Durham unmasks alliance between media, Democrat dirt diggers that triggered false Russia story
Just days after Hillary Clinton emissaries Christopher Steele and Michael Sussmann approached the FBI in September 2016 with dirt that would infuse the Russia collusion probe, the campaign’s opposition research firm sent some of the same information to New York Times journalists.
Joe Biden’s Secret Name Revealed in Hunter Emails Is Raising Eyebrows
Hunter Biden’s laptop has revealed a lot, including the depths to which Joe Biden seemed intertwined with his son Hunter’s business, his accounts, and his business partners.
But the laptop has also revealed how they wanted to keep his involvement in the business on the down-low, and Tony Bobulinski has confirmed that. That would suggest that they knew they were doing something wrong and/or doing things they didn’t want people to know about. The emails referred to Joe Biden by various codenames including “Celtic” and “the big guy.”
One of the other things that the email revealed was another alias of Joe Biden’s, even when he contacted his son and others in the emails seen on the laptop. The pseudonym he went by might make one wonder. He used the name “Peter Henderson” — the name of the fictional Soviet KGB spy in the novels of Tom Clancy. The name was connected to his email “67stingray”, which references the Corvette that Biden prizes.
Can we ask why Joe Biden is using the name of a Soviet spy, and what that might portend?
The collapse of Russia will be the beginning of the end of the West
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was largely predictable but it also brought some surprises. It was quite expected that the current U.S. administration would try to draw Russia into the “Ukrainian swamp” in order to weaken and isolate it as much as possible. It was expected that the inexperienced and naive Ukrainian leader would trust the promises of the Biden team and let them to drag his country into a devastating gamble.
It was expected that Russia, seeking to restore its former empire, would use Western provocations to establish its presence in a weak and corrupt Ukraine. It was completely unexpected that instead of a modern, maneuverable, and highly organized Russian army, we saw poorly trained troops erasing entire cities from the face of the earth like nomadic hordes. A terrifying surprise has been the use by the Kremlin against its brothers in blood and faith of the Chechen and Syrian militants. Finally, the biggest surprise was the desperate courage of the Ukrainians themselves and the high combat readiness of their armed forces.
This war will not end in the near future. Most likely, it will lead to the destruction of Ukraine and the extreme weakening of Russia, exhausted by excessive exertion of forces and sanctions.
China and Russia’s ‘Space War’: Where Is The US?
Space-based threats from China and Russia have grown exponentially in recent years, according to a new report on the issue by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), published April 12.
“Evidence of both nations’ intent to undercut the United States and allied leadership in the space domain can be seen in the growth of combined in-orbit assets of China and Russia, which grew approximately 70% in just two years,” noted Kevin Ryder, DIA senior analyst for space and counterspace. “This recent and continuing expansion follows a more than 200% increase between 2015 and 2018.”
Poland, Bulgaria say Russia cutting gas supply over refusal to pay in rubles

Col Douglas Macgregor Delivers Truth Bombs Surrounding Ukraine Conflict and Status of $4.7 Billion Spent Sending U.S. Equipment and Aid
Colonel Douglas Macgregor appeared on Tucker Carlson to give a brutally honest assessment of the conflict in Ukraine. Regarding the transfer of heavy weapons and artillery, Macgregor notes something many have discussed.
The logistics of sending in those weapons from western Ukraine (Poland border) to the eastern Ukraine battle encompasses a thousand-mile trek. Russia can easily hit those convoys en route, negating the supply line. Additionally, the U.S. has sent $4.7 billion in military equipment and financial aid so far, and we have no idea who is in control of those weapons.
France says Russian mercenaries staged ‘French atrocity’ in Mali
The French army says it has filmed Russian mercenaries burying bodies near a Malian military base to falsely accuse France’s departing forces of leaving behind mass graves.
The video, filmed with a drone and seen by AFP on Thursday, shows what appear to be white soldiers covering bodies with sand near the Gossi base in northern Mali.
The claim came after a Twitter account using the name Dia Diarra, who describes himself as a “former soldier” and “Malian patriot”, posted pixelated images of corpses buried in sand and accused France of atrocities.

C'est peut-être dû au hasard mais remarquez qu'ils ont les mêmes techniques d'enfumage que la junte militaire algérienne 🇩🇿💊🇷🇺
