CAUTION ON USING WIKIPEDIA ARTICLES
We use Wikipedia Articles to give a 'general' overview on various topics. These articles are written from the online community. Some controversial topics and persons have been known to be targeted by and contain leftist-leaning (Marxist) propaganda. See Articles. Readers should use wisdom when articles state conclusions or opinions that go beyond the basics.

Outside Videos, Content, Links - no endorsement implied. You will notice that the majority of our work 'curates' or 'connects the dots' on topics using publicly available sources and materials of others. Any such use should not be considered a guarantee of the accuracy of that content, or an endorsement of its producer or their other content.
Take Charge of Your Own Research. Consider this website as a starting point to doing your own research - since we can only go into a limited level of depth and breadth (width). It is up to you to go beyond our research, to verify the information - as we would hope all do on a regular basis. We encourage you to become active investigators/researchers into the information surrounding your own lives - upon which you make significant life-critical plans and decisions upon.
Do not automatically take things as true without verification (multiple reliable sources), no matter how good or bad it sounds. Testing everything. We encourage you to go deeper - to not just know something, but to also understand the details behind it. In doing so, you will stand on very solid ground for yourself AND would be highly effective in helping friends and family understand properly also. We wish you the best in your endeavors.

Great Sources from Independent News Media with the Highest Standards in Ethics and Journalism
EDITOR'S NOTE: NTD-TV, The Epoch Times, and EpochTV.com were founded by Chinese-Americans of the Falun Gong faith, who originally came to America due to genocidal persecution in China by the ruling Communist Party (CCP). Regardless of what one may think of their faith, I have found their journalistic integrity, ethics, and their love for the principles of American Liberty to be unmatched. As a Christian, I cannot endorse their religious views, but I do endorse their journalism, which is unparalleled in any media circle (mainstream or conservative). They give hope again to what true journalism was always meant to be. I highly recommend them as a trusted news group, one whose productions are noticeably innovative in the advancement of truth and liberty.
With a rich love for people of all backgrounds, faiths, ethnicities, races - all who love liberty.
We Are All Called: Americans. Out of Many, One (E Pluribus Unum) - United States Motto

European News Agencies often have reporters embedded in Ukraine giving them better coverage.
These European News Agencies below cover European Defence, NATO, Russia, and the Ukraine War well.
ⓘ Defence with a "C" is the British way of spelling it. Defense with an "S" is the American way.
BIAS WARNINGS: All News Media is biased.
European News Media tend to be much worse than American Mainstream Media in containing anti-American bias, and in the promotion of "Woke" and Marxist Ideologies.

Ukrainian-based News Agencies - some Government funded, some Independent.
BIAS WARNINGS: All News Media is biased. All Ukrainian News Media will be justifiably biased to some extent because their country is at war.
Government-funded news sources will obviously promote government propaganda and news items.
Independent Ukrainian Media should contain less propaganda and more genuine news journalism.
Used for occasional reference only.
All Russian News Media does what the Russian Government tells them to do.
BIAS WARNINGS: DA! (yes) All News Media in Russia biased and under the thumb of the Russian Government.
Independent News Media has been run out of the country or is in jail.
