"I reprise this history of the Irish potato famine to show how leaders whose grandparents’ grandparents heard stories from this time, would be more likely to react early to what we are seeing now, and to fear that the worst might be possible.

"A small group of elites — elites with a boasted level of cultural distinction and polish, and a great deal of self-admiration, like the elites of today - drove the Irish population off the land intentionally, systematically, and in massive numbers. They helped to starve another million to death. The effect was a depopulated Ireland that was stripped of millions of its Irish inhabitants, in a way that benefited a few English elites. Does anything sound familiar?"

Read the whole essay.

"This is one reason why those who seek to intimidate others with hurtling the pejorative “conspiracy theorist” at them, are really trying to keep people from acquiring the habit of assessing new dangers in their environment for themselves, or from learning from others with historical knowledge of, or with experience of, dangerous situations, instead of relying on the assurances of elites and gatekeepers. Elites and gatekeepers require the ignorance and credulity of “ordinary people” in order to get their dirty deeds — if they are set on harming or exploiting populations — done, without facing mass resistance.

"History repeats, yes; but it repeats always in a new guise.

"So many of us can be slow to realize what is happening to us. Those who do not have genocides, or massive social control by a small group of elites, in their “ancestral memory”, may think that the people who are sounding the early alarm, are crazy or hysterical. But in genocidal times, a slow or fast reaction means the difference between destruction and survival."

He notes that the emergence of these printers will open up new opportunities for the Armed Forces of Ukraine

I'm guessing this is yet another example of Sailer's Law of Female Journalism.

❗️🇷🇺 Russia has decided to withdraw from the Barents Euro-Arctic Council. This is stated in a statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry.

This news should not be underestimated.

▪️In essence, the Foreign Ministry’s statement means that cooperation in this region has been curtailed, and given the current realities, it is not difficult to imagine what will replace it. If not confrontation, then at least rivalry. And here it is important to recall that almost all of our enemies in this region are either NATO members or candidates for NATO membership.

▪️So we can state that in the foreseeable future another region will appear near our borders, where we will enter into a clinch with the Western enemy. Especially considering the growing importance of the Northern Sea Route and our control over it, which they consider excessive.
