Is the West truly fighting for democracy or hell-bent on crushing Russia and whatever it takes to purge Russian President Vladimir Putin from existence, spending billions of dollars to Ukraine, which has already resulted in a devastating loss of life,
an ensuing energy crisis, and a real threat of nuclear war, Rich Berdan, a pundit of the Modern Diplomacy, says mericans, and perhaps Europeans feeling the greatest pain, need to ask if they are prepared to suffer hardship and even die for the politics of this war,
Mr. Berdan advises. Western GOVTs and most media outlets have championed Mr. Zelensky as the standard bearer of democracy. But in reality, if he were the POTUS, Trump would have been arrested and jailed, Fox News – taken off the air, the assets of the New York Post – seized,
FBI would have been raiding on the homes of dissenting protestors, the writer suggests
Supporters in America and the EU funding this proxy war against Russia (should not be blinded to the very serious democratic deficits in Ukraine)
knowing a there is long history of territorial shifts in the region. Should these supporters “ignore the evidence, trust what they are told and be classed into a subservient citizen
that is unwilling to ask why Zelensky’s undemocratic regime continues to reap billions of dollars of weapons to fight this war,” asks Mr. Berdan
Does Biden really care if Ukraine is destroyed at a great cost to life if Putin is removed?
Do the people in the West want their taxes going to this war when they cannot afford to heat their homes, buy groceries for their families, and find ourselves edging closer to nuclear annihilation.

Ever wondered if real salt is really useful?
Supermarket cooking "salt" is not.

Real salt is sea salt, Himalayan salt, and rock salt. #food #Salt
Our blood and extracellular water (the fluid where our cells "swim") contain the same mineral composition as seawater. Optimal health can be achieved when our fluids, including blood, are closest to the mineral composition of the sea. #Food
Cooking "salt" by itself is not suitable for the body and causes health problems.
It triggers blood pressure concerns and contributes to water retention. As an alternative, you can use Celtic salt. It is the purest salt in the world. No bleaches, preservatives or chemicals.

which the energy crisis threatens to push into recession as companies and consumers reel from high power and gas bills. That’s natural enough: Europe is simply not ready for sharp movements
While Berlin has been scrambling to reorganize its energy mix amid gas cuts,
and there has been disagreement in the governing coalition over the lifespan of nuclear power plants, Chancellor Scholz ordered Germany's three remaining nuclear plants to remain in operation until April to fend off a possible energy crunch
The U.S. intelligence community’s investment fund In-Q-Tel is partnering with the tech company Trust Lab which develops software that aims to root out “misinformation”, harmful foreign content and speakers online, raising questions about whether the GOVT is spying on speech on
the internet.
Trust Lab says a “majority of the leading social media companies” already use its tools and services and that its products are built by former executives at tech companies such as Google, YouTube, TikTok, and Reddit.
Precisely how the U.S. intelligence community plans to use the technology is not fully known, but the CIA said it follows laws regarding data collection involving Americans.
