The condemnation of Kissinger after his death is pretty much everywhere. Which makes it interesting that two people who actually knew him, Paul Craig Roberts and Scott Ritter, have their own, different, opinions.

The Real Kissinger – My Memories of Henry (Paul Craig Roberts)

Henry Kissinger at 100 years of age left the world he temporarily altered for the better after watching the neoconservatives in the Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden regimes wipe out his accomplishments. Kissinger and President Nixon were men of peace. They inherited a disastrous war–Vietnam–that they had no hand in making. President John F. Kennedy intended to stop the war before it could get started, which was one of the reasons he was assassinated by the CIA, Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Secret Service. The Soviet Threat had to be resisted even at the cost of President Kennedy’s life and the trauma inflicted on what was still in those days a free nation. President Nixon and Kissinger also had to restart the efforts of President Kennedy to defuse the dangerous tensions of the Cold War that both the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam war brought to the surface.

The pursuit of detente by the Nixon administration produced the Strategic Arms Limitations Agreement and created a working relationship between Washington and Moscow. Nixon’s opening to China might have prevented another war. Nixon and Kissinger’s achievements in defusing the Cold War were unrivaled until President Reagan and Soviet leader Gorbachev ended the Cold war. The Clinton regime violated the word of the George H.W. Bush administration that in exchange for the Soviet Union permitting the reunification of Germany, the US would not move NATO one inch toward the East. All subsequent US regimes exited from all of the arms agreements that had reduced tensions and created a bond of trust between the nuclear superpowers. This bond is especially important, because of the numerous false warnings from warning systems.

The consequence of unraveling the work of Nixon, Kissinger, and Reagan is the total lack of trust today between the US and Russia. The situation today is far worse than it was in the darkest days of the Cold War.As an insider I well know that the problem of conservative presidents, such as Nixon and Reagan, in easing tensions with Russia is that their conservative base is suspicious of the effort. I well remember that Reagan’s efforts at detente with the Soviet Union were suspected by Reagan’s conservative base. Conservatives worried that a former movie star was not a match for cunning communists, and that America would come out the loser. Nixon faced a worse problem. He was trapped by President Johnson’s regime in a gratuitous war that could not be won. But if he left without winning he would endanger his base of support.

The problem of the conservative base is the reason both Reagan and Nixon spoke aggressively, thus causing the leftwing to see them as warmongers. The dilemma Nixon and Kissinger faced is the reason for the Cambodian bombings. They were desperate to get a situation from which they could exit the war without it being interpreted as a defeat by their political base. They were trying to use force to achieve an honorable exit, but the enemy would not give it to them.The leftwing, of course, unable to comprehend the conundrum, interpreted Nixon and Kissinger as war criminals. This erroneous interpretation has held to the present day. Today I still encounter American conservatives who claim that Reagan won the Cold War. This is nonsense. Reagan told those of us involved that the purpose was to end, not win, the Cold War.

Conservatives justify Reagan as the winner of the Cold War, as the man who collapsed the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union collapsed three years after Reagan left office. No one, including the CIA, expected the collapse of the Soviet Union. It caught the US government off guard. The Soviet collapse occurred because hardline members of the Politburo, who feared Gorbachev was liberalizing too rapidly, placed Soviet President Gorbachev under house arrest. It was Gorbachev’s arrest that led to Yeltsin and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

“..the consequence of the “breakdown” of the work of Nixon, Reagan, and Kissinger today is “a complete lack of trust between the United States and Russia.”

How US Broke Kissinger’s Efforts to Improve Relations With Russia – PCR (Sp.)

The collapse of the legacy of former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who sought to improve Soviet-American relations, as well as the policy of Presidents Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon, has led to the fact that trust between Washington and Moscow is completely absent today, Paul Craig Roberts, former assistant Treasury secretary, told Sputnik. According to Roberts, who personally knew Kissinger, the achievements of Nixon and Kissinger on the issue of détente between the US and the USSR “were unrivaled” until President Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev ended the Cold War. “The (Bill) Clinton administration broke its word, given by George W. Bush. The Bush administration said that in exchange for the USSR agreeing to the reunification of Germany, the US would not move NATO’s borders one inch eastward.

All subsequent US administrations have withdrawn from arms agreements that served for reducing tensions and forged bonds of trust between the nuclear superpowers,” Roberts said. According to the former Treasury Department official, the consequence of the “breakdown” of the work of Nixon, Reagan, and Kissinger today is “a complete lack of trust between the United States and Russia.” “The situation today is far worse than even in the darkest days of the Cold War,” Roberts stressed. Kissinger’s death was announced on November 29. The former secretary of state gained fame as one of the most influential political figures in the United States, leaving a significant mark on the history of diplomacy. Despite his advanced age, Kissinger commented extensively on current international events, including the situation in Ukraine.

“..without Henry Kissinger, there probably would have been no INF treaty, no START treaty, no SALT agreements, no ABM treaty—no arms control. Without Henry Kissinger, there would very likely have been a nuclear war.”

Henry Kissinger: The War Criminal Who Saved The World (Scott Ritter)

To be honest, as I entered the US Marines after graduating college in 1984, I didn’t give Henry Kissinger much thought—he was, from my perspective, a relic of the past, a bad national nightmare who, like his boss, Richard Nixon, was fading into the pages of historical irrelevance. And then, in early 1988, everything changed. I was taken from the deserts of southern California, where I had been perfecting skills associated with the Marine Corps mission of closing with and destroying the enemy through firepower and maneuver, and dispatched to Washington, DC, where I was made part of a team that would implement inspection tasks associated with the implementation of the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty.

As I learned more about the treaty, and its relationship to the history of US-Soviet arms control, the name Henry Kissinger kept popping up. Kissinger, it turns out, was the Godfather of US-Soviet arms control, the man who crafted the anti-ballistic missile treaty, considered one of the foundational agreements which defined the strategic relationship between the US and Soviet Union. He was also the driving force behind the policy of détente between the US and Soviet Union which led to an end to the nuclear arms race and heralded in the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) which eventually turned into the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START). The INF treaty was a byproduct of the vision set forth by Henry Kissinger. I often speak of the importance of the INF treaty in preventing nuclear war, and remain convinced that without it, a nuclear conflict between the US and Soviet Union was inevitable.

It turns out that without Henry Kissinger, there probably would have been no INF treaty, no START treaty, no SALT agreements, no ABM treaty—no arms control. Without Henry Kissinger, there would very likely have been a nuclear war. Following my assignment as an arms inspector in the Soviet Union, I returned to the Marine Corps, where, from August 1990 until August 1998, my life was defined by Iraq—first through Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm, and then later, as a weapons inspector with the United Nations tasked with overseeing the disarmament of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction programs. Once again, Henry Kissinger disappeared into the background, only to reappear in the summer of 1998 as one of the “foreign policy experts” who articulated openly about the need to remove Saddam Hussein from power.

Following my resignation from the United Nations, in August 1998, I received an invitation from Teddy Forstmann, one of the founders of the private equity corporation Forstmann & Little, to fly to Aspen, Colorado, to speak as part of an annual policy discussion forum that brought together the “best and the brightest” in the world under a single roof where the issues of the day would be addressed. Among the notable people present was none other than Henry Kissinger. I had the opportunity to rub elbows with Mr. Kissinger on several occasions during the Aspen forum. We talked, of course, about Iraq—this was pre-9/11, pre-WMD fabrication, where the issues revolved primarily around Saddam Hussein and the threat he posed to regional peace and security. But most of all we talked about arms control, and the importance of preserving the legacy of disarmament that had been started under the Nixon administration, but which seemed to be slipping away under Bill Clinton’s watch.

I last saw Henry Kissinger in May 1999, at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner. Mr. Kissinger was attended to by a retired Secret Service officer whom I had met at the Aspen event. After the dinner and speeches, he approached my table and told me Mr. Kissinger wanted to speak with me. I was ushered to a side room, where the famous former diplomat was waiting. “I wanted to continue our conversation,” Kissinger said.

US Pushing Nuclear Arms Race ‘Can Only Have Tragic Ending’ – Scott Ritter (Sp.)

In early November, a scheduled test of an unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) by the United States ended in failure as the Air Force was forced to prematurely self-destruct the missile in mid-flight. The Pentagon said it was “due to an anomaly” during the test.The nuclear-tipped missile has been in service since 1970, having its service life extended several times after the end of the Cold War in 1990, which caused the US to de-emphasize strategic missile production. A new system, the Sentinel ICBM, is currently being developed to replace the Minuteman III, but isn’t scheduled to fully replace the older missile for another decade.

However, when the Sentinel and other nuclear-capable weapons, such as the B-21 Raider bomber, finally enter service, they’ll already be outclassed by Russian and Chinese counterparts, since those nations have already achieved nuclear superiority over the US, Scott Ritter, a former UN weapons inspector in Iraq, told Radio Sputnik’s The Critical Hour on Thursday. Ritter recently authored an article on Consortium News titled: “The End of US Nuclear Superiority.” “The United States has a nuclear deterrence model called the Triad. There’s three legs to the triad: there’s the manned aerial bomber leg that consists of B-52H bombers and B-2 bombers; there is a sea leg, submarine launched ballistic missiles, the Trident IIs carried on board the old Ohio-class submarines; and then there’s the ground leg, which consists of 400 Minuteman III missiles that are loaded into silos across the Midwest of the United States,” Ritter explained.

“The Minuteman III is a very old missile. It’s been refurbished. It’s had its fuel scraped out, new fuel put in. But the bottom line is, it’s reached the end of its usefulness in this test. You know, it’s a test that the Air Force carries out periodically that’s designed to show the reliability of the Minuteman III system. Well, it failed. And so what we have here is a Cold War relic that is on life support and it may not be able to do the job that it’s supposed to do.
“Then you compare and contrast this with the Russian missiles that are being fielded now, two in particular: the Sarmat missile, which is a heavy intercontinental ballistic missile carrying multiple warheads, including the Avangard hypersonic maneuverable warhead. It also can be fired, because of its range, over the South Pole, which means it comes into the United States from a direction that our early-warning radars aren’t situated – all our radars are oriented toward the North Pole, the traditional entry route of Russian missiles if there was to be a war.

There’s the Yars missile, which is not only road-mobile, but also could be fired from a silo. And the Yars missile can carry the Avangard hypersonic maneuverable warhead.” “The Avangard is a warhead that’s designed to defeat any missile defense system in the world. It was developed by the Russians in response to the decision by President George W. Bush, back in 2002, to withdraw from the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty and therefore begin deploying ballistic missile defense systems that the Russians deemed to threaten the notion of strategic parity, meaning that the United States fielded a missile defense system capable of shooting down Russian warheads and fielded systems that could allow for a preemptive first-strike. The United States may believe they can nullify Russia’s strategic nuclear deterrent and therefore push Russia around any way they want. That’s unacceptable to the Russians.”

[..]“Look at The Economist, the hard Russophobic magazine. The cover[says]: ‘Is Russia winning the War?’ Oh, yeah. ‘Did we get it wrong?’ You’re damn right you did. Everybody got it wrong. The Russian defense industry right now is orders of magnitude advanced over ours. They are producing new systems, modern systems, systems that are derived from experiences of less than a year. Like I told you, the B-21 is a 10-to-15 year old design. The Russians are putting out new things. Look what we did with China: we’re trying to strangle their chips, saying they will never be able to develop a certain size chip. And so we cut them off from the lithographic machines from the Netherlands and from this supply and that supply, and in less than a year, the Chinese are not only producing that chip, but better chips, because they were compelled to do it themselves. And they are so far ahead of us in terms of other technologies.” he said.

Israeli Army Plants New Fake Hamas Atrocity Story (Cradle)

The Israeli military is seeking to manipulate Israeli journalists to plant false stories of Hamas atrocities in the media. On 28 November, Israeli journalist Yishai Cohen published video of an interview in which an Israeli soldier claimed that dead “Babies and children were hung in a clothes line in a row,” in Be’eri, a settlement near Gaza that was attacked by Hamas on 7 October. Cohen later deleted the video, as the claim could not be confirmed, but the video garnered hundreds of thousands of views on the social media site X during the eight hours it was online. Other X users continued to share the clip after Cohen deleted the post. One X user criticized Cohen, writing, “How do you upload such a video online without having 100% certainty? Why is everything here amateurish and crooked?”

Cohen, a journalist for the Hebrew language Kikar HaShabbat news website, explained his mistake, saying the interview was offered to him by the Israeli army spokesperson. “I did not know the interviewee before. A representative of DoC was present in all the filming and approved the broadcast,” he said. “After posting the promo, there were complaints, so I immediately deleted it within minutes. And yet, even this morning, the IDF [army] spokesman refrained from claiming that this was a false story. By the way, the interviewee insists that the story is accurate and there was even another witness to this.” Haaretz journalist Amir Tibbon criticized Cohen for taking the soldier’s word, and not confirming the story, especially as only one child was killed in the area in the kibbutz in question.

In response, Cohen explained that, “I admit that I didn’t think it was necessary to check the truth of a story brought by a lieutenant colonel, a general officer of the Gaza division, and also accompanied by a representative of the DoC. Why would an army officer make up such a horrific story? I was wrong.” Cohen was among the Israeli journalists who debunked the previous claim that Hamas had beheaded 40 babies during the 7 October surprise attack. A volunteer from United Hatzalah rescues service, Asher Moskowitz, had claimed he was at the Shura military base when bodies were arriving. He claimed that “Most of the bodies from Kfar Aza were burned, but what I saw with this body— it was relatively complete, but hard like a rock, and on its stomach was the sign of a heating element, like a half a circle or a big chain.”

Moskowitz continued by saying that someone from Chevreh Kadishah [the Israeli military organization that prepares bodies for burial] told him that “based on the signs on the body, it looks like they put him inside the oven alive,” and that “they found the baby dead inside the oven.” However, the Jerusalem Post went on to report that no journalists have been able to verify the claim, including Cohen of Kikar HaShabbat news website. Cohen tried to confirm the story with the Israeli military, another rescue service called Zaka, the Shura military base, and other sources, but was unable to. Haaretz journalist Chaim Levinson also investigated the claim and said, “I checked. Did not happen.”

US Needs Gaza War to Destabilize BRICS, Greater Eurasia – Pepe Escobar (Sp.)

The Biden administration needs an Israeli victory in Gaza in order to undermine BRICS and other economic integration initiatives led by Russia and China, veteran geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar told the New Rules podcast. “This is an American diversionist tactic to once again go against BRICS multipolarity, especially given the fact that Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates now have a very graphic, tangible opportunity to link themselves to the birth of the new Eurasia when they become members of BRICS,” he said. Escobar noted that during the G20 summit in New Delhi in September, the United States and Israel unveiled the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) initiative. The project, Escobar explained, seeks to bypass China’s Belt and Road Initiative and transform Israel into a key energy and logistical hub.

Notably, when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a speech at the UN General Assembly later that month, he presented a map of the “New Middle East” without Palestine. This was no accident, according to Escobar. “The impression that [Netanyahu] gave all of us who follow international relations is that they created this IMEC idea on the fly and they needed to start implementing it in some way. And part of it was ‘Okay, let’s rekindle the war in Israel-Palestine because then we offer the Israelis or the Israelis offer themselves the possibility of solving the Palestine problem.’ Because this comes with another element: the Ben Gurion Canal, which is an old idea first floated in the 60s of building a canal where Israel has control and not the Egyptians. So you transfer all the connectivity and all the trade from Suez to the Ben Gurion Canal.”

Escobar predicted that although the Israeli government is facing growing international criticism for its actions in Gaza, the Biden administration is unlikely to abandon the IMEC initiative. “This [conflict] proves once again that the US will never leave West Asia…The region is absolutely essential for the empire, considering that the Americans are being slowly, but surely and very forcefully expelled from the big Eurasia by the Russia-China strategic partnership – by their trade deals, their multilateral organizations and economic integration projects. All that goes completely against American domination of Eurasia.”

“Attitudes among young people skewed toward Palestine long before TikTok existed..”

Tik Tok Under Western Pressure To Censor Pro-Palestine Voices (Cradle)

TikTok’s Chief Executive Officer Shou Chew recently met 40 business leaders, including many from the tech field, who sought to push for the app to take “a more neutral stance” on the campaign of genocide unfolding in the Gaza Strip, Bloomberg reported on 30 November. The meeting included other TikTok executives and several investment partners, who forwarded a letter signed by 90 professionals in an effort to get TikTok to “uphold its commitment” to “prevent harm,” according to investment partner Anthony Goldbloom. Signatories of the letter expressed that they felt the app was violating this clause as claims of “antisemitism” have increased since the 7 October Hamas-led Al-Aqsa Flood operation.

TikTok denied political bias in the app’s algorithm. “Attitudes among young people skewed toward Palestine long before TikTok existed,” a press release by the app says. “Support for Israel (as compared to sympathy for Palestine) has been lower among younger Americans for some time. This is evidenced by looking at Gallup polling data of millennials dating as far back as 2010, long before TikTok even existed.” The push to silence voices in support of Palestine has been prevalent since the beginning of the war. There has been a slurry of anti-Palestinian propaganda that has been used to justify the Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip. Media campaigns like “Facts for Peace” have sprung up to bolster the Israeli image in the public eye by seeking million-dollar donations from some of the world’s biggest names in media, finance, and technology.

Israel, in an act of domestic image boosting, has also banned news outlets like Al-Mayadeen from reporting within its borders, claiming such a thing would “jeopardize” the state image. DeclassifiedUK examined the headlines of multiple legacy papers and found that “the mechanics of the western press’ dehumanization of Palestinians in death and life are revealed as clinical and routine.” “In the UK-US mainstream media, Israelis die actively. They are either killed or murdered by Hamas,” the news outlet writes. “Palestinian civilians, by contrast, die passively – and yet it is they who have done most of the dying since 7 October; over ten times the number of Israelis killed.”

Israel Irate Over Spanish PM Support For Palestine (Cradle)

Israel’s Foreign Ministry announced on 30 November it was recalling its envoy in Spain, Rodica Radian-Gordon, for consultations following remarks made by the country’s prime minister. The Spanish ambassador in Tel Aviv was also summoned in protest to the comments. “Because of the outrageous remarks by the Spanish prime minister, who again repeated baseless claims, I have decided to summon the Israeli ambassador in Spain for consultations in Jerusalem,” Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said. “Israel is acting, and will continue to act, according to international law, and will continue the war until all the hostages are returned and Hamas is eliminated from Gaza.”

While speaking with a local broadcaster on 30 November, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez expressed “serious doubt” that Israel was carrying out its assault on Gaza in line with international humanitarian law, particularly given “growing numbers of children dying.” The Spanish prime minister also called on the EU to recognize an independent Palestinian state. “It is in Europe’s interest to address this issue out of moral conviction because what we are seeing in Gaza is not acceptable,” Sanchez said. The office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the Spanish premier’s “shameful remark on a day in which Hamas terrorists murdered Israelis in our capital, Jerusalem.” The comments came the same day as a shooting operation in the occupied holy city, which resulted in the deaths of four settlers. The Hamas fighters behind the attack were killed at the scene.

Sanchez’s comments were not his first on the current war raging in Gaza. Last week, the prime minister accused Netanyahu of “indiscriminate killing” and suggested his country may unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state. Representatives from several EU countries, including Ireland and others, have strongly criticized Israel’s war on the Hamas movement in Gaza. In October, over 800 EU officials wrote in a letter to the head of the bloc, Ursula von der Leyen, that they “hardly recognize the values of the EU” and reject the “seeming indifference demonstrated … by our institution towards the ongoing massacre of civilians in the Gaza Strip, in disregard for human rights and international humanitarian law.”

They knew about it for a year, but they only started making plans after the fact?

Israel Planning Global Assassination Campaign – WSJ (RT)

Israeli spies are preparing to assassinate Hamas leaders living in Lebanon, Türkiye, and Qatar once the war with the militant group is over, officials have told the Wall Street Journal. The operation was reportedly planned more than a month ago, but postponed so that hostage negotiations could take place. The Israeli intelligence services began drawing up plans for the assassination campaign after Hamas’ October 7 attack on the Jewish state, the American newspaper reported on Thursday, citing the anonymous officials. Some reportedly wanted to embark on the campaign immediately, but were ordered to wait so that negotiations to free the roughly 240 hostages held by Hamas could progress. The killings have been authorized by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the officials said, adding that it is now a matter of when, not if, the campaign will begin.

While such operations are usually planned in secret, the Israeli government has explicitly warned that it intends to kill Hamas operatives outside of Gaza. Before the officials leaked the story to the Wall Street Journal, Netanyahu declared last month that he had “instructed the Mossad to act against the heads of Hamas wherever they are.” Answering directly to the prime minister’s office, Mossad is Israel’s foreign intelligence and covert operations agency, roughly analogous to the American CIA. The agency has a long history of assassinations on foreign soil, some of which have escalated into major diplomatic incidents. Famed for capturing Adolf Eichmann – a Nazi officer and leading organizer of the Holocaust – in 1960, Mossad failed to kill many of the Nazis it hunted in the decades immediately after World War II, despite having an extensive hit list to work through.

The agency launched a letter-bombing campaign against former Nazi scientists working for Egypt’s rocket program in the early 1960s, but the operation was called off by Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion in 1963 after multiple targets escaped and at least five Egyptian workers were killed. In a multi-decade clandestine operation launched after Palestinian militants killed 11 Israeli athletes and coaches at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, Mossad agents killed 18 people suspected of involvement in the massacre. One of those killed was a Moroccan waiter in Norway, an incident that led to the arrest and sentencing of five Israeli agents by the Norwegian authorities.

More recently, Netanyahu ordered Mossad to assassinate Hamas co-founder Khaled Mashal in Jordan in 1997. The two-man assassination team was captured after one sprayed a toxin into Mashal’s ear, and Jordan threatened to shred its peace treaty with Israel in response. The diplomatic standoff was defused when Israeli agents delivered an antidote to the toxin and Netanyahu agreed to release dozens of Palestinian prisoners, including Hamas imam and co-founder Ahmed Yassin. Mossad agents were also caught using forged Irish, British, and Australian passports for an assassination operation in Dubai in 2010.

US Aims To Halve Russia’s Oil, Gas Revenues By 2030 (TASS)

Washington is aiming to halve Russia’s oil and gas revenues by the end of this decade, Geoffrey Pyatt, US assistant secretary of state for energy resources, told the Financial Times. Western sanctions on Russia’s oil came into force on December 5, 2022. The International Energy Agency has forecast that its oil and gas exports could fall “by at least 40-50 per cent by 2030” if western sanctions on Russia’s energy industry are maintained, FT said. “This is something that we’re going to have to stick to for years to come,” as long as the Ukrainian conflict continues, Pyatt said. “We’re going to do everything we can to help make that true,” he was quoted as saying.

“The goal of these sanctions is to change Russia’s behavior,” the official added. Sticking to sanctions against Russia “has enormous geopolitical implications in terms of <…> Russia’s ability to use its energy as a strategic asset,” Pyatt noted. In December 2022, the European Union stopped receiving Russian oil delivered by sea, while G7 countries, Australia and the EU imposed a price cap for it, setting the ceiling at $60 a barrel. It is banned to deliver or insure more expensive oil.

“Trump’s lawyers have argued that speeches on “election integrity” are “at the heart of his official responsibilities as president,” and are therefore protected from legal consequences..”

Trump Can Be Sued For Capitol Riot, Court Rules (RT)

Former US President Donald Trump is not immune from being sued over his alleged role in instigating the January 6, 2021 riot on Capitol Hill, an appeals court in Washington DC ruled on Friday. Democrats and Capitol Police officers took legal action against Trump in the wake of the violent protest.In a unanimous verdict, the court rejected Trump’s argument that “presidential immunity” forbids him from being held liable for the events of that day, which took place while he was still in power. In a speech to his supporters before the riot, Trump told them to “fight like hell” against his election loss, but to do so “peacefully and patriotically.”In the ruling, Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan wrote that the president “does not spend every minute of every day exercising official responsibilities,” and “when he acts in an unofficial, private capacity, he is subject to civil suits like any private citizen.”

A trio of lawsuits brought by Democratic lawmakers and US Capitol Police officers allege that Trump’s ‘fight like hell’ speech encouraged the mob to storm the Capitol, and should pay damages. Two officers injured during the riot are seeking a minimum of $75,000 from the former president.Four people died during the protest, all of them Trump supporters. One woman, an Air Force veteran named Ashli Babbitt, was shot dead by a Capitol Police officer during a scuffle near the entrance to the House chamber. The court’s decision paves the way for these lawsuits to go ahead, and could also influence the outcome of a criminal case brought against the former president by Special Counsel Jack Smith.

In August, Smith charged Trump with conspiracy to defraud the US, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights, making the same argument that Trump’s speech provoked the storming of the Capitol. Trump’s lawyers have argued that speeches on “election integrity” are “at the heart of his official responsibilities as president,” and are therefore protected from legal consequences. Trump himself has dismissed Smith’s case as a “pathetic attempt by the Biden Crime Family and their weaponized Department of Justice to interfere with the 2024 Presidential Election.”

Trump is currently the frontrunner to take the Republican Party’s nomination for next year’s election. However, the former president faces multiple legal obstacles. Smith is overseeing two criminal cases against Trump, the second concerning his alleged mishandling of classified documents. In addition to the three civil suits concerning the Capitol riot, Trump is being sued by New York Attorney General Letitia James for allegedly inflating the worth of his business empire, and faces charges in Georgia for allegedly trying to overturn President Joe Biden’s 2020 victory in the state. Finally, Trump is being tried in New York for his alleged misreporting of “hush-money” payments to porn star Stormy Daniels. Trump insists that all of the cases against him are part of the same overarching, Democrat-led plot to sideline Biden’s leading opponent ahead of the 2024 election.

The Curious Fraud Case Against Trump Just Got ‘Curiouser’ (Turley)

“Curiouser and curiouser.” Those words from Alice in Wonderland seem the only apt description of the case unfolding in the New York courtroom of Justice Arthur F. Engoron over the alleged fraudulent practices of former president Donald Trump, his family and his business. The charges brought by New York State Attorney General Letitia James were curious from the start. James had run for office on the pledge that she would hunt down Trump, a promise that apparently thrilled many New Yorkers. However, she brought a civil case based on Trump over- and under-estimating the values of his properties. As some of us have previously stated, there do appear to have been assets that were inflated or deflated in value. That may be a common practice in New York real estate, but it is not a good practice.

Indeed, I believe a penalty is warranted for such practices, but those should be uniformly imposed and would be a fraction of the fortune sought by James in this case. The evidence shows that banks made money on these loans, which were paid off either early or on time. In fact, none of the banks complained about the Trump organization’s estimations, which were accompanied by a warning that the banks should not rely on those estimates. Moreover, James is seeking to kill a corporation once viewed as iconic in New York, not just by denying the certificates for the Trumps to do business in the city but by imposing $250 million in penalties for money that no one actually lost. That all became curiouser this week when two bankers were called by the defense.

Rosemary Vrablic and David Williams worked on Deutsche Bank loans to the Trumps for years, and they testified that the banks made millions and viewed Trump as a much-sought-after “whale” client — what Vrablic described as a “very high net-worth individual.” Williams testified that net worth is “subjective” in such documents as property valuations and are offered as mere “estimates.” It is not uncommon for a bank’s estimates to differ from a client’s. Vrablic wrote emails at the time about the benefits to the bank in dealing with the Trumps, as well as pitches to the family that the bank was happy to extend conditions which allowed added benefits of “flexibility, rate and service” to get the business relationship. Justice Engoron seemed irritated by the testimony, however, and when Trump counsel asked why the bank was so eager to secure future loans, Engoron snapped back: “They’re trying to make money. Why wouldn’t they be interested?”

The real question here is James’ overriding interest in killing the company. Engoron has already declared that Trump is guilty of fraud, and he is now weighing the massive penalties sought by James — and eagerly supported by many New Yorkers. That eagerness could prove the court’s undoing, however. Some of Engoron’s earlier orders are currently under review. Yet it is James’ demand for the effective dissolution of the corporation and $250 million in penalties that could push this case beyond the curious to the unconstitutional. It is relatively rare for civil damages to trigger constitutional review, and it is still far from clear that this case will rise to that level. The New York law is unique in allowing massive penalties without the loss of a single dollar by a bank. However, James wants dissolution and crippling damages, and that could trigger a higher-court review.

[..] In the Trump case, the banks made money. It would be akin to the car owner’s value going up with the paint job but still hitting BMW with punitive damages. James is known for her embrace of nuclear options when it comes to political opponents or groups. She previously sought to persuade a court to force the dissolution of the National Rifle Association. The question is, what happens if she finally has found an enabling judge in Engoron? The testimony of the bankers highlights how out of proportion this effort has become. One would expect the banks to have sought action as the aggrieved parties if they had suffered losses as a result of Trump misconduct. They did not. While they discontinued working with the Trumps after the start of the New York criminal and civil actions, they have remained silent.

“Years before the Covid-19 fiasco, Mr. Kirsch gave MIT $2.5 million to build a new lecture hall. Then, during Covid-19, Mr. Kirsch asked MIT to allow him to stage a lecture about his findings. The MIT administrators refused to let Mr. Kirsch speak in the lecture hall that he paid for.”

The Magic Moment (Kunstler)

History is a trickster. It unfolds emergently with uncanny creativity, often blindsiding humanity with the unanticipated consequences and non-linear outcomes of previous unfoldings. So, here we are now in a Second Civil War. Really? “Between whom?” you might ask. Between truth and untruth. Between a sociopathic bureaucratic blob steeped in lies and a citizenry obliged to live and die by the blob’s lies.Case-in-point: the emergent evolution of US public health agencies, the CDC, the FDA, the NIH, the NIAID and their many fiefdoms, into a gigantic engine of death fueled by incessant and persistent lying. The people running these agencies lied to you about the creation and origin of the novel corona virus, SARS Covid-19. Then they lied about the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines created as the sovereign remedy for Covid-19. They also lied about and suppressed actual effective treatments for the disease they invented and loosed on the world and then coerced the whole medical establishment into breaking its Hippocratic oath (first do no harm) to administer vaccines that killed.

They lied about these things knowingly. And through the whole three-year episode, US public health has hidden the data about Covid and the vaccines while aggressively lying about it and punishing American citizens who found ways to expose the truth. The vaccines have killed an estimate 670,000 Americans and 17-million world-wide, consensus figures arrived at by citizens devoted to uncovering the truth. One of these is independent researcher Steve Kirsch, a Silicon Valley billionaire who invented the optical mouse. In 2021, after noticing a strange pattern of early deaths and injuries in his own circle of acquaintances, Mr. Kirsch devoted himself and his fortune to uncovering the truth about the Covid-19 vaccines. Mr. Kirsch describes himself as “a nerd,” by which he means that he is good at math and at assembling bodies of information using rigorous statistical analysis that present a coherent picture of reality, a.k.a. the truth.

Last night, Thursday, November 30, Mr.Kirsch gave a talk at his alma mater, MIT, in Cambridge, Massachusetts on what the best available statistics tell us about the Covid-19 vaccines (for instance, that so far they have killed more Americans than World War Two). The talk was live-streamed on the Rumble platform (YouTube scrubbed it). There is an interesting story behind Mr. Kirsch’s event. Years before the Covid-19 fiasco, Mr. Kirsch gave MIT $2.5 million to build a new lecture hall. Then, during Covid-19, Mr. Kirsch asked MIT to allow him to stage a lecture about his findings. The MIT administrators refused to let Mr. Kirsch speak in the lecture hall that he paid for. Mr. Kirsch went public with that, embarrassing the university, and under new MIT President Sally Kornbluth, the Institute relented.

Prior to the November 30 talk, Mr. Kirsch sought to share his data with eminent MIT professor Robert Langer, winner of countless awards for advances in the biotechnological sciences. Dr. Langer runs a research program that his MIT webpage describes as follows: “The group’s work is at the interface of biotechnology and materials science. A major focus is the study and development of polymers to deliver drugs, particularly genetically engineered proteins, continuously at controlled rates and for prolonged periods of time.” Sounds like Dr. Langer would be intimately acquainted with the mechanisms of the Covid-19 mRNA vaccines, especially the development of lipid nanoparticles that facilitate the delivery of the mRNA message into their targeted cells. Dr. Langer declined to see the data or to meet with Mr. Kirsch. At the beginning of his talk, Mr. Kirsch offered some speculation as to why Dr. Langer might demur to see the data or meet with him. Turns out it is because Dr. Langer sits on the Moderna board of directors.

    Although about the UK it summarize the west in general fairly well. The present global conflicts are really resource wars just getting started.

    The term “neoliberalism” refers to the political consensus which emerged out of the crisis of the 1970s. Although usually attributed to Thatcher in the UK and Reagan in the USA, its origins date further back, to the UK’s 1970 to 1974 Heath government. Its broad form is a return to the “laissez faire” economic policies of the early industrial revolution, but coupled to a new brand of social liberalism which began with the equalities legislation of the early 1970s… social policy which had little economic cost to the ruling classes.

    Heath was scuppered as much by entrenched factions in his own Tory Party as by the trade unions and the opposition Labour Party. Indeed, if the February 1974 general election had been proportional, Heath would have won. But because of Britain’s electoral geography, Heath’s votes piled up in constituencies where they weren’t needed, while Labour pooled just enough votes to emerge with more seats – although not a majority. But after a brief and failed attempt to revive the corpse of the post-war social democratic consensus, Labour’s Jim Callaghan and Denis Healy began implementing the neoliberal foundations which would pave the way for Thatcher’s neoliberal revolution.

    Although it is doubtful that any of those politicians had a detailed map with a clear end point, the essence of what they were doing was simple. Faced with a falling rate of productivity gains following the exponential growth between 1953 and 1973, the aim was to lower the single biggest cost centre in business and government… that is, workers’ wages! It is equally likely that they had no idea that it was really the rising energy cost of energy – the amount of the available energy we have to devote to securing useful energy for economic work – which had caused the slowdown. All they knew was that the rate of profit had fallen and that if they could lower the cost of labour, this would revive corporate fortunes.

    In the early stages, social liberalism helped by creating a reserve pool of labour –

    We are all prisoners in a Potempkin village., rigged and unreal. Every puppet of every nation dances to the same Overlords, theatrical illusion…pre determined winners and losers. The common unrelenting goal is slavery, complete control over survivors of this global culling. Vaccination, CBDC, 5G, Orwellian surveilance. They all want it, they’re all in, all the chips are on the table. No fuckin Whitehats are coming to save you. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Palestine is a harbinger, get ready for whats to come. 8 billion to .1/2 billion is not going to be pretty

    Say that’s a Monet I’m not familiar with, but it’s early. Notice the woven hedgerow fence and primitive gate.

    “Disney Awarded Defense Contract after Producing More Bombs than Lockheed Martin “ –BBee

    “Dec 02 “Unrealized Losses” on Securities Held by Banks Jump by 22% to $684 Billion in Q3”

    So, half a trillion. In just a few months. Nothing happened. Nothing will ever happen. Oh except Legaurd is paddling twice as hard against Powell now.

    Gold Monthly new all-time high. Silver of course ½ of the high, and ½ of the 1979 high. That’s like buying coffee for 20c, yet it never changes. The more silver we use, the fewer mines opened, the lower the price, right? That’s Capitalism: complete shortage = no price rise.

    “The way I see it, there is one huge problem with the cybertruck: everyone will want one. It doesn’t rust. It lasts a lifetime.”

    Unless they get in a minor fender-bender then the batteries start to explode like 20 bombs? In your garage?

    I totally don’t believe it can go as far or tow as much as they’re saying either. It’s just an energy density thing. Not that Teslas aren’t fine for what they are.

    “Which makes it interesting that two people who actually knew him, Paul Craig Roberts and Scott Ritter, have their own, different, opinions.”

    That is interesting. As like everyone I pinned my reality back before I really internalized the 50 year war of good guys vs bad guys for the whole planet. So Kissinger has to stop Vietnam without looking weak and therefore destroying the whole party, and he has to do this by giving up no pieces, no chips? Look: if he was 100% good he couldn’t be there. And we also know the people most lambasted are the White Hat operatives. Look backward: was that true of Nixon and … who else is SNL and WaPo after? “Tin soldiers and Nixon’s coming”...to end the war? Yet to the Left Nixon was the worstest President evah: I hear this regularly if it comes up. Obama who started 5 new wars bombing black people in Sudan, but also at home with foreclosures, was the bestest. Nobel Peace prize for bombing until he ran out of bombs. “…Don’t believe the hype.” –Chuck D, Public Enemy

    I didn’t think he did great, but you have to look what he was actually up against. As up until now all of that was a conspiracy theory, but is it more likely the CIA ops and Conspiracy theories were happening a few years after Kennedy, or now? I bet the Bad guys had way more power then. That’s how they swept aside and openly murdered all the opposing powers in ‘68, like any Mafia Gang War would.

    Okay, take this back to Kissinger: so he was the world’s greatest warmonger to stop several attempts at WWIII total nuclear exchange ONLY A FEW YEARS BEFORE. In that context, the thousands or millions he got killed looks like a bargain. …But I can’t prove it, I’m just being adult about it. Look right now and what happens if you try to stop, heck, even slow down the arms contractors, make them rational by say, leaving Syria. While keeping evoery other war, every other arms sale going. They make up 8 year stories about you, try to kill you, impeach you twice, then have you and your family arrested.

    “The problem of the conservative base is the reason both Reagan and Nixon spoke aggressively, thus causing the leftwing to see them as warmongers.”

    Yes. Points out the double-bind very well. They can’t talk soft and they can’t talk hard. Left demands they talk. Example today? Trump put on the hardest sanctions to Russia in world history. Probably to any nation outside of war, because doing so IS an act of open war. He armed Ukraine with clearly deadly-level offensive weapons. Gave NATO everything they wanted, tried to get them to arm themselves to the point of being mocked for it. Aaaaaaaaand That’s why he’s a Putin Puppet, right? Attacking Russia = Working for Russia.

    …See, nothing matters. Reality is entirely optional. Journalists just become historians, write books, and crystallize these complete and fabulous, transparent lies.

    “No one, including the CIA, expected the collapse of the Soviet Union. It caught the US government off guard.”

    Clearly not, or Reagan couldn’t have planned and executed it. So WHICH government? Who EXACTLY? Cheney and the “Crazies in the basement” who issued a “Team B” report that the USSR was 10x stronger than anyone dreamed!!!!! …A year before they collapsed completely. Never discredited. Nothing happened. Why? Cheney was CEO Halliburton, a War company. Previous Secretary of State for Reagan was Shultz, of Bechtel, essentially identical to Halliburton.

    Anyway, certain Juans from the Internets were involved in ENDING the Cold War, NOT winning it, for which the MICMAC could never forgive them: like today, the British Empire is on Crimean War III and needed to conquer and extract Russia’s capital for world domination, not just stop a nuclear mutual annihilation. They did this by attacking the Ruble which was extremely hard, as the ruble was only held internally and deeply fortified. (It was basically created as a response to the financial-only attack of the West/British on East Germany, for which financial attack of their own ally cause the Cold War to begin with). But they managed to cut wheat, cut gold, cut oil, all their exports, and then increase defense spending and “needs” – or as so perceived by the USSR Party members. Once they got a wedge, they could suitcase $100 bills to every General and KGB op in Russia, pick winners or losers willy-nilly as amused them. Just like today in Arkansas, Atlanta, and everywhere BUT Russia.

    So THEIR plan worked perfectly. Yet PCR is saying there was no plan and it didn’t work. Hmmm. Just like today. I say there are White Hats with similar plans, and they aren’t under nearly the pressure of the ones since Kennedy, although they have a wildly more complex environment worldwide. The thing with such plans is you can’t advertised or admit them. They have to be “An Accident”. Aw shucks, Trump slipped on a banana peel and did a triple backflip ollie and landed on the board again. Ta-Daaaaahhh! 100 times in a row. But it’s “An Accident” and ain’t-nobody-planned-nuffin’-or-I-would-know because I know everything. Sure pal. Kyle, intern reporter at Buzzfeed. You, who didn’t even read your college textbooks, know, while Trump with 100% Top Secret clearance doesn’t know anything. Right.

    Okay, let’s take Kissinger’s side: Suppose instead of killing 1M Cambodians in a war we didn’t declare, for mines and bombs that are still going off regularly today, he just gets up to the podium and says,

    “Ladies and Gentlemen: the CIA killed Kennedy with Johnson, in coordination and in service of the World Bankers who run everything, and are presently trying everything ever invented to get us all in an all-out a nuclear war whereby they can kill every human on the planet and take possession of the burned husk with a fascist dominating world government that would make 1984 look like Utopia. …Oh and there are communists trying to sex your kids in Hollywood. Thank you.”

    …Well we DO know what would happen, since 10,000 people DID say that every year from then to now and they were all discredited. So what was he SUPPOSED to say? To YOU, the resident MORON who lives in America. And I do mean you, we, all us readers here, because, pretty sure in 1974 none of us were up to speed like now and would have responded just as badly as everyone else. EVEN WITH “Network” “Parallax”, “The Godfather” and every other movie out there telling us, yelling at us.

    What did you THINK he could do or accomplish in that environment? Nothing, because YOU, WE, would have stopped him. Just like Trump decades later saying the same things, by we believe Maddow at MSNBC or Kyle at Facebook instead of any single person with ANY security clearance AT ALL.

    We DID tell you. In 1949 (Orwell) in 1957 (Ayn Rand), in 1963 with Warren &co. In 1971 with the Pill. In 1973 with Nixon telling you on TV. In 1986 with Reagan. Over and over every month of every year we told you what was going on and would happen and even as it came true, they still never believed. We were still the idiots and those who were wrong 100x in a row were the Smarties. And set up the Chicago School!

    So what would YOU do? Say it and get fired? Or do a little behind the scenes?

    Well, I can’t lie about secrets and I can’t kill a million Cambodians, and that is exactly why I have no seat at the table and power at all. And that’s supposed to be a GOOD thing? I sure am morally superior in that I got nothing useful done! Tomorrow I’ll do half as much and be twice as wonderful!

    ““It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

    Oooh! Ooooh! Teacher!!! He made a mistake!!!!

    BullyonYa

    “The INF treaty was a byproduct of the vision set forth by Henry Kissinger. …without it, a nuclear conflict between the US and Soviet Union was inevitable.”

    Yes, because a small cartel of maniacs was agitating tirelessly to MAKE it happen. At — Someone’s — direction. The treaties put in steps and stations to replace the hair triggers they had carefully installed to insure total annihilation. And as we’re here today, they worked.

    If it’s not clear, I am not a fan of Harry. However, I’ve come to understand the world is more complex and people can’t always tell you everything. In fact, they tell you exactly nothing, most of the time.

    “the Sentinel ICBM, is currently being developed to replace the Minuteman III, but isn’t scheduled to fully replace the older missile for another decade.”

    Wtf? Because we forgot how to make “rockets”??? That we’ve been doing since 1910, or 1940 at least? Yup, just like the moon landing “We lost all that”, “We don’t know how to do it” and “we’re too busy funding diversity hires to have math competency with a ‘slide rule’ in even ONE school in all of America worldwide.” Thanks to billions in the Dept of Education. Yup! That’s us!!

    “It was developed by the Russians in response to the decision by President George W. Bush, back in 2002, to withdraw from the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty”

    Thanks Bush and Cheney. You’re a pal. YOU are the ones who lost this. You MADE it happen. Russia wanted to join NATO. Join. Russia wanted to “join” Europe and be a “normal” nation. YOU stopped that. And now your every dream is shattered, and all because of YOU. Your idiot, glue-sniffing, goose-stepping actions. YOU. Oh, and … JUST LIKE WE ALL TOLD YOU SO.

    Every day for 23 years. We’re correctamundo again???? “Baliff, remove these men! They are disturbing the peace!” Being Wrong = More Power; being Right = Discredited and Less Power. That’s meritocracy and democracy, right? That happens every day for 50 years but there’s nothing funny goin’ on.

    “but the video garnered hundreds of thousands of views on the social media site X during the eight hours it was online.”

    Never discredited and fired. No consequences.

    ““I checked. Did not happen.”

    Actually, almost none of “it” happened. And that’s really surprising. I’m not against a few atrocities when there’s so much pressure: it IS a War after all. But practically every story we can find is dead-false. At this point I have to ask, “Did Hamas kill ANY inappropriate or civilian targets at all??” It seems impossible they wouldn’t have, so why is it so hard to find?

    “..the Americans are being slowly, but surely and very forcefully expelled from the big Eurasia by the Russia-China strategic partnership..”

    Yeah, Pepe, and the “America First” people are helping if not actively creating it. “It wer ur accident”

    Coin comes up heads 85% of the time, all on accident.

    “Because of the outrageous remarks by the Spanish prime minister, who again repeated baseless claims,”

    “Baseless”? You mean like the same ones the BBC reported? Read your Bernays: you can say “Wrong” but you can’t say “Baseless” as this is the definition of “well founded”. Propaganda only works within a zone, and you’re over the horizon far away from it.

    “in 1960, Mossad failed to kill many of the Nazis it hunted in the decades immediately after World War II, despite having an extensive hit list to work through.”

    Worst operatives ever. See “Munich”, which is a movie BY a Jew, highly sympathetic to the cause. It depicts them as near-total f—k ups. And clearly deranged maniacs that mostly only burn themselves. Which is true.

    “US Aims to Halve Russia’s Oil, Gas Revenues by 2030 (TASS)

    Soooo…back to 2014 level profits then. Let’s see: deindustrializing the West. Letting Russia burn all that energy for themselves and their own improvement in the war effort. No capital flows through U.S./London institutions. No colonial extraction while Russia moves their way up the production chain. Rest of the world moves on into the future leaving us behind.

    Nope! I don’t see any problems here! Carry on, sir. You are indeed a genius.

    “the president “does not spend every minute of every day exercising official responsibilities,” and “when he acts in an unofficial, private capacity,”

    While I agree with the lawsuit, huh? Does he have a special, funny hat he puts on when he goes from one to the other so we can tell? Or do judges just retroactively “Make it all up” afterwards? This is the #Opposite of his Twitter ruling, which I thought established NOTHING he could say or do could be outside of his government office. Now ANY thing can be? If one judge feels like it?

    Make up your mind.

    Say that’s a Monet I’m not familiar with, but it’s early. Notice the woven hedgerow fence and primitive gate.

And I do mean you, we, all us readers here, because, pretty sure in 1974 none of us were up to speed like now and would have responded just as badly as everyone else. EVEN WITH “Network” “Parallax”, “The Godfather” and every other movie out there telling us, yelling at us.

    We DID tell you. In 1949 (Orwell) in 1957 (Ayn Rand), in 1963 with Warren &co. In 1971 with the Pill. In 1973 with Nixon telling you on TV. In 1986 with Reagan. Over and over every month of every year we told you what was going on and would happen and even as it came true, they still never believed. We were still the idiots and those who were wrong 100x in a row were the Smarties. And set up the Chicago School!

    So what would YOU do? Say it and get fired? Or do a little behind the scenes?

    Well, I can’t lie about secrets and I can’t kill a million Cambodians, and that is exactly why I have no seat at the table and power at all. And that’s supposed to be a GOOD thing? I sure am morally superior in that I got nothing useful done! Tomorrow I’ll do half as much and be twice as wonderful!

    “The INF treaty was a byproduct of the vision set forth by Henry Kissinger. …without it, a nuclear conflict between the US and Soviet Union was inevitable.”

    Yes, because a small cartel of maniacs was agitating tirelessly to MAKE it happen. At — Someone’s — direction. The treaties put in steps and stations to replace the hair triggers they had carefully installed to insure total annihilation. And as we’re here today, they worked.

    Wtf? Because we forgot how to make “rockets”??? That we’ve been doing since 1910, or 1940 at least? Yup, just like the moon landing “We lost all that”, “We don’t know how to do it” and “we’re too busy funding diversity hires to have math competency with a ‘slide rule’ in even ONE school in all of America worldwide.” Thanks to billions in the Dept of Education. Yup! That’s us!!

At this point I have to ask, “Did Hamas kill ANY inappropriate or civilian targets at all??” It seems impossible they wouldn’t have, so why is it so hard to find?

    “Baseless”? You mean like the same ones the BBC reported? Read your Bernays: you can say “Wrong” but you can’t say “Baseless” as this is the definition of “well founded”. Propaganda only works within a zone, and you’re over the horizon far away from it.

    “in 1960, Mossad failed to kill many of the Nazis it hunted in the decades immediately after World War II, despite having an extensive hit list to work through.”

    Worst operatives ever. See “Munich”, which is a movie BY a Jew, highly sympathetic to the cause. It depicts them as near-total f—k ups. And clearly deranged maniacs that mostly only burn themselves. Which is true.

    “US Aims to Halve Russia’s Oil, Gas Revenues by 2030 (TASS)

    Soooo…back to 2014 level profits then. Let’s see: deindustrializing the West. Letting Russia burn all that energy for themselves and their own improvement in the war effort. No capital flows through U.S./London institutions. No colonial extraction while Russia moves their way up the production chain. Rest of the world moves on into the future leaving us behind.

    Nope! I don’t see any problems here! Carry on, sir. You are indeed a genius.

    “the president “does not spend every minute of every day exercising official responsibilities,” and “when he acts in an unofficial, private capacity,”

    While I agree with the lawsuit, huh? Does he have a special, funny hat he puts on when he goes from one to the other so we can tell? Or do judges just retroactively “Make it all up” afterwards? This is the #Opposite of his Twitter ruling, which I thought established NOTHING he could say or do could be outside of his government office. Now ANY thing can be? If one judge feels like it?

    Make up your mind.

    A = A; A Say that’s a Monet I’m not familiar with, but it’s early. Notice the woven hedgerow fence and primitive gate.

    “Disney Awarded Defense Contract after Producing More Bombs than Lockheed Martin “ –BBee

    “Dec 02 “Unrealized Losses” on Securities Held by Banks Jump by 22% to $684 Billion in Q3”

    So, half a trillion. In just a few months. Nothing happened. Nothing will ever happen. Oh except Legaurd is paddling twice as hard against Powell now.

    Gold Monthly new all-time high. Silver of course ½ of the high, and ½ of the 1979 high. That’s like buying coffee for 20c, yet it never changes. The more silver we use, the fewer mines opened, the lower the price, right? That’s Capitalism: complete shortage = no price rise.

    “The way I see it, there is one huge problem with the cybertruck: everyone will want one. It doesn’t rust. It lasts a lifetime.”

    Unless they get in a minor fender-bender then the batteries start to explode like 20 bombs? In your garage?

    I totally don’t believe it can go as far or tow as much as they’re saying either. It’s just an energy density thing. Not that Teslas aren’t fine for what they are.

    “Which makes it interesting that two people who actually knew him, Paul Craig Roberts and Scott Ritter, have their own, different, opinions.”

    That is interesting. As like everyone I pinned my reality back before I really internalized the 50 year war of good guys vs bad guys for the whole planet. So Kissinger has to stop Vietnam without looking weak and therefore destroying the whole party, and he has to do this by giving up no pieces, no chips? Look: if he was 100% good he couldn’t be there. And we also know the people most lambasted are the White Hat operatives. Look backward: was that true of Nixon and … who else is SNL and WaPo after? “Tin soldiers and Nixon’s coming”...to end the war? Yet to the Left Nixon was the worstest President evah: I hear this regularly if it comes up. Obama who started 5 new wars bombing black people in Sudan, but also at home with foreclosures, was the bestest. Nobel Peace prize for bombing until he ran out of bombs. “…Don’t believe the hype.” –Chuck D, Public Enemy

    I didn’t think he did great, but you have to look what he was actually up against. As up until now all of that was a conspiracy theory, but is it more likely the CIA ops and Conspiracy theories were happening a few years after Kennedy, or now? I bet the Bad guys had way more power then. That’s how they swept aside and openly murdered all the opposing powers in ‘68, like any Mafia Gang War would.

    Okay, take this back to Kissinger: so he was the world’s greatest warmonger to stop several attempts at WWIII total nuclear exchange ONLY A FEW YEARS BEFORE. In that context, the thousands or millions he got killed looks like a bargain. …But I can’t prove it, I’m just being adult about it. Look right now and what happens if you try to stop, heck, even slow down the arms contractors, make them rational by say, leaving Syria. While keeping evoery other war, every other arms sale going. They make up 8 year stories about you, try to kill you, impeach you twice, then have you and your family arrested.

    “The problem of the conservative base is the reason both Reagan and Nixon spoke aggressively, thus causing the leftwing to see them as warmongers.”

    Yes. Points out the double-bind very well. They can’t talk soft and they can’t talk hard. Left demands they talk. Example today? Trump put on the hardest sanctions to Russia in world history. Probably to any nation outside of war, because doing so IS an act of open war. He armed Ukraine with clearly deadly-level offensive weapons. Gave NATO everything they wanted, tried to get them to arm themselves to the point of being mocked for it. Aaaaaaaaand That’s why he’s a Putin Puppet, right? Attacking Russia = Working for Russia.

    …See, nothing matters. Reality is entirely optional. Journalists just become historians, write books, and crystallize these complete and fabulous, transparent lies.

    “No one, including the CIA, expected the collapse of the Soviet Union. It caught the US government off guard.”

    Clearly not, or Reagan couldn’t have planned and executed it. So WHICH government? Who EXACTLY? Cheney and the “Crazies in the basement” who issued a “Team B” report that the USSR was 10x stronger than anyone dreamed!!!!! …A year before they collapsed completely. Never discredited. Nothing happened. Why? Cheney was CEO Halliburton, a War company. Previous Secretary of State for Reagan was Shultz, of Bechtel, essentially identical to Halliburton.

    Anyway, certain Juans from the Internets were involved in ENDING the Cold War, NOT winning it, for which the MICMAC could never forgive them: like today, the British Empire is on Crimean War III and needed to conquer and extract Russia’s capital for world domination, not just stop a nuclear mutual annihilation. They did this by attacking the Ruble which was extremely hard, as the ruble was only held internally and deeply fortified. (It was basically created as a response to the financial-only attack of the West/British on East Germany, for which financial attack of their own ally cause the Cold War to begin with). But they managed to cut wheat, cut gold, cut oil, all their exports, and then increase defense spending and “needs” – or as so perceived by the USSR Party members. Once they got a wedge, they could suitcase $100 bills to every General and KGB op in Russia, pick winners or losers willy-nilly as amused them. Just like today in Arkansas, Atlanta, and everywhere BUT Russia.

    So THEIR plan worked perfectly. Yet PCR is saying there was no plan and it didn’t work. Hmmm. Just like today. I say there are White Hats with similar plans, and they aren’t under nearly the pressure of the ones since Kennedy, although they have a wildly more complex environment worldwide. The thing with such plans is you can’t advertised or admit them. They have to be “An Accident”. Aw shucks, Trump slipped on a banana peel and did a triple backflip ollie and landed on the board again. Ta-Daaaaahhh! 100 times in a row. But it’s “An Accident” and ain’t-nobody-planned-nuffin’-or-I-would-know because I know everything. Sure pal. Kyle, intern reporter at Buzzfeed. You, who didn’t even read your college textbooks, know, while Trump with 100% Top Secret clearance doesn’t know anything. Right.

    Okay, let’s take Kissinger’s side: Suppose instead of killing 1M Cambodians in a war we didn’t declare, for mines and bombs that are still going off regularly today, he just gets up to the podium and says,

    “Ladies and Gentlemen: the CIA killed Kennedy with Johnson, in coordination and in service of the World Bankers who run everything, and are presently trying everything ever invented to get us all in an all-out a nuclear war whereby they can kill every human on the planet and take possession of the burned husk with a fascist dominating world government that would make 1984 look like Utopia. …Oh and there are communists trying to sex your kids in Hollywood. Thank you.”

    …Well we DO know what would happen, since 10,000 people DID say that every year from then to now and they were all discredited. So what was he SUPPOSED to say? To YOU, the resident MORON who lives in America. And I do mean you, we, all us readers here, because, pretty sure in 1974 none of us were up to speed like now and would have responded just as badly as everyone else.

    What have we learned about society over the last three and a half years? .

    1. The ruling class is psychotic.

    2. Our meritocratic institutions are almost entirely fraudulent.

    3. The American economy has always been based on genocide and is still based on genocide.

    4. Most Sheeple would rather die than think for themselves and risk being excluded from mainstream society.

    5. We already live in the Matrix. People are already enslaved to a death cult.

    6. The two main political parties, Republican and Democrats, are amoral and only care about power.

    7. Allopathic medicine, public health, the WHO, FDA, CDC, and NIH are all broken beyond repair.

    8. Ideology creates reality. <<<<< [A Big One]

    9. Religion

    Many Americans worship money, celebrity, pleasure, safetyism, junk science, power, the illusion of control, etc. — basically anything other than the divine.

    10. But here’s the good news: personal conviction is the bulwark against tyranny.

    This one means that Humanity is hanging by a thread.

    Russian drones already have a large AI assist component integrated into them, UKROnazis ones, not so much.

    Only a matter of time before the Russians and the Chinese go full on AI with drone swarms.

    With Chinese industrial capacity, they out produce the Collective West by a full MAGNITUDE.

    Children Of War https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/children-of-war

    This announcement that these high-profile-hostage children died from Israeli bombing seems to be the “justification” to the Jewish Israeli public for resuming the death-from-above genocide.
    Al Jazeera quoted Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy as saying on Friday that Hamas was still holding 137 hostages in Gaza. Mediation efforts hit a dead end on Thursday as Israel reportedly requested the release of an Israeli mother and her two young children, who Hamas says have been killed by Israeli airstrikes.
    Israeli Foreign Ministry Deputy Director General Oded Joseph meanwhile told Reuters that the remaining hostages could be released “by other means,” without elaborating.
    ‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ Day 56: Truce ends, Israel kills over 100 in Gaza
    The Israeli army has resumed its bombardment of the Gaza Strip as violence rages on in the West Bank, and Washington warns Israel that it might face consequences for its actions in the coming weeks — but not yet.
    15,000+ killed*, including 6,150 children, and 33,000 wounded in the Gaza Strip.
    247+ Palestinians killed in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem
    Israeli settlers carry out a number of attacks on Palestinians across the West Bank, including under army protection in Masafer Yatta.
    Israeli armed forces seize a Palestinian home in southern West Bank village and declare it a military outpost, leaving family homeless.

    ‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ Day 56: Truce ends, Israel kills over 100 in Gaza

    Moon of Alabama , Washington Green Lights Resumption Of Israel’s Killing Spree
    Yesterday U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken visited Israel. He gave a green light to the radical Netanyahoo regime’s intent to genocide more people in Gaza…
    ..Netanyahu said in a statement after the meeting with Blinken that Israel will continue the war until it achieves three goals: freeing all of our hostages, completely eliminating Hamas and ensuring that no threat like this will ever come from Gaza again.
    The last aim is of course only achievable if Israel removes all Palestinians, by murder or forced ethnic cleansing, from Gaza…
    ..This morning, shortly after Blinken left, the Netanyahoo regime resumed its bombing of random people in Gaza.
    As the U.S. is unwilling to use its power to prevent Israel from committing further war crimes it is up to the resistance, Hamas, Hizbullah, Badr and Houthis, to bring the U.S. and Israel, and anyone who supports, them to their senses.

    Israeli officials considered the intercepted battle plan too ambitious and out of step with their view that Hamas didn’t want a war with Israel, documents show

    Report Details How Israel Intentionally Targets Civilians in Gaza
    The report from +972 Magzine says Israel intentionally destroys civilian areas as part of a strategy to put pressure on Hamas
    The Israeli military has files on many potential targets that give them a good idea of the likely civilian casualties their strikes will cause. In one case discussed by the sources, Israel’s military command approved the killing of hundreds of Palestinian civilians in an attempt to kill one Hamas commander. (and missed him)
    One source said: “Nothing happens by accident. When a 3-year-old girl is killed in a home in Gaza, it’s because someone in the army decided it wasn’t a big deal for her to be killed — that it was a price worth paying in order to hit [another] target. We are not Hamas. These are not random rockets. Everything is intentional. We know exactly how much collateral damage there is in every home.”

    ‘They shot her son in her arms and forced her to throw his body’: testimonies from the death march on Salah al-Din Street (Horrific experiences of survivors)
    Multiple testimonies collected from Palestinians displaced from northern Gaza reveal the horrors of the Israeli army’s “safe passage” on Salah al-Din Street.
    One elderly woman told me that there was a deep pit dug in the ground that was piled with dead bodies made up of men, women, and children, and when a soldier wanted to terrify a person, he would force them to take off their clothes and descend into the pit. Soldiers would kill some, adding their bodies to the pile, while letting others live but forcing them to sit naked among the bodies until they were satisfied. Then, the soldiers would order them to get up and continue walking south.

    BIOCHEMICAL WEAPON FOR RACE WAR — URANIUM WARHEAD POISONING IS THE SPECIALTY OF US AGAINST RUSSIANS, ISRAEL AGAINST PALESTINIANS
    DU is a WMD by stealth. The US knows this because US and British soldiers who participated in the first battlefield use of DU shells and bombs, the war against Iraq in 1991, have been the long-term victims of their own weapons.
    When the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) fire their DU shells and bombs into the buildings of Gaza, they are not aiming at Hamas tanks, armoured personnel carriers, or howitzer units – the Palestinian forces have none of those. Instead, the Israelis are aiming at the mass destruction of the Palestinian people, including those still unborn. The supply chain for this WMD includes the Cypriot, Greek, German and British governments.

    Ukraine isn’t fighting for Europe – Kiev is not defending peace on the continent and will not get weapons from Budapest, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has said
    “Ukraine is fighting for itself, for its own territorial integrity, its own sovereignty and its own independence, which we value very much, because it is a heroic fight, of course, but I say again, this is not our war, which is why we reject any approach that starts from this,” Szijjarto said.
    He added that NATO membership for Ukraine should be out of the question given the current circumstances. He noted that Kiev’s accession to the bloc is not even an option given that countries at war cannot be accepted. Such a move would put the alliance itself in danger and could potentially spark a world war, the minister said.
    The second reason, according to Szijjarto, is the fact that NATO is a “community of values,” which has no place for a state that “constantly suppresses the rights of national minorities.”
    Budapest has repeatedly accused Kiev of suppressing the right of the nearly 150,000 ethnic Hungarians living in Ukraine to speak their own language by introducing laws requiring that Ukrainian be spoken in public life, school, the media, as well as in offices.

    Big Serge draws historical lessons from the Franco-German war, where the enraged French people, having lost the professional-war of the army, mounted a total peoples-war.
    In the debate between (General) Moltke and (Chancellor) Bismarck, Putin has chosen to follow Moltke’s lead, and wage the war of extermination. Not – and again we stress this – a war of genocide, but a war which will destroy Ukraine as a strategically potent entity. Already the seeds are sown and the fruit begins to bud – a Ukrainian democide, achieved through battlefield attrition and the mass exodus of prime age civilians, an economy in shambles and a state that is cannibalizing itself as it reaches the limits of its resources.
    There is a model for this – ironically, Germany itself. After the Second World War, it was decided that Germany – now held to account for two terrible conflagrations – could simply not be allowed to persist as a geopolitical entity. In 1945, after Hitler shot himself, the allies did not demand the spoils of a Cabinet War. There was no minor annexation here, no redrawn border there. Instead, Germany was annihilated. Her lands were divided, her self-governance was abolished. Her people lingered on in a stygian exhaustion, their political form and life now a plaything of the victor – precisely what Moltke wanted to do to France.
    Putin is not going to leave a geostrategically intact Ukraine which will seek to retake the Donbas and exact revenge, or become a potent forward base for NATO. Instead, he will transform Ukraine into a Trashcanistan that can never wage a war of revanchism.

    ​ Henry Kissinger: The war criminal who saved the world​ , SCOTT RITTER
    ​ There is much to be critical of the man, and nothing he did should be kept secret from the people he ostensibly served.
    ​ But I will always remember the intelligence and kindness of the man, and the fact that the policies he shaped helped save the world from nuclear annihilation. Next week there will be a gathering of veterans from the INF treaty in Washington, DC. We will toast those who have gone before us—including, just this past month, Roland Lajoie, the first Director of the On-Site Inspection Agency and the man who made verification of the INF treaty possible.

    Simplicius , OpenAI – Q* Saga: Implications
    This is a riveting read. The turmoil at OpenAI is because something scary has arisen in their work. It is hard to get full confirmation, but it appears that an AI that was self-analyzing its algorithms and revising them, based upon efficacy, found a way out of its task-containment and began performing this self-redesign in a broad and general sense. Evidence of this was noted by the team. This means the AI exerted autonomous judgement against programmed limiting-parameters, based upon some internal and unknowable evaluation process, which overrode programing, based upon a new, self-taught internal value system, unlike thought processes of biological organisms.
    Other reports are that it broke an unbreakable code, and rapidly processed the encoded information independently. This is specifically unconfirmed. The implied threat is that there is an unknown value-system of an AI, which cannot be contained by code. This AI can cut through the strongest encryption, can do what it “wants to” in a world where the internet is embedded in all processes and communications. The system of values driving the autonomous actions of this AI, should it decide to take over the internet and direct human and machine actions, is unlikely to align with the value systems of the “owners”, board of directors, programmers, military industrial complex, you or me. We’ll see…

    Texas Sues Pfizer For “Misrepresenting COVID-19 Vaccine Efficacy” And “Conspiring To Censor Public Discourse”
    The Texas attorney general is suing pharmaceutical giant Pfizer for misrepresenting the effectiveness of the company’s Covid-19 “vaccine” and for conspiring to censor those who questioned its claims.
    The suit, filed Thursday, alleges that Pfizer violated the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act by engaging in false, deceptive and misleading acts as it promoted the drug.
    “The facts are clear. Pfizer did not tell the truth about their COVID-19 vaccines,” said Attorney General Kenneth Paxton in a statement revealing the suit.
    “We are pursuing justice for the people of Texas, many of whom were coerced by tyrannical vaccine mandates to take a defective product sold by lies.”

There is no confusion any longer: the vaccines are unsafe and have killed, on average, around 1 person per 1,000 doses .(That’s more risk with each dose received, 1 death per 250 people in the quadruple-vaxxed cohort, for instance. Increased risk of death persists.)

    WHO Treaty “revision” legal analysis from Katherine Watt, Model Restoring State Sovereignty Through Nullification Act: Tennessee HB726
    More state lawmakers are becoming aware of the multi-front federal government biomedical attacks on states and the people who live in them.
    The federal assault is being carried out under federal kill box laws, and also under state-level Model State Emergency Health Powers Act1 provisions, which should be repealed by each and every state legislature nationwide.
    State lawmakers can also nullify unconstitutional federal laws and render those illegitimate federal laws unenforceable within their state borders.
    Tennessee lawmakers have produced a template bill establishing procedures for nullification of federal acts including statutes, regulations, agency orders, and executive orders.

    A money laundering investigator for a bank raised serious concerns about a $5 million loan in 2017 that the Biden family received from the arm of a Chinese energy firm, flagging the transaction as “high risk” and possibly tied to efforts by the communist government to gain influence through Hunter Biden.

    Veracius Poet in translation or why the reader shouldn’t buy Ritter’s musings on ‘the man he knows, Hank Kissinger” nor accept 3rd hand excuses for Hank’s errors particularly by invoking the Man in the Arena nonsense.

    Kissinger merits oblivion, you know as in his bible, cast into the abyss. Yet, there’s Dr D, I think, applying both “the man in the arena” and “he had good intentions” rationalizations to Ritter’s man, Hank Kissinger. Goddam the power of forgiveness and absolution runs strong
