    “Beheaded During BLM Riots, Washington Monument At GWU Vandalized By Pro-Palestinian Protesters

    Yeah, I remember Washington oppressing the Palestinians….240 years ago.

    So GWU attacks…themselves? “I’ll show us what for!!!” “I’m going to destroy where I live, that’ll show ‘em!” Boy, what idiots.

    “US Strike Eliminates Senior Al-Qaeda-Linked Terrorist Leader In Syria

    So we’re bombing…ourselves? They must be from GWU. Now the CIA is going to have to create another Al-Qaeda leader that the CIA can bomb. Oroboros, so to speak.

    ZH is sleeping today, so Israel launched 100 “Pre-emptive strikes” against Lebanon — WSJ.

    What’s “Pre-emptive”? Well, the weapons existed in their country. Next door. Legal premise: weapons exist to be used, therefore, we were bombed first!

    Conclusion: if anyone on earth has unused bombs, we must bomb them. That’s just common sense.

    Naturally BOMBING someone, leads to them BOMBING someone. Hezbollah therefore bombed them right back. Because: the best way to be safe is to start a bombing which will cause a bombing. War is always safer than Peace, that’s the definition of “Peace” right? That it’s more dangerous than war?

    Anyway, all sarcasm and nonsense aside, obviously Hezbollah WOULD bomb Israel, if Israel hadn’t bombed them first. …And in fact they did – a little. Sent up and handful of rockets to let them know they’re still there. So where does it end, fellows? What’s the plan?

    The Plan is more war. War is the goal and the end state. They’re just telling you they have other plans so you’ll go along.

    “RFK Nukes Democrats from Orbit” “This changes everything.”

    No. They didn’t notice. Nothing changed. Except you’ve been saying this for years and decades and not noticing. “Sick Burn, Kyle!” Yeah, now only if Chelsea knew you said it or knew who you are at all… “Nuked from Orbit” is the #Opposite of “We didn’t even notice.”

    I don’t get the RFK-Trump merger. I mean, as a Election-planner staging event, sure. But not as a real thing. I’m not excited about it and sure it’s fine he can get a cabinet seat or something, that’d do good work, but so? Is he bringing any Democrats, or Tulsi either?

    What makes you think there’s going to be an election? Or with any of these candidates? The DNC doesn’t trust Kamala, so they need to kill her and blame it on MAGA. Oh they wouldn’t? The way they wouldn’t assassinate a presidential candidate and just walk around like it never happened? So after they kill Kamala, they’ll take out Trump’s plane like Vance’s.

    “Since Kamala refuses to outline her policy positions, Trump went ahead and outlined her policy positions for her online. He is defining her because she won’t define herself.”

    Ouch. As if any of this matters though, since the voting system hasn’t changed.

    “he might be able to not only hold onto his slim lead, but to expand it beyond the margin of cheat.”

    Both barrels there: “Slim lead?” Thanks for helping. “Margin of cheat”? We just had a candidate too senile to come out, campaign from his basement after NOT winning the primary, rating 3% AMONG DEMOCRATS. Then won more votes than registered voters, most popular Great Leader in the history of the universe. So that level of cheat is…I dunno, 40 Million fake votes? With another 15M imported in the last 4 years?

    “About 18% of American teens now have fatty liver disease, that’s like one out of every five – that disease when I was a kid only affected late stage alcoholics who were elderly. Cancer rates are skyrocketing in the Young and the old young. Adult cancers are up 70 79%. One in four American women is on anti-depressant medication. About 40% of teens have a mental health diagnosis and 15% of high schoolers are on Aderall, and half a million children on SSRIs. So what’s causing this”?

    That’s barely scratching the surface. And it’s intentional. But it’s also real so it bounces right off. Brain does not engage with any of this talk. Why? If you can’t even get a guy involved to stop shooting the President on National TV, what’re the odds we’re going to get traction for all my effort and attention placed on this? That’s right: zero, so my attention wanders off, having been screwed about 500,000 times before now. Arrest ANYONE. ANYWHERE. In this case, maybe Monsanto for about 5 Million intentional deaths. Then I’ll waste my time applying myself to this problem of unlisted food additives. …Which ARE killing people, btw. And they DO know it, that’s WHY they’re there.

    “Golly, why are Americans so fat?” Gee I dunno, because we have a murdering psychopathic narcissist living in my house ALSO poisoning all my food when I’m not looking? We can only do so much in a single day, you know.

    “Biden is not interested in peace,” Rasmussen said.

    No, he’s interested in pudding and diapers. What do you mean by “Biden”? What do you mean by “Neocons”? You mean the government has no one in control and is just wandering around doing anything it likes, including starting WWIII? Yes, that is exactly what they mean. Why can’t you just say so? Because then by your on measures you’d have to DO something about it? “This is a job…for somebody else!” The SEP, the “Somebody Else’s Problem” Field, the most powerful invisibility known to man.

    “• US In Agony Over Ineffectiveness of Sanctions – Moscow (RT)

    Oh no, you misunderstand. They’ve been highly effective. …At ending the United States and the US Dollar. We have surely gone over the horizon on that, but as Easterners, they’re not in a hurry. It’s enough to set the stage and let the contracts drop off one by one and be replaced.
    We’re nowhere near as bad as Europe, who is clearly and immediately building a Berlin Wall and Iron Curtain of no free speech, no free humans anywhere in the 400M man walking death zone. We think that isn’t possible – this is “Europe” after all – but they thought the same thing in Russia, 1918, Germany, Italy, and many other places. You’re not special and the laws of reality don’t bend for you. If you choose these actions, you get these results.

    Install the Reichstag fire laws here and what regime do you get?

    “• US Announces New Sanctions On Russia (RT)

    But they already did the Steven Seagal sanctions. How can they possibly go up from there? I guess that means people are still dumb enough to trade with us, or use the US dollar. Hey, anyone remember the Smoot-Hawley tariffs and how everyone says they’re so bad? Cut off trade, caused the Great Depression? It different when we do it, it’s different this time.

    ““I think people are ultimately going to feel like they’re being gaslit,” said Nixon, claiming voters are more likely to be concerned with inflation and the cost of living.”

    Why would it matter when Kamala can get 800 Million votes? Why not a billion? No court will hear it, so who cares?

    “• US Hesitant Over Kursk Incursion Aid – WaPo (RT)

    So hesitant we immediately gave them more HIMARs. Just like to Israel. No. Don’t. Stop.

    “Kiev has said it intends to establish a “buffer zone” on Russian soil and has touted the land it occupies as a potential bargaining chip for future peace talks”

    Like I said yesterday, since they are quite literally insane, taken all leave of reality, there is zero chance they can hold this land for any amount of time, much less through a Peace negotiation. Russia is 10x their size and will be OVERJOYED at the opportunity to hunt down, torture, and kill every man who ever crossed into Russia. It will be considered an imperative, heroism, a patriotic duty. If it took 12 years they would still do this first and have the peace talks after. There is ZERO chance Ukraine could hold anything. In fact, if all NATO were there, including 20 Million French, they would still do the same, and there’s only 10k men, tops.

    Let me put it this way: Modern equivalent to Russian history shows that they would draw 20M NATO troops into Kursk…THEN NUKE IT. What’s the difference between that and burning every barn and field just before winter in 1812?

    But they’re going to fight a group of countries that aren’t able to stand the psychic loss of 1,000 men.

    “• SpaceX To Rescue Stranded Astronauts After NASA Dumps Boeing (ZH)

    It took NASA what? 3 Months to make ONE committee decision? While sitting with imported lattes and pumpkin spice muffins?

    No one can bother with, you know, facts and evidence, details! So WHY are they blowing up this tanker? Is it Israeli? And WHY is the tanker here? Did they think they were protected? If so by whom and why? Nope, no interest. Brown People do violent Brown People stuff. Like the Apache on the plains, they have no agency or plans, that’s just who they are. We don’t even think to ask, it’s like the weather.

    Soo…anyone? Are the Anglo-Zions still crazy enough to drive tankers right through and why? Pretty sure our Carriers turned tail and ran away so there’s no cover right now.

    Telegram and Substack have much higher levels of free speech than x or any other platform. They are small so it matters. They are now coming for dissident networks.

    Klaus Schwaab said that ‘they’ have penetrated the cabinets worldwide now so I think the main reason Kamala doesn’t hear the people is because the voting public she listens to is not the American people. If the Oligarchs and overlords want rainbows and gaza – presto. If they want sterilisation of the pop – you got it. Perhaps they want to inject everyone with what appears to be a variety of differing batches of a counter measure (oh shit that was Trump 🙂 –
    We are on our own and as we have been saying in Permculture for 50 years and the Amish for longer – work local and ignore them as much as is possible.
    Certainly don’t fear them – they love that.

    Brett Weinstien and most everyone else was raised conforming to the system so they want it to work but what if you never particularly wanted bank loans and fishing permits and forest clearing for housing estates?

    • RFK Jr. Takes a Flame Thrower to the Entire System

    Like I said before, no such thing as a perfect candidate that checks all the boxes.

    Half a loaf is political reality.

    Political Purists are like little children who threaten to stomp their feet and hold their breath forever if the candidate isn’t perfect on all positions.

    Yawn. Not again. You would vote for the person who promises to decrease your taxes but also promises the community to put you in jail and murder your children? But you like decreased taxes, so you are a child for not voting for this person? Then you will moan like a leftist wanker forever because your family was murdered. Sure, maturity my ass. Leftist are scum, you all want someone to do it for you.

    Oroboros is a troll bot, his posts are not consistently either left or right, they are muddled but trying to get you to vote; because voting has made so much difference in the past.

    The arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov in France is a warning to online platforms that stand up to censorship, American journalist and political commentator Tucker Carlson has said.

    The Russian tech entrepreneur was detained at Paris-Le Bourget Airport on Saturday and will appear in court on Sunday evening. French authorities had reportedly issued an arrest warrant against him, arguing that insufficient moderation allows for Telegram to be widely used by criminals.

    The news of Durov’s apparent prosecution has raised concerns online, including suggestions that it could be politically motivated.

    Words Not Spoken https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/words-not-spoken

    Long speech I read it carefully. The words “Israel”, “Palestine” and “genocide” did not appear. I picked this out: Why I am suspending my campaign for President
    So what’s causing all this suffering? I’ll name two culprits. First is ultra-processed foods. About 70% of American children’s diet is ultra-processed — industrially manufactured in a factory. These foods consist primarily of processed sugar, ultra-processed grains, and seed oils. Lab scientists concoct thousands of other ingredients to make these foods more palatable, more addictive. These ingredients didn’t exist 100 years ago, and humans aren’t biologically adapted to eat them. Hundreds of these chemicals are banned in Europe, but ubiquitous in America’s processed foods.
    ​ The second culprit is toxic chemicals in our food, medicine, and environment. Pesticides, food additives, pharmaceutical drugs, and toxic waste permeate every cell of our bodies. The assault on a child’s cells and hormones is unrelenting. To name just one problem, many of these chemicals increase estrogen. Because young children are ingesting hormone disruptors, the average girl in America is reaching puberty at age 10 to 13 — six years earlier than girls were in 1900. Our country has the earliest puberty rates on any continent. And no, this isn’t because of “better nutrition.” This is not normal. Breast cancer, an estrogen-driven cancer, now strikes one in eight women.
    ​ Considering the grievous human cost of this tragic epidemic of chronic disease, it seems almost crass to mention the damage it does to our economy. But I’ll say, it is crippling our nation’s finances. When my uncle was President, our country spent zero dollars on chronic disease. Today, government healthcare spending is mostly for chronic disease, and it is double the military budget. And chronic disease costs the economy as a whole at least $4 trillion. Probably more when you consider the indirect costs. That’s a 20% drag on everything we could aspire to. And it is the fastest-growing cost.
    ​ Poor and minority communities suffer disproportionately. Industry lobbyists make sure that most of the food stamp and school lunch program dollars are funding processed foods. We are systematically mass-poisoning America’s poorest citizens.
    ​ The same food industry lobbied to make sure that nearly all agricultural subsidies go to the commodity crops that are the feedstock of the processed food industry. The policies are destroying small farms and our soils.
    ​ The good news is that we can change all of this, and change it quickly. America can get healthy again. To do that we need to do three things. First, root out the corruption in our health agencies. Second, change the incentives of the healthcare system. And third, inspire Americans to get healthy again.
    ​ Eighty percent of NIH grants go to people who have conflicts of interest. These agencies, the FDA, the USDA, the CDC, all of them are controlled by huge for-profit corporations. 75% of the FDA’s funding doesn’t come from taxpayers. It comes from pharma. And pharma executives and consultants and lobbyists cycle in and out of these agencies.
    ​ With President Trump’s backing, I am going to change that. We are going to staff these agencies with honest scientists and doctors free from industry funding. We will make sure that the decisions of consumers, doctors, and patients are informed by unbiased science.​ https://robertfkennedyjr.substack.com/p/why-i-am-suspending-my-campaign-for

    ​ Trump went on to warn those in attendance that if Harris wins the presidential vote, energy costs would triple and quadruple, and the U.S. “won’t be producing a drop of oil.” He also accused the Biden administration of a “regulatory jihad to shut down power plants.”
    ​ The Biden administration indeed has a very different energy policies agenda than Trump and Harris has indicated she would stay in the transition lane if she enters the White House as president.
    ​ Trump, on the other hand, has remained a staunch supporter of what he calls U.S. energy dominance, encouraging as much oil and gas production as possible to turn the country into a self-sufficient one in terms of energy and extend its international influence through energy exports.
    ​ Last month, in an interview with Bloomberg, Trump said that if he wins he would boost U.S. oil production, calling the commodity liquid gold.
    ​ “We have more liquid gold than anybody,” Trump told the publication, adding “We need energy at low prices. The advantage we have all over almost every country including the very large ones is that we have more energy than anybody. We have more of the real energy, the energy that works,” the former president vying for another term in office said.
    ​ “Wind does not work. It’s too expensive,” said Trump, claiming that solar and wind farms are neither too good for the environment, nor too suitable to provide energy at low costs and prices.​ https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Trump-Vows-to-Slash-Energy-Costs-by-Half-if-Elected.html

    ​ Pavel Durov, the billionaire co-founder and CEO of messaging app Telegram was arrested at the Bourget airport outside of Paris Saturday evening, according to TF1 TV, citing an unnamed source.
    ​ According to the report, Durov, 39, was traveling aboard his private jet after arriving from Azerbaijan, which triggered a French search warrant issued by the OFMIN of the French judicial police due to his inclusion in a wanted persons file (FPR).
    ​ Telegram offers end-to-end encrypted messaging – and allows users to set up “channels” to disseminate information quickly to followers.”He made a blunder this evening. We don’t know why … Was this flight just a stopover? In any case, he’s in custody!” a source close to the investigation told the news outlet (translated by Google).
    ​ Durav was detained by the National Anti-Fraud Office (ONAF), over the alleged facilitation of various crimes including terrorism, narcotics trafficking, and fraud.
    “On his platform, he allowed an incalculable number of offences and crimes to be committed, for which he did nothing to moderate or cooperate,” a source told TF1 TV.
    ​ The arrest was characterized by Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom as part of the “crackdown against free speech.”​ https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/billionaire-telegram-ceo-pavel-durov-arrested-france

    ​ Kirby Yet Again Cites ‘Progress’ On Gaza Talks With CIA’s Burns In Cairo
    ​ On Friday the White House also confirmed that CIA chief William Burns has once again been dispatched, and is taking part in Cairo talks, alongside Israeli intelligence director David Barnea.
    ​ But despite the typical optimism and the many prior instances of such rosy statements, and in the end statements which tend to prove meaningless (often resulting in brief oil sell-offs notwithstanding), the reality on the ground is that the warring sides do not appear closer to any peace agreement.
    ​ As we detailed Thursday, Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) have confirmed they will reject any agreement that does not include an Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.​ “The position of the resistance and the Palestinian people on achieving any agreement is a comprehensive cessation of aggression, a complete withdrawal from the Strip, the start of reconstruction, and the end of the siege with a serious exchange deal,” the joint statement said.​ https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/kirby-yet-again-cites-progress-gaza-talks-cias-burns-cairo

    ​ Israel’s military launched air raids across southern Lebanon and Hezbollah carried out a large drone and rocket attack.
    The escalation came as the Reuters news agency reported no sign of progress in mediated talks for a ceasefire in Gaza. Citing a Palestinian official, it said a Hamas delegation that was in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, has departed the city.

    The US Government’s Conflicts-of-Interest are Exemplified in Its Treatment of the Haredi Military Unit, Netzu Yehuda
    ​ Look in your search engine for the Israel army unit entitled, Netzu Yehuda. Many points of division and contention meet in Israel’s and the USA’s relations with Netzu Yehuda. This convergence helps explain the larger phenomenon that has put the US government in a massive conflict of interest as it tries to be both mediator and belligerent in its partnership with Israel.
    ​ Netzu Yehuda is the main Haredi fighting unit in the Armed Forces of Israel.​..
    ..This religious unit has a reputation for being especially vicious in attacking and torturing Palestinians. Its seems strange that the only religious unit in an Army would be among its most aggressive predators.

    ​ Israel settler violence in West Bank has caused ‘largest forcible transfer’ of Palestinians since 7 October – rights group
    ​ Allegra Pacheco, chief of party of the NRC-led West Bank Protection Consortium, reiterated that the group calls for the international community – including the United States and European Union – “to intervene with the Israeli authorities and protect these vulnerable communities.”
    ​ As the “occupying power” which has a responsibility for the safety of the occupied population, Israel is directly responsible “for the actions of violent settlers” who are under Israeli military protection, said Pacheco.
    ​ According to the NRC, “Palestinians are being forced to leave their land in what clearly constitutes a grave breach of international humanitarian law”. The rights group further stated that it “urges the international community to push Israel to prohibit Israeli settlers from entering Palestinian residential, agricultural and grazing areas. Military orders must close down all settler outposts, illegal under Israeli law, from where violence is planned and perpetrated.”​ https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240822-israel-settler-violence-in-west-bank-has-caused-largest-forcible-transfer-of-palestinians-since-7-october-rights-group/

    ​ Israel cramming 1.7m Palestinians into 10% of Gaza
    ​ Israel is “deliberately strangling 1.7 million Palestinian civilians” by cramming them into a narrow area of land which is no larger than one tenth of the Gaza Strip’s overall area, the Government Media Office (GMO) warned yesterday according to the Palestinian Information Centre.
    ​ “The Israeli occupation army is deliberately strangling 1.7 million Palestinian civilians, cramming them into a narrow area that does not exceed one tenth of the total area of the Gaza Strip,” the GMO said, adding that this is part of the occupation’s crime of forced displacement Palestinian civilians.
    ​ “The IOF [occupation] pushed the displaced Gazans to forcibly move and leave their homes and residential areas under the threat of gunfire, bombing and internationally prohibited weapons, which is a crime against humanity,” the GMO said.​ https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240822-israel-cramming-1-7m-palestinians-into-10-of-gaza/

    ​ According to the report, trust in the Israeli military has significantly decreased, with 55% of respondents expressing low confidence in its leadership.
    ​ Meanwhile, the popularity of the Israeli government continues to decline, with the survey indicating that 73% of Israelis don’t trust their government, compared to only 26% who said they do.​ https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/75–of-israelis-say-government-handling-of-war-in-north–poo

    ​ MK Bhadrakumar: Iran will hit Israel, ball is in US-Israeli court
    ​ The Iranian statement from the UN podium in New York is a message addressed to the White House that the ball is in the US-Israeli court. Interestingly, it coincided with the toned down White House readout on Biden’s call with Netanyahu on Wednesday, where Biden flagged the “defensive U.S. military deployments” and stressed the urgency of bringing the ceasefire and hostage release deal to closure and discussed upcoming talks in Cairo to remove any remaining obstacles.” It stands to reason that Tehran and Washington are communicating with each other.
    ​ Clearly, against such a heavily nuanced backdrop, the paranoia about a regional war is unwarranted, since neither Iran nor the US wants war. As for Israel, a small country, it simply lacks the capability to go to war with Iran armed with three submarines stacked with nuclear missiles as its strategic assets.
    ​ The stunning disclosure of Hezbollah’s vast network of underground missile network in southern and central Lebanon is a reality check for the Israeli political elite and settler communities on what they are up against.
    ​ As the former Israeli war minister Avigdor Lieberman puts it, Israel is engaged in a war of attrition, exactly as the Iranians wanted, having succeeded in uniting the resistance fronts. Lieberman pointed out that the agony of the indeterminate waiting for Tehran’s retaliatory operation is in itself an achievement for Tehran and the Axis of Resistance.​ https://www.indianpunchline.com/iran-will-hit-israel-ball-is-in-us-israeli-court/

    ​ Pressure from Russians on Vladimir Putin to escalate?
    ​ Solovyov is at the apex of Russian journalism and has close ties to the Kremlin. Over time, he has conducted several lengthy interviews with President Putin. Therefore what he said on air in his characterization of Putin’s decision making processes in times of crisis, like in the aftermath of the Ukrainian incursion/invasion of the Kursk province, may be taken to be very well informed.
    ​ Said Solovyov: “Our Commander in Chief does not submit to either outside pressure or to his own emotions.” Solovyov insists that Putin’s decisions are made in an absolutely rational way. One might say in an autocratic manner, if we use the original meaning of that word to be self-reliant and independent.​..
    ​..We have heard most recently that they wanted to capture some RF territory that might be used to compel the Russians to give back some of the Ukrainian land they have occupied since the start of the Special Military Operation. Thus, the aim is said to have been to prepare for peace talks on a ‘fair basis.’
    ​ However, Solovyov presented a different story, one which he surely received from senior officials in the Russian military with whom he is in close contact. He said that the main objective of the invaders had been to capture the nuclear power plant in Kursk, situated perhaps 70 km in from the border.
    ​ If the Ukrainians had succeeded on that mission, they would indeed have improved their overall chances of bringing the Russians to the peace table on more favorable terms to themselves. And this logic of their mission is confirmed by the large concentration of the most modern NATO tanks (British Challenger 2) and other heavy equipment appropriate to an irresistible cut through Russian defenses to their target.​ https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2024/08/24/pressure-from-russians-on-vladimir-putin-to-escalate/

    ​ India is not neutral but stands for peace – Modi to Zelensky
    On a visit to Kiev, the prime minister said his country is willing to contribute “in all ways possible” to the peace efforts
    ​ Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Kiev on Friday, marking the first visit by an Indian premier to the country. During a meeting with Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, Modi stated that India has not been “neutral or an indifferent bystander” as the Russia-Ukraine conflict persists, and has always been “on the side of peace.”…
    ..Modi’s Ukraine visit comes nearly six weeks after he traveled to Russia for a bilateral summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Since the beginning of the conflict, India has abstained from condemning Moscow over the conflict or from downgrading trade and diplomatic ties with it, despite pressure from the West…
    ..The premier’s visit to Moscow in July came under intense scrutiny from Washington and other global capitals. Biden administration officials were uncomfortable with the optics of the visit, which coincided with a crucial NATO summit that featured Zelensky. Ukraine’s leader himself termed Modi’s meeting with Putin a “huge disappointment” and a “blow” to peace efforts, prompting New Delhi to summon the Ukrainian envoy over the remark.​ https://swentr.site/india/602995-india-not-neutral-ukraine-russia-conflict/

    ​ Probing US Regime-Change in Pakistan & Bangladesh
    Jeffrey D. Sachs says the U.N. should investigate the charges that Imran Khan and Sheik Hasina have leveled against Washington.
    ​ Two former leaders of major South Asian countries have reportedly accused the United States of covert regime change operations to topple their governments.
    One of the leaders, former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, languishes in prison, on a perverse conviction that proves Khan’s assertion. The other leader, former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheik Hasina, fled to India following a violent coup in her country.
    ​ Their grave accusations against the U.S., as reported in the world media, should be investigated by the U.N., since if true, the U.S. actions would constitute a fundamental threat to world peace and to regional stability in South Asia.
    ​ The two cases seem to be very similar. The very strong evidence of the U.S. role in toppling the government of Imran Khan raises the likelihood that something similar may have occurred in Bangladesh.
    ​ In the case of Pakistan, Donald Lu, assistant secretary of state for South Asia and Central Asia, met with Asad Majeed Khan, Pakistan’s ambassador to the U.S., on March 7, 2022.
    ​ Ambassador Khan immediately wrote back to his capital, conveying Lu’s warning that PM Khan threatened U.S.-Pakistan relations because of Khan’s “aggressively neutral position” regarding Russia and Ukraine…
    ​..To add credence to Hasina’s charges, Bangladesh had delayed signing two military agreements that the U.S. had pushed very hard since 2022, indeed by none other than the former Under-Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, the neocon hardliner with her own storied history of U.S. regime-change operations.
    ​ One of the draft agreements, the General Security of Military Information Agreement (GSOMIA), would bind Bangladesh to closer military-to-military cooperation with Washington. The government of PM Hasina was clearly not enthusiastic to sign it.
    ​ The U.S. is by far the world’s leading practitioner of regime-change operations, yet the U.S. flatly denies its role in covert regime change operations even when caught red-handed, as with Nuland’s infamous intercepted phone call in late January 2014 planning the U.S.-led regime change operation in Ukraine.
    ​ It is useless to appeal to the U.S. Congress, and still less the executive branch, to investigate the claims by PM Khan and PM Hasina. Whatever the truth of the matter, they will deny and lie as necessary.​ https://consortiumnews.com/2024/08/22/probing-us-regime-change-in-pakistan-bangladesh/

    Going after the food industry will be uphill battle since JFK-j will be against all employed and their “paying jobs” in it. Poisons, which are mostly preservatives that extend “product’s” shelf life into infinity keeps the Co’s production and distribution costs down and “food” prices cheap that people “love and want”. Not once I watched in amazement at the supermarket or, even worse, gas station check-out what people buy to sustain them as a living organism. On the other hand, medical field has no objection to it, thus ensuring mutual co-existence.
    Similar to MIC. “Bring the troops home” means destruction of “good paying jobs at home”, and in both cases means deep cut and disruption of ingrained practice and what we may call an “economy” in general.
