‘We gave birth with phone lights’: Doctor documents experience at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza
Fadia Malhis detailed to Anadolu the difficulties she faced while working at the Al-Shifa Hospital in the Gaza Strip, which was targeted by sieges, raids and attacks by the Israeli army.
Malhis, who returned home after studying in Turkiye, worked as an obstetrician-gynaecologist at the Al-Shifa Hospital for nearly 25 years, but had to go to make a desperate escape to Egypt when the hospital was rendered unusable. From Egypt, she went to Turkiye, Anadolu Agency reports.
She said she came back from the brink of death many times and that she could not hold back tears when she left Gaza.
She moved from the West Bank, where she is from, to work at the hospital in the coastal enclave since 2001 because her husband is from Gaza.

Thanks for running a lap with this baton, Dr. D:
“This sun change is running Climate Change on Venus, Mars, Neptune observed. Must be all the cars up there! It’s magnetic/energy component is altering all the planets including Saturn and Jupiter, giants, without rock forms, observed. Mars may actually be re-kick-starting its magnetic field and becoming a live planet again, arguable, but observed.
Now does any of this tell you why the Globalists want to kill off most of humanity to have food enough, build impossibly expensive underground systems, don’t care about the economy, the law, or anything, put up arctic seed islands, and also want some humans on Mars as a backup? Can you see their point of view now?
So what happens when someone arrives, junior Congressman, comes in with best intentions of getting $1 increase in wages and better tips in Brooklyn, then they read her this report, probably show her the Sesame Street movie cartoon version, and suddenly AOC’s whole outlook changes? She starts voting all completely differently? She maybe wants to have a seat in that bunker?”

Steve Kirsch, COVID vax: Some batches increase your all-cause mortality by 9X or more.

They are “safe and effective” even when they aren’t. https://kirschsubstack.com/p/covid-vax-some-batches-increase-your The main topic is the globalist moves to checkmate all humans into a digital cyborg slave economy, where those who do not comply as told will starve and be shut out of the economy for starters. Complete control of food supply and access is critical to that. Local food and home gardens, as well as independent farmers are being eliminated through regulations and monopolistic business practices, further concentrating wealth and power.

Tulsi Gabbard Destroys Cheney Endorsement: “A Vote For Kamala Harris Is A Vote For Dick Cheney” (Cheney ran the show on 9/11/01, as you’ll recall.)
83-year old former Vice President Cheney, who oversaw with GW Bush the invasion of Iraq and overthrow of Saddam Hussein, said in his Saturday statement: “In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump.”…
..”I have a very simple message for my Democrat friends, my independent friends, and those who may not be sure about who they’re voting for in this election. Dick Cheney has just made the choice very clear”… “A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for Dick Cheney, the architect of everything that has gone wrong in the Middle East for the last few decades,” Gabbard emphasized. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/tulsi-gabbard-destroys-neocons-endorsement-vote-kamala-harris-vote-dick-cheney Meryl Nass MD, regarding the Friday/Saturday symposium this past weekend: Quarterbacking the Food and Farmer symposium
As you know, Door to Freedom and Children’s Health Defense put on a 2-day, 17-hour symposium last Friday and Saturday, titled, “The Attack on Food and Farmers, and How to Fight Back.” Everyone said the speakers and content were excellent. https://merylnass.substack.com/p/quarterbacking-the-food-and-farmer There were 40 talks in all, and then a wrap-up with former Assistant Secretary of HUD Catherine Austin Fitts, attorney and farmer John Klar and myself

In Defence of Judy Wood, Contrary to the “nanothermite” hypothesis of the “Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth,” the Twin Towers were evidently destroyed at low temperatures, revealing the reality of “Cold Fusion” https://dhughes.substack.com/p/in-defence-of-judy-wood-0ceGilbert Doctorow, ‘Dialogue Works’: edition of 11 September
Viewers will find that this is an expanded discussion of my article yesterday about the insanely reckless U.S. decision to grant Kiev permission to use NATO missiles and other long range weapons to strike the Russian heartland, a policy which will likely be announced during the visit of British prime minister Starmer to the White House on Friday…
..In his capacity as lapdog,(UK “new labour” PM Tony) Blair provided respectability for President George Bush, Jr. to proceed with the invasion of Iraq without the consent of the UN Security Council and over the objections of France, Germany and Belgium. Starmer is more proactive and indeed has moved out in front of the United States in willingness to supply Ukraine with his country’s most advanced lethal weapons systems with no restrictions on their use and to guide Ukrainian terror attacks on Russia. Other NATO countries have not objected but Germany and France are not following suit to avoid being identified by Russia as co-belligerents.
Russia has many different possible ways to respond to the attacks on its heartland but all those which are most appropriate in terms of severity, such as missile strikes against airbases in NATO countries which are being used to send F-16s aloft to attack Russia from Ukrainian air space or attacks on marshaling yards in Poland and Romania from which NATO weapons are dispatched to Kiev, are likely to provide Washington with the excuse it is seeking to perform a first, preemptive nuclear strike on Russia or to do something else that unleashes WWIII. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2024/09/11/dialogue-works-edition-of-11-september/Gilbert Doctorow, The insane recklessness of Collective Biden*
*Collective Biden is the term which Russian talk show hosts have applied to the US leadership given that the presidency assumed a collective form when the physical Joe Biden slipped into deep senility this past couple of years.
I cannot say how close we are to midnight on the nuclear war watch. But a Third World War fought at least initially with conventional weapons is now just days, at most weeks away…
..Peers have highlighted the destruction of Ukraine’s best present and future cadres in electronic warfare by Russia’s missile strike this past week on the military communications institute in Poltava which is today said to have killed 700 Ukrainian and NATO personnel.
However, this seeming turning point in Russia’s favor is, as we speak, setting the stage for one further absolutely desperate and reckless act by the Biden administration to deprive Russia of its well earned victory by escalating the conflict to a world war.
What I have in mind is the near certainty that the United States and Britain have just agreed to give the Zelensky regime permission to use the long-range missiles which have been delivered to Ukraine, certainly including Storm Shadow and likely also the 1500 km range stealth missile known as JASSM to strike deep into the Russian heartland, and so ‘to bring the war to Russia’ as the Zelensky gang put it.
That is the sense of the trip this week by Secretary of State Blinken to Kiev and of the visit to the White House on Friday by British Prime Minister Starmer. https://gilbertdoctorow.substack.com/p/the-insane-recklessness-of-collective Simplicius, European Antinomy Squeezes Zelensky from Both Sides as Kursk Front Crumbles
According to recent reports, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is working on a peace plan to bring Russia to the negotiating table. The plan allegedly involves Ukraine accepting territorial concessions, which could potentially lead to a ceasefire and a resolution to the ongoing conflict.
Scholz’s initiative comes as a response to the devastating electoral results in Turingia and Sassonia, and the looming threat of a potential defeat in the upcoming Brandenburg election. The Chancellor is seeking to reposition himself as a “peacemaker” and secure a lasting legacy...
..Ukrainian political scientist Ruslan Bortnik believes Zelensky came up with a new plan to end the war, Zelensky calls it ”victory plan” which he wants to present to Biden, Harris and Trump for approval this month.
1. Zelensky wants the US to allow long-range strikes into Russia with foreign missiles to destroy all military bases, airfields, ammunition and fuel depots within the European part of Russia.
2. The West (US/NATO) must protect Western Ukraine with Polish and Romanian air defense systems from Russian retaliation strikes so Ukraine could transfer own air defense systems closer to the battlefield.
3. The West must guarantee to be prepared to get more involved by sending ground troops to certain parts of Ukraine to free up Ukraine’s manpower which could be sent to the front lines. Zelensky believes after this campaign Russia would be forced to retreat, at some point Putin’s leadership would be destabilized and replaced, with the new leadership signing a peace deal...
..The victory plan is as realistic as Zelensky’s previous 10-point peace formula according to which Russia should withdraw troops and pay reparations...
..The more eye-opening admission pertains to the utterly widespread nature of desertion in the AFU’s ranks:
CNN spoke to six commanders and officers who are or were until recently fighting or supervising units in the area. All six said desertion and insubordination are becoming a widespread problem, especially among newly recruited soldiers.
“Not all mobilized soldiers are leaving their positions, but the majority are. When new guys come here, they see how difficult it is. They see a lot of enemy drones, artillery and mortars,” one unit commander currently fighting in Pokrovsk told CNN. He also asked to remain anonymous.
The majority of mobilized soldiers are leaving their positions? Mobilized are now the majority of the entire armed forces, so that can’t be a good sign...
..“During the war, Pokrovsk has become the administrative, political and logistical centre of the Donetsk region. Whoever controls Pokrovsk also controls the roads to the north and south,” said Major Serhiy Tsehotsky, the press officer for Ukraine’s 59th Motorized Brigade…
..This illustrates just how important Pokrovsk is to the region logistically and strategically, given its nature as a railway hub that feeds the entire region’s grouping.
Which segues us into the battlefield developments. I’ll leave larger updates for next time, as this Sitrep has enough geopolitical content to cover. But needless to say the Ukrainian front continues to collapse all over the place. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/sitrep-91024-european-antinomy-squeezes No, Israel does not have a right to defend itself in Gaza. But the Palestinians do.
Basic morality and simple logic dictate that the right of self-defense belongs to the Palestinian people, not to their oppressor. And international law agrees. https://mondoweiss.net/2024/09/no-israel-does-not-have-a-right-to-defend-itself-in-gaza-but-the-palestinians-do/9/11 Is Not Over https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/911-is-not-over
We are not forgetting 9/11, as we still remember November 22, 1963, when John Kennedy was assassinated. We know we were lied to by the US government both times, but we still don’t have the complete story of either state-crime.
We may assume that the same Cabal that tasked George HW Bush to the grassy-knoll in Dallas that day launched the “global war on terror” with the Twin Tower collapses into pyroclastic dust clouds when the steel girders all disappeared in an instant, but how did they do it?
A lot of people died-funny in late 1963 and the next couple of years, more than 50, I read, but the technology brought into play on 9/11/01 is still onion-layers of mystery.
We had the COVID-pandemic that got about 70% of the adults of developed countries, and a lot of the children, injected with mystery Russian-roulette cocktails of death and disability, with a push for global digital “vaccine passport” IDs, with integral digital-banking features, as well as a one-world pandemic emergency government treaty, which has been interdicted, but is not yet dead, just hibernating in committees.
Without belaboring the point, we are the herd that the elite “owners” see the need to tightly manage and seriously cull, for best profitability as times get leaner.
There are other possible ways to manage our planetary ecosystems than the “Apex Predator” model, killing a bunch of the human herd when it seems appropriate to the Elite apex-predators.

Professor Anthony Hall, The Continuing Lies and Crimes of 9/11 If You Don’t Know You Are Still Being Lied To, You Must Not Be Paying Attention.
On September 7 of 2008, I delivered my first public presentation on 9/11, an event that had happened 7 years earlier. I had been invited to share a podium with Dr. Kevin Barrett, a witty and erudite Muslim convert with whom I would collaborate often in the years ahead. Kevin had lost his academic job in 2006 at the University of Wisconsin. He was sacked from the faculty for incorporating into his curriculum material branded as heresy…
When I mounted the stage of the Stanley Milner Public Library in downtown Edmonton Alberta, the copy ink still smelled fresh on the xeroxed manuscript I was carrying in my hand. My presentation was entitled, “The Lies and Crimes of 9/11.”
The following day that text was published by the University of Ottawa Economist, Michel Chossudovsky. Michel remains to this day at the helm of Global Research.ca where my 2008 essay remains the first article archived on my author’s page. https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-lies-and-crimes-of-911/10117 …
..The old imagery of imperialism as civilization’s conquest over savagery, deeply permeated many symbolic aspects of the US-led Global War on Terror. This supposed War on Terror was used to explain many US invasions of Muslim-majority countries. In retrospect we can now clearly see that these invasions were meant primarily to serve Likudnik Israel’s— Greater Israel’s— expansionary agenda in the Middle East.
The people who attended the Edmonton event to hear Kevin and I speak were in my view quite distinctive. There was almost a full auditorium holding about 300 people. Each one of them had paid $15 to be there. That is the one and only time I ever held forth at a presentation where average people paid to see me hold forth…
..As I see it, the 9/11 skeptics have won the argument many times over. They have repeatedly proven that beyond a shadow of a doubt, the official narrative of September 11, 2001, is not supported by the existing evidence in the public domain. The 11 books by Prof. David Ray Griffen have been integral to a very large body of literature as well as of many hundreds of Internet documentaries devoted to showing the gross problems with the mainstream interpretation.
All that work, however, ran into a heavy wall of media and government stonewalling to protect the major vested interests that had much to lose if the bin Laden/al-Qaeda fairytale would have been dislodged to explain the identity and motivations of those really behind the events of 9/11. https://anthonyjhall.substack.com/p/the-continuing-lies-and-crimes-of@jb-hb: Link please.

‘Operation al-Aqsa Flood’ Day 339: Israel winds down West Bank operation, continues blockade

“Relatively late in the game the Ukrainians began asking for advice on where this thing was going and it became clear to us, clear to the Brits, clear to others that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s main condition was buried in an annex to this document that they were working on,” she said of the deal being discussed by the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Türkiye’s largest city.
The proposed agreement included limits on the kinds of weapons that Kiev could possess, as a result of which Ukraine “would basically be neutered as a military force,” while there were no similar constraints on Russia, the former diplomat explained.
“People inside Ukraine and people outside Ukraine started asking questions about whether this was a good deal and it was at that point that it fell apart,” Nuland said.
The veteran diplomatic hawk, who during her time in the State Department was renowned for her hostility towards Russia, quit the post of under secretary of state for political affairs in March this year. Nuland played a key role in the violent Western-backed coup in Kiev in 2014, which toppled Ukraine’s democratically elected president, Viktor Yanukovich. https://swentr.site/news/603708-ukraine-istanbul-us-nuland/ Jim Kunstler, The Votes and Who Counts Them
“The world is a dangerous place to live — not because of the people who are evil but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.” —Albert Einstein
When The New York Times tells you that the United States Constitution is a threat to democracy — As it did on the front page of its August 31 edition — you know that you are in thrall to exceedingly subtle minds. The Times only employs persons, both birthing and other, of the subtlest minds. You can tell because they are credentialed by our country’s finest institutions of educational credentialing.
They come to The Times fully equipped with the armamentarium of advanced, progressive, innovative, nuanced, cutting-edge modes of understanding our world — which, you’ll agree, is a pretty goshdurned complex place, and rather niggardly in yielding its secret workings. Hence, The Times has concluded that the Constitution is flawed, perhaps fatally, because it allowed for the election of Donald Trump once, and now, possibly, a second time:
“It’s no surprise, then, that liberals charge Trump with being a menace to the Constitution. But his presidency and the prospect of his re-election have also generated another, very different, argument: that Trump owes his political ascent to the Constitution, making him a beneficiary of a document that is essentially antidemocratic and, in this day and age, increasingly dysfunctional.” https://jameshowardkunstler.substack.com/p/the-votes-and-who-counts-them Alastair Crooke, Enabling a “Brutus” to slay the Elon Musk “Caesar”
In the Washington Post on Monday, the headlines read: Musk and Durov are facing the revenge of the regulators. Former U.S. Labor Secretary, Robert Reich, in the British Guardian newspaper, published a piece on how to ‘rein-in’ Elon Musk, suggesting that “regulators around the world should threaten Musk with arrest” on lines of that which befell Pavel Durov recently in Paris.
As should be clear to all now, ‘war’ has broken out. There is no need for further pretence about it. Rather, there is evident glee at the prospect of a crackdown on the ‘Far-Right’ and its internet users: i.e. those who spread ‘disinformation’ or mal-information that ‘threatens’ the broad ‘cognitive infrastructure’ (which is to say, what the people think!)...
Professor Frank Furedi observes:
“There is an unholy alliance of western leaders – Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholtz – whose hatred of what they call populism is undisguised. In his recent visits to Berlin and Paris, Starmer constantly referred to the threat posed by populism. During his meeting with Scholz in Berlin on 28 August, Starmer spoke about the importance of defeating “the snake oil of populism and nationalism”...
..So, what is the source of the élite’s anti-populist hysteria? The answer is that the latter know that they have become severed from the values and respect of their own people and that it is only a matter of time before they are seriously challenged, in one form or another…
..Why war?
Because, after the 2016 U.S. election, the U.S. political backroom élites blamed democracy and populism for producing bad election outcomes. Anti-establishment Trump had actually won in the U.S.; Bolsonaro won too, Farage surged, Modi won again, and Brexit etc., etc...
..By 2023, the New York Times was running essays headlined: “Elections Are Bad for Democracy”…
..Cultural War
2016 represented the onset of cultural war, as Mike Benz has described in great detail. A complete outsider, Trump had crashed through the System’s guardrails to win the Presidency. Populism and ‘disinformation’ were the cause, it was held. By 2017, NATO was describing ‘disinformation’ as the greatest threat facing western nations...‘
..Democracy’ they said, was no longer to be defined as a consensus gentium – i.e. a concerted resolve amongst the governed; but rather, was to be defined as the agreed ‘stance’ formed, not by individuals, but by democracy-supporting institutions. [ie. what used to be called “oligarchy”].
Once re-defined as ‘an alignment of supporting institutions’, the second ‘twist’ to the democracy re-formulation was added. The Establishment had foreseen a risk that were a direct info-war on populism pursued, they themselves would be portrayed as autocratic and imposing top-down censorship.
The solution to the dilemma of how to pursue the campaign against populism, according to Benz, lay in the genesis of the ‘whole of society’ concept whereby media, influencers, public institutions, NGOs and allied media would be corralled and pressured into joining an apparently organic, bottom-up censorship coalition focused on the scourge of populism and disinformation. This approach – with the government standing at ‘one removed’ from the censorship process – seemed to offer plausible deniability of direct government involvement…
..An outwardly bland ideological alignment focussed on ‘our democracy’ and ‘our values’ would nonetheless allow for the re-integration of these enduring structures to foreign policy (hostility to Russia; support for Israel; and antipathy towards Iran) to be re-formulated as the appropriate rhetorical slap in the face to the Populists.
The war may escalate; It may not end with a disinformation eco-system. The New York Times in July posted an article arguing how The First Amendment is Out of Control and in August another piece entitled, The Constitution is Sacred. Is it Also Dangerous?
The war, for the moment, is targetted at the ‘unaccountable’ billionaires: Pavel Durov, Elon Musk and his ‘X’ platform. The survival or not of Elon Musk will be crucial to the course of this aspect of the war: The EU’s Digital Service Act was always conceived to serve as ‘Brutus’ to Musk’s ‘Caesar.
Throughout history, self-regarding and self-enriching élites have become dangerously contemptuous of their peoples. Crackdowns have been the usual first response. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/09/09/enabling-a-brutus-to-slay-the-elon-musk-caesar/ A Midwestern Doctor, We Must Never Forget 9-9-21 , How Biden’s Mandates Devastated America and His Presidency (I just got fired, but I’m fine.)
Recently, a rather extraordinary turn of events happened. The sitting president was forced to drop out of his re-election campaign because his cognitive impairment was undeniably exposed to the country through a presidential debate and his party then turned against him. I and many others hold the opinion that over the last 3 years, Biden experienced cognitive and neurological decline, that this decline perfectly paralleled his zealous endorsement of the COVID vaccines (5 shots total for Joe) , and that causality can be established since that same decline has been seen in many others following COVID vaccination (especially older adults with pre-existing cognitive impairment).
On 9/9/21, Biden gave one of the most divisive speeches in American history. There he announced his illegal workforce mandate (which was later struck down by the Supreme Court), repeated a series of known lies about the COVID vaccine and repeatedly attempted to incite hatred against the unvaccinated. Since the entire conference was 27 minutes long (which made it too long to watch), I spent a while trimming it down to the key points. The primary reason I made this article was to highlight this video, so please consider watching it (and take note of how much more lucid and coherent he was just three years ago). https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/we-must-never-forget-9-9-21 Jonathan Cook, Israeli Torture Chambers Aren’t New
For many years I lived just up the road from Megiddo prison in northern Israel, where new film of Israeli guards torturing Palestinians en masse has been published by Israel’s Haaretz newspaper.
I drove past Megiddo prison on hundreds of occasions. Over time I came to barely notice the squat grey buildings, surrounded by watch towers and razor wire.
There are several large prisons like Megiddo in Israel’s north. It is where Palestinians end up after they have been seized from their homes, often in the middle of the night. Israel, and the Western media, say these Palestinians have been “arrested,” as though Israel is enforcing some kind of legitimate legal procedure over oppressed subjects — or rather objects — of its occupation.
In truth, these Palestinians have been kidnapped. https://consortiumnews.com/2024/09/09/israeli-torture-chambers-arent-new/Syria warns Israel about ‘unforeseeable consequences’ of its atrocities https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2024/09/09/732990/Syria-warning-Israel-aggression-regional-countries-Hama
Netanyahu Refuses a Gaza Ceasefire on Any Terms
Aaron David Miller is an American Middle East analyst, author, and negotiator. Miller worked for the US Department of State for 24 years and as an advisor on Arab-Israeli negotiations.
Miller said on CNN on September 4, that the ceasefire deal between Netanyahu and Hamas will not happen, because the sticking point is not the Philadelphia Corridor, it is about Netanyahu’s seat in office...
..Hundreds of thousands of Israelis are in the streets demanding that Netanyahu sign a ceasefire deal to release their hostages. Israeli opposition leaders and Israeli peace activists are demanding a ceasefire and a change in the government.
The International Court of Justice ruled that the occupation of Palestine was against international law.
Hamas, the Palestinian resistance, is holding to their condition for the Israeli military to pull out completely of Gaza to accept the ceasefire between the two sides. But, Netanyahu is sticking to his demand of keeping troops inside Gaza on the Egyptian border, referred to as the Philadelphia Corridor.
Hamas has kept Netanyahu from achieving his military goals in Gaza. No senior Hamas leaders have been killed in Gaza, and the military wing of Hamas is still strong and fighting.
Hamas started a fight on October 7 which galvanized the international community on the side of the Palestinians. The two-state solution is cited by the US, and the UN as the only solution to the conflict. The only country against the two-state solution is Israel.
Netanyahu asked AIPAC to put pressure on US President Joe Biden to drop out of the race. Biden was demanding Netanyahu make a ceasefire deal, to release Israeli hostages as well as stop the bloodshed in Gaza.
Netanyahu Will Prolong the War on Gaza Until Trump Takes Office
Biden’s decision to drop out of the race for re-election came just days after Netanyahu reneged on a ceasefire promise to Biden.
Netanyahu refused to comply with Biden because Netanyahu’s freedom depends on staying in office. If he goes against his right-wing religious extremist allies, Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, they will drop his government like a hot potato.
If Netanyahu is out of office and has no immunity, he will serve jail time for the corruption charges he was found guilty of...
..Netanyahu is betting on VP Kamala Harris winning over Trump. Despite that former President Donald Trump did more for Israel than any previous president, Trump has never forgotten that Netanyahu endorsed Biden in the 2020 election. Israel has thousands of citizens who hold US citizenship as well and vote in US elections.
Trump is well known for shutting down foreign wars which are a financial drain on the American taxpayer. If Trump is elected, Netanyahu might get a phone call telling him the billions of dollars in weapons and cash to Israel are being cut off, and demanding Netanyahu sign a ceasefire deal...

Moon of Alabama, Zionists Are Calling For More War And May Well Get It
The daily Israeli murder campaign in Gaza continues unabated.
Netranyahoo is blocking (vid) any proposal for a ceasefire by adding new conditions to the already agreed upon details. His latest quest is to get permanent military control of the so called Philadelphia Corridor which designates the borderline between Egypt and Gaza.
There are two international agreements, brokered by the U.S. and agreed upon by Egypt and Israel, which prohibited anything more than a temporary light force in the corridor:
The US had assured Egypt that Israel’s actions along the border would comply with both the 1978 Camp David Accords and the 2005 Memorandum of Understanding. These agreements place clear limitations on Israel’s military presence near Egypt’s borders, allowing only small Israeli units for security purposes, and were designed to ensure stability and avoid prolonged occupation in sensitive areas.
Netanyahoo does not care at all what the White House might have promised to Egypt…
..Former war cabinet member Benny Gantz on Sunday said Israel should shift its focus toward Hezbollah and the Lebanese border, warning that “we are late on this,” …
“The time for [action in] the north has come,” said Gantz on Sunday during the Middle East America Dialogue (MEAD) summit in Washington, DC, adding, “Actually, I think we are late on this.”
Netanyahoo agrees:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged his government on Sunday to prepare for “changing the situation” on the northern front with Lebanon given the ongoing clashes and mounting tensions.
Speaking at a weekly cabinet meeting, he said the situation in the north cannot go on, calling on the army and all security agencies to prepare for change on the front.
The government is committed to returning all residents of the north safely to their homes, he added, while describing Hezbollah in Lebanon as Iran’s “strongest” arm.
Meanwhile, Israeli security sources told local media that the battle with Lebanon is “imminent”, but the timing for it hasn’t been set yet…
..The intentional targeting of medical personnel is a tactic that Israel is also using in Gaza. Hizbullah and its friends do not believe that any new Israeli action is yet imminent: The latest flurry of Israeli threats regarding an imminent military operation in Lebanon are only aimed at “intimidation,” diplomatic sources said.
“They are also aimed at blocking the latest Iranian-American rapprochement, whose first signs have appeared in the agreement reached in Iraq, which would not have happened without an Iranian green light,” the sources told al-Joumhouria newspaper in remarks published Monday.
Iraq and the United States have agreed on a phased pullout of the U.S.-led anti-jihadist coalition but have yet to sign a final agreement, the Iraqi defense minister said Sunday. https://www.moonofalabama.org/2024/09/zionists-who-call-for-more-war-may-well-get-it-.html#more A member of Knesset (the Israeli parliament) has claimed that the regime would launch a full-blown war on Lebanon “in a matter of days.”
Nissim Vaturi, a member of Likud and the Knesset’s foreign affairs committee, made the remarks to the regime’s Kan public broadcaster on Monday.
“There is no other way,” he alleged, adding that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was of the same opinion and that “this is something that will develop in the coming days.” https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2024/09/09/732951/Israel-war-Lebanon-HezbollahCENTCOM Chief Visits Israel To Discuss Iran and Lebanon, The IDF presented Gen.

Can Nationalist-Team-Trump offer the global-financial-elites a better business deal than the DNC Wall-Street-globalists can? Maybe… Everything hinges on bleeding the productive economy for their profit, but there are different ways to go about that. These excerpts from a Michael Hudson and Richard Wolff interview may cast some light…
Michael Hudson interview: The Myth That the US is Rapidly Approaching Bankruptcy
Michael Hudson: Well, when Republicans and now the Democrats, ever since Obama, sought to frighten voters into supporting an attack on Social Security by trying to privatize it with the right-wing congressional commission he sponsored, there’s been a lot of deceptive rhetoric about the federal debt and how the budget deficit forces us to make hard choices, hard for the people, the 90% of the population who are going to have their social spending, Social Security, and other basic government programs squeezed out by what the both Democrats and Republicans want to cut back.
The real problem leading to bankruptcy today is private debt. There’s no problem at all with government debt going bankrupt. Governments don’t go bankrupt. They can always print the money…
..Well, I want to put this debt issue in perspective. And in order to do that, I think it’s necessary to think in terms of balance sheets. In one way or another, it’s a question of who, whom. To whom does the U.S. government owe its debts?…
And I’ll explain later, the government has no intention or likelihood of having to pay a large part of its foreign debt.
So the second point that’s important to start with is to recognize that one party’s debt is another party’s assets. The government debt is a preferred asset of most of the economy.
So let’s look at who holds the government debt as an asset. Well, with all of today’s gloom and doom talk, it may surprise people to say that the U.S. debt is perhaps the most desirable financial asset on the planet. That’s why so much of it is owned by the wealthiest layer of the U.S. population…
..And these Treasury securities that foreign governments hold are to finance the U.S. budget deficit that is a result largely of U.S. military spending to create the 800 military bases we have around the world to surround countries and sort of force them not to abandon the dollar standard, but they’re financing their own encirclement and their own basic U.S. military buildup against them.
And that makes the U.S. foreign debt to foreign central banks a free lunch. The U.S. can just spend it as much as it wants. The dollars that it spends end up in the foreign central banks of Europe and also of China.
And foreign central banks don’t have an alternative unless they’re to use these dollar inflows and buy gold or something else. And of course, if they do that, the United States declares them an enemy for trying to de-dollarize and essentially declares a financial war on them.
Well, this free lunch is something that nobody expects to be repaid. The U.S. is not able to create enough of a balance of payment surplus to pay Germany and France and China and Russia and Japan, all of the securities that it owes them…
..When the oil war happened in 1974 and the OPEC countries quadrupled their price, the price of oil, they were told, you can charge whatever you want for your oil, but you have to keep all of your savings, all the receipts you get from this oil, you have to keep that in US currency. We’re not going to let you buy US companies, but you can buy stocks and bonds, but basically you have to put it in US banks to buy treasury bills. You can’t really spend it for anything at all. You’re stuck with it. And if you don’t do that, we will treat that as an act of war…
..If the government wants to spend money into the economy, it asks the Federal Reserve to buy US Treasury securities. So the Federal Reserve owns these securities and the banking system owns US securities as backing and reserves for its own deposits and loans. That’s how banks work, holding reserves. So this part of the US debt also isn’t supposed to be paid. And there’s no way that the US is going to go bankrupt. If the US had no debt at all, there’d be no government debt to hold as bank reserves. There’d be no reason for the Federal Reserve to exist. You can see the problem.
So just like the paper money in your pockets, this other Federal Reserve holding, foreign bank holding of government debt are not expected to be repaid. And I think this kind of financial maneuvering shows that the United States doesn’t really have to borrow. It can really, in effect, print the money. But when it prints the money, this money it prints, just like issuing paper money, the money it prints is counted as a debt to the Federal Reserve. So it’s all a wash transaction, sort of the illusion of a debt that somehow is in trouble…
..Chinese officials have told me that they don’t expect the US dollar really to go down. They’re reducing their holdings of dollars in favor of gold and other foreign currencies, but they still hold enormous amounts of dollars because they expect them essentially to remain a strong currency.
So basically, the enormous increase in wealth that the wealthiest 10% of Americans have made since the Obama bank bailout in 2008, this stemmed from the fact that the US debt has been thrown under the finance and created the largest bond market boom in history.
This bond market boom has only benefited the wealthiest financial classes. So here’s wage level and income for the bottom 90%, flat. For the top 10%, it’s gone up and up...
Richard Wolff (Germany): I think maybe I can help in this regard because there really isn’t a contradiction between the notion of the financial markets that the dollar is the safest place or the safest form in which to hold your wealth, the dollar obligations of the United States government given the way the world is working…
..Here’s the unspoken assumption of the private world, which we’ll see is reasonable. The assumption is that the United States government, despite the level of debt it’s involved in and despite its shrinking global footprint, has an internal political capability of making sure that the people who hold that debt will not be in any way damaged by how this problem gets solved.
In other words, what they’re doing is they’re saying you can afford to keep your wealth here, which we need you to do, and here’s what we’ll do in exchange. We’ll make sure that the angry people who are going to have to pay the freight of all of this will not be able to disrupt it…
..So the American people say, okay, don’t pay the interest on the debt. There it is. Then you have 800 billion bucks right now, and that’s way more than you need to give us free education, free health care, and all the rest we’ve just asked for. Do that. We elected you. Do that. And if you don’t do that, we will unelect you and replace you with people who will.
Oh my gosh, say all the people in the world who own the debt.
That’s a very important point that Michael made. For every debt, there’s somebody holding that debt for whom it is an asset, and they want to protect their assets. They don’t want there to be a risk that the United States government will stop paying interest on the debt.
So the American government’s pledge to them, unspoken but very real, don’t worry, we will cut back on everything to the American people to preserve your interest in getting paid off for that debt that you own and that you invested in. You European rich people, you potentates around the world ripping off your own populations and investing it in dollars. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We’ll protect you who don’t elect us but who fund us. And we will screw the American people because you elect us but you don’t fund us…
Michael Hudson: This is the big squeeze that has been planned now for 20 years, the plan to take social spending out of the hands of government and to privatize it. Well, what are they going to do?
They’re not going to simply say, we won’t pay Social Security, because that’s a contractual obligation that the government has settled up. But what they say is, what we’re going to do is we’re going to take the Social Security Fund and we’re going to create a government grant to, let’s say, BlackRock and other money management companies to manage the Social Security in the form of a huge privatized mutual fund, just like the Sovereign Wealth Fund of Malaysia was handled by Wall Street and criminally just ripped off by the financial managers.
That’s what financial managers do. That’s what Goldman Sachs was criminally prosecuted for, for the billions of dollars that it embezzled from the money that it was supposed to be handling as a fiduciary from the Malaysian Sovereign Wealth Fund.
They want to do that with all of the Social Security Fund and they want to take this money, the government funding for Social Security that you’re paying every month, and all that’s going to be paid into this mutual fund that’s going to buy U.S. stocks and bonds.
And the financial sector says, if we can do that, this will create a huge stock market bubble. Boom. Because look, all this money, instead of being paid into the government to finance its war spending and the other spending that governments do, now it’ll be spent on the stock market.
And thank heavens, the stock market is so over debt leveraged now. It’s so almost insolvent that we’ve saved the stock market Ponzi scheme from the brink of insolvency. https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2024/09/the-myth-that-the-us-is-rapidly-approaching-bankruptcy.html ‘We’re living a Lie’: Astronaut reveals shock realization after viewing Earth from Space
Former NASA astronaut Ron Garan returned to Earth after spending 178 days in space with a profoundly changed worldview.
Garan now believes many of the planet’s issues could be addressed if more people experienced what scientists call the “overview effect.”
Garan, who traveled more than 71 million miles in a total of 2,842 orbits, realized that Earth is more fragile than he initially thought.
“When I looked out of the window of the International Space Station, I saw the paparazzi-like flashes of lightning storms, I saw dancing curtains of auroras that seemed so close it was as if we could reach out and touch them and I saw the unbelievable thinness of our planet’s atmosphere. In that moment I was hit by the sobering realization.”
Ronald came to the understanding that every living thing on Earth was being kept alive by a very thin layer and people don’t realize just how connected we all are.
“I saw an iridescent biosphere teaming with life, I didn’t see an economy, but since our human-made systems treat everything including the very life-support systems of our planet as the […] subsidiary of the global economy, it’s obvious from the vanish point of space that we’re living a lie,” he added.
Ronald has urged people to shift their thinking for the overall benefit of humanity and move from thinking “economy, society, planet to planet, society, economy”... ..William Shatner, best known for his role as James T. Kirk in the Star Trek series, noted after his visit to space, “It was among the strongest feelings of grief I have ever encountered.” He described the contrast between the “vicious coldness of space and the warm nurturing of Earth below” as overwhelming and filled with sadness.
“Every day, we are confronted with the knowledge of further destruction of Earth at our hands: the extinction of animal species, of flora and fauna… things that took five billion years to evolve, and suddenly we will never see them again because of the interference of mankind,” Shatner lamented. https://en.interaffairs.ru/article/we-re-living-a-lie-astronaut-reveals-shock-realization-after-viewing-earth-from-space/ Israel’s Gaza genocide has produced ‘ecosystem of genocidal methodologies’
Dr. Zarni, a world-renowned genocide scholar, said he is not comfortable in creating a hierarchy of evil (and crimes) but he is prepared to say that Israel is “resorting to Nazi SS (Schutzstaffel)-like policies of collective punishment with the intent to bring about the physical destruction of the population of Gaza.”…
..Dr. Zarni said the Israeli regime’s kill rate of children and infants in the besieged territory is “far worse” than the number of children slaughtered at the Mauthausen Concentration camp in Hitler’s native upper Austria.
“The SS slaughtered 23,000 children at Mauthausen in roughly 7 years ( between the autumn of 1939 and Spring of 1945) whereas Israel has brought about the direct murder or death of 17,000 Gazan children and infants in mere 11 months,” the scholar and activist told the Press TV website.
While the world is still debating whether the Israeli regime is committing genocide and war crimes in Gaza, Dr. Zarni said the “moral majority” of the world – as evidenced by the protests around the world, in both Global North and Global South – “are not debating about Israel’s crimes in Gaza.”
“It is Western politicians, Western states, ideological institutions such as the media, universities, and thinktanks – themselves built via settler colonialist genocides and colonial loot, theft and pre-colonial slavery and slave trade – that are splitting legal hair and propagating this lie of “Israel has the right to defend itself,” he emphasized.
He said that based on his studies and research of the Cambodian genocide, the Nazi genocide or the Burmese genocide of Rohingya, the Israeli genocide in Palestine has produced what he calls “the ecosystem of genocidal methodologies.”
“I will say that Israel’s Zionist project of establishing, maintaining and expanding the Jewish majority (or supremacy) state has produced what I call “the ecosystem of genocidal methodologies” with a singular mission of destroying, at varying speeds, the native population of Palestine,” he noted. https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2024/09/09/732974/israel-genocide-gaza-produced-ecosystem-genocidal-methodologies-scholarWest Bank: armed Jewish settler attacks Palestinian children on first day back to school https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240909-west-bank-armed-jewish-settler-attacks-palestinian-children-on-first-day-back-to-school/

Harris Puts Trump on the Defensive in a Fierce Debate
Kamala Harris took the debate stage, shook Donald Trump’s hand and then spent the next 90 minutes making every effort to get under his skin.That’s not exactly what I saw. It was not about Kamala.
WES reported pretty well last night.
Harris appeared more functional and competent than I expected. (Was she really fed the actual questions?)
Harris’ time in the hotel room with the Trump impersonator was effectively spent. Not Slow Joe Biden, but a capable college student of IQ:116, but no actual initiative or gravitas.
Harris caved when asked about Israel/Palestine and turned off “both sides”Trump hardened when he saw Harris’ game and talked right past her to American voters and the oligarchic elites, making a strong case that he was the tough “wartime president”, which Bush II claimed to be, while Cheney really was.
Trump’s make-up was different and better, and he came on strong.He’s completely OK with genocide, but it is being done wrong…

“The world is a dangerous place to live — not because of the people who are evil but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.” —Albert Einstein
https://jameshowardkunstler.substack.com/p/the-votes-and-who-counts-themWhen The New York Times tells you that the United States Constitution is a threat to democracy — As it did on the front page of its August 31 edition — you know that you are in thrall to exceedingly subtle minds. The Times only employs persons, both birthing and other, of the subtlest minds. You can tell because they are credentialed by our country’s finest institutions of educational credentialing.
They come to The Times fully equipped with the armamentarium of advanced, progressive, innovative, nuanced, cutting-edge modes of understanding our world — which, you’ll agree, is a pretty goshdurned complex place, and rather niggardly in yielding its secret workings. Hence, The Times has concluded that the Constitution is flawed, perhaps fatally, because it allowed for the election of Donald Trump once, and now, possibly, a second time:
“It’s no surprise, then, that liberals charge Trump with being a menace to the Constitution. But his presidency and the prospect of his re-election have also generated another, very different, argument: that Trump owes his political ascent to the Constitution, making him a beneficiary of a document that is essentially antidemocratic and, in this day and age, increasingly dysfunctional.”
Officials sound alarms as crypto mines threaten to crash US state power grids
Texas is home to 10 of the 34 largest Bitcoin “mines,” according to Inside Climate News. Bitcoin mines are enormous warehouses where thousands of powerful computers operate 24/7, running programs that support the cryptocurrency’s transactions and operations.
But the use of so much power is doing more than simply validating purchases. It’s now threatening to crash the state’s power grids — particularly worrying for Texas, given its high prevalence of natural disasters, ICN reports.
The crypto mines can draw up to 2,600 megawatts of power — the equivalent of the power used by all of Austin — and their demand is on track to almost double by 2030, per the news outlet. ICN referenced a social media post by state Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who said, “it can’t be the Wild Wild West of data centers and crypto miners crashing our grid and turning the lights off.”
They also drive up energy prices for consumers, contribute to air pollution, and generate noise pollution for nearby residents, per ICN. https://www.thecooldown.com/green-business/crypto-mining-impact-texas-power-grid/Gerald Ford knew where the virus came from, a bioweapons lab and ordered a rush-vaccine. Accidental Virus Release May Have Triggered Mysterious 1977 Pandemic
Nineteen-year-old US Army Pvt. David Lewis set out from Fort Dix on a 50-mile hike with his unit on 5 February 1976. On that bitter cold day, he collapsed and died.
Autopsy specimens unexpectedly tested positive for an H1N1 swine influenza virus.
Virus disease surveillance at Fort Dix found another 13 cases among recruits who had been hospitalized for respiratory illness. Additional serum antibody testing revealed that over 200 recruits had been infected but not hospitalized with the novel swine H1N1 strain.
Alarm bells instantly went off within the epidemiology community: Could Pvt. Lewis’ death from an H1N1 swine flu be a harbinger of another global pandemic like the terrible 1918 H1N1 swine flu pandemic that killed an estimated 50 million people worldwide?

The plight of Palestinians in the West Bank has garnered some global attention as Israel launched its largest military operation there in more than two decades, inflicting wanton destruction of properties and infrastructure in the northern cities of Jenin, Tulkarem and Tubas.
Its forces have killed and wounded scores of Palestinians over the past 10 days, adding to the more than 6,000 casualties in the Occupied Territory since the Gaza war began on 7 October.
In Occupied East Jerusalem, however, experts say Israel has taken a different approach, using the Gaza war to accelerate the “silent displacement” of Palestinians to reshape its demographic landscape.
The strategy there has four main elements: demolitions, evictions, land confiscation and expansion of illegal settlements. https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240906-game-of-demographics-how-israel-aims-to-wipe-out-palestinians-from-occupied-east-jerusalem/Leaked US Army Documents: Thousands Of Violent Venezuelan Prison Gang Members Run Amok Across America

“The detainees were subjected to abuse, severe beatings, and threats against their families, in addition to widespread acts of sabotage and destruction of citizens’ homes,” the statement said. https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240908-israel-arrests-35-more-palestinians-in-west-bank-raids/Israel bombed 16 schools in Gaza in one month
According to a statement by the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, since the beginning of August, Israel has bombed 16 schools used as shelters in the Gaza Strip, killing 217 Palestinians and injuring hundreds – many of them women and children.
The Israeli military has also escalated its targeting of civilians over the past week in the Gaza and North Gaza governorates by bombing residential homes, gatherings, and commercial stands, as well as shelter centers and their surroundings, the statement said. https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2024/09/08/732905/Euro-Med-Palestine-Israel-Gaza-US–Tulsi Gabbard Destroys Cheney Endorsement: “A Vote For Kamala Harris Is A Vote For Dick Cheney”
The great thing about the timing of her appearance on Carlson’s Live Tour is that she took the stage just after Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz, both “lifelong Republicans”, issued full-throated endorsements of Kamala Harris for president, while also blasting “depraved human being” Donald Trump.
83-year old former Vice President Cheney, who oversaw with GW Bush the invasion of Iraq and overthrow of Saddam Hussein, said in his Saturday statement: “In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump.”…
..”I have a very simple message for my Democrat friends, my independent friends, and those who may not be sure about who they’re voting for in this election. Dick Cheney has just made the choice very clear”… “A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for Dick Cheney, the architect of everything that has gone wrong in the Middle East for the last few decades,” Gabbard emphasized. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/tulsi-gabbard-destroys-neocons-endorsement-vote-kamala-harris-vote-dick-cheneyCheney Reaction
China and trade are likely to be a lively topic of discussion on Tuesday when Donald Trump and Kamala Harris face off in the second Presidential debate (the first between these candidates). Readers will recall that Trump has promised tariffs of 100% or more on Chinese goods should he be elected President, and over the weekend he extended that promise to include any country that seeks to exit the Dollar-based global trade system. “You leave the dollar and you’re not doing business with the United States because we are going to put a 100% tariff on your goods”.
In an election cycle that has already made for strange political bedfellows – a Kennedy and a former DNC Vice Chair are openly supporting Donald Trump – the strangeness was amplified by news over the weekend Bush VP Dick Cheney will be supporting Kamala Harris. Tucker Carlson was quick to point out that this shouldn’t really surprise anyone, because we are witnessing a political re-alignment where the old lines of demarcation between Democrats and Republicans are being swept away and replaced by a delineating question of “are you a globalist, or a nationalist?”
In some respects, this is a throwback to an older style of American politics. Trump’s deployment of tariffs to “Make America Great Again” bears a strong resemblance to Abe Lincoln’s exclamation “give us a protective tariff and we will have the greatest nation on earth”, and his admiration for William McKinley’s protectionism is well known. Harris, almost by default, assumes the role of torchbearer for a multilateral approach to foreign affairs, free(er) trade and US military adventurism of the type that Cheney is notorious for. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/cheney-reactionCIA and MI6 chiefs warn of threats to ‘world order’
The US and UK spy bosses have named China and Russia as the main challengers to the status quo
The global order is under threat from a number of state actors, the heads of the American and British foreign intelligence agencies – the CIA and MI6 – claimed in a joint op-ed published by the Financial Times on Saturday.
In the piece, Bill Burns and Richard Moore pledged that Washington and London would work in lockstep to retain the status quo in a world where technology has considerably accelerated geo-political trends…
..In the op-ed, Burns and Moore observed that “there is no question that the international world order – the balanced system that has led to relative peace and stability and delivered rising living standards, opportunities and prosperity – is under threat in a way we haven’t seen since the cold war.”
“Today, we co-operate in a contested international system where our two countries face an unprecedented array of threats,” the top spies wrote…
..In addition, Burns and Moore accused Moscow of waging a “reckless campaign of sabotage across Europe” as well as spreading “lies and disinformation designed to drive wedges between us.”
However, according to the op-ed, in the eyes of the CIA and MI6 “the principal intelligence and geopolitical challenge of the 21st century” is the “rise of China.” Both agencies have already reorganized their processes to “reflect that priority.” https://www.rt.com/news/603676-cia-mi6-chiefs-threats-world-order/John Helmer, from Russia, TRUMP REPEATS PUTIN BRIBE – LIMITED SANCTIONS RELIEF IN EXCHANGE FOR STOPPING RUSSIAN GENERAL STAFF PLAN OF OPERATIONS, ACCEPTANCE OF US DOLLAR DOMINANCE
Presidential candidate Donald Trump has repeated his promise to end the Ukraine war the day after his re-election with a bribe for President Vladimir Putin and his two pro-American constituencies, the Central Bank of Russia and the Russian oligarchs.
Applauded by an audience of New York lawyers and businessmen on Thursday afternoon, September 5, Trump answered a question from a Sullivan & Cromwell lawyer, Rodgin Cohen, who asked if Trump “would strengthen or modify any of these economic sanctions, particularly Russia.”
Trump replied that sanctions “ultimately kill the dollar and kill everything the dollar represents. We have to continue to have that be the world currency…I think that if we lose 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…you’re losing Iran; you’re losing Russia.China is out there trying to get their currency to be the dominant one…I want to use sanctions as little as possible.” https://johnhelmer.net/trump-repeats-putin-bribe-limited-sanctions-relief-in-exchange-for-stopping-russian-general-staff-plan-of-operations-acceptance-of-us-dollar-dominance/#more-90334CIA, MI6 Praise Ukraine’s Kursk Invasion for Bringing War to ‘Ordinary Russians’

Many of us have seen enough to assume that Kamala Harris can only lose an election to Donald Trump, even with a moderate amount of vote rigging. This is mostly important in light of what team each represents. Trump represents traditional US nationalist interests and national economy, while Harris represents globalist interests, which extract value from nations in a parasitic fashion. I am personally voting for Jill Stein MD again, because she and I both stand for the human-rights of indigenous Palestinian people.
Having an election under these circumstances seems too risky for the current cabal of transnational elites, typified as BlackRock investors. They need to maintain control over enforcement, which was brought into question last week when NYPD officers made it known that a lot of them would call-in-sick on September 18, the day of Trump’s sentencing in the Stormy Daniels payoff case, rumored to be a year in Rikers Prison. A contingent of National Guard forces in a New York hotel was reported following that (a cohort with a lot of Trump supporters.) … Last Friday the NYC judge delayed Trump’s sentencing until after the election, https://www.zerohedge.com/political/judge-delays-trumps-hush-money-sentencing-until-after-election and the largest national Police union endorsed Trump and announced that it “had his back” https://www.zerohedge.com/political/judge-delays-trumps-hush-money-sentencing-until-after-election
I ask that you might hold the consideration that the elite power struggle between globalist and nationalist factions is being fought now, and that November elections, should they occur, will reflect the outcome of these occult September and October contests. The current parasitic elites are deeply entrenched and increasingly desperate to hold power.Not only did Lee Harvey Oswald have absolutely nothing to do with the assassination of JFK… he was working closely with the Kennedy brothers by spying on rogue elements within the C.I.A. who were constantly planning to assassinate Fidel Castro against the explicit orders of President Kennedy.
“Not only did Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) have no involvement whatsoever with the JFK assassination, he was deliberately set up as the patsy by both the C.I.A. and FBI because they caught him working for a super-secret sting operation set up by both President John F. Kennedy and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. JFK had had it with the many attempts to assassinate Cuba’s President Castro and knew that he had to do something radical to defang the C.I.A. in this regard. So, he and brother Bobby recruited LHO into a highly covert cell of double agents to expose the rogue CIA operatives and their insubordinate leaders in Langley who were operating out of their New Orleans secret headquarters. NOLA, at the time, was a hotbed of hot-headed Cubanos who wanted Castro dead in the worst way and they were forever colluding with the CIA to knock him off.” https://stateofthenation.co/?p=249546 Photo of Oswald in Russia, with wife, Marina.

BOMBSHELL BREAKTHROUGH! Not only did Lee Harvey Oswald have absolutely nothing to do with the assassination of JFK…..…he was working closely with the Kennedy
brothers by spying on rogue elements within
the C.I.A. who were constantly planning to
assassinate Fidel Castro against the explicit
orders of President Kennedy.Come 1963, two years after the Bay of Pigs, the frustration and anger was to reach a boiling point. All the money and resources, time and energy, personnel and training that were marshaled toward assassinating Fidel Castro were simply redirected toward assassinating President Kennedy. Even the assassination training camps owned by Mike McLaney in Lacombe, Louisiana were teeming with angry Cuban exiles, mafia hit men and rogue CIA agents. Trigger-happy is the only way to describe the combustible atmosphere, and the Kennedys became the target.
For these, and other reasons, Bobby Kennedy chose Lee Harvey Oswald — as an ultra-secret, supra-classified counterintelligence asset to infiltrate the CIA-Cuban-Mafia movement. In that capacity, Oswald literally functioned as a one-man domestic counterintelligence operation. Because he was born in New Orleans he knew well the lay of the land there. He also lived in Dallas upon his return from the USSR since his mother and brother had moved there. However, it was his lifelong affinity to socialism and communism which made him a natural fit for the mission that RFK had in mind.
Because Oswald had a longstanding interest in communism, he defected to the USSR at a very young age just before turning 20.
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/US Intel Undercuts DOJ’s ‘Foreign Interference’ Claim Used to Smear Conservative Pundits

(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-trumpTrump 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

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/The prominent rumor:

Some 1,200 Israeli soldiers and civilians were killed in the operation.

Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, was “shot in the head” while participating in a demonstration in Beita in the West Bank on Friday.
“Her presence in our lives was taken needlessly, unlawfully, and violently by the Israeli military,” Eygi’s family said in a statement.
“A US citizen, Aysenur was peacefully standing for justice when she was killed by a bullet that video shows came from an Israeli military shooter.”
“We call on President (Joe) Biden, Vice President (Kamala) Harris, and Secretary of State (Antony) Blinken to order an independent investigation into the unlawful killing of a US citizen and to ensure full accountability for the guilty parties.”
The Israeli military said its forces “responded with fire toward a main instigator of violent activity who hurled rocks at the forces and posed a threat to them” during the protest. https://www.arabnews.com/node/2570424/middle-east“Clearly, this ad is designed to get low-information and low-engagement Arab-American and left-leaning voters to oppose Harris…a classic ratfucking operation by a PAC that is helping a former president that uses ‘Palestinian’ as a slur.”
