Howdy y’all

Greetings most finest and noblest of countrymen. I offered to offer my offering of off-putting remarks from hither and yon in this fair land and in Admin’s great judgment and/or moment of weakness he/she/it/they/them said yes.

In all seriousness though I have appreciated Admin’s capacity over the years for equal parts extended – nay wordy – exploration of the minutiae of finance and economics and concise snippets of sarcastic insights into this head scratcher we call humanity. The thing about being a lurker is that it’s low risk. And picking up the vibe that I’m a tad younger and more liberal than the median, I haven’t really wanted to crash anybody’s party uninvited. I came more for the Occupy Wall Street commentary than caring about Donald Trump 11-d chess or whatever it’s up to.

Small Black Bundles

We all have too much to lose. Guest post by Robert Gore at Straight Line Logic

The Biden administration and NATO have steadily escalated participation in the Ukraine-Russia war. Recently, Biden authorized Ukraine missile attacks deeper into Russia’s territory using U.S.-made ATACMS ballistic missiles, which have a range of up to 190 miles. All of the expertise necessary to target and guide these attacks will come from the U.S. and NATO.

On May 22, Ukraine drones attacked two Russian nuclear early warning radars at Armavir. Much of the targeting and guidance expertise had to have come from the U.S. and NATO. Suddenly deprived of part of their ability to detect incoming threats, if the Russians had assumed the worse—that they were under nuclear attack and the drone strike was meant to cripple their command and control capabilities—the U.S. and NATO risked a nuclear response.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has thanked the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea for its friendship and support and pledged to assist Pyongyang in its own struggle for independence and identity.

Putin is scheduled to visit North Korea on Tuesday, for the first time since 2000. Ahead of his trip, the Russian president has written an article published by the leading DPRK daily, Rodong Sinmun.

“Russia has continuously supported and will support the DPRK and the heroic Korean people in their struggle against the treacherous, dangerous and aggressive enemy, in their fight for independence, identity and the right to freely choose their development path,” Putin wrote.

Documents: Putin Was Willing To Compromise To End War in 2022

Guest Post by Kyle Anzalone

The New York Times published new documents and interviews about the talks during the first months of the war.

In April 2022, Ukraine and Russia were on the brink of signing a deal to end the war just weeks after it began. The New York Times published documents showing President Vladimir Putin was willing to make concessions to get an agreement signed.

According to the documents, Putin initially sought to have Kiev recognize Moscow’s 2014 annexation of Crimea. However, a draft agreement from April 15, 2022, suggests both parties were prepared to set aside the issue to end the conflict. “Paragraph 1 of Article 2 and Articles 4, 5, and 11 of this Treaty shall not apply to Crimea and Sevastopol,” the document says.

Pentagon Ran Secret Anti-Vax Campaign in Philippines, While Censoring Americans Who Criticized COVID Shots

Guest Post by Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.

The military’s campaign, based on the principles of psychological warfare, was operated out of “trailers and squat buildings” at the MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, according to a Reuters investigation.

The Pentagon in 2021 operated a secret propaganda campaign to disparage the Chinese-made Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine in the Philippines, a Reuters investigation revealed Friday.

The secret campaign to counter what the U.S. “perceived as China’s growing influence in the Philippines,” launched during the same time the U.S. government was telling Americans COVID-19 vaccines were “safe and effective” and censoring vaccine critics, alleging they were spreading “misinformation.”

Teachers have More Power Than Parents in California

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

dragqueenstoryhourKids throughout California have been celebrating Pride month in the classroom in honor of the LGBTQ+? community, and while love is not wrong, why are we discussing sexual topics with children? Why are sexuality and gender such major speaking points for the far left progressives? California continues to take steps to revoke parental rights in favor the woke state. The Senate just passed Assembly Bill 1955 that could make it illegal for teachers to inform parents if their own children change their gender identity.

Israel Follow-up – Whistleblowers, Protests and Resignations

Guest Post by Kit Knightly

Two weeks ago I wrote a piece, “Are the powers-that-be preparing to cut Israel loose?”, speculating on the future of the Israel/Gaza narrative and suggesting that Israel’s days in the “good guys club” might be over soon.

I just wanted to do a brief follow-up on this, adding some more interesting evidence that’s come to light since, and highlighting some of the best comments we got on the previous piece.

Hot On The Campaign Fail: Secret Service Agent Robbed, WH Spox Mocked After Biden Propped

Via ZeroHedge

This weekend wasn’t great for the Biden campaign – after a viral video showed the president ‘freezing’ on stage during a star-studded ‘weekend at Biden’s’ event in LA, and a Secret Service agent getting robbed at gunpoint that same night. Oh, and then Biden had a nursing home outburst at reporters. And to top it all off, Spox Karine Jean-Pierre wants us to believe recent videos of Biden are deepfakes.

If we’re to start this out properly, on Thursday, Biden wandered off during a G7 flag ceremony when he was supposed to participate in a group photograph with a bunch of European leaders who just got their clocks cleaned in last week’s election.
