Albert Gleizes The football players 1912-13 • Medvedev Thinks That Zelensky Does Not Need ‘Any Peace Treaty’ (Tass) • Delegation Of Doom: Pelos
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle May 4 2022]Yesterday DBSmith “If you want to save money and turn bigger profits with less work then the nearly perfect three-for-one operation is famine.”
Would this do the trick: https://www.globalresearch.ca/big-pharma-set-control-entire-food-supply/5779182“Monsanto is creating specially-tailored genetically-cut seeds for these vertical farms and the University of California is developing a plant-based mRNA vaxxine that farms can grow in heads of lettuce, which happens to be the main crop of these new farms.”
Fed day. Powell raises rates by 20% in one day to get ahead of the curve! The markets go wild! Screaming, shouting, REALLY wild. Yes, 20% increase TODAY would only get him in CONTROL of the rates, and at the modest, correct level. Anyone see us getting to average rates today?
If I can get this picture right, Money Printer Go Un-Brrrrrrr.

“Pelosi: Russia’s War Requires “Strongest Military Response”
Okay, so we’re going to nuke them then. Tomorrow. Unless you’re a liar and that’s NOT the “strongest military response.” Sheesh. So are you a liar, and idiot, or both? Words have meanings. You use words for a living. Try not to be a total failure about it. Does anyone actually believe they are visiting Kiev? Or that Zelensky is not in Poland?
Poland is going to stop buying Russian gas. Excellent! What’s the plan? The plan is, they don’t have to because they have 75 days in storage. Ba-da-dum. Cue the Polish jokes. Except…
Germany’s plan to not buy Russian gas. Great! You have a magic golden egg oil 97 million bbl per day comes from? Oh no — that would almost make sense. …They are going to nationalize the industry. Yes, that’s right, steal it all. Because someone forgot to tell them they are stealing the PIPELINES, but not the SOURCE: the oil wells. Details, details. I let the little people take care of the details for me, I’m much too important to bother.
So not ONLY will they have an oil, gas, chemical, and fertilizer shortage, but ALSO an economic collapse as people flee Europe, a continent with no law and no property rights. Well, I guess if nobody’s left in Europe because they fled to find freedom in Columbia and Chile, they won’t have as much to worry about.
P.S. YOU’LL own nothing. THEY will own everything. Starting with the ENTIRE INDUSTRY, soup to nuts. All your base are belong to us.
Musk’s PayPal joins the plan. They banned naughty journalists (read: anybody we want, who doesn’t Do What They’re Told when told to by a corporation). Okay. But the specific terms say “You cannot de-link your credit card from our service” what? And “We are going to steal all your money for 180 days”. Are you going to pay be 20% interest for 6 months for the use of my money? No? Sounds like theft and no property rights in America then either. Least surprising ever. What caused the cancellation? Who knows? They didn’t say. They won’t say. BECAUSE WE SAID SO!!! The 1st line of response of all narcissistic sociopaths. Now don’t make me have to hit you again, woman! This is all your fault.
All estimations are because Consortium News and these reporters don’t want to bomb and kill women and children with adequate enthusiasm. Blood gore and guts and veins in my teeth and all that. Is what they reported false? Who knows? Nobody cares. It’s not part of the process to even ask. Now do what you’re told.
From my perspective, PayPal and Co cut off funds to WikiLeaks starting 12 years ago. For the love of God are you slow learners or something? Stop enriching your enemies and pick another processor. Was 12 years not enough time to find one?
Who is the Irish Representative talking with?
And of course because: Peace, everyone in parliament boycotted her statements and went home? Like the UN and G20?
I was thinking about how to communicate the problem with famine. To get people to believe the obvious. Then I realized: this is just the Irish Famine the English used. Death of the nation, control of schools, language, culture, stealing land, wonderful high profits. Lords in Greenwich eating at fine tables all that lovely, imported food. Worked absolutely wonderfully. The Anglos truly learn well and don’t even hide it.
“According to media reports, the general’s name is Trevor Kadieu. Seven months ago, he was appointed to the post of commander of the Canadian Army, but before the inauguration, he was involved in a sex scandal. In the harassment that occurred back in 1994, he was accused by a former colleague. The general called the accusations false, but in April 2022 he retired from military service.”
April of 2022? So he was in Avozstal while being employed as a Canadian Forces commander? Or did he sneak in after he retired?
Yeah, Red, Cadieu is a weird story. George Webb in a Twitter video connected him to biolabs. Wait, here:

— MI NEWS (@SNMilitary) May 4, 2022That Nato map needs a minor correction because France was not a member of NATO in 1990.
Charles De Gaulle wanted an independent and sovereign and decided to pull the country out of the alliance as he saw that the US & Britain were setting up to dominate it. This is why the NATO headquarters is in Brussels after being effectively kicked out of France. And it wasn’t until recently (Sarkozy era) that France rejoined the alliance.
Retired General Trevol Kadier has been arrested by Russian Forces. He was in charge of a Ukrainian based US-sponsored Biolab.
Sure he was. Not saying that there weren’t any under him just that, that is an awfully high rank for looking after a lab, but then he probably has a Phd. in biology or maybe chemistry.

Since the declaration of the Covid-19 Pandemic in March, 2020, the phenomenon of “mass formation psychosis”, essentially hypnosis at population level, has become a major subject for discussion, due largely to interviews of psychiatrist Mattias Desmet. Becoming aware of it, one begins to recognize the effects of the cultivation of anxiety and mental confusion, of the steady diet of terrifying data, of constantly changing and conflicting information, of enforced compliance to shifting policies demanding physical and visual isolation.
https://www.globalresearch.ca/campaign-against-critical-thinking/5779313Greenwald’s reasoning about Roe is quite correct. I think the Ninth Amendment that grants rights not specifically enumerated elsewhere in the Bill of Rights is a good one, but using that as a basis for Roe always seemed kind of sketchy. The Ninth Amendment is useful for anti-discrimination laws (this is why the “state’s rights” trope is frequently associated with racist segregationists) and protecting negative rights (“bodily autonomy means the government can’t coerce you into getting a medical treatment you don’t want”), but I’m not so sure about using as a basis for granting new positive rights (“bodily autonomy means you have a right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy resulting from consensual sexual intercourse”).
Personally, I’m pro-choice for the first trimester of pregnancy as far as making laws is concerned, even though I think abortion in all but the most extreme cases including rape is a very serious spiritual error. Yet, I am not able to equate aborting a 12-week-old fetus with smothering a newborn baby in its crib the way conservatives do. From a legal perspective, such an equation seems an invitation to opening a Pandora’s Box of all kinds of crazy patriarchal legislation concerning fetuses in the womb. And besides, it just seems counterintuitive to any scientifically valid way of looking at the matter.
One thing is for sure, though, the militant pro-choicers are going to be very surprised and dismayed at how thoroughly they cratered their credibility where bodily autonomy is concerned by getting behind the attempt to force experimental gene-therapy on everybody!

———–That Cadieu story is probably a poorly formulated fake of some sort, … for some reason.
Cadieu, as Canadian Army senior leader (Lt.-Gen.) was almost ready to take command of the Canadian Army. He retired from the military, however, earlier – I clearly recall April 5th, per MSM reporting – as an investigation into his sexual misconduct allegations against him continued. It was an on-going saga.
After retiring, he reportedly travelled to Ukraine as a volunteer fighter. OK! … How so? That implies he travelled after April 5th.
Mariupol and Azov Battalion, at that point, was very much under siege by Russian forces. It does not make any sense, therefore, that Cadieu would be found in Mariupol at Azovstal steel plant.

semiconductor chips delivered to favoured clientshttps://www.zerohedge.com/military/russia-again-warns-any-nato-vehicle-entering-ukraine-weapons-will-be-destroyed
I can confirm that any transport from the North Atlantic alliance that arrives in the country with weapons or materiel for the Ukrainian armed forces will be considered by us as a legitimate target for destruction,” Shoigu said according to state sources.
The warning comes after the US has led the way in pumping billions in military aid to Kiev, also after this week the UK approved a fresh $375 million package. Germany has also lately approved sending heavier weaponry, though Berlin has also said its own military stockpiles are depleted and running low.Meanwhile, on Tuesday Russia launched a large number of cruise missiles apparently targeting railway and electrical infrastructure in various regions of Ukraine, including in the Western city of Lviv, knocking out power to large swathes of the city for hours overnight.
During his trip to Troy, Biden highlighted the fact that the industry has been impacted by the ongoing shortage of semiconductor chips. He noted that each Javelin missile includes about 200 semiconductors.
Some weapons can be ramped up quickly, but other weapons, like the Stinger surface-to-air missiles — the U.S. has sent over 1,400 to Ukraine — are not in production as the Army had been moving to retire the weapon.
Speaking in Troy, Biden urged Congress to pass the supplemental bill so that the U.S. and allies can replenish their stocks of weapons.Michael Hudson interview (partial transcript) posted at NC (also @ the Saker)

Did Hitler “have Jewish blood”? Sergei Lavrov has referred to that rumor as part of an argument that Ukraine can have Nazi rule with a Jewish president..
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/angry-diplomatic-row-between-israel-russia-over-hitlers-jewish-blood-remarksIn his 1953 memoir In the Face of the Gallows (published after his execution in 1946), Hitler’s lawyer Hans Frank claimed that Hitler had told him to investigate rumors of him having Jewish ancestry. Frank said Hitler showed him a letter from a nephew who threatened to reveal he had Jewish blood. Frank wrote that he found evidence that Hitler’s grandfather was Jewish and that Alois’ mother, Maria Schicklgruber, worked as a cook in the home of a wealthy Jewish family named Frankenreiter in Graz. Austria, was impregnated by a member of the family – possibly their 19-year-old son – when she was 42.
https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/was-hitler-jewishOur conversations regarding abortion need to be updated as conditions CHANGE. Like everything else, we are bombarded by extreme stories from the folks on the extremes. There is middle ground – if we would agree that reducing/eliminating the need for abortion is a worthy goal while making it safe, accessible, and private for the very few who need it. It’s not one or the other it can be both.
The facts: abortion rates in the US are steadily declining. The article linked here provides good perspective. Note: Emergency contraception appears to be the game changer. It is now readily available over the counter (most retail locations, box stores), no questions asked, priced from $10 to $49 per dose. Emergency contraception is 87% effective if taken within 5 days or less. Since 2016, availability, accessibility, and price have aligned to make this option very relevant. The impact is starting to register in the numbers – so you should expect to see even more decline in abortion rates. Traditional contraception (the pill) seems to be in the dark ages (my opinion) as there should be more choices on this front. Notice how the most effective options for preventing pregnancy place the burden of responsibility on women?
There will always be exceptions, abortion should be available as an option of last resort. Do not underestimate the mighty weight of an unplanned pregnancy – and the agony of choosing.

Russia needs to stand up to the United States and NATO in its confrontation, bringing IT to its logical conclusion, so as not to be torn between them and China, which is irrevocably becoming the leader of the world economy.

Economist, Michael Hudson (who accidentally wrote the cookbook for the petro-dollar, “Super Imperialism”, just in time for Nixon and Kissinger to use it) has a new interview out, about…
MICHAEL HUDSON… So, basically the oil companies and the US are going to let the third-world countries go into a crisis. If they default on their bonds, then the United States and the bondholders get to treat Latin America like they treated Argentina or Venezuela and grab whatever assets they have outside of their country. Like Venezuela had investments in the United States and gold that it left in the Bank of England that were grabbed.
There’s going to be a huge asset grab. That is supposed to be how this unfolds, and the most obvious assets to the grabbed are going to be in Latin America and Africa. Maybe some Asian deficit countries. So, this is the weakest link, and that’s why there’s this fight within the IMF at the upcoming meetings, to create these special drawing rights to give them money on the condition that there is a class war.
So, what we’re seeing, really, isn’t a war between NATO and Russia. It’s a class war of the neoliberals against labor across the world to establish the power of finance over labor.
AARON MATÉ: And so, do you think that there’s a threat of an even worse hunger crisis in this world, one that we’re not talking about and should be preparing for it?
MICHAEL HUDSON: A threat? That’s the objective! Yes, of course. That’s what they’re aiming at. If you read what Klaus Schwab says at the World Economic Forum, he said there are 20 percent too many people in the world, especially in the Global South. This is what all the big foundations are for. What we are seeing in the world now is a global shock to oil prices, fertilizer prices and food staple prices, as Professor Hudson points out. Countries in “the global south” will not be able to feed their citizens and also make debt-payments, so they will be forced into default and the $US empire will set about to take their assets, whether owned by the countries or their wealthy elites.
Professor Hudson projects that the IMF will give out SDRs (special drawing rights), IMF-money to compliant regimes, which will be required to carry out “class warfare”, to strip their citizens of the food they need to live,and their nationalized industries, like Venezuela’s oil industry.
Those countries which do not comply will be in default, and will be subject to the direct predation of the $US empire.
That appears to be the plan. It has worked before, but this deflationary-asset-grabhas not really been run since the Asian Economic Crisis.
The world is “Multipolar” now.
What we already see from Russia and China, as well as other major countries like India, Iran, Brazil and likely Turkey and South Africa, is the preparation to formalize a parallel global trade system, which will allow countries to repudiate $US debts to the IMF and western banking, and to militarily resist assaults and invasions upon national assets, like oil fields.
Russia and China will not hold default on $US loans against countries in this new arrangement, and will recognize their ownership of their nationalized assets, like Peru’s lithium mines. It appears that the critical mass exists to create this parallel global trade regime outside of the $US wealth-extraction-system.
If this system is able to persist, after being tried in some asset-wars, where the western empire attempts to grab things like oil-wells and mines, then the $US empire will be forced into collapse. This is not in the distant future, but in the next few years.
History shows that when people do not have enough food, they are much more warlike as populations. Rulers have typically turned hungry populations to war against other hungry populations, which protects the (winning side) rulers from their hungry subjects.
It seems likely that some of this will be tested in America and other western countries, to get more emotional fervor for the WAR! narrative, which is already being pumped. We should find ways to avoid becoming desperately hungry. It will help us to think more clearly and have more freedom to make our own choices.
Personally, I think it is time for massive global debt-forgiveness at all levels and a fresh economic start, without widespread debt slavery. We need to fashion an efficient economy to meet the needs of real people everywhere, or a lot of smaller systems which can trade fairly with each other.
This will be bad for all “assets” which pay out interest and dividends, bad for retirement plans, but mostly bad for global financial elites.Sergey Glazyev, a Russian economist, tasked to roll-out the global financial alternative system has this:
For those who still don’t understand
This (western) plan also provides for the following tasks:
Consolidation of US control over the European Union and NATO countries;
Use of the armed forces of Poland, Romania and the Baltic states, as well as mercenaries from the West, the Middle East and the Middle East in combat operations against Russia;
The destruction of the male population and the actual enslavement of women and children of Ukraine for the subsequent development of this territory in the interests of the power and financial elite of the United States, Britain and Israel.
The implementation of this plan, in fact, is aimed at destroying the Russian world, followed by the American “deep state” plans to destroy Iran and block China.
Due to the objective laws of global economic development, this plan is doomed to failure. The United States will not be able to win the global hybrid war it has unleashed to maintain its global hegemony. They are irrevocably losing it to China, which is rapidly strengthening as a result of anti-Russian sanctions.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced plans for a phased ban on all Russian oil by the end of the year.
Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told the European Parliament this would be “a complete import ban on all Russian oil, seaborne and pipeline, crude and refined.”
“We will make sure that we phase out Russian oil in an orderly fashion, in a way that allows us and our partners to secure alternative supply routes and minimises the impact on global markets,” she said.
“This is why we will phase out Russian supply of crude oil within six months and refined products by the end of the year.”

Seated in the catacombs under the Mariupol steel plant “Azovstal” nationalists staged a provocation, trying to hide the Canadian general’s attempt to escape. After the capture of a high-ranking foreign soldier by units of the RF Armed Forces, it became clear why so many efforts were made to save him.
A high-ranking mercenary tried to break out of the encirclement at Azovstal several times. It was for this that the West insisted on humanitarian corridors for the exit of civilians: among them, foreign specialists had to leave the catacombs.

It does not make laws, but interprets constitutional meaning and intent, as they relate to laws or rights of American citizens, when questions arise. This protects the rights of citizens who are in the minority.
The Irrational, Misguided Discourse Surrounding Supreme Court Controversies Such as Roe v. Wade
Politico on Monday night published what certainly appears to be a genuine draft decision by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito that would overturn the Court’s 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade. Alito’s draft ruling would decide the pending case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which concerns the constitutionality of a 2018 Mississippi law that bans abortions after fifteen weeks of pregnancy except in the case of medical emergency or severe fetal abnormalities. Given existing Supreme Court precedent that abortion can only be restricted after fetal viability, Mississippi’s ban on abortions after the 15th week — at a point when the fetus is not yet deemed viable — is constitutionally dubious. To uphold Mississippi’s law — as six of the nine Justices reportedly wish to do — the Court must either find that the law is consistent with existing abortion precedent, or acknowledge that it conflicts with existing precedent and then overrule that precedent on the ground that it was wrongly decided.....Draft rulings and even justices’ votes sometimes change in the period between the initial vote after oral argument and the issuance of the final decision. Depending on whom you choose to believe, this leak is either the work of a liberal justice or clerk designed to engender political pressure on the justices so that at least one abandons their intention to overrule Roe, or it came from a conservative justice or clerk, designed to make it very difficult for one of the justices in the majority to switch sides...
..One of the primary concerns in designing the new American republic, if not the chief concern, was how to balance the need to establish rule by the majority (democracy) with the equally compelling need to restrain majorities from veering into impassioned, self-interested attacks on the rights of minorities (republican government)... The point of the Constitution, and ultimately the Supreme Court, was to establish a republic, not a pure democracy, that would place limits on the power of majorities... Thus, in the U.S., it does not matter if 80% or 90% of Americans support a law to restrict free speech, or ban the free exercise of a particular religion, or imprison someone without due process, or subject a particularly despised criminal to cruel and unusual punishment. Such laws can never be validly enacted.

Efficacy and Safety of Vitamin D Supplementation to Prevent COVID-19 in Frontline Healthcare Workers. A Randomized Clinical TrialResults
Of 321 recruited subjects, 94 VDG and 98 PG completed follow-up. SARS-CoV-2 infection rate was lower in VDG than in PG (6.4 vs. 24.5%, p <0.001). The risk of acquiring SARS-CoV-2 infection was lower in the VDG than in the PG (RR: 0.23; 95% CI: 0.09–0.55) and was associated with an increment in serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (RR: 0.87; 95% CI: 0.82–0.93), independently of VD deficiency.

52 years ago today. That was back when we used to think they couldn’t kill us all, nor would they even try. How little we knew.

@Figmund Sreud: Thanks for the Moon of Alabama investigation of Sergey Lavrov’s apparently offhand remark :
” I may be mistaken but Adolf Hitler had Jewish blood, too. This means absolutely nothing. The wise Jewish people say that the most ardent anti-Semites are usually Jews. “Every family has its black sheep” …How many skins hath this onion?
..Mr. Lapid said that Mr. Lavrov’s comments were “both an unforgivable and outrageous statement as well as a terrible historical error.”
“Jews did not murder themselves in the Holocaust,” he added. “The lowest level of racism against Jews is to accuse Jews themselves of antisemitism.” …..It seems to me that Lavrov has that one right. It really seems that Adolf Hitler had some Jewish ancestors who even paid for the upbringing of his father.
Now onto the other issue, Lavrov’s claim that:
.. the most ardent anti-Semites are usually Jews. “Every family has its black sheep,” as we say.
Yair Lapid does not agree with that. Well, his father didn’t either until, to his embarrassment, some new facts proved him wrong. There is for example the well known case of Rudolf Kasztner in which Lapid’s father was involved.@ Mr. House
