Soviet-era's last US envoy to Moscow comments on war atrocities accusations against Russia
Moral outrage over images of apparent war atrocities in Bucha, Ukraine is understandable, but the calls to turn Russia into a pariah state are ill-advised, a former US ambassador to the Soviet Union warned on Monday, during an appearance on CNN. Jack Matlock held various positions during the height of the Cold War and was Washington's representative to the USSR in the final years of the communist powerhouse. The veteran diplomat warned CNN audiences that the drive to further antagonize Russia, which prevails in the West, is ill-advised, especially since it's driven by emotions rather than reason. "I share many of these emotions, but to the idea that we can make a major nuclear weapon state a pariah, that by our actions we actually are destroying those elements in that society that could bring a positive change in the future. I think that is not wise," he said.

Ukraine rejects exchange of Crimean POWs, Russia to provide evidence to UN amidst fears Kiev may execute them
Russia's human rights ombudsman has pledged to investigate information that some Crimean officers, held captive in Ukraine, have been allegedly designated by the Kiev authorities as "unexchangeable" and could even be subject to execution. Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, Tatiana Moskalkova confirmed that Russia and Ukraine had earlier conducted an exchange of prisoners in the "86 to 86 format." She also said she was given a list of some Crimean officers, whom Ukrainian authorities allegedly would not allow to be exchanged, and who, she fears, may face execution.

Joe Rogan reveals that woke 'anti-racist' ideology was pushed on his 9-year-old child in California school
In Tuesday's episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, the show's host and namesake revealed the "anti-racist" ideology that his child's school in California pushed following the death of George Floyd in May of 2020. "When the whole George Floyd thing happened, one of the school's that my kids were going to back in California released this email, saying that it's not enough to not be racist, you now must be anti-racist. And my kid's nine at the time. What does that, what does that mean?" Rogan asked. "These kids are not even remotely racist. Like, they have all sorts of different kinds of friends. They — I've never heard them discuss it once. It's just 'I like this person and she's nice to me and we like to play together and we both like the same things' and let's — so to tell a nine year old that you have to be anti-racist, well, then they go looking for racism, they're gonna go looking to confront it," he added.

EU to ban coal, Russian ships from EU ports, but not agricultural products or oil, in yet another round of selective sanctions
The European Commission proposed new sanctions against Russia, including a ban on buying Russian coal and on Russian ships entering EU ports, while it is also working on banning oil imports too. After "gruesome pictures" from Bucha shocked the planet, the head of the European Union's executive, Ursula von der Leyen, responded that: These atrocities cannot and will not be left unanswered. The four packages of sanctions have hit hard and limited the Kremlin's political and economic options. In view of events we need to increase our pressure further Comment: The reasoning of the pathological. More specifically, EU's new proposal suggests a ban on imports of coal from Russia worth 4 billion euros per year, as well as a full transaction ban on four key Russian banks, including the country's second-largest, VTB.

The absolute gall! Britain's National Gallery changes name of Edgar Degas' painting 'Russian Dancers' to 'Ukrainian Dancers'
'Russian Dancers' is now 'Ukrainian Dancers'. The British National Gallery has changed the name of a 19th century painting by French impressionist Edgar Degas from 'Russian Dancers' to 'Ukrainian Dancers' due to the "current situation." Yes, really. The original name of the painting was cancelled after Ukrainian artist and activist Mariam Naiem wrote letters to numerous western art museums that carried works from the series.

Magnetic field of Milky Way's 'bone' fully mapped for the first time
For the first time, scientists have completely mapped one of the 'bones' of the Milky Way galaxy. That bone is a long, dense filament of cold gas in the densest part of one of the galaxy's spiral arms. It measures around 195 light-years in length; the map, acquired using the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) plane, gives us the first complete picture of the magnetic fields therein. The result defies expectations. Rather than aligned along the length of the bone, the magnetic fields are more higgledy-piggledy, and the average magnetic field is neither parallel nor perpendicular to the bone. This, the researchers said, can help us to better understand not just the structures of spiral galaxies, but their star formation. Comment: It's not the first time that results like these 'defy expectations' and this seems to be because mainstream science is missing a rather significant piece of the puzzle: Why the sun's atmosphere is hundreds of times hotter than its...

Biden babbles and lies about being an 18 wheeler truck driver... AGAIN
Bizarrely claims he had a female truck driver colleague called 'Big Mama'. During a speech Monday regarding trucking supply chains, Joe Biden bizarrely claimed that he used to be a truck driver, had an 18 wheeler that he drove around, as well as a colleague called 'Big Mama'. In one of the most flagrant examples of Biden just making up stuff, he said "I used to drive a truck. It's a long story - anyway... and I thought I was gonna get to drive one of these suckers today," while motioning to one of the prop Mack trucks behind him.

Seabirds are dying by the hundreds in western Newfoundland, Canada
Residents speculating about cause of the die-off, with similar reports in Labrador Dead seabirds are showing up by the hundreds on the ice and on shore near the town of Hampden in western Newfoundland, leaving residents and biologists stumped and searching for the reason why. Longtime resident and murre hunter Gary Gale told CBC News on Friday he has never seen an event of this magnitude before. He said birds began to fly into the bay about a week ago — and within a few days they began to die. "[It's] unbelievable," Gale said. "Several years ago it was common to see seabirds that would pick up oil if you had an oil spill and die from picking up the oil, but I did make a check on some of the birds close to shore and I didn't see any oil in the feathers." Gale said residents believe the birds — which so far seem to be entirely murres — are dying of starvation.

The Coming Global Financial Revolution: Russia Is Following the American Playbook
No country has successfully challenged the U.S. dollar's global hegemony — until now. How did this happen and what will it mean? Foreign critics have long chafed at the "exorbitant privilege" of the U.S. dollar as global reserve currency. The U.S. can issue this currency backed by nothing but the "full faith and credit of the United States." Foreign governments, needing dollars, not only accept them in trade but buy U.S. securities with them, effectively funding the U.S. government and its foreign wars. But no government has been powerful enough to break that arrangement - until now. How did that happen and what will it mean for the U.S. and global economies? The Rise and Fall of the PetroDollar First, some history: The U.S. dollar was adopted as the global reserve currency at the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944, when the dollar was still backed by gold on global markets. The agreement was that gold and the dollar would be accepted interchangeably as global reserves, the dollars...

Disturbing study finds microplastics in human bloodstream
There's a good chance that tiny pieces of plastic are not only in your body but floating in your bloodstream. The news came from researchers in The Netherlands, who analyzed blood samples from 22 healthy volunteers. It's the first time microplastics have been detected in human blood, and according to study author professor Dick Vethaak, an ecotoxicologist at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in The Netherlands, "It is certainly reasonable to be concerned."1 The fact is, plastic is a ubiquitous part of the modern-day world, integrally intertwined with our daily lives, from plastic food packaging and bottles to microbeads found in personal care products. It's estimated that 11 million metric tons of plastic waste enter the world's oceans annually — an amount that could nearly triple by 2040.2

Twitter Workers Worried Elon Musk Will Turn Their Free Speech Platform Into Platform That Allows Free Speech
SAN FRANCISCO, CA — With Elon Musk becoming Twitter's largest stakeholder and a new member of the board of directors, many within the company are worried he may turn their free speech platform into a platform that actually allows free speech. "This could destroy us," said Yinny Xendapoo, Twitter's director of content moderation. "When we say we're a free speech platform, we never intended to actually allow free speech! If we allowed free speech, people might say things we don't like and that's NOT ok."

BEST OF THE WEB: Dr. Robert Malone v WEF
Dr. Robert Malone, one of the initial founders of mRNA vaccines, turned into the most prominent critic, plans to expose everyone in the World Economic Forum (WEF). "They've been working for 30 years to train people to be their gophers...to do their bidding...there are videos of Klaus Schwab bragging about it," Malone stated. "All of these people who want to lock us up and disrespect us are not very smart. I mean, have you watched Trudeau?" Malone admitted it is usually unethical to dox people online, but with "this crowd," ousting them is the only way to beat them. So the doctor spent millions compiling a list of over 4,000 people who are working with the WEF to push forward the Great Reset. >

Biden, Zelensky and the Neocons: When you are in a hole, you can always dig deeper
There are many backstories surfacing from what is going on in Ukraine and Washington that have been largely ignored amid the drumbeat of casualty counts combined with claims and counter-claims from the two sides. Two stories that I believe have received insufficient attention are the US government's three decades long obsession with weakening and de facto destroying the Russian state and the dominant neocon plus associate liberal democracy promoter role in what has become American foreign policy. To be sure, anyone who doubts that the US is currently on a course to not only replace President Vladimir Putin but also to crash the Russian economy is delusional. Washington has been trying to deconstruct the former Soviet Union ever since 1991, beginning with President Bill Clinton's expansion of NATO into Eastern Europe in spite of a pledge not to do so and his unleashing the oligarchs who looted the country's natural resources under President Boris Yeltsin. The pressure continued...

New experiment could confirm the fifth state of matter
A University of Portsmouth physicist has designed an experiment - which if proved correct - means he will have discovered that information is the fifth form of matter. An experiment which could confirm the fifth state of matter in the universe - and change physics as we know it - has been published in a new paper from the University of Portsmouth. Physicist Dr Melvin Vopson has already published research suggesting that information has mass and that all elementary particles, the smallest known building blocks of the universe, store information about themselves, similar to the way humans have DNA. Now he has designed an experiment - which if proved correct - means he will have discovered that information is the fifth form of matter, alongside solid, liquid, gas and plasma.

The world's oldest pants are a 3,000-year-old marvel of engineering
With the help of an expert weaver, archaeologists have unraveled the design secrets behind the world's oldest pants. The 3,000-year-old wool trousers belonged to a man buried between 1000 and 1200 BCE in Western China. To make them, ancient weavers combined four different techniques to create a garment specially engineered for fighting on horseback, with flexibility in some places and sturdiness in others. The softer side of materials science Most of us don't think much about pants these days, except to lament having to put them on in the morning. But trousers were actually a technological breakthrough. Mounted herders and warriors needed their leg coverings to be flexible enough to let the wearer swing a leg across a horse without ripping the fabric or feeling constricted. At the same time, they needed some added reinforcement at crucial areas like the knees. It became, to some extent, a materials-science problem. Where do you want something elastic, and where do you want...
