The New York Post deserves a Pulitzer. And Joe Biden needs to step down. Or Washington’s credibility is shot.

Hunter Biden’s Infamous Laptop Confirmed In New York Times Report (NYPost)

A comprehensive report about the ongoing federal probe into Hunter Biden’s tax filings published by the New York Times on Wednesday night confirmed the existence of the first son’s infamous laptop. In October 2020, The Post exclusively reported on the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop that he ditched at a Delaware repair shop in April 2019. The laptop’s hard drive contained a trove of emails, text messages, photos and financial documents between Hunter Biden, his family and business associates — detailing how the president’s son used his political leverage in his overseas business dealings. The repair shop owner reported the laptop to the FBI, which seized the device and its hard drive.

As part of their investigation into Hunter Biden, the Times reports, federal prosecutors have looked into emails between the first son and his former business associates that were recovered from the laptop. Some of the scrutinized correspondence was between Hunter Biden and Devon Archer, who had served with the first son on the board of Ukraine energy company Burisma, the report said. Archer, who was sentenced last month in an unrelated fraud case, has “cooperated completely” with the feds in their probe into Hunter Biden, The Post has reported. According to the Times, the emails between Hunter Biden, Archer and others regarding their international business activity came from files the publication obtained that “appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop.”

People familiar with the emails and investigation confirmed their authenticity to the Times. The laptop confirmation was included in the Times report that also revealed how Hunter Biden paid off a tax liability of over $1 million — a year after he announced he was under investigation for defrauding the IRS. Hunter Biden has been under investigation for failing to pay taxes since his father was vice president, but the inquiry broadened in 2018 to look into how his international business dealings intersected with President Biden’s political career.

“He must have known full well that the story wasn’t “a bunch of garbage.” He must have known full well that it wasn’t “a Russian plant.”

Sure Seems Joe Biden Knowingly Lied about the Hunter Biden Laptop Story (NR)

Next time President Biden speaks about . . . well, about anything really, remember that he knowingly lied to your face about the Hunter Biden laptop story — which the New York Times confirmed today, and which Joe Biden must have known was entirely true when it was first published in 2020 by the New York Post. In 2020, Joe Biden responded to Donald Trump bringing up the Post‘s story by saying on live television: There are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what he’s accusing me of is a Russian plant. Five former heads of the CIA, both parties, say what he’s saying is a bunch of garbage. Nobody believes it except his good friend Rudy Giuliani.


This was a lie. Joe Biden is Hunter Biden’s father. He must have known full well that the story wasn’t “a bunch of garbage.” He must have known full well that it wasn’t “a Russian plant.” He must have known full well that Rudy Giuliani wasn’t the only one who believed it. Hell, he knew full well that Hunter Biden himself hadn’t denied the account, and instead had said that the laptop “absolutely” may have been his. And yet, when pressed, Biden said otherwise, because he assumed that the press and Silicon Valley would back him up in the lie. Which, of course, they did.

“..pending a “fact check[] by Facebook’s third-party fact checking partners” which, needless to say, never came — precisely because the archive was indisputably authentic.”

The NYT Now Admits The Biden Laptop Is Authentic (ZH)

One of the most successful disinformation campaigns in modern American electoral history occurred in the weeks prior to the 2020 presidential election. On October 14, 2020 — less than three weeks before Americans were set to vote — the nation’s oldest newspaper, The New York Post, began publishing a series of reports about the business dealings of the Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, in countries in which Biden, as Vice President, wielded considerable influence (including Ukraine and China) and would again if elected president. The backlash against this reporting was immediate and intense, leading to suppression of the story by U.S. corporate media outlets and censorship of the story by leading Silicon Valley monopolies. The disinformation campaign against this reporting was led by the CIA’s all-but-official spokesperson Natasha Bertrand (then of Politico, now with CNN), whose article on October 19 appeared under this headline: “Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say.”

These “former intel officials” did not actually say that the “Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo.” Indeed, they stressed in their letter the opposite: namely, that they had no evidence to suggest the emails were falsified or that Russia had anything to do them, but, instead, they had merely intuited this “suspicion” based on their experience: We want to emphasize that we do not know if the emails, provided to the New York Post by President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, are genuine or not and that we do not have evidence of Russian involvement — just that our experience makes us deeply suspicious that the Russian government played a significant role in this case.

But a media that was overwhelmingly desperate to ensure Trump’s defeat had no time for facts or annoying details such as what these former officials actually said or whether it was in fact true. They had an election to manipulate. As a result, that these emails were “Russian disinformation” — meaning that they were fake and that Russia manufactured them — became an article of faith among the U.S.’s validly despised class of media employees. Very few even included the crucial caveat that the intelligence officials themselves stressed: namely, that they had no evidence at all to corroborate this claim. Instead, as I noted last September, “virtually every media outlet — CNN, NBC News, PBS, Huffington Post, The Intercept, and too many others to count — began completely ignoring the substance of the reporting and instead spread the lie over and over that these documents were the by-product of Russian disinformation.” The Huffington Post even published a must-be-seen-to-be-believed campaign ad for Joe Biden, masquerading as “reporting,” that spread this lie that the emails were “Russian disinformation.”

This disinformation campaign about the Biden emails was then used by Big Tech to justify brute censorship of any reporting on or discussion of this story: easily the most severe case of pre-election censorship in modern American political history. Twitter locked The New York Post’s Twitter account for close to two weeks due to its refusal to obey Twitter’s orders to delete any reference to its reporting. The social media site also blocked any and all references to the reporting by all users; Twitter users were barred even from linking to the story in private chats with one another. Facebook, through its spokesman, the life-long DNC operative Andy Stone, announced that they would algorithmically suppress discussion of the reporting to ensure it did not spread, pending a “fact check[] by Facebook’s third-party fact checking partners” which, needless to say, never came — precisely because the archive was indisputably authentic.

While You Weren’t Paying Attention (QTR)

It turns out that the party who spent four years accusing President Trump of Russian collusion performed a massive cover-up for Joe and Hunter Biden heading into the 2020 election that they have yet to be held accountable for. Go figure. I remember speaking to my father around the time of the election about the Hunter Biden laptop story, where presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son’s laptop was found to contain proof that the former Biden sold his influence to China while his father, the latter Biden, was Vice President of the United States. And in the midst of an ongoing media cover up of that story, I also remember talking to my father about former Hunter Biden business partner Tony Bobulinski coming forward and blowing the whistle on the Bidens in an effort to get the public to take notice.


Instead, Bobulinski was only given airtime by Fox News’ Tucker Carlson and was otherwise shunned and ignored by the rest of the left-leaning media. We both had watched Bobulinski’s interview and found him to be extremely credible. I remember my father saying that the censorship of the story and the story itself could, combined, be the biggest political scandal of all time. This caught me by surprise because my father, who has voted both Democrat and Republican over the last handful of elections, has lived through quite a few scandals. But now I understand what he was getting at. Selling your influence to China while running for President is a big deal. The media covering up that story completely in the United States in the midst of the election? An even bigger deal.

Because when you step back and objectively examine the issue of Joe Biden’s business dealings in China, it appeared that he was actually engaged in the types of conflict of interest that his party spent four years accusing President Trump of. Again, go figure. And then there was the laptop. After the New York Post broke what should have been a Pulitzer worthy story that Biden’s son had a laptop filled with incriminating evidence (in addition to dick pics taken while smoking crack with hookers), the story was promptly blackballed in the mainstream media and was talked about nowhere other than conservative news outlets. In fact, the mainstream media didn’t even give the story one shred of an objective chance. Half of the liberal media organizations covered the story as Russian disinformation, while the others didn’t carry it at all. The story was literally laughed off of TV and television as some kind of conspiracy theory.

And then a funny thing happened when the nation didn’t have access to what would turn out to be highly credible information: Joe Biden got elected president and, several months later, Politico reported that some parts of the laptop, including emails at the “center” of the controversy, were credible – a far cry from writing off the laptop as Russian disinformation.

Let’s see those charges.

NY Times Admits Hunter Laptop Authentic, Possible Basis for Charges (Turley)

Last year, National Public Radio admitted that the Hunter Biden laptop was authentic and not Russian disinformation. It appears to have taken the New York Times even longer to move along that journalistic path of the Kübler-Ross process of grieving. The Times has now expressly and unambiguously stated that the laptop was abandoned by Hunter Biden, contains authentic emails, and is part of the basis for the ongoing investigation of Biden by federal authorities. Even with this admission against interests, the Times is downplaying the possible criminal charges in coverage strikingly different from its coverage of Trump officials charged on the same grounds. For those of us who have written about the laptop for two years, it has been a constantly barrage of criticism of spreading “Russian disinformation” or discussing manufactured emails.

Notably, the Biden family never outright denied that the laptop belonged to Hunter. They just kept repeating that it was Russian disinformation. It did not matter that recipients of the emails confirmed the authenticity of the messages detailing extensive influence peddling schemes by the Biden family. The Biden campaign assembled the usual list of experts to shut off debate by declaring that this was all false. It was a mantra from President Biden to a legion of reports. As Biden stated “There are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what he’s accusing me of is a Russian plant. [F]ive former heads of the CIA, both parties, say what he’s saying is a bunch of garbage.” The press ran with that account despite the early determination of American intelligence that it was not Russian disinformation.

Washington Post columnist Thomas Rid wrote said the quiet part out loud by telling the media: “We must treat the Hunter Biden leaks as if they were a foreign intelligence operation — even if they probably aren’t.” Let that sink in for a second. It does not matter if these are real emails and not Russian disinformation. They probably are real but should be treated as disinformation even though American intelligence has repeatedly rebutted that claim. It does not even matter that the computer has seized the computer as evidence in a criminal fraud investigation or that a Biden confidant is now giving his allegations to the FBI under threat of criminal charges if he lies to investigators.

“NATO has a responsibility to prevent this conflict from escalating further,” Stoltenberg said..”

German Chancellor Scholz: NATO Will Not “Intervene Militarily” In Ukraine (DW)

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg met with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock on Thursday, as the war in Ukraine entered its fourth week. The meeting came just after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the German Bundestag via video link. Scholz opened his remarks alongside Stoltenberg by praising Zelenskyy for his “impressive words.” But the German leader reiterated NATO’s refusal to intervene militarily in Ukraine. “One thing must also be made clear: NATO will not intervene militarily in this war,” Scholz said. Scholz’s view matched statements repeated by Stoltenberg on Thursday that the military alliance’s involvement in Ukraine would increase the likelihood of the war spreading.


In Berlin, the NATO chief said the alliance’s job is to de-escalate the conflict. “NATO has a responsibility to prevent this conflict from escalating further,” Stoltenberg said. “That would be even more dangerous and cause more suffering, deaths and destruction.” Stoltenberg also met with German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht and German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock during his visit to Berlin. Beside Lambrecht, Stoltenberg called Germany’s new defense commitments of a special fund of €100 billion ($111 billion) and plans to commit 2% of GDP to its defense budget “impressive.” Baerbock said Germany is considering stationing more troops on NATO’s eastern flank.

Putin Lays Out Demands For Cease-Fire In Call With Erdoga (ZH)

In a Thursday conversation with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly outlined the conditions for ending his invasion of Ukraine. According to a BBC report, a Turkish official who listened to the call between the two leaders said that Putin would end his invasion if several conditions are met including a promise that Ukraine will remain neutral and not join NATO. Erdogan’s leading adviser and spokesman, Ibrahim Kalin, said Russia is also calling for Ukraine to undergo a disarmament process to mitigate threats to Russia in the future as well as legal protections for the Russian language in Ukraine. Additionally, Putin reportedly desires promises related to the “Denazification” of Ukraine.


Putin, according to the report, is also asking for face-to-face negotiations with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to hammer out his demands which Zelenskyy has previously stated he is not opposed to. According to Kalin, there were other conditions Putin listed that he did not go into much detail about but he believes they will involve territories that have broken away from Ukraine in the eastern Donbas region. The report states that it is “assumed” Putin will ask Ukraine to give up territory in the east and formally recognize that Crimea, which Russia illegally annexed in 2014, is a part of Russia. The demands are in line with previous reporting that stated Putin has told Ukrainian officials he will end his invasion if six major conditions are met. News of Putin’s willingness to negotiate an end to the war comes as his invasion enters its fourth week.

U.S. Dept. of State Thinks It’s an Authority on Fake News (RCP)

Some say America has a fake news problem. They might be on to something. Americans’ trust in our media is at one of its lowest points, and social media has made disinformation easy to spread. But as America is tackling its own fake news problem, our government is pretending to be experts on it in Zimbabwe. In fact, the U.S. is sending $100,000 to Zimbabwe to help that country tackle fake news, according to a grant notice from the U.S. Department of State. The grant description states that the goal of the grant is, “To improve and promote adherence to international best practice in implementing fundamental freedom of speech and the press freedom.”


It encourages a three-pronged approach: Strengthening public understanding of freedom of speech and press freedom, improving media literacy to combat disinformation and increasing media sustainability, innovation and professionalization. The idea that the U.S. is an expert on disinformation, free speech, and combating censorship, and that it should be teaching them to other countries, is absurd. Between domestic debates on big tech censorship, the increasing polarization of news outlets, and increasing disinformation on social media, the U.S. has no business telling other countries the right way to do such things, let alone spending tax dollars to do so.

@parsifaler thread: MOLECULAR MIMICRY.

A Terrifying Monster To Blood Vessels – And Neurons (Chesnut)

OMNIPOTENT TROPISM; OMNIPOTENT MOLECULAR MIMICRY: A Terrifying Monster To Blood Vessels – AND NEURONS! Most Likely More. I don’t quite know how to say this. But I am shaking as I write this. I was smoking a cigar and contemplating a DM an amazing (and famous) doctor sent me. The DM was about Pericytes and the Spike Protein. And I just kept thinking about it. Slowly, it dawned on me. And now I am shaking as I write this. Spike in Endothelium. Spike in Pericytes. Spike in Basement Membrane. Spike in Myelin Sheath. Spike in Axon. Spike distributed through Blood Vessels. Spike distributed through Axons. Inducing Fibrosis. Inducing Autoimmunity. Don’t you see? It is an omnipotent burrower! And why? Because of its massive TROPISM!

And then I remembered a paper I had read from 2005. It talked about how Coronaviruses cause MS via molecular mimicry. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain how a viral infection could lead to an autoimmune disease. Amongst these mechanisms is molecular mimicry. According to this model, a non-self agent first activates an immune cell. Then, the cell recognizes a self-element that shares antigenic conformation with the pathogen and directs a response towards it. Individuals who are genetically predisposed to respond to this antigenic determinant of a pathogen having a similar conformation to a determinant on a self-antigen could develop an autoimmune response following infection. Shared sequences or similar determinant conformations between coronavirus and myelin proteins such as myelin basic protein (MBP) and proteolipid protein (PLP) have been identified.

Molecular mimicry provides a unifying mechanism that could explain both the genetic and environmental aspects in the triggering of MS. So, if an ORDINARY Coronavirus can induce MS. What about one whose Spike Protein has a SIXTY-FOLD increase in peptide sharing? A massive heptapeptide sharing exists between SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein and human proteins. Such a peptide commonality is unexpected and highly improbable from a mathematical point of view, given that, as detailed under the “Methods” section, the probability of the occurrence in two proteins of just one heptapeptide is equal to ~ 20-7 (or 1 out of 1,280,000,000). Likewise, the probability of the occurrence in two proteins of just one hexapeptide is close to zero by being equal to ~ 20-6 (or 1 out of 64,000,000). That’s right. The odds of TWO shared peptides occurring is 1 IN 1.28 BILLION. It may be that everything the Spike Protein touches is either attacked by the body, turns to scar tissue, or both. My God. Stop this MADNESS!

Voice of Doom Dr Fauci Warns US Could Face More Covid Lockdowns (DM)

America’s top infectious-disease expert warned that the country could face more COVID-19 lockdowns if cases go up once again due to the latest variant, even as the most cautious begin to shrug off their virus fears once-and-for-all. Dr Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease and adviser to President Joe Biden, said easing restrictions, the waning protection from vaccines and the rise of the BA.2 subvariant around the world could bring on another wave of rising infections to the U.S. ‘If in fact we do see a turnaround and a resurgence, we have to be able to pivot and go back to any degree of mitigation that is commensurate with what the situation is,’ Fauci said in a CNN interview on Thursday. ‘We can’t just say, ‘We’re done. We’re going to move on.’ We’ve got to be able to be flexible because we’re dealing with a dynamic situation.’


Fauci added that the variant, which has seen a spike in the UK, could cause a surge in the U.S. as it appears to be as infectious as Omicron, but less fatal. ‘The overall mortality is actually down,’ Fauci said. ‘It’s a very interesting situation where the cases are going up, but it does not, at this point in time, appear to be any degree of severity.’ ‘We generally follow what goes on the UK by about two to three weeks,’ he added. ‘I would not be surprised in the next few weeks, given the fact that we’ve begun to open up, and we have an increase in the BA.2 variant, that we’ll be seeing an increase in cases.’ The warning came as COVID restrictions have been lifted all across the country amid a sharp drop in daily cases after the Omicron surge earlier this year.

Covid Immunity Declines Steeply In Care Home Residents In England (G.)

Immunity declines steeply among care home residents in the months after Covid vaccination, a study has found, leading to calls for regular boosters for the most vulnerable. The study of more than 15,000 care home residents found that protection against hospitalisation and death fell by one-third three to seven months after vaccination. The decline is far sharper than that seen in younger people, where immunity against infection wanes, but protection against severe illness appears to be robust. “What we’re seeing is that they are at increased risk of infection, hospitalisation and death as immunity wanes, and those increases look quite big,” said Prof Laura Shallcross, a public health expert at University College London and author of the paper. “That’s not good news at all.

“It suggests annual boosters in residents may not be enough,” she added. From April, a second booster (fourth dose), is being offered to adults aged 75 and over and residents in care homes. Further boosters could be rolled out in the autumn, depending on advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), the health secretary, Sajid Javid said this week. The latest findings, which have been published as a preprint, could be influential in shaping this decision. They come from the Vivaldi study, funded by the UK Health Security Agency, which monitored Covid in staff and residents in 331 care homes across England from December 2020 to December 2021.

The researchers found that two vaccine doses were effective at preventing 85% of hospitalisations and 94% of deaths among care home residents between two and 12 weeks after the second dose. But this protection fell to 54% of hospitalisations and 63% of deaths at three to seven months after vaccination. The trajectory looked very different in the 19,000 staff who were also tracked in the study. In staff, with an average age of 45, protection against infection fell just slightly from a 50% to 42% reduced risk after three months. There appeared to be no substantial waning in immunity against severe disease for staff, with very few hospitalisations occurring after vaccination.

Stagflation Trap Will Lead To Universal Basic Income And Food Rationing (Smith)

This past week during a conference discussing Biden’s “Build Back Better” scheme House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was confronted with questions on skyrocketing inflation. After referring to higher gas prices as the “Putin Tax”, she went on to offer perhaps the dumbest (or most insidious) denial on the causes of inflation that I have ever heard. She stated: “When we’re having this discussion, it’s important to dispel some of those who say, well it’s the government spending. No, it isn’t. The government spending is doing the exact reverse, reducing the national debt. It is not inflationary.” Anyone with a basic understanding of economics and how central banks operate must have felt their brains explode when they heard this, I know I did.

But before I get into the numerous reasons why this claim is completely false in every way, I want to give a warning – It’s very easy in this situation to assume that Pelosi and even Biden are making these arguments because they are too stupid to grasp the fundamentals of debt creation, money velocity and fiat. That said, never mistake evil for mere ignorance. All higher level representatives of the White House are briefed by economic experts (spin doctors) well before they answer any questions on inflation, and the things they say have been carefully scripted. It’s possible Pelosi mixed her lies up a little bit, but the narrative the establishment is trying to promote is well planned. Asserting that money creation is a counterbalance to inflation instead of the cause is not brilliant, but it’s not designed to convince many people, only create confusion.

Let’s not forget that only last year these same people were telling the public that inflation was purely “transitory” and that there was nothing to worry about. Now they are trying to cover their tracks and the culpability of the Federal Reserve. I believe the goal here is to simply stall for time until the stagflationary collapse unfolds. They have the perfect scapegoat as they launch an economic war with Russia (and likely China in the near term), and the effects of this war will hurt the US and Europe far more than many realize.

    “NY Times Admits Laptop Is Real”

    Yes, everyone on earth already knows. The real question is “Why now?” And, since the NYT would rather die than tell the truth, how did they get them to print it? Who made that decision? And why on the 17th of March, 2022?

    “Sure Seems Joe Biden Knowingly Lied about the Hunter Biden Laptop Story (NR)”

    Among the many problems. Joe and Psaki both bare-faced lie they didn’t know anything, it wasn’t possible, while there were photos with Joe and the Ukrainians, the Rosemont negotiators every day.

    Usual lie count: About every other sentence. Also NY reporters must live each minute quaking in fear and cry under their beds at night. Every other word was “Fear” “fearsome” “terrifying”, “alarm” “concern” “vulnerable”. Look, I’m not here to read about your personal feelings. I’m sorry you’re afraid of everything in life, but not everyone is like you. Some of us are men, and adults. But in fact children of 10 would not be afraid if you described it to them, a war half the world away, barely going on. So you are more sissy than a child.

    cyberattacks, which have been strangely missing from the conflict so far.” –NYT

    Yes. About that. And the NYT also requests the chemical attacks, which NYT says Russia uses all the time! Daily almost. But this tells you two things: one they were counting on Russia to take down the financial system for them (specifically stated) and they are planning a chemical attack shortly to blame on Russia instead. Least surprising ever. Let’s see if Russia changes up their war approach before the West pulls one off.

    One thing the NY Times did NOT say: anything about the 30 Bioweapons labs Russia presented as verified documents to the UN Security Council. Nothing. No news. Never happened.

    Using their Putin telepathy: “Analysis: Putin’s chilling warning to ‘traitors’ and ‘scum’ is a sign things aren’t going to plan” –CNN

    Is that why The View called for arresting traitors and scum such as Congressmen and service veterans who are pro-peace?

    Who else is anti-peace? YouTube flags Tulsi for too much peace in her videos. It’s only a warning for now, but they’ve got their eye on her if this “peace” thing spreads.

    DemocracyNow has got the message and is presently Pro-War. You see, in order to have peace, you have to have a war FIRST. A BIG war. Like WWIII. Then you have peace. Amirite? War? That’s what “peace” is all about.

    So Putin would not have a monopoly on stupid, selfish, and oppressive. He’s losing the arms race for stupid. We’re the Exceptional Nation and we’re #1.

    Reality check, from Germ’s interview and some articles today, Russia is not cut off much at all. What happens is, WE in the West, U.S. Canada, Western Europe, South Korea and Japan, decide something. Then we say “The World” did it. In fact, China, India, South America, all of Africa, plus a bunch of other countries aren’t participating at all. Which is X GDP and X military depending how it’s calculated but is like 1/5th of global population. So if we had a vote, “the West” wouldn’t make the second run-off.

    That’s important because if you’re embargoing a nation, militarily, economically, you can’t let 2/3rds of the ships through. But then every breath from their pie-holes is a lie. I mean, unless the West is going to intercept and pirate ships headed to India. …Which they have already done.

    “World’s Top-Ranked Tennis Player May Need to Denounce Putin to Play at Wimbledon”

    But we’re sure winning the war on tennis.

    War we’re not winning? Joe is disarming us and leaving us helpless. Draining the oil reserve. I have mixed feelings on this, as that’s what it’s for – to supply during a crisis – but at the same time, what wold normally be a crisis like today’s prices, are not enough when you might be in a LIVE SHOOTING WAR as soon as tomorrow. Then it’s reckless bordering on treason to undermine the nation’s readiness to such a level.

    I had a terrible thought that may be coincidental while musing on the war. The reason Russia and the commodity producers can finally go on strike and regain some power is because if they stop, people won’t eat. Won’t have steel, aluminum, etc. That’s because supply-demand are always at a delicate balance, and we need an abnormal decay in supply — such as destroying and mothballing all of American production and labor — to reach such a point of leverage. So now with no supply, demand is outrageous and Russia can sit easy in the surety of their power.

    But what if there were no people? We can’t stop the war, we can’t get into Russia, but what if the population of the planet, i.e. the demand, dropped by 1/3 before we start the war? Then Russia loses their leverage and are unable to break free as they are trying today.

    So as a war gamer, a strategist, my recommendation is to have 1/3 of our own domestic or worldwide populations die before we start our techno drone-strike missile-war. The kind of war that needs no people. Then we win. What’s better, the population will be both alarmed and most amenable to authoritarianism –clearly – but also not having a large enough body to overthrow us. And as Xi said, “After all this [i.e. Covid] is over we’ll be far richer.” Yes, we take the houses of the 1/3 who die, and the State distributes them to our friends as a payoff, a pressure-relief for the economic pressure everyone is under right now. So really, murdering everyone on earth is logical, essential, and profitable. Because we need to do that before we murder the remainder in the war. What was that Deagle again? Or Alexa answering what Britain’s population will be in two years?

    Gonzalo Lira. This is exactly what I’ve been gathering from the war, and from what any normal, non-insane (that is, non-Western) army would do there, if you follow the very simple path of crediting what Russia has said, what their goals are, and what they need to accomplish. If you don’t believe what they write and just make up random stuff, isn’t that just a conspiracy theory? That I don’t care what the evidence is, what’s in my imagination is what’s actually real. I mean, when you ignore Russia’s official statements, isn’t that what you’re saying?

    Ukraine was massing an army to finish the genocide of ethnic Russians in Donbas. That’s why Joe was signaling the false flag that would kick that off. Russia was massing so they wouldn’t get invaded, would have a lot of refugees there. Instead, of course, Russia – having tracked the Nazi, murdering, ethnic-cleansing Azovs through the whole Ukrainian military over the last 8 years, even down to facial ID and fingerprints – invaded the day before Bandera Day and therefore bottled up most of Ze’s army in about an hour. They of course were dug into Donbass, but positioned for offense pointed south at the time, and not prepared to have half the Russian cavalry in their rear with rocket attacks.

    Same was true in other locations. Obviously Ukraine doesn’t need much army to stop Poland, so the army were all near the Russian border. And since Russia was invading to stop the total genocide anyway, they invaded at some of the other points and flat-footed the remaining army, surrounding it. All supplies cut off. Then? Why be in a hurry? We don’t want civilian casualties. We let them, encourage them, draw them, try to make them shoot off their besieged artillery, waste their bullets, and eat their rations. When those are gone, oh well: The war is over. Then Russia matches them against their 8-year database and shoot the bad guys in the head at a military review, which is standard practice, I think. This leaves the standard Ukrainian army, the usual dog-faces as well as some white hats, intact.
    And that’s exactly what has happened. So far at least.

    “German Chancellor Scholz: NATO Will Not “Intervene Militarily” In Ukraine (DW)”

    Because mouth: lie. Biden openly sent $800M to Ukraine. They are open about sending massive weaponry through Poland. The NYT article above is astonishing in their double-talk that we send weapons to POLAND – and they’d better not attack Poland, mister or I’ll drink another latte and harangue you again – and yet somehow Putin is a coo-coo Nazi to think that the weapons we openly sent, on camera, to Poland, for Ukraine…are somehow entering Ukraine and attacking Putin. Which is what they are for. What a maroon! Putin thinks that the $800M Joe sent for weapons in Ukraine, are somehow become weapons crossing the border to Ukraine! Can you believe that guy? The NYT instead thinks that the weapons arrive in Poland, but then using magic, do NOT cross the border illegally in NATO trucks as an involvement and escalation of war, but magically transmogrify into Kiev using teleportation and Stargate Wormholes.

    But: NY Times. What can I say? They haven’t written a truthful sentence since Sept 10th.
    Germany “Will not intervene”? You mean like those smuggled arms and the full and complete info intel the CIA is providing to the Azovs hosted on YOUR military bases? That kind of intervening? I mean aside from providing and transiting the weapons and money.

    Must be a day ending in “Y”.

    This is one little granular piece of a holographic presentation about mind-control experiments in the US since at lease 1953. Graphene oxide has very special features, like spike protein does, and they may be synergistic together in opening the paths through the blood brain barrier, allowing self-constructing nanotech machines into the brain, and to interface with individual cells. RF AI data interfaces complete the system. Own nothing, Be happy…

    Interfacing Graphene-Based Materials With Neural Cells

    The scientific community has witnessed an exponential increase in the applications of graphene and graphene-based materials in a wide range of fields, from engineering to electronics to biotechnologies and biomedical applications. For what concerns neuroscience, the interest raised by these materials is two-fold. On one side, nanosheets made of graphene or graphene derivatives (graphene oxide, or its reduced form) can be used as carriers for drug delivery. Here, an important aspect is to evaluate their toxicity, which strongly depends on flake composition, chemical functionalization and dimensions. On the other side, graphene can be exploited as a substrate for tissue engineering. In this case, conductivity is probably the most relevant amongst the various properties of the different graphene materials, as it may allow to instruct and interrogate neural networks, as well as to drive neural growth and differentiation, which holds a great potential in regenerative medicine. In this review, we try to give a comprehensive view of the accomplishments and new challenges of the field, as well as which in our view are the most exciting directions to take in the immediate future. These include the need to engineer multifunctional nanoparticles (NPs) able to cross the blood-brain-barrier to reach neural cells, and to achieve on-demand delivery of specific drugs. We describe the state-of-the-art in the use of graphene materials to engineer three-dimensional scaffolds to drive neuronal growth and regeneration in vivo, and the possibility of using graphene as a component of hybrid composites/multi-layer organic electronics devices. Last but not least, we address the need of an accurate theoretical modeling of the interface between graphene and biological material, by modeling the interaction of graphene with proteins and cell membranes at the nanoscale, and describing the physical mechanism(s) of charge transfer by which the various graphene materials can influence the excitability and physiology of neural cells.

    Following Dr D’s piece, hiked to the top post, previous.

    I think that Putin’s recent message to the Russian people shows that what is planned by Russia (for now) is a cutting off from the W, thus from a certain version of ‘Globalism’ and into a mild to medium-strong form of ‘isolationism’…’national boosting’ ..etc.

    For the first time, in public speech(es) Putin has been making reference to W degeneracy, drug addiction, theft, and has appealed to Nationalist Sentiments, not just in a general standard, more or less friendly way (each to his own culture, etc.), or even mild rah-rah *Russia Tops*! theme, with platitudes, but by singling out ‘internal’ elements that are not supporting Russia – 5th columnists, etc. ( > link.)

    This fits with the de-nazification of Ukraine, we see an appeal to National (territorial..) Unity, where ‘internal elements’ (e.g. Azov, Banderistas, 5th columnists in Russia, etc.) are to be, well, on some scale, going from, mildly dissed to threatened with death.

    Mind Control Tech Advances blog post is a few, but critical excerpts from the newest Spartacus research report. (pic of me shoveling dirt) https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/mind-control-tech-advances?s=w

    This research article by Spartacus follows upon others that reveal a deep intelligence investment in the technology of SARS-CoV-2, the engineered virus, now with variations, and genetic-engineering “vaccines” to help your body make spike protein itself, for months on end.

    This explains a frighteningly plausible big picture of the road to Build Back Better World.

    A Hypothetical Mind Control System

    Based on the aforementioned technologies, we at ICENI have come up with a concept for what mind control by these methods may look like:

    Someone receives a COVID-19 vaccine. This vaccine contains both genetic material coding for SARS-CoV-2 Spike and mind control nanotransducers.

    Genetic material for SARS-CoV-2 Spike becomes integrated into genome via LINE-1 reverse transcription. Subject now constantly produces Spike.

    SARS-CoV-2 Spike injures and permeabilizes the blood-brain barrier, allowing the nanotransducers to cross the BBB and enter the brain (this endothelial toxicity also causes a great deal of blood clotting abnormalities in many people).

    Nanotech crosses cell membranes and takes up residence in, or alongside, the neurons.

    Some of the nanotransducers self-assemble into larger antennae, electrodes, and nanoelectronic components capable of receiving RF in frequency ranges that can deeply penetrate brain tissue.

    5G base stations use beamforming and MIMO to focus directed beams of RF into the subjects’ heads.

    The RF energizes the nanotransducers by wireless harvested power.

    An external encoder/decoder unit begins sending signals to stimulate specific brain regions, with the nanotransducers acting as an interface.

    The subject is now under the effects of precision mind control.

    ​ ​There are many drawbacks with this method. The spatial resolution and fidelity of using RF for this is very low. Two-way communication may be an insurmountable technical hurdle, but one-way stimulation of a specific brain region may be possible. Another drawback is the rather extreme EMF exposure the brain suffers, with far-field RF being beamed directly into it.

    ​ ​Finer control and two-way communication may be possible with near-field electromagnetic resonance instead of RF harvesting, using something far more intimate and obvious, such as a neurohelmet (like with Battelle’s BrainSTORMS).​..

    ​ ​Here’s a link to a clip of Dr. Pierre Gilbert, in 1995, stating, quite literally, that the Elites were planning to inject people with mandatory vaccines that would contain nanoparticles that would enter the brain and act as RF receivers.​

    ​https://tv.gab.com/channel/seejay/view/dr-pierre-gilbert-1995-vaccine-61897df28ac7bef71e09669e​ …

    ​ However, BCIs (brain computer interfaces) have a dark underbelly. Their rapid development is being funded and backed by military think tanks and intelligence agencies, with the supposed goal of giving soldiers an edge in combat, allowing them to control drones with their minds and have video feeds piped right into their heads.

    ​ ​Soldiers with BCIs implanted in their brains could have their sensory perception and emotional regulation altered to view the enemy as monsters, just like that one Black Mirror episode. Or, they could have their emotions deadened completely to make them fine with killing. Such a military is also coup-proof. Any rebellious thoughts are simply deleted from their heads. Their anxieties, erased by stimulation of their pleasure centers. Their fear, their hatred, abolished. Basically, they’re reduced to bio-robots.

    ​ ​The same technology could also be applied to the citizenry, without our knowledge or consent, neutralizing aggression and self-interested tendencies and rendering us docile and compliant servants of the technocratic New World Order. You, the reader, may view this as highly unethical, and it is. However, it is not illegal. There are no regulations that specifically forbid BCIs from being used to alter people’s affective states, mood, and cognition, thereby turning them into obedient slaves. It is the task of regulators to make autonomy-violating BCIs illegal before they can be used to harm us.​..

    ​ Consider what the World Economic Forum said, about how people will own nothing and will be happy. What they mean by this is that servitization will replace private property (i.e. renting things on a temporary basis, like driverless Ubers, Lime bikes, and Rug Doctors), and that the remainder of the satisfaction of owning things will be made up of what we at ICENI call techno-psychosocialization; using things like BCIs and drugs to provide a reward stimulus that would have been previously obtained by accomplishing real goals and obtaining real goods through real effort.​..

    ​ With a wealthy upper caste interested in anti-natalism, Neo-Malthusianism, and “sustainability”, one can be certain that techno-psychosocialization would be used to limit the luxuries of the lower classes and provide an illusory substitute. With a neural lace pumping pleasure into your brain, you could be living in a shanty town built from corrugated aluminum like in Ready Player One and feel like you’re on top of the world. Fried locusts would taste like caviar to you.​..

    ​ ​Picture if they had the ability not only to make people comfortable with their own genocide, but actually have them walk into a disposal unit with a smile on their faces, all at the touch of a button.

    Vis a vis ongoing dialogue with Dr. D
    My Metamucil kicked in earlier today.

    D said and I’m grateful for his response to me:

    “And I don’t know we will attack Saudi because Saudi Arabia has no oil. Gawar was at a +90% water cut even 10 years ago and their other fields are as old. That’s why they’re attacking Yemen, a war which is failing and so they can’t pump there either, not even hypothecate the drill holes they can’t make. But the point stands. As Ukraine and Syria had a sudden and miraculous uprising the minute they didn’t side slavishly FOR the West, who is looking for a new miraculous uprising today?
    I’m not sure, because I think they’re too busy.”

    However, you’d recognize your factual counterpoint works both ways, doesn’t it?
    If there is no oil in that God awful Saudi earth then there is no basis for Prince MBS to refuse POTUS’s calls except, perhaps, a Trillionaire (Saudi royalty) is a far different animal than a billionaire=oligarch.
    And the Russo-Uko War at least proved the billionaire-type oligarchs are fair game.

    Then the absence of “oil in the ground” also proves the antithesis that the U$D has nothing to fear from a Petro-Yuan currency which lacks a materialfoundation.

    … on a financial / investment note, … via JP Morgan, a clearly bullish trend is predicted over the next two weeks:

    “[t]he question of month-end and quarter-end rebalancing flows by multi-asset investors has again been resurfacing in our client conversations given the 11% decline in global and US equities in 1Q22 to-date … We expect to see significant flows by both monthly and quarterly rebalancing funds towards the end of this month … We estimate the potential rebalancing flow for the end of March at around $230bn out of bonds and into equities from multi-asset investors such as balanced mutual funds, US defined benefit pension funds, the Norwegian oil fund, the SNB and the GPIF. Investors have become the most overweight cash since March 2020 … We believe that the pending equity rebalancing flow by US defined benefit pension fund plans into quarter-end is likely a net buying of around $126bn. In other words, US defined benefit plans would need to buy $126bn of equities towards the end of the current quarter and sell a similar amount of bonds for their allocations to revert to end-December levels.”

    In short, a real potential for rising bond yields – which means lower bond prices – will lead to a massive truck loads of investable assets flowing into global equities! Rejoice, …

    SHOCKING!

    The trial of nearly 1,400 Covid-19 patients at risk of severe disease is the largest to show that those who received ivermectin didn’t fare better than those who received a placebo. “There was no indication that ivermectin is clinically useful.” https://t.co/ax51qlymix

    You must be wondering why they put so much effort into blocking IVM, even to go so far as running corrupted trials to try and show it was dangerous, or trials where IVM was given to people a day before they died. Must make you wonder.

    Doesn’t make me wonder, I have grown into an adult and understand that there is nothing people will not do to further their own interests. Apparently here is no right or wrong, so everything goes and anyone, such as you, who believes in the goodness of government, will become a willing bug on the windshield.

    Some here, including myself, gave up on Naked Capitalism a long time ago. But that was due to policy measures on commenters more so than the articles themselves. At least that is my belief/

    Anyway, there is an article up today that makes so much sense, in so many ways, that it should be shared.. Or maybe I’m being over dramatic. I’s still worth a read.

    The World Could See A Record-Breaking Oil Supply Shock

    The only thing I know is whatever our leaders do, it is always aimed directly at us!
    We are always the end target!

    Our leaders are not afraid of the Russian people.
    It is us, they are afraid of!

    Our leaders don’t control Russia.
    But they sure do want to control us!

    So our leaders “appear” to be pointing at the Russians today.
    But really they are pointing “directly” at us!

    Nope, don’t see it…but will look some more for just a hint…

    I am with you, this picture is amazing, I love it, it suggests all sorts but nude man on a train is not one of the ones it creates in my brain. As you say, keep on trying.

    There’s a movie about that: Kingsmen. Where they use the cell phone frequency to create a worldwide rage. Books about it: Sea of Glass. And it is rumored to have been used already, in African genocides in the 90’s. Now that was a different mechanism, because they didn’t have the nanotech side of it, but apparently used radio emitters like today’s microwave guns to create a generalized, violent malease. Proof of concept. And so thus moved forward with funding for a worldwide beta version. I’d be shocked if they didn’t. I don’t know what could stop them: the concept is clearly functional, the motive is clear, and they have the money and time. Really, the question is why they haven’t got it operational 15 years ago. Because they’re glue-sniffing morons, I assume. Certainly they are always far less smart than and capable they believe.

    Maybe they do have it now, but only for certain individuals carefully chosen and altered, with tuned equipment, but can’t yet be made generic to everyone without problems. But: all speculation. It’s not like we’ve had national news reports about doctors mistreating and experimenting on people in Quebec and America for just this sort of thing. If they did, I’m sure CNN would tell us and everyone would know.

    Maybe there’s a middle ground: Saudi is a modest oil producer like Chad, but the world still watches them closely. They are also hundred-billionaires, so they still maintain a lot of power. They own the power of the present depleting oil, and it is presumed by those in the know that they will take Yemen. The cost and extent of that war now suggests that they’re in it for more than sport, and that there’s something there. Also they aren’t in a hurry and aren’t bothered, so perhaps it’s an intentional planned genocide of every last Yemeni? The U.N. and Twitter applaud.

    Also “Saudi” is a blanket view for UAE, Omar, etc. who still have a lot of gas etc. So collectively they’re not finished. The CIA – heck, everyone – already tried to unseat Saudi with the MBS wrangle-killing that ultimately involved Kashogi(agent of Muslim Brotherhood), including it is said, the major assassination event in Vegas. If anything tells you the media can have an open, war-level firefight in the streets of a major U.S. city, cameras everywhere, and nothing happened and nobody was responsible, that tells you how complicit the media is and how locked-into the people are. And where’s my D.C. bomber? Just came up that apparently Congresses’ questions have caused the FBI to begin asking. They hadn’t been looking before now.

    “a clearly bullish trend is predicted over the next two weeks”

    Hearing that from my traders too. Seems impossible, but there it is in the charts. Pop answer is that the market already discounted Powell’s fake rate hike that will immediately reverse into stimulus to Infinity and Beyond. Maybe. Or maybe that’s a plan. When it’s like this you have to follow things one turn at a time.
