Vance second: post-ozempic thinned out Marine E-4 (cynical way to attain the bonafides that impress certain people) is the epitome of Psychopath, high functioning and it’s manifested in that cold, empty stare into the camera. Y’all think that psychopath is looking at you, speaking to you.

Israelis Leave Shelters After Iranian Attack Of 180 Ballistic Missiles; IDF Says Preparing To Hit Back
Summary:
Iran says its action is concluded “unless the Israeli regime decides to invite further retaliation.”
Prime Minister Netanyahu says Iran made a big mistake tonight and will pay for it.
Common estimates show the attack on Israel involved at least 180 ballistic missiles. The Pentagon says about 200, or about twice the size of the prior April attack.
The waves of launches constituted the largest missile strike on Israel by Iran in history.
IRGC is claiming that 90% of missiles successfully hit their targets in Israel.
There were confirmed strikes on the ground, but no official casualties reported.
Israel’s emergency authorities have lifted all restrictions, and people in Tel Aviv have emerged from bomb shelters and returned to the streets.
White House says Iranian attack on Israel apparently “defeated and ineffective”.
Sullivan says there will be consequences for the attack, and US is consulting Israel on next steps or a potential response
Axios’ Barak Ravid has told CNN that he expects major Israeli retaliation strikes on Iran to come within the next several hours.
Iranian state TV says hypersonic Fatah missiles were used in the attack.
Iran’s President on X stated he does not seek war but will face any threat from Israel firmly.
Iran has said it gave no prior warning to US, but it did consult with Russia.
The IDF is vowing to ‘strike powerfully’ at targets in the Middle East.
IDF spox: “Iran carried out a serious act tonight and is pushing the Middle East to an escalation. We will act at the place and time of our choosing, in accordance with the guidance of the political echelon.”
IDF spox: “Tonight’s event will have consequences.”
Iran-backed Iraqi militias say if the US takes part in “any hostile action” then US bases will come under attack.
UN chief condemns ‘broadening Mideast conflict’ without mentioning Iran.
Blinken: Iran’s missile attack on Israel ‘unacceptable,’ entire world should condemn.
US says it is ready to defend Israel, with Biden ordering US military assets to confront any further inbound projectiles.
At least two guided-missile destroyers in Eastern Mediterranean fired interceptors at inbound Iranian missiles.
Pentagon says about a dozen interceptor missiles were fired.
Pentagon refuses to say whether US will join in on future kinetic strikes against Iran. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/white-house-warns-iran-imminently-launch-ballistic-missiles-israel Simplicius, Operation True Promise 2: Iran Strikes Again as Missile Barrage Overwhelms Israeli Defenses
Watch the above videos of hundreds of missiles hitting Israel, then read this deluded tweet by a Netanyahu aide, who with a straight face declared that most missiles were intercepted…
..Video from the Iranian situation room when the order was given to fire an alleged 200 missiles…
The biggest question that remains is whether the missiles have inflicted any real damage, or if they were merely scattershot ‘psychological’ actions.
On one hand, we have videos like the following which show missiles hitting random empty fields…
On the other hand, we have eyewitness accounts and geolocations that appear to show the areas of sensitive targets being hit.
This Twitter thread has a bunch of them, including areas hit near Mossad headquarters, Ort Tel Nof airbase, etc.
These videos in particular claim to be from just outside Nevatim airbase which houses much of Israel’s F-35 fleet…
..It is currently impossible to find out whether the Air Base was damaged or destroyed, but the approximate range of the targets of Iranian Missiles is quite clear: Air Bases.
Iranian sources allegedly announced that “over 20 F-35s were destroyed” but of course such statements are usually hyperbolic and not reflective of reality—verification is needed.
In truth, Iran openly admitted notifying the US—and thereby Israel—of the strikes in advance, which gave Israel forewarning to take all their F-35s to the sky. This is standard procedure for high value assets like that before any strike, regularly carried out by both Ukraine and Russia in the SMO.
There are allegedly reports that Israel did in fact take its F-35 fleet to the skies as evidenced by a fleet of refueling tankers that were airborne, which suggests the F-35s were kept aloft throughout the duration of the attack…
..Token gestures only: USS Bulkely (DDG-84) and USS Cole (DDG-67) fired a dozen interceptors as part of the U.S. response to Iranian missiles launched at Israel, the Pentagon announced Tuesday...
..Iran of course again claimed they hadn’t used their best stuff yet:
Iran’s Minister of Defense: ‘None of our most advanced Missile capabilities were used in Operation True Promise-2’.
It doesn’t really matter in the end, because the attack as per usual is mostly theater, a kind of delicate dance between the warring parties, given that it was telegraphed in advance to notify the recipients for the purpose of de-escalating...
..Israel, however, claimed they would respond to any attack large or small—but as per usual, Israel barks loudly while relying entirely on its American backing. Biden had recently signaled he was at the end of his rope with supporting Israeli attacks, which could mean Israel will be forced to back down from its threat of “major” response against Iran... Without this backing, Israel would not be able to survive on its own, and would have long ceased to exist...
..Hezbollah’s Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem released a statement that Hezbollah is ready to repel the Israeli assault:
”WE’RE READY AND PREPARED TO CONFRONT ISRAEL GROUND OFFENSIVE, WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS”, declares Hezbollah’s Deputy SG Qassem in first live statement since assassination of party’s chief Nasrallah and other leaders, stressing “Vast majority of Hezbollah’s medium, long range weapons capabilities fully intact, despite Israeli lies”...
..Qassem eulogizes: “Popular, loved leader Nasrallah who dedicated his life to resistance and struggle” in 2nd video, stressing new SG will be chosen in near future, adding “We will fill leadership positions steadily. Be assured choices will be straightforward because they are clear”.
Even Hezbollah’s greatest detractors and enemies admit that the death of Nasrallah is fairly meaningless vis-a-vis Hezbollah’s military integrity...
..Israel’s objectives make no logical sense and are not realistically achievable. That is, the chief stated objective of creating a buffer zone such that northern Israel can be secure from Hezbollah rocket attacks in order to facilitate the return of Israeli citizens. But any such settlement cannot possibly last because it would require Israel to devote inordinate forces to occupying all of southern Lebanon indefinitely...
..Thus, most likely Israel will take a few border villages, then if they cannot suck Iran into a giant regional war, backdoor emergency agreements will be struck by the US to prevent having to go to war against Iran. Israel would then save face by withdrawing under shallow claims of some obscure ‘victory’ with a list of phony Hezbollah assets destroyed, etc. At the same time, Israel will probably get a bunch of secret concessions from the historically weak US administration in exchange for saving the US from having to do heavy lifting against Iran...
..For what it’s worth, Jared Kushner wrote a long screed espousing his demented theory that Israel’s ‘destruction’ of Hezbollah is the gateway to effectively burying Iran. He cites Hezbollah as a ‘loaded gun pointed at Israel’ which was the sole bulwark protecting Iran’s nuclear facilities from being taken out. But after Israel finishes off Hezbollah, Kushner appears to imply Iran can be safely dealt with without fear of reprisal. It’s likely he’ll be eating his words in the not too distant future... However, he appears to point to a concerted plan, echoed by Naftali Bennett…
..As a last interesting note, around the time of Iran’s attack, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Chernyshenko was heading to Iran…
All the while, the full-on Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin had landed yesterday to meet with Iranian president Pezeshkian amongst others… Some sources claim Mishustin was there to sign a major gas deal called the ‘contract of the century’, though official Russian outlets are more mum on the trip. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/operation-true-promise-2-iran-strikesNetanyahu Says Regime Change in Iran Will Happen ‘A Lot Sooner Than People Think’
The Israeli leader released a video in English that he said was a message to the Iranian people.
“When Iran is finally free, and that moment will come a lot sooner than people think — everything will be different,” he said in English. “Our two ancient peoples, the Jewish people and the Persian people, will finally be at peace. Our two countries, Israel and Iran, will be at peace.” (Netanyahu is of Polish extraction.)
Netanyahu said that Iran’s “puppets” were being eliminated and warned that there’s “nowhere in the Middle East” that Israel cannot reach. “With every passing moment, the regime is bringing you — the noble Persian people — closer to the abyss,” he said. https://news.antiwar.com/2024/09/30/netanyahu-says-regime-change-in-iran-will-happen-a-lot-sooner-than-people-think/#gsc.tab=0 Gilbert Doctorow, Washington pushes China into Russia’s arms, pushes Iran into Russia’s arms
All discussion in the Washington foreign policy establishment on how the Ukrainian war has pushed Russia into China’s arms and made it a ‘junior partner’ is utter nonsense. My contention is that a hubristic U.S. foreign policy that pays no attention to what adversaries are saying because that is ‘disinformation’ has pushed China into Russia’s arms.… The handwriting is on the wall. Beijing must support the new robust nuclear doctrine of Russia to ensure its neighbor’s victory over the U.S.-led coalition supporting Ukraine...
..By the same token, unqualified U.S. support, including active participation in Israel’s latest atrocities in Lebanon that resulted in the death of Hezbollah’s high command has pushed Iran into Russia’s arms. The liberal-minded new president of Iran has reversed his recently declared readiness for dialogue with the signatories of the now suspended Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on nuclear arms. We saw the proof of that yesterday when Iran moved from wait-and-see mode into retaliatory mode for the humiliations Israel has inflicted on the Axis of Resistance. One hundred eighty ballistic missiles were fired at Israeli military targets and it would appear that they got through both the Iron Dome and air defenses provided by the U.S. fleet and French anti-aircraft systems.
I contend that Iran’s missile attack on Israel was approved in advance by Moscow when Vladimir Putin sent his envoy to Teheran a few days earlier. It is unthinkable that Iran would challenge Netanyahu so directly without the certainty that Russian air defense systems give it the best protection known on this planet.
After serving as a reliable if unacknowledged guarantor of the state of Israel for decades, Russia has clearly changed sides. https://gilbertdoctorow.substack.com/p/washington-pushes-china-into-russiasOctober 2, 2024 at 3:46 pm #170283John DayParticipant US Likely ‘Had a Hand’ in Israel’s Operation to Eliminate Hezbollah’s Leader Nasrallah – Analyst

Tehran is not afraid of war but stands for a safe and stable Middle East, spokesperson Nasser Kanaani has said
“There is no need to send extra or volunteer forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani told a weekly news conference. Lebanon and fighters in the Palestinian territories “have the capability and strength to defend themselves against the aggression,” he added.
Over the past several weeks, Israel has carried out heavy airstrikes targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon and other militant groups in the region, including in Syria, Yemen, and Iraq. The Israeli offensives have raised fears that the conflict could engulf the entire Middle East and draw in Iran and the US, Israel’s main ally.
“We have not received any request in this regard from any side, on the contrary, we are informed and are sure that they do not need the help of our forces,” Kanaani told reporters. https://www.rt.com/news/604961-iran-no-forces-lebanon/ The most precarious place in the world to be a child: Israel’s year of war on children

Kamala’s Katrina moment? Fed response to hurricane, port strike unsettles Dems before VP debate
Over the weekend, Hurricane Helene battered western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee, prompting large-scale flooding and killing more than 100 as of Monday. President Biden spent the weekend on the beach in Delaware and Harris was fundraising in California. https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/katrina-biden-harris-wh-handling-helene-port-strike-likely-put-walz-defenseVance-Walz debate notes are neatly detailed here. My impression is that it was polite, and that (attorney) JD Vance had 31 IQ points on anybody else on the screen. His command of legal detail and context was highlighted in his correction of the “fact-checking moderator” about Haitian legal-status laws, before she cut his mic and moved-on.
CBS Cuts Mics as Vance Challenges Fact Check
At the beginning of the debate, Brennan said the debate would “provide the candidates with the opportunity to fact-check claims made by each other. CBS News reserves the right to mute microphones to maintain decorum.”
That policy came under pressure Tuesday night. During an exchange on immigration, Walz raised Vance’s statements about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio.
“The people that I’m most worried about in Springfield, Ohio, are the American citizens who have had their lives destroyed by Kamala Harris’s open border,” Vance replied.
Brennan later clarified, after Walz’s response, that “Springfield, Ohio does have a large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status, temporary protected.”
Earlier this year, the Biden-Harris administration extended temporary protected status to 300,000 Haitians who were illegally in the United States.
“The rules were that you guys weren’t going to fact-check, and since you’re fact-checking me, I think it’s important to say what’s actually going on,” Vance rebutted.
Both moderators talked over Vance and tried to move to the next question as Walz also chimed in. CBS eventually muted both candidates’ microphones as Vance gave an explanation of the asylum process that gave the migrants in Ohio legal status, contrasting it with the green card application process which immigrants are typically expected to comply with.
“Gentlemen, the audience can’t hear you because your mics are cut,” Brennan said before moving on to a question about the economy. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/post-debate-vance-vanquishes-knucklehead-walz-muting-moderatorsCalifornia governor Gavin Newsom has just signed a new law banning local governments from requiring residents to present identification to vote in elections. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/newsom-outlaws-voter-id-rules-california
Alastair Crooke, Will the suffocating cage of Leviathan be avoided?
Trump is not the ‘right card’, in the view of the U.S. power-élites; the Joker should have been pulled from the pack.
Every ‘Empire’ needs too, a common substantive culture to make strong decisions of general interest. In the European past there were two: Catholicism and the Enlightenment. They clashed. And both now have been marginalized for the benefit of libertarian arbitrariness, intended to free the individual from all constraints of communal norms.
Post-modern culture makes people “mad because individual freedom no longer accepts objective truth”. The virtual world kills the sense of the real – to replace it with imagined reality. The art of governing becomes that of administering an imposed pretence; one which people can clearly observe about them is not real, yet they are obliged to pretend that ‘narrative’ is the objective real.
This tension leads to existential insecurity and exploding reports of people in poor mental health...
..Fiona Hill, formerly of a member of the U.S. National Security Council, propounds the counter-view: that since U.S. interests, described mostly as ‘threats’ which are long term, “the structures to address those threats must also be long-term, too”…
..Hill is saying ‘the Aristocracy’ will rule long-term, via institutionalised, ‘inter-agency’ world order prescription.
This then, is the Aristocracy’s solution to the Imperial succession lacuna: Leviathan. “Leviathan – whose promise and project is straight forward – cancel all powers except one, which will be universal and absolute”.
The implicit aim is to ‘Trump-proof’ policy prescriptions. This implicit objective however, underlines its flaw. There will be no participation. People will not participate; nor do they feel that they participate – because they don’t. The mood amongst the World Order back-room strategists is that selecting political candidates by voting has become ‘a bug’ and is no longer a feature… ..It is at such a point in history that a ‘Big Man’ often emerges into the arena; one who challenges the emperor. The ‘Big Man’ is perceived to speak for the people, whose participation in political life has been dulled out, and who are angry... ..What is the way out then, as the homeland slowly implodes? Well, the Washington Post article concludes by advocating a new supra-national global governance Order; likely a Davos- style digital-authoritarian governance designed to preserve a consistent policy and alignment, before the Russo-Chinese-Iranian-BRICS link-up beats them to it.
If the western states do not take the risk of freedom, then they take the risk of the Leviathan... ..“What the Ruling Strata have not understood is that postmodern libertarian deregulation cannot be defined by economics and sex alone”.
“The extraordinary technical power, on which the Leviathan relies is inseparable from economic reality. It is therefore a techno-market reality, a power of technique and money that exercises a form of tyranny. In this context, what is likely to prevent the triumph of the Leviathan is the collapse of technical civilization” – as such that it is. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/09/30/will-the-suffocating-cage-of-leviathan-be-avoided/October 2, 2024 at 3:49 pm #170286John DayParticipant Guilty, C.J.

‘I pled guilty to journalism’ – Assange, The WikiLeaks founder has made his first public appearance since being released from a UK prison
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange urged European lawmakers to act against rising “transnational repression” of journalism by great powers during an address to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) on Tuesday. It was his first public appearance since being released from prison in late June.
Assange spent years locked up at a high-security prison in the UK as he fought extradition to the US, which had accused him of unlawfully obtaining and disclosing classified information relating to national defense. In June, he struck a plea bargain with the US Justice Department, formally acknowledging some guilt and waiving the right to legal recourse through, for example, the European Court of Human Rights, in exchange for freedom.
”I want to be totally clear. I am not free today because the system worked. I am free today, after years of incarceration, because I pled guilty to journalism,” he told members of the PACE Legal Affairs Committee in Strasbourg. https://swentr.site/news/605034-wikileaks-assange-pace-testimony/ Assange: Plea Deal With US Precludes Appeals to Top European Rights Court
“I eventually chose freedom over unrealizable justice, after being detained for years and facing a 175-year sentence with no effective remedy. Justice for me is now precluded, as the US government insisted in writing into its plea agreement that I cannot file a case at the European Court of Human Rights or even a Freedom of Information Act request over what it did to me as a result of its extradition request,” Assange told a hearing in Strasbourg. https://sputnikglobe.com/20241001/assange-plea-deal-with-us-precludes-appeals-to-top-european-rights-court-1120376441.html In 1971 a strike like this lasted half a year.

October 2, 2024 at 4:33 pm #170296jb-hbParticipantIran claims to have taken out 20 F-35’s. 20!!! That would be significant.
But surely they fired up and flew those birds out of there before… oh yeah, the 35 probably has a boot-up time longer than Windows 98.
They also claimed to have hit Mossad in Tel Aviv. And an Israeli natural gas facility.
I’ve watched a few videos of missiles streaming in and either passing over a range of hills or hitting without exploding. I’ve seen some claims that Israeli antimissile launches are being shown in reverse for propaganda purposes.
I DID find some videos from Tel Aviv with explosions DEFINITELY visible at the end of the missile’s arc. Definitely not a launch.
If Iran accomplished all that they claim, that’s breathtaking and there will be hell to pay. Time to buy some oil futures or calls or some other upward-price instrument, I suppose.
The videos with missiles passing over occupied territory, what must those lights in the sky mean to those people. Someone cares. Someone is capable of resistance.
But of course Blackrock and other entities that unemployed me, prevented me from owning a home, and vilified me based on immutable characteristics sit somewhere in the background of those targets, just like in The Ukraine. And maybe my heart swells a bit as well.
It would not take much for Western leadership to avoid this type of intrinsic reaction in their own populace, but apparently, they cannot even lie based on modeling what a normal person WOULD say or think. So it is this.
Since my introduction to Peak Oil back in 2005, I have heard QUITE a lot about resource depletion, demand destruction, limits to growth, etc. Over the years, I’ve quite a lot of commentary claiming that the elites are purposely working on demand destruction.
But since 2005, what I see is the elites engaging in massive boondoggles consuming massive quantities of currency and resources. Unworkable, unscalable, inefficient toxic “green” technologies, massive military deployments and wars, hugely expensive migrations, ever-greater spending on various programs that are pointless and wasteful – thus use even more resources.
If I were to ignore everything I’ve read and look at just what has been DONE in the past 20 years, I’d interpret it as analogous to the 1985 movie Brewster’s Millions, in which Richard Pryor has to spend 30 million in 30 days to inherit 300 million or he gets nothing.
Who can say if there IS a resource crunch unless you have the actual data. 20 years of behavior seem more in line with Heinlein’s Door Into Summer, where workers build vehicles then immediately send them to the junkyard and have them crushed. Jack London, in his 1908 Steampunk sci-fi novella The Iron Heel, uses dialogue to explain how Capitalists need to rid themselves of “excess capital” that usually ends up being spent to capture the institutions. Just, always excess capital being generated, lying around, piling up, gumming up the works, has to be disposed somehow.
So you get 800 bases, infinite migration, build-out of new wasteful toxic inferior infrastructure, wars, and so on? Fine. I give up, elites. There is no resource crunch. You finally convinced me. You’re in some sort of Brewster’s Millions scenario – someone told you if you spend 30 Trillion you can get 3 Quadrillion? So you’re just desperately trying to get it spent?
A few suggestions – try building some Cathedrals. They’re beautiful to look at, have great acoustics, and uplift the people that see them, but are totally useless. (as far as you’re concerned) National Parks are also non-productive. You could spend a few billion and make all the roads in the parks safe for animals with fences and underpasses. And they are deplorably useless!
What about all those CCC and WPA programs? Employing people to go around documenting all the folk music in the country, building beautiful National Park lodges, making tons of cool posters, sending Guthrie to travel the nation singing to people? Isn’t this just as good of a waste?
I get that not only do you waste money on bombs, but there’s the destruction of water processing plants, power plants, and homes – but do you realize how many ugly streets there are in the USA? If you can convince people to inject themselves and their children with poison, surely you can brainwash them into being willing to tear down and replace ugly structures?
And don’t forget the arts. Think of the MASSIVE amount of artwork – from large “modern” monstrosities to abstract hotel and office wall art. How many billions – nay, trillions – of art needs to be destroyed and replaced with competent if not inspired stuff? Surely this would be sufficiently similar to war?
Guitars and guns are the same – you have to buy it to try it out, which is how people end up with an “arsenal” after a couple decades. There’s 15 Million guitar players in the US – send them each a guitar. I could use a Troy Van Leeuwen Jazzmaster with Kinman Fatmaster pickups. You can slap a compound radius Rubato carbon fibre neck with Grover locking tuners on there while you are about it You already know where I live, my delivery availability time frames, my passwords, when I use my washing machine, my walking gait, presumably which of my eye movements indicates interest or disinterest and the composition of my stool etc so I know you know how to get it to me. I promise to do my part in your excess capital destruction plan and wiggle air molecules in a totally non-productive way.
Aren’t they? Aren’t they engaging in capital destruction, not demand destruction?

I hope Iran humiliated Duh’merica by snuffing them out and their pilots

F-35 Lardbuckets are no problemo

October 2, 2024 at 7:04 pm #170300OroborosParticipantDmitry Orlov: Iran HITS Israel – Russia Decimating Ukraine’s Army
Dmitry’s initial take on Iran phucking IsRealHell in the Wazoo.
IsRealHell is defenseless
Let that sink in.
Defenseless
Their ‘iron dome’ is the ‘toilet paper dome’.
Hahahahahaha
From now on if IsRealHell doesn’t STFU, Iran can totally demolish IsRealHell’s war making machine. Especially all it’s planes and airfields and fuel storage facilities.
Defenseless, you saw the missiles hitting on all the videos. Just a tiny fraction of what Iran can throw at them.
Dmitry says that IsRealHell “has become this rabid little animal” resorting to political assassination.
Iran has class and only targets military systems.
Watch and enjoy, Orlov reams out IsRealHell with a red-hot wire brush up it’s butthole.

As is often said here, the Russia is waging a war of attrition against NATO.
PCR is a top writer but sometimes we wonder who he is actually working for. He never gives credit for the brilliant strategy the Russians have employed to combat their enemy.
The bastards were so arrogant that they thought they could take on Russia, and had it all game-planned to plunder the country’s riches. And where has it landed them? Circling around the drain.

You perfectly inverted it.

Never met a Democrat who did not support ‘vaccine’ passports, show me your papers, lockdowns and govern me harder Daddy Gov…
Nor have I met a single one who does not make excuses for the abuses, they were all a part of.
They loved it…. which should be a cautionary note in your brain regarding the perils of the love/hate conundrum. Liberals love to hate, particularly hate you, or CJs “hate speech”.
Democrats Love hating anything not them, but they also hate themselves with loving narcissism.EVERYBODY has a right to defend themselves.
I watched millions of Liberals all around me go full retard glee embracing lockdowns, mandates, tyranny… They literally walked through the door waiving their Vax cards high…they supported segregation with a product that was completely ineffective. They wanted to cut anyone out of their society who did not conform or obey.
No job, no admission, no health care, no human rights. Trust “the” science that changes at the speed of science was their insanity dropped in your lap. They actively PUNISHED anyone and everyone who did not go along.
Civil dis-obedience, be ungovernable, kill your t.v.
Resist, fight back, slay monsters who want you dead.
October 2, 2024 at 9:36 pm #170307citizenxParticipantIsrael’s emergency authorities have lifted all restrictions, and people in Tel Aviv have emerged from bomb shelters and returned to the streets.
Ah yes- “emergency authorities” lifting restrictions, easing conditional lockdowns….one for bombs, one for bio lab viruses.
Remember those catchy phrases “shelter in place” , “we’re all in this together”, “no one is safe until everyone is safe” ?
War authorities and CoVid authorities… same protocols, same language, different war?
They waged war on US in 2020 and have not stopped.October 2, 2024 at 9:48 pm #170308aspnazParticipantA Polish-based NGO has filed a lawsuit against President Andrzej Duda, accusing him of insulting his own people in a comment he made about a 2023 film on migration.
Who is funding this NGO, Soros or the ruling political party? So many people willing to do the dirty work of the oligarchs.
October 2, 2024 at 9:56 pm #170309citizenxParticipantSecretary General of the United Nations, António Guterres, has been banned from entering Israel over his response to Iran’s ballistic missile bombardment. In a statement, Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz called Guterres an “anti-Israel secretary-general who lends support to terrorists”.
Hahahahhaaha Jews of Israel ban the UN
Jews of Israel are lesser than and beneath pigs. Jews of Israel are the worms and maggots slithering through mud feeding on pig shit and piss.
Jews – always lying, whining, always the victim, thieves and murderers = Jew scum of Israel.
October 2, 2024 at 10:20 pm #170313aspnazParticipantNow approaching three years of a conflict that a real national leader would have ended in 3 weeks, Putin has his back to the wall.
You may like PCR, but to me he is a typical American, full of bluster with zero analystical skills for situations overseas, where American thinking counts for nothing. Strong when murdering camel herders, no idea what fighting a real war or winning the peace would be like. He wants Putin to turn Ukraine into Iraq or Libya, countries that are still a total mess, controlled by warlords, with very little hope of being fixed by the USA, ever. The USA can destroy these camel herders and steal their oil, but it has zero ability to rebuild the countries they destroyed, they can’t even look after their own infrastructure, let alone that in the middle east. Russia has to live with Ukraine, they are neighbours and a lot of Russians will have relatives in Ukraine. You want Putin to go in there and totally destroy the place and leave it like Iraq? What about all the people who rely on Ukraine food to survive, they can go hang? PCR is an idiot, he wass trying to taunt people into his shock and awe way of thinking, it failed so now he is pushing his stupidity a bit further to see if that gains him some recruits.

October 2, 2024 at 10:43 pm #170315zerosumParticipantThe situ in western North Carolina is catastrophic.
Substations are still underwater.
Duke Energy says they have no idea when they can restore them.
Problem: No transformers and no chance of getting any.
I think I saw the figure that up to 320 new transformers will likely be needed. There are none on a shelf somewhere.
Oh, 59 transformers and other hardware were sent to the Ukraine!!!See Grid Apocalypse:
https://x.com/anyaparampil/status/1841538890848424267“Americans are not only seeing their stolen wages go to foreign wars rather than our own country—our government also sent transformers and other electrical equipment that could now save the Carolinas to UKRAINE”
Who the eff is in charge at FEMA?
Apologies if OT, but Ukraine and Ziostan wars seem to be joined at the hip . . . Both of them draining off resources needed in the US.

I offer this small edit as I think it captures the essence of PCR, Made Man.
“PCR isn’t considered an idiot by wide swaths of humanity. Yet, he knows he was trying to taunt people into his shock and awe way of thinking, it failed so now he is pushing his feigned ignorance a bit further to see if that gains him some recruits”
Play dumb in front of the boss never hurts a person’s employment prospects.
So who is PCR’s boss?October 2, 2024 at 10:51 pm #170317aspnazParticipantJews of Israel are lesser than and beneath pigs. Jews of Israel are the worms and maggots slithering through mud feeding on pig shit and piss.
As Orlov stated, a lot of jews have flown to Israel to defend their country, these worms and maggots are not just in Israel, their families are still in Russia, the USA, the UK etc.
October 2, 2024 at 11:05 pm #170318CelticbikerParticipant2 things are gonna wake up the West. Young American men coming home in body bags, because of these fucking jews. The money turning to shit, AKA Weimar.
October 2, 2024 at 11:38 pm #170319OroborosParticipantOrlov said the Putin and the Russian government were treating the Russian jews (20,000+) who went to fight for IsRealHell might not be allowed back into Russia and if they came back might be treated and tried as war criminals.
Orlov also said between a quarter and a third of Isrealhell’s citizens were Russian jews. A substantial number.
He also said that the Empire of Lies military supplies were tapped out by Ukronaziland and what’s left will ALL go to Isrealhell. He said the Russians like that because it will hasten the Ukronazi collapse time table.
Isrealhell going into Southern Lebanon will greatly accelerate the diversion of military supplies away from Ukronaziland to Isrealhell and that is a win for Russia in the SMO strategy.
Orlov also state their can never be a “two state solution”.
Isrealhell has acted like a small rabid animals and does not deserve to exist any longer.
It will be a One State Solution, Palestine

October 2, 2024 at 11:53 pm #170321OroborosParticipantOrlov also said there is a near Infinite supply of fighters streaming in from all over the Middle East who want to fight and kill the IDF.
“a near Infinite supply of fighters…”
Dual passport Isrealhellis are jumping a sinking ship in droves and leaving “The Promised Land” ASAP
Not surprisingly, there is NOT “a near Infinite supply of jewish fighters” streaming in from the Empire of Lies into Isrealhell.
I wonder why?
Is it because Empire of Lies jews are chickenshits and would never volunteer to fight for anything except a cushy life style.
October 3, 2024 at 12:07 am #170322OroborosParticipantOrlov added that all the Isrealhell tanks rolling into Lebanon now will be destroyed by a huge surplus of shoulder launched missiles. Hezbollah has at least 10-15 shoulder launched missiles for every Isrealhell tank and men who know how to use them.
All those tanks will never be rolling out. They will be scrape metal.
“Netanyahu has more important things to worry about like how deep is his bunker” Hahahaha
