Pablo Picasso Maison 1931 • Sweden Joins Finland In NATO bid, Ending 200 Years Of Non-Alignment (Week) • Why Russia’s Oil Ban Is Impossible (Vi
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle May16 2022]Fact: There’s a shortage of fossil fuel derived products (and several other raw materials and basic goods.)
If you enjoy wasting time in speculative matters, you can ponder:
– Are fossil fuels (with an EROI>1) reaching an end?
– Do TPTB have a vested interest in curtailing the supply of fossil fuels (and other basic goods)?What are you going to do about it?
Keep on whining?What to do?
At this point in time you have three major options (all else is small potatoes, and a stupid waste of time). Let me outline those for you:Option a) You are an extremely wealthy person; you recruit an army, hire someone to train the army, equip it and off your army go to build a nation/empire for you: you kill your enemies, kill their sons, rape their daughters and erect the land of Love & Prosperity or the home of Evil & Usury, it doesn’t matter which: your nation will thrive, reach a plateau, and collapse. End of story.
Option b) You’re friends with an extremely wealthy person; you talk your rich friend into recruiting an army, training the army and so on and so forth, your friend’s empire will thrive, yada-yada-yada, collapse. End of story. (Don’t forget to make the necessary arrangements to nail a cushy job in your friend’s empire; you’ll risk becoming a sycophant – aka doormat – but hey, that’s life, right?)
Option c) Prepare to face the demise at peace with yourself and, if you are of a religious disposition, with your Maker.
In short: You can
a) build your own nation, the nation of your dreams;
b) join the army of your dreams;
c) wake up.If you are reading this, then stop fooling yourself: option c) is the only worthwhile thing to do. Paraphrasing John Michael Greer, wake up now and avoid the rush later. Better still if it can be done peacefully and on one’s own terms.
Radical acceptance: accept death – yours, and of the people and things you love.
Truth is we don’t know The Truth.
The Tao’s ineffable.
God’s within, yet out of reach.
Not much to talk about, if you can’t accept this.Sweet fantasies,
sour realities,
unless lemonade’s
your thing.Pablo Picasso Maison 1931
That Picasso is lovely…colorful…the symbolism used in the detail reminds me of a Japanese style that uses lines that allow the viewer to fill in the details…
Like we have seen any uncontaminated data so far!
“Know too, that under the terms of the treaty, the WHO does not – does not – have to show any data to legitimise its conclusions or decisions.”This animation is so worth watching my people
Oxy; I usually enjoy your comments; but this vid is just more of the ongoing litany of garbage “showing” us our predicament”…and I’m bored of it…
I left 20 years ago because I saw where we were; and where we we’re going…
Talking to the masses is just so much rhetoric and a waste of precious energy…they only respond to despots…After 2-5 years of pure Woke, (literally, site reviews said “WTF happened to that guy?”) cartoonist back into the core:
https://sinfest.xyz/btphp/comics/2022-05-16.jpgYes, you’re supposed to make fun of everybody. If you’re not, it’s partisan propaganda and somebody isn’t thinking.
Psaki: I’m lost. Exactly half are good things. So tough, masculine leaders are going to make us prosperous again so working kids can afford a house? “Sold!,” I think?
This is where just so much of what’s happening seems to be some sort of Stage Theatre, where Biden says exact thing on F-Stan a day before leaving, then trips up the stairs 3x. Psaki says something and reverses it daily. Tells reporters on camera she can’t believe this s–t. In a studio made to look like the White House. If gas is $7 we shut off oil pipes. We have $40B for Nazis but $0 for baby formula. They go on TV to sell at-birth abortions. About 4-5 of these events a day. You can’t really think this is a working sales pitch, but only to Twitter bots, – bots in the sense they are people who have stopped thinking and repeat slogans from whoever paid Madison Avenue last. I mean, I know to break the spell, the cult behavior, they need to find some event or contrast that makes them say, “Hey, maybe I’m not really going to levitate from Earth 2 to comet Hale-Bopp and meet channeled alien-angel Hunk-Ra in my basement, and what’s this Kool-aid in my hand?”, but this is ridiculous. Also ridiculous they set upon and attacked the mothers and the outlets reporting the formula shortage and not, I dunno, authorized monopolies or an administration approving of it all.
Nevertheless, a huge swath would say having the man go work a hard, dangerous job so you can raise the kids with toys and food and breast milk, in a paid-for house while binging Netflix, is truly the most terrible fate a woman or family could endure. Clearly living in the Pod and eating the bugs is FAR superior. …While the exact same time Instagramming “CottageCore”, their partner, their new apron and recipes, with retro-styling of the 50s.
So I’m saying they will say they want A, B, and C, and this would get it for them, they then say “no!” “Never you racist pig-dog!” While that very moment trying to get all the things they just said no to. No wonder they’re confused and can’t make headway, and it’s no accident. And self-hating. Guilt is the key. Guilt is one of the master-levers, just ask the Catholic Church.
“The WHO has planned for 10 years of pandemics”.
Great! Did they tell the people or the nurses? Because both are totally done. One won’t obey rules anymore, the other apparently quit nationwide. So no “pandemic”, “Lockdown” because no social enforcement anymore of legal mandates no one passed, no one believes “15 Days” since they’re violent liars, and will move to South Dakota now, fleeing Brooklyn. At the same time, no support from the hospitals which are staffed with 90% Administrators and no Health Care Workers, so you’re not going to get a narrative out of them either, and if you try the old “Heroes” line, “Support Our Troops”, they’ll protest up your -ss for failure to provide…anything. Masks, tubing, hours, bodies, money…anything. Point the camera over there and all you’ll see now are Admins sucking lattes in their PJs and socking 6 digit incomes while half the beds are closed and grandma died in the hall.
Good luck, jokers.
“When Pandemic Strikes, Everyone Is Vulnerable”.
…Everyone over 75 with 5 existing health conditions that is. And of course “15 Months without food, to stop the spread” as they are enamored with Chinese “success” at “zero tolerance.” “North Korea is our hero and goal!” — NY Times
“Sweden Joins Finland in NATO bid, Ending 200 Years of Non-Alignment (Week)”
To me, that says they are Pro-War. STRONGLY pro-war. Odd, since I don’t have that impression of all the other countries that haven’t, I dunno, taken that vow, I guess? A vow of neutrality, of Conscientious Objector status? If your Kung-fu master breaks his vow of neutrality and comes out of retirement, the next scenes are not generally him placidly drinking tea on the veranda.
NATO Maps: You forgot the Pacific. Austin said they are moving NATO throughout the whole Pacific and including Oz.
“Why Russia’s Oil Ban Is Impossible (Vilches)”
Politicians don’t know how anything works. But their handlers do and know it will definitely kill everyone. …Which is why they hired the politicians in the first place: to take the fall in rotation and be hung if necessary. They write whole papers on it, except everyone is illiterate. The WEF helpfully makes videos instead, demonstrating their plans to own everything and rent it to you, as you own nothing. And put Western law and principles under the strongest attack in memory. If they used different color icons and better stock photos would you finally believe them?
“There simply is not enough LNG around to meet demand.”
You are kidding right? LNG is what, 5%? The U.S. and NATO were supposed to conquer Russia so they never built the ships or plants. But they’re life-long serial failures who would cut off milk to babies and blame the mothers on TV, so obviously they didn’t.
“McConnell Urges Biden to Name Russia a State Sponsor of Terrorism (Hill)”
This is why we don’t make fun of Republicans. What can you add to that? They speak for themselves. Let’s see: no water, no gas, no formula in the country, you can blame it all on the other Party, and instead join up with them as bestest pals and send the most corrupt nation on earth $40B every 30 days. Nope, I’ve got nothing to add to that. Carry on with free speech so everyone can know exactly who you are.
“ Russian Lawmaker Says Poland Next in Line for ‘De-Nazification’ (ET)”
Sadly, Poland generally says these things and has continuously for 100 years. Remember the U.S. official, was it Brennan?, who said Russians are violent barbarians, they can’t help it, it’s their DNA? Racism is good when we do it. So long as your racism is against the “bad” people, the “Other.”
Still, looking for that “Massive Russian Propaganda Machine” unless he means “people who have opinions I don’t like.”
“Is Diplomacy Between Russia and the West Still Possible? (Haass)”
This is a comment on the 50 IQ of the normal citizen. All wars end with diplomacy. Therefore, if diplomacy is not possible, not an option, we have a forever war, that will also be with every body. (Western) Citizens broadly agree with this, and are therefore Pro-war, and Pro-fighting, pro-killing, everyone forever. Russia, who as policy always keeps dialogue open, is stupid, weak, and bad. Talking to people: hahahaha! What morons! We never talk to people, we TELL them: DO WHAT YOU’RE TOLD. Or else.
“Although Ukraine’s fundamental interest is to end the war and prevent more death and destruction,”…he is ordering Russia to surrender all 12 time zones to him, and give up Crimea and their only warm water port. Or else.
Yeah, that sounds totally reasonable and he is serious about his “fundamental interest” to Ukraine and it’s people.
“There is little chance that a peace could be negotiated that would bridge the gap between these two seemingly irreconcilable positions.”
He is totally crazy. This war was the easiest to prevent in the history of the planet. No one in Crimea wants to be ruled by the most corrupt nation on earth. Don’t murder 10,000 of your own people in Donbass. Don’t put nukes 5 min from Moscow. Now let’s go have syrniki and tea. You won’t have to kill 200,000 Ukrainian men, purging the whole nation of Slavs for a generation, which they have now accomplished. Good job as Ukraine is now powerless to the influence of the EU, extracted and unable to defend themselves.
“[Covid] opened the door to a new “fourth turning”.”
This is difficult to say, compared to theory. Is it not 2000? Late 2001? GFC 2008? I’d start in the 90s at least, and probably before. Where does this 4th Turning begin?
What will happen? Where will we go? I’ll vote for “devolution”, “relocalization”, because they will have no energy, no power, and no legitimacy to tell anyone what to do. That much I can see, and actually that would be a return to American principles. What happens next can’t been seen then, because it is local, what happens next is only the question, “Happens Where?” The Mississippi Delta or the Pacific North West? If the nation is “One thing”, we can guess where that one thing is headed, badly. If the nation is about 550 things, not so easy, and probably no one can either predict it or guide it. You can still do your own knitting though.
“they have long deployed “studies designed or conducted to fail” and/or “studies manipulated to show positive results.” They do both. Repeatedly. They then publish these studies in a small number of captured high-impact scientific journals which influence the captured media and then are recommended for or against by captured health agencies.”
Definition of a “Simulacrum”. The problem being if you have one, a fake, robotic prop, they displace the real alternative that might do the mission claimed by the impostor. This makes them dangerous if not fatal, as exampled by hospital-shaped objects that now have no staff, and increasingly no supplies.
“The guy who made available his Space-X’s Starlink satellite system to provide a besieged Ukraine with internet access amid Russia’s invasion of that country – is “not so bright” and a pawn of “the far-right.”
Because they have no association with the truth whatsoever. They just say things that win power that minute. Yet can never be discredited as their audience are all liars too.
“You cannot let these guys control discourse in this country or we are headed to hell. We are there.”
I totally agree. However, “These guys” to me means “anyone.” Including me. It’s easy to see that position is in the right because if I win, I leave you alone and you get everything. However, if you win, the entire world, every single human but you, must be oppressed with force and brought to heel. Do you really think you can do that? That would work?
““You are being manipulated by the algorithm in ways you do not realize … “
Musk’s point as subcontractor the White Hats is merely to grab the bullhorn and advertise the obvious widely. Even if he didn’t finish buying, he has already accomplished a lot in this.
“[Bots and fakes] might be over 90 percent of daily active users.”
I guarantee that is true, and not just there. It was cake to collect the latest confessional “My brother did X, Y, Z, and that’s why [insert political slogan here]” 5, 10, 20 times on virtually every media cycle rollout. If it’s so common us normal humans can see it, imagine how common such bots accounts actually are.
“Leaked Emails Expose Secret Intelligence Coup to Install Boris Johnson (GZ)”
Election tampering in their own country for a change of pace. I was afraid BoJo was moved on the chessboard from “authorized opposition” to “under direct control” and that has proven out. As soon as London got the EU’s gold, they left. Hey Europe: how is this not a heist? Because you don’t want to admit you’re a bunch of fools?
“supplanting EU authority with more substantial US oversight.”
Sure, except that we know from at least 50 years, plus the Steele report that Britain “runs” or rather directs the idiot-giant-bully U.S., who then back-directs the U.K. lackeys. So it’s MI6 all the way down, there and here. Or as they accurately say, “wealthy financiers, representatives of the military and defense establishment, and intelligence officials.” The Club. The inbred Derp State.
Force Vaccines? Passports? Censoring? Cutting off bank accounts and food? Disinformation! Ban everybody!
If bans are lifelong, no appeal, surely CNN, NPR, BBC, NBC have all been banned by now. “Weapons of Mass Destruction and ties to al-qaeda”, “Yellowcake” “Mushroom clouds”, “RussiaRussiaRussia.” “I did not have sex with that woman.”
In this life, each person is allowed to be as selfish and mean as they want, and this causes them to eventually separate themselves from everyone else so that they finally live in complete isolation, wrapped up in their own thoughts of everybody else’s faults and failures.
As we draw into ourselves and become more and more separated we destroy our families, friendships, and health. There is an end to the choices we make.
Realizing that death to me, myself and I stops this process of separation so that we can finally see ourselves and others as we really are, offer forgiveness and be forgiven. Fear of physical death will no longer hold power over you.
Dr. D “What will happen? Where will we go? I’ll vote for “devolution”, “relocalization”, because they will have no energy, no power, and no legitimacy to tell anyone what to do.”
Legitimacy? TPTB haven’t any now and aren’t trying to change that opinion. I know most still seem to be hypnotized, I think that is wearing off now as well.
I’ve long said, (since the eighties at least), to any willing to listen that when the high return FF i.e. diesel start to show signs of diminishing that the plebes will have to go without first and long before the MIC runs out. If the supply is already tight and forecast to run near to out by mid century why would TPTB let the useless ones go to the movies in their new ICE vehicle while the tanks and APC’s can’t move? Look back, way back, the peasants didn’t have work horses but the knights of the realm had war horses to stomp the useless ones back in line. Farming is the same, all that food isn’t worth the diesel when most aren’t even with us anymore, or soon to be the dearly departed! A lot less diesel, fertilizer, farmland and water will be needed when the global population is somewhere between 200 million and one billion. I know those numbers sound unbelievable but if you start doing calculations on what is sustainable with what isn’t degraded beyond function one billion will be a challenge due to numerous issues that have already been created and will be with the planets surface for some time to come.Although the incremental annihilation of advanced civilization can be alarming to witness, losing it is not worth getting one’s panties all up in a bunch over, for a bunch of reasons.
First of all, except for the specters of injury and death (which, realistically, are not escapable in either case) the only things one stands to lose in returning to basics are the baubles and addictions that weren’t good for them to start with.
For examples, most of that “instant effortless pleasure on demand” on offer from Technoland is proactively harmful to our truly best interests. It is, after all, not good for anyone to become weak, unhealthy, stupid, over-dependent, or incapable of the skills of basic survival (like food, shelter, clothing. cooperation and self-defense !) . . . all of which are the natural consequence of letting other people do what people ought better to be doing for themselves. Really.
Not only is such laziness debilitating, but it yields no personal growth, advancement or ascendance. No sense or pride of accomplishment. No self or other esteem. When the external supply stops, the recipient is left in a state of actually being LESS than they were when the freebies started. Give a Ferrari to an idiot and the result is an idiot in a Ferrari, who forgets how to walk.
All the glitz and gadgets are entertaining, sure, and let’s not overlook the huge doses of drug-like pleasure from constructions that are so exotically complicated (Ferraris !) that folks could not replicate them on their own if their lives depended on it (which could happen, ya know?). But there is not much personal gain in waiting for the next cool (and externally supplied) “thing”. About the only thing learned from waiting is learning how to wait.
Hands-on life is actually LIFE! Substantial, vivid and gratifying. The civilized simulation is thin, vapid and inadequate. The real stuff is so much more satisfying. The thin stuff will never suffice again.
Real life! Try it, you’ll like it (if you live) which might be the whole point and purpose in the first place.

The Real Reason Behind the EU’s Drive to Embargo Russian Oil
May 12, 2022
Author: Tom LuongoBecause Brussels and their behind-the-scenes backers absolutely want this ban on Russian oil as much as the U.S. and the UK want it. It is part of their long-term strategy to bleed Russia out, after turning Ukraine into Afghanistan 2.0.
What is unfolding now is a script that was written a long time ago. The war by the West against Russia has long been in the planning stages.The Russians understand this better than many are willing to accept. Their leadership, Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, have articulated this very clearly at every stage of the war to date.
They are under no illusions about where the West and Davos are willing to take this conflict, which is why they have made serious threats about striking out at the real “decision centers” who give the Ukrainian Armed Forces their marching orders.
These are warnings not to our politicians, but to us. This is where things lead.

Today, I am going to drive home the point that the coming CBDC prison is truly global in nature by demonstrating that it is not just being put into place in one or two totalitarian countries, but nearly every country in the world. Only when we recognize how dire the situation is can we hope to motivate communities to implement the survival currencies that will see us through the controlled demolition of the existing monetary order.
“I really do like your commentary content BUT please define terms before switching acronyms because it takes too damn long for me to Google them.

On Why Russia’s oil ban is impossible. Vilches.
What is meant is, I suppose, why Europe cannot reasonably ban the import of Russian FFs, fossil fuels.
Well it isn’t *impossible.* Never underestimate loopy incompetent EU pols.
However, the EU does not have the legislative powers, as far as I understand it, to prevent EU countries from importing FFs from Russia, or any other place, or shunting it around amongst themselves, or others, like Ukraine. (Talk of embargo does not equal physical bans.)
So they are grandstanding and making a lot of screechy noise!
Energy products are difficult to transport and bring to the end-user, so much depends on territorial rights (> tariffs) + existing infrastructure and logistics (pipelines, refineries, shipping, ports, trucking, distribution down to the narrow arteries, quality control, and on and on.. all subject to difficulties in major upsets, or times of war..) — the whole system is very vulnerable to any kind of disturbance.
So the EU throws a hissy fit about rubles-for-oil, and screams weaponization, unfair, NO WAY, etc. Then it is forced to backtrack, some say yikes, maybe, ouch, what else can we do, etc. and *in fine* the EU finds a bogus way round the sanctions they themselves imposed!
They sign contracts in rubles and then publish a decree that they consider the transaction ‘over’, ‘concluded’, once they paid in their euros and dollars. Pure symbolic face-saving, and it is not done for the public, or diplomacy, but for self-justification by the deciders!
The arrogance and stupidity is beyond belief.

Yes it did! All things headed toward singularity? Just the way TPTB want it. So long as they get to describe the singularity.
P.S. (Had to throw in another acronym for fun!)It seems strange that so many EU leaders and others are so willing to damage or even destroy their economies just to have a limited impact on Russia. It is obvious that it does not matter to them, the people of the EU are no consequence.
Also worrying is that their actions are ensuring no food from Ukraine or Russia. It also means no essential fertiliser from Russia, and they also stopped potash from Belarus. It almost seems like they are deliberately creating a shortage of food in the EU!
What is driving them? Are the people of the EU the real target of their actions?
@Red: Thanks for the “useless people” insights. It goes well with the CBDC (central bank digital currency) article from Michael Reid. One might merely diminish the “useless people”, keeping their accounts viable for purchase of drugs and video games, but not things which might be in shortage that month…
like food and fuel.“The masses” = “useless people” per future-visionary Harari, if I understand him correctly.
He is purely working with intellectually abstracted constructs, and comes to the logical conclusions which he explains. This is not fully human, is it?I have been meaning to comment that Klaus Schwab appears to me to be a high-functioning “submissive”. The “You’ll own nothing and be happy” appeals to “submissives”. There are not that many pure submissives.
You might never have had a frank explanation from a high-functioning submissive.
They do not generally talk about it, but Dominants and Submissives are on a continuum of understanding.
I do not really understand it. I cannot really enter that continuum.
It does not seem that one can really fake it to real doms and submissives.(Picture of “finished attic” shortly before installation of doors, AC unit and final 5 rolls of fiberglass insulation last week. This building has a “passive-cooling” effect where the downstairs is 82F when only the upstairs windows are open , it is 97F at 5PM and the AC has been off for 2 days.)

The war in Ukraine, extremely bizarre weather patterns, nightmarish plagues and a historic fertilizer crisis have combined to create a “perfect storm” that isn’t going away any time soon. As a result, the food that won’t be grown in 2022 will become an extremely severe global problem by the end of this calendar year. Global wheat prices have already risen by more than 40 percent since the start of 2022, but this is just the beginning. Meanwhile, we are facing unthinkable diesel fuel shortages in the United States this summer, and as you will see below there are “no plans” to increase refining capacity in this country for the foreseeable future.
Now We Are Being Told To Expect Food And Diesel Shortages For The Foreseeable Future
“Genius”t future-trends advisor to WEF’s Klaus Schwab, Yuval Noah Harari was recently interviewed. He explained himself clearly and well. Here are A-V clips and transcribed excerpts, which are worthy of a few minutes of deep our comprehension. (Do “useless people” have to go to the back of the food line?) Thanks Red:
“Again, I think the biggest question in maybe in economics and politics of the coming decades will be what to do with all these useless people?
The problem is more boredom and how what to do with them and how will they find some sense of meaning in life, when they are basically meaningless, worthless?

Total US debt is at $90 trillion. US unfunded liabilities are at $169 trillion. Combined that’s $778,000 per US citizen or $2,067,000 per US tax payer.
Remember, the only way the Government can operate now is by printing more money. Which means hyperinflation is inevitable…
Let’s do the math:
US total debt
$90 trillion
US unfunded liabilities
$169 trillion
Total

Minus all US assets
$193 trillion

While we are all familiar with Sun Tzu, the Chinese general, military strategist and philosopher who penned the incomparable Art of War, less known is the Strategikon, the Byzantium equivalent on warfare.
Sixth century Byzantium really needed a manual, threatened as it was from the east, successively by Sassanid Persia, Arabs and Turks, and from the north, by waves of steppe invaders, Huns, Avars, Bulgars, semi-nomadic Turkic Pechenegs and Magyars.
Byzantium could not prevail just by following the classic pattern of Roman Empire raw power – they simply didn’t have the means for it.
So military force needed to be subordinate to diplomacy, a less costly means of avoiding or resolving conflict. And here we can make a fascinating connection with today’s Russia, led by President Vladimir Putin and his diplomacy chief Sergei Lavrov.
But when military means became necessary for Byzantium – as in Russia’s Operation Z – it was preferable to use weaponry to contain or punish adversaries, instead of attacking with full force.

https://colleenhuber.substack.com/p/covid-vaccines-may-rival-or-exceed/comments?s=r#comment-2894742Twitter “Bot-gate”: Musk counterpunches hard.
The controversy began on Friday after Musk tweeted a Reuters article in which Twitter estimated that fake accounts comprise less than 5% of users, to which Musk said “Twitter deal temporarily on hold pending details supporting calculation that spam/fake accounts do indeed represent less than 5% of users,” then added “Still committed to acquisition.”…
Update (1426ET): Speaking virtually at the “All In” summit tech conference, Musk speculated that at minimum, Twitter is ‘20% bots,’ before asking rhetorically whether it was potentially 80-90% bots.
He added that there’s ‘no way’ to know the actual number of bots on the platform…
This sent Twitter CEO Parag Agrwal into meltdown mode – posting a 14-part thread to “talk about spam,” with “the benefit of data, facts, and context.” ..
Update (1447ET): Is the Twitter deal dead? Musk seemed to suggest it was, unless he can buy the company for a lower price in light of ‘bot-gate’ which erupted over the weekend.
… Musk said that a viable deal for Twitter is “not out of the question,” but at a lower price...
Shares of Twitter are now at pre-acquisition rumor levels, trading below Musk’s initial purchase basis.This war is becoming very counterproductive. it seems Putin may have been baited into the situation he currently finds himself in. Most of the world is against him. China won’t pivot anymore than they have. XI’s and Putin’s power over their respective countries is eroding with each passing day. Everybody should go home and and rely on propaganda to declare a great victory.
Upcoming FDA meetings in regards to Covid vaccine authorizations.
June 7, Novavax in adults.
June 8, Moderna in 12 to 17 year olds.
June 21, Moderna in kids 6 to 11 and 0 to 5.
June 22, Pfizer in kids <5.
June 28, “Future Framework” for Covid-19 shots.
The “Future Framework” means that Pfizer and Moderna can reformulate Covid-19 shots however they wish, and the FDA will not require new clinical trial data. Instead the FDA will automatically deem any future Covid-19 formulation as “safe and effective” because it is “biologically similar” to existing Covid-19 shots on the market.
11th circuit heard oral arguments for Federal Contractor Vaccine Mandate April 8th. Still haven’t issued a ruling. Hmmm.

16 May, 2022 23:01Ukraine orders Azovstal fighters to surrender
Units have “completed the assigned combat mission”, Kiev claims
A large portion of them are members of the Neo-Nazi ‘Azov regiment.’ The military uniforms of the group feature Nazi insignia and its members have been photographed with tattoos of symbols such as the swastika. Its first commander Andrey Biletsky has said he believes it’s Ukraine’s mission to “lead the white races of the world in a final crusade… against Semite-led Untermenschen [inferior humans]”.
The first stage of surrender was completed on Monday. 264 soldiers left Azovstal. There are now 53 wounded servicemen in a hospital in Novoazovsk and 211 soldiers in Yelenovka, both of which are part of the Donetsk People’s Republic.
According to the Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Anna Malyar and the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, those who surrender will be exchanged for Russian prisoners of war, taken captive by Kiev. However, the terms of the exchange have not yet been decided.“Upcoming FDA meetings in regards to Covid vaccine authorizations.
June 7, Novavax in adults…”Some background and data from the clinical trials for the Novavax injection:
Novavax – hope or hype?
https://robynchuter.substack.com/p/novavax-hope-or-hype?s=rDoes Russia have the equivalence of The Mossad to Hunt For Nazis,
Lots of new modern clues of ID will be on file before the prisoners are released/traded.
Foreign fighters should not be allowed to be freed.
All the rest should be swapped in a 1 for 1 basis, except for known Azov criminal combatants.Here is same from aljazeera

Russia-Ukraine live news: Kyiv says troops leaving Mariupol plant
Ukrainian deputy defence minister says more than 260 troops evacuated from besieged Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol.Manipulating people into compliance by using disgusting images:
“It’s time to be disgusting about COVID-19… We propose that a disgust-inducing public health campaign will be more effective than current approaches.. Among unvaccinated conservative participants, disgusting images significantly increased willingness to be vaccinated compared to less disgusting images of COVID-19 or perks offered for COVID-19 vaccines. Using disgusting images for public health messaging has the potential to improve compliance among conservatives and accelerate the end of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S.”

The Ukrainians have been receiving replacement equipment from Nato and the US.
The Prez of the Ukraine has decreed that no one is allowed to make any negative comments about the poor quality of the new old replacement equipment from the west.The Ukrainian Nazis are now waiting to receive the west’s wonder weapons to save them.
Now where have I heard that statement before?
Oh yeah, the WW2 German Nazis said that too before losing the war!Do you do/say all of these things when you are winning the war?
Today there was some talk of the wounded being evacuated from the Mariupol steel plant’s tunnels but not by the UN. Rumor has it 51 Ukrainian wounded were evacuated. Another rumor said these were from a small group trapped apart from the main body of the trapped Neo-Nazis. This has allowed them to make their own decision.
Later there have been reports that the neo-nazis in Mariupol had surrendered but that seems misleading. Another report said 300 wounded have been evacuated by bus. Confusion reigns for now.
Doc Robinson:
Thanks for the info on the Novavax.
My wife has been hoping to get this vax buying the propaganda that it is safer.
I have been telling her none of the vaccines are safe and to forget about getting vaxxed.
It is clear the Novavax is not safe.
It has spike proteins in it and effects DNA.
Safety studies are very suspect.
This company has never ever successfully brought a product to market before.
Bill Gates involvement is the ultimate “kiss of death”!A short clip from 2015 with English subtitles. Evil.
