"The United States lyingly claimed they illegally invaded Iraq to find and destroy its non-existent weapons of mass destruction, but once the “shock and awe” bombing campaign stopped, American military forces set up a 150-hectare (370-acre) base around the ancient Biblical city of Babylon and destroyed its remaining archaeological artifacts while desperately searching for something."

It appears the US military occupation in Iraq didn’t heed JRR Tolkien’s warning. What were they looking for, and what did they find? The United States lyingly claimed they illegally invaded Iraq to find and destroy its non-existent weapons of mass destruction…

TIL: after rejecting a scholarship offer to Harvard at age 16 in 1931, Orson Welles travelled to Europe. While in Dublin, he walked into a theatre and claimed he was a broadway star. The manager, impressed by his audition and brashness, gave him work, and that same year, Welles made his stage debut.

The head of NATO's military committee, Rob Bauer, has warned that civilians in the West should prepare for an “all-out war” with Russia.
"We have to realize it's not a given that we are in peace. And that's why we (NATO forces) are preparing for a conflict with Russia.
But the discussion is much wider. It is also the industrial base and also the people that have to understand they play a role," Bauer emphasized.
Admiral Bauer stated that Sweden had done the right thing by calling for its population to prepare for war earlier this month.
"It starts there," he said. "The realization that not everything is plannable and not everything is going to be hunky-dory in the next 20 years."

"This juxtaposition is jarring. Lira, an independent journalist, was essentially condemned for his audacity to challenge the dominant narrative, while Whelan, an admitted spy, is accorded the rights and protections befitting a prisoner. The disparity in their treatment raises uncomfortable questions about the so-called democratic values espoused by the West."

"What we call 9/11 is essentially four planes being hijacked and crashed in a two hour period of time. Therefore, the complete failure of the air defense during these two hours should be investigated in much more depth and detail than it has been by the 9/11 Commission. And regarding the war games, yes, it’s at least quite strange that exactly on 9/11 a military exercise was taking place that included a virtual hijacking.
"Actually it’s a bit more than simply strange, considering that the second big terror attack in the western hemisphere in the last decade, the 7/7 tube bombing in London 2005, was also happening precisely while an exercise testing a tube bombing was running. (1) To call this a coincidence one has to change the meaning of the word, I would say."

In early 1991, Soviet citizens voted on the New Union Treaty which proposed to reform-rather than dissolve-the USSR. 76% of Soviet voters ultimately supported maintaining the federal system of the Soviet Union, including a majority in nine of the 15 republics. A year later, however, the USSR didn’t exist.
In 2021, an astonishing 66% of Southern Republicans and 50% of independents were in favor of secession. The West Coast also showed strong support for secession but of a different political flavor, this time being mostly supported by Democrats.
In this sense, the U.S. is already in more of a precarious situation than the USSR was in early 1991…
