The United States has just approved a $108.1 million sale of maintenance equipment for the HAWK missile system to Ukraine, a transaction that reveals far more about Western military vulnerability than it does about Ukrainian strength. This is not a story about a superpower arming an ally; it is a story about a desperate scramble to keep a 1950s-era weapons platform operational because modern alternatives are too expensive, too scarce, and too slow to produce.
The Great Reversal: How Social Contract Theory Became State Apologetics
This year in the United States, we recognize the 250th anniversary of the final presentation of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.

We Are Being Conditioned For A “Big Reveal” About UFOs And Aliens
It isn’t just a coincidence that there has been an explosion in interest in the subject of UFOs and aliens recently. The truth is that we are being conditioned. For decades, books, movies, television shows, and video games have been conditioning us to think a certain way about encounters with very strange unidentified aircraft that are flying through our skies and encounters with very strange unidentified beings that seem to have unusual powers. But now this year, it appears that the level of conditioning is reaching a crescendo. We are being told to brace ourselves for some sort of “big reveal” that will change everything, and that should deeply alarm all of us.
Iran Warns Will Take The War “Beyond The Region” If Trump Restarts Attacks
