“..Kennedy is flirting with attempting to get the Libertarian nomination, and the Libertarian party has ballot access for the Presidential ticket in all 50 states..”

And Now There (Really) Are Two… or Three (Denninger)

Haley is out and IMHO good riddance. She was wildly more-dangerous than Victoria Nuland, who is also leaving and there is speculation that’s because an FOIA was filed for records that could implicate her in the Lira’s torture and death in Ukraine; he was of course a very loud critic of Nuland’s views and US Ukraine policy, which got him jailed for what in the US would be considered Constitutionally-protected free speech. I don’t know if Nuland had anything to do with it or not but that’s she’s out is good — what’s not disputable is that pretty-much the entire Ukraine policy since 2014 has been hers, including our sponsorship of Maidan. The destruction there in both material and people is hideous and as with Madame Albright’s myopic view of international relations born of her roots Nuland’s position appears to be equally-driven by personal animus. In my view both should have been jettisoned as soon as that became apparent, but obviously neither was.

That Haley had no path was known a couple of months ago, but eventually no matter how stubborn you are in the face of facts the money runs out because modern politics requires a lot of it, and the people spending it see it as a prop bet with a potential return. When the odds get long enough they stop paying and you stop running, like it or not. This of course means that with Biden being the incumbent and political party doctrine being that sitting Presidents with another term available may not be challenged in the primary it is now a two person race. Well, sort of. There are rumors flying around that Kennedy is flirting with attempting to get the Libertarian nomination, and the Libertarian party has ballot access for the Presidential ticket in all 50 states. Despite his policies being pretty much anything but Libertarian the party, of which I have decent internal knowledge of as I was elected to the EC in Florida, is very likely to embrace this move since it will both bring in money and, assuming he gets any material number of votes, and he will, further-cement their ballot position.

Politics makes for strange compromises sometimes and whether you like it or not that’s never going to change. While I wildly disagree with many of Kennedy’s views I might actually vote for him rather than write in Beelzebub or Cthulhu this November, should he run on the Libertarian ticket. I certainly can’t support Biden nor can I support Trump as on the critical issues facing this nation, all related to the rule of law, neither has delivered anything than a Bronx Cheer, albeit aimed in different directions and to the benefit of, in some cases, different people. I will remind everyone that 8 USC §1324 has been around since long before either Trump or Biden was President and that the Executive, of which the President is the head, has the Department of Justice, AG and FBI under same.

Further, every federal officeholder takes an oath to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States, including the ones they personally disagree with. There’s a process to change the law if you don’t like it and that process goes through Congress. Said law, were it to be enforced, would absolutely stop all of the illegal immigration games instantly and permanently as it lays out criminal felony penalties, including prison time of 5, 10, 20 and potentially life prison terms, for those who harbor or assist such immigration including those who employ said persons. Since both of the current “mainstream” candidates claim the situation is a critical problem (and I agree with this) but at the same time claim they don’t have the legal tools to deal with it and that is absolutely a lie I will not vote for either of them.

The same applies when it comes to monopolist practices riven through our economy, most-critically in health care as that has the largest impact on the Federal and State budgets. Again, 15 USC Ch. 1 §1-3 makes clear that such conduct, even the mere attempt if it fails, is a criminal felony carrying prison penalties for each person who is engaged in same. That law has been challenged twice to the US Supreme Court in the late 1970s and early 80s (Royal Drug and Maricopa County) and found Constitutional both times. Nonetheless neither major political party has lifted a finger to bring a single criminal charge under that law — not in health care or in any of the other merger and consolidation activities in any industry. Now will Kennedy vow to bring said charges? That would be a reason to vote for him. Of course he might be lying, but then again he might not. I already know the other two have lied and nothing they can say now will cause me to believe them thus “might” beats “won’t.”

There are many who think our markets and economy will chug along through 2024 and that “its just fine.” I argue the data says otherwise; consumer credit has gone vertical, for example, and lates are rising quickly, including in car loans which are more-likely to get paid than a mortgage because without a car you’re not going to work and then everything goes down the toilet for you in your personal financial situation. Thus if you have to screw someone as you simply don’t have the money to pay the last person you usually screw is the car finance company. I’m not dancing in the streets, incidentally, that Trump is the presumptive nominee. The Supreme Court’s 9-0 decision on Colorado the other day probably won’t stop some from trying to interfere in the election, but the Court made quite clear that the decision as to who is President lies with the people as the States and other apparatus, other than through Congress, simply do not have jurisdiction to force a decision other than by individual votes at the ballot box.

Col. Macgregor Response to Biden Speech Profoundly Accurate and Important (CTH)

The core targets within this information war are those who are talking about the entities who are controlling and directing the politicians and government. The voices who are considered a threat are not, repeat NOT, voices who are critical of government. The voices who are considered a threat are those who understand the government actors are controlled and intentionally presented as the false source of the problem. Just as Jack Smith is not the controlling entity organizing the targeting of Donald Trump, so too is Joe Biden (and the administration) not the originating entity who organized the Western sanction regime against Russia. Jack Smith and Joe Biden are essentially actors, vessels following a design that has been created by outside government entities for the purpose of targeting Donald Trump and/or Russia respectively. The bigger motives and intents of targeting both are essentially the same. There are trillions at stake.

Outside government actors like Mary McCord, Norm Eisen, Andrew Weissmann and crew are the organizers behind Jack Smith’s effort. They are the characters who coordinate with Fani Willis (GA) and Letishia James (NY). Those individuals are funded by outside government institutions. Ultimately, Jack Smith is the vessel. Within the Western finance system, Blackrock, Vanguard, the WEF and a host of similarly aligned massive financial interests are the organizers behind the Russian sanction regime. The USA government is the vessel. FOLLOW THE MONEY…. This is one of the reasons why the entire political establishment is behind support for Ukraine. Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street and a host of massive financial interests are the funding mechanism for U.S. politicians. The various Western governments and politicians are the vessels, not the originating sources of these policies. Macgregor doesn’t go deep in the weeds on this, but what he describes as the economic and financial outcome is entirely accurate.

“Biden didn’t walk away from Ukraine. He ran away from there, straight into issues about domestic politics because it’s a campaign address, not a State of the Union speech..”

Scott Ritter on Biden’s SOTU: ‘America’s Running Away From Ukraine’ (Sp.)

“Instead of a State of the Union address, the US Congress and indeed the American people were treated to a rousing campaign speech which POTUS was using to kick off the 2024 presidential election campaign,” former US Marine Corps intelligence officer and independent military analyst Scott Ritter told Sputnik. Biden “is facing the presumptive Republican nominee, former US President Donald Trump, in what many expect to be a very hot, very controversial and heated contest for who will be the next president of the United States. Joe Biden let off this State of the Union address, this campaign speech, by speaking about Ukraine, and about Russia, and about Russian President Vladimir Putin,” Ritter said. Quoting POTUS as saying during the address that America “will not walk away from Ukraine,” Ritter noted that “in many ways, the 46th US president is right.”

“Biden didn’t walk away from Ukraine. He ran away from there, straight into issues about domestic politics because it’s a campaign address, not a State of the Union speech,” the ex-US Marine Corps intelligence officer insisted. He suggested that Biden hinted at the necessity of releasing the $64 billion funding package during the Thursday speech “because it’s tied to domestic American politics and perhaps the most contentious issue of the day, that is border security immigration reform.” The $64 billion package is “being held hostage by Republicans in the House of Representatives. […] If Biden isn’t going to change his approach to immigration, the Republicans aren’t going to release the money – Ukraine isn’t going to get the assistance it needs,” according to the analyst. “America’s running away from Ukraine. And that’s the reality,” Ritter argued, adding that “people need to understand” that the next months will see Biden “almost singularly focused on domestic American policy, trying to differentiate himself from Donald Trump.”

“.. Biden is a “mad, mentally disabled individual who set his mind on dragging humanity to hell.”

Medvedev Calls Biden a US Disgrace (TASS)

US President Joe Biden should not have mentioned his predecessor Franklin Delano Roosevelt, because, unlike Roosevelt, he only disgraces the US, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said, commenting on the State of the Union address. “In the State of the Union address, Biden compared himself with Franklin Delano Roosevelt. That’s a so-so comparison. Obviously, not in his favour,” Medvedev said on his X page. ” He is the United States’ disgrace!” Medvedev pointed out that, even though the 32nd US President was an infirm man in a wheelchair, “he raised America from the Depression,” while Biden is a “mad, mentally disabled individual who set his mind on dragging humanity to hell.” In addition, the official continued, Roosevelt fought for peace together with allies, including the USSR, while “Biden is actively and persistently trying to start WWIII.” Finally, Roosevelt “was fighting against fascists, but Biden is fighting for them,” Medvedev concluded.

Tucker Carlson: Biden’s Address to Congress ‘Most Un-American Speech Ever (Sp.)

US journalist Tucker Carlson on Friday called President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address to Congress “possibly the darkest, most un-American speech” ever delivered by a US president, saying that it had been focused not on US’s national interests, but on pouring billions of dollars into military aid to Ukraine. “That was possibly the darkest, most un-American speech ever given by an American president,” Carlson said during a broadcast published on his X account, calling Biden a “cruel and vicious demagogue.” The US journalist described the president’s address as a “lie,” saying that Biden “quickly explained” that his top priority “has nothing to do with America” and was related to “sending billions more to Ukraine.” “There is lie after lie. ‘Ukraine can stop Russia.’ No, it can’t. This has been going on for over two years. ‘NATO is stronger than ever.’ No, it is not … It was crazy talk,” Carlson said.

On Thursday, Biden delivered the State of the Union address to the US Congress. The speech comes amid Washington’s efforts to provide further aid to Ukraine for use in its conflict with Russia. However, some Republican lawmakers have called on Congress and the Biden administration to address border security before approving more foreign aid. The president called on the US Congress to pass a $118 billion foreign aid bill that includes border policy reforms. The bill was blocked by Senate Republicans last month over concerns it did not do enough to resolve the border crisis. Biden also said that his policies are designed to keep drug cartels and human smugglers from profiting off the border crisis.

“..the second place in the State Department went not to the greatest hater of Russia, but to the greatest hater of China..”

Is This The Real Reason Why Victoria Nuland Quit? (Strokan)

According to Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, Nuland was forced to resign because of the failure of Biden’s course on Russia. “This is a failure of the policy associated with Nuland, because she was the central figure who pursued a Russophobic policy towards our country, the whole story was tied to Nuland,” Zakharova said. According to her, the outgoing US deputy secretary of state was “not just a high-ranking representative of the State Department, but a key figure in US interagency cooperation.” “She was a coordinator of anti-Russian sentiment and anti-Russian policy by the United States, especially in the context of Ukraine. I can’t say that she was an ideologue. There are people out there who hate us more, but she really was a coordinator, she is associated with that policy. And that is how they said goodbye to her,” the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said. Meanwhile, a theory has emerged in Washington that Nuland’s resignation was the result of a power struggle in which she lost the race for the post of first deputy foreign policy chief.

Some pundits see a battle of narratives, with behind-the-scenes jockeying of personalities. All part of a dispute over the long-term shape of US foreign policy and its priorities. It should be recalled that after Wendy Sherman resigned last summer as US deputy secretary of state, her duties were carried out for six months by Nuland. At the end of last year, however, the White House made the unexpected decision to nominate Campbell, another veteran of American diplomacy, for the second post in the diplomatic service. Campbell, who does not have as big a name in the diplomatic world as Nuland, has made his career not in the Euro-Atlantic but in the Indo-Pacific region. “Ms. Nuland was considered the natural candidate to replace Ms. Sherman on a permanent basis. But Mr Blinken nominated Kurt Campbell, the former National Security Council representative for Asia,” the New York Times commented on the reshuffle.

James Carden, a former US State Department official, told RIA Novosti: “I was actually surprised that she lasted as long as she did. I realised her time was up when Kurt Campbell got the second-ranked job at the department.” In a Senate vote on 6 February, his nomination received broad bipartisan support: 92 senators voted in favour, with five voting against. “President Biden’s choice of Kurt Campbell signals a desire to continue the efforts begun by his predecessors decades ago to shift the focus of US foreign policy to China as the major challenge facing America in the future,” AP commented on the reshuffle. “Kurt Campbell played a key role in developing President Barack Obama’s ‘pivot to Asia’ into President Biden’s Indo-Pacific strategy,” Yuri Tavrovsky, chairman of the expert council of the Russian-Chinese Friendship, Peace and Development Committee, told Kommersant.

“In practical terms, he was particularly active in the creation of the anti-Chinese military bloc AUKUS (Australia, the UK and the US) and in strengthening the military component of the QUAD group (Quadrilateral Security Dialogue – Australia, India, the US and Japan,” Tavrovsky said. “The appointment of Campbell to the second-highest post in the State Department demonstrates the White House’s long-term course of containing China, despite words and gestures that look like a desire for reconciliation.” Thus, according to Mr Tavrovsky, “the second place in the State Department went not to the greatest hater of Russia, but to the greatest hater of China.”

“I think he’s a true believer and actually believes that his status as Warlord-in-Chief helps him politically..”

Biden Tries to Blame Republicans for Coming Loss of Ukraine (Sp.)

President Joe Biden used his State of the Union speech to blame the Republicans if Russia wins the war in Ukraine by claiming Kiev could have won or survived if the latest $61 billion arms package had not been blocked in Congress, former State Department official and consultant on US-Russia relations James Carden said. “The way I heard the speech was Biden setting the ground to blame the Republicans for losing the war should they block further tranches of funding,” Carden told Sputnik. But Biden was still committed to his confrontational and warmaking policies in Ukraine, the Middle East and elsewhere around the world and showed no sign of wanting to change them, he emphasized. “I think he’s a true believer and actually believes that his status as Warlord-in-Chief helps him politically,” Carden explained.

Biden’s indirect admission that the planned next enormous military aid package for President Volodymyr Zelensky’s increasingly discredited regime in Kiev was blocked on Capitol Hill did not stem from any fundamental reassessment of US policy on backing Ukraine’s war against Russia, he said. Instead, Biden’s comments reflected his always primary concern with domestic politics and his obsession with getting reelected to a second term in November even though he is already 81 years old, Carden clarified. “The results coming out of Michigan, however, disprove his thesis,” Carden said.

Uncommitted voters in the US state of Michigan on Super Tuesday this week registered a protest against Biden and his policies, especially on foreign affairs, security and the invasion of Gaza. Some 100,000 voters, or 20% of those who participated in the Democratic primary alone, cast their ballots as “Uncommitted,” expressing a massive lack of support for the president in his own party with no other serious candidate to choose from. The $61 billion package is being blocked by Republicans in the House of Representatives until Biden changes his policies on illegal immigration and agrees to crack down on it. But because the president is determined not to change course on that, he will not get more aid approved for Kiev, his opponents have said.

China starts being involved.

China Wants Russia At Ukraine Peace Talks (RT)

China and Switzerland are working behind the scenes to get Russia invited to proposed Swiss-hosted talks aimed at ending the fighting between Kiev and Moscow, the South China Morning Post reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. Last month, Switzerland announced plans to organize a peace summit “by the summer.” No specific date has been named yet. The number of potential participants has also not been revealed. However, Ukraine indicated that Russia can only be invited if it agrees in advance to a litany of preconditions. According to the news website, China’s envoy for Eurasia Li Hui told EU officials that the summit “can’t be a conference that produces a plan that is pushed down the Russians’ throat.” The sources further told the publication that both China and Switzerland share a “pragmatic” view that the negotiations should not be just a formality.

Unlike many Western countries, Beijing has refused to blame Moscow for the outbreak of hostilities in February 2022, and has stressed that the conflict can only be ended through diplomacy. “The earlier the talks start, the sooner peace will arrive,” Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told reporters at a CCP event in Beijing on Thursday. He added that “the absence of peace talks… may lead to an even bigger crisis.” China proposed a 12-point roadmap to peace in February 2023. The initiative was dismissed by Kiev. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has, in turn, insisted that a settlement can only be based on the 10-point ‘peace formula’ he unveiled at the end of 2022. Moscow has rejected Zelensky’s terms as unrealistic, arguing that it will never surrender Crimea, which joined Russia in 2014, or the four former Ukrainian regions that did the same in September 2022.

Ukraine and its Western backers have branded the accession referendums “a sham” and accused Russia of illegally occupying Ukrainian lands. They later said that peace can only be achieved on Kiev’s terms. Russian Ambassador to Switzerland Sergey Garmonin told local media in January 2024 that a peace summit without Russian participation would be “doomed to fail.” Moscow maintains that it is open to negotiations but on acceptable terms. According to the South China Morning Post, Chinese envoy Li told his EU counterparts that Moscow had two preconditions for talks – ending Western arms deliveries to Ukraine and the revocation of Zelensky’s 2022 decree that states negotiations with Putin are “impossible.”

If Russia wanted Zelensky dead, he would be. And they sure wouldn’t kill a Greek PM as well, too messy.

“Do not betray… the memory of the Greek Resistance,” Zakharova urged Mitsotakis..”

We Will Not Be Intimidated By The Kremlin – Greek PM (RT)

The EU will not be intimidated by Russia and will continue to support Ukraine for “as long as it takes,” Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has said. Mitsotakis made the comment during his speech at the European People’s Party (EPP) conference in Romania’s capital, Bucharest, on Thursday, a day after his visit to the Ukrainian city of Odessa. During that trip, a Russian missile reportedly hit the port of Odessa 800 meters away from the motorcade in which Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and the Greek PM were traveling. “I was in Odessa yesterday with President Zelensky when a Russian ballistic missile hit the port during our visit to the facility and I think we all have a message for the Kremlin: We shall not be intimidated,” Mitsotakis vowed.

He described the conflict between Russia and Ukraine as “Europe’s darkest hour,” claiming that the EU’s determination to back Kiev and place sanctions on Moscow was “maybe unexpected for some of our enemies.” Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova responded to Mitsotakis’ statements in a post on Telegram on Thursday, insisting that “we [Moscow] never intimidated and aren’t intimidating anybody, including Greece.” She pointed out that Europe was not always the same throughout its history. “The Third Reich was also Europe. And for such a ‘Nazi Europe,’ we will always be an enemy,” the spokeswoman stressed. Zakharova recalled how during music lessons at her Russian school she used to study the works of Mikis Theodorakis, a legendary Greek composer most famous for Sirtaki dance music. “He, too, was an enemy of Europe, Nazi Europe,” she said.

Theodorakis was once a symbol of the resistance to the right-wing military dictatorship known as the Regime of the Colonels, which ruled Greece in the late 1960s and early 1970s. During that time, his music was banned; the composer was imprisoned for five months and eventually forced into exile. “Do not betray… the memory of the Greek Resistance,” Zakharova urged Mitsotakis. The EU has given Ukraine around 88 billion euros ($96.2 billion) since the start of the conflict in February 2022. Russian officials have repeatedly warned that the foreign aid provided to Kiev will not prevent Moscow from achieving the goals of its military operation, and will only prolong the fighting and increase the risk of a direct confrontation between Russia and NATO.

“If you knew that your power, status and legitimacy emanated from supranational interests, to whom would it be natural to show your loyalty? To the people?”

Europe Is in Danger of Falling Asleep in Peace and Waking Up in War (Dinisio)

No wonder, then, that Ursula herself is so fervently anti-Russian and Atlanticist. Of course, between 1992 and 1996 she lived at Stanford (again Stanford) in California, where she studied economics. Poland’s own Donald Tusk was part of an Independent Students’ Association set up in 1980, financed by the same people as before, which aimed to subvert Poland’s then socialist regime from within the academy. Later, it was members of this truly “independent” “association” who, on the ground, supported the organization of the Orange Revolution in Ukraine. In other words, what we see in Ukraine today is the result of a wide-ranging project to break up and submit Europe to the neoliberal, hegemonic and imperial interests of the USA. This European “shield”, as we can see, is built by a group that functions almost like a secret society, endowed with deep internal cohesion, based on the narcissistic feeling of election, exclusivity and belonging to an elite group, trained to lead, trained to manage the supranational interests of the monopolist state par excellence, the USA.

Now, imagine yourself in a group of people who, in addition to the fact that many belong to the wealthiest classes or the political aristocracy, are also inculcated, through the countless institutional resources at their disposal, with the idea that they are part of a restricted group, placed above the common man, destined to decide on behalf of the monopoly interests that hire them. Imagine that, belonging to such an elite, the common mistake, which normally costs a career, honor and even life, for these people is nothing more than a setback on the way to the top. Put in a position like this, how would they behave? With a sense of responsibility? Or with a total sense of impunity? If you knew that your power, status and legitimacy emanated from supranational interests, to whom would it be natural to show your loyalty? To the people?

The way in which the U.S., and the monopoly interests that make up its system of power, have subverted any idea of strategic autonomy for the EU, throwing us all onto a front line that is not designed to protect our interests, but their own, has consisted of handing over high politics, not to the most experienced statesmen, the most emerging leaders of the masses, or the most capable and competent public officials, but instead to a socially isolated Spartan strain (only in terms of organization, not customs), made up of careerists, incapable of distinguishing between public and private, national or international interests. For them, the interests of public affairs are confused with their own, and their own with those of their sponsors. They are one and the same, in a vicious cycle in which who wins and who loses is determined from the outset.

And if the actions of this privileged, elitist, segregationist and exclusivist group in terms of the European economy have the results in plain sight, when it comes to foreign policy, their actions also show what project their loyalties are expressed for. Victoria Nuland came to Europe to demand a show of support and received it in the form of a Macron who, summoning all the European leaders to the Elysée Palace, tried to discuss the possibility of sending European troops to Ukraine. If it weren’t for Robert Fico, who apparently doesn’t see himself in this select group of yuppies, we wouldn’t know that the leaders in whom the people of Europe are supposed to trust are discussing, behind closed doors and behind the backs of the very democracy with which they fill their mouths, something like the fuse that could ignite a third world war. In other words, they are discussing among themselves the use of Europe as a shield for the American sword, with total contempt for those they claim to govern.

“Western political leaders are only digging a deeper hole for their eventual collapse..”

Fearful Electioneering Turbo Charges Western Warmongering (SCF)

Western states are facing an acute political crisis whereby their established governing parties and leaders are fighting for survival amid a grave loss in legitimacy in the eyes of their electorates. In the United States, incumbent President Joe Biden is vying for reelection in November with historically lowest poll numbers ever for an occupant of the White House. Meanwhile, across the European Union, governing parties and leaders are braced for a drubbing from parliamentary elections in June. The roots of this unprecedented loss of legitimacy among Western political establishments are manifold. But surely one cause is the rank hypocrisy of Western leaders that has now been laid bare. How can political figures expect to have any moral authority when they are seen to be inveterate liars and shamelessly corrupt? Western governments and their servile media lecture about “democracy”, “human rights” and upholding “law and order”. They claim to be motivated by such principles in their support of Ukraine against alleged Russian aggression.

Yet these same governments are complicit in the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza through their unwavering support for the Israeli regime. Western leaders have been fatally exposed and compromised by the conflict in Ukraine and Gaza. The contradiction is terminal. That’s not just because of the blatant double standards and duplicity. Western voters are increasingly disgusted by the relentless financial and military support funneled into Ukraine to prop up a scamming regime comprised of NeoNazi ideologues. Under Joe Biden and the incumbent European politicians, the West has flooded Ukraine with weapons and hundreds of billions of dollars in what is the biggest war racket ever. This is while Western populations, workers, farmers, and businesses are hard-pressed with numerous social and economic burdens. Western governing parties are rightly seen as elitist and serving powerful minority oligarchic interests such as the military-industrial-corporate-financial nexus. Their declared vows about democracy are a contemptible joke.

The war in Ukraine is increasingly understood by voters to be a disastrous proxy war of choice that was pushed by U.S. and Western imperial objectives to confront Russia. Despite the squandering of public money to propagate the war, the U.S.-led NATO axis has lost its “great game”. The proxy war has devastated Ukraine, causing up to 500,000 military deaths in two years, as well as destabilizing the rest of Europe from increased migration, fiscal impact, deindustrialization, and the shattering of agricultural industries. Western populations are furious with their political leaders for having inflicted such chaos and waste of resources – as well as wantonly provoking tensions in international relations with Russia. Western politicians have pushed the world to the brink of an all-out war between nuclear powers. All this crazed folly is based on utter lies and deception – as the horror of Gaza and Western complicity illustrates. In this cauldron of electoral revolt, Western political leaders are only digging a deeper hole for their eventual collapse.

American President Joe Biden in his State of the Union address this week made a disingenuous pitch to voters. He portrayed the world as facing an existential crisis from Russian “tyranny” and simultaneously claimed the fate of US democracy was under threat from his election rival Donald Trump. In a dangerous and desperate move, Biden is conflating Trump with alleged Russian aggression. The Democrat president is fighting for political survival against Republican presumptive nominee Trump primarily because Biden is so deeply unpopular among American citizens. To boost his election prospects, Biden is making out that the country is facing an “inflection point” that requires rejection of Trump because he is “bowing down” to Russia. Trump and many within the Republican Party are opposed to continuing the proxy war in Ukraine, recognizing that it is futile.

Biden and the Democrats, who are more aligned with the U.S. foreign policy establishment, are therefore trying to make the election about an existential “defense of world democracy and peace”. Biden claimed in his State of the Union address that if the U.S. does not supply Ukraine with another $60 billion more in military aid then Russia will overrun the rest of Europe. Biden even invoked the memory of Roosevelt supposedly facing down Nazi Germany in 1941.

“..Israel has the green light from this White House to commit the worst and most flagrant genocide since the Second World War..”

Biden Parachutes TV Dinners Into Gaza. Sounds Absurd? It Is (SCF)

It’s a classic American public relations stunt. All show and drama signifying nothing else. President Joe Biden ordered U.S. military transport planes to airdrop food aid into Gaza purportedly to save starving people. Well, they’re starving to death because the United States is supporting the genocidal siege by the Israeli regime of 2.3 million people for nearly five months. The situation is unprecedented, invoking the worst crimes of Nazi Germany. Babies dying in hospitals from lack of food and water. And all due to American support for the Israeli regime carrying out this genocide. But, hey, come on, drop those food parcels. It sort of looks good. The C-130 cargo planes throw bails of ready-made dinners into the sky, which slowly descend on parachutes to the desperate masses on the ground. It’s the kind of Hollywood narcissistic depiction of American greatness always riding to the rescue. Pass the popcorn and soda.

Only when you think about it, the whole airdrop mission is absurdly inadequate. The U.S. Air Force has parachuted in 38,000 dinners to Gaza so far, and more are reportedly on the way. That’s only crumbs for millions of people who are starving to death because the U.S.-backed Israeli regime has blocked the hundreds of food aid trucks that should be entering Gaza daily. When a trickle of aid deliveries are permitted on the ground, the Israeli military has opened deadly fire on hungry Palestinians clambering for relief. International aid agencies have slammed the airdropped relief supplies as an inefficient way to meet the dire humanitarian needs in Gaza. Besides, the real target of the Biden administration’s relief effort is the American people who are disgusted by the complicity of Washington in genocide.

The public relations exercise of parachuting food into Gaza is meant to appease the growing criticism of Biden’s White House. As Joe Biden squares up to Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential election this November, the incumbent Democrat is in real danger of losing. Biden’s poll ratings have been flagging anyway, and especially over the horrendous disaster in Gaza. Younger voters and Muslim Americans who would normally vote Democrat are alienated by Biden’s craven complicity in the Israeli siege of Gaza. For months, Biden has refused to call on the Israeli regime of Benjamin Netanyahu to implement a ceasefire and let humanitarian aid into Gaza. The U.S. has blocked three UN Security Council resolutions demanding a cessation of military operations. In recent days, however, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris finally voiced support for a ceasefire. And then we see the American Air Force dropping off food supplies.

The belated moves are as cynical as they can get. They’re only motivated by Biden’s political need to bolster his electoral campaign. This week, it was reported that the Biden administration has secretly overseen over 100 separate weapons supply deals to Israel since it began its offensive on Gaza in October. Those sales amount to thousands of munitions including bunker-buster bombs, artillery shells, and other types of lethal ordnance. The transfers have been deliberately kept quiet by Biden owing to the potential public outcry. President Biden and his senior aides like Secretary of State Antony Blinken have refused to impose any conditions on Israel for the use of American weapons. Thus, Israel has the green light from this White House to commit the worst and most flagrant genocide since the Second World War. Not only merely permission but actual material support to enable the horror that has killed over 30,000 people – 70 percent of whom are women and children.

They’re now saying he was campaigning on Jan 6, so no immunity.

DC Court Greenlights Flurry of Jan. 6 Lawsuits Against Trump (ET)

A federal appeals court in the District of Columbia has issued an order allowing three Jan. 6 lawsuits to proceed against former President Donald Trump after a court rejected his assertion of presidential immunity. A three-judge panel at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued an order on March 8, allowing the three consolidated appeals to be “removed from abeyance” and approving motions for summary affirmance, meaning removing a temporary hold on the cases and allowing them to proceed. The lawsuits that are now allowed to proceed are Moore v. Trump, Kirkland v. Trump, and Tabron v. Trump. In all three civil suits, law enforcement officers are seeking damages based on the premise that President Trump incited a mob to storm the Capitol, leading to a violent incident in which they sustained various injuries and suffered harm, including emotional distress.

President Trump has denied calling for violence on Jan. 6, pointing to remarks he made encouraging his supporters to demonstrate “peacefully and patriotically.” The judges noted in their March 8 order that the merits of the three parties’ positions “are so clear as to warrant summary action,” and that the cases can proceed based on a Dec. 1 appeals court decision in Blassingame v. Trump that President Trump is not immune to lawsuits over the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol. In Blassingame v. Trump, the former president’s attorneys had argued that he should be granted immunity because his alleged actions around Jan. 6 amounted to official speech on “matters of public concern.” The judges’ reasoning in that case was that the former president’s actions leading up to and on Jan. 6 were part of his campaign for a second term in the White House and not an official presidential act.

“In arguing that he is entitled to official-act immunity in the cases before us, President Trump does not dispute that he engaged in his alleged actions up to and on January 6 in his capacity as a candidate. But he thinks that does not matter,” U.S. Circuit Judge Sri Srinivasan, appointed under President Barack Obama, wrote in the Dec. 1 ruling. “Rather, in his view, a president’s speech on matters of public concern is invariably an official function, and he was engaged in that function when he spoke at the January 6 rally and in the leadup to that day. We cannot accept that rationale.”

$91 million just to have the right to appeal a ludicrous case.

Trump Coughs Up $91 Million Bond, Appeals E. Jean Carroll Defamation Suit (ZH)

Former President Trump posted a bond of $91.6 million on Friday while appealing the recent verdict in advice columnist E. Jean Carroll’s defamation lawsuit. “President Trump respectfully requests that this Court recognize the supersedeas bond obtained by President Trump in the sum of $91,630,000.00 and approve it as adequate and sufficient to stay the enforcement of the Judgment, to the extent that the Judgment awards damages, pending the ultimate disposition of President Trump’s appeal,” Trump attorney Alina Habba wrote in court filings. In January, Trump was ordered to pay Carroll $83.3 million for defaming her in 2019, when he denied sexually assaulting her three decades earlier. The decision came after a separate jury ruled that Trump was liable for sexually abusing Carroll, which led to him paying her $5.5 million in cash – which he’ll get back also if he wins on appeal.

Carroll, 80, testified that Trump’s lies destroyed her reputation for telling he truth. “I am here because Donald Trump assaulted me, and when I wrote about it, he said it never happened,” Carroll said, adding “He lied, and it shattered my reputation.” During Trump’s trial, Judge Lewis A. Kaplan and the former president got into frequent verbal altercations – with Kaplan at one point threatening to toss the former president out of the courtroom if he wouldn’t keep his mouth shut. Kaplan also told Habba to “sit down” after she requested an adjournment tomorrow so Trump could attend his mother-in-law’s funeral – a request Kaplan had previously denied. And once Carroll ‘won’ the $83.3 million, she went on a disgusting ‘price is right’ diatribe over how she’ll spend her ‘winnings.’

“President Trump did in fact offer 10,000 National Guard troops to secure the U.S. Capitol, which was turned down..”

Jan 6 Comm. Hid Exonerating Evidence Of Trump’s Push For National Guard (Fed.)

Former Rep. Liz Cheney’s January 6 Committee suppressed evidence that President Donald Trump pushed for 10,000 National Guard troops to protect the nation’s capital, a previously hidden transcript obtained by The Federalist shows. Cheney and her committee falsely claimed they had “no evidence” to support Trump officials’ claims the White House had communicated its desire for 10,000 National Guard troops. In fact, an early transcribed interview conducted by the committee included precisely that evidence from a key source. The interview, which Cheney attended and personally participated in, was suppressed from public release until now. Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony Ornato’s first transcribed interview with the committee was conducted on January 28, 2022. In it, he told Cheney and her investigators that he overheard White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows push Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to request as many National Guard troops as she needed to protect the city.

He also testified President Trump had suggested 10,000 would be needed to keep the peace at the public rallies and protests scheduled for January 6, 2021. Ornato also described White House frustration with Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller’s slow deployment of assistance on the afternoon of January 6, 2021. Not only did the committee not accurately characterize the interview, they suppressed the transcript from public review. On top of that, committee allies began publishing critical stories and even conspiracy theories about Ornato ahead of follow-up interviews with him. Ornato was a career Secret Service official who had been detailed to the security position in the White House. Cheney frequently points skeptics of her investigation to the Government Publishing Office website that posted, she said, “transcripts, documents, exhibits & our meticulously sourced 800+ page final report.” That website provides “supporting documents” to the claims made by Cheney and fellow anti-Trump enthusiasts.

However, transcripts of fewer than half of the 1,000 interviews the committee claims it conducted are posted on that site. It is unclear how many of the hidden transcripts include exonerating information suppressed by the committee. Those documents support the committee’s narrative rather than the truth of the events leading up to January 6, 2021, said Rep. Barry Loudermilk, chairman of the House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight. “The former J6 Select Committee apparently withheld Mr. Ornato’s critical witness testimony from the American people because it contradicted their pre-determined narrative. Mr. Ornato’s testimony proves what Mr. Meadows has said all along: President Trump did in fact offer 10,000 National Guard troops to secure the U.S. Capitol, which was turned down,” said the Georgia Republican.

His subcommittee is reviewing the work of the January 6 committee, which has been accused of other unethical behavior at the expense of accuracy, as well as collusion with other Democrat efforts to prosecute political opponents. “This is just one example of important information the former Select Committee hid from the public because it contradicted what they wanted the American people to believe,” Loudermilk said. “And this is exactly why my investigation is committed to uncovering all the facts, no matter the outcome.”

    “Biden Orders “Emergency Mission” To Build Port In Gaza For Aid Shipments”

    America building a free port for Israel to pump that offshore oil and gas from. When every Gazans is dead…about next week.

    Thanks Yankee! Another billion dollar acquired. This message is Trump approved.

    “Killadelphia: 8 Teens Shot Near SEPTA Bus In Northeast Philly

    I guess Black Lives Matter. Hey, aren’t guns illegal in Philly?

    Speaking of, the Cromwell Martial Law in NY Subways. Soldiers in the streets! Mass hysteria! Okay, um, maybe y’all are Liberals and incapable of math but 750 soldiers are policing 8,000,000 people. That’s a 10,000 : 1 defense ratio. So….whatcha planning on doin’, fellas? Dropping a banana clip of .223 into the crowd on the “A” Train? A: Checking bags.

    Wait: so this is Biden-caused, Biden approved citywide stop n frisk? A: Yup. …But they promise it won’t be racially targeted…same as the last 30 promises over the last 30 years.

    Okaaaaaay, so do NYC underground usually keep their guns in their bags? A: No. They do not.

    Okaaaaaay, suppose the NY National Guard see something and say something, what do they do? A: Nothing. They have no legal authority for any police work at all. They can effect no arrests. They have less legal authority than a mall cop.

    So…do they make you take off your shoes? ‘Cause I sure see a lot of security theater here.

    Duran comments on more Macron Pinheaded posturing and comments, more pinheaded than even the usual for him. I know that seems impossible he could be more arrogant than before but it appears to be true! Some here are from Europe: my take is as we Yanks say: “He’s a Legend in his own Mind.” He thinks he has the gravitas of Napoleon, but everyone hates his guts and thinks he’s an idiot. Now, question: We know no one on the rest of the planet likes him, DOES anyone in FRANCE actually like him either? Or is your voting system as bad as ours? If so, my guess is he’s the equivalent to our UniParty RINOs, and he gets by on people over 60 and divides the others. Let me know, but I bet the first. Nobody likes him now AND nobody EVER liked him AND your voting system hasn’t worked in 20 years.

    Luckily, when he stood up yesterday and said France ought to go to open war with Russia, literally EVERYONE told him to shut up and sit down. ZERO pickup.

    AND, in British papers, the Pro-arms-dealer wing said in an OpEd: “Either they are all lying about Russia’s risk here, or we are very much under armed.” Uh, yeah…about that. You have ZERO arms being made. ZERO. UK tried to get FORTY nations into a world war; their contribution? ZERO increase in UK military budget. Um…All hat, No Cattle.

    HOW could they do all this with a straight face? Only ONE way: The UNITED STATES was going to fund, arm, and man it all SOLO. For FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! While Europe gets free healthcare.

    And I thought yesterday’s comments about Nikki were insane. This is 7 League Boots more insane than that. They make Victoria Nuland look like Einstein. Those naughty Amerca Firsters. Now why won’t they bankrupt themselves for our convenience? It’s YOUR JOB and our right!

    “DOD Report Shows Proposal To Look Into Reverse-Engineered UAP Craft

    Aliens again. IF we had Reverse-engineered UAP’s, and they don’t need rockets and thus oxygen, could they then land on the moon and use that nuclear power y’all were talking about?

    $1 Trillion every 100 days, and with free airflights and houses on demand to 10 million illegal non-citizens, rising fast. Here’s the thing: BOTH sides want it all to crash. Because it has to anyway. They just want it to crash on their terms. Each side wants to control what is built on the other side. That’s the only thing being jockeyed for here.

    “Jack Smith Says Trump Retention of Documents “Starkly Different” from Biden

    We totally agree. Trump’s was way better. First of all, Biden never had legal authority to have anything in the first place, ever. He also didn’t have “The head of the f—king Cinese spy agency” over at his house with his son. They were also locked and camera’ed, deep inside a (privately) secured facility.

    Listening to RFK, the people need structure. The Party of Chaos is against order, #Logos of any kind. Why are people living in cars? If they had structure, a job to go to, a goal to work towards, knowing what will happen tomorrow and plan and save for, it would all be fixed in no time, including a enormous swath of mental illness. ORDER. Being on time, everyone gets 10% more done, then can get paid 10% more! Magic!

    It is sad to count the Health Care issue. I’m not trying to pick on it, but it’s so huge and widespread I don’t want to forget it because there’s a war somewhere.

    Like Germany, if you get rid of the Nazis, stop lying, and fix the corrupt money, the nation booms overnight.

    “While I wildly disagree with many of Kennedy’s views I might actually vote for him rather than write in Beelzebub or Cthulhu this November,”

    That’s true since Trump also supports Israel in Gaza. One problem: so far so does RFK. However, it’s best if Congress decides RFK when both candidates are dead.

    “Since both of the current “mainstream” candidates claim the situation is a critical problem (and I agree with this) but at the same time claim they don’t have the legal tools to deal with it and that is absolutely a lie”

    Let’s see: if you’re a citizen and trespass, you can be held in solitary for three years without trial. Um…sure seems like they can do something!

    Col MacGregor: perfect example of a Grey Hat. So, he was happy to serve in Iraq, as a violent, voluntary, offensive war in the Middle East on patently false terms, in an opening bid to have a world war that the U.S. would reign supreme? Until that failed and the military realized they might need to adjust but the Secret State refuses? Yeah, I know. But you take allies where you can get them. We’re stuck with the Banks as our allies as well. Brrrrr.

    “Scott Ritter on Biden’s SOTU: ‘America’s Running Away From Ukraine’ (Sp.)

    Running away from Lira’s dead body. I like the theory that Nuland, being essentially the Secretary of State for Europe, was trying to start a nuclear war as a way not to lose the game. Although everything we see is already a puppet show, this was/is clearly “out of control”. White Hats have to pop out of the woodwork to tip the balance on her already borderline situation. The point is for Russia to DESTROY them all. But that can’t work if we lose trust in each other OR go full nuclear. It needs to bleed with Russia on top, reclaiming all Ukraine and bringing Europe to heel. Our “handing” Ukraine back to Russia is our reparations for all the s—t we’ve done since 1990. Probably what Trump-Putin discussed in that meeting they went bat s–t insane about. (I know: which one?) And we both need every neocon and Nazi dead, particularly in Europe. And to re-create a multipolar world. All that happens if there IS a Ukraine, but a Ukraine that plays out exactly like this, with us “barely involved”. That is, we have no more bombs to drop. We are disarmed. Every Nazi and soulless mercenary worldwide is dead, all the ones we missed sending to Syria. Such wars are utterly discredited, and about to be moreso when we monetarily collapse. Every NeoCon and everything they stood for, every slogan they had will be hated for generations to come. Pointed to as we say “What is that THING? That horrible inhuman THING?”

    But only if Ukraine is lost against Europe being stuck-in, and not if there’s a nuclear war, or a loss of trust on us both smashing Europe (really the UniState) together.

    Thinking, why do I have to suppose all this? About London? Well, they ran scenarios after “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” (1955), what if a foreign, alien power were puppeting … possibly anyone? Could be a 4-star, could be the President. What would you do to protect the country and fight back? This. So understand, ANYTHING THEY SAY, it’s also being READ BY LONDON. You literally can’t have communications in government that aren’t being also read by your enemy as well. Instantly. Preeeeeety hard to fight, yes?

    Now I believe they’ve turned tables on that. I think the White Hats now have equivalent back-doors into FISA and the Classification system and can, for instance, read everything Vikki Nuland writes. On her government computers. Trump can, and almost certainly did, write a letter as in “Clear and Present Danger” and if Biden has no idea the writ exists, he can’t reverse it. So 3rd CIA director of special projects is doing a light day job, but really 60% of his time is covering this and sliding the relevant points back to America First. No one knows. Why? THEY built the system. Like “The Winter Soldier”, it’s all compartmentalized so they can accomplish secret, hidden evil. But once you do that, you can use the same structures to accomplish hidden, secret good.

    So they are all, each reading each other’s mail, but also have to know WHO to read, since like Sauron, it’s not SEEING that’s relevant, it’s knowing WHO to focus on. So they post like MAGA, like the Federal Reserve “Wishes and Rainbows” comic books, Sauron discards them even though they’re right in front of his eyes. They’re “The Little People”. Like Hobbits, they don’t count. That makes the situation very like a chess board: each side can see most of the other’s pieces. Yet it doesn’t matter.

    We just have to outplay them. And apparently are. Because they are mentally ill and can’t resist very specific, identical weaknesses. Like Fani.

    However, that means when someone like Nikki is moving from predictable, a course we don’t mind her taking, to unpredictable, we have to expose ourselves and act. Sending F16 Nukes and 300 mile cruise missiles outside the President is one of those lines.

    • Biden Tries to Blame Republicans for Coming Loss of Ukraine (Sp.)

    Absolutely. But like the Woke video above, we need the People to see that as a GOOD thing. It’s all paradigms. Perception. Interpretation. Remember: right now 1/3 of the nation thinks importing 1 million violent prisoners and giving them free houses is a GOOD thing.

    “Zelensky is against Russia’s participation in the peace summit”

    Speaking of perception, so everyone thinks it’s sensible, reasonable and the “Rules and norms” to have a two-party conflict end without one of the parties?

    Okay, I’m sold! The only way that can work is if Ukraine unconditionally surrenders to them! Ze’s sneaky plan! Bet you never saw that coming! …Because if RUSSIA isn’t invited, they can’t surrender. There is only war, and no “Peace” summit at all. It’s a “Dictating terms” summit. Newsflash: when someone is sick of having terms dictated to them by moronic pinheads like Macron, that’s when they prefer to go to war.

    “If Russia wanted Zelensky dead, he would be.”

    Are you kidding??? Zelensky’s like a gift from God! He’s the gift that keeps on giving! There is no worse leader, or image on the planet than him. I don’t know if we even could accomplish the sapping, undermining, discrediting of all war and neocons without him. The irony is, he’s so dumb, he thinks he doing the #Opposite! Like Chris Evans in “Captain America: Winter Soldier” above. He’s literally IN THE MOVIE, says memorized every line, and doesn’t understand it. Not a thing.

    Paradigm. Perception.

    “what we see in Ukraine today is the result of a wide-ranging project to break up and submit Europe to the neoliberal, hegemonic and imperial interests of the USA.”

    Exactly. Except it’s not “The USA”. Clearly no one in the US is getting any benefit from it. Only about 50 globalists, all of whom can be traced, named, and subpoena’d. Assets stripped.

    ““Western political leaders are only digging a deeper hole for their eventual collapse..”

    What did we say yesterday “The US needs to withdraw militarily and rebuild domestically” – 2011. This was Trump’s plan, although soft, 2016. This is the same “America First” plan from the Generals, 1996. This was finally generalized in the ranks after Iraq, by people like Ritter and MacGregor, perhaps 2009. So 30 years of the obvious, still resisting. Why? The U.S. needs to be bankrupted, chopped up, balkanized, destroyed. Re-African-colonized. Finalizing the 1812, then 1913, then now. Recaptured, freedom and human rights re-extinguished forever. We are the colony, that is clear. Who are the Colonizers?

    “• DC Court Greenlights Flurry of Jan. 6 Lawsuits Against Trump (ET)

    Um, read all this, and … free speech? Do we have any of that, even as a distant notion? Did he take any ACTIONS that indicate…anything? ACTIONS, you see, are DIFFERENT from speech, that’s why we use two different words for them. What you have is a Federal Judiciary, so many decades past-Stalin 99% conviction rate, ALWAYS using conspiracy and incitement as charges, which should be vanishingly rare, so they’ve come to think speech IS a crime. It’s the only crime I’ve EVER prosecuted, through my whole career! Of course it’s Illegal! It’s not only illegal to SAY things, it’s illegal to THINK things! (Conspiracy. Intent.) And I daily use my PutinTelepathy to tell me what JoeJackson was THINKING when he was in that bar with a paid FBI informant getting $10,000 if he can get him to SAY something off-color. 13 out of 15 FBI informants agree!

    …This just shocks everyone when it reaches THEM. The rich.

    It was always illegal. Everything Federal Prosecutors were doing to 30 years was illegal. We all know it. They always admitted it. Look at Peltier. Just only NOW, when it’s you, do you care.

    “• Jan 6 Comm. Hid Exonerating Evidence of Trump’s Push for National Guard (Fed.)

    They not only HID it, they ERASED it. And although the Internet is forever, now you have to find a copy that has legal purview. And offered the troops to WHOM? Pelosi. But all that’s a Conspiracy Theory, although it’s written down. Perception. Interpretation. I can read this right out of the Federal Register to 90 million people and they won’t care. Won’t have the slightest effect on them at all.

    “Rothschild” Yes, but Roths are the upstarts. There are older families that keep their names more secret.

    Porcupines are awful nice fellows. This one looks really sleepy in winter though.

    “Found in the Pirin Mountains”

    Yes. Gravity. Stories of Giants worldwide just like stories of the flood. The stories are all from a certain age and era. Why did the Pueblos build cities in the cliffs? Ask them. They are “Humans” and can talk and have language you know. They say to hide from red haired, 6 toed, cannibalistic giants. But I guess brown people are dumb. …Just like every other people on earth, as they all tell the same stories, even in Grimm. But I am a coincidence theorist, and when every culture on earth says the same thing, it’s False! That’s Science!

    Translation: Whenever we have a worldwide body of evidence, that evidence is wrong! ‘Cause: Reasons! I thought it here in my head, and I am very schmartz!

    Macron got into power purely and solely because all the other parties agreed on an ‘Anyone but (that dangerous fascist!) Le Pen’ policy and coordinated during the second round of voting to ensure it was implemented. Luckily for Rothschild-backed Macron he was the anointed spoiler candidate and so it came to pass that the lions lay down with the lambs across virtually the whole political spectrum (other than Le Pen’s team) and all supported his run.

The Jew holocaust or the Palestinain holocaust? Tricky huh. Depends on which one you KNOW to be true.

    Drones are the Future of Warfare

    Russian Fiber Optic Drone Can Beat Any Jammer

    This new kind of drone is annihilating the Ukronazis, they have nothing but the old radio style drones which the Russians are jamming with electronic warfare techniques which improve by the day.

    The fiber optic drone solves a lot of problems in drone warfare

    The Russians invented a drone guided with micro thin fiber optic cable, 10km long, that has no radio or electronic signature so it can’t be jammed.

    It has triple the range of a radio guided drone and does not lose signal as it approaches the ground like a radio controlled drone is prone to do.

    The appeal came just three days before Trump faced a deadline to pay $83.3 million in damages to Carroll for defaming her in 2019, when as president, he first denied her allegation that he had raped her in a Manhattan department store in the mid-1990s.

    Carroll said, adding “He lied, and it shattered my reputation.”

    Climate news worth noting.
    If the fracturing of our once stable climate doesn’t terrify you, then you don’t fully understand it. The reality is that, as far as we know, and in the natural course of events, our world has never — in its entire history — heated up as rapidly as it is doing now. Nor have greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere ever seen such a precipitous hike.

    Think about that for a moment. We’re experiencing, in our lifetimes, a heating episode that is probably unique in the last 4.6 billion years.

    Superstitious leftists use phrases like “The ____ of ____” – or “____’s _____” a statement with a possessive in it, their idea being that you must implicitly accept that part and move on to the next. Best approximation of a Jedi Mind Trick attempt

    He thinks the climate “fractured.”

    “Nor have greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere ever seen such a precipitous hike.”

    “a heating episode that is probably unique in the last 4.6 billion years”

    He has just demonstrated here he has no knowledge of science, indicating he probably does not know what it is.

    What separates the Cretaceous from the Jurassic? Was that within the past 4.6 billion years? Time is hard.

    But he thinks the atmosphere suddenly heating up so much that the ocean at the equator was at boiling temperature was NOT as much of a change as what, one and a half a degree? Numbers are hard.

    “Bill McGuire is professor emeritus of geophysical & climate hazards at University College London and author of “Hothouse Earth”

    Why would you go out of your way to advertise that you are citing a witch-doctor-activist instead of a scientist as your appeal to authority? Are you so far gone, you don’t know how to make an argument?

    Those guys that lied to you, faked data from asphalt roofs, parking lots, and probes inserted directly in the hot ground, who changed the models to confirm their belief when the “wrong” result popped up, who kept telling you you’d be underwater and dead 2 decades ago, yeah, one of THOSE says:

    “heating episode that is probably unique in the last 4.6 billion years”

    There’s actually a ZERO probability of it.

    Like some guy doing sportscasting for baseball saying a home run was “probably a unique event in the last 125 years” Duh, grab a sports almanac. Open it. Swivel your eyeballs to point at the page. Dude got hired to narrate the game and apparently lacks all contextual understanding of the game somehow. But he’s an expert at baseball anyway somehow? Because they called him sportscaster emeritus and I’m just a call center worker, so I’m wrong about baseball, shut up?

    When in a state of bliss
    We humans want to kiss
    The object that inspires our hearts to swell
    And as our lips connect
    The yearning to protect
    Creates a space where love and goodness dwell.

    Except maybe porcupines. 🙂

    It’s astonishing. THEIR OWN CHARTS show this. The ones they use to try to convince us.

    They hand me the chart, I point at the spot on their chart where they are wrong, and what they say is the #Opposite.

    Why?
    WHY Won’t It Read???

    No? They took a brick to the teeth for exactly this, the missing “Hockey Stick” chart. Still nothing? No behavior change?

    “the fracturing of our once stable climate”

    You just want us to subconsciously think of The Climate as a porcelain dish which humans have shattered without question.

    No. Make your case for “climate brittleness.” No, saying “our” does not make it so.

    Please explain how the surface of the earth going through extreme temperature shifts involving getting covered in miles-thick glaciers and then melting over and over is “stability”

    Your stability is very, very unstable, isn’t it?

    You argue that the climate balance/stability is FRAGILE and also that climate balance/stability is the most natural thing and that humans are interfering with that natural thing.

    Please explain how something that is naturally fragile, teetering on the precipice of “fracture” such that minor disturbances (Human use of combustion engines as compared to massive volcanic activity, huge comet strikes, etc, etc, etc) can destroy it? How can something be NATURAL when apparently all physical laws, circumstances, the universe, NATURE are against it?

    Do weak, defective offspring maladapted to an environment naturally survive and prosper so long as humans do not intervene, or do they die and not have offspring of their own? Do you believe in the opposite of evolution as well? You’re telling me The Climate is maladapted to reality itself and also that it is most naturally stable. WHAT.

    We have two types of climate records.

    One record is written on paper going back a thousand years or so.
    The second is recorded in our rocks going back millions and billions of years.

    Climate Changers need to constantly lie to get us to believe them.

    Climate Changers want us to ignore the records stored in the earth’s rocks and only believe their recently written on paper lies.

    The rocks tell the truth!

    Climate Changers only know to lie!

    The Russians are slowly perfecting all their weapons system to an even higher degree.

    The FAB 250, 500, 1500kg ‘dumb’ bombs were repurposed to amazing levels by retro-fitting them with glide wings and precision remote steering allow them to be dropped well behind the contact line and out of range of Ukronazi AD.

    Now the Russians have fitted these devastatingly effective hybrid weapons with small jet engines which dramatically increase their range.

    Clever, creative idea, unlike the Empire of Lies Military Industrial Mafia who can only produce delicate wildly overpriced weapons that need massive amount of maintenance, don’t work half the time, don’t work against actual PEER armies and are impossible to redesign because the original concept is so fatally flawed.

    Something like this miniature jet engine with 500lb of thrust is no being fit onto FAB glide bombs giving them astonishingly long precision range.

The only real enemy is the regular person, the useless eater. Daily bullshit and nonsense is fuckin theatre. You are eyewitnessing 150 years of planning. How do you deal with the cattle, now that you own it all? Take a good look, this is how you do it.

    ‘Israel’ Pressured UNRWA Employees to Make False Statements on Hamas Links: Agency

    Israeli occupation forced employees of the UN Relief and Works Agency into falsely stating that the agency has Hamas links and that staff took part in the Oct. 7 Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, the UNRWA said.

    The assertions were contained in a report by the UN agency reviewed by Reuters and dated February 2024 which detailed testimonies of mistreatment in Israeli detention made by Palestinians, including several working for UNRWA.

    UNRWA communications director Juliette Touma said the agency planned to hand the information in the 11-page, unpublished report to agencies inside and outside the UN specialized in documenting potential human rights abuses.
    “When the war comes to an end there needs to be a series of inquiries to look into all violations of human rights,” she said.

    The document said several UNRWA Palestinian staffers had been detained by the Israeli occupation army, and added that the ill-treatment and abuse they said they had experienced included severe physical beatings, waterboarding, and threats of harm to family members.

    “Agency staff members have been subject to threats and coercion by the Israeli authorities while in detention, and pressured to make false statements against the Agency, including that the Agency has affiliations with Hamas and that UNRWA staff members took part in the 7 October 2023 atrocities,” the report said.

    The UNRWA, which provides healthcare, education and other vital services to the Palestinian people, was accused by the Zionist entity last January of having links to the Hamas’ Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, prompting more than 10 donor countries, including the United States, Germany, the European Union and Canada, to suspend financial support.

    “Cautiously Optimistic”

    Later on Saturday, the head of the agency said he was cautiously optimistic some donors would start funding it again within weeks, warning it was “at risk of death” after Israeli claims on alleged Hamas links.

    “I am cautiously optimistic that within the next few weeks, and also following the publication of Catherine Colonna’s report, a number of donors will return,” UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini said in an interview with Swiss broadcaster RTS that was aired on Saturday.

    Lazzarini told RTS that UNRWA was at “risk of death, at risk of dismantlement”.
