Pablo Picasso Cafe Royan [The Coffee] 1940 • Developing Developments (Kunstler) • The Nord Stream 2 Pipeline Sabotage (Monkeywerx) • Macgregor:
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle October 4 2022]Suggesting that the US was responsible for the bombing of NS1 and NS2 is now the second time that Sachs has spoken out against “the narrative”; the first being when he was the chair of The Lancet ‘s COVID-19 Commission when he suggested that the virus may have originated from an American laboratory.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Sachs#COVID-19The scales seem to have finally fallen from his eyes.
He probably has a family member who is death-vaxx injured.
That would be a wake up call for most.After un-docking from the Bart-12 refueler, the P8 followed a route west along the Nord Stream pipelines, descended to bomb-run altitude, and dropped its weapons.
This suggests that Washington is still in control of the military, which means that Russia should be looking to blow the ass off Washington …. to borrow an epithet from Kunstler.
Working on this, as said before: so, this is America’s master plan to dominate Germany and the EU, and they DIDN’T build any LNG? Not back when, not lately, not now? C’mon. We also don’t have it. I mean, some but not enough for TWO major continents.
Next, so the U.S. shuts off gas forever, collapses Germany forever and…? And Europe collapses, Europe’s banks collapse, and Europe…can’t pay for the LNG you don’t have to sell them.
…Which banking collapse collapses the American Banking system.
Master plan!
And this causes what? Yes, “You’ll own nothing.” “Eat ze bugs!” Not JUST in Europe, but falls on America like a ton of bricks too. So who wants and approves of that plan? And puts in a worldwide eco panopticon into place in Ann Arbor just to “Keep Control”?
There’s one loose affiliate faction where that tics all the boxes and it’s not the Pentagon. It’s not IBM.
“Our” plan, (whoever “We” is,) was obviously, clearly, and eternally to use RUSSIA’s gas, by conquering them and selling it back to Europe. There are no other pipelines, there are no other alternatives. However, Europe couldn’t conquer Russia and got off the leash. They couldn’t get the U.S. to fully engage them when they still could, like back in the 90’s when Cheney wanted to nuke them. They tried to pre-prep with alt-energy, then by load-shedding their own people. Both were idiotic crayon-munching fantasies. They (London/Davos) rigged both the 2016 and 2020 elections (Steele + $/Social media/internet voting). They now demand the U.S. fight all Russia on their behalf, and the Pentagon won’t, even with Biden and Blinken telling them to. Then they ran out of time.
Sound more accurate?

Novak v. City of Parma, No. 18-3373 (6th Cir. 2019) :: Justia
Summary Novak created “The City of Parma Police Department” Facebook account to exercise his “fundamental American right” of ” [m]ocking our government officials.” He published posts “advertising” free abortions in a police van and a “Pedophile Reform event.”The police obtained warrants to search Novak’s apartment and to arrest him, stating that Novak unlawfully impaired the department’s functions. Novak responded that, other than 12 minutes of phone calls, the police department suffered no disruption. Novak was acquitted, then sued, alleging violations of his constitutional and statutory rights.”
“Tucker: “Despite what you may hear on NBC News, Zelenskyy is not the leader of a democratic nation.”
Must Defend Democracy! They’re trying to end our Democracy! Maga peace is the enemy of Democracy. Kill them! (Gosh if I end up in a court case that sarcasm really isn’t going to go well, is it? Especially with two new Biden-promoted murders this week.)
Kent Brewery. Government said it. Media reported it. Therefore it’s false.
LNG. Hey, I’m not a genius but wouldn’t it be cheaper and more ecological to use the SouthStream pipeline?
Kunstler: like everyone he’s sloppy and looking at only the surface level. Of course we all do this, and have to, saying “The West” did this, “The West” wants this. Really? WHO in the West? WHO in America? WHO in the military or Executive in America? WHO in Europe? For that matter, WHO in Russia?
Although not all that different, it’s never mattered this much before as there used to be actual nations, actually running things. Now it’s corporations and factions running THEM.
Monkeywerx: they hit the pipeline in four areas along two flight paths. Did it follow both? Why those areas? Are they more shallow? It would also have blown in quite a long sequence: maybe minutes to an hour apart. Did they? We have the seismographs. If not, somebody set up JimmyBob as the fall guy. That doesn’t mean “The U.S.” didn’t do it: most probably we were involved, but these things matter.
Hypothesis: What you do is, when you set the actual hit – maybe set months ago – you then call your faction-pals like Nuland over there and make up some cock-n-bull story how you’d really appreciate it if you “Showed Russia they’re vulnerable” on the NS2 by doing a specific military overflight that’s going to be pointedly attack-formation. Then fly home, call Moscow on the phone, and ask them to talk. Instead, after the overflight, you find out someone popped them and blamed you. Clearly they are not that mad, or they’d pipe up.
Conclusions: 1) Do you really think the U.S. is so stupid as to leave the flight recorder on a flight during what is wartime AND ALSO deny they had anything to do with it?
2) They WANT and don’t care that everyone knows they did it. …But also want to deny it to CNN for lols.
Not that it can’t be true, but it’s an interesting mind-bend to think this is the “direct and simple” answer.
“Nord Stream 2, Trump declared in July 2018, is a “tragedy.“
Someone pointed out that Biden and Nuland promising to blow it up, are only the most RECENT. Everyone has said they’d blow it up since construction began. Good point.
“But because this contradicted the Russiagate narrative that he was really a Kremlin asset, Trump’s sanctions against Nord Stream 2 were widely ignored at home.”
That’s because it’s real. The Media and Congress ignore all real things and report or impeach only for unreal things. Professional courtesy. Conclusion: Trump blew up the Pipeline! Because he’s a Russian asset! j/k Actually less crazy than some things they seriously and un-ironically reported though.
“co-host Lisa Abramowicz tried to change the subject to inflation in Europe.”
Must. Stop. News. Hate, enemy. Is the truth.
“Blinken last Friday in a press conference; he says ‘this is also a tremendous opportunity.’”
Blinken’s so mad about 20% of the population of a major NATO ally being killed, he said it was great and “tremendous”. Go USA!
Okay then, who is Sachs? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Sachs
UN, Columbia, Harvard, Shock Doctrine, Sustainable development, all the usual checklist.
“Canadian journalist Naomi Klein, Jeffrey Sachs is one of the architects of “disaster capitalism” after his recommendations in Bolivia, Poland and Russia led to millions of people ending up in the streets.”
“Sachs endorsed Bernie Sanders in the 2020 Democratic Party”
“In April 2018, he supported President Donald Trump’s view that the United States should come out of Syria “very soon”, adding: “It’s long past time for the United States to end its destructive military engagement in Syria and across the Middle East, though the security state seems unlikely to let this happen”
“Sachs was the chair of The Lancet ‘s COVID-19 Commission…[which] suggested that the virus may have originated from an American laboratory,”
Next question: why would I ever in my life care what this monkey says? Sounds like some dumb guy who knows about as much as Nascar Jimmy. Let’s take it as “The Elites” are not one unified monolith, but a loose alliance of aligning interests.
“Kiev has since admitted to using [Starlink] for the war effort.”

“The poll was quickly swamped by what he called the “biggest bot attack I’ve ever seen.”
But these bots don’t show up and aren’t used anywhere else, like Twitter, Facebook, or against YOU. Right? And adding: doesn’t matter how many favors you do, how generous or compliant you are; the minute you cross the radicals, they turn on you like religious zealots. Shouldn’t they cut Elon some slack for — I dunno — setting up an nationwide military communication system for them? NOPE. They are incapable of negotiation or reason. And You’re Next.
“Kiev’s Counter Attacks on Kherson Have Failed – Official (RT)”
I guess we’ll all find out if we eat dirt on this. It can’t be hidden very long. P.S. 10:1 tank ratio? Is that normal?
“British Intelligence Predicted Ukraine War 30 Years Ago (Dec.uk)”
Yes, because they planned it with Brzezinski 30 years ago. Duh. Read a book.
“This is exactly the volume that we promised within the framework of our agreements with the UN to solve the problem of world hunger,”
Meanwhile, the UN and Europe are working tirelessly to REDUCE food exports from Holland and CAUSE world hunger in the Global South.
“Delays in economic aid from the European Union to Ukraine are “unacceptable” and must be resolved to avert disaster,”
The EU is broke and giving that aid will create disaster too. Comments that nobody, not even the U.S. and Europe can just give away $12B/month and not collapse. That’s supposed to be short term and needs to pay for itself. It’s not. How have they “avoided collapse” so long? Noting that the Dow is -11,000pt and the Pound has plummeted to under $1, lowest ever.
“Truss Exposes the Inherent Instability of Western Democracies (Hryce) “
Democracies are “unstable”? Howso? Aren’t they “Flexible” instead? And if they are unstable, we should replace them with what, exactly, Mr. Hryce? Socialism that worked so well everywhere it was tried? With you, personally, a PMC Technocrat, because you were so successful with ecology, climate change, and Covid?
Like the U.S., all the good men scattered because the UK needs to collapse under the carefully hand-picked patsy: MissTruss, and especially her moronic finance minister. This will damage support for “minorities” and women for years. So, especially good planning! The “Madness” came in all the 40 years before, Ambrose. Certainly every minute of every day since Blair.
“Trump Seeks $475 Million in Defamation Suit against CNN (ZH)”
Well he certainly deserves it. There has never been such a slander and libel campaign in the history of the world outside of war. Half a billion dollars? He can buy back the company with that, which makes sense. Too far? They reported THOUSANDS, probably tens of thousands of specific, factual allegations for 7 years, all of which turned out to be false. So far. Suing for libel is a critical part of our system. That they can use lawfare to say all things with impunity has to be reined in. Along with Sec230 which is coming up.
“We had 51 former intelligence officials tell us that this was Russian disinformation.”
And they know that because they never looked. There was no investigation. Whenever we see something important, national security, we always prevent any further investigation to find out if it’s true. That’s just common sense! CovidCovidCovid. We know it’s false because we will never, ever look!
“Nobody wants the yuan, including the Chinese.”
They would just end up in Triffin’s paradox. Why put their head in the noose? And they’ve been predicting China’s collapse since…dunno, 2002? Xi says their economy is “Like the ocean” which is true, and even real estate is hard to collapse it when they can fall back on manufacturing or some other sector.
“China tried to manipulate each and come out worse due to its attempts to manipulate the laws of economics.”
Really? They’re still there after you predicted they would be vanquished as our enemy, and Wall St. would feed on their carcass like Sachs and Browder. Instead they can float endless carriers and take Taiwan. China is not the West. We are having a very hard time understanding them. And as Russia uses “General Winter”, China uses “General Time.”
Note the story that China is ALREADY colonizing the U.S. – just going about it as if it’s a historical inevitability. Manifest Destiny. Buying land, yes. Buying politicians, yes. Bought all the paper, every social media, yes. To make “special economic zones” where Americans pay taxes but China doesn’t, yes. Importing Chinese to be the workers in those zones, yes.
And now: “Defund the Police” while China sets up parallel police departments that actually work. So if you want a crime solved? Go to Bronx PD? Suck it: we don’t have the resources. Go to the Chinese PD? “How can we help you, sir?”
THAT’S colonization.
Oh wait: you have to be “White” (whatever that means) to do colonization. No other people have ever expanded on their neighbors or asked for tribute before. Nope! All good here. They’re not white, therefore they are our special golden retriever puppy friends. Only looking out for our best interests.
That is not racist at all.
@ Dr D – yup, Sachs is a monkey. But a smooth talking one.
Enjoy this funny exchange, where Sachs is schooled by Hugh Hendry – somebody who understands the real world. Clearly, Sachs is not used to being spoken down to.
What a hoot!Not surprisingly, the vast majority of commentators in the UK – irrespective of their political affiliations – have been strongly critical of the Truss mini-budget and the prime minister herself.
She is being used to boost Keir Starmer. He is a total fascist and noted as Jimmy Saville’s protector when he led the CPS. Truss was never mean’t to succeed and I am sure she was assured by her owners that getting rid of the 45% rate was a done deal. She now must be astute enough to realise she is likely to be one of Britain’s shortest-lived PMs. Starmer is a much more worrying prospect: rather than destroy the UK, he has the evil needed to turn it into a prison camp.
Former President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit against CNN tonight, claiming the so-called news outlet defamed him in an effort to reduce his chances of running for president again in 2024.
CNN responded by saying that Trump was seeking attention: if anybody should know, the people on the screen should be able to recognise one of their own. Of course, this just digs the Trump camp further into the fight, securing yet more votes for Trump. Trump seeking attention from CNN? Watch some of Trump’s rallys, they are rammed full of people, I don’t think he needs any attention from the CNN camp.
The atlas moth has wings that mimick two cobras watching her back.
Creatures like this make me think again about intelligent design. The presence of cobra images surely does not increase the safety of a moth, so what is happening here? Very strange, very impressive. We are part of a system we cannot ever understand.

I like the way you think, that is starting to make sense: the lack of preparation based on the assumption they could crush Russia. The shock that they could not crush Russia so the alternative is … makes sense.
Aspnaz v. AFKTT on Hobgoblin thread last night:
AFKTT said
“Never forget that the system is run by banks and corporations for the short-term benefit of banks and corporations. Therefore, actual solutions that would quickly bring down banks and corporations are ‘unacceptable’.”Aspnaz: “There is no solution because there is no crisis, this is an entirely man made hoax designed to strip the majority of us of our standard of living. If the only “solutions” to this hoax that can be proposed by the looney left is to get rid of banks then the proposers are immensely stupid as their solution is a revolution.”

The Ruskys are just as delusional as the West , I am just…..words fail….
The vax bit , starts at 4.00.
Well, on Friday of last week, my young adult next-door neighbor in my apartment building apparently had a seizure that led to his death the following day at the hospital. Since I didn’t really know the guy, I do not know if he was fully vaxxed, but I do know that as of about six months ago, about 75% of adults in Wisconsin qualified as fully vaxxed. And I also know that prior to this year, I have never known of somebody in the apartment building I was living in suddenly having a fatal seizure. (Though in fairness, I should mention that a next-door neighbor of mine who smoked and drank the way most older working-class men do, died of cancer in his apartment a few years after I moved out of that building. This happened a few years prior to Covid.)
I also know of a high-school classmate of mine who died of a mysterious illness earlier this year from Facebook, and I know he was fully vaxxed because he was on Facebook making fun of people who didn’t want to get vaxxed because they were dubious about this medical treatment. I take no delight at all, by the way, in knowing of this. This man trusted the institutions of science and medicine, as prior to 2020, that was what reasonable, responsible people supposedly did, and it might have ended his life. I find that utterly sad-making and terrible. 🙁
I was accused of killing people, because I refused to get death-vaxxed.
I was shunned by family, because I refused to get death vaxxed.
I was mocked by friends, because I refused to get death-vaxxed.
I am still excluded from the US (where I have friends/family), because I refused to get death-vaxxed.I now have numerous friends and family who are either sick directly from the death-vaxx or who are getting Covid/colds repeatedly.
I laugh right at them – “Told ‘ya!”
It’s like therapy for me.Thanks Germ, for the Jeffrey Sachs Wikipedia page. It appears that he was a tenured Harvard professor at 28, obviously talented, wanted to help people, but came at it top-down and neoliberal, so got the fractured results we would expect.
That being said, he appears to have always had this class-battle within himself, between his patrician-standing and his desire to help poor-masses.
He is serving a few masters, who are at odds with each other. Difficult and frustrating position for him.Enjoy – I did!

At the end of September, several Russian regions, citing a June 2021 decree issued by the Ministry of Defense, announced they would begin vaccinating mobilized residents.In response, Independent Association of Physicians published two open letters—one addressed to Vladimir Putin, the other appealing to Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
Some excerpts from the letter to Putin:
OPEN DEMAND from doctors to the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin
Vladimir Vladimirovich, we are doctors, members of the International Public Organization “Independent Association of Doctors”, appeal to you with a demand to ban vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 for those mobilized and called up for military service.
From the Russian Military review.
“Today, the Ministry of Defense is really sowing panic and defeatist sentiment precisely by the fact that it is not able to tell the people of Russia the TRUTH. […]Why does our Ministry of Defense cowardly hide its head in the sand today as soon as problems begin? … Will real success come from verbal victories?
Already today, many in Russia have the same question: if the Armed Forces of Ukraine are left without equipment, if the soldiers do not want to fight and scatter, then who, excuse me, captures the cities? Are necromancers raising the dead? […]
The situation is ominous … The Ministry of Defense can remain silent as long as it wants or draw beautiful reports, destroying the equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the fourth time. Will this change the situation at the front? Also no. It is high time for the authorities to think about what they are doing, and how long will the Russian people allow themselves to be mocked like that. Trust is lost very quickly, as practice shows. Experiments of this kind can end very sadly, and it is a pity that the Ministry of Defense is playing with fire, pretending not to understand the problem. […]
And, finally, the same question that was mentioned at the very beginning: do you really think that we have no right to the truth?
September 14: “A costly lesson”
When the dust settled:
At the moment, the Russian army has practically withdrawn all its forces from the Kharkov region. That is, this means that Ukrainian forces ended up on the Russian border.
Once again, the Ministry of Defense called this a cosmetic retreat. […]
All this is very similar to the spring gesture of goodwill with the withdrawal of troops from the north of Ukraine.
The Kharkov operational crisis in early September is, of course, a lesson for the allied forces. Underestimating the enemy was very costly. Even taking into account the fact that it was possible to withdraw the troops relatively quickly. In the newly occupied territories, many people remained who believed that Russia was here forever. These are dark times now.”
@ Mister Roboto:
“I also know of a high-school classmate of mine who died of a mysterious illness earlier this year from Facebook…”
I don’t know anyone that actually died from Facebook, but I sure know a lot who have suffered brain damage from that source.
What could go wrong here?:
“The National Institutes of Health is providing more viral research funding, including related to bat coronaviruses, to U.S.-based EcoHealth Alliance, linked to an infamous Wuhan lab. […]”
In Retrospect and why I am now cynical about Russian huggers.

The Ukrainian military has launched a counter-offensive in the Kharkov region.There are many hot takes about this.
We are not going to provide you with a Military Analysis.

The Kiev “feint”
Remember when thousands of Russian troops semi-surrounded Kiev and Zelensky was supposed to flee for his life (maybe he did, temporarily, to Poland. History’s Mysteries)? Oh, we remember.
(There is a image in the original article here showing posts from Escobar , he used the phrases below.”“Going for the jugular” and “doing it the hard rock way” suddenly became a sneaky “feint”? Okay, sure.
Go back to mid-March—all the usual suspects were still predicting an imminent assault on Kiev. There’s a simple explanation for this: Russia was still signaling it had ambitious plans for Kiev and neighboring regions.Twitter avatar for @colonelhomsi

In a statement, the Russian Defense Ministry listed the areas of Ukraine where, according to their data, the population represents “good relations” with Russia – these are:

But by late March the narrative had changed in a very radical way.On March 25, Russia’s ministry of defense claimed that operations in Kiev, Kharkov, Chernigov, Sumy, and Nikolaev were designed to “tie down [Ukrainian] forces” and prevent them from “strengthening their grouping in the Donbass.”
March 13, 2022 (source: URA.ru)
A few days later, the Kremlin described the Russian withdrawal from these areas as a gesture of goodwill aimed at encouraging peace talks.Seemingly overnight, Russia’s short-lived excursions into Kiev and the surrounding regions were rebranded as a “feint” that would allow for the swift liberation of Donetsk and Lugansk. (Current status: incomplete.)
A new narrative was born: with Phase I (“the feint”) a resounding success, the Russian military could now focus its attention on the Donbass. We were told, day after day, that Ukrainian forces in the east were going to be boiled alive, Ramen noodle-style, in a giant cauldron. Once the Ukrainians were encircled, Kiev would be forced to either surrender or crawl to the negotiating table.

In the encirclement pictured on this map, there are some 60,000 Ukrainian combat troops—their finest men. They have no chance of being relieved, reinforced or resupplied. They have no chance to win. If they keep fighting, they will die—for nothing.This is an utter tragedy.

It was all over, according to the liveliest intellects of our time. Gonzalo Lira proclaimed that Antony Blinken and Lloyd Austin met with Zelensky in late April to inform Kiev that the United States would not be sending heavy weapons to Ukraine.“It was a kiss-off. It was the signal to the Zelensky regime that US/NATO will not supply heavy weapons or planes, and will not get into this war. It’s over,” Lira tweeted on April 27.
Scott Ritter had a slightly different take: Russia would destroy any NATO weaponry sent to Ukraine before it could reach the front lines.
The evolution of the Donbass “cauldron”
It wasn’t until mid-May that Ritter conceded “Russia has shown itself unable or unwilling to [intercept weapons shipments]—as a result—the Ukrainians are having a meaningful impact on the battlefield.”Mariupol was officially cleared of Azov fighters at the end of May (some of whom were later released as part of a prisoner exchange), but the long-anticipated encirclement of Ukrainian forces in Donbass never materialized. Reinforcements and NATO-supplied weapons continued to flow across the Dnieper.
No biggie.
In a tweet commemorating the first three months of fighting, Lira mused that the AFU wouldn’t be able to hold out for another 90 days. The Ukrainian military, according to Lira, was now a spent force entirely reliant on reservists.

Today is Day 90 of the conflict.►Russian forces have captured +100,000 square kilometers, are destroying the AFU in the Donbas.
►The AFU has little-to-no airforce, tanks, APC’s. They’re down to reservists.
Does anyone really think Ukraine can stand another 90 days of this?

But after taking Mariupol, Russia’s advances slowed to a snail’s pace. Gains in East Ukraine came to a screeching halt after the UAF was expelled from Lugansk in early July.“The special operation is going according to plan”
Suddenly, a new narrative was born: the longer the war went on, the better it was for Russia. Time was on Russia’s side—even as Ukraine was “rebuilding significant capability” (source: Scott Ritter).
But this wasn’t always the prevailing wisdom. For educational purposes, let’s briefly review what Very Serious Pundits were saying in the first weeks of the conflict.
On March 9, the Saker published an article under the headline: “The opinion of a professional about the special operation in Ukraine (MUST READ!)”. The analysis, written by a “military professional” named Alexander Dubrovsky, repeatedly stressed that speed was of critical importance to achieve Russia’s goals in Ukraine.
“The special operation does not stop, there will be no more delays. Every day of delay categorically harms us, unplanned diplomatic, political, economic and military problems appear. Only speed and onslaught, until in the West they begin to assess the situation with a cool head,” Dubrovsky wrote.
The article continued: “The final turning point will come after the cleansing of Kharkov, blocking or taking Odessa.”
A new directive had been issued by the Russian MOD, Dubrovsky revealed: the gloves were coming off and “hypothetical harm to civilians” would no longer take precedent over military objectives:
I want to reassure you, for the twelfth day our guys are operating in a different operational and tactical reality, losses will rapidly decrease. If earlier there was a strict order not to cause even hypothetical harm to civilians, civilian objects… today it has been modified. In one sentence: “not to the detriment of the personnel of the units.” As a military man, I am completely satisfied: now the humanitarian sensitivities are over – real work will go on.
This was the “must-read” that received a glowing preface from Andrei, the Saker’s chief curator.
Fast-forward five months. On August 10, the Saker penned a commentary explaining why he was no longer posting maps of the military situation in Ukraine.
“Unlike the first month or two of the SMO, there are very few changes worth showing on a map,” Andrei wrote, adding that the barely moving battle lines showed Russia was taking special care to avoid civilian casualties.
Okay, great—but what happened to the speedy “cleansing” (yikes) of Kharkov and Odessa? And how is it that “every day of delay” was bad news for Russia in March, but suddenly a non-issue in August?”

That said, the Russians also have this data and it certainly didn’t help our case that Biden told them we would take the pipeline out should the Russians invade Ukraine.

It’s war. “Plans don’t survive the first engagement with the enemy”, etc.
I have preferences, based on my model of “reality”, but they mostly just matter to me, and I have to keep adjusting them, anyway.It worked so well for Nixon, after all…

Secrets are no longer possibleAny Cabal genuinely intent upon world domination would at least attempt to insinuate it’s tentacles of Power into the top levels of its major competitors. Otherwise it’s intent to dominate “the World” can’t really be taken seriously as genuine. I mean, after all, what kind of obsessive world dominator complacently settles for second or third place? The game is KING of the hill, not Second Banana of the hill.
For this patently obvious reason it is, in my opinion, a VERY safe bet that in any big fight there are representatives of BOTH (or more) sides placed as high as possible in the power structures of the OTHER side(s) . . . and keeping that more or less treasonous fact more or less top secret for damned good reasons.
So for THAT (see preceding paragraph) patently obvious reason I sincerely recommend that no one trust any ( repeat, ANY) hierarchical power structure, because there are only two possibilities. Either the structure is so ineffective and irrelevant that no one has bothered to infiltrate and subvert it, or the structure is so powerful and important that it has already been infiltrated and subverted six ways from Sunday. Good luck on figuring out all of the skullduggery.
This line of strategic reasoning invariably leads to a rather cynical, but nonetheless true, conclusion:
ultimately the battle in the shared arena is between institutional (structured) power of EVERY kind, and truly sovereign individuals.Big fight. Neither side can win without (by that very fact of victory) eliminating the other side and thus bringing the ENTIRE game to an ignominious end. If there is no “other side” then there is no game. It s very very VERY unlikely for that to happen any time soon.
The contest is authority vs sovereignty. I recommend striking some sort of acceptable balance between your personal sovereignty and all of those authority structures currently telling you what you absolutely have to do “or else”.
So, let the games begin (or continue, or whatever) if that’s what you think is the best thing do at this time.

Yes, afaik (more detail, description of on the ground actions would be needed to get some ‘solid’ overall picture), the jab is obligatory for the 300K called-up reservists, for now. Avoiding service has a 10-yr prison penalty on it, therefore refusing the jab, ditto. (So far Russia has not made jabs obligatory to the ‘populace’, only as tied to a professional role.. afaik.)
Russia is also beset by Vax Opportunists, and the hype of ‘protekt citizens’ etc. The Gamaleya Inst. is at the forefront (eng.):

“Ladies and Germs” “Beating The Mule” with pic of fall tomatoes, peppers and okra https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/beating-the-mule
John Helmer in Moscow, “Dances With Bears”, is the longest-serving western journalist in Russia, and author of some insightful books.
He recently said that US, Poland and local NATO members sabotaged the pipeline right away.
In this 30 minute interview (sorry, not much transcript) Helmer says that there is open disagreement in Washington power circles between Galician-interest-neocons (Nuland, Blinken), which want to keep doubling down on war and the “Irish Catholics” (Kerry, Biden), who want to pause and think about this for a moment. (The news about the American P-8 Poseidon naval-bomber being right there when the sabotage happened is bound to be impacting policy debate in the halls-of-power. Are there secret negotiations with Russia yet?) Thanks FS.Modern economic theories have been developed in the past 300 years, a period of exponential growth of industrial capitalist economy, and more lately global financial capitalism, which is not the same, but assumes exponential-growth, while being st to maximally parasitize real-economy, which shrinks real-economy, independent of other physical limits to economic growth, like resource depletion and pollution.
With “Parasitism” being the-name-of-the-game, there are also many covert parasitic draws speeding collapse of the financial system. The financial system is the guide for the physical economy, and it has lately placed almost all decision-making in the hands of short-term-extraction specialists, maximizing quarterly profits.
The real-economy is fundamentally the life support system for humans on earth, but it has a lot of optional attachments, too. The optional economic sectors will suffer from a widespread fall in “discretionary spending” as people are forced to focus on core needs of food, fuel and shelter.
Globalism has been “deflationary”, reducing costs and prices, but at the cost of poor foreign workers in high-pollution countries. That is like a one-time strip-mining of those people and countries, and it appears to be mostly over.
The current inflation in the world is not due to economic overheating, as was arguably a big part of the case in the years around 1980, when Paul Volcker stopped $US inflation with extremely high interest rates, which mainly hurt working-people and industry.
This inflation is due to a fall in production of goods and services, superimposed upon a chronically and acutely increased supply of money. The world was accustomed to the increase of cheap money, but real-economic-production has fallen-and-can’t-get-up. The starved, bled and overloaded mule has given more than it can sustain and needs the bloodletting to stop, more feed, and the load reduced.
Raising interest rates to reduce inflation hurts the poor mule. Raising interest rates extracts more blood from industry and workers, at the same time that the industrial mule is being starved by oil and natural gas shortages and price-increases.
What’s a central-planner to do? Wage-Price controls, last implemented under Richard Nixon, in a time when real economic growth still persisted, but prices had shot up from the American default on gold, and the oil-price-wars, left a bad-taste in every mouth. Such measures pick some businesses to bankrupt, and reward sly manipulation of financial loopholes by parasites extracting value. They are a form of central-economic-planning without much “planning”, a short-term move.Global central banking is suddenly making a broad announcement through the UN that this should be done in the whole world.

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/un-demands-all-central-banks-stop-rate-hikes-and-switch-price-controls-insteadMoon of Alabama says “The expected financial crash is finally here”.
The central banks have misdiagnosed the reason for the currently high inflation rates. They were caused not only by too much stimulus provided by governments and the central banks but to a large part by the lack of supplies which is to the consequence of the pandemic and the ‘western’ sanctions following the war in Ukraine. By increasing interest rates the central banks fought against the wrong enemy. They made things worse.

Goldman strategists recap the latest developments that helped propel oil sharply higher today, namely the reports that in its first in-person meeting in Vienna this Wednesday, the cartel may cut oil output by as much as 1.5 mmb/d…
Reports suggest that OPEC+ is considering a production cut at its meeting on Wednesday, October 5, potentially larger than 1 mb/d. While such a cut would occur amid one of the tightest markets in recorded history, and ahead of a potential decline in Russian exports later this year, such a decision could be justified by the recent large decline in prices, down 40% since their June peak, with mounting global growth concerns.

According to this article NS 1 + 2 have 4 strings, and 4 ‘bombs’ (attacks, sabotage, of some kind) hit 3 of these strings, leaving one intact.
Imho it is important to have some grasp of what the damage actually is, as I said before, and how it might have been accomplished before leaping to blaming one country or another. In any case non-State actors, in the sense of covert ops, or those pushing huge sums around, special interests, rogues, etc. are all over the place.
