This week brings us another new batch of damning articles from the pro-Ukrainian Western media. The most telling of these comes from German Die Welt, which exposes how nearly all NATO ‘insiders’ secretly whisper among themselves that Ukraine stands no chance, but they dare not say so in public: https://www.welt.de/politik/ausland/plus252746254/Russlands-Krieg-Die-duestere-Ukraine-Realitaet-ueber-die-Nato-Insider-nur-anonym-sprechen-wollen.htmlIn Brussels, no one expected that Ukraine will win their lost territories back. Only no one wants to talk about it – at least officially. Die Welt has spoken with a number of insiders that give reasons for their gloomy outlook with one of Europe's self-inflicted fact.Excuse the slightly wonky autotranslation,...

I haven't been following Britain well at all, and snooping around to try to catch up, I came across some arrest information from 2016 for content posted on Social media. If it was that bad in 2016, I can't imagine what social media policing is like there now. Many in Britain are posting massive protest videos on X.com. Are they going to be charged with 'inciting to riot'? Prayers up.Two clarifications:1. The "3,300" figure i(below) is likely a reference to a 2017 piece in The Times.More than 3,300 people were detained and questioned last year over so-called trolling on social...

Below, in order of presentation, are my comments, the link and X.com post of the 5 minute video, and TRANSCRIPT.I saw this 5 minute video of a longer interview, between a BBC reporter and Elon Musk, some time ago and it has stayed on my mind. I couldn't recall who the interviewer worked for and my mind supplied the nick name 'Rat Boi' for him based on the reporter's behavior. He's a BBC reporter asserting that hate speech is on the rise since Musk took over, yet was unprepared and unable to supply any proof, but instead supplied child-like evasions.I...

We started off with a bang the first month of Q3 and have hit a plateau. We're within reach, but we need to pedal faster to stay on track and avoid frantic last minute measures. Looking at Q3, I see FReepers have already donated $25,578! (THANK YOU DEAR FREEPERS!) The sooner FReepers pile on the remaining donations, the more likely we will avoid the nail biting 'excitement' of trying to get 'er done. :DThe Biden economy has made it harder on FReepers and yet FReepers persevere in working to Make America Great Again. Could you put in your donation today,...
