Kremlin-backed media outlets have been banned throughout the European Union, both on television and on apps and online platforms. RT has lost its Sky TV slot in the UK, where the outlet is also blocked on YouTube. Australian TV providers SBS and Foxtel have dropped RT, and the federal government is putting pressure on social media platforms to block Russian media in Australia.
In the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Latvia, speaking in support of the Russian invasion of Ukraine will get you years in prison.

What is going on in the world right now is becoming more and more like Alice in Wonderland and going down a rabbit hole. The only problem is that this rabbit hole is full of murky water, dirty secrets and more filth than a London sewer in Victorian Britain.
Make no mistake: what is happening in Ukraine is about the underground of the sewer of pedophilia, corruption and money.

At one time, the U.S. possessed the greatest fighting machine ever assembled, but decades of neglect, incompetence and cultural deterioration have taken a devastating toll.
Just look at what happened in Afghanistan. After nearly two decades of fighting, we couldn’t even defeat a ragged bunch of drug dealers and goat herders known as the Taliban.

I received an email this morning that I felt was worth sharing. The author said " Not everybody is surprised by Putin's move, and I am one of them..."
It got me to thinking. What have we allowed to happen to our world, our countries and our sense of self that we are now facing the implosion of Europe and the conquest of the South Pacific and the collapse of everything we hold dear? All because we have a braindead idiot in the Whitehouse?
I have always enjoyed the sound of Welsh male voices … the male voice choirs are excellent, and of the many soloists one in particular stands out like no other … Sir Thomas Jones Woodward. Tom Jones’ voice has a quality that has made him universally admired and loved in the world of music.

A giant Kangaroo has been terrorising the residents of the isolated outback Australian Community of Beerswig Flats and locals fear it is the first of a new super breed of Rogue Roos infected by a mutant strain of Covid-19.

Quite some years ago I worked in a prison. A Maximum Security Male Prison. As a female Officer, I had this crazy idea that I could make a difference.
It was a new prison. State of the Art. A wonder of technology.
One day changed my life. I became a prisoner. For ONE DAY.

When a fellow commenter wrote his article about his days as a dispensing chemist all those years ago, little did I realise that it would excite such commentary on the many social media channels I belong to.... how a chemist is now a drug dealer and a doctor is a pimp for Big Pharma.
It did open an interesting dialogue. The loss of the local Chemist and Doctor and the creation of the pharmaceutical god that now rules our lives. And the clock is ticking down.
