Why did Iran place itself between all those American military bases?

“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape?…If we value freedom of mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!”

-J.R.R. Tolkien

"Penguin Random House has altered what it termed the “unacceptable prose” of author P.G. Wodehouse in new editions of his classic Jeeves and Wooster series.

"The publisher also warned readers of “outdated” terms in the revamped works, the Sunday Telegraph reports."

"In simple, direct language that anyone from Sahara to Siberia can understand, Lula said, “Every night I ask myself why should every country need to be tied to the dollar for trade? Why can’t we trade in our own currencies? And why don’t we have the commitment to innovate?”

"Directly implied is the fact that the expanding BRICS+ should design and promote its own currency (the long, complex process has already started), on top of allowing trade in national currencies.

"Lula’s powerful message was addressed to the whole Global South. A Brazilian example is China’s ICBC setting up a clearing house in Brazil allowing direct yuan-real exchange.

"It’s no wonder that the CIA official rag, the Washington Post, foaming at the mouth, immediately issued the Deep State verdict: Lula is not obeying the “rules-based international order” diktat.

"That means the Deep State will come after Lula and his government – all over again, and will go no holds barred to destabilize it. Because what Lula said is exactly what Saddam Hussein and Colonel Gadaffi said – and tried to implement – in the past."

Prisms are cool ✨🌈

A prism is an optical component that disperses light, or it modifies the direction. White light entering a prism is bent, or refracted, and the light separates into its constituent wavelengths. Each wavelength of light has a different colour and bends at a different angle.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦The United States and allies are preparing Ukraine for a counteroffensive scheduled for April 30

American intelligence carefully monitors the fighting around Bakhmut, maps Russian troops down to individual trenches and tracks every electronic signal – from individual mobile phones to radars, writes Newsweek.

Bakhmut is slowly falling into the hands of Russia, its loss will be a psychological blow, but the city is not vital to the overall conflict, the article says.

Nevertheless, the United States and its allies are "looking to the future" and are preparing Ukraine for the spring "counteroffensive", which, according to the documents, should begin at the end of April.

"Supplies and support are being sent to Ukraine before the Ukrainian offensive scheduled for April 30," the newspaper reports, citing classified documents that have been leaked on the Internet .

According to classified information, the offensive will be undertaken by the Ukrainian 10th operational Corps, consisting of 9 brigades, which are currently being re-equipped by US and allied forces.

Mind-blowing results! 🤯 🔭

“One of the fun things about owning a 10" dobsonian is the fact that the resolution of lunar craters can be quite impressive. Of course the seeing conditions need to be good as well. Because I will be asked.. No I can't see the flags it's way too small. But doesn't it feel like you can reach out and touch it?”

Equipment: 10" Orion Dobsonian, 6mm Radian eyepiece, Samsung S20 FE phone.

It’s remarkable how many people pretend that the whole covid scam and mass medical tyranny never happened. We must never forget what they did to us and our neighbors who went along with it. We can forgive, but we must never forget what they were capable of when it mattered. At one point a significant percentage of the population supported putting us into camps because we refused their clot shot. Many are still fighting senseless legal battles for refusing to comply. Many lost their jobs and loved ones. Never forget what they did. Remind them often.

Documentary about the firestorm of controversy in anthropology caused by Derek Freeman's 1983 book 'The Fateful Hoaxing of Margaret Mead'. Mead is famous for her portrayal of 1920's Samoa as an idyllic place where free love flourished.

Teenage Samoan girls lied to her about their exploits with the boys. And since it fit Mead's preconceptions, she allowed herself to be fooled.

What if there was no COVID and the death toll was entirely due to refusing to treat respiratory illnesses until you shoved respirators down patients throats, lock downs, and vaccine side effects?

That's the conclusion Denis Rancourt draws based upon his study of all cause mortality.
