Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:
Russia Building New Underground Nuclear Command Posts ~ Hmmm… this is a rather disconcerting development ~
U.S. intelligence officials said construction has been underway for several years on “dozens” of hardened underground bunkers in Moscow and around the country.
Disclosure of the underground command bunkers comes as Army Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti, commander of U.S. European Command, warned recently that Russia has adopted a nuclear use doctrine he called “alarming.”
The nuclear war preparations are estimated to cost billions of dollars, and raise questions about past U.S. aid to Moscow that was aimed at helping secure Russian nuclear facilities.
And then there’s this ➡ Fears grow Russia is using the Ukraine battlefield to rehearse for war with the West ~
Vladimir Putin is thought to be testing tools for warfare in the field as he adopts a confrontational foreign policy stance – representing something of a “return to form” reminiscent of the Cold War days.
What’s Putin up to?
Trump’s new immigration plan: Similar to Obama’s plan, but “with a lot more energy” Not that his latest waffle will deter Trump’s enthusiastic pom-pom squad.
Globalism Is A Barbaric Relic – Voluntary Tribalism Is The Future ~ Very interesting – and optimistic – post from Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge ~
In the end, globalism is doomed to crash in a ball of flames, but not before the globalists attempt to take everyone else down with them. It would behoove us to start constructing our tribes now, rather than after the situation has become grim in the absolute. Through localized production, alternative trade models, local organization for mutual aid and defense, and the principles of liberty, America could become a network of tribes within a tribe; a self reliant system built around redundancy rather than interdependency.
Obama’s Cuba FAIL: The total failure of Obama’s policy of embracing and supporting the apartheid Castro regime ~ Capitol Hill Cubans points out the complete and utter failures of Obama’s Cuba’s policy ~
• Military has taken absolute control of the island’s tourism industry
• Reforms have been stifled
• Neighboring dictators are encouraged to fulfill their authoritarian ambitions without consequence

Since Obama opened the doors to more exchanges with Cuba, the Cuban government has repaid the American president by making life harder for all those on the island who dare oppose the regime.
Cop Says Red Cross Told Him Not to Pray with Flood Victims ~ This is beyond nuts! What do these people think the “Cross” in “Red Cross” represents? Clara Barton is spinning in her grave ~
A law enforcement officer said he was asked to leave a Red Cross shelter in Lafayette, Louisiana after he prayed with several flood victims.
Clay Higgins, a reserve city marshal and a local legend, dropped by after work to minister to evacuees at the Heymann Performing Arts Center on Aug. 19.
“I was not proselytizing,” he told me. “I was just there to thank volunteers and offer prayers and encouragement.”
The EpiPen Scandal Is Worse Than You Think: What You’re Not Being Told ~ Consumers get the shaft because our socialist leaders and their greedy cronies are allergic to free-market capitalism.
How Gay Activists Will Respond to a Major Scientific Report That Refutes Their Talking Points ~ Hint: it rhymes with the name of a river in Egypt ~
What were the conclusions of this study? “The major takeaway, as the editor of the journal explains, is that ‘some of the most frequently heard claims about sexuality and gender are not supported by scientific evidence.’”
How will gay activists respond? They will shoot the messengers. Watch and see. We’ve seen the pattern for years. […]
A Prayer in a Park, for Peace and for Preservation ~ This special, God-honoring place refutes the bogus separation-of-church-and state argument (Shhh… don’t tell the ACLU).
