Ukrainians have been paying a terrible price for the failure to ensure sensible and reasonable negotiations from 2014 to February 2022, which could have prevented the invasion by Russia in the first place, and once the war started, could have led to the end of this war. All wars end in negotiations, but these negotiations to end wars should be permitted to restart.

What the 2022 Midterm Election Charade Offers Us
That neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are offering anything to alleviate the problems working people face is illustrated by their campaign fear-mongering – the former over “fascism” and the latter over “socialists” and “radicals.” No matter which party dominates the midterm elections, do not expect either will herald in fascism or socialism.

Fact Check: NO Evidence Two ‘Far-Right Websites’ Attributed to Pelosi Attack Suspect David DePape Were Faked + My Two Cents
Does the fact that two of David DePape’s webpages were not archived in the Internet Wayback Machine until after the attack on Paul Pelosi prove they were “fabricated” after the suspect’s arrest to smear conservatives? No, that’s not true: The webpages attributed to DePape were so small and obscure that they would likely not be archived in that database without someone submitting them, according to a spokesman for Archive.org. The pages were archived hours after police named David DePape as the person arrested for attacking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband. Archive.org “patrons” manually used the “save this now” feature, the spokesman told Lead Stories, which saved a copy in case the original was taken down. The Wayback Machine doesn’t automatically archive every page on the web.

I haven’t really been following this story, except for a couple of internet searches earlier. I did see The Gateway Pundit claim and felt that it was stupid. Anyway, the Democrats are blaming MAGA supporters and MAGA supporters are blaming Antifa (because he supposedly lived in yellow bus in front of a house with a BLM sign—and a rainbow flag). He claims to have been radicalized by GamerGate in a couple of blog posts. He blogged about many things that really can’t be contributed to any one political ideology. At least one post that I recall seeing was a Jimmy Dore video and a couple were from Steve Turley and Mike Lindell. I saw at least one claim that he belonged to the Green Party, at one time. The man was homeless, with mental health issues, and an alleged drug addiction. I’m curious about his motive, (haven’t found one, yet, and may never since both sides want to control the narrative). Was it really because of a so-called political ideology or was he upset that Pelosi’s (or anyone in Congress, for that matter) done nothing for homelessness, etc?! If Congress did more to solve poverty, and homelessness, (instead of giving the Military Industrial Complex handouts) maybe they wouldn’t have to worry about “domestic extremism”?! Instead, they’ll just offer bandages, like gun control—maybe hammer control (joking)—rather than look into reasons why people become disgruntled with the ruling class?! Don’t forget to vote Blue because fascism or vote Red because lawlessness or something?! #SSDD 🙄
Stop the Ukrainian Myrotvorets kill list that targets children
Vanessa Beeley, Oct 29 2022
The hit list of the Ukrainian nationalists (aka “Myrotvorets”) that publishes personal information on the people deemed as “enemies of the Kiev regime” has been endangering the lives of children, journalists and ordinary people since 2014. The Russian Mission to the UN in Geneva has transmitted an open letter from the “Foundation to Battle Injustice” NGO to Volker Türk, the UNHCHR, regarding the malicious activities of “Myrotvorets.” The letter, signed by the journalists who are listed on the “Myrotvorets” and receive death threats, and the journalists who wish to stop these flagrant violations of human rights, calls on the UNHCHR to condemn the activities of “Myrotvorets.” The Russian Mission to the UN in Geneva joins this call and urges the High Commissioner to pay special attention, duly assess and publicly react to the existence and operation of “Myrotvorets,” which violates human rights and puts people’s lives in jeopardy.

The Truth About Rishi Sunak
Oct 29, 2022 – Rishi Sunak’s rise to the top job in the UK is not a sign of British multiculturalism, nor is it an example of the increasing clout of Indians abroad. It is the rise of a classic British conservative, who is pro-finance and anti-immigration. The added advantage is that he might bring the Hindu ‘swing’ vote to the Tories.
