Ukraine War: The 2015 Minsk II Betrayal

Ukraine War: The 2015 Minsk II Betrayal
Immediately following the Ukrainian “Maidan Revolution” of February 2014, in which Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych was forced from office by a U.S. State Department, CIA, and British MI6 backed and engineered coup d’état, the predominantly Russian-speaking oblasts (states or provinces) of Crimea, Donetsk, and Lugansk applied to the Russian Federation Duma (Legislature) to become parts of the Russian Federation. These three oblasts have about 9.3 million of Ukraine’s 2020 population of 44 million.

A Good Early Christmas Story!
- By W.H. Lamb
To begin, I did NOT write this touching tale. Its author is “Unknown”, at least to me. Possibly his name was Matt Miles. It was sent to me a year or two ago by a friend of mine in Georgia, a long-time Christian and patriot who, like me, is just about “worn out”. He provided no attribution for this story either, but sent it to me with the words: “What a blessing”! I found it so, and I think you might also.
WHAT A BLESSING!
“It was Christmas Eve, 1942. I was fifteen years old and feeling like the world had caved in on me because there just hadn’t been enough money to buy me the rifle that I’d wanted for Christmas. We did the chores early that night for some reason. I just figured that Daddy wanted a little extra time so we could read in the Bible. After supper was over I took my boots off and stretched out in front of the fireplace and waited for Daddy to get out his Bible.

December Is No Time to Ignore Congress
- By Veronique de Rugy
Congress's lame-duck session is an ideal time for both parties to pass last-minute legislation while voters are busy Christmas shopping and before members who lost their reelection bids surrender their seats in January. Especially this year, real danger lurks in such legislation. Above all, there's the threat that Congress turns the expanded child tax credit into a new and very costly permanent entitlement. But other threats loom. I'll look at a few of them today.

How Can We See Distant Starlight
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The biggest challenge from a creation science standpoint given the fact that the speed of light is finite is being able to see stars that are more than 6000 light years away. Several solutions to this problem have been proposed but unfortunately, some of them produce more problems than they solve.
The first solution proposed was that God created the light already in transit. There are two main problems with this idea. The first problem is the fact that there is nothing scientific about it, it is simply a patch to make the problem go away. The second problem is that the overwhelming majority of what we see in the sky never actually happened, basically making God an author of fiction. Finally, there is nothing to gain from this solution other than fixing a problem.

The Siege of Bakhmut
- By Mike Scruggs
A Developing Crisis in the Ukraine War
Bakhmut is a city of about 71,000 in Donetsk oblast (state), about 40 miles north of the city of Donetsk, capital of the seceded Donetsk Republic, with a population of over 900,000. The population of the Donetsk oblast in 2013 was 4.4 million, Ukraine’s most populous region and about 10 percent of the total population of Ukraine. Donetsk oblast is also the most mineral-rich and industrial region of Ukraine. The Donetsk oblast is over 90 percent Russian-speaking and judging from voting records (2010), Russian ethnic and cultural identity is also over 90 percent. Nine oblasts in southern and eastern Ukraine voted 60 to 90 percent for a pro-Russian candidate for President, Viktor Yanukovych, in 2010. Yanukovych was a former Governor of Donetsk oblast. When Yanukovych was overthrown by a violent U.S. State Department, CIA, and British MI6 backed coup in February 2014, Donetsk, Lugansk, to its east, and Crimea, to its south, petitioned the Russian Federation to receive them as oblasts of the Russian Federation.

Dear And Glorious Taylor
- By W.H. Lamb
One of the great benefits of living a long life is that one develops a deep understanding of history and how it shaped the present, as well as a humble appreciation of the people who helped make that history, both in the distant past and into the modern era. It is one of the latter, a “titan” of literature, and a dedicated American patriot, whose long life I want to explore with you. Her birth name was Janet Taylor, but we knew her better by her “pen name” that she used when writing: TAYLOR CALDWELL (1900-1985)
I’ve written many times here in The Times Examiner that my wife and I have been members of The John Birch Society since 1963, 59 years of associating with some of the finest Christians and patriots I’ve ever known. For many years, until her death, Taylor Caldwell was also aproud and dedicated member of The John Birch Society, and through her writing and in her sometimes hectic life she did what she could to help Americanists pursue the goal stated from the very beginning of the JBS by our Founder, Robert Welch: “Less government—more responsibility—and with God’s help, a better world”. Birchers still strive to accomplish Mr. Welch’s dream, and Taylor Caldwell did also.

Will This Year's Lame-Duck Session Bring Back a Bad Idea?
- By Veronique de Rugy
Democrats have lost the House of Representatives and, along with it, the chance to pass more of their preferred policies in 2023. This makes the "lame duck" period before the January arrival of the new Congress their last opportunity to fully control Capitol Hill for a while. It's also a chance for outgoing legislators from either party to pretty much do as they please. My fear is that the outgoing majority will, with the help of some misguided Republicans, push for a disastrous expansion of the child tax credit.
