For decades, climate scientists said climate change was apocalyptic. It never was, as new UN scenarios prove. Scientists knew this and pushed a falsified scenario anyway. Now exposed, the scientists are falsely claiming that it was their policies that averted catastrophe.

Elon Musk is a truly extraordinary person and a very atypical boss. He can easily wander into the studio where SpaceX employees are broadcasting live and fill it and the audience with positive emotions🙌🏼

I love that about him! 🩵

I think that Trump renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America is pointless and stupid.

Wanna know what else I think is dumb?

The fact left-wingers are triggered about this after they spent the last decade plus renaming sports teams, public schools and universities, streets and highways, food and condiment brands, and redefining half the dictionary altogether.

Here’s a list of some in case you forgot:

• Washington Redskins ➡️ Commanders

• Cleveland Indians ➡️ Guardians

• Stanford Indians ➡️ Cardinals

• Loudoun County Raiders ➡️ Captains

• Edmonton Eskimos ➡️ Elks

• Columbus Day ➡️ Indigenous Peoples’ Day

• Lee–Jackson Day ➡️ eliminated

• Robert E. Lee High School ➡️ John Lewis High

• Jefferson Davis Highway ➡️ Richmond Highway

• Mount McKinley ➡️ Denali

• Fort Bragg ➡️ Fort Liberty

• Fort Hood ➡️ Fort Cavazos

• Boy Scouts of America ➡️ Scouting America

• Aunt Jemima ➡️ Pearl Milling Company

• Uncle Ben’s Rice ➡️ Ben’s Original

• Eskimo Pie ice cream bars ➡️ Edy’s Pie

• Land O’Lakes ➡️ removed the Indian, but kept the land

• Illegal alien ➡️ undocumented worker

• Hispanic ➡️ Latinx (a term Hispanics did not want and do not use)

• Mother ➡️ birthing person

• Anchor baby ➡️ child of noncitizens

• black ➡️ Black

• Breastfeeding ➡️ chest feeding

• Inmate / prisoner / convict / felon ➡️ justice-involved person

• Ex-con / ex-felon ➡️ returning citizen

• “Gender” as a biological fact interchangeable with “sex” to being a social construct

• Fat ➡️ plus-sized

• Master bedroom ➡️ primary bedroom

• Manhole ➡️ utility hole

And so on and so on. . .

🚨Piers Morgan Has Received Totally 100% Real and Accurate Lesson in Geopolitical History From Jeffrey Sachs

🚨Piers should be congratulated for allowing someone who has something knowledgeable to say to say it.

🚨ENJOY!!!

📑To my mind, this is overwhelmingly about the first issue, is about NATO, because that's been the issue on the table for 30 years.
Territory was not on the table until two years ago.
I think the non-negotiable parts of what Putin is saying,
I would guess really non-negotiable, so we have to think about them, is that NATO will not enlarge to Ukraine,
and I think Crimea is non-negotiable for, Russia's, core security, interests and perceptions and, history.
So I think what's really absolutely core to what President Putin is saying is he would like to stop the war.
🚨He doesn't wanna take over Ukraine.
He doesn't wanna take more of Ukraine.
But what I do think is at the core of this all along was Russia, throughout its history, has always believed in keeping some safety from the West, which has repeatedly invaded, Russia.
And after the end of the Soviet Union in 1991, the US and Germany had said to Gorbachev and to Yeltsin,
🚨"We won't expand NATO one inch eastward."
But then, like always with the United States, they, they lied, they cheated, and they started the expansion.
And then, the Russians, I was, observing this all along.
The first expansions, which were in Central Europe,
didn't come too close to Russia, and they said, "Ugh, we don't like that.
You cheated. You told us no."
But okay, that's Hungary, Poland, and Czech Republic.
That was 1999 under Clinton.
But then it just kept coming and kept coming and kept coming, and they said with rising decibels, and, rising fervor, "Stop coming closer."
And their ultimate red line has been consistent.
It is Ukraine and Georgia.
Why?
🚨 Well, it, it goes back, Piers, to, the British Empire
to, 1853 to 1856, actually to Lord Palmerston.
He had an idea.
🚨Surround Russia in the Black Sea.
🚨Render Russia's fleet in the Black Sea in Sevastopol, which was there in 1853 just like it's, there in 2024.
Render it essentially inoperable.
Control the Dardanelles.
This is a long story.
And, then Russia is a second or third-rate power.
And President Putin is responding to what has been
a British, imperial attempt for, 175 years and a US attempt since 1991, basically to surround Russia with NATO.
And what Putin has been saying is,
"Don't do that. Stop. Leave, Ukraine as a kind of buffer zone."
And Ukraine was perfectly happy with that, and public opinion was perfectly happy with that, and they didn't wanna join NATO.
And in 2009, they elected Viktor Yanukovych, who promised them neutrality, which was the promise that
Ukraine itself had made in declaring its independence,
that they would be permanently a neutral country.
Cause they're in between West and East.
They're in between Europe and Western Europe or European Union and Russia.
So they wanted just, "Okay, we'll be, we'll be neutral."
But then the United States did team up to overthrow Yanukovych in February 2014, and that's when this war started.
That's when Russia, stopped saying, "Well, we'll lease a base in Crimea.
Rather, we'll take back Crimea.
We don't want it to fall into NATO hands," just like, the Tsar did not want, Sevastopol to fall into Palmerston's hands.
So this is basically a long, long story.
I think the rest is negotiable.
I basically think either the US and Europe don't understand what they're doing, which is not impossible,
or they're still on what has been a 30-year neocon agenda, which I know about in detail, which is get NATO all the way to surround Russia, because that was the plan of Zbigniew Brzezinski and Dick Cheney and others going right back to the 1990s.
They still wanna do it, and they think they can still accomplish this.
Okay.

That's where I find your, I wouldn't say trust, I don't think that's the right word, but you seem very reliant on accepting Putin's worldview rather than perhaps the stark reality of the barbarism with which he's executed this war.
🚨Yeah, maybe because I know too much about the United States.
Because the first war in Europe after world War two was the US bombing of Belgrade for 78 days to change borders of a european state.
🚨The idea was to break Serbia, to create Kosovo as an enclave, and then to install Bondsteel, which is the largest NATO base in the Balkans, in the southwest Balkans.
So the US started this under Clinton, that we will
break the borders, we will illegally bomb another country.
We didn't have any UN authority.
This was a, quote, NATO mission to do that.
Then I know the United States went to war repeatedly,
illegally, in what it did in Afghanistan and then what
it did in Iraq and then what it did in Syria, which was the Obama administration, especially Obama and Hillary
Clinton, tasking the CIA to overthrow Bashar al Assad.
And then what it did with NATO illegally bombing Libya to topple Muammar Gaddafi and then what it did in Kiev in February 2014.
I happened to see some of that with my own eyes.
The US overthrew Yanukovych together with right wing ukrainian military forces.
We overthrew a president.
And what's interesting, by the way, is we overthrew
Yanukovych the day after the European Union representatives had reached an agreement with Yanukovych to have early elections, a government of national unity and a stand down of both sides that was agreed.
The next thing that happens is the opposition, quote unquote, says, we don't agree.
They stormed the government buildings and they deposed Yanukovych.
And within hours, the United States says, yes, we support the new government.
It didn't say, oh, we had an agreement that's unconstitutional what you did.
So we overthrew a government contrary to a
promise that the European Union had made.
And by the way, Russia, the United States,
and the EU were parties to that agreement.
And the United States an
hour afterwards backed the coup.
Okay, so everyone's got a little bit to answer for.
In 2015, the Russians did not say, we want the Donbas back.
They said, peace should come through negotiations.
And negotiations between the ethnic Russians in the
east of Ukraine and this new regime in Kiev led to the Minsk II agreement.
The Minsk II agreement was voted by the UN Security Council unanimously.
It was signed by the government of Ukraine.
It was guaranteed explicitly by Germany and France.
And you know what?
And it's been explained to me in person.
It was laughed at inside the us government.
This is after the UN Security Council unanimously accepted it.
The Ukrainian said, we don't want to give autonomy to the region.
Oh, but that's part of the treaty.
The US told them, don't worry about it.
Angela Merkel explained in Die Zeit in a notorious interview after the 2022 escalation.
She said, oh, you know, we knew that Minsk two was just a holding pattern to give Ukraine time to build its strength.
No, Minsk too was a UN security council unanimously
adopted treaty that was supposed to end the war.
So when it comes to who's trustworthy, who to believe
and so forth, I guess my problem, Piers, is I know the United States government, I know it very well.
I don't trust them for a moment.
I want these two sides actually to sit down in front
of the whole world and say, these are the terms.
Then the world can judge, because we could get
on paper clearly for both sides of the world, we're not going to overthrow governments anymore.
The United States needs to say, we accept this agreement.
The United States needs to say, Russia needs to say,
we're not stepping 1ft farther than whatever the boundary is actually reached and NATO's not going to enlarge.

"Net zoals de rede ooit bevrijd moest worden van het religieuze altaar, moet zij nu worden beschermd tegen de vergaderzalen van de politiek en de balansen van de markt. Een universiteitstoptalent moet de onafhankelijkheid bewaken, mag niet de belichaming zijn van de politieke machtsstructuren. Pas wanneer de politieke agenda en de commerciële portemonnee de pen van de onderzoeker niet meer sturen, is de wetenschap werkelijk vrij."
