I had to take some days off this week because of tech difficulties. I upgraded my broadcast software but it’s now making my computer run slow and the video is choppy. I need a new computer but it’s not in the budget at the moment so I’m trying to figure out how to fix the problem. I can’t go back to the old version of the software because it was crashing which is why I upgraded it. Seems like a lose-lose and I might have to go back to the old, cumbersome and time consuming way of recording videos until I can fix this mess.
Hope to be back very soon.
Had a fun time this weekend at a birthday party and wanted to share my GIF. btw..I learned it's pronounced JIFF with a soft G not GIFF with a hard G. The more you know I suppose.

Europe-Russia, two-century failure w/ Jeffrey Sachs (Live)
In this podcast, Jeffrey Sachs provides information on European History which is not the official narrative. He recommends two books, both available online - though only one of them is available for downloading for offline use, the other needs to be read online.
1. The genesis of Russophobia in Great Britain; a study of the interaction of policy and opinion; Gleason, John Howes, 1972 - not available for offline(though Jeffrey Sachs indicates that this material from the 1950s. Sachs must have been thinking of Jackie Gleason, or perhaps the archive page got the date wrong.) | https://archive.org/details/genesisofrussoph0000glea/page/n7/mode/2up
2. The Grand Chessboard by Zbigniew Brzezinski, 1997 | https://www.cia.gov/library/abbottabad-compound . This is available offline as a pdf. It's available at the CIA website. ...
