China and the strange history of balloon warfare

China’s ‘spy’ balloon, (or is it an errant weather balloon?), is currently being tracked across America. Picked up above the Aleutian Islands, it was buzzed by US planes above Montana and is now headed eastwards as it is pushed by the prevailing Jet Stream. The Pentagon has decided not to shoot it down; it does not want debris landing on middle America. China insists the balloon is used for meteorological research and strayed because of bad weather. But the incident has prompted US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to postpone his trip to China that was scheduled for next week.


On a more sinister note … Dry run: Balloons called top ‘delivery platform’ for nuclear EMP attack

High-altitude balloons, such as the one China has floated over mountain state military bases this week, are considered a key “delivery platform” for secret nuclear strikes on America’s electric grid, according to intelligence officials.

Spy balloons, used by Japan to drop bombs during World War II, are now far more sophisticated, can fly at up to 200,000 feet, evade detection, and can carry a small nuclear bomb that, if exploded in the atmosphere, would shut down the grid and wipe out electronics in a many-state-wide area.

Sabrina Maddeaux: Trudeau Liberals have given judges license to go easy on rapists

Canada is now a country where someone can rape a woman and serve out his sentence in relative comfort at home. This week, a Quebec court judge gave a 20-month suspended sentence, the first 14 months of which will be served under house arrest, to a man who nonconsensually sodomized his former girlfriend, anally raping her despite her protests.

The Highest Principle

Left-wing DEI bureaucracy has captured Florida State University and installed radical politics as the governing value.

Florida State University has adopted a series of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” programs that divides Americans along a “matrix of oppression,” castigates Christians for their “Christian privilege,” and offers a racially segregated scholarship that deliberately bars white students from applying.

Officially, Florida State officials have claimed in a recent report to Governor Ron DeSantis that they support 23 separate DEI programs and initiatives. But beneath the surface, the ideology has embedded itself everywhere in the university.

Tyre Nichols Fatally Beaten by Invisible White People

Leading lights on the left identify white racism as the root cause of Nichols’ death.

Who killed Tyre Nichols?

The 29-year-old father, lensman, and skateboarder drove home after capturing the sunset in a Memphis park on Jan. 7.

“Photography helps me look at the world in a more creative way,” Nichols stated on his website. “I hope to one day let people see what i see and to hopefully admire my work based on the quality and ideals of my work.”

Erdoğan’s Turkey: NATO’s Trojan Horse Moment

NATO is essentially a security alliance. Its preamble, however, states that the organization is founded on the principles of democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law. The grossly autocratic one-man show in Turkey, a NATO member, features none of that. According to the 2021 Democracy Index prepared by Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), Turkey ranks 103rd among 167 countries. The index evaluation was based on five criteria: electoral processes and pluralism, functioning of government, political participation, democratic political culture and civil liberties.

NYT Waited 500 Days to Report Hunter Laptop Authentication

The New York Times, self-proclaimed “paper of record,” waited more than 500 days before finally reporting it had authenticated critical emails from now-President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop.

The Times allowed the false narrative that the Hunter Biden laptop was somehow “Russian disinformation” to permeate the public debate for over a year when it had obtained evidence to the contrary, according to emails obtained exclusively by Breitbart News.

Germany approves Leopard 1 battle tank exports to Ukraine

Germany has approved the export of older Leopard 1 battle tanks, which would add to the raft of fighting vehicles Berlin promised last week it would send to Ukraine.

A spokesperson said on Friday that Olaf Scholz’s government had granted an export licence for the German-made tanks first produced in the 1960s and replaced within Germany’s own military by Leopard 2 tanks in 2003. Further details would be provided in the coming days and weeks, they said.

On PBS, Amanpour In Sync With Radical Palestinian on ‘Fascist’ Israel Government

Tuesday’s Amanpour & Co. on PBS featured Diana Buttu, blandly described as “a Palestinian lawyer who advised the negotiating team,” but whose actual views were extremely hostile to Israel and radically pro-Palestinian — and in sync with those of host Christiane Amanpour.

Amanpour matched her guest by bringing her own long-standing hostility to Israel and concurrent embrace of the Palestinian cause. The segment reached far beyond concern over the ideology of Israel’s new “right-wing” political coalition under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu into name-calling and support for extremism.
