    2 “assassins” work better than one, as demonstrated with the “missed by that much” Trump assassination attempt.

    ​ The viruses we caught were very far removed from those initially found in wild bats. You don’t say? How could that be? Got any other samples of viruses that are closer?
    Wuhan lab samples hold no close relatives to virus behind COVID
    ​ After years of rumours that the virus that causes COVID-19 escaped from a laboratory in China, the virologist at the centre of the claims has presented data on dozens of new coronaviruses collected from bats in southern China. At a conference in Japan this week, Shi Zhengli, a specialist on bat coronaviruses, reported that none of the viruses stored in her freezers are the most recent ancestors of the virus SARS-CoV-2.​ https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03982-2

    ​ London declining as financial center – Bloomberg
    The stock market is shrinking at its fastest rate in more than a decade, the business news agency reports
    ​ In 2024, some 45 firms reportedly delisted from the London stock market, 10% more than the whole of last year. It’s the highest number of companies to leave the exchange since 2010. At the same time, the volume of deals targeting UK corporations have soared 81% this year to more than $160 billion.
    ​ Data tracked by the news agency also shows that only 11 companies have completed IPOs in London during the current year, raising a total of $1 billion, which is down 11% from the amount raised during the same period in 2023.
    ​ “Unless the UK gets its act together, it’s going to continue to lose ground and relevance,” Liad Meidar, managing partner at investment firm Gatemore Capital Management, told Bloomberg. “Quite simply, companies can’t get the right cost of capital. They can’t get the valuation they want.”…
    ..The UK stock market remains popular with bargain hunters, Bloomberg said, noting that British equities are currently trading at a record discount of over 40% compared to peers globally.
    ​ “If London wants to keep its place as the financial center of Europe, major reforms are needed,” said Joachim Klement, a strategist at British advisory firm Panmure Liberum, as quoted by the agency. “It is time for UK investment banks, the London Stock Exchange, and regulators to realize the seriousness of the situation and take action.

    ‘Feds Were Behind January 6th!’: Trump’s FBI Pick Kash Patel Vows to Free ‘J6 Hostages’​ https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/feds-were-behind-january-6th-trumps-fbi-pick-kash-patel-vows-to-free-j6-hostages/

    ​ Trump’s Pro-Israel Dream Team: Patel Nomination Caps Hawkish Cabinet
    ​ Patel has consistently advocated for a hardline approach to China and is an unabashed supporter of Israeli interests, often prioritizing them over U.S. considerations. On October 7, marking the first anniversary of the Hamas attack, Patel delivered a fiery interview on Fox News. During the segment, he vowed that the incoming Trump administration would intensify its crackdown on anti-Israeli elements.
    ​ “We should be side by side [with Israel]…When we are back in power with President Trump…we will shut off the machinery that feeds money into Iran…We need America to wake up and prioritize Israel, and that is not what Kamala Harris is about, we need to bring home Americans and end this war, bring home Israelis, and stand by our number one ally in Israel, and people need to wake up on November 5.”​ https://scheerpost.com/2024/12/06/trumps-pro-israel-dream-team-patel-nomination-caps-hawkish-cabinet/

    ​ Free speech crises loom with crackdown on Israel criticism
    ​ As one administration exits and another takes form, a harsh reality is becoming clear for critics of maintaining U.S. support for the Israeli government: in government bureaucracies and university campuses alike, crackdowns and pressure on free expression and assembly will continue in force.
    ​ Precisely how the incoming Trump administration will handle such criticism remains to be seen — but views expressed by his congressional allies and recent cabinet picks suggest a further diversion from upholding freedoms of speech and assembly in the name of maintaining support for Israel’s war on Gaza and beyond.
    ​ Most recently, Trump selected Pam Bondi as his new nominee for attorney general. Last year, Bondi told Newsmax that students demonstrating in support of Hamas should be deported, whether they are here on student visas or as American citizens.​ “Frankly, they need to be taken out of our country,” Bondi said. “Or, the FBI needs to be interviewing them right away.”
    ​ Trump himself echoed similar sentiments on the campaign trail, telling a group of donors in May that he would “throw out” any student that protests for Palestine and calling on the Biden administration to revoke the visas of foreign nationals who “support Hamas.”
    ​ Trump’s congressional allies have echoed the same sentiments in recent weeks. In October, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) met with members of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) during which he threatened to revoke accreditation to universities that allow purported pro-Hamas or anti-Israel sentiment. Scalise discussed the various “levers” and “tools” by which the government can crack down on universities, even threatening their existence altogether.
    ​ “Clearly this administration doesn’t care, but if you get an administration that actually says ‘we’re not going to play the game anymore,’ there’s a lot of levers and tools that will get [universities’] attention, day one,” Scalise said. “Your accreditation is one the line, you’re not playing games anymore or else you’re not a school anymore.”​ The hour-long meeting was framed as a discussion about antisemitism, but no one present attempted to differentiate between prejudice against Jews and criticism of the Israeli government and its actions.​ https://responsiblestatecraft.org/israel-protests/

    ​ Americans overwhelmingly oppose Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter, poll finds
    Voters also rejected the 46th president offered in explaining his clemency, and signaled they believe Donald Trump was more a victim of malicious prosecution than Hunter Biden​ ​ Rasmussen’s Napolitan News Service survey found 62% oppose the pardon, including 41% who strongly opposed it. Only 30% of voters favored Biden’s clemency,
    The poll also found Americans rejected the rationale the 46th president offered in explaining his decision.
    ​ Biden has said that Hunter Biden was unfairly targeted by prosecutors for political purposes, but 54% disagreed with his rationale, while 37% agreed.
    ​ Voters were more sympathetic to President-elect Donald Trump, with 46% declaring they believed that the Department of Justice unfairly targeted him under Biden’s leadership, while 42% disagreed.​ https://justthenews.com/accountability/political-ethics/americans-overwhelmingly-oppose-bidens-pardon-his-son-hunter-poll

    ​ Jim Kunstler, Not a Joke
    ​ The Hunter Biden super-sized blanket pardon went over so well around the country that “Joe Biden” — or the shadowy league of not-quite-geniuses who run the twilight White House operation — floated the idea of issuing preemptive pardons for a few of the most spectacularly dishonest characters in US political life: Dr. Fauci, Senator-elect Adam Schiff, and Liz Cheney…
    ​..None of the three has been convicted of a crime to be pardoned for, or even been hauled-in for questioning by federal law enforcement agents on a probable cause writ. But a pardon would necessarily paint them as criminals, ipso facto. Would they accept a pardon, with what it implies, or run shrieking from it as from an apple polished with novichok?
    ​ The proffer of a pardon itself must amount to a declaration of probable cause, igniting the very legal process it seeks to dispose of. An inquiry would have to be launched to discover what laws these three desperadoes might have broken, followed perhaps by a grand jury to evaluate the evidence, and so on. “Joe Biden” himself might have to answer some basic questions, such as: at what time prior to issuing the pardon did he begin to suspect some laws had been broken? And, since the president’s chief duty is to enforce the law, was “JB” negligent and culpable himself for misprision of felonies?​ …
    ​..Pardon me for saying: I fear that “Joe Biden” might have started something that isn’t going to end well for “Joe Biden” and many others. The little goldfish bowl of the White House is surrounded by the vast, pulsating DC blob and its million-footed ranks of officials deserving of pardons. You know the floated names Fauci, Schiff, and Cheney were only representative samples, denoting a certain managerial class of blobists that runs to the thousands of federal employees at least. What about Garland, Monaco, and Gupta at DOJ, and their paladin prosecutor Jack Smith, and his many deputies? Or Comey, Wray, Abbate, Sallet, McCabe, Rosenstein, Strzok, Page, Pientka, Priestap, McCord, Horowitz out of the FBI? Or Mueller, Weissmann, Dreeben, Van Grack, Rhee, and Quarles from that spin-off Special Counsel venture? Or Boasberg, Chutkan, and Sullivan in the DC judiciary? Or, Collins, Walensky, Cohen and their many deputies in Covid-land? Surely, they all deserve pardons now, and their crimes can be sorted out later.
    ​ There would appear to be no precedent for a chief executive pardoning the entire federal government, or we would have heard of it by now.​..
    ..What I await in the sunsetting “Joe Biden” presidency is whether he will go ahead and pardon the other members of the Biden family beyond just “first son” Hunter: brothers Jim and Frank and the wives and various offspring who received cash “gifts” from officials in foreign lands laundered into their personal bank accounts amounting to millions of dollars…
    ​..Perhaps that’s what is spurring the league of not-quite-geniuses behind the Big Guy to try to start World War Three this Christmas Season — to distract the public from the inevitable Biden family blanket pardon.​ https://www.kunstler.com/p/not-a-joke

    ​Damascus has folded without a fight this morning. There are now at least 4 armed groups without a common enemy in Syria. Some Syrian Arab Army forces crossed into Iraq and surrendered to Iraqi army units. Some units are moving towards Russian navy and airbases of Tartus and Latakia to regroup. Was Assad shot down, or did he get away? Israeli forces have crossed into Syria “to create a buffer zone”. Turkish forces have entered Syria to attack (CIA asset) Kurdish forces.

    ​ ‘Not Our Fight!’: Trump Weighs In On Syria’s Unraveling
    ​ “Opposition fighters in Syria, in an unprecedented move, have totally taken over numerous cities, in a highly coordinated offensive, and are now on the outskirts of Damascus, obviously preparing to make a very big move toward taking out Assad,” he began the statement on Truth Social.
    ​ Trump emphasized that Washington should stay completely out, calling the situation a “mess” and that it is “not our fight”. He posted the same message on X.
    ​ It alludes to Russia’s inability to continue protecting Syria, given it is bogged down in the nearly three year long Ukraine war, while also blasting former President Obama’s past Syria policies and that he laid down ‘red lines’.​..
    ​ A big question is: what comes next? While HTS has morphed from Syrian Al-Qaeda, it is trying to present to the West a softer image, claiming that it will protect minorities including Christians. However, its recent past clearly demonstrates that it rules territories under its control with Taliban-style force and brutality.
    ​ Much of the nation’s population until now has stuck with Assad given the alternative is Somalia-style fracturing and rule by competing jihadist warlords. One thing is for sure: Trump will inherent dealing with an absolute tragic mess in Syria, the heartland of the Middle East, upon his opening days in office.

    I excerpt this bland statement, Not saying “we will fight to the death for Syria”: Gilbert Doctorow: Transcript of Press TV panel discussion on Syrian crisis, 6 December
    The trilateral meeting of the foreign ministers of Iran, Iraq and Syria had three messages. First, a message of support to the nation and government of Syria in their fight against Takfiri terrorist groups, which are carrying out attacks in Syria as part of an American-Israeli conspiracy. Second message is that the threat of terrorism in Syria is a threat to the whole region and resurgence of terrorist groups like Daesh can endanger other regional countries.
    Third message is that there should be no discrimination in fighting terrorism and fighting terrorists in Syria is an international obligation. Therefore, countries that are silent regarding the spread of terrorism in Syria are supported, are responsible and must answer why they only fight terrorists where it serves their interests and ignore them at other places. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2024/12/07/transcript-of-press-tv-panel-discussion-on-syrian-crisis-6-december/

    Jihadists Reach Outskirts Of Damascus Amid Likely Transition Of Power Deal, Assad’s Fate Uncertain
    ​ There are widespread reports that jihadist forces under Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and which are backed by Turkey have entered key districts of Homs in central Syria, and other convoys have already reached the outskirts of Damascus.
    ​ Very little fighting has actually taken place, with the Syrian Army peeling back from position after position, and with heavy equipment including tanks seen being transported to the capital or in other instances to the coast. ZeroHedge’s contacts in Damascus strongly suggest a transition of power deal has already been made.
    External discussions are centered in Doha, and some premature and unverified reports have claimed President Bashar al-Assad has already flown out of the country; however, Syrian state SANA on Saturday sought to refute these reports, saying he is still in Damascus.
    ​ Iranian advisers and IRGC officers have departed Damascus. This also partly explains why Syrian national forces have not put up much of a fight.
    ​ Unverified social media reports further say that anti-Assad forces have essentially been able to walk into suburban or countryside areas of the capital with no resistance. Again, what points to the likely reality of a secret deal which allows Assad’s safe exit and that of his top officials is the fact that all of this is happening without much bloodshed.​..
    ..Whatever happens next, it is becoming clear that the Baathist Syrian state under the Assad family, which goes back to 1970 when Hafez Assad first emerged in power, will never be the same again – and is coming to a fast end.
    ​ Many Christian, Alawite, and Sunni ruling families in the capital area are fleeing to the Lebanese border, not waiting around to take their chances under Taliban-style rule, despite dubious claims that HTS plans to respect ‘diversity’ and pluralism.​..
    ..Regional war correspondent Elijah Magnier observes, “It looks like what will remain of the old Syria will be limited to Homs, for now, and on longer term Latakia – Tartous only. Lebanon should think about defended its borders. People in Damascus should think of their future in the next 24-48 hours.” https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/jihadists-reach-outskirts-damascus-amid-likely-transition-power-deal-assads-fate

    ​ Europe’s center is not holding

    ​ Finian Cunningham, The elitist tyranny of “Western democracy” is exposed and crumbling
    ​ The visit to China this week by German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock was another revealing fiasco. The obsessively anti-Russia Baerbock landed in Beijing not to prioritize improving trade relations with the European Union’s biggest global partner but rather to browbeat China with tedious allegations that it was helping Russia’s war effort in Ukraine…
    ..Understandably, the Chinese authorities were not pleased by Baerbock’s insolence and gave her short shrift. She was snubbed by China’s foreign minister Wang Yi not affording a customary joint press conference after more than three hours of discussions. In a separate statement, China again rejected claims that it was aiding Russia militarily in Ukraine…
    ​..The entire European Union has been captured by Atlanticist elites who have imposed policies that serve hegemonic Western interests and not the interests of ordinary citizens. That’s a definition of treason.
    ​ France’s President Emmanuel Macron, Germany’s Chancellor Olaf Scholz and European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen are some of the other bought-and-paid-for politicians who embody the Atlanticist tyranny. Former Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, who is now NATO secretary-general (sinecures and pay-offs are us), and Polish Premier Donald Tusk are other examples. The feeble Danish, Finnish, Swedish and Baltic leaders are also part of the U.S. vassals club.
    ​ Imbued with elitist ideology and deep-seated Russophobia, seduced by bribery, or coerced by the CIA blackmail, all these political prostitutes have been played to betray the interests of European citizens and to make life for the masses incredibly harsh. Russian energy has been cut off leaving European economies shattered. Germany is the most salient case in point where its vital auto industries are collapsing due to higher energy costs.
    ​ Another absurd elitist puppet is Kaja Kallas, the former Estonian Premier, who is now the European Union’s foreign minister, taking over from that other Atlanticist tool, Josep Borrell. On her first day in office this week, Kallas visited Kiev to pledge more financial and military aid for the corrupt NeoNazi regime. That’s right. She goes to a NeoNazi regime whose expired president canceled elections, imprisons opposition politicians, censors critical, independent media, and forces military conscription on citizens who want the conflict with Russia to end. Don’t you think Kallas would have been better visiting the EU’s biggest trade partner, China, to repair relations?
    ​ While in Kiev, Kallas coordinated with Germany’s Baerbock in Beijing by repeating baseless condemnation of China for its strategic partnership with Russia.​ https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/12/06/the-elitist-tyranny-of-western-democracy-is-exposed-and-crumbling/

    Rapid Transition https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/rapid-transition

    To spill the beans up front, it looks as if Russia and Iran are not going to be investing blood in the Assad government, which has been deserted by most military units, already. There appears to be a negotiated transition of power underway to the rebranded ISIS >> HTS “moderate terrorists” with a much improved PR department and management structure. Christians and other non-Sunni groups are fleeing for their lives to Lebanon. Other armies are also in play. This is just beginning.

    ​ Within the context of Russia’s ongoing information offensive, we now have the 30-minute CNN interview with Russia’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sergei Ryabkov which came out a day ago in its full version.
    ​ This interview is outstanding in every way. It is especially valuable for explaining Russia’s disparagement of what we know of Trump’s plans for ending the war very quickly by use of threats and blandishments to the leaders of Russia and Ukraine. Per this official Russian position, a settlement is possible only if the core security concerns of Russia are addressed, meaning a settlement addressing the European security architecture and not merely a ceasefire, a frozen conflict, and other nonsense contained so far in what the Trump entourage is touting…
    ..First, let me remind you that Sergei Ryabkov is a fluent English speaker who spent more than three years in Washington as an advisor to the Russian ambassador (2003-2005). As his career progressed, he served as director of the ministry’s department on cooperation with Europe. Later as Deputy Minister from 2008, Ryabkov has had responsibility for arms control and non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. This is to say that his long-time work experience is directly relevant to the present crisis situation between Russia and the Collective West that is being played out in Ukraine.
    Ryabkov is the official who crafted and presented the ultimatum to NATO in December 2021 over the need to roll back the NATO European presence to what it was at the end of the Cold War, before the alliance expanded eastward under Bill Clinton. The refusal early in the new year by Washington and Brussels to enter into negotiations over the Russian demands led directly to the launch of the Special Military Operation and invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, with Russia determined to win by force of arms what it could not achieve by diplomacy.​ https://gilbertdoctorow.substack.com/p/cnn-interview-with-russian-deputy

    ​John Helmer drills into Ryabkov’s position. JCS CHIEF GENERAL CHARLES BROWN JUST PROVED THAT NOTHING SHORT OF UKRAINE’S SURRENDER IS NEGOTIABLE WITH THE US — THAT’S CAPITULATION, NOT NEGOTIATION
    The source believes “the talks will work differently. The Russians will come to the table with the December 2021 draft treaty. Everyone has forgotten that.” But not Putin in his June 14 speech. “Let us recall the idea of a European security treaty, which we proposed in 2008. In December 2021, a memorandum from the Russian Foreign Ministry was submitted to the United States and NATO, addressing the same issues. However, all our repeated attempts (it is impossible to list them all) to convince our partners, as well as our explanations, appeals, warnings and requests, met with no response. Western countries, confident not so much in the righteousness of their cause as in their power and ability to impose whatever they wish on the rest of the world, simply disregarded other perspectives. At best, they proposed discussions on less significant matters (that did little to resolve the actual problems), or matters that only benefitted the West.”
    ​ What the source means — also what Putin meant on June 14; what Ryabkov has announced again; and what Gerasimov intended to test when he telephoned Brown — remains the fundamental Russian position: the Americans, they believe, represent nothing but deceit: the US cannot be trusted to negotiate in good faith or honour its undertakings. Accordingly, on the battlefield its resources, arms and proxies must be defeated, the source emphasizes. Only then can there be negotiations on end-of-war terms for the Ukrainian territory remaining after military capitulation. For there to be any hope of an agreement which the Americans will not aim to subvert, the US must be subordinated to an international framework of Europe-wide security. This is what the draft treaties spell out in comprehensive detail. Read the draft treaties for the US and for NATO of December 17, 2021, here, along with a line by line analysis.
    ​ On end of war terms in the Ukraine, the Moscow source says “there is a sequence which the westerners haven’t mentioned yet. It will start with [Vladimir] Zelensky’s resignation and an election for a government in Kiev. Russians will give a sigh of relief if Trump ensures a new election. This process could last six months. Everything else follows from there. For Russia’s economic security there must be the restoration of Nord Stream and the lifting of sanctions on Swift and on restoring Russian airline connectivity. There’s no point if we achieve the goals of the SVO [Special Military Operation] militarily and do not require the dismantlement of sanctions. We aren’t winning this war against the Americans on the Ukraine front in order to let them defeat us on the other fronts they have chosen to fight us.”​ https://johnhelmer.net/jcs-chief-general-charles-brown-just-proved-that-nothing-short-of-ukraines-surrender-is-negotiable-with-the-us-thats-capitulation-not-negotiation/#more-90788

    ​ Orban blames Biden for Ukraine conflict
    ​ US interference triggered the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said. His comments come after Moscow accused Washington of lacking “common sense and restraint” in its approach to the conflict…
    ..”America is one of the main players in this war. Without America, this war would never have happened. Ukraine would not have been able to resist without America’s support,” the prime minister said, as quoted by the Magyar Nemzet newspaper.
    ​ According to official figures, as of September 30, Washington had allocated a total of nearly $183 billion in aid for Ukraine, with $130.1 billion committed and $86.7 billion disbursed.
    ​ Current US President Joe Biden wants to increase the scale of the conflict, Orban claimed, while President-elect Donald Trump is “pro-peace.”​https://swentr.site/news/608839-orban-blames-biden-ukraine-conflict/

    ​ Hungary Vows to Block EU Budget Draft Unless Frozen Funds Released
    ​ The European Union withheld some 7.5 billion euros worth of payments to Hungary from the shared budget in September 2022 over alleged rule-of-law shortcomings, but Budapest’s blocking of EU funding for Ukraine’s war effort prompted Brussels to release some of the funds to Hungary in December.
    ​ Hungary will veto the European Union’s next seven-year budget draft unless it receives all blocked funds from the bloc’s budget, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Friday.​ https://sputnikglobe.com/20241206/hungary-vows-to-block-eu-budget-draft-unless-frozen-funds-released-1121106942.html

    Doctorow has this now:

    My experience as a talking head on the Syrian crisis for WION, India’s premier global broadcaster


    The news coming out of Syria suggests that the regime of Bashar al-Assad is in retreat and may lose the match. Today’s Daily Telegraph in the U.K. informs us that he has evacuated his family to Moscow. The BBC insists that the country’s third largest city, Homs, will be the next major city to fall to the rebels following closely on the loss of Aleppo and Hama. Now Damascus itself appears to be their next prey.

    There are also reports that the Russians have moved their naval ships out to sea from their base in the port of Tartus. Sergei Lavrov was asked about this today by journalists who were following him during his visit to Qatar, and he confirmed the ships’ departure but said it was for participation in military exercises in the Mediterranean. That answer does not raise confidence that the Russians will try hard this time to prevail in Syria.

    Thanks for putting effort into chasing the Assad-fast-fade story jb-hb. I appreciate your efforts, and it is good form to look shit up, rather than to just react. This moved fast overnight.
    I had looked at the Orlov interview with Nima. Orlov looked and sounded worse than usual, and running on fumes… He’s not well, and he was badly off-target.
    I had found the ZH story when it came up, and considered it confirmatory to Dima’s take at Military Summary.
    Gilbert Doctorow has a transcript up with a statement from the meeting of foreign ministers of Iraq, Iran and Syria, which says nothing, certainly not that Iran or Iraq will defend Syria:

    Transcript of Press TV panel discussion on Syrian crisis, 6 December
    The trilateral meeting of the foreign ministers of Iran, Iraq and Syria had three messages. First, a message of support to the nation and government of Syria in their fight against Takfiri terrorist groups, which are carrying out attacks in Syria as part of an American-Israeli conspiracy. Second message is that the threat of terrorism in Syria is a threat to the whole region and resurgence of terrorist groups like Daesh can endanger other regional countries.
    Third message is that there should be no discrimination in fighting terrorism and fighting terrorists in Syria is an international obligation. Therefore, countries that are silent regarding the spread of terrorism in Syria are supported, are responsible and must answer why they only fight terrorists where it serves their interests and ignore them at other places. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2024/12/07/transcript-of-press-tv-panel-discussion-on-syrian-crisis-6-december/

    It looks like there will be a lot by tomorrow.

    ​ Full Lavrov-Tucker Interview: US & Russia Need To Cooperate ‘For The Sake Of The Universe’
    Tucker Carlson: Minister Lavrov, thank you for doing this. Do you believe the United States and Russia are at war with each other right now?
    ​ Sergey Lavrov: I wouldn’t say so. And in any case, this is not what we want. We would like to have normal relations with all our neighbors, of course, but generally with all countries especially with the great country like the United States. And President Vladimir Putin repeatedly expressed his respect for the American people, for the American history, for the American achievements in the world, and we don’t see any reason why Russia and the United States cannot cooperate for the sake of the universe.
    ​ Tucker Carlson: But the United States is funding a conflict that you’re involved in, of course, and now is allowing attacks on Russia itself. So that doesn’t constitute war?
    ​ Sergey Lavrov: Well, we officially are not at war. But what is going on in Ukraine is that some people call it hybrid war. I would call it hybrid war as well, but it is obvious that the Ukrainians would not be able to do what they’re doing with long-range modern weapons without direct participation of the American servicemen. And this is dangerous, no doubt about this.
    ​ We don’t want to aggravate the situation, but since ATACMS and other long-range weapons are being used against mainland Russia as it were, we are sending signals. We hope that the last one, a couple of weeks ago, the signal with the new weapon system called Oreshnik was taken seriously.
    ​ In the context of these statements he invoked the undesired and catastrophic possibility of the standoff between Russia and NATO entering nuclear territory:
    ​ “The message which we wanted to se​nd in testing, in real action, this hyper sonic system is that we will be ready to do anything to defend our legitimate interest. We hate even to think about war with the United States which will take nuclear character… [but] since some people in Washington … seem to be not very capable to understand [Russia’s interests], we will send additional messages if they don’t draw necessary conclusions.”
    ​ And other interesting moment came when the top Russian diplomat outlined his country’s motives in Ukraine vs. Washington’s…
    ​ “They fight to maintain global hegemony over every region, while we fight for our legitimate security interests. Senator Lindsey Graham even said Ukraine’s rare earth metals must not be left to Russia—openly admitting their goal is resource exploitation. They support a regime willing to give away natural and human resources. We fight for the people whose ancestors built and developed these lands for centuries.”
    ​ “In any case, this is not what we wanted,” he elsewhere said on the question of war. “We would like to have normal relations with all our neighbors—but generally, with all countries, especially a great country like the United States.”
    …”We don’t see any reason why Russia and the United States cannot cooperate together for the sake of the universe,” Lavrov emphasized in a key moment.​ https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/full-lavrov-carlson-interview-us-russia-need-cooperate-sake-universe

    NATO BRIICS Nihilistic Omni-War https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/nato-briics-nihilistic-omni-war

    The “Syrian Civil War” began in March of 2011, essentially because Syria would not facilitate passage of a natural gas pipeline from Qatar to Europe, to marginalize Russia and Iran in that important energy-supply trade, a Pipeline war by proxy mercenaries, funded and supplied by the CIA, Qatar, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Saudi Arabia has withdrawn support now.
    After 2015, when Russia intervened to save Syria, there were 5 years of war where the Syrian Arab Army fought Turkish, Kurdish/American, ISIS and Israeli forces to a point of ceasefire, with foreign backed forces encamped upon the oilfields and best farmland of Syria, where they have been preparing a major offensive since Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022. That has now been sprung, after Ukrainian trainers taught the Salafist mercenaries how to use reconnaissance and attack drones against fixed positions, in lightening-advance strikes.
    The “realpolitik” of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), formerly Nusa Front, has been facilitated by Israel, Qatar and NATO countries, making deals ahead of time to advance into cities rapidly, without any resistance from local power-brokers. Syrian Arab Army forces have had to retreat and retreat, abandoning cities without resistance, their communications completely blacked-out by electronic interference, unprepared for this kind of warfare. They have to hold the line at Homs, or Syria will be cut off from the Mediterranean, and Russia may lose their base at Tartus. This is existential for Syria, for Hezbollah and the Resistance Axis, and for Iran, just as it is also a last sprint for battle-fatigued and over-extended Israeli military forces.
    Russia and Iran will supposedly sign their mutual defense pact about the time that Trump takes office, but they will already have to save Syria in this next week or so. Airstrikes are not doing it against this massive, well-planned, well prepared and funded, motorized push to overrun Syria, while Russia and Hezbollah are otherwise busily occupied. elsewhere.
    Iran has sent special forces advisors, and will need to send ground forces rapidly, but also knows that they are expected by Israel and the US, and will be hit hard. If Iran escalates “too hard”, then Israel will draw in the US directly against Iran, as is their long term strategic plan. Neocons in the US seem to want this, and see their chances at their kind of “success” rapidly fading in coming weeks, if they do not act decisively to create this major war, which Trump will have to accept as an existing fact. How much advanced air-defense, of the S400 and Iranian counterparts variety, will Iran be able to bring into play against the Israeli air force? It will be vulnerable, but necessary to the effort.
    What more can Russia do? Russia has drone and electronic warfare expertise, but is using all of that to advance rapidly in Novorussiya (Eastern Ukraine). The mutual defense treaty which Russia and North Korea signed went into actual effect Wednesday. (I didn’t know that it had a start-timer on it.) That does open the door to North Korean troops helping out against the Ukrainian forces which invaded Russia, and are having a hard time holding territory, while taking heavy losses.
    This is also existential for the western Banking + NATO empire, which makes this into World War-3, whatever specific forms it may take as it progresses. European and US arms of various sorts are already badly depleted, and production has never been able to approach battlefield needs in the Ukrainian war-of-attrition in men, tanks, drones, missiles and artillery shells. Draining Russia into the Mideast is clearly appealing, and capturing Syria would cut the axis-of-resistance into pieces without connections and supply lines. Can Iranian supply lines to Hezbollah be definitively cut before Salafist mercenaries, who have no real home, are exhausted? The NATO-proxy blitzkrieg-with-drones-and-electronic-warfare has not been impeded yet.
    Time is very short to stop this decisive ground invasion. This is bound to escalate rapidly, of necessity all-around. Both sides, BRIICS and US/Israel/NATO are fully-committed.
    Will China get involved? Now would be the time to supply a bunch of drones and operators…

    Here is Pepe’s fresh article, which he mentions in the interview. Pepe Escobar: The Syria Tragedy and the New Omni-War
    ​ Until recently, a serious geopolitical working hypothesis was that West Asia and Ukraine were two vectors of the standard Hegemon modus operandi, which is to incite and unleash Forever Wars. Now both wars are united in an Omni-War.
    ​ A coalition of Straussian neo-cons in the US, hardcore revisionist Zionists in Tel Aviv and Ukrainian neo-nazi shades of grey is now betting on a Final Confrontation – with several overtones ranging from expanding lebensraum to provoking the Apocalypse.​ What stands in their way is essentially two of the top BRICS: Russia and Iran.
    ​ China, self-protected by their collective lofty dream of “community of a shared future for mankind”, warily watches on the sidelines, as they know that at the end of the road, the true “existential” war by the Hegemon will be against them.
    ​ Meanwhile, Russia and Iran need to mobilize for Totalen Krieg. Because that’s what the enemy is launching.​..​
    ..The problem is that freezing the war in 2020, with direct implication by Russia, Iran and (reluctantly) Turkiye, did not solve the “moderate rebel” problem. Now they’re back – in full force, supported by a vast Rent-a-Jihadi mob, with NATOstan Intel behind them.
    Some things never change.
    2012. Jake Sullivan, then an aide to Hillary Clinton: “AQ [al-Qaeda*] is on our side in Syria.”
    2021. James Jeffrey, special envoy to Syria under Trump (2018-2020): “HTS [Hayat Tahrir al-Sham*] is an asset to the US’s strategy in Idlib.”
    There could not be better timing for the revival of the HTS “asset”. HTS if filling an enormous void; beware when that happens in West Asia. Russia is fully concentrated on Ukraine. Hezbollah suffered heavily from Tel Aviv’s bombings and serial killing. Tehran is fully concentrated on how to deal with Trump 2.0.​ https://sputnikglobe.com/20241206/pepe-escobar-the-syria-tragedy-and-the-new-omni-war-1121108341.html

    The most comprehesive study on Vax DNA sails through peer review.
    ​ There are several aspects of this paper that are worth reviewing in detail. The paper not only settles some of the methods debate ongoing in the field regarding how to best quantitate the DNA in these vaccines, but it also transfects HEK cells with the vaccines and demonstrates the spike expresses for longer than 7 days and it doesn’t stay parked on the cell membrane. It get packaged and into exosomes and presumably exported all over the body.
    ​ This is an important finding as exosomes are exhaled and exported to the surface of the skin. This has major implications for the shedding story. If these exosomes contain plasmids, then the gig is up. That implies transmissible and potentially replication competent DNA that encodes spike protein and SV40 components.​ https://anandamide.substack.com/p/the-most-comprehesive-study-on-vax

    Steve Kirsch, Australian excess deaths are highly correlated with the number of booster vaccinations
    Booster shots correlated strongly with excess deaths. Changing the number of unvaccinated people didn’t change the excess deaths. Who would have guessed?​ Executive summary
    This paper, The correlation between Australian Excess Deaths by State and Booster Vaccinations, published in the peer reviewed scientific literature in July 2024, showed:
    ​ a strong correlation between the number of booster shots, total vaccinations, and recent vaccination relative to excess deaths
    the more shots, the more COVID cases
    ​ the booster shots kill approximately 1 person per 1,182 which validates our estimates of 1 per 1,000 killed by the shots.​ https://kirschsubstack.com/p/australian-excess-deaths-are-highly

    In 1996, Henry Lamb exposed the UN’s plan to take over the world using a book the UN had published the year before. The title of the book is ‘Our Global Neighbourhood’.
    ​ Written by 28 “experts” the book describes a global taxation scheme to fund the UN’s operations; a standing UN army; an Economic Security Council; UN authority over the global commons, expanded authority for the Secretary-General and much more.

    ​”Death Eaters”? JK Rowling Got thousands of threats of murder, rape and violence
    ​ “I’ve been sent thousands of threats of murder, rape and violence. A trans woman posted my family’s home address with a bomb-making guide. My eldest child was targeted by a prominent trans activist who attempted to doxx her and ended up doxxing the wrong young woman. I could write a twenty thousand word essay on what the consequences have been to me and my family, and what we’ve endured is NOTHING compared to the harm done to others.​”
    ​ “By standing up to a movement that relies on threats of violence, ostracisation, and guilt-by-association, all of us have been smeared and defamed, but many have lost their livelihoods. Some have been physically assaulted by trans activists. Female politicians have been forced to hire personal security on the advice of police.​” https://www.independentsentinel.com/jk-rowling-sent-thousands-of-threats-of-murder-rape-and-violence/

    ​ Swansea mother ‘traumatised’ by arrest under Terrorism Act
    Emma Kamio describes ‘abuse’ of act after daughter’s alleged involvement in action against Israeli arms company
    ​ Kamio said she was initially taken to Swansea police station on 6 August and then to Bristol. She said her daughter Leona, 29, who lives in London, was brought from a different police station in Bristol and both were put in cages in the back of van, from which they could not see each other, for a high-speed blue-lights journey.
    ​ “I can’t tell you how terrifying that was,” Kamio said. “I just had one hand on the panel and my foot up against the front to brace myself, because there was no lap strap or seatbelt, and all I kept thinking was one wrong move and my [other] children lose their mother and sister in one hit. Just hearing a blue light and a siren [now], my whole stomach is back to that 120mph down the motorway.”
    ​ She said the cell in Newbury that she was initially placed in for two days had “the last occupant’s old dried faeces encrusted around the toilet”, and she was searched every time she left the cell (as was the cell) and again when she re-entered.​..
    ​..“I knew I was going into shock,” she said. “I was fine for a couple of days and then I noticed I was shaking, I couldn’t stand. You feel like an animal in a cage once they take your belongings off you, that’s the only way I could describe it.​”
    ​ “They took five days to ascertain that I was innocent. I was eventually released without charge, without my belongings and without an apology, left on the streets of Newbury in my scrubs.”​ https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/dec/02/swansea-mother-traumatised-by-arrest-under-terrorism-act

    Patel wants to go after corruption in upper management, not investigators. Influential retired FBI leader says agents back Kash Patel as next director: ‘He’s the right fix’
    “This guy is completely and 100% qualified to run that organization. He’s what’s needed today. He’s the right fix,” retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent Jeff Danik told Just the News in a wide-ranging interview Monday.
    ​ While Democrats and news media critics have suggested that Patel was selected to be a loyalist seeking revenge on Trump foes, Danik noted Patel’s extensive career experience, which includes stints as a federal public defender, federal prosecutor, counterterrorism director at the National Security Council, senior counsel to the House Intelligence Committee and chief of staff to both the Defense Secretary and the Director of National Intelligence.
    ​ “He has the correct balance, in my view, having been there for almost 30 years,” Danik said of Patel. “He has the correct balance of prosecutor, which is what we do. We feed the prosecution tube. Defense attorney, so the other side of that coin. Intelligence, the intelligence agencies, which is a key element to the FBI’s either success or failure.​” “And then also, I think this is personal, that he’s been a victim himself of the system,” Danik said.​ https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/all-things-trump/influential-retired-fbi-leader-says-agents-back-kash-patel-next
