"Men Are by No Means Wont to Wage War According to the Judgment of their Enemies." ~ Belisarius rejects Gothic surrender terms, March AD 537

"Whoever of you has hopes of setting foot in Rome without a fight is mistaken in his judgment. For
as long as Belisarius lives, it is impossible for him to relinquish this city."~Belisarius to the Gothic envoys in AD 537 The above quote is taken from The History of the Wars by the late-Roman historian, Procopius of Caesarea. To set the scene, envision the grand Gothic army of over 100,000 mail-clad warriors newly arrived at their camps about the walls of Rome. Within the walls, Belisarius and his paltry force of less than 6,000 men could barely defend a fraction...

| 5/17/24 | Amy Mek
Defying a police ban, over two thousand Muslims, led by Joe Adade Boateng of the terror-tied Muslim Interaktiv group, gathered in Hamburg advocating for an Islamic caliphate and demanding media compliance with Sharia. In Hamburg, Germany, over 2,000 Islamic supremacists gathered once more on Saturday afternoon, advocating for a caliphate – essentially
a theocratic system devoid of freedoms, laws, and order. The police estimated the crowd to be around 2,300 people. Unlike their previous demonstration two weeks ago, this time, there were no banners or terrorist flags displaying Islamic symbols or direct calls for a caliphate. Instead, many participants held...

One resident captured several photos of the large migrant group strolling through her neighborhood on Tuesday just as...

Discussing the cooling of relations between Russia and the West, Solzhenitsyn’s analysis of the history of the previous fifteen years highlighted the sharpness with which he viewed contemporary events. When
he had returned to Russia he discovered that the West was “practically being worshipped”. This was caused “not so much by real knowledge or a conscious choice, but by the natural disgust with the Bolshevik regime and its anti-Western propaganda”. The positive view of many Russians towards the West began to sour following “ NATO bombings of Serbia”: “It’s fair to say that all layers of Russian society were deeply...
