Monday on FNC’s “Fox & Friends,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called on President Joe Biden to “go after anybody and everybody who tries to prop up the war criminal” that is Russian President Vladimir Putin. To prevent China from partnering with Russia in its invasion of Ukraine, Graham suggested sanctioning China. He also warned Russia taking over Ukraine would be a “death sentence for Taiwan.”

MOSCOW — Vladimir Lenin’s embalmed body has been on display in Red Square since 1924. Now another influential Vladi­mir has made clear that Lenin’s tomb isn’t going anywhere else. Russian President Vladimir Putin recently found time in his busy schedule — to compare Lenin’s polished granite mausoleum to the relics of saints on display in Orthodox monasteries. “The communists continued the tradition,” Putin said of Lenin’s preservation, “and did it competently, in accordance with the demands of those times.” “We must return to our historic roots,” he said, with “traditional values.” The remarks, made last month during an interview with...

Twitter has suspended or locked the accounts of at least 15 users who were tracking Russian military movements on the platform. The accounts are part of a relatively new form of journalism that uses the internet to gather images and video (also known as open-source intelligence, or OSINT) in an effort to track and report on violent conflicts. Many of these accounts have been tracking Russian military movements — information that the Russian military might have found problematic if they launched an attack.

A powerful remix that’s reportedly been deleted by Twitter exposes the planners of the Great Reset agenda, namely World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab outlining how his organization penetrated governments to implement an ambitious plot to radically curtail freedoms and civil rights to introduce the New World Order.

Klaus Schwab: "The young generation like prime minister Trudeau, half of his cabinet are actually young global leaders of the World Economic Forum {Elites behind the great reset}. We penetrate the cabinets. The change is not just happening. The change can be shaped by us. We have to prepare for a more angry world. How to prepare? To take the necessary actions to create a fairer world. {You'll own nothing and be happy} I see the need for a Great Reset. The people assume we are just going back to the good old world which we had, and everything will...

Klaus Schwab, the ringmaster of festivities at the World Economic Forum in Davos, has been known to tell underlings that he anticipates one day receiving a Nobel Peace Prize.(snip) Video shows Schwab bragging about controlling Western governments.’I was at the reception for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau…and I would know that half of this cabinet or even more than half of this cabinet are our actually young global leaders of the world,’(snip) This long-forgotten video once again went viral after Trudeau’s latest tyrannical move agains the Freedom Protesters! Butt Schwab and his “students” might have another mentor. What’s this on World...

Ah, Alaska, America's 49th state and the Last Frontier. The home of salmon, gold, oil, and many kinds of wildlife. And a potential place of origin for World War III. In 1867, the Russian Tsar sold the territory of Russian America to the United States. The territory wasn't doing the Tsar much good, never really turning a profit, and proving to be an unnecessary thorn in the Empire's already strained relationship with the UK (which owned Canada), so the Russian government was open to any reasonable opportunity to offload it. Russia and the US being rather buddy-buddy in the 1850s...

Editor’s note: Below are excerpts from Putin’s speech as recorded by Twitter user @RWApodcast:“Ukraine was completely built and created by Lenin. He was its architect, including his orders on including Donbass in the Ukrainian Soviet republic by force.”“Now the ukrainians destroy lenin monuments and want decommunization. you want decommunization? We can show you what REAL DECOMMUNIZATION means in Ukraine.”“The destructive fantasies ofLeninist nation-building were never removed from the judicial basis of Soviet and post-Soviet statehood.”“Historically, the inhabitants of the south-western regions have called themselves ‘Russian’ and ‘Orthodox’. we think this is self-evident.”“Modern Ukraine was completely and utterly created by the...

Ukraine's president has demanded the US share intelligence which suggests Russia is planning to invade his country on Wednesday after America claimed an assault was imminent. reported by German newspaper Der Spiegel, are said to detail specific routes that might be taken by individual Russian units in an imminent invasion. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a live broadcast on Saturday told the US: 'If you have 100 percent-certain information about a Russian invasion of Ukraine, please share it with us'. Early on Saturday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken held a call with Russian diplomat Sergey Lavrov to discuss the crisis,...

The President of Romania has bestowed the National Order of Merit upon a priest who reposed earlier this month, who was instrumental in the fight for democracy in Romania in the late 80s and early 90s. Fr. Sorin Grecu held a hunger strike before the statue of Lenin that once stood on Bucharest’s Free Press Square, which led to the monument’s dismantling. The site of the President of Romania reports: The President of Romania, Mr. Klaus Iohannis, signed the decree for the post-mortem decoration of Fr. Grecu Sorin Paul.Thus, as a sign of high appreciation and gratitude for the courage...

Whether or not Vladimir Putin moves his troops into Ukraine, he has once again confronted Europe with a most painful reality: while being too weak to defend itself, it can no longer rely on the United States to come to its rescue. We are facing a reality in which Russia, despite its economy only having the size of Italy's, can bully and intimidate a continent thanks to its energy reserves and its readiness to project vast military power. Sure, any Russian invasion of Ukraine would cost Russia a fortune and likely degrade into a grinding war of attrition. Invasion is...

Russia's New 'Conservative' Ideology To Counter Liberalism ...

Like a small, unnoticed fire in the basement which can destroy your home, Communism is lurking in the shadows of our nation. Americans don’t know enough about communism to see it when it starts here. Writing in the Tablet, Mary Mycio notes that we have “a certain herd immunity to Nazism and fascism.” But not to communism. The Soviet Union fell a long time ago, as people’s memories go. It fell almost 30 years ago. That means that no one under 45 or 50 will have any real memory of communism as a living force in the world. They know...

"Tell me who Vladimir Ilyich Lenin was," Yura, a character in Vladimir Sorokin's short story "The Red Pyramid," asks a man who mysteriously appears at a train station. The stranger responds, "The man who called forth the pyramid of the red roar." The pyramid, the man continues, is the "source of the endless red roar." Visible to a select few, it "emits a different kind of sound wave" in order to "infect the world to destroy mankind's intrinsic structure." Sorokin, a modern Russian writer, who in this short story takes on the subject of communism and its legacy in modern...

The Truth about Vladimir Lenin – The Father of Post-Truth Politics? Just who was Vladimir Lenin? While we know that he came to power after the Russian Revolution, much of his life is shrouded in myths and lies. Author Tanel Vahisalu explains all. PS - you can find out about Tanel’s latest project on Russian history here. Ninety-three years after his death, Vladimir Lenin continues to make headlines. During 2017’s commemoration of the Russian Revolution, a poll conducted by the independent Levada Center demonstrated that 56 per cent of Russians believe Lenin played a positive role in history. What’s more,...

Just like Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, and others, the Nazis claimed to be socialists, concentrated power in the State, and spurned the rights of individuals. Today marks an infamous centennial. One hundred years ago—on July 29, 1921—Adolf Hitler assumed the leadership of the National Socialist German Workers Party, better known as the Nazis. It became his vehicle to power. Note the formal, official name of the party. It was not the National Capitalist German Workers Party. It was not the National Free Market German Workers Party. Nor was it the National Christian German Workers Party. Yet a century later, claims...

Does the truth matter? Not if you’re the woke president of the San Francisco School Board, apparently. A revealing interview by The New Yorker with the San Francisco School Board president, 30-year-old Gabriela López, gave some insight into the mindset of a public school board that just decided that 44 of its schools needed to be renamed because of their “racist” ties. Abraham Lincoln? Gone. George Washington? Gone. Paul Revere? Gone.

Did the Democrats copy the Lenin playbook in this year’s election? A reminder…the first “free election” in Russia was held in 1917. Lenin promised a “free” election where all votes would be equal and each citizen would be heard. The election was scheduled and a number of political parties provided the voters a choice. The Russian Social-Democratic Labor Party (Lenin’s Bolsheviks) campaigned with appeals to win the majority’s vote with the promise of “Peace, Land and Bread.” The energy of the Bolsheviks and the promises of Lenin were insufficient to win the election (they only garnered 23%) of the vote....

A century ago a citizen army stopped a Soviet takeover of Europe. Communism arose in a time of pandemic and war. In 1918, the Bolshevik party led by V. I. Lenin seized control of Russia amid a world numbed by the slaughter of a world war and the seemingly unstoppable spread of influenza. Promising a utopia of equality, the communist message proved seductive to many in Europe and America. In the summer of 1920, having defeated his most serious internal foes, Lenin decided to launch a full-scale invasion of Europe to spread communism all across the continent. Soviet communism proved...

“White” does not mean white. “White” in radical parlance means anyone of any race, creed, nationality, color, sex, or sexual preference who embraces capitalism, free markets, limited government, and American traditional culture and values.”This philosophical concept belongs to Noel Ignatiev, a white American of Russian origin, who is the ideological founding father of numerous radical black movements in America. The author of this concept was even lucky enough to see his best students -- Black Lives Matter (BLM) -- in action. Research into the work of this former Harvard professor finally answered the question of why BLM proponents are so...
