Blogsthe american man and his english mutt....The wilder conspiracy theorists will tell you that the British Royal Family are actually lizards and the financial centre of the City of London, greatly inferior to Wall Street in turnover, apparently still rules the world. Let us lay aside such simplistic theories and look at some facts.

a big trip for a pope.....CNN — Pope Francis formally began his 8,000-kilometer trip to Mongolia on Saturday, a country sandwiched between Russia and China that has a tiny Catholic population. Catholics from Mongolia and other countries, some seen waving Chinese flags, gathered in the main square of capital city Ulaanbaatar to catch a glimpse of the pontiff during an official welcome ceremony.
lewd heaven and lovely hell....“Lowell is a small town where the only reasonable response for a talented man like Kerouac is to clear off. We were only there for a night, but for me a night without a woman is like Gerry Conlon’s prison sentence — long and completely unjust.
the empire has been at it for a long time....Western politicians are so obsessed with the idea of delivering a “strategic defeat” to Russia that they put themselves and their own nations in danger, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the UN General Assembly on Saturday. The prolonged feeling of impunity has made the West blind to the risks to its own survival, he added. “A goal of inflicting a ‘strategic defeat’ upon Russia has been declared,”Lavrov said, commenting on the current policies of the US and its allies. “This obsession has ultimately blurred the vision of the reckless politicians, who feel a sense of impunity,” he warned, adding that “all the while, [they] lose the sense of self-preservation.”
154 countries have joined the silk road. canada isn't one of them....In Asian media this week: Canada, India tensions have sorry history. Plus: BRI shows most countries shun ‘decoupling’; Myanmar rebels ‘will never give up’; China to dominate green car market; Putin and Kim lead ‘axis of outcasts’; China decline the fashionable chatter in Washington.
By the time of this month’s G20 summit in New Delhi, ties between Canada and India had become so frosty that Justin Trudeau skipped the official world leaders’ dinner.
ignore the moronic media. write YES on the referendum paper.....The ‘disinformation’ (read: lies and bullshit) being propagated about the indigenous Voice to Parliament by the Murdoch media, among others, harms our society. It promotes division, celebrates and cultivates ignorance and bigotry, oppresses a minority and diminishes us all. Why do we tolerate such behaviour?

they love toyota.....EU chief warns of Russian ‘nuclear threat’ Ursula von der Leyen appeared to suggest that Moscow was responsible for the bombing of Hiroshima European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has appeared to imply that Russia, rather than the US, dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima during World War II. The top EU official was invited to an event hosted by pro-NATO think tank the Atlantic Council on Thursday, where she introduced Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and described him as “an ally and a friend.” Much of von der Leyen’s speech was dedicated to condemning Russia for the conflict in Ukraine, as well as praising Japan for joining the US-led campaign to punish Moscow.
vladimir putin does not play golf. — warning: satire coming up....Gutfull, or Gutfeld whatever his name is, is often quite right about views of the world… His regular guests are on the conservative money as well. But in his show about the transAmericanUkrainian idiot threatening the naughty journalists who are supporting Putin (they are not “Putin lovers” per se but they explain the truth which is unsavoury for American eyes and ears, including gootfled's) Gutflab makes a few silly quips about Putin being a bad guy… Hello? Worse than Ivan the not so terrible? Feeling the breeze of another oligarch falling while standing next to an open window?
we're the guardians of reality....I cheered silently when I read the headline on France 24 about Russia’s Putin saying the Ukraine grain deal won’t be restored until the West meets Moscow’s demands on its agricultural exports. Russia must counter the maniacal strategies with weighty consequences, or the Ukraine bloodbath will continue perpetually. Why should the Russians give an inch after being pushed into the corner? The sooner the public understands this, the sooner we can demand a stop.

les royals de french pyromanes — all is well in the best country voltaire ever lived in.....The three-day trip began with the King and Queen touching down at Orly airport, near Paris. They were greeted by the French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, before driving to a ceremonial welcome at the Arc De Triomphe in Paris. At the Arc de Triomphe, the King and Queen were greeted by the French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte.
it's time to put this baby to bed......As Joe Biden promises that the world is going to stand with Ukraine, it's time to take a reality check... — Ukraine is a corrupt space. — Ukraine isn't one country but a collection of provinces, some of which have chosen to go with Russia — The Kiev government is a fascist/neo-Nazi/Nazi government. — The rate of casualties sustained by the Kiev armies to defend the indefensible is catastrophic.
MAKE A DEAL PRONTO BEFORE THE SHIT HITS THE FAN:
NO NATO IN "UKRAINE" (WHAT'S LEFT OF IT) THE DONBASS REPUBLICS ARE NOW BACK IN THE RUSSIAN FOLD — AS THEY USED TO BE PRIOR 1922. THE RUSSIANS WON'T ABANDON THESE AGAIN. CRIMEA IS RUSSIAN — AS IT USED TO BE PRIOR 1954 A MEMORANDUM OF NON-AGGRESSION BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE USA.
EASY.
THE WEST KNOWS IT.
very stealthy or carelessness in bad weather?......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn_UYkxXLwI 'Outnumbered' discusses why it took the Pentagon 28 hours to find a missing F-35 fighter jet... Pentagon mocked for losing track of $80M fighter jet for 28 hours
CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA: The eventual discovery of the missing F-35 around 80 miles from its base after a frantic 28-hour search is raising serious questions regarding how the Pentagon can lose such an expensive aircraft.
there is always a solution around the corner: talk about it.....We're falling behind. Last week, the UN released a report on its first global stocktake, which is designed to measure progress on the Paris Agreement, an international treaty adopted in 2015 to limit warming to below 2C. While the stocktake found progress had been made, there was still a huge gap between commitments and what countries were actually doing to achieve them. "Against forecasts made prior to its adoption, the Paris Agreement has led to contributions that significantly reduce forecasts of future warming, yet the world is not on track to meet the long-term goals of the Paris Agreement," the report found.
the end of "globalisation by the empire" and the beginning of cooperation and self-determination.....The USA and NATO have imposed total sanctions on Russia in order to destroy its economy and to end the economic traffic of NATO countries with Russia. These sanctions do not only affect German companies prohibited from doing further business in their branches in Russia. Many German corporations have had to close their branches in Russia – whether they will ever reopen depends on the duration of the sanctions, so it is likely to be doubtful. The end of global ownership and trust by Professor Dr Eberhard Hamer, Mittelstandsinstitut Niedersachsen e.V.
history is being written by the developing countries away from the american empire.....History will not look fondly upon the “Nazis and the liberals” who are pushing progressive ideology, such as transgenderism, onto children, political analyst Jackson Hinkle told RT in an interview on Tuesday. The host of ‘The Dive with Jackson Hinkle’ stressed that the US and Western Europe are beginning to lose their global influence in an “ever-changing multipolar world” and are becoming a “hollow skeleton of power” and a “crumbling empire.” “Empires are most dangerous when they’re rising or falling, and right now that’s definitely the case for the United States and the West,” Hinkle said, noting that apart from a nuclear war, there is little Washington could do to stop the development of countries like China and Russia.
