Over generations, perceptions distort history, and keeping memory alive is important for national identity.
Last month, Russia marked June 22, the date Operation Barbarossa - or Hitler’s invasion of the Soviet Union – began in 1941. As a former American officer from a military family, whose close ancestors fought in World War II, I could not but reflect on why in America the date that war began for us – December 7, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor – is not observed as solemnly as June 22 is in Russia.
Life for us will get simpler, for sure, but it doesn’t have to be a trip back to the eleventh century….
The Party of Chaos is draping its narrow shoulders in black crepe this Fourth of July, putting on funereal airs, which is actually just another cynical act in their remorseless performance of pretending to care about our country, as everything they touch goes to shit, blood, and ruin.

Until people learn that the same propaganda they see in media, schools, and entertainment today - lying to them and subverting society - they won't know who their true enemies are.
And, the most important thing to remember is that it has been in effect for at least the last 100 years.

Yesterday, we had an article about lemon trees and fertilizer.
When my wife and I went on the Trans-Siberian Railway we had a side tour to a very remote farming community in Western Siberia. The community was very traditional in the old ways of dressing and house design and decoration and had a thriving vegetable garden and fruit orchard. We were in a group of 40+ people and the locals were overjoyed that we might deposit stuff into their toilet for use on their gardens. They very actively encouraged us to use the facilities as much as possible.

They give us joy in their shade; joy in their fruit and comfort in their very existence. They titillate our taste buds, smell magnificent and look somehow comforting. I love lemon trees.

We must consider banning COVID-19 vaccines that are causing mass casualties and death, because if the rationale is based on the tools and devices used to murder mass numbers of innocent humans, then the COVID “clot shot” jabs certainly need to be the priority. Where’s the proof? Let’s start this off with one of the largest life insurance companies in the country, One America, that just paid out 163 percent more in 2021 for “no-pandemic-related” deaths for working folks ages 18 to 64. That’s $6 billion over and above the usual claims.

Homosexual activity has been going on since the fall of mankind, but what began in earnest in the 1970s has now metastasized into a full-blown cancer on the earth. I’m talking about the radical homosexual agenda, which is now directly targeting our young children. We’ve become so “woke” here in America that to have any doubts that this sexual deviancy is unnatural or “not normal” makes most people question whether or not they’re actually hateful bigots.

In 1937, Boris Orman was working at a bakery in Russia when he shared a joke over tea with his colleague.
“Stalin was out swimming, but he began to drown. A peasant who was passing by jumped in and pulled him safely to shore,” the joke went, according to British writer Jonathan Waterlow. “Stalin asked the peasant what he would like as a reward. Realising whom he had saved, the peasant cried out: ‘Nothing! Just please don’t tell anyone I saved you!’”

Since the US Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, the hysteria coming from the left has been in full force, with extreme reactions that have taken the pro-choice movement to pro-abortion cringe.
Frustratingly, there is a lot of misunderstanding as well as downright ignorance about what the Supreme Court decision means in the first place. The court did not ban abortion, as so many Twitter keyboard warriors seem to think, and they have no authority to do so.

Countries everywhere welcomed Gay marriage and no one really minded – it was seen as a fair thing to do…. Yet since then, we have witnessed an alarming increase in gender dysphoria and transgender rights that have left many of the gay community gobsmacked and aghast. Previously private parts of human relationships are now being promoted and displayed by many from the Main Stream media.

Congratulations to Ted Dwyer in “Spectator Australia” (25/6/22) for asking why Australia has bet-the-house on the US/NATO adventurism in Ukraine.
There are few innocent parties in Ukraine today - an undeclared civil war has been simmering for this whole century.
