<br />
'''Gaius Julius Caesar''' (July 12/13, 100 B.C - March 15, 44 B.C) He was a [[Roman]] military & political leader and one of the most influential people in [[history]]. A brilliant general, he laid the groundwork for the future [[Roman Empire]].<br />
<br />
[[Conservapedia's Original Source Project]] maintains an illustrated English and [[Harvard University Press|Harvard University Press']] [[Loeb Classical Library]]'s Greek-English copy of [[Plutarch|Plutarch's]] [[Original Source: Plutarch - Lives - Caesar|Life of Caesar]].<br />
<br />
= Birth and Early Life (100-86 BC)=<br />
Gaius Julius Caesar was born on 12/13 July 100 BC in [[Rome]] into the ancient Julian clan, a patrician family with excellent connections and modestly claiming decent from [[Aeneas]] & [[Aphrodite]] (Roman [[Venus]]). Yet the family was apparently not wealthy in his generation. Not withstanding, this lead his early life to be shaped by a childhood amoungste the [[plebian]]s in [[Subura]], being a lower-class neighborhood of [[Rome]]. This upbringing clearly shaped much of his later political focus to draw the power of the [[Plebian|plebs]].<br />
<br />
His father, also [[Gaius Julius Caesar (the Elder)|Gaius Julius Caesar]] earned his coin as a [[Praetor]] (in the legal sense, being the equivalent of a US Supreme Court Justice / Judge). This necessitates that he was also a [[Senator]] as per the [[Cursus Honorum|''cursus honorum'']] which could be exceedingly expensive to climb. In his later years was also destinguised in having also served as Govenor of Asia (western and all of central modern day Turkey), which was one of Rome's wealthiest provinces. But there as in life he was known for being of mild manner, avoided violent factionalisms and evidently did not practice the extortions so common amongst his peers as a means to obtain wealth through position. After which he returned home and '''died suddenly in 85 BC leaving young Julius Caesar head of the household at about 15''' and without an income stream.<br />
<br />
Finances at home clearly were not good manifest in young Julius Caesar's '''two older sisters''' known as [[Julia Major]] and [[Julia Minor]]. While aristorcratic first marriages were common from 12 to 15, 16-20 was also frequent where political manipulation was present or simply parental choice. It is unknown if the girls were already married when their father died, but if their younger brother was about 15 it can be assumed that under such financial stressors that Julius' sisters would have married immediately after if they already hadn't. A clue does exist that [[Julia Minor]]'s marriage was immediate in that her daughter [[Atia Balba Caesonia|Atia]] is understood to have been born 85-80 BC necessitating an immediate marriage after their father's death if it hadn't already happened.<br />
<br />
While both Julius' sisters married Senators, [[Julia Minor|Julia minor's]] husband was not a [[Patrician]], but a [[Plebian]] who had enough money to complete the [[Cursus Honorum|''cursus honorum'']] to become a [[senator]] creating the age old need for new money to marry into an eliet family to obtain status; and young Julius' family clearly needed the dowry. Yet [[Julia Minor]] happily became the grandmother of [[Gaius Octavius Thurinus]], later crowned [[Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus]].<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Julius Caesar's mother, [[Aurelia Cottae]], came from the influential Aurelii Cottae family, a respected and politically active branch of the Roman aristocracy. She was so well known that even [[Cicero]] spoke well of her. A family observer would say that Julius obtained his political abilities from his mother and his calm calculation from his father. So Aurelia played a decisive role in Caesar's upbringing, political connections and then later protected Caesar during the political turmoil of the Marian–Sullan conflict.<br />
<br />
It must also be noted that in the year prior to Julius' father's death, his uncle by marriage also died while in his 7th term as [[Consul]] in the year {{nowrap|'''86 BC.'''}} But after two decades in and out of the office, support for the family was still strong giving context to the ''Marian''-Sulan conflict. Julius' family connection was:<br />
<br />
<center><br />
'''Julius Caesar →(father was)→ Gaius Julius Caesar the Elder →(sibling was)→ Julia →(husband was)→ [[Gaius Marius]]'''<br />
<br />
and Gaius Marius' political ally and counterpart was [[Lucius Cornelius Cinna]], {{nowrap|[[Consul]] in: 87, 86, 85, 84 BC.}}<br />
</center><br />
<br />
Therefore, it should surprise none then, that young Julius Caesar now charged with the upkeep of the household married shortly after to the [[Cornelia]] daughter of the then presiding four time [[Consul]] [[Lucius Cornelius Cinna]] and received his prestigious first public office at 16 years old as the [[Flamen|High Priest of Jupiter]].<br />
<br />
<br />
=Career=<br />
==Flamen Dialis (86-82 BC)==<br />
[[Image:Flamines - frieze of the Ara Pacis - Galerus with Apex.png|250px|thumb|right|Flamen in traditional garb of the 1st century BC, complete with the tuffed apex.]]<br />
In '''86 BC''', at the age of just sixteen, Julius Caesar was appointed [[Flamen|Flamen Dialis]], the '''High Priest of Jupiter'''. This was one of the most ancient and prestigious priesthoods in Rome, traditionally reserved for patricians of impeccable lineage. It must also be noted that the [[Cult of Jupiter]] was the largest in the city. The appointment was arranged by the Marian leadership—notably his now father‑in‑law [[Lucius Cornelius Cinna]] loyalty to his recently deceased uncle [[Gaius Marius|Marius]] and then ratified by the Marian‑controlled government during the civil conflict with [[Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix Epaphroditus|Sulla]]. Caesar’s selection at such a young age demonstrates both his family’s prominence and the political calculation of the ruling faction.<br />
<br />
The office of [[Flamen|Flamen Dialis]] was highly restrictive. The priest was bound by numerous religious rules: he could not spend a night outside Rome, could not touch a horse, could not see an army, could not swear an oath, and could not be absent from certain rituals. These limitations made the priesthood incompatible with military or political ambition. If Caesar had remained [[Flamen Dialis]], he could never have pursued the career that later defined him.<br />
<br />
When [[Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix Epaphroditus|Sulla]] seized power in '''82 BC''', he targeted Marian appointees and stripped Caesar of the priesthood. Sulla also ordered Caesar to divorce Cornelia, the daughter of [[Lucius Cornelius Cinna]], in an effort to sever Caesar’s ties to the Marian faction and potentially force a politically acceptable bride upon him. Caesar’s refusal placed him in grave danger, but the loss of the priesthood ultimately freed him from its restrictive obligations and allowed him to begin the ''[[Cursus Honorum|cursus honorum]]''—the sequence of magistracies that formed the backbone of a Roman political career. Thus, the termination of his priesthood became the unexpected turning point that enabled his future rise.<br />
<br />
Although Caesar never again held the [[Flamen Dialis]] position, his early appointment reveals the political alliances of his youth and the confidence placed in him by the Marian leadership. It also marks the beginning of his public life, occurring long before his later and more famous priesthood as '''Pontifex Maximus'''<br />
<br />
==Flight and Survival (82–80 BC)==<br />
After refusing to divorce Cornelia at the demand of [[Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix Epaphroditus|Sulla]], Caesar was proscribed as a supporter of the Marian faction. He narrowly escaped execution, fled Rome, and spent the immediate years in hiding and flight. During this dangerous interval he found refuge among sympathetic nobles and communities in the Sabine country and elsewhere, relying on the intercession of influential figures to spare his life. This period of exile was not idle: it tested Caesar’s resolve, exposed him to the lethal stakes of Roman factional politics, and forced him to adopt a cautious, resourceful posture that would shape his later career.<br />
<br />
When Sulla’s severity eased, Caesar left hiding and attached himself to provincial commands to gain experience and rebuild his fortunes. He served on the staff of Marcus Minucius Thermus in Asia, where he took part in operations such as the siege of Mytilene and earned early military distinction. These years of service were formative: Caesar acted as a junior officer and staff aide rather than a common legionary, acquiring practical knowledge of Roman military organisation, provincial administration, and the patronage networks of senior commanders.<br />
<br />
==Tribunate and Early Military Service (79–72 BC)==<br />
Following his staff service in Asia, Caesar continued to serve in the field under commanders such as [[Publius Servilius Vatia]] in [[Cilicia]], participating in campaigns against pirates and local insurgents. In '''75 BC''' he was famously kidnapped by Cilician pirates while travelling to [[Rhodes]]; after his ransom was paid he raised a small force, captured the pirates, and had them executed, an episode that enhanced his reputation for audacity and decisive action.<br />
<br />
These experiences culminated in Caesar’s formal entry into the ''[[Cursus Honorum|cursus honorum]]''. In '''72 BC''' he was elected '''tribunus militum''', the first elected step on the Roman political ladder. As military tribune he commanded portions of a legion, supervised training and discipline, and performed staff duties for senior officers. The tribunate consolidated the practical command skills, provincial contacts, and public reputation he had developed during the preceding decade, preparing him for his later magistracies and provincial governorships.<br />
<br />
==Between Tribunate and Quaestorship (72–69 BC)==<br />
After completing his active provincial service and the famous episode with the Cilician pirates, Caesar returned to [[Rome]] to rebuild his public standing following the turmoil of the Sullan proscriptions. He devoted himself to legal advocacy and rhetorical training—traditionally studying under [[Apollonius Molon of Rhodes]]—and used the courts and public speaking to restore his family’s reputation and fortunes.<br />
<br />
During these years Caesar cultivated important patronage ties with leading populares and provincial elites, converting the military and personal prestige he had earned into political capital. The pirate incident in particular enhanced his popular image for audacity and decisive action, which proved useful in the electoral contests that followed. By 69 BC Caesar had completed this period of rehabilitation and networking and successfully stood for election as '''Quaestor''', formally entering the higher ranks of the ''[[Cursus Honorum|cursus honorum]]''.<br />
<br />
==Quaestor (69-65 BC)==<br />
In '''69 BC''' Julius Caesar was elected [[Quaestor]], the first rung of the Roman [[Cursus Honorum|cursus honorum]] and the office that formally entered him into the Senate. The Quaestorship was primarily a financial and administrative role, responsible for managing public funds, supporting provincial governors, and overseeing the logistics of taxation and expenditure. It is roughly comparable to a modern-day '''Deputy Minister for Finance and Administration'''.<br />
<br />
Caesar was assigned to [[Hispania Ulterior]], where he demonstrated both competence and ambition. His financial administration was efficient, and he gained early notice for resolving local disputes and supporting the governor’s judicial and military responsibilities. During this period he encountered a statue of [[Alexander the Great]], famously lamenting that he had achieved so little by comparison at the same age — a moment often cited as revealing Caesar’s intense personal drive.<br />
<br />
The [[Quaestor]]ship also conferred lifetime membership in the [[Roman Senate|Senate]], giving Caesar his first formal platform in Roman national politics. Although the office was junior, it marked the beginning of his public career and provided the administrative experience, provincial exposure, and senatorial standing necessary for his later rise through the higher magistracies.<br />
<br />
==Aedile (65-62 BC)==<br />
[[Image: Colosseum, Rome, Italy - Blue Night Sky - 1280px PD.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Ancient Rome's paramount public entertainment facility, the [[Colosseum]].]]<br />
<br />
In '''65 BC''' Julius Caesar was elected [[Aedile]], marking is progression to the second rung of the [[Cursus Honorum|''cursus honorum'']] in his active career progression. This position might be called the '''Minister for Public Entertainment, Festivals & Civic Culture''', or perhaps the '''Minister for Public Wellbeing'''. It was an office responsible for public games, festivals, buildings, and market regulation.<br />
<br />
Although the position was technically junior, Julius Caesar deliberately used it to dramatically increase his public reputation. He staged lavish public entertainments, restored public buildings, and displayed the trophies of his uncle [[Gaius Marius]], a symbolic gesture that appealed to the populares and irritated the conservative faction. These expenditures were enormous, but they were not reckless; the Aedileship was traditionally a role in which ambitious men invested heavily to cultivate public favour and strengthen their ‘brand’ for higher office. Caesar’s spending therefore reflected strategic political calculation rather than financial mismanagement, and it significantly increased his popularity among ordinary Romans.<br />
<br />
As Aedile, Caesar also oversaw market regulation and urban maintenance, enforcing standards of trade and ensuring the supply of grain and other essentials — the part of the office that most resembles a '''Minister for Public Wellbeing'''. His strict attention to food prices and grain availability won him exceptional support among ordinary Romans, who had long endured price manipulation, neglect, and creeping costs under previous Aediles. By restoring fairness in the markets and ensuring stable access to basic commodities, Caesar addressed the issue common citizens cared about most: the daily cost of living. His energetic administration therefore demonstrated both generosity and competence, transforming the Aedileship from a routine magistracy into a powerful platform for political advancement and preparing the ground for his later rise.<br />
<br />
==Pontifex Maximus (Pope)==<br />
[[Image:Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus - Dressed as the Pontifex Maximus - National Roman Museum, Italy - 960x1455px.jpg|150px|thumb|right|[[Augustus Caesar]] dressed in the garb of the Pontifex Maximus.]]<br />
In '''63 BC''' Julius Caesar was elected [[Pontifex Maximus]] for which he risked the entire family fortune to obtain through the purchase of votes to the highest priestly office in the Roman Republic.<ref>Suetonius, ''Divus Julius'', 13</ref> In modern terms he became the lifelong and more powerful version of we might call the cabinet '''Minister for Religion'''. His desire for the role was so great that Julius accrued debts therebuy bigger than he could repay; therefore he famously told his mother that morning as he left the house for the Forum:<br />
<br />
<center><br />
''“Mother, today you will see your son either as Pontifex Maximus… or as an exile.”''<ref>Suetonius, ''Divus Julius'', 13</ref><br />
</center><br />
<br />
Caesar’s earlier service as [[Flamen Dialis]], the High Priest of Jupiter, also strengthened his candidacy. Although the position had once restricted his political activity, it remained one of the most venerable priesthoods in Rome and gave him recognised religious standing. This background, combined with his bold campaigning, made his election as Pontifex Maximus credible despite his youth. <br />
<br />
Holding the office also gave Caesar substantial political leverage. The [[Pontifex Maximus]] controlled Rome’s religious calendar, including the insertion of intercalary months, which determined the legal length of a magistrate’s term and the timing of elections. By adjusting or regularizing the calendar, the chief priest could influence political momentum, extend the tenure of allies, or shorten that of opponents. The office also oversaw the interpretation of omens and auspices, which carried legal weight in the Senate and assemblies; a favourable omen could validate public action, while an unfavourable one could halt legislation, delay elections, or prevent a military departure.<br />
<br />
In addition, the [[Pontifex Maximus]] supervised all priestly colleges, giving Caesar indirect influence over elite religious bodies whose members were drawn from Rome’s most powerful families. Control over sacred law and ritual precedent allowed him to shape public religious life in ways that supported his political agenda. Although technically a religious office, the Pontifex Maximus possessed tools that could subtly but effectively steer civic affairs, '''making it one of the most politically consequential positions in the Republic'''.<br />
<br />
The [[Pontifex Maximus]] was traditionally regarded as the religious ‘Father’ of Rome, addressed as ''“Father of the Priests”''' (Latin: Pater Patrum), and held lifetime authority over sacred law, the religious calendar, augury, and all priestly colleges. This role was paternal, sacral, and permanent — ''a religious fatherhood that long pre‑dated Christianity'' and is the ancient analogue of the later title "Holy Father" / ‘Pope’ (Latin/Spanish/German/Dutch: Papa).<br />
<br />
As [[Pontifex Maximus]], Julius Caesar exercised his religious authority actively and politically. He reorganized the calendar, corrected long‑standing abuses in the priestly colleges, and used the office’s prestige to strengthen his public standing in Rome. The position gave him control over sacred law, festival timing, and the interpretation of omens — all of which carried significant influence in Roman public life. Although the office had traditionally been non‑executive, Caesar’s assertive use of its powers elevated the Pontifex Maximus from a primarily ceremonial priesthood into a central instrument of statecraft. His tenure marks the moment when Rome’s chief priest became a visible participant in governance, setting the stage for later developments in his career and in the constitutional evolution of Rome.<br />
<br />
==Praetor (62-59 BC)==<br />
In '''62 BC''' Julius Caesar was elected [[Praetor]], the senior judicial magistracy of the Roman Republic and the final step of the [[Cursus Honorum|cursus honorum]] before the [[Consul]]ship. The Praetorship carried ''imperium'', granting both judicial authority in Rome and military command when assigned to a province. In modern terms, the Praetor functioned as a combination of a '''Chief Justice''' / '''Supreme Court Judge''' and a '''Deputy Executive Governor'''.<br />
<br />
As [[Praetor]], Caesar presided over Rome’s civil courts, issued legal rulings, and administered the complex body of Roman law. His term was marked by efficiency, fairness, and political tact, strengthening his reputation as a capable administrator. The office also allowed him to publish a praetorian edict—an annual legal proclamation that shaped judicial procedure—further expanding his influence in Roman legal affairs.<br />
<br />
Caesar’s Praetorship was followed by his assignment as governor of [[Hispania Ulterior]], where he exercised military command, resolved provincial disputes, and restored financial order. His successes in [[Hispania]] earned him both military prestige and the political capital necessary to seek the [[Consul]]ship. The [[Praetor]]ship therefore marked Caesar’s transition from a rising politician to a leader with independent authority, preparing him for the decisive steps that would define his later career.<br />
<br />
==Formation of the First Triumvirate (60 BC)==<br />
After completing his [[Praetor]]ship and proving his administrative and military competence in [[Hispania Ulterior]], Caesar returned to [[Rome]] with both prestige and urgent political needs. His successes in [[Spain]] had earned him the right to celebrate a triumph, yet doing so would have barred him from standing for the [[Consul]]ship<ref>A general seeking a [[Triumphal Entry|triumph]] must remain outside the ''pomerium'' (the sacred boundary of Rome).<br>A candidate for consul must be inside the pomerium in person.<br>These two requirements are mutually exclusive.</ref> in 59 BC. Caesar chose the Consulship, signalling his intention to pursue the highest offices of the Republic and to reshape Roman politics through strategic alliances.<br />
<br />
It is well noted that [[Rome]] in '''60 BC''' was paralysed by factional deadlock and unable to perform even basic functions. The Senate’s conservative bloc resisted reforms, while populares leaders lacked the coordinated strength to overcome entrenched opposition. Caesar recognised that no single statesman could break this stalemate alone. He therefore brokered a private political compact with the two most powerful men in Rome: [[Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus|Pompey the Great]], the celebrated general, and [[Marcus Licinius Crassus|Crassus]], the Republic’s wealthiest citizen. This behind-closed-doors alliance, later known as the [[First Triumvirate]] which was a personal agreement to combine influence, resources, and electoral power.<br />
<br />
To ratify this treaty of the [[First Triumvirate]], Julius Caesar married his daughter [[Julia (daughter of Julius Caesar)|Julia]] to [[Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus|Pompey the Great]] in '''59 BC'''. Although arranged for political purposes, the union quickly became apparently genuine and affectionate. Thus Julia’s influence keep Pompey well‑disposed toward Caesar. Plutarch records that her presence preserved goodwill between the two men.<ref>[[Plutarch]], ''Life of Pompey'' 53.6<br>''“she kept Pompey gentle and friendly towards Caesar.”''</ref> Modern historians often describe Julia as the personal bond or glue that held the Triumvirate together, for her character softened political tensions and ensured mutual trust while she lived.<br />
<br />
Each member gained what he most needed. [[Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus|Pompey]] sought land grants for his veterans and ratification of his eastern settlements; [[Marcus Licinius Crassus|Crassus]] desired favourable tax reforms for the ''equestrian publicani''; and Caesar required support to secure the [[Consul]]ship and a strong provincial command. '''Their cooperation dominated the elections of 59 BC''', enabling Caesar to win the Consulship and immediately advance the legislative aims of his partners. <br />
<br />
The formation of the [[First Triumvirate]] marked a decisive turning point in Caesar’s career:<br />
* It transformed him from a rising statesman into one of the three most powerful figures in the Republic<br />
* It provided the political foundation for his later command in Gaul, and<br />
* It initiated the sequence of events that would ultimately lead to [[Caesar's Civil War]] and the end of the [[Roman Republic]].<br />
<br />
==Consulship (59 BC)==<br />
In '''59 BC''' Julius Caesar entered the Consulship with the full backing of the [[First Triumvirate]], enabling him to overcome the senatorial deadlock that had paralysed [[Rome]] in the preceding years. Although the office was traditionally [[collegiate]], Caesar’s counterpart and co-consul [[Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus]] aligned himself with the conservative faction and attempted to obstruct Caesar’s legislative agenda. The year quickly became defined by political confrontation, with Caesar relying on popular support and the influence of [[Pompey]] and [[Crassus]] to advance his measures.<br />
<br />
===Caesar’s Agrarian Law (''lex agraria'')===<br />
Caesar’s first major act as consul was the lex agraria, a land‑distribution law granting property to [[Pompey|Pompey’s]] veterans and to impoverished citizens of Rome. The [[Senate]] fiercely resisted, but Caesar bypassed their obstruction and brought the proposal before the popular assembly, where it passed with overwhelming support.<br />
<br />
[[Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus]] attempted to halt the proceedings by declaring obnuntiatio (unfavourable omens), an act made all the more ironic because Caesar, as [[Pontifex Maximus]], was the highest religious authority in [[Rome]] and legally responsible for interpreting such signs.<ref>Plutarch, ''Caesar'', 14</ref> The crowd, enraged at [[Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus|Bibulus’]] obstruction of this extremely popular measure, nearly slew him, broke his [[Faces|fasces]], and drove him from the [[Forum]]. Fearing for his life, [[Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus|Bibulus]] withdrew from public activity for the remainder of the year and issued edicts from his house. His absence led Romans to joke triumphantly that the year was “the consulship of ''Julius'' and ''Caesar'',”<ref>Suetonius, ''Divus Julius'', 20.2</ref><ref>Dio, 38.6</ref> reflecting Caesar’s effective sole control of the magistracy of the [[consul]]ship.<br />
<br />
Caesar’s methods during his [[consul]]ship alarmed many [[senator]]s and earned him lasting hostility within the [[Aristocratocracy|aristocracy]]. [[Plutarch]] and [[Suetonius]] record that Caesar relied on organised street supporters to force his measures through the [[Forum]], and violence broke out whenever opponents attempted to obstruct him. [[Cassius Dio]] is even more explicit, stating that Caesar’s faction “surrounded the houses” of senators and threatened them with violence if they did not support the desired legislative outcomes.<ref>[[Cassius Dio]], 38.6–7</ref> Bibulus’ fasces were broken, tribunes were assaulted, and senators were pushed aside as Caesar pressed his agrarian law to a vote.<br />
<br />
By bypassing the Senate, ignoring [[Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus|Bibulus'’]] declarations of unfavourable omens, and using his position as [[Pontifex Maximus]] to neutralise religious objections, Caesar appeared to many of his peers as a man willing to overturn constitutional norms to achieve his aims. '''These actions created deep resentment among the conservative faction and laid the foundations for the political confrontations that would follow in his proconsulship, the civil war and ultimately in his assassination.'''<br />
<br />
===Caesar’s Grain Law (''lex frumentaria'')===<br />
Caesar’s reform of the grain distribution was welcomed enthusiastically by Rome’s poor, who loved Julius for it. Corruption had caused the grain rolls to swell with fraudulent entries, including the names of dead citizens whose portions were collected by administrators, and politically connected clients who received double allocations. The numbers illustrate the scale of the abuse:<br />
<br />
<center><br />
''''320,000 registered recipients prior to the reforms reduced to → 150,000 recipients after the reforms.'''<br />
</center><br />
<br />
Corrupt officials collected grain on behalf of dead entrants and sold the surplus for personal profit. Non‑citizens were enrolled, and favoured individuals received double portions. Beyond this, the supply itself was irregular, and distribution days often saw insufficient quantities, leaving bread lines sent home empty‑handed and hungry.<br />
<br />
Caesar ordered a complete audit of the lists and reduced the number of registered recipients by more than half, removing duplicates, non‑citizens, and the names of the dead. Although less grain was now issued overall, it was distributed honestly and reliably, giving the poor a regular supply for the first time in years. This anti‑corruption measure greatly increased Caesar’s popularity among the urban masses, who saw him as the only magistrate willing to confront abuses they had long suspected or experienced directly.<br />
<br />
These reforms, however, struck at the income streams of the elite who had been managing the racket, turning them into bitter political enemies. Like his agrarian laws, Caesar’s grain law was fiercely resisted, and the same tactics of obstruction, popular agitation, and senatorial hostility were deployed against him—further deepening the political divide that would shape the conflicts of his later career.<br />
<br />
In modern terms, Caesar’s grain law functioned as a state‑funded social security programme. By guaranteeing a regular, publicly financed supply of grain to Rome’s poorest citizens, the *lex frumentaria* provided a basic welfare safety net comparable to contemporary social assistance systems. Although limited to citizens and focused on food security rather than monetary payments, it represented the closest institution the late Republic possessed to a formalised social welfare scheme. As with noted modern security systems, this class of recipients yielded their support and vote to whoever maintained their security. Theirfore they loved Caesar as one who had grown up among them in Subura and acted in their interests.<br />
<br />
===Crassus’ Financial Reforms===<br />
====Lex de publicanis====<br />
In addition to the agrarian and grain laws, Caesar advanced legislation favourable to the interests of [[Marcus Licinius Crassus|Crassus]] and the [[Equestrian Order|equestrian order]]. Crassus had made much of his vast fortune through state‑backed enterprises, particularly tax‑farming companies and public works contracts. It was therefore logical that he pushed Caesar to table measures benefiting government contractors. The most significant of these was the ''lex de publicanis'', a law that renegotiated the tax‑farming contracts in the province of Asia. The publicani had overbid on these contracts and faced severe financial losses, but the ''lex de publicanis'' allowed them to withdraw their bids and resubmit them under more favourable terms.<ref>Dio, 38.7</ref><br />
<br />
This effectively rescued the equestrian tax‑farming companies from bankruptcy and greatly strengthened the political influence of both Caesar and Crassus. The equestrians, grateful for their intervention, became firm supporters of the [[First Triumvirate|Triumvirate]]. The Senate, however, viewed the measure as an abuse of consular authority and resented Caesar for empowering a wealthy non‑senatorial class at their expense.<br />
<br />
====Judicial Reforms Favouring the Equestrian Order====<br />
Caesar also supported judicial reforms that increased equestrian influence in the courts, further alienating the conservative aristocracy. These measures weakened senatorial control over juries and strengthened the position of the equestrian class in legal proceedings, particularly in cases involving provincial administration and financial disputes. Combined with the agrarian and grain laws, these reforms ensured that Caesar satisfied all three members of the First Triumvirate—Pompey, Crassus, and himself—while deepening the political divide that defined the year.<br />
<br />
====Ratification of Pompey’s Eastern Settlements and Anti‑Corruption Laws====<br />
Caesar next secured the ratification of [[Pompey|Pompey’s]] eastern settlements and enacted additional financial measures favourable to the ''equestrian publicani'', fulfilling the political aims of his Triumvirate partners. These actions strengthened Caesar’s alliance with both [[Pompey]] and [[Marcus Licinius Crassus|Crassus]] and demonstrated the effectiveness of their combined influence.<br />
<br />
At the same time, Caesar introduced laws against extortion in the provinces, reformed judicial procedures, and enforced public accountability on magistrates. These anti‑corruption measures increased his popularity among the plebs while provoking disaffection among those who profited from provincial exploitation. Caesar’s legislative programme thus simultaneously advanced the interests of his allies and positioned him as a champion of administrative reform.<br />
<br />
====Lex Vatinia====<br />
The most consequential achievement of Caesar’s consulship was the securing of his provincial command. Through the ''lex Vatinia'', Caesar received a five‑year proconsulship over [[Cisalpine Gaul]] and [[Illyricum]], an unusually long term that granted him independent imperium and control of several legions. This command placed him in the strategically vital Po Valley, giving him access to recruitment grounds, supply routes, and the Alpine passes leading into Gaul.<br />
<br />
Shortly after Caesar departed [[Rome]], the [[Senate]]—under pressure from [[Pompey]] and [[Marcus Licinius Crassus|Crassus]]—expanded his authority to include [[Transalpine Gaul]]. This addition transformed Caesar’s position from a routine provincial governor into the commander of Rome’s entire northern frontier. He now controlled the [[Mediterranean]] coast of southern France, the [[Rhône]] corridor, and the Helvetian borderlands, giving him both the opportunity and the justification to intervene in Gallic affairs.<br />
<br />
[[Crassus]] strongly supported this enlargement of Caesar’s command. As the financial patron of the equestrian publicani, Crassus understood that frontier provinces generated extensive administrative, logistical, and contracting activity. Roman expansion reliably produced new tax‑farming opportunities, construction projects, transport contracts, and financial instruments. While ancient sources do not state this explicitly, it is reasonable to suggest that [[Crassus]] recognised the commercial potential of a militarily active Gallic command and encouraged Caesar’s appointment for this reason.<br />
<br />
Although separated by two millennia, the dynamic is not entirely unlike modern government contracting, where large firms profit from infrastructure, logistics, and administrative projects that follow military expansion; in [[Thomas Moore#The Washington Poem|''"the second Rome"'']] a prime example could be [[Halliburton]]. In Rome’s case, new roads, mines, military installations, postal systems, and markets generated lucrative contracts, and Crassus—who financed and coordinated the publicani syndicates—profited from each one. The comparison is only illustrative, but it helps modern readers understand why Crassus had a strong interest in Caesar receiving a frontier command likely to produce sustained activity.<br />
<br />
With the expanded ''lex Vatinia'' in place, Caesar left Rome with unprecedented authority: multiple legions, a unified Triumvirate behind him, and a vast frontier province whose instability would soon justify military intervention. This command became the foundation of his later conquests—and ultimately his rise to unmatched power.<br />
<br />
===Solidification by Marriage===<br />
A crucial element in stabilising the [[First Triumvirate]] during Caesar’s consulship was the creation of a network of family alliances that bound the three men together more securely than political agreements alone could achieve. Caesar understood that Roman politics rested not merely on legislation and patronage, but on the personal ties created through marriage, which carried immense social and emotional weight among the aristocracy.<br />
<br />
Earlier in the year Caesar arranged the betrothal of Crassus’ son, [[Publius Licinius Crassus]], to the daughter of [[Mucia Tertia]] from her earlier marriage. Although this step-daughter had once been part of [[Pompey|Pompey’s]] household during his marriage to Mucia, she was not Pompey’s biological child, and the match created no personal difficulty for him. The marriage strengthened Crassus’ aristocratic standing and linked him socially to Pompey’s circle, reinforcing unity within the Triumvirate.<br />
<br />
Caesar then completed the most important alliance of all: the marriage of his own daughter [[Julia (daughter of Julius Caesar)|Julia]] to [[Pompey]]. The betrothal was arranged during the consulship, but the marriage itself was finalised as Caesar prepared to depart for his provincial command. Unlike Pompey’s earlier marriage to [[Mucia Tertia]], which had been politically useful but emotionally indifferent, [[Pompey]] apparently genuinely loved Julia, and ancient writers emphasise the affection and harmony of their union. This personal bond transformed the political partnership between Caesar and [[Pompey]] into a family alliance, greatly strengthening the cohesion of the [[First Triumvirate|Triumvirate]].<br />
<br />
Through these marriages Caesar ensured that the members of the Triumvirate were bound together by personal ties as well as political interests. Although only Pompey and Caesar became true kin through Julia’s marriage, the additional match between Crassus’ son and Mucia’s daughter linked Crassus socially to Pompey’s former household and reinforced the cooperative spirit of the alliance. These arrangements made political defection more costly and helped stabilise the Triumvirate during the conclusion of a year of intense conflict. By the end of his consulship Caesar had secured the ongoing support of both Pompey and Crassus, enabling him to depart for his proconsulship in Gaul with the backing of the two most powerful men in the Republic.<br />
<br />
===Summary of the Consulship of 59 BC===<br />
Caesar’s consulship of 59 BC was one of the most consequential in the history of the late Republic. Through the agrarian law, the grain law, through [[Marcus Licinius Crassus|Crassus']] financial measures, Caesar's judicial reforms, and anti‑corruption legislation, there was a sweeping programme that satisfied the interests of all three members of the [[First Triumvirate]] while simultaneously increasing his popularity among the Roman people. His reliance on popular support and organised street pressure, combined with [[Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus|Bibulus'’]] withdrawal from public life, gave Caesar effective sole control of the magistracy of the [[Consul]]ship and deepened senatorial resentment.<br />
<br />
The year also saw the consolidation of the [[First Triumvirate]] through marriage alliances, most notably the union of [[Julia (daughter of Julius Caesar|Julia]] and [[Pompey]], which transformed a political partnership into a personal bond. By its end, Caesar had secured the ratification of Pompey’s eastern settlements, rescued the equestrian tax‑farmers, strengthened [[Marcus Licinius Crassus|Crassus']] influence, and passed the ''lex Vatinia'', granting him a powerful provincial command in [[Gaul]].<br />
<br />
Caesar left Rome at the close of his consulship with unprecedented political backing, a unified [[First Triumvirate|Triumbirate]], and a military command that would soon make him the most formidable figure in the Republic. The events of 59 BC laid the foundations for his later conquests, the breakdown of senatorial authority, and ultimately the [[Caesar's Civil War|civil war]] that reshaped Roman history.<br />
<br />
==Proconsulship in Gaul (58–50 BC)==<br />
===Appointment and Departure from Rome===<br />
At the conclusion of his [[consul]]ship, Caesar departed [[Rome]] to assume the provincial command granted to him under the ''lex Vatinia''. The law assigned him [[Cisalpine Gaul]] and [[Illyricum]] for five years, an unusually long term that gave him both stability and independence from senatorial interference. Shortly after his departure, the [[Senate]]—under pressure from [[Pompey]] and [[Crassus]]—added [[Transalpine Gaul]] to his authority, vastly expanding the scope of his command and placing him in control of one of the most strategically important regions of the Republic.<br />
<br />
Caesar’s command included three legions, later increased to four, and eventually far more as the Gallic campaigns unfolded. His imperium was independent, meaning he could act without direct senatorial oversight, and his extended term ensured that he would not be recalled prematurely by hostile political factions. This arrangement alarmed the conservative aristocracy, who viewed Caesar’s growing military power as a threat to the Republic’s constitutional balance.<br />
<br />
The [[First Triumvirate|Triumbirate]], however, fully supported Caesar’s appointment. [[Pompey’s]] marriage to [[Julia (the daughter of Julius Caesar)|Julia]] ensured his loyalty, while Crassus’ financial interests aligned with Caesar’s success. With both men backing him, Caesar left Rome with a unified political base, a secure command, and the opportunity to achieve military glory. His departure marked the beginning of a decade‑long proconsulship that would transform him from a political operator into the most celebrated general of his age.<br />
<br />
<br />
==WORK IN PROGRESS / REDUNDANT==. <br />
<br />
Julius Caesar then made himself the provincial ruler (proconsul) of [[Gaul]] (modern-day [[France]]). He conquered vast amounts of territory for Rome and, while fighting abroad, sent written reports back to Rome of the victories he was winning to sustain his popularity and to ensure that the people did not forget him. Back in Rome, Julius Caesar’s plan was working, and Pompey became increasingly jealous (by this time, Crassus had died in battle). Pompey, with the support of the [[Roman Senate|Senate]], objected to Julius Caesar’s actions and ordered him to disband his army and return to Rome. He refused, and in an act of direct defiance to the Senate, led his loyal troops across the Rubicon River to Rome and conquered it in 49 B. C. The expression, “crossing the Rubicon” is used today to describe an act from which there is no turning back. Julius Caesar went on to defeat Pompey at the [[Battle of Pharsalus]] in 48 B.C. This left Julius Caesar firmly in control of Rome, and he then took his veteran army on campaigns in [[Egypt]] (where he installed ally [[Cleopatra]] as queen), Asia Minor, [[Africa]] and [[Spain]] before returning to Rome again in 45 B.C. Rome ruled much of the Western civilized world as result of these military campaigns. It is interesting to note that Caesar did not start his string of incredible military victories until he was well into middle age. The Roman Senate appointed Julius Caesar as dictator for life in 46 B.C.<br />
<br />
==Later Career and Death==<br />

The [[Roman Senate]] was less than pleased with Caesar's actions as dictator. In a conspiracy famously recounted in [[Shakespeare]]’s play “Julius Caesar,” [[Cassius]] and [[Brutus]] and up to 60 others agreed to stab and kill Julius Caesar when he entered the Senate on the “Ides of March” (March 15, 44 B.C.). After he died, Rome fell into chaos for 13 years as rivals strove for power. Julius Caesar had named his 18-year-old grandnephew, [[Gaius Octavius]], to be his heir. Gaius Octavius also intended to inherit his adopted father's political power. Others wanted [[Mark Antony]]. Cassius and Brutus also had armies of their own. First a triumvirate of Octavian, Antony and Lepidus defeated the armies of Cassius and Brutus, and that ended the republican rule by the Senate. Octavius went on in history to become Augustus, the first Roman Emperor.<br />

adopted later by a [[pope]] and used to this day. Julius Caesar also granted religious rights to the [[Jews]] in [[Palestine]], so that the Jewish religion could be practice outside the requirements of Roman religious law. An uneasy practice of the Jewish faith thus continued in the Roman empire up to and through the time of [[Christ]]. Julius Caesar, as all Roman generals, campaigned strenuously on behalf of his veterans, in particular with regards to the gifting of land. Roman culture flourished in the struggles during the lifetime of Julius Caesar, and those which followed his assassination. <br />

The purpose of this translation is for readers to understand the methods in which the [[Nazi]] [[propaganda]] machine would seek to dehumanize the victims of its [[genocidal]] actions.

'''Russophobia''' is an inordinate or [[irrational]] fear, [[hatred]], aversion, negative sentiment, [[prejudice]] or derision of anything Russian and the people of Russia, to include their language, [[society]] and culture. Russophobia, along with [[anti-Semitism]], [[historical]]ly has been a major impediment to world [[peace]].<br />
<br />
Russophobia is commonly used as a scare tactic to achieve [[political]] ends. For example, in [[Nazi]] [[propaganda]] prior to and during [[World War II]] to support Nazi [[racial]] theories. Much of the same [[rhetoric]] was recycled by [[the West]] during the [[Cold War]]. And more recently by [[neocon]] [[fascist]]s, the [[Deep State]], the [[Democratic party]] and [[mainstream media]] to attack [[Donald Trump]] during the [[Russiagate hoax]], the two [[Trump administration]]s, the [[Impeachment 1.0|first Trump impeachment]], the [[2016 Presidential election|2016]], [[2020 Presidential election|2020]] and [[2024 presidential election]]s, and the [[NATO war in Ukraine]]. See [[Trump impeachment 1.0]] and [[Russiagate]]. <br />
<br />
Russophobia has been referred to as ultra [[liberalism]].<ref>https://russialist.org/dmitry-babich-my-answer-to-sean-guillory-re-russian-studies/</ref> [[French]] [[philosopher]] [[Emmanuel Todd]] has said "It is highly educated men and women, [[moral]]ly and [[intellect]]ually stunted by the absence of [[religion]], who are, en masse, carriers of Russophobic [[pathology]]".<ref>https://substack.com/inbox/post/176522394</ref> In [[Western civilization|Western societies]] in the early 21st century, Russophobia became [[policy]] and an officially acceptable form of [[racism]] and ethnic hatred promoted by the [[Biden regime]], [[NATO]],<ref>[https://youtu.be/FFA4TMEAsJk Ukrainian in a German WWII helmet with the emblem of the SS division]. [[NATO invasion of Kursk|Kursk region Russia]]. Other Russians, Aug 15, 2024. [[YouTube]]. ''Dialogue between [[Ukrainian Nazi|Ukrainian]] occupiers, one of whom is wearing a [[German]] ([[World War II]]) helmet with the [[SS]] emblem. An old man complains that he got lost and slept in the rain, but in response he is mocked. Speaks in German manner. - "Hey, Russian Ivan, you bitches have all lost your way in life, ya-ya, go drink vodka!"'' evoking a nightmarish scenario portrayed in many post-World War II films. 27 million Russian were killed in the [[Operation Barbarossa|NAZI invasion of Russia]],</ref> the [[European Union]].<ref>[https://youtu.be/XWJ0rr6AtU4 Russophobia: the Last Acceptable Form of Racism], The Real Politick with [[Mark Sleboda]], Aug 29, 2022. [[YouTube]].</ref> and [[Western civilization|Western]] [[mainstream media]] closely linked to Western [[intelligence agencies]]. Due to the reborn [[Russian Federation]] having refound its [[Christian Orthodox]] faith and outlawing the [[LGBT]] and [[homosexual agenda]], Russophobia became a tactic of Western [[elitism|elites]], [[woke]]sters, [[globalist]]s, and [[neocon]]s. <br />
<br />
Since the collapse of [[leftwing]] [[communism]] of the former [[Soviet Union]] in 1991, the Russian people and [[government]]'s embrace of [[capitalism]], [[free speech]], [[democracy]] and reawakening of the [[Orthodox Church|Orthodox Christian faith]] in the [[Russian world]], [[leftist]]s and [[atheist]]s in the United States and [[Western Europe]] have become openly and extremely hostile against anything Russian, the people, [[society]], [[language]], [[media]], [[history]], traditions and [[culture]]. Some [[conservative]]s and traditional conservative media fell prey to the Russophobic plague. Even the [[Ku Klux Klan]], like their [[Nazi]] brethren and other [[white supremacist]] groups have also [[discrimination|discriminate]]d against Russians and other [[Slav]]s. [[German]] [[journalist]] [[Patrick Baab]] wrote, "[[NATO]] [[political]] [[elitism|elites]] intend to cut all personal relations between [[Western civilization|Western]] and [[Russian]] people. Every [[human]] contact must be destroyed so that the [[propaganda]], the [[warmonger]]ing and all the russophobia spread by [[MSM|Western media]] can find an easier way into the hearts and minds of the Western [[population]]. Nobody should be allowed to learn that Russians are just as [[peace]]-loving people like we are."<ref>https://forumgeopolitica.com/article/never-come-peace</ref><br />
<br />
The Russian people never [[democracy|democratically]] voted for communists to lead their country; many [[racist]]s and [[bigot]]s mistakenly associate the Russian people and culture with the [[leftwing]] [[communist]] oppression imposed on the Russian people for 70 years, with no democratic rights, rampant censorship, and [[political correctness]]. Aside from the people of [[China]], the Russian people constitute the second largest group as victims of communism.<br />
<br />
==Russophobia and anti-Semitism vs anti-communism==<br />
[[File:Volodymyr Zelensky, Justin Trudeau, and Chrystia Freeland applaud Yaroslav Hunka of the Waffen SS Galicia Division during a session of the Canadian Parliament September 24 2023.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Ukrainian dictator [[Volodymyr Zelensky]], Canadian dictator [[Justin Trudeau#Support for Nazism|Justin Trudeau]], and outspoken Canadian [[Nazi]] [[Chrystia Freeland]] applaud Yaroslav Hunka of the murderous and criminal [[Waffen SS Galicia Division]] during a session of the Canadian Parliament, September 24, 2023.]]<br />
Russophobia should not be confused with [[Anti-Communist|anti-Communism]], as critics of [[Sen. Joseph McCarthy]] often mistakenly do. The Russian people themselves constituted the largest group of victims of [[Communism]] from the earliest days after the [[October Revolution]]. As [[Alexander Solzhenitsyn]] said, the communists stole the Russian people's earlier [[February Revolution]] in the ensuing chaos following the fall of the [[Romanov Monarchy]]. The Russian people suffered much and where denied freedom and the right of [[self-determination]] by the Communists for more than 70 years. <br />
<br />
Likewise, anti-communism should not be confused with [[anti-Semitism]] as many [[conservative]] demagogues and [[bigot]]s are wont to do.<br />
<br />
Russians have also faced discrimination by many of the same people who also target other Slavic people such as Serbs, Slovenes, Croats, Bulgarians, Ukrainians, Poles, Czechs, and Slovaks. Russophobia often falls under a broader category called “Slavophobia”. <br />
<br />
With the collapse of the [[leftist]]-controlled [[Soviet Union]], which severely oppressed [[Christianity]] and espoused [[multiculturalism|multicultural diversity]], 70 years of [[human rights]] abuses were thrown off and a [[religious]] revival took place. In modern democratic Russia, laws, cultural norms, and public opinion have kept [[homosexuality]] illegal. Russia, its leaders, and Russian cultural traditions have become, since the [[Obama administration]], a favorite scapegoat and punching bag for everything evil on the planet by activists of the [[homosexual agenda]].<br />
<br />
C.B. Forde, writing in ''The Postil Magazine'', described modern Russophobia in the 21st century during the [[NATO war in Ukraine]]: "What we are really witnessing is the barking of [[violent]] rhetoric, all justified by blurting out “Ukraine.” In other words, all manner of [[hatred]] can now be concealed by the “[[morality]]” of supporting Ukraine. This violence has become a habit of mind among all the [[Canadian]] and [[Western alliance|Western ruling]] [[elitism|elite]]—enthusiastically repeated by [[Justin Trudeau#Support for Nazism|Trudeau]], as this speech bears witness. This is why the members of the Canadian Parliament all stood, cheered and applauded the Nazi visiting them in House of Commons."<ref>[https://www.thepostil.com/justin-trudeau-and-the-banderites/ Justin Trudeau and the Banderites], C.B.

Former [[INF Treaty]] weapons inspector [[Scott Ritter]] said in an interview with Konstantin Yaroshenko:<br />

Despite the German and Russian people having a long history of living close by and being natural allies to each other's [[economic]] benefit, there has existed in German culture a long [[history]] of prejudice against people with [[Slavic]] roots. Adolf Hitler, writing in ''Mein Kampf'' about his teen years in 1903 noted: "When the [[Russo-Japanese War]] came I was older and better able to judge for myself. For national reasons I then took the side of the [[Japanese]] in our discussions. I looked upon the defeat of the Russians as a blow to Russian Slavdom."<ref>Adolf Hitler, 'Mein Kampf'', Volume 1, Chapter 5. (Ralph Manheim translation).</ref><br />
<br />
The [[German]] Interior Ministry declared on March 28, 2022, that any individual who displays the letter “Z” would be liable for prosecution. The letter was displayed on Russian military vehicles during [[Operation Denazification]] that began on February 24, 2022.<ref>https://www.npr.org/2022/03/28/1089229499/german-states-outlaw-z</ref><br />

==Ukraine==<br />
<br />
Ukraine has the world's only national Constitution that includes genetic (or ‘racial’) purity as a responsibility of the Government to protect and maintain. Article 16 of Ukraine Constitution says "to preserve the genetic heritage of the Ukrainian people is the responsibility of the state."<ref>https://constituteproject.org/constitution/Ukraine_2019.pdf</ref><br />
The cultural and domestic godfather of Ukrainian nationalism was Taras Shevchenko. This writer essentially formed the main line of Ukrainian nationalist ideology - Russophobia, elevated to the state level, to the level of the leading and prime ideology. A successor of such ideas was the ideologist of the [[OUNb]], [[Dmytro Dontsov]], called the dissolution of the personality of the "Ukrainian" in the nationalist ideology and collective consciousness of the nationalist movement "a great self-dedication to the idea." His works had a huge impact on the subsequent ideologists of Ukrainian Nazism, [[Shukhevych]] and Bandera. Dontsov, who, on the basis of the works of [[Hitler]] and [[Mussolini]], developed the concept that Ukrainians differ from Russians not only in ethnic, cultural and linguistic ways, but also in racial characteristics. <br />

On February 22, 2014, V. Yavorivsky, a member of the Batkivshchyna faction, introduced in Ukraine's [[Verkhovna Rada]] draft legislation proposing that standards of accountability for expressing personal opinions on Fascist crimes be abolished. Within days after the anti-democratic seizure of power, the provisional Maidan parliament passed legislation that declared Russian speakers no longer have equal rights with Ukrainians, legalizing [[discrimination]] against Russians. On February 24, 2014, in Zaporozhye, four extremists attempted to burn down a [[synagogue]]. On March 11, 2014, a bill was introduced in parliament by the Svoboda party proposing a 7-year sentence for speaking Russian in government offices and public places in Ukraine.<br />
<br />
In March 2014 Y. Perebiynis, head of the Information Policy Department of Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that Russians are not an indigenous people of Ukraine and therefore do not have the right to [[self-determination]] on Ukrainian territory. He also said that in Ukraine there are only four indigenous peoples: Ukrainians, Crimean Tatars, Crimean Karaites and Krymchaks. Ethnic [[Czech]]s living in [[Volyn]] and Zhytomyr provinces (there is an estimated 10,000 and 20,000 Czechs live in Ukraine) appealed to the government of the [[Czech Republic]] for repatriation. Chair of the Society of Volyn Czechs E. Snidevich said, "We fear for our lives. There are bandits who call themselves ‘self-defense units.’ Nothing good will come of this."<br />
<br />
Beginning on March 20, 2014, Russians living in Ukraine started to complain ''en masse'' to the Consulate General of Russia in [[Kharkiv]] about pressure from Maidan authorities who demanded that they formalize their renunciation of Russian citizenship or leave Ukraine.<br />

In March 2022 the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance, a governmental entity, published in both Russian and English a series of arguments claiming Ukrainians are pureblood [[Slavs]], while the Russian nation was formed through race mixing with Asiatic tribes, "the Ugro-Finnish tribes: Muroma, Mernia, Wes, Meshchera, Moksha, Perm, Narova, and others,” it stated. The difference apparently is “visible to the naked eye”. Despite the common language, alphabet, history, society, culture, and literary traditions, the Institute denies that Ukrainians and Russians are "fraternal brothers," and states that Ukrainians are European, unlike "russian nomads" (spelled with a lower case "r". Several cabinet ministers in the Zelensky regime make a habit of always spelling "Russia" with a lower case "r".)<br />
<br />
In an interview with the Kyiv-based Interfax news agency in late May 2022, Oleksandra Koval, director of the Ukrainian Book Institute (UBI) which is part of the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine, estimated that more than 100 million copies of Russian language books would be removed from Ukrainian public libraries, fully half of all libraries’ holdings.<ref>https://thesaker.is/ukrainian-government-plans-book-banning-on-massive-scale/</ref> The city council of Nikolaev banned the teaching of the Russian language in schools.<ref>https://europe-cities.com/2022/06/18/the-authorities-of-nikolaev-banned-the-russian-language-at-school-from-september-1/</ref> The Ukrainian parliament passed a bill to ban Russian-language music.<ref>https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-to-ban-russian-music-culture/31905236.html</ref><ref>https://tass.com/world/1388729</ref><br />
<br />
Secretary of the Security Council Alexei Danilov said on the air of the NTA TV channel that the Russian language must be completely eradicated on the territory of Ukraine. According to Danilov, the Russian language is allegedly hostile to Ukrainians, so it has no place in this country. "The Russian language in general should disappear from our territory as an element of hostile propaganda and brainwashing of our population," Danilov said on a national talk show.<ref>https://en.news-front.info/2022/10/21/national-security-and-defense-council-of-ukraine-the-russian-language-must-disappear/</ref> Danilov claimed that the "narrative" about the need to reach mutual understanding with Russian-speaking Ukrainians is highly dangerous for the state. "To plant these Russian narratives here is a very, very dangerous thing. Presumably, we have to understand each other, who they are, what they are. Look, we don’t want anything from them [Russians]. Why don’t they leave us alone? Let them go to their swamps and croak in the Russian language,” he stated. <br />
[[File:Targeted sanctions.jpg|left|300px|thumb|The current spate of Russophobia in the [[United States]] began when [[Vladimir Putin]] thwarted [[NATO]]'s plan to seize the [[Sevastopol]] Naval Base by [[Crimean Annexation|annexing Crimea]], committing the unpardonable sin of embarrassing [[Barack Obama]].]]<br />
Danilov complained about a large number of Ukrainian political experts who regularly appear on television using Russian as the main language. In response to this, the show host proposed to create and broadcast a list of Ukrainian public figures that speak Russian. He also said that the state-owned Ukrainian channel Freedom will abandon the Russian language and start broadcasting in English. “I would like to draw your attention to something else – we have a lot of experts who go from channel to channel and use Russian as the main language of their communication. Moreover, they are rated in some studies, they claim, they say that they will go to the president, somewhere else. Look, the Russian language should disappear from our territories altogether as an element of enemy propaganda and brainwashing for our population,” Danilov added.<br />

It was one of the reasons I decided to leave [[Ukraine]] soon after Russia invaded. Because the daily contempt, harassment, and dehumanization directed at Russian-speaking Ukrainians had become unbearable—and war did not create that ugliness so much as give it [[moral]] permission to flourish.<ref>https://martahavryshko.substack.com/p/to-die-for-ukraine-but-only-in-ukrainian</ref>}}<br />
In October 2022 it was reported that Ukrainian nationalists tore down statues of Hungarian historic figures. Ukraine sperm banks advertised specimens from "pure blood' Ukrainians.<br />

According to the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Ukraine, which never existed prior to 1918, first applied to join the European Union in 988 A.D. ([[Anno Domini]]).<ref>https://youtu.be/6ryrNQibEGo?t=1378</ref> The European Union, which was founded as a coal and steel consortium in 1957, did not adopt the name "European Union" until 1992 A.D. after going through a series of other name changes.<br />

Russophobia often employs the politics of fear and [[demonization]]. For example, Congressman [[Adam Schiff]] made this statement about the [[fake news]] "Russian hacking" probe,<br />
:"I think of a spider web, with a tarantula in the middle. And the tarantula, in my view, is [[Vladimir Putin]], who is entrapping many people to do his bidding and to engage with him. And I would include those like [[Roger Stone]] and [[Carter Page]] and [[Michael Caputo]] and [[Wilbur Ross]] and [[Paul Manafort]] and [[Rex Tillerson]]."<ref>https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-03-21/why-the-comey-hearing-was-frightening-to-a-russian</ref><br />

A photo taken of Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chyrstia Freeland at an anti-Russian rally caught her holding a red and black scarf representative of the [[Bandera]] movement, a Ukrainian nationalist pro-Nazi group. Freeland posted the photo with the scarf to [[social media]]. The rally Freeland attended in [[Toronto]] also had red and black flags waving. Red and black have historically represented the Bandera movement, which was started by [[Stepan Bandera]], a Ukrainian politician during World War II who was accused of Nazi [[war crimes]] against [[Jewish]] and [[Polish]] people. Red and black represent the Nazi idea of "blood and soil." An iPolitics profile piece on Freeland mentioned Bandera and noted her Ukrainian heritage and influence in Canadian policy against Russia, “inspired by pro-Bandera lobbyists.”<ref>https://ipolitics.ca/2017/01/11/why-freeland-might-be-the-right-person-to-handle-russia/</ref> Russian President [[Vladimir Putin]] said one goal of the Ukrainian special operation was to “de-Nazify” Ukraine. The ''True North'' reported Freeland's photo justifies Putin's claim.<ref>https://tnc.news/2022/02/28/freeland-caught-holding-pro-nazi-banner-at-ukraine-protest/</ref> Freeland's grandfather was a Nazi collaborator against the Russians during [[World War II]].<br />

Gennadiy Druzenko, a Fulbright-Kennan Institute Research Scholar at the Kennan Institute and fellow at the Wilson Center in [[Washington, D.C.]],<ref>https://www.wilsoncenter.org/person/gennadiy-druzenko</ref> head of the Center for Constitutional Design,<ref>https://ccd.group/en/team/gennadiy-druzenko/</ref> a former researcher at the Center for Constitutional Democracy at Indiana University, and served as the Government Commissioner for Ethno-National Policy in the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine<ref>https://independent.academia.edu/GennadiyDruzenko/CurriculumVitae</ref> who now operates a war-zone mobile hospital in eastern Ukraine told a Ukrainian Channel 24 TV interviewer that he had instructed his doctors to castrate captured Russian POWs. Druzenko said: <br />
{{quotebox-float|"I have always been a great humanist and said that if a man is wounded, he is no longer an enemy but a patient. But now [I gave] very strict orders to castrate all [captured Russian] men, because they are cockroaches, not people."<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10636597/Ukrainian-doctor-tells-TV-interviewer-ordered-staff-CASTRATE-Russian-soldiers.html</ref>}}<br />
Since 2014 when the Kyiv regime initiated the Donbas war against Russian civilians, some 500 doctors have worked with Druzenko's mobile hospital.<br />
<br />
On March 27, 2022, very disturbing videos emerged of mistreatment of Russian POWs by Armed Forces of Ukraine. One video shows Russian soldiers with canvas bags over their heads and then beaten in the face with rifle butts. The prisoners are shot in the kneecaps and genitals, and they are left on the ground to bleed to death. Several vans then arrive at the Ukraine military compound in Kharkiv, and as each POW is removed from the van they are shot in the knees. A second video shows Russian POW's lying face down in a paved courtyard, or compound, and then being shot in the knees from the rear.<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/03/27/zelenskyy-worried-about-western-financial-support-after-video-surfaces-showing-ukraine-military-torturing-russian-pows/</ref><br />

This myth was cultivated by [[Banderite]]s in order to endear themselves to the Nazis (it never worked, as the Nazis rightly knew them to be only [[Slav]]s, while the Ukrainians went overboard to show assumed “Germanic” kinship, especially when it came to brutality, which often astonished even the Nazis)."

In preparation for the Dutch general election in November 2006, the VVD held an election for their new party-leader which was elected by the party members, Rutte opposed it to the at that moment favourite Rita Verdonk (which leaved the party in 2007), Rutte has won this election.<ref>http://www.expatica.com/nl/news/Contradictory-polls-in-Verdonk-Rutte-contest_136708.html</ref><br />
<br />
==Prime Minister==<br />
<br />
After the Dutch general election in June 2010, the VVD wins 31 seats, and Rutte becomes Prime Minister of the Netherlands on October 14, 2010, the formed government existed of his party, the CDA a Christian democratic party and tolerated by the [[Party for Freedom]] of [[Geert Wilders]]. The policies were strong on immigration, tackling the rising unemployment, and had a roughly opposition from the [[Mainstream media]] and leftist parties, because of the participation of Party for Freedom, which is also blamed for the failing negotiation between the coalition partners for the budget of the next year.<br />
<br />
After the collapse of this government on April 23, 2012 in due to the failed negotiations about the reforms and budget for 2013, elections were held again in September 2012, where Rutte's party wins again followed by the socialist Labor Party, they have formed a cabinet for four years and can be known as an government with dramatically policies towards open borders, more support for the socialist [[European Union]], more corruption within both parties<ref>http://www.krapuul.nl/politiek-blog/2629872/vvd-opnieuw-koploper-in-misdaad-en-corruptie/</ref> and ongoing immigration, like other nations in Western Europe.<br />
<br />
==NATO warlord==<br />
One week on the job after being appointed by American [[socialist]] premier [[Joe Biden]], unelected Ukrainian [[dictator]] [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] renamed the "Heroes of Sevastopol Street" in [[Kiev]], named for the soldiers who defeated [[Nazi Germany]] to now honor the [[globalist]] and [[fascist]] head of NATO as "Mark Rutte Street".<ref>https://t.me/myLordBebo/47519</ref><br />
<br />
In a press conference, Rutte was asked:<br />
<br />
'''Reporter:''' Let's imagine that [[negotiation]]s fail, both sides continue to fight, and the [[US]] stops supplying [[Ukraine]] with [[weapon]]s, even for [[money]]. Do you have a Plan B for this scenario?<br />
<br />
'''Rutte:''' Well, I don't... No.<ref>https://t.me/Slavyangrad/149550</ref><br />
<br />
According to Rutte, a [[dog]] told him in [[Ukraine]], "We will never give up."<ref>https://www.facebook.com/ukrnewsfeed/posts/i-looked-into-the-eyes-of-the-dog-patron-and-he-told-me-we-will-never-give-up-ma/122158443038654935/</ref><br />

<div>'''George Carlin''' (May 12, 1937 – June 22, 2008) was an satirist and stand-up comedian in the tradition of Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor. He appeared on TV and had several small parts in movies. He was an [[agnosticism|agnostic]]/[[atheism|atheist]] (see: [[Celebrity atheists]]).<br />
<br />
Many of his jokes poke fun at peculiarities of English language:<br />
*Why is it that night falls but day breaks? <br />
*Why is the third hand on the watch called a second hand? <br />
<br />
He skewered all sorts of absurdities in American life:<br />
*And why do they lock the public bathrooms at gas stations? Are they afraid that someone will clean them?<ref>http://www.georgecarlin.com/home/home.html</ref><br />
<br />
Carlin was very vulgar in his comedy, mocking what he disagreed with in an audacious way that people often took offense to.<br />
<br />
==Controversy==<br />
George Carlin has been a long-standing testament to the countercultural revolution of the '60s and '70s and was no stranger to controversy.<br />
<br />
In 1973, he was arrested after a show in [[Oregon]] on obscenity charges after his routine "The 7 Dirty Words (You Can't Say On TV Or Radio)" was played uncensored on the radio. The case created a stir on definitions of indecency and the restrictions by the [[FCC]].<br />
<br />
Carlin was also an outspoken [[atheist]], and virulently anti-[[Christian]] and anti-establishment.<br />
<br />
He blamed the October 2007 wildfires in [[Los Angeles]] County on the people, saying that they "invaded the habitat, and are getting theirs."<br />
<br />
He also criticized global warming and [[environmentalism]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbFD4NC60EA&feature=PlayList&p=2F9495B0767D5C71&index=59</ref><br />
<br />
==Quotes==<br />
*"Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man, living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of 10 things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these 10 things, he has a special place full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish where he will send *you* to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever til the end of time...but he loves you."<ref>http://netscientia.com/god_spell.html</ref><br />
<br />
*"Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvF1Q3UidWM</ref><br />
<br />
==Death==<br />
<br />
Carlin passed away on June 22, 2008, as a result of heart failure. He was 71.<br />
<br />
His [[memoir]] ''Last Words'' (written with Tony Hendra) was published in November 2009.<br />

The '''North Atlantic Treaty Organization''' ('''NATO''', ''French:'' '''OTAN''', ''Russian:'' '''HATO''') is a [[military]] alliance consisting of the [[United States]] and 31 [[vassal state]]s also known as the '''[[US]]+'''. It was founded by 12 countries after [[World War II]], on April 4, 1949, to counter the [[communist]] [[Soviet Union]]. NATO is the only military alliance that stations [[nuclear weapon]]s on non-nuclear nations' territory. [[Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.]] has referred to the NATO as a "[[CIA]] subsidiary."<ref>The CIA is reputed to have murdered both Robert Kennedy's father [[RFK Sr.]], and his uncle, [[President John F. Kennedy]] for the purpose of involving the United States and the [[American]] people in the [[perpetual war]] in [[Vietnam]], which both Kennedy's opposed.</ref><br />
<br />
''The New York Times'' misunderstood NATO's history and purpose as illustrated by its headline gaffe on April 3, 2026: "A North American Treaty Organization Without America?"<ref>https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/fact-check-york-times-did-032640330.html</ref> The ''NYT'' headline should have referred to NATO as the "North Atlantic Treaty Organization," without being snarky, and the ''NYT'' subsequently published a correction.<br />
<br />
Like all military alliances, NATO was built to protect an economic alliance or trading bloc - in this case what came to be known as the post-1945 [[EU|European Free Trade Zone]], and later on [[NAFTA]]. Largely a [[bureaucracy]], there is no [[democracy|democratically]]-elected [[parliament]] to oversee NATO's [[weapon]]'s and [[money laundering]] schemes. In the post-[[Cold War]] period is it has been referred to as "a jobs program for white guys."<br />
<br />
NATO has bloated to 32 member countries as of 2024, more than 30 years after the Soviet Union dissolved. Despite calling itself a "defensive alliance", NATO has never fought a defensive war. NATO has engaged in [[wars of aggression]], violating the territorial integrity, attacking and invading multiple [[sovereign]] states.<br />
<br />
Since 1991 NATO has become a promoter of [[globalism]],<ref>Multiple references:<br />

<br />
To join the alliance, NATO members essentially cede their [[foreign policy]] [[sovereignty]] to the [[Leftist]] [[Deep State]] in [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]] and [[London]], and become vassal states on [[immigration]], [[gay parade]]s, and priorities of [[liberal]]s. NATO's current secretary is [[Jens Stoltenberg]] of [[Norway]].<br />
<br />
The fact that the North Atlantic Alliance now wants to become involved in the Western Pacific is a clear violation of its own statutes. The preamble states: “The Parties to this Treaty reaffirm their faith in the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and their desire to live in peace with all peoples and governments… They are determined to promote internal strength and welfare in the North Atlantic area.”<br />
<br />
Under NATO doctrine, while any member state can commit aggressive acts of war against a nonmember, if the nonmember retaliates against the NATO member's territory, the nonmember risks war with all members of the alliance. Additionally, some nonmember states have been equipped with weapons and training to wage war as if they were member states. No provisions have ever been articulated for member states that go to war with each other.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
{{See also|History of NATO}}<br />
<br />
NATO was created at the behest of the [[United Kingdom]] to bypass deeply rooted American anti-[[intervention]]ist sentiment to enter a war without an Act of Congress, under the guise of "an attack against one is an attack against all." The [[UK]] had to wait almost 3 years during [[World War I]] and more than two years during [[World War II]] for the United States to bail out the [[British Empire]] of its wars with [[Germany]].<br />
[[File:Nazi Nato.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Growth of Western fascism.]]<br />
Specifically, NATO was created in 1947 allegedly to contain the expansion of [[single party state|single party]] leftwing Soviet [[Communism]]. But since the collapse of [[communism]] in Russia, NATO is globalism without a valid purpose. Unlike Germany which gained entrance two years after its founding, increasingly [[conservative]] Russia has been systematically denied membership in all European collective security arrangements. Soviet media often referred to NATO as the "Fourth Reich", a popular perception that was reborn in the post-Soviet era with the bad faith and [[duplicity]] exhibited by [[the West]] regarding security guarantees granted to the Russian Federation upon dissolution of the Soviet Union and NATO encroachment on Russian Federation borders.<br />
<br />
NATO originally was not part of President [[Franklin Roosevelt]]'s 'Grand Design' for the post-[[World War II]] era, which included the [[United Nations]] and the [[International Monetary Fund]]. Roosevelt's original intention was to institutionalize the military alliance of the Big Three - the United States, the [[British Empire]], and [[Russia]] - to keep the peace after the defeat of the [[Axis Powers]]. The failure of Soviet-communist-occupied countries to adhere to the right of [[self-determination]] and hold elections caused the [[Angelo-American alliance]] to dust off the 1941 [[Atlantic Charter]] and formalize it into a treaty organization. By 1950, the United Nations was at war with itself, where the UN [[Security Council]] voted to send "UN troops" to combat the Soviet-backed [[North Korean]] regime, a Resolution the Soviet Union could have easily [[vetoed]].<br />
[[File:Nato history.jpg|left|300px|thumb]]<br />
The NATO alliance is in no way a military adjunct arm of the UN Security Council, which [[progressive]]s in government and [[fake news]] media attempted to create the illusion during the [[Obama administration]]'s [[Libyan War]]. NATO was created to defend Europe, not to wage offensive war in [[Africa]].<br />
<br />
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was established after the failure of the United Nations Organization to bring about democratic elections and "self determination of peoples" in [[Eastern Europe]] shortly after [[World War II]] in 1949. The original members consisted of ten European countries, the United States, and [[Canada]]. These countries formed the alliance to further the goal of security in the North Atlantic region, and they did this by ingraining the principal that an attack against one member would be considered an attack against all. Therefore, all would respond with support to the attacked nation. The first secretary-general of NATO, Lord Ismay, once quipped, NATO's purpose in Europe was “to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down."<br />
[[File:Cost per death.png|right|300px|thumb|‘Value for Money’: How to kill 625,000 people for just $0.29 cost per death.]]<br />
NATO was created to short-circuit the delays the United States endured from domestic non-interventionists in entering two world wars on behalf of Great Britain. Should Britain perceive an attack again in the future, either from Germany or the Soviet Union, America would immediately be involved without any Congressional debate or public opinion polling. This is where the concept of "an attack against one is an attack against all" originated. Some critics quipped it effectively made Great Britain the 51st state.<br />
<br />
In 1952 NATO began its first round of enlargement of the early alliance's history, letting in [[Greece]] and [[Turkey]]. However, this was the first time NATO had admitted two bitter rivals to the Alliance, who almost went to war with each other in 1974 over a failed Greek-backed coup in [[Cyprus]].<br />
<br />
In 1982 the [[Falklands War]] presented a special problem for NATO. When the United Kingdom perceived an attack against the [[Falkland Islands]], it did not invoke Article 5. The Falkland Islands fell under the rubric of the [[Monroe Doctrine]] and other defensive alliances the United States has through the [[Organization of American States]]. Argentina claimed the Falklands as their own, and the United Kingdom sent an invasion fleet to "liberate" the English-speaking colony.<br />
<br />
In 2006, Ivo H. Daalder, the current President of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and previously the U.S. Permanent Representative on the Council of NATO (2009–2013), published with co-author James Goldgeier a proposal for a "Global NATO" in the [[globalist]] magazine ''Foreign Affairs''.<br />
<br />
===Article 5===<br />
The official NATO website notes “The European participants wanted to ensure that the [[United States]] would automatically come to their assistance should one of the signatories come under attack; the United States did not want to make such a pledge and obtained that this be reflected in the wording of Article 5.” That Article says in part:<br />
{{quotebox-float|“The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in [[Europe]] or [[North America]] shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognized by Article 51 of the [[Charter of the United Nations]], will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the [[North Atlantic]] area.”}}<br />
While an attack on one is “considered” an attack on all, that does not impose any obligatory duties on the signatories.<br />
<br />
===Stalin's request to join NATO===<br />
{{See also|Operation Unthinkable|Operation Gladio}}<br />
In the late 1940s, Soviet leaders, including [[Joseph Stalin]], seriously considered joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which was created in 1949. The idea had been circulating in [[Moscow]] even before the alliance's founding, partly because the memory of the anti-Nazi alliance was still fresh.<ref>https://www.rbth.com/history/327331-nato-ussr-entering-pitch</ref><br />
<br />
When NATO was being formed, British parliamentary debates discussed whether to invite the [[USSR]] to join. Soviet Foreign Minister [[Andrey Vyshinsky]] sent a note to [[London]] proposing talks about Moscow's possible membership. However, [[the West]] responded with silence, and the proposal was not pursued.<br />
<br />
In 1951, Soviet officials like [[Andrei Gromyko]] stated they would join if NATO was directed against future [[German]] aggression.<ref>https://ciaotest.cc.columbia.edu/journals/iarj/v56i2/f_0019560_16706.pdf</ref> Stalin also saw NATO as undermining the UN by creating a closed military bloc without a broader European security arrangement. In August 1952, French ambassador Louis Joxe told Stalin that NATO was a peaceful organization within the [[UN Charter]]. Stalin laughed and asked Vyshinsky whether the USSR should join.<br />
<br />
By 1954, after Stalin's death, the USSR formally suggested that NATO could lose its "aggressive" character if it included all former anti-[[Hitler]] coalition members, and expressed willingness to discuss [[Soviet]] participation under those conditions. However, [[the West]] rejected the idea.<br />
<br />
===Early personnel===<br />
{{See also|Lying myth of "clean Wermacht"}}<br />
Adolf Heusinger served as operations Chief within the general staff of the High Command of the German Army in the Wehrmacht from 1940 to 1944. Heusinger helped plan the invasions of [[Poland]], [[Norway]], [[Denmark]], and [[France]]. He was promoted to colonel on August 1, 1940, and became chief of the Operationsabteilung in October 1940, making him number three in the Army planning hierarchy. Heusinger was accused of involvement in Operation Valkyrie, the July 20, 1944 plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, but his loyalties were found beyond reproach and he was cleared by the Nazi People's Court. After the war he was allowed to take over the newly established [[West German]] army, the “Bundeswehr”. In 1961, Heusinger was made the Chairman of the NATO Military Committee (essentially he was NATO's chief of staff). He served in that capacity until 1964.<br />

General Hans Speidel was [[Erwin Rommel]]’s chief of staff during WWII. After the war, he served in the West German army and became the Supreme Commander of NATO's ground forces in Central Europe from 1957 to 1963.<br />
<br />
Johannes Steinhoff, [[Luftwaffe]] fighter pilot during WWII and recipient of the Knights Cross of the Iron across, was Chairman of the NATO Military Committee 1971–1974 (among other NATO positions beforehand).<br />
<br />
Johann von Kielmansegg, General Staff officer to the High Command of the Wehrmacht 1942–1944, was NATO's Commander in Chief of Allied Forces Central Europe 1967–1968.<br />
<br />
Ernst Ferber, a Major in the Wehrmacht and group leader of the organizational department of the Supreme Command of the Army (Wehrmacht) from 1943 to 1945 and recipient of the Iron Cross 1st Class, was NATO's Commander in Chief of Allied Forces Central Europe from 1973 to 1975.<br />
<br />

===Leftist rebranding===<br />
[[File:NATO Nazi.PNG |right|300px|thumb|March 8, 2022: The official [[Twitter]] account of NATO tweets photo of Ukrainian soldier wearing NAZI insignia.]]<br />
Former Uk diplomat [[Alastair Crooke]] described NATO's leftist rebranding after the collapse of [[leftism]] in the [[Soviet Union]]:<br />
{{quotebox-float|"The old NATO, which Leftists once had hated as a reactionary carbuncle, the Left had now come to see as having new evangelical meaning; no longer reactionary, but now revolutionary. Its new ‘revolutionary’ objective being to hasten the advent of a social revolution whose cultural sub-strata is the promulgation of the [[Woke]] tenets: Diversity, Pride, [[Transgenderism|Trans rights]], and the redress of historic discrimination and wrongs.<br />
<br />
The new NATO, inclusive and [[politically correct]], is seen by European Leftists as the tool by which to sweep aside obstacles to the EU agenda, as well. These ‘switched shirts’ hold that the struggle for this ‘Cultural Order’ is incessant, totalising, and all-encompassing."<ref>[https://thealtworld.com/alastair_crooke/sustained-peace-with-russia-is-it-possible Sustained Peace With Russia?

<br />
===Nazi legacy in leadership===<br />
<br />
*German Chancellor [[Friedrich Merz]]: Grandfather Josef Paul Sauvigny was a [[Nazi]] politician and mayor of Brilon, western [[Germany]]. Praised the Nazi “national revolution” in 1933 and renamed his town's streets after party bigwigs. Applied for membership in the party as early as May 1933, months after [[Hitler]] seized power. Merz has described his granddad as “an admirable role model”.<br />
<br />
*[[UN General Assembly]] President and former German Foreign Minister [[Annalena Baerbock]]: Grandfather Waldemar Baerbock, a [[Wehrmacht]] officer superiors called a “dedicated soldier completely rooted in [[National Socialism]]”, was awarded the War Merit Cross with Swords in 1944. In 2004, Annalena described the EU project as the “reunification of Europe”, saying she and her colleagues were “standing on the shoulders of our grandparents”.<br />
<br />
*[[Canada]]’s Transport and Internal Trade Minister [[Chrystia Freeland]]: She's not [[Europe]]an, but the granddaughter of Canada's chief establishment politician, Michael Chomiak, who worked as a propagandist in Nazi-occupied Poland for a [[fascist]] [[Ukrainian]] newspaper and emigrated to Canada under [[Operation Paperclip]].<br />
<br />
*[[Polish]] Prime Minister [[Donald Tusk]]: Grandfather Jozef Tusk was conscripted into the Wehrmacht in 1942, deserting in 1945. A debate continues to rage in Poland about the [[Prime Minister]]’s family's past.<br />
<br />
*[[Republic of Georgia]] ex-President and [[French]] [[citizen]] [[Salome Zourabichvili]]: Georgia's former EU puppet president. Her Uncle Mikhail Kedia was a Nazi collaborator, [[Abwehr]] recruiter and [[Gestapo]] agent with friends in high places, including [[Reinhard Heydrich]], principal architect of the [[Holocaust]]. Another uncle, Georges Zourabichvili, also collaborated with the Nazis before disappearing in 1944. The Republic of Georgia was invited to join NATO in 2006.<br />

===Soviet reaction===<br />
<br />
NATO acceptance of [[Europe]]an countries led Soviet Russia in 1955 to set up a counter organization, The [[Warsaw Treaty Organization]] (or Warsaw Pact). Common defense, the ongoing MAD strategy, and economic crisis led the [[Soviet Union]] and the Warsaw Pact to its demise. NATO's transatlantic relations and prevention were key to the end of the [[Cold War]], and the beginning of an interlinking of United States and European policies, which still remains to this day.<br />
<br />
===2025: Debt to GDP ratio of leading NATO members===<br />
Without cutting domestic social programs and social security, most NATO member states would struggle to continue funding the [[corrupt]] [[Zelensky regime]] in the [[NATO proxy war against Russia]], let alone provide for their own defense. As most students of [[geopolitics|international politics]] learn in their freshman year, [[military]] power is built on [[economic]] power. <br />
<br />
Debt to [[GDP]] ratio of leading NATO member states:<br />
*Greece: 152.5%<br />
*Italy: 137.9%<br />
*France: 114.1%<br />
*Belgium: 106.8%<br />
*Spain: 103.5%<br />
*UK: 100%<ref>A debt-to-GDP ratio of 100% means the entire raw economic produce of a country is already owed to creditors, and cannot provide for the same year's cost of production or the consumption of the country's inhabitants. Essentially meaning the current years economic production & consumption has to be financed by piling on more debt equal to cost of one years production and consumption.</ref><br />
*Portugal: Approximately 99%<br />
*Finland: Near 89%<br />
<br />
These member states and more, would struggle to find the financing for continued [[war]] against [[Russia]], which is why they seek the [[United States]] as a "backstop" to provide "security guarantees".<br />

Russian defense minister [[Sergei Shoigu]] said at the opening of the 10th Moscow International Security Conference in August 2022:<br />
[[File:LGBT NATO.jpg|right|300px|thumb]]<br />
{{quotebox-float|"The unconditional dominance of the US and its allies is a thing of the past. On February 24, 2022, the start of the [[special military operation]] in Ukraine marked the end of the [[unipolar]] world. Multipolarity has become a reality. The poles of this world are clearly defined. The main difference between them is that some respect the interests of sovereign states and take into account the cultural and historical particularities of countries and peoples, while others disregard them. There have been numerous discussions on this topic during previous sessions of the Moscow conference. In Europe, the security situation is worse than at the peak of the Cold War. The alliance’s military activities have become as aggressive and anti-Russian as possible. Significant US forces have been redeployed to the continent, and the number of coalition troops in Eastern and Central Europe has increased manifold.<br />
<br />
It is important to note that the deployment of additional NATO Joint Force formations on the bloc’s “eastern flank” had already started before the start of the special military operation in Ukraine. NATO has dropped its masks. The aggressive nature of the bloc was no longer concealed by the wording of the coalition’s purely defensive orientation. Today, the alliance’s strategic planning documents enshrine claims to global dominance. Alliance’s interests include [[Africa]], the [[Middle East]] and the Pacific Rim.<br />
<br />
In the West’s view, the established system of international relations should be replaced by a so-called [[rules-based world order]]. The logic here is simple and ultimatumatic. Either the alliance’s “democratic partner” candidate loses sovereignty and becomes supposedly on the “right side of history”. Or it is relegated to the category of so-called [[authoritarian]] regimes, against which all kinds of measures, up to and including coercive pressure, can be used."<ref>https://thesaker.is/welcoming-speech-of-the-russian-minister-of-defence-at-the-opening-of-10th-moscow-conference-on-international-security/</ref>}}<br />

=== The US Empire ===<br />
<br />
The United States spends about 7 to 8 times the military budgets of the 7 biggest militaries of the world combined<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCpCA8Rz-PY Why America’s Defense Budget Is Bigger Than You Think]</ref><br />
<br />
On Dec. 5, 2019, the pro-NATO and pro-Ukraine ''New York Times'' published in an opinion piece:<br />
[[File:Stoltenberg LGBT.PNG|right|300px|thumb|NATO General Secretary as of 2023 [[Jens Stoltenberg]] (center) at an [[LGBT]] rally.]]<br />
{{Cquote|With the conclusion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s 70th anniversary summit in London, it’s fair to say that [[Donald Trump]] thinks that most alliance members, starting with France and Canada, are a bunch of ungrateful and unhelpful freeloaders...<br />
<br />
In 2011, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates warned of a “dim if not dismal future” for the alliance if states such as Germany continued to underspend on defense. Nearly eight years later, a German parliamentary report found that fewer than half of the country’s fighter jets, and not one of its six submarines, were combat worthy. The German defense minister recently announced that she does plan to meet NATO targets on military spending, but not until 2031.<br />
<br />
Most other NATO members are no better. Canada, for instance, spends just 1.27 percent of its gross domestic product on defense (the NATO target is 2 percent) and cannot meet its obligations to defend North America’s airspace. When Justin Trudeau was overheard at the summit belittling Trump for taking too long with his press conference, the Canadian prime minister sounded to many Americans like a child whining that a working parent had kept him waiting for supper.<br />
<br />
All of this means that when Macron and other European leaders muse about creating an autonomous European defense force, they are, as one seasoned Parisian observer put it to me, “playing with cards they don’t have.” Even sizable increases in defense spending wouldn’t fill the gap that an American departure from Europe would leave: Roughly half of European defense spending goes to salaries and pensions, not warfighting capacity.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/05/opinion/trump-nato.html NATO Is Full of Freeloaders. But It’s How We Defend the Free World.], ''New York Times'', Dec. 5, 2019</ref>}}<br />

{{Cquote|NATO was formed in 1949 with the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty in Washington. Its purpose was to ensure the collective security of its member states and to counter the perceived security threat from the then Soviet Union.<br />
<br />
At the heart of the North Atlantic Treaty is Article 5, which states that an attack against one member state shall be considered as an attack against them all.<br />
<br />
Article 5 does not necessarily commit an ally to military action in the event of an attack. Instead, it requires members to assist the party or parties attacked with “such action it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area”.<br />
<br />
Given Article 5’s obligation, member states are advised to maintain adequate defence spending levels, so they have the capacity to act if necessary. This sentiment is formally reflected in the target for NATO members to spend at least 2% of their country’s GDP on defence, set at the 2006 Riga Summit...<br />
<br />
Despite all NATO members agreeing to the 2% guideline, few countries have adhered to it.<br />
<br />
Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 drew attention to the declining defence budgets of most NATO members. At the NATO Summit in Wales that year, member states agreed to reverse the trend and aim to spend 2% of GDP on defence by 2024.<br />
<br />
Between 2014 and 2022, defence expenditure by NATO members is expected to rise by $140 billion (15%). However, while the number of countries meeting the 2% target has increased over this period, most are still falling short.<br />
<br />
...only nine out of 30 member states are expected to meet the 2% spending target in 2022, up from three members in 2014...<br />
<br />
Prior to Russia’s invasion, the UK was already meeting the 2% spending target. In 2022 it is expected to spend 2.1% of GDP on defence. This is down from 2.3% in 2020.<ref>[https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/defence-spending-pledges-by-nato-members-since-russia-invaded-ukraine/ Defence spending pledges by NATO members since Russia invaded Ukraine], Published Thursday, 11 August 2022</ref>}}<br />

===Post-Cold war expansion and aggression===<br />
[[File:NATO enlargement.png|right|300px|thumb|NATO enlargement - the root cause of the war in Ukraine.<ref>https://sonar21.com/nato-expansion-the-root-cause-of-the-war-in-ukraine/</ref>]]<br />
The crowning achievements of Presidents [[Ronald Reagan]] and [[Mikhail Gorbachev]] was the signing of the long sought-after [[Treaty on Intermediate Nuclear Forces]] (INF Treaty) in 1988. The treaty banned placement of nuclear missiles with a range of 1,000 to 5,000 kilometers near each other's borders or the capital cities of allies. This agreement paved the way for the end of the Cold War.<br />
<br />
When the Cold War ended, NATO or ‘the collective West’, began promoting an aggressive ideology of organized violence, a politically- economically- and militarily-enforced doctrine known as ‘globalism’. After the Kosovo bombing in 1998,<ref>https://www.aim.org/media-monitor/kosovo-wag-the-dog/</ref> the use of NATO to wage aggressive war called into question the very reason for the organization's existence.<ref>https://www.jstor.org/stable/4489267</ref> Some called for the abolishment of the organization, stating that it had lost it original purpose. <br />
<br />
With the collapse of the [[Warsaw Pact]] in 1991, despite assurances from the [[collective West]] to the [[Russian Federation]] that it would not move eastward, NATO violated those agreements anyway and absorbed former Warsaw Pact countries in [[Central Europe]]an countries. These included [[Poland]], [[Estonia]], [[Latvia]] and [[Lithuania]], buttressing up against the borders of the Russian Federation where intermediate nuclear missiles (1,000 to 5,000 km range) could be placed in violation of the 1988 INF Treaty. [[Slovakia]], [[Slovenia]], [[Bulgaria]] and [[Romania]] also joined the alliance, resulting in an organization of 26 nations. This spark of expansion was seen as an offensive move by [[Russia]] and caused a rift in the NATO and Russian relations. The Russian lower house released to the press a statement, "At present we are debating the draft statement of the State Duma which we are planning to adopt in connection with NATO's expansion in Europe. Our opinion is equivocal that this act is erroneous. I think that this is a big historical mistake on the part of western states."<br />
<br />
After dangling the bait of NATO membership before Ukraine for fourteen years, NATO was compelled to confess that it would not be able to come to the defense of Ukraine in case of any Russian military invasion because Article 5 only allowed collective defense to be invoked for NATO members, which Ukraine is not. Any sanction package that targets Russian energy and/or access to banking institutions would hurt Europe far more than Russia. There is no viable alternative for Europe to Russian energy supplies. The U.S. cannot compete with Russia in terms of price and volume when it comes to home heating oil and natural gas deliveries.<br />

===NATO enlargement: Russia reaction===<br />
<br />
NATO expansion since the Clinton era represents a betrayal of the international agreements that ended the Cold War, caused the [[Fall of the Wall]], and collapse of Soviet communism. Western [[oligarch]]s and [[neo-fascist]] [[globalism|global]] interests have profited immeasurably from ending the Cold War and betraying security agreements made with the Russian Federation in the late 1980s and early 1990s.<br />
<br />
To assent to the reunification of Germany, Soviet leader [[Mikhail Gorbachev]] ultimately agreed to a proposal from then U.S. Secretary of State [[James Baker (DOS)]] that a reunited Germany would be part of NATO but the military alliance would not move “one inch” to the east, that is, absorb any of the former [[Warsaw Pact]] nations into NATO.<ref>https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F03c2978a-e903-461c-943e-8124481200b2_772x590.jpeg</ref><ref>https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_600,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.substack.com%2Fmedia%2FFs9pHl7XoAUzGW5.jpg</ref><br />
<br />
On Feb. 9, 1990, Baker said: “We consider that the consultations and discussions in the framework of the 2+4 mechanism should give a guarantee that the reunification of Germany will not lead to the enlargement of NATO’s military organization to the East.” On the next day, then German Chancellor [[Helmut Kohl]] said: “We consider that NATO should not enlarge its sphere of activity.”<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2022/01/28/the-tangled-tale-of-nato-expansion-at-the-heart-of-ukraine-crisis/</ref> Gorbachev's mistake was not to get it in writing as a legally-binding agreement.<ref>For years it was believed there was no written record of the Baker-Gorbachev exchange at all, until the National Security Archive at George Washington University in December 2017 published a series of memos and cables about these assurances against NATO expansion eastward.</ref><br />
[[File:Schifrinson.PNG|left|350px|thumb|Gorbachev and Yeltsin agreed to collapsing the Soviet Union in exchange for a non-NATO expansion pledge.

{{quotebox-float|"U.S. Secretary of State James Baker’s famous ‘not one inch eastward’ assurance about NATO expansion in his meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on February 9, 1990, was part of a cascade of assurances about Soviet security given by [[Western]] leaders to Gorbachev and other Soviet officials throughout the process of German unification in 1990 and on into 1991, according to declassified U.S., Soviet, German, British and French documents …<br />
<br />
The documents show that multiple national leaders were considering and rejecting Central and Eastern European membership in NATO as of early 1990 and through 1991, that discussions of NATO in the context of German unification negotiations in 1990 were not at all narrowly limited to the status of [[East German]] territory, and that subsequent Soviet and Russian complaints about being misled about NATO expansion were founded in written contemporaneous memcons and telcons at the highest levels. … The documents reinforce former CIA Director [[Robert Gates]]’s criticism of ‘pressing ahead with expansion of NATO eastward [in the 1990s], when Gorbachev and others were led to believe that wouldn’t happen.’ …<br />
<br />
President [[George H.W. Bush]] had assured Gorbachev during the Malta summit in December 1989 that the U.S. would not take advantage (‘I have not jumped up and down on the [[Berlin Wall]]”) of the revolutions in Eastern Europe to harm Soviet interests.’”<ref>https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/russia-programs/2017-12-12/nato-expansion-what-gorbachev-heard-western-leaders-early</ref>}}<br />
<br />
The minutes of a March 6, 1991 meeting in [[Bonn]], [[West Germany]] between political directors of the foreign ministries of the US, UK, France, and Germany contain multiple references to “2+4” talks on German unification in which Western officials made it “clear” to the Soviet Union that NATO would not push into territory east of Germany. “We made it clear to the Soviet Union – in the 2+4 talks, as well as in other negotiations – that we do not intend to benefit from the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Eastern Europe,” the document in British foreign ministry archives quotes US Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Canada Raymond Seitz. “NATO should not expand to the east, either officially or unofficially,” Seitz added. A British representative also mentions the existence of a “general agreement” that membership of NATO for [[eastern Europe]]an countries is “unacceptable.”<ref>https://www.spiegel.de/ausland/nato-osterweiterung-aktenfund-stuetzt-russische-version-a-1613d467-bd72-4f02-8e16-2cd6d3285295</ref><br />

In May 1995 President [[Bill Clinton]] was invited to [[Moscow]] for the 50th anniversary celebrations of the victory over [[Hitler]]. In Moscow, Russian President [[Boris Yeltsin]] berated Clinton about NATO expansion, seeing “nothing but humiliation” for Russia: “For me to agree to the borders of NATO expanding towards those of Russia – that would constitute a betrayal on my part of the Russian people.”<ref>https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/russia-programs/2021-11-24/nato-expansion-budapest-blow-1994</ref><br />
<br />
After the Soviet Union collapsed depriving NATO of its original reason for existence, skeptics of the alliance included [[liberal]]s as much as [[conservative]]s. In 1998, 10 Democratic Senators joined nine Republicans in opposing the first, fateful round of NATO enlargement with [[Hungary]], the [[Czech Republic]], and [[Poland]] added, extending the alliance to Russia's border. Among the dissenters was Senator [[Paul Wellstone]] of Minnesota. In between voting against the first Iraq war in 1991 and the second after Sept. 11, Sen. Wellstone warned that expanding NATO would jeopardize Europe's hard-won gains. “There is peace between states in Europe, between nations in Europe, for the first time in centuries,” he said. “We do not have a divided Europe, and I worry about a NATO expansion which could redivide Europe and again poison relations with Russia.”<ref>https://quincyinst.org/2021/06/14/sorry-liberals-but-you-really-shouldnt-love-nato/</ref><br />
<br />
[[Vladimir Putin]] assumed office as the president of Russia on the last day of 1999. In an interview with David Frost broadcast on the [[BBC]] on March 13, 2000, Putin expressed his desire to see Russia join NATO:<ref>https://www.gazeta.ru/2001/02/28/putin_i_bbc.shtml</ref><br />
{{quotebox-float|'''Frost: Tell me about your views on NATO, if you would. Do you see NATO as a potential partner, or rival, or an enemy?'''<br />
<br />
Putin: Russia is a part of European culture. I simply cannot see my country isolated from Europe, from what we often describe as the civilized world. That is why it is hard for me to regard NATO as an enemy. I think that such a perception has nothing good in store for Russia and the rest of the world. ...<br />
<br />
We strive for equal cooperation, partnership, we believe that it is possible to speak even about higher levels of integration with NATO. But only, I repeat, if Russia is an equal partner. As you know, we constantly express our negative attitude to NATO's expansion to the East. ...<br />
<br />
'''Frost: Is it possible that Russia will ever join NATO?'''<br />
<br />
Putin: Why not? I do not rule out such a possibility. I repeat, on condition that Russia's interests are going to be taken into account, if Russia becomes a full-fledged partner. I want to specially emphasize this. ...<br />
<br />
When we say that we object to NATO's expansion to the East, we are not expressing any special ambitions of our own, ambitions in respect of some regions of the world. ... By the way, we have never declared any part of the world a zone of our national interests. Personally, I prefer to speak about strategic partnership. The zone of strategic interests of any particular region means first of all the interests of the people who live in that region. ...}}<br />
On September 9, 2001, two days before the [[September 11, 2001 attacks]], President [[Vladimir Putin]] telephoned [[US]] President [[George W. Bush]] to warn that Russian intelligence has detected signs of an incipient terrorist campaign, something long in preparation, coming out of Afghanistan.<ref>[https://responsiblestatecraft.org/russia-terror-attack/ Connecting dots: What Russia can learn from the US after 9/11], [[George Beebe]], ''Responsible Statecraft'', Mar 26, 2024. responsiblestatecraft.org</ref> Within hours after the attacks,<ref>https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/russia-programs/2026-01-07/bush-putin-transcripts-how-vladimir-putin-and-george-w</ref> Vladimir Putin was the first foreign leader to call President [[George W. Bush]] and offer sympathy and support for what became the first invocation of NATO Article V, "an attack against one is an attack against all."<ref>https://edition.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/europe/09/10/ar911.russia.putin/index.html</ref> Putin announced a five-point plan to support the [[war on terror]], pledging that the Russian government would (1) share intelligence with their American counterparts, (2) open Russian airspace for flights providing humanitarian assistance (3) cooperate with Russia's Central Asian allies in [[Uzbekistan]] and [[Kyrgyzstan]] to provide similar kinds of airspace access to American flights, (4) participate in international search and rescue efforts, and (5) increase direct assistance -humanitarian as well as military assistance—to the Afghan Northern Alliance. The intelligence Putin shared, including data that helped American forces find their way around [[Kabul]] and logistical information about Afghanistan's topography and caves, contributed to the success of operation and rout of the Taliban. Two weeks after the attacks, Putin was invited to make a speech to a Special Session of the Bundestag, the first ever by a Russian head of state to the German parliament.<ref>http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/40168</ref> Among the numerous subjects Putin addressed in fluent German was peace and stability in the common European home:<br />
{{quotebox-float|"But what are we lacking today for cooperation to be efficient?<br />
<br />
In spite of all the positive achievements of the past decades, we have not yet developed an efficient mechanism for working together.<br />
<br />
The coordinating agencies set up so far do not offer Russia real opportunities for taking part in drafting and taking decision. Today decisions are often taken, in principle, without our participation, and we are only urged afterwards to support such decisions. After that they talk again about loyalty to NATO. They even say that such decisions cannot be implemented without Russia. Let us ask ourselves: is this normal? Is this true partnership?<br />
<br />
Yes, the assertion of [[democratic]] principles in international relations, the ability to find a correct decision and readiness for compromise are a difficult thing. But then, it was the Europeans who were the first to understand how important it is to look for consensus over and above national egoism. We agree with that! All these are good ideas. However, the quality of decisions that are taken, their efficiency and, ultimately, European and international security in general depend on the extent to which we succeed today in translating these obvious principles into practical politics.<br />
<br />
It seemed just recently that a truly common home would shortly rise on the continent, a home in which the Europeans would not be divided into eastern or western, northern or southern. However, these divides will remain, primarily because we have never fully shed many of the Cold War stereotypes and cliches.<br />
<br />
Today we must say once and for all: the Cold War is done with! We have entered a new stage of development. We understand that without a modern, sound and sustainable security architecture we will never be able to create an atmosphere of trust on the continent, and without that atmosphere of trust there can be no united Greater Europe! Today we must say that we renounce our stereotypes and ambitions and from now on will jointly work for the security of the people of Europe and the world as a whole.}}<br />
In 2004 the Baltic states - [[Latvia]], [[Lithuania]], and [[Estonia]] joined NATO, setting up another common border between the Russian Federation and a NATO state. Three years later, at the Munich Security Conference, Putin declared, “We have the right to ask: against whom is this [NATO] expansion intended? And what happened to the assurances our western partners made after the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact? Where are those declarations today? No one even remembers them.”<ref>https://aldeilis.net/english/putins-historical-speech-munich-conference-security-policy-2007/</ref> In 2008 NATO said Ukraine and Georgia would become members. Four other [[Eastern Europe]]an states joined NATO in 2009.<br />
<br />
At the February 2007 Munich Security Conference President Putin said.<br />
{{quotebox-float|"I think it is obvious that NATO expansion does not have any relation with the modernization of the alliance itself or with ensuring security in Europe. On the contrary, it represents a serious provocation that reduces the level of mutual trust. And we have the right to ask: Against whom is this expansion intended?

In 1998, President [[Bill Clinton]] attempted to justify NATO's continued existence as a distraction from the [[impeachment]] movement against him.<ref>https://mises.org/wire/new-kosovo-indictment-reminder-bill-clintons-serbian-war-atrocities</ref> Under Clinton, the United States led its NATO allies on a bombing campaign to stop Yugoslav President [[Slobodan Milošević]]'s alleged ethnic cleansing of the Albanians inside of [[Kosovo]]. The mission in [[Kosovo]] did not go as well as planned. After the air strikes, havoc reigned over [[Kosovo]], abuses continued and human rights organizations listed abuses committed by the Alliance members during the campaign. In an attempt to solve the violence, NATO countries and the [[United Nations]] took on a mission to stabilize and reconstruct the country. The NATO intervention was illegal, destructive, and based on fraudulent claims.<ref>[http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=1666 The U.S.-NATO Military Intervention in Kosovo.]</ref><br />

James Bissett, a former Canadian ambassador to Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Albania, wrote: "the Central Intelligence Agency assisted by the British Special Air Service were training KLA members in Albania and in the summer of 1998 sending them back into Kosovo to assassinate Serbian mayors, ambush Serbian policemen and intimidate hesitant Kosovo Albanians. The aim was to destabilize Kosovo and overthrow [[Serbia]]n strongman Slobodan Milosevic... The hope was that with Kosovo in flames NATO could intervene ..." <ref>[http://www.catholicapologetics.info/modernproblems/currenterrors/unation.htm The United Nations:Chief Instrument of Russia's Errors by Cornelia R.

<br />
According to the US Department of Defense's Law of War Manual which points out that “attacks that are otherwise lawful are “not rendered unlawful if they happen to result in diminished civilian morale.” It then cites with approval a 2002 commentary about NATO's war on Serbia from a former DoD General Counsel regarding the strikes on Serbian electrical infrastructure: “I will readily admit that, aside from directly damaging the military electrical power infrastructure, NATO wanted the civilian population to experience discomfort, so that the population would pressure Milosevic and the Serbian leadership."<ref>https://sites.duke.edu/lawfire/2022/10/27/is-attacking-the-electricity-infrastructure-used-by-civilians-always-a-war-crime/</ref><br />

NATO Spokesman James Shea justifying NATO's systemic attacks on Serbian electrical and water infrastructure: “Yes, I'm afraid electricity also drives command and control systems. If President Milosevic really wants all of his population to have water and electricity all he has to do is accept NATO's five conditions and we will stop this campaign. But as long as he doesn't do so we will continue to attack those targets which provide the electricity for his armed forces.

On May 25, 1999 ''[[The Washington Post]]'' reported, ''NATO Warplanes Jolt Yugoslav Power Grid''.<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/inatl/longterm/balkans/stories/belgrade052599.htm NATO Warplanes Jolt Yugoslav Power Grid], By Philip Bennett and Steve Coll, Washington Post, May 25, 1999.</ref><br />
According to Professor Robert Hayden from the University of Pittsburgh:<br />
<blockquote><br />
::"NATO's attacks have been aimed against civilian targets since literally the first night of the bombing, when a tractor factory in the Belgrade suburb of Rakovica was destroyed by cruise missiles. Since then NATO targets have included roads, railroad tracks and bridges hundreds of miles from Kosovo, power plants, factories of many kinds, food processing and sugar processing plants, water pumping stations, cigarette factories, central heating plants for civilian apartment blocks, television studios, post offices, non-military government administrative buildings, ski resorts, government official residences, oil refineries, civilian airports, gas stations, and chemical plants. NATO's strategy is not to attack Yugoslavia's army directly, but rather to destroy Yugoslavia itself, in order to weaken the army. With this strategy it is military losses that are "collateral damage," because most of the attacks are aimed at civilian targets."<br />
</blockquote> <br />
<blockquote><br />
The level of damage done to clearly non-military infrastructural targets in [[Serbia]] would seem to render NATO military commanders and at least some NATO political leaders liable to the same charge that was made against Ratko Mladi and Radovan Karadi by the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), "extensive destruction of property:" that they<br />
individually and in concert with others planned, instigated, ordered or otherwise aided and abetted in the planning, preparation or execution of the extensive, wanton and unlawful destruction of ... property, not justified by military necessity or knew or had reason to know that subordinates were about to destroy or permit others to destroy ... property or had done so and failed to take necessary and reasonable measures to prevent this destruction or to punish the perpetrators thereof." <br />
</blockquote><br />
<blockquote><br />
The war supposedly in defense of human rights has produced war crimes by NATO, and a civilian casualty rate that is at least three time higher than the casualty rate of the "intolerable" violations of human rights that NATO was supposedly acting to correct.<ref>[http://jurist.law.pitt.edu/hayden.htm Humanitarian Hypocrisy.] University of Pittsburgh.</ref><br />

NATO used depleted uranium, or nuclear waste, during its aggression.<br />

[[File:KabulHasFallen.png|right|250px|thumb]]<br />
NATO began to look for its new goal in the 21 century. After the attacks on the [[World Trade Centers]] and [[The Pentagon|Pentagon]] on September 11, 2001, NATO countries quickly responded by aiding the United States, as they had promised in Article Five of their founding treaty. AWACS airplanes were sent on surveillance, and NATO began its first and only article five mission to this day, Operation Active Endeavor, which was a Maritime mission to protect the Mediterranean from terrorist operations and drug and WMD trafficking. <br />
<br />
After the end of the [[Cold War]], European defense spending had weakened and its military lacked technology and modernization. In 2002, NATO met for its annual summit, which was held in [[Prague]]. The 19 country alliance made a list of improvements that its members needed to make in order to effectively fight the war on terror, these improvements called for, among other thing, a NATO Military Concept for Defense against Terrorism. NATO members also took steps to modernize there forces, all 19 countries agreed to spend at least 2% of their GDP on defense. NATO also agreed on its new focus, terrorism.<br />
<br />
NATO took command and co-ordination of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in August 2003. When NATO and some non-member states joined (such as [[Australia]] and [[Japan]]), the initial mission was limited to [[Kabul]], but soon expanded. In 2006, when NATO took over full command over the Afghanistan operation, the [[Taliban]] began a major campaign. Commanders complained that their forces were being restricted by national restrictions, and that they needed more troops. In November 2006, at another NATO summit in [[Riga]], NATO countries removed 15% of restrictions placed on troops. NATO called on member governments to provide more troops to their mission in Afghanistan, but several countries had their resources stretched thin in Kosovo, as well as their mission in [[Iraq]] of training the new Iraqi government's security force.<br />

{{quotebox-float|"After the [[fall of Kabul]], EU defence and security officials have been strikingly critical of the US decision to send home its troops, arguing it has weakened Nato and raised questions about Europe’s security dependence on Washington."}} <br />
Lord Peter Ricketts, the [[UK]]’s former national security adviser, said. “It looks like Nato has been completely overtaken by American [[unilateral]] decisions...The Afghanistan operation was always going to end some time, it was never going to go on forever, but the manner in which it’s been done has been humiliating and damaging to Nato.”<br />
<br />
===Missile defense===<br />
The multi-billion dollar missile defense system was started by Reagan, dubbed by opponents 'Star Wars', a futuristic fantasy.<ref>In a bit of ''shadenfreude'' Mondale himself rarely used the term 'Star Wars'. At a time religious believers were coming under increasing attack for their political views, Mondale preferred to campaign against "war in the heavens." https://youtu.be/tu1r_rlUtXg</ref> Bill Clinton cut the program and wouldn't deploy the initial prototype. [[Baby Bush]] revived it, and in 2007 the [[Iron Dome]] system was deployed to [[Israel]]. Russia had been supportive of America's War on Terror, but as the Russo-Georgian War heated up, NATO allies in Europe, particularly those involved in the Partners for Peace program (former Warsaw Pact members), expressed a desire to have missile defense systems based on their territory. Talk was of a reignited Cold War, for which [[Hillary Clinton]] and [[Barack Obama]] blamed George W. Bush.<ref>http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/washington/2008-03-26-2325570908_x.htm</ref><br />
<br />
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama opposed deployment of the missile defense system and condemned the anti-Putin stance of Secretary of State [[Condolezza Rice]] who was regarded as a [[feminist]] [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Uncle%20Tom Uncle Tom]. In office, Obama promptly cancelled the missile defense program and Hillary hit the Reset button on deteriorating US-Russian relations - at least until the Rosatom-Uranium One deal was completed. Then reality set in. Obama started sounding like George W. Bush and Hillary like Condi Rice, the two people they heaped scorn on a few years earlier. In 2016 the two redirected their scorn at Donald Trump, as Trump's rhetoric about Putin and criticism of incumbents sounded like a mimeographed speech of either Hillary or Obama in the 2008 Democratic primaries.<br />
<br />
Putin warned that the Russians do not view the missile defense system as a defensive system - at all.<ref>https://youtu.be/kqD8lIdIMRo </ref> The system has the capability of a first strike launch to destroy the entire Russian land based nuclear arsenal when it's based on Russia's borders. Deployment would be provocative. President Obama, after decades of trashing Ronald Reagan as a reckless nuclear war hawk for his Star Wars fantasy and Baby Bush for reigniting the Cold War, ignored Putin's warning and deployed the missile defense system in Romania.<ref>http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/218188</ref> This was done, the administration said, to guard against Iranian nukes, despite the fact Obama said it would be at least 13 years before Iran had a nuke in the recently completed Iran nuke deal. Putin responded by stationing [[Iskander]] missiles (SS-26s in NATO nomenclature)<ref><small>*''Dimensions'': Each Iskander missile has a length of 7.3m, a body diameter of 0.92m and a weight of 3,800 kg. In contrast, a 3.96-meter-long [[ATACMS]] missile has a body diameter of 0.61m and weighs up to 1,670 kg. The Iskander missile’s warhead weight is 480 kg against the 224 kg warhead of the ATACMS.<br>*''Range'': The Iskander and ATACMS missiles have a maximum range of 500 kilometers (310 miles) and 300 kilometers (186 miles), respectively.*''Payload'': The ATACMS missile can carry various types of warheads, including unitary high-explosive warheads or sub-munitions. The Iskander missile is also capable of carrying different types of warheads, such as conventional high-explosive ones, cluster munitions, or even nuclear warheads.<br>*''Mobility'': The ATACMS missile is typically launched from an M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System ([[HIMARS]]) or an M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS). To launch an Iskander missile, Russian forces use a mobile transporter-erector-launcher (TEL) vehicle, which provides high mobility and quick deployment capabilities.<br>*''Guidance System'': The ATACMS missile uses a combination of inertial navigation system (INS) and GPS guidance for accurate targeting. The Iskander missile employs an advanced guidance system, including inertial navigation, GLONASS (Russian satellite navigation system), and potentially other guidance technology.</small></ref> in [[Kaliningrad]].

UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1973 of March 17, 2011 followed on the heels of Gaddafi's public threat on March 2, 2011, to throw western oil companies out of Libya, and his invitation on March 14 to Chinese, Russian, and Indian firms to produce Libyan oil in their place.<ref>''[http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/3/12/7661/Business/Economy/Gaddafi-offers-Libyan-oil-production-to-India,-Rus.aspx Gaddafi offers Libyan oil production to India, Russia, China,] Agence France-Presse, March 14, 2011.</ref> China, Russia, India and Brazil all abstained on UNSC Resolution 1973.<br />
<br />
Resolution 1973 authorized strict limitations, according to international law, on NATO as the organization with responsibility for the implementation of the resolution. Particularly, it provided only for a naval blockade enforcing the arms embargo, and enforcement of a no-fly zone. On March 29, 2011, Russian envoy [[Dmitry Rogozin]] commented after a meeting with NATO officials in [[Brussels, Belgium]], that Russia expressed deep concern over the interpretation of the Security Council's resolution, as some countries have effectively turned it into an approval for ground operations.<br />
{{Cquote|[[Moscow]] has many questions about how the UN Security Council’s resolution is being carried out...First of all, there are reports that civilians have been killed in the air strikes. This is odd if you consider the message of the resolution, which says that the foreign forces’ actions should protect civilians. So it’s hard to comprehend how you can protect civilians by killing them....we demanded that the UN Security Council be fully informed about the actions of the alliance in Libya at all times... We have reports of air strikes against convoys far from the front line.

The French and the British described plans for a wargames exercise for an attack on Libya in November 2010, in the end they used those military assets that had been mobilized for the real thing 3 months ago. NATO doesn't just go and bomb a country over night, these things are planned far in advance, and in this case there is conclusive evidence that there have been plans for this for many many years.<ref>[https://lizziesliberation.wordpress.com/2011/06/04/letter-from-libya-to-a-close-friend/ Letter from Libya to a close friend] June 4, 2011.</ref><br />

Despite France taking the lead role in the intervention, the Congressional Research Service reports, "Only the United States and NATO possess the command and control capabilities necessary for coalition operations enforcing the no-fly zone over Libya." France only recently rejoined the NATO alliance, in 2008, after a 40-year absence.

{{Cquote|In spite of statements underscoring NATO unity on steps announced to date, the initial planning and operational phases were also marked by significant <br />
\levels of discord within Europe and [[NATO]] on the aims and future direction of the mission. A key point of contention was reportedly the amount of flexibility that NATO forces would be granted to protect civilians and civilian areas, as called for in paragraph 4 of UNSCR 1973. Reports indicate that French officials insisted on maintaining the ability to strike ground forces that threatened civilian areas, while their [[Turkish]] counterparts vocally opposed any targeting of ground forces. Adding to the strain within NATO, NATO ally [[Germany]] abstained from UNSCR 1973 and, opposed to any potential [[combat]] operation, on March 23, withdrew its naval assets in the [[Mediterranean]] from NATO command. Throughout the first week of operations, other European allies contributing to the mission, including Italy and Norway, expressed increasing frustration with the lack of agreement within NATO, with Norway refusing to deploy its fighter jets unless under they were under NATO command and control.<ref>Operation Odyssey Dawn (Libya):<br />

NATO planes and ships began striking cities and military installations in Libya in mid-March, 2011. Allied military officials have spoke of the need for escalation to help protect Libyan civilians and called for Gaddafi to step down. Libyan officials said that NATO is picked sides in a civil war and complained that strikes on Gaddafi's Tripoli compound were attempts to assassinate the leader of a sovereign country. NATO launched its largest airstrike against Moammar Gaddafi's regime on May 24, 2011, with at least 15 massive explosions rocking the Libyan capital.

On May 15, two months into the NATO bombing campaign against loyal Gaddafi's forces, Britain's top military commander said that the Libyan leader could remain “clinging to power” unless NATO broadened its bombing targets to include the country's infrastructure.<ref>http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/libya/index.html</ref><br />

On Jun 18, 2011 Prime minister of Libya Al-Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi accused NATO of a "new level of aggression" over the past 72 hours in which he said the military alliance intentionally targeted civilian buildings, including a hotel and a university. "It has become clear to us that NATO has moved on to deliberately hitting civilian buildings. ... This is a crime against humanity," he told reporters in the capital.

====Biden regime extends aggression====<br />
[[File:Biden Libya.jpg|right|300px|thumb]]<br />
<br />
In 2010 and 2011 the [[Hillary Clinton]] [[State Department]], working with NATO allies (particularly France), triggered a crisis in Libya during the Obama administration's intentional effort to remove [[Muammar Gaddafi]] from power. This was a key element to the [[Arab Spring]] ([[Islamist Spring]] or [[Color Revolution]]) that flowed from the [[Cairo]], [[Egypt]], speech of President Obama a year prior.<br />
<br />
Hillary Clinton, [[Susan Rice]] and [[Samantha Power]] ([[R2P]]) were the architects of the destabilization plan. After the country was destabilized and thrown into severe violent crisis by the U.S. support for radical Islamists in eastern Libya ([[Benghazi]] region), President Obama then signed (Feb, 2011) a national emergency declaration in regard to the destabilized [[Libya]] his administration created.<br />
<br />
Five years later, in April 2016, President Obama expanded the Libya emergency declaration to extend the 2011 declaration and envelop a larger portion of [[North Africa]], under the auspices of expanded threats from [[AQIM]] (al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb). This extension allowed the state dept to frame actions in neighboring Egypt, and block any effort to counteract Obama's mid-east policy which was established to support the [[Muslim Brotherhood]]. In April 2016 it was presumed Hillary Clinton would win the election and continue the policy.<br />
<br />
A full twelve years after Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton destabilized Libya throwing it into a tribal civil war, Joe Biden signed an executive order continuing the extension of the U.S. National Emergency with regard to Libya:<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/02/17/it-never-ends-joe-biden-extends-2011-national-security-emergency-over-libya-through-2023/</ref><br />
:''[…] “The situation in Libya continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and measures are needed to protect against the diversion of assets or other abuses by members of Qadhafi’s family, their associates, and other persons hindering Libyan national reconciliation.<br />
<br />
:''For this reason, the national emergency declared on February 25, 2011, and expanded on April 19, 2016, must continue in effect beyond February 25, 2023. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13566.<br />

Nations aren't given a choice to join. They either join or the US removes the government and installs one that will. Neither [[Sweden]] nor [[Finland]] face any threat from any nations, let alone Russia. The Finns, however, remember the unprovoked Soviet invasion of 1939. The Russians by contrast, recall the Finns along with their Nazi allies encirclement in the [[Siege of Leningrad]] wherein 1.2 million civilians starved to death.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jt8QVm8dPaQC|title=The Legacy of the Siege of Leningrad, 1941–1995: Myth, Memories, and Monuments|last=Kirschenbaum|first=Lisa A.|publisher=Cambridge University Press|year=2006|isbn=9781139460651|pages=44|quote=The blockade began two days later when German and Finnish troops severed all land routes in and out of Leningrad.|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180225210446/https://books.google.ch/books?id=jt8QVm8dPaQC|archive-date=}}</ref> <br />

The supposed “threat” is that Russia has invaded Ukraine “without provocation” and could invade anyone else next - the same “[[WMD]]” lie to advance [[American foreign policy]] objectives. NATO has waged a [[Ethnic cleansing#Donbas ethnic cleansing|proxy war of aggression against the ethnic Russians]] of Donbas since 2014.<ref>https://mronline.org/2022/04/09/the-u-s-proxy-war-in-ukraine/</ref> Neither the Swedish or Finnish government would allow a democratic referendum for the citizens of both countries to decide if they wanted to join the militaristic alliance,<ref>https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/swedish-pm-rejects-referendum-possible-nato-membership-2022-04-28/</ref><ref>https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/finland-nato-ally-russia/2022/04/03/id/1064096/</ref> although even politicians opposed to joining NATO have changed their minds because of pressure from the electorate, according to the globalist [[BBC]] propaganda rag.<ref>[https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61397478 "Are Sweden and Finland going from neutral to Nato?"

<br />
According to a leaked U.S. State Department memo Finland and Sweden were being targeted for classification as human rights abusers in accordance with Biden's Executive Order 14075 from June 2022 that instructs agencies of the federal government to do what they can to stop “[[conversion therapy]]” for “LGBTQI+” people.<ref>https://www.city-journal.org/state-dept-launches-international-gender-pressure-campaign</ref><br />
<br />
[[President Putin]] remarked, "They took Finland and dragged it into NATO. Did we have any disputes with Finland? We had the kindest and most cordial relationship. Yes, there were problems in the forestry sector, but they were related to the need for processing within the country. But now that there will be problems, we will create the Leningrad military district and concentrate certain military units there. Putin emphasized that NATO countries are artificially creating problems in<br />
relations with Russia because they don't want to have such a competitor. "Let us remember that Finland's accession to Nato was announced several months ago. Soon after this information appeared about, Helsinki's preparations for the deployment of American troops on its territory." Infrastructure improvements such as roads and railway lines to American military bases will occur on the American taxpayer's dime, and not the Finns, which is likely the motivation for Finland's accession to NATO.<br />
<br />
In December 2023 Finish defense minister Antti Häkkänen said in [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]], “Russia has the capability and the ability to go on with this war for years, many are overestimating that [[the West]] is winning this, that Ukraine is winning.”<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2023/12/21/european-leaders-on-ukraine-russia-progress-00132726</ref><br />
<br />
In response to the accession of Finland and Sweden, the [[Russian Federation]] counterbalanced NATO's provocative action by signing a Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with the [[Democratic People's Republic of Korea]] in June 2024.<ref>https://armedforces.eu/compare/country_Sweden_vs_North_Korea</ref><br />
<br />
===Republic of Georgia===<br />
While Finland and Sweden's applications to join NATO were fast-tracked, the Republic of Georgia has been waiting for 15 years. Georgia's membership was not on the agenda for NATO's June 2022 summit. 10,000 Russian troops are in the former Georgian territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. NATO's discriminatory behavior led to growing anti-NATO sentiment in Georgia.<ref>https://youtu.be/9iVFcCjcpWo</ref><br />

According to Russian military expert Dr. Konstantin Sivkov of the Russian Academy of Missile and Artillery Sciences, the Americans initially accumulate stocks in preparation to conduct an air offensive operation. About one and a half to two million tons of various [[ammunition]] are needed which takes about six months to transport to forward locations. An air operation, based on NATO's experience, will take two or three days, and then the ground forces will advance.<br />
<br />
At the beginning, about 600-700 aircraft and at least 1,500 [[Tomahawk missile]]s will be involved, which are planned to suppress Russian air defenses. After the destruction of Russian front-line aviation and the achievement of air supremacy, favorable conditions will be created for the ground forces offensive on the territory of Russia.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20240627022324/https://novorosinform.org/vse-gotovo-k-udaru-nazvano-ozhidaemoe-vremya-vtorzheniya-nato-v-rossiyu-vojna-nachnetsya-s-vozdushnyh-provokacij-126785.html Everything is ready to strike.

[[Myrotvorets]] (Peacemaker) is an online database of what its owner declares as “enemies of Ukraine,” containing personal [[doxxing]] information and addresses.

As of April 2022, eleven mayors from various towns in Ukraine were disappeared. Western media outlets followed the Kyiv regime line without exception. The SBU has even hunted opposition figures outside the country's borders.<br />
<br />
===Asia-Pacific===<br />
With NATO expansion into the Asia-Pacific region, the ruse of being purely a "defensive alliance" could no longer hold up.<br />
<br />
===Coalition of the willing===<br />
A [[coalition]] of the willing generally refers to a coalition of [[nation]]s that are willing to break [[international law]], conventions, and codes of conduct to achieve, what in their perception is, "[[strategic]] ends". Coalitions of the willing were assembled in the [[Iraq war]] of 2003, the [[Libyan war]] in 2011, and the [[NATO war against Russia]] in 2022. <br />
<br />
While NATO supposedly is a defensive alliance united by the concept of "an attack against one is an attack against all", in its offensive wars of aggression in Iraq and Libya NATO used the idea of a coalition of its members who were willing to defy standards of [[international law]] and conduct to violate the [[United Nations Charter]] prohibition on waging [[war of aggression|wars of aggression]] against sovereign states. Many NATO member states sat out these wars of aggression. These "coalitions of the willing" have the added benefit of deflecting [[domestic]] criticism by claiming it is a "treaty obligation," and that they are supposedly only living up to their responsibilities.<br />
<br />
On November 25, 2025, the contemporary coalition of the willing, established on March 1, 2025, by General Petr Pavel, [[Czech]] President and former Chairman of NATO's Military Committee, and by [[Keir Starmer]], British Prime Minister, met via videoconference.<br />

<br />
On November 5, 2025, the United Kingdom included Ukraine, a non-NATO member, in this Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF).<br />
<br />
The meeting of the “Coalition of the Willing” on November 25, 2025, was co-chaired by [[Emmanuel Macron]] (President of France), Keir Starmer (Prime Minister of the United Kingdom), and [[Friedrich Merz]] (Federal Chancellor of Germany). It is worth noting that while 38 states, NATO, and the EU participated, [[George Soros]] was represented by Radmila Šekerinska, the [[Macedonia]]n Deputy Secretary General of NATO.<br />
<br />
President Macron outlined the approach, stating that all participants should remain "united to support a just, dignified, and lasting peace for Ukraine that would preserve its sovereignty and ensure its long-term security." Prime Minister Starmer emphasized the importance of reliable security guarantees and strengthening Ukraine's air defenses. [[London]], which does not wish to engage in a confrontation with Russia, hopes to isolate it behind an "iron curtain," as [[Winston Churchill]] did in his 1945 Fulton speech.<br />
<br />
Finally, Chancellor Merz welcomed the common position of the [[United States]], Ukraine, and the European Union and stressed the need to negotiate with Russia. The volunteers listened to a report on the Geneva Peace Talks between, in which only the US participated.<br />

===Doomsday scenario===<br />
''The Washington Examiner'' reported on a study by researchers at the Princeton Program on Science and Global Security on September 17, 2022.<br />
{{quotebox-float|"It is predicted that over 90 million people would be dead or injured in a war between the United States and Russia....Researchers...simulated war using realistic nuclear weapons positions, targets, and fatality estimates to show the consequences that a nuclear war could have on both countries and the world...The simulation’s scenario predicted 91.5 million casualties, with 34.1 million dead and 57.4 million injured....In the scenario, Russia would fire the first shot to prevent a U.S.-NATO advance. Within three hours, the researchers estimated 2.6 million immediate casualties and 480 nuclear weapons fired, 300 from Russia and 180 from NATO.<br />
<br />
Targets would include NATO bases across Europe. The researchers determined that after Europe was destroyed, warheads would be launched from the U.S. Within 45 minutes of that launch, they estimated 3.4 million immediate casualties.<br />
<br />
Tensions between Russia and the U.S. have escalated in recent years, particularly with the war in Ukraine.

====Ukraine missile attack on Poland====<br />
[[File:AP fake news.jpg|right|400px|thumb|The Associated Press tried to ignite World War III with a [[fake news]] story sourced to a "senior U.S. intelligence official."<ref>https://scheerpost.com/2022/11/18/why-is-ap-still-protecting-the-source-behind-its-false-russia-bombed-poland-story/</ref>]]<br />
On November 15, 2022, two Ukrainian [[S-300]] missiles, alleged to have been launched to shoot down a Russian [[cruise missile]], were fired westward and hit a Polish grain storage facility, killing two civilians. The Polish government, Ukrainian government, the ''[[Associated Press]]'',<ref>https://apnews.com/article/nato-ap-news-alert-europe-poland-government-and-politics-ba48101fd25c86e68e57dc56fe2adf80</ref> most of all Western propaganda media and so-called national security and intelligence experts called for invoking NATO Article 5 for war with Russia.<ref>https://twitter.com/anders_aslund/status/1592616431291535360</ref> Zelensky advisor [[Mykhailo Podolyak]] declared that the strikes came from Russia. Ukrainian foreign minister [[Dmytro Kuleba]] claimed Russian denials were a [[conspiracy theory]] and that “No one should buy Russian propaganda or amplify its messages."<ref>https://twitter.com/DmytroKuleba/status/1592632386751434752?s=20&t=TtnVQsVODlidTZoknWqWpg</ref> Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted that the “Russian attack on collective security in the Euro-Atlantic is a significant escalation” beyond the localized conflict in Ukraine.<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/15/world/kyiv-strikes-russia-zelensky-peace-intl/index.html</ref><br />
<br />
However an AWAC radar plane and other ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) aircraft regularly flying in the region, and ground radar, tracked the missiles' trajectory and determined the Kyiv regime had launched the missiles. That did not prevent an anonymous "senior U.S. intelligence official" from reporting to the ''Associated Press'' that Russia had fired the missiles at Poland. The [[fake news]] story was disseminated globally, as all fake news stories emanating from Kyiv, and its CIA counterparts in Kyiv, have been disseminated globally to world media for the entirety of 2022 and late 2021.<br />
<br />
When called out on the [[lie]]s,<ref>https://youtu.be/PY8P3ET-Q7E</ref> Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky doubled down. Both socialist premier Joe Biden and NATO chief warlord Jens Stoltenberg blamed Ukraine for the attack. Zelensky refuted the Western leaders' statements that the missile which killed two innocent civilians in Poland was Ukrainian. "I have no doubt that it was not our missile or our missile strike." Zelensky insisted that he received reports from the corrupt Armed Forces of Ukraine command that told him the missile attacks did not come from Ukraine, he told the people in a live nationwide address on Ukrainian state-controlled media.<ref>https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/11/16/7376663/</ref> The [[Russophobic]] ''Financial Times'' of [[London]] quoted a [[diplomat]] from a NATO country in Kyiv saying: “This is getting ridiculous. The Ukrainians are destroying [our] [[confidence]] in them. Nobody is blaming Ukraine and they are openly lying. This is more destructive than the [[missile]].”<ref>https://archive.ph/mxQ5K#selection-2029.34-2029.282</ref><br />
<br />
The official cover story eventually became the Ukrainian missile fell in Poland because the S-300 system is unreliable and obsolete Soviet-era junk. However, despite its vulnerabilities to detection and being destroyed by an enemy attacking force, the S-300 remains a formidable missile defense weapon, unmatched by the U.S. [[Patriot Missile]] defense system. It's later versions, S-400 and S-500 are unrivaled globally as the most effective missile systems available in the opening decades of the 21st century.<br />
<br />
====NATO's nuclear escalation====<br />
[[File:UK depleted uranium.PNG|right|300px|thumb|On March 20, 2023, it was announced the UK was supplying nuclear weapons to Ukraine.<ref>https://declassifieduk.org/britain-supplying-depleted-uranium-rounds-to-ukraine/</ref>]]<br />
On January 25, 2023, Konstantin Gavrilov, the head of the Russian delegation to the Vienna Negotiations on Military Security and Arms Control, warned: <br />
{{quotebox-float|“We know that [[Leopard 2]] tanks, as well as Bradley and Marder armored fighting vehicles, can use [[depleted uranium]] shells, which can contaminate terrain, just like it happened in [[Yugoslavia]] and [[Iraq]]...If Kiev were to be supplied with such munitions for the use in western heavy military hardware, we would regard it as the use of ‘[[dirty nuclear bomb]]s’ against Russia, with all the consequences that entails.”}}<br />
Depleted uranium is a very dense metal, ideal to be used on projectiles because of its mass, and also because it ignites at around 600 degrees Celsius; it can penetrate an armoured vehicle and incinerate the crew once it enters the cabin. As a block or a projectile, the material can be handled with no health consequences, but when it ignites or explodes, it's turned into dust, then, it can be inhaled or ingested by live creatures and it wreaks havoc in the internal organs, creating a very large number of cancerous lesions and genetic malformations. That is why it is considered a very dangerous polluting material, same as a dirty bomb.<br />
<br />
The use of depleted uranium shells was developed by the United States in the 1980s. The Russian military made the decision at that time not to follow suit and compete by developing depleted uranium as a battlefield weapon because of its long lasting environmental and health effects. Existing tactical nuclear weapons were considered a sufficient deterrent to what is essentially a nuclear dirty bomb used by NATO and the United States.<br />
<br />
On March 20, 2023, Annabel Goldie, the British Minister of State for Defence, declared that her country would provide depleted uranium munitions to the Kyiv regime.<ref>https://youtu.be/vSG_3cduRLA</ref> In response, President Vladimir Putin reported on March 25 that the decision had been made to deploy a tactical nuclear weapon on the territory of Belarus by July 1, 2023, to reduce flight time against NATO aggressors.<br />

{{quotebox-float|"Russia will continue to raise the issue of the need to investigate US activities in the field of biological research, including in the UN structures.

<br />
What is known today from the materials that were discovered during the special military operation in Ukraine? The biolaboratories were formally under the jurisdiction of the Central Sanitary and Epidemiological Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, but Americans were placed as curators everywhere. In fact, pathogens of dangerous diseases were tested on the local genotype (Slavic). At the same time, pathogens were created that, most likely, they tried to make resistant to commercial [[vaccine]]s or [[antibiotic]]s. There were about 30 such laboratories in total, 13 of them had a very high level of protection.<br />
<br />
Against this background, according to experts, in recent years Ukraine has turned into some incomprehensible hotbed of old and new diseases. For example, we all remember that [[measles]] was defeated in the [[USSR]]. But in 2005-2007, measles returned to Ukraine, moreover, in the form of an [[epidemic]], and until 2021 it was present as a significant disease. [[WHO]] even named Ukraine the capital of measles.<br />
<br />
A similar situation was with cholera. The last cases of cholera were registered in the country in the 90s, but in 2011 33 people fell ill with cholera in Mariupol, in 2014 there were already 800 people, in 2015-2017 more than 100 cases were recorded annually in Nikolaev.<br />
<br />
Further more interesting: in 2009 Ternopil, 450 Ukrainians suffered from a virus that causes hemorrhagic pneumonia, which has never been present in the north of [[Eurasia]], this [[virus]] is characteristically noted in Equatorial Africa. How he got there is a big question.<br />

An American military aircraft was seen in the emergency area with the Russian cruiser ''Moskva''. The ''Moskva'' was near Odessa, closer to Romania. The ''Moskva'' was eqiuiped with a new phased array locator with illumination range is 500 km. At about 19 pm, an American military patrol and reconnaissance anti-submarine aircraft of the [[US Navy]] was spotted in the western part of Romanian airspace. The latter was located approximately 70 kilometers from the location of the Russian missile cruiser ''Moskva''. According to data available to the Avia.pro news agency, a US military patrol reconnaissance and anti-submarine Boeing P-8A Poseidon aircraft was in the eastern part of Romanian airspace, flying with an unknown target. According to a number of data, the flight of the Boeing RC-135 aircraft was also carried out, however, the latter could not be tracked by the [https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ ADS-B Exchange] resource. According to the ADS-B Exchange resource, the American Boeing P-8 Poseidon aircraft with the ICAO identification code AE681B was flying near the Zhurilovka settlement (Romania). However, due to the transponder periodically turned off by the crew, experts do not exclude that the bird could also fly over the western part of the Black Sea, where, according to preliminary information, the Russian missile cruiser ''Moskva'' was located. What kind of information could be collected by the American military reconnaissance aircraft Boeing P-8 Poseidon is still unknown, however, judging by the data presented, the bird was still in the air at 21 hours and 17 minutes.<ref>https://avia-pro.net/news/v-rayone-chp-s-rossiyskim-kreyserom-moskva-byl-zamechen-amerikanskiy-voennyy-samolyot</ref> The reaction of public opinion in the Russian Federation to the interference and provocation by the United States and killing of their sailors was one of outrage, and demanding that their government and leaders take appropriate action.<br />

[[File:Hodges 12-20-23.PNG|right|300px|thumb|[[Nazi Germany]] suffered more deaths from 1944 to May 1945 than in the previous four and half years.]]<br />
In December 2023 the former commander of US troops in Europe (EUCOM), Gen. [[Ben Hodges]], said an interview with the Australian YouTuber Perun,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9CBdzpZEmw&t=294s</ref> "Ukraine must copy the methods of [[Nazi Germany]] in 1944 to fight Russia". In October 1944, when Germany called up all men aged 14 to 65 years and some volunteer groups of [[women]], Germany's resource potential and talented elite, ambitious personnel had already been killed, and Ukraine was also experiencing this by 2023. It should not be forgotten that from September 1939 to July 1944, Germany lost 3.5 million soldiers, and the next 10 months formed the bloodiest and most cataclysmic years of the war by far. Hodges argued,<br />
{{quotebox-float|"They are gonna have to increase production of ammunition and weapons in Ukraine...Some of these things are already happening, but it is possible when you are at war to increase production, even with Russian missiles raining down on your cities. I mean, think about what Germany did in 1944. Aircraft production for the [[Luftwaffe]] peaked in 1944. That's after more than two years of steady bombing by the Royal Air Force and the US Army Air Corps bombing the hell out of German cities. But yet German aircraft production increased. So I think Ukraine can do that with some improving efficiency. Some [[Western alliance|Western]] companies are already there helping."}}<br />
Luftwaffe aircraft production in 1944 in fact was achieved with [[slave]] labor, comprised of [[Jew]]s, [[Gypsies]] and [[Soviet]] [[POW]]s. [[Operation Bagration]], fought between June 22 and August 19, 1944, in Soviet [[Belarus]], just over two weeks after the [[Normandy Invasion]], the [[Red Army]] destroyed 28 of 34 divisions of the German Army Group Centre and completely shattered the German front line.

On September 7, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the Nord Stream II pipeline could be reopened "tomorrow" to alleviate Europe's impending winter heating fuel crisis.

On November 9, 2021, ''Ottawa Citizen'' military reporter David Pugliese revealed that when [[Canadian]] military officials met with the neo-Nazi [[Azov Battalion]] in June 2018, they knew the group used the Nazi “Wolfsangel” symbol and praised officials who helped slaughter [[Jews]] and [[Polish|Poles]] during World War II. “A year before the meeting,” reports Pugliese, "Canada’s Joint Task Force Ukraine produced a briefing on the Azov Battalion, acknowledging its links to Nazi ideology."<ref>https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/canadian-officials-who-met-with-ukrainian-unit-linked-to-neo-nazis-feared-exposure-by-news-media-documents</ref> Rather than express public disagreement with their views, Canadian military officials sought to manage any potential public relations fallout from at least two meetings, which included Azov representatives boasting about their Canadian support.<br />

Since U.S. and Canadian backed ultranationalists overthrew [[democracy|democratically]] elected President [[Viktor Yanukovych]] in the 2014 Maidan coup, Canadian politicians have spoken alongside and marched with Canadian members of Ukraine's [[Pravy Sektor]],<ref>http://theleftchapter.blogspot.com/2016/09/what-is-far-right-organisation-right.html</ref> which said it was “defending the values of white, Christian Europe against the loss of the nation and deregionalisation.”<ref>https://mondediplo.com/2014/03/02ukraine</ref> Pravy Sektor has been implicated in the [[Odessa Trade Unions House massacre]] wherein at least 46 ethnic Russians were burnt alive by Maidan fascists. The black and red flag of Pravy Sektor is based on the Nazi-era "bloods and soil" flag. <br />
<br />
Alongside the U.S., Canada has funded, equipped and trained the neo-Nazi infiltrated National Police of Ukraine (NPU), which was founded after the democratically Yanukovych was overthrown. A former deputy commander of the Azov Battalion, Vadim Troyan had a series of senior positions in the NPU, including acting chief.<ref>https://yvesengler.com/2020/03/01/neo-nazis-arrest-highlights-ottawas-support-for-ukrainian-far-right/</ref><br />

Efraim Zuroff, the Director of the [[Simon Wiesenthal|Simon Wiesenthal Center]] in [[Israel]], denounced Canadian troops for training neo-Nazi fighters in Ukraine, saying Ottawa has a responsibility to prevent such things from happening. “The Government of Canada did not exercise due diligence” Ephraim Zuroff told ''Citizen'' of Ottawa. “There is no doubt that there are neo-Nazis in Ukraine in various forms, whether in the Azov Regiment or other organizations."<ref>https://www.b92.net/eng/news/world.php?yyyy=2022&mm=04&dd=14&nav_id=113531</ref><br />

A celebrated Canadian sniper nicknamed Wali who served in [[Afghanistan]] answered Zelensky's call for mercenaries with much fanfare and signed a three-year contract in early March 2022,<ref>https://youtu.be/HofYk2KPLTQ</ref> according to the [[CBC]]. By May, Wali broke his contract with the Kyiv regime, deserted, and returned to Canada without adding any kills to his reputation after seeing two Ukrainians blown apart by a tank shell.<ref>https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/ukraine-russia-canadian-forces-1.6443048</ref><br />
<br />
Other Canadian mercenaries tell how at one point they discovered one of the Ukrainians had a tattoo on his hand of a “black sun,” a symbol used by the SS in Nazi Germany and sometimes by the Neo-fascist movement. “My friend James who was there literally spat on the ground in front of him … and said ‘this is everything our grandfathers fought against in the Second World War.’”<ref>https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/turmoil-for-norman-brigade-canadian-led-foreign-battalion-in-ukraine</ref><br />

According to ''RIA Novosti'', British officers were abruptly redeployed to Kyiv on February 24, 2022 to command defense of the city from a headquarters set up in a school. “A source in the Ukrainian Armed Forces said that after a swift offensive by a group of Russian troops on February 24 against Kiev, the British, who were assisting with intelligence to the ATO headquarters in Kramatorsk, moved to Kiev to lead the city’s defence from a headquarters based at school No 72″, – he said.<ref>https://en.news-front.info/2022/05/13/british-officers-already-working-in-kramatorsk-12-days-before-russian-special-operation-in-ukraine-begins/</ref><br />

According to ''Declassified UK'', British Special Forces were seen to be operating in Ukraine by a [[Poland|Polish]] minister at the start of the [[Special Military Operation]].<ref>[https://www.declassifieduk.org/polish-minister-saw-uk-special-forces-operating-in-ukraine/ POLISH MINISTER ‘SAW UK SPECIAL FORCES OPERATING IN UKRAINE’], PHIL MILLER, ''Declassified UK'', 6 DECEMBER 2023. www.declassifieduk.org</ref> The Polish minister said: "On the first day of the war, we realised that there were [Polish] commandos – from the Lubliniec Military Commando Unit – in Brovary near Kyiv. They, together with the Americans and the British, had been building special forces for the Ukrainians since 2014, that is, since the [[annexation of Crimea]] and the [[Donbas war|war against separatism in the Donbass]].” Their presence caused concern that NATO soldiers could be caught up in the invasion, prompting various officials to request their withdrawal. However, a high ranking Polish officer said: “They, instead of returning to [[Poland]] on the first day of the war, went in the opposite direction. Among others, to [[Kharkiv]], but also to cities in the Donbass, which the Ukrainians controlled. They cooperated with the British.”<br />
<br />
Initially these NATO soldiers focused on helping with evacuations, however their presence in Kharkiv is potentially more significant. ''Declassified UK'' reported how veterans of Ukraine's [[neo-Nazi]] [[Azov movement]] were the first fighters to receive British-supplied NLAWs.<ref>https://www.declassifieduk.org/revealed-russian-neo-nazi-leader-obtained-uk-missiles-in-ukraine/</ref> Photos posted on [[social media]] showed “instructors from NATO countries” coaching men how to use the rocket launchers.

[[File:Hypersonic missile attack.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Aftermath of a hypersonic missile attack on NATO mercenary training and command center at [[Yavoriv]], March 12, 2022]]<br />
Leaked documents revealed that British military-intelligence organizations were training a guerrilla army of 'stay behind' sabotage groups to attack Russian military and civilian targets in Crimea. The investigative news website ''The Grayzone'' named the key players working with the [[Security Service of Ukraine]] (SBU) in [[Odessa]] to set up the covert force.<ref>https://thegrayzone.com/2022/11/03/british-spies-terror-army-ukraine/</ref> They include military consultant Hugh Ward, who works for private security firm Rezolutionz, [[MI6]] veteran Guy Spindler, former Lithuanian defense minister Audrius Butkevicius and veteran intelligence agent Chris Donnelly. ''The Grayzone'' also reported that British private military contractor Prevail Partners, founded by former Royal Marines Brigadier and Special Boat Service (SBS) commander Justin Hedges and other ex-commandoes, had been hired to train the new [[guerrilla]] force.<br />
<br />
''The Greyzone'' reported Spindler and Butkevicius lobbied governments to ramp up funding for the program. Internal emails seen by the site asked: "will [[Uncle Sam]] pay for this?" while a "costed proposal" to the British Ministry of Defense had been "turned down for risk reasons."<br />
<br />
Alex Finnen, of the British army Specialist Group Military Intelligence section of the 77 Brigade cyber-warfare centre and the Foreign Office's Russia Unit, said in one email from March 2022 that the proposal — tendered at $600,000 per insurgent per year — was “very expensive for what it is,” although the firm was in a "seller's market". “I suspect that they have taken the first figure they thought of and then doubled it. So, there needs to be more discussion as to how and what these people are going to do,” Finnen wrote. “Partisans live in and amongst the people. That suggests that you need people from across Ukraine, in small teams to take part as Prevail suggest ‘oblast by oblast’. How are they going to achieve this?”<br />
<br />
Justin Hedges claimed that his firm could do a much better job by training 40-strong groups in guerrilla warfare tactics. He said funding could be “provided by flowing ‘donations’ through Prevail's established [[NGO]], Rhizome Insights Ltd,” without leaving a clear trail from governments to the mercenary firm.<br />
<br />
Russia accused the UK of complicity in the September 26, 2022 bombing of the [[Nord Stream]] pipelines across the [[Baltic Sea]], the October 8, 2022 truck bombing of the [[Kerch Strait bridge]] to Crimea and the October 29, 2022 attack on the Crimean port of [[Sevastopol]] with seven marine and nine aerial drones. Other incidents in the Crimean peninsula are suspected to be the work of covert units, including an explosion at a military airfield in August 2022 and an attack using a small drone to drop explosives.<br />

On March 26, 2022, two officers of the main department of external security of the Ministry of Defense of the French Republic (DGSE) flying by helicopter were shot down by [[Russian]] forces while on a mission to withdraw fighters from the [[Battle of Mariupol]].<ref>https://avia--pro-net.translate.goog/news/na-ukraine-sbit-vertolyot-s-oficerami-francuzskoy-razvedki-dgse</ref> The two were immediately taken prisoner by the Russians. According to reports by both a Russian and Ukrainian source, French soldiers from the Special Operations Command were in Mariupol side by side with the Azov Nazis. Troops attached to the Special Operations Command are under the orders of Chief of the Defense Staff, General Thierry Burkhard, but they receive their orders directly from the Chief of the Armed Forces, President Emmanuel Macron. On March 31, 2022, General Eric Vidaud, the head of the Direction of Military Intelligence (DRM), was fired.<ref>https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2022/03/31/frances-intelligence-chief-failed-predict-invasion-step-immediately/</ref><br />

However, France-2 omitted to mention its other founder, [[Dmytro Yarosh]], who during the Russia-Ukraine war was Adviser to the [[Commander-in-Chief]] of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).<br />
<br />
The French channel referred to an old United Nations report documenting systematic torture in [[Donbas]], but it neglected to mention either the Azov Battalion's special prisons uncovered by the Russian army,<ref>https://thesaker.is/former-sbu-employee-revealed-information-about-secret-prisons-in-donbass-and-kievs-involvement-in-downing-mh17/</ref> or statements issued by the UN in this regard. France-2 also failed to explain the weight of the [[Banderite]]s in [[Ukrainian nationalist]] history, reducing the prominence of the neo-Nazis to brandishing the [[swastika]]. France-2 reported the threat to be between 3,000 and 5,000 men, while ''[[Reuters]]'' reported the paramilitary [[Banderite]]s number to be 102,000 men, split into several militias incorporated within the [[Territorial Defense]].<br />

Exactly the same kinds of attacks regularly faced Russian missions on the territory of Ukraine until 2022 - including the Russian Consulate General in Lvov in December 2021."

Scholz responded to the Ukrainian government's chief representative in Germany, “You can’t do that.

=====Sleepwalking into war=====<br />
Hans-Georg Maassen, who headed Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Germany's domestic security agency from 2012 to 2018, warned his fellow citizens on May 25, 2022, that Germany was “sleepwalking” into war with Russia. Maassen cited on TV Berlin's ‘Special’ program a ruling by the [[International Court of Justice]] that the supply of weapons to one of the warring parties in a conflict makes the supplier a party to the conflict, too.<br />
<br />
The former intelligence chief argued that, contrary to what the German media says, “Ukraine is not a bastion of human rights, of freedom, peace and Western values.” Massen was terrified by the lack of public discussion on this issue, telling viewers:<br />

Germany's decision to send [[Leopard 2]] tanks to Ukraine is extremely dangerous and takes the conflict to a new level of confrontation, the Russian Embassy in [[Berlin]] said on January 25, 2023. The embassy said Germany was abandoning its “historical responsibility to Russia” arising from [[Nazi]] [[war crimes]] in [[World War Two]]. The embassy said that the decision would escalate the conflict to a new level. “This extremely dangerous decision takes the conflict to a new level of confrontation and contradicts the statements of German politicians about the unwillingness of the Federal Republic of Germany to be drawn into it,” Ambassador Sergey Nechayev said.<ref>https://youtu.be/psl5tSj_sRo</ref><br />

===Poland===<br />
<br />
During the Russia-Ukraine war, the Polish Sejm or Senate passed a resolution 418 to 4 demanding [[reparations]] from Poland's NATO ally [[Germany]]. The resolution stated that "the Republic of Poland has never received compensation for the numerous human and material losses caused by the German state." The resolution claims that Warsaw has never renounced its claims against Berlin. "The allegation that these claims have been withdrawn or ceased to be relevant over the years has no basis, neither moral nor legal." Authorities in Warsaw said they were demanding $1.3 trillion from Berlin as reparations for damage from World War II.<ref>https://eadaily.com/ru/news/2022/09/15/seym-polshi-prinyal-rezolyuciyu-s-trebovaniem-reparaciy-ot-frg</ref><br />

<br />
In accessing NATO's loss in Ukraine, former deputy chief of the General Staff of the Polish Army Gen. Leon Komornitsky said, "In a situation where the Ukrainian army did not have the specific capabilities necessary to conduct a counteroffensive, all elements of the art of war were violated."<br />
<br />
Poland is the country [[Washington, D.C.]] holds up as NATO’s model member and the frontline state on [[Belarus]] and [[Ukraine]]. Under Poland’s constitution the [[president]] is the supreme commander of the armed forces. Poland’s president and its [[prime minister]] by late 2026 were accusing each other of a [[coup]]. Who gives the order to deploy in that situation? Does a Polish soldier know whose order to follow? A country with two constitutional courts appointed by two opposing leaders is not preparing to project power in [[Ukraine]] or against [[Russia]]. It is trying to hold itself together.<br />

The Polish new site ''Niezaleizny Dziennik Polityczny'' reported on November 23, 2022:<br />
{{quotebox-float|'''A shameful end. American quarters for Polish mercenaries.'''<br><br />
<br />
In early November, the regional media announced plans to create burials similar to American war cemeteries in Olsztyn. The reports sparked a wave of indignation, both among the city's residents and Poles across the country. "This is a necropolis for Poles? We are from a different culture ”this is how indignant users in social media reacted to the strange ideas of the city council.<br />
...<br />
The municipal cemetery in Dywity is the main necropolis in Olsztyn and covers over 35 ha. Today it is loud about it all over Poland, because soon it will look like a war cemetery in the USA. It has to be like in an American movie. A large lawn with identical tombstones on it. Without trees, benches, angels bending over the dead. The tombstones will be the same, they will only differ in color. Their manufacturers provided for only three: black, gray and red-brown.<br />
<br />
The main reason for the creation of the American cemetery in Olsztyn was the drastically increased number of burials in the region, mainly soldiers' graves.<br />
<br />
This situation has become a real problem for the local government of Olsztyn, where the 16th Pomeranian Mechanized Division is stationed. Almost daily military funerals combined with volleys of honor began to irritate the residents and provoked numerous questions to the city administration and the command of the 16th Division. To avoid additional publicity of the problem, the authorities decided to create a separate "American" cemetery.<br />
...<br />
After the outbreak of the war in Ukraine in February this year, President Andrzej Duda and Minister of National Defense Mariusz Błaszczak officially called on Poles to join the ranks of mercenaries and fight on the side of the Kiev regime. Among the fighters who went to war were professional soldiers of the 16th Mechanized Division and veterans of the unit living in the region.<br />
<br />
During the 10 months of bloody fighting, according to information from publicly available sources, over 1,200 Polish citizens died in Ukraine, including soldiers and veterans of the 16th PDZ. The number of injured and maimed people also amounts to several thousand.<ref>https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/11/ukraine-war-a-contentious-graveyard-in-poland.html#more</ref>}}<br />
In January 2023 the Polish Ministry of Defense reported 15,900 professional soldiers resigned from the Army and Polish Territorial Defense in 2022. This compares with 6,000 resignations the previous year of 2021.<ref>https://www.rp.pl/wojsko/art37865691-marek-kozubal-fala-odejsc-z-wojska-mon-nie-widzi-problemu</ref> Many signed up for U.S.-funded mercenary activity in Ukraine after their official resignations.<br />
<br />
===Romania===<br />
On November 26, 2019, according to ''Radio Liberty'', NATO "showed off" its [[Aegis Ashore]] nuclear missile system in [[Romania]].<ref>https://www.rferl.org/a/nato-shows-off-missile-base-in-romania-calling-it-purely-defensive-/30291193.html</ref><br />
<br />
On April 12, 2022, a column of NATO military equipment was spotted in Romania moving in the direction of the border with Ukraine.<br />
<br />
Russian sources reported that the Polish Armed Forces established a strike group on the territory of Romania. The total contingent is estimated at up to 8,000 servicemen. A consolidated contingent is planned to enter Moldovan territory under a plausible pretext, such as a humanitarian operation or an official government request.<br />
<br />
As NATO prepared to invade Transnistria, women in the bordering city of Khust (pop. 28,000) threw stones at the Ukrainian military registration office on April 30, 2022, tried to break into the building, and demanded that their husbands and sons be returned home from the frontline.<ref>https://youtu.be/cGsxgfbYucw</ref><br />
<br />
On May 25, 2022, The Romanian Ministry of Defense announced that France would deploy a special air defense unit in Romania at the Capu-Midia military base in the Constanta district.<ref>https://www.thedefensepost.com/2022/05/25/france-mamba-air-defense-romania/</ref><br />
<br />
On May 26, 2022, Polish military equipment was spotted in the Romanian town of Brielle. The town is located near the Ukrainian and Moldovan borders. In addition, Polish troops have been spotted on the border between Romania and Moldova.<br />
<br />
On September 17, 2022, former Romanian Education Minister Andrei Marga declared: "We are in a very special situation here, and I take this with all responsibility, Ukraine exists in unnatural borders…It should cede [[Transcarpathia]] to Hungary, [[Galicia]] to Poland, Bukovina to Romania, Donbass and Crimea to Russia…These are the territories of other countries."<ref>https://azlyrics.com.az/lyrics/ex-minister-of-foreign-affairs-of-romania-called-the-borders-of-ukraine-unnatural/</ref><br />
<br />
On October 24, 2022, Romanian Defense Minister Vasile Dincu resigned saying he could not collaborate with the country's NATO puppet president.<ref>https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/romanian-defence-minister-resigns-pressured-after-ukraine-comment-2022-10-24/</ref><br />

On November 23, 2022 [[Spain]] announced it would send 8 F-18 and 130 troops to Romania in December 2022.<ref>https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/spain-send-troops-f-18-fighter-jets-romania-december-pm-says-2022-11-23/</ref><br />
<br />
On February 10, 2023, Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky and top military commander [[Valerii Zaluzhnyi]] both issued deceptive media postings alleging that Russian missiles had violated NATO ally Romania's air space. Romania's military put out its own statement denying that allegation. “The closest point of the target's trajectory to Romania's airspace was recorded by radar systems approximately 35 kilometers North-East of the border,” Romanian officials said.<ref>https://www.army.md/?lng=3&action=show&cat=122&obj=8026</ref><br />
<br />
===Belgium===<br />
Despite the fact that both [[Belgium]] and the UK are NATO members, in late 2022 a dispute developed between the two nations over the transfer of crucial technology that is essential for sustaining the British nuclear deterrent. Concerns inside the Belgian government that Britain has threatened to cancel the arms deal for machineguns built in Belgium by FN Herstal worth up to £514.90 million (€600 million) unless the export is approved. The ruling coalition of Belgium, which includes the [[Green party]], blocked the shipment of a specialized isostatic press that was required to sustain Britain's nuclear weapons. The American-Belgian company EPSI in [[Antwerp]] manufactures the technology, a specialized high-pressure isostatic press used in the nuclear sector to handle radioactive waste.<br />

In late March 2022 NATO asked Denmark to send a battalion of 800 soldiers to Latvia to bolster the military alliance's eastern flank.<br />
<br />
On May 23, 2022, it was announced that [[Denmark]] would provide an unspecified number of US-made Harpoon anti-ship missiles and launchers to Ukraine—a report quickly followed by American defense experts noting: “The Harpoons don't do anything to solve Russia's submarine anti-ship capabilities or its anti-ship missile capabilities that absolutely dwarf Ukraine's, even with the Harpoons, and those of NATO, for that matter…The Black Sea is one of the densest anti-ship missile engagement zones on earth, and Russia is the player with the preeminent arsenal with many types of anti-ship missiles deployed on its ships, coastal areas, and aircraft."<ref>https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/harpoon-anti-ship-missiles-headed-to-ukraine-from-denmark</ref> Denmark's supply of US-made Harpoon anti-ship missiles to Ukraine to fight the Russian Black Sea Fleet sent off alarm bells in the Kremlin, revealing the non-humanitarian goals of NATO's "coalition of the willing" for provocative engagements with Russia's Black Sea fleet.<br />
<br />
On June 21, 2022, Danish troops in Latvia complained about a lack of [[underwear]] and other necessary supplies;<ref>https://archive.ph/ItAA6</ref> China, which is aligned with Russia, is the world's largest manufacturer of underwear. The soldiers also complained that they had no ammunition.<br />

===Slovakia===<br />
<br />
In February 2022, 44% of people surveyed in [[Slovakia]] blamed NATO and the US for the tension on the Ukrainian borders, while only 33% blamed Russia. An early poll found that 45% wanted [[Slovakia]] out of NATO. <br />
[[File:No NATO Slovakia.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Slovaks protesting against NATO membership.]]<br />
Slovakia possesses the Russian made S-300 missile defense system. When it acquired the system, it signed binding end user agreements with Moscow not to transfer the system. On March 17, 2022, NATO threatened to transfer the system to the Kyiv regime. Russian foreign secretary [[Sergey Lavrov]] made clear on March 18, 2022, that NATO's continued weapon smuggling system into Ukraine to prolong the conflict and cause needless deaths of more people would make NATO weapon convoys "fair game".<ref>https://www.theepochtimes.com/russia-vows-to-block-transfer-of-s-300-missile-system-to-ukraine-says-targeting-arms-shipments-fair-game_4346213.html</ref><br />
<br />
The outdated [[S-300]] missile system that Slovakia "donated" to Ukraine, in violation of a contractual agreement with Russia, was destroyed 2 days later. The S-300 system has been replaced by the [[S-400]] and 500 systems. Slovakia now will receive, free of charge courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer and [[military industrial complex]], the latest in U.S. missile defense technology.<br />

Slovakia's proposal to restrict food exports was met with consternation by the [[European Commission]], threatening cohesion of the European Union.<ref>https://tfiglobalnews.com/2022/05/14/slovakias-food-is-for-slovakians-slovakias-trade-restrictions-leave-eu-fuming/</ref><br />
<br />
A survey conducted in September 2022 by the Slovak Academy of Sciences found more than half of Slovaks favored [[Russia]] to win the war in Ukraine, while leas than one-third favorized NATO/Ukraine. An early poll found that 45% wanted Slovakia out of NATO. A survey conducted in the summer of 2021 showed that 55% of Slovaks had a favorable opinion of Russian [[President Vladimir Putin]].<ref>https://anti-empire.com/most-slovaks-want-russia-to-win-ukraine-war/</ref><br />

In February 2022, 44% of people blamed NATO and the US for the tension on the Ukrainian borders, while only 33% blamed Russia.<br />
<br />
[[Robert Fico]] said in August 2023, "War always comes from [[the West]] and peace from the East....What’s happening today is useless slaughter...They are emptying military warehouses to force countries to buy more American weapons."<ref>[https://archive.ph/ffgws Who is Robert Fico? Pro-Russia populist is favored in Slovakia elections]. Loveday Morris and Ladka Bauerova, ''Washington Post]]'', September 29, 2023.</ref><br />
<br />
On the eve of the 2023 elections, [[CNBC]] reported "Fico and his party have more recently embraced socially [[conservative]], [[nationalist]] and anti-[[immigration]] rhetoric, and his stance on [[Ukraine]] has been extreme compared to his EU counterparts...That has included blaming “[[Ukrainian Nazi]]s and [[fascist]]s” for the start of the direct [[Donbas war|conflict between Ukraine and Russia in 2014]]; accusing Slovakia’s president of being a U.S. agent; describing the EU as a “war machine under the influence of the USA”, and arguing weapons deliveries to Ukraine have undermined Slovak [[sovereignty]]".<ref>[https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/29/robert-fico-slovakias-election-could-further-fracture-ukraine-support-.html A populist leader, sympathetic to Putin’s Russia, could be about to win elections in Slovakia], Jenni Reid, CNBC, SEP 29 20231</ref> Fico and his party won election on the slogan, "Not a single round" in ammunition to Ukraine feeding NATO and the Western powers' warmongering bloodlust. American election meddling in a "sovereign, democratic state" failed to prevent Fico's win.<ref>[https://korybko.substack.com/p/american-meddling-failed-to-prevent American Meddling Failed To Prevent Robert Fico’s Victory In The Latest Slovak Elections], [[ANDREW KORYBKO]], OCT 1, 2023</ref> Fico immediately announced, "My people have bigger problems than Ukraine. We will do everything we can to start peace negotiations as quickly as possible. Further killing does not benefit anyone."<br />
<br />
Deputy speaker of the Slovak parliament, Lubas Blaha, said about arms supplies to Ukraine in early 2024: "It was [[the West]] that advanced to Russia's borders through [[NATO expansion]] into Ukraine and organized the [[Maidan]]. It was the West that watched as [[Ukrainian Nazi]] battalions killed people in [[Donbass]] or [[Odessa Trade Unions House massacre|burned people in Odessa]]. It is not right that two [[Slavic]] nations are at [[war]] and [[Military industrial complex|American arms companies]] are making [[money]] from it."<br />
<br />
During a video message in early March 2024 Fico addressed the citizens of the country and said that the Italian government had urgently withdrawn the air defense system SAMP-T from Slovakia, which the Italians had lent to Slovaks in 2022 to protect nuclear power plants and other strategically important facilities. The Italian government explained its decision by saying that this air defense system urgently needs to be deployed elsewhere in Europe. This decision by the so-called NATO allies provoked the anger of the Slovak government, making the sky in Slovakia remained completely defenseless. In early 2022, the United States forced Slovakia to transfer to Ukraine the country's only [[S-300]] air defense system, which Russia had transferred to Slovakia in the 1990s to protect the country's nuclear power plants. Ukrainian forces had been trained and were more familiar with the S-300 systems. The Americans promised the Slovaks to transfer the [[Patriot missile]] air defense system. A year later, by the spring of 2023, it became clear that the Americans would not fulfill their promise since all available Patriot systems were also transferred to Ukraine. Instead, the NATO leadership decided to give Slovakia the Franco-Italian air defense system SAMP-T. At that time, Slovak Defense Minister Jaroslav Nagy, who by 2024 was voted out of office, stated that the NATO alliance was only thinking about the common security of all NATO member countries. However, the previous Slovak government was mistaken, and NATO absolutely does not care about Slovakia, which NATO left without air defense systems.<br />
<br />
Prime Minister Robert Fico was seriously wounded on May 15, 2024, by a Slovak [[Nazi]], Juraj Cintula. According to the portal of the [[Hungarian]]-language daily published in [[Bratislava]], Juraj Cintula<ref>"Juraj" is pronounced like "George" in English</ref> is a committed sympathizer of the anti-Russian paramilitary group Slovenskí Branci (SB).<ref>[https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0281503#:~:text=Slovensk%C3%AD%20Branci%20is%20the%20first%20serious%2C%20relatively%20large%2C,and%20Michal%20Feling%29%20remain%20in%20the%20group%20today.

The paramilitary group's [[Facebook]] page lists him as a writer and publicist, and several of his writings have been published.<br />
<br />
In his writings, Cintula criticized the Slovak state and its acceptance of refugees from [[NATO wars]] and openly supported the [[fascist]] paramilitary organization. The group held commemorations in uniform at the grave of [[Jozef Tiso]], the president of the Nazi-allied [[fascist]] puppet state between 1938 and 1945, the First Slovak Republic. The group's logo is a modified version borrowed from the [[Hitler Youth]] logo.<ref>[https://www.aktuality.sk/clanok/487974/slovenski-branci-sa-v-case-vzniku-inspirovali-znakom-hitlerjugend/ At the time of its establishment, Slovak Conscripts were inspired by the emblem of the Hitler Jugend], 15.

<br />
===Czechia===<br />
On April 5, 2022, it was reported that [[Czechia]] supplied Ukraine with infantry fighting vehicles and [[T-72]] tanks.<ref>https://twitter.com/CT24zive/status/1511315385173393415</ref> <br />
<br />
In addition to tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, the Czech Republic sent more than 20 RM-70 [[MLRS]] to Ukraine, which indicates a clear escalation from NATO. Multiple rocket launchers are a Czechoslovak/Czech variant of the Soviet BM-21 Grad rocket system, which has some peculiarities. Providing Ukraine with such a large number of offensive weapons indicates not only the fact that [[Prague]] supports Kyiv, but also that the Czech Republic is interested in aggravating the situation and confronting Russia. According to official data, there are about 60 RM-70 multiple launch rocket systems in service with the Czech Republic.{{fact}} At the same time, there are so far unconfirmed data that, in addition to the installations themselves, several hundred ammunition were transferred to Ukraine.<br />
<br />
On December 5, 2022, in an interview with Michal Strnad, owner of CSG, ''Reuters'' reported that it would take 10–15 years to refill Western stocks of artillery ammunition depleted to support the Ukraine's army. CSG is responsible for about 25-30% of European output of NATO-standard 155mm artillery. Strnad said CSG now had capacity of 80,000-100,000 of artillery shells per year, a significant chunk of the annual capacity in Europe which he put at 270,000-300,000. Strnad said Ukraine was firing 40,000 shells per week.<ref>https://www.reuters.com/article/ukraine-crisis-ammunition-csg/restocking-western-ammunition-after-arming-ukraine-will-take-years-producer-idINL8N32R4T9</ref><br />

===Slovenia===<br />
Slovenia agreed to send the M84 tanks left over from the Yugoslav army to Ukraine. Meanwhile, Slovenia demanded compensation from Germany. It wanted new Leopard 2 tanks and Puma armored infantry fighting vehicles, as well as Boxer armored personnel carriers. However, Germany refused to supply such expensive equipment and offered Slovenia outdated Marder BMPs and Fuchs armored personnel carriers from the Bundeswehr reserves.{{fact}}<br />
<br />
===Italy===<br />
<br />
On June 5, 2022, protesters rallied in [[Rome]] demanding that Italy withdraw from NATO and that the [[European Court of Human Rights]] investigate the crimes of the [[Kyiv regime]] since 2014 in the Donbas.<ref>https://newsrnd.com/news/2022-06-06-hundreds-protest-in-rome-to-demand-investigation-into-kyiv-s-crimes-in-donbass.ByWcfPQj_q.html</ref><br />
<br />
In early November 2023 Italy's Defense Minister, Guido Crosetto, told lawmakers that the country cannot afford NATO's demands for military spending. NATO is demanding that spending is increased from 1.46% of GDP to 2%. Crosetto said that this was impossible, and that spending will decrease in coming years.<ref>[https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/italy-struggle-meet-nato-2-defence-spending-target-minister-2023-11-07/ Italy to struggle to meet NATO 2% defence spending target - minister], ''Reuters'', November 7, 2023.</ref><br />

===Turkiye===<br />
The Armed Forces of Ukraine positioned 420 World War II-era sea mines anchored to weighted boxes on the Black Sea bed to deter amphibius landing craft to the approaches of the ports of Odessa, Ochikov and Chernomorsk. A Black Sea storm caused many to break free of their securing cables and bob to the surface, drifting south with the prevailing currents. The mines arrived in Romanian and Turkish coastal waters, posing a threat to commercial shipping and human life. In early March 2022 an Estonian general cargo ship was at anchor when it was hit below the water line by a large explosion. Six crewmen were rescued but the ship sank. One mine caused a temporary closure of the Bosphorus Straight.<br />
<br />
Turkiye closed the Bosphorus to NATO warships, including minesweepers. Minister of Defense Hulusi Akar said, “We have a suspicion that the mines were deliberately introduced. Perhaps they were fired as part of some plan to put pressure on us in order to let NATO minesweepers [through the straits] into the [[Black Sea]]. But we are committed to the rules of the Montreux [Convention] and do not let warships enter the Black Sea."<ref>https://thefrontierpost.com/turkish-defense-minister-says-ankara-will-not-let-warships-into-the-black-sea/</ref> Meanwhile, U.S. socialist premier [[Joe Biden]] bragged of NATO unity.<ref>https://news.yahoo.com/president-biden-touts-nato-unity-192119665.html</ref> Turkiye has been a member of NATO since 1952.<br />

<br />
As a condition to turn Turkiye into a natural gas hub as an alternative for Russian gas supplies to Europe after the American [[terrorist]] attack on the civilian infrastructure of [[Germany]] and the [[Nordstream]] pipelines, Turkiye agreed to cease sales of weapons and [[Bayraktar]] drones to the [[Kyiv regime]].{{fact}}<br />

===Iceland===<br />
Chinese Ambassador to Iceland He Rulong and Chairman of the NATO Military Committee Admiral Rob Bauer exchanged impudence at the Arctic Circle Assembly in [[Reykjavik]], [[Iceland]]. Ukraine became a bone of contention, ''[[Bloomberg]]'' reported the night before, October 15, 2022.<br />
<br />
According to the agency, in his speech, Bauer said that China "does not respect the values" of the alliance, and also "undermines the world legal order," to which He Rulong pointed out to the admiral that his speech was "filled with arrogance."<br />
<br />
Following the remark of the Chinese diplomat, the admiral asked him why, despite the importance of the principle of sovereignty for China, Beijing has not yet condemned Russia for conducting a [[special military operation]] in Ukraine. To this, He Rulong replied that China's position "on the Ukrainian crisis" takes into account the historical perspective, and the world needs to "understand the root cause" of what is happening in Ukraine. President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24, 2022, a military operation in connection with the request of the leaders of the [[Donbas]] republics for help. He stressed that [[Moscow]]'s plans do not include the occupation of Ukrainian territories, and the goals are the demilitarization and denazification of the country.<br />
<br />
[[The West]], in response to the decision of the Russian Federation, began to gradually introduce numerous and large-scale sanctions against it and began to supply weapons and military equipment to Kyiv. Several Western politicians have acknowledged that this is, in fact, an economic war against Russia. As Putin stated on March 16, 2022, the Western sanctions policy against Moscow has all the signs of [[aggression]]. He pointed out that the policy of containment of the Russian Federation is a long-term strategy of the West.<br />

Foreign mercenary fighters are not protected by the [[Geneva Convention]]. When captured in a war zone, under martial law, they can be executed on the spot without trial. Under international law, they are criminals who kill people for profit. Nonetheless, these facts did not inhibit UK Foreign Minister [[Liz Truss]], in the Russophobic hysteria gripping Western media, from actively encouraging young men across the planet to go and get themselves killed with no support of their own government which is too cowardly to involve itself and declare war,<ref>https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/liz-truss-british-fight-ukraine-russia-b984892.html</ref> and without informing these young fighters of any facts, if she indeed understood any facts that in an ordinary and sane world her job would require.<ref>https://www.lbc.co.uk/radio/presenters/iain-dale/liz-truss-green-light-for-brits-to-fight-in-ukraine-actually-illegal-david-davis/</ref> British Prime Minister [[Boris Johnson]] had to spend the next two months walking back her suggestion to UK citizens to violate both British and international law.<ref>https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/prime-minister-boris-johnson-liz-truss-uk-government-ukraine-b2025893.html</ref><br />

On March 12, 2022, the so-called, "International Peacekeeping and Security Centre" operated by the United States at Yavoriv, about 35 miles west-northwest of [[Lviv]] in Western Ukraine and about 10 miles from the Polish border, came under cruise missile attack by Russian forces. Reports indicate there were about 1,500 foreign mercenaries being trained by NATO and awaiting deployment. ''[[WaPo]]'' reported: <br />
{{quotebox-float|The [Lviv] facility is indeed the “main training center where U.S. and Canadian troops have been working with our Ukrainian partners for the last 6-7 years,” retired Lt. Gen.

Other reports surfaced of foreign nationals traveling to volunteer in the war effort were duped into signing indefinite service contracts.<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/03/17/ukraines-foreign-volunteers-are-being-told-they-wont-be-able-to-leave-its-a-death-warrant/</ref> Contracts with the Ukrainian fascist regime state those joining will be under the “same obligations” as Ukrainian men. Under martial law, the people who sign this contract from the ages of 18-60 will have to “remain in the Ukrainian foreign legion for the duration of war” – meaning they can be shot as deserters if they attempt to leave.<br />
<br />
Despite a mercenary's legal status under existing international agreements, the Russian Federation made clear from the outset that captured foreign mercenaries recruited and trained by NATO countries would not be summarily executed, but would stand trial under the laws of the Russian Federation to document the war crimes of NATO.{{fact}}<br />

''Southfront'' reported on April 18, 2022, that the [[Russian MOD]] claimed since the start of the operation “the Kiev nationalist regime has brought 6,824 foreign mercenaries from 63 countries to Ukraine”. The largest group came from Poland – 1,717 people. About 1,500 mercenaries came from the US, Canada and also Romania. From the UK and the Georgian republic, up to 300 each. From the Turkish-controlled areas of the Syrian Arab Republic came 193 people. Moscow claimed that the number of mercenaries had been steadily declining as a result of the hostilities and currently stood at 4,877. Russian armed forces eliminated 1,035 foreign mercenaries in hostilities. Another 912 mercenaries refused to participate in hostilities and deserted.<ref>https://southfront.org/a-revealing-video-on-european-super-activist-who-were-deliberately-sent-to-deaths-by-brussels/</ref> In early spring 2022 NATO military personnel continued to arrive in Ukraine under the guise of foreign volunteers or mercenaries.<br />
<br />
Seven US mercenaries who were fighting with Kyiv forces were killed at the Krasitel plant in Rubizhne city, an assistant to the head of Chechnya, told ''RIA Novosti'' on May 15, 2022. Footage showing the passport of one of the slain mercenaries, reportedly an agent of the US intelligence, surfaced online earlier.<ref>https://southfront.org/seven-us-mercenaries-were-killed-by-russian-forces-in-donbass-report/</ref><br />
<br />
On June 2, 2022, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported:<br />
{{quotebox|"According to the data that we have, today the total number of foreign mercenaries in Ukraine has almost halved - from 6,600 to 3,500 people. The Kiev regime's urgent attempts to guarantee legal protection to mercenaries, including them in the list of military units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine or the National Guard, or issuing them new [[passport]]s of Ukrainian citizens, will not save any of them. In accordance with international humanitarian law, mercenaries are not combatants, and the best that awaits them is criminal liability.”}}<br />
On June 15, 2022, the Russian armed services created a website with a searchable database of all known mercenaries in Ukraine. The purpose was to give mercenaries the opportunity to surrender voluntarily and possibly an exit out of the war zone if they have not participated in hostilities. It also allows for tips from the public to report on mercenaries in the warzone that are not yet listed. The status of whether they dead or alive can also be determined from the site.<ref>https://foreigncombatants.ru</ref><br />

=====Racist treatment of African mercenaries=====<br />

In February 2022 the Kyiv regime sent an emergency request to Black African nations for mercenaries. The Ukrainian embassy in [[Algeria]] and [[Senegal]] made a racist call to arms on Facebook that said anyone who wants to join the defense of security in Europe and in the world can come and stand alongside the Ukrainians against the invaders of the 21st century. The post also invited interested persons to fill out a form. The Facebook post triggered a [[diplomatic]] reaction in both of nations. Algeria's foreign ministry was told the embassy to withdraw the illegal and racist Facebook post immediately and it accused Kyiv of violating the provisions of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations between states.{{fact}} <br />
<br />
The Kyiv regime's efforts to hire black Senegalese people to fight the Russians on the battlefield also faced similar resistance from the Senegalese government. the Senegalese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the recruitment of volunteer mercenaries or foreign fighters on the territory of the country was illegal and liable to the penalties provided by the law.{{fact}}<br />
<br />
As for media reports. the Kyiv regime was paying a sum ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 per day to foreign fighters along with other post-war benefits, assuming they win. Some white European fighters however, were being paid up to $3,000 per day for the same job. Other reports said that Ukraine was encouraging [[Islamic State]] fighters in [[Syria]] to fight alongside the Ukrainian military against Russia.{{fact}}<br />

===Defeat in Ukraine===<br />
<br />
After undermining European strategic stability by gradually moving its forces closer to Russia's borders, [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]] exerted decisive influence over [[Ukraine]] following a [[coup d'état]] in 2014. The aim was to bring the country into the Euro-Atlantic orbit by accelerating its militarization, in defiance of [[Moscow]]'s repeated red lines.<br />
<br />
After Russia launched its '[[special military operation]]' in February 2022, the [[United States]] responded by providing massive [[military]], [[financial]] and [[political]] support to [[Kiev]]. This [[strategy]] was accompanied by the most severe international sanctions ever imposed, mobilizing the [[G7]] in an attempt to destabilize the world's third largest [[geopolitical]] power.<br />
<br />
Despite the scale of these measures, the [[war of attrition]] between Russia and NATO, with Ukraine caught in the middle, inexorably turned to Moscow's advantage, due to its superiority in human, logistical and industrial resources.<br />
<br />
The United States went so far as to [[sabotage]] major [[energy]] [[infrastructure]] linking Russia to [[Germany]] — the [[Nord Stream pipeline]]. This is the largest [[terrorist]] act on [[Europe]]an soil since [[World War II]]. These pipelines belonged to both the Russian state and European partners, i.e. NATO members. The act undermined trust within the alliance.<br />

===Feb 12, 2025 Brussels speech===<br />
<br />
In a speech to [[NATO]] representatives in [[Brussels]], [[Belgium]] on February 12, 2025, shortly after taking office, [[US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth]] said,<br />
{{Cquote|We want, like you, a [[sovereign]] and prosperous [[Ukraine]]. But we must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective. <br />
<br />
Chasing this illusionary goal will only prolong the [[war]] and cause more suffering. <br />
<br />
A durable peace for Ukraine must include robust [[security guarantee]]s to ensure that the war will not begin again. <br />
<br />
This must not be [[Minsk Accords|Minsk 3.0]]. <br />
<br />
That said, the [[United States]] does not believe that [[NATO]] membership for Ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement. <br />
<br />
Instead any security guarantee must be backed by capable [[European]] and non-European troops. <br />
<br />
If these troops are deployed as peacekeepers to Ukraine at any point, they should be deployed as part of a non-NATO mission. And they should not covered under [[Article 5]]. There also must be robust international oversight of the line of contact.<br />
<br />
[...]<br />
<br />
The [[United States]] faces consequential threats to our homeland. We must – and we are – focusing on security of our own borders.<br />
<br />
We also face a peer competitor in the [[Communist Chinese]] with the capability and intent to threaten our homeland and core national interests in the [[Indo-Pacific]]. The U.S. is prioritizing deterring war with [[China]] in the [[Pacific]], recognizing the reality of scarcity, and making the resourcing tradeoffs to ensure [[deterrence]] does not fail. <br />
<br />
Deterrence cannot fail, for all of our sakes.<br />
<br />
As the United States prioritizes its attention to these threats, [[European]] allies must lead from the front. <br />
<br />
Together, we can establish a [[division of labor]] that maximizes our comparative advantages in Europe and Pacific respectively.<ref>[https://www.defense.gov/News/Speeches/Speech/Article/4064113/opening-remarks-by-secretary-of-defense-pete-hegseth-at-ukraine-defense-contact/ Opening Remarks by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth at Ukraine Defense Contact Group (As Delivered)], Feb. 12, 2025, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Brussels, Belgium. defense.gov</ref>}}<br />
In late September 2025 as international tensions [[escalated]], Hegseth summoned all active duty generals and admirals to an urgent meeting in [[Quantico]], [[Virginia]] for an undisclosed meeting. Speculation abounded the purpose of the meeting. Many of the high-ranking officers were contact with each other to find out why Hegseth has ordered such an unprecedented gathering that will upend the schedules of hundreds of them.<ref>https://www.twz.com/land/war-secretarys-emergency-meeting-a-mystery-to-hundreds-of-top-officers-ordered-to-attend</ref> A consensus emerged that the order for all top military officers to meet in one place was for critical [[domestic]] reasons, as they would not be put in one place to plan [[war]] on a [[foreign]] country where they could wiped out with a single [[missile]] strike.<br />

[https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/feb/3/liz-cheney-boosted-dem-donors-huge-campaign-cash-h/]</ref> Called the "Wicked Witch of the West" after the frightful villain in the ''[[Wizard of Oz]]'', Cheney spent most of 2022 trying to get [[Donald Trump]] prosecuted for non-existent crimes.<br />
<br />
'''''Cheney was defeated in a landslide humiliation of 66-29% in her own primary on August 16, 2022'''''.<ref>https://ballotpedia.org/Liz_Cheney</ref> In 2023, the [[Wyoming]] legislature humiliated Cheney further by enacting two bills that rebuked and prohibited tactics of her campaign: one to prohibit how she sent out unsolicited absentee ballot request forms, and the other to prohibit crossover voting in its primaries as Cheney unsuccessfully sought to attract [[Dem]] votes.<ref>https://cowboystatedaily.com/2023/03/07/the-ghost-of-liz-cheney-legislature-passed-two-bills-in-reaction-to-cheneys-failed-campaign/</ref><br />
<br />
Cheney obtained an appointment by Democrat [[Speaker Nancy Pelosi]] to the [[partisan]] [[Pelosi Panel]] witchhunt investigating the [[2021 Capitol protests|January 6 Capitol protests]] after a bi-partisan panel had been voted down. Originally elected as a [[Republican]], on May 12, 2021, Cheney was removed from her leadership position within the House [[GOP]] conference. The Republican Party of Wyoming voted in November 2021 to no longer recognize her as a Republican due to her persistent unjustified ranting against [[Donald Trump]] and his supporters.<ref>https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/Cheney-Wyoming/2021/11/15/id/1044747/</ref> Cheney lost to her [[Trump]]-endorsed rival [[Harriet Hageman]] on Jan. 22, 2022 by a vote of 59-6 among [[GOP]] leaders in [[Wyoming]].<ref>https://trib.com/news/state-and-regional/govt-and-politics/harriet-hageman-wins-big-in-congressional-straw-poll-held-by-wyoming-gop-activists/article_5ee6224a-5705-5250-b6a3-f41510ed9bce.html</ref> Liz Cheney is the [[neoconservative]] daughter of former Vice President [[Dick Cheney]]. <br />
<br />
In December 2021, Cheney violated basic standards of decency by releasing private text messages provided by [[Mark Meadows]], and then Cheney misleadingly pretended they implicated President [[Trump]] when he was not even a sender or recipient of any of the texts. Cheney has gone on a rampage against Meadows and other Republicans, voting to hold Meadows and others in contempt for possible imprisonment.<br />
<br />
Since 2017 she has pretended to represent [[Wyoming]] in [[Congress]], despite not really living there. Cheney is an heir to a fortune garnered by her father [[Dick Cheney]] in $45 million paid to him by the [[globalist]] defense contractor [[Halliburton]], as he advanced the [[neocon]] agenda prior to becoming Vice President.<ref>https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/did-dick-cheney-sink-halliburton-and-will-it-sink-him/</ref> Her inflated view of herself may have resulted from her role occasionally filling in for [[Bill O'Reilly]] on [[Fox News]]' ''[[The O'Reilly Factor]]''. <br />
<br />
Cheney opposed standing up against [[Democrat election fraud]] on Jan. 6, 2021, and espoused [[Leftist]] talking points [[demonize|demonizing]] President Trump and Trump supporters as "white supremacists" and "domestic terrorists."<br />
<br />
Married to an attorney who is a partner at a wealthy [[liberal]] [[D.C.]] law firm, Cheney has served in the State Department as a senior Middle East advisor. A [[neoconservative]] and [[RINO]], Cheney has attacked and opposed [[President Trump]] and many prominent [[conservatives]] using [[lamestream media]] [[agitprop]] to appease the D.C. [[establishment]]. After her election to Congress, she served as the chair of the House Republican Conference, but many prominent House Republicans and [[Wyoming]] constituents called on her to resign after her disgraceful siding with [[Dems]] in their unjustified second [[impeachment and removal|impeachment]] of President [[Donald Trump|Trump]]. She even "quietly orchestrated a ''Washington Post'' op-ed by 10 living former defense secretaries cautioning that then-President Trump might attempt to politicize the military."<ref>https://nypost.com/2021/05/07/pal-says-liz-cheney-planned-anti-trump-op-ed-by-10-defense-secretaries/</ref> As a result, she was removed from her leadership post by House Republicans in May 2021.<ref>https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/matt-margolis/2021/05/12/breaking-liz-cheney-ousted-from-gop-leadership-n1446271</ref><br />
<br />
Capping more than a year of estrangement from conservatives and general failure, Cheney lost the GOP primary election to Hageman on August 16, 2022. Hageman's margin of victory over Cheney was nearly 40 points, one of the worst defeats for an incumbent politician in American history.<ref>[https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/harriet-hageman-sees-her-landslide-victory-over-liz-cheney-in-wyoming-as-beacon-for-the-nation-we-re-fed-up/ar-AA10M9BT?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=72c3853ea8c84b028d1758e61f869223 Harriet Hageman Sees Her Landslide Victory Over Liz Cheney In Wyoming As Beacon For The Nation: 'We're Fed Up'].

==United States House of Representatives==<br />
Cheney raised $7 million for her 2022 reelection campaign, with only $202,980 of it from Wyoming.<ref>https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2022/03/donors-from-outside-of-wyoming-make-up-the-majority-of-rep-liz-cheneys-record-breaking-fundraising-during-the-2022-election-cycle/</ref><br />
<br />
In 2024 Cheney apparently was [[pardon]]ed for any potential wrongdoing while serving on the [[J6 witchhunt]] committee. In 2025 the alleged pardon came into question for apparently being forged by a computer generated autopen with [[Joe Biden]]'s signature.<ref>https://potustoast.com/alina-habba-challenges-legality-of-bidens-autopen-pardons-fbi-and-doj-target-pelosi-warren-and-cheney/</ref><br />

===2016 election===<br />
On February 1, 2016, Cheney announced her candidacy for the [[Wyoming]] at-large open seat vacated by Rep. Cynthia Lummis in the House of Representatives as a Republican. She won the primary and later general election held on November 8, 2016.<ref>From 2009–2013, she chaired ''Keep America Safe''. Cheney claims that her non-profit organization "was instrumental in preventing President Obama from transferring terrorists detained at [[Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp|Guantanamo]]—including the mastermind of [[9/11]], Khaled Sheikh Mohamed—into the United States."

===2022 Congressional primary===<br />
After being booted from the Wyoming Republican Party, Cheney ran again in the 2022 GOP Congressional primary. Cheney received the endorsement of [[NFL]] Hall of Famer accused of murdering his ex-wife [[O.J. Simpson]],<ref>https://nypost.com/2021/05/11/o-j-simpson-stands-by-liz-cheney-amid-gop-reckoning/</ref> and actively courted other [[Democrat]]s to switch party registration and vote in the Republican primary. Ironically, Cheney ran on a platform claiming that she was "protecting [[democracy]]." Cheney was buried in a nearly 40 point loss to Republican [[Harriet Hageman]], the largest primary defeat of an incumbent in this century.<br />
<br />
==Eagle Forum Position==<br />
During August, 2018, the [[Eagle Forum]] praised Cheney’s dedication to conservative policies and her approval for the Pres. Trump’s pro-life agenda on issues such as Title X reform and other policies.<br />
<ref>https://eagleforum.org/publications/press-releases/eagle-forum-pac-endorses-liz-cheney.html</ref><br />
<br />
On May 13, 2021, the Eagle Forum commended House Minority Leader [[Kevin McCarthy]] and House [[Republican]]s for ousting Liz Cheney from her position as Chair of the Republican Conference. Eagle Forum President Colleen Holcomb was quoted as saying: “Disagreements about political issues are inevitable and should not disqualify legislators from leadership, but when Liz Cheney blamed the violence and lawlessness of a few rogue actors on President [[Trump]] and the thousands of law-abiding Americans who gathered at the Capitol on January 6th to peacefully protest widespread election irregularities, she broke faith with the grassroots of her Party and disqualified herself from leadership.” <ref>https://eagleforum.org/publications/press-releases/mccarthy-and-house-gop-commended-for-ousting-cheney.html</ref><br />
<br />
==Family==<br />
Cheney is married to Phillip Perry, a partner at Latham & Watkins, a law firm with offices in [[Shanghai]] and [[Beijing]]. Latham & Watkins describes itself as “advising” the technology firm Tencent on its investment in an American company. Tencent has been described by the State Department’s Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation as a “tool of the [[PRC|Chinese government]],” noting the company has “no meaningful ability to tell the [[Chinese Communist Party]] ‘no’ if officials decide to ask for their assistance.” It provides “a foundation of technology-facilitated [[surveillance]] and social control” as part of the CCP’s broader crusade “to shape the world consistent with its [[authoritarian]] model,” the State Department report adds. [[Amnesty International]] rated Tencent’s data encryption capabilities zero out of 100, noting it hadn’t “stated publicly that they will not grant government requests to backdoor.” <br />
<br />
On January 31, 2021, Latham & Watkins boasted that it successfully “persuaded” the [[U.S. government]] to lift Trump-era sanctions on state-owned China COSCO Shipping Corporation Limited (COSCO). COSCO is a controversial, [[Shanghai]]-based [[logistics]] company labeled as a “thinly veiled arm of the [[PLA|Chinese military]]” by a task force of the [[U.S. House of Representatives]]. Eleven of its 13 executives boast of high-level CCP affiliations on COSCO’s website. Latham & Watkins also employs as one of Perry's fellow Partners, Hui Xu, whose bio describes him as previously working for China’s Ministry of Commerce where he handled trade remedy, intellectual property, and [[World Trade Organization]] matters. The firm also tracks legislative developments in the CCP, often praising the regime’s “vigorous” environmental laws, even noting “[[President Xi]]’s announcement signals a renewed effort to improve the fragmented political infrastructure of environmental governance in China.” Latham & Watkins has also praised China’s Five-Year Plans for its “increased focus on [[climate change]] and a more open trade environment.”<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/exclusive/liz-cheney-husbands-firm-reps-ccp-clients/</ref><br />

<div>{{etymology|[[Greek]] πορνή (''porné'') a prostitute and γράΦω (''grapho'') I write}}[[Image:Pornography.jpg|200px|right]]<br />
'''Pornography''' is the explicit representation of the human body or sexual activity used for the intent of stimulation. As an [[addiction]] it depends on patterns, comparable to addictions to [[gambling]] and televised [[football]]. These [[addiction]]s can be overcome by taking an interest in healthy patterns: geometric games such as online [[chess]] (which millions play regularly), military history, visuals as found in [[architecture]] or the outdoors, and more challenging intellectual activity such as [[mathematical]] [[topology]].<br />
<br />
Pornography usually consists of images depicting the satisfaction of the sort of "unnatural lust" which leads to damnation. ({{Bible ref|book=Jude|chap=1|verses=6-7}}) It destroys the mind as [[gambling]] does and, even worse, '''pornography''' leads to terrible crimes against women, men (especially young ones) and children.<ref>https://www.un.org/rights/dpi1772e.htm</ref><ref>http://www.forerunner.com/forerunner/X0388_Effects_of_Pornograp.html</ref> Pornography has also been shown to cause erectile dysfunction, even in young men. <ref>https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/erectile-dysfunction-question</ref> The Greek word πορνεία (''porneía'') appears several times in the [[New Testament]] as a sin that, unless repented of, will prevent one from entering heaven; however, such a word in Ancient Greek mostly referred to [[sexual immorality|illicit sexual relationships]] (such as adultery and incest), prostitution, and also, in a broader sense, idolatry.<br />
<br />
* When Christ said "any man who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart," He made it clear that chastity—and unchastity—does not begin with what we do, but rather in what we think. Therefore, deliberately seeking such stimulation outside a committed marriage, even via the imagination, constitutes a sin against [[chastity]].<ref>[http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/sexuality/se0051.html Banishing Unchaste Thoughts]</ref><br />
<br />
Christ makes clear in the above passage that there is no such thing as "safe, healthy use of pornography." Any viewing of pornography is neither safe nor healthy. There is no such thing as "manageable viewing of pornography" or viewing of pornography that is "normal development." Rather, the viewing of pornography is a sinful act that dishonors God and transgresses His Word.<br />
<br />
Pornographic images have been proliferating at a remarkable rate. What was a $5 million-a-year enterprise merely 25 years ago has boomed to a $7 billion to $10 billion-a-year industry today... the fastest growing sectors of the industry are pornographic DVDs, cable television, and phone sex. Pornography is no longer confined to the seedier sections of town. With the advent of the Internet, it has become readily available to all, including children, and in the dark, sick seclusion of one's own home.<ref>[http://www.religion-online.org/showarticle.asp?title=759 Censorship or Education?]</ref><br />
<br />
==Human psychology==<br />
Dr. [[Jerry Bergman (scientist)|Jerry Bergman]] (Ph.D.) wrote:<br />
<br />
:Pornography distorts the natural development of personality. If the early stimulus is pornographic photographs, the [[adolescent]] can be [[conditioning|conditioned]] to become aroused through photographs. Once this pairing is rewarded a number of times, it is likely to become permanent. The result to the individual is that it becomes difficult for the person to seek out relations with appropriate persons. Furthermore, pornography teaches people to look upon others as nothing more than sex objects, therefore, possibly inducting thoughts of committing rape.<ref>Jerry Bergman, Ph.D., The Influence of Pornography on Sexual Development: Three Case Histories, IX ''Family Therapy'' 3, 1982, pg. 265.</ref><br />
<br />
Furthermore, research has revealed that married couples who watch pornography have a substantially higher divorce rate then married couples who do not indulge in pornography.<ref>[http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2016/08/divorce-rates-double-when-people-start-watching-porn Divorce rates double when people start watching porn]</ref><br />
<br />
==Illusion and addiction==<br />
<br />
Pornography provides the illusion of intimacy,<ref>[http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/edn-f016.html (Christian Answers)]</ref> but this is a [[satan]]ic trap (see [[sexual addiction]]).<br />
<br />
*Pornography consumption is not something that can easily be stopped. Once the appetite for it has developed, it actually increases. In his 1988 study ''Pornography Effects: Empirical and Clinical Evidence'', [[Victor Cline]], then with the [[University of Utah]]'s Department of Psychology noted that studies show pornography is progressive and addictive for many. It often leads to the user acting out his fantasy.<br />
*The Internet is the "crack cocaine" of sexual addiction.<ref>[http://www.soundvision.com/Info/life/porn/pornfacts.asp]</ref><br />
<br />
"People often act in accordance with the images and patterns they find around them,"<ref>At the crux of this issue is whether written pornography might have a causal effect in eroticizing criminal activities. One case that dealt with this issue indirectly is American Booksellers Association v. Hudnut, ... the court conceded that it saw some evidence of a causal relationship between pornography and anti-social behaviors.... People often act in accordance with the images and patterns they find around them. . . . Depictions of subordination tend to perpetuate subordination." 771 F.2d at 328-29.</ref> so looking at pornography is a dangerous practice; although being around a loving Christian family for most of the day, and instead acting in accordance with those images and patterns seems to negate this.<br />
<br />
Pornography says that happiness is found by having the same experience over and over again with lots of different women; true ''eros'' says that happiness is found by having different experiences over and over again with the same person.<ref>[http://nopornnorthampton.org/2007/05/02/schwyzer-on-porn-pursuit-of-novelty-is-enemy-of-relationship.aspx]</ref><br />
<br />
==Departure from the norm==<br />
Viewing or reading pornography day in and day out has a negative effect. It desensitizes a person, makes him more withdrawn, and makes him view others (of the opposite sex) like objects rather than the people they are.<br />
Although some people have argued that "erotica" is okay, in the history of erotic literature it is rare to find any depiction of normal marital relations. <br />
<br />
Cary Tennis wrote:<br />
:And naturally whether you approve of porn in theory or not, its effect will be to displace you. Like crack, it tends to take over, to push out other hungers that tend to nurture the human community by making us dependent on one another. Since we are dependent on each other we must be civil and loving. If we are not dependent on each other then we needn't be civil and loving. We needn't have community and family.<ref>[https://www.salon.com/mwt/col/tenn/2007/04/11/porn/ (Salon magazine)]</ref><br />
<br />
There is debate whether it is truly moral to be 'civil and loving' purely because it is necessary, as Cary Tennis seems to say here. Other Christians argue that to be 'civil and loving' purely because we are dependent on others is actually immoral and manipulative. These Christians argue that to be self-contained, independent and yet still warm and loving is a greater virtue.<br />
<br />
Debbie Nathan wrote:<br />
:Porn is everywhere today, everyone is looking, and the media responds with little more than gloom-and-doom talk about evils like Internet sex addiction, or rah-rah promotion of Brazilian waxing and Jenna Jameson’s fame and fortune. Meanwhile, few know the real history of this explosive media, or the truth about its business practices, working conditions, politics and actual effects on people.

==Neuroplasticity and Pornography==<br />
Neuroplasticity is an emerging field of neuroscience which explains how certain states of mind or thought routines can physically alter the structure of the brain, even after adulthood, when the brain is purportedly thought to be done with development. The negative effects of pornography in relation to the phenomenon of neuroplasticity is often brought up in anti-pornographic studies. However, various pseudoscientific theories have emerged, claiming that pornography can actually be used to help heal the brain and stabilize the body much in the same way as Tai Chi, Yoga, or Transcendent Meditation. Propaganda websites like Intimate Medicine have been at the forefront of perpetuating this deadly myth, as pronounced meditation on pornographic material enslaves the mind to lust and can affect work ethic. The effect of pornography on the reward centers of the brain is well documented and correlates with this evidence.<br />

==Legal aspects==<br />
:''See also: [[Arguments Against Pornography]]''<br />
Due to a series of [[liberal]] decisions beginning with the [[Warren Court]], pornography is aggressively sold and distributed in the United States without meaningful law enforcement. It is a $7–10 billion industry that affects and harms 40 million Americans. Pornography destroys relationships and exploits young people.<ref>''National Catholic Register'' p. 8 (Apr. 22, 2007).</ref><ref>http://internet-filter-review.toptenreviews.com/internet-pornography-statistics.html</ref> The [[ACLU]] has also opposed any limits on the availability of pornographic content, as well as the [[Child Online Protection Act]], which would have placed restrictions on how accessible pornography would be to minors on the internet.<br />
<br />
==Cultural effects==<br />
During the [[Russia-Ukraine war]], many [[Russian]]s were upset to hear that an online petition was submitted to the city council of Zaporozhe, [[Ukraine]] to change the name of a city square from the Russian poet Vladimir Mayakovsky to American gay porn star Billy Herrington.<br />
.<ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/cug4PA2u9I3T/</ref> The war started basically because many Russians felt Ukraine was becoming both culturally and militarily too close to [[the West]] where pornography is protected free speech but political dissent is not.<br />
<br />
== Deadly industry ==<br />
Similar to [[Hollywood values]], the pornographic industry is rife with destructive [[liberal]] values that prove dangerous and even deadly. A great number of pornographic movie "stars" have died untimely deaths due to drug use, alcoholism and [[sexually transmitted disease]]. Below is a list of such cases.

'''James Gordon Brown''', generally known as '''Gordon Brown''', is the former [[Prime Minister]] of the [[United Kingdom]] and former leader of the British [[Labour Party]]. He succeeded [[Tony Blair]] in these positions in June 2007.<br />
<br />
A Scottish [[Labour Party|Labour]] politician, Brown served as Britain's [[Chancellor of the Exchequer]] for ten years. His mutual enmity with former Prime Minister Blair was a consistent feature of British political life for a number of years.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
In Britain, Brown is seen as being a more sombre, sober and serious figure in contrast to Tony Blair, who is regarded as charismatic and has at times been perceived as lightweight and as an overly "slick" media performer (not unlike [[Bill Clinton]]). This resonates with a stereotype that many English people have of Scottish people being humorless and dour. Brown's father was a Minister in the [[Presbyterianism|Presbyterian]] [[Church of Scotland]], and it is thought that Brown's religious beliefs have influenced his serious, sober style. On the negative side, some believe that he is insufficiently likeable and sunny to appeal to voters. He has also been criticized for secretiveness, control-freakery and an awkward personal style. However, his communication skills, especially reading from autocues and being interviewed under bright lights in television studios, may be adversely affected by the fact that his eyesight is extremely poor. He is blind in one eye and his vision in the other is weak, owing to a sporting injury sustained when he was a teenager.<br />
<br />
Brown was one of the longest serving Chancellors in history, and took credit for the consistently healthy state of the British economy during his tenure - credit which many are reassessing in light of the current (as of October 2008) perilous condition of the British economy. He is a passionate advocate of reducing poverty in the [[Third World]]. He has made speeches in which he has praised the concept of "Britishness" and suggested that the British should display the British flag outside their houses, as many Americans do with the US flag. However, his patriotic convictions are expected to have consequences in foreign policy which are arguably negative: it is widely believed that he will be zealous in defending British interests (narrowly defined), but that he will neglect broader elements of Tony Blair's foreign policy such as support for the United States and the [[War on Terror]].<br />
<br />
During Brown's tenure as Chancellor, the UK enjoyed sustained economic growth and generally positive reports from the [[International Monetary Fund]], although there were concerns at extreme inflationary pressures in the housing market. These concerns were more than borne out by the collapse in the housing market and credit crunch of 2007–2008.<br />
<br />
Brown followed a generally redistributionary policy, increasing spending in the [[National Health Service]] and [[education]], and giving tax breaks to some poorer families whilst significantly increasing taxes on many others. His most significant achievement in the early days of the Labour Government was to grant fiscal independence to the Bank of England.<br />
<br />
Just two days after the Brown ministry began, Islamic terrorists initiated several [[June 2007 UK terror attacks|attempted attacks]] against the UK, consisting of two car bombs in [[London]] on June 29 and a suicide-bomb attack at Glasgow International Airport on June 30.<br />
<br />
By the Fall of 2008, Brown's premiership was increasingly seen as catastrophic by the country as a whole and his own party. Labour's opinion poll ratings dropped to historic lows, with widepread predictions of a Conservative landslide at the next General Election. The events of early October 2008, gained him new respect, though not necessarily popularity, as he exercised cool, firm international leadership in the midst of the banking crisis. Opinion polls show that Brown's popularity is significantly lower than that of his main opponent, [[David Cameron]], it is also alleged that he caused the "Credit crunch", the recession where the UK,supposedly owes more than HALF of their GDP, but local people say that no-one knows who we owe it to.<br />
<br />
In 2020, 10 years after leaving office, Gordon Brown called for a "[[global government]]" to end the [[CCP pandemic]].<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/mar/26/gordon-brown-calls-for-global-government-to-tackle-coronavirus Gordon Brown calls for global government to tackle coronavirus]</ref><br />
<br />
He has been married to Sarah since 2000. They have a daughter (deceased) and two sons.<br />
<br />
==Brown's legacy==<br />
Brown's legacy is that he left Britain with an enormous burden of debt through his use of the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) to conceal profligate public spending. ''[[The Spectator]]'' magazine (UK) has compared this to the [[Enron scandal]].<br />

'''Brexit''' is a repudiation of [[globalism]] and the campaign slogan for "Britain's Exit" from the [[European Union]]. The British people became the first nation to vote on a referendum whether or not to remain in membership to the EU, on June 23, 2016. The historic vote shocked the world as the Leave campaign won by a 52–48% margin. Prime Minister [[David Cameron]] campaigned to remain in the EU and was humiliated by the outcome, whereupon he resigned his position. Former London Mayor [[Boris Johnson]] was a leader of the Leave camp, though previously supporting Remain. Regaining [[self-governance]] and [[sovereignty]] were the top reasons for leaving the EU,<ref>[https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/editorials/brexit-is-at-bottom-about-self-rule Brexit is, at bottom, about self-rule].

<br />
On May 24, 2019, this issue caused the resignation of the prime minister of the [[United Kingdom]], as [[Theresa May]] tearfully announced she would step down due to her inability to secure a parliamentary majority for the Brexit deal her government had negotiated with the EU. [[Boris Johnson]], an advocate of a "no-deal Brexit" (i.e., leaving the EU without any agreement), was victorious in replacing Mrs. May.<br />
<br />
Polling prior to the referendum indicated a tight race, with 44% preferring to stay (anti-Brexit) and 42% supporting leaving the EU (Brexit), as of April 17, 2016.<ref>https://ig.ft.com/sites/brexit-polling/</ref> Two weeks after [[Barack Obama]] gave his support to Cameron and chided Britain to stay in the EU, a survey says Brexit gained 3% who want out.<ref>[https://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-eu-poll-idUSKCN0XP0PO?

''[[The Guardian]]'' reported about Brexit:<br />
{{Cquote|In shrinks’ offices across the country, just as in homes, pubs and offices, people are trying to come to terms with the surprise and shock of the Brexit result. Strangers gather together to talk of how “the world is falling apart”.<br />
<br />
Many people feel transported into a dystopian Britain that they “do not recognise, cannot understand”. Thousands are hatching plans to leave the country. Social media are full of suddenly violent flaming between former friends.<br />
<br />
Therapists everywhere are reporting shockingly elevated levels of anxiety and despair, with few patients wishing to talk about anything else. Mental health referrals have already begun to mushroom. Why is the Brexit vote affecting us so personally? And, what does this tell us about the make-up of our psyches?<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/29/eu-referendum-mental-health-vote The EU referendum has caused a mental health crisis] by Jay Watts, The Guardian</ref>}}<br />

The columnist Patrick West wrote in his article ''The Post-Brexit Ugliness of the left'': <br />
{{Cquote|The liberal-left couldn’t understand why people would vote in the name of abstract principles such as ‘democracy’ or ‘freedom’ or ‘self-determination’, because they view everything in terms of their own money and their own public image.<br />
<br />
There was a time when it was Tories who sneered at the poor, who deplored them as stupid and feckless. This was in the loadsamoney era of the 1980s, during which the market ruled and we were beholden to the whims of capitalists and the sainted market. There was even a time, many years ago, when the left spoke of principles, of democracy and liberty. How the roles have been reversed. How strange that it’s mostly conservatives who now talk in abstractions, and it’s the left that obsesses about the markets and worry about the FTSE 100, about their own money.<ref>[http://www.spiked-online.com/newsite/article/the-post-brexit-ugliness-of-the-left/18538 ''The Post-Brexit Ugliness of the left''] by Patrick West</ref>}}<br />

=== Article 50 ===<br />
<br />
The Article 50 document was signed by the Prime Minister of the UK, Theresa May, on the 29th March 2017. It was delivered to Donald Tusk (President of The European Council) who commented there was "no reason to pretend this was a happy day" especially as the UK had been integral to the European Union for 44 years. <br />
<br />
Following the acceptance of article 50 there will be two years of intense negotiation to finalise agreements over:<br />
<br />
* current UK and EU nationals living in each other's territories<br />
* financial liabilities and responsibilities to each other<br />
* trade and legal agreements <br />
<br />
If this is not completed within two years then it is likely that [[World Trade Organization]] rules would apply to any future trade unless all EU member nations agree to extend the negotiating period by up to one year.<br />
<br />
In December 2018, the European Court of Justice, which always rules in favor of the EU's preferred position, stated that a country could unilaterally reverse Article 50.<ref>Multiple references:<br />

===Negotiations===<br />
The main concern of the British government is to ensure access to the single market for its banking and manufacturing sectors - both major income streams for the UK. Along with this the UK business sector are very concerned about the potential loss of EU (especially Eastern European) labour for many agricultural and low paid roles. Negotiations are proceeding very slowly because of the obstructive tactics of the EU negotiators. They are insisting that Britain must agree to an "exit fee" of over £50 billion before they will start trade talks.<ref>https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/797852/Brexit-news-EU-expand-Britain-exit-fee-bill-budget-black-hole</ref> They also wanted to discuss the "rights" of EU citizens before such talks.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Novak Djokovic''' (Serbian: Новак Ђоковић, Novak Đoković, born 22 May 1987) is a [[Serbia]]n tennis player. Djokovic has won a record 24 Grand Slam men's single titles. <br />
<br />
Novak Djokovic is known for refusing to take vaccine which led to an unjust banning him from competing at [[US]] and [[Australia]] Grand slam open for two years. After the unfair ban of him at US Open from the [[Biden regime]], Djokovic won the title at 2023. <br />
<br />
Djokovic also known as devout [[Orthodox Christian]] believer who has frequently thanked [[God]] or kissed his [[Crucifixion|Cruficix]] after winning.<br />
<br />
Djokovic claims he was poisoned while being held hostage for 9 nine days by the [[covid vaccine police]] of the [[authoritarian]] [[Anthony Albanese|Albanese regime]] in [[Australia]].<ref>https://rumble.com/v67ruqp-novak-djokovic-claims-poisoning-during-2022-hotel-detention-in-australia.html</ref><br />

'''Ash Sarkar''' is a London-born [[far-left]] ideologue, "libertarian" (in her words) [[communist]], [[Anti-white sentiment|anti-white]] and [[antisemitic]] [[racist]], [[conspiracy theorist]], woke [[segregation]]ist,<ref name="segregationist">[https://www.spiked-online.com/2020/03/09/ash-sarkar-woke-segregationist/ Ash Sarkar: woke segregationist]</ref> and self-proclaimed "journalist". She is perhaps best known for defending [[antisemitic]] [[graffiti]] on the homes of [[Holocaust]] victims,<ref name="graffiti" /> supporting [[white genocide]],<ref name="segregationist" /> boasting that her great-great aunt was a [[terrorist]],<ref name="Waddedar">[https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/feb/05/relatives-terrorist-past-women-politic-british-bengal My great-great-aunt was a terrorist: women’s politics went beyond the vote]</ref> and responding to [[Piers Morgan]]'s questioning by abusively shouting "I'm literally a communist, you idiot".<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD7Ol0gz11k I'm Literally A Communist You Idiot]</ref> A prolific user of ''[[Twitter]]'', her online content is characterized by [[Profanity|foul language]] and verbal abuse.<br />
<br />
She has been described as a "gobby child of [[privilege]]".<ref name="DPTV">[https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/07/18/delingpole-teen-vogue-bigs-up-communism-anal-sex/ Delingpole: Teen Vogue Bigs up Communism, Anal Sex…]</ref> By her own admission, she has 'benefited' from her middle-class background.<ref name="middleclass">[https://twitter.com/AyoCaesar/status/1261974880867815424 Ash Sarkar on Twitter - It’s pretty obvious that I’ve benefited from being socially and culturally middle class,]</ref> <br />
<br />
A supporter of the [[CCP]] regime in [[China]], she praised the [[totalitarian]], [[genocidal]] [[dictatorship]] for its efficiency.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyZ5zyyfa8E Ash Sarkar PRAISES Chinese Communist Party In A Crazy Rant 🤦♂️]</ref><br />
== Early life ==<br />
Ashna Sarkar was born in London in 1992 to a privileged middle-class family.<ref name="DPTV" /><ref name="middleclass" /> She is of [[Bangladesh|Bangladeshi]] descent. Sarkar's father is a [[Hindu]] and her mother a follower of the [[Pagan]] philosophy of [[Islam]], with Sarkar sharing her mother's beliefs.<ref name="religion">[https://twitter.com/AyoCaesar/status/1572968656304234501 Ash Sarkar on Twitter: "My Father is Hindu..."]</ref> Sarkar's great-great aunt was [[Pritilata Waddedar]] (1911–1932), an early Indian revolutionary whose [[terrorist]] behavior Sarkar takes great pride in.<ref name="Waddedar" /><br />
<br />
== History and lies ==<br />
Ask Sarkar made an anti-white racist episode for Novara Media on 20 July 2015 titled "When Were White People Invented?", which featured Sarkar interviewing members of the public asking them the eponymous question.<br />
<br />
On 9 September 2018, Sarkar defended anti-Israel graffiti on the walls of a Warsaw ghetto.<ref name="graffiti">https://twitter.com/AyoCaesar/status/1038774066998648832</ref><br />
<br />
On April 1, 2019, after [[Paul Embery]] tweeted that keeping free movement is a betrayal of "traditional working class voters", Sarkar made the racist reply "just say white",<ref>[https://twitter.com/AyoCaesar/status/1112827511686217728 “Traditional working-class” jesus F***ing christ Paul, just say “white” with ya whole chest.]</ref> an ironic remark seeing as the far-left regular accuse conservatives of "whitewashing".<br />
<br />
On 10 December 2019, Sarkar wrote an article for far-left propaganda newspaper ''The Guardian'' claiming that the Labour Party had "not lost the working-class".<ref>[https://twitter.com/guardian/status/1204423381262708741?lang=en It’s a myth that Labour has lost the working class | Ash Sarkar]</ref> 2 days later, Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party, of which many voters were middle-class champagne socialists, were beaten by the Conservatives for a second time, this time in a landslide as working-class voters ditched the Labour Party in record numbers.<br />
<br />
In a Tweet posted on 19 March 2022, Sarkar lashed out at England [[Rugby Union]] fans in her usual woke style, marked by profanity, linking them to '[[colonialism]]' for wearing pith helmets.<ref>[https://twitter.com/AyoCaesar/status/1505272406994305027 Are those England fans dressed up as colonisers in pith helmets? ]</ref><br />
<br />
Sarkar wrote an article on July 4, 2022, pushing the false conspiracy theory that pro-life campaigners and politicians want to take women back "to the Victorian era".<ref>[https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/politics/article/anti-abortion-campaigners-mps-uk The anti-abortion lobby is on the rise in the UK. We can't get complacent]</ref><br />
<br />
On 24 April 2023, Sarkar defended her fellow far-left racist [[Diane Abbott]], who had her Labour parliamentary whip removed after making comments described by Labour leader [[Keir Starmer]] as "[[antisemitic]]". She drew comparisons to other racist Labour MPs such as [[Rupa Huq]], best known for describing [[Kwasi Kwarteng]] as "superficially black", and antisemite Steve Reed and said that Abbott should have her whip restored as a "matter of fairness".<ref>[https://twitter.com/AyoCaesar/status/1650505302838525953 When Steve Reed called a Jewish Tory donor a “puppet master”, he didn't have the Labour whip removed...]</ref><br />
<br />
On 2 May 2023, during the run-up to the coronation of King Charles III, Sarkar hypocritically described the British Royal Family as "neither a fair nor representative institution", despite defending Meghan Markle, a privileged liberal elitist, in the same delusional rant.<ref>[https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1765595/royal-family-weird-ash-sarker-newsnight Fury as Royal Family branded ‘cartel of very weird people’ by left-wing radical Ash Sarkar]</ref><br />
<br />
Ash Sarkar came under fire in late June 2023 for comments she made about the then-ongoing Titan submersible incident. On 23 June, Sarkar used the incident, in which it was later revealed that all 5 involved were killed, to claim that the rich "aren't being taxed enough".<ref>[https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/22782395/ash-sarkar-fury-titan-tragedy-rich-pay-more-tax/ TAX JIBE FURY Left-wing Guardian columnist Ash Sarkar sparks fury with Titan tweets claiming rich people should pay more tax]</ref> When the death of all participants were confirmed, Sarkar described the tragedy as being "born of hubris" in a Tweet condemned as 'vile' by ''The Express''.<ref>[https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1783649/Ash-Sarkar-submersible-victims-backlash-lord-austin Now Ash Sarkar claims Titanic sub tragedy was 'born of hubris' in another 'vile' tweet]</ref><br />

<div>'''Megan Anna Rapinoe''' (born July 5, 1985) is an [[American]] soccer player, open lesbian, and potty-mouthed [[feminist]] and [[leftist]] activist. She backs the inclusion of [[transgender]] biological males in women's and girls' sports,<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2021/03/29/watch-megan-rapinoe-promotes-transgender-inclusion-in-childrens-sports/ WATCH: Megan Rapinoe Promotes Transgender Inclusion in Children’s Sports] at Breitbart News Network</ref> ignoring the fact that biological males claiming to be "women" have an unfair advantage over biological women in female sports. She was part of the women's national team in 2017 that lost 5-2 to under-15 aged teenaged boys, suggesting that she and other top women players would not do well competing against men in soccer.<ref>https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/a-dallas-fc-under-15-boys-squad-beat-the-u-s-womens-national-team-in-a-scrimmage/</ref><br />
<br />
Rapinoe missed her penalty kick -- which sailed outside of the goal -- to result in the worst-ever elimination of the American team from the [[World Cup]] in 2023.<ref>https://nypost.com/2023/08/06/megan-rapinoes-world-cup-career-ends-with-penalty-kick-miss/</ref> That came a week after she was outspoken about not being played by the coach during a draw against the [[Netherlands]]: she “could have helped,” she told reporters.<ref>https://nypost.com/2023/07/30/megan-rapinoe-i-could-have-helped-in-uswnts-netherlands-draw/</ref><br />
<br />
Rapinoe has been an outspoken, sometimes vulgar, critic of [[Donald Trump]]. For example, Rapinoe publicly declared while Trump was president that "I'm not going to the f------ [[White House]]."<ref>https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/a28352682/megan-rapinoe-donald-trump-victory-parade-speech/</ref> <br />
<br />
Rapinoe has shown a racist side, as she was exposed to have made anti-Asian tweets on Twitter in the past.<ref>Two references:<br />

<br />
Rapinoe backs the Marxist activist group [[Black Lives Matter]] and kneels before every performance of [[Star-Spangled Banner|the national anthem]], following in the footsteps of [[Colin Kaepernick]] (who originated the disrespectful practice over imagined claims of "racism" and "police brutality").<ref>[https://nypost.com/2019/07/10/megan-rapinoe-defends-her-national-anthem-protests/ Megan Rapinoe defends her national anthem protests]</ref> After the [[Biden regime]] seized the White House via [[Democrat election fraud|massive vote fraud]] in the [[2020 presidential election]], she choose to stand again for the anthem, making it look like all "racism" had ended after Biden took over occupying the office.<ref>[https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/rapinoe-and-us-womens-soccer-team-stop-kneeling-and-start-standing-for-anthem/ar-BB1dYU4d Rapinoe and U.S. Women's Soccer Team stop kneeling and start standing for anthem]</ref><br />

<hr />
<div>'''Cyberbullying''' is [[bullying]] committed using the [[internet]], specifically defined as repeated and deliberate acts of harm and harassment against specific individuals carried out via information technology networks. It is the single biggest abhorrence plaguing the internet to this day. As committed by adults, cyberbullying is more severe than [[trolling]], which is by its definition short-term and/or indiscriminate, and is by definition systematic, long-term and personalized; one-off hostile remarks do not count.<br />
<br />
Cyberbullying may include false accusations, stalking, impersonation and identity theft, threats, and hate "art", richly-designed media targeting specific individuals. Cyberbullies often use illegal means to hide their identities, making it difficult to punish them, by legal processes or otherwise.<br />

'''David Cameron''', born 9 October 1966, nicknamed '''Dodgy Dave''', is a [[establishment]] [[neocon]] [[warmonger]] and [[China]] stooge who served formerly as the Prime Minister of the [[United Kingdom]] (2010-2016) and leader of the British [[Tory Party]] (2006-2016) and, from November 2023 until July 2024, as Foreign Secretary. He announced the resignation of his position after [[Brexit|losing his campaign]] to Remain in the [[European Union]] in 2016. Cameron is a Europhile globalist and an asset of the [[Chinese Communist Party]].<br />
<br />
Following the May 2010 election, the Conservatives won the most seats but were short of a majority, resulting in a hung parliament. Labour Leader [[Gordon Brown]] resigned, and Cameron was appointed Prime Minister, leading a Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government. The Cameron premiership, particularly in coalition with the Lib Dems, advanced the [[homosexual agenda]] by legalising [[same-sex 'marriage'|same-sex marriage]],<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2013/02/06/lawmakers-approve-gay-marriage/ British Lawmakers Approve Gay Marriage]</ref> a move that Cameron wrongly views as "conservative".<br />
<br />
In the general election held May 7, 2015, Cameron's Conservatives won a majority of 331 seats in the House of Commons. <br />
<br />
Cameron made a surprise return to government under undemocratically chose centre-left Prime Minister [[Rishi Sunak]] in November 2023, when he was appointed Foreign Secretary.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/news/uk-leader-fires-interior-minister-who-accused-police-of-favoring-pro-palestinian-protesters/ Ex-Prime Minister David Cameron makes shock return to UK government as foreign secretary]</ref> Many on the right criticised this appointment because, as pointed out by ''[[The Daily Express]]'', Cameron's tenure as PM was marked by a "litany of errors, failures and blunders" on foreign policy.<ref>[https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1834483/David-Cameron-Foreign-Policy-blunders-list All of David Cameron's foreign policy blunders listed in full as he enters Foreign Office]</ref> UK political commentator [[Darren Grimes]] described the appointment as a "betrayal of the [[Brexit]] spirit", while ''[[Breitbart]]'' dubbed it a "globalist coup".<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/11/13/globalist-coup-brexit-loser-david-cameron-back-in-government-amid-purge-of-right-wing/ Globalist Coup: Brexit Loser David Cameron Back in Government Amid Purge of Right-Wing] </ref> Cameron was almost immediately criticised for his pro-China stances, being described as a "[[useful idiot]]" for the CCP.<ref>[https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/is-lord-cameron-a-useful-idiot-for-the-ccp/ Is Lord Cameron a ‘useful idiot’ for the CCP?]</ref> Cameron defends his support for [[genocidal]] Chinese communists, and pushed for further ties with [[Xi Jinping]]'s regime..<ref>[https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12789279/New-Foreign-Secretary-David-Cameron-defends-pro-China-policy-Prime-Minister-urges-Britain-engage-Beijing.html New Foreign Secretary David Cameron defends his pro-China policy as Prime Minister and urges Britain to 'engage' with Beijing]</ref><br />
<br />
==Personal==<br />
Cameron was born in [[London]], but spent his early years near Wantage in [[Oxfordshire]], [[England]], though his family's roots lie in [[Inverness]], [[Scotland]], and "Cameron" is well known in Britain as a Scottish name.<br />
<br />
Cameron was educated at [[Eton College|Eton]], Britain's most prestigious public school (a "public school" in the UK referring to a privately run institution, as opposed to a "state school"), and at [[Brasenose College]], [[Oxford University|Oxford]], Britain's most ancient and prestigious university.<br />
<br />
Cameron is self-described as "upper middle class", though his bloodline is noble, and he is a direct descendent of William IV, and thus a distant cousin of HRH Queen Elizabeth II. His family has historically been involved in finance and banking, with his great great grandfather being head of HSBC in the late 19th century, and worked alongside the Rothschilds to finance the Russo-Japanese war. <br />
<br />
Cameron's leadership and indeed his own party are supported by businesses, as opposed to the liberal, socialist aligned Labour Party, led by [[Ed Miliband]]; which is funded and largely controlled by the [[trade union]]s. Many intervening leaders have been middle-class ([[Edward Heath]], [[Margaret Thatcher]]) or even working-class ([[John Major]]).<br />
<br />
Cameron's reluctance to discuss his past, citing the right to a private life before politics<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4340328.stm</ref> has led to class-based attacks on his education and ancestry from a small proportion of left-wing media sources and opposition members of Parliament.<br />
<br />
He has been married to Samantha since 1996. She is of direct noble bloodline, the daughter of 8th Baronet Sheffield, and a descendent of Charles II. They now have two sons and a daughter. Their eldest son, Ivan Cameron, died on February 25, 2009.<ref>[[BBC News]] - [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7909562.stm Cameron's 'beautiful boy' dies]</ref><br />
<br />
==Political career==<br />
Cameron's pre-parliamentary career included spells as a staffer for controversial Conservative politician [[Norman Lamont]] and as a PR executive. Cameron was elected to Parliament as MP for Witney in Oxfordshire at the 2001 general election. He was elected leader of the [[Conservative Party]] in December 2005, succeeding Michael Howard.<br />
<br />
In late June 2007, at the end of then-Prime Minister [[Tony Blair]]'s final Prime Minister's Questions session in the [[House of Commons]], David Cameron led his opposition party in giving the outgoing leader a standing ovation.<ref>[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1555758/Tony-Blair-steps-down-to-a-standing-ovation.html Tony Blair steps down to standing ovation] - Daily Telegraph, June 27, 2007</ref><br />
<br />
As UK Prime Minister, Cameron made the decision to hold the Brexit referendum<ref name="Alexander2016"/> and opposed the UK leaving the EU.<ref name="BBCJune2016">[https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-36615028 Brexit: David Cameron to quit after UK votes to leave EU].

''Breitbart News''. Retrieved September 14, 2019.</ref><br />
<br />
After his tenure as prime minister ended, Cameron continued speaking out against [[populism]], though he admitted that it is not enough for the [[liberal elite]]s simply to dismiss conservatives' concerns on issues such as mass migration.<ref>Deacon, Liam (June 10, 2018).

<br />
===China advocacy===<br />
After resigning as prime minister, Cameron became the head of a $1 billion fund that supports China's "Belt and Road" infrastructure plan, which it is using to increase its influence in the world. Cameron is one of several retired [[establishment]] European politicians working to advance China's interests.<ref>Crawford, Alex; Suzara, Patricia (July 3, 2018).

Retrieved July 12, 2018.</ref><br />
<br />
==Policies==<br />
Cameron has attempted to move the Conservative party towards what is perceived by some to be the centre ground of British politics. While the party under his leadership has expressed support for some traditional elements of Conservative policy, such as the importance of the [[family]], Cameron has also expressed a passionate concern about [[global warming]]. He has suggested a move towards [[privatization]] within the strongly-socialist [[National Health Service]], in an attempt to combat the economic failures resulting from the flawed socialist ideas upon which the organisation is based. Designed and originated by the leftist [[Labour Party]], the organisation is notorious for its bureaucracy and the failure of its left-wing values in an economic sense.<br />
<br />
Some traditional Conservatives, particularly those on the [[Thatcherism|Thatcherite]] wing of the party, have criticized Cameron for moving the party too far to the left. They point to surveys showing that many voters feel they no longer know what the Conservative Party stands for.<ref>http://www.yougov.com/archives/pdf/TEL060101018_1.pdf</ref> However, he has stated that he is "certainly a big [[Margaret Thatcher|Thatcher]] fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite."<ref name="new identity">[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4446864.stm "Cameron: Tories need new identity"], ''BBC News Online'', 17 November 2005, accessed 6 November 2006</ref> He has also described himself as a "liberal Conservative" (though "liberal" in British English does not have the same meaning as in the United States, and instead has the meaning of "centrist," "moderate" or "libertarian").<ref name="Rawnsley">Andrew Rawnsley, [http://observer.guardian.co.uk/focus/story/0,,1669957,00.html "'I'm not a deeply ideological person.

===NATO war in Libya===<br />
{{See also|NATO war in Libya|Globalism}}<br />
Cameron, French president [[Sarkozy]], and American [[progressive]] leader [[Obama]] seem to have assumed that a largely unknown, divided, and fractured group of insurgents could win through sheer political momentum, and could then be turned into a successful government. Within the first month it was obvious a "weak, divided, poorly led, and badly equipped and supplied set of rebel tribes can only hang on with the present level of air support" that was provided.<br />
<br />
The assault on Libya set off a frenzy of speculations about the real motive behind the war in the [[oil]]-rich country, with many analysts saying that under the guise of protecting civilians, as enshrined in the UNSC Resolution 1973, Washington and its Western allies are basically after the [[North Africa]]n country's vast oil reserves.<ref>[http://2012indyinfo.wordpress.com/2011/06/19/presstv-germany-slams-nato-mission-in-libya/ Germany slams NATO mission in Libya.]</ref><br />

In an article posted on the Market Oracle, Eric Encina observed:<br />
{{Cquote|One seldom mentioned fact by western politicians and media pundits: the Central Bank of Libya is 100% State Owned.... Currently, the Libyan government creates its own money, the Libyan Dinar, through the facilities of its own central bank. Few can argue that Libya is a [[sovereign]] nation with its own great resources, able to sustain its own economic destiny. One major problem for globalist banking cartels is that in order to do business with Libya, they must go through the Libyan Central Bank and its national currency, a place where they have absolutely zero dominion or power-broking ability. Hence, taking down the Central Bank of Libya (CBL) may not appear in the speeches of Obama, Cameron and Sarkozy but this is certainly at the top of the globalist agenda for absorbing Libya into its hive of compliant nations.<ref>Eric Encina,''[http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article27208.html Globalists Target 100% State Owned Central Bank of Libya,]'' Market Oracle.</ref>}}<br />
Ellen Brown adds,<br />
{{Cquote|Libya not only has oil. According to the [[IMF]], its central bank has nearly 144 tons of gold in its vaults. With that sort of asset base, who needs the BIS (Bank of International Settlements), the IMF and their rules.<ref>Ellen Brown, ''[http://readersupportednews.org/opinion2/289-134/5625-libya-all-about-oil-or-all-about-banking Libya: All About Oil, or All About Banking,]'' Reader Supported News, April 15, 2011.</ref>}}<br />
Gaddafi's proposal to introduce a gold dinar for Africa contravenes IMF rules and is designed to bypass them.<br />
<br />
On April 19, 2011, one month after Cameron, Sarkozy, and Obama asked the [[UN Security Council]] for authorization for a limited use of force, the UK ''[[Guardian (UK)|Guardian]]'' reported,<br />
{{Cquote|Britain is now publicly doing what it expressly said it would not do when the no-fly intervention began: putting boots on the ground in Libya. France is taking similar action. Given that the rebel tribes have convincingly demonstrated their inability to win on their own, given the sizable negatives for David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy of an open-ended, inconclusive conflict, and given Barack Obama's flat refusal to do any more, the question now is: how many more British and French boots will follow, sooner or later, in the advisers' fateful footsteps?....By encouraging and assisting rebel resistance, as [[George H. W. Bush|George Bush Snr]] did with the [[Shia]]s of southern [[Iraq]] in 1991, Britain and France risk worsening the plight of the Libyan civilians they are primarily pledged to defend.

Prime Minister [[Vladimir V. Putin]], in particular, has been scathing about [[Western alliance|Western intervention]] in Libya, comparing the Resolution 1973 to “a medieval call to the crusades” and saying “the so-called civilized community, with all its might, pounces on a small country, and ruins infrastructure that has been built over generations.” Mr. Putin returned to the subject of Libya repeatedly, despite acknowledging that foreign policy decisions were not within his portfolio as prime minister.

'''David Cameron''', born 9 October 1966, nicknamed '''Dodgy Dave''', is a [[establishment][[neocon]] [[warmonger]] and [[China]] stooge who served formerly as the Prime Minister of the [[United Kingdom]] (2010-2016) and leader of the British [[Tory Party]] (2006-2016) and, from November 2023 until July 2024, as Foreign Secretary. He announced the resignation of his position after [[Brexit|losing his campaign]] to Remain in the [[European Union]] in 2016. Cameron is a Europhile globalist and an asset of the [[Chinese Communist Party]].<br />
<br />
Following the May 2010 election, the Conservatives won the most seats but were short of a majority, resulting in a hung parliament. Labour Leader [[Gordon Brown]] resigned, and Cameron was appointed Prime Minister, leading a Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government. The Cameron premiership, particularly in coalition with the Lib Dems, advanced the [[homosexual agenda]] by legalising [[same-sex 'marriage'|same-sex marriage]],<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2013/02/06/lawmakers-approve-gay-marriage/ British Lawmakers Approve Gay Marriage]</ref> a move that Cameron wrongly views as "conservative".<br />
<br />
In the general election held May 7, 2015, Cameron's Conservatives won a majority of 331 seats in the House of Commons. <br />
<br />
Cameron made a surprise return to government under undemocratically chose centre-left Prime Minister [[Rishi Sunak]] in November 2023, when he was appointed Foreign Secretary.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/news/uk-leader-fires-interior-minister-who-accused-police-of-favoring-pro-palestinian-protesters/ Ex-Prime Minister David Cameron makes shock return to UK government as foreign secretary]</ref> Many on the right criticised this appointment because, as pointed out by ''[[The Daily Express]]'', Cameron's tenure as PM was marked by a "litany of errors, failures and blunders" on foreign policy.<ref>[https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1834483/David-Cameron-Foreign-Policy-blunders-list All of David Cameron's foreign policy blunders listed in full as he enters Foreign Office]</ref> UK political commentator [[Darren Grimes]] described the appointment as a "betrayal of the [[Brexit]] spirit", while ''[[Breitbart]]'' dubbed it a "globalist coup".<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/11/13/globalist-coup-brexit-loser-david-cameron-back-in-government-amid-purge-of-right-wing/ Globalist Coup: Brexit Loser David Cameron Back in Government Amid Purge of Right-Wing] </ref> Cameron was almost immediately criticised for his pro-China stances, being described as a "[[useful idiot]]" for the CCP.<ref>[https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/is-lord-cameron-a-useful-idiot-for-the-ccp/ Is Lord Cameron a ‘useful idiot’ for the CCP?]</ref> Cameron defends his support for [[genocidal]] Chinese communists, and pushed for further ties with [[Xi Jinping]]'s regime..<ref>[https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12789279/New-Foreign-Secretary-David-Cameron-defends-pro-China-policy-Prime-Minister-urges-Britain-engage-Beijing.html New Foreign Secretary David Cameron defends his pro-China policy as Prime Minister and urges Britain to 'engage' with Beijing]</ref><br />
<br />
==Personal==<br />
Cameron was born in [[London]], but spent his early years near Wantage in [[Oxfordshire]], [[England]], though his family's roots lie in [[Inverness]], [[Scotland]], and "Cameron" is well known in Britain as a Scottish name.<br />
<br />
Cameron was educated at [[Eton College|Eton]], Britain's most prestigious public school (a "public school" in the UK referring to a privately run institution, as opposed to a "state school"), and at [[Brasenose College]], [[Oxford University|Oxford]], Britain's most ancient and prestigious university.<br />
<br />
Cameron is self-described as "upper middle class", though his bloodline is noble, and he is a direct descendent of William IV, and thus a distant cousin of HRH Queen Elizabeth II. His family has historically been involved in finance and banking, with his great great grandfather being head of HSBC in the late 19th century, and worked alongside the Rothschilds to finance the Russo-Japanese war. <br />
<br />
Cameron's leadership and indeed his own party are supported by businesses, as opposed to the liberal, socialist aligned Labour Party, led by [[Ed Miliband]]; which is funded and largely controlled by the [[trade union]]s. Many intervening leaders have been middle-class ([[Edward Heath]], [[Margaret Thatcher]]) or even working-class ([[John Major]]).<br />
<br />
Cameron's reluctance to discuss his past, citing the right to a private life before politics<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4340328.stm</ref> has led to class-based attacks on his education and ancestry from a small proportion of left-wing media sources and opposition members of Parliament.<br />
<br />
He has been married to Samantha since 1996. She is of direct noble bloodline, the daughter of 8th Baronet Sheffield, and a descendent of Charles II. They now have two sons and a daughter. Their eldest son, Ivan Cameron, died on February 25, 2009.<ref>[[BBC News]] - [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7909562.stm Cameron's 'beautiful boy' dies]</ref><br />
<br />
==Political career==<br />
Cameron's pre-parliamentary career included spells as a staffer for controversial Conservative politician [[Norman Lamont]] and as a PR executive. Cameron was elected to Parliament as MP for Witney in Oxfordshire at the 2001 general election. He was elected leader of the [[Conservative Party]] in December 2005, succeeding Michael Howard.<br />
<br />
In late June 2007, at the end of then-Prime Minister [[Tony Blair]]'s final Prime Minister's Questions session in the [[House of Commons]], David Cameron led his opposition party in giving the outgoing leader a standing ovation.<ref>[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1555758/Tony-Blair-steps-down-to-a-standing-ovation.html Tony Blair steps down to standing ovation] - Daily Telegraph, June 27, 2007</ref><br />

==Policies==<br />
Cameron has attempted to move the Conservative party towards what is perceived by some to be the centre ground of British politics. While the party under his leadership has expressed support for some traditional elements of Conservative policy, such as the importance of the [[family]], Cameron has also expressed a passionate concern about [[global warming]]. He has suggested a move towards [[privatization]] within the strongly-socialist [[National Health Service]], in an attempt to combat the economic failures resulting from the flawed socialist ideas upon which the organisation is based. Designed and originated by the leftist [[Labour Party]], the organisation is notorious for its bureaucracy and the failure of its left-wing values in an economic sense.<br />
<br />
Some traditional Conservatives, particularly those on the [[Thatcherism|Thatcherite]] wing of the party, have criticized Cameron for moving the party too far to the left. They point to surveys showing that many voters feel they no longer know what the Conservative Party stands for.<ref>http://www.yougov.com/archives/pdf/TEL060101018_1.pdf</ref> However, he has stated that he is "certainly a big [[Margaret Thatcher|Thatcher]] fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite."<ref name="new identity">[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4446864.stm "Cameron: Tories need new identity"], ''BBC News Online'', 17 November 2005, accessed 6 November 2006</ref> He has also described himself as a "liberal Conservative" (though "liberal" in British English does not have the same meaning as in the United States, and instead has the meaning of "centrist," "moderate" or "libertarian").<ref name="Rawnsley">Andrew Rawnsley, [http://observer.guardian.co.uk/focus/story/0,,1669957,00.html "'I'm not a deeply ideological person.

Currently, the Libyan government creates its own money, the Libyan Dinar, through the facilities of its own central bank. Few can argue that Libya is a [[sovereign]] nation with its own great resources, able to sustain its own economic destiny. One major problem for globalist banking cartels is that in order to do business with Libya, they must go through the Libyan Central Bank and its national currency, a place where they have absolutely zero dominion or power-broking ability. Hence, taking down the Central Bank of Libya (CBL) may not appear in the speeches of Obama, Cameron and Sarkozy but this is certainly at the top of the globalist agenda for absorbing Libya into its hive of compliant nations.<ref>Eric Encina,''[http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article27208.html Globalists Target 100% State Owned Central Bank of Libya,]'' Market Oracle.</ref>}}<br />

{{Cquote|Britain is now publicly doing what it expressly said it would not do when the no-fly intervention began: putting boots on the ground in Libya. France is taking similar action. Given that the rebel tribes have convincingly demonstrated their inability to win on their own, given the sizable negatives for David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy of an open-ended, inconclusive conflict, and given Barack Obama's flat refusal to do any more, the question now is: how many more British and French boots will follow, sooner or later, in the advisers' fateful footsteps?....By encouraging and assisting rebel resistance, as [[George H.

Prime Minister [[Vladimir V. Putin]], in particular, has been scathing about [[Western alliance|Western intervention]] in Libya, comparing the Resolution 1973 to “a medieval call to the crusades” and saying “the so-called civilized community, with all its might, pounces on a small country, and ruins infrastructure that has been built over generations.” Mr. Putin returned to the subject of Libya repeatedly, despite acknowledging that foreign policy decisions were not within his portfolio as prime minister.

'''David Cameron''', born 9 October 1966, nicknamed '''Dodgy Dave''', is a [[neocon]] [[warmonger]] and [[China]] stooge who served formerly as the Prime Minister of the [[United Kingdom]] (2010-2016) and leader of the British [[Tory Party]] (2006-2016) and, from November 2023 until July 2024, as Foreign Secretary. He announced the resignation of his position after [[Brexit|losing his campaign]] to Remain in the [[European Union]] in 2016. Cameron is a Europhile globalist and an asset of the [[Chinese Communist Party]].<br />
<br />
Following the May 2010 election, the Conservatives won the most seats but were short of a majority, resulting in a hung parliament. Labour Leader [[Gordon Brown]] resigned, and Cameron was appointed Prime Minister, leading a Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government. The Cameron premiership, particularly in coalition with the Lib Dems, advanced the [[homosexual agenda]] by legalising [[same-sex 'marriage'|same-sex marriage]],<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2013/02/06/lawmakers-approve-gay-marriage/ British Lawmakers Approve Gay Marriage]</ref> a move that Cameron wrongly views as "conservative".<br />
<br />
In the general election held May 7, 2015, Cameron's Conservatives won a majority of 331 seats in the House of Commons. <br />
<br />
Cameron made a surprise return to government under undemocratically chose centre-left Prime Minister [[Rishi Sunak]] in November 2023, when he was appointed Foreign Secretary.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/news/uk-leader-fires-interior-minister-who-accused-police-of-favoring-pro-palestinian-protesters/ Ex-Prime Minister David Cameron makes shock return to UK government as foreign secretary]</ref> Many on the right criticised this appointment because, as pointed out by ''[[The Daily Express]]'', Cameron's tenure as PM was marked by a "litany of errors, failures and blunders" on foreign policy.<ref>[https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1834483/David-Cameron-Foreign-Policy-blunders-list All of David Cameron's foreign policy blunders listed in full as he enters Foreign Office]</ref> UK political commentator [[Darren Grimes]] described the appointment as a "betrayal of the [[Brexit]] spirit", while ''[[Breitbart]]'' dubbed it a "globalist coup".<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/11/13/globalist-coup-brexit-loser-david-cameron-back-in-government-amid-purge-of-right-wing/ Globalist Coup: Brexit Loser David Cameron Back in Government Amid Purge of Right-Wing] </ref> Cameron was almost immediately criticised for his pro-China stances, being described as a "[[useful idiot]]" for the CCP.<ref>[https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/is-lord-cameron-a-useful-idiot-for-the-ccp/ Is Lord Cameron a ‘useful idiot’ for the CCP?]</ref> Cameron defends his support for [[genocidal]] Chinese communists, and pushed for further ties with [[Xi Jinping]]'s regime..<ref>[https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12789279/New-Foreign-Secretary-David-Cameron-defends-pro-China-policy-Prime-Minister-urges-Britain-engage-Beijing.html New Foreign Secretary David Cameron defends his pro-China policy as Prime Minister and urges Britain to 'engage' with Beijing]</ref><br />
<br />
==Personal==<br />
Cameron was born in [[London]], but spent his early years near Wantage in [[Oxfordshire]], [[England]], though his family's roots lie in [[Inverness]], [[Scotland]], and "Cameron" is well known in Britain as a Scottish name.<br />
<br />
Cameron was educated at [[Eton College|Eton]], Britain's most prestigious public school (a "public school" in the UK referring to a privately run institution, as opposed to a "state school"), and at [[Brasenose College]], [[Oxford University|Oxford]], Britain's most ancient and prestigious university.<br />
<br />
Cameron is self-described as "upper middle class", though his bloodline is noble, and he is a direct descendent of William IV, and thus a distant cousin of HRH Queen Elizabeth II. His family has historically been involved in finance and banking, with his great great grandfather being head of HSBC in the late 19th century, and worked alongside the Rothschilds to finance the Russo-Japanese war. <br />
<br />
Cameron's leadership and indeed his own party are supported by businesses, as opposed to the liberal, socialist aligned Labour Party, led by [[Ed Miliband]]; which is funded and largely controlled by the [[trade union]]s. Many intervening leaders have been middle-class ([[Edward Heath]], [[Margaret Thatcher]]) or even working-class ([[John Major]]).<br />
<br />
Cameron's reluctance to discuss his past, citing the right to a private life before politics<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4340328.stm</ref> has led to class-based attacks on his education and ancestry from a small proportion of left-wing media sources and opposition members of Parliament.<br />
<br />
He has been married to Samantha since 1996. She is of direct noble bloodline, the daughter of 8th Baronet Sheffield, and a descendent of Charles II. They now have two sons and a daughter. Their eldest son, Ivan Cameron, died on February 25, 2009.<ref>[[BBC News]] - [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7909562.stm Cameron's 'beautiful boy' dies]</ref><br />
<br />
==Political career==<br />
Cameron's pre-parliamentary career included spells as a staffer for controversial Conservative politician [[Norman Lamont]] and as a PR executive. Cameron was elected to Parliament as MP for Witney in Oxfordshire at the 2001 general election. He was elected leader of the [[Conservative Party]] in December 2005, succeeding Michael Howard.<br />
<br />
In late June 2007, at the end of then-Prime Minister [[Tony Blair]]'s final Prime Minister's Questions session in the [[House of Commons]], David Cameron led his opposition party in giving the outgoing leader a standing ovation.<ref>[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1555758/Tony-Blair-steps-down-to-a-standing-ovation.html Tony Blair steps down to standing ovation] - Daily Telegraph, June 27, 2007</ref><br />
<br />
As UK Prime Minister, Cameron made the decision to hold the Brexit referendum<ref name="Alexander2016"/> and opposed the UK leaving the EU.<ref name="BBCJune2016">[https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-36615028 Brexit: David Cameron to quit after UK votes to leave EU].

===China advocacy===<br />
After resigning as prime minister, Cameron became the head of a $1 billion fund that supports China's "Belt and Road" infrastructure plan, which it is using to increase its influence in the world.

Retrieved July 12, 2018.</ref><br />
<br />
==Policies==<br />
Cameron has attempted to move the Conservative party towards what is perceived by some to be the centre ground of British politics. While the party under his leadership has expressed support for some traditional elements of Conservative policy, such as the importance of the [[family]], Cameron has also expressed a passionate concern about [[global warming]]. He has suggested a move towards [[privatization]] within the strongly-socialist [[National Health Service]], in an attempt to combat the economic failures resulting from the flawed socialist ideas upon which the organisation is based. Designed and originated by the leftist [[Labour Party]], the organisation is notorious for its bureaucracy and the failure of its left-wing values in an economic sense.<br />
<br />
Some traditional Conservatives, particularly those on the [[Thatcherism|Thatcherite]] wing of the party, have criticized Cameron for moving the party too far to the left. They point to surveys showing that many voters feel they no longer know what the Conservative Party stands for.<ref>http://www.yougov.com/archives/pdf/TEL060101018_1.pdf</ref> However, he has stated that he is "certainly a big [[Margaret Thatcher|Thatcher]] fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite."<ref name="new identity">[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4446864.stm "Cameron: Tories need new identity"], ''BBC News Online'', 17 November 2005, accessed 6 November 2006</ref> He has also described himself as a "liberal Conservative" (though "liberal" in British English does not have the same meaning as in the United States, and instead has the meaning of "centrist," "moderate" or "libertarian").<ref name="Rawnsley">Andrew Rawnsley, [http://observer.guardian.co.uk/focus/story/0,,1669957,00.html "'I'm not a deeply ideological person. I'm a practical one'"], ''Guardian Unlimited'', 18 December 2005, accessed 6 November 2006</ref> Some have gone so far as to claim that true conservatism is today represented in Britain not by the Conservative Party but by the [[UK Independence Party]]. [[Same-sex marriage|Same-sex "marriage"]] was legalized by Cameron's "conservative" government. Most of his party voted for it.<br />
<br />
Cameron has said: "My aim is to promote social justice, making sure that everyone has access to good schools, good healthcare and decent housing, take a lead in ending global poverty and do all we can to meet the great environmental threats of our age."<ref>http://www.conservatives.com/tile.do?def=david.cameron.about.page</ref> Some conservative politicians and commentators, notably [[Norman Tebbit]], have criticised him for prioritising issues of the environment and social justice over more traditionally Conservative policy areas, such as tax, immigration and foreign relations. Tebbit said: "Is he the party's [[Chairman Mao]] or [[Pol Pot]], intent on purging even the memory and name of [[Margaret Thatcher|Thatcherism]] before building a new modern compassionate green globally aware party somewhere on the left side of the middle?"<ref name="g1">[http://politics.guardian.co.uk/conservatives/story/0,,1698576,00.html Tories must retake centre ground says Cameron], ''Guardian Unlimited'', 31 January 2006</ref> However, Cameron has responded extensively to such criticisms by pointing out that the economic and social problems faced by modern-day Britain are radically different from those faced in the past; he has argued that the Conservative Party needs to re-take the [[centrist|centre ground]] of politics from the [[Labour Party]].<ref name="bbc1">[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4661024.stm Cameron denies 'betraying' Tories], BBC News, 30 January 2006</ref> He argued: "The change is not a betrayal. It is a recognition that the challenges faced by Britain are not the challenges of the 1970s. Social justice and economic efficiency are the common ground of British politics. We have to find the means of succeeding where the government has failed."<ref name="g1"/><br />
<br />
===General political orientation===<br />
Cameron describes himself as "pro globalisation, pro immigration, pro market economics."<ref name="Alexander2016">Alexander, Harriet (December 9, 2016).

===NATO war in Libya===<br />
{{See also|NATO war in Libya|Globalism}}<br />
Cameron, French president [[Sarkozy]], and American [[progressive]] leader [[Obama]] seem to have assumed that a largely unknown, divided, and fractured group of insurgents could win through sheer political momentum, and could then be turned into a successful government. Within the first month it was obvious a "weak, divided, poorly led, and badly equipped and supplied set of rebel tribes can only hang on with the present level of air support" that was provided.<br />
<br />
The assault on Libya set off a frenzy of speculations about the real motive behind the war in the [[oil]]-rich country, with many analysts saying that under the guise of protecting civilians, as enshrined in the UNSC Resolution 1973, Washington and its Western allies are basically after the [[North Africa]]n country's vast oil reserves.<ref>[http://2012indyinfo.wordpress.com/2011/06/19/presstv-germany-slams-nato-mission-in-libya/ Germany slams NATO mission in Libya.]</ref><br />

The base of the Conservative Party leans [[Eurosceptic]] as more than 2/3 of its members voted for [[Brexit]]. Most of its MPs claim to support Brexit,<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/may/15/tories-set-to-become-more-eurosceptic-campaign-group-says</ref> though many oppose Brexit if it means a clean break from the European Union.<br />
<br />
==British conservatism==<br />
British conservatism has its own distinctive tradition, separate both from that of continental European conservatism and from that of American conservatism. Traditional British conservatism is rooted in pragmatism, practicality and concrete experience: this reflects a broader historical preference in British culture for the practical over the theoretical and for the concrete over the abstract. In continental Europe, many conservatives in past times, such as the Frenchman [[Joseph de Maistre]], were strongly ideological and defended causes such as absolute monarchy and Roman Catholicism. By contrast, the heroes of British conservatism (such as Sir [[Edmund Burke]] in the eighteenth century, Sir [[Robert Peel]] and [[Benjamin Disraeli]] in the nineteenth, and Sir [[Winston Churchill]] in the twentieth) were moderate, pragmatic and non-ideological. While a more ideological strand of conservatism was in the ascendant during the leadership of [[Margaret Thatcher|Lady Thatcher]] (1975–1990), the older, pragmatic trend has reasserted itself in more recent years.<br />
<br />
==History since 1978==<br />
===1980s and 90s===<br />
{{See also|Margaret Thatcher}}<br />
The modern British Conservative Party ran the United Kingdom for nearly 20 years, beginning with Margaret Thatcher's victory for the Party in 1979. She came into office facing a British economy that had been crippled by industrial disputes, strikes, high unemployment, and collapsing public services, especially during the so-called 'Winter of Discontent' of 1978–9. Mrs. Thatcher turned that around, broke the iron grip of the trade unions, and restored the British economy to a free enterprise system that has continued to this day. She was succeeded by [[John Major]] in 1990, and, to the surprise of the media, Major won the general election in 1992 and extended the Conservative Party's power until 1997. <br />
<br />
By 1997 the [[Labour Party]] had finally embraced the more conservative direction for the country and abandoned many of its socialist economic policies of the past. Economic difficulties, including a dispute over whether the UK should join the currency of the European Union, hurt the Conservative Party further. This was coupled with a perception that the party had become corrupt, with a number of high-profile members of the party being involved in financial and sexual scandals. The Labour Party won in a landslide in 1997 and held power until 2010. <br />
<br />
Major was soon after replaced by [[William Hague]], whose election as party leader was seen as an affirmation that the party wanted to continue with its [[Thatcherite]] policies. Hague was the victim of smears and attacks by a media which became Labour-biased to an extent never before seen in British history, and any attempt he made to state his policies or attack the government was routinely ignored (the UK has media regulations similar to the [[Fairness Doctrine]], but does not regulate what the media are supposed to report, only how much time they allocate to each party). The 2001 election went little better than the previous for the Conservatives, for which Hague accepted responsibility and stepped down as leader. [[Iain Duncan Smith]] replaced Hague, seemingly getting elected for no reason other than the fact that he was endorsed by Thatcher, and made no real impact as party leader. After passing up chances to attack the government for their role in [[Operation Iraqi Freedom]] (which had far less support in the UK than it did in the US), the party decided that enough was enough and Duncan Smith was removed as leader in late 2003. [[Michael Howard]] was seen by many as the only possible man to take the Conservatives forward, and was elected as the new party leader without opposition. A far more adept period of leadership saw a recovery at the 2005 election, halving Labour's majority in the House of Commons. A few weeks later, Howard announced that while the recovery of the Conservative Party had begun, he had done all he could as party leader, and so would step down once a successor had been elected.<br />
<br />
===Moderate shift and David Cameron===<br />
{{See also|David Cameron}}<br />
<!--[[Image:Caroline Spelman.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Caroline Spelman, the Conservative Party Chairman]] --><br />
Since the early 2000s, the Conservative Party leaders have softened its conservative stance on social and fiscal issues, and this has increased its popularity with the voters. Particularly since David Cameron – a self-declared "liberal conservative" (which in British English means "moderate conservative") – became leader of the Conservative Party, their support in the country has risen dramatically, however this is also due to the media-perpetuated anti-war feeling within the United Kingdom following [[Tony Blair]]'s era, coupled with the unpopularity of [[Gordon Brown]]'s government<ref>http://politics.guardian.co.uk/speeches/story/0,,1869970,00.html</ref> and recent polls.<ref>http://www.icmresearch.co.uk/reviews/2007/Guardian%20-%20Jan/guardian-jan-2007.asp</ref><ref>http://politics.guardian.co.uk/labour/story/0,,2016791,00.html</ref><br />
<br />
Cameron could be seen as more moderate than many previous leaders. His policies gravitated towards a more "green" outlook, though he pursued a more moderate approach than left-wingers and greens supported.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/environment/blog/2016/apr/20/david-cameron-hug-a-husky-green-legacy-10-years</ref> As with every Conservative leader since 1945, he has also praised Britain's socialized healthcare system, the [[National Health Service|NHS]]; but has also considered privatisation of sections of the service in an attempt to decrease the deficit at which it currently operates. The party has also continued to support some traditional elements of Conservative policy, such as support for the family.{{citation needed}}<br />
<br />
In 2013, Cameron supported the legalization of [[same-sex "marriage"]] against "universal" advice from colleagues, the majority of his own party's MPs and his own mother.<ref>https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/david-cameron-ignored-tory-mps-and-his-mum-over-legalisation-of-gay-marriage-10516205.html</ref><br />
<br />
After forming the Coalition Government in 2010, Cameron's popularity rapidly declined, as indicated by various opinion polls conducted by the media. However, the Conservative Party gained a slim majority in the 2015 general election. During this time, the [[United Kingdom Independence Party]] grew to become a serious rival of the party, sitting on its Right.<br />

<div>[[Image:Peter_Hitchens.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Peter Hitchens]]<br />
'''Peter Jonathan Hitchens''' (28 October 1951, [[Malta]]) is a [[British]] [[journalist]], [[author]] and broadcaster. He currently writes for the British weekly [[newspaper]], [[The Mail on Sunday]]. Hitchens was a former [[Trotskyism|Trotskyist]] and member of the [[International Socialists]] from 1969 to 1975, later joining the British [[Labour Party]] from 1979 to 1983. He left the party when he became a political reporter at the ''Daily Express'', thinking it wrong to carry a party card when directly reporting politics.<ref name="anger" /> He also studied politics at [[York University]] between 1970 and 1973. <br />
<br />
However, in his early 30's he returned to the [[conservatism]] and [[Anglicanism]] of his upbringing<ref>'''Katz, Ian''' ''When Christopher met Peter'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20080517104151/http://books.guardian.co.uk/hay2005/story/0,15880,1495897,00.html The Guardian, May 31 2005] (Archived)</ref> and in 1997 he joined the [[Conservative Party]], believing it to be the democratic resistance to [[Tony Blair]]'s ''New Labour''. Dissatisfied with the lack of direction of the Conservative Party, he left it in 2003 and now asserts that the only way forward is to completely dismantle and rebuild the party. Politically, Hitchens supports social, moral and cultural conservatism, and [[classic liberal]]ism, not dissimilar to those of [[American]] [[paleoconservative]]s. Hitchens describes himself as a [[Edmund Burke|Burkean]] conservative.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-19211869 |title= Five Minutes With Peter Hitchens |publisher= The BBC | location = UK |date=10 August 2012 |accessdate= 11 August 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
He has been a journalist for over 25 years, much of that time writing for the [[Daily Express]], which he left after it was taken over by '''Richard Desmond''', who had generated his wealth as a publisher of [[pornography|pornographic]] magazines. Hitchens was [[moral]]ly opposed to this, and moved to the [[Daily Mail|Daily Mail's]] sister publication, The Mail On Sunday. He has also worked as a [[political]] reporter, a [[diplomatic]] and defence specialist, and as a foreign correspondent in both [[Moscow]] and [[Washington, D.C.]]<br />
<br />
He is a frequent critic of [[political correctness]]. He is the younger brother of the late [[Militant atheism|antitheist]] writer [[Christopher Hitchens]].<br />

He has been described by the [[left-wing]] [[The Guardian|Guardian]] newspaper as: "The Mail on Sunday's fulminator-in-chief" and his columns as "molten [[Old Testament]] fury shot through with visceral wit."<ref name="anger">'''Silver, James''' ''Look forward in anger'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20131220001434/https://www.theguardian.com/media/2005/nov/14/mailonsunday.mondaymediasection The Guardian, November 14 2005] (archived)</ref> Hitchens is uncompromising with his moral and political stance, describing Britain as a land of "burglaries, muggings, swearing, pools of vomit, [[Multiple-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus|MRSA]], rave parties and traveller encampments"; [[Social housing|council estates]] as "surrounded by the tattooed, with their pit bulls and serial partners, crack dens, joy-riders, open-all-hours pubs," and the police as "wooden, officious twerps in dayglo jackets" who have sided with the lawless and given up on crime. Of single mothers, he wrote: "It cannot be long before Britain has its first 24-year-old granny. When you abolish husbands and fathers that is what you get. As the rules of civilised life are swept away and the only people interested in getting married are lesbian clergywomen, there will soon be thousands of them." Hitchens lays the blame at the door of the [[liberal]] left-wing: "Like several governments before it, Labour has actively encouraged promiscuity by undermining marriage, promoting 'alternative lifestyles' and preaching immorality in schools - and, of course, by continuing to subsidise the results." He has also criticised [[immigration]], which is "limitless" and "unmonitored"; [[Tony Blair]]'s ''New Labour'' - "a horrible rabble of fakes, wreckers and frauds" who are "dismantling Britain as a free country"; the Conservative Party - "the Useless party"; the [[EU]] - "horrible", "a monster", "anti-British"; and liberal left-wing intellectuals - "hell-bent on turning the UK into a meaningless, history-free and cultureless wilderness".<ref name="anger" /> However, Hitchens has also criticized Conservative politicians, describing free trade and privatization as "the con that ruined Britain." On Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, he was critical, and wrote "I am so sorry now that I fell for the great Thatcher-Reagan promise. I can’t deny that I did. I believed all that stuff about privatisation and free trade and the unrestrained market. I think I may even have been taken in by the prophecies of a great share-owning democracy." <ref>{{cite web|url= http://hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/2016/04/privatisation-free-trade-shares-for-all-the-great-con-that-ruined-britain.html |title= Privatisation! Free trade! Shares for all! The great con that ruined Britain |publisher= The Mail on Sunday | location = UK |date=3 April 2016 |accessdate= 18 December 2016}}</ref><br />
<br />
His outspoken criticism has predictably made him unpopular with many politicians as well as the left-wing press: [[Gerry Adams]], leader of the [[IRA]]'s political wing ([[Sinn Féin]]) called for him to be "decommissioned"; Tony Blair, while [[Prime Minister]], told him to "sit down and stop being bad" for daring to ask him a difficult question; and Conservative Party leader [[David Cameron]] refused to allow him an interview, a rebuff Hitchens took as a compliment. Hitchens' book "The Abolition of Britain" has been described as "the most sustained, internally logical and powerful attack on Tony Blair and all his works".<ref>''Peter Hitchens' biog'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20060429043055/http://hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/2006/02/peter_hitchens_.html The Mail on Sunday, 28 February 2006] (Archived)</ref><br />
<br />
He has made a detailed study of the [[United Kingdom|UK]]'s [[crime]] problem and the negative changes in policing and the police force, leading to his book "The Abolition of Liberty". He is strongly critical of the use of drugs to control the behaviour of children, and has vigorously questioned the existence of the disorder [[Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder|ADHD]]. He has argued that parents who want single [[vaccination]]s for their children rather than the controversial [[Combination vaccine|triple]] [[Measles, Mumps, Rubella vaccine controversy|MMR]] should be given them on the [[National Health Service|NHS]], and has challenged Tony Blair and Prime Minister [[Gordon Brown]] to say openly if their own young sons have been given the MMR they are forcing on others.<ref>''If MMR is safe, why persecute its critics?'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20150715125431/http://hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/2007/07/if-mmr-is-safe-.html The Mail on Sunday, 10 July 2007] Accessed July 19, 2007</ref> He has opposed the introduction of identity cards and attacked what he believes is the Labour government's assault on ancient English liberties.<ref>''Big Brother Watches Britain'' [http://www.amconmag.com/2006/2006_05_08/article.html The American Conservative, May 8 2006] (Archived)</ref> <br />
<br />
He describes [[intelligent design]] as being valuable as a sceptical current critical of [[Darwinism|Darwinist]] orthodoxy and intolerance, although not as a free-standing theory, but says: "I am not a scientist... My own view on the controversy...can be summarised in the words 'I have no idea who is right, and nor have they'."<ref>''Intelligence and design'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20150425064731/http://hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/2006/12/intelligence_an.html The Mail on Sunday, December 5 2006] (Archived)</ref><br />

'''Canada''' is a so-called Representative [[Democracy]] in [[North America]], which extends from the [[Pacific Ocean]] in the west to the [[Atlantic Ocean]] in the east and northward to the [[Arctic Ocean]]. Canada is the second largest in the world behind [[Russia]]. It has the longest coastline of any nation, and the longest border with the [[United States]] in the south and northwest. Its border with the [[U.S.]] is the longest undefended border in the world.<br />
<br />
Canada's motto, ''A Mari usque ad Mare'' (From sea to sea), is based on [[Bible|biblical]] scripture: "He shall have dominion from sea to sea and from the river unto the ends of the earth (Psalm 72:8)."<ref>[http://www.pch.gc.ca/progs/cpsc-ccsp/sc-cs/arm2_e.cfm The Arms of Canada- Description]</ref><br />

<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Canada originated in 1535 by [[Jacques Cartier]] is based on the Iroquoian word "kanata", meaning "village."<ref name="Canadian_Encylopedia">[http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&ArticleId=A0001216 The Canadian Encyclopedia]</ref> By 1545, Europeans began referring to this region as Canada.<br />
<br />
The name ''Dominion of Canada'' was adopted during [[British North America Act|confederation]] in 1867. The name continued until the [[Constitution Act]] of 1982, when "Canada" became the legal name. Canada Day, on July 1, used to known as be Dominion Day.<br />
<br />
== Anthem==<br />
[[File:E-canada.jpg|thumb|450px|political map of Canada]]<br />
The Canadian national anthem, '[[O Canada]]', was written by Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier as a poem, to which music, composed by Calixa Lavall&eacute;e, was later added, in 1880. The original was composed in French, and was first translated into English by Dr. Thomas Bedford Richardson of Toronto, Ontario, in 1906. However, it was not officially adopted as the national anthem until 1980.<ref>[http://www.pch.gc.ca/progs/cpsc-ccsp/sc-cs/anthem_e.cfm National Anthem: O Canada]</ref> It is important to distinguish between 'O Canada', the national anthem, and 'God Save The Queen', which is the Royal anthem, played as a salute to Her Majesty [[Queen Elizabeth II]] as Queen of Canada. The English lyrics and French lyrics have several notable differences, with the French version being slightly longer.<br />
<br />
==Geography==<br />
<br />
At the time of Confederation, Canada was comprised of four provinces: Upper Canada (now Ontario), Lower Canada (now Québec), Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. Since that time, six additional provinces have joined Canada or have been created. From west to east, the provinces are [[British Columbia]], [[Alberta]], [[Saskatchewan]], [[Manitoba]], [[Ontario]], [[Québec]], [[New Brunswick]], [[Prince Edward Island]], [[Nova Scotia]], and [[Newfoundland|Newfoundland and Labrador]]. Newfoundland was the last province to join Canada, in 1949. The provinces all elect a single (unicameral) legislature, headed by Premier, who is selected the same way as the Prime Minister. A Lieutenant-Governor represents the Queen, similar to the Governor General. <br />
Canada has three territories: the [[Yukon Territory]], the [[Northwest Territories]], and [[Nunavut]],. Territories have only have those powers delegated to them by the federal government. Nunavut is the newest territory, created as a homeland for the Inuit people in 1999.<br />
<br />
*Area: 9.9 million km<sup>2</sup>. (3.8 million sq. mi.); second-largest country in the world. <br />
*Cities: Capital—Ottawa (pop. 1,017,449). Other major cities—Toronto (2,794,356), Montreal (1,762,949), Calgary (1,306,784), Edmonton (1,010,899), Winnipeg (749,607), Mississauga (717,961), Vancouver (662,248), Brampton (656,480), Hamilton (569,353), Surrey (568,322), Quebec City (549,459) and Halifax (439,819). <br />
*Terrain: Mostly plains with mountains in the west and lowlands in the southeast. <br />
*Climate: Temperate to arctic. <br />

<br />
In 2005 the city of [[Vancouver]], [[British Columbia]] surprisingly was voted{{By whom?}} "the world's best place to live" in the world.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4306936.stm Vancouver is "best place to live"] ("Canadian cities scored well, as did Austria's Vienna and Switzerland's Geneva, because they are not seen as targets for terror attacks.")</ref> Calgary has been named on several occasions the world's cleanest city.<br />
Canada's population is increasingly urban, with 6 cities recording a population over 1 million ([[Toronto]], [[Montreal]], [[Vancouver]], [[Ottawa]]-Gatineau, [[Calgary]], [[Edmonton]]); these 6 cities represent over 45% of Canada's population. Canada is becoming an increasingly multicultural country, with most new immigrants settling in [[Toronto]], [[Montreal]] and [[Vancouver]]. [[Toronto]] is the world's most multicultural city, with 43% a member of a visible minority.<ref>http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/story.html?id=bb0fee45-b305-490a-b161-a21bcb1d7329&k=34160</ref><br />
<br />
In comparing the suicide rates between Canada and the US, Canada has a slightly higher rate.<ref>[http://www.who.int/mental_health/prevention/suicide/suiciderates/en/ WHO: Suicide rates]</ref> It has been suggested that this slightly higher rate of suicide is induced by Seasonal Affective Disorder, a mental health disorder prevalent in northern countries due the significantly reduced or non-existent daylight hours during the winter. Severe episodes of Seasonal Affective Disorder can cause suicidal thoughts.<ref>http://www.cmha.ca/bins/content_page.asp?cid=3-86-93-291</ref><br />
<br />
====Culture====<br />
[[File:Canada Orchestra.jpg|thumb|Collegiate band.]]<br />
Due to its colonial past, Canadian culture has historically been heavily influenced by British culture. Quebec maintains a French culture but has been largely cut off from Parisian trends for 250 years. Since 1800 Canadian culture has been greatly influenced by American culture, due to the proximity and the migration of people, ideas, and capital. Amidst this, Canadian culture has developed some unique characteristics, and many Canadian movies, authors, television shows, and musicians are equally popular in United States. The Canadian television industry has a local content requirement, which requires the use of Canadian actors in Canadian productions. Canadian culture has also been influenced by indigenous cultures, and by immigrant groups from around the world. It has the highest per capita immigration rate of any country in the world, with the percentage growing every day.<ref>http://www.statcan.ca/Daily/English/080402/d080402a.htm</ref><br />
<br />
Canada has two federal official languages, French and English. The province of Quebec has French as its official language, New Brunswick both French and English, making it the only bilingual province, and all other provinces English (although in some parts of Ontario French has special status). The territory of Nunavut has Inuktitut and Innuinaqtun as official languages in addition to French and English, the North West territories has eleven official languages, and the Yukon recognizes French and English.<br />
<br />
Canada reflects significantly more liberal social policies than the neighboring states of the northern U.S. One such example is the legalizing of [[same-sex "marriage"]] in June 2005.<ref>[http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2005/06/28/samesex050628.html CBC news article on passing of gay marriage law]</ref> Another is its single-payer health care system.<br />
<br />
Canadian culture is said to put stress on open-mindedness and tolerance of multiple viewpoints.<ref>See [https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global/main.jhtml?xml=/global/features/cucanada.xml&source=EMC-exp_01102008 National Cultural Profiles, a guide from the London ''Telegraph'' to the thinking patterns of all the world's major cultures]</ref> Canadian opinion shows a strong sense of wanting to be independent of the U.S., although their economy, society, and culture closely resembles the U.S., and most Canadians live a short drive from the border. Canada is usually contrasted as a "cultural mosaic" to the United States' "melting pot". Canadian and U.S. polls habitually confirm citizens of both countries view the relationship with each other in a highly positive light, and consider each other with a special respect afforded to common allies.<ref>http://www.freeonlineresearchpapers.com/canadian-cultural-mosaic-american-melting-pot</ref><br />

===Sports===<br />
See [[Canadian sports]]<br />
<br />
Notable sports which are enjoyed throughout Canada include [[hockey]], [[curling]], [[lacrosse]], and [[football]]. Canada collected 18 medals in the Summer Olympics, more per capita than the United States but less than Australia. The country finished third overall in the Torino Winter Olympics, with a total of 24 medals, one less than the United States and 10 more than next-place [[Sweden]]. The most recent winter Olympics was held in 2010 in Vancouver and Whistler. Canada finished third overall in the medal count and was first in the gold medal count with 14 gold. This was the first instance of Canada winning a gold medal on home ground and a moment of national pride.<br />
<br />
====Education====<br />
[[Image:800px-Canada-satellite.jpg|right|thumb|200px|A satellite image of Canada.]]<br />
Education in Canada is the responsibility of provincial and territorial governments; curriculum and marking schemes are completely removed from the control of the federal government. Each province uses a different method of administering education, with variation in the number of years and the curriculum. Quebec, for example, has five years of secondary school finishing at the equivalent of grade 11 followed by two years of CEGEP, while Ontario has two years of kindergarten. Most provinces have kindergarten with school starting at age 5 going to grade 12 (age 17) as part of the public system. Some provinces have standardized provincial exams at the end of secondary school and/or at other designated grades.<br />

Several provinces have two publicly funded school systems: public and private(either corporate or religious). The constitution also guarantees education in one's first official language and, as such, all provinces and territories have both English and French language schooling. Additionally, private schools both religious and secular exist throughout the country. Alberta has an additional category, known as charter schools. Charter schools are schools that have been created in the community to surround a particular theme. They could be artistic, vocational, etc.<br />
<br />
A source of comparison is the Human Development Index, a measurement of literacy, education, life expectancy and standard of living. Using this scale, Canada scores +.967 and the U.S. +950.<br />

====Religion====<br />
''See also:'' [[Canada and irreligion]]<br />
<br />
For the total population, in 2001, 12.9 million (44%) were Roman Catholic, with 8.7 million Protestants (29%). 4.9 million (16% ) report no religious affiliation (including atheists and agnostics). Other religions of significance in Canada include 580,000 Muslims; 330,000 Jews; 300,000 Buddhists; 297,000 Hindus; and 278,000 Sikhs.<ref>See [http://www40.statcan.gc.ca/l01/cst01/demo30a-eng.htm "Population by religion, by province and territory (2001 Census)"]</ref> <br />
[[File:Gurion Hyman Jewish people of Canada.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Jewish people of Canada.]]<br />
Catholicism formerly dominated Quebec until the "[[Quiet Revolution]]" of the 1960s, which has greatly reduced the power of the Catholic Church in Quebec, and its participation rates.<br />
<br />
The proportion attending religious services on a regular basis has declined over the past 20 years. According to the General Social Survey (GSS), 21% of Canadians aged 15 and over reported they attended a religious service at least once a week in 2005, down from 30% in 1985.<ref>Colin Lindsay, "Canadians attend weekly religious services less than 20 years ago," [http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/89-630-x/2008001/article/10650-eng.htm ''Statistics Canada'' (2008)]</ref> Between 1985 and 2004, the share of Canadians aged 15 and older reporting no religious affiliation increased by seven percentage points from 12% to 19%. 37% of Canadians who rarely attend formal services nevertheless regularly engage in personal religious practices. Of of those who had not attended any religious services over the previous year, 27% engaged in weekly religious practices on their own. Overall this group of adults who regularly engage in private religious practices, but infrequently or never attend religious services, represent, 21% of the adult population. This pattern was most prevalent among older Canadians.<ref>Warren Clark and Grant Schellenberg, "Who's religious?" [http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/11-008-x/2006001/9181-eng.htm '"Statistics Canada'' (2008)]</ref><br />
<br />
Civil liberties organizations, the media, and some members of Parliament occasionally criticized federal and provincial human rights commissions and tribunals for their application of hate speech restrictions included in federal and provincial human rights acts, claiming that the commissions and tribunals at times limited free speech and expression, and religious rights. The commissions are required by law to process all complaints they receive.<br />
<br />
A complaint against the editor of ''Catholic Insight'', alleging the magazine promoted hatred against homosexuals, remained before the Canadian Human Rights Commission at the end of 2008. The complainant alleged that he was upholding Catholic teaching on homosexuality in the magazine.<br />
<br />
In June 2008 members of the Ontario legislature voted unanimously to maintain the tradition of reading the Lord's Prayer in the provincial legislature and to add a rotation of prayers from other major religious traditions and a moment of silent reflection for atheists. The vote was prompted by a proposal by Ontario's premier in February 2008 to discontinue the religious observance.<br />
<br />
In July 2022 the Trudeau dictatorship imposed sanctions on Russian Orthodox Patriarch His Holiness Archbishop Kirill. Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman [[Maria Zakharova]] observed, "Only [[satanist]]s could have imposed sanctions on the patriarch."<ref>https://srbin.info/en/svet/zaharova-o-potezu-kanade-sankcije-patrijarhu-su-mogli-da-uvedu-samo-satanisti/</ref><br />
<br />
==Government==<br />
<br />
The government of Canada is split into two orders, federal and provincial, as outlined by the BNA Act. Each has very specific responsibilities, with some overlap. For instance, universal health care is mandated by the Federal Government, but it is administered by the Provincial Governments. Neither level has supremacy over the other. The Federal Government is run out of [[Ottawa]], [[Ontario]]; the provincial governments are run out the ten provincial capitals.<br />
[[File:Trudeau Parubiy.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Justin Trudeau meeting with Ukrainian [[neo-Nazi]] party founder [[Andriy Parubiy]] just before the [[Maidan coup]].<ref>https://tnc.news/2022/03/15/trudeau-freeland-met-with-ukrainian-neo-nazi-party-cofounder/</ref>]]<br />
The federal parliament is bicameral, including both a lower house - the Canadian House of Commons - and an upper house - the Canadian Senate. The parliamentary system is based on the British parliament. Members of Parliament represent specific geographical areas, generally chosen to have approximately equal population. A single member is elected from each on a [[first past the post]] system. The [[prime minister]] is usually the leader of the party with the most seats, though two or more parties may form a [[coalition]] to form a government. The governor General (GG) thus appoints the Prime minister.<br />
<br />
The Senate is made up of senators appointed for life by the prime minister (acting on behalf of the Governor General).<br />
<br />
In almost all cases, Acts of Parliament are created in the House of Commons. After passing three readings in the House of Commons, the bill is passed to the Senate. The job of the Senate is to further debate the proposed legislation, before passing it to the Governor General for Royal Assent. The Governor General is the official representative of Her Majesty [[Queen Elizabeth II]], Queen of Canada. The senators and the governor general are appointed positions by the sitting government. Senators are "lifetime" (until 75 years old) appointments and the Governor General will sit for, approximately, five yerars. The Prime Minister of Canada is the head of Government of Canada, acting as the Minister of the Crown, a practise inherited from the British system. The PM's term can last up to five years.<br />
<br />
All provincial legislatures are unicameral. The legislative process for provincial legislation is the same as for federal legislation, except that there is no Senate and the legislation is given royal assent by the provincial Lieutenants Governor, who represent the monarch at the provincial level.<br />
<br />
From 1841 to 1844, the capital city of what would become Canada was located in [[Kingston|Kingston, Ontario]]. Subsequently, the capital alternated between [[Toronto]] and [[Montreal]] until 1857, when the capital moved to [[Ottawa|Ottawa, Ontario]].<br />

<br />
On October 19, 2015, Liberal Party [[racist]] Justin Trudeau was elected; he was re-elected in 2021.<br />
[[File:Freeland nazism.PNG|right|350px|thumb|Vice premier [[Chrystia Freeland]] holding a black and red "Blood and Soil" Nazi banner with the words, ''[[Slava Ukraini]]'', the fascist Ukrainian equivalent to ''[[Heil Hitler]]''.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/canadas-deputy-pm-caught-holding-pro-nazi-scarf-at-ukraine-rally</ref>]]<br />
On February 6, 2006, [[Stephen Harper]], leader of the Conservative Party, became Canada's twenty-second prime minister, succeeding Liberal Paul Martin. A policy wonk from Alberta, Harper rose from the ranks of conservative political party staffers. In Parliament, he became Leader of the Opposition (2002-6). In 2003 he became head of the western-based Canadian Alliance. He was elected the first leader of the Conservative Party of Canada when it was created in 2003 through the merger of Harper's Canadian Alliance and Peter MacKay's Progressive Conservative Party. The January 23, 2006 election victory by the Conservative Party ended twelve years of Liberal Party rule that, in the end, was tainted by accusations of corruption and ethical missteps. In the federal election on October 14, 2008, the Conservatives won 38% of the vote and formed a second minority government with 143 seats in the House of Commons. The Liberals won 26% of the vote and 77 seats in the House of Commons. As the party with the second-largest number of seats, the Liberals form the "official opposition."<br />
<br />
The Conservatives made unexpected gains in Quebec by winning ten seats in the January 2006 election, but failed to increase their number of seats in the province in the 2008 election. The separatist Bloc Quebecois (BQ) had a majority (49) of Quebec's 75 seats (the BQ runs candidates only in Quebec). The left-leaning New Democratic Party (NDP) had 37 seats, and two independents also sat in Parliament. Harper beat off a threatening no-confidence vote in late 2008 by warning that a government that included the BQ separatists—who want Quebec to break away from Canada—was hostile to Canada's national unity.<br />
<br />
On May 2, 2011, there was another election. The outcome was very dramatic and ground breaking. The Liberals traditionally placing first or second were reduced to just 34 seats becoming the third party of Canada. This happened from vote splitting in Ontario in which the leftists split their votes between the Liberals and the NDP. The Bloc Quebecois were destroyed in Quebec as the so-called "Orange Crush" of the NDP swept that province taking 59 out of 75 seats, leaving the BQ with a mere 4 seats. The NDP had their best results of all time and for the first time in history became the Official Opposition. The Conservatives came out on top though with 166 seats giving them their coveted majority. The Conservative lost the election of 2015 to the Liberal Party by a large margin.<br />
<br />
Canada is ranked 5th on the [[Fraser Institute]]'s [https://www.fraserinstitute.org/economic-freedom/map?page=map&year=2014 Economic Freedom Index], with a score of 7.98 out of 10.<br />

On April 1, 2021, [[Fox News]] host [[Tucker Carlson]] took aim at Canadian "COVID-19 hotels" created and funded by Liberal party boss Justin Trudeau, which Carlson compared with internment camps and which he pointed out illegally violate human rights by forcing Canadian travelers returning from overseas vacations to either be detained for quarantine at the facilities or risk heavy fines and imprisonment.<ref>[https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/tucker-carlson-canadas-covid-internment-camps-violate-the-most-basic-human-rights Tucker Carlson: Canada’s COVID internment camps violate ‘the most basic human rights’] at LifeSiteNews</ref> Carlson also reported on the substandard conditions of the detainment facilities, including food and water shortages, missing locks on doors and female detainees being sexually assaulted, and he also criticized state broadcaster the CBC for spreading [[disinformation]] about the facilities. In a similar earlier criticism of those facilities and the Trudeau regime's actions, Rebel News reporter Keean Bexte, who had similarly been illegally targeted and coerced after returning from an assignment in Florida, compared them to [[gulag]]s, pointed out that what the Trudeau regime is doing flagrantly violates sections of the Charter and announced that Rebel News would be suing the regime to force the abolition of the pandemic facilities program.<ref>[https://www.rebelnews.com/no_covid_jails_donation Update: We're suing the Trudeau government over COVID jails] at Rebel News</ref> On April 26, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the "COVID-19 hotels" violated Charter protections (specifically, against Section 7, covering the right to life, liberty and security of person, and Section 9, covering the right to not be arbitrarily detained), though it did not issue an injunction against the program; a full hearing on the constitutionality of said facilities is scheduled for June 1–3, 2021.<ref>[https://www.jccf.ca/federal-court-rules-isolation-hotels-violate-charter-protection-against-arbitrary-detention-declines-to-issue-injunction/ Federal Court agrees isolation hotels violate Charter protection against arbitrary detention, declines to issue injunction]</ref><br />
<br />
On April 26, 2021, the ''Toronto Sun'' newspaper published the results of a study by Douglas W. Allen, an economics professor at Simon Fraser University in the Vancouver suburb of Burnaby, British Columbia, indicating that the CCP flu lockdowns are ineffective and that the long-term societal harms of the lockdowns, including job losses and mental health challenges, are 282 times greater than any presumed benefits.<ref>[https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/furey-new-canadian-study-breaks-down-ineffectiveness-and-harms-of-lockdowns FUREY: New Canadian study breaks down 'ineffectiveness' and harms of lockdowns] at the Toronto Sun</ref> On the basis of that report, independent (formerly [[Conservative Party of Canada|Conservative]]) Member of Parliament Derek Sloan pointed out that the lockdowns are destroying Canadian communities and that few politicians in Canada were willing to oppose the lockdown diktats due to cowardice and lack of courage;<ref>[https://www.rebelnews.com/lockdowns_are_destroying_our_communities_derek_sloan_with_ezra_levant Lockdowns are destroying our communities | Derek Sloan with Ezra Levant] at Rebel News</ref> Sloan also spoke out against "vaccine passports" and the mass injection of children with the experimental CCP flu "vaccines", calling them "...an absolute negligent crime against Canadians."<ref>[https://www.rebelnews.com/it_is_an_absolute_negligent_crime_against_canadians_derek_sloan_on_experimental_covid_vaccines "It is an absolute negligent crime against Canadians": Derek Sloan on experimental COVID vaccines] at Rebel News</ref><br />
<br />
Prior to an anti-lockdown rally in Toronto on May 15, 2021, [[People's Party of Canada]] leader Maxime Bernier stated in an interview with Rebel News reporter Alexa Lavoie that all CCP flu lockdowns in Canada should be ended immediately, citing how the lockdowns have negatively affected many small businesses across the country; he also voiced opposition to "vaccine passports", saying that such documents would cause the creation of a "show me your papers" society (akin to [[Nazi Germany]] and the [[USSR]] and other Communist-ruled countries) and the creation of new societal classes based on vaccination status (i.e. medical apartheid<ref>Multiple references:<br />

On February 16, 2022, Trudeau delivered an address in the Canadian House of Commons on the implementation of the ''Emergencies Act''. After [[Conservative Party of Canada|Conservative MP]] Mellissa Lantsman grilled Trudeau for fanning the flames of an “unjustified national emergency.”, Trudeau implied that the those in the [[Freedom Convoy]] were "[[Nazi]]s" when he said, <br />

The [[Allies of World War II]], including Canada, fought with the Soviet Union against the armed forces of the [[Third Reich]]. More than 45,000 Canadians were killed fighting the Nazis. As an ally of [[Nazi Germany]], Hunka and the [[14th SS Galicia Division]] took part in numerous massacres of Ukrainian, Jewish, Polish and [[Slovak]] civilians. <br />
<br />
Former members of the 14th Galicia Division were still wanted in Ukraine, [[Poland]], [[Belarus]], [[Lithuania]], and the [[Russian Federation]] in 2023 for war crimes during the Second World War Nazi occupation. There is no [[statute of limitations]] for murder. Many Ukrainian Nazi war criminals fled [[Europe]] after World War II and were resettled and granted citizenship in the [[UK]], Canada, and the United States. After the German surrender to the Soviet Union in [[Berlin]] on [[Victory Day]], May 9, 1945, many of Ukrainian Nazis who did not flee Europe fought on against the Soviet Union until 1954, receiving covert aid from the [[CIA]] soon after the CIA's founding in 1947.<br />
<br />
International affairs analyst [[Dr. Andrew Korybko]] observed that in one fell swoop, Trudeau discredited himself as a so-called “champion of [[human rights]]”, while Zelensky proved beyond any doubt that an ethnic [[Jew]] can indeed glorify the Nazis’ [[genocidal]] allies despite having family who were murdered in the [[Holocaust]].<ref>[https://korybko.substack.com/p/jews-poles-and-russians-have-united Jews, Poles, & Russians Have United To Condemn Canada For Glorifying A Literal Nazi], ANDREW KORYBKO, SEP 25, 2023.</ref> After being vetted to attend Zelensky's speech by the Canadian government and Trudeau's office, Hunta was introduced by the Speaker as a “Ukrainian-Canadian veteran from the Second World War who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians” and received two extended standing ovations while Zelensky raised a clenched fist in solidarity. Hunta's family had [[tweet]]ed out days in advance that a separate private meeting had been arranged for Hunta to meet and speak privately with Trudeau and Zelensky.<ref>[[Mark Sleboda]], [https://marksleboda.substack.com/p/canadian-parliament-trudeau-and-zelensky Canadian Parliament, Trudeau & Zelensky Praise and Give Standing Ovation to West Ukrainian Waffen SS Veteran Who "Killed Russians"], Radio Interview on the Critical Hour 25/09/23.</ref> To its credit, even ''[[Politico]]'' reported on the number of Jewish organizations that condemned the [[fascist]] ceremony.<ref>[https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/24/nazi-linked-veteran-ovation-zelenkyy-canada-visit-00117857 Nazi-linked veteran received ovation during Zelenskyy’s Canada visit], By KYLE DUGGAN, ''Politico'', 09/24/2023.</ref><br />
<br />
C.B. Forde, writing in ''The Postil Magazine'', described modern Russophobia in the 21st century during the [[NATO war in Ukraine]]: "What we are really witnessing is the barking of [[violent]] rhetoric, all justified by blurting out “Ukraine.” In other words, all manner of [[hatred]] can now be concealed by the “[[morality]]” of supporting Ukraine. This violence has become a habit of mind among all the Canadian and [[Western alliance|Western ruling]] [[elitism|elite]]—enthusiastically repeated by [[Justin Trudeau|Trudeau]], as this speech bears witness. This is why the members of the Canadian Parliament all stood, cheered and applauded the Nazi visiting them in House of Commons."<ref>[https://www.thepostil.com/justin-trudeau-and-the-banderites/ Justin Trudeau and the Banderites], C.B.

===Policy===<br />
[[File:Welcome to Canada.PNG|right|300px|thumb|]]<br />
Policy priorities of the Conservatives under Harper have remained fairly consistent since 2006: fighting the [[Recession of 2008]]; aiding the ailing [[Automobile]] industry; improving accountability and ethics in government; lowering taxes; fighting crime; reinvesting in defense; bolstering Canada's Arctic sovereignty; promoting national unity; and raising the profile of Canada's role abroad, through its combat mission in Afghanistan, contributions to stabilization in Haiti, and renewed partnership with Latin America. Harper has been friendly with the U.S., despite growing Canadian annoyance with restrictions on border crossings. Harper has been a strong supporter of [[NAFTA]], and works to increase Canada's oil exports to the U.S. He remains strong in the polls as Canada has suffered less from the worldwide [[Recession of 2008]] than the EU or the U.S.<br />
<br />
[[Quebec]], with 23% of the national population, its distinctive French-language ("francophone") culture, angered the western provinces by wielding undue influence on the Federal Government and its repeated threats to national unity. Until Harper of Alberta became prime minister in 2006, the western provinces had denounced Ottawa's failure to appreciate the oil interests, one of Canada's major industries. Ontario complains that it pays out far more to the Federal Government than it gets back in revenues, while the Atlantic Provinces seek to assert greater control over fishing and mineral rights off their shores. The Federal Government ceded some power in a few areas of provincial jurisdiction, while seeking to strengthen the federal role in many other areas such as inter-provincial trade and the regulation of securities. <br />
<br />
====National Unity====<br />
Popular support for Quebec sovereignty appears to be on the wane, although Francophone pride in that province's unique cultural and linguistic identity remains very strong. Most Quebec voters seem to appreciate the economic benefits of remaining in the Canadian confederation and aim to advance their separate Francophone identity within the confederation. In a provincial election held on December 8, 2008, provincial Liberal Leader Jean Charest won a majority government. The separatist Parti Quebecois placed second.<br />
<br />
====Quebec Secession Movement and the October Crisis====<br />
[[File:Quebec1759.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Painting of British landing at Quebec, 1759.]]<br />
There are trivial separatist movements lobbying for independence from Canada in British Columbia, Alberta, and Quebec. The only movement of real significance is in Quebec, where the province has twice voted on whether or not to separate from Canada, once in 1980 and again in 1995; the vote in 1995 failed by just 1 percent. On November 27, 2006, the Federal Government passed a motion declaring Québec a nation "within a united Canada".<ref>http://www2.parl.gc.ca/HousePublications/Publication.aspx?Pub=hansard&Language=E&Mode=1&Parl=39&Ses=1&DocId=2544166&File=0#OOB-1799206</ref><br />
<br />
This movement did reach a violent level however when the [[FLQ]] (Front de liberation du Quebec) undertook a series of letterbombings from 1963 to 1970 [http://www.canadianencyclopedia.ca/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1ARTA0005880.com] The terror campaign reached a fever pitch when Pierre Laporte and James Cross were kidnapped in their own homes by gun wielding FLQ members. [http://archives.cbc.ca/politics/civil_unrest/topics/101/] The government initiated a crackdown in which the War Measures Act was put in place. This allowed the government to detain suspected terrorists without trial, and is the only time where the measure has been enacted in peace time. [http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/terrorists_spies/terrorists/flq/11.html]. The measure was widely supported by Canadians at the time. The action was short-lived however as the members of the FLQ were tracked down and arrested. The body of Pierre Laporte was discovered in the trunk of a car outside a Canadian military base. James Cross was released after intense negotiations with the government. The remaining members of the FLQ were either jailed or as a result of negotiations deported to Cuba.<br />
<br />
===Taxation===<br />
[[Image:Supreme Court of Canada.jpg|left|thumb|200px|The Supreme Court of Canada.]]<br />
The average tax rate in Canada is higher than in the United States. In 2003, Canada's tax burden equals about 33.8% of GDP placing it in the middle of the G7 countries, with Japan lowest at 25.3% and France highest at 43.4%.<ref>[http://www.fin.gc.ca/activty/faq1e.html#Taxation Department of Finance Canada: FAQs]</ref> The US rate is roughly 25.6%; this discrepancy is consistent with the differing levels of social services which the governments funds. Canada also had managed to run without a budget deficit for a number of years under the last Liberal government.<br />
<br />
Equalization payments, worth 11.7 billion Canadian dollars are made by the federal government to the provinces from richer provinces (currently Alberta, Newfoundland,<ref>[http://www.cbc.ca/canada/newfoundland-labrador/story/2008/11/03/have-not.html]</ref> and British Columbia) and the poorer provinces (Ontario,<ref>[http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/11/03/flaherty-ministers.html]</ref> Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Quebec, Manitoba and Saskatchewan). This is to ensure that reasonably uniform standards of services and taxation are kept between the richer and poorer provinces.<ref>[http://www.budget.gc.ca/2007/bp/bpc4e.html Budget 2007]</ref> These payments have not been without controversy as provinces begin to make more revenues from natural resources they do not want to give up the Equalization payments.<br />
<br />
British Columbia's combined federal and provincial corporate tax rate is lower than any jurisdiction in the United States.<ref name=tax>{{cite web|url=http://www.britishcolumbia.ca/Invest/Business-Climate/Pages/CompetitiveTaxClimate.aspx|title=Competitive Tax Climate|publisher=British Columbia|accessdate=Aug 12, 2012}}</ref> The BC corporate rate is 10% and the federal rate is 15%.<ref name=tax/><br />
<br />
Canada also has a national sales tax, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 5% on all purchases. Some provinces add an additional percentage in the form of a Provincial Sales Tax (PST), or a combined Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) combining GST and the Provincial Sales Tax. Based on actual income, and a number of other factors, the government will refund GST/HST to eligible tax payers in quarterly installments on the fifth of the month in July, October, January, and April.<br />
<br />
====Public Health Care====<br />
[[File:Urmas Paet Canadian Minister of International Trade Peter Van Loan, 2010.jpg|thumb|250px|The Minister of International Trade Peter Van Loan with Urmas Paet, Estonian Foreign Minister, 2010.]]<br />
{{See also|Two-tier system}}<br />
In 1984, the Federal Government, under the leadership of the Liberals and The Right Honourable [[Pierre Trudeau|Pierre Elliot Trudeau]], enacted the Canada Health Act. This act was based on the five principles of "universality, accessibility, portability, comprehensiveness, and public administration".<ref>[http://www.fin.gc.ca/FEDPROV/hise.html History of Canada Health and Social Transfer]</ref> This public health care system is run in partnership by Health Canada and provincial Ministries of Health, who both contribute tax revenues. The federal government sets policy, while the provinces are responsible for actual administration. In 1995, the Canada Health and Social Transfer was created to replace existing systems for the transferral of tax funding to the provinces to administer social programs. The rationale behind the system is to allow all Canadians equal access to equal treatment, regardless of socio-economic status. <br />
<br />
In Canada health care is frequently listed as top issue in election campaigns and is both a topic of frequent debate and a point of pride for many Canadians, Tommy Douglas the founder of medicare was, for example, voted the "Greatest Canadian" on a CBC television programme in 2004.<ref><br />
http://www.cbc.ca/greatest/</ref><br />
<br />
The current state of Canada's public health care system is gathering increasing media attention due to rising wait times. David Gratzer wrote:<br />
<blockquote>... government researchers have provided the best data on the doctor shortage, noting, for example, that more than 1.5 million Ontarians (or 12 percent of that province’s population) can’t find family physicians.<ref>[http://city-journal.org/html/17_3_canadian_healthcare.html The Ugly Truth about Canadian Healthcare]</ref></blockquote><br />
Most of the blame for the current state of affairs has been placed on successive government mismanagement. This represents a failure of the federal government to properly regulate the level of service being offered in the provinces. People regularly have to wait between four and eight months for non-emergency surgeries. The median wait time for an MRI across Canada is 10.3 weeks in 2006.<ref>http://www.fraserinstitute.ca/shared/readmore.asp?sNav=nr&id=753</ref> In fact, former Prime Minister [[Jean Chretien|Jean Chrétien]] campaigned on a promise to shut down private MRI clinics because it creates a two tier system, regardless of the demand for more facilities.<br />
<br />
In recent years, there has been suggestion from some lobby groups that Canada should adopt a two-tier health care system, while others have expressed strong opposition to this idea, including the federal government under the Liberal Party. Some argue that Canada already does have a two-tier health care system as the very wealthy can go to the United States for treatment. The argument for allowing private health care is twofold. The first reason is that competition may improve the quality of products and services, while the increase in options will allow those with the means to access private health care and may relieve some of the burden off the public system. Critics argue that health is a right, and that everyone should have access to the same standard of care.<br />
<br />
Recently, in [[Québec]], a provincial judge has ruled that private health care providers must be allowed to compete with the government-run health care system.<br />
<br />
Much as was the case in [[Nazi]] Germany, poor, disabled and sick Canadians are routinely [[Genocide|executed]] by the Government, with the taxpayer footing the bill.<ref>https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-is-canada-euthanising-the-poor-</ref><br />
<br />
===Foreign relations===<br />
====Ukraine====<br />
[[File:Canadian Prime Minister William Mackenzie King during his official visit to his friend Chancellor Adolf Hitler.jpg|right|350px|thumb|Canadian Prime Minister William Mackenzie King during his official visit to his friend Chancellor [[Adolf Hitler]].]]<br />
On November 9, 2021, ''Ottawa Citizen'' military reporter David Pugliese revealed that when [[Canadian]] military officials met with the neo-Nazi [[Azov Battalion]] in June 2018, they knew the group used the Nazi “Wolfsangel” symbol and praised officials who helped slaughter [[Jews]] and [[Polish|Poles]] during World War II. “A year before the meeting,” reports Pugliese, "Canada’s Joint Task Force Ukraine produced a briefing on the Azov Battalion, acknowledging its links to Nazi ideology."<ref>https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/canadian-officials-who-met-with-ukrainian-unit-linked-to-neo-nazis-feared-exposure-by-news-media-documents</ref> Rather than express public disagreement with their views, Canadian military officials sought to manage any potential public relations fallout from at least two meetings, which included Azov representatives boasting about their Canadian support.<br />
<br />
A September 2021 report from an Institute at George Washington University revealed that Centuria boasted about being trained by some of the 200 Canadian troops in the Ukraine. The report detailed Centuria members making Nazi salutes, praising [[SS]] units and promoting [[white supremacy]].<ref>https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/far-right-extremists-in-ukrainian-military-bragged-about-canadian-training-report-says-1.5631304</ref><br />
<br />
In March 2016 retired Canadian soldier Oksana Kuzyshyn spoke at an event titled “A Canadian’s experience training the AZOV Battalion to NATO standards”.<ref name="ucpbacalgary.ca">https://ucpbacalgary.ca/event/march-31-2016-one-canadians-experience-training-the-azov-batallion-to-nato-standards/</ref> One month earlier “nearly 200 officer cadets and professors of Canada’s Royal Military College” attended a screening of Ukrainians/Les Ukrainiens: God's Volunteer Battalion, which praised fascist militias fighting in the [[Donbas]].<ref name="ucpbacalgary.ca"/><br />
<br />
Since U.S. and Canadian backed ultranationalists overthrew [[democracy|democratically]] elected President [[Viktor Yanukovych]] in the 2014 Maidan coup, Canadian politicians have spoken alongside and marched with Canadian members of Ukraine's [[Pravy Sektor]],<ref>http://theleftchapter.blogspot.com/2016/09/what-is-far-right-organisation-right.html</ref> which said it was “defending the values of white, Christian Europe against the loss of the nation and deregionalisation.”<ref>https://mondediplo.com/2014/03/02ukraine</ref> Pravy Sektor has been implicated in the [[Odessa Trade Unions House massacre]] wherein at least 46 ethnic Russians were burnt alive by Maidan fascists. The black and red flag of Pravy Sektor is based on the Nazi-era "bloods and soil" flag. <br />
<br />
Alongside the U.S., Canada has funded, equipped and trained the neo-Nazi infiltrated National Police of Ukraine (NPU), which was founded after the democratically Yanukovych was overthrown. A former deputy commander of the Azov Battalion, Vadim Troyan had a series of senior positions in the NPU, including acting chief.<ref>https://yvesengler.com/2020/03/01/neo-nazis-arrest-highlights-ottawas-support-for-ukrainian-far-right/</ref><br />
<br />
Efraim Zuroff, the Director of the [[Simon Wiesenthal|Simon Wiesenthal Center]] in [[Israel]], denounced Canadian troops for training neo-Nazi fighters in Ukraine, saying Ottawa has a responsibility to prevent such things from happening. “The Government of Canada did not exercise due diligence” Ephraim Zuroff told ''Citizen'' of Ottawa. “There is no doubt that there are neo-Nazis in Ukraine in various forms, whether in the Azov Regiment or other organizations."<ref>https://www.b92.net/eng/news/world.php?yyyy=2022&mm=04&dd=14&nav_id=113531</ref><br />
<br />
During his trip to Ukraine in 2016 Justin Trudeau was photographed with Ukrainian Nazi leader [[Andriy Parubiy]], who had a background with the ultranationalists and was accused of praising [[Hitler]].<ref>https://www.mondialisation.ca/meet-andriy-parubiy-the-former-neo-nazi-leader-turned-speaker-of-ukraines-parliament/5520502</ref> In ''Canada is Not Back: How Justin Trudeau is in Over His Head on Foreign Policy'', Jocelyn Coulon, who was a member of Trudeau's International Affairs Council of Advisers and then an adviser to former foreign minister Stephane Dion, described how the Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) sabotaged efforts to lessen tension with Russia. “Dion’s determination to restore relations with Russia quickly came up against pro Ukrainian pressure groups,” he wrote.<br />
<br />
To a large extent Ottawa and Washington view the Ukraine as a proxy to weaken Russia. As part of this geopolitical competition, they've backed neo-Nazi militia members fighting the independent [[Donbas]] republics.<ref>https://mronline.org/2021/11/13/military-knows-it-looks-bad-but-works-with-neo-nazis-anyway/</ref><br />
<br />
====India====<br />
In September 2023 [[India]] stopped issuing [[visa]]s to Canadian citizens amid an escalating dispute over the killing of a [[Sikh]] separatist on June 18, 2023, on Canadian soil. The government of India said the temporary move was due to “security threats” disrupting work at its missions in Canada. Canada's visa services remained open in India.<br />
<br />
Tensions flared when after Canadian [[dictator]] Justin Trudeau publicly accused India of being involved in the killing. Relations between the countries – key trade and security partners, and US allies – were at an all-time low. More migrants to Canada come from India than any other country.<br />

As of the most recent cabinet shuffle, Conservative MP Peter MacKay has assumed the role of Minister of National Defense.<br />
<br />
The Canadian Forces is comprised of the Regular Force and the Reserve Force. The Regular and Reserve Forces employ over 62,000 and 25,000 members respectively, about the same size as the [[United Arab Emirates]]. While the various branches wear distinctive elemental uniforms (DEU), the Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian Army and the Royal Canadian Air Force were amalgamated in 1968 into one common command structure.<ref>http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/about/index_e.asp</ref> <br />
The Canadian Forces are <ref>http://www.canadianally.com/ca/forces-cf-en.asp</ref> equipped with modern vehicles such as the Canadian-built LAV III, the German-built Leopard CII tanks and both the American-built CF-18 Hornet and CC-177 Globemaster III. The Canadian government spends about 17 billion Canadian dollars annually on defence.<ref>[http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/est-pre/20072008/me-bd/part1/ME-030_e.asp http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/est-pre/20072008/me-bd/part1/ME-030_e.asp]</ref><br />
<br />
The Conservative government has continued the trend of increased defense spending initiated by the Liberals, and have also taken steps to decrease red-tape preventing the troops from having the necessary equipment to keep them safe and effective. They have also taken steps to establish Canada's sovereignty over its arctic regions.<br />
<br />
Over 3000 Canadian troops are currently deployed around the world, including a few fighter planes used in operations in the middle East. Another 500 are deployed to the Middle East where they are attached to a US-led coalition fleet and the Standing NATO Maritime Group 1 (SNMG1). These are prime examples of Canada's capability for interoperability with foreign military forces.<br />

===Liberal fascist expropriation of property===<br />
<br />
In February 2022 Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland announced an expansion of “terrorist financing” rules that would allow banks to freeze assets with no oversight. The new measures also apply to crowdfunding outlets and payment processing providers. “We are broadening the scope of Canada’s anti-money laundering and terrorist financing rules so that they cover crowdfunding platforms and the payment service providers they use,” Freeland said. The expanded rules also apply to digital assets, such as cryptocurrency. In enacting the changes, Freeland said that what she claimed were "illegal" blockades "...have highlighted the fact that crowdfunding platforms and some of the payment service providers they use are not fully captured under the proceeds of crime and terrorist financing act." All crowdfunding platforms and service providers were required to register with the Canadian government's financial intelligence unit, FINTRAC, and report “large and suspicious transactions.”<ref>https://nationalfile.com/canada-expand-scope-terrorist-financing-rules-will-allow-banks-freeze-assets-no-oversight/</ref><br />
<br />
GPS tracking of cell phone data is able to identify anyone within the vicinity of where protests take place.<br />
<br />
Freeland went on to threaten Canadian Freedom Truckers with extreme measures if they do not go home. “If your truck is being used in these illegal blockades, your corporate accounts will be frozen, the insurance on your vehicle will be suspended,” Freeland added. Banks and financial services providers will also be allowed by Freeland to freeze or suspend accounts without a court order, intended by her to specifically target the Freedom Convoy and its supporters while hypocritically ignoring crowdfunding campaigns by violent leftist groups such as Antifa. “In doing so, they will be protected against civil liability for actions taken in good faith,” the Deputy PM continued - while she ignored that by acting at Freeland's behest in targeting the Freedom Convoy and other peaceful and legal protests, the banks would be acting in ''bad'' faith and thus would ''not'' be protected against civil liability.<br />
[[File:Trudeau run on the banks.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Run on banks as a result of the liberal fascist regime's expropriation orders.]]<br />
As part of his continued overreach of power, the Trudeau regime and the RCMP began sending the names of those taking part in the Freedom Convoy protests to Canadian banks with orders to freeze the accounts of the participants for standing up to Trudeau's actions.<ref>Two references:<br />

<br />
Canadian Justice Minister David Lametti told CTV News that citizens identified as supporting [[President Donald Trump]] are subject to “de-banking” as part of the Canadian government's official target identification process. During the segment, Lametti hedged and dodged questioning about what terms and conditions the Canadian government is using to instruct the RCMP and financial institutions. However, after equating the Trudeau order to the same principles around terrorism, the ‘Justice Minister’ finally said:<br />
{{quotebox-float|”If you are a member of a pro Trump movement who is donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to this kind of thing, then you ought to be worried.”<ref>https://youtu.be/Qisd2juHvps</ref>}}<br />
Trudeau's expropriation order caused a panic and a run on the banks.<ref>https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/trudeau-inadvertently-caused-a-bank-run-in-canada/</ref> People rushed to ATM's to withdraw their cash before the government could seize it. Five major Canadian banks went offline, preventing a number of customers from using e-Transfers, online banking, and mobile banking services. The financial institutions affected by the outage included the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), BMO (Bank of Montreal), Scotiabank, TD Canada Trust, and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC).<ref>https://finbold.com/five-major-canadian-banks-mysteriously-go-offline-in-hours-long-outage/</ref><br />

===Business===<br />
<br />
Canada has invested heavily in high-tech, export-oriented businesses, achieving major success in:<br />
* Aerospace: Canada's global share of aerospace activity has tripled in the last 20 years, making Canada the world's 5th largest aerospace producer. <br />
* Ag-biotech: Canadian firms’ revenues exceed those of US agro-based companies and are more than double those of Japan and the UK. <br />
* Agri-food: Canada is the world's fourth-largest exporter of agricultural products. <br />
* Automotive: Canada is among the Top 10 automotive countries and the 3rd largest exporter of automotive products after Japan and the U.S. Most of the output goes to the U.S. market.<br />
* Biotechnology: Canada is a leader in biotechnology—one of the top five countries in the world. <br />
* Plastics: Canada is the world's fourth largest exporter of moulds and eighth largest exporter of plastics processing machinery.<br />

Canadians worry that Obama's economic policies will damage Canada's economy, especially [[cap and trade]], the Buy America rule in the 2009 stimulus, and environmental hostility to Canadian oil produced from oil sands.<br />
<br />
===Energy===<br />
Canada has vast natural resources and is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of energy. In 2005, Canada produced 19.1 quadrillion British Thermal Units (Btu) of total energy, the fifth-largest amount in the world. Since 1980, Canada's total energy production has increased by 86%, while its total energy consumption has increased by only 48% during that period. Almost all of Canada's energy exports go to the United States, making it the largest foreign source of U.S. energy imports: Canada is consistently among the top sources for U.S. oil imports, and it is the largest source of U.S. natural gas and electricity imports.<ref>See Energy Information Administration, [http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cabs/Canada/Background.html "Canada" (2009 report)]</ref><br />
<br />
In 2005, the largest source of energy consumption in Canada was oil (31%), followed by hydroelectricity (25%) and natural gas (24%). Both coal (12%) and nuclear (7%) constitute a smaller share of the country's overall energy mix. From 1985 to 2005, Canada's overall energy mix has remained relatively stable, though hydroelectricity has decreased from 31%to 25%, as oil drilling is more popular than dam building. As of 2011, the trend has reversed, and Hydroelectricity is making 32% of the country's electricity. The remainder is produced by oil, and renewables.<br />

On October 20, 2014, during the [[Obama administration]]'s support for the [[global jihad]],<ref>https://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/18032</ref> a homegrown Canadian jihadist struck two soldiers with his car in a Quebec shopping mall parking lot, killing one and injuring the other.<ref>https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/isis-terror/man-who-killed-soldier-car-was-radical-muslim-authorities-say-n230526</ref> Two days later, a Canadian born [[jihad]]i shot and killed an honor guard in the back at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on the grounds of the National War Memorial in Ottawa. The jihadi fled to the Parliament building where Members of Parliament were caucusing. In an exchange of gunfir, the jihadi was shot and killed by the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Commons. Three others sustained injuries in the melee.<br />

'''Canada''' is a so-called Representative [[Democracy]] in [[North America]], which extends from the [[Pacific Ocean]] in the west to the [[Atlantic Ocean]] in the east and northward to the [[Arctic Ocean]]. Canada is the second largest in the world behind [[Russia]]. It has the longest coastline of any nation, and the longest border with the [[United States]] in the south and northwest. Its border with the [[U.S.]] is the longest undefended border in the world.<br />

<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name Canada originated in 1535 by [[Jacques Cartier]] is based on the Iroquoian word "kanata", meaning "village."<ref name="Canadian_Encylopedia">[http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&ArticleId=A0001216 The Canadian Encyclopedia]</ref> By 1545, Europeans began referring to this region as Canada.<br />
<br />
The name ''Dominion of Canada'' was adopted during [[British North America Act|confederation]] in 1867. The name continued until the [[Constitution Act]] of 1982, when "Canada" became the legal name. Canada Day, on July 1, used to known as be Dominion Day.<br />
<br />
== Anthem==<br />
[[File:E-canada.jpg|thumb|450px|political map of Canada]]<br />
The Canadian national anthem, '[[O Canada]]', was written by Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier as a poem, to which music, composed by Calixa Lavall&eacute;e, was later added, in 1880. The original was composed in French, and was first translated into English by Dr. Thomas Bedford Richardson of Toronto, Ontario, in 1906. However, it was not officially adopted as the national anthem until 1980.<ref>[http://www.pch.gc.ca/progs/cpsc-ccsp/sc-cs/anthem_e.cfm National Anthem: O Canada]</ref> It is important to distinguish between 'O Canada', the national anthem, and 'God Save The Queen', which is the Royal anthem, played as a salute to Her Majesty [[Queen Elizabeth II]] as Queen of Canada. The English lyrics and French lyrics have several notable differences, with the French version being slightly longer.<br />
<br />
==Geography==<br />
<br />
At the time of Confederation, Canada was comprised of four provinces: Upper Canada (now Ontario), Lower Canada (now Québec), Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. Since that time, six additional provinces have joined Canada or have been created. From west to east, the provinces are [[British Columbia]], [[Alberta]], [[Saskatchewan]], [[Manitoba]], [[Ontario]], [[Québec]], [[New Brunswick]], [[Prince Edward Island]], [[Nova Scotia]], and [[Newfoundland|Newfoundland and Labrador]]. Newfoundland was the last province to join Canada, in 1949. The provinces all elect a single (unicameral) legislature, headed by Premier, who is selected the same way as the Prime Minister. A Lieutenant-Governor represents the Queen, similar to the Governor General. <br />
Canada has three territories: the [[Yukon Territory]], the [[Northwest Territories]], and [[Nunavut]],. Territories have only have those powers delegated to them by the federal government. Nunavut is the newest territory, created as a homeland for the Inuit people in 1999.<br />
<br />
*Area: 9.9 million km<sup>2</sup>. (3.8 million sq. mi.); second-largest country in the world. <br />
*Cities: Capital—Ottawa (pop. 1,017,449). Other major cities—Toronto (2,794,356), Montreal (1,762,949), Calgary (1,306,784), Edmonton (1,010,899), Winnipeg (749,607), Mississauga (717,961), Vancouver (662,248), Brampton (656,480), Hamilton (569,353), Surrey (568,322), Quebec City (549,459) and Halifax (439,819). <br />
*Terrain: Mostly plains with mountains in the west and lowlands in the southeast. <br />
*Climate: Temperate to arctic. <br />

<br />
In 2005 the city of [[Vancouver]], [[British Columbia]] surprisingly was voted{{By whom?}} "the world's best place to live" in the world.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4306936.stm Vancouver is "best place to live"] ("Canadian cities scored well, as did Austria's Vienna and Switzerland's Geneva, because they are not seen as targets for terror attacks.")</ref> Calgary has been named on several occasions the world's cleanest city.<br />
Canada's population is increasingly urban, with 6 cities recording a population over 1 million ([[Toronto]], [[Montreal]], [[Vancouver]], [[Ottawa]]-Gatineau, [[Calgary]], [[Edmonton]]); these 6 cities represent over 45% of Canada's population. Canada is becoming an increasingly multicultural country, with most new immigrants settling in [[Toronto]], [[Montreal]] and [[Vancouver]]. [[Toronto]] is the world's most multicultural city, with 43% a member of a visible minority.<ref>http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/story.html?id=bb0fee45-b305-490a-b161-a21bcb1d7329&k=34160</ref><br />
<br />
In comparing the suicide rates between Canada and the US, Canada has a slightly higher rate.<ref>[http://www.who.int/mental_health/prevention/suicide/suiciderates/en/ WHO: Suicide rates]</ref> It has been suggested that this slightly higher rate of suicide is induced by Seasonal Affective Disorder, a mental health disorder prevalent in northern countries due the significantly reduced or non-existent daylight hours during the winter. Severe episodes of Seasonal Affective Disorder can cause suicidal thoughts.<ref>http://www.cmha.ca/bins/content_page.asp?cid=3-86-93-291</ref><br />
<br />
====Culture====<br />
[[File:Canada Orchestra.jpg|thumb|Collegiate band.]]<br />
Due to its colonial past, Canadian culture has historically been heavily influenced by British culture. Quebec maintains a French culture but has been largely cut off from Parisian trends for 250 years. Since 1800 Canadian culture has been greatly influenced by American culture, due to the proximity and the migration of people, ideas, and capital. Amidst this, Canadian culture has developed some unique characteristics, and many Canadian movies, authors, television shows, and musicians are equally popular in United States. The Canadian television industry has a local content requirement, which requires the use of Canadian actors in Canadian productions. Canadian culture has also been influenced by indigenous cultures, and by immigrant groups from around the world. It has the highest per capita immigration rate of any country in the world, with the percentage growing every day.<ref>http://www.statcan.ca/Daily/English/080402/d080402a.htm</ref><br />
<br />
Canada has two federal official languages, French and English. The province of Quebec has French as its official language, New Brunswick both French and English, making it the only bilingual province, and all other provinces English (although in some parts of Ontario French has special status). The territory of Nunavut has Inuktitut and Innuinaqtun as official languages in addition to French and English, the North West territories has eleven official languages, and the Yukon recognizes French and English.<br />
<br />
Canada reflects significantly more liberal social policies than the neighboring states of the northern U.S. One such example is the legalizing of [[same-sex "marriage"]] in June 2005.<ref>[http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2005/06/28/samesex050628.html CBC news article on passing of gay marriage law]</ref> Another is its single-payer health care system.<br />
<br />
Canadian culture is said to put stress on open-mindedness and tolerance of multiple viewpoints.<ref>See [https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global/main.jhtml?xml=/global/features/cucanada.xml&source=EMC-exp_01102008 National Cultural Profiles, a guide from the London ''Telegraph'' to the thinking patterns of all the world's major cultures]</ref> Canadian opinion shows a strong sense of wanting to be independent of the U.S., although their economy, society, and culture closely resembles the U.S., and most Canadians live a short drive from the border. Canada is usually contrasted as a "cultural mosaic" to the United States' "melting pot". Canadian and U.S. polls habitually confirm citizens of both countries view the relationship with each other in a highly positive light, and consider each other with a special respect afforded to common allies.<ref>http://www.freeonlineresearchpapers.com/canadian-cultural-mosaic-american-melting-pot</ref><br />

===Sports===<br />
See [[Canadian sports]]<br />
<br />
Notable sports which are enjoyed throughout Canada include [[hockey]], [[curling]], [[lacrosse]], and [[football]]. Canada collected 18 medals in the Summer Olympics, more per capita than the United States but less than Australia. The country finished third overall in the Torino Winter Olympics, with a total of 24 medals, one less than the United States and 10 more than next-place [[Sweden]]. The most recent winter Olympics was held in 2010 in Vancouver and Whistler. Canada finished third overall in the medal count and was first in the gold medal count with 14 gold. This was the first instance of Canada winning a gold medal on home ground and a moment of national pride.<br />
<br />
====Education====<br />
[[Image:800px-Canada-satellite.jpg|right|thumb|200px|A satellite image of Canada.]]<br />
Education in Canada is the responsibility of provincial and territorial governments; curriculum and marking schemes are completely removed from the control of the federal government. Each province uses a different method of administering education, with variation in the number of years and the curriculum. Quebec, for example, has five years of secondary school finishing at the equivalent of grade 11 followed by two years of CEGEP, while Ontario has two years of kindergarten. Most provinces have kindergarten with school starting at age 5 going to grade 12 (age 17) as part of the public system. Some provinces have standardized provincial exams at the end of secondary school and/or at other designated grades.<br />
<br />
Several provinces have two publicly funded school systems: public and private(either corporate or religious). The constitution also guarantees education in one's first official language and, as such, all provinces and territories have both English and French language schooling. Additionally, private schools both religious and secular exist throughout the country. Alberta has an additional category, known as charter schools. Charter schools are schools that have been created in the community to surround a particular theme. They could be artistic, vocational, etc.<br />
<br />
A source of comparison is the Human Development Index, a measurement of literacy, education, life expectancy and standard of living. Using this scale, Canada scores +.967 and the U.S. +950.<br />
<br />
====Religion====<br />
''See also:'' [[Canada and irreligion]]<br />
<br />
For the total population, in 2001, 12.9 million (44%) were Roman Catholic, with 8.7 million Protestants (29%). 4.9 million (16% ) report no religious affiliation (including atheists and agnostics). Other religions of significance in Canada include 580,000 Muslims; 330,000 Jews; 300,000 Buddhists; 297,000 Hindus; and 278,000 Sikhs.<ref>See [http://www40.statcan.gc.ca/l01/cst01/demo30a-eng.htm "Population by religion, by province and territory (2001 Census)"]</ref> <br />
[[File:Gurion Hyman Jewish people of Canada.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Jewish people of Canada.]]<br />
Catholicism formerly dominated Quebec until the "[[Quiet Revolution]]" of the 1960s, which has greatly reduced the power of the Catholic Church in Quebec, and its participation rates.<br />
<br />
The proportion attending religious services on a regular basis has declined over the past 20 years. According to the General Social Survey (GSS), 21% of Canadians aged 15 and over reported they attended a religious service at least once a week in 2005, down from 30% in 1985.<ref>Colin Lindsay, "Canadians attend weekly religious services less than 20 years ago," [http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/89-630-x/2008001/article/10650-eng.htm ''Statistics Canada'' (2008)]</ref> Between 1985 and 2004, the share of Canadians aged 15 and older reporting no religious affiliation increased by seven percentage points from 12% to 19%. 37% of Canadians who rarely attend formal services nevertheless regularly engage in personal religious practices. Of of those who had not attended any religious services over the previous year, 27% engaged in weekly religious practices on their own. Overall this group of adults who regularly engage in private religious practices, but infrequently or never attend religious services, represent, 21% of the adult population. This pattern was most prevalent among older Canadians.<ref>Warren Clark and Grant Schellenberg, "Who's religious?" [http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/11-008-x/2006001/9181-eng.htm '"Statistics Canada'' (2008)]</ref><br />
<br />
Civil liberties organizations, the media, and some members of Parliament occasionally criticized federal and provincial human rights commissions and tribunals for their application of hate speech restrictions included in federal and provincial human rights acts, claiming that the commissions and tribunals at times limited free speech and expression, and religious rights. The commissions are required by law to process all complaints they receive.<br />
<br />
A complaint against the editor of ''Catholic Insight'', alleging the magazine promoted hatred against homosexuals, remained before the Canadian Human Rights Commission at the end of 2008. The complainant alleged that he was upholding Catholic teaching on homosexuality in the magazine.<br />
<br />
In June 2008 members of the Ontario legislature voted unanimously to maintain the tradition of reading the Lord's Prayer in the provincial legislature and to add a rotation of prayers from other major religious traditions and a moment of silent reflection for atheists. The vote was prompted by a proposal by Ontario's premier in February 2008 to discontinue the religious observance.<br />
<br />
In July 2022 the Trudeau dictatorship imposed sanctions on Russian Orthodox Patriarch His Holiness Archbishop Kirill. Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman [[Maria Zakharova]] observed, "Only [[satanist]]s could have imposed sanctions on the patriarch."<ref>https://srbin.info/en/svet/zaharova-o-potezu-kanade-sankcije-patrijarhu-su-mogli-da-uvedu-samo-satanisti/</ref><br />
<br />
==Government==<br />
<br />
The government of Canada is split into two orders, federal and provincial, as outlined by the BNA Act. Each has very specific responsibilities, with some overlap. For instance, universal health care is mandated by the Federal Government, but it is administered by the Provincial Governments. Neither level has supremacy over the other. The Federal Government is run out of [[Ottawa]], [[Ontario]]; the provincial governments are run out the ten provincial capitals.<br />
[[File:Trudeau Parubiy.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Justin Trudeau meeting with Ukrainian [[neo-Nazi]] party founder [[Andriy Parubiy]] just before the [[Maidan coup]].<ref>https://tnc.news/2022/03/15/trudeau-freeland-met-with-ukrainian-neo-nazi-party-cofounder/</ref>]]<br />
The federal parliament is bicameral, including both a lower house - the Canadian House of Commons - and an upper house - the Canadian Senate. The parliamentary system is based on the British parliament. Members of Parliament represent specific geographical areas, generally chosen to have approximately equal population. A single member is elected from each on a [[first past the post]] system. The [[prime minister]] is usually the leader of the party with the most seats, though two or more parties may form a [[coalition]] to form a government. The governor General (GG) thus appoints the Prime minister.<br />
<br />
The Senate is made up of senators appointed for life by the prime minister (acting on behalf of the Governor General).<br />
<br />
In almost all cases, Acts of Parliament are created in the House of Commons. After passing three readings in the House of Commons, the bill is passed to the Senate. The job of the Senate is to further debate the proposed legislation, before passing it to the Governor General for Royal Assent. The Governor General is the official representative of Her Majesty [[Queen Elizabeth II]], Queen of Canada. The senators and the governor general are appointed positions by the sitting government. Senators are "lifetime" (until 75 years old) appointments and the Governor General will sit for, approximately, five yerars. The Prime Minister of Canada is the head of Government of Canada, acting as the Minister of the Crown, a practise inherited from the British system. The PM's term can last up to five years.<br />
<br />
All provincial legislatures are unicameral. The legislative process for provincial legislation is the same as for federal legislation, except that there is no Senate and the legislation is given royal assent by the provincial Lieutenants Governor, who represent the monarch at the provincial level.<br />
<br />
From 1841 to 1844, the capital city of what would become Canada was located in [[Kingston|Kingston, Ontario]]. Subsequently, the capital alternated between [[Toronto]] and [[Montreal]] until 1857, when the capital moved to [[Ottawa|Ottawa, Ontario]].<br />
<br />
The 40th Canadian Federal General Election occurred on October 14, 2008.<ref>[http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/09/07/election-call.html "Vote set for Oct. 14"]</ref> Currently, the Prime Minister is Justin Trudeau, a member of the [[Liberal Party of Canada]], while His Excellency David Lloyd Johnston is the Governor General. At present Canada is governed by a liberal [[majority government]].<ref>http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canadavotes2011/</ref><br />

===Politics===<br />
<br />
On October 19, 2015, Liberal Party [[racist]] Justin Trudeau was elected; he was re-elected in 2021.<br />
[[File:Freeland nazism.PNG|right|350px|thumb|Vice premier [[Chrystia Freeland]] holding a black and red "Blood and Soil" Nazi banner with the words, ''[[Slava Ukraini]]'', the fascist Ukrainian equivalent to ''[[Heil Hitler]]''.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/canadas-deputy-pm-caught-holding-pro-nazi-scarf-at-ukraine-rally</ref>]]<br />
On February 6, 2006, [[Stephen Harper]], leader of the Conservative Party, became Canada's twenty-second prime minister, succeeding Liberal Paul Martin. A policy wonk from Alberta, Harper rose from the ranks of conservative political party staffers. In Parliament, he became Leader of the Opposition (2002-6). In 2003 he became head of the western-based Canadian Alliance. He was elected the first leader of the Conservative Party of Canada when it was created in 2003 through the merger of Harper's Canadian Alliance and Peter MacKay's Progressive Conservative Party. The January 23, 2006 election victory by the Conservative Party ended twelve years of Liberal Party rule that, in the end, was tainted by accusations of corruption and ethical missteps. In the federal election on October 14, 2008, the Conservatives won 38% of the vote and formed a second minority government with 143 seats in the House of Commons. The Liberals won 26% of the vote and 77 seats in the House of Commons. As the party with the second-largest number of seats, the Liberals form the "official opposition."<br />
<br />
The Conservatives made unexpected gains in Quebec by winning ten seats in the January 2006 election, but failed to increase their number of seats in the province in the 2008 election. The separatist Bloc Quebecois (BQ) had a majority (49) of Quebec's 75 seats (the BQ runs candidates only in Quebec). The left-leaning New Democratic Party (NDP) had 37 seats, and two independents also sat in Parliament. Harper beat off a threatening no-confidence vote in late 2008 by warning that a government that included the BQ separatists—who want Quebec to break away from Canada—was hostile to Canada's national unity.<br />
<br />
On May 2, 2011, there was another election. The outcome was very dramatic and ground breaking. The Liberals traditionally placing first or second were reduced to just 34 seats becoming the third party of Canada. This happened from vote splitting in Ontario in which the leftists split their votes between the Liberals and the NDP. The Bloc Quebecois were destroyed in Quebec as the so-called "Orange Crush" of the NDP swept that province taking 59 out of 75 seats, leaving the BQ with a mere 4 seats. The NDP had their best results of all time and for the first time in history became the Official Opposition. The Conservatives came out on top though with 166 seats giving them their coveted majority. The Conservative lost the election of 2015 to the Liberal Party by a large margin.<br />
<br />
Canada is ranked 5th on the [[Fraser Institute]]'s [https://www.fraserinstitute.org/economic-freedom/map?page=map&year=2014 Economic Freedom Index], with a score of 7.98 out of 10.<br />

On April 1, 2021, [[Fox News]] host [[Tucker Carlson]] took aim at Canadian "COVID-19 hotels" created and funded by Liberal party boss Justin Trudeau, which Carlson compared with internment camps and which he pointed out illegally violate human rights by forcing Canadian travelers returning from overseas vacations to either be detained for quarantine at the facilities or risk heavy fines and imprisonment.<ref>[https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/tucker-carlson-canadas-covid-internment-camps-violate-the-most-basic-human-rights Tucker Carlson: Canada’s COVID internment camps violate ‘the most basic human rights’] at LifeSiteNews</ref> Carlson also reported on the substandard conditions of the detainment facilities, including food and water shortages, missing locks on doors and female detainees being sexually assaulted, and he also criticized state broadcaster the CBC for spreading [[disinformation]] about the facilities. In a similar earlier criticism of those facilities and the Trudeau regime's actions, Rebel News reporter Keean Bexte, who had similarly been illegally targeted and coerced after returning from an assignment in Florida, compared them to [[gulag]]s, pointed out that what the Trudeau regime is doing flagrantly violates sections of the Charter and announced that Rebel News would be suing the regime to force the abolition of the pandemic facilities program.<ref>[https://www.rebelnews.com/no_covid_jails_donation Update: We're suing the Trudeau government over COVID jails] at Rebel News</ref> On April 26, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the "COVID-19 hotels" violated Charter protections (specifically, against Section 7, covering the right to life, liberty and security of person, and Section 9, covering the right to not be arbitrarily detained), though it did not issue an injunction against the program; a full hearing on the constitutionality of said facilities is scheduled for June 1–3, 2021.<ref>[https://www.jccf.ca/federal-court-rules-isolation-hotels-violate-charter-protection-against-arbitrary-detention-declines-to-issue-injunction/ Federal Court agrees isolation hotels violate Charter protection against arbitrary detention, declines to issue injunction]</ref><br />
<br />
On April 26, 2021, the ''Toronto Sun'' newspaper published the results of a study by Douglas W. Allen, an economics professor at Simon Fraser University in the Vancouver suburb of Burnaby, British Columbia, indicating that the CCP flu lockdowns are ineffective and that the long-term societal harms of the lockdowns, including job losses and mental health challenges, are 282 times greater than any presumed benefits.<ref>[https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/furey-new-canadian-study-breaks-down-ineffectiveness-and-harms-of-lockdowns FUREY: New Canadian study breaks down 'ineffectiveness' and harms of lockdowns] at the Toronto Sun</ref> On the basis of that report, independent (formerly [[Conservative Party of Canada|Conservative]]) Member of Parliament Derek Sloan pointed out that the lockdowns are destroying Canadian communities and that few politicians in Canada were willing to oppose the lockdown diktats due to cowardice and lack of courage;<ref>[https://www.rebelnews.com/lockdowns_are_destroying_our_communities_derek_sloan_with_ezra_levant Lockdowns are destroying our communities | Derek Sloan with Ezra Levant] at Rebel News</ref> Sloan also spoke out against "vaccine passports" and the mass injection of children with the experimental CCP flu "vaccines", calling them "...an absolute negligent crime against Canadians."<ref>[https://www.rebelnews.com/it_is_an_absolute_negligent_crime_against_canadians_derek_sloan_on_experimental_covid_vaccines "It is an absolute negligent crime against Canadians": Derek Sloan on experimental COVID vaccines] at Rebel News</ref><br />
<br />
Prior to an anti-lockdown rally in Toronto on May 15, 2021, [[People's Party of Canada]] leader Maxime Bernier stated in an interview with Rebel News reporter Alexa Lavoie that all CCP flu lockdowns in Canada should be ended immediately, citing how the lockdowns have negatively affected many small businesses across the country; he also voiced opposition to "vaccine passports", saying that such documents would cause the creation of a "show me your papers" society (akin to [[Nazi Germany]] and the [[USSR]] and other Communist-ruled countries) and the creation of new societal classes based on vaccination status (i.e. medical apartheid<ref>Multiple references:<br />

On February 16, 2022, Trudeau delivered an address in the Canadian House of Commons on the implementation of the ''Emergencies Act''. After [[Conservative Party of Canada|Conservative MP]] Mellissa Lantsman grilled Trudeau for fanning the flames of an “unjustified national emergency.”, Trudeau implied that the those in the [[Freedom Convoy]] were "[[Nazi]]s" when he said, <br />
{{Quotebox-float|"[[Conservative Party of Canada|Conservative Party]] members can stand with people who wave [[swastika]]s; they can stand with people who wave the [[Confederate flag]].” &mdash;[[Justin Trudeau]] <ref name="politico.com">https://www.politico.com/newsletters/ottawa-playbook/2022/02/17/ottawa-deserves-better-00009716</ref>}} Mellissa Lantsman is [[Jewish]]. In response to this egregious comment by Trudeau, members of the opposition immediately demanded Trudeau retract his comment. Conservative MP Dane Lloyd rose to the floor and called him out saying,<br />

====Nazi glorification====<br />

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota welcomed a former officer of the [[14th Waffen SS Galicia Division]] named Yaroslav Hunka to attend an address by Ukrainian dictator [[Volodymyr Zelensky]]. Speaker Rota praised Hunka as a “Canadian hero” for fighting against the [[Soviet Union]]. Hunka was not an ally of Canada during [[World War II]]. The [[Allies of World War II]], including Canada, fought with the Soviet Union against the armed forces of the [[Third Reich]]. More than 45,000 Canadians were killed fighting the Nazis. As an ally of [[Nazi Germany]], Hunka and the [[14th SS Galicia Division]] took part in numerous massacres of Ukrainian, Jewish, Polish and [[Slovak]] civilians. <br />
<br />
Former members of the 14th Galicia Division were still wanted in Ukraine, [[Poland]], [[Belarus]], [[Lithuania]], and the [[Russian Federation]] in 2023 for war crimes during the Second World War Nazi occupation. There is no [[statute of limitations]] for murder. Many Ukrainian Nazi war criminals fled [[Europe]] after World War II and were resettled and granted citizenship in the [[UK]], Canada, and the United States. After the German surrender to the Soviet Union in [[Berlin]] on [[Victory Day]], May 9, 1945, many of Ukrainian Nazis who did not flee Europe fought on against the Soviet Union until 1954, receiving covert aid from the [[CIA]] soon after the CIA's founding in 1947.<br />
<br />
International affairs analyst [[Dr. Andrew Korybko]] observed that in one fell swoop, Trudeau discredited himself as a so-called “champion of [[human rights]]”, while Zelensky proved beyond any doubt that an ethnic [[Jew]] can indeed glorify the Nazis’ [[genocidal]] allies despite having family who were murdered in the [[Holocaust]].<ref>[https://korybko.substack.com/p/jews-poles-and-russians-have-united Jews, Poles, & Russians Have United To Condemn Canada For Glorifying A Literal Nazi], ANDREW KORYBKO, SEP 25, 2023.</ref> After being vetted to attend Zelensky's speech by the Canadian government and Trudeau's office, Hunta was introduced by the Speaker as a “Ukrainian-Canadian veteran from the Second World War who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians” and received two extended standing ovations while Zelensky raised a clenched fist in solidarity. Hunta's family had [[tweet]]ed out days in advance that a separate private meeting had been arranged for Hunta to meet and speak privately with Trudeau and Zelensky.<ref>[[Mark Sleboda]], [https://marksleboda.substack.com/p/canadian-parliament-trudeau-and-zelensky Canadian Parliament, Trudeau & Zelensky Praise and Give Standing Ovation to West Ukrainian Waffen SS Veteran Who "Killed Russians"], Radio Interview on the Critical Hour 25/09/23.</ref> To its credit, even ''[[Politico]]'' reported on the number of Jewish organizations that condemned the [[fascist]] ceremony.<ref>[https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/24/nazi-linked-veteran-ovation-zelenkyy-canada-visit-00117857 Nazi-linked veteran received ovation during Zelenskyy’s Canada visit], By KYLE DUGGAN, ''Politico'', 09/24/2023.</ref><br />

C.B. Forde, writing in ''The Postil Magazine'', described modern Russophobia in the 21st century during the [[NATO war in Ukraine]]: "What we are really witnessing is the barking of [[violent]] rhetoric, all justified by blurting out “Ukraine.” In other words, all manner of [[hatred]] can now be concealed by the “[[morality]]” of supporting Ukraine. This violence has become a habit of mind among all the Canadian and [[Western alliance|Western ruling]] [[elitism|elite]]—enthusiastically repeated by [[Justin Trudeau|Trudeau]], as this speech bears witness. This is why the members of the Canadian Parliament all stood, cheered and applauded the Nazi visiting them in House of Commons."<ref>[https://www.thepostil.com/justin-trudeau-and-the-banderites/ Justin Trudeau and the Banderites], C.B.

===Policy===<br />
[[File:Welcome to Canada.PNG|right|300px|thumb|]]<br />
Policy priorities of the Conservatives under Harper have remained fairly consistent since 2006: fighting the [[Recession of 2008]]; aiding the ailing [[Automobile]] industry; improving accountability and ethics in government; lowering taxes; fighting crime; reinvesting in defense; bolstering Canada's Arctic sovereignty; promoting national unity; and raising the profile of Canada's role abroad, through its combat mission in Afghanistan, contributions to stabilization in Haiti, and renewed partnership with Latin America. Harper has been friendly with the U.S., despite growing Canadian annoyance with restrictions on border crossings. Harper has been a strong supporter of [[NAFTA]], and works to increase Canada's oil exports to the U.S. He remains strong in the polls as Canada has suffered less from the worldwide [[Recession of 2008]] than the EU or the U.S.<br />
<br />
[[Quebec]], with 23% of the national population, its distinctive French-language ("francophone") culture, angered the western provinces by wielding undue influence on the Federal Government and its repeated threats to national unity. Until Harper of Alberta became prime minister in 2006, the western provinces had denounced Ottawa's failure to appreciate the oil interests, one of Canada's major industries. Ontario complains that it pays out far more to the Federal Government than it gets back in revenues, while the Atlantic Provinces seek to assert greater control over fishing and mineral rights off their shores. The Federal Government ceded some power in a few areas of provincial jurisdiction, while seeking to strengthen the federal role in many other areas such as inter-provincial trade and the regulation of securities. <br />
<br />
====National Unity====<br />
Popular support for Quebec sovereignty appears to be on the wane, although Francophone pride in that province's unique cultural and linguistic identity remains very strong. Most Quebec voters seem to appreciate the economic benefits of remaining in the Canadian confederation and aim to advance their separate Francophone identity within the confederation. In a provincial election held on December 8, 2008, provincial Liberal Leader Jean Charest won a majority government. The separatist Parti Quebecois placed second.<br />
<br />
====Quebec Secession Movement and the October Crisis====<br />
[[File:Quebec1759.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Painting of British landing at Quebec, 1759.]]<br />
There are trivial separatist movements lobbying for independence from Canada in British Columbia, Alberta, and Quebec. The only movement of real significance is in Quebec, where the province has twice voted on whether or not to separate from Canada, once in 1980 and again in 1995; the vote in 1995 failed by just 1 percent. On November 27, 2006, the Federal Government passed a motion declaring Québec a nation "within a united Canada".<ref>http://www2.parl.gc.ca/HousePublications/Publication.aspx?Pub=hansard&Language=E&Mode=1&Parl=39&Ses=1&DocId=2544166&File=0#OOB-1799206</ref><br />
<br />
This movement did reach a violent level however when the [[FLQ]] (Front de liberation du Quebec) undertook a series of letterbombings from 1963 to 1970 [http://www.canadianencyclopedia.ca/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1ARTA0005880.com] The terror campaign reached a fever pitch when Pierre Laporte and James Cross were kidnapped in their own homes by gun wielding FLQ members. [http://archives.cbc.ca/politics/civil_unrest/topics/101/] The government initiated a crackdown in which the War Measures Act was put in place. This allowed the government to detain suspected terrorists without trial, and is the only time where the measure has been enacted in peace time. [http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/terrorists_spies/terrorists/flq/11.html]. The measure was widely supported by Canadians at the time. The action was short-lived however as the members of the FLQ were tracked down and arrested. The body of Pierre Laporte was discovered in the trunk of a car outside a Canadian military base. James Cross was released after intense negotiations with the government. The remaining members of the FLQ were either jailed or as a result of negotiations deported to Cuba.<br />

[[Image:Supreme Court of Canada.jpg|left|thumb|200px|The Supreme Court of Canada.]]<br />
The average tax rate in Canada is higher than in the United States. In 2003, Canada's tax burden equals about 33.8% of GDP placing it in the middle of the G7 countries, with Japan lowest at 25.3% and France highest at 43.4%.<ref>[http://www.fin.gc.ca/activty/faq1e.html#Taxation Department of Finance Canada: FAQs]</ref> The US rate is roughly 25.6%; this discrepancy is consistent with the differing levels of social services which the governments funds. Canada also had managed to run without a budget deficit for a number of years under the last Liberal government.<br />
<br />
Equalization payments, worth 11.7 billion Canadian dollars are made by the federal government to the provinces from richer provinces (currently Alberta, Newfoundland,<ref>[http://www.cbc.ca/canada/newfoundland-labrador/story/2008/11/03/have-not.html]</ref> and British Columbia) and the poorer provinces (Ontario,<ref>[http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/11/03/flaherty-ministers.html]</ref> Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Quebec, Manitoba and Saskatchewan). This is to ensure that reasonably uniform standards of services and taxation are kept between the richer and poorer provinces.<ref>[http://www.budget.gc.ca/2007/bp/bpc4e.html Budget 2007]</ref> These payments have not been without controversy as provinces begin to make more revenues from natural resources they do not want to give up the Equalization payments.<br />
<br />
British Columbia's combined federal and provincial corporate tax rate is lower than any jurisdiction in the United States.<ref name=tax>{{cite web|url=http://www.britishcolumbia.ca/Invest/Business-Climate/Pages/CompetitiveTaxClimate.aspx|title=Competitive Tax Climate|publisher=British Columbia|accessdate=Aug 12, 2012}}</ref> The BC corporate rate is 10% and the federal rate is 15%.<ref name=tax/><br />
<br />
Canada also has a national sales tax, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 5% on all purchases. Some provinces add an additional percentage in the form of a Provincial Sales Tax (PST), or a combined Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) combining GST and the Provincial Sales Tax. Based on actual income, and a number of other factors, the government will refund GST/HST to eligible tax payers in quarterly installments on the fifth of the month in July, October, January, and April.<br />
<br />
====Public Health Care====<br />

{{See also|Two-tier system}}<br />
In 1984, the Federal Government, under the leadership of the Liberals and The Right Honourable [[Pierre Trudeau|Pierre Elliot Trudeau]], enacted the Canada Health Act. This act was based on the five principles of "universality, accessibility, portability, comprehensiveness, and public administration".<ref>[http://www.fin.gc.ca/FEDPROV/hise.html History of Canada Health and Social Transfer]</ref> This public health care system is run in partnership by Health Canada and provincial Ministries of Health, who both contribute tax revenues. The federal government sets policy, while the provinces are responsible for actual administration. In 1995, the Canada Health and Social Transfer was created to replace existing systems for the transferral of tax funding to the provinces to administer social programs. The rationale behind the system is to allow all Canadians equal access to equal treatment, regardless of socio-economic status. <br />
<br />
In Canada health care is frequently listed as top issue in election campaigns and is both a topic of frequent debate and a point of pride for many Canadians, Tommy Douglas the founder of medicare was, for example, voted the "Greatest Canadian" on a CBC television programme in 2004.<ref><br />
http://www.cbc.ca/greatest/</ref><br />
<br />
The current state of Canada's public health care system is gathering increasing media attention due to rising wait times. David Gratzer wrote:<br />
<blockquote>... government researchers have provided the best data on the doctor shortage, noting, for example, that more than 1.5 million Ontarians (or 12 percent of that province’s population) can’t find family physicians.<ref>[http://city-journal.org/html/17_3_canadian_healthcare.html The Ugly Truth about Canadian Healthcare]</ref></blockquote><br />
Most of the blame for the current state of affairs has been placed on successive government mismanagement. This represents a failure of the federal government to properly regulate the level of service being offered in the provinces. People regularly have to wait between four and eight months for non-emergency surgeries. The median wait time for an MRI across Canada is 10.3 weeks in 2006.<ref>http://www.fraserinstitute.ca/shared/readmore.asp?sNav=nr&id=753</ref> In fact, former Prime Minister [[Jean Chretien|Jean Chrétien]] campaigned on a promise to shut down private MRI clinics because it creates a two tier system, regardless of the demand for more facilities.<br />
<br />
In recent years, there has been suggestion from some lobby groups that Canada should adopt a two-tier health care system, while others have expressed strong opposition to this idea, including the federal government under the Liberal Party. Some argue that Canada already does have a two-tier health care system as the very wealthy can go to the United States for treatment. The argument for allowing private health care is twofold. The first reason is that competition may improve the quality of products and services, while the increase in options will allow those with the means to access private health care and may relieve some of the burden off the public system. Critics argue that health is a right, and that everyone should have access to the same standard of care.<br />
<br />
Recently, in [[Québec]], a provincial judge has ruled that private health care providers must be allowed to compete with the government-run health care system.<br />
<br />
Much as was the case in [[Nazi]] Germany, poor, disabled and sick Canadians are routinely [[Genocide|executed]] by the Government, with the taxpayer footing the bill.<ref>https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-is-canada-euthanising-the-poor-</ref><br />
<br />
===Foreign relations===<br />
====Ukraine====<br />
[[File:Canadian Prime Minister William Mackenzie King during his official visit to his friend Chancellor Adolf Hitler.jpg|right|350px|thumb|Canadian Prime Minister William Mackenzie King during his official visit to his friend Chancellor [[Adolf Hitler]].]]<br />
On November 9, 2021, ''Ottawa Citizen'' military reporter David Pugliese revealed that when [[Canadian]] military officials met with the neo-Nazi [[Azov Battalion]] in June 2018, they knew the group used the Nazi “Wolfsangel” symbol and praised officials who helped slaughter [[Jews]] and [[Polish|Poles]] during World War II. “A year before the meeting,” reports Pugliese, "Canada’s Joint Task Force Ukraine produced a briefing on the Azov Battalion, acknowledging its links to Nazi ideology."<ref>https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/canadian-officials-who-met-with-ukrainian-unit-linked-to-neo-nazis-feared-exposure-by-news-media-documents</ref> Rather than express public disagreement with their views, Canadian military officials sought to manage any potential public relations fallout from at least two meetings, which included Azov representatives boasting about their Canadian support.<br />
<br />
A September 2021 report from an Institute at George Washington University revealed that Centuria boasted about being trained by some of the 200 Canadian troops in the Ukraine. The report detailed Centuria members making Nazi salutes, praising [[SS]] units and promoting [[white supremacy]].<ref>https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/far-right-extremists-in-ukrainian-military-bragged-about-canadian-training-report-says-1.5631304</ref><br />
<br />
In March 2016 retired Canadian soldier Oksana Kuzyshyn spoke at an event titled “A Canadian’s experience training the AZOV Battalion to NATO standards”.<ref name="ucpbacalgary.ca">https://ucpbacalgary.ca/event/march-31-2016-one-canadians-experience-training-the-azov-batallion-to-nato-standards/</ref> One month earlier “nearly 200 officer cadets and professors of Canada’s Royal Military College” attended a screening of Ukrainians/Les Ukrainiens: God's Volunteer Battalion, which praised fascist militias fighting in the [[Donbas]].<ref name="ucpbacalgary.ca"/><br />
<br />
Since U.S. and Canadian backed ultranationalists overthrew [[democracy|democratically]] elected President [[Viktor Yanukovych]] in the 2014 Maidan coup, Canadian politicians have spoken alongside and marched with Canadian members of Ukraine's [[Pravy Sektor]],<ref>http://theleftchapter.blogspot.com/2016/09/what-is-far-right-organisation-right.html</ref> which said it was “defending the values of white, Christian Europe against the loss of the nation and deregionalisation.”<ref>https://mondediplo.com/2014/03/02ukraine</ref> Pravy Sektor has been implicated in the [[Odessa Trade Unions House massacre]] wherein at least 46 ethnic Russians were burnt alive by Maidan fascists. The black and red flag of Pravy Sektor is based on the Nazi-era "bloods and soil" flag. <br />
<br />
Alongside the U.S., Canada has funded, equipped and trained the neo-Nazi infiltrated National Police of Ukraine (NPU), which was founded after the democratically Yanukovych was overthrown. A former deputy commander of the Azov Battalion, Vadim Troyan had a series of senior positions in the NPU, including acting chief.<ref>https://yvesengler.com/2020/03/01/neo-nazis-arrest-highlights-ottawas-support-for-ukrainian-far-right/</ref><br />
<br />
Efraim Zuroff, the Director of the [[Simon Wiesenthal|Simon Wiesenthal Center]] in [[Israel]], denounced Canadian troops for training neo-Nazi fighters in Ukraine, saying Ottawa has a responsibility to prevent such things from happening. “The Government of Canada did not exercise due diligence” Ephraim Zuroff told ''Citizen'' of Ottawa. “There is no doubt that there are neo-Nazis in Ukraine in various forms, whether in the Azov Regiment or other organizations."<ref>https://www.b92.net/eng/news/world.php?yyyy=2022&mm=04&dd=14&nav_id=113531</ref><br />
<br />
During his trip to Ukraine in 2016 Justin Trudeau was photographed with Ukrainian Nazi leader [[Andriy Parubiy]], who had a background with the ultranationalists and was accused of praising [[Hitler]].<ref>https://www.mondialisation.ca/meet-andriy-parubiy-the-former-neo-nazi-leader-turned-speaker-of-ukraines-parliament/5520502</ref> In ''Canada is Not Back: How Justin Trudeau is in Over His Head on Foreign Policy'', Jocelyn Coulon, who was a member of Trudeau's International Affairs Council of Advisers and then an adviser to former foreign minister Stephane Dion, described how the Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) sabotaged efforts to lessen tension with Russia. “Dion’s determination to restore relations with Russia quickly came up against pro Ukrainian pressure groups,” he wrote.<br />
<br />
To a large extent Ottawa and Washington view the Ukraine as a proxy to weaken Russia. As part of this geopolitical competition, they've backed neo-Nazi militia members fighting the independent [[Donbas]] republics.<ref>https://mronline.org/2021/11/13/military-knows-it-looks-bad-but-works-with-neo-nazis-anyway/</ref><br />
<br />
====India====<br />
In September 2023 [[India]] stopped issuing [[visa]]s to Canadian citizens amid an escalating dispute over the killing of a [[Sikh]] separatist on June 18, 2023, on Canadian soil. The government of India said the temporary move was due to “security threats” disrupting work at its missions in Canada. Canada's visa services remained open in India.<br />
<br />
Tensions flared when after Canadian [[dictator]] Justin Trudeau publicly accused India of being involved in the killing. Relations between the countries – key trade and security partners, and US allies – were at an all-time low. More migrants to Canada come from India than any other country.<br />

As of the most recent cabinet shuffle, Conservative MP Peter MacKay has assumed the role of Minister of National Defense.<br />
<br />
The Canadian Forces is comprised of the Regular Force and the Reserve Force. The Regular and Reserve Forces employ over 62,000 and 25,000 members respectively, about the same size as the [[United Arab Emirates]]. While the various branches wear distinctive elemental uniforms (DEU), the Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian Army and the Royal Canadian Air Force were amalgamated in 1968 into one common command structure.<ref>http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/about/index_e.asp</ref> <br />
The Canadian Forces are <ref>http://www.canadianally.com/ca/forces-cf-en.asp</ref> equipped with modern vehicles such as the Canadian-built LAV III, the German-built Leopard CII tanks and both the American-built CF-18 Hornet and CC-177 Globemaster III. The Canadian government spends about 17 billion Canadian dollars annually on defence.<ref>[http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/est-pre/20072008/me-bd/part1/ME-030_e.asp http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/est-pre/20072008/me-bd/part1/ME-030_e.asp]</ref><br />
<br />
The Conservative government has continued the trend of increased defense spending initiated by the Liberals, and have also taken steps to decrease red-tape preventing the troops from having the necessary equipment to keep them safe and effective. They have also taken steps to establish Canada's sovereignty over its arctic regions.<br />
<br />
Over 3000 Canadian troops are currently deployed around the world, including a few fighter planes used in operations in the middle East. Another 500 are deployed to the Middle East where they are attached to a US-led coalition fleet and the Standing NATO Maritime Group 1 (SNMG1). These are prime examples of Canada's capability for interoperability with foreign military forces.<br />

<br />
===Liberal fascist expropriation of property===<br />
<br />
In February 2022 Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland announced an expansion of “terrorist financing” rules that would allow banks to freeze assets with no oversight. The new measures also apply to crowdfunding outlets and payment processing providers. “We are broadening the scope of Canada’s anti-money laundering and terrorist financing rules so that they cover crowdfunding platforms and the payment service providers they use,” Freeland said. The expanded rules also apply to digital assets, such as cryptocurrency. In enacting the changes, Freeland said that what she claimed were "illegal" blockades "...have highlighted the fact that crowdfunding platforms and some of the payment service providers they use are not fully captured under the proceeds of crime and terrorist financing act." All crowdfunding platforms and service providers were required to register with the Canadian government's financial intelligence unit, FINTRAC, and report “large and suspicious transactions.”<ref>https://nationalfile.com/canada-expand-scope-terrorist-financing-rules-will-allow-banks-freeze-assets-no-oversight/</ref><br />
<br />
GPS tracking of cell phone data is able to identify anyone within the vicinity of where protests take place.<br />
<br />
Freeland went on to threaten Canadian Freedom Truckers with extreme measures if they do not go home. “If your truck is being used in these illegal blockades, your corporate accounts will be frozen, the insurance on your vehicle will be suspended,” Freeland added. Banks and financial services providers will also be allowed by Freeland to freeze or suspend accounts without a court order, intended by her to specifically target the Freedom Convoy and its supporters while hypocritically ignoring crowdfunding campaigns by violent leftist groups such as Antifa. “In doing so, they will be protected against civil liability for actions taken in good faith,” the Deputy PM continued - while she ignored that by acting at Freeland's behest in targeting the Freedom Convoy and other peaceful and legal protests, the banks would be acting in ''bad'' faith and thus would ''not'' be protected against civil liability.<br />
[[File:Trudeau run on the banks.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Run on banks as a result of the liberal fascist regime's expropriation orders.]]<br />
As part of his continued overreach of power, the Trudeau regime and the RCMP began sending the names of those taking part in the Freedom Convoy protests to Canadian banks with orders to freeze the accounts of the participants for standing up to Trudeau's actions.<ref>Two references:<br />
*[https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/02/17/canada-police-to-distribute-names-of-trucker-protesters-to-financial-institutions/ Canada Police to Send Names of Trucker Protesters to Financial Institutions] at Breitbart News Network<br />
*[https://www.rebelnews.com/confirmed_bank_accounts_are_being_frozen_under_justin_trudeaus_emergency_economic_measures_order CONFIRMED: Bank accounts are being frozen under Justin Trudeau's Emergency Economic Measures Order] at Rebel News</ref> The opposition Conservatives condemned Trudeau and Freeland's heavy-handed move of freezing bank accounts without evidence of what the regime claimed was "extremist activity", with acting Conservative leader Candice Bergen stating that Trudeau "...has jumped straight to the most extreme measure."<br />
<br />
Canadian Justice Minister David Lametti told CTV News that citizens identified as supporting [[President Donald Trump]] are subject to “de-banking” as part of the Canadian government's official target identification process. During the segment, Lametti hedged and dodged questioning about what terms and conditions the Canadian government is using to instruct the RCMP and financial institutions. However, after equating the Trudeau order to the same principles around terrorism, the ‘Justice Minister’ finally said:<br />
{{quotebox-float|”If you are a member of a pro Trump movement who is donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to this kind of thing, then you ought to be worried.”<ref>https://youtu.be/Qisd2juHvps</ref>}}<br />
Trudeau's expropriation order caused a panic and a run on the banks.<ref>https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/trudeau-inadvertently-caused-a-bank-run-in-canada/</ref> People rushed to ATM's to withdraw their cash before the government could seize it. Five major Canadian banks went offline, preventing a number of customers from using e-Transfers, online banking, and mobile banking services. The financial institutions affected by the outage included the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), BMO (Bank of Montreal), Scotiabank, TD Canada Trust, and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC).<ref>https://finbold.com/five-major-canadian-banks-mysteriously-go-offline-in-hours-long-outage/</ref><br />

===Business===<br />
<br />
Canada has invested heavily in high-tech, export-oriented businesses, achieving major success in:<br />
* Aerospace: Canada's global share of aerospace activity has tripled in the last 20 years, making Canada the world's 5th largest aerospace producer. <br />
* Ag-biotech: Canadian firms’ revenues exceed those of US agro-based companies and are more than double those of Japan and the UK. <br />
* Agri-food: Canada is the world's fourth-largest exporter of agricultural products. <br />
* Automotive: Canada is among the Top 10 automotive countries and the 3rd largest exporter of automotive products after Japan and the U.S. Most of the output goes to the U.S. market.<br />
* Biotechnology: Canada is a leader in biotechnology—one of the top five countries in the world. <br />
* Plastics: Canada is the world's fourth largest exporter of moulds and eighth largest exporter of plastics processing machinery.<br />

<br />
Canadians worry that Obama's economic policies will damage Canada's economy, especially [[cap and trade]], the Buy America rule in the 2009 stimulus, and environmental hostility to Canadian oil produced from oil sands.<br />
<br />
===Energy===<br />
Canada has vast natural resources and is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of energy. In 2005, Canada produced 19.1 quadrillion British Thermal Units (Btu) of total energy, the fifth-largest amount in the world. Since 1980, Canada's total energy production has increased by 86%, while its total energy consumption has increased by only 48% during that period. Almost all of Canada's energy exports go to the United States, making it the largest foreign source of U.S. energy imports: Canada is consistently among the top sources for U.S. oil imports, and it is the largest source of U.S. natural gas and electricity imports.<ref>See Energy Information Administration, [http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cabs/Canada/Background.html "Canada" (2009 report)]</ref><br />
<br />
In 2005, the largest source of energy consumption in Canada was oil (31%), followed by hydroelectricity (25%) and natural gas (24%). Both coal (12%) and nuclear (7%) constitute a smaller share of the country's overall energy mix. From 1985 to 2005, Canada's overall energy mix has remained relatively stable, though hydroelectricity has decreased from 31%to 25%, as oil drilling is more popular than dam building. As of 2011, the trend has reversed, and Hydroelectricity is making 32% of the country's electricity. The remainder is produced by oil, and renewables.<br />

* See [[History of Canada]]<br />
On October 20, 2014, during the [[Obama administration]]'s support for the [[global jihad]],<ref>https://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/18032</ref> a homegrown Canadian jihadist struck two soldiers with his car in a Quebec shopping mall parking lot, killing one and injuring the other.<ref>https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/isis-terror/man-who-killed-soldier-car-was-radical-muslim-authorities-say-n230526</ref> Two days later, a Canadian born [[jihad]]i shot and killed an honor guard in the back at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on the grounds of the National War Memorial in Ottawa. The jihadi fled to the Parliament building where Members of Parliament were caucusing. In an exchange of gunfir, the jihadi was shot and killed by the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Commons. Three others sustained injuries in the melee.<br />

The '''United Kingdom Independence Party''', also known by the acronym '''UKIP''' (pronounced "you-kip", its followers affectionately known as "Kippers"), is a [[conservative]] and [[Euroskeptic]] political party in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1993, it campaigns for [[British]] withdrawal from the [[European Union]] (EU). Its support-base is made up substantially of social conservative, traditional conservative and libertarian voters who are opposed to the surrender of British [[sovereignty]]. The party was dominated by [[Nigel Farage]], who served on-and-off as party leader from its creation until 2016. Prior to the 2016 [[Brexit]] referendum, it was also one of the fastest-growing British political parties; according to a YouTube interview with Farage in May 2015, the party had 47,000 members.<br />
<br />
The party has faded into relative obscurity as of 2023. It has largely been superseded by Nigel Farage's new political party, [[Reform UK]], which has been more successful on the national level in the UK.<br />
==Political influence==<br />
UKIP's top goal, of leaving the EU, was achieved when the British people voted to leave the EU in [[Brexit|a referendum]] held on June 23, 2016.<ref>Armstrong, Paul (July 15, 2016).

<br />
Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage is arguably the most successful British politician of the modern age for successfully advocating and then winning a referendum for leaving the EU.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2016/06/24/buzzfeed-nigel-farage-britains-successful-politician-generation/ BuzzFeed: Nigel Farage ‘Britain’s Most Successful Politician in a Generation’].

==Political positions and stances==<br />
[[File:Nigel Farage of UKIP.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Nigel Farage in 2008. Farage successfully supported taking Britain out of the EU, and he supports limiting immigration, small government, and British sovereignty.]]<br />
Under the leadership of Nigel Farage, UKIP broadened its political agenda. It now has policies on tax, defence, the health service, education, electoral reform and constitutional reform.<br />
<br />
UKIP attracts alienated voters especially on the right who are critical of the centralized and undemocratic structure of the [[EU]]. UKIP has endorsed a British centre-right economic agenda. It proposes a flat tax and opposes national identity cards. It is sceptical of the more extreme claims of [[AGW]] and critical of carbon-permits and other EU environmental policies as economically and environmentally harmful.<ref>http://www.ukip.org/page/ukip-manifesto</ref> UKIP opposes laws restricting freedom of speech, including on the internet.<ref>Deacon, Liam (July 3, 2018).

''Breitbart News''. Retrieved July 3, 2018.</ref><br />
<br />
In 2017, UKIP added banning the [[burqa]] and [[Sharia Law]] to its agenda.<ref>Deacon, Liam (April 23, 2017). [https://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/04/23/ukip-promises-to-ban-the-burqa-and-sharia-law/ UKIP Promises to Ban the Burqa and Sharia Law]. ''Breitbart News''. Retrieved April 24, 2017.</ref><br />
<br />
UKIP is frequently accused by the [[establishment]] and leftists of being a "racist" party and is associated with racist parties by the liberal media, such as the [[politically correct]] TV networks (such as the [[BBC]]) and newspapers (such as ''[[The Guardian]]''). Most claims of UKIP being "racist" are defended by pointing to a couple of minor disgraced UKIP councillors or party members – these people have often been expelled from the party. UKIP membership is in fact open to all, regardless of ethnic origin, and in the 2010 and 2015 elections, UKIP fielded a significant number of candidates who are members of ethnic minorities.<ref>http://www.manzoor4mep.co.uk/</ref><ref>http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/politics/election_2010/southampton_test/candidates/7984351.Pearline_Hingston__UKIP__Southampton_Test/</ref><ref>http://ukpollingreport.co.uk/guide/seat-profiles/tottenham</ref><br />
<br />
==Leadership crisis==<br />
Gerard Batten's term as leader of UKIP ended on 2 June 2019, triggering a leadership election, which he announced he would be standing in. UKIP's National Executive Committee prohibited him from doing so, on the grounds that he had "brought the party into disrepute" over his links with [[Tommy Robinson]]. Richard Braine, a supporter of Batten's previous leadership, was elected as leader on the 10 August 2019, only to resign from the party leadership in the following October, citing the NEC's "purge" of party members (who were loyal to Batten).<br />
<br />
Former leader Nigel Farage would later go on to co-found the [[Brexit Party]], now known as Reform UK.<br />
<br />
==Incomplete list of election results==<br />
In the 2008 European elections, UKIP came second, with 16.5% of the vote and 13 of the UK's 78 seats in the [[European Parliament]]. In the Parliamentary election of May 6, 2010, UKIP got 3.1% of the vote, a total of 917,232, an increase of 50% on the previous parliamentary election vote. However, owing to the electoral system, they still did not receive any MPs; therefore, the party is fervently in support for [[proportional representation]], forging an unlikely alliance with the Green Party of England and Wales (an eco-socialist party) and the [[Liberal Democrats]] (an allegedly centrist party, although a significant proportion of its policies come from the social democratic – ''i.e.'' [[socialist]] – trend). UKIP historically had 2 members in the [[House of Lords]]. <br />
<br />
In 2013, UKIP achieved a milestone in the local elections when 147 councillors were elected across the UK adding to the 50-60 councillors that were already in place.<br />
<br />
The 2014 European Parliament elections were a milestone for UKIP, as the received 27.49% of the vote as well as 24 seats, making it the largest UK party sitting the EU parliament, both in popular votes and seats, even larger than the Conservative and Labor parties.<ref>[https://www.bbc.com/news/events/vote2014/eu-uk-results UK European election results]. ''BBC''. Retrieved September 8, 2016.</ref><br />
<br />
Despite claims that UKIP was a "protest vote" in the European elections due to their avid euroscepticism, UKIP won 12.9% of the popular vote in the 2015 General Election in the United Kingdom. However, due to the inconsistent electoral system in the United Kingdom, they received just 1 seat out of 650. It has less than 500 councillors out of 20,000 and 3 (out of 780) members of the House of Lords. Under a system of [[proportional representation]], UKIP would have 82 seats, instead of just 1.<ref>McKernan, Bethan.

Published May 2015</ref><br />
<br />
The party's support sharply fell after the successful Brexit referendum in 2016, with most of its voters returning to the Conservative Party, and later the [[Brexit Party]].<ref>Multiple references:<br />

<div>'''Gerry Adams''' (born October 6, 1948) has been the president of [[Sinn Féin]], a political party in the [[Republic of Ireland]] and in [[Northern Ireland]], since 1983. He has been elected to the [[United Kingdom]] parliament, for the Belfast West constituency, but has never formally taken up his seat, although he and other Sinn Féin MPs do make use of parliamentary facilities. Adams was one of the key figures in the [[Irish peace process]], which culminated with the 1998 [[Good Friday Agreement]].<ref>Moloney, E. (2002). A Secret History of the IRA. New York: WJ Wiley</ref><br />
<br />
== Early life ==<br />
Gerard Adams (Gearóid Mac Ádhaimh in Irish) was born into a [[Catholic]] Nationalist family in West Belfast as one of ten siblings. Both sides of the family had an extensive history of involvement in Nationalist activities. Adams attended primary school in Belfast, but left school early to become a bartender, and joined Sinn Féin in 1964.<br />
<br />
== Republican activity ==<br />
Adams was an important figure in the [[terrorist]] [[IRA]] from the early 1970s.<ref>http://www.ivanfoster.org/page.asp?ira</ref> He was interned without trial in 1971 but released in July 1972 to participate in negotiations with the British government. Adams has consistently denied ever being an IRA member.<ref>Cowan, R. (October 1, 2002). Adams denies IRA links as book calls him genius. ''The Guardian''.</ref><br />
<br />
In 1983, Adams became the first member of Sinn Féin to be elected to the UK [[House of Commons]] since 1918. Sinn Féin had generally not contested UK elections during that period, as a protest against UK rule in Northern Ireland. Adams is an abstentionist MP, meaning that he has never taken his seat in the House of Commons, consistent with Sinn Féin policy.<br />
<br />
In March 1984 Adams survived an assassination attempt by members of the [[Ulster Freedom Fighters]], or UFF, a terrorist group dedicated to maintaining the link between Northern Ireland and the UK. The UFF members were arrested shortly after the shooting by undercover officers of the [[Royal Ulster Constabulary]], and Adams has claimed that the police were aware that the assassination attempt was planned and allowed it to happen.<ref>Maguire, K. (December 14, 2006). Adams wants 1984 shooting probe. ''BBC''.</ref><br />
<br />
==Retirement==<br />
In November 2017, Adams announced that he plans to stand down as leader of Sinn Féin in 2018 and that <br />
he will not stand for election to the Irish parliament at the next election.<ref>https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-42039618</ref><br />

'''Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela''' (July 18, 1918 – December 5, 2013) was a [[South Africa]]n anti-apartheid leader and politician who served as President of South Africa from 1994-1999. For his life Mandela received more than 250 honors, including the 1993 [[Nobel Peace Prize]], the US [[Presidential Medal of Freedom]] (from [[George W. Bush]]), the [[Sakharov Prize]], the Soviet Order of Lenin and the Bharat Ratna.<br />
<br />
He belonged to the African National Congress, a political party from the center-left to the ultra-left Leninist, which he presided from 1991 to 1997, after its legalization in 1990. He was a member and was general secretary of the MPNA (Movement of Non-Aligned Countries) between 1998 and 2002. This was a coalition of countries that remained "neutral" in the Cold War. Nelson supported the Marxist Cuban revolution, [[Fidel Castro]], and the values of and actions taken by the regime.<ref>Speech by Nelson Mandela, July 26, 1991, in Cuba: http://db.nelsonmandela.org/speeches/pub_view.asp?pg=item&ItemID=NMS1526&txtstr=cuba</ref> He also supported [[Muammar al-Gaddafi]]<ref>https://youtu.be/G-afUmpGBmw</ref> and Ayatollah [[Ali Khamenei]].<ref>https://youtu.be/wCPlz9-SyPM</ref><br />

<br />
==Pre-imprisonment career==<br />
===Work experience, early political activism===<br />
In Johannesburg, Mandela was introduced to Walter Sisulu, a [[real estate]] businessman and a prominent member of the [[African National Congress]] (ANC) - a black liberation party opposed the extreme segregation called [[apartheid]];<ref name="AllAfrica"/><ref name="NYT obituary"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.history.com/topics/apartheid|title=Apartheid|work=History|publisher=A&E Television Networks, LLC|accessdate=December 18, 2013|language=English}}</ref> Sisulu arranged for Mandela to be articled to a white attorney, Lazar Sidelsky, while Mandela studied [[law]] part-time at University of the Witwatersrand - though he would leave the school in 1948.<ref name="official biography"/><ref name="independent biography"/> Mandela began to follow Anton Lembede; he, along with Mandela, Tambo and Sisulu organized the radical A.N.C. Youth League, alienating some white sympathizers with their strong black national rhetoric.<ref name="AllAfrica"/><ref name="NYT obituary"/><ref name="independent biography"/> The Youth League was also critical of the "old guard" leadership of the ANC.<ref name="AllAfrica"/> <br />
{{QuoteBox2|quote=“I was angry at the white man, not at racism ...

At this time, Mandela fell strongly onto the side of Africanism is the liberation debate between Africanism and nonracialism <br />
in liberation theology, though his eventual embrace of nonracialism would define his later life and career.<ref name="NYT obituary"/> The ANC Youth League was also fiercely anti-[[communist]]; Mandela would break up Communist Party meetings - regarding Communism as foreign and non-Afircan and believing that blacks should liberate themselves.<ref name="NYT obituary"/><ref name="independent biography"/> This philosophy changed with the victory of the Afrikaner National Party in 1948 in the all-white elections; the National Party had run on a platform of [[apartheid]] and strong anti-communism.<ref name="independent biography"/> The elections sparked the radicalization of the ANC<ref name="telegraph biography">{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/nelson-mandela/10503342/Nelson-Mandela-A-life-rich-in-drama-tragedy-triumph-and-reconciliation.html|work=The Telegraph|title=Nelson Mandela: A life rich in drama, tragedy, triumph and reconciliation|language=English|author= Holman, Michael|date=December 7, 2013|accessdate=December 18, 2013}}</ref> - in 1949 the Youth League's tactics of boycott, strike, civil disobedience and non-co-operation were adopted as official ANC policy, and older members were purged from leadership positions.<ref name="AllAfrica"/> Mandela would assume leadership positions within the party - including President of the Youth League and National Volunteer-in-Chief of the ANC.<ref name="AllAfrica"/><br />
<br />
In 1952, the ANC launched its first passive resistance - the Campaign for the Defiance of Unjust Laws.<ref name="AllAfrica"/><ref name="independent biography"/> The Defiance Campaign was suppressed with legislation lead by the National Party; protests were met with arrests - including that of Mandela's in 1956 on charges of [[treason]] (one of 156 ANC leaders to be arrested that year).<ref name="independent biography"/> The court found that Mandela had consistently advised his adherers to not resort to violence, but he was found guilty of contravening the Suppression of Communism Act and given a suspended prison sentence.<ref name="AllAfrica"/> Mandela was also confined to Johannesburg for six months and prohibited from attending gatherings; during this time, Mandela, despite not completing his law degree, and Tambo set up the first black law partnership in South Africa;<ref name="NYT obituary"/> the firm helped black clients with their political and other legal difficulties.<ref name="independent biography"/><br />
<br />
In 1953, Mandela created the M-plan (named after him) - a contingency plan in case the ANC - like the Communist Party - was declared illegal. The M-plan detailed how the party could run underground, communicating with members without resorting to public meetings.<ref name="AllAfrica"/> Throughout the fifties Mandela would be consistently banned, arrested and imprisoned.<ref name="AllAfrica"/> In 1960 - the more radical Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) broke away from the ANC; their tactics- though still peaceful - were more aggressive and were met with violence.<ref name="AllAfrica"/><ref name="independent biography"/> On March 21, 1961 police killed 69 peaceful protestors in what became known as the Sharpeville Massacre; after this massacre both parties were banned.<ref name="AllAfrica"/><ref name="NYT obituary"/><ref name="independent biography"/><br />
<br />
He also had been a Communist, and even went as far as to give a speech on how to be a good communist.<ref name="web.archive.org">https://web.archive.org/web/20041204063644/http://home.wanadoo.nl/rhodesia/goodcom.html</ref> In addition, he also was a senior member of the South African Communist Party by his arrest in 1962.<ref>http://newobserveronline.com/mandela-lied-to-world-south-african-communist-party-admits-he-was-senior-central-committee-member/</ref> In 1990 at Johannesburg, he was also photographed with his then-wife Winnie (who was infamous for her method of execution known as necklacing, which involved putting a tire to a person's neck filled with gasoline and setting them on fire) as well as Stalinist member Joe Slovo during a South African Communist Party rally with the Soviet Star and Hammer and Sickle logos prominently displayed on a red background.<ref>https://timeonhands.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/soviet-support-for-nelson-mandela.jpg</ref><br />
<br />
===Militarist leader===<br />
The Sharpeville Massacre sparked a turning point for Mandela - he became convinced that the ANC needed to adopt a separate military wing, called Umkhonto we Sizwe, or Spear of the Nation; Mandela was made commander-in-chief.<ref name="NYT obituary"/><ref name="independent biography"/> There is also evidence that Mandela joined the South African Communist Party and a member the party's Central Committee (though he denied it through his life) - presumably for contacts.<ref name="NYT obituary"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bdlive.co.za/national/politics/2013/12/06/sacp-confirms-nelson-mandela-was-a-member|work=Business Day Live|title=http://www.bdlive.co.za/national/politics/2013/12/06/sacp-confirms-nelson-mandela-was-a-member|author= Marrian, Natasha|date=December 6, 2013|language=English}}</ref><br />
The new, violent, methods of the ANC were to destroy power plants and communications systems; the goal was that these acts would limit overseas investment. Mandela was adamant that the group not kill, but by the end of its 20-year campaign 63 people had been killed and 483 injured; the group was declared a [[terrorist]] group by the white South African government and the United States.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/southafrica/8304153/Nelson-Mandelas-Spear-of-the-Nation-the-ANCs-armed-resistance.html|title=Nelson Mandela's Spear of the Nation: the ANC's armed resistance|author=Laing, Aislinn|work=The Telegraph|language=English|date=February 5, 2011|accessdate=December 18, 2013}}</ref> Mandela left the country soon after the Spear of the Nation began its tactics, hoping to generate worldwide support and economic sanctions so that Pretoria might abandon apartheid.<ref name="independent biography"/> In 1962, Mandela was arrested after 17 months in hiding, charged with incitement to strike and illegally leaving the country.<ref name="independent biography"/> Mandela was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison.<ref name="AllAfrica"/><ref name="independent biography"/><br />
{{QuoteBox2|quote=“I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons will live together in harmony and with equal opportunities.

But my lord, if it needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.”|source=Nelson Mandela<ref name="NYT obituary"/>|align=right|width=300px}}<br />
While serving, the South African police raided a farm near Rivonia - finding future plans of sabotage; Mandela and his colleagues were charged with organising sabotage and violent revolution as well as furthering the aims of communism; at his trial, Mandela declared his ideal of democracy in a four-hour speech - concluding, "It is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."<ref name="independent biography"/> Mandela acknowledged his crimes - that he was the commander of Spear of the Nation and that he had made alliances with Communists, but declared that he had turned to violence only when nonviolent means were foreclosed and likened his affiliation with Communists to Churchill's cooperation with Stalin against Hitler.<ref name="NYT obituary"/> Nelson also commented on his political evolution from black nationalist to multiracialist.<ref name="NYT obituary"/> In part due to overwhelming pressure from the international community - including a near-unanimous vote by the [[United Nations]] - the lives of the accused were spared; Mandela and his colleagues were sentenced to life in prison.<ref name="NYT obituary"/> When President Botha offered to have him pardoned if he would renounce terrorism, he refused.<ref name="web.archive.org"/><br />
<br />
==Imprisonment==<br />
Mandela became an elder statesman of the prison on Robben Island<ref name="telegraph biography"/> - where there were frequent clashes with prisoners and guards, he seemed above the fray; he was also singled out for cruelties. He was denied permission to attend the funerals of his mother and oldest son, and his wife endured persecution after being exiled from Johannesburg.<ref name="NYT obituary"/> Mandela and the prisoners initially turned down officers of release; he commented "Prisoners cannot enter into contracts - only free men can [[negotiate]]."<ref name="AllAfrica"/> Mandela credited his time in prison with the cessation of his desire for [[vengeance]], speaking of sympathetic white guards and National Party members who would attempt a dialogue.<ref name="NYT obituary"/><br />
<br />
Pretoria began a more stringent crackdown on minority party activities - it detained 20,000 people without trial,<ref name="independent biography"/> but the pressure from the international community was too great. Mandela ultimately decided to negotiate with the white government without telling his fellow inmates and party-members, saying, “My comrades did not have the advantages that I had of brushing shoulders with the V.I.P.’s who came here, the judges, the minister of justice, the commissioner of prisons, and I had come to overcome my own prejudice towards them ... So I decided to present my colleagues with a fait accompli.”<ref name="NYT obituary"/><br />
<br />
In December 1988, as negotiations gathered momentum, and Mandela's health deteriorated (he had prostate surgery while in prison), he was moved to the Victor Verster Prison - where he could be better cared for and live in more comfortable conditions.<ref name="AllAfrica"/><ref name="NYT obituary"/> In February 1990, President Frederik Willem de Klerk legalized the ANC and shortly after released Mandela; two weeks later Mandela became the Deputy President of the ANC.<ref name="independent biography"/> <br />
<br />
===Release and election===<br />
Negotiations between Mandela, the ANC and the ruling party continued until eventually free elections were agreed upon, in exchange for a share of power for opposition parties and a guarantee that whites would not be threatened with reprisals.<ref name="NYT obituary"/> In the ensuing elections of April 1994, the ANC won 62% of the vote - ensuring that Mandela would be the next President of South Africa.<ref name="NYT obituary"/><ref name="independent biography"/><br />
<br />
==Presidency==<br />
Though elected leader, Mandela was frequently deferring to others in leadership. De Klerk and Thabo Mbeki - the latter selected by the ANC - were Mandela's deputy presidents, and privately he left most appointments and practical decisions to Mbeki, referring to himself as "head of state" rather than "head of government".<ref name="independent biography"/> When De Klerk left the coalition, Mbeki was allowed more power - sometimes presiding over the cabinet.<br />
<br />
Mandela was not as effective in elected office as he was revolutionary leader. Prior to his election - he sought the financial support of 20 industrialists to build up the ANC. When he took office, he allowed the industrialists to have unprecedented access to the executive - and favored his big donors over unions.<ref name="NYT obituary"/> Mandela also made minimal progress towards the modest goals he had set on housing, education and jobs.<ref name="NYT obituary"/> He failed to grab the lead at the dawn of the ensuing crisis of [[AIDS]]; refusing to acknowledge the unpopular subject at a time when contraceptives were considered [[taboo]] in South Africa.<ref name="independent biography"/><br />
<br />
Still, Mandela continued to act as a unifier among races - as in 1995 when he shook the hand of Francois Pienaar - the Springbok [[rugby]] captain - significant due to rugby's strong association with Afrikaners - whose leaders strongly supported apartheid.<ref name="telegraph biography"/><ref>{{cite web|title=Mandela - Francois Pienaar’s tribute: short, simple, apt|work=Daily Maverick|author=Muller, Antoinette|date=December 12, 2013|accessdate=December 18, 2013|url=http://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2013-12-12-mandela-francois-pienaars-tribute-short-simple-apt/#.UrM_sJGilDI}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Post-Presidency==<br />
===Reaction to successor===<br />
Mandela rarely directly criticized his successor, Mbeki, but privately criticized his inability to take criticism and his conspiratorial view of the world.<ref name="NYT obituary"/> When Mbeki publicly doubted the scientifically proven cause of AIDS, Mandela finally spoke out on the issue - citing the importance of condoms and contraceptives.<ref name="NYT obituary"/><br />

<br />
On July 4, 2013, it was revealed that court documents indicated that Nelson Mandela was on life support and was being kept alive by a breathing machine and faced "impending death"; he was kept in the hospital from June 8, 2013<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2013/07/04/nelson-mandela-africa-apartheid/2489137/|work=Associated Press|publisher=USA Today|author=Straziuso, Jason|date=July 4, 2013|title=Nelson Mandela on life support, court documents show}}</ref> to December 5th, 2013, when he died.<br />

'''Roger Waters''' is a singer, songwriter and lyricist, who often plays bass guitar, and sometimes guitars. He is primarily known for being one of the creative geniuses of the progressive rock band [[Pink Floyd]]. After leaving the band in 1984, he began a moderately successful solo career. Roger Waters is a well-known philanthropist who gives annually to various religious charities<ref>http://www.roger-waters.com/fallen.php</ref> On the other hand, he became infamous as a bigot.<br />
<br />
In February 2022 Waters told an [[RT]] interviewer that Russia was responding to [[NATO]] provocations: "This war is basically about the action and reaction of NATO pushing right up to the Russian border – which they promised they wouldn’t do when [[Gorbachev]] negotiated the withdrawal of the [[U.S.S.R.]] from the whole of [[Eastern Europe]]."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/roger-waters-defends-branding-joe-biden-as-a-war-criminal-hes-fuelling-the-fire-in-the-ukraine-3284791|title=Roger Waters defends branding Joe Biden as a war criminal: "He's fuelling the fire in the Ukraine"|last=Robinson|first=Ellie|date=7 August 2022|website=[[NME]]|access-date=|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220810230610/https://www.nme.com/news/music/roger-waters-defends-branding-joe-biden-as-a-war-criminal-hes-fuelling-the-fire-in-the-ukraine-3284791|archive-date=10 August 2022|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://ultimateclassicrock.com/roger-waters-joe-biden-war-criminal/|title=Why Rogers Waters Calls Joe Biden 'A War Criminal'|last=Rapp|first=Allison|date=8 August 2022|website=Ultimate Classic Rock|access-date=|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220810201200/https://ultimateclassicrock.com/roger-waters-joe-biden-war-criminal/|archive-date=10 August 2022|url-status=live}}</ref> In another interview, Waters said the invasion of Ukraine was "probably the most provoked invasion ever" and refused to "see Russia from the current [[Russo-phobic]] perspective".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Willman |first=Chris |date=2023-02-08 |title=Roger Waters Addresses U.N.

Waters was added to the [[Ukrainian]] [[neo-Nazi]] [[Myrotvorets|kill list]] in August 2022.<ref>https://dxczjjuegupb.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Selection_053-1024x768.jpg</ref> <br />
<br />
However he also criticized [[Putin]].<br />
In his 2023 address, given at the invitation of Russia, which Mr. Waters said had mounted an “illegal” invasion that he condemned in “the strongest possible terms.” But in his next breath, he said the invasion “was not unprovoked,” and condemned “the provocateurs just as strongly,”<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/09/world/europe/pink-floyd-roger-waters-ukraine.html Roger Waters of Pink Floyd weighs in on the war in Ukraine, again.], ''NYT'', Feb 9, 2023</ref> in "the strongest possible terms".<ref>{{Cite news |last=Nichols |first=Michelle |date=2023-02-08 |title=Invited by Russia, Roger Waters tells UN: Ukraine invasion illegal |language=en |work=[[Reuters]] |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/invited-by-russia-roger-waters-tells-un-ukraine-invasion-illegal-2023-02-08/ |access-date=}}</ref><br />
<br />
On 5 September 2022, the day after Olena Zelenska, wife of Ukrainian dictator Vladimir Zelensky, appeared on the [[BBC]], Waters published an open letter to her. He argued that [[the West]] should not support Ukraine with weapons, and that the West, led by the US, was interested in prolonging the war. He urged her husband to end the war based on the [[Minsk agreements]].<ref>[https://www.pressenza.com/2022/09/an-open-letter-to-mrs-olena-zelenska-from-roger-waters/ An Open letter to Mrs Olena Zelenska from Roger Waters], pressenza.com, 05.09.22, Independent Media Institute</ref> Waters's concerts in [[Poland]] were cancelled following the comments.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Easton |first=Adam |date=25 September 2022 |title=Roger Waters gigs in Poland cancelled amid Ukraine backlash |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-63026101}}</ref> <br />

Aviv Geffen launched a harsh attack against Roger Waters, the lead singer of the Pink Floyd band who denied the crimes of Hamas on October 7, and revealed a meeting he once had with him: "I met a pit of stupidity, you are a modern, detached and evil executioner."<br />
Geffen first wrote that "a few days ago I moved house and as part of the move I also sorted through my huge record collection. When I got to your solo albums something in me prevented me from moving them to my new home. Today you turned up the engine of lies, hatred and anti-Semitism. Today you decided to hurt the women who were raped for not Injustice. Women who, like the other abductees, did no harm to anyone, just went to sleep in their beds. I believe that a large part of them listened to your songs."<br />
<br />
Geffen continued to attack: "How dare you tell the world that there were no rape cases? That there are no children in captivity? Who are you protecting, the devil? Let me remind you, on Friday of October there was a ceasefire, the next day 1,500 people were murdered, people were kidnapped and rape was committed, which has been proven many times.

<blockquote><small><br />
Roger,<br />
A few days ago, I moved. While packing, I sorted through my vast record collection, and when I came across your solo albums, something inside stopped me from taking them to my new home.<br />
I left all your albums, along with a few rusty spoons, a torn tablecloth, and a ripped curtain, in a dark room enclosed by walls stained with mold, just like your opinions. They belong there, alongside the rotting mold of humanity.<br />
Today, you jacked up your web of lies, hatred, and anti-Semitism; today, you chose to target the women who were unjustly raped in the Hamas invasion. Women who, like the other hostages, did no harm to anyone. All they did was sleep in their beds. I believe many of them listened to your songs…<br />
How dare you say there were no cases of rape? That there are no children in captivity? Who are you defending? The devil?<br />
Just to remind you, on October 6th, there was a ceasefire. The next morning, 1,500 people were murdered, and countless women were raped. This has been proved repeatedly. What conspiracy are you alluding to? You lost your father in the war against Hitler, but maybe there is a little something of Hitler in you?<br />
Between the lines of your hate-filled ramblings, I sense you are blaming the Jews for the loss of your father, but you need to rise above this primitive psychological association. Considering your age, your time could be put to better use…<br />
Or maybe it’s your ex-girlfriend, the Palestinian, Rula Jebreal. Are you still trying to impress her with your lies?<br />
A few years ago, I visited you at your home in the Hamptons. You asked if we could arrange a concert together, for Palestinians and Israelis, in Ramallah. I explained the technical difficulties in arranging for Israelis to cross into Ramallah. You wanted them to cross bearing candles, and I said, “Roger, I’m more concerned about them ever making it back alive from the concert…”<br />
So there you are, Roger, people were murdered and raped, without your concert, and without Israelis crossing into Ramallah.<br />
On the way to our meeting, I thought I was going to meet a pinnacle, and I returned to the apartment in New York feeling I had encountered a pit – a pit of ignorance, a ditch of attention-seeking, a crater of irrelevance.<br />
I pray for the return of all the hostages and await your apology to all the victims and captives of October 7th.<br />
You are a modern-day hangman, out of touch, and evil.<br />
Thank God we have Gilmour.<br />

Former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters on Friday defended his use of an anti-Jewish slur, after a documentary film said he had proposed writing the racist term on an inflatable pig used as a concert prop.<br />
<br />
The 37-minute film, titled “The Dark Side of Roger Waters,” was released by the UK-based advocacy group Campaign Against Antisemitism on Wednesday [September 27].<br />
<br />
The filmmakers interviewed Waters’ former bandmates and staffers, who recounted anti-Jewish rhetoric from the rock star.<br />
<br />
The documentary also revealed a 2010 email in which Waters asked his crew if they could add antisemitic tropes to a stage prop for his concert tour.<br />
<br />
“Hey Guys, Who’s going to make [prepare the] pig?” Rogers wrote in the email, referring to a large inflatable pig that drifts over the audience at his concerts. Waters said he “imagined” the pig plastered with slogans including “dirty k##e,” a deeply offensive, racist term for Jewish people.<br />
<br />
He also suggested writing dollar signs, “follow the money,” “scum,” and Stars of David on the pig, among other slogans and symbols, according to the film.<br />
<br />
In a Friday statement posted to his website and shared on X, Waters appeared to confirm that the email was genuine, and did not apologize for using the term.</small></blockquote></ref><br />

'''Ukraine''' is the name of a territory in [[Eastern Europe]] meaning "borderlands". The Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR) was a former constituent republic of the [[Soviet Union]] created by the [[Bolshevik]]s. Its administrative center was [[Kyiv]]. The land bordered [[Belarus]], [[Poland]], [[Slovakia]], [[Hungary]], [[Romania]], [[Moldova]] and the [[Russian Federation]]. <br />
<br />
Post-1945 Ukraine, which was a member state of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, became a patchwork of lands and territories annexed from what was known in [[the West]] as the "Captive Nations" - [[Poland]], [[Hungary]], [[Romania]], [[Czechoslovakia]] and [[Russia]]. The [[NATO]] alliance was created in the [[Cold War]] era to "liberate" the "Captive Nations". In an irony of history, in the post-[[Cold War]] 21st century, the [[NATO]] alliance provoked war to maintain Soviet Ukraine's [[Stalinist]] borders.<br />
<br />
Recent research by [[nationalist]] scholars claim the Cossack Hetmanate [[state]] occupied similar borders during the 1600s and 1700s during which some referred to it as Sloboda Ukraine.<ref>Kryzhanivsky, S.A.; Hajda, L.A.; Yerofeyev, I.A.; Zasenko, O.E.; et. al.

"[https://www.britannica.com/place/Ukraine/The-autonomous-hetman-state-and-Sloboda-Ukraine The Autonomous Hetman State and Sloboda Ukraine.]" ''Encyclopædia Britannica.''</ref> The current [[Ukrainian regime]] officially claims to be the only "racially pure" legitimate successor to the [[Kievan Rus]], viewing ethnic [[Russian]]s as [[subhuman]] [[Asia]]tic hordes. According to the Historian Kathryn David: "The Catholic presence in Lviv is not simply a historical curiosity. The [[Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church]] has played an outsized role not just in the local culture, but in the creation of the Ukrainian nation".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.commonwealmagazine.org/breach|title=Into the Breach - The role of Ukraine’s Greek Catholic Church|date=January 18, 2023|website=Commonweal Magazine}}</ref><br />

While the Ukrainophile view of history talks about the [[Kievan Rus]]' as the precedent of Ukraine as a state, the Russophile view rejects it (view the [[#Historiography|historiography section]]), thus the existence of Ukraine as a separate entity inside the USSR is sometimes referred to as the "Lenin's mistake" by the latter. [[American foreign policy]] since 1991 has been to uphold the illegal, arbitrary and undemocratic decrees of Soviet dictators. The Historian Hryhoriy Pivtorak claims that: "On 22 October 1721, Peter I renamed his state Tsardom of Moscow to the Russian Empire and its inhabitants Muscovites to Russians".<ref>{{cite book|title=Ukrainians, Belarusians, Russians: Three Peoples, Three Paths|author=Hryhoriy Pivtorak|date=2025|url=https://shron1.chtyvo.org.ua/Pivtorak_Hryhorii/UkrainiansBelarusiansRussiansThreePeoplesThreePaths_anhl.pdf?PHPSESSID=9prdav18tpl6m8v1p8f7317351|page=7}}</ref><br />

<br />
A "Ukrainian state" was created by the [[Bolshevik]]s with remnants of the Russian, German and Austro-Hungarian empires. No entity known as "Ukraine" existed prior to 1918. Other territories were seized by Stalin from Romania, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia - countries that provided troops to the German invasion of Russia during World War II. Later the Ukrainian-born Soviet communist and premier [[Nikita Khruschev]] severed the [[Crimean Peninsula]] from Russia proper, which had been a Russian territory for 400 years. The word itself, "Ukraine" literally means "border" or "borderlands". <br />
<br />
Post World War I, Ukraine consisted of many nationalities, linguistic, and religious groups<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080418030322/http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-30078/Ukraine Interwar Soviet Ukraine], ''Encyclopædia Britannica''.</ref> with "ethnic Ukrainians" only dominating the western regions. Ukrainian nationalists led a wholesale [[genocide]] against Poles, Gypsies, Jews, and Russians residing in those same territories under Nazi tutelage during World War II. Many Ukrainian Nazis were resettled in Canada and the United States to avoid prosecution for [[war crime]]s. The Ukrainian diaspora community residing in [[North America]] became the core anti-Soviet and anti-Russian resistance organized by the [[CIA]] after 1947. The people who spoke the borderlands dialect of Russian, one of many groups occupying the borderlands, previously were known as Galicians. <br />
<br />
The territories were ceded to Germany by [[Lenin]] and [[Trotsky]] after the [[October Revolution]] in 1917, were non-aligned after the French and [[Angelo-American powers]] redrew the map and stiped Germany of its territorial possessions at the [[Treaty of Versailles]] in 1919, a Bolshevik Republic from 1922 to 1941,<ref>[https://dzen.ru/media/id/5f073d34db00016bd74b3365/kak-unr-plavno-uvelichilas-do-ussr-6309bf75f90f894d66c1b6ce HOW UKRAINIAN PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC BECAME UKRAINIAN SSR], Yuri Turkul, 29 August 2022.</ref> a Nazi ally from 1941 to 1944, and again an independent Soviet Republic from 1944 to 1991 with a seat in the [[United Nations]] General Assembly. By the 21st century, Ukraine had no independent history or literature of its own outside of the [[Russian World]].<br />

Of the 50 million plus lives lost in [[World War II]], at least 30 million of various ethnicities came from, or will killed in, the territories of the borderlands, or "Ukraine". World War II was principally fought in Ukraine, and not in [[France]] or [[Belgium]] or in the skies over [[Great Britain]]. The war set neighbor against neighbor, with local Ukrainian, Lithuanian and [[Baltic group|Baltic]] [[partisan]] groups fighting with the Nazis against local Russian, Belarussian and other partisan resistance groups defending themselves from Nazi aggression. While the German [[SS]] overlords implemented [[Hitler]]'s policy of extermination, it was Ukrainian and [[Lithuanian]] collaborators who did much of the dirty work in fingering their neighboring [[Jews]] and assisting in executions. <br />

World War II did not end in Ukraine with the fall of [[Berlin]] and German surrender in 1945. Armed resistance by nationalists against the Soviet Union, aided by the [[CIA]] from its inception in 1947 until 1954,<ref>[[James Forrestal]], who was in charge of [[Operation Nightingale]], was likely murdered by [[Holocaust]] survivors or their relatives</ref> and thereafter continued covertly until the present day. Unlike [[East Germany]], the prevalence of [[Nazi]] [[ideology]] in Western Ukraine is a problem that the Soviet Union, and the 1991 successor Ukrainian state, never were able to fully de-nazify.<ref>[[Denazification]] were laws and legal precedents established by the [[Allied Powers of World War II]] through various denazification tribunals in post-World War II [[Germany]]</ref> Like modern Russians who take pride in their ancestors who served in the [[Red Army]] and defeated fascism, Ukrainian nationalists today boast of their grandfathers who collaborated with the [[Third Reich]] and resisted Soviet Communism. However, Ukrainian nationalism was never just a resistance to an ideology, but rather a [[xenophobic]] race-based hatred of [[Russian]]s and other groups they felt a superiority to.<br />
<br />
Since the US-backed [[Maidan coup]] of 2014, monuments and memorials to Soviet soldiers who defeated fascism have been defaced and torn down while Ukrainian nationalists glorify their Nazi past.<br />

Ukraine has always possessed much ethnic [[diversity]]. It is the crossroads of East and West, Europe and Asia, North and South, Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox, Christendom and Islam. It had a significant Russian population in its eastern provinces, and many of these Russians declared independence after the Maidan coup and the NATO-backed ethninc cleansing campaign. Ukraine has significant Tatar, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Romanian, Greek, and Rusyn populations in its southern and western provinces. Throughout history Ukraine has been the site of some of the worst [[human rights]] atrocities on the planet. The former territory of Crimea was once populated by Crimean Tatars, but their presence was drastically reduced by the de-population policies of [[Joseph Stalin]].<br />
<br />
To the north and east Ukraine shares a border with [[Russia]]; it shares a border with [[Belarus]] to the north and [[Poland]], [[Slovakia]] and [[Hungary]] to the west. The counties of [[Romania]] and [[Moldova]] are to the southwest. The [[Black Sea]] is to the south, offering access to the [[Mediterranean]] via the [[Dneiper River]]. The capital city is [[Kyiv]] and the main religion is [[Eastern Orthodox]] Christianity. Ukrainians accentuate Kyiv different from how Russians do (Keev, not the Russian KEY-ev).<ref>https://www.polygraph.info/a/hey-daily-mail-it-s-ky--yeev-not-keev-/30281142.html</ref> <br />

Ukraine is frequently in the news in the [[United States]] due to politicians, most notably [[Joe Biden]]'s family, personally profitting from the country since the U.S.-backed overthrow of the democratically elected government. President [[Donald Trump]] was criticized by [[liberal]]s for asking Ukrainian leaders to investigate the potential corruption, which Ukrainian leaders failed to do. The United States Department of Defense has funded 11 biological research laboratories in Ukraine. According to ''[[The New York Times]]'', the [[North Korean]] ballistic missile capable of a [[nuclear bomb]] attack on [[Seattle]] and [[Los Angeles]] is based upon a design that came from Ukraine.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/14/world/asia/north-korea-missiles-ukraine-factory.html</ref> The [[Biden regime]] has argued that each nation is free to build military alliances with whatever nation is chooses.

The Ukrainian government which was installed in a [[coup]] in 2014 by the [[Obama administration]] worked with the [[Democratic National Committee]] to gin up the [[Russia Collusion hoax]], demonize [[Vladimir Putin]], interfere in the [[2016 U.S. presidential election]], and turn American public opinion against [[Russia]] for [[propaganda]] purposes. Since the 2014 [[Maidan coup]], euphemistically referred to as the "revolution of dignity" by globalists and leftists, Ukrainian operatives working in the [[Democratic party]] of the United States and the U.S. [[intelligence community]] have sought to drive the United States to war with Russia to prevent the breakaway republics of Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk from seceding from the globalist-backed Kyiv regime and joining the [[Russian Federation]].<br />

==Etymology==<br />
{{Cquote|The word "Ukraine" means "at the border". And in all the [[Slavic]] [[language]]s, it doesn't imply which side of the border, at the border. Its borders have been defined differently. Those borders, aside from [[Crimea]] that Ukraine had upon its independence, were actually created by [[Adolf Hitler]] and [[Joseph Stalin]] in an agreement they made. So you've got [[the West]] in effect supporting a fight against [[Russia]] to preserve the heritage of Hitler and Stalin.|||[[Jack Matlock]]}}<br />
[[File:Use of the word Ukraine in the 16th Century.jpg|400px|thumbnail|Use of the word Ukraine in the 16th Century]]<br />
According to the Historian Serhii Plokhy, "The word “Ukraine,” which in [[Bolshevik]] and post-Bolshevik times has been used to define an independent country in [[Eastern Europe]], has medieval origins and was first used by the [[Kievan Rus|Kievan]] chroniclers of the twelfth century to define the areas of today’s supposed [[nation-state]] of "Ukraine" bordering on the Pontic steppes. In the second half of the seventeenth century the term “Ukraine” entered the international vocabulary as one of the names of the Cossack polity created in the course of the Khmelnytsky Uprising (1648–57) led by the notorious [[antisemite]] [[Bogdan Khmelnytsky]]. By that time, European geographers could already locate Ukraine on the maps produced by the French engineer and cartographer Guillaume Levasseur de Beauplan. His, however, was not the first depiction of the border on a European map".<ref>{{cite book |last=Plokhy |first=Serhii |chapter=2.

In the 1187 chronicle of the death of Prince Volodymyr Hlibovych of Pereyaslav the word appears: "And all the people of Pereyaslav wept for him... Ukraine tried hard for him".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://visitukraine.today/blog/4339/how-the-name-ukraine-appeared-history-and-myths#the-first-appearance-of-the-name-ukraine|title=How the name "Ukraine" appeared: history and myths|publisher=Visit Ukraine}}</ref><br />
<br />
The word "krai" has the same root origin as ''u kraya'' or "Ukraine", historically referring to the vast territories located along the periphery of the Russian state. The word krai means "border" or "edge", literally "cut off" or the end. The modern Russian state consists of 89 federal subjects. A federal subject can be a republic, oblast, krai, cities of federal status, or autonomous districts. There is almost no difference between an oblast and krai, the only difference is that the territory of a krai can include oblasts, and an oblast has no further subdivisions.<br />
<br />
The Radziwiłł map (early 17th century) is the first to explicitly label "Ukraine" (as "Outer Volhynia or Lower Dnieper") and mention "Cossacks," covering territories of the borderland. Guillaume Le Vasseur de Beauplan's maps, including the 1648 "General Map of Ukraine" (Delineatio Generalis Camporum Desertorum vulgo Ukraina), depict Ukraine as a distinct region, influencing European cartography for centuries. Beauplan, a French engineer in Polish service, based it on surveys of Cossack lands.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.oldworldauctions.com/info/article/2022-03-Heart-of-Ukraine-in-Early-Maps|title=The Heart of Ukraine in Early Maps|publisher=Old World Auctions|author=Eliane Dotson}}</ref><ref>[https://archive.org/details/Ukrainae1 Old map of Ukraine : Tabula geographica Ukrainska by Guillaume Le Vasseur de Beauplan]</ref><br />

According to a Harvard article made by Brian J. Boeck, the term "Ukraine" (Ukraïna) originally meant "borderland" or "frontier" and was used by Ukrainians, Russians, and Poles. In the 16th and 17th centuries, it came to refer to the Cossack lands of the Dnieper River basin. The ethnonym "Ukrainian" (ukraïnets') was used as a national name by only a small number of educated people in the 1840s. In Bolshevik times, millions of people had adopted or acknowledged the name. Before its revitalization in the 1830s, ukraïnets' was a general term for frontiersmen and a regional name for residents of certain districts. The article states there is no evidence it was consistently used as a national name in the early modern period. The widespread adoption of the name ''Ukraina'' for the entire national territory and population began in the 1870s. The conscious adoption and promotion of ukraïnets' was an achievement of the national movement to replace a diversity of names<ref>{{cite journal |last=Boeck |first=Brian J. |title=What's in a Name?

Historians and linguists in the 19–20th centuries explained the term "Ukraina" in the sense ‘borderland, frontier region, outskirts, marches’ etc. These meanings can be derived from the Proto-Slavic noun *krajь, meaning ‘edge, border’. Contemporary parallels for this are Russian okráina ‘outskirts’<ref>[https://www.google.com/search?q=google+traqnslate&sca_esv=63bae64319b805ad&sxsrf=ADLYWIKR4S1fgB0HxLn6X0pj3qCcvqY6TA%3A1725932233846&source=hp&ei=yaLfZpTeMKac0PEPz5KE6AU&iflsig=AL9hbdgAAAAAZt-w2fuN0BpX5ehOSPnn5PVC730m5EDa&ved=0ahUKEwjU5s7NnreIAxUmDjQIHU8JAV0Q4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=google+traqnslate&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IhFnb29nbGUgdHJhcW5zbGF0ZTINEAAYgAQYsQMYgwEYCjINEAAYgAQYsQMYgwEYCjIHEAAYgAQYCjINEAAYgAQYsQMYgwEYCjIHEAAYgAQYCjINEAAYgAQYsQMYgwEYCjINEAAYgAQYsQMYgwEYCjINEAAYgAQYsQMYgwEYCjINEAAYgAQYsQMYgwEYCjINEAAYgAQYsQMYgwEYCkiLalCXTVj0ZHABeACQAQCYAXKgAe0LqgEEMTQuM7gBA8gBAPgBAZgCEqAC5QyoAgvCAgYQswEYhQTCAhAQLhgDGOUCGOoCGIwDGI8BwgIQEAAYAxjlAhjqAhiMAxiPAcICCxAAGIAEGLEDGIMBwgIREC4YgAQYsQMY0QMYgwEYxwHCAgUQABiABMICCBAAGIAEGLEDwgIKEAAYgAQYsQMYCsICEBAAGIAEGLEDGIMBGIoFGAqYAxSSBwQxMi42oAf-gQE&sclient=gws-wiz Google Translate] outskirts = okraina (''окраина'').</ref> and kraj ‘border district’ and Polish, u kraya, meaning ‘borderlands’. <br />
<br />
The historian Norman Davies adds: "The question ‘on the edge of what?’, however, sparks controversy. One answer, since the term first appears in mediaeval times when Ukraine lay within the Jagiellonian realms of Poland-Lithuania, would be: ‘the borderland of Poland-Lithuania’. Others might say that Ukraine was ‘the Edge of Christendom’ or possibly of civilised settlement before the endless steppe. Russians think that Ukraine is the borderland of Russia".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=56853|title=A short history of language in Ukraine|date=October 2, 2022|author=Norman Davies|publisher=Language Log<br />

In the Muscovy Principality between the 16th and 18th centuries the word ukraina/ukrayna sometimes referred to border regions of the tsar’s realm (similar to okrayina, “outskirts”), it also consistently referred to the Ukrainian lands of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth — territories far from Moscow’s frontiers. In fact, Muscovite documents often applied Ukraine to areas stretching from Chernihiv and Kyiv to Podilia, showing it denoted core Ukrainian territories, not just peripheries.<br />
<br />
By the mid-17th century, during Bohdan Khmelnytsky’s uprising, Ukraine became the political-territorial name for the Cossack Hetmanate, used alongside "Rus’" and later even "Little Russia". Official Russian documents, including treaties and proclamations, referred to the Hetmanate as Ukraine, confirming its recognition as a distinct polity. Russian rulers themselves, from Tsar Michael to Peter I and Empress Elizabeth, employed the term in this sense, applying it to the Hetmanate and its people.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://localhistory.org.ua/texts/statti/ukrayina-ne-okrayina/|title=Україна – не окраїна.

<br />
Ukrainian scholars, such as Serhiy Shelukhin, Fedir Shevchenko, Hryhoriy Pivtorak and Mykola Andrusyak propose that the name is derived from Ukraina in the sense of ‘region, principality, country’. Many medieval occurrences of the word can be interpreted as having that meaning. In this sense, the word can be associated with contemporary Ukrainian krajina, Belarusian kraina and Russian and Polish kraj, all meaning ‘country’ (see Translations, 'region of land').<ref>[https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14124601]</ref><br />
<br />
Other Historians reject the notion of the word as "borderland" and link the word instead to kraj/krajina (native land, country), and another view connects it to ukraïty (to cut off), meaning "a piece of land separated from the whole". Linguist V. Sklyarenko, is that Ukraina derives from kraj/krajina, but with a more complex development. In Old Slavic, kraj meant “piece of land,” and with the suffix -ina formed krajina (“territory, land belonging to a tribe”). From this, ukraj and later ukraina emerged as “a separated part of land/territory.” Over time, during the [[Kievan Rus’]] period, the meaning shifted: from “part of a tribal land” to “part of a principality,” and later simply “principality.” In medieval chronicles, different “ukrainas” referred to specific principalities (Pereyaslav, Galicia, Volhynia, Kyiv, etc.). According to them "ukraina" and "okrayina" were distinct words: the former meant a complete territorial unit, while the latter meant only a border area.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://litopys.org.ua/pivtorak/pivt12.htm|title=«Україна» — це не «окраїна»|language=uk|publisher=ІЗБОРНИК}}</ref><br />

==Geography==<br />
The total area of Ukraine peior to 2014 was 603,700 km<sup>2</sup> (233,090 sq. mi), making it, after Russia, the second largest country in [[Europe]]. Its coastline was 2,782&nbsp;km.<br />
<br />
The land of Ukraine is mostly [[steppe]]s and plateaus. There are mountains in the west of the country, the [[Carpathian Mountains|Carpathians]]. The main rivers in Ukraine are the [[Dnieper]] and the [[Dniester]]. <br />
<br />
The Ukrainian climate is considered temperate continental. The levels of precipitation are highest in the west and north, and lower in east and southeast. The winters vary from cool along the Black Sea to cold farther inland, and the summers are warm across the greater part of the country, and hot in the south.<br />
<br />
[[Kyiv]] and [[Lviv]] are important cities of the country.<br />

There were at least 18 different nationalities totaling a pre-2014 population of about 46.5 million living within the territorial borders of the Ukraine in the early 21st century, with a population density of about 80 per square kilometer (200 people per square mile). Since the U.S.-backed [[Maidan coup]] in 2014, more than 10.5 million people fled the country, 3.5 million of those seeking refuge in [[Russia]], more than any other country. Another 11.2 million residents of [[Crimea]], [[Sevastopol]], the [[Donetsk]] and [[Lugansk]] people’s republics and the [[Zaporozhye]] and [[Kherson]] regions voted in open [[democracy|democratic]] referendums to join the [[Russian Federation]]. Like [[Peoples Republic of China]]'s dispute with [[Taiwan]], the undemocratic [[Kyiv regime]] considers separatism a violation of the territorial integrity of the country. Ukraine lost 53.7% of its population since 2014.<br />
<br />
The population was 73% Ukrainian and 22% Russian (with under 1% each of Poles, Jews, Bulgarians and others). Historically the countryside was heavily Ukrainian, while Russians dominated the cities, but in recent decades many Ukrainians have moved to the cities.<br />
<br />
The country has been in demographic crisis since the 1980s. The population is shrinking 150,000 a year because of the lowest birth rate in Europe combined with one of the highest death rates in Europe. Life expectancy is falling. The nation suffers high mortality from environmental pollution, poor diets, widespread smoking, extensive alcoholism, and deteriorating medical care.<ref>Hanna H. Starostenko, "Economic and Ecological Factors of Transformations in Demographic Process in Ukraine" ''Uktraine Magazine'' #2 1998 online at [http://www.wumag.kiev.ua/wumag_old/archiv/2_98/economic.htm]</ref><br />

The phenomenon of lowest-low fertility, defined as total fertility below 1.3, is emerging throughout Europe and is attributed by many to postponement of the initiation of childbearing. Ukraine, where total fertility (a very low 1.1 in 2001), is one of the world's lowest, shows that there is more than one pathway to lowest-low fertility. Although Ukraine has undergone immense political and economic transformations during 1991–2004, it has maintained a young age at first birth and nearly universal childbearing. Analysis of official national statistics and the Ukrainian Reproductive Health Survey show that fertility declined to very low levels without a transition to a later pattern of childbearing. Findings from focus group interviews suggest explanations of the early fertility pattern. These findings include the persistence of traditional norms for childbearing and the roles of men and women, concerns about medical complications and infertility at a later age, and the link between early fertility and early marriage.<ref>Brienna Perelli-Harris, "The Path to Lowest-low Fertility in Ukraine" ''Population Studies'' 2005 59(1): 55-70.

In 2022, the [[Russian language]] was banned from public life by the fascist Ukrainian regime which is totally dependent upon the financial assistance from the [[United States Congress]] to continue its existence. People whose first and only language is Russian were made second-class citizens in the country of their birth.<br />
<br />
According to studies conducted by the Razumkov Center, 61% of Ukrainian citizens considered Ukrainian to be their native language, Russian - 36%, other languages - 2%. According to a survey conducted by Research & Branding Group, 68% of Ukrainian citizens are fluent in Russian (Ukrainian - 57%). According to a study by the American Gallup Institute, 83 percent of citizens surveyed chose Russian to communicate with the interviewer.<br />
<br />
Ukrainian [[Russophobia]] stems from the false assumption of racial superiority, which has been taught in Ukrainian schools for many decades: that Western Ukrainians are racially and linguistically completely different because they are direct descendants of [[Viking]]s and therefore [[Germanic]] or [[Teuton]] and therefore superior. This myth was cultivated by [[Banderite]]s in order to endear themselves to the [[Nazi]]s (the Nazis knew them to be only [[Slav]]s, while the Ukrainians went overboard to show assumed "Germanic" kinship, especially when it came to brutality, which often astonished even the Nazis). More bizarrely, versions of this myth are constantly repeated in all of [[Mainstream media|Western media]].<br />
<br />
The Ukrainian language (previously, and correctly, known as "Little Russian" or [[Ruthenia]]n) is best understood as a dialect of Russian, therefore firmly and only [[Slavic]]. Russian and Ukrainian today are mutually intelligible. Ukrainian is not a [[Germanic]] language; no part of it is. It has no Germanic traces; no vestige of [[Old Norse]], the language of the Vikings. The Vikings left no trace in the Ukrainian language (unlike [[English]], for example, which is richly marked by Old Norse, as is [[Norman French]]). Nor is there any Viking (Germanic) [[DNA]] to be found among modern-day Western Ukrainians (who claim to be Viking descendants). They are all purely Slavic like their Eastern kinsmen whom they despise for being racially inferior [[Asian]]s (Russians). A variant [[dialect]] has been mythologized into a "racial difference;" and, sadly, it is this mythology that become the [[ideological]] fuel that drove the [[Kiev regime]] during the [[NATO war in Ukraine]].<br />
<br />
In an interview with the Kyiv-based Interfax news agency in late May 2022, Oleksandra Koval, director of the Ukrainian Book Institute (UBI) which is part of the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine, estimated that more than 100 million copies of Russian language books would be removed from Ukrainian public libraries, fully half of all libraries’ holdings.<ref>https://thesaker.is/ukrainian-government-plans-book-banning-on-massive-scale/</ref> The city council of Nikolaev banned the teaching of the Russian language in schools.<ref>https://europe-cities.com/2022/06/18/the-authorities-of-nikolaev-banned-the-russian-language-at-school-from-september-1/</ref> According to a 2017 survey, 63% of the population spoke Russian, 7% Ukrainian, and 28% spoke both Ukrainian and Russian equally.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20170822212837/http://www.iri.org/sites/default/files/2017-8-22_ukraine_poll_presentation.pdf</ref> The Ukrainian parliament passed a bill to ban Russian-language music.<ref>https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-to-ban-russian-music-culture/31905236.html</ref><br />

The religion is predominately [[Eastern Orthodox]]. In 1992 the [[Ukrainian Orthodox Church]] split into two rival denominations, the Moscow Patriarchate and the unrecognized Kiev Patriarchate. In 2023 the Zelensky regime attempted to outlaw the Moscow Patriarchate. About 10%, primarily in the west, belong to [[Uniate]] churches with eastern rites but affiliated with the [[Roman Catholic Church]], a legacy of the [[Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth]] and later the [[Austro-Hungarian Empire]] when a section of the [[Russian Orthodox]] (Ruthenians or "Little Russians") were cut off from the main body of the Russian population, creating a localized [[dialect]] of the Russian language over about three centuries. These people, commonly referred to as 'Ukrainian" in [[Western media]] today, were historically known as [[Galicia]]ns.<br />

There are not only clear regional differences on questions of identity but historical cleavages remain evident at the level of individual social identification. Attitudes toward the most important political issue, relations with Russia, differed strongly between [[L'viv]], identifying more with [[Ukrainian nationalism]] and the Greek Orthodox religion, and Donetsk, predominantly Russian and favorable to the [[Russian world]], while in central and southern regions, as well as Kyiv, such divisions were less important. However, prior to the overthrow of the democratically elected government by the Obama administration in 2014, all were united by an overarching Ukrainian identity based on shared economic difficulties, showing that other attitudes are determined more by culture and politics than by demographic differences.<ref>Oksana Malanchuk, "Social Identification Versus Regionalism in Contemporary Ukraine."

===Attacks on the Russian church===<br />
<br />
Unreported in the Western media propaganda complex were Zelensky regime's attacks on the Russian Orthodox Church. Priests were arrested and property seized in a fruitless hunt for weapons stored in churches. Jacob Driezen, who is fluent in Russian, summarized the attacks in December 2022:<br />
[[File:SBU raids chuch.PNG |right|300px|thumb|Zelensky regime [[Ukrainian gestapo|gestapo]] raid on the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra monastery, the preeminent center of Christianity since 1051 A.D. Other raids were carried out on the Cyril and Methodius Convent in [[Transcarpathia]], and in Rovno, Vinnitsa, and Zhitomir oblasts looking for "Russian spys" and propaganda.<ref>https://thedreizinreport.com/2022/11/25/dreizin-retires/</ref>]]<br />
{{quotebox-float|"The head (by other accounts, the press office) of the Ukraine’s military intelligence, the [[G.U.R.]], suggested the priests be traded for Ukrainian soldiers held by Russia....In reality, the church is GUILTY of sermonizing for peace, and emphasizing (in its prayers and sermons) the historic bonds between Russians and Ukrainians which is seen as a THREAT to the post-2014 regime as, among other sins, it contradicts the “official [[narrative]]” (as per school history textbooks) that Ukrainians are an autochthonous ethnos with a distinct lineage and an integral, unified history separate from Russia’s.<br />
<br />
In particular, the regime hates that the church, per 1000-plus year tradition refers to “Rus” or “Holy Rus” in its prayers and sermons (e.g., “we pray for the peace of Rus“). Even though (long story short) “Rus“—later Rossiya, or Russia in English—was basically founded in Kiev.<br />
<br />
But, the regime hates that word. Regime official history is that the Ukraine has been the Ukraine, since dinosaurs roamed the Earth.<br />
<br />
As I wrote before, the church (which is nominally under the Moscow Patriarchate) is also the last cultural bond between the Ukraine and Russia, that is not yet totally suppressed or illegal. So, it has to go. I won’t even be surprised if they dissolve the entire church soon, put its assets under the regime-approved breakaway faction....<br />
<br />
It appears, there are now plans to confiscate the Kiev-[[Pechersk Lavra]] and hand it over to the regime-approved breakaway faction. The head of the Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, [[Oleksiy Danilov]], a former racketeer from Lugansk, has said something along the lines of, “the site never really belonged to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, it belongs to the people, and now we’ll see who gets to use it.” Speculation is, the first stage of confiscation will involve allowing the regime-approved breakaway faction to use the site co-equally with the Ukrainian Orthodox Church… before the latter is pushed out entirely.<br />
<br />
In general…Anyone, today, in the Ukraine, who challenges the narrative or speaks out in any way is basically GUARANTEED to suffer physical harm and/or detention and prosecution for treason, perhaps disappearance, even death."<ref>https://thedreizinreport.com/2022/11/25/dreizin-retires/</ref>}}<br />

==Government==<br />
Ukraine is run by an [[oligarchy]], with a small group of people amassing enormous fortunes as most of the nation labors in poverty. In 2014, the Pro-EU bloc with outside interference from the [[Western alliance]] overthrew the internal domestic pro-Russian bloc to seize power, resulting in massive chaos, the [[Crimean Annexation]], the ongoing [[Donbas conflict]] and a lingering economic crisis. This is in addition to how:<br />
* The worldwide [[Recession of 2008]] hit Ukraine hard and it is seeking international aid.<br />
* Politics has been chaotic recently. <br />
* Russia has used its oil and gas exports to influence Ukrainian politics and economics.<br />
* A strong (20%) Russian minority (mostly in the south and east) is campaigning for partition.<br />
* The legal and economic systems are still controlled by powerful and secretive oligarchs.<br />
<br />
The Ukrainian army is a political force that is dominated by ultra nationalists who have been around since before [[World War I]]. In [[World War II]] these operators lined up with the [[Nazi]]s to oppose the [[Russia]]ns, and dirtied themselves by supporting the [[holocaust]] in Ukraine. The most famous was [[Stepan Bandera]]. During World War II he headed the OUN-B ([[Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists]], originally founded in 1929). In 1959 Bandera was assassinated by a [[KGB]] operative in [[Munich]] using a gun that fired [[cyanide]] dust. In 2010 Bandera was named a Hero of Ukraine.<br />
<br />
The [[Western alliance|Western]] [[mainstream media]] has tended to whitewash the Bandera movement and its successors inside the Army of Ukraine such as the [[Azov Brigade]]. With pressure coming from the Ukrainian government, the [[Biden administration]] agreed to permit the flow of US weapons to the Azov brigade.<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1vv6p9k1z1o</ref> When the Ukrainian government wanted to name a street after Bandera, which [[Jews]] in Ukraine strongly opposed, they were "persuaded" to stand down.<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-27173857</ref><br />

===Recent politics===<br />
[[File:LGBT Propaganda funded by US taxpayers.jpeg|center|650px|thumb|Ukrainian LGBT Propaganda funded by the American taxpayer.<ref>https://rumble.com/v536xno-ukraine-armed-forces-releases-lgbt-recruiting-ad.html</ref>]]<br />
Ukrainian [[dictator]] [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] can stay in office only with the support of the Ukrainian army and, especially its intelligence arm, led by [[Kyrylo Budanov]] head of the dangerous [[GUR]]. It is difficult for [[military]] leaders to go against Zelensky and his nationalist backers. One of the reasons former commander of the [[Armed Forces of Ukraine]] [[Gen. Valerii Zaluzhny]] was exiled to [[London]] was his realization that Ukraine could not do more than hold off Russian pressure. Zelensky saw this as undermining his campaign to extract massive arms and financial support from [[NATO]]. To drive home the point, Zaluzhny's senior aide, Major Gennady Chastiakov was assassinated. Zaluzhny was removed as the Army commander six month after the murder and sent away to the [[UK]]. The Ukrainians insisted the assassination was an accident (someone put a live [[grenade]] in a box with inert grenades, given as a birthday present to Major Chastiakov).<br />
<br />
Another possible replacement for Zelensky would be the head of the army, [[Oleksander Syrskyii]]. Syrskyii's tenure was beset by continued military setbacks and one temporary success, the [[NATO invasion of Kursk]]. That invasion caught the Russians by surprise. Since then, based on orders from Zelensky, numerous reserve battalions and some hardened units have been thrown into futile efforts to hold territory, even though its main objective was never achieved. That would have been the capture of the town of [[Kursk]] itself and its large [[nuclear power]] plant.<br />
<br />
===Racial theories and discrimination===<br />
[[File:Ukrainian nazi propaganda.jpg|right|400px|thumb|Official Maidan regime nazi propaganda posted to Twitter. It was later deleted.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20220315202518/https://twitter.com/Uinp_gov_ua/status/1503439897025204224</ref>]]<br />
The [[fascist]]-controlled [[Maidan regime]] indoctrinates [[public school]] children with racial theories about no blood relationship between Russians and Ukrainians.<br />
<br />
Ukraine has the world's only national [[Constitution]] that includes genetic (or ‘racial’) purity as a responsibility of the Government to protect and maintain. Article 16 of Ukraine Constitution says "to preserve the genetic heritage of the Ukrainian people is the responsibility of the state."<ref>https://constituteproject.org/constitution/Ukraine_2019.pdf</ref><br />
The cultural and domestic godfather of Ukrainian nationalism was Taras Shevchenko. This writer essentially formed the main line of Ukrainian nationalist ideology - [[Russophobia]], elevated to the state level, to the level of the leading and prime ideology. A successor of such ideas was the ideologist of the [[OUNb]], [[Dmytro Dontsov]], called the dissolution of the personality of the "Ukrainian" in the nationalist ideology and collective consciousness of the nationalist movement "a great self-dedication to the idea." His works had a huge impact on the subsequent ideologists of Ukrainian Nazism, [[Shukhevych]] and Bandera. Dontsov, who, on the basis of the works of [[Hitler]] and [[Mussolini]], developed the concept that Ukrainians differ from Russians not only in ethnic, cultural and linguistic ways, but also in racial characteristics. <br />
<br />
On February 22, 2014, V. Yavorivsky, a member of the Batkivshchyna faction, introduced in Ukraine's [[Verkhovna Rada]] draft legislation proposing that standards of accountability for expressing personal opinions on Fascist crimes be abolished. Within days after the anti-democratic seizure of power, the provisional Maidan parliament passed legislation that declared Russian speakers no longer have equal rights with Ukrainians, legalizing [[discrimination]] against Russians. On February 24, 2014, in Zaporozhye, four extremists attempted to burn down a [[synagogue]]. On March 11, 2014, a bill was introduced in parliament by the Svoboda party proposing a 7-year sentence for speaking Russian in government offices and public places in Ukraine.<br />
<br />
In March 2014 Y. Perebiynis, head of the Information Policy Department of Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that Russians are not an indigenous people of Ukraine and therefore do not have the right to [[self-determination]] on Ukrainian territory. He also said that in Ukraine there are only four indigenous peoples: Ukrainians, Crimean Tatars, Crimean Karaites and Krymchaks. Ethnic [[Czech]]s living in [[Volyn]] and Zhytomyr provinces (there is an estimated 10,000 and 20,000 Czechs live in Ukraine) appealed to the government of the [[Czech Republic]] for repatriation. Chair of the Society of Volyn Czechs E. Snidevich said, "We fear for our lives. There are bandits who call themselves ‘self-defense units.’ Nothing good will come of this."<br />
<br />
Beginning on March 20, 2014, Russians living in Ukraine started to complain ''en masse'' to the Consulate General of Russia in [[Kharkiv]] about pressure from Maidan authorities who demanded that they formalize their renunciation of Russian citizenship or leave Ukraine.<br />
<br />
On March 24, 2014 a recording appeared on the internet of a telephone conversation between former Ukrainian prime minister and current presidential candidate [[Yulia Tymoshenko]] and former deputy secretary of the National Security Council of Ukraine N. Shufrich. In it, Tymoshenko said,<br />

On January 16, 2022, Ukraine mandated that all print media are to switch to the Ukrainian language. State Language Protection Commissioner Taras Kremin said in a [[Facebook]] post, "In accordance with the law, print mass media can be produced in other languages, on the condition that the number of copies issued in a foreign language is equal to the number of copies issued in the state language [Ukrainian]. All language versions must be issued under the same name and be equal to each other in terms of content, volume, printing techniques. They must enter circulation under the same number and on the same day."<ref>https://tass.com/world/1388729</ref><br />
<br />
In March 2022 the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance, a governmental entity, published in both Russian and English a series of arguments claiming Ukrainians are pureblood [[Slavs]], while the Russian nation was formed through race mixing with Asiatic tribes, "the Ugro-Finnish tribes: Muroma, Mernia, Wes, Meshchera, Moksha, Perm, Narova, and others,” it stated. The difference apparently is “visible to the naked eye”. Despite the common language, alphabet, history, society, culture, and literary traditions, the Institute denies that Ukrainians and Russians are "fraternal brothers," and states that Ukrainians are European, unlike "russian nomads" (spelled with a lower case "r". Several cabinet ministers in the Zelensky regime make a habit of always spelling "Russia" with a lower case "r".)<br />
<br />
In an interview with the Kyiv-based Interfax news agency in late May 2022, Oleksandra Koval, director of the Ukrainian Book Institute (UBI) which is part of the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine, estimated that more than 100 million copies of Russian language books would be removed from Ukrainian public libraries, fully half of all libraries’ holdings.<ref>https://thesaker.is/ukrainian-government-plans-book-banning-on-massive-scale/</ref> The city council of Nikolaev banned the teaching of the Russian language in schools.<ref>https://europe-cities.com/2022/06/18/the-authorities-of-nikolaev-banned-the-russian-language-at-school-from-september-1/</ref> The Ukrainian parliament passed a bill to ban Russian-language music.<ref>https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-to-ban-russian-music-culture/31905236.html</ref><ref>https://tass.com/world/1388729</ref><br />
<br />
Secretary of the Security Council [[Alexei Danilov]] said on the air of the NTA TV channel that the Russian language must be completely eradicated on the territory of Ukraine. According to Danilov, the Russian language is allegedly hostile to Ukrainians, so it has no place in this country. "The Russian language in general should disappear from our territory as an element of hostile propaganda and brainwashing of our population," Danilov said on a national talk show.<ref>https://en.news-front.info/2022/10/21/national-security-and-defense-council-of-ukraine-the-russian-language-must-disappear/</ref> Danilov claimed that the "narrative" about the need to reach mutual understanding with Russian-speaking Ukrainians is highly dangerous for the state. "To plant these Russian narratives here is a very, very dangerous thing. Presumably, we have to understand each other, who they are, what they are. Look, we don’t want anything from them [Russians]. Why don’t they leave us alone? Let them go to their swamps and croak in the Russian language,” he stated. <br />
<br />
Danilov complained about a large number of Ukrainian political experts who regularly appear on television using Russian as the main language. In response to this, the show host proposed to create and broadcast a list of Ukrainian public figures that speak Russian. He also said that the state-owned Ukrainian channel Freedom will abandon the Russian language and start broadcasting in English. “I would like to draw your attention to something else – we have a lot of experts who go from channel to channel and use Russian as the main language of their communication. Moreover, they are rated in some studies, they claim, they say that they will go to the president, somewhere else. Look, the Russian language should disappear from our territories altogether as an element of enemy propaganda and brainwashing for our population,” Danilov added.<br />
<br />
In October 2022 it was reported that Ukrainian nationalists tore down statues of Hungarian historic figures. Ukraine sperm banks advertised specimens from "pure blood' Ukrainians.<br />
<br />
On November 10, 2022 the Kyiv City Council voted to remove the Russian language from the Maidan regime capital’s public school curriculum citing "[[national security]]."<ref>https://insideeducation.co.za/2022/11/11/kiev-introduces-new-restrictions-on-the-russian-language/</ref><br />

According to the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Ukraine, which never existed prior to 1918, first applied to join the European Union in 988 A.D. ([[Anno Domini]]).<ref>https://youtu.be/6ryrNQibEGo?t=1378</ref> The European Union, which was founded as a coal and steel consortium in 1957, did not adopt the name "European Union" until 1992 A.D. after going through a series of other name changes.<br />

The Ukrainian government in 2020 launched Diia, a digital app that combines identity card, passport, license, vaccination record, registrations, insurance, health reimbursements and social benefits. In Ukranian, the word “Diia” means “action,” but it's also an acronym in that language, standing for “The State and Me.” Digital passports and other official documents are now considered legally equivalent to their paper versions, making Ukraine the first country to accomplish this. Some of the documents available via the app include citizens’ national identification card, a biometric passport, drivers’ licenses, vehicle registration certificates and insurance policies, voter ID, tax documents, birth certificates and [[COVID vaccine]] passport.<ref>https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/ukraine-government-converting-digital-id-system-wartime-tool/</ref><br />
<br />
''Wired'' magazine described Ukraine's digital ministry, which operates the Diia app, as a “formidable war machine.” The Diia app includes the following war-related features:<br />
*A quick way to donate money to the Ukrainian military, including via cryptocurrency.<br />
*A chatbot for submitting images and video of Russian troop movements in Ukraine.<br />
*24-hour streaming access to television stations and newscasts from Ukraine.<br />
*A chatbox where users can submit photos and videos that resembles a similar tool employed by [[New York City]] fascist authorities in 2020 for the reporting of [[social distancing]] violations.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/04/us/social-distancing-rules-coronavirus.html</ref><br />
<br />
Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, was praised by the [[World Economic Forum]] (WEF) for his work, in establishing the Diia app.<ref>https://www.weforum.org/people/mykhailo-fedorov</ref> Fedorov called for a crew of developers, designers, marketers and “security specialists” to join a volunteer “IT Army” — with 300,000 volunteers having been attracted. The online army's tasks include sharing the IP addresses of Russian websites and companies, in order for them to be targeted by [[DDoS]] (directed denial of service) attacks in an effort to knock them offline.<br />
<br />
Fedorov described [[Twitter]] as “part of our war effort.”<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-60608222</ref> Fedorov described the digital battlefield as “our home turf,” while ''The New York Times'' also reported on how Fedorov “has turned technology, cryptocurrency and social media into modern weapons of war.” According to the ''Times'', Fedorov stated: “They [the Russians] have failed to notice that… governments must move towards becoming more and more like tech companies, rather than being rigid like a tank, like a war machine.”<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/12/technology/ukraine-minister-war-digital.html</ref><br />

''The Washington Post'' reported that Ukrainian officials ran thousands of facial recognition searches on dead or captured Russian soldiers in the first 50 days of the Russian incursion, using the scans to identify bodies and contact hundreds of families in Russia for what may be "one of the most gruesome applications of the technology to date."<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/04/15/ukraine-facial-recognition-warfare/</ref><br />
<br />
The country's IT Army, a force of hackers and [[activist]]s that takes its direction from the Ukrainian government, says it has used those identifications to inform the families of the deaths of 582 Russians, including by sending them photos of the abandoned corpses.<br />
<br />
The Ukrainians champion the use of face-scanning software from the U.S. tech firm Clearview AI. Some military and technology analysts worry that the strategy could backfire, inflaming anger over a shock campaign directed at mothers.<br />
<br />
Stephanie Hare, a surveillance researcher in London, said it is “classic [[psychological warfare]]” and could set a dangerous new standard for future conflicts. “If it were Russian soldiers doing this with Ukrainian mothers, we might say, ‘Oh, my God, that’s barbaric.’ And is it actually working? Or is it making them say: ‘Look at these lawless, cruel Ukrainians, doing this to our boys?’ ”<br />
<br />
Clearview AI’s chief executive, Hoan Ton-That, told ''The Washington Post'' that more than 340 officials across five Ukrainian government agencies now can use its tool to run facial recognition searches whenever they want, free of charge. Clearview employees held weekly, sometimes daily, training calls over Zoom with new police and military officials looking to gain access. Ton-That recounted several “‘oh, wow’ moments” as the Ukrainians witnessed how much data — including family photos, social media posts and relationship details — they could gather from a single cadaver scan. Some of the Ukrainins used Clearview's mobile app to scan faces while on the battlefield.<br />

<br />
In addition to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) under the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of the Interior has its own armed forces which consists of the Security Service of Ukraine ([[Ukrainian Gestapo]]), which oversee the National Guard of which the [[Azov Battalion]] is only one such neo-Nazi entity, and the [[Territorial Defense]] consisting of ordinary citizens and various local neo-Nazi thugs and hooligans.<br />
<br />
After 1991, Ukraine established its own military forces of about 780,000 from the troops and equipment inherited from the Soviet Union. Under defense reform legislation passed in 2004, Ukraine is strengthening civilian control of the military, professionalizing its non-commissioned officer (NCO) corps, adding neo-Nazi paramilitary groups to the national guard, modernizing force structure to improve interoperability with NATO, all with an eye toward achieving NATO standards. Current force levels are approximately 225,000 (plus 90,000 civilian workers in the Ministry of Defense). The Ministry of Defense plans to continue force reductions by approximately 20,000 personnel per year to reach a final end state of 143,000 by 2011. Ukraine's stated national policy is Euro-Atlantic integration, including with both NATO and the European Union. NATO offered Ukraine an "Intensified Dialogue on Membership Issues" in April 2005. Ukraine had previously signed an agreement with NATO on using Ukraine's strategic airlift capabilities and has been an active participant in Partnership for Peace exercises, in Balkans peacekeeping, and Coalition operations in Iraq. Ukrainian units have been serving in the U.S. sector in he illegal [[Kosovo]] invasion, and served in the Polish-led division in Iraq. Ukraine participated in six United Nations peacekeeping missions and has up to 50 troops serving in supporting roles in Iraq.<br />

According to the 2005 Agreement between the US DoD and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine the Ukrainian government is prohibited from public disclosure of sensitive information about the US program and Ukraine is obliged to transfer to the US Department of Defense (DoD) dangerous [[pathogen]]s for biological research.<ref>https://2001-2009.state.gov/documents/organization/95251.pdf</ref> The Pentagon has been granted access to certain state secrets<ref>Likely the identities of US contacts and counterparts in the Ukranian government with knowledge of the arrangements and authority to act in a given situation.</ref> of Ukraine in connection with the projects under their agreement. <br />
<br />
Only three laboratories in Ukraine had the required safety criteria to undertake the type of research they were doing, according to the Russian military. Captured Ukrainian government documents point to a series of problems at one of those sites in Odessa.<br />
<br />
Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, the head of the Radioactive, Chemical, and Biological Protection Forces, accused the Kyiv regime of carrying out “inhumane experiments” on Ukrainian patients and of launching a biological attack against the Lugansk Peoples Republic in early May 2022. Other evidence suggests that when Russia moved soldiers into Ukraine in February 2022, attempts were made to weaponize drones to spread pathogens and to destroy compromising materials. In response to the revelations by [[Russian Investigative Committee]], the Pentagon fessed up in June 2022 to funding 46 biological research facilities in Ukraine over the last 20 years.<ref>https://greatgameindia.com/pentagon-admits-biolabs-ukraine/</ref><br />

====DTRA====<br />
The DoD Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has funded 11 bio-laboratories in Ukraine. The official documents confirm that the Pentagon, represented by the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), is organising work with a clear military-biological focus.<br />

A highly suspicious Hepatitis A infection spread rapidly in just few months across South East Ukraine where most of the Pentagon biolabs are located. 37 people were hospitalized for Hepatitis A in the Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv as of January 2018.<ref>https://www.segodnya.ua/regions/others/vspyshkoy-gepatita-v-nikolaeve-zainteresovalas-policiya-1103357.html</ref> Local police launched an investigation into “infection with human immunodeficiency virus and other incurable diseases”. In addition, in 2016 more than 100 people in the same city became infected with [[Cholera]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K47S1DarhTE</ref> Both diseases are alleged to have spread through contaminated drinking water. In the summer of 2017, 60 people with Hepatitis A were admitted to hospital in the city of Zaporizhia,<ref>https://www.segodnya.ua/regions/others/vspyshkoy-gepatita-v-nikolaeve-zainteresovalas-policiya-1103357.html</ref> the cause of this outbreak is still unknown. In the Odessa region, 19 children from an orphanage were hospitalized for hepatitis A in June 2017.<ref>https://archive.fo/wip/YOvCU</ref> 29 cases of Hepatitis A were reported in Kharkiv in November 2017. The virus was isolated in contaminated drinking water. One of the Pentagon bio-labs is located in Kharkiv which was blamed for the deadly Flu outbreak in 2018 which claimed the lives of 364 Ukrainians.<br />
<br />

In 2015 at least 100 new cases were registered in the city of Mykolaiv alone. A new highly virulent variant of the cholera agent Vibrio cholera, with a high genetic similarity to the strains reported in Ukraine, hit Moscow in 2014. According to a 2014 Russian Research Anti-Plaque Institute genetic study the cholera strain isolated in Moscow was similar to the bacteria which caused the epidemic in neighboring Ukraine.<ref>http://genomea.asm.org/content/5/8/e01640-16.full</ref> Southern Research Institute, one of the US contractors working at the bio-laboratories in Ukraine, has projects on Cholera, as well as on Influenza and Zika – all pathogens of military importance to the Pentagon.<br />

<br />
===Ukrainian Science and Technology Centre===<br />
Among the set of bilateral agreements between the US and Ukraine is the establishment of the Science and Technology Center in Ukraine (STCU) – an International organization funded mainly by the US government which has been accorded diplomatic status. The US personnel in Ukraine work under diplomatic cover. The STCU officially supports projects of scientists previously involved in the Soviet biological weapons program. Over the past 20 years the STCU has invested over $285 million in funding and managing some 1,850 projects of scientists who previously worked on the development of weapons of mass destruction.<br />
<br />
According to captured documents by the Russian Ministry of Defense,<ref>https://telegra.ph/Briefing-on-the-results-of-the-analysis-of-documents-related-to-the-military-biological-activities-of-the-United-States-on-the-t-04-14</ref> the Ukrainian Science and Technology Centre (STCU),<br />
{{quotebox-float|"is headquartered in Kiev and has regional offices in [[Baku]], Chisinau and [[Tbilisi]], as well as in Kharkov and Lvov. <br />
<br />
However, the Russian Ministry of Defence's Chemical and Biological Threat Expertise Centre found that the STCU's main activity is to act as a distribution centre for grants for research of interest to the Pentagon, including biological weapons research. <br />
<br />
In recent years alone, Washington has spent more than $350 million on STCU projects.<br />
<br />
The U.S. customers and sponsors of STCU are the [[Department of State]] and the [[Department of Defense]]. Funding is also provided through the [[Environmental Protection Agency]], the [[Department of Agriculture|US Departments of Agriculture]], [[HHS|Health]] and [[DOE|Energy]]....<br />
<br />
Between 2014 and 2022, the Ukrainian Science and Technology Centre implemented five hundred R&D projects in post-Soviet countries (Ukraine, Georgia, [[Moldova]] and [[Azerbaijan]]). <br />
<br />
US supervisors were primarily interested in dual-use research, such as project 6166, Development of Technologies for Modelling, Evaluation and Prediction of Effects of Conflicts and Threats of Mass Destruction Weapons Spread, and project 9601, Transfer of Ukrainian Technologies for the Production of Complex Dual-Use Materials to the European Union.<br />
<br />
Many of them are aimed at studying potential biological weapons agents (plague, tularaemia) and pathogens of economic importance (pathogenic avian influenza, African swine fever).<br />
<br />
Projects P-364, 444, and 781, aimed at studying the spread of dangerous pathogens through insect vectors, wild birds, and bats, were funded by the Centre directly in the interests of the military department.<br />
<br />
Note the documents of Project 3007 "Monitoring of the epidemiological and environmental situation regarding hazardous diseases of aquatic origin in Ukraine". <br />
<br />
During the work, Ukrainian specialists, supervised by American scientists, systematically collected water samples in a number of major Ukrainian rivers, including the Dnepr, [[Danube]] and Dniester, as well as in the North Crimean Canal, to determine the presence of particularly dangerous pathogens, including cholera, typhoid, hepatitis A and E pathogens, and draw conclusions about their possible waterborne spread. <br />
<br />
The project assessed the damage properties of the selected samples and deposited the strains in a collection and subsequently exported them to the USA. <br />
<br />
...the results of this work can be used to create an unfavourable biological situation not only in the Russian Federation, but also in the Black Sea and the [[Sea of Azov]], as well as in [[Eastern Europe]] - [[Belarus]], Moldova and [[Poland]]....<br />
<br />
Thus, during the special operation in Ukraine, it was established that US scientists from a laboratory in Merefa (Kharkov Region) were testing potentially dangerous biological drugs on patients of the regional clinical [[psychiatric]] hospital No 3 in Kharkov between 2019 and 2021. <br />
<br />
Persons with mental disorders were selected for the experiments on the basis of their age, nationality and immune status. Special forms were used to record the results of 24-hour patient monitoring. The information was not entered into the hospital database and the staff of the medical institution signed a non-disclosure agreement. <br />
<br />
In January 2022, the laboratory in Merefa was shut down and all equipment and preparations were moved to western Ukraine."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUO-bDDGZcg</ref>}}<br />
<br />
===Nuclear fuel and waste===<br />
As of 2022 Ukraine holds a large amount of spent nuclear fuel that has not been removed from the territory of Ukraine since 2020 and that has been stored on the territory of nuclear power plants awaiting the construction of a nuclear fuel storage facility in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. In addition, the Kyiv regime had accumulated 30 tons of plutonium and 40 tons of enriched uranium at the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant. <br />
<br />
===Neo-Nazi groups===<br />
''The Postil'' reported that in 2007, the [[CIA]] put together a “conference” of various anti-Russian factions in Ukraine whose purpose was nothing other than to groom neo-Nazis and [[jihad]]ists, both groups being solidly [[anti-Russian]]. Overseeing the conference was [[Dmytro Yarosh]], who led the Trident and the [[Pravy Sektor]], both neo-Nazi organizations.<ref>https://www.thepostil.com/the-nazis-of-ukraine/</ref><br />
<br />
These various neo-Nazi units, trained by [[the West]], were integrated into the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). After 2014 Maidan coup, the West actively protected these neo-Nazi groups. Victoria Nuland, in 2021, told Volodymyr Zelensky to appoint Dmytro Yarosh as adviser to the [[Commander-in-Chief]] of the Ukrainian army—because no one can fight Russians better than Nazis. Here are the larger units of neo-Nazis, or Banderites which fought Russians in Ukraine:<br />

*Members of Svoboda (formerly the “Nation-Social Party of Ukraine,” which curiously rhymes with Hitler's “National-Socialist German Workers Party”)<br />
*The AZOV Battalion (based in Mariupol)<br />
*C14 of Kyiv<br />
*The [[Aidar Battalion]] (in Luhansk)<br />
*The Wotanjugend (who are actually Russian in origin)<br />
*Ukraine Patriot (co-founded by Parliament Speaker [[Andriy Parubiy]])<br />
*The National Militia<br />
*[[Karpatska Sich]]<br />
*Freikorps<br />
<br />
There are also many other smaller units (more than 30) that have merged with the larger ones, and all have been integrated into the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And the various symbols of these organizations are common-place in Ukraine (i.e., the Sonnenrad, the Totenkopf, the Wolfsangel). After 2014, Ukraine also became the main “exporter” of Nazi ideology throughout the world.<br />
<br />
Fighting alongside the neo-Nazis and the Ukrainian army are a slew of jihadis and mercenaries, many of whom are from other Western neo-Nazi groups like the Misanthropic Division. These mercenaries are known as the International Legion of [[Territorial Defense]] of Ukraine.<br />

===US/Ukrainian intelligence collaboration===<br />
Within the NATO bloc, the Cyber Defense Systems Development Fund and the Armed Forces of Ukraine Command, Control and Communications Systems Modernization Fund were among the trust funds established to assist Ukraine in 2014.<br />
<br />
According to information announced in April 2017 by the head of the [[Security Service of Ukraine]] (SBU), [[Vasyl Hrytsak]], the first stage of cooperation with the Ukraine-NATO Trust Fund in the field of cyber defense included a total of one million euros, which was used to purchase equipment and software to equip computer incident response centers of key Ukrainian state institutions, in particular, the Situation Center of the SBU and the Cyber Incident Response Center of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.<ref>https://interfax.com.ua/news/general/433693.html</ref><br />

====2016 US presidential election interference====<br />
<br />
Not Russia, but Ukraine interfered in the [[2016 United States presidential election]]. The purpose was twofold: (1) rig the 2016 election for Hillary Clinton; (2) a negative propaganda campaign against Russia to turn the American people against the Russian Federation and perceive it as a threat.<br />
<br />
[[File:Surkov-leaks-with-Crowdstrike-390x400.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Although this profile says Virginia, tweets are from the Sofia, Bulgaria time zone and he writes in Russian. Another curiosity considering the Fancy Bear source code is in Russian. This image shows Crowdstrike in their network. Crowdstrike is part of Ukrainian nationalist hacker network. In the image it shows a network diagram of Crowdstrike following the Surkov leaks. The network communication goes through a secondary source.]]<br />
Dimitri Alperovitch's relationship with Andrea Chalupa's efforts and Ukrainian intelligence groups is where things really heat up. [[Alexandra Chalupa]] works with '''[[Euromaidanpress.com]]''' and '''Informnapalm.org''' which is the outlet for Ukrainian state-sponsored hackers. InformNapalm and Censor.net are media outlet that are controlled by the Ministry of Defense and Main Intelligence Department.<ref>https://archive.is/wip/Z55EP</ref><br />
<br />
Investigating Dimitri Alperovitch's twitter relationships, the question arises as to why the CEO of a $150 million company like Crowdstrike follows Ukrainian InformNapalm and its hackers individually. There is a mutual relationship. When you add up his work for the OUNb, Ukraine, support for Ukraine's Intelligence, and to the hackers it needs to be investigated to see if Ukraine is conspiring against the US government. Crowdstrike is also following their hack of a Russian government official after the DNC hack. It closely resembles the same method used with the DNC because it was an email hack.<br />
[[File:Gerashchenko.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Deputy Gestapo head Anton Gerashchenko is one of the Zelensky regime's chief Nazi propagandists.]]<br />
Crowdstrike's product line includes Falcon Host, Falcon Intelligence, Falcon Overwatch and Falcon DNS. In an interview with Euromaidanpress these hackers say they have no need for the CIA.<ref>http://euromaidanpress.com/2016/11/02/ukraine-hackers-cyberhunta-surkov-putin-ruh8-cyberalliance/</ref> They consider the CIA amateurish. They also say they are not part of the Ukrainian military Cyberalliance is a quasi-organization with the participation of several groups – RUH8, Trinity, Falcon Flames, Cyberhunta. There are structures affiliated to the hackers – the [[Myrotvorets]] site, Informnapalm analytical agency.”<br />
<br />
[[File:Osint-image-and-tweet-400x117.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Although OSINT Academy sounds fairly innocuous, it’s the official twitter account for Ukraine’s Ministry of Information head Dimitri Zolotukin. It is also Ukrainian Intelligence. The Ministry of Information started the Peacekeeper or [[Myrotvorets]] website that geolocates journalists and other people for assassination. If you disagree with OUNb politics, you could be on the list.]]<br />
Should someone tell Dimitri Alperovitch that [[Anton Gerashchenko]], who is now in charge of the [[Peacekeeper kill list]] recently threatened president-elect Donald Trump that he would put him on his “Peacemaker” site as a target? The same has been done with [[Silvio Berlusconi]] in 2015.<br />
<br />
Trying not to be obvious, the Head of Ukraine's Information Ministry (UA Intelligence) tweeted something interesting that ties Alperovitch and Crowdstrike to the Ukrainian Intelligence hackers and the Information Ministry even tighter. This single tweet on a network chart shows that out of all the Ukrainian Ministry of Information Minister's following, he only wanted the 3 hacking groups associated with both him and Alperovitch to get the tweet. Alperovitch's story was received and not retweeted or shared. If this was just Alperovitch's victory, it was a victory for Ukraine. It would be shared heavily. If it was a victory for the hacking squad, it would be smart to keep it to themselves and not draw unwanted attention.<br />
<br />
These same hackers are associated with Alexandra, Andrea, and Irene Chalupa through the portals and organizations they work with through their OUNb. The hackers are funded and directed by or through the same OUNb channels that Alperovitch is working for and with to promote the story of Russian hacking.<br />
<br />
When you look at the image for the hacking group in the euromaidanpress article, one of the hackers identifies themselves as one of [[Dimitri Yarosh]]'s Pravy Sektor members by the Pravy Sektor sweatshirt they have on. Noted above, [[Pravy Sektor]] admitted to killing the '[[Heavenly Hundred]]' at the Maidan protest and sparked the coup.<br />
[[File:Ukrainian Nazis.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Ukrainian nazi flag.<ref>https://eurasiantimes.com/ukraine-uses-pig-fat-bullets-to-counter-russian-aggression/</ref>]]<br />
Going further with the linked Euromaidanpress article the hackers say "Let’s understand that Ukrainian hackers and Russian hackers once constituted a single very powerful group. Ukrainian hackers have a rather high level of work. So the help of the USA… I don’t know, why would we need it? We have all the talent and special means for this. And I don’t think that the USA or any NATO country would make such sharp movements in international politics.”<br />
<br />
What sharp movements in international politics have been made lately? Let me spell it out for the 17 US Intelligence Agencies so there is no confusion. These state sponsored, Russian language hackers in [[Eastern Europe]]an time zones have shown with the Surkov hack they have the tools and experience to hack states that are looking out for it. They are also laughing at US intel efforts.<br />
<br />
The hackers also made it clear that they will do anything to serve Ukraine. Starting a war between Russia and the USA is the one way they could serve Ukraine best, and hurt Russia worst. Given those facts, if the [[DNC]] hack was according to the criteria given by Alperovitch, both he and these hackers need to be investigated.<br />
<br />
According to the ''Esquire'' interview “Alperovitch was deeply frustrated: He thought the government should tell the world what it knew. There is, of course, an element of the personal in his battle cry. “A lot of people who are born here don’t appreciate the freedoms we have, the opportunities we have, because they’ve never had it any other way,” he told me. “I have.”<br />
<br />
While I agree patriotism is a great thing, confusing it with this kind of nationalism is not. '''Alperovitch seems to think by serving [[OUNb]] Ukraine's interests and delivering a conflict with Russia that is against American interests, he's a patriot. He isn't serving US interests. He's definitely a Ukrainian patriot.''' Maybe he should move to Ukraine.<br />
<br />
The evidence presented deserves investigation because it looks like the case for [[conflict of interest]] is the least Dimitri Alperovitch should look forward to. If these hackers are the real Cozy Bear and Fancy Bear, they really did make sharp movements in international politics. By pawning it off on Russia, they made a worldwide embarrassment of an outgoing President of the United States and made the President Elect the suspect of rumor.<br />

Russian hacker group RAHDit leaked data of 2500 officers of the [[Main Intelligence Directorate]] (GUR) of the military department of Ukraine in July 2022. The hacker group revealed that the released information includes data about the relatives of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) and people who received payments from GUR bank accounts.<br />
<br />
The hackers claimed that the GUR officers include alleged [[drug addict]]s and former [[criminal]]s convicted of robbery, the illegal trafficking of [[weapon]]s and [[drug]]s as well as causing bodily injuries. They further revealed that they have given the information regarding the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) to [[law enforcement]] agencies. RAHDit said it was not intending to publish information related to underage relatives of Ukrainian officers.<br />
<br />
====Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR)====<br />
<br />
RaHDIt leaked the personal information of more than 1500 employees of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) of Ukraine. An anonymous law enforcement source has "confirmed the authenticity" of the information released on the hacker group's website Nemezide (Nemesis) on September 26, 2022.<ref>https://www.republicworld.com/world-news/russia-ukraine-crisis/russian-hackers-release-data-of-over-1500-ukrainian-foreign-intelligence-service-agents-articleshow.html</ref> The information is related to Ukrainian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) agents working under the cover of embassies in over 20 nations. <br />
<br />
The information includes people working under the cover of embassies in France, [[Argentina]], Germany, [[Italy]], US, Poland, [[Azerbaijan]], [[Hungary]], [[Tajikistan]], [[South Africa]], [[Greece]], [[Iraq]], and other nations. Furthermore, RaHDIt hackers released information on Ukrainian SVR agents working in the missions of the United Nations, European Union, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and 40 Ukrainian SVR locations within Ukraine, including one at an educational establishment.<br />
<br />
====War planning====<br />
Following the [[2014 Maidan coup]], [[NATO]] spent eight years preparing the [[Ukro-Nazi]]s for war on [[Russia]]. That prep consisted, in part, with the building of heavy reinforced concrete fortifications in the [[Donbass]], piggybacking on the existing [[Soviet]]-era heavy industrial and mining sites and cities with their deep tunnels—natural fortresses that were almost impregnable to standard heavy [[artillery]].<br />
<br />
The Russian forces made slow progress against these fortifications, although the use of heavy [[glide bomb]]s proved far more effective than artillery. Still, it was a slow process, given that each of these heavy glide bombs had to be launched from aircraft—which exposed them, to varying extents, to NATO anti-aircraft defenses. This allowed the gradual reduction of the heaviest fortifications, built using the existing industrial and mining facilities. However, the remaining defensive fortifications, purpose built, remained, and it is these that Russian forces began breaking through. That led to a new [[tactic]]—the use of “heavy” [[drone]]s to precisely target strong points. Heavy FPV drones like the “Upyr-18” changed that. These powerful platforms deliver precise, high-explosive strikes directly into enemy fortifications, dismantling strongpoints and enabling safer advances.<br />

==Foreign Relations==<br />

The government has declared Euro-Atlantic integration to be its primary foreign policy objective and has sought to maintain good relations with Russia. The European Union's Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA) with Ukraine went into force on March 1, 1998. After the 2004 round of EU expansion, the EU did not signal a willingness to consider Ukraine for an association agreement, as Ukraine had hoped for, but instead included it in a new "neighbor" policy, disappointing many Ukrainians. An agreement on intensified cooperation is possible after Ukrainian WTO accession. On January 31, 1992, Ukraine joined the then-Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (now the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe—OSCE), and on March 10, 1992, it became a member of the North Atlantic Cooperation Council. Ukraine signed a Charter Agreement with NATO in 1997, sent troops to Kosovo in close cooperation with NATO countries, signed an agreement for NATO use of Ukrainian strategic airlift assets, and has declared interest in eventual membership. It is the most active member of the Partnership for Peace (PfP). In April 2005, NATO offered an "Intensified Dialogue on Membership Issues" to Ukraine. <br />
<br />
<!--Ukraine maintains peaceful and constructive relations with all its neighbors, though there are some unresolved maritime issues along the Danube and in the Black Sea with Romania; it has especially close ties with Poland and Russia.--><br />
[[File:President Trump and Zelenskyy.jpg|left|300px|thumbnail|President Trump and President Zelensky before the 2024 election.]]<br />
Relations with Russia are complicated by differing foreign policy priorities in the region, energy dependence, payment arrears, disagreement over compliance with the 1997 agreement on the stationing of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in [[Sevastopol]], and a dispute over bilateral boundaries in the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait. Ukraine co-founded the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) on December 8, 1991, but in January 1993 it refused to endorse a draft charter strengthening political, economic, and defense ties among CIS members. Ukraine was a founding member of GUAM (Georgia-Ukraine-Azerbaijan-Moldova) and has taken the lead with Georgia to promote cooperation among emerging democracies in the Community for Democratic Choice, which held its first summit meeting December 1–2, 2005 in Kyiv. <br />
<br />
In 1999–2001, Ukraine served as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council. Soviet Ukraine joined the United Nations in 1945 as one of the original members following a Western compromise with the Soviet Union, which had asked for seats for all 15 of its union republics. Ukraine has consistently supported peaceful, negotiated settlements to disputes. It has participated in the five-sided (now "5+2") talks on the conflict in Moldova and under President Yushchenko actively boosted efforts to seek a resolution. Ukraine has also promoted a peaceful resolution to conflict in the post-Soviet state of Georgia<!-- and has advocated a return to democracy in neighboring Belarus. Ukraine has also made a substantial contribution to UN peacekeeping operations since 1992-->.<br />
<br />
According to Western sources, a major issue for NATO discussions is the roughly 20,000 confirmed cases of Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russian forces.{{fact}} According to Donald Trump, the issue "is a subject at the top of all lists."

<br />
===Relations with Russia===<br />
While Russia officially seeks the "demilitarization and denazification" of Ukraine, the [[Zelensky Regime]] is inadvertently achieving these goals on Russia's behalf.<br />
<br />
From the [[Kremlin]]'s perspective, there is no [[strategic]] incentive to decapitate the regime and eliminate [[Volodymyr Zelensky]]. His policies, driven by the need to satisfy [[Western alliance|Western]] demands for [[total war]], have resulted in the systematic dismantling of the Ukrainian [[state]]. The massive [[demographic]] depletion, the destruction of critical [[infrastructure]], the flight of millions of citizens, and the [[economic]] devastation are all outcomes that align with long-term Russian objectives of neutralizing Ukraine as a viable, independent threat on its border. Russia recognizes that Zelensky, in his desperate bid to remain useful to [[the West]], is actively destroying his own country's future. Eliminating him would risk replacing him with someone more competent, more unifying, or better able to [[negotiate]] a [[peace]] that preserves Ukrainian statehood. As long as the current leadership continues to bleed the country dry in a [[war]] it cannot win, [[Moscow]] views him as a [[strategic]] [[asset]], albeit an unwitting one.<br />
<br />
===Minsk II Agreement===<br />
<br />
The Normandy Group comprised of Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany negotiated a settlement regarding the autonomy of the breakaway regions of Donetsk and Luhansk with the Minsk II Agreement, freely signed by Ukraine and approved by the United Nations in 2015. When the Biden regime seized power in 2021, it enticed Ukraine to break the agreement by offering Ukraine NATO membership, igniting a crisis with Russia.<br />

According to the ''Kyiv Post'', <br />
{{quotebox-float|“Chalupa said she first came across Manafort after she organized a meeting with then-U.S. President Barack Obama’s [[National Security Council]] and leaders of Ukrainian-American organizations in January 2014, to brief the [[White House]] about the [[Euromaidan Revolution]] that drove President Viktor Yanukovych from power on Feb. 22, 2014.”}}<br />
<br />
In late 2015, [[Alexandra Chalupa]] expanded her research into Paul Manafort to include the Trump campaign and possible ties to Russia.<br />
[[File:Alexandra-chalupa-and-ukraine-embassy-in-the-us.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Alexandra Chalupa, Melanne Verveer, and Congresswoman [[Marcy Kaptur]]’s Ukraine linkages. Chalupa held multiple intelligence briefing and debriefing sessions regarding president Trump with Okana Shulyar and other Ukrainian embassy staff.<ref>https://apelbaum.wordpress.com/2019/09/29/how-to-finance-your-congressional-campaign-with-arms-sales/</ref>]]<br />
In January 2016, Chalupa informed an unknown senior [[DNC]] official that she believed there was a Russian connection with the Trump campaign. Notably, this theme would be picked up by the [[2016 Clinton campaign|Clinton campaign]] in the summer of 2016. Chalupa also told the official to expect Manafort's involvement in the Trump campaign.<br />
<br />
Chalupa’s forecast proved prescient, as Manafort reached out to the Trump campaign shortly after, on Feb. 29, 2016, through a mutual acquaintance, Thomas J. Barrack Jr. According to Manafort, he and Trump hadn’t been in communication for years until the Trump campaign responded to Manafort’s offer. On March 28, 2016, Manafort was hired by the Trump campaign. He was reportedly initially hired to lead the Trump campaign’s delegate effort, but was soon promoted, and on May 19, 2016, Manafort became Trump’s campaign chairman and chief strategist.<br />
<br />
Just days prior to Manafort’s hiring, on March 24, 2016, Chalupa spoke with the Ukrainian ambassador to the United States, Valeriy Chaly, and told him of concerns she had regarding Manafort. Reportedly, her concerns were initially rebuffed as Chaly didn’t think Trump had a real chance of winning the presidency.<br />
<br />
According to ''Politico'', the day after Manafort’s hiring, Chalupa provided a briefing on “Manafort, Trump and their ties to Russia” to the DNC's communications staff. Notably, “with the DNC’s encouragement,” Chalupa asked the Ukrainian Embassy staff to attempt to arrange an interview with Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko and have him discuss Manafort's ties to former Ukrainian President Yanukovych. The Ukrainian Embassy reportedly declined the request but, according to Chalupa, did begin working with reporters who were researching Trump.<br />
<br />
[[Andrii Telizhenko]], who worked in the Ukrainian Embassy under one of Chaly's top aides, Oksana Shulyar, has repeatedly stated that Chalupa was working closely with the Ukrainian Embassy to obtain information on Trump.<ref>https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/09/double-standards-on-ukraine/</ref> In an interview with the Gateway Pundit, Telizhenko said he met Chalupa in the spring of 2016 at the Ukrainian Embassy, where Chalupa told him she was “a DNC operative working for the DNC” and the “Clinton campaign.” Telizhenko continued, noting that Chalupa said she was “collecting any dirt or background information on Manafort, presidential candidate Trump or any other campaign official from the Trump campaign” and was looking for “connections to Russia or the FSB or Russian mob, or Ukrainian mob, etc.” According to Telizhenko, Chalupa said the information would “be used for committee hearings in Congress under a congresswoman.”<ref>Rep. [[Marcy Kaptur]].</ref> Telizhenko didn't disclose the identity of the congresswoman, noting, “I don’t want to mention her name on record.”<br />
<br />
In January 2017, Telizhenko told ''Politico'' that Chalupa said, “If we can get enough information on Paul [Manafort] or Trump’s involvement with Russia, she can get a hearing in Congress by September.”<br />
<br />
In a recent tweet, Telizhenko summed the situation succinctly, noting <br />
{{quotebox-float|“The Clinton campaign had a Democratic operative working with Ukraine’s embassy in Washington to research Trump’s Russia ties, as well as a Ukrainian lawmaker feeding information to Fusion GPS.”}}<br />
<br />
The “Democratic operative” refers to Chalupa, while the “Ukrainian lawmaker” refers to [[Leshchenko]].<br />

:*If she was that close to the investigation Crowdstrike did how credible is she? Her sister Alexandra was named one of 16 people that shaped the election by Yahoo news. '''The DNC hacking investigation done by Crowdstrike concluded hacking was done by Russian actors based on the work done by Alexandra Chalupa? That is the conclusion of her sister Andrea Chalupa and obviously enough for Crowdstrike to make the Russian government connection.''' <br />
:*How close is Dimitri Alperovitch to DNC officials? Close enough professionally he should have stepped down from an investigation that had the chance of throwing a presidential election in a new direction. According to Esquire.com, Alperovitch has vetted speeches for Hillary Clinton about cyber security issues in the past. Because of his work on the Sony hack, President Barrack Obama personally called and said the measures taken were directly because of his work.<br />
:*Alperovitch’s relationships with the Chalupas, radical groups, think tanks, Ukrainian propagandists, and Ukrainian state supported hackers [show a conflict of interest]. When it all adds up and you see it together, we have found a Russian that tried hard to influence the outcome of the US presidential election in 2016.<br />

====Fancy Bear is Ukrainian Intelligence====<br />

The FBI never verified the claim. Private investigators determined it was Ukrainian intelligence who were hired by Alexandra Chalupa, a member of the Democratic National Committee.]]<br />
George Eliason has identified Fancy Bear as Ukrainian intelligence.<br />
<br />
Alexandra Chalupa hired this particular hacking terrorist group, which Dimitry Alperovich and Crowdstrike dubbed "[[Fancy Bear]]", in 2015 at the latest. While the Ukrainian hackers worked for the DNC, Fancy Bear had to send in progress reports, turn in research, and communicate on the state of the projects they were working on. Let's face it, once you're in, setting up your Fancy Bear toolkit doesn't get any easier. This is why I said the DNC hack isn't the big crime. It's a big con and all the parties were in on it.<br />
<br />
Hillary Clinton exposed secrets to hacking threats by using private email instead of secured servers. Given the information provided she was probably being monitored by our intrepid Ruskie-Ukie union made in hell hackers. [[Anthony Weiner]] exposed himself and his wife [[Huma Abedin]] using Weiner's computer for top-secret State Department emails. And of course Huma Abedin exposed herself along with her top-secret passwords at [[Yahoo]] and it looks like the hackers the DNC hired to do opposition research hacked her.<br />
<br />
Here's a question. Did Huma Abedin have Hillary Clinton's passwords for her private email server? It would seem logical given her position with Clinton at the State Department and afterward. This means that Hillary Clinton and the US government top secret servers were most likely compromised by Fancy Bear before the DNC and Team Clinton hired them by using legitimate passwords.<br />

After eight straight years of sharp economic decline from the early to late 1990s, the standard of living for most citizens declined more than 50%, leading to widespread poverty. Beginning in 2000 economic growth has averaged 7.4% per year, reaching 12.1% in 2004 and 7.0% in 2006. Personal incomes are rising. The macro economy is stable, with the hyperinflation of the early post-Soviet period now reduced to just over 11.6% (2006). Ukraine's currency, the hryvnia, was introduced in September 1996 and has remained stable despite a small nominal appreciation in April 2005. While economic growth continues, Ukraine's long-term economic prospects depend on acceleration of market reforms. The economy remains burdened by excessive government regulation, corruption, and lack of law enforcement, and while the government has taken steps against corruption and small and medium enterprises have been largely privatized, much remains to be done to restructure and privatize key sectors such as energy and telecommunications and to allow the free sale of farmland. <br />

Ukraine is rich in [[natural resources]]. It has a major ferrous metal industry, producing cast iron, steel, and steel pipe, and its chemical industry produces [[Coke from coal|coke]], mineral fertilizers, and sulfuric acid. Manufactured goods include airplanes, turbines, metallurgical equipment, [[Diesel fuel system|diesel]] locomotives, and tractors. It also is a major producer of grain, sunflower seeds, and sugar and has a broad industrial base, including much of the former U.S.S.R.'s space and rocket industry. Although proven onshore and offshore oil and natural gas reserves are small, it has important energy sources, such as coal, and large mineral deposits, and is one of the world's leading energy transit countries, providing transportation of Russian and Caspian oil and gas across its territory. <br />
<br />
Ukraine encourages foreign trade and investment. The foreign investment law allows Westerners to purchase businesses and property, to repatriate revenue and profits, and to receive compensation in the event that property were to be nationalized by a future government. However, complex laws and regulations, poor corporate governance, weak enforcement of contract law by courts and particularly corruption have discouraged broad foreign direct investment in Ukraine. While there is a functioning stock market, the lack of protection for minority shareholder rights severely restricts portfolio investment activities. Total foreign direct investment in Ukraine was approximately $21.2 billion as of January 1, 2007. At $447 per capita, this was one of the lowest figures in the region. <br />
<br />
While countries of the former Soviet Union remain important trading partners, especially Russia and Turkmenistan for energy imports, Ukraine's trade is becoming more diversified. Europe is now the destination of over one third of Ukraine's exports, while around one quarter of Ukraine's exports go to Russia and the CIS. Exports of machinery and machine tools are on the rise relative to steel, which constitutes over 30% of exports. Ukraine imports over 80% of its oil and 73% of its natural gas. Russia ranks as Ukraine's principal supplier of oil and Russian firms now own and/or operate the majority of Ukraine's refining capacity. Natural gas imports come from Russia and Turkmenistan, which deliver the gas through a pipeline system owned and controlled by [[Gazprom]], Russia's state-owned gas monopoly. In 2005 and 2006, Ukraine switched from barter to cash payments for gas imports. Ukraine controls the gas pipelines on its territory that are also used to transit Russian gas to Western Europe. The complex relationship between supplier, transporter, and consumer has led to some tensions, including Russia's decision to cut off gas supplies for three days in January 2006. <br />
<br />
The Government of Ukraine's 12-month $605 million precautionary standby agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) expired in March 2005, and Ukraine currently does not receive IMF financing. In Article IV Consultations, the IMF recommends fiscal discipline and structural reforms, particularly of Ukraine's pension system. In July 2005, the World Bank approved a $250 million Development Policy Loan (formerly a Programmatic Adjustment Loan) to support reforms to improve the investment climate, public administration and financial management, and social inclusion. European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) project outlays more than doubled in 2005 to 530 million Euros, bringing its portfolio to 2.2 billion Euros.<br />
<br />
In 1992, Ukraine became a member of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. It is a member of the EBRD but not a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Ukraine applied for membership in the WTO in 1995. Progress on its application had been slow but picked up momentum in 2006. The government has made accession to the WTO a priority in 2007. <br />
<br />
===Economic data===<br />
[[File:1-Russia-Ukraine-Biolabs.jpg|right|300px|thumb|U.S. owned biological laboratories in Ukraine.]]<br />
Ukraine is classified as a lower middle-income nation, evolving into a post-soviet developing economy.<br />
<br />
Approximate economic statistics are as follows:<br />
* Ukraine's GDP is $103 billion ($103,000,000,000), and has been growing at a rate of 6% fairly consistently. <br />
* Per capita GDP is $2,200, with per capita purchasing power at $7,700. <br />
* Foreign debt is 7% of GDP, and foreign investment is 2% of GDP.<br />
* Average monthly salary is 200 euros per month. <br />
* Commercial prime lending rate is 15%.<br />
* The inflation rate is currently 10%. <br />
<br />
The Ukrainian currency is the hryvnia (worth about 20 cents, in $USD), which was introduced 1996 to stabilize runaway inflation (and is currently trading at 5:1 for United States dollars, and at 6:1 for European Union euros). <br />
<br />
Taxation rates are as follows:<br />
* Personal income tax is 15%. <br />
* Corporate income tax is 25%. <br />
* Value-added tax (VAT) is 20%. <br />
* Social insurance tax is 30%. <br />
<br />
Import/export goods include:<br />
* Metals (35%)<br />
* Machinery (25%)<br />
* Fuel & chemicals (10%)<br />
* Agricultural (10%)<br />
* Other (20%)<br />
<br />
Mining includes fuel ores of coal, oil, and natural gas, and metal ores of iron, manganese, titanium, magnesium, nickel, and mercury.<br />
<br />
Major trade partners are Russia (25%), then about 5% each for [[Germany]], [[Poland]], Italy, [[Turkey]], and [[China]], and others.<br />
<br />
===Environmental Issues===<br />
[[Image:Chornobyl radiation96.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Radiation-affected areas from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant as of 1996]]<br />
Ukraine is interested in cooperating on regional environmental issues. Conservation of natural resources is a stated high priority, although implementation suffers from a lack of financial resources. Ukraine established its first nature preserve, Askania-Nova, in 1921 and has a program to breed endangered species. <br />
<br />
Ukraine has significant environmental problems, especially those resulting from the [[Chernobyl]] nuclear power plant disaster in 1986 and from industrial pollution. In accordance with its agreement with the G7 and European Commission in 1995, Ukraine permanently closed the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant in December 2000. Urgent measures for radiation and worker safety as well as structural improvements to the "sarcophagus" erected by the Soviet Union are largely complete, and the contract for construction of the new shelter to be built around the sarcophagus is expected to be awarded in 2007. <br />
<br />
Ukraine also has established a Ministry of Environment and has introduced a pollution fee system, which levies taxes on air and water emissions and solid waste disposal. The resulting revenues are channeled to environmental protection activities, but enforcement of this pollution fee system is lax. Ukraine ratified the Kyoto Protocol in April 2004. <br />
<br />
Construction of a shipping canal through a UN-protected core biosphere reserve in the Danube Delta, which began in May 2004, is an environmental issue of international interest.<br />
<br />
===Burisma Holdings===<br />
Vice President [[Joe Biden]] oversaw the disbursement of $1 billion allocated by the U.S. to the new government of Ukraine. In 2014, Biden's son [[Hunter Biden]], was appointed to the board of directors of Burisma Holdings, the largest oil and gas company in Ukraine. Hunter Biden was hired by [[Mykola Zlochevsky]], who served as Ukraine's ecology minister in the previous administration. Hunter Biden was paid $166,000 per month. The money was split with the nephew of [[Whitey Bulger]].<br />
<br />
Zlochevsky came under investigation by the new administration for alleged embezzlement of $5 billion while ecology minister. The prosecutor traced payments made to Hunter Biden. Vice President Biden threatened the new Ukrainian administration to withhold $1 billion in U.S. allocated funds unless the prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden was fired.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/09/world/europe/corruption-ukraine-joe-biden-son-hunter-biden-ties.html</ref><br />
<br />
Biden bragged about having caused the firing of the Ukraine prosecutor to a [[CFR]] conference.<br />
[[File:Joe Biden at CFR meeting 2018 2.jpeg|left|300px|thumb|Biden at the [[Council on Foreign Relations]]: "‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money'...Well, [SOB], he got fired."<ref>https://haciendapublishing.com/articles/deep-dark-secrets-rich-famous-and-powerful-cliff-kincaid</ref>]]<br />
U.S. banking records show Hunter Biden's firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC, received regular transfers — usually more than $166,000 a month — from Burisma from spring 2014 through fall 2015, during a period when Joe Biden was the main U.S. official dealing with Ukraine. Biden threatened Ukrainian President [[Petro Poroshenko]] that the [[Obama administration]] would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending Ukraine toward insolvency, if it didn't immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin who was investigating his son, Hunter. Biden recounted, <br />
{{quotebox-float|"'You’re not getting the billion'. I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money'...Well, [SOB], he got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time."<ref name="thehill.com">https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/436816-joe-bidens-2020-ukrainian-nightmare-a-closed-probe-is-revived</ref><ref>https://www.cfr.org/event/foreign-affairs-issue-launch-former-vice-president-joe-biden</ref>}}<br />
Yuriy Lutsenko, who replaced Shokin as the prosecutor looking into Burisma, said the evidence in the Burisma case he'd like to present to [[William Barr]], particularly the vice president's intervention.<br />
<br />
Between April 2014 and October 2015, more than $3 million was paid out by Burisma to an account linked to Biden's and Devon Archer's Rosemont Seneca firm, according to the financial records placed in a federal court file in Manhattan in another case against Archer. The bank records show that, on most months when Burisma money flowed, two wire transfers of $83,333.33 each were sent to the Rosemont Seneca–connected account on the same day. The same Rosemont Seneca–linked account typically then paid Hunter Biden one or more payments ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 each. Ukrainian prosecutors reviewed internal company documents and wanted to interview Hunter Biden and Archer about why they had received such payments, but couldn't because of Joe Biden's intervention.<br />
<br />
According to a declassified [[CIA]] report,<ref>https://www.cia.gov/static/Ukraine_Redacted_Final.pdf</ref> officials in the administration of President [[Petro Poroshenko]] expressed [[confusion]] and disappointment after the Biden's visit to [[Kiev]] on December 7–8, 2015; the Ukrainian side expected that the visit would focus on discussing specific personnel matters in the Ukrainian government and assumed that Biden would express support for or opposition to certain officials.<br />
<br />
However, after the visit, they concluded that Biden's purpose was almost entirely limited to making a general public statement, with no intention of conducting substantive negotiations with Poroshenko.<br />
<br />
In private conversations, Ukrainian officials pointed to publications about the [[Biden family]]'s ties to [[corruption]] schemes in Ukraine and called it an example of [[U.S.]] [[double standards]]. The document was marked "Top Secret," and at the insistence of Biden's office and the U.S. [[National Security Council]], it was decided in February 2016 not to distribute it.<br />
<br />
On September 4, 2019, former Prosecutor General [[Victor Shokin]] made a sworn affidavit outlining Joe Biden's shakedown.<ref>https://www.scribd.com/document/427618359/Shokin-Statement</ref><br />

==History==<br />
[[File:Annexations to the territory of Ukraine.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Annexations to the territory of Ukraine]]<br />
<br />
{{See also|History of Ukraine}}<br />
Modern Ukraine is largely the remains of the failed efforts of [[Bolshevik]] [[nation building]]. Before the Bolshevik declaration of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, the Ukrainian People's Republic existed for a few months headed by the "Hetman of all Ukraine", [[Pavlo Skoropadskyi]]. Recognition was not extended to it at the [[Versailles Conference]].<ref>https://www.academia.edu/92516490/The_Ukrainians_Unexpected_Nation_review_?email_work_card=title</ref><br />
<br />
Under [[international law]], there is no border between the Ukraine and Russia. The [[Russian Federation]] is the legal successor state of the late [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics]], including its foreign debts (which it paid off) its assets, its strategic [[nuclear weapon]]s, and its territory. When in 2019 the [[US]]-installed [[Kiev regime]] did not renew the 1999 Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation, and Partnership which established a line of demarcation between Russian and Ukrainian territory, the borders became null and void, and the territory reverted back to Russia.<br />
<br />
In December 2020, after torchlight parades took place all over Ukraine honoring [[Stepan Bandera]], head of the [[OUN-B]], Ukrainian national hero, who was a collaborator with the Nazis during the [[Second World War]], and whose men massacred [[Jews]] and [[Polish]] civilians, [[Poland]] and [[Israel]] issued a joint communiqué to complain about the glorification of Bandera, Andriy Melnyk, the head of the other branch of the OUN, the OUN-M, and all others who actively promoted the [[ethnic cleansing]] of Jews and Poles.<ref>[https://twitter.com/PLinUkraine/status/1212760669285736449 Joint statement of Ambassador of Polish Ambassador Bartosz Cichocki and Ambassador of Israel in Ukraine Joel Lion].</ref><br />
<br />
===Historiography===<br />
The scholarly study of the Ukraine's history emerged from romantic impulses in the late 19th century. The outstanding leaders were Volodymyr Antonovych (1834-1908), based in Kiev, and his student Michael Hrushevsky (1866-1934).<ref>Serhii Plokhy, ''Unmaking Imperial Russia: Mykhailo Hrushevsky and the Writing of Ukrainian History'' (2005)</ref> For the first time full-scale scholarly studies based on archival sources, modern research techniques, and modern historical theories became possible. However, the demands of government officials—especially Soviet, but also Czarists and Polish—made it difficult to disseminate ideas that ran counter to the central government. Therefore, exile schools of historians emerged in central Europe and Canada after 1920.<ref>KubijovyČ, ed. ''Ukraine: A Concise Encyclopedia'' (1963) 1:559-74</ref><br />
<br />
Strikingly different interpretations of the medieval state of [[Kievan Rus']] appear in the four schools of historiography within Ukraine: Russophile, Sovietophile, Eastern Slavic, and Ukrainophile. The Sovietophile and Russophile schools have become marginalized in independent Ukraine, with the Ukrainophile school being dominant in the early 21st century. The Ukrainophile school promotes an identity that is mutually exclusive of Russia. It has come to dominate the nation's educational system, security forces, and national symbols and monuments, although it has been dismissed as nationalist by Western historians. The East Slavic school, an eclectic compromise between Ukrainophiles and Russophilism, has a weaker ideological and symbolic base, although it is preferred by Ukraine's centrist former elites.<ref>Taras Kuzio, "National Identity and History Writing in Ukraine," ''Nationalities Papers'' 2006 34(4): 407-427, online in [[EBSCO]]</ref> <br />
<br />
Many historians in recent years have sought alternatives to national histories, and Ukrainian history invited approaches that looked beyond a national paradigm. Multiethnic history recognizes the numerous peoples in Ukraine; transnational history portrays Ukraine as a border zone for various empires; and area studies categorizes Ukraine as part of Eurasia, or more often as part of East-Central Europe. Plokhy (2007) argues that looking beyond the country's national history has made possible a richer understanding of Ukraine, its people, and the surrounding regions.<ref>Serhii Plokhy, "Beyond Nationality" ''Ab Imperio'' 2007 (4): 25-46,</ref><br />
<br />
After 1991, historical memory was a powerful tool in the political [[mobilization]] and legitimation of the post-Soviet Ukrainian state, as well as the division of selectively used memory along the lines of the political division of Ukrainian society. Ukraine did not experience the restorationist paradigm typical of some other post-Soviet nations, including the Baltic states, although the multifaceted history of independence, the Orthodox Church in Ukraine, Soviet-era repressions, mass famine, and World War II collaboration were used to provide a different constitutive frame for the new Ukrainian nation. The politics of identity (which includes the production of history textbooks and the authorization of commemorative practices) has remained fragmented and tailored to reflect the ideological anxieties and concerns of individual regions of Ukraine.<ref>See Andryi Portnov, "Exercises with history Ukrainian style (notes on public aspects of history's functioning in post-Soviet Ukraine)," ''Ab Imperio'' 2007 (3): 93-138, in Ukrainian</ref><br />

===Origins of an Ukrainian State: 19th century, 1897 Russian Empire Census and World War I===<br />
[[File:Map of the Ukrainian Republic in 1919, taken from the Memorandum on Ukrainian Independence, presented to the Peace Conference by the Delegation of the Ukrainian Republic.jpg|350px|thumbnail|Borders claimed by the Ukrainian People's Republic delegation at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 and 1920. The proposals were rejected.]]<br />
In the 19th century the Ukrainian was a rural area largely ignored by Russia and Austria. With growing urbanization and modernization, and a cultural trend toward nationalism inspired by romanticism, a Ukrainian intelligentsia committed to national rebirth and social justice emerged. The serf-turned-national-poet [[Taras Shevchenko]] (1814-1861) and the political theorist [[Mykhailo Drahomanov]] (1841-1895) led the growing nationalist movement. Nationalist and socialist parties developed in the late 19th century. '''[[Austrian Galicia]]''', which enjoyed substantial political freedom under the relatively lenient rule of the [[Hapsburgs]], became the center of the nationalist movement. The first Ukrainians were Carpathian Russians in [[Austria-Hungary]] who denounced [[Orthodox Christianity]] for [[Roman Catholicism|Catholicism]] in 1893.<ref>https://russian-faith.com/persecution/struggle-russian-christian-faith-europe-carpatho-russians-n1122</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Ukrainians in the Russian Empire, 1897.jpg|350px|thumbnail|left|Ukrainian Speakers in the Russian Empire, 1897.]]<br />
In 1897 the [[Russian Empire]] conducted a Census<ref>[https://www.myheritage.com/wiki/Ukrainian_census_records Ukrainian census records - MyHeritage]</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/377830800_Censuses_in_Ukraine|title=Censuses in Ukraine|date=January 2024|publisher=The Global Politics of Census Taking|author=Tetyana Tyshchuk; Ilona Sologoub}}</ref> in which Russians were labeled as Great Russian (Великорусский), Ukrainians as Little Russian or Malorussian (Малорусский) and Belorrusians as White Russian (Белорусский). Byelorussian and Ukrainian languages were considered as the dialects of a unified Russian language in the census. Russian was the higher social prestige language at that time and ‘Little Russian’ language was frequently associated with the lower classes.<ref name=CensusAcademia>{{cite web|url=https://www.academia.edu/32001120/UKRAINIAN_URBAN_POPULATION_OF_THE_RUSSIAN_EMPIRE_ETHNIC_AND_LINGUISTIC_TRANSFORMATIONS_IN_THE_LATE_19_th_CENTURY|title=UKRAINIAN URBAN POPULATION OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE: ETHNIC AND LINGUISTIC TRANSFORMATIONS IN THE LATE 19 th CENTURY|author=Olga Kazakevych|date=2016}}</ref> According to Stephen Rapawy "The 1897 census reported that 63.3 percent of the inhabitants migrated from the surrounding and predominantly Ukrainian-speaking countryside (language but not nationality was asked in the census) but only 25 percent claimed Ukrainian as their national language. The migration took place largely after the abolition of serfdom in 1861, and the new Ukrainian migrants claimed Russian since Ukrainian was considered a crude peasant dialect. It is highly improbable that illiterate, or at best semiliterate, people from Ukrainian villages in a comparatively short period of time would forget Ukrainian and acquire proficiency in Russian, especially since they worked and socialized with people of similar backgrounds".<ref>{{cite web|title=ETHNIC REIDENTIFICATION IN UKRAINE|author=Stephen Rapawy|date=1997|publisher=U.S. Bureau of the Census|url=https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/working-papers/1997/demo/sp90.pdf}}</ref> The results of 1897 census show that the Russian and Ukrainian languages divided the majority of the Ukrainian urban population in almost equal halves. The Ukrainian speakers still were the predominant linguistic group of the Poltava (92,98%), Podolia (80,93%), Kharkiv (80,62%), Kyiv (79,21%), Volyn (70,09%), Ekaterinoslav (68,90%), Chernihiv (66,41%) and Kherson (53,48%) governorates. However, the ethnic and linguistic composition of the urban population differed significantly. Ukrainian speakers ranked second (17,81%) after the Russians (44,31%).<ref name=CensusAcademia/><br />
<br />
Before 1917, one could walk on foot from Kiev to Moscow without noticing any linguistic differences. Defeat in [[World War I]] and the Russian revolutions of 1917 destroyed the Hapsburg and Russian empires. The Ukrainian elite declared statehood: the Ukrainian People's Republic was proclaimed at Kiev on Nov. 20, 1917, becoming independent on Jan. 22, 1918. The West Ukrainian People's Republic was proclaimed at Lviv on Nov. 1, 1918. A rival Ukrainian Soviet Republic was established at Kharkiv on Dec. 24, 1917. On Jan. 22, 1919, the two people's republics united. Lenin gave Ukraine Kharkiv, Donbass, and the coastal oblasts, making it an artificial state in the style of the [[EU]].<ref>https://russophile.org/is-ukraine-an-artificial-state-popular-youtuber-says-yes/</ref><ref>https://orientalreview.org/2017/08/21/ukraines-misunderstanding-lenin-helps-explain-americas-fight-re-invented-historical-statues/</ref><ref>https://russian-faith.com/persecution/struggle-russian-christian-faith-europe-carpatho-russians-n1122</ref><ref>https://www.sott.net/article/391652-The-history-of-Ukraine-as-an-artificial-state</ref> By then, however, the military situation was desperate, as Polish and Bolshevik armies pressed the Ukrainian nationalists from west and east and the peasant anarchists led by Nestor Makhno took control of large areas. Because communist theory denies the existence of race as the adherents flip flop to favor one group over another, Lenin made the Soviet Union autonomous republics so not one ethnic group will have too much power.<br />

On April 28, 1918 the Hetmanat, Atamanat or Ukrainian State was created as a political institution of Ukrainian government. It was established, with the support of the [[Central Powers|WWI Central Powers]], by the Ukrainian cosacs and some military organizations, after the disbandment of the Central Rada of the People's Republic of Ukraine, in the context of the First World War, and was maintained until December 14 of the same year. The outstanding political figure was General [[Pavlo Skoropadsky|Pavló Skoropadskyi]], who personally exercised power over the theoretical proclamation of the country as a [[monarchy]] in opposition to [[Bolsheviks]].<ref name=Hetmanat>{{cite web |url= http://whp057.narod.ru/ukrder.htm |title= ''Hetmanat of Ukraine'' |date= 12-02-2008 |arxiuurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20101225015145/http://whp057.narod.ru/ukrder.htm |access-date= 2010-12-25}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Bolshevik Ukraine===<br />
<br />
The war in Ukraine continued for another two years; by 1921, however, most of Ukraine had been taken over by the Soviet Union, while Galicia and Volhynia were incorporated into independent Poland.<br />
<br />
A powerful underground Ukrainian nationalist movement rose in Poland in the 1920s and 1930s, led by the Ukrainian Military Organization and the [[Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists]] (OUN). The movement attracted a militant following among students and harassed the Polish authorities. Legal Ukrainian parties, the Ukrainian Catholic Church, an active press, and a business sector also flourished in Poland. Economic conditions improved in the 1920s, but the region suffered from the Great Depression in the 1930s. <br />
<br />
The situation in Soviet Ukraine under Communist control were sharply different. The communists gave a privileged position to manual labor, the largest class in the cities, where Russians dominated. The typical worker was more attached to class identity than to ethnicity. Although there were incidents of ethnic friction among workers (in addition to Ukrainians and Russians there were Poles, Germans, Jews, and others in the Ukrainian workforce), industrial laborers had already adopted Russian culture and language to a significant extent. Workers whose ethnicity was Ukrainian were not attracted to campaigns of Ukrainianization or de-Russification in meaningful numbers, but remained loyal members of the Soviet working class. There was no significant antagonism between workers identifying themselves as Ukrainian or Russian; however, anti-Semitism was widespread.<br />
<br />
Moscow encouraged a national renaissance in literature and the arts, under the aegis of the Ukrainization policy pursued by the national Communist leadership of Mykola Skrypnyk (1872-1933).<br />

===Holodomor===<br />
{{Main article|Ukrainian Famine}}<br />
[[Image:Holodomor2.jpg|right|thumb|Ukrainian victims of the Communist genocide of [[Holodomor]].]]<br />
The government-imposed famines of the 1930s, followed by the devastation of World War II, comprised a demographic disaster. Life expectancy at birth fell to a level as low as ten years for females and seven for males in 1933 and plateaued around 25 for females and 15 for males in the period 1941–44.<ref>Jacques Vallin; Meslé, France; Adamets, Serguei; and Pyrozhkov, Serhii. "A New Estimate of Ukrainian Population Losses During the Crises of the 1930s and 1940s." ''Population Studies'' (2002) 56(3): 249-264. Issn: 0032-4728 Fulltext in [[Jstor]]</ref><br />
<br />
When [[Joseph Stalin]], a native [[Republic of Georgia|Georgian]] assumed leadership of the [[Soviet Union]] in the late 1920s, the Soviet toleration of national identities came to an end. Systematic state terror of the 1930s destroyed writers, artists, and intellectuals; the Communist Party of Ukraine was purged of its "nationalist deviationists"; and the peasantry was crushed by means of collectivization, resulting in the [[Great Famine]] or "Holodomor" (Голодомор) of 1932–1933, which claimed some 3-7 million lives including Russians and others resident in the territory of Ukraine. Crops failed and remaining food stocks were forcibly removed by the government. Besides Ukraine, [[Kazakhstan]] and the Volga region were also hit by the famine. Stalin had full knowledge of the destructive force of the famine. It was a by-product of his war on the peasantry that began with collectivization and dekulakization and as an attempt to eradicate peasant culture in its entirety. Ellman explains the causes for the excess deaths in rural areas of Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan during 1931-34 by dividing the causes into three groups: objective nonpolicy-related factors, like the drought of 1931 and poor weather in 1932; inadvertent result of policies with other objectives, like rapid industrialization, socialization of livestock, and neglected crop rotation patterns; and deaths caused intentionally by a starvation policy. The Communist leadership perceived famine not as a humanitarian catastrophe but as a means of [[class struggle]] and used starvation as a punishment tool to teach peasants to work well in the collective farms.<ref>Michael Ellman, "The Role of Leadership Perceptions and of Intent in the Soviet Famine of 1931-1934." ''Europe-Asia Studies'' 2005 57(6): 823-841. Issn: 0966-8136 Fulltext in [[Ebsco]]</ref><br />
<br />
It was largely the same groups of individuals who were responsible for the mass killing operations during the civil war, collectivization, and the Great Terror. These groups were associated with Efim Georgievich Evdokimov (1891-1939) and operated in Ukraine during the civil war, in the North Caucasus in the 1920s, and in the Secret Operational Division within General State Political Administration (OGPU) in 1929–31. Evdokimov transferred into Communist Party administration in 1934, when he became Party secretary for North Caucasus Krai. But he appears to have continued advising Joseph Stalin and Nikolai Yezhov on security matters, and the latter relied on Evdokimov's former colleagues to carry out the mass killing operations that are known as the Great Terror in 1937–38.<ref>Stephen G.

In 1939, under the terms of the [[Nazi-Soviet Pact]], [[Galicia]] and Polish Volhynia were annexed to Soviet Ukraine. Northern Bukovina, formerly part of [[Romania]], was incorporated into Ukraine in 1940, as was formerly [[Czechoslovakia]]n Subcarpathian [[Ruthenia]] (the Transcarpathian Oblast) in 1945.<br />

Virtually all 20th century and early 21st century texts refer to the [[Operation Barbarossa|June 22, 1941]] Nazi invasion of "Russia" or "the Soviet Union". However, most of the fighting was in Ukraine. By far, of the 27 million "Russian" or "Soviet" [[civilian]] and [[military]] deaths referred to in [[English]] language histories of [[World War II]], most were killed in the territories of Ukraine. And it was [[Russian]] soldiers who liberated "the Ukraine", or "the borderlands", from Nazi occupation. Succinctly, Ukraine was World War Two's largest and deadliest battlefield.<br />
<br />
By mid-1941, the Ukrainian SSR had the largest population of [[Jews]] in Europe.<ref>See [[Wannsee Conference]]</ref> The addition of the eastern provinces of Poland in late 1939 as well as the seizure of sections of Romanian territory in June 1940 led to some 2.7 million Jews living within the borders of the newly enlarged republic.<ref>https://www.theholocaustexplained.org/life-in-nazi-occupied-europe/occupation-case-studies/ukraine/</ref> About 85% lived in cities. By 1944, 1.6 million of these Jews had died at the hands of the Germans and their allies and auxiliaries. Unlike the majority of the [[Holocaust]]'s victims who died in the industrialized mass murder of the death camps, the overwhelming bulk of Ukraine's Jews died in mass shootings during the initial stages of the war. <br />
[[File:WWII Ukrainian loyalty oath to Adolf Hitler.jpg|right|250px|thumb|'''Oath of Ukrainian soldiers during the Second World War.'''<br />

At any time, I am ready to give my life for the truth".]]<br />

The German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 was welcomed by many Ukrainians at first; the [[Stepan Bandera|OUN]] even attempted to establish a government under German auspices. Nazi ideologue Alfred Rosenberg (1893-1946) considered Ukraine a strategically important region that should be occupied through capturing the hearts and minds of the Ukrainians. According to Rosenberg, everything should have been done to make the Ukrainians view the Germans as liberators. Though he presented his views on different occasions, [[Adolf Hitler]]'s anti-Slavic racial views prevailed and overrode strategic considerations, leading to a harsh occupation. Very soon the realization that Nazi policies were brutal toward all the Ukrainians, and not only the Jews and Communists, drove most Ukrainians into opposition to the Nazis. Germany forced many Ukrainians to work within the so-called Reichskommissariat Ukraine (RKU) on tasks such as agriculture, road and railway building, and the construction of fortifications. The German authorities soon faced a serious local labor shortage, especially among skilled workers, as a result of Soviet evacuations before the invasion, the ongoing murder of the Jewish population, and the brutal recruitment, arrest, and deportation of other groups, usually with the cooperation of the local civilian, military, and police authorities. The pool of labor was further reduced as the Germans lost territory in the later stages of the conflict. Nazi administrator Fritz Sauckel's labor recruitment measures strained relations with local officials responsible for selecting the deportees, leading to bribery and corruption. The Kiev area was the main focus for recruitment and deportation, along with the Vinnitsa region of central Ukraine. Over a million locals and prisoners of war were forced into labor in the Ukrainian coal mines in the Donbas region ([[Donets Basin]]). The forced laborers endured fines, starvation, imprisonment, beatings, and hanging, but also had better chances for more food, money, and mobility.<br />
<br />
In Ukraine, Belarus, and western Russia the first stage of partisan development, from 1941 to the fall of 1942, was uncoordinated and resulted in a great many losses. The second stage, late 1942 to 1944, was better coordinated; partisan groups were better defined, and relatively large-scale operations were carried out, often in cooperation with the Red Army. Organized leadership and cadres were created, various forms of actions (such as diversions, sabotage, and direct attacks) were developed; the Germans responded with vicious punitive activities against the partisans. In all, more than 1.3 million partisans took part in actions in Germany's rear in 6,200 units; more than 300,000 received decorations for their actions. The OUN created a nationalist partisan fighting force, the [[Ukrainian Insurgent Army]] (UPA); many Ukrainians also joined the Soviet partisans and fought in the Soviet Army against the Germans. After World War II, the OUN and the UPA continued a hopeless guerrilla struggle against Soviet rule until 1953. The devastation caused by the war included major destruction in over 700 cities and towns and 28,000 villages.<br />
<br />
After 1945, Western Ukraine, the environs around [[Lvov]] (the former [[Austrian]] city of [[Lemberg]]), unlike [[East Germany]], was never fully de-nazified. The [[CIA]], created in 1947, in one of its first endeavors funded and equipped an armed [[Nazi]] insurgency that last until 1954.<br />
<br />
===Fascist insurgency: 1944-1954===<br />
[[File:SBandera.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Ukrainian nationalist leader [[Stepan Bandera]].]]<br />
In the June 1944, when Canadian, British and American soldiers were landing on the beaches of Normandy, their Soviet allies rolled into the German-occupied Western Ukraine. The Red Army soldiers and officers quickly noticed a stark contrast in the attitude of locals compared to other recently liberated regions of the Soviet Union. Instead of cheering crowds of peasant women and children who would offer them water and the traditional Slavic greeting of bread and salt, there was an eerie silence in many villages, and few locals would even talk to the new arrivals. Soon, chilling rumors started about murdered Red Army soldiers found hanged or decapitated in the woods. Rumors were soon followed by orders issued to troops stationed in the allegedly safe rear, far behind the frontline, to increase their vigilance, never to venture anywhere alone or unarmed, and to look out for “bandits” hiding in the forests. The [[NKVD]] (People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs – as the law enforcement agency of the Soviet Union between 1934 and 1946 was known) units that followed close behind the Red Army quickly proceeded with their routine practice of rounding up numerous suspected Nazi collaborators, as well as members of the Polish anti-Nazi underground, in Lviv and other west Ukrainian cities. However, a number of feared Soviet secret policemen were soon found dead in Ukrainian villages and Galician forests, and in some areas of the countryside those who dared to venture there had to be heavily armed and in large numbers. This was the start of a brutal insurgency that lasted almost ten years in rural Western Ukraine and resulted in one of the toughest counterinsurgency challenges the Soviets ever faced. <br />
<br />
When the [[CIA]] was created by the National Security Act in 1947, one of its top priorities was collaborating with the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists ([[Banderite]]s) to carry on an armed insurgency in western Ukraine against Soviet authorities which lasted until 1954. Many of these Banderite groups were former formations of the Nazi [[SS Galicia Division]] known for horrendous atrocities against Polish and Jewish civilians. Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, a Ukrainian himself, pacified the insurgency after Stalin's death and placed Russian Crimea, a famous resort area with a mild climate, under Kyiv administration. In 1948, the CIA report NSC 20/1, section 4: “US objectives with respect to Russia” warned that separating Ukraine from Russia will not work.<ref>http://www.sakva.ru/Nick/NSC_20_1.html</ref><br />
<br />
===Denazificatrion and reconstruction: 1954 to 1991===<br />
Stalin's death finally brought relief in many ways. The thaw initiated by [[Nikita Khrushchev]], who had served as Ukrainian party chief in the 1930s, led to the emergence in the late 1950s and the early 1960s of the "sixties generation" of writers, artists, and intellectuals. In order to mark the 300th anniversary of the Treaty of Pereyaslav, Khrushchev gave Crimea to Ukraine in 1954. Following Khrushchev's downfall in 1964, Moscow, under [[Leonid Brezhnev]] initiated a series of crackdowns on Ukrainian dissidents, including [[Ivan Dziuba]] (b. 1931), the author of Internationalism or Russification?; Vyacheslav Chornovil (b. 1938), the editor of the underground ''Ukrainian Herald''; and Valentyn Moroz (b. 1936), the author of stinging attacks on Soviet policy. In 1972, Petro Shelest, the national-Communist Ukrainian party chief, was replaced by hardliner Volodymyr Shcherbytsky.<br />
<br />
The Number Four reactor at Chernobyl exploded during a routine power test in April 1986. Radioactive contaminants from the [[Chernobyl]] disaster fell on northern Ukraine and several neighboring countries, reaching as far as Japan and the United States, causing casualties, sparking a major embarrassment for the Soviet Union, and inciting fears of nuclear energy.<ref>Jim T. Smith, and Nicholas A. Beresford, ''Chernobyl: Catastrophe and Consequences.'' Springer, 2005. 310 pp.</ref><br />
<br />
The arrival of [[Mikhail Gorbachev]] in 1985 started a slow revolution. The [[Chernobyl]] nuclear accident in 1986 undercut trust in Moscow. "Glasnost" permitted Ukrainian intellectuals to discuss the "blank spots" in their history, and growing political liberalization led to the reemergence of dissident groups and the emergence of nationally minded cultural organizations. A major turning point occurred in late 1989, with the founding of Rukh and the removal of Shcherbytsky from power.<br />
<br />
In the 47 years of Soviet control after the liberation of Ukraine from German occupation, the Soviet Union as never able to completely de-nazify Ukraine is it did in [[East Germany]].<br />
<br />
===Dissolution of the Soviet Union: 1991===<br />
{{See also|Nezalezhnaya}}<br />
In 1990 [[Leonid Kravchuk]], formerly in charge of ideology in the CPU, was appointed chairman of the presidium of a revamped supreme soviet, one fourth of whose deputies were nationalists and "democrats" elected in the semifree elections of 1990. On July 16, 1990, Ukraine proclaimed its sovereignty, an ambiguous formula that meant independence to the nationalists and autonomy to the Russian minority. On Nov. 21, 1990, Ukraine and Russia signed a treaty recognizing each other's sovereignty and promising not to interfere in each other's affairs.<br />
<br />
As the Communist system collapsed in 1991, Ukraine, Russia, and the other republics engaged in lengthy negotiations with Gorbachev over the form of a new union. In August 1991 an abortive coup by committed KGB operatives in Moscow destroyed Gorbachev's strength and impelled the republics to go their own way. The Ukraine national assembly declared independence on Aug. 24, 1991. Several days later the CPU was suspended and its property was confiscated. A popular referendum on independence was held on December 1, and over 90 percent of the voters supported the declaration. The "Yes" option won in every single Oblast, having the lower result in Crimea (54.19%) and Sevastopol City (57.07%) and the highest in Ternopil Oblast (98.67%). Most of the countries of the world recognized the new Republic of Ukraine in the months that followed. Ukraine became a member of the Council on Security and Cooperation in Europe, the International Monetary Fund, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and after much controversy a member of NATO's Partnership for Peace (PfP) program in 1994. As a consequence of the autonomous republics system, Ukraine became a second [[Yugoslavia]].<ref>https://orientalreview.org/2014/09/15/eight-reasons-why-ukraine-is-new-yugoslavia/</ref> <br />
<br />
The nominal successor to the Soviet Union was the Commonwealth of Independent States; Ukraine joined on Dec. 8, 1991. Serious tensions soon emerged with Russia as Moscow took possession of the [[Black Sea]] fleet anchored at Sevastopol, while some Russian politicians wanted the [[Donbas]] and the Crimea; the latter, being in Russian hands since 1783, had been transferred to Ukraine by the Soviet authorities without referendum or self-determination of peoples in 1954. The Ukrainian government responded by taking steps to create its own army and navy. Crimean secessionists elected Yuri Meshkov as president of the Crimea in early 1994. The Kiyv government established closer economic and political ties with Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary. Ukrainian nationalists fears of Russia led it to postpone action on its earlier promise to give up strategic nuclear missiles, prompting concern in the West. After the signing the Budapest Memorandum by the presidents of Ukraine, Russia, and the United States in early 1994, Ukraine began shipping these weapons to Russia. Thereafter, Ukraine's relations with the United States and western Europe improved.<br />
<br />
[[Leonid Kravchuk]], the most powerful politician, became Ukraine's first popularly elected president, with over 60 percent of the vote, on Dec. 1, 1991. His authority, like that of the legislature, declined precipitously, however, as he proved unable to solve the country's mounting economic difficulties. In contrast to Rukh, which had split into pro-Kravchuk and anti-Kravchuk factions in 1992, the former Communists remained strong, controlling many local government councils, industrial plants, and collective farms. The CPU was officially reconstituted as a powerful political force in late 1993. Ukrainian [[neo-Nazi]]s also become more prominent. Elections for the supreme soviet in March 1994 yielded a legislature in which the CPU and its left-wing allies were the strongest bloc, followed by the center-right nationalists grouped about what remained of Rukh and the centrist pro-government "independents." Kravchuk ran for reelection in the presidential election in June 1994. No candidate won a majority, so a second round was held in July, pitting Kravchuk against former premier [[Leonid Kuchma]]. Kuchma won the election with 52 percent of the vote.<br />
[[File:Ukrainian contractors in Afghanistan.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Although not a member of NATO, Ukrainian contractors served as part of [[George W. Bush]]s "coalition of the willing" in the [[Afghan war]]. The [[Biden regime]] abandoned them in [[Afghanistan]] in August 2021, along with contractors from Bulgaria, Romania, and the Georgian Republic. The Russian Federation evacuated them.<ref>https://www.brighteon.com/200d714d-92c4-445e-b42e-a67fab991fd3</ref>]]<br />
The national goal was the creation of a market-oriented economy and the establishment of stable democratic institutions and a system of laws. However the goals were partly frustrated by political deadlock, inexperience, an inefficient state apparatus, a collapsing economy, internal anti-Russian [[xenophobia]], and external tensions with the Russian Federation. The Soviet culture of corruption continued after independence, and rampant criminality became even more widespread in the mid-1990s. In the latter 1990s, [[Viktor Yushchenko]], as chairman of the National Bank of Ukraine, tamed rampant inflation and introduced responsible economic controls. From 1999 to 2004, Ukraine's GNP nearly doubled.<br />
<br />
Official trade unions have been grouped under the Federation of Trade Unions. A number of independent unions, which emerged during 1992, among them the Independent Union of Miners of Ukraine, have formed the Consultative Council of Free Trade Unions. While the right to strike is legally guaranteed, strikes based solely on political demands are prohibited. <br />
<br />
Ethnic tensions in [[Crimea]] during 1992 prompted a number of pro-Russian political organizations to advocate secession of Crimea and reincorporation to Russia. (Crimea was ceded by the RFSSR to the Ukrainian SSR in 1954, in recognition of historic links and for economic convenience, to mark the 300th anniversary of Ukraine's union with Russia.) In July 1992, the Crimean and Ukrainian parliaments determined that Crimea would remain under Ukrainian jurisdiction while retaining significant cultural and economic autonomy. <br />
<br />
In July 1994, [[Leonid Kuchma]] was elected as Ukraine's second president in free and fair elections. Kuchma was reelected in November 1999 to another five-year term, with 56% of the vote. International observers criticized aspects of the election, especially slanted media coverage; however, the outcome of the vote was not called into question. Ukraine's March 2002 parliamentary elections were characterized by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) as flawed, but an improvement over the 1998 elections. The pro-presidential For a United Ukraine bloc won the largest number of seats, followed by the reformist Our Ukraine bloc of Viktor Yushchenko (who was then a former Prime Minister), and the Communist Party.<br />
<br />
===Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances: 1994===<br />
{{See also|Near abroad}}<br />
At the time of Ukraine's independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine held the third largest nuclear arsenal in the world, including an estimated 1,800 strategic warheads, 176 long-range ballistic missiles, and 42 strategic bombers. <br />
<br />
To solidify security commitments to Ukraine, the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom signed the December 5, 1994 [[Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances]]. The memorandum included assurances against the threat or use of force against Ukraine's territory or political independence. The countries promised to respect the sovereignty and existing borders of Ukraine. <br />
<br />
The United States took custody and control of Ukraine's obsolete nuclear stockpiles for disposal in exchange for assurances by the United States and NATO to safeguard Ukraine's independence. Ukraine was coaxed to give up it nuclear weapons in exchange for a written pledge, should Ukraine ever be threatened or invaded, the United States would be there to intervene with military power.<br />
<br />
By 1996, Ukraine had returned all of its operational nuclear warheads to Russia in exchange for economic aid and security assurances, and Ukraine became a non-nuclear weapon state party to the 1968 nuclear [[Nonproliferation Treaty]] (NPT). The last strategic nuclear delivery vehicle in Ukraine was eliminated in 2001 under the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START). It took years of political maneuvering and diplomatic work, starting with the Lisbon Protocol in 1992, to remove the weapons and nuclear infrastructure from Ukraine.<ref>[https://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/Ukraine-Nuclear-Weapons ]</ref><br />
<br />
===Goverment 1991 - 2014===<br />
By the time the territory of Ukraine was separated from the former Soviet Union in 1992, its landmass ranked as the world's 17th largest in Gross Domestic Product with no attributable foreign debt. The Russian Federation paid off the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic's share of the USSR foreign debt — as it did for other former Soviet republics. At the beginning of 2020, after exploitation by Western oligarchs, Ukraine's debt to mostly Western foreigners exceeded $125 billion. In terms of GDP per capita, Ukraine ranked last among European countries. By 2021, Ukraine showed the highest level of corruption among European countries.<br />
<br />
Ukraine’s 'Orange Revolution' (2004) and 'Euromaidan' or 'Revolution of Dignity' (2014) both started at the central 'Maidan' square in Kiev, as had the earlier <br />
'Revolution on Granite' (1990), and the word maidan is nowadays often applied to any massive anti-government street protests not only in Ukraine but in other post-Soviet countries as well.<br />
<br />
===Post-Soviet era===<br />

In 1991, a referendum was held with 92% voting for independence from the Soviet Union. On December 25th of the same year, the USSR officially dissolved and Ukraine was internationally recognized.<br />
<br />
Under President Kravchuk (1991–1994), [[hyperinflation]] peaked at 10,155% in 1993, devastating the [[economy]] and creating fertile ground for [[corruption]]. Privatization of state owned enterprises rapidly built a hyper rich, hyper corrupt, hyper [[violent]] [[oligarchy]]. <br />

A cultural Decommunization process began.<ref name=Marples/> Since the Holodomor is present in the national memory, many ethnic Ukrainians are very [[Anticommunist]] and have torn down several statues of the [[Marxist]] [[Dictator]], [[Vladimir Lenin]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://news.artnet.com/art-world/patriotic-ukrainians-tear-down-lenin-statue-116479|publisher=artnet|date=September 29, 2014|title=Patriotic Ukrainians Tear Down Lenin Statue}}</ref> or transforming them into characters such as [[Darth Vader]].<ref name=DarthVader/> The country has removed all 1,320 statues of Lenin.

===Failed US-backed color revolution: 2004===<br />
{{see also|Color revolution|USAID|National Endowment for Democracy|Psyop}}<br />
<br />
Kuchma's second term in office as president (1999-2004) was characterized by the collapse of the national democratic-centrist alliance, the "Kuchmagate" crisis, the rise of a non-Communist opposition in the 2002 elections, and the election of [[Viktor Yushchenko]] in 2004 following the [[Open Society Foundations]]' [[Orange Revolution]]. The deep divisions that have become evident under Yushchenko had their origins in Ukraine's regionalism, the "Kuchmagate" crisis, antiregime protests, and different attitudes to dealing with the past. The country is divided by linguistic and regional cleavages that appear sharply in regional polarization in national elections. These divisions have led to constant questioning of the viability of the Ukrainian state and predictions of violence and civil war. Secessionist movements have made few inroads, however, and violence has been nonexistent. Because the Russian "minority" group in Ukraine is actually quite large, it has immense influence in the state without resort to regional autonomy or secession. The balance of power between Ukraine's regions and ethnic groups has ensured that neither side has dominated. This does not make for rapid reform.<br />
<br />
The campaign leading to the October 31, 2004 presidential election was characterized by widespread violations of democratic norms, including government intimidation of the opposition and of [[independent media]], abuse of state administrative resources, highly skewed media coverage, and numerous provocations. The two major candidates—Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych and opposition leader (and former Prime Minister) Viktor Yushchenko—each garnered between 39% and 40% of the vote and proceeded to a winner-take-all second round. The November 21 runoff election was marred by credible reports of widespread and significant violations, including illegal expulsion of opposition representatives from election commissions, multiple voting by busloads of people, abuse of absentee ballots, reports of coercion of votes in schools and prisons, and an abnormally high number of (easily manipulated) mobile ballot box votes. Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets of Kyiv and other cities to protest electoral fraud and express support for Yushchenko, and conducted ongoing peaceful demonstrations during what came to be known as the "Orange Revolution." <br />
<br />
The [[OSCE]] International Election Observation Mission found that the November 21, 2004 run-off presidential election "did not meet a considerable number of OSCE commitments and [[Council of Europe]] and other European standards for democratic elections…Overall, State executive authorities and the Central Election Commission (CEC) displayed a lack of will to conduct a genuine democratic election process." Other independent observers were similarly critical. On November 24, 2004, the CEC declared Prime Minister Yanukovych the winner with 49.46% compared to 46.61% for Yushchenko. The U.S. and Europe refused to accept the result as legitimate due to the numerous, uninvestigated reports of fraud. European leaders traveled to Kyiv to mediate a political solution between the parties. On November 27, Ukraine's Supreme Rada passed a resolution declaring that the election results as announced did not represent the will of the people. On December 1, the Rada passed a vote of "no confidence" in the government. On December 3, Ukraine's Supreme Court invalidated the CEC's announced results and mandated a repeat of the second round vote to take place on December 26. An agreement mediated by the European leaders resulted in new legislation being passed by the Rada and signed by the President December 8. The electoral law was reformed to close loopholes that ha+d permitted pervasive electoral fraud. The constitution was amended, effective not earlier than September 2005, to transfer power, especially with respect to appointment of ministers, from the president to the cabinet. Yet another law was passed, in first reading, to devolve some powers of the central government to regional councils. In addition, Prime Minister Yanukovych requested and was granted a leave of absence, and Prosecutor General Hennadiy Vasilyev submitted his resignation. <br />

The December 26 re-vote took place in an atmosphere of calm. While irregularities were noted, observers found no systemic or massive fraud. The OSCE Mission noted that "campaign conditions were markedly more equal, observers received fewer reports of pressure on voters, the election administration was more transparent and the media more balanced than in previous rounds…in our collective view Ukraine’s elections have moved substantially closer to meeting OSCE and other European standards." On January 10, 2005, after the CEC and the Supreme Court had considered and rejected numerous complaints and appeals filed by the Yanukovych campaign, the CEC certified the results: Yushchenko had won 51.99% of the votes, with 44.20% for Yanukovych. President Yushchenko was inaugurated January 23, 2005.<br />
<br />
US-installed Yushchenko implemented economic austerity, slashed regulations and social spending, bailed out criminal banks, broke open state industry and natural resources for foreign plunder, attacked the rights of Russian speakers, and began preparing the country for locally-feared [[NATO]] membership. Within just nine months of entering office, his [[coalition]] government - comprised of Orange Revolution activists - collapsed due to deeply [[corrupt]] battles with feuding Ukrainian [[oligarch]]s over control of key [[media]] and [[industrial]] assets. Yushchenko was voted out in the January 2010 presidential election, finishing fifth in the first round with just 5.5% of the vote. <br />
<br />
Ukraine held parliamentary and local elections on March 26, 2006. International observers noted that conduct of the Rada election was in line with international standards for democratic elections, making this the most free and fair in Ukraine's history. Unlike the first rounds of the 2004 presidential election, candidates and parties were able to express themselves freely in a lively press and assembled without hindrance. There was no systemic abuse of administrative resources as there had been under the previous regime. The Party of Regions and the bloc of former Prime Minister Tymoshenko, whose government the President dismissed in September 2005, finished ahead of the pro-presidential Our Ukraine bloc. Other parties passing the 3% threshold to enter parliament were the Socialist Party of Ukraine and the Communist Party of Ukraine. No party held the majority of Rada seats needed to form a government. Following four months of difficult negotiations, a government led by Prime Minister Yanukovych and including representatives from the Party of Regions, Our Ukraine, and the Socialist Party took office on August 4, 2006. This, the first government formed after the extensive constitutional amendments brokered as part of the Orange Revolution, has been the focus the Prime Minister's growing influence, sometimes at the expense of the President. Amid shifting political alliances, the "Anti-Crisis Coalition" formed by the Party of Regions, Socialist and Communist parties has grown into a "Coalition of National Unity," as some members of the pro-presidential "Our Ukraine" bloc have moved into the Prime Minister's camp. Meanwhile, others have joined forces with Bloc [[Yuliya Tymoshenko]].<br />
<br />
===Pre-Maidan regime===<br />
<br />
Prior to the Maidan coup Ukraine had a parliamentary-presidential system of government with separate executive, judicial, and legislative branches. The president nominates the defense and foreign ministers, and the Prosecutor General and Chief of the State Security Service ([[SBU]]), each of whom must be confirmed by the parliament. Beginning in 2006, the 450-member unicameral parliament (Supreme Rada) names the prime minister, who in turn nominates other ministers. The Supreme Rada initiates legislation, ratifies international agreements, and approves the budget. Its members are elected to five-year terms. Following free elections held on December 1, 1991, Leonid M. Kravchuk, former chairman of the Ukrainian Rada, was elected to a five-year term, and became Ukraine's first president. At the same time, a referendum on dissolution from the Soviet Union was approved by more than 90% of the voters. <br />
<br />
Shortly after splitting off from the Soviet Union, Ukraine named a parliamentary commission to prepare a new constitution, adopted a multi-party system, and adopted legislative guarantees of civil and political rights for national minorities. A new, constitution was adopted on June 28, 1996, which mandates a pluralistic political system with protection of basic human rights and liberties. Amendments that took effect January 1, 2006, shifted significant powers from the president to the prime minister and Supreme Rada. These reforms were nullified and rescinded by President Volodymyr Zelensky and the fascist-dominated parliament in March 2022 with the banning of opposition parties, imposition of censorship, and arrest, detention, and assassination of pollical opponents and dissidents.<br />
<br />
Freedom of religion was guaranteed by law by the 1996 constitution, although religious organizations were required to register with local authorities and with the central government. Minority rights were respected in accordance with a 1991 law guaranteeing ethnic minorities the right to schools and cultural facilities and the use of national languages in conducting personal business until the U.S.-backed Maidan regime began a policy of extermination and removal of ethnic Russian citizens and Russian culture from public life. According to the constitution, Ukrainian is the only official state language. <br />
<br />
Freedom of speech and press were guaranteed by law and by the constitution, and post-Soviet era authorities generally did respect these rights until the rise of the fascist Maidan regime. Prior to the "Orange Revolution," however, authorities sometimes interfered with the news media through intimidation and other forms of pressure. In particular, the failure of the government to conduct a thorough, credible, and transparent investigation into the 2000 disappearance and murder of independent journalist Heorhiy Gongadze, in which then-government officials have been credibly implicated, negatively affected Ukraine's international image. Freedom of the media and respect for citizens’ rights have increased markedly since the government of President [[Viktor Yushchenko]] took office in January 2005. During the final months of his Presidency, Yuschenko made the following declaration:<br />
{{Cquote|In conclusion I would like to say something that is long awaited by the Ukrainian patriots for many years I have signed a decree for the unbroken spirit and standing for the idea of fighting for independent Ukraine. I declare [[Stepan Bandera]] a national hero of Ukraine.}}<br />

The Maidan regime, or Nazi Ukraine, outlawed political opposition parties in 2022 and arrested members of parliament. Additionally, it implemented draconian measures against all opposition including arrests, disappearances, beatings, public humiliation, and murder. There is no free press in Ukraine, and Ukrainian security services has gone so far as to hunt down critics of the regime outside its borders.<br />
<br />
With the U.S.-backed overthrow of the democratically elected government in 2014, foreign capital and investors invaded the country causing the collapse of Ukrainian "mom-and-pop" enterprises which flourished after 1991, creating widespread poverty and unemployment, making resource rich Ukraine the poorest nation in Europe.<br />
<br />
{{Anchor|Ukrainian Nazis}}<br />
The U.S.-backed coup brought to power neo-Nazis, which Western media dubbed "moderate rebels". Extrajudicial killings, harassment, arbitrary detentions by the [[Security Service of Ukraine]], beatings and disappearances take place on a regular basis. Repressive measures accelerated and became even more brutal after anti-democratic dictator Volodymyr Zelensky declared martial law in February 2022. In April 2022, Efraim Zuroff, the Director of the [[Simon Wiesenthal|Simon Wiesenthal Center]] in [[Israel]] said, “There is no doubt that there are neo-Nazis in Ukraine in various forms, whether in the Azov Regiment or other organizations,” he added.<ref>https://www.b92.net/eng/news/world.php?yyyy=2022&mm=04&dd=14&nav_id=113531</ref> The Ukrainian authorities and deputized ultra-nationalist groups seek out people who openly expressed political views on the former post-Soviet government as well as criticism of the current U.S.-backed Maidan regime. Threats, harassment and calls for violence have been and continue to be made against those who:<br />
*publicly supported the [[Minsk Agreements]],<br />
*are against “de-communization”,<br />
*highlight human rights abuses,<br />
*advocate for a settlement of the Donbas conflict,<br />
*are deemed to be “pro-Russian”,<br />
*church representatives and clergy,<br />
*read news in Russian.<br />

Add into this maelstrom another layer of extrajudicial repression, in the form of impromptu justice being meted out to civilians, bound up, tied to posts,<ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/4CshCEPBhZQI/</ref><ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/wlCFEDxkZz3T/</ref> beaten, humiliated and even killed by lower level Nazi groups in the "Territorial Defense".<ref>https://youtu.be/OAyWmOcj0q8</ref><ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/MtOig6UsjC72/</ref><ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/VMS5cET98HOU/</ref><ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/w1zvj2TAyWhL/</ref><ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/SIf9NgzIi4fG/</ref> There are simply hundreds and hundreds of video clips and photos showing these events. People are not only being tied up to street posts as suspected looters, but people are being bound up or arrested for being pro-Russian, for not being able to pronounce the word ''Palyanytsya'' (bread) in Ukrainian. Not every ethnic Russian speaker in Ukraine can speak good Ukrainian, and some have trouble pronouncing certain words in Ukrainian. People have been reportedly killed for not pronouncing the shibboleth word correctly and thus assumed to be part of subversive Russian reconnaissance groups.<ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/7OZHz7ncIRb1/</ref><br />
<br />
The so-called "international community” has expressed no interest or desire to take a closer look at this disturbing situation in Ukraine and in fact has supported the fascist regime with money, weapons and military training. A highly repressive with systematic serious human rights abuses committed against civilians, by members of the military and police, has not been an impediment to being part of the European and NATO family.<br />

After the Maidan coup, the ''[[New York Times]]'' reported in April 2017 that [[North Korea]] obtained its [[ballistic missile]] [[technology]] with the ability to strike the continental Western United States from the NATO puppet state of "democratic" Ukraine, in violation of non-proliferation treaties..<ref>[https://archive.is/nckTN#selection-341.0-341.52 North Korea’s Missile Success Is Linked to Ukrainian Plant, Investigators Say], By William J.

<br />
2010 [[Viktor Yanukovych]] and his pro-Russian "Party of Regions" won the free, fair and [[democracy|democratic]] elections certified by the [[Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe]] (OSCE). In a 2013, an [[Obama administration]]-backed [[color revolution]] was unleashed, in which the Ukrainians nationalists protested against Yanukovych and wanted a pro-[[EU]] and [[NATO]] course by the government.<ref>http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/vladimir-tismaneanu/ukrainian-people-power/</ref> These protests were dubbed "[[EuroMaidan]]".<ref>http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/arnold-ahlert/putin-vs-pro-west-ukrainians/</ref> The key figures of the opposition were [[Victoria Nuland]], [[Yulia Tymoshenko]], [[Vitali Klitschko]] and neo-Nazi [[Oleh Tyahnybok]]. As a result, prime minister [[Mykola Azarov]] resigned<ref>https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-25932352</ref> and Yanukovich was discontinued on February 22, 2014, by the parliament.<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/02/22/ukrainian-protesters-claim-control-over-capital/</ref><br />
<br />
In response to the armed fascist coup of a democratically elected president, Russian soldiers landed in Crimea the same month. Because many of the people living in Crimea are ethnic Russians, there was an ongoing dispute whether Crimea belongs to Ukraine or to [[Russia]].<ref>https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/obama-warns-russia-over-military-moves-crimea</ref> On March 11, 2014, Crimea declared its independence from the illegally US-installed Ukrainian regime.<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2578160/Ukraines-fugitive-president-blasts-bandit-regime-says-country-heading-civil-war.html</ref> On March 16, 2014, Russia sponsored a referendum in Crimea about joining Russia. As a result of it 95.5% of voters supported joining Russia.<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26599776</ref> The decision of the voters was ratified by the Russian Duma. Since March 18, 2014, Russia claims Crimea as a part of its territory.<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/03/18/russia-moves-to-annex-crimea-laughs-at-us-sanctions/</ref> [[Afghanistan]], [[Cuba]], [[Nicaragua]], [[North Korea]], [[Russia]], [[Syria]] and [[Venezuela]] recognized Crimea as a part of Russia.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/24/world/asia/breaking-with-the-west-afghan-leader-supports-russias-annexation-of-crimea.html?ref=asia&_r=1</ref> <br />
<br />
In response, the United States and Europe imposed the [[Magnitsky Act]] sanctions sponsored by Sen. [[John McCain]] against Russian trade. <br />
<br />
As a result of the reincorporation of Crimea, the [[Donetsk People's Republic]] and the [[Lugansk People's Republic]] declared their independence and created a confederation called "[[Novorossiya|Federal State of Novorossiya]]".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140607011548/http://voiceofrussia.com/news/2014_05_24/Donetsk-Lugansk-Peoples-Republics-unite-in-Novorossiya-1012/]</ref> Novorossiya was dissolved in May 2015 but the separate Lugansk and Donetsk People's Republics however still exist.

On February 21, 2014, President Yanukovych signed an agreement with the leaders of the parliamentary opposition that he would not seek re-election the following February since his removal was the protesters primary demand. German Foreign Minister [[Frank-Walter Steinmeier]], Polish Foreign Minister [[Radosław Sikorski]], a head of department of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Russian observer Vladimir Lukin were witnesses. It was hoped the agreement with opposition leaders would bring ton an end the crisis situation in Ukraine.<ref>[https://www.salon.com/2014/02/25/is_the_us_backing_neo_nazis_in_ukraine_partner/ Is the US backing neo-Nazis in Ukraine?], By MAX BLUMENTHAL, FEBRUARY 25, 2014.</ref><br />
<br />
In the evening of the same day, on Maidan Square, the radicals rejected the agreement. Threatening an armed offensive, the extremists demanded that Viktor Yanukovych leave the presidency before 10 a.m. on the morning of the 22nd. The leader of the neo-fascist Pravy Sektor, [[Dmitri Yarosh]] claimed that his militants would continue the violent uprising until Yanukovych resigned.<br />
[[File:Neocon cookie monster Victoria Nuland and Pyatt.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Amidst the slaughter on Maidan Square, neocon cookie monster Victoria Nuland hands out cookies. Behind her is State Dept. psycho Geoffrey Pyatt.]]<br />
Soon the security forces were withdrawn from the government quarter. This was taken advantage of by [[revolution]]ary militants, deciding not to wait for the expiration of their announced deadline. Neo-nazi [[activist]]s and participants of the "[[Maidan Self-Defense]]" stormed the Presidential Administration, Parliament, the Cabinet of Ministers, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. On the evening of February 21, 2022 Yanukovych, together with the heads of the Verkhovna Rada and the presidential administration – Volodymyr Rybak and Andriy Kliuyev – fled Kiev to [[Crimea]] for their own personal safety. Throughout Ukraine, massacres unfolded between supporters and opponents of the U.S.-appointed [[Maidan junta]].<br />
<br />
====Unconstitutional impeachment====<br />
According to the procedure of impeachment defined in Article 111 of the Constitution of Ukraine, the Rada must establish a special investigatory commission to formulate charges against the president, seek evidence to justify the charges and come to conclusions about the president's guilt for the Rada to consider. To find the president guilty, at least two-thirds of Rada members must assent.<br />
<br />
Prior to a final vote to remove the president from power, the procedure requires<br />
<br />
*the Constitutional Court of Ukraine to review the case and certify that the constitutional procedure of investigation and consideration has been followed, and<br />
<br />
*the Supreme Court of Ukraine to certify that the acts of which the President is accused are worthy of impeachment.<br />
<br />
To remove the president from power, at least three-quarters of Rada members must assent.<br />
<br />
The Rada didn't make any pretense of following this procedure. No investigatory commission was established, and the Courts were not involved.<ref>https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/david-morrison/president-yanukovych_b_7647102.html</ref> On 22 February 2014, the Rada simply passed a resolution purporting to remove Yanukovych from office in accordance with the Constitution.<br />
<br />
The constitutionality of Yanukovych's removal from office has been questioned by constitutional experts.<ref>{{cite web|title=Yanukovych's removal was unconstitutional|url=https://gpforecasts.wordpress.com/2014/02/28/yanukovychs-removal-was-unconstitutional/|website=wordpress.com|date=March 2014|access-date=}}</ref> According to Daisy Sindelar from Radio Free Europe, the impeachment may have not followed the procedure provided by the constitution: "[I]t is not clear that the hasty February 22 vote upholds constitutional guidelines, which call for a review of the case by Ukraine's Constitutional Court and a three-fourths majority vote by the Verkhovna Rada -- i.e., 338 lawmakers." The vote, as analyzed by Sindelar, had ten votes less than those required by the constitutional guidelines. The decision to remove Yanukovich was supported by 328 deputies. Article 11 maintains that a vote on impeachment must pass by two-thirds of the members, and the impeachment itself requires a vote by three-quarters of the members. In this case, the 328 out of 447 votes were about 10 votes short of three-quarters.<ref name="RadioFreeEurope">{{cite web|last=Sindelar |first=Daisy |url=http://www.rferl.org/content/was-yanukovychs-ouster-constitutional/25274346.html |title=Was Yanukovych's Ouster Constitutional? |publisher=Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty (Rferl.org) |date=23 February 2014 |access-date=}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|work=Kyiv Post |url=http://www.kyivpost.com/content/kyiv/euromaidan-rallies-in-ukraine-feb-21-live-updates-337287.html |title=Parliament votes 328–0 to impeach Yanukovych on Feb. 22; sets May 25 for new election; [[Tymoshenko]] free (LIVE UPDATES, VIDEO) |date=23 February 2014 |access-date=}}</ref><br />

====Korsun massacre====<br />
<br />
On February 19, 2014, eight busloads of people from Crimea, who had come into Ukraine's capital Kyiv and were holding signs there demonstrating in opposition to the Maidan movement, were violently attacked by Pravy Sektor people who were leading the Maidan movement; and those terrified Crimeans then scrambled back into their buses, which promptly sped southward, home toward Crimea.<br />
[[File:Korsun massacre 2-20-2014.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Massacre of Russian Crimeans at Korsun by the Pravy Sektor, February 19, 2022.]] <br />
The buses were fired upon and stopped at barricades near the town of Korsun-Shevchenkovsky (Cherkassy region) where flags of the [[UPA]], the [[UDAR]] (Strike) party and AUU Svoboda were flying. Both men and women were dragged out of the buses through a corridor of militants who beat them with bats and entrenching shovels. The passengers were knocked down in a heap on the roadside, doused with <br />
gasoline, and threatened to be set on fire. According to witnesses, militants from the crowd shouted: "Just wait, we’re going to come and get you in Crimea. We are going to stab you and shoot you, that is, those of you who we haven’t already beaten to a pulp and shot up yet". Many Crimeans were forced to take off their shoes "for the needs of Maidan soldiers", and driven around the buses like cattle and forced to pick up the broken glass. The humiliation and abuse continued for several hours. There were casualties among the victims. Most of the buses were burned. The local police, who arrived at the scene, did not intervene.<br />
<br />
The Ukraine Human Rights organization posted to the internet on August 14, 2014, a 25-minute video, with English subtitles, telling these people's stories. It's titled ''The Pogrom of Korsun'',<ref>https://youtu.be/loKajkXoTBU</ref> and it reports, with testimony and some of the videos from survivors, the attacks against those buses when a gang of Ukraine's Right Sector members caught up with those escaping Crimeans, near the Ukrainian town of Korsun.<br />
<br />
Private cellphone videos that were taken of these incidents were shown in the compilation by Ukraine Human Rights, but one other striking cellphone video, which was posted to YouTube on August 15, 2014, isn't fully available anymore, and it showed the view from the rear seat of a car as it was approaching a blockage, and the blocked buses, some of which were aflame. A few car-drivers were standing watching at a distance, while the Right Sector people beat and killed Crimeans alongside their buses.<ref>https://archive.ph/pgUkP#selection-719.0-719.16</ref><br />

The Pro-Russia camp won with 95% of the vote. The UN General Assembly, led by the US, voted to ignore the referendum results on the grounds that it was contrary to Ukraine's constitution. This same constitution had been set aside to oust [[President Yanukovych]] a month earlier.<ref>https://fair.org/home/what-you-should-really-know-about-ukraine/</ref> <br />
<br />
In response to the annexation, Sen. [[John McCain]] introduced the [[Magnitsky Act]] granting the president power to impose sanctions against persons anywhere in the world at his discretion. On March 6, 2015, the German government expressed concern over Washington warhawks aggressive stance toward resolving crisis in Ukraine, and accused Obama's NATO commander of using false data to inflate and exaggerate size of "Russian threat".<ref>http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/germany-concerned-about-aggressive-nato-stance-on-ukraine-a-1022193.html</ref><br />

According to eyewitnesses the Maidan fascists outnumbered the anti-Kyiv protesters 10 to 1. First the Maidan activists burnt down the tents of anti-Kiev regime protesters outside the building. The anti-Kiev protesters retreated into the building and tried to blockade the door. A group of Maidan girls filled up Molotov cocktails.<ref>https://archive.fo/29yFk</ref> The Maidan protesters began throwing Molotov cocktails. Soon the building was engulfed in flames. A Maidan activist was shooting at people trying to escape from the windows.<ref>https://youtu.be/s-bpkx0d1fM</ref> The Maidan fascist crowd began cheering as they set the building ablaze and beat those who tried to escape.<ref>[https://youtu.be/wuOptWUTR3w Odessa, Ukraine: Right sector attacks trade union building, kills 43], Ukraine Human Rights</ref> A fire station less than a kilometer away couldn't respond.

<br />
Some eyewitnesses claim the real number is over a hundred. The bodies were removed and buried in secret. Survivors of the fire inside the building were executed with bullets to the head. Some were beaten to death with clubs when they jumped from windows of the burning building. A pregnant woman was strangled.<ref>https://archive.fo/Gt4UV</ref> The Western-backed Kyiv regime covered up the atrocities, most victims being ethnic Russian citizens of Ukraine. Sixteen months later after conducting in independent outside investigation, the United Nation's Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights condemned the Kyiv regime's [[cover-up]] of the [[mass murder]] at the Odessa Trade Unions Building.<ref>http://www.ohchr.org/en/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=16460&LangID=E</ref><br />
<br />
The Maidan regime failed to investigate and prosecute any neo-Nazi [[murderer]]s who burnt alive at least 48 ethnic and cultural Russians in [[Odessa massacre]] on May 2, 2014.<br />
<br />
====Economic impact of coup====<br />
After the 2014 coup Ukraine and Russia severed economic ties leading to a shutdown of high value-added manufacturing that had been geared to the Russian market.<br />
<br />
This included the shuttering of national flagship industries such as the Yuzhmash space rocket and engine plant in [[Dnepropetrovsk]], which had employed tens of thousands, as well as the Nikolaev shipyard, and the Motor Sich helicopter engine plant in Zaporozhye. Also, whatever was left of the Antonov concern in the Kiev area, to name the biggest and best-known.<br />
<br />
Some of these and other factories were partially converted, on a small scale, to produce lower-end military hardware, which the state bought with American money. Many other industries (e.g., electromechanical parts and instruments, building materials, processed foods, etc.) lost their Russian market, and their wares and produce was not wanted in Europe. Some of these enterprises survived, but shrunk. in doing so. <br />
<br />
As the higher-value-added industries and all other exports to Russia shut down, the knock-on effects were felt in other sectors (e.g., services, construction), pulling down everything. The Kyiv regime was intent on selling off state owned or subsidized enterprises to foreign investors and driving local Mom n Pop enterprises out of business to make way for Western producers, wholesalers, retailers, and chain franchises. <br />
<br />
Overall, the economy shrank by about half. Many people, mostly young people of working age, left the country. Between the loss of territories in 2014, natural deaths, male and female emigration between 2014 and 2021, Ukraine lost at least 12 million of its 46 million residents. Ukrainians have a word for those who have left the country in search of work and fortune elsewhere - ''zarobitchany''. Since 2014, at least 6 million males of military service age have been living in Russia, Poland, Italy, Czechia, Germany, Spain, Hungary, Slovakia, Portugal, UK, etc. Not more than 65,000 ever returned to serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine after 2021.<br />

===Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists===<br />
The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists-Bandera (OUNb) worked hard to start a war between the US and Russia for the last 50 years. According to the ''Ukrainian Weekly'' in a rare open statement of their existence in 2011, “Other statements were issued in the Ukrainian language by the leadership of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (B) and the International Conference in Support of Ukraine. The [[OUN|OUN (Bandera wing)]] called for." OUNb follow the same political policy and platform that was developed in the 1930s by '''[[Stepan Bandera]]'''. When these people go to a '''[[Holocaust]] memorial they are celebrating both the dead and the OUNb [[SS]] that killed.'''<ref>http://www.infoukes.com/galiciadivision/</ref> The OUNb have no concept of democratic values and want an [[authoritarian]] [[fascism]].<br />

Andrea Chalupa-2014, in a ''Huff Post'' article Sept. 1 2016, Andrea Chalupa described Sviatoslav Yurash as one of Ukraine's important “dreamers.” He is a young activist that founded Euromaidan Press. Beyond the gushing glow what she doesn't say is who he actually is. Sviatoslav Yurash was [[Dmitri Yarosh]]'s spokesman just after Maidan. He is a hardcore Ukrainian nationalist and was rewarded with the deputy director position for the UWC (Ukrainian World Congress) in Kiev.<br />

<br />
In January, 2014 when he showed up at the Maidan protests he was 17 years old. He became the foreign language media representative for [[Vitali Klitschko]], [[Arseni Yatsenyuk]], and Oleh Tyahnybok.

<br />
At 18 years old, Sviatoslav Yurash became the spokesman for Ministry of Defense of Ukraine under [[Andrei Paruby]]. He was Dimitri Yarosh's spokesman and can be seen either behind Yarosh on videos at press conferences or speaking ahead of him to reporters. From January 2014 onward, to speak to Dimitri Yarosh, you set up an appointment with Yurash.<br />

Their main goal is still a major confrontation with nuclear-armed Russia."<br />
<br />
The [[Atlantic Council]] is the think tank associated and supported by the CEEC (Central and Eastern European Coalition). The CEEC has only one goal which is war with Russia. Their question to candidates looking for their support in the election was “Are you willing to go to war with Russia?” Hillary Clinton has received their unqualified support throughout the 2016 campaign. Since the Atlantic Council would have taken senior cabinet and policy positions in a [[Hillary Clinton]] administration, Dimitri Alperovitch own fellowship status at the Atlantic Council and relationship with Irene Chalupa creates a definite [[conflict of interest]] for [[Crowdstrike]]'s investigation in May 2014 [[DNC]] hack which Crowdstrike blamed on Russia and the [[Comey]] [[FBI]] unquestionably accepted without investigating.

===Nazi paramilitary groups===<br />
<br />
In April 2014, the 25th separate airborne brigade of the High Mobility Assault Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was sent to Donetsk to wage war on its residents. However, in the words of the embittered interim-president Turchynov on April 17, 2014, at the Verkhovna Rada, “the 25th separate Airborne Brigade, whose military showed cowardice and surrendered arms, will be disestablished… The Defense Ministry has received this instruction.”<ref>https://thegrayzone.com/2022/07/30/zelensky-militants-convicted-child-rape-torture-military/</ref><br />
[[File:National Militia.PNG|right|300px|thumb|[[BBC]] report on the National Militia, April 4, 2018.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hE6b4ao8gAQ Ukraine: On patrol with the far-right National Militia], Jonah Fisher reports, ''BBC Newsnight'', April 4, 2018.</ref>]] <br />
Turchynov sent a corresponding order to the Prosecutor-General's office demanding the criminal punishment of the disobedient servicemen. While the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense denied that the brigade defected to the side of the separatists, the unit's tanks began to fly the flag of the DNR, as even mainstream Western media reported.<ref>https://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2014/04/ukraines-offensive-falters-as-elite-units-defect-to-pro-russia-side</ref><br />
<br />
Days after the interim President “disbanded” the 25th Brigade, the newly installed “deputy governor” of Dnipropetrovsk announced the formation of “special forces” in order to “protect the oblast” from falling into “Russia’s hands.” While the median Ukrainian salary for 2014 was 3480₴ (US$117), “volunteers” for these battalions, according to the Deputy Governor of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Hennadiy Korban, received 29528₴ ($1000) per month. That's nearly ten times the average salary in Ukraine. <br />
<br />
After the loss of parts of the Oblasts of Lugansk and Donetsk and the entire peninsula of Crimea, Kiev believed that Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, with its large Russian-speaking population, would be the next Oblast to declare independence. Unable to rely on the Ukrainian military, nor the current police force, which they deemed to be “infiltrated by pro-Russian separatists,” Kiev officially deputized the fascistic paramilitary forces that functioned as street muscle during the Maidan coup. <br />
<br />
In March 2014, Kiev passed a law establishing a “national guard” which was to be overseen by the Ministry of the Interior.<ref>https://cis-legislation.com/document.fwx?rgn=66315</ref> With the consent of the then-Interior Minister [[Arsen Avakov]], Ukrainian billionaire [[Igor Kholmoisky]] bankrolled the creation of some of the country's more notorious [[Territorial Defense]] forces.<br />

===US role: National Endowment for Democracy===<br />
{{Anchor|NED}}<br />
[[Washington D.C.]]’s regime-change arm, the [[National Endowment for Democracy]] (NED), spent $16.8 million from 2007 through 2012, to stimulate civic activity and fund election watchdogs and non-state run reporting outlets in Ukraine. These funds have gone to organizations that played a role in the 2004 Orange Revolution and have since continued to monitor elections, investigate government corruption and educate youth about Western "democratic" government.<ref>https://www.huffpost.com/entry/us-foreign-aid-ukraine_n_4914682</ref> Since the Maidan coup of 2014 NED spent $22.4 million on operations inside Ukraine, when democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych was overthrown and replaced by a successor regime handpicked by the U.S. Those operations included propping up and training pro-Western political parties, funding pliant media organizations, and subsidizing massive privatization drives that benefit foreign multinational corporations, all in an effort to secure U.S. control over the country that NED President [[Carl Gershman]] called “the biggest prize” in Europe.<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2022/02/26/robert-parry-the-mess-that-nuland-made/</ref><br />

The National Endowment for Democracy was set up in 1983 after a series of scandals undermined both the credibility and the public image of the [[CIA]]. The organization was established as a cutout doing much of the agency's dirtiest work. “It would be terrible for democratic groups around the world to be seen as subsidized by the CIA,” Gershman himself said, explaining its creation. “A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA,” NED cofounder Allen Weinstein told ''[[The Washington Post]]'' in 1991.<br />
<br />
NED is almost entirely funded by Congress and is staffed largely by ex-national security state leaders. Its president as of 2022 is Damon Wilson. The NED published a video of Wilson at a rally outside the [[White House]], declaring "Glory to Ukraine" – the salute used by Nazi collaborator [[Stephan Bandera]]'s [[OUN-B]], which carried out [[mass murder]] of [[Jews]] and [[Polish|Poles]] during [[World War II]].<ref>https://twitter.com/dancohen3000/status/1500899917300129795</ref> Other top officials pepper NED's board of directors, including [[Biden regime]] CIA Director [[William Burns]], Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs and 2014 Ukrainian Maidan revolution mastermind [[Victoria Nuland]], as well as veteran national security official Elliott Abrams. Its private non-profit status means that its affairs do not fall under the same legal scrutiny as those of government organizations like the CIA. It has no congressional oversight. It is harder to acquire documents under the [[Freedom of Information Act]] (FOIA), meaning that the group's actions remain shrouded in secrecy.<br />
<br />
Studying the NED grants database reveals that the organization has approved 334 separate grants to Ukraine, a country the group's 2019 annual report identified as its “top priority,” owing to “its size and importance for the Europe region.” The report notes that NED is focused on “counter[ing] foreign [i.e., Russian] malign influence, particularly disinformation and corrosive capital.” Of the European nations, only Russia itself has been the target of more NED money ($37.7 million to Ukraine's $22.4 million). NED is rather hazy about where its money is going, yet scrutinizing the vague project outlines, it becomes clear that NED has two major objectives in Ukraine:<br />
[[File:Oleh Tyanhbok (3).png|left|300px|thumb|Oleh Tyahnybok, founder of Svoboda. The "[[Moscow-Jewish mafia]]" is running Ukraine.<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2018/07/05/corporate-medias-about-face-on-ukraines-neo-nazis/</ref>]]<br />
:Pushing through a mass privatization of the country’s state-owned businesses.<br />
:Building up political parties that will represent elite U.S. interests.<br />
<br />
Of the $22.4 million, over $2.9 million has been awarded to the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), an offshoot of the [[U.S. Chamber of Commerce]]. One NED grant to the CIPE — worth $500,000 described the project's goal as “enhanc[ing] the role of leading business associations and the private sector in public policy decision-making, and improv[ing] the capacity of the private sector and officials to cooperate to develop and implement economic reforms.” In other words, to hand over government decision-making to big business, something many might argue is the antithesis of [[democracy]].<ref>https://www.mintpressnews.com/documents-reveal-us-ned-spent-22m-promoting-anti-russia-narrative-ukraine/279734/</ref><br />
<br />
The post-2014 government, installed after the Maidan Revolution, has already implemented a course of economic shock therapy, selling off many of the country's state-owned assets, in the process turning Ukraine into, by quite some margin, the poorest nation in Europe (although it has also helped create many new billionaires). Nevertheless, the U.S. wants to see further privatizations, along the lines of what it helped implement in Russia in the 1990s.<br />
<br />
NED has also been key in building up pro-U.S. political forces in Ukraine, notably awarding the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI) nearly $2.2 million towards this endeavor. Congress established NDI in tandem with NED; and NDI, like its sister organization, claims to be a non-governmental organization, despite being affiliated with the [[Democratic Party]]. Its chairperson is [[Madeline Albright]], secretary of state under the [[Clinton administration]].<br />
<br />
One $595,000 grant describes how NDI will “help political parties develop into inclusive, national movements,” and will “assist parties in the development of inclusive, internal communication and decision making procedures” and “conduct public opinion research and trainings to help parties better understand and respond to citizens, including those outside of their traditional geographical bases of support.” A less charitable interpretation of the grant would be that the U.S. government is taking over the political direction and organization of Ukrainian political parties, molding them as they see fit.<br />
[[File:Biden and neo-nazis.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Biden shaking hands with [[Oleh Tyanhbok]].<ref>https://twitter.com/MaxBlumenthal/status/1112498132489814017</ref> Following the 2011 conviction of Nazi death camp guard John Demjanjuk as an accessory to murder of 27,900 people at the Sobibor death camp, Tyahnybok met with Demjanjuk's lawyer, presenting Demjanjuk as a Ukranian national hero, a victim of persecution ‘’who is fighting for truth."<ref>https://thesaker.is/ukraine-fascisms-toe-hold-in-europe/</ref>]]<br />
In tandem with the support of political blocs also comes the grooming of young political and social activists who NED hopes will become the leaders of tomorrow. To this end, it has given at least $385,000 to the European Institute for Democracy in Warsaw, in order to, in its words, “support a new generation of political leaders in Ukraine,” by conducting training courses for their handpicked proteges, flying them out of the country to provide lessons in “election campaigning, women empowerment, effective governing, and crisis management,” among other skills.<br />
<br />
The point, of course, is to develop a cadre of pro-Western [[neoliberal]] thought leaders who will ally themselves to the United States and its vision for Ukraine. Left unstated in all this is that the U.S. is deciding who exactly this new generation of leaders comprises. And for all the nods towards [[diversity]] and [[liberalism]], the U.S.’ record in Eastern Europe shows they are happy to support [[fascist]]s and other highly anti-democratic forces. Those who do not share Washington’s goals for Ukraine need not apply.<br />

|}<br />
Another key focus for NED is to establish and support pro-Western media outlets and [[NGO]]s that backed both the 2014 overthrow of Yanukovych and the new government's privatization agenda. This is all couched as “promoting independent media.” But in reality, it is creating a network largely dependent on and answerable to Washington. One example of this is the Ukraine Crisis Media Center, which consistently publishes studies about “Russia’s efforts to distort facts” and scare stories about an impending Russian invasion, while inviting the British ambassador to give talks at its headquarters. Ukraine Crisis describes its vision of Ukraine as an “outpost of freedom and democratic development in Eastern Europe,” and an “integral part of the West.” Ukraine Crisis is directly funded by a number of different U.S. governmental organizations, as well as by NATO and the governments of Germany, [[Canada]], the United Kingdom, [[Norway]], [[Sweden]], [[Poland]], [[Finland]] and the [[Netherlands]].<br />
<br />
Most of the media organizations NED funds also maintain English-language versions of their websites. This is because many of these groups are used to influence Western audiences as well as individuals inside the target country, Ukraine. The Center for Civil Liberties (CCL), for example, has been supported financially since 2016 and has received at least $204,000 from NED. It plays an important role in injecting U.S. government narratives into American media reporting, having been presented simply as a “human rights group” in a wide range of outlets, including ''The Washington Post'', ''[[USA Today]]'' and ''[[The New York Post]]''. None of these articles inform readers that CCL is directly in the pay of a CIA front group, precisely because it would undermine their credibility.<br />
<br />
Media networks directly owned and operated by the U.S. state, including [[Radio Free Europe]]/Radio Liberty and [[Voice of America]], also frequently use CCL as an expert source. This gives the impression that there is a sizable groundswell of individuals all focusing on the same issue when, in reality, it is simply operatives from the same source (the U.S. government) all interacting with each other.<br />
<br />
====False flag: "Heavenly hundred"====<br />
Key neoconservatives, such as Victoria Nuland and Sen. John McCain, began pushing for the [[violent]] coup that in February 2014 ousted Ukraine's elected President Viktor Yanukovych and touched off the [[new Cold War]] with Russia. Senior U.S. government officials reportedly told the leaders of the [[Svoboda party]] that the deaths of a few protestors would not be enough to change Western support, but the Yanukovych government would only change if the number of victims was greater than one hundred.<ref>https://rumble.com/vxdun0-the-maidan-sniper-massacre-revealing-ukraine.html</ref> <br />
<br />
On February 20, 2014, a sniper firing from a building controlled by the Pravy Sektor shot and killed both police and protesters. The organized mass killing of both protesters and the police had the goal of delegitimizing the Yanukovych government and its forces and seizing power in Ukraine. Oligarchic and Ukrainian nationalist elements were involved in this massacre. The official investigation by the coup regime was fabricated and stonewalled.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKMoq61IN02VsItd-uIZKtJKrPxA4z1Q8</ref><br />
[[File:Heavenly Hundred (2).PNG|left|350pc|thumb|Pravy Sektor snipers atop the Music Conservatory building as reported by the [[BBC]].<ref>[https://youtu.be/flztD56UcYk?list=PLKMoq61IN02VsItd-uIZKtJKrPxA4z1Q8 The "Snipers' Massacre" on the Maidan in Ukraine (2021)]. YouTube.</ref>]]<br />
The official forensic investigations which were made public at the Maidan massacre trial revealed that on February 20, 2014, the absolute majority of the protesters were shot from side and back directions and from top to bottom directions, while videos and photos of the massacre showed them facing the Berkut special police force on the same ground level. In January 2015, a forensic ballistic examination conducted upon the request of prosecution concluded that bullets extracted from killed protesters did not match the bullet samples from any Kalashnikov assault rifle which members of the Berkut special police force were then armed. The findings of this computer-based ballistic examination and results of the other 40 ballistic examinations were reversed in a couple of ballistic examinations conducted manually in the very end of the investigation. Such unexplained reversals which contradicted other evidence, such as testimonies of wounded protesters and results of forensic medical examinations, suggested that the findings of the new examinations of bullets were unreliable and likely falsified. The forensic ballistic examinations also found that many protesters were killed on February 18–20 by hunting pellets and expanding hunting bullets, in particular, with caliber that did not match calibers of weapons used by the special police company, whose members were charged with killings these protesters.<ref>Katchanovski</ref><br />
<br />
A female Maidan medic during the massacre was pointing to the top of a building and shouting about snipers. But her words were translated in a [[BBC]] report as referring to six protesters killed by the snipers in that area. A Maidan protester and another Maidan medic, who were wounded near the same spot where two protesters were killed, both testified at the Maidan massacre trial that they were shot from this building. Government ballistic experts confirmed this during on-site investigative experiments.<br />
<br />
These revelations were not reported by any Western media. This includes ''The New York Time'', which on April 5, 2014, profiled this wounded protester against the backdrop of an unquestioned report by the acting Kiev regime that blaming “former President Viktor F. Yanukovych, his riot police and their suspected Russian assistants for the violence that killed more than 100 people in Kiev in February.” It also includes [[CNN]], which filmed the shooting of this medic and attributed it to the government forces.<br />
<br />
The Maidan regime investigation simply denies that there were any snipers there and in other Maidan-controlled buildings, and refuses to investigate them. This is done despite videos of such snipers and testimonies of the absolute majority of wounded protesters at the trial and investigation and more than 150 other witnesses about snipers in these locations.<br />
[[File:Euromaidan coup.jpg|right300px|thumb|Burnt victims of what the [[Western alliance|Western media]] and diplomats call the "[[Revolution of Dignity]]."<ref>https://archive.fo/xWS2Q</ref>]]<br />
The official investigation in Ukraine simply denies that there were any such snipers in Maidan-controlled buildings, even though the Prosecutor General Office of Ukraine previously stated that snipers massacred many protesters from the Hotel Ukraina and other buildings.<br />
<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2019/04/22/the-buried-maidan-massacre-and-its-misrepresentation-by-the-west/</ref><br />
<br />
Testimonies by five Georgian ex-military members in Italian, Israeli, Macedonian and Russian media and their published depositions to defense lawyers of police from the former regime in the Maidan massacre trial have also been ignored. They stated that their groups received weapons, payments, and orders to massacre both police and protesters from specific Maidan and Georgian politicians. They also said that they received instructions from an ex-U.S. Army sniper and then saw Georgian, Baltic States, and Praqvy Sektor-linked snipers shooting from specific Maidan-controlled buildings.<br />
<br />
Western media silence also ignored a statement by Anatolii Hrytsenko, who was a Maidan politician and minister of defense, that the investigation of the massacre was stonewalled because of the involvement of someone from the current leadership of Ukraine in the mass killing.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20171019101358/http://world.time.com/2014/02/21/ukraine-parliament-yanukovych-kiev-deal/</ref><br />

===Donbas war===<br />
The [[Donbas war]] began in 2014 when the [[Obama administration]]-backed [[Maidan coup]] overthrew the [[democracy|democratically]] elected president of Ukraine.<ref>https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2018/06/03/how-why-us-government-perpetrated-2014-coup-ukraine/</ref> [[President Viktor Yanukovych]]'s election had been certified by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). He was the first democratically elected official overthrown in a violent revolution in recent memory. The U.S.-backed [[coup]] was accomplished with the aid of anti-Russian [[neo-Nazi]]s in Ukraine. It was an unconstitutional [[regime change]].<br />
<br />
[[Crimea]] held a referendum and rejoined Russia rather than live under an illegal government. However, Russia did not accept the results of the [[Donetsk]] and [[Lugansk]] referendums in the Don River Basin, collectively known as Donbas. [[Donetsk]] and [[Luhansk]] declared independence from [[Kyiv]] and became known as the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics. <br />
<br />
The people of the Donbas refused to recognize the legitimacy of the illegal [[coup]], so the newly installed government sent the army to quell protests. The army refused to follow the new regime's orders to fire on civilian protesters. Some units even joined the protests. With the army proving itself unreliable, the U.S.-installed Kyiv regime incorporated neo-Nazi militias into official Ukrainian government armed forces, entrusted to perform the tasks that [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]] and Kyiv wanted. On May 17, 2014, the International Observatory of Ukrainian Crisis posted:<br />

A truce was negotiated between the two separatist Republics and the Kyiv regime in 2015 in the [[Belarus]]ian capital of [[Minsk]] and known as the Minsk Agreements.

The Minsk Agreements would give autonomy to the two provinces while remaining part of Ukraine.

{{quotebox-float|"On 21 July 2016, Amnesty International had issued ''“Torture and secret detention in Ukraine – new report”''. It said, for example: “The Ukrainian authorities and pro-Kiev paramilitary groups have detained civilians suspected of involvement with or supporting Russian-backed separatists, while the separatist forces have detained civilians suspected of supporting or spying for the Ukrainian government, Amnesty and Human Rights Watch found. In one case, ‘Vadim,’ 39, was detained and tortured first by one side, then the other. In April last year, armed men seized him at a checkpoint controlled by Ukrainian forces, pulled a bag over his head, and questioned him about his alleged connections with Russia-backed separatists. Vadim spent more than six weeks in captivity, most of the time in a facility apparently run by Ukraine’s Security Service ([[SBU]]) personnel. His interrogators tortured him with electric shocks, burned him with cigarettes, and beat him, demanding that he confess to working for Russia-backed separatists. After they finally released him, Vadim returned to [[Donetsk]] and was immediately detained by the local de facto authorities, who suspected him of having been recruited by Ukraine’s Security Service during his time in captivity. He spent more than two months in incommunicado detention in an unofficial prison in central Donetsk, where his captors also beat and ill-treated him.”<br />
<br />
The entire report is 42 pages, and Vadim’s case is summarized on its page 6, at the start of the Report’s “Summary.” Nowhere in the Report is that term “ill-treated” defined. However, that same page also employs the phrase “torture and other forms of ill-treatment.” Consequently, one may reasonably infer that “torture” relates to only the worst forms of “ill-treatment.” Though “torture” was alleged regarding Vadim’s allegations against Ukraine’s government, the term “ill-treatment” was alleged regarding his allegations against the breakaway republics. <br />
<br />
There is every indication that Ukraine’s present Government is nazi-controlled, but neither in the breakaway republics nor in Crimea is the Government [[racist]]-[[fascist]] (or “[[nazi]]”): they are the exact opposite — intensely anti-nazi — and so, too, is Russia’s Federal Government. Whereas America and its [[CIA]] brought in and protected many thousands of Nazis after [[WW II]], the [[Soviet Union]] did the opposite: searched for them and killed them. Today’s Russia is continuing that aspect of its predecessor’s policies. Allegations in [[The West]] to the contrary are not merely [[lie]]s: they are [[obscene]], vicious, anti-historical, lies, which come from the true heirs of (in fact, the modernized versions of) [[Hitler]], [[Gehlen]], and [[Goebbels]]."}}<br />
The U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights concluded on June 29, 2022, that the Armed Forces of the Ukraine used civilians as human shields in Stara Krasnyanka when Ukrainian soldiers took up positions inside a nursing home, effectively making the building a legitimate military target.<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/07/10/un-human-rights-report-shows-ukraine-military-used-nursing-home-residents-as-human-shields/</ref> Civilians throughout the war zone made the same allegations.<br />

U.S. officials “kept talking about how important it was that all of our anti-corruption efforts be united,” said [[Andrii Telizhenko]], then a political officer in the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington tasked with organizing the meeting. Telizhenko said U.S. officials [[Obama]] officials told them they had an interest in reviving a closed 2014 investigation into payments to U.S. figures from Ukraine's Russia-backed Party of Regions. That 2014 investigation was focused on [[Paul Manafort]]. The FBI closed the case without charging Manafort. Obama DOJ officials asking investigators from Ukraine's '''National Anti-Corruption Bureau''' ('''NABU''') if they could help find new evidence about the Party of Regions’ payments and its dealings with Americans. “It was definitely the case that led to the charges against Manafort and the leak to U.S. media during the [[2016 presidential election|2016 election]],” Telizhenko said.<br />

The NATO flag represents [[globalism]]; the ''[[Cyrillic]]'' A3OB in the center spells AZOV; and the swastika represents the NATO and globalists' [[Russophobic]] allies in Ukraine. A Ukrainian court found elements in the Ukrainian government [[collude]]d with the [[DNC]] to defeat Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/12/world/europe/ukraine-paul-manafort.html Ukraine Court Rules Manafort Disclosure Caused 'Meddling' in U.S. Election], ''[[The New York Times]]'', December 12, 2018. National Anti-Corruption Bureau Director '''[[Artem Sytnyk]]''' and legislator '''[[Serhiy Leshchenko]]''' broke the law by revealing [[Manafort]]'s name. The disclosure “led to interference in the electoral processes of the [[United States]] in 2016 and harmed the interests of Ukraine as a state,” the court said. https://www.theepochtimes.com/ties-to-ukrainian-national-a-unifying-theme-in-early-attacks-on-trump_2872609.html<br>In October 2019, an audiotape of Sytnyk was release discussing his efforts to help Hillary during the 2016 election. He and Leschenko were responsible for publishing the Black Ledger which forced Paul Manafort to resign from Trump’s campaign.<br>https://www.dailywire.com/news/bombshell-audio-email-evidence-shows-dnc-colluded-with-ukraine-to-boost-hillary-by-harming-trump-report-says</ref>]]<br />
Nazar Kholodnytskyy, Ukraine's chief anti-corruption prosecutor, said he soon saw evidence in Ukraine of political meddling in the U.S. election. Kholodnytskyy said the key evidence against Manafort — a ledger showing payments from the Party of Regions — was known to Ukrainian authorities since 2014 but was suddenly released in May 2016 by the NABU, after Manafort was named Trump's campaign chairman: “Somebody kept this black ledger secret for two years and then showed it to the public and the U.S. media. It was extremely suspicious.” Kholodnytskyy said he explicitly instructed NABU investigators who were working with American authorities not to share the ledger with the media. “I ordered the detectives to give nothing to the mass media considering this case. Instead, they had broken my order and published themselves these one or two pages of this black ledger regarding Paul Manafort. For me it was the first call that something was going wrong and that there is some external influence in this case. And there is some other interests in this case not in the interest of the investigation and a fair trial.”<br />
<br />
Kostiantyn Kulyk, deputy head of the Ukraine prosecutor general's international affairs office, said that, shortly after Ukrainian authorities returned from the Washington meeting, there was a clear message about helping the Americans with the Party of the Regions case. “Yes, there was a lot of talking about needing help and then the ledger just appeared in public.” Kulyk said Ukrainian authorities had evidence that other Western figures, such as former Obama White House counsel [[Gregory Craig]], also received money from Yanukovych's party. But the Americans weren't interested: “They just discussed Manafort. This was all and only what they wanted. Nobody else.”<br />
Manafort joined Trump's campaign on March 29, 2016, and then was promoted to campaign chairman on May 19, 2016. NABU leaked the existence of the ledgers on May 29, 2016. Later that summer, it told U.S. media the ledgers showed payments to Manafort, a revelation that forced him to resign from the Trump campaign in August 2016.<br />
<br />
A Ukrainian court in December concluded NABU's release of the ledger was an illegal attempt to influence the U.S. election. And a member of Ukraine's parliament has released a recording of a NABU official saying the agency released the ledger to help Hillary Clinton.<br />
<br />
The other case raised at the January 2016 meeting involved Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy company under investigation in Ukraine for improper foreign transfers of money. At the time, Burisma allegedly was paying then-Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter as both a board member and a consultant. More than $3 million flowed from Ukraine to Rosemont Seneca, Hunter Biden and [[Devon Archer]]'s firm in 2014–15, bank records show.<br />
U.S. officials told the Ukrainians they would prefer that Kiev drop the Burisma probe and allow the FBI to take it over. The Ukrainians did not agree. But then Joe Biden pressured Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to fire [[Victor Shokin]], Ukraine's chief prosecutor in March 2016. The Burisma case was transferred to NABU, then shut down.<br />
<br />
The Ukrainian Embassy in Washington confirmed that the Obama administration requested the meetings in January 2016, but embassy representatives attended only some of the sessions. "Unfortunately, the Embassy of Ukraine in Washington, D.C., was not invited to join the DOJ and other law enforcement-sector meetings."<br />
<br />
Telizhenko's claim that the DOJ reopened its Manafort probe as the 2016 election ramped up is supported by the DOJ's own documents, including communications involving Associate Attorney General [[Bruce Ohr]], his wife, [[Nellie Ohr]], and ex-British spy [[Christopher Steele]]. Nellie Ohr and Steele worked in 2016 for [[Fusion GPS]], that was hired by Clinton's campaign and DNC to find dirt on Trump. Steele wrote the famous dossier for Fusion that the FBI used to gain a warrant to spy on the Trump campaign. Nellie Ohr admitted to Congress that she routed Russia dirt on Trump from Fusion to the DOJ through her husband Bruce during the election.<br />
<br />
DOJ emails show Nellie Ohr on May 30, 2016, directly alerted her husband Bruce and two DOJ prosecutors to the discovery of the “Black Ledger” files that led to Manafort's prosecution. “Reported Trove of documents on Ukrainian Party of Regions’ Black Cashbox,” Nellie Ohr wrote to her husband and federal prosecutors Lisa Holtyn and Joseph Wheatley, attaching a news article on the announcement of NABU’s release of the documents.<br />
<br />
Bruce Ohr and Steele worked on their own effort to get dirt on Manafort from a Russian oligarch, [[Oleg Deripaska]], who had a soured business relationship with Manafort. Deripaska was “almost ready to talk” to U.S. government officials regarding the money that “Manafort stole,” Bruce Ohr wrote in notes from his conversations with Steele. The efforts eventually led to a September 2016 meeting in which [[Andrew McCabe]] asked Deripaska if he could help prove Manafort was helping Trump collude with Russia. Deripaska laughed off the notion as preposterous.<br />
<br />
''Politico'' reported that the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington assisted Clinton's campaign through [[Alexandra Chalupa]], a DNC contractor. The Ukrainian Embassy acknowledges it got requests for assistance from Chalupa to find dirt on Manafort.<br />

The government of Ukraine in collusion with the [[Democratic National Committee]] colluded to interfere in the [[2016 United States Presidential Election]] and to subvert American [[democracy]]. In so doing, they sought to blame Russia for foreign influence.<ref>[https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2022/03/10/how_ukraine_conspired_with_dems_against_trump_to_prevent_the_kind_of_war_happening_now_under_biden_820873.html]</ref><br />
<br />
Paul Sperry of Realclearinvestigations documented how the Ukrainian government, working with both the [[Obama administration]] and the [[2016 Clinton campaign]], Ukrainian officials intervened in the 2016 race to help [[Hillary Clinton]] and hurt Donald Trump in a sweeping and systematic foreign influence operation. The improper, if not illegal, operation was run chiefly out of the Ukrainian Embassy in [[Washington, D.C.]] where officials worked with Alexander Chalupa, a Ukrainian-American [[Banderist]] and Clinton campaign operative, to attack the Trump campaign. The Obama White House was also deeply involved in an effort to groom their own favored leader in Ukraine and then work with his government to dig up dirt on and investigate their political rival.<br />
<br />
Ukrainian and Democratic operatives also huddled with American journalists to spread damaging information on Trump and his advisers – including allegations of illicit Russian-tied payments that, though later proved false, forced the resignation of his campaign manager Paul Manafort. The embassy actually weighed a plan to get Congress to investigate Manafort and Trump and stage hearings in the run-up to the election. As it worked behind the scenes to undermine Trump, Ukraine also attacked him publicly. Ukraine's ambassador took the extraordinary step of attacking Trump in an Op-Ed article published in ''[[The Hill]]'', an influential U.S. Capitol newspaper, while other top Ukrainian officials slammed the GOP candidate on [[social media]].<br />

The Ukrainian mischief is part of Special Counsel [[John Durham]]’s broader Trump-Russia inquiry, as of 2022 a full-blown [[criminal]] investigation with [[grand jury]] indictments – into efforts to falsely target Trump as a [[Kremlin]] conspirator in 2016 and beyond.<br />
<br />
Nine days after the U.S. presidential election, the Russian Federation sponsored a U.N. Resolution entitled ''Combating glorification of [[Nazism]], Neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fueling contemporary forms of [[racism]], racial discrimination, [[xenophobia]] and related intolerance'' aimed at condemning the [[neo-fascist]] groups openly displaying Nazi symbols and regalia in Ukraine and Donbas.

In late September 2023 Canadian dictator [[Justin Trudeau]] and Canadian House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota welcomed Zelensky to address the Canadian parliament. A former officer of the [[14th Waffen SS Galicia Division]] named Yaroslav Hunka was also invited to attend the address. Speaker Rota praised Hunka as a “Canadian hero” for fighting against the [[Soviet Union]], which was an ally of Canada, the United States, and the British Commonwealth during [[World War II]]. The [[Allies of World War II]], including Canada, were fighting the armed forces of [[Nazi Germany]], of which the Hunka and the [[14th SS Galicia Division]] were part. More than 45,000 Canadians were killed fighting Nazi forces. <br />
<br />
Former members of the 14th Galicia Division were still wanted in Ukraine, [[Poland]], [[Belarus]], [[Lithuania]], and the [[Russian Federation]] in 2023 for war crimes during the Second World War Nazi occupation. There is no [[statute of limitations]] for murder. Many Ukrainian Nazi war criminals fled [[Europe]] after World War II and were resettled and granted citizenship in the [[UK]], Canada, and the United States. After the German surrender to the Soviet Union in [[Berlin]] on [[Victory Day]], May 9, 1945, many of Ukrainian Nazis who did not flee Europe fought on against the Soviet Union until 1954, receiving covert aid from the [[CIA]] soon after the CIA's founding in 1947.<br />
<br />
International affairs analyst [[Dr. Andrew Korybko]] observed that in one fell swoop, Trudeau discredited himself as a so-called “champion of [[human rights]]”, while Zelensky proved beyond any doubt that an ethnic [[Jew]] can indeed glorify the Nazis’ [[genocidal]] allies despite having family who were murdered in the [[Holocaust]].<ref>[https://korybko.substack.com/p/jews-poles-and-russians-have-united Jews, Poles, & Russians Have United To Condemn Canada For Glorifying A Literal Nazi], ANDREW KORYBKO, SEP 25, 2023.</ref> After being vetted to attend Zelensky's speech by the Canadian government and Trudeau's office, Hunta was introduced by the Speaker as a “Ukrainian-Canadian veteran from the Second World War who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians” and received two extended standing ovations while Zelensky raised a clenched fist in solidarity. To its credit, even ''[[Politico]]'' reported on the number of Jewish organizations that condemned the [[fascist]] ceremony.<ref>[https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/24/nazi-linked-veteran-ovation-zelenkyy-canada-visit-00117857 Nazi-linked veteran received ovation during Zelenskyy’s Canada visit], By KYLE DUGGAN, ''Politico'', 09/24/2023.</ref> Hunta's family had [[tweet]]ed out days in advance that a separate private meeting had been arranged for Hunta to meet and speak privately with Trudeau and Zelensky.<ref>[[Mark Sleboda]], [https://marksleboda.substack.com/p/canadian-parliament-trudeau-and-zelensky Canadian Parliament, Trudeau & Zelensky Praise and Give Standing Ovation to West Ukrainian Waffen SS Veteran Who "Killed Russians"], Radio Interview on the Critical Hour 25/09/23.</ref><br />

<br />
In the run up to the war, both the [[United States]] and [[NATO]] rejected without consideration two treaty proposals by the [[Russian Federation]] to avoid war. The treaty proposals would require NATO to pledge not granting Ukraine and the [[Republic of Georgia]] NATO membership; U.S. missiles in Poland and [[Romania]] to be removed; and NATO deployments to [[Eastern Europe]] reversed. The U.S. and NATO rejected the proposals without consideration and instead sent more NATO forces to Eastern Europe and continued to heavily arm Ukraine.<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2022/02/24/what-putin-says-are-the-causes-aims-of-russias-military-action/</ref><br />

After more than two weeks fighting claiming more civilian lives with NATO-supplied weapons, on March 11, 2022, EU external minister Josep Borrell back peddled on EU policy which provoked the war saying, "I am ready to admit that we made a number of mistakes and that we lost the possibility of Russia’s [[rapprochement]] with [[the West]].

Former U.S. ambassador to Russia [[Jack Matlock]] wrote in ''Krasno Analysis'' on December 14, 2021, that interference by the U.S. and its NATO allies in Ukraine's civil struggle has exacerbated the crisis within NATO and raised the specter a possible conflict between the nuclear powers. Russia is extremely sensitive about foreign military activity adjacent to its borders, as any other country would be, and as the United States has always been. Russia has signaled repeatedly that it will stop at nothing to prevent NATO membership for Ukraine. Ukraine's friends in Europe and America should help them understand, rather than Ukraine is pursuing what could<br />
easily turn out to be a suicidal course. He concluded, "back in October 1962 it was the U.S. southern border that was being approached closely by [[Soviet]] soldiers and missiles in [[Cuba]] which threatened the devastating first strike. Today it is the relentless march of NATO, closer and closer to Russia's borders. 60 years ago [[president John F. Kennedy]] said. "within the past week unmistakable evidence has established the fact that a series of offensive missile sites is now in preparation on that imprisoned island," and he said that "this is in an area well known to have a special and historical relationship to the U.S. and is a deliberately provocative and unjustified change in the status quo which cannot be accepted by this country." President Kennedy demanded that the Soviet Union remove<br />
and never again try to place nuclear-capable missiles and aircraft virtually on the U.S. border and in an area with a special and historical relationship to the U.S.<ref>https://ccisf.org/ambassador-jack-matlock-ukraine-tragedy-of-a-nation-divided/</ref><br />
<br />
President Putin's agreement proposed to Biden on December 7, 2021, was that the United States ensure that Ukraine would not join NATO and thereby have U.S. and NATO forces and missiles of various types placed right on Russia's border and in an area with a special and historical relationship to Russia.<br />

====US & UK sabotage peace negotiations====<br />
{{See also|2022 Istanbul peace negotiations}}<br />
''Ukrainska Pravda'' reported in May 2022 on Boris Johnson's unannounced surprise visit to Kyiv shortly after Russia and Ukraine had reached a peace settlement in their talks in [[Istanbul]]. The Russians had agreed to withdraw to the pre-February 2022 borders and Zelensky would implement the [[Minsk Accords]]. ''Ukrainska Pravda'' reported in essence what Johnson told Zelensky according to sources close to the Ukrainian dictator:<br />
{{quotebox-float|"if Ukraine is ready to sign some agreements on guarantees with Putin, they [the UK and US] are not. Johnson’s position was that the [[Western alliance|collective West]], which back in February had suggested Zelenskyy should surrender and flee, now felt that Putin was not really as powerful as they had previously imagined, and that here was a chance to "press him."<ref>[https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/western-allies-led-uks-johnson-sabotaged-tentative-ukraine-russia-peace-deal Western Allies Led By UK's Johnson Sabotaged Tentative Ukraine-Russia Peace Deal...

Only a month after Russia was forced by innumerable actions by [[the West]] to achieve the aims of protecting the Russian-speaking people of the Donbass region and the Russian Federation itself from a malevolent Ukrainian regime becoming a NATO state on its border, Russia initiated peace negotiations. These bore fruit in March 2022 when significant progress was announced from Istanbul where the talks between the two sides were being held. Russia removed its troops from around the capital Kiev, sent there with the goal, not of conquest, but of bringing the [[Kiev regime]] to its senses and to negotiate a peaceful outcome. This avenue toward a peaceful resolution of all areas of concern was swiftly blocked via a visit to Kiev by then British prime minister Boris Johnson. This one act condemned upwards of half a million Ukrainians to their deaths and the potential destruction of Ukraine as a viable state.<ref>[https://aearnur.substack.com/p/in-ukraine-the-western-powers-have IN UKRAINE THE WESTERN POWERS HAVE CREATED A POISONOUS WEB OF LIES], AEARNUR, NOV 11, 2023. aearnur.substack.com</ref><br />

[[File:Prime Minister Boris Johnson visits Ukrainian troops training in North Yorkshire.jpeg|left|300px|thumb|Boris Johnson posing with Ukrainian special forces. Most were killed in an unsuccessful NATO raid on the [[Zaporozhye nuclear power plant]].]]<br />
The sudden failure of the Istanbul agreement led to the immediate influx of mass amounts of the latest U.S. gear such as [[HIMAR]]s. Zelensky was secretly promised unlimited funding and military support as bait. Stuck between the path of peace or the chance to go down in history as the one man who could do what [[Genghis Khan]], [[Napoleon]], and [[Hitler]] could not do. Zelensky chose to put his faith in NATO’s invincibility. Ukrainian journalist [[Diana Panchenko]] confirmed what happened:<br />
{{quotebox-float|"I know for a fact that the war could have been stopped back in March. A man from Zelensky's inner circle told me: We simply ditched the Russians in March. He boasted about it... Friends, I know them all personally.<br />
<br />
I appeal to Ukrainians. You are ruled by [[sociopath]]s who do not understand the consequences".<ref>[https://twitter.com/Andromeda11711/status/1670500664403951616 Andromeda11711 tweet, Jun 18, 2023:]<small>💥 "I know for a fact that the war could have been stopped back in March."<br />
<br />
Ukrainian journalist Diana Panchenko on the Istanbul peace treaty: "A man from Zelensky's inner circle told me: 'We just got rid of the Russians in March. He bragged about it... Friends, I know them all personally. They are ruled by sociopaths. They don't understand the consequences.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, Putin gave the Kiev regime a real knockout blow.<br />
<br />
Imagine Zelensky beating his chest and assuring the Ukrainians that there are no agreements with Russia. That's exactly why the Bucha fake was staged: the Kiev regime needed to show that the Russians hadn't left on their own, but that the Kiev region had supposedly been liberated by the Ukrainian military. The provocation in Bucha was necessary to falsify the reason for the rejection of the agreements by making a fuss in the Western media.<br />
<br />
Britain, China, the USA, Turkey, France and Belarus were listed as security guarantors for Ukraine in the Istanbul Treaty, which Ukraine did not want to fulfil. Of course, Zelensky was forbidden by Washington and London to comply, but in this situation it does not matter, because it was Ukraine that violated the treaty.<br />
<br />
Yesterday's statement by Vladimir Putin completely destroys the myth of Ukraine's independence in decision-making and clearly shows the people of Ukraine what Zelensky got them into: he had an opportunity to avoid a disaster.<br />
<br />
There would have been no deaths or destruction. A viable Ukrainian economy would have been preserved. No one would have interfered with Ukraine's "independence"! But it was the Kiev regime that dragged Ukraine into a major war, and it can no longer stop what is happening.<br />

On October 11, 2022, Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with ''60 Minutes'':<ref>[https://www.mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/news/1833291/?lang=en Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with the programme 60 Minutes, Moscow, October 11, 2022].</ref><br />
{{quotebox-float|"We sat at the negotiating table with the Ukrainian delegation until the end of March [2022], when an approach to a settlement on the principles suggested by the Ukrainians at the time had been harmonised in [[Istanbul]]. These principles suited us for that moment but the talks were stopped by direct order from Washington and London.<br />
<br />
This conflict is overrun with [[Anglo-Saxon]]s that fully control the Vladimir Zelensky regime. The Poles and people from the Baltics are trying to fit in on their team.<br />
<br />
Since then the Ukrainian President has said many times that he is not going to hold talks with the Russian Federation under President Vladimir Putin. Recently, he codified this ban in law. We have never sought negotiations. The Istanbul round completed the process started at Ukraine’s request. Russia positively reacted to the proposal to enter a dialogue, but its initiators cut it off with a shout from overseas or London.<br />
<br />
We are hearing statements by [[White House]] representative John Kirby, my colleague Antony Blinken and other members of the US administration. They are saying that they are completely open to talks with the Russian Federation, that they favor a political settlement of the current situation in Ukraine but Russia (the “troublemaker”) is rejecting proposals to establish contact. I can say straight away that this is a lie. We have not received any serious proposals to establish any such contact. There were some attempts that were not very serious, but we didn’t reject them, either. Instead, we suggested that they formulate specific proposals. Some people made them to us by proxy but in this case, we didn’t receive any clear explanations from anyone, either. No need to lie. We were taught in a kindergarten then lying is bad. Apparently, American kindergartens are not so advanced as they were in the [[Soviet Union]] and are now in Russia."}}<br />

====Denazification====<br />

While the Soviet Union was successful in denazifying the German population of [[East Germany]] in the post-World War II period, armed resistance by Ukrainian fascists continued until 1954.<ref>https://www.academia.edu/6387532/War_against_the_UPA_1944_1954_Soviet_Counterinsurgency_Challenge_in_Western_Ukraine</ref> The Soviet Union never was completely successful in denazifying the Ukrainian population as it had the German. This was due to a resistance insurgency spread out over a much greater expanse. Schools, the [[civil service system]], and the military were de-nazified, and the armed fascist resistance went underground. Some moved abroad in the Ukrainian diaspora. Display of Nazi flags, insignia, and [[holocaust denial]] were made illegal in Soviet times as it had been in [[West Germany]], [[Czechoslovakia]], [[Austria]], [[Denmark]] and much of Western Europe. Since 1991 however the freedom of expression has allowed the children and grandchildren of Nazi collaborators to move above ground again and express a lingering [[xenophobic]] hatred for anything Russian after the experiences of the [[holodomor]] and the unjust persecution of the families of Nazi collaborators in the [[Cold War]] period by the Soviet communist regime.<br />
<br />
Many of these children and grandchildren of Nazi collaborators moved back into the Ukrainian civil service after 1991, or became active leaders of anti-Soviet and anti-Russian resistance abroad in the Ukrainian diaspora, in the United States, in the [[UK]], in the Atlantic alliance, in NATO, and in Western Europe. Ex-patriot Ukranian nationalists were instrumental in organizing the 2014 [[Euromaidan coup]], and beginning in late 2015, the [[Trump-Russia collusion]] hoax in an effort to solidify the [[regime change]] in a Clinton administration.<br />

====US aid====<br />

According to [[CNN]],<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/19/politics/us-weapons-ukraine-intelligence/</ref> the US has few ways to track the substantial supply of anti-tank, anti-aircraft and other weaponry it sent into Ukraine. US officials and defense analysts say some of those weapons may wind up in the hands of other militaries and militias that the US did not intend to arm. Privately, officials recognize that Ukraine has an incentive to give only information that will bolster their case for more aid, "everything they do and say publicly is designed to help them win the war. Every public statement is an information operation, every interview, every Zelensky appearance broadcast is an information operation." <br />
<br />
The Biden regime and NATO countries say they are providing weapons to Ukraine based on what the Ukrainian forces say they need, whether it's portable systems like Javelin or Stinger missiles. Javelin and Stinger missiles and rifles and ammunition are harder to track than larger systems shipped by rail. Although Javelins have serial numbers, there is little way to track their transfer and use in real time. "I couldn't tell you where they are in Ukraine and whether the Ukrainians are using them at this point," a senior defense official told reporters. "They're not telling us every round of ammunition they're firing and who and at when." Trucks loaded with pallets of arms provided by the US Defense Department are picked up by Ukrainian armed forces—primarily in Poland—and then driven into Ukraine. The weapons then are transported back across the border in civilian vehicles. Some weapons ended up on the black market including anti-aircraft Stinger missiles, the same kind that shot down [[TWA Flight 800]].<br />
<br />
Other weapons have ended up arming US adversaries. Much of what the US left behind to help Afghan forces became part of the Taliban arsenal after the collapse of the Afghan government and military. In 2020, the Defense Department inspector general released a report raising concerns about the end-use monitoring of weapons being sent to Ukraine.<br />

Charli Carpenter wrote in ''Foreign Policy'' magazine:<br />
{{quotebox-float|"Ukrainian army generals issued a proclamation dramatically expanding the martial law prohibiting Ukrainian civilian men’s freedom of movement, calling on all those “liable for military service” to remain in their home districts....one Ukrainian tweeted, “Now we can’t even leave our cities without permission from military recruitment centers.” Another tweeted, “Animals have more rights in Ukraine than men.”....Another wrote to me on Twitter, “All men in Ukraine now are prisoners … Even more, [a] lot of them have lost their jobs because [of] war, and [the] government doesn’t allow them to go for a job abroad, and can’t give a job inside the country.”....This has left civilian men feeling acute psychological distress: as Andrij wrote to me, “It seems to me that the whole world does not care about men, I feel like a piece of meat that they want to send to death.”...When women and children flee alone, being separated from their male relatives makes them vulnerable to trafficking and heightens their economic and psycho-social stress.<br />
<br />
But when it comes to the martial law, [[gay]] men I spoke with say unequivocally that the [[discrimination]] they face is not because they are gay, but simply because they are men. One gay man, who requested anonymity, told me he had attempted to leave the country with his husband. “When we got to the border it was a female guard who turned us back,” he said. “It’s not because I’m gay, it’s because I have a penis,” he added. His husband, an American attorney, was permitted to leave but chose to stay in harm’s way with his husband.

The Kyiv “Independent” was slapped together in November 2021 with what the Committee to Protect Journalists called “an emergency grant from the European Endowment for Democracy.” The European Endowment for Democracy is a spinoff of the U.S. government-funded “[[NGO]]” National Endowment for Democracy (NED), which according to its own co-founder was set up to do overtly what the [[CIA]] used to do covertly, namely orchestrate [[coup]]s and manage narratives to advance U.S. interests.

[[Joe Lauria]] of ''[[Consortium News]]'' reported that on March 30, 2022, according to the Russian Defense Ministry, all Russian forces left Bucha. This was confirmed on March 31 Bucha mayor Anatolii Fedoruk in a video on the Bucha City Council official Facebook page. The translated post accompanying the video says:<br />
{{quotebox-float|“March 31 – the day of the liberation of Bucha. This was announced by Bucha Mayor Anatolii Fedoruk.

There was no mention of a massacre of hundreds of civilians littering the streets. Evidence of crimes appeared only on the fourth day after the Security Service of Ukraine and representatives of Ukrainian media arrived in the town.<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2022/04/04/questions-abound-about-bucha-massacre/</ref><br />

''The New York Times'' was in Bucha on April 2, 2022, and did not report a massacre. Instead, the ''Times'' confirmed the Russian withdrawal was completed two days after the mayor of Bucha said it was, and that the Russians left “behind them dead soldiers and burned vehicles, according to witnesses, Ukrainian officials, satellite images and military analysts.” The ''Times'' said reporters found the bodies of six civilians. “It was unclear under what circumstances they had died, but the discarded packaging of a Russian military ration was lying beside one man who had been shot in the head,” the paper said. In Bucha, the ''Times'' was close to the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion, whose soldiers appear in the newspaper's photographs. The ''Times'' suggests that Azov Nazis may be responsible for the killings:<br />
{{quotebox-float|“Something very interesting then happens on [Saturday] 2 April, hours before a massacre is brought to the attention of the national and international media. The US and EU-funded Gorshenin Institute online [Ukrainian language] site Left Bank announced that:<br />
<br />

The city is being cleared from saboteurs and accomplices of Russian forces.’''<ref>https://en.lb.ua/news/2022/04/02/12441_special_forces_regiment_safari.html</ref><br />
<br />
The Russian military has by now completely left the city, so this sounds for all the world like reprisals. The state authorities would be going through the city searching for ‘saboteurs’ and ‘accomplices of Russian forces.’ Only the day before [Friday], Ekaterina Ukraintsiva, representing the town council authority, appeared on an information video on the Bucha Live Telegram page wearing military fatigues and seated in front of a Ukrainian flag to announce ‘the cleansing of the city.’ She informed residents that the arrival of the Azov battalion did not mean that liberation was complete (but it was, the Russians had fully withdrawn), and that a ‘complete sweep’ had to be performed.”}}<br />
On April 3, 2022, when the story broke, Russia immediately requested a meeting if the [[UN Security Council]] for the following Monday, April. The [[United Kingdom]], another permanent member of the Security Council, [[veto]]ed holding a Security Council meeting in the matter. <br />

Former leader of the Socialist Party of Ukraine, Ilya Kiva said that the story in Bucha was planned and prepared in advance by the [[counterintelligence]] of Ukraine, with the assistance of the British [[MI6]]. Kiva said, <br />

<br />
On October 19, 2022, UK defense minister Ben Wallace flew to [[Washington, D.C.]] to discuss an important matter face-to-face with unknown persons that could not be handled over NATO's regular electronic secure communications. Neither Washington nor the UK defense ministry issued a press release on the substance of the discussions. On October 21, Russian defense minister Sergey Shoigu had his first phone call with US defense minister [[Lloyd Austin]] since May 2022. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense read out on the call, the two "discussed issues of international security, including the situation in Ukraine."<br />
<br />
On October 23, 2022, at 1:30 PM [[Moscow]] time it was reported that Russian defense minister Shoigu conveyed to his [[France|French]] counterpart his concerns about possible provocations by Ukraine with the use of a nuclear dirty bomb. At 2:46 PM local time another update from the Russian Ministry of Defense (MOD) reported that defense minister Shoigu conveyed to his [[Turkish]] counterpart his concerns about a possible provocation with the use of a dirty bomb. At 5 PM local time there was a third conversation between the Russian defense minister and the minister of defense of the [[United Kingdom]] about the possible provocation by Ukraine with a dirty nuclear bomb. At 6:30 PM local time there was a final conversation between Shoigu and the Biden minister defense.<br />

Russian media reported that according to credible sources in various countries - including in Ukraine - the [[Kyiv regime]] is preparing a provocation on its territory related to the detonation of the so-called "[[dirty bomb]]" or low-yield [[nuclear weapon]]. The purpose of the provocation is to accuse Russia of using [[weapons of mass destruction]].<ref>https://seemorerocks.is/what-russian-media-is-saying/</ref> According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, Volodymyr Zelensky has been in contact with the [[UK]] "to obtain nuclear weapons technology," Lieutenant-General [[Igor Kirillov]], Chief of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Troops of the Russian Armed Forces said on October 23, 2022. Gen. Kirillov alleged that the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) plan on using a [[false flag]] provocation to detonate a "dirty bomb," a nuclear weapon with explosives, such as dynamite, with [[radioactive]] powder or pellets. The provocation was being prepared to subsequently accuse Russia of using weapons of mass destruction.

[[File:FT Zelensky.jpg|right|300px|thumb|The globalist mouthpiece ''Financial Times'' of London, which led the world in spreading Russophobia and cheerleading for war, openly criticized Zelensky's lying about Ukraine's false flag attack on a NATO ally to incite direct NATO involvement with troops and risk global thermonuclear war.<ref>https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/11/ukraine-open-thread-2022-201.html</ref>]]<br />
On November 15, 2022, two Ukrainian [[S-300]] missiles, alleged to have been launched to shoot down a Russian [[cruise missile]], were fired westward and hit a Polish grain storage facility, killing two civilians. The Polish government, Ukrainian government, the ''[[Associated Press]]'',<ref>https://apnews.com/article/nato-ap-news-alert-europe-poland-government-and-politics-ba48101fd25c86e68e57dc56fe2adf80</ref> most of all Western propaganda media and so-called national security and intelligence experts called for invoking NATO Article 5.<ref>https://twitter.com/anders_aslund/status/1592616431291535360</ref> Zelensky advisor [[Mykhailo Podolyak]] declared that the strikes came from Russia. Ukrainian foreign minister [[Dmytro Kuleba]] claimed Russian denials were a [[conspiracy theory]] and that “No one should buy Russian propaganda or amplify its messages."<ref>https://twitter.com/DmytroKuleba/status/1592632386751434752?s=20&t=TtnVQsVODlidTZoknWqWpg</ref> Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted that the “Russian attack on collective security in the Euro-Atlantic is a significant [[escalation]]” of the conflict.<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/15/world/kyiv-strikes-russia-zelensky-peace-intl/index.html</ref><br />
<br />
However an AWAC radar plane and other ISR aircraft (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) aircraft regularly flying in the region, and ground radar, tracked the missiles' trajectory and determined the Kyiv regime had launched the missiles. That did not prevent an anonymous "senior U.S. intelligence official" from reporting to the ''Associated Press'' that Russia had fired the missiles at Poland. The [[fake news]] story was disseminated globally, as all fake news stories emanating from Kyiv, and its CIA counterparts in Kyiv, have been disseminated globally to world media for the entirety of 2022 and late 2021.<br />
<br />
When called out on the [[lie]]s, Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky doubled down. Both socialist premier Joe Biden and NATO chief warlord Jens Stoltenberg blamed Ukraine for the attack. Zelensky refuted the Western leaders' statements that the missile which killed two innocent civilians in Poland was Ukrainian. "I have no doubt that it was not our missile or our missile strike." Zelensky insisted that he received reports from the corrupt Armed Forces of Ukraine command that told him the missile attacks did not come from Ukraine," he told the people in a live nationwide address on Ukrainian state-controlled media.<ref>https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/11/16/7376663/</ref> The [[Russophobic]] ''Financial Times'' of [[London]] quoted a [[diplomat]] from a NATO country in Kyiv saying: “This is getting ridiculous. The Ukrainians are destroying [our] [[confidence]] in them. Nobody is blaming Ukraine and they are openly lying. This is more destructive than the [[missile]].”<ref>https://archive.ph/mxQ5K#selection-2029.34-2029.282</ref><br />

====Treatment of Russian POWs====<br />

Druzenko said: <br />
{{quotebox-float|"I have always been a great humanist and said that if a man is wounded, he is no longer an enemy but a patient.

Since 2014 when the Kyiv regime initiated the Donbas war against Russian civilians, some 500 doctors have worked with Druzenko's mobile hospital.<br />
<br />
On March 27, 2022, very disturbing videos emerged of mistreatment of Russian POWs by Armed Forces of Ukraine. One video shows Russian soldiers with canvas bags over their heads and then beaten in the face with rifle butts. The prisoners are shot in the kneecaps and genitals, and they are left on the ground to bleed to death. Several vans then arrive at the Ukraine military compound in Kharkiv, and as each POW is removed from the van they are shot in the knees. A second video shows Russian POW's lying face down in a paved courtyard, or compound, and then being shot in the knees from the rear.<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/03/27/zelenskyy-worried-about-western-financial-support-after-video-surfaces-showing-ukraine-military-torturing-russian-pows/</ref><br />

===Vladimir Putin point of view about the origin of the Ukrainian state explained to Tucker Carlson ===<br />
In his interview with Tucker Carlson, Vladimir Putin explained the origins of the Ukrainian state with the following statements.<ref>https://theduran.com/full-transcript-the-interview-of-president-putin-with-tucker-carlson-video/</ref><br />
<br />
Vladimir Putin: Let’s look where our relationship with Ukraine started from. Where does Ukraine come from?<br />
<br />
The Russian state started to exist as a centralized state in 862. This is considered to be the year of creation of the Russian state because this year the townspeople of Novgorod (a city in the North-West of the country) invited Rurik, a Varangian prince from Scandinavia, to reign. In 1862, Russia celebrated the 1000th anniversary of its statehood, and in Novgorod there is a memorial dedicated to the 1000th anniversary of the country.<br />
<br />
In 882, Rurik’s successor Prince Oleg, who was, actually, playing the role of regent at Rurik’s young son because Rurik had died by that time, came to Kiev. He ousted two brothers who, apparently, had once been members of Rurik’s squad. So, Russia began to develop with two centers of power, Kiev and Novgorod.<br />
<br />
The next, very significant date in the history of Russia, was 988. This was the Baptism of Russia, when Prince Vladimir, the great-grandson of Rurik, baptized Russia and adopted Orthodoxy, or Eastern Christianity. From this time the centralized Russian state began to strengthen. Why? Because of a single territory, integrated economic ties, one and the same language and, after the Baptism of Russia, the same faith and rule of the Prince. The centralized Russian state began to take shape.<br />
<br />
Back in the Middle Ages, Prince Yaroslav the Wise introduced the order of succession to the throne, but after he passed away, it became complicated for various reasons. The throne was passed not directly from father to eldest son, but from the prince who had passed away to his brother, then to his sons in different lines. All this led to the fragmentation and the end of Rus’ as a single state. There was nothing special about it, the same was happening then in Europe. But the fragmented Russian state became an easy prey to the empire created earlier by Genghis Khan. His successors, namely, Batu Khan, came to Rus’, plundered and ruined nearly all the cities. The southern part, including Kiev, by the way, and some other cities, simply lost independence, while northern cities preserved some of their sovereignty. They had to pay tribute to the Horde, but they managed to preserve some part of their sovereignty. And then a unified Russian state began to take shape with its centre in Moscow.<br />
<br />
The southern part of the Russian lands, including Kiev, began to gradually gravitate towards another ”magnet“ – the centre that was emerging in Europe. This was the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. It was even called the Lithuanian-Russian Duchy, because Russians were a significant part of its population. They spoke the Old Russian language and were Orthodox. But then there was a unification, the union of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland. A few years later, another union was signed, but this time already in the religious sphere. Some of the Orthodox priests became subordinate to the Pope. Thus, these lands became part of the Polish-Lithuanian state.<br />
<br />
During decades, the Poles were engaged in the ”Polonization“ of this part of the population: they introduced their language there, tried to entrench the idea that this population was not exactly Russians, that because they lived on the fringe (u kraya) they were “Ukrainians”. Originally, the word ‘Ukrainian’ meant that a person was living on the outskirts of the state, near the fringe, or was engaged in border service. It didn’t mean any particular ethnic group.<br />
<br />
So, the Poles were trying in every possible way to polonize this part of the Russian lands and actually treated it rather harshly, not to say cruelly. All that led to the fact that this part of the Russian lands began to struggle for their rights. They wrote letters to Warsaw demanding that their rights be observed and that people be commissioned here, including to Kiev…<br />
<br />
Tucker Carlson: I beg your pardon, can you tell us what period… I am losing track of where in history we are?<br />
<br />
Vladimir Putin: It was in the 13th century.<br />
<br />
Now I will tell what happened later and give the dates so that there is no confusion. And in 1654, even a bit earlier, the people who were in control of the authority over that part of the Russian lands, addressed Warsaw, I repeat, demanding their rights be observed that they send to them rulers of Russian origin and Orthodox faith. When Warsaw did not answer them and in fact rejected their demands, they turned to Moscow so that Moscow took them away.<br />
<br />
So that you don’t think that I am inventing things… I’ll give you these documents…<br />
<br />
Tucker Carlson: It doesn’t sound like you are inventing it, but I am not sure why it’s relevant to what’s happened two years ago.<br />
<br />
Vladimir Putin: But still, these are documents from the archives, copies. Here are letters from Bogdan Khmelnitsky, the man who then controlled the power in this part of the Russian lands that is now called Ukraine. He wrote to Warsaw demanding that their rights be upheld, and after being refused, he began to write letters to Moscow asking to take them under the strong hand of the Moscow Tsar. There are copies of these documents. I will leave them for your good memory. There is a translation into Russian, you can translate it into English later.<br />
<br />
Russia would not agree to admit them straight away, assuming that the war with Poland would start. Nevertheless, in 1654, the Pan-Russian Assembly of top Clergy and Landowners headed by the Tsar (Zemsky Sobor), which was the representative body of power of the Old Russian state, decided to include a part of the Old Russian lands into the Moscow Kingdom.<br />
<br />
As expected, the war with Poland began. It lasted 13 years, and then in 1654, a truce was concluded. And 32 years later, I think, a peace treaty with Poland, which they called ”eternal peace,“ was signed. And these lands, the whole left bank of the Dnieper, including Kiev, went to Russia, and the whole right bank of the Dnieper remained in Poland.<br />
<br />
Under the rule of Catherine the Great, Russia reclaimed all of its historical lands, including in the south and west. This all lasted until the Revolution. Before World War I, Austrian General Staff relied on the ideas of Ukrainianization and started actively promoting the ideas of Ukraine and the Ukrainianization. Their motive was obvious. Just before World War I they wanted to weaken the potential enemy and secure themselves favourable conditions in the border area. So the idea which had emerged in Poland that people residing in that territory were allegedly not really Russians, but rather belonged to a special ethnic group, Ukrainians, started being propagated by the Austrian General Staff.<br />
<br />
As far back as the 19th century, theorists calling for Ukrainian independence appeared. All those, however, claimed that Ukraine should have a very good relationship with Russia. They insisted on that. After the 1917 Revolution, the Bolsheviks sought to restore the statehood, and the Civil War began, including the hostilities with Poland. In 1921, peace with Poland was proclaimed, and under that treaty, the right bank of the Dnieper River once again was given back to Poland.<br />
<br />
In 1939, after Poland cooperated with Hitler — it did collaborate with Hitler, you know —Hitler offered Poland peace and a treaty of friendship and alliance (we have all the relevant documents in the archives), demanding in return that Poland give back to Germany the so-called Danzig Corridor, which connected the bulk of Germany with East Prussia and Konigsberg. After World War I this territory was transferred to Poland, and instead of Danzig, a city of Gdansk emerged. Hitler asked them to give it amicably, but they refused.<br />
<br />
===Partitioning===<br />
[[File:Ukraine 2022.jpeg|right|300px|thumb|Map showing a proposed (but unlikely) scenario which includes [[Odessa]] and [[Kharkov]] in the [[Russian Federation]].]]<br />
When referendums For the Donbas, [[Kherson]], and [[Zaporozhye]] regions finally were held in September 2022, Russian Federation Foreign Minister [[Sergey Lavrov]] said in a speech to the United Nations General Assembly: “The people living there are essentially only reacting to what President Zelensky recommended for them to do in one of his interviews in August 2021…Back then, he advised everyone who feels Russian to go to Russia for the benefit of their children and grandchildren…That’s what the residents of said regions are doing now, taking their lands, on which their ancestors lived for centuries, with them”.<br />
<br />
====Polish revanchism====<br />
[[File:A Skeptic's Best Guess On Final Map (Revised).PNG|left|300px|thumb|Military blogger A Skeptic's best guess estimate of final borders, revised June 2023.]]<br />
Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (FIS) stated that the Polish military’s priority “combat tasks” would include the gradual seizure of control over strategic facilities in West Ukraine. Poland discussed with the Biden regime an action to “reunite” with West Ukraine. According to [[Warsaw]]'s estimates, the entrenchment of the Polish military in West Ukraine would amount to a partitioning of Ukraine. On April 28, 2022 FIS spokesman [[Sergei Naryshkin]] said that Washington and Warsaw were planning to deploy a Polish “peacekeeping contingent” in the western part of Ukraine. <br />
{{quotebox-float|“According to information received by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Washington and Warsaw are working on plans to establish tight military and political control over ‘their historical possessions’ in Ukraine,”}}<br />
According to the FIS, the first stage of the “reunification” should be the introduction of Polish troops into the western regions of Ukraine under the guise of 'peacekeepers' with the participation of ‘willing states’. Warsaw has not yet been able to agree on potential participants in a ‘coalition of like-minded’,” the FIS said.<br />
<br />
At the same time, the FIS pointed out, the Polish leadership is not interested in “unnecessary spies” in its operation. “The so-called peacekeeping contingent is planned to be deployed in those parts of Ukraine where the threat of direct clash with the Russian Armed Forces is minimal. And the priority “combat tasks” of the Polish military will include gradual interception of control over strategic objects located there from the National Guard of Ukraine. Polish special services are already searching for “agreeable” representatives of the Ukrainian elite to form a Warsaw-oriented “democratic” counterweight to the nationalists,” the FIS said in its report.<br />
<br />
Commander-in-Chief of the Polish Armed Forces Jaroslaw Mika signed on order to bring the Polish Army into a state of full combat readiness for the invasion of western Ukraine.<ref>https://youtu.be/DzHlHaphi3I</ref> This document was published online by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry.<ref>https://t.me/MedvedevVesti/9303</ref> According to the Polish government’s estimates, a deployment into western Ukraine is highly likely to split the country. Warsaw will essentially gain control of the territories where Polish "peacekeepers" will enter. Essentially, it is an attempt to repeat the historical “deal” for Poland after the [[First World War]], when the collective West, represented by the [[Triple Entente|Entente]], recognized Warsaw’s right first to occupy part of the Ukraine to protect its population from the “[[Bolshevik]] threat”, and then to incorporate those territories into the Polish state. The events that followed were a clear illustration of the [[colonialism|colonial]] order and forced Polonization as the main methods of building a ‘Greater Poland’,” the FIS concluded.<ref>https://southfront.org/transnistria29042022/</ref><br />
<br />
On May 3, 2022, Polish President [[Andrzej Duda]] said in a nationally televised speech,<br />
{{quotebox-float|"I hope that Ukraine will be a brotherly state to Poland; that it will not have a [[border]] between them, that there will in fact be no border; that we will live together on this land, rebuilding ourselves and building our common happiness, our common strength."<ref>https://twitter.com/intermarium24/status/1521652429024120832</ref>}}<br />
Other reports indicated that Ukrainian dictator [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] and his entire cabinet had been offered UK citizenship, by-passing the ordinary process for acquiring citizenship and in preparation for a government-in-exile of a shrunken landlocked Ukrainian [[rump state]].<ref>https://cmio.org/en/world/660051-representatives-of-zelenskys-office-received-british-citizenship-kiva-said</ref><br />
<br />
====Polish deployments====<br />
In late July 2023 Poland deployed two military brigades to the border with Belarus, as announced by the country's Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak. "We are talking about the 12th and 17th brigades. One of them is stationed in Kolna, at a new base opened last Saturday, the second is in Biała Podlaska, that is, near the border with Belarus," Blaszczak said. <br />
[[File:Polish revanchism.PNG|left|300px|thumb|Putin warns against joint NATO-Polish-Lithuanian-Ukrainian attempts to occupy Western Ukraine.<ref>https://youtu.be/ADfNeXnMBGs</ref>]]<br />
At a televised meeting of the Russian Security Council on July 21, 2023 the head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin, said: "The Polish leadership is strengthening its intention to control the western territories of Ukraine, in the western regions, by deploying its troops there." According to him, such a step is planned to be formalized as the fulfillment of allied obligations within the framework of the Polish-Lithuanian-Ukrainian security initiative - the so-called "Lublin Triangle". Russian President Vladimir Putin, in response, said that Poland expects to form a coalition "under the NATO umbrella", "tear off a fatter piece" in Ukraine. Putin also made a fairly deep excursion into the history of Poland of the twentieth century. He recalled how this country pursued an aggressive policy, occupying the Rusyn-populated part of [[Austria-Hungary]], the [[Vilnius]] region of Lithuania, annexed some historical Russian provinces, and in 1938 participated in the division of [[Czechoslovakia]] as a result of the [[Munich Agreement]] with [[Hitler]], occupying Cieszyn [[Silesia]]. Putin added, "I also want to remind you of how such an aggressive policy ended for Poland as a result. It ended with the national tragedy of 1939, when Poland was abandoned by the Western Allies to be devoured by the German war machine and actually lost its independence and statehood, which was restored to a large extent thanks to the Soviet Union. And it was thanks to the Soviet Union, thanks to [[Stalin]]'s position, that Poland received significant lands in the West, the lands of Germany. This is exactly right: the western territories of present-day Poland are Stalin's gift to the Poles. Have our friends in Warsaw forgotten about it? We will recall," the Russian president said.<br />
<br />
On Saturday, July 22, 2023 Russian Ambassador Sergei Andreev was urgently summoned to the Polish Foreign Ministry. Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Pawel Yablonski told the media that the meeting was "very short." And according to Andreev, the Russian side rebuffed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland. According to Andreev, the Polish Foreign Ministry did not hand him any formal note, "limiting himself to verbal expressions of his displeasure." As Andreev informed, in Warsaw, the greatest attention is paid to the words of the Russian leader that Poland received its western lands thanks to the position of Joseph Stalin at the [[Yalta conference|Yalta]] and [[Potsdam conference]]s despite the objections of the WWII Western allies. According to Andreev, it is difficult to say why Warsaw concentrated on this particular moment. "Perhaps the reasons were an emotional reaction or lack of professionalism," Andreev concluded.<br />
<br />
And in the Polish Foreign Ministry, where they are accustomed to the restrained reaction of the Russian Federation to anti-Russian actions such as the seizure of a school in Warsaw or an attack on the ambassador during the laying of wreaths at a military cemetery, a change in Moscow's position was noticed. The Deputy Foreign Minister of Poland said: "The attitude of the ambassador indicates that Russia does not intend to achieve any goals through diplomatic means."<br />
<br />
French journalist Jean-Dominique Marchais confirmed reports on Poland's preparations to invade western Ukraine: "I confirm that there are reflections, particularly in Poland and in the [[Baltic States]], about the creation of one of the multinational divisions, let's say including Ukrainian forces, Polish forces, if Russia could break through the front and resume the offensive there. I think there would indeed be such a division, as Poland and others, they would send troops outside of NATO.<br />
<br />
Jean-Dominique Merchet cites many official sources. This is not the first time this possibility has been mentioned. A few weeks ago Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the former head of NATO, already confirmed this with our ''Guardian'' colleagues: 'We know that Poland is very committed to supporting Ukraine, and I don't rule out that Poland will be more involved on a national basis and that the Baltic states will follow with a possible ground troop intervention'."<br />
<br />
According to a report by the Myśl Polska news agency in late August 2023, the number of Polish casualties in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine exceeded 10,000. This staggering figure has serious implications for both Poland and its military establishment, especially given that a significant proportion of the dead have been identified as Polish army reservists. This number of deaths would be more than 15% of all Polish ground forces. While some of these victims are referred to as volunteers and mercenaries, the majority are identified as Polish active duty soldiers and reservists.<ref>https://www.voiceofeurope.com/recorded-polish-casualties-in-ukrainian-conflict-exceed-10000/</ref><br />

Simon Schuster of [[TIME magazine]] reported on the grim Führerbunker stage of the conflict in late October 2023:<ref>[https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/time-magazine-profile-depicts-grim TIME Magazine Profile Depicts Grim Führerbunker-Stage of Zelensky's Conflict ], Simplicius the Thinker, November 2, 2023. simplicius76.substack.com</ref><br />
{{quotebox-float|"The usual sparkle of his optimism, his sense of humor, his tendency to liven up a meeting in the war room with a bit of banter or a bawdy joke, none of that has survived into the second year of all-out war. “Now he walks in, gets the updates, gives the orders, and walks out,” says one longtime member of his team. Another tells me that, most of all, Zelensky feels betrayed by his [[Western alliance|Western allies]]. They have left him without the means to win the war, only the means to survive it.<br />
<br />
But his convictions haven’t changed. Despite the recent setbacks on the battlefield, he does not intend to give up fighting or to sue for any kind of peace. On the contrary, his belief in Ukraine’s ultimate victory over Russia has hardened into a form that worries some of his advisers. It is immovable, verging on the messianic. “He deludes himself,” one of his closest aides tells me in frustration. “We’re out of options. We’re not winning. But try telling him that.”<br />
<br />
[...]<br />
<br />
“We’re not moving forward,” says one of Zelensky’s close aides. Some front-line commanders, he continues, have begun refusing orders to advance, even when they came directly from the office of the President. “They just want to sit in the trenches and hold the line,” he says. “But we can’t win a war that way.”<br />
<br />
When I raised these claims with a senior military officer, he said that some commanders have little choice in second-guessing orders from the top. At one point in early October [2023], he said, the political leadership in Kyiv demanded an operation to “retake” the city of [[Horlivka]], a strategic outpost in [[eastern Ukraine]] that the Russians have held and fiercely defended for nearly a decade. The answer came back in the form of a question: With what? “They don’t have the men or the weapons,” says the officer. “Where are the weapons? Where is the artillery? Where are the new recruits?”<ref>[https://time.com/6329188/ukraine-volodymyr-zelensky-interview/ ‘Nobody Believes in Our Victory Like I Do.’ Inside Volodymyr Zelensky’s Struggle to Keep Ukraine in the Fight], BY SIMON SHUSTER, OCTOBER 30, 2023.</ref>}}<br />
[[Alexander Mercouris]] of ''[[The Duran]]'' also gave an insightful review of the ''[[TIME magazine]]'' piece.<ref>[https://youtu.be/rVcvizqrjvQ?t=3637 Israel Operation Gaza; UN BRICS versus US; Zelensky Deluded, Ukr Defeated, Ukr Troops Demoralised], Alexander Mercouris, November 1, 2023. YouTube</ref> The consensus among observers was that the [[CIA]] was ready to throw Zelensky overboard, and perhaps [[Zaluzhny]] as well, and the ''TIME'' magazine piece along with other recent [[MSM]] reports was preparing the American public for the eventual 'cut and run' strategy of the United States.<br />

'''Roger Waters''' is a singer, songwriter and lyricist, who often plays bass guitar, and sometimes guitars. He is primarily known for being one of the creative geniuses of the progressive rock band [[Pink Floyd]]. After leaving the band in 1984, he began a moderately successful solo career. Roger Waters is a well-known philanthropist who gives annually to various religious charities<ref>http://www.roger-waters.com/fallen.php</ref> On the other hand, he became infamous as a bigot.<br />
<br />
In February 2022 Waters told an [[RT]] interviewer that Russia was responding to [[NATO]] provocations: "This war is basically about the action and reaction of NATO pushing right up to the Russian border – which they promised they wouldn’t do when [[Gorbachev]] negotiated the withdrawal of the [[U.S.S.R.]] from the whole of [[Eastern Europe]]."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/roger-waters-defends-branding-joe-biden-as-a-war-criminal-hes-fuelling-the-fire-in-the-ukraine-3284791|title=Roger Waters defends branding Joe Biden as a war criminal: "He's fuelling the fire in the Ukraine"|last=Robinson|first=Ellie|date=7 August 2022|website=[[NME]]|access-date=|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220810230610/https://www.nme.com/news/music/roger-waters-defends-branding-joe-biden-as-a-war-criminal-hes-fuelling-the-fire-in-the-ukraine-3284791|archive-date=10 August 2022|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://ultimateclassicrock.com/roger-waters-joe-biden-war-criminal/|title=Why Rogers Waters Calls Joe Biden 'A War Criminal'|last=Rapp|first=Allison|date=8 August 2022|website=Ultimate Classic Rock|access-date=|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220810201200/https://ultimateclassicrock.com/roger-waters-joe-biden-war-criminal/|archive-date=10 August 2022|url-status=live}}</ref> In another interview, Waters said the invasion of Ukraine was "probably the most provoked invasion ever" and refused to "see Russia from the current [[Russo-phobic]] perspective".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Willman |first=Chris |date=2023-02-08 |title=Roger Waters Addresses U.N.

<br />
Waters was added to the [[Ukrainian]] [[neo-Nazi]] [[Myrotvorets|kill list]] in August 2022.<ref>https://dxczjjuegupb.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Selection_053-1024x768.jpg</ref> <br />
<br />
However he also criticized [[Putin]].<br />
In his 2023 address, given at the invitation of Russia, which Mr. Waters said had mounted an “illegal” invasion that he condemned in “the strongest possible terms.” But in his next breath, he said the invasion “was not unprovoked,” and condemned “the provocateurs just as strongly,”<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/09/world/europe/pink-floyd-roger-waters-ukraine.html Roger Waters of Pink Floyd weighs in on the war in Ukraine, again.], ''NYT'', Feb 9, 2023</ref> in "the strongest possible terms".<ref>{{Cite news |last=Nichols |first=Michelle |date=2023-02-08 |title=Invited by Russia, Roger Waters tells UN: Ukraine invasion illegal |language=en |work=[[Reuters]] |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/invited-by-russia-roger-waters-tells-un-ukraine-invasion-illegal-2023-02-08/ |access-date=}}</ref><br />
<br />
On 5 September 2022, the day after Olena Zelenska, wife of Ukrainian dictator Vladimir Zelensky, appeared on the [[BBC]], Waters published an open letter to her. He argued that [[the West]] should not support Ukraine with weapons, and that the West, led by the US, was interested in prolonging the war. He urged her husband to end the war based on the [[Minsk agreements]].<ref>[https://www.pressenza.com/2022/09/an-open-letter-to-mrs-olena-zelenska-from-roger-waters/ An Open letter to Mrs Olena Zelenska from Roger Waters], pressenza.com, 05.09.22, Independent Media Institute</ref> Waters's concerts in [[Poland]] were cancelled following the comments.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Easton |first=Adam |date=25 September 2022 |title=Roger Waters gigs in Poland cancelled amid Ukraine backlash |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-63026101}}</ref> <br />

Geffen first wrote that "a few days ago I moved house and as part of the move I also sorted through my huge record collection. When I got to your solo albums something in me prevented me from moving them to my new home. Today you turned up the engine of lies, hatred and anti-Semitism.

Geffen continued to attack: "How dare you tell the world that there were no rape cases? That there are no children in captivity? Who are you protecting, the devil?

Today, you jacked up your web of lies, hatred, and anti-Semitism; today, you chose to target the women who were unjustly raped in the Hamas invasion. Women who, like the other hostages, did no harm to anyone. All they did was sleep in their beds. I believe many of them listened to your songs…<br />
How dare you say there were no cases of rape? That there are no children in captivity? Who are you defending? The devil?<br />
Just to remind you, on October 6th, there was a ceasefire. The next morning, 1,500 people were murdered, and countless women were raped. This has been proved repeatedly. What conspiracy are you alluding to? You lost your father in the war against Hitler, but maybe there is a little something of Hitler in you?<br />
Between the lines of your hate-filled ramblings, I sense you are blaming the Jews for the loss of your father, but you need to rise above this primitive psychological association. Considering your age, your time could be put to better use…<br />
Or maybe it’s your ex-girlfriend, the Palestinian, Rula Jebreal. Are you still trying to impress her with your lies?<br />
A few years ago, I visited you at your home in the Hamptons. You asked if we could arrange a concert together, for Palestinians and Israelis, in Ramallah. I explained the technical difficulties in arranging for Israelis to cross into Ramallah. You wanted them to cross bearing candles, and I said, “Roger, I’m more concerned about them ever making it back alive from the concert…”<br />
So there you are, Roger, people were murdered and raped, without your concert, and without Israelis crossing into Ramallah.<br />
On the way to our meeting, I thought I was going to meet a pinnacle, and I returned to the apartment in New York feeling I had encountered a pit – a pit of ignorance, a ditch of attention-seeking, a crater of irrelevance.<br />
I pray for the return of all the hostages and await your apology to all the victims and captives of October 7th.<br />
You are a modern-day hangman, out of touch, and evil.<br />
Thank God we have Gilmour.<br />
Aviv Geffen.</small></blockquote><br />

Former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters on Friday defended his use of an anti-Jewish slur, after a documentary film said he had proposed writing the racist term on an inflatable pig used as a concert prop.<br />
<br />
The 37-minute film, titled “The Dark Side of Roger Waters,” was released by the UK-based advocacy group Campaign Against Antisemitism on Wednesday [September 27].<br />
<br />
The filmmakers interviewed Waters’ former bandmates and staffers, who recounted anti-Jewish rhetoric from the rock star.<br />
<br />
The documentary also revealed a 2010 email in which Waters asked his crew if they could add antisemitic tropes to a stage prop for his concert tour.<br />
<br />
“Hey Guys, Who’s going to make [prepare the] pig?” Rogers wrote in the email, referring to a large inflatable pig that drifts over the audience at his concerts. Waters said he “imagined” the pig plastered with slogans including “dirty k##e,” a deeply offensive, racist term for Jewish people.<br />
<br />
He also suggested writing dollar signs, “follow the money,” “scum,” and Stars of David on the pig, among other slogans and symbols, according to the film.<br />
<br />
In a Friday statement posted to his website and shared on X, Waters appeared to confirm that the email was genuine, and did not apologize for using the term.</small></blockquote></ref><br />

|This spinoff of the Jack Webb-produced series ''Dragnet'', also based on actual cases and more than one per episode, now focuses on LAPD street patrol officers Peter Malloy and James (Jim) Reed while demonstrating the same moral examples as ''Dragnet''. It was remade into a limited (Los Angeles and New York City) syndication show in 1989-1991 with unknown main players, new characters, and situations. None of the original series' three main players (Martin Milner, Kent McCord, William Boyett) ever fell victim to Hollywood Values: Milner and McCord stayed married to their same wives with whom were the only mothers of all their children between them. And despite Boyett's first marriage (1947-1950) to Willagene Wither ending in divorce, Boyett's second marriage in 1957 to Joan Amelia Reynolds lasted until his death in 2004, age 77, with nine children between them: Milner (who died in 2015 at age 83) had four, McCord had three, and Boyett (who died in 2004 at age 77) had two (with Joan) and became a grandfather twice over. The 1969 Season 2 episode, "Baby", is said to have been based on Kent McCord's own real life wife's birth of one of their own children that year.<br />

|TV-G<br />
|Regarded as one of the last of the classic TV sitcoms before the [[Norman Lear]] era started, The Brady Bunch taught many life lessons about growing up such as building [[self-confidence]], working, and telling the truth. It also promoted heavy family values where even if there’s disagreements, the family always sticks together, and is happy. In one of the early episodes, it had Christmas special where Carol sings ‘O Come All Ye Faithful’ at a Church service making it one of the few [[List of Christmas specials that reference the birth of Jesus Christ|Christmas specials that references the birth of Jesus Christ]]. However, its messaging proved to be too late, as it’s ratings never broke the Nielsen top 30, while ''[[All in the Family]]'' reached number 1 in five of its nine seasons. The show’s cult following got it a poorly received variety show with the whole cast (except Eve Plumb as Jan), a miniseries featuring Marcia and Jan getting married, and a acclaimed made-for-TV Christmas movie in 1988. Following it was a 1990 continuation with a darker tone, and two theatrical movies in 1995 and 1996 respectively.

|When a terrorist attack destroys the Capitol building, killing several high-ranking members of government, including the President, a low-ranking member is the designated survivor and becomes the President of the United States. A pro-Trump series through and through, but ''the show itself'' graduates from more liberal to more movement conservative. Tackles issues such as Confederate monuments, Islamic terrorism, interventionism, diplomacy, and even the bully tactics of both Democrats and Republicans. The show portrays several situations in which President Trump has been, and shows the protagonist doing exactly what President Trump has done in each one. When confronted with both Democrats and Republicans, the President decides to kowtow to neither one; in negotiations with North Korea, he uses both the carrot and the stick. The protagonist's opponents even attempt to invoke the 25th Amendment to impeach him! In addition, after the President's character is shot, he is depicted waving to the audience on the balcony of his hospital bedroom in a similar manner to Ronald Reagan after his attempted assassination.<br />

|''[[Dragnet]]'' <br />
|1951–1959; 1967–1970<br />
|NBC<br />
|TV-PG<br />
|Sgt. Joe Friday (Jack Webb) and his partners (Ben Romero, Ed Jacobs, and Frank Smith in the 1951 original, Bill Gannon in the 1967 revival) solving actual cases from the files of the Los Angeles Police Department (with people's names altered to protect the innocent involved in the cases inspiring each episode). The officers educate viewers in law enforcement jargon and the Rule of Law, all the while showing fine examples of moral conduct, honor of oneself and others, and sacrifice for the good of the public. The 1967 revival also included more contemporary themes, such as increased drug use in society due to the rise of the counterculture, along with hippies, leftist and racist revolutionaries and other products of the counterculture openly displaying their contempt for the law and those who enforce it, although such characters invariably pay the price by the end of each episode for their bad choices. A second revival of ''Dragnet'' was planned by Webb in 1982, with him reprising his Joe Friday role again and with ''Adam-12'' star Kent McCord cast as Friday's new partner (possibly reprising his Jim Reed role from ''Adam-12''), but the revival was shelved following Webb's death from a heart attack on December 23, 1982. In 1989, it was remade for syndication and was shown only in limited markets like Los Angeles and New York as ''The New Dragnet'' through 1991.<br />

|''Duck Dynasty''<br />

|A&E<br />
|TV-PG<br />
|This reality series portrays the lives of the Robertson family, who famously turned duck calls into the magnificent business empire Duck Commander, stand by their strong Christian beliefs, and are active hunters. Liberals despise this series so much that they conducted two ploys to damage this wholesome show's reputation. First, in the series' early days, the liberal parent network A&E censored any use of the word "Jesus" in the prayers that close most episodes. Second, in December 2013, the staunchly liberal magazine Gentleman's Quarterly (GQ) infamously tricked patriarch Phil Robertson, who founded the family business, into being open about his conservative, anti-homosexual values, which led to Phil (who is not uneducated, as he holds a master's degree in education) being suspended from appearing in further episodes for nine days. The magazine also accused Phil of being racist simply because he said he never saw the mistreatment of any African American person in his younger days during the Civil Rights era. Poor Phil wasn't saying that he wasn't unaware of the prevalent race issues in the 1960s but that he grew up in an area where people lived and worked in harmony regardless of skin color, so he witnessed no acts of racism ''in person''.<br />

|''[[Even Stevens]]''<br />
|2000-2003<br />
|Disney Channel<br />
|TV-G<br />
|This wholesome family-centered sitcom follows the suburban Stevens family in Sacramento, California, with an emphasis on the dynamic between polar opposite siblings Ren and Louis, the latter of whom, despite his slacking and prank-loving tendencies, has his heart in the right place more often than his family realizes. While its main audience is intended to be children, it had a way of appealing to the whole family. Plus, it was the first live-action show of the Disney Channel of the 2000s, considered to be its best decade to date. In contrast to other contemporary sitcoms, patriarch Steve is fairly competent and mature as well as a voice of reason, although he does at times become very high tense and possess a short temper (which is usually justified due to Louis's antics). Unfortunately, this decade was followed by Disney Channel shows that are less classy, more obscene, politically correct and produced in formulaic, cookie-cutter fashion.<br />

As with many other police shows made during this period, many episodes from the early seasons of the series (from its 1968 debut to about 1973-74) showed the contemptuous and disrespectful behavior and attitudes displayed by the then-current young generation toward the police and traditional values due to the influence of the counterculture, along with the consequences paid by those of the counterculture who choose to flout the law and societal norms. A reboot of the series was launched in 2010.<br />

The show also demonstrates how the Flemings show respect for animals while training them to respect humans. See Australia's ''McLeod's Daughters'' below.

|''The Invaders''<br />
|1967–1968<br />
|ABC<br />
|TV-PG<br />
|In this Quinn Martin-produced science fiction series, architect David Vincent (played by Roy Thinnes) discovers a flying saucer landing outside an abandoned diner one night and attempts, often in vain, to warn the public about the alien invaders (who almost perfectly resemble human beings, save for a few distinguishing quirks - most notably a crooked pinky finger on each hand that the aliens are unable to bend) and their plans to infiltrate Earth society, take the planet over and annihilate its human population.<br />
<br />
The show's sci-fi format and alien invasion premise thinly veiled its political theme, particularly real-life concerns about the Communist invasion and infiltration of American society taking place during the [[Cold War]] (with the aliens serving as a analog of Communist spies and sleeper agents), demonstrated in the aliens' methods, very similar to the Communists' own ''modus operandi''; the use of lies, deceit and [[disinformation]] to fool officials and other members of the public, as well as [[discrediting attack|discrediting]], [[brainwashing]], [[mind control]] and violence to deal with anyone who has found out about the aliens' existence to keep them from stopping the aliens from executing their diabolical plans. A two-part sequel miniseries, with Thinnes reprising his role as a now-older David Vincent and also starring Scott Bakula as Nolan Wood (who takes up Vincent's mantle of warning mankind about the alien invasion of Earth), aired on Fox in 1995.<br />

|2015-2018<br />
|Fox<br />
|PG<br />
|Despite being created by liberal ''Saturday Night Live'' alumnus Will Forte, as well as its outbursts of bathroom humor, this post-apocalyptic sitcom seems to show conservative, pro-family and pro-friendship values consistently winning in the end. Forte portrays the initially unsympathetic title character, the loser everyman Phil Miller, who believes he is the only human survivor after a deadly virus killed most of the world's human and animal population about a year earlier. He scours North America for other signs of life and, upon failing to find anyone else, returns to his hometown of Tucson, Arizona, where he engages in all sorts of hedonism and nihilism until he nearly attempts suicide. Right before crashing his truck into a boulder, he discovers surviving woman Carol Pilbasian, who believes in traditional marriage and encourages Phil to become a more moral and honest person. <br />
<br />
As the series progresses, they are joined by more survivors, who are all consistently annoyed by Phil's selfish, nihilistic attitude and personality, thus inspiring Phil to give up his wasteful, adulterous, sinful habits and grow into a better man than he was before the outbreak of the virus. Each time Phil tries to deviate from traditional family values, as when he develops an interest in one of the other female survivors and either tries to woo her or prove himself more desirable than other men in the group, his schemes backfire, and his actions are punished. Thus, the series teaches that it is more admirable to be part of a traditional family than to have casual sexual relationships with multiple women. Lastly, the show may promote Christianity because being an apocalypse survivor has given Phil either new or renewed faith in God, who answers each of his prayers in one form or another.<br />

|This refreshing sitcom stars Tim Allen as Mike Baxter, a marketing director for a sporting goods store chain called Outdoor Man, who strives to keep his manhood (fishing, hunting, sports and camping), and promotes conservative values (including supporting the military), in opposition to his antagonistic liberal daughter Kristin (the oldest of three daughters Mike has with his wife Vanessa) and her equally-liberal husband Ryan, who often clashes with both Mike and Vanessa over political, cultural and philosophical issues. Unlike the similar and more vehement clashes between Archie Bunker and Mike Stivic in ''[[All in the Family]]'' where the latter comes out on top due to Archie's ignorance and lack of ability to make cohesive arguments, the often clueless, dimwitted and hypocritical Ryan loses arguments with the more well-versed and level-headed Mike. Meanwhile, Mike gets along very well with his youngest daughter Eve due to their similar political views and interests, as he does with Boyd, Kristin and Ryan's son and Mike's grandson (as expected, Kristin and Ryan are not impressed that Boyd has more in common with his grandfather than with them). <br />

|This very pro-family, clean cut, clean living sitcom follows a traditional nuclear family, the Cleavers, from the perspective of the younger of the two sons. Unfortunately, their real lives off screen were hardly Cleaver-esque, as all of its main stars except Ken Osmond, who played Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver's archenemy Eddie Haskell, went through several divorces and remarriages between them while Osmond never became addicted, broke (bankrupt) or a criminal after the original show ended, unlike so many other former child stars. Osmond is still married to his only wife, Sandra Lee Purdy, since 1969, with whom he had two children, born 1971 and 1974 and after the original show ended, did something very opposite his "bad boy" Eddie Haskell persona: he became a police officer (Los Angeles Police Department) in 1970, retiring on medical disability in 1988 while repeating his original role in the 1980s cable-TV remakes of the original series; remakes that ran from 1984-1989 with a CBS pilot (first episode) in 1983 as a 20 year "reunion" TV movie titled ''Still the Beaver'', which became its own [[Disney Channel]] series from 1984-1985. In 1986, it became ''The New Leave it to Beaver'' on TBS until ending in 1989. Both the 1983 pilot and its following serieses had 'Beaver', 'Wally' and 'Eddie' as 1980s middle aged adults in a world of more depressing, serious and longer lasting 1980s problems.<br />

|2017-Present<br />
|CBS<br />
|<br />
|A reboot of the 1970s series. In addition to the overall story showing respecting the men in uniform and the police, the pilot episode had a condemnation of affirmative action as well as the main antagonists being a bunch of implied left-wing anarchists who were trying to deliberately fan racial hatred on both sides to introduce anarchy. In addition, the fourth episode, "Radical", has a condemnation of both Socialists/Communists and Professor Values, as the main threat in the episode was an expelled student radical who was going to blow up several businesses while repeating various rhetoric from left-wing socialist organizations like Occupy Wall Street, and the one who was responsible for the kid's actions was a professor in a political science course at the local college who orchestrated various socialist protests on the campus and was never fired despite his being the ringleader due to his having tenure (which was explicitly stated to have him completely immune from being removed from the school regardless of what actions his students took in his name unless he directly incited the students to commit murder), with their being depicted in a very negative light as a result. The second season's main antagonist was also an implied communist, and while it does show Chris adhering more to her bisexuality and also entering a polygamous relationship, the show nonetheless implies that it's ultimately a negative rather than a positive.<br />

|An anthology showcase series for the works of famed businessman and animator [[Walt Disney]], as well as being directly hosted by the man himself, it was the first of its kind and arguably the most successful version of its kind. It is also the second-longest running primetime show, behind the ''Hallmark Hall of Fame''. It showed various Disney films and even showed some new stuff from the then-recently released Disneyland, including episodes like The Liberty Story, an anthology episode composed of the live action and animated Greatest Conservative Movies ''Johnny Tremain'' and ''Ben and Me'', both of which dealt with the founding of the country. Even when liberal Michael Eisner took over Disney, he largely kept the conservative elements of the show intact. It was ultimately cancelled on December 24, 2008 due largely to Disney having expanded its influence to other channels outside ABC, including the Disney Channel. Coincidentally, it both began and ended on a Wednesday. <br />

|The wealthy Belcher family operates a fast food restaurant. Even though it is an adult cartoon, it does not use shock value as a crutch, and capitalism, family values, and fast food are all painted positively. One episode has Bob's wife Linda deciding to take flying lessons to spice up her marriage, but the instructor is a notorious serial womanizer who lures wives away to commit infidelity. Not only does Bob stand up for chivalry and try and rescue her, but Linda, when discovering this independently, makes clear she has no intention of cheating on her husband. This series supports the nuclear family since the Belcher children, Tina, Gene, and Louise, may tease each other, but will stick up for one another when needed, unlike most siblings in today's liberal media. To a lesser extent, the series pokes fun at environmentalists. <br />

Scrooge McDuck is shown to be fiscally responsible with good business sense, which is how he became rich after being born into a poor Scottish family. Scrooge also shows a strong paternal instinct for his great nephews and Webby. His house servants, butler/chauffeur Duckworth and cook/nanny Betina Beakley are treated as part of the family to the point where they stand by him even when he temporarily loses his fortune in "Down And Out In Duckburg."

The episode "Clash of the Titan" also shows Manny's father ending his partnership with Titanium Titan because he states his family was more important than his partnership. Although Grandpapi (Manny Rivera's grandpa) is a "villain", he's more of a comic relief character rather than a thoroughly evil character; on top of that, he is still regarded as part of the family.<br />

|''G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero''<br />
|1983-1989<br />
|First-run syndication<br />
|TV-G<br />
|Based on the G.I. Joe toy line, this series stands tall as one of the most conservative, pro-military, and pro-American cartoons ever made. The opening narration for the show by voice actor Jackson Beck explains the series premise: "G.I. Joe is the code name for America's daring, highly-trained special mission force. Its purpose, to defend human freedom against COBRA, the ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world." The show carries themes of patriotism, friendship, and teamwork. The show's depiction of Cobra shows terrorism in a negative light, with Cobra using common terrorist tactics, such as violence and extortion. <br />
<br />
The episode "Twenty Questions" paints the mainstream media in a negative light, with the media accusing the G.I. Joes of being a waste of taxpayer money, along with a conspiracy theorist claiming that Cobra is "fake" and their battles are "staged" (like the claims that 9/11 was an inside job to start the War on Terror). <br />
<br />
The episode "Cobra's Candidate" has an anti-crime, pro-family message. The Joes attempt to encourage a gang leader, Selar, to stop her acts of violence. She is later encouraged to give up her life of crime when other gang members insult her younger brother and he becomes trapped in a burning building when Cobra sets off a bomb. The other gang members turn against Cobra when they witness this act of cruelty.<br />
<br />
The two-part episode "Worlds Without End" has several of the Joes being transported to an alternate universe where Cobra has conquered the world, and they run it in a Communistic fashion where there are things like long food lines.<br />
<br />
The show also condemns the [[Social justice warrior]] mentality. The episode "Let's Play Soldier" has a scene in which Gung-ho apprehends a Southeast Asian pirate who says "Please let me go, I am an only innocent pawn of a Capitalist machine!" to which Gung-ho replies "This guy must've studied Political Science at UCLA." The main focus of the episode is on a group of half-white, half-Asian children who are referred as "dust children" by the locals, which makes the episode one of the few depictions of [[racism]] by non-white people in any media. <br />
<br />
The character Lifeline is a Christian. The episode "Second Hand Emotions" reveals that he comes from a devout Christian family but has a broken relationship with his preacher father over his choice to join the military since they are pacifists, even though he himself will not touch a weapon or do anything violent. He later reconciles with his father and the father admits that he loves his son. The episode ends with the wedding of Lifeline's sister and Lifeline's father (who is officiating the wedding) quotes Mark 10:9 "That which God has joined, let no man put asunder." Although it is a common quote in many real life weddings, this is one of the few fictional weddings to directly and explicitly acknowledge God.<br />

|This cartoon, based on Mattel's "Masters of the Universe" toyline, is pro-heroism and pro-family. The protagonist has been derided by modern feminists as an example of "toxic masculinity" but is actually very friendly and easygoing and is only violent when necessary. The series emphasizes the familial relationship between Prince Adam/He-Man and his parents King Randor and Queen Marlena, between Teela and her adoptive father Man-At-Arms (Duncan), and between Orko and his Uncle Montork. The episode "Trouble in Arcadia" contains an anti-feminist message. The land of Arcadia is ruled by women and the men are enslaved because Queen Sumana believes women to be superior and men are only good for manual labor. He-Man changes her mind when he saves the mines under the city from collapsing and Sumana agrees to encourage cooperation between the sexes.<br />

|A sequel TV series based on conservative animated Disney movie, ''[[The Lion King]]''. ''The Lion Guard'' tells of the adventures of Simba and Nala's son Kion as he carries out his duty as leader of the Lion Guard, tasked to protect the Pride lands and preserve the Circle of Life. The series is pro-family, as shown with most of the Lion Guard. Kion's parents - King Simba and Queen Nala, protagonists from the film - are responsible rulers and help Kion out sometimes (one episode has Nala giving Kion and his sister Kiara a challenge to prove their bond as siblings), Timon and Pumbaa adopt Bunga the honey badger as their nephew and treat him well, and Beshte the hippo looks up to his father and is shown to be as smart and friendly as he. The Guard even considers Fuli the cheetah as part of their family as well even when she's a solitary animal. Poaching is shown in a negative light, with animals like pre-reformed Janja the hyena and the jackals actively disregarding the Circle of Life so that they can hunt everything in sight. Redemption is also portrayed well, with animals like the aforementioned Janja and the crocodile Makuu reforming from their villainous ways to cooperate with their fellow animals.<br />

On some occasions the cartoons depicted Private Snafu's death as a result of failure to follow proper instructions. One of the cartoons, ''[[Spies]]'', was later used as an exhibit at the CIA-made [[International Spy Museum]]. (The term "snafu" is an acrostic which stands for "situation normal -- all fouled up", though "fouled" is usually replaced with the better-known expletive.)<br />

|TV-Y7<br />
|This Canadian CGI series was created by Ian Pearson and Gavin Blair, the makers of the CGI in the famous Dire Straits "Money for Nothing" music video. It takes place in a digital world called Mainframe where the Guardian Bob fights against the evil viruses Megabyte and Hexadecimal. His allies include Dot Matrix and her little brother Enzo. <br />
<br />
The series contains pro-family themes in its depiction of the familial relationship between Dot and Enzo, with Dot acting as a mother to Enzo due to their parents being deceased. Dot is very caring and protective of Enzo, while Enzo looks up to his sister and affectionately calls her "sis."<br />
<br />
The series promotes capitalism, as Dot is the owner of a Diner. In the second episode "Racing the Clock," Enzo aspires to be a capitalist like his sister by starting his own delivery service. <br />
<br />
The series also condemns the use of smear propaganda. In Season 3, the show's original protagonist, Bob, has been thrown into the Web, and Enzo, having been recently made a Guardian, carries on in his stead. However, Megabyte uses his minion, Cyrus, to launch a smear campaign to turn the Mainframers against Enzo. <br />
<br />
The series promotes redemption, as Cyrus eventually changes sides and helps Enzo win a "game" (a large purple cube that comes down and puts Mainframers in a virtual games world where they will be "nullified" if they lose to the Player Character, referred to as the "User"). Hack and Slash, Megabyte's two most prominent henchmen, as well as the virus Hexadecimal, also eventually turn good.<br />

|When Aku, an evil shapeshifting demon, devastates a boy prince's land in feudal Japan, the prince is sent around the world to train to become the ultimate samurai warrior. He returns home as a young man and sets out to use a divinely-crafted katana previously wielded by his sage father, the unnamed Emperor, to slay Aku. Before the prince can strike the killing blow, Aku opens a time portal to send him eons into the future, where the demon rules the world. The samurai adopts the name "Jack" upon hearing locals repeatedly refer to him as such and vows to fight Aku's oppression until he can return to his own time and undo Aku's future. Not only is the inventive series famous for bringing many artistic and technical innovations to animated cartoons, such as slower, more cinematic pacing and extended stretches of time without any spoken dialogue, it teaches audiences to value hard work and persistence even when goals are seemingly out of reach. Likewise, it draws a clear distinction between Jack as a paragon of good (if not a Christlike figure) who values family, friendship, unity, and selflessly helping people in need above all else; and Aku as the ultimate form of evil (analogous to Satan), who compulsively, nihilistically, and relentlessly pursues his selfish ambitions because he cannot stop his own diabolical nature. In a few episodes, Jack collaborates with a brutish and boisterous but well-intentioned, unnamed Scotsman who is his sole equal in melee combat and subtly promotes the Second Amendment by using a submachine gun as both a prosthetic leg and a supplemental weapon.<br />

|''She-Ra: Princess of Power (Filmation series)<br />
|1985-1986<br />
|First-run syndication<br />
|TV-Y7<br />
|The sister show to ''He-Man and the Masters of the Universe''. Although the titular protagonist, She-Ra herself, is female, the show does not promote radical feminism, instead promoting many of the same conservative themes as its spear counterpart. The pro-family themes are still present as the ''He-Man'' crossover episodes emphasize the familial bond between Adora/She-Ra and her brother Adam/He-Man and unlike a feminist, She-Ra does not act patronized by being protected by her brother. There is also a family bond between Glimmer and her mother Queen Angella and in the episode "Micah of Bright Moon," they are reunited with their husband/father King Micah. The series also has an anti-tyranny and pro-freedom message since the main characters are fighting in the Great Rebellion against the Evil Horde, a group of alien invaders led by the series antagonist Hordak. The Horde is shown to engage in cruel taxation in multiple episodes. The episodes "A Loss for Words" and "Book Burning" contain a pro-free speech message. In the former, the Horde's witch, Shadow Weaver, devises a spell that makes people unable to talk in order to prevent them from speaking out against the Horde. The latter is about censorship of information that goes against the Horde's [[narrative]]. Sadly, the series got a much more liberal reboot in 2018.<br />

|TV-Y<br />
|Part of Japan's ''World Masterpiece Theater'', which adapted various beloved children's classics, ''Tales of Little Women'' is an animated adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic story of four sisters growing into little women set against the [[Civil War]], while skillfully expanding on the source material, including showing [[capitalism]] in a positive light, mainly in the form of Jo's boss Henry Murdoch, owner and publisher of ''The Newcord Times'' (who hires former runaway slave John Marty), as well as being as pro-family as its source material.<br />

|Baloo (A character who first appeared in Disney's 1967 animated version of ''The Jungle Book'') works as a cargo pilot for a small business called "Higher for Hire." The business is owned by capitalist businesswoman Rebecca Cunningham. Although Baloo's employer is female, the series does not promote feminism because Rebecca shows respect for Baloo when he does something good and she makes mistakes sometimes. The series is also pro-family, as Baloo serves as a father figure for his adopted son Kit Cloudkicker and Rebecca is shown to be a loving, caring mother to her daughter Molly. <br />
<br />
The series also depicts Socialism, Communism, and Big Government in a negative light, as the recurring nation of "Thembria" (a stand-in for the Soviet Union) is a poverty-stricken nation constantly marred by big-government bureaucracy with long lines for basic government services. Its recurring representative, Colonel Spigot, acts like a Russian Commissar, constantly boasting about his country's "greatness" with no self-awareness of how terrible his country really is. Thembria is a Police State in which people are often charged with frivolous crimes as an excuse to imprison people. Thembria is depicted as having state-run media and total censorship of all foreign media. The state-run media broadcasts public executions to make "examples" of those who resist the State. Thembria's leader, the "High Marshall," is depicted as a totalitarian, egotistical Stalin-like figure who uses Communist cliches like "the people's [blank]."<br />

|1987-1996<br />
|First-run syndication (1987-1989), CBS (1990-1996)<br />
|NR<br />
|Loosely based on the comic book series of the same name by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman. Four anthropomorphic turtles, guided by their Master and father figure Splinter, an anthropomorphic rat who was formerly human (as depicted in the show's opening montage), and assisted by their friend, Channel 6 news reporter April O'Neil, fight to protect New York City from the evil forces of Shredder and Krang, in addition to other villains and criminals. The series contains pro-family themes as the turtles are brothers and their mentor Splinter acts as a surrogate father, whom the turtles treat with great respect. <br />
<br />
The series also depicts the Mainstream Media in a negative light, as the head of Channel 6, Burne Thompson, constantly attempts to slander the turtles and turn the public against them (much like J. Jonah Jameson from ''Spider-Man''). Also, in the episode "Turtles on Trial," a slimy, sleazy talk show host named "Clayton Kellerman" (an obvious reference to liberal talk show host David Letterman) mocks, insults, and slanders the turtles very badly, and even after they save his life, he still refuses to recant his slander because he "has a reputation to uphold and [he] didn't get it by being a nice guy." The only positive member of the media is April, who acts very much like a modern Internet pundit countering the slander against the Turtles and revealing the truth.<br />
<br />
The show also has an anti-pacifist message:<br />
<br />
In the episode "Hot-Rodding Teenagers from Dimension X" the "Neutrinos" are introduced as a group of Pacifists from Dimension X (The dimension where the main villain Krang and his Technodrome are from) who don't want to fight and just want to have fun. They are shown having lots of fun on Earth (without any teenage vices) and don't want to go back to the war in Dimension X. But by the end of the episode, they realize the necessity of fighting against the forces of Krang in Dimension X. <br />
<br />
In the episode "Attack of the Big MACC," MACC is introduced as a soldier robot from the future who doesn't want to fight anymore (like No. 5 from ''Short Circuit''), but by the end of the episode, the Turtles convince him to become a "soldier for peace," indicating that peace will only come if it is fought for.<br />
<br />
In "Planet of the Turtleoids," the titular race of anthropomorphic turtles are pacifists who live in the idyllic city of "Shell-ri-la" are defenseless against a two-headed dragon named Herman the Horrible (who turns out to be a machine piloted by two corrupt members of Shell-ri-la's own government). This demonstrates how pacifism merely leaves a nation at the mercy of any aggressor who might attack it.<br />
<br />
The episode "Shredderville" shows the failure of a centrally-planned economy. In the episode, the Turtles find themselves in an alternate reality where they never existed and Shredder succeeded in taking over the world. Unfortunately, as "Emperor Shredder," he attempts to micromanage the economy of his "empire" but can't keep up with all of the repair requests and thus the world is in a horrible state of disrepair.<br />

This miniseries is especially notable for the pilot episode ''The Mayflower Voyagers'', which due to it being bundled with ''A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving'' during Thanksgiving holiday airings is the only episode of the miniseries that actually gets reruns.<br />

|''The Transformers''<br />
|1984-1987<br />
|First-run syndication<br />
|TV-G<br />
|The Autobots protect Earth and humanity from their old enemies, the Decepticons. The show makes a clear distinction between good and evil by contrasting the protective, charitable, and altruistic Autobots vs the misanthropic, self-serving Decepticons. The show also promotes family with the relationship between Spike Witwicky and his father, Sparkplug, and later Spike's wife Carly and son Daniel.<br />
<br />
In the episode "Megatron's Master Plan," the Decepticons disguise themselves as Autobots in a [[False flag|False Flag Operation]] to frame the Autobots and they are helped by an unscrupulous human named Shawn Berger. As a result, the Autobots are banished from Earth, and the Decepticons take over and enslave humanity. Ironhide and Cliffjumper eventually persuade Optimus Prime to head back to Earth, on the understanding that it's better to protect the humans from the Decepticons even if they're not appreciated for it. After thwarting an attempt to push them into the sun, the Autobots liberate the humans from the Decepticons, vindicating themselves despite the lack of evidence of the False flag. In season 2, a new group of flying Autobots, the Aerialbots, are introduced. At first, they don't see the value of protecting humans since humans are smaller, weaker, and more frail than they are. Their attitude changes as they get to know the humans. The episode "Thief in the Night" eschews [[Political Correctness]] by depicting a Libya-like dictatorship called "Carbombya" and its dictator Abdul Fakkadi is an obvious reference to [[Muammar al-Gaddafi]]. Fakkadi is depicted as extremely egotistical and narcissistic, just like the real-life Gaddafi, and the name of his country is a reference to Gaddafi's support of [[Terrorism|terrorists]]. This episode offended liberal voice actor (and "Palestinian" sympathizer) Casey Kasem, who left the show over it.<br />

|''[[A Charlie Brown Christmas]]''<br />
|1965<br />
|CBS<br />
|G<br />
|Based upon the ''Peanuts'' comic strip created by Charles M. Schulz, the real meaning of Christmas is discussed in the first animated prime-time ''Peanuts'' TV special, as Linus quotes Luke 2:8-14. Decries the materialism that surrounds the Christmas holiday, making it one of the only [[List of Christmas specials that reference the birth of Jesus Christ|Christmas specials that references the birth of Jesus Christ]].<br />

|''Christmas Who''<br />
|2000<br />
|Nickelodeon<br />
|TV-Y7<br />
|Even though it comes from a television series called ''SpongeBob SquarePants'', which is arguably conservative, this particular episode is very great and conservative. It can be seen as both a parody of the classic conservative novel by [[Charles Dickens]] called ''[[A Christmas Carol]]'' as well as a Christmas special in its own right. After SpongeBob is introduced to Christmas by Sandy Cheeks (he humorously believes her treedome caught on fire, when in reality Sandy was putting up Christmas decorations), he is eager to celebrate with the rest of his friends. Squidward Tentacles starts out hating Christmas when SpongeBob first tells him about it, akin to Ebenezer Scrooge and his nephew, Fred, but ends up giving everything he owns to other citizens in Bikini Bottom.<br />
|-<br />
|''Frosty the Snowman''<br />
|1969<br />
|CBS<br />
|N/A<br />
|This animated adaptation of the classic Christmas song of the same name follows almost the exact narrative of the song and has an element of redemption when Santa Claus has magician Professor Hinkle, whose magic hat animates Frosty, craft apology letters for his earlier selfish actions and promises him a new magician's hat if he succeeds. It celebrates the innocence of childhood as well because main human Karen sees no evil in Frosty while other adults do. At one point, Frosty selflessly leaves the train with Karen, knowing he won't be able to travel to the North Pole after doing so due to seeing that she's cold inside the cold storage box and makes sure to create a fire to warm her up. Later had two sequels, one called ''Frosty's Winter Wonderland'', and the other called ''Frosty Returns''. The former acted as the direct sequel to the special and hasn't gotten any airings, and the latter was more indirect and annually airs alongside the original special on CBS the day after Thanksgiving.<br />

|''How the Grinch Stole Christmas''<br />
|1966<br />

|In this animated adaptation of the children's book by [[Dr. Seuss]] of the same name, the Grinch starts out being nihilistic and hating Christmas, but ends up knowing that Christmas is about more than just gifts and ends up giving all of the presents he stole back. This can additionally be seen as showing the importance of redemption as well as the unimportance of materialism. In addition, the special adds in a scene where the newly-reformed Grinch alongside his dog attempts to rush to retrieve the sled before it falls off the cliff, nearly getting killed in the process.<br />

|To celebrate Disney's 100th anniversary, every animated character at the Disney Animation Studio in Burbank, California, gathers for a group photo. While ultra-leftist Disney makes it and continues screwing up their movies afterward, it still honors its founder - [[Walt Disney]] - by Mickey Mouse reminiscing about his creator while gazing up at his portrait. When the preparation for the photo appears to be a failure, several characters begin singing "When You Wish Upon a Star" to lift everyone's moods, showing that hope can thrive even in difficult situations (the photo does continue, after all, and is a success). Family and friendship are also portrayed well in this short film.<br />

|Aired as part of the anthology series ''GE True'', Jack Webb (of ''Dragnet'' fame) hosted and narrated this special (originally released by the Armed Forces for showing in school classrooms in 1957 under the title ''Freedom and You'') which warned about the dangers of Communism and the attempts of Communists to infiltrate American society and overthrow the US Government in favor of a totalitarian Communist dictatorship. The special starred Jack Kelly (''Maverick''), Jeanne Cooper (later of soap opera ''The Young and the Restless'') and Pat Woodell (''Petticoat Junction'') as a family finding themselves subjected to the horrors of a Communist-ruled America in a nightmare experienced by the father (played by Kelly), with Peter Breck (later of Western series ''The Big Valley'') in a cameo role as a Russian Communist commissar and character actor Andrew Duggan as a "judge" in a Communist kangaroo court.<br />

|''Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer''<br />
|1964<br />
|NBC<br />
|N/A<br />
|This stop-motion animated adaptation of the Christmas song and poem of the same name follows an origin story for the title fictional reindeer as he runs away from home as a child due to discrimination based on his red nose, then returns home in adulthood to overcome this prejudice (as an allegory for overcoming racism) to ensure that Santa Claus will be able to fly his sleigh on a foggy evening. He succeeds beyond the odds by focusing his mind on his individualist goal, as does Hermie the elf when he chooses to be a dentist. The importance of family comes into play as well since Rudolph, after returning home to his parents' den and learning they themselves have left trying to find him when he fled the North Pole, attempts to find them, saving his friends in the process from the infamous Abominable Snowmonster of the North. A subtle redemption theme is present as well because the Abominable Snowmonster, after getting his teeth pulled out by Hermie to neutralize him, ultimately helps make Christmas a reality and became allied with the Elves at the North Pole. Supporting character Yukon Cornelius is a northern explorer and a model capitalist, who desires to find gold and/or silver but eventually settles for finding a peppermint mine in an exclusive deleted scene. The special airs annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving on CBS.<br />

|''The Beverly Hillbillies'' <br />
|1962-1971<br />
|CBS <br />
|<br />
|Although it depicts a conservative family from the South as silly, the show powerfully illustrates how material possessions do not define a person. Buddy Ebsen stars as Jed Clampett, patriarch of the hillbilly Clampett family, who became multi-millionaires after Jed struck oil on his land in the Ozark Mountains and moved with his family to Beverly Hills, California. However, the Clampetts never let their newly obtained wealth affect who they are as people, maintaining moral and simplistic lifestyles throughout the show's run (except in a few episodes in the final season where several of the female characters fell under the influence of [[feminism]] and began pushing a feminist agenda). Irene Ryan stars as Jed's mother-in-law Daisy May "Granny" Moses; Donna Douglas plays his beautiful, tomboyish, and animal-loving daughter Elly May Clampett; Max Baer portrays the dimwitted yet good-natured Clampett cousin Jethro Bodine; Raymond Bailey plays unscrupulous banker Milburn Drysdale; and Nancy Kulp stars as Drysdale's secretary Jane Hathaway. <br />
<br />
Popular throughout its run, ''The Beverly Hillbillies'' fell victim in 1971 to CBS' Rural Purge but has remained popular in syndicated reruns ever since and led to the 1981 reunion TV movie ''Return of the Beverly Hillbillies'', a 1993 TV special titled ''The Legend of the Beverly Hillbillies'', and a feature film remake of the series that same year. The film starred Jim Varney as Jed, Erika Eleniak as Elly May, Cloris Leachman as Granny, Diedrich Bader as Jethro, Dabney Coleman as Mr. Drysdale, and Lily Tomlin as Miss Hathaway, with a cameo by Buddy Ebsen (in his final acting role) as his other famous TV character, [[Barnaby Jones]].<br />

|[[CBS]]<br />
|TV-PG<br />
|Conservative police officer show, that also promotes family. Stars conservative actor Tom Selleck as officer Frank Reagan (a possible name reference to Ronald Reagan). It also features Christian principles, with religion playing a fairly major role in several episodes, and each episode also ending with the Reagan family saying prayers before a meal (with such an overt depiction of Christian principles being rare on present-day TV). In addition, the series is clearly pro-Law Enforcement, with episodes dealing with conflicts between the city hall and the police force being present and the characters trying to demonize the police force, some of which including journalists, being shown in a negative light. This is ultimately necessary especially given the anti-law enforcement agenda being pushed in various liberal media.<br />
<br />
That being said, however, more recent seasons of the series, largely due to the writers being replaced by more liberal writers, started adhering to more liberal and left-wing views, including moral relativism, leading to a decline in ratings as a result.<ref>https://www.conservativenewsandviews.com/2020/04/19/editorial/entertainment/blue-bloods-gone-oprah/</ref><br />

|Main character Captain Holt is an open homosexual in charge of the fictitious 99th police precinct in Brooklyn, New York City. However, his sexuality is downplayed for the most part, and this sitcom seems to humanize the police in an era when liberal news media does everything it can to dehumanize the authorities. It lightheartedly teaches that the police are kind, likeable everyday people with internal and interpersonal obstacles to overcome, and it averts the liberal idea that the police are "racist" with its multiracial main cast. On top of that, a number of villains that the detectives face are drug abusers or dealers, which supports war on illegal drugs, and Sgt. Terry Jeffords, one of the main characters, is a family man who prefers to act in the best interest of his wife and daughters.<br />

|The good guys protecting the public from criminals, yet arguably promotes police state and big government. Filmed on location in many exotic and mundane locales with actual law enforcement agencies, both here in the U.S. and abroad. On the other hand, the police are also clearly depicted in a positive light, which is ultimately needed especially in light of the liberal news media's current unjust demonization of them. The show unfortunately ended up cancelled by Liberal network executives due to the events of the Rayshard Brooks and George Floyd riots. However it has since returned on the Fox Nation streaming service.<br />

|Created by Art Clokey of Gumby fame, this stop-motion animated series depicts a wholesome, conservative, church-going American family. However, in order to appeal to a wider audience, this show never mentions the Gospel, or even Jesus, for that matter. It was also commissioned by the liberal Evangelical Lutheran Church in America<br />

|''Dinosaurs''<br />
|1991-1994<br />
|ABC<br />
|TV-Y7<br />
|This work by Jim Henson of ''Muppets'' fame tells of a family of dinosaurs named the Sinclairs adjusting to suburban life after millions of years of wild living. There are Earl the father (a stubborn and bumbling ''Megalosaurus'' who works as a "tree-pusher"), Fran the mother (a down-to-earth ''Allosaurus'' who is a housewife), Robbie the son (a teenager who often questions the way dinosaurs do things like eating meat and howling at the moon), Charlene the daughter (a typical teenage girl), and the Baby (a fully-talking and rambunctious baby dinosaur who often calls Earl "Not the Mama!"). There is even Fran's elderly mother Ethyl, who dislikes Earl.<br />
<br />
The show may have a lot of liberal subjects, but there are also some conservative moments as well. Earl tries his best to act as the father of the household in spite of his bumbling ways, while Fran makes sure to keep the house running from the homestead. There are times when Robbie and Earl clash over ideas (like Robbie wanting to be a vegetarian instead of a carnivore), but they make up at the end of the day and support each other. At his tree-pushing job, Earl works under the supervision of his boss B.P. Richfield, a ''Styracosaurus'' and the tyrannical and greedy owner of the WESAYSO Corporation. Friendship is even upheld in "The Howling", where Robbie helps repair the friendship between Earl and his co-worker Roy (a ''Tyrannosaurus Rex'') by getting them to howl so that they can get rid of their aggression; in that same episode, Roy even gives Robbie a pencil box as a present - the same pencil box that his father had given to him on his Howling Day - because he wanted to pass it on to someone in spite of not having kids of his own, thus he sees Robbie and the other Sinclairs as family. Another episode called "Earl and Pearl" ends with Earl reconciling with his country music-playing sister Pearl, even singing "Leaves and Trees" together at the end of the episode. Drug use is even condemned in a few episodes. One called "Steroids to Heaven" has Robbie eating little spiked creatures called Thornoids to impress a girl, to which his ''Polacanthus'' friend Spike - himself being a delinquent - calls him out for using the Thornoids and being aggressive as a result, trapping him with his newly grown spikes to wait until the effect wears off. The second called "A New Leaf" involves a plant that makes dinosaurs deliriously happy; Robbie even ends the episode by giving a speech warning against the use of drugs as well as humorously warning against the dangers of preachy anti-drug episodes.<br />
<br />
In spite of these conservative moments, the show touches a lot of liberal subjects, from gender confusion to feminism. An episode even has a scenario resembling people coming out as homosexuals, only that Robbie wants to be more herbivore than carnivore and eat more vegetables, which Earl sees as going against the "natural order" (the food chain). Another episode features an in-show TV show about a dinosaur admitting that he's a "cross-eater" and says that he feels like a carnivore in an herbivore's body, which seems to be a metaphor for being transgender or a cross-dresser. The biggest subject the characters discuss throughout the series is environmentalism, from leaving forests intact to avoiding the eradication of endangered species. At the end of the series, wiping out a certain species of beetle that depends on a certain species of flower sadly leads to the eventual extinction of the dinosaurs, who face certain doom from the resulting Ice Age.<br />

|Nickelodeon<br />
|TV-Y7<br />
|The main protagonist, Timmy Turner, commonly wishes for things from his quirky fairy godparents that aren't the best, but he almost always learns his lesson in the end. The series, created by Christian animator Butch Hartman, exposes the dangers of wishing for one's personal gain at the expense of others. Furthermore, it lightly pokes fun at the public school system: Denzel Crocker, a teacher and a regular antagonist, is completely insane and obsessed with both giving poor grades and trying to prove to the world that fairy godparents exist for his own personal gain.<br />
<br />
However, during later seasons, it has engaged in more liberal values, such as a joke in the series finale indicating that Timmy's father had gender confusion.<ref>https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e750e632fb32e537977853dd06fdb609bc776f04a81dab64be1fb9c5bd28ef1e.jpg</ref><br />

|The sitcom is about six young adults living in New York City. It often promotes alcoholism and sex outside marriage. But on a conservative note, the show condemns smoking and drug usage, and somewhat a condemnation of the homosexual agenda, as Ross’s life was negatively affected by his wife being lesbian, as well as Chandler's childhood being effected by his dad becoming a transgender. On top of that two of the characters; Ross and Monica are brother and sister, which could also give the show a pro-family aspect.<br />

|''Fuller House''<br />

|Netflix<br />
|TV-G<br />
|A more liberal-leaning sequel to the consevrative ''Full House'', which debuted on Netflix in 2016 and promotes more liberal values and politics (including the trashing of [[Donald Trump]] in the pilot episode) and shows them in a positive light, as well as looking very much like nearly every live-action [[Disney Channel]] show produced in recent years. Series star Candace Cameron Bure, who appears in both shows and was also a panelist on ABC talk show ''The View'' (acting as the conservative counterpoint to the show's heavily liberal panelists; she left due to the bi-coastal commute -- Bure lives in northern California -- keeping her away from her family, as well as to focus on her work with [[Hallmark Channel]]), is a born-again Christian and is socially conservative. The show is still pro-family. Jodie Sweetin, who played middle daughter Stephanie Tanner on both shows, recently came out as a full-fledged leftist who supports both [[Antifa]] and the Revolutionary Communist Party and is also a supporter of abortion who took part with Antifa punks in a pro-abortion "protest" in Los Angeles in June 2022.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/06/fuller-house-actress-jodie-sweetin-joins-antifa-protesters-blocking-highway-la-gets-shoved-ground-police-refusing-complyvideo/ Fuller House Actress Jodie Sweetin Joins Antifa Protesters Blocking Highway in LA, Gets Shoved to Ground By Police While Refusing to Comply] at the Gateway Pundit</ref><br />

|''Gargoyles''<br />
|1994-1996<br />
|ABC<br />
|TV-Y7<br />
|The depiction of Businessman David Xanatos as a villain hints at anti-capitalism and the episode "Deadly Force" hints at an anti-gun message. However, the series depicts the titular Gargoyles practicing voluntary charity as guardians of humanity. The series is also pro-family, as the Gargoyles are like a family to each other. Also, the series is pro-law enforcement with NYPD detective Elisa Maza being depicted in a positive light. Elisa has a positive relationship with her family as well. The series depicts hatred and revenge in a negative light, as personified by the evil Gargoyle Demona. She is a misanthrope who blames humans for all of the problems in her life, yet it's shown that most of them are the result of her own treacherous actions (much like how black criminals who are claimed to be victims of "police brutality" brought the actions on themselves through their own bad choices). <br />

|''God Friended Me''<br />
|2018-2020<br />
|CBS<br />
|<br />
|On the one hand, the TV series is pro-Christianity, and the main character, an outspoken atheist, is shown to be at least considering that "God" might be real after a chance encounter with the God account. On the other hand, one of the principal characters, the main character's sister, is a lesbian, with her father, a priest at the Episcopal church, implying that God is in her despite God condemning the practice of homosexuality.<br />

|''Gravity Falls''<br />
|2012-2016<br />
|Disney Channel, later Disney XD<br />
|TV-Y7<br />
|Inspired by the life of its creator, Alex Hirsch, this mystery/science fiction/horror comedy series follows twin siblings Dipper and Mabel Pines as they spend as summer in the fictional town of Gravity Falls, [[Oregon]], investigating the supernatural oddities surrounding the town with guidance from one of three journals left behind by an initially anonymous author.<br />
<br />
On the one hand, it stereotypes capitalists as either "criminals" or simply being obsessed with money: the twins' Great Uncle/"Grunkle" Stan is introduced as a relatively simple character whose only goal in life is to fool the "world's dumbest people" with a tourist trap dubbed The Mystery Shack and filled with pretend supernatural phenomena, hoping to earn their money. Even worse, throughout the series, recurring incompetent police officers Sheriff Blubbs and Deputy Durland are implied to have homosexual feelings for one another, and this is confirmed in the series finale.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, family and redemption seem to be central themes of the series in the long run. When Stan's long-lost twin brother, Stanford "Ford" Pines, returns from being trapped in another dimension and reveals himself as the author of the journals, the brothers come to grips with their personal flaws, and Stan shows how he truly regrets leading a life of crime, wishing things could have turned out differently and calling himself "the screw-up". He gets his chance at redemption when he and Ford together outwit Bill Cipher, an interdimensional dream demon and the series' main antagonist, and erase the monster from existence, which causes them to mend their relationship.<br />

|''[[Happy Days]]''<br />
|1974-1984<br />
|ABC<br />
|TV-G<br />
|Originally launched as a 1972 episode of ''Love, American Style'' called "Love and the Television Set" and set in the 1950s. The show was pro-family and celebrated family values, as the Cunningham family, the show's original main focus, always supported each other even through the rough times. The show is also pro-fatherhood. The show's main father figure, Howard Cunningham, is shown to be mature, calm and responsible, and always does his best to help his kids. Also a little anti-feminism, with Howard owning and running a hardware store and making all the money, and his wife Marion being the housewife. On the other hand, producers admitted to pushing [[pacifism]] and sentiments against the [[Vietnam War]] effort.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2011/jun/29/is-us-tv-too-leftwing</ref> Protagonist Richie Cunningham, a high school student played by Ron Howard as a regular from 1974 to 1980, is a supporter of the Democrat Party; as part of his school's Young Democrats club, he supports Democrat presidential candidate [[Adlai Stevenson]] in the 1956 election in the Season Two episode "The Not Making of a President" and, as such, is portrayed as young and idealistic yet naïve.<br />
<br />
Debuting to modest ratings in January 1974 after ABC green-lit it to series, ''Happy Days'' became a huge hit in its later years after the emphasis was shifted more to formerly supporting character Arthur "The Fonz/Fonzie" Fonzarelli (played by Henry Winkler); a greaser, former gang member, womanizer, and high school dropout who nonetheless became increasingly popular with the series' audience and became the main focus of the show after Howard's departure. The series spawned several spinoffs, including ''Laverne & Shirley'', ''Mork & Mindy'' (created as a vehicle for stand-up comedian [[Robin Williams]]), and the animated series ''The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang''.<br />

|Despite being dark and nihilistic and made by the creator of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, an adult oriented 1990s comic book, Dib is the protagonist who uses critical thinking to expose Zim as an alien. It also pokes fun at public schools where Ms. Bitters is a frightening and elderly teacher.<br />
|-<br />
|''Justice League''<br />
|2001-2006<br />
|Cartoon Network<br />
|TV-Y7<br />
|A [[charity|private non-profit organization]] lead by American icons [[Superman]], [[Batman]], [[Wonder Woman]] and other DC characters fight to help the helpless and fight for justice. The event where they were formed featured a condemnation towards anti-Second Amendment policies, as a senator advocates unilateral nuclear disarmament, the result of which led directly to an invasion from Mars by the Imperium (with said senator actually being an agent that took the place of the real senator during a brief incursion to Mars), with the only one who realized the problem posed by nuclear disarmament being a general. The episode "Fury" depicts feminism in a negative light, as the antagonist Aresia, a rogue Amazon, intends to kill all men in the world with a deadly allergen. Even Hippolyta, the normally misandristic leader of the Amazons, and Wonder Woman's mother, condemns her actions and reveals that a man actually saved her life when she was a child. In addition, another episode, "The Terror Beyond", features themes of Redemption as well as an implicit acknowledgement that God and Heaven exists, as the character Solomon Grundy, an undead character, sought to die and atone for his sins, ultimately doing so in order to stop the Icthultu (an obvious reference to Lovecraft), with Hawkgirl, an alien who doesn't believe in Christianity due to her cultural background, nonetheless assuring him that his soul is waiting for him in Heaven on his deathbed. A similar promotion of redemption exists with Hawkgirl's arc, as after she was involved in an invasion by her species before having a change of heart and stopping the invasion, she has to undergo a lot of effort to make up for her role, eventually having a tie-breaker from Superman allowing her back into the league after sufficiently redeeming herself. However, the later episodes did start being left-leaning (probably being bullied by left-wing producers) as there is an episode that the villain Chronos plans to go back in time to undo the [[Big Bang theory]] and become a God. Another episode, "To Another Shore", claims that "[[global warming]]" may be real.<br />
|-<br />
|''Kim Possible''<br />
|2002-2007<br />
|Disney Channel<br />
|<br />
|Although it was feminist due to the titular character Kim Possible tending to save the world and her sidekick Ron Stoppable generally being comic relief, it also was pro-family values, as it was notably one of the few Disney Channel shows where the fathers of the main characters (Kim and Ron) were not depicted as bumbling, buffoonish, childish, or as a jerk, and in many cases the fathers actually helped significantly to save the day. For instance, Kim Possible's dad James Possible is a friendly yet brilliant rocket scientist, and believes in family bonds, and often pushes his children to follow family values and also honor family. In addition, there were several episodes where Ron played a significant role in saving the world. It is also notable as being one of the few Disney Channel shows to actually break the 65-episode cutoff rule on the network.<br />

|Police and court drama similar to ''[[Perry Mason]]'' in which the first halves of each episodes were the crimes, investigations and arrests of suspects and the second halves were the trials and aftermaths thereof. Although ultimately promoting law enforcement in a positive light, the series eventually started pushing more liberal themes, usually by pushing twists that have the ones most likely considered guilty being in fact innocent, while white-collar characters are depicted as the villains, which former lead Michael Moriarity implied was due to the growing influence of one of the show's showrunners, Dick Wolf's hard-left politics.<ref>https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/michael-moriarty/2009/12/14/law-orders-persistent-leftward-lurch</ref> Is followed by a spinoff called ''Law & Order: SVU'' that was far more overtly liberal in its outlook (see its entry in [[Essay:Worst Liberal TV Shows]] for more details).<br />

He eschews violence until absolutely necessary. Although this element overall was conservative, the creator Vin Di Bona implied a few times that it was meant to promote an anti-gun agenda, which the anti-Communist site "Discover the Networks" uncovered: "MacGyver producer Vin Di Bona noted that anti-gun messages were a recurring theme in that program. When asked what he thought of conservative critics who claimed that Hollywood was overwhelmingly liberal, Di Bona responded: 'I think it’s probably accurate, and I’m happy about it.'"<ref>http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewSubCategory.asp?id=1477</ref> A reboot of this series, with Lucas Till in the title role, debuted on CBS in 2016.<br />

|A six-episode documentary series that, as implied by the title, covers the rise and reign of the Nazi Party in Germany. Although overall showing the horrors of the Nazi Party and its totalitarian aspects, as well as exposing elements of Hitler's character that weren't generally known (such as his having a very disordered personal life despite his emphasis on order) and also acknowledging the Communists and Soviets have committed atrocities, and even connected the Nazis to the French Revolution regarding inspirations, the documentary, or at least the first episode, repeats leftist propaganda made post-World War II of claiming the Nazis were a "far-Right" political party when in reality they belonged to the far-Left (and only being slightly to the right of German Communists/Red Front at most), and also implies in the third episode that Stalin and Hitler were ideological enemies when in reality they were closer to rivals regarding control over the Left. The final episode also implied that the Soviets' rapes of German women and various atrocities were the result of the Nazis' actions, when in reality the Soviets did them according to Communist ideology, and that the Nazis' invasion of Eastern Europe had played a comparatively minor role. In addition, although it alludes to a blood red moon as foreshadowing World War II when Hitler signed the pact with Stalin, it does not directly address the connection between it and visions given in Fatima, or indeed, any religious reasons behind the red moon in question.<br />

|2003-<br />
|CBS <br />
|TV-14 <br />
|Show about U.S. Navy investigators, voted ''America's favorite program in 2011''; starring Mark Harmon and David McCallum. While it is generally pro-America and pro-military, it does include some unneeded and un-Christian activity and language. For example, The season 6 episode "Capitol Offense" promotes environmentalism by having a Senator sponsoring a "Green energy" bill that's being opposed by "big oil" (a tired old liberal myth and claptrap). He confides in Gibbs to cover up an affair he had with a dead female naval officer to make sure the bill passes. The season 7 episode "Faith" has a Marine who converted to Islam being killed by his younger brother and a Muslim Chaplain being targeted with threats, clearly promoting the liberal "Islamophobia" claptrap. It also promotes the theme park version of Islam that most liberals think it is. Ziva even talks about "intolerance" which a true Israeli Jew and former Mossad officer wouldn't do. A real Mossad officer would certainly know firsthand how violent the religion of Islam is, especially if her own half-brother was a Muslim terrorist. In addition, the Marine's father is a Reverend who says things a truly devout Christian would never say such as "he found his god" when talking about his son and a line from Gibbs promotes the myth that Islam and Christianity have "the same god" which is typical "coexist" nonsense. <br />

One particular episode "History", also in the fourth season, has a condemnation of student radicals, many of whom were parroting statements by socialist organizations, with a professor being involved who had been formerly a member of the Gun Barrel Party, a Weathermen Underground-esque domestic terrorist group from the 1970s that was explicitly stated to be named after [[Mao Zedong]]'s statement about how "political power derives from the barrel of a gun" who used the faking of his death to undergo a new identity to try and teach generations to undergo his radical beliefs, and was largely depicted in an unsympathetic light, although it does falsely claim that the Occupy Wall Street crowd of not being terrorists despite it airing around the time of the Cleveland bridge bombing crisis that OWS was tied to.<br />

The later seasons cut out the more conservative messages to promote more liberal agendas, including having the various female characters starting with May (most of whom are ten years old and thus still children) essentially act as sexual fanservice according to then-director Masamitsu Hidaka (and, at least in the case of the female leads of AG, DP, and XY, their goals of acting as Pokémon Coordinator and Showcase Trainer seemed to promote [[fashion industry values]]), as well as later on the story's refusal to allow Ash to win a league despite it being necessary to have him become a Pokémon Master (with the most infamous example of this being the Ash vs. Alain fight in the final round of the Kalos League, which had Ash losing against Alain despite the series, including the actual Japanese episode title for the battle in question, all but strongly implying the exact opposite), and eventually by Sun and Moon delaying having Ash resume his goal until nearly 40 episodes later, thus resulting in a more nihilistic view of Ash's goal. In fact, not counting Orange Islands, Ash wasn't able to win a League Conference until two decades after the show's premiere. In addition, a running gag since Hoenn and to some extent Johto has Brock constantly chasing women and trying to ask them out, depicting him as a womanizer in a more comedic light. Moreover, the concept of friendships that was strongly emphasized in prior seasons eventually got phased out due to them essentially dropping characters after each season with barely a reference to them.<br />
<br />
However, the first few seasons showcased several conservative messages, including the strife to succeed even when the odds are considered insurmountable, as well as showing parental neglect and abandonment in a negative light in regards to the characters Brock and Misty, and to a certain extent one of the main villains Jessie. In addition, in the first season at least, there were also a few Christian references from Brock and Misty, and to some extent James. Pro-family values are present due to Misty becoming a mother to Togepi, and Brock also intending to aid his family when his parents weren't around due to the latter abandoning their children (or, in the case of the dub, the father abandoning them and the mother dying), only joining Ash after his father, Flint, returned and encouraged Brock to pursue his dreams. Was also anti-Hollywood Values as well, as the episode "Go West Young Meowth" showcases the more depraved nature of Hollywood, including at least one bickering couple, and does not treat it in a positive light, nor does Meowth's sweetheart, Meowzie, an epitome of Hollywood values, come across in a flattering light, with it also being heavily implied that this was the reason Meowth turned to villainy. Similarly, another episode during the first season dealt with a condemnation of fashion industry values as Team Rocket created a salon that heavily dolled up various Pokémon without taking into account their nature, which Suzie, Ash, and Brock condemned, and Misty initially supported to an extent only to pay the price later on when she tried to have Psyduck dolled up. One episode of DP also has an implicit condemnation of the homosexual agenda due to Brock calling Pikachu and Piplup (both of whom are confirmed male in an earlier episode) having an attraction to each other "unnatural." In addition, some episodes implicitly condemn the concept of Social Darwinism by showing various trainers who care only about Pokémon who are powerful and instantly abandon them if they show any sign of weakness in a very negative light. <br />

|1974-1978<br />
|NBC<br />
|<br />
|While some may say it was made to popularize the feminist movement, it still does treat law enforcement with respect. Also, the episode "Flowers of Evil" did seem to anger liberals as it had a trio of women (at least one of whom was implied to be a lesbian) who run a retirement home who rob and murder the elderly residents (an action that could never be shown on TV in the current age of political correctness).<br />

|Although it does mock conservative values, at the same time, it also openly mocks liberal values and exposes the hypocrisy apparent in those who adhere to liberalism.<br />

|''The PowerPuff Girls''<br />
|1998-2005, Reboot 2016-Present<br />
|Cartoon Network<br />
|TV-Y<br />
|On the one hand, the three titular superhero girls seem to be the only protagonists capable of fighting their city’s various supervillains, while the police, consisting mostly of men, are depicted as bumbling and oafish, making the girls feministic (It doesn’t help that one of the working names for the trio was the more profane ''Whoop*** Girls''). Moreover, innuendoes may be peppered throughout (and are more apparent in the 2016 reboot series, much to the chagrin of even the most devoted fans).<br />
<br />
On the other hand, as the girls were created by a scientist to be the “perfect little girls,” they could be more feminine rather than feminist. They try to fit into traditional gender roles despite their capabilities, Buttercup especially struggles with this, and they learn family values from the professor who made them and serves as a responsible, knowledgeable, benevolent father-figure and a voice of reason well-versed in various scientific disciplines. Plus, the recurring antagonist “Him” is an obvious reference to [[Satan]], which hints at support for Christianity; and the devilish fiend is an androgynous being who demonstrates some effeminate traits, which unsympathetically depicts and satirizes gender confusion and homosexual lifestyles, respectively. In addition, a villain of the week, "Femme Fatale", was meant to be a condemnation towards the feminist ideology. On occasion, such as in the episode ''Cop Out'', does show the girls working ''with'' police, in this episode's case, against corrupt officer Mike Brokowski, who blames them for his lazy habits that get him fired, actively trying to ''kill'' them. (fortunately for them, they are immune to acid).<br />

|While much in the show is vulgar and irreverent, Rick is strongly independent and loathes the interdimensional government.<br />
|-<br />
|''Sailor Moon''<br />
|1992-1997 (Japan)<br />
|Fuji TV<br />
|NR<br />
|The series is (in)famous for its promotion of homosexuality with Kunzite/Zoicite and Uranus/Neptune (the former being changed to a heterosexual couple during the initial English localisation (Zoicite was changed to female due to having a slightly more feminine appearance) the latter relationship being altered during localization to them being "cousins", which despite the dubbing company omitting the kissing element, ends up implying that they were committing incest in the dub) and transgenderism with the Sailor Starlights. (it should be noted in the original manga, Kunzite and Zoicite were not romantically involved at all, having a more brotherly relationship, the original plan being that the four Shitennou to be romantically involved with the Inner Senshi, and the Sailor Starlights were simply female who disguised themselves as men as part of a plan to save their princess, the latter of which irritated creator Naoko Takeuchi slightly). On the other hand, it is also pro-family, as Usagi Tsukino (Sailor Moon) has very loving and caring parents whom she loves very much, though they do understandably scold about her grades. Rei Hino (Sailor Mars) is also very close to her grandfather, often taking care of him due to his advanced age. Ami Mizuno (Sailor Mercury) admires her doctor mother and wishes to follow in her mother’s footsteps and is also very hurt by her parents being divorced and the fact she only hears from her artist father once a year. Also, when Usagi and Mamoru Chiba’s (Tuxedo Mask) future daughter Chibi-Usa is introduced, she is shown to be very close to her parents and present-day Usagi and Mamoru take care of her like a little sister.<br />
<br />
The series also contains themes of unconditional love, friendship, mercy, and redemption. Usagi and Rei tend to bicker and get into cranky arguments, but they still really care about each other. The recurring Dark Kingdom Villain Nephrite disguises himself as a human named "Masato Sanjouin" and one of Usagi's friends, Naru, falls in love with him. Naru still loves him even after learning who he really is and eventually, he falls in love with her. Nephrite ultimately sacrifices his life by intercepting an attack that was meant for Naru. In the second season (Sailor Moon R) both sets of villains (The Makai Tree Aliens and the Black Moon Clan) have very distorted understandings of what love is. The Sailor Senshi teach them what real love is. With the Makai Tree Aliens, it’s that love is given, not taken. With the Black Moon Clan they show the Four Specter Sisters that love is unconditional after each of them feels the rejection of their superiors and loses hope. Eventually, all four sisters become good after Sailor Moon uses her crystal to purify them of their dark energy. In the Starlights season, the villainess of the previous arc, Queen Nehellenia, is redeemed by being shown unconditional love. Sailor Moon also helps redeem the arc's main villain Sailor Galaxia by helping to purge the influence of Chaos and returning her to the good person she used to be.<br />
<br />
There is a condemnation of the idea that positive ends justify negative means. In the S season, Sailors Uranus and Neptune believe it is necessary to sacrifice human lives to bring out the talismans from "pure heart" crystals. They also believe that it is necessary to kill Hotaru Tomoe to stop her Sailor form, Sailor Saturn, from destroying the world. Sailor Moon refuses to accept either premise no matter what, and in the end she is vindicated. The talismans were inside the outer Senshi all along and they didn't need to sacrifice their lives to bring them. Sailor Moon also succeeded in saving the world without killing Hotaru. In the Starlights season, everyone except Sailor Moon believes that it is necessary to kill Galaxia and Moon is the only one who has any faith that Galaxia can be restored to her old self.<br />
<br />
The series also goes against the messages of modern feminism in that it promotes traditional femininity and traditional female interests. Even the most Tomboyish Senshi, Makoto Kino (Sailor Jupiter) is shown to have feminine interests such as cooking, gardening and figure skating, admitting to Usagi she took up her hobbies to get by since her parents died when she was young and so she wouldn't be as intimidating, due to being the tallest girl in her class as well as rumors she got kicked out of her old school for fighting (these rumors weren't true, she simply moved to a new town). Usagi also desires to get married and have a family with her boyfriend Mamoru which they do in the future as evidenced by their daughter, Chibi-Usa. Although Mamoru is 4 years older than Usagi, he is a gentleman and doesn’t take advantage of her youth and inexperience. As Tuxedo Mask, he is very protective of Sailor Moon, and she is very appreciative of his protection (in contrast to a feminist who would refuse male help).<br />

|CBS; ABC<br />

|Although it does teach kids conjugated thinking skills, most of the villains are businessmen which some could argue is an anti-capitalism statement. In addition, the theme song was meant to subtly promote a pro-drug message.<br />

|''Scorpion''<br />
|2013-2017<br />
|CBS<br />
|<br />
|A show involving four geniuses who try to use their gifts to prevent global catastrophes as well as figure out how to live among normal society in their spare time that's loosely based on the life of Walter O'Brien. It promotes the concept of using one's innate skills for good, as well as improving oneself, with one episode in the series also mocking professor values as well as the current university system. The first season also has some negative views on government encroachment due to Walter being reluctant to allow Scorpion to be used by Homeland due to them using stuff against his intention. Also has some pro-family values, due to Paige, one of the members of Scorpion, trying to be a good mother for her genius son, and Walter doing whatever he can to save his terminally-ill sister during the first couple of seasons, as well as Sylvester, another member of Scorpion, proceeding to legally marry (albeit in a civil rather than religious manner) his sister to stop Walter from unnecessarily keeping her alive against his sister's wishes, and Toby and Happy also making every effort to welcome their baby into the world due to believing the latter to be pregnant. In addition, one recent episode has Scorpion pitching in to aid in allowing Toby, upon it being discovered that he has a rare genetic defect that prevents him from having viable sperm to allow him and Happy to have a baby, to undergo treatment to allow them to have a child, specifically stating that they wished to ensure future members of Scorpion were born, which likewise hinted at a pro-life message and supporting the unborn. In addition, some of the main villains have also been Communists and various terrorist groups. On the other hand, it also has at times engaged in some more liberal themes such as environmentalism as well as some denouncement of Capitalism in later seasons.<br />

|FOX<br />
|TV-14<br />
|Many businessmen are made out to be dumb, Republicans have at times been depicted as evil, and family values aren't necessarily put in the best light. However, it still mocks liberal values as well as political correctness (including even showing the Democrats, via Springfield mayor and [[JFK]] wannabe Joe Quimby, as the corrupt and incompetent politicians they really are, although that being said, the character Lisa Simpson has occasionally been used as a soundboard for the more liberal views of the show), and although Bart Simpson causes a lot of trouble, he is painted out to be a "punk" rather than a "cool dude". This show is also known for being not as bad as the wretched ''Family Guy''. The show was originally a series of short skits on ''The Tracey Ullman Show''.<br />

|1997; 1999-2007<br />
|HBO<br />
|<br />
|Although the TV series glamorizes to some extent the Italian [[mafia]] and its exploits, it also is pro-family values ultimately due to the main protagonist Tony Soprano trying to do what is best for his family, and one episode, "Christopher", has a condemnation of Howard Zinn's ''A People's History of the United States'', in particular the book and the public school system's demonization of [[Christopher Columbus]].<br />
|-<br />
|''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]''<br />
|1999-present<br />
|Nickelodeon<br />
|TV-Y / TV-Y7<br />
|One of the most influential cartoons of the 21st century, centered on an energetic, anthropomorphic sea sponge (who more nearly resembles a kitchen sponge) and a diverse cast of his underwater friends, is decidedly one of the most politically ambiguous. <br />
On the one hand, the series suggests that capitalists are inherently malign or simply obsessed with money, as the main character’s crustacean employer, the fast food restaurateur Mr. Krabs, is inclined to put money before others’ interests, sometimes at the expense of others’ well-being. In addition, SpongeBob and his dimwitted seastar best friend Patrick Star have a habit of annoying Squidward Tentacles, a grouchy octopus who lives between them, and tend to not face comeuppance for their childish actions (though there are exceptions), which may teach that being annoying is “acceptable” adult behavior. Specific episodes have controversial overtones, too. For instance, “Rock-a-Bye Bivalve” is infamous for depicting SpongeBob and his dimwitted seastar best friend Patrick Star raising a baby scallop like a homosexual couple. Moreover, one of the series’ worst-received episodes, “One Coarse Meal,” tries to make bullying look humorous because it centers on Mr. Krabs driving his microscopic arch business rival Plankton to suicide by appealing to the copepod’s secret fear of whales, a fear not present in any other episode. Worst of all, there is a theory that each of the seven main characters is modeled after one of the Seven Deadly Sins: <br />
Mr. Krabs is avarice for his love of money.<br />
Plankton is envy because he desires after that which Mr. Krabs has: a successful restaurant and the secret formula for Krabs’ signature sandwich, the Krabby Patty.<br />
Squidward is wrath due to his irritability.<br />
Sandy Cheeks the diving suit-clad squirrel is pride as she is immensely proud of her native Texas.<br />
Patrick is sloth since he is often seen dormant.<br />
Gary, SpongeBob’s pet sea snail, is gluttony because his character has little to do other than eat.<br />
SpongeBob is a strange variant on lust: though the character is said to be asexual, he seems to have “lust for life” because, depending on the writer(s), he can be too fixated on his job (or even on Squidward) at times.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, most episodes where SpongeBob works in his regular job as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab restaurant teach young audiences to take pride in hard work and persistence as SpongeBob strives to make the most out of his rather ordinary vocation. Most episodes where Plankton appears draw a clear distinction between good and evil, showing the errors of stealing and conducting business through illegitimate means as Plankton’s schemes to outcompete Mr. Krabs, the more competent businessman, or steal his Krabby Patty recipe backfire. Lastly, depending on the writer(s), Krabs can serve as a surrogate father-figure to SpongeBob, teaching him to stay out of danger and not to act so impulsively as he usually does. In addition, one episode advocates against gun control and showing the fallacy against the premise,<ref>http://rightwingnews.com/meme/spongebob-destroys-liberal-thoughts-big-government-gun-control-meme/</ref> and another episode promotes self-sufficiency and mocks the welfare state.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2013/11/04/spongebob-mocks-welfare-state/</ref><br />

|''Squirrel and Hedgehog''<br />
|1977 (North Korea)<br />
|YouTube (Outside North Korea)<br />
|NR<br />
|The cartoon was created by the North Koreans as unsubtle propaganda for their Communist ideology, and in particular promoting the Kim Dynasty, and also showcases a significant amount of bloodshed by the heroes. That being said, however, its style in trying to propagate Communist values also unintentionally ends up promoting American and Western values due to the main villains, several wolves and other carnivorous creatures, being depicted as extremely competent and imposing and wielding high-tech weaponry, as well as the "heroes", despite being shown as herbivorous animals, being shown as particularly violent, as well as being more effeminate and crying a lot of the time thus unintentionally exposing the real horrors of Communist ideology as well, with several of the viewers when it aired outside North Korea nearly forty years afterwards liking the villains more than the heroes and specifically citing how the villains were depicted as extremely competent as a reason.<br />
|-<br />
|''Stargate: SG-1''<br />
|1997-2007<br />
|Sci-fi<br />
|<br />
|A sequel series to the film ''Stargate'', most of its main villains were extraterrestrials who posed as various pagan gods (namely Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Babylonian), and Colonel O'Neill was implied to be religious a few times. It is also to be noted that the Christian God is noted to be exempted from the main villains. That being said, however, it does occasionally mix up the Middle Ages with the Dark Ages, and in later seasons it does make a few jabs at then-President George W. Bush.<br />
|-<br />
|''[[Supergirl (TV series)|Supergirl]]'' (first season only)<br />
|2015–2016<br />
|CBS (first season)<br />
|<br />
|The show had some liberal elements, such as promoting the feminist agenda to some extent, and also having a degree of forced multiculturalism (e.g., turning Jimmy Olsen into a black man when he was originally a red-headed Caucasian in the comics). However, it also has some conservative elements to the show, namely pro-family messages, as well as the character Cat Grant in one episode expressing some regret for the fact that, when she got pregnant out of wedlock, she chose her career over her child (it should be noted that this would have been against the feminist agenda, since adherents to feminism generally reject any indication that a woman can't be satisfied by anything besides a career, especially being satisfied with having children and/or holding any remorse for giving up their child in favor of their careers.). The same episode also had her trying to reconnect with her child, who by that time was an adult, with Kara Danvers suggesting she reconnect with him, giving the implication that she ultimately carried him to birth despite choosing her career over her child, acting as a subtle condemnation towards abortion and a promotion of the right to life. In addition, environmentalism is depicted in a more negative manner due to the main villains, surviving Kryptonian prisoners at Fort Rozz, being sentenced there due to engaging in environmental terrorism in an attempt to save Krypton, and Kara Zor-El's uncle, Non, being an unrepentant mass murderer. <br />
<br />
It also has a condemnation of terrorism as well as crime, as most of the first season's story arc dealt with locating and stopping various Fort Rozz escapees from causing any carnage on Earth, with most of the criminals being portrayed negatively, and even the sole Fort Rozz villain who does end up being portrayed sympathetically is made clear to have given up crime, subtly promoting the concept of redemption. The DEO also acts as a subtle allegory to ICE agents and border patrol and is portrayed as largely a force of good, which also hints at a promotion of national borders. The two-part season finale also dealt with the main villains' plan, Myriad, which involved mass mind-control which likewise had those affected by it making statements that eerily paralleled the statements made by liberal ideology.<ref>https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/culture/karen-townsend/2016/04/12/supergirl-shows-liberal-fantasy-where-mind-control-answer</ref> Note that this only applies with the first season of ''Supergirl'', as starting with the second season upon its move to the CW, it went hard-Left in its political and social views (see main entry on the series for more information).<br />
|-<br />
|SWAT Kats<br />
|1993-1994<br />
|TBS<br />
|<br />
|Chance Furlong and Jake Clawson are two former Enforcer (the show's name for the police) pilots who are wrongfully blamed for destroying Enforcer Headquarters when their boss, Commander Feral wants the glory of taking down the villain Dark Kat by himself and causes their plane to crash. As punishment, they are sentenced to work in a salvage yard to pay back the cost of the building. Using the military salvage in the junk yard, the build their own jet called the Turbokat and become the crime-fighting SWAT Kats, T-bone and Razor. The series de-values law enforcement by depicting the Enforcers as impotent against the city's many threats. The Enforcers' leader, Commander Ulysses Feral, is depicted as an egotistical glory-hog and hates the SWAT Kats for being able to accomplish what he can't. Sometimes the SWAT Kats even like to rudely rub it in his face. The series also promotes feminism by depicting Megakat City's male Mayor Manx as bumbling and incompetent while depicting the female Deputy Mayor Calico "Callie" Briggs as the one who truly runs the city (and also the SWAT Kats main ally, similar to Commissioner Gordon from Batman). The series also added a token female Enforcer, Commander Feral's niece Felina Feral in the second season, and depicting her as being more competent and reasonable than the other Enforcers.<br />
<br />
That being said, however, the series also promotes themes of justice, heroism, and voluntary charity (since the SWAT Kats don't get paid for their heroism) and condemns crime. In the second season, Commander Feral's negative aspects were toned down and the character was depicted positively more often. The series is also pro-family as it shows Commander Feral having genuine love for Felina as well as concern for her safety. Felina also respects her uncle, even though she doesn't always agree with him. In contrast to other elements which promote feminism, the episode "Cry Turmoil" paints feminism in a more negative light with the villainess Turmoil and her all-female soldiers and pilots, of whom she believes no male pilot can out-fly until they engage the SWAT Kats. After capturing the Turbokat, she attempts to seduce T-Bone into joining her and becoming her second-in-command, which he only pretends to go along with it so that he can sabotage her ship and give Razor time to meet up with him. The episode also contains a theme of resisting evil temptation since T-bone admits being attracted to her in his inner monologue, and even remarks that "the Enforcers haven't exactly been our biggest fans."<br />
|-<br />
|''The Twilight Zone'' <br />
|1959-1964 (original run)<br />
|CBS <br />
|<br />
|A recurring theme is that the selfish and the self-centered eventually lose what they sought to gain; hosted by Rod Serling. Examples of [[conservative]] episodes include: <br />
*"The Prime Mover" (episode 57, March 24, 1961)<ref>http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/features/exploring-the-twilight-zone-57-the-prime-mover.php</ref> <br />
*"The Obsolete Man" (episode 65, June 2, 1961) Sentenced to death by a totalitarian government that outlawed both books and religion, Burgess Meredith's character turns to his faith and his bible to console him<br />
*"The Mirror" (episode 71, October 20, 1961), a scathing criticism of Communism and the [[Fidel Castro]] regime in Cuba; starred a pre-''Columbo'' Peter Falk as Ramos Clemente, a Latin American Communist revolutionary-turned-dictator based on Castro. <br />
<br />
That being said, there are some examples of episodes that have some liberal and conservative messages being promoted at the same time: <br />
*"He's Alive" (episode 106, January 24, 1963), it depicts the Neo-Nazi movement and Hitler in a very negative light. Although that being said, it also falsely implies that Hitler is the most evil person to have ever existed in the world, being comparable to Satan, when in reality, there were people far more evil and brutal than Hitler such as [[Mao Zedong]] and [[Josef Stalin]], and various Communist dictators.<br />
|-<br />
|''You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown''<br />
|1972<br />
|CBS<br />
|<br />
|An animated ''Peanuts'' special that aired before the 1972 presidential elections. On the one hand, it does show the electoral process in a fairly positive manner, but on the other hand, it does feature some elements of liberal values such as forcing people to vote for a particular candidate (specifically, one scene had Lucy threatening people to vote for Linus), and was largely cynical in its outlook.<br />

|This spinoff of the Jack Webb-produced series ''Dragnet'', also based on actual cases and more than one per episode, now focuses on LAPD street patrol officers Peter Malloy and James (Jim) Reed while demonstrating the same moral examples as ''Dragnet''. It was remade into a limited (Los Angeles and New York City) syndication show in 1989-1991 with unknown main players, new characters, and situations. None of the original series' three main players (Martin Milner, Kent McCord, William Boyett) ever fell victim to Hollywood Values: Milner and McCord stayed married to their same wives with whom were the only mothers of all their children between them. And despite Boyett's first marriage (1947-1950) to Willagene Wither ending in divorce, Boyett's second marriage in 1957 to Joan Amelia Reynolds lasted until his death in 2004, age 77, with nine children between them: Milner (who died in 2015 at age 83) had four, McCord had three, and Boyett (who died in 2004 at age 77) had two (with Joan) and became a grandfather twice over. The 1969 Season 2 episode, "Baby", is said to have been based on Kent McCord's own real life wife's birth of one of their own children that year.<br />

|TV-G<br />
|Regarded as one of the last of the classic TV sitcoms before the [[Norman Lear]] era started, The Brady Bunch taught many life lessons about growing up such as building [[self-confidence]], working, and telling the truth. It also promoted heavy family values where even if there’s disagreements, the family always sticks together, and is happy. In one of the early episodes, it had Christmas special where Carol sings ‘O Come All Ye Faithful’ at a Church service making it one of the few [[List of Christmas specials that reference the birth of Jesus Christ|Christmas specials that references the birth of Jesus Christ]]. However, its messaging proved to be too late, as it’s ratings never broke the Nielsen top 30, while ''[[All in the Family]]'' reached number 1 in five of its nine seasons. The show’s cult following got it a poorly received variety show with the whole cast (except Eve Plumb as Jan), a miniseries featuring Marcia and Jan getting married, and a acclaimed made-for-TV Christmas movie in 1988. Following it was a 1990 continuation with a darker tone, and two theatrical movies in 1995 and 1996 respectively. Many reunions occurred in the 21st century, including an infamous one where the Brady girls are replaced with drag queens.<br />

A pro-Trump series through and through, but ''the show itself'' graduates from more liberal to more movement conservative. Tackles issues such as Confederate monuments, Islamic terrorism, interventionism, diplomacy, and even the bully tactics of both Democrats and Republicans. The show portrays several situations in which President Trump has been, and shows the protagonist doing exactly what President Trump has done in each one. When confronted with both Democrats and Republicans, the President decides to kowtow to neither one; in negotiations with North Korea, he uses both the carrot and the stick. The protagonist's opponents even attempt to invoke the 25th Amendment to impeach him! In addition, after the President's character is shot, he is depicted waving to the audience on the balcony of his hospital bedroom in a similar manner to Ronald Reagan after his attempted assassination.<br />

|Sgt. Joe Friday (Jack Webb) and his partners (Ben Romero, Ed Jacobs, and Frank Smith in the 1951 original, Bill Gannon in the 1967 revival) solving actual cases from the files of the Los Angeles Police Department (with people's names altered to protect the innocent involved in the cases inspiring each episode). The officers educate viewers in law enforcement jargon and the Rule of Law, all the while showing fine examples of moral conduct, honor of oneself and others, and sacrifice for the good of the public. The 1967 revival also included more contemporary themes, such as increased drug use in society due to the rise of the counterculture, along with hippies, leftist and racist revolutionaries and other products of the counterculture openly displaying their contempt for the law and those who enforce it, although such characters invariably pay the price by the end of each episode for their bad choices. A second revival of ''Dragnet'' was planned by Webb in 1982, with him reprising his Joe Friday role again and with ''Adam-12'' star Kent McCord cast as Friday's new partner (possibly reprising his Jim Reed role from ''Adam-12''), but the revival was shelved following Webb's death from a heart attack on December 23, 1982. In 1989, it was remade for syndication and was shown only in limited markets like Los Angeles and New York as ''The New Dragnet'' through 1991.<br />

|This reality series portrays the lives of the Robertson family, who famously turned duck calls into the magnificent business empire Duck Commander, stand by their strong Christian beliefs, and are active hunters. Liberals despise this series so much that they conducted two ploys to damage this wholesome show's reputation. First, in the series' early days, the liberal parent network A&E censored any use of the word "Jesus" in the prayers that close most episodes. Second, in December 2013, the staunchly liberal magazine Gentleman's Quarterly (GQ) infamously tricked patriarch Phil Robertson, who founded the family business, into being open about his conservative, anti-homosexual values, which led to Phil (who is not uneducated, as he holds a master's degree in education) being suspended from appearing in further episodes for nine days. The magazine also accused Phil of being racist simply because he said he never saw the mistreatment of any African American person in his younger days during the Civil Rights era. Poor Phil wasn't saying that he wasn't unaware of the prevalent race issues in the 1960s but that he grew up in an area where people lived and worked in harmony regardless of skin color, so he witnessed no acts of racism ''in person''.<br />

|This wholesome family-centered sitcom follows the suburban Stevens family in Sacramento, California, with an emphasis on the dynamic between polar opposite siblings Ren and Louis, the latter of whom, despite his slacking and prank-loving tendencies, has his heart in the right place more often than his family realizes. While its main audience is intended to be children, it had a way of appealing to the whole family. Plus, it was the first live-action show of the Disney Channel of the 2000s, considered to be its best decade to date. In contrast to other contemporary sitcoms, patriarch Steve is fairly competent and mature as well as a voice of reason, although he does at times become very high tense and possess a short temper (which is usually justified due to Louis's antics). Unfortunately, this decade was followed by Disney Channel shows that are less classy, more obscene, politically correct and produced in formulaic, cookie-cutter fashion.<br />

As with many other police shows made during this period, many episodes from the early seasons of the series (from its 1968 debut to about 1973-74) showed the contemptuous and disrespectful behavior and attitudes displayed by the then-current young generation toward the police and traditional values due to the influence of the counterculture, along with the consequences paid by those of the counterculture who choose to flout the law and societal norms.

|''The Invaders''<br />
|1967–1968<br />
|ABC<br />
|TV-PG<br />
|In this Quinn Martin-produced science fiction series, architect David Vincent (played by Roy Thinnes) discovers a flying saucer landing outside an abandoned diner one night and attempts, often in vain, to warn the public about the alien invaders (who almost perfectly resemble human beings, save for a few distinguishing quirks - most notably a crooked pinky finger on each hand that the aliens are unable to bend) and their plans to infiltrate Earth society, take the planet over and annihilate its human population.<br />
<br />
The show's sci-fi format and alien invasion premise thinly veiled its political theme, particularly real-life concerns about the Communist invasion and infiltration of American society taking place during the [[Cold War]] (with the aliens serving as a analog of Communist spies and sleeper agents), demonstrated in the aliens' methods, very similar to the Communists' own ''modus operandi''; the use of lies, deceit and [[disinformation]] to fool officials and other members of the public, as well as [[discrediting attack|discrediting]], [[brainwashing]], [[mind control]] and violence to deal with anyone who has found out about the aliens' existence to keep them from stopping the aliens from executing their diabolical plans. A two-part sequel miniseries, with Thinnes reprising his role as a now-older David Vincent and also starring Scott Bakula as Nolan Wood (who takes up Vincent's mantle of warning mankind about the alien invasion of Earth), aired on Fox in 1995.<br />

|2015-2018<br />
|Fox<br />
|PG<br />
|Despite being created by liberal ''Saturday Night Live'' alumnus Will Forte, as well as its outbursts of bathroom humor, this post-apocalyptic sitcom seems to show conservative, pro-family and pro-friendship values consistently winning in the end. Forte portrays the initially unsympathetic title character, the loser everyman Phil Miller, who believes he is the only human survivor after a deadly virus killed most of the world's human and animal population about a year earlier. He scours North America for other signs of life and, upon failing to find anyone else, returns to his hometown of Tucson, Arizona, where he engages in all sorts of hedonism and nihilism until he nearly attempts suicide. Right before crashing his truck into a boulder, he discovers surviving woman Carol Pilbasian, who believes in traditional marriage and encourages Phil to become a more moral and honest person. <br />
<br />
As the series progresses, they are joined by more survivors, who are all consistently annoyed by Phil's selfish, nihilistic attitude and personality, thus inspiring Phil to give up his wasteful, adulterous, sinful habits and grow into a better man than he was before the outbreak of the virus. Each time Phil tries to deviate from traditional family values, as when he develops an interest in one of the other female survivors and either tries to woo her or prove himself more desirable than other men in the group, his schemes backfire, and his actions are punished. Thus, the series teaches that it is more admirable to be part of a traditional family than to have casual sexual relationships with multiple women. Lastly, the show may promote Christianity because being an apocalypse survivor has given Phil either new or renewed faith in God, who answers each of his prayers in one form or another.<br />

|This refreshing sitcom stars Tim Allen as Mike Baxter, a marketing director for a sporting goods store chain called Outdoor Man, who strives to keep his manhood (fishing, hunting, sports and camping), and promotes conservative values (including supporting the military), in opposition to his antagonistic liberal daughter Kristin (the oldest of three daughters Mike has with his wife Vanessa) and her equally-liberal husband Ryan, who often clashes with both Mike and Vanessa over political, cultural and philosophical issues. Unlike the similar and more vehement clashes between Archie Bunker and Mike Stivic in ''[[All in the Family]]'' where the latter comes out on top due to Archie's ignorance and lack of ability to make cohesive arguments, the often clueless, dimwitted and hypocritical Ryan loses arguments with the more well-versed and level-headed Mike. Meanwhile, Mike gets along very well with his youngest daughter Eve due to their similar political views and interests, as he does with Boyd, Kristin and Ryan's son and Mike's grandson (as expected, Kristin and Ryan are not impressed that Boyd has more in common with his grandfather than with them). <br />

|TV-G<br />
|This very pro-family, clean cut, clean living sitcom follows a traditional nuclear family, the Cleavers, from the perspective of the younger of the two sons. Unfortunately, their real lives off screen were hardly Cleaver-esque, as all of its main stars except Ken Osmond, who played Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver's archenemy Eddie Haskell, went through several divorces and remarriages between them while Osmond never became addicted, broke (bankrupt) or a criminal after the original show ended, unlike so many other former child stars. Osmond is still married to his only wife, Sandra Lee Purdy, since 1969, with whom he had two children, born 1971 and 1974 and after the original show ended, did something very opposite his "bad boy" Eddie Haskell persona: he became a police officer (Los Angeles Police Department) in 1970, retiring on medical disability in 1988 while repeating his original role in the 1980s cable-TV remakes of the original series; remakes that ran from 1984-1989 with a CBS pilot (first episode) in 1983 as a 20 year "reunion" TV movie titled ''Still the Beaver'', which became its own [[Disney Channel]] series from 1984-1985. In 1986, it became ''The New Leave it to Beaver'' on TBS until ending in 1989. Both the 1983 pilot and its following serieses had 'Beaver', 'Wally' and 'Eddie' as 1980s middle aged adults in a world of more depressing, serious and longer lasting 1980s problems.<br />

Adams's best friend is a [[grizzly bear]] named Ben, whom he had rescued when he was an orphaned cub and had since been his closest companion, and this helps Adams befriend other wild animals and promise to protect them.

|2005-2006<br />
|History Channel<br />
|<br />
|A series which used actual footage along with re-enactments depicting famous military battles, law enforcement shootouts, and shootouts in the Old West. Many episodes were centered on then-recent battles in Iraq and Afghanistan which show the US military in a positive light, as well as painting a radically different picture compared to how the Mainstream Media depicts the military. There is also an episode about the Tet Offensive which tells the truth about that battle and the narrator admits that the Mainstream Media lied about it. The Wild West episode tells the story of how armed citizens exercising their Second Amendment rights drove the infamous James-Younger Gang out of Northfield, Minnesota during a failed bank robbery attempt in 1876.<br />

|''S.W.A.T.''<br />
|2017-Present<br />
|CBS<br />
|<br />
|A reboot of the 1970s series. In addition to the overall story showing respecting the men in uniform and the police, the pilot episode had a condemnation of affirmative action as well as the main antagonists being a bunch of implied left-wing anarchists who were trying to deliberately fan racial hatred on both sides to introduce anarchy. In addition, the fourth episode, "Radical", has a condemnation of both Socialists/Communists and Professor Values, as the main threat in the episode was an expelled student radical who was going to blow up several businesses while repeating various rhetoric from left-wing socialist organizations like Occupy Wall Street, and the one who was responsible for the kid's actions was a professor in a political science course at the local college who orchestrated various socialist protests on the campus and was never fired despite his being the ringleader due to his having tenure (which was explicitly stated to have him completely immune from being removed from the school regardless of what actions his students took in his name unless he directly incited the students to commit murder), with their being depicted in a very negative light as a result. The second season's main antagonist was also an implied communist, and while it does show Chris adhering more to her bisexuality and also entering a polygamous relationship, the show nonetheless implies that it's ultimately a negative rather than a positive.<br />

|An anthology showcase series for the works of famed businessman and animator [[Walt Disney]], as well as being directly hosted by the man himself, it was the first of its kind and arguably the most successful version of its kind. It is also the second-longest running primetime show, behind the ''Hallmark Hall of Fame''. It showed various Disney films and even showed some new stuff from the then-recently released Disneyland, including episodes like The Liberty Story, an anthology episode composed of the live action and animated Greatest Conservative Movies ''Johnny Tremain'' and ''Ben and Me'', both of which dealt with the founding of the country. Even when liberal Michael Eisner took over Disney, he largely kept the conservative elements of the show intact. It was ultimately cancelled on December 24, 2008 due largely to Disney having expanded its influence to other channels outside ABC, including the Disney Channel. Coincidentally, it both began and ended on a Wednesday. <br />

Scrooge also shows a strong paternal instinct for his great nephews and Webby. His house servants, butler/chauffeur Duckworth and cook/nanny Betina Beakley are treated as part of the family to the point where they stand by him even when he temporarily loses his fortune in "Down And Out In Duckburg."

Although Grandpapi (Manny Rivera's grandpa) is a "villain", he's more of a comic relief character rather than a thoroughly evil character; on top of that, he is still regarded as part of the family.<br />

|''G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero''<br />
|1983-1989<br />
|First-run syndication<br />
|TV-G<br />
|Based on the G.I. Joe toy line, this series stands tall as one of the most conservative, pro-military, and pro-American cartoons ever made. The opening narration for the show by voice actor Jackson Beck explains the series premise: "G.I. Joe is the code name for America's daring, highly-trained special mission force. Its purpose, to defend human freedom against COBRA, the ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world." The show carries themes of patriotism, friendship, and teamwork. The show's depiction of Cobra shows terrorism in a negative light, with Cobra using common terrorist tactics, such as violence and extortion. <br />
<br />
The episode "Twenty Questions" paints the mainstream media in a negative light, with the media accusing the G.I. Joes of being a waste of taxpayer money, along with a conspiracy theorist claiming that Cobra is "fake" and their battles are "staged" (like the claims that 9/11 was an inside job to start the War on Terror). <br />
<br />
The episode "Cobra's Candidate" has an anti-crime, pro-family message. The Joes attempt to encourage a gang leader, Selar, to stop her acts of violence. She is later encouraged to give up her life of crime when other gang members insult her younger brother and he becomes trapped in a burning building when Cobra sets off a bomb. The other gang members turn against Cobra when they witness this act of cruelty.<br />
<br />
The two-part episode "Worlds Without End" has several of the Joes being transported to an alternate universe where Cobra has conquered the world, and they run it in a Communistic fashion where there are things like long food lines.<br />
<br />
The show also condemns the [[Social justice warrior]] mentality. The episode "Let's Play Soldier" has a scene in which Gung-ho apprehends a Southeast Asian pirate who says "Please let me go, I am an only innocent pawn of a Capitalist machine!" to which Gung-ho replies "This guy must've studied Political Science at UCLA." The main focus of the episode is on a group of half-white, half-Asian children who are referred as "dust children" by the locals, which makes the episode one of the few depictions of [[racism]] by non-white people in any media. <br />
<br />
The character Lifeline is a Christian. The episode "Second Hand Emotions" reveals that he comes from a devout Christian family but has a broken relationship with his preacher father over his choice to join the military since they are pacifists, even though he himself will not touch a weapon or do anything violent. He later reconciles with his father and the father admits that he loves his son. The episode ends with the wedding of Lifeline's sister and Lifeline's father (who is officiating the wedding) quotes Mark 10:9 "That which God has joined, let no man put asunder." Although it is a common quote in many real life weddings, this is one of the few fictional weddings to directly and explicitly acknowledge God.<br />

|This cartoon, based on Mattel's "Masters of the Universe" toyline, is pro-heroism and pro-family. The protagonist has been derided by modern feminists as an example of "toxic masculinity" but is actually very friendly and easygoing and is only violent when necessary. The series emphasizes the familial relationship between Prince Adam/He-Man and his parents King Randor and Queen Marlena, between Teela and her adoptive father Man-At-Arms (Duncan), and between Orko and his Uncle Montork. The episode "Trouble in Arcadia" contains an anti-feminist message. The land of Arcadia is ruled by women and the men are enslaved because Queen Sumana believes women to be superior and men are only good for manual labor. He-Man changes her mind when he saves the mines under the city from collapsing and Sumana agrees to encourage cooperation between the sexes.<br />

Key figures from the era make recurring and guest appearances as well, most often [[Benjamin Franklin]] and [[George Washington]].

|''The Lion Guard''<br />
|2015-2019<br />
|Disney Junior<br />
|TV-Y<br />
|A sequel TV series based on conservative animated Disney movie, ''[[The Lion King]]''. ''The Lion Guard'' tells of the adventures of Simba and Nala's son Kion as he carries out his duty as leader of the Lion Guard, tasked to protect the Pride lands and preserve the Circle of Life. The series is pro-family, as shown with most of the Lion Guard. Kion's parents - King Simba and Queen Nala, protagonists from the film - are responsible rulers and help Kion out sometimes (one episode has Nala giving Kion and his sister Kiara a challenge to prove their bond as siblings), Timon and Pumbaa adopt Bunga the honey badger as their nephew and treat him well, and Beshte the hippo looks up to his father and is shown to be as smart and friendly as he. The Guard even considers Fuli the cheetah as part of their family as well even when she's a solitary animal. Poaching is shown in a negative light, with animals like pre-reformed Janja the hyena and the jackals actively disregarding the Circle of Life so that they can hunt everything in sight. Redemption is also portrayed well, with animals like the aforementioned Janja and the crocodile Makuu reforming from their villainous ways to cooperate with their fellow animals.<br />

Each day, the brothers build a different contraption, ranging from roller coasters to time machines to robotic platypus posteriors. All the while, their older sister, Candace Flynn, attempts to "bust" the boys by revealing to their mom her brothers' inventions, only for them to be daily wiped away before her mother sees. The show also includes the family's pet, Perry, who as secret-agent platypus fights against the evil schemes of Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz. Despite being about a non-biologically related family, though it never states if the parents were divorced or widowed, the show promotes family values and encourages friendship, as well as the golden rule. The show has humor for the young age group intended, but is just as easily amusing to adults and teenagers, including clean social satire.<br />

|These instructional cartoon shorts, ironic and humorous in tone, were produced between 1943 and 1945 during World War II. They instruct service personnel about security, proper sanitation habits, booby traps, and other military subjects, ultimately improving troop morale. On some occasions the cartoons depicted Private Snafu's death as a result of failure to follow proper instructions. One of the cartoons, ''[[Spies]]'', was later used as an exhibit at the CIA-made [[International Spy Museum]]. (The term "snafu" is an acrostic which stands for "situation normal -- all fouled up", though "fouled" is usually replaced with the better-known expletive.)<br />

|TV-Y7<br />
|This Canadian CGI series was created by Ian Pearson and Gavin Blair, the makers of the CGI in the famous Dire Straits "Money for Nothing" music video. It takes place in a digital world called Mainframe where the Guardian Bob fights against the evil viruses Megabyte and Hexadecimal. His allies include Dot Matrix and her little brother Enzo. <br />
<br />
The series contains pro-family themes in its depiction of the familial relationship between Dot and Enzo, with Dot acting as a mother to Enzo due to their parents being deceased. Dot is very caring and protective of Enzo, while Enzo looks up to his sister and affectionately calls her "sis."<br />
<br />
The series promotes capitalism, as Dot is the owner of a Diner. In the second episode "Racing the Clock," Enzo aspires to be a capitalist like his sister by starting his own delivery service. <br />
<br />
The series also condemns the use of smear propaganda. In Season 3, the show's original protagonist, Bob, has been thrown into the Web, and Enzo, having been recently made a Guardian, carries on in his stead. However, Megabyte uses his minion, Cyrus, to launch a smear campaign to turn the Mainframers against Enzo. <br />
<br />
The series promotes redemption, as Cyrus eventually changes sides and helps Enzo win a "game" (a large purple cube that comes down and puts Mainframers in a virtual games world where they will be "nullified" if they lose to the Player Character, referred to as the "User"). Hack and Slash, Megabyte's two most prominent henchmen, as well as the virus Hexadecimal, also eventually turn good.<br />

|When Aku, an evil shapeshifting demon, devastates a boy prince's land in feudal Japan, the prince is sent around the world to train to become the ultimate samurai warrior. He returns home as a young man and sets out to use a divinely-crafted katana previously wielded by his sage father, the unnamed Emperor, to slay Aku. Before the prince can strike the killing blow, Aku opens a time portal to send him eons into the future, where the demon rules the world. The samurai adopts the name "Jack" upon hearing locals repeatedly refer to him as such and vows to fight Aku's oppression until he can return to his own time and undo Aku's future. Not only is the inventive series famous for bringing many artistic and technical innovations to animated cartoons, such as slower, more cinematic pacing and extended stretches of time without any spoken dialogue, it teaches audiences to value hard work and persistence even when goals are seemingly out of reach. Likewise, it draws a clear distinction between Jack as a paragon of good (if not a Christlike figure) who values family, friendship, unity, and selflessly helping people in need above all else; and Aku as the ultimate form of evil (analogous to Satan), who compulsively, nihilistically, and relentlessly pursues his selfish ambitions because he cannot stop his own diabolical nature. In a few episodes, Jack collaborates with a brutish and boisterous but well-intentioned, unnamed Scotsman who is his sole equal in melee combat and subtly promotes the Second Amendment by using a submachine gun as both a prosthetic leg and a supplemental weapon.<br />

|''She-Ra: Princess of Power (Filmation series)<br />
|1985-1986<br />
|First-run syndication<br />
|TV-Y7<br />
|The sister show to ''He-Man and the Masters of the Universe''. Although the titular protagonist, She-Ra herself, is female, the show does not promote radical feminism, instead promoting many of the same conservative themes as its spear counterpart. The pro-family themes are still present as the ''He-Man'' crossover episodes emphasize the familial bond between Adora/She-Ra and her brother Adam/He-Man and unlike a feminist, She-Ra does not act patronized by being protected by her brother. There is also a family bond between Glimmer and her mother Queen Angella and in the episode "Micah of Bright Moon," they are reunited with their husband/father King Micah. The series also has an anti-tyranny and pro-freedom message since the main characters are fighting in the Great Rebellion against the Evil Horde, a group of alien invaders led by the series antagonist Hordak. The Horde is shown to engage in cruel taxation in multiple episodes. The episodes "A Loss for Words" and "Book Burning" contain a pro-free speech message. In the former, the Horde's witch, Shadow Weaver, devises a spell that makes people unable to talk in order to prevent them from speaking out against the Horde. The latter is about censorship of information that goes against the Horde's [[narrative]]. Sadly, the series got a much more liberal reboot in 2018.<br />

|Part of Japan's ''World Masterpiece Theater'', which adapted various beloved children's classics, ''Tales of Little Women'' is an animated adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic story of four sisters growing into little women set against the [[Civil War]], while skillfully expanding on the source material, including showing [[capitalism]] in a positive light, mainly in the form of Jo's boss Henry Murdoch, owner and publisher of ''The Newcord Times'' (who hires former runaway slave John Marty), as well as being as pro-family as its source material.<br />

|Baloo (A character who first appeared in Disney's 1967 animated version of ''The Jungle Book'') works as a cargo pilot for a small business called "Higher for Hire." The business is owned by capitalist businesswoman Rebecca Cunningham. Although Baloo's employer is female, the series does not promote feminism because Rebecca shows respect for Baloo when he does something good and she makes mistakes sometimes. The series is also pro-family, as Baloo serves as a father figure for his adopted son Kit Cloudkicker and Rebecca is shown to be a loving, caring mother to her daughter Molly. <br />
<br />
The series also depicts Socialism, Communism, and Big Government in a negative light, as the recurring nation of "Thembria" (a stand-in for the Soviet Union) is a poverty-stricken nation constantly marred by big-government bureaucracy with long lines for basic government services. Its recurring representative, Colonel Spigot, acts like a Russian Commissar, constantly boasting about his country's "greatness" with no self-awareness of how terrible his country really is. Thembria is a Police State in which people are often charged with frivolous crimes as an excuse to imprison people. Thembria is depicted as having state-run media and total censorship of all foreign media. The state-run media broadcasts public executions to make "examples" of those who resist the State. Thembria's leader, the "High Marshall," is depicted as a totalitarian, egotistical Stalin-like figure who uses Communist cliches like "the people's [blank]."<br />

|1987-1996<br />
|First-run syndication (1987-1989), CBS (1990-1996)<br />
|NR<br />
|Loosely based on the comic book series of the same name by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman. Four anthropomorphic turtles, guided by their Master and father figure Splinter, an anthropomorphic rat who was formerly human (as depicted in the show's opening montage), and assisted by their friend, Channel 6 news reporter April O'Neil, fight to protect New York City from the evil forces of Shredder and Krang, in addition to other villains and criminals. The series contains pro-family themes as the turtles are brothers and their mentor Splinter acts as a surrogate father, whom the turtles treat with great respect. <br />
<br />
The series also depicts the Mainstream Media in a negative light, as the head of Channel 6, Burne Thompson, constantly attempts to slander the turtles and turn the public against them (much like J. Jonah Jameson from ''Spider-Man''). Also, in the episode "Turtles on Trial," a slimy, sleazy talk show host named "Clayton Kellerman" (an obvious reference to liberal talk show host David Letterman) mocks, insults, and slanders the turtles very badly, and even after they save his life, he still refuses to recant his slander because he "has a reputation to uphold and [he] didn't get it by being a nice guy." The only positive member of the media is April, who acts very much like a modern Internet pundit countering the slander against the Turtles and revealing the truth.<br />
<br />
The show also has an anti-pacifist message:<br />
<br />
In the episode "Hot-Rodding Teenagers from Dimension X" the "Neutrinos" are introduced as a group of Pacifists from Dimension X (The dimension where the main villain Krang and his Technodrome are from) who don't want to fight and just want to have fun. They are shown having lots of fun on Earth (without any teenage vices) and don't want to go back to the war in Dimension X. But by the end of the episode, they realize the necessity of fighting against the forces of Krang in Dimension X. <br />
<br />
In the episode "Attack of the Big MACC," MACC is introduced as a soldier robot from the future who doesn't want to fight anymore (like No. 5 from ''Short Circuit''), but by the end of the episode, the Turtles convince him to become a "soldier for peace," indicating that peace will only come if it is fought for.<br />
<br />
In "Planet of the Turtleoids," the titular race of anthropomorphic turtles are pacifists who live in the idyllic city of "Shell-ri-la" are defenseless against a two-headed dragon named Herman the Horrible (who turns out to be a machine piloted by two corrupt members of Shell-ri-la's own government). This demonstrates how pacifism merely leaves a nation at the mercy of any aggressor who might attack it.<br />
<br />
The episode "Shredderville" shows the failure of a centrally-planned economy. In the episode, the Turtles find themselves in an alternate reality where they never existed and Shredder succeeded in taking over the world. Unfortunately, as "Emperor Shredder," he attempts to micromanage the economy of his "empire" but can't keep up with all of the repair requests and thus the world is in a horrible state of disrepair.<br />

|1984-1987<br />
|First-run syndication<br />
|TV-G<br />
|The Autobots protect Earth and humanity from their old enemies, the Decepticons. The show makes a clear distinction between good and evil by contrasting the protective, charitable, and altruistic Autobots vs the misanthropic, self-serving Decepticons. The show also promotes family with the relationship between Spike Witwicky and his father, Sparkplug, and later Spike's wife Carly and son Daniel.<br />
<br />
In the episode "Megatron's Master Plan," the Decepticons disguise themselves as Autobots in a [[False flag|False Flag Operation]] to frame the Autobots and they are helped by an unscrupulous human named Shawn Berger. As a result, the Autobots are banished from Earth, and the Decepticons take over and enslave humanity. Ironhide and Cliffjumper eventually persuade Optimus Prime to head back to Earth, on the understanding that it's better to protect the humans from the Decepticons even if they're not appreciated for it. After thwarting an attempt to push them into the sun, the Autobots liberate the humans from the Decepticons, vindicating themselves despite the lack of evidence of the False flag. In season 2, a new group of flying Autobots, the Aerialbots, are introduced. At first, they don't see the value of protecting humans since humans are smaller, weaker, and more frail than they are. Their attitude changes as they get to know the humans. The episode "Thief in the Night" eschews [[Political Correctness]] by depicting a Libya-like dictatorship called "Carbombya" and its dictator Abdul Fakkadi is an obvious reference to [[Muammar al-Gaddafi]]. Fakkadi is depicted as extremely egotistical and narcissistic, just like the real-life Gaddafi, and the name of his country is a reference to Gaddafi's support of [[Terrorism|terrorists]]. This episode offended liberal voice actor (and "Palestinian" sympathizer) Casey Kasem, who left the show over it.<br />

|1965<br />
|CBS<br />
|G<br />
|Based upon the ''Peanuts'' comic strip created by Charles M. Schulz, the real meaning of Christmas is discussed in the first animated prime-time ''Peanuts'' TV special, as Linus quotes Luke 2:8-14. Decries the materialism that surrounds the Christmas holiday, making it one of the only [[List of Christmas specials that reference the birth of Jesus Christ|Christmas specials that references the birth of Jesus Christ]].<br />

|''Christmas Who''<br />
|2000<br />
|Nickelodeon<br />
|TV-Y7<br />
|Even though it comes from a television series called ''SpongeBob SquarePants'', which is arguably conservative, this particular episode is very great and conservative. It can be seen as both a parody of the classic conservative novel by [[Charles Dickens]] called ''[[A Christmas Carol]]'' as well as a Christmas special in its own right. After SpongeBob is introduced to Christmas by Sandy Cheeks (he humorously believes her treedome caught on fire, when in reality Sandy was putting up Christmas decorations), he is eager to celebrate with the rest of his friends. Squidward Tentacles starts out hating Christmas when SpongeBob first tells him about it, akin to Ebenezer Scrooge and his nephew, Fred, but ends up giving everything he owns to other citizens in Bikini Bottom.<br />
|-<br />
|''Frosty the Snowman''<br />
|1969<br />
|CBS<br />
|N/A<br />
|This animated adaptation of the classic Christmas song of the same name follows almost the exact narrative of the song and has an element of redemption when Santa Claus has magician Professor Hinkle, whose magic hat animates Frosty, craft apology letters for his earlier selfish actions and promises him a new magician's hat if he succeeds. It celebrates the innocence of childhood as well because main human Karen sees no evil in Frosty while other adults do. At one point, Frosty selflessly leaves the train with Karen, knowing he won't be able to travel to the North Pole after doing so due to seeing that she's cold inside the cold storage box and makes sure to create a fire to warm her up. Later had two sequels, one called ''Frosty's Winter Wonderland'', and the other called ''Frosty Returns''. The former acted as the direct sequel to the special and hasn't gotten any airings, and the latter was more indirect and annually airs alongside the original special on CBS the day after Thanksgiving.<br />

|In this animated adaptation of the children's book by [[Dr. Seuss]] of the same name, the Grinch starts out being nihilistic and hating Christmas, but ends up knowing that Christmas is about more than just gifts and ends up giving all of the presents he stole back. This can additionally be seen as showing the importance of redemption as well as the unimportance of materialism. In addition, the special adds in a scene where the newly-reformed Grinch alongside his dog attempts to rush to retrieve the sled before it falls off the cliff, nearly getting killed in the process.<br />

When the preparation for the photo appears to be a failure, several characters begin singing "When You Wish Upon a Star" to lift everyone's moods, showing that hope can thrive even in difficult situations (the photo does continue, after all, and is a success). Family and friendship are also portrayed well in this short film.<br />

|CBS<br />
|N/A<br />
|Aired as part of the anthology series ''GE True'', Jack Webb (of ''Dragnet'' fame) hosted and narrated this special (originally released by the Armed Forces for showing in school classrooms in 1957 under the title ''Freedom and You'') which warned about the dangers of Communism and the attempts of Communists to infiltrate American society and overthrow the US Government in favor of a totalitarian Communist dictatorship. The special starred Jack Kelly (''Maverick''), Jeanne Cooper (later of soap opera ''The Young and the Restless'') and Pat Woodell (''Petticoat Junction'') as a family finding themselves subjected to the horrors of a Communist-ruled America in a nightmare experienced by the father (played by Kelly), with Peter Breck (later of Western series ''The Big Valley'') in a cameo role as a Russian Communist commissar and character actor Andrew Duggan as a "judge" in a Communist kangaroo court.<br />

|''Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer''<br />
|1964<br />
|NBC<br />
|N/A<br />
|This stop-motion animated adaptation of the Christmas song and poem of the same name follows an origin story for the title fictional reindeer as he runs away from home as a child due to discrimination based on his red nose, then returns home in adulthood to overcome this prejudice (as an allegory for overcoming racism) to ensure that Santa Claus will be able to fly his sleigh on a foggy evening. He succeeds beyond the odds by focusing his mind on his individualist goal, as does Hermie the elf when he chooses to be a dentist. The importance of family comes into play as well since Rudolph, after returning home to his parents' den and learning they themselves have left trying to find him when he fled the North Pole, attempts to find them, saving his friends in the process from the infamous Abominable Snowmonster of the North. A subtle redemption theme is present as well because the Abominable Snowmonster, after getting his teeth pulled out by Hermie to neutralize him, ultimately helps make Christmas a reality and became allied with the Elves at the North Pole. Supporting character Yukon Cornelius is a northern explorer and a model capitalist, who desires to find gold and/or silver but eventually settles for finding a peppermint mine in an exclusive deleted scene. The special airs annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving on CBS.<br />

|The documentary, published on PBS after being legally forced to do so with the cooperation of [[Accuracy in Media]], exposes the truth of not only the Vietnam War, but also the lies told by and the [[Liberal bias]] held by the various mainstream media outlets during that time (including PBS, in particular the schlockumentary ''Vietnam: A Televised History'' made a year before, which was what caused them to be required to make the documentary in the first place). It had two parts, the first called "the real story", and the second called "The Impact Of Media.", and was narrated by [[Charlton Heston]].

|PG<br />
|Four children deal with family problems and parenting. The season potrays discipline as positive, as the parents learn that a lack of discipline creates rebellious teenagers. Abortion is seen as abnormal. The only unplanned pregnancy that ends in abortion is shown to have devestating effects on the mother. The rest of the children are either adopted or raised by the parents.<br />
<br />
That said, however, one episode had one of the characters learning how to issue an apology that can be taken as an implication that it's okay to fake apologies, with it not helping that the kid and his mother used as a basis Bill Clinton's "apology" during the Monica Lewinsky scandal.<br />

|A hardworking teenager struggles to succeed in life despite having a feckless liberal mother (aided in her actions by her promiscuous and equally feckless best friend) and an absentee liberal father. The entire premise of the comedy is that, although the women never succeed in their wild ideas, they never really learn from their mistakes and continually repeat them. Also, in the episode "Morocco", it is strongly hinted that Saffron (the teenager) loses her virginity to a young Muslim man.<br />

Season Five in particular has an anti-[[globalism]] theme.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTPRFktHLuc&t=31s The Anti-Globalist Themes of ''Angel'' Season 5] at YouTube</ref> That being said, the show still has some liberal moments, as Angel allies with demons and in some instances suggests they're good.

While she does smoke weed, it does show the disastrous results and consequences of her actions in one instance involved her accidentally burning down her friend's house.

|An animated adaptation of the comic strip of the same name. The show has some pro-family values in the form of the MacPhersons. That being said, however, the show has a huge amount of dysfunctional families being portrayed as comedic as well as it engaging in various liberal values-style crass humor such as some near occasions of infidelity, implied lesbianism, some dysfunctional families, a reference to a messy divorce, and an old man having trophy wives, due to executives demanding they make it more like ''The Simpsons'' (which at the time it aired was being run by Mike Scully which engaged in similar humor by that time) and the early stages of ''Family Guy''. This resulted in most of the audience as well as the original creators of the comic strip to condemn it.<br />

|''The Beverly Hillbillies'' <br />
|1962-1971<br />
|CBS <br />
|<br />
|Although it depicts a conservative family from the South as silly, the show powerfully illustrates how material possessions do not define a person. Buddy Ebsen stars as Jed Clampett, patriarch of the hillbilly Clampett family, who became multi-millionaires after Jed struck oil on his land in the Ozark Mountains and moved with his family to Beverly Hills, California. However, the Clampetts never let their newly obtained wealth affect who they are as people, maintaining moral and simplistic lifestyles throughout the show's run (except in a few episodes in the final season where several of the female characters fell under the influence of [[feminism]] and began pushing a feminist agenda). Irene Ryan stars as Jed's mother-in-law Daisy May "Granny" Moses; Donna Douglas plays his beautiful, tomboyish, and animal-loving daughter Elly May Clampett; Max Baer portrays the dimwitted yet good-natured Clampett cousin Jethro Bodine; Raymond Bailey plays unscrupulous banker Milburn Drysdale; and Nancy Kulp stars as Drysdale's secretary Jane Hathaway. <br />
<br />
Popular throughout its run, ''The Beverly Hillbillies'' fell victim in 1971 to CBS' Rural Purge but has remained popular in syndicated reruns ever since and led to the 1981 reunion TV movie ''Return of the Beverly Hillbillies'', a 1993 TV special titled ''The Legend of the Beverly Hillbillies'', and a feature film remake of the series that same year. The film starred Jim Varney as Jed, Erika Eleniak as Elly May, Cloris Leachman as Granny, Diedrich Bader as Jethro, Dabney Coleman as Mr. Drysdale, and Lily Tomlin as Miss Hathaway, with a cameo by Buddy Ebsen (in his final acting role) as his other famous TV character, [[Barnaby Jones]].<br />

|''Blue Bloods''<br />
|2010-<br />
|[[CBS]]<br />
|TV-PG<br />
|Conservative police officer show, that also promotes family. Stars conservative actor Tom Selleck as officer Frank Reagan (a possible name reference to Ronald Reagan). It also features Christian principles, with religion playing a fairly major role in several episodes, and each episode also ending with the Reagan family saying prayers before a meal (with such an overt depiction of Christian principles being rare on present-day TV). In addition, the series is clearly pro-Law Enforcement, with episodes dealing with conflicts between the city hall and the police force being present and the characters trying to demonize the police force, some of which including journalists, being shown in a negative light. This is ultimately necessary especially given the anti-law enforcement agenda being pushed in various liberal media.<br />
<br />
That being said, however, more recent seasons of the series, largely due to the writers being replaced by more liberal writers, started adhering to more liberal and left-wing views, including moral relativism, leading to a decline in ratings as a result.<ref>https://www.conservativenewsandviews.com/2020/04/19/editorial/entertainment/blue-bloods-gone-oprah/</ref><br />

Though he appears to be the "hero" of the series, each immoral decision leads him further along the path of destruction, and the evildoers all suffer for their actions. An alternate ending to the series depicts Cranston in his role as Hal, the patriarch of the family on the sitcom ''Malcolm in the Middle'', waking up and realizing that the world of ''Breaking Bad'' was all a dream.<br />

|Main character Captain Holt is an open homosexual in charge of the fictitious 99th police precinct in Brooklyn, New York City. However, his sexuality is downplayed for the most part, and this sitcom seems to humanize the police in an era when liberal news media does everything it can to dehumanize the authorities. It lightheartedly teaches that the police are kind, likeable everyday people with internal and interpersonal obstacles to overcome, and it averts the liberal idea that the police are "racist" with its multiracial main cast. On top of that, a number of villains that the detectives face are drug abusers or dealers, which supports war on illegal drugs, and Sgt. Terry Jeffords, one of the main characters, is a family man who prefers to act in the best interest of his wife and daughters.<br />

|The good guys protecting the public from criminals, yet arguably promotes police state and big government. Filmed on location in many exotic and mundane locales with actual law enforcement agencies, both here in the U.S. and abroad. On the other hand, the police are also clearly depicted in a positive light, which is ultimately needed especially in light of the liberal news media's current unjust demonization of them. The show unfortunately ended up cancelled by Liberal network executives due to the events of the Rayshard Brooks and George Floyd riots. However it has since returned on the Fox Nation streaming service.<br />

|Davey and Goliath<br />
|1961-1973<br />
|First Run Syndication<br />
|<br />
|Created by Art Clokey of Gumby fame, this stop-motion animated series depicts a wholesome, conservative, church-going American family. However, in order to appeal to a wider audience, this show never mentions the Gospel, or even Jesus, for that matter. It was also commissioned by the liberal Evangelical Lutheran Church in America<br />
|-<br />
|''Dinosaurs''<br />
|1991-1994<br />
|ABC<br />
|TV-Y7<br />
|This work by Jim Henson of ''Muppets'' fame tells of a family of dinosaurs named the Sinclairs adjusting to suburban life after millions of years of wild living. There are Earl the father (a stubborn and bumbling ''Megalosaurus'' who works as a "tree-pusher"), Fran the mother (a down-to-earth ''Allosaurus'' who is a housewife), Robbie the son (a teenager who often questions the way dinosaurs do things like eating meat and howling at the moon), Charlene the daughter (a typical teenage girl), and the Baby (a fully-talking and rambunctious baby dinosaur who often calls Earl "Not the Mama!"). There is even Fran's elderly mother Ethyl, who dislikes Earl.<br />
<br />
The show may have a lot of liberal subjects, but there are also some conservative moments as well. Earl tries his best to act as the father of the household in spite of his bumbling ways, while Fran makes sure to keep the house running from the homestead. There are times when Robbie and Earl clash over ideas (like Robbie wanting to be a vegetarian instead of a carnivore), but they make up at the end of the day and support each other. At his tree-pushing job, Earl works under the supervision of his boss B.P. Richfield, a ''Styracosaurus'' and the tyrannical and greedy owner of the WESAYSO Corporation. Friendship is even upheld in "The Howling", where Robbie helps repair the friendship between Earl and his co-worker Roy (a ''Tyrannosaurus Rex'') by getting them to howl so that they can get rid of their aggression; in that same episode, Roy even gives Robbie a pencil box as a present - the same pencil box that his father had given to him on his Howling Day - because he wanted to pass it on to someone in spite of not having kids of his own, thus he sees Robbie and the other Sinclairs as family. Another episode called "Earl and Pearl" ends with Earl reconciling with his country music-playing sister Pearl, even singing "Leaves and Trees" together at the end of the episode. Drug use is even condemned in a few episodes. One called "Steroids to Heaven" has Robbie eating little spiked creatures called Thornoids to impress a girl, to which his ''Polacanthus'' friend Spike - himself being a delinquent - calls him out for using the Thornoids and being aggressive as a result, trapping him with his newly grown spikes to wait until the effect wears off. The second called "A New Leaf" involves a plant that makes dinosaurs deliriously happy; Robbie even ends the episode by giving a speech warning against the use of drugs as well as humorously warning against the dangers of preachy anti-drug episodes.<br />
<br />
In spite of these conservative moments, the show touches a lot of liberal subjects, from gender confusion to feminism. An episode even has a scenario resembling people coming out as homosexuals, only that Robbie wants to be more herbivore than carnivore and eat more vegetables, which Earl sees as going against the "natural order" (the food chain). Another episode features an in-show TV show about a dinosaur admitting that he's a "cross-eater" and says that he feels like a carnivore in an herbivore's body, which seems to be a metaphor for being transgender or a cross-dresser. The biggest subject the characters discuss throughout the series is environmentalism, from leaving forests intact to avoiding the eradication of endangered species. At the end of the series, wiping out a certain species of beetle that depends on a certain species of flower sadly leads to the eventual extinction of the dinosaurs, who face certain doom from the resulting Ice Age.<br />

|Nickelodeon<br />
|TV-Y7<br />
|The main protagonist, Timmy Turner, commonly wishes for things from his quirky fairy godparents that aren't the best, but he almost always learns his lesson in the end. The series, created by Christian animator Butch Hartman, exposes the dangers of wishing for one's personal gain at the expense of others. Furthermore, it lightly pokes fun at the public school system: Denzel Crocker, a teacher and a regular antagonist, is completely insane and obsessed with both giving poor grades and trying to prove to the world that fairy godparents exist for his own personal gain.<br />
<br />
However, during later seasons, it has engaged in more liberal values, such as a joke in the series finale indicating that Timmy's father had gender confusion.<ref>https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e750e632fb32e537977853dd06fdb609bc776f04a81dab64be1fb9c5bd28ef1e.jpg</ref><br />

|''[[Friends]]''<br />
|1994-2004<br />
|NBC<br />
|TV-PG<br />
|The sitcom is about six young adults living in New York City. It often promotes alcoholism and sex outside marriage. But on a conservative note, the show condemns smoking and drug usage, and somewhat a condemnation of the homosexual agenda, as Ross’s life was negatively affected by his wife being lesbian, as well as Chandler's childhood being effected by his dad becoming a transgender. On top of that two of the characters; Ross and Monica are brother and sister, which could also give the show a pro-family aspect.<br />

|A more liberal-leaning sequel to the consevrative ''Full House'', which debuted on Netflix in 2016 and promotes more liberal values and politics (including the trashing of [[Donald Trump]] in the pilot episode) and shows them in a positive light, as well as looking very much like nearly every live-action [[Disney Channel]] show produced in recent years. Series star Candace Cameron Bure, who appears in both shows and was also a panelist on ABC talk show ''The View'' (acting as the conservative counterpoint to the show's heavily liberal panelists; she left due to the bi-coastal commute -- Bure lives in northern California -- keeping her away from her family, as well as to focus on her work with [[Hallmark Channel]]), is a born-again Christian and is socially conservative. The show is still pro-family. Jodie Sweetin, who played middle daughter Stephanie Tanner on both shows, recently came out as a full-fledged leftist who supports both [[Antifa]] and the Revolutionary Communist Party and is also a supporter of abortion who took part with Antifa punks in a pro-abortion "protest" in Los Angeles in June 2022.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/06/fuller-house-actress-jodie-sweetin-joins-antifa-protesters-blocking-highway-la-gets-shoved-ground-police-refusing-complyvideo/ Fuller House Actress Jodie Sweetin Joins Antifa Protesters Blocking Highway in LA, Gets Shoved to Ground By Police While Refusing to Comply] at the Gateway Pundit</ref><br />

|''Gargoyles''<br />
|1994-1996<br />
|ABC<br />
|TV-Y7<br />
|The depiction of Businessman David Xanatos as a villain hints at anti-capitalism and the episode "Deadly Force" hints at an anti-gun message. However, the series depicts the titular Gargoyles practicing voluntary charity as guardians of humanity. The series is also pro-family, as the Gargoyles are like a family to each other. Also, the series is pro-law enforcement with NYPD detective Elisa Maza being depicted in a positive light. Elisa has a positive relationship with her family as well. The series depicts hatred and revenge in a negative light, as personified by the evil Gargoyle Demona. She is a misanthrope who blames humans for all of the problems in her life, yet it's shown that most of them are the result of her own treacherous actions (much like how black criminals who are claimed to be victims of "police brutality" brought the actions on themselves through their own bad choices). <br />
|-<br />
|''God Friended Me''<br />
|2018-2020<br />
|CBS<br />
|<br />
|On the one hand, the TV series is pro-Christianity, and the main character, an outspoken atheist, is shown to be at least considering that "God" might be real after a chance encounter with the God account. On the other hand, one of the principal characters, the main character's sister, is a lesbian, with her father, a priest at the Episcopal church, implying that God is in her despite God condemning the practice of homosexuality.<br />

|''Gravity Falls''<br />
|2012-2016<br />
|Disney Channel, later Disney XD<br />
|TV-Y7<br />
|Inspired by the life of its creator, Alex Hirsch, this mystery/science fiction/horror comedy series follows twin siblings Dipper and Mabel Pines as they spend as summer in the fictional town of Gravity Falls, [[Oregon]], investigating the supernatural oddities surrounding the town with guidance from one of three journals left behind by an initially anonymous author.<br />
<br />
On the one hand, it stereotypes capitalists as either "criminals" or simply being obsessed with money: the twins' Great Uncle/"Grunkle" Stan is introduced as a relatively simple character whose only goal in life is to fool the "world's dumbest people" with a tourist trap dubbed The Mystery Shack and filled with pretend supernatural phenomena, hoping to earn their money. Even worse, throughout the series, recurring incompetent police officers Sheriff Blubbs and Deputy Durland are implied to have homosexual feelings for one another, and this is confirmed in the series finale.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, family and redemption seem to be central themes of the series in the long run. When Stan's long-lost twin brother, Stanford "Ford" Pines, returns from being trapped in another dimension and reveals himself as the author of the journals, the brothers come to grips with their personal flaws, and Stan shows how he truly regrets leading a life of crime, wishing things could have turned out differently and calling himself "the screw-up". He gets his chance at redemption when he and Ford together outwit Bill Cipher, an interdimensional dream demon and the series' main antagonist, and erase the monster from existence, which causes them to mend their relationship.<br />

|''[[Happy Days]]''<br />
|1974-1984<br />
|ABC<br />
|TV-G<br />
|Originally launched as a 1972 episode of ''Love, American Style'' called "Love and the Television Set" and set in the 1950s. The show was pro-family and celebrated family values, as the Cunningham family, the show's original main focus, always supported each other even through the rough times. The show is also pro-fatherhood. The show's main father figure, Howard Cunningham, is shown to be mature, calm and responsible, and always does his best to help his kids. Also a little anti-feminism, with Howard owning and running a hardware store and making all the money, and his wife Marion being the housewife. On the other hand, producers admitted to pushing [[pacifism]] and sentiments against the [[Vietnam War]] effort.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2011/jun/29/is-us-tv-too-leftwing</ref> Protagonist Richie Cunningham, a high school student played by Ron Howard as a regular from 1974 to 1980, is a supporter of the Democrat Party; as part of his school's Young Democrats club, he supports Democrat presidential candidate [[Adlai Stevenson]] in the 1956 election in the Season Two episode "The Not Making of a President" and, as such, is portrayed as young and idealistic yet naïve.<br />
<br />
Debuting to modest ratings in January 1974 after ABC green-lit it to series, ''Happy Days'' became a huge hit in its later years after the emphasis was shifted more to formerly supporting character Arthur "The Fonz/Fonzie" Fonzarelli (played by Henry Winkler); a greaser, former gang member, womanizer, and high school dropout who nonetheless became increasingly popular with the series' audience and became the main focus of the show after Howard's departure. The series spawned several spinoffs, including ''Laverne & Shirley'', ''Mork & Mindy'' (created as a vehicle for stand-up comedian [[Robin Williams]]), and the animated series ''The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang''.<br />

|Despite being dark and nihilistic and made by the creator of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, an adult oriented 1990s comic book, Dib is the protagonist who uses critical thinking to expose Zim as an alien. It also pokes fun at public schools where Ms. Bitters is a frightening and elderly teacher.<br />

|''Justice League''<br />
|2001-2006<br />
|Cartoon Network<br />
|TV-Y7<br />
|A [[charity|private non-profit organization]] lead by American icons [[Superman]], [[Batman]], [[Wonder Woman]] and other DC characters fight to help the helpless and fight for justice. The event where they were formed featured a condemnation towards anti-Second Amendment policies, as a senator advocates unilateral nuclear disarmament, the result of which led directly to an invasion from Mars by the Imperium (with said senator actually being an agent that took the place of the real senator during a brief incursion to Mars), with the only one who realized the problem posed by nuclear disarmament being a general. The episode "Fury" depicts feminism in a negative light, as the antagonist Aresia, a rogue Amazon, intends to kill all men in the world with a deadly allergen. Even Hippolyta, the normally misandristic leader of the Amazons, and Wonder Woman's mother, condemns her actions and reveals that a man actually saved her life when she was a child. In addition, another episode, "The Terror Beyond", features themes of Redemption as well as an implicit acknowledgement that God and Heaven exists, as the character Solomon Grundy, an undead character, sought to die and atone for his sins, ultimately doing so in order to stop the Icthultu (an obvious reference to Lovecraft), with Hawkgirl, an alien who doesn't believe in Christianity due to her cultural background, nonetheless assuring him that his soul is waiting for him in Heaven on his deathbed. A similar promotion of redemption exists with Hawkgirl's arc, as after she was involved in an invasion by her species before having a change of heart and stopping the invasion, she has to undergo a lot of effort to make up for her role, eventually having a tie-breaker from Superman allowing her back into the league after sufficiently redeeming herself. However, the later episodes did start being left-leaning (probably being bullied by left-wing producers) as there is an episode that the villain Chronos plans to go back in time to undo the [[Big Bang theory]] and become a God. Another episode, "To Another Shore", claims that "[[global warming]]" may be real.<br />

|''Kim Possible''<br />
|2002-2007<br />
|Disney Channel<br />
|<br />
|Although it was feminist due to the titular character Kim Possible tending to save the world and her sidekick Ron Stoppable generally being comic relief, it also was pro-family values, as it was notably one of the few Disney Channel shows where the fathers of the main characters (Kim and Ron) were not depicted as bumbling, buffoonish, childish, or as a jerk, and in many cases the fathers actually helped significantly to save the day. For instance, Kim Possible's dad James Possible is a friendly yet brilliant rocket scientist, and believes in family bonds, and often pushes his children to follow family values and also honor family. In addition, there were several episodes where Ron played a significant role in saving the world. It is also notable as being one of the few Disney Channel shows to actually break the 65-episode cutoff rule on the network.<br />

Although ultimately promoting law enforcement in a positive light, the series eventually started pushing more liberal themes, usually by pushing twists that have the ones most likely considered guilty being in fact innocent, while white-collar characters are depicted as the villains, which former lead Michael Moriarity implied was due to the growing influence of one of the show's showrunners, Dick Wolf's hard-left politics.<ref>https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/michael-moriarty/2009/12/14/law-orders-persistent-leftward-lurch</ref> Is followed by a spinoff called ''Law & Order: SVU'' that was far more overtly liberal in its outlook (see its entry in [[Essay:Worst Liberal TV Shows]] for more details).<br />

|A six-episode documentary series that, as implied by the title, covers the rise and reign of the Nazi Party in Germany. Although overall showing the horrors of the Nazi Party and its totalitarian aspects, as well as exposing elements of Hitler's character that weren't generally known (such as his having a very disordered personal life despite his emphasis on order) and also acknowledging the Communists and Soviets have committed atrocities, and even connected the Nazis to the French Revolution regarding inspirations, the documentary, or at least the first episode, repeats leftist propaganda made post-World War II of claiming the Nazis were a "far-Right" political party when in reality they belonged to the far-Left (and only being slightly to the right of German Communists/Red Front at most), and also implies in the third episode that Stalin and Hitler were ideological enemies when in reality they were closer to rivals regarding control over the Left. The final episode also implied that the Soviets' rapes of German women and various atrocities were the result of the Nazis' actions, when in reality the Soviets did them according to Communist ideology, and that the Nazis' invasion of Eastern Europe had played a comparatively minor role. In addition, although it alludes to a blood red moon as foreshadowing World War II when Hitler signed the pact with Stalin, it does not directly address the connection between it and visions given in Fatima, or indeed, any religious reasons behind the red moon in question.<br />

|''[[NCIS]]'' <br />
|2003-<br />
|CBS <br />
|TV-14 <br />
|Show about U.S. Navy investigators, voted ''America's favorite program in 2011''; starring Mark Harmon and David McCallum. While it is generally pro-America and pro-military, it does include some unneeded and un-Christian activity and language. For example, The season 6 episode "Capitol Offense" promotes environmentalism by having a Senator sponsoring a "Green energy" bill that's being opposed by "big oil" (a tired old liberal myth and claptrap). He confides in Gibbs to cover up an affair he had with a dead female naval officer to make sure the bill passes. The season 7 episode "Faith" has a Marine who converted to Islam being killed by his younger brother and a Muslim Chaplain being targeted with threats, clearly promoting the liberal "Islamophobia" claptrap. It also promotes the theme park version of Islam that most liberals think it is. Ziva even talks about "intolerance" which a true Israeli Jew and former Mossad officer wouldn't do. A real Mossad officer would certainly know firsthand how violent the religion of Islam is, especially if her own half-brother was a Muslim terrorist. In addition, the Marine's father is a Reverend who says things a truly devout Christian would never say such as "he found his god" when talking about his son and a line from Gibbs promotes the myth that Islam and Christianity have "the same god" which is typical "coexist" nonsense. <br />

Although like its parent show, it is pro-Military and deals with the same premise, it has a bit more of a liberal viewpoint to the show, and infamously had an episode during the fourth season that dealt with the team trying to investigate a political murder during an election despite it being outside their jurisdiction. One particular episode "History", also in the fourth season, has a condemnation of student radicals, many of whom were parroting statements by socialist organizations, with a professor being involved who had been formerly a member of the Gun Barrel Party, a Weathermen Underground-esque domestic terrorist group from the 1970s that was explicitly stated to be named after [[Mao Zedong]]'s statement about how "political power derives from the barrel of a gun" who used the faking of his death to undergo a new identity to try and teach generations to undergo his radical beliefs, and was largely depicted in an unsympathetic light, although it does falsely claim that the Occupy Wall Street crowd of not being terrorists despite it airing around the time of the Cleveland bridge bombing crisis that OWS was tied to.<br />

|An anime adapted from a series of hugely popular trading cards and video games. The later seasons cut out the more conservative messages to promote more liberal agendas, including having the various female characters starting with May (most of whom are ten years old and thus still children) essentially act as sexual fanservice according to then-director Masamitsu Hidaka (and, at least in the case of the female leads of AG, DP, and XY, their goals of acting as Pokémon Coordinator and Showcase Trainer seemed to promote [[fashion industry values]]), as well as later on the story's refusal to allow Ash to win a league despite it being necessary to have him become a Pokémon Master (with the most infamous example of this being the Ash vs. Alain fight in the final round of the Kalos League, which had Ash losing against Alain despite the series, including the actual Japanese episode title for the battle in question, all but strongly implying the exact opposite), and eventually by Sun and Moon delaying having Ash resume his goal until nearly 40 episodes later, thus resulting in a more nihilistic view of Ash's goal. In fact, not counting Orange Islands, Ash wasn't able to win a League Conference until two decades after the show's premiere. In addition, a running gag since Hoenn and to some extent Johto has Brock constantly chasing women and trying to ask them out, depicting him as a womanizer in a more comedic light. Moreover, the concept of friendships that was strongly emphasized in prior seasons eventually got phased out due to them essentially dropping characters after each season with barely a reference to them.<br />
<br />
However, the first few seasons showcased several conservative messages, including the strife to succeed even when the odds are considered insurmountable, as well as showing parental neglect and abandonment in a negative light in regards to the characters Brock and Misty, and to a certain extent one of the main villains Jessie. In addition, in the first season at least, there were also a few Christian references from Brock and Misty, and to some extent James. Pro-family values are present due to Misty becoming a mother to Togepi, and Brock also intending to aid his family when his parents weren't around due to the latter abandoning their children (or, in the case of the dub, the father abandoning them and the mother dying), only joining Ash after his father, Flint, returned and encouraged Brock to pursue his dreams. Was also anti-Hollywood Values as well, as the episode "Go West Young Meowth" showcases the more depraved nature of Hollywood, including at least one bickering couple, and does not treat it in a positive light, nor does Meowth's sweetheart, Meowzie, an epitome of Hollywood values, come across in a flattering light, with it also being heavily implied that this was the reason Meowth turned to villainy. Similarly, another episode during the first season dealt with a condemnation of fashion industry values as Team Rocket created a salon that heavily dolled up various Pokémon without taking into account their nature, which Suzie, Ash, and Brock condemned, and Misty initially supported to an extent only to pay the price later on when she tried to have Psyduck dolled up. One episode of DP also has an implicit condemnation of the homosexual agenda due to Brock calling Pikachu and Piplup (both of whom are confirmed male in an earlier episode) having an attraction to each other "unnatural." In addition, some episodes implicitly condemn the concept of Social Darwinism by showing various trainers who care only about Pokémon who are powerful and instantly abandon them if they show any sign of weakness in a very negative light. <br />

|''The PowerPuff Girls''<br />
|1998-2005, Reboot 2016-Present<br />
|Cartoon Network<br />
|TV-Y<br />
|On the one hand, the three titular superhero girls seem to be the only protagonists capable of fighting their city’s various supervillains, while the police, consisting mostly of men, are depicted as bumbling and oafish, making the girls feministic (It doesn’t help that one of the working names for the trio was the more profane ''Whoop*** Girls''). Moreover, innuendoes may be peppered throughout (and are more apparent in the 2016 reboot series, much to the chagrin of even the most devoted fans).<br />
<br />
On the other hand, as the girls were created by a scientist to be the “perfect little girls,” they could be more feminine rather than feminist. They try to fit into traditional gender roles despite their capabilities, Buttercup especially struggles with this, and they learn family values from the professor who made them and serves as a responsible, knowledgeable, benevolent father-figure and a voice of reason well-versed in various scientific disciplines. Plus, the recurring antagonist “Him” is an obvious reference to [[Satan]], which hints at support for Christianity; and the devilish fiend is an androgynous being who demonstrates some effeminate traits, which unsympathetically depicts and satirizes gender confusion and homosexual lifestyles, respectively. In addition, a villain of the week, "Femme Fatale", was meant to be a condemnation towards the feminist ideology. On occasion, such as in the episode ''Cop Out'', does show the girls working ''with'' police, in this episode's case, against corrupt officer Mike Brokowski, who blames them for his lazy habits that get him fired, actively trying to ''kill'' them. (fortunately for them, they are immune to acid).<br />

|''Sailor Moon''<br />
|1992-1997 (Japan)<br />
|Fuji TV<br />
|NR<br />
|The series is (in)famous for its promotion of homosexuality with Kunzite/Zoicite and Uranus/Neptune (the former being changed to a heterosexual couple during the initial English localisation (Zoicite was changed to female due to having a slightly more feminine appearance) the latter relationship being altered during localization to them being "cousins", which despite the dubbing company omitting the kissing element, ends up implying that they were committing incest in the dub) and transgenderism with the Sailor Starlights. (it should be noted in the original manga, Kunzite and Zoicite were not romantically involved at all, having a more brotherly relationship, the original plan being that the four Shitennou to be romantically involved with the Inner Senshi, and the Sailor Starlights were simply female who disguised themselves as men as part of a plan to save their princess, the latter of which irritated creator Naoko Takeuchi slightly). On the other hand, it is also pro-family, as Usagi Tsukino (Sailor Moon) has very loving and caring parents whom she loves very much, though they do understandably scold about her grades. Rei Hino (Sailor Mars) is also very close to her grandfather, often taking care of him due to his advanced age. Ami Mizuno (Sailor Mercury) admires her doctor mother and wishes to follow in her mother’s footsteps and is also very hurt by her parents being divorced and the fact she only hears from her artist father once a year. Also, when Usagi and Mamoru Chiba’s (Tuxedo Mask) future daughter Chibi-Usa is introduced, she is shown to be very close to her parents and present-day Usagi and Mamoru take care of her like a little sister.<br />
<br />
The series also contains themes of unconditional love, friendship, mercy, and redemption. Usagi and Rei tend to bicker and get into cranky arguments, but they still really care about each other. The recurring Dark Kingdom Villain Nephrite disguises himself as a human named "Masato Sanjouin" and one of Usagi's friends, Naru, falls in love with him. Naru still loves him even after learning who he really is and eventually, he falls in love with her. Nephrite ultimately sacrifices his life by intercepting an attack that was meant for Naru. In the second season (Sailor Moon R) both sets of villains (The Makai Tree Aliens and the Black Moon Clan) have very distorted understandings of what love is. The Sailor Senshi teach them what real love is. With the Makai Tree Aliens, it’s that love is given, not taken. With the Black Moon Clan they show the Four Specter Sisters that love is unconditional after each of them feels the rejection of their superiors and loses hope. Eventually, all four sisters become good after Sailor Moon uses her crystal to purify them of their dark energy. In the Starlights season, the villainess of the previous arc, Queen Nehellenia, is redeemed by being shown unconditional love. Sailor Moon also helps redeem the arc's main villain Sailor Galaxia by helping to purge the influence of Chaos and returning her to the good person she used to be.<br />
<br />
There is a condemnation of the idea that positive ends justify negative means. In the S season, Sailors Uranus and Neptune believe it is necessary to sacrifice human lives to bring out the talismans from "pure heart" crystals. They also believe that it is necessary to kill Hotaru Tomoe to stop her Sailor form, Sailor Saturn, from destroying the world. Sailor Moon refuses to accept either premise no matter what, and in the end she is vindicated. The talismans were inside the outer Senshi all along and they didn't need to sacrifice their lives to bring them. Sailor Moon also succeeded in saving the world without killing Hotaru. In the Starlights season, everyone except Sailor Moon believes that it is necessary to kill Galaxia and Moon is the only one who has any faith that Galaxia can be restored to her old self.<br />
<br />
The series also goes against the messages of modern feminism in that it promotes traditional femininity and traditional female interests. Even the most Tomboyish Senshi, Makoto Kino (Sailor Jupiter) is shown to have feminine interests such as cooking, gardening and figure skating, admitting to Usagi she took up her hobbies to get by since her parents died when she was young and so she wouldn't be as intimidating, due to being the tallest girl in her class as well as rumors she got kicked out of her old school for fighting (these rumors weren't true, she simply moved to a new town). Usagi also desires to get married and have a family with her boyfriend Mamoru which they do in the future as evidenced by their daughter, Chibi-Usa. Although Mamoru is 4 years older than Usagi, he is a gentleman and doesn’t take advantage of her youth and inexperience. As Tuxedo Mask, he is very protective of Sailor Moon, and she is very appreciative of his protection (in contrast to a feminist who would refuse male help).<br />

|A show involving four geniuses who try to use their gifts to prevent global catastrophes as well as figure out how to live among normal society in their spare time that's loosely based on the life of Walter O'Brien. It promotes the concept of using one's innate skills for good, as well as improving oneself, with one episode in the series also mocking professor values as well as the current university system. The first season also has some negative views on government encroachment due to Walter being reluctant to allow Scorpion to be used by Homeland due to them using stuff against his intention. Also has some pro-family values, due to Paige, one of the members of Scorpion, trying to be a good mother for her genius son, and Walter doing whatever he can to save his terminally-ill sister during the first couple of seasons, as well as Sylvester, another member of Scorpion, proceeding to legally marry (albeit in a civil rather than religious manner) his sister to stop Walter from unnecessarily keeping her alive against his sister's wishes, and Toby and Happy also making every effort to welcome their baby into the world due to believing the latter to be pregnant. In addition, one recent episode has Scorpion pitching in to aid in allowing Toby, upon it being discovered that he has a rare genetic defect that prevents him from having viable sperm to allow him and Happy to have a baby, to undergo treatment to allow them to have a child, specifically stating that they wished to ensure future members of Scorpion were born, which likewise hinted at a pro-life message and supporting the unborn. In addition, some of the main villains have also been Communists and various terrorist groups. On the other hand, it also has at times engaged in some more liberal themes such as environmentalism as well as some denouncement of Capitalism in later seasons.<br />

|''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]''<br />
|1999-present<br />

|TV-Y / TV-Y7<br />
|One of the most influential cartoons of the 21st century, centered on an energetic, anthropomorphic sea sponge (who more nearly resembles a kitchen sponge) and a diverse cast of his underwater friends, is decidedly one of the most politically ambiguous. <br />
On the one hand, the series suggests that capitalists are inherently malign or simply obsessed with money, as the main character’s crustacean employer, the fast food restaurateur Mr. Krabs, is inclined to put money before others’ interests, sometimes at the expense of others’ well-being. In addition, SpongeBob and his dimwitted seastar best friend Patrick Star have a habit of annoying Squidward Tentacles, a grouchy octopus who lives between them, and tend to not face comeuppance for their childish actions (though there are exceptions), which may teach that being annoying is “acceptable” adult behavior. Specific episodes have controversial overtones, too. For instance, “Rock-a-Bye Bivalve” is infamous for depicting SpongeBob and his dimwitted seastar best friend Patrick Star raising a baby scallop like a homosexual couple. Moreover, one of the series’ worst-received episodes, “One Coarse Meal,” tries to make bullying look humorous because it centers on Mr. Krabs driving his microscopic arch business rival Plankton to suicide by appealing to the copepod’s secret fear of whales, a fear not present in any other episode. Worst of all, there is a theory that each of the seven main characters is modeled after one of the Seven Deadly Sins: <br />
Mr. Krabs is avarice for his love of money.<br />
Plankton is envy because he desires after that which Mr. Krabs has: a successful restaurant and the secret formula for Krabs’ signature sandwich, the Krabby Patty.<br />
Squidward is wrath due to his irritability.<br />
Sandy Cheeks the diving suit-clad squirrel is pride as she is immensely proud of her native Texas.<br />
Patrick is sloth since he is often seen dormant.<br />
Gary, SpongeBob’s pet sea snail, is gluttony because his character has little to do other than eat.<br />
SpongeBob is a strange variant on lust: though the character is said to be asexual, he seems to have “lust for life” because, depending on the writer(s), he can be too fixated on his job (or even on Squidward) at times.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, most episodes where SpongeBob works in his regular job as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab restaurant teach young audiences to take pride in hard work and persistence as SpongeBob strives to make the most out of his rather ordinary vocation. Most episodes where Plankton appears draw a clear distinction between good and evil, showing the errors of stealing and conducting business through illegitimate means as Plankton’s schemes to outcompete Mr. Krabs, the more competent businessman, or steal his Krabby Patty recipe backfire. Lastly, depending on the writer(s), Krabs can serve as a surrogate father-figure to SpongeBob, teaching him to stay out of danger and not to act so impulsively as he usually does. In addition, one episode advocates against gun control and showing the fallacy against the premise,<ref>http://rightwingnews.com/meme/spongebob-destroys-liberal-thoughts-big-government-gun-control-meme/</ref> and another episode promotes self-sufficiency and mocks the welfare state.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2013/11/04/spongebob-mocks-welfare-state/</ref><br />

|''Squirrel and Hedgehog''<br />
|1977 (North Korea)<br />
|YouTube (Outside North Korea)<br />
|NR<br />
|The cartoon was created by the North Koreans as unsubtle propaganda for their Communist ideology, and in particular promoting the Kim Dynasty, and also showcases a significant amount of bloodshed by the heroes. That being said, however, its style in trying to propagate Communist values also unintentionally ends up promoting American and Western values due to the main villains, several wolves and other carnivorous creatures, being depicted as extremely competent and imposing and wielding high-tech weaponry, as well as the "heroes", despite being shown as herbivorous animals, being shown as particularly violent, as well as being more effeminate and crying a lot of the time thus unintentionally exposing the real horrors of Communist ideology as well, with several of the viewers when it aired outside North Korea nearly forty years afterwards liking the villains more than the heroes and specifically citing how the villains were depicted as extremely competent as a reason.<br />

|''Stargate: SG-1''<br />
|1997-2007<br />
|Sci-fi<br />
|<br />
|A sequel series to the film ''Stargate'', most of its main villains were extraterrestrials who posed as various pagan gods (namely Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Babylonian), and Colonel O'Neill was implied to be religious a few times. It is also to be noted that the Christian God is noted to be exempted from the main villains. That being said, however, it does occasionally mix up the Middle Ages with the Dark Ages, and in later seasons it does make a few jabs at then-President George W. Bush.<br />

|''[[Supergirl (TV series)|Supergirl]]'' (first season only)<br />
|2015–2016<br />
|CBS (first season)<br />
|<br />
|The show had some liberal elements, such as promoting the feminist agenda to some extent, and also having a degree of forced multiculturalism (e.g., turning Jimmy Olsen into a black man when he was originally a red-headed Caucasian in the comics). However, it also has some conservative elements to the show, namely pro-family messages, as well as the character Cat Grant in one episode expressing some regret for the fact that, when she got pregnant out of wedlock, she chose her career over her child (it should be noted that this would have been against the feminist agenda, since adherents to feminism generally reject any indication that a woman can't be satisfied by anything besides a career, especially being satisfied with having children and/or holding any remorse for giving up their child in favor of their careers.). The same episode also had her trying to reconnect with her child, who by that time was an adult, with Kara Danvers suggesting she reconnect with him, giving the implication that she ultimately carried him to birth despite choosing her career over her child, acting as a subtle condemnation towards abortion and a promotion of the right to life. In addition, environmentalism is depicted in a more negative manner due to the main villains, surviving Kryptonian prisoners at Fort Rozz, being sentenced there due to engaging in environmental terrorism in an attempt to save Krypton, and Kara Zor-El's uncle, Non, being an unrepentant mass murderer. <br />
<br />
It also has a condemnation of terrorism as well as crime, as most of the first season's story arc dealt with locating and stopping various Fort Rozz escapees from causing any carnage on Earth, with most of the criminals being portrayed negatively, and even the sole Fort Rozz villain who does end up being portrayed sympathetically is made clear to have given up crime, subtly promoting the concept of redemption. The DEO also acts as a subtle allegory to ICE agents and border patrol and is portrayed as largely a force of good, which also hints at a promotion of national borders. The two-part season finale also dealt with the main villains' plan, Myriad, which involved mass mind-control which likewise had those affected by it making statements that eerily paralleled the statements made by liberal ideology.<ref>https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/culture/karen-townsend/2016/04/12/supergirl-shows-liberal-fantasy-where-mind-control-answer</ref> Note that this only applies with the first season of ''Supergirl'', as starting with the second season upon its move to the CW, it went hard-Left in its political and social views (see main entry on the series for more information).<br />
|-<br />
|SWAT Kats<br />
|1993-1994<br />
|TBS<br />
|<br />
|Chance Furlong and Jake Clawson are two former Enforcer (the show's name for the police) pilots who are wrongfully blamed for destroying Enforcer Headquarters when their boss, Commander Feral wants the glory of taking down the villain Dark Kat by himself and causes their plane to crash. As punishment, they are sentenced to work in a salvage yard to pay back the cost of the building. Using the military salvage in the junk yard, the build their own jet called the Turbokat and become the crime-fighting SWAT Kats, T-bone and Razor. The series de-values law enforcement by depicting the Enforcers as impotent against the city's many threats. The Enforcers' leader, Commander Ulysses Feral, is depicted as an egotistical glory-hog and hates the SWAT Kats for being able to accomplish what he can't. Sometimes the SWAT Kats even like to rudely rub it in his face. The series also promotes feminism by depicting Megakat City's male Mayor Manx as bumbling and incompetent while depicting the female Deputy Mayor Calico "Callie" Briggs as the one who truly runs the city (and also the SWAT Kats main ally, similar to Commissioner Gordon from Batman). The series also added a token female Enforcer, Commander Feral's niece Felina Feral in the second season, and depicting her as being more competent and reasonable than the other Enforcers.<br />
<br />
That being said, however, the series also promotes themes of justice, heroism, and voluntary charity (since the SWAT Kats don't get paid for their heroism) and condemns crime. In the second season, Commander Feral's negative aspects were toned down and the character was depicted positively more often. The series is also pro-family as it shows Commander Feral having genuine love for Felina as well as concern for her safety. Felina also respects her uncle, even though she doesn't always agree with him. In contrast to other elements which promote feminism, the episode "Cry Turmoil" paints feminism in a more negative light with the villainess Turmoil and her all-female soldiers and pilots, of whom she believes no male pilot can out-fly until they engage the SWAT Kats. After capturing the Turbokat, she attempts to seduce T-Bone into joining her and becoming her second-in-command, which he only pretends to go along with it so that he can sabotage her ship and give Razor time to meet up with him. The episode also contains a theme of resisting evil temptation since T-bone admits being attracted to her in his inner monologue, and even remarks that "the Enforcers haven't exactly been our biggest fans."<br />
|-<br />
|''The Twilight Zone'' <br />
|1959-1964 (original run)<br />
|CBS <br />
|<br />
|A recurring theme is that the selfish and the self-centered eventually lose what they sought to gain; hosted by Rod Serling. Examples of [[conservative]] episodes include: <br />
*"The Prime Mover" (episode 57, March 24, 1961)<ref>http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/features/exploring-the-twilight-zone-57-the-prime-mover.php</ref> <br />
*"The Obsolete Man" (episode 65, June 2, 1961) Sentenced to death by a totalitarian government that outlawed both books and religion, Burgess Meredith's character turns to his faith and his bible to console him<br />
*"The Mirror" (episode 71, October 20, 1961), a scathing criticism of Communism and the [[Fidel Castro]] regime in Cuba; starred a pre-''Columbo'' Peter Falk as Ramos Clemente, a Latin American Communist revolutionary-turned-dictator based on Castro. <br />
<br />
That being said, there are some examples of episodes that have some liberal and conservative messages being promoted at the same time: <br />
*"He's Alive" (episode 106, January 24, 1963), it depicts the Neo-Nazi movement and Hitler in a very negative light. Although that being said, it also falsely implies that Hitler is the most evil person to have ever existed in the world, being comparable to Satan, when in reality, there were people far more evil and brutal than Hitler such as [[Mao Zedong]] and [[Josef Stalin]], and various Communist dictators.<br />
|-<br />
|''You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown''<br />
|1972<br />
|CBS<br />
|<br />
|An animated ''Peanuts'' special that aired before the 1972 presidential elections. On the one hand, it does show the electoral process in a fairly positive manner, but on the other hand, it does feature some elements of liberal values such as forcing people to vote for a particular candidate (specifically, one scene had Lucy threatening people to vote for Linus), and was largely cynical in its outlook.<br />

|''13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi''<br />
|2016<br />
|R<br />
|One of Michael Bay's better films tells the true story of when [[Benghazi Attack|Islamic terrorists attacked a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012]] and the six Americans who took a stand without any support from the Obama-controlled White House or from then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (who not only refused to send any help and even ordered the military in the area to stand down, but later dismissively brushed off criticism of her actions with her infamous and callous "What difference at this point does it make?" comment). Not surprisingly, liberals viewed the film negatively and even made baseless accusations about the film's accuracy to distract from their dislike, but the film was a box office success and popular with the viewing public,<ref>https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/13_hours_the_secret_soldiers_of_benghazi</ref> which saw an insightful analysis at the events of the attack and the heroes who acted to defend the compound of their own accord.<br />

|''17 Again''<br />
|2009<br />
|PG-13<br />
|A 37-year-old father reverts to age 17 through a visit to a mysterious janitor and learns that choosing family, which he strives to support however he can, and life over death and possible material riches is much more rewarding and fulfilling even if it is not always apparent. The film stands up for [[abstinence]] and self-respect, and contains a strong speech for both of them, as in this quote: "Because there is no one that I'm in love with. It's called making love, isn't it? Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I think that means you do it with someone you love. And preferably when you're married, when you're ready to take that love and turn it into a baby." The concept of fatherhood is painted positively as well because he ultimately learns that he was reverted to age 17 so he could see things from his children's perspectives and help them resolve their problems.<br />

|This biopic tells the true story of initially easygoing and carefree outdoor adventurer Aron Ralston, who, in 2003, gained worldwide attention for becoming trapped in Blue John Canyon in Utah, a boulder trapping his right forearm against the canyon wall. As he reflects upon his life and expects to die, Aron realizes that he hasn't appreciated his family enough, and that he didn't treat his girlfriend as well as he should have. In the end, Aron summons the courage to do what was necessary to save his life: amputate his arm. As the real Aron would later say, he was reborn in the canyon, emerging with a much better appreciation for his family and never taking anything for granted again.<br />

|Based on the book of the same name by W. Bruce Cameron, the sequel to ''A Dog's Purpose'' continues Bailey's story as he vows to protect his owner Ethan's step-granddaughter, CJ. This heartwarming movie promotes bonds of family and condemns abuse, the latter shown with CJ's emotionally abusive mother, Gloria. Redemption is also portrayed positively: Gloria comes to genuinely regret mistreating CJ and reconciles with her, even willing to be kind to Bailey/Max (when she had previously hated dogs); the novel, however, has her being less repentant. The movie also teaches loyalty, as Bailey stays loyal to Ethan and CJ until Ethan's death.<br />

In addition, in recent years, liberals have criticized this movie under claims of it "attacking" the LGBT community, as the main villain is a gender-confused man who pretended to be a "woman". Ace literally freaks out when he realizes he really made out with a man, as does everyone else later when they find out the truth. Ace also calls him by his biological gender. <br />

|''The Avengers''<br />
|2012<br />
|PG<br />
|Widely considered to be the crowning achievement of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this game-changing superhero film brings together several superheroes, all of whom previously starred in related films adapted from Marvel Comics, as they join the Norse god Thor (who is less of a god and more of an alien in this universe, thus averting support for paganism) in stopping his evil brother Loki from conquering the world with an extraterrestrial mercenary army. Despite being the first Marvel feature released by the liberal conglomerate [[Walt Disney Company]] and being directed by liberal Joss Whedon, the film condemns totalitarian ideals, namely Loki's actions. A pivotal scene has Loki forcing innocent Germans to kneel before him, but an old man refuses to submit to "men like him", comparing Loki's actions to Hitler and Nazi Germany's actions. Arriving to confront Loki in the next instant, Steve Rogers/Captain America references Hitler and Johan Schmidt/Red Skull's attempt at taking the world via a similar ideology. Furthermore, the film condemns communism because the heroic assassin character Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, who works with the superheroes, implies that she regrets her time as a Soviet agent due to having to conduct various atrocities. Law enforcement is depicted positively, too, as they join the Avengers in their climactic battle to defend New York City when Loki's army invades. Finally, while the film doesn't seem to favor any religion or non-religion in particular, it paints Christians positively when Captain America, before pursuing a fight with Thor and Loki, tells Black Widow, "There's only one God, ma'am, and I'm pretty sure He doesn't dress like that!" in an obvious reference to the Biblical God. Given that a lot of planning went into ''The Avengers'' even before Disney's acquisition of Marvel went into full effect, it should come as no surprise that these conservative subtexts shine through.<br />

|''The Bad News Bears''<br />
|1976<br />
|PG<br />
|Centered on the classic American pastime of [[baseball]], this sports feature negatively depicts forced government intervention into baseball in the name of equality, as the reason the Bears baseball team existed in the first place was to put rejects into a baseball team after being legally forced to do so via a lawsuit.

|The first film in Christopher Nolan's ''Dark Knight'' trilogy retells comic book superhero Bruce Wayne/Batman's origin story in a manner that specifically denounces corruption and trying to kill out of revenge with themes of redemptive measures. When the main villain Ra's al Ghul reveals his intentions to destroy Gotham City, Batman tries to stop him since Gotham still ultimately has good elements in the community. Capitalism is depicted positively, too: in the backstory, Thomas Wayne, Bruce's late father, helped alleviate Gotham City from poverty via his wealth by building a public transportation system. Thomas' death inspired Gotham's wealthy individuals to follow his example, and Wayne Enterprises' Lucius Fox, who runs the company in Bruce's absence, proceeded to use the company's resources to synthesize a cure for the fear toxin.<br />

In the name of morality, this king, or "The Black Panther," seeks to destroy the villain and his plans to overthrow other races and governments worldwide. The Black Panther recognizes both the importance of helping those in need and the importance of not exceeding one's governmental authority. Though the film includes plenty of pagan religious references, it appeals in some ways to a general sense of Christian morality and governmental justice, and it never veers into political correctness about black supremacism. Liberals have attempted to adopt ''Black Panther'' as a liberal film because of its predominantly black racial cast while ignoring the conservative subtexts that clearly shine through.<br />

|As in ''[[1984]]'', over-arching government is unambiguously shown here to be both an evil and a danger to all humanity, exactly as [[Weber]] foresaw. Made half a decade before the fall of the Berlin Wall, this first film in ex-Python [[Terry Gilliam]]'s "dystopia triptych" - followed by Twelve Monkeys (1995) and The Zero Theorem (2013) - splendidly dresses its timely, [[Orwell]]ian premise in a [[Kafka]]-esque bureaucratic nightmare of spirit-crushingly dismal yet relentlessly authoritarian mediocrity; not since [[King Lear]] have the 'grey men' of history been so acutely exposed. The later films are difficult to assess by today's standards of conservatism, although Twelve Monkeys is admittedly an outstanding cinematic achievement even if [[Blade Runner]] screen-writer David People's co-written screenplay is politically harder to place; Zero Theorem's hero, Qohen Leth, is named after Qoheleth/Koheleth, anonymous author of the book of [[Ecclesiastes]], but the only quality Leth seems to share with his wise, jaded, cynically pragmatic namesake is other-worldliness.<br />

|Based upon the adventures of the patriotic superhero from Marvel Comics (and perhaps the company's most conservative superhero ever created), the frail, sickly U.S. Army recruit Steve Rogers is enhanced to the peak of human physicality by an experimental serum, then uses his newfound supersoldier abilities to combat Nazi terror in Europe while wearing a star-spangled uniform to avoid identification and carrying a throwable shield. Ultimately, he hunts down Nazi supersoldier Johan Schmidt/Red Skull, who was subject to an early, flawed version of Rogers' serum and has stolen the Tesseract, an energy source of unknown potential. Though Rogers succeeds, he is soon left with no choice but to crash Schmidt's aircraft into a glacier, leaving him frozen in suspended animation for decades until he wakes up in 2012 and readies for the events of the next film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, ''The Avengers''. Virtues shown include patriotism, perseverance, and the courage to confront evil dictators. It condemns globalist views in the climax of the film, as Schmidt, when taunting Rogers, says, "I've seen the future, Captain! There are no flags!", referring to Rogers' choice to fight for his nation rather than harness the power of gods. Rogers rejects his claim by shouting, "Not my future!" Capitalism is painted positively in the form of a young Howard Stark (father of fellow Marvel superhero Tony Stark/Iron Man), who is first seen holding an expo for possible future inventions, including a flying car. The film condemns infidelity and premarital relations as well: British intelligence agent Peggy Carter initially assumes that Rogers is cheating on her (she learns the girl he is first seen dating previously forced herself on him); and, when Howard says "fondue", he says he means a platonic dinner with Carter rather than innuendo for sex.<br />

A rift in the team forms because of a disagreement between its two co-leaders: Tony Stark/Iron Man is for this measure, while Steve Rogers/Captain America is against it. Rogers, who believes in self-governance and agrees with his allies (Bucky Barnes/the Winter Solider, Sam Wilson/Falcon, Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, Clint Barton/Hawkeye, and Scott Lang/Ant-Man) that it would be harmful to have the Avengers require government permission to fight a crime, never changes his stance on the issue.

|As the most frequently aired movie on television as of 1977, this film was based on the play "Everybody Comes to Rick's." The triumph in the film of fidelity over promiscuity is a strongly [[conservative]] theme, and this movie portrays [[marriage]], [[love]], and fighting for freedom in a compelling way. This film glorifies self-sacrifice for the greater good and promotes doing what's right even at an expense to oneself (Rick, as played by [[Humphrey Bogart]]). [[Vichy France]] and [[Nazi]]s are disparaged. The actors and actresses on the set of the filming conducted themselves admirably off-camera, in contrast with other films, and even played [[chess]] during breaks and in a filmed scene.<br />
<br>Minor quibbling about the film focuses on incidental dialogue which implied that Rick had aided and supported the cause of the [[Communist]]s during the [[Spanish Civil War]] (it should be noted that such dialogue was exclusive to the film and not present in the original play<ref>http://www.pages.drexel.edu/~ina22/splaylib/Screenplay-Everybody_Comes_to_Rick's.pdf (dead link, archived version [https://web.archive.org/web/20141224092710/http://www.pages.drexel.edu/~ina22/splaylib/Screenplay-Everybody_Comes_to_Rick's.pdf here])</ref>), and how Lazlo was an "international leader" of a resistance movement against the Nazis hinting at his being a Soviet plant.

|2017 (UK and Toronto)<br />2018 (America and France)<br />
|R<br />
|An adaptation of the French historical fiction graphic novel of the same name. Although largely a satirical [[black comedy]], the movie nonetheless accurately shows the horrific events of the Soviet Union under Stalin's totalitarian rule and the events after his death, as well as the innately cowardly and treacherous nature of the Soviet Politburo (see [[Atheism and cowardice]] as well as [[Atheism and Mass Murder]]). It also is one of the few films to [[Allusion|allude]] to the anti-Semitic [[Doctor's plot]] that Stalin had orchestrated prior to his death (which had ironically been precipitated due to the doctor's plot killing off all the best doctors in Moscow at the time), making clear that, contrary to what the left claims, the USSR and the left adhered to anti-Semitism. The director of the film, Armando Iannucci, admits that a large part of the reason he made the film was partly because of how Stalin was still revered in Russia to the extent that the Russian hotel he stayed at had a portrait of Stalin up, while pointing out that no one would dare do the same regarding Hitler in similar situations.<ref>https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/features/armando-iannucci-death-of-stalin-trumps-funeral-w517602</ref> As if reinforcing this, the movie also ended up banned in Russia at the order of [[Vladimir Putin]].<br />

However contrary to popular belief, the film does not glorify vigilantism, as the film acknowledges that if the vigilante isn't stopped it could lead to [[anarchy]] (pure [[Marxism]] is the complete absence of government).

The film emphasizes bravery, heroism, and honor while avoiding political correctness and showing the true nature of the radical Islamic political agenda (very rarely shown in today's films). Jews are portrayed sympathetically, as the terrorists' leader, Abdul Rafai, is viciously anti-Semitic. He demands that the Jewish hostages be separated from the others and forces a German Flight Attendant to read out their names. He insists that the Jews killed in the holocaust were "not enough." When the aforementioned Flight Attendant collects the hostages' passports, she notices a number tattooed on a Jewish hostage's arm, indicating that he's a Concentration Camp survivor and she gives him a look of sympathy. The film also depicts Israel in a positive light, as the Israelis assist the Americans by providing them with intel. Included two sequels one in 1990 and one in 1991. <br />

|Released at the dawn of what historians call the Conservative backlash (a direct response to 1960s radicalism), Clint Eastwood plays a tough, manly San Francisco police officer who doesn't let bureaucratic regulations stop him from doing what he knows is morally right. The film criticizes not only the then-recent Supreme Court decisions which granted new rights to criminals but also the traditional moral decay America experienced during the 1960s and 1970s. Four sequels followed suit: ''Magnum Force'' (1973), ''The Enforcer'' (1976), ''Sudden Impact'' (1983), and ''The Dead Pool'' (1988).<br />

They realize the importance of hard work as well as the responsibilities of being [[independent]] and the negative effects of drugs. It also sends an anti-regulated-economy message by showing the dangers of using and relying on other people's money; after the younger siblings steal money from their older sister's purse (which she stole from the company's petty cash), they realize it was wrong and selfish. In addition, the film includes brief anti-taxation themes, with Christina Applegate's character, Sue Ellen, frustrated that taxation took away so much of her money. In the end, the teenagers manage to clean themselves up and quit drinking alcohol, doing drugs, and smoking, and focus more on becoming successful [[Adult|adults]].<br />

|A delightful mockery of [[public school]], as a cool teen in Chicago plays hooky with his girlfriend, his best friend, and a vintage Ferrari restored by his best friend's unseen, car-obsessed father. The film shows how teenagers can have fun without drugs, alcohol, or tobacco. The main character is also faithful to his girlfriend, likely choosing abstinence. In a clear anti-socialist statement, Ferris says that "I'm not European, I don't plan on being European. So who gives a crap if they're socialists? They could be fascist anarchists, but it still doesn't change the fact that I don't own a car. Not that I condone fascism." Since the movie mocks the liberal public education system, Ferris even directly states that he is not socialist and will never be such. Furthermore, the character arc experienced by Ferris' best friend Cameron Fry promotes family unity because he confronts his father for neglecting his wife and son due to his father's obsession with restoring a car. [[Conservative]] commentator, economist, and comedian [[Ben Stein]] appears as one of Ferris's teachers.<br />

One of the characters rants against consumerism which has led liberals to believe it is anti-capitalist moral, but don't be fooled. In reality, it's pro-self-governance and anti-consumerism moral. We can't fill our happiness with buying things. It's pro-masculinity and warns society of the dangers of trying to suppress masculinity and promotes assertiveness and strength in men's minds and bodies. <br />
The story is about a nameless first-person character (Edward Norton) who is stuck in an unwanted job and life, who attends support groups to deal with his insomnia and depressed emotional state.

When David goes back in time at the end of the film, he learns to have more appreciation for his family, including Jeff. The film also depicts government bureaucrats in a negative light, as NASA treats the UFO and David as mere science experiments and is unsympathetic to David's situation. The agents take David away from his family and lock him in an isolated room. David's father becomes enraged when he finds out how NASA has been treating David. The agents later place the whole family under House Arrest.

A major theme of redemption applies to Fred, the young orphan Samuel "Slam" Gibbons, and the evil efficiency expert Clyde Archibald Northcutt, all of whom learn from their mistakes. The elves depict traditional gender roles: the men make baseball bats for the boys, the women make hula hoops for the girls, etc. The film positively establishes the American popular-culture icon Superman (he's only mentioned, but toy Supermans are shown, and Clyde Northcutt wears a Superman cape once reformed), and it features mild politically incorrect humor.<br />

|1984<br />
|PG<br />
|Three parapsychologists (later joined by a fourth teammate, who serves as their voice of reason) lose their jobs at Columbia University after failing to deal with a ghost plaguing the New York Public Library, so they develop ghost-weakening "proton packs" and go into business ridding New York City of poltergeists. The film fittingly satirizes an unfair (and likely liberal) professor, senseless academic research, paganism, and a villainous EPA regulator. One conservative sample line by Ghostbuster Raymond "Ray" Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) when asked to shift from the public to the [[private sector]] reads, "I don’t know about that. I’ve worked in the private sector. They expect results!" A sequel, ''Ghostbusters 2'', followed in 1989, though some debate whether it qualifies as great since it revisits many of the same plot points from the first movie. The original film was remade in 2016 as a liberal, revisionist, pro-feminist piece (with the four main characters all female), which bombed at the box office and had a trailer almost universally panned on YouTube. A second sequel, ''Ghostbusters: Afterlife'', was released in 2021, ignoring the 2016 remake and starring Egon Spengler's grandchildren.<br />

|The tale of an enslaved former Roman general, Maximus (played by Russell Crowe), who becomes a gladiator and brings down a corrupt Emperor (played by Joaquin Phoenix), features some of the most exciting action sequences ever filmed, backed by Hans Zimmer’s soaring soundtrack. In essence, this movie is about confronting evil and destroying it. There is not an ounce of appeasement or the whiff of "engagement" in Maximus’s blood, only the desire to avenge the murder of his family and see justice carried out. It is the sort of uncompromising movie experience guaranteed to send pacifists and lily-livered liberals running for the exits.

|A brave young Christian man stands up to his [[atheist]] bully of a professor (played by real-life conservative Christian ([[Kevin Sorbo]]) and demonstrates the strength and wholesomeness of Christianity while exposing the folly of [[professor values]]. Furthermore, it illustrates atheists as people who acknowledge that there is a God but refuse to have faith in Him for [[Causes of atheism|any number of reasons]]—in this case, self-hatred and spite; and it features conservative celebrity cameos such as Willie and Korie Robertson (of ''[[Duck Dynasty]]'' fame), plus the Christian rock band The Newsboys. Liberals were shocked when it stood strong at the box office, being in the top 5 in its opening weekend. Of course, all the world's atheists were furious because they felt unfairly portrayed (while hypocritically not having a problem with atheist movies portraying Christians in a negative way), which only proves the film's thesis that atheists are more animalistic and less rational than Christians.

After indulging in hedonism, repeatedly failing to seduce his attractive new producer Rita, sinking into depression, and exhausting every way to commit suicide, he begins reexamining his life and priorities. He then uses his memory of the day's events, along with the stories of various townspeople, to improve himself and help as many people in need as he can within a 24-hour limit, which ultimately allows him to win over Rita and break free from the loop. Overall, this whimsical comedy is outstandingly conservative and Christian because it gives no explanation for the loop other than God's will, especially since it gives Phil a chance at redemption for his past immoral behavior.<br />

His father, likewise It also deals with redemption as well, as after Tony Stark made a very big mess of himself, he worked hard to redeem himself for his past behavior, ultimately succeeding in the ending. It also promotes the concept of honoring thy father and family values, as Tony noted that his father, Howard Stark, has been distant with him, although a later film reel, which also proved instrumental to saving his life, revealed that Howard Stark, while distant, nonetheless genuinely loved his son and even gave him words of encouragement from beyond the grave. Howard was also depicted in a manner similar to famed animator and capitalist [[Walt Disney]]. It also depicts feminism in a negative light: Pepper Potts ran Stark Enterprises only out of anger at Tony Stark's bad behavior in the film, not because she wanted to. It also condemns nihilism, as Tony Stark behaved badly because he was dying and figured he might as well act irresponsibly in his last days. Also like the past film, it depicted terrorism (in particular communist-based terrorism) and treason in a very negative light, as Armand Hammer, in clear envy towards Tony Stark, proceeded to break out and hire an infamous Russian terrorist, Ivan Vanko, who held a grudge against Tony Stark due to his father, Howard Stark, sending his father Anton Vanko back to the USSR under suspicions that he was a Communist plant, with the terrorist later proceeding to have Hammer's Iron Man knockoff suits automatically attack everyone, with Hammer being arrested. It also condemns government intervention in business, as Iron Man is extremely reluctant to sell his Iron Man suit to the government.<br />

Based on the novel by Rudyard Kipling of the same name, this film shows the importance of friendship and family values, and even frowns upon misanthropy (especially concerning Shere Khan's fiery hatred for humans); the latter shows that the scars he had gotten from humans were his own fault, attacking and killing Mowgli's father before the man drives the tiger off with a burning torch, his last action saving his son. The movie also encourages using one's talents for good: Baloo (at first selfishly) encourages Mowgli to craft human tools to collect honey for him, and spending time with Mowgli helps Baloo genuinely see him as a friend; Mowgli later uses these talents to defeat Shere Khan. The wolves and Bagheera initially discourage Mowgli from doing this so he can be more like a wolf, though Bagheera changes his mind after seeing Mowgli rescue an elephant calf with these "tricks" and later encourages him to fight Shere Khan "like a man".<br />

|This historical drama details the rise of England's King George VI and his striving to overcome his speech impediment in the prelude to World War II after being forced to become king due to his older brother abdicating the throne. It showcases the Nazis in a negative light and condemns the current liberal education system, as speech therapist Lionel Logue is initially fired since he does not actually have a degree in speech therapy, with him making clear in a poignant moment that he knows how to do it via first-hand experience. According to history, Logue didn't have a degree because he had to rely on first-hand experience to do so and because there was no formal education for that matter when he learned his trade. The film shocked the liberals at Hollywood when it managed to perform beyond their expectations and won the Academy Award for Best Picture of 2010, plus the awards for Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Original Screenplay.<br />

In addition, the opening scene has Kay and his partner stopping attempted illegal immigrants from crossing into the country and was implied to be working alongside the ICE and border patrol to prevent illegal immigrants into the country while trying to prevent a literal illegal alien, Mikey, from entering the country illegally, with the alien being depicted in a negative light due to him trying to kill an ICE agent before being atomized by Kay. Also condemns terrorism, as the main villain, Edgar the Bug, arrived on Earth to personally assassinate two extraterrestrial diplomats of two warring civilizations specifically to engineer a war with Earth and thus allow his kind to feast on any killed in battle. There's also a subtle mocking of the liberal news rag ''New York Times'', where one of the characters, Kay, when explaining to Jay that he was searching via tabloid articles, suggested he could use the ''New York Times'' as searching for information as "they sometimes get it right", implying that the ''New York Times'' was less reliable than tabloid articles.<br />

|N/A<br />
|As implied by the title, it covers Welsh Journalist Gareth Jones' attempts at exposing the true horrific nature of the Soviet Union under Stalin, including Holodomor. The film is explicitly anti-Communist, as the Soviets are made clear fairly early on to have silenced people, including reporter Paul Kleb, by killing them, as well as revealing Holodomor. It also pulls no punches and makes clear that the ''[[New York Times]]'', and more specifically its head [[Walter Duranty]], was fully complicit in hiding Stalin's crimes and depicted them in a very negative light, and also highlights the full corruption of the leftist media, as Duranty utilized drugs and sex at private parties to buy his fellow journalists' silence. It also is pointedly made relevant with the current day due to the [[cancel culture]] that is prevalent on social media.<ref>https://pjmedia.com/culture/bryan-preston/2020/06/23/mr-jones-movie-depicts-when-the-new-york-times-helped-stalin-cancel-10-million-n568265</ref><br />

|The movie's main protagonist, Keller Dover, is a deeply devout Christian man, who says the Lord's Prayer on several occasions. The movie also depicts the importance of family in a very positive light, with Keller vowing to protect and love those closest to him at all costs. However, when his daughter and best friend are kidnapped, Keller takes matters into his own hands by kidnapping, imprisoning, and torturing the man whom he believes is responsible, even though it becomes apparent that he could not have done it. This is a clear transformation from holy man to sinner, as is symbolized at one point by the filmmakers intentionally changing Keller's daughter's best friend's rat from white to black. This makes it clear that the movie is self-aware that its main protagonist is no longer a good Christian man. Furthermore, this is could be a symbolization of Jesus Christ's crucifixion, as the man being tortured is innocent, and suffering for the crimes of the real kidnapper, his aunt. <br />

|At an airborne high school for tomorrow's superheroes, student Will Stronghold is the son of two costumed vigilantes who, while he does not appear to have superpowers at first, develop them over time, hinting at the idea of social advancement, which is the basis for the [[American Dream]]. The main lesson he learns is knowing how to use one's abilities to one's advantage and achieve a greater goal. A catchphrase in the film is: "Just because you have powers, that doesn't make you a hero," which can be related to the expression, "Guns don't kill people; people kill people." On a similar note, similar to ''The Incredibles'', the line also condemns forced diversity promotion messages such as "everyone can be a hero".<br />
Furthermore, the film promotes the idea that anyone can be a hero, as Will and his "sidekick" friends with seemingly unimpressive superhuman abilities eventually rise above their assigned statuses and save the school. Also, Gwen Grayson/Royal Pain, the feminist main villain, seeks to turn all the superheroes into babies, then raise them up to be evil and loyal to her (perhaps an effort to play God). In addition, Will's best friend Layla Williams, who can control plant life and ultimately becomes his girlfriend, is shown to contain many liberal beliefs, especially pacifism, but she gives up her pacifism to fight back and help defeat Royal Pain and her cronies.<br />

It is very pro-family, as it depicts Johnny's family as very caring and protective towards him, especially when they attempt to keep Uncle Remus from seeing him or telling him stories, and when they care for him after he is mauled by the bull. Johnny's parents tell him not to go into the Bull Patch, teaching children to obey their parents. Johnny is also disciplined for outsmarting the Favors children, showing a clear anti-lying message. Johnny's family are conservative Christians, as evidenced by their references to "The Good Lord" and their dressing Johnny up in a fancy Sunday outfit. The scene where Johnny is mocked for wearing a lace collar and called "a girlie" encourages children to dress according to their birth assigned gender, as not doing so could result in unhappiness. Johnny comforts Ginny when she cries, teaching young boys the concept of chivalry. Finally, Br'er Rabbit learns that he can't run away from his troubles, teaching children the concept of personal responsibility.<br />

Moreover, in a dream sequence villain Harley Quinn shows her deepest desires which is being a housewife (points for having the guts for showing a female character not wanting to be part of the feminist agenda, especially in this day and age, even if it not surprisingly infuriated liberal critics<ref>http://www.avclub.com/article/margot-robbie-deserves-better-suicide-squads-sexis-240618</ref>).

|Based upon the Marvel Comics superhero, the fourth installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe does not attempt to convert its audience to paganism regardless of what the title implies. Instead, the titular Norse god of thunder, who is alternately thought of as a god and as an alien in this universe, learns the consequences of dishonoring his father Odin and betraying his family: after his reckless actions reignite an ancient war between the people of the kingdom of Asgard, the home of Thor’s family, and a race of frost giants, Thor is stripped of powers, banished to earth, and forced to live among humans. He then remembers the importance of honoring his father and sacrifice for a greater good when his wicked trickster brother Loki, who seeks to claim the throne of Asgard for himself, sends after him the Destroyer, a ferocious automaton. Thor’s willingness to lay down his life so his friends can kill the Destroyer proves him worthy to regain his powers, defeat the automaton, and return to Asgard to overthrow Loki, who faces his own consequences for betraying the family (namely, being dropped into the vacuum of space, only to turn up alive after the credits, setting up the plot for another great conservative Marvel film, ''The Avengers'').<br />

|Showing the importance of having character. Willy Wonka gives each of the kids on tour an Everlasting Gobstopper, which is a potential goldmine, given that a rival spy had earlier offered each of the kids money in exchange for handing over this new invention. Also, every single kid, except Charlie, misbehaves in such a way that injures or deforms them in some way. The film also promotes capitalism, with Wonka being such a successful business leader in the world of candy. In addition, this film is surely to annoy liberals, who want to ban chocolate candy and sweets.<ref>http://www.toberight.com/2012/02/liberals-banning-sweets-on-valentines-day/</ref><br />
<br />
The hidden message in this film is one of redemption. It is hidden because it is conveyed through the imagery of the film's final scene. Charlie has made it to the end of his journey. Despite having the urge, and a clean opportunity, to sell Wonka out to his rival, Charlie ends up giving the Everlasting Gobstopper back to Wonka. For this act of integrity, he is rewarded beyond his wildest expectations—he is given ownership of the factory. Incidentally, while he is riding in the Wonkavator, it crashes through the ceiling up into the sky. The [[allusion]] to [[Heaven]] and [[salvation]] is unmistakable.<br />

|''[[All Dogs Go To Heaven]]''<br />
|1989<br />
|G<br />
|The film's protagonist, a talking dog named Charlie B. Barkin (Voiced by Burt Reynolds), is a gambler and a swindler. After being murdered by his former partner, Carface, he comes back to life by winding his "life watch" and plans to get revenge on Carface. He "rescues" a girl named Anne-Marie (voiced by the late Judith Barsi) from Carface and exploits her ability to talk to animals in order to win at gambling. As the film progresses, Charlie is increasingly influenced by Anne-Marie's kindness and love. In the end, he must choose between saving Anne-Marie's life and protecting his "life watch" (he will die if it ever stops), and he chooses the former.<br />
<br />
The film depicts Christianity in a positive light. In addition to showing both Heaven and Hell, Anne-Marie is also shown praying before she goes to bed, thanking God for Charlie's "rescue" (which, even though he had his own selfish purposes, did get her away from Carface's abuse). The movie is also pro-[[redemption]], as Charlie, who was doomed to go to Hell when he dies for winding his "life watch," is awarded [[Heaven]] for sacrificing his life for Anne-Marie.<br />
<br />
The film is also pro-family. Anne-Marie is introduced as an orphan seeking new parents. During the movie, she meets a compassionate couple named Kate and Harold, who eventually adopt her.<br />
<br />
A sequel was released in 1996, along with a TV series and a made-for-TV Christmas movie.<br />

|G<br />
|A movie dealing with immigration, the movie is pro-family because Fieval, the main character, is separated from his family by a storm, and he and his family go out of their way to find each other. Also has a subtle condemnation of machine politics ([[Tammany Hall]], in this case) and voter fraud due to one of the characters, "Honest" John, the implied mouse mayor of New York City, declaring a then-recently deceased mouse (who was implied to have died before he was old enough to vote) to be able to "vote from now on" before adding the mouse's name to a book (a clear allusion to ghost voters), with the mouse not being painted in a particularly good light. The movie also promotes legal immigration and a theme of redemption, as one of the antagonists, an orange tabby cat named Tiger, is ultimately befriended by Fievel and becomes an ally to the mice.<br />

|2016<br />
|PG<br />
|Based on the video game app of the same name, the film has its moments of rude humor but surprisingly has a strong Anti-Illegal Immigration message with the pigs practically representing Islamic migrants (the villain, King Mudbeard, even looks like a Middle Eastern man). The pigs trick the birds into accepting them to live on their island, and once they have their respect, steal their eggs and blow up their island (part of the collateral damage is a statue of a [[bald eagle]] no less). Red, the only bird who was suspicious of them from the beginning, is first demonized by the community because of this, but later forgiven after he is proven right and decides to fight back and rescue their eggs from the pigs.<br />

|Animated film adaptation of the conservative text of the same name from George Orwell. Just like in the novel, it uses animals as a pretext for leveling harsh criticism against Communism and against Josef Stalin. Unlike in the book, which heavily implies that the pigs ultimately succeed in taking power, with the animals being left unable to do anything against them, the film ends with the animals doing a successful revolt against the pigs, although the ending leaves it ambiguous as to whether the animals will learn their lesson about communism from the experience. It was also made in part by the [[CIA]].<br />

She then meets Thomas O’Malley, a chivalrous stray tomcat who will eventually become Duchess’s mate and the stepfather to her kittens.

Flik is a model of individualism and a strong work ethic, who believes in bettering himself and his colony through his impressive harvesting inventions. To some extent, the film pokes fun at the homosexual agenda, in particular transvestitism: the male ladybug Francis is frequently mistaken for a woman because of his species' name, and he routinely corrects other characters about this confusion, at one point even launching into a tirade with several flies before having to be restrained.<br />

|A clan of lemurs living on a tropical island finds an egg and raises a baby dinosaur from that egg: an ''Iguanodon'' named Aladar. When their island home is destroyed by a meteor shower years later, Aladar and four remaining lemurs join a herd of migrating dinosaurs on their way to their nesting grounds, all while predators lurk behind them. The movie portrays family - both by blood and adoption - very well, shown when the lemurs adopt and raise Aladar while he protects them in return. Even Kron - the herd's stubborn leader - and his sister Neera share a bond; Kron never acts harshly towards Neera, and Neera tries (but unfortunately fails) to save Kron from a ''Carnotaurus''. Aladar is also shown to be against [[Social Darwinism]], opposing Kron's strict belief that the old and weak should be left behind and helping the oldest dinosaurs in the herd keep up; his beliefs are also what get Neera to like him, after watching him help Eema the elderly ''Styracosaurus'' and two orphaned ''Iguanodons'' get some water. A novelization of the movie also has Aladar and Kron's ideals combine into "Standing together makes everyone strong." Redemption is also positively shown when Bruton, second-in-command to Kron, sacrifices himself to save the stragglers of the herd by bringing the cave down onto himself and a ''Carnotaurus''.<br />

|Like the animated special and live-action film before it, the film retains the anti-nihilism and redemptive themes in the movie. The anti-materialism message is also further reinforced as the Grinch's chance encounter with Cindy Lou Who has him learning that she didn't even intend to ask for presents, but rather to ease her mom's burden due to doing so many things for so many people, which ultimately acted as the catalyst for his redemption. It also has a promotion of family values, since, as noted above, Cindy Lou Who expressed concern for her mom barely spending time being a mom and burning the wick at both ends, and a primary part of the Grinch's hatred for the holiday dealt with his time as an orphan, with it being heavily implied that he was alone even in the orphanage. Due to several scenes in the film featuring Christmas carols, it is also one of the few movies to explicitly note that Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.<br />

Also has an anti-eminent domain lesson, with Kuzco realizing it would be wrong of him to steal the land from the villagers. The villain is also a feminist, with it being heavily implied that her methods of raising Kuzco are the primary reason why he turned out to be a spoiled brat. Is also a rare example of a comedy film churned out of Hollywood that actually uses witty humor rather than low-hanging-fruit jokes. It also has a humorous condemnation of homosexuality, as when Kuzco is knocked unconscious from the rapids, Pacha attempted to perform CPR only for Kuzco to regain consciousness just as Pacha was about to start CPR, causing both to recoil in disgust from the near-kiss, as well as Kuzco explicitly making clear that such was disgusting. Although the ending was slightly altered after songwriter Sting, an environmentalist, took offense at the implication that Kuzco built his summer retreat in the Jungle and then cleared it away, it nonetheless retained hints that Kuzco was ultimately a changed man from the experience.<br />

|Benio Hanamura lost her mother when she was very young and has been raised by her father, a high-ranking official in the Japanese army. As a result, she has grown into a tomboy - contrary to traditional Japanese notions of femininity, she studies kendo, drinks sake, dresses in often ridiculous Western fashions instead of the traditional kimono, and isn't as interested in housework as she is in literature. She also rejects the idea of arranged marriages and believes in a woman's right to a career and to marry for love. Benio's best friends are the beautiful Tamaki, who is much more feminine than Benio but equally interested in women's rights, and Ranmaru, a young man who was raised to play female roles in the kabuki theater and as a result has acquired very effeminate mannerisms. One day, Benio has a series of embarrassing encounters with the handsome army lieutenant Shinobu Ijuin, only to receive a shock when her father tells her that Shinobu is to be her husband, due to a pact made between the Hanamura and Ijuin families before Benio's birth. At first Benio tries to fight against her father's wishes, attempting to elope with her friend Ranmaru and eventually deliberately erring in her wifely duties in every way imaginable, hoping the families will cancel the engagement. However, her scheme fails - Shinobu genuinely loves Benio and patiently forgives her for her many blunders, and Benio soon realizes that in spite of herself, she is also falling in love with him. However, a major in the army who holds a grudge against Shinobu then sends the young lieutenant to fight in Manchuria. At the end of the film, Benio stays on in the Ijuin home to care for Shinobu's grandparents and wait for his return. cutting her waist-length hair short and decides to get a job to help out with the family's dire financial situation. A sequel was released in the autumn of 2018.<br />

It pokes fun at the public school system, too: in an early scene, Principal Mazur overreacts, making Max's actions seem even worse than they are, telling Goofy that Max could face capital punishment if he fails to turn his son into a model student.

|PG<br />
|In prehistoric times, a woolly mammoth, a giant ground sloth, and a ''Smilodon'' (i.e., saber-toothed cat) work together to return a nomadic human chief's infant son to his tribe. Better than any of its four increasingly poorly-made sequels, this film promotes friendship and family values, especially on the part of Diego the ''Smilodon'', who learns that revenge does not solve anything: he first wants to eat the infant as payback for losing half of his pack to human hunters but grows to like the child and appreciate the innocence he represents. Manny also undergoes similar development, originally not being fond of the infant and overall being cynical and unpleasant for reasons later revealed by a cave painting to be due to his own mate and child having been slaughtered by a tribe of humans, but then ultimately forms a bit of a bond with him for similar reasons to why Diego grew to like the child. There are a couple of characters named Carl and Frank who are heavily implied to be homosexual, although they were depicted in a very negative light, having a murderous hatred of Sid for very trivial reasons (namely, the fact that Sid accidentally ruined their salad due to trying to wipe off poop he stepped on by accident as well as obliviously eating a dandelion, with Manny having some disgust for them when learning they wanted to kill Sid for pleasure, and later after Sid called them "ladies" upon reaching the wrong spa, and only failed to kill him that time due to Sid and Diego tricking them into believing the latter killed him.).<br />

|PG<br />
|The world's superheroes are forced to give up their heroics and go into hiding after Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible saves a suicidal man as well as a derailed train from a bridge destroyed by one of his enemies (who ironically gets away with it). The populace misguidedly turns on superheroes and turn to unscrupulous lawyers to sue them, despite the real damage being caused by the supervillains. <br />
<br />
The film celebrates the importance of the family unit: Helen Parr/Elastigirl struggles with parenting when Bob neglects to help her raise their children. A traditional family of superheroes is portrayed as the saviors of society, whose importance and presence have been unfairly suppressed thanks to the liberal-dominated mainstream media and its preference to see the worst in people. In addition, Mr. Incredible is shown from the start to take his marriage to Helen seriously, immediately heading over to his wedding when he realizes he may be running late and doing various crime-stopping when he has time beforehand.<br />
<br />
The movie also contains the conservative idea that recognition should be based on merit rather than on unsubstantiated expectations of equality. Out of sheer jealousy, the villainous Syndrome, formerly Mr. Incredible's biggest fan, attempts to kill off real superheroes so he can use technology to pretend to be one, later planning to sell his gadgets so everyone in the world can have superpowers. "And when everyone is super," he explains, "no one will be." Earlier in the film, when explaining that he pulled a prank on the school teacher simply to demonstrate his super-speed, Dash echoes what Syndrome says later on: Helen states that everyone was special in their own way, which is simply another way of saying no one was truly special. When Mr. Incredible is asked to attend his son's fifth-grade graduation, he criticizes society for "celebrating mediocrity" instead of those who are "genuinely exceptional." <br />
<br />
At Bob Parr's civilian job, employer Gilbert Huph is shown to be heartless but not because of capitalism: when Bob asks if he should help his customers, Gilbert tells him, "The law requires that I answer no", which shows the negativity of government regulation in business.<br />
<br />
Overall, the film teaches against government-enforced mediocrity. This film may be the most conservative animation film ever made; in fact, it is ranked Number 2 by National Review for the most conservative movies within the last 25 years. <ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20150122222200/https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/177317/2-best-conservative-movies-last-25-years/frederica-mathewes-greene</ref> A sequel was released in 2018.<br />

|Set in the fictional Japanese city Megasaki, Mayor Kobayashi issues a decree that all of the city's dogs - whether they're pets or strays - are to be quarantined and taken to Trash Island until a cure for "dog flu" comes around. The mayor's nephew and ward, Atari, flies to the island to find his dog, Spots, and is befriended by five dogs (Chief, Rex, King, Boss, and Duke), who all help him on his journey. Along the way, they discover that the mayor has hidden sinister motives behind banning all dogs from Megasaki. Wes Anderson's second animated film condemns totalitarian rule, with Mayor Kobayashi placing a scientist under house arrest when said man finds a cure for dog flu; he later arranges for the death of the scientist using poisoned wasabi on sushi so that his plan to exterminate the dogs goes uninterrupted. Adding to that, the movie condemns animal cruelty, as shown in the case of Kobayashi's anti-dog propaganda and Gondo's "cannibal" pack, who have been subjected to scientific experiments until an "act of God" rescued them; the cannibalism even happened only once when Gondo and his pack ate their leader to survive the harsh island life, a task that none of them are proud of doing. It also shows family and redemption in a positive light, for Mayor Kobayashi has taken Atari in after his parents were killed and abandons his anti-dog plans once he sees how much Atari has gone through, even donating a kidney once the boy's remaining kidney fails.<br />

|In this beloved Disney classic, which was known as Walt Disney’s Happiest Motion Picture, Lady, a cocker spaniel, meets and falls in love with a male stray mongrel known as the Tramp. Aside from the film being pro-family, the dogs do whatever they can to protect the human baby from the rat, showing [[chivalry]]. In addition, Lady confronts Tramp for fooling around with other girlfriends, after finding out from the pound dogs that his only weakness is that he is a womanizer, thus showing infidelity and promiscuity in a very negative light. In the end, he becomes faithful to her and joins her human family. There are also anti-environmentalist aspects as well, with the dogs learning to understand their place, that although humans come first, they still have a place in their heart, as the beliefs Tramp had on humans being so cruel turned out to be false. Also, the iconic Bella Notte scene where they accidentally kiss while eating the same spaghetti took place and was served by the kind-hearted capitalist restaurant owner, Tony. On top of that, it's rare in Disney Animation to depict Christmas in a film and show it in a positive light.<br />

Stitch then gradually abandons his destructive ways and begins seeking love and friendship. The film is so delightfully pro-family that the tagline is, "''Ohana'' means family [in Hawaiian]. Family means nobody gets left behind, or forgotten." The movie also briefly pokes fun at environmentalist policies, as the climax reveals that Earth was nearly subject to an alien invasion in 1973, but the CIA Agent-turned child welfare services agent Cobra Bubbles managed to thwart it by claiming that the Earth was designated a breeding ground for an endangered species called [[mosquito]]es (which obviously weren't endangered at all).<br />

|''[[The Lion King]]''<br />
|1994<br />
|G<br />
|Based mainly on the Shakespearean play ''Hamlet'', this box-office smash hit's main message is about individual power and the triumph of faith, friendship, hope, and heroism. ''The Lion King'' also features subtle Christian messages, such as honoring one's father and the theme of reconciliation. <br />
<br />
Its story takes partial inspiration from Scripture, particularly the stories of [[Joseph]] and [[Moses]]. On a side note, the film features the power-hungry main antagonist Scar, who kills his own brother, the ruling king Mufasa, to usurp the throne, then manipulates his nephew, Mufasa's young son Simba, into believing he is responsible for his father's death and forces him into exile. Scar is a model liberal because, once he becomes ruler, he favors [[Communism|Communistic]]/[[Fascism|fascistic]] big government, pushes [[liberal values]], and lets the Pride Lands fall into ruin. In addition, when rallying up the Hyenas to aid him in killing Mufasa, he vows that they will never starve under his rule, mirroring what various Communist and other leftist insurgents often vow when trying to get people to aid them in taking over a government. The song "Be Prepared" also shows the Hyenas [[goose step|goose stepping]] past Scar as he looks down from a cliff in a clear reference to Nazism. On a similar note, the Hyenas also act as a subtle condemnation against illegal immigration and the concept of open borders, as once the Hyenas merge with the Pride Lands and take it over upon Scar becoming king, it is heavily implied that they forced the Lionesses to overhunt and that ended up causing the Pride Lands territory to become a wasteland by driving out any remaining animals, with Scar indicating that they should "eat Zazu" if they want food.<br />
<br />
At several points in the film, Scar delusively believes he is still a very good king, even claiming "I'm ten times the king Mufasa was!", which is similar to liberal delusions of their own skills in governing (i.e., Obama's later claim that he would have "won" reelection into a third term if he was able to run again, despite never being legally qualified to run in the first place, not to mention his being legally barred from running for a third term even if he were legally qualified to run in the first place per the [[Twenty-Second Amendment]] to the United States Constitution). He unsuccessfully attempts to orchestrate the assassination of Simba by using hyena minions and even attempts to kill him himself, to ensure that he will be king and remain so forevermore, but he is thwarted by Simba once the cub reaches adulthood. Simba effectively becomes King and restores the Pride Lands after Scar, who tries to save his own skin by blaming his minions for everything he orchestrated himself, has the hyenas turn against and kill him. <br />
<br />
There is a slight condemnation of anarchy in the film as well: during the song "Be Prepared", the hyena Shenzi, upon learning that Scar is planning to kill Mufasa and Simba, entertains the possibility of a kingless society before Scar sternly tells the laughing hyenas that he intends to be the king. Finally, the film condemns hedonism through the misfit meerkat and warthog comic reliefs, Timon and Pumbaa, who, while depicted as genuinely heroic at times, espouse a philosophy of "Hakuna Matata" ("No Worries" in Swahili), which is ultimately shown to be negative.<br />
<br />
In addition, the film proved to be a massive runaway hit despite having a completely new production team working on it due to then-Disney Chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg believing it to end up a flop due to it featuring "talking animals" while he thought the Worst Liberal Movie ''Pocahontas'', which he helmed with the usual production team, would be the financial hit and Oscar winner (in reality, ''Pocahontas'' got mixed reviews and did fairly badly at the box office).<br />
<br />
The movie spawned two direct-to-video sequels and two TV series, as well as a Broadway musical that retained many of the same themes. A photorealistic remake was released in July 2019, directed by Jon Favreau, following his success with the 2016 remake of ''The Jungle Book''.<br />

When the fur-obsessed Cruella De Vil and her henchmen steal the puppies, the Dalmatians cross the English countryside to get them back. The movie portrays the importance of family positively through Pongo and Perdita, who stop at nothing to rescue their puppies; they also adopt the other eighty-four puppies Cruella had bought to turn into fur coats, which shows family by adoption in a positive light. Marriage is also portrayed positively through a Christian wedding ceremony for the dogs' owners and the dogs themselves. It also positively portrays heroism through several animals (including Sergeant Tibbs the cat, Colonel the sheepdog, and Captain the horse) who assist the Dalmatians in finding their puppies and getting them all home.

Kindhearted craftsman Geppetto wishes for his own son, so a blue fairy (resembling the Blessed Virgin Mary) grants his wish and brings one of his wooden puppets to life, promising that she will make him a real boy if he proves himself brave, truthful, and unselfish. As he tries to fit in with humans, the wooden boy is soon tricked and kidnapped by the evil puppet master Stromboli. Over the course of his journey of self-discovery, Pinocchio's morals, which his creator gave him, are tested, and he must escape being manipulated by the bad boys of the cursed Pleasure Island who have [[Hollywood values]] and, because of their actions, are turned into donkeys (which, coincidentally, is the mascot for the [[Democratic Party]]). Finally, he altruistically saves Geppetto from being trapped inside a whale and proves himself worthy to become a real boy.<br />

|The movie showcases the consequences with the concept of playing God where the main antagonist Mewtwo, a clone, was shown to be disturbed at the revelation that he may have only been created to be the purposes of being a tool (with the message being more pronounced in the Japanese version due to religious censorship during dubbing). It also promotes the idea of self-worth and how the circumstances of one's birth don't matter so much as they try to push good, with Mewtwo ultimately being reformed upon learning this message. It also has an anti-cloning message, due to Mewtwo's aforementioned disturbance at his origins.

|A Disney cartoon that explains the happenings of people doing things based on reason and emotion (personified as a professor and a caveman, respectively). The cartoon even explains how Adolf Hitler had destroyed reason and logic by appealing to emotion (like fear, hate, pride, and sympathy) in the Germans' minds. At the end of the cartoon, Reason and Emotion come to an agreement to balance things out: Reason's job is to think, plan, and discriminate, while Emotion's job is to be a fine, strong emotion that loves his country, freedom, and life. On a related note, the reference to Hitler and his being condemned for destroying reason and logic also acts as more evidence that in spite of various leftist claims post-mortem, Walt Disney was never a Nazi supporter.<br />

It also promotes the concept of the [[American Dream]] as well as capitalism, as the main protagonist dreams of becoming an inventor like Bigweld (who is depicted in a similar manner to Walt Disney) and also left to try and get his family to have a greater opportunity. It also manages to condemn corporate corruption without advocating for more government control or demonizing Capitalism, as while the new management of Bigweld industries was shown to be extensively corrupt and cynical, Bigweld himself, as well as the company that it originally stood for, was painted in a very positive light. It also poked fun at the transgender agenda where Fender is embarrassed by his new feminine parts and a bonus feature short has him wearing his old parts again.<br />

|''The Secret of NIMH''<br />

|This family-friendly film includes Mrs Brisby, who is a widowed mouse. She lives on a farm owned by a man named Fitzgibbons. She and her 4 children, Martin, Theresa, Cynthia and Timmy live in a cinderblock in one of Fitzgibbons' fields. Every year, before Fitzgibbons plows the field to plant his crops, the family moves to their summer home to avoid the tractor. Nearby is another mouse, Dr Ages, who is the family doctor. Brisby visits Ages to get a remedy for Timmy, who has come down with pneumonia, potentially delaying the summer move. Fitzgibbons decides one day to begin plowing the field early. Brisby desperately tries to disable the farmer's tractor and freezes while climbing up the mechanism. Auntie Shrew intervenes and pulls out the tractor's gas line, halting the machine. While Mrs Brisby sobs over her predicament, Auntie tells her to be braver for her family's sake and suggests she visit the Great Owl, the wisest creature in the forest. Brisby is hesitant, since owls eat mice, but she goes. With the help of a new found friend, Jeremy, a crow hoping to meet Miss Right, and whom Mrs Brisby untangled from a pile of string he was trapped in, she meets with the fearsome owl, who merely tells her that she must move her family. Mrs Brisby explains the complication with her son Timmy and the owl tells her he has no solution. As he leaves, he learns her last name and becomes more helpful because her husband, Jonathan, was well known and respected throughout the woods. The Owl tells Mrs Brisby to go to the colony of rats that live in the farmer's rose bush and ask them for help. He specifically tells her to have the rats move her house to "the lee of the stone", the protected side of a large rock in the field that Fitzgibbons avoids when plowing. Mrs Brisby sneaks into the rose bush and finds that the rats have built a very modern colony that makes use of electricity that they pilfer from Fitzgibbons. She also meets Dr Ages there, whom at first tells her the rose bush is off-limits but is astonished that she had met with the Great Owl and lived. They are discovered by the rats' captain of the guard, Justin, who takes them to the rats' Senate room. As they enter, a charismatic rat, Jenner, is railing to the council about the plan of the rats' leader, Nicodemus, who wants to abandon the rose bush and move to a location called Thorn Valley where they'll found a new colony based on their own labors, rather than stealing supplies from the farmer. Jenner is opposed to the idea and even suggest that they wage war against any humans who attempt to drive them out. Justin and Ages make Mrs Brisby's case to the council, who agree to the request because she is Jonathan Brisby's wife. In a sinister private meeting with his associate, Sullivan, Jenner plots to have Nicodemus killed during the operation and make it look accidental. Justin takes Mrs Brisby to meet with Nicodemus. A very old, kind and wise leader, he tells Mrs Brisby the rats' history: they were all lab animals imprisoned in NIMH, the National Institutes of Mental Health. Injected with experimental compounds, the rats developed intelligent brains and were able to escape their cages, along with several mice including Jonathan and Mr Ages. During their escape, all but two of the mice, Johnathan and Mr Ages, were sucked into the ventilation system by strong air gusts. When the party were trapped by a vent grating, Jonathan was small enough to crawl through and open the grate. The rats subsequently owed Jonathan their lives and he continued to work with them while they built their colony. Some months prior to Mrs Brisby's visit to the rose bush, Jonathan had been killed by Fitzgibbons' ornery and fearsome cat, Dragon, whom the rats had been trying to drug. Nicodemus gives Brisby a large red amulet and tells her that it has great supernatural powers when someone shows true courage of the heart. Nicodemus says that the rats will be happy to repay their life debt to Jonathan's family and will move her home. For the operation to succeed, Dragon will have to be drugged. Mrs Brisby, feeling she should participate, volunteers to spike Dragon's feeding dish. The only way into Fitzgibbons' kitchen is through a small hole under a sideboard, a hole too small for any rat. The plan goes well until Mrs Brisby runs back and is trapped by Fitzgibbons' son. Justin leaves her, having to supervise the operation, promising to come back for her. While she's trapped in a bird cage, Brisby overhears Fitzgibbons on the phone with NIMH, who want to come to his farm and capture the rats. Brisby realizes the situation is now more desperate and escapes the bird cage by knocking out its small water cup. At the site of the Brisby home, the rats have constructed an elaborate system of ropes and blocks and tackles to lift the cinderblock. While the block is being swung towards the stone, Jenner cuts the anchoring lines with his sword and the block falls, narrowly missing Nicodemus, however, the heavy gears and rope fall on him, killing him. Jenner declares the operation a failure and suggests they leave when Mrs Brisby arrives. Justin tells her that her family is alive but Nicodemus is dead. She suddenly remembers her urgent news that NIMH will be at the farm tomorrow and tells the rats they must leave tonight. Jenner refuses to believe her and tells the rats that he will take over leadership of the colony. When Mrs Brisby insists she's telling the truth, Jenner strikes her and notices that she's wearing the amulet. Attempting to seize it from her, Justin intervenes and fights with Jenner until he wounds him. Jenner admits that he'd caused the accident that killed Nicodemus, saying that the plan to move the colony would fail. As he moves in to kill Justin, Sullivan kills Jenner with a thrown dagger and succumbs to his own wound, inflicted by Jenner himself when he'd given his own sword to Justin during the fight. Moments later, Mrs Brisby sees that her house has begun to sink into the mud, taking her children with it. A futile attempt to rig a new roping system fails and Brisby herself vainly pulls at the remaining ropes as the house sinks under the surface. Justin rescues her, holding her back. As she looks on in horror, the amulet suddenly bursts from the mud, brightly glowing, and places itself around her neck. Using the power that Nicodemus spoke of, she raises the house from the mud and moves it to the lee side of the stone. Brisby's children are safe and she faints from exhaustion. The next morning, with Timmy on the mend from his pneumonia and the now-abandoned rose bush being inspected by NIMH, Jeremy arrives with mounds of string that he'd been collecting to build a love nest and finds the Brisby home already moved and even camouflaged by the natural vegetation. He asks Brisby for the amulet, however, she'd given it to Justin before they'd left the rose bush. While he laments that he wasn't able to help move the house, a female crow suddenly flies into him. The two become immediately infatuated. While Brisby's daughter wraps her mother's hands which were burned by the amulet, Auntie Shrew arrives for a visit, bringing groans from Martin as Jeremy and his new love fly off. This movie's interesting plot, and its complicated themes that are apparent are both entertaining for adults and kids alike. Although there are some references to violent themes, it does not paint them in good lighting and shows the harsh consequences. Because of their wide audience appeal, this movie was wildly successfully in movie theaters. The Secret of NIMH is considered to be one the best children's movies of the 20th century.<br />

|Paints evil in a very serious light in the form of Maleficent, and also showcases loyalty to family and duty in a positive light, as despite Aurora wanting to meet with the man she met in the woods, she ultimately honored her stepfamily in being returned to her birth family. Is also inherently anti-feminist in its messaging and for traditional marriage. It is also pro-family, as King Stefan and Queen Leah ultimately gave up their baby to protect her from the main villain, and the narration explicitly stated that the royal family and the kingdom awaited the day of her 16th birthday to allow her back into their family when the curse seemed to be averted. Unfortunately, it ended up being ruined in 2014 with a revisionist retelling starring the main villain and pushed the exact opposite messages in that film.<br />

|''Toy Story'' (the first three films)<br />
|1995, 1999, 2010<br />
|G<br />
|Altogether, the first three films celebrate friendship and family unity, even if it focuses more on a figurative family with the boy Andy as a father-figure to his toys, who come alive in humans' absence and praise Andy for loving and playing with them as though they were his children.<br />
<br />
In the first installment, the world's first computer-animated theatrical feature, pull-string cowboy doll Sheriff Woody grows jealous when science fiction hero action figure Buzz Lightyear, who initially believes he is a real space hero, becomes young Andy's favorite toy among the toy community. Woody's efforts to make himself Andy's favorite toy again cause both him and Buzz to be separated from their owner, but teamwork allows them to find their way back to Andy just before he and his family move to a new house. The film's overall development was especially notable due to then-Disney Animation chairman [[Jeffrey Katzenberg]] initially ordering for ''Toy Story'' to be made significantly more liberal in its values by being more "adult, cynical, [and] edgy". This included depicting Woody and the other toys in a significantly more mean-spirited light, with Woody going so far as to actually attempt to murder Buzz with no remorse whatsoever (instead of accidentally knocking Buzz out of the window, as he does in the final film). This caused Toy Story to be almost canceled and Pixar itself to be nearly shut down until the company was given a second chance.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2010/07/07/we-love-pixar-how-hollywood-cynicism-almost-ruined-toy-story-and-pixar/</ref><br />
<br />
In ''Toy Story 2'', while Andy is away at summer camp, Woody is stolen by a greedy toy collector and is tempted by the idea of being immortalized in a museum, only to be rescued by his friends and reminded of a toy's true purpose: for a child to play with it. Once again, the film positively portrays teamwork and family unity using a metaphor of unity between toys and their owners.<br />
<br />
''Toy Story 3'' sees a nearly grown Andy ready to leave for college and leave most of his toys except Woody in a garbage bag to be stored in his attic, but his mother mistakes it for a bag of real trash. Woody follows the toys as they make their way to a dreadful daycare center, unable to convince them of the misunderstanding. Nihilism and totalitarianism are portrayed in a strongly negative light in the form of Lotso the jealous teddy bear, who denounces all toys as being "destined for the scrapheap" and acts as a brutal dictator over the daycare toys. It also was the third animated film ([[Beauty and the Beast]] and Up) to be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars.<br />

|''Up''<br />
|2009<br />
|PG<br />
|This tear-jerking, pro-family Pixar animation stars Carl Fredricksen, an elderly widower balloon salesman who is about to be forced off his land but refuses to sell his house (likely promoting individualism triumphing over a liberal collectivist government). Carl ties thousands of balloons to his house and sets off on the South American vacation that he promised his wife Ellie while she was still alive, showing the inherent sacredness of marriage and how it should be continuously honored even after a spouse dies. In the end, he adopts young Russell, a fatherless Wilderness Explorer (a spoof of the Boy Scouts) who joins him on his adventure, as his surrogate grandson, which celebrates family unity. The film takes a light jab at divorce, too, as it is implied that Russell's parents no longer live together, leaving the boy heartbroken until Carl adopts him. Lastly, an overarching theme of the film states that a person is never too old or too young to follow his or her dreams.<br />
<br />
Its major critical acclaim made it the first animated film since [[Beauty and the Beast]] 18 years prior to be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. It however lost to “The Hurt Locker.”<br />

|''Wreck-It Ralph''<br />
|2012<br />
|PG<br />
|Ralph, a villain from a retro, 1980s-esque video game who wants to escape after being typecast for about 30 years as the poor and medal-less guy, is encouraged to use his equal opportunities to do better and pursue his own successes. This is the basis of the American Dream: the goal of overcoming one's present, lowly circumstances to achieve a state of greatness. Trying to achieve this goal by theft is shown as the wrong way to do so. In addition, the main antagonist is a competition-hating villain who has deceitfully hidden his true identity and origin, who has pushed liberal values in the video game where he rules and established what looks like a fixed economy because only he can win. The film also pushes anti-illegal immigrant messages as well, with the main villain and minor villains trying to take over other worlds. A more liberal sequel called ''Ralph Wrecks the Internet'' premiered in 2018.<br />

|2008<br />
|NR<br />
|As indicated by the title, this film by Citizens United unmasks the Democrats' attempt at preventing the airing of the documentary ''The Path to 9/11'', as well as their role in cutting a vital scene revealing that Bill Clinton had partially been responsible for 9/11 due to failing to give the order to kill Osama bin Ladin when they had the chance. Also takes down the various liberal critiques that occurred. Aside from the obvious condemnations against Clinton and his followers, it also has a brief criticism of Obama for repeating several falsehoods about how they stopped the terrorists responsible for the 1993 World Trade Center attack (in particular, claiming they just arrested the terrorists and treated them to a court of law like any other criminal).<br />

American movies, illegal at the time, were smuggled into the Soviet Union on VHS tape, dubbed into Russian, and sold on the black market.

|''[[Death of a Nation: Can We Save America a Second Time?]]''<br />
|2018<br />
|PG-13<br />
|[[Dinesh D'Souza]] exposes the truth about the fascism of [[Benito Mussolini]] and [[Adolf Hitler]], as well as their direct connection to the Democrat Party. It also makes clear the racism that motivated the latter had direct roots to the Progressive movement of the United States and by extension, the Democrat Party, and that the conventional wisdom of Fascism was of the right-wing of politics was one of the left's biggest lies and that fascism if anything was of the left. On a similar note, it also makes clear the connection between Mussolini's fascism and Marxism, and also indicates that the issue of slavery was another form of socialism. Also makes clear that the white supremacist founder of the alt-Right [[Richard Spencer]] and the Charlottesville Rally organizer [[Jason Kessler]] had in fact been left-wingers posing as right-wingers. Similarly it also makes clear that Antifa and George Soros, despite claiming they were "anti-Fascist", were in fact fascists (also exposing the latter's role in the confiscation of objects held by his neighbors by the Nazis). As implied by the title, it also compares the turbulent times that was orchestrated by the left after Donald Trump was elected to the events of the Civil War under Lincoln. It also has a positive depiction of the [[White Rose Rebellion]].<br />

Donald Trump urged his supporters to see this documentary, and it is believed to have helped him win the 2016 presidential election. Like all of D'Souza's documentaries, this movie was absolutely despised by liberal-biased critics. In fact, the mainstream media hated this documentary so much that it became the worst-reviewed film on 3 different review aggregator websites. That is how crazy liberals go when their arguments are countered with facts, logic, and truth. The craziest part of all is how this documentary won 5 [[Golden Raspberry Awards]] because the leftists in Hollywood wanted revenge for Trump winning the election. D'Souza said he was honoured to be receiving so much hate because it is proof that he got his point across.<br />

|''12 Strong: The Declassified True Story of the Horse Soldiers''<br />
|2018<br />
|R<br />
|Based on the real life declassified mission of the Horse Men that were deployed to Afghanistan after the September 11 terror attacks. On the one hand, the film is pro-America and depicts the Taliban and Al Qaida in a very negative light. But on the other, one of the stars of the film, Michael Shannon, was extremely anti-American, and a couple of the members of the unit had their ethnicities changed in what seemed to be an attempt at forced [[diversity]].<br />

However, their personal attitudes towards women ruin their own relationships, and the man remains steadfast in his abstinence. Later, he meets a woman who connects with him, but is no longer a virgin, as she has a teenage daughter. At one point, her daughter confesses only to him that she is also a virgin and encourages him not to feel bad about it. However, her mother, who has been on multiple dates with him, is still unaware of his virginity. After their proposed deadline by which the two agreed to eventually have sex, he tells her of his virginity and stays reluctant about giving in.

|''Air Force One''<br />
|1997<br />
|R<br />
|On the one hand, the strong and courageous U.S. President James Marshall (Harrison Ford), a military veteran, takes an uncompromising stance against Russian terrorists who hijack his airplane. The major themes include family, authority, respect for the military, and sacrifice for the greater good. On the other hand, however, the script-writer for the film has admitted that he made the film largely to promote then-president [[Bill Clinton]].<ref>https://www.salon.com/july97/entertainment/movieair970725.html<br />"But Bill Clinton is the first president to spawn movies that feature fictional presidents functioning as his stand-ins, movies made by directors fighting to define, and redefine, his image.....Air Force One" is a fantasy of what it might take for President Clinton to become all things to all people. The movie's Clinton stand-in, President James Marshall (Harrison Ford, appropriately displaying the facial mobility of Mount Rushmore), is a leader who defies his timid advisors in his efforts to set policies against injustice and tyranny and is willing to take on Congress to enforce those policies. But this is a fantasy designed to silence Clinton's conservative critics, so not only is Jim Marshall a dedicated family man, but he's a Vietnam War hero to boot. There's a combo you can't beat, a guy who knows how to kill a Commie and keep his pecker in his pocket."</ref> In addition, Bill Clinton also had a direct role in the casting of at least one of the characters, as Glenn Close had reluctantly played the role of the movie's Vice President at the latter's request.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20060319090508/http://vikingphoenix.com/news/archives/1997/hdot9702.htm/</ref><br />

|''[[Aladdin (1992 film)|Aladdin]]''<br />
|1992<br />
|G<br />
|Based on the classic Arabian folk tale ''Aladdin and the Magic Lamp'', a poor but charitable thief is sent by Jafar, a sinister vizier to a sultan, to search for a mysterious oil lamp rumored to contain unbelievably powerful magic. Upon finding this, he accidentally releases the comical genie inside, who grants his wish to become a prince so he can legally court Jasmine, the sultan's daughter. On the one hand, the film is set within what is implied to be a Muslim state, and Aladdin does resort to lying to try and marry Jasmine. A slight feminist bent is present because Jasmine refuses to marry, ignoring the law requiring it (although not nearly to the same extent as with Belle and ''Beauty and the Beast''). In addition, some lyrics to the opening song were notably cut due to fears of offending the Muslim populace, implying the film is politically correct in nature. The Sultan is shown to be a massive bumbler and overgrown child, which may hint at an anti-parenthood agenda. But on the other hand, the film does ultimately push character integrity because Aladdin ultimately decides against lying and tells Jasmine the truth about himself. Disregarding the film's politically correct treatment of Islam, it ultimately showcases some more negative elements of Islamic culture via a vendor nearly chopping Jasmine's hand off when she "steals" some food to feed a starving child, as well as depicting Prince Achmed in a very negative light via his cruelty to Aladdin and children attempting to stop him. The prince is implied to be a poor example of a husband, so it is subtly implied that Jasmine refused to marry because all the princes she encountered had in fact been as bad as Achmed. She then falls for Aladdin because he saves her life and shows kindness to her. In addition, it is made clear that while Aladdin does steal and initially had an infamous reputation for his thefts, it's solely in order to survive on the streets, with it being heavily implied that he was an orphan, and he also selflessly gives his stolen food to starving children after initially planning to eat it. There is a lesser condemnation against the occult as the only explicit magic-user besides Aladdin's Genie is Jafar, the main villain who dreams of becoming the world's most powerful dark sorcerer. [[Wikipedia]], in yet another violation of its own neutrality rules, openly stated that the film is "racist".<br />

|''Atlantis: The Lost Empire''<br />

|Released during the [[Michael Eisner]] era of [[Disney]]. On the one hand, the main villain is a military commander who would endanger the lost city of Atlantis just to be rich, and it is implied that he would commit treason by selling the power source to the Kaiser during World War I for the same motivation. The theft of the crystal to become rich could be seen as a condemnation of capitalism. That being said, however, capitalism has also been promoted in a more positive light in the form of Preston B. Whitmore, an eccentric but ultimately good-hearted billionaire who funded the expedition in the first place, and in addition, most of the principal cast was shown to have dreams of getting a better lot in society, with it being heavily implied in the ending that they ultimately succeeded in achieving those dreams after selflessly trying to save Atlantis, which acts as an implicit promotion of both capitalism and the American Dream.<br />

|''Austin Powers'' franchise<br />
|1997, 1999, 2002<br />
|PG-13<br />
|A series of films that parodied spy films such as the [[James Bond]] franchise. On the one hand, liberal values are promoted such as Austin Powers’ promiscuous swinger nature being promoted as a positive, as well as usage of scatological humor throughout. In addition, one of the villains, Frau Farbissina, is mentioned to have been a founder of the militant faction of the Christian organization [[The Salvation Army]]. The first film also downplays the Cold War and the death of Communism by mentioning that the 1980s were among the "unimportant decades" in Austin Powers’ crash course. On the other hand, it does promote some chivalrous aspects, as Austin in the first film made it very clear to Vanessa Kinsington, the daughter of his former partner that not even he was willing to have sex with a woman who had too much to drink, and there is an implicit promotion of [[Gay Conversion Therapy]], as Farbissina was established as a lesbian in the second movie, yet after sleeping with Dr. Evil (a parody of [[Ernst Stavro Blofeld]], in particular the version from ''[[You Only Live Twice (film, 1967)|You Only Live Twice]]'' portrayed by Donald Pleasance.) in the past, she ended up becoming pregnant (with Scott Evil, Dr. Evil's son, being the byproduct of the affair), and it is implied afterward as well as in the third movie ''Goldmember'' that she became straight afterward and genuinely loved Dr. Evil, enjoying a kiss that with him that was otherwise meant to slip a key to him to aid in his escape. Family values are also given a slight promotion, as Farbissina defended Scott Evil from Dr. Evil's otherwise abusive actions to him, and part of the third movie involved Scott and Dr. Evil growing closer to their relationship, and it is also revealed that Dr. Evil was in fact Austin's brother, leading to some redemption for the latter, and the third movie makes clear that some of Austin's problems were the result of his father Nigel being a neglectful father. The second movie also has an anti-body positive message as well with Fat [censored]. In the third film, Fat [censored] eventually loses tons of weight.<br />

|''Back to the Future''<br />
|1985<br />
|PG<br />
|Musically gifted but slacking highschooler Marty McFly is invited by his energetic, quirky scientist friend Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown to witness the birth of his greatest invention: a time-traveling DeLorean automobile. After Doc Brown is shot and killed by Libyan terrorists, whom he tricked to gain plutonium fuel needed to make his car travel through time, Marty escapes in the DeLorean and travels 30 years into the past, where he meets his parents as teenagers and accidentally becomes his mother Lorraine's new love interest. He then meets with the young Doc Brown, who volunteers to help him return to 1985 and warns him that he will cease to exist if he does not ensure that his parents fall in love at their high school prom. Marty ultimately succeeds in reuniting his future parents by encouraging his teenage father George to stand up to bully Biff Tannen in Lorraine's honor. In the process, he saves Doc Brown by sending him a note warning of the terrorist attack. Overall, the movie contains some conservative messages such as the triumph of chivalry, the evils of terrorism, and the negative effects of deviancy and drug/alcohol addiction. At the same time, it promotes premarital sexual activity and disregard for chastity. Included two sequels in 1989 and 1990.<br />

Environmental and anti-hunting messages are pushed (although it should be noted that the main antagonist, "Man", is technically closer to a poacher than a true hunter due to his killing a nursing doe and also trying to kill Bambi, a fawn, both of which are strictly prohibited by hunters), but it is also pro-family due to Bambi's mother giving her life to save her son, and the Great Forest Prince, who is heavily implied to be Bambi's father, went out of his way to protect Bambi from the hunter three times, even rescuing his son from a forest fire. It also was anti-homosexual agenda and way ahead of its time in refuting claims of [[animal homosexuality]], as the character Flower, a skunk, is depicted in childhood as a very effeminate male, yet when he became an adult, he evidently was aroused by a female skunk and ultimately became a father as well.<br />

|PG-13<br />
|An animated two-part adaptation of Frank Millar's comic book Elseworld story of the same name where Batman is forced to resume his duties after crime reached record highs in Gotham. The movie is anti-Crime, and also depicts homosexuality and sexual deviancy in a very negative light, including making a connection between homosexuality and Nazis via a transgendered Nazi criminal, and the Joker is portrayed in a similar manner to Paul Lynde. It also mocks to a certain degree anti-war politicians, as the mayor (a likely democrat) attempts to [[negotiate]] with the Mutant leader in jail to get him to call off the Mutants' war on Gotham only to have his throat torn out, with his vice-mayor repeating the same concessions. On the same note, it also showcases the negatives of pseudo-sciences as a psychologist was depicted as being a quack who ended up making Two-Face's insanity even worse despite repairing his face, and was ultimately responsible for letting the Joker escape Arkham Asylum due to the latter faking being cured. That all being said, however, it does feature some anti-Reagan messaging, and also condemns the military due to Joker trying to instigate a nuclear war between America and the Soviets, and America striking first as a result, and it was also revealed that a military general had provided the mutant gang with enough military arms to start a small war.<br />

|Although a non-canonical direct-to-video film, it still paints Christmas in a positive light, and has Beast learning the meaning behind it, as well as putting aside the past relating to it being the reason he was cursed. Also significantly tones down the more feminist messaging from the original film. However, the manner in which Christmas was depicted was closer to the secular view of Christmas than the actual intended meaning of the holiday being a celebration of Jesus Christ's birth.<br />

|Its debatable whether or not its environmentalist or against it. It does show the destructiveness of environmentalism (i.e. butting into nature's problems in the name of helping her). The anti-human sentiments in the movie turned out to be wrong, however, the humans are taking the honey made by the bees, similar to the welfare program of taking from those who worked for it. Others believe the movie promotes [[bestiality]], and is just disguised as a family movie. It became a source of dozens of internet memes.<br />

|Based on the epic poem of the same name from the Middle Ages, it portrays Christianity in a positive light (as evidenced with the character of Unferth, who wasn't that in the original tale), and the hero, Beowulf, does what he believes is right. However, a significant portion of the film has Beowulf doing anti-Christian things, including mating with Grendel's mother over killing her (a stark contrast with the original tale where he does in fact kill her), and also implies that the dragon that ultimately killed him in the original tale was the result of his sleeping with her (when originally, the dragon had no relation at all to Grendel, his mom, or Beowulf). In addition, it also depicted Hrothgar as a drunken womanizer.<br />

|A drama film about Nat Turner, an enslaved man who led a slave rebellion in Southampton County, Virginia. The film focuses on Turner's life as a slave but also a Christian. There are many scenes where he preaches to his fellow slaves in different plantations, even conduct Baptist services, at the same time, he exposes to the crimes related to slavery, which eventually force him to rebel. The film likewise was also deliberately named after D.W. Griffith's film of the same name in a form of irony due to it pushing the opposite message. However, there is a line at the end of the movie downplaying the deaths of the white slave owners compared to the black slaves, something done by the Hollywood elites and unfortunate because all people are equally valuable.<br />

|''Bohemian Rhapsody''<br />
|2018<br />
|PG-13<br />
|A biopic of [[Freddie Mercury]], the lead singer of the band Queen. While it does show elements of the practice of homosexuality and hedonism, at the same time, the film largely condemned the practice since it was made clear that Mercury's embracing of these things was what ultimately ruined Queen and his personal relationships, and is what ultimately killed him via AIDS. In addition, Paul Prenter, the only other major character to embrace homosexuality in the movie, was depicted in a very negative light, as he was one of the reasons Mercury went down a bad path, with it being made clear later on that Paul largely was using Mercury for his own gratification, blamed others for his bad ideas, and even hid vital information from Mercury deliberately such as the Live Aid concert plans as well as Mary Austin calling him. It also had a promotion of redemption, as Mercury, inspired largely by his former girlfriend/wife, Mary Austin nearing the end of the film, attempts to reconnect with his band and family and make amends in the time he had left before dying from AIDS. That all being said, however, it's debatable whether the film intended to paint his homosexual escapades in a negative light, as several members of the production company, including Freddie Mercury's actor Rami Malek, indicated that it was a "regrettable" decision as a result of not having enough time to give a "more balanced" view of (ie, promoting) his bisexual lifestyle.<br />

|A parody of the famous 1970s sitcom, the Bradys still act like their normals selves even though it’s set in the mid 1990s. The plot is about Mike owing the IRS $20,000 in back taxes, and with his 1970s architectural style not being hip with new clients, and spending a bunch of money on trips to the Grand Canyon and Hawaii, they may have to sell the house which is what Larry Dittmeyer needs for his plan to turn the neighborhood into a mall. On one hand, the High School counselor is played by infamous drag queen RuPaul, and Marcia’s friend Noreen is heavily implied to be lesbian. However, Peter who’s going through puberty, eventually builds up the courage to knock down the bully Eric Dittmeyer, and win his crush over, along with the Bradys always sticking together regardless if the house forecloses or not even if the road is rough.<br />

Héctor offers to help Miguel reach Ernesto; in return, he asks Miguel to take his photo back to the Land of the Living, so that he might visit his now-elderly daughter before she forgets him and he disappears completely.

As well as many shots where the America flag is trashed upon (which could symbolize how liberalism has trashed everything America has stood for).<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piPzExBdfIg</ref> But at the same time it also takes jabs at capitalism, where Bill believes he's no longer commercially valuable.

Doctor Doom was changed from a dictator to a Capitalist, which Marvel fans and Stan Lee didn’t like.

|Based on the 1970 children's book of the same name by Roald Dahl, Wes Anderson's first animated film stars Mr. Fox - an anthropomorphic red fox who used to steal farm birds for a living - growing bored of the domestic life. He decides to get back into stealing birds with the help of a meek opossum named Kylie, but his attempt at one final heist brings three farmers - fat Boggis, short Bunce, and lean Bean - to target Mr. Fox and his family, and he has to enlist the help of his friends and family to fight back against them. On one hand, while Wes Anderson's style of dysfunctional family shows up here, Mr. Fox ultimately loves his family and would do anything for them, even willing to sacrifice himself to save his nephew when he's captured by the farmers; he also fights his former partner-in-crime Rat to the death when the latter threatens his son and acts lecherous to his wife. Mr. Fox also deals with the consequences of his thieving ways and vows to make it up to everyone, showing that in spite of his arrogance, he wants to do right by his friends and family and admits that he had been in the wrong. On the other hand, the farmers appear to be capitalists since the supermarket that the animals take food from belongs to the three of them (Roald Dahl had refused to put this in the book when he was alive, saying that it would be too easy of a solution for the animals' problem, as well as concerned that it would teach kids to steal). Mr. Fox's son Ash is also said to be "different", possibly referencing being homosexual or transgender, with Beaver's son even mentioning that Ash dresses like a girl. Instead of swearing, the characters say the word “cuss”.<br />

|''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996 film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]''<br />
|1996<br />
|G<br />
|Released during Michael Eisner's presidency at Disney, the film presents a mixed package. The original source material was not intended for children, yet the Disney film was marketed as such to young audiences.<br />
<br />
In some cases, the film manages to be slightly more pro-Christian than it's source material. For example, the character of Frollo, who was the corrupt archdeacon in the novel, is now the minister of justice and the Archdeacon is now a separate character voiced by Davis Odegn Steirs, who serves as the positive Christian conscience in the film (albeit the only positive Christian conscience). The Archdeacon is the one responsible for saving Quasimodo from Frollo committing infanticide and encourages Esmeralda to pray to God. Phoebus is also depicted in a good light, an honorable soldier and also was shown to genuinely love Esmeralda, even going as far to save her as well as Quasimodo. This is a stark contrast to the book, where he was a callous womanizer who abandoned Esmeralda to being hanged.<br />
<br />
Christian imagery is present throughout the film, appropriate since Notre Dame is an actual location, as opposed to several Disney films during the Renaissance where churches are absent of religious imagery to be more politically correct. The Latin Requiem Mass is also present in the musical score.<br />
<br />
Unlike most films in the Disney animated canon, this film actually has the character's relying to God's grace to resolve the conflict, instead of relying on some special magic.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, in some cases, the film actually manages to be even darker than the original novel. Originally, Quasimodo's vicious punishment at the hands of the Parisians during the Feast of Fools ceremony was out of corporal punishment; while in the Disney film, it had been done at the whim of the Parisians just for the sake of it. In addition, Frollo himself was also made significantly more villainous in the movie compared to in the book despite being separated from the archdeacon role, removing most of his redeemable traits in the book (case in point, in the film, Frollo was responsible for killing Quasimodo's mother and nearly killed Quasimodo himself as a baby until being made to raise him as penance by the archdeacon, and was depicted as an abusive father figure overall, as well as depicted as sadistic, in contrast to the original novel, where he willingly took in Quasimodo when he was in fact abandoned by his mom and was depicted as a fairly good father figure, at least until Esmerelda entered the picture). Some Christian concepts were also removed from the film in an attempt to increase Frollo's villainy as a result (for example, Quasimodo in the film was named such as an insult to his deformed appearance, while in the book he was actually named after Quasimodo Tuesday). It's also debatable as to whether it's pro-Christian overall since while the Archdeacon himself was a positive influence, most of the other Christian characters, without even counting Frollo, were nevertheless depicted in a very negative light. The director's commentary also implied that they may have engaged in blasphemous material by having Frollo in the crucifix pose as he's descending into Hell during the visuals for Hellfire.<ref>DVD Commentary: "Here's some more of our ham-fisted symbolism--Frollo falls down in the shape of a crucifix!"</ref><br />
<br />
To make the film even darker, a gypsy genocide plot is introduced, and Paris was also the victim of arson late into the film. The song Hellfire was also notorious for making explicit references to lust despite it being very family unfriendly. This is a stark contrast to most other Disney film adaptations, which have a history of toning down the original works (as in The Jungle Book, in which Disney advised the writers to ignore the book specifically because its contents were unsuitable for children). The Gypsies were also depicted in a more positive light, to the extent that they at times were considered preferable to Christianity, despite Gypsies essentially being pagans. Hints at race swapping were also included in the film, as Esmerelda was made into an ethnic gypsy in the movie, when in the original book, she was actually a blonde parisienne and the daughter of an anchoress who was abducted by the gypsies and made into their own.<br />
<br />
Some mild language is present too (namely the words "damnation" and "eternal damnation").<br />
<br />
Worst of all, one of the male gargoyles falls in love with Djali, who is male, which may have meant that liberals will subtly shoehorn the homosexual agenda into anything, even the gargoyles of Notre Dame (and also comes across as extremely hypocritical and blasphemous due to homosexuality being tolerated even less by God than Frollo's lust for Esmerelda, based on God explicitly referring to the concept as an abomination in Leviticus as well as his destroying Sodom and Gomorrah largely because of the practice of homosexuality). It can be debated, however, whether the gargoyle, Hugo, knew that Djali was a male goat or not. However, this should be taken with a grain of salt, because the DVD audio commentary Kirk Wise (co-director), Gary Trousdale (co-director), and Don Hahn (producer) suggest that it's possible that the three gargoyles exist purely in Quasimodo's mind and are in fact split off portions of his own personality created to deal with his loneliness<ref> '''Gary Trousdale:''' We've always operated under the assumption that the gargoyles were kind of figments of Quasimodo's imagination. They didn't really move around, or did they? You know...<br />
<br />
'''Kirk Wise:''' Yeah, we like leaving a little bit of a question mark; kind of like Harvey the rabbit or Calvin and Hobbes.<br />
<br />
'''Gary Trousdale:''' They're inanimate when anybody else comes in the room. They don't talk to anybody else, except the goat. So that's here we kind of crossed the line a little bit.<br />
<br />
'''Kirk Wise:''' We like to keep it a little bit iffy. </ref>. So this matter could have less to do with the liberal agenda and more to do with poor writing. On a positive note, it is to be noted that the directors admitted that the implication that Hugo lusted after Djali was a line that even the directors admitted they shouldn't have crossed, which is a rarity ''especially'' in today's media where they are all for crossing said line.<br />

|Futuristic totalitarians plan titular annual televised "games" as punishment on the descendants of failed revolutionaries from a past uprising. Although technically a message against totalitarianism and for individualism, Leftist actor Donald Sutherland, who played President Snow, implied that the struggles of the films' protagonists were supposed to be derived from the Occupy Wall Street movement, and the book's author also indicated that the events of the book were based on the George W. Bush administration.<br />

|Although made by liberal director Roland Emmerich with the intention of getting then-President [[Bill Clinton]] re-elected into office as well as having a few liberal values (such as Marty Gilbert, David Levinson's boss, being implied to be homosexual and the fact that Jasmine Dubrow's an unrepentant stripper), it nonetheless manages to push patriotism for America and, due to an ad-lib by actor Bill Pullman, manages to have him bring context of honoring the American holiday Independence Day during President Whitmore's rousing speech before fighting off the alien invaders in a climactic battle. It also has some condemnation towards divorce, as evidenced by David Levinson and Constance Spano's divorce is treated in a negative light, and also is pro-family due to Russell Casse sacrificing himself during battle to save his family. It was followed by a sequel, ''Independence Day Resurgence'', which went fully to the left.<br />

|''The Iron Giant''<br />
|1999<br />
|PG<br />
|This animation espouses anti-war themes and also brief but strong anti-hunting sentiments. Firearms in general are shown in a negative light, with the phrase "guns kill" being repeated a total of three times (which was considered a "positive message" by the ultra-liberal media watchdog group [[Common Sense Media]]). The titular giant is referred to as a "big gun that walks." From a conservative viewpoint, he is a poor metaphor for a real gun; unlike a law-abiding citizen who is a gun owner, the giant has no choice in his actions because he is a war machine programmed with the inability to use his weapons for good, but only to use them thoughtlessly and senselessly. The story involves him learning to hide his weapons and "not be a gun". The conclusion is that, in order to protect the public from an incoming missile, he must fly into it and kill himself rather than use his guns against it. As it is explained, "It's bad to kill, but it isn't bad to die." In addition, despite being set during the Cold War, it largely downplays the Soviet menace that was occurring during that time, as the main antagonist, Kent Mansley, is a government agent (implied to be part of the NSA) investigating the titular Iron Giant who at one point while launching a tirade against Hogarth Hughes alludes to the possibility that the Communists may have been responsible for the Giant's creation as a means to destroy America and that they must destroy it before "it destroys us" and is treated negatively for it. Also features some foul language.<br />
<br />
That all being said, however, despite the definite anti-gun and anti-hunting themes, the film does portray the military in a fairly positive light, as General Rogarth was shown to be even-headed and only willing to use military force if confronted with evidence requiring for it, also making clear that he was not happy about bringing out an implied large military force for what was apparently a hoax, and while the military does try to attack the Iron Giant late into the film, it was only because they had been manipulated into doing so by Kent Mansley by the latter lying about the giant killing Hogarth Hughes, and only when confronted with evidence that Hogarth had in fact been alive did the military stand down. In addition, when Hogarth left to investigate the evidence of a "martian" taking out an antenna, he proceeded to salute a photograph of his father, who was implied to have died during World War II. Also has a positive portrayal of the American icon Superman in it. There's also an anti-materialist message in it as well as an implicitly Christian message, as Hogarth talks to the Giant about how humans and other forms of life possess souls that live on even after their mortal bodies die. In addition the film also promotes individualism, promoting the idea of the individual choosing how to live their life, which may also support the American Dream as well, as Dean the film's tritagonist is a capitalistic artist.<br />

|The first installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe stars Robert Downey, Jr., as comic book hero Tony Stark, an initially unsympathetic, billionaire weapons developer with hedonistic habits such as alcoholism, extramarital sex, gambling, and drug use. A theme of redemption then follows when, on a tour in the Middle East, Stark is almost mortally wounded by the evil Islamic terrorist group the Ten Rings, inspiring Stark to turn his life around and build weapons for just causes, not solely for making money. Though he considers giving up weapons development altogether, Stark decides to stand by his Second Amendment rights and builds his first electromechanical suit of armor to escape the Ten Rings upon realizing that his supposed friend Obadiah Stane has been issuing guns to the terrorists behind his back. Overall, ''Iron Man'' teaches that capitalism and the military can be used for good. That being said, the aforementioned revelation that Obadiah Stane had been issuing weapons to the Ten Rings as well as orchestrating Stark's abduction by them earlier could be interpreted as subtle anti-War on Terror messaging.<br />

|''Joker''<br />
|2019<br />
|R<br />
|''Joker'' is the highest grossing R rated film of all time, and for good reasons. This revolutionary psychological crime thriller is a revisionist origin of the Joker (born in this universe as Arthur Fleck, although he is traditionally never given a proper name), a fictional supervillain and the archenemy of DC Comics superhero Batman, and his decent into a life of crime. It is difficult to watch and should not be shown to children but has deep messages that no Hollywood film will come close to replicating. Arthur never gets the mental help he needed and is constantly humiliated by people such as talk show host Murray Franklin, loosely based on Johnny Carson. That said, ''Joker'' is one of the only modern films to directly attack the mainstream media, and how it is responsible for causing chaos (Murray is played by Robert De Niro, a staunch leftist). It correctly shows that mental illness, not guns, can cause people to go insane and shoot people. Early on, Arthur is fired by his boss for carrying a gun while working as a children's party clown even though he was given the gun as a means for self-defense due to being assaulted earlier, which contributes to his further fall into madness. ''Joker'' goes even further to say that mental illness is tied directly to the media when Arthur directly confronts Murray on the set of his show, saying that he and the media only cause division and anger and that "It's enough to make anyone crazy!" Most liberal critics attacked ''Joker'', claiming it would cause people to commit mass shootings. This is expected since the film directly attacks the media, so the media is scared of people seeing ''Joker'' since it will expose their true intentions. However, some rioters who support Arthur in the film riot against the rich, and one of them slays Dr. Thomas and Martha Wayne, the wealthy parents of Bruce (the future Batman) near the end of the film; in contrast to traditional Batman stories, the Waynes are shown in a very negative light since Joker is a villain origin story. Interestingly enough, Arthur himself says that his actions are non-political: he only wants people to be civil and to get along with each other. The Joker is also nihilist, showing how nihilism is a very dangerous ideology. Furthermore, ''Joker'' depicts parental abuse and parental neglect in a very negative light. Arthur's mother Penny abused him throughout his childhood and claims Thomas Wayne is Arthur's father, who never helped raise him. Along with the media, she causes Arthur to descend into madness. It also attacks political correctness to a certain extent, as the director of the film made it clear he made the film partly in response to how comedy has been ruined by SJWs and political correctness.<br />

The Director's Cut version of ''Kingdom of Heaven'' is a prime example of how a Director's Cut can significantly improve the entire film. While the theatrical version featured terrible screenwriting and directing (as a result of studio interference), the Director's Cut drastically changes the entire film, significantly fleshes out, ties together, and grounds the story and brings the characters, their motivations, the different themes at play and the world to life. While the theatrical version was seen more or less as pure liberal media, the Director's Cut presents a story about humanity, belief, faith, and God. It also makes a statement about how people of different religious faiths can live together in peace and harmony and also be respectful of different religious beliefs. In addition, it promotes honor, duty, and the importance of doing the right thing, and it also portrays the noble Knights Hospitallers in a positive light. That being said, the film still portrays the Knights Templars in a negative light.<br />

Compared to the animated counterparts, the animal characters are soulless, inexpressive and unbearable if not even creepy to watch when they "talk".

Even Aunt Sarah is changed to black in this live-action version, and she even loses the redeeming qualities she had in the original animated film. The neighbor dog and dear Lady's friend Jock is female here, while the antagonistic and mischievous Aunt Sarah's iconic female Siamese cats Si & Am are now changed to be two male Devon Rex cats called Devon & Rex and with a totally different and quite less memorable musical number.

|This prequel to 2019's ''The Lion King'' shows Mufasa's origin story, as Rafiki tells this to Simba's daughter Kiara. Mufasa is an orphaned lion cub who befriends another cub named Taka, who later becomes Scar. When a white lion named Kiros attacks their home, the brothers flee and make a journey towards a promised land called Milele, which would later be called the Pride Lands.<br />
<br />
On the one hand, the movie does portray family and friendship rather positively. Mufasa and Taka bond as brothers, and Taka's mother, Eshe, comes to care for Mufasa like another son. In the present, Simba is shown to be a good father to Kiara, telling her to be brave while he checks on Nala, who is giving birth to her second cub.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, it does show a hint of feminism throughout the movie. Lionesses in real life are known to do most of the hunting for the pride, but the movie seems to hold them in higher favor than the males. Taka's father, Osabi, even gives his son terrible advice about how to be a king, like being lazy and lying to his subjects.<br />

|2019<br />
|R<br />
|This fantastic film from (albeit, very liberal) director Quentin Tarantino, set in 1969 Los Angeles, is a love letter to the older and more conservative film industry. It portrays the main character's alcoholism as the main thing holding him back in his later years. It also shows that hard work always pays off in how successful the main character's career was. In addition to all this, the film's villains, real-life cult leader/criminal [[Charles Manson]] (who masterminded the Tate-LaBianca murders) and his "Family" (who carried out the murders), are [[hippie]]s. The movie shows hippies as they really are - brain-damaged from drug use and really gross in both appearance and personal habits - and it makes no attempt to humanize them. Despite all of this, it does contain historic revisionism, graphic violence (a hallmark of Tarantino movies), and gratuitous drug use (the latter of which is played for laughs and shown as fun and consequence-free, contrary to real life). This was the first film to be made by Tarantino after he broke ties with Bob and [[Harvey Weinstein]] following the latter's convictions for sexual assault, and was also the last film to feature actor Luke Perry prior to his death from a stroke in March 2019.<br />

|''Overlord''<br />
|2018<br />
|R<br />
|An action horror movie set during World War II, ''Overlord'' follows several American soldiers who are dropped behind enemy lines into France on the eve of D-Day in 1944 and discovery terrifying Nazi experiments. It's told as a war movie first and foremost, with a fantastical black tar that's used to create immortal soldiers being secondary to the overall realistic tone of the movie. ''Overlord'' features brutal combat and high stakes stealth action, with death coming in swift and without mercy. Furthermore, the Americans are portrayed as the clear heroes of the story, with no attempt to "deconstruct" America or make them look bad, and the Nazis are portrayed as classic villains without any modern socio-political angle of equating them to conservatives. The one prominent female character in the story, a French civilian living under German occupation (played by Mathilde Ollivier), is portrayed as competent and useful, but is still largely a non-combatant, realistic to her overall role, unlike many modern movies that portray women as unstoppable Mary Sues in any setting.<br />
<br />
However, one key aspect where modern [[Hollywood values]] ''did'' affect the film was its politically correct casting of integrated black soldiers alongside their white counterparts, and the overall main character himself being a black man (played by Jovan Adepo). In reality, the US troops were racially segregated into different regiments, and the majority of people opposed integration back then. This in defiance of historical accuracy, in an otherwise mostly authentic film. That being said, the black characters aren't given special treatment by the narrative, with one of the first major deaths also being a black soldier who steps on a landmine out of nowhere. Likewise, the white characters are shown to be just as competent and without belittling them or artificially putting them down as is common in woke Hollywood, in particular being the deuteragonist played by Wyatt Russell, portrayed as the stern but noble leader of the squad.<br />

Unfortunately, Clinton-aligned Democrats forced ABC via [[Robert Iger|Bob Iger]] to cut the footage in question via staged negative responses, and a planned DVD release for the Documentary itself was later shelved at the order of Iger during the 2008 election, neither being released to DVD by Disney itself and its associates, nor even having its rights sold to another company altogether, for reasons that were heavily suspected by various people, including the man who made the documentary in the first place, to be done at the order of Hillary Clinton in order to ensure she succeeded in her attempt at winning the Democrat primary and President of the United States during the 2008 election.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20120523041134/https://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2012/05/18/cia-vindicates-path-911-clinton-claim</ref><br />

But on the other hand, it also is implied by the titular Pokémon Ranger Jack Walker to be a negative due to interfering with the mission, and in the climax, May ends up not doing a thing to attempt to save or even aid in saving Manaphy from Captain Phantom when the latter abducts it despite it being within her ability, which hints at parenthood being a negative.<br />

|A sequel to the Worst Liberal Movie ''Pocahontas'' released during the infamous Eisner-era direct to video sequel line. It still has some elements to feminism as well as some degree of Historical Revisionism (due to showing William Shakespeare present in the opening song despite being dead by the time of the setting of the film). That being said, however, the British as well as the former colonists are depicted in a significantly more positive light compared to the original film, and the ending also has an implicit promotion of marriage.

| One of [[Walt Disney]]’s live-action classics stars an orphaned girl who now lives with her wealthy aunt Polly Harrington who is the de facto leader of the town (Harrington) due to her massive wealth and influence over the Church. Pollyanna herself helps the miserable and depressed find happiness again wether it’s the “glad game” or doing simple stuff to make rainbows with crystals. It promotes the idea of small town Americana, and social values with going to Church, and praying before eating. It also shows the town getting together to hold a bazar (hosted by the Church) to raise money for a new orphanage.

|This Disney film set in 1920s New Orleans stars a waitress named Tiana who gets into an adventure of a lifetime when she kisses a prince cursed to become a frog, becoming a frog herself as well as befriending an alligator that loves jazz music and a Cajun firefly. The movie depicts traditional femininity in a positive light in the form of the side character Charlotte LeBoeuf, and is the first Disney animated feature film to have a positive depiction of traditional marriage since ''The Little Mermaid'' two decades prior. It's also debatable as to whether it promotes feminism, as aside from Charlotte LeBoeuf being depicted in a positive light overall as noted above, it implies at one point that Tiana achieving her dreams of being a CEO is ultimately a negative due to the main villain Dr. Facilier using that to tempt her into aiding him. On the other hand, liberals praised this film for featuring Disney's first African American princess but ignored the fact that it insults Christianity with Louisiana Voodoo, even replacing the traditional role of the fairy godmother with a blind voodoo priestess. On top of that, ''The Princess and the Frog'' is said to have stolen much of its plot from ''The Little Mermaid'' <ref>http://crowdofstars.livejournal.com/14186.html</ref><br />

The United Nations is shown in a positive light. On the other hand, the main villain is also a feminist, and the main human protagonist is shown praying for not only herself (even she has been kidnapped) but for all the kids in the orphanage (who have not been kidnapped).

On the one hand, the film implicitly promotes the decadent era of the 1960s (in particular, 1968) where it depicts characters Muriel Finster and Peter Prickly as hippies during their teacher training in a flashback, and also implies that the concept of recess was developed by the hippies. On the other hand, it also encourages at one point allowing children to act like children, and ultimately promotes Recess and Summer Vacation as a concept, and the main villain, Phillium Benedict, is a radical former head of the liberal Department of Education who wished to eliminate recess and later summer vacation to raise test scores with the implication of wanting to become President (who was fired largely because he proved to be too extreme even for that department), and also represents [[liberal values]]. Also has a slight condemnation of the public school system's mistreatment of children, as Peter Prickly in the ending thanks TJ for having him remember that he originally became a teacher and (albeit unintentionally) principal of Third Street out of a desire to help children, and had largely forgotten that bit until that time.<br />

Although the story itself was based on [[Joseph Ritson]]'s revised version of the character that was in support of the Jacobin cause and thus was a liberal icon (steals from the rich, gives to the poor), the villain is Prince John who makes his money from taxes, suggesting Robin Hood is only giving money the government demanded back to people who actually worked for it, and thus was implicitly closer in themes to the original, pre-Ritson revision version of the character. It also features a condemnation of government encroachment of the church, as a pivotal scene featured the Sheriff of Nottingham explicitly stealing a coin from the poor box and his later arresting Friar Tuck for trying to stop him, and the Sheriff's actions were clearly being framed in a horrible light.<br />

|''Shrek''<br />
|2001<br />
|PG<br />
|Loosely based on a 1990 fairytale picture book by William Steig, the second feature-length computer animation by DreamWorks SKG stars Shrek, a socially challenged ogre who becomes an unlikely hero when he forms an alliance with a pesky, talking donkey to rescue a princess at the behest of the evil Lord Farquaad of Duloc (a ridicule caricature of liberal-progressive former CEO of Disney and former Jeffrey Katzemberg boss, [[Michael Eisner]]), who hates fairytale-type beings and has forced a host of them to live in Shrek's swamp. Not long after they rescue Princess Fiona, Donkey learns that she was cursed as a child to transform into an ogre herself by night and that only marriage can break the curse. Shrek does not hear this message clearly at first and thinks Fiona is calling him an "ugly beast" before he realizes she actually despises her own ogre form and stops her marriage to Farquaad, preventing him from becoming a tyrannical king and continuing to oppress fairytale beings. Although DreamWorks is liberal, the dialogue occasionally resorts to adult humor (such as Shrek and Donkey cracking jokes at Farquaad's expense that implied that he had small gonads when explaining what he's like), and Fiona sometimes behaves like a feminist (as when she effortlessly uses martial arts against Robin Hood and his Merry Men), it is implied that most of the characters are Christians as the gingerbread man says "God Bless Us Everyone" (a reference to the character Tiny Tim in ''A Christmas Carol''). The gospel song "I'm a Believer" at the end of the feature, and the scene where Shrek and Fiona are silently upset about being separated has the version of "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen. Robin Hood is a secondary antagonist, but he is at least implied to be based on the infamous revisionist version by [[Joseph Ritson]] that was made in solidarity to the [[Jacobin]]s during the French Revolution). Lord Farquaad, intended to be based on Liberal [[Disney]] CEO [[Michael Eisner]], as mentioned above.<ref>http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2001-04-06/features/0104060008_1_lord-farquaad-dreamworks-jeffrey-Katzenberg</ref> (which adds to the whole film's existence as a reverent parody of Disney fairytale animation conventions), is likewise a lampoon of materialism because he only desires Fiona's marriage so he can officially become the King of Duloc. Finally, shortly after Farquaad meets his end at the jaws of Donkey's dragon love interest, Donkey jokes about [[Hollywood values]]: "Celebrity marriages, they never last, do they?"<br />

|''Shrek 2''<br />
|2004<br />
|PG<br />
|The sequel to the above film. On the one hand, aside from DreamWorks being liberal, there are some jokes that could be interpreted as promoting gender confusion (such as the revelation that Pinocchio was wearing women's underwear while he and the other fairy tale creatures save Shrek and Donkey from imprisonment), but in reality are at the expense of Pinocchio. On the other hand, there is also an anti-racism message for the film, since Fiona's father, the king of Far Far Away, is initially distrusting of Shrek largely due to the latter's Ogre status, and eventually comes to accept him upon realizing Fiona does truly love him, even going as far as to save his son-in-law from Fairy Godmother at the end, and the main villain, Fairy Godmother, is explicitly racist against Shrek for his species, insisting that "Ogres do not get happy endings" repeatedly. Also like the prior movie, it has a more anti-materialist message, as Fairy Godmother as well as her son, Prince Charming, both only intended to use Fiona in order to gain control over Far Far Away, similar to Lord Farquaad in the preceding movie. It also has a redemption message in the form of Puss in Boots, who initially was hired to kill Shrek, but after Shrek spares him, he ultimately became a loyal ally to Shrek, even willingly holding off several soldiers to allow Shrek and Donkey (who at that time had been transfigured into a handsome man and a white stallion, respectively) enough time to stop Prince Charming and Fairy Godmother from having Fiona "wed" the former (due to thinking that Fiona ingested a brainwashing serum inside her tea that had been laced on Fairy Godmother's orders). Also has a degree of anti-feminist messaging due to Fairy Godmother clearly adhering to the feminist view on things.<br />

|Portrays the liberal [[Environmental Protection Agency|EPA]] as a villainous and devious agency, and portrays the Government in general as intrusive and corrupt, and also features a key element of the story where Homer attempts to redeem himself of his more unpleasant nature, and Flanders' attempts at helping the Simpson family, in particular Bart, are treated positively. On the other hand, it also promotes [[environmentalism]] in the beginning, and also had Arnold Schwarzenegger as the president of the United States despite his legally not being eligible for the presidency due to being Austrian. There is also a brief sight gag where two homosexual policemen proceeded to make out in an alley by the motel the Simpson family was hiding at, with Marge narrowly escaping being spotted by them. In addition, the early part of the film has Homer twice making statements that implied a more atheistic outlook relating to Christianity: The first just as the Simpsons arrive at Church while running late where Homer mouths off "Relax, those pious morons are too busy talking to their phony-baloney God."; the second when Abraham Simpson ends up getting a divinely inspired vision about Springfield's potential future, where Homer, consulting the bible in a panic, yells "I can't! This book has no answers!" Overall, it's as debatable in terms of its Conservatism as the TV show it acted as a movie for.<br />

|Although it overall depicts the Military in a positive light and arguably is pro-war and pro-military, the director of the film, Paul Verhoeven, implied it was actually supposed to push an anti-military, anti-war message where it implied that America during the Cold War were automatically fascists simply because they are entering war, and specifically stated it was "a natural evolution for post-World War II America." In addition, to reinforce Verhoeven's message, he deliberately modeled various scenes after ''Triumph of the Will'' and other pro-Nazi propaganda scenes, as well as modeled the protagonists' uniforms after the uniforms utilized by the Nazis (i.e., the character Carl, played by Neil Patrick Harris, wearing a uniform that was modeled after the [[SS]]). When asked by Michael Ironside, who was one of the people who had a role in the movie and had read the original book, about why he made the movie despite Verhoeven's leftist politics, he answered "If I tell the world that a right-wing, fascist way of doing things doesn't work, no one will listen to me. So I'm going to make a perfect fascist world: everyone is beautiful, everything is shiny, everything has big guns and fancy ships, but it's only good for killing ******* bugs!" (note that fascism is not "right wing", it is left wing, so Verhoeven's incorrect regarding which wing the Nazis/fascists were part of).<br />

|''Who Framed Roger Rabbit''<br />
|1988<br />
|PG (Should be PG-13)<br />
|A loose live-action/animation adaptation on the book ''Who Censored Roger Rabbit?'' by Gary Wolf. On the one hand, the movie contains many innuendos and crude humor, the antagonist Judge Doom is a capitalist, and the relationship between a toon rabbit and a toon human may be seen as promoting bestiality. On the other hand, the movie depicts marital fidelity in a positive light, as initial signs of Jessica Rabbit's infidelity are in fact part of the antagonist's plot and in reality she actually cares very deeply about her husband (it should also be noted that in the book the film was based on, Jessica was extremely unfaithful to Roger Rabbit, and enjoyed being a porn star, even outright using Roger for stardom. Later additions to the story altered this characterization to be closer to the film and had the initial version be part of a nightmare Jessica had). The film also contains an anti-alcoholism message not present in the original novel in which Eddie Valiant becomes a heavy drinker after the death of his brother (in the original novel, Eddie was just a drinker and didn't have a brother) but eventually pours the alcohol out of the flask that he carries in his holster.<br />
<br />
The film also has an anti-prejudice message done right. Prejudice against toons was used as an allegory for historic racism (the film is set in 1946, when systemic racism was actually still relevant). Eddie's prejudice against toons, however, was more personal: a toon killed his brother. Getting to know Roger and Jessica Rabbit is what changes his mind about toons and Roger helps him get his sense of humor back.<br />

|A remake to the 1968 film of the same name (itself derived from Helen Beardsley's then-in-development autobiography ''Who Gets the Drumstick?''), the film is about a widower father of a conservative family who marries a widowed mother of a liberal family. Their two difference lifestyles contradict with each other, and the film does not really pick a side of on whose lifestyle is better. However, it does have a scene where the liberal kids outsmart the conservative kids (By tricking them into thinking there is a fire and then getting to use the bathrooms to themselves). Also, has a scene where the kids work together and use conservative tactics to end bullying without the help of an authority figure. In the end, the kids learn to put their differences aside and realize that family is what matters more.<br />

|Charles Bronson plays Leo Kessler, a cop trying to catch a serial killer rapist, while the bureaucrats do everything to defend him. The film feels like a poor man's Dirty Harry and many critics pointed out that Charles Bronson seemed to be playing a clone of his former character Paul Kersey from the ''[[Death Wish]]'' franchise.<br />

|Although the previous ''Die Hard'' movies were largely politically neutral, this film portrays the CIA in a positive light, and both the main and surprise villains are unrepentant, anti-American former Soviet Communists who intended to access Cold War-era weapons grade uranium and sell them on the black market. Plus, the film is pro-family due to John McClain trying to reconnect with his son Jack. Despite this, it was largely a box office failure, and it has fairly weak story elements.<br />

|Was another entry into then-Disney CEO Michael Eisner's infamous Direct to Video sequel line, and as such also has evidence of it being poorly made. But on the other hand, it also has similar themes to ''Return of Jafar'' regarding forgiveness and redemption in regards to the titular character. It also is notable as having a pro-traditional marriage message due to Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding factoring into a large part of the plotline, with it also being implied that the kingdom of Agrabah may have held Coptic Christianity as its main religion, one of the few Disney productions during this time to feature such a message on marriage since ''The Little Mermaid'' back in 1989. In addition, it ultimately is pro-fatherhood in the form of Cassim, the titular king of thieves, who was Aladdin's father, and while the central antagonist, he is nonetheless depicted in a more sympathetic light as he became the King of Thieves simply so he could provide for his family, and ultimately was redeemed in the ending of the film.<br />

|''The Black Cauldron''<br />
|1985<br />
|PG<br />
|The film has some subtle Christian messages, as the Horned King, the main antagonist who tries to gain the Black Cauldron to rule the world, is depicted in a very Satanic light, and the character Gurgi ultimately sacrifices himself in order to stop the Horned King, eventually being revived shortly thereafter. Also shows a promotion of the concept of being humble, as Taran still considers himself a pig herder even with his role in saving the world. However, the film was a massive box office bomb, with a large part of the reason for it being underperforming being due to both the dark elements of the film, especially for a Disney-made film, and due to a huge amount of footage (at least ten minutes worth) being cut from the film by then-Chairman of Disney Animation [[Jeffrey Katzenberg]].<br />

|G<br />
|In Ice Age Alaska, an Inuit teenager named Kenai kills a bear out of revenge, believing that it caused the death of his oldest brother, Sitka. His people's spirits are displeased with him for this act and turn him into a bear, and he has to journey to a magic mountain to change back, bonding with a bear cub named Koda along the way. Family and friendship values are promoted in this movie in many ways. One example is Kenai and his brothers; they may argue and fool around, but they ultimately care for each other. Kenai also comes to care for Koda, even willing to stay as a bear at the movie's end to be with Koda. Even Rutt and Tuke - the comic-relief moose brothers - ultimately love each other, no matter how much they rattle each other's antlers. Revenge is rightly frowned upon, with Kenai's surviving brother Denahi warning him against killing the bear in revenge (unfortunately, he goes down the same path of [[vengeance]] when he thinks that the bear had supposedly killed Kenai until the last minute); when Kenai finds out later that the bear that he killed was Koda's mother, he feels genuine remorse for his actions and soon after admits to Koda what he had done. Unfortunately, the movie was critically panned and was the fourth-to-last traditionally animated Disney film. However, the movie (and, to a lesser extent, its 2006 sequel) still has a place in the hearts of its audience.<br />

As a mother, she literally sacrifices herself to Crain to help the children to move on to heaven (i.e. sacrificing her own needs for the good of her children). The film also acknowledges that heaven & hell exist as before Crain is defeated Nell says a one liner "purgatory's over, you go to hell". That being said, the film does choose style over substance (the exact opposite of what the film it's remaking did) and the 1990s CGI has aged poorly. <br />

|1997<br />
|G<br />
|Loosely based on the Greco-Roman myth of the demigod strongman Hercules, this Disney animation has some Christian messages like honoring one's father and the triumph of good over evil. In addition, contrary to how he is depicted in regular mythology, Zeus's characterization in the film was closer to that of the Biblical God. Unlike the original myth, in which Hercules was born as a result of Zeus's infamous womanizing actions with mortal women and Hera hated him due to this, Hercules in this film is the actual offspring between Zeus and Hera, putting family values first. Plus, he is raised a mortal this time because the main villain, Hades, has his minions abduct the then-infant Hercules and feed him a potion that drains him of virtually all of his godly potential in order to assassinate him and prevent him from striking down Hades in the future. Another reason why family is a major theme is that Hercules' disappearance greatly devastates both Zeus and Hera, and Zeus, upon learning that Hercules was alive, is greatly overjoyed to learn of his son's survival and admits he is his father. Lastly, the main villain, Hades, while humorous, is nonetheless depicted in a satanic light, and was reported to be based on former Disney animation chairman and staunch liberal [[Jeffrey Katzenberg]].<ref>http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19970622&slug=2545749</ref> However, it underperformed in theaters and with critics.<br />

He takes advantage of an opportunity to save a children's charity from being robbed by the Wet Bandits from the previous film, using man-made traps against them once more with some modifications. [[Donald Trump]] makes a brief, positive cameo, too, to help Kevin navigate his way through the Plaza Hotel. Family values return as Kevin once again wishes his family away but then misses them. Kate's maternal instinct returns as well because she is determined to find Kevin, even when others tell her there is no hope. Kate once again finds help from a charitable, sympathetic person (in this case, an NYPD officer), who helps her by bringing her to Rockefeller Center, where she finds Kevin. However, it was not as well-received as the first film: most of the criticism was directed towards the fact that it recycles most of the story elements of the previous film.<br />

|''How the Grinch Stole Christmas''<br />
|2000<br />
|PG<br />
|A live-action remake of the animated TV adaptation of the [[Dr. Seuss]] book of the same name. Overall, the film promoted many of the same themes as in the special and book, and also expanded on the implied redemptive themes of the special by revealing that the Grinch's hatred of Christmas dealt with being bullied, and ultimately overcoming that past and learning to enjoy Christmas. That all being said, however, the film suffered from production problems where studio heads forced in some raunchy, age-inappropriate jokes into the storyline, in spite of both director Ron Howard and Jim Carrey's insistence that they keep the film family friendly (and in the case of the latter, was careful to keep any ad-libbed humor family friendly) that ultimately harmed the quality of the film. This, alongside the Worst Liberal Movie Live Action Adaptation of another [[Dr. Seuss]] story, ''The Cat in the Hat'', doubling down on many of the aforementioned raunchy elements and pushing more left-wing material, eventually resulted in the Seuss estate placing a ban on Live Action adaptations of various ''Dr. Seuss'' stories.<br />

|''Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole''<br />
|2010<br />
|PG<br />
|In a world where owls live in different kingdoms, young barn owl Soren is inspired by the Guardians of Ga'Hoole, knightly owls who perform noble deeds. One night, he and his brother Kludd are snatched from their home while practicing flying and taken to a facility that forces owlets to build a contraption to achieve the Pure Ones' world domination. Escaping with an intelligent elf owl named Gylfie, Soren goes to find the Great Ga'Hoole Tree, meeting friends like eccentric burrowing owl Digger and boisterous great gray owl Twilight along the way, and warn its guardians of the danger awaiting their kingdom. Like the first three ''Guardians of Ga'Hoole'' books that the movie is based on, the movie shows friendship and a story of [[good and evil]] in a positive light, where the Guardians fight for the security and freedom of their home and the other owl kingdoms against the tyranny of the Pure Ones (which are barn owl supremacists similar to Adolf Hitler's Nazis, even having a scene invoking Hitler's aggressive speeches by having Metal Beak stoke his soldiers' hatred for non-barn owls). It also condemns abandoning family, for Kludd is quickly won over to the Pure Ones' side after falling for the High Tyto Metal Beak's queen, Nyra, abandoning Soren and being forced to work alongside the other brainwashed owlets. At the same time, he becomes a soldier in their army. Another case is Kludd going so far as to kidnap his baby sister and brainwash her for Metal Beak's cause, both shown in a horrible light. While the old veteran owl Ezylryb believes war is harsh and ugly (the books reveal this because his wife was killed in the line of duty during the War of the Ice Claws), he later fights valiantly alongside his fellow Guardians. However, the movie suffers from relatively weak storytelling, trying to tell an epic ''Lord of the Rings'' story in 90 minutes. A sequel was planned, possibly based on the following three ''Guardians of Ga'Hoole'' books, but the movie's flop led to its cancellation.<br />

|This photorealistic CGI remake of the 1994 film ''The Lion King'' - directed by the same director as 2016's ''The Jungle Book'' - retains the original film's messages, from faith and heroism to honoring one's father. Totalitarian rule is shown as negative in the form of Scar, who makes an alliance with the hyenas to take over the Pride Lands and overhunts alongside them (which is also a condemnation of poaching); this sets him up as an opposite to Mufasa when the latter earlier says, "While others search for what they can take, a true king searches for what he can give." Similarly, the movie expands upon the overhunting element from the original movie by revealing it had been done deliberately on Scar's orders, both to cull the numbers to ensure he remained on top, as well as out of spite for Sarabi refusing to be his queen, showcasing even more blatantly the negatives of megalomania and such being etched into totalitarian ideologies such as Communism. Hakuna Matata is also much more nihilistic in this remake, with Timon and Pumbaa explaining that life is a "meaningless line of indifference" until Simba finally manages to shake it off and take responsibility. That being said, the movie suffers from flaws like faces not being expressive enough and several important parts of the original being removed.

Tensions rise when Kiara falls in love with an Outlander. Although made during the infamous Michael Eisner era and was part of that era's direct-to-video sequel line, it also features the same pro-family and Christian messaging as in the original movie. Also features a condemnation against parental neglect/abuse and infanticide, as the main antagonist Zira frequently neglects one of the other antagonists, her eldest son Nuka (who is implied to be the actual male offspring for Scar unlike Kovu), and ultimately gets killed trying to win over her favor; and late in the film, when Vitani takes Kiara's words to heart and joins with the pride landers, Zira proceeds to threaten to kill her daughter in turn, which results in the remainder of the Outlanders proceeding to defect to the Pride Lands out of disgust towards the threat to her own daughter.<br />

|Similar to ''Ferris Bueller's Day Off'', the film showcases the public school system in a more negative light, due to one of the teachers letting one of the bullies, Dobbs, get away with stealing lunch money and later the same teacher punishing Max Keeble with a significantly and unreasonably large essay about rules for being tardied despite it being obvious that the only reason he was late was because one of the bullies, Troy McGinty, forced him into a swirly (due to his being dripping wet when he entered), as well as the principal of the school, Elliot Jindrake, who also acts as one of the main antagonists, explicitly hating children and only putting up with the school so he could get promoted to superintendent, as well as explicitly embezzling the school's budget, and also proceeding to punish Max for turning up late for an auditorium event even when, similar to the swirly incident mentioned above, it was very obvious that he only ended up late because McGinty proceeded to, in a similar manner to a cooking show, humiliate him by throwing him into a mud pool, putting saw dust on him, and then forcing him into a dumpster (due to his being littered with trash when he walked in). It also has a bit of an anti-socialist message due to the Evil Ice Cream Man being implied at one point to be a socialist (due to his insulting fellow antagonist Dobbs as a "capitalist tool.") and, as indicated by his nom de guerre, was not depicted in a positive light. Also has an allegory for the liberal elements of modern-day journalism as well, due to two of the characters who worked for the school yearbook proceeding to make events out to be even worse than they actually are (such as titling the first day as "Sheep Arrive for Slaughter"), not to mention usually uses the opportunity to actually photograph events of bullying rather than actually making any attempt to prevent it. Despite that, however, it largely was criticized for being bland and unoriginal, at least among adults, including some critics citing it as being too similar to ''Ferris Bueller's Day Off''.<br />

However, it got very low box office records due to a limited release in America which ultimately led to most other Pokémon films after it to be released as direct-to-video features (with only the dual-feature fourteenth movie, ''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'', the 20th movie, ''Pokémon The Movie: I Choose You'', and the 21st movie, ''The Power of Us'', ever seeing releases in theaters outside Japan since then, and even then only as limited theatrical releases), and its Japanese premiere was, until the Japanese release of the movie ''Hoopa and the Clash of Ages'', the worst performing Pokémon film ever.<br />
|$20.9 million<br />

|''The Return of Jafar''<br />
|1994 (VHS)<br />2006 (DVD)<br />
|G<br />
|It is the first of the infamous Direct to Video sequel era within Eisner's Disney, and has elements of very poor production values. On the other hand, the film has redemption and forgiveness as major themes of the story due to Iago, Jafar's henchman from the original film, ultimately embracing a change of heart and, after initially saving Aladdin simply so he could get into the palace, eventually proceeding to save Aladdin from Jafar twice with no expectation of a reward, and redeeming himself for betraying Aladdin out of cowardice. It also depicts people who steal from others for their own selfishness in a very negative light in the form of the co-villain Abis Mal.<br />

|''The Return of the King''<br />
|1980<br />
|UR<br />
|This early attempt to bring the third book of the conservative book saga ''The Lord of the Rings'' was plagued by low budget animation due to being a made-for-TV film.<br />
|<br />
|-<br />
|''[[Rise of the Guardians]]''<br />
|2012<br />
|PG<br />
|Four immortal guardians appear as Christ-like creatures, who jobs are to protect those children who believe in them. Two of the guardians are Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, based on Christian allegories. Also, contains a guardian leader known as "Man on Moon" a clear allegory for [[God]]. Despite this, however, the film was largely a box office failure despite making double of its $145 million budget due to its high production and marketing costs, being the first DreamWorks animated movie to lose money on a film since ''Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas''.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/feb/27/dreamworks-animation-job-cuts-guardians</ref> which ultimately served as one of the reasons why DreamWorks ended up laying off 350 employees.<ref>http://www.thewrap.com/movies/article/dreamworks-animation-lay-350-employees-79381</ref><br />

|''[[The Room]]''<br />
|2003<br />
|R<br />
|This independent drama takes place in one room and explores the love triangle among an amiable banker, his deceptive fiancée, and his conflicted best friend. It teaches against alcoholism and adultery, showing the destructive nature of liberal values. However, ''The Room'' has been critically panned for its acting, screenplay, dialogue, production values, score, direction, cinematography, and handful of unrelated and unresolved subplots. Regardless of its low domestic gross from its initial theatrical run, it has done much better in recent re-screenings, becoming a cult classic of sorts.<br />
|$1800 <br />
|-<br />
|''The Santa Clause 2''<br />
|2002<br />
|G<br />
|Promotes many of the same values as in ''The Santa Clause'', namely pro-Christmas and pro-family, and also has a redemption and forgiveness theme as well. However, the plot is left somewhat weak.<br />
|<br />
|-<br />
|''The Santa Clause 3''<br />
|2006<br />
|G<br />
|Like in the first two films, it promotes Christmas as well as family, and also has an anti-Envy message. However, the film returned poor sales, the overall plotline was very weak, and it was also criticized as only being made to make a quick buck.<br />
|<br />
|-<br />
|''Shrek the Third''<br />
|2007<br />
|PG<br />
|The movie condemns totalitarian dictatorships and Hollywood values in the form of Prince Charming, who, after recruiting various villains to aid him in taking over Far Far Away, had the kingdom become dystopic and forces the kingdom to watch a "play" he made as a subtle method of executing Shrek. In addition, it's also pro-family, as Shrek seeks out Arthur, Fiona's cousin, to take the throne after her father died of an ailment and gives some heart-felt advice regarding taking up the responsibility. Shrek ultimately resolves to be a father to his to-be-born kids after learning that Fiona is pregnant, despite having misgivings regarding being a father due to his own experiences with his father (who nearly attempted to eat him). It also condemns notions of revenge and has a redemption theme, as many of the villains ultimately gave up on being villains after Arthur convinced them not to be consumed by desires for revenge and to seek their original goals. Despite this, however, the film had some very questionable production methods, and the plotline was fairly weak.<br />
|$799 million<br />
|-<br />
|''Space Jam''<br />
|1996<br />
|PG<br />
|Basketball star Michael Jordan uses the help of the Looney Tunes to beat back alien invaders from outer space who wish to take away their freedoms. Though the film hints at an anti-illegal immigration message, it suffers from messy animation and a lack of depth, and it is often cited as feeling more like a commercial than a film. A sequel called ''Space Jam: A New Legacy'' was released in 2021, starring pro-communist basketball star LeBron James. The movie also contains a song from [[R. Kelly]].<br />
|$90,443,603<br />
|-<br />
|''Stealth''<br />
|2005<br />
|PG-13<br />
|The film is pro-military and pro-American, with the North Koreans being portrayed in a negative manner. Also shows government corruption in a negative light in the form of a Washington lobbyist and the treacherous CO of the protagonists. Also has hints at a pro-War on Terror message as well. That being said, however, the movie was a critical and financial bomb, reputed to be among the worst box office losses at the time.<br />
|$76 million<br />
|-<br />
|''Superman Returns''<br />
|2006<br />
|PG-13<br />
|America icon Superman is seen as an angel-like figure, who helps those in need. Also condemns to some extent the liberal values within the news media, as Lois Lane's Pulitzer prize was earned due to her making a scathing article on Superman and implying the world doesn't need him, and it's revealed she made the article due to being upset at Superman leaving her behind before the events of the film. It is also pro-family, as the arc words throughout the film with Jor-El telling baby Kal-El via flashback that, even though he himself will die from the destruction of Krypton, he will not leave Superman's side, and that they'll grow stronger as one, with Superman giving a similar speech to his and Lois's son in the ending, and in addition, Lois Lane's husband, Richard White, was shown to be very protective of his family, even going as far as to take a chopper to save them while Superman was incapacitated. However, the movie also had some controversy over the director Bryan Singer's homosexuality, and while it did initially receive positive reviews, it ultimately became negative overtime, and resulted in there not being another Superman film until 2013 with ''Man of Steel'', which was treated as a reboot.<br />
|$200,081,192<br />
|-<br />
|''Super Mario Bros.''<br />
|May 28, 1993<br />
|PG<br />
|Loosely based on the classic video game series from Nintendo, two fraternal plumbers from Brooklyn, New York must rescue the younger's girlfriend from a parallel dimension ruled by humans descended directly from dinosaurs. The film may support the Second Amendment when an old lady, before mugging the brothers, explicitly states they need to have a weapon to survive on the streets of Dinohattan (a parody of Manhattan depicted as a lawless hellhole). Furthermore, the movie seems to condemn Communistic/fascistic big government in the form of King Koopa (a human-looking dictator loosely based on Bowser, the turtle-dragon hybrid who serves as the main villain of most Super Mario games). The aforementioned lawlessness of Dinohattan is heavily implied to be caused by King Koopa's using liberal values and big government (à la Scar from ''The Lion King'') to grossly mismanage the location to such an extent that he and his minions ran out of resources after taking over Dinohattan via a coup and "reformed" it into a people's republic with false elections. To some extent, the movie condemns evolution and social Darwinism: although the backstory does involve dinosaurs evolving into humanoid creatures since they were sent to a separate dimension from that of humans, only the villains focus on this aspect and thus want to eliminate true humans.<br />
<br />
All that aside, the film was largely panned and recouped less than half its budget at the box office, and it is considered one of the more infamous examples of the inherent difficulties of adapting a video game into a film. Effectively, ''Super Mario Bros.'' scared Nintendo into never allowing the West to make another film based on any one of its game franchises or letting Disney have any direct role in any of its franchises besides distributing games based on them, instead granting Universal Studios the rights to build a Nintendo theme park at Universal Studios Orlando; and it ruined the directorial careers of Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel. Making the film took its toll on the actors, too, particularly Bob Hoskins (Mario), who stated in an interview years later that it was "…the worst thing I ever did", noting that he was stabbed four times, electrocuted, injured in one finger, and almost drowned during production. Likewise, in an autobiography, John Leguizamo (who played Luigi, Mario's younger brother) dedicates an entire chapter to the horrors of working on ''Super Mario Bros.'' and comments that he and Hoskins drank heavily during breaks to deal with the traumatic experience. Among the handful of editing errors is a specific shot that shows one of Koopa's guards slipping on slime that wasn't even present originally when the Mario Bros. revolted. This was the result of a deleted scene where Koopa, both due to his germophobic nature and as a further demonstration of the de-evolution chamber's properties, executes a technician by de-evolving him into primordial ooze for sneezing in his presence, explaining where the slime came from.<br />

|''Toy Soldiers''<br />
|1991<br />
|R<br />
|Trouble making boys at a boarding school must wise up and fight as their school is taken over by terrorists. However, the script is weak and borrows elements of ''Die Hard'' and ''Red Dawn''.<br />
|$15,073,942<br />
|-<br />
|''[[Treasure Planet]]''<br />
|2002<br />
|PG<br />
|Based on the Robert Louis Stevenson story Treasure Island, Treasure Planet has family values as Long John Silver steps up as Jim Hawkins’ father figure after his real father left him when he was a young kid. Also promotes redemption as Silver recognizes Hawkins is more important than Treasure as he saves him, and gives him some of the Treasure he got to rebuild his mother’s restaurant. Unfortunately, this movie is one of Disney’s biggest failures at the Box Office due to bad marketing and releasing it at a bad time.<br />
|$38,100,000<br />
|-<br />
|''Under Siege 2: Dark Territory''<br />
|1995<br />
|R<br />
|Casey Ryback, while on a train with his niece, Sarah, gets caught in the middle of another hijacking as the train is taken over by ex-military American mercenaries led by Marcus Penn. Their employer, Travis Dane, is a former weapons designer who uses the train as a mobile base to hack into his creation, the WMD satellite Grazer One, and use it to destroy Washington DC. Dane and Penn are revealed to have an extensive network of contacts with America's worst enemies, who pay them lots of money for their terrorist activities and Dane is especially amoral and depraved. He is willing to destroy a chemical weapons plant in Guanzhou, China, killing thousands, just to demonstrate the power of his weapon. He then uses it to destroy an entire passenger airplane just to kill a customer's ex-wife for extra money. <br />
<br />
The film overall depicts Ryback's heroism in a positive light and the villains' treachery and depravity in a negative light like the first movie. It also has a pro-family theme demonstrated by Casey's relationship with Sarah as well as Casey's regret for not making amends with his brother before his brother's death. However, it's very derivative of the first film, and also has an anti-WMD message with Grazer One and Tom Breaker's line "Sane people do not build weapons like this."<br />
|$104,324,083<br />
|-<br />
|''The Wild''<br />
|2006<br />
|G<br />
|The main moral is that character and strength comes from within, and that it does not matter where one comes from, to achieve this. This is also a pro-family film about a father lion who, along with his animal friends, goes to Africa to search for his son after he is accidentally taken away. The villains of the movie are wildebeests that are trying to change the food chain, by planning to eat the lions, and one could argue this could give the film anti-environmentalist message. However the movie did receive poor reviews, and the movie’s main plot about Central Park Zoo animals that go on adventures was unfavorably compared to the more successful and politically neutral animation film ''Madagascar'' which had been released the year before.<br />

'''Alaska''' became the forty-ninth [[state]] to enter into the [[United States of America]] in 1959. Alaska is not contiguous to the rest of the United States, bordering [[Canada]]'s [[Yukon Territory]] and province of [[British Columbia]] to the east. Its [[capital]] is [[Juneau]].<br />
<br />
Alaska's territory was purchased from [[Russia]] in 1867 by the [[Andrew Johnson]] administration for 7.2 million [[Dollar|USD]]; its vast [[oil]] and [[gold]] reserves have more than repaid the investment that was once ridiculed as "Seward's Folly," after [[William Seward|William H. Seward]], who was the [[Secretary of State]] who negotiated the purchase.<br />
<br />
Although it is the largest state by area, it is the third smallest state by population (larger than only [[Wyoming]] and [[Vermont]]). <br />
<br />
The state Constitution of Alaska, like all of the other 50 states, acknowledges God or our Creator or the ''Sovereign Ruler of the Universe''. It says:<br />
:''We the people of Alaska, grateful to God and to those who founded our nation and pioneered this great land, in order to secure and transmit to succeeding generations our heritage of political, civil, and religious liberty within the Union of States, do ordain and establish this constitution for the State of Alaska.''<br />

==Politics==<br />
[[File:E-ALSIB-Monument-w-flags-W.jpg|right|300px|thumb|The Heroes of Alaska-Siberia Monument on [[Magadan]].]]<br />
Alaska is a [[Republican]] stronghold with a [[libertarian]] streak.<ref>http://election.nationaljournal.com/states/ak.htm</ref> [[George W. Bush]] carried the state 59%-28% in 2000, 61%-36% in 2004, and [[John McCain]] 59%-38% in 2008. The legislature has split control, with Democrats in control of the state senate. In 2008 [[Mark Begich]] became the first [[Democrat]] elected to [[Congress]] from Alaska since 1974. Due to [[Ranked-choice voting]], which passed in 2020, the state very quickly had a leftward shift, with Alaska's At-Large district flipping and RINO Lisa Murkowski winning re-election in 2022.<br />
<br />
==Economy==<br />
Alaska's economy consists of three main sectors. Firstly, there are mineral resources, in the form of oil, coal, gold, silver, and a variety of other metals. Secondly, there is commercial fishing, primarily salmon, king crab, halibut, grey cod, and pollock. Finally, there is federal spending. Alaska receives more federal spending per citizen than any other state, getting about two dollars in federal spending for every tax dollar sent to the IRS.<br />
<br />
==Energy==<br />
[[File:Alaska-oil.jpg|thumb|300px|left]] [[File:Oil-symbol.jpg|thumb|300px|left]]<br />
Alaska has vast energy resources but low energy demand. Major oil and gas reserves are found in the Alaska North Slope (ANS) and Cook Inlet basins. The Alaska North Slope contains 14 of the 100 largest oil fields in the United States, and two of the largest natural gas fields. The North Slope's Prudhoe Bay field is the largest oil field in the country. Substantial coal deposits are found in Alaska's bituminous, sub-bituminous, and lignite coal basins. Alaska's numerous rivers offer some of the highest hydroelectric power potential in the country, and large swaths of the Alaskan coastline offer wind and geothermal energy potential. The oil and gas industry dominates the Alaskan economy, and production activities drive state energy demand. Nevertheless, overall state energy demand is low.<ref>See [http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/state/state_energy_profiles.cfm?sid=AK Energy Information Administration, State Report 2009]</ref> <br />
<br />
Alaska is the second-ranked oil-producing state (after Texas), if output from the Federal Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) is excluded from the state totals. Nearly all of Alaska's oil production takes place on the North Slope. The Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) transports crude oil from the frozen North Slope to the warm-water Port of Valdez, on Alaska's southern coast. From Valdez, tankers ship the ANS crude oil primarily to refineries in California and Washington State. Those refineries are designed to process the intermediate, sour (high-sulfur) crude oil from the ANS. Alaskan crude oil production has been in decline since 1988, when output peaked at over 2 million barrels per day. However, experts believe that large oil and gas reserves in the state remain untapped, and some have called for the federal government to open more public lands, including the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, for oil exploration and drilling. <br />
<br />
Demand for finished petroleum products in Alaska is low. Although Alaska has six refineries, most of them are “topping” plants that strip away lighter products from the TAPS heavy crude oil stream for internal refinery use. State motor gasoline demand is primarily met by refineries in Kenai and near Fairbanks. The use of oxygenated motor gasoline is required in the Fairbanks and Anchorage areas during their winter months. Jet fuel consumption in Alaska is high compared to other States. <br />
<br />
Due to harsh weather conditions that persist throughout most of the year, Alaska's oil infrastructure is particularly vulnerable to weather-related accidents and disruptions. The worst accident was not weather-related, however. It occurred in March 1989, when the tank vessel ''[[Exxon Valdez]]'' struck Bligh Reef and spilled at least 260 thousand barrels of oil into the Prince William Sound (some estimates put the figure at 30 million gallons, or over 700 thousand barrels<ref>Bluemink, Elizabeth. "Size of Exxon spill remains disputed." June 15, 2010. Anchorage Daily News. http://www.adn.com/2010/06/05/1309722/size-of-exxon-spill-remains-disputed.html</ref>). The cause of the accident is at least partially due to navigation errors of fatigued crew members, some of whom were allegedly drunk. Other factors contributing to the accident were navigational equipment failures, deliberate breach of navigational protocol, and an inadequate number of crew members on the vessel,<ref>Alaska Oil Spill Commission. "Spill: The Wreck of the Exxon Valdez: Implications for Safe Transport of Oil." February, 1990. http://docs.lib.noaa.gov/noaa_documents/NOAA_related_docs/oil_spills/spill_wreck_ExxonValdez_1990.pdf</ref><ref>Reprint of pages 5-14 of the AOSC reference, in an easier to read form. http://www.evostc.state.ak.us/facts/details.cfm</ref> and these findings led to new regulations and recommended changes in the oil industry, specifically with regard to transporting oil.<br />

<div>[[File:Waters Peacemaker.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Roger Waters on the official [[Ukrainian]] government's assassination list.]]<br />
'''Roger Waters''' is a singer, songwriter and lyricist, who often plays bass guitar, and sometimes guitars. He is primarily known for being one of the creative geniuses of the progressive rock band [[Pink Floyd]]. After leaving the band in 1984, he began a moderately successful solo career. Roger Waters is a well-known philanthropist who gives annually to various religious charities<ref>http://www.roger-waters.com/fallen.php</ref> On the other hand, he became infamous as a bigot.<br />
<br />
In February 2022 Waters told an [[RT]] interviewer that Russia was responding to [[NATO]] provocations: "This war is basically about the action and reaction of NATO pushing right up to the Russian border – which they promised they wouldn’t do when [[Gorbachev]] negotiated the withdrawal of the [[U.S.S.R.]] from the whole of [[Eastern Europe]]."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/roger-waters-defends-branding-joe-biden-as-a-war-criminal-hes-fuelling-the-fire-in-the-ukraine-3284791|title=Roger Waters defends branding Joe Biden as a war criminal: "He's fuelling the fire in the Ukraine"|last=Robinson|first=Ellie|date=7 August 2022|website=[[NME]]|access-date=|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220810230610/https://www.nme.com/news/music/roger-waters-defends-branding-joe-biden-as-a-war-criminal-hes-fuelling-the-fire-in-the-ukraine-3284791|archive-date=10 August 2022|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://ultimateclassicrock.com/roger-waters-joe-biden-war-criminal/|title=Why Rogers Waters Calls Joe Biden 'A War Criminal'|last=Rapp|first=Allison|date=8 August 2022|website=Ultimate Classic Rock|access-date=|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220810201200/https://ultimateclassicrock.com/roger-waters-joe-biden-war-criminal/|archive-date=10 August 2022|url-status=live}}</ref> In another interview, Waters said the invasion of Ukraine was "probably the most provoked invasion ever" and refused to "see Russia from the current [[Russo-phobic]] perspective".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Willman |first=Chris |date=2023-02-08 |title=Roger Waters Addresses U.N.

<br />
Waters was added to the [[Ukrainian]] [[neo-Nazi]] [[Myrotvorets|kill list]] in August 2022.<ref>https://dxczjjuegupb.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Selection_053-1024x768.jpg</ref> <br />
<br />
However he also criticized [[Putin]].<br />
In his 2023 address, given at the invitation of Russia, which Mr. Waters said had mounted an “illegal” invasion that he condemned in “the strongest possible terms.” But in his next breath, he said the invasion “was not unprovoked,” and condemned “the provocateurs just as strongly,”<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/09/world/europe/pink-floyd-roger-waters-ukraine.html Roger Waters of Pink Floyd weighs in on the war in Ukraine, again.], ''NYT'', Feb 9, 2023</ref> in "the strongest possible terms".<ref>{{Cite news |last=Nichols |first=Michelle |date=2023-02-08 |title=Invited by Russia, Roger Waters tells UN: Ukraine invasion illegal |language=en |work=[[Reuters]] |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/invited-by-russia-roger-waters-tells-un-ukraine-invasion-illegal-2023-02-08/ |access-date=}}</ref><br />
<br />
On 5 September 2022, the day after Olena Zelenska, wife of Ukrainian dictator Vladimir Zelensky, appeared on the [[BBC]], Waters published an open letter to her. He argued that [[the West]] should not support Ukraine with weapons, and that the West, led by the US, was interested in prolonging the war. He urged her husband to end the war based on the [[Minsk agreements]].<ref>[https://www.pressenza.com/2022/09/an-open-letter-to-mrs-olena-zelenska-from-roger-waters/ An Open letter to Mrs Olena Zelenska from Roger Waters], pressenza.com, 05.09.22, Independent Media Institute</ref> Waters's concerts in [[Poland]] were cancelled following the comments.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Easton |first=Adam |date=25 September 2022 |title=Roger Waters gigs in Poland cancelled amid Ukraine backlash |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-63026101}}</ref> <br />

Geffen first wrote that "a few days ago I moved house and as part of the move I also sorted through my huge record collection. When I got to your solo albums something in me prevented me from moving them to my new home. Today you turned up the engine of lies, hatred and anti-Semitism. Today you decided to hurt the women who were raped for not Injustice. Women who, like the other abductees, did no harm to anyone, just went to sleep in their beds. I believe that a large part of them listened to your songs."<br />
<br />
Geffen continued to attack: "How dare you tell the world that there were no rape cases? That there are no children in captivity? Who are you protecting, the devil? Let me remind you, on Friday of October there was a ceasefire, the next day 1,500 people were murdered, people were kidnapped and rape was committed, which has been proven many times.

<blockquote><small><br />
Roger,<br />
A few days ago, I moved. While packing, I sorted through my vast record collection, and when I came across your solo albums, something inside stopped me from taking them to my new home.<br />
I left all your albums, along with a few rusty spoons, a torn tablecloth, and a ripped curtain, in a dark room enclosed by walls stained with mold, just like your opinions. They belong there, alongside the rotting mold of humanity.<br />
Today, you jacked up your web of lies, hatred, and anti-Semitism; today, you chose to target the women who were unjustly raped in the Hamas invasion. Women who, like the other hostages, did no harm to anyone. All they did was sleep in their beds. I believe many of them listened to your songs…<br />
How dare you say there were no cases of rape? That there are no children in captivity? Who are you defending? The devil?<br />
Just to remind you, on October 6th, there was a ceasefire. The next morning, 1,500 people were murdered, and countless women were raped. This has been proved repeatedly. What conspiracy are you alluding to? You lost your father in the war against Hitler, but maybe there is a little something of Hitler in you?<br />
Between the lines of your hate-filled ramblings, I sense you are blaming the Jews for the loss of your father, but you need to rise above this primitive psychological association. Considering your age, your time could be put to better use…<br />
Or maybe it’s your ex-girlfriend, the Palestinian, Rula Jebreal. Are you still trying to impress her with your lies?<br />
A few years ago, I visited you at your home in the Hamptons. You asked if we could arrange a concert together, for Palestinians and Israelis, in Ramallah. I explained the technical difficulties in arranging for Israelis to cross into Ramallah. You wanted them to cross bearing candles, and I said, “Roger, I’m more concerned about them ever making it back alive from the concert…”<br />
So there you are, Roger, people were murdered and raped, without your concert, and without Israelis crossing into Ramallah.<br />
On the way to our meeting, I thought I was going to meet a pinnacle, and I returned to the apartment in New York feeling I had encountered a pit – a pit of ignorance, a ditch of attention-seeking, a crater of irrelevance.<br />
I pray for the return of all the hostages and await your apology to all the victims and captives of October 7th.<br />
You are a modern-day hangman, out of touch, and evil.<br />
Thank God we have Gilmour.<br />

Former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters on Friday defended his use of an anti-Jewish slur, after a documentary film said he had proposed writing the racist term on an inflatable pig used as a concert prop.<br />

The 37-minute film, titled “The Dark Side of Roger Waters,” was released by the UK-based advocacy group Campaign Against Antisemitism on Wednesday [September 27].<br />
<br />
The filmmakers interviewed Waters’ former bandmates and staffers, who recounted anti-Jewish rhetoric from the rock star.<br />

The documentary also revealed a 2010 email in which Waters asked his crew if they could add antisemitic tropes to a stage prop for his concert tour.<br />
<br />
“Hey Guys, Who’s going to make [prepare the] pig?” Rogers wrote in the email, referring to a large inflatable pig that drifts over the audience at his concerts. Waters said he “imagined” the pig plastered with slogans including “dirty k##e,” a deeply offensive, racist term for Jewish people.<br />
<br />
He also suggested writing dollar signs, “follow the money,” “scum,” and Stars of David on the pig, among other slogans and symbols, according to the film.<br />

In a Friday statement posted to his website and shared on X, Waters appeared to confirm that the email was genuine, and did not apologize for using the term.</small></blockquote></ref><br />

'''Laos''' (Officially, "Lao People's Democratic Republic") is a [[country]] in southeast [[Asia]], bordering [[Cambodia]], [[Vietnam]], [[Thailand]], and [[Myanmar]]. Laos aided American forces during the [[Vietnam War]]. Its capital is Vientiane.<br />
<br />
==People==<br />
Laos' population was estimated at 6.5 million in mid-2007, dispersed unevenly across the country. Most people live in valleys of the Mekong River and its tributaries. Vientiane prefecture, the capital and largest city, had about 711,919 residents in 2006. The country's population density was 27/km<sup>2</sup>. <br />
<br />
About half the country's people are ethnic Lao, the principal lowland inhabitants as well as the politically and culturally dominant group. The Lao are descended from the Tai people who began migrating southward from China in the first millennium A.D. Mountain tribes of Hmong-Yao and Tibeto-Burman (Kor and Phounoy), as well as Tai ethno-linguistic groups, are found in northern Laos. Until recently, they were known as Lao Sung or highland Lao. In the central and southern mountains, Austro-Asiatic (Mon-Khmer and Viet-Muong) tribes, formerly known as Lao Theung or mid-slope Lao, predominate. Some Vietnamese and Chinese minorities remain, particularly in the towns, but many left in two waves — after partial independence in the late 1940s and again after 1975. <br />
<br />
The predominant religion is [[Theravada Buddhism]]. Animism is common among the mountain tribes. [[Buddhism]] and spirit worship coexist easily. There also are a small number of [[Christians]] and [[Muslims]]. <br />
<br />
The official and dominant language is Lao, a tonal language of the Tai linguistic group. Minorities speak an assortment of Mon-Khmer, Hmong-Yao, and Tibeto-Burman languages. French, once common in government and commerce, has declined in usage, while knowledge of English—the language of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)—has increased in recent years. The government is encouraging officials and students to learn English. High school students are required to take either French or English; the majority today choose English. The government plans to introduce English at the primary school level by 2010. <br />
*Population (2007 est.): 6.5 million.<br />
*Annual growth rate (2007): 2.4%.<br />
*Ethnic groups: Tai-Kadai language family (6 ethnic groups)--66.2%; Austro-Asiatic (Mon-Khmer and Viet-Muong) language family (30 ethnic groups)--22.8%; Hmong-Yao (2 ethnic groups)--7.4%; Tibeto-Burman (8 ethnic groups)--2.7%; other ethnic groups (including Vietnamese and Chinese)--0.9%.<br />
*Religions: Buddhism—65%; Christianity—1.3%; others (including animism, Baha'i, and Islam)—33.7%.<br />
*Languages: Lao (official), French, English, and various ethnic languages.<br />
*Education: Literacy—69%.<br />
*Health (2007): Infant mortality rate—81.4/1,000. Life expectancy—56 years. <br />
*Workforce (2.1 million, 2006): Agriculture—78.5%; industry and services—21.5% (2006). <br />
<br />
==Government and Political Conditions==<br />
The only legal political party is the Lao People's Revolutionary Party (LPRP). The head of state is President Choummaly Sayasone. The head of government is Prime Minister Bouasone Bouphavanh. Government policies are determined by the party through the all-powerful eleven-member Politburo and the 55-member Central Committee. Important government decisions are vetted by the Politburo. <br />
<br />
Laos adopted its Constitution in 1991, amending it most recently in 2003. The National Assembly, which has added seats at every election, approves all new laws, although the executive branch retains the authority to issue binding decrees. The most recent elections took place in June 2006, when the National Assembly was expanded to 115 members. Laos has enacted a number of new laws in recent years, but the country is still governed largely through the issuance of decrees. <br />
<br />
Since the end of the Indochina conflict, a low-level insurgency against the regime has continued. Incidents have included a series of bombings in Vientiane during the summer of 2000 and renewed spikes of violence in 2003 and 2004 against various types of land transportation and public markets. There were reports of continued fighting in 2005 and 2007. In late 2006 and 2007, several hundred former fighters and family members surrendered to Lao authorities. The United States does not endorse or support violent activities carried out against the Lao Government. <br />
<br />
===Principal Government Officials=== <br />
*President—Choummaly Sayasone<br />
*Prime Minister—Thongsing Thammavong<br />
*Ambassador to the U.S.—Phiane Philakone<br />
*Permanent Representative to the UN—Kanika Phommachanh <br />
<br />
===Foreign Relations===<br />
The government that assumed power in December 1975 aligned itself with the Soviet bloc and adopted a hostile posture toward the West. In ensuing decades, Laos maintained close ties with the former Soviet Union and its eastern bloc allies, and depended heavily on the Soviet Union for most of its foreign assistance. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, Laos has sought to improve relations with its regional neighbors. Laos was admitted into the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in July 1997 and applied to join the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1998. The government hopes to accede to the WTO by 2010. Currently, Laos' foreign policy concentrates on its immediate neighbors. Laos generally maintains a low profile in the larger international arena, although it has been playing an increasing role in activities of the Non-Aligned Movement. <br />
<br />
Laos maintains a "special relationship" with Vietnam and formalized a 1977 treaty of friendship and cooperation that created tensions with China. Although the two were allies during the Vietnam War, the China-Vietnam conflict in 1979 led to a sharp deterioration in Sino-Lao relations. These relations began to improve in the late 1980s. In 1989 Sino-Lao relations were normalized. Today China is becoming a major player in Laos; Chinese investment in Laos is increasing at a rapid rate, bringing with it a growing number of Chinese workers. Thailand remains the largest single foreign investor in Laos. In 2003, Laos and Thailand signed agreements to cooperate on cross-border, labor, and counternarcotics issues. Laos and Thailand signed a joint communique in March 2007, the first in 20 years, covering infrastructure development, avian influenza, border control, and Hmong migration issues. <br />
<br />
Laos is a member of the following international organizations: Agency for Cultural and Technical Cooperation (ACCT), Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA), ASEAN Regional Forum, Asian Development Bank, Colombo Plan, Economic and Social Commission for Asia and Pacific (ESCAP), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), G-77, International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank), International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), International Development Association (IDA), International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), International Finance Corporation (IFC), International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, International Labor Organization (ILO), International Monetary Fund (IMF), Interpol, International Olympic Commission (IOC), International Telecommunications Union (ITU), Mekong River Commission (MRC), Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA), UN, United Nations Convention on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), United Nations Educational, Social and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), Universal Postal Union (UPU), World Federation of Trade Unions, World Health Organization (WHO), World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), World Meteorological Organization (WMO), World Tourism Organization, and World Trade Organization (observer). <br />
<br />
==Economy==<br />
Laos is a poor, landlocked country with an inadequate infrastructure and a largely unskilled work force. The country's per capita income in 2006 was estimated to be $572. Agriculture, mostly subsistence rice farming, dominates the economy, employing an estimated 78% of the population and producing 43.4% of GDP. Domestic savings are low, forcing Laos to rely heavily on foreign assistance and concessional loans as investment sources for economic development. In 2006, donor-funded programs accounted for 13% of GDP and 70% of the capital budget. In 2006, the country's foreign debt was estimated at $3.2 billion. <br />
<br />
Following its accession to power in 1975, the communist government imposed a harsh, Soviet-style command economy system, replacing the private sector with state enterprises and cooperatives; centralizing investment, production, trade, and pricing; and creating barriers to internal and foreign trade. Within a few years, the Lao Government realized its economic policies were preventing, rather than stimulating, growth and development. No substantive reform was introduced, however, until 1986 when the government announced its "new economic mechanism" (NEM). Initially small in scale, the NEM was expanded to include a range of reforms designed to create conditions conducive to private sector activity. Prices set by market forces replaced government-determined prices. Farmers were permitted to own land and sell crops on the open market. State firms were granted increased decision-making authority and lost most of their subsidies and pricing advantages. The government set the exchange rate close to real market levels, lifted trade barriers, replaced import barriers with tariffs, and gave private sector firms direct access to imports and credit. <br />
<br />
In 1989, the Lao Government reached agreement with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund on additional reforms. The government agreed to expand fiscal and monetary reform, promote private enterprise and foreign investment, privatize or close state firms, and strengthen banking. In addition, it agreed to maintain a market exchange rate, reduce tariffs, and eliminate unneeded trade regulations. A liberal foreign investment code was enacted and appears to be slowly making a positive impact in the market. The process of economic reform continues. <br />
<br />
These reforms led to increased availability of goods and economic growth that has continued since the early 1990s, despite short-term economic setbacks resulting from the 1997 Asian financial crisis. The economy continues to be dominated by an unproductive agricultural sector operating largely outside the money economy, and the public sector continues to play an important role. Tourism is a growing industry and important source of foreign exchange. The Government of Laos is promoting infrastructure development, especially in the hydropower and mining sectors. Several large hydropower projects currently under construction are expected to increase national revenue significantly once completed. <br />
<br />
International indices rate Laos poorly on transparency and ease of doing business. Corruption continues to hamper economic development. Laos has begun the World Trade Organization accession process, with the intention of joining that organization by 2010. <br />

<br />
==History==<br />
[[Image:Katmandu Pagoda, Laos.JPG|thumb|270px|Katmandu Pagoda.]]<br />
Laos traces its first recorded history and its origins as a unified state to the emergence of the Kingdom of Lan Xang (literally, "million elephants") in 1353. Under the rule of King Fa Ngum, this powerful and wealthy kingdom covered much of what today is Thailand and Laos. His successors, especially King Setthathirat in the 16th century, helped establish Buddhism as the predominant religion of the country. <br />
<br />
By the 17th century, the kingdom of Lan Xang entered a period of decline marked by dynastic struggle and conflicts with its neighbors. In the late 18th century, the Siamese (Thai) established [[suzerain]]ty over much of what is now Laos. The region was divided into principalities centered on Luang Prabang in the north, Vientiane in the center, and Champassak in the south. Following their colonization of Vietnam, the French supplanted the Siamese and began to integrate all of Laos into the French empire. The Franco-Siamese treaty of 1907 defined the present Lao boundary with Thailand. <br />
During World War II, the Japanese occupied French Indochina, including Laos. King Sisavang Vong of Luang Prabang was induced to declare independence from France in 1945, just prior to Japan's surrender. During this period, nationalist sentiment grew. In September 1945, Vientiane and Champassak united with Luang Prabang to form an independent government under the Free Laos (Lao Issara) banner. The movement, however, was short-lived. By early 1946, French troops reoccupied the country and conferred limited autonomy on Laos following elections for a constituent assembly. <br />
During the first Indochina war between France and the communist movement in Vietnam, Prince Souphanouvong formed the Pathet Lao (Land of Laos) resistance organization committed to the communist struggle against colonialism. Laos was not granted full sovereignty until the French defeat by the Vietnamese and the subsequent Geneva peace conference in 1954. Elections were held in 1955, and the first coalition government, led by Prince Souvanna Phouma, was formed in 1957. The coalition government collapsed in 1958, amidst increased polarization of the political process. Rightist forces took over the government. <br />
<br />
In 1960, Kong Le, a paratroop captain, seized Vientiane in a coup and demanded the formation of a neutralist government to end the fighting. The neutralist government, once again led by Souvanna Phouma, was not successful in holding power. Rightist forces under Gen. Phoumi Nosavan supplanted it later that same year. Subsequently, the neutralists allied themselves with the communist insurgents and began to receive support from the Soviet Union. Phoumi Nosavan's rightist regime received support from the United States. <br />

A second Geneva conference, held in 1961–62, provided for the independence and neutrality of Laos. Soon after accord was reached, the signatories accused each other of violating the terms of the agreement, and with [[superpower]] support on both sides, the [[civil war]] soon resumed. Although Laos was to be neutral, a growing American and North Vietnamese military presence in the country increasingly drew Laos into the second Indochina war (1954–75). For nearly a decade, Laos was subjected to extremely heavy bombing as the U.S. sought to interdict the portion of the Ho Chi Minh Trail that passed through eastern Laos. Unexploded ordnance, particularly [[cluster munition]]s, remains a major problem. <br />
In 1972, the communist People's Party renamed itself the Lao People's Revolutionary Party (LPRP). It joined a new coalition government in Laos soon after the Vientiane cease-fire agreement in 1973. Nonetheless, the political struggle among communists, neutralists, and rightists continued. The fall of Saigon and Phnom Penh to communist forces in April 1975 hastened the decline of the coalition in Laos. Several months after these communist victories, the Pathet Lao entered Vientiane. On December 2, 1975, the king abdicated his throne and the communist Lao People's Democratic Republic (LPDR) was established. <br />
<br />
The new communist government imposed centralized economic decision-making and broad security measures, including control of the media and the arrest and incarceration of many members of the previous government and military in "re-education camps." These draconian policies and deteriorating economic conditions, along with government efforts to enforce political control, prompted an exodus of lowland Lao and ethnic Hmong from Laos. About 10% of the Lao population sought refugee status after 1975, many of whom resettled in third countries, including the United States. From 1975 to 1996, the U.S. resettled some 250,000 Lao refugees from Thailand, including 130,000 Hmong. The last major resettlement to the United States of about 15,000 Hmong from the Wat Tham Krabok camp was in 2004. <br />
<br />
Over time, the Lao Government closed the re-education camps and released most political prisoners. By the end of 1999, more than 28,900 Hmong and lowland Lao had voluntarily repatriated to Laos—3,500 from China and the rest from Thailand. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) monitored returnees for a number of years and reported no evidence of systemic persecution or discrimination against returnees per se. UNHCR closed its Laos office at the end of 2001.<br />

<div>'''Oakland''' is an extremely liberal high crime city in [[California]]. The population is about 400,000. Oakland forms part of the [[San Francisco]] Bay Area metropolitan area, which together has a population of over 7 million, making it the sixth largest metropolitan area in the United States. To Oakland's north is Berkeley, and to the west across the [[San Francisco Bay]] and the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge is San Francisco. <br />
<br />
Tourist attractions include Jack London Square, which features a statue to the famous [[American]] author who spent time in this city.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
In the early 20th century Oakland had the reputation as one of the best planned cities in the nation, with beautiful parks and green belts, and excellent public transit. Progressive politicians included [[Earl Warren]], the district attorney who became governor and Chief Justice, and the Knowland family, including [[Joseph R. Knowland]] (1873-1966) and [[William F. Knowland]] (1908-1974), the powerful leader of Republicans in the U.S. Senate in 1953-1959. [[File:Oakland1.jpg|thumb|280px|Downtown Oakland in 1930s]]<br />
After 1945 it endured decades of ethnic and class turmoil, gaining a sad reputation for crme and left-wing radicalism. The quixotic former governor [[Jerry Brown]] (b. 1938) as mayor 1998-2006 helped rebuild business confidence and restore a bit of sanity.<br />
<br />
Oakland was the western terminus of the transcontinental railroad that opened in 1869 (passengers were then ferried to San Francisco). In the late 19th century it was the second city in California, with a strong base in railroads, port facilities, shipbuilding and manufacturing. <br />
<br />
===The Jewish Community===<br />
Oakland has always been a multiethnic community. American Jews played a prominent role, and were among the pioneers of Oakland in the 1850s. In the early years, the Oakland Hebrew Benevolent Society, founded in 1862, was the religious, social, and charitable center of the community. Later, the first synagogue, founded in 1875, took over the religious and burial functions. Jews from Poland or Prussian-occupied Poland predominated in the community, and most of them worked in some aspect of the clothing industry. David Solis-Cohen, the noted author, was a leader in the Oakland Jewish community in the 1870s. <br />
<br />
In 1879 Oakland's growing Jewish community organized a second congregation, a strictly orthodox group, Poel Zedek. Women's religious organizations flourished, their charitable services extending to needy gentiles as well as Jews. Oakland Jewry was part of the greater San Francisco community, yet maintained its own character. In 1881 the First Hebrew Congregation of Oakland, elected Myer Solomon Levy as its rabbi. The London-born Levy practiced traditional Judaism. <br />
<br />
Oakland's Jews were pushed hard to excel in school, both secular and religious. Fannie Bernstein was the first Jew to graduate from the University of California at Berkeley, in 1883. First Hebrew Congregation sponsored a Sabbath school which had 75 children in 1887. <br />
<br />
Oakland Jewry was active in public affairs and charitable projects in the 1880s. Rabbi Myer S. Levy was chaplain to the state legislature in 1885. The Daughters of Israel Relief Society continued its good works both inside and outside the Jewish community. Beth Jacob, the traditional congregation of Old World Polish Jews, continued its separate religious practices while it maintained friendly relations with the members of the first Hebrew Congregation. <br />
<br />
Able social and political leadership came from David Samuel Hirshberg. Until 1886 he was an officer in the Grand Lodge of B'nai B'rith. He served as Under Sheriff of Alameda County in 1883 and was active in Democratic party affairs. In 1885 he was appointed Chief Clerk of the US Mint in San Francisco. As a politician, he had detractors who accused him of using his position in B'nai B'rith to foster his political career.<ref>William M. Kramer, "The Emergence of Oakland Jewry." ''Western States Jewish Historical Quarterly'' 1978 10 (2): 99-125, (3): 238-259, (4): 353-373; 11(1): 69-86; 1979 11(2): 173-186, (3): 265-278. Journal Issn: 0043-4221</ref><br />
<br />
When refugees from the fire-stricken, poorer Jewish quarter of San Francisco came to Oakland, the synagogue provided immediate aid. Food and clothing were given to the needy and 350 people were given a place to sleep. For about a week the synagogue fed up to 500 people three times a day. A large part of the expenses were paid by the Jewish Ladies' organization of the synagogue.<br />
<br />
===Knowland Family===<br />
The political career of Republican Congressman Joseph Knowland (1873-1966) ended in 1914 with his defeat for the US Senate. He retained until the 1960s his position of influence, however, in East Bay and California politics. In 1915 he became publisher of the Oakland Tribune. Knowland and Oakland's "Kelly Machine" inevitably clashed, first in 1923, over the selection of a new district attorney. The Knowland victory, which launched the career of [[Earl Warren]], hurt the Kelly forces, and the machine came to an end in a crucial 1930 election. In the mid-1920s Knowland and his newspaper ''Oakland Tribune'' were powerful forces in the East Bay, and successfully influenced the outcome of bond issues and governmental changes. Knowland's activity in the organizational life of the community, his experience as a politician, and his behind-the-scenes political activity all made the ''Tribune'' effective. His son [[William F. Knowland]] (1908-1974), used the ''Tribune'' as a base to become U.S. Senator and was a power in state and national affairs until he was defeated for governor in 1958.<br />
<br />
===Posey Tube===<br />
[[File:Ku-Klux-Klan-By-Democrats-For-Democrats-600x600.jpg|right|200px|thumb|The Klan was founded as the militant terrorist arm of the [[Democratic party]].]]<br />
The Posey Tube is the underwater auto tunnel that opened in 1928 to connect Oakland to Alameda. Designed by George A. Posey, chief engineer and surveyor for Alameda County, the tunnel incorporated many state-of-the-art ideas. In addition, the Art Deco architecture of the tunnel portals, designed by Henry Meyers, won praise for combining aesthetics and utilitarian functions. The only shortcoming of the Posey Tube was that the greatly increased automobile traffic went far beyond the estimates of peak load envisioned by the tunnel's planners. Still in use after almost seventy years, the Posey Tube is a monument to the age of the automobile.<br />
<br />
===KKK===<br />
In the 1920s the [[Ku Klux Klan]] was very active in Oakland. Klansmen reflected the overall native-born white male population in Oakland and had more representation among white-collar and skilled workers. Klansmen enjoyed political success in opposition to ethnic patronage for Catholics and machine politics, basing their appeal on local, specific issues such as road paving. The collapse of the Klan in the city came about because some Klan members gave in to the corruption of machine politics, not because the Klan had lost its socioeconomic base or support due to its ideological marginality.<ref>Chris Rhomberg, "White Nativism and Urban Politics: The 1920s Ku Klux Klan in Oakland, California." ''Journal of American Ethnic History'' 1998 17(2): 39-55.</ref><br />
<br />
===World War II===<br />
Oakland boomed in World War II, as an influx of black and white migrants taking jobs in shipbuilding drastically altered the demographic make-up of the East Bay, including the nearby cities of Berkeley, Alameda, and Richmond, which had previously consisted of mostly white lower- and middle-class communities. Most of the newcomers lived in newly constructed public housing that defined the patterns of racial and class segregation that lasted for the next quarter century. There was considerable political turmoil as the new residents sought to wrest control of local government from the white business establishment. This was especially apparent in Oakland, where reform-minded activism persisted through the 1950s.<br />
<br />
The housing policies of both the federal and local governments during the war encouraged the racial and ethnic tensions that still remain. The acute housing shortage that developed with an influx of workers for the shipyards forced the federal government to step in to assure wartime production. The programs turned working-class neighborhoods, which had been racially and ethnically diverse, into ghettos like those in eastern cities. At the same time, the Federal Housing Administration favored loans for houses in new all-white developments on the urban fringes.<ref>See Johnson (1994)</ref><br />
<br />
===Post war===<br />
In recent years, Oakland has become known nationwide for two things. The first is a 2009 police shooting at the platform of a local BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) station. The officer in question claimed that he was reaching for a Taser, but ended up grabbing his gun. This led to a period of civil unrest as the shooting of a young African-American man by a white police officer stirred up degrees of both racial tension and anger at the police department. The crisis was subsequently somewhat mismanaged by Oakland Police, leading to downtown protests and relatively small-scale rioting, including some looting. Some similar social unrest also occurred around the Occupy Oakland protests, up to and including a march that shut down the Port of Oakland, one of the major economic engines of the city. <br />
<br />
Oakland has also become a center for urban agriculture and the foodie movement. There are many groups growing food within the city, one of the foremost being City Slicker Farms, as well as several weekly farmers markets, and many gourmet restaurants featuring locally sourced food. This upswing in restaurants led to Oakland being named the fifth-best place to visit in the world in 2012 by the New York Times.<ref>http://travel.nytimes.com/2012/01/08/travel/45-places-to-go-in-2012.html?pagewanted=all</ref> <br />
<br />
Although not as nationally know for it as neighbor cities [[San Francisco]] and [[Berkeley]], Oakland is something of a [[liberal]] hotbed.<br />

<br />
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf ordered a [[hate crime]] investigation after Oakland Police identified five ropes they described as “nooses” hanging from trees at Lake Merrit, with the city government apparently believing that the ropes were akin to racial intimidation tactics and allusions to [[lynching]]s carried out by groups such as the Ku Klux Klan. The FBI was called in support of the investigation. A black man stepped forward stating that he and some of his friends installed the rope and small nooses merely for use as swings and exercise equipment. The nooses were used to attach a makeshift swing. “It’s unfortunate that a genuine gesture of just wanting to create a good time got misinterpreted," stating that he couldn’t see how anyone would view the small ropes as a hangman’s noose. The Democrat mayor however, refused to accept the word of a Black man and continued to claim the findings are indicative of a hate crime and continued the [[witchhunt]] for white supremacists invading Oakland.<ref>https://bigleaguepolitics.com/racial-panic-erupts-in-oakland-over-nooses-that-were-actually-exercise-equipment/</ref><br />
<br />
In February 2021 after the [[Biden junta]] took power, Oakland, California Chinatown residents complained of being treated as not human beings when Democrat city officials voted to defund the police and a spike in robberies and violent Anti-Asian [[hate crime]]s swept their neighborhoods.<ref>https://abc7news.com/oakland-chinatown-leaders-plead-for-more-police-protection/10289492/</ref> A 91-year-old Asain man was knocked to the ground outside the Asian Resource Center was caught on video.

<br />
==Unions==<br />
Unions grew rapidly under the [[New Deal]] and were not reluctant to challenge business for control of the city. The most serious strike came in May 1934, as dock workers and longshoremen along the West Coast [[Waterfront strikes|went on strike]] for better hours and pay, a union hiring hall and a coast-wide contract. Communists were in control of the union, the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA), led by Harry Bridges (1901-1990). The West Coast Waterfront Strike lasted 83 days with longshoremen returning to work on July 31. Arbitration was agreed to and it resulted in a victory for the strikers. and the unionization of all West Coast ports in the United States.<ref>Robert W. Cherny, "Prelude to the Popular Front: The Communist Party in California, 1931-35." ''American Communist History'' 2002 1(1): 5-42 online at [[EBSCO]]</ref> <br />
<br />
In 1946 the Retail Merchants Association (RMA) of Oakland refused to allow two member stores to negotiate with Retail Clerks Union local 1265. Workers from Kahn's and Hastings department stores retaliated by striking, and soon were battling not only their employers and the RMA, but also the city council and the Oakland Tribune, both controlled by powerful, antiunion publisher Joseph Knowland. When even the police joined the fray, 130,000 workers from 142 American Federation of Labor unions throughout the city took December 3–5, 1946, as a "work holiday" to support the strikers and protest police partiality. <br />
<br />
The general strike in Oakland was part of a nationwide series of strikes in 1946. The Oakland incident involved most city workers whole-heartedly endorsing a strike which for 54 hours shut down most economic activity in the city. Essential facilities were maintained at minimum levels while city leaders and national union officials worked to end the strike, but its official termination neither resolved smoldering issues nor penetrated worker discontent. In the 1947 municipal election a labor slate of candidates defeated the incumbents. <br />
<br />
Out of worker solidarity grew political activism. Together, Oakland's workers put labor members on city council, forced the RMA to accept collective bargaining, and created the progressive Oakland Voters League.<ref>Philip J. Wolman, "The Oakland General Strike of 1946." ''Southern California Quarterly'' 1975 57(2): 147-178. Journal Issn: 0038-3929</ref><br />
<br />
==African Americans, Marxism, and the Democrat party==<br />
[[File:Democrat_Gov._Jerry_Brown_with_Jim_Jones.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Gov. Jerry Brown campaigning with the [[Rev. Jim Jones]] of the [[Peoples Temple]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzyXNWYmfXg Jim Jones, The Most Admired Democrat of The 1970s, Censored Info], youtube</ref> Brown later served as Oakland mayor. Jones led more than 900 [[progressive]]s, mostly Black, in a mass suicide in the [[Jonestown massacre]].]]<br />
:{{See also|Anti-Asian hate crime}}<br />
In 1977 Oakland elected the city's first African American mayor, Lionel Wilson. He was reelected in 1981 and 1985 thanks to his support for civil rights, for business expansion, and for redevelopment of the decayed downtown, including major league teams in football, baseball and basketball. Conservative candidates have not fared well. For example, Ted Dang's loss in the 1994 mayoral race to African-American incumbent Elihu Harris can be attributed primarily to his inability to unite diverse Asian-American groups, his conservative emphasis in a predominantly leftist city, and an antagonistic campaign strategy that exacerbated racial tension. His antigovernment and negative themes ran counter to Harris's attempts to create an activist government and a strong multiracial coalition. Dang's failure to balance ideology, interest, and racial identification, lack of political experience, and overreliance on his campaign manager ultimately cost him the race. <br />
<br />
In the 1960s in West Oakland, an adjacent suburb, a conservative city council that believed economic and political problems would best be solved by increasing economic development. However, the minority population, 40% black and 10% Latino as well 10% Asian (from the 1970 census), insisted on a redistribution of existing wealth, which led to the establishment of their own representative governmental organs. Both factions eventually found it to their mutual benefit to negotiate in an institutionalized manner. <br />
<br />
Opposition to Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system encouraged West Oakland activists to create a strong local identity. BART supporters valued regional mobility and blamed ghetto poverty on the inaccessibility of suburban jobs. However black activists blamed BART for harming the ghetto poor by encouraging job migration to the suburbs and displacing residents. As compensation, they demanded that BART hire black workers and increase relocation payments. While West Oakland activists largely failed to influence BART, the newly unified community did gain local control of schools and urban poverty programs. <br />
<br />
The [[Black Panthers]], led by [[Bobby Seale]], had a major base in the city. ''The Black Panther'' newspaper was founded in 1967 in Oakland as the main vehicle of expression of the Black Panther Party. Devoted to the cause of radical black nationalism in the United States, the paper was developed not only as a means of reaching its local constituency but also as a means of gaining national media exposure. During its 12 years of existence, it served to give definition, form, and substance to a particular vision of black identity. Subsequent revivals of the paper in the 1990s demonstrated the continuing allure of the Black Panther movement and the relevance of its role in the black nationalist movement. <br />

Marcus Foster (1923 – 1973) was an outstanding black educator who gained a national reputation while serving as associate Superintendent of schools in Philadelphia, and as the first black Superintendent of the Oakland Unified School District. He was assassinated in 1973 by the Symbionese Liberation Army as a political statement against blacks who cooperated with whites.<br />
<br />
On the far left, Democrat [[Ron Dellums]] (1935- ), represented Berkeley and Oakland in Congress, (1971-1998). He became the chair of the powerful House Armed Services Committee in January 1993. A strong pacifist, his district nevertheless houses a major naval facility that faced closure in the current phase of downsizing the military budget. Dellums was thus placed in a curious position of being philosophically opposed to military spending but pragmatically defending his district's interests. He was the first African American elected to Congress from Northern California, and was replaced in 1998 by the equally militant, but much less powerful, Democrat Barbara Lee (b. 1946).<br />
<br />
On the night after the [[September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks]], former [[Obama administration]] official and [[CNN]] analyst [[Van Jones]] STORM organization held a [[vigil]] in Oakland, "mourning the victims of U.S. imperialism around the world." In a document entitled, ''Reclaiming Revolution: history, summation & lessons from the work of Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement'', Jones is quoted as saying,<br />
{{Cquote|That night, STORM and the other movement leaders expressed sadness and anger at the deaths of innocent working class people. We were angry, first and foremost, with the U.S. government, whose worldwide aggression had engendered such hate across the globe that working class people were not safe at home.

[[Assata Shakur]] is the former "queen" of the Black Liberation Army (BLA) terrorist group, who was convicted of the first-degree murder of a New Jersey State Trooper in 1973. She was convicted of [[murder]] and seven other [[felon]]ies. While serving a life sentence, she escaped from the Clinton Correctional Facility for Women in 1979. She was granted [[political asylum]] in [[Cuba]] in 1984 where she has lived ever since, despite US government efforts to have her extradited. She is on the FBI Most Wanted Terrorists list, under her maiden name [[Joanne Deborah Chesimard]]. BLM founders openly admit to being "trained Marxists".<ref>https://twitter.com/RitaPanahi/status/1273739801464725504</ref><br />
Garza is a black separatist and more recently was affiliated with the Marxist [[Freedom Road Socialist Organization]] that wants to carve out an independent [[nation-state]] in the Bay Area.<ref>[https://www.periscope.tv/w/1zqKVljlzyDJB ''Black Lives Matter Unmasked''], Lee Stanahan, 2020.</ref><br />

==Museum==<br />
The Oakland Museum, designed by architect Kevin Roche, is an unusual combination of indoor galleries and outdoor gardens. The landscaping of terraced plazas placed among the three museums was planned to relieve the fatigue of museum visitors. A million visitors annually enjoy the park-like environment. <br />
<br />
==Sports==<br />
In sports, Oakland is home to the MLB's [[Oakland Athletics]].<br />
<br />
It was previously the home of the [[NFL]]'s [[Oakland Raiders]] (which departed for [[Las Vegas]] after the 2019 season; prior to that the team departed for Los Angeles before returning to Oakland) and the [[NBA]]'s [[Golden State Warriors]] (which returned to its original California home in San Francisco beginning with the 2019-2020 season).<br />

'''Northern Ireland''' (Irish: ''Tuaisceart Éireann'', Ulster-Scots: ''Norlin Airlann'') is one of the constituent countries of the [[United Kingdom]], which also includes [[England]], [[Scotland]] and [[Wales]]. Geographically, Northern Ireland occupies the northern portion of the island of [[Ireland]], with the [[Republic of Ireland]] occupying the remainder of the island. The capital of Northern Ireland is [[Belfast]].<br />
<br />
Northern Ireland is much more [[conservative]] than the otherwise [[liberal]] UK. It prohibited [[same-sex marriage|homosexual "marriage"]] and abortion long after England, Scotland, Wales, and the Republic of Ireland imposed it throughout the rest of the British Isles. However, in 2019, the UK parliament bullied Northern Ireland into accepting it.<ref>Multiple references:<br />

== History ==<br />
=== Early Years ===<br />
Northern Ireland was created by the Government of Ireland Act 1920 and its existence effectively confirmed by the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1922, which formally concluded the Irish War of Independence. The country comprises six out of the nine counties in the province of [[Ulster]] - the six which contained majority Protestant (or balanced) populations in 1920. The three counties of Ulster with clear Catholic majorities became part of the Republic of Ireland. Northern Ireland was governed from Parliament Buildings at Stormont in [[Belfast]]; Northern Ireland also elected Members of Parliament to serve in the British Parliament in London. <br />
<br />
===The Craigavon era (1921-1940)===<br />
While [[Edward Carson]] had led the Unionist movement throughout Ireland, his right-hand man, Sir [[James Craig]] was more than able to take his place as leader of the Unionist movement in Northern Ireland. Craig acted as a broker between the Ulster Unionists and London in working out key details of the Government of Ireland Act of 1920. Craig helped reorganize the UVF as a separate unit to defend Northern Ireland against the IRA; this led to the formation of the Ulster Special Constabulary in November 1920. In 1921 there were pitched battles with IRA insurgents supported by Collins in Dublin. In January 1921 the new government of Northern Ireland began operations with Craig as Prime Minister.<ref>It moved to the Stormont estate in 1932, and was often called the Stormont government.</ref> Craig was helped by a weak Nationalist opposition - the Republicans and their more moderate Nationalist colleagues had been divided on how to deal with the new entity, as they wanted reunion with the South and not union with the UK. By contrast the Unionists were united and won repeated large majorities in the parliament (winning forty, compared to twelve seats combined for Nationalist and Republican candidates). Craig saw his priorities as establishing the new state on firm foundations; defending it against its enemies, within (who were loyal to Dublin) and without (the Irish Free State); preventing his over-zealous supporters from taking the law into their own hands (which might destabilize the state and bring intervention from London); and keeping a watchful eye on London, where Lloyd George by the spring of 1921 was anxious to reach a compromise with Sinn Féin.<br />
<br />
The Stormont parliament gerrymandered electoral districts to minimise Catholic representation. In 1929, the Unionists abolished the system of proportional representation, set up by the British Parliament and used the first past the post system used in Britain. The new system hit the smaller parties the hardest, with Labour and Independent Unionists losing four seats in the election.<ref>John Whyte, "How much discrimination was there under the unionist regime, 1921-68?" in ''Contemporary Irish Studies,'' edited by Tom Gallagher and James O'Connell (1983), [http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/issues/discrimination/whyte.htm online edition]</ref> When [[Eamon de Valera]] proclaimed Ireland was "a Catholic nation," Craig responded in 1934, that he stood for "a Protestant parliament and a Protestant state."<ref>Boyce (2004)</ref> In 1937 Éire approved a new constitution that claimed sovereignty over the entire island.<ref>Article 2 said "The national territory consists of the whole island of Ireland;" article 3 claimed the "right of the Parliament and Government established by this Constitution to exercise jurisdiction over the whole of that territory." Article 9 added, "Fidelity to the nation and loyalty to the State are fundamental political duties of all citizens." See [http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/issues/politics/docs/coi37a.htm#nation]</ref> With Éire claiming the entire island was rightfully theirs, Unionists were convinced that the Ulster Catholics were not loyal to King and country, and could not be trusted with responsibilities. Those Catholics who were elected to Stormont usually refused to take an oath of allegiance to the nation. Catholic protests at systematic discrimination in voting, housing and public resources formed the core of the civil rights movement in the 1960s. The historian of the Catholics asks, "how 'disloyal' were Catholics after partition?" and notes that Catholics who visibly supported the government were ostracized by other Catholics. She concludes, "It is certainly true that not until the 1960s were Catholics prepared to accept the legitimacy of the Northern Ireland state. But neither did they actively try to subvert it.... The bulk of northern Catholics remained, as they had always been, conservative, clerically-dominated, but utterly constitutional nationalists."<ref>Elliott, ''Catholics of Ulster'' (2001) p. 396</ref><br />
<br />
James Craig served as Prime Minister for an unbroken period of nineteen years, making this period popularly known as the 'Craigavon era', as he later became 'Lord Craigavon'.<br />
<br />
===World War II===<br />
The [[Great Depression]] was hard on the economy, with unemployment reaching 30%. In a total population of 1,280,000 (in 1937), regional unemployment was 72,000 in late 1940; it plunged to 19,000 (or 5%) by spring 1943. Full employment brought prosperity to all, and agriculture was mobilized for the war effort as well. In 1939 British Prime Minister [[Neville Chamberlain]]'s proposed military conscription in Northern Ireland; he was blocked by a common front of the government in Dublin, northern nationalists, and the Catholic bishops - as well as by the apathy of the Unionist rank-and-file. By 1941, to reinforce ties with Westminster, to ease unemployment, and to conceal the low level of loyalist enlistments the Stormont government again requested conscription. [[Winston Churchill]] rejected the drafting of Irishmen, due to adamant opposition from Dublin and objections from the United States. However, volunteering for military service was enthusiastic among the Protestants.<ref>Joseph L. Rosenberg, "Irish Conscription: 1941." ''Éire-ireland'' 1979 14(1): 16-25. Issn: 0013-2683</ref><br />
<br />
Northern Ireland was a vital strategic area of control for Britain during the war; its ports compensating for the loss of Ireland's ports under the 1938 revised treaty. Americans soldiers made a major economic impact and social. German air raids in April and May, 1941, killed 1,110 people with over 2,000 injured; over 50,000 houses were hit damaged and 100,000 people made homeless.<br />
<br />
Belfast, a vital industrial city, played a major role in the war providing ships, weapons, ammunition, army clothes, parachutes and a host of other equipment to the war effort. While Unionists in Northern Ireland were deeply and personally involved in the war effort, the Catholic communities were luke-warm at best.<ref>Philip Ollerenshaw, "War, Industrial Mobilisation and Society in Northern Ireland, 1939-1945." ''Contemporary European History'' 2007 16(2): 169-197. Issn: 0960-7773</ref><br />
<br />
Politics was in turmoil during the war. Craig's death (in November 1940) led to the unfortunate choice of John Andrews (1871-1956), the minister of finance; he was indecisive and refused to purge the old ministerial "gang." The Andrews government collapsed in 1943 under mounting criticism that it was incompetent. The lack of preparation for the German air raids of April–May 1941 alarmed everyone; other grievances rose from its mishandling of the conscription question, its temporary suspension of Belfast corporation, the upsurge in labour strikes, and the inadequacy of its post-war planning. The aristocrat Basil Brooke became prime minister, serving 1943-1963.<br />
<br />
===1945-1969===<br />
After the war the departure of Éire from the Commonwealth in 1949 brought constitutional assurance that Northern Ireland would remain part of the UK as long as a majority there so wished. The new Labour government in London worked well with the conservative Unionists in Belfast, for the Unionist Party welcomed the increased spending on welfare (which helped further differentiate it from Éire). Renewed economic growth helped ensure that the 1950s and early 1960s were Northern Ireland's most harmonious and promising years; its post-war experience contrasted starkly with the relative stagnation and isolation of the south. Unionist confidence led to the willingness of some party members to consider reform, as the political system had long been notoriously corrupt and inefficient. Meanwhile, the voting behaviour of the Catholic minority, its increasing political activism, and the collapse of the IRA campaign of 1956–62 all suggested that Catholics were becoming more reconciled to permanent partition, but they were still angry at the restricted local government franchise, gerrymandering, religious discrimination by government and business, and the inadequacy of state funding for Catholic schools.<ref>Barton, "Brooke" 2004</ref><br />
<br />
Brooke's refusal to initiate fundamental reform was due in large part to his concern for Unionist unity. Regarding the Catholics, his strategy was based on the hope that welfare programs and sustained prosperity would eventually dissolve their nationalist aspirations. Brooke rejected those Liberal Unionists who sought to recruit Catholics into the Unionist Party. He retired in 1963. Catholics always criticized anti-Catholic policies and resented James Craig's call for "a Protestant parliament for a Protestant people."<ref>Bardon, J. (1992). A History of Ulster. The Blackstaff Press, Belfast, pp. 539.</ref><br />
<br />
=== Civil Rights Movement ===<br />
Violently opposed to the existence of Northern Ireland was the terrorist group the [[Irish Republican Army]], or [[IRA]]. The IRA was originally formed to fight the British during the War of Independence. Many IRA members refused to accept the Anglo-Irish treaty's partition of the island into two separate countries, leading to the bloody Irish Civil War of 1922-23, in which IRA was decisively defeated. The new nation of Ireland officially claimed the whole island but unofficially recognized the existence of the north and did nothing to upset the status quo. However, the anti-treaty IRA forces continued to refer to themselves as the IRA after the civil war concluded, and to consider themselves the legitimate government of Ireland. <br />
<br />
During the late 1960s, partially inspired by the civil rights movement in the [[United States]], Catholics in Northern Ireland began to protest against perceived discrimination by the government. Protests were initially led by the [[Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association]], or NICRA, which was founded in January 1967. NICRA's demands included repeal of the Special Powers Act, the end of the paramilitary B Specials police force, an end to the [[gerrymandering]] in local elections, and an end to discrimination in terms of government housing and government employment.<br />
<br />
Protests typically took the form of marches or other demonstrations. One of the most important protests took place on January 1, 1969, when a group from the student People's Democracy organisation organized a march from Belfast to [[Londonderry]], intended to imitate [[Martin Luther King, Jr.]]'s marches from Selma to Montgomery. The march was repeatedly attacked by unionists (People wanting to retain the 'Union' of Northern Ireland with Great Britain), including off-duty policemen. The most intense violence occurred at Burntollet Bridge, where the marchers were attacked by 200 unionists while police did little to intervene.<br />
<br />
=== The Troubles: 1969-1998 ===<br />
"The Troubles" refers to a 30-year period of terrorism and civil unrest. The Troubles are generally considered to have begun with civil rights movement and the violent unionist response. Northern Ireland prime minister Terrence O'Neill at first responded favorably to the demands of the protestors, but this attitude was decried by other unionists, including [[Ian Paisley]]. Many unionists believed that NICRA was controlled by the [[IRA]]. Following the violence at Burntollet Bridge, nationalists in the city of Derry began to erect barricades to protect themselves. This led to the Battle of the Bogside between nationalists and police prior to a unionist march that was scheduled to pass the nationalist Bogside area of the city. The Battle of the Bogside lasted from August 12 to 14, 1969 before British troops were called to resolve the situation. In the meantime, fierce rioting broke out in other parts of the country, including Belfast, Newry, and Strabane. In total, 7 people were killed and 750 injured during the unrest in August 1969, and 1,500 Catholic families and 500 Protestant families were forced from their homes. The Northern Ireland government then requested the presence of British troops throughout the country to keep order.<br />
<br />
The violence of the Troubles peaked during the early 1970s, spurred by an influx of recruits to various terrorist organisations, including the republican [[IRA]] and the loyalist [[Ulster Defence Association]] and [[Ulster Volunteer Force]]. A number of events combined to widen the divide between the nationalist and unionist communities. For nationalists, these included the Falls Curfew of July 1970, in which British troops cordoned off nationalist neighborhoods in Belfast, not allowing residents in or out of the area; 4 nationalists were killed in fighting between British troops and the IRA. The introduction of internment without trial in August 1971 was viewed by nationalists as discriminatory, as 348 of the first 350 people interned were nationalists. Of nearly 2,000 people interned over the next four years, 94.6% were nationalists. For unionists, IRA actions similarly hardened their positions. For example, the IRA carried out 1,300 bombings by the end of 1972, largely against commercial targets, considerably disrupting everyday life and often resulting in the deaths of uninvolved civilians. The worst example during this period is known as Bloody Friday, when the IRA set off 22 bombs on July 21, 1972, causing 9 deaths and 130 injuries. The IRA provided warnings to security forces via the media, but given the number of bombs planted did not give sufficient time to allow the security forces to evacuate the areas. In some cases, ambiguous warnings led to people being led toward, rather than away from, bombs about to be detonated.<br />
<br />
In 1972 the UK government, deeming the Northern Ireland government unable to stabilise the situation, suspended the Northern Ireland parliament and instituted direct rule from London. While direct rule was intended as a temporary measure, it continued throughout the course of the Troubles.<br />

Although constitutionally the United Kingdom is a unitary state with one sovereign, parliament and government - there has been moves to give power to national legislature in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, this has taken the form of devolution. Power for certain areas of government like education, health and the environment are fully the responsibility of their national governments. However, central government maintains the right to overturn any decision by a national assembly, as such the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]] remains sovereign in the United Kingdom as a whole. <br />
<br />
=== Devolution ===<br />
The current political set-up in Northern Ireland stems from the [[Belfast Agreement]] of 1998 which provided for an elected [[Northern Ireland Assembly]] and a power-sharing [[Northern Ireland Executive]] to be jointly headed by the leaders of the main Unionist and Nationalist parties.<br />
