A lot of war articles today. NATO et al are now saying Putin so far has not reacted very violently to breaches of red lines, therefore he won’t do so in the future either. Joe Biden: “I don’t think much about Vladimir Putin.” Your leaders are dragging you straight into a war that nobody wants but them.

• The ‘War Party’ Makes Its Plans (Patrick Lawrence)

The Biden White House and the Democratic Party machine trying to advance Kamala Harris from No. 2 in the regime to No. 1 gets more interesting by the week, I have to say. The Harris campaign has at last, two months after the party’s elites and financiers railroaded her candidacy past any semblance of a democratic process, published a platform it calls A New Way Forward, and I will get to this in due course. I am less interested now in words posted on a website than in two recent developments we ought to consider together even if no one has yet thought to do so. Slowly and very surely, it becomes clear by way of these weekly turns how a new Democratic regime, should Harris win on Nov. 5, proposes to manage the imperium’s business. And however many foolish voters may be illusioned otherwise, if Harris takes the White House her business will be neither more nor less than managing the imperium—the wars, the provocations, the illegal sanctions and other collective punishments, the terrorist clients in Israel, the neo–Nazis in Kiev.

Last Wednesday, Sept. 4, Liz Cheney surprised Washington and, I suppose, most of the rest of us when she announced she would support Harris’s run for the presidency. The onetime Wyoming congresswoman, a coup-cultivating warmonger who remains among the hawkiest of right-wing foreign-policy hawks, was not the first Republican to jump across the aisle this political season, and she was also not the last: Two days later, Liz’s pop did the same. Dick Cheney, of course, needs no introduction. Instantly, the Harris campaign declared its delight in having the support of these courageous patriots, as the organization called them in its official statements. A week after all this high-caliber politicking, President Biden convened in the Oval Office with Keir Starmer, the new British prime minister, to consider Ukraine’s proposal to fire Western-supplied missiles at targets well inside Russian territory.

The Brits are ready to oblige the Kiev regime, as are the French, but everyone—London, Paris, Kiev—needs Biden’s permission to widen the war in this fashion. At the moment, Biden and Secretary of State Blinken are in their “Well, maybe” phase, and we are meant to be on the edges of our seats wondering whether they will assent to these plans. But haven’t we seen this movie before and don’t we know how it ends? Wasn’t it, “Maybe we will send HIMARS rocket systems,” “Maybe M–1 tanks,” “Maybe Patriot missiles,” “Maybe F–16s”? Even before the Biden–Starmer encounter last week, Blinken and David Lammy, the British foreign secretary, during a visit to Kiev for talks with Volodymyr Zelensky, were already dropping heavy hints that Biden will once again acquiesce to the plans the Ukrainian president and the British PM were choreographed to present to him.

The stipulation Biden and Blinken now purport to insist upon is that they will not assent to letting Kiev use weapons provided by the U.S. — which seems to be different from weapons made by the U.S.—against targets in the Russian interior. This is no more than one of those hair-splits in which the Biden White House trades when it wants to look thoughtful and cautious but is neither. Will someone tell me what damn difference it will make to Russia if Moscow takes a hit from a missile sent from Britain, France or the United States? These people are convening to plan the Western powers’ reckless escalation of a proxy war they have no way of winning and know they have no way of winning. Desperation is as desperation does: This is my simple read of these deliberations. Between the war-planning and the shifting political loyalties, what have we witnessed over these past couple of weeks? This is our question.

“..the use of long-range missiles against targets deep in Russia would “increase the threat of escalation,” which runs counter to European security interests.”

• Russia Slams NATO’s ‘Reckless’ Rejection of Putin’s Red Line on Ukraine (Sp.)

Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on Wednesday that dismissing Russian President Vladimir Putin’s warnings about the dangers of Ukraine using Western weapons to attack Russian territory is both provocative and perilous. “Such a ostentatious desire not to take seriously the statements of the Russian president is an absolutely short-sighted and unprofessional step,” Peskov told reporters. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg denied in an interview out on Tuesday that allowing Ukraine to use long-range Western weapons to strike deep into Russia would cross country’s “red line” despite warnings from Russian President Vladimir Putin. “There have been many red lines declared by him [Putin] before, and he has not escalated, meaning also involving Nato allies directly in the conflict,” Stoltenberg told The Times newspaper. Stoltenberg said that he supported the United Kingdom and France in their decision to lift restrictions on Kiev’s use of long-range weapons against Russia.

He argued that their use by Ukraine would not draw the alliance into conflict with Russia. Putin said that NATO countries were essentially deciding whether to get directly involved in the Ukrainian conflict. He warned that direct participation of Western countries in the conflict would change its nature, forcing Russia to respond to emerging threats. Meanwhile, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto stated on Wednesday that Hungary is concerned about the potential use of long-range arms to strike Russia, as this would contradict Europe’s security interests and heighten the risk of escalation. He emphasized that “Hungary is interested in peace, and every step that threatens escalation makes us concerned,” adding that the use of long-range missiles against targets deep in Russia would “increase the threat of escalation,” which runs counter to European security interests.

“..Biden was plainly dismissive about the latest Kremlin warning, saying, “I don’t think much about Vladimir Putin.”

• Ukraine War Turns Into Russian Roulette (Bhadrakumar)

The UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer met with the US President Joe Biden in the White House on Friday with the question of the use of long-range missiles by Ukraine to hit deep inside Russia on their agenda of conversation. But there were no announcements, nor was there any joint press conference. Starmer later told the media that the talks were “productive” but concentrated on “strategy” rather than a “particular step or tactic”. He did not signal any decision on allowing Kiev to fire long-range missiles into Russia. Starmer said no final decision had been taken on the Storm Shadow missiles and hinted that further developments may follow at the gathering of the UN General Assembly later this month. “We’ll obviously pick up again in UNGA in just a few days time with a wider group of individuals,” he said.

One reason for such extreme secrecy is that the US and UK are intensely conscious of the Russian President Vladimir Putin’s explicit warning on Thursday that any use of western long-range missiles to strike Russia “will mean that NATO countries, the United States, and European countries are parties to the war in Ukraine. This will mean their direct involvement in the conflict, and it will clearly change the very essence, the very nature of the conflict dramatically.” Putin added in measured words: “This will mean that NATO countries – the United States and European countries –- are at war with Russia. And if this is the case, then, bearing in mind the change in the essence of the conflict, we will make appropriate decisions in response to the threats that will be posed to us.” Admittedly, Putin has given similar warnings before also, but did not follow through even when western weaponry was used by Ukraine with impunity to invade Russia recently.

So much so that Biden was plainly dismissive about the latest Kremlin warning, saying, “I don’t think much about Vladimir Putin.” On its part, Moscow estimates that although no official decision on the matter has been announced, it has already been made and communicated to Kiev, and that Moscow would have to respond with actions of its own. Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov, Moscow’s point person on the diplomatic track, was quoted as saying on Saturday, “The decision has been made, the carte blanche and all indulgences have been given (to Kiev), so we [Russia] are ready for everything. And we will react in a way that will not be pretty.” Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who now serves as deputy chairman of the country’s security council, went a step further saying that the West is testing Russia’s patience but it is not limitless. He said Ukraine’s invasion already gave Russia formal grounds to use its nuclear arsenal.

Medvedev warned that Moscow could either resort to nuclear weapons in the end, or use some of its non-nuclear but still deadly novel weapons for a large-scale attack. “And that would be it. A giant, grey, melted spot instead of ‘the mother of Russian cities’,” he wrote on the Telegram messaging app, referring to Kiev. Putin, in his remark on Thursday once again rejected the Anglo-American sophistry that it is Ukraine that will be using any western long-range missiles and not NATO. He pointed out that the Ukrainian army “is not capable of using cutting-edge high-precision long-range systems supplied by the West. They cannot do that. These weapons are impossible to employ without intelligence data from satellites which Ukraine does not have. This can only be done using the European Union’s satellites, or US satellites – in general, NATO satellites…

“most important, the key point even – is that only NATO military personnel can assign flight missions to these missile systems. Ukrainian servicemen cannot do this. Therefore, it is not a question of allowing the Ukrainian regime to strike Russia with these weapons or not. It is about deciding whether NATO countries become directly involved in the military conflict or not.” Interestingly, neither Washington nor London has so far refuted Putin’s above explanation and, curiously, it has been expunged altogether from British press reports — fearing, perhaps, that public opinion might militate against such direct involvement by the UK in a war against Russia in a combat role!

Moscow anticipates that the US-UK ploy may be to test the waters by first (openly) using Britain’s Storm Shadow long-range air-launched cruise missile, which has already been supplied to Ukraine. On Friday, Russia expelled six British diplomats assigned to the Moscow embassy in a clear warning that Uk-Russia ties will be affected. Russia has already warned the UK of severe consequences if the Storm Shadow were to be used to hit Russian territory. What makes the developing situation extremely dangerous is that the cat-and-mouse game so far about NATO’s covert involvement in the Ukraine war is giving way to a game of Russian roulette that follows the laws of Probability Theory.

• This Ain’t No WWIII: This Is A War OF Terror (Pepe Escobar)

First we had action: President Putin – cool, calm, collected – warns that any attack on Russia with long-range NATO missiles will be an act of war. Then we had reaction: NATO rats scurrying back to the gutter – in haste. For now. All that was a direct consequence of the Kursk debacle. A desperate gamble. But the state of things in the proxy war in Ukraine was desperate for NATO. Until it became crystal clear it’s all basically non-recoverable. So there are two options left. Ukraine’s unconditional surrender, on Russia’s terms, tantamount to NATO’s complete humiliation. Or escalation to all-out war (italics mine) with Russia. The U.S. – but not the UK – ruling classes seem to have registered the essence of Putin’s message: if NATO is at war with Russia, “then, bearing in mind the change in the essence of the conflict, we will make appropriate decisions in response to the threats that will be posed to us.”

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov was ominously more precise: “The decision has been made, the carte blanche and all indulgences have been given [to Kiev), so we [Russia] are ready for everything. And we will react in a way that will not be pretty.” For all practical purposes, NATO is already at war with Russia: non-stop reconnaissance flights, high-precision strikes on airfields in Crimea, forcing the Black Sea Fleet to relocate out of Sevastopol, these are only some instances. With “permission” to strike as far as 500 km deep into Russia, and a list of several targets already submitted by Kiev for “approval”, Putin has clearly stated the obvious. Russia is fighting an existential war for the survival of the Motherland – what it has done repeatedly over centuries. The USSR suffered 27 million losses and emerged from WWII stronger than ever. That demonstration of willpower, in itself, scares the collective West to death.

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov – whose Taoist patience seems to be exhausting – added some color on the Big Picture, drawing from English literature: “George Orwell had a rich imagination and historical foresight. But even he could not imagine what a totalitarian state would look like. He described some of its contours, but failed to penetrate the depths of the totalitarianism that we now see within the framework of the ‘rules-based order.’ I have nothing to add. The current leaders in Washington, who suppress any dissent, have ‘outdone’ him. This is totalitarianism in its purest form.” Lavrov concluded that “they are historically doomed.” Yet they don’t really have the guts to provoke WWIII. Trademark cowards can only resort to a War OF Terror. Here are some instances. The SVR – Russian foreign intel – discovered a Kiev plot to stage a Russian missile attack on a hospital or kindergarten on Kiev-controlled territory.

The objectives include raising the – collapsed – morale of the AFU; justify the complete removal of any restrictions on deep missile strikes inside the Russian Federation; and attract support from the Global South – which overwhelmingly understands what Russia is doing in Ukraine. In parallel, if this massive false flag works, the Hegemon would use it to “increase pressure” (How? Screaming at the top of their lungs?) on Iran and the DPRK, whose missiles would likely be the perpetrators of the carnage. As much as this seems far-fetched on a Maximum Stupidistan level, considering the Deep Dementia ranging from Washington and London to Kiev it does remain possible, as NATOstan de facto retains the strategic initiative in this war. Russia for its part remains passive. It is NATO that is choosing the method, the place and the time for its key, choice strikes.

Formerly known as the “peace plan”.

• ‘Victory Plan’ Ready – Zelensky (RT)

Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky declared his secretive ‘victory plan’ complete on Wednesday in a video address. Moscow has dismissed Kiev’s designs as incapable of altering the course of the conflict. Details of the Ukrainian roadmap for defeating Russia remain murky, but Zelensky has been giving regular updates on its progress. On Monday, he said it was more than 90% ready, while he now describes it as “fully prepared,” adding that “the most important thing is the determination to implement it.” Russian officials have dismissed the plan, which Zelensky first announced in August. ”We have heard such statements from the representatives of the Kiev regime many times. We realize what the nature of this regime is. We will continue our special military operation and realize all our goals,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at the time.

US President Joe Biden and the presidential nominees of the country’s two main parties, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, are the primary targets of the proposal, according to Zelensky. He intends to travel to the US to brief the Americans, which will reportedly happen as soon as next week. However, officials in Washington are already aware of what Zelensky will be bringing to the table, US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield has indicated. ”We have seen President Zelensky’s peace plan,” she told journalists on Tuesday, before expressing confidence that it “can work.” According to media reports, Zelensky will press his backers for Ukrainian membership in NATO and the EU, continued Western military aid, and other perks.

In August, Kiev sent thousands of troops into Russia’s Kursk Region in an operation Zelensky called an element of the victory plan. The incursion was aimed at forcing Russia to redeploy forces from the front in the east and serve as a bargaining chip in eventual peace talks, according to Ukrainian officials. Russian advancements in Donbass have continued despite the gamble. Moscow has meanwhile ruled out negotiations with Kiev, citing attacks against local Russian civilians whom Ukrainian troops allegedly targeted on purpose. The Russian army has been pushing Ukraine back in Kursk Region, which Zelensky claimed aligned with his plan. Kiev is currently lobbying Washington and its allies to allow long-range strikes with donated Western weapons deep inside Russia. President Vladimir Putin has said that Moscow would consider any such strike an act of war by NATO and react accordingly.

“..he “opposed a task that didn’t correspond to the brigade’s strength.”

“..he thought the brigade would be too exposed inside Russia and would suffer heavy casualties..”

• Ukrainian Commanders Urged Zelensky Not To Invade Kursk (Antiwar)

Some of Ukraine’s top military commanders opposed President Volodymyr Zelensky’s plans to invade Russia’s Kursk Oblast, but he went through with the assault anyway, POLITICO reported on Tuesday. The report, which cited Ukrainian military officials, said that Gen. Valery Zaluzhny, the former commander-in-chief and current ambassador to the UK, opposed the offensive when Zelensky first broached the idea earlier this year. Zaluzhny opposed the offensive because there was no clear second step once the border was breached. “He never got a clear answer from Zelensky,” one of the Ukrainian officials said. “He felt it was a gamble.” Another Ukrainian officer who opposed the invasion was Emil Ishkulov, the former commander of Ukraine’s 80th Air Assault Brigade. He was removed from his position in July, which drew protests from senior Ukrainian military officials, who said they didn’t understand why Ishkulov was dismissed.

Ukrainian media reported at the time of his dismissal that Ishkulov was removed because he “opposed a task that didn’t correspond to the brigade’s strength.” Two senior Ukrainian military officials told POLITICO that Ishkulov opposed the Kursk invasion because he thought the brigade would be too exposed inside Russia and would suffer heavy casualties. Russia recently began a counteroffensive in Kursk and has recaptured some villages. One purpose of the Ukrainian invasion was to distract Russia from the Donbas region, where Russian forces have been making steady gains. But that has failed as Russian troops continue to close in on the Donetsk city of Pokrovsk.

Another purpose of the invasion was to psychologically impact Russian civilians, a strategy that was praised by Richard Moore, the head of the British spy agency MI6, during a joint public appearance with CIA Director William Burns. Moore said the operation was “typically audacious and bold on the part of the Ukrainians, to try and change the game” and that it had “brought the war home to ordinary Russians.”

“Along with the development of drones, we need to look for means of their electronic and conventional destruction..”

• Russia’s Drone Production To Increase Tenfold – Putin (RT)

The Russian military is set to receive ten times more drones in 2024 than it did in the year before, President Vladimir Putin announced on Thursday during a meeting of the Military-Industrial Commission on the development of unmanned aircraft systems. The president stated that in 2023, the Russian Armed Forces received nearly 140,000 drones of various types and their production rate has since gone up significantly. “This year, the production of drones is planned to increase several times, or to be more precise, almost ten times,” Putin said. He said that the range of unmanned systems is being expanded and that unmanned boats are being developed as well.

“The key task is to produce a wide range of unmanned aerial vehicles and to set up serial production of such promising technology as quickly as possible,” Putin explained, adding that it is necessary to “fully meet” the needs of the armed forces and increase drone production and the technical and tactical characteristics of UAVs, which includes actively introducing elements of artificial intelligence. “Along with the development of drones, we need to look for means of their electronic and conventional destruction. This will save the lives of our military personnel, civilians and more reliably protect military equipment, civilian infrastructure, and critically important facilities,” the president said.

Putin stated that the design, testing, and serial production of drones is set to be carried out in special scientific and production centers, 48 of which are planned to be created across the country by 2030. Earlier on Thursday, the president personally visited the Special Technology Center (STC) in St. Petersburg which specializes in the production of unmanned aerial vehicles, electronic warfare systems and communications. Putin also inspected an exhibition of robots that have already been supplied to Russia’s forces on the front line and was shown several examples of kamikaze drones, reconnaissance systems, and a model of a loitering munition.

“If you refuse to turn over your electronic devices, it is two years in prison. Two years in prison for refusing to answer a question.”

• Craig Murray Describes Transition Of UK, West In General Into Tyranny (PCR)

Here is a summary of the speech in the video below of former British Ambassador Craig Murry describing the transition of Britain and the West in general into Tyranny. The UK has criminalized dissent. A new Public Order Act makes it illegal to hold a rally or demonstration if it “inconveniences” anyone. This gives the state unlimited power to clamp down on any demonstration. A new National Security Act makes it illegal to accept funding if it comes from “a hostile state” (there is no definition of what qualifies as a “hostile state”) A new Public Safety Act makes it a criminal offense to publish “misinformation” (there is no definition of “misinformation” — the government decides). It is all about control of the narrative. Zionist lobbies have great influence on official narratives across the West.

Citizens of the West are not allowed to accuse Israel of genocide; this is increasingly being equated with being a “terrorist”. Anti-terrorism powers are being used to prevent any criticism of Israel. Murray, a former British Ambassador, was arrested at the airport under the “Terrorism Act” for attending a pro-Palestine demonstration in Iceland. Under the Terrorism Act, if you are arrested at an airport, you have no right to remain silent, no right to a lawyer, you must turn over all your electronic devices with the passwords. If you refuse to turn over your electronic devices, it is two years in prison. Two years in prison for refusing to answer a question.

Many people are being detained under anti-terrorist legislation, including a professor from Paris and several independent journalists, who all have been detained as was Murray. There is a continual attempt to connect people to Russia. The FBI detained an American professor who spoke with Murray at a pro-Palestine demonstration and had all his electronic devices confiscated. Crackdowns on free speech, freedom of assembly, and any form of dissent are happening all across the Western world in an increasing frequency. As the West trumpets the importance of “freedom and democracy”, it simultaneously limits the freedoms of its own peoples and moves towards complete totalitarianism.

Their greatest asset.

• Switzerland Dumps Neutrality (Sp.)

The Swiss Council of States, the upper house of the parliament, said on Wednesday that it had voted against a ban on the participation of its military in joint NATO drills. “The participation of Switzerland in joint defense exercises with NATO must not be banned. The Council of States rejected a motion from the National Council to this effect on Wednesday by 29 votes to 12 and after a lively debate,” the upper house said in a statement. Swiss senators believe that in case of an attack on the country, its neutral status will disappear, so Switzerland’s army needs to be ready to defend itself. Switzerland is neither an EU or a NATO member, but Bern has joined almost all European sanctions against Russia since February 24, 2022. In 2024, the Swiss military will take part in 20 exercises outside its territory and four drills on its territory, all of them with the participation of NATO countries.

Ha ha ha! Here’s to the do-gooders.

• Descendants of Native American Chief Want His Face Back In NFL (RT)

Descendants of John Two Guns White Calf, a Native American chief who inspired the now-retired logo of the Washington Commanders football team (previously known as the Redskins), have called for his return to NFL events. “The fans want him back and we want him back,” Thomas White Calf, a great nephew of the celebrated early-20th-century Blackfeet tribe leader, told Fox News last week. “Our ancestor was the most famous and most photographed native in history,” he added, speaking on the phone alongside his mother, Delphine White Calf. “I’m proud of him. The Blackfeet are proud of him.” The conservative news network interviewed the family after they met Montana Senator Steve Daines – a vocal critic of the 2020 decision to rebrand the franchise. The lawmaker brought up what he believes to be a historic wrong in Congress and in the media on multiple occasions.

“Make no mistake, this logo was inspired and envisioned … as a tribute to Native Americans. It is not a caricature. It is a depiction of pride and strength. Of courage and honor,” he said at a Senate subcommittee hearing in May. Both the name and the mascot were retired in 2020, against the backdrop of racial protest following the death of George Floyd. Major investors and shareholders put pressure on the team’s top sponsors, claiming that the branding promoted negative stereotypes about Native Americans. The management caved in, though the Redskins were renamed as the Commanders only two years later.

A spokesman for the team told Fox News that it is collaborating with Senator Daines “to honor the legacy of our team’s heritage and the Native American community,” but had no intention of reviving the old logo. The news outlet pinned the blame for the naming controversy on the non-profit National Congress of American Indians. Among other things, it seeks to eradicate what it perceives as inappropriate mascots in sports and complained against the Redskins in 2013 in a 29-page report on the issue. “Today’s harmful ‘Indian’ mascots are very much an extension of the commercialization of race such as black face and African-American stereotypes,” the document claimed.

“A change in leadership is probably our last hope in stopping this madness from continuing.”

• Kamala Bucks (Jim Rickards)

We’re still trying to process the latest assassination attempt on Donald Trump, which took place on Sunday in West Palm Beach. But while that’s important to dissect as the election gets closer, it’s important to consider a development I’ve been warning about for over two years. President Trump has long been an opponent of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) or as I call them Biden Bucks. (Now that Biden is essentially out of the picture, maybe I should rename them Kamala Bucks.) I called them “Biden Bucks” because I wanted Biden (and his partner Kamala) to take full credit for what I consider to be crimes against American citizens. More on that shortly. For now, let’s focus on Trump. At a New Hampshire campaign rally earlier this year, Donald Trump reiterated what he’s been saying for months: CBDCs are dangerous and he would never allow one if elected. For too long, the average American has been squeezed by the big banks and financial elites. It’s time we take a stand — together.

This would be a dangerous threat to freedom, and I will stop it from coming to America. Such a currency would give a federal government absolute control over your money. They could take your money, and you wouldn’t even know it was gone. In fact, Trump recently pledged to ban CBDCs, promote the creation of a national crypto reserve and guarantee that the government will not sell crypto obtained through law enforcement seizures. I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: “Welcome aboard, Mr. President.” Again, I’ve been sounding the alarm about Biden Bucks for over two years. I’ve been warning about Joe Biden’s plan to control your money and take away your privacy rights completely. President Trump is right. Biden Bucks are a dangerous threat to freedom. They’re a threat to our constitutional liberties and give the government total control of our private financial information. A change in leadership is probably our last hope in stopping this madness from continuing.

Maybe you’re a new reader who’s not familiar with Biden Bucks, or maybe you’re an existing reader who hasn’t thought of them for a while. To catch you up, here are the basics: They would replace physical cash with new electronic currencies. These Biden Bucks would have the full backing of the U.S. Federal Reserve. To be clear, they won’t just be a complement to cash. They will entirely, or very nearly entirely, REPLACE the cash (“fiat”) dollar we have now. In other words, the dollar will be strictly digital. This digital dollar would be the sole, mandatory currency of the United States. What does this mean for you? It would put your money under direct government control as President Trump has said. You could use it only at the government’s discretion. We are already seeing how many retailers are no longer accepting cash across America. What happens when physical cash is eliminated from any payment transactions?

Imagine this. To further advance the Biden/Harris Green New Scam, what if the Dems and their deep state enablers decide that gasoline needs to be rationed? Your Biden/Kamala Bucks could be rendered useless at the gas pump once you’ve purchased a certain amount of gasoline in a week. You want gas, but all you get is a one-word message: Declined. How’s that for control? That’s just one example. Biden Bucks would create new ways for the government to control how much you can buy of an item or even restrict purchases. They would keep score of every financial decision you make. In a world of Biden Bucks, the government will even know your physical whereabouts at the point of purchase. It’s a short step from there to putting you under FBI investigation if you vote for the wrong candidate or give donations to the wrong political party. If any of this sounds extreme, fantastical or otherwise far-fetched, I promise you it’s not. It’s happening right now. And given all the abuses of power the government’s engaged in over the past few years, why should you be surprised that Biden/Kamala Bucks wouldn’t invite even more abuse?

“The purchase of burgers by Trump “was one of the most important Bitcoin transactions of all time..”

• Trump Makes First Payment In Bitcoin (RT)

Donald Trump used Bitcoin to buy cheeseburgers and beer for his supporters at a bar in New York City on the National Cheeseburger Day. This made Trump the first ever incumbent or former US president to make a payment using the world’s most popular cryptocurrency, according to media reports. The Republican presidential candidate visited PubKey, a Bitcoin-themed bar and restaurant in Manhattan, shortly before his Long Island campaign rally on Wednesday.The 78-year-old was helped by the bar’s employees to perform the transaction using his phone and a tablet belonging to PubKey. “I just made the first transaction in Bitcoin,” Trump announced to cheers from Bitcoin enthusiasts, who packed the establishment. Paying with cryptocurrency was “very easy,” he added.

“They have been treating you very badly at the SEC (US Securities and Exchange Commission) and we are going to treat you very fairly,” he told the crowd. “Get out and vote because if you vote, we cannot lose,” the former president said. The purchase of burgers by Trump “was one of the most important Bitcoin transactions of all time,” one of PubKey’s owners, Thomas Pacchia, told the Bitcoin Magazine. “We are very excited he was here… to show his support to the Bitcoin community.” Bitcoin, which was introduced in 2009, has grown in value by more than 500% during the past five years. The current price for one Bitcoin is above $61,000.

On Monday, Trump and his children unveiled their own cryptocurrency venture, called World Liberty Financial. There is so far little information available about the project, which is expected to be a borrowing and lending service to trade cryptocurrencies. According to Donald Trump Jr., its goal is to provide opportunities to entrepreneurs who are unable to obtain financing from traditional banks. Trump appears to have made a U-turn on cryptocurrencies during the current presidential campaign. In 2021, he told Fox News that they were a “scam” and “potentially a disaster waiting to happen.” The dollar should remain “the currency of the world,” and investing in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies “hurts the US currency,” he argued at the time.

Do we believe the FBI?

• FBI: Iran Hacked Trump Campaign Materials And Gave Them To Biden/Harris (MN)

The AP is reporting that the FBI has uncovered evidence that Iranian hackers stole materials from the Trump campaign in the Summer and provided them to what was then the Biden/Harris campaign. The report notes that the emails were sent to “people who were associated with Biden’s campaign” in June and July when he was still the Democratic nominee. The FBI uncovered the “unsolicited” evidence as part of its efforts to investigate election interference. The emails “contained an excerpt taken from stolen, non-public material from former President Trump’s campaign as text in the emails,” a government statement noted. It is not known if the Biden/Harris campaign reviewed the materials. Hilariously, however, the Harris campaign issued a statement saying that they were “victims” of the hack. Last night in New York, Trump referred to the development, calling it “foreign election interference,” and charging that “Biden is working with Iran.”

It is clear that there is a concerted effort to undermine Trump’s campaign, with officials revealing in August that further internal communications were hacked and provided to at least three media organisations, with the perpetrators suspected to be Iranian hackers. As we previously highlighted, the Secret Service also uncovered an assassination plot against Trump by Iran on the same weekend as the Butler shooting in July.

Antonio Garcia doesn’t seem overly happy that Russia sidesteps the sanctions.

• Russia’s Shadow Fleet is a Ticking Geopolitical Timebomb (Garcia)

In response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the European Union and several other Western countries imposed extensive sanctions on Russia, attempting to stop the trade of Russian oil. In December 2022, the G7 countries decided on an oil price cap. However, Russia has found ways to circumvent these sanctions, primarily through the creation of a “shadow fleet” of oil tankers. Despite robust US Treasury sanctions targeting the shadow fleet, Russia continues to expand it by incorporating new tankers, allowing for stable exports and further evasion of oil price caps. Only 36% of Russian oil exports were shipped by IG-insured tankers. For other shipments, Russia utilized its shadow fleet, which was responsible for exports of ~2.8 mb/d of crude and 1.1 mb/d of oil products in March 2024. Kpler data shows that in April 2024, 83% of crude oil and 46% of petroleum products were shipped on shadow tankers. The shrinking role of the mainstream fleet fundamentally undermines the leverage of the price cap.

The shadow fleet is a collection of aging and often poorly maintained vessels with unclear ownership structures and lack of insurance. The number of old, outdated ships departing from Russia has increased dramatically. The EU has recently introduced legislation aimed at cracking down on the sale of mainstream tankers into the Russian shadow trade, but the problem persists. Russia managed to expand its shadow tanker fleet, adding 35 new tankers to replace 41 tankers added to OFAC’s SDN list since December 2023. These tankers, all over 15 years old, are managed outside the EU/G7. With 85% of the tankers aged over 15 years, the risk of oil spills at sea is heightened.

The shadow fleet poses a significant and rising threat to the environment. The aging and underinsured vessels increase the risk of oil spills, a potential catastrophe for which Russia would likely refuse to pay. The vessels can cause collisions, leak oil, malfunction, or even sink, posing a threat to other ships, water, and marine life. With estimates suggesting over 1,400 ships have defected to the dark side serving Russia, the potential for environmental damage is substantial. For instance, since the beginning of 2022, 230 shadow fleet tankers have transported Russian crude oil through the Danish straits on 741 occasions. Also, a shadow fleet tanker on its way to load crude in Russia collided with another ship in the strait between Denmark and Sweden. Last year, a fully loaded oil tanker lost propulsion and drifted off the Danish island of Langeland for six hours. Recovery after any potential oil spill could take decades.

Added to the environmental issue, seaborne Russian oil is almost entirely heading to the Asian markets, with India, China, and Turkey being the biggest buyers. In 2023, 86% of oil exports went to friendly countries compared to 40% in 2021, and 84% of petroleum product exports compared to 30% in 2021. This shift in export destinations highlights the changing geopolitical landscape of the oil market due to the sanctions and the rise of the shadow fleet. Several measures have been proposed to address the challenges posed by the shadow fleet. These include stricter sanctions on individual vessels, increased scrutiny of financial institutions involved in Russian oil deals, and fines that would limit sales or decommission tankers.

The G7 countries are taking measures to tighten control over the price cap and further pressure Russia. The US has introduced a series of sanctions against ships and shipowners suspected of violating the price cap. However, concerns remain that these measures could lead to higher energy prices and escalate tensions with Russia. The Danish foreign ministry has stated that “The Russian shadow fleet is an international problem that requires international solutions.” The shadow fleet has allowed Russia to circumvent Western sanctions and continue profiting from its oil exports, but it has come at a significant cost. The environmental risks posed by these aging and poorly maintained vessels are alarming, and the shift in oil trade patterns is reshaping the geopolitical landscape. Addressing this complex issue will require concerted international efforts and a delicate balance between maintaining sanctions and ensuring stable energy markets. The situation is unsustainable, and the need for action is becoming increasingly urgent.

• Pager Bomb Plot 15 Years In The Making – ABC News (RT)

Israeli intelligence services have been contemplating an operation along the lines of this week’s mass explosions of Hezbollah electronic devices for at least 15 years, a US intelligence source has told ABC News. Thousands of people were injured in Lebanon by a series of blasts linked to pagers, walkie-talkies, and other equipment used by the militant group. Israel has neither confirmed nor denied responsibility for the incident, although media reports have widely described it as a Mossad plot that involved rigging the gadgets with remotely-triggered explosive charges. Speaking to ABC News, a US source called it a “supply chain interdiction,” adding that the CIA has long been reluctant to employ similar tactics due to the risk of collateral damage. In Lebanon, children were among some two dozen people killed in the attack, which also left many victims mutilated.

The New York Times previously reported that the supply of sabotaged devices started in the summer of 2023, citing multiple officials familiar with the operation. The ABC News report suggested that BAC Consulting, a Hungarian-based firm subcontracted by Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Gold Apollo to produce pagers for Hezbollah, was an Israeli front. The devices were never in Hungary and BAC was “a trading intermediary, with no manufacturing or operational site” in the country, a government spokesperson told the outlet. The administration of Taiwan has distanced the self-ruled Chinese island from the wave of violence in Lebanon. “The components are [mainly] low-end IC [integrated circuits] and batteries,” Economy Minister Kuo Jyh-huei told reporters on Friday, as quoted by Reuters. “I can say with certainty they were not made in Taiwan.”

Beirut and the Hezbollah leadership have blamed Israel for the incident and have declared that Lebanon is now in a state of war with its neighbor. The Israel Defense Forces intensified cross-border attacks on Thursday, in what observers fear may be a prelude for a major ground invasion. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Wednesday announced a “new phase in the war” with the militant movement. An Israeli commando division previously involved in military action in Gaza has moved to the north amid the sharpening tensions. Israel launched large-scale military action in Lebanon in 1982 – leading to a three-year partial occupation and the rise of Hezbollah as a prominent military and political force – and again in 2006, in what turned out to be a month-long incursion.

    So the leader of the Chechens, always presented as a fearsome chap, is poncing around in a Tesla kitted out with a machine gun like a 6-year old sand-nigger’s pickup? Tesla, the favourite vehicle of Netanyahu? Looks like the Chechens have gone soft, their leader certainly has; woke Muslims driving carbon-neutral cars – the ones that hate oil – who would have thunk it. The guy is not the guy he has been made out to be in the press. No wonder they are not supporting their fellow Muslims who’s genocide is supported by Musk and his best mate in Isreal. My view of Chechens has changed, just one more bunch of depraved white people.

    If only he was a Jew, then he would be able to use terrorism and genocide to get his kicks. Instead he is a low class white American with an hyperactive dick and an inadequate sense of self, so he has to obey the law, unlike pretty much anyone else with power in the USA.

    America will die when its people start behaving like its leaders; total criminality, total contempt for morality, total contempt for America, total contempt for the people of America. The time will come and I am sure it is not far away, the rot starts at the head and the head is totally fucked, so the rest of it must be almost dead.

    EU MEP’s all vote for direct war on Russia? I say when that is declared, send one missile to each house. At their home address. That’s what war is, right? When it’s declared? They are voting to be direct participants, right? If not, then vote no, no war: no problems.

    Yes war: “OK, here’s a rifle and a parachute. Easy.”

    “Secret Service Investigating Elon Musk Over Twitter/X Joke

    However, are NOT looking into either shooter and where all their money came from. Why they were all in commercials, all ran illegal guns, and so on.

    From Day’s link: the “What Assassination”, the van with explosives, etc, all linked to the shooter, although nobody said so, (There is still no report or official story at all) like, he walked, rode a bike, AND drove a van? Gosh he’s busy-busy boy!. Anyway, that van had Arizona plates. For why? Crooks has no connection to AZ and it’s not a rental. So…there’s two shooters, because this van is…what, exactly? Yearick was from AZ and has spent years causing violence at every “Protest”, running guns and bombs, from his arms-dealing family, before going to Ukraine. That connection is easy. And why he can drive all over the U.S. with “Weapons of Mass destruction” packed in the van, he just calls NSA on the phone and they say “No charges. National Security.”

    And again in that link, his arm tattoo, seen on the long distance death video (finding the live, gruesome vid is hard) where Crooks has no arm tattoos, still being 17 years old, according to his Press photos.

    No one had yet ASKED his family anything. But if they do, they have America’s most expensive lawyer! All from the DNC. The best lawyer in all America wasn’t doin’ nothin’ ya know, got to fill the time…

    Meanwhile they DID ask unemployed roofer/worldwide jet setter and Hawaii owner. The found HIS family in no time, like hours. His son said, “gosh, that can’t be right, there were never any guns ever. He never acted unhinged, ever, and there’s no incidents I can think of to make him do this.” Huh. That’s odd, weren’t you 10 when Daddy-O ran from the police with a machine gun, barricaded himself into his workplace for 3 hours, and was arrested and charged with a list of heavy felonies? No? Didn’t ring a bell? Nothing? And all his neighbors said he always had a ton of guns around, which is odd for a convicted felon. On gun charges. People that knew him in Ukraine were so disturbed by his talk about assassinating everyone they reported him? Even back then? When he was doing a world tour of “Time”, “WSJ”, “ABC”…?

    But speaking of, he gets a wee restless, hops a $2,500 flight from Honolulu to (Puts finger on map as Trump is touring 30 states nightly) hmmmm, FLORIDA. Then as he gets off the plane, they have the greeter with the big white sign in Miami International, right next to a 12-rack of long guns he can choose from. Hmmmm….I’ll take the 6.5 mm Carcano rifle …no! Wait! The SKS variant. Shoot! I always get that wrong.

    Well thank God it was illegal for him to have guns 30 minutes after he landed…or for the last 30 years…as a felon…or he might have gotten possession of one and shot somebody.

    I can go on all day, but why? Does a single thing make sense? Can a SINGLE reporter ask a SINGLE question? Answer: No. They would be unemployed immediately, then shot if they refused. By KJP. Obama is reading the entire AP press corps emails, so they know! Santa sees you when you’re sleeping! Night-night Mr. Hersh.

    “A lot of war articles today. NATO et al are now saying Putin so far has not reacted very violently to breaches of red lines, therefore he won’t do so in the future either.”

    I think it may be Dima who said, “Um, they’re all YOUR Red Lines. Russia didn’t say they were red lines. You made that up.” That may be so. Here’s one to sleep tight: Russia doesn’t bluff. I’m not sure why, but they say what they will do, then they do it. That’s called “Telling the truth” and that’s why it’s incomprehensible to us, and sounds like, “Myah myah myah.” It goes like this: First, they don’t say much, ‘cause, why bother? But then, why say much, that will only reveal what you’re thinking, what you want, where your attention is, and your chess plans. It would be very low class and take all the joy and humour out of watching it unfold. Plus, if something goes wrong then HE gets the humour in watching it. Then eventually, you HAVE to say something, or it’ll be some big deal, it’ll be really rude, like, for example, you nuked the planet BEFORE saying something instead of AFTER. That wouldn’t be nice. So they have to say SOMETHING! Sigh. But for rules 1-3, you can only say something really obvious, that everybody knows.

    “If you put 5 minute nuclear missiles in Ukraine, we will have to do something about it.” Boom, done. We didn’t say WHAT we will do, and also it’s obvious that we would act anyway, we’re not telling you anything. They call this “Aggressive”, “Threatening war,” and “Bluffing.” Is it? Well, only one way to find out, I guess. This is akin to playing chess and saying, “I’m going to have to take your queen which has moved out of safety.” Everyone knows that. You always take the queen before the king. Then you do it.

    Then the West FAFO and we repeat all over again. For 250 years.

    Ukraine crossed the Red Line. They FAFO. Blowing up an apartment or an ammo dump is annoying, but it’s not a Red Line. There may BE Red Lines, but Russia only said they would first strike under conditions we can all download and read for ourselves, and one of them was threatening the “Existence” of the “Russian State.” Sending a few guys into a forest at the end of a fragile supply line won’t topple 12 time zones.

    So “NATO et al are now saying Putin so far has not reacted very violently to breaches of red lines” THAT THEY MADE UP. And are now therefore saying – according to everyone, PCR and Armstrong, eg – Neocons are all saying to their Leaders that Russia is always bluffing, we can first-strike nuke them and they won’t respond. Uh-huh. Really.

    But none of this matters because they only need some dumb s—t STORY, a LIE that will plausibly MAKE these nit-wits push the button. The real handlers never expect the Politicos to survive and want them all dead anyway. They’ll be safe in their bunkers while the U.S. falls. So they think. So you have to be careful, the Politicos may even know or SUSPECT it’s a lie, but so long as the lie is PLAUSIBLE, they will take it. Do it anyway and be blown to vapor anyway. Because they’re all insane, but all variations of Insane, and you have keep track of the flavors.

    On that note, what did we see this week? Britain and the Nazis got neck deep, deeper than ever, said they’d kill them some pensioners (about 4,000) and so certain of themselves, to finish the formalities, come to their colony the ‘States, and get the sign off AGAIN for England to drag the U.S. into a war AGAIN. Blinken made it clear this was a Go.

    Ooops! Red Hat Wearing Biden said he was pissed off he had to come out of hiding on the summer beaches of Delaware, leave all that ice cream, and say No. Starmer said, “But…” But NO. No no no. No means No. No. Austin said no, I said no: no. Then to keep the door open, they all blamed Jake Sullivan, who may or may not have that opinion, may or may not have said so, and may or may not have been in the room.

    So, Who’s running Biden? Who’s keeping him sucking Brits and the Europe in to be monkey-hammered off when we won’t fight ANOTHER world war for them, for free? Which we CAN’T. Literally, physically CAN’T and even the remaining moronic jetsam that hasn’t been fired from the Pentagon knows that. If we lift a finger we’ll be annihilated in 90 days. They can only say so much, only what’s in their dossiers, but they say it. No. It’s impossible, no. I will not sign.

    See the problem here: IF we hadn’t done this, they’d never have been drawn out, everyone would have said they’re our allies, and allowed this agitation forever. LIKE WE HAVE. For 80 years but at least 40, 1994. The only way to stop it is to SHOW it. ALLOW them, encourage them either, which is the entirety of the Trump Plan. Once everybody sees them, like cockroaches they are horrified at their ugly, demonic appearance and yell STOP! And the only way to cut off Europe’s power to agitate and control us, keep US as a Colony, is to bankrupt them, take them down a level. So you HAVE to have a real war start, you HAVE to have it real cost. Have to tak their real economy. Have to get all Roths and Warburgs leveraged. And they HAVE to think, believe in their little shriveled hearts, that the U.S. will come save them and bankrupt themselves.

    They wouldn’t believe that under Trump, so Trump couldn’t be there. Only Biden could be there. To suck them in and cut them off. Done.

    Speaking of: we’re now at $400B deficit per MONTH. (last month) Which is without note, hey, we all knew, big numbers, mine eyes glazeth over. Yeah, well, they lost $90 BILLION of that, nobody has any idea where it went. And? We’re at $4 TRILLION a year?

    Yeah? That’s nearly the whole amount we gave to Ukraine, missing. In one month? Well thank God the Republicans aren’t asking about it! National Security! How dare you vote and get to know where the money goes? That’s cray-cray. Democracy is when we’re in power and there’s NO idea what we’re doing at all. Ever. About anything. It went to create Epstein a new island, you mugs. You don’t get to ask where $100B goes missing every month, there’s an election on.

    Where’d it go? 1) Election interference, illegally. 2) Ukraine weapons, illegally. 3) Bailing out UK bonds, illegally. Prove me wrong which means you’ll have to show me where it went. When you refuse to tell me, I’m going to make it all up! And that’s disinformation. You don’t want rumors, you don’t want disinformation, release the Information.

    Anyway, Starmer was flat footed and got kicked in the face here. Since the Media works for the same WEF, Globos, they reported it as a slight misunderstanding that will be cleared soon when UK nukes Moscow. …Or a major ammo dump. “The sound of the inevitable, Mr. Anderson.”

    “Starmer later told the media that the talks were “productive” but concentrated on “strategy” rather than a “particular step or tactic”.

    That’s because he’s “Strategizing” on his next step to get the U.S. killed, since this “Particular Step” was renamed “GFY.” He’ll be back. He didn’t murder 4,000 pensioners for nothing. He’s got rape gangs to set free you know.

    Switzerland: as the bankers for the Anglo-Zionists (this is not a slur, this is literally reference to English, UK London banking and the money-flows related to the State of Israel) as they go bankrupt, they will now take down a careless, now integrated and no-longer-independent Switzerland with them. Or so they fear. But is the solution really to lash yourself MORE to the totally, obviously, sinking ship? That Starmer not only put all the rational crew adrift on lifeboats, but also lit it on fire and is dancing on the deck in his underpants? Is that REALLY where you want your interests to lie, Ye brave Swiss? Yes, you’re going to take a brick to the grill, but you’ve survived that before no doubt and so long as your and your people’s interests align, all should be well. ATTACKING your own people in service to ENGLAND, and GERMANY, and not just them, but a tiny, weak, inbred subset of them their own respective people are about to shoot in the face, well, does not seem like the strongest strategy right now.

    They need to see this roll out and get close or they won’t take it seriously. You can import 20,000 black slaves, have them eat cats and dogs in desperation, get on camera, do that while the people give hour-long town meetings about it, and it’s STILL a Conspiracy Theory. So we said this. We said it for years, then increasingly as they both began to admit it (wasn’t it only last year the very IDEA was a Conspiracy Theory?) then as the Fed publishes, then as Presidents promote and set infrastructure for it. And still more now. It’s STILL called a Conspiracy Theory, as Kamala SAYS it it real and she wants to install it.

    So you see why we can’t sit back 20 years ahead of time and just TELL you that Hollywood would like to release “Cuties” to the joy of pedos and to groom your daughters? You literally won’t believe the obvious, raw video footage. So? Then we have to let it get this far so you’ll understand. Your choice. I personally wouldn’t keep charging toward the cliff all day but Americans like the excitement, I guess.

    Anyway, they can’t have drug, prostitute, and payoff deals in Kamala Bucks, and I can’t run a garage sale, so we’d both immediately make a 2nd currency. They’d use heroin bricks or human blood and we’d use Tide Pods. Either way, it would work as well as Zimbabwe. Do It!!!

    My question exactly. BIDEN’S FBI did this? Like Biden’s FBI has been bringing up other charges? Election frauds, etc? Uh, no. Somebody is running Biden’s thing, or Biden himself. Garland would never allow this.

    The base story? Also makes no sense at all. WTF why bother? Iran? They’ve got things to do. They’d hack it, sure, but to give and get caught? No way. Explain in tiny words.

    “• Russia’s Shadow Fleet is a Ticking Geopolitical Timebomb (Garcia)

    Seems fine to me. Not doing any harm. You mean the Timebomb because if Russia EXISTS, the West will BOMB them? Like that? That’s not Russia’s fault.

    “The shadow fleet is a collection of aging and often poorly maintained vessels with unclear ownership structures and lack of insurance.”

    So???????? Bye bye Lloyd’s of London. Everyone was fine with you even so, but you had to go all “Swift Settlement” on everyone and now, no more insurance! Tell me sir: does “Insurance” somehow keep ships from sinking? Then WTF do you care if they have it? And is the ship SAILING? Then WTF business is it of yours who owns it? Oh you’re my and everybody’s MOMMY now? You’re the mommy off all ships, needs to know where every one is at 10 o’clock at night? GFY. None of your business. Nor mine. These nitwits were not shoved into enough lockers growing up. Snitches get stitches. Ferme la bouche.

    “• Pager Bomb Plot 15 Years In The Making – ABC News (RT)

    They are all agog and creaming themselves over a gruesome generalized terrorist attack on civilians. We now have some numbers on who was blown to bits. Like a bunch of children, moms, health care workers. Yay! Go Israel! The media instantly and instinctively knows NOT to have any curiosity about anything and starts every sentence with “attack on Hezbollah.” Oh wait: “Attack on IRANIAN Hezbollah.” These guys are the lowest form of life. Israel and the Reporters too.

    And I caught idiot online commentary, like from Brittany and Chad creaming themselves over how cool it is. This is very nearly the dumbest attack I can think of. Like, if only you could pop off one or two leaders first, before they saw a pattern it might make sense. Now it’s just …I dunno, nobody’s done anything this dumb in centuries. Theory is, someone was decapitated in the attack on Israel’s intel base. There’s been turnover in the war cabinet. So they got a bunch of amateurs on their first action, who like Brittany, thought this is super-rad. Gnarley dude. Considering how childish, and how much static they’ll get for achieving no military ends, I have to agree, but that may be generous of me. It’s a Millennial Plan of ir-reality. Having no contact with strategy, or the real world at all, then oblivious to that it doesn’t, even afterwards.

    What assassination? Was somebody shot?

    Just like the voting: BEFORE he’s shot, there’s no crime. AFTER he’s shot, it’s too late, there’s no case! So you can’t stop him before, and you can’t stop him after. That’s the Law!

    And from that article

    Tulsi Gabbard will host a rally in the belly of the beast, Washington DC, to “break our addiction to war”

    Americans, including those on TAE, are addicted to war and to the elimination of their “enemies”. It is kind of pathetic, it shows zero intelligence, zero emotional intelligence, but there you go, those are Americans for you. Do they not realise that if they keep on attacking their neighbours, eventually their neighbours will destroy them? Can they not read history, or do they think of it being “different this time”?

    Gabbard does not stand a chance, the Americans love to see dead Palestinian children with their legs blown off, it turns them on. like Israeli terrorism killing children in Lebanon turns them on. Yet the USA is the moral high ground and the people of America believe that …. mental illness! The only thing we can cheer is that the worse they behave now, the worse the retribution will be in the future.

    WW3 can only happen if the western drones answer to the meat grinder and offer themselves as grist to the mill, willing volunteers to be the source of profits for the oligarchy. The men of Ukraine mostly escaped, and the retards who stayed behind are now mostly dog shit, returning to nature after having been killed, eaten by dogs, shat in the woods and now turned into whatever by insects … wow, how glory has changed since WW2; Wives may now find their husbands by looking for wedding rings in dog turds.

    The exploding pagers were licensed from a Taiwan company to a shell company in Hungary that had one employee.

    The actually manufacture of the tainted exploding pagers was done in IsRealHell supervised by Mossad

    This is a real Rubicon in organized terrorism.

    Of course, where else could they possibly get an explosives license to make pagers? They probably tried their Jews in America but the person behind the desk asked “what is a pager”, they tried to explain but the person was so retarded that they had to put the workshop in Israel.

    Mark Lacy…good article. “The weaponization of everything has begun.”

    God bless Rip Van Winkle, er ah, Mark Lacy, but it’s worth beating this not so dead horse into a few local skulls. Fighting it, those who would solicit and justify torture, war, weaponized medicine deserve to be hounded to the ends of the earth and for time immemorial.

    On Winkle: “He awakes 20 years later to a very changed world, having missed the American Revolution”

    Mark Lacy’s essay:

    The weaponization of everything has begun

    However,…

     ….Stephen Miles MD hit it, weaponized medicine, pretty well ~20+ years ago. The Bush Administration went that route and they had the enthusiastic support of Elspeth Ritchie, Admiral Don Arthur and his two other Uniformed Surgeons General, Mitchell&Jessen and military medical personnel the world over, particularly, Abu Ghraib, Gitmo and Bagram. Neither The US Constitution nor The Hippocratic Oath “are suicide pacts” for the Nation, they said.
    “Ours is a higher ethical and moral calling to Justice in defense of the Nation”, she continued politely.

    My reply to Elspeth who stood just in front of Don Arthur et al:
    “No. What you espouse is a factual, practical and deliberate solicitation to violate the Constitution. Who rewrote Title X? Did DoD attempt to paint this decision with a false coating of morality by enlisting the participation of the Army’s, Navy’s and Air Force’s doctors? Who authorized Mitchell&Jessen Associates and the Army/Navy psychologist to betray their duty to patients at Gitmo?”

    Miles book: OATH BETRAYED: TORTURE, MEDICAL COMPLICITY, AND THE WAR ON TERROR BY STEVEN H. MILES, M. D

    And it’s nothing new. Since Slavery, Bad people pathologized what were normal acts of survival and resistance by enslaved persons as the first act of weaponizing psychiatry, mental health against resisters.
    Y’all knew that.

    Well, how do you think National Command Authority took to one of its credible, best senior officers opposing the normalization of war crimes, torture, and the deliberate targeting of children some 20+ years ago?
    Don’t tug on Superman’s cape or spit into the wind they say.

    Here’s a hint. Our local fan of Ike Eisenhower will get the reference.
    Challenging military authority got Pvt Eddie Slovik executed by firing squad. It didn’t help Eddie was a petty criminal. How could Slovik have undermined The Army’s and Ike Eisenhower’s “good order and discipline” if the execution was kept secret within the Army, European theater and from Eddie’s wife n family? The 3 Generals who reviewed Slovik’s death sentence said so.
    Ike never made it the meat grinder that was WWI or as far as Eddie made it in WWII to before deserting. Apparently there are socially acceptable ways to eschew combat without risking execution by firing squad.

    Well, I can attest to fact they haven’t stopped. So why should I give up the game?

    (((…but they were abrogating the Law, not me. My assertions are, were and until amended backed by Oath, Title X and the Constitution.)))

    Ans: Maria Borrero explains how it works except contrary to her broad assertion they’ll enlist nurses, secretaries, pharmacists, a strategic patient and technicians to weaponize professionalism against accomplished white doctors too.

    Maria Borrero gets it partially correct in her paper entitled “Weaponization of Professionalism Against Physicians of Color”

    In a few weeks I am going to be teaching a class series at the local retirement community about technologies of the 21st century. Some of it will be “fun and games” — demonstrating technology that is new, such as a robot vacuum, a VR headset, etc. — that most seniors have not experienced. However, as I was speaking with my 91 year old friend, I realized that even she would like to better understand how the technologies of the 21st century are shaping our lives in less obvious ways. I am contemplating how to weave these ideas into the classes, ideas such as: CBDCs, loss of privacy, total surveillance, children who are addicted to smartphones, medical technologies that are essentially driven by “mad scientists,” medical data (and other types) all stored “in the cloud” — and constantly being breached, and how Big Tech and the government are collecting data on all of us for marketing and social control. I don’t want to preach…but I want to open minds to what is going on.

    (Some might say that this is useless, but I remember a particular technology class that I did about Android devices, where instruction about how to find the privacy information regarding apps in google play resulted in the class-goers that day coming to the realization of what these apps could do “behind the scenes” — and they were wise enough to realize the nefarious implications without me spelling it out.)

    So, if anyone has any topical suggestions, please leave them in the comments today and tomorrow and I will read through them. Thanks much!
