and many of you can blame me for my cynicism….

It’s just that I’m reviewing story after story on youtube that describe the unprecedented chaos in the world – and all of it has Biden’s and Blinken’s fingerprints. Both of them are as evil as they are incompetent….

I don’t know what I would do – but I can’t forget what happened to that…[Read more]

It always amazes me how many virtue signalers express concerns over Russia’s arrest of Navalny who at the end of the day is not an opposition ‘leader’ but a provocateur ….and this is a Russian domestic issue. Does Russia interfere in BLM or lack of potable water in Flint, Michigan? For further hypocrisy, observe the treatment of Julian Assange.…[Read more]

An especially dangerous threat to liberty occurs when members of the press collude with government agencies instead of monitoring and exposing the abuses of those agencies.

I’m still processing the event…and appreciate so much getting a second set of eyes.

When I went to Georgetown – late 70’s early 80’s and when I went to U of Md. in early 2000’s, academia was kind of a hurdle and it was more of my worrying about dotting eyes and crossing t’s – i.e., seeing the trees rather than the forest. Now pardon me while…[Read more]

Just finished a zoom conference call with participants from Georgetown University’s Center for Eurasian Russian and Eastern European Studies Department and the Director General of the Russian International Affairs Council….trying to capture my notes and summarize…But the MIT-run conference exemplified just what you said.
