During the Cold War, Russians would gawk in amazement at the bounty of food in American supermarkets.
Today, Americans gawk in amazement at the beauty and cleanliness of Russia's public infrastructure.

Klaus Schwab Tells the World to Get Ready for a Transhumanist Future
“Just think of the power,” he says, “of the combination of artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and big data.”
Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF), predicts in ten years, the world “will be completely different from what it is now.”
“I think we have to be prepared for a world where we see a fusion of our physical, our digital, and our biological dimensions. So, it will be a world integrating the physical, biological, and the digital dimensions.”

"This is always how revolutions happen. Extremist forces use appealing moderate voices as the acceptable front of the movement, and then, once they are installed in power, their real agenda is made clear.
"I've said for some time that these prominent "cool young conservative voices" such as Matt Walsh, Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro, and of course Tucker Carlson, are not what they appear to be, and are simply softening the soil for something much darker.
"The extraordinary international media publicity given to Carlson's interview with Vladimir Putin solidifies this. The global machine is manufacturing your consent for the next stage of the global agenda, by manipulating you into sympathising with Putin and declaring your contempt for the West."

Hungary blocks new package of sanctions against Russia — Financial Times.
According to the publication's sources, at yesterday's meeting of EU ambassadors, Hungary was the only country that did not approve the 13th package of sanctions targeting nearly 200 individuals and organizations from Russia, China, North Korea and other countries who are deemed to be helping Russia’s war effort.
One of the officials said that Hungary did not agree to the new sanctions because of the inclusion of Chinese companies on the list.
According to another source, the Hungarian ambassador “requested a bit more time to analyze the content of the proposals”.
Sources say that discussions will continue, and it is likely that ministers of the member states will raise this issue at a meeting next week.
Supporters of the sanctions package hope to have agreement by next Wednesday, in order to meet the February 24th deadline. At the same time, the EU Observer notes that an agreement may be reached on February 19.

"Light can move in a variety of ways, including the up-and-down and side-to-side patterns of polarized light. But when it carries a type of rotation known as orbital angular momentum, it can also propagate in spirals that resemble twisted rotini pasta."

"The customary ‘leaks’ followed soon after and pointed to some type of new Russian “space capability” that reportedly threatens US and its partners, though Sullivan seemed to even imply that it’s a threat to the population while claiming he didn’t want to ‘cause mass panic.’ Ironically—or not—everything about his announcement appeared designed to do precisely that. Gee.
"The announcement sparked a swell of theories on the internet from an endless array of people who aren’t really knowledgeable on the subject matter, and used their ignorance to further the attempt at scaremongering. And most likely this was the whole point: people immediately and rightfully pointed to the obvious timing of this scare tactic."

Education perverts the mind since we are directly opposing the natural development of our mind by obtaining ideas first and observations last.
