    Jet debris 80 miles from site. Well that does help explain it. Jets move fast.

    “Milley & Stoltenberg Agree: ‘We Must Prepare Ourselves for a Long War in Ukraine’

    Now that they’ve declared this, Russia can make them wrong. It won’t be a long war in Ukraine because Ukraine will cease to exist. Honestly, that’ll take 2-5 years though. October 4th.

    Again, the real stories are out there not the war, the usual articles. The problem is identifying any of them. Or in the case of aliens on the Parliament floor, WHAT the heck they are even after you see them.

    Biden’s impeachment may be one of these things. What is the strategy here, what are the goals? As Kunstler says, they CAN’T be so vacant as to actually think Biden is going to run OR that they’re going to get out of this scandal. These are the pretenses, and these are the reporter’s understanding. Something because like scientists, they can’t hypothesize something that isn’t known yet. Something like swapping both President AND Vice President in two days and “just installing” someone. Can’t hypothesize a “Big Event”, a accidental bomb strike or something, a city of fertilizer going off in Seattle harbor, even though that’s the most OBVIOUS back-door out of these problems.

    I can’t either because I don’t know WHICH they will choose, but the present line of inquiry is pointless.

    ““Every fiber of our union is being poured into fighting the billionaire class”

    Kind of, but it’s really this cartel and their weirdo religious cult. You see, “billionaires” care about money. They’re predictable. But these guys do not care about money. They lose and blow money on any and everything concerning their religion. They’ve just this year destroyed tens of billions in Fortune 500 100-year-old brands. The companies are too large to vanish, but in serious trouble, they may have to break up, sell off, and disperse. There is very little consternation about this, only an attempt to do their (Human-killing) religion without so much fallout.

    “• Hunter Biden Sues IRS for ‘Violating His Privacy’ (Sp.)

    To illustrate the now-universal system of lies, There are so many things going on here. First, you can’t sue the government. They will call immunity and use a generation of lawyers to slow-walk and frustrate your case. Second, how can you sue the IRS for doing their job? Third, a “Whistleblower” by definition is against the cut of their parent organization. So Hunter is suing the IRS for the existence of dissidents? Fourth, all that is protected by Congress and the whistleblower act. Fifth, he has no immunity to privacy anyway, as “law enforcement” is all public record, as it’s paid for by We the People. Sixth, as teh article said, nothing was releasted, Seventh, According to Hunter, he’s broke and too poor for child support. So how is he planning to fund the legal challenge? Eighth, Can I join? I’d like to demand the IRS not investigate me too.

    And that’s just the first 30 seconds of thought about it.

    Lawfare: if you don’t do what I want, I’ll arrest you. Period. Laws? Hahahahahaha! The Law is whatever I say it is that minute. Next minute it’s the #Opposite, and you’d better have telepathy, mister, to figure out which is which.

    …So basically the life of any abusive, alcoholic, narcissistic household where everyone walks around in fear.

    As Turley says, can I fly around in a private jet for 20 years and claim I’ve never had income? What do you think the IRS would say if I’m a door-to-door dictionary salesman driving a new Porche each week (this happened) and claim I’m not hiding income? Heck, the Greeks can’t even run a falling-down diner with a computer cash register and paper tickets and not get audited for potential tax evasion. A review that they can’t afford that keeps trying to put them out of business. IRSDGAF. Yeah, I thought so.

    One might think that all these events would be enough for the European elite to realize the need to abandon dreams and return to reality. However, the only reaction to the geopolitical crisis in Europe is … the dominance of Paris and Berlin.”

    Well, they’ve always failed upward before! Isn’t that what “failing” means? Isn’t that HOW one is promoted? Sorry, I’ve never seen promotions WITHOUT failing, so I was unclear on the concept. Sure, NOW you tell me that success is supposed to be the reason for dominance and promotion: how was I supposed to know?

    …This is what happens when all the elites, and even the apparatchiks down at Cornell, have never seen consequences, always suspended using money, influence, and unrelenting injustice on the poor.

    Ukraine faces the threat of its “carefully woven web of foreign assistance” being slowly unraveled

    That seems pretty unlikely even with blackmail for world-wide money laundering. I mean, do we see Cyprus having a “carefully woven web of foreign assistance”? How about Serbia? No? And the same with nations: plenty have tried for aid, or been invaded throughout Africa for instance, so it’s not that, or that we give a whit about “democracy”. So it would seem there’s something else there, almost like a “Mafia” that has agents and capos installed in the government of these client states worldwide. And when that “Mafia” wants a new territory to be exclusively owned, they ask their Mayors and Constables to arrange for them to have it.

    “The peace formula is the weapons formula,”

    So many lies each second of the day I forgot they have already said “War = Peace.” But here it is again, an oldie but a goodie.

    “[Zelensky] insisted on his own “peace formula” – the one Danilov was referring to – which includes the withdrawal of Russian troops from all territories claimed by Kiev, reparations from Moscow, and a criminal tribunal for the members of Russian government.”

    That is, we can have Peace when you unconditionally surrender, shoot all your leaders, and hand your country over for dismemberment.

    Shhhhh: you’re not supposed to say that part OUT LOUD. Which shows how out of their minds they are right now. Yes, we know, but what nation will do that, what will all 200 other nations think, and what will the Russian people do in response except nuke you? Or Tsunami-bomb NY in this case.

    The Clintons shut down the CGI component of their Clinton Foundation non-profit in 2017, …following Mrs. Clinton’s surprise loss in the 2016 presidential election.”

    Nothing says, “This is a totally legit and non-political charity” quite like that does.

    “US Sanctions War Is Good For Russian Shipping, Greeks Too (Helmer)

    Biden keeps making Russia rich and powerful and handing them nations the size of France, but it’s all on accident and nobody notices.

    Then he cuts rail lines by destroying workers and Unions and thereby prevents ammunition from being made. Also an accident, and he’s pro-environment, pro-worker.

    “The BRICS Commodity Powerhouse: Can It Force a New Economic ‘Order’? (Crooke)

    This had nothing to do with the above. Oil only came down with Biden completely vacating the oil reserve and leaving us helpless. That is now gone, lower than when it began in 1980. This was to buy time, among other things to allow the Ukr Offensive, but probably to bail Davos and Europe from a banking collapse too. Oh well. Failing failures fail. Surprise.

    It’s hard to tell if the Fed will lower rates, and this is true every time in the markets. In actuality, the Fed “Acts like gold” as Greenspan said, and merely follows the 1-year, leaving 23 hours for golf. Can probably be programmed with a TRS-80 computer. Right now that rate is lower, faster, and more divergent from the Fed than it’s ever been. Yet the Fed hasn’t, and doesn’t signal to do that, enforcing Luongo’s thesis they are breaking the EU as a goal FIRST. Leguarde just had to raise, which was a surprise, actually. I suspect they are all arranging “The Event” that “Isn’t my fault” and “No one saw coming” (except the whole market and all options traders, like specific airline company options on 9-10) so it’s nothing for her to raise since that’s about to happen before the market adjusts to her rate hike.

    The Fed would also “have” to cut rates then too, which is “Not my fault.” It was that darn asteroid! Who knew??? As it occurs as precisely on schedule as a worldwide pandemic we-just-wargamed-last-week did.

    Anyway, oil, markets, economy, etc are all eclipsed by this, so the article is good structure, but they’re going outside that box. …In fact all markets are ALWAYS outside that box, as they are ALWAYS 100% manipulated. I grant you Tesla, worth more than all car companies combined, vs, I dunno, silver, needed for Teslas and everything else and in supply deficit for 20 years, yet at and often below production cost. That’s free market, right? That’s Capitalism when shortages, even complete halts mean prices never rise, right?

    Gerald Celente says: a fish rots from the head down. How do you destroy a democracy(an entire society) ? Begin at the top.

    First, find a pedophile president. Second, make the dumbest stick in Texas president. Third, a fag who wasn’t even born in America. Fourth a screeching harpie who makes Hansel & Gretel’s witch seem like your kindly grannie(oops! that one didn’t work out). Finally our Weekend At Bernie’s president.

    As bad as they can get because that’s the whole point of the exercise. Plus the Bernie president comes in two parts. First term senile. Second term actually dead! But if the media don’t report it…

    They have to keep Joe Biden as a candidate for president in 2024 until they can force RFK Jr. to go third party. If Joe folds before that, RFK Jr. will be in the debates and cause all kinds of problems. Once he has gone third party they can make Newsom the Democrat candidate knowing that RFK Jr. will get more Republican votes than Democrat votes and Newsom will be elected. To further hedge their bets they can take Joe out in 2024, make Newsom the VP and then have Harris resign. Then Newsom can run as the incumbent, war President. But they have to prop Joe up until RFK Jr. makes his move.

    Post Truth Era https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/post-truth-era

    Dr. Tim Morgan at Surplus Energy Economics has posted this clear assessment:
    ​ The post-truth economy​ , Posted on September 18, 2023
    THE UNTENABLE SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF
    ​ There’s a plausible case to be made that we’re living in a “post-truth” age, and have been doing so since well before that term was “word of the year” for 2016 in the Oxford English Dictionary.
    ​ This is certainly true of the economy. The consensus narrative – propounded by decision-makers in government and business, supported by the economic orthodoxy, seldom questioned by the mainstream media and seemingly accepted by a majority of the general public – is that we can rely on an infinite continuity of economic growth.
    ​ Today’s economic problems, we are told, stem from the simple bad luck of a pandemic and a war in Eastern Europe. There is, then, no connection to a quarter-century of economic deceleration which we have tried to counter with ever more reckless financial policies.
    ​ It’s important to note that, whilst increasing numbers of people question the fairness, and indeed the honesty, with which the proceeds of growth are distributed, few seem to doubt the supposed underlying reality of economic growth itself.
    ​ This ‘consensus narrative’ is based on four propositions, each of which is false. The first of these ‘props’ is the assurance of the economic orthodoxy that sustained (as opposed to temporary) economic contraction not only isn’t happening, but can’t happen. The second prop, backing up the first, is the assertion that, aside from temporary interruptions, we’ve been experiencing near-continuous growth for as long as anyone can remember, and are still enjoying this same growth today.
    ​ The third prop is that renewable energy will carry on getting cheaper almost indefinitely, enabling us to transition away from climate-harming fossil fuels without any impairment to economic prosperity. Much of this assurance rests on the fourth prop, which is unbounded faith in the limitless potential of technology.​..
    -Big Middle Part-
    ​..Analysis of the material and the financial economies points in two directions. At the material level, managed contraction is feasible, at least in theory. The trends which are driving prosperity downwards – and which, through rises in the real costs of energy-intensive necessities, are simultaneously undermining the affordability of discretionary (non-essential) products and services – are developing in ways which, though relentless, are comparatively gradual.
    ​ The financial system, on the other hand, is incapable of gradual contraction, because it is entirely predicated on the presumption of growth in perpetuity. The moment at which we realise that infinite growth is mythical is the same moment at which we recognise that our gargantuan financial commitments can never be honoured.
    ​ We can only hope that this moment – one at which defaults cascade through the system, and asset prices crash – won’t occur until we’ve arrived at two decisions. One of these is a political and social arrangement which can manage economic contraction. The other is the development of a financial system which does not depend for its viability on the myth of infinite economic growth.​ [BRICS+ and Islamic Finance might be a workable combination going forward.]
    ​ At the top-down level, collectivism failed in the Soviet Union, whilst market capitalism has been suspended because its essential predicates – real returns on capital, and unfettered price discovery by the markets – no longer apply. Those who propose replacing the top-down with the bottom-up may have a valid case.
    ​ All that the individual can really do is to develop an understanding, informed by material realities and backed up by statistical analysis, of why and how “post-truth” economics is destined to succumb to reality.

    The BRICS Commodity Powerhouse: Can It Force a New Economic ‘Order’?​ Alastair Crooke
    The collective Non-West was able to coalesce around their urgent demand for radical reform of the global system. They want change in the global economic architecture; they contest the structures (i.e. the voting systems that lie behind those institutional structures such as the WTO, the World Bank and the IMF) – and above all they object to the weaponised dollar hegemony.
    The demand – to put it plainly – is for a seat at Top Table. Period…
    ..This is a truly radical agenda. Again, the ‘watershed’ is that the Non-West, even without Presidents Xi or Putin being present, showed it has the ‘heft’ to wrestle the G7 to a ‘fall’…
    ..Then there is the issue of the ‘Two Spheres’. Both the BRICS and G20 statements insist that their aim is not to supplant the existing ‘Order’, but to inhabit it on equitable terms, after major reconstruction and re-orientation…
    ..But isn’t it a tad naïve though, to expect the West to recant its stealth colonialism?
    Western primacy hangs on the pillars of the threat of financial and sanctions war; the monopoly of tech patents, regulatory standards and protocols, and in holding and keeping a global ‘technological edge’. Does Prime Minster Modi truly think that the West can be induced simply to relinquish these assets because the Global South asks it?
    It seems ‘a stretch’ (though no doubt Xi and Putin have explained some of these financial ‘facts of life’ to Modi).
    Well, these ‘facts of life’, which some BRICS members are not yet ready to internalise, are precisely the reason why both Russia and China are preparing an alternative Economic Sphere, totally severed from the dollar and the dollar-linked banking and financial system. It is a plan ‘B’, which can easily become plan ‘A’.
    This debate (one single trading sphere, or two) possibly will become the key issue facing the BRICS and the West. It rests with the Western reaction: Will it be possible to compel the U.S. to make such radical reforms to the present U.S.-aligned Institutions and Structures, such that a quite separate Non-Western economic sphere becomes not required?…
    ..Frankly put, the hard reality is that were the U.S. to yield up its grip over the global financial architecture, Americans’ standard-of-living may be expected to fall significantly as demand for dollars withers (with increased global own currency trading). The dollar demand, of course, will not wholly disappear.
    ​ The timing of this collective demand for a new financial architecture – a new ‘Bretton Woods’ Accord – could not have come at a more delicate moment for the West. Serendipitously for Russia and China? …
    ..Crude markets began to tighten earlier this summer after the Opec exporters’ cartel agreed to withhold oil supplies in a bid to raise prices, and Halligan tartly observes: “Anyone who downplays the power of Opec knows nothing about worldwide energy markets and even less about geopolitics”. (Emphasis added.)
    ​ Is it happenstance that a quiet financial war, triggered by the drip-drip of de-dollarisation and higher energy costs, might finally give BRICS the leverage to coerce a change of policy in the West? And should western reluctance to re-structure persist, might the BRICS leadership ratchet higher? The newly expanded BRICS, after all, is now a Commodity Powerhouse.

    ​ Paul Craig Roberts , The Nazi Biden Regime Takes Its Claim that it Has a Right to Impose Censorship on Media to Supreme Court
    The Biden Regime hopes to convince the Supreme Court that “national security” requires abandoning the US Constitution and to coerce the court into reinstating the Biden regime’s cancellation of the US Constitution.
    It is impossible for a country to survive when the values on which the country is founded are abandoned by its leaders. America is so far gone that not even the media believes in free speech and has happily accepted the role as Ministry of Propaganda.
    Certainly corporations do not respect the First Amendment. Employees must take “harassment training” to remain employed. Failure to use “Woke pronouns” constitutes harassment and grounds for firing. In other words, employees do not have freedom of speech.

    Gilbert Doctorow presents , News relating to missiles used or about to be used in Ukraine and about “Russian” ICBMs in North Korea
    ​ It is widely expected that in the coming week American president Joe Biden will announce the decision to ship American medium range missiles ATACMS to Ukraine. Discussions of this subject have been widespread in both US and European media. The focus has been on the range of missiles and whether their delivery will enable Ukraine to attack across the border into the Russian Federation itself for the purpose of destroying supplies and command centers there…
    ​..It has occurred to our journalists that North Korea presently possesses ICBMs capable of reaching the North American heartland, and as they pored over the technical characteristics of these missiles they noted that one seems to be very close in design to Soviet era missiles that were once the mainstay of the Russian strategic arsenal. I am speaking of the Korean rebranded Topol-M.
    ​ It is not surprising, therefore, that some folks in the States are wondering how is it that the Russians were able to get away with supplying the designs of the Topol-M to Pongyang without the United States raising a hullaballoo.
    ​ The answer, my friends, is in the inconvenient fact that those responsible for providing North Korea with production plans and technology for manufacturing the Topol-M were not Russians; they were Ukrainians. This story is discussed in an article on a Russian news portal a couple of days ago. See https://life.ru/p/1349991
    ​ According to the authors, the Ukrainians sold to the North Koreans part of the technology but not all. For example, they held back the secrets of the solid fuel used in this missile, which the Koreans had to develop on their own. Moreover, for the guidance system, the Koreans were assisted or copied a system developed by the Chinese. What this tells us is that if the Koreans should agree with the Kremlin on the purchase of one or another missile-related technology, its integration into their own production will be done by the Koreans themselves.

    ​ Ukraine could have avoided hundreds of thousands of deaths and lost less land if it had reached a peace deal with Russia before the conflict began last February, former US President Donald Trump told NBC News in an interview aired on Sunday.
    ​ The loss of Ukrainian territory to Russia is “something that could have been negotiated,” Trump told NBC host Kristen Welker, adding that “a lot of people expected” Kiev to abandon its claims to “Crimea and other parts of the country” in exchange for peace.
    ​ “So they could have made a deal where there’s less territory [lost] than Russia has already taken,” Trump continued. “They could have made a deal where nobody was killed…they would have had a Ukrainian country. Now nobody even knows if Ukraine is going to be totally taken over.”​ …
    ..Trump then repeated his claim that if elected next year, he would have a peace deal worked out within 24 hours.
    ​ “I’d get [Russian President Vladimir Putin] into a room, I’d get [Ukrainian President Vladimir] Zelensky into a room, then I’d bring them together and I’d have a deal worked out,” he told Welker.
    ​ “It would have been easier if the war didn’t start, and you’d have hundreds of thousands of people living, most importantly,” he noted. “But I can get it done and I can get it done quickly.”

    Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in fresh statements made to reporters has said the Untied States in waging war against Russia through the Ukraine proxy war.
    ​ Lavrov in the Russian-language comments described that Washington is not only transferring some $100 billion in military aid to Kiev, but is actually controlling its decision-making. He further said this is in order to try and inflict a “strategic defeat” on Russia.
    ​ The top Russian diplomat was speaking on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum on Sunday morning. “No matter what it says, it [the US] controls this war, it supplies weapons, munition, intelligence information, data from satellites, it is pursuing a war against us,” he said, according to a translation.

    ​ EU’s Ukraine Grain Policy Fractures Europe: Poland, Hungary & Slovakia Remain Defiant
    ​ The European Union’s Friday announcement effectively ending its import ban on Ukrainian grain in five member states has once again put Brussels on a collision course with some key eastern and central European members. “Existing measures will expire today,” the European Commission stated, reportedly based on verbal promises that Kiev will control exports.
    ​ Soon after the Russian invasion, the EU sought control measures by placing quotas and tariffs on Ukrainian foodstuffs; however, the flood of cheap Ukrainian grain into European markets threatened the survival of farmers in places like Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia. Some of these very countries – Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia – have now said they aren’t playing ball, and have announced in unison they will defy the EU decision and are extending the temporary ban.

    Ukraine initially moved ahead quickly in the war to use combat drones, especially repurposed consumer “racing” drones with First Person View capabilities for the operator.
    ​ ‘Upyr’​ (‘Vampire’): Advanced Russian Drone Wreaks Havoc on Ukrainian Army Across Frontline
    ​ The Upyr drone was designed to help the Russian Army stage attacks on the enemy deep in the front line to halt the supply of ammunition and destroy armored vehicles in masked positions.
    ​ The UAV can carry RPG-7 mortar grenades, such as the PG-7VL and the RKG-3M, as well as anti-tank hand grenades. Additionally, the drone can be armed with high-explosive fragmentation bombs made directly in a combat zone.
    ​ A Russian company making the Upyr drones recently announced that the UAV’s flight range has been doubled thanks to the development of the “Udlinitel” transponder. The company added that the upgraded Upyr drone was equipped with a new video transmitter and a new video receiver, which helps it tackle electronic warfare (EW) systems aimed at jamming drones.

    ​ There is some diplomatic conflict between Canada and India, which is showing up as Canada declaring that India murdered a Canadian Sikh (wanted in India) and India holding Justin Trudeau on the tarmac for 36 hours for drugs found by sniffer dogs, which would not typically be anywhere near a state aircraft carrying diplomats.

    ​ Canadian COVID vaccines neither “Safe” nor “Effective”
    ​ COVID-19 vaccines were authorized in Canada during 2020 and 2021 without being subjected to the country’s safety tests as required under established drug regulations, revealed an accountability watchdog.
    ​ “Canadians are relying on representations as to the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines,” which Health Canada has never determined, the letter said. “Some might draw the conclusion that the misrepresentation to Canadians of proven safety is intentional, made while knowing it to be false and intending it to be relied upon.”
    ​ “As a matter of common sense, the objective falsity of the ‘proven safe’ claim brings into question the basis for informed consent to the administration of the injections, creating potentially enormous liabilities.”
    ​ In the current context, the organization pointed out that the population immunity has increased along with the latest variants being “milder.”
    “In the face of your government’s reported intention to promote booster injections in coming months, the urgency now lies in telling the truth to Canadians and taking corrective action.”
    ​ The NCI asked the prime minister to withdraw COVID-19 vaccines “until the normal rigorous evaluation can be completed” and to reinstate the traditional objective test for safety.

    ​ Family Opposes Motion to Dismiss Lawsuit Against DOD Over Death of 24-Year-Old From COVID-Vaccine-Related Myocarditis
    ​ The family of a 24-year-old man who died of complications from COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis today contested a motion to dismiss its lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), which oversaw the development and distribution of the vaccines under Operation Warp Speed.
    ​ Ray Flores, Children’s Health Defense (CHD) outside counsel, is representing the estate of George Watts Jr.
    Flores filed the memorandum in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. CHD is funding the lawsuit filed on May 31.
    ​ The Watts family alleges Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin engaged in “willful misconduct” by exaggerating the safety of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine authorized for emergency use and then exclusively allowed distribution of the stockpiled version of the vaccine even after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted full approval to a different vaccine, Comirnaty…
    ​..Responding to DOD’s assertion that it did not engage in “willful misconduct,” the plaintiff wrote:
    ​ “[The] Defendant’s Motion improperly attempts to shift the focus away from DOD’s indisputable liability for hornswoggling Americans into participating in its deadly mass human experiment — one that far surpassed the reach of the lethal medical experimentation that led to the U.S. Military Tribunals of Nazi doctors in Nuremberg some 75 years earlier.
    ​ “DOD’s experiment pushed several hundred million free vaccines on a trusting American public with an intentionally deceptive promise that the vaccines were safe and efficacious, while Operation Warp Speed (‘OWS’) kept detailed records and an ongoing tally of the severely injured and the dead.”

    I Love Science: Really from the song he loves material and production engineers. He loves Capitalism, and he enthusiastically loves Oil that provides the cheap energy that makes it go. Scientists are boring, pointless, and as they all disagree, at any given time half of them are wrong. I give examples daily on this, from debunking this cray-cray “Continental Drift” to the impossibility of epigenetics, both totally and very obviously true, and took generations to knock it into their heads.

    Now they just created the world’s largest machine, that uses more electric power than “Europe”. It has more imbedded copper than the Kennecott Mine. It took 70 years to build, starting in 1950, through every war, recession, hardship, sacrifice, etc.

    Guess what? It found buppkus. They, “Science” is basically wandering away from it. Nothing it says makes any sense or is in the slightest useful because their total original theory is complete s—t and totally wrong. Adding tiny rocks does not create consciousness. The Materialist view, as in “Scientific Materialism”, a religion, is totally wrong, and nothing new has happened since Einstein put them in a dead end 100 years ago. “Matter exists” as we know it only down to about Plank’s Length, then the reality that matter is just a big fat illusion starts to appear.

    All the people who ACTUALLY did something, and then have creative patents following, like Maxwell and Tesla, were “etherists”. Electric universe people. And also believers in consciousness.

    I love Science because I love watching smart people be totally dead wrong for a lifetime, and die with the protest of wrong on their lips, as Science ONLY proceeds EVER, one funeral at a time. But I have a funny sense of humor that way. It’s welcome to see people live their lives solely as a bad example to others, and I appreciate their daily sacrifice in that regard.

    The new arms race: Artificial intelligence

    How are the US and other governments dealing with the meteoric rise of artificial intelligence and its availability to people around the globe? This is an imperative question that has caused great apprehension for a number of governments, including Italy, which banned ChatGPT over privacy concerns. The MO’s Manila Chan speaks to international relations expert Andy Mok about the rise of AI and how governments are responding to the emergence of systems like ChatGPT.

    The Empire of Lies keeps shilling ‘wonder weapon game changers’ to Ukronaziland.

    You know Patriots, Leopards, Challengers, Himars, now ATACMS.

    None of them have been or are ‘game changers’

    They are weapons designed for profit not performance and more importantly, they are Weapons for the LAST War.

    Like aircraft carriers, they are so 20th century.

    The Empire of Lies Gangster Nation has been so busy these last 75 years starting fights like a bully who can only “kicking kids in wheelchairs” that it never concentrated on things like missile defense system that the Russians are LIGHT YEARS ahead in this specialty.

    The Russian S-500 ‘Prometheus’ is came online in 2021.

    It can pretty much shoot down anything, it’s hypersonic and the S-500 can detect and simultaneously engage up to 10 ballistic hypersonic targets flying at a speed of 5 kilometres per second.

    It also aims at destroying hypersonic cruise missiles and other aerial targets at speeds of higher than Mach 5, as well as spacecraft

    It is effective against Empire of Lies ICBM ballistic missiles with a launch range of 2,200 mi.

    It also defends against unmanned aerial vehicles, low Earth orbit satellites (STARLINK), space weapons launched from hypersonic aircraft, and hypersonic orbital platforms.

    The Russian S-500 ‘Prometheus’ is a Game Changer

    The Russian S-500 ‘Prometheus’ produces Penis Envy in the Empire of Lies Military Mafia.

    The Empire of Lies Military Mafia has zero to combat it. Like ZERO

    So no, the real ‘game changers’ are all Russian.

    And the Drone Wars are just starting.

    That where the real future lies.

    Any Russia is miles and miles and miles ahead of the Empire of Lies Military Mafia in terms of Electronic Warfare and jamming enemy drone signals while encrypting their own drones with tamper proof controls.

    Ukronaziland can’t have drone production or factories, like EVER, because the Russians will sniff them out and blow them up. Period.

    AI combined with ‘Drone Swarms’ will eventually get rid of all manned aircraft.

    It will be one Honked Out AI battling another using drones as a way of Reaching Out and Touching Someone.

    The Collective West, Euroturdistan and the Empire of Lies Gangster Nation will never have an industrial production base to match Russia and China plus the BRICs countries’ production output.

    And NO, the collective west will never ‘automate’ weapons production. They will be lucky to keep the lights on and food on their tables.

    Fossil fuel, the MASTER Resource is out-of-reach for them, not to mention not enough CHEAP resources to make-stuff…..

    Some kid trying to make a name for himself by finally proving the Holocaust deniers to be wrong and trying to prove to the deniers that the Holocaust happened … https://www.unz.com/article/the-evidence-for-the-holocaust/. All the action is in the comments, the author having challenged the readers, a challenge he decidedly lost due to his brainwashing that “holocaust deniers” are all lunatics and mentally ill.

    That’s the trouble with academia, they all think they are the first to have thought of it, when in reality many strong minds have demolished their arguments many times in the past, but the Jews have lots and lots of money, so they can keep these idiots coming for as long as it takes, they can also keep the laws coming that stop people from questioning the holocaust.

    Well, they’ve always failed upward before! Isn’t that what “failing” means? Isn’t that HOW one is promoted? Sorry, I’ve never seen promotions WITHOUT failing, so I was unclear on the concept. Sure, NOW you tell me that success is supposed to be the reason for dominance and promotion: how was I supposed to know?

    I was talking to an ex-colleague the other day, we were discussing why, during his long career as a project manager and consultant in the financial industry, that after every project was delivered, someone in the organisation would decide to fire him rather than keep him on for the next project. Meanwhile all the lazy good for nothings are getting promoted.

    The conclusion we came to is that doing stuff, such as forcing a project to be delivered on time, will involve pissing a few people off … you can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. People are weak and to appease their egos they will try to get back at the people who made them look bad. Hence he was never fired during the project, the agrieved person would only ever get him fired once the project was over and it was safe to do so, meaning no blame would be attributed to him/her.

    I believe this is true of most companies, the 20% that does stuff tends to piss off the 80% who are there for the ride, as a result the 80% will try to expel the 20% and the result is that management is populated with the 80%, with people who would rather do nothing than rock the boat.
