    Pharma and other poisonous industries
    are mining our bodies for profits.

    It is the worst possible economy one can have
    and the greatest transfer of wealth
    to the ruling class in history.

    Right now the U.S. economy embodies
    the worst aspects of colonial conquest
    combined with a turbocharged fascism
    that is vastly more sophisticated
    than the Italian and German systems
    during World War II.

    Because the primary industries in the United States
    produce poison and misery,
    the ruling class also requires
    a vast cultural system
    to produce ongoing amnesia about our situation.

    So countless streaming services and social media companies
    figure out how to capture our attention 24/7/365
    so that we never actually stop and think about
    what is being done to us.

    “Mulvaney then transitioned into a rant about Bud Light not being supportive enough: “For a company to hire a trans person and then not publicly stand by them is worse in my opinion than not hiring a trans person at all, “

    So, if you’re political, you get attacked from both sides is what I’m hearing. Who knew? That’s only been true since the first day Og traded rocks with Gog. Genius, Bud Light, which I haven’t mentioned as they fired the Ad execs at last (or DID they? Dun dun dun.) They told company floor workers then denied it. If so, it would be the first time anyone has had consequences of anything, ever, no matter how mild (like this) in 10+ years? So I doubt it. Maybe $100k severance first? And I didn’t mention 1) cause it’s boring and 2) because Bud also sponsored a bunch of new drag-show-for-kids stuff in the same week, as expected. And the CIA exec once again basically told their customers they’re all stupid, hateful, and wrong, just using new more clever words for it. Don’t think they didn’t notice. Down 30%, no possible recovery, even Left-of-Mao violent Trotskys like Starbucks have stfu and run screaming for the hills in surrender.

    “Win Through Peace” There’s more in a whole interview of course, but no. When you’ve done wrong, are this far off the path, you just Lose. Like having Shame, Losing is good. It’s right. When your team sucks in every way, doesn’t prepare, doesn’t play the game, doesn’t know or follow the rules, you just lose to the other team. Your opponent in that case is #Reality itself, there’s no option BUT losing. Where there is order and consequences, aka Karma, aka, “Cause and Effect.” It’s a basic Newtonian principle of the Universe, like “Time”. So no. We lose. In fact we lost long ago, we’re just getting the Gold Medal Boobyprize for it now.

    Howso? As I said, if you go to elementary school here – anywhere – they basically give you your OnlyFans™ account, and introduce you to your drug dealer on the first day. So we were chatting about all the many, many different cases in the area where the teachers were sleeping with students. So many we were like “Oh yeah, I even forgot about that one!” What a hoot. Yes, it’s called “Child Rape”. Approved by all the other teachers who did nothing, didn’t blow a gasket, didn’t quit, all the Administrators who didn’t care or covered it up – all jealous, I guess – all the policemen, local, county, state, who didn’t act. Where would you POSSIBLY get the idea that child rape isn’t approved of here?

    Oh yeah, that was back as far as 1990. Think it might be worse now? And graduating with ZERO competency. ZERO. Out of the entire Baltimore schools. 20,000 students? Now all ripe for prison, having no basic skills?

    AND YET IT DOESN’T END.

    Even at this point, the very THOUGHT of not raping students, the THOUGHT of someone getting fired for failing at their only job that will ruin the lives of 20,000 children every year, is fought with the fury of a host of devils. So everyone gets up, no consequences, and does that rape doubleplus harder again this Monday morning. The Kids need us after all! Doin’ it for the children!

    I’m sure you think I exaggerate. But no. Why bother?

    So…this nation, that can’t accomplish this simple task you can, and people in log cabins DID in fact accomplish, to give a 10-year old basic books skills that allow them to go to Harvard, or be an Illinois lawyer and President someday, is going to “Win” at anything? I’m sorry, probably not. Probably some things will need to happen first.

    Not to say, but I certainly HOPE Lira is only in 60 days prison. That’s a pretty good outcome in that part of the world right now.

    “Analog phone and cursive”

    The funny part of these memes is that it shows how much YOU failed THEM. Not the other way around. If there are basic life skills, you FORGOT to teach any of them, AND mock the kids for not knowing. Narcissist’s Dreamboat pleasure cruise. I’d teach them cursive – I could use a brush up – but I’m not allowed and there’s no time they’re too busy in DIE training. Same with Millennial “Participation Trophies”; the Millennials didn’t GIVE themselves trophies, you idiots: Gen X and Boomers did. THEY made it up. THEY decided. THEY are the useless, dismal, criminal failures. The Millennials are the collateral damage to your complete moral ruin.

    “• Time To Make Peace In Ukraine, Trump Tells Reuters (TASS)

    Well even if we take all of BlackRock’s tiny, worthless amount of money (they DIRECT capital, they don’t OWN the capital — $6T on $6B valuation) and use all the NeoCon’s fortunes to pay reparations to Ukraine, we still wouldn’t bring back those 300,000 people. Or the 10 million who left and are in Europe now.

    But I’m willing to give it a try. If we did this, reparations is basically the law. I guess we could get taxed over time (Such as oil tariffs) and let Russia be the executor of the repairs? What’d they say in Iraq I? “You break it you buy it”?

    [Trump] never explained exactly how he sees ending this conflict.”

    True and accurate. However, it’s also too obvious: no U.S. arms, no U.S. orders, no U.S. intel, and no U.S. $160B taxpayer money, war ends in hours. Only illiterate, uncurious, unknowledgeable morons such as reporters wouldn’t know that.

    “Poland Wants US Nuclear Weapons – PM (RT)

    Typical Poland. Why they act like this I do not know. It’s always worked out badly before. If you were any of their neighbors, including Sweden, you’d think “I need to conquer and occupy these guys just to get a little peace for a while.” They can’t run around inflaming war with everyone everyday for decades, It’s bad for the whole continent. Nope. They do. Can’t stop, won’t stop. Another 60M killed in the Polish mill to collect dynamite and start fires. I don’t have a solution. Glad I’m over here.

    “Ukraine’s Top General ‘Pissed Off’ Over Counteroffensive Criticism – WaPo (RT)

    I’m with him. It’s unbelievably heroic and truly amazing their military initiatives and ability over there. Should be put in textbooks. However, like the Poles, it’s also impossible, criminally stupid and can’t be won. Lie down like the Irish and shoot at the Russians later when they occupy. Or something.

    NATO can’t do either. Like all spreadsheet jockeys they say, “Why can’t you do all YOUR job, AND 10 other people’s jobs, when I give you no money or time. I wrote it right here on this napkin, safe at work-from-home, on the resort hotel beach room in Waikiki.” Uh-huh. Let me guess: then you pay yourself a bonus for exemplary work done with the Titan I. C.? We’ve seen it all.

    “Kiev Considers ‘Holding Crimea Hostage’ – WaPo (RT)

    Great idea! One problem: HOW? So you’re saying you’re neck deep in an existential hot war, have no men, and you’re going to put 500-mile missiles in, Odessa, I dunno. And Russia is going to respect all your borders and NOT come blow them up??? With their 100% intact Russian Air Force?

    Okay, you do you. Spreadsheet jockeys. “But the Ruuuulllllzzz, I wrote here on this spreadsheet; I can hit you, you’re not allowed to hit me back or I’ll complain…” In the media. Oooooohhhhh, I’m shakin’. Stuff this guy in a locker and wait for the night janitor, will ya? He needs to learn something today.

    ““..Ukraine must first win and carry out a successful counteroffensive, and only then will we decide to negotiate..”

    Classic. First we win! Then we “negotiate” by setting all terms on the Russian unconditional surrender, where they are chopped up, sold, and all their people are killed. Step Three: Profit. Easy!

    ““this split personality disorder does not help to correctly navigate the situation.”

    Russiaphrenia. Where Russia is useless and weak, but ALSO our major threat and so strong they’re everywhere, controlling every election worldwide. Artifacts of the mentally ill. The NeoCons, which are the Khazarian Mafia, but not in a perfect overlap. Some are just white, bloodthirsty morons who will go to war with anyone and Russia’s handy. The not-quite-minions, the paid middle managers of the true worldwide Ukrainian Bloodline Race mafia.

    ““Ukraine officials told Burns they aim to move artillery and missile systems near the boundary line of Crimea and push further into eastern Ukraine by the fall. ”

    In my magic world of toddler make-believe, Russia can neither see this nor expect it. They have to cover their eyes and count to ten! This is MY make-believe and in MY story, the other guy loses and I win! …This is what happens when rich twits have never had consequences in their lives, ever, once, for 50+ years.

    You know how you fix this? A Meritocracy. Where when people FAIL at an Iraq war, kill several million people, blow $2 Trillion dollars while their home country collapses, something happens to them. That’s why were were apoplectic about it and can’t let it go since 9-12. It’s called Shome. It’s called Bankruptcy. “Make Bankruptcy legal again”

    “CIA Head Calls Russian Intel Chief To Say US Uninvolved In Wagner Mutiny (TASS)

    And we know, when the CIA calls you, they would never, never lie. Lukashenko then thanked Burns profusely for allowing him to position an army, all the nukes, and hardened soldiers 50 miles from Kiev, AND radically cut costs by swapping expensive paid Mercs for normal soldier pay.

    “accusing him of feeding a “misinformation campaign” against the Biden”

    Okay, you’re a lawyer: elaborate. What was said that was inaccurate? We’ll fix the record on that of course.

    “America Is a Military Dictatorship Disguised as a Democracy (Whitehead)

    Maybe since Lincoln, but it comes on slow. Slow is actually more dangerous, the “Fabian” Socialists. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabian_strategy Saw today going around, prices are now doubled – steak at $25/lb – but also dislocated – bread at $1/loaf. Other beef at $4/lb. This is the hallmark of bad inflation, the pricing comes unglued, chaotic, and supply disruptions. This would be at the 75% inflation, Argentine, Hyperinflation, but because they’re so successful, the inflation remains “slow”, and the people aren’t alarmed, and can persist astonishingly longer (hurting millions more people). Like for 20 years now.

    “By this standard, had the Declaration of Independence been written today, it would have rendered its signers extremists or terrorists, resulting in them being… arrested, held indefinitely, stripped of their rights and labeled enemy combatants.”

    Of course. Obviously. That’s the point. And in ALL nations at ALL times in ALL history. Taught to us in grade school that this was true. This is not new and doesn’t have to be a tyranny or dictatorship. But these guys will pop up and try it IF there is a tyranny and dictatorship. Because otherwise, they could just run for office with honest elections and be heard.

    “Those who make change impossible, make violent revolution inevitable. Or something.” Yada yada ya, — JFK

    Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban trolled the European Commission in a Twitter post on Thursday over its rapidly emptying coffers. “What happened to the 7-year budget?”

    Viktor, it was stolen by the bureaucrats at the EU, the garden people (as Dr D would say). They are thieves, they want to capture and steal your country, they are the people who would never have existed if Adam could have only obeyed a simple instruction. But here we are, who is going to get rid of them?

    In an interview with the Washington Post published on Friday, General Valery Zaluzhny stressed that Kiev’s ongoing push – which Moscow claims has failed to gain any ground – is not a spectacle for the entire world to enjoy.

    General Valery Loser is happy to take your money, then he claims you should not enjoy the results. What a muppet, actually he sounds pretty smart because western idiots will buy into this, and they are the vast majority of the west. The muppets are the western leaders, the ones digging the hole in Ukraine.

    On Lavrov, top post:

    West’s ideas about how to end crisis in Ukraine ‘schizophrenic’ ..

    The ‘Collective West’ (roughly, NATO + EU + 5 eyes + Japan..) is making crazy demands such as that Russia goes back to the 1990 borders.

    Such exravagant demands divorced from reality don’t spring from any will to end the conflict, save lives, cross-border commerce, international relations, but rather are clarioned to signal that ‘the conflict’ will end only when the ‘Collective West’ decides it will quit and withdraw after having done as much damage as possible.

    If it takes 10 (or 5…) dead Ukrainians to kill one Russian, it is worth it. In any case Slav lives are of no account.

    The Collective West, the USA as main driver, when it decides the end of this operation, will just leave the UKR theatre (see Afgh, Lybia, Syria is more complicated) to its fate, and big Cos. who are active there, and btw already own a lot of the land etc., they will take it over, with a puppet Gvmt. in place.

    Re-building will also be lucrative up to a point, that depends on many factors, v. complex, basically, what ressources can extracted, mined, commercialised for profit, how can the cheap labor be captured and held, what manufacturing, etc. And … how much investment can be attracted, for hope of profit / noble causes, to go into greedy pockets?

    Retrying…

    ~~~~~~~~~

    I do not believe that failing to teach today’s children about how to use an analog phone or phone book is a failure of education. To teach them how to use such items would be anachronistic and a waste of time. Cursive is a different issue — failing to teach children cursive is about controlling and curating the current generation’s access to source documents of the past.

    Where I see a huge failure of today’s education is failing to teach kids how to use TODAY’s technology. In the past couple of years I am consistently running across 20-somethings who profess to know almost nothing about how to use a personal computer. Just a couple of days ago, I called a new retirement home telling the receptionist that I teach technology and music classes to seniors, and the receptionist told me that *she* could use technology classes. For another retirement community, the (young-sounding) activities director explained that while she had tried helping seniors with their smartphones, they had also asked for help with their laptops, and she didn’t feel like she knew enough to help them. I have run across a newly minted nurse practitioner with a MacBook, who didn’t feel like she knew how to use her own laptop.

    The powers that be seem to prefer “end users” who are technologically stupid and anxious about “messing things up” on their technological devices.

    On a side note, I sat with one of my sons yesterday as he opened his first bank account. The legal user agreement for the bank’s smartphone app was tremendously long. I walked him through scrolling through the entire document on his phone, suggesting that it was wise to at least look it over and be familiar with its provisions, noting sections that were not currently relevant, but that should be looked at before using those relevant capabilities of the app. (i.e. review the rules around bill pay in detail before utilizing that feature, etc.). The banker helping us with the new account process was very patient, noting that “no one does this.” Damn straight! I will teach my son not to be cajoled and bullied into blithely signing any document put in front of him.

    TRANS

    When I thought about the issue of ‘trans’ I realised there was a single underlying theme : the elimination of women! [Not literally]

    It attacks the few areas where women can stand out such as sports and ‘women of the year’ awards and even as ‘mothers’. The word ‘woman’ is being phased out in favour of ludicrous alternatives. A lesbian wrote that in her area bars and cafes were refusing to serve them as they are all somehow ‘transphobic’.

    This appears orchestrated.

    There is only one area which can have this power – social media. Some time ago it was found that Facebook had successfully experimented with modifying beliefs and attitudes. Is this another ‘experiment’?

    Humans are easily programmed – tell them what to believe and they will believe it AND will aggressively attack those who don’t believe it. I suspect the latter is the main appeal – the excuse to be aggressive in ways that would otherwise be unacceptable.

    It explains a lot if this is thought of as the basic reason for trans-activism with anything else just being window dressing.

    A safe and dependable rule of thumb is to assume, with prejudice, that everything that comes to you from the government (be it money, information, control or law) is either a direct lie or is based on a lie designed to empower the government by taking something from you.

    The above statement should be (and probably has been, somewhere at some time) carved in stone and placed in the middle of the town square. It should always be considered true in each case until proven otherwise in each case.

    Every single person who works for government, or works on it’s behalf in any way whatsoever gets that money and/or that authority by taking it away from you. In other words, their interests are being served at your expense. There may or may not be some meaningful return service to you, usually not. Assume not until proven otherwise. The most likely case is that they are serving their own interest ABOVE your interests, and in most cases they are unaware of your personal existence, and couldn’t care less.

    You should never trust anyone who places their own interests above your interests. You can interact freely and peacefully in all sorts of ways with such folks, but you must not TRUST them on anything of any real importance, because when it comes down to that crucial question of who wins and who loses on stuff that matters, such persons will choose for THEMSELVES to win, and and for YOU to lose. That’s pretty obvious, right?

    So why do so many people act like they trust the government and all of its agents, experts, mouthpieces and stooges? I mean, how could anybody actually TRUST such a blatantly outrageous pack of liars?

    Easy.

    It’s sure a lot easier than taking personal responsibility for betraying the trust placed in us by our children and family for so many years. I mean, it’s not as if none of us KNEW that toxic foods, immorality, failure to protect our loved ones, or financing the killing of strangers in foreign lands for commercial reasons are not BAD things. Some government expert tells us it was just FINE fine to feed our kids toxic garbage for the first 18 years of their lives and then send them off to die in a foreign war, or work for the Blackrock Branch of WEF Incorporated (EVERYBODY who uses dollars works for those guys), and then we went ahead and DID it? How could anyone possibly be that vile or stupid!

    Oh, I see. It wasn’t our fault because experts (government) were telling us that it was the right thing. So is that really a good enough reason to NOT know what we damn well know?

    I suppose it is if we just go on believing the experts who tell you it is. Just be sure not to accidentally know what it is that you’re trying so hard to not know.

    Maybe “not knowing” something like this, for example : That government guy over there who is using his power of control over me as a means of compelling me to allow him that authority to have control over me, obtained that power in the first place by LYING and deceiving me into believing that his purpose was to serve and protect me rather than enslave and harm me.

    I’m beginning to think that he was lying all along, and knew it. He didn’t give a damn about me. He cared about the good stuff that was in it for him, at my cost.

    Of course the more I proclaim those charges, and prove them beyond shadow of doubt, and promise that justice shall be served, well the stronger that bird has to “not know” what he damn well knew from the git-go, and the harder he now has to work to lie and harm even more so that does not lose that power to lie and harm with impunity and get paid for it.

    That’s a bit of self-defeating conundrum, don’t you think? I don’t think that method is going to work very well.

    Maybe a somewhat different approach would work better.

    Something like this:
    Instead of seeking to punish miscreants, rather seek to know (instead of pretending that you don’t) anything that you yourself may be “not knowing on purpose” that allows miscreants and liars to have power over you. It could as simple as the fact that you really do not have to do what the government (or anyone else) tells you to. The choice of compliance or defiance truly is a decision that is yours to make. Indeed, you’re the only one even capable of making it.

    This route requires confronting something about yourself and your own actions that have earlier chosen (almost secretly) NOT to know. Therefore this route is almost certainly going to contain a considerable amount of discomfort and hard work. It is certainly not such easy fix as taking some “medicine” or consulting an expert, and then leaving the driving to them while one reclines blissfully in shiftless ignorance.

    Few people choose the hard way. That’s why the road to Hell is so crowded. Lots of folks are working damn hard to avoid the work of going in the other direction (which, ironically, is the only way out of here.)

    Anyhow, and getting back to the main point (yes, yes, there actually is a main point to all this.)

    The point is that people who choose and work to NOT know something, are doing so because they do now want to become aware of the fact that the undesirable consequence they’re trying to avoid is something that resulted from their own mis-doing, and they knew it from the git go.

    We’re not going to get them to see truthful stuff by making the consequences of their lies and misdeeds look even bigger and worser. All that will accomplish will be to scare the shite and shame out of them and incite them to lying and harming even harder to avoid the now increased consequences which they already fear so much that the fear is literally driving them insane.

    I think that a more effective (and therefore truer and better) solution is to truly care more about THEM and their welfare than we care about ourselves. And if we can do that, when we do that, and it is true (not smarmy or fake), then the other will see it too, and then they will trust (because we are trust worthy) and they will finally be free to know that it is they themselves (and/or we ourselves) who caused the bad consequence that they are working so hard to avoid public (and private) responsibility for.

    Some will repent, and others will double down. That’s just the way it goes. If that looks like hard and dangerous work, well that’s just the price we pay for being so irresponsible for so long.

    Am I suggesting or advising some sort of “forgiveness” thing, like in religions and stuff?

    Well, technically, and in point of fact, NO it isn’t. No one gets “forgiven” of anything. Quite the opposite. EVERYBODY fesses up and takes responsibility for their thoughts, words and deeds.

    Note: By this time, in this longer than usual comment, you have probably surmised that my essay is starting to take on distinctly spiritual tones, and you would be right.

    Moreover, the “leaning toward the spiritual side” aspect of the essay also brings up another distinct and useful point. It’s an important tipping point, actually, and explains why people who are buying the government’s bullshit are becoming ever more deaf dumb and blind toward simple “right out in plain sight” truths (such as men are not women. Such as children should not be abducted,raped, mutilated and killed. Such as the vax is a bio weapon democide in progress. Such as, etc. etc.)

    Those people are deaf and blind because they WANT to be deaf and blind. Ultra-adamantly deaf of and blind to the very same truths (large and small) that are the only way out of their tailspin into Hell.

    And what is the truth? (Say, I could use that question in a movie! Move over Elmer Gantry and Pontius Pilate.)

    Let me respond to that question with the short version answer. Truth is a spiritual thing. Those who turn that direction for their answers are at least looking in the right direction, and that difference in chosen direction (between materiality & spirituality) in the search for satisfactory answers is the tipping point that marks the great divide.

    In other words, it is not so much about the destinations at the opposite ends of the path . . . it’s about the direction one chooses to travel. We have to help folks choose and continue in the right direction, and some of them are going to be nigh on to impossible to get turned around.

    Trying to do that IS the correctly chosen direction. The difficulty is not a factor in that choice.

    Means Of Control https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/means-of-control

    Richard Cook provides this focused context of how globalist control is exercised in the world we “know”:
    The modus operandi of the Deep State is to prepare the ground for destruction of any nation deemed a threat and to neutralize those individuals, foreign and domestic, considered a danger to the Controllers’ agenda.
    The Controllers’ overarching goal is world conquest, control, and resource extraction. They see themselves as partners with and heirs to the British Empire, with whose own Power Elite they are heavily wired. The desire to gain world military, economic, and political dominance for the U.S. had been around for decades, but the final decision to achieve it was made by the Controllers at the start of World War II…
    …Today’s military doctrine of full spectrum dominance is a clear expression of the Controllers’ overall intent. Full spectrum dominance naturally translates into totalitarian control down to the level of thought, speech, and action of every human being on the planet. Some of the actions of the Deep State to exert this control have been explained by Matt Taibbi and others through the Twitter Files disclosures.
    Since the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, presidents of the United States have had one primary job: to serve as the ceremonial head of a nation masquerading as “free” and “democratic,” while the Controllers and their Deep State henchmen go about their business of taking over and ruling the world. Presidents who came up short, like Nixon and Carter, were shunted aside…
    ..Particularly at risk is the exalted role of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Once dollar hegemony is gone, so is the primary mechanism of world control.
    With the looming defeat of the U.S. in its proxy war against a Russia backed by China in Ukraine, panic has set in, with the danger of escalation toward World War III. As it anticipates this war, the U.S. is trying to complete its subjugation of the EU as its willing vassal, with the focus on Germany. Of course, the U.S. is still trying to exert control of China, the ultimate target.
    In order to fight World War III, a compliant U.S. president must be in office, ready to rubber-stamp decisions. Hillary Clinton was to have been that president after 2016. But out of nowhere, Donald J. Trump emerged. Trump was not interested in leading the U.S. into World War III. Nor were the Americans who elected him. Trump is a businessman…
    ..Tucker Carlson dates the beginning of the plot (to remove Trump) to the Republican candidates’ debate in Greenville, SC, on February 16, 2016, when Trump said we never should have been in Iraq when we went to war in 2003. Trump said the U.S. “destabilized the Middle East.” He said, “They lied. There were no weapons of mass destruction. They knew there were none.” To be fair, in his June 13, 2023, broadcast, Tucker Carlson did not use the word “assassination.” But he did say that the intent was for Trump to die in prison. So I think “assassination” is a fair word.
    Regarding the 2024 presidential election, the only individual the Controllers and Deep State have to cling to is the corrupt, doddering Joe Biden, with enough baggage to sink an ocean liner. Even more laughable is his parody of a vice president, Kamala Harris.
    But also appearing out of nowhere is a legitimate rival to the Biden/Harris comedy team in Robert F. Kennedy Jr., scion of the family that earlier stood in the way of Controller/Deep State rule but whose stalwarts were blotted out by assassinations–JFK, RFK, and, yes, I believe, JFK, Jr.

    A Wild, Conspiratorial, Fantastical View of World Politics: Might It Be True? 

    Bobby Kennedy Jr. at the recently televised “town hall” is asked to explain his “unscientific” position on vaccines, which he does eloquently, clearly and factually. (13 min) Thanks Jeremy. “Antivaxxer” is a term used to silence and marginalize him, as he points out. He wants prospective long term studies on every vaccine to evaluate efficacy and all-cause-mortality in the treated vs. untreated groups, to avoid surprises, like Vioxx killing people’s hearts when they took it for arthritis.

    French Police Say “We’re At War With Vermin” As Nationwide Riots Spread Like Cancer (more like a bloodborne-infection, really)
    President Emmanuel Macron’s government struggled to contain the violence, which was sparked on Tuesday after a teenager was shot dead by a police officer.
    In an update on Saturday, France’s Interior Ministry said 2,500 fires were reported overnight. Rioters set fire to 1,350 vehicles and 235 buildings nationwide. About 1,300 people were arrested, while the government mobilized 45,000 police officers with armored vehicles to quell the violence.
    According to The Telegraph, French police said they were “at war” with “savage hordes of vermin” on Friday night. The country’s top police unions threatened revolt unless Macron’s government restored law and order.

    About 9% of the population of France is African, living in slums, and has raised at least one hopeless-generation to angry adulthood.
    This article is coarse and edgy, uncensored, racist and rude, but there are lots of video clips.
    I do not share or condone the writer’s perspective, but appreciate the collection of news. Caveat emptor.
    Earlier this week, the cops killed some Arab “youth” who was “fleeing the scene of a traffic stop.” His mother filmed it, and demanded a revolution, and the collective brown population obliged her.
    A revolution they have now.
    Though the riots center around the suburb of Nanterre, the entire city is on fire, in what can no longer be called “riots.” The immigrants are killing cops and seizing their weapons. This is now a war.
    Of course, this is the age of total censorship, so we can’t really confirm what is happening on the group, beyond what we see on video.

    ​ ​What happens in Russia after The Longest Day? Pepe Escobar
    ​ ​Camps to accommodate at least 8,000 Wagner fighters are already being built in Belarus, in the Mogilev region – according to “Vyorstka” (“Layout”).
    The real story behind it is that Belarus, for quite a while, has been expecting a possible attack from rabid Poland. In parallel, as much as sending NATO into extra freakout mode, Moscow could be contemplating the opening of a new front between Lviv and Kiev.
    Wagner in Belarus makes total sense. The Belarussian Army is not exactly strong. Wagner secures Russia’s western front. That will raise major hell on NATO – even figuratively, and force them to spend even more astronomical sums.

    ​Russia’s strike on Kramatorsk eliminates two Ukrainian generals, 50 officers — top brass
    https://tass.com/politics/1640457

    ​ ​Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused Ukraine of allowing foreign mercenaries and Western generals to use civilian infrastructure to fight against Russia, and has vowed to destroy these groups.
    ​ ​Speaking at an online briefing on Friday, Lavrov said that Russia has “not seen confirmation of a single fact of deliberate shelling of civilian targets by the Russian army.” He claimed, however, that the Ukrainian side has been “violating international humanitarian law and committing a war crime by allowing mercenaries, Western generals and instructors to use civilian objects to hold all sorts of meetings.”
    ​ ​“If we discover such gatherings, for example, as in Kramatorsk, we will destroy them, because these are people who have declared war on us,” Lavrov said, referring to Russia’s recent high-precision strike on a temporary brigade base in the Donbass city of Kramatorsk on Tuesday.
    ​ ​The Russian Defense Ministry had claimed that the base was hosting a staff meeting involving dozens of Ukrainian officers and foreign advisers, and reported that the attack resulted in the deaths of “two generals, up to 50 officers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as well as up to 20 foreign mercenaries and military advisers.”

    ​Time to make peace in Ukraine, Trump tells Reuters
    ​ “I think the biggest thing that the US should be doing right now is making peace – getting Russia and Ukraine together and making peace,” he said. “This is the time to do it,” he added.
    ​ ​The ex-US leader also believes Ukraine may be allowed to keep what it has “earned.”​ [How enigmatic…]​
    ​ ​”I think they would be entitled to keep much of what they’ve earned and I think that Russia likewise would agree to that. You need the right mediator, or negotiator, and we don’t have that right now,” he lamented.
    ​ ​Without either elaborating on what Trump meant under “earned” or citing the former US president directly, Reuters said that he did not rule out that Kiev might have to concede some territory to Russia. Everything would be “subject to negotiation” though, Trump added.

    ​ ​CIA Chief Made Secret Trip to Ukraine to Discuss Battle Plans, Ceasefire Talks
    ​ ​Citing officials familiar with the visit, US media reported that CIA Director William Burns during the trip in June met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Ukraine’s top intelligence officials.​..
    ​..Ukraine officials told Burns they aim to move artillery and missile systems near the boundary line of Crimea and push further into eastern Ukraine by the fall. Then Kiev intends to open negotiations with Moscow for the first time since they broke down in March of last year, the report said, citing people involved with the planning.
    ​ ​Officials reportedly later said they hope by agreeing not to take Crimea, Russia would accept whatever security guarantees Kiev can secure from the West.
    ​ ​One Ukrainian official told the outlet “the US agrees that Ukraine should enter the negotiations from a strong position.”​ …
    ..Burns’ trip occurred just before Wagner chief Yevgeniy Prigozhin’s aborted mutiny. The report said the US intelligence community had detected in mid-June that Prigozhin was plotting something, but that those findings were not relayed to Ukrainian officials.
    ​ ​According to the report, Kiev is under extraordinary pressure from Western allies that provided Ukraine with billions of dollars in weaponry ahead of the counteroffensive.
    ​ ​Earlier Friday, US media reported that Burns recently called his Russian counterpart, Sergey Naryshkin, to inform him that the United States had no involvement in Prigozhin’s aborted mutiny.​ ​

    ​ ​Wuhan Virologist Admits COVID Was Engineered As a ‘Bioweapon’
    ​ ​According to Shan, the Wuha​n​ lab’s task was to identify the coronavirus strain that would be most useful for spreading among various species, including people.​ ​He claimed that in 2019 his supervisor in Nanjing City gave him four coronavirus strains so he could determine which was the most potent and easily spreadable. Shan used the virus to test human ACE2 receptors, bats, and monkeys.​ ​During the 26-minute interview, he also mentioned that a number of his colleagues went missing during the 2019 Military World Games held in Wuhan.​ ​Subsequently, one of his colleagues revealed that they had been dispatched to hotels where athletes from various countries were staying in order to “inspect health and hygiene conditions.”

    Wuhan Virologist Admits COVID Was Engineered As a ‘Bioweapon’

    ​ “There Was No Pandemic” by Denis Rancourt argues that the virus was too weak to cause so many deaths without a lot of “help” to make the “pandemic”.
    ​ In conclusion, the excess mortality was not caused by any particularly virulent new pathogen. COVID so-called response in-effect was a massive multi-pronged state and iatrogenic attack against populations, and against societal support structures, which caused all the excess mortality, in every jurisdiction.
    It is only natural now to ask “what drove this?”, “who benefited?” and “which groups sustained permanent structural disadvantages?”
    In my view, the COVID assault can only be understood in the symbiotic contexts of geopolitics and large-scale social-class transformations. Dominance and exploitation are the drivers. The failing USA-centered global hegemony and its machinations create dangerous conditions for virtually everyone.

    BioNTech is “FDA approved” in the US, but never sent to the US. This gives reason to believe it is “safer” and also “non-identical” to the Pfizer EUA “vaccines”.
    ​ ​Scientists have uncovered startling evidence that a substantial portion of the batches of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine deployed in the European Union may in fact have consisted of placebos – and that the German regulator knew this and did not subject them to quality-control testing.
    ​ ​The scientists, Dr. Gerald Dyker, Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Ruhr University Bochum, and Dr. Jörg Matysik, Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Leipzig, are part of a group of five German-speaking scientists who have been publicly raising questions about the quality and safety of the BioNTech vaccine (as it is known in Germany) for the last year and a half.

    ​ Sasha Latypova has more details of how the big American vaccine-scam was run through usual pharmaceutical end distributors, but with BARDA providing “bioweapon countermeasure” products to them, not pharmaceutical products, as everybody thought..
    BARDA (Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority) is a federal agency within Health and Human Services, however its objectives are militarized:
    ​ ​The mission of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) is to develop medical countermeasures that address the public health and medical consequences of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) accidents, incidents and attacks, pandemic influenza, and emerging infectious diseases.
    ​ ​In addition, BARDA is neither a regulated pharmaceutical manufacturer, nor a licensed distributor, nor a regulatory agency with a mandate to enforce consumer protection laws with respect to pharmaceuticals and medical devices.​..
    ​..Pharmacy distribution is licensed by each state. Here is for example a handy 800-page book from the State of California explaining all the applicable laws and regulations. The best part of this book is that NONE OF IT applies to BARDA who now admits that it is in charge of the distribution of all “covid vaccines”!
    ​ ​What then applies to BARDA? Apparently not much.

    Human control officers try to control a pathologically rabid feral thug, killing the emergent villain in the process, igniting the preplanned Islamic Holy/Race War:

    They r chanting Allah hu akbar and burning shops, cars, public property looting shops

    France has a 9% muslim population that is highest in Europe and most of them are African immigrants whom France gave shelter…

    🇫🇷 Total anarchy reigns in France at the moment, the situation is worse than in 2005, chaos broke

    🇫🇷 In Paris, police stations are burning, schools destroyed, looting at every turn, over 70 *big* fires right now not counting cars, garbage cans and everything else.

    Africans and Muslims have been burning burn and looting in Paris. Now they are rolling through the streets in armored police vehicles. Mass immigration turned the City of Lights into the city of violent savages.

    White truck drivers are now being lynched in France. Black and Arab gangs are totally in control of the streets. The savages have defeated the West.

    (They also killed 3 lions trapped in their zoo cages..)

    830 years after 9 million books in Nalanda were burnt by Islamists, the largest public library in the city of Marseille in France has been set on fire.

    Knowledge is everything. The villain understands this more than the victim.

    The buses are the main thing that the Arabs (Muslims) appear to be telling blacks to target, because that creates an endless distraction while the Arabs get the guns and other equipment from the cops.

    Elect a fascist government, expect a war 🙄

    Islam is a religion of hate & antispiritual to the core, most have no idea of the origin(s), history or what is actually taught in the Quran…

    Not to mention the violent racist hatred boiling just beneath the surface…

    They are tribal by nature, with total subjugation of “humanity” as a primary directive, with deep resentments & grievances against Western Civ ~ If they can, they will destroy France even if it means suicide.

    As with all religions, here & there a few evolve into *true* spirituality, as also happens in secular CULTure, but it is the exception not the rule…

    Moreover, all “organized” religions, just like gen pop (see childhood organizations), attract NPD sociopaths seeking surreptitious power (see clergy, politicians, police, teacher’s unions et al.) that prey upon the ignorant, innocent & defenseless under “color of authority” 😐

    Without sheep dogs, the wolves devour the sheep at will…
