Debate ‘Was Rigged’ – Trump (RT)

Former US President Donald Trump has criticized the “dishonest” moderation of his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris by ABC News, saying he would only consider a rematch if it were hosted by “a fair network.” Speaking to Fox’s Sean Hannity immediately after Tuesday night’s debate, Trump claimed that he emerged from the encounter as the victor. Informed by Hannity that Harris reportedly wants a second debate, Trump seemed dismissive of the idea. “She wants it because she lost,” Trump told Hannity. “You know what happens when you’re a prizefighter and you lose, you immediately want a new fight… maybe if it was on a fair network I would do that.”

Harris is widely considered to have won the debate, with Trump struggling to fend off attacks from the vice president, as well as moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis. According to a flash poll conducted by CNN on Tuesday night, 63% of viewers felt that Harris had outperformed Trump. Speaking to Fox News on Wednesday morning, Trump slammed the debate as “totally rigged,” and called ABC the “most dishonest news organization.” “So many things I said were debunked, like totally debunked,” he told Fox. “But she could say anything she wanted. My stuff was right, but they would correct you.”

Trump was repeatedly interrupted and fact-checked by Muir and Davis throughout the debate, for instance when he claimed that Haitian migrants are “eating the pets” of people in Ohio. While multiple locals have testified that pet cats and wild birds are being eaten by the migrants, local police say they have received no reports of such incidents. Harris was not fact-checked when she repeatedly tied Trump to ‘Project 2025’, a conservative manifesto explicitly disavowed by the former president. Nor was she corrected when she claimed that Trump once referred to neo-Nazis as “fine people.” In reality, Trump said there were “very fine people on both sides” of a right-wing rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, but that he was “not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.”

“I’d be less inclined to [debate again] because we had a great night,” Trump told Fox on Wednesday, adding again: “We won the debate.” Trump initially asked Harris to agree to three debates: one hosted by Fox News on September 4, another hosted by ABC on September 10, and a third hosted by NBC News on an unconfirmed date. Harris’ campaign only agreed to the ABC debate, although Trump wavered about committing to this showdown, accusing the network of “ridiculous and biased” coverage of him.

“I reaffirmed to myself my trust in the American people to think for themselves and to see tonight for what it was in hindsight: a set up..”

The Debate Will Backfire Horribly For Both Kamala Harris And ABC (QTR)

The initial reaction to tonight’s debate is that Kamala Harris held her own, albeit with the help of two ABC moderators, and that Trump was “rattled” and on the defense more than he needed to be. Generally, the debate is being cast as anything but the overwhelming victory for Trump that many predicted. But my guess is that both the dejection from the right and the perceived victory from the left will fade almost immediately as people have a chance to take in everything that really took place tonight. For starters, the times when Trump looked “the worst,” like when moderators tried to debunk him on the Springfield, Ohio, animal/pet killings that were confirmed by 911 calls minutes before the debate, will once again be proven to be factual and on point. The delivery wasn’t fantastic, but over the last three years, the country’s tolerance for being lied to by the media has shrunk significantly, so it won’t take as long as it normally would for people to see past Trump’s delivery.

People are thinking critically now more than ever and doing their own independent fact-checking more than ever. In short, people will quickly realize that Trump’s comments sounded justified. And if Americans need a reminder as to why doing their own fact checking is so important, they only need to look at Kamala Harris’s near admission that COVID came out of a lab in China early in the debate. 3 years ago her side of the aisle would have called you a conspiracy theorist and banned you from social media for saying so. I’ve already written extensively about how the media has lost significant credibility with independent and moderate voters due to their covering for Joe Biden in the midst of his obvious mental decline. I wrote about it in an article a couple of months ago simply called “We Can Be Lied To About Anything”.

After tonight, when the average critically thinking, independent or moderate voter begins to emerge from the visceral reaction of who “won” the debate, the picture will start to come into focus. And it’ll be a picture of a news network that constantly tried to fact-check Donald Trump, despite Kamala Harris repeating multiple debunked conspiracy theories, like Trump’s Charlottesville comments, which were already debunked by Snopes, and his “bloodbath” comment, which was used in the context of talking about the auto industry. When the average critically thinking American looks at the veracity of the lies that Kamala Harris put forth tonight – including lies about Trump’s stance on in vitro fertilization, lies about Trump being associated with Project 2025, and lies about Trump not wanting to secure the border – it’s going to be very difficult to look back on this debate as a victory for her.

And God forbid these same moderate voters were looking for an actual policy stance from Kamala Harris. Despite being well-seasoned in her narrative and her answers and obviously prepared to answer questions she may or may not have received in advance, while benefiting from two friendly moderators and a question format that constantly pinned Trump as the antagonist before David Muir would lead Harris to her answer to reaffirm what the moderators had already decided, she was noticeably devoid of an explanation on her flip-flopping policies. She offered little to no detail on her flip-flops about fracking and her poor performance as border czar, and she failed to take accountability for what happened in Afghanistan, while simultaneously admitting that she approved of how it took place.

Not unlike when she was first crowned the “joy” candidate of the Left, there was a luster to her performance at the debate tonight that is going to wear off very quickly. And in my opinion, tonight will just be another example of a constantly evolving populace seeing the left-wing media for exactly what it is: an arm of the Democratic Party. Despite some mumbles and grumbles from the Republican side of the aisle tonight, as soon as the debate ended, I reaffirmed to myself my trust in the American people to think for themselves and to see tonight for what it was in hindsight: a set up. I honestly believe that the rise of alternative media in this country, and the legacy media’s track record of horrific embarrassments, like covering up the Hunter Biden laptop story and lying to the American people about the mental acuity of President Joe Biden, have built up a bullshit tolerance for media spin in the average American.

More people know today that the left-leaning media has a narrative and lies to them than ever before. This debate will be different from other ones because it’ll eventually be looked at in that context. And when people go back and watch how the moderators constantly argued the merits with Trump while leading Harris in her answers to multiple questions, this debate will be revealed for the biased farce that it was. And then — mark my words — it will do more harm than good for Kamala Harris. Harris has already come out and asked for a second debate with Trump, ostensibly indicating that she thinks tonight was a success. When the debate ended, the scrutinization of ABC’s dirty tricks began — and they will be off the table in any future debates. If I were Kamala, I’d be careful what I wish for in asking to step in the ring for a second debate. Just because the judges saw one round with Trump as a draw doesn’t mean you can go the distance and win by decision.

Why do a poll when you know beforehand what it will say? Yeah, let’s poll CNN viewers… And it’s still just 63%..

CNN Poll: More Than 60% Think Harris Beat Trump in Debate (Sp.)

More than half of registered US voters said Democratic candidate Kamala Harris outperformed her Republican rival, Donald Trump, in their first presidential debate, a CNN poll out on Wednesday showed. The survey conducted by SSRS Research found that 63% of 605 debate watchers polled said Harris had turned in a better performance onstage in Philadelphia, versus 37% who said Trump did a better job. Prior to the debate, the voters were evenly split, with 50% saying Harris would perform more strongly and 50% believing that Trump would. On August 23-27, ABC News and Ipsos conducted a poll among 2,496 respondents. According to the poll results, 43% thought that Harris would beat Trump in the debate, and 37% said that Trump would succeed. Donald Trump and Kamala Harris faced off on ABC News on Tuesday night for the first time since Harris entered the race. The US presidential election will be held on November 5.

Harris Won – Biden (RT)

US President Joe Biden has claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris clearly won the debate against her Republican rival, Donald Trump, and expressed pride in working alongside her for three and a half years. Biden dropped out of the race against Trump shortly after his own disastrous performance in June. The president, who reportedly couldn’t even remember if he re-watched his own debate, followed Harris closely from a hotel in New York City with family and staff, according to a CNN source. “America got to see tonight the leader I’ve been proud to work alongside for three and a half years. It wasn’t even close. VP Harris proved she’s the best choice to lead our nation forward. We’re not going back,” a message posted on Biden’s X account said late Tuesday.

During the debate with Harris, Trump repeatedly attacked her boss for being an embarrassment to the country and the world. “They respect me; they don’t respect Biden. Why would you respect him, for what reason?” Trump asked. “We are playing with WWIII, and we have a president that… Where is our president?” “They threw him out of the campaign like a dog… We have a president that doesn’t even know he’s alive.” Harris countered that Trump is now running against her, not Biden. However, Trump sought to frame a potential Harris presidency as nothing more than a second term for Biden.

“Remember this: She is Biden,” Trump said. “She copied Biden’s plan. It’s like four sentences long: ‘Run, Spot, Run’ – just oh, we’ll try to lower taxes… She doesn’t have a plan.” In his closing statement, the former president questioned Harris’ track record and the new promises she made during the debate. “She just started by saying she’s gonna do this, she’s gonna do that, she’s gonna do all these wonderful things… Why hasn’t she done it? She’s been there for three and a half years,” Trump said. “What these people have done to our country… they’re destroying our country. The worst president, the worst vice president in the history of our country,” he added.

Harris and Trump Debating on Titanic – Zakharova (RT)

The US presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris lacked substance and was largely irrelevant considering that their country is going full speed ahead towards disaster, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has argued. Speaking on Radio Sputnik on Wednesday, she said she did not consider it a high-profile event. It mattered as much as the outcome of a hypothetical wrestling match on board the ill-fated Titanic during its trip across the Atlantic Ocean, she claimed. ”Who do you think won? Why would that matter? The iceberg is 15 minutes away,” she said. Extending the metaphor, she said neither Trump nor Harris intended to get to the wheel to change the course of the ship. America is on its way to a “total, global disaster” and the rest of the world is trying to prepare for it, she suggested.

The debate itself, according to Zakharova, was a mixture of “fantasizing about the future” and citing some facts about the past, with the candidates failing to agree on what those facts were. ”We were given the latest show by people who apparently never ever take any responsibility for what they say,” the Russian official said. International audiences paid attention to what happened in Philadelphia on Tuesday night because they want to know which nations “will get punished and how much” during the next US presidential term, Zakharova stated. According to the media, neither candidate had a decisive advantage over the other in the debate, which could be the only one between Trump and Harris before the November election. In a CNN focus group of 13 undecided voters from Pennsylvania, eight said the Democratic candidate won. Meanwhile six out of 10 undecided voters interviewed by Reuters said they were siding with the Republican after the face off.

Trump-Harris ‘Kabuki Theater’ Debate Crystalized Candidates’ Position (Sp.)

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris held their first (and potentially only) presidential debate on Tuesday ahead of the November election. Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson explains how the debate crystalized the candidates’ radically different views on the defining issue of our times: the conflict in Ukraine. From Ukraine and Gaza to China, North Korea and Iran, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris touched on an array of foreign policy matters alongside domestic concerns ranging from the economy and inflation to the energy and migration crises. Trump, who thrashed President Biden at a debate in June so badly that the latter dropped out of the race after showing signs of mental decline, focused much of his ire against Harris on national security matters and what he characterized as the threat of a nuclear third world war.

“With respect to this talk about Ukraine and Russia, the Kamala Harris approach is the Hillary Clinton approach from 2016, that Donald Trump ‘is a tool of Russia’, [that] ‘he’s a surrender monkey’, [that] ‘he’s going to give Vladimir Putin whatever he wants’. And Kamala Harris and the Democrats are ‘going to fight the Russians tooth and nail.’ It just underscores that there is no room in the United States right now for an opposition politician to make the case that we need to talk to Russia, that we need to deal with Russia as adults and have mutual respect,” Johnson said. “The only possible change in policy is if Trump is elected and there will be an effort to stop the war. If it’s the Democrats, then the war will continue. It continues for one good reason – it’s making people a lot of money. If you look at the stock prices of Raytheon, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, they’ve doubled and tripled in some cases since the start of the special military operation.

So we’re talking literally billions, tens of billions of dollars that are being made,” the observer stressed. Commenting on his impressions of the debate overall, Johnson suggested that it was mostly “meaningless,” in the sense that it igno[..] red changes in how people get their information on presidential candidates. “The old debate style, when it started out back in the 19th century with Lincoln-Douglas – the only way people could really get information was by having to hear people talk out in public or maybe read a newspaper. And that was basically the system until 20 years ago. What has emerged over the last eight years is this dramatic spread of social media. So the notion, number one, that there’s an undecided voter out there who was unaware of the positions of Donald Trump or the positions of Kamala Harris is just I think ridiculous. Most people’s minds are made up,” Johnson said.

The former intelligence analyst agreed with other commentators who have suggested that the debate was stacked against Trump, saying the ex-president’s performance was less about debating Harris, and more about debating “biased” media “fact-checking” him while serving Harris “softball questions.” “I don’t think this is going to have a lot to do with shaping people’s votes. It’s going to perhaps create the perception or help build support for declaring that Kamala won the presidency, because I think there are active measures underway to try to steal the election. For example, registering literally millions of illegal migrants that have come into the United States who are not citizens but nonetheless are being signed up to vote. If those votes end up counting in any form or fashion, it could affect the outcome of the election,” Johnson summed up.

“Biden rarely shows up for work, so she’s basically in charge already.”

We’ll Never Reach Mars If Kamala Wins – Musk (RT)

Former President Donald Trump would “do a better job” as the next US leader than current Vice President Kamala Harris, according to tech billionaire Elon Musk. The businessman’s comments follow a contentious first debate between the two candidates on Tuesday night, hosted by US outlet ABC. In a post on X, Musk said that while Harris “exceeded most people’s expectations” in the face-off with Trump, she still lacks his ability to produce real results. “When it comes to getting things done, not just saying nice-sounding words, I strongly believe that Trump will do a far better job,” Musk stated. He said that if Harris had the ability to “do great things,” she would have demonstrated it during her tenure as President Joe Biden’s right hand, as “Biden rarely shows up for work, so she’s basically in charge already.”

In a separate post, he explained that the US needs significant government reforms to move forward and “allow great things to be done,” which he said would not come from Harris. “We will never reach Mars if Kamala wins,” concluded Musk, who is well known for his investments in space travel and technology. Tuesday’s debate was widely seen as crucial to the outcome of the election, as polls currently indicate a tight race. Throughout the event, which ran past its scheduled 90 minutes, Trump and Harris clashed with each other on both domestic and foreign policy, including abortion rights, immigration, and trade wars. The two candidates often interrupted one another, and traded accusations over problems with the US economy and the Ukraine conflict.

Musk joined other netizens in observing that the debate hosts, ABC anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis, seemed unfair to Trump. One X user mocked the anchors for paying too much attention to fact-checking Trump and too little with regard to Kamala, while another slammed the entire face-off as “a gang up of 3 against Trump.” Meanwhile, the Harris campaign challenged Trump to another debate in an email immediately after the showdown on Tuesday, reportedly painting the event as a win for the Democrat. Trump told the press he would “think about” the challenge, claiming that Harris wants a rematch because “she didn’t do well” on Tuesday. It is currently unclear whether another debate will take place before voting day on November 5. However, according to Reuters, Fox News has already proposed hosting a second face off in October.

“Trump makes a point that I hope everyone hears: Russia has nuclear weapons.”

Biden Leading US To ‘Nuclear Immolation’ – RFK Jr. (RT)

The aggressive policy of the administration of US President Joe Biden towards Russia and its continued attempts to inflict a defeat on Moscow in Ukraine could result in a nuclear conflict, former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has said. The comments were made following a debate between Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, which took place in Philadelphia on Tuesday night. During a discussion of the Ukraine conflict, Trump noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin “has got a thing that other people do not have. He has got nuclear weapons. They do not ever talk about that. And eventually maybe he will use them. Maybe he has not been that threatening. But he does have that.” Kennedy took to X to say, “Trump makes a point that I hope everyone hears: Russia has nuclear weapons.”

“The Biden administration’s policy of maximum confrontation, seeking Russia’s humiliating defeat and regime change, is a recipe for nuclear immolation,” he warned. Kennedy suspended his presidential campaign last month and endorsed Trump. A pinned message on his X page which he published on Tuesday reads: “Bottom line: No matter what state you live in, vote Trump. A Trump victory is a Kennedy victory.” During the debate, Trump reiterated that he would settle the conflict between Russia and Ukraine “in 24 hours” if reelected this November, even before being sworn in. “It is in the US’ best interest to get this war finished and just get it done. We need to negotiate a deal because we have to stop all these human lives from being destroyed,” he said.

The conflict between Moscow and Kiev began in February 2022 because Biden and Vice President Harris had “no idea” how to talk with Putin, Trump said. “And it is only getting worse; it could lead to World War III.” In June, Putin announced that Russia will update its nuclear arsenal, given that it is the primary guarantor of national security. He warned that the country would use all means available to defend itself should the nation’s existence ever be at stake. He added, however, that any conflict involving the use of nuclear weapons would have dire consequences for humanity. According to Putin, Moscow is not “brandishing” its arsenal, but instead hopes that “it will never come to” an actual nuclear exchange.

Biden Mulls Stepping on Ukraine Long-Range Missile Tripwire (Sp.)

“Biden has shifted every single position that he said was a red line, so I don’t see why he’s not going to violate this one as well,” retired CIA analyst and counterterrorism expert-turned whistleblower Larry Johnson told Sputnik, commenting on Washington’s threats to lift its missile restrictions. The Biden administration “can’t afford a defeat” in Ukraine before the November vote, and thinks that if it takes the “incredibly dangerous and foolish” step of just okaying the missiles’ delivery and use, that will somehow help Ukraine, Johnson believes. “I appreciate President Putin’s desire to show restraint and keep this as a special military operation. But the West is at war with Russia, and I don’t think people are getting their brains around that.

We keep dancing around the edges pretending that this is not going to happen. It’s going to happen. And it’s not going to change the military situation as far as what Ukraine is facing. Ukraine is facing defeat. They will be defeated. But it gets more to the point that the West, instead of seeking a peaceful way out and talking to Russia, is preferring confrontation,” Johnson warned. Another question is whether Ukraine even has the relevant long-range missiles left, and whether the US is in a state to supply them, according to the observer.

“Because if the United States moves to supply a missile that’s frankly bigger than the ATACMS or if they offer up an ATACMS or a JASSM that has an extended range capability, then I think it’s going to raise the real possibility that the logistics hubs that are outside of Ukraine that are being used to provide these missiles could become targets. Which then is this is going to expand the war,” Johnson warned. In that sense, while the Biden administration may believe the move to free Kiev’s hand on the use of NATO missiles to attack the Russian interior could stave off the Zelensky regime’s defeat, “it may actually have the opposite effect of causing this war to expand and expand in a way that will get the United States involved. And then we’re into some very new and dangerous territory,” Johnson summed up.

Ukraine Races To Peace Talks With No Driver, No Breaks And a Dead Satnav (Jay)

The admission was shocking. In an interview with an American journalist Victoria Nuland more or less admitted plainly that the reason why Boris Johnson was flown into Istanbul at the end of the peace talks between Ukraine and Russia was to scupper the deal, so that U.S. arms manufacturers could go ahead with their intended mega deals supplying the country, aligning it to NATO standards. She tells Ryan Grim of DropSiteNews that the peace deal – which gave Ukrainians land back which the Russians held – would have effectively neutered Ukraine blocking massive deals in the pipeline which would have reaped scores of billions of dollars for U.S. arms makers. The admission is important for two main reasons. First it shows just how disingenuous everything that western politicians tell their voters about Ukraine is.

Yes, there is an ideological rationale there of America and its allies wanting to hit Putin but it is not very convincing and at best looks increasingly lame as the months and years pass. Do senators in the U.S. like Lyndsey Graham really hate Russians so much? Or is it that they love money so much more and profit themselves from those megadeals coming together? The second point about the Nuland admission is that it casts a long shadow over western governments and their relationships with the military industrial complex and leaves the observer feeling that we have reached a new peak now with that sector and the ruling elites. The former no longer lobbies or informs the latter but controls it. Completely.

A third point which is possibly a parenthesis to the whole story is that slowly we are seeing the truth emerge, like repugnant liquid excrement oozing out of an old sack. And it stinks. Biden is just one more U.S. president who allowed the military industrial complex to control him and his erroneous so-called foreign policies which can really be summed up in a few words: wherever possible, go to war. We need wars. But we in the West bit off far too much more than we could chew. In the early days of the Russian invasion the euphoria and confidence of Biden and Boris, not to mention Macron, was palpable. They genuinely believed that the war would be over in a matter of weeks. And that Russian sanctions would grind the economy down over a longer period of time bringing Putin to his knees.

Today, nobody acknowledges privately how futile and stupid these notions were more than the Ukrainian president. And nobody appreciates how shallow and self-serving this initial policy to go to war with Russia in the first place is, more than President Zelensky himself. Put yourself in his shoes. He is counting the days now to the U.S. presidential election, wondering if Trump gets in, how many days will pass in January 2025 before the Donald falls out with him? If Trump does get in, the future is unclear as we know from history that Trump is capricious, unpredictable and driven by ideas and values which few can understand but usually relate to him on a personal level. It is likely though after he pulls off a ceasefire in his first week of office – which both sides want but can’t admit it openly – it will be very hard indeed to thrash out a deal that both can agree on, particularly knowing that the martial law, which keeps Zelensky is in office, is over, during peacetime he must call presidential elections which he will certainly lose. Trump also knows this. The war itself is Zelensky’s oldest friend and greatest supporter.

Ukraine Will Join NATO – Blinken (RT)

Washington wants to see Kiev win the conflict against Moscow and join NATO, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said. Blinken is visiting Kiev with his British counterpart David Lammy to reiterate Anglo-American support for Vladimir Zelensky’s government. “At the July summit, we declared that Ukraine’s path to NATO membership is irreversible,” Blinken said on Wednesday, reminding his hosts that the US-led bloc has “established a command dedicated to support Ukraine’s membership.” Blinken has made the case for Kiev’s membership in NATO before. However, the bloc has officially declared, both in Washington this summer and last year in Lithuania, that this could only happen “when allies agree and conditions are met.” Hungary and Slovakia have already said they will not agree under any circumstances, as bringing Ukraine into NATO would mean war with Russia.

During the same speech in Kiev, Blinken painted a rosy picture of Ukraine’s military industry, claiming it had expanded six-fold over the last year. “In the coming years, that’s going to give Ukraine one of the most advanced defense industries in the world, and it will be able to take that to the global market and take global market share away from other countries like Russia, and also supply NATO allies,” he added. Kiev is presently entirely dependent on the West for weapons, equipment, ammunition and even cash infusions to keep its government going. Ukraine is also facing widespread electricity shortages, as Russian missile strikes have degraded power production capacity. Blinken himself announced on Wednesday that the US will send $325 million to help repair the Ukrainian power grid and provide emergency backup generators for critical infrastructure.

Another $290 million has been earmarked for “food, water, shelter, health care and education programs for Ukrainians” both in the country and abroad, with the remaining $102 million designated for landmine removal. “The bottom line is this: We want Ukraine to win,” Blinken declared at another point during his visit, according to AP. This, too, was stated by Western officials before, as a prerequisite for Kiev’s membership in NATO. This effectively means that Ukraine will never join the bloc, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said in June. NATO’s 2008 announcement about Ukraine’s possible membership “became the trigger for much of the entire crisis that we are observing today,” Ryabkov said at the time. “If NATO members are ready to fall into the same trap again and history teaches them nothing, then they will get hit again and their bruises will get worse,” he added.

Enemies Must Be Sure Russia Is Ready To Use Nuclear Weapons – Karaganov (RT)

Russia’s nuclear doctrine urgently needs to be revised to allow a nuclear response to any major military aggression against the country, former Kremlin adviser Sergey Karaganov stated on Wednesday. The former foreign policy adviser to the deputy head of the Russian presidential administration told the Kommersant daily that the existing document is “woefully outdated” and no longer serves as an effective deterrent. Adopted in 2020, Russia’s nuclear doctrine does not provide for pre-emptive nuclear strikes and envisages the use of nuclear weapons only in “exceptional cases” in the face of a “threat to the sovereignty and territorial integrity” of the country. According to Karaganov, this approach has rendered it nearly useless and has effectively “excluded” the nuclear deterrence factor from Russia’s military and foreign policy arsenal.

“We have allowed the situation to deteriorate to a point when our adversaries believe we will not use nuclear weapons under any circumstances,” the political scientist said. “Having nuclear weapons without being able to convince your enemies that you are ready to use them is suicide.” A failure to have an effective nuclear deterrent policy “would plunge the world into a series of wars that would inevitably turn nuclear and end up with the World War III,” Karaganov believes, adding that this could happen “within the span of several years.” “The main goal of a doctrine should be in convincing all current and future enemies that Russia is ready to use nuclear weapons.” His words came amid the continued Ukrainian incursion into Russia’s Kursk Region and Kiev’s attempts to receive permission for the use of Western long-range missiles to strike deep inside the country. “It’s high time we stated that any massive strikes against our territory give us a right to respond with a nuclear strike,” Karaganov insists.

He also called on Moscow to clearly define the “nuclear escalation” steps in the next doctrine to leave Russia’s adversaries no room for doubt about whether it is ready to use its nuclear arsenal and when. President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly demonstrated a more reserved position on the issue. Talking to Karaganov at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in June, the president said that Russia was “not brandishing” nuclear weapons and expressed hope that “it will never come” to a nuclear exchange between Moscow and the West. Moscow “has no reasons to even think about” using nuclear weapons, he said at the time, calling on Russian officials to not even “touch upon” the subject of nuclear weapons unless absolutely necessary. Later in June, Putin also said that Russia did not “need a preventive strike yet, because the enemy is guaranteed to be destroyed in a retaliatory strike.” He did not rule out changes to the doctrine, though.

The 23rd Anniversary of September 11, 2001 (Paul Craig Roberts)

Time passes. An entire generation has grown up since that day when a few Saudi Arabians armed only with box cutters caused airport safety to fail four times on the same morning, caused the entire US/NATO/Mossad security system to fail, caused the WTC towers constructed to withstand airliner collisions to collapse into dust by flying hijacked airliners into them, and attack the Pentagon using maneuvers of which airliners and pilots are incapable and destroying the section of the Pentagon where the documents were that explained where the Pentagon’s missing billions or was it trillions of dollars had gone. During these hours of activity the US Air Force was unable to get interceptors off the ground, and no evidence has ever been found of the passengers on the four hijacked airliners. But an undamaged passport of one of the alleged hijackers were found in the ruins of two hundred-storied skyscrapers. And Americans fell for this totally unbelievable story. What hope is there for Americans?

It took a year of pressure on the Bush/Cheney regime to get a commission established that instead of an investigation wrote down the official narrative as dictated to them. Later the commission co-chairmen and legal counsel wrote books saying that the government withheld information and set the commission up to fail. It only took 10 minutes for a high school physics professor to demolish NIST’s multi-year computer simulation of the collapse of Building 7, the 47 story WTC building that a BBC reporter stood in front of announcing its collapse 30 minutes ahead of the collapse. They knew the building was slated for destruction, but the word got out prior to the event. Silverstein, who owned or had the leases to the World Trade Center said on live TV that the decision was made to pull building 7. You can’t pull a building unless it is wired, a time-consuming complex job.

It is totally obvious that all 3 buildings were wired for demolition. Building 7 collapsed at free fall acceleration, and the two towers at essentially the same speed. This can only be achieved by controlled demolition. If the alleged Muslim hijackers wired the buildings–an impossibility–what is the point of flying airliners into them? The orchestrated event was used by Washington to launch wars in the Middle East against Israel’s opponents. Norman Podhoretz at Commentary had called for these wars, and US four star general Wesley Clark, NATO’s commander in chief, later confirmed that Pentagon generals showed him war plans calling for the US to overthrow “Seven countries in five years.”Little of this extraordinary evidence had any impression on insouciant Americans who swallowed the false narrative hook, line, and sinker.

Consequently, Washington destroyed Iraq and Libya and was about to destroy Syria, but the Russians intervened. Israel has kept the American gun aimed at Iran, but Putin has said Russia will not tolerate an attack on Iran. You can easily understand why Zionist Jews hate Putin and Russia and why America is at risk from serving the Zionist agenda. But it is difficult to understand Putin’s patience with Israel. Does Netanyahu own the Kremlin like he owns Washington? We don’t yet know how the events unleashed by 9/11 will finish unfolding. They may bring death to all of us. What I have never been able to understand is why Dick Cheney, the neoconservatives, the military/security complex, and the whore media were so determined to turn a few Saudi Arabians into superheroes who were more than a match for the American National Security State. How can Washington possibly deal with Russia, China, and Iran when a few Muslims can deliver the worst humiliation ever delivered to an alleged superpower?

The total humiliation that the official narrative delivered to America on 9/11 is without parallel in history. One would have thought that such a system wide failure would have destroyed Americans’ confidence in Washington. Why explains American fists rising not against Washington but against Muslim countries that had nothing to do with it? If the American population is incapable of paying attention, how does it expect to remain free?

Paris rules the world.

Durov’s Case Is ‘Exemplary’ – Paris Prosecutor (RT)

The case against the CEO of Telegram messaging app, Pavel Durov, is “exemplary” with regard to the battle against cybercrime waged by the French authorities, Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau has said. Durov was arrested after landing in Paris in late August and charged with multiple offenses ranging from refusal to cooperate with the authorities to administering an online platform allegedly used by organized crime for illegal conduct, such as trafficking and child sexual abuse. The Russian tech entrepreneur, who also has French, UAE, and Saint Kitts and Nevis citizenship, was later released on €5 million ($5.55 million) bail. The 39-year-old billionaire is banned from leaving the country while the case is ongoing. Asked about the investigation into Durov and Telegram in an interview with RTL Radio on Wednesday, Beccuau said, “this case is exemplary in terms of the actions taken by the cybercrime unit of the Paris Prosecutor’s Office.”

She added that her agency previously had issues with the Coco chat website and Sky ECC encrypted messenger, which were both shut down. “Organized crime is spreading in a world that we consider to be virtual,” the prosecutor said. According to the Beccuau, France is reacting to this by amending its legislation and introducing a new criminal offense for administering an online platform that allows illegal transactions – one of the charges Durov faces. Telegram attracted the attention of the Paris Prosecutor’s Office because its cybercrime unit “contacted the platform several times asking it to identify cybercriminals, especially in the area of child pornography. But the platform did not respond to these requests. It did not react,” she explained. Beccuau noted that Durov is fulfilling the terms of his bail, which require him to report to the police twice a week.

Last week, Durov issued a lengthy statement on Telegram, insisting that the claims by some media outlets that his platform “is some sort of anarchic paradise are absolutely untrue.” Telegram takes down “millions of harmful posts and channels every day,” and publishes “daily transparency reports” about actions taken against the dissemination of illegal content, including child abuse and terrorism, he said. Durov claimed that he has cooperated with French law enforcement in the past and “personally helped them establish a hotline with Telegram to deal with the threat of terrorism in France.” He added that the platform remains open to working with state regulators to establish “the right balance between privacy and security.”

“But if she agrees to have Elon’s baby, she could break even..”

Elon Musk ‘Proposes’ To Taylor Swift (RT)

Tech mogul Elon Musk has offered to father a child with Taylor Swift and protect her cats, after the songstress announced her endorsement in the US presidential race. In a post to her 280 million Instagram followers, the 34-year-old pop star backed Democrat Kamala Harris, used a photo of herself holding a cat, and signed it “Childless Cat Lady.” That appeared to be a dig at a statement by J.D. Vance, Republican candidate Donald Trump’s running mate, who once said the Democrats are run “by a bunch of childless cat ladies.” “Fine Taylor… you win… I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life,” Musk posted on X on Wednesday. Musk has fathered at least 12 children with three different women since 2000. One died in infancy and another became transgender, after which the tech billionaire famously vowed to “destroy the woke mind virus.”

He has also openly endorsed Trump and signaled he would take the job of “government efficiency czar” in his administration. Swift publicly backed Harris after Tuesday evening’s presidential debate with Trump, calling her “a steady-handed, gifted leader” and arguing that the US could achieve more “if we are led by calm and not chaos.” The endorsement did not exactly come as a surprise, since Swift had backed the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris ticket in 2020.

Her catty post on Tuesday resulted in losing followers on social media, suggesting that there might be some substance to rumors about many ‘Swifties’ now favoring Trump. “Swift’s endorsement of Harris could end up costing her several-hundred-million dollars,” cartoonist and commentator Scott Adams said on Wednesday. He calculated about a 20% cut to her $92 million annual income from losing pro-Trump fans, paying higher taxes if the Democrats win, and facing “insane” unrealized gains taxes on the value of her music catalog, currently estimated at “around $500-600 million” “But if she agrees to have Elon’s baby, she could break even,” Adams quipped.

    “and I told Abdul ‘Don’t do it anymore, if you do…”

    Here’s the problem in America, and all countries actually. He has to say this sort of thing in order to be “Normal” and “Credible”, and we do that by threatening people in their own country. When we should do almost the opposite. However, does that get your men out well and best if you say, “I’m sorry, we were completely wrong, please don’t shoot us as we leave”? No it does not.

    You seem to be winning, so “I want to move on.”

    “Harris is widely considered to have won the debate,”

    NPR writers at RT, who “widely considered”? Other people widely consider the opposite. Don’t they count? Here’s the second part: this sort of statement used to be possible, when we had a single overton window. That’s was 20 years ago, you might have noticed.

    “President Trump calls for ABC News’ license to be revoked;”

    Strangely this is legal and historic from the earliest days. Like Sec230, they have agreed behaviors they must uphold to keep a license, one is morality like sex and swearing, but another is a level of fairness that has been adjusted from time to time. RE-inventing it is incredibly complex, I’m just saying it exists and they are in violation of it.

    (Why? because it’s on airwaves that are limited, and any child can tune in and hear it)

    Oh and Sec230 as well, but since the late Government-Corporate complete merger, corporations can kill somebody – or a million somebodies – and not be arrested. So I’m incorporating myself shortly. It’ll make all those bank robberies much more straightforward.

    “”Who do you think won? Why would that matter? The iceberg is 15 minutes away..”
    • Harris and Trump Debating on Titanic – Zakharova (RT)

    Exactly. And neither can, nor will, avoid it. If you want anything done, do it yourself, which is the American way. We set up government, and just like we said, Every level is now taking you infinity for zero services. Why are you making Ayn Rand right? Haitans illegally crossing – a felony – by high-level international human traffickers – a felony? (Last I checked, Haiti was an island, and one with income to low to take joyride flights). Then they attack citizens, a felony, commit other local crimes, a felony, and poach, eating all the animals in desperation, a felony?

    Meh. What can the police do about it? Whaddya calling us for? Um…because I witnessed the commission of a felony? Okay, suppose they take me up on the offer and arrest 20,000 people in one Ohio town. Two Words: Cloward-Piven. They would bankrupt the system and overwhelm the local/county/state/Federal. You have 20,000 free prison beds layin’ around? So back to the first felony: border crossing and international human trafficking, both federal level crimes. That’s the place this can be solved.

    But people ask: is that it, the only place? For el Stupido Americanos? Errrr….no. But you won’t like the other answer. You can see the Ennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnndddllllless patience of Americans, and our immense generosity, which is world-famous. You see anyone else donate to the Boxing Day Tsunami? Nope. Europe, other nations, DGAF: that’s YOUR country, too bad so sad, figure it out. Only Americans do. And so here. We are like orders of magnitude more tolerant, forgiving, and generous than anybody else. Must be driving the Globalists crazy! And immensely stronger, as we also don’t crack. Like Russia doesn’t, in their times either.

    (This thing where we give anything away to anybody is why we’re evil, and eveyrthing is both our responsibility and our fault. That’s what we’re for! That’s why we exist: to be blamed. Yup. No other countries exist but us. Sure France can’t take responsibility, China, Britain. That’d be cray-zeeeee.)

    But what would happen is, eventually, in one place, then in others, someone, somewhere, shoots the f– out of some terrible situation, they put it on national news, and they walk as 1) The police all abandoned the field and told them to, told them to arm, told them to shoot, as we already see regularly all over. 2) The Judge and jury won’t convict, regardless of what happened or how clear. 3) The Governor swoops in, attempts to rig it for his Globalist masters and gets run out of town.

    So what does that mean? At that point WE are the law, WE will figure it out and put a stop to it. And it’s BECAUSE we’re so incredibly generous, tolerant, and law-abiding that we don’t, but we can, and eventually we will. But it has to be in the moment of actual extreme, not made-up extreme, and should be. Morally.

    So shrug. I dunno when or where, but all systems have limits, and these guys want to find ours. Good luck. Last time someone did that we nuked them. FAFO. Do it. Pleeeeeease do it.

    “• Trump-Harris ‘Kabuki Theater’ Debate Crystalized Candidates’ Position (Sp.)

    Neither has any positions, they’ll just change them. Nor will there be an election.

    “Biden rarely shows up for work, so she’s basically in charge already.”

    You’re kidding, right? She’s not in charge now, nor would she be after the election. And if she’s in charge now, that’s treason and should be arrested. The 25th is a Process, you don’t just jump in there or appoint the Janitor to answer all the questions because he can.

    So which of these two terrible lies would you like to go with? That we’re under an active coup, or that the active coup is run by the CIA and Halliburton, not Harris? I’ll wait.

    “We will never reach Mars if Kamala wins,” concluded Musk,

    An excellent reason to elect Harris, except she’d blow the money on killing brown people and slavs, then go blow some other things.

    Okay: backtrack, planetary view. These guys believe that, every 6,000, 12,000 years, the magnetic energy from the galaxy alters. That is in the geologic record. When that happens, let’s suppose the suns poles flip, but it doesn’t matter what, there is a POINT event, not a slow one, which is in the geologic record. This then causes a mass extinction event, which is in the geologic record. How BAD that event is, hard to say, but can be a level of earth tilts sideways, tsunamis move ocean from atlantic to pacific, all life on earth is destroyed, biblical flood-level extinctions, which there is evidence for in the geologic record. On schedule. Over and over.

    This happens when the sun does certain things, like sunspots, which are observed. This will coincide with the poles weakening then wandering and splitting, which is observed. Then the animals will misbehave, which is observed. Then HUMANS will be agitated mentally in two ways: they will both have more energy, AND more fear, less inhibition. Which is perhaps observed. Also noted in the Bible right before Noah. Then at some point, it may be that the sun goes dark for three days, then in a puff, blows off the 3-day accumulated aurora into space in an unprecedented (or multi-millennial) Carrington event, frying everything on earth. 1/3 of the oceans are cooked. Fish soup. After some instability, the sun then operates normally again, observed.

    This sun change is running Climate Change on Venus, Mars, Neptune observed. Must be all the cars up there! It’s magnetic/energy component is altering all the planets including Saturn and Jupiter, giants, without rock forms, observed. Mars may actually be re-kick-starting its magnetic field and becoming a live planet again, arguable, but observed.

    Now does any of this tell you why the Globalists want to kill off most of humanity to have food enough, build impossibly expensive underground systems, don’t care about the economy, the law, or anything, put up arctic seed islands, and also want some humans on Mars as a backup? Can you see their point of view now?

    So what happens when someone arrives, junior Congressman, comes in with best intentions of getting $1 increase in wages and better tips in Brooklyn, then they read her this report, probably show her the Sesame Street movie cartoon version, and suddenly AOC’s whole outlook changes? She starts voting all completely differently? She maybe wants to have a seat in that bunker?

    Okay, how about “Kingsmen”, and the Musk genius globalist just LIES and INVENTS this Noah’s Ark scare, sells it to all the inbred pinhead rich guys, who all give him trillions for a seat in his bunker….and then kills them all with their cell phones? That is, even if this story is REAL, I can still USE it, and con every dumb-ss on the planet to my will with this elaborate con. Or both. But they’re still all my b-tch. I run the bunker, I kill whoever I feel like in it. I want your daughter in my bed at 8:01.

    Got it? But everything we see that’s incomprehensible, them no longer caring if we know, their shrill “Climate Change” story, the multi-trillions spent, their financial fraud, political behavior, globalism, killing all humans down to a level that can be fed with hand-tools, all that matches perfectly with this. …That is also measurable, visible, arguable from completely public science. YMMV.

    THAT. Is about “Going to Mars” and why we got no money for rats in my sister’s bed, but Whitey’s on the Mars.

    Well at least Musk is African-American.

    “• Biden Mulls Stepping on Ukraine Long-Range Missile Tripwire (Sp.)

    “Biden” does? Okay, two things: there is no Biden. If he’s still alive, he doesn’t exist, doesn’t know anything. Russian media has taken to calling “It” “Team Biden”, because there is no Biden and perhaps never has been, but certainly not since 2020.

    Second, Odd, because we’re NOT doing this, but rumor has it, Britain is, and is already developing a way to authorize all strikes in Russia on their ticket. With Stormshadows and their JASSMs. Nutsy: has to pull in the US into a Nuclear war to win, and will. Zelensky: has to pull in the US into a Nuclear war to win, and will. England: has to pull in the US into a Nuclear war to win, and will. Or they go broke, collapse, and the King is executed in the streets. This, of course, they wouldn’t care, but so would all the ministers and bankers.

    Actually, I say we, the United States won’t, although I’m not sure why I say that. But I’d give 30-70 England will. Good. Apparently won’t stop until they get nuked, so it takes what it takes.

    ““.. during peacetime he must call presidential elections which he will certainly lose. Trump also knows this.”

    Ohhhhh, I thought they meant the United States there! Yeah, we’re definitely going to “Delay” the election, keep Harris in, and ya know, kinda sorta maybe get around to having another election when it’s not too much of a bother. Maybe the Spring. Maybe next year. Maybe ten years, who can tell? Well, we’re just following the “Beacon and Lighthouse of all Democracy” in Ukraine, and never having any elections! That’s Freedom and Democracy!!!

    And the US People’s plan for this would be??? Yeah, we’d not want to start a Civil War that day over it, so it just rolls on forever as we figure out what to do. With Trump finally shot or in Rikers. Or maybe you WANT a Civil War? That would make Ukraine look tame? I mean, if you want to start shooting, I’ll watch and see how that works out for ya. You tell me, tough guy. Lot of tough talk going on around here. Show me.

    “Do senators in the U.S. like Lyndsey Graham really hate Russians so much? Or is it that they love money so much more and profit themselves from those megadeals coming together?”

    Neither, and we need to start saying it more. Lindsay DGAF about any of that. He’s BLACKMAILED. And in today’s total vacuum of morality, what could they POSSIBLY have on him that he would even care about? We’re talking about a world where the U.S. President gives free blow jobs. The bar is not high. Gee, I dunno, Epstein was kidnapping and holding against their will children for Princes to rape? Consensus fact, although not the darker, hidden stuff?

    NONE of this matters. NONE of it is real. Not one word. The ONLY fact is “They have deadly blackmail on Graham, as well as 2/3rds of Congress or they wouldn’t be there.” Therefore “They do what they’re told.” It doesn’t have to have a reason. It doesn’t have to make sense, and doesn’t. I want it, I told them to do it or else, so they did. That’s it.

    This is in fact the SIMPLEST story you’ve ever heard in politics: There IS no politics. Only blackmail. (and murder). Whoa!!! Everything makes sense now!!! It’s like those glasses in “They Live”!

    I want Russia shot, so they shoot them for me. End of story. I want Pelosi attacked with a hammer, so that happens. Any questions, Paul, or do you want to DO WHAT YOU’RE TOLD?

    “• Ukraine Will Join NATO – Blinken (RT)

    Every day in every way, Blinken creates war more and more. Okay then, Russia now has to take all Ukraine, a “Russian” nation, the size of France. Sort of for free, and will bankrupt and collapse Europe doing it. Okay, don’t throw me in dat bri’er patch! Oh noes!

    If I were being direct and simple here, I’d propose Blinken works only for Russia and has no other masters. It’s that obvious. RussiaRussiaRussia. Carry on good sir. The planet will only be save when Europe is gone. IDGAF what happens to you. I can watch your kids fall off bikes all day. If you want to be saved, maybe you should save yourselves? That’s your business.

    “If the alleged Muslim hijackers wired the buildings–an impossibility–what is the point of flying airliners into them? “

    Already said that this week: Start a 30 years war, a World War, to get the oil — or not the oil we could have bought it far cheaper — but CONTROL of the oil, then squeeze China by the balls. Papa Bush’s plan since he visited China and opened it up in 1989. Give them EVERYTHING, every WTO/MFN treaty, every patent book, every NAFTA offshoring, everything, to do the same bank job on them as every other nation in history. Then say, “Hey coolie, make me a taco or your financial bubble pops, your markets are shut off, your food and oil end. You my b—tch now.”

    Hey Georgie: how’s that working out for ya? Not so well? JUST LIKE WE TOLD YOU??

    But joy all starts with world war abroad and fascism at home. Never Forget.

    Debate was rigged, but Kamala “came across” as more credible and that is all that matters. After the “significance of time” and her other antics that were offered with in last years she was surprisingly good.

    Trump will stop the war because he “knows how to talk to Putin”. What does that mean?

    Back to Pavel Durov (link at top post from RT.)

    No news from F authorities, or him, which is normal, strife going on behind the scenes.

    Durov has hired a well-known Jewish lawyer. Bail was 5 million euros. (MSM, RT.)

    Yes, the complaint was a blueprint of a kind, as no perpetrators, suspects or any other entity, and no victims (temporarily judged to be so) were named, which in itself is very unusual.

    The ‘charge’ could fit any top person from any social media. As the RT article also sort of says.

    I’m now quite sure Macron knew nothing about the pending arrest. The complaint was brought up first by Judge X following a complaint from the OFMIN => Protecting Minors agency.

    (RT has a different descr. – generalities about cyber criminals – but that comes from a Gen. Porsecutor in Paris, Beccuau, who is making blanket remarks.)

    Macron’s statement, justifiying giving Paul du Rove a F passport, and declaring F has an independent judiciary are more or less ‘correct’ – Macron is in deep trouble, which in part explains why various anti-Macron actions, spearheads, etc. are happening. Manu’s statement sounds very self-defensive. (Macron tried hard to get F up into ‘we are the new tech scene’ .. Superior to the clumsy Germans with their pollutin’ industry, etc.)

    Looking at Pavel’s Instagram, as not inscribed, I can only see the first two pages, all of them feature photos of only him, in various stages of dress / undress, posing in front of various backgrounds. No GFs, no kiddos, no biz partners, no food, no spectacular scenery, no glorious sunsets …

    He is a kind of self-made, deliberately constructed, Icon of the Internet. Of course there is nothing wrong with that. Over time, it has made him an enemy for some, and idol for others, and complicates life…At some point in time, a W hero, as “Putin shut down the free-speech VKontakte” and then a dangerous cyber mogul, as allowing images of genocide in Isr., Ukr, etc.

    His private life is also assailed by one arrest warrant (CH), but that has not much to do with ‘free speech’, except that some may want to profit from an attack on him.

    A reminder: recently Georgia passed a law on foreign agents, and plans to pass an anti-LGBT propaganda law similar to Russia’s.
    The United States has agreed to “cooperate” with the leadership of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights on Georgia to interfere in the upcoming parliamentary elections in Georgia.
    According to information received by the Russian Foreign Intelligence, the US State Department intends to use a new instrument of interference in the parliamentary elections in Georgia on October 26, 2024, in order to prevent the victory of the currently ruling Georgian Dream party, which is undesirable to Washington.
    The OSCE will publish a report 10-20 days before the vote with a conclusion on the absence of conditions in the country for holding free and fair elections.
    After the publication of the first results of the expression of will, a conclusion will be presented on the inconsistency of the electoral process with democratic norms. Washington plans to launch mass protests in Georgia to seize power by force.

    So the clip of the debate above was the first that I saw.

    Harris’s performance is good acting. It is believable, plausible. She is feigning emotion well, in all the correct moments. It’s just the right dose of emotion. Every emphasis correctly placed.

    But I know it is acting. Why?

    Because a debate is not supposed to be well-scripted and well-rehearsed. A debate is supposed to be off the cuff. And I have seen her countless times over the past 5 years in unscripted, off the cuff moments. This performance at the debate was not the Kamala Harris that we know so well, who talks in circles and cackles when she doesn’t know how to get from idea “A” to idea “D.” Instead it was “Kamala Harris, Presidential Candidate (TM).”

    However, I can see why the TDS folks (“Orange man — bad!”), the rainbow folks, the I’m-afraid-of-carbon folks, etc., will look at this debate and think, “Ah! Look how perfect ‘Kamala Harris, Presidential Candidate (TM)’ is!” I suppose that they have learned nothing from 8 years of “Obama, Change has come to America (TM),” and Biden. They want to be gaslit, I suppose. They want to believe the liberal fairy tale. Just like they want to believe in Luke Skywalker, Neo, and MLK Jr — before he supported the Poor People’s Campaign. It’s an act. It isn’t real.

    “If I add Ben Davidson to Dane Wiggington, I can make a case for “the bad guys” to be making our atmosphere into a mirror to reflect the main impact of the micro-nova that’s about to happen.”
    (I quote myself from 30 april 2023)

    I added later (May 12th, 2024):
    “Yeah- I’m still going to unleash my grand theory of what’s going on. I think that the filthy rich know what Ben Davidson sees and they are diverting everyone’s attention with ideology, wars, economic chaos, bullshit and nonsense- lest the masses start reading, noticing, and begin looking for the entryways and air intakes of the multi-trillion dollar luxury “caves” of these people.
    The Naturals should make sure those Morlocks don’t emerge at all.”

    ​ A Papal Revolt Created Europe’s First Bureaucracy, Jonathan Culbreath
    ​ Despite the resistance, the reforms of Gregory VII would go on to revolutionarily transform medieval society, signaling the end of feudalism and the transition to absolutism. Gregory’s second successor, Urban II, went on to found the early version of the Roman Curia, a collection of centralized administrative institutions that have since enabled popes to oversee the vast network that makes up the Catholic Church. As a large advisory body to the pope, the Curia essentially functioned as a regal court. Urban also followed in Gregory’s footsteps by making extensive use of military power to advance the Church’s empire, and it was he who called the first crusade against the Muslims in the year 1095. The extent of European mobilization that he catalyzed signaled the power of his influence.
    ​ Similar measures were further extended by Pope Innocent III (1198-1216) at the Fourth Lateran Council with the creation of what was effectively a papal surveillance state: a network of intelligence officers appointed by the Pope in response to the Albigensian heresy, who scrutinized regional dioceses for their orthodoxy. On account of all these changes, Berman makes the surprising claim that the Papal Revolution was in many ways the origin of the modern institution we now know as “the state”​.
    ​ After Gregory VII, however, the church took on most of the distinctive characteristics of the modern state. It claimed to be an independent, hierarchical, public authority. Its head, the pope, had the right to legislate, and in fact Pope Gregory’s successors issued a steady stream of new laws, sometimes by their own authority, sometimes with the aid of church councils summoned by them. The church also executed its laws through an administrative hierarchy, through which the pope ruled as a modern sovereign rules through his or her representatives. Further, the church interpreted its laws, and applied them, through a judicial hierarchy culminating in the papal curia in Rome. Thus the church exercised the legislative, administrative, and judicial powers of a modern state.
    ​ By importing the Cluniac “corporate” model to the entire clergy, centralized under the headship of the pope, the clerical class became truly conscious for the first time. The development of this new clerical class consciousness was concomitant with the development of something very like a new state consciousness within the institutional structure of the Church itself. In Berman’s words, “The clergy became the first translocal, transtribal, transfeudal, transnational class in Europe to achieve political and legal unity.”
    ​ Berman is adamant that the “Papal Revolution” inaugurated by Pope Gregory VII was indeed a “revolution” in the strict sense, even according to Marxist terminology—thereby vindicating Georges Sorel’s comparison of the proletariat to the monastic clergy. It was the rebellion of one class against another, the clerical class against the feudal nobility, and the eventual wresting of political power from the latter by the former.​ https://letter.palladiummag.com/p/a-papal-revolt-created-europes-first

    ​ Is The Migrant Invasion Part Of The Cloward-Piven Strategy To Collapse The Nation?

From the unfettered illegal alien invasion to soaring national debt to endless wars to installing the woke mind virus in universities and corporate America, all have led to mass dysfunction across the Homeland.​ https://www.zerohedge.com/political/chaos-unfolding-across-america-could-be-cloward-piven-strategy-collapse-nation

    ​ “Enrollment in Medicaid and federal food assistance and welfare programs surged. So did rents and vehicle accidents, including a collision last year when a Haitian without a U.S. driver’s license drove into a school bus, killing 11-year-old Aiden Clark and injuring 26 other children,” Reuters reported.

    ​ Gilbert Doctorow, Judging Freedom, edition of 12 September
    We both commented on the sang froid of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in his discourse before the assembled Russian ambassadors this morning even as he set out the Kremlin’s take on the crossing of those red lines. All of which induced me to mention on air my latest exchange of views on this same issue with Ray McGovern and his insistence that Putin’s full response to any attack on his country using Western supplied missiles will come only after the American elections on 5 November, not in the days just before us, as I had been saying as recently as yesterday. On reconsideration, I join Ray on this point and advise subscribers not to cancel luncheon dates in October now in their agendas, nor to practice ducking under their work desks when sirens go off just yet.
    ​ Putin and his advisers see the trap being set for them by Washington as well as we do, namely that responding in a violent way to such an attack would give the Americans a pretext for opening a full-blown war for the sake of assuring Kam​ala Harris’s electoral victory through the rally round the flag phenomenon in wartime. Such a ‘trap’ might seem to be insane, but unfortunately it reflects the mindset of those in the Biden administration who are setting policy.

    In this world the best of the best and the worst of the worst have always associated themselves into two warring camps, both of whom lay claim to the title of Boss of the Universe. Only one of them is telling the truth, of course, and they both know for certain which one is lying.

    Incidentally, the liar pretends to be the one who has all the right answers, but as I mentioned before, they both know that the pretense is just a ruse by means of which the liar tricks and persuades the naive to associate with and support him by rejecting truth.

    This has proven to be a very effective means of perpetuating a dispute and generating all sorts of contentious activity that looks at first as if would just go on forever. Protracting such a battle infinitely is not possible, of course, because that which is not (in other words, that which is a lie or falsehood) cannot supplant that which is (in other words, that which IS true, and which actually does exist in reality). What is IS and what isn’t is not. Can’t beat THAT logic.

    Interestingly, because the liar is lying, the liar can be very predictably trusted to ape and pretend to be the good guy. He has no other choice. He can’t actually BE the good when he’s only intentionally pretending to be. He can’t do what the good guy does because then that would be the pathway and practice of truth, so if he did that he would not be lying.

    The good guy is the only one with a product to sell that anyone could possibly want. The liar, after all, has nothing to sell but lies and lies by their very nature don’t work to produce anything but failure and its consequent loss and pain.

    Historically speaking, and for the reasons described above, the best of the best and the worst of the worst have always rallied under one ostensible banner. The names attached to that banner have gradually changed over vest periods of time. Thus the most diligent and successful truth seekers of four or five thousand years ago came to be associated with a Babylonian self-outcast name Abraham, which came eventually became identified as Abrahamic religion and then Hebraic, Judaic (later called Jews) and most recently Catholic Christianity. The divisions, schisms, and realignments have become so extremely complex that it is confusing even for the most earnest and sincere students. I won’t even mention the often conflicting views of “experts”. The lines become blurred when viewed too closely, but much like the brush strokes in a masterful water color painting, when you stand back and look at it as a whole the picture is obviously apparent and beautifully clear

    The shifts, names, contentiousness and historical records of this Great Battle of the Ages are fuzzy and predictably hotly disputed, but the general progression is also quite clear. One camp truthfully pursues truth, and the other camp deceitfully pretends to be those good guys, but instead of pursuing truth and good it pursues tricking people into believing pretended virtues that are actually crimes.

    The labels change. The war doesn’t. Most recently, in our so-called modern world, the labeling is assigned and defined in such a way that I can say with perfect confidence that the best Jews become the best Catholic Christians as a matter of invariable consequence. A sincere and earnest student of Abrahamic theology will of necessity just naturally become an earnest and sincere Catholic. But at the same time I can also can say with the same degree of certainty that both of those camps (Jews and Christians) also harbor persons who can be counted among the worst of the worst, and who are merely masquerading as Jews and Christians so as to illicitly obtain that which they (as liars doomed to more lying) could not possibly attain on their own.
