"For maximal effect in asymmetric warfare Vox Day instructs that the ideal target should have these three characteristics:

It can be reached with certainty

It’s attacked from a place that cannot be reached by the enemy

Its symbolic value

The historic Oreshnik attack on the old Soviet missile factory had all three of these qualities, attended by a spectacular nightime display. The enemies of Russia are clearly disoriented by it. One tell is the uninformed downplaying of its significance, another the lack of reliable ground photographs and damage assessments."

BREAKING: Donald Trump has officially secured enough electoral votes to officially win the presidency

"Aristotelian physics holds that all bodies move according to their nature and their natural place. Stones fall to the earth; fire rises to the sky. Thus, Aristotle’s adherents assumed heavy bodies fell faster than lighter bodies. This was disputed as early as the sixth century by the Byzantine Church Father, John Philoponus (~490–~570), who noted, we presume from experiment, “that two unequal weights dropped from a given height strike the ground at almost the same time” [[ii], [iii]].

"If that sounds familiar, you may be thinking of the famous demonstration Galileo (1564–1642) conducted at the Leaning Tower of Pisa. There are some subtleties omitted from the usual popular account of the event, however. In particular, the experiment was done by Simon Stevin (1548–1620) and Jan Cornets de Groot (1554–1640), not by Galileo, and they conducted the experiment from the Niewe Kerk [New Church] in Delft, the Netherlands, not from the Leaning Tower of Pisa [[iv]]."

Made glorious summer by this sun of York” - Richard III

He says that he was promised $100,000 and exfiltration to Europe. Same MO as with other Ukrainian terrorist attacks. Including Crocus Hall.

The 51st State

While I fully embrace the importance of hope, I’ve always been very skeptical of certain conspiracy theories, particularly those that relate to the US being not only freed from the chains of Clown World, but Canada being freed as well. But my skepticism was shaken a little by President Trump’s recent and very provocative comment […]

“A Legitimate Act”

The Times view on assassination of a general: The targeted killing is a legitimate act of defence by a threatened nation. How very peculiar! I don’t recall the British newspapers endorsing the IRA assassination of Lord Mountbatten as a legitimate act of defense. But if we’re to take Clown World media seriously, any nation that […]
