Crimethink
"Personal liberty is very nearly unknown (except in the newspaper) and any citizen who dares to think in direct opposition to the dogma of the Majority does so at the risk of his life, if he thinks too loudly. " --Ragnar Redbeard, Might is Right (1896) "Who controls the past, controls the future. Who controls the present, controls the past."--George Orwell, 1984 (1949)
Putin Body Double
For years, rumors and conspiracy theories have been circulating about Russian President Vladimir Putin using body doubles for public appearances or to avoid assassination attempts. The most recent resurgence of this idea came in March 2021, when a video of Putin shaking hands with officials during a meeting with Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko seemed to show two different Putins with slightly different facial features and hairlines. This sparked a flurry of speculation on social media and fringe websites, with some claiming that Putin had died or been replaced by a lookalike.

Hello out there! Before I start, today's topic is a bit more on the opinion side of the bend. This article is going to be based on my opinion, but I of course will offer evidence and an explanation as to why I have a particular opinion on a subject matter. It helps both you and I better understand the subject, and it can help you to help understand my perspective. So, to put it briefly, if you do not want to hear my opinion or are easily offended, I wouldn't recommend reading further. But as I always say when it comes to articles like this, you make the decision whether or not to read further. Either way, enjoy the article, and we'll get right to it.

Why is Gun Violence Becoming the Norm in the U.S.?
Hello everybody, I should let you know before we start, this topic may be upsetting to some readers. This topic has a major focus on gun violence, which sticks to the United States like an unshakeable plague and jeopardizes the safety of innocent children and adults alike. I am an inhabitant of the so called 'land of the free, home of the brave,' but this statement just hides the horrors of being a U.S. citizen. Gun violence is becoming normal and has been increasing since 2019. This always made me wonder, why is this happening? Why do these people, who aren't in their right mind, have access to guns? Only a sick person would walk into a school and make a conscious decision to end the lives of young children.
McGill and the Great ReThink
What's in a name? For an English major, this can lead to many other questions. I was on the McGill campus looking at some of the book purchases I made at The Word on Rue Milton (this used bookstore was one of the main drops for me and others when we were students). Feeling nostalgic, I walked up to the campus, passed through the Arts Building centred in the campus, and then sat outside in the rare sunlight.

Hi everyone! So, as I was looking for things to read on my news feed, I found this particular subject within the mix. I didn’t believe it at first, but then I remembered: “Oh yeah, I live in America, the source of all this claptrap.” So basically, they are portraying Cleopatra as an African American woman. Now let’s meet the queen in question.
After Bulldozing Internationalism, President Announces "New Manifest Destiny"
January 20th (Cape Alava, WA) – Manifest Destiny. These two words elicit a strong response in the American psyche. Depending upon the person, this may bring feelings of exceptionalism; that the United States had—perhaps through divine providence—a mission to spread democratic ideals from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific, and to keep European empires out of these lands. For those people already living in the path of the expansionists, it was seen as a racist landgrab that displaced and killed millions, paving the way for a uniquely American territorial empire that denied freedoms to most and is still in existence today.
Escalating Tensions: Ukraine and Russia on the Brink of War
Ukraine's Justification for its Position against Russia The relationship between Ukraine and Russia has been strained for several years, with tensions coming to a head in 2014 with Russia's annexation of Crimea.
