The corporate state is intent, apparently, on ramping up its propaganda against so-called “climate deniers,” presumably to set the rhetorical groundwork for more extreme legal and social action against them in the future. So it dispatched something called its “climate envoy,” John Kerry, to Scotland with that aim.Here is the most incendiary portion of his comments:Without facts or economics on their side, they flatly deny what is happening to our planet and what we must do to save it. They incite a movement against what they falsely label ‘climate change fanaticism,’ as they conveniently forget that the dictionary definition of...

Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then...

Trump has broadly denied any wrongdoing in the charges brought against him and has claimed politically motivated forces are targeting him in a “witch hunt” propagated by the Biden...

JUST IN — Tucker Carlson is reportedly in discussions to interview Vladimir Putin, as reported by RT. Notably, the NSA spied on Tucker Carlson to prevent a pre-war interview with Putin, potentially stopping the American public from gaining insight into Putin's perspective before the US-Russia proxy war in Ukraine. Tucker's reputation for asking insightful questions, particularly those critical of the U.S. military-industrial complex, coupled with his potential to provide Putin with an unfiltered platform, adds a notable layer of significance. Ironically, those who champion democratic ideals while advocating for an escalation of the conflict between major nuclear powers seem determined...
