A COMING WORLDWIDE CIVIL WAR? Between 1861 and 1865, this country fought a bloody largely REGIONAL WAR in which an estimated 1.5 million were injured and 700,000 died. (A “civil war” is one having no limits on violence and geography.) The ostensible cause of that war was slavery. How is “slavery” defined? “Slavery: A condition in which one human being was owned by another. A slave was considered by law as property, or chattel, and was deprived of most of the rights ordinarily held by free persons. There is no consensus on what a slave was or on how the...

Everyone knows the woes now affecting the United States, brought to you by the far left. To name them here would run this article far longer than you would want to read. So let’s cut to the chase.

Ukrayinska Pravda Wed, May 18, 2022, 9:17 AM DENYS KARLOVSKYI In captured Melitopol, the Ukrainian resistance movement has managed to blow up a Russian armoured train as it was transporting soldiers and equipment.

Afghanistan’s National Resistance Front, an opposition group, is claiming this evening to be on the verge of victories over the Taliban in several districts in the country’s Northeastern provinces. The NRF, which describes itself as “the last force fighting for the restoration of democracy in Afghanistan,” expressed hopes that these victories were the first steps in an effort to liberate the country from Taliban rule. It noted, though, that it was working without foreign aid that could bolster its efforts. Security analysts, meanwhile, expressed skepticism over whether the NRF could topple the new regime in Kabul, though noting the Taliban...

1. “We believe the Russians are deliberately regrouping themselves and reassessing the progress that they have not made and how to make up the lost time." ... 2. “We believe they have experienced logistic and sustainment challenges. Challenges that we don’t believe they fully anticipated.” They may be running short on fuel, with supply tankers unable to get to them, and the soldiers are facing shortages of food .... Observers suggest routine maintenance has either not been performed or, in the case of many blown-out tires, cheaper Chinese-made tires have been substituted that lose structural integrity if the trucks were...

The warnings began early on the morning of February 25th. Russian special forces were in Kyiv, the authorities said, and they were trying to seize power. Some of the visitors might even have acquired Ukrainian military vehicles; others could be pretending to be international observers. In Podil, a historic neighbourhood in the centre of the city, where the sound of church bells was periodically interrupted by explosions and gunfire, Ukrainian forces opened fire on two military vehicles believed to be Russian. Whether they were the enemy or not is debatable. The bullet-pierced windows and the pools of blood were not....

If the despicable tyrant Fidel Trudeau orders his government thugs to assault and abuse the rights of the protesters all Canadians should start a general strike and shut the entire country down. The fist order of business should be to call in sick for coup-flu and stop all shipping except for food, medicines, and enough fuel for emergency services. If Canadians back down we may be slaves until our grandchildren shoot their way out of communist tyranny.

Political prisoner Jake Lang is serving time in Washington DC for his actions on Jan. 6. He has been imprisoned with no rights for over a year now. Islamic terrorists who murdered Americans have more rights than Jake Lang. The DC elites and corrupt fake news media agree with this. Jake Lang was trampled when Capitol Police pushed Trump supporters down the stairs outside the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Jake was buried under several people when the Capitol police started pushing protesters down the stairs. He was next to Rosanne Boyland who was killed by police when they...

The underlying truths of the grossly mismanaged globally coordinated response to the COVID-19 outbreak are becoming increasingly apparent to common citizens throughout the world. The United States Health and Human Services (HHS) system, once considered the world standard for medical research and for insuring purity, safety and effectiveness of drugs and vaccines, is now being seen by many as corrupt and compromised. Over the next year, additional data documenting and supporting this corruption will continue to emerge. The growing tide of whistleblowers, truth tellers and their lawyers will swell to the point that it will overwhelm the censorship and propaganda...

Americans are increasingly done with mandates in the name of fighting COVID. After almost two years, most have gone back to their pre-pandemic lives and just won’t obey orders from the hysteria echo chamber. Consider Gov. Kathy Hochul’s recent mask-or-vax mandate. More than 30 New York County executives have publicly refused to enforce it, using terms like “Gestapo tactics” and “mask police.” And not just Republican execs: The Democrats in charge of Nassau and Suffolk counties balked, too. ... It’s time for the nation’s leaders to fall back to simply offering advice in most cases: Issuing orders that won’t be...

This week, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a new statewide mask mandate that will take effect on Monday, Dec. 13, citing a rise in case numbers. The mandate requires face masks to be worn in all indoor public places that don’t have a vaccine requirement. “A violation of any provision of this measure is subject to a maximum fine of $1,000 for each violation,” Hochul said in a statement. She also added that “local health departments are being asked to enforce these requirements.” But local governments were essentially blindsided by the announcement, and several counties with Republican executives are...

In this polarized hour, citizens from both sides of the political spectrum are finding common cause in resisting COVID-19 vaccine mandates for children, with more than 100 grassroots groups in California joining forces in an effort called The Unity Project. Philanthropist Jeff Hanson is spearheading the project along with health experts such as Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the messenger RNA technology behind the two leading COVID-19 vaccines. “What we understand launching this is we need our progressive brothers and sisters,” Hanson said in a virtual briefing Monday. Launched two weeks ago, the project began in response to California...

U.S.—New documents recently uncovered by Smithsonian historians confirmed that the group of pilgrims and Indians who gathered for the first Thanksgiving argued vehemently about politics throughout the course of the meal. The newly discovered journal seems to indicate that just after giving thanks for the meal, one Pilgrim from England drank too much mead and began to rant about “making the colonies great again,” kicking off several hours of hostile glances, passive-aggressive remarks, and flat-out argumentation. “Apparently, Uncle Charles was asked to eat at the kids’ table after a tirade about how real patriots need to support King James I,...

The tech tyrant attacked the song for alleged medical misinformation and the uproar boosted the song into the stratosphere. Bryson Gray, a rapper and Trump supporter, recorded a rap song called “Let’s Go Brandon” (not to be confused with Loza Alexander’s hip-hop chart-topping “Let’s Go Brandon” song). Gray’s song was doing well on the charts so, two days ago, YouTube figured out a way to remove it. It claimed that the song contains medical misinformation. Aside from being untrue, YouTube managed to take the song from being well-ish-known and turned it into a massive hit. Talk about a censorship fail....

[Catholic Caucus] Cardinals Respond to Traditiones Custodes by Consecrating Priests in Immemorial Mass of All Ages Cardinal Müller ordained a monk from Le Barroux as a priest in the traditional rite.[katholisches] Two well-known cardinals have offered the priestly ordination in the Immemorial Mass of All Ages during these months. Cardinal George Pell consecrated two Benedictines from Nursia and Cardinal Gerhard Müller one Benedictine from Le Barroux. Both consecrations are a signal to want to defend the Rite and the communities associated with it against the motu proprio Traditionis Custodes. A new website also provides up-to-date information on the effects...

<p>Virginia Tech is moving to drop the hammer on ‘inappropriate and embarrassing’ student behavior after viral chants of “F*ck Joe Biden” spread across the country.</p>

Joe Biden’s executive orders mandating shots are not popular with the American public. With resistance to the experimental COVID-19 vaccination going viral across the country, a group of Ohio clergy are taking a jab at the White House’s mandate. Leading clergy representing over one hundred congregations across the Buckeye Bible Belt are giving their disapproval of the national vaccine mandate and have written the President in an open letter. “Joe Biden can take his medical advice somewhere else, we are not going to listen to him,” says Pastor J.C. Church, one of the one hundred and one clergy co-signors. “This...

What this study finds is exactly what vaccine developer Geert Vanden Bossche (Belgium) has been predicting. The predominance of antibody-resistant SARS-CoV-2 variants in vaccine breakthrough cases from the San Francisco Bay Area, California. [DATA LINK HERE]The California study finds that vaccinated individuals are more susceptible to COVID variant infections than unvaccinated. Geer Vanden Bossche has been warning that vaccine antibodies would suppress natural antibody responses. The vaccine antibodies take control of the immune system and defend only against a targeted virus.Among vaccinated individuals, a COVID variant virus is not recognized by the specialized antibodies provided by the vaccine, and the...

MANHATTAN, New York—New Yorkers gathered for the second time this month at Foley Square in Manhattan to protest vaccine mandates. New York teachers and other Department of Education staffers were mandated to take the vaccine by city authorities. The mandate was supposed to take effect on Sept. 27, but was temporarily blocked by a federal judge on Sept. 24. However, a federal appeals panel ruled in favor of the mandate hours before it was scheduled to begin. The Epoch Times talked to some of the organizers of the protest. “The movement is growing, my numbers of followers keep going up...

Concerned that a mere loss of one's job for declining to be vaccinated might not be sufficient to secure the necessary obedience to his will, President Biden is calling for employers to label the firing of these "refuseniks" a "dishonorable discharge." "When I was told that an estimated 30% of our troops are refusing to take the COVID vaccine I was shocked," the President reported. "Soldiers take an oath pledging their obedience to their Commander-in-Chief. Their loyalty to me should serve as an example for the civilian population. Failure to fulfill their oath is dishonorable. Hence, their subsequent discharge from...
