Deceitful Cold War Narrative on Project Ukraine Begins to Unravel

Uncovering USAID Propaganda Mission
Reading Trump—Advice for Trump
The false narrative that the Ukraine War was an “unprovoked” invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation on February 24, 2022, is now beginning to unravel, although the truth was plain to those who did not confine their facts, history, and analysis to the Cold-War-Think narrative that the Russian Federation is still the Soviet Union of 1945 to 1987. The real facts also recognized an important truth—approximately 40 percent of the population of pre-2014 Ukraine is ethnically and culturally either Russian (18%) or a mixture of Russian and Ukrainian (22%). The Russian Federation felt their national security was seriously threated when NATO, pushed by the US in 2008, targeted Ukraine and Georgia to become part of NATO. In 2014, the US under President Barack Obama, then VP Joe Biden, Asst. Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, and recent National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan backed a coup to overthrow the duly elected President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych.

America Is Calling – How Will We Respond?

“O, America you’re calling, I can hear you calling me: You are calling me to be true to thee—true to thee I will be.
O, America you’re weeping, Let me heal your wounded heart. I will keep you in my keeping, ‘til there be a new start.
And I will answer you, and I will take your hand, And lead you to the sun; And I will stand by you, do all that I can do, And we will be as one.
O, America I hear you, From your prairies to the sea; From your mountains grand, and all through this land, You are beautiful to me.
And, O, America you’re calling. I can hear you calling me; You are calling me to be true to thee, true to thee I will be.
And I will answer you, and I will take your hand, And lead you to the sun; And I will stand by you, do all that I can do, And we will be as one.
O, America you’re calling…… I will ever answer thee.”
Outlaw Subversive Agenda 2030 Schemes
- Details
- By The John Birch Society

State legislative sessions are already underway, and now is an excellent time to urge your state legislators to take action against the UN’s collectivist Agenda 2030 program. State legislatures must follow the example of Tennessee, which enacted legislation (SB 1147) banning the implementation of multiple globalist UN schemes, including Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030, and banning government from working with pro-Agenda 2030 NGOs such as ICLEI. Contact your state legislators, and urge them to enact similar legislation that strongly protects property rights and the U.S. Bill of Rights.
Just For Today

- By Lyle J. Rapacki, Ph.D. - Arizona Today
I was led to pen the thoughts below due to a writing submitted by a 22-year-old lady who just resigned her corporate position. As she wrote on a professional site to which we both belong, I was moved by her accomplishments but as she relayed, they were at some personal cost given the number of hours and numerous on-call expectations she was expected to work. One of her statements particularly caught my attention, "take a break when you deserve it, only do stuff you're passionate about and learn." Her insight and ownership of what she was becoming reminded me of some life lessons I learned as one proceeds down the path of living, accomplishing, promotions and recognitions amid life's setbacks. I was sincerely fortunate to have the below life lessons taught as I approached my high school years, and then interestingly enforced during four years at a high-ranking military academy. I pray you find some wisdom and help in my life lessons below:
UN Resolution on Ukraine War Anniversary Passes Despite Opposition from U.S. and Russia
- Details
- By Emmitt Barry - Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – The United Nations adopted a resolution despite opposition from the United States, which voted against the European-backed measure demanding Russia’s immediate withdrawal from Ukraine, reaffirming Ukraine’s territorial integrity, and strongly condemning Russia’s invasion on the war’s third anniversary.
The United Nations General Assembly passed the resolution with 93 countries in favor, while the United States and Russia, along with Israel, North Korea, Hungary, and 13 other nations, voted against it.
However, analysts noted a significant shift in alliances, as this is the first instance of the US and Russia siding together in a Ukraine-related UN vote since the conflict’s onset.

House and Senate Work on Reconciliation Packages with Real Results

Reconciliation Package Reaches Toward Reality

For months now, House and Senate Republicans have discussed a way to fund President Donald Trump’s agenda. With a slim Republican majority in the House and Senate, passing a large appropriations package is nearly impossible. With a 60-vote threshold on such a bill, they would have to negotiate with Democrats. Even proceeding to another continuing resolution (CR) would pose problems with House Freedom Caucus members and undermine all DOGE efforts. However, reconciliation is one legislative vehicle they can use to their advantage.
Vance's Stirring Speech Warns Europe of 'Retreat' from 'Fundamental Values' of Faith, Freedom
- Details
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand

President Joe Biden regularly fell asleep during diplomatic meetings. Vice President J.D. Vance debuted on the international stage Friday morning with a powerful speech aimed at awakening foreign elites to their violation of pro-life advocates’ rights, censorship of Christians, and “running in fear of your own voters.”
Vance fearlessly faced down the assembled powers of Europe at the Munich Security Conference, highlighting one nation’s Orwellian prosecution of pro-life Christians for the crime of silent public prayer, and the members’ collective determination to preserve “Our Democracy,”TM without respecting civil liberties or the will of the people.

The Heroic Saga of the CSS Alabama, CSS Florida, and CSS Shenandoah

Confederate Navy Captain James D. Bulloch, the Confederate government agent who coordinated and supervised the building and launching of the Confederate cruisers Alabama, Florida, and Shenandoah in Liverpool is not a household name among Civil War buffs, but his accomplishments in building a formidable Confederate fleet of commerce raiders in England must be ranked among the most remarkable achievements for the Southern cause.

One of my favorite subjects to write about in this great journal of truth has always been the lives of extraordinary people, especially when they are Christians, and most particularly when they have turned from being a Devil’s Disciple to become one of God’s Children – from sinner to saint. Those are the people I love to write about, to share with my readers their beliefs, their values, their strengths and weaknesses, their deeds, their fears, and their valor that we of the present might emulate to some degree.
Conservation Easements: The Land Grab That Must Be Stopped
- Details
- By Tom DeWeese - American Policy Center

President Trump is surging at full speed to expose and stop the deep state’s drive to destroy the American culture of free enterprise, private property, and limited government. For over three decades climate change and environmental protection have led the lies to trick Americans into voluntarily surrendering their liberties. American farmland has been, and continues to be, one of the leading targets in the agenda as more and more land is being subjected to eminent domain takings by private developers.
Science by Judicial Decree
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
What is and is not science is a key issue in the field of philosophy of science. When somebody insists that their activities qualify as science, but others disagree, the best way to settle the question is by open discussion. There are two ways in which this issue should never be settled. The first is by those who insist that the activities are not scientific, forcing their view through the established institutions of mainstream science to prevent discussion. The second is even worse by judicial decree, that is by lawsuit.

The spectacular dominance of America's Magnificent Seven tech firms -- with $1 trillion-plus market caps -- has been a marvel to behold and a genuine source of American pride. This is a theme that both President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance have in celebration of American business prowess.
The Magnificent Seven companies -- Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla -- have a combined net worth greater than all the companies of Europe. Now that's Chiefs-versus-Eagles dominance.

WASHINGTON/PARIS/BUDAPEST (Worthy News) – European leaders gathered for an emergency summit in Paris on Monday after Kyiv warned of an imminent Russian invasion of NATO military alliance member states, although U.S. President Donald J. Trump reportedly seeks a ceasefire in war-torn Ukraine by Easter.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned overnight he has information that Russia will invade NATO states Poland and Lithuania as possible first targets. “We have already shared this information with our allies,” the wartime president revealed.
It is Time to Replace Income Taxes with The National Broad Base Sales Tax Amendment

- By Christian Newswire

LERONA, W.Va. -- Frustration is the opinion of most tax-paying citizens. The main questions are why are taxes so expensive, and complicated? Why do some states have no state income tax? NowTaxUSA.com since 2011 has been working on the answer.
The other question citizens ask is, why are we always in a deficit, and why are we so far in debt? That answer unfortunately is simple, the income tax system does not work and never will; so we need a new way of thinking of taxes, a whole new tax system.
The Constitution and We the People

- By Lyle J. Rapacki, Ph.D. - Arizona Today
The Constitution can only defend the public to the extent the public defends and preserves the Constitution. This truth is playing out in front of our eyes right now. Barely a month into his presidency, Donald Trump clearly has made decisions to restore the gift given to us by our Forefathers.
The gift of this exceptional nation and our founding documents making us unique among all the countries in the world. But the gift has steadily been siphoned, chiseled away, ignored and replaced with socialist doctrine. Equally, we have had office holders who placed their own agendas before the purpose of serving those who duly elected them, to represent them and to guarantee the rights and freedoms given to us as a gift if we would keep them, as Benjamin Franklin said coming out of Independence Hall and the formation of our Republic.

Lynch Announces Bid to Unseat Graham

- By Terry M. Thacker

A near-capacity crowd filled the chapel room in the back of the Jeff Lynch appliance store on Monday to cheer on their champion, store owner Mark Lynch, as he officially announced a run to take the US Senate seat currently held by South Carolina senior senator Lindsey Graham, who has held that office since 2003.
After a few introductory remarks from Lynch's wife, Sara, an opening prayer by Lynch's pastor, Tim Huckabee of Burnsview Baptist Church, and an introduction by constitutional scholar Evan Mulch, Lynch spent the next fifty minutes making his case as to why he should be elected to office.
Lynch received a standing ovation at both the beginning and the ending of his remarks.
SCFC Statement on the 2025 Budget
- Details
- By Jordan Pace - Chairman of SC Freedom Caucus
TLDR: We want to spend less of your money
The South Carolina Freedom Caucus remains committed to ensuring that our state government prioritizes its core responsibilities: delivering justice, maintaining critical infrastructure, and protecting citizens' rights. Unfortunately, instead of focusing on these essential functions, state leadership is pushing for massive funding increases for non-essential programs—such as “Electric Vehicle Training” and an additional $100 million annually for EV industry scholarships. These proposals stand in direct opposition to President Trump’s agenda of cutting spending and reducing government overreach. We must reject Biden’s Green New Deal policies disguised as state initiatives.
Proposed Hotel Complex on Paris Mountain
- Details
- By Frank Holleman - President, Naturaland Trust
EDITOR: The following letter was sent to the Mayor and City Councilmen of the City of Travelers Rest.
----------------------
Dear Mayor Amidon and Members of Council:

I am writing you on behalf of Naturaland Trust to convey our perspective on the proposed hotel development on the face of Paris Mountain on Altamont Road. We understand that no application has been submitted to you as of yet, but from press reports the developer intends to do so. We write to urge you to reject this proposal if it is presented to you.
First, let me emphasize that Naturaland Trust has for decades enjoyed working with neighborhoods and families around Travelers Rest and with the City of Travelers Rest to protect special places and the beautiful natural heritage of the area. Among other things, Naturaland Trust and the members of its Board have played key roles in establishing Poinsett Park; acquiring and opening the Swamp Rabbit Trail; acquiring key segments of the Swamp Rabbit Trail both south and north of Travelers Rest; protecting the Spring Park Inn; and protecting a number of properties around Travelers Rest, including nature preserves for the endangered Bunched Arrowhead and conserved properties along the Saluda Rivers. We have also worked successfully with Council and the City’s Planning Commission to protect populations of the Bunched Arrowhead when developments have been proposed in the City and are in the process of cleaning up and restoring the preserve to be established at the corner of Coleman and East Bowers Road.
USAID Funded Beginning of Ukraine War in 2014

CIA-Related Agency for Color Revolutions and Regime Changes

The US Agency for International Development (USAID) may sound like the leading edge of a generous and enlightened US foreign Policy. It may have been just that when founded by President John F. Kennedy in 1961. It’s original goal was to counter the influence of the Soviet Union during the Cold War and advance US foreign policy interests through socioeconomic development. It has in the past been funded by Congress as an independent Agency under the supervision of the President, Secretary of State, and National Security Council. Over the years it has become a largely secret and independent Deepstate agency tied to aggressive State Department foreign policy closely tied to the CIA. In this regard, it has evolved into an aggressive funder of Color Revolutions and regime changes designed to maintain US control of international affairs. Color Revolutions are US or allied attempts to overthrow, intimidate, or control nations out-of-step with US foreign and economic policy and assure US military dominance and hegemony. In recent years, USAID has also funded propaganda and training programs for pushing liberal gender ideology and Marxist DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusiveness) ideology. The fiscal year 2025 Congressional budget for USAID is about $40 billion but has been subject only to limited Congressional control.
Americans Rush to Enlist in Trump’s Military Recruitment Boom
- Details
- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand

The Trump team may be slashing and burning lots of government jobs, but there’s one agency that’s been hanging a “We’re hiring” shingle for four years: the U.S. military. In yet another sign that the long and embarrassing chapter of the Biden administration is over, young men and women apparently can’t enlist fast enough, spiking recruitment numbers that had been at their lowest levels since World War II. Apparently, voters aren’t the only ones eager to exchange a commander in woke for a commander in chief.
We Must Be Living In “The Twilight Zone” - Part 2
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb

Last time we delved a bit into twenty-one reasons to prove that, beyond reasonable doubt, we Americans have been living in a version of Rod Sterling’s “The Twilight Zone” at least for the past four years, and probably for much longer. A valid case can be made, in my opinion, that our nation and its somewhat “willingly deceived” citizens have been living in that not-so-far-fetched “zone” for much longer than the past four years. How else are we to judge the reasons why we Americans have allowed the severe degradation of our once noble and mostly Christian-oriented national culture? Think about it.
The Reign of the Department of Un-Education is Ending
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
Department of Ed Counts Its Days

For more than four decades, Eagle Forum and the conservative movement have called for the Department of Education to be abolished. Since its opening in 1979, radical teachers unions, and leftist politicians have used this agency to push their political ideology into America’s classroom and overstep states’ rights. Young minds have been poisoned, parents’ rights have been eroded and test scores have failed to improve. The pandemic allowed parents to see exactly what their kids were (and sadly were not) learning for the first time in years. In response, they showed up at school board meetings to demand changes in the education system. President Donald Trump has been fulfilling his promises to make American education great again in recent weeks.
