Dear CCI Readers,

Seldom does an article strike a chord of truth in the heart as does the piece below. Written by an insightful American man, formerly a professor in the south, Hal Freeman is now rearing his second family in the countryside of Russia.

Hal and his wife married and lived in the U.S., then decided to move to Russia several years ago. He frequently writes posts that deal with the differences and similarities in his two countries. Hal loves America and he loves Russia. His is an honest, non-condemning voice regarding both of them.

This latest post is about Putin’s last address to the nation in which he recommended changes to the Russian Constitution. Hal points out that the Constitution changes were a very small part of Putin’s major address. Read, educate yourself and wonder, as do we, how Western media picks and chooses what to reveal to us, the American public.

Friends of CCI,

Pardon my error in saying Tulsi Gabbard has been forcibly knocked out of the 2020 Democratic race for the Presidency. Actually, she has not been knocked out, she is still running. However, she has not been mentioned in the official primaries and caucuses.

Gabbard is creating her own speaking events in each city and state where the primaries and caucuses are happening. It isn’t known yet how effective this will be since party pundits are creating the official information and mainstream media is following their lead.

Dear CCI Friends,

Truth rings clear in this assessment of why and where our country is, given where Democrats have failed in the recent past. Since Major Gabbard has been forcibly knocked out of the 2020 Democratic race, makes one wonder if she is running for the presidency in 2024?

Dear CCI Colleagues,

Following months of dangerous rumors and news about NATO-led War Games, U.S. Nukes on submarines in our oceans, in addition to the usual demonizing of Russia and China … finally a BIG idea emerges!

Dear CCI Friends,

The heat is racheting up to accept and use “small nuclear weapons” by our U.S. war planners.

New “small” U.S. nukes were deployed last month in submarines in the Pacific Ocean and are rumored to be in the Atlantic. How small are they? About a third the intensity of the bomb we dropped on Hiroshima. Once fired, they would devastate another country similar in area to our entire San Francisco Bay Area, not to mention the radiation and particles that would spread hundreds of miles throughout surrounding territories. What kind of enemy do we have that deserves this sort of devastation?  I ask you, “What kind of nightmare are we Americans living in?”

Does anyone think if, by design or accident, these small Nukes are launched toward another country that there won’t be larger Nukes returned? For what purposes would our decision makers make or use such a weapon?

This, among other great fears, is why America’s nuclear physicists at the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists moved the Doomsday clock to 100 seconds before midnight just a few days ago … for the first time ever.
