    German Judge Sentences Soldier to Prison For 6 Months For Refusing COVID Vaccines
    A German newspaper, Berliner Zeitung, reports that Jan Reiners, a Bundeswehr soldier who refused COVID vaccinations, was imprisoned on July 12, 2024.
    Despite the fact the vaccine mandate has ended, Reiners will stay in prison for at least six months and is also expected to pay a thousands of euros in fines. https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/german-judge-sentences-soldier-to-prison-for-6-months-for-refusing-covid-vaccines/

    ​ CDC Director Dismisses Link Between COVID Vaccine Rollout and Global Death Surge as Coincidence
    Covid-19 mRNA vaccines are not to blame for the sudden and unexpected death surge among vaccinated people in the wake of the vaccine roll out, according to CDC Director Mandy Cohen.
    ​ According to Cohen, vaccines can be dismissed as a possible cause of the rise in sudden and unexpected deaths, instead claiming that “80% of American adults have an underlying health issue.”
    ​ During a press briefing last week, Cohen declared that her two children, aged 10 and 12 years, will be receiving the new boosters, as she sought to convince the public that Covid vaccines remain safe, efficient and vital for public health in 2024.​ https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/cdc-director-dismisses-link-between-covid-vaccine-rollout-and-global-death-surge-as-coincidence/

    ​ Study Links Covid mRNA Shots to Blood Cancer Surge
    ​ The team of researchers led by Zhentao Cui and Juan Cheng, both with Lanzhou University First Hospital in China’s Gansu province, conducted a study to identify the source of the recent surge in the once-rare blood cancer.
    ​ As cases of lymphoma have skyrocketed since Covid mRNA injections were rolled out for public use in early 2021, the study sought to examine where the “vaccines” had played a role in the spike.
    During their study, the two researchers tapped into and analyzed five key databases from major medical journals and government data…
    ​..The study identified 143 cases of post-Covid mRNA vaccination lymphoma.
    Cui and Cheng note this number is inclusive of 11 cases from 9 articles and 132 cases of vaccine adverse events.
    Applying the authors’ systemic analysis reveals out of the cases, 53.8% were female, with a median age of onset at 62 years.
    They note that blood cancer cases were reported in patients aged between 9 and 99 years old.
    ​ The study found lymphoma was only associated with mRNA shots, and not other vaccines targeting COVID-19.
    Of the total cases of lymphoma analyzed during the study, 51.7% of the patients had received a Pfizer mRNA injection.
    Moderna’s Covid mRNA shot was associated with 42.7% of the total cases.
    Of those incidences of lymphoma, 45.7% of the affected patients developed the condition within 30 days of mRNA “vaccine” administration.​ https://slaynews.com/news/study-links-covid-mrna-shots-blood-cancer-surge/

    ​ (Mutiny? “Have your back”?) Nation’s Largest Police Union Endorses Trump
    Former President Donald Trump gained the endorsement of the national Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), America’s biggest and oldest police union, on Sept. 6.
    ​ “During his time in the White House, we had a partner and a leader. Today, Mr. President, we stand with you,” FOP President Patrick Yoes said at the group’s meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Sept. 6.​ “We have your back, and we’re committed to work tirelessly for your election.”​ https://www.zerohedge.com/political/nations-largest-police-union-endorses-trump

    Trump pledges to scale back use of sanctions
    Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has promised to drastically reduce the use of sanctions by the US if he wins the election in November.
    During an appearance at the Economic Club of New York on Thursday, Trump was asked if he plans to “strengthen or modify” Washington’s economic restrictions on Russia and other countries. “I want to use sanctions as little as possible,” he replied, explaining that there is “a problem” with the extensive reliance on such penalties by the US, because “ultimately it kills your dollar and it kills everything the dollar represents.”
    It is “important” for the dollar to remain the international reserve currency, the former president insisted.
    “If we lost the dollar as the world currency, I think that would be the equivalent of losing a war, that would make us a third-world country. And we cannot let it happen,” he said…
    ..In July, the Washington Post reported that a third of the world’s nations, including 60% of low-income countries, are currently under some form of US sanctions. The sources told the paper that there is chaos at the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), as it can no longer handle the workload of maintaining such a complex web of economic penalties. https://swentr.site/news/603651-trump-sanctions-russia-iran/

    Andrew Korybko, Russia & China’s US-Provoked Payment Problems Caught Most BRICS Enthusiasts By Surprise
    China’s complex economic-financial interdependence with the West places certain restraints on its sovereignty.
    RT published a feature analysis on Friday asking, “Has the US finally succeeded in choking off Russia’s biggest trade lifeline?”, which readers are encouraged to read in full to learn more Russia and China’s US-provoked payment problems. In a nutshell, Chinese banks of all sizes have suddenly started complying with the US’ sanctions out of fear of secondary sanctions, which RT’s financial expert Henry Johnston reminded everyone has also been reported by the domestic Russian media whose articles he cites.
    All of this is shocking for the average BRICS enthusiast who’s been influenced by wishful thinking articles since the start of the special operation into imagining that this group is an anti-Western bloc. They’ve also heard countless times that “the dollar is dead” or is “about to die any day now,” that Russia and China are “allies” who are jointly resisting the West in all respects, and that a new world order has already emerged to replace the previously American-led unipolar one. None of that is true though.
    The dollar remains the world’s reserve currency despite the reputational damage caused by the US’ anti-Russian sanctions, Russia and China are mired in US-provoked payment problems, and multipolarity has yet to fully emerge since the legacy of America’s unipolar system is responsible for the aforesaid. https://korybko.substack.com/p/russia-and-chinas-us-provoked-payment

    (“I dares ya to drop them sanctions!”) Russia sanctions will stay… until US collapses – Medvedev
    “For all his apparent bravado as an ‘outsider,’ Trump is ultimately an establishment insider. Yes, he is an eccentric narcissist, but he is also a pragmatist,” the official, who now serves as deputy chair of the Russian Security Council, said. The former US president understands that sanctions harm the dollar’s role as the international reserve currency, but for him it is still an “insufficient reason to stage a revolution in the US and go against the anti-Russian line of the notorious Deep State, which is much stronger than any Trump,” Medvedev argued… “So, it is sanctions forever. Or rather, until the US collapses during an imminent new civil war. After all, Hollywood makes films about this for a reason,” Medvedev wrote.
    He appeared to be referencing the recent ‘Civil War’ movie directed by Alex Garland, which tells the story of a team of war reporters traveling across America to interview the president amid fighting between the federal government and a Texas- and California-led secessionist movement. https://swentr.site/russia/603654-sanctions-trump-harris-medvedev/

    LOOKS LIKE ADVERTIZING: President Trump Outlines His Plan To Make America AFFORDABLE Again [Teddy Roosevelt’s industrial populism, appropriately updated.]
    President Trump has a plan to rescue Americans from Kamala’s nightmare — and bring back the American Dream bigger, better, and stronger than ever before:
    PILLAR ONE: American Energy
    President Trump will END Kamala Harris’s anti-energy crusade by implementing a policy of abundance, independence, and dominance — and cutting energy prices in HALF or more within a year of taking office.
    President Trump will immediately issue a national emergency declaration to achieve a massive increase in domestic energy supply — and blast through every bureaucratic hurdle to issue rapid approvals for new drilling, pipelines, refineries, and power plants and reactors.
    As a result, prices will fall immediately in anticipation of new supply.
    PILLAR TWO: Ending the Green New Deal
    To further defeat inflation, President Trump will terminate the socialist Green New Deal and rescind all unspent funds under the misnamed “Inflation Reduction Act.” President Trump will also immediately end Kamala’s electric vehicle mandate — stopping the waste and saving taxpayers an estimated $1 trillion.
    PILLAR THREE: Cutting Regulations
    In President Trump’s first term, he pledged to cut two existing regulations for each new regulation — and he did far better than that, cutting more than 5.5 regulations for every new regulation. But over the past four years, Kamala has added as much as $6,300/year in new regulatory costs onto the backs of every American family.
    In his second term, President Trump will be even more aggressive in cutting unnecessary and burdensome regulations by eliminating a minimum of TEN old regulations for every one new regulation.
    Moreover, instead of attacking the industries of the future, President Trump will embrace them, making America the world capital for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
    PILLAR FOUR: Prioritizing Efficiency
    In 2022, fraud and improper payments cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars. That’s why, at the suggestion of Elon Musk, President Trump will create a Government Efficiency Commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government — then making recommendations for drastic reforms, which will save taxpayers trillions of dollars, further taming inflation and bringing prices down.
    PILLAR FIVE: Lowering Taxes
    President Trump will bring economic relief by making the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent — and will cut taxes even more by eliminating taxes on tips and seniors’ Social Security benefits.
    President Trump’s plan calls for expanded R&D tax credits, 100% bonus depreciation, expensing for new manufacturing investments, and lowering the business tax rate from 21% to 15% — solely for companies that make their products in America. If a company outsources, offshores, or replaces American workers, not only will they not be eligible for these benefits, they will also pay a tariff when their product comes in from another country.
    PILLAR SIX: Encouraging Domestic Production
    Under President Trump’s leadership, America will encourage domestic production instead of punishing it — and make America the manufacturing superpower of the world once again.
    President Trump will implement a pro-American trade policy that uses tariffs to encourage production here and bring trillions of dollars home. President Trump will ensure the U.S. has a steel industry, an aluminum industry, a manufacturing base, and a defense industrial base.
    PILLAR SEVEN: Affordable Housing
    President Trump will make housing much more affordable. As inflation is tamed, interest rates will fall dramatically — reducing mortgage rates back down to 3% and saving the average homebuyer thousands of dollars per year. President Trump will eliminate regulations that drive up housing costs, with the goal of cutting the cost of new home builds by HALF.
    President Trump will also open up portions of federal land for large-scale housing construction — ultra-low-tax and low-regulation zones — where millions of Americans will take part in settling these safe and beautiful communities.
    PILLAR EIGHT: Investing in National Endeavors
    As President Trump defeats inflation, makes America affordable again, and reignites explosive economic growth, he will create America’s own Sovereign Wealth fund to invest in great national endeavors for the benefit of all Americans.
    This fund will help build extraordinary national development projects — from highways to airports to the transportation infrastructure of the future — while investing in state-of-the-art manufacturing hubs, advanced defense capabilities, cutting-edge medical research, and modern agriculture techniques so we can have safe, healthy, high-quality foods for our families. https://joehoft.com/president-trump-outlines-his-plan-to-make-america-affordable-again/

    “The City of London”, that would be… Britain ‘Thinking Head of Western Hydra That Helps Zelensky Regime’ – Expert
    It’s safe to say that London is directly involved in hostilities against Moscow, military journalist, Alexey Borzenko, told Sputnik.
    He was commenting on Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s recent statement that the preliminary adjustment of the flight controllers (of the Ukrainian drones that attacked an oil storage facility in Russia’s Rostov region) was carried out in Salisbury and Newport, UK.
    “For Moscow, Britain is the most hostile NATO country because the UK is involved in all major projects to damage Russian infrastructure, and the civilian population and troops to the maximum,” Borzenko, who is also deputy chief editor of the Literary Russia newspaper, said. https://sputnikglobe.com/20240907/britain-thinking-head-of-western-hydra-that-helps-zelensky-regime–expert-1120065821.html

    Erdogan Calls For Greater Islamic Alliance To Combat Israeli ‘Expansionism’ [Dude doesn’t miss a beat.]
    On Saturday Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan issued a blistering speech at an Islamic schools’ association event near Istanbul once again condemning Israel. But this time he ratcheted the rhetoric as the remarks came a day after a Turkish-American woman was shot during a protest by Israeli troops in the West Bank.
    Erdogan essentially called for an Islamic uprising against the Jewish state, saying that a Muslim alliance of countries and populations is needed against what he called “the growing threat of expansionism” from Israel.
    “The only step that will stop Israeli arrogance, Israeli banditry, and Israeli state terrorism is the alliance of Islamic countries,” Erdogan said. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/erdogan-calls-greater-islamic-alliance-combat-israeli-expansionism

    IAA security guards returned fire at the terrorist, killing him.”
    The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) condemned the incident as a terror attack while Hamas issued a statement hailing the gunman as “one of Jordan’s brave men.”

    Gilbert Doctorow, Dumb as they come: Scholz and Pistorius on procurement of new missile defense systems
    For well over a year, we have known that Germany’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Annalena Baerbock is a disgrace to the government she serves. The lady is not smart enough to flip hamburgers at McDonalds let alone sit in the federal cabinet and make pronouncements bearing on war and peace. She will never live down her remark that Vladimir Putin must change his course by 360 degrees.
    However, I had always thought of Chancellor Olaf Scholz as a wily fox. Of course, I believed that he is an out and out coward, a sell-out to American interests at the expense of his own nation. His silence on the sabotage of the Nord Stream I pipeline was proof positive. But stupid?
    What he and his Defense Minister Boris Pistorius were saying these past two days on the sidelines of the Ramstein gathering of donors to the Ukrainian war effort leave little doubt that he is also a damned fool.
    I have in mind Scholz’s announcement that Germany will now budget for new procurement of air defense capabilities for itself and will join other European countries in their plans to build what might be called an iron dome, if we may borrow from the Israeli lexicon, to describe an impenetrable screen against incoming airborne attack.
    If such an announcement might have appeared to be patriotic and an investment in the security of his nation, say, a week ago, the events of the past week have trashed all such thoughts. Following the successful Russian missile attacks on Poltava, on Lviv, on Krivoy Rog and on several other towns in Ukraine where there were large concentrations of NATO officers, high level advisers and instructors, the notion that there is any defense whatsoever against Russian hypersonic missiles was disproved beyond any doubt.
    The Russians say that their attack on the communications institute in Poltava, which may have killed 200 and sent to hospital with grievous wounds another 500, was executed with a variant of the Iskander missile, which has a maximum speed of Mach 6.
    If we concede that Poltava may not have enjoyed very good protection from anti-missile defense, the situation was precisely the opposite in Lviv, which was protected by an American Patriot system plus additional systems manufactured in Germany, Italy and elsewhere within NATO. For this hardened target, the Russians used their Kinzhal missile which travels at Mach 10. If this were not enough, they also have the Avangard family of missiles which reach Mach 20. There is absolutely no known air defense which can protect against these missiles now in the Russian arsenal, and we may well assume that by the time the Germans will actually acquire and set up what they now are thinking of buying, the Russians will have still more advanced attack missiles that remain invincible.
    As for the long range nuclear armed missiles that the United States is planning to deliver to Germany in 2026 with the consent of Mr. Scholz, that only has the effect of painting a very big bulls-eye on his country. Moreover, it is a provocation that could prompt a preemptive strike from Russia…
    ..I close with a couple of further observations about what the Russians were doing this week. In Lviv, they not only killed numerous NATO personnel but destroyed a newly arrived train from Poland carrying a large amount of advanced weaponry for Ukraine. By choosing as targets installations in various cities where NATO officers are living, the Kremlin was delivering an unmistakable message to the Alliance, to its main decision maker, the United States, that it has the will and the wherewithal to take on NATO directly wherever and whenever it believes that its ‘red lines’ are being crossed. It may well be that even in Washington this message was received …and understood. To my knowledge, Zelensky’s bleating at Ramstein for permission to use long-range NATO supplied missiles to attack the Russian heartland fell on deaf ears. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2024/09/07/dumb-as-they-come-scholz-and-pistorius-on-procurement-of-new-missile-defense-systems/

    ​ A Midwestern Doctor, The Decades of Evidence SSRI Antidepressants Cause Mass Shootings​
    How Dangerous Must a Drug Be Before it is Pulled from the Market?
    ​ Story at a Glance:
    •SSRI antidepressants have a variety of horrendous side effects. These include sometimes causing the individual to become agitated, feeling they can’t be in their skin, turning psychotic, and occasionally becoming violently psychotic.
    ​ •During these psychoses, individuals can have out of body experiences where they commit lethal violence either to themselves or others.
    •As lawsuits later showed, this violent behavior (and the frequent suicides that followed it) were observed throughout the SSRI clinical trials, but were covered up by the SSRI manufacturers and then the drug regulators (e.g., the FDA).
    ​ •Once the SSRIs entered the market, there has been a wave of SSRI suicides and unspeakable acts of violence—which continue to this day.
    •Sadly, the idea that SSRIs could cause any of this has always been viewed as a “conspiracy theory” or “mistaking correlation with causation” because very few are aware of the extensive evidence linking SSRIs to violent and psychotic behavior—despite it now being on the warning label of those drugs.​ https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-evidence-ssri-antidepressants

    ​ The Silent Crisis: Understanding Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Its Impact on Our Health
    ​ As school children learn, mitochondria are the “power plants” of the cell. This rudimentary description of mitochondria is a good start, but it is incomplete. When healthy, these powerhouses also regulate many cellular functions, including growth and death. When they are stressed or dysfunctional, the consequences span cardiovascular disease, autism, schizophrenia, dementia, cancer, and much more.
    ​ For example, conditions like atherosclerosis (the build-up of dangerous plaques in the arteries), hypertension, and diabetes, have all been associated with inflammation coupled with mitochondrial dysfunction…​
    ..RFK Jr.’s call is for an overhaul of the food and pharmaceutical industries, and the agencies that regulate them. It appears from his endorsement of Trump that the former president may agree. One thing is for certain – the rise of mitochondrial dysfunction and related diseases is a doom spiral requiring radical individual and societal action. The modern food industry heavily relies on processed foods that are cheap to produce, have a long shelf life, and are addictive. They have been stripped of the nutrients that make them healthy, in favor of making them irresistible to promote overindulgence. Chronic illness is the consequence. Similarly, the pharmaceutical industry, and the captured agency that regulates it, rely on the progressive slide into chronic illness to sell more treatments that mask symptoms but do not treat the root causes. The perverse economic incentives are driving mitochondrial dysfunction.
    ​ There is no doubt that we all need to exercise more, and lower our exposure to stress, but to truly battle mitochondrial dysfunction and regain our health, we need to make food and medical decisions differently. As a nation, we need to demand leadership that will change the status quo, and, as RFK Jr. said, Make America Healthy Again.​ https://realclearwire.com/blog/2024/08/30/the_silent_crisis_understanding_mitochondrial_dysfunction_and_its_impact_on_our_health_1055281.html

    ​ Nuclear-powered cruise-missile can travel at least 15,000 miles, likely much more, enabling meandering attack approaches which are undefended. Russia is on the brink of commissioning the Skyfall nuclear missile
    ​ What sets the 9M730 Burevestnik apart is its nuclear-powered propulsion system. This unique feature grants it an unlimited range and the ability to undertake extended flights. Unlike traditional missiles that use conventional fuel, the Burevestnik’s nuclear propulsion allows it to fly at low altitudes and execute unpredictable maneuvers, making it exceptionally challenging to detect and intercept. This unique combination of features not only boosts its survivability against modern missile defense systems but also presents a significant strategic challenge to global security.​ https://bulgarianmilitary.com/2024/09/04/russia-is-on-the-brink-of-commissioning-the-skyfall-nuclear-missile/#google_vignette

    ​ Simplicius, The Grind Continues as Aftermath of Poltava Strikes Reverberates
    ​ Ukraine pulled some forces from Kursk and Ugledar—like the 72nd Brigade—to finally reinforce Pokrovsk. As such, Russia shifted a few units and this has had two immediate effects: the Pokrovsk direction slightly slowed down due to the influx of new Ukrainian reserves, while the Ugledar direction was conversely activated as Russian commanders pounced on the unit withdrawal to capture new territories like Preschistovka village to the west…
    ..Now let’s comment on the broader geopolitical matters.
    The reverberations from the massive Poltava strike continue echoing as more information leaks regarding the consequences.
    ​ For instance, many people doubted the Swedish connection, dismissing the “Swedish trainers/mercenaries killed” angle as just an exaggeration, despite the fact that the Swedish FM responsible for Sweden’s transition into NATO shockingly stepped down literally a day after…​
    ..Other ‘interesting’ news continued coming forth, such as a high-ranking US Army Lt. Colonel “died suddenly” in his apartment in ‘Poland’ on the very next day after the massive Russian strikes in Poltava and Lvov…
    ​..This comes in conjunction with reports that a swarm of NATO transport planes were recorded descending on Poland, presumably to evacuate the mass amounts of dead NATO representatives​:
    ​ The most obvious evidence of the effectiveness of the missile strike on Poltava was the swarm of NATO medical aircraft (USA, Germany, Poland, Romania).
    ​ They were evacuating both wounded instructors and the dead bodies. In cities like Berlin, police guarded convoys of ambulances rushed to hospitals by the evening. (Follower witness)
    ​ At the same time, the “legalization” of the dead NATO personnel began: US Army Lieutenant Colonel Joshua Kamara died suddenly in Poland.
    Ahead of us are many unexpected helicopter, yacht and private jet crashes or hiking incidents all over the world, with sudden passing NATO personnel.​..
    ​..Sputnik appeared to validate the high casualty count, citing a ‘high-ranking military source’:
    ​ “As a result of the strike, about 500 specialists were killed and wounded. Among the dead and wounded are servicepeople of the Ukrainian armed forces and the National Guard – communication specialists, operators of radio-electronic warfare systems, electronic intelligence, unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as foreign mercenaries from Poland, France, Germany and Sweden, who were training the Ukrainian military,” the source said.​..
    .. Now Lloyd Austin has given a rather shaky response to the repeated question of why Ukraine is allegedly not being given permission to strike deeper Russian targets.​..
    ​..The fact is, the US has secret red-line agreements with Russia and it would simply be too embarrassing for US establishment figures to admit this, as it would be a tremendous signal of weakness on the world stage to have to say: “Sorry, we simply cannot allow them to strike that deep into Russia, otherwise Russia has promised some very painful asymmetric responses to our own forces, efforts, interests worldwide that would prove impossible to counteract.”​… In many ways, this is perfectly understandable because for the US to even admit what those weaknesses are would be a major breach of national security, as it would allow other adversaries to know precisely where Russia is holding the US ‘by the balls’​…
    ​..Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has urged NATO countries to pressure Russia to agree to Kiev’s peace terms this fall. He made his statement during a meeting with US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin at the Ramstein Air Base in Germany. Regular gatherings at Ramstein are designed to coordinate military aid to Kiev.​..
    ​..Zelensky seems to have two choices: either continue the war, which forks into its own two possibilities: he gets violently overthrown by a coup, whether sponsored by the West or his own nationalist groups or society after his political mandate has run out, given that he’s now operating on illegal time, or he gets destroyed or captured by a prevailing Russia.
    ​ The other choice is to end the war: the problem here is that he’s now pretty unpopular in society and only maintains a grip on power via martial law which requires active hostilities. However, he may think that if he can fashion some grand peace agreement that can be sold as very favorable to Ukraine, he will be given a chance to survive politically. The only way to do that would be to end the war with some major concession to Ukraine, such as immediate invitation to NATO as a full-ranking member—but we all know this will never happen. He’s running out of options.​ https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/sitrep-9624-the-grind-continues-as

    ​ Andrew Korybko makes the case that Putin means it.​ Friends and Foes Alike Don’t Believe That Putin’s Endorsement of Kamala Is Sincere
    Putin prefers dealing with the “devils that he knows” than risking a repeat of Trump’s unpredictability.
    ​ Putin confirmed on Thursday during the Eastern Economic Forum’s plenary session that his previously stated support for Biden now extends to Kamala, yet friends like the famous dissident Kim Dotcom and foes like the BBC’s Russia Editor Steve Rosenberg don’t believe him. The first tweeted that it’s a “Grandmaster Chess” move on the Russian leader’s part while the second speculated that this is being done to discredit the Democrats. The reality though is that Putin is being sincere.
    It was explained earlier this year that “It’s Reasonable For Putin To Prefer Biden Over Trump” because
    “1) Biden has the support of the ‘deep state’s’ ruling liberal-globalists;
    2) this faction is expected to remain in power even if Trump wins; and
    3) they could carry out more anti-Russian provocations to discredit him in that case just like last time.”​ This insight still holds true and accounts for why he now supports Kamala since nothing has changed in the six months since he publicly backed Biden.​ https://www.globalresearch.ca/putin-endorsement-kamala/5867185

    How You Look At It https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/how-you-look-at-it

    Gaius Baltar, SCIENCE-FICTION GLOBALISM: HOLLYWOOD’S DESTRUCTION OF EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING
    If we had a plan to reformat society, this is what we would do. We would remove all obstacles, physical and mental. We would remove inspiration from the past by rebuilding actual cities to be ugly and dehumanizing. We would also remove mental obstacles, both moral and archetypal. Only then can a new structure be built. The people doing this have identified certain aspects of popular culture as both obstacles and opportunities, and decided two things: 1) To remove the most powerful of their archetypal forms and 2) replace them with something new.
    ​ This is the reason for the urgency to ‘deconstruct’ powerful archetypal characters from powerful movie franchises. The old versions are still there. Those people cannot, yet, remove them from existence – preventing people from watching them. Instead they must ‘go back in time’ and destroy the archetypal forms in them. In the new reinterpretations, such as the New Star Wars, the New Star Trek, and the New Lord of the Rings, the most powerful archetypal characters from the old versions are therefore being systematically destroyed.
    ​ Luke Skywalker is now a pathetic figure, and so are Han Solo and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Galadriel is no longer wise; she has become an intolerable idiot. The Jedi Order is no longer a powerful beacon of honor and justice; they are now both weak and evil. This goes on and on, all over the place. The demolition of these archetypal characters is both systematic and obvious.
    ​ The new productions then present us with a new archetypal landscape we are supposed to accept. The new archetypal characters have new way of doing things, they have new agendas, and new morality. Steadfastness, logic, bravery, wisdom, honor and justice have been replaced with emotional outbursts, random decisions, stupidity, deceit, and moral ‘ambiguity.’ Hard work and intelligence are no longer required and the new characters’ skills and knowledge just appear without effort.​..
    ..This is too systematic not to be done according to a plan. A company like Disney doesn’t abandon profit for no reason. This is not only a plan, but the people doing this are willing to lose a lot of money to accomplish their goals. This means that they see these goals as important – and they are right about that.
    ​ Is it working? Not really. The response in society to all this has been harsh, and is getting harsher. It has become so harsh that projects are now being shut down. It started with the Acolyte and perhaps Snow White will be next. So, why isn’t this working? There are two main reasons:
    ​ Firstly, there is the nature of the archetypes. For a significant majority of people, upside-down archetypes are simply not acceptable. Turning good into evil will not compute for them. The positive archetypes are already there – in our genes, and they are strong. It is doubtful that this majority can ever be conditioned to internalize upside-down archetypal forms. The majority of the human race is fundamentally decent and wants fairness and justice. I never thought I would say this, but there it is.
    ​ Secondly, the people available to execute this plan tend to be hacks with low self-awareness.​.. You can go through the list of the people involved in the new projects and what you’ll find is mostly the same type of people – incompetents who have never accomplished anything significant – and who can’t even answer questions or appear publicly without making fools of themselves. (The good news is that if Kamala Harris doesn’t become president, she would be a perfect showrunner for the next Star Wars project.)​…
    ​..A well-constructed fictional world gives the propagandists an opportunity to sell a whole ‘concept’ rather than just new archetypal characters. This particularly applies to worlds that represent a possible future, rather than ‘side worlds’ like in the Lord of the Rings. Science fiction is therefore a more suitable venue for programming because those worlds can be used to sell a particular type of future, or eventuality, for the human race.
    ​ There are two basic sales methods which we can call ‘seduction’ and ‘normalization.’
    ​ The seduction method involves presenting a glorious future where mankind has evolved to a higher state. Perhaps there is no violence anymore and everybody lives prosperously and happily. These worlds are bright and optimistic, and there is a lot of interesting stuff going on. The positive aspects, however, are a camouflage for some form of tyranny – usually through consolidation of power. This tyranny can be a world government, a society ruled by an AI, or a shadowy council, or some sort of code which forces us to be good to each other. The goal is to present this particular type of totalitarianism as a necessary step to achieve this golden future. Tyranny is essentially wrapped in kittens and rainbows (much like the EU is doing now and the West in general). The goal is to sell this totalitarian structure as both a necessary and inevitable step toward this golden future. You see, humanity will never progress like this unless we all come together. It’s a subtle and seductive way of selling tyranny.
    ​ The normalization method involves presenting a dark future where mankind has ‘gotten itself’ into a blind alley. These worlds are dark and depressing. There is suffering, shortages and hunger, oppression (for the common good), and perhaps rampant crime. Life is nasty, brutish and short for the common man and woman. The situation is our fault, usually because we polluted the air, consumed all the resources, released carbon into the air, or something along those lines. Now there’s just too many of us and there’s not enough for everybody. The goal is to normalize a dark future – to get people used to it before it actually happens – and to make sure we blame ourselves for it instead of the people who actually engineered it.​..
    ..However, there seems to be an ongoing trend where worlds are not only darker but certain behaviors are being normalized. This includes a total disrespect for human lives, random violence, manipulation of the population, and systematic experiments on the population. Many of these worlds have a new ‘overclass’ of people, who under normal circumstances wouldn’t be trusted to run a hot dog stand – but in these shows have almost magical properties…
    ..You should expect to be ruled by emotional and incompetent people who will subject you to random and nonsensical decisions, experiments, violence, constant contempt, and death. It seems that the real world is rapidly catching up with these programming operations.​ It is also interesting that the emphasis seems to have shifted from the seduction method to the normalization method…
    ​..Why did New Star Trek abandon the seduction method? There are many possible reasons. The seductive method requires subtlety, good screenwriting and good characters. Those properties require writing talent. Writing talent is incompatible with woke ideology, which means that the seduction method is generally outside the ‘approved’ modern screenwriter’s ability.
    ​ There were also strong archetypal characters in Star Trek who cannot be allowed and must be deconstructed. The original Star Trek had the archetype for the Leader (Captain Kirk) and Reason (Mr. Spock) and was full of ‘toxic masculinity.’ The later Star Trek also had strong archetypal characters, such as the Father (Picard), the Mother (Dr. Crusher), the Noble and Brave Knight (Commander Worf), as well as a multitude of characters symbolizing all kinds of archetypes, including Redemption. Star Trek therefore had to be reconfigured into a dark normalization world with upside-down archetypes.
    ​ All this, as stated earlier, cannot be a coincidence or ‘emerging properties’ of a ‘new culture.’ Entertainment companies do not decide to lose money for no reason. In fact, they are not losing money at all. They are investing it – in a new future for humanity. A dark future.​ https://gaiusbaltar.substack.com/p/science-fiction-globalism-hollywoods

    ​ Why vaccinate starving, immunosuppressed children in Gaza for Polio? UN Forced to Admit Gates-funded Vaccine Is Causing Polio Outbreak in Africa
    Health officials have now admitted that their plan to stop ‘wild’ polio is backfiring, as scores children are being paralyzed by a deadly strain of the pathogen derived from a live vaccine – causing a virulent wave of polio to spread.
    ​ This latest pharma-induced pandemic started out in the African countries of Chad and Sudan, with the culprit identified as vaccine-derived polio virus type 2.
    Officials now fear this new dangerous strain could soon ‘jump continents,’ causing further deadly outbreaks around the world.
    ​ Shocking as it sounds, this Big Pharma debacle is not new.

Also, in 2019, the government of Ethiopia ordered the destruction of 57,000 vials of type 2 oral polio vaccine (mOPV2) following a similar outbreak of vaccine-induced polio.​ The same incident has happened in India as well.​ https://www.globalresearch.ca/un-forced-admit-gates-funded-vaccine-causing-polio-outbreak-africa/5723137

    Quoth tboc, and I agree:
    “The back to the land crowd needs to understand if Blackrock style corporations fail there will be nothing civil about it. The idea that individual garden plots will feed a nation is a class based social antidepressant.”

    Fresh vegetables, bags of rice and dry beans do help people survive. You’ll need pure water, salt, Olive Oyl, and other “fixins”. I recommend canned tomatoes, soy sauce and curry, for instance.
    Fuel only goes so far. I hope the natural gas keeps flowing.

    “In Butler, there was what I would view as it wasn’t simply incompetence. There was actually active security stripping, which is very, very troubling because that’s not just a matter of people not doing their jobs properly. It’s a matter of an intent to expose him to potential assassination or assassination, and that is, that’s corruption that is so – I mean, it would be criminal, obviously, that level of corruption,” he continued. “So, major reforms need to happen with that agency, if not a total reckoning.”

    @Phoenixvoice: They are giving oral polio vaccine, a live-virus vaccine, which is the main cause of polio in the world, now. India has had a terrible time with this Gates product. From yesterday:

    Israel Wanted Disease and Genocide in Gaza, So Why Is It Agreeing to the Polio Vaccine Being Given?
    The vaccines may be seen by some as a minimal help to Palestinians in Gaza, preventing yet another disaster. And the minimal pauses resulting may be seen as baby steps toward permanent ceasefire, but this seems quite optimistic, especially given Israel’s posture. It is quite possible that the nOPV2 vaccine is largely being done for public relations reasons…
    ..Moreover, this is useful to distract from the failure of the UN to stop Israel’s carnage. Most especially the US-dominated UN Security Council has refused to implement orders from the International Court of Justice and virtually all states — with the notable exceptions of South Africa and Nicaragua — have failed in responsibilities under the Genocide Convention. The General Assembly has failed to take meaningful action using “Uniting for Peace”…
    ..Perhaps most ominously however, it may be problematic to give attenuated oral polio vaccine to a population that is immunocompromised — which most certainly includes the Palestinians in Gaza. They desperately need food and clean water and basic medical care. A host of diseases are ravaging Gaza and reportedly, 100,000 people in Gaza have contracted acute jaundice syndrome, or suspected hepatitis A. From Options for Poliomyelitis Vaccination in the United States: “Those in whom OPV is contraindicated include individuals with immunodeficiency disorders…The risk of VAPP [Vaccine-Associated Paralytic Poliomyelitis] in immunodeficient children is 3,000 times that in normal children.” https://www.globalresearch.ca/israel-wanted-disease-genocide-gaza-agreeing-polio-vaccine/5866944

    Reiner Fuelmich is a German attorney who was preparing criminal and civil cases against numerous national governments, which broke laws with vaccine mandates. He was renditioned from Mexico and stuck in a German maximum security prison, in solitary “pretrial detention”. His mom died in Germany last week. He was forbidden to see her.

    Many Stunning Moments In This One Clip, To Fill In Complex Reiner Story Which Is Really a Story About Germany’s Fall (And Ours) https://celiafarber.substack.com/p/the-story-tells-itself-through-claudia

    Celia Farber, Here Is The Dossier On The Fuellmich Case by Salatino and Terribilini: The Entire Story Simplified—Perfect For International Journalists Who Wish To Begin Reporting , Vera Sharav mentioned it yesterday
    Reiner Fuellmich, 66, has been a trial lawyer in Germany and California for about 30 years and has always defended consumers and small and medium-sized enterprises against large corporations.
    He has won major cases against Volkswagen (the diesel issue), Kühne und Nagel, and Deutsche Bank, for which Fuellmich himself worked, and which he defines as “one of the largest criminal organizations”.
    During the lockdowns in 2020, Fuellmich and his wife were in their ranch in California, but as the situation appeared to them to be quite strange, they decided to return to Germany to find out what was really going on.
    He soon recognized the COVID crimes against humanity and on July 10, together with three other lawyers, Viviane Fischer, Antonia Fischer (no relation) and Justus Hoffmann, he created the “CORONA INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEE” in Berlin, whose aim was to shed light on the actions of governments, institutions, the medical community, etc. in the context of the C-19 pandemic…
    ..His investigations led to the conclusions that the COVID “emergency” was never about public health, as there was no pandemic. If anything, one can speak of a “PCR test pandemic”.
    It was precisely thanks to these tests, which generated more than 95% false positives, that it was possible to inflate the number of COVID “cases”.
    According to Fuellmich, this was the fundamental point on which allegations of intentional wrongdoing by the governments of most nations worldwide could be based.
    Furthermore, all governments have acted and are acting against the interests of their citizens and are evidently under the control of the large, multinational corporations and NGOs that Fuellmich henceforth referred to as “Mr. Global”. https://celiafarber.substack.com/p/here-is-the-dossier-on-the-fuellmich

    ​ Wait, this saved the earth in the movie! NASA spacecraft collision may have created a meteor shower that will last for 100 years
    ​ Rocky debris blasted away from the tiny asteroid Dimorphos when NASA’s DART spacecraft intentionally slammed into it in 2022 could create the first human-made meteor shower known as the Dimorphids, new study has found.
    ​ The space agency planned the DART, or Double Asteroid Redirection Test, mission to carry out a full-scale assessment of asteroid deflection technology on behalf of planetary defense.
    ​ NASA wanted to see whether a kinetic impact — such as crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid at 13,645 miles per hour (6.1 kilometers per second) — would be enough to change the motion of a celestial object in space.
    ​ Neither Dimorphos or the large parent space rock it orbits, known as Didymos, pose a danger to Earth. Still, the double-asteroid system was a perfect target to test deflection technology because Dimorphos’ size is comparable to asteroids that could threaten our planet.
    ​ Astronomers have used ground-based telescopes to monitor the impact’s aftermath for nearly two years, and they determined that the DART spacecraft did successfully change the way Dimorphos moves, shifting the moonlet asteroid’s orbital period — or how long it takes to make a single revolution around Didymos — by about 32 to 33 minutes.
    ​ But scientists also estimated the intentional collision generated more than 2 million pounds (nearly 1 million kilograms) of rocks and dust — enough to fill about six or seven rail cars. Where exactly in space all of that material will end up has remained an open question.
    ​ Now, new research suggests fragments of Dimorphos will arrive in the vicinity of Earth and Mars within one to three decades, with the possibility that some debris could reach the red planet within seven years.
    ​ Small debris could also reach Earth’s atmosphere within the next 10 years. The Planetary Science Journal has accepted the study for publication.​ https://endtimeheadlines.org/2024/09/nasa-spacecraft-collision-may-have-created-a-meteor-shower-that-will-last-for-100-years/

    ..Japan’s findings are redefining our understanding of the global depopulation crisis and highlighting the urgent need to hold those responsible for crimes against humanity accountable…
    ..The sudden death surge in Japan coincides exactly with the immediate aftermath of the Covid mRNA vaccine roll out in December 2020 and the numbers are continuing to skyrocket year on year.
    Kazuhiro Haraguchi, the Minister of Internal Affairs, has formally apologized to the Japanese nation, declaring “You were right, vaccines are killing millions of our loved ones.”
    Japan understands that apologizes are not enough and the government and universities have ordered thousands of scientific researchers to investigate the vaccines from every possible angle.
    The Covid mRNA task force is determined to fully understand the “crimes against humanity” perpetrated during the Covid pandemic specifically related to the roll out of experimental mRNA vaccines.
    You won’t hear about this on mainstream media. In fact, mainstream media has been enlisted to do everything they can to cover up, suppress, and bury this news. Which is a crime in itself because groundbreaking revelations about the mRNA vaccines have been coming out of Japan in recent months.
    A new Japanese study published in the International Journal of Vaccine Theory Practice and Research proved that Pfizer and Moderna vaccines contain unauthorized “animated worm-like” entities, invisible to the human eye, that swim, wriggle, and assemble themselves into complex structures. https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/japan-warns-covid-vaccines-causing-global-population-collapse/

    John Helmer says Billionaire Pavel Durov is shady. PAVEL DUROV, PAUL DU ROVE – FREEDOM OF SPEECH TO PLAY FOOL, STOCK SPECULATOR, FRAUDSTER
    Naivety is not what Durov signed his name to in Telegram’s financial reports.
    They reveal he is running a debt pyramid, replenishing the annual deficit between his expenditures and his income with new borrowings whose cost of servicing amounted in 2023 to 46% of his revenues. The leaked papers also disclose that his losses last year came to $259.3 million, although Durov managed to reduce that to $173.2 million by claiming offsetting digital assets had jumped in value. To support such valuation manipulations and his public claims of Telegram’s $30 billion market value, the small print of the auditor’s notes reveal that Durov uses his own digital money to boost the appearance of rising Telegram subscription numbers and demand for the company’s bonds — 15,000 subs and $64 million in bonds, to be precise.
    As for protecting Telegram user privacy, Durov acknowledges that after subtracting $130 million in self-accounting “integrated wallet” value from his bottom-line revenue of $342.5 million, over the past year he sold “collectibles” for $17.8 million – almost 9%. This item is defined in the report as “usernames, virtual phone numbers…The related revenue is recognised at a point in time when the collectible is assigned to the user. The Group also enables the sale of collectibles between users and receives the fee for facilitating the sale.” https://johnhelmer.net/pavel-durov-paul-du-rove-freedom-of-speech-to-play-fool-stock-speculator-fraudster/#more-90299

    Steve Kirsch (Money is “speech”), Insight into what US House members are thinking about COVID vaccine injury
    You’ll find this really interesting and I don’t think you’ll be surprised.
    Insights from a vaccine-injured celebrity who went to Congress to advocate for the vaccine injured. He was able to get the meetings due to his celebrity status. Here’s what he learned.
    There is no appetite whatsoever to remove the liability protection for vaccines. Too many members are dependent on support from the drug companies.
    It’s unlikely they will be able to create a $15B fund for the vaccine injured. Only about 5% of the members/staff believe vaccine injured people exist and there is no budget for this. It has to be allocated using a special mechanism that is hard to access.
    There are only 6 members of Congress where the staff members have realized that the vaccine harms > non-existent benefits. There are 425 members of the House so that’s only 1.5% who have figured it out.
    All the rest believe the benefits far outweigh the risks, so they have no regrets about the COVID vaccination program.
    Those members of Congress who do acknowledge the harms privately are afraid to speak out publicly about them for fear of retribution from their colleagues and the mainstream media.
    Members of the Freedom Caucus are reluctant to speak out because they know that if they support a bill, the Democrats will vote against it on that basis alone.

    Former CIA Analyst, Larry Johnson, Persecution of Sputnik, RT Contributors Highlights US Hypocrisy – Ex-CIA Analyst
    The US frequently funds pro-Western media and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in foreign countries it targets for regime change to pave the way for a pro-US government to come to power.
    New sanctions were announced against 10 individuals and two organizations under the umbrella of the Rossiya Segodnya media group, including RIA Novosti, RT, Sputnik and Ruptly. The sanctions target these entities for alleged “hostile interference in the presidential elections,” the US Treasury Department claimed. The measures also target editor-in-chief of Rossiya Segodnya and RT Margarita Simonyan and several top managers at RT…
    ..“This year [the US has] allocated almost $4 billion to interfere or meddle in the political affairs of other countries,” he continued. “$315 million of that goes to the National Endowment for Democracy. $300 million is specifically what they call counter-Russian influence. And another $2.9 billion is for ‘democracy’ programs. And these have been used basically to run propaganda, to pay people, to organize ‘democracy’ programs in places like Georgia.”
    The US frequently funds pro-Western media and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in foreign countries it targets for regime change to pave the way for a pro-US government to come to power. Author and journalist William Blum documented over 50 examples of significant US interference in other countries since World War II in his classic book Killing Hope, largely based on the shocking revelations of ex-CIA agent Philip Agee…
    ..More recently the US has interfered in countries such as Brazil, Indonesia and Ukraine, paving the way for the latter country’s extremist anti-Russia government through its support for the Euromaidan coup in 2014.
    “I don’t know how many millions of dollars are allocated to the Central Intelligence Agency for additional covert actions designed to plant stories in media, to create electronic media, to influence social networks across the board,” Johnson continued. “It’s the United States that’s meddling. With respect to the entire bogus claim that Russia interfered in the 2016 election, we now know without a doubt that that was a Democrat operation led by Hillary Clinton and her team,” he added…
    ..Johnson said the recent persecution of figures connected to RT and Sputnik is merely another attempt to run the “Russiagate” playbook, attempting to discredit alternative media outlets that critique US foreign policy. “Electoral interference” continues to take place, Johnson claimed, but it is not the Russians but the US government that is engaged in an attempt to influence and control the popular narrative for its own benefit. https://sputnikglobe.com/20240905/persecution-of-sputnik-rt-contributors-highlights-us-hypocrisy–ex-cia-analyst-1120021228.html

    Biden to take ‘law enforcement action’ against RT – CNN
    The US president is expected to claim, yet again, that the Russian network is interfering in an American election
    Democrats like Biden have accused Russia of interfering in the last two presidential elections. During the 2016 and 2020 campaigns, US intelligence agencies repeatedly claimed that Moscow was deploying hackers and using “information warfare” to swing the vote in favor of Donald Trump. These allegations, coupled with claims that Trump had colluded with Moscow to win the election, formed the basis for a two-year investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, but were ultimately found to be baseless.
    In 2020, more than 50 “former intelligence officials” published a letter claiming that files on Hunter Biden’s laptop – which implicated the Biden family in multiple foreign corruption schemes – were fabricated by Russia. The laptop’s contents have since been proven genuine.
    Throughout the past decade, American officials have repeatedly accused RT of spreading “disinformation” – a term that these officials rarely define. Back in 2017, the Department of Justice forced RT America to register as a foreign agent, after a host of US intelligence agencies claimed that RT had helped to elect Trump by publishing “negative coverage” of Clinton and criticizing the US’ “corrupt political establishment.” https://swentr.site/news/603521-biden-rt-election-disinformation/

    US Justice Department reveals legal action against RT
    Two individuals identified as employees of the Russian network have been criminally charged and four more sanctioned
    In a press conference on Wednesday, US Attorney General Merrick Garland said that the allegations against Kalashnikov and Afanasyeva, as well as a separate Russian scheme to allegedly spread anti-Ukraine content online, “make clear the ends to which the Russian government, including at its highest levels, is willing to go to undermine our democratic process.”
    Simonyan ridiculed US officials for claiming – for the third election in a row – that RT is attempting to interfere in American politics. “If they kick us out completely, how will they conduct the next elections?” she wrote in a follow-up post on Telegram. “They don’t have any other strategies except to scaremonger about the almighty RT.” https://swentr.site/news/603531-us-targets-rt-elections/

    “That Has To Stop”: Harris Denounces Unfettered Free Speech in 2019 CNN Interview, Jonathan Turley
    The Biden-Harris Administration has proven to be the most anti-free speech administration since John Adams. That includes a massive censorship system described by one federal judge as perfectly “Orwellian.”
    In the CNN interview, Harris displays many of the anti-free speech inclinations discussed earlier. She strongly suggests that X should be shut down if it does not yield to demands for speech regulation.
    What is most chilling is how censorship and closure are Harris’s default positions when faced with unfettered speech. She declares to CNN that such unregulated free speech “has to stop” and that there is a danger to the country when people are allowed to “directly speak[] to millions and millions of people without any level of oversight and regulation.”
    Harris discussed her view that then-President Trump’s Twitter account should be shut down because the public had to be protected from harmful viewpoints. https://jonathanturley.org/2024/09/04/that-has-to-stop-harris-denounces-unfettered-free-speech-in-2019-cnn-interview/#more-223156

    Fake news now at peak as Kamala faces CNN “interview”, Martin Jay
    Harris is seen as the most suitable candidate to further the causes of America’s military industrial complex whose six main companies cannot slow production down.
    Wherever you look, it feels like we are being bombarded now with an unprecedented level of fake news. One reason may well be how the installed governments by western elites – military industrial complex and banking – are getting very skittish indeed about a shake up of world order in November when the airhead Kamala Harris takes on Donald Trump in the presidential elections. This new trend of installing a useful idiot into power has been around for decades across Africa and Asia where the U.S. and before that the UK installed their own despots to serve their own needs, so we shouldn’t be so shocked by someone like Harris having the landscape prepared for her.
    To call Harris a ‘lightweight’ is understating her political verve. She has none of the conventional talents that politicians require like public speaking, or engaging with media, let alone having any ideas of her own which might make it one day to policy. For most Americans the choice in November is between Harris, who is essentially Biden 2.0 or Trump. Not exactly a tough call many might say since RFK endorsed Trump who traditionally he has not been a fan of; it’s as though he’s saying to Americans, “anything but Kamala. Do the maths”.
    Media is of course playing a huge and certainly tawdry role in pushing her which is not generally noted by most Americans…
    ..Harris is seen as the most suitable candidate to further the causes of America’s military industrial complex whose six main companies cannot slow production down, unless they make job layoffs. The insatiable hunger of this machine is responsible for the lion’s share of U.S. foreign policy and Biden gave his cronies their one hundred Christmas’s when he created the Ukraine war and more recently Gaza. In Gaza the false reporting from western media is as repulsive as the images of children who have lost their entire brains and whose heads look like theatrical floppy props, which has become the day to day norm now when Israel bombs schools. Does anyone in the west in either camp still believe this is a “war” against Hamas fighters? With the recent invasion of West Bank and the rise of settlers stealing land there, surely the real story of Netanyahu’s campaign is there for all to see in plain light: ethnic cleansing on a grand scale to wipe Palestinians off the face of Israel. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/09/04/fake-news-now-at-peak-as-kamala-faces-cnn-interview/

    PCR heard about the military preparations for Trump’s September 18 sentencing in NYC: Tyranny Is Closer Than You Realize, Paul Craig Roberts
    It is strange that there is no discussion of it, but in two weeks and one day on September 18 Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for president in the November election in two months, is scheduled by a corrupt Democrat “judge” to be sentenced for 34 felony counts pulled out of thin air by a corrupt Democrat prosecutor for how Trump’s accountants reported an expense… In fact, there is only one charge. But the corrupt Democrat prosecutor wrote it up 34 different times in order to create an appearance of large scale crime…
    ..What is the Democrat judge going to do on September 18? I can’t say that I know. If common sense were involved, the Democrat judge would have set the sentencing date after the election, or he would issue a suspended sentence. But common sense is not part of the script.
    According to the scuttlebutt, the Democrat Justice (sic) Department has decided on a one year prison sentence. According to the scuttlebutt the Democrat Justice (sic) Department has been working it out with Rikers prison a way of accommodating Trump’s Secret Service protection that is required by federal law for former presidents 24/7. Whether the Secret Service will do any better job of protecting Trump in prison than they did at his Pennsylvania rally is the open question.
    The puzzling aspect of the September 18 sentencing is why bother? All of the theft mechanisms used in the swing states to deny Trump his 2020 victory have been legalized. In the swing states it is now legal to steal the election, so why bother sentencing Trump?
    Is it chaos that the elite want? Are the tyrannical elite hoping that Trump’s imprisonment will cause people to pour into the streets, thus permitting the Democrat regime to declare an insurrection and arrest all Republican members of Congress, all Republican governors, and all Republican state legislatures? Will torture uncover a plot and lead to the arrest and detention of all white conservatives and registered Republican voters in detention camps that already exist, allegedly for hurricane victims? https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2024/09/03/tyranny-is-closer-than-you-realize/

    Simplicius, Massive Iskander Attack Sends Rats Scurrying
    It’s been an eventful past day, as major Russian attacks galvanized panic-headlines and seemed to catalyze a sudden Ukrainian government purge or mass exodus:
    All the people who resigned in Ukraine in recent days:
    Head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba; Minister of Justice Denis Maliuska; Minister for Strategic Industries Alexander Kamyshin; Minister of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources Ruslan Strelets; Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Olga Stefanishyna; Deputy Prime Minister – Minister for Reintegration of Uncontrolled Territories of Ukraine Iryna Vereshchuk; Deputy head of Zelensky’s office Rostislav Shurma….
    ..The timing seems odd and obviously paints a portrait of a mass exodus of rats fleeing the now-obviously sinking ship.
    ..The strike on the 179th training center of the Signal Troops military institute in Poltava—officially called the Poltava Institute of Military Communications—was particularly grievous for Ukraine because it appeared to house not only a vital drone-technical program, but valuable Swedish instructors for the upcoming transfer of Swedish AWACS planes, billed as more future ‘game changers’ that would work in tandem with the F-16s to decimate the Russian airforce from afar…
    ..Ukrainian medic in Poltava claimed that the losses from the strike on the military training center is closer to 215 killed and 340 injured. The video has since been deleted but she is a medic of the AFU…
    ..But this may have been at the start, before the majority of the bodies were pulled, because subsequent reports spoke of even more cataclysmic numbers. A local Ukrainian blogger gave the tally as over 700 dead alone…
    ..Such staggering losses are hard to believe, but apparently it was a Kinzhal or Iskander “double tap”. Granted, the losses appear obscenely high, but recall there’s not one Russian source there: who am I to argue with Ukrainian sources directly from the ground? …
    ..The NYT article remarks specifically on the missiles’ speed being such that they struck almost at the same time as the first warning sirens, which could not come on fast enough to give people time to escape… This is the true ‘game-changing’ property of hypersonic missiles like the Iskander and Kinzhal. Though they may not be hypersonic at final terminal descent—the jury’s still out on the Kinzhal in that regard—their hypersonic traversal of the airspace prior to that still allows them to arrive on target extremely rapidly without giving time for defensive maneuvers…
    ..In fact, Russia has been utilizing Iskanders an extreme amount lately, which ties with the report from last time that Iskanders have been brought down to the brigade level, and now brigade commanders can order their own direct strikes without going up to divisional HQ or higher…
    ..By the way, many poked fun at Sweden receiving such a big blow in Poltava, the predestined town where the previous Swedish Empire had seen its demise.
    Now only a day after the Poltava strikes reportedly wrecked the entire Swedish-Ukraine program, Sweden’s FM mysteriously resigns:
    (Reuters) – Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billstrom said on Wednesday he will step down next week after almost two years in office, during which his traditionally non-aligned country joined NATO. “It is with a mixture of sadness and pride that I have today informed the prime minister that I will leave the post of foreign minister at the opening of parliament next week,” Billstrom, a member of the conservative Moderate Party, said in a post on X…
    ..What is going on here?
    Last week saw “the largest-scale Russian strikes of the entire war”, followed by a few other high-profile ballistic attacks on sensitive Ukrainian targets with high casualties. Now, we see a mass exodus of the entire Ukrainian government and this. It’s tempting to jump to conclusions about causalities, but the connection seems too obvious to make. It feels like internally the rolling of heads has begun. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/massive-iskander-attack-sends-rats

    Rothschild helped Ukraine clinch debt restructuring – Reuters [Wait, that’s 25% of the bondholders, not 100%. “Take it or leave it” for the rest?]
    Kiev’s financial adviser arranged face-to-face meetings with bondholders in July 2022 after initial talks failed, according to a report
    Kiev announced last week that it had reached an agreement with a group of foreign investors to restructure its $20 billion debt. Bondholders – including US financial giants BlackRock and Pimco, as well as French asset manager Amundi – granted Ukraine a two-year debt freeze in February 2022 when the conflict with Russia broke out.
    The bondholders’ committee, which represents the holders of 25% of the bonds, has agreed to accept losses of 37%, or $8.7 billion, on the nominal value of their debt.
    The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has reportedly confirmed that the deal was compatible with the parameters of its $122 billion aid package to Kiev. Both the IMF and the country’s creditors, which include the US and the Paris Club, have signed off on it. https://swentr.site/business/603470-ukraine-rothschild-debt-restructuring/

    Withhold funds you don’t have. Blame Hungary. EU warns Hungary to pay €200 million EU court fine or have its funding cut
    The European Court of Justice fined Hungary in June for not complying with migrant handling rules
    The European Commission has announced that if Hungary does not pay the €200 million fine for stopping migration, it will deduct the amount from its frozen EU funds. In parallel with Brussels’ announcement, the European Court of Auditors is pressing for part of the blocked amount to be used to pay the fine.
    The European Commission has again ordered Hungary to pay the €200 million fine imposed by the European Court of Justice by Sept. 17 at the latest; it must also pay €1 million a day as long as Hungary delays the implementation of EU rules.
    Now, Brussels has announced that if Hungary does not pay, it will launch a so-called “set-off” procedure, deducting the amount from the EU funds due to Hungary, which have been frozen until now. https://rmx.news/european-union/eu-warns-hungary-to-pay-e200-million-eu-court-fine-or-have-its-funding-cut/

    ‘Global competition’ sparks EU defense policy overhaul “When you ain’t got nothing, you got nothing to lose. You’re invisible now, you’ve got no secrets to conceal.”
    The European Parliament is set to hold closed-door, high-level discussions on Wednesday in relation to a new report on the competitiveness of the EU defense industry, Politico has reported.
    The document, prepared by former Italian prime minister Mario Draghi, reportedly calls on the bloc to rethink its defense policy in light of the Ukraine conflict and the purported threat from Russia.
    “The EU’s defense industrial base is facing structural challenges in terms of capacity, know-how and technological edge. As a result, the EU is not keeping pace with its global competitors,” a draft of the document reads, Politico reported on Monday. https://swentr.site/news/603506-eu-defense-competitiveness-report/

    Adrenochrome Taskforce Rescues Hundreds of Kids Trafficked by Marina Abramovic
    Russian special forces have rescued hundreds of enslaved children from a factory farm in the Ukrainian Carpathian mountains, as President Putin’s campaign against the global adrenochrome industry intensifies. According to Russian sources involved in the raid, the bust that liberated hundreds of children was made possible by the infiltration of an adrenochrome party organized by Marina Abramovic and attended by elites in Paris, France.
    Ukraine is the global capital of the child sex trade and investigators warn it is home to a network of adrenochrome factories.
    Many children are born into the factory farm system, bred for slavery, without birth certificates or ID. These children never know what it is like to live a life without terror.
    However, the adrenochrome industry is growing so fast it requires a constantly growing supply of children to satisfy the urges of the elite pedophiles and addicts.
    This is why the streets of towns and cities across Ukraine are lined with missing children posters.
    Russian President Putin formed an elite adrenochrome task forced earlier this year, explaining that Zelensky’s Kiev regime has been earning hundreds of millions of dollars per year by keeping children in degrading factory farm conditions and selling them to the highest bidder on the international market – no questions asked.
    According to those on the ground in Ukraine, these children are sold as sex slaves to elite pedophiles and those who don’t find buyers are “carved up like discarded waste,” and their organs are harvested and sold for use at European and Israeli transplant centers.
    Last year Zelensky appointed Satanic witch Marina Abramovic to serve as ambassador to Ukraine and help rebuild the country’s schools for children. The so-called “performance artist” is infamous for being part of the Wikileaks document dump that revealed she sent an email to Hillary Clinton, John Podesta and his brother Tony inviting them to a “Spirit Cooking dinner,” which is an occult ritual made famous by the notorious Satanist Aleister Crowley. https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/adrenochrome-taskforce-rescues-hundreds-of-kids-trafficked-by-marina-abramovic/

    Russia has now issued a DIRECT warning to the United States and to NATO “If Western weapons are used to strike deep inside Russia, the consequences will affect both sides of the Atlantic.” The direct warning was HAND DELIVERED by Diplomatic Courier, to the White House.
    This comes after Ukraine began using west-supplied weapons to attack targets slightly over 1,000km into interior Russia, and after U.S. said THIS WEEK “we are near to an agreement to provide Ukraine with long-range cruise missiles capable of reaching deep into Russian territory.”
    Russian ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Antonov, HAS NOW ALSO STATED PUBLICLY: “If Western weapons are used deep inside Russia, the consequences will affect both sides of the Atlantic.” https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news-selections/world-news/bulletin-russia-issues-direct-warning-to-u-s

    Ukraine Threatens Mongolia With ‘Consequences’ For Not Arresting Putin
    Putin’s visit to Mongolia is his first to a member state of the ICC since the court issued a warrant for his arrest in March 2023.
    RT reports: The warrant obliges the court’s 124-member states to detain Putin for extradition should he set foot on their soil, but Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said before the trip that Moscow “has no concerns” that “our friends from Mongolia” would act on the court order. https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/ukraine-threatens-mongolia-with-consequences-for-not-arresting-putin/

    The Russian Armed Forces destroyed a group of instructors from Sweden in Poltava who were training the Ukrainian Armed Forces to operate Saab 340 AEWCS AWACS aircraft
    On the morning of September 3, the Russian Armed Forces launched a missile attack on Poltava. At least two powerful explosions were recorded on the territory of the 179th training center of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ signal troops (military unit A3990) on Zinkivska Street.
    According to available information, in addition to Ukrainian servicemen, several military specialists (instructors) from Sweden, who were training representatives of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to operate Saab 340 AEWCS (ASC 890) AWACS aircraft, were killed as a result of the fire.
    Before that, the Swedish authorities had announced that they were going to supply Kyiv with a couple of the aforementioned long-range radar detection aircraft. Therefore, Stockholm could have gotten busy and sent its military specialists to Ukrainian territory in advance so that they could train Ukrainian crews and technical personnel in conditions as close to combat as possible. Now the Swedes will have to weigh the risks.
    It is worth noting that this attack by the Russian Armed Forces was aimed at destroying the enemy’s military infrastructure and neutralizing trained or training personnel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. But this case became especially noticeable and resonant not only due to the large losses (officially over 50 were killed, and about 220 were wounded) among the enemy personnel, but also due to the presence of groups of foreigners there.
    The destruction of the instructors will undoubtedly affect the integration of the said aircraft with the Ukrainian Armed Forces. We cannot judge how much the relations between Stockholm and Kiev will become more complicated, but the Scandinavians’ zeal should diminish. What happened will definitely have a negative impact on the plans of the Ukrainian command, since the introduction of AWACS aircraft was supposed to facilitate the combat operation of F-16 fighters. https://en.topcor.ru/51199-vs-rf-unichtozhili-v-poltave-gruppu-instruktorov-iz-shvecii-obuchavshih-vsu-rabote-s-samoletami-drlo-saab-340-aewcs.html

    ‘Foreign Instructors’ Targeted In Mass Casualty Strike On Ukraine Military Academy: Russia
    Earlier we detailed Tuesday’s Russian attack on a Ukrainian military academy in the central part of the country, which resulted in 51 people killed and over 271 wounded in what was the single deadliest attack on a gathering of Ukrainian cadets of the two-and-a-half-year long war.
    On Wednesday Russia’s Defense Ministry offered an unexpected explanation, saying that its forces were targeting not only Ukrainian soldiers but their foreign instructors who were leading classes at the Poltava Institute of Military Communications, which was left utterly destroyed. ..
    ..It said that the institute was “under the guidance of foreign instructors” and so they were targeted for elimination.
    Ukraine’s defense ministry had confirmed that at the time of the large-scale daytime Iskander missile attack classes and teaching was underway at the military academy. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/foreign-instructors-targeted-mass-casualty-strike-ukraine-military-academy-russia
