A Chinese state sponsored Cyber attack by a hacker known as APT 31 aimed at the UK voting system and members of parliament in 2021/22, has been exposed by the UK government today. The announcement has just been made and exposes the Chinese government and their actions. Fortunately the cyber attack was unsuccessful due to UK security measures. This makes everyone aware of the threat that China poses to democracies.

i was surprised that i do not see anyone talking about this. your well will not belong to you and be public. you will need permits for everything, the only water you can use to grow will be rainwater you collect but even that can change. if a person plans to live off grid oregon is not the place for you.

In February, Elon Musk dared to complain on Twitter that “Nobody is pushing this war more than Nuland.” He was referring to Victoria Nuland, the US undersecretary of state for political affairs, who has served four administrations as a pillar of the Department of State. The only administration that didn’t request her services was Donald Trump’s. He may have judged Nuland’s personality as incompatible with his “America First” philosophy. Trump was well aware of the fact that Nuland was the wife of neoconservative thinker, Robert Kagan, one of the most visible instigators of George W Bush’s invasion of Iraq.

Trump based his primary campaign on breaking with fellow Republican Bush’s disastrous foreign policy that had produced unending chaos in the Middle East. The Donald felt perfectly capable of independently crafting his own disastrous policies. He demonstrated his capacity when he pulled the US out of the Iran deal, the Paris climate accord and wiggled out of various nuclear disarmament agreements (the INF Treaty, Open Skies and START).

In the 20th century presidential campaign, Trump had established himself as the anti-Republican establishment candidate. He scored his first major victory in 2016 when, waging an assault on the folly of George Bush’s invasion of Iraq, he quickly eliminated from the primary race the favored Republican candidate, Jeb Bush, George’s brother.

What may seem more surprising is the trust Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama’s Secretary of State, placed in Nuland when she appointed a symbol of neo-con ideology her State Department Spokesperson. Was Clinton’s intention to show the world that, on her watch, despite President Barack Obama’s image as a peacemaker, foreign policy would not deviate from the outrageous belligerence of the Bush era? Clinton’s successor, John Kerry, in 2013 appointed Nuland Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs. He promptly sent her to Ukraine to prod on a movement that, under her guidance, would produce a spectacular coup d’état.

Musk was obviously aware of Nuland past when he accused her of being the principal promoter of a tragically uncontrollable war in Ukraine. Shortly after Musk’s tweet, journalist David Ignatius mentioned the tweet in an interview with Nuland. Her response reads as an astonishing but not surprising non sequitur. “Well, I would start with a basic fact here, which I’m confident is well known, which is if this war is to end, it could end tomorrow if Vladimir Putin chose to end it and to withdraw his troops. So this is not about us.”

Nuland’s denial of agency has become the standard truism used in the West to close the debate on how the war in Ukraine should be settled. Even anti-establishment Jeremy Scahill of the Intercept recently insisted that “there’s one person who could end this tomorrow, and that’s Vladimir Putin.” He had been criticizing Biden’s risky escalation in Ukraine and his duplicity concerning the Nord Stream attack. Scahill probably felt it necessary to use the facile disclaimer to deflect the suspicion that he was pro-Russian. In contrast, Nuland utters the cliché to counter Musk’s accusation of being a warmonger. By adding “this is not about us,” she wants the public to believe that she is just an innocent bystander with no influence over events.

Nuland’s notorious intercepted phone call with US Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt in February 2014 tells a different story. She appears as a kind of behind-the-scenes revolutionary leader. The ultimate irony is that the pretext for the people’s protests was Ukraine’s candidacy to become a member of the European Union. In her phone call, what did Nuland have to say about that issue? “f*ck the EU!”

What has the world become. A million years to climb out of the trees and caves and now man is returning to them. Gangs take over and run rampant. The un-developed countries flood north to take over developed, leaching off the lib fools using hard working taxpayers money to pamper them. Meanwhile the illegals demand it all, refuse to let go of their proud homeland, , and will take any cash they can get to send home so support their family and when they have enough to live well..hi it back to those countries.
Meanwhile homeless and poor get shown the door.
Major cities that once were Americas pride are now garbage dumps filled with muggers, looters, shop lifters, druggies and traffickers. So main corporations, companies and citizens flee to safer, non lib states and towns.
A major Chicago building, next to the old Sears tower, just sold at 90% of what it had been bought for.
Stores can't lose any more good, risk employees safety and hang it up. Illegals wander into suburbs either robbing or knocking on doors demanding food, clothes or cash.
Now cities are looking to raise taxes to take care of illegals. And when the money and handouts run out, what will a million illegals be doing?
Yet we have bleeding hearts demanding government do more for people who hate America. Biden looks at raising taxes and spending more. Mom told me when I was a kid, Dems are the party of tax and spend. Man, was she right!
Bidenomics is booming. Meanwhile down on the streets, stores raise prices and offer less. Wages go up and costs go up. Rents rise so people chose rent or food. Big Pharma invents pills and a disease to shove them at you for. Never heard of it, but, hey..believe the ads..you suffer from it.
People are spending. Savings. Credit cards. But, both are maxing out. Then what? Censorship is alive and well. Say the wrong thing and get deleted. Pretty soon, the people will be deleted. Soylent Green anyone. Oh, right, you don't deserve the good crackers. You ARE the good crackers.
Be a whistle blower in the US now and end up Putinized.
Work hard and watch your company close. Get a raise and see that automaton move in to take your job.
Read about the inflation my dad lived through in Germany after WW1. He always said the US would go the same route. He was right.

I will start of sharing my favorite 1960 presidential campaign commercial. Please contribute yours too….

Yuliya Navalnay, the wife of Navalny who she states was murdered by Putin, has requested the Russian people to protest at midday on 17th March when elections are held ( election's? joke ) They should form long queues at polling stations and vote for any alternative candidate to Putin, or spoil their ballot papers. The world will see the protest.

I hope we can take our country back. Proof Democrats Use Death to Take Our Gun Rights But Not To Protect Our Rights and Lives

I love the brothers..

Biden gave the state of the union address last night and have to say Joe wasn't sleepy in the least bit. He was clear, powerful and covered many topics stating facts and figures, especially with border security.
Good job Joe...
I didn't expect them to chant "Four more Years, Four more Years"

Whilst holding meeting in Odessa, Zelensky and Greek PM witness nearby explosion following Russian missile attack. A bit dangerous, because if the Greek PM had suffered in any way, Greece being a NATO member, could have triggered a big response. Yes. War with NATO.
