...Meanwhile, all the experimenters were gaining experience and mastery of
the practice of mental suggestion (telepathic induction) which requires above
all the ability to concentrate in a most intensive manner on the “telepatheme,”
which is by no means easy and very tiring. I. EF Tomashevsky, A. V. Dubrovsky
and, in some instances, L. L. Vasiliev, the director of the project, served as agents or senders.
Finally, the last really important (and also the most difficult) task of all was to find methods of mental suggestion which would achieve more perfectly than methods previously employed the aims of the planned psychophysical experiments.
It should be noted that it is possible to find, in the literature of the subject, descriptions of a number of different methods of mental suggestion, which fall into three classes according to the nature of the transmitted “telepathy”:
motor, sensory and hypnogenic.
At first we selected mental suggestion of simple acts of movement, and mental suggestion of visual images and sensations; thereafter of mentally waking up
and inducing sleep. These methods yielded, in many instances, unmistakably positive results which established the existence of mental suggestion as a fact.
But the first two methods proved less suitable for purposes of psychophysical experimentation. Experience taught that they either required a considerable period of time, or yield only “indeterminate” results which made them useless
for the purpose of providing the bulk of quantitative data essential for statistical calculation, which is of fundamental importance in experiments on mental suggestion. This was our principal reason for selecting from the methods enumerated above the procedure of mental alerting and lulling, or suggestion to wake up and go to sleep; a method which, in the course of our investigations,
gave us the most stable positive results...
L.L. Vasiliev Experiments in mental suggestion. This book describes some points of soviet telepathy research program. If you think that telepathy is not existing, then soviet scientists managed to manifest it into reality quite effectively nevertheless.

US in advanced talks with Denmark for three new military bases in southern Greenland
The United States has been conducting closely guarded, regular negotiations with Denmark to establish three new military bases in southern Greenland. According to sources, the bases would be designated as American sovereign territory and primarily focused on surveillance of Russian and Chinese maritime activity in the GIUK Gap.
The US currently maintains only one base in Greenland — Pituffik Space Base (formerly Thule) — down from around 17 during the Cold War.
The discussions aim to strengthen the US presence in the Arctic amid growing strategic competition in the region. Denmark has signaled openness to additional US bases but has rejected full territorial cessions.

Abandoned military facilities and relics, echoes of war and conflicts of the past still stand all around us.
Military barracks reclaimed by nature. Grounded warbirds stand at the edges of old runways. Nuclear bunkers and warhead storage sites sit abandoned since the close of the Cold War. Rusted tanks wedged in ditches.
We can learn much from the mistakes of the past. At least, we should do!

Remote viewing - classical cold war military parapsychology method for intel gathering. We adopted it for our struggle against Putin's state and it has proved itself very useful. Info on the method could be relatively easily found in public - so i post description of our slightly differed version here for all who is interested in unconventional methods of class struggle against capital and state.
Remote viewing technique (adapted for target\threat search) – brief description.
CIA created this technique, during cold war for reconnaissance of soviet war assets. After Soviet Union collapse, it became public. Because of its controversial paranormal nature, it didn’t really get much popularity with exception of parapsychology enthusiasts.
Our comrades have come across this technique, while trying to solve reconnaissance puzzle. Regime forces have sophisticated surveillance systems, dozens of databases on its citizens, and they could easily find direct place of certain citizen at any time with cams, that placed everywhere in big cities. But if you try to find where the nearest cop are right now – you won’t really get this information anywhere. There are no online maps with regime forces inside Russia, like liveuamap or deepstate map. The only publicly available information – is stationary police stations. In addition, they are difficult target for most of attacks. So here is the challenge – we need information here and now about nearest non-stationary regime police agent, that are suitable for psi-terror attack. To solve this challenge we used remote viewing technique.
Some elements of theory prior the main part.
During experiments, we find out, that this technique is making a connection between you, and your future, that is connected to an object. That means that information has a level of subjectivity in it. For example if someone, who believes in aliens, is looking for aliens with remote viewing technique – he will probably find something, which will prove his believe. Though, the event or location itself may have very distant connection to aliens in reality. However, this connection is enough for a remote viewer to prove his believe. This phenomena leads to some bad predictions for first team of remote viewers in USA, who try to popularize the method along the public.
Algorithm of technique.
1. Sit in a place, where nobody is going to bother you for a while. (maybe on the street)
2. Look at a picture of a target (in our case – picture of a Putin regime cop, which we find in the internet. We need mostly only elements of the uniform). Theoretically, you may just write a word somewhere and then look at it.
3. While looking at a picture – start drawing on a sheet of paper. This drawing should be automatic – just let your hand do the lines, while your mind is concentrated on a picture. It is better to do a picture in one go without taking your pen off the paper. If you don’t have paper – you may use dirt or sand. Ancient Buddhist mystics were doing the exact same thing for their rituals. Their sand mandalas are part of cultural heritage. CIA scientists called this drawing «Swan’s ideogram».4. When you need your Intel on a target (you have only 2 days before your ideogram expires so to speak and information from it will become less accurate) – concentrate on your drawing and imagine it in all the details. Then concentrate on the sensations of your body. Any new sensation that has appeared during imagining the picture is your goal.
5. Start expanding new sensation on your whole body. Then move your attention to it.
6. While doing it you probably will notice the flying feeling – during it try to understand the direction of your fly in relation to your current position.
7. When you reached the source of sensation – different pictures probably will bombard you in your imagination. Try to memorize all of them – because they would with high probability connected to a place of a target.
8. When you reached the source of sensation – try to understand its geometric form, and orientation of this form in relation to your current position. This form is a path of your target.
9. Then make quick logical analysis of all info, that you have got. You should have the direction (where the target in relation to your current position), visions of a place (buildings, trees, roads etc. – all surroundings of a target), and a path of your target. If you have some info on a map, where you are planning to do your activity – then this info will be enough for you to understand a place where your target is, and how to approach it.
Some precautions
1. This technique tend to show future or past of the target. That’s why exact place may be irrelevant and it is more effective to get a path of a target even if it seems to be stationary. That is even more important for people, vehicles and everything that could potentially move.
2. You can use this technique to avoid cops or other enemies. Rules and algorithms are the same.
3. This technique has about 60 % of accuracy. With some experience, you may have even more effectiveness. But, try to find some additional source of info, especially if you are avoiding the danger with this method.Sources:
1. “Jim Marrs - PSI Spies the True Story of Americas Psychic Warfare Program” – one of the best sources. It has described technique. Some historical context and some interviews with CIA paranormal team – so you will have some idea of what to expect.
2. John William Dunne «An Experiment with time» – some inside to mechanisms of how future events and information could potentially caught by psyche of a human (for example why in 2 days the ideogram will lose its accuracy, etc.)

I see Games Workshop are taking inspiration from Cold War British AFVs again.
At first glance, I thought the Hippogriff was a Saladin armoured car. And the Centaur looks an awful lot like a half-track version of the Humber Pig.
Not that I blame them, mind. I've always liked both the Saladin and the Pig. It just took me by surprise to see what I initially took to be a Saracen in a WH40K display.

#WWII Under terms of the Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany, the four original occupying powers renounced all the rights they formerly held in Germany, including those they had held on to in Berlin. As a result, Germany became a fully sovereign unified state on March 15, 1991.
Under the terms of the final treaty, the allies could keep their troops in Berlin until the end of 1994; the US contingent withdrew ahead of that deadline in a ceremony witnessed by President Bill Clinton. #ColdWar #NATO
