#1  Probably redundant plug for Shepitko's Wings (1966), in which comrade former pilot, not entirely satisfied with modern Soviet life, recalls empowerment and broadened career opportunities of Stalin years. Shocking lack of cussing and explicit sex or violence. Appallingly racist casting. But maybe you too will fall a little in love with both lead and director... and how often does that happen?

Is it possible to make chastity a national idea?
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
by Petr Akopov

[REGNUM] One of the main myths of the liberal worldview is that in a totalitarian society the state controls everything, including family life and sexual relations. Therefore, it is not surprising that one of the news from the Seventh International Hippocratic Medical Forum held in Moscow found a deep response in the hearts of fighters against the “new Russian fascism.”

Government Corruption
Our Endlessly Embarrassing FBI
[Townhall] J. Edgar Hoover’s famous mandate to every FBI employee was, “do not embarrass the Bureau!” In the day of Tommy gun wielding G-men, and Hoover’s tenure as the FBI’s monolithic director, the public image of an incorruptible, mechanistically analytic, and scientifically scrupulous cadre of federal investigators was almost as important as arresting bank robbers, wise guys, and Nazi saboteurs.

Therefore, “do not embarrass the Bureau” was sacrosanct — at least until Barack Hussein Obama and his lackey, former FBI Director James Comey. Their legacy has been one of gaffe, buffoonery, public humiliation, and betrayal. The sludge of politicization flowed from Obama’s Oval Office, with a candied surface sweet with the trite slogan “hope and change.” Comey’s infamous press conference, exonerating Hillary Clinton’s felonious mishandling of top secret information was Obama’s flanking of the Maginot Line, and portended the unthinkable acts of politicization to follow, especially after the instillation of his sock puppet, Joe Biden.

The FBI’s Office of Public Affairs has managed to embarrass the Bureau and just about every member of the former/retired Special Agent community I’m in contact with. In an incredibly tone-deaf and unaware post, the FBI’s X (formerly Twitter) account called attention to “Higher prices, dangerous products, and closing businesses. These are just some of the impacts Organized Retail Theft has on everyday Americans.” The post concludes, “Learn what the #FBI does to combat these crimes on the federal level to protect shoppers across the country.”

Anyone who isn’t half asleep, or blinded by DEI ideology, is aware that “Organized Retail Theft” has been perpetrated almost exclusively by minorities, stoked to larcenous mania by race-baiting leftists in government and legacy media, who agitate ceaselessly about institutional racism — institutions which liberals largely control. The swarms of smash and grabbers lustily fall on their victims, often minority small business owners, to plunder in the name of “reparations.” If one didn’t know better, you’d think the spate of strong arm robberies were part of a KGB action plan.

Following hard on the tail of the X post gaffe, was the arrest of journalist Steve Baker. He was arrested by the FBI on March 1st after turning himself in to the Dallas Field Office, allegedly for some federal violation(s) committed on January 6th, though details have yet to be released. Reportedly, the FBI had been “hanging charges” over Baker’s head for two years, finally notifying Baker to turn himself in.

Baker attended the J6th rally and reported on events there, taking photographs and video for The Blaze, though not a full-time, paid journalist at the time. Subsequently, Baker was caught in the J6th dragnet, wherein he (presumably) and the vast majority of other arrestees have been charged with a spurious smattering of “federal trespassing charges.” Baker’s attorney posted on X, “To any federal LEO or prosecutor, past or present: Have you EVER had a misdemeanor offender who agreed to voluntarily appear in court for an initial appearance - and does so - then be cuffed for transport to court and THEN CUFFED TO A BELLY CHAIN IN COURT? EVER?”

After a local and federal law enforcement career spanning nearly 30 years, I can state categorically that it is beyond the pale to handcuff a misdemeanor subject and then purp-walk that subject in an obvious attempt to humiliate. A belly chain in court can only be explained by the DOJ's fanatical zeal to persecute anyone perceived as supportive of Trump.

Additionally, a close colleague of mine posted on X, “…25 years in the FBI — four field offices and two FBI HQ assignments — I’m not even aware of an FBI investigation that involved a misdemeanor charge/arrest…This is 100% DOJ driven.”

When the dust finally settles, the FBI will be seen to have been the patsy of the Biden administration. With a complicit Director and fanatical Attorney General, the FBI will continue to run amok. Only a national leader like Trump can reverse the course and begin to restore the FBI’s true mission and reputation

#3 



The current FBI practices will be here until the O'Biden Regime is exposed and dissolved.

It has become a DC controlled political and regime opposition suppression tool.

With that said.
Having worked around a few in my assignments, I still believe there are still more Constitutional following Agents than the DC Swamp corrupted / tainted ones. But DC rules.

#4  Arrogant and disgusting. I've always held them in such regard. Yes, they hate soldiers also.

#5  Day one Trump should send the Marshalls in SWAT style to seize all electronics and phones of every FBI agent in DC. Raid their homes the same way. Fire them ALL. Dig through all their crap and charge them with EVERY crime. Also require that FBI must have audio and video of interviews to be evidence...no more 'notes' they go back and change.

#7  If one didn’t know better, you’d think the spate of strong arm robberies were part of a KGB action plan.

A far more likely suspect is the CCP.

😏
Given the subject and the sigma attached,
why would a person, submit to the survey study?


Given the stated 90 million is world wide.
According to a few charts the that population for 15 y/o to 70 year olds is about 6.1 Billion = 0.147% of a percent.

Thanks for the double check, facts are important and I seem to have dropped a zero when using Percentage Calculator.
