We have been played for fools by our adversaries regarding what we have committed to do with respect to "the Green Paris Crusade." It is not as serious as our panicked political crowd have implied and we are preparing to spend trillions which will raise our competitive costs, while our enemies continue to pollute. Snookered again by zealous politicians fearing if they do not go along with the radical crowd's demands they will not get re-elected.It is becoming clearer, purposeful propaganda was behind this created fear.

A good piece of writing from a witty Aussie, with tongue
Will the West’s obsession with Woke survive war in Europe? Or will Putin’s missiles finally explode the Never-Never Land of unreality in which we have been living?
It’s early days, of course, but so far, the West’s mythical land of prancing unicorns looks bulletproof.
Even as rockets rained down on Ukraine, Western elites worried about how the war would affect lgbtq, as if Putin might have developed queer-seeking missiles.
Others voiced concern that grandparents huddled in bomb shelters beneath the pockmarked streets of Kiev might not be social distancing.
The New York Times lamented that few of the Ukrainians fleeing for their lives were wearing masks. They probably weren’t triple-boosted either. And God forbid any of them were shot dead without first using a QR-code to check out.
Meanwhile, former US Secretary of State John Kerry expressed dismay at what he called the ‘emissions consequences’ of war in Europe. He would presumably be far more comfortable with the Russian invasion had their tanks first met strict European emission standards.
Kerry said he hoped Vladimir Putin would ‘stay on track’ with fighting climate change while fighting the Ukrainians. We can only hope the Russian army will sort the plastics from the metal bomb casings when they get around to removing corpses from the battlefield.
And here in Australia, Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews lit up Melbourne in the Ukrainian colors as ‘a show of support.’ If that doesn’t work, he will likely deploy a hashtag.
And if China invades Taiwan, he will (of course) paint the town red.
Those who say cockroaches are the only things that will survive a nuclear holocaust are wrong. On the evidence available so far, Woke – that virus of the mind which has turned Westerners into mindless, unicorn-chasing simpletons – will probably survive as well.
The Russians may well destroy Europe, and China may well dominate the Pacific, but they will never kill our stupid!
Nothing better illustrates the disconnect between the imaginary world of the West and the cold, hard reality that is right now marching toward Kiev than the fact that, just three weeks before the invasion, British troops were spending a day ‘reflecting on inclusivity’.
At the very moment Putin was surrounding Ukraine with rocket launchers, British soldiers were taking a break from tiresome military exercises to discuss ‘unacceptable behaviors’ such as bullying, sexual harassment, and racism.
Doesn’t Putin know we have the most diverse, equitable, tolerant and trans-inclusive militaries in the history of the world?
And he’s still messing with us?
If all of Europe descends into war, the Brits might not win, but by God they will be the best-behaved losers in military history. If only Putin would challenge us to a ‘Celebrate Diversity Day’, we’d kick his ass.
Western armies may well comprise the nicest soldiers you could ever meet on a battlefield. Just ask the Taliban.
‘Oh, you’d like a Black Hawk helicopter, would you? Here, have 33! And would you like Humvees with that? Have 27.’
Little wonder that, after watching American soldiers run away from a bunch of Afghani goat herders, Vladimir Putin decided to try his luck.
It’s not by accident that the acronym for the West’s favorite things – diversity, inclusion, and equity – is DIE.
Putin wants to fight. So much toxic masculinity.
If our military leaders want to discuss ‘unacceptable behaviors’, they might like to talk about their total unpreparedness for conflict.
For decades now, we in the West have imagined we lived in a post-war world. Conflict was, like, so last century.
With the loss of Christianity, we lost the doctrine of original sin; the idea that human beings – while made in the image of God – are fallen and so have a propensity toward evil. Instead of preparing for the inevitability of conflict, we embraced the illusion of the brotherhood of man and the perfectibility of mankind.
Singing John Lennon’s Imagine – as only a decadent culture would – we slashed defense spending so that we could focus instead on welfare and aged pensions and pet projects like wind turbines that, incidentally, would be a great defense if only Putin would invade using pigeons.
What soldiers we did bother funding, we trained as peacekeepers to win hearts and minds rather than as warriors to kill the enemy. Violence is nasty, you see. And so unnecessary.
We are the ‘Defund the Police’ generation, remember. We cannot imagine a problem that can’t be solved by people holding hands in a circle and singing Kumbaya. Or by sitting down with a social worker who has a PhD in gender studies.
And so the German army has, in recent times, taken to conducting military exercises using broomsticks as guns. Why not? It’s not like we’d ever need guns in our mythical world of love and rainbows.
Germany’s chief of land forces, Lieutenant General Alfons Mais wrote this week on his Linkedin page, ‘I would not have thought I would have had to experience war.’
But while we have been busy beating our swords into broomsticks, Putin and Xi Jinping and the Mullahs and Kim Jong-un have rationed their population’s pruning hooks in order to afford more spears.
Western elites have allowed a situation in which wealthy countries rummage around in the broom cupboard for something with which to defend themselves while basket case nations have nuclear weapons. What did they think was going to happen?
The Ukraine today. Taiwan tomorrow. And God only knows what comes after that.
The West will impose sanctions (provided they don’t cost us too much), but Putin has a war chest of billions.
The West will light up monuments, but thanks to a scowling Swedish schoolgirl, Putin controls the West’s energy supplies.
The West will appeal to ‘international law’, but it can only be upheld by force. And we stopped believing in force years ago.
The West will try to galvanise the much talked about ‘international community’, but no such community exists. Pakistan president Imran Khan, a supposed Western ally, visited Putin last week declaring it ‘an exciting time’. And just watch the so-called international community rush to cut sweet deals with Xi Jinping if China succeeds in snatching Taiwan.
The West will look to the European Union, but the bureaucrats in Brussels are committed to the elimination of nation-states. Meanwhile, Europe is an idea of elites that the man on the street is not prepared to die for.
The West will appeal to the United Nations, but the UN Security Council was chaired by Russia at the very time Russia was invading Ukraine. The UN General Assembly’s most likely response to Russia invading Ukraine is to agree on harsh sanctions against Israel.
On and on it goes.
We have lived in a world of illusion. And now reality is hitting us like a rocket. But will it be enough to make us finally realize that the real world is where the monsters are?

Putin is
dangerous but he is in complete control of what and why he is doing what he is doing. On the other hand, Biden is not in control of his faculties and says and does things that can create serious issues for the world. The more he does these maters they cannot be denied like the mass media has become expert a doing, ie. the NYT's.

Men Accused of Impersonating DHS Agents Have Possible Ties to Iranian Intelligence
By Rick Moran
The bizarre case of two men who posed as DHS agents, ingratiating themselves with four Secret Service employees, took an unexpected turn when it was revealed that the men are under investigation for having possible ties to Iranian intelligence — specifically, the Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Investigators allege that Arian Taherzadeh, 40, and Haider Ali, 35, posed as various officers and employees of the U.S. government, including members of federal law enforcement agencies, since February 2020. During that time, they got close to four Secret Service agents — including an agent assigned to Jill Biden’s protection detail — by supplying them with perks and gifts, including the use of a $40,000-a-year apartment.
The agents have since vacated the apartment, so investigators aren’t sure if their conversations were bugged or not.
The end game of the fraudsters is still unknown, although the ties to the IRGC would suggest that terrorism was a distinct possibility.
Prosecutors said Thursday that Ali told witnesses he had connections to the Pakistani Intelligence Service, which the government said it has not yet verified. Prosecutors also said the government recovered his passport containing three “older” Pakistani visas and two Iranian visas from 2019 and January 2020. There was an indication on Ali’s Iranian visa that he had entered that country at some point, prosecutors said, although they did not specify when.
The government also indicated they had a hard time pinning down an exact address for Taherzadeh, but signs point to the fact that he is currently a U.S. citizen.
According to a criminal complaint unsealed late Wednesday following the multi-agency raid on a Washington, D.C., apartment complex, the duo allegedly obtained paraphernalia, handguns and assault rifles used by federal law enforcement agencies. The FBI claimed they used their false associations with the U.S. government “to ingratiate themselves with members of federal law enforcement and the defense community” by providing gifts and favors to residents of an apartment building, many of whom were employees of the FBI, Secret service, and the Department of Homeland Security and Defense.
The two men allegedly gave the Secret Service members the rent-free luxury apartment, “iPhones, surveillance systems, a drone, a flat-screen television, a case for storing an assault rifle, a generator, and law enforcement paraphernalia.”
Among the items seized by the FBI in the raid were “ballistic vests, zip ties, handcuffs, radios, a drone, DHS patches on vests and clothing, training manuals and surveillance equipment.”
Where did they get all this stuff?
According to the affidavit in support of the criminal charges, confidential witnesses alleged the men collectively used fraudulent government email addresses, asserted they had government-issued vehicles, and claimed to have access to personal information of all the residents at the apartment complex in question via their purported jobs in law enforcement.
The pair allegedly recruited an individual to apply for a fraudulent DHS/HSI position, a process that required the applicant tobe “shot with an Airsoft rifle to evaluate their pain tolerance and reaction,” according to the charging documents.
The Secret Service agents weren’t paying for any of this stuff so it couldn’t be some kind of elaborate con. And the fact that many of these gifts were of high-dollar value strongly suggests a foreign government is behind whatever the plan turns out to be.
If the men had ties to the Quds Force, it’s a good bet they were hip-deep in planning some kind of terrorist attack. The Quds Force is notorious for its assassination teams that murder Iranian dissidents abroad. The Quds Force was also responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans in Iraq. Their commander, General Qasem Soleimani, murdered hundreds of Americans as well as dissidents in several countries before he was assassinated by a U.S. drone strike in 2020.
It would be in keeping with the Quds Force philosophy to try to assassinate Jill Biden in retaliation. So perhaps the ultimate motive of the two men isn’t quite so obscure.
