    Smart people first in line for COVID-19 vaccines, study suggests

    Manipulating the insecurities of the slightly less than intelligent who worry about whether they are perceived as smart or whether people can see that they are stupid. Well, it is one way to get the dumb sheep to follow the wolf. It won’t have any impact on the truely smart, but it will encourage the obedient people – the ass kissers and wannabes – to fall in line.

    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s lackluster receptions in Washington and at the UN in his trip to the US last week, and inability to achieve major objectives, shows that his moment has passed and the end is near for Kiev, experts told Sputnik.

    Stopped reading at “experts told Sputnik”. That is like saying, okay we have no sources for this story, we didn’t make it up ourselves, we heard it down the local pub while half pissed last night, the guy there was an expert, he told me so and I desperately needed some content.

    A survey published earlier this month revealed nearly eight in 10 Ukrainians blame Zelensky for the rampant corruption that plagues their country – another reason the president might be apprehensive about running for reelection.

    The rampant corruption was the reason they chose Ukraine in the first place. This survery is completely arse about face, maybe it is an in-joke for Biden to ponder in his dementurehood. I suspect Kolomoisky is minting it, him being in touch with the ((network)) of arms dealers and money launderers, so I guess there will be a few unhappy faces if Z does not run again. But I remember they defanged Kolomoisky recently, so maybe that was the reason, he wanted another 12 months whereas Z and the US ((tribe)) wanted 6 months. Of course, Kolomoisky will be back in the ((fold)) soon enough, they just need to keep him in restraints for the time being.

    I will be interested to read a real biography of the piano playing penis, his story sounds incredible, until you discover his religion, then he is just another ((SBF)). I wonder whether he will become a ((revered foreskin of Israel)), or whatever title they give their heroes.

    The Left, aside from their desire for new dependent constituents, felt borders were anachronistic constructs that unfairly denied the inherent and universal human right of the poor and oppressed to go anywhere they pleased, without legality or permission of their targeted hosts. So they erased the southern border. Some 7-8 million illegal entries followed since January 2021.

    And the result?

    African-Americans in Chicago are demonstrating against mass influxes of illegal aliens into their cities who bury entitlements and social services. The Left used to calls such protests “xenophobia.”

    Leftwing New York Mayor Eric Adams has gone from calling those racists who opposed illegal immigration to becoming a veritable nativist. He is now screaming that illegal aliens are “destroying” his city, damning the Biden administration, and warning of bankruptcy. Adams too is unhappy that leftists like himself finally got what they wanted.

    Is the Left Happy That They Got Their Wish?

    Curious happenstance, has any one who is organically intact noticed that when in presence of crowded general public in confined spaces, or been in close contact with compulsory injected people such as dental hygienists, seem to pick up some sort of upper respiratory symptom , e.g. congestion, nasal drip, etc.? Would whatever variant of covid currently running through the injection ‘protected’ segment of the public be having this effect?
    Good thing vitamin C is water soluble and excess is disposed of quickly. Much less risky also.

    The European Union’s much-touted self-harming intention to diversify from Russian natural gas means it will be forced to rely on America’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) for decades to come, the bloc’s top energy official has admitted.

    And all the conspiracy theorists were shouting this out before the sanctions on Russian energy. Amazing how yet another conspiracy turns into energy scam fact. The number of scams being run at the moment is quite astonishing, it just shows that the rule of law and the enforcement of law are no longer practiced in the western world. Instead, the elites are having a free-for-all, stealing everything they can, even stealing from the countries that have been staunch allies over many, many decades. Just go to show, the USA is run by ((stealing)) people with Israel morality.

    “Smart People first in line…”

    That’s because their definition of “Smart” = Obedient. A very strange definition indeed. So apparently Tedros and the CEO of Pfizer aren’t “Smart”.

    Tucker: that is a tough call. The original sentiment was “Safe, Legal, and RARE”, as in, nearly unthinkable. Aaaaaaand everybody told you it wouldn’t be. Aaaaaaand they all said it would lead to immorality, the destruction of the family overall, and abortion being used as birth control. Aaaaaaand they were all shouted down as old fogies who didn’t know nothing, weren’t hip to the jive, man.

    50 years later: everything they said has happened, exactly as they said it would happen, and they’re still wrong. A strange definition indeed. Okay, new rule: when I’m wrong, I’m actually right! Just like the DNC in New Hampshire. If you get votes in NH, they’re actually MINE! What’s mine is mine, and what’s yours is mine too!

    Their conclusion? Let’s try shopping! Let’s make stealing under $900, “Safe, Legal, and Rare”! Since cops shoot everyone they come into contact with, every single person, day and night, through their whole career, it’s only fair, right? Gotta save the childrens!

    It’s going about as well. So tell me: when will we stop letting the suicidally mentally ill drive the bus?

    Schiff: so they’re going after him, for doing what they’re all doing? His thing isn’t even particularly bad? After 40 years of doing this? Okay, why now? Why this sudden change of heart and why starting with Schiff and not McConnell, who took BILLIONS of insider trading from China?

    And following the other in NJ, also DNC.

    Schiff is accepting campaign donations to encourage jobs in his district? That are actual work? I don’t condone this as illegal, but “be still my heart.” That’s what Congressmen are “Supposed” to do. Why don’t you talk to me about Standard Hotel instead?

    GOP Ukraine. Putin is our enemy for why? For unhinged conspiracy theories debunked by the DNC’s own investigator? Btw Hillary picked that up again yesterday. Not just that, but election tampering is endemic I hear. She’s going to stop hackable digital voting and stop mail-ins Carter said was the weakest link, undermining faith in Democracy. …Just kidding! Russia did all that AND we’re going to use the weakest election methods we can find, with no recounts allowed or arrested.

    Second part, 50% of Putin’s army? Wow, that is a whopper I can’t even come up with a kernel for. Not even projection that he’s destroyed 50% of Ukriane’s army. He’s destroyed much, much more than that. But people who applaud for slavic genocide, what can you say?

    They weren’t kidding that Nazis and White Supremacists were the major danger right now. It’s just that Biden is the one arming, funding, and organizing Nazi and White Supremacists via the FBI, then his pal Moosilini is importing, funding, giving them tongue-baths in Parliament, as major cabinet members, and Freeland-who-is-really-running-the-country is herself a Nazi and a child of Nazis. Like here, with Nuland.

    Well, it sure ain’t Joe running things! You tell me.

    “CIA was paid to mislead”

    Um…on what jurisdiction? The CIA is confined to FOREIGN matters and is strictly prohibited from interfering in DOMESTIC affairs, ESPECIALLY politics. Oh, “that’s the Law and we don’t do that”? Got it. Well, that’s the law and I don’t do it either. Become ungovernable.

    “Obama changed this law to make it legal to LIE to the American people.”

    Yes but he passed it because they never used it. That’s how things work! “Obama” changed the law? Weren’t some other people involved as the President EXECUTES laws passed by CONGRESS? …And he still did nowhere near the damage of Clinton allowing media monopolies. 1st: Monopolies are illegal, huh, under Sherman? No? 2nd, this forcing of diversity was the defense of free press under the corporate structure compromise since 1900 or so.

    Yeah, no: THAT they had to pass it, make it legal, shows you how very, very MUCH they had been using it for years before then, and needed legal cover because it had got too big. In which case you can consider it overwhelming now, as nearly universal or they wouldn’t have bothered.

    “• Zelensky’s Failed Visit to US Shows ‘End is Coming’ for Ukraine (Sp.)

    Promises, promises. Putin doesn’t think so, and I bet he has better intel.

    “Biden did announce a new security package for Kiev, although it did not include the ATACMS long-range missiles”

    Like all politicians and all media, they both DID, and DIDN’T. All things and their opposite are all true at once! As reality dissolves, your mind and personality dissolves and then we can Build Back Better. This is brainwashing 101 for captured Prisoners of War, and a War Crime: Break them down. Have them doubt everything, true, false, don’t care. I need them putty before we can program them to be killers for us.

    Yeah, so anyway, the day after Ze left, media reported “Ooops! Changed me mind! We’re giving it to them!” And then ALSO: maybe one unit, and maybe a year from now. Oh wait, all of them, maybe tomorrow!

    Ah, democracy, where an informed public makes national decisions.

    “Zelensky’s Wife Unsure If He Will Seek Reelection (RT)

    Depends if her million-dollar shopping sprees can continue or not. Like Obama’s back in the day.

    Again, since all candidates and all parties are outlawed, how exactly do they hold an “election”? Oh! Like us! They put up two FAKE parties with two FAKE candidates who are the same and we choose between them. Got it. “Ukrainian martial law prohibits elections,” but that’s the law, so we don’t do that.

    “maintain the appearance of a functioning democracy,”

    That’s how we do it. We HAVE no functional democracy, only the APPEARANCE of a functioning democracy. That’s the only important part, the SIGNALING.

    “Ukraine is fated either to capitulate on Moscow’s terms or cease to exist as a state, speaker of the Russian State Duma said.”

    This was my conclusion after the first 6 months when the West positioned itself here. The world now seems aware the West’s only power is to write things on spreadsheets and call on the god of “The Power of Positive Thinking” where you “Manifest” reality by clicking your heels. –The true Western religion.

    “The costs of Ukraine’s militarization have forced Germany to cut benefit payments to poor families. France has reduced the number of beneficiaries; people in need no longer receive food packages and reimbursements for drug costs.”

    Ukraine gets both though plus free health care. Even if the U.S. government shuts down. Ukraine is our capital, and the only nation that matters worldwide. Notice that as Kiev becomes our world capital, Israel becomes second-rate.

    “They are consciously fueling the disintegration of their societies”

    Yes, it is Brainwashing, Human Control Science 101. One problem, guys? Um, the “Integration” of the crew on board rowing is what keeps YOUR slave galley afloat. “Disintegrate” them and you sink in a shipwreck YOU CAUSED. Might want to pencil that into your equation, geniuses.

    “prevent the inexorably approaching catastrophe of the Third World War within the next decade or so by forcing the West, primarily the United States, to step back and adapt to the new reality.”

    This is exactly the same war at home. The “America First” vs the NeoCon Globalists. He treats the U.S. as one thing, and maybe he should. But it isn’t. Nor are any of the other countries, including Iran.

    “Western elites should once again realize that nuclear Armageddon poses a real threat to the world, according to the scientist.”

    Oh a SCIENTIST? Oh in that case, everything he says is stupid. As in this case. Hey genius: They WANT a nuclear Armageddon world war. It’s IMPOSSIBLE not to notice. But leave it to Science to refute all data.

    “the Covid-19 episode from the beginning was a fantastic fiasco of blundering incompetence “

    He missed the core reason this can’t be true: So not ONE Scientist or Doctor disagreed? Not one? And when they got their own data they what? Turned the pages upside-down so that “No” become “Yes” and “Death” became “Life”? Uh no. It is inconceivable that this was at all incompetence anywhere. Like Fauci, it was PAID. For PROFIT. As an expression of their core RELIGION. AFTER killing 500,000 gay guys and getting promoted.

    He then turns to Joe Biden when Trump was in charge.

    “The stomach-churning scene of the Canadian parliament giving a standing ovation three days ago to a former Waffen SS Nazi has by now made the rounds on the internet.”

    So…is this real? Is it them trying to normalize? Or is it White Hats pulling the strings to wake you up? If so, it failed. Canada isn’t bothered in the least, at least not in any way that would cause the slightest change or action. Example: shouldn’t a sane society call for his resignation, snap election, even if that’s stupid and implausible, the opposing part should make political points on it?

    Nope. All clear here. No rallying the Ministers, the government, nor the public.

    BTW RUSSIA made Trudeau zeig heil to Nazis. Because…um…Russia was Nazi, and not the 2/3rds defeater of Nazis? No. Because RUSSIA rounded up the whole SS and flew them to Canada? Complete with paid pensions? No. Um, because Putler rigged Canadian elections and installed Trudeau to power? Um, No. Work with me here, I’ll come up with something. Like yesterdays’ war crimes Russia THOUGHT something bad, I just know it. That means it happened and it’s their fault.

    How Canada Became a Safe Haven for Ukrainian WWII-era Nazis (Sp.)

    And back with the Jews, KILLING people = good. BEING killed = bad. We only support the people who kill and not their victims. That’s just common sense. And for Celtic, They always kill THEMSELVES by the millions! Like any intelligent army does. The more they kill themselves, the more they winninger.

    “We Defeated the Nazis!”

    Now we need the same infograph for the entire USSR bureaucracy becoming the EU bureaucracy. No joke.

    “Hillary Clinton Claims Russia Seeks to Meddle in 2024 Election (Tweedie)

    That is epic. Unhinged conspiracy theories. And this is how it should be reported in general by the papers. Straightforward like this. Let her talk. We just interject with the official, legal findings and you can decide.

    ““I don’t think, despite all of the deniers, there is any doubt that he interfered in our election,”

    Deniers like her own Mueller investigation. Remember kids: Mueller is a Putin puppet too. They’re everywhere! Putin! Under me bed!

    “the FBI was guilty of misconduct and was in need of reform” … but no specific PERSON did any wrong. Huh. So wrong was done, the whole AGENCY was completely wrong, but no PERSON did a single wrong action. How does that work again? I was planning a bank robbery and would like to use the same angle.

    Again, so is Clinton actually doing this, or are the White Hats doing it to break through your thick head?

    Speaking of, who the heck was on saying he was John Kerry the other day? I have a terrible memory for faces, but that was totally wrong. There are probably paid John Kerry impersonators who look closer. If you’re going to do this, don’t you at least want to call Sf/x? They invented masks, you know.

    “it will be forced to rely on America’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) for decades to come, the bloc’s top energy official has admitted.”

    No. It won’t. There is no gas (our frak fields are out) and no infrastructure in ports and terminals. On either end. You had the chance 10 years ago to build them, but you didn’t, counting on invading and dismembering Russia instead. If you want only 3% of your gas supplied, fine we can overcharge you for it, but 97% of you will sit in the dark.

    And again, Europe is presently making INDIA fabulously wealthy, while India flips to Russia and the BRICS. Brilliant!

    On the larger front: Europe has no gas or oil, nor can get any. Therefore nobody else can have any either. That’s what DAVOS, WEF, and Climate Change is about. You see, in their position, oil is liquid hegemonic power. And in order to stay in power, the only possible chance is to force the rest of the world to be as impoverished as Europe. Even their armies. It is not going well. 5 companies per week bail out without a parachute if necessary, with the world’s largest Iron Ore producer telling carbon credits to suck it this week. When you can’t get BlackRock on your ESG list…you’ve lost. Who knew the “Less for More” plan, the “Work AND Starve” plan wouldn’t be popular? So mysterious.

    “the diamond trade based in Antwerp, Belgium.”

    Well, so much for that! Like everything else, the Euro diamond trade will now cease to exist and be replaced by…well, anyone. Singapore, Dubai, Macao, anyone. #Winning! Remember kids: in #OppositeLand, #Losing is actually #Winning. It’s how I got promoted to this position anyway, and that’s good enough for me!

    “The India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC)”

    There is a major and vital North-South railway in this corridor. You’ll never believe! It happens to go right through Armenia! And then a day later Armenia has a war! What a surprise!

    Well, I am a coincidence theorist, and that is not suspicious at all. Just like the Khazak color revolution a day before Ukraine! Nope, nope, nope!

    P.S. that’s why the bulls—t in Pakistan too. But we install and pay everybody there since 1947, so no surprise.

    “How did Brzezinski and Fukuyama ever become so influential?”

    Like the Speadsheet jockies, feverishly writing now a new way we’re going to win in Ukraine with the “Power of Positive Thinking” (aka, “Magic”), they simply say whatever the jack-ss above them wants to hear. That’s it. Certain and inevitable promotion follows. Look at Blinken, clearly one of the least-capable people in the last 40 years.

    I don’t know if the NeoCons don’t know what really happened or really don’t care in pursuit of their weirdo religion. Reagan set up a FINANCIAL collapse of the USSR which worked perfectly. That’s what his Star Wars and other rot and nonsense was about. Like us in Vietnam, the point was to over-spend them. We then shut off their gold and oil sales and pulled the trigger on a long-term ruble attack, which currency was very well protected. That’s also a bunch of the movies we put out then, the CIA much involved in Rocky, Red Dawn, G.I Joe, all that rot. Rock n Roll and Blue Jeans.

    The USSR isn’t stupid, the KGB knew what we were doing. They just decided at some point to let us and reconstitute the country under a new basis, which they did. Unfortunately they lost control of it for a little while as Hermitage and Magintsky hit them harder and faster than they expected, moving NATO as example of the 10,000 agreements they were breaking.

    So their review of history is like tracking what flavor gatoraide they drank in the Super Bowl. Not relevant. You have to know what ACTUALLY happened to understand what’s happening now. That’s why the truth is the only enemy, surrounded by a bodyguard of lies from here to the horizon. If it’s true, you won’t find it in the history books.

    Example: if we weren’t paying Soviet Generals, they would have whipped F-Stan they way they whipped far harder Chechnya later.

    “Menendez broke with industry custom by allegedly accepting direct items like gold and a car. This is classic bribery stuff. There was no labyrinth of shell companies and accounts — just crude old-school corruption, with cash stuffed in clothing and gold bars”

    “Biden Condemns Menendez For Taking Bribes In Gold Rather Than Fungible Assets Laundered By 20 Different Shell Companies “ –BBee

    Again, just reporting straight news. A more trustworthy outlet than CNN.

    “Scientists ‘Shocked’ and ‘Alarmed’ at What’s in the mRNA Shots (Barnett)

    It is suggested that not only is there DNA, but DNA-editing. All on purpose, as we see with his simple tests, it’s impossible for Quality Control to miss it. There’s no way they couldn’t know. Also, so I’m making Gatoraide and there’s DNA in it? Um…how? “Oh that Pesky DNA injector nozzle keeps turning on! Aw shucks and by golly! Now who loaded that tanker truck of DNA into the nozzle vat?” Etc.

    Dr. Buckhaultz Looks like this:

    Scoundrels

    Haakon Jarl: Well we know all Norwegians are black. That’s obvious.

    I’ve heard this said another way by the Woke: “This show isn’t for you.” Okay then, sold! It’s not for me, you win. …And the viewing numbers are catastrophic, fail everywhere, as Bros and Black LOTR go down so hard you almost can’t see the dial.

    Yes, you’re making movies that aren’t for any of us. They’re hardly for the 3%. And then wonder why the viewership is down 97% from normal…

    • Canada Saluting A Ukrainian Nazi Was No Coincidence (Eva Bartlett)
    https://www.azerbaycan24.com/en/canada-saluting-a-ukrainian-nazi-was-no-coincidence/

    Canada has also supported modern-day Nazis in Ukraine itself, by training members of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion on Canadian soil, although Canadian corporate media has in recent years attempted to downplay this.
    The Ottawa Citizen, writing about this report, cited a 2017 briefing by Canada’s Joint Task Force Ukraine as saying, “Multiple members of Azov have described themselves as Nazis.” In November 2021, the same Ottawa Citizen journalist wrote about Canadian officials meeting with leaders from the Azov Battalion in June 2018. Canadian officers and diplomats, “did not object to the meeting and instead allowed themselves to be photographed with battalion officials despite previous warnings that the unit saw itself as pro-Nazi.”

    suppressing the truth about ….
    Neo-Nazism comprises the post–World War II militant, social, and political movements that seek to revive and reinstate Nazi ideology. Neo-Nazis employ their ideology to promote hatred and racial supremacy (often white supremacy), to attack racial and ethnic minorities (often antisemitism and Islamophobia), and in some cases to create a fascist state.[1][2]

    “White supremacist” is a new way of saying “racist”
    White supremacy is an ideology, a pattern of values and belief.

    Leftists In Canadian Parliament Seek to Erase Embarrassing Nazi Incident From The Record
    There was no Russia propaganda involved in the Hunka blunder, that was all Canada’s doing.

    Canada is fast becoming the kind of society that Orwell warned about, along with many other nations under the explicit influence of the political left and globalist institutions.
    One of the most prominent examples of this is the handling of the ongoing war in Ukraine, which has been so obscured in propaganda among government and legacy media sources it is nearly impossible to sort out truth from fiction.

    Now, instead of admitting to the underlying problem of Nazi influences in Ukraine and honoring an open discussion about the purpose of the proxy war, leftists within Canada’s Parliament are instead seeking to erase all official records of the incident including video records and the original text of Speaker Rota’s comments.

    I get why mainstream media would talk about “biden” having a “meeting” with “elensky,” but it is baffling why any other party would talk about it like that. We can clearly see biden isn’t in charge of anything. The entire Ukrainian government is there as a result of a US coup.

    Like, is sockpuppets pretending to talk to each other NEWS when a masked guy puts a sock puppet on each hand and has them “talk”?

    I hope your duckies are nicely in a row because the curtain has risen on TEOTWAWKI, Act III, and shit is hitting the fan all around the world as the rubber finally meets the road. The battle lines were drawn over 8 years ago when Donald Trump’s surprise victory rather minimally disrupted the flow of blood money within the Cabal (that we sarcastically refer to as Earth’s so-called “Civilization”). It might seem a small thing, but even that tiny hiccup was enough to send dominoes to falling in far flung places, because the entire putrid edifice survives day-to-day, each and every day, only by inventing enough false money NOW to pay for the bribes, blackmail, extortion, censorship, coercion and MURDERS that their tomorrow’s survival depends on. The grift pays for the graft, and without it the vitally necessary crimes simply cannot be committed or maintained in sufficient quantity to keep it all going….. and therefore it begins to fail, and then fail faster as the free money starts going away.

    Call that small miracle a glitch in the matrix or an act of God, as you choose, but in either case there is no denying that it triggered a chain reaction of chain reactions in every other field of human endeavor, spanning (in aggregate) the entire realm range and scope of human activity. Information, History, Science, Spirituality, Medicine, Education, Psychology, Governance, and a globe spanning host of other crucially essential collaborations, which together comprise literally everything that we do.

    And so it goes, and has gone, and will now of course continue to go.

    The current American regime . . . . . . tasked by law with the responsibility for administrating the most important election in the WORLD’S history in just a few weeks (November 7, is 6 weeks from today) . . . . . . and CAN NOT allow that event to be a free, clean and fair vote. And yet the eyes of the world are so intently and closely upon them that not a molecule could be misplaced in that election without the fact being documented by, literally, ARMIES of their opponents.

    Russia is weeks (at the most, months) from unconditionally vanquishing NATO on the battlefields of Ukraine, leaving all of Europe at its mercy. And by use of the term “all of Europe” I of course include all of Imperial Europe’s erstwhile colonial possessions (various African nations spring to mind). Internationally legally recognized ownership and true sovereignty of these heretofore captive peoples will change virtually overnight.

    The publicly acknowledged fact of the Covid-19/Vax attempted genocide is finally breaking free of the ubiquitous censorship (an enormous crime on its own account), and that deadly genii will simply NOT go back into the bottle. The truth of the democide is coming out and nothing is going to stop it. Too many people have died (or are dying as we speak) and so too many people care. MANY imprisonments and executions of perpetrators are going to happen.

    The VAST (vastest in the world’s history) criminal hegemony of the US Dollar is coming to its ignominious and calamitous end. (and may all of its progenitors rot in Hell). Without that free counterfeit money the Cabal simply CAN NOT continue to bankroll its suicidally criminal operations.

    Humankind’s brief and tragic flirtation with the demonic insanity (and utter illogic) of materialistic atheism, is also over. It’s end was always predictable, always inescapable, and always foreordained, because it violates the most fundamental truth of the Universe, but the actual END of that STUNNING stupidity, as a day to day reality, is going to feel and BE a lot different than the mere knowledge that it was coming soon.

    Allow me to butcher a pretty good Winston Churchill quotation that he spoke after the turning point of WW2, and comment that this time we are not witnessing the end of the beginning of a great conflict, we are living the beginning of the end of a Great Tyranny against the human species.

    There is still a lot of fighting and dying to do, but the end is unequivocally certain victory for the good guys and utter defeat of the bad.

    Viva mankind. Long may we serve.

    Canada Saluting a Ukrainian Nazi was No Coincidence

    “The stomach-churning scene of the Canadian parliament giving a standing ovation three days ago to a former Waffen SS Nazi has by now made the rounds on the internet.

    During Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s visit to Canada, and following his predictably bombastic pan-handling speech, House Speaker Anthony Rota went on to gush praise over a Ukrainian-Canadian in parliament that day: Yaroslav Hunka, a World War II-era Nazi, calling him “a Ukrainian hero, a Canadian hero” and thanking him for his service.

    Two days later, Rota issued an apology for lauding the man, saying he had “recognized an individual in the gallery” and had subsequently become aware of “more information which causes me to regret my decision to do so.”

    Oh Canazida!

    Seattle-
    Most grocery stores now employ fully armed “security guards” who check for your receipt when exiting with your overpriced groceries.

    Target says it’s closing 9 stores in New York, Seattle, the San Francisco area and Portland due to theft and organized retail crime

    -2 ‘Target’ stores in Seattle, 3 in Portland, 3 in SF, 1 in Harlem to close due to excessive theft from homeless.

    Where overpaying customers are treated like criminals forced to stand in line and be inspected for “your papers”.

    Republicans did not destroy Seattle, Trump did not destroy Seattle, nor Russia or Putin. Liberal Democrat policies have destroyed the entire West Coast- and they are coming for you.

    Extremism in America ? You bet.
    Democrats, Liberalism, Gay community and Woke Covid Cultists are the extremists who have destroyed this City, the Nation and many parts of the World. This is not conjecture or opinion, but rather observable factual in your face reality. Their beliefs, policies, power structure and actions are extreme and destructive.

    I’ve been telling gay friends they had better distance themselves from the ‘trans’ perversion.

    They will be stuffed back into the ‘closet’ in a New York minute when the tide finally goes out on the whole woke gender insanity. It’s coming, like winter. The gay community’s reputation will be sucked down the sewer with this degeneracy.

    Yep- unfortunately they are immune to logic, reason, decency, or changing course. They are brainwashed to the max and they are not coming back into a productive, caring, healthy balanced society. They are the extremists- it’s pretty f’n obvious they are dangerous pathological destructive hypocritical liars- immune to truth and reality.

    What a disgusting “conversation” between Hillary and Psaki- both subhuman filth scum. History tells us a purge is coming, sooner the better. The destructive suffering that Liberals promote and encourage will be their own demise. They can go get Woke in Hell.

    War Is Bad https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/war-is-bad

    Spartacus spills the beans on war, and explains why it is a very bad idea to support or obtain income from war in any way. (I grew up on bases during Vietnam. I never joined.)
    ​ War has always been a convenient human-shredder for the Overclass. It has always been that way. If, in ancient Rome, they did not conscript the excess unmarried men, they’d need some way to furnish them with enough wealth and creature comforts to keep them from revolting against the state and politically destabilizing it. War was simply the most expedient means of disposing of this excess while having them retrieve more wealth for the Overclass to enjoy. It’s a scam. It has always been a scam.
    ​ Why are people so surprised that states would murder their own citizens with a virus scare followed by a poisoned vaccine? I’m not surprised at all. States have been using messier, more overt methods to murder people for centuries. A poisoned vaccine is a clean method. It leaves the infrastructure intact, only disposing of excess human livestock. You didn’t care when they blew up Baghdad on live television. Like everyone else, your eyes glazed over, the rational part of your brain shut off, and you enjoyed the pretty fireworks. Why would you care when your nine-year-old son collapses from cardiac arrest right in front of you? It’s the same thing, with the same motives behind it; getting rid of people that the economy has no further use for.

    ​ Guess what has happened to this department over the decades? It saves up money from renting Hawaiian homelands to corporations, but has its own plans for spending it.
    ​ The Department of Hawaiian Home Lands is governed by the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1920, enacted by the U.S. Congress to protect and improve the lives of native Hawaiians. The act created a Hawaiian Homes Commission to administer certain public lands, called Hawaiian home lands, for homesteads. Native Hawaiians are defined as individuals having at least 50 percent Hawaiian blood.
    ​ The Act was incorporated as a provision in the State Constitution in 1959 when Hawai‘i was granted statehood. Responsibility for the Commission and the Hawaiian home lands was transferred to the State at that time.​..
    ​..In addition to administering the homesteading program, DHHL leases trust lands not in homestead use at market value and issues revocable permits, licenses, and rights-of-entry. The income from these enterprises is used to supplement DHHL’s programs, including continued homestead development.

    ​ I’ll argue that WW-3 is already underway, but it does not look like the end of WW-2, with the nuclear annihilation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki 78 years ago.
    ​I very much agree with Spartacus and Sergey Lavrov above. War is a management technique for power elites to manage populations and resources, and in restive times, to get young men to expend their lives against each other for the causes of the owners, rather than to unseat the owners in their common-interest.
    ​ Another path might be possible on a societal level this time around, but that could also be a head-fake. At this point the choice should be relatively easy for healthy humans to resist war as much as possible, without becoming too much of a target oneself.
    In this war the owners want to keep all of the nice stuff, and a functional industrial society, but get rid of what they see as a vast excess of humanity, which is using up their nice stuff, and not directly contributing to their plans for their world.
    Is World War III About to Start? Part I: Drift Toward War

    Is World War III About to Start? Part I: Drift Toward War

    ​ Matt Taibbi , Justin Trudeau’s Nazi Hot Take Flexibility
    ​ Warning of “Russian disinformation” after a clear political own goal, Canada’s Prime Minister solidifies his status as the world’s most nauseating pseudo-intellectual
    A year and a half ago, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau denounced a Jewish member of parliament named Melissa Lantsman for standing with “people who wave swastikas.” Lantsman had criticized Trudeau for fanning “the flames of an unjustified national emergency” in response to the “Freedom Convoy” trucker protests. The “swastikas” Trudeau referenced were, as even Snopes conceded, virtually all “pictured on signs as a way of mocking and protesting government restrictions.” …
    ..By saying Lantsman stood with “people who wave swastikas,” in other words, Trudeau really meant she was standing with “people who called me a Nazi.” He declined to apologize, which of course is his prerogative.
    ​ This week, both Trudeau and House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota are under fire after Rota invited, and Trudeau applauded, a 98-year-old former soldier from the 14th Waffen-SS Grenadier Division named Yaroslav Hunka to attend an address by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. Rota praised Hunka as a “Canadian hero” from his time fighting the Soviets in World War II when, not that it matters, they were allies to the United States and Canada…
    ​..Amid the subsequent outcry, Trudeau squeaked out a handful of sentences that collectively gave off least a faint aroma of apology, though he personally didn’t apologize for anything, and invoked “mistakes were made” phrasing:
    ​ “It’s extremely upsetting that this happened. The Speaker has acknowledged his mistake and has apologized… This is something that is deeply embarrassing to the Parliament of Canada and by extension to all Canadians…​ I think particularly of Jewish MPs and all members of the Jewish community, celebrating, um, commemorating Yom Kippur today.​”​
    ​ If he’d stopped there, it would have been a merely gross performance. He didn’t, jumping straight from “Yom Kippur today” to:
    ​ “I think it’s going to be really important that all of us push back against Russian propaganda, Russian disinformation, and continue our steadfast and unequivocal support for Ukraine, as we did last week with announcing further measures to stand with Ukraine in Russia’s illegal war against it.​” …
    ​..As the CBC put it:
    ​”Trudeau warned that this event may fuel Russian propaganda. Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed the Ukraine conflict is about rooting out Nazis.​”
    ​ Dude, Vladimir Putin didn’t invite a Nazi to parliament, your government did.

    ​ The (modified)mRNA gene therapy “vaccines interfere with the immune system in multiple ways, often causing autoimmune disease and failure to regulate cancerous cells.
    ​ Cancer begins when genetic changes interfere with the normal replication and replacement of cells in the body. Cells start to grow uncontrollably and may form a tumour. It is the No. 2 leading cause of death in the United States.
    ​ Unfortunately, it appears the disease may be on the rise thanks to the experimental Covid-19 injections. Because official U.S. Government data confirms the risk of developing cancer following Covid-19 vaccination increases by a shocking 143,233%.
    ​ A quick search of the CDC VAERS database on the number of cancer cases reported as adverse reactions to the Covid-19 injections since they were first rolled out in the USA, reveals that from December 2020 up to 5th August 2022, a total of 2,579 adverse events related to cancer were made in just 1 year and 8 months.
    But performing a similar search of the VAERS database on the number of cancer cases reported as adverse events to all other available vaccines between 2008 and 2020, a period of 13 years, reveals there were just 791 adverse events related to cancer…
    ..In all between the 08/09 flu season and the 19/20 flu season, there were a total of 1,720,400,000 (1.7204 billion) doses of the flu jab administered in the USA.
    ​ The CDC also confirms that between 2008 and 2020, a period of 13 years, there were just 64 events related to cancer reported as adverse reactions to the influenza vaccines.
    ​ Based on the number of adverse events related to cancer alone, we can see that there have been 40.3x as many cancer cases related to Covid-19 vaccination than there have been related to flu vaccination…
    ..According to ‘Our World in Data’, as of 9th August 2022, 606 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccines have been administered in the USA. This means there have been actually nearly 3x as many flu vaccines administered between 2008-2020 than Covid-19 injections since the end of 2020, let alone all of the other vaccines that have been administered.
    ​ Therefore, the number of adverse events related to cancer reported per 100,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccine administered equates to 0.43 per 100,000 doses.
    ​ This means Covid-19 vaccination is 1433.33x / 143,233.33% more likely to cause cancer than flu vaccination. It can be argued that because the numbers are so extraordinarily low for the flu vaccine, that flu vaccination does not cause cancer. Therefore, it can be argued that the risk of developing cancer following Covid-19 vaccination is 1433x greater than the background risk.

    German SS were the Political Military branch of the Nazi Party. If you were in the SS- you were a Nazi.
    Much of the Wehrmacht (German “regular army”) were NOT part of the Nazi party, many of whom were from the old Prussian military professional soldiers.

    For those interested in reality and History- The Battle of Arnhem ended today, September 26th 1944.

    British, Canadian Polish and American Paratroopers were in active combat today, 79 years ago, against German SS troops in and around Arnhem.

    Today the American, British, Canadian and Polish Governments actively support Ukrainian Nazis in War against Russia-

    Russia suffered the highest casualties fighting Nazis in WW2. Poland was nearly destroyed by Germany and Ukraine War crimes.

    Theirs is the Glory 1946

    Theirs Is the Glory (also known as Men of Arnhem), is a 1946 British war film about the British 1st Airborne Division’s involvement in the Battle of Arnhem (17 to 25 September 1944) during Operation Market Garden in the Second World War. It was the first film to be made about this battle, and the biggest grossing UK war film for nearly a decade.[1] The later film A Bridge Too Far depicts the operation as a whole and includes the British, Polish and American Airborne forces, while Theirs Is the Glory focuses solely on the British forces, and their fight at Oosterbeek and Arnhem.

    Weaving original footage from the battle with re-enactments shot on location at Oosterbeek and Arnhem, the film was shot a year after the battle had ravaged the Dutch streets. As well as veterans, the film also features local people like Father Dyker (a Dutch civilian priest who conducts the service in the film) and Kate ter Horst (who reads a psalm to the wounded men in the cellar) re-enacting their roles and what they did for the airborne troops during the battle.

    FJB- and all the Govts who currently support Nazis (the New Liberal).
