&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;'''Tudor Dixon''' (née Makary, born May 5, 1977)  is an American politician, businesswoman and former conservative commentator. She is the Republican nominee for [[2022 gubernatorial elections|2022 Michigan gubernatorial race]] against far left and corrupt Governor [[Gretchen Whitmer]]. Tudor Dixon got president Trump's endorsement and won easily in the Republican primary election. After her winning the far left Wikipedia wasted no time in writing a biased article against her and portraying her as extremist because of her endorsements from Pro Life organizations.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tudor_Dixon#External_links&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Campaign==&lt;br /&gt;
Tudor Dixon promised during her campaign to never enforce lockdown in Michigan. Education, economy and public safety is the priority of her campaign. She supports legislation of Voter ID laws and combats the liberals’ patronizing and racist narrative that Black people don’t know how to get IDs. She also supports a ban on ballot harvesting and drop boxes, and the enacting of strict chain of custody and records retention requirements for all mail-in ballots.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.tudordixon.com/election-integrity&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;'''Incels''' (derived from the term &amp;quot;involuntarily celibate&amp;quot;) are people, generally though not always [[men]], who are frustrated at the fact that they remain celibate, despite not wishing to be so. The movement insults [[celibacy]], despite true celibacy being a virtuous trait. The term is also used as a snarl word by many leftists to deflect from any criticism of [[feminism]].&lt;br /&gt;

'''Alexander Boris De Pfeffel Johnson''' (born New York, June 19, 1964) is the Prime Minister of the [[United Kingdom]] and leader of the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]], serving since July 2019. Previously, he served as Mayor of [[London]] from May 2008 to May 2016 and as UK Foreign Minister from July 2016 to July 2018. He is a noted supporter of [[Brexit]], though he also holds [[left-wing]] and [[neoconservative]] positions on certain issues such as [[abortion]], &amp;quot;[[climate change]]&amp;quot; and [[homosexuality]]. Johnson defeated incumbent London mayor [[Ken Livingstone]] in 2008 and was succeeded by [[Sadiq Khan]]‎, the first [[Muslim]] mayor of any European capital. Observers in the media have noted Johnson's effective public speaking skills.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Hayward, Freddie; Faulconbridge, Guy (July 23, 2019).

''Reuters''. Retrieved July 23, 2019.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Less than 10 months after taking office, Boris Johnson fell victim of the [[CCP virus]] and entered intensive care.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.ntd.com/uk-prime-minister-johnson-moved-to-intensive-care-as-ccp-virus-symptoms-worsen_452809.html UK Prime Minister Johnson Moved to Intensive Care as CCP Virus Symptoms Worsen], By Jack Phillips, April 6, 2020.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  He was fortunate that he was not placed by the hospital employees on a respirator, which is terminal for many [[CCP virus]] patients.  Johnson improved without a respirator and was subsequently discharged from the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Boris Johnson's government first recruited international criminal mercenary fighters for the [[Russia-Ukraine war]], and then after their capture hung them out to dry by refusing to negotiate for their release.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/ausFo6OSw78&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Johnson is a [[historical revisionism|historical revisionist]] who compared Ukrainian dicatator [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] to [[Winston Churchill]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/tFxkFJ5HI4I&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Boris Johnson considers the Supreme Court overturning [[Roe V.

&lt;br /&gt;
After being deposed as UK prime minister, Johnson has been mentioned as a successor to [[Jens Stoltenberg]] as chief [[NATO]] warlord.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life and career==&lt;br /&gt;
Johnson was born in [[New York City]]. He no longer claims U.S. citizenship because he chose to renounce it following trouble entering the U.S. on his British passport.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1681132/posts&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However, he did not clarify whether he had ever formally renounced his U.S. citizenship before a U.S. consular officer and it is uncertain whether he remains a citizen under U.S. law. His mother was a successful artist, while his father was an author and politician. He is patrilineally descended from Ali Kemal, the Ottoman politician who was murdered. He is also the great-grandson of Elias Avery Lowe, the Russian-American Paelaeographer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mayor of London===&lt;br /&gt;

The Trump-Russia conspiracy hoax was hatched by [[Obama administration|Obama]] CIA chief [[John Brennan]] on the false allegation that Mifsud was a Russian agent.  Mifsud had been working for Western intelligence, Brennan and [[Jimmy the Weasel]] Comey all along.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUZ8XI_ncas Why the Mifsud Story Matters], DECLASSIFIED with Gina Shakespeare,- ''The Epoch Times'', Aug 5, 2019.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Johnson's campaign for Mayor of London from the Conservative Party was in a majority [[Labour Party]] dominated region. Johnson promised during the campaign that he would roll back a recent expansion of Central London congestion charging Livingstone had introduced.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7188239.stm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He also advocated the removal of articulated, or &amp;quot;bendy&amp;quot;, buses that had been introduced to London.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23411785-details/Scrap+the+bendy+bus+and+bring+back+Routemasters,+says+Boris/article.do&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He also called for minor changes to law and order in London in the form of a ban on drinking alcohol on public transport (the London Underground in particular)&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7387113.stm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and the revocation of free travel for youths who misbehave on buses and trains.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs===&lt;br /&gt;
On July 13, 2016, Johnson was appointed as the British [[Foreign Secretary|Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs]] by Prime Minister [[Theresa May]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.gov.uk/government/ministers/foreign-secretary Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  As head of UK intelligence, Johnson [[collude]]d with Sir. [[Richard Dearlove]], U.S. CIA director [[John Brennan]], [[Alexander Downer]], [[Stefan Halper]], and [[Joseph Mifsud]] in manufacturing false [[Trump-Russia]] allegations. Candidate [[Donald Trump]] had spoken about cutting off the [[NATO]] gravy train to UK.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In July 2018, due to his opposition to May's Brexit plan which he believed undermined UK sovereignty and independence, Johnson resigned as Foreign Secretary.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Lane, Oliver JJ (July 9, 2018).

In late March 2022, as [[Ukraine]] and [[Russia]] neared conclusion of a ceasefire on Russia's [[Special Military Operation]] to end the [[Donbas war|Donbas conflict]] under terms largely along the lines of the [[Minsk Accords]] with the issues of the [[Donetsk Peoples Republic]], the [[Luhansk Peoples Republic]], and [[Crimea]] off the table, Johnson rushed to [[Kyiv]] and convinced Ukrainian dictator [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] not to accept the deal in exchange for promises of [[NATO]] aid to fight the Russians.  Two months later, after thousands of the Armed Forces of Ukraine troops were ground down on the battlefield along with their NATO weapons, talk of resuming ceasefire negotiations was now encouraged by Western leaders. The [[Kremlin]] announced that the status of the [[Kherson Republic]] and [[Zaporozhye Republic]] would be off the table as well, if negotiations were to resume.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the Prime Ministers of France, Germany, Italy, and Romania urged Ukrainian dictator [[Vladimir Zelensky]] to pursue a negotiated settlement with Russia and end the slaughter of Ukrainian troops in a hopeless cause, Johnson urged Zelensky to continue the war and keep the gravy train of $53 billion in U.S. aid flowing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 23, 2022 the UK ''[[Guardian]]'' reported Johnson saying that [[Ukrainian refugees]] could be deported to [[Rwanda]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/jun/23/ukrainians-who-come-to-uk-illegalPeter%20Navarroly-could-be-sent-to-rwanda-johnson-says&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On the other hand, the secular West and East Asia has very low fertility and a rapidly aging population... In the coming decades, the developed world's demand for workers to pay its pensions and work in its service sector will soar alongside the booming supply of young people in the third world. Ergo, we can expect significant immigration to the secular West which will import religious revival on the back of ethnic change. In addition, those with religious beliefs tend to have higher birth rates than the secular population, with fundamentalists having far larger families.

Regarding the [[Western World]] as a whole and the growth of the religious population in the West, Kaufmann wrote:&lt;br /&gt;
{{Cquote|...this paper claims that the developing world will not only never catch up, but that, ironically, it is the West which will increasingly come to resemble the developing world. Committed religious populations are growing in the West, and will reverse the march of secularism before 2050. The logic which is driving this apparently anti-modern development is [[demography]], a shadowy historical force whose power multiplies exponentially with the modernisation process. Demography is about raw numbers, and, in an age of low mortality, its chief components are fertility and migration.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.sneps.net/RD/uploads/1-Shall%20the%20Religious%20Inherit%20the%20Earth.pdf ''Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth?: Demography and Politics in the Twenty-First Century'' by Eric Kaufmann]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}} &lt;br /&gt;

There was already a risk that the [[Chinese Communist Party]] would be overthrown and the end of state atheism would cause the already explosive [[growth of Christianity in China]] to be further turbocharged (see: [[Future of atheism in China]] and [https://conservapedia.com/Essay:_2021_is_the_WORST_year_in_the_history_of_atheism#China_and_2021 2021 was a bad year for China]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2020, ''The Economist'' published an article entitled ''Protestant Christianity is booming in China'' which indicated:&lt;br /&gt;
{{Cquote|As for China’s Christians, their numbers continue to grow. The government reckons that about 200m of China’s 1.4bn people are religious. Although most practice traditional Chinese religions such as Taoism, and longer-standing foreign imports such as Buddhism, Protestant Christianity is probably the fastest-growing faith, with at least 38m adherents today (about 3% of the population), up from 22m a decade ago, according to the government’s count. The true number is probably much higher: perhaps as many as 22m more Chinese Protestants worship in unregistered “underground” churches, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Notre Dame. As China also has 10m-12m Catholics, there are more Christians in China today than in France (38m) or Germany (43m). Combined, Christians and the country’s estimated 23m Muslims may now outnumber the membership of the Communist Party (92m). Indeed, an unknown number of party members go to church as well as local committee meetings.[https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2020/09/15/protestant-christianity-is-booming-in-china]}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''Arnold Alois &amp;quot;Arnie&amp;quot; Schwarzenegger''' (born July 30, 1947) is an [[Austria]]n-born American actor, former politician, former [[steroid]]-enhanced [[bodybuilding|bodybuilder]], film producer, and businessman. Schwarzenegger served as the [[RINO]] [[Governor]] of [[California]] from 2003 to 2011.  A [[Never Trump|Never-Trumper]], Schwarzenegger unsuccessfully replaced [[President Trump]] on his reality show ''The Apprentice'', resulting in collapse of the show's ratings. More recently, Schwarzenegger has involved himself in nonpartisan [[redistricting]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/bill-whalen/article138898898.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In complete disregard of the [[First Amendment]] rights of Trump supporters, Schwarzenegger absurdly compared the most peaceful political protest at the [[United States Capitol Building]] on January 6th, to brutality by [[Nazi Germany]] on [[Kristallnacht]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://news.yahoo.com/arnold-schwarzenegger-compares-capitol-riots-132443688.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Schwarzenegger's own father, Gustav Schwarzenegger, was himself a [[Nazi]]. Schwarzenegger has defended his father's Nazi affiliation, as well as his drunkenness and abuse, claiming this behavior was a result of the guilt and shame he faced, and that his father was lied to by the Nazi government. He also discussed these experiences in a statement to further rally the West against [[Vladimir Putin]] and [[Russia]] in the [[Russia-Ukraine war]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://variety.com/2022/politics/news/arnold-schwarzenegger-ukraine-russia-nazi-father-1235208273/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/Schwarzenegger/status/1348249481284874240&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Schwarzenegger has also failed to stand up for [[election integrity]], and California has been completely taken over by [[liberal]]s rewriting election procedures there. To his credit, Schwarzenegger does promote [[chess]] and has tried be in beneficial movies, including some of the [[Essay:Greatest Conservative Movies|greatest conservative movies]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Acting career==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Schwarzenegger rose to fame with action movies including Commando, Conan the Barbarian and the Terminator franchise. His on-screen presence was characterized by his large stature, as well as his thick Austrian accent. Once one of the highest paid actors in [[Hollywood]], Schwarzenegger has recently returned to acting, following the end of his term as Governor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Recall Election==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After sitting Governor [[Gray Davis]] mismanaged electric power deregulation and instituted a new registration tax by [[executive order]], infuriated citizens initiated a petition to place a measure on the ballot to remove him from office. Despite [[Democratic]] predictions that the petition would fail, it was delivered to then-Secretary of State Kevin Shelley with more than the required number of signatures. In accordance with the law, Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante became Acting Governor and called a special election for October 7, 2003. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The election was only the second of its kind in United States history. Approximately 180 citizens, from all walks of life, declared candidacy. Schwarzenegger was rumored to be considering a run for office, which was confirmed on an appearance on the NBC TV [[Tonight Show]]. Schwarzenegger easily defeated Cruz Bustamante in the election.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the election was over, Schwarzenegger was sworn in on November 17, 2003, to serve the remainder of Davis' term. Despite a period of sagging poll numbers, Schwarzenegger was reelected by a landslide on November 7, 2006. He defeated Democrat Phil Angelides, the then-State Treasurer of California.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Political views==&lt;br /&gt;
Despite supposedly being a &amp;quot;[[Republican]]&amp;quot;, he holds mainly [[liberal]] views. He is a supporter of [[gun control]] and [[environmentalism]]. He is a staunch supporter of a law that mandates the use of Californian taxpayer money to fund [[stem cell research]] - which is the cloning and killing of human embryos for experimentation; he is also [[pro-abortion]]. Arnold officially approved an [[assisted suicide]] measure, allowing nurses to sedate, dehydrate and [[starve]] depressed or confused individuals they consider to be &amp;quot;[[terminally ill]]&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;amp;pageId=76713 California approves nurse-assisted suicide] Worldnetdaily, October 02, 2008&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; (See [[euthanasia]]). Governor Schwarzenegger also campaigned against the famous California [[Proposition 8]]. He married [[Maria Shriver]], a famous journalist who is a member of the historically liberal [[Kennedy Family]]. Because of these and other policies, he is often referred to as a &amp;quot;[[RINO]],&amp;quot; a &amp;quot;Republican in Name Only&amp;quot;, by many real [[Republicans]]. Other sources have labeled him a &amp;quot;California Republican&amp;quot;, meaning that his fiscal policies are conservative but his views on culture are liberal, reflecting the general attitude of many Californians. During his time as governor, the debt of California continued to balloon, forcing the state to pay IOU's for a period in 2009. Due to the budget crisis's under his tenure, Republicans lost the state to Democrat Former Governor [[Jerry Brown]] in the 2010 Gubernatorial election.{{citation needed}}&lt;br /&gt;

The '''Hourglass nebula''', also called the Engraved Hourglass nebula or the Etched Hourglass nebula, is a [[planetary nebula]] in the [[constellation]] of [[Musca]].&amp;lt;ref name=constellation-guide/&amp;gt; Unusually for a planetary nebula, it has two large rings and one smaller one. The [[star]], a white dwarf, at the centre of the nebula is somewhat offset from the exact centre, which also puzzles astronomers. This throws into question the current belief of how planetary nebulae form, as this would mean the star should be along the axis of symmetry of the nebula.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
The nebula was first observed by Annie Jump Cannon and Margaret W. Mayall, some time between 1918 and 1924.&amp;lt;ref name=constellation-guide/&amp;gt; They recorded it as a small and faint nebula as no structure was apparent with the equipment available at their time. The structure of the nebula was not established until 1996, when better [[telescope]]s and advanced imaging techniques became available. The structure was first recognized by Raghvendra Sahai and John Trauger of the [[Jet Propulsion Laboratory]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Properties and Structure==&lt;br /&gt;
Then nebula is composed of two large lobes that meet at a central [[star]], giving it a shape like an hourglass. The star at the centre is a [[Wolf-Rayet star]], thought by some to have a temperature of 110,000 k.&amp;lt;ref name=constellation-guide/&amp;gt; The radiation it emits causes the nebula to glow. The nebula itself is expanding at around 10 km/s and is in fact approaching us at around 67.8 km/s.&amp;lt;ref name=simbad/&amp;gt; The lobes also have an intricate pattern of etchings.&lt;br /&gt;

The asymmetrical placement of the central star, away from the axis of symmetry, throws into question the current belief of how planetary nebulae form. The current belief that [[planetary nebulae]] form from the ejected material of stars would require the resulting nebula to by symmetric about some axis, but this is not the case.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/details.php?id=pia14442 Hubble Finds an Hourglass Nebula around a Dying Star] from jpl.nasa.gov&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Some have suggested that an additional companion star could explain this, but none has been observed.&lt;br /&gt;

'''Black Lives Matter''' ('''BLM''') movement is a fundraising arm for the [[DNC]] and [[2020 Biden campaign|Biden presidential campaign]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Donations are laundered through the [[ActBlue]] network. https://www.cathinfo.com/catholic-living-in-the-modern-world/blm-direct-funding-arm-of-the-dnc/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In 2021 it was discovered BLM founder [[Patrisse Cullors]] spent more than $3.4 million of donations to purchase 3 private mansions in exclusive [[white]] neighborhoods.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.blackenterprise.com/blm-co-founder-patrisse-khan-cullors-under-fire-for-purchasing-million-dollar-homes/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nypost.com/2021/04/10/inside-blm-co-founder-patrisse-khan-cullors-real-estate-buying-binge/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  In 2020, Black Lives Matter [[protester]]s murdered at least six [[Black]]s, including two policemen, two [[children]], and shot at least 3 other Blacks including one minor.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;BLM protesters murder two Blacks including one child in [[CHAZ]], and two Blacks including one child in Atlanta. One Black was also shot in CHAZ and two more in Atlanta. BLM also murdered two police officers, one in St. Louis and one in Oakland.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It picked-up large donations from many Americans -- who were duped into thinking the organization was supposedly &amp;quot;against racism&amp;quot; -- after abusing the case of [[George Floyd]] for its extremist agenda.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BLM is a [[Fifth Column]] [[front organization]] posing to promote social change.  The movement is a highly organized [[Marxist]]&amp;lt;ref name=ridge&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[https://theridgewoodblog.net/black-lives-matter-apologists-for-cubas-discriminatory-failed-communist-dictatorship Black Lives Matter : Apologists For Cuba’s Discriminatory Failed Communist Dictatorship] The Ridge, July 17, 2021.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
BLM praises Cuba’s dictatorship for showing “solidarity with oppressed peoples of African descent.”...Cuba has been a horrendous human rights abuser, a notorious persecutor of gays for most of the Communist rule, and has long discriminated against black Cubans in jobs (how many dark-skinned Cubans do you see working at the elite tourist hotels?).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Black Lives Matter has now been officially exposed as nothing more than a Marxist front group – and we hope the dupes on the left that continue to put BLM signs in front of their yards will now take them down.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;/[[Leftist]] organization and has formed a [[united front]] with other [[far-Left]] extremist groups which call for [[Communist]] [[revolution]], seeking to uproot the American [[constitution]]al form of [[government]] and install a Marxist [[dictatorship of the proletariat]].  The movement is also known for its violent [[homophobia]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://web.archive.org/web/20200906043741/https://twitter.com/BrandonStraka/status/1302403490648649734&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://web.archive.org/web/20200828141007/https://twitter.com/BrandonStraka/status/1299223473009631232&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and violence against African American [[free thinker]]s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/EricWFAA/status/1302342400124301312&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Group membership consists primarily of white [[crime|criminals]] and ex-convicts who hate police, hate the judicial system, and hate the taxpayers who support it.  The group has very little concern for the lives and wellbeing of [[African American]]s, burning down their communities and shopping districts. The group's main objective is Marxist revolution. Its demands, as of mid 2020, are the abolition of police departments across the United States and the release of all [[criminal]]s from prison, as well as a host of other far-Left agenda projects, including the [[Green New Deal]] and the imminent takeover of the [[Democratic Party|Democrat Party]] by Marxists (Marxists  believe in [[single party control]] and the outlawing and [[censorship]] of opposition).  Group organizers, who are principally white, specifically target [[sociopath]]ic and [[criminal]] elements in both black and white society for recruitment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While most innocent protesters have unwittingly marched under the banner of an anti-American [[subversive]] organization, the truth is the organization has been infiltrated by the violent [[Antifa]] terror organization.  Antifa has acted as [[provocateur]]s at BLM demonstrations, turning them into [[riot]]s. The group's leadership is working in close consultation with Antifa and other Marxist groups dedicated to the violent overthrow of the United States system of government.&lt;br /&gt;

Most, and virtually all in some areas, BLM terrorists are privileged white liberal, progressive, socialists and Communists.  Many if not most Blacks soon tired of white liberal Communists explaining to them why their lives mattered.  Democrat mayors and governors did nothing and stood by and watched while [[white]] liberal socialists burnt down Black communities and business districts in the name of &amp;quot;Black Lives Matter.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

In 2016, the “Movement for Black Lives,” a BLM umbrella organization, released a political platform which consisted of numerous far-Left demands, including socialized medicine, the immediate legalization of [[prostitution]], the immediate pardon of all drug offenses with reparations paid to those convicted of drug offenses, and the restructuring of tax policy to create a “radical and sustainable redistribution of wealth.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.influencewatch.org/app/uploads/2017/08/The-Movement-for-Black-Lives-M4BL-Economic-Justice.pdf “Economic Justice.”] The Movement for Black Lives.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  While the [[Occupy Wall Street]] and [[Obama riots]] had failed to bring about a violent Marxist overthrow of the existing social order and governmental system,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2014/08/11/5-race-riots-in-obamas-post-racial-america/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the same organizers and groups attempted again, this time in a nationwide coordinated effort during the [[2020 Leftist insurrection]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jun/3/antifa-planned-anti-government-insurgency-george-f/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; While justifying [[violence]] to achieve &amp;quot;[[social justice]]&amp;quot;, the movement’s goal is to overthrow our society to replace it with a Marxist one. Many members of the black community would be shocked to learn that the intellectual godfathers of this movement are mostly white Communists, “queers,” and leftist Democrats, intent on making blacks cannon fodder, the shock troops of the coming Marxist revolution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Black Lives Matter was endorsed by Democrat Presidential nominee [[Joe Biden]];&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.breitbart.com/2020-election/2020/06/16/exclusive%E2%80%95katrina-pierson-joe-biden-and-the-politicization-of-black-lives-matter/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Yusra Khogali, a racist feminist and co-founder of a Canadian chapter of BLM, teaches followers that [[white people]] are &amp;quot;subhuman&amp;quot; (which she intentionally misspelled as &amp;quot;subhumxn&amp;quot;).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://dailycaller.com/2017/02/13/black-lives-matter-leader-white-people-are-sub-human/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  [[Walkaway]] founder [[Brandon Straka]] has been physically assaulted by Black Lives Matter [[terrorist]]s and [[bigot]]s who called him &amp;quot;f*gg*t&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://web.archive.org/web/20200828141007/https://twitter.com/BrandonStraka/status/1299223473009631232&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BLM declared war on the police. They marched down a New York street chanting, “What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/hqQXmnMr_w8&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  BLM [[community organizer]]s were charged in [[extortion]] plots.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://dcdirtylaundry.com/feds-bust-black-lives-matter-organizer-for-blackmailing-local-businesses/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  BLM has been criticized for ignoring black-on-black violence and promoting racial hatred.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;93% of all Black homicide victims are murdered by Blacks.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;*https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2016/crime-in-the-u.s.-2016/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-3.xls&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;*https://www.dailywire.com/news/7-statistics-you-need-know-about-black-black-crime-aaron-bandler&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Citizens who volunteered to clean up the vandalism and graffiti of white Antifa rioters in the name of BLM were [[liberal projection|falsely called &amp;quot;racist&amp;quot;]] by racist leftists.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/S6yLM8ZOs6s&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While it claimed/claims it is about fighting &amp;quot;racism,&amp;quot; the fact is that White/Black relations only worsened precisely since it was formed.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.patriotproject.com/gallup-poll-shows-race-relations-declined-significantly-since-blm-formed/ Gallup Poll Shows Race Relations Have Declined Significantly Since BLM Formed] Randy DeSoto, Patriot Project, July 22, 2021.&lt;br /&gt;
A new Gallup poll has found that positive ratings of relations between black Americans and white Americans have reached the lowest point in more than two decades of measuring the statistic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Currently, 42% of Americans say relations between the two groups are ‘very’ or ‘somewhat’ good, while 57% say they are ‘somewhat’ or ‘very’ bad,” Gallup reported.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A significant shift occurred in 2013, which The Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra noted is when the Black Lives Matter movement began.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Black Lives Matter org was hijacked in [[Germany]] to promote [[drug]] legalization for [[white]] people.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/HzUYX9pP93Q&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{main|Thousand Currents}}&lt;br /&gt;
Thousand Currents, the charity that manages fundraising for Black Lives Matter, includes on its board [[Susan Rosenberg]], a convicted [[terrorist]] who was sentenced to 58 years in prison.  Rosenberg’s involvement with the [[May 19 Communist Organization]], which carried out its bombing campaign in the 1980s, earned her a spot on the FBI’s Most Wanted List.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/black-lives-matter-fundraising-handled-by-group-with-convicted-terrorist-on-its-board&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  She was arrested in 1984 while unloading 740 pounds of stolen explosives and a sub-machine gun from a truck.  Rosenberg was pardoned by [[Bill Clinton]] on his last day in office.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://dailycaller.com/2020/06/27/convicted-terrorist-black-lives-matter-thousand-currents/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[George Soros]], Rob McKay, and other [[Democracy Alliance]] donors have given millions of dollars to groups associated with the movement, which have in total raked in over $133 million.  Organizations associated with Soros are said to have provided at least $33 million to various BLM movement groups since 2016.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Richardson, Valerie.

August 16, 2016.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2015, the fundraising club Democracy Alliance, led by Soros and Taco Bell heir Rob McKay, recommended “its donors step up check writing to a handful of endorsed groups that have supported the Black Lives Matter movement.”  BLM Movement groups which received support from the Democracy Alliance were the Black Youth Project 100, the Center for Popular Democracy, the Black Civic Engagement Fund, Color of Change and the Advancement Project.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Vogel, Kenneth And Wheaton, Sarah.

&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, the [[Ford Foundation]] and the Borealis Philanthropy created the Black-led Movement Fund,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/06/11/the-complex-funding-and-ideology-of-black-lives-matter/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; a funding vehicle for the Movement for Black Lives, the coalition of groups responsible for the extremist “Vision 4 Black Lives.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://borealisphilanthropy.org/grantmaking/black-led-movement-fund/ “Black-led Movement Fund.”] Borealis Philanthropy. &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The fund has received “pledges of more than 100 million dollars from liberal foundations and others eager to contribute.”&lt;br /&gt;

==Controversies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
People who value all human life advocated #alllivesmatter as a more appropriate slogan.  They argue that people should care about Trayvon Martin and other victims because they are human beings without regard to their race.  Many people believe that the social problems resulting in these deaths are too complex to discuss as hashtags and would prefer a more reasoned dialogue.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ann Coulter reported: &amp;quot;In 2008, the most recent year for which such data seems to have been collected, FBI surveys show that, out of 520,161 interracial violent crimes, blacks committed 429,444 of them against whites, while whites committed 90,717 of them against blacks.  In other words, blacks commit more than 80 percent of all interracial violent crime.&amp;quot; (June 24, 2015).

&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Nashville chapter of Black Lives Matter&amp;quot; booked a meeting room in the local library for the public meetings of the group.  However, the group excluded whites from attending their meetings.  Some people complained and the library said it would enforce its rule allowing the public and media to attend. The meetings moved to a local church with whites continued to be excluded.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.tennessean.com/story/news/local/davidson%20/2016/02/19/black-lives-matter-color-only-rule-runs-afoul-nashville-library/80606970/|title=Black Lives Matter 'color-only' rule runs afoul of Nashville library|work=The Tennesseean|date=February 19, 2016|accessdate=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Critics ask why Black lives only matter when they are taken by a white person, but not when a Black person is murdered by another Black person, and if that isn't [[discrimination]].  Many African American critics and victims of [[crime]] refer to the organization as Black Lies Matter due to its lack of concern over innocent child murder victims of random violence and drive-by shootings in Black neighborhoods.&lt;br /&gt;

BLM was founded in 2013 by three cultural Marxists: [[Alicia Garza]], [[Patrisse Cullors]], and [[Opal Tometi]].  Garza is an old [[Van Jones]] cohort from the Marxist STORM organization in the Bay Area in the 1990s. In 2015, Alicia Garza wrote: &lt;br /&gt;

[[Assata Shakur]] is the former &amp;quot;queen&amp;quot; of the Black Liberation Army (BLA) terrorist group, who was convicted of the first-degree murder of a New Jersey State Trooper in 1973. She was convicted of [[murder]] and seven other [[felon]]ies.  While serving a life sentence, she escaped from the Clinton Correctional Facility for Women in 1979. She was granted political asylum in [[Cuba]] in 1984 where she has lived ever since, despite US government efforts to have her extradited. She is on the FBI Most Wanted Terrorists list, under her maiden name [[Joanne Deborah Chesimard]].

Garza is a black separatist and more recently was affiliated with the Marxist [[Freedom Road Socialist Organization]] that wants to carve out an independent [[nation-state]] in the Bay Area.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.periscope.tv/w/1zqKVljlzyDJB ''Black Lives Matter Unmasked''], Lee Stanahan, 2020.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Black Lives Matter began as a slogan or hashtag that became popular in response to a series of incidents involving what was believed to be an excessive use of force by police resulting in the death of blacks in the United States.  The slogan could be flipped to call anyone a racist who disagreed with the organizations socialist objectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The #blacklivesmatter hashtag became popular following the death in 2012 of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin who was killed by George Zimmerman, a community watch volunteer.  Different people tried to capitalize on the slogan and take leadership of the people that have adopted the hashtag.  Three lesbians, Garza, Cullors, and Tometi have since created an organization by the name.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://blacklivesmatter.com/herstory/|title=The Theft of Black Queer Women’s Work|accessdate=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and have started a website.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://blacklivesmatter.com&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  BLM’s mission includes a kitchen sink of favored radical Left causes, including support of poverty elimination programs, prison deinstitutionalization, illegal immigration and gay rights. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Garza, Cullors and Tometi all work for front groups of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO), one of the four largest radical Left organizations in the country. The others are the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), and the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism (CCDS). Nelini Stamp’s ACORN—now rebranded under a variety of different names—works with all four organizations, and Dream Defenders is backed by the [[Service Employees International Union]] (SEIU), the [[ACLU]], the [[Southern Poverty Law Center]] and others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BLM's wide network of affiliates and partner organizations like CPUSA and ACORN allows BLM to turn out large crowds. Many participate simply to protest, commit violence, loot or all three.&lt;br /&gt;

At the [[Students for a Democratic Society]] National Convention held in Chicago on June 18–22, 1969 adhered to the general over-all line of the [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP) and the Chinese world view that attributed the source of global conflict from tension between the [[colonialism|colonial]] and former colonial peoples of [[Asia]], [[Africa]], and [[Latin America]] on the one hand, and the forces of [[imperialism]] led by the [[United States]] on the other. The unfolding of the conflict between the [[national liberation movement]] of the [[Viet Cong]] and &amp;quot;forces of United States imperialism&amp;quot; and its &amp;quot;puppet regime in [[Saigon]]&amp;quot; would provide an example for peoples of the [[Third World]] to unite in the defeat of US imperialism and the establishment of a &amp;quot;world socialist order.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Foreign Influence - Weather Underground Organization (WUO).

&lt;br /&gt;
The main point of contention centered on the role of the [[Black Panther Party]] (BPP) in the [[revolution]]ary process in the United States. Many held the view that a [[Vietnam war|Vietnam style war]] with the Black Panthers assuming the role similar to the [[Viet Cong]] as the [[Revolutionary Vanguard|vanguard]] Marxist armed national liberation movement within the United States against &amp;quot;the white imperialist super-structure.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/workers/black-panthers/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Many were fond of quoting [[Mao Tse-tung]] who wrote, &amp;quot;In the final analysis a national struggle is a [[class struggle]].&amp;quot;  There was a great deal of competition among the warring factions to portray themselves as the main purveyors of [[Maoism]] in the United States revolutionary movement.&lt;br /&gt;

The Progressive Labor Party (PLP) was pushing as a strategy the Worker Student Alliance (WSA) which postulated that students should unite with the traditional Marxist revolutionary power in the U.S., 'the workers,' to make revolution.  The [[Bill Ayers]]/[[Bernardine Dohrn]] faction and Revolutionary Youth Movement II (RYM II), according to [[Mark Rudd]], considered the fixation on 'the workers' as &amp;quot;racist in that the PLP didn't want to see non-white people as the revolutionary agents.&amp;quot; The Black Panthers demanded that SDS expel the PLP &amp;quot;for its racism in not supporting national liberation.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.markrudd.com/?sds-and-weather/the-death-of-sds.html ''The Death of SDS,''] Mark Rudd. Retrieved from markrudd.com, March 6, 2010.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dohrn/Ayers group called for a program of confrontation and action by white students in the style of [[Fidel Castro|Castro]]ite guerillas in a supportive role to black revolution without regard to the white working class.  Ayers and Dohrn, who are both white, felt armed struggle of blacks for self-determination would result in the victory of [[socialism]] in the United States without any reliance on white workers.  They saw their role as supportive of the black liberation struggle and one which involved direct confrontation with the authority of the capitalist state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the election of officers, Bernardine Dohrn declared that the National Office of the SDS was responsible for development of a correct Marxist–Leninist line and called for &amp;quot;the future exclusion of [[deviationist]] forces such as the Progressive Labor Party (PLP) and the [[CPUSA]] from the SDS.&amp;quot; The debate within SDS leadership between the Klonsky and Dohrn factions, however, was far from over.  Both factions were committed to a socialist revolution through armed struggle, their differences centered on strategy and tactics. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The newly elected leaders of SDS, Mark Rudd, [[Jeff Jones]] and Bill Ayers, sent the following letter to [[Anna Louise Strong]] in China immediately after the Convention:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox|Dear Comrade: Our Ninth Convention of SDS was highly honored to hear greetings from our best-loved revolutionary writer and champion of [[People's China]], and the thought of [[Mao Tse Tung]].

BLM's own writings make clear the black lives of &amp;quot;upper class&amp;quot; blacks don't matter in this Marxist revolutionary movement aimed at destroying imperialism. Nor is this revolution limited to the &amp;quot;black lives&amp;quot; of &amp;quot;working class&amp;quot; citizens, but includes &amp;quot;middle class Black progressives&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;some sections of the criminal class&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;the immigration movement, and the women’s and queer movements.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;

Blacks are ‘thugs,’ Muslims are ‘terrorists,’ and Latinos are ‘illegal aliens.’ The struggle for New Afrikan liberation is one which can only be achieved in understanding the need for a revolutionary [[united front]] against a common enemy. This is likewise hinges on organizing the lowest sections of society, the [[working class]], because unlike upper class Blacks, working class New Afrikans have no stake in White power US Imperialism, like upper class Blacks do. Working class Blacks are the pivot to uniting and leading [[middle-class]] Black [[progressive]]s, and even some sections of the [[criminal]] class who is exploited by being excluded from production. A revolutionary united front with the immigration movement, and the women’s and queer movements is on the horizon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Black Liberation Movement of the 60s and 70s was plagued with patriarchal and homophobic practices and ideas which set back the movement for liberation. We need to view our struggle as part of a global struggle; [[Palestinian]]s under [[Israel]]i occupation were the first people changing tactics to resistance fighters in Ferguson against tear gas and other defenses against militarized police. We need to have a clarity of who the enemy is. The recent focus on the confederate flag misses the fact that this flag is not in political power, that this flag only represents one small section of the enemie’s ranks. The US flag has not only killed and exploited our communities more, it represents the current enemy we are fighting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What will revolution take? Sacrifice, blood, tears, theory, organization and, fundamentally, people. There needs to be various organizations organizing different sections of the people: students, women, tenants, workers, etc., etc., able to carry out revolutionary struggle locally. There needs to be a revolutionary political party, which is disciplined and dedicated to coordinate strategically and withstand attacks from the [[US government]]. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://revolutionarystudents.wordpress.com/2015/07/24/blm-or-blm-black-lives-matter-or-black-liberation-movement/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
====Superpredators====&lt;br /&gt;
In a 1993 Senate floor speech Biden warned of &amp;quot;predators on our streets&amp;quot; who were &amp;quot;beyond the pale&amp;quot; and said they must be cordoned off from the rest of society because the justice system did not know how to rehabilitate them. Biden described a&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;cadre of young people, tens of thousands of them, born out of wedlock, without parents, without supervision, without any structure, without any conscience developing because they literally ... because they literally have not been socialized, they literally have not had an opportunity.&amp;quot;}}&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Biden went on in the same breath, {{quotebox|&amp;quot;It doesn't matter whether or not the person that is accosting your son or daughter or my son or daughter, my wife, your husband, my mother, your parents, it doesn't matter whether or not they were deprived as a youth. It doesn't matter whether or not they had no background that enabled them to become socialized into the fabric of society. It doesn't matter whether or not they're the victims of society. The end result is they're about to knock my mother on the head with a lead pipe, shoot my sister, beat up my wife, take on my sons.&amp;quot;}} &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Blm now mf.jpeg|right|200px|thumb|A Black Lives Matter terrorist kneels on a two year old white child's neck.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.newsweek.com/ohio-police-george-floyd-1519618&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Biden said, that he didn't care &amp;quot;why someone is a malefactor in society&amp;quot; and that criminals needed to be &amp;quot;away from my mother, your husband, our families.&amp;quot; Biden added &amp;quot;we should focus on them now&amp;quot; because &amp;quot;if we don't, they will, or a portion of them, will become the predators 15 years from now.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Biden's 1993 &amp;quot;predator&amp;quot; remarks are similar to comments then made by first lady [[Hillary Clinton]] where she warned of &amp;quot;Superpredators&amp;quot; who had &amp;quot;no conscience, no empathy&amp;quot; and who need to be brought &amp;quot;to heel.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

According to all major, reputable sources, [[Hillary Clinton]] and/or her organization and its surrogates started the [[birther movement]] to discredit [[Barack Obama]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/bifsEkjTAc8&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Mass incarceration====&lt;br /&gt;
Under the [[Biden Crime Bill]], more the 250,000 African Americans were imprisoned in the [[United States]] than under [[President Reagan]],&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.blackelectorate.com/articles.asp?ID=320&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; a fact for which both [[Joseph Biden]] and [[Hillary Clinton]] took credit for.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.thenation.com/article/hillary-clinton-does-not-deserve-black-peoples-votes/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Hillary Clinton was at his side when [[Bill Clinton]] raised mandatory sentencing guidelines which disproportionately sent Blacks to prison, giving the United States the highest mass incarceration rate in the world.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://newrepublic.com/article/129433/clintons-war-drugs-black-lives-didnt-matter The Clintons’ War on Drugs: When Black Lives Didn’t Matter], By Donna Murch, ''The New Republic'', February 9, 2016&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Biden and the Clinton's championed the “three strikes you're out” law, passed a crime bill that created dozens of new federal capital crimes, mandated life sentences for some three-time offenders, and authorized more than $16 billion for more state prisons. By the time the Clinton's left office in 2001, the United States had the highest rate of incarceration in the world. [[Human Rights Watch]] reported that in seven states, African Americans constituted 80 to 90 percent of all drug offenders even though they were no more likely than whites to use or sell illegal drugs. Prison admissions for drug offenses reached a level in 2000 for African Americans more than 26 times the level they had been under [[Ronald Reagan]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.thenation.com/article/hillary-clinton-does-not-deserve-black-peoples-votes/ Why Hillary Clinton Doesn’t Deserve the Black Vote], Michelle Alexander, ''The Nation'', February 10, 2016&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cumulatively since the Biden Crime Bill passed, 2.5 million adult black males—more than 10% of the population—were incarcerated leaving untold damage on black families.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.prisonpolicy.org/research/incarceration_rates_growth_causes/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The [[Ferguson Riots]] failed to muster African-American voters to the polls in the [[2014 Midterm Elections]] to retake the U.S [[House of Representatives]] or keep the [[U.S. Senate]] from going Republican, as Democrat Party strategists (such as [[Donna Brazile]]) had hoped.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.mediaite.com/online/donna-brazile-hypes-midterm-voter-turnout-with-ferguson-hashtag/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/Politics-Voices/2014/0904/Playing-politics-with-Ferguson-Will-it-work-for-Democrats-in-midterms&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://news.yahoo.com/obama-triangulates-ferguson-crisis-midterm-231620731.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Yet in many ways the 2015 Baltimore Riots were a spinoff of the anger engendered in Ferguson.

====Obama scapegoats an innocent Hispanic man====&lt;br /&gt;
In March 2012 a [[white Hispanic]] shot and killed a 17 year old youth, Trayvon Martin, who violently assaulted him. A jury found Trayvon Martin's killer acted in self-defense.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/07/13/george-zimmerman-found-not-guilty/2514163/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Wikipedia reports, &amp;quot;media coverage surrounding Martin's death was greater than that of the [[Presidential Election 2012|2012 presidential race]], which was underway at the time.&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the victim, an altercation began when Trayvon Martin suddenly appeared from behind and said, &amp;quot;You got a f----- problem, homie? You got a problem now&amp;quot;, knocked him down and pounded his head on a concrete sidewalk.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:a_ooInCXchsJ:https://www.txantimedia.com/%3Fp%3D987+&amp;amp;cd=4&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;ct=clnk&amp;amp;gl=us&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The victim received a nose fracture, two black eyes, lacerations to the back of his head, a back injury, and facial bruising.  When Trayvon Martin saw the gun, he reached for it saying, &amp;quot;You're going to die tonight m-----------!&amp;quot;  Obama later remarked, &amp;quot;Trayvon Martin could have been me.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.cnn.com/2013/07/19/politics/obama-zimmerman/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Liberal]] law professor Jonathon Turley noted, &amp;quot;I am equally troubled by Attorney General [[Eric Holder]] discussing the case in public speeches when his department is supposed to be conducting an unbiased review of the facts involving a man who has not been convicted of a crime....The impression, in my view, diminishes the appearance of [[due process]] and fair trial for the accused.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://jonathanturley.org/2012/05/16/medical-report-on-zimmerman-shows-broken-nose-lacerations-and-back-injury/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After he was exonerated, the victim responded to Obama's provocative comments: &amp;quot;I think that throughout the process (Obama) should have done what he said he was going to do and not interject himself in a local law enforcement matter or a state matter and waited until the facts came out, instead of rushing to judgment, making [[racial]]ly charged comments, and pitting American against American.  I believe that he should have taken the higher road given his position and, been an example, been a leader as (Obama) should be and say, let's not rush to judgment.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/george-zimmerman-accuses-barack-obama-of-fuelling-racial-tensions-with-comments-following-trayvon-martin-shooting-10129778.html [Account by ''The Independent'' contains transcription errors].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Eric Holder.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Eric Holder, point man for the administration's racial agitation program.]]&lt;br /&gt;
According to witnesses deemed credible by investigators, a [[Grand Jury]], and even eventually the [[United States Department of Justice]] Civil Rights Division, 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot six times and killed by Officer Darren Wilson of the Ferguson, MO Police Dept. after Brown assaulted the Officer with a punch to the face from a standing position through the police vehicle window, and attempted to steal the Officer's [[firearm]]. Brown was the main suspect in a strong-arm [[robbery]] that occurred moments earlier. Brown was unarmed, and his body lay in the street as Police conducted an investigation lasting several hours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[White House]] sent three representatives to Brown's funeral&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2014/08/24/342868844/3-white-house-aides-to-attend-michael-browns-funeral-service&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; as violence and looting already occurred.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/michael-brown-shooting/looting-erupts-after-vigil-slain-missouri-teen-michael-brown-n177426&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Obama called the death of the 6'4&amp;quot;, 292 lb. Brown, who smashed Officer Wilson's face while in a sitting position, &amp;quot;heartbreaking&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/michael-brown-shooting/looting-erupts-after-vigil-slain-missouri-teen-michael-brown-n177426&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Eric Holder was dispatched to meet with Brown's family and begin a separate DOJ investigation before local authorities completed their own.  As in the Louis Gates and Trayvon Martin cases, Obama and Holder began a series of public statements impugning the integrity of public servants who were lawfully fulfilling their duties.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/private-pathologist-michael-brown-family-testify-grand-jury&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Obama spoke of &amp;quot;a gulf of mistrust between local residents and law enforcement&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.cbsnews.com/news/obama-talks-gulf-of-mistrust-between-police-communities/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and Brown's family flew to [[Geneva]], [[Switzerland]] to testify before the United Nations Committee Against Torture, alleging police violence against [[African-American]]s was &amp;quot;widespread&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;commonplace&amp;quot; in the [[United States]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/michael-brown-family-headlines-delegation-un-panel-geneva&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The pro-[[China]] [[Freedom Road Socialist Organization]] (now Liberation Road) and its allies claim to have brought nearly 10,000 activists into [[St. Louis]], Missouri, to swell the ranks of the rioters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Grand Jury failed to indict the Officer, more violence erupted.  Months later, Holder's Justice Department, again, was forced to publicly admit there was no cause to consider the death of the black teenager as a [[civil rights]] violation or [[hate crime]].  When Holder's announcement came, more rioting erupted and two police officers were shot.  Obama reserved his reaction on the shooting of the two officers for a late night comedy show, ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!''&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/03/13/heres-how-president-obama-responded-to-the-shooting-of-two-ferguson-police-officers-on-jimmy-kimmel-live/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dollar costs of the [[Ferguson riots]] by mid 2015 were still not available, that is, damage to [[private property]] and government riot control costs. The ''real cost'' is in the loss of ''future'' income which now will never materialize.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://hoosierecon.com/2015/03/07/total-cost-of-ferguson-riots/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Klobuchar handled a case involving the same police officer charged in the death of [[George Floyd]].  When exposed for protecting racist cops, Klobuchar blamed the [[Bill of Rights]] for not indicting the same cop accused of killing George Floyd in the death of another black man in 2006.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nysun.com/editorials/amy-klobuchar-blames-the-bill-of-rights/91150/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier in 2020 the [[NAACP]] and Black Lives Matter called on Klobuchar to withdraw her presidential bid due to her racist prosecution in a 2003 murder case resulting in a life sentence for an innocent black man.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.startribune.com/activists-call-on-amy-klobuchar-to-withdraw-over-2003-murder-case/567397292/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  As district attorney, Klobutcher built her career prosecuting a vastly disproportionate number of black youths.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1s0W1-ILBT4&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Klobuchar's racist views are in keeping with her opposition to [[due process]] rights and her [[anti-constitutionalist]] ideology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Klobuchar forced out of contention and her appeal to Blacks tainted, the [[liberal media]] re-booted [[Stacey Abrams]] of [[Georgia]] as the top contender for the number two spot.  A much touted Biden/Abrams &amp;quot;dream ticket&amp;quot; had already been peddled &amp;quot;out of the gate&amp;quot; even before Biden announced his candidacy in the Spring of 2019.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.axios.com/2020-presidential-election-joe-biden-stacey-abrams-vp-54472f8f-5bb2-4d1f-bc7c-0544a09ebba5.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Abrams supposedly is representative of the vital Black female vote that Democrats relied upon to win back the [[House of Representatives|House]] in the [[2018 Midterm elections]].  Abrams has proven herself as a loyal dogface pony soldier shilling for the [[Democrat plantation]], attacking [[Tara Reade]]'s credibility, with the added bonus of hypocritically poo-pooing the &amp;quot;Believe All Women&amp;quot; and [[MeToo movement]]s when conservative women are the victims of the [[Left-wing war on women|Left's war on women]].  Racist Biden's staffers quietly and ironically told journalists behind Abrams back, 'no one takes Stacey seriously'.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nypost.com/2020/05/02/the-powerful-female-democrats-angling-for-biden-administration-hjobs/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;It's not the racist white person who is in the [[Ku Klux Klan]] that we have to worry about.

The leftist riots were triggered by the death of a Black man who was pinned to the ground in an allegedly &amp;quot;non-lethal&amp;quot; choke hold approved by the city's Democrat administration.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.lawofficer.com/neck-hold-used-by-minneapolis-officer-was-approved-by-department-policy/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The neck hold used by the Minneapolis cop was approved by the city's [[Democratic party|Democrat administration]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.lawofficer.com/neck-hold-used-by-minneapolis-officer-was-approved-by-department-policy/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  According to the Minneapolis Police Policy Manual, the restraint used was a &amp;quot;Non-deadly force option&amp;quot; and training is given to officers on the maneuver. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.is/Avjb5&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Minneapolis has not elected a [[Republican]] mayor since 1957; all police chiefs entrusted with overseeing police training, conduct, and community relations in six decades have been appointed by Democrat mayors, with the approval of a Democrat majority city council, and elected by Democrat voters.&lt;br /&gt;

On May 27, 2020 the Twin Cities DSA issued a call on [[Twitter]] asking comrades for supplies at the same intersection where the Auto Zone was burned to the ground kicking off the nationwide riots. Later that evening the [[Marxist]]s tweeted,&lt;br /&gt;

{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;We the National Political Committee of the Democratic Socialists of America condemn the public execution of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis Police.

Ngo later added:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“Media, politicians, public—all of us—have underestimated the training, purpose &amp;amp; capability of left-wing extremists. Every part of the rioting has a purpose.

Law enforcement authorities found evidence of pre-planning. The ''Minneapolis Star/Tribune'' reported:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|state officials said several caches of flammable materials were found both in neighborhoods where there have already been fires and “in cars we’ve stopped as recently as this morning,” said John Harrington, state public safety commissioner.

&lt;br /&gt;

The [[Sunrise Movement]], with established groups in several major cities, has heavily recruited activists from the DSA and Liberation Road affiliated groups, such as the Pennsylvania Student Power Network.  Sunrise founding activists are all current trainers with Momentum Community, which is a training workshop funded by millionaires and billionaires to “incubate” supposed &amp;quot;[[grassroots]]&amp;quot; organizations such as Sunrise and the Movimiento Cosecha (Harvest Movement).  Democrat millionaire donor and former [[2020 presidential election]] candidate [[Tom Steyer]]'s [[NextGen America]] is also tied to the Sunrise Movement, and according to the ''New York Times'', the two groups “strategize” together.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.fo/ytfYT&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The DSA itself as of 2020 has 66,000 members nationwide and locals in almost every state. Other communist groups such as Communist Party USA, Liberation Road, [[Socialist Alternative]], Workers World Party, Party for Socialism and Liberation, [[Socialist Unity Party]], and Revolutionary Communist Party and their allies in Black Lives Matter and [[Antifa]] can mobilize tens of thousands of militants and organizing cadre at short notice.  The American [[Left]] has the power to start race riots in nearly every major U.S. city.

{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;If blacks really believe that police are racist, black victims would presumably be less likely than white victims to report crimes committed against them.

&lt;br /&gt;
In fact, blacks don’t shy away from reporting crimes to the police. [[U.S. Department of Justice]] survey data on crimes reported to police shows that blacks are actually more likely than whites to report violent crimes committed against them to the police by 9 percentage points (54 percent to 45 percent).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you want to get rid of the police, that will mean no arrests, no convictions, and eventually no prisons. This change would be so far outside anything that the U.S. has ever experienced. But if research by economists gives us anything to go on, it may very well cause an 80 percent or more increase in murder rates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Research also finds that the benefits of policing are greatest in those areas where crime rates are highest — namely poor, black, urban areas. These neighborhoods would stand to lose the most by defunding the police.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cities where police are supposedly out of control and harming minorities have one thing in common – they are run by [[liberal]] Democrats. Indeed, almost all of them have been run exclusively by Democrats for many decades. For example, [[Los Angeles]] has only had one Republican mayor since 1961. Minneapolis and St. Paul haven’t had Republican mayors for over 45 years. As these politicians failed to protect their citizens, it may be the Democratic politicians and not the police who are to blame.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One searches in vain for Democratic politicians who have reprimanded the rioters. After several nights of riots, Minnesota [[Sen. Tina Smith]], a Democrat, egged on demonstrators by calling for a continuation of the “righteous protests” and necessary routing out of “racism” that she said is endemic in Minnesota. On Thursday, not a single Democrat in the House voted for a resolution condemning acts of violence and rioting — including the “deliberate targeting of law enforcement officers,” as well as opposing the defunding of police.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yet, the very politicians who want to disband the police and who ordered the police to stand down during the riots after George Floyd’s death are the same people who want to ban civilians owning guns for protection.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thyblackman.com/2020/06/28/the-democrats-cant-condemn-violence-including-violence-against-police/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Steven Lopez, a Black Lives Matter protester, was arrested for inciting a [[riot]], disorderly conduct, harassment and possession of drug paraphernalia.  His citation noted he was in possession of a handgun &amp;quot;with two full mags of ammo&amp;quot; at the time of the arrest. He was released. Ten days later Lopez was arrested again for [[murder]] and first-degree wanton endangerment. The murder victim was another Black Lives Matter protester.  Lopez fired into an encampment of protesters wanting to [[defund the police]]. Bystanders returned fire, wounding the accused killer in the leg.  Lopez participated in many protests, which rocked the streets of Louisville for a month.  [[Liberal media]] accounts referred to the [[BLM]] protester as a [[Hispanic]] &amp;quot;[[white supremacist]]&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/what-we-know-about-steven-lopez-the-suspect-in-the-fatal-louisville-protest-shooting/ar-BB166xfs&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

====Two Blacks murdered by BLM protesters in CHOP====&lt;br /&gt;
:{{See also|CHOP}}&lt;br /&gt;
Two black men were murdered by their white [[Antifa]] [[comrade]]s, one a 16 year old, and a third 14 year old black youth was shot while protesting for Black Lives Matter in [[Seattle]]'s Capital Hill Occupation Protest [[No Go Zone]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.foxnews.com/us/seattle-chop-shooting-protest&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  There was at least 4 shootings and an untold number of sexual assaults during what Seattle's Democrat mayor declared was the &amp;quot;Summer of Love.&amp;quot;  The protesters were demanding to defund the police.  A [[Socialist Alternative]] city councilwoman blamed the murders on &amp;quot;[[capitalism]]&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.redstate.com/bonchie/2020/06/29/seattle-city-council-member-blames-capitalisms-brutality-for-chop-murder/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  If the allegation that &amp;quot;capitalism&amp;quot; is responsible the deaths were true, the killings then would likely be a dispute over market territory for illegal drug sales and distribution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neither Antifa nor Black Lives Matter had yet to put forward any positive proposals on how to take the [[profit]] out of either legal or illegal [[drug]] sales.  Or proposals on who would enforce legal or illegal distribution of drugs in a gun-free and cop-free city. Or who would protect the lives of teenagers from getting shot by bandits and villains undercutting the prices charged by legally licensed dope vendors.  Or who would arrest armed dope dealers who are illegally profiting from drug sales once capitalism and individual profit is abolished.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One thing is certain, these people, at least those who don't OD or get shot, are tomorrows' citizens, voters, taxpayers, and leaders, assuming [[America]] survives as a [[sovereign]] and independent [[republic]].&lt;br /&gt;

===Eight year old girl murdered by BLM in Atlanta===&lt;br /&gt;
BLM sent out an alert broadcast by the [[socialist]] mouthpiece [[National Public Radio]] that so-called &amp;quot;white supremacists&amp;quot; would use vehicles to run over protesters blocking freeways and public streets.  BLM changed its rules of engagement to allow shooting into vehicles of citizens avoiding roadblocks.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://dcdirtylaundry.com/black-lives-matter-upgrades-rules-of-engagement-roe-to-shoot-people-in-vehicles-protester-shoots-unarmed-elderly-man-in-a-vehicle-chaz-security-opens-f/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Innocent citizens in Alamosa, Colorado, in Provo, Utah, and the CHOP zone were shot.  An 8-year-old girl was murdered by Black Lives Matter rioters when they shot into a car in Atlanta in the violent aftermath of the Defund police movement, a mass walk-off the job of police in the wake of political persecutions by Democrats, and the death of a drunk driver fleeing from police.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.cbs46.com/news/shooting-leaves-8-year-old-girl-dead-on-university-avenue-police-investigate/article_3de6674c-be41-11ea-8e33-2b7eacb8bee8.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====New York City====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[NBC News]] reported that New York's Deputy Commissioner for Intelligence and Counterterrorism said there is a high level of confidence within the New York Police Department (NYPD) that rioters had organized scouts, medics, and supply routes of rocks, bottles and accelerants to commit vandalism and violence. There are strong indicators they planned for violence in advance while using encrypted communications.  NYPD has received intelligence that U-Haul trucks with NJ registrations were aiding looters and vandals by transporting stolen goods and criminal actors.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1267877057817698305&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea explained how bricks and water bottles filled with cement had been thrown at NYPD members.  Shea wrote that construction sites in the city have had bricks stolen from them.&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“Pre-staged bricks are being placed and then transported to ‘peaceful protests,’ which are peaceful protests, but then used by that criminal group within.

Teams of looters armed with power tools systematically worked together to loot one location after another.  A neighborhood eyewitness stated,&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“Cars would drive up, let off the looters, unload power tools and suitcases and then the cars would drive away.

One out of every seven arrests in [[New York City]] were of people from out of state. Those arrested came from [[Massachusetts]], [[Connecticut]], [[Pennsylvania]], [[New Jersey]], [[Iowa]], [[Nevada]], [[Virginia]], [[Maryland]], [[Texas]] and St. Paul, Minnesota. The Police Commissioner estimated at least 20% of arrests were from out of town. Democrat mayor [[Bill de Blasio]]'s daughter was among those arrested along with others for acts of violence.  The counterterrorism deputy commissioner told [[NBC News]],&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Before the protests began, organizers of certain anarchists groups set out to raise bail money and people who would be responsible to be raising bail money, they set out to recruit medics and medical teams with gear to deploy in anticipation of violent interactions with police.

The wife of Aleksandar Katai, a [[Serbia]]n soccer who played with the Los Angeles Galaxy, posted criticism of the Minneapolis rioters in Serbian.  Someone noticed, translated the posting and criticized her.  She deleted the posting.  Katai's wife was in Chicago when she wrote the post, and Aleksandar may not have even been aware of the post.  Rioters arrived at the Los Angeles stadium to call for Alexander's firing.  The management of the L.A. Galaxy cowardly forced Alexander Katai to apologize for his wife, and then to denounce her.  Then they made him endorse Black Lives Matter, which he did, and then they fired him anyway.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://skugal.org/racist-violent-la-galaxy-fire-aleksandar-katai-over-wifes-shocking-social-media-posts-about-us-police-brutality-protests/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Then Katai was attacked on his way out for something he didn't do, may not have even been aware of, in a language most Americans don't understand.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nypost.com/2020/06/06/la-galaxy-releases-aleksandar-katai-amid-wifes-racist-posts/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[UCLA]] investigated a [[white]] professor who read [[Martin Luther King Jr.]]’s ''Letter from Birmingham Jail,'' which reportedly contains the N-word, to students in a [[political science]] class.  UCLA also held a town hall shaming and urged students to come forward with complaints.  The department head and other faculty charged,&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;The lecturer also showed a portion of a documentary which included graphic images and descriptions of [[lynching]], with a narrator who quoted the n-word in explaining the history of lynching. Many students expressed distress and anger regarding the lecture and the lecturer's response to their concerns during the lecture.  We share students' concerns that the lecturer did not simply pause and reassess their teaching pedagogy to meet the students' needs.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/professor-under-investigation-for-reading-mlks-letter-from-birmingham-jail-containing-n-word&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

Editorial page director of the ''[[New York Times]]'' James Bennet apologized, and then resigned, after publishing an [[op-ed]] from [[Sen. Tom Cotton]].

The judge said Pamela Moses 'tricked' probation department officials into allowing her to obtain the right to vote.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Indoctrination====&lt;br /&gt;
In Feb 2022, a shocking clip went viral, of wide-eyed 5-year-olds forced to march, chant for BLM.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Elizabeth Stauffer, &amp;quot;[https://www.westernjournal.com/made-throw-viral-clip-wide-eyed-5-year-olds-forced-march-chant-blm-report/ 'This made me throw up': Viral clip of wide-eyed 5-year-olds forced to march, chant for BLM],&lt;br /&gt;
''The Western Journal,'' (via ''WND''), February 7, 2022.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;In case you weren't aware, last week was &amp;quot;Black Lives Matter at School Week of Action.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently, this is now an annual event. According to BLM's website, the organization devotes the first week of February, Black History Month, to activities that will &amp;quot;make our schools more racially just.&amp;quot;...&lt;br /&gt;
In a video posted to Instagram, her students were seen marching through the school carrying BLM signs they had made as they chanted “Black Lives Matter.”&lt;br /&gt;
The caption on the school’s post read &amp;quot;sound on to hear our pre-primary friends raise their voices.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

====Anti-white supremacy====&lt;br /&gt;
Sen. [[Sheldon Whitehouse]] is a [[systemic racism|systemic racist]] who is a member of an all-white beach club in which his wife is a major shareholder.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://therightscoop.com/democrat-gets-cornered-over-being-a-member-of-all-white-private-elite-club/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2021/06/21/sen-sheldon-whitehouses-office-says-beach-club-has-had-members-of-color-doesnt-explain-why-he-said-theyre-still-working-on-it/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Black Lives Matter gave Whitehorse an ultimatum to cut all ties with Spouting Rock Beach Association, also known as Bailey's Beach — or it will make his life miserable, according to [[ABC]] affiliate WLNE.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.abc6.com/possible-protests-against-sen-whitehouse-coming-blm-r-i-member-says/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  “We’ll go to his club, we’ll go to his office, we’ll go to his home — wherever we need to go,” one of the chapter’s directors vowed.  BLM insisted Whitehouse’s denial was not enough to stop planned protests.  “If he thinks we’re just going to forget about it, if he thinks that it’s going to get swept under the rug — it’s not.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This club is a proven racist club with exclusive ties to supremacy and exclusion, and that’s something that’s not gonna be tolerated by me, by my associates, my affiliates or my organization,” the spokesman said.  BLM did not buy Whitehorse's claim that the club was on “the right side of pushing for improvements.” Bailey’s Beach Club is an elite private beach and club.  The BLM spokesman said, “you know what type of black people he brings in.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nypost.com/2021/07/29/blm-gives-senator-a-deal-to-cut-ties-with-all-white-country-club/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Edward Colston Statue ==&lt;br /&gt;
On June 11th 2020, the statue of [[Edward Colston]] was toppled from its original place which was first erected in Bristol in 1895, ever since the 1980's, people have wanted it gone due to him being related to the Slave Trade of the late 17th century. Home Secretary Priti Patel condemned the actions of BLM supporters defacing the statue, it was thrown into the river and was rescued a few days later, it is planned to be moved to a museum.&lt;br /&gt;

Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat]. 39.

Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce. 42.

Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the &amp;quot;big picture.&amp;quot; Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over. 32.

The '''Russia-Ukraine War''' is a proxy war started by the [[United States]] in 2014 with the violent overthrow of the [[democracy|democratically]] elected government of [[Ukraine]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://mronline.org/2022/04/09/the-u-s-proxy-war-in-ukraine/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; aided by [[neo-Nazi]] forces.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/5SBo0akeDMY&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2018, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a provision blocking any training of the neo-nazi [[Azov Battalion]] by American forces.  The House previously passed amendments banning support of Azov between 2014 and 2017, but due to pressure from the [[Pentagon]], the amendments were quietly lifted.  This was protested by the [[Simon Wiesenthal]] Center which stated that lifting the ban highlighted the danger of [[Holocaust]] distortion in Ukraine.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://greekcitytimes.com/2022/03/01/greek-in-mariupol-fascist-ukrainian/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  NATO by-passed Congressional action by training Azov fighters in [[Canada]]. Congress later rescinded the prohibition in 2019.  ''[[Yahoo News]]'' reported on January 13, 2022, six weeks before the Russian incursion:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;The CIA is overseeing a secret intensive training program in the U.S. for elite Ukrainian special operations forces and [[Security Service of Ukraine|other intelligence personnel]], according to five former intelligence and national security officials familiar with the initiative. The program, which started in 2015, is based at an undisclosed facility in the Southern U.S., according to some of those officials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The program has involved ‘very specific training on skills that would enhance’ the Ukrainians’ ‘ability to push back against the Russians,’ said the former senior intelligence official.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The training, which has included ‘tactical stuff,’ is ‘going to start looking pretty offensive if Russians invade Ukraine,’ said the former official.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One person familiar with the program put it more bluntly. ‘The United States is training an insurgency,’ said a former CIA official, adding that the program has taught the Ukrainians how ‘to kill Russians.’”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://news.yahoo.com/cia-trained-ukrainian-paramilitaries-may-take-central-role-if-russia-invades-185258008.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

===2014: U.S. overthrow of the democratically elected government===&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Maidan coup}}&lt;br /&gt;
In 2014, the [[United States]], under the [[Obama administration]], orchestrated the overthrow of the [[democracy|democratically]] elected government of Ukraine.  This violated the &amp;quot;rules based order&amp;quot; that the United States claims to advocate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ethnic cleansing in Donbas===&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Ethnic cleansing in the Donbas|}}&lt;br /&gt;
The Maidan regime adopted a policy of ethnic cleansing of ethnic Russians and Russian-speaking people in the Donbas region shortly after the [[Obama administration]] installed it in power in 2014.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===US owned biological labs===&lt;br /&gt;

On February 23, 2022 Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered Russian troops into Greater Ukraine in a demilitarization and denazification operation.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://tass.ru/politika/13825671&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; As it is crucial in purging neo-Nazis, the Russian military is stopping genocidal extermination in Donbas, arresting human sex traffickers, and destroying extremely dangerous biowarfare labs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a televised speech shortly before 4:00 AM Moscow time on February, 24, 2022, Putin announced that he had ordered Russian forces to enter Donbas. He insisted it was not Russia's intention to annex the Donbas Republics or Ukraine, but stated that Russia would protect the right of the Donbas Republics to [[self-determination]], and that it would do so by forcing the &amp;quot;demilitarization&amp;quot; of the remainder of the Ukraine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In city after city as the Russians advanced, the Kyiv regime refused to order evacuations of civilians, using civilians as [[human shields]] while hiding troops and heavy weapons among the population, exposing them to risk in violation of the international rules of war.  During a ceasefire&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;quot;regime of silence&amp;quot; is the literal translation from Russian and Ukranian for &amp;quot;ceasefire&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; negotiation on a Russian proposal to create humanitarian corridors for civilians to escape, Ukrainian Security forces murdered their own negotiator who was trying to avert a humanitarian crisis.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/member-of-ukrainian-peace-negotiation-team-dead-report&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The Ukrainian security forces have been dominated and controlled by neo-Nazi groups, including the presidential security detail, ever since U.S. Undersecretary of State [[Victoria Nuland]] awarded the security services and Defense Ministry cabinet posts to the neo-Nazi groups Nuland had collaborated with during the illegal U.S.-backed Maidan coup.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Anchor|Kinzhal}}&lt;br /&gt;
On March 12, 2022, Russian forces combat tested for the first time the hypersonic ''Kinzhal'' (''Daggar'') missile against a NATO weapons storage facility at Deliatyn. A hypersonic missile can fly at 5 times the speed of sound (3,800 mph) and even greater.  NATO, which has used the Ukraine conflict to showcase new weapons technology which only serves to prolong the conflict and increase the death toll, at the time had no such weapon operational nor defense against hypersonic missiles. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four weeks into the incursion, Kherson and most of the Zaporozhye region were under the Russian control. The Ukrainian Air Force and air defense system were almost completely destroyed, the Ukrainian Navy did not exist anymore.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://tsarizm.com/news/eastern-europe/2022/03/25/ukraine-sitrep-march-25-2022/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  According to the Russian Ministry of Defense (MOD), the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) amounted to about 30 thousand servicemen, including more than 14 thousand KIA.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a viral video, Ukrainian forces entered a village in the Donbas and prodded an elderly couple to use the Ukrainian fascist greeting, &amp;quot;Slava Ukraine&amp;quot; (&amp;quot;Glory to Ukraine&amp;quot;), the Ukrainian Nazi equivalent of the &amp;quot;Heil Hitler&amp;quot; greeting,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/250641&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The elderly wife approached the Ukrainian troops holding a World War II Soviet flag, mistaking them for Russian troops.  The woman told the soldiers that she and her husband had “waited, prayed for them, for Putin and all the people.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/05/04/explainer-how-a-ukrainian-pensioner-became-a-pro-war-symbol-in-russia-a77573&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  A Ukrainian soldier handed her a bag of food, took the flag, laid it on the ground and stood on it while attempting to persuade her to use the fascist greeting.  The ''babushka'' (grandma) was aghast pointing at the flag, &amp;quot;My parents died for this flag, and you are stepping on it,&amp;quot; as she handed the food back. The Soviet Babushka became an iconic symbol of Russian resistance to NATO and Ukrainian fascism.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/9ttm23dLLNbU/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, to date, the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine amounted to about 30 thousand servicemen, including more than 14 thousand KIA.  The smuggling of NATO anti-tank weapons into Ukraine forced the Russians to depend upon long range artillery to pulverize Ukrainian forces.  Ukraine lacked both the artillery and ammunition to respond.  NATO supplies could not compete with the Russian arsenal, and efforts to transport NATO heavy weapons by rail to the front where they were needed led to the destruction of Ukrianian infrastructure and the rail network by the Russian airforce and cruise missiles across the territory.&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
On March 25, 2022 the Russian Ministry of Defense officially confirmed that storming of Ukrainian cities was not a priority but rather the destruction of Ukrainian armed forces.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/tGJf60o9-mk&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Russian troops only entered cities on the independent territories of the [[DPR]] and [[LPR]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.defenseone.com/threats/2022/03/forces-halt-kyiv-advance-russia-says-donbass-was-only-goal-all-along/363650/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  High-precision weapons were used to suppress the entire military infrastructure of the enemy, the main goal being to exhaust the AFU units and force them to surrender.  NATO warlords kept some units fighting, exposing civilians to risk as AFU units used civilians as human shields.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to reports from ''[[The Times]]'' of London on March 27, 2022, Zelensky sent a handwritten letter to Putin via Roman Abramovich giving full details about Ukraine’s conditions for ending the war.  Putin is reported to have responded saying, &amp;quot;Tell him I will destroy him.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://hindustannewshub.com/world-news/russia-ukraine-talks-speak-to-zelensky-i-will-ruin-it-putin-threatens-ukrainian-presidents-handwritten-peace-proposal/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;   Abramovich, owner of the Chelsea football club in London and a target of Uk sanctions, suffered a suspected [[poison]]ing in Kyiv while preparing for peace talks with Putin.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10660555/Roman-Abramovich-suffered-suspected-POISONING-Ukraine-peace-negotiators.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 31, 2022 a group of Russian Airborne Forces were ambushed, detained, disarmed, had their throats slit, and were left to massively bleed out  during the Russian withdrawal from Kyiv.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://videos.files.wordpress.com/0eaR9kYS/throat-cutting.mp4&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 8, 2022 dozens of people were reported to have died in a Ukrainian Tochka-U missile attack on a railway station in the Donbas city of Kramatorsk.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/04/a-ukrainian-tochka-u-missile-killed-dozens-at-kramatorsk-train-station.html?cid=6a00d8341c640e53ef02788075c349200d&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The missile was fired from the southwest territory controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.  The serial number on  the missile identified it as coming from Ukrainian stocks.  As in Mariupol, Ukrainian forces denied civilians access to escape in order to use them as human shields in urban combat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
April 11, 2022 was reported to be the worst day of the war for the [[Zelensky regime]] thus far, with over 1,100 AFU either killed, wounded, or captured in a single day.  When AFU soldiers began to surrender in large groups, reports emerged that the commanders of the nationalist Azov formation, deployed their fighters in other AFU units as political commissars in order to prevent AFU fighters from surrendering.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://southfront.org/first-footage-from-illich-plant-in-mariupol-under-dpr-control-photos-video-18/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  AFU snipers were instructed to shoot AFU soldiers in the back if they were seen running the wrong direction.  Bodies of AFU soldiers carrying surrender instructions were found, executed by their own command with a shot in the back.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/8IQdm7AmA7YQ/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  AFU POWs attest to the presence of commissars and a rite of passage for newcomers to a unit which was videotaped - newcomers had to kill either a Russian POW or civilian.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/SOzTQI1lmpPF/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Brimstone.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Captured UK Brimstone missile.]]&lt;br /&gt;
On April 12, 2022 it was reported that Ukraine remains in the state of permanent chaos and security collapse. Regular reports about incidents involving organized crime, looting and shooting appear from almost all areas controlled by Kyiv’s forces. Units of the so-called '[[Territorial Defense]]' formed by the Kyiv government are among the main sources of civilian casualties and friendly fire incidents in the Kyiv-controlled part of Ukraine.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://southfront.org/last-days-of-kyivs-troops-in-mariupol-and-other-battlefield-developments/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 4, 2022 [[Pentagon]] officials boasted of having trained 23,000 Ukrainian troops at its former training facility at Yavoriv&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/3020199/dod-leaders-say-training-ukrainian-forces-is-paying-dividends/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; - most of which had already been destroyed on other fronts by May 2022.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/RWApodcast/status/1515384686364798983&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 8, 2022 it was reported that the Russians captured a fully intact Brimstone missile which can now be reversed engineered.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/ZmdZN77avfI&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  By the time the &amp;quot;hundreds&amp;quot; of Brimstones are launched against thousands of Russian tanks, a Russian and Chinese version of the Brimstone will likely be available.  From that point forward it is only a question of who can produce more faster.  The US and EU's sanction regime against Russia limits the availability of certain component materials needed.  Brimstone is a next generation improvement on the American Hellfire missile, bringing Hellfire and Brimstone to the battlefield.  On the same day as the disastrous and humiliating defeat and surrender at Azovstal, May 17, 2022, a Russian missile hit a military barrack at Desna, a military base 46 miles northeast of Kyiv, killing 87.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://sonar21.com/desna-is-just-one-disaster-for-the-ukrainian-military/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On May 18, 2022, the Russian MOD showed video footage of two American Howitzers knocked out by a suicide drone when it landed between them.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://ria.ru/20220518/gaubitsy-1789199038.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The AFU reportedly used the M777 howitzers with 155 mm caliber shells to attack civilians in the city of Donetsk.  On May 19, 2022 the CIA-controlled ''Kyiv Independent'' finally report that Zelensky claimed Ukraine was losing 100 soldiers daily;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://kyivindependent.com/uncategorized/zelensky-ukraine-may-be-loosing-up-to-100-soldiers-fighting-in-the-east-every-day/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; others had placed the figure at 500 daily two weeks earlier;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/05/ukraine-sitrep-russians-break-through-us-bolsterism.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; still others placed the figure at 400-700 daily.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/sBMtDJYIHiiS/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Two months into the fighting on the Donbas front Ukrainian commanders were deserting the men they were leading.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/ADGMeZV_cms&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/hhVFTki_Unw&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Many of the conscripts had only two days training, as most of Ukraine's front-line soldiers had either been captured, killed, or deserted and began walking home.  Morale in the AFU, as well as in the general society, dropped quickly after the fairy tale of proud and committed soldiers bravely resisting in Azovstal was shattered.  On May 22, 2022, 230 AFU members were killed and 33 armored vehicles were destroyed by the Russian Armed Forces, according to the Russian MOD.  In the Donetsk People’s Republic, the DPR and LPR troops with support from the Russian Armed Forces had liberated and established control over 216 settlements as of this date.  War Gonzo reported the presence of two battalions of Polish infantry in the city of Pavlograd in the Dnipropetrovsk region being prepared for further transfer to the Avdiivka front.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/AZmilitary1/status/1528343685334704128&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Pavlograd is the most important transport hub for supplying the AFU in Donbas.  Roads run from it to Marinka and the Kramatorsk-Slavic agglomeration. The railway goes towards Avdiivka.  Each battalion has four &amp;quot;Rapier&amp;quot; anti-tank guns, as well also American made armored personnel carriers. It was not clear whether they were Polish regulars or mercenaries.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://lenta.ru/news/2022/05/22/pavlograd/?utm_source=yxnews&amp;amp;utm_medium=desktop&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  A missile attack was launched on a military facility in Pavlograd.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://soldat.pro/en/2022/05/24/po-voennomu-obektu-v-pavlograde-nanesyon-udar-na-fone-soobshhenij-o-pribytii-tuda-podrazdelenij-s-territorii-polshi/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 24, 2022 ''[[Politico]]'' actually reported that the [[US Department of Homeland Security]] issued a warning that American white supremacists were traveling to Ukraine so they can gain combat experience from the Ukrainian Nazis.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/24/american-fighters-ukraine-white-supremacists-00034860&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 25, 2022, Kyiv regime spokesperson Alexey Arestovich blamed Germany for Ukrainian losses in the Donbas.

{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Let’s be honest: Russia is now having a tactical success in Ukraine, which threatens to develop into an operational one in the Lysychansk-Severodonetsk direction.

Russell Bentley, Information Officer, of the Donetsk People's Republic reported:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;on Monday May 30th, in the mid-morning hours, Three separate schools in the center of Donetsk were specifically targeted and bombed by heavy artillery of the Ukrainian Army. May 30th is traditionally the last day of the school year in Donetsk, as it is in Russia, and all schools, from [[kindergarten]]s to universities, hold a celebration called &amp;quot;Last Bell&amp;quot;. It is a joyous celebration, with family members attending, everyone dressed in their finest attire, with songs and poems, awards, balloons, flowers, cake and refreshments. It was these ceremonies that were specifically targeted by the Ukrainian Army, at Schools #22 and #13, and Gymnasium #33. The heavy artillery, 152mm and US-supplied 155mm shells, arrived with pinpoint accuracy, right in front of the schools, where hundreds of students, teachers and their families would have been gathered, had the celebrations not been cancelled, precisely because of the danger of ukrop nazi shelling. In spite of the precautions, two teachers, and one little girl, Lilia Ripenko died. There were also multiple wounded. Had the attack turned out as planned, there would have been scores or even hundreds of dead and wounded, many, if not most, would have been school children.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.greanvillepost.com/2022/06/16/from-uvalde-to-ukraine-school-shooters-at-work/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

In an interview with the Kyiv-based Interfax news agency in late May 2022, Oleksandra Koval, director of the Ukrainian Book Institute (UBI) which is part of the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine, estimated that more than 100 million copies of Russian language books would be removed from Ukrainian public libraries, fully half of all libraries’ holdings.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thesaker.is/ukrainian-government-plans-book-banning-on-massive-scale/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The city council of Nikolaev banned the teaching of the Russian language in schools.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://europe-cities.com/2022/06/18/the-authorities-of-nikolaev-banned-the-russian-language-at-school-from-september-1/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  According to a 2017 survey, 63% of the population spoke Russian, 7% Ukrainian, and 28% spoke both Ukrainian and Russian equally.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://web.archive.org/web/20170822212837/http://www.iri.org/sites/default/files/2017-8-22_ukraine_poll_presentation.pdf Public Opinion Survey of Residents of Ukraine June 9 – July 7, 2017&amp;quot; (PDF).] iri.org.

On June 1, 2022 Russia carried out a [[nuclear war]] drill inside the Russian Federation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 6, 2022 the Russian MOD reported the capture of 15 villages without a fight as Ukrainian forces began disobeying the orders of Zelensky, the Ukrainian general staff and their commanders, and retreated along the Seversky Donets line.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 8, 2022 Ukrainian losses exceeded 800 for the day.  On June 12, 2022 Zelensky signed a decree that supposedly legalized sending untrained members of the Territorial Defense to the front lines as cannon fodder, a practice of the Ukrainian government that had been illegally going on in violation of the Territorial Defense members' contracts for well over a month already.  The Kyiv regime turned the weapons it received from NATO and the West on the civilian population of Donbass rather than military targets.  There were children among the victims.  By June 14, 2022 the Kyiv regime fired a Tochka-Us against civilians in Bryansk, in the Russian Federation, and other artillery attacks along the Russian border.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 12, 2022 a Russian Kalibr cruise missile&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The 3M14T Kalibr cruise missile has a range of 1500-2500 kilometers. The missile’s guidance system is built around an INS [inertial navigation system] and GLONASS satellite guidance systems, has a top speed of Mach 2.9, can fly as low as 20 meters above water and 50 meters above ground with a help of a TERCOM [terrain contour matching] system, and is armed with a 450 kg HE-FRAG [high explosive fragmentation] or bunker buster warhead.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; destroyed a very large store of NATO weapons in the Ternopil region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As of June 15, 2022 the Russian forces had liberated 816 cities, towns and villages.  The Russians have been able to form military units out of captured and surrendered Ukrainian fighters, beginning in the Republic of Zaporozhye.  The Ukrainian military presented the West with a wish list of heavy equipment that it felt, would not necessarily win the war, but enable them to hold the line against Russian forces. The list included: more artillery pieces than the [[U.S. Army]] and [[U.S. Marine Corps]] combined possess; more tanks than the United Kingdom and Germany combined possess.  The same day, Gen. [[Mark Milley]], chairperson of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a press conference,&lt;br /&gt;

{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Since 19 May, the 14th mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine alone has lost more than 2,100 people killed and wounded...Due to the low morale and psychological state of 800 people intended to make up for the losses of this formation, they refused to go to the area of ​​hostilities, accusing the officers of incompetence, bribery and nepotism in the payment of monetary allowances...In addition, in the 10th Ukrainian mountain assault brigade, about 100 servicemen of the reconnaissance unit were removed from combat missions due to mass disobedience to the command and taken to the city of Kremenchug for investigation.”}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
One of the first uses of the HIMAR rocket launch system given by the United States to Ukraine was to strike a [[hospital]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/FI1QHyC4HqHU/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  HIMARs have a firing range of up to 70 kilometers with pinpoint accuracy.  Real time intelligence sharing from the United States [[National Reconnaissance Office]], National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, [[Defense Intelligence Agency]], [[CIA]], and [[National Security Agency]] to geolocate targets is an act of war on the part of the United States.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thefederalist.com/2022/05/06/if-the-u-s-is-giving-ukraine-real-time-battlefield-intel-congress-needs-to-vote-on-it/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The United States has committed one third of its stockpile of HIMAR missiles to Ukraine, or about 8,000 missiles.  After combat testing in Ukraine, it became known that the Russians had the ability to shoot down HIMAR missiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 26, 2022 Russian forces retaliated for the recent Ukrainian artillery shelling of civilians with American Howitzer M777s in the Donetsk and Lugansk Republics which claimed at least 28 lives and more than 100 injured.  The Russians struck military and industrial installations in Kyiv, including a factory that produced MLRS.  The Russians launched 4 missiles on Kyiv which the Ukrainians were able to shoot down with their S-300 and BUK systems; however once being exposed, the Russians then were able to wipe the city of Kyiv's missile defense system.  According to reports, one of the S-300 missiles fell on a residential apartment complex.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights concluded on June 29, 2022 that the Armed Forces of the Ukraine used civilians as human shields in Stara Krasnyanka when Ukrainian soldiers took up positions inside a nursing home, effectively making the building a ligitimate military target.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/07/10/un-human-rights-report-shows-ukraine-military-used-nursing-home-residents-as-human-shields/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four months into the operation veteran Russian frontline war correspondent Alexander Sladkov spoke about what he found to be the condition of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as NATO continued pouring weapons intoThe the country, and Zelensky's relentless stand and fight orders:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;50,000 dead. That's one and half Army Corps or 5 Divisions, or 25 regiments, or 143 battalions. Dead Ukrainian soldiers lie wherever our troops advance. Their funeral services, in my opinion, are inactive.  They always leave their dead behind.  By the way, in the Soviet Army, in wartime, the regimental band became the funeral team, and the chief of the regiment managed the collection of bodies and the burial.  In the Ukrainian armed services, apparently, there is an immoral mess in this case.  This is a sign of a clear decay of order and discipline. This is typical of retreating, morally decomposed units.  Further going for the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be even sadder. Tragedy awaits them.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/1hjwvOSjZAvB/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Cold War]] intelligence analysts considered the fact that Red Army units always removed their dead from the battlefield even in retreat, and buried them with dignity, as indicative of the [[Russian Orthodox]] belief in the [[resurrection]], and the failure of [[Marxist]] political ideology to penetrate the Russian military as an institution.  IOWs, the Soviet political leaders never depended on the Red Army to defend Marxism because the military, as an institution, would not give up its deeply held religious and spiritual beliefs.  &amp;quot;There are no [[atheist]]s in foxholes,&amp;quot; as the saying goes.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Former [[GRU]] Capt. [[Viktor Suvorov]] said many people joined the Soviet military as the only means to express political opposition to the Soviet Communist Party.  Red Army units always had political commissars attached, empowered to execute anyone, including commanding officers, not carrying out Communist party instructions.  They were abolished by the Russian Federation, however the NATO-trained AFU has political commissars from the SBU on the battlefield who shoot retreating or surrending troops, as Soviet Red Army commissars did during World War II.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

Larry Johnson&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://sonar21.com/understanding-the-tactical-situation-in-ukraine-based-on-the-russian-mod-daily-briefings/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; summarized reports of the Russian MOD between July 4 and 9, 2022 which by summer 2022 had proven more credible than any informtion coming from the Ukrainian government, the Pentagon, the D.C.-based Institute for the Study of War, UK sources, or Western [[mainstream media]].  A total of 20 specific Ukrainian military forces were hit with missile and artillery strikes during this 6 day period (the numbers include locations identified as a base for foreign mercenaries). 50% of the strikes occurred in the DPR.  Kharkiv, which is about 300 miles northeast of Donetsk, accounted for three strikes (4-6 July 4-6, 2022).  There was one strike in Zelenodolsk, which is in the Dnepropetrovsk oblast. That missile strike killed 40.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Donetsk People’s Republic, Russia hit 13 Command Posts (CPs) between July 4 and 6, 2022.  In Nikolaev, Russia hit 6 CPs and killed 375 Ukrainians. A Foreign Mercenary base also was hit.  The Russian MOD did not report hitting any CPs in the Kharkiv region. However, the missile strikes did result in 535 dead Ukrainian troops.  The Russian MOD briefing also provides a summary of military equipment destroyed. For example, the MOD reports that 3,995 tanks and armored combat vehicles have been destroyed. Ukraine started the war with 1472 tanks and 20 tank destroyers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the data and evidence collected by the Russian Foundation for Combating Repression, the Ukrainian military were given direct orders to use weapons to kill against civilians of Donbas.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://fondfbr.ru/en/articles/sergey-yudayev-en/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Vladimir Putin set forth a claim under the doctrine of 'anticipatory collective self-defense', devised originally by the [[Clinton administration]] and NATO in regard to the 1998 [[Kosovo]] conflict,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/rsSB_2RShBQ&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; as it applies to Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; https://consortiumnews.com/2022/03/29/russia-ukraine-the-law-of-war-crime-of-aggression/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The unilateral declarations of independence by the Donbas republics are completely legal and precedented by [[the West]]'s successful demands for Kosovo to be recognized as independent from [[Serbia]], and adjudicated as such by the International Courts.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.icj-cij.org/en/case/141&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Organization of World Peace reported in 2021, “according to Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council Decree no. 117/2021, Ukraine has committed to putting all options on the table to taking back control over the Russian annexed Crimea region. Signed on March 24th, President Zelensky has committed the country to pursue strategies that . . . ‘will prepare and implement measures to ensure the de-occupation and reintegration of the peninsula.’”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://theowp.org/ukraine-declares-all-options-possible-even-war-to-retake-crimea-from-russia/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Given that the residents of Crimea, most of whom are ethnic Russians, are quite happy with the current state of affairs under Russian governance – this, according to a 2020 ''[[Washington Post]]'' report – Zelensky’s threat in this regard was not only a threat against Russia itself but was also a threat of potentially massive bloodshed against a people who do not want to go back to Ukraine.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.ph/5s7Cd&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The Donbas war represents a much more compelling case for justifying Russian intervention under the ''Responsibility to Protect'' (R2P) doctrine which has been advocated by such Western ‘humanitarians’ as [[Hillary Clinton]], [[Samantha Power]], and [[Susan Rice]], and which was relied upon to justify the NATO interventions in countries like the former [[Yugoslavia]] and [[Libya]].&lt;br /&gt;

The cities of Severodonetsk (pop.110,000), Kramatorsk (pop. 150,000), and Slovyansk (pop. 107,000), south of the Izium front, formed the heart of the cauldron.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 7, 2022 Russian state media announced that half of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) - 120,000 soldiers - were trapped in the Donbas cauldron.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thesaker.is/the-russian-military-intervention-in-the-ukraine-a-macro-view/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The Donbas cauldron was confirmed closed on March 14, 2022.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thesaker.is/on-maps-wars-and-hate-filled-mobs-canceling-russia/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  By March 27, 2022, it was estimated that close to half of this force has already been killed, wounded, taken prisoner, or probably accounting for by far most, deserted and fled. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The city of Volnovakha was liberated on March 11, 2022.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nypost.com/2022/03/12/ukraine-city-of-volnovakha-falls-to-russians/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To free up strength for the encirclement of what remained of the Ukrainian army group in the Donbas, Russian units were partially de-blockaded and redeployed away from Sumy to the northwest and Nikolaev to the southwest.  The forces redeployed from Sumy moved through Russia proper towards the Izium area.  Fresh forces also were brought in through the port of Berdiansk on the Sea of Azov, where a Russian cargo ship was set on fire and sunk under unclear circumstances.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/1A3-ee5iDxc&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Survivors allege that Ukrainian terrorists took hostage more than 70 people who were in the Kremensk boarding school for the elderly and disabled. As a result of a fire caused by shelling from the Ukronazis, more than 50 people were burned alive.  Ukrainian nationalists used employees and wards as human shields. The command decided to occupy the building. The defense was organized on the third floor. Below were people who could not move on their own.  Ukrainian media reported that the orphanage was shelled by the Russian armed forces and the People's Militia. However, the survivors blame the Kyiv security forces for this.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/Hr7hgUwjiGY&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time the Mariupol cauldron was boiling over on April 1, 2022 some 60,000 Ukrainian forces remained trapped, lacking fuel, in the Donbas cauldron.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 10, 2022 [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] ordered the AFU to attack the territory of the Russian Federation.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/6EEQkyurD-Q&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:May 30, 2022 cauldrons.PNG|left|300px|thumb|Developing encirclements, May 30, 2022.]]&lt;br /&gt;
On April 13, 2022 it was reported that Ukraine formed three new battalions from the Alekseevska, Kachanivska and 43rd penal colonies in Kharkiv, where those convicted of grave and especially grave [[crime]]s were kept.  These new battalions are supposed to blockade Kharkiv from the southern side and by no means allow the local population to leave the city and the subsequent retreat of AFU combat units.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 7, 2022 six civilian vehicles with white flags mounted on them were shot at by AFU soldiers on a stretch of road between Staryi and Novyi Saltov.  The photo and video footage were made by specialists from the AFU’s Centre for Information and Psychological Operations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 13, 2022 Armed Forces of Ukraine shelled the civilian areas in the city of Gorlovka (pop. 240,000).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/QLlPswoZIkU&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The difficulty Russians experienced in establishing a crossing over the Seversky Donets river during the month of May caused the development of multiple mini-cauldrons, or &amp;quot;boilers&amp;quot; throughout the Donbas front.  The strategic use of ''kesselschlacht'' or cauldron warfare does not require the complete physical encirclement of enemy forces - encirclement can be achieved by artillery fire control of escape routes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strategic and tactical military logic would dictate that the Kyiv regime and its Western allies withdraw AFU troops slowly from the cauldron, line to line, with the task of inflicting the maximum possible losses on the advancing Russian troops and, as far as possible, maintaining the combat capability of their troops deployed in the west bank regions of the Seversky Donets river, while accumulating reserves. At the same turn, it was advisable to deploy the equipment received from NATO.  But the Ukrainians did not do all this.  On the contrary, Kyiv threw more and more reserves into the Donbas meat grinder, which were methodically destroyed by Russian artillery, aircraft and missile strikes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 27, 2022 ''The Washington Post'' finally reported in an article entitled, ''Ukrainian Volunteer Fighters In The East Feel Abandoned'', on the fighting men's fate.  In mid February 2022 they were still civilians. They 'volunteered' for the territorial defense with the hope of serving near their homes, to avoid a draft into the army:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Stuck in their trenches, the Ukrainian volunteers lived off a potato per day as Russian forces pounded them with artillery and Grad rockets on a key eastern front line…Outnumbered, untrained and clutching only light weapons, the men prayed for the barrage to end — and for their own tanks to stop targeting the Russians...[A]fter three months of war, this company of 120 men is down to 54 because of deaths, injuries and desertions.&lt;br /&gt;
The volunteers were civilians before Russia invaded on Feb. 24, and they never expected to be dispatched to one of the most dangerous front lines in eastern Ukraine. They quickly found themselves in the crosshairs of war, feeling abandoned by their military superiors and struggling to survive....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lapko, built like a wrestler, was made a company commander in the 5th Separate Rifle Battalion, in charge of 120 men. The similarly burly Khrus became a platoon commander under Lapko. All of their comrades were from western Ukraine. They were handed AK-47 rifles and given training that lasted less than a half-hour.  “We shot 30 bullets and then they said, ‘You can’t get more; too expensive,’ ” Lapko said.  They were given orders to head to the western city of Lviv. When they got there, they were ordered to go south and then east into Luhansk province in Donbas...&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.ph/RoKXI&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:96% of Burisma's production comes from Dniepr-Donets Basin.PNG|right|300px|thumb|96% of [[Burisma]] oil and gas production comes from the Donets Basin (Donbas), from a 2018 Burisma promotional video.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/IFk5wgMl2k8&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
The men were put into a frontline ditch and have since been shelled again and again without any ability to respond. They disregarded the orders from above and left. They were then arrested.  The Zelensky regime had sent 14,000 members of the ill-trained, ill-equipped, ill-prepared members of the Territorial Defense into the Donbas cauldron.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the Russian offensive intensified, the pace of surrenders accelerated.  The offensives in village after village and town after town was stop and go, as ceasefires were called to allow civilian evacuations.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 6, 2022 seven civilians were reportedly killed in Donetsk by artillery shelling from a M777 155 mm Howitzer donated by NATO to Ukrainian forces.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 28, 2022 it was reported that the Ukrainians had amassed about 20,000 troops which had been withdrawn from several surrounding fronts around the town of Siversk (pop. 10,000) in the Northern Donetsk Republic, between Izium and Lysychansk.  Another 20,000 were reported around the Bakhmut fortress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Izium-Kharkiv front====&lt;br /&gt;
Since the capture of Izium in eastern Kharkiv province by the Russians in early April 2022, the civilian population of the city became the target of Grad rockets (many bearing cluster submunitions) on a daily basis by the Kyiv regime.  On April 28, 2022 Russian air defense forces repelled an attack by a Ukrainian Tochka-U ballistic missile on residential areas of Izium. The target of the strike was the city hospital, where the Russian medical detachment is located providing assistance to the population of Kharkiv Region.  “The Kyiv nationalist regime’s indiscriminate missile strikes on the residential areas of Izium and Kherson are a war crime and a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law,” the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The optical plant at Izium, where the viewfinder for the Stugna-P anti-tank device is manufactured, was seized in early April 2022.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a high priority in Operation Denazification, on April 11, 2022 the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that it had eliminated a notorious neo-Nazi leader 5 kilometers south of Izium. Taras Bobanich was the leader of the [[Lviv]] Pravy Sektor.  Tass reported,&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Troop strength May 20 2022.PNG|left|300px|thumb|Russian troop strength, May 20, 2022 with the Popasana &amp;quot;flower&amp;quot; blooming out. ]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Since 2014, he had participated in the Kiev regime’s punitive operation in Donbass. He personally gave orders for bombardments of Donetsk and Lugansk residential areas from heavy artillery guns. He is guilty of the deaths of hundreds of civilians of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, including children,&amp;quot; the ministry stressed.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://tass.com/politics/1435691&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}} &lt;br /&gt;
On April 22, 2022 reports emerged of the capture of the largest weapons depot in Ukraine by Russian forces in the Kharkiv region.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/Br5qFtL1yhja/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Russians have been firing 40,000-60,000 artillery shells per day, mostly on the Izium front. The United States pledged to send 190,000 artillery shells to Ukraine, which cam be consumed in 4 days.  Ukrainian soldiers complained of high losses, constant shelling day and night, of commanders having deserted, no treatment for the wounded, low ammunition, no sleep, and despite malfunctioning weapons, soldiers were told they were forbidden to retreat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 13, 2022 Russian forces took control of the village of Dolgenkoe located 20 km to the South of Izium.  The heights near the village fell under Russian control.  A large grouping of the AFU was deployed in the forests nearby.  After Russian servicemen entered one of the Ukrainian checkpoints, they found the corpse of a woman who had been [[rape]]d and killed by Ukrainian soldiers.&lt;br /&gt;

Ukrainian forces blew up a tank with [[ammonium nitrate]]. According to the statement of the Russian Defense Ministry, Ukrainian nationalists under the leadership of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) blew up a fertilizer storage facility near the village of Dolgenkoe. They aimed to poison the local population and blame the Russian army for this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The town of Liman (pop. 20,000), a key railway hub and the only escape route from the cauldron, was liberated in hours on May 26, 2022 with little fighting as Ukrainian forces fled.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/9E5MCJsiutxJ/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  By mid-June 2022 over 500 Ukrainians surrendered in the area in two days.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Russian Armed Forces used a new version of the ''Solntsepek'' (or ''Sunburn'') heavy flamethrower system, TOS-2, during an offensive at Stary Soltov near Kharkiv.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/9gUBGTGraMI&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It is based on TOS-1A with significant advantages. The platform truck has an increased cross-country capability, increased engagement range and fully automated firing process and protected by an electronic jamming system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A 17th century wooden church designated as part of a larger [[UNESCO]] historic site at Sviatohirsk was used by Ukrainian forces as a weapons storage dump and was destroyed by fire on June 4, 2022.  The mayor confirmed that Ukrainian forces took the monks hostage and set fire to the church as they retreated.  The larger monastery however was preserved intact by liberating Russian forces.  The same day AFU artillery shells struck six schools in Donetsk again, this time the same 3 schools they had attacked on May 30, plus three more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 9, 2022 two American mercenaries were captured by Russian forces near Kharkiv.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2022/06/15/exclusive-first-two-us-fighters-captured-russian-forces-battle/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 16, 2022 Russian forces destroyed the headquarters of the neo-Nazi [[Kraken unit]] in the Kharkiv region&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/261CQakgvus&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 21, 2022 Ukraine received 7 German made PH-2000 self-propelled Howitzers with 5 more expected soon to follow from the Netherlands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 29, 2022 Russian artillery destroyed up to 100 militants of the Nazi Kraken formation and about 10 units of military in the Kharkiv region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Battle of Severodonetsk-Lysychansk====&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Battle of Severodonetsk-Lysychansk}}&lt;br /&gt;
The battle for Severodonetsk-Lysychansk metropolitan area ended with the victory of Russian-led forces. AFU forces suffered about 7,000 casualties in the Battle of Severodonetsk-Lysychansk.  The front line of Bakhmut/Artemovsk – Soledar-Seversk became the new hotspot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Slovyansk-Kramatorsk front====&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Donbass cauldron July 5, 2022.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Donbas cauldron July 10, 2022.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The city of Slovyansk is surrounded by hills on almost all sides. The Ukrainian steppes begin to the west of the city.  This is why Slavyansk is of strategic importance in the war in Ukraine and was the site of fierce clashes in 2014.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strategic positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) were established on the heights around the city, making it more difficult for Russian forces to advance from the northern, north-eastern and eastern directions.  The Ukrainian command reportedly deployed three US-made HIMARS to the south-east of the Kharkiv region.  The front line ran along the Seversky Donets River, with Ukrainian firing positions on the heights of the southern bank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 9, 2022 President Pushilin of the DNR announced that the Battle of Slovyansk officially began.  The advance on Slovyansk was being led by Chechen fighters.  Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi is reported to have asked Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky to withdraw what forces remained from the hopeless situation along the Severodonsk front to fortified positions around Kramatorsk and Slovyansk.  An estimated 8,000-12,000 troops were sent to the Severodonetsk-Lysichansk front, ill-trained, ill-prepared, and ill-equipped.   Zelesnky had resisted all requests from all quarters to withdraw the troops as the Russians advanced, needlessly leaving thousands of men to their deaths in a war that Ukraine could not win, only to generate sympathy and money from the Western public and their governments through Western media that reported every bit of the lies of official Ukrainian propaganda as if it were factual reporting and truth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to DPR authorities, there may be as many as 70,000 Ukrainian fighters in the Slovyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration.  After the liberation of Lysychansk, more Ukrainian troops refused to serve as cannon fodder because of the incompetence of leadership.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/efgPrzzuhWY&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On July 13, 2022 Russian forces entered the outskirts of the towns of Seversk and Soledar (pop. 10,000).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Avdiivka-Dontesk front====&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|First Battle of Avdiivka}}&lt;br /&gt;
On March 12, 2022 the second Battle of Avdiivka, just north of Donetsk city, began.  On March 15, Ukrainians counterattacked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ukraine’s extensive, deeply-layered defense in the Donbas was broken apart, one hedgerow or defense line at a time.  Every town or village taken by DPR forces was an absolute mess of destroyed homes, sliced-up trees, abandoned trenches or bunkers, wrecked Ukrainian equipment, Ukrainian bodies, and the weapons and munitions, disorganized piles of supplies, and trash that the Ukrainians left.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://videopress.com/embed/LWJWQXqA&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  By March 27, 2022 DPR forces, with support from their own and Russian artillery as well as Russian airstrikes, finally broke through the painstakingly-engineered, heretofore-impenetrable first line of defense around Ukrainian-held Avdiivka (pop. 30,000).  About 15,000 Ukrainian troops remained in the Avdiivka bridgehead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 11, 2022 the AFU blew up a dam near Avdiivka, endangering the lives in civilian settlements and creating a humanitarian catastrophe, in order to slow down the advance of the DPR army and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/Levi_godman/status/1524411961454309382&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the end of May 2022, the civilians of the city of Donetsk remained under heavy bombardment by the Armed forces of Ukraine in Avdiivka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shelling of the civilians of Donetsk city by Ukrainian forces from Avdiivka continued throughout the end of May 2022 and into June in and effort to draw Russian forces away from the Severodonetsk-Lysichansk cauldron.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/RamXgEN7qewJ/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  On June 11, 2022 a mother and her 11 year old son were killed by Ukrainina shelling while shopping in an open market.  On June 13, 2022 300 projectiles were fired by the Ukrainian army or by 'nationalists' onto civilian areas of the city of Donetsk.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/kGrA_I4UNWs&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  It was the heaviest shelling in 8 years,  A maternity hospital and church were hit.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/Ub2H8mcvmcM&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; There were at lest 7 dead and 22 wounded.  According to the DPR authorities, the daily number of civilian victims exceeded the losses of the DPR military on the front lines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
French self-propelled 155-mm CAESAR howitzers were used to kill civilians.  The attack was ordered by Ukrainian Colonel Roman Vladimirovich Kachur, commander of the 55th Separate Artillery Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 20, 2022 the Ukrainians used for the first time their HIMAR missiles on the civilians of Donetsk, in addition to continued use of the M777 Howitzers.  At least 23 civilians were killed and more than 100 non-combatants were injured over several days of Ukrainian shelling of Donetsk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 25, 2022 Russian missiles killed 80 Polish mercenaries and destroyed 20 armored vehicles and eight GRAD multiple rocket launchers at the Megatex zinc production facility in Konstantinovka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Zaporozhye line===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 16, 2022 the Ukraine General Staff requested a counter-attack along the Zaporozhye line no matter what the cost. They launched a counter attack with of battalion strength in an attempt to push back the Russian attack.  However, the Ukrainians were not prepared. Even worse, on open ground.  Ukrainian forces lost two MLRS systems, 40 vehicles, 26 tanks, 12 IFVS destroyed and 300 Ukrainian casualties.  One of the Ukrainian tanks destroyed was a Polish built T-72M recently sent to Ukraine.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/laXpEgGlEsM&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In early June 2022 thousands of people began lining up in the city of Melitopol to apply for Russian passports which essentially grants Russian citizenship. When citizen remarked, “We got in line in 1991. But it got to us only now. Since 1991, we felt like this had to happen at some point. Of course, it took 30 years. But that’s OK, we know how to wait.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thedreizinreport.com/2022/06/03/please-help-me-wipe-up-pieces-of-my-exploded-head-off-the-computer-screen/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 13, 2022 Ukrainian shelling of Melitopol killed 3 civilians.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 14, 2022 Russian Ministry of Defense (MOD) spokesman Lt. Gen. Igor Konashenkov reported 32 Ukrainian servicemen of the 25th battalion of the 54th mechanized brigade in the area of ​​​​Novomikhailovka turned on the radio to the Russian command, asked for a cease fire and to provide a corridor for their surrender. As the ADU units with white flags began to advance towards the Russian positions, &amp;quot;a detachment of Ukrainian nationalists, who arrived at the stronghold on armored vehicles, opened crossfire at the servicemen of the 54th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the back. As a result of this shooting, 32 Ukrainian servicemen were fatally wounded and killed.”  Konashenkov noted such incidents have become more frequent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://english.pravda.ru/news/world/152311-surrender/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 16, 2022 the Russian MOD announced the elimination 280 Ukrainian fighters in the Razdolovka region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On July 12, 2022 the AFU targeted the Zaporizhya Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). The attack was complex, involving drone and artillery fire.  The Ukrainian Army used six kamikaze drones conducting reconnaissance mission over the Zaporizhya nuclear power plant and the city heating and water supply plant in Energodar. The UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) dropped two mines near the power plant, which reportedly did not cause any significant damage. Another drone was heading in the direction of residential buildings in Energodar, its course may have been corrected. The UAV attack was thwarted, none of the six drones reached their targets, and the air defense of the Zaporizhya region successfully prevented the attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On July 18, 2022 Ukraine again attacked the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant this time with three kamikaze drones.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/S7lEXNC_O80&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/OkuFVXm1V25q/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tauride Republic===&lt;br /&gt;
When the Russians initially entered Kherson (''Russ: XEPCOH'') city (pop. 280,000), they did not take down Ukrainian flags, replace the mayor, or interfere with the running of city government.  The Kyiv regime issued nationwide decrees that any cooperation with the Russian military (including accepting humanitarian aid) was collaboration and treasonous activity.  The SBU committeds reprisal actions against Ukrainian citizens in areas that the Russian military vacated. The Russian military restored the World War II war memorial in Kherson and introduced the Rubel to replace Ukrainian currency.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the end of March 2022, the AFU became more active in the Mykolaiv region. After an unsuccessful counteroffensive towards the Kherson Peoples Republic, Ukrainian forces opened massive fire from MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System) and artillery on two villages near Kherson, and destroyed civilian houses. The Russians repelled the attack with precise strikes.  A NATO backed partisan militia group was organized in Kherson and surrounding regions to carry out [[terrorist]] attacks against Russians and civilians.  The Kherson Peoples Republic was then organized.  Pensions were restored to all citizens.  Kherson and Zaporozhye were integrated into the Russian [[internet]] and the Time Zone advanced one hour to Moscow time.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Zaporozhye coat of arms.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Coat of Arms of the Tauride Republic.]]&lt;br /&gt;
In late April 2022, the Kyiv regime began shelling the civilian population of Kherson.  Overnight on April 28, 2022 the AFU launched a massive missile strike with Tochka-U ballistic missiles and high-powered multiple rocket launchers on the city center of Kherson. The target of the missile attack on Kherson were residential areas where kindergartens, schools and many social institutions are located.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From an area of private houses in Belaya Krinitsa in the Kherson region (pop. 1 million in the republic), the Ukrainian armed forces’ artillery struck several positions of the Russian Armed Forces in order to provoke retaliatory fire on residential buildings with civilians, whom the territorial defence fighters are not letting out of the blockaded settlement by holding them as a “human shield”.  A [[Norwegian]] media representatives was standy by in Belaya Krinitsa for photo ops and video of allegedly indiscriminate Russian shelling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 15, 2022 Kherson authorities urged residents not to be intimidated by the fascist forces of Ukraine' security service and assured that the Russian army would protect the local population.  “Do not be afraid, the Russian army will protect us, because every day, every hour, every second, at the cost of his own life, a Russian soldier protects the peace in Kherson, because we do not abandon our own,” Stremousov wrote.  Stremousov stressed that for the past month and a half he has been receiving messages from the residents of Kherson that a 15,000-strong group of the Ukrainian army is concentrated near the borders of the region, which is preparing for an offensive.  “I will make every effort to close the information attack of fear from Nazi propaganda,” Stremousov emphasized.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://en.news-front.info/2022/05/15/kherson-authorities-urged-residents-not-to-be-afraid-of-the-ukrainian-offensive-promised-by-kyiv/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 29, 2022 ''Tass'' reported on an alleged Ukrainian counteroffensive&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/4pp1CSpemaEJ/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and breach of Russian defenses: &amp;quot;about 20 Ukrainian combat vehicles tried to wade through but were reduced to dust with 210 people…According to our data, seventy people are still on the battlefield…The success of this operation is that Mr. Zelensky and other officials keep on declaring: &amp;quot;We are fine, we are winning’...But this is a lie...Today’s breakthrough that involved around six types of vehicles was stopped...The Kherson region is denazified forever...It is a Russian land.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://tass.com/economy/1457511&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The alleged Ukrainian &amp;quot;offensive&amp;quot; was halted at point blank range with the TOS-1A Solntsepek (''Sunburn'') thermobaric fuel air explosive multiple rocket launcher.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Also known as a vacuum bomb. A fuel air explosive sucks the oxygen out of the surrounding area and generates high heat. If a target is not close enough to be burned, they are suffocated as oxygen is literally sucked out of their lungs.  It is the most powerful non-nuclear conventional weapon in use which causes minimal lasting environmental damage. https://www.bitchute.com/video/hmfPCXHVaHDv/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Ukraine forces continued shelling residential areas, killing civilians.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/YrNQi1z-nqM&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 1, 2022 Ukrainian forces shelled civilians in Kherson, killing at least 3 with cluster munitions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/2VG0OksTiAI&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On July 11, 2022 Ukraine and its NATO allies launched a missile attack with HIMARS on the automobile and railway bridge crossing the Nova Kakhovka dam.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On July 17, 2022 a member of the council of the administration of the Zaporozhye region, Vladimir Rogov, called on the Kiev regime to stop the occupation of the regional center and withdraw their troops.  Approximately 70 per cent of the region was under the control of allied forces. At the same time, in the regional center - the city of Zaporozhye - there was a Ukrainian army. Rogov said, &amp;quot;Zaporizhzhya will be liberated. ... A plan is being developed to ensure that the liberation of the city takes place with minimal destruction of infrastructure, despite the fact that Zelensky's militants mined bridges and other facilities. We urge Zelensky to give the order to withdraw his troops and end the occupation of the city,&amp;quot; Rogov told RIA Novosti.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://web.archive.org/web/20220717140732/https://ria.ru/20220717/zaporozhe-1803000920.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  According to him, the population of the remaining part of the region &amp;quot;is waiting for liberation and asks to be saved from the occupation of Ukrainian nationalists.&amp;quot; Rogov claimed that militants, &amp;quot;policemen&amp;quot; and the SBU were conducting &amp;quot;mass raids&amp;quot; in the city:&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Antonovsky Bridge.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Effect of precision-guided HIMAR missile attack on the Antonovsky Bridge.]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;I urge the residents of the city to be careful. Do not receive [[subpoena]]s, do not be at the registration address, where you can be easily found. If possible, leave the city for the liberated territory. If such an opportunity is no longer available, stock up on food and water, and also find the safest place in the conditions of urban battles, to which Zelensky terrorists who took hostage the civilian population of the city are leading Zaporozhye.&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to the partisan terrorist activity, in late July 2022 Ukraine and its NATO allies began what Western media called a &amp;quot;counteroffensive&amp;quot; to interfere with the democratic process of a [[referendum]] scheduled for September.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On July 19 and 20, 2922 the Ukrainians and their NATO allies attacked the Antonovsky Bridge, a major supply route between the city of Kherson and Russian forces on the west side of the Dneipr River bridgehead.  The attack was carried out with precision-guided HIMAR missiles&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On July 20, 2022 the Ukrainians launched 12 HIMAR missiles attempting to knock out the Nova Kakhovka Dam railway bridge.  Russian S-400 missile defense system went 12 for 12 in knocking out the missiles fired by the American built ''[[Wunderwaffe]]''.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Some dispute existed between analysts and observers whether Russian war planners intended an encirclement of Odessa. After 31 days of fighting, no serious efforts appeared to have taken place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
General Dmytro Marchenko, who is in charge of the garrison in Mykolaiv (''Russ: Nikolayev''), vowed that for each Ukrainian who dies, he and his men will kill ten Russians and warned that any attacking troops will end up as food for stray dogs in the streets.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/russian-soldiers-become-dog-food-26447989&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 13, 2022, a Russian Ministry of Defense spokesman said,&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;We have seen attempts at sabotage and attacks by the Ukrainian military against facilities in Russian territory. If such attempts continue, the Russian Federation’s Armed Forces will strike at the decision-making centers, including Kiev – something we have so far refrained from.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://freepress.substack.com/p/what-russians-are-hearing?s=r&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
This was interpreted to mean Ukrainian attacks or provocations on Crimea, which was accepted into the Russian Federation in 2014 by a vote of the Russian State Duma after a popular plebiscite in Crimea overwhelmingly made the request, could result in missile attacks on military and political command centers in Kyiv.  NATO would like to occupy the deep water port of Sevastopol, which has been a major objective of NATO's actions in Ukraine since 2008.  On February 19, 2022, five days before the Special Military Operation in Ukraine began, the [[Atlantic Council]] published a paper which had been long in the works entitled, ''NATO must seize the current strategic opportunity in the Black Sea.''&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/nato-must-seize-the-current-strategic-opportunity-in-the-black-sea/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  On April 14, 2022, ''The Washington Examiner'' reported members of Congress asked the U.S. [[intelligence community]] specifically to aid Ukraine if it made efforts against Crimea.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/gop-wants-us-intelligence-community-to-help-ukrainians-retake-russian-occupied-territory&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 23, 2022 fascist dictator Volodymyr Zelensky said that Odessa may become “another Mariupol” soon.  The AFU was accumulating forces for the defense of the city and providing the supply of weapons from Romania and fuel from Moldova to the troops in the Mykolaiv and Krivoy Rog regions.  Russian missile strikes targeted AFU military infrastructure facilities. Russian servicemen struck a military airfield near Odessa. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, a large batch of weapons from the United States and the EU was destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;

To marr Moscow's May 9 [[Victory Day]] celebrations in commemoration of the 77th Anniversary of the defeat of the [[Banderite]]'s Western allies, [[Nazi Germany]], the Kyiv regime in conjunction with US and NATO war planners attempted a massive assault to retake Snake Island. The offensive failed, with more than 60 AFU forces dead, the loss of 4 bombers, 10 helicopters, 3 amphibious assault ships, and at least 30 [[Bayraktar drone]]s.  Sources say an American and UK high-ranking officers went missing after the attack.  An American marine lieutenant colonel and an English major from the commando brigade of the marine corps, landed on Snake Island together with Ukrainian fighters.  They coordinated the work of NATO intelligence assets and the Ukrainian landing forces.  Russian missiles also destroyed a massive NATO ammunition dump housed in a civilian infrastructure shopping mall in Odessa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 26, 2022 ''Southfront'' reported that because of the threat to the Black Sea fleet with the delivery of Harpoon missiles to Ukraine by Denmark, the Russian Federation may accelerate its combat operations in Odessa before the missiles are deployed with the Ukrainian military.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://southfront.org/ukrainian-seaports-to-become-first-battlefield-of-wwiii/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By May 31, 2022 the Zatoka bridge across the Dniester River which carried NATO weapons and fuel from Romania to Odessa was struck 8 times by Russia and rebuilt 7 times by Ukraine.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/E1v8XNnX4Mc&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In early June 2022, a British film production company began filming fake, staged combat footage near Mikoleav, completed with role players dressed as Russians, to show the alleged heroism and courage to the world of Ukrainian fighters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 16, 2022 the Russian MOD reported the elimination of another 200 Ukrainian troops in the Nikolaev region.  Ukrainians hit a Russian tug boat with a Harpoon missile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 19, 2922 high-precision long-distance Kalibr cruise missiles destroyed ten M777 155-mm Howitzers and up to 20 armored combat vehicles delivered by the West to the Kyiv regime in recent days that were hidden in a transformer plant in Nikolayev.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 22, 2022 the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the destruction of up to 500 Ukrainian soldiers at the Okean ship building plant in Nikolaev.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Security Service of Ukraine (SBU)===&lt;br /&gt;
In a state of martial law, Ukrainian civilians have been taped or tied to trees and street poles, abused and humiliated by the Territorial Defense under the Ministry of Interior and [[Security Service of Ukraine]] (SBU).  The victims usually are Russians, Russian-speakers, Gypsies, or petty offenders.  Elderly women and children have been subjected to this abuse.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/MtOig6UsjC72/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/VMS5cET98HOU/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/w1zvj2TAyWhL/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/OAyWmOcj0q8&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/SIf9NgzIi4fG/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/mTzRkEWl2ykv/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/xCt3MPtAPPjT/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/8AyLRBr4iHZo/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/a0RuhwSvHopF/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/7xDML7A5cZoU/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/mpjP0CCY5bUx/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/J2ByP6j3Ami4/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More egregious forms of [[torture]] and killing are systematically carried out by the [[Ukrainian gestapo]] and neo-Nazi groups under their control.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Luhansk, a former sausage factory converted into a torture facility in 2014 was liberated in May 2022.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/X61zQqz6dn0&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some units of the Territorial Defense and other groups are known to have worn green arm bands while carrying out terrorist attacks against civilians and political enemies.  It is thought that the green arm bands are a signal to local Ukrainian authorities not open criminal investigations into their activities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====&amp;quot;Peacemaker&amp;quot; kill list====&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Myrotvorets.PNG|left|1000px|thumb|The Myrotvorets website, a kill list authorizing on the spot execution of journalists and anyone deemed a &amp;quot;Russian sympathizer&amp;quot;, shows Langley, Virgina USA, home of the CIA (upper right corner) as its headquarters.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://myrotvorets.center/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Myrotvorets|Myrotvorets (&amp;quot;Peacemaker&amp;quot;)]] is an online searchable database of what its owner declares are “enemies of Ukraine,” containing personal [[doxxing]] information and addresses.  The website's mainpage lists Langley, Virginia, home of the CIA, and Warsaw, Poland as its official home.  Journalists who depart from the CIA and Kyiv party line are added to the list.  Ukrainian security services in the field regularly use the searchable database and anyone captured in Ukraine whose name appears in the database can be executed on the spot.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/tii5hPD1kEM&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blacklist is affiliated with the Ukrainian government and SBU and was founded by Anton Herashchenko, as of 2022 an advisor to the Zelensky regime's Ukraine’s Ministry of Internal Affairs.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2019/8/27/peacemaker-the-ukrainian-website-shaming-pro-russia-voices&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Multiple people have been killed soon after their names were added to the list.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://southfront.org/zelenskys-secret-cia-nazi-ukrainian-government/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Hunting down opposition supporters in allegedly &amp;quot;democratic&amp;quot; Ukraine, as leaders in NATO countries refer to it, in order to beat, humiliate, and even kill opponents is what Ukrainian radicals call “political safari.” American filmmaker [[Oliver Stone]] appears on the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Atrocities committed against civilians====&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Safari.PNG|left|300px|thumb|Ukraine Special Forces SAFARI was sent into Bucha after the Russian withdrawal to hunt down so-called &amp;quot;collaborators&amp;quot;, for example, people who  accepted Russian humanitarian relief.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/9vGUJXuYQZQ?t=686&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joe Lauria of Consortium News reported that on March 30, 2022, according to the Russian Defense Ministry, all Russian forces left Bucha.  This was confirmed on March 31 Bucha mayor Anatolii Fedoruk in a video on the Bucha City Council official Facebook page.  The translated post accompanying the video says:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“March 31 – the day of the liberation of Bucha. This was announced by Bucha Mayor Anatolii Fedoruk. This day will go down in the glorious history of Bucha and the entire Bucha community as a day of liberation by the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the Russian occupiers.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/BL8R6K5VdtI?t=519&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:SBU actions in Bucha April 2, 2022.PNG|right|300px|thumb|[[SBU]] special forces with Cyrillic '''СБУ''' acronym brutalizing civilians, April 2, 2022.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/NG_Strategy/status/1511921181259022343&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
There was no mention of a massacre of hundreds of civilians littering the streets. Evidence of crimes appeared only on the fourth day after the Security Service of Ukraine and representatives of Ukrainian media arrived in the town.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://consortiumnews.com/2022/04/04/questions-abound-about-bucha-massacre/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''The New York Times'' was in Bucha on April 2, 2022 and did not report a massacre.  Instead, the ''Times'' confirmed the Russian withdrawal was completed two days after the mayor of Bucha said it was, and that the Russians left “behind them dead soldiers and burned vehicles, according to witnesses, Ukrainian officials, satellite images and military analysts.”  The ''Times'' said reporters found the bodies of six civilians. “It was unclear under what circumstances they had died, but the discarded packaging of a Russian military ration was lying beside one man who had been shot in the head,” the paper said.  In Bucha, the ''Times'' was close to the neo-Nazi [[Azov Battalion]], whose soldiers appear in the newspaper’s photographs. The ''Times'' suggests that Azov Nazis may be responsible for the killings:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“Something very interesting then happens on [Saturday] 2 April, hours before a massacre is brought to the attention of the national and international media. The US and EU-funded Gorshenin Institute online [Ukrainian language] site Left Bank announced that:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:''‘Special forces have begun a clearing operation in the city of Bucha in the Kyiv region, which has been liberated by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The city is being cleared from saboteurs and accomplices of Russian forces.’''&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://en.lb.ua/news/2022/04/02/12441_special_forces_regiment_safari.html Special Forces Regiment SAFARI Begins Clearing Operation in Bucha from Saboteurs and Accomplices of Russia - National Police], 2 April 2022. https://en.lb.ua&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Russian military has by now completely left the city, so this sounds for all the world like reprisals. The state authorities would be going through the city searching for ‘saboteurs’ and ‘accomplices of Russian forces.’ Only the day before [Friday], Ekaterina Ukraintsiva, representing the town council authority, appeared on an information video on the Bucha Live Telegram page wearing military fatigues and seated in front of a Ukrainian flag to announce ‘the cleansing of the city.’ She informed residents that the arrival of the Azov battalion did not mean that liberation was complete (but it was, the Russians had fully withdrawn), and that a ‘complete sweep’ had to be performed.”}}&lt;br /&gt;
According to War On Fakes, &amp;quot;the first unit of the Ukrainian armed forces to enter Bucha was the special forces of the National Guard of Ukraine.  The official Telegram channel of the National Guard posted a video, filmed by the fighters of this detachment themselves. We can see on this video that the Ukrainian military calmly pass through the streets of the city—and no ‘mountains of corpses’ are visible on these streets.”  War On Fakes then asks, “So where did the corpses on the streets of Bucha come from. And who are these people? &lt;br /&gt;
The answer may lie in the video of the territorial defense of Ukraine, which clearly states the question ‘Can I shoot at them if there are no blue armbands?’&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/6ZHPL2pTuadJ/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  To which a positive response follows. The video was originally posted by the leader of the territorial defense Sergey ‘Botsman’ Korotkikh.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://mronline.org/2022/04/07/staged-massacre-in-bucha/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Sergey ‘Botsman’ Korotkikh later makes startling postings about the disappearance of Chilean/American journalist [[Gonzalo Lira]] from Kharkiv&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Sergey ‘Botsman’ Korotkikh&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 3, 2022 when the story broke, Russia immediately requested a meeting if the [[UN Security Council]] for the following Monday, April. The [[United Kingdom]], another permanent member of the Security Council, [[veto]]ed holding a Security Council meeting in the matter.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.sott.net/article/466326-Britain-blocking-UN-investigation-into-Bucha-massacre-in-Ukraine-Russia&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Russian UN Ambassador said in a statement:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;[[London]] shows clearly what does the so-called [[new world order]] looks like, the order based on rules and based, it seems, on violation of all possible and impossible norms of international law, treaties and any norms of civilized behavior at all.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://tass.com/world/1432333&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Pentagon]] refused to confirm the Ukrainian government's claim that Russians were responsible for the massacre. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reuters.com/world/pentagon-cant-independently-confirm-atrocities-ukraines-bucha-official-says-2022-04-04/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reuters.com/world/pentagon-cant-independently-confirm-atrocities-ukraines-bucha-official-says-2022-04-04/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/04/us-military-intelligence-official-refutes-russian-atrocities-claims/comments/page/5/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Former leader of the Socialist Party of Ukraine, Ilya Kiva said that the story in Bucha was planned and prepared in advance by the [[counterintelligence]] of Ukraine, with the assistance of the British [[MI6]].  Kiva said, &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;The whole story in Bucha was prepared and planned in advance by the SBU and [[MI6]]. They arrived early in the morning, cordoned off the area, scattered the corpses and then sent [[journalist]]s there. That's why that clown Zelensky even came back. To raise the interest of the international press in the alleged tragedy, but it's all a pure fake. Why didn't such a situation take place in other areas? Don`t you understand that it was staged in advance, which was supposed to arouse the aggression and hatred in you first of all. But it didn't happen.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ot894JsANM&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
All the corpses wore white arm bands which were distributed by the Russian military to identify civilian non-combatants, who then became the victims of Ukrainian security forces as collaborators in reprisal actions.  Some alleged corpses sat up after television cameras filmed them.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://rumble.com/vzl3qf-evidence-of-bucha-false-flag.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://southfront.org/leaked-recording-allegedly-confirms-massacre-in-bucha-was-staged-by-ukrainian-militants/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Ukrainian television showed footage of Ukrainian security forces dragging corpses into place for the TV cameras.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Kidnappings, murder, assassination====&lt;br /&gt;
Dan Cohen, the Washington DC correspondent for ''Behind The Headlines'' reported on the testimony of a former prisoner of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) under the pseudonym “Igor,” as follows:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.mintpressnews.com/volodymyr-zelensky-secret-police-hunted-down-opposition-anatoly-shariy/280200/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Truth of the Zelensky regime.PNG|right|230px|thumb|After posting a list of prominent people disappeared or murdered by the Zelensky regime,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.trendsmap.com/twitter/tweet/1507644195212824582&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  [[Gonzalo Lira]] himself was disappeared from Kharkov.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/Anabel_Villeroy/status/1516131041672638464&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Inside the sports complex-turned temporary torture prison, Igor says the sack over his head was replaced with a blindfold, leaving him so he could only see his legs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Ukrainian businessman who had long worked in transportation logistics – including stints in [[Moscow]] – a story typical of many Ukrainians, since returning to Kiev, Igor had maintained business ties to Moscow and Crimea, which had joined the Russian Federation after a successful referendum in 2014.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Several family members, including his mother, live in Russia and he regularly visited them until relations between the two countries reached a boiling point in 2021. “With the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the events of February 24, my mother started to call me very often because she was very afraid of my status,” he told me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Territorial Defense began to round up anyone suspected of sympathizing with Russia, as well as Ukrainians with cross-border ties, whether family or business.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside the makeshift prison, Igor says he identified 25 to 30 distinct voices of imprisoned men, and saw 10 to 12 men in Russian military uniforms, what he believes were [[prisoners of war]]. Two of the Russians were severely beaten in order to motivate the others to give on-camera testimony about their hate for Putin and opposition to the war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other detainees were [[religious]] people known for assembling at military installations to [[pray]] for peace and homeless people who had no way to abide by the evening curfew and were swept up by nighttime patrols.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While many of those inside the complex were kept for a couple of hours and released, others were severely beaten. “It was like a small [[Guantanamo]],” Igor recalled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Igor says that he was interrogated three times, with each session lasting between 15 and 30 minutes. The beatings were carried out by Territorial Defense volunteers while SBU officers instructed them on how to [[torture]] and asked him questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They used a lighter to heat up a needle, then put it under my fingernails,” he told me. “The worst was when they put a plastic bag over my head and suffocated me and when they held the muzzle of a [[Kalashnikov]] rifle to my head and forced me to answer their questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But he says the suffering he endured was minor in comparison to the torture of the Russian prisoners of war, who were beaten with metal pipes while the Ukrainian national anthem played on repeat in the background. “I could hear it because all the torture was done in a nearby room. It was [[psychological]]ly severe. This was done at night, the sounds of beatings were constant. It was difficult to sleep.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Listening to conversations of other prisoners, Igor understood that two prisoners from Belarus were beaten to death, identifying one as a man named Sergey. …&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When SBU agents found videos of [Anatoly Shariy] on Igor’s phone,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Also spelled 'Sharia' sometimes. Shariy has nearly [https://www.youtube.com/user/SuperSharij/videos 3 million subscribers on YouTube], 340,000 on Facebook, and 268,000 on Twitter, becoming one of Ukraine's most popular journalists despite living in [[Lithuania]] and later [[Spain]] for a decade. Shariy has been considered a possible contender for the presidency of Ukraine in a future election, causing Zelensky to feel threatened and accusations by Zelensky levelled at Shariy.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; officers from a separate department were called in. From then on, they began to treat him better, removing his handcuffs and giving him larger quantities of food. …&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“As far as I understood, based on the information that I had to convey, the liquidation of [[Anatoly Shariy]] was being prepared, since he poses a danger to the government of Ukraine and criticizes the actions of the SBU, the government, and President Zelensky,” he told me.}}&lt;br /&gt;
On March 24, 2022 Mayor Hennadiy Matsegora of Kupyansk in the Kharkiv region, who was accused by the Kyiv regime of treason for allowing Russian troops to enter the city, recorded a video message to Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky about the abduction and hostage taking of his daughter by [[SBU]] gestapo officers and asked for her release.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.objectiv.tv/objectively/2022/03/24/mer-sdavshij-kupyansk-trebuet-chtoby-zelenskij-spas-ego-doch-video/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Ukrainian hostage taking and use of human shields===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Ukrainian tanks.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Ukrainian tanks illegally stationed outside residential apartment complex.]]&lt;br /&gt;
''[[The Washington Post]]'' reported on March 28, 2022 that the Ukrainian military has “a responsibility under international law to remove their forces and equipment from civilian-populated areas, and if that is not possible, to move civilians out of those areas.  If they don’t do that, that is a violation of the laws of war because what they are doing is they are putting civilians at risk. All that military equipment are legitimate targets. Andriy Kovalyov, a spokesman for the Ministry of Defense's [[Territorial Defense]], whose forces and equipment are positioned in Kyiv, scoffed at that reasoning.  [[Alexei Arestovich]], senior adviser to Volodymyr Zelensky, told the ''Post'' that &amp;quot;international humanitarian laws or the laws of war don’t apply in this conflict.&amp;quot;  In response to written questions from ''The Post'', Arestovich said the country’s military doctrine, approved by parliament, provides for the principle of “total defense.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.ph/wip/IUpIM&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Nonetheless, with full knowledge the government of Ukraine was committing war crimes and endangering the lives of civilians, the US and NATO continued to supply Ukraine with weapons.&lt;br /&gt;

''Tass'' reported that on May 5, 2022 Russian UN Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya presented to the Security Council video interviews of Ukrainian civilians who had managed to escape from the zone of hostilities.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://tass.com/politics/1448191&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Nebenzya stressed that the Ukrainian authorities and their Western sponsors were doing their utmost to prevent this sad truth from coming under the spotlight, and asked his foreign counterparts to pay due attention to the fact that the Ukrainian army repeatedly deployed heavy weapons to residential areas and used civilians as a human shield, which was a violation of international humanitarian law.  Nebenzya stated, “We have enough reasons to believe that all these principles are systematically violated by the Ukrainian army and paramilitaries…There are many eye-witness accounts of how the Ukrainian army uses civilians as hostages and a human shield”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 16, 2022 at 1:35 p.m. local time, the special services of Ukraine blew up a land mine reinforced with an overlay of up to 1 ton of ammonium nitrate in the area of Mazanovka in the Donetsk People’s Republic, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported.  As a result of the explosion, a poisonous cloud of about 1 kilometer headed towards the town of Kramatorsk which is under the control of Kyiv’s forces.  The doctrine of “total defense” proclaimed by Kyiv officials as noted by ''The Washington Post'' on March 28, 2022, supposes that any sacrifice, including the lives, health and safety of a large number of civilians, is nothing if the AFU actions may harm Russian soldiers, even if just potentially.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://southfront.org/ukrainian-forces-staged-another-provocation-with-chemicals-on-donbass-frontlines-videos/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Kyiv government paraded captured Russian prisoners of war before television cameras and posted videos on [[social media]].  Some prisoners had injuries, were being interrogated, or were crying before the cameras.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.smh.com.au/world/europe/ukraine-s-videos-of-crying-russian-prisoners-could-violate-the-geneva-conventions-20220307-p5a2f7.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Amnesty International issued a statement reminding the fascist regime that Article 13 of the [[Geneva Convention]] states: “Prisoners of war must at all times be protected, particularly against acts of violence or intimidation and against insults and public curiosity”. According to the International Committee of the Red Cross, this includes circulating images on social media.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/03/russia-ukraine-prisoners-of-war-must-be-protected-from-public-curiosity-under-geneva-convention/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Druzenko said: &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;I have always been a great humanist and said that if a man is wounded, he is no longer an enemy but a patient.  But now [I gave] very strict orders to castrate all [captured Russian] men, because they are cockroaches, not people.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10636597/Ukrainian-doctor-tells-TV-interviewer-ordered-staff-CASTRATE-Russian-soldiers.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Since 2014 when the Kyiv regime initiated the Donbas war against Russian civilians, some 500 doctors have worked with Druzenko's mobile hospital.  In March 2022 a pro-Ukrainian Telegram channel called White Lives Matter released a video of a Ukrainian soldier calling the fiancee of a Russian POW, taunting her with promises to castrate the captive.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Ukrainian soldiers' used of the cellphones of dead Russian soldiers to mock and hector their relatives. In fact, the Ukrainian government has begun using facial recognition technology from Clearview AI, a US tech company, to identify Russian casualties and taunt their relatives on social media.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/raczylo/status/1508046216420020225&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The facial recognition service is provided by Clearview to the Kyiv regime free of charge.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/04/15/ukraine-facial-recognition-warfare/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On March 27, 2022 very disturbing videos emerged of mistreatment of Russian POWs by Armed Forces of Ukraine.  One video shows Russian soldiers with canvas bags over their heads and then beaten in the face with rifle butts.  The prisoners are shot in the kneecaps and genitals, and they are left on the ground to bleed to death.  Several vans then arrive at the Ukraine military compound in Kharkiv, and as each POW is removed from the van they are shot in the knees.  A second video shows Russian POW’s lying face down in a paved courtyard, or compound, and then being shot in the knees from the rear.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/03/27/zelenskyy-worried-about-western-financial-support-after-video-surfaces-showing-ukraine-military-torturing-russian-pows/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  On May 1,2022 Sergey Velichko (call sign &amp;quot;Chili&amp;quot;) was captured by Russian forces and confessed to the war crime.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/AZmilitary1/status/1520769703165280256&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The notorious Kraken special forces unit of the Azov nationalist regiment are particularly well known for openly conducting safaris for civilians with a pro-Russian position in the Kharkiv region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reporters stood idly by while POWs were paraded and beaten in public which went unreported in Western media.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/OQelUXM5RPlI/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 10, 2022 a former French Army soldier who spent several weeks in Ukraine delivering medical equipment and supplies told Sud Radio that Ukrainian Nazis &amp;quot;wanted to skin blacks and [[Jews]]&amp;quot;:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://rumble.com/v14h93b-they-wanted-to-skin-blacks-and-jews-french-volunteer-on-ukrainian-neo-nazis.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;There, on the spot I saw war crimes. I saw a lot of war crimes. The only crimes I saw during the days I was there were perpetrated by Ukrainian forces...I saw Russian soldiers who were taken prisoner, bound and badly beaten…They were brought [to a detention area] in groups of three or four in minibuses. Every soldier exiting the minibus received a bullet from a Kalashnikov rifle in the knee…Those who admitted that they were officers got shot in the head...When I returned to France, I was extremely shocked by what the people who were invited on the TV shows were saying. A chasm exists between what I see and hear on TV and what I saw on the spot. For me it’s abominable...It shocks me enormously that Europe still gives weapons to a force which in my view are neo-Nazis, who have neo-Nazi insignia. We don’t talk about it. It’s an SS insignia brandished across Ukraine, everywhere...No one in Ukraine seems concerned about this, while we arm them with European weapons. They go off and commit war crimes, I saw this myself.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/FKKRj-8DvCM&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
On May 6, 2022 Lucas Leiroz, researcher in Social Sciences at the Rural Federal University of [[Rio de Janeiro]] and a geopolitical consultant, wrote about the evidence of similarities between known CIA torture techniques and torture techniques documented to have been used by neo-Nazis in Ukrainine.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://southfront.org/did-cia-train-ukrainian-torturers/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===NATO-backed foreign mercenaries===&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|NATO-backed foreign mercenaries}}&lt;br /&gt;
Captured mercenaries face the [[death penalty]] under international law - a little known fact not disclosed by Western governments and Western [[mainstream media]] promoting volunteers to travel to Ukraine to fight alongside Ukrainian forces against the Russian Federation.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.unilad.co.uk/news/shaun-pinner-andrew-hill-prisoner-ukraine-death-penalty-20220528&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Mercenaries who answer Zelensky's call face the death penalty.  Despite praising foreign volunteers' 'heroism&amp;quot;, there is no known case of the government of a captured foreign volunteer interceding on the behalf of fighter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ''Washington Post'' did not admit until May 29, 2022 that NATO-backed mercenaries were “underequipped and outgunned”, citing one them saying “From the beginning, we had no chance.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.stripes.com/theaters/us/2022-05-29/american-military-volunteers-leave-ukraine-battlefield-6166301.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 2, 2022 the Russian Ministry of Defense reported:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox|&amp;quot;According to the data that we have, today the total number of foreign mercenaries in Ukraine has almost halved - from 6,600 to 3,500 people. The Kiev regime's urgent attempts to guarantee legal protection to mercenaries, including them in the list of military units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine or the National Guard, or issuing them new [[passport]]s of Ukrainian citizens, will not save any of them.  In accordance with international humanitarian law, mercenaries are not combatants, and the best that awaits them is criminal liability.”}}&lt;br /&gt;
On June 6, 2022 the criminal trials of one [[Moroccan]] and two British mercenaries began in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/PZHSrbA3UXzU/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; They were charged with participating in the preparation and conduct of hostilities against the DPR, as well as “mercenary activities and the commission by a group of persons by prior agreement of actions aimed at forcibly seizing power and forcibly changing the constitutional order of the DPR.  Under the Criminal Code of the Republic, mercenary activity is punishable by imprisonment for 3 to 7 years.  Forcible seizure of power in the DPR is punishable by imprisonment from 12 to 20 years, and in wartime the [[death penalty]] can apply. &lt;br /&gt;
Mercenary activity is recognized as a crime under [[international law]]. UK Foreign Minister Liz Truss had publicly advocated and encouraged mercenary activity by UK citizens in March 2022;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/foreign-secretary-liz-truss-backs-6726300&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the UK government then abandoned the two UK mercenaries being charged who were fighting &amp;quot;illegally.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://en.topwar.ru/195159-britanskij-parlamentarij-schitaet-vopros-osvobozhdenija-anglijskih-naemnikov-problemoj-pravitelstva.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  On June 9 the three mercenaries were convicted of mercenary activity and sentenced to death. Another UK mercenary yet to be charged and tried, had coordinates with the wording &amp;quot;civ mass grave&amp;quot; near Kyiv in his personal notebook.  The area is not under Russian control and there is no way to verify if the site is indeed a civilian mass grave at this time.  On June 11, 2022 the UK ''Express'' reported that Kyiv was willing to trade opposition leader [[Viktor Medvedchuk]] whom the Ukrainian government was holding hostage in exchange for the two convicted UK mercenaries, acknowledging a debt of gratitude Kyiv owed to the UK regime.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://express.co.uk.trem.media/news/world/1624217/British-fighters-Ukraine-Russia-oligarch&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 15, 2022 the Russian armed services created a website with a searchable database of all known mercenaries in Ukraine.  The purpose was to give mercenaries the opportunity to surrender voluntarily and possibly an exit out of the war zone if they have not participated in hostilities.  It also allows for tips from the public to report on mercenaries in the warzone that are not yet listed. The status of whether they dead or alive can also be determined from the site.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://foreigncombatants.ru&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As of June 17, 2022 the Russian MOD reported that 28% of all mercenaries have been killed, or nearly 2,000 of almost 7,000 total.  On June 25, 2022 six cruise missile strikes were carried out on the Yavorovsky training base for foreign mercenaries again. The base is just 10 kilometers from the Polish-Ukrainian border.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/AoLzuJIBMB0&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Kherson had been the first city to fall in the incursion.  The first commemoration of the city's liberation from Nazism in 1944 was held since the Maidan coup.

The United States flooded Ukraine with billions of dollars of sophisticated weaponry, with some of those arms ending up in the hands of actual neo-Nazi battalions integrated into the Ukrainian government and military. The ''[[New York Times]]'' admitted that “[[C.I.A.]] officers are helping to ensure that crates of weapons are delivered into the hands of vetted Ukrainian military units.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/19/us/politics/us-ukraine-russia-escalation.html?smid=tw-share&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  By definition, the U.S. is waging a proxy war against Russia, using Ukrainians as their instrument, with the goal of not ending the war but prolonging it, making the United States a co-belligerent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2022-03-17/u-s-is-in-a-proxy-war-with-russia-panetta-video&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

On March 8, 2022, the [[U.S. Congress]] approved a $14 billion aid package for Ukraine - nearly equal to 10% of Ukrainian [[GDP]] ''before'' its loss of territory and population - insuring and funding an insurgency long past the Ukrainian military's defeat in the field by Russian forces.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thehill.com/policy/international/597379-congress-reaches-deal-on-billions-in-ukraine-aid&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Denazification trials===&lt;br /&gt;
On May 19, 2022, trials of Ukrainian Nazis and war criminals were underway at Leninsky District Court of Rostov-on-Don in the Russian Federation.  Denis Nuryga, an Aidar Battalion militant, was the first to appear before the court.  He was accused of blowing up a bridge in the Lugansk region in 2019, as a result of which sentries of the People's Militia of the LPR were killed.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://t.me/intelslava/29230&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Nuryga, a junior sergeant captured in April 2022, said under interrogation that the Ukrainian army disguises itself as doctors and uses ambulances for movement.

Authorities of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics and their counterparts in Russia have been investigating and recording the crimes by the Ukrainian military and neo-Nazi militias going back to early 2014, when the Kyiv junta first initiated its policy of ethnic cleansing in the Donbas.  A number of representatives of other countries have agreed to participate in the tribunal as representatives.  One of the first stages of the tribunal will be held in Mariupol.  DPR head Denis Pushilin announced on May 24, 2022:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;I think we should not delay, and a number of intermediate ones should be held before the main tribunal, as it was after the Great Patriotic War.

The &amp;quot;interagency consensus&amp;quot; of the United States government has conducted an armed proxy war against ethnic Russians living in the Donbas for eight years, since 2014.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;quot;The West has used everything from signals intelligence operations, espionage, fighter jet saber-rattling, and diplomatic standoffs to stem the rise of Russian influence around the world. These efforts are coming to a dangerous head in Ukraine — a classic Eastern Bloc proxy state — where the presence of NATO troops is driving tensions to Cold War-era levels.&lt;br /&gt;

On April 27, 2022 the [[Exxon]] corporation declared ''force majeure'', or exemption from liability for its [[Sakhalin]]-1 operations which produces about 273,000 barrels of crude oil per day for export to [[South Korea]], [[Japan]], [[Australia]], [[Thailand]] and the United States.  On April 30, the electrical plant at Sakhalin went up in flames.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1603555/russia-fire-coal-fired-power-plant-sakhalin-smoke-clouds-oblast-thermal-plant&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Russian military analyst Viktor Litovkin, who is also head of the military news editorial office for the [[TASS]] news agency, said in a May 9, 2022 show on Sky News Arabia ([[UAE]]) that if the West declares war on Russia or sends soldiers to fight in Ukraine, it would mean all-out war. He said that sending weapons to Ukraine is one thing, but sending Western armed forces to Ukraine would be a different matter altogether. Litovkin added: “Russia has [[nuclear weapons]] that can destroy many European and non-European countries.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/YHfmVPMSws0&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Predator and MQ-9 Reaper drones operate on a satellite uplink.  Once it is airborne, the drone can be controlled directly from the United States.  That makes the drone operators combatants and legitimate targets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All told, only the 30 NATO states and another 30 NATO vassal states worldwide support NATO's war on Russia.  More than a 2/3 majority of the [[United Nations General Assembly]] remain independent or aligned with Russia.  Even among the warring NATO states and its subject clients, deep division remain both within the alliance itself, and within the populations of those countries and their colonial subjects whose rogue leaders have led them into war with Russia.&lt;br /&gt;

The Novoshakhtinsk refinery about five kilometers inside the Russian border in the Rostov region, was attacked and set on fire by two Chinese made commercial drones that sell in kit for $6,500.  The engine sells separately for an additional $1,149.  The refinery is one of the largest in Russia’s southern region. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 29, 2022 U.S. socialist dictator Joe Biden announced that six U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class destroyers were being moved into the [[Mediterranean Sea]] to provide air defense missions and the ability to launch cruise missiles well inland into Russia.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2022/06/29/remarks-by-president-biden-and-nato-secretary-general-jens-stoltenberg-madrid-spain/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On May 4, 2022 the ''New York Times'' reported that NATO was complicit in the assassination of several Russian generals through real time intelligence sharing of geolocation surveillance.  At least 10 Generals were reported to have been targeted and killed, and numerous Colonel and Lt. Colonel battalion commanders.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/04/us/politics/russia-generals-killed-ukraine.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Former [[Bill Clinton|Clinton era]] NATO chief [[Wesley Clark]], who waged NATO's [[North_Atlantic_Treaty_Organization#Kosovo_-_wag_the_dog|first war of aggression]] against Serbia in 1998, was quoted by the ''[[Voice of America]]'', the Russian language edition of ''[[Deutsche Welle]]'', and the neo-fascist [[Euromaidanpress]] saying in an online discussion organized by the [[Atlantic Council]] on June 15, 2022,&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;The war in Ukraine cannot be stopped without ''&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;the direct intervention of NATO&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;'', said Wesley Clark, the former commander of the alliance's armed forces in Europe. &amp;quot;The idea that Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg is defending now, and which finds support among other members of the alliance - that NATO can actively not intervene if it is not directly attacked - this idea remained in the 90s. It's time to learn the lessons. NATO must intervene. Let's officially recognize this and order the Russians to cease fire,&amp;quot; Clark was quoted as saying by Voice of America. According to the retired US Army general, the alliance should either &amp;quot;go beyond the outlined framework or cease its activities.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.ph/856aK#selection-1223.284-1223.485&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/EuromaidanPR/status/1536976551597772802&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/EuromaidanPR/status/1536976551597772802&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
In early July 2022 saboteurs crossed the border into Russia to burn wheat fields.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/Y1EdTUAZAUVx/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On July 19, 2022 a Polish Intelligence Agency (AW) assessment appeared on a Russian Telegram channel.  The document alleged 46,000 Ukrainian forces were killed over the past 3 months.  Since May 2022, almost all management functions in the planning and conduct of hostilities were assumed by foreign advisers from the United States, Great Britain and Canada.  The American 155mm M777 Howitzers delivered to Kiev are not always used for their intended purpose. Instead of conducting counter-battery warfare, guns are often used to bomb civilian populations in cities.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/AZmilitary1/status/1549429661159096322&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====Black Sea provocations=====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ukraine mined its own harbors,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/05/no-the-ukraine-war-has-not-stoked-a-global-food-crisis.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; with the military advice of NATO, blocking their own export of their own grain harvest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 19, 2022 the ''[[Times of London]]'' reported that the United States was indeed responsible for the April 13 sinking of the ''Moskva'' by relaying information to the AFU on the location of the ship via P-8 Poseidon surveillance aircraft with anti-ship and anti-submarine capabilities.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10733677/Moskva-sinking-Did-supply-Kyiv-location-Black-Sea-flag-ship.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  ''Moskva'' was positioned near one of 3 drilling rigs, used for monitoring a whole sector of the Black Sea with hydrophones and NEVA-BS radar, the most westward one, BK-2 Odessa, approximately 66 km northeast from Snake Island (''Russian: Zmeiny Island''). The whole thing was integrated in the regional monitoring systems.  According to an article in the ''Strategic Culture Foundation'' a source in [[Brussels]] told independent journalist Pepe Escobar,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.ph/pNNKf&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Moskva.jpeg|right|300px|thumb|The ''Moskva'' was disabled and sunk on April 13, 2022 reportedly with NATO assistance.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.wionews.com/world/watch-russian-state-tv-says-moscow-has-entered-world-war-3-against-nato-471291&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Mariupol port humanitarian corridor.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Humanitarian corridor for safe passage of foreign ships established by the Russian Navy.]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;The ''Moskva'' was on combat duty 100-120 km away from Odessa – controlling the airspace within a radius of 250-300 km. So in fact it was ensuring the overlap of the southern half of Moldova, the space from Izmail to Odessa and part of Romania (including the port of Constanta).  Its positioning could not be more strategic. Moskva was interfering with NATO’s covert transfer of military aircraft (helicopters and fighter jets) from Romania to Ukraine. It was being watched 24/7. NATO air reconnaissance was totally on it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the ''Moskva'' “killer”, NATO may have not chosen the Neptune, as spread by Ukrainian propaganda; the source points to the fifth-generation NSM PKR (Naval Strike Missile, with a range of 185 km, developed by Norway and the Americans.)  He describes the NSM as “able to reach the target along a programmed route thanks to the GPS-adjusted INS, independently find the target by flying up to it at an altitude of 3-5 meters. When reaching the target, the NSM maneuvers and deploys electronic interference. A highly sensitive thermal imager is used as a homing system, which independently determines the most vulnerable places of the target ship.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a direct consequence of hitting the ''Moskva'', NATO managed to reopen an air corridor for the transfer of aircraft to the airfields of Chernivtsi, Transcarpathian and Ivano-Frankivsk regions.}}&lt;br /&gt;
The provocation marked a significant escalation of electronic warfare in international waters and airspace with Russian public opinion and the families of missing sailors demanding a response from their government.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--On April 23, 2022 four submarines departed from the Russian naval port at Sevastopol in the Black Sea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NATO forces tracked humanitarian food relief from Russia to Syria through the [[Dardanelles]].--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
On May 23, 2022 it was announced that [[Denmark]] would provide an unspecified number of US-made Harpoon anti-ship missiles and launchers to Ukraine.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/harpoon-anti-ship-missiles-headed-to-ukraine-from-denmark&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;   Denmark’s supply of Harpoon missiles to Ukraine to fight the Russian Black Sea Fleet sent off alarm bells in the Kremlin, revealing the goals of NATO's &amp;quot;coalition of the willing&amp;quot; for provocative engagements with Russia's Black Sea fleet.  Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko noted that if foreign warships enter the Black Sea under the pretext of escorting civilian ships with grain, this would inevitably lead to the war between Russia and NATO.  Russia would be concerned about escorting ships with grain, especially if they were [[British]] ships.  On May 25 according to ''Radio Liberty'' Moscow offered safe passage of Ukrainian food exports.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-ukrainian-food-exports-blockade-rudenko/31867169.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;   The Russian Defense Ministry opened the first humanitarian corridor for foreign ships from Mariupol.  In a telephone conversation with [[Austrian]] Chancellor Karl Nehammer, a neutral intermediary, ''TASS'' reported that President Putin said Ukraine should de-mine its ports to ensure free passage of the blocked ships as soon as possible.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://tass.com/politics/1457049&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In early June 2022, the Russians set up an S-400 surface-to-air missile system on Snake Island.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 20, 2022 three oil drilling platforms in the Black Sea west of Crimea were attacked by the AFU, killing 7 civilians.  94 people were rescued, 3 injured, 1 with shrapnel and 2 with burns. 8 people remain missing.  The oil platforms are non-military, civilian projects.  The Kyiv regime claims residents of Crimea re Ukrainian citizens; the Kyiv regime gave no explanation for murdering its own citizens working on a civilian infrastructure project.  The provocations resulted in an environmental disaster.  Russia’s Investigative Committee  opened a criminal case on the terrorist attack by Ukrainian troops on the oil drilling platforms.  Authorities will find out information about the Ukrainian military who carried out the strikes, and investigators will also establish the manufacturer of the missiles and if NATO is complicit in an act of terrorism.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Oil rigs attacked by Ukraine.PNG|left|450px|thumb|Oil rigs in the Black Sea attacked by Ukraine, June 20, 2022.]]&lt;br /&gt;
A [[U.S. Air Force]] Global Hawk RQ-4 strategic reconnaissance UAV was detected at high altitude over Snake Island  of the U.S. Air Force at high altitudes near Snake Island.  The Kyiv regime made another attempt to capture the island.  Missile and artillery attacks at Snake Island were launched by Ukrainian Tochka-U ballistic missiles, Uragan multiple rocket launchers and M777 155-mm howitzers from their combat positions to the west from Odessa and in Kubansky island.  The plan disembarkation of troops on the island. d by the Kiev regime supposed to launch massive air and artillery attacks at Snake Island, to disembark troops and capture it.  13 UAVs, 4 Tochka-U missiles and 21 projectiles of Uragan multiple rocket launcher were destroyed by Russian forces. No troops were able to disembark and occupy the island.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The attack was used to lure Russian aircraft into the area, with the idea of shooting them down with S-300s.  Once activated, the S-300s were detected and destroyed by the Russian airforce.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/qZLBxYVWs1Q&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 25, 2022 the AFU attacked Snake Island with several missiles and aircraft; the US Navy P-8A patrol aircraft was spotted flying from Sigonella Air Base in the Danube Delta area; the US RQ-4B was spotted flying from the Sigonella Air Base in the Black Sea; the US Navy transferred 18 coastal and riverine patrol boats to Ukraine; the US EP-3E aircraft was spotted flying from the Suda Bay Air Base over the eastern part of Romania near the Moldovan border.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 26, 2022 the AFU attacked Chernomorneftegaz drilling rig in the Black Sea. No casualties were reported;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====Attacks on civilian infrastructure=====&lt;br /&gt;
On July 11, 2022 seven civilians were killed with missiles fired by U.S.-supplied HIMAR launchers in the town of Navaya Kakhovka in the Kherson Republic.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://opolitike.mirtesen.ru/blog/43909763424/Novaya-Kahovka-agoniziruyuschie-ukronatsistyi-udarili-RSZO-HIMAR?ysclid=l5ipvrjh8q991501048&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;   More than 80 others were injured, including at least 15 children.  A fertilizer warehouse with potassium nitrate was attacked.  Food supplies were also destroyed.  More than 1,800 employees of industrial and commercial institutions lost their jobs as a result of the attack, and 37 residential homes were destroyed.  The AFU attack was coordinated with the US military. The American satellite Worldview-2 filmed Novaya Kakhovka three days before the strike.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====101st Airborne=====&lt;br /&gt;
The [[United States Army]] 101st Airborne ‘screaming eagles’ were deployed into NATO countries on the western border of Ukraine on June 29, 2022.   This was the first deployment of the Army’s 101st Airborne Division from Fort Campbell, [[Kentucky]], to Europe in 80 years.  As noted by base reporting, “Elements of 2nd Brigade Combat Team, and 101st Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, 101st Airborne Division, have been assigned to carry out the mission.” Col. John Lubas, deputy commanding officer for operations said, “We’re going to check the Russian influence and we’re going to impact the Russians’ decision-making for probably the next 10-20 years,” said &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; https://clarksvillenow.com/local/hundreds-from-101st-airborne-division-depart-fort-campbell-for-mission-in-europe/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====Transnistria=====&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:We will liberate Transnistria.PNG|left|300px|thumb|&amp;quot;We will liberate Transnistria!&amp;quot; digital propaganda poster by the Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s psychological operations branch in Ukrainian and Romanian languages circulated in April 2020.]]&lt;br /&gt;
By late April 2022 in the territory of Moldova, warehouses of military uniforms and shoes, NATO army rations and other auxiliary military equipment were being hastily created and filled from abroad. But not weapons depots. There is no need to import weapons, since when Moldova is occupied by the Romanian army, the latter will &amp;quot;come with everything of its own&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://t.me/ZradaXXII/1898&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The objective appears to be a storage depot in Kolbasnaya of roughly 20,000 tons of munitions left over from the [[Red Army]]’s evacuation of former [[Warsaw Pact]] countries.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://liveuamap.com/en/2022/27-april-shots-were-fired-in-the-morning-and-drones-observed&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  There is also information about the concentration of Ukrainian units on the border with [[Transnistria]].  Most of Transnistria is no more than 10 kilometers wide. The Transnistrian army has zero chance to counter the offensive for any significant period of time without external support in the event of an attack from both sides (and this is exactly what is being planned, as the Nazi governor of the Odessa region Marchenko has already hinted).  Polish, Romanian and Moldovan armed forces are concentrating thousands of troops,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://t.me/ZradaXXII/1959&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; while from the east, AFU troops and a group of thousands of foreign mercenaries, including Canadian and Croatian units, fighters from [[Scandinavia]]n countries, and at least 1,000 fighters from the Turkish far-right organization [[Grey Wolves]] are concentrated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The number of the Operational Group of Russian troops in Transnistria is about 1,300. The Armed Forces of Transnistria count up to 7,500, while the Armed Forces of Moldova count up to 5,200 servicemen with a reserve of 60,000 people. The number of Romanian Armed Forces is up to 70,000.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A joint group of 22,000 – 25,000 Polish-Romanian-Moldovan soldiers would be enough to carry out such an operation in the region. The main combat work will fall on the Romanian and Polish assault units. It is estimated that 6,000 Romanian and 3,000 Polish troops of the rapid reaction forces would be enough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Military clashes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation with the Armed Forces of Poland and Romania on the territory of a non-member state of NATO is the perfect scenario for the Kyiv and Washington regimes. In case of the opening of another front in the neighboring country, the AFU counter offensive should be expected in the south of Ukraine with active defense in the East.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was the main scenario Zelensky was briefed on by [[Blinken]] and [[Lloyd Austin|Austin]] on April 24, 2022 which follows ongoing international political developments. The preparation and composition of the sixth package of EU sanctions are associated with events in Transnistria.  The escalation of the situation in Transnistria corresponds to Washington’s statements that the United States is changing course towards Russia, from the desire to exhaust Moscow economic sanctions, to a direct military confrontation. This was announced by Washington after the meeting with Zelensky.  Vladimir Putin responded to NATO's challenge on April 27, 2022 in speech to the Council of Lawmakers of the Russian Federation in [[St. Petersburg]]:.&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;if anyone intends to intervene from the outside and create a strategic threat to Russia that is unacceptable to us, they should know that our retaliatory strikes will be lightning-fast. We have the tools we need for this, the likes of which no one else can claim at this point. We will not just brag; we will use them if necessary. And I want everyone to know this; we have already made all the decisions on this matter.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/68297&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
The expected timing of the scenario is from May 12 to May 25, 2022, or from June 15 to June 25, depending on the actions and successes of the Russian Federation in the Donbas region.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--In early spring 2022 Russian Armed Forces were unable to help Transnistria with anything but a certain number of missile strikes at infrastructure facilities.  Sources estimate the probability of the enemy attack on Tiraspol in April-early May already as &amp;quot;high&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://t.me/ZradaXXII/1959&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Speculation existed that Russian POWs taken in Transnistria can then be bartered for the 4,000 Ukrainian POWs already in Russian hands as well as the 1,500 Azov Nazis still held up in the Azovstal.  The NATO occupation of Transnistria would complicate operations on the western flank of the Odessa cauldron.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Provocations'''&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Transnistria attack April 25, 2022.PNG|right|300px|thumb|NATO attack on transmission towers, April 25, 2002.]]&lt;br /&gt;
On April 25, 2022 the State Security building and two Russian language broadcast facilities were bombed.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.ft.com/content/1e811d5d-3972-4bde-abc5-acac7dd4832b&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Igor Girkin reported that a large number of Romanian soldiers and officers were sent to Moldova under the guise of &amp;quot;Moldovan military&amp;quot;. In particular, in all headquarters, a significant part of Moldovan officers were replaced by officers of the Romanian army in all key positions, and in the commandant's companies of military units performing the functions of military police, the entire personnel had been replaced with Romanians.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 3, 2022 a quadcopter carrying explosives was intercepted over the TV and radio center in the village of Mayak.  On May 5, shooting was reported in the area of a border crossing between Ukraine and Transnistria.  [[Law enforcement]] agencies confirmed that indiscriminate shooting took place on the territory of Ukraine near the village of Pavlovka, near the village of Kuchurgan, in the area of the railway bridge, which was blown up on March 4.  An unidentified UAV dropped two explosive devices in the area of the former airfield near the village of Voronkovo.  On May 6, another UAV dropped two explosive devices in the same area. The attack was repeated about an hour later. The UAVs reportedly flew from the territory of Ukraine&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====Poland=====&lt;br /&gt;
Evidence suggests Polish intelligence has fed exaggerated and phony anti-Russian information on Russian activities in Ukraine to NATO to inflame tensions since at least 2014.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Russian Ambassador attacked.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Russian Ambassador attacked on [[Victory Day]] with fake blood while laying a wreath at the monument to Russian war dead who liberated Poland from the Nazis.  The head of the Russian State Duma commented &amp;quot;such actions may lead to the fact that the ambassadors will no longer be needed.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/wu3iULO3vuhT/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
On March 8, 2022, the government of [[Poland]] announced it would transfer all of its Russian-made MIG-29 jets to the Rammstein Air Base in Germany.  The jets will be placed “at the disposal of the Government of the United States of America” which in turn is expected to send them to Ukraine.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/poland-announces-all-its-mig-29-jets-will-be-transferred-us-send-ukraine&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The Pentagon responded to the Polish announcement: &amp;quot;The prospect of fighter jets &amp;quot;at the disposal of the Government of the United States of America&amp;quot; departing from a U.S./NATO base in Germany to fly into airspace that is contested with Russia over Ukraine raises serious concerns for the entire NATO alliance.  It is simply not clear to us that there is a substantive rationale for it.'&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/2960180/statement-by-pentagon-press-secretary-john-f-kirby-on-security-assistance-to-uk/ Statement by Pentagon Press Secretary John F. Kirby on Security Assistance to Ukraine], MARCH 8, 2022. www.defense.gov&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Simply put, [[Blinken]] and Biden tried to bribe Poland with new upgraded replacement jets to attack Russia and begin World War III so that NATO Article 5 could be invoke. Poland refused on at least two earlier occasions in the previous two weeks. When Poland said it would fly the old MIGs to Germany and let Germany or the U.S. begin World War III, or let the US transport the MIGs to Slovakia or Romania and let Romania or Slovakia get nuked in addition to the United States, the whole duplicitous game the [[Biden regime]] was playing with the lives of people on the planet was exposed. Biden, the &amp;quot;leader of the free world&amp;quot;, wanted to start World War III but didn't want to take the blame for it, and was looking a NATO ally to bribe and become the fall guy.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/03/08/blinken-and-biden-fold-pentagon-rejects-poland-offer-for-united-states-to-start-world-war-iii/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 24, 2022 Biden flew to Poland. Reports emerged that Poland was &amp;quot;contemplating&amp;quot; an incursion into Western Ukraine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 5, 2022 according to the Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczynski, leader of Poland's ruling [[Law and Justice]] (PiS) party, agreements were fully reached allowing Washington to relocate its nuclear arsenals to the country in any required quantity, the German newspaper ''Welt am Sontag'' reported.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/nYx-W9Do--4&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 28, 2022 the Polish Defense Ministry announced that there would be intensive movement of convoys with equipment in the country’s north and east from May 1, 2022 until the end of the month due to “military exercises”.  &lt;br /&gt;

One of the development options of the Polish leadership’s plan is to create an advanced bridgehead on the territory of Moldova to promptly take control of Transnistria and deploy a “peacekeeping contingent” on the territory of the Odessa region. The Odessa command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) is ready to support a Moldovan-Polish-Romanian invasion of Transnistria under the guise of a &amp;quot;humanitarian&amp;quot; operation.&lt;br /&gt;

While attending the World Economic Forum (WEF) President Andrzej Duda accused Germany of breaking its word to re-supply Poland with new tanks as compensation for Polish deliveries of Soviet-era tanks to Ukraine.  In an interview with ''Die Welt'' Duda said Germany has &amp;quot;not fulfilled this promise. And frankly, we are very disappointed about this....We have provided Ukraine with a large number of tanks … because we believe it is our responsibility as a neighbor,” Duda said, referring to reports that Warsaw handed at least 240 Soviet-era tanks to the Ukrainian military. “By doing so, we depleted our own military potential and stockpiles.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.politico.eu/article/polish-president-accuses-germany-of-breaching-promises-on-ukraine-related-tank-deliveries/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

======Revanchism======&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 10, 2022 a document emerged of Poland's plan to occupy Ukraine with 9,500 soldiers and further partition the country.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/05/ukraine-congress-passes-the-bucks-realism-sneaks-in-poland-plans-for-more-war.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (FIS) stated that the Polish military’s priority “combat tasks” would include the gradual seizure of control over strategic facilities in West Ukraine.  Poland discussed with the Biden regime an action to “reunite” with West Ukraine. According to [[Warsaw]]'s estimates, the entrenchment of the Polish military in West Ukraine would amount to a partitioning of Ukraine.  On April 28, 2022 FIS spokesman Sergei Naryshkin said that Washington and Warsaw were planning to deploy a Polish “peacekeeping contingent” in the western part of Ukraine. &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“According to information received by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Washington and Warsaw are working on plans to establish tight military and political control over ‘their historical possessions’ in Ukraine,”}}&lt;br /&gt;
According to the FIS, the first stage of the “reunification” should be the introduction of Polish troops into the western regions of Ukraine under the guise of 'peacekeepers' with the participation of ‘willing states’. Warsaw has not yet been able to agree on potential participants in a ‘coalition of like-minded’,” the FIS said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the same time, the FIS pointed out, the Polish leadership is not interested in “unnecessary spies” in its operation. “The so-called peacekeeping contingent is planned to be deployed in those parts of Ukraine where the threat of direct clash with the Russian Armed Forces is minimal. And the priority “combat tasks” of the Polish military will include gradual interception of control over strategic objects located there from the National Guard of Ukraine. Polish special services are already searching for “agreeable” representatives of the Ukrainian elite to form a Warsaw-oriented “democratic” counterweight to the nationalists,” the FIS said in its report.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Polish mobilization for invasion of Ukraine.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Polish armored vehicles being transported to border for invasion of Ukraine, May 2022.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Commander-in-Chief of the Polish Armed Forces Jaroslaw Mika signed on order to bring the Polish Army into a state of full combat readiness for the invasion of western Ukraine.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/DzHlHaphi3I&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  This document was published online by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://t.me/MedvedevVesti/9303&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  According to the Polish government’s estimates, a deployment into western Ukraine is highly likely to split the country. Warsaw will essentially gain control of the territories where Polish &amp;quot;peacekeepers&amp;quot; will enter. Essentially, it is an attempt to repeat the historical “deal” for Poland after the [[First World War]], when the collective West, represented by the [[Triple Entente|Entente]], recognized Warsaw’s right first to occupy part of the Ukraine to protect its population from the “[[Bolshevik]] threat”, and then to incorporate those territories into the Polish state. The events that followed were a clear illustration of the [[colonialism|colonial]] order and forced Polonization as the main methods of building a ‘Greater Poland’,” the FIS concluded.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://southfront.org/transnistria29042022/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 3, 2022, Polish President [[Andrzej Duda]] said in a nationally televised speech,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/intermarium24/status/1521652429024120832&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;I hope that Ukraine will be a brotherly state to Poland; that it will not have a [[border]] between them, that there will in fact be no border; that we will live together on this land, rebuilding ourselves and building our common happiness, our common strength.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/intermarium24/status/1521652429024120832&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Other reports indicated that Zelensky and his entire cabinet had been offered UK citizenship, by-passing the ordinary process for acquiring citizenship and in preparation for a government-in-exile of a shrunken landlocked Ukrainian rump state.  Writing in ''The American Conservative'' Col. Douglas Macgregor observed:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;The war against Russia in Ukraine has evolved, but not in the way Western observers predicted. Ukrainian forces look shattered and exhausted. The supplies reaching Ukrainian troops fighting in Eastern Ukraine are a fraction of what is needed. In most cases, replacements and new weapons are destroyed long before they reach the front.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Confronted with the unambiguous failure of U.S. assistance and the influx of new weapons to rescue Ukrainian forces from certain destruction, the Biden administration is desperate to reverse the situation and save face....the Polish general staff was quietly instructed to formulate plans for intervention in the Ukrainian conflict by seizing the western part of Ukraine. Naturally, military action of this scale would require Kiev’s approval, but given Washington’s de facto control of the Zelensky government, approval for Polish military intervention should not be a problem.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/the-threat-of-polish-involvement-in-ukraine/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Rumours emanating from inside Ukraine of another false flag chemical weapons attack to excuse a Polish alleged &amp;quot;peacekeeping&amp;quot; invasion between May 22-24 in the weeks beforehand were rampant.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/zdpJDo5dwPg&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 15, 2022 Belarussian President [[Alexander Lukashenko]] warned the Polish NATO regime that if it invaded Ukraine, Belarus would intervene.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://srbin.info/en/svet/lukasenko-poljskoj-ako-krenete-u-zauzimanje-zapadne-ukrajine-intervenisacemo/?&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &amp;quot;We cannot allow Poland to encircle us,&amp;quot; the president said.&lt;br /&gt;

In violation of a longstanding treaty in perpetuity, Lithuania cut off rail traffic of critical materials to the Russian federal territory of [[Kaliningrad]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://srbin.info/en/svet/igraju-se-vatrom-litvanija-pokusava-da-ekonomski-ugusi-ruski-kalinjingrad/?&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Lithuanian state-owned company “Lithuania Railways” implemented the ban.  Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis highlighted Lithuania's loss of sovereignty in dealing with other nations since joining NATO and the EU: &amp;quot;This is not a Lithuanian decision. These are European sanctions that came into force on June 17, and the railways are now applying the sanctions”.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/eu-just-implemented-risky-anti-russia-measure-could-trigger-ww3-few-are-taking-notice&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Russian foreign ministry said: ‘We consider provocative measures of the Lithuanian side which violate Lithuania’s international legal obligations, primarily the 2002 Joint Statement of the Russian Federation and the [[European Union]] on transit between the Kaliningrad region and the rest of the [[Russian Federation]], to be openly hostile.’&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://apa.az/en/cis-countries/russia-accused-lithuania-of-violating-international-law-378852&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The EU action violates international law. There is no trade or sanctions violation involved in the internal transportation and trade of goods within the same [[nation state]].  Furthermore, there is no law that allows arbitrary sanctions to override existing international treaties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 22, 2022 the EU escalated the crisis by blocking off transport of goods by road.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/ZbiEPpt77lg&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[Moldova]] has not joined European sanctions against Russia. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 19, 2022, Moldova banned wearing the black and orange Ribbon of St. George, established in 1769 as the highest military decoration in [[Russian Empire|Czarist]] times, continued in the Soviet era, and reaffirmed in 1998 by Presidential decree signed by Russian Federation [[President Boris Yeltsin]].  The ribbon has come to commemorate veterans of the [[Operation Barbarossa|Eastern Front]] of the Second World War.  Citizens interpreted banning the ribbon as pressure by the United States on the Moldovan government to exterminate any memory of Russian culture.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/shorts/rslJDKNdj4M&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The same day, four days before the NATO terrorist attack on Transnistria, the U.S. State Department issued a travel advisory for Moldova.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/moldova-travel-advisory.html  Moldova Travel Advisory, April 19, 2022.] state.gov&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;

On April 29, 2022 it was reported that [[Israel]], [[Bulgaria]], Romania, USA, UK, France, Canada, Germany, and Russia have called on their citizens to leave Moldova and/or the Transnistria region as soon as possible. This follows an escalation in tensions in Moldova, with several explosions occurring, reports of gunfire, and a general mobilization in Transnistria which is outside of Moldovan control.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://tsarizm.com/news/eastern-europe/2022/04/29/nations-warn-citizens-to-leave-moldova-as-ukraine-war-spills-over-to-neighbors/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On May 21, 2022 UK foreign minister Liz Truss said Moldova should be armed to NATO standards.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/may/20/uk-and-allies-discuss-arming-moldova-with-nato-standard-weapons&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Former president Igor Dodon, who advocated neutrality, was arrested and detained by the Chisinau regime. Dodon is opposed to the regime's policy vis-a-vis NATO aggression in Black Sea region.  Peaceful protests were held outside the parliament building demanding the release of Dodon and an end to persecution of political opponents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
French President Emmanuel Macron promised to double the defense budget of Moldova. For this purpose, 40 million euros were allocated from the European Defense Fund.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Romania====&lt;br /&gt;
On November 26, 2019, according to ''Radio Liberty'', NATO &amp;quot;showed off&amp;quot; its Aegis Ashore nuclear missile system in Romania.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.rferl.org/a/nato-shows-off-missile-base-in-romania-calling-it-purely-defensive-/30291193.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 12, 2022 a column of NATO military equipment was spotted in [[Romania]] moving in the direction of the border with Ukraine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Russian sources reported that the Polish Armed Forces established a strike group on the territory of Romania. The total contingent is estimated at up to 8,000 servicemen. A consolidated contingent is planned to enter Moldovan territory under a plausible pretext, such as a humanitarian operation or an official government request.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As NATO prepared to invade Transnistria, women in the bordering city of Khust (pop. 28,000) threw stones at the Ukrainian military registration office on April 30, 2022, tried to break into the building, and demanded that their husbands and sons be returned home from the frontline.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/cGsxgfbYucw&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On February 28, 2022 [[Finland]], a non-NATO country, announced they would deliver 2,500 assault rifles, 150,000 cartridges, 1,500 single-shot anti-tank weapons, and 70,000 combat ration packages to the Kyiv regime.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://valtioneuvosto.fi/en/-/finland-to-send-arms-assistance-to-ukraine&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  A Kremlin spokesman said Russia would have to rebalance the situation.&lt;br /&gt;

In early April 2022 Finland opened negotiations to join NATO.  The people of Finland were denied any right to a plebiscite over such a crucial matter.  If Finland joins NATO, Russia will put nuclear weapons in [[Kaliningrad]].&lt;br /&gt;

Turkiye does not support the Western sanctions regime againt Russia.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Disputed Aegean Islands.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Disputed Aegean Islands by NATO allies Greece and Turkiye.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Armed Forces of Ukraine positioned 420 World War II-era sea mines anchored to weighted boxes on the Black Sea bed to deter amphibius landing craft to the approaches of the ports of Odessa, Ochikov and Chernomorsk.  A Black Sea storm caused many to break free of their securing cables and bob to the surface, drifting south with the prevailing currents.  The mines arrived in Romanian and Turkish coastal waters, posing a threat to commercial shipping and human life.  In early March 2022 an Estonian general cargo ship was at anchor when it was hit below the water line by a large explosion.  Six crewmen were rescued but the ship sank.  One mine caused a temporary closure of the Bosphorus Straight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Turkiye closed the Bosphorus to NATO warships, including minesweepers. Minister of Defense Hulusi Akar said, “We have a suspicion that the mines were deliberately introduced. Perhaps they were fired as part of some plan to put pressure on us in order to let NATO minesweepers [through the straits] into the [[Black Sea]]. But we are committed to the rules of the Montreux [Convention] and do not let warships enter the Black Sea.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thefrontierpost.com/turkish-defense-minister-says-ankara-will-not-let-warships-into-the-black-sea/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Meanwhile U.S. socialist premier [[Joe Biden]] bragged of NATO unity.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://news.yahoo.com/president-biden-touts-nato-unity-192119665.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Turkiye has been a member of NATO since 1952.&lt;br /&gt;

Turkish president Recep Erdogan stated on June 9, 2022 that many of the [[Aegean]] islands claimed by NATO ally [[Greece]] were indeed Turkish and need to be demilitarised.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://apnews.com/article/recep-tayyip-erdogan-turkey-middle-east-nato-a504ec58cc242762db5e3a5ec7dade67&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The Greek government responded on June 14, 2022 by publishing 16 maps seeking to demonstrate and explain the revisionist nature of Turkish assertions and actions concerning the islands from 1973 until 2022.&lt;br /&gt;

The sanctions regime against Russia began in 2012 with passage of the [[Magnitsky Act]] under the false and [[bigot]]ed notion that Russia was just a &amp;quot;gas station with nuclear weapons.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/06/two-big-errors-about-russia-by-helmholtz-smith.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The sanctions imposed in 2022 by the US and EU have been referred to by critics as &amp;quot;a controlled demolition of the Western economies.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Ukrainian mines.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Ukrainian forces mining their own harbors, restricting export of grain. February 2022.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Anti-Russian sanctions did not strengthen, but, on the contrary, undermined the global dominance of the United States and the EU, which the rest of the world began to treat with distrust and apprehension. They dramatically accelerated the transition to a new world economic order and the shift of the center of the world economy away from the West.  Three months after the incursion began and sanctions imposed on Russia, the Russian Ruble strengthened from 80 to the dollar to 58.5, more than a 25% rise.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://i0.wp.com/thedreizinreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/ruble.5.20.22c.jpg?w=713&amp;amp;ssl=1&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The Ruble strengthened even more against the [[euro]].  Russia profited from the American and EU sanctions,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/energy-environment/russia-doubles-profits-from-oil-and-gas-sales-to-eu-during-war-study&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; while the United States and the EU shot itself in the foot under the discombobulated and mistaken notion that they could take Russia down economically, convince the Russian people to rise up, storm the [[Kremlin]], and force Vladimir Putin to resign. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ukraine, with strategic consultation from NATO, mined its own Black Sea harbors, impeding Ukraine's shipments of grain to the world.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
By the first week of May 2022, gas prices for civilian vehicles in Ukraine hit over $12 per gallon, and consumers were limited to 2.5 gals. Deisel fuel for non-military consumption was non-existent, and rail traffic virtually came to a halt, affecting the delivery of food and gasoline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, the United States and European Union fell into a self-inflicted economic [[recession]] with [[inflation]], [[food]] supply and [[gas]] shortages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Foreign bond holders of Russian debt instruments were forced to sue the [[Biden junta]] because the junta refused to allow the Russian government to make interest payments to the bondholders in dollars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Security Council Deputy Chairman [[Dmitry Medvedev]] in a message on social media about Western sanctions said:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;these sanctions are directed specifically against the people of Russia...And no matter what the American and European leaders say about their claims of 'punishing your bosses', and 'we love you, common citizens' - this is pure nonsense...They [[hate]] us all!...At the heart of these decisions is hatred towards Russia - and its people...Hatred towards our [[culture]] - hence the attempt to cancel [[Tolstoy]], [[Chekhov]], [[Tchaikovsky]] and [[Shostakovich]]...Hatred for our [[religion]] - hence the desire to destroy the [[Russian Orthodox Church]] and impose sanctions against its patriarch...And it has always been this way.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://tass.com/world/1458507&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
A new '''[[G8]]''' was created consisting of non-Western countries whose economies were not collapsing as a result of the Western self-imposed sanctions against Russia.  The member countries are Brazil, China, India, Russia, Indonesia, Iran, Turkey and Mexico.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''[[The Hill]]'' reported on June 15, 2022 that Biden regime officials admitted Russian sanctions didn't work To stop Putin, worsened inflation and food insecurity, and punished ordinary people.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/t_3aUlcIvyU&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

By denying Russia access to the SWIFT payment system for money transfers between international banks, Biden and the European Union denied Russia of its ability to make payments to bondholders of Russian foreign debt, although Russia had the ability to pay. Much of that debt was held by pension funds in the United States and European Union.  Hence the workers and people dependent on pensions in the United States and European Union were punished by EU leaders and Biden, leaving Russia little affected. Additionally, Biden and EU leaders seized - virtually stole without any legal basis or international court judgement - Russian assets outside of Russia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fertilizers===&lt;br /&gt;
American and European sanctions on Russian fertilizer exports killed global food production for the 2022 growing season.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-sanctions-higher-food-prices-potash/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Russian and Belarusian fertilizers account for 40% of potash-based fertilizers necessary for global food production.  The sanctions took effect for the 2022 spring planting season in the northern hemispheres.  The President of [[Senegal]] and Chairperson of the African Union. Macky Sall said, &amp;quot;Anti-Russia sanctions have made this situation worse and now we do not have access to [[grain]] from Russia, primarily to [[wheat]]. And, most importantly, we do not have access to fertilizer. The situation was bad and now it has become worse, creating a threat to food security in Africa.... We must work together to resolve these problems so that sanctions are lifted on [[food]] products, in particular, grain, and fertilizer.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/68564&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
African Union members cannot buy fertilizers and grain because of the stranglehold America has on the international payment system through the SWIFT network of payments between international banks.  An alternative payment system to by-pass the SWIFT network is being considered, lowering the demand for and value of [[dollar]]s globally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simultaneously the [[G7]] Western alliance will not allow Africa to develop their own use of natural gas to produce fertilizer to increase crop yield/harvest.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.ibtimes.com/eu-split-over-fertiliser-plants-poorer-nations-food-crisis-bites-3545549&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The G7 control food production in Africa by controlling the energy company investment needed to manufacture fertilizer.  The G7 and Western alliance prioritized climate change energy policy over food production which will caused food shortages and [[famine]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a panic the Biden regime encouraged agricultural and shipping companies to buy and carry more Russian fertilizer when faced with famine and mass starvation after imposing sanctions on Russia, ''[[Bloomberg News]]'' reported.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-06-13/us-quietly-urges-russia-fertilizer-deals-to-unlock-grain-trade&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Food===&lt;br /&gt;
On March 24, 2022 Biden claimed that economic sanctions on Russia were never meant to deter a Russian incursion into Ukraine while he prepared Americans and Western NATO bloc countries for the approaching food shortages.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/biden-says-russia-sanctions-werent-meant-to-deter-putin-but-his-admin-said-they-were&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The NATO alliance decided it is more important to follow the [[climate change]] agenda than it was to feed people.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/eu-split-over-fertiliser-plants-poorer-nations-food-crisis-bites-2022-06-20/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The U.K and Germany proposed trying to avoid further conflict by generating more food.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/joe-biden-to-block-boris-johnson-e2-80-99s-answer-to-global-food-crisis/ar-AAYTuyB&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The U.S. and Canada blocked the effort saying that maintaining the shift toward new renewable energy development is more important.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/joe-biden-to-block-boris-johnson-e2-80-99s-answer-to-global-food-crisis/ar-AAYTuyB&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Gas===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On February 7, 2022 Michael Hudson, a research professor of Economics at University of Missouri, Kansas City, wrote:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;The only way left for U.S. diplomats to block European purchases [of Russian gas] is to goad Russia into a military response and then claim that avenging this response outweighs any purely national economic interest. As hawkish Under-Secretary of State for Political Affairs, [[Victoria Nuland]], explained in a State Department press briefing on January 27 [2022]: “If Russia invades Ukraine one way or another [[Nord Stream 2]] will not move forward.” The problem is to create a suitably offensive incident and depict Russia as the aggressor.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2022/02/michael-hudson-americas-real-adversaries-are-its-european-and-other-allies.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

''[[Reuters]]'' reported that the heads of 22 diplomatic missions, including those of [[European Union]] member states, released a joint letter on March 1, 2022 urging [[Pakistan]] to support a resolution in the [[United Nations General Assembly]] (UNGA) condemning Russia.  Pakistani prime minister [[Imran Khan]] responded at a public event in [[Islamabad]] saying, &amp;quot;What do you think of us?

{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Russia's military action in Ukraine is meant to put an end to the US-dominated world order…Our special military operation is also meant to put an end to the unabashed expansion of NATO and the unabashed drive towards full domination by the United States and its Western subjects on the world stage...This domination is built on gross violations of international law and under some rules, which they are now hyping so much and which they make up on a case-by-case basis”.}}&lt;br /&gt;
On April 25, 2022, NATO carried out another terror attack on the Russian city of Bryansk.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/rwQzZt5GyiE&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===European Union===&lt;br /&gt;
For the first time in its history, the [[European Commission]] financed the purchase and transport of weapons.  The package cost 450 million euros ($502m) to be delivered to the Kyiv regime.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.telegraphindia.com/world/russia-ukraine-crisis-us-tells-nationals-to-consider-leaving-russia-immediately/cid/1853839&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The European Commission also closed its airspace to Russian commercial airflight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 11, 2022, EU external minister Josep Borrell back peddled on EU policy which provoked the war, &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;I am ready to admit that we made a number of mistakes and that we lost the possibility of Russia’s rapprochement with the West.  There are moments that we could do better, there are things that we proposed and then could not implement, such as, for example, the promise that Ukraine and Georgia will become part of NATO.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailysabah.com/world/europe/west-made-mistake-in-promising-ukraine-nato-membership-borrell&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
On April 9, 2022 Borrell announced more military aid to Kyiv saying that the conflict “will be won on the battlefield,&amp;quot; a rather curious, if not foolish and downright dangerous statement given that the European Union has no military forces of its own.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://armedia.am/eng/news/103100/this-war-will-be-won-on-the-battlefield-borrell.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Borrell appeared to be encouraging Ukrainian forces to continue fighting in a lost cause to perpetuate more needless slaughter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The EU withheld money that is owed to Hungary from a massive slush fund created by higher taxation and printing more euros implemented during the [[CCP global pandemic]] to deal with the [[covid lockdown]]s.  The funds were supposed to be dished out to member states.  The EU withheld the funds to Hungary, as well as to Poland, citing Article 7 rule saying that Hungary and Poland are going &amp;quot;against EU values,&amp;quot; specifically anti-child [[grooming]] laws.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Radoslaw Sikorski, a member of the EU parliament and former Foreign and Defense Minister in Poland, a political enemy of the [[conservative]]s now in government, suggested that the West should arm Ukraine with nuclear weapons.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.cotidianul.ro/sugestii-din-polonia-vestul-sa-inarmeze-nuclear-ucraina/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===NATO===&lt;br /&gt;
NATO is a system whereby European powers allow the US military to operate on their territory in exchange for the United States picking up a large portion of their defense costs. It essentially saddles US taxpayers with the cost of upholding European [[Socialism]] at the expense of America's own social welfare system, like [[healthcare]].&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
''Sputnik'' reported that a laptop with intelligence data was found at one of the headquarters of the neo-Nazi Pravy Sektor. The computer allegedly has a licensed NATO registry number, Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) head Denis Pushilin said.  &amp;quot;The militants of the nationalists battalions have a special level of security clearance from the North Atlantic Alliance. This laptop contains a detailed map of the area with the location of our units,&amp;quot; Pushilin said.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://sputniknews.com/20220306/nato-labelled-laptop-with-intelligence-found-at-ukrainian-nationalists-hq-dpr-head-says--1093639199.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On March 12, 2022, NATO Secretary-General [[Jens Stoltenberg]] began walking back NATO threats to Russia by saying membership for Ukraine was not relevant or on the agenda.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theepochtimes.com/ukraines-nato-membership-is-not-relevant-or-on-the-agenda-jens-stoltenberg_4333429.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  According to reports, Stoltenberg said that any support from [[China]] to Russia would help Russia to continue to wage war and that China has an obligation as a member of the UN Security Council to uphold international law.  The spokesperson of the Chinese Mission to the [[EU]] responded:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;we will never forget who had bombed our embassy in the Federal Republic of [[Yugoslavia]]. We need no lecture on [[justice]] from the abuser of international law. As a [[Cold War]] remnant and the world’s largest military alliance, NATO continues to expand its geographical scope and range of operations. What kind of role it has played in world peace and stability? NATO needs to have good reflection.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.chinamission.be/eng/fyrjh/202203/t20220317_10652463.htm Spokesperson of the Chinese Mission to the EU Speaks on a Question Concerning NATO Leader’s Remarks on China], 2022-03-17. www.chinamission.be&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
In an interview with CNN on March 20, 2022, President Zelensky said “I requested them personally to say directly that we are going to accept you into NATO in a year or two or five, just say it directly and clearly, or just say no.  And the response was very clear, 'you’re not going to be a NATO member, but publicly, the doors will remain open.'”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.cnn.com/europe/live-news/ukraine-russia-putin-news-03-20-22/h_7c08d64201fdd9d3a141e63e606a62e4&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Former [[Warsaw Pact]] NATO members sent their old Soviet-era weapons and equipment to Ukraine, not out of fear of Russia or Putin, but in exchange for free, upgraded replacement equipment courtesy of the US taxpayer and [[military industrial complex]].  The exchange of equipment keeps Raytheon and other US defenses contractors' employees employed, as well as Congressional funding flowing for upgrades and development of new weapons systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 28, 2022 ''[[Yahoo News]]'' reported that NATO was conducting combat exercises on the Belarusian border.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://news.yahoo.com/belarusian-border-nato-military-exercise-152954622.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On April 1, 2022, ''Reuters'' reported an attack on a fuel storage facility in the Russian city of Belgorod, north of the Russia-Ukraine border.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-702949&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Ukrainian National Security Council Oleksiy Danilov denied any Ukrainian involvement.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reuters.com/world/ukraine-strikes-fuel-depot-russias-belgorod-regional-official-says-2022-04-01/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  On April 13, 2022 more attempts at sabotage and strikes were reported against facilities on Russian Federation territory.  Moscow said that if such incidents continue, the Russian Armed Forces will strike at decision-making centers, including those in Kyiv.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the night of April 13-14 , the flagship of the Russian Black Sea fleet, the cruiser ''Moskva'', was seriously damaged. A ship of this class in the Black Sea conditions could have been successfully attacked either by a complex of anti-ship systems, including both missiles and aircrafts, or by a submarine. According to ''Southfront'' NATO military was directly involved in the attack.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://southfront.org/war-in-ukraine-day-48-wheel-of-war-heads-downhill&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Russia sent a formal ''[[demarche]]'' to [[Washington, D.C.]] warning the United States to stop arming Ukraine or face &amp;quot;unpredictable consequences.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2022/04/16/world/russia-warning-us-weapons-ukraine/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To impede NATO supply lines to the fascist Kyiv regime, on the night of April 24, 2022 and morning of April 25, Russian cruise missiles destroyed six traction substations within the Ukrainian rail system, paralyzing all electric trains in western Ukraine, leaving all the NATO heavy equipment stuck on the rails and an easy target for cruise missiles. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 14, 2022 it was reported that AFU forces were given orders not to complain on social media about having to use foreign weapons.  Western weapons, such as the  Javelin anti-tank missile, are too complicated and fail in use.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/zAgAWMOiK5Y&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Video evidence and eyewitness testimony claim that Russian tanks were hit six and seven times with Javelins which merely bounced off.  Ukrainian soldiers felt it wasn't worth risking their lives with this much vaunted weapon only to be exposed and defenseless in the end.  The Italian newspaper ''Il Giornale'' reported that military-grade weaponry in Ukraine was allegedly being sold to international buyers on the encrypted messaging app Telegram.  Weapons said to be for sale include not just Ukrainian-origin arms such as old Soviet-era AK-47 rifles, but also American-made rifles like the [[M16]] and the M4, along with other NATO member-origin firearms like the ARX 160 A1 manufactured by the Italian weapons company Beretta.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2022/05/14/western-weapons-in-ukraine-being-sold-on-via-encrypted-messaging-app-report/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 20, 2022 [[Italy]] presented a four-point peace plan to United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres to end the conflict in Ukraine.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/russia-ukraine-latest-news-2022-05-20/card/italy-circulates-4-point-peace-plan-h2o9EfwULf6P1mwDbjdn&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
NATO delivery of weapons was likened to &amp;quot;clearing off the shelves of a day-old bakery shop.&amp;quot;  With newer, more sophisticated ''[[Wunderwaffen]]'', there wasn't enough time for months and months of training. Ukrainian troops tried googling for instructions how to use them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--NATO delivery of its equivalents of the Russian GRAD MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System), known as the HIMARS, is virtually useless as it always has been since the Russians first introduced the weapon during the Second World War.  The United States is incapable of delivering the thousands and thousands of tons of explosive ordinance needed daily and hourly for a multiple rocket launch system.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://rumble.com/v16looj-how-about-those-himars.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  By contrast, the Russian military machine never stopped producing GRADs and ammunition after 1945, and it's extensive railway network can deliver the needed weapons and supply from factory or storage facility to battlefield at relatively low cost.  The same is true with heavy armored vehicles; the cost of ship building and aircraft to deliver the vehicles and weapons to the battlefield in Europe must be factored into the unit cost of each tank, making competition with Russia in the field of conventional weapons prohibitive.  This fact has been known to military and strategic planners since World War I, yet Congress and the [[military industrial complex]] has squandered trillions of dollars in maintaining and upgrading conventional arms while the United States has always relied upon nuclear weapons as its first line of defense against Russia.--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
At the 2022 NATO summit in [[Madrid]] in June, Turkiye withdrew its objection to the addition of Finland and Sweden to NATO membership, with the three countries signing a trilateral memorandum requiring Finland and Sweden to extradite [[Kurd]]ish terrorists at Turkiye's request.&lt;br /&gt;

Bush]] on September 11, 1991 - exactly ten years to the day prior to the [[9/11 attacks]] which spelled the doom of the first new world order and was completed by Joe Biden with his humiliating [[Fall of Kabul|withdrawal from Afghanistan]] nearly twenty years later to the day.  On March 22, 2022 the Russian state [[Duma]] established a parliamentary commission to investigate the American biological laboratories operating in Ukraine.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://interkomitet.com/live/leonid-slutsky-the-state-duma-almost-unanimously-voted-for-a-parliamentary-investigation-into-the-circumstances-of-the-creation-of-biological-laboratories-on-the-territory-of-ukraine/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Deputy Leonid Slutsky, who is a member of the committee, issued a statement:&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Buffalo shooter manifesto.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Cover page of the Buffalo, New York supermarket shooter's manifesto with Ukrainian neo-Nazi Azov regiment logo.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1525601782197817344&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Russia will continue to raise the issue of the need to investigate US activities in the field of biological research, including in the UN structures. Obviously, we can talk about a direct violation of the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons (BTWC).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What is known today from the materials that were discovered during the special military operation in Ukraine? The biolaboratories were formally under the jurisdiction of the Central Sanitary and Epidemiological Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, but Americans were placed as curators everywhere. In fact, pathogens of dangerous diseases were tested on the local genotype (Slavic). At the same time, pathogens were created that, most likely, they tried to make resistant to commercial [[vaccine]]s or [[antibiotic]]s. There were about 30 such laboratories in total, 13 of them had a very high level of protection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Against this background, according to experts, in recent years Ukraine has turned into some incomprehensible hotbed of old and new diseases. For example, we all remember that [[measles]] was defeated in the [[USSR]]. But in 2005-2007, measles returned to Ukraine, moreover, in the form of an [[epidemic]], and until 2021 it was present as a significant disease. [[WHO]] even named Ukraine the capital of measles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A similar situation was with cholera. The last cases of cholera were registered in the country in the 90s, but in 2011 33 people fell ill with cholera in Mariupol, in 2014 there were already 800 people, in 2015-2017 more than 100 cases were recorded annually in Nikolaev.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Further more interesting: in 2009 Ternopil, 450 Ukrainians suffered from a virus that causes hemorrhagic pneumonia, which has never been present in the north of [[Eurasia]], this [[virus]] is characteristically noted in Equatorial Africa. How he got there is a big question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I specifically cite this data in detail in order to show the scope of everything that existed in the immediate vicinity of the territory of Russia. And it’s really scary.&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Joe Biden's son, the corrupt self-admitted crackhead Hunter Biden, secured millions of dollars in funding for Metabiota, a [[U.S. Department of Defense]] contractor in Ukraine specializing in deadly pathogen research which he himself, through his company [[Rosemont Seneca]], had invested in.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10652127/Hunter-Biden-helped-secure-millions-funding-military-biotech-research-program-Ukraine.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[Paul Nakasone]] told ''[[Sky News]]'' that United States military hackers conducted offensive operations in support of Ukraine: &amp;quot;We've conducted a series of operations across the full spectrum; offensive, defensive, [and] information operations.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://news.sky.com/story/us-military-hackers-conducting-offensive-operations-in-support-of-ukraine-says-head-of-cyber-command-12625139&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

An American military aircraft was seen in the emergency area with the Russian cruiser ''Moskva''.  The ''Moskva'' was near Odessa, closer to Romania. The ''Moskva'' was equipped with a new phased array locator with illumination range is 500 km.  At about 19 pm, an American military patrol and reconnaissance anti-submarine aircraft of the [[US Navy]] was spotted in the western part of Romanian airspace. The latter was located approximately 70 kilometers from the location of the Russian missile cruiser ''Moskva''.  According to data available to the Avia.pro news agency, a US military patrol reconnaissance and anti-submarine Boeing P-8A Poseidon aircraft was in the eastern part of Romanian airspace, flying with an unknown target. According to a number of data, the flight of the Boeing RC-135 aircraft was also carried out, however, the latter could not be tracked by the [https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ ADS-B Exchange] resource.  According to the ADS-B Exchange resource, the American Boeing P-8 Poseidon aircraft with the ICAO identification code AE681B was flying near the Zhurilovka settlement (Romania). However, due to the transponder periodically turned off by the crew, experts do not exclude that the bird could also fly over the western part of the Black Sea, where, according to preliminary information, the Russian missile cruiser ''Moskva'' was located.  What kind of information could be collected by the American military reconnaissance aircraft Boeing P-8 Poseidon is still unknown, however, judging by the data presented, the bird was still in the air at 21 hours and 17 minutes.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://avia-pro.net/news/v-rayone-chp-s-rossiyskim-kreyserom-moskva-byl-zamechen-amerikanskiy-voennyy-samolyot&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The reaction of public opinion in the Russian Federation to the interference and provocation by the United States and killing of their sailors was one of outrage, and demanding that their government and leaders take appropriate action.&lt;br /&gt;

On June 1, 2022 Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told ''RIA Novosti'' news that Biden's decision to arm Ukraine with HIMAR missile launchers increases the risk of direct confrontation between Russia and the United States.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ukraine received 8 HIMARs from the U.S., 3 from the UK, and 3 from Germany for a total of 14.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The U.S. also promised to intervene in the conflict by providing active real time targeting intelligence.  [[Blinken]] said the weapons, which have a precision range of up to 300 kilometers using ATACMS ammunition, were given on the pretext of a promise by Zelensky not to use the HIMARs against Russian territory. However Zelensky's chief propagandist Alexie Arestovich immediately threatened, &amp;quot;Crimea is ours…It belongs to Ukraine…And they know it…Therefore, it will fly to Crimea double-time.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.sott.net/article/468500-US-to-allow-Ukraine-to-decide-range-of-missiles-Kiev-threatens-to-strike-Crimea-should-the-need-arise?&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Ukrainian General Dmytro Marchenko said the Crimean Bridge over the Kerch Strait would be the number 1 target for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.&lt;br /&gt;

On November 9, 2021, ''Ottawa Citizen'' military reporter David Pugliese revealed that when [[Canadian]] military officials met with the neo-Nazi [[Azov Battalion]] in June 2018, they knew the group used the Nazi “Wolfsangel” symbol and praised officials who helped slaughter [[Jews]] and [[Polish|Poles]] during World War II. “A year before the meeting,” reports Pugliese, &amp;quot;Canada’s Joint Task Force Ukraine produced a briefing on the Azov Battalion, acknowledging its links to Nazi ideology.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/canadian-officials-who-met-with-ukrainian-unit-linked-to-neo-nazis-feared-exposure-by-news-media-documents&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Rather than express public disagreement with their views, Canadian military officials sought to manage any potential public relations fallout from at least two meetings, which included Azov representatives boasting about their Canadian support.&lt;br /&gt;

A September 2021 report from an Institute at George Washington University revealed that Centuria boasted about being trained by some of the 200 Canadian troops in the Ukraine. The report detailed Centuria members making Nazi salutes, praising [[SS]] units and promoting [[white supremacy]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/far-right-extremists-in-ukrainian-military-bragged-about-canadian-training-report-says-1.5631304&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In March 2016 retired Canadian soldier Oksana Kuzyshyn spoke at an event titled “A Canadian’s experience training the AZOV Battalion to NATO standards”.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://ucpbacalgary.ca/event/march-31-2016-one-canadians-experience-training-the-azov-batallion-to-nato-standards/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  One month earlier “nearly 200 officer cadets and professors of Canada’s Royal Military College” attended a screening of Ukrainians/Les Ukrainiens: God’s Volunteer Battalion, which praised fascist militias fighting in the [[Donbas]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://ucpbacalgary.ca/event/march-31-2016-one-canadians-experience-training-the-azov-batallion-to-nato-standards/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since U.S. and Canadian backed ultranationalists overthrew [[democracy|democratically]] elected President [[Viktor Yanukovych]] in the 2014 Maidan coup, Canadian politicians have spoken alongside and marched with Canadian members of Ukraine’s Pravy Sektor,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://theleftchapter.blogspot.com/2016/09/what-is-far-right-organisation-right.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; which said it was “defending the values of white, Christian Europe against the loss of the nation and deregionalisation.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://mondediplo.com/2014/03/02ukraine&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Pravy Sektor has been implicated in the [[Odessa Trade Unions House massacre]] wherein at least 46 ethnic Russians were burnt alive by Maidan fascists.  The black and red flag of Pravy Sektor is based on the Nazi-era &amp;quot;bloods and soil&amp;quot; flag. &lt;br /&gt;

Alongside the U.S., Canada has funded, equipped and trained the neo-Nazi infiltrated National Police of Ukraine (NPU), which was founded after the democratically Yanukovych was overthrown. A former deputy commander of the Azov Battalion, Vadim Troyan had a series of senior positions in the NPU, including acting chief.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://yvesengler.com/2020/03/01/neo-nazis-arrest-highlights-ottawas-support-for-ukrainian-far-right/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Efraim Zuroff, the Director of the [[Simon Wiesenthal|Simon Wiesenthal Center]] in [[Israel]], denounced Canadian troops for training neo-Nazi fighters in Ukraine, saying Ottawa has a responsibility to prevent such things from happening.   “The Government of Canada did not exercise due diligence” Ephraim Zuroff told ''Citizen'' of Ottawa. “There is no doubt that there are neo-Nazis in Ukraine in various forms, whether in the Azov Regiment or other organizations.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.b92.net/eng/news/world.php?yyyy=2022&amp;amp;mm=04&amp;amp;dd=14&amp;amp;nav_id=113531&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

During his trip to Ukraine in 2016 [[Justin Trudeau]] was photographed with Ukrainian Parliament Speaker Andriy Parubiy, who had a background with the ultranationalists and was accused of praising [[Hitler]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.mondialisation.ca/meet-andriy-parubiy-the-former-neo-nazi-leader-turned-speaker-of-ukraines-parliament/5520502&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  In ''Canada is Not Back: How Justin Trudeau is in Over His Head on Foreign Policy'', Jocelyn Coulon, who was a member of Trudeau’s International Affairs Council of Advisers and then an adviser to former foreign minister Stephane Dion, described how the Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) sabotaged efforts to lessen tension with Russia. “Dion’s determination to restore relations with Russia quickly came up against pro Ukrainian pressure groups,” he wrote.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To a large extent Ottawa and Washington view the Ukraine as a proxy to weaken Russia. As part of this geopolitical competition, they’ve backed neo-Nazi militia members fighting the independent [[Donbas]] republics.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://mronline.org/2021/11/13/military-knows-it-looks-bad-but-works-with-neo-nazis-anyway/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

According to ''RIA Novosti'', British officers were abruptly redeployed to Kyiv on February 24, 2022 to command defense of the city from a headquarters set up in a school.  “A source in the Ukrainian Armed Forces said that after a swift offensive by a group of Russian troops on February 24 against Kiev, the British, who were assisting with intelligence to the ATO headquarters in Kramatorsk, moved to Kiev to lead the city’s defence from a headquarters based at school No 72″, – he said.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://en.news-front.info/2022/05/13/british-officers-already-working-in-kramatorsk-12-days-before-russian-special-operation-in-ukraine-begins/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On March 26, 2022 two officers of the main department of external security of the Ministry of Defense of the French Republic (DGSE) flying by helicopter were shot down by [[Russian]] forces while on a mission to withdraw fighters from the [[Battle of Mariupol]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://avia--pro-net.translate.goog/news/na-ukraine-sbit-vertolyot-s-oficerami-francuzskoy-razvedki-dgse&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The two were immediately taken prisoner by the Russians.  According to reports by both a Russian and Ukrainian source, French soldiers from the Special Operations Command were in Mariupol side by side with the Azov Nazis.  Troops attached to the Special Operations Command are under the orders of Chief of the Defense Staff, General Thierry Burkhard, but they receive their orders directly from the Chief of the Armed Forces, President Emmanuel Macron.  On March 31, 2022, General Eric Vidaud, the head of the Direction of Military Intelligence (DRM), was fired.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2022/03/31/frances-intelligence-chief-failed-predict-invasion-step-immediately/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Public broadcaster France-Télévision presented a report on during the France-2 evening news, on March 31, 2022.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.voltairenet.org/article216354.html?id_article=216354#social&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The report acknowledged that the Azov Battalion consisted of neo-Nazi elements since 2014, singling out one of its founders, Andriy Biletsky, but insisted that it had evolved into a respectable defense force. However, France-2 omitted to mention its other founder, [[Dmytro Yarosh]], who during the Russia-Ukraine war was Adviser to the [[Commander-in-Chief]] of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The French channel referred to an old United Nations report documenting systematic torture in [[Donbas]], but it neglected to mention either the Azov Battalion's special prisons uncovered by the Russian army,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thesaker.is/former-sbu-employee-revealed-information-about-secret-prisons-in-donbass-and-kievs-involvement-in-downing-mh17/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; or statements issued by the UN in this regard. France-2 also failed to explain the weight of the [[Banderite]]s in [[Ukrainian nationalist]] history, reducing the prominence of the neo-Nazis to brandishing the [[swastika]]. France-2 reported the threat to be between 3,000 and 5,000 men, while ''[[Reuters]]'' reported the paramilitary [[Banderite]]s number to be 102,000 men, split into several militias incorporated within the Territorial Defense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Macron facing re-election in weeks, the fact French officers were holed up training neo-Nazis in Azovstal was an embarrassing revelation. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.veteranstoday.com/2022/04/09/nato-fails-to-evacuate-military-advisors-from-mariupol-in-dry-cargo-ship/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 10, 2022 Macron, speaking to the [[European Parliament]] in [[Strasbourg]], quashed Ukrainian ambitions to join the EU, proposing instead a &amp;quot;new European political community&amp;quot; open to non-member states like Ukraine, adding that it may take &amp;quot;several decades&amp;quot; for Kyiv to fully realize its EU ambitions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.newsweek.com/macron-ukraine-eu-russia-france-1705232&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 19, 2022, during a visit to Romania, Macron commented on NATO provocations against Transnistria: “The recent incidents in Transnistria show that we cannot exclude that the conflict will spread to neighboring countries,&amp;quot; and that [[France]] “intends to keep a special eye on the regional security situation and any possible encroachment on Moldova’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”&lt;br /&gt;

The Kyiv regime had denied German president Frank-Walter Steinmeiner, who helped broker the Minsk Agreements, a welcome to Kyiv in April.  Scholz responded to the Ukrainian government's chief representative in Germany,  “You can’t do that. It can’t work that when a country has provided so much military aid, so much financial aid — which is needed — when it’s a question of the security guarantees that will be important to Ukraine in the future — you then say: But the president can’t come.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://news.yahoo.com/sulky-liver-sausage-ukraine-ambassador-113038099.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Melnik went on to praise the Holocaust of [[Jews]] and [[Polish|Poles]] by Nazis during World War II.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/ukraine-andrij-melnyk-provoziert-mit-verharmlosung-von-stepan-bandera-a-e725328d-eba2-4f40-a865-b58a67d13804&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
60 Ukrainian soldiers arrived in Germany on May 11, 2022 to begin 40 days training on the five-man operated Howitzer 2000 artillery system.  Other training centers are reportedly opened or opening, thus making Germany a proxy of Ukraine and a participant in the conflict.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nairaland.com/7107300/germany-warned-role-ukraine-conflict#112461045&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Berlin is officially supplying weapons and training  to a regime that upholds Nazi ideology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a speech at the [[Bundestag]] on May 19, 2022, Scholz said he was against granting Ukraine a &amp;quot;shortcut&amp;quot; to join the bloc out of fairness to six [[Balkan]] countries which have been waiting to join for years.  &amp;quot;French President Emmanuel Macron is right to stress that the accession process is not a matter of a few months or a few years.&amp;quot;  In response, the [[white supremacist]] regime in Kyiv complained it was getting &amp;quot;second-class treatment&amp;quot; by having to take a back seat to the people of the Balkans.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2022/05/19/ukraine-slams-second-class-treatment-after-scholz-dashes-kyiv-s-hopes-of-quick-eu-membersh&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 25, 2022 ''[[Politico]]'' reported that Germany was &amp;quot;flabbergasted&amp;quot; by accusations from Polish President Andrzej Duda that Germany had broken its promise to resupply Poland with tanks after Poland's delivery to Ukraine of 240 Soviet era tanks.  A government spokesman said, “There was a clear request from the Polish side to transfer state-of-the-art Leopard 2A7 main battle tanks to Poland, but the problem is that the Bundeswehr itself only has a small number — about 50 — of these tanks,” adding that while “more are in the pipeline....they have to be manufactured.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.politico.eu/article/berlin-flabbergasted-poland-accusation-broken-promise-tank/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=====Sleepwalking into war=====&lt;br /&gt;
Hans-Georg Maassen, who headed Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Germany’s domestic security agency from 2012 to 2018, warned his fellow citizens on May 25, 2022 that Germany was “sleepwalking” into war with Russia.  Maassen cited on TV Berlin’s ‘Special’ program a ruling by the [[International Court of Justice]] that the supply of weapons to one of the warring parties in a conflict makes the supplier a party to the conflict, too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The former intelligence chief argued that, contrary to what the German media says, “Ukraine is not a bastion of human rights, of freedom, peace and Western values.”  Massen was terrified by the lack of public discussion on this issue, telling viewers:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;We are now a warring party on Ukraine’s side. Let that sink in: We are a warring party. Against Russia.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thepressunited.com/updates/germany-sleepwalking-into-war-with-russia-former-intel-chief/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

====Denmark====&lt;br /&gt;
In late March 2022 NATO asked Denmark to send a battalion of 800 soldiers to Latvia to bolster the military alliance's eastern flank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 23, 2022 it was announced that [[Denmark]] would provide an unspecified number of US-made Harpoon anti-ship missiles and launchers to Ukraine—a report quickly followed by American defense experts noting: “The Harpoons don't do anything to solve Russia's submarine anti-ship capabilities or its anti-ship missile capabilities that absolutely dwarf Ukraine's, even with the Harpoons, and those of NATO, for that matter…The Black Sea is one of the densest anti-ship missile engagement zones on earth, and Russia is the player with the preeminent arsenal with many types of anti-ship missiles deployed on its ships, coastal areas, and aircraft.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/harpoon-anti-ship-missiles-headed-to-ukraine-from-denmark&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;   Denmark’s supply of US-made Harpoon anti-ship missiles to Ukraine to fight the Russian Black Sea Fleet sent off alarm bells in the Kremlin, revealing the non-humanitarian goals of NATO's &amp;quot;coalition of the willing&amp;quot; for provocative engagements with Russia's Black Sea fleet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 21, 2022 Danish troops in Latvia complained about a lack of underwear and other necessary supplies;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.ph/ItAA6&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; China, which is aligned with Russia, is the world's largest manufacturer of underwear.  The soldiers also complained that they had no ammunition.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://vpk.name/en/611262_danish-soldiers-were-sent-to-latvia-to-spite-putin-they-were-left-without-panties.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Russia===&lt;br /&gt;
Russia’s actions were implemented upon the limited legal authorities granted to Vladimir Putin by the Russian Duma, or parliament, which limits Russia’s force structure to what can be assembled under peacetime conditions.  Any large-scale force mobilization of Russian military operations in Ukraine would require an act by Duma. Additional resources would have to authorized by the Duma if the Ukrainian conflict were to spread to Poland, Transnistria, Finland and Sweden.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
On May 10, 2022 Belarus announced that Ukraine created “an armed group of up to 20,000 personnel” on the border with the country. The military of Belarus announced that “in order to ensure security … in the southern direction, the forces of the special operations forces units are deployed in three tactical directions,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;

On June 16, 2022 warplanes of the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out airstrikes on positions of US-backed Maghaweir al-Thowra in the southeastern Syrian area of al-Tanf, where the US-led  coalition maintains a garrison.  The airstrikes were reportedly a response to an attack with a roadside bomb that resulted in Russian military casualties. Russia blamed MaT for the attack. The US-led coalition was alerted ahead  of the airstrike.&lt;br /&gt;

A clear democratic majority of planet [[Earth]] does not support NATO's war on Russia.  The two most populous countries on the planet, India and China, are not opposing Russia.  Most of [[Africa]] is not condemning Russia.  Similarly, the [[Arab]] and [[Muslim]] world has not condemned Russia.  Only traditional US allies support America's efforts to overthrow the legitimate government of Russia, and many of them are seriously divided on the issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The incidents are too numerous to list (and many more are available at the above See also link), including deliberate war crimes committed by the Ukrainian government against its own citizens to blame on the Russian forces for global propaganda purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 16, 2022 Presidents Emmanuel Macron of France, Olaf Scholz of Germany, Mario Draghi of Italy, and Klaus Iohannis of Romania travelled to Kyiv to present an alternative view to Volodymyr Zelensky for peace and negotiations versus the warmongering view of NATO escalation advocated by Boris Johnson and Joe Biden.  The racist Western media however, ignored Iohannis's presence and reported only on the three white presidents.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thesaker.is/nothing-will-be-as-before/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
====Western coverup====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Western media and the NATO allies [[coverup]] came unglued by their own investigation.  A team of forensic investigators from Kyiv reported that dozens of civilians who died in the city of Bucha were killed by tiny metal arrows from shells fired by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) artillery.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:SBU actions in Bucha April 2, 2022.PNG|right|300px|thumb|[[SBU]] special forces with Cyrillic '''СБУ''' acronym brutalizing civilians, April 2, 2022.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/NG_Strategy/status/1511921181259022343&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Pathologists and coroners who are carrying out postmortems on bodies found in mass graves in the region north of Kyiv said they found small metal darts, called fléchettes, embedded in people’s heads and chests.  “We found several really thin, nail-like objects in the bodies of men and women and so did others of my colleagues in the region,” Vladyslav Pirovskyi, a Ukrainian forensic doctor, told ''[[The Guardian]]''. “It is very hard to find those in the body, they are too thin. The majority of these bodies come from the Bucha-Irpin region.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Independent weapons experts who reviewed pictures of the metal arrows found in the bodies confirmed that they were fléchettes, an anti-personnel weapon widely used during the first world war.  These small metal darts are contained in tank or field gun shells. Each shell can contain up to 8,000 fléchettes. Once fired, shells burst when a timed fuse detonates and explodes above the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“According to a number of witnesses in Bucha, fléchette rounds were fired by artillery a few days before Russian forces withdrew from the area at the end of March”, – ''The Guardian'' reported.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/MpSM-aiaxK4&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The same fléchettes were used by the AFU in 2014 in the [[Lugansk Peoples Republic]] (LPR) at the start of the Donbas war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fléchettes were not widely used during the [[Second World War]], but were brough back by the US during the [[Vietnam war]].  “Fléchettes are an anti-personnel weapon designed to penetrate dense vegetation and to strike a large number of enemy soldiers,” according to Amnesty International. “They should never be used in built-up civilian areas.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://southfront.org/bucha-investigation-contradicts-itself-confirms-afus-atrocities/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A team of 18 experts from the forensic department of France’s national gendarmerie, alongside a team of forensic investigators from Kyiv, have started documenting the situation after the re-occupation of Bucha by the SBU Safari force.  “We are seeing a lot mutilated (disfigured) bodies,” said Pirovsky. “A lot of them had their hands tied behind their backs and shots in the back of their heads. There were also cases with automatic gunfire, like six to eight holes on the back of victims. And we have several cases of cluster bombs’ elements embedded in the bodies of the victims.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evidence collected by experts during a visit to Bucha, Hostomel and Borodianka, and reviewed by independent weapons experts, showed that cluster munitions and powerful unguided bombs were used in the region. They killed a large number of civilians and destroyed at least eight buildings. These types of weapons are banned by the Ottawa Convention, which Ukraine is party to.  Illegal cluster munitions were discovered in Ukrainian weapons storage depots.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chemical weapons===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) is an intergovernmental organisation and the implementing body for the [[Chemical Weapons Convention]] (CWC), which entered into force on April 29, 1997.  The organisation promotes and verifies the adherence to the Chemical Weapons Convention, which prohibits the use of chemical weapons and requires their destruction. Verification consists both of evaluation of declarations by member states and onsite inspections.  The OPCW, with its 193 member states, is based in [[The Hague]], [[Netherlands]] and oversees the global endeavour for the permanent and verifiable elimination of chemical weapons.  The organisation was awarded the [[Nobel Peace Prize]]  in 2013.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On September 27, 2017, OPCW announced that Russia had destroyed its entire chemical weapons stockpile.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.rbc.ru/society/27/09/2017/59cb9f2b9a79472490943b5b|title=Путин поучаствовал в уничтожении последнего в России килограмма химоружия|website=РБК|access-date=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.opcw.org/media-centre/news/2017/09/opcw-director-general-commends-major-milestone-russia-completes|title=OPCW Director-General Commends Major Milestone as Russia Completes Destruction of Chemical Weapons Stockpile under OPCW Verification|website=OPCW}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.opcw.org/fileadmin/OPCW/CSP/C-22/national_statements/UK_Statement.pdf|title=UK Delegation to the OPCW}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to Jacques Baud, a former high-ranking NATO and UN official, on January 18, 2022 Donbas defense units captured Polish speaking saboteurs equipped with Western equipment and who were seeking to create chemical incidents in Horlivka.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://mronline.org/2022/04/10/the-military-situation-in-the-ukraine/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every indication by the Americans early on was for preparation of another false flag chemical weapons attack. By early April, it appeared it would possibly occur in Kharkiv, Kyiv, or Poland.  On April 6, 2022 the Russian Ministry of Defense accused Ukraine of preparing a false flag chemical weapons attack with [[chlorine]] in Pervomaiskyi, in the Kharkiv region.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://liveuamap.com/en/2022/6-april-russian-ministry-of-defense-accuse-ukraine-in-preparation&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  In a story published by NBC News on April 6, 20222 about the U.S. [[intelligence community]]'s use of [[fake news]] in its propaganda war against Russia entitled, ''In a break with the past, U.S. is using intel to fight an info war with Russia, even when the intel isn't rock solid,''&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/us-using-declassified-intel-fight-info-war-russia-even-intel-isnt-rock-rcna23014&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the article included this statement:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;three U.S. officials told NBC News this week there is no evidence Russia has brought any chemical weapons near Ukraine.&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Nonetheless the fake news about Russia plotting a chemical weapons attack can be traced back to the mouth of [[White House]] chief propagandist [[Jen Psaki]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-europe-jen-psaki-chemical-weapons-weapons-of-mass-destruction-f01cedf434ec697034b2912696a3448b&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 11, 2022 Western-backed Nazi remnants hopelessly trapped in the [[Azovstal]] steel plant broadcast details of an alleged chemical weapons attack.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/1NplyTyCjL0&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  This 'red line' that Russophobic hardliners in the West vowed would bring about NATO intervention was largely ignored by Western media and governments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mariupol Drama theater===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Mariupol Drama Theater Azovstal.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Mariupol Drama Theater with Azovstal in the far background.]]&lt;br /&gt;
About 500 civilians were herded into the Mariupol Drama Theater by Ukrainian forces and away from their homes and apartments where bomb shelters existed, with the promise that the theater was being used as a pick-up point for evacuation from the city by bus.  Once inside, the theater exploded from a bomb hidden in its lower levels, killing about 350 civilians. Ukrainian and Western propaganda tried to blame the explosion on the Russian armed forces, however eyewitness survivors attest to the mass murders being committed by the [[Zelensky regime]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.bitchute.com/video/DJAFVdT2XYAp/ MARIUPOL THEATER DRAMA (ENG SUBS)].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The drama theater was being used as an ammunition storage dump by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.  Ukrainian forces and all their vehicles left the scene minutes before the explosion.  Investigators established the deaths were caused by an explosion from within the depths of the building, and not from an outside aerial bombing or artillery shelling.  The night of the explosion, there was no Russian aerial bombing or artillery shelling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Kramatorsk railway station attack===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kramatorsk train station attack.jpg|right|300px|thumb|The Tochka-U fired at the Kramatorsk train station bore a serial number attributable to Ukrainian weapons stocks.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://waikanaewatch.org/2022/04/10/evidence-that-ukraine-fired-the-missile-which-killed-dozens-in-kramatorsk/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Western media coverage of the Tochka-U missile attack at a railway station in Kramatorsk that killed over fifty people and injured more than one hundred were initially widely reported, with images on front pages across the Western media. However, within forty-eight hours the story had disappeared and barely received a mention. This was due to an [[Italian]] news team identifying one of the missiles as being of the type used by Ukrainian forces with the serial number matching one listed in the Ukraine army's inventory stocks. The narrative of Ukrainians killing civilians obviously didn’t fit into the propaganda of the Collective West, and consequently, the dead and injured found instant irrelevance.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thesaker.is/rebranding-nazism/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Alexiy Arestovich===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Alexiy Arestovich]], who was commonly known as 'the Baghdad Bob' of Kyiv, gave daily press briefings on the war and whose facts were indiscriminately accepted at face value and repeated wholesale as the gospel by Western media throughout the planet. Arestovich has been described by his critics as a &amp;quot;[[psychopath]], [[gay]], [[ego]]centric and [[drug addiction|drug addict]] Zelensky adviser.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/1SGXC0GVCUQ&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Here is a small sampling of some of his press pronouncements.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 17, 2022 Arestovich said about the situation in [[Mariupol]]:&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Arestovich.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Senior advisor to Volodymyr Zelensky, Alexei Arestovich, in drag here as &amp;quot;Lyusya&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://proslo.ru/kto-takoj-arestovich-na-ukraine/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Zelensky said today that if the defenders of Mariupol die, then Ukraine will withdraw from negotiations with Russia. Then a completely different period will begin – Ukraine will dictate the terms and will fight until the last Russian scumbag dies. Russia will have nothing to respond to, they have a crisis and a catastrophe.&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Arestovich was enraged by a proposal from  [[Italy]], [[Hungary]], and [[Cyprus]] presented to United Nations General Secretary Antonio Guterres for an immediate ceasefire and for peace talks to begin&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://news.yahoo.com/eu-cracks-widen-over-ukraine-102325952.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; as the [[Donbas cauldron]] was slammed shut and 15,000 troops faced annihilation: &amp;quot;Go f*** yourselves with such proposals, you dumb f****.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.tylaz.net/2022/05/26/president-zelenskys-adviser-on-ukraines-idea-of-ceding-territory-to-russia-go-fuck-yourself/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Arestovich threatened to arrange an &amp;quot;exemplary hysteria&amp;quot; for the United States if Biden would not provide multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) to Ukraine.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://eprimefeed.com/latest-news/latest-news-on-the-situation-in-ukraine-on-june-1-2022-kyiv-blackmails-biden-with-hysteria-ukrainian-refugees-are-being-expelled-from-europe-children-are-beaten-by-the-armed-forces-of-ukraine/100672/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Some translations read, &amp;quot;throw a tantrum&amp;quot;, others read a &amp;quot;model tantrum.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mass rape===&lt;br /&gt;
Lyudmyla Denisova, the Ukrainian Parliament's Commissioner for Human Rights, was fired when no evidence could be found of her allegations of 400 instances of mass rape by Russian soldiers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/russia-ukraine-latest-news-2022-05-31/card/ukraine-s-parliament-dismisses-human-rights-chief-1kQWT7i0GHXyeqh6spRe&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  238 Members of Parliament voted her out.  Denisova was accused of failing to perform her duties and in particular of spreading fake news and propaganda about atrocities supposedly committed by Russian troops in Ukraine.  Such actions only served to tarnish Ukraine’s image, MPs have argued. Other complaints were that Denisova had failed to organize humanitarian corridors and POW exchanges.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/05/rape-allegations-against-russian-troops-in-ukraine-were-fake.html#more&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fake news stories stemming from high ranking Ukrainian officials were widely disseminated by ''TIME'' magazine, CNN, ''Newsweek'' and other fake news sources.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/ukraine-fires-human-rights-chief-perpetuating-russian-troop-systematic-rape-stories&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Morale===&lt;br /&gt;
After the defeat at Azovstal, morale dropped quickly both among the AFU and Ukrainian general public, as well.  People began to realize that they had been lied to and deceived by the daily reporting and announcements coming out of Kyiv and broadcast globally on social media.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A day after the total surrender at the Azovstal plant, a video was broadcast with Azov commander Sviatoslav Palamar, call sign &amp;quot;Kalina&amp;quot;, claiming he and his command were still at the plant and some sort of secret special operation was going on. Speculation ensued that it most likely was a [[sex change operation]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://t.me/russianonwars/701&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Neutrals==&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Neutrals in the 2022 Russia-Ukraine war}}&lt;br /&gt;
===African Union===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The African Union, which was targeted in a NATO war of aggression in 2011 in an attempt to split it apart and decapitate elements of its leadership, has remained neutral.  [[South Africa]], one of the [[BRICS]] countries, refuses to cooperate with NATO's war on Russia.  In early June 2022, [[Algeria]], an oil exporting country, suspended its two-decade old friendship treaty with NATO aligned Spain.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.africanews.com/2022/06/13/algeria-faces-eu-criticism-over-tensed-bilateral-relations-with-spain/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Burkina Faso.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Africans in Burkina Faso ask for Russia's help to throw French forces out of the country.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/DdYtbx3LTfKU/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
After a [[coup]] in the nation Burkina Faso, residents demanded that Russia intervene and throw the French out.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.ph/3H6aV#selection-363.0-367.146&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a virtual address to the African Union in June 2022, only 4 of 55 [[head of state|heads of state]] showed up to hear Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky appeal for support and help.  One was Denis Sassou Nguesso of Congo whose presence was necessary for the meeting to take place as the current rotating chair of the African Union. Nguesso recently visited Vladimir Putin in Moscow and pledged Congolese support and cooperation. Another was the head of the [[Libya]]n-NATO client state, installed in 2013 after NATO's war of aggression against sovereign state of Libya.  So the net total African heads of state who showed up to hear Zelensky's spiel was two.  There has been a strong wave of popular support for Russia's operation in Ukraine from citizens across Africa, especially in regions most affected by terrorism. After the abandonment that Africa has suffered from the West in terms of security and defense cooperation, seeking Russian support has become the greatest [[hope]] for the members of the African Union.  The Zelensky regime is exporting grain to the United States and Western Europe in exchange for weapons, by-passing Africa and aggravating  the threat of [[famine]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In late July 2022 the Libyan front reopened.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/pM--WhxmE2s&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Organization of American States===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Mexico]], [[Brazil]], [[Bolivia]], [[Guatemala]], [[Honduras]], [[El Salvador]] and St. Vincent have refused to cooperate with American and Western neo-colonialist interests against Russia and Eastern Europe.  Mexican president [[Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador]] said of Biden's actions, &amp;quot;we see it as the old policy of interventionism, lack of respect for nations, and their people.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.france24.com/en/americas/20220606-mexico-s-lopez-obrador-to-skip-biden-s-summit-of-the-americas-over-exclusion-of-some-countries&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  President Obrador said of NATO policy towards Ukraine is like saying “I’ll supply the weapons, and you supply the dead. It is immoral.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://kstp.com/associated-press/ap-us-international/mexican-president-slams-nato-policy-in-ukraine/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Protesters have taken to the street to oppose the government of [[Ecuador]]'s anti-Russian policies and subservience to [[Washington, D.C.]] and the Biden regime.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/j8gv0AAgp3g|&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/d4aN7EPs7cc&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Gulf Cooperation Council===&lt;br /&gt;
The Gulf Arab States, [[Saudi Arabia]], [[UAE]], [[Qatar]], [[Bahrain]], [[Oman]], and [[Kuwait]] refused to support Western sanctions on Russia.  The UAE invited Russian investment into the country after the banning and persecution of Russians in NATO countries and the European Union.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Republic of Georgia===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Lugar Center.jpg|left|300px|thumb|The Lugar Center Biological Weapons Research Laboratory in Georgia owned and operated by the U.S. Department of Defense.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/genomeA.00256-17&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
On March 26, 2022, Secretary of the Ukrainian National Security Council Oleksiy Danilov openly started discussing in Ukrainian media the creation of a second front in the [[Republic of Georgia]], and the plausibility of transferring the conflict in Ukraine to Georgia.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.messenger.com.ge/issues/5118_march_29_2022/5118_natalia.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
The regional headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense's biological weapons labs, including those for Ukraine, are located on the Russian border at The Lugar Center, just outside the capital of [[Tbilisi]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/pentagon-biological-weapons-program-never-ended-us-bio-labs-around-the-world/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2007 Georgia ended its policy of having compulsory annual livestock anthrax vaccination. As a result, the morbidity rate of the disease reached its peak in 2013. The same year NATO started human based anthrax vaccine tests at the Lugar Center in Georgia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2007 despite the anthrax outbreak the Georgian government terminated the compulsory vaccination for 7 years, 2013 saw NATO start human trials on a new anthrax vaccine in Georgia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Anthrax]] is one of the bio agents weaponized by the US Army in the past.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB58/RNCBW_USABWP.pdf&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Despite the Pentagon’s claims that its program is only defensive, there are facts to the contrary. In 2016 at the Lugar Center American scientists carried out research on the “Genome Sequence of the Soviet/Russian Bacillus anthracis Vaccine Strain 55-VNIIVViM”,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://genomea.asm.org/content/4/6/e01401-16.full&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; which was funded by DTRA's Cooperative Biological Engagement Program and administered by Metabiota. In 2017 the DTRA funded further research – Ten Genome Sequences of Human and Livestock Isolates of Bacillus anthracis from the Country of Georgia, which was performed by USAMRU-G at The Lugar Center.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://silview.media/2021/06/03/us-ran-grewsome-bioweapon-research-in-over-25-countries-wuhan-tip-of-an-iceberg-ecohealth-alliance-implicated-again/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is caused by infection through a tick-borne virus (Nairovirus). The disease was first characterized in Crimea in 1944 and given the name Crimean hemorrhagic fever. It was then later recognized in 1969 as the cause of illness in Congo, thus resulting in the current name of the disease.  In 2014 34 people became infected (among them a 4-year old child) with CCHF, 3 of which died.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26483375&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The same year Pentagon biologists studied the virus in Georgia under the DTRA project “Epidemiology of febrile illnesses caused by Dengue viruses and other Arboviruses in Georgia”.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.ncdc.ge/Category/Article/1480&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The project included tests on patients with fever symptoms and the collection of ticks, as possible vectors of CCHV for laboratory analysis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cause of the CCHF outbreak in Georgia is still unknown. According to the local Veterinary Department report,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.ghsagenda.org/docs/default-source/default-document-library/archive---vietnam-zdap-files/day-2/s5-2-georgia-cchf-in-georgia-one-health-02.pdf&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; only one tick from all of the collected species from the infected villages tested positive for the disease. Despite the claims of the local authorities that the virus was transmitted to humans from animals, all animal blood samples were negative too. The lack of infected ticks and animals is inexplicable given the sharp increase of CCHF human cases in 2014, meaning that the outbreak was not natural and the virus was spread intentionally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2016 another 21,590 ticks were collected for DNA database for future studies at The Lugar Center under the Pentagon project “Assessing the Seroprevalence and Genetic Diversity of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus (CCHFV) and Hantaviruses in Georgia”.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&amp;amp;mode=form&amp;amp;id=1861649bef259cd12877c74f0c912924&amp;amp;tab=core&amp;amp;_cview=0&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Finland and Sweden's applications to join NATO were fast-tracked, the Republic of Georgia has been waiting for 15 years.  Georgia's membership was not on the agenda for NATO's June 2022 summit.  10,000 Russian troops are in the former Georgian territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.  NATO's discriminatory behavior led to growing anti-NATO sentiment in Georgia.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/9iVFcCjcpWo&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In response to Georgia's neutrality, the EU attempted to stir a Maidan-style [[color revolution]] in Tbilisi.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.aa.com.tr/en/world/georgians-protest-government-for-not-being-granted-eu-candidacy-status/2622175&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===South Korea===&lt;br /&gt;
[[South Korea]] has refused to participate in NATO's war against Russia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Refugees==&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Systemic racism|Ukrainian refugees}}&lt;br /&gt;
Western journalists were criticized for their [[racism]] while reporting on the refugee migration from Ukraine. While Arab refugees were villainized and arrested, Ukrainians were welcomed with lavish benefits.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-ministers-historical-deal-protect-ukraine-refugees/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Western reporters said they are &amp;quot;Europeans with blue eyes and blonde hair&amp;quot; and from a &amp;quot;civilized&amp;quot; country.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/KBRwmTVVKQk&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The [[European Union]] was also criticized for welcoming displaced Ukrainians but holding back [[Syria]]ns and other refugees since 2015. The Ukrainians were being offered [[visa]]s and benefits, while Syrian refugees were still sleeping in tents. Critics called it a blatant [[double standard]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/i1I1mhnJ-MQ&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A group 30-40 child refugees disappeared between the Ukraine and the [[Canary Islands]] raising fears they may have become victims of Western child sex trafficers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.kiratas.com/the-mysterious-journey-of-the-ukrainian-children-lost-between-huelva-and-the-canary-islands/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Ukrainian girl refugees have been exploited in the West in the organized sex trade.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-60891801&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In April 2022 the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) instructed the government of the [[United Kingdom]] to stop matching lone Ukrainian females with single British men.  The UN agency intervenes claimed predatory men were using their homes in a scheme to target vulnerable women.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/13/stop-matching-lone-female-ukraine-refugees-with-single-men-uk-told&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The UK ''[[Guardian]]'' reported UK Prime Minister [[Boris Johnson]] saying on June 23, 2022 that Ukrainian refugees could be deported to [[Rwanda]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/jun/23/ukrainians-who-come-to-uk-illegalPeter%20Navarroly-could-be-sent-to-rwanda-johnson-says&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to recent reports, Ukrainian refugee women are being sought for sexual exploitation in Western countries. Data collected by police officers, private investigators and journalists show that there is a growing demand for Ukrainian women from anonymous sexual predators, who seek to take advantage of refugees in clandestine prostitution networks. But, despite the information, the authorities of these countries have not yet presented any effective plan to combat this type of crime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Sweden, where paying for sex is a crime, thirty-eight men were arrested searching for this service in March, thirty of them related to refugee Ukrainian prostitutes. In Ireland, a sexual services website specifically of Ukrainian women was created. In the UK and Poland, Google searches for “Ukrainian escorts” tripled in just the first week after the Russian special military operation began. In Spain, the search for “Ukrainian porn” increased by 600% since February. In general, this has been the treatment received by Ukrainian female refugees in the West: being exposed to the action of sexual predators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These women arrive in the West in an extremely vulnerable situation, unable to afford life abroad and looking for all kinds of help. Many of them are deceived by job offers and high fees, when they are then directed to the black market of sexual services, where they are subjected to degrading “work” conditions, offering their own bodies so that payers provide profits for the human traffickers who put them there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a interview published on Monday, June 27, 2022 ''Reuters’'' senior human rights advisor Heather Fischer, wrote: “European women, Eastern European woman, Ukrainian women, are already at risk, and often are lured and groomed and recruited into sex trafficking (…) So you put crisis on top of that, and now you have a recipe for increased spikes of demand for human trafficking (…) This might seem innocuous at first to the outside observer, but these trends can actually provide sort of an impetus for traffickers to capitalize the demand (…) It’s just really unfortunate as globally people are wondering how they can rush headlong to supporting some of the most vulnerable people, there was a pocket of society who are asking the opposite question, which is, ‘How can I exploit women and children coming from Ukraine?’ So that’s very alarming for us.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://news.yahoo.com/bad-actors-using-tech-platforms-092916529.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The '''Marvel Cinematic Universe''', or MCU for short, is an ongoing series of films produced by Marvel Studios that feature characters from Marvel Comics.  It started in 2008 with the release of [[Iron Man (film, 2008)|''Iron Man'']]. In recent years it has increasingly been promoting left-wing propaganda, arguably starting with Captain Marvel. It has also set out to replace most of its white male characters.&lt;br /&gt;

==Non-MCU==&lt;br /&gt;
Although a considerable number of Marvel characters are a part of the MCU, there are still a few that are not, due to rights being owned by other studios.  Among them is ''X-Men'', which 20th Century Fox owns the rights.  Another is ''Fantastic Four'', also owned by 20th Century Fox. In addition, the film rights to ''Spider-Man'', despite the inclusion of the character in the MCU with the release of 2016's ''Captain America: Civil War'', continue to be owned and controlled by Sony Pictures.  On November 6, 2017, Disney was in talks to purchase 21st Century Fox, which would mean the rights of ''X-Men'' and ''Fantastic Four'' would revert to Marvel.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2017/11/06/disney-has-been-talks-buy-parts-21st-century-fox-reports-say/836737001/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  In April 2019, the deal was finalized.&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;British: /* Resigns from Breitbart News */ : copyedit&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;'''Milo Yiannopoulos''' (born Milo Hanrahan on 18 October 1984) is a [[British]] [[journalist]], entrepreneur, public speaker, and former editor for [[Breitbart.com|Breitbart News]].  Yiannopoulos is a [[ex-homosexuals|ex-homosexual]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/activist-milo-yiannopoulos-is-now-ex-gay-consecrating-his-life-to-st-joseph Activist Milo Yiannopoulos is now ‘Ex-Gay,’ consecrating his life to St. Joseph]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Despite formerly being openly [[homosexual]], he holds many conservative views, challenging egalitarian arguments and describing himself as a [[cultural libertarian]] though not a 100% economic libertarian. &lt;br /&gt;
He has said the Western governments have &amp;quot;thrown women and gays under the bus&amp;quot; by encouraging mass Muslim immigration. He says Muslims &amp;quot;do not integrate&amp;quot;, provoking outraged leftwingers to call him &amp;quot;racist&amp;quot;. He announced that he was [[ex-homosexual]] in March 2021.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/activist-milo-yiannopoulos-is-now-ex-gay-consecrating-his-life-to-st-joseph&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life==&lt;br /&gt;
Yiannopoulos was brought up a Roman Catholic. He went to Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys in Canterbury, Kent, UK, but was expelled. He later studied at Manchester University and Wolfson College [[Cambridge University]] but left without getting a degree from either. &lt;br /&gt;
Yiannopoulos founded ''The Kernel'', an online tabloid magazine about technology, which he sold to Daily Dot Media in 2014. He rose to notability that year when he began to provide media coverage and commentary surrounding the [[GamerGate]] controversy. As a cultural libertarian and [[free speech]] fundamentalist, he is a vocal critic of fourth-wave [[feminism]], [[Islam]], political correctness, and other authoritarian movements and ideologies. He was permanently banned from [[Twitter]] in July 2016 for what the company cited as &amp;quot;inciting or engaging in the targeted abuse or harassment of others&amp;quot;. In reality, he harshly criticized the movie Ghostbusters (2016), particularly criticizing lead actress Leslie Jones, an [[African-American]] woman. This prompted some of Yiannopulous' followers to verbally attack Jones, and Twitter and the [[mainstream media]] blamed him for such harsh attacks. Yiannopoulos gained huge public notoriety after he was scheduled to speak at the [[University of California]]-Berkeley in January 2017 about the myth of cultural appropriation, but had the event shut down by violent rioters who claimed to be fighting Yiannopoulos' allegedly [[racist]]&amp;quot; views.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Resigns from Breitbart News==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a January 2016 interview on a &amp;quot;Drunken Peasants&amp;quot; podcast, Milo said there are “certainly people who are capable of giving consent at a younger age” and claimed that there are many “perfectly consensual” sexual relationships between 13-year-olds and 25- or 28-year-olds. (This is of course standard LGBT doctrine maintained by virtually all LGBT activists.) He admitted that he had been sexually abused by an older man, a RC priest, when he was aged 13–15. He admitted that such relationships were extremely common in the &amp;quot;gay community&amp;quot; and asserted that they were a source of love, support and sympathy for the young boys.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azC1nm85btY&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A year later during the US Presidential election, in which he was supporting Trump,, the media tracked down this interview and used it in a manipulative and wholly hypocritical way as a weapon against [[Breitbart News]], accusing them of employing someone who had defended child sex abuse (CSA). On February 21, 2017 he was forced to resign from Breitbart.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://barbwire.com/2017/02/26/prominent-homosexuals-yes-i-am-gay-because-of-child-abuse/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Yiannopoulos then lost a publishing deal but succeeded in publishing his book ''Dangerous'' elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;
In 2016 he was banned by the UK's Counter-Extremism Unit from returning to his old school and giving a talk there.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-38051488&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Mike Cernovich]], documentary filmmaker and author of [[Gorilla Mindset]], in defence of Yiannopoulos said that malevolent actors of the [[Deep State]] were  responsible for the claim that Yiannopoulos promoted child abuse as a means of cementing the loyalty of [[Generation Z]]. Yiannopoulos, he said, had become too much of a threat to these forces.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That night, [[Alex Jones]] on [[Infowars]] posted a video called, ''&amp;quot;Milo Is A Victim Of Sexual Abuse, Does Not Promote Pedophilia.&amp;quot;'' Jones went on at length detailing that Yiannopoulos’ thinking was taken out of context meaning explaining his molestation as a young teen and that [[Stockholm Syndrome]] might have turned him gay and made him sympathetic to sex between consenting adults in the form of mature men and teenagers, despite the age difference.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.rawstory.com/2017/02/milo-yiannopoulos-far-right-fans-think-spy-agencies-took-him-out-because-he-was-too-powerful/ Milo Yiannopoulos’ far-right fans think spy agencies took him out because he was too powerful]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jones went on to say that Yiannopoulos is the victim of a &amp;quot;witch hunt&amp;quot; by the [[mainstream media]] and Hollywood pedophiles as well as the &amp;quot;Republican party&amp;quot;, which is &amp;quot;trying to roll up the grassroots support of the nationalist and populist movement that is taken place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Links with Pedophilia==&lt;br /&gt;
Yiannopoulos's admission that he was molested as a boy provides another example of the classic pattern of CSA &amp;gt; homosexuality. The prevalence of this pattern proves that [[homosexuality]] is not innate, but caused by early experience, and also that it is inextricable from [[pedophilia]]. Yiannopoulos also said it is a &amp;quot;lie&amp;quot; that people are &amp;quot;born gay&amp;quot; and the &amp;quot;gay lobby has invented the gay gene&amp;quot;. He suggested orientation is a &amp;quot;mixture of nature and nurture&amp;quot; but nobody is born exclusively homosexual. He ended by offering a theory about homosexuality being nature's experimental zone, an absurd theory since it fails to breed.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://voice1nthecrowd.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/t-z-homosexuality-and-paedophilia-part.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In November 2017, Yiannopoulos sided with the religious Right by condemning the extreme permissive and pro-homosexual sex-education material being taught to young school children.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5056525/Milo-Yiannopoulos-slams-school-programme-gay-sex.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Religious Views==&lt;br /&gt;
In the same interview Yiannopoulos hinted that he believed in God. He said he had tried to change his sexuality and believed that the majority of homosexuals would secretly like to be &amp;quot;cured&amp;quot;. He said had tried to &amp;quot;pray the gay away&amp;quot; but it had not worked. The offence this gave to the LGBT militants probably explains a lot about why he has been pilloried.  Later, in 2021, he announced he was [[ex-gay]], much to the dismay of liberals and atheists.  It is unknown if this development relates to his religious views.&lt;br /&gt;

The New Zealand atheist Bob Brockie wrote: &amp;quot;Atheists are not united in one band in New Zealand. In fact they are not organised at all. If you want to get in touch with an atheist you will find like-minded souls in the New Zealand [[Secular humanism|humanist]] or rationalist societies, or the NZ [[Philosophical skepticism|Skeptics]].

&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[Western World]], atheists are generally apathetic, have weak leadership and engage in a significant amount of infighting (see: [[Atheism and apathy]] and [[Atheism and leadership]] and [[Atheist factions]]). Numerous atheists have declared that the &amp;quot;atheist movement is dead&amp;quot; or that it is dying (see: [[Decline of the atheist movement]]).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

According to ''Te Ara: The Encyclopedia of New Zealand'' (an online encyclopedia run by the New Zealand government): &amp;quot;New Zealand has never had an official religion, and the church and state have always been separate. However, churches had a strong influence on issues such as alcohol, censorship, gambling and education.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://teara.govt.nz/en/atheism-and-secularism Story: Atheism and secularism], ''Te Ara: The Encyclopedia of New Zealand''&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Due to the sub-replacement levels of births for the irreligious/nonreligious, countries with significant irreligious/nonreligious population often have higher levels of immigration than otherwise might be the case and many of the immigrants are religious (see: [[Atheism and fertility rates]] and [[Desecularization]]). The 2016 fertility rate of New Zealand was 1.87 births per woman.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.google.com/search?q=fertility+rate+new+zealand&amp;amp;ie=utf-8&amp;amp;oe=utf-8 Fertility rate of NZ]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; That is below the replacement level of 2.1 births per woman.&lt;br /&gt;

Large-scale Muslim immigration to New Zealand started in the 1970s with the arrival of Fiji Indians, which was followed in the 1990s by refugees from various war-torn countries. The number of Muslims in New Zealand according to the 2013 census is 46,149, up 28% from 36,072 in the 2006 census.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/life/73973867/kiwi-converts-among-new-zealands-muslim-community Kiwi converts among New Zealand's Muslim community&amp;quot;. stuff.co.nz.], www.stuff.co.nz (news website)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== Growth of evangelical Christianity in New Zealand ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In countries that are irreligious than most countries, it is common for evangelical Christianity to be experiencing growth and sometimes rapid/explosive growth (see: [[Growth of evangelical Christianity in irreligious regions]]). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to Stuart M. Lange, author of the book ''A Rising Tide: Evangelical Christianity in New Zealand 1930–65'', evangelical Christianity saw a resurgence in New Zealand in the 1950s/1960s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.otago.ac.nz/press/books/otago065674.html A Rising Tide: Evangelical Christianity in New Zealand 1930–65 by Stuart M. Lange]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to ''Christianity Today'', evangelical Christianity grew from approximately 13,800 followers in 2006 to 15,400 in 2013.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.christiantoday.com/article/christians.no.longer.a.majority.in.new.zealand/35053.htm Evangelical Christianity and New Zealand]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Christian organization Operation World indicates there are now 784,015 evangelical Christians in New Zealand (18.2 percent of the population) and that the evangelical population in New Zealand is growing at an annual rate of 0.5 percent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.operationworld.org/country/newz/owtext.html Operation World - New Zealand]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the New Zealand Christian Network:&lt;br /&gt;
{{Cquote|We are the NZ member of the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA) and are committed to representing evangelical faith positions. But we recognise also that the term ‘evangelical’ has different meanings in different countries and contexts, so we are very careful in its usage. NZ evangelicalism seeks to be faithful to scripture and is broad politically and socially.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Reliable figures suggest 14.5-15% of New Zealanders attend church weekly. 18-19% ‘regularly’. Approximately 500,000 of these Christians are evangelical.

{{Cquote|[ [[Jürgen Habermas]] ] ...argues that a new age, the age of [[Postsecularism|post-secularity]], has begun. Previously vastly secularized societies, like the highly developed countries of Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, would experience a new awareness of religion and attribute a new public role to religion. From now on, religion would constitute a relevant dialogue partner in the public debates of these societies (Habermas, 2008). Moreover, Habermas presents a normative argument about public religion: he recommends that post-secular societies should facilitate religious contributions to the public sphere. Religious reasoning could contribute to public debates about the ethical values of contemporaneous and future societies. Habermas believes that modern societies might find some answers to the moral questions of our time by listening to religion in public debates (Habermas, 2001, 2005, 2006, 2008). A similar position to that of Habermas is proposed by Leclerc (2001) and French sociologist Willaime (2004a, 2004b, 2005[1995]: 76-78, 2008). Willaime observes that even the highly secularized public and political sphere of France is exhibiting a new, more open attitude towards religion. The hypersecularity of France would stimulate a restructuration process of religion. According to Willaime, religion can form an important resource for public debates and be engaged in the identity construction process of individuals and collectives.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://edoc.unibas.ch/50856/3/20170119190142_5880ff06238b8.pdf How religious is the public sphere? – A critical stance on the debate about public religion and post-secularity], Draft Version, Jens Koehrsen (Köhrsen).

On the other hand, the secular West and East Asia has very low fertility and a rapidly aging population... In the coming decades, the developed world's demand for workers to pay its pensions and work in its service sector will soar alongside the booming supply of young people in the third world. Ergo, we can expect significant immigration to the secular West which will import religious revival on the back of ethnic change. In addition, those with religious beliefs tend to have higher birth rates than the secular population, with fundamentalists having far larger families. The epicentre of these trends will be in immigration gateway cities like New York (a third white), Amsterdam (half Dutch), Los Angeles (28% white), and London, 45% white British.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/eric-kaufmann/london-a-rising-island-of-religion_b_2336699.html London: A Rising Island of Religion in a Secular Sea] by Eric Kaufmann, ''Huffington Post'', 2012&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The article ''Developed countries may become more religious in 20 years'' indicates:&lt;br /&gt;
{{Cquote|Researchers from HSE University and RANEPA found that in high-income countries, age, rather than the cohort effect, has more impact on religiosity. They predict that this may have an impact on societal structure in the future. The study was published in ''Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It has long been observed that older people tend to be more religious than younger people. However, it is still disputable whether this fact should be attributed to people generally becoming more religious with age per se (age effect), or to the process of secularization, wherein earlier cohorts (to which the now older people belong) used to be more religious than those that appeared later, i.e. younger cohorts (cohort effect). HSE University scholars decided to analyze this issue using data from six waves of the World Values Survey (2016) in high-income OECD countries. A total of 16 countries were studied, including Australia, the USA, Canada, Great Britain, Israel, New Zealand, Japan, Germany, as well as other European countries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The researchers used logistic models and multiple linear regression to determine that the age effect has a higher impact on religiosity than the cohort effect. Older people are more inclined to believe in God, attend church, and believe it is important to instill religion in children.. The cohort effect impacts other factors analyzed by the scholars, such as church attendance and a belief in religion's importance in life, but the age effect still strongly prevails over the cohort effect...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The transition from religious to secular values may slow by 2040 in high-income OECD countries and, probably, there will be a resurgence of religiosity, the symptoms of which can be observed in Japan. On the other hand, widely divergent socio-cultural settings in different countries have an impact on religious behavior and attitude, and this must be taken into account in further research.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2019-09/nruh-dcm092519.php ''Developed countries may become more religious in 20 years''], Eureka Alert&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

=== Growth of evangelical Christianity in New Zealand ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In countries that are irreligious than most countries, it is common for evangelical Christianity to be experiencing growth and sometimes rapid/explosive growth (see: [[Growth of evangelical Christianity in irreligious regions]]). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to Stuart M. Lange, author of the book ''A Rising Tide: Evangelical Christianity in New Zealand 1930–65'', evangelical Christianity saw a resurgence in New Zealand in the 1950s/1960s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.otago.ac.nz/press/books/otago065674.html A Rising Tide: Evangelical Christianity in New Zealand 1930–65 by Stuart M. Lange]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to ''Christianity Today'', evangelical Christianity grew from approximately 13,800 followers in 2006 to 15,400 in 2013.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.christiantoday.com/article/christians.no.longer.a.majority.in.new.zealand/35053.htm Evangelical Christianity and New Zealand]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Christian organization Operation World indicates there are now 784,015 evangelical Christians in New Zealand (18.2 percent of the population) and that the evangelical population in New Zealand is growing at an annual rate of 0.5 percent.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.operationworld.org/country/newz/owtext.html Operation World - New Zealand]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{Cquote|[ [[Jürgen Habermas]] ] ...argues that a new age, the age of [[Postsecularism|post-secularity]], has begun. Previously vastly secularized societies, like the highly developed countries of Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, would experience a new awareness of religion and attribute a new public role to religion. From now on, religion would constitute a relevant dialogue partner in the public debates of these societies (Habermas, 2008). Moreover, Habermas presents a normative argument about public religion: he recommends that post-secular societies should facilitate religious contributions to the public sphere. Religious reasoning could contribute to public debates about the ethical values of contemporaneous and future societies. Habermas believes that modern societies might find some answers to the moral questions of our time by listening to religion in public debates (Habermas, 2001, 2005, 2006, 2008). A similar position to that of Habermas is proposed by Leclerc (2001) and French sociologist Willaime (2004a, 2004b, 2005[1995]: 76-78, 2008). Willaime observes that even the highly secularized public and political sphere of France is exhibiting a new, more open attitude towards religion. The hypersecularity of France would stimulate a restructuration process of religion. According to Willaime, religion can form an important resource for public debates and be engaged in the identity construction process of individuals and collectives.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://edoc.unibas.ch/50856/3/20170119190142_5880ff06238b8.pdf How religious is the public sphere? – A critical stance on the debate about public religion and post-secularity], Draft Version, Jens Koehrsen (Köhrsen).

[[Eric Kaufmann]] is a professor of politics at Birkbeck, University of London and author. His academic research specialty is how demographic changes affect religion/irreligion and politics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In April 2010, Kaufmann, who is an [[agnosticism|agnostic]], declared &amp;quot;the rate of secularisation has flattened to zero in most of [[Protestantism|Protestant]] [[Europe]] and [[France]].&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.mercatornet.com/articles/view/shall_the_religious_inherit_the_earth/ Shall the religious inherit the earth?] by Eric Kaufmann&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Kaufmann also declared that [[secularism]] &amp;quot;appears exhausted and lacking in confidence&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.sneps.net/RD/uploads/1-Shall%20the%20Religious%20Inherit%20the%20Earth.pdf Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth?: Demography and Politics in the Twenty-First Century by Eric Kaufmann, Belfer Center, Harvard University/Birkbeck College, University of London]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
On the other hand, the secular West and East Asia has very low fertility and a rapidly aging population... In the coming decades, the developed world's demand for workers to pay its pensions and work in its service sector will soar alongside the booming supply of young people in the third world. Ergo, we can expect significant immigration to the secular West which will import religious revival on the back of ethnic change. In addition, those with religious beliefs tend to have higher birth rates than the secular population, with fundamentalists having far larger families. The epicentre of these trends will be in immigration gateway cities like New York (a third white), Amsterdam (half Dutch), Los Angeles (28% white), and London, 45% white British.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/eric-kaufmann/london-a-rising-island-of-religion_b_2336699.html London: A Rising Island of Religion in a Secular Sea] by Eric Kaufmann, ''Huffington Post'', 2012&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The article ''Developed countries may become more religious in 20 years'' indicates:&lt;br /&gt;
{{Cquote|Researchers from HSE University and RANEPA found that in high-income countries, age, rather than the cohort effect, has more impact on religiosity. They predict that this may have an impact on societal structure in the future. The study was published in ''Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It has long been observed that older people tend to be more religious than younger people. However, it is still disputable whether this fact should be attributed to people generally becoming more religious with age per se (age effect), or to the process of secularization, wherein earlier cohorts (to which the now older people belong) used to be more religious than those that appeared later, i.e. younger cohorts (cohort effect). HSE University scholars decided to analyze this issue using data from six waves of the World Values Survey (2016) in high-income OECD countries. A total of 16 countries were studied, including Australia, the USA, Canada, Great Britain, Israel, New Zealand, Japan, Germany, as well as other European countries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The researchers used logistic models and multiple linear regression to determine that the age effect has a higher impact on religiosity than the cohort effect. Older people are more inclined to believe in God, attend church, and believe it is important to instill religion in children.. The cohort effect impacts other factors analyzed by the scholars, such as church attendance and a belief in religion's importance in life, but the age effect still strongly prevails over the cohort effect...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The transition from religious to secular values may slow by 2040 in high-income OECD countries and, probably, there will be a resurgence of religiosity, the symptoms of which can be observed in Japan. On the other hand, widely divergent socio-cultural settings in different countries have an impact on religious behavior and attitude, and this must be taken into account in further research.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2019-09/nruh-dcm092519.php ''Developed countries may become more religious in 20 years''], Eureka Alert&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;'''Benjamin Aaron &amp;quot;Ben&amp;quot; Shapiro''' is an American political commentator and the Editor Emeritus of ''[[The Daily Wire]]''. He is the host of one-man political commentary podcast and live radio show &amp;quot;The Ben Shapiro Show&amp;quot;. He was editor-at-large of [[right-wing]] news site [[Breitbart News]] from 2012-2016&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://web.archive.org/web/20190321112046/https://www.dailywire.com/tags/ben-shapiro&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Shapiro is an [[orthodox Jew]], a self-described [[libertarian]] and a [[mainstream conservative]], and is often criticized by true conservatives, who accuse him of being a [[neocon]] and a member of [[Conservative Inc.]] He is the author of 12 books,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://rightsmarts.com/ben-shapiro-books/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the first being 'Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America's Youth' (2004) and the latest being 'The Authoritarian Moment: How the Left Weaponized America's Institutions Against Dissent' (2021). In his most recent book, Shapiro discussed the far-left and socialistic tendencies of [[World Economic Forum|WEF]] globalist [[Klaus Schwab]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;''The Authoritarian Moment'' by Ben Shapiro ISBN 9780063001824&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life==&lt;br /&gt;
Ben Shapiro was born in 1984 in Burbank, California, to two Reagan Republicans&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://townhall.com/author/benshapiro&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. At the age of 12, in 1996, Shapiro played &amp;quot;Schindler's List&amp;quot; on the violin at the Israeli Bonds Banquet hosted by Larry King.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK8mbA083hE&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; At age 17, he became the youngest nationally syndicated columnist in the United States.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://townhall.com/author/benshapiro&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Harassment on ''Dr. Drew On Call''==&lt;br /&gt;
On July 16, 2015, Ben Shapiro was one of several members of a panel on a show called ''Dr. Drew On Call'' along with [[transgender]] activist Robert &amp;quot;Zoey&amp;quot; Tur and entertainment journalist Segun Oduolowu. When host Drew Pinsky asked the three panelists of their opinions on [[Bruce Jenner]]'s achievements and pushing of the transgender agenda, Ben Shapiro pointed out that even though Jenner was a self-declared female, he still has the genetic and biological makeup of a male. While Oduolowu shied away from that part of the discussion after seeking to turn the discussion into a [[Race baiting|race issue]], after Shapiro accidentally called Tur &amp;quot;sir&amp;quot;, he aggressively grabbed Shapiro's neck, stating &amp;quot;You'll cut that out now, or you'll go home in an ambulance&amp;quot;. Shapiro retorted &amp;quot;Yeah, that seems...mildly inappropriate for a political discussion&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DE_WOCHITk&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. The hosts of the show repeatedly blasted and interrupted Shapiro for mentioning facts while barely discouraging violent behavior from Tur. Afterward, Tur threatened Shapiro saying &amp;quot;see you in the parking lot&amp;quot;. Tur doubled down on that threat audibly fantasizing about violently &amp;quot;curb-stomping&amp;quot; Shapiro&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2015/07/22/transgender-reporter-zoey-tur-triples-down-on-threats-against-ben-shapiro/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Tur confirmed his [[anti-Jewish]] [[hatred]] saying &amp;quot;[Ben Shapiro] comes from a very misogynistic cult anyway, where women are treated differently, they’re not allowed to touch men.&amp;quot; in an interview with KFI AM 640's  Bill Carroll.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On July 19, 2015, Ben Shapiro filed an investigative report on Tur to the [[Los Angeles]] Police Department on charges of [[battery]] for grabbing him without his consent&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.scribd.com/doc/272008029/Shapiro-Police-Report&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. According to some discussion forums, the LAPD dismissed the charges because Tur is a member of a &amp;quot;victimized minority&amp;quot;, making [[threats]] of physical violence and unwanted touching okay for them to do.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://law.stackexchange.com/questions/2116/did-zoey-tur-assault-ben-shapiro&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://sportshoop.la/threads/no-assault-battery-charges-for-he-she-zoey-tur.202593/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Far-left]] journalists [[Robin Abcarian]] and John Amato celebrated the crimes committed by Tur&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.latimes.com/local/abcarian/la-me-ra-transgender-zoey-tur-20150724-column.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://crooksandliars.com/2015/07/why-ben-shapiro-twerp-inciting-zoey-tur&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Criticism from Mark Dice==&lt;br /&gt;
Ben Shapiro has faced criticism from many on the Right, who regard him as a member of the Conservative [[Establishment]], also known as [[Conservative Inc.]], namely, conservative [[YouTube]]r and author [[Mark Dice]], who published a video in May of 2021 stating that Shapiro is undeserving of support from conservatives, titled &amp;quot;Ben Shapiro Caught on Hot Mic - Reveals Who He Really Is When He Thinks No One is Listening&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuKgtEtla2c&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. He opens the video stating that &amp;quot;Most mainstream conservatives have gone soft&amp;quot;, and shows Shapiro's off-camera hesitancy to criticize the [[Homosexual Agenda]], displayed during a livestream with his subscribers, when he thought the broadcast was over. In the video, Shapiro displays concern over being &amp;quot;boycotted&amp;quot; and losing sponsors, asking a producer to cut out a clip where he calls pansexuality &amp;quot;weird&amp;quot;. Dice then states that Shapiro is &amp;quot;in the club&amp;quot;, pointing to the fact that he has never had to worry about being censored, banned, or de-platformed from social media, the way many others have. &lt;br /&gt;
Dice goes on to poke fun at Shapiro's college-age fanbase and ridicule his cowardice during a debate with BBC's Andrew Neil, saying &amp;quot;Conservative Inc's greatest debater runs away from his first real debate&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
After, Dice points out that despite Shapiro's claims of being a libertarian who supports limited government, he tweeted that he thinks the federal government should coerce people into getting the [[COVID-19 vaccine]], ignoring [[individual liberty]]. &lt;br /&gt;
Dice makes a point of Shapiro's fervent opposition to [[President Trump]] in 2016, only tepidly supporting him during the [[2020 election]]. Dice says that Shapiro's supposed Trump support was extremely doubtable, considering how hard he was actively working against him initially, and calls his political analysis &amp;quot;permanently flawed&amp;quot;. He then went on to detail Shapiro's smearing of other conservatives along with Trump, calling [[Ron Paul]] &amp;quot;anti-semitic&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;manifestly insane&amp;quot; during the Republican Primaries in 2012. Shapiro would later double down on these claims, calling Trump, Paul, and others, including [[Ann Coulter]], [[Patrick Buchanan|Pat Buchanan]], and [[Alex Jones]], &amp;quot;[[Alt-Right]]-friendly&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
Dice accuses Shapiro of being bankrolled by billionaires, and calls attention to his secret dinner meetings with [[Facebook]] CEO [[Mark Zuckerberg]], as well as his defense from [[YouTube]] CEO [[Susan Wojcicki]].&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, Dice ends with Shapiro's support for homosexual &amp;quot;marriage&amp;quot; and adoption.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Andrew Neil Interview==&lt;br /&gt;
In 2019, Shapiro published the book &amp;quot;The Right Side of History: How Reason and Moral Purpose Made the West Great&amp;quot;, which focuses on the importance of Judeo-Christian values and laments the decline of those values in modern America. In a May 2019 interview on BBC where Shapiro was promoting his book, interviewer Andrew Neil suggested that Shapiro's history of remarks were inconsistent with the message of the book. Shapiro took offense to the questioning, accused Neil (a prominent British conservative journalist) of having a left-leaning bias, said Neil was trying to make a &amp;quot;quick buck... off of the fact that I'm popular and no one has ever heard of you&amp;quot;, before ending the interview. Shapiro later admitted that he had been &amp;quot;destroyed&amp;quot; by Neil, commenting on Twitter that he &amp;quot;[had broken his] own rule, and wasn't properly prepared&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

While Oduolowu shied away from that part of the discussion after seeking to turn the discussion into a [[Race baiting|race issue]], after Shapiro accidentally called Tur &amp;quot;sir&amp;quot;, he aggressively grabbed Shapiro's neck, stating &amp;quot;You'll cut that out now, or you'll go home in an ambulance&amp;quot;. Shapiro retorted &amp;quot;Yeah, that seems...mildly inappropriate for a political discussion&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DE_WOCHITk&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. The hosts of the show repeatedly blasted and interrupted Shapiro for mentioning facts while barely discouraging violent behavior from Tur. Afterward, Tur threatened Shapiro saying &amp;quot;see you in the parking lot&amp;quot;. Tur doubled down on that threat audibly fantasizing about violently &amp;quot;curb-stomping&amp;quot; Shapiro&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2015/07/22/transgender-reporter-zoey-tur-triples-down-on-threats-against-ben-shapiro/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Tur confirmed his [[anti-Jewish]] [[hatred]] saying &amp;quot;[Ben Shapiro] comes from a very misogynistic cult anyway, where women are treated differently, they’re not allowed to touch men.&amp;quot; in an interview with KFI AM 640's  Bill Carroll.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On July 19, 2015, Ben Shapiro filed an investigative report on Tur to the [[Los Angeles]] Police Department on charges of [[battery]] for grabbing him without his consent&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.scribd.com/doc/272008029/Shapiro-Police-Report&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. According to some discussion forums, the LAPD dismissed the charges because Tur is a member of a &amp;quot;victimized minority&amp;quot;, making [[threats]] of physical violence and unwanted touching okay for them to do.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://law.stackexchange.com/questions/2116/did-zoey-tur-assault-ben-shapiro&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://sportshoop.la/threads/no-assault-battery-charges-for-he-she-zoey-tur.202593/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Far-left]] journalists [[Robin Abcarian]] and John Amato celebrated the crimes committed by Tur&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.latimes.com/local/abcarian/la-me-ra-transgender-zoey-tur-20150724-column.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://crooksandliars.com/2015/07/why-ben-shapiro-twerp-inciting-zoey-tur&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Criticism from Mark Dice==&lt;br /&gt;
Ben Shapiro has faced criticism from many on the Right, who regard him as a member of the Conservative [[Establishment]], also known as [[Conservative Inc.]], namely, conservative [[YouTube]]r and author [[Mark Dice]], who published a video in May of 2021 stating that Shapiro is undeserving of support from conservatives, titled &amp;quot;Ben Shapiro Caught on Hot Mic - Reveals Who He Really Is When He Thinks No One is Listening&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuKgtEtla2c&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. He opens the video stating that &amp;quot;Most mainstream conservatives have gone soft&amp;quot;, and shows Shapiro's off-camera hesitancy to criticize the [[Homosexual Agenda]], displayed during a livestream with his subscribers, when he thought the broadcast was over. In the video, Shapiro displays concern over being &amp;quot;boycotted&amp;quot; and losing sponsors, asking a producer to cut out a clip where he calls pansexuality &amp;quot;weird&amp;quot;. Dice then states that Shapiro is &amp;quot;in the club&amp;quot;, pointing to the fact that he has never had to worry about being censored, banned, or de-platformed from social media, the way many others have. &lt;br /&gt;
Dice goes on to poke fun at Shapiro's college-age fanbase and ridicule his cowardice during a debate with BBC's Andrew Neil, saying &amp;quot;Conservative Inc's greatest debater runs away from his first real debate&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
After, Dice points out that despite Shapiro's claims of being a libertarian who supports limited government, he tweeted that he thinks the federal government should coerce people into getting the [[COVID-19 vaccine]], ignoring [[individual liberty]]. &lt;br /&gt;
Dice makes a point of Shapiro's fervent opposition to [[President Trump]] in 2016, only tepidly supporting him during the [[2020 election]]. Dice says that Shapiro's supposed Trump support was extremely doubtable, considering how hard he was actively working against him initially, and calls his political analysis &amp;quot;permanently flawed&amp;quot;. He then went on to detail Shapiro's smearing of other conservatives along with Trump, calling [[Ron Paul]] &amp;quot;anti-semitic&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;manifestly insane&amp;quot; during the Republican Primaries in 2012. Shapiro would later double down on these claims, calling Trump, Paul, and others, including [[Ann Coulter]], [[Patrick Buchanan|Pat Buchanan]], and [[Alex Jones]], &amp;quot;[[Alt-Right]]-friendly&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
Dice accuses Shapiro of being bankrolled by billionaires, and calls attention to his secret dinner meetings with [[Facebook]] CEO [[Mark Zuckerberg]], as well as his defense from [[YouTube]] CEO [[Susan Wojcicki]].&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, Dice ends with Shapiro's support for homosexual &amp;quot;marriage&amp;quot; and adoption.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Andrew Neil Interview==&lt;br /&gt;
In 2019, Shapiro published the book The Right Side of History: How Reason and Moral Purpose Made the West Great, which focuses on the importance of Judeo-Christian values and laments the decline of those values in modern America. In a May 2019 interview on BBC where Shapiro was promoting his book, interviewer Andrew Neil suggested that Shapiro's history of remarks were inconsistent with the message of the book. Shapiro took offense to the questioning, accused Neil (a prominent British conservative journalist) of having a left-leaning bias, said Neil was trying to make a &amp;quot;quick buck... off of the fact that I'm popular and no one has ever heard of you&amp;quot;, before Shapiro ended the interview. Shapiro later admitted that he had been &amp;quot;destroyed&amp;quot; by Neil, commenting on Twitter that he &amp;quot;[had broken his] own rule, and wasn't properly prepared&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

In April 2020 Chinese business websites showed Hunter Biden’s name removed from the BHR board of directors, however the sites also show Skaneateles LLC, owned solely by Hunter Biden, as still being a “sponsor/shareholder” with 3 million yuan ($464,000) invested in the company, comprising a 10% stake in the China-based business venture. The business records for Skaneateles found on the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs website list Hunter Biden as the “executing officer” of the company, and the address for the LLC is a multimillion-dollar home in Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.is/hVgaU&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; That is where the ''Washington Examiner'' previously reported Hunter Biden and his wife, Melissa Cohen, had been renting a $12,000-a-month home.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/hunter-biden-renting-12-000-per-month-hollywood-home-while-defying-child-support-suit&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

One of the companies in BHR’s portfolio as of August 30, 2021, Joe Biden's target date for the withdrawal from Afghanistan, is Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL),&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://tracxn.com/d/private-equity/bhr/AqYaQZwpCM9_bWngRtAEWb3D0qIHitqyE0ObxZ649Ig&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the “world’s largest maker of electric vehicle batteries.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.is/wzhmr&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
China dominates the world’s production of lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles and most portable consumer electronic devices such as cell phones and laptops.  China accounts for 80 percent of the world’s total output of raw materials for advanced batteries.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.voanews.com/silicon-valley-technology/how-china-dominates-global-battery-supply-chain&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  If Joe Biden were to implement his “clean energy” plans, the United States would become dependent on China to produce the batteries that power America’s technologies.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.americanenergyalliance.org/2020/09/bidens-green-dream-made-in-china/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  CATL is the largest manufacturer of electric vehicle batteries with a 27.9 percent market share.  Since Biden's green agenda came to the fore in November 2020, and the August 31, 2021 Fall of Kabul, CATL's stock price tripled.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa189b059-c867-4a68-a7f8-d6e04dd23558_712x514.jpeg&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  On August 28, 2021 ''[[Forbes]]'' magazine reported, &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;the mineral resources under the ground in Afghanistan could be worth almost 10 times the country’s infamous [[opium]] crop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These minerals include [[lithium]], gold, silver, platinum, iron, copper aluminum and uranium. Among those lithium stands out as a real prize because it has become essential to the manufacture of the lithium ion batteries used in electric vehicles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Better still for China, if it gets its way, is that Afghanistan is set to be the Saudi Arabia of Afghanistan. In other words, the central Asian country is reputedly home to heaps of lithium. As the largest car market in the world, and the global move to EVs [electric vehicles], China will likely want to secure every last pound of lithium that it can.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.is/wip/y95my&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
According to the Chinese state media ''Global Times'', on June 28, 2021 a deal between CATL and [[Tesla Motors]] was announced;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202106/1227312.shtml#:~:text=China%20is%20the%20largest%20manufacturer,%2C%20BMW%2C%20Volkswagen%20and%20Geely.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  four days later the [[AP]] reported that the US abandoned Bagram airfield at on the middle of the night without telling the new Afghan armed forces commander.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://apnews.com/article/bagram-afghanistan-airfield-us-troops-f3614828364f567593251aaaa167e623&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before the dust even settled over Afghanistan, [[CNBC]] reported China was already in talks with the Taliban to exploit Afghanistan's rare earth metals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/17/taliban-in-afghanistan-china-may-exploit-rare-earth-metals-analyst-says.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The [[Biden family]] is set to personally benefit from China gaining access to Afghanistan’s rare earth elements.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On top of an overall failure regarding Afghanistan exit, a Nov/2021 revealed that almost none of the 82,000 people airlifted from Kabul to the US in August/2021 were vetted.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Roddy Keenan writing in ''The Saker'' observed, &amp;quot;‘Scratch a [[liberal]] and a [[fascist]] bleeds’, I was once told many years ago.&amp;quot;  Keenan continued, &amp;quot;One only has to look at the manner in which the [[Azov Battalion]], a fully-fledged Ukrainian Nazi militia, with significant influence, has been whitewashed in the space of ten weeks. Whereas prior to February 24th 2022, they were recognized as a [[neo-Nazi]] battalion, these fascists are now being portrayed as valiant defenders of an oppressed people, fighting bravely against insurmountable odds.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

Among its other first acts was to politicize the nation's military, instituting a witch hunt to drive conservatives out of officer and enlisted ranks,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.revolver.news/2020/10/biden-loving-general-is-deploying-military-grade-information-warfare-against-trump-supporters/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and renewing the Obama era weaponization of the intelligence apparatus against American citizens.  Democrats unleashed a contingent of criminal [[sociopath]]s on law abiding Americans to affect change.  &lt;br /&gt;

The junta took power under the watchful eye of [[National Guard]]smen while the American people were excluded.  The next day in the dead of winter, Democrats kicked the Guardsmen out of the [[U.S. Capitol]] building and the soldiers were ordered to sleep in an unheated parking garage,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/01/21/national-guard-forced-to-evacuate-capitol-grounds-after-alleged-mask-complaint-by-democrat-congressman/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; without [[internet]] reception, with just one electrical outlet, and one bathroom having only two stalls for 5,000 troops.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/21/national-guard-troops-vacate-capitol-461220&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Under the [[Geneva Convention]], prisoners-of-war are mandated to be taken care of better than how the Biden regime treated U.S. military units as the junta assumed power their first night.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/01/22/nolte-geneva-conventions-forbid-forcing-soldiers-to-sleep-in-parking-garage/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Meanwhile the junta spent $86 million to house illegal immigrants in hotels.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://dailycaller.com/2021/03/22/jen-psaki-national-guard-parking-garage-illegal-immigrants-hotel-rooms/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Over the protestations of majority Black D.C. citizens, the occupation forces remained in place for months.

Biden also embraces many far-Left thoughts like the abortion issue, immigration policies and his refusal to denounce terrorist [[Antifa]] and [[Black Lives Matter]] acts, which makes it impossible for him to unite the division.

====Inflation (BidiInflation)====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beginning in Biden's first 100 days, [[inflation]] began creeping up.  A federal judge found Biden's farm debt relief program racist and unconstitutional.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/06/unconstitutional-federal-judge-suspends-bidens-racist-anti-white-farmer-debt-relief-program/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Per October (1-19), 2021 poll, Biden support has dropped sharply among independent voters. The non-improvement, Gallup attributes to recent setbacks such as the infrastructure bill debate and issues such as inflation and worker shortages.&amp;lt;ref name=nypost22oct2021&amp;gt;Patrick Reilly, &amp;quot;[https://nypost.com/2021/10/22/biden-support-has-dropped-sharply-among-independent-voters-poll-finds/ Biden support has dropped sharply among independent voters, poll finds]&amp;quot;, &lt;br /&gt;
NYPost, October 22, 2021.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The data, taken from Oct. 1-19, suggests no improvement in public support, which Gallup attributes to recent setbacks such as the infrastructure bill debate and issues such as inflation and worker shortages....&lt;br /&gt;
Gallup said the 11-point decline is larger than any prior president registered between his first and third quarters. Next closest are President Barack Obama at 10 points and Bill Clinton at seven points.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The spike in inflation was especially hard towards 2021 [[Thanksgiving]] day, most Americans affected, polled, blamed Biden.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Mark Moore, &amp;quot;[https://nypost.com/2021/11/24/over-75-of-us-hit-by-inflation-and-most-blame-joe-biden-poll/ More than 75% of US hit by inflation and most blame Biden, poll shows],&amp;quot; NYPost, Nov 24, 2021&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Biden called more inflation &amp;quot;a great [[asset]]&amp;quot; and a reporter questioning its impact on the 2022 midterm elections a &amp;quot;stupid son-of-b****.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2022/01/24/remarks-by-president-biden-before-meeting-with-the-white-house-competition-council/ Remarks by President Biden Before Meeting with the White House Competition Council], [[WH]], Jan 24, 2022.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though Biden administration officials, in 2021, called high inflation “transitory.” But Biden on at least one occasion acknowledged the possible impact of generous social spending.&lt;br /&gt;
By Feb 2022, Biden, reluctantly admitted: &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;S Nelson, [https://nypost.com/2022/02/04/joe-biden-admits-americans-are-being-clobbered-by-inflation/amp/ Joe Biden admits that Americans are being 'clobbered' by inflation], Feb 4, 2022.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &amp;quot;Americans are being 'clobbered' by inflation.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

In March 2022, Biden blamed ‘Putin’s price hike’ for February Inflation...&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Charlie Spiering, [https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/03/10/joe-biden-falsely-blames-putins-price-hike-for-february-inflation/ Joe Biden Falsely Blames ‘Putin’s Price Hike’ for February Inflation], &lt;br /&gt;
''Breitbart'', 03/10/2022.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
President Joe Biden on Thursday reacted to the latest report showing soaring inflation numbers for February by blaming Russian President Vladimir Putin.&lt;br /&gt;
“[T]oday’s inflation report is a reminder that Americans’ budgets are being stretched by price increases and families are starting to feel the impacts of Putin’s price hike,” the White House said in a statement sent to reporters in Biden’s name.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

On inflation: 'How long do you guys think temporary is?'&lt;br /&gt;
Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy cornered Press Secretary Jen Psaki on both her claims that inflation was likely to be temporary and the Biden administration’s repeated insistence that the rising cost of gas could be tied solely to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Doocy pointed to Psaki’s claim, made a short time earlier in Thursday’s White House press briefing, that economists were predicting that inflation would begin to resolve by the end of the year — and he noted that the Biden administration had been claiming that inflation would be “transitory” or “temporary” since spring of 2021, only to reach record levels at the end of the year.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Consumer prices continue to soar on everyday necessities such as gas and food.&lt;br /&gt;

Americans overwhelmingly support the White House's proposed ban on Russian oil, though they remain very critical of President Joe Biden's handling of the economy, in general, and inflation, in particular, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll.&lt;br /&gt;
Over the past several months, Americans' wallets have been hit by skyrocketing inflation, and now, Biden is feeling that crunch in his approval numbers. Seventy percent of Americans disapprove of his handling of inflation.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On Apr 14, 2022, Biden had the audacity, with a straight face, conveniently, pinning it all on Ukraine war. Claiming:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;BIDEN: &amp;quot;What people don't know is that 70% of the increase in inflation was the consequence of Putin's Price Hike.&amp;quot; &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) [https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/1514685811593302017 April 14, 2022]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;quot;What people don't know is that 70% of the increase in inflation was the consequence of Putin's Price Hike.&amp;quot; &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In June 2022, Biden admitted:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Trevor Hunnicutt, [https://www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-warns-us-inflation-could-last-for-while-2022-06-11/ Biden warns U.S. inflation could last 'for a while'], ''Reuters'', June 11, 2022.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;We’re gonna live with this inflation for a while.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In June 2022, Biden blamed it all, conveniently, on Russia. &amp;quot;The reason why gas prices are up, is because of Russia—Russia, Russia, Russia. The reason why the food crisis exists, is because of Russia, Russia...&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;BIDEN: &amp;quot;The reason why gas prices are up, is because of Russia—Russia, Russia, Russia.

[[Sinopec]] is a Chinese natural gas and mineral oil company and is the biggest company in [[China]]. Sinopec Marketing Company enjoyed nearly $1 billion in investment from Hunter Biden’s private equity firm [[BHR Partners]].  Finalized in March 2015, the investments from the BHR Partners led to BHR amassing a nearly 30 percent stake in Sinopec.  BHR Partner’s [[LinkedIn]] profile highlights its Sinopec investment, revealing it was involved “in the pilot state-owned enterprise reform deal involving the segregation and capitalization of Sinopec Group’s non-oil business into Sinopec Marketing Corporation.” As of October 2021, Hunter Biden reportedly still owned a 10 percent stake in BHR Partners.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thenationalpulse.com/exclusive/biden-linked-energy-firm-hits-record-level-production/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After the Biden regime canceled the Keystone XL destroying America's energy independence, by October 2021 when the global energy crisis hit, Sinopec reported record-breaking output figures.  A company press release stated: &amp;quot;Fuling Shale Gas Field – the first commercially developed and operated large-scale shale gas field in China – announced on October 8 that it has produced 40 billion cubic meters of shale gas, setting a new record for the cumulative production of shale gas in the country.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/sinopec-fuling-shale-gas-field-sets-new-cumulative-production-record-of-40-billion-cubic-meters-301396524.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  In addition to killing off the domestic oil industry and enriching Russia and Saudi Arabia by doing so, Biden pledged to increase gas taxes by $90 billion.&lt;br /&gt;

Biden’s job approval rating has been underwater since August/2021. Per Dec 2021 report, weeks before the start of a midterm election year. The three main issues are: pandemic, economic recovery and crime.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Hunter Schwarz, &amp;quot;[https://www.deseret.com/2021/12/19/22833043/bidens-job-approval-is-falling-covid-19-pandemic-crime-rate Biden’s job approval is falling because of these 3 issues],&amp;quot; Deseret, Dec 19, 2021.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Americans aren’t as optimistic as they used to be about Biden’s handling of the pandemic, economic recovery and crime, according to new polling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Weeks before the start of a midterm election year, President Joe Biden finds his approval falling across several top issues, a new poll found.&lt;br /&gt;
Biden’s job approval rating has been underwater since August, and an ABC News-Ipsos poll released Sunday showed public opinion is down when it comes to his handling of the pandemic, economic recovery and crime.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In Jan 2022, Biden disapproval hits new high as voters give him bad grades on economy.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; Thomas Franck, [https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/04/biden-disapproval-rating-high-voters-blame-him-on-economy-cnbc-poll.html Biden disapproval hits new high as voters give him bad grades on economy, new CNBC/Change poll says], CNBC, Jan 4, 2022.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
KEY POINTS&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
President Joe Biden's overall disapproval rating reached a new high in December as more voters signaled their unhappiness with his handling of the economy and the Covid pandemic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Results from a CNBC/Change Research poll show 60% of respondents said they disapprove of Biden's handling of the economy as he nears the conclusion of his first year in office.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A 55% majority of survey respondents also signaled disapproval of his leadership during the pandemic, an area in which he previously excelled.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the 'early' casualties of Biden's low approval rating, was, for example in Detroit district.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;David M.

Bleau, [https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/02/12/poll-independent-voters-give-donald-trump-7-point-edge-over-joe-biden/amp Poll: Independent Voters Give Donald Trump 7-Point Edge over Joe Biden], ''Breitbart'', Feb 12, 2022.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Independent voters give former President Donald Trump an edge in a hypothetical 2024 head-to-head matchup against President Joe Biden.&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The CNN on March 31, 2022 argued that it's about the economy,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Chris Cillizza, [https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/31/politics/biden-polling-inflation-russia-ukraine/index.html Here's *exactly* why Joe Biden's poll numbers aren't getting better], ''CNN'', March 31, 2022.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;the economy is front and center. And Biden's approval on the economy is, well, dismal.&lt;br /&gt;
Just 1 in 3 Americans (34%) approved of how Biden was handling the economy in the Quinnipiac poll, with 58% disapproving. (That same poll had Biden roughly even -- 44% approve, 45% disapprove -- in terms of how he is handling the conflict in Ukraine.)&lt;br /&gt;
The math is simple then. Americans care far more about inflationary costs in their own lives than they do about Russia's invasion of Ukraine. And on that issue, they don't think Biden is doing a very good job.&lt;br /&gt;
The news doesn't look likely to improve for Biden -- at least in the near term.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and that &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;the news doesn't look likely to improve for Biden -- at least in the near term.&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Indeed, Axios&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Alayna Treene, author of Axios Sneak Peek, [https://www.axios.com/democrats-midterm-anxiety-spikes-brutal-nbc-news-poll-fcc7df22-de06-4e03-880b-50e8d21a69a3.html Dems air anxieties after Biden's brutal NBC poll], ''Axios'', 31 March 2022.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Why it matters: Moderate and progressive Democrats, particularly in the House, are fearful of an electoral tsunami this November. They tell Axios they're unsure whether the party can repair the damage in time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;People are extremely discouraged, there's no doubt,&amp;quot; said Rep. Annie Kuster (D-N.H.), a moderate and leading member of the New Democrat Coalition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kuster was among the NDC members who met with President Biden on Wednesday and urged the administration to take action on supply chain and inflation issues, gas prices and a budget reconciliation bill. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rep. Susan Wild (D-Pa.), a swing-district member, told Axios's Andrew Solender the poll gives credence to her distancing herself from Biden: &amp;quot;It’s always a concern when the president's numbers are bad and you're in the same party.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;In my district, and I think in most frontline districts, you win your campaign because people know you know what work you've done, … and they also know that I don't always vote in line with the party.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; reported that &amp;quot;Dems air anxieties after Biden's brutal NBC poll.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It led to: NBC panel fretting over polls as liberal media begins to move on from Biden: 'This is a problem'.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://video.foxnews.com/v/6304438339001/ NBC panel frets over polls as liberal media begins to move on from Biden: ‘This is a problem], Fox News video. Apr 19, 2022.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gallup explains in Apr 2022:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Jeffrey M. Jones, [https://news.gallup.com/poll/391733/biden-job-approval-down-among-younger-generations.aspx Biden Job Approval Down Most Among Younger Generations], ''Gallup'', Apr 14, 2022.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
During the honeymoon phase of Biden's presidency, spanning January 2021 through June of that year, an average of 56% of Americans approved of how he was handling his job as president.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first obvious decline in Biden's approval occurred in July and August 2021, when 49% of Americans, on average, approved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By September, Biden's approval rating had fallen further to the low 40% range; it has stayed there since, averaging 42%.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; 'Biden job approval down most among younger Generations.'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
April 2022 polls spelled trouble for Biden with [[Hispanic]] voters.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Rafael Bernal, Brett Samuels, [https://thehill.com/news/campaign/3270204-polls-spell-trouble-for-biden-with-hispanic-voters/ Polls spell trouble for Biden with Hispanic voters], ''The Hill'', 04/16/22.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
President Biden has been mired in a stretch of disappointing polls, but recent surveys suggest he’s having particular trouble keeping the support of Hispanic voters.&lt;br /&gt;
A Quinnipiac University poll published this week found that just 26 percent of Hispanic voters surveyed approved of Biden’s job performance, the lowest mark of any demographic group.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In May 2022, Amid Flagging Poll Numbers, Biden Tells Dems It’s Us vs. Them&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Susan Milligan, [https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2022-05-10/amid-flagging-poll-numbers-biden-tells-dems-its-us-vs-them?context=amp Amid Flagging Poll Numbers, Biden Tells Dems It’s Us vs. Them], US News, May 10, 2022  &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; 490 days into the occupation, Biden registered the lowest approval rating since records started being kept in 1945, according to liberal pollster Nate Silver,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/liberal-pollster-says-biden-has-lowest-approval-rating-of-any-president-since-records-were-kept-going-back-to-1945/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; exceeding such despised office holders as Jimmy Carter, [[Lyndon Johnson]], and [[Richard Nixon]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Americans stated clearly (June 2022), gas prices, economy will dictate midterm election votes. And Biden fails miserably. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nypost.com/2022/06/05/inflation-gas-prices-economy-will-dictate-midterms-poll/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
June 8, 2022, approval Biden’s job performance slipped to just 33%.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nypost.com/2022/06/09/biden-approval-at-22-among-young-adults-24-among-hispanics-poll&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Sinking to 22% among young adults, 24% among Hispanics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vilifying half of Americans===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Biden, in his Jan 2022 speech, uttered angry gaslighting calling half of America 'racist' - for defending voting verification, ID. In addition, the White House, later on, still tripled down defending this.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Spencer Brown, [https://townhall.com/tipsheet/spencerbrown/2022/01/18/psaki-12pm-n2601995 Psaki Triples Down Defending Biden's Angry Gaslighting Calling Half of America 'Racist'], ''Townhall'', Jan 18, 2022.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The White House apparently didn't have enough foresight to realize that a presidential address last week in which Biden attacked roughly half the country for being on the side of historical racists wouldn't play well. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shocker: comparing more than half the United States Senate to Jefferson Davis is not a recipe for unity. Despite days of stinging criticism for the speech that was labeled a &amp;quot;break point&amp;quot; for the Biden administration by Peggy Noonan, the White House is maintaining Biden's divisive rant was totally normal...&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rising crime===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Biden is rated poorly on handling crime.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/biden-rated-poorly-handling-crime-alternative-approaches-win/story?id=78609540 Biden is rated poorly on handling crime], ABC News, Jul 2, 2021&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only &amp;quot;good news,&amp;quot; state commentators:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.heritage.org/homeland-security/commentary/bidens-hypocritical-efforts-stem-the-wave-violent-crime-fall-far-short Biden’s Hypocritical Efforts to Stem the Wave of Violent Crime Fall Far Short | The Heritage Foundation], Heritage Foundation, June 25, 2021&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;There's good news, and there’s bad news.&lt;br /&gt;
The good news (which really is also bad news) is that the Biden administration has finally been forced to acknowledge and admit that the surge in violent crime—especially the surge in homicides in many cities—is a problem.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yet, &amp;quot;it's COVID-19 and guns,&amp;quot; not President Joe Biden's policies, that are causing widespread looting and soaring crime rates, insisted&lt;br /&gt;
Biden's spokesperson in Dec 2021.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Naomi Lim, [https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/white-house-blames-pandemic-and-guns-for-increased-crime White House blames pandemic and guns for increased crime], Washington Examiner, Dec 2, 2021.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It's COVID-19 and guns, not President Joe Biden's policies, that are causing widespread looting and soaring crime rates, the White House insisted Thursday.&lt;br /&gt;
Biden believes the crime increase is correlated to the frustration and economic hardship caused by COVID-19, according to White House press secretary Jen Psaki. She also attributed the new data to gun prevalence.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, another Joe Biden calamity  never seen before: trains have been robbed and raided wholesale in Los Angeles. Commentator asked: &amp;quot;Where's Pete Buttigieg? Where's Joe Biden?

The [[Biden regime]] provided fresh impetus to the War on Cops with [[Kamala Harris]] leading the raising money for bail for violent looters and insurrectionists.  The number of policemen and women killed in 2021 exceeded the number of police deaths for every year since 1995.  Biden and the Democrats’ efforts to [[defund the police]] and label the police perpetrators led to widespread murders of police across the [[United States]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Mark Moore, [https://nypost.com/2022/02/06/bidens-first-year-in-office-saw-73-police-officers-killed-most-deaths-since-1995/ Biden’s first year in office saw 73 police officers killed — most deaths since 1995], ''NY Post'', Feb 6, 2022&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seventy-three officers were intentionally killed in the line of duty during Biden's first year after the seizure of power — a nearly 59 percent increase over 2020, when 46 cops were murdered.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Audrey Conklin, &amp;quot;[https://www.foxnews.com/us/more-cops-killed-under-biden More cops killed under Biden than previous years: 'We're going to continue to speak up']&amp;quot;, ''Fox News'', February  6, 2022.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Per &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;The National Fraternal Order of Police&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; (FOP), as in the beginning of April 2022, 101 police officers shot in line of duty, a 43% increase from 2021.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Audrey Conklin, &amp;quot;[https://www.foxnews.com/us/police-officers-shot-2022 101 police officers shot in line of duty, a 43% increase from 2021: National Fraternal Order of Police]&amp;quot;, ''Fox News'', April 2nd, 2022.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In June 2022, Biden showed his softness on anti police lefty terorism. Such as the May 2020 attack by Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman - Molotov cocktails throwers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/06/the-biden-justice-departments-shameful-pandering-to-bomb-throwing-rioters/ The Biden Justice Department’s Shameful Pandering to Bomb-Throwing Rioters], NRO, June 7, 2022.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Biden administration has just added to this shameful spectacle by retroactively reducing the plea-bargained sentence in one of the most high-profile of those crimes, in which two white-shoe lawyers in Brooklyn threw a Molotov cocktail into a police car.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman were well-compensated attorneys in their early thirties when they joined the protesting mob in May 2020. Rahman was caught on tape throwing the firebomb into an unoccupied police car, and Mattis was arrested with more such improvised explosives in his car and was videotaped trying to hand them out to others. These are gravely serious crimes, more so than those committed by all but a tiny handful (at most) of the people charged in connection with January 6. An unapologetic Rahman told reporters later, “The only way they hear us is through violence.”&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Reducing their decades sentence to just less than two years.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/how-the-left-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-domestic-terrorism/ How the Left Learned To Stop Worrying and Love Domestic Terrorism], ''Washington Free Beacon'', June 7, 2022.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
On the cusp of nonstop, around-the-clock (primetime!) coverage of the Jan. 6 committee hearings, a couple of domestic terrorists are actually getting their day in court, and it is informative to see how Merrick Garland’s Justice Department is handling their prosecution.&lt;br /&gt;
Recall Garland’s breathless declaration, during his confirmation hearings, that “150 years after the Department’s founding, battling extremist attacks on our democratic institutions also remains central to its mission.”&lt;br /&gt;
Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman were arrested in the “mostly peaceful” protests following George Floyd’s murder. The two lawyers handed out Molotov cocktails to the crowd, and Rahman tossed one into a police car before fleeing the scene in Mattis’s van. They reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors in October 2020 that wiped out six of the seven charges against them. Those prosecutors, nonetheless, sought a maximum 10-year sentence and argued that the incident qualified for a so-called terrorism enhancement that would turbocharge sentencing—a determination with which the U.S. Probation Office concurred.&lt;br /&gt;
Ginning herself up to distribute explosives to the crowd, Rahman gave a video interview in which she declared, “This shit won’t ever stop until we fuckin’ take it all down,” adding that “the only way [the police] hear us is through violence.”&lt;br /&gt;
Then, Garland and the U.S. attorney for New York’s Eastern District, Breon Peace, who’s handling the prosecution, took office, and you won’t believe what happened next!&lt;br /&gt;
In mid-May, the same career DOJ prosecutors who argued for that 10-year sentence were back in court withdrawing their plea deal and entering a new one that allowed the defendants to cop to the lesser charge of conspiracy. It tosses out the terrorism enhancement entirely.&lt;br /&gt;
The new charge carries a five-year maximum sentence, but the prosecutors are urging the judge to go below that, asking for just 18 to 24 months on account of the “history and personal characteristics of the defendants” and the “aberrational nature of the defendants’ conduct.”…&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Racist travel ban====	&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Xenophobia}}	&lt;br /&gt;
Biden banned people from [[Africa]] entering the United States because they were Black and alleged to carry mysterious foreign diseases.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regime chief propagandist [[Jen Psaki]] refused to answer questions about Biden's racist travel ban on Africans travelling from Black African countries.  When Simon Ateba, a black African reporter with ''Today News Africa'', attempted to question Psaki about the racist motivations behind the travel ban on black Africans, Psaki ignored Ateba in favor of a sympathetic white liberal reporter.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.mediaite.com/news/psaki-repeatedly-shuts-down-today-news-africa-reporter-for-shouting-questions-about-omicron-at-briefing/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Ateba was persistent, and wanted to know why with no cases of the Omicron coronavirus variant in [[Zimbabwe]], [[Namibia]], [[Lesotho]], and [[Mozambique]], what justified the travel ban on countries with zero cases of the variant.  Ateba asked, “What would you say to those who believe that this is a racist ban, that it is only on African and black African nations?”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thepoliticalinsider.com/african-reporter-confronts-jen-psaki-on-bidens-racist-covid-travel-ban/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Psaki couldn't answer the question and scolded Ateba about decorum, telling him to learn his place by watching his white counterparts.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://therightscoop.com/african-reporter-that-psaki-scolded-about-decorum-says-biden-is-disrespecting-africa-which-is-mostly-brown-black/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  According to ''Fox News'', Ateba said,&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Ateba Psaki.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Psaki made rude and disparaging comments toward Simon Ateba of ''Today Africa News''.]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;The travel ban was built on a lie.  The president on November 26 [2021] banned 8 African countries. Only 2 of those countries had any case of the omicron variant.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ateba, a native of [[Cameroon]] according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, went on to question the supposed [[science]] behind Biden’s ban, pointing to Namibia, a small country on the continent’s Atlantic coast.  The nation of 2.5 million people registered only 400 cases of COVID-19 since the virus’ inception, he said, but yet Biden essentially punished them anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There’s total chaos: People can’t travel to Namibia, Zimbabwe [or] Mozambique, yet they have zero cases. So I don’t believe I was the one being disrespectful. I think Africa was disrespected, by banning countries based on a lie,” he said, referencing claims by Psaki he was being disrespectful of his fellow White House reporters.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://rumble.com/vq7lll-african-journalist-biden-is-disrespecting-africa-with-a-travel-ban-based-on.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Ateba was retaliated against by being dropped from Stripe, an online payment program, and the news organization may now have to shut down.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/7t_wzGSx_Hg&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Racist Biden advisors====&lt;br /&gt;
''Politico'' reported, &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Some of [Kamal] Harris’s advisers believed the president’s almost [[white privilege|entirely white]] inner circle did not show the vice president the respect she deserved,” Martin and Burns write. “Harris worried that Biden’s staff looked down on her; she fixated on real and perceived snubs in ways the West Wing found tedious.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At one point, Harris dispatched [incoming chief of staff Tina] Flournoy to talk to top Biden adviser [[Anita Dunn|ANITA DUNN]] to convey displeasure that White House staff was not standing up for Harris when she entered the room the way they did for Biden. “The vice president took it as a sign of disrespect,” according to the excerpt.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.politico.com/newsletters/west-wing-playbook/2022/03/22/when-anna-wintour-pissed-off-kamala-00019368&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

Weeks after the seizure of power, chief procurator Merrick Garland and Biden lifted President Trump's ban on harassment of political opponents and executed a [[warrant]] on former New York [[Mayor Rudy Giuliani]] to seize electronic devices with names and cell phone number's of all Giuliani's contacts.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.politico.com/newsletters/playbook-pm/2021/04/28/giuliani-pad-raided-by-feds-492636&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Giuliani led the challenges to [[Democrat election fraud]] after the [[2020 presidential election]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2021/04/28/feds-raid-rudy-giuliani-apartment-seize-electronic-devices-its-the-corrupt-doj-fara951-angle-all-over-again/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Additionally, Giuliani had in his possession damning evidence related to the [[Biden family corruption]] scandals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/hunter-biden-s-legal-work-romania-raises-new-questions-about-n1071031&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The seizure of Giuliani's electronic devices with cell phone numbers and email contacts opened the door for further [[Foreign_Intelligence_Surveillance_Act#702_queries_.28Title_VII.29|FISA 702 abuse]].  Two weeks before the seizure it was discovered Mary McCord (DOJ), who succeeded John Carlin as head of the [[DOJ-NSD]] during the corrupt Obama administration and submitted the [[fraud]]ulent [[Carter Page]] FISA warrant to the FISA Court, was hired by FISA Court chief judge James Boasberg as ''[[Amicus Curiae]]''.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2021/04/28/its-official-the-fisa-court-is-compromised-presiding-judge-james-boasberg-hires-former-doj-nsd-head-mary-mccord-as-amici-curiae-to-advise-the-court/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.is/OBsBU&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two days prior to the seizure of Giuliani's electronic devices, it was reported that the [[FISA Court]] determined Obama era [[FISA abuse]] was ongoing.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2021/04/26/declassified-fisa-court-opinion-for-2020-shows-even-more-warrantless-fbi-abuses-of-nsa-database-including-search-queries-for-government-officials-and-victims/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  [[Edward Snowden]] described in detail how Obama FISA abuse worked to illegally surveil political opponents, elected officials, and judges for [[blackmail]] purposes and to interfere in elections.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.foxnews.com/media/edward-snowden-obama-surveillance-worse&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The home of [[Victoria Toensing]] was also raided.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/breaking-feds-execute-search-warrant-at-rudy-giulianis-apartment-developing/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Toensing, the wife of former D.C.

====Misuse of FBI to target journalists and political opponents====&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Ashley Biden diary.JPG|right|300px|thumb|Ashley Biden left her diary behind in a drug rehabilitation center alleging &amp;quot;inappropriate&amp;quot; showers with with her father as a child;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nationalfile.com/full-release-ashley-biden-diary-reveals-child-sex-trauma-drug-abuse-resentment-for-joe-whistleblower/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the FBI verified the authenticity of the diary when it seized it from journalists.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nationalfile.com/bombshell-new-york-times-fbi-confirm-legitimacy-of-ashley-biden-diary/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
In November 2021 the FBI raided the founder of [[Project Veritas]], [[James O'Keefe]]'s home looking for First Daughter Ashley Biden's diary. In the diary Ashley Biden ruminates about taking inappropriate showers with her father and becoming sexualized as a small child.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.md/MBMyD&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Project Veritas itself was never able to verify the authenticity of the diary, did not publish it, and turned it over to local law enforcement.  The FBI seized Project Veritas' donor list and all telephone contacts in an attempt to intimidate donors and whistleblowers with illegal [[FISA 702]] surveillance and abuse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In June 2021 it was reported the Biden [[NSA]] was spying on Fox News host [[Tucker Carlson]] and his communications team.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-nsas-inspector-general-opens&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=====War on Parents=====&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|War on parents|}}&lt;br /&gt;
There are 13 federal statutes the Biden regime domestic terrorism task force uses to intimidate and silence parents from speaking out at local school board meetings to protest Marxist indoctrination, critical race theory, gender indoctrination, mask mandates, and the rape of their children and subsequent cover-up.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nypost.com/2021/10/13/dad-arrested-at-school-board-meeting-rips-ag-merrick-garland/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  These statutes include mail threats, cyberstalking, anonymous telecommunications harassment, repeated phone calls, repeated harassing communication, false information and hoaxes, depriving a person of their civil rights and other statutes related to interstate extortion, injury to property, person, or reputation, kidnapping, and interference with a federally protected activity.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.ktvh.com/news/helena-news/u-s-acting-attorney-for-montana-sends-letters-of-statues-to-state-law-enforcement&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====DOJ/White House/NSBA collusion=====&lt;br /&gt;
Parents Defending Education, an advocacy organization, obtained emails through the [[Freedom of Information Act]] showing that National School Board Association (NSBA) and officials were in contact with [[White House]] staffers before the NSBA sent a letter to [[Biden]] requesting that federal [[law enforcement]] officials address unruly behavior, including threats, directed toward public education officials.  One email explains that White House staffers “requested additional information on some of the specific threats.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://dailycaller.com/2021/10/21/nsba-biden-white-house-letter-domestic-terrorists/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Garland told the House Judiciary Committee under oath that the NSBA’s letter was the pretext for his instructions to [[Department of Justice-National Security Division]], US Attorney's, and [[FBI]] five days later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The NSBA retracted its letter two weeks later, however Garland refused to retract his instructions to federal prosecutors and investigators.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====Loudoun County transgender rape case=====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Scott Smith]], a parent, was at a [[Loudoun County, Virginia]] school board meeting on June 22, 2021 because his daughter had been [[rape]]d by a [[transgender]] boy in the girls’ bathroom on May 28, 2021 at Stone Bridge High School.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.foxnews.com/politics/loudoun-county-father-school-cover-up-bathroom-assault-daughter&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The school told Smith his daughter had been assaulted but didn't call police.  Smith reported the assault to the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) and rape kit evidence collected.  Prior to the June 22 meeting,  When Smith showed up at the school to complain about what had happened, they accused him of lying and called the police.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/10/12/loudoun-county-virginia-school-board-covered-up-student-rape-and-had-father-of-victim-arrested-to-keep-him-quiet-national-school-board-association-then-labeled-the-father-a-domestic-terrorist&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Loudon-County-1.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Parrent arrested at Loudoun County, Virginia school board meeting after his daughter was raped in a [[public school]] transgender bathroom.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Moments before Smith’s arrest Superintendent Scott Ziegler of the county’s schools “said the school hadn’t had any incidents involving a transgender student in bathrooms and declared that ‘the predator transgender student or person simply does not exist.'” &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nypost.com/2021/10/13/parents-demand-superintendent-be-fired-for-alleged-sex-assault-cover-up/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  An [[Antifa]] activist at the meeting claimed his daughter was lying.  When an argument ensued, police grabbed his arm. When he pulled his arm away, he was assaulted and thrown to the ground, handcuffed, and removed from the room.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://uncoverdc.com/2021/10/14/family-of-young-rape-victim-files-lawsuit-against-loudoun-county-schools/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  A damning email proved the board had been informed of the rape on the day the rape occurred.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailywire.com/news/loudoun-school-board-was-informed-of-alleged-sexual-assault-the-day-it-happened-report&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And while the [[far-left]] prosecutor’s office, which would eventually try to throw the book at Smith over his arrest at the school board meeting, insisted they were taking the rape case seriously, the same boy was transferred to another school in the district. On October 6, 2021, the same boy was alleged to have committed another rape.  A sheriff's office press  release stated, &amp;quot;A teenager from Ashburn has been charged with sexual battery and abduction of a fellow student at Broad Run High School.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10083783/Loudoun-County-father-arrested-school-meeting-says-daughter-raped-boy-girls-bathroom.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The National School Board Association (NSBA) sent a letter to Joe Biden complaining about parents speaking out at school board meetings.  The letter specifically cited the June 22, 2021 Loudoun County, Virginia incident as an example.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nsba.org/-/media/NSBA/File/nsba-letter-to-president-biden-concerning-threats-to-public-schools-and-school-board-members-92921.pdf&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The NSBA letter states that parents’ protests and speeches at school board meetings “could be equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism.”   Biden handed the letter to Garland.  Garland issued a memo directing the FBI and numerous other federal and state agencies to take “measures designed to address the rise in criminal conduct directed toward school personnel,” a clear example of the politicization of the [[Department of Justice]]. A liberal advocacy group sent the Office of the President a letter; Merrick Garland dutifully turned that letter into DOJ policy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Smith’s case was used in [[Merrick Garland]]'s October 2021 memo warning of “domestic terrorism” at school board meetings.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://redstate.com/bonchie/2021/10/11/horror-in-loudoun-county-implicates-local-and-federal-officials-n455371&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The memo's intent is to intimidate parents to not speak out at school board meetings against [[critical race theory]].&lt;br /&gt;

Polls show 77% of voters support election integrity laws like [[voter ID]], which Biden labeled &amp;quot;Jim Crow in the 21st century.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/polling/poll-over-three-quarters-voters-believe-americans-should-have-show-id-cast&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Biden instructed all elements of the U.S. government and private sector to defend him against sunlight.  The Biden regime prepared to initiate hostile actions against the American electorate to protect the fraudulent results of the 2020 election.  The U.S. Department of Justice was activated along with the Federal Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Intelligence Community and elements of the U.S. Department of Defense.  In addition, the Democrat National Committee,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.politico.com/news/2021/07/12/biden-covid-vaccination-campaign-499278&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the [[Lawfare group|Lawfare alliance]], activist groups, the U.S. media and Big Tech social media platform control agents were enlisted.  Big Tech oligarchs, aligned with the interests of the Chinese Communist Party, also provided hundreds-of-millions in defense of their own interests which are tied directly to the Biden junta.  D.C. politicians under the control of [[multinational corporation]]s were instructed to push the “domestic extremist” narrative.  Any organized and articulate sources outside the mainstream fake news media the regime considers subversive.  Approximately 100 million American voters are considered dissidents.&lt;br /&gt;

In January 2022 regime chief propagandist Jen Psaki was asked by Fox News' Peter Doocy:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Breaking911 @Breaking911 Tweeted ([https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/1486143274045911043 Jan 25, 2022])&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DOOCY: &amp;quot;Why is it that large numbers of single adult men are being released into the United States just hours after being apprehended at the southern border?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PSAKI: &amp;quot;Well, I'm not sure the specifics of what you're referring to, Peter.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Don’t ask questions, just give them their citizenship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of them were not interpreters, had no visas, and no basis for entering the country. Despite that, they were rapidly brought here with virtually no vetting, dropped off at military bases, and then put through the resettlement process across the United States.&lt;br /&gt;
There’s no one problem.&lt;br /&gt;
At last count around 36,000 Afghans or 40% of the “refugees” had no legal basis for being evacuated even after the Biden administration and its congressional allies, both Democrat and Republican, watered down standards for applying for SIV visas so much so that virtually any Afghan employed in any capacity by any contractors, charities, or even the media qualified.&lt;br /&gt;
The vast majority of Afghans in the evacuation were not visa recipients, but the evacuees got past Taliban checkpoints even while Americans and visa holders were being turned back.&lt;br /&gt;
Many of them have no paperwork and no legitimate basis for even claiming political asylum.&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Clinton-Tweet-300x406.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Hillary Clinton and Biden [[National Security Advisor]] Jake Sullivan peddled deliberately false national security information.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Under the junta, the most important national security issue is the protection of transgenderism in the [[military]]. This was affirmed in presidential Executive Order No.14004 signed five days after the seizure of power.  The White House’s 2021 “Interim National Security Strategic Guidance,”  instead of offering guidance on Russian, Iranian and Chinese aggression, the document was laden with PC nonsense.  In its 24 pages, the ‘Guidance’ mentions climate change more than a dozen times, as well as racial justice and LGBTQI+ rights.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/mar/30/bidens-woke-military/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 29, 2021, four days after Biden’s transgender executive order, defense minister [[Lloyd Austin]] followed with a military-wide order that all restrictions on transgenderism would be lifted pending a review of the issue which radical leftists consider crucial to America’s national security.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://dailycaller.com/2021/02/15/barr-the-strange-priorities-of-bidens-department-of-defense/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Biden signed an Executive Order on January 25, 2021 mandating taxpayers to pay for gender reassignment surgery for active military personnel and veterans, with some treatments costing upward of $200,000.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/military-transgender-surgery-free&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Biden budget increased defense spending only 1.6%.  Adjusted for inflation, it’s a cut.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.thefiscaltimes.com/2021/05/28/Bidens-First-Budget-Numbers-You-Need-Know&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Meantime CCP state media called for increases in the PRC nuclear weapons.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thepoliticalinsider.com/china-state-media-warns-of-intense-showdown-with-america-advocates-more-nuclear-weapons/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Pentagon analysts project the CCP military to match and overtake the U.S. military in strength in 5 to 10 years.  Pentagon spending was rotated out for other domestic vote-buying schemes, such as the Green New Deal disguised as infrastructure, and supposed slave reparations including people of mixed race and immigrants who not need to prove they are descendants of American slaves (ADOS).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under Lloyd Austin, the Pentagon canceled a $10-billion ‘JEDI’ cloud-computing contract with [[Microsoft]] in July 2021 and handed it back to tech giant [[Amazon]], which had sued after [[President Trump]] took it away from Amazon in 2019.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.zerohedge.com/political/pentagon-cancels-10-billion-jedi-cloud-deal-awarded-microsoft&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Weeks earlier, [[Speaker Nancy Pelosi]]'s husband, who handles the families finances, bought $1 million in Amazon call options.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.zerohedge.com/political/pelosis-husband-bought-amazon-stock-pentagon-jedi-shakeup-sent-shares-soaring&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the modern Pentagon's lesser priorities after transgenderism and critical race theory is its report that the possibility of nuclear weapons being used in regional or global conflicts is growing.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://mailchi.mp/fas/secrecy-news-070621?e=2849dbef1b&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====The Great Purge====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another of Austin's first actions was to order a 60 day nationwide stand down across all service branches to root out Trump voters, euphemistically referred to as &amp;quot;extremists&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-new-domestic-war-on-terror-is&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The junta attempted to identify military personnel who exercised their [[First Amendment]] right to peacefully assemble on January 6, 2020.  In a Pentagon briefing with reporters, Ramón &amp;quot;CZ&amp;quot; Colón-López, the senior enlisted adviser to the chairman of the [[Joint Chiefs of Staff]], said that some troops have asked, when the January 6, 2021 riot is brought up, &amp;quot;How come you're not looking at the situation that was going on in [[Seattle]] prior to that?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;This is coming from every echelon that we're talking to,&amp;quot; he added.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.military.com/daily-news/2021/03/19/some-troops-see-capitol-riot-blm-protests-similar-threats-top-enlisted-leader-says.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In May 2021, the DOD press secretary was asked about plans to monitor the social media accounts of active military members: &amp;quot;part of that insider threat program is to take a look at social media activity out there so that we're – that we can be as informed as possible.... If there is – again, the insider threat, right, is, you know, when there’s a concern about the potential of a threat coming from inside, you know, one of the things you want to do is take a look at the social media footprint and see what’s out there in the public space.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.defense.gov/Newsroom/Transcripts/Transcript/Article/2622606/pentagon-press-secretary-conducts-on-camera-press-briefing/source/GovDelivery/ Pentagon Press Secretary Conducts On-Camera Press Briefing], MAY 18, 2021, Pentagon Press Secretary John F.

130 retired generals and admirals demanded the resignations of Mark Milley and Llyod Austin “based on negligence in performing their duties primarily involving events surrounding the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan....The consequences of this disaster are enormous and will reverberate for decades beginning with the safety of Americans and Afghans who are unable to move safely to evacuation points; therefore, being de facto hostages of the Taliban at this time. The death and torture of Afghans has already begun....The loss of billions of dollars in advanced military equipment and supplies falling into the hands of our enemies is catastrophic. The damage to the reputation of the United States is indescribable. We are now seen....as an unreliable partner in any multinational agreement or operation. Trust in the United States is irreparably damaged....our adversaries are emboldened to move against America...China benefits the most followed by Russia, Pakistan, Iran, North Korea and others. Terrorists around the world are emboldened and able to pass freely into our country through our open border with Mexico....there are leadership, training, and morale reasons for resignations...it has become clear that top leaders in our military are placing mandatory emphasis on PC “wokeness” related training which is extremely divisive and harmful to unit cohesion, readiness, and war fighting capability.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailywire.com/news/130-retired-generals-admirals-demand-resignations-from-milley-austin-over-afghanistan-disaster&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Marine Battalion Commander, Lt. Col. [[Stuart Scheller]], was relieved of command for criticizing Austin and Milley's decision to close Bagram AFB in Afghanistan before evacuating American civilians and soldiers.  Lt. Col Scheller made a public Facebook post criticizing the decisions that led to the deaths of 13 U.S. Marines and 170 other non-combatants.  “Did any of you throw your rank on the table and say, ‘Hey, it’s a bad idea to evacuate Bagram Airfield, a strategic airbase, before we evacuate everyone’? Did anyone do that? And when you didn’t think to do that, did anyone raise their hand and say, ‘We completely messed this up’?”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/08/27/marine-battalion-commander-lt-col-stuart-scheller-relieved-of-duty-for-criticizing-pentagon-decision-on-bagram-afb/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Scheller stated,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/TOrjiUnsaiw&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; “Because it appears to me that no general officers are willing to hold each other accountable, I am submitting charges against Gen. McKenzie for his bad assumptions – not because I’m vindictive, but because the senior leaders need to be held accountable to the same standard as us.”  Scheller vowed to file the charges through his chain of command and directly to “the former Raytheon board director, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.”  He also said he would file a complaint with the Department of Defense Inspector General’s Office.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://taskandpurpose.com/pentagon-run-down/marine-corps-stuart-scheller-charge-general-afghanistan/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  For demanding accountability of the regime, Scheller was sent to the brig without being charged.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.militarytimes.com/news/2021/09/28/marine-lieutenant-colonel-who-demanded-accountability-in-brig-not-charged/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Members of Congress demanded his immediate release.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://taskandpurpose.com/news/marine-lt-col-scheller-brig-gohmert/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Scheller was the only person disciplined following the Afghan debacle.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thepoliticalinsider.com/marine-who-criticized-militarys-afghanistan-withdrawal-has-reportedly-been-jailed/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Marxist appeals to fight fascism were ineffective.  Appeals to Mother Russia and patriotism however rallied the Russian people to defend their homeland.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The teaching of military history was replaced with training on police brutality, ‘[[systemic racism]]’ and ‘[[white privilege]]’.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Future officers at the U.S. Army‘s military academy at [[West Point]] are being taught several leftist courses that are part of Marxist indoctrination.  Three classes in particular at the academy are being taught with what critics say is the goal of social engineering and politicization of the 4,294 cadets: “Social Inequality,” “Military Leadership: Leading Inclusive Teams” and “Politics of Race Gender and Sexuality and Diversity.” West Point also offers a seminar on diversity and inclusion that features images of Black Lives Matter protesters.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/aug/11/west-point-teaching-marxism/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{quotebox-float|The question for the American people is, ''Are we willing to go to war with Russia on behalf of Ukraine?'' We need to understand that such a war would come at a cost beyond anything that we can really imagine. This is something that will directly impact every single one of your viewers and all of our loved ones. This is a war that is not a game.  It's a war in which there are no winners.  Russia has thousands of nuclear weapons aimed towards us that could hit any town or city in America in less than 30 minutes and exact a cost upon every one of us that would result in excruciating death and suffering beyond comprehension.  Hundreds of millions of people dying and suffering, seeing their flesh being burned from their bones.  This is something you know you can't really even imagine.  And it's a cost that we will all pay.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why in the world would we ever contemplate going to war with Russia?  Honestly, it is one that we should not do for those very reasons.  If you look at the impacts of what a [[nuclear war]] brings it, really brings about the end of the world as we know it.  And our leaders should understand this consequence and take it seriously.  And this is why President Biden, instead of continuing to escalate tensions and continuing this new Cold War between the United States and Russia, he needs to de-escalate these tensions and actually focus on bringing an end to this new Cold War because if he doesn't, then it's not a question of if we go to war with Russia if this war ends up with a nuclear holocaust, it really is then just a question of when.  And if we continue down this path that we are on it's something that could happen a lot sooner than any of us think.}}&lt;br /&gt;

In late December 2021 [[Jake Sullivan]] said a four-week window was left to prevent such an invasion and that if it were to happen the sanctions against Russia &amp;quot;would be overwhelming, immediate and inflict significant cost on the Russian economy and their financial system.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/19/politics/joe-biden-russia-ukraine-obama-2014/index.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Germany had called upon the US not to impose sanctions, insisting that doing so will &amp;quot;damage transatlantic unity&amp;quot;, ''Axios'' reported,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.axios.com/germany-nord-stream-sanctions-congress-ukraine-4d28940b-dc3b-4b19-9d16-c122da6d113c.html Scoop: Germany urges Congress not to sanction Putin’s pipeline], Zachary Basu, ''Axios'', Nov 28, 2021.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; citing newly obtained German documents dated November 19, 2021 and marked as &amp;quot;classified&amp;quot;:&lt;br /&gt;

The ongoing reality was a massive buildup and activity of [[NATO]] forces inside Ukraine, which Putin had warned about crossing Russia's red line days before Haines panicked statements.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/putin-accuses-nato-of-ignoring-russian-warnings-about-red-lines&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  [[CIA]] leaker [[David Ignatius]] told the ''Washington Post'' that the US was supporting an anti-Russian military insurgency in Ukraine.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/12/19/biden-ukraine-insurgents-russia/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Germany refused flyover permission for arms deliveries to Ukraine.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova reported that ten thousand NATO soldiers, including four thousand Americans, were already stationed and active in Ukraine. Drones and Stingers have been provided and used in eastern Ukraine.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://tass.com/world/1376191&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  In light of all the threatening activity on its border, on December 17, 2021 President Putin presented two treaties to be signed, one with the US&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/rso/nato/1790818/?lang=en&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the other with NATO,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/rso/nato/1790803/?lang=en&amp;amp;clear_cache=Y&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the essence of which is that [[the West]] pledges not to threaten Russia's borders by offering membership to Ukraine or by arming and basing missiles in Ukraine.  Putin stated, &amp;quot;You are on our doorstep. We cannot back down.&amp;quot;   Putin promised a response if the NATO powers do not stop their offensive actions. NATO General Secretary [[Jens Stoltenberg]] rejected them out of hand.  Russia's deputy foreign minister Alexander Grushko said on December 18, 2021 that NATO has been living in a fantasy world and that Europeans must think about whether they mean to turn their continent into a field of military confrontation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Former U.S. ambassador to Russia Jack Matlock wrote in ''Krasno Analysis'' on December 14, 2021 that interference by the U.S. and its NATO allies in Ukraine's civil struggle has exacerbated the crisis within NATO and raised the specter a possible conflict between the nuclear powers.  Russia is extremely sensitive about foreign military activity adjacent to its borders, as any other country would be, and as the United States has always been.  Russia has signaled repeatedly that it will stop at nothing to prevent NATO membership for Ukraine.  Ukraine's friends in Europe and America should help them understand, rather than Ukraine is pursuing what could easily turn out to be a suicidal course.  He concluded, &amp;quot;back in October 1962 it was the U.S. southern border that was being approached closely by [[Soviet]] soldiers and missiles in [[Cuba]] which threatened the devastating first strike.  Today it is the relentless march of NATO, closer and closer to Russia's borders.  60 years ago [[President John F. Kennedy]] said. &amp;quot;within the past week unmistakable evidence has established the fact that a series of offensive missile sites is now in preparation on that imprisoned island,&amp;quot; and he said that &amp;quot;this is in an area well known to have a special and historical relationship to the U.S. and is a deliberately provocative and unjustified change in the status quo which cannot be accepted by this country.&amp;quot;  President Kennedy demanded that the Soviet Union remove and never again try to place nuclear-capable missiles and aircraft virtually on the U.S. border and in an area with a special and historical relationship to the U.S.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://ccisf.org/ambassador-jack-matlock-ukraine-tragedy-of-a-nation-divided/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
President Putin's agreement proposed to Biden on December 7, 2021 was that the United States ensure that Ukraine would not join NATO and thereby have U.S. and NATO forces and missiles of various types placed right on Russia's border and in an area with a special and historical relationship to Russia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a month of CIA/MSM warmongering hysteria, in late January 2022 President Zelensky of Ukraine told Biden to tone down the rhetoric.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10452249/Ukrainian-President-Volodymyr-Zelensky-told-Biden-tone-messaging-invasion.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  French Premier [[Emmanuel Macron]] said after meeting with Putin in February 2022, &amp;quot;The geopolitical objective of Russia today is clearly not Ukraine, but to clarify the rules of cohabitation with NATO and the EU.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://news.sky.com/story/ukraine-russia-tensions-frances-macron-flies-to-moscow-to-meet-putin-in-high-risk-diplomatic-mission-12535079&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Since the day that Donald Trump became president, Democrats in Washington have told you it's your patriotic duty to hate Vladimir Putin. It's not a suggestion. It's a mandate. Anything less than hatred for Putin is treason. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many Americans have obeyed this directive. They now dutifully hate Vladimir Putin. Maybe you're one of them. Hating Putin has become the central purpose of America's [[foreign policy]]. It's the main thing that we talk about. Entire cable channels are now devoted to it. Very soon, that hatred of Vladimir Putin could bring the United States into a conflict in [[Eastern Europe]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before that happens, it might be worth asking yourself, since it is getting pretty serious: What is this really about? Why do I hate Putin so much? Has Putin ever called me a [[racist]]? Has he threatened to get me fired for disagreeing with him? Has he shipped every [[middle-class]] job in my town to Russia? Did he manufacture a [[CCP pandemic|worldwide pandemic]] that wrecked my business and kept me indoors for two years? Is he teaching my children to embrace [[Critical race theory|racial discrimination]]? Is he making [[fentanyl]]? Is he trying to snuff out [[Christianity]]? Does he [[Atheists and dog meat eating|eat dogs]]? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These are fair questions, and the answer to all of them is no. Vladimir Putin didn't do any of that. So why does permanent Washington hate him so much? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you've been watching the news, you know that Putin is having a border dispute with a nation called Ukraine. Now, the main thing to know about Ukraine for our purposes is that its leaders once sent millions of dollars to [[Biden family corruption|Joe Biden's family]]. Not surprisingly, Ukraine is now one of Biden's favorite countries. Biden has pledged to defend Ukraine's borders even as he [[Biden border crisis|opens our borders]] to the world. That's how it works. Invading America is called [[equity]]. Invading Ukraine is a war crime. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So with every day, we move closer to some kind of conflict with Russia, a conflict that could easily spin out of control given that the people running us have no fine motor skills, the administration assures us this has nothing at all to do with ripping Joe Biden's personal debts to Ukrainian [[oligarch]]s. Not at all. It's completely and totally unrelated. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The point here is to defend democracy, not that Ukraine is a [[democracy]]. It is not a democracy. Ukraine's president has arrested his main political opponent. He has shut down newspapers and television stations that have dared to criticize him. So in American terms, you would call Ukraine a [[tyranny]]. But Joe Biden likes Ukraine. So Putin bad, [[war]] good. How will this conflict affect you? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Will affect you quite a bit, actually. Energy prices in the United States are about to go way up, and that means that everything you buy will become much more expensive, from the food you eat to the car you drive to the tickets you need to take your family on vacation this summer, assuming you can still afford a vacation by then. You're about to become measurably poorer. That's not a guess. Joe Biden has admitted this. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other hand, you're going to win an important moral victory against dastardly old Vladimir Putin, who is much, much worse than [[Justin Trudeau]]. Just so you know. So you can feel good about that because…because…let's see, come to think of it, why would you feel good about that? It seems like a pretty terrible deal for you and for the United States. [[Hunter Biden]] gets a million dollars a year from Ukraine, but you can no longer afford to go out to dinner. That's not a bargain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So what are we missing here? What we're missing is the big picture, and that's why Joe Biden has dispatched [[Kamala Harris]] to explain that picture to us. Kamala Harris’ old job was to open America's border. She did that. Her new job is to keep Ukraine's borders closed.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-hate-putin-americans-suffer&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

And the response was very clear, 'you’re not going to be a NATO member, but publicly, the doors will remain open.'”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.cnn.com/europe/live-news/ukraine-russia-putin-news-03-20-22/h_7c08d64201fdd9d3a141e63e606a62e4&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[NSA]] Dir. Gen.

&lt;br /&gt;
When Russia conducted an incursion into Ukraine to end the Donbas war, all Russia's allies supported [[Vladimir Putin]], but no U.S. allies supported Joe Biden, apart from a few token initiatives.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/_ZQcstirhJI&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Asked if he underestimated Putin, Biden stared vacantly and picked his teeth.&lt;br /&gt;

when asked “Do you think you may have underestimated Putin?,” Old Joe Biden first continued to stare in the general direction of the question, a slight smirk on his face, expression absolutely unchanged from what it had been before the question was asked. A few seconds later he turned his head to face the camera and, after a few more seconds, grinned sardonically. A few seconds later, he began picking his teeth with his thumbnail, and then grins a bit vacantly before the video mercifully runs out. Amid all the wrong choices, erroneous policies, abject failures, and stupid missteps of this disastrous administration, it was a trivial moment, but it was a telling one.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  On April 14, 2022, a ''[[Bloomberg News]]'' op-ed stated:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Joe Biden never planned for a war like this. The assumption was that Russia would quickly conquer much of the country, so the U.S. would be supporting a simmering, low-intensity Ukrainian insurgency. Instead, Ukraine’s successful resistance has led to an ongoing, high-intensity conventional fight, with prodigious consumption of munitions and intense attrition of key military assets.  Pentagon officials say that Kyiv is blowing through a week’s worth of deliveries of antitank munitions every day. It is also running short of usable aircraft as Russian airstrikes and combat losses take their toll. Ammunition has become scarce in [[Mariupol]] and other areas.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the same reason, the war in Ukraine is a sobering preview of the problems the U.S. itself would face in a conflict against Russia or China. If forced to go to war in [[Eastern Europe]] or the Western Pacific, Washington would spend down its stockpiles of missiles, precision-guided munitions and other critical capabilities in days or weeks. It would probably suffer severe losses of tanks, planes, ships and other assets that are sophisticated, costly and hard to replace.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-04-14/russia-ukraine-war-u-s-is-running-out-of-weapons-aiding-kyiv&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;[[C.I.A.]] personnel have continued to operate in the country secretly, mostly in the capital, Kyiv, directing much of the vast amounts of intelligence the United States is sharing with Ukrainian forces...a few dozen commandos from other NATO countries, including Britain, France, Canada and [[Lithuania]], also have been working inside Ukraine....commandos from these allies either remained or have gone in and out of the country since then, training and advising Ukrainian troops and providing an on-the-ground conduit for weapons and other aid...their presence in the country — on top of the diplomatic staff members who returned after Russia gave up its siege of Kyiv — hints at the scale of the secretive effort to assist Ukraine that is underway and the risks that Washington and its allies are taking....commandos are not on the front lines with Ukrainian troops and instead advise from headquarters in other parts of the country or remotely by encrypted communications...the signs of their stealthy logistics, training and intelligence support are tangible on the battlefield....Ukrainian commanders recently expressed appreciation to the United States for intelligence gleaned from satellite imagery, which they can call up on tablet computers provided by the allies. The tablets run a battlefield mapping app that the Ukrainians use to target and attack Russian troops.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.ph/IJ9yI&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

======Decision to arm Ukraine with offensive weapons======&lt;br /&gt;
On June 1, 2022 Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told ''RIA Novosti'' news that Biden's decision to arm Ukraine with [[HIMAR]] missile launchers increases the risk of direct confrontation between Russia and the United States.  Foreign secretary [[Blinken]] said the weapons, which have a precision range of up to 300 kilometers, were given on the pretext of a promise by Zelensky not to use the HIMARs against Russian territory. However Zelensky's transgender chief propagandist [[Alexei Arestovich]] immediately threatened, &amp;quot;Crimea is ours…It belongs to Ukraine…And they know it…Therefore, it will fly to Crimea double-time.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.sott.net/article/468500-US-to-allow-Ukraine-to-decide-range-of-missiles-Kiev-threatens-to-strike-Crimea-should-the-need-arise?&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council [[Dmitry Medvedev]] retorted, “If those types of weapons are used against the territory of Russia, the armed forces of our country will have no other choice but to strike decision-making centers...It is obvious what those decision-making centers are: the defense ministry, the general staff and so on...But it should be understood that, in this case, the ultimate decision-making centers are regretfully not even on the territory of Kiev.&amp;quot; &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://tass.com/politics/1459891&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''The Washington Post'' reported on June 17, 2022,&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Biden administration officials had discussed the possibility of a protracted conflict with global spillover effects even before February [2022], as U.S. intelligence suggested Putin was preparing to invade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Biden administration hopes that the new weaponry, in addition to successive waves of sanctions and Russia’s diplomatic isolation, will make a difference in an eventual negotiated conclusion to the war, potentially diminishing Putin’s willingness to keep up the fight, the official said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even if that reality does not materialize immediately, officials have described the stakes of ensuring Russia cannot swallow up Ukraine — an outcome officials believe could embolden Putin to invade other neighbors or even strike out at NATO members — as so high that the administration is willing to countenance even a global [[recession]] and mounting [[hunger]].&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/06/17/long-war-ukraine/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

=====Bucha massacre=====&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Safari.PNG|left|300px|thumb|Ukraine Special Forces SAFARI was sent into Bucha after the Russian withdrawal to hunt down so-called &amp;quot;collaborators&amp;quot;, for example, people who  accepted Russian humanitarian relief.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/9vGUJXuYQZQ?t=686&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Bucha massacre}}&lt;br /&gt;
Joe Lauria of Consortium News reported that on March 30, 2022, according to the Russian Defense Ministry, all Russian forces left Bucha.  This was confirmed on March 31 Bucha mayor Anatolii Fedoruk in a video on the Bucha City Council official Facebook page.  The translated post accompanying the video says:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“March 31 – the day of the liberation of Bucha. This was announced by Bucha Mayor Anatolii Fedoruk. This day will go down in the glorious history of Bucha and the entire Bucha community as a day of liberation by the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the Russian occupiers.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/BL8R6K5VdtI?t=519&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
There was no mention of a massacre of hundreds of civilians littering the streets. Evidence of crimes appeared only on the fourth day after the Security Service of Ukraine and representatives of Ukrainian media arrived in the town.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://consortiumnews.com/2022/04/04/questions-abound-about-bucha-massacre/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:SBU actions in Bucha April 2, 2022.PNG|right|300px|thumb|[[SBU]] special forces with Cyrillic '''СБУ''' acronym brutalizing civilians, April 2, 2022.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/NG_Strategy/status/1511921181259022343&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
''The New York Times'' was in Bucha on April 2, 2022 and did not report a massacre.  Instead, the ''Times'' confirmed the Russian withdrawal was completed two days after the mayor of Bucha said it was, and that the Russians left “behind them dead soldiers and burned vehicles, according to witnesses, Ukrainian officials, satellite images and military analysts.”  The ''Times'' said reporters found the bodies of six civilians. “It was unclear under what circumstances they had died, but the discarded packaging of a Russian military ration was lying beside one man who had been shot in the head,” the paper said.  In Bucha, the ''Times'' was close to the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion, whose soldiers appear in the newspaper’s photographs. The ''Times'' suggests that Azov Nazis may be responsible for the killings:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“Something very interesting then happens on [Saturday] 2 April, hours before a massacre is brought to the attention of the national and international media. The US and EU-funded Gorshenin Institute online [Ukrainian language] site Left Bank announced that:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:''‘Special forces have begun a clearing operation in the city of Bucha in the Kyiv region, which has been liberated by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The city is being cleared from saboteurs and accomplices of Russian forces.’''&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://en.lb.ua/news/2022/04/02/12441_special_forces_regiment_safari.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Russian military has by now completely left the city, so this sounds for all the world like reprisals. The state authorities would be going through the city searching for ‘saboteurs’ and ‘accomplices of Russian forces.’ Only the day before [Friday], Ekaterina Ukraintsiva, representing the town council authority, appeared on an information video on the Bucha Live Telegram page wearing military fatigues and seated in front of a Ukrainian flag to announce ‘the cleansing of the city.’ She informed residents that the arrival of the Azov battalion did not mean that liberation was complete (but it was, the Russians had fully withdrawn), and that a ‘complete sweep’ had to be performed.”}}&lt;br /&gt;
According to War On Fakes, &amp;quot;the first unit of the Ukrainian armed forces to enter Bucha was the special forces of the National Guard of Ukraine.  The official Telegram channel of the National Guard posted a video, filmed by the fighters of this detachment themselves. We can see on this video that the Ukrainian military calmly pass through the streets of the city—and no ‘mountains of corpses’ are visible on these streets.”  War On Fakes then asks, “So where did the corpses on the streets of Bucha come from. And who are these people? &lt;br /&gt;
The answer may lie in the video of the Territorial Defense of Ukraine, which clearly states the question ‘Can I shoot at them if there are no blue armbands?’ To which a positive response follows. The video was originally posted by the leader of the [[Territorial Defense]] Sergey ‘Botsman’ Korotkikh.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://mronline.org/2022/04/07/staged-massacre-in-bucha/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Sergey ‘Botsman’ Korotkikh later makes startling postings about the disappearance of Chilean/American journalist [[Gonzalo Lira]] from [[Kharkiv]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Sergey ‘Botsman’ Korotkikh&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 3, 2022 when the story broke, Russia immediately requested a meeting if the [[UN Security Council]] for the following Monday, April. The [[United Kingdom]], another permanent member of the Security Council, [[veto]]ed holding a Security Council meeting in the matter.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.sott.net/article/466326-Britain-blocking-UN-investigation-into-Bucha-massacre-in-Ukraine-Russia&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Russian UN Ambassador said in a statement:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;[[London]] shows clearly what does the so-called [[new world order]] looks like, the order based on rules and based, it seems, on violation of all possible and impossible norms of international law, treaties and any norms of civilized behavior at all.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://tass.com/world/1432333&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Pentagon]] refused to confirm the Ukrainian government's claim that Russians were responsible for the massacre. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reuters.com/world/pentagon-cant-independently-confirm-atrocities-ukraines-bucha-official-says-2022-04-04/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reuters.com/world/pentagon-cant-independently-confirm-atrocities-ukraines-bucha-official-says-2022-04-04/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/04/us-military-intelligence-official-refutes-russian-atrocities-claims/comments/page/5/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Former leader of the Socialist Party of Ukraine, Ilya Kiva said that the story in Bucha was planned and prepared in advance by the [[counterintelligence]] of Ukraine, with the assistance of the British [[MI6]].  Kiva said, &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;The whole story in Bucha was prepared and planned in advance by the SBU and [[MI6]]. They arrived early in the morning, cordoned off the area, scattered the corpses and then sent [[journalist]]s there. That's why that clown Zelensky even came back. To raise the interest of the international press in the alleged tragedy, but it's all a pure fake. Why didn't such a situation take place in other areas? Don`t you understand that it was staged in advance, which was supposed to arouse the aggression and hatred in you first of all. But it didn't happen.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ot894JsANM&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
All the corpses wore white arm bands which were distributed by the Russian military to identify civilian non-combatants, who then became the victims of Ukrainian security forces as collaborators in reprisal actions.  Some alleged corpses sat up after television cameras filmed them.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://rumble.com/vzl3qf-evidence-of-bucha-false-flag.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://southfront.org/leaked-recording-allegedly-confirms-massacre-in-bucha-was-staged-by-ukrainian-militants/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Ukrainian television showed footage of Ukrainian security forces dragging corpses into place for the TV cameras.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
======Western coverup======&lt;br /&gt;
Western media and the NATO allies [[coverup]] came unglued by their own investigation.  A team of forensic investigators from Kyiv reported that dozens of civilians who died in the city of Bucha were killed by tiny metal arrows from shells fired by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) artillery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pathologists and coroners who are carrying out postmortems on bodies found in mass graves in the region north of Kyiv said they found small metal darts, called fléchettes, embedded in people’s heads and chests.  “We found several really thin, nail-like objects in the bodies of men and women and so did others of my colleagues in the region,” Vladyslav Pirovskyi, a Ukrainian forensic doctor, told ''[[The Guardian]]''. “It is very hard to find those in the body, they are too thin. The majority of these bodies come from the Bucha-Irpin region.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Independent weapons experts who reviewed pictures of the metal arrows found in the bodies confirmed that they were fléchettes, an anti-personnel weapon widely used during the first world war.  These small metal darts are contained in tank or field gun shells. Each shell can contain up to 8,000 fléchettes. Once fired, shells burst when a timed fuse detonates and explodes above the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“According to a number of witnesses in Bucha, fléchette rounds were fired by artillery a few days before Russian forces withdrew from the area at the end of March”, – ''The Guardian'' reported.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/MpSM-aiaxK4&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The same fléchettes were used by the AFU in 2014 in the [[Lugansk Peoples Republic]] (LPR) at the start of the Donbas war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fléchettes were not widely used during the [[Second World War]], but were brough back by the US during the [[Vietnam war]].  “Fléchettes are an anti-personnel weapon designed to penetrate dense vegetation and to strike a large number of enemy soldiers,” according to Amnesty International. “They should never be used in built-up civilian areas.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://southfront.org/bucha-investigation-contradicts-itself-confirms-afus-atrocities/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A team of 18 experts from the forensic department of France’s national gendarmerie, alongside a team of forensic investigators from Kyiv, have started documenting the situation after the re-occupation of Bucha by the SBU Safari force.  “We are seeing a lot mutilated (disfigured) bodies,” said Pirovsky. “A lot of them had their hands tied behind their backs and shots in the back of their heads. There were also cases with automatic gunfire, like six to eight holes on the back of victims. And we have several cases of cluster bombs’ elements embedded in the bodies of the victims.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evidence collected by experts during a visit to Bucha, Hostomel and Borodianka, and reviewed by independent weapons experts, showed that cluster munitions and powerful unguided bombs were used in the region. They killed a large number of civilians and destroyed at least eight buildings. These types of weapons are banned by the Ottawa Convention, which Ukraine is party to.  Illegal cluster munitions were discovered in Ukrainian weapons storage depots.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====Expropriation of grain stocks=====&lt;br /&gt;
Biden called for the expropriation of 20 million tonnes of Ukrainian grain stocks to alleviate price increases caused by American and European sanctions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2022/05/11/remarks-by-president-biden-on-supporting-farmers-and-american-families/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====='''NYT''' turns on Biden's war policy=====&lt;br /&gt;
On May 19, 2022, after NATO's humiliating defeat in the [[Battle of Mariupol]], the ''New York Times'' editorial board turned on Biden's war policy which was having a disastrous effect on the US economy and causing the senseless destruction of lives and property in Ukraine:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Recent bellicose statements from Washington — President Biden’s assertion that Mr. Putin “cannot remain in power,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s comment that Russia must be “weakened” and the pledge by the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, that the United States would support Ukraine “until victory is won” — may be rousing proclamations of support, but they do not bring negotiations any closer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, it is the Ukrainians who must make the hard decisions: They are the ones fighting, dying and losing their homes....Biden should also make clear to President Volodymyr Zelensky and his people that there is a limit to how far the United States and NATO will go to confront Russia, and limits to the arms, money and political support they can muster. It is imperative that the Ukrainian government’s decisions be based on a realistic assessment of its means and how much more destruction Ukraine can sustain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Confronting this reality may be painful, but it is not appeasement. This is what governments are duty bound to do, not chase after an illusory “win.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Editorial, &lt;br /&gt;

====Relations with Vladimir Putin====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As vice-president in 2011, Putin snubbed Biden in a face-to-face meeting. Sitting across a conference table Putin, Biden attempted to lecture Putin. Biden said, &amp;quot;I’ve been around a long time. The first time I was here…” and in mid-sentence his microphone was cut off,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2011/03/10/remarks-vice-president-joe-biden-and-russian-prime-minister-vladimir-put&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  the lights for the TV cameras went off, and the press was told to leave. The press exited quickly and quietly.  Videocameras were disassembled from tripods and still photographers stopped shooting. Portable lights came down from retractable poles. No one spoke and no one lingered.  Putin pulled the plug, stole Biden's audience, and rendered him speechless.  Putin and the Russian delegation sat motionless as their American counterparts realized the rug had been pulled out underneath Biden's feet.  Putin had neither fear nor respect for Biden, and Biden was humiliated.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thenationalpulse.com/analysis/putin-humiliated-biden-in-moscow-meeting/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Biden, who called Putin a &amp;quot;killer&amp;quot; in March 2021, now called him a &amp;quot;bright and worthy adversary&amp;quot; on the eve of the June 16, 2021 summit in Geneva.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/white-house-plays-down-hacker-swap-after-putin-offers-biden-a-deal-kr7cc9l8n&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Putin criticized Biden's [[human rights]] record, the mass incarceration of dissidents, and the murder of [[Ashli Babbitt]], a peaceful protester at the January 6, 2021 Capitol election theft protests.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/h1HPcxLc_nE&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Biden ducked out and refused to appear at the traditional post-summit press conference leaving more questions about Biden's mental fitness.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://creativedestructionmedia.com/news/europe/2021/06/12/biden-refuses-to-hold-joint-press-conference-with-putin-after-upcoming-summit/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
====Sanctions====&lt;br /&gt;
Biden's sanctions on Russia led to the de-dollarization of the planet, abandonment of the U.S. dollar and the global reserve currency, the creation of alternative and competing international networks and mediums of exchange, the suicide of globalization, food and energy shortages in Europe and the United States, declining living standards in the NATO bloc, and global recession.  Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova explained that the Biden regime's economic war on Russia and unacceptable behavior was caused by &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“impotent rage because the plan to turn Ukraine into 'anti-Russia' and use it as a bridgehead for delivering all types of strikes on the territory of the Russian Federation failed...Apparently, it was not expected that Russia would withstand this blow, and problems, according to the law of communicating vessels, would begin to multiply in the United States of America itself, not to mention its satellites from the European Union singing along with them ...

-Waltz has had his own experience in the Middle East as an Army Green Beret &lt;br /&gt;
-State Department official confirmed Tuesday that Richard Nephew stood down&lt;br /&gt;
-He was U.S. Deputy Special Envoy for Iran and known as sanctions architect&lt;br /&gt;
-Nephew, who wanted Biden to take a harder stance against Iran, has reportedly been avoiding the meetings in Vienna since December &lt;br /&gt;
-At the same time, reports emerged that two other negotiators had left&lt;br /&gt;
-It comes at a critical time in negotiations between the West and Tehran &lt;br /&gt;

As the new agreement ignores the fact that Iran has made rapid advancements in uranium enrichment since 2015 and addresses issues that are no longer relevant instead. In addition, the draft of the new agreement does not obligate Iran to destroy its advanced centrifuges, instead allowing it to &amp;quot;store them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Above all, the first phase of the agreement allows the Iranians to continue perpetrating its global terror network by almost immediately granting it access to about $7 billion of funds now frozen in South Korean banks due to sanctions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Channel 13 News [Israel], Feb 21, 2022&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In Mar 2022, at the days of [[Russia-Ukraine war]], [[Mike Pence]] decried [[Biden]]:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ariel Kahana, [https://www.israelhayom.co.il/news/geopolitics/article/8921088 Former US Vice President Mike Pence in an exclusive interview: &amp;quot;Putin is creating atrocities in Ukraine and the US is on his side over Iran, it's inconceivable.&amp;quot;] ''ILH'', 7/3/2022.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Trump's former deputy attacks President Biden: &amp;quot;Seeks dangerous agreement with Iran&amp;quot; - on Russian invasion of Ukraine: &amp;quot;Putin must be arrested, and Putin must pay&amp;quot; - he adds: &amp;quot;Pressure must continue until Russian forces leave&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;quot;It's a bad thing to do in peacetime, but working so closely with the Russians now to return to the dangerous and flawed agreement with the ayatollahs in Iran - it's really unacceptable.

Biden's push for a bad deal, got so bad, that in Mar 2022,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Tal Spungin, &amp;quot;[https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-700734 Saudi Arabia, UAE leaders not returning Biden's calls, disappointed with US - report]&amp;quot;, ''JPost'', Mar 9, 2022.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Saudi Arabia and the UAE are disappointed with the Iran nuclear deal, as well as the American response to Houthi terrorist attacks in recent weeks.&lt;br /&gt;
The leaders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have declined calls from US President Joe Biden for several weeks, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday citing officials in the Middle East and the United States.&lt;br /&gt;
The messages of dissatisfaction sent by Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati Shiekh Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan come as the two leaders share concerns over the American response to recent missile and drone strikes from Yemen, claimed by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels.&lt;br /&gt;
The two nations are also reportedly disappointed with the state of negotiations in the ever-nearing Iran nuclear deal, according to the WSJ.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Saudi Arabia, UAE leaders not returning Biden's calls, disappointed with US.&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gabriel Noronha, who served for two years in former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s Iran Action Group on Biden's deal (Mar/2022):&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Gabriel Noronha, &amp;quot;[https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/this-isnt-obamas-iran-deal-its-much-much-worse This Isn’t Obama’s Iran Deal. It’s Much, Much Worse]&amp;quot;, ''Tablet'', March 7, 2022.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Anyone seeking to gauge the imminent outcome of the international talks over Iran’s nuclear program being held in Vienna should take a look at reports from late January that three top U.S. diplomats had quit—largely in protest over the direction set by U.S. Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley, who serves as the U.S. government’s chief negotiator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Having served for two years in former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s Iran Action Group, I knew that this development was tantamount to a public cry for an intervention. Such resignations—not of conservative dissenters, but of career staff and President Joe Biden’s own political appointees—should have been cause for Biden or Secretary Antony Blinken to recall Malley and investigate. Their failure to do so is a sign either of a troubling lack of attention to the talks, or else the possibility that Malley—who served in the same capacity under President Barack Obama when the first Iran deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was originally negotiated and signed—has been given a free hand to negotiate whatever he wants, as long as he gets Iran to sign.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evidence for the latter view can be gleaned from the fact that Blinken has reneged on his pledge that his Iran negotiating team would have “a diversity of views.” Instead, he has let Malley continue to concede issue after issue in Vienna. Multiple career officials view these capitulations as so detrimental to U.S. national security that they contacted me requesting that I rapidly share details of these concessions with Congress and the public in an effort to stop them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reports out of Vienna indicate that a deal could occur within the next few days. While some issues are still being ironed out—such as whether the United States will grant Russia immunity from any economic sanctions relating to Iran, as Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has publicly demanded—the details that follow have been conveyed to me as finalized. My subsequent discussions with foreign diplomats—including those directly involved and those outside but close to the negotiations—confirmed their claims. Ambassador Mikhail Ulyanov, who led negotiations on behalf of Russia, has crowed that “Iran got much more than it could expect. Much more,” and bragged about how Russia teamed up with China and Iran to get dozens of wins over the United States and European negotiating positions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The list of concessions that follows is long, detailed, disturbing, but also somewhat technical. But this much is clear to me: The deal being negotiated in Vienna is dangerous to U.S. national security, to the stability of the Middle East, and to the Iranian people who suffer most under that brutal regime. The lack of evidence to justify a removal of U.S. sanctions is illegal, and the deal that will be foisted upon the world without the support of Congress will be illegitimate. This deal will not serve U.S. interests in either the short or long term.&lt;br /&gt;
With Robert Malley in the lead, the United States has promised to lift sanction...&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;This isn’t Obama’s Iran deal. It’s much, much worse.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
And:&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Iran is set to get access to a massive windfall of cash: My latest estimate (derived from figures declassified during my tenure at the State Department) is $90 billion in access to foreign exchange reserves, and then a further $50-$55 billion in extra revenue each year from higher oil and petrochemical exports, with no restrictions on how or where the money can be spent.&lt;br /&gt;
Personally, the most troubling transfer of funds will be the $7 billion ransom payment the United States is preparing to pay for the release of four Americans from an Iranian jail. Now, let me be clear: I would be extremely glad to bring these Americans back home safely as quickly as possible. They are innocent victims who, along with their families, have suffered unjustly for far too long. But make no mistake: Biden’s payment will only supercharge Iran’s hostage-taking industry….&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=====Iran's proxy Islamist terrorists: Houthis=====&lt;br /&gt;
Biden has reversed Trump's designating the [[Houthis]] as a terrorist group under a facade of &amp;quot;humanitarian&amp;quot; effect. Yet, in 2022, a bipartisan House group argued that ‘removing the designation… has done little’ to improve the humanitarian situation in Yemen.'&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://jewishinsider.com/2022/02/seventeen-lawmakers-write-to-biden-urging-reinstatement-of-houthi-terrorist-designation/ Seventeen lawmakers write to Biden urging reinstatement of Houthi terrorist designation], ''JI'', Feb 15, 2022.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

He also said that the Houthis’ missiles will continue to strike deep in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The rally was broadcasted [sic] on Al-Masirah TV (Houthis-Yemen) on January 24, 2022.&lt;br /&gt;
Student: “Placing their trust in Allah, our missile forces are continuing to strike deep inside Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Allah willing, our UAVs will reach Tel Aviv and New York in the very near future.”&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Palestinian people&amp;quot; have spoken. Will Biden listen to them?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;In the name of Allah, the merciful and compassionate,&amp;quot; said Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas, “we would like to welcome Secretary Clinton.”&lt;br /&gt;
“Blinken,” someone corrected him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Sorry, Blinken,” said the 86-year-old Islamic terrorist leader.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken had to travel thousands of miles to find a leader even more unpopular and out of it than the one he had left behind at the White House.&lt;br /&gt;
That was last year. This year, Abbas got Blinken’s name right, but not much else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 17 years (and just one election), Abbas has seen a lot of secretaries of state come and go to get their pictures taken with him before sending him a few hundred million dollars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Last year, Abbas told Blinken that he had “postponed the elections” because of Israel and that the moment he gets his paws on Jerusalem, “we will hold them immediately and without any delay, because ultimately what we’re interested in is to establish democracy throughout Palestine.” This year they can’t be held either, because Abbas still doesn’t have Jerusalem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The last Palestinian Authority presidential election was in 2005. Abbas won. The last parliamentary election was in 2006. Hamas won. The presidential and parliamentary elections have been postponed since then but are expected to resume any time now. If not, blame Israel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since elections won’t be happening anytime soon, a recent poll reveals that 73% of the “Palestinians” occupying the West Bank and Gaza Strip want Abbas to resign.&lt;br /&gt;
If elections were somehow held today, the Hamas presidential candidate would win 54% of the vote while Abbas would only get 38%. So you can see why there will be no elections.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sixty-one percent want to tear up all agreements with Israel (since they haven’t kept them, that would be a technicality), 70% don’t want to negotiate with Israel and 64% don’t even want to negotiate with Biden. Fifty-eight percent oppose the “two-state solution” that is the touchstone of the entire peace process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seventy-three percent believe that the Koran predicts that Israel will be destroyed, but only 32% believe it will happen in 2022.&lt;br /&gt;
Under these circumstances, the last thing the Biden administration wants is democracy for the quarreling foreign jihadist tribes who invaded Israel over the last few centuries and were rebranded with the name of the European colonists known as the Philistines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blinken is fine with Abbas postponing the elections forever, because otherwise the terror clans will do what they did the last time that Bush naively allowed elections and vote for Hamas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And that would be inconvenient because Hamas won’t pretend that they aren’t terrorists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four Israelis were murdered last week by a Muslim terrorist attack at a mall in Beersheva.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite  the terrorist’s Islamic State membership, a Hamas spokesman praised “the executor of the heroic operation” and promised more “heroic operations: stabbings, ramming and shooting” like the car-ramming and stabbing spree that killed a rabbi who ran a soup kitchen and two mothers of three. So much for the claim that Hamas will inhibit the rise of the “extremists” of ISIS.&lt;br /&gt;
P.A. media also hailed the terrorist, Muhammad Abu al-Kiyan, who was shot and killed by an Israeli bus driver who chased him down on foot, as a “martyr.” If the P.A. follows its usual “Pay to Slay” policy in this case, it won’t just be financially supporting the usual stable of PLO, Hamas and Islamic Jihad families, but also an ISIS terrorist’s family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And that will mean American taxpayers will end up subsidizing ISIS terrorism in Israel, as the Biden administration explores ways to bypass the Taylor Force Act’s ban on terror funding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At a joint press conference on Sunday with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Blinken gave a speech mostly blaming Israel for future violence during Passover and Ramadan. That speech was followed by another ISIS attack in which two heavily armed terrorists opened fire on a bus. The Islamic terrorists were taken down by cops who had been eating nearby, but not before they killed two officers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamas celebrated the “valor and courage” of the ISIS terrorists, as did Islamic Jihad.&lt;br /&gt;
Hezbollah, backed by Iran, praised the ISIS attack as an “important and most effective practical response to the infamous and treacherous normalization meetings that some Arab regimes are carrying out with the enemy entity,” referring to the anti-Iran summit in Israel with the foreign ministers of Bahrain, UAE, Morocco and Egypt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Iran’s pro-Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps outlet, too, praised it as a “martyrdom operation.” When it comes to Israel, Iran and ISIS are on the same side. Much as Al-Qaeda and Iran were on the same side when it came to the terrorist attacks of September 11.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blinken meanwhile used the visit to pitch Israelis on a Biden plan to remove the IRGC, Iran’s terror hub, from the list of foreign terrorist organizations, claiming it would be “symbolic.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He failed to condemn the terrorist attack as an ISIS attack, calling it “senseless” violence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At his joint press conference with Abbas, Blinken also failed to condemn terrorism or to note that ISIS, with the tacit support of his PLO hosts in Ramallah and of Hamas in Gaza, was planting its flag in Israel. Instead, Blinken once again condemned Jewish Israeli “settler violence.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland’s previous visit, the formula of Biden administration officials condemning Israeli “settler violence” while promising to “strengthen” the terrorists of the P.A. is as familiar as it is evil. The P.A. is an unwanted institution whose leader 73% of the people he rules over want to see out of office.&lt;br /&gt;
And 49% want to dissolve the Palestinian Authority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Considering the decades of failure, misery and terrorism wrought by the failed Clinton initiative to create a Palestinian state, it’s long past time for everyone to turn the page on this disaster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neither Arab Muslims nor Israelis want Abbas or the P.A. Only diplomats like Blinken and Nuland insist on keeping the senile tyrant of Ramallah in office until he dies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a final statistic, the poll asked who was “most deserving of representing and leading the Palestinian people.” Thirty-one percent picked Hamas, 29% chose Abbas’ P.A., and 33% chose none of the above. Eighty-four percent believe the P.A. is corrupt and 70% believe Hamas is dirty.&lt;br /&gt;
The “Palestinian people” have spoken. Will Biden listen to them?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The root source of the corruption is the hundreds of millions of dollars Blinken came bearing last year for the regime of a corrupt, senile autocrat who didn’t even know whom he was talking to. There’s more money coming this year to prop up the terrorist regime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All in the name of a peace which doesn’t exist and that the majority of “Palestinians” don’t want.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The United States has gone from using its foreign aid to the P.A. to prop up PLO, Islamic Jihad and Hamas terrorism against Israel to subsidizing ISIS terrorism.&lt;br /&gt;
Will ISIS be a final red line for the corrupt farce of a two-state solution and a peace process?&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
See: [[Islamic_State#Islamic_Arabs_.22Palestinians.22_inside_Israel|ISIS among Islamic Arab &amp;quot;Palestinians&amp;quot; in Isr.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Qatar===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Jan 2022, Biden told [[Qatar]]’s emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, earlier this month that the Gulf country is to be designated as a major non-NATO ally, a significant upgrade in relations between the two countries. Yet the designation comes despite concerns over Qatar’s backing of Islamist groups throughout the region, including Hamas.&lt;br /&gt;
Experts add:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ariel Ben Solomon, &amp;quot;[https://www.jns.org/with-major-non-nato-designation-america-seems-to-court-terror-supporting-qatar/ With major non-NATO designation, America seems to court terror-supporting Qatar]&amp;quot;, ''JNS'', Feb 18, 2022.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“For decades, Qatar has provided financial and political support, directly and indirectly, to virtually every anti-American Islamic terrorist organization,” noted Carmon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This list includes the terror-based Muslim Brotherhood, Al-Qaeda and even organizations affiliated with ISIS, he claimed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Senior Muslim cleric and Muslim Brotherhood leader Sheikh Yusef al-Qaradawi, a prominent Islamist known for his vicious anti-Semitism and justification of the Holocaust, has been operating for years from Qatar under its protection, said Carmon. “In addition, Qatar has provided shelter to several other jihadi leaders.”&lt;br /&gt;
For example, according to testimony in 2003 before a committee in the U.S. House of Representatives, the Qatar Charitable Society is linked to top levels of the Qatari government and played a significant role in funding jihadi groups, including Al-Qaeda... In addition, the “charity” organization was first named as funding Al-Qaeda during the trial proceedings of the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.&lt;br /&gt;
“If it weren’t for Qatar, the September 11 attacks might not have taken place,” he continued.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In 1996, terrorist mastermind Khalid Sheikh Muhammad had been under Qatari protection in Doha. When the U.S. government notified the Qatari emir that they were coming to arrest KSM for his involvement in terrorist plots, KSM disappeared within hours, only to reappear in 2001 as the mastermind behind 9/11.”&lt;br /&gt;
Jonathan Schanzer, senior vice president at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told JNS, “the Biden decision was driven in part by the looming energy crisis. Qatar is a major global gas producer and provider.”&lt;br /&gt;
“With Russia set to invade Ukraine and potentially cut off gas to Europe, the administration needs alternatives. So, some of this may link back to our large air-force base at Al Udeid,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;
“But don’t ignore the looming energy crisis. It accounts for quite a bit right now,” he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Qatar has ruled out normalizing relations with Israel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
... the official Qatari-owned TV channel, Al Jazeera, functions as a mouthpiece for jihadi terror organizations. “It has praised Osama bin Laden and broadcasted his speeches and allowed a sheikh to pledge allegiance to ISIS on air.”&lt;br /&gt;
“The Qatari-based channel has also aired calls for terror attacks against American oil installations,” he said. “It even hosted a birthday party—complete with a large cake, fireworks and a band—for released terrorist Samir Al-Kuntar,” a Lebanese Druze member of the Palestine Liberation Front and Hezbollah “who brutally murdered a 4-year-old [Israeli] girl and her father in 1979.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Qatar’s duplicity regarding the United States is manifest in its diplomacy, too. “Qatar funded the Taliban throughout America’s presence in Afghanistan, yet the American administration is eagerly thanking Qatar for its ‘help’ in preventing an even greater disaster during the withdrawal last August.”&lt;br /&gt;
According to an exclusive report by Axios last week, Qatar arranged with the Taliban to resume evacuation flights with Qatar Airways to allow American and other countries to evacuate thousands of their citizens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another Axios report, also last week, said that Qatar ruled out normalizing relations with Israel. Al Thani said that while Qatar continues to have a “working relationship” with Israel to help the Palestinians, he does not envision the country joining the Abraham Accords “in the absence of a real commitment to a two-state solution.”&lt;br /&gt;
The country has been involved in ensuring that Israel helps move aid and reconstruction supplies to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and has transferred hundreds of millions of dollars of aid to Hamas, which rules the coastal enclave with an iron fist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Moreover, the United States acts like it is indebted to Qatar for hosting the Al Udeid Air Base and U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) headquarters, which Qatar built at the cost of $2 billion, stated Carmon.&lt;br /&gt;
There was another option: Both the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia had offered to host the CENTCOM base in Qatar’s stead, but America rejected their offers.&lt;br /&gt;
He said “the Qataris should be thanking the U.S. for guaranteeing their security, but instead, Qatar has been strengthening security relations with countries like China and telling the Iranians that ‘only countries along the coast [of the Persian Gulf] should keep security in the region.’ ”&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Afghanistan===&lt;br /&gt;
No American was killed in Afghanistan since February of 2020 until Biden's seizure of power. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Kabul 2021.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Joe Biden, author of the [[Violence Against Women Act]], abandoning the women and girls of Afghanistan to the Taliban [[rape jihad]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Taliban warned in late March 2021 that the group would start targeting foreign troops in [[Afghanistan]] if they remain in the country beyond the May 1, 2021 deadline set by the US-Taliban peace deal.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/3/26/taliban-threaten-to-re-target-foreign-troops-if-may-1&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  As American troops departed, the Peoples Republic of China began expanding their Belt and Road Initiative with a $62 billion aid package to Afghanistan to extend the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9755531/China-prepares-Afghanistan-following-Americas-departure-Belt-Road-program.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On July 8, 2021, Biden said from the White House, &amp;quot;I trust the capacity of the Afghan military, who is better trained, better equipped, and more competent in terms of conducting war,&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://freebeacon.com/national-security/bidens-afghanistan-predictions-were-all-wrong/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &amp;quot;There's going to be no circumstance where you're going to see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy of the United States from Afghanistan.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Naomi Lim, White House Reporter, [https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/biden-parallels-afghanistan-vietnam-wars Biden dismisses comparisons between Afghanistan and Vietnam wars], Washington &lt;br /&gt;
Examiner, Jul 8, 2021&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The same month the Defense Department said it was providing the Afghan Air Force 35 Black Hawk helicopters and three A-29 Super Tucanos.  The United States spent $83 billion equipping and training the Afghanistan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF), including $10 billion in aircraft and vehicles.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.defenseone.com/threats/2021/08/us-spent-83-billion-training-afghan-forces-why-did-they-collapse-so-quickly/184529/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Less than a month later several Black Hawks helicopters and other aircraft were seized by the Taliban.  Many of the aircraft and helicopters are armed.  These A-29 Super Tucanos can fire laser-guided and other types of bombs. The Afghan government also had 50 American-made MD-530 attack helicopters, which are armed with machine guns and rockets. The Afghan Air Force had UH-60 Black Hawks and Russian-made Mi-17 helicopters, as well as C-130 and Cessna transports, and a small fleet of armed Cessnas.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.defenseone.com/threats/2021/08/taliban-captured-helicopters-can-they-capture-air-force/184525/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the impending crisis escalated, White House chief propagandists Jen Psaki said &amp;quot;The Taliban has to make an assessment about what they want their role to be in the international community.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.mediaite.com/online/jen-psaki-mocked-for-saying-taliban-has-to-make-an-assessment-about-their-future-role-america-is-back-alright/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Her comments came as reports flowed in of Taliban fighters going door-to-door and forcibly selecting girls as young as 12 to reward as brides for the victorious jihadis.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.wsj.com/articles/afghans-tell-of-executions-forced-marriages-in-taliban-held-areas-11628780820&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{quotebox-float|“We’re going to pay for that for a long time to come, and that’s why it is insane – just idiotic – to think that we can tell the Taliban that if they don’t stop taking over territory and play nice, the international community will withhold recognition and support.  The Taliban really doesn’t care, because they’ve got something far more valuable.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We have seen this movie before.  This would be the Taliban of the 1990s that gave safe haven to al-Qaida, except they’re meaner and tougher than they were then because of what they’ve been through.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But even with all of that, I’m afraid a lot of people are going to die.  As the Taliban moves into different cities and towns, they’ve got their hit list. So it’s going to be messy, it’s going to be incomplete and more people are going to die, but we’ve got to make our best possible effort.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Crocker told ''[[CBS]]'' ''[[Face the Nation]]'', &amp;quot;It has created a global crisis, quite frankly. It has emboldened violent Islamic radicals, and I think we’re all gonna see the fallout of that, certainly in Pakistan, a champion the Taliban.  The Taliban victory, the narrative of defeating the great infidel, empowers radicals in Pakistan that they’re going to have to deal with if they can. And that’s a country of 220 million people with nuclear weapons.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://therightscoop.com/obama-afghan-ambassador-says-bidens-withdrawal-has-created-a-global-crisis/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;   ''Politico'' chief European correspondent Matthew Karnitschnig wrote, &amp;quot;Biden told allies to join him in proving that [[democracy]] works and defending it against [[authoritarianism]].

{{quotebox-float|“Joe Biden’s handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal was condemned as “catastrophic” and “shameful” on Wednesday as the [[Houses of Parliament]] delivered an unprecedented rebuke to a US president.  MPs and peers from across the political spectrum, including [[Boris Johnson]], put some blame for the Taliban’s takeover and the chaos that followed on Britain’s closest ally.  Mr Biden was accused of “throwing us and everybody else to the fire” by pulling out US troops, and was called “dishonourable” for criticising Afghan forces for not having the will to fight.  Former defence chiefs who led British troops in the Middle East were among those to speak out, while there were warnings that the West’s withdrawal would embolden Russia and China.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[…] Labour MP Chris Bryant called Mr Biden’s remarks about Afghan soldiers “some of the most shameful comments ever from an American president”.  Khalid Mahmood, a Labour MP and former defence minister, said: “The Biden government have just come in and, without looking at what is happening on the ground, have taken a unilateral decision, throwing us and everybody else to the fire.” &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://archive.is/YkOPb#selection-517.0-535.24 Parliament holds Joe Biden in contempt over Afghanistan], By Ben Riley-Smith, ''The Telegraph'', 18 August 2021.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

The Taliban regime that the Biden junta facilitated to power contained several leaders on the [[FBI]]'s Most Wanted List. Biden's abandonment of $83 billion in military equipment made the United States, bar far, the world's largest state-sponsor of terror.&lt;br /&gt;

====Emboldening adversaries====&lt;br /&gt;
Following [[Iran]]'s Mar 12, 2022, attacking Erbil,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-701103 Missiles fired from Iran fall near US consulate in Erbil, Iraq - report], ''Jerusalem Post'', Mar 12, 2022.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Some 12 missiles were fired from Iranian territory and fell near the US consulate in Erbil in northwestern Iraq on Saturday night.&lt;br /&gt;
The Kurdistan Counter-Terrorism Service announced that 12 ballistic missiles were fired from &amp;quot;outside the borders of Iraq and the Kurdistan region, specifically from the east,&amp;quot; according to the Iraqi News Agency (INA).&lt;br /&gt;
Independent open-source intelligence (OSINT) accounts shared videos reportedly shared by Iranian civilians showing missiles being fired from Iran at the time of the attack, with at least one of the videos being geolocated to a site in Khasabad in the East Azerbaijan province of Iran.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; via 12 missiles, reaching near US consulate and damaging [[Kurd]]ish media offices, a journalist: 'I have not seen a united Iraq around anything for a long time... Condemnations all-over-the-map against Iran'.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Indeed, I have not seen a united Iraq around anything for a long time.  Condemnations all-over-the-map [in Iraq] against Iran following the missile attack, from Erbil to Baghdad, including the &amp;quot;crowner&amp;quot; of kings Shiite preacher Muqtada al-Sadr.  Why is this interesting?  Because the shooting of the Iranians takes place on days when there is some breakthrough in the contacts for the formation of the government with the participation of factions affiliated with Iran.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt; -- roi kais • روعي كايس  רועי קייס (@kaisos1987) [https://twitter.com/kaisos1987/status/1503066261932105733 March 13, 2022].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Update from @EricSchmittNYT: A senior Biden administration official refuted the earlier comment by a US official, saying the administration believes that the building that was hit was a civilian residence only and did not also serve as an Israeli training site.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Experts connected Biden's failed method /form of Agfhanistan withdrawal with the [[Russia-Ukraine war]] in Feb/2022.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In fact, a Feb/2022 Caps-Harris poll showed 62% of respondents believe Putin would not have ordered troops into Ukraine with Trump in White House.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Edward Helmore, &amp;quot;[https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/feb/26/poll-trump-russia-ukraine-white-house Poll: US majority believes no Russian invasion with Trump as president]&amp;quot;, The Guardian, Feb 26, 2022.&lt;br /&gt;

Caps-Harris poll shows 62% of respondents believe Putin would not have ordered troops into Ukraine with Trump in White House...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In partisan terms, the survey found that 85% of Republicans and 38% of Democrats held the view.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As pundits explain:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;John Ratcliffe, Cliff Sims, &amp;quot;[https://thefederalist.com/2022/03/03/fear-of-donald-trump-kept-putin-from-invading-ukraine-heres-how-trump-pulled-it-off/ Fear Of Donald Trump Kept Putin From Invading Ukraine.

&lt;br /&gt;
Liberal B Maher rhetorically asked: ‘If Putin thought Trump was really that supportive’ then ‘why didn’t he invade when Trump was in office?'&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ian hatchett, [https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2022/03/11/maher-if-putin-thought-trump-was-really-that-supportive-then-why-didnt-he-invade-when-trump-was-in-office/ Maher: ‘If Putin Thought Trump Was Really That Supportive’ Then ‘Why Didn’t He Invade When Trump Was in Office?’], Breitbart, 03/11/2022.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher criticized people who have attempted to make the Russian invasion of Ukraine about their pet issues and criticized those who have attempted to blame the invasion on former President Donald Trump by asking, “if Putin thought Trump was really that supportive of him, why didn’t he invade when Trump was in office?” And arguing that the question’s worth asking “if you’re not locked into one, intransigent thought.”&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Taliban threatens to send 2000 suicide bombers to DC====&lt;br /&gt;
The Taliban told the United States that if America wants 2,000 soldiers to guard its embassy in Kabul, the Taliban too will deploy a similar number of [[suicide bomber]]s at the Afghan embassy in Washington D.C.  On December 11, 2021, a tweet by Maulvi Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid, the son of the late Afghan Taliban founder Mullah Mohammad Omar Mujahid and now the acting defense minister of Afghanistan under the Taliban regime, stated: “If America wants 2,000 English [i.e., American] troops at its embassy in Afghanistan, we also want 2,000 Fidayeen Mujahideen [i.e., suicide bombers] from the Fateh Force at the embassy of Afghanistan in America.” The tweet is the first indication that the U.S. is seeking to deploy 2,000 troops to open its embassy in Kabul, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.memri.org/jttm/afghan-taliban-defense-minister-maulvi-mohammad-yaqoob-mujahid-if-america-wants-2000-english-ie#_edn1&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fidayeen is another term used by jihadi groups for their suicide bombers. “Fateh Force,” or “victorious force,” is a “martyrdom force” within the Badri 313 unit of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. Badri 313 is named after the Ghazwa-e-Badr, the first Islamic battle led by Islam’s founder Muhammad in which 313 Muslims defeated thousands of non-Muslim tribesmen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Looting Afghanistan's central reserves====&lt;br /&gt;
On February 11, 2022 Joe Biden signed an executive order which splits Afghanistan's $7 billion in foreign reserves between 9/11 victims and aid to Afghans. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/02/11/biden-afghanistan-currency-taliban/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

China is the world’s largest source of Marine debris, the largest consumer of trafficked wildlife and timber products, the greatest emitter of mercury, and the largest emitter of greenhouse gases, producing nearly one third of all global emissions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vice foreign minister He Yafei said: despite differences in political ideology, there could still be opportunities for long-term cooperation. “Multilateralism, I will say, is very much needed at this critical moment,” he said. “For China, the US and the EU, all of us should rethink who we are and what roles we can play in the future.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3109496/us-china-relations-trump-divisions-could-haunt-biden US-China relations: Trump divisions could haunt Biden presidency]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Biden referred to the [[genocide]] of the [[Uyghur]] people as a cultural norm&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/02/joe-biden-excuses-uyghur-genocide-just-chinese-cultural-norm-spreading-ccp-propaganda/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and called the sovereign republic of Taiwan a &amp;quot;renegade province&amp;quot; of Communist China.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://thetaiwantimes.com/president-biden-calls-uyghur-genocide-in-xinjiang-different-norm/ President Biden Calls Uyghur Genocide In Xinjiang “Different Norm”]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Tarareade2.png|right|300px|thumb|Biden and Tara Reade.

Tara Reade is a former aide to Senator Joseph R. Biden.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmVUQ7ii3_4&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Reade filed sexual penetration and assault charges against Biden.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-woman-who-accused-biden-of-sexual-assault-files-criminal-complaint-with-police/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Biden, a supposed [[women's rights]] advocate and author of the [[Violence Against Women Act]] which the [[Supreme Court]] found unconstitutional, is the original founder of the 'Believe All Women' movement when in 1991 he hastily arranged the [[racial]]ly-motivated [[Anita Hill]] hearings to against [[Justice Clarence Thomas]].  [[Washington, D.C.]] [[police]] are actively investigating the allegations of [[rape]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/reade-sexual-assault-allegation-against-biden-remains-open-investigation-says-d-c-police&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reade has been trying to tell her story since it happened in 1993. It's a story about sexual assault, digital penetration which is [[rape]], retaliation, and silencing. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then in January 2020 Reade tried to come forward again. This time she contacted Times Up Now, the sexual harassment organization. Ryan Grim at ''The Intercept'' reported the organization claimed they could not help her because Joe Biden was a candidate for federal office and supporting a case against him could jeopardize their nonprofit status.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://theintercept.com/2020/03/24/joe-biden-metoo-times-up/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  They also pointed out that the public relations firm that works on behalf of the Times Up Now Legal Defense Fund is SKD Knickerbocker, and SKDKnickerbocker managing director is former [[Obama]] [[White House]]  Communication's director, the notorious [[Maoist]] and [[liberal]] apologist for [[mass murder]], [[Anita Dunn]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14tfnIkQ-qU&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Dunn is the top adviser to Joe Biden.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/04/back-to-the-future-biden-hires-anita-dunn-former-obama-adviser-who-praised-mao/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In other words, Times Up Now, an alleged women's support group, and Anita Dunn will take political dirt on their enemies, and give a heads up to their allies. In the case of Tara Reade, Dunn used Reade to vault herself into Biden's inner orbit and a cushy job in the future Biden administration.  It was no surprise when Biden appointed Dunn his chief advisor in January 2020 before the [[2020 New Hampshire Democratic primary]], since Dunn now had the goods on Biden.  Given Biden's mental incapacity questions have surged as to who really is in charge.  Anita Dunn, the woman who considers the greatest mass murderer the planet has ever known as her &amp;quot;favorite philosopher', appears to hold that trusted position.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reade's allegations against Biden have been publicly corroborated by multiple people with whom she discussed the incident in the mid-1990s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.businessinsider.com/former-neighbor-corroborates-joe-bidens-accuser-2020-4&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  When Reade first came forward in April 2019 along with 7 other accusers, Sen. Kamala Harris said, &amp;quot;I believe them and I respect them being able to tell their story and having the courage to do it.''&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/KingsleyCortes/status/1254863230054199296&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On August 20, 2021 Biden claimed the U.S. went to Afghanistan to destroy al Qaeda, and had done so. Less than an hour later, a Pentagon spokesman contradicted him and said al Qaeda still existed in Afghanistan.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nypost.com/2021/08/20/biden-stumbles-with-afghan-questions-says-americans-can-reach-kabul/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  His assurance that the [[Taliban]] promised people with U.S. passports were being cleared through Taliban checkpoints was immediately contradicted by the State Department.  When asked by [[ABC News]]' [[George Stephanopoulos]]: “Your military advisers did not tell you, ‘we should just keep 2,500 troops. It’s been a stable situation for the last several years. We can do that. We can continue to do that’?&amp;quot; Biden insisted, “No. No one said that to me that I can recall.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1442877015183421447&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Under oath [[CENTCOM]] commander Gen.

The fact of the matter is, I have not seen that. As a matter of fact, the exact opposite I've got.&amp;quot;  In the real world, the European Parliament Committee on Foreign Affairs held a virtual session and Josep Borrell, high representative of the EU for foreign affairs and security policy and vice president of the European Commission, branded the situation in Afghanistan &amp;quot;a catastrophe.&amp;quot;  Former UK prime minister [[Theresa May]] said  &amp;quot;What does it say about NATO if we are entirely dependent on a unilateral decision taken by the United States? ...

Hours before the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan's capital on Aug. 15, 2021, senior Biden administration officials were still discussing and assigning basic actions involved in a mass civilian evacuation.&lt;br /&gt;
Outsiders were frustrated and suspicious the administration was having plenty of meetings but was stuck in bureaucratic inertia and lacked urgency until the last minute.&lt;br /&gt;
While the word &amp;quot;immediately&amp;quot; peppers the document, it's clear officials were still scrambling to finalize their plans — on the afternoon of Aug. 14.&lt;br /&gt;
For example, they'd just decided they needed to notify local Afghan staff &amp;quot;to begin to register their interest in relocation to the United States,&amp;quot; the document says.&lt;br /&gt;
And they were still determining which countries could serve as transit points for evacuees.&lt;br /&gt;
The big picture: President Biden was determined to end the country's involvement in its longest war, and last April he announced his plans to withdraw all U.S. forces from Afghanistan by Sept. 11, 2021.&lt;br /&gt;
President Trump had previously cut a deal for a U.S. withdrawal by May 2021&lt;br /&gt;

{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Harris’ team is experiencing low morale, porous lines of communication and diminished trust among aides and senior officials....22 current and former vice presidential aides, administration officials and associates of Harris and Biden described a tense and at times dour office atmosphere. Aides ....created an insular environment where ideas are ignored or met with harsh dismissals and decisions are dragged out. Often, they said, she refuses to take responsibility for delicate issues and blames staffers for the negative results that ensue.... “It all starts at the top,” said one of the administration officials, who like others requested anonymity to be able to speak candidly about a sensitive matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“People are thrown under the bus from the very top, there are short fuses and it’s an abusive environment,” said another person with direct knowledge of how Harris’ office is run. “It’s not a healthy environment and people often feel mistreated. It’s not a place where people feel supported but a place where people feel treated like s---.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The dysfunction in the VP’s ranks threatens to complicate the White House’s carefully crafted image as a place staffed by a close-knit group of professionals working in concert to advance the president’s agenda. It’s pronounced enough that members of the president’s own team have taken notice and are concerned about the way Harris’ staffers are treated....for some of the people who know Harris best, it’s become an all-too-familiar pattern for a politician who has churned through several iterations of staff on her rise and took office with a team almost entirely new to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just six months in, some of those aides in the Office of the Vice President said they are eyeing other employment opportunities. Others have left already. ...The morale level for current Harris staffers is “rough” and in many ways similar to the failed presidential campaign and her Senate office, according to the former Senate aide.&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Aides describe Harris as unpredictable and at times demeaning to her staff.

&lt;br /&gt;
==Facebook collusion==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Biden family has a long relationship with Facebook dating back to 2010, and the ability to get critics banned.  There also has been a revolving door of employees between the Obama and Biden regimes, campaign organizations, consultants, and Biden family enterprises.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On October 10, 2010,  Hunter Biden emailed Arlene Busch, a partner at Rosemont Seneca, the firm set up to sell access and influence to Vice President Joe Biden.  The subject of the email was his relationship with [[Chris Kelly]], Mark Zuckerberg's right-hand-man.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chris is worth about $350 MILLION. He remains Mark Zuckerberg’s closest adviser.png|right|350px|thumb|&amp;quot;Chris is worth about $350 MILLION. He remains Mark Zuckerberg’s closest adviser....He is more tied to Silicon Valley money than anyone I know and is looking for places to put his money.&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;I brought Chris Kelly to lunch. We can talk in more detail tomorrow about the meeting, but just to be clear– Chris is worth about $350 MILLION. He remains [[Mark Zuckerberg]]’s closest adviser and was the first person outside of programers Facebook hired.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is more tied to [[Silicon Valley]] money than anyone I know and is looking for places to put his money. H[e] just spent $10 MILLION of his own money on race for AG  in Dem primary without blinking.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://ballotpedia.org/Chris_Kelly_(entrepreneur)#Elections&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Kelly just dumped $10 million of his own money in a failed primary contest against Kamala Harris for Attorney General of California.  Days later, a Kelly flunky emailed Hunter asking what favor he could do.  Hunter wanted a critic's account on Facebook taken down.&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“Hi Mr. Biden, Chris Kelly forwarded me your message about a Facebook profile that you’re trying to get shut down?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To which Hunter Biden replied:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Thanks Adam—I will get info to you ASAP.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adam replied, saying, “Thank you”.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://loomered.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/image-8.png&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Two days later the Facebook flunky confirmed the hit against a third party had been carried out.&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“Mr. Biden,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have removed the fake profile. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

In 2012 Eric Schwerin, who formally headed up the partnership with Chinese Communists, devised a scheme to milk money out of Facebook and other Silicon Valley Democrats for then Delaware Attorney General [[Beau Biden]]:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“Does it make sense to reach out to Chris Kelly (maybe in an email from Hunter) and ask him to suggest a  number of Silicon Valley Dem Types that we should invite to Beau’s party? I am sure he would encourage them to come and giving him some ownership of that group might not be a bad idea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Any complications vis a vis [[Kamala Harris]] and Chris? I assume they are all good?”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Kamala Harris and Chris Kelly had opposed each other in 2010 California Attorney General Democratic primary. https://ballotpedia.org/California_Attorney_General_election,_2010#Democratic_primary&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hunter Biden replied to this email saying, “Very good idea”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Schwerin replied, saying, : &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Great. I’ll draft an email and send it from Hunter. Hunter, if you want to see it first, let me know. Otherwise, we’ll send it off tomorrow.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://loomered.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/image-11.png&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Klain rigged elections.jpg|right|350px|thumb|Biden [[chief of staff]] [[Ron Klain]] publicly agrees that elections are rigged.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after Hunter got on the payroll of Burisma, Secretary of State John Kerry's [[chief-of-staff]] gave Schwerin a heads up that ''Wall Street Journal'' reporters were poking around in the deal:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“FYI, at David Wade’s&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://loomered.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Screen-Shot-2020-12-17-at-10.09.47-PM-525x1024.png&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; urging I spoke to the WSJ [Wall Street Journal] on background tonight. They were about to run with a story that said Rosemont Seneca had invested in Burisma. Told them that was not the case. Didn’t say much else. Not sure what else they were going with but they were apparently asking questions about ownership as well. Probably going to run tonight. Didn’t seem too concerning to me.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://loomered.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/image-13-1024x576.png&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
David Wade at the time was Kerry's chief-of-staff. Wade previously was Joe Biden press secretary during the [[2008 presidential campaign]]. In 2017 Wade became a PR consultant for Rosemont Seneca and Hunter Biden to handle all the negative publicity regarding Joe and Hunter Biden raking off $166,000 per month in [[kickback]]s from Burisma.  In the 2020 election cycle Wade went to work for Facebook.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The same day as the Schwerin email about Wade and the ''Wall Street Journal'', other members of the Washington press corp were probing the issue of the Biden family's conflict of interest and influence peddling, as well. At the State Department, junior propagandist Jen Psaki was asked by Matt Lee of the ''[[Associated Press]]'':&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|Lee: “Does this building diplomatically have any concerns about potential perceptions of conflict or [[cronyism]] – which is what you’ve often accused the Russians of doing?”&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Paski: “No, he’s a private citizen.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4819961/hunter-biden-ukraine-joe-biden-conflict-interest-13-2014&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
On October 14, 2020, three weeks before the 2020 presidential election, Twitter and Facebook locked the account of the ''[[New York Post]]'' and limited their ability to share and post news stories after the ''New York Post'' published a bombshell report detailing some of Hunter Biden’s emails proving that Hunter Biden introduced his father, Joe Biden, to a top Ukranian energy firm executive from [[Burisma]] while Joe Biden was [[vice president]].  This was evidence Joe Biden used his influence as vice president to enrich his family through lucrative business deals with foreign nations like Ukraine and China, compromising the integrity of the vice presidency, as well as US [[national security]].  Facebook’s Policy Communication’s Director [[Andy Stone]] said,&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“While I will intentionally not link to the New York Post, I want to be clear that this story is eligible to be fact-checked by Facebook’s third-party fact-checking partners. This is part our standard process to reduce the spread of misinformation. We temporarily reduce distribution pending fact-checker review.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/andymstone/status/1316395902479872000&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Before working for Facebook, Andy Stone worked for the Democrat’s House Majority PAC as well at the [[Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee]] (DCCC), which is a clear [[conflict of interest]] during an election year.  Facebook and their executives made the pre-emptive decision to label the ''New York Post''‘s Hunter Biden story as factually incorrect and limited the publishing ability of the ''New York Post''’s account before they even “fact checked” the already factually correct article.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://loomered.com/2020/12/17/exclusive-hunter-biden-emails-reveal-founder-of-facebooks-dc-office-banned-accounts-at-bidens-request-as-family-made-millions-from-silicon-valley-dems/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

:{{See also|Cloward-Piven strategy|Voter fraud|Ballot harvesting|2020 Voter fraud timeline}}&lt;br /&gt;
The probability of mail-in voter fraud creating chaos after Election Day, November 3, 2020, is very real.  Some states may force residents to use mail-in ballots during the current health emergency.  Voting by mail makes it easier to commit [[fraud]], intimidate voters, and destroy the protections of the secret ballot.  Without the oversight of election and polling officials, mail-in ballots are the ballots most vulnerable to being altered, stolen, or forged.  Fraud by duplicate voting can occur, once by absentee or mail-in ballot, and then again in person.  Employees of private companies hired to contact and register voters have been known to change party affiliations of voters and forge signatures on voter registration forms, among other things.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Democrats want to tilt elections in their favor outside the ballot box, [[Marc Elias]] of [[Perkins Coie]] is the go-to guy.  Perkins Coie is the Democratic law firm, paid by [[2016 Hillary Clinton campaign|the Hillary Clinton campaign]], that hired [[Fusion GPS]] to dig up dirt on Donald Trump in 2016. They failed, but still compiled the ''[[Steele dossier]]'' full of foreign-solicited lies about Trump and Russia, which was leaked by Obama intelligence officials to try to sabotage the new president’s administration, sow doubt in his election victory, and invalidate the votes of 63 million Americans.  From [[Wisconsin]] to [[Nevada]], to [[California]], Marc Elias and the Democrats pushed lawsuits disguised as “election reform” to water down important election safeguards and increase the opportunity for fraud, abuse, and corruption.  In August 2020 ''[[Politico]]'' reported,&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox|[[File:Early morning ballot dumps Nov. 4, 2020.png|right|350px|thumb|Four highly anomalous ballot dumps highlighted in yellow account for the &amp;quot;win&amp;quot; in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia and represent forty-two electoral votes.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://votepatternanalysis.substack.com/p/voting-anomalies-2020&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]][[Coronavirus]] has turned the Democratic Party’s voter contact program, one operative said, into something more like a tech support operation than a traditional door-knocking effort.....[[Priorities USA]], the Democratic super PAC, is spending $24 million on voter mobilization, which includes vote-by-mail education. Fair Fight, a group founded by [[Stacey Abrams]], has rolled out voter protection programs in 17 states....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump’s recent attacks on the USPS and on mail-voting is raising concern among voters, operatives say.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We've seen such an increase from young people in terms of concern about their ballot casting,” said Jared DeLoof, the states director of [[NextGen America]], which targets younger voters. “They want to vote, they want to make sure that that vote is going to count.” [...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Democrats believe they will also have to follow up with some voters after their ballot has been cast, in an effort to help them fix ballots that have been rejected for technical reasons. State rules vary widely on if or how voters can correct their ballots, and the time windows to do so can be short.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Democrat campaigns and groups navigate the patchwork of state rules governing mail ballots to encourage turnout, Democrat election attorney Marc Elias is trying to change many of those rules.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:2020-11-04.jpg|left|300px|thumb|]]&lt;br /&gt;
This is the other half of the party’s vote-by-mail efforts: a sprawling legal effort that spans every battleground state and is costing tens of millions of dollars. Priorities USA, just one of Elias’ clients, has expanded its voting litigation budget to $32 million.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“One of the features of vote by mail is that between the point that the voter cast the ballot and the point that the ballot is counted, several things have to go right,” Elias said in an interview. “One is that the ballot has to be received by the election officials in time. ... And the second is that the ballot needs to be verified and accepted.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elias, who was the lead attorney in former Sen. [[Al Franken]]’s (D-Minn.) 2008 recount victory and the general counsel for [[Hillary Clinton]] and John Kerry’s presidential campaigns, is pursuing what he calls “four pillars” of legal changes to election laws during coronavirus. The first, that mail ballots should include paid postage with them, has some cross-partisan support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other three do not, locking Elias in a wide-range legal fight with Republicans all over the country, including the Republican National Committee and its legal budget of at least $20 million. Those fights are over Elias’ push to mandate that states count ballots postmarked by Election Day but received after the fact; overhauling signature matching laws, which Elias derides as based on pseudoscience; and allowing for third parties to collect and turn in voters’ sealed absentee ballots, which Democrats call “community collection” and Republicans largely deride as “[[ballot harvesting]].”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“One thing you do is you make sure that people whose ballot is being challenged based on signature matching, that the people that are doing that have been trained, are applying uniform non-discriminatory standards. And most importantly, the voter is notified and has an opportunity to cure,” Elias said of his legal strategy. (A cure process mandates that a state contacts voters whose ballots have been rejected to give them the ability to fix — or cure — their ballot.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Several Democrat-backed lawsuits have also pushed to expand who can cast absentee ballots. In 44 states, any voter can, at a minimum, request an absentee ballot if they choose to do so, and some states have changed that requirement as a response to the pandemic. [...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Republicans argue that allowing for outside parties to collect and deliver ballots could lead to coercion or fraud. [...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on how close the races for the White House and battleground Senate seats are, &amp;quot;we could be headed for a ''[[Bush v. Gore]]'' situation in every battleground state, depending how close the results are.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/21/democrats-vote-by-mail-plan-399671&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
The RNC and the Trump campaign pushed back against the Democrats’ assault on the integrity of elections. All across the country, Democrats tried to use coronavirus and the courts to legalize ballot harvesting, implement a nationwide mail-in ballot system, and eliminate nearly every safeguard in our elections.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One in five mail in ballots have been rejected in several 2020 elections. Nearly two-thirds (62%) say there is fraud in U.S. elections, and that fraud would concern them under Democrats’ nationwide mail-in ballot system. Americans overwhelmingly approve of the safeguards Democrats are suing to eliminate like signature matching (84%), voter identification (80%), and a ballot receipt deadline of election day (83%). Voters also oppose (67%) allowing campaign workers to collect mail-in ballots, also known as ballot harvesting.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.protectthevote.com/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Neustar===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Sussman.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Origins of Trump-Russia conspiracy hoax]]&lt;br /&gt;

According to Durham, Neustar’s chief technology officer, Rodney Joffe, accessed sensitive web traffic data that the company maintained on behalf of the White House executive office in order to collect &amp;quot;derogatory&amp;quot; information about Donald Trump. Joffe allegedly provided the information to Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer [[Michael Sussmann]], who in turn gave it to the CIA.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://technofog.substack.com/p/the-unstated-scandal-the-cia-collected&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Durham alleged that Joffe and his associates &amp;quot;mined&amp;quot; Trump White House traffic data &amp;quot;for the purpose of gathering derogatory information about Donald Trump.&amp;quot;  Clinton campaign lawyers told campaign officials, including Jake Sullivan, about the Alfa Bank claims.

At 2:30 AM EDT of the 4th of November 2020, TV broadcasts reported that Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada and Georgia decided to cease vote counting operations and would continue the following day. This unanimous decision to initially and intentionally stop counting by all five battleground states was unprecedented, and it demonstrates prior coordination by election officials in battleground states.  This allowed for more time to manufacture fraudulent ballots.&lt;br /&gt;

An independent forensic audit of Dominion Voting Systems machines used in [[Michigan]] concluded: &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“The Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results.  ...The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, transparency, and no audit trail.

The firm partnered with the Thornton Group run by James Bulger, and the Bank of China, to form [[Bohai Harvest RST]] (BHR) in China. [[Devon Archer]] is a longtime friend of former Secretary of State John Kerry and of stepson Chris Heinz and James Bulger, the nephew of notorious Boston gangster [[Whitey Bulger]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Whitey Bulger was the head of the [[Boston]] Irish [[mafia]] who enjoyed federal protection under FBI director [[Robert Mueller]] as an informant.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2335614/Trial-Boston-mob-boss-James-Whitey-Bulger-gets-underway-family-victims-say-look-eye.html&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Bulger was convicted of 19 murders that occurred while under Mueller's protection; some have linked the Bulger clan to as many as 52 murders while Mueller was U.S. Attorney in Boston.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;https://www3.bostonglobe.com/metro/1970/01/19/one-lingering-question-for-fbi-director-robert-mueller/613uW0MR7czurRn7M4BG2J/story.html?arc404=true&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Whitey Bulger was murdered in prison at the age of 89 a few months before the Mueller Report was released.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Archer was convicted in 2022 and sentenced to one year in prison for defrauding a [[Native American]] tribe.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theepochtimes.com/hunter-biden-associate-devon-archer-sentenced-to-one-year-one-day-in-jail_4307513.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Vice President [[Joe Biden]] oversaw the disbursement of $1 billion allocated by the U.S. to the new government of Ukraine. In 2014, Biden's son Hunter Biden, was appointed to the board of directors of Burisma Holdings, the largest oil and gas company in Ukraine. Hunter Biden was hired by [[Mykola Zlochevsky]], who served as Ukraine's ecology minister in the previous administration. Hunter Biden was paid $166,000 per month. The money was split with the nephew of [[Whitey Bulger]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zlochevsky came under investigation by the new administration for alleged embezzlement of $5 billion while ecology minister. The prosecutor traced payments made to Hunter Biden. Vice President Biden threatened the new Ukrainian administration to withhold $1 billion in U.S. allocated funds unless the prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden was fired.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/09/world/europe/corruption-ukraine-joe-biden-son-hunter-biden-ties.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Biden bragged about having caused the firing of the Ukraine prosecutor to a [[CFR]] conference.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
U.S. banking records show Hunter Biden's firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC, received regular transfers — usually more than $166,000 a month — from Burisma from spring 2014 through fall 2015, during a period when Joe Biden was the main U.S. official dealing with Ukraine. Biden threatened Ukrainian President [[Petro Poroshenko]] that the [[Obama administration]] would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending Ukraine toward insolvency, if it didn't immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin who was investigating his son, Hunter. Biden recounted, &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;'You’re not getting the billion'. I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money'...Well, [SOB], he got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;thehill.com&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/436816-joe-bidens-2020-ukrainian-nightmare-a-closed-probe-is-revived&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.cfr.org/event/foreign-affairs-issue-launch-former-vice-president-joe-biden&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Yuriy Lutsenko, who replaced Shokin as the prosecutor looking into Burisma, said the evidence in the Burisma case he'd like to present to [[William Barr]], particularly the vice president's intervention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Between April 2014 and October 2015, more than $3 million was paid out by Burisma to an account linked to Biden's and [[Devon Archer]]'s Rosemont Seneca firm, according to the financial records placed in a federal court file in Manhattan in another case against Archer. The bank records show that, on most months when Burisma money flowed, two-wire transfers of $83,333.33 each were sent to the Rosemont Seneca–connected account on the same day. The same Rosemont Seneca–linked account typically then paid Hunter Biden one or more payments ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 each. Ukrainian prosecutors reviewed internal company documents and wanted to interview Hunter Biden and Archer about why they had received such payments, but couldn't because of Joe Biden's intervention.  In a text message from Hunter Biden to his daughter Naomi, Hunter said their father, &amp;quot;Pop&amp;quot;, takes 50% of his salary.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.redstate.com/scotthounsell/2020/10/15/october-surprise-giuliani-reveals-texts-from-hunter-saying-biden-got-half-of-his-contracts/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/10/rudy-giuliani-releases-text-message-hunter-biden-daughter-naomi-unlike-pop-joe-biden-wont-make-give-half-salary-video/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Russian collusion===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2014 Hunter Biden colluded with, and received $3.5 million in payment from the widow of former Moscow and the richest woman in Russia.  The $3.5 million payment from [[Elena Baturina]] was for helping to establish a bank account in the United States for her.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/missionquestfpb/shock-man-who-had-hunter-biden-s-laptop-suggests-t-t10669-s2420.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Baturina eventually laundered $39 million through American banks, with the help of [[Rosemont Seneca]], of funds stolen from contractors while her husband Yury Luzhkov was mayor of Moscow. In late 2019 Baturina was declared a fugitive from justice by a Russian court.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.rferl.org/a/russian-court-declares-late-moscow-mayor-s-widow-wanted-after-failure-to-appear/30348065.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

We did it in [[Vietnam]], [[Nixon]] and [[Kissinger]] got away with it.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9901577/F-k-Biden-told-Obamas-special-representative-Afghanistan-obligations.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The government likewise is bound to protect their identities against reprisals.  In boasting of the killing, Biden named Seal Team 6 by name as the unit that found bin Laden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On August 6, 2011, the Taliban ambushed a Chinook helicopter carrying 30 U.S. service members — including 15 SEAL Team 6 members — in [[Afghanistan]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2013/05/09/military-families-allege-muslim-cleric-damned-dead-navy-seals-at-ceremony/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;   Everyone on board was killed.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jun/7/the-betrayal-of-the-navys-seal-team-6/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  In a show of [[multiculturalism]], the [[Obama administration]] insisted a [[Muslim]] cleric be present when the bodies were recovered.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://joemiller.us/2013/05/seal-team-6-press-conference-obama-at-fault-muslim-cleric-prayed-at-funeral-damned-them-to-hell/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Families of the slain SEAL members held a news conference at the National Press Club demanding an investigation into why their sons had been identified, despite specific assurances by the Obama administration their identities would be protected.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://joemiller.us/2013/05/navy-seal-team-vi-families-to-reveal-obama-admin-s-culpability-in-death-of-sons/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; To add insult, the families complained about the Muslim cleric that the Obama administration required to preside in a ceremony over their remains, damned their souls to hell as infidels in an Islamic prayer proclaiming victory.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S7h5PO3r-w&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Bowe Bergdahl swap====&lt;br /&gt;
:{{See also|Obama war crimes}}&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Barack Obama]] released five Taliban commanders from the [[Guantanamo Bay]] prison in exchange for American deserter Bowe Bergdahl in 2014, he assured Americans that the enemy combatants would not be allowed to return to Afghanistan.  6 American soldiers lives were lost searching for the American deserter.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nypost.com/2014/06/02/six-soldiers-died-searching-for-deserter-pow-fueling-backlash/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Upon Bergdahl's return, Obama celebrated Bergdahl as a heroic “POW,” a designation the Pentagon never gave him.  Khairullah Khairkhwa, one of the five released from Guantanamo, sat across the table from Joe Biden’s personal representative in [[Moscow]] in the spring of 2021, where Mullah Khairkhwa was part of the Taliban delegation that negotiated the terms of the US withdrawal.  Mullah Khairkhwa is the mastermind of the Taliban takeover, even though the Pentagon classified Khairkhwa as too dangerous to release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Khairkhwa assured the Biden junta that the Taliban would not retaliate against Afghans who worked with the US military or the US-backed government in Kabul.  However, reports out of Kandahar and Kabul soon after the fall of Afghanistan indicate the Taliban was going door to door with a kill list to wipe out their enemies.  Mullah Khairkhwa previously served as the Taliban’s interior minister prior to 2002, where he oversaw Islamist punishments, including beheadings and stonings.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; https://nypost.com/2021/08/16/taliban-leader-was-freed-from-guantanamo-in-2014-swap-by-obama/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The same year Biden authored an amendment to gut Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. ''[[Politico]]'' writes of the whole sordid affair, {{quotebox-float|Biden morphed into a leading anti-busing crusader—all the while continuing to insist that he supported the goal of school desegregation, he only opposed busing as the means to achieve that end. This stance, which many of Biden’s liberal and moderate colleagues also held, was clever but disingenuous.

Sen. James Abourezk of [[South Dakota]] related how Biden reacted when Abrourezek tried to block the amendment:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|‘Abourezk, you **********, if I ever vote for another one of your bills, it'll be a cold day in hell.'&lt;br /&gt;

‘Calm down, Joe,' I told him, ‘You're eventually gonna thank me for doing this.'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‘Like hell I will you dirty *******.'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few days later, Biden came into the scheduled committee meeting, this time with a broad, friendly grin aimed directly at me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‘Jesus, Abourezk, you were right,' he said. ‘I am gonna thank you. You should see the Delaware newspapers—big front-page headlines saying, ‘Biden Battles Liberals in Washington.'

''The New York Times'' published a lengthy story on Biden's advocacy of segregation.  In a 1977 congressional hearing related to anti-desegregation orders, Biden emphasized,&lt;br /&gt;

Republican Sen. [[Edward Brooke]], the first black senator ever to be popularly elected, called Biden's amendment “the greatest symbolic defeat for [[civil rights]] since 1964.”  Brooke accused Biden of leading an assault on integration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prof. Ronnie Dunn said opposition to busing was motivated by [[racism]] and that without the court-ordered policy Biden probably would not have become vice president in 2009. “What I find ironic is that [Biden] was the vice president under a president who, if it hadn’t been for the social interaction that occurred during the era of busing, I argue we likely would not have seen the election of Barack Obama.&amp;quot; Dunn, an Urban Studies professor at Cleveland State University and author of the book ''Boycotts, Busing, &amp;amp; Beyond'', said Biden made the case in favor of maintaining segregation. &amp;quot;That was an argument against desegregation.” Dunn said Biden must address the issue if he runs for president. “People have to be held accountable.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/joe-biden-embraced-segregation-in-1975-claiming-it-was-a-matter-of-black-pride&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When Biden announced his candidacy ''Politico'' attempted to poo-poo and explain away Biden and liberal Democrat racism with a back-handed slap at [[school vouchers]] for minority students, which liberal elites have strenuously opposed ever since the Biden Amendment passed: &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|School desegregation, as part of a broader suite of civil rights reforms, was once as a vital component of the Democratic Party platform.

Party leaders, even the most progressive among them, rarely propose serious solutions to this vexing problem. A sincere critique of Biden’s busing record would require a broader reckoning of the Democratic Party’s—and by extension the nation’s—abandonment of this central goal of the [[civil rights movement]]. And it’s hard to see that happening anytime soon.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/05/05/joe-biden-busing-problem-226791&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{quotebox-float|The day the Bidens took over Paradigm Global Advisors was a memorable one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the late summer of 2006 [[Joe Biden]]’s son Hunter and Joe’s younger brother, James, purchased the firm. On their first day on the job, they showed up with Joe’s other son, Beau, and two large men and ordered the hedge fund’s chief of compliance to fire its president, according to a Paradigm executive who was present.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the firing, the two large men escorted the fund’s president out of the firm’s midtown [[Manhattan]] office, and James Biden laid out his vision for the fund’s future. “Don’t worry about investors,” he said, according to the executive, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, citing fear of retaliation. “We've got people all around the world who want to invest in Joe Biden.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the time, the senator was just months away from both assuming the chairmanship of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and launching his second presidential bid. According to the executive, James Biden made it clear he viewed the fund as a way to take money from rich foreigners who could not legally give money to his older brother or his campaign account. “We've got investors lined up in a line of 747s filled with cash ready to invest in this company,” the executive remembers James Biden saying.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/08/02/joe-biden-investigation-hunter-brother-hedge-fund-money-2020-campaign-227407&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

Emails from Hunter Biden's laptop reveal Joe and Hunter shared bank accounts and paid each other's bills.  Emails between Hunter and Eric Schwerin, Hunter's business partner at Rosemont Seneca, show Schwerin was working on Joe Biden's taxes.  Hunter complained that 'half' of his salary went to paying his father's bills while he was VP, casting doubt on Joe's previous claims that he's never benefited from his son's business dealings.  In December 2020 Hunter admitted in a public statement that he was under federal investigation over his tax affairs.  The FBI and [[IRS]] probe is reportedly also looking into Hunter's foreign business relationships and the potential for money laundering charges.  The Senate Homeland Security Committee issued a report raising fears that the Chinese government was attempting to influence the White House through a billion-dollar business deal between Hunter's company he co-founded with Schwerin, Rosemont Seneca, and Chinese oil giant CEFC.  The Biden's were offered $30 million for introductions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nypost.com/2021/11/28/chinese-titan-lavished-hunter-biden-with-3-carat-gem-offer-of-30-million/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In yet more evidence of the deep commercial relationship between Hunter's firm and the Vice President's office during JoeBiden's tenure, Rosemont Seneca received special favors from the White House while Joe Biden was in office, including dozens of tickets to exclusive White House events and private tours for Rosemont Seneca clients or associates.  When an aide to Sen. [[Robert Menendez]] requested VP Biden host the U.S.-Spain Council's 2010 annual meeting at his official Naval Observatory residence in Washington DC, they contacted Schwerin rather than Biden's White House office.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hunter and Schwerin then privately discussed the potential to ingratiate themselves with 'CEOs of the major banks' if they helped arrange the request.  Schwerin was also involved in the process of gifting Biden's senate papers to the University of Delaware. A member of the VP's office, Katherina Oyama, wrote to Schwerin in March 2010 detailing the restrictions Joe's White House attorney was recommending over the public release of the papers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Schwerin made repeated references to Joe and Hunter paying each other's bills, in emails on Hunter's laptop.  On June 5, 2010 he wrote: 'FYI, there are a few outstanding bills that need to be paid and I am not sure which ones are a priority and which should get paid out of 'my' account and which should be put on hold or paid out of the 'Wilmington Trust Social Security Check Account.  In June 2010  he wrote: 'Mike Christopher [builder] is hassling me so I am paying a couple of the smaller things since I haven't heard from your Dad. Know he's busy — so it's OK.  There is about $2,000 extra in 'my' account beyond what is used for monthly expenses.'  Later that month he wrote: 'Mike Christopher [a construction worker Joe hired] is hassling me so I am paying a couple of the smaller things since I haven't heard from your Dad. Know he's busy — so it's OK.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shared bank accounts with Hunter===&lt;br /&gt;
Biden's son Hunter is known for his prolific use of the &amp;quot;n&amp;quot; word&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9661781/Hunter-Biden-used-n-word-multiple-times-casual-conversation-text-messages-show.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and boasts of smoking crack with ex-D.C. mayor [[Marion Barry]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://therightscoop.com/listen-media-darling-hunter-biden-laughing-it-up-about-racism-and-mlk-smoking-crack-with-marion-barry/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Barry was arrested while smoking crack as D.C. mayor in 1991.  Hunter Biden used a racial slur to refer to [[Asian]]s in text messages with his cousin Caroline Biden, who asked if he preferred &amp;quot;foreign or domestic&amp;quot; women.  Hunter referred to Asians with the offensive term &amp;quot;yellow.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thepostmillennial.com/revealed-hunter-biden-used-asian-slur-when-discussing-his-sex-life&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:BidenRobSavage.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Hunter Biden used a joint bank account with Joe Biden to pay a Russian escort service.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://redstate.com/shipwreckedcrew/2021/06/23/new-book-about-hunter-bidens-laptop-joe-paid-for-the-hookers-and-blow-n401169&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
One night in May 2018, Hunter attempted to pay a Russian escort service $8000 for an extended bender at the Chateau Marmont on Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills with a debit card.  The transaction didn't go through. So Hunter tried two more times with two other debit cards, one being a joint account with his father, Joe.  The transactions he thought failed eventually went through, one after the other. The first $8,000 is recorded leaving his account at 10:22 a.m. At 10:50 a.m., $2,000 leaves a different account. At 10:59 a.m., $3,500 vanishes. At 11 a.m., another $8,000. At 11:03 a.m., another $3,500. About $25,000 moved in under an hour. Another $3,500 was scheduled to transfer out later that afternoon but was delayed.  The head of the Los Angeles Secret Service field office, who according to news reports allegedly was retired at the time, showed up at the hotel with Deputy Assistant Director of the Secret Service Dale Pupillo who headed up Joe Biden's protection detail.  Hunter was told that one of the cards he used was linked to “Celtic’s account.”  “Celtic” was the Secret Service’s code name for Joe Biden.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nypost.com/2021/06/22/did-joe-inadvertently-pay-for-hunter-bidens-wild-night-at-chateau-marmont/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hunter had another laptop stolen in the summer of 2018 by a group of Russians he was partying with.  In January 2019, Hunter left the camera rolling after filming himself having sex with a prostitute, he recounted a [[Las Vegas]] bender in which he spent ‘18 days going round from penthouse suite to penthouse suite,’ sometimes costing $10,000 a night.  The video captured Hunter telling the story that during the summer of 2018 he had nearly overdosed while partying with his drug dealer and two other guys. When he came to later, he discovered his laptop was missing.  “I think he’s the one that stole my computer.  I think the three of them, the three guys that were like a little group. The dealer and his two guys, I took them everywhere. They have videos of me doing this....My computer, I had taken tons of like, just left like that cam on, and somebody stole it during that period of time.”  The prostitute then asked Hunter if he worried the Russian thieves would try to “blackmail” him. “Yeah, in some way yeah,” Hunter replied, noting his father is “running for president,” and that “I talk about it all the time.”  Joe Biden announced his candidacy just two months after the first laptop went missing.  When ''The New York Post'' reported on the contents of the Hunter Biden MacBook in Octobeer 2020, “50 former senior intelligence officials,” led by former [[Director of National Intelligence]] [[James Clapper]], “signed on to a letter outlining their belief that the recent disclosure of emails allegedly belonging to Joe Biden’s son ‘has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.’”  Either U.S. intelligence knew of the theft of the first laptop or they didn’t.  Either way, both scenarios are damning.  The FBI had been in possession of Hunter's MacBook seized at tyhe Deleware repair shop since December 2019.  In both instances of the two missing laptops, the intelligence community lied to cover up the scandal.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thefederalist.com/2021/08/13/hunter-bidens-russian-prostitute-videos-indict-both-his-father-and-u-s-intelligence-agencies/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a March 2, 2019, conversation with an employee from Chateau Marmont Hunter recommended prostitutes should unionize.  “You organize without even organizing in any traditional way.  If you want to advertise legally you go through the unions [of which] you’re a member. Your dues are the fees that you pay for advertising. Whomever does this first will be running the largest union in the country.”  Biden added that the people who need these unions the most are the “typical traditionally uneducated minority....It’s like any other job. There are parts of it that really suck. They’re tiring. There are clients that are complete pains in the ass. There’s management that can be really horrible...There’s really bad situations, of course. It’s like any other job. But they dance because they love it.”  Biden added that he has been “telling strippers for 25 years that they should unionize.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/hunter-biden-prostitutes-form-union&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Democrats attempted to destroy American citizens' constitutional rights to bear arms and seize weapons, it was discovered Joe Biden's drug-addicted son, Hunter lied on a background check document in 2018 when he purchased a gun.  Hunter lied about his narcotics use, and the [[Secret Service]] then illegally intervened in a criminal investigation by attempting to seize the documentation before local police and the [[ATF]] could find it.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.politico.com/news/2021/03/25/sources-secret-service-inserted-itself-into-case-of-hunter-bidens-gun-477879&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One text message between Joseph R. Biden and Hunter Biden found on the laptop reads:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|'''Joe Biden:''' This is [name of 14-year-old girl redacted] right&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Legacy==&lt;br /&gt;
:{{See also|Civil Rights in the Biden era}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:You ain't Black.jpeg|right|350px|thumb|Throughout Biden's half-century career Biden never saw or felt shame for belittling Blacks to their faces with racist and insensitive remarks.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/499214-african-american-figures-slam-biden-on-you-aint-black-comments&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Civil Rights movement]] in the Biden era took a daunting turn for the worse.  Under the leadership of Senator and later Democrat president Joseph Biden, the civil rights movement suffered many heartbreaking setbacks.  Beginning with Biden's attack on school desegregation and the Civil Rights Act of 1965, later the mass incarceration of a generation of American American youth, and as president, the setting up of [[concentration camp]]s for immigrant children,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/297967&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Biden re-established what many consider the Democrat party's birthright to dominate and control minorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Biden's &amp;quot;you ain't black&amp;quot; comment targeted at African American [[freethinker]]s was [[voter intimidation]] and summed up his 47 year career as a  Democrat plantation [[Massa|master]].  [[Black Entertainment Television]] (BET) co-founder Bob Johnson noted,&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;This proves unequivocally that the Democratic nominee believes that black people owe him their vote without question; even though we as black people know it is exactly the opposite. He should spend the rest of his campaign apologizing to every black person he meets.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/05/25/joe-biden-you-aint-black-racism-trump-column/5254434002/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Biden's most enduring legacy, however, was bringing 7th century terrorists into the 21st century and equipping them with the most state-of-the-art weaponry to be used against the taxpayers and citizens who paid for and developed those same weapons to protect their civilization.  Some believe Biden's ccomplishment was a warped or distorted form of &amp;quot;progressivism&amp;quot;, but Biden, ever the &amp;quot;social engineer&amp;quot;, considered it &amp;quot;leveling the playing field&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;[[equity]].&amp;quot;  Republican [[George W. Bush]] liberated millions of Afghan women and girls from abuse and captivity,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://2001-2009.state.gov/g/drl/rls/6185.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and was reviled by leftists; Democrat Joseph R. Biden returned Afghan women to servitude and won praise from his fellow leftists.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-oped-afghanistan-what-weve-lost-to-the-taliban-20210814-27hxdykhfffuroq3rgwy5y2o3e-story.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

*The [[Let’s Go Brandon]] [[meme]] became popular after an NBC sports journalist tried to cover the sentiments of [[NASCAR]] fans at the Talledega Superspeedway.  In Dec 2021, Joe Biden and Jill Biden were taking calls from children and their parents to NORAD (which “tracks” [[Santa Claus]]).  A father, speaking in cheerful and respectful tones, ended the call by saying “Merry Christmas and let’s go, Brandon.” And to the delight of Biden’s tens of millions of detractors, Biden echoed those words and added, “I agree.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Andrea Widburg, &amp;quot;[https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/12/as_a_christmas_present_to_america_biden_denounces_himself.html As a Christmas present to America, Biden denounces himself],&amp;quot; American Thinker, 25 Dec, 2021.&lt;br /&gt;

Joe Biden and Mrs. Joe Biden were taking calls from children and their parents to NORAD (which “tracks” Santa Claus). One father, speaking in cheerful and respectful tones, ended the call by saying “Merry Christmas and let’s go, Brandon.” And to the delight of Biden’s tens of millions of detractors, Biden echoed those words and added, “I agree.” His supporters could argue that he was taking the air out of the phrase, but alternative explanations are that he couldn’t hide from the truth or that he was revealing yet another sign of dementia...&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.wnd.com/2021/12/biden-says-go-brandon-agree-christmas-call-kids-parents/ Biden says 'Let's go Brandon, I agree' during Christmas call with kids, parents], WND, Dec 24, 2021&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

*According to the Dutchess of Cornwall Camilla Parker Bowles, while Biden was representing the United States at a global emissions conference with [[Prince Charles]] and UK Prime Minister [[Boris Johnson]], Biden broke wind during an informal meeting. &amp;quot;It was long and loud and impossible to ignore.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10172959/Camilla-stopped-talking-hearing-President-break-wind-chat-Cop26-summit.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

*In July 2006, while speaking to a group of Indian-Americans in Delaware, Biden stated, &amp;quot;You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.

&lt;br /&gt;
*In August 2006, Biden was on [[Fox News]] Sunday and bragged about his state being a former [[slave]] state. &amp;quot;You don't know my state. My state was a slave state. My state is a border state. My state is the eighth largest black population in the country.

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;'''Benjamin Aaron &amp;quot;Ben&amp;quot; Shapiro''' is an American political commentator and the Editor Emeritus of ''[[The Daily Wire]]''. He is the host of one-man political commentary podcast and live radio show &amp;quot;The Ben Shapiro Show&amp;quot;. He was editor-at-large of [[right-wing]] news site [[Breitbart News]] from 2012-2016&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://web.archive.org/web/20190321112046/https://www.dailywire.com/tags/ben-shapiro&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Shapiro is an [[orthodox Jew]], a self-described [[libertarian]] and a [[mainstream conservative]], and is often criticized by true conservatives, who accuse him of being a [[neocon]] and a member of [[Conservative Inc.]] He is the author of 12 books,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://rightsmarts.com/ben-shapiro-books/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the first being 'Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America's Youth' (2004) and the latest being 'The Authoritarian Moment: How the Left Weaponized America's Institutions Against Dissent' (2021). In his most recent book, Shapiro discussed the far-left and socialistic tendencies of [[World Economic Forum|WEF]] globalist [[Klaus Schwab]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;''The Authoritarian Moment'' by Ben Shapiro ISBN 9780063001824&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life==&lt;br /&gt;
Ben Shapiro was born in 1984 in Burbank, California, to two Reagan Republicans&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://townhall.com/author/benshapiro&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. At the age of 12, in 1996, Shapiro played &amp;quot;Schindler's List&amp;quot; on the violin at the Israeli Bonds Banquet hosted by Larry King.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK8mbA083hE&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; At age 17, he became the youngest nationally syndicated columnist in the United States.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://townhall.com/author/benshapiro&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Harassment on ''Dr. Drew On Call''==&lt;br /&gt;
On July 16, 2015, Ben Shapiro was one of several members of a panel on a show called ''Dr. Drew On Call'' along with [[transgender]] activist Robert &amp;quot;Zoey&amp;quot; Tur and entertainment journalist Segun Oduolowu. When host Drew Pinsky asked the three panelists of their opinions on [[Bruce Jenner]]'s achievements and pushing of the transgender agenda, Ben Shapiro pointed out that even though Jenner was a self-declared female, he still has the genetic and biological makeup of a male. While Oduolowu shied away from that part of the discussion after seeking to turn the discussion into a [[Race baiting|race issue]], after Shapiro accidentally called Tur &amp;quot;sir&amp;quot;, he aggressively grabbed Shapiro's neck, stating &amp;quot;You'll cut that out now, or you'll go home in an ambulance&amp;quot;. Shapiro retorted &amp;quot;Yeah, that seems...mildly inappropriate for a political discussion&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DE_WOCHITk&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. The hosts of the show repeatedly blasted and interrupted Shapiro for mentioning facts while barely discouraging violent behavior from Tur. Afterward, Tur threatened Shapiro saying &amp;quot;see you in the parking lot&amp;quot;. Tur doubled down on that threat audibly fantasizing about violently &amp;quot;curb-stomping&amp;quot; Shapiro&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2015/07/22/transgender-reporter-zoey-tur-triples-down-on-threats-against-ben-shapiro/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Tur confirmed his [[anti-Jewish]] [[hatred]] saying &amp;quot;[Ben Shapiro] comes from a very misogynistic cult anyway, where women are treated differently, they’re not allowed to touch men.&amp;quot; in an interview with KFI AM 640's  Bill Carroll.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On July 19, 2015, Ben Shapiro filed an investigative report on Tur to the [[Los Angeles]] Police Department on charges of [[battery]] for grabbing him without his consent&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.scribd.com/doc/272008029/Shapiro-Police-Report&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. According to some discussion forums, the LAPD dismissed the charges because Tur is a member of a &amp;quot;victimized minority&amp;quot;, making [[threats]] of physical violence and unwanted touching okay for them to do&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://law.stackexchange.com/questions/2116/did-zoey-tur-assault-ben-shapiro&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://sportshoop.la/threads/no-assault-battery-charges-for-he-she-zoey-tur.202593/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Far-left]] journalists [[Robin Abcarian]] and John Amato celebrated the crimes committed by Tur&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.latimes.com/local/abcarian/la-me-ra-transgender-zoey-tur-20150724-column.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://crooksandliars.com/2015/07/why-ben-shapiro-twerp-inciting-zoey-tur&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Criticism from Mark Dice==&lt;br /&gt;
Ben Shapiro has faced criticism from many on the Right, who regard him as a member of the Conservative [[Establishment]], also known as [[Conservative Inc.]], namely, conservative [[YouTube]]r and author [[Mark Dice]], who published a video in May of 2021 stating that Shapiro is undeserving of support from conservatives, titled &amp;quot;Ben Shapiro Caught on Hot Mic - Reveals Who He Really Is When He Thinks No One is Listening&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuKgtEtla2c&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. He opens the video stating that &amp;quot;Most mainstream conservatives have gone soft&amp;quot;, and shows Shapiro's off-camera hesitancy to criticize the [[Homosexual Agenda]], displayed during a livestream with his subscribers, when he thought the broadcast was over. In the video, Shapiro displays concern over being &amp;quot;boycotted&amp;quot; and losing sponsors, asking a producer to cut out a clip where he calls pansexuality &amp;quot;weird&amp;quot;. Dice then states that Shapiro is &amp;quot;in the club&amp;quot;, pointing to the fact that he has never had to worry about being censored, banned, or de-platformed from social media, the way many others have. &lt;br /&gt;
Dice goes on to poke fun at Shapiro's college-age fanbase and ridicule his cowardice during a debate with BBC's Andrew Neil, saying &amp;quot;Conservative Inc's greatest debater runs away from his first real debate&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
After, Dice points out that despite Shapiro's claims of being a libertarian who supports limited government, he tweeted that he thinks the federal government should coerce people into getting the [[COVID-19 vaccine]], ignoring [[individual liberty]]. &lt;br /&gt;
Dice makes a point of Shapiro's fervent opposition to [[President Trump]] in 2016, only tepidly supporting him during the [[2020 election]]. Dice says that Shapiro's supposed Trump support was extremely doubtable, considering how hard he was actively working against him initially, and calls his political analysis &amp;quot;permanently flawed&amp;quot;. He then went on to detail Shapiro's smearing of other conservatives along with Trump, calling [[Ron Paul]] &amp;quot;anti-semitic&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;manifestly insane&amp;quot; during the Republican Primaries in 2012. Shapiro would later double down on these claims, calling Trump, Paul, and others, including [[Ann Coulter]], [[Patrick Buchanan|Pat Buchanan]], and [[Alex Jones]], &amp;quot;[[Alt-Right]]-friendly&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
Dice accuses Shapiro of being bankrolled by billionaires, and calls attention to his secret dinner meetings with [[Facebook]] CEO [[Mark Zuckerberg]], as well as his defense from [[YouTube]] CEO Susan Wojcicki.&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, Dice ends with Shapiro's support for homosexual &amp;quot;marriage&amp;quot; and adoption.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Andrew Neil Interview==&lt;br /&gt;
In 2019, Shapiro published the book The Right Side of History: How Reason and Moral Purpose Made the West Great, which focuses on the importance of Judeo-Christian values and laments the decline of those values in modern America. In a May 2019 interview on BBC where Shapiro was promoting his book, interviewer Andrew Neil suggested that Shapiro's history of remarks were inconsistent with the message of the book. Shapiro took offense to the questioning, accused Neil (a prominent British conservative journalist) of having a left-leaning bias, said Neil was trying to make a &amp;quot;quick buck... off of the fact that I'm popular and no one has ever heard of you&amp;quot;, before Shapiro ended the interview. Shapiro later admitted that he had been &amp;quot;destroyed&amp;quot; by Neil, commenting on Twitter that he &amp;quot;[had broken his] own rule, and wasn't properly prepared&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Marine Le Pen]], an immigration reform advocate, was first runner-up in the April 2017 elections in France. The disastrous &amp;quot;[[open borders]]&amp;quot; policy of German incumbent [[Angela Merkel]] earned her the title, 'Mother Terroresia', among critics and voters in Germany's upcoming September elections. Many of 'Merkel's Muslims' wanted for crimes in Germany have fled to neighboring countries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Without consulting voters, the [[globalist]]s of the [[European Union]] have encouraged unrestricted mass migration into Europe from war-torn and impoverished Islamic Republics. A &amp;quot;replacement population,&amp;quot; according to liberals, will sustain the [[welfare state]] without cutting government spending in the face of declining fertility rates among the native populations. Rape has become prevalent, and Europe's [[social democratic]] government's concern for the safety of women and children has been lacking. The Swedish government has not made crime statistics available to the public since 2014 when it was reported that murders committed by foreign immigrants occurred at a rate 400% greater than native Swedes and rapes committed by foreign migrants 550% greater. Additionally, reductions in carbon emissions and efforts to combat [[global warming]] have been used by leftists to justify [[Third World]] immigration. Globalists have used the migration crisis to help wipe out Europe's Christian roots.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Multiple references:&lt;br /&gt;

In the hope and optimism at the close of the [[Cold War]], which some naively labeled &amp;quot;the end of history&amp;quot;, former [[Carter administration]] adviser [[Samuel P. Huntington]] wrote in his book, ''Clash of Civilizations'', that wars in the coming millennium would not be fought between ideologies like [[capitalism]] and [[communism]], but between civilizations, and that Islamic terrorism would be the biggest threat to [[Western civilization]]. Huntington wrote,&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;{{Cquote|&amp;quot;Islam's borders are bloody and so are its innards.&amp;quot;}}&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When the [[9/11 attacks]] first occurred, Huntington was hailed as a prophet by some. But the [[US State Department]] was quick to tamp down the phrase mindful of the futility of winning a &amp;quot;clash of civilizations&amp;quot; against one-quarter of the planet. The [[Bush administration]] spent the next eight years isolating Islamic extremism, defined as a minority of Muslim males, 12 to 28 years old, susceptible to radicalization and recruitment to perform [[Shaheed|suicide attacks]].&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Teralzawahiri.jpg‎|thumbnail|right|250px|thumb|'''The leader of al Qaeda, Ayman Zawahiri'''. Zawahiri's uncle was the leading candidate for Caliph at the 1926 Caliphate Conference in [[Cairo]] which failed to pick a successor and re-establish the Caliphate.]]&lt;br /&gt;
When Barack Hussein Obama became president he spent the next eight years denying Islamic extremism existed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, [[Ayman Zawahiri]], the leader of [[al Qaeda]], gave an interview in 2005 to ''[[Der Spiegel]]'' magazine outlining the global jihad:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.spiegel.de/international/the-future-of-terrorism-what-al-qaida-really-wants-a-369448.html What al-Qaida Really Wants], By Yassin Musharbash, ''Der Spiegel'', 8/12/2005&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;

*'''2000 – 2003''' “The Awakening Phase” in which the West will be provoked (via 9/11) into war with the Islamic world.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Excerpt from [http://islamic-world.net/papers/jihad.htm ''The Final Jihad''] posted on a scholarly Salafi (''Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jam'ah'') website in 2001. &amp;quot;The leaders of the Western world have already specifically identified Islam as the most powerful remaining threat to their way of life since the fall of communism, and have proclaimed this belief to their people. How often are the citizens of Western nations told that Muslims are fanatical terrorists, who have spread Islam across the world by the sword; and, how seldom do they hear the wondrous Truths of Islam, of the Mercy and Compassion of Allah? Let there be no doubt, the goal of the leaders of the Western world is to destroy the power of Islam. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Of course, they are partly right. Islam is the only real threat that exists to their way of life, to the [[Satan|''shaitanic'']] aspects of their culture. Nothing else in this world has any chance of stopping the power of Western secular materialism. Allah gave the people of the world Islam as their religion. (Ed. note: Religion, in this context, means 'government'). Islam is the only way to stop the power of ''shaitan'' to rule this world.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Allah gave us as our responsibility the role of [[Caliph|kalifah]] in this world. The primary role of the kalifah is to fight against the influence of ''shaitan''. This obligation has three parts; we are to perfect ourselves according to the Will of Allah, we are to perfect all society according to the Will of Allah, (Note: the rape of non-Muslim women who refuse to wear the [[hijab]] is part of the process of &amp;quot;perfecting all society to the Will of Allah&amp;quot;), and we are to perfect the physical environment according to the Will of Allah.&amp;quot; (Note: &amp;quot;perfect the physical environment&amp;quot; means to overthrow the House of Saud and seize control of the assets of Saudi Aramco, the oil reserves of the Arabian Penninsula, and control of the Holy Cities of [[Mecca]] and [[Medina]] under a Caliph. It can also be seen as forging temporary alliances with [[climate change]] advocates who likewise are waging war on &amp;quot;Western secular materialism&amp;quot;).&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*'''2004 – 2006''' “The Opening Eyes Phase” in which jihad would become a social movement and experience a huge recruitment drive. The [[Iraq#Insurgency|Iraq insurgency]] became the operational center for a burgeoning army of foreign jihadis.&lt;br /&gt;
*'''2007 – 2010''' “The Arising and Standing Up Phase” which will focus on destabilizing Syria, [[Turkey]], [[Jordan]] and [[Israel]]. 'Destabilizing' is also known as 'vexation operations'.&lt;br /&gt;
*'''2010 – 2013''' “The Unification Phase” which will be aimed at the collapse of the 'near enemy', the Middle Eastern secular regimes. This phase was referred to by Western media, the US State Department, and the Obama [[White House]] as the [[Arab Spring]].&lt;br /&gt;
*'''2013 – 2016''' “The Caliphate Rising Phase” a new [[Caliph]]ate will be declared. This phase was carried out on June 29, 2014, by a group formerly known as al-Qaeda in Iraq, elbowing Zawahiri aside, who was in far away [[Pakistan]], for the top job of Caliph.&lt;br /&gt;
*'''2016 – 2018''' “The Total Confrontation Phase” in which the empowered Caliphate will use its Islamic Army to fight the unbelievers. (See [[Rape jihad]] for one aspect of Islamification).&lt;br /&gt;
*'''2018 – 2020''' “The Definitive Victory Phase” in which Zawahiri claimed the world of “unbelievers” will be defeated after a two-year war by a unified Muslim army of 1.5 billion men.}}&lt;br /&gt;
With the misfortunes facing ISIS in the face of a Putin-Trump agreement to put a stop to the butchery and lawlessness President Obama allowed to flower, al Qaeda once again is on the rise.&lt;br /&gt;

The EU's unified border patrol ([[FRONTEX]]) has been overwhelmed by the number of people attempting to enter. Border violence at entry points is increasing. To prevent organized 'push backs', FRONTEX picks up [[Africa]]n boat refugees and brings them to Europe for processing. Even when an illegal migrant is caught and denied entry, the migrant typically will return and continue attempting illegal entry until they are successful. In 2016 the border guards caught 1.8 million attempts at illegal entry, six times more than the previous high in 2014.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;amp;source=web&amp;amp;rct=j&amp;amp;url=http://frontex.europa.eu/assets/Publications/Risk_Analysis/Annula_Risk_Analysis_2016.pdf&amp;amp;ved=0ahUKEwi6jJXXp7LRAhXEw1QKHRwcD_IQFggaMAA&amp;amp;usg=AFQjCNFF11QKPnBSA2SG8vGNBZvX7Dy-DA&amp;amp;sig2=rDvhuQQvVNmKZhRlhPIRdA Frontex Risk Analysis for 2016]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;

Traffickers use small boats to reduce the chances of being picked up by patrol boats’ radars; migrants are often dropped off on stretches of inaccessible coastline, or left to drift ashore. In the case of illegal land crossings, small trucks are used to penetrate the most porous parts of eastern or southern Europe’s borders. Penalties for this are low or non-existent all around Europe, and traffickers are rarely caught anyway. Smuggling people across Europe has become easier and more profitable than any other criminal activity, including drug smuggling.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.the-american-interest.com/2014/09/05/europes-immigration-crisis/ Europe’s Immigration Crisis]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

===Social engineering and Europe's growing Islamic population===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:IMG 20170511 212807.jpg|right|400px|thumb|The migrant influx is changing European social norms, especially in relation to women and women's rights.  An example of this is shown here as an Islamic &amp;quot;refugee&amp;quot; brazenly spits at a woman in public.]]&lt;br /&gt;
In 2013 Eurostat forecasted that without migrants, Europe's population would decline 100 million by 2080. In roughly 65 years, Eurostat claimed that twenty percent of Europe's population would disappear. By 2080, in Germany, 80 million people today would become 50 million. In Spain, 46.4 million people would become 30 million. In Italy, 60 million would decline to 39 million. Without consulting the voters, European liberal elites and leaders figured a new population of [[taxpayer]]s could help save their healthcare and retirement systems, so they flung open the borders. The EU took the risk of transforming more or less homogenous [[nation-state]]s into [[multiculturalism|multicultural]] societies. No thought or expectation, however, was given by the [[liberal]] leaders to integrating newcomers into the host society culture. If the migrants wished to hold onto their Islamic identity, rejecting the [[sovereign]] laws of the [[state]] and swearing by Allah, and raising their children to do the same, that was fine with them. And a Muslim cannot reject his Islamic identity without fear of death at the hands of other Muslims.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Muslim is barred by his system of governance from taking an [[oath]] of [[citizen]]ship to a state. Albeit, a Muslim can deceive a non-Muslim in an important matter or issue involving life and death (such as renouncing Islam) without [[sin]]ning. Islam claims that Allah alone is sovereign, and he does not share power with [[Jesus]] or any government of man other than Islam. It would be fallacious to describe Islam as a &amp;quot;race&amp;quot; or a &amp;quot;religion&amp;quot;, as it is a political system of social governance with exclusively [[male]] judges to execute rulings on [[civil]] and [[criminal]] matters, based on [[law]] and [[precedent]]. There really are no gray areas over how adherents of Islam fit into the sphere of [[identity politics]], easily discernible to all, other than the willful ignorance of liberalism.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In many irreligious European countries, there is a sub-replacement level of births which is expected to cause challenges to their pension systems and labor supplies (see: [[Atheism and fertility rates]]). As irreligious populations rise in age, the fertility rates of these countries could drop further. The Rand Corporation indicates, &amp;quot;Nearly all European nations are experiencing long-term downtrends in fertility, and consequently, aging of their populations. These demographic trends could have potentially damaging consequences for European economies.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/MG206.html Low Fertility and Population Ageing], Rand Corporation&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Germany currently has one of the lowest birthrates in the world. The German government has been addressing the problem by taxing ethnic Germans so heavily they cannot afford to have children and importing millions of Muslim males from abroad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In November 2017, the Pew Research Center found that if current migration trends continue, Europe's Islamic population would grow from 4.9% of the population in 2016 to 14% by 2050, with levels up to 30% in Sweden.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;GrowingMuslimPop&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Europe received so much Islamic immigration by 2017 that Pew found that if all immigration to Europe was completely stopped, the Islamic population would still rise to 7.4% by 2050.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;GrowingMuslimPop&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; According to a 2018 study by the Austrian Academy of Sciences, almost all of Western Europe's population growth between 1990 and 2017 was because of mass migration.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Tomlinson, Chris (June 24, 2018).

&lt;br /&gt;
===European prisons===&lt;br /&gt;
Because the Islamic criminal justice system traditionally uses [[slavery]], dismemberment, and [[beheading]]s to enforce its laws or act as a deterrent, and with the further foundational precept that adherents of Islam do not pay [[tax]]es to support [[prison]]s or a [[criminal justice system]], the European system of [[incarceration]] is proving more than inadequate to deal with violent and criminal acts performed by Muslims. &lt;br /&gt;

The prisons have become schools of more concentrated advanced learning in the doctrines of Islamic governance, where non-Muslims by intimidation are forced to convert to Islam to survive.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/muslim-prison-chaplains-encouraging-murder-of-non-believers-a6990441.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/muslim-convert-bullied-inmate-jail-conversion-islam-515222&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://islamversuseurope.blogspot.com/2014/01/france-prisoners-converting-to-islam-to.html ]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Even prison officials, staff, and guards have not been immune to the threats, coercive activity, or political correctness.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/57475/Anarchy-at-jail-that-panders-to-Muslim-lags]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When a Muslim is released from custody, it is interpreted by the ex-prisoner as an admission of guilt by the state for the injustice of holding them under man-made law, and an exoneration of the [[crime]]s they were accused of. If they were truly guilty of the crimes they were accused of, they would have been beheaded or whatever shariah and the [[hadith]] proscribe. In being released from detention, it is claimed that Allah has delivered them from the hands of the &amp;quot;infidels&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

Once a devout Muslim finds a secure area to pray five times daily (the Second Pillar of Islam), that area encompassing a few cubic feet becomes part of the &amp;quot;sacred realm&amp;quot; of Islam (which does not recognize [[Nation state|national borders]]), under the law and teachings of Islam.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The place of prayer is extremely important; prayers performed on usurped property are void, [https://www.al-islam.org/islamic-laws-ayatullah-ali-al-husayni-al-sistani/rules-salat-part-ii-iii] and there is no prohibition on the usurpation of property from &amp;quot;infidels&amp;quot; (Surahs 8:69 &amp;amp; 33:21-27 for examples). The place of prayer must also be clean, i.e., free of the uncleanness of &amp;quot;infidels&amp;quot;. In November 2016 Abdul Artan drove his car into pedestrian traffic at the University of Ohio-Columbus and began wildly slashing ten people with a butcher knife. Artan was upset because he could not find an unsullied place to have his prayers accepted by Allah, which was his religious duty five times daily. The mainstream media misreported Artan as being in fear of &amp;quot;[[Islamophobia]]&amp;quot;.

==France==&lt;br /&gt;
On October 10, 732 AD, [[Charles Martel]] defeated the Muslim armies in the [[Battle of Tours]]. This Frankish victory secured Christian Europe's ability to develop without the influence or fear of Islam. For about 1,200 years after the battle, Europe, although facing numerous wars and conflicts, never had the very fabric of its society threatened by invaders (with the possible exception of the 1683 [[Siege of Vienna]]; see the &amp;quot;Austria&amp;quot; section below). However, beginning with the independence of its colony of [[Algeria]] in 1962, the number of Muslims in France has dramatically increased. Although a united European front opposed Islam in 732, a sizable French minority supported the influx of peoples who did not share French or European values. France now has a serious problem regarding immigration.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Byas, Steve (May 31, 2018).

&lt;br /&gt;
[[France]] has a long history of interaction with Islam. From 1837 until 1962 Algeria and much of North West Africa were administered as a French [[Imperialism|colonial province]]. For this reason alone, France was elevated to one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council in 1945 due to France's historical experience in dealing with predominantly Islamic populations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But tensions between France and the Islamic world run deep. Arab Muslims to this day refer to the [[Crusade]]rs of nearly a millennia ago as &amp;quot;Franks,&amp;quot; regardless of whatever part of Europe they originated. The first ''[[fatwa]]'' issued by the [[Islamic State]] singled out particularly the &amp;quot;filthy French&amp;quot;:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://pietervanostaeyen.wordpress.com/2014/06/12/shaykh/ Shaykh Abū Muhammad al-‘Adnānī ~ Whatever of Good Reaches You is from Allah « pietervanostaeyen]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The French immigration model was largely developed to assimilate people at the close of the colonial era in the 1960s and paralleled somewhat the [[United States]] model. Immigrants were expected to abandon the culture of their place of origin, adopt French secularism and language, and fully assimilate. In the 21st century, with the mass arrival of Muslims who self-segregate, refuse French customs, and insist upon religious practices in public schools (daily prayers and coverings for females), social tensions have mounted. Many French feel immigrant demands are a threat to their republican form of government. By the time of the migrant crisis, migrant groups did not assimilate and different groups developed their own separate communities, with the concept of being French fading.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Meotti, Giulio (June 23, 2019).

===Islamic law and education in the UK===&lt;br /&gt;
Since 1982 the United Kingdom has allowed the operation of the Islamic Sharia Council. Its stated mission is to offer advice on marital, divorce, custody disputes, domestic abuse, inheritance and Islamic family life. Supposedly its operation would relieve British courts of case overloads and costs. The Council has been criticized for issuing advice and non-binding rulings unfair to women.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Underground Sharia courts also are operating in the UK. Civil marriages still must be dissolved in British courts, but many marriages between Muslims are &amp;quot;off the books&amp;quot; and sanctioned by Sharia courts. Author Martin Sixsmith has uncovered at least one case where a Sharia court in Lancashire handed down a death sentence for a broken marriage contract and allegations of adultery which resulted in an honor killing.&lt;br /&gt;

Because of Greece's amorphous island borders, it has always been virtually impossible to prevent illegal entry and smuggling from Africa or Asia into Europe. In the contemporary setting, Greeks have not been particularly welcoming of immigrants who seem hostile or threatening to traditional Greek and European customs and culture. Because of the difficulty in preventing entry, the Greeks have become somewhat more tolerant so long as migrants pass through to other destinations such as Germany or Sweden, where the leftist open border policies welcome the invasion by foreigners.&lt;br /&gt;

Golden Dawn sits as a minority opposition party in the Greek parliament. It has been described as ultra-nationalist and Eurosceptic. Critics have labeled it, with some justification in this specific case, as &amp;quot;neo-[[fascist]].&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
People alleged to be associated with Golden Dawn have been accused of perpetrating acts of violence against migrants who linger behind and refuse to migrate north to Austria, Germany, or elsewhere where migrants are more welcome, and cash benefits, housing, and free healthcare are available. Greece's [[sovereign debt]] crisis has made it more difficult to be as generous with social security and welfare state benefits to its own citizens, let alone literally, millions, of non-citizen Muslim migrants, to say nothing of employment available for people without job and language skills in a society already struggling with 25% unemployment.&lt;br /&gt;

===Population replacement===&lt;br /&gt;
The [[United Nations]] has advocated a scheme known as &amp;quot;replacement migration&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;population replacement&amp;quot; theoretically to avoid declining government revenues for member states with aging and shrinking populations, and consequent budget cuts and the layoff of government workers. Statistical variations in employment and unemployment rates can also be manipulated.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/migration/migration.htm Replacement Migration: Is It a Solution to Declining and Ageing Populations?], Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The idea is to maintain a government's revenue at a zero baseline for budgeting and not reduce government employees.

When the dominant culture educated under [[shariah]] law takes the reigns, Muslims do not pay taxes under the Islamic system (which the Swedish government and the UN neglect to consider in their population theory statistics). This has been a major selling point for Islamic proselytization for fourteen centuries. Traditional, non-Westernized Islam (or ''[[Salafism]]'', the dominant strain from the migrants' country of origin)&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;quot;The [Salafi] movement gained mass popularity during the last century and Salafis now constitute a majority or significant portion of the Muslim population in the Middle East and North Africa. This is despite the fact that it was often strongly opposed by secular nationalist regimes and non-Salafi clerics. Western governments have neither the local credibility nor the cultural expertise necessary to diminish the popularity of Salafism.&amp;quot; ''[https://www.ctc.usma.edu/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Atlas-ExecutiveReport.pdf Militant Ideology Atlas]'', Combating Terrorism Center at West Point, November 2006, Conclusions, p. 10.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; doesn't need tax revenue to support police, prisons and a criminal justice system. Slavery, beheadings, and dismemberment administered by criminal law judges, known as imams render [[justice]] to the accused under a system of [[due process]] fairly quickly. It is not that shoplifters or alcoholics, for example, live in fear of dismemberment; they simply don't exist in Islamic society because they have been dispatched. Similarly, for persons with mental and emotional disabilities, the law is applied equally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although some non-Muslims are allowed to survive and exist under Koranic law, they are subject to the [[dhimmi]] tax. Only non-Muslims pay taxes. It would not be possible for a non-Muslim minority to sustain Sweden's welfare state with [[universal healthcare]] coverage for all, the [[social contract]] and old age retirement benefits, educational, housing, and a myriad of other government social programs. It is doubtful, assuming Shariah Law permitted, if the minority population could maintain these programs for themselves, given the rate of the ''dhimmi'' tax. Swedish liberal elites have essentially chosen suicide for Swedish liberalism and Swedish culture as a &amp;quot;rational solution&amp;quot; to Sweden's declining fertility rate and carbon footprint.&lt;br /&gt;

Sweden reported 480,000 sex crimes in 2015 (statistically 1 in 4 females of childbearing age are victimized, although crimes against prepubescents and elderly occur, too). Women's rights activists have been conveniently silent on the rape crisis, pretending &amp;quot;[[gay rights]]&amp;quot; and the glass ceiling are still the vital issues of concern to most women and girls, and continue misguidedly advocating for the importation of more people who want to destroy women's rights. In small villages of 400, where people never locked their doors, the government places another 400 non-European migrants side by side with natives. As in Germany and larger cities elsewhere, women and girls are fearful of going out at night or being unescorted in daylight. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The imported rape culture has permanently transformed Sweden's leftist [[utopia]]. Migrants, for the most part, have no interest in integrating into Swedish society. They are there for one reason only: to exploit the welfare state benefits now, and replace the aging population, who have an unsustainable birthrate, later. The homogeneous liberal utopia of Sweden is now dead,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;By 2030, Sweden is projected to have an HDI, or [[Human Development Index]] below [[Mexico]], Libya, and [[Bulgaria]]. The HDI takes in the “capabilities” of a country intended to reflect the health, [[education]], and income of a country’s population.

It is a course governing coalitions over many years have set Sweden on, theoretically, to reduce Sweden's [[carbon footprint]].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and population scientists claim the decline of the Swedish population and high birthrates among migrants are irreversible. All these facts are known to Swedes and migrants, of all ages, alike. The government of Sweden has offered returning [[ISIS]] fighters housing and driver licenses, liberal Swedish courts have ruled flying the Islamic State flag is &amp;quot;legal&amp;quot;, and the [[Caliph]] has already issued a criminal decree ordering [[Christian]]s in Sweden to convert to Islam or face beheading.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/626885/Islamic-State-ISIS-letters-Sweden-convert-Islam-decapitated-murder-jihadi-Syria ISIS BEHEADING PLOT - Jihadis send LETTERS to EU civilians ordering them to convert or die], By NICK GUTTERIDGE, ''Daily Express'', Dec 18, 2015.  www.express.co.uk&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Needless to say, most all of these events and changes conveniently went unreported in the United States by the liberal media in the Obama era.&lt;br /&gt;

===Social Democrats===&lt;br /&gt;
The '''Social Democrats''' head up Sweden's current governing coalition and have shown themselves out of touch with the growing concern over immigration reform, are hostile to basic [[human rights]] such as [[free speech]], and [[tolerance|intolerant]] of criticism. Under Social Democratic censorship, the beheadings of a mother and child in an IKEA parking lot by two migrants were reported by police and media as a &amp;quot;stabbing spree.&amp;quot; The two killers left an immigration office only moments earlier angry after being informed one would be deported. Swedish citizens were deliberately not informed of the facts. The brutal crime was reported by [[CBS]] News in America as a &amp;quot;knife attack&amp;quot;, with no reference to the perpetrators' Islamic allegiance or motivations.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://themuslimissue.wordpress.com/2015/08/12/madness-muslim-beheads-woman-in-ikea-swedish-police-send-reinforcement-to-boost-security-for-muslims/ Surreal: Muslim beheads woman in IKEA.

===Moderaterna and Christian Democrats===&lt;br /&gt;
'''Moderaterna''' (Moderates) is the center-right party that headed the coalition government along with the '''Christian Democrats''' that are blamed by many Swedes for exacerbating Sweden's immigration crisis. Moderaterna was tossed out of the leadership role in the 2014 elections. The SD has reserved some of its strongest criticism for the Moderates and its prime minister, [[Fredrik Reinfeldt]], for its extreme-[[open borders]] immigration policy. The party has even called for the expulsion of Hungary's conservative [[Fidesz]] from the [[European People's Party]] group in the EU parliament.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;De la Baum, Maïa (February 22, 2019).

Sweden alone among European and Western powers never had a native [[fascist]] movement or party. The fear of being labeled &amp;quot;racist&amp;quot; runs very deep among whatever political persuasion one is affiliated with, and because of its neutral stance during [[World War II]], Swedes still feel a collective sense of guilt that they as a nation didn't do enough to oppose [[Hitler]], and have been compensating for it through humanitarianism ever since.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;mainstream&amp;quot; conservatives in Sweden consist of a [[business]] class and evangelical charismatic Christians. These are the two groups which have traditionally been the strongest proponents of open borders, the business class using cheap foreign laborers as union busters, and the Christians as a show of compassion. From 2006 until 2014 the center-right Moderaterna party led a governing coalition with the '''Christian Democrats''' which welcomed throngs of migrants. It is the relative conservatives (conservative by leftist European standards) who are blamed for allowing large numbers in.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/427465/sweden-and-belgium-silencing-and-denial Sweden and Belgium: Silencing and Denial], ANDREW STUTTAFORD, ''[[National Review]]'', November 21, 2015&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Progress Party was founded in 1973 as a conservative and [[Euroskeptic]] party. The party fundamentally is made up of [[economic conservative]]s. By 1997 it was the second largest party in Norway, but other parties refused to form coalition governments with it because of anti-immigration elements. In 2001 the anti-immigration elements were expelled, with the expulsion ultimately being only temporary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2013 the Progress party for the first time entered into a governing coalition, now with some anti-immigration elements rebranded as &amp;quot;populist,&amp;quot; although its coalition partners, the [[Prime Minister]], academics, and the party itself reject the term. Anti-elitist may be a more fitting description. The party has a long history of opposition to the traditional establishment ruling elites of Norway on the grounds of high taxation.

32,000 migrants arrived in [[Finland]] in 2015, a tenfold increase over 2014. But after a series of rapes—one involving a gang rape by five Islamic Somalis born in Finland whose parents immigrated in the 1990s—Finns demanded action on the immigration issue. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To remain in the country and receive government assistance, an immigrant now is required to take classes on Finnish culture and customs which include sections on women's equality and rights. The courses teach, for example, a woman's refusal to divert eye contact is neither a show of disrespect nor an invitation to rape. In 2018, Finland's prime minister admitted that most migrants who traveled to Europe since 2015 were economic migrants rather than refugees.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Hale, Virginia (September 4, 2018).

The Centre party currently heads up Finland's governing coalition along with the Finns Party and the National Coalition Party. All three are considered center-right, with the National Coalition being the most pro-EU. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Finns Party rose from receiving 4% of the vote in the 2007 parliamentary election to receiving almost 18% in 2015. After the 2019 elections, they held 39 of the 200 parliamentary seats in Finland. From 2015 to 2017, it was part of the country's governing three-party coalition since 2015. It is described as nationalist, populist, and Eurosceptic. The Finns Party is a member of the [[Alliance of Conservatives and Reformists in Europe]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.acreurope.eu/our_family#parties&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Denmark==&lt;br /&gt;
The country of [[Denmark]] has been of particular interest to Muslims activists since the newspaper ''Jyllands-Posten'' published cartoons of Muhammad, founder of Islam, in September 2005. After protests by Muslims in many countries, the paper apologized in January 2006.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;quot;[https://www.theguardian.com/media/2006/jan/31/religion.saudiarabia Danish paper sorry for Muhammad cartoons],&amp;quot; ''The Guardian'', January 31, 2006.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Denmark]], which processed 7,000 asylum seekers in 2013, 14,000 in 2014, and 21,000 in 2015, has taken steps to dissuade migrants from showing up. Situated between two of the migrants' most popular destinations, Germany and Sweden, Denmark started efforts to stem the flow in 2016. When dozens of migrants began arriving with child-brides as low as 14 years old to enjoy Denmark's social welfare benefits, Danes began saying enough was enough. One man had three wives and 20 children.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first step to get the message out was seizing any property over $1,400 in value to offset government costs. Then the monthly stipend was cut 45% because of the overwhelming number of people arriving. Citizens who drove migrants across the country between Germany and Sweden were fined. The government took out ads in Arabic language newspapers apprising visitors of the new [[regulation]]s. Finally, [[pork]] became a mainstay on the menu in public schools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2016 it was revealed at least 29 Danish citizens who traveled to Syria to fight for ISIS received $95,000 in government welfare state benefits while doing so. Danish [[entitlement]] law made it impossible to cut off the benefits, even when regulations for [[unemployment]] benefits, for example, required their presence and availability for work in Denmark necessary to receive benefits.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;quot;[https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/21/world/europe/danes-fighting-for-isis-were-paid-welfare-benefits-government-says.html Danes Fighting for ISIS Were Paid Welfare Benefits, Government Says],&amp;quot; ''New York Times'', Feb. 21, 2017.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; According to the Danish Ministry of Employment in 2016, 84% of welfare recipients were migrants of &amp;quot;non-Western origin.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Lane, Oliver JJ (March 17, 2016).

Slamming the door on migrants seems out of character for a nation noted for empathy toward people unwelcome elsewhere.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;For example, when the Nazis imposed a regulation requiring Jews to identify themselves in public by wearing the [[Star of David]], the following day the King appeared in public wearing the Star of David, inspiring multitudes to don the Star and assist hiding Jews by confusing the [[Gestapo]].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Danes like the society they've built and inherited, and hard-headed pragmatism causes them to step back from the self-destruction their neighbors are intent on.

==Russian Federation==&lt;br /&gt;
The Jamestown Foundation reports Russia's &amp;quot;demographic collapse&amp;quot; is worse than the Moscow government official statistics are willing to admit. High mortality rates, low fertility rates, emigration of ethnic Russians outside Russia, coupled with vast immigration of Central Asians and South Caucasians with higher fertility rates and improved life expectancy accentuate the decline. Alcoholism among the native Russian population, and a traditional Islamic cultural stigmatization attached to the use of alcohol is also cited as a cause accelerating the statistical decline of ethnic Russians.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://jamestown.org/program/regional-statistics-not-moscows-point-russias-demographic-collapse/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

:''Main articles: [[Swiss People's Party]] and [[Christoph Blocher]]''&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike most other European right-wing parties, the Swiss People's Party has been well established for decades, and it became the largest party in Switzerland during the 1990s, long before other European countries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The SVP and its predecessors had &amp;quot;showed remarkable stability&amp;quot; in &amp;quot;electoral support&amp;quot; until the 1990s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Skenderovic, pp. 127.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However, the SVP grew dramatically in size, becoming the largest party by 1999 with 22.5 percent of the vote.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.politik-stat.ch/nrw1999CH_de.html 1999 federal election results]. ''politik-stat.ch''. Retrieved October 12, 2016.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This growth directly coincided with the victory of the conservative, right-wing faction of the party—led by businessman [[Christoph Blocher]]—over the moderate establishment faction.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Skenderovic, pp. 129, 132-135, 141.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arguably the most important action of the SVP was its successful opposition to Swiss entry into the European Economic Area (EEA) in 1992. As a strong conservative, Blocher strongly opposed Swiss integration with, and thus a loss of sovereignty to, outside powers, and he was able to convince the national party to adopt his position.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;pp.135&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Skenderovic, pp. 135.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The SVP was one of only two major parties to oppose membership, the other being the [[leftist]] Greens.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Trampusch&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Trampusch, Christine and André Mach (2011).

Both Budapest and Auschwitz were liberated from German Nazi control in January 1945.

Today he is trying to ease his [[conscience]] by taking his vengeance on 'Christian Europe'.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;In Soros' autobiography Soros writes, &amp;quot;When you look at the way Jews react to persecution, you'll find that they tend to follow one of two main escape routes. Either they transcend their problem by turning to something universal or they identify with their oppressors and try to become like them. I come from an assimilationist family. And I have chosen the first route.&amp;quot; As an assimilationist, Soros rejected Jewish identity in his formative years; as a 'universalist', embodied in his Open Society Institute, he wishes to [[atonement|atone]] for the sins of his youth.

&lt;br /&gt;
== Liberals and politics/law ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:ObamaCareSymbol.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Forced collectivization of healthcare.]]&lt;br /&gt;
In the United States, liberals currently use two Clauses of the U.S. Constitution to try to expand their power: the Commerce Clause and the General Welfare Clause. The General Welfare Clause mentions &amp;quot;promoting the general welfare&amp;quot;. This to a liberal means taxing the rich at increased rates and redistributing that money.  The Commerce Clause, on the other hand, says that Congress has the power to regulate trade with foreign nations, between the states and with the Indian tribes. Since the days of [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]] this clause has been interpreted very loosely and has resulted in the federal government expanding its power. The latest example is The Affordable Care Act (ACA), better known as [[Obamacare]]. In the ACA, the liberals justify the [[individual mandate]] by saying it regulates commerce between the states. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The decline in liberal principles can be illustrated by how Franklin Delano Roosevelt opposed and condemned public sector unions, stating that the idea of collective bargaining can't be transferred from the private to the public sector, as that would result in the government being unable to carry out its duties.  Yet today, decades later, [[Democrats]] and liberals are in lock-step with public sector unions, as they &amp;quot;donate&amp;quot; money to the reelection campaign in exchange for more taxpayer money in their wallets and fluffed up pensions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Current dictionaries describe the liberal ideology by pretending that a liberal is &amp;quot;a person who favors a political philosophy of progress and reform and the protection of civil liberties&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;a person who favors an economic theory of laissez-faire and self-regulating markets,&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=liberal&amp;amp;sub=Search+WordNet&amp;amp;o2=&amp;amp;o0=1&amp;amp;o7=&amp;amp;o5=&amp;amp;o1=1&amp;amp;o6=&amp;amp;o4=&amp;amp;o3=&amp;amp;h=00 Noun S: (n) liberal]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; or &amp;quot;open-minded or tolerant, especially free of or not bound by traditional or conventional ideas, values, etc.&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;favorable to or in accord with concepts of maximum individual freedom possible, especially as guaranteed by law and secured by governmental protection of civil liberties.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/liberal liberal]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In practical usage, the term &amp;quot;liberal&amp;quot; is more closely synonymous with &amp;quot;radical,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;immoral,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;anti-freedom,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;elitist,&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;bad.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

==Liberals and uncharitableness==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Krdo13.jpg|thumbnail|250px|left|An [[Obamaville]] was a tent city or shanty town in the [[United States]] created by homeless people during [[Barack Hussein Obama|Barack Obama]]'s presidency.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.wnd.com/?pageId=174965&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.staradvertiser.com/news/20100627_Huge_tent_city_takes_root.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2009/12/12/welcome-obamaville-sign-colorado-tent-city-media-mum&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[United States|American]] liberals have been observed to give less to charity than American conservatives.&amp;lt;ref name=georgeWill&amp;gt;[http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/03/conservatives_more_liberal_giv.html Conservatives More Liberal Givers], [[RealClearPolitics]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; ]]&lt;br /&gt;
''See also'': [[Liberals and uncharitableness]] and [[Atheism and charity]]&lt;br /&gt;
In March 2008, [[George Will]] wrote at [[RealClearPolitics]] concerning the [[United States]]:&lt;br /&gt;
{{cquote|Sixteen months ago, [[Arthur C. Brooks]], a professor at [[Syracuse University]], published &amp;quot;Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism.&amp;quot; The surprise is that liberals are markedly less charitable than [[conservative]]s....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If many conservatives are liberals who have been mugged by reality, Brooks, a registered independent, is, as a reviewer of his book said, a social scientist who has been mugged by data. They include these findings:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-- Although liberal families' incomes average 6 percent higher than those of conservative families, conservative-headed households give, on average, 30 percent more to charity than the average liberal-headed household ($1,600 per year vs. $1,227).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-- Conservatives also donate more time and give more blood.&amp;lt;ref name=georgeWill /&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Atheism|Atheists]] and [[agnosticism|agnostics]] often reject [[Bible|Biblical]] [[morality]] (and therefore [[conservative Christianity]] ) and hold to [[moral relativism]].  Therefore, it is not surprising that [[per capita]] atheists and agnostics in [[United States|America]] [[Atheism and charity|give significantly less to charity than theists even when church giving is not counted for theists]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.barna.org/barna-update/article/12-faithspirituality/102-atheists-and-agnostics-take-aim-at-christians Atheists and Agnostics Take Aim at Christians]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Liberal politicians and uncharitableness ===&lt;br /&gt;
The political magazine the [[American Spectator]] featured an article which focused on [[liberal politicians and uncharitableness]] exposing the hypocrisy of the liberal politicians it featured.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=1c5_1238044128&amp;amp;c=1 Charity Donations and Liberal Hypocrisy]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  In addition, [[Barack Obama]] has been criticized concerning [[Barack Obama and uncharitableness|his lack of charitable giving]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Also, in September of 2008, the [[Wall Street Journal]] reported:&lt;br /&gt;
{{cquote|The reality is that the [[New Atheism|New Atheist]] campaign, by discouraging [[religion]], won't create a new group of intelligent, skeptical, enlightened beings. Far from it: It might actually encourage new levels of mass superstition. And that's not a conclusion to take on faith &amp;amp;mdash; it's what the empirical data tell us.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;quot;What Americans Really Believe,&amp;quot; a comprehensive new study released by Baylor University yesterday, shows that [[Conservative Christianity|traditional Christian religion]] greatly decreases belief in everything from the efficacy of palm readers to the usefulness of [[astrology]].

&lt;br /&gt;
This is not a new finding. In his 1983 book &amp;quot;The Whys of a Philosophical Scrivener,&amp;quot; skeptic and science writer Martin Gardner cited the decline of traditional religious belief among the better educated as one of the causes for an increase in [[pseudoscience]], cults and superstition. He referenced a 1980 study published in the magazine Skeptical Inquirer that showed irreligious college students to be by far the most likely to embrace paranormal beliefs, while born-again Christian college students were the least likely.&amp;lt;ref name=irrational /&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

As noted above, [[American liberalism]] is a political ideology that dominates the [[Democratic Party]]. Its heroes include [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]], [[Eleanor Roosevelt]], and [[Martin Luther King]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the Gallup Organization, in the United States,  25% of the population were liberals and 36% were conservatives in 2016.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[US Conservatives Outnumber Liberals by Narrowing Margin], Gallup, January of 2017&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:FDRoosevelt by Perskie.png|thumbnail|right|200px|[[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] ]]&lt;br /&gt;
In 2017, the ''Financial Times'' declared about [[American liberalism]]:&lt;br /&gt;
{{Cquote|...as Democrats struggle to reinvent themselves in the wake of Donald Trump’s victory, their party remains captured by a toxic mix of [[identity politics]] and corporate interests. The establishment wing is still convinced that racism and [[misogyny]], not economic populism, sank Mrs Clinton, and that wooing big corporate donors is still the way to victory in the next election.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While money matters, and there may have been some voters who turned away from Mrs Clinton because of gender, the key reason that the Democrats lost in 2016 and are struggling to rebrand themselves is that they have failed to grasp two things.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Firstly, most Americans today care more about jobs than identity, and secondly, the same downward mobility that pushed the white working class towards Mr Trump is moving up the socio-economic food chain, and fast. As research by groups from the International Monetary Fund to the OECD to McKinsey has shown, the technology-related job disruption that resulted in rust belt job losses and wage stagnation since 2000 is beginning to affect white-collar workers across nearly every sector....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Democrats over-estimated the power and relevance of identity politics (there are still more whites without a college degree than minorities), and underestimated the breadth and depth of labour disruption. In any case, says Robert Johnson, president of the Institute for New Economic Thinking, “it was always a mistake to separate out issues of race and class, because they go hand in hand. In economically insecure times, fear of the ‘other’ increases.” It is a phenomenon exploited by Mr Trump.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.ft.com/content/b34f5536-2c02-11e7-bc4b-5528796fe35c Economics, not identity, is key to reviving American liberalism], Financial Times, 2017&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In recent years, American liberals have experienced a number of political losses and many liberals in the United States have become embittered (see: [[American liberalism and 21st century political losses]]),  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Democrats]] and most media outlets in the [[U.S.]] are blatantly liberal.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.mrc.org/biasbasics/biasbasics1.asp|title=Media Bias basics|publisher=[[Media Research Center]]}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Liberalism in North America today practices three primary tactics to attack the Republican Party, and sometimes to attack American values in general.

{{cquote|There's another goal, from my point of view, which is to try to lay the groundwork for a radical political force which would conceive of itself as distinctly to the left of moderate, reformist American liberals. And that has two aspects. One is to try to change that liberalism, to transform it by analysis, critique, and activism; the second is to build a radical movement which would be an autonomous force in its own right, which would be distinct from the traditional American liberal consensus. This radical part of the program involves not simply supporting the liberal students against conservative students and conservative professors, but trying to act on them, to push them to the left. It also involves trying to find and support, even trying to help create, networks of radical students in law school and of radical professors around the country — students and teachers who see themselves as wanting to go a lot further than most people want to go.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://66.218.69.11/search/cache?ei=UTF-8&amp;amp;p=liberal+teachers&amp;amp;fr=yfp-t-501&amp;amp;fp_ip=MX&amp;amp;u=duncankennedy.net/documents/Liberal%2520Values%2520in%2520Legal%2520Education.pdf&amp;amp;w=liberal+liberals+teachers+teacher&amp;amp;d=BNZFhPReRjC1&amp;amp;icp=1&amp;amp;.intl=us Liberal Values in Legal Education] Duncan Kennedy (professor at Harvard Law School)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

=== American liberalism, demographics and expected tipping point in the decline of American liberalism ===&lt;br /&gt;
''See also:'' [[American atheism]] and [[Decline of atheism]] and [[Global atheism]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to the explosive growth of [[global Christianity]] in traditional cultures and their influence on Western [[Christianity]] and the higher birth rate of [[Conservative Christianity|conservative Christians]] and religious conservatives, social conservatism is expected to rise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Birkbeck College, University of London professor Eric Kaufman wrote in his 2010 book ''Shall the Righteous Inherit the Earth?'' concerning America:&lt;br /&gt;
{{cquote|High evangelical fertility rates more than compensated for losses to liberal Protestant sects during the twentieth century. In recent decades, white secularism has surged, but Latino and Asian religious immigration has taken up the slack, keeping secularism at bay. Across denominations, the fertility advantage of religious fundamentalists of all colours is significant and growing. After 2020, their demographic weight will to tip the balance in the [[Culture War|culture wars]] towards the conservative side, ramping up pressure on hot-button issues such as abortion. By the end of the century, three quarters of America may be pro-life. Their activism will leap over the borders of the 'Redeemer Nation' to evangelize the world. Already, the rise of the World Congress of Families has launched a global religious right, its arms stretching across the bloody lines of the War on Terror to embrace the entire Abrahamic family.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://questionevolution.blogspot.com/2012/05/why-are-years-2012-and-2020-key-years.html Why are 2012 and 2020 key years for Christian creationists and pro-lifers?]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

==Liberalism in Europe today==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Francois Hollande and Vladimir Putin, Moscow 6 dec 2014 - 05-cropped.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The [[France|French]] liberal politician [[François Hollande]]  was the President of the French Republic from 2012 until 2017. ]]&lt;br /&gt;
In Europe, on the other hand, parties that call themselves ''liberal'' are moderate in outlook, ranging from centre-left to centre-right, promote typically economic and business freedom. The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.alde.eu Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe in the European Parliament]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; is a party of the European Parliament that represents most ''liberal'' parties from European countries. Similar policies are promoted by many ''liberal'' parties throughout the world,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.liberal-international.org/ World Federation of Liberalism]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; such as the Liberal Party of Australia.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.liberal.org.au/ Liberal Party of Australia]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trade unions and socialist parties often criticize politicians for promoting lower taxes on business, or more flexible hiring and firing laws, by calling them &amp;quot;liberals&amp;quot; or [[neoliberal]]s. Thus, just as in the US, &amp;quot;liberal&amp;quot; may occasionally be used as a term of abuse. But when someone is called &amp;quot;liberal&amp;quot; in Europe, it has an entirely different meaning than in the US. In fact, the US meaning of liberal is more similar to the politics of both European [[socialist]]/[[social democracy|social democratic]] or Social/progressive liberal parties, in contrast to conservative or fiscal liberal parties which again falls into the right-wing part of the political spectrum.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.pes.org Party of European Socialism]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:JohnStuartMill.jpg|thumbnail|right|200px||[[John Stuart Mill]] was a [[classical liberal]]. ]]&lt;br /&gt;
==Historical Liberalism ==&lt;br /&gt;
In history, the word &amp;quot;liberal&amp;quot; has meant different things at different times, and was associated with individual liberty in prior centuries. In the postwar period, liberals supported government intervention in the economy and welfare state policies, as well as peaceful coexistence with the communist block, which are not liberal policies in the sense of classical liberalism. After the end of the cold war, with the demise of socialism and communism, many liberals embraced some ideas from economic neo-liberalism, and coined it the &amp;quot;Third Way&amp;quot;. In the area of [[national security]] and foreign policy liberals in the [[U.S.]] failed to define a consistent stance, even after the events of 9/11 and the beginning of the war in Iraq.  Liberals generally support affirmative action, gay marriage, and abortion.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/TS/Bailey/Greenberg-Bailey/Homosexual%20Eugenics.pdf Parental Selection of Children’s Sexual Orientation], '''PDF''', &amp;quot;Political liberals tend, for whatever reason, to be ardent supporters of both gay rights and pro-choice programs.&amp;quot; Greenberg and Bailey&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Original meaning: Classical Liberalism ===&lt;br /&gt;
Liberalism is a political philosophy with freedom as its core value. The term was originally applied to supporters of individual liberties and equal rights, but, in America, the term has come to represent a movement of social change that often conflicts with [[conservative]] values such as moral values and traditions derived from Northern European Protestantism.&lt;br /&gt;

==Quotes on Liberals==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I never use the words [[Democrats]] and [[Republicans]]. It's [[liberals]] and [[Americans]].&amp;quot; -James Watt, Secretary of the Interior under [[Ronald Reagan]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.&amp;quot; -[[Ronald Reagan]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Liberals see racism where it doesn't exist, fabricate it when they can't find it and ignore it within their own ranks.” ―[[Michelle Malkin]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Words mean nothing to liberals. They say whatever will help advance their cause at the moment, switch talking points in a heartbeat, and then act indignant if anyone uses the exact same argument they were using five minutes ago.&amp;quot; -[[Ann Coulter]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2010/11/23/the_25_best_quotes_about_liberals The 25 Best Quotes About Liberals]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The reason any conservative's failing is always major news is that it allows liberals to engage in their very favorite taunt: Hypocrisy! Hypocrisy is the only sin that really inflames them. Inasmuch as liberals have no morals, they can sit back and criticize other people for failing to meet the standards that liberals simply renounce. It's an intriguing strategy. By openly admitting to being philanderers, draft dodgers, liars, weasels and cowards, liberals avoid ever being hypocrites.&amp;quot; -Ann Coulter&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;If you can somehow force a liberal into a point-counterpoint argument, his retorts will bear no relation to what you've said -- unless you were in fact talking about your looks, your age, your weight, your personal obsessions, or whether you are a fascist. In the famous liberal two-step, they leap from one idiotic point to the next, so you can never nail them. It's like arguing with someone with Attention Deficit Disorder.&amp;quot; -[[Ann Coulter]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Inside many liberals is a totalitarian screaming to get out. They don't like to have another point of view in the room that they don't squash and the way they try to squash it is by character assassination and name calling.&amp;quot; -David Horowitz&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;End results that work that don't involve government threaten liberals.&amp;quot; -[[Rush Limbaugh]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living. I'd like to know why they make excuses for cowards who spit in the faces of the police and then run behind the judicial sob sisters. I can't understand these people who carry placards to save the life of some criminal, yet have no thought for the innocent victim.&amp;quot; -John Wayne&lt;br /&gt;

In a ''BloombergView'' article, Stephen L. Carter wrote about modern liberalism:&lt;br /&gt;
{{Cquote|But the left has work to do, not only on policy and organization but also on attitude. Too many of my [[progressivism|progressive]] friends seem to have forgotten how to make actual arguments, and have become expert instead at condemnation, derision and mockery. On issue after issue, they’re very good at explaining why no one could oppose their policy positions except for the basest of motives. As to those positions themselves, they are too often announced with a zealous solemnity suggesting that their views are Holy Writ -- and those who disagree are cast into the outer political darkness. In short, the left has lately been dripping with hubris, which in classic literature always portends a fall.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-11-11/trump-and-the-fall-of-liberalism Trump and the Fall of Liberalism] by Stephen L.

&lt;div&gt;Robert Alan Chapek (born 1960) is a [[Liberal]] [[Hollywood]] executive who currently serves as CEO of [[Disney]]. He took over after [[Robert Iger]] resigned in early 2020, and started making more headlines in 2022 regarding Disney’s response to Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act which banned the teaching of sexual orientation to kids below 4th grade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2022, Florida Governor [[Ron DeSantis]] signed the Parental Rights in Education Act which liberal opponents have dubbed “The Don’t Say Gay Bill.” Many liberal companies condemned Florida, but Chapek was reluctant at first, and headlines popped up that Pixar employees wanted to put more homosexual stuff in their content, but it kept getting censored by Disney, and many of their movies went straight to Disney+ rather than getting a theatrical release like Disney films such as Encanto. Eventually, Disney made a statement condemning the bill, and that resulted in Disney losing their self governing status in [[Disney World]] with their stocks tanking to below $100. Despite this, Chapek and Disney have continued to double down, and included a homosexual kissing scene in Pixar’s Lightyear which got a theatrical release, and it was Pixar’s biggest bomb since The Good Dinosaur. (Onward was a failure as well, but that has an asterisk due to theaters shutting down early due to the COVID-19 pandemic.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Disney and many other corporations stated it will pay travel costs for their employees that live in an anti-abortion state to get an abortion in a pro-abortion state.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;[[Image:Dail Mail front page.jpg|right|thumb|250px|July 15, 2005 edition]]&lt;br /&gt;
The '''''Daily Mail''''' is the second biggest selling British [[tabloid]] newspaper.  It supports the [[Conservative Party]].  It leans right-wing in its editorial stances, but also supports [[euthanasia]],&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1215710/A-N-WILSON-I-wake-night-wishing-I-killed-mother-But-Keir-Starmer-wrong.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and is noted for its stance on [[gun control]] and the NHS. It has a Sunday edition called ''The Mail on Sunday''. Its two million plus circulation is one of the largest of any daily newspaper in English.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/dailymail/home.html?in_page_id=1766&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ''Daily Mail'' was founded as a [[broadsheet]] newspaper in 1896, but changed to a tabloid format 75 years later. Its closest rival in terms of being less liberal is the ''[[Daily Express]]'', which sells far fewer copies. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it was launched by Alfred and Harold Harmsworth (who later became respectively [[Lord Northcliffe]] and [[Lord Rothermere]]) it made an unashamed bid for the mass market. It was published at half the price of other newspapers, and kept its coverage both more concise and more populist. This approach led to it being highly successful.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Taylor, S. J. ''The Great Outsiders: Northcliffe, Rothermere and the Daily Mail.''&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ''Daily Mail'' also set out to be entertaining, using in particular competitions as a means of promotion, and focusing on human-interest stories as a way of attracting readers to whom in-depth political analysis did not appeal. Among other promotions, they began the [[Ideal Home Exhibition]], which continues to be held in [[London]] every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The paper lost circulation during [[World War I]], when it spoke out in favor of [[conscription]] after the outbreak of war, and particularly when it attacked [[Herbert Kitchener|Lord Kitchener]], who was at that time a national hero. It was accused by the Prime Minister, [[Herbert Asquith]], of disloyalty to the country. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the resignation of Asquith, [[David Lloyd George]] asked Lord Northcliffe to join his cabinet, but Northcliffe refused.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==1920s==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Northcliffe died in 1922, his brother Lord Rothermere took control. It was under his regime that the ''Daily Mail'' published the &amp;quot;[[Zinoviev Letter]]&amp;quot;. This letter which purported to be from Grigori Zinoviev, president of Comintern, the internal communist party of the [[USSR]], was addressed to members of the Labour Party of Great Britain and exhorted them to carry out a violent revolution. The letter was a very plausible one, originating in Riga, and although it later turned out to be a forgery, the editor of the Mail had no reason to doubt its genuineness at the time. Four days later the [[Labour Party]] was defeated in the 1924 general election.  Historians agree the letter was a forgery but their consensus is that it made little difference in the election. The fact was that the Labour government's recognition of the Soviet Union had been unpopular and it only held power because of the temporary support of the Liberal Party, and a rift within the Conservative Party. Once those factors changed, Labour had little or no chance of winning the 1924 election.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://history.blog.gov.uk/2014/01/22/whats-the-context-britains-first-labour-government-takes-office-22-january-1924/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After the election Labour leaders used it as an excuse for their failure; it became a roadblock to needed internal reforms in the Labour party.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/politics/1999/feb/04/uk.politicalnews6S&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==1930s==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 1930s, the ''Daily Mail'' was politically sympathetic to [[fascism]], and Lord Rothermere wrote articles praising the [[British Union of Fascists]] and  their leader [[Oswald Mosley]] in particular for showing “sound, commonsense, Conservative doctrine”. One headline notoriously read &amp;quot;Hurrah for the Blackshirts&amp;quot;. However, he toned down his support after the Fascist party was involved in street violence. The ''Mail''’s political stance was also influenced by Rothermere’s personal friendship with both [[Benito Mussolini]] and [[Adolf Hitler]] and his [[Nazi Party]] – the only newspaper to support them both consistently. Rothermere sent Hitler a telegram of congratulations after Germany invaded the [[Sudetenland]] in 1938. The Mail was one of several British newspapers to publish extracts from ''The Protocols of The Elders of Zion'', and was critical of the Balfour plan to set up the State of Israel.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Griffiths, Richard. ''Fellow Travellers of the Right: British Enthusiasts for Nazi Germany, 1933-39''. Jeffrey Herf, ed., Anti-Semitism and Anti-Zionism in Historical Perspective: Convergence and Divergence. Routledge, 2013, 120-123.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Neville Chamberlain]]’s [[appeasement]] policy was supported by the ''Daily Mail'' until after the [[Munich Agreement]], but the newspaper changed its stance after the Nazi invasion of [[Poland]] in 1939 and thereafter whole heartedly supported war against the burgeoning Nazi tyranny. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Mail's attitude needs to be seen in the context of prevalent positive or tolerant attitudes towards Hitler in the 1930s. As late as Saturday 29 February 1936, the ''Daily Mirror'', a socialist newspaper, featured an exclusive personal interview with Hitler on its front page. It had a large picture of the Fuhrer making the Nazi salute and the headline &amp;quot;Hitler's Let's Be Friends&amp;quot; Plea To the World&amp;quot;. It described him as a &amp;quot;Man of the People&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Man of Destiny&amp;quot;, and allowed him to put his own case at length, claiming to be a &amp;quot;Man of Peace&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Daily Mirror, Saturday 29 February 1936.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the pre-war period, Hitler was widely seen as the leader who had done most to solve Germany's economic woes and overcome unemployment. Among those who went from England to meet Hitler in the 1930s were not only Lord Rothermere but also George Lansbury, the Labour Party leader, and David [[Lloyd George]], the veteran Liberal leader, who was photographed shaking Hitler's hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Support for euthanasia==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Daily Mail recently published an article in support of euthanasia.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1215710/A-N-WILSON-I-wake-night-wishing-I-killed-mother-But-Keir-Starmer-wrong.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The article and author of the piece stated that:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;When I wake up in the watches of the night, I still wish that I had killed my mother. In her late eighties, this spirited, independent, active (almost hyperactive) old lady began to slither downhill.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;For a few months, I felt almost grateful that she did not know what was happening to her.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;She was never happy for a single minute in those last years, until the last day when a kind of peace descended&amp;amp;hellip;If only she had died before she reached this state! If only her hitherto dignified life had ended as nature so plainly meant it to end.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;As I began by saying, I wish I had possessed the courage to smother her with a pillow, rather than leaving her in that living hell for over two years. Had the roles been reversed, I would have begged her to kill me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I do not know whether my poor mother would have wanted an assisted suicide or not. All I know, since watching her agonisingly slow death, is that I would most definitely want to take my own life, or for someone to take it for me, before I reached this stage.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;I see no virtue whatsoever in these terminal circumstances, in pretending that there is some mystical thing called 'life' which God or Morality have forbidden us to terminate&amp;amp;hellip;The half-life of paralysis, and pain, and misery for all around you is no life at all. In my view it is far better to end it all in circumstances which are, if possible, in your control.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;So yes, I would welcome the legalisation of assisted suicide in this country and would support any moves to bring it on to the statute books&amp;amp;hellip;The trouble is that Keir Starmer's guidelines are no help at all - in fact, they mean we are in the ludicrous position of the law saying one thing and doing another.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;Increasing numbers of people in this country believe, like me, there is an overwhelming case for changing the law. The two objections to changing the law do not stand up&amp;amp;hellip;One is that the system is open to abuse. It is claimed that unscrupulous carers or family will force sick or elderly patients to 'opt' for suicide because they do not want to be a burden&amp;amp;hellip;But the sorry reality is that unscrupulous and unpleasant people will always abuse the weak and the elderly, whatever the law. Their malign activities will go on whether the assisted suicide is legalised or not&amp;amp;hellip;The second objection to legalising assisted suicide is that there is often something noble about people suffering an illness for as long as nature or God decree&amp;amp;hellip;There are those who cite the example of Jade Goody - a girl who lived in many ways a terrible and immoral life but who bravely used her terminal cancer to give her children a decent future&amp;amp;hellip;Yet most cancer patients are not represented by Max Clifford and will not make a million from their prolonged deaths&amp;amp;hellip;On the contrary, for many families the continuation of a terminally sick patient's lingering condition in expensive care can be ruinously expensive, especially if the relatives have to give up their jobs to become carers.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;It is true that unscrupulous children might make parents feel that they are a burden. But the illness and decrepitude of some patients is often placing a burden - an intolerable burden - on families, making it impossible for them to live their lives and calling for reserves of goodness or sheer energy which they simply do not possess.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;It is not immoral for carers and younger family members to feel entitled to a bit of a life apart from the agonising bedside, and I fail to see why the preservation of life in such circumstances is always to be seen as virtuous.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;But beyond this, in a free society, it seems intolerable that grown-up sentient beings can not decide when to bring life to an end, without the added horror that those they love best will be criminalised.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Recent history==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fortunes of the ''Daily Mail'' were revived after a decline in the 1950s by its then-editor Sir David English, and its current editor Paul Dacre continues that trend. He has widened the paper's market by launching an Irish edition and a summarized edition for UK expatriates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The newspaper's website &amp;quot;MailOnline&amp;quot; has been criticised by the newspaper's readers for pandering to people with left-wing views.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Political and editorial stances==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ''Daily Mail'' claims to represent Middle England and Conservative values, opposing the [[liberal]] establishment. It generally opposes the [[European Union]] and the increasing trend to see Britain as part of [[Europe]]. It is usually against immigration, although it has supported the wish of white asylum-seekers from [[Zimbabwe]] to remain in [[Britain]]. It is generally against [[abortion]], [[same sex marriage|same-sex &amp;quot;marriage&amp;quot;]] and in favour of the [[monarchy]], tax cuts and harsher penalties for criminals. It is generally supportive of [[Israel]], although it has recently been attacked for its lack of support for the war in [[Iraq]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It generally takes a strong stand against criminality. It is critical of the British government for &amp;quot;caving in&amp;quot; to edicts from the European Court for example in granting prisoners the right to vote in elections.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5045279/Outcry-MPs-prisoners-right-vote.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It has run a series of articles about bogus &amp;quot;child&amp;quot; migrants posing as refugees.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Revealed: Just one in five lone 'child' migrants caught lying about their age are thrown out of Britain.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-3853830/How-child-migrants-straining-care-British-children-paying-price.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It perceives many public media such as the [[British Broadcasting Corporation|BBC]] as biased to the left politically. Its columnists tend to be politically right-wing. It endorses the [[Conservative Party]] in most elections, and publicly repudiates groups like the [[British National Party]], who are associated with racist (but in many other respects socialist) policies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Mail is often accused of fear mongering with numerous health scare articles (recent examples include &amp;quot;How using Facebook could raise your risk of cancer&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Mouthwash 'causes oral cancer'&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2017, [[Richard Branson]]'s Virgin Train company announced that it would no longer sell the Daily Mail.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/comment/virgin-trains-daily-mail-a8154851.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Wikipedia ban==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Wikipedia]] has banned its editors from using the Daily Mail as a reference, allegedly because of &amp;quot;poor fact checking and sensationalism&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/feb/08/wikipedia-bans-daily-mail-as-unreliable-source-for-website&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This may be an attempt to censor right-wing views. &lt;br /&gt;
There is no objective evidence that the Daily Mail is any less accurate than other British newspapers or mainstream media sources such as The Guardian.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;'''Incels''' (derived from the term &amp;quot;involuntarily celibate&amp;quot;) are people, generally though not always [[men]], who are frustrated at the fact that they remain celibate, despite not wishing to be so. The movement insults [[celibacy]], despite true celibacy being a virtuous trait. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;'''MGTOW''', or '''Men Going Their Own Way''' are a radical men's movement, similar to how [[feminism]] is a radical women's movement. They are against marriage, romantic or even long-term relationships with women.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.returnofkings.com/91186/4-ways-to-stop-being-a-mgtow&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; their main issue for them to avoid marriage is because how family court in western countries became anti-men and favor wives in all ways.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.mgtow.tv/watch/what-happens-to-men-in-family-court_UJatntwCnpKk1Zv.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The movement has become very popular on the internet because of their awareness about hypergamy in relationships after the [[Sexual Revolution]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://shoebat.com/2020/08/26/mgtow-is-mainstream-because-the-struggle-is-real/ MGTOW Is Mainstream Because The Struggle Is Real]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Though their message is [[anti-feminism|anti-feminist]], the end product of their actions, coupled with the actions of separatist feminists, would result in the complete annihilation of the family unit,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://rjastrachan.wordpress.com/2019/04/07/mgtow-radical-feminism-ruin-traditional-family-values/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://biblicalgenderroles.com/2018/11/27/why-mgtow-is-an-unbiblical-philosophy/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and a massive rise of [[homosexuality]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.wehuntedthemammoth.com/2015/04/22/mgtow-warns-women-by-supporting-gay-rights-youll-turn-more-men-gay-and-then-they-wont-marry-you-ha-ha/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; they also known for their promotion of Sex dolls and Robots instead of marriage.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://gunnerq.com/2019/01/30/mgtow-life-the-wages-of-sex-dolls/ MGTOW Life: The Wages of Sex Dolls]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MGTOW are the opposite of ''[[incels]]'', or ''involuntary celibates''. Though they advocate against the symbiotic relationship between the sexes, MGTOW are not misanthropes, and no one identifying as MGTOW has ever committed murder or mass murder.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://mgtowliving.com/mgtow-vs-incel-men-going-their-own-way-vs-involuntarily-celibate/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Values==&lt;br /&gt;
Many of their values are against Christian values, such as them supporting short-term relationships and promoting sex dolls. However they have some good values corresponding with conservative values:&lt;br /&gt;
* Increasing awareness on family court injustice against men.&lt;br /&gt;
* Increasing awareness on hypergamy in relationships after the [[Sexual Revolution]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Opposition to feminism.&lt;br /&gt;
* Encouraging men who are rejected by women to be successful at their jobs, study and increase their fitness.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
'''Nicholas Joseph Fuentes''' is an American [[paleoconservative]] political commentator, activist, internet personality, radio show host, and streamer. He is the founder and president of the America First Foundation, which advocates for [[populism]], [[nationalism]], [[Christian values]] and [[traditionalism]], and seeks to battle the anti-[[caucasian|white]] agenda, mass [[immigration]], the [[Establishment]], and [[Conservative Inc.]] They have run the annual AFPAC event, or the America First Political Action Conference, since 2020. Fuentes currently hosts the episodic livestream series ''America First with Nicholas J. Fuentes'' on Cozy.tv, which he began in 2017 and previously co-hosted the ''Nationalist Review'' podcast with James Allsup (not to be confused with ''[[The National Review]]''). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fuentes is one-quarter [[Mexican]], hence his [[Hispanic]] surname; Fuentes, however, identifies predominantly with his [[Italian]] heritage.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-7xjQxL-TI ''Putting America First''] - YouTube&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He is also 2% [[African]], and thus jokingly refers to himself as &amp;quot;Afro-Latino&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Education &amp;amp; Early Career==&lt;br /&gt;
Fuentes graduated from Lyons Township High School, and was president of the school's student council. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On August 12, 2017, he flew from [[Chicago]] to [[Virginia]] to attend the Second Day of the infamous ''Unite The Right'' rally in [[Charlottesville]], to protest the removal of the [[Robert E. Lee]] Statue. Fuentes claimed that the majority of protesters in attendance were not [[KKK]] members, nor were they [[Neo-Nazis]]. Up until then, Fuentes had been attending Boston University, but left after receiving several death threats, and declared that he wished to move to Auburn University. He applied for transfer admission to Auburn University in fall of 2017, but he did not confirm his enrollment on time.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.al.com/opinion/2017/08/if_alt-rights_nicholas_fuentes.html ''Nicholas Fuentes was admitted to Auburn in May for 2017 fall semester, school says; he must reapply for spring''] - AL.com&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Previously, Fuentes worked as a host on the ''Right Side Broadcasting Network'', but was later fired by Joe Seales after attending the Charlottesville rally, with Seales claiming he was a bad look for the network and that it would hurt RSBN's chances of getting in the White House press briefing room, which they never achieved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Political views==&lt;br /&gt;
Fuentes is a devout [[Catholic]] and self-described paleoconservative, as well as a self-described member of the &amp;quot;dissident right&amp;quot;. He is an anti-[[establishment]] [[populist]], and criticizes both the left and the right. He is a strong [[social conservatism|social conservative]], motivated by his Catholic faith, and uses &amp;quot;[[Christ]] is King&amp;quot; as one of his many catchphrases. He strongly opposes the [[homosexual agenda]] in all of its forms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He is often referred to as a &amp;quot;[[white nationalist]]&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;[[white supremacist]]&amp;quot; by left-wing organizations like [[Wikipedia]], the [[Southern Poverty Law Center]], and the [[ADL]]; he rejects these labels, and has publicly denied being a member of the [[alt-right]], as well as having feuded with Biden operative [[Richard Spencer]], who once shouted violent threats and hateful insults at Fuentes over the phone, calling him a &amp;quot;Mexican peasant&amp;quot;, and telling him to &amp;quot;do my f---ing laundry, you little f---ing spic&amp;quot; as well as saying he &amp;quot;better hope and pray you never f---ing see me in public&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfhPHkYeNwU WORLD PREMIERE | Nick Fuentes RELEASES a call he had with Richard Spencer!] - YouTube&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; When Fuentes and Spencer later did cross paths in public, Spencer proved the threats to be empty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On his show, Fuentes frequently discusses American and European demographics, immigration, and current political and cultural events. Fuentes takes a hard stance against immigration, advocating for an immigration moratorium. He is a major critic of [[Israel]] and [[Zionism]], stating that Israel is not actually an ally of the US. Fuentes is pro-[[Second Amendment]], and has defended the [[Bill of Rights]] in the past. He is an [[America First]] nationalist who supports [[President Trump]], voting for him in both the [[2016 Presidential election]] and the [[2020 Presidential election]]. He also protested for the overturning of the fraudulent [[Biden]] win; however, he is also not afraid to criticize Trump, mainly for his rhetoric on things like the [[Covid vaccine]] and Israel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In wake of the [[Russia-Ukraine war]], he supports Russia and refers to [[Vladimir Putin]] as &amp;quot;[[Tsar]] Putin&amp;quot;. He has also praised Rep. [[Madison Cawthorn]] for calling Ukrainian President [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] a crook.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Controversy==&lt;br /&gt;
Fuentes is often wrongly accused of [[bigotry]] and [[antisemitism]], mainly for his anti-Zionist stance and edgy sense of humor; Jewish conservative [[Laura Loomer]] has come to his defense, saying he has treated her better as a [[Jewish]] woman than big &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; organizations like [[Turning Point USA]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===MTV documentary deception===&lt;br /&gt;
In 2019, Fuentes was contacted by [[MTV]] to supposedly feature in a reboot of the series ''MTV True Life'', following a young conservative activist and a young liberal activist. Fuentes initially had turned them down, but later accepted. The crew came to his town in Chicago and filmed hours of interviews and B-Roll of him, but the original episode pitched never aired. Instead, MTV later repackaged the footage into a bogus documentary titled ''White Supremacy Ruined My Life'', following a man pretending to be a former KKK member, who claims Fuentes' views are dangerous and extremist, with the editors cherry-picking moments from the footage in an unsuccessful attempt to make him sound like one. The documentary also follows a black woman who lost a parent in the Charleston church shooting, further trying to conflate Fuentes with the racist violence he disavows.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://realitycircuit.com/2019/12/12/mtv-releases-comically-bad-documentary-focusing-on-nick-fuentes/ ''MTV Releases Comically Bad Documentary Focusing On Nick Fuentes''] - Reality Circuit&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Matt Walsh===&lt;br /&gt;
On August 7, 2019, Fuentes got into a feud with Matt Walsh of [[The Daily Wire]] on Twitter over comments Walsh made in response to the El Paso  shooting by a supposed &amp;quot;far-right extremist&amp;quot;. Walsh used the shooting to justify a contribution to racist anti-white rhetoric, saying that &amp;quot;white racist scumbags should be executed&amp;quot;. Fuentes expressed disapproval of this statement and called Walsh a &amp;quot;Shabbos [[Goy]] race traitor&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/anti-semitic-outburst-cut-from-white-nationalist-nick-fuentes-podcast-on-el-paso-shooting/ ''Anti-Semitic Outburst Cut From White Nationalist Nick Fuentes’ Podcast on El Paso Shooting''] - Right Wing Watch&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ashley St. Clair===&lt;br /&gt;
On September 28th, 2019, Fuentes appeared in a group photo with Ashley St. Clair, Kathy Zhu, and Baked Alaska, amongst others. Ashley St. Clair was fired from her position at Turning Point USA for appearing in the photo. This sparked outrage on Twitter from Zhu and Fuentes, with Fuentes stating on Twitter, &lt;br /&gt;
{{cquote|&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The message from [[Charlie Kirk]] and TPUSA is loud and clear: if you are a young, thoughtful, intellectual curious Right Winger, you are not welcome in their organization. TPUSA exists solely to enrich its donors, and they’ll cleave off anybody who poses a threat to the cash flow.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
Zhu responded to the firing by stating, &lt;br /&gt;
{{cquote|&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;If they were actually anything close to [[KKK]] members, they wouldn’t even want to be in a picture with the 4 minorities in the photo. Guilt by association is a [[leftist]] tactic that beta-conservatives have adopted.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Groyper Wars===&lt;br /&gt;
In the fall of 2019, Charlie Kirk launched a &amp;quot;Culture War&amp;quot; speaking tour with Turning Point USA. As a retaliation to the firing of St. Clair, as well as to an incident at the 2019 Politicon convention where Fuentes was prohibited by security from entering Kirk's events, Fuentes began a social media campaign urging his followers, known as the Groypers, to go to the events and [[trolling|troll]] the speakers by asking questions regarding Kirk and TPUSA's liberal stances on immigration, Israel, and [[Homosexual &amp;quot;rights&amp;quot;]] during the Q&amp;amp;A sections. These events became known as the &amp;quot;Groyper Wars&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At one event hosted by Ohio State University on October 29, eleven out of fourteen questions asked were from Groypers. They asked questions such as &amp;quot;Can you prove that our white European ideals will be maintained if the country is no longer made up of white European descendants?&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;How does anal sex help us win the culture war?&amp;quot;, the latter referring to Rob Smith&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;No relation to RobSmith, the Conservapedia editor.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;, the other speaker at the event and a major contributor to TPUSA, who is a self-proclaimed &amp;quot;[[gay conservative]]&amp;quot;. One question was disguised as a lighthearted comment suggesting that everyone Google &amp;quot;dancing Israelis&amp;quot;, which actually refers to the five Israeli men suspected to be [[Mossad]] agents, arrested on [[9/11]] after filming the attacks nearby and celebrating. It is still unknown whether these men were Israeli intelligence.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=123885&amp;amp;page=1 Were Israelis Detained on Sept. 11 Spies?] - ABC News&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Another question mentioned the supposedly &amp;quot;accidental&amp;quot; Israeli attack on the [[USS Liberty]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another Turning Point USA event targeted was a promo event for [[Donald Trump Jr.]]'s book, ''Triggered'', featuring himself, Kirk, and his wife Kimberly Guilfoyle at the University of California, Los Angeles, in November of 2019. Anticipating further Groyper questions, they announced that the Q&amp;amp;A portion was cancelled, eliciting heckling and boos from the audience. The overwhelming disruptions eventually forced them to cut the event short and leave after only 30 minutes, when it was originally scheduled to last for two hours.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/pro-trump-conservatives-are-getting-trolled-real-life-far-right-n1080986 ''Pro-Trump conservatives are getting trolled in real life by a far-right group''] - [[NBC News]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Censorship and deplatforming==&lt;br /&gt;
Fuentes is a major victim of [[liberal censorship]], and has been banned from just about every mainstream [[social media]] platform imaginable, and was kicked out of and banned from the [[Conservative Political Action Conference]]. The [[Biden regime]] placed him on the federal No-Fly List in spring of 2021, and had his bank accounts frozen, as well as having large amounts of his money seized by the government without reason.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://cozy.tv/nick/replays/2022-02-15&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In July of 2021, Fuentes was banned from [[Twitter]]. This sparked backlash from many conservatives on social media, including [[mainstream conservative]]s, who took his side despite previously condemning him. This includes [[Ben Shapiro]], whom Fuentes had previously feuded with, and in 2019, tried to confront outside of a Turning Point USA conference in [[Florida]] over a 45-minute speech Shapiro had given about him.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHQDiPcBWEY&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Fuentes received criticism for the confrontation, as Shapiro was with his family. Shapiro used his statement on Fuentes' ban to simultaneously attack Fuentes' views and defend his right to a public platform.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In December 2021, Alt-tech site [[Gettr]] banned Fuentes, as well as the use of the term &amp;quot;Groyper&amp;quot; in posts. Fuentes responded, “What is the point of a free-speech alternative to Twitter...that doesn’t even honor free speech?” &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.thedailybeast.com/jason-millers-free-speech-social-media-platform-gettr-boots-white-nationalist-nicholas-fuentes ''Jason Miller's Free Speech Platform Gettr Boots White Nationalist Nick Fuentes''] - [[The Daily Beast]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.newsweek.com/right-wing-social-site-bans-controversial-term-reaction-1663084 ''Right-Wing Social Media Site Bans Controversial Term, Sparking Fury Among User Base''] - [[Newsweek]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In January 2022, the [[Pelosi Panel]] subpoenaed him along with Patrick Casey in an attempt to get him to testify before Congress.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/white-nationalist-nick-fuentes-subpoenaed-by-jan-6-committee-suggested-killing-legislators-days-before-riot/ar-AASYT3A ''White Nationalist Nick Fuentes, Subpoenaed by Jan. 6 Committee, Suggested Killing Legislators Days Before Riot''] - MSN&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Fuentes denied to testify unless it was televised.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[File:Zelensky transvestism.PNG|right|300px|thumb|[[Ukrainian]] president [[Volodoymr Zelensky]] and former comedian (second from left) wearing tight leather pants and high heels, in a satirical music video.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://medium.com/prismnpen/ukrainian-presidents-queer-parody-riles-american-evangelicals-66b41821b961]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
'''Cross-dressing''' can be a form of [[gender confusion]]. It involves dressing up in the clothing and accessories of the opposite gender by people who follow a homosexual, or transverse life-style. The majority of crossdressers are men, though there are women who dress and behave in an ostentatiously masculine way. Examples of cross dressing include carrying an item of the opposite sex,  smoking a pipe, or wearing a tie, putting on make-up  a lipstick, shaving the entire body, as well as padded bras, and wigs, which is called passing, by crossdressers and transsexuals.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Crossdressing may be an indicator of [[gender confusion]] or a fetish, though not in the case of [[pantomime]], or [[mummering]]. Also in earlier times women were not allowed to act in plays, so that women's parts were taken by men or boys. It is considered a psychiatric disorder (fetishistic transvestism), by conservative Christians, Muslims, etc. Some brave, strong individuals  resist cross-dressing, contrary to the common view that this is not possible. They are merely trying to excuse their behaviour. It is possible to resist it, contrary to what those, who have fallen into sin, say. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Theater==&lt;br /&gt;
Cross-dressing (also known as 'drag') has been associated with the [[theater]] for hundreds of years. In [[Shakespeare]]'s [[England]], women were not allowed to appear on stage, so female roles were played by boys dressed in women's costume. In [[Spanish]] theater at the same time, women were allowed to perform, and the plots of playwrights such as [[Tirso de Molina]] and [[Lope de Vega]] often called for female characters to disguise themselves as men, particularly in [[comedy|comedies]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the present day, cross-dressing is still a feature of some traditional theatrical forms such as [[pantomime]], where dames are played by men in exaggerated female costume&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.its-behind-you.com/pantodames.html Pantomime Dames]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and leading male roles are often played by women as well (e.g. the eponymous hero in ''[[Dick Whittington]]'').&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Religious Views==&lt;br /&gt;
According to conservative Christians cross dressing is a [[sin]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;'''Deut.22:5''': The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Due to sex-selection [[abortion]] and female infanticide, there is a gender imbalance within the Chinese population. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to 2012 figures from the National Bureau of Statistics of the People's Republic of China, China’s sex ratio at birth (the number of boys born for every 100 girls) was as high as 118, while the sex ratio amongst the total population was about 105.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;National Bureau of Statistics of China, Beijing, China&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The statistical data from China indicates that the gap between male and female at birth is far larger than the biologically benchmark ratio (a sex ratio at birth of around 105 males per 100 females).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Poston, L.

In 2016, the ''International Business Times'' reported:&lt;br /&gt;
{{cquote|A senior Chinese advisor on religious affairs has said the country should promote atheism throughout society, in remarks that appear to reflect a deepening campaign to reinforce traditional Marxist values in China — and could add to concern about official attitudes among believers in the country’s five officially recognized religions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.ibtimes.com/senior-chinese-religious-advisor-calls-promotion-atheism-society-2363850 Senior Chinese Religious Advisor Calls For Promotion Of Atheism In Society], ''International Business Times''&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2014, the ''New American'' website indicated:&lt;br /&gt;
{{Cquote|The Communist Party of China (CPC) is letting its members know that the party’s official adherence to [[militant atheism]] has not changed; Party members are not allowed to be Christians, or to hold any other religious beliefs. That is the clear message sent by a top Party official in an editorial published on November 14 in the ''[[Global Times]]'', the international version of People’s Daily, the official newspaper and mouthpiece of the CPC.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/asia/item/19567-china-s-communist-party-reaffirms-marxism-maoism-atheism China’s Communist Party Reaffirms Marxism, Maoism, Atheism], New American, 2014&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

According to the [[BBC]]:&lt;br /&gt;
{{Cquote|At the end of the [[Chinese Communist Party]]'s 19th Congress, the new Politburo Standing Committee was revealed: seven middle aged men in dark suits, without a woman to be seen. There has never been a female member of the Standing Committee.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of the 2,280 delegates at that Congress, fewer than a quarter were women.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That's got some people asking whether the party should take gender equality more seriously. The New York Times wrote of women being &amp;quot;shut out&amp;quot; - but does the Chinese Communist Party have a woman problem?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of the 89.4 million members of the Chinese Communist Party, just under 23 million are women - that's 26%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And women make up 24% of China's National Congress - the sprawling national parliament. You don't have to be a Communist Party member to sit on that.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-41652487 Reality Check: Does China's Communist Party have a woman problem?], BBC&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
