    Someone wondered on these pages about the political, business, high tech, medical leaders of the world run in same pedophile circles and engage in the same criminal behaviors as a matter of habit BECOZ the sharks appear to be circuit Barack Obama vis a vis, wrt the P Diddy connection to everyone including Justin Bieber.

    Nothing about the story of the so-called Routh letter makes any sense. I’m inclined to believe if he actually wrote it he did so under orders while in custody in NYC. For what reason he would be ordered to is another question. If he actually wrote it, that is.

    New plan: We’re going to HAVE the election, just not COUNT it. …This was half the plan last time except it was so easy. It’ll be Voting day, then voting week, then voting month…as they find ever-increasing Harris ballots, all 450 Million of them, one box at a time, day after day.

    Aaaaaand then who will be President? Well, we have no President now, so who cares? And Harris will already be in via the 25th, so she’ll be certifying her own election! Go Arizona!

    Okay, so will the MILITARY, who is already running foreign policy, not put the kabosh on this? Say we found so much fraud, in every state (and that’s the plan, not to Win, but to Confuse) that they will hold the Presidency in suspension – Like our hero! Churchill himself: Zelensky! — just stay President forever and ever while we hold that second vote. …Someday. Honest.

    Considering the Pentagon is running foreign policy right now, maybe it’s not so much that the toddlers on are on the shopping cart, turning the inflatable steering wheel, thinking it does something, so much as whether they the Pentagon TELL us and ADMIT they are doing something. That is, the same action of the Pentagon doing military rule will happen, the question is whether it will be PUBLIC and can get it through either the retarded media or the retarded public.

    Just a guess. If it were otherwise, we would have seen the first gyrations now, and I don’t see them, which has been unexpected. Still, I am NOT in favor of military rule, but if they get out of line, then I’ll have to go fight THEM to restore civilian government instead of the knuckleheads we’re already fighting. If they are against the contract we wrote for the Constitution, they are all my enemy, and are on a VERY short leash, even ESPECIALLY under Cheeto the conniver. He-Who-Has-Never-Done-Nuffin’

    “According to Col. Wilkerson, Sec’y of Defense Lloyd Austin told the “president” to his face that there will be no flinging of US-supplied long-range missiles from Ukraine “deep into Russia,” as the neocon-infested White House has been chattering about endlessly.” (Kunstler)

    Yeah, uh, might want to check a map. That’s not “Deep” into Russia. That’s very very very very SHALLOW into Russia. You’re more like 3” on the map, not a turgid 10″. Gee, did you make the Urals? Oh, not even HALFWAY to the Urals, which aren’t even 1/3 of the way into Russia? So…yer talkin’ like within 100 miles of the border? Uh-huh. Well just like we once had all our planes in Kansas so you couldn’t reach them, Russia has their factories in the 4th time zone, further from Kiev than D.C. is from Sacramento. You boobs. Just another way your Stormshadows are laughable, as well as useless, small, and outdated to me. Break out the Sopwith Camels!

    “Deep into Russia”. Is there ANYTHING they won’t lie about? Should I check the weather and make sure the sky is blue? They can’t say “Barely into Russia” because that would be self-evident that the Plan is retarded and they are too.

    “Who knows, the Brits are so nuts these days that perhaps they’ll try to pull it off on their own.”

    Yes. They definitely will. I don’t know what trebuchet + slingshot they can come up with, but they’ve been on a cultural death wish for nigh over 100 years. They’re a death cult from Orkney to Man. Killin’ some folks, but making sure to rape 11-year-old along the way.

    That leads into Zelensky’s “Victory Plan” his mommy required him to do a book report on. The plan IS TO FORCE THE UNITED STATES TO ATTACK FOR THEM. Not NATO: there IS no NATO, since e.g. there is no British Army. At all. There is no German Army even. ALLLLLLL of them said, “Why have an army when we can make YOU do it for us, Cleetus Gump???” As Trump very. Clearly. Told them on about the time he ALSO said, “why are you planning on attacking a guy WHILE getting all your gas from them?” 2% GDP? Not even. And none of that was gainfully spent. The German Army has been a joke since the 90’s, 30 years ago, and no one will join but the worst dregs.

    Anyway, EVERYONE’S “Victory Plan” is to “write it right here on this spreadsheet and email it to the shop floor elves, or whoever that is, I’ve-never-actually-left-this-office-to-see-who.

    But I TOLD them I wanted it!!! Really loud! In this Planning Document (that we didn’t fund).

    I go on and on, but I got nothin’. Time Exists? Material Reality is…real? Ask any corporation in America, they all act the same: what? you need…PHONES…and MEN….to run a call center??? Whoa, whoa whoa, let’s not go crazy here! How about we think outside the box and NOT have phones…or employees…and just SAY we answered the calls??? Eh? Eh?”

    “The phone calls are how we collect revenue into the company, ma’am.”

    “Yeah, but I’m not the REVENUE department, am I? I don’t care what happens in accounting.”

    You THINK I am kidding. But no, I am not.

    Dr. Day: “But what if we don’t listen to, and KILL all our patients instead: do we get paid same price?” Um, yes, but you might be missing the point? A: You’re fired.

    Anyway, that’s the plan from Voldemort “The Daily Starmer” to BoJo the Clown – their version of the Joker, who’s also fat and stupid: “Ukraine enters NATO, see?” Yes. “Then we call Article 5 see?” Yes. “Then YOU do all the fighting while we watch!” No. What part of “Russia already defeated all NATO didn’t you understand?” A: The part where all America mobilizes all resources nationwide, murders 5-10 million of our people crossing the ocean, and STILL loses utterly in an escalating nuclear war.

    Garland Nixon pointed this out yesterday, as he has before, but more directly: If you take Russia, it’s all over. RUSSIA is OPEC+. Take Russia, you control Saudi’s oil leverage. You control Africa’s Wheat leverage. You control China’s resource leverage. You don’t have to fire a shot. Just go tell China, “Well boys, you’d better play along with us neoliberal neocons and DO WHAT YOU’RE TOLD from the shiftless, workless, retarded gay capital of Europe. If not, we’ll cut off your food and oil.” They don’t have to attack China at all. Anywhere. And since Baby Bush – I mean not the puppet but actual humans like Cheney – wait I mean actual lizard people like PNAC – attack Iraq, take the oil control, screw China the way we once screwed Japan, only larger.

    Whoops! They were such feckless inbred retards they couldn’t take even ONE 3rd world nation with $1 TRILLION dollars and the whole state department behind them, not in 25 years. But anyway, you can see now that was “The Plan.” And having LOST every plan, FOR being feckless, maniacal, inbred retards, they THEN thought “Aha! We’ve failed every WHERE on every THING we’ve ever tried – even running a baseball team – but we’re going to ATTACK AND INVADE AND CONQUER ALL OF RUSSIA…

    …AFTER destroying every last asset, man, and good will of the U.S. Army with idiot former wars. Not first, mind you, in 1994 massing a million men in Kuwait, but AFTER. With…mmmm…10 men? 10,000 men?

    You THINK I am kidding. But no, I am not.

    Anyway, THAT is why “They”, the Daily Starmers and the Jokers HAVE to attack and kill Russia. Or go – oh wait past-tense – ALREADY are bankrupt. Because without Russia, no nuttin’ on no WEF, no nuttin’ on no UN, no nuttin’ on no World Government, world bank, or world power. The End.

    So I sympathize. Oh wait: no I don’t. This is what Nazis DO: attack everyone, everywhere, with nothing, then get entirely annihilated, because they’re insane religious zealots of power who can’t be reasoned with. No one will be safe until they are hung or in prison for their thousand crimes.

    “the limited tit-for-tat, calibrated war – which never played best to Hizbullah’s strengths. Clearly, a new phase of war has begun, and to underline this point, Israel began one of its heaviest strikes on Israel (copy editor, he means Lebanon)”

    Anyway, yes, thanks to them being rabid, mass-murdering, genocidal maniacs, the STATE of Lebanon is now in the game. It HAS been that they tolerate Hezbollah, half good cop bad cop, but always restrain and settle, being an anchor and wet blanket to Hezbollah. NOPE. Now Lebanon says, “Go forth and prosper”, do whatever you want to do, boys. Do it to Israel, you have our blessing.

    So Israel MIGHT have fought only a Hezb, and only 2/3rd of that, but instead they wanted to fight ALL of Hezb AND all of Lebanon. Nice going. Why? To use that pocket nuke (or whatever that was) to try to draw the United States in and fight their war, which we ain’t a-gonna. Hhahahaha! Good luck. All Aspnaz aside, nope.

    I don’t follow this because: why? But as headlined, Israel could fight ONE of them (Gaza, and lost) but instead want, arranged, FORCED to fight FOUR: Gaza, Hexb/Lebanon, West Bank (internal) AND Iran. Why stop there? Go best out of seven: Egypt/Jordan as they attempt to expel citizens AND Turkey. And Syria. And Cyprus. And South Africa, diplomatically. C’mon Satan! Don’t be a p—sy! Show us the master race! Your gay tranny army will put them down in no time.

    “• DoJ Releases Trump Assassin’s $150,000 Reward To “Complete The Job” Letter (ZH)

    You are kidding, right? Me thinks if you show up to collect that, you MIIIIIIIIGHT be in a bit of trouble? “Hi. FBI? Yeah, I’m making plans to collect that $150Grand? Yes, if you can get it in a paper bag, I’ll get in my car in Miami and start for MaraLago today. Thanks. My name and number? 555-1212, and it’s Chad the Hickster, Brooklyn…”

    What struck me though was the handwriting: that’s not the handwriting of a 5-felon, unemployed, ex-roofer. That’s the handwriting of, say, an artist from Hollywood. And a woman also if I’m not mistaken, somebody who writes longhand for a living all the time, which is remarkable in itself, and in 2024 reduces the pool of suspects to like 10. Might look into that? Or even the whole “package” he left? GTFO. I was born on a Monday, but not LAST Monday.

    “• Dear Readers, Tyranny Is Upon Us (Paul Craig Roberts)

    Yes, but only since 2001. 1964. 1944. 1844. Pick a side. I hear we should all give up instead, so that’s picking one.

    “The fighting between Russia and Ukraine is likely to rage on for at least another two years, the UK foreign secretary has predicted”

    Speaking of: Blacks will shoot all Tren in Chicago, they say: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBZkGyDH9wk Problem solved. But wait! That would be against the law!

    “• Macron Calls For New World Order (RT)

    Yup, caught that. Still out in the open. Still a crazy conspiracy theory after they say it on international TV day after day. Still waiting for someone to notice.

    In early 2024, he said the West should not rule out the deployment of NATO troops on Ukrainian soil”

    They did. Russia blew them all up. The end. They seem to think this is 1944, 1964, and nothing can dissuade them. We have a thing called “a missile” now? Might have heard of it? V2 ring any bells? Nope. “I wrote “You’re not allowed to shoot missiles” right here on this spreadsheet.”

    ““What’s at stake is the extremely complex design of a brand-new financial system – decentralized and using digital technology.”

    I’m more interested in TRUMP saying the same thing: “We’re going to get rid of our…old and outdated banking system…” Who are all their donors, and half the control of the United States. Via Jamie Dimon, who you can see on TV speaking his mind. Soooo….somebody wanna tell me how Trump – who has to be working with or allied with Dimon – is saying they’re going to effectively erase the NY Banking system? And nothing, no news? No pivots, no shooting?

    …Yeah, ‘cause NY has a PLAN on this. And it’s THEIR plan, past-tense, all ready to roll. Maybe old-time banking DOES go away, but the banks and stocks still exist in the digital cryptosphere and still make their nut, allocate capital in a capitalist system (lite), and compete with China and the Crypto-world. I guess that falls into the “What are they NOT talking about” category. That should be news so big it’s seen from the moon, but nope. Nothing. Trump hates Taylor Swift (system).

    This is dead-on Luongo’s theory, and is crushing Europe, which has set up the Berlin Wall and is a crater.

    “the political, business, high tech, medical leaders of the world run in same pedophile circles and engage in the same criminal behaviors as a matter of habit”

    Duh. I’d never let them anywhere near power unless I had blackmail on them. Because if they didn’t have blackmail, they might reveal the blackmail someone has on ME. So it CAN ONLY be one big happy club. And you ain’t in it (I hope). Weird, but if you think about it, the fact it must logically exist is inescapable. Criminals can ONLY tolerate criminals. If you get a new accountant at Tony’s, he can ONLY be a Corleone or they would notice the books, capesce?

    Totally unrelated : 20 record execs and heads all retired yesterday after erasing all Social Media accounts. I’m sure it’s a coincidence. More time (raping) their family.

    Are you kidding? I despair of proofreading, even though I do. A lot. I’m getting to despair of even READING fast enough, at 500 words a minute, to catch half of what I need.

    People Less Fooled Over Time https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/people-less-fooled-over-time

    There is a lot of contextual shift to address in the global power struggles between neoliberal-globalists and nationalists: at the imperial periphery, Israel, and the imperial center, Washington & US elections, and as carried out by the empire against Russia, the stalwart non-vassal.
    The Imperial court lacks a chief executive at the moment, as Joe Biden forgets that he is introducing the Prime Minister of India, and Jill Biden leads the first cabinet meeting in a year. There is disagreement among the high-courtiers as to who holds which responsibilities to decide, and what is decided today. That was addressed in the two very good articles posing this as a Coup in the Washington establishment, which were presented in the last post, and are linked here:
    Alex Krainer, Was there a palace coup at the White House? https://alexkrainer.substack.com/p/was-there-a-palace-coup-at-the-white
    and here, Thomas Neubrger, An American Coup? https://swentr.site/russia/604441-boris-johnson-over-russia/
    It is probably more fair to cast this as a power struggle within the imperial court pertaining to foreign policy regarding war, with the provocative State Department being overruled by the conservative Pentagon, which reportedly vetoed provoking war with Russia (any further) and reportedly told Israel that they are on-their-own if they provoke war with Hezbollah and or Iran. Both Hezbollah and Iran want to bleed the Israeli economy in the long game, not be obliterated by Israeli nuclear weapons.

    We cannot be certain of these reports, so we are watching events as Zelensky has flown to the US to present his war-plan/ultimatum to Washington.
    This plan/ultimatum is rumored to be: “Give us NATO membership, NATO troops, NATO weapons and money or we turn Ukraine back over to Russia and all of your Ukrainian financial investments will cease to exist.”
    In the Levant Israel used the pager-bombs, the walkie-talky-bombs and the exploding solar collectors, then bombed at least one huge residential building to kill one Hezbollah leader, but has only provoked Hezbollah to send more ordinary rockets through the porous “Iron Dome”, hitting Israeli military sites, the main Israeli port of Haifa, and other areas in Haifa, since the missiles are not precision-guided. Northern Israeli agriculture and industry are shut down, and there are something like 120,000 internal Jewish Israeli refugees complaining, and in need of support. Hezbollah can and will keep that pressure up forever, or until Israel withdraws from Gaza, instead of leveling it and finishing the Palestinian genocide, so that the seaside real estate can be developed. Many think the State of Israel will fail to exist by this persistence of aggression, met by slow economic asphyxiation from small, resolute neighbors. If “Israel” does concede a real Palestinian state, then the “State” of Israel will begin crumbling from contradictions inherent in its own internal apartheid composition. This is internal fracture currently forestalled by the state-unifying genocidal war to steal Palestinian lands and kill or eject Palestinians from them.

    The global financial empire funded by the $US is threatened by the loss of global reserve currency status for the $US, and also by its (former) status as the only currency for trading oil. The $US is not going away, but it will soon be one of several competing global investment platforms. Investment is 8X trade in currency flows, I read. Investments in $US have long been secured by high US interest rates, assuring a real turn on investment, even though it bled the productive economy, and inhibited productive industrial investment in the US, as established productive industries could seldom afford those high rates.
    Globalist interests are pleased enough to collapse the US and pick the carcass, as they did with the USSR, but nationalist interests would rather cut expenses and invest in productive industries in the US. Producing oil and natural gas feeds real industry, and the US has those assets to extract. Globalists have been suppressing the production of these limited supplies, but an economic rejuvenation will depend upon them. Trump is right to say that pumping more oil cheaply will lower the costs and inflation people experience. We don’t know how long that can persist. Obviously a lot of public and private debts will be defaulted upon, to the loss of the global-investing class, one may hope.
    In the near term (how near?) the leveraged global Ponzi finance scheme is due to collapse, which could be prompted by the recognition that vast Ukrainian assets, pledged as loan collateral, have ceased to be “Ukrainian” or “pledged”. There are other potential triggers also standing in line, and the Bank Of England, and City of London have undue exposure to this risk-or-certainty (depending upon your perspective).

    Rothschild-Paris banker… French Ruler Calls For A New World Order
    French President Emmanuel Macron has called for reform of the current “unjust” world order so that humans can coexist more peacefully in the “New World Order.”
    What the ruler didn’t say was that the slaves would still be slaves, and governments would still rule them, it’s only that illusion that is going to go away.
    While speaking before the Catholic community of Sant’Egidio, Macron said “We must be imaginative enough to think about the peace of tomorrow, a peace in Europe in a new form.” If the European continent is to become more stable, everyone should acknowledge that it is “neither quite the European Union nor resolutely NATO,” he stated. “We will have to think of a new form of organization for Europe and rethink our relationship with Russia” after the Ukraine conflict is over, the president added. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/frances-macron-calls-end-incomplete-unjust-world-order

    A platform for multilateral settlements and payments in BRICS digital currencies, connecting the financial markets of BRICS members: that’s BRICS Bridge, which bears similarities with the Bank of International Settlements-linked MBridge, already in effect. That will complement intrabank systems already in action, as in Russia’s SPFS and Iran’s CPAM settling financial transactions – and 60% of their trade – in their own currencies.
    A blockchain-based payment system that entirely bypasses the US dollar: BRICS Pay. Arguably 159 participants may be ready to adopt this sanction-evading, similar-to-SWIFT mechanism right away.
    A settlement depository (Clear).
    An insurance system.
    And crucially a BRICS rating agency, independent from the Western giants.
    What’s at stake is the extremely complex design of a brand-new financial system – decentralized and using digital technology. BRICS Clear, for instance, will be using blockchain to record securities and exchange them.
    As for The Unit, the value of the common unit of account is pegged by 40% to gold and by 60% to a basket of BRICS member’s national currencies. The BRICS Business Council considers The Unit a “convenient and universal” instrument, since a unit can be converted into any national currency.​..
    ..One of the analysts added a very important, specific point: “By now the situation is pretty clear, to properly address the issue of cross-border payments. The best mechanism should be based on the New Development Bank (NDB), given that Russia has a mandate to propose the new president of that organization. Whoever the candidate will be, cross-border payments should be at the top of his agenda.”
    ​ The NDB is the BRICS bank, based in Shanghai. The analyst hopes this decision on the future of the NDB will be made before the BRICS summit: “Given the diplomatic and political considerations, the candidate should be made known, formally or informally to the member countries.”…
    ​..So what may be in the cards is a NDB/IMF reshuffle on the Russian front. The focus should be on the potential for future productive change – rather than missed opportunities; the NDB’s policies so far have not been exactly revolutionary – considering that the bank’s statutes are linked to the US dollar.
    ​ The new deal could place the NDB as leverage for a reform of the IMF, rather than an alternative to it.
    ​ The “Kissinger moment” does play a key role in this equation. It will highlight that until the moment turns into reality, the NDB should be the sole actor for effective changes in crucial matters like the stability of the financial infrastructure.
    And from that perspective, as one of the analysts note, “The UNIT and all other similar projects may be presented as complementary risk management tools hedging against reckless monetary policies and Global Financial Crisis-2 risks.”​…
    ​..I posed the same BRICS question to the Russian analysts also to indispensable Prof. Michael Hudson – who actually provided a concise in-depth critique of what may be on the table, while offering a different solution.
    ​ For Prof. Hudson, “a new institution has to be created – a Central Bank empowered to issue credit to finance the trade and payments deficits of some countries, with an artificial ​Bancor-type SDR [Special Drawing Rights].”
    ​ Prof. Hudson argues “this would be different (his italics) from a clearing house system for existing banks. It would be a BRICS’ IMF. Its ​Bancors credit or balance sheet would only be for settlements among governments, not a generally traded currency. Indeed, making the ​Bancor widely traded as a speculative vehicle (such as the UNIT is) would introduce major instability and have nothing to do with the needed bank transfer balance sheet.”​ A reformed NDB, possibly next year under a new Russian presidency, should have all it takes to become a “BRICS’ IMF.”
    ​ Prof. Hudson adds that “to succeed, the Kazan conference should be a full-fledged BRICS Bretton Woods. Maybe it is too soon to actually introduce a fait accompli. Perhaps it would be a venue to throw open a set of alternatives — including what would happen by ‘doing nothing’ and going with the current IMF system. The fact that the IMF just cancelled its trip to analyze the Russian economy may be a catalyst.”​ …
    ​..Prof. Hudson makes an essential last point on the Global South’s dollar debt: he stresses “how to handle BRICS members existing overhang of dollar debts” is a major problem.
    ​ What is clear is that “the BRICS bank [the NDB] should not finance deficits by member countries for such payments. In practice, there would have to be a moratorium on such payments – in view of the present weaponization of Western finance.”
    ​ Prof. Hudson recalls the chapter in his book Super Imperialism “on how the US moved against Britain in 1944 to get an agreement that it then presented as a pro-US fait accompli to Europe.” The book “reviews all the arguments that took place there.”
    ​ Prof. Hudson wishes he would be part of the new, ongoing process. Imagine if BRICS+ manages to pull it off: getting a Global Majority-approved agreement on a new, equitable, fair financial system then presented to the $35 trillion-indebted superpower as a fait accompli.​ https://sputnikglobe.com/20240923/pepe-escobar-will-a-brics-bretton-woods-take-place-in-kazan-1120257701.html

    Simplicius, Israel Putters into Crisis, + Zelensky Arrives at Final Curtain Call
    China strongly condemns [presumed Israeli] the indiscriminate pager and walkie-talky attacks and calls for full investigation.
    Israeli TV says Lebanese civilians are indistinguishable from “terrorists”.
    ..But what’s been understated is the true reason for why Israel is suddenly so desperate to expand the war to Lebanon. There are several reasons, of course, with varying importance; and while each play a part, let’s look at the most significant.
    1. Firstly, Israel’s economy is in danger of crumbling partly owing to the fact that the productivity of the entire north has been disrupted by ongoing repercussions of the Hezbollah fight. Tens if not hundreds of thousands of settlers have fled, farms have been abandoned, etc. This much Netanyahu has openly stated even yesterday in a new speech—that the north must be ‘secured’ in order to bring people back, otherwise it can turn into an abandoned wasteland as Israelis don’t quite have the same taste for subsisting amid open hostilities as the nearby Arabs whom they’ve subjected to such conditions for years.
    This was exacerbated today when Hezbollah unleashed a large attack which pierced the Iron Dome and slammed into several neighborhoods. The damage seemed unclear but houses, cars, etc., appeared on fire from published videos.
    We’ll call this reason the most overt and ostensibly ‘official’ one, for the sake of political optics. But there are deeper ones.
    2. Another major reason that few have gleaned or spoken of is a broader strategic one. Israel has not only likely deduced its time is running out due to the wane of the US Empire which is its chief sponsor, but more specifically, Israel may be taking advantage of a short window of unprecedented American weakness and absence of leadership.
    As most know, there is pretty much no one in the ‘driver’s seat’ of the executive branch at the moment. The entire US government is being run managerially by deep state operatives, members of the cabinet, etc. After Joe Biden was openly couped months ago, he has effectively been placed in a kind of holding cell, where he appears to have been instructed to keep quiet, out of the spotlight, and run out the clock under threat of consequences. The country is now being entirely run by a slew of minions like Jake Sullivan, Antony Blinken, etc…
    ..Getting back, this is all to say that Israel may see its historic chance to do as much damage and go as ‘off-script’ as possible in light of the leadership crisis suffered by the US. Israel may like its chances in getting away with murder, no pun intended, without much consequences. Even more diabolically, Israel may sense the opportunity in the confusion of US’ disastrously floundering executive branch to pull the US into a wider war with Iran.
    In short: it is a strategy of taking advantage of America at its weakest point for maximum gain.
    3. The final reasons are fairly academic: Netanyahu’s attempt to save his regime by expanding the conflict indefinitely—not dissimilar from the trap Zelensky is in.
    As I said in the opening, however, I remain skeptical about the war breaking out uncontrollably given that the Iranian-Hezbollah side does not seem to have a taste for major conflict at the moment, nor even consensus between the two. After all, Hezbollah has reportedly expressed disappointment and even irritation at Iran earlier for not carrying through with larger action against Israel…
    ..Zelensky’s “plan”: Apparently the plan hinges on Biden extending a NATO and EU invitation to Zelensky, not to mention commitments for endless arms supplies thereafter. I’ve no idea how that will create peace, but I suppose it would mean a ‘victory’ for Ukraine, were it to actually happen. Unfortunately the chances of Ukraine getting an invitation to either of those are below zero…
    ..Flummoxed, the West finds itself between pillar and post:
    “There are no good choices here — it’s just degrees of bad going forward,” said Samuel Charap, a senior political scientist at Rand, adding that “accepting Russian conditions that are unacceptable” would be a mistake. Instead, he urged “a combination of deterrence and potential negotiations.”
    The article finishes on the grand vision of combating Putin, which is in effect, creating a supranational new totalitarian deep state order to rule over the West permanently, in order to Trump-proof and, in general, future-proof the West’s anti-Russian hostility, so no truly democratic force can emend it later on…
    ..In light of the above article making mention of the ‘overpowering global reach’ of Russian ‘propaganda’, and the concomitant push for global dictatorship to fight against this, it’s now clearer than ever what the controllers intend to do when it comes to “disinformation” policy.
    Just today the UN signed the ‘Pact for the Future’, which includes the ‘Digital Compact’ of new vast censorship powers against all dissenting voices…
    Russian forces along something like 1000 miles of battlefront keep nibbling away and advancing, and advancing, as raw, Ukrainian conscripts have no will to die under artillery assault and abandon their assigned death-posts. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/israel-putters-into-crisis-zelensky

    He “should” say that… Israel Denies Connection To Mass Pager Attack In Lebanon
    In an interview with Sky News, Israeli President Isaac Herzog denied claims made by Iran and the Hezbollah terrorist group that Israel was behind the widespread attacks carried out via exploding pagers and walkie-talkies that left dozens dead and thousands injured…
    ..Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs said that it had no records of direct exports of Gold Apollo pagers to Lebanon. And a Hungarian government spokesman later added that the pager devices had never been in Hungary, either, noting that BAC had merely acted as an intermediary.
    Speculation around the origin of the devices that exploded Wednesday has also emerged. A sales executive at the U.S. subsidiary of Japanese walkie-talkie maker Icom said last week that the exploded radio devices in Lebanon appear to be a knock-off product and not made by Icom.
    “I can guarantee you they were not our products,” said Ray Novak, a senior sales manager for Icom’s amateur radio division, in an interview Wednesday at a trade show in Providence, Rhode Island. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/israel-denies-connection-mass-pager-attack-lebanon

    This is the case, which I have posted before, in the context of Gaza findings, for a novel and small neutron-bomb type device using deuterium-doped enriched-uranium.
    Is ‘Israel’ using small nuclear weapons in Gaza and South Lebanon?
    Dr. Christopher Busby is part a mixed crew of investigative reporters and commentators from Lebanon and some film-makers investigating “Israel’s” use of enriched uranium in strikes on Gaza on Lebanon, and aim to follow up on the strange illnesses that are appearing on the battlefield…
    ..’Israel’ in Gaza: ‘Red Mercury’. Dr. Christopher Busby
    In 2021, a scientific report in the prestigious journal Nature confirmed what I had been saying since 2006. “Israel” has, since its attacks on Lebanon in 2006 and those on Gaza in 2008 and 2014, used a new nuclear weapon, one which kills with a high temperature radiation flash and with neutrons. This weapon, which leaves an identification footprint, but no fission products like Caesium-137, we now know was also employed by the USA in Fallujah, Iraq in 2003, and previously in Kosovo also.
    The residues, inhalable Uranium aerosol dust, together with the neutron damage to tissues, cause a range of serious and often fatal health effects that puzzle doctors and defy treatment. Without knowing what caused such effects, which often mimic other illnesses or result in fungal infections that kill, doctors are powerless to help and just watch the exposed individuals die. https://english.almayadeen.net/articles/analysis/is–israel–using-small-nuclear-weapons-in-gaza-and-south-le

    Professor Ugo Bardi, The Seneca Cliff of Petroleum Production, An old prediction of mine is coming true. From Exxon’s mouth.
    I described the plight that the latest Exxon Report would describe seven years later. “Either you give us more money, or we’ll fall down the Seneca Cliff!”
    This situation is caused by the basic mechanisms of our economic system: how we exploit resources, trying to obtain the maximum profit from them. When dealing with mineral resources, system dynamics provides good models to describe the economic cycle that ends when the resource is depleted to the point that extraction is no longer profitable…
    ..The curve can keep growing if the industry can invest truly large resources into new resources, no matter how expensive. It is what happened when the US oil industry invested heavily in “shale oil.” It completely reversed the decline in production that had been ongoing in the US since the local Hubbert peak in 1970.
    Exxon’s logic is simple and brutal but correct. If you give us more money, we’ll give you more oil; otherwise, forget it. Yes, but where is this money going to come from? In the basic Hubbert model, it comes wholly from the industry’s profits, but in the real world, money comes from the financial sector, which draws it from all sectors of the economy. The economy is all about allocating resources, and it is a zero-sum game. https://senecaeffect.substack.com/p/the-seneca-cliff-of-petroleum-production

    The Honest Sorcerer has this parallel analysis, with this graph, which could be subject to change if large oilfields were drilled and brought on-line, though that would take a dozen years for the Arctic or Antarctic, and would require the absence of WW-3 to be done cooperatively.

    This alternative approach is a big threat to the cancer-care-business-model. Amazon Excommunicates Dr. Paul Marik Banning of “Cancer Care” is an extremely dark moment in the history of censorship.
    A few days ago I received the word that Amazon had banned Dr. Paul Marik’s book Cancer Care: The Role of Repurposed Drugs and Metabolic Interventions in Treating Cancer. In Amazon’s words:

    Today in the United States, the Democratic Party, and mainstream media, and much of the academic establishment believe in ORTHODOXY, and therefore see no reason why men like Dr. Paul Marik—one of the most published and distinguished critical care doctors in history—should be protected from censorship.
    The ultimate victims of this censorship will be people dying of cancer who might have benefitted from the information presented in Dr. Marik’s book. Like the hospital administrators who deprived Dr. Marik’s intensive care patients of his repurposed drug protocol for treating advanced COVID-19—thereby consigning them to death instead of allowing them to have a fighting chance.

    Musk’s X caves in to Brazil, The social media platform was shut down in the country for three weeks for failing to censor accounts spreading “disinformation”
    Social media platform X says it is moving to comply with demands issued by Brazil’s Supreme Court in the hope of reversing a nationwide ban ordered by the country’s top judge last month.
    For nearly three weeks, X has been inaccessible to Brazilian users. Using a VPN to access the site carries the threat of a fine of almost $9,000. That’s after Justice Alexandre de Moraes banned the platform for failing to censor accounts that “spread disinformation.”
    ..Under Brazilian law foreign companies are required to have a representative who would assume all of the firm’s local legal responsibilities. X had such a representative until mid-August when it decided to close its offices and fire all its staff in the country. That was after Musk claimed that de Moraes threatened to arrest the company’s legal representative if X did not adhere to court orders.
    On Saturday, Brazil’s Supreme Court confirmed X’s moves and gave the company five days to file all the necessary paperwork validating its new legal representative. It also reiterated its orders to block the accounts that had previously been named by a probe into hate speech and misinformation, and to pay fines totalling over $3 million. It’s unclear which accounts have been targeted, as the probe is confidential. https://swentr.site/business/604506-musk-caves-brazil-demands/

    World’s biggest deforestation project gets underway in Papua for sugarcane
    Land clearing has begun is what’s being called the biggest deforestation effort in the world, as Indonesia looks to establish 2 million hectares (5 million acres) of sugarcane plantations in the Papua region.
    One of the companies involved in the project, whose inaugural seed-planting ceremony was attended by the Indonesian president, has already cleared at least 356 hectares (880 acres) of forest since June.
    Satellite imagery analysis shows that 30% of the concessions appear to fall inside a zone that the government previously declared should be protected under a moratorium program.
    Indigenous rights advocates have also flagged concerns over the sidelining of Indigenous Papuans by the project, including the imposition of an industrial agricultural model on peoples who have long been hunter-gatherers. https://news.mongabay.com/2024/09/worlds-biggest-deforestation-project-gets-underway-in-papua-for-sugarcane/

    A few days ago, a new Russian attack drove about 8km into the base of the Kursk salient from the west. (perhaps 1/3 of the salient’s east-west width, maybe a little less) They’ve also pushed from the north, threatening the bit of the Kursk Salient still pointing at Koronevo.

    3 days ago I was STILL seeing reports of Ukrainian attacks from within the Kursk salient. Amazing.

    The Russians seem to be keeping very carefully to their side of the border, when a southeastern thrust (into Ukraine) could perhaps cut the highway TO Sudzha as opposed to threatening a highway that heads northwest out OF Sudzha. Sudzha being the major network of roads and the major urban area in the Kursk salient.

    I’ve seen some estimates of Ukraine losses in Kursk that amount to roughly a WW2 armored division. I still feel like I get a better sense of things when I translate over to WW2 terms. Brigades and BTGS and task groups are well and good I guess.

    I found some “analysis” articles claiming Ukraine is having command/control issues because they have a mishmash of small units and ought to be running things at the divisional level at least. Germany in WW1 often ran things on the western front on the basis of battalions. (squad > platoon > company > battalion > regiment > division (a brigade was 2 regiments if you want to use that instead…) > corps – ) Somehow they were fine with running positional combined arms warfare shuffling battalions all over the place, so idunno. Should be easier now with NATO networked command and intelligence.

    The Russians carefully skirting the border makes me really think about the whole course of the war.

    Look at where they were to start with – they were already BEHIND Kiev… then pulled back quite a ways

    I keep coming back to, as an explanation of “inscrutable” Russian behavior – they’re just fastidiously sitting there defending stuff. Withdrawing occasionally. Defending Oblasts that voted to join Russia. Defending against invasion of Russia proper.

    Arguments over who initially aggressed who and how aside, the message they seem to have been sending all along is that they are sitting there defending while NATO throws itself at them over and over. I imagine that’s the frame they take in diplomatic discussions. Kursk attack really helped them out with their messaging.

    Summary

    The Mad Dogs at the Pentagon – have said that the 40,000 US troops in the region West Asia – are now not enough, to defend the Zionist occupying military force in Palestine, known as Israel. US General Pat Ryder – has said more will be deployed to defend the Zionists – though operational details will not be disclosed.

    The Yanks think they can send troops to any country they want to – here they are set to defend an illegal occupying force that’s committing genocide – which makes the troops, their generals and the Washington suits complicit in genocide as well. The English government recently signed a UK/Israel defence agreement that needs to be renewed every ten years – however it no longer needs to be renewed every ten years – as the UK government has made it a permanent agreement – no doubt, UK troops will be fighting alongside the Zionists who are committing genocide – we shouldn’t be surprised by this – as the UK government is also propping up a Neo-Nazi regime in Ukraine – with Starmer – committing to giving this vile evil regime, among other things, £3 billion quid a year.

    Consider the following two questions. First consider how much freedom you want, and secondly consider who else should also have that much freedom.

    Obviously if you want the freedom to do absolutely anything that you want then that degree of freedom cannot also be extended to include all of the people you intend to do it to. Right? If I have the freedom to rule with unchallengeable authority then I cannot allow those who I rule over to have that same unchallengeable authority over me. Such an arrangement is so impossible that the very idea is utterly absurd.

    So, I ask again, how much freedom do you rightfully want, which must include the balancing factor of how many people does that same degree of freedom get rightfully extended to?

    If you work out the answers to those two questions all the way through to their natural conclusions then what I think you’ll arrive at is some kind of BALANCED arrangement in which the totally unrestricted freedom at one end of the spectrum is countered and held in check by the fact that everyone else gets the same amount too.

    Call it a marriage of necessity between the Law of the Jungle and the Golden Rule.

    Historically it has been a stormy marriage, and divorce has never been an option, so it’s either gonna wind up in another grudged reconciliation or a double homicide. We’ll see.

    The surgeon and a hospital administrator had warned the man of dire consequences had he left the emergency section of the instution without the surgery.

    a major instution reviewing mRNA policy? Whatever is profitable and limits liability.

    Abe says, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on”
    God say, “No.” Abe say, “What?”
    God say, “You can do what you want Abe, but
    The next time you see me comin’ you better run”
    Well Abe says, “Where do you want this killin’ done?”
    God says “In Lebanon” apologies to Mr. Zimmerman

    i wonder if the Andromedan’s care less about human rights than Israel
    or less than i do about college football rankings
