Discontinuous bits—or are they? Among the allegations made to justify the claim that Putin is a “dictator” and all around Bad Guy is the claim that he has conducted assassinations of Russians living in the West. The most recent one—I believe—is the attack on a former MI6 spy, Sergei Skripal, and his daughter, Yulia. Skripal was imprisoned in Russia for his spying in 2006, but was released in a prisoner swap in 2010. Five years ago, in 2018, he and his daughter were poisoned in the UK, allegedly with Novichok, which is an extremely deadly nerve agent. The Skripals survived, but are essentially in hiding—or in custody, if you prefer. The UK immediately accused Russia and Putin for the attack, but on closer examination many have come to suspect that this was, in fact, a deliberately designed MI6 provocation designed to whip up anti-Russian hysteria. Zerohedge has republished a summary of what is now known:
Concerning feminism on campus, the good news is that these places are increasingly irrelevant to real life. Many clever young men are going to trade school instead or are getting degrees online. These places make a lot of noise and headlines, but they are increasingly isolated echo chambers. As for trannies taking over women's sports, it's not my battle. Women are going to have to sort that one out for themselves. I'm just glad I married a sane, strong and sensible woman and have protected my kids from the insanity. The pendulum will swing back eventually, if only because we are facing the kind of hard times that don't give a damn what our pronouns are.
I read Heather Macdonald’s article at CJ and sent it to a friend who was a tenured professor of Spanish for 30+ years at Loyola. She wrote back, “women demand group obedience - it’s a tribal mentality.” Well, so much for the real meaning of “university!” The college campus has become one big day-care operation, run by, in NYU’s case a “trauma and bias” social worker, dispensing the current victimization blather, an epicenter of (mainly female) unresolved anger and grievance…all this portends continued chaos and uncertainty for the future of our society and our republic. I recommend anything and everything Camille Paglia has written on the subject! Tx Mark for adding Widburg’s take on Macdonald’s piece…
The so-called Skripal Poisoning sure sounds sketchy. Either the Russians are very incompetent, or the Russians were framed.
And with the Jan 6 narrative lies proven by Tucker tonight showing to what degree the globalists / left/ Democrats / media LIE, and how the UK is on an anti Putin crusade, there is a motive.
I wondered "Why so much focus on this?" when news of the Skripal poisonings jumped out & dominated coverage for wks. Months? Stark confirmation that when they say "Look here!!!" we shd be looking elsewhere...
Once again we can look to Hollywood. "Wonder Woman" is portrayed as having more brawn than men. Followed by numerous films of women out performing men. Commercials show women and kids and even pets smarter than Dad.
Milley went to Syria because the Zhou admin. has tasked the various admin. heads to visit Ukraine and Milley (who is unsupportive) had to have a backup plan.
Growing up, boys were checked on their aggression but girls were unchecked on controlling their emotions. Results are epidemic - both toxic and canceled feminity.
LOL. My view is the brain is a computer hard drive divided into sectors. The sector for proper nouns especially is no longer accessible on instant recall.
The Revolution is a global operation. I have been following the going ons over in Ireland throughout the WuHu Flu madness. It just keeps going, and going, and going.
Great stuff. Causes so many thoughts to spring to mind that I struggle to comment coherently. As a quick, slightly off topic anecdote that supports the feminization of America, I give you this observation.
I played college football waaay back in the 80's. Love the sport because it and all the lessons it provided me basically saved my life. After my military service I became involved in youth football as a coach. Loved every minute of it except, dealing with what I came to believe was the single largest problem in the sport - aside from head injury but that's another story. The problem was what I termed "football mom's" and by that I don't mean to disparage the one's who love the game. I mean the one's who, prior to every season I would have to sit with and plead with them to let little Johnnie play one more year. That the vast majority would play youth and high school, learn great lessons that were hard to find anywhere else and then move on to productive, healthy lives. They weren't going to be movie extras in Walking Dead remakes just because they play a game of violence for a few short years. I could go on and on. For me it is one of the little issues that, when added into everything else going on in American life leads me to believe that it isn't just the feminization of academia that is killing us. The attack on football has been very, very hard on youth football in my area.
By the way, to any female readers of this great substack I wish to add - I've been married for 32 years to a women who loves football, hockey and any other sport of violence. She is also feminine as hell and I love her for it. There are millions of women just like her too!! We raised a daughter who likes to mix it up as well so we're doing our level best to counter the wacko-nuts out there.
As a further aside - my wife is always kidding me about how I can't remember sh** and says its my years as an offensive lineman that did it. For the record, I don't care! Loved every damn minute of it.

My question remains: I get it that the neoncons need war, but why are they ensuring they will lose it by provoking the whole world?
