Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:

[ColonelCassad] Historian Alexander Stepanov on how the local authorities in Karelia actually glorify the participants in the rebellion, who set as their goal the rejection of Karelia from Soviet Russia and its annexation to Finland.

#1  Poor Russia, always the victim.

#2  Russian paranoia runs deep, something akin to our NASCAR or Georgia BULLDOGS.

#3  ...The Finns cleaned Russian clocks once, and gave 'em a bloody nose on a second occasion. They have no intention of allowing the Russians to simply run over them.

Government Corruption
Ivermectin 'Works Throughout All Phases' Of COVID According To Leaked Military Documents
[ZERO] Update (1505ET): As more and more information pours out of the Project Veritas leaked military documents, there appears to be a damning section in support of Ivermectin as a Covid-19 treatment.

"Ivermectin (identified as curative in April 2020) works throughout all phases of illness because it both inhibits viral replication and modulates the immune response."

#1  But if it is widely used Big Pharma will loose gobs of money.

#3  Things that need decoupled from the gummint: Money. Health care. Self defense.

#4  If it didn't work they would not have tried to suppress it.

#5  /\ There you go Angstrom, employing logical thinking again :-)

#6  ^ But, can a gummint that is fake all the way down do a real head-fake?

Science & Technology
Barely A Week Into 2022--Is It SHTF Time Already?
[MeaningInHistory] Yesterday we were asking whether there were more signs of Dems anxiously looking for an exit strategy from the Covid Regime. Today, it’s starting to look like SHTF time already. The trajectory—the search for an exit strategy—has been apparent for a while, but the motive force behind that search appears to be getting more urgent.

For one thing, Fauci is starting to look distinctly radioactive. This follows on the release by Project Veritas of documentary proof that Fauci has been lying all along about US funding—with his personal involvement—in Gain of Function (GOF) research in Wuhan. There are multiple stories out today about this, and Rand Paul has been raking Fauci over the coals in the Senate. Because the material is somewhat dense, and to avoid repetition, I’m going to recommend the CTH digest of the details:

#1  What the article sites as the "4th branch of gov't" ....actually IS the government.

Everything else, to include the current occupants of the WH, is simply Kabuki theater. Donald Trump was an exception who became a control problem and was removed.

#2  If the SHTF, what then? Fauci gets to take an early retirement?

#3  Please!!!!

#5  Related thoughts on Ragnarok:
Fimbulwinter is the harsh winter that precedes the end of the world and puts an end to all life on Earth. Fimbulwinter is three successive winters, when snow comes in from all directions, without any intervening summer. Innumerable wars follow.
so winter of 2020, 2021, 2022.....?

#6  Could be those three storms will be three different price listing updates in 2022 alone.

Infospace is setting the bar at 7% during 2021 (that itself is high), which is not only low, but mostly during 4th quarter alone as snoopers and speculators began anticipating the new year price listing increases.
