Kentucky middle school principal arrested first day on the job

By Louis Casiano, Fox News

A Kentucky middle school principal was arrested Monday, his first on the job, according to local reports.

 

Leroy Littles Sr., 44, started work Monday as the principal at Olmsted Academy North in Louisville.

 

A “Welcome, Principal Littles” sign was placed in front of the school, WDRB-TV reported.

 

Littles was taken into custody over a Dec. 25, 2022, domestic violence incident.

 

He was served an arrest warrant at the school for fourth-degree assault and third-degree terroristic threatening.

 

A police report obtained by the news outlet said Littles had arrived at his girlfriend’s home when she was seen leaving with an ex-boyfriend.

 

As Littles began arguing with her, he allegedly assaulted the former boyfriend, who had injuries to his face and head.

 

When Hillview police officers arrived at the scene, Littles was gone.

 

The victim reportedly has video of the alleged assault and gave it to the Bullitt County Attorney’s Office days after.

 

The Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) district issued a letter to parents about the arrest.

“You may have seen or heard local media stories about allegations against Olmsted North Principal Leroy Littles, Sr. The charges are unrelated to JCPS,” it read.

 

An assistant principal was placed in charge of the school, the district said.

 

Littles hasworked for the district for 16 years, most recently as a principal intern at Waggener High School earlier this school year.

 

(Do schools ever do a background check on any employees?)

Scratch & claw like hell, Kat! Hochul finally finds courage in NY budget fight

Michael Goodwin

You’ve heard the expression, “Cat got your tongue?” Maybe, just maybe, the Kat in Albany is finally finding her tongue — and her courage. Gov. Hochul’s threat to hold up the state budget if theLegislature doesn’t fix broken bail lawsis a welcome sign she’s tired of being treated like a doormat. Hochul’s willingness to play hardball over the crime epidemic comes not a moment too soon for public safety and her own credibility.

 

“I would like an on-time budget — I’m not planning on one that’s not,” she told reporters Monday. “But I also know that I’m here to do the work of the people of New York State, and they expect me to not leave town until the job’s done.”

 

Well said, but it will take more than words to win this battle, which also includes her push toincrease the number of available charter school licenses in the city.In a sane world, neither issue would be controversial, but that the Legislature adamantly opposes both reflects how far left it has turned.

 

Indeed, the Senate, in its version of a new budget released Tuesday,completely ignoredHochul’s demands and the Assembly almost certainly will do the same in its budget.

 

Doormat takes a stand

So now the bargaining begins in earnest, with the new fiscal year starting April 1. For Hochul, the stakes are far larger than any single item or two, she’s in danger of becoming roadkill. Despite supposedly being the most powerful official in Albany, no governor in recent times has hadso little impactin shaping the state’s agenda.

 

The Legislature is controlled by fellow Democrats, but on some crucial issues, they’re in the same party as her in name only. Lawmakers made history last month when theyrejected the governor’s nomineeto be chief judge of the Court of Appeals. Judge Hector LaSalle was more than qualified, but radical opponents distorted his record and smeared his reputation on the way to defeating him in both the committee and full Senate floor votes.

 

Then, just last week, a lone Dem state senator supported Hochul’s proposal to amend the bail law so judges would have more discretion about whether to hold or release criminal suspects before trial. But the single dissenter, Jeremy Cooney of Rochester, quickly backtracked, proof that legislative leaders exert total control and are not even interested in fair and open debates.

 

New Yorkers saw earlier evidence of that attitude when Albany County District Attorney David Soares was abruptly disinvited from a hearing where he planned tolay out in compelling detailthe disastrous impact of the 2019 criminal justice changes. Soares, who is black, was prepared to show that black and Latino New Yorkers are being hurt most by soaring crime rates, which he said were caused in part by the too-lenient legislative changes.

 

By refusing even to consider changes that prosecutors, Mayor Adams and police officials say are necessary, Senate Majority LeaderAndrea Stewart-Cousinsand Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie are effectively saying increased crime and the suffering it brings to innocent New Yorkers, some of them in their own districts, are fine with them. They offer no real defense or any changes that might make a difference. The bloody status quo is good enough.

 

This is outrageous but in a big way,Hochul has only herself to blamefor being boxed out. Her instincts are center-left, but in her first year, she repeatedly drifted to the far left to pacify the always-angry, never-satisfied progressives. She apparently believed they would engage in a give-and-take, but in return, she’s gotten zero except a stiff election challenge from Republican Lee Zeldin that almost cost her job.

 

Crime consistently rates as a topissue across the state, along with taxes and failing schools. Hochul has conceded the impact, noting that New York leads the nation in losing residents. “We’re already seeing signs of out-migration that we cannot ignore,” she said in January. “The good news is: It doesn’t have to be this way.” Unfortunately, some of her ideas, including tax hikes and a potential takeover of local zoning and land use laws, would make the state even less attractive to high-income earners and middle-class families, if that’s possible.

 

Blame will fall on her

Too often she acts as if she’s just Andrew Cuomo’s temporary substitute having displayed consistent weakness, she has almost no wiggle room. Her only option is to draw red lines and get the public on her side.

Residents claim ‘woke’ policies in Austin have caused homeless people to overtake city hotspots

MaryAnn Martinez

 

Top family destinations in Austin, Texas, have become magnets for the homeless — and the city’s woke policies are preventing cops from doing anything about the illegal scourge, critics say.

 

People living out of vehicles stuffed with luggage, chairs and other items have been increasingly lining the streets near popular spots such as Zilker Metropolitan Park and Barton Springs Pool, thanks at least in part to the area’s skyrocketing housing prices.

 

But while local laws do not allow people to live out of parked cars around public green spaces, there aren’t enough police officers to combat the quality-of-life issue — because the liberal city policies have caused cops to flee the department, critics say.

 

Sick and tired cops are continuing to retire in droves, adding to 264 existing vacancies, according to the Austin Police Association.

 

The police department is so short-staffed that it disbanded its park patrol months ago — and even 911 calls are now being redirected to the city’s 311 non-emergency number because there aren’t enough officers to respond.

 

“If you come home and find your home burglarized, calls like that are now going to 311,” police union President Thomas Villarreal told The Post on Tuesday. “You’re not getting a police response to many property crimes if it’s not a violent crime that is currently ongoing.”

 

That’s left park-goers to fend for themselves.

 

“It would be nice to see a policeman here,” a woman whose car was broken into told KXAN.

 

Mark Hilbelink, executive director of Sunrise Homeless Navigation Center, told the outlet, “We are on pace to assess about 1,000 children living in cars this year, and there are a lot of families living outside.”

 

That number climbed from 400 last year, he said.

Asked if the situation were a crisis, “I would absolutely say so,” he told the local station.

In the last few years, Austin mortgages and rents have sky-rocketed, as the Texas capital has become a sought-after destination for New Yorkers, Californians and other non-Texans who drove up real estate prices.

 

“I would say for a lot of people, there is a progression of having your own place, then maybe living with family or someone that you know,” Hilbelink explained of the downhill slide. “Then oftentimes, living in a car, and then eventually just living completely unsheltered.

NYC school safety staff plummets 25% even as violence, shootings skyrocket

Tina Moore,

The number of New York City school safety agents has plummeted nearly 25% from pre-pandemic levels — all while violence at or near school buildings is exploding, according to a report released Tuesday.As of last month, there were 3,900 active NYPD school safety agents, nearly 1,200 —or 24% — fewer than in February 2020, just before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the city’s Independent Budget Office found.

 

The IBO’s report came astwo teenage boys were shot and injuredwithin three hours of each other near their respective high schools in Upper Manhattan on Tuesday.

 

Three studentshave been slain so far in the 2022-23 school year, and at least20have been either stabbed or shot, The Post reported last month.

 

“We warned the city two years ago. Only more school safety agents can protect our city and our schools,” said Hank Sheinkopf, spokesman for Teamster Local 237, the union which represents school safety agents. “How many more young people will be shot, or stabbed before politicians understand what so many New York City mothers know: we need more school safety agents.”

 

Sheinkopf said the force stood 5,500 strong in 2019 but that, “We’re now at 4,000 on a good day.” School safety agents are civilians who don’t carry weapons but are employed by the NYPD.

 

Under a 2019 agreement between the cityDepartment of Education and the NYPD, SSAs employ a more restrained approach, such as not intervening in most low-level misconduct by students, using alternative responses to issuing arrests or summonses and employing the minimal amount of physical restraints necessary.

 

But there’s been a political tug-of-war in recent years over their presence in schools. During Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration, there was a push to remove the NYPD from employing and assigning safety agents.

 

Lefty progressives argued that schools were being over-policed and that the responsibility should fall under the DOE. Mayor Eric Adams, however, decided that school safety and staffing should remain in the hands of NYPD.

 

Still, a total of 832 vacant school safety positions were scrapped over the past year, the IBO report said. Sheinkopf said the City Council also canceled two 250-person classes of school safety agents.

 

“The decision to eliminate nearly 300 vacant school safety agent positions, bringing thetotal cut to over 800since last February, is a terrible idea, especially in light of recent incidents at our schools, and that many of my schools only have one agent,” said Queens Councilman Robert Holden, a member of the public safety committee.

 

“While budget constraints are understandable, reducing the number of agents and compromising the safety of our children is not the solution,” added Holden. Last month, the NYPD beefed up the number of its separate youth coordination officer units at schools in light of an increase in shootings.

 

The first cut of vacant SSA positions came in the mayor’s preliminary Budget in February 2022, when 550 open slots were scrapped, saving between $35 million and $37 million per year, and bringing the school safety staffing budget for fiscal year 2023 down to $389 million. (Money is more important than childrens lives)

 

Next, Adams’s November 2022 budget slashed another $24 million for the remainder of the current fiscal year, and another $13 million in fiscal year 2024, reflecting lower recruitment and higher attrition than projected, the IBO report states. In January, the mayor’s budget plan eliminated 282 more vacant school safety agent positions to reduce spending by $10 million to $21 million per year, bringing the current year’s budget to $356 million.

 

Spending on school safety agents is budgeted to increase to $367 million by the end of the four-year financial plan in 2027, well below the budgeted level of $427 million in 2021, and short of the actual $395 million of spending in 2019 and 2020.

 

City Hall said the NYPD currently has 4,100 SSAs and that an additional 250 trainees are slated to start in April. “The safety of our students will always be a top priority for this administration,” a City Hall spokesperson said in a statement.

 

“As with any agency, we will work with them to evaluate their needs through the budget process once they fill all budgeted positions, but, in the meantime, we will continue to build on the productive steps we have taken thus far andinvest in a holistic visionof public safety that keeps our youngest safe.”

The NYPD had no immediate comment.

UFT-hired political adviser paid $150K by NYC Council Speaker Adrienne Adams’ budget staff, exposing conflict

 

By Carl Campanile

March 14, 2023 8:18pm Updated

A Democratic campaign guru is running a consulting firmwhose clients lobby the city while at the same time getting paid $150,000 a year in taxpayer money working on Council Speaker Adrienne Adams’ central budgeting staff.

 

And the double duty is drawing howls of “conflict of interest.”

 

Jonathan Yedin, founder of the firm Power Play Strategies and whose clients include the powerfulUnited Federation of Teachers, which heavily lobbies Big Apple politicians, holds the controversial dual gig, The Post has learned.

 

“You can’t serve two bosses. There’s a built-in conflict of interest. Pick one or the other and do it,” said John Kaehny, who runs the government watchdog group Reinvent Albany.

 

“You have to be fully committed to the public interest or you have to quit and build your campaign business. You can’t do both. Trying to do both is a mistake.”

 

Yedin’s LinkedIn page lists his Power Play Strategies firm as his current employment andmakes no mentionof working on the Council Speaker’s staff.

 

His firm’s website boasts a client list that, aside from the UFT, also includes the Super PAC Nicole is Complicit, which was aimed at defeating GOP Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (Staten Island/Brooklyn), as well as numerous Democratic candidates, including. several serving on the City Council — Finance Committee Chairman Justin Brannan of Brooklyn, Athea Stevens of The Bronx and Nantasha Williams of Queens.

 

Empire Center for Public Policy fellow Ken Girardin said Yedin’s dual role is a“massive conflict of interest” after seeing the teachers’ union listed as one of his clients.

 

“The UFT exists for one reason — to lobby the government,” Girardin said. “If you are working for the city government, you have an obligation to the city government.”

 

Healso has done campaign workfor Staten Island DA Michael McMahon and lists Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone as a client.

 

Yedin works as a “special adviser” to the director of the Council’s finance division. According to the payroll website See Through NY, he makes an annual salary of $150,000.

 

“This doesn’t pass the smell test. It’s greedy,” said Republican consultant Bill O’Riley.

 

O’Riley said there are “hundreds of millions of dollars” at stake in the city budget and Yedin could use his influence to help his political clients over non-clients with his insider Council role.

 

“It opens up a whole can of worms. It’s corruption waiting to happen. It’s not just that he can look after his clients in the Council. He can look after the donors of his clients seeking government funding.”

 

Yedin is a pal of Brooklyn Councilman Justin Brannan and previously worked on Brannan’s council staff before getting bumped to a higher paid gig working for the entire Council.

 

The Post previously exposed Yedin for placard abuse while working for Brannan.

Pope Francis weighs in on religious crackdown in Ukraine

 

The pontiff called for religious sites to be respected after canonical Orthodox Church monks were ordered to leave their monastery

 

Pope Francis has voiced concern over the situation in the Kiev Pechersk Lavra following attempts by the Ukrainian authorities to expel monks from the country’s iconic Orthodox Christian site.

 

Speaking at the end of a general audience on Wednesday, the pontiff said he was “thinking about the Orthodox monks in the Kiev Lavra.”

 

“I ask warring parties to respect religious places,” he added, asserting that the clergy of any denomination “are the support of the people of God.”

 

His comments came after Patriarch Kirill, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, last week issued an appeal to Christian leaders of various denominations and international organizations over what he described as “a sharp increase in state pressure on Orthodox Christians in Ukraine.”

 

Referring to Kiev Pechersk Lavra, Kirill called for “every possible effort to prevent the forced closure of the monastery, which would lead to a violation of the rights of millions” of faithful.

 

On March 10, Ukraine’s Ministry of Culture claimed, without providing any evidence, that the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate had violated a 2013 agreement, under which the state allowed them to administer the religious site. Clerics were subsequently ordered to vacate the monastery by March 29.

 

While the clergy have refused to comply, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky endorsed the decision, framing the crackdown as “a move to strengthen our spiritual independence.” This, however, prompted outrage from Moscow, with Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova claiming that“the freedom of religion is being held hostage by the bandits”from the Ukrainian government.

 

For years, Ukraine has experienced religious tensions, predominantly between Kiev-backed non-canonical Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), which proclaimed independence from Moscow after Russia launched its military operation in the neighboring country in February 2022.

 

This, however, did not spare it from accusations that it covertly supports Russia, andraids have been carried out on numerous Orthodox monasteries across Ukraine, including the Lavra itself.

Poland announces timeline for transfer of fighter jets to Ukraine

Warsaw could deliver a number of MiG-29s to Kiev within several weeks, according to the Polish prime minister

 

Poland is prepared to supply several Soviet-designed MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced on Tuesday. Warsaw had previously insisted it would only provide combat aircraft to Kiev within the framework of an international coalition.

 

Speaking at a news conference, Morawiecki said the process could take betweenfour and six weeksas Western states take a cautious approach to the transfer of fighter jets to Ukraine.

 

Warsaw will be joined bySlovakia in delivering warplanesto Kiev after Defense Minister Jarolslav Nad agreed last week to participate in a joint process with Poland involving the supply of MiG-29 jets. The two NATO states are now calling on other bloc members to join the initiative.

 

Poland currently has a total of 28 MiG-29 jets in active service, which it has been gradually replacing with US and South Korean-made fighters. However, it’s unclear exactly how many of the Soviet-era planes will be provided to Ukraine.

 

While Polish President Andrzej Duda has declared that his country willdonate its entire fleet of MiG-29s,the head of the president’s office Pawel Szrot stated last week that “when it comes to the transfer of aircraft by Poland, it will not be a large number.” He added that the consignment would “certainly not” be as large as the number of tanks that have been supplied, nor even the number of Leopard tanks, of which Warsaw has so far provided 14.

 

Nad, meanwhile, has told the Associated Press that Slovakia is considering transferring ten of its 11 MiG-29s, with the last one going to a museum.

 

Ukraine’s armed forces have used the Soviet-made jets for decades, so its pilots are very familiar with the platform and could use the planes immediately after receiving them.

 

Kiev has repeatedly requested both Soviet- and Western-made planes from its NATO backers. While no countries have yet fulfilled those requests, the UK announced last month that it would train Ukrainian pilots in “sophisticated NATO-standard fighter jets,”and the US is reportedly evaluating Ukrainian pilots’ suitability for training in US-made F-16 combat aircraft.

 

Russia has maintained that the influx of Western weapons into Ukraine will only prolong the conflict without altering its outcome. The supply offighter jets in particular is a “red line”that would place the West at “war against Russia,” former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev warned two weeks ago.

 

(Obviously these jets will be targeted and destroyed in no time. Or Ukraine will destroy them by overuse.)

Why does Poland hate Russia?

Leszek Krumski

 

Poles have a lot of reasons for not liking Russia (as a country) not the Russian people. Here is a list of main issues:

 

Russia started to control the internal politics of the I Republic (Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth) in the beginning of XVIII century. Poland had elected Kings at that time. All elections in XVIII century have been strongly influenced by the Russian Tsars.

 

The last Polish King was a Russian puppet. Even his personal letters have been reviewed by the Russian ambassador that time. During the XVIII century Russia was promoting everything that was against reforms and conservative. Finally Russia agreed with Prussia and Austria to partition the country. Moreover, with a stick and carrot tactics it made the Polish parliamentarians vote for partitioning of the country. Any attempt to change the course of events was crashed with brutal force.

 

Personally I think that the main party to blame for loss of Polish independence in XVIII century is on the Polish nobility. This social class, with some exceptions, was just very conservative and unwilling to sacrifice anything for the benefit of the state. Russia has just used the opportunity. Does anybody see some similarities with contemporary Ukraine?

 

XIX century in Polish history is marked with two main uprisings against the Russian rule (1830 and 1863). Both ended in a bloodbath and thousands of Poles sent to Siberia. The so called Congress Poland was most of the century under military curfew. Polish language was being prosecuted from education and Russian culture promoted by the state. To be fair with freeing the peasants from serfdom in 1860s the Polish land experienced a long period of economic growth. By 1914 the part of Poland was nearly under control. Crowds in Warsaw cheered the Russian soldiers going to fight the Germans. Polish militia formed in Austro-Hungary was greeted with closed doors and windows shut.

 

Following the German attach in September 1939 Soviet Union in cooperation with Nazi Germany entered in to Poland creating a completely hopeless situation for the Polish Army. After that Soviet Union and Nazi Germany divided the country between themselves. Obviously we had repressions of anyone who was involved in the pre-war Polish administration. Hundreds of thousands have been moved by force to Siberia and Central Asia. In the end we had a unprecedent murder of more then 20 thousand Polish Prisoners of War in Katyń.

 

After the war Soviet Union forced Poland to the Communist experiment. It did not work out well anywhere. Polish resistance fighters from Nazi occupation have been named “threat to peoples republic”, prosecuted and sometimes executed.

 

After nearly 300 years of Russian/Soviet control Poland wants to be as far as possible form the Russian sphere of influence. Russia does not have any attractive model for development to promote. Russia should try to solve its own internal problems. Instead it concentrates efforts on geopolitics and spheres of influence. This type of policy has already made Soviet Union collapse and I don’t see a bright future for Russia under current regime.

I Finally Understand Why We Hate Russia

March 13, 2022 by Ian Kummer ==1/2•=

Almost a year ago I wrote a post asking why are our globalist elites so obsessed with Russia? I saw weird things happening around me, but didn’t answer my own question. Now I do know.

What’s happening right now is the single most horrifying thing I have ever seen. It’s even worse than the Islamophobia after the Sept. 11 attacks. That was wrong, but at least there was a reasonable provocation for it. We had been directly attacked, and in a terrible way. It was natural for us to feel angry, and would have been weird if we didn’t.But why now?Why are Americans feeling this overwhelming,burning rage and bloodlustover a regional border dispute on the other side of the world? Only one in six Americans can find Ukraine on a map.

 

This is the first time in my life I have watched the Russians fight a protracted conventional war, and I have immersed myself in both sides of the story, not just ours. At the same time, I have watched almost every person I have ever knownexplode into a fit of irrational rageand russophobia, and completely overnight.

 

Why do wecompulsively travel to the other side of the world topick fightswith Russia? And when Russia gets into fights of her own, why do we always take the other side, even when the other side is evil? And why is the other side always evil? Not sometimes evil.Always evil.

 

Our allies against Russia are alwaysnazis, terrorists, religious extremists, and drug dealers. There is not even one exception to this rule.

 

In 1853, Russia was ill-prepared for the Crimean War. That’s mostly because they weren’t expecting it. They were astonished that the “collective West” wouldside with a crumbling, corrupt Islamic empireand wage total war against fellow Christians, killing hundreds of thousands of them. Think of how different the world might be if the West hadn’t committed this crime. With a partitioned, stabilized Middle East and Balkans, there would have been no Armenian genocide. None of the other wars that broke out during and after the Ottoman Empire’s collapse would have happened. In hindsight, Russians shouldn’t have been surprised, because that’s the pattern the West has followed ever since.

 

• In the 1940s, the West funded Hitler against Russia. Then in the late 1940s, the West allied with nazis to form NATO, just to prove that the first time wasn’t a fluke.

 

• In the 1980s, the West sided with Afghan terrorists and drug dealers against Russia.

 

• In the 1990s, the West sided with Albanian terrorists and drug dealers against the Serbs (who are almost the same thing as Russians).

 

• In the 2010s, the West sided with ISIS and Kurdish death squads against Syria’s secular democratic government, and (coincidentally) a close Russian ally. If you think I’m being unfair, can you think of even one ally of the West against Russia who wasn’t a terrorist, a drug dealer, a nazi, or all of the above?

 

Now, Ukraine. Thecorruption capital of the planet, the poorest, most backwards nation in Europe, a government full of nazis, drug dealers, and assorted other scumbags. Now that Russia has decided to wage open warfare against Ukraine,suddenlyUkrainian neo-nazi drug dealers are the good guys?Why?

 

And the West’s reaction to the Ukrainian war is nothing short of total, irrational hatred and panic. Let’s be honest with ourselves. This has nothing to do with Ukraine. That little neo-nazi haven is just aproxy for the real warbetween Russia and the West….

2/2

 

Sorry, I still haven’t answered the question. Why do we hate Russia so much? Life imitates art, and art imitates life. We can find the answer in our own movies. Look at how many of the recent entries are about our war with Russia. Amazon’s Without Remorse and theJack Ryan series are two of the more extreme examples. These are not nice stories, andthey’re somehow even more nihilistic and divorced from moralitythan the original Tom Clancy books they’re based on.

 

Even in our fictional fantasies,we depict ourselvescommitting terrorism and indiscriminate violence against innocent people. Worse, we do it without reason and incompetently. In Jack Ryan, CIA thugs torture people in Yemen. In Without Remorse, a special forces team carries out a botched terrorist raid on Russian soil, killing dozens of innocent people.We don’t even pretend to be the good guys. We justify our atrocities by assuring ourselves that “both sides are equally bad.” Without Remorse even has a monologue about “pawns and patriots.” Ah, I see, the blind man said. Us doing bad things is okay, because we show the Russians also doing bad things that we made up. Makes sense.

 

It’s not possible to debunk every single bit of fake news about Russian “atrocities” in Ukraine, there’s just too much of it. So here’s a rule of thumb that should pretty much always work.If the story involves Russians doing a cartoonishly evil thingwith no plausible motive or any logical benefit they could ever gain from it – like blowing up maternity wards for no reason – thenit’s probably bullshit.See? Easy. By the way, if you don’t want the enemy to shoot at hospital rooms, then maybe you should stop putting soldiers and weapons in them. It’s truly not hard.

 

And it’s not just Ukraine.We make up silly bullshit storiesabout every Russian war. Like putting bombs inside children’s toys scattered around Afghanistan. Really? Why would the Russians want to do that? I have to really ask an obvious question now. Do our propagandists think that’s a reasonable tactic because we did it at some point?

 

Russian and Soviet stories are not like ours, by the way.

 

Speaking of propaganda, I shared this meme to Facebook shortly after the Russian army visited. Someone replied with this comment: Interesting how both of these statements are not true

 

Interesting, but that wasn’t my point, and I’m worried that no one understood what my point was. Propaganda isn’t good or bad, it’s just a tool. It’s information, andit reveals something about the person saying it. If someone spouts good, positive messages, then that’s probably what he believes. If someone spouts cruel and horrible messages, then what are we supposed to think of him?

 

The problem with morality is that we aren’t born with it. Morality has to be taught. Our stories have taught us to be bad and cruel for so long we don’t know how to be any other way. It’s sad, and it’s also deliberate. That’s what our elites want us to think, andwill pay any price to keep that illusion over our heads.

 

So I’ll finally answer the question. Why does the West hate Russia?Our elites hate Russiabecause she poses an existential, ideological threat to our world order. Russia represents the idea thathuman beings don’t have to be evil. There is an alternative to being evil, and it’s good to not be evil. That is why our elites hate Russia, and are determined to destroy her at any cost, even at the risk of utterly destroying our own civilizations in the process.

We essentially have no morality, its not only the gov, its the NGOs we allow to work to destroy our society down to the ultimate death of the family and humanity. The Ukraine war is the precipice and if something is not done to reveal the truth, theres no turning back.
