Pat Buchanan, 1999:
“By moving NATO onto Russia’s front porch, we have scheduled a twenty-first century confrontation. … America will face a hellish dilemma: risk confrontation with a nuclear-armed Russia determined to recreate its old sphere of influence, or renege on solemn commitments and see NATO collapse.”
Therefore, he said, “Offering NATO memberships to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and, as some urge, Ukraine is rashness bordering on madness.” Referring to maps the Clinton team must have ignored, Buchanan warned, “This would put the Russian base at Kaliningrad behind NATO lines and bring into a U.S.-led alliance three nations with huge Russian minorities.” Foreseeing future conflict, he observed that “Latvia is almost half Russian; eastern Ukraine, almost entirely Russian. America could neither defend nor liberate these nations without the risk of nuclear war.”

The USSR landed on another planet 10 times. You've never heard about it.
On October 18, 1967, Venera 4 entered the atmosphere of Venus and became the first probe to send back data from inside another planet's atmosphere. Between 1961 and 1984, 13 Venera probes entered Venus's atmosphere - 10 successfully landed on its surface. Venera 9 sent back the first images ever taken from another planet, and Venera 13 became the first to record sounds of another world before being destroyed by Venus's extreme conditions.
Those are the sounds you're about to hear.

Ah yes, Finland, the "neutral bystander" of WWII. Just standing there, totally uninvolved, while Leningrad starved. Cute story. Too bad it's pure fiction.
Finnish troops sat on Leningrad's doorstep for three years, and they weren't sipping coffee. They held one-third of the blockade line. Without Finland, the Germans couldn't have fully closed the ring that starved 1.5 million people to death, including 400,000 children.
On June 25, 1941, Mannerheim ordered the Finnish Army into the war against the USSR:
"I call you to a holy war against the enemy of our nation. Together with the mighty armed forces of Germany, as brothers-in-arms, we resolutely set out on a crusade against the enemy to secure a reliable future for Finland."
And the crusade came with a map. On the "Greater Finland" plan you'll find Murmansk, Leningrad and Kandalaksha marked as Finnish 👇

Five years ago today, Politico reported that the Hunter Biden laptop story was ‘Russian disinfo,’ blessed by the signatures of 50 ex-spooks. It was false.
There has been no correction, no apology... the lie still sits there, fossilised on its site.

The fact that this emasculated softie was at a Celine Dion concert when this riot broke out adds a level of soy that shouldn’t be legal, even in Europe

A genuine question. If Russia’s electronic warfare systems can supposedly divert drones into Lithuania, why can’t they divert them away from Russian oil refineries?
You'd have thought the latter a rather more useful application of the technology.
We regret the incident that occurred this morning in Lithuanian airspace, which may have resulted from Russian electronic warfare diverting drones during an operation against legitimate military targets in Russia.
We apologise for any disruption, risks, and concern this may have caused.
We are committed to sharing all relevant information with our Lithuanian partners to establish the full circumstances of the incident. We will continue to work closely together to prevent similar incidents in the future.
We sincerely thank Lithuania, our ally, for supporting Ukraine in countering Russian aggression, which is the root case of the security threats in our region.

Una turista rusa que estaba de vacaciones en Francia publicó este video en redes sociales en el que se le ve tranquilamente disfrutando de una tarde parisina mientras al fondo reinaba el caos, dice que solo le dieron la visa por una semana así que decidió aprovechar al máximo.

Israel and its supporters exploited an image from this staged video to incite hatred against pro-Palestinian protesters in France.
The original footage exposes the deception. It’s time to expose Israeli disinformation networks behind these campaigns.

Let’s connect some dots.
Oracle was founded in 1977. Its first major client was the CIA. The company’s name came from a CIA project code-named “Oracle.”
Co-founder Larry Ellison (Jewish by heritage, raised in a Jewish family) has been one of the largest private donors to Friends of the IDF.
In 2017 he gave $16.6 million, the largest single gift in the organization’s history at the time, on top of earlier multi-million-dollar donations, plus other support for Israeli causes and close personal ties to Netanyahu.
In 2024, Ellison described a future of AI-analyzed cameras everywhere (body cams, doorbells, dash cams, security feeds) feeding into massive data centers: “Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on.”
Oracle remains deeply embedded in U.S. government work, including a recent multi-billion-dollar Pentagon software deal covering the military and intelligence community, while Ellison helps drive the $500 billion Stargate AI data-center buildout announced alongside Trump, and maintains high-level relationships in Washington and Jerusalem.
That same network now extends into the information layer. Through his son David and Oracle’s capital, the Ellison family has assembled a media portfolio that includes Paramount and CBS, is positioned to take control of Warner Bros. Discovery (CNN, HBO, and the Warner studio library), and holds a significant stake in TikTok’s U.S. operations. The result is ownership spanning major broadcast and cable news, Hollywood production and libraries, and a dominant short-form platform, acquired and expanded with the benefit of the same political access that greases the government and AI infrastructure deals.
With the surveillance infrastructure, the government contracts, the foreign military philanthropy, and the political access all converging on the same network, who do you think really shapes how our government operates? And with the media and platform reach now added to that same network, who shapes how the public perceives news and information?
The Matrix was non-fiction.
