Sisu: How to Develop Mental Toughness in the Face of Adversity
by James Clear    |     Grit, Motivation
 
Without warning, Soviet Union planes came roaring over the city of Helsinki, Finland on November 30, 1939. Finland was about to receive a violent shove into World War II.
 
The Soviets dropped more than 350 bombs during the raid. Innocent civilians died. Entire buildings were turned to dust. And it was just the beginning. Three hours before the air strike, more than 450,000 Soviet soldiers began marching across the Finnish border.

The Soviet soldiers outnumbered the Finnish army almost 3-to-1. That wasn't the worst of it. The Soviets also commanded more than 6,000 armored tanks and almost 4,000 aircraft. Finland, meanwhile, had just 32 tanks and 114 aircraft.
 
It was the beginning of what became known as the Winter War. For the Finns, there was no question whether some of them would die. The question was whether any of them would survive.

RV/INTELLIGENCE ALERT - May 19, 2019

(Disclaimer: The following is an overview of the current situation of the world based on intelligence received from several sources which may or may not be accurate or truthful.)

High level Alliance meetings are taking place to prepare for the next stage of the transition.

President Trump is expected to invoke the Insurrection Act.

"The Insurrection Act, passed by Congress in 1807, allows the president to deploy National Guard and U.S. military troops to combat “rebellion” against the United States of America. The Act has been invoked by other presidents to quell violent uprisings such as the L.A. Riots."

The "official" cover story for this move is to remove illegal immigrants.

Sources believe this move is the pretext for marshal law and mass arrests once Trump declassifies FISA court abuse and misconduct.

The Deep State/Cabal is about to be taken down.

Thank you Judy

Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of May 19 2019

Compiled 19 May 12:01 am by Judy Byington

Below is a summary of information from the Internet. It would be up to the individual reader to do their own research and decide whether or not it is valid.

Judy Note: Disappointed that there’s no new intel? Brace yourself. It’s the calm before the storm. Everything still appeared to be on track for this weekend.

On Fri. May 17 Trump announced a breakdown of talks on the China Trade Agreement, ordered declassification next week of the Comey Report and FISA Court Abuse, while Hannity on Fox news announced the Horowitz Report was finished and devastating.

The Comey, FISA and Horowitz Reports all named the FBI, CIA, Department of Justice, heads of the Democratic Party and other prominent political elites and Deep State players in unconstitutional, illegal and even treasonous activities.

JamesSheiba:  Please help me understand why Vietman has been a member of the WTO since 2007 and the Dong is still at roughly 23000 dong to one United States dollar. Is it because it is not an internationally traded currency yet? I ask this for I feel that even when Iraq becomes a member of the WTO, the Dinar will still stay at the same rate-roughly 1200 dinar per US Dollar.Please don't thrash me for not knowing the answer. This is not a negative or a positive question.  Thank you

StephenMac63:  Very valid question.   IMO, it is because China, who owns many companies in Vietnam has been suppressing the currency right along with the Chinese Yuan. It is this, that President Trump, is negotiating for as he wants an even playing field for those that want to do international commerce. He wants individual countries to stand on their own two feet without other countries stifling progress.
