Thiel is worried about the coming of the Antichrist but as his interviewer points out he is building his kingdom. What else is Palantir doing? Creating the infrastructure for global surveillance.
China is planning to build the world’s largest hydroelectric dam on the Yarlung Tsangpo (Brahmaputra) River in Tibet, near the Indian border. The dam, known as the Medog Hydropower Station, is projected to generate three times the power of the Three Gorges Dam. The dam will have the yearly output of Germany.
As predicted

And The Head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff!
“ But I love the matter, and I love the Monastiraki Social Kitchen that’s pushing it- that I and my TAE readers have been supporting for over 9 years(!) now. Thank you so much all of you! The kitchen is strong, and all your donations are effectively feeding people. What an unbelievable and unique success it is. An operation like that, based fully on volunteers and private donations for all that time, must be special.”
Are you sure this is the Kitchen that TAE readers supported for 9 years?
Cook: “ Hezbollah has confirmed that its longtime leader, Hassan Nasrallah, was among the hundreds of Lebanese killed in Israel’s massive bombardment of a suburb of Beirut last night.
Its decision to assassinate Nasrallah, using some of the enormous bunker-busting bombs the United States has been arming it with, is beyond foolhardy. It is outright deranged. Israel has removed – and knows it has removed – a moderating influence on Hezbollah.”
The gates of hell are wide open now
The West keeps ignoring Russia’s red lines because Russia keeps on redraw them.
“Russia does not need to start threatening to use nuclear weapons. Firstly, the Russian Federation drew so many red lines that it later crossed itself that no one here in the West believes that the Russian leadership will have the courage to press the button.
I live in America, served here in the Army, and I had to work in special services, and I saw the reaction to all this:
If you allow your people to burn with impunity in Odessa, (can you imagine that somewhere in Mexico a gang of degenerates would drive 50 Americans into the building, throw Molotov cocktails, burn them alive, and then would finish off those who tried to escape on the sidewalks? Yes, we would invade the 2nd day and would bomb Mexico City to hell!). But you swallowed it.
We scratched the backs of our heads [in confusion].
Then the Turks shot down your plane in Syria. You swallowed it again. We again scratched the back of our head, but some politicians cautiously said that the Turks were great.
Then you watch a 8 years of murder of your fellow citizens, and did not deliver a single retribution strike even on Kiev. Not to mention hitting Brussels or Los Angeles there.
But against you in 2014, an Act of War was implemented. Unconventional warfare. A State Coup in the cradle of Russian civilization – is an Act of War.
After 8 years, you started a war yourself and again gave up by signing Istanbul.
Having captured the bridgehead near Kiev, you then should have stepped up your efforts, stormed the capital, liquidated Zelensky and the General Staff of the Armed Forces, as [the Americans] did in Iraq. We did not allow Hussein to walk around Baghdad, Tikrit, or Basra and invite politicians from the League of Arab States over.
The first blow to the Hussein Palace was delivered 2 minutes after the expiration of the Bush ultimatum. It was not possible to kill him immediately, so he was driven into the basement, from where 6 months later [American] special forces took him out.
An empire must be able to destroy its enemies, otherwise it is not an empire.
Your cowardly president is whining about how they kill statesmen (Hussein, Gaddafi, Suleimani). (…)
You started the war as degenerates, suffered the first serious losses and retreated from Kiev.
Can you imagine if [Americans] entered Iraq and started an assault on Baghdad, suddenly stopped, showed a “great of goodwill” and sent a delegation to Amman to negotiate with Saddam Hussein?
Throughout the conflict, you have demonstrated cowardice, indecision and weak leadership, zeroing out the results of your infantry, which bravely fights in close contact fights, which we would not have dreamed of in Iraq or Afghanistan.
After that, your assets were frozen, the flagship cruiser “Moscow” was sunk, the Crimean bridge was blown up and the North Streams were blown up, thereby annulling the multibillion investments of your taxpayers in these projects.
Instead of drowning the NATO destroyer, blowing up the London or Brooklyn Bridge, nationalizing or seizing our assets by force, or conducting sabotage in NATO countries, you continue to cowardly simply express “concerns” at the UN and to beg for negotiations.
During this time, [the Americans] sent thousands of MANPADS and ATGM to Ukraine, with which we burned your tankers and shot down dozens of your helicopters.
Personally, I think that if you had shot down several of our helicopters in the Middle East in revenge, the supply of weapons would have stopped immediately, since no one here wants to fight with Russia, and the political party that would have unleashed such a war would be buried forever. But you probably like to watch your soldiers burn in tanks. We do not understand this.
As a result, all professionals here got the clear impression that Russians could be killed with impunity. This is already called a”pattern of behavior” – that there will be no reprisal in kind. Therefore, no one here is afraid of your threats about nuclear weapons.
If you don’t have the character to take a trophy MANPADS, bring down a NATO plane or helicopter in Africa and kill 20 people, then who can believe that you have the character to use nuclear weapons and kill hundreds of thousands, if not millions? ”
The Russian army is able to win the war in a month, but the Russian army will not be allowed to win.
1. There is a fairly simple and absolutely true way to win the war. I met a description of the way of victory among dozens of experts and the arguments of their reinforced concrete. They object to them, and even then with absolutely vivoral arguments, only publicists who lubricate their superiors.
The method of victory is the demolition of all bridges on the Dnieper.
A millionth enemy group on the left bank thus loses all logistics. Literally in a few weeks, it remains without BC, fuel and lubricants – without everything. And Ukrainian neo-Nazis will be forced to cling to the right bank. And the left bank will be all ours. And this is actually a victory.
We could stay to take Nikolaev, Odessa, and Ukraine then is nothing. A stub left without access to the sea is not viable.
There are less than twenty bridge crossings on the Dnieper. Less than ten of them are railway, the most harmful to our army. Russia has for these bridges the means of delivery of the necessary tons of explosives. There needs to be desire and political will.
Do you remember the long-standing film “Following the Tiger”? During the Second World War, small units of partisans destroyed bridges in dozens. And now, more than an order of magnitude has come up with ways to destroy bridge crossings.
Sorry, but the tightly guarded Crimean bridge was blown up. Do you really think that in Russia there are no such specialists? And the Dnieper bridges are not so protected. It’s about political will. It is necessary that “Stalin gave the order!” And then in a month – Victory!
The philosophers of Ancient Greece also deduced the rule: it is impossible to solve private problems without solving a common problem.
Russia actually belongs to the oligarchs, and power only serves their interests. Therefore, the Russian army is bound by oligarchs and officials on the hands and feet. The influence of the oligarchs on the generals and explains the strangeness of the ongoing war. After all, oligarchs have in their hands a controlling stake in Russian ownership. It was the oligarchs with the help of officials who drew red lines on the map of Ukraine, for which the military was ordered not to enter. We are fighting only here, but here we are not fighting.
The Russian army is forced to wage a muddy oligarchic war, which was given a fair image of the struggle for the liberation of Donbass and part of New Russia. Do not touch the oil pipelines, do not even approach the gas pipelines, do not approach the bridges, hit the critical infrastructure, but not critically! And how much do you fight like that?
For Russian oligarchs, victory is unacceptable. A significant part of large Russian officials is not needed either. Some of the governors, generals and major Russian officials are shareholders of the monopolies, so they are also not interested in winning. This is the end of the transit of oil and gas, the end of profits from trade.
There will be no victory. And victory is not included in the goals of the war. The authorities openly dream of Minsk-3. Yes, the people of Russia do not need any peace treaty, and for the border territories from Belgorod to Crimea Minsk-3 there is only disaster, but you can’t do much against the oligarchs in Russia.
The oligarchs need a preserved Ukraine. Minsk-3 they need, which will be a defeat of Russia, but which, with the help of patriots on television, can be passed out as a draw, as a obscene but saving peace treaty.
The twists and turns of the war that we observe are the work of the authorities to protect the interests of the Russian oligarchate.
So there will be no blows to the bridges. The oligarchs will not allow it.”
The war on free speech goes on
Pavel Durov, CEO and founder of the Telegram messaging app reportedly arrested at Bourget airport outside Paris on Saturday evening 8pm local time.
Thanks for the link @Noirette

This site is becoming increasingly:
1. Very USA centric and
2. So last day’s news.For example no mention today of the kitch-woke fest that was yesterday’s Opening Ceremony in Paris. But we have piece after piece about the assassination attempt that happened last century and if it was a bullet or a piece of glass when we all know what it was.
Meanwhile Europe is burning while is transforming into an authoritarian nightmare but this is treated as an afterthought that takes place in the margins of the Trump campaign or the machinations of the chaotic Democratic Party.
UPDATE: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has shut down speculation that he is set to be interviewed by conservative pundit Tucker Carlson.
“Mr. Tucker Carlson should check his FSB sources more carefully. The President of Ukraine has a completely different schedule, and Tucker Carlson is not on it,” presidential spokesperson Sergii Nykyforov said in a statement on Thursday, referring to Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB).

NO. Dr D is not covering for the zionists. He is not excusing the genocide going on in Gaza. He has repeatedly condemned the genocide.
So grow up and cut the crap.
And btw, yes, I am a member of the TAE commentariat what ever that means. I don’t comment every day, but I visit the site every day and read the comments.
The mask-off moment came after President Emmanual Macron’s party, En Marche, suffered a wipeout in the European elections. Marine Le Pen’s right-wing Rassemblement National picked up enormous amounts of votes, signaling that a populist revolt was underway in France. The Parisian liberal elite panicked, realizing that they were losing control. President Macron called a snap election that it became increasingly clear that he would lose. Then the headlines started. Within days of the election the Financial Times ran the headline “Why France’s Far Right is Spooking Markets.” Le Pen’s economic plans “could turn into a ‘Liz Truss-style’ liability on the campaign trail” readers were told. French bond markets sold off as the headlines proliferated. The European Central Bank showed its hand soon after: Chief Economist Philip Lane stated that he saw no need for a French bond rescue. The European Commission announced that it was going to investigate whether the French government had an “excessive deficit” and is in breach of Eurozone rules. Macron’s finance minister stated that France “could experience the same dire consequences that followed a spending plan presented two years ago by then-UK Prime Minister Liz Truss.

The EU’s economic war on Le Pen – The market’s attack dogs are targeting National Rally
What is playing out today in France, then, is nothing new. And yet, there is something unprecedentedly brazen about the ECB’s latest attempt at electoral manipulation. What we are witnessing is effectively an unholy alliance between an increasingly discredited national elite and the supranational institutions of the EU against the common “populist” threat. The strategy should be clear by now: the EU creates an artificial financial panic and national elites then use that to scare voters away from the “wrong” candidate. As an MP from Macron’s party told Le Figaro: “First and foremost, we need to scare people… to show the consequences and financial risks of the [National Rally’s] proposed measures.”
SHOIGU FINALLY GETS SACKED!! PATRUSHEV TOO!

Escobar’s reputation is in tatters
“ Pepe’s reputation took an unprecedented hit after this fiasco, and the collateral damage is that he risks discrediting his prestigious Russian contacts by association, or at least those institutions that they represent in the event that the pro-BRI faction that speculatively patronizes him applauds what he did. China won’t gain anything unless this tangibly helps the pro-BRI faction supersede the balancing one, but Iran already benefits from so many people imagining that Russia is its “strategic military ally”.
In spite of the present outcome compellingly making it seem like Iran is behind this – not to mention the previously cited evidence in support of this educated conjecture, Pepe’s trips to the Islamic Republic, and his long-running affiliation with its national media – someone else might still be responsible. It’s unlikely that he’ll burn his source even though they just burned him, but even if he did, his track record of false claims means that folks shouldn’t automatically believe him if he finally spills the beans to “save face”.

Yanis “Vaccinate Humanity” Varoufakis … priceless.
Actually it was HIS thought experiment in the Greek parliament that planted the idea to impose fines for the unvaccinated 60+ of age, something that wasn’t implemented NOWHERE ELSE.
Yes, Greek citizens who were older than 60 had to pay a fine of 150 euros for being unvaccinated. The ones who didn’t could no buy or sell a house, or get a loan etc.
So yeah Yanis is a clown talking about the “new fascism “
Things are bleak in Europe these days. European leaders are caught in a “fight or flight” response, deciding whether they should run and hide or send troops into Ukraine to fight the Menace from the East. However, the existential terror of Emmanuel Macron and his toxic-narcissist accomplices in the EU will have to wait for a dedicated article because this one will focus on the European economy.
It has puzzled many how the EU has been managing its economy since the beginning of the Ukraine war. There have been two distinct shocks inflicted upon the Eurozone economy since then. The third shock, which may be the worst, is on the way. All of them are direct results of European policies.
Though I agree that Trump is the victim of an unprecedented political prosecution let’s not forget his fatal flaw: his abysmal choices of ppl around him. From his clown of a Secretary of State Pompeo, to the Birx bird who now admits that she was misinforming him in order to impose the Covid lockdowns, to his lawyers in his many trials with the law.
And let’s not forget that it was his administration that gave the green light for the prosecution of Assange.
P.S: I don’t want to be asked again if I am a member of the TAE commentariat bc I don’t even know what that means.
“Dmitri: what was your plan? What was he supposed to do? It’s nice to say so from your couch, or like us, claim he must be protected from somewhere for some reason which is why he could posting like this, but …apparently not? We were all wrong, do we pay reparations to give his life back? We’re risking nothing but being critics and cranks. Do we set up a “Failure Fund: We Sucked” to support his kids?”
In hindsight would he have a better chance to flee Ukraine if he tried that after his first arrest without the accompanying fanfare?
I know I’m talking from my couch but aren’t we all? I know I’m just a crank but I thought then and I think now that broadcasting his intentions was not in his best interest.
Sometimes you just have to go under the radar and flee. Maybe he would be arrested. But maybe not. We will never know.
So I’m just wondering: how did Lira’s genius idea to broadcast his intentions to flee Ukraine help his plans?
Tulsi joins the Genocidal Maniacs Brigade
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.
I wonder what Maduro has to say about the burning of churches and the killings of Christian priests that are happening in many European countries.
Something in the Lira story doesn’t add up.
Imagine Snowden announcing on Twitter that he plans to flee to Hong Kong or to Equator to apply for asylum.
Living in Athens I can confirm that, yes, the past few days were hot. But nothing extraordinary. This is typical Greek summer. We had worse heatwaves in the past. So I don’t understand the hysteria. “Experts” on tv were calling for lockdowns. Greek authorities implemented restrictions on access to the city’s parks. This new fear mongering campaign is really mind boggling. Since yesterday the meltemi started blowing again so things are cooling down. But the clown experts want to convince us that we are experiencing something unprecedented. No. Again, this is typical Greek summer.
Wtf 😳

By now Escobar has lost all credibility. To repost his preposterous blah blah is an exercise in futility.
A different perspective from the xymphora blog
“Regular Russian Army fast becoming world’s most powerful military in ground combat“ (Doctorow). This is very interesting as it is essentially the opposite of the truth throughout. The Russian army wasn’t very good at either taking land or defending land. When Surovikin was put in charge, he cleaned up a lot of the sloppiness, and the Russians can be said now to be excellent at defending land. Taking land? Terrible! The Russians inherited the land which the militias had defended from the Ukrainian army in the east, and basically rolled over completely undefended Ukrainian land in the first two months of the conflict. In many cases, local Russian mayors just let the Russians in without conflict, something which the Ukrainians are still mad about. Since then, almost nothing has happened. There were some cities taken in the Donbas, particularly Soledar (Wagner, no longer available), and Bakhmut (ditto), and the Chechens took Mariupol in the south. The Russians currently have some operations in the north-east, which are making progress, but at the typical glacial Russian speed. Considering the two big withdrawals, the Russians are in a net loss position after over a year in terms of land.
Ursula tweets a speech where she talks about 100.000 Ukrainian military personnel killed then she deletes the tweet and posts another with an edited version of her speech where the above number is not mentioned. Of course nothing dies on the Internet.
You can’t make this shit up.
