanovic on Monday offered more criticism of the policy of arming Ukraine, saying that by providing tanks and other heavy weapons, his fellow NATO members are prolonging the war. “I am against sending any lethal arms there. It prolongs the war,” Milanovic said. “What is the goal? Disintegration of Russia, change of the government? There is also talk of tearing Russia apart. This is mad.” Milanovic said the war was provoked by the US and NATO … “What is the goal of this war? A war against a nuclear power that is at war in another country? Is there a conventional way to defeat such a country? Who pays the price? Europe. America pays the least,” he added. Milanovic said what the Western powers are doing in Ukraine is “deeply immoral” and said that Crimea will never be taken from Russia.
A new survey of the European public’s attitude about the war in Ukraine conducted by the Századvég Foundation’s Project Europe shows that the policies of most European political leaders are ignoring the desires of their own populations as they escalate the conflict in Ukraine … Overall, 82 percent of respondents across the European Union agree that Russia and Ukraine should be compelled into peace talks to end the war. In the Balkans and Central Europe, the population is overwhelmingly in favor of peace, while their governments, compelled by Brussels and Washington, continue to escalate the conflict by providing arms to Kiev even against their own national interests … The survey revealed that only one tenth of Europeans believe that sanctions primarily harm Russia. This is again in stark contrast to the policies pursued by their political leaders.
… Of all the bad places I’ve been to in the United States, I don’t know if I’ve ever been to a city that’s as vastly rundown, abandoned and out of control as Oakland, California. It’s a very ugly, rough, littered, dangerous place where the laws aren’t enforced and the crime is staggering … Oakland is drug filled. It’s a graffiti covered shell of its former self where you can’t let your guard down for a minute … At least in the greater downtown area … Other large areas just outside of downtown are home to hundreds of people camped out in makeshift shanties among piles of trash with rats … Oakland is hell on earth. It's lawless, it's rundown, it's ugly it's dangerous, it's woke … Oakland’s problems don’t just go block after block. it's mile after mile. And very few people I talked to who live here think there’s a chance it can be saved.
In his proclamation marking February as National Black History Month, President Biden said part of celebrating the legacy of Black Americans means acknowledging that America has never lived up to its promise that all people should be treated equal … Black students are also more likely to face disciplinary action than their white counterparts … Black Americans also face disparities in employment; the typical white worker earns more than 24 percent per hour more than the typical Black worker … “During National Black History Month, we honor and continue the work of Black Americans who have created a more fair and inclusive democracy, helping our Nation move closer to the realization of its full promise for everyone,” said Biden.
London’s Metropolitan Police recruited officers who are “functionally illiterate” in English in order to increase diversity, according a member of His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary. The diversity and inclusion push from the woke leadership of the largest police force in Britain has seen the Met accept applicants who can barely write in English, HMI Matt Parr said. .. The HMI said that there is a “risk of recruiting the wrong people,” saying that he has heard of trainee officers “who are, on paper at least, functionally illiterate in English”. Par noted that this has already had a trickle-down impact on the force’s ability to function, saying that “just writing up crime reports has become quite difficult in some areas.” “So in that drive there is at least anecdotal evidence that they have lowered standards,” he said.
A major Kentucky newspaper published an op-ed on National Holocaust Remembrance Day telling Jewish people that they “do not have a monopoly on persecution and atrocities.” Even though the January 27 memorial focuses on the monumental tragedy of six million Jews killed by Nazi Germany during the Second World War, the Courier-Journal – part of the USA Today Network owned by parent company Gannet – lectured that the day be used to memorialize “every genocide” for the sake of inclusivity. The op-ed, titled “Holocaust Remembrance Day is a time to remember more than one atrocity,” warned that fixating specifically on the Holocaust during such a memorial results in people “negating and trivializing the horrors of the past and the injustices of today.” It also made a point to remind readers “Hitler was just one of many dictators.”
A Jewish group that commissioned a survey on Holocaust awareness in the Netherlands said Wednesday that the results show "a disturbing lack of awareness of key historical facts about the Holocaust," prompting calls for better education in the nation that was home to diarist Anne Frank and her family. The survey commissioned by the New York-based Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany found that the number of respondents who believe the Holocaust is a myth was higher than in any of the other five nations previously surveyed, with 23 percent of adults under 40 and 12 percent of all respondents believing the Holocaust is a myth or the number of Jews killed has been greatly exaggerated.
A bipartisan group of House lawmakers introduced a bill on Friday that would order a study on Holocaust education in U.S. public schools to help ensure that future generations are taught about the genocide as the number of Holocaust survivors decreases. Lawmakers introduced the bill — titled the Holocaust Education and Antisemitism Lessons (HEAL) Act — on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which marks the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. During a press conference in the Capitol, co-sponsors of the bill raised concerns about the lack of Holocaust education in the U.S. and the future of such education as the number of survivors decreases, in addition to the rise of antisemitism across the country.
