"The American Revolution was a revolution in the minds of people unlike any other they had known or read about. To change from one form of government to another was not going to be easy. Kings had been rulers of nations for thousands of years. The idea of governing yourself, of meeting together and voting on things: that was a revolutionary idea.
"The only surprising thing was that it wasn't bloodier than it turned out to be, and it turned out to be bloody enough, from one end of the country to the other. If you think that every American got together in 1776 and suddenly decided to throw out allegiance to the King, with all his soldiers and navies standing by... if you take even a minute to think about it, you'd realize how foolish an idea that was.
"Instead, it was very messy. And most often, where the "rubber met the road" was in the currency. What was to be used as the real currency? How was it to be valued? How could you make a change in it? What did it buy?"

Putin has been consistent from the before the Military Operation that he simply wants to be left alone by NATO, the EU and the US. His terms for peace have been reasonable and have not changed.

"The Europeans are terrified of the [Alaska] meeting taking place [on Friday] and they want to stop it. I believe the Russians have probably picked up on it, suggesting that there is going to be an attempt to create some incident, some security catastrophe, that creates the impossibility of following up on this meeting. And the Euros are trying to insert Zelensky into Alaska, whether invited or ...
Brain fog, compromised memory, confusion, mental fatigue or slower thinking ability? The average Covid infection as well as the Covid injection caused documented physiological damage to the brain.
Solutions: keep an eye on the supplement research. Some natural compounds like NAC, Bromelain, Nicotine, Nattokinase, Turmuric, Black Seed Oil and others are repairing damage. Perhaps more important is brain exercise. Think. Read hard books. Do Puzzles. Memorize Scripture. Write letters. Listen to good, orderly, mathematical and beautiful music. Like Bach. Or other gifted classical composers.
Feed your brain precision and order. Below is an example. During a visit in May 1747, the irreverent and proud King Frederick the Great of Prussia presented the Christian Johann Sebastian Bach with a complex musical theme (known as the "royal theme" ) and challenged him to improvise a three-part fugue on the spot. He was certain the Christian would fail. Bach successfully accomplished this feat, ...

According to information obtained through multiple channels, the Kiev regime is preparing a provocation aimed at disrupting the planned Russian-American talks scheduled for August 15 of this year.
To this end, on Monday, August 11, a group of foreign media journalists was transported by the SBU to the city of Chuguev in the Kharkov Region, under the cover story of “preparing a series of reports about residents of the city in the frontline zone.”
Directly before the summit, on Friday, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are reportedly planning a staged strike using drones and missiles on one of the densely populated residential areas or a hospital, with a large number of civilian casualties. The Western journalists brought in are expected to immediately “document” the incident.
