ParticipantEuropean Class War https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/european-class-war
Alex Krainer explains to Nima in the first 7:30 minutes that Europe is an ancient debt cycle of Class Warfare, since Greek Antiquity, where debts grow, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and young men have little hope within the system, so their thoughts turn to revolution against the Debt-Oligarchs and the bankers.
The Oligarchic “Leaders” announces an external threat; the barbarians, Huns, Nazis or Russians, perhaps, and turn the economy to a war footing, send the young men off to fight an external enemy, and make war-excuses to the hungry people at home. “We all have to make sacrifices for our brave young men at the front.”

ParticipantUkraine and Russia’s Truce Agreements Run into Trouble within Hours
Ukraine and Russia accused one another on Wednesday of flouting a truce on energy strikes brokered by the United States, and the European Union said it would not meet conditions set by Russia for a planned ceasefire in the Black Sea.
The United States announced separate agreements with Ukraine and Russia on Tuesday to pause their strikes in the Black Sea and against each other’s energy targets, but the rhetoric from Moscow and Kyiv suggested they remained far apart.
Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said the US side told Kyiv the deals were effective as soon as they were announced. But the Kremlin said the Black Sea agreement would not enter force until a sanctioned Russian state bank was reconnected to the international payment system. Europe said that would not happen until a Russian withdrawal from Ukraine. https://english.aawsat.com/world/5125864-ukraine-and-russia%E2%80%99s-truce-agreements-run-trouble-within-hoursSimplicius, Signal-Gate Crash + Russia-US Make Progress as Ukraine Stalls
The Russia-US negotiations have concluded, with the joint statement announcing an attempt at a energy and Black Sea ceasefire. Lost in the shuffle were the announcements that SWIFT sanctions would be lifted on key Russian banks dealing with the grain and fertilizer initiative. In fact, Trump said “we’re looking at all of them”, implying several conditions would have to be met; in short: he’s insinuating the lifting of all sanctions.
But as per usual, the proceedings have already been mired in hangups and controversies, with European allies balking at the SWIFT demands. They have now roundly rejected any sanctions relief until a ‘total withdrawal’ of Russian troops from Ukraine…
..Likewise, according to the Kremlin, the ‘energy ceasefire’ was violated shortly after signing by Ukrainian strikes on Belgorod and Crimean energy infrastructure. Conversely, Ukraine claimed Russia struck energy targets around Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, causing momentary power outages.
Zelensky is back in Paris today for another “summit”—this time the ‘Coalition of the Willing’, being held in the capital tomorrow, wherein Macron is pledging a new €2B military aid package. The tiresome carousel simply rotates again and again, ad nauseam—but many in Europe are growing weary of the antics…
Europe and Ukraine are now working hand-in-glove to stop the Russia-US-led peace initiative. Why? Because the regimes of the unelected fascist EU kleptocrats can only survive by perpetuating the fake alarms of war, by keeping their citizens paralyzed in a state of fear with the Russian bogeyman. As soon as the war ends, the spotlight will be turned onto the vast grift and anti-democratic outrages these inhuman regimes have been foisting onto their citizens for the past few years…
..It’s clear that a coordinated operation is ongoing to destabilize Trump’s rule in any way possible. While the Europeans hamstring and undercut the Ukraine war settlement at every turn, American deep state forces are attempting to paralyze the Trump administration with concocted scandals. The latest is ‘Signal-Gate’, obviously spun-together by the Mossad plant Jeffrey Goldberg, operative head of the Atlantic rag, as a scheme to discredit and slowly chip away at Trump’s key cabinet members.
There is a war going on, as Trump slowly fights to cleanse this deep state faction, seen today with his executive order on the declassification of ‘Russia Hoax’ Operation Crossfire Hurricane. The Goldberg setup could very well have been designed to take heat off any revelations soon to come from the above…
..The US Senate Intelligence Committee meanwhile made waves by reinforcing the understanding that Russia will “outlast Kiev” on the battlefield…
..In light of all this, Zelensky’s aide has revealed they’re no longer satisfied with mere ‘defensive’ NATO peacekeepers, but now require offensive combat troops who are “ready to fight”…
..Four US servicemen from the 1st Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division, went missing along with a combat vehicle during exercises in Lithuania at the Pabrade training ground, not far from the border with Belarus, have been found dead — Delfi.
Of course, others made the reasonably logical extension that these “deaths” could merely be the customary ‘write-offs’ of combat fatalities for American special force operatives in Ukraine, particularly at a time when the media has been making increasing admissions of this fact…
..With news that Russia and the US are continuing discussions about reactivating the Nord Stream gas pipeline (remember Witkoff’s statements about joint Russian-US LNG to Europe?), German elites themselves are doing everything in their power to impoverish their citizens for the sake of ‘hurting’ Russia…..Germany continues to gaslight its own population and says NordStream is bad for the climate and would DESTROY the German DEMOCRACY!
The author is German government employee Felix Ekardt, the head of the Leipzig Research Center for Sustainability and Climate Policy…
..Medvedev was shown demonstrations of new Russian anti-drone systems under development, including what appear to be laser systems…
..For his turn, Zelensky announced that Putin will ‘definitely’ die soon, and then everything will be over for Russia. Does he know something we don’t? https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/sitrep-32625-signal-gate-crash-russiaDenmark Moves to Women’s Mandatory Military Service Sooner Than Expected https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/denmark-moves-to-womens-mandatory-military-service-sooner-than-expected/

Putin Says Temporary Governance in Ukraine Could Be Discussed Under Auspices of UN
The introduction of temporary governance in Ukraine would allow democratic elections to be held in the country, Putin added.
“And for what? To hold democratic elections, to bring to power a viable government that enjoys the people’s trust. And then begin negotiations with them on a peace treaty, sign legitimate documents that will be recognized throughout the world and will be reliable and stable. This is only one option, I am not saying that there are no others,” the president noted. https://sputnikglobe.com/20250327/putin-says-temporary-governance-in-ukraine-could-be-discussed-under-auspices-of-un-1121702606.htmlGermany: AfD jumps to 24% in new YouGov poll, right behind CDU: The AfD is surging and may soon be the top party in all of Germany https://rmx.news/article/germany-afd-jumps-to-24-in-new-yougov-poll-right-behind-cdu/
Gilbert Doctorow, NATO is doomed. Will the EU Institutions implode soon afterwards?
Another German, Ursula von der Leyen, our authoritarian unelected Fuehrer of the European Institutions is directing policies that will shortly put the EU into terminal crisis. Von der Leyen is the gynecologist turned politician who headed the Defense Ministry in Germany until the corruption scandals under her made it imperative that she be moved out. This was a direct precedent for chancellor in waiting Friedrich Merz’s plans to offload the nitwit German Foreign Minister from the Greens Annalena Baerbock onto the UN General Assembly.
For her part, von der Leyen was foisted onto the European Commission as president where during Covid her proclivity for concluding unauthorized and deeply flawed procurement deals raised a scandal there which it took all of her political savvy to contain.
Seeing around her the utter cowardice of officials in the Commission and in the Parliament, von der Leyen gradually seized power that has exceeded by far what the European constitution allows. And she has been using that power to turn the European Union from a peace project into a war project. In recent months that has expressed itself in plans to consolidate all European military procurement in Brussels under her control and in giving utmost support to the wildly unrealistic plans of the Zelensky regime to defeat Russia militarily and to recover its 1992 borders as well as compensation for war damages… ..In the coming showdown between the United States and the European Union over the partial lifting of sanctions NOW to enable implementation of the agreement on peaceful navigation in the Black Sea as a 30-day partial cease-fire, the USA holds all the cards and the EU holds none. The only outcome if Brussels persists will be the de facto withdrawal of the USA from NATO, leaving a disarmed Europe to pursue the conflict with Russia that it is provoking entirely on its own. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/03/27/nato-is-doomed-will-the-eu-institutions-implode-soon-afterwards/March 28, 2025 at 1:02 pm #185039those darned kids

ParticipantGilbert Doctorow, ‘Judging Freedom’ edition of 27 March: Kremlin’s View of Trump Administration Foibles
Judge Napolitano was very keen to explore how the Europeans have reacted to the scandal in Washington over the leak of sensitive chat texts about the bombing of the Houthis in Yemen to the editor of The Atlantic magazine. As I remarked, the European media are entirely aligned with the Democratic-leaning media in the USA, using this incident to attack the Trump administration for amateurism that has compromised U.S. security. The most they will say is that this puts in question the wisdom of sharing intelligence with Washington.
As for the Russians, their first reaction was to consider the leak an act of sabotage by lower-level officials in the intelligence agencies. Looked at more broadly, the Kremlin now has trust in the sincerity of Donald Trump’s efforts to end the war in Ukraine essentially on Russian terms. They worry whether Trump will be able to overcome his domestic and European opponents and succeed in bringing peace. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/03/27/judging-freedom-edition-of-27-march-kremlins-view-of-trump-administration-foibles/Transcript of ‘Judging Freedom,’ 27 March edition

US Government is a Big Money Laundering Operation – John Rubino
AG Pam Bondi says her office is going after the fraudsters ripping off America. Rubino explains, “We are finding out that the federal government is a big money laundering operation. There are so many different ways and so many different avenues that take cash from taxpayers or newly created cash . . . and it basically funnels it to political operatives, political class and the ‘expert’ class all around the world. . . . We have created this class of people who are effectively grifters . . . because they don’t do anything worthwhile at all. Do you think that think-tanks produce anything of value, or lobbyists or Washington law firms or regulators? The regulator is basically on a long job interview for the company you are regulating. You prove you are a team player and then Pfizer hires you for 10 times your FDA salary. So, everywhere you look it’s a form of money laundering.” …

What is really interesting about the Trump Administration is it contains a lot of gold bugs… In this scenario, the dollar sinks in value. What happens to gold? Rubino says, “Everybody who runs the numbers says gold has to be $10,000 per ounce at a minimum and maybe much higher. Gold has to go way up in price in a currency reset.” https://usawatchdog.com/us-government-is-a-big-money-laundering-operation-john-rubino/March 28, 2025 at 1:03 pm #185041John Day

B-2s carry the huge bunker busters.. U.S. Air Force Masses Large B-2 Stealth Bomber Fleet on Diego Garcia: Yemen in the Crosshairs
The U.S. Air Force has deployed at least seven B-2 strategic bombers to the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia, with satellite imagery showing that at least three C-17 cargo planes and 10 aerial refuelling tankers arrived…. The remote British-controlled island in the Indian Ocean positions the aircraft to generate sorties at higher rates against targets in either Yemen or Iran… B-2s were previously used to strike Yemeni targets on October 17, when the aircraft were used to launch large scale strikes against five targets using bunker-buster bombs. Then U.S. Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin referred to the attack as “a unique demonstration of the United States’ ability to target facilities that our adversaries seek to keep out of reach, no matter how deeply buried underground, hardened or fortified.” https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/us-air-force-masses-large-b2-fleet-diego-garcia-yemenThe Strategic Logic: Start in Yemen, End in Tehran
The logic is chillingly linear. U.S. and Israeli planners appear to be working through Iran’s allies one by one, strategically neutralising their capacities to retaliate before taking direct aim at Tehran. Yemen, with its missile and drone capabilities, represents a significant node in the so-called “Axis of Resistance” led by Iran. By degrading Houthi capabilities now, the U.S. and Israel believe they could remove a key threat to Red Sea navigation and, more importantly, secure their southern flank in anticipation of a potential wider conflict. https://ejmagnier.com/2025/03/26/the-path-to-tehran-strikes-in-yemen-signal-a-broader-confrontation-with-iran/March 28, 2025 at 1:05 pm #185042John Day

MK Bhadrakumar lives safely in India, so he can be confident: Talk of US-Iran war is all a load of baloney
The air is thick with the prognosis that a military confrontation between the US and Iran is now just a matter of time. Going by the pattern of such scare mongering in the past decades, Israeli media management skills are self-evident. There is a sense of de javu…
..There are no takers among the regional states for a military conflagration in the Gulf region. The old US-led anti-Iran front has unravelled following the shift in the Iranian and Saudi policies towards reconciliation and amity and the display of strategic autonomy by even those countries who still remain close allies of the US (in particular, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar.)… Qatar’s Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani drew an apocalyptic scenario that his country and the Persian Gulf Arab states will run out of water within three days if Iran’s nuclear facilities are targeted by the US or Israel! Does that occur to anyone?
The big question is, what are the intentions of the Trump administration. An underlying assumption here is that President Donald Trump is under obligation to the Jewish-Israeli lobby who funded his election campaign to be supportive of Netanyahu all the way through thick and thin. This assumption is untested yet and may never be, perhaps, given Trump’s complex personality as a deal maker…
..In an interview with Tucker Carlson last week, Trump’s Middle East special envoy Steve Witkoff underscored that regional stabilisation in West Asia demands addressing Iran. In his words, “I would say the goal begins with how do we deal with Iran? That’s the biggie. So the first is nuclear… If they were to have a bomb that would create North Korea in the GCC, we cannot have that… we can never allow someone to have a nuclear weapon and have outsized influence. That doesn’t work. So if we can solve for that, which I’m hopeful that we can.”
“The next thing we need to deal with Iran is they’re being a benefactor of these proxy armies because we’ve proven that … they’re not really an existential risk… But if we can get these terrorist organisations eliminated as risks. Not existential, but still risks. They’re destabilising risks. Then we’ll normalise everywhere. I think Lebanon could normalise with Israel, literally normalise, meaning a peace treaty with the two countries. That’s really possible”…
..“Imagine if Lebanon normalises, Syria normalises, and the Saudis sign a normalisation treaty with Israel because there’s a peace in Gaza. They must have that as a — without question — as a prerequisite. That’s a condition precedent to Saudi normalising. But now you’d begin to have a GCC that all work together. I mean, that would be, it would be epic.”
Does this ‘big picture’ envisage the destruction of Iran as a prerequisite? Not even remotely. And if anyone should know what he is talking about, it is Witkoff.
Later, towards the end of the interview, Carlson drew out Witkoff specifically with regard to Trump’s recent communication addressed to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei…
..“The Iranians have reached back out, and I’m not at liberty to talk about specifics, but clearly, through back channels, through multiple countries and multiple conduits, they’ve reached back out.”
“I think that it has a real possibility of being solved diplomatically, not because I’ve talked to anybody in Iran, but just because I think logically it makes sense that it ought to be solved diplomatically. It should be.”
“I think the President has acknowledged that he’s open to an opportunity to clean it all up with Iran, where they come back to the world and be a great nation once again and not have to be sanctioned and being able to grow their economy.” …
..“And I’m certainly hopeful for it. I think anything can be solved with dialogue by clearing up misconception and miscommunication and disconnects between people… And the president is a president who doesn’t want to go to war, and he’ll use military action to stop a war … In this particular case, hopefully it won’t be necessary. Hopefully, we can do it at the negotiating table…”
Again, do such remarks sound like war mongering? Curiously, in the interview, Witkoff openly welcomed an opportunity to serve as Trump’s special envoy to Iran to navigate the dialogue and peaceful resolution of issues.
To my mind, Iranians understand the meaning of Trump’s letter. They are now in an engaging mood as back channels are clocking hours… Make no mistake that Iran and the US are seasoned adversaries who have absolute mastery over the guardrails that contain tensions from escalating in their complicated relationship. https://www.indianpunchline.com/talk-of-us-iran-war-is-all-a-load-of-baloney/UN report shows Israeli rape culture is out of control This is not how a normal country behaves
A report by the United Nations has found that Israel uses rape and torture against against men, women and children as weapons of war; the intent being not just to humiliate and torment the victims, but to instil fear in the wider civilian population and drive them from their land. In other words, these are not just individual crimes against humanity but part of a psychological warfare effort against every Palestinian person.
The western media’s reporting on the matter has been disturbing, giving equal weight to the masses of evidence gathered by the UN commission and Israel’s denials. https://www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/un-report-shows-that-israeli-rape‘Brutalising Palestinians’: Israel’s culture of impunity continues inside its horror prisons
As Palestinian prisoners at Sde Teiman prison experienced constant Israeli abuse, they were transferred to Ofer and Anatot prisons, which turned out to be worse.
Under pressure from Israel’s top court to improve conditions at a facility notorious for mistreating Palestinians seized in Gaza, the military transferred hundreds of detainees to newly opened camps.
But abuses at these camps were just as bad, according to Israeli human rights organisations that interviewed dozens of current and former detainees and are now asking the same court to force the military to fix the problem once and for all.
What the detainees’ testimonies show, rights groups say, is that instead of correcting abuses against Palestinians held without charge or trial—including beatings, excessive handcuffing, and poor diet and health care—Israel’s military just shifted where they take place. https://trt.global/world/article/559910203996Why Israel’s plans to forcibly depopulate Gaza won’t work

ParticipantHis dad and uncle turn in their graves… RFK Jr. Touts Columbia University’s Crackdown on ‘Anti-Semitism’ Following Trump Admin Threats https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=64887
Judge Andrew Napolitano, Perilous Times for Personal Liberty
Thomas Jefferson argued that in the long march of history, personal liberty shrinks and state power grows. He famously believed that only a revolution can bring about a proper reset.
All of this history and theory came into sharp focus in the past two weeks when the feds arrested a Syrian graduate student in his student housing at Columbia University in New York City and shipped him to an immigration jail in Louisiana. He is married to a native-born American, they are expecting a child in April, and he is a permanent resident alien.
Last week, the federal government arrested a Lebanese physician at Logan Airport in Boston. She is a professor of medicine at Brown University, and she, too, is a permanent resident alien.
The student was charged with immigration violations. The physician was summarily deported to Paris and then to her native Lebanon.
The charging documents filed against the student allege no crime or personal misbehavior, point to no statutory violations, and offer no evidence of the student’s danger to persons or property or the government. The papers claim that Secretary of State Marco Rubio believes that this student’s presence on the Columbia campus — given his outspoken support for a Palestinian state, the existence of which has been the public policy of the U.S. for generations — is a material impediment to the execution of American foreign policy.
There are no charging papers filed against the physician, but the government leaked that when federal agents seized her mobile phone, they determined that she had been at the funeral of Hassan Nasrallah, the recently murdered head of Hezbollah. She was there along with more than one million others. When asked about this, according to the government leakers, she stated that she followed Nasrallah’s religious teachings but not his political ones.
While the physician was confined at Logan, her attorneys obtained an order from a federal judge prohibiting her deportation until a hearing could be held before him. The government ignored the order.
These two arrests implicate numerous constitutionally guaranteed rights, which are generally taken for granted here.
The first is the freedom of speech. We know from the writings of James Madison — who authored the Bill of Rights — that the Founders regarded the freedom of speech as a personal individual natural right. It is also, of course, expressly protected from government interference and reprisal in the First Amendment. The courts have ruled that it protects all persons — no matter their immigration status — who may think as they wish, say what they think, publish what they say, worship or not and associate with whomever they choose.
If the government can punish the speech it or its friends and benefactors hate and fear, then the First Amendment is useless and democracy is a sham.
Also implicated in these arrests is freedom of religion and assembly. Just as the student can make any public political statement he wishes — no matter how offensive or provocative it may be to his immediate or a distant audience — the physician can attend any funeral she wishes, can associate with any mourners of her choosing, can embrace any religion and can follow any preacher.
The whole purpose of the First Amendment is to keep the government out of the business of speech, religion and assembly. Without government fidelity to it, America is no longer a democracy but rather some form of conformist secular theocracy that rejects the basic values protected by the Constitution — and changes with every election.
Also implicated by these arrests is due process, guaranteed to all persons by the Fifth Amendment. At its rudimentary base, due process requires a fair hearing before a neutral arbiter before the government may interfere with life, liberty or property — and at which the government must prove personal fault.
In the case of the physician, the feds shipped her to Paris before the hearing could be held. In the case of the Columbia student, the feds shipped him to Louisiana, in defiance of the constitutional requirement that all persons be tried in the judicial district — in this case, New York City — in which the facts in their case took place.
What’s going on here?
In the government’s zealous enforcement of the nation’s immigration laws, it has become lawless. Every person who works for the government has taken an oath of fidelity to the Constitution. It is obvious that the feds do not take their oaths seriously. It is also obvious that the feds are breaking the laws we have hired them to enforce.
When government becomes the lawbreaker, it becomes a law unto itself — and human freedom is trampled by brute force. https://judgenap.substack.com/p/perilous-times-for-personal-libertyIsrael kills at least twelve Palestinians, including six children in Gaza

The mounting crisis was sparked by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s dismissing Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar. “It’s true that there are many security challenges from abroad, but Israel’s security is at risk because of the internal division,” Gantz said at the start of the week.
There are moves to also dismiss Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara by Netanyahu after a ‘no confidence’ vote by the cabinet. This has outraged opposition parties and much of the population.
Alongside this, the deeply divisive judicial appointments bill will soon be voted on…
..But the Israeli military looks to escalate, with reports it is in the preparation stage for annexing parts of the Gaza Strip.

President Donald Trump appears set to repeat one of the worst mistakes of his first administration: fighting an unwinnable war in Yemen. This time, it could be far worse as Trump has sent two aircraft carrier strike groups to the Red Sea, meaning Americans will be doing the fighting, not the Saudis.
While the Yemeni people will bear most of the suffering from Trump’s escalation, the needless war will further bleed the American treasury and deplete our arms depots.
If there is one thing that Americans should have learned about Yemen over the past decade is that there are no easy solutions. In 2015, Saudi Arabia announced it was going to conduct a swift regime change in Sanaa to remove the Houthis – Ansar Allah – from power.
As Scott Horton explains in the following excerpt from his book Enough Already: Time to End the War on Terrorism, the war in Yemen was an utter disaster that was completely avoidable. Once again, Washington is dragging the American empire into another entirely avoidable war in the Middle East. https://original.antiwar.com/scott/2025/03/25/escalating-an-unwinnable-war/ Houthi media reports new US strikes in capital after wave of attacks
Houthi media said late Wednesday that new US strikes had hit the militia-held capital Sanaa, after earlier reporting 19 American raids elsewhere in Yemen.
“A series of strikes by the US aggression have hit the south and north of the capital,” the Al-Masirah channel said, without providing further details.
The station had earlier reported 17 raids by the United States “on the Saada governorate,” on top of two more on Amran.
The Houthi news agency, Saba, said “the American aggression targeted the Oncology Hospital building in Saada.”
The hospital, which Houthi media said was under construction, was also hit last week. https://www.arabnews.com/node/2594871/middle-east Democrat: Leaked Messages Show Waltz Admitting to War Crime in Yemen Strike
J.D. Vance said it was “excellent” that a strike collapsed a building. Thirteen civilians died, according to one count.
Wednesday’s exposé came as a response to Trump officials insisting that classified information was not shared in the chat — despite the messages including what are clearly secretive high-level discussions on war plans.
“Another disgusting part of all of this is the proof [of] a blatant war crime to which the Vice President of the United States responded: Excellent,” said Rep.

“This Is Existential”: Billionaire Cancer Researcher Says Covid & Vaccine Likely Causing Surge In Aggressive Cancers
Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong – a transplant surgeon-turned-biotech billionaire renowned for inventing the cancer drug Abraxane – has issued a startling warning in a new in-depth interview with Tucker Carlson…
..In the interview, he draws on this background to voice deep concern over rising cancer cases, especially among younger people – something he describes as a “non-infectious pandemic” of cancer. He tells Carlson that in 50 years of medical practice, it was extraordinarily rare to see cancers like pancreatic tumors in children or young adults, yet recently such cases are appearing. For instance, Soon-Shiong was alarmed by seeing a 13-year-old with metastatic pancreatic cancer, a scenario virtually unheard of in his prior experience.
“I never saw pancreatic cancer in children… the greatest surprise to me was a 13-year-old with metastatic pancreatic cancer,” Soon-Shiong told Carlson, adding that he’s seen examples of very young patients (even children under 11 with colon cancer) and unusual surges in aggressive diseases like ovarian cancer in women in their 30s. These personal observations of more frequent, aggressive cancers in youth led him to probe what might have changed in recent years...According Soon-Shiong, the COVID era is the obvious change – and suggests that both the SARS-CoV-2 virus infection and the widespread vaccination campaigns could be key drivers behind this cancer spike. He emphasizes the massive scale of human exposure to the virus and its spike protein (via infection or vaccination).
“I don’t know how to say that without saying it. It scares the pants off me because I think what we may be, I don’ think it’s virus versus man now, this is existential. I think when I talk about the largest non-infectious pandemic that we’re afraid of, this is it.” https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/existential-billionaire-cancer-researcher-says-covid-vaccine-likely-causing-surge BREAKING STUDY — COVID-19 mRNA Injections Dangerously Reprogram the Immune System, Increasing Infection Risk

Key points from Putin’s speech on placing Ukraine under UN control————
https://swentr.site/russia/614892-kiev-violates-energy-ceasefire-moscow/
Kiev again violated US-backed energy ceasefire – Moscow (VIDEO)The Ukrainian military has attacked Russia’s energy infrastructure in three separate regions, again violating a US-mediated moratorium on such strikes, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has claimed.
The incidents, recorded over the past 24 hours, took place in Belgorod, Kursk and Saratov Regions of Russia, the Friday statement said.
On Thursday, Ukrainian artillery struck an element of the Russian power grid in Belgorod Region, disrupting the power supply in Shchebekino near the international border, the report said.A separate incident involved HIMARS artillery strikes on the Sudzha gas metering station in Kursk Region, where “the energy site was de facto destroyed.”
The ministry had previously accused Kiev of damaging the facility with planted explosive charges as its forces were retreating from the area.The ministry concluded that “all previous public statements of the Kiev regime about its purported intention to suspend attacks against Russian civilian energy infrastructure are just a smokescreen.” It believes that Ukraine wants to recover its military compatibility with the help of European backers while the US pushes for a complete truce with Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered that attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure stop on March 18, following a phone call with his US counterpart Donald Trump.
The Kremlin says it intends to maintain the 30-day partial ceasefire as a gesture of goodwill to Washington, even if Kiev fails to honor it.
However, the Russian Foreign Ministry has warned that Moscow reserves the right to withdraw from the agreement.

Several months ago I listened to an interview with Dr, Peter A. McCullough discussing studies that 98% of King County, Wa. State, where I reside, was ‘vaccinated’ with the experimental emergency use test product.
He also mentioned this was the highest rate (?) in the Nation.I found the results of his teams study which can be read here-
Excess Cardiopulmonary Arrest and Mortality after COVID-19 Vaccination in King County, Washington
“Our study spans a period both before and after the COVID-19 vaccination rollout, providing a clear temporal framework to observe and analyze changes in cardiopulmonary arrest rates. This temporal context allows for a clear examination of the relationship between vaccination rates and cardiopulmonary arrest mortality. Furthermore, the ecological validity of our study is enhanced by focusing on a large and diverse urban population, making the findings more generalizable to other metropolitan areas. The significant correlation between vaccination rates and cardiopulmonary arrest mortality has implications for public health.”
Highly recommended, thoroughly documented, much can also be gleaned from deaths directly related to the kill shots and their myriad forms of murder beyond hearts exploding- cancers, clots, strokes, vaids to name a few.
“This has led to concerns of a possible relationship between vaccination rates and increased rates of cardiopulmonary incidents. In the United States, the incidence of myocardial infarction notably increased in 2021, especially among younger adults aged 25 to 45 years. This age group, which is typically considered at lower risk for cardiac events, experienced a dramatic 29.95% rise in myocardial infarction compared to pre-pandemic predictions [11].
At the time of writing (Aug 2024), cardiovascular related deaths continue to rise in the United States ever since the COVID-19 pandemic and the inception of COVID-19 vaccination campaigns [12]. King County, Washington (WA), provides a unique opportunity to study possible associations between COVID-19 vaccines and cardiopulmonary arrest mortality due to its comprehensive emergency medical services (EMS) data and significant vaccination efforts.”
…
Had I been told in 2019 that Democrats, Liberals, Leftisits, the gay ‘community’ and feminists would behave and act like the monsters they became- I’m not sure I would have believed it. Even after studying the worst atrocities in history… my blind spots of denial regarding their potential for madness going kinetic was tempered with basic trust in humainty- that which no longer exists.
I made it through the gauntlet of their collective, cult like insanity- “a proud 2 percenter” of beautiful Washington State. Not unscathed, now a profoundly different person for the better with courage, integrity, calmer clarity, an unwavering truth seeker with boundless aspirations for adventure and compassion for those who earn it.
Having experienced their insanity up close all around me, my friends and family who dis-owned me, neighbors, co-workers, my local and federal govt.-their words and actions- they became monsters. Not a single one has acknowledged or apologized for being dead wrong, for going too far, for embracing and becoming evil.
Realizing that 98% of those around me are “my body, my choice” hypocrites is beyond disturbing.
The Hippocratic Oath and Nurnberg Code are meaningless to pathetic cowards full of arrogance and vitriol obediently locking down, masking up, injecting children, while so easily casting out truth and human decency. For whom the bell tolls, history rhymes.I have served tens of thousands of people in this Emerald City, a place I once thought of as home, now a decayed broken shell. A part of me misses who they were and life pre-covid… Watching and experiencing what they became as they willingly and gleefully dished out abuses and insults with ignorant virtue signalling hostile abundance- it is no wonder they are now dying and suffering, reaping exactly what they have sown.
No amount of logic, love, truth, objective reasoning or care could make a dent in their path of destruction they wove for themselves and others. They went beyond the pale, unreachable, where Death and unescapable reality now waits for them, their families, and their friends. An obedient Cult of Death.

It is clearly political violence orchestrated against an American company and American property owners, including individual citizens, to push consumers away from buying Musk products and associations.
Why are we all pretending? Isn’t this kind of laughable?
Religions and cults are most harsh towards those showing signs of straying, those trying to leave, those entertaining heretical thoughts.
This is a show of power and implicit savagery towards blue-squares who “betrayed” or might be considering betraying.
Oh, you think free speech and free association are a thing now? You think your’e NOT going to have to genuflect for our religious practices, say our words out of your mouths out of fear and a desire for self-protection? You think that’s over? No, nothing is over.
The majority of Tesla drivers – aside from H1B workers who LOVE Teslas – are “environmentally conscious” Democrats.
Horribly polluting the atmosphere with toxic chemicals against one’s supposed environmental concerns is NOTHING compared to terrifying the newly-unfaithful who THOUGHT maybe they were free now, terrifying them back into the fold.
Also of course attaching “the ick” to them through their car. See? Your’e not safe in the herd now, you’re vulnerable. Other people see you as ick, etc.
Trump doesn’t need to act quick to defend Elon Musk or Tesla. He should act now to show all those Dems who finally crossed the aisle that normal civil society type rules apply to their safety and protection.
I hear all day long “holy shit why are insurance rates going up everywhere” uh, every Democrat policy and strategy seems aimed specifically at raising your insurance rates? You see Leftists burning Teslas, then ask me why your Tesla premiums are mysteriously rising?
Californians freak out at rising Auto insurance rates the past 5 years – uh, did your state bring in 10 million or so new people that have drivers licenses shoved into their hands for voting purposes without any evidence of them going to driving school? Were those 10 million perhaps a bit more prone to crime than than the native population? Were there agreements bringing truck drivers from south of the border that aren’t such good drivers? Were there massive H1B visas displacing safe, native-born commercial drivers with incompetent, unsafe foreign drivers?
But that’s a totally separate thing from reality and my finances sir! One is religion, which I must adhere to for social reasons, the other is practical, my money, sir.
Right, right, like the baptism/purity test that was the notavax. It was for social and religious purposes. You were sanctified, cleansed – morally – and got to enjoy the SOCIAL benefits of the notavax – where you could go, what you could do, and so on. In that sense the notavax WAS effective.
But the Socialists who captured the institutions should not have used an unsafe new technology as their baptism
At least the Christians used harmless WATER, you fools. Think of something like harmless WATER for your religious observances rather than massively doing everything in your power to raise your own Auto insurance rates so that you can be holy, poor, and complaining about “greedy corporations.” Stick in spoke, shake fist at sky, Capitalism!

Oh yeah, that’s right. Insurance takes care of all this.
Congratulations, if the insurance industry had any reserves to deal with future crises – like Socialists burning down cities or bringing in 10 million hazards that increase risk of a peril affecting your vehicle – those reserves were used years ago.
I’m sure the hundreds of Californians would be so very happy if only the bill making them poor was labeled a tax rather than a bill from a company.
One would be holy an one would be profane.
But, as I already explained, it becomes more difficult to compartmentalize Socialist superstitions when they start appearing in your insurance bill.
“making money off the misfortune of others is pathetic.”
So you don’t know how the insurance industry works or you pretend to not know for fake argument’s sake.
The state of California reviews and then approves or denies insurance plans. Californians have been paying less than their fair share for years. The rest of the country has been subsidizing them.
With all the revelations from DOGE, you think a company, because of evil, icky Profit, charges more than the cost would be from government programs?
The money wouldn’t get diverted to whacko DEI Socialist crap, would it? So basically it is, again Socialists watching money change hands for services rendered saying “that should be me. that should have to go through ME” just like a bankster.

Participant“Plaintiff American Oversight brings this action … to prevent the unlawful destruction of federal records and to compel Defendants to fulfill their legal obligations to preserve and recover federal records created through unauthorized use of Signal for sensitive national security decision-making,” the lawsuit reads. Trump’s senior national security officials accidentally shared sensitive details about strike plans on the Houthi group in Yemen with editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg through the encrypted messaging app Signal.
There is an interesting angle to this. Before the advent of audio recordings, typewriters, and the special typewriter machines court reporters once used, the most efficient way to record spoken word was “shorthand.” Even this might strain to keep up with spoken words – and it required specialized training. As a result, “official records” were of “official meetings” — not of every communication under the sun. Now, we have technology that can record every communication. So the question is…where is the line drawn between “informal” communication of government officials — “casual conversation,” not recorded — and the “official record?” When there is recording there is accountability. When these records are available to the public we have transparency, and this helps the public keep the government in check. At the same time, people need space to brainstorm, and accountability during the brainstorming process can hinder creativity. There needs to be balance between what is recorded and what is not (or what is deleted immediately after…or can it ever be deleted?) Perhaps there is only a delay on the recordings of “casual conversation” of government officials — it comes out, but after 2 years or 5 years, etc.
This conundrum parallels the situation for private citizens whose devices are listening in on — and, we assume — recording and transcribing their conversations. Although, for private citizens, it would appear that the 4th Amendment makes it clear that private citizens are “to be secure” in their private lives. No such privacy is afforded by the Constitution for the public lives of government officials.

You frame insurance as socialist vs. non-socialist (is the opposite capitalist? Libertarian?)
I don’t see it that way. The concept of insurance is that people pool their resources so that individual members of the group are not devastated by individual losses that are beyond their direct and immediate control — it is a way to deal with the conflict of man vs. nature. If “socialism” is defined as “any time when people form a group to do something,” we get an overly broad definition where the traditional family unit or religious and civic organizations may be labeled as “socialism.”
There are many approaches in the world today about how to structure healthcare. I don’t think that there is a one-size fits all solution for healthcare.
I believe that “bureaucracy” is a more apt term to describe the problems with both the Canadian and US healthcare systems. Bureaucracies can easily lose the mission of the organization and take on a life of their own — often becoming very corrupt. Canada’s healthcare system is analogous to a monopoly — it has lost its vision about providing quality, timely healthcare to Canadians, and instead is trying to weigh who is most “worthy” of healthcare, or of the best way to ration a scarce resource among many. The US healthcare system is behaving akin to an oligopoly — several behemoths (both private industry and FDA, CDC, and NIH, etc.,) are colluding together to “juice” the system for personal gain, rather than for the purpose of providing quality healthcare to the US citizenry. Both systems have grave problems. Both systems need to be thoroughly revamped. I think that trying to compare/contrast right now and weigh which system is “better” – the “socialist” Canadian healthcare system or the “private” US healthcare system is a specious argument. A more useful discussion would be about which little parts of each system are actually working and why so that successor systems can incorporate, rather than lose, those parts.

ParticipantAt the same time, people need space to brainstorm, and accountability during the brainstorming process can hinder creativity. There needs to be balance between what is recorded and what is not.”
Yeah, it would (“hinder the creative process”), and that’s the whole idea. If you’ve ever been in a political smoke-filled-room then you know that the “creative process” consists entirely of how to do something bad and get away with it. We would like to curtail that activity by making it harder for them to plan that shit, and much much harder to get away with it.
It would be better, of course, if there were no political smoke-filled-rooms in the first place, but given that there are such dens of sin it behooves us to keep court-admissible records of every word they speak or penny they spend while they are on the public payroll. If they want privacy then they can quit being crooks and just move back down to being private citizens like the rest of us. No one asked them to become rich and powerful to rule over us. Every single one of those assholes is a volunteer.

ParticipantThe best insurance that you can get is a bunch of neighbors who care about you enough that when your barn burns or your crop fails they will gather together to rebuild your barn or feed your family.
Indeed! This is risk management!
Managing risk – packaged with purple hair, to help Socialists be able to hear what is being said https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RGN4tcHKzo
an easy mnemonic to remember the basics – STARR
S – Share – you can SHARE the risk with friends, family, socialists etc
T – Transfer – you can transfer the risk to someone else (like an insurance company)
A – Avoid – you can avoid the risk
R – Retain – you can retain the risk for yourself
R – Reduce – you can reduce the chances of a riskMore information packaged in an appearance to hopefully make the information digestible to a socialist
Stock vs Mutual companies:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQXrwEX7KZothose darned kids is a Socialist, so he doesn’t understand that he can:
Retain the risk
Share the risk
Avoid the riskHe can’t understand that he needs someone else to AGREE to him transferring the risk to them. He thinks he can forcibly, without consent, transfer his risk onto others. To make it fair.
He doesn’t understand that collective insurance ALREADY EXISTS. He can join a Mutual insurance company right now! He could FORM a mutual insurance company right now! You working the problem bro, now that you know there is a solution?
There’s tons of mutual insurance companies currently in existence, all of which he condemns as evil and “making money off the misfortune of others”
Dude, just retain the risk! Handle it yourself! Then you won’t be oppressed by anyone!
Or agree with some other socialists that you will share the risk amongst yourselves! Show us socialism working!
No, you object to existence itself. You object to costs BEING.
The costs should just go away somewhere. Or you would be using a mutual insurance company and not be complaining.
But a socialist doesn’t need to know how things work, they just need to know things are evil and say so.
Or this is special pleading. You know there are losses and costs, but YOU should be the exception.
Or you’re doing cloward-piven – your demands are knowingly for the destruction of the institutions and the “system”

Participantmr biden’s “pardon” of mr fauci was just show. he’s covered under the prep act, too.
therefore, mr kennedy is “pardoning” mr fauci each and every morning.Heh?
Not sure I understand ?I don’t know much about the prep act. The tiny bit of research I just did-
“The PREP Act, enacted in 2005,[4] authorized the secretary of HHS to create immunity from liability for persons responding to public health emergencies, preempting state-law remedies and replacing them with a federal compensation program.[5] The PREP Act was amended in 2013 to expand the scope of available immunity to products receiving FDA emergency use approval in pandemic situations.”
Biden pardoned Fauci from 2014 to 2025. There was no emergency from 2014 to 2020 correct?
Why the pardon to begin with? …and why go back to 2014?Fauci received better immunity from Biden than any of the “vaccines” providing covid immunity.
…
Fort Detrick closed in Aug 2019 for ?
Riddle me this-
October 18th 2019 event 201 sponsored by Gates/ CIA/ WEF about a pandemic “threat”
October 18th 2019 world military games in Wuhan China….
December xxth 2019 COVID WUHAN !
What are the chances that October 18th would start Event 201 AND Wuhan Military games on the very same day?
I think Covid escaped from Ft Detrick summer 2019- panic cover up ensued, 2mos later Event 201 and Wuhan Event same day…. December 2019 blame it on a wet market bat from CHINA….
I think both China AND the US bear responsibility for the bio-weapon created virus…it leaked or was intentionally released from Ft Detrick aka Fort Anthraxx Detrick… Notice that both Detrick and Wuhan labs were intentionally dismissed as origins, how convenient ?
Neither the US or China are held accountable.

Hunh? “The creative process” is how I approach IT problems every day. It is what I do when a music student is struggling to learn a concept, or my daughter is struggling in math, and I must find a way to teach. It is how I have managed to create an upbringing for my children that is akin to what I had — just on the upper side of middle class — on an income that is half the federal poverty limit for the past decade. (And, no, I didn’t break laws. I did seek to understand rules and exactly how they applied to my situation, and I am willing to pull useful stuff out of “bulk trash” piles left on the curb.)
The “creative process” is no more “bad” than a gun is “bad.” The “creative process” is what was used by the US founding fathers to create the Declaration of Independence, fight & win the ensuing war, and write and ratify the Constitution. No doubt, the British saw that as “bad.”

ParticipantI think D Benton said the bit about creativity
You frame insurance as socialist vs. non-socialist
Sort of.
I’m pointing out that Socialists don’t really want to share.
And also that force, compulsion, non-voluntary action, is implicit in their desires.
Because – as I described in some detail, along with an educational video, collective sharing has existed and does exist right now. And voluntary collective sharing does not appear to be on the Socialist menu.

Participant@PhoenixVoice I think you’re shooting at the wrong guy. The offending quote ( “the “creative process” consists entirely of how to do something bad and get away with it.” ) didn’t come from JB_HB. It came from me. You’re absolutely right about the creative process. As a process it is neutral. In a political smoke-filled-room in which paid public servants are talking about YOUR future, the creative process is used to do bad things to you and prevent you from finding out. My position is that public servants forfeit their right to privacy in all matters that have anything whatsoever to do with their sworn duties (which pretty well covers their every waking moment, these days).
