This how they are ramping it up...on a more local level too. Its a long read, but the charts show you their interim goals and their methodology is all laid out. Will you still be denying it when your local govt. forces you out of your "private" home because one day you find out that your property tax payments were never really paid because your bank account is suddenly mysteriously empty?
[Breaking right: Putin drunk as a skunk on Russian TV today. Not a joke.]
He’s not falling down drunk. I’d say rumors that he’s at death’s door may be exaggerated. He doesn’t look like he’s chewing the carpet, although the calm may just be an act.
A hundred years afterwards, Thomas Carlyle attached the disparaging name of War of Jenkin's Ear, which would be like calling the Vietnam War the War of the Tonkin Gulf Incident and making no reference to the Cold War and Communist aggression.
Something like the same is now done with the Russian invasion of Ukraine by calling it a simple border dispute. No one with a lick of sense or actually believes that to be the case.
You'd have to be a Conservative and an American to get it.
In most conflicts, Americans tend to polarize quickly, making one guy the "good guy" and the other guy the "bad guy." But sometimes, both are bad guys. I'm resisting the narrative and thinking that this is one of those times. Aside from the fate of innocents, I'm not sympathetic either to Ukraine or to Russia.
As for Tucker, my take is that he is less concerned about the geopolitics of this situation and more concerned about the damage to the taxpayer, the farmer, the supply chain, the consumer—all of whom will face privations because of this murky situation in which there really is no clear hero, and no definition of "freedom" that is completely legitimate.
It might serve you to actually read a couple of articles before making such an uninformed comment.
The majority of Ukrainian Orthodox are UOC-MP, and still the strongest church in Ukraine. The Orthodox Church of Ukraine was formed and supported by Poroshenko in 18, and most of the orthodox in Ukraine do not recognize it.
Kiev IS the birthplace of Russian Orthodoxy.
I would point out here, although I am not Orthodox but have studied it for awhile, that Orthodoxy is one communion and one faith. Which is why this particular division is of evil forces intent on destroying Eastern Orthodoxy.
(Actually, probably all of Christianity except the approved versions.)
Tucker Carlson has been more and more hysterical because he’s no longer the #1 rated show on Fox News.
The Five is now the #1 rated show on Fox News and has been beating Tucker by 200,000-400,000 viewers each day for months.

Ratings desperation as Tucker’s audience continues to decline over his Putin puffing.
It does seem that Tucker is consistent in his hatred of Zelensky and the government of Ukraine. It’s unfortunate that he is not too consistent in his hatred of Putin and the Russian war to destroy innocent people and Ukraine. It would be refreshing to hear Tucker condemn Putin and his henchmen for their crimes against humanity.

For the guy to put pro-Russian guests on pretty much exclusively - that’s not about the expense of the war - it’s cheering Putin on.
In terms of bang for the buck, there’s no comparison. Ukraine has killed more Russians in a single year than we killed Taliban in the 20 years we were there. And we are spending roughly the same amount of money in Ukraine as we did in Afghanistan.
Tucker Carlson has lost more than 400,000 viewers since September of this year because of his pro-Putin ratings. That’s a ton of viewers to lose in 3 months.
Maybe Tucker should release his selfies at Hunter Biden’s birthday party if he wants to get his ratings up.
Last month Tucker was alarming the American public that there would be no diesel fuel by Thanksgiving . Guess what , it turned out to be no problem. Tucker gets it right on some issues but is full of shit on others.
Your comment is utterly delusional and naive.
N00b, you are making a total laughingstock out of yourself. hah hah You joined here two days ago and are sounding all pro commie.
Why don’t you post where you are getting all those “facts” about home ownership” all over the world and links to the other bs you posted.d
Oh and you must be a “true conservative”. LOL
dforest saud: Why don’t you post where you are getting all those “facts” about home ownership” all over the world and links to the other bs you posted.
OK Here ya go.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_home_ownership_rate
As of 2018 there are 48.2 million privately owned homes in the United States. Tell me who is going to kick all these people out of their homes in the so called Great Reset? Do you think all the military, ex miltary police and law enforcment and tens of millions of gun owners are going to allow an elite to kick their 85 year old granny from her home and take their home as well?
The Great Reset is total garbage and nonsense. Countries the world over are encourging their citizens to buy homes. It creates stable economies, a tax base and every world leader except for the maybe the nut in NK knows it. Look it up.
Nearly every single country in the world is encouraging private home ownership.
In 2020, the rate of home ownership in KSA reached 62% and will meet the target of 70% by 2030. The Sakani programme has helped more than 210,000 Saudi families in 2021, bringing the total number of families benefiting from the programme to 1.2 million. The mortgage market in KSA has also grown significantly.

Jul 20, 2020 — Under Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia aims to increase homeownership to 60 percent by the end of this year. (SPA file photo). Short Url.
Who is gonna kick you out of your paid for home?

In America, the notice comes from the County Sheriff and is usually for non-payment of property taxes.
I have no idea how it works in other countries, but usually habitations can be condemned by local health authorities or declared uninhabitable due to the presence of toxins, such as would be found in a meth lab or some rogue producer of chemically-based products.
The Netherlands and Germany are confiscating thousands of farms. Since they are often multi-generational, one assumes they are *paid for*. The State wants the land for a Smart City that will be built across 3 borders, likely just another incremental step towards blurring national boundaries before eliminating them entirely.
Globally, people face an alliance of governments & corporations complicit and/or coerced into re-making the world into a fascist fantasy under various guises. In America and elsewhere, the judiciary is neither independent nor just.
When laws can be enacted that force people to violate their bodily autonomy, laws can also be passed to violate their property rights.
Where sufficient laws cannot be passed, people can be lured into using property as collateral and then, when faced with a sudden economic crisis, people lose their property to the banks, who then sell it for whatever they can get or gut it under cover of environmental restoration.
Currently, large numbers of single-family homes are owned by corporations, most of them directly or indirectly subject to 3 large investment firms/hedge funds. Fewer people own their homes/property.
Haven’t even touched on HOAs or historical trusts.
Exactly - big difference between those who just don't think it's our business either way, and those who are rooting for a Russian victory. Tucker clearly is the latter whether he admits it or not.
I used to watch him fairly regularly until this war. After watching the crap he was spinning pre-war and for a few weeks after it began, I haven't watched him since. And from the clips I have seen, he's gotten worse.
...Orthodoxy is one communion and one faith.
____________________________________
We have known Eastern Orthodox, including some monks with a rural Skete. The political, property, and financial aspects appear decentralized and in some instances, the various national organizations compete for what appears to be sponsorship of particular congregations. It was that organization that owned the property.
I speak as an observer, but I do recall the Skete in question changing from one to another national organization. It was difficult as an outsider to understand, but the changes seem to have concentrated on the national designation.
As to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it is the greatest threat to NATO since the end of the Cold War. We may grumble that, with a few honorable exceptions, Europe does not pay its way in NATO, but the Russian invasion of Ukraine must be defeated for the sake of America's national interest. A defeat of Russia and a free and independent Ukraine as a NATO member and US ally would make clear that the US (and its dollars) continue to be the strongest power in the world.
The result would be that we can continue to finance our budget-busting Medicare and Social Security programs by borrowing instead of having to drastically and abruptly cut benefits and raise taxes. I prefer that we continue to keep our old folks in good health and enjoying their final years of life. In time, the boon of cheap financing offered by dollar supremacy will end, but it is better if that happens gradually and only after new productive technologies have made the US and world economies prosperous enough to absorb the burden without a major dislocation.
As for Tucker Carlson, I imagine that he knows little of this, which for him (and many others) makes US support for Ukraine hard to understand as beneficial, even essential to American interests. And, contrary to what is often assumed of faraway wars, there are good guys and bad guys. Here's one of the best ways to tell which is which as between Russia and Ukraine: the chronic international miscreant ruled by a corrupt thug who has invaded a neighbor, claimed slices of its territory for itself, and deliberately targeted and terrorized civilians is the bad guy.
