Then all cried with one accord, ‘Thou art King, and God and Lord; Anarchy, to thee we bow, Be thy name made holy now!’ — “The Mask of Anarchy,” Percy Bysshe Shelley, 1819 Following the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the American ruling establishment embarked on a policy of backing radical anti-nation state ideologies (henceforth […]
Quote — “The US will likely end up supplying Ukraine with Switchblade loitering munitions. The system poses a real threat. Nevertheless, the Russian military will likely use the tactics we saw in Syria to neutralize this threat.” (Southfront) And, well, it is tax time, and these beasts of a nation — Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, MSM […]

Oh, you can pull a million images and a million news briefs from the Internet to illustrate the powerful and their stupidity and their absolute disdain for the rest of us. She laughs when asked about refugees, this time, from Ukraine. She is laughing about being in either the west or east flank in Poland. […]

Two days after Russia attacked Ukraine and the day before Vladimir Putin put Russia on nuclear alert, I wrote a little article whose first sentence was: “Not wanting to sound hyperbolic, but I am starting to conclude that the nuclear madmen running the U.S./NATO New Cold War they started decades ago are itching to start […]
