    Renown Swiss historian Daniele Ganser discusses his new book “USA: The Ruthless Empire”, the Military-Industrial-Complex and Security State, the Washington elite, and how the establishment continues to falsely pretend that America is not an empire. Illegal NATO regime change operations and expansion provoked Russia’s illegal Ukraine invasion. He is convinced the multipolar world is here and in the making. U.S. elite don’t want a strong Europe and the Nord Stream false flag was a demonstration of that. He believes we are witnessing ‘imperial overstretch’ as tactics such as color revolutions become less successful. He also comments on COVID-19 and the danger of “digital empire” and the Chinese-style social credit system coming to the West.

    “U.S. — The official state religion of the United States entered its High Holy Days today, with worshipers around the nation being called to rededicate themselves in submission and obedience to its holy teachings.

    “I am urging all Americans to publicly bend the knee before our sacred rainbow symbol,” said President Biden in an address to the nation. “Let us all take the time to pray and feast before our god of prideful human flesh, and before its sacred messengers, the genitals. We are a nation of Pride, blessings be upon its name.” –BBee

    “New Jersey Schools Report More Than 4,200 Percent Increase In Nonbinary Students In Four Years

    Totally normal. Weird how the most popular and celebrated group seems to be picking up new members from insecure, popularity-seeking teens.

    In other news: thousands of children “died suddenly” in their sleep, parents have NO CURIOSITY as to why. It just happens, I guess. No autopsy, no doctor, no demands, not upset at all. Nothing reported in the paper except “He was wonderful and loved”, therefore when he died inexplicably, we loved our children so much, we did nothing! Didn’t even look!

    Ellsberg, Duty:

    When they found out about this, they paid for a 40 year educational initiative to destroy “duty”, “Right and wrong”, and to make sure everyone that came after him would be afraid. It worked. One problem though: people like Ellsberg are competent and rational; they make good decisions that help the nation and Empire. If you train them to not be Ellsberg, to be cowardly, irrational, immoral, and self-serving, they make decisions that destroy the nation and collapse the Empire. Your choice. No free lunch. I guess we know which we have right now.

    “”More than 6,000 Ukrainians are being trained right now at 40 different training locations in 33 nations on three continents” -Mark Milley

    Cool story bro. Sounds wonderful. Can we back up a bit? Six-thousand? Six? So you’re saying 1/10th of the office-dwelling hunters of West Virginia could wipe out your entire New Army? In a weekend? They’d be wiped out walking from one end of Chicago to the other, a gun-free zone?

    …And you’re going to send them into RUSSIA, which just wiped out 5,000 men a DAY?

    …Okay, you go with that. I guess he fits the Ellsberg model, above.

    “The F-16s will have to be stationed in Germany and Poland. And Russia will not wait till they show up in Ukraine”

    Re-reading the coffee table prophesy of Alois, about 1900. He said in the future everyone would walk around staring at their gray cigarette cases, no idea what that means. His vision was Russia would suddenly rush to far West Germany, unstoppably. Therefore, the response was to drop a “yellow powder” from the Baltic to the Black Sea that kills everything it touches, plants, animals, minerals, 100 mile wide line, trapping Russia’s foray on the West side. This happens after there are a wild number of foreigners invading Germany, many dark people.

    Okay, great plan. At 100 miles wide you killed a nation the size of two Germanies in Europe, your own territory and people. The “Golden City”, Prague, ceases to exist forever, probably in the powder line. And didn’t stop Russia, btw, who then drops a tsunami bomb off UK. (rightfully so) But that’s what I was referring to the other day and happily ran into it again, thinking of it.

    F16s? Alois says “The war won’t take very long.” This is what happens when people can’t tell the truth.

    “ongoing counteroffensive, losing 186 tanks and 418 armored vehicles”

    In two weeks. So we need to produce well in excess of 100 tanks/week, 5200 tanks a year, armed and in theatre. Or 2x-5x that, since these tanks did NOTHING. Well? Are we going there? Nope, because they’ve got the yellow powder and can kill everyone in Eastern Europe while we drink Champers in Paris. The plan IS to draw Russia out from where they’re safely in their own borders. Unf Russia knows this too well. Maybe it requires replacing Putin with a warhawk.

    ““[The Jews] say that Zelensky is not a Jew, he is a disgrace to the Jewish people. I’m not joking,”

    And he’s not. Ze was not born that way, and his kids are baptized. Look how fast and easily he ‘converted’ to pretend Jew, just as GWB ‘converted’ to be a Baptist a day before his Presidential Campaign, and note how lock step, how universal the media in reporting it with shrill denial, just as they did GWB and blamed the “Christian Right” for the Iraq war. So, using the Jews as a hostage and still-bleeding skin suit, right out in the open. Everyone lets them and approves. The real Jews themselves deny it, everyone hits them on the head with a shovel and say “get back in your hole.”

    Later they’ll say the Jews were running everything, even as they were denying it, and that the millions who go to Temple are not real Jews, but Ze and Soros, who support Nazis, openly round up Jews and send them to their Nazi deaths, actually are Jews. Sure pal, sure.

    Since no one cares, what was that guy said “You’re of the devil and YOU put the demon in that guy”? And he said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” “You will know them by their fruits.” Stupid is as stupid does? Maybe not the last one. Hmmm, guys who kill all Jews are…maybe…I might be reaching here…Not Jews? Because then they’d be rounding up and creating murder structures for…themselves? Don’t know what it takes to make this more obvious.

    So…we believe chronic and open liars like Ze and Soros, but DON’T believe Rabbinical groups who have historically been entirely earnest. The Rabbis don’t know what a Jew is, but Sum Dum Guy does. Riiiiight. Sounds like a scam to me. Hardly even a scam – a scam would have to be clever. This is just “See that sun up there in the sky? It doesn’t exist; actually it’s black.” And the people say “Uh-huh, you’re right and a genius, shut up and take my children!”

    “Anglo-Saxons Control Collective West – Lavrov (RT)

    Since by that he means England (and the 5 eyes) and Germany, he’s correct. Spain and France will tell you that, I think.

    ..Warsaw is considering submitting restitution demands to Kiev for the 1943 Volhynia massacres, which saw over 100,000 Poles killed..”

    Setting the stage. Not sure they have the people’s support for anything though, as if that matters anymore.

    “the occupiers are still on our land means freezing the conflict, the pain and the suffering,” Zelensky said”

    The pain of not being able to shell Russians in the Donbas themselves. It hurts! How we long to kill another 10,000 children in open markets! Please help. Send your money today. For just $1 a day, you too can help us get some cluster bombs and snipe a toddler. UNICEF.

    “Now the “strategy” is to invent a Taiwan Question out of nothing, which is configuring the chessboard as the ante-chamber of no holds barred Hybrid War against Russia-China.”

    Our plan after losing is to lose again. Btw, Alois said China actually invades the whole West coast, mostly likely into Canada as well, but unsurprisingly, they can’t hold it. It’s huge and the number of people-ships is probably more than exist on the planet. This coincides with the Hopi prophesy of the “Red Ants”. Great. So happy. Thinking I don’t want to stand around San Fran when it happens, though. If I were China, I’d liquidate all 40 million people. Even though they love and would take in China with open arms, them being both “Socialist” (in name anyway) and not being White, they are therefore clearly ethnically superior, a master race almost! Apparently, Bill Gates will help. Maybe when China holds it under martial law, everyone needs a vax for all those medieval diseases, no?

    “Musk slammed the fellow billionaire for holding a short position on Tesla shares worth around $2 billion.”

    How the game is played: Gates takes out a short. They remove Tesla from the ESG list and put Exxon up there as #1. Stock goes down. Rubes are fleeced and beg for more ESG.

    “• Unprecedented Funding Crisis: UN To Cut Food Aid For 2.5 Million In Syria (MEE)”

    That’s totally funny, since I seem to remember reading somewhere that some nation…in the Northeast?…has overwhelming quantities of grain sitting around? And is asking the UN about exporting it? And the UN said “No! That will keep people alive and we want each and every, all humans dead”? …Something like that. Considering the distance, I bet you could move it an a Mediterranean Rowing Galley.

    Tesla: it’s not a truck. It can’t carry anything. Pretty sure it can’t tow anything either. It’s a joke Elon drew with a crayon when he was high as a kite.

    Daniel Ellsberg explaining why he didn’t regret the Pentagon Papers

    Shocking to see what real integrity actually looks like.

    Hardly seen today in the Empire of Lies Gangster Nation

    The thugs and goons and criminals running the present government are the legacy of the same crowd Ellsberg dealt with half a century ago.

    One might entertain the thought that they are an ancient cabal of blood drinking Satanists.

    The only source of justice seems to be watching the Russians turn the Satanist’s proxy inside out in Ukronaziland like a cheap skirt on a $20 whore.

    Who has Prigozhin’s back?

    “I sent this contract through several channels, tried to pass it through the mail acceptance window to the Ministry of Defense, this is what you saw. I sent it by mail and handed it over to the courier, so that they would definitely receive it. I will not disclose all the nuances of the contract yet. I think that the Ministry of Defense itself will merge it in the near future, as soon as it receives it, ”publishes Prigozhin’s audio message from his press office.

    Seems to want to sign over his men. Looks like he wanted a video time stamp of his efforts.

    At SPIEF (St. Petersburg Intl Economic Forum) 2023, you (Prigozhin) were named trendsetter of the year, meaning you set trends in modern reality. How do you feel about this assessment and what do you think about it?

    “I think that modern trends are dictated by the Russian soldier and the Russian people, who have decided that they do not want lies, do not want deceit and do not want double standards.

    As for the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, a friend of mine emailed me a series of photos from the Internet, or rather collages – on the one hand, today’s forum, and on the other hand, what is happening at the front. These are two realities. What is happening today at the St. Petersburg forum is called a feast during the plague. And it has nothing to do with the economy, it has to do with the secular lifestyle and the parties that used to be in London. And now they are not enough for a certain number of elites.”

    Stopping the war supply lines, not food aid, will stop the war.

    Lindner explained that the EU has maxed out its long-term budget through 2027, largely as a result of the bloc’s lavish aid packages to Ukraine.
    The UN has warned that due to an unprecedented funding crisis, it will be cutting food aid to at least 2.5 million Syrians. More than 5.5 million Syrians rely on the UN World Food Programme (WFP) for their basic food needs.

    • Germany Has No More Money For EU – Finance Minister

    Hahahaha

    Energy, the Master Resource, is going to be permanently too expensive in Deutschland, the ‘economic engine’ of Eurotardistan.

    When the Sun’s not shining and the Winds aren’t blow, and the nuke plants are all mothballed, it’s going to be time to hitch up the donkey to the turnip wagon in old Deutschland cause not much will be shaking except the German public sobbing into their beer, if they can still afford even a glass.

    As Germany collapses into an agricultural backwater dotted with Disney theme parks, the rest of Eurotardistan will descend into Real Chaos, cause the lights will flicker and the food will experience ‘supply chain’ problems.

    But look at the bright side, Eurotardistan will still have Pride Parades to celebrate their diversity

    And the Ring that the Empire of Lies installed in their collective noses will lead them to their North Star.

    Gates wanting to destroy the Chinese economy and corrupt the government in the same way as he did in the USA? Sorry Bill, the Mao beat you to it. You can tell the quality of our leaders by the results: Bill and his fellow billionaires have brought the USA to its knees. He tried to kill all Africans and Indians with fake vax money making schemes, but they threw him out. Now he is going to try and destroy China, maybe he will pay them to force everybody to take his vax and let Bill run their health through the WHO. Remember he managed to put the shite Windows OS on every laptop that was made in the USA, you know, fix the competition so that nobody has any choice anymore, totally anti-competitive: the US politicians were so cheap, the CCP politicians are all billionaires already, so they will take a bit more work.

    More “Hard Truths” regarding consciousness and spirituality, with inspiration from Dr D – “the Constitution lives INSIDE US, and not out there where they’ve killed it”.

    With these conversations, we find ourselves discussing the origin/source of all things. Everything exists – begins and ends on the INSIDE, and not “out there”. The distinction is critical. Recognition thereof, and the living of this understanding is life changing. It is the Way to create real and lasting LOVE/PEACE/JOY in this life.

    Inward facing practices reveal pure CONSCIOUSNESS, going beyond the thought waves of the mind. Clarity and TRUTH shine forth! Be silent, sit calmly, follow the breath…and you will hear – not with your ears but with your HEART, what needs to be known.

    Outward facing is a giant projection – of thought waves/mind/ideas into/onto the manifest world. When the outer projection becomes the only reality (as is the case for most folks today), people are subjected to Heaven/hell and Good/evil (the “play” of opposites) in this life. It’s a rough Constitution-killing ride out there.

    When you understand that your projected world is not the ONE reality, your response to life changes. Once you get re-oriented, there is no one/nothing “out there” to point to, to blame. It frees up lots of negative energy and opens channels for opportunity/potentiality.

    With devotion, TRUTH will find you.

    LOVE to All Seekers.

    Blood Of Patriots https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/blood-of-patriots

    ​Why JFK Was Deemed a Threat to National Security​ Thanks Christine
    ​ ​ June 10 was the 60th anniversary of President Kennedy’s Peace Speech at American University. Reading or listening to the speech today, it is not difficult to see why the U.S. national-security establishment deemed Kennedy to be a grave threat to national security, just as it did with certain foreign leaders, such as Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh of Iran, Congo leader Patrice Lumumba, Guatemalan President Jacobo Arbenz and, later, President Salvador Allende of Chile..​.
    ​.​.There was no possibility whatsoever of a peaceful resolution of the forever war between the United States and Russia, U.S. oficials said. There could never be peaceful coexistence, they maintained. The war against the Russian Reds, U.S. national-security officials held, was a war to the death. That was why the Joint Chiefs of Staff recommended to Kennedy that the United States initiate a surprise nuclear attack against the Russians, a recommendation that Kennedy indignantly rejected.
    ​ ​Having achieved a “breakthrough” after the Cuban Missile Crisis, Kennedy had decided that he was going to lead America in an entirely different direction from that of the national-security establishment. In his Peace Speech, Kennedy threw down the gauntlet against what had now become his enemy — the national-security establishment. Kennedy essentially declared an end to the Cold War racket and announced that henceforth Russia and the United States would live in peaceful coexistence. He declared an end to to the extreme anti-Russia hostility that the national-security establishment had inculcated in the American people, and he even praised the Soviet Union.
    ​ ​The very next night — June 11 — Kennedy delivered a nation-wide speech expressing support for the civil-rights movement, which the national-security establishment was convinced was controlled by the Russian Reds. That’s why the FBI wiretapped Martin Luther King and used blackmail with the aim of inducing him to commit suicide.
    ​ ​Kennedy then followed up his words with actions. Over the fierce opposition of the Pentagon and the CIA, he negotiated the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty with the Soviets. He also ordered a pull-out of troops from Vietnam. He proposed a joint trip to the moon with the Russians, which would have meant sharing U.S. rocket technology with the Reds. On the day he was killed, he had an emissary having lunch with Fidel Castro with an intent to normalize relations with Cuba, which was anathema to the national-security establishment.
    ​ ​What would have happened if Kennedy had lived? The national-security establishment would have immediately become irrelevant and immaterial. They would have been left twiddling their thumbs, with nothing to do. Remember, after all, that the supposed threat from the Russian Reds was why the federal government was converted to a national-security state in the first place. Peaceful coexistence with the communist world would have meant no more justification for a national-security state. The Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA would have been dismantled and America’s founding system of a limited-government republic would have been restored.

    Why JFK Was Deemed a Threat to National Security

    ​ ​“[JFK] learned very early on that the purpose of the CIA and the intelligence apparatus was to create a constant pipeline of new wars for them, for the military industrial complex,” Kennedy noted, adding that JFK was adamant that “it’s not the United States’ jobs to dictate what kind of governments other countries have.”
    ​ ​RFK Jr. continued, “in October of 1963 he heard that some of his Green Berets had been killed… and he said I want a total casualty list from Vietnam. His aide came to him and said 75 Americans have died, he said that’s too many and he signed that day a national security directive ordering all troops out of Vietnam… the first thousand over the next month and then the rest by the beginning of 1965, and um and then a month later he was killed.”

    ​Tucker Carlson turns his acerbic eye first to his former employer – Fox News – and then to the “wannabe dictator” in The White House.
    On Tuesday this week, shortly after former President Trump’s arrest, Fox News ran two video feeds (of Biden and Trump) simultaneously with the following chyron: “wannabe dictator speaks at The White House after having his political rival arrested.”

    ​ ​President Joe Biden dumbfounded an audience in Connecticut and observers everywhere when he closed a speech on Friday by declaring, “God save the queen, man.” Next, as with seemingly every conclusion of a Biden public appearance, the 80-year-old president appeared confused about where he should go next, pointing to and fro and seeking guidance from someone off-stage.

    ​ Christine sends this from Gilbert Doctorow: ​High point of the St Petersburg International Economic Forum: Putin on stage
    ​ Simes: “Some people are talking about Russia perhaps using tactical nuclear weapons now to re-instill in the minds of people in the West what nuclear deterrence is all about. Will Russia use these weapons?”
    ​ ​Putin : “The answer is No. We do not plan to use nuclear weapons in this conflict. As I have said, their use is theoretically possible only when the existence of our statehood is threatened. As for tactical weapons, I do not want to lower the threshold for use of any nuclear arms. For purposes of deterrence, there is no need to remind the West that we have a significantly bigger stockpile of tactical nuclear weapons than they do. This is, so to speak, our competitive advantage. We have made our statement by positioning nuclear weapons in Belarus. That is a clear message. We have no need to frighten the whole world.”

    ​ ​Xi … and Abbas went on to announce a strategic partnership between China and Palestine, saying, “The Chinese side is keen to seize this opportunity to enhance in a comprehensive manner friendly cooperation with the Palestinian side in various fields.” For his part, Abbas pledged to make Palestine part of China’s One Belt and Road infrastructure project for Asia.

    ​ ​France’s Le Pen says Crimea ‘has nothing to do’ with conflict in Ukraine
    ​ ​”Crimea has nothing to do with the conflict in Ukraine,” she maintained. “Residents in Crimea decided to join Russia. This position was also shared by former French Presidents Nicolas Sarkozy and Valery Giscard d’Estaing, and I stand with them, too, that this issue has nothing to do with today’s conflict in Ukraine,” emphasized Le Pen, who was incumbent French leader Emmanuel Macron’s main rival in the presidential election in 2017 as well as last year. According to the parliamentarian, “the conflict in Ukraine is related to the Minsk agreements, which do not concern Crimea.”
    ​ ​Le Pen underlined that she views Crimea to be a part of Russia. “I have been saying this for 10 years already, and I have not changed my mind.” She insists that “the Donbass issue should be central at talks to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.”
