A spectre is haunting Europe – the spectre of communism. All the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police-spies. Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?

You got a special kick for you Air Jordan 3 international flight you ready to check these up? Alright, let's go
I'm John from 20 out there
4747
Yo, I'm not gonna lie that game looks super dope
The game was hosted in LA Magic Johnson always puts on a show. They did a charity event
Both teams went off and MJ had 54 points. And today we have the International 3d and
Where is DJ Luca for Oh?
Like you said the two teams they had over 200 plus points curve team that's about 400 plus 1 plus
Yes
Off in the pond system. Ha. Yeah, but either way the it was it was a crazy game
Well, I was there I had a great time
Ok
Now that the uniforms are red and blue so they obviously commemorated that here with the colorway the elephant print classy
It's got kind of like a off-white cremation. What do they call it? Sale white now these days. Yeah. So, uh, I
Need you back, bro
Report live rollin hurry, it will be given you are reviewing the shoe
Alright, let's get into it Air Jordan 3 international flight retail
$190 releasing June 30th. Let's give you a couple different angles boom boom. Boom and that's gonna wrap up the review
See you guys in the next episode
Alright fine, I guess I'll give you guys a better review than that for the uppers
You have the tumbled white sale leather. This leather is actually very very nice on the tongue
You have Jordan?
Signature on the left shoe also notice the blue and red eyelids to match the midsole
Looking at the back of the shoe
you can see that it is very
Similar to the Air Jordan 3 Katrina, except for this one has a blue jump man instead of a black one
Also, if you look at the elephant print throughout the sneaker, it's very very nice. It's a little bit lighter than normal
Here you have a hallway outsole with a red and blue hit on it
And here's a final look at the sock liner and the insole and has stars throughout the sock liners and then it has a red
insole and it says
International flight the same logo that is on the Box ARIA Charts my time to go take it back to AJ and Eva
So
How do you guys feel about the review? Yeah, was it cool?
I mean, I don't know this comes down to the part where it's all about our opinion
Now, what do you think about um, I loved sale I'm gonna be honest with you. I love this
the color sale is really dope that all white I think is I think is really popping right now this by no means
Looks vintage
But I think running off white instead of a coke white always is the switch-up that everybody likes the leather on the upper. I'm
Loving it. I'm really rocking with it for a new colorway something different and what it means I think is cool
They did a solid job. Is it a cop?
It's not for me. I feel it. Yeah, I think
Out of all the threes that have come out in the past couple years
These are not a cop for me either. These are a great
Midway's shoe in between the katrina and a true blue 3, I like that
They used like a subtle braids that has like a black or like a darker Norah elephant print gray
I think you bet she's pretty well with distinctly. I think it's more just because I can see on 4th of July
attack of the clones
Everybody's gonna be rocking. So I mean if I were to purchase this shoe
I would say I'm gonna hold this for a couple of years and then maybe I'll bust it out, but you know next week
It's everybody's gonna be rocking one thing. I will say that I can't do is the wide open mics or
Ever I can't do the white zone
It just it gets dirty way too quick and the solo in the three is so hard to clean
I just I rather not even deal with it deal with that. But overall it is a clean shoot very clean colorway I think is
Significant and a moment in time that most people don't know about MJ's scoring 54 and the charity game
overall, who cares
yeah, Jordan wants to tell a story with everything that they have so they can sell product about end of the day like
Some people are gonna feed it to it. I'm not but it is what it is
Yes, so let us know where you think this Jordan 3 ranks in the collection of all Jordan 3's to ever release
I don't even know if it's time 15, you know, I'm saying like it's one of those things like there's so many great colorways
So, please comment down below. We're definitely interested in seeing. What do you feel about this shoe?
Is it a hit for this year? Is it gonna be ranking in the top 10 sneakers of the year?
Like where does this rank for you? That's where we're really interested. All right, John. We appreciate you guys
Like the photo like the video not the photo
Comment. Let's start a conversation. I want to know your top team just list them down below your top ten threes

We appreciate you guys and continue watching and we'll continue
The Bucks, oh, yeah. Yeah, let's film the bar before we in the video once they get in the paper in the paper
What's this the first the first off I think the fact that just watched it, yeah
first of all, I think the fact is the Bucks is maybe
it's different, but it's just a regular new retro box, which I'm kind of disappointed in but
This should've did a Jordan 3 box they should've do something special if they was gonna do that. Did you notice the countenance?
But yeah, they have the continents on there
The Germans are Chicago
We gotta go
Brother su Gago
Chicago to China tail

More specifically, 8 Easy Ways To Stay Healthy As A Hardcore Gamer
1.
HYDRATION Hydration is right here at the top of the
list because above all things, this should be your priority, and this is a long one.
Did you know we can actually get thirst pains?
It's not just a dry mouth that lets you know you're ready for a drink.
Sore eyes and/or neck, headaches, and finger/wrist pains are all major red flags when it comes
to Hydration.
Water is needed to carry acidic waste away from your cells, and when we're dehydrated,
these wastes don't go anywhere, and leave our nerves to interpret this as pain.
2.
FOOD What should we be eating while gaming?
It's a hard one, mainly because of dietary and energy requirements, but I'll try give
you the basics.
Specific food choice of course varies based on availability, expense, and personal preference,
but here are some healthy alternatives: • Apple Slices
• Carrot Sticks • Celery
• Banana • String Cheese
• Granola • Pop Corn
• Grapes • Yogurt
As a bonus, consuming healthier snacks not only helps prevent bad things, but also provides
better overall energy for the gaming session.
3.
EXERCISE Here's another few easy things to do in
and around your Hyperion leather rule-the-world chair.
• Put your hands right up, grasp one another and create a circle above your head, then
bend your torso to the right, feel the stretch under your armpit and hold for 10 seconds.
Repeat on the left side.
• Do 10 push-ups, there's no harm, and if you can't do standard ones yet then just
plant your knees on the ground or do them up against a wall.
• While sitting, lift your leg all the way up until it's as straight as Pagan Min,
then hold for 2 seconds while he kills your family, oops, was that a spoiler?!
Repeat with the other leg.
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is also becoming very common among 9-5 workers and gamers due
to the extended use of our hands and it seems no-one knows about it
4.
POSTURE AND STRETCHES Here's another really important one (as
if they all aren't).
It's vital that you maintain good posture.
Sit upright, back straight, chin slightly tilted down and BAM, +10% maximum health-
I think.
Seriously, bad posture, slouching or those many weird ways you lie down on your bed while
playing games will lead to problems with digestion, breathing, muscles, joints and ligaments and
of course we need all those to keep ourselves alive until Half Life 3 comes out.
Lots of gamers report sore necks, shoulders and backs which are huge problems.
Make sure your TV or Monitor is at eye level with you so you're not straining yourself
too much.
5.
EYE STRAIN Eye strain is overlooked a lot when considering
what might cause you pain or discomfort while gaming, and it's a really short one to cover-
in fact, why don't you just jump down to the next tip.
6.
BREAKS Taking breaks tie in with eye strain, hydration
and exercise, so it's a lot easier to cover that all at once now.
Here's what I do.
I'll usually play a game for around an hour or two.
I'll stand up and stretch which feels pretty good, go for a walk around the house, drink
a glass of water and refill another to take back to the Batcave.
To finish I'll go through a quick exercise routine, a bit more intense than the one listed
above before planting my butt back down for some more questing and what not
7.
VENTILATION Another short but sweet one, as obvious as
it sounds, get some fresh air (like what normal people breathe).
Open a window if you can, a door even and let fresh oxygen enter your system, this allows
your muscles to lock and load for another battle on Hoth.
8.
WEIGHT LOSS This is an extra tip for people who might
be looking for something a little bit more hardcore, let's call this veteran mode,
or uber mode, or impossible- wait no, not impossible.

You Won't Believe How Many Trump Supporters Mueller May Indict - Duration: 12:37.
You Won't Believe How Many Trump Supporters Mueller May Indict
Robert Mueller had overstayed his welcome.
Even those who initially supported his investigation have turned on him.
And now he just admitted when his investigation will end.
It's no surprise to anybody paying attention that Robert Mueller's investigation into
Russia collusion during the 2016 election isn't going well.
So far he's overblown a meeting held in Trump tower that turned out to be a waste
of time.
He has indicted a number of Trump officials on non-Russia or Trump campaign offenses.
And now he seems to be out of cards to pull.
It is becoming increasingly obvious that the entire investigation is a witch hunt meant
to harm President Trump and Republicans.
Now the New York Post is reporting that Robert Mueller is looking to end his investigation
by this fall.
He is supposedly planning to indict 13 people association with Donald Trump's campaign
who had suspicious contacts with Russians.
Those mentioned include Attorney General Jeff Sessions, former national security adviser
Michael Flynn, Donald Trump Jr., and a number of others.
The timing of the indictment is important in this case.
If it is released just before the election, it opens up the possibility that the entire
investigation is nothing more than a ploy to hurt Republicans.
Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani has stated that if the investigation affects the outcome
of the election, Mueller could find himself being investigated for election interference.
Democrats have already created precedent with that claim because of former FBI Director
James Comey.
Democrats have used the harsh words that Comey used against Hillary Clinton and her use of
a private email server as an excuse for their loss against Donald Trump.
If Mueller releases his report on Russia collusion close enough to the election that there is
no time to review it, it will mean bad news for him.
Giuliani has told him to complete his investigation by September to avoid being investigated.
If he doesn't, it could end badly.
Russian influence in the 2016 elections will be extremely relevant during the upcoming
midterm elections.
Democrats have been threatening to impeach Trump over rumors of Russia collusion since
the day he was elected.
If they gain control of the House and Senate they very well could do that.
There has been no president in history that has been as much trouble for the left as Donald
Trump has.
His election killed the Clinton dynasty and created turmoil among the left.
He brought the injustices that have occurred at the hand of government institutions front
and center, questioning the FBI, Obama Administration, and countless other government agents.
Robert Mueller is their best chance to put a stop to all of the progress President Trump
has made.
But Trump supporters will continue to stand with him.
There has been no President besides George W. Bush, post 9/11, who has higher approval
in his own party.
His approval rating is climbing.
It will be an uphill battle to defeat Republicans aligned with Trump in 2018.
Do you think Republicans will do well in the upcoming midterm elections?

At 80, Jane Fonda Says Kissing Scenes are Harder: 'I Worry About the Wrinkles' - Duration: 3:01.
Plenty of things improve with age—but Jane Fonda, 80, says movie kissing isn't one of them
"In real life kissing is better now, but in movies I worry about the wrinkles," she tells PEOPLE in this week's issue
"I'll be perfectly honest. You want it to be a beautiful thing . . . you don't want a lot of loose skin to be hanging when you kiss
If you move around too much, things start to fall!" Fonda stars alongside Diane Keaton, 72, Candice Bergen, 72, and Mary Steenburgen, 65, in the new movie Book Club, (in theaters May 18) and the four women sat down with PEOPLE to talk about love, beauty, friendship and more
In the movie, the women's love lives are revitalized after they read the Fifty Shades of Grey series
Both Fonda and Steenburgen say it's refreshing to play older women who are still interested in love and sex, though Fonda doesn't believe every woman over 65 is still filled with desire
RELATED VIDEO: Jane Fonda Admits to Still Swooning Over 4-Time Co-Star Robert Redford: 'I Fall Into His Eyes' "I think it's very individual," she says
"Some people have closed up shop down there, and for others the sex only gets better
" Adds Steenburgen, "I think the movie uses Fifty Shades as a device to put a microscope on everybody's life and say, 'What are you missing?' I liked that
People don't put adult women in films and give them a life other than somebody's weird aunt

'Leave No Trace' Stays With You - Duration: 5:08.
'Leave No Trace' Stays With You
"Leave no trace.
It's a phrase you hear a lot in and around our National Parks — it's the camper's creed, the standard they hold themselves up to: That while enjoying the scenery, you should leave your site exactly as pristine as you found it.
Director Debra Granik's new movie Leave No Trace is about a father and daughter who take that notion further than most.
It's a film about being on the run, even when no one's in pursuit.
We meet Will (Ben Foster) and his 13-year-old daughter Tom (Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie) as they're collecting mushrooms and edible leaves, filtering rainwater, shaving sticks to start a fire.
The two are way, way off the grid, isolated in a forest that looks and feels like it's miles and miles from civilization.
But then. comes the buzzing of chainsaws.
Immediately, and with a clearly well-practiced efficiency, they drop everything, head from their campsite into the underbrush and, within seconds, are invisible.
They're good at disappearing.
They do it whenever the outside world encroaches, and have been doing so for years.
Tom's pretty much grown up in these woods, vanishing whenever the need arises.
But this time, it's different than all those practice runs, all the drills Will has had them go through.
Because this time, she gets spotted.
And a bit later, when they hear dogs, it's clear that whoever spotted her has reported it to the authorities.
Granik, who directed 2010's excellent Winter's Bone, is adapting a 2009 Peter Rock novel called My Abandonment — which, like Winter's Bone, is a story told from the point of view of its young heroine.
Leave No Trace maintains that focus: It locates us squarely in her head, so we feel her growing distress once social services get involved.
Even with the best intentions, they disrupt what has been for her a stable if isolated existence.
We learn that something drove Will to drag himself and his daughter into the woods — something that probably has a lot to do with his military background, and the nightmares that awaken him screaming most nights.
The authorities — compassionate and sensitive — do their best to provide support while leaving the two alone.
It's a strategy father and daughter take differently to, dad being broken, his child not.
Played warily by a grizzled Foster, Will watches and waits, never giving away his feelings.
McKenzie gives daughter Tom a riveting stillness that thaws into adolescence as she encounters pet rabbits, beehives, a boy.
A split between them was always coming, regardless.
biology would see to that.
But the filmmaker creates — often without words — a portrait of a relationship that's grounded and solid, even when father doesn't know best.
Leave No Trace treads softly, breaking not a twig.
but boy, do you know it's been there.
