Must Protect Bayer/Monsanto/RoundUp! Dr.Nass, House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn (GT) Thompson plans to 1) include the pesticide liability waiver and 2) kill California’s Prop 12 in the “Skinny Farm Bill” that must be passed this year

The study in question involved more than 18,000 children in Michigan’s Henry Ford Health system.
It was never peer-reviewed or published.
However, it was not due to bad science, but because its results contradicted the official “vaccine” narrative.
“The results are astonishing,” Siri testified.
The study confirmed that vaccinated children were:
4.29 times more likely to develop asthma.
3.03 times more likely to develop atopic disease.
5.96 times more likely to develop autoimmune disorders.
5.53 times more likely to develop neurodevelopmental disorders.
In total, vaccinated children were 2.48 times more likely to be diagnosed with a chronic health condition compared to those who never received a shot.
In some cases, such as diabetes or brain dysfunction, no unvaccinated children had the condition at all.
Yet the researchers, longtime vaccine advocates, refused to publish their findings, fearing for their careers.
According to Siri, Henry Ford Health leadership pressured them into silence. https://www.globalresearch.ca/bombshell-study-covered-up-unvaccinated-children-healthier/5902777 Early 2019: NIAID, DARPA, Bill Gates Intentionally Infect 80 Americans With Lab-Made Pandemic Influenza Virus: HHS Study
Majority of infected individuals became contagious to others, raising national security and informed consent concerns.
No description was provided for biosafety controls, isolation conditions, or post-infection release criteria, meaning the public record offers no verification of how HHS prevented the spread of its own lab-created virus beyond the NIH facility.
This omission raises not only national-security concerns but also informed-consent violations, since people who may have interacted with participants outside the study were never notified of possible exposure to an NIH-made pathogen.
Although the paper frames the experiment as advancing “next-generation vaccine development,” its findings instead showed that vaccination failed to prevent infection or viral shedding and appeared to trigger immune hyperactivation in vaccinated participants.
The newly published HHS study therefore stands as a rare, fully documented example of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services deliberately infecting American citizens with a laboratory-grown pandemic-grade virus—underwritten by HHS, DARPA, and the Gates Foundation, with no transparent account of how the resulting contagion was contained. https://jonfleetwood.substack.com/p/niaid-darpa-bill-gates-intentionallyYou’ll understand that these elegantly detailed solutions to war and world hunger can’t work if people just do what they want: The Architecture Is The Trap https://escapekey.substack.com/p/the-architecture-is-the-trap-7da

Now, the consequences of open-border policies and lax immigration policies that enabled migrants to be funneled into the small town could be set to unleash what some folks at the local level are calling a “humanitarian disaster” in the making. This is because Fourth Street Barbecue is planning to shut down its plants at the end of the month after defaulting on more than $80 million in loans… The plant’s closure means that most of its workers, Haitian migrants under Temporary Protected Status (TPS), will soon be jobless and, once their TPS protections expire, reclassified as illegal.

This is a story about a fight between titans in which Europe, due to its leaders stupidity, is the most significant casualty.
Today the Chinese government reacted to the Dutch raid of the Chinese owned company by cutting it off from Chinese technologies and products:
Chipmaker Nexperia, a subsidiary of China’s Wingtech Technology and a major supplier of mature chips for the automotive and consumer electronics sectors, announced on Tuesday that it has been banned by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce from exporting products made in China, including those produced by its subcontractors, after the Dutch government took over the company using a Cold-War-era law to secure Europe’s chip supply.
Nexperia said it is seeking an exemption from the export ban, which could affect Dutch access to its chips. The company operates an 80,000-square-meter assembly site in Guangdong province near Hong Kong, as well as fabrication, assembly, and testing facilities in Germany, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Britain.
If the Dutch government does not retract its decision to practically confiscate Nexperia the company will die. Its business is globalized. Parts of its products are made all over the world. Its products and sales in Europe depend on subcontractor products which are made in China.
The company is important to Europe. It produces some 90 billion bread and butter components per year which flow into other higher value European products. Sure, other Chinese companies will be happy to replace those parts. But where is the win for the Netherlands or Europe in that?
In the trade war between U.S. and China Europe should have stayed neutral. It should not have buckled under pressure from either side but rely on its own substantial trade powers to stay out of the fight. It is a fight in which the U.S. has no chance to win. https://www.moonofalabama.org/2025/10/china-reacts-after-u-s-pushed-netherlands-to-seize-chinese-owned-company.html China’s rare earths squeeze leaves US dangerously exposed

“I’m gonna get her in trouble with this one, but I actually asked her once, ‘So, Miriam, I know you love Israel. What do you love more? Israel. The United States or Israel?’ She refused to answer. That might mean Israel,” the president said…
..“Miriam and Sheldon would come into the office, they’d call me. I think they had more trips to the White House than anybody else I could think of. Look at her sitting there so innocently, she got $60 billion in the bank … and she loves Israel,” Trump said in his Knesset address, which Miriam attended.
“Her husband was a very aggressive man, but I loved him, very supportive of me. And he’d call up, ‘Can I come over and see you?’ I say, ‘Sheldon, I’m the president of the United States, it doesn’t work that way. He’d come in and do good, though. But they were very responsible for so much, including getting me thinking about Golan Heights,” Trump added. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/awkward-one-my-biggest-donors-cares-more-about-israel-us-trump-says There was a battle on between Kennedy and Israel in the days before he was assassinated: JFK Document Bombshell – Israeli Nukes
A newly un-redacted section of the JFK Assassination Document reveals something startling https://ggarros1.substack.com/p/jfk-document-bombshell-israeli-nukes Extensive, detailed and referenced: Israel was part of the conspiracy to kill JFK
JFK’s opposition to Israel’s nuclear weapons development wasn’t his only threat to Israel’s leaders. It seems that Kennedy believed in the right of return for the 750,000 Palestinians who were expelled by Zionist forces as part of the establishment of Israel in 1948.
Two articles appeared in The New York Times on 21 November 1963 – the day before JFK’s assassination – detailing US efforts at the United Nations to allow Palestinian refugees to return to present-day Israel. They were headlined: “Israel Dissents as UN Group Backs US on Arab Refugees” and “US Stand Angers Israel.”
In addition, in 1962, the Department of Justice, under Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, argued that the American Zionist Council – a precursor to AIPAC – was being funded by the Jewish Agency for Israel and ordered the council to register as a foreign agent.
That order was quietly dropped in 1966 by the Johnson administration, and, in 1967, an American Zionist Council front group was renamed and reorganized as the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) without having to register as a foreign agent. https://israelpalestinenews.org/israel-was-part-of-the-conspiracy-to-kill-jfk/ Russia hands over its JFK assassination files to US lawmaker
The declassified Soviet-era documents are from the archives in Moscow, Ambassador Darchiev has said https://www.rt.com/news/626449-russian-jfk-files-handover/ Israeli soldiers ‘launched arson spree’ in immediate aftermath of Gaza truce deal
The aftermath of the mass arson was also documented by local residents upon returning to the area. The homes that were burned had been some of the only ones remaining, left intact because they were used as military staging areas.
Before withdrawing, soldiers also torched the Sheikh Ajlin Sewage Treatment Station, which is critical for Gaza City’s sanitation network.
In social media posts, soldiers posed in front of the burning plant; one caption read “[One] last memory”. https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2025/10/12/756789/Palestine-Gaza-Israel-US-Hamas Israeli Soldiers Torched Food, Homes, and a Critical Sewage Treatment Plant in the Wake of Ceasefire Announcement

Observers have stated that the forced exile constitutes a blatant violation of the citizenship rights of the freed prisoners and exemplifies the double standards associated with the exchange agreements.
“It goes without saying it’s illegal,” Tamer Qarmout, associate professor in public policy at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, told Al Jazeera television news network. He added, “It is illegal because these are citizens of Palestine. They have no other citizenship”. https://en.mehrnews.com/news/237659/154-freed-Palestinian-prisoners-forced-into-exile-by-IsraelMore Than 200 Bodies Dug Out of the Gaza Rubble Since Ceasefire Went Into Effect https://scheerpost.com/2025/10/13/more-than-200-bodies-dug-out-of-the-gaza-rubble-since-ceasefire-went-into-effect/
Caitlin Johnstone, The Trumpanyahu Administration Is Already Sabotaging The Ceasefire
An Israeli ceasefire means “you cease and we fire.” …
The IDF reportedly killed nine Palestinians trying to return to their homes today under the usual justification that they were traveling in some kind of unauthorized area in ways that made the troops feel threatened, blah blah. They did this all the time during the previous “ceasefire” at the beginning of the year, using the exact same excuses.
Just as we speculated the other day might happen, Israel has announced that it is going to cut the aid it allows into Gaza in half and cut off fuel and gas shipments because Hamas hasn’t returned the bodies of all the dead Israeli hostages. Israel was fully aware when it signed the agreement that Hamas would not be able to deliver the bodies of all the hostages right away due to the rubble and chaos caused by the Israeli bombing campaign in Gaza. https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/the-trumpanyahu-administration-is His audience of supporters: In Jerusalem, Trump hails ‘historic dawn of a new Middle East’ after Gaza ceasefire deal
Addressing the Israeli parliament, Trump called the agreement that brought about a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of the captives held by Hamas a triumph as he thanked mediators from the Arab and Muslim world.
“Let me also convey my tremendous appreciation for all of the nations of the Arab and Muslim world that came together to press Hamas to set the hostages free and to send them home,” Trump said in remarks before the Israeli parliament.
“We had a lot of help, we had a lot of help from a lot of people that you wouldn’t suspect, and I want to thank them very much for that.

Lip-reader transcript of “death grip” extended handshake: Macron’s ominous warning to Trump at Egypt summit: ‘You will see what is about to happen’
Lip reader Nicola Hickling told the Daily Mail that the handshake was much more than just a casual greeting between the two leaders.
‘Nice to see you, so you agreed?’ Trump told Macron who soon turned away from the camera and muttered an inaudible response.
‘Are you being genuine?’ Trump asks as Macron quickly replies, ‘Of course.’
The commander-in-chief then tightens his grips around Macron’s palm before shooting back, ‘Okay, so now I want to know why, you hurt me. I already know.’
Trump then squeezes Macron’s hand again as the French president looks down and away from the cameras.
It’s not clear what the pair were speaking about; however, it comes weeks after Macron was seen mocking Trump with world leaders.
The two leaders have a colorful history together, often seeming to appear friendly, despite occasionally criticizing each other in public.
Speaking slowly and clearly Trump says, ‘I am making peace.’
Macron then taps Trump’s hand and replies, ‘Ah come on’, while Trump ignores and grasps tighter.
‘I only hurt those who hurt others,’ Trump tells Macron while pointing at the cameras.
‘I see. We will have to see about that,’ Macron says before issuing a stark warning to Trump. ‘You will see what is about to happen.’
Trump concludes, ‘I’d like to see you do it, do it. I’ll see you in a bit.’ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15188639/Trump-yanks-Macrons-tense-Egypt.htmlIt is like they can just say anything, because something’s coming to invalidate it: Hubris and Theatrics Mark Atlanticist West’s Detachment from Reality
During this week’s NATO ‘Defense Ministers Summit’ in Brussels, lumpish Secretary General Mark Rutte broke the record for the most cringe-worthy statements in a two-minute span…
..Not only does he pretend to believe that NATO is dozens of times economically more powerful than Russia, but that its military is “infinitely” superior as well—using the language of children…
..The most tragicomic part of the humiliated boy-toy of “daddy” Don’s rhetoric is that, if you listen carefully, its purpose appears merely to assuage his fellow apparatchiks, who are likely getting cold feet about brushing so close with death in antagonizing Russia.
Pleadingly—in the language of abject humiliation—Rutte begs them to “please take that into account”, and “take comfort” in the feigned aggrandizement of the alliance he’s so desperately heaping on to cover for its actual historic weakness. The purpose becomes clear: it’s a plying session meant to ease his compatriots’ worries; and it would not have been necessary if it weren’t for the fact that all of them believe precisely the opposite...
..The “strongman” NATO Reichschancellor goes on to flaccidly declare that the alliance will “gently” escort Russian planes that pose no threat because NATO is “so strong”—and only if NATO were “weak” would the alliance have to shoot the Russian planes down...
..To make matters worse, in a new interview disgraced “general” Ben Hodges boasted that should Russia dare attack ‘mighty’ NATO, both Kaliningrad and Sevastopol would be “annihilated” in the very first hour…
..If this smorgasbord of empty narcissism wasn’t enough, the king of ego himself capped off the day of pompous exultation with a final round of face-palm-inducing jabber. After nonsensically bloviating on about 1.5 million Russian casualties, he cited “long Russian gas lines” before ludicrously claiming the Russian economy will soon “collapse”… That’s not to mention again unironically repeating the claim that he destroyed BRICS. On the contrary, BRICS has only been growing stronger, with de-dollarization booming amidst latest announcements that Indian oil companies have returned to paying for Russian oil in yuan. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/hubris-and-theatrics-mark-atlanticistTrump: Zelensky will ask me for Tomahawk missiles on Friday https://en.topwar.ru/272287-tramp-zelenskij-v-pjatnicu-poprosit-u-menja-rakety-tomagavk.html
John Helmer, WHAT IS RUSSIA’S STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH VENEZUELA WORTH IF THE US ATTACKS
Last week, according to the New York Times, the Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was reported to have tried to head off President Donald Trump’s escalation to frontal military attack on Venezuela and regime change in Caracas by offering “a dominant stake in Venezuela’s oil and other mineral wealth in discussions that lasted for months, according to multiple people close to the talks.” Reportedly, Maduro’s terms included: “all existing and future oil and gold projects to American companies, give preferential contracts to American businesses, reverse the flow of Venezuelan oil exports from China to the United States, and slash his country’s energy and mining contracts with Chinese, Iranian and Russian firms.”
If Maduro did that, Russian sources concede hypothetically, it would amount to his revocation of Article 6 and Article 10 of the “Agreement between the Russian Federation and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela on Strategic Partnership and Cooperation”.
The first provision of the treaty calls for “joint initiatives within the framework of OPEC+, the Forum of Gas Exporting Countries and other multilateral organizations, [to] promote balanced and stable long–term development of global energy markets without using artificial restrictions and unfair competition tools”. The second proposed to “cooperate in the energy sector in such areas as the exploration and development of new oil and natural gas fields, increasing the returns of fields operated by joint ventures and reducing their environmental impact.”
Maduro signed the instrument of treaty ratification in front of the Russian Ambassador to Venezuela on October 7. But that was several days after Maduro had been told the Trump Administration had rejected his scheme to replace the Russian oil companies with American ones, and had cancelled negotiations on Maduro’s term sheet led by Richard Grenell...
..“Venezuela has an unusually varied collection of air defence assets, including smaller numbers of more capable systems. However, even most of the older surface-to-air missile systems have been upgraded and, as stated earlier, are generally highly mobile, meaning they can appear virtually anywhere, disrupting carefully laid mission plans. They could still pose a threat that would have to be taken seriously during any kind of offensive U.S. air operation directed against Venezuela…At the very least, it might be expected that the Venezuelan air defence picture would prompt the U.S. military to rely heavily on stealthy aircraft like the F-35, especially for any direct strikes on targets in defended areas of the country, as well as costly standoff munitions. Such a campaign would also require the support of defence-suppression assets and other support aircraft with their associated capabilities.”
In mid-2024, the Pentagon-funded Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Washington concluded that Russia’s readiness to support Venezuela in a military conflict with the US is more symbolic than substantial. “Russia’s actions in the Caribbean are a form of symbolic engagement with allies that typically challenges U.S. leadership in the region… in contrast to the United States’ tangible support for Ukraine, Russian actions have been primarily symbolic, demonstrating Moscow’s capacity to engage countries close to U.S. territory and highlighting Washington’s failure to isolate Russia globally. Yet, it also indicates that Moscow is comfortable operating in the Western Hemisphere, underscoring the potential for escalation.”
Oleg Tsarev — a leading Ukrainian opposition figure and candidate president for Kiev currently in exile in Crimea — has observed: “China and Russia…are major investors in Venezuela’s oil industry. China buys more than 90% of all Venezuelan oil, and is also one of the main creditors of Caracas. Russian investment exceeds $4 billion. In the event of an American invasion of Venezuela or a change in the foreign policy of Maduro, Moscow and Beijing are likely to lose their investments. Maria Machado, the newly minted Nobel laureate and leader of the Venezuelan opposition, has also offered projects worth almost $2 trillion over 15 years to the Americans.
Maria Machado, the newly minted Nobel laureate and leader of the Venezuelan opposition, has also offered projects worth almost $2 trillion over 15 years to the Americans. In general, the government and the opposition of Venezuela are now competing to see who will offer Trump more and appease him better.” “But, as practice shows, attempts to buy off the Americans, if they are firmly focused on regime change, do not lead to anything good. Maduro would be especially foolish to sacrifice relations with China and Russia at the request of the United States”. https://johnhelmer.net/what-is-russias-strategic-partnership-agreement-with-venezuela-worth-if-the-us-attacks/ An assassination did not take place: Moscow foils ISIS terror attack coordinated with Kiev: Report

Another Nuclear Warning From Medvedev, This Time Over Tomahawks
Medvedev’s chilling response on Monday spelled out that this “could end badly for everyone … most of all, for Trump himself,” according to a translation of his Telegram post.
“It’s been said a hundred times, in a manner understandable even to the star-spangled man, that it’s impossible to distinguish a nuclear Tomahawk missile from a conventional one in flight,” Medvedev, who serves as the Russian Security Council Deputy Chair, further noted.
Medvedev here is alluding to Russian strategic doctrine. In a scenario where Moscow leaders believed or suspected a nuclear payload had been launched at Russia, its military would have the right to respond in kind, with nukes…
..President Zelensky has meanwhile sought to make clear he won’t target anything but military sites with them, in an effort to convince Washington these long-range missiles can be deployed ‘responsibly’. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/another-nuclear-warning-medvedev-time-over-tomahawksLukashenko: Tomahawk deliveries to Ukraine escalate the situation to the point of nuclear war

It looks to me like something big will soon “snap” in geopolitics and global finance, but what and exactly-when?
Worsening real economic conditions for the great majority of people outside Russia and China create frustrations and hopelessness, which should manifest as crowd-actions against ruling elites at some point.
Borrowing from the future has been taken beyond anything which can be serviced without borrowing, which awaits some inevitable sovereign-debt panic.
Power elites know this well and monitor it daily, seeking every possible tool to quell and prevent dislocations.
External enemies are good (Russia, Russia, Russia).
Repression of political speech on social media and the internet is appealing, but counterproductive in gross-excess.
Digital currency to be able to feed or not feed individuals, according to AI algorithms at the supermarket checkout,, look promising in the UK.
Both funding of variously-violent mass protests and cracking down on that funding are in-play in the US, along with supporting and expelling illegal immigrants.
In the US there is a power struggle between elite factions, which is also beginning in the EU, with right-nationalist-populism rising.
Ukraine is at the cusp of crisis, with the Emergency Martial Law expiring November 5, and very uncertain to be renewed, as many Ukrainians will be freezing to death in the dark by then. If this is not renewed, then there will be local (just delayed) and national elections (Zelensky & Rada).

Potentially harvestable organs of living humans might soon be tokenized into digital currency if current trends persist… Surplus Energy Economics, A stroll along Revolution Street CAN WEALTH AND ORDER SURVIVE?
According to a recent BBC report, some of America’s wealthiest men are, or might be, investing in bunkers, or, as the article’s headline puts it, “doom prepping”. Author Zoe Kleinman goes on to mention just one of the many reasons why bunkers may be an impractical idea:
“I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own “bunker”, who told me his security team’s first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn’t seem to be joking”…
The wealthiest must know that today’s extremes of wealth are abnormal, and might know, too, that the unfolding ending and reversal of material economic growth further stacks the odds against the continuation of this anomaly...
..The very different attitudes to private profit – largely disregarded in China, almost worshipped in the West – are critical to competition between the two leading economic powers. It’s at least arguable that the pursuit of profit is only possible under conditions of economic expansion.
The West in general – and the United States in particular – may be entering a profoundly different era with exactly the wrong set of ideas.
In its determination to maintain the central role of private profit, then, the West may be trying to board a train that has already left the station.
SEEDS analysis indicates that material economic prosperity – for which money is no more than an operating proxy and a symbol – is likely to be about 14% lower in 2050 than it is today. Based on current population trends, this would make the World’s average person about 31% poorer than he or she is now. https://surplusenergyeconomics.wordpress.com/2025/10/11/312-a-stroll-along-revolution-street/comment-page-1/#respondYou first, Chuckie: Chuck Schumer Calls For “Forceful” Uprising Against Trump Administration https://www.zerohedge.com/political/chuck-schumer-calls-forceful-uprising-against-trump-administration

130% of a YEAR’S global silver supply dumped in ONE DAY
What’s taking place with demand for physical delivery, is putting a lot of these “paper” silver companies in a squeeze. What happens when they run out of actual metal to ship to people who are demanding it?
Most of these “paper” silver contracts, have an escape clause: “In the event of shortage of metal, the claim can be settled in cash.” So people who THINK they “own” silver which is simply being held by someone else, safely, in a vault, suddenly find out they don’t “own” it at all and the “vault” . . . . . . is empty. Delivery doesn’t come. So they demand to be paid, and then the squeeze is REALLY “on” for those companies. That is where things are heading as of Friday.
By most reasonable estimates, there are only about 3 Billion ounces of physical silver in the whole world right now. We’re supposed to believe that 1.1 Billion of those ounces, were offered for sale yesterday. Sorry, no. Don’t believe a word of it.
My local dealer informed me as of today (Saturday, October 11) the price fixing mechanism is now being set by COMEX, not Kitco. They want you to think the price you’re seeing is “Spot.” It’s not, it’s Futures. Kitco sets Physical price, COMEX sets Futures.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize to María Corina Machado, a leading Venezuelan opposition figure. Machado was set to run for president last year, but she was disqualified by the government of President Nicolás Maduro, with fellow opposition leader Edmundo González standing in for her. Venezuela’s National Electoral Council ultimately declared Maduro the winner of the contested election, and he was sworn in for his third term in January.
Machado has voiced support for U.S. sanctions against Venezuela and other efforts to topple the government; she aims to privatize the country’s state oil industry and has praised right-wing Latin American leaders, including Argentina’s Javier Milei and El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele. https://www.democracynow.org/2025/10/10/nobel_peace_prizePutin Skewers Nobel Committee, Praises Trump’s Gaza Efforts https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/putin-skewers-nobel-committee-praises-trumps-gaza-efforts

“Israel’s great challenge after the phase of returning the hostages will be the destruction of all of Hamas’s terror tunnels in Gaza, directly by the IDF and through the international mechanism to be established under the leadership and supervision of the United States. This is the primary significance of implementing the agreed-upon principle of demilitarizing Gaza and neutralizing Hamas of its weapons. I have instructed the IDF to prepare for carrying out the mission.”
Hamas has not agreed to any demilitarization or destruction of its tunnels. There is no way to demilitarize Gaza and neutralize Hamas of its weapons against their will without continued warfare, something Israel has demonstrated it cannot do without killing shocking numbers of civilians.

John Helmer has an extensive review of a Russian national survey in depth and detail, notably inquiring into views on the management of the war in Ukraine. Putin’s support percentages in many sub demographics are well laid out, and his overall support for his cautious Ukraine war policy, being careful to avoid traps for nuclear war provocations, are about 80% supported, the same as his overall support rating. There were a lot of speculations that Russians supported his war management less, and certain specific demographics do. It is an instructive read. A sample is excerpted. PUTIN’S LINE ON ORESHNIK AND TRUMP IS THE RUSSIAN CONSENSUS AMERICANS DON’T UNDERSTAND
As part of the September poll, a survey experiment — already conducted by Levada several times before — was again repeated. With the help of a random number generator, the survey participants were divided into two equal groups, each of which was asked the question in one of the two formulations. In the first case, respondents were asked to say whether they would or would not support the President’s decision to end the military conflict immediately without any conditions. In the second case, the respondents were asked to answer whether they would support or not support the same decision, but if the condition is that the Novorossiya territories are returned.
The majority of respondents — 80%, this has grown by 18 percentage points since May 2023 — would support the decision of Putin if “this week” he decided to end the military conflict with Ukraine. However, if “this week” Putin decided to end the conflict on the condition that the annexed territories are returned, then his decision would be supported by a significantly smaller number of Russians – a third of the respondents; that is to say 33%, an increase of 5 percentage points since February 2025.
More often than not, the President would be supported in the decision to end the military conflict this week by women (84%); young people under 25 (93%); those who believe that things in the country are on the wrong track (88%); those who approve of Putin’s performance as president (84%); those who trust social networks and telegram channels as sources of information (89% each); those who support the activities of the Russian military in Ukraine (97%); and those who believe that military action should continue now (95%).
Comparatively speaking, the decision of the President to end the military conflict immediately is not supported by men (18%); older respondents (20% aged 55 and older); residents of Moscow (19%); those who believe that things in the country are going in the right direction (15%); those who approve of the performance of Putin as president (14%); those who trust television as a source of information (17%); those who support the actions of the Russian military in Ukraine (18%); and those who believe that military action should continue (34%). https://johnhelmer.net/putins-line-on-oreshnik-and-trump-is-the-russian-consensus-americans-dont-understand/ Gilbert Doctorow disagrees with Putin’s cautious approach: Transcript of chat with Lt Colonel Daniel Davis, 8 October
This bridging loan, which the Europeans want to give to Ukraine, what is it all about? It’s to keep the Ukrainians in play for three years, or four years. Why three or four years? Look at the rest of the program. They are spending now hundreds of billions of euros to build up, to bulk up Europe’s military production.
Germany is a leader in this with a one trillion euro debt that’s taking out mostly for the purpose of building out its armed forces and for, as Mr Merz said openly, to make Germany the biggest defender he calls it, let’s call it by the real name, the biggest military force in Western Europe. That will be ready for when? For 2029. Merz has said that the Russians will attack in 2029.
Let’s speak not more Orwellian language, but real language. He means that he will attack Russia in 2029. And if he builds out the army as he plans, you know, Europe could just win. This is not my opinion, but again, experts on Russian state television are saying, not that the Germans will win, but they’re saying that German industry should not be disparaged. German industry is quite serious, and if money is put into it, you know, they can build good arms.
So the situation is not a six-month perspective. The situation that Europe is looking at is a four-year perspective. And you know something? It can work like that. And that is precisely why I’ve changed my mind about the wisdom of the “go slow, don’t rock the boat, don’t challenge the West too much” policy of Putin. It’s reached the end of its practical life. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/10/09/transcript-of-chat-with-lt-colonel-daniel-davis-8-october/ Doctorow, Transcript of NewsX World interview, 8 October
What we’re talking about is the consequence of exchange of strikes by Russia and Ukraine against the energy infrastructure of the other side. In our news, Western news, they speak only about Ukraine’s strikes on the Russian infrastructure. In the Russian news, they speak only about their own strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure.
And it’s understandable that the broad public does not have any sense of the sequence here. Who did what to whom when, and what was an action, and what was proactive, and what was reactive? From my following this, I would like to call out that the latest Ukrainian remarks on what they have to import, or on how Russia has now lost its refinery capacity, 30, 50 percent or more of Russian production and refining has been stopped. The Russians are importing gasoline and so forth. As typically, the Ukrainians are projecting onto the Russians what is happening in Ukraine. Ukraine is importing, Russia is not importing anything in this regard.
However, the Russians have had serious losses of refining capacity and of other energy infrastructure due to Ukrainian strikes. And some of those strikes were directed by Americans. Let’s be quite open about this. It isn’t discussed in media, but it is known that the most recent strikes by Ukraine on Russian gas and oil infrastructure [were] using HIMARS, and it was Americans who were directing those HIMARS.
This is a very serious escalation. The damage was considerable. In Russian news you hear nothing about the extensive destruction of their energy infrastructure by Ukrainian attacks. What you do here, and this is mostly in social media, is in this region or that region there is a shortage of fuel. Now, when this comes to a discussion, public discussion, the Russian patriots will tell you, “Ah, this is the season of the harvest. The diesel fuel and other fuel is in short supply for that reason.”
Rubbish. It’s in short supply because refineries were struck. The issue is very serious. And the Russian response was also serious. They’ve had in the last few days massive attacks by missiles and drones on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure across the country. And the results were devastating, but not in the sense that they were put an end to the war. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/10/09/transcript-of-newsx-world-interview-8-october/Russia is making the cities it might take soon uninhabitable before winter.

Also, more importantly, it is hard to interpret. Yes, he is showing-support for Big Pharma, including Pfizer, which means his deals are as-good-as-his-word, and so on, BUT is it worse if he got fake shots to fool us, making him at least 57.1 % evil, or if he went ahead and got the real bug-juice, meaning that he is already going senile or has a near-term terminal illness, so why-not?Kunstler is only 37.3% evil, so mostly “good”, but Ted (“Snake-Eyes”) Cruz is 81.4% evil and Lindsey Graham is hard to find any good in at all; less than 10%, for sure…
Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, Health Watch: What to Do about ACA Subsidies
A major sticking point in reopening the government is the extension of expiring Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies. Without these subsidies, insurance premiums will double for those receiving them. Because of this, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is breaking ranks with the Republican Party.
It should be obvious that government benefits, once granted, are virtually impossible to take away, and a subsidy “cliff” will be politically disastrous. The subsidies were necessary to mask the fact that affordable options were being taken away, and extremely expensive coverage mandates were being imposed. The cliff was needed to mask the long-term cost of the bill.
So, what can be done now? One suggestion is a conditional extension of the subsidies combined with measures to reduce costs, based on an understanding of why costs are outrageous. The graph below shows the enormous increase in administrators, and the legislation associated with it.
All that administration is supposed to decrease “unnecessary” care. It is time to ask how many tests could be bought for the price of the staff used to deny them...
..We don’t know how much time is wasted by physicians and nurses in documentation that serves no purpose except to justify billing—but it may eat half their time.
Republicans reneged on their promises to repeal ACA. So, how about promising that “if you like your ACA plan you can keep your ACA plan,” but the following changes will be made to allow affordable alternatives to arise: all federal insurance mandates are repealed, so you can buy an affordable catastrophes-only plan; the ban on physician-owned hospitals is repealed; payments are site-neutral; all medical payments including individually owned insurance (not just employer-owned insurance) are payable with pre-tax dollars; and other freedom-expanding measures are actively explored. https://aapsonline.org/health-watch-what-to-do-about-aca-subsidies/Sasha Latypova, TrumpRx + BlinkRx: self dealing by Trump family x2! https://sashalatypova.substack.com/p/trumprx-drug-deal-self-dealing-by
Exclusive: OSHA Admits It Told Healthcare Employers Not to Report COVID Vaccine Injuries
After a whistleblower alerted The Defender, an OSHA spokesperson confirmed an internal directive telling healthcare employers not to report or track COVID-19 vaccine injuries. OSHA removed the policy from its website after inquiries from The Defender. Critics said the directive concealed the scope of vaccine injuries and made it difficult for injured workers to obtain workers’ compensation or disability benefits. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/exclusive-osha-admits-healthcare-employers-told-not-to-report-covid-vaccine-injuries/ Anastassia Makarieva and Andrei Nefiodov, Clean Waters of Evenkia
How a village club’s talk on Siberian forests and water reflects—like a drop of water—the complexity of human (mis)understandings of their predicament
After the talk, a discussion followed. Some people shared examples of how “everything dried out” after logging and how “everything burned.” Andrei explained how disrupting the natural tree canopy reduces transpiration, leading to warming and drying. Surprisingly, not a single person challenged him. They knew it was true, yet it was hard knowledge to explicitly handle.
Then came the difficult question: “What can be done?” At one point, the listener who had been disruptive before exclaimed, almost like a child, “Evenkia is such a small place! Can’t it be saved? Just it?”
And indeed, I thought: who would truly suffer if we simply saved this pearl of the Earth’s cleanest waters? What if these trees were left standing? Some families might not be able to renovate their wooden furniture—but perhaps what they already have could serve a little longer, just for the sake of preserving Evenkia. Chinese factories might lose a source of packaging paper. Maybe that is not so tragic. Why must the destruction of Evenkia feel so inevitable? https://bioticregulation.substack.com/p/clean-waters-of-evenkiaWorld Council For Health A Common-Sense Approach to Childhood Vaccines is Now Needed
The number of vaccines given to babies and children has increased dramatically without the necessary due diligence by regulatory authorities. Parents are urged to adopt a common-sense, ‘Safer to Wait” approach. https://www.worldcouncilforhealth.org/childhood-vaccines/ Prior to1986 many parents were given the option to delay any vaccinations until after the first birthday, which is what we and many of our doctor friends did. There were far fewer shots then, too. Autism was rare. This is a printable 4 page PDF of The Vaccine Friendly Plan of Paul Thomas MD, from the book by the same name. His pediatric practice used it successfully to avoid autism in high risk children by spacing out childhood vaccines. https://www.integrativepediatricsonline.com/uploads/1/0/9/2/109222957/the_vaccine-friendly_plan.pdf

“Indian Oil Corporation recently made payments in Chinese currency for two to three cargoes of Russian oil,” informed sources told the British outlet.
“Now, traders, which until now had to convert payments in dirhams or dollars into yuans – since only those can be directly exchanged into rubles needed to pay the producers – are seeking to remove one costly step from the process,” one trade source said. https://thecradle.co/articles/indian-traders-switch-to-chinese-yuan-for-russian-oil-purchases-report US imposes new sanctions targeting Iran’s oil export network

Re-re-rehypothecation of assets: First Brands Collapse Blindsides Wall Street, Exposing Cracks in a Hot Corner of Finance
That so few outside of First Brands had a full view of all the red flags around the auto-parts supplier before it imploded spectacularly late last month, stands as a stark example of the growing risks of money flooding into the opaque world of private financing.
By the time it all came crashing down, the company’s sprawling network of auto-parts factories and distribution centers was on the hook for over $10 billion to some of the biggest firms on Wall Street: Jefferies, UBS and Millennium, among others.
While the full extent of the damage — and what exactly went wrong — remains unclear 11 days after First Brands declared bankruptcy, the stakes were raised on Wednesday night when one of First Brands’ financial partners made an emergency court filing calling for an independent investigation into $2.3 billion tied to the company it said had “simply vanished.” https://finance.yahoo.com/news/first-brands-collapse-blindsides-wall-143554303.html
