  1. Setting the Record Straight; Stuff You Should Know About Ukraine [Ukraine (and US/NATO) was the aggressor]

    https://www.theburningplatform.com/2023/02/11/setting-the-record-straight-stuff-you-should-know-about-ukraine/#more-293984

    On February 16, 2022, a full week before Putin sent combat troops into Ukraine, the Ukrainian Army began the heavy bombardment of the area (in east Ukraine) occupied by mainly ethnic Russians. Officials from the Observer Mission of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) were located in the vicinity at the time and kept a record of the shelling as it took place. What the OSCE discovered was that the bombardment dramatically intensified as the week went on until it reached a peak on February 19, when a total of 2,026 artillery strikes were recorded. Keep in mind, the Ukrainian Army was, in fact, shelling civilian areas along the Line of Contact that were occupied by other Ukrainians.
    —-
    We want to emphasize that the officials from the OSCE were operating in their professional capacity gathering first-hand evidence of shelling in the area. What their data shows is that Ukrainian Forces were bombing and killing their own people. This has all been documented and has not been challenged.
    —-
    So, the question we must all ask ourselves is this: Is the bombardment and slaughter of one’s own people an ‘act of war’?
    —-
    We think it is. And if we are right, then we must logically assume that the war began before the Russian invasion (which was launched a full week later)

    1. Aggressor?
      Nice try.
      Ukraine attacked another part of Ukraine that was occupied by Russian forces.
      The “Act of War” was started by the Russians who invaded and occupied parts of Ukraine in 2014.

    2. “Ukrainian Forces were bombing and killing their own people. ”

      They weren’t, but if they were it would an internal Ukrainian matter over which orcs have no say.

        1. Idiotic parallel, completely irrelevant. You cannot compare Holocaust to legitimate Ukrainian government combating a pro orc terrorist organization.

          Indeed the comparison goes the exact opposite way. Just like no rights are violated if one being prohibited to be a Nazi in Israel, no rights are violated if one is prohibited from being an orc in Ukraine.

      1. I disagree. You cannot stand by and ignore barbaric acts of you are in a position to
        counter them.

        1. So in other words, you support a NATO intervention in Ukraine in order to push the barbarian Siberian horde back into Asia where it belongs?

          Before the orc invasion of February 24, Ukrainians weren’t killing their own people. They weren’t killing any civilians either. They were fighting terrorist organizations on Kremlin’s payroll.

      1. Of course certain people here respond poorly to anything that disagrees with their narrative. The don’t get that the Russian-Ukrainian War is a conflict where there is no good side, merely two bad ones. In Kiev, the Ukrainian government is fascist-adjacent if not outright fascist, and the Russians are a bunch of tyrants. There is no one worth backing on either side, just a bloody war that we ought to stop interfering with. We should just let it burn itself out, who cares who wins.

        1. “Oh but the victim isn’t perfect either” (they aren’t nazis that is bullshit) is exactly what Kremlin wants you to focus on. This absurd equivalence between the victim the aggressor followed by a declaration that civilized world should not be helping Ukraine is equivalent to feeding Ukraine to the horde and its gulags and torture chambers. You’re not being neutral, you’re being pro Pootin, you just lack the balls to admit it.

          “All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.”

  2. Does anyone want to discuss Russia to Argentina birth tourism? It’s gaining momentum fast and “Argentina worried”.
    https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/argentina-worried-over-russian-women-travelling-to-give-birth-1.6269722

    I wonder if thousands of female orcs who are doing it just want their offspring to have a lifeline from being subject to the Ruϟϟichescweinen regime or is their more to that than meets the eye? The Ruϟϟichescweinen expats (at least in their neighbouring countries) are well-known for crying of being oppressed and asking for Pootin to come and fix it. Obviously, in its current (and foreseeably future) state the Ruϟϟichescweinen Pederation is 100% incapable of staging an invasion on another continent, but do the orcs themselves know it?

      1. Nothing is ever as it seems, and Colon and the Ukraine supporters haven’t got any more of an idea what is or is not happening than the rest of us.

        1. And? Conclusion, please. That is, unless you’re a chat bot that couldn’t process the post you responded to.

          1. I conclude that you think the information you don’t want to process should be ignored by everyone.

        2. Actually Very Old White Guy, I have a very good idea what is going on. You’re just old and tired and can’t keep up. Ask and I can explain it slowly.

          1. The terminally stupid think they know what is happening, now go get that latest booster and wear you mask in your car.

      1. Ruϟϟichescweinenazi triggered: predictably, not a word on topic, but a lot of “Nazi” name-calling.

    1. You’re an idiot, an illiterate idiot too stupid to get the joke. In fact it went over all five foot three of you.

      1. It is a statement for public consumption intended to boost his image. Orcs buy it. But it will not help, seems like his star is fading and him Surovikin and Kadyrov became too much of an embarrassment and will get a Bronislav Kaminski treatment.

        1. Yes, they do. They live for centuries in the expectation of a paradise around the corner. Orthodonkey paradise, Communist paradise and now Ruϟϟichescweinist paradise. The fact that they already rounded more corners than the polygon on the Carl Friedrich Gauss’es gravestone has and the promised paradise never materialised does not bother them at all. They would never work to better themselves, but rather look for thargets to blame and fantasise about punishing them.

      1. No, just the countries currently against Russia.
        And the populations of those countries kept silent.
        France was a leader in sending children to the gas chambers.
        The countries you support.
        The Nazis died in Russia. Big difference, even your pea brain should recognize that, but you won’t because you are the same, a stupid ignorant bigot just like every Nazi ever.

        1. Also, how is killing millions of Ukrainians by an artificially created famine better than killing millions of Jews in concentration camps?

          1. Read history. The Russians also died in the same famine. That killed Ukrainians.

            For the same famine particularly in Ukraine and Kazakhstan, see Holodomor and Kazakh famine of 1930–1933.
            Soviet famine of 1930–1933
            And it had a lot to do with Communist Agricultural Policy. Much like Trudeau is trying to impose today in Canada.

            But the point is it was not just Ukraine. It was all of Russia. And Ukraine was part of Russia.

          2. The overwhelming majority of those who died were Ukrainians and the famine was created by people in Kremlin. Enough said.

          3. Schweine come in many breeds. Like the reign of terror imposed by the Bolsheviks on Russians and other ethnicities of the empire, the architects of the mass starvations included ethnic Jews & Poles, e.g.,
            Leon Trotsky-Bolshevik head of the red Guards
            Felix Dzerzhinsky-first Cheka director, achitect of the Red Terror and decossackization
            Filipp Goloshchyokin-Central Committee member and architect of the Kazak famine
            Andrzej Wyszyński-Procurator General, carried out administrative preparations for the collectivizations

          4. JS, it is always amusing that another version of “But Stalin was Georgian” continues resonating with russian apologists. Give it up already. Soviet Union was a russian empire under a new management. Same whore, different lipstick. That’s all. Catherine the dog molester was German, still she was a tsarina and ruled the Siberian Mongol empire. Same goes for Stalin.

            Ethnicity is secondary, the belief that russia gets to rule others matters, and should be purged everywhere and every time.

          5. Washer,

            “It was all of Russia. And Ukraine was part of Russia.”

            Oh wait I thought Soviet Union and russia were two different things. At least you’re admitting that Soviet Union was russia (inform JS about it). The rest of your argument is typical mendacious bullshit.

            Also russians killing russians in russia, is russian tradition and culturee. No problem with that. Indeed it should be encouraged. What is important is that russia does not get to spill outside of russia.

            And really don’t tell people to read history. You’re the least qualified to do so. Honestly, sometimes I think that you’re CIA and you have been hired to make Pootin simps look even dumber than they are.

          6. Colonista: Re. ethnicity not the determinant. That Poland & Ukraine were at various times incorporated in the Russian empire then explains the pogroms carried out by Pole & Ukie schweine pre the NAZI invasion and their collaboration with the NAZIs.

          7. ^^^ Tortured mental gymnastics characteristic of orcs and their fellators. One more reason why it is best to just put orcs down.

          8. JS: “Schweine come in many breeds.”
            Oh, absolutely. Nobody really knows what a Russian is, least of all Russians themselves. It is not possible to define with any degree of precision and, indeed, it’s undesirable for the Russians to define because if you do, you won’t be able to include everyone you want to as Russian and exclude everyone you don’t want to. What do Putin (Finno-Ugric tribesman), Lavrov (Armenian-Jewish), Surkov (Chechen-Jewish), Shoigu (Tuvinian-Ukrainian), Medvedev (Jewish) have in common with each other genetically? Nothing at all apart perhaps from predisposition to alcoholism. There’s a saying in Russia “vodka unifies peoples”, so by their own admission Russians are nothing more than “peoples unified by vodka” and that’s the best definition you can find for “Russians”. Their claim to being Slavic is, therefore, completely ridiculous and so is their concept of “Russian world”, which hilariously includes Kazakhstan, an Asiatic Muslim-majority country, but also lays claim on Ukraine and Belarus because those two are “Slavic” like Russia. Go figure.

        2. It was russians that enabled Hitler’s conquest and were Hitler’s best friends until Hitler betrayed them. Without russian support Hitler would not have resources for his campaigns in the west. Read “Feeding the German Eagle” by Edward Ericson. And when Hitler was conquering west, russians invaded six other countries.

          Russians and Germans have jointly started WWII as allies and it was russian support of Germans that allowed for Hollocaust to happen.

          As for Anti Semitism, Germans had a monumental but a short lived episode. Russians have centuries of tradition going well back to Tsarist times. Pogrom is a russian word and “Protocols of Elders of Zion” a Tsarist forgery predating communism by decades and used as an excuse for pogroms.

    1. Oh and speaking of your list, are you aware that after the occupation of Poland changed hands and red army took control of Auschwitz, Majdanek and others they did not close them down? They used them as camps for Polish anti communists.

  3. Judge Harrison Arrell, the learned jurist who granted bail the criminal suspect who later murdered an OPP police officer:
    https://www.cp24.com/news/judge-who-released-man-later-charged-in-cop-s-death-weighed-indigenous-background-1.6269832

    was appointed to his esteemed position by the Justin Trureau government:
    https://www.canada.ca/en/department-justice/news/2016/10/government-canada-announces-judicial-appointments-province-ontario.html

    Randall MacKenzie, a status Indian who ambushed and killed the OPP officer, was seen as a victim of “colonization”.

    1. Cringe. Only ocularly penetrated orc simp (or a CIA asses pretending to be one) could post something so pathetic without shame.

  4. How do I, as a non-racist person, try to post something about the racial virtue signaling at CBC News?

    OK, last evening one could have been intrigued about the ballon shootdown. CBC News broadcast the live press vonference with Defence Minister Anand, talking about how Canada’s defence forces watched excitedly as a US F-22 fighter jet shot down a balloon over the Yukon. Fine. The CBC News channel carried the live presser, and when that is finished turned to the start of the CBC Evening News at 8 pm Eastern.

    Dwight Drummond, a black news host, now hosts the show. He took over the show from the former host, Bag Over Her Head, who was somehow replaced because no Canadians wanted to watch a CBC News Iran show. Replacing Bag Over Her Head with a black host would not stir up any woke anger, and it didn’t.

    So Drummond’s Evening show, of course, has to continue on with the balloon takedown incident. CBC News then had Drummond interview another CBC reporter, also black but with a Muslim name. Her name escapes me, but she is quite young, inexperienced, sounding like she was fresh out of j-school. CBC had her speaking beside a wide street in Toronto, with cars whizzing by.

    So Drummond and black Muslim girl talked to each other for a good 15 minutes about the shoot down. But the main problem was that neither black CBC person knew the first thing about NORAD, air warfare, or anything having to do with the military. They simply babbled about Anand’s presser, incoherently. The two even started to speculate about this or that — but the conversation was at best at the high-school level.

    CBC news here, with racial virtue signaling.

    1. Justa cotton pickin minute, David.
      If you’re white, you’re a racist.
      If you’re not white, David, you’re an Uncle Tom, disparaging a brother and maybe a sister – if she still has her clitoris – so you need to back that shit up.
      Of course if you skin is yellow you wouldn’t be commenting and if you’re a native, well then you can write whatever the frig you want.

  5. Port Huron tornado: My mother and father managed to survive that one. Dad, a hard-bitten World War2 survivor told me it was the most frightening thing he’d ever experienced, and that’s saying something.
    “Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide”.
    Nice as well to see shots of 50’s downtown Port Huron again.
    Thanks Robert.

  6. Why the 1787 Constitution Did Not Bring Republican Government to America

    It’s a nice tale, but it is fundamentally wrong in light of the political realities of the 1780s. This is obvious when we consider two facts: the first is that by the time the 1787 convention took place, the lands of the former British colonies were already a thoroughly republican place. All of the US states, plus the neighboring Republic of Vermont, had already adopted republican constitutions.
    —-
    The Philadelphia convention had nothing to do with it.
    The second problem for the myth is that in 1787 the United States overall already had a republican constitution. The so-called Articles of Confederation had been adopted in 1776, and thus there was nothing revolutionary or innovative about adopting a second republican constitution in 1787.

  7. Did anyone hear about the vinyl chloride spill in Ohio?

    https://www.fastcompany.com/90848025/ohio-train-derailment-toxic-chemicals-pvc-spill-fire-disaster

    A chemical used in PVC, vinyl chloride is flammable, toxic, and a declared brain, lung, blood, and liver carcinogen. The federal government banned it from household spray cans in 1974. Breathing it “can make you dizzy or sleepy, or have a headache,” a fact sheet released two days ago by the Ohio Department of Health alerts readers. “You can die from breathing extremely high levels of vinyl chloride.”

    A train belonging to Norfolk Southern, one of America’s leading rail operators, derailed near the Pennsylvania border, leaving what the Associated Press called “a mangled and charred mass of boxcars and flames” just outside the village of East Palestine, home to about 5,000 people.

    “it’s received surprisingly little national media coverage”… but “The EPA says it’s safe to return”.

    Thank God it wasn’t a tanker full of CO2.

    1. As safe as Whitey in the Unannounced Liberal Playbook or a Canadian court.

      I’m old enough to remember when The Swamp used to bring in immigrants for cheap labor.

      Now immigrants go on the Liberal Dole before they go on the Liberal Voting Rolls.

      Wait a minute………

      All Whitey countries have mathless, borderless Liberals and Conservative cucks?

      Poor world.

      Reality is going to bite hard.

      Soon.

    1. Peanuts compared to the Hundreds of Billions $$$ of your tax dollars and the Librano skim one could imagine just possibly might have occurred in the past several years of mathless, debts take care of themselves, Librano adjacent, unaudited, unoverseen, non-Parliamentary-followed, non-media-followed spending with apparently no oversight whatsoever.

      Sounds awful Gomery adjacent to me.

      Libranos gonna Librano.

      Hard to play Daniel Leblanc when you’re on the payroll.

    1. That’s only the hors d oeurvies.

      Submission is the current Canadian default position.

  8. Hundreds of Academics Urge George Washington University To Suspend Anti-Semitic Professor
    https://freebeacon.com/campus/hundreds-of-academics-urge-george-washington-university-to-suspend-anti-semitic-professor/

    … The letter comes after Sheehi’s Jewish students alleged in a federal civil rights complaint that the professor discriminated against them in a mandatory diversity course and then retaliated when they confronted her about her anti-Semitic comments. In their letter, the academics said the Jewish students’ allegations are “quite plausible” in light of Sheehi’s public remarks.

  9. Jihadi Terrorist Who Murdered Eight People in NYC Finds a Way to Blame Trump
    https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/robert-spencer/2023/02/12/jihadi-terrorist-who-murdered-eight-people-in-nyc-finds-a-way-to-blame-trump-n1669948

    After he was admitted to the United States on a diversity visa, jihad terrorist Sayfullo Saipov murdered eight people in New York City on Halloween night in October 2017 by driving a truck along a bike path. In January, Saipov’s attorney, David Patton, emphasized that Saipov, who had declared that he was inspired by the Islamic State (ISIS), was unrepentant: “As we sit here today, he still believes that, he still believes the ISIS messaging and he still believes it was God’s will that he do what he did.” Nonetheless, Saipov is in no hurry to go to paradise and cavort with his 72 virgins. His lawyers are trying to keep this jihad murderer from getting the death penalty, and pressing all the Left’s buttons to make their case. The government just wants the death penalty, they’re claiming, because of (yes, you guessed it) “racism.” Oh, and Donald Trump.

    ABC News reported Thursday that Saipov’s lawyers are opposing the death penalty because of “possible ethnic or religious discrimination.” …
