AM😷NGST EVENTS AROUND THE WO🌍RLD THIS PAST WEEK…
*Has the world reached a “breaking point”??? (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)
*The state of the world, as of February 12, 2022.

THE RUSSIA UKRAINE SITUATION...
*Getting civilians out of potential harm's way. (There are 6/SIX separate links in this item.)

THE TERRORIST REPORT…
*The Free Choice E-zine does not support terrorism, no matter what the “cause” or alleged “justification”. Thus we will only be posting news items in this section whenever terrorists are brought to justice.

THE CLIMATE CHANGE CHRONICLES…🌐
*The future of clean energy??? (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)

😢PASSING PARADE…
*Actress Margarita Lozano (A Fist Full of Dollars, Long Day’s Journey Into Night, more) has taken her last bow on life’s stage.
*Former Major League Baseball⚾ player Gerald Williams has passed away.
*Synclavier co-inventor Jon Appleton is no longer with us.
*Betty Davis of Funk-Rock fame has passed away.
*Musician Ian McDonald, founding member of King Crimson and Foreigner, is no longer with us.

WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA…
THE BORDER WALL-KIDS-IMMIGRATION ISSUES…
*Former “President” Trump declared a “national emergency” to build his border wall, separating families upon apprehension. President Joseph Biden nullified the emergency, but other matters pertaining to these issues still have to be dealt with.
NOTE: While we are doing our best to provide coverage, the above is a serious, ongoing issue. Especially since no one has yet to fully discuss the health and safety of all the “detainees” as well as the various costs under Donald Trump of separating families and who is truly responsible for the deaths of FOUR “detainees” (known to date), let alone if anyone might actually be making a profit from this situation.
CAPITAL CHAOS: JANUARY 6, 2021>AFTERMATH
*SHOCK! Former “President” Trump regularly destroyed documents he wasn't supposed to! (There are 2/TWO separate links in this item.)

SOCIAL (IN)JUSTICE…
*“No housing for you.”—Dave Chappelle, others.
😷THE US VERSUS COVID-19…
MEANWHILE, IN CONGRESS…
*Opinion: The losing side???
ELSEWHERE…
*It should come as no surprise that among its other “policies”, Florida’s “government” is apparently against solar energy too.
*The 2021 Razzie nominees, for the worst in movies, are…
*The 2021 Oscar nominees, for the best in movies, are...
*February 14 is the 110th anniversary of Arizona becoming the 48th member of the United States.

THE WEEK IN REVIEW: FEBRUARY 6-12, 2011

Amongst events that have happened around the world this past week:

THE LATEST FROM EGYPT:
*After almost three weeks of relatively peaceful protests on the part of the demonstrators, President Hosni Mubarak finally stepped down late Friday night, although the fact that it was shortly after the Swiss government agreed to freeze all his accounts until it could be determined what was legitimately his and what actually belonged to Egypt might just be a coincidence.
*FACTOID: Being President of Egypt officially only pays the equivalent of about $900 US Dollars a month. Even with being President for 30 years, that only accounts for roughly $324000 US Dollars of Mubarak's total assets, currently estimated at somewhere between $40 to $70 MILLION US Dollars!
*Meanwhile, free elections are tentatively scheduled for this September while the military oversees the country in the interim. How all of this will affect Egypt's relationship(s) with other countries remains to be seen.

ELSEWHERE:
*United States Homeland Security is preparing for a possible increase in terrorist activity as America approaches the tenth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attack.
*NASA's Stereo satellite system (which has nothing to do with audio) has completely photographed the surface of the sun.
*In their latest computer development, IBM's WATSON, a system based upon voice recognition software, is scheduled to take on Jeopardy's two greatest all time players: longevity champion Ken Jennings, who played 74 consecutive games, and the highest actual prize winner: Brad Rutter, who won over $3.2 million US Dollars. The competition is scheduled to begin Monday on the syndicated game show. Check local listings for time and channel.

IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS:
*Activision/Blizzard has announced that it will not release any more volumes within its Guitar Hero franchise.
*Although highly anticipated by gamers, no release date has been set by Nintendo for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. When released, this will be the most physically active title within the Zelda franchise yet, requiring the Wii Motion Plus remote to play.

IN SPORTS
*The Green Bay Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 31 to 25 to win the 45th Super Bowl in American Football.
*Spring training for professional American Baseball is scheduled to begin next weekend.
