The Second Armenian Genocide; Navy Intel Slide Warns Of China’s 200 Times Greater Shipbuilding Capacity; Lawmakers warn Iranian Spies Have Infiltrated U.S. Govt...more

A campaign of ethnic cleansing is unfolding on the edge of Europe. Last week, Azerbaijan, a predominantly Turkic Muslim state in the South Caucasus, launched a blitzkrieg against Nagorno-Karabakh, an enclave inside the country the size of Rhode Island that is home to 120,000 Armenian Christians. For months, Azerbaijan had blockaded the Karabakhi Armenians, closing off the Lachin Corridor, the only road connecting them to neighboring Armenia and the outside world. The starved population, armed only with small weapons, and with the Russian peacekeepers refusing to intervene, was no match for the onslaught.

“The starved population, armed only with small weapons … was no match for the onslaught.”
An exodus of Armenian Christians has begun. The Lachin Corridor is blocked again, now by thousands of Armenians fleeing for their lives, with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Although Baku promises the outside world that it will “reintegrate” them, Armenians find that impossible to believe. A news blackout prevents the world from seeing what’s happening, but there are many credible reports of atrocities.

We reached a point where, relating to COVID, attempts to treat disease were not just ignored but penalized. As a surgeon, I had operated under the obligation of giving Informed Consent to all my patients. I was expected to clearly explain the risks, benefits, and alternatives of my proposed course of action and allow the patient to make the decisions regarding their response to those recommendations. I could be sanctioned for failing in this obligation. However, in COVID, Informed Consent was criminalized…but only for that disease. Those who still felt an obligation to their patients were, and continue to be, vilified, slandered, fired from their position, and in some cases, prosecuted.

One would have thought that organized medicine, and academic medicine in particular, would have rallied to their defense, but that was not the case. They were the primary prosecutors. I shake my head when I think back to the days that I taught medical ethics to residents and medical students.

Both leaks, the lawmakers write, have the hallmarks of an Iranian intelligence operation and "may indicate that [the] Islamic Republic's intelligence apparatus has been able somehow to obtain access to restricted U.S. State Department emails." Access to these networks is closely controlled, meaning that Iran either hacked the system or was passed the information by a human source.

"This could mean that U.S. government employees leaked restricted and sensitive government documents," according to the lawmakers. "Either possibility is gravely concerning."

The lawmakers also express anger at the Biden administration for ignoring "repeated congressional inquiries into the circumstances that led to the suspension of Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley's security clearance."

Alarming Navy Intel Slide Warns Of China’s 200 Times Greater Shipbuilding Capacity   Shipyard capacity for sustainment of existing fleets is also something that has been a subject of great concern in the United States for some time now. After decades of cutting back on spending, the U.S. Navy has been trying to explore ways to alleviate those issues, including by modernizing its own remaining shipyards and expanding its use of commercial yards to conduct various types of often sensitive work.

However, almost three years into the Biden administration, the vast majority of Americans have changed their minds and now believe that the Biden administration and the Democratic Party represent the most pressing menace to individual freedom and fundamental liberties.

According to a recent poll by Rasmussen Reports, 72 percent of likely voters are concerned that the federal government is devolving into a “tyrannical government that engages in mass surveillance, censorship, ideological indoctrination, and targeting of political opponents,” aka a “police state.”

Americans Aren't Buying The "Great Economy" Narrative    Of course, when you dig into the data and shovel passed the spin, you discover that more and more people are working two or more jobs just trying to make ends meet. That accounts for a lot of the “job creation.” Not to mention the fact that after trumpeting big job numbers one month, government people go back and quietly revise the numbers down the following month. You never hear about that in the headlines.

So, yeah, you can take the data and spin this into the greatest economy in history. But real life doesn’t care about politics and spin. People understand their own economic reality. And they’re not happy about it.

Hollywood's new racist discrimination employment policies which blacklist whites   According to a lawsuit filled by the non-profit legal firm First Liberty on behalf of James Harker, a white film electrician, the film industry has set up a racially segregated apprentice program that specifically excludes whites and is designed only for minorities.

School District Shows Videos Depicting Whites as Mosquitoes   These videos are so ridiculous that you can tell their only intent is to inflame and divide.

“Just imagine, instead of being a stupid comment, a microaggression is a mosquito bite,” one of the videos on “microaggressions” states. In other words, any snide comment that white people make to anyone of color, even if they’re friends, is a “microaggression.”

The buses had operational problems before the company went bankrupt, according to the Cowboy State Daily. In the cold winter months, the battery range of the buses would significantly decrease, especially given that more energy is drained to heat the interior of the buses, according to the Cowboy State Daily. When cold weather drained the batteries, the electric buses reportedly needed to go back into their depots for charging while diesel-powered buses were used to ferry people around as the electric buses regained power.
