"The Russians have proven their limited demands will be considerably more reasonable than both the Europeans and the neocons, and everything they demand used to be theirs anyhow. Ukraine doesn’t need Odessa to survive and thrive as the eastern border of continental Europe, but it does need to exist if it wishes to do so."

The Wall Street Journal reports that half of the world’s population may be descended from the Yamnaya culture, which existed in Ukraine over 5,000 years ago.
Research conducted in the village of Mykhailivka in the occupied Kherson region suggests that this area was a center of ancient civilization. From here, the Yamnaya people spread across Eurasia, shaping the gene pool and influencing cultures from Portugal to Mongolia.
Recent DNA studies suggest that their migration contributed significantly to global genetic heritage and played a key role in the development of over 400 modern languages.

If you’re late to the party, this is huge news in Australia.
Last month, radical new ‘hate-speech’ laws were rushed through parliament amidst claims of an ‘anti-Semitic crisis’.
But Federal Police & ASIO recently confirmed that local meth-heads were paid by ‘foreign actors’ to stage anti-Semitic crimes throughout the country.
The crimes include a fire in a synagogue, criminal damage, graffiti and a conveniently discovered caravan full of explosives.
It’s not clear if some or all of the crimes were staged, but none of them seem legit.
But this didn’t stop NSW Premier Chris Minns seizing on the opportunity to mess with Australian law, further cracking down on freedom of expression.
The government also announced a ‘special taskforce to combat anti-Semitism’ in response to the fake crimes.
In my opinion, it’s likely Minns (and other MPs) knowingly and deliberately played a part in this process.
Minns should resign immediately pending an investigation into what amounts to straight up fucking treason.

According to the interlocutors, both politicians would like to act as hosts in order to present the events as a diplomatic triumph, but for now the initial discussions concern Trump’s visit to China.

"...a story that includes a freshman pick-up artist, social justice warriors on campus, a Chinese demigod, a 17th century nuclear energy program and a freshman trying to keep his grade point average high enough to keep his scholarship money intact.
"It’s sort of like what might happen if one of Heinlein’s juvenile heroes (say Kip from Have Spacesuit Will Travel) was thrust into the modern era and was forced to use “SJWs Always Lie” as his freshman orientation guide while battling the Black Hats.
"The book combines an elaborate puzzle involving an ancient Chinese philosophical text that seems also to be a clue to the secret knowledge that the Civic Circle is protecting. There’s a rationale involving historical figures from the early days of electromagnetic field theory to explain how this secret hasn’t been discovered by the physicists of today. There are all kinds of geeky fun throughout the plot."

"The Tolkien Trust was founded by Tolkien’s children in the seventies to use some of the income from the estate of the celebrated philologist and author for charitable works. Two generations later, these works appear to have drifted quite far from anything that the conservative scholar might have wished.
"John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was a staunch Catholic, a monarchist and proudly provincial. The Tolkien Trust funds fairly few Catholic and many international human rights causes. Its English charities would often have been best left unfunded considering the great harm that they do to the ‘shires’ of his land.
"In 2018 and 2017, the Tolkien Trust sent a total of 80,000 pounds to Asylum Welcome. AW welcomes “asylum seekers, refugees and detainees” coming to Oxford and Oxfordshire. It boasts of its accomplishments in bringing Sudanese, Somalis, and Syrians to Oxford.
"The majority of AW migrants come from Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Sudan, Somalia and Eritrea."

"Yes, the British Empire is still a thing. It’s an undead empire of money, bankers and money laundering; it’s an empire of secret intelligence networks and covert diplomacy; of illicit influence, bribery and corruption; it’s an empire of false narratives and co-opted governments of degenerates, morons and incompetent bureaucrats. It’s a parasite that has infected humanity centuries ago and turned it into a radical perversion of itself.
"It’s also a dying empire, wounded and extremely dangerous as it is prepared to set the world on fire to preserve itself. Today this empire has run up against powerful opposition, not only from Russia, China and other sovereign world powers, but now also from the new administration in the US. The unravelling could span years and will present one of the most investable geopolitical themes out there, but more about that toward the end of this report."
