Listened to Brian Berletic and his friend Angelo. (John Day mentioned this vid in prev. thread.)
They see Hamas as a ‘radical group’ similar to the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Quaida, ISIS, Azov battalion, etc. i.e. as, in some *important* measure, set up, encouraged, funded, directed and piloted by the US. (I would call that USuk, specially in the case of Israel.)Hamas, in short, is acting with extreme violence to provoke Israel into all-out war in Gaza (don’t remember right now what they say about the W bank, not much in any case) so that Isr. kills off the Pals there and takes that mini strip of territory, finally achieving part of its ‘aims’…
In this vid, and in many other ‘analyses’, the Hamas attack is seen as a ‘version of’ 9/11, the pundits seeing 9/11 either as a false flag, or as ‘real’, no matter (which is odd), it serves to justify a horrendous counter-reaction. I posted previous, it was quite different, though of course there are similarities. Say, a few false reports of babies murdered, women raped (note, not on 9/11), real reports of women and children killed, here we have unlucky ravers, and many dead, used to justify an all out genocidal attack on a whole area, a whole ppl, etc. (Note, 14K mostly civilians many women and children killed in the Donbass don’t count..)

I listened to the G. Diesen, Alistair Crooke, A. Mercouris vid. While doing cooking, maybe I missed some points, nuances.
Crooke gives a summary of actions at the Al-Asqa Mosque, going back to the first Indifada. Plus his contacts with the Sharon Gvmt. at the time. He elevates it to a vitally symbolic site (rightly so, but what is the weight?), and points out that just recently 800 radical settlers stormed the Mosque. (Looking into that I saw many reports that said, fake news.)
One interesting remark, he reports that Sharon said when America (US) is weak, we can establish Israel on Israeli land (trad. land includes the W bank, etc.) 1H. 20 mins. I listened to about 3/4.

The implication (as I interpret + amplify it..) is that USuk loved and gifted their outpost Isr., manipulated it into hating Ayrabs / Muslims (funding will do the job), creating a divided, ‘apartheid’ society, always in ‘tension’ and ‘opposition, hate’, thus both parties are easily manipulated, and one (or another) can be spear-headed to act in one or another direction.
Mearsheimer gives a different slant on history of Isr-Arab relations. 12 Oct. 26 mins w. Judge Napolitano.
History of Isr. is like a Roscharch test, pick and choose, anything goes.
Macron has stamped VERBOTEN on pro-Palestine demos. Some are taking place nonetheless. These demos are reminiscent of the Gilets Jaunes, in the noise, cries, methods used by the ppl and the POLICE. While the GJ demos were repressed, viciously I might add, the demos were not illegal, as they were run by F workers and pertained to internal matters. 3 mins, in F, “We are all Palestinians” is the slogan adopted.
I had a terrible feeling when Hamas attacked Isr. What good would come of it, the only hope (as I posted before) would be to draw in others (Hezbollah, Iran, possibly Turkey..)
Paul Craig Roberts (top post) *speculates* that Hamas was spurred – infiltrated – manipulated to attack viciously, thus providing an excuse for Isr. and Net-yahoo to finish off the Pal. problem via whatever means, taking territory, killing off the natives, etc.
PCR makes an analogy with 9/11 (security services / intell / etc. ‘stood down’, in a typical false flag) but that is not a good comparison. 9/11 was a devastating attack (ppl died, yes, horrible) run by a small-ish Kabal who risked nothing. (Narrativ Kontrol.)
Hamas fighters – thousands, all motivated, can’t be compared to 19 shadowy mythical figures with box-cutters on hand.
Note, killing ppl via far-off (as seen on TV) explosion / demolition / air-plane downings, all of which can be ‘manipulated’ in the official accounts and news, is not comparable to going out on the street and murdering civilians, women and children, leaving their bodies on the ground, and taking hostages, threatening to cut their heads off.
The former is movie-like, meme-prepared since a long time, it is distant, yet horrific it is felt, ppl’s hearts and minds are affected.
The relatives of the dead… looked insincere to me at the time, but who knows…

PCR (ok! a short post) doesn’t mention that the diversion of attention away from the investment, funding, commitment, etc. to Zelensky as the installed puppet in UKR, by an attack on the Most Holy Israel supported endlessly by the ‘Collective West’ – > is working fine with the MSM in concert…
Oroboros, that painting supposedly by Rothko announced as sold for 46 Million Dollaris doesn’t resemble Rothko paintings at all, imho it is a shoddy, even in-your-face ‘fake’, or let’s say a *pastiche* to be … hmm hmm nods head with high brows, mild —> following that all up would take too much energy.
Yes, the art-world is a vehicle for ‘legal looking’ financial shenanigans, in a huge way.
Note the crude yellow and bright blue (neither typical of Rothko), kind of clashing, not melding or complimentary in color, disposition – are an inversion of the Ukrainian Flag.
About Israel, the Palestinians on their own cannot prevail.
The question is, who will join, support, them? Or, what other plots exist, what are the for-now unknown plans that might have been set up? Hezbollah, Hamas, Jihadists? Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Egypt? A mix, what?
For now what I’m *guessing* -> it doesn’t look good for the Palestinians (I’m on their side…) No ‘big power’ or ‘force’ will go out on a limb. Not now. (Imho.)
One effect will be to focus attention on the ME (USukisr vs. ‘Ayrab terrorists’) and the endless Isr-Arab fights drawing attention, funding, support away from Ukraine, which will serve to cover up the fact that US-NATO-UKRo fascists have lost to Russia and that the loss is irrevocable and Russia will dictate the terms of the settlement, after more attrition war, which will last as long as they plan.
re. prev. thread. —
J. Dore, mentioned several times (Dr D. ..) was invited to speak at the last UN Security Council, Sept. 2003. (via virtual link.)
Here he is, his speech is about Nordstream 2, he references Seymour Hersch, speaks about energy. 12 mins.
Danny Haiphong (you-tuber) spoke at the UN security council on NATO’s UKraine aid, Aug. 2023. 12 mins.
He was physically present, had a well prepared speech. His words: “I spoke at the latest convening of the UN Security Council on the dangers that Western arms to Ukraine poses to international peace and stability.”
What the opening of UN SC to outsiders like this means Idk for now.
John Day thanks for keeping us up with Simplicius etc. You posted,
Alain Soral, F + CH national, has been condemned about 20 times in France for ‘anti-semitism’ and other ‘speech’, ‘incitement to hatred’ etc. violations. (No physical violence). After many court cases, appeals, costing a bomb, etc. he moved to CH, to escape prison in F.
The Swiss case has been complicated as all such cases are. Imho the ‘speech’ veered between ‘insult’ (e.g. “you are a fat lesbian pig” is merely an insult in Swiss law) and incitement to hatred (“you are a … and all your kind deserves being locked up, sent away or worse”) which can fall under ‘incitement to hatred’, which btw is a very new law in CH (2020.)
CH resisted implementing such laws for a long time. This is the first time the law has lead to a condemnation. (! – Soral is perceived as a horrid evil creature, an internal enemy of France, etc.) Of course this is all BS and dancing around.
Soral used to be a darling of the F intellegentsia, is an intellectual who has published several books, dabbled in film, regularly appeared on MSM TV, etc. Politcally, he has been a Communist AND a National Front supporter, i.e. refuses to embrace the neo-liberal center. …wiki in Eng gives some flavor:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alain_Soral
an extract:
— In his book, Vers la féminisation? Démontage d’un complot antidémocratique, Alain Soral argues that women have always worked (in trade or agriculture, for example), and that housewives were mis-sold the idea of having their own careers by neoliberal capitalists. To him, feminism was invented by rich women and results in poor women working double “8 hours in the home and 8 hours at work” and would be better off just working in the home. Soral distinguishes two types of feminism: that of the “flippées” (“freaked-outs”), and that of the “pétasses” (“bitches”). Soral claims that the most problematic inequality is not between men and women, but between rich and poor, and that feminists, who generally come from the upper classes of society, attempt to distract attention from this struggle.
His ‘group’ is called – Egalité et Réconciliation – hugely popular.
Now this may seem like trivial local news from vassal countries to Americans, but it is very emblematic of what is going on around the world. ‘Law – fare’ on trivial issues is used to silence and eliminate adversaries.

well worth a watch.
Some keen classical music fans went to the Ambronay Music Festival (France), and were devastated when the main star, Baritone, whom they knew personally and admired, collapsed on stage in the middle of the performance, was shortly thereafter pronounced deceased.
They described to me (viva voce, in person, over dinner) the tragedy, the closing down of the show, the tweets, the reactions of the Soprano Lady, who freaked out, other performers, the audience’s leaving, and so on. One noted that the Baritone was playing the role of GOD / An Elder, and saw some symbolic significance there.
Nothing was said about the cause of death, there were no questions about why this Baritone died, he just collapsed! Horrific! So Terribly Sad!

Ukraine’s trans spokesperson issues death threats to Russian journalists

“Next week, the teeth of the Russian devils will gnash ever harder, and their rabid mouths will foam in uncontrollable frenzy as the world will see a favorite Kremlin propagandist pay for their crimes,” she said. “Russia’s war criminal propagandists will all be hunted down, and justice will be served as we in Ukraine are led on this mission by faith in God, liberty and complete liberation,” she pledged.
Ashton-Cirillo, a trans woman who made headlines in the US in 2021 with a story of her infiltration of the American right-wing group Proud Boys, was given the spokesperson position in Ukraine in early August.

France’s rejection in French-speaking Africa punishes 12 years of betrayal

“Nothing happens by chance in politics. The French don’t understand why French-speaking Africans suddenly reject them. They console themselves by accusing Russia of dark machinations. In reality, they are only reaping the rewards of what they have sown over the last 12 years. This has nothing to do with colonialism or Françafrique and everything to do with putting the French army at the service of U.S. strategy.”

Iraq’s Oil Industry. By Lowell Manning. 24th September, 2003.
“The United States of America, having invaded Iraq, is faced with a political quagmire and a commercial opportunity.
Recent efforts to enroll the United Nations to help pay the costs of the occupation and “reconstruction” are disingenuous.
Everything except for the oil industry is already up for grabs at fire sale prices. It’s the proposed WTO GATS revision and NAFTA all rolled into one except that US pro-consul Bremer and his unelected Council have a veto over every sale.
The veto ensures Iraq will be sold mainly to US firms, giving US permanent economic control of the country whatever the UN or EU want, think or say.
Money raised from the sales will go to offset US occupation costs, ostensibly to pay for “reconstruction” for which the US and UK are fully liable under international conventions.

Oroboros, that clip of Tedros G. (WHO Chief) says it all. Thx for that.
What hubris, just incredible.Science Direct Paper, Sept. 2023, purports to show that “Intelligent” ppl were far more likely to be vaccinated.
Results (abstract):
Adherent (vs. nonadherent) personnel presented higher GIS (mean 5.68 ± 1.84 vs. 4.72 ± 1.91) and MSS (median 26 (IQR 23–29) vs. 24 (IQR 19–26)), p < 0.001 for both. Higher intelligence was the strongest predictor for vaccine adherence (OR = 5.38, 95 %CI 5.11–5.67, p < 0.001). The probability for vaccine adherence increased in association with escalating GIS scores, with highest GIS females more likely to adhere to vaccination than same-level males (OR = 5.66, 95 %CI 5.09–6.28 vs. OR = 3.69, 95 %CI 3.45–3.94, respectively, p < 0.001 for both).
Medically fit service-members were approximately three times as likely to be adherent than volunteering personnel (OR = 2.90 (95 %CI 2.65–3.17) for administrative and OR = 2.94 (95 %CI 2.70–3.21) for combative fitness, p < 0.001 for both).
To boil it down, higher ‘intelligence’, as measured by a ‘General Intelligence Score’ is a v. strong predictor of vax-jab-me syndrome, and women are more susceptible to vax-jab-me syndrome than men — at equal ‘intelligence.’ ‘Physically fit ppl’ (as opposed to fat, unhealthy, etc. ppl) are also more prone to be keen jab-me-ers.
Imho this study was not badly done (leaving doubts about multiple correlations aside.) Meaning, I believe the results are correct within the confines of the paragdim, the enquiry. > The conclusions are obfuscatory folderol, that is another story.
GIS, general intelligence scores, particularly in ‘standard tests’ in the West, correlate highly with educational level, and thus also with income, wealth -> ownership (housing, land, savings, investments, etc). A Pygmy in his forest, a Carpenter in Bangladesh, etc. can be just as ‘intelligent’ – in a different context.
Thus GIS measures evidence richness and social capital, for being top of the heap, and the ppl who ‘score’ high on these kinds of measures are also those who are jab-me-ers. As they want, need, to keep in tune with their Masters, Partners, Contacts, who are controllers in various domains – Gvmt., Finance, Corps, and Big Pharma. They are thus very vulnerable to vax damage and will avoid at all costs acknowleging that.
On RFK, he says he may need to look at other alternatives.
(from top post Sept. 8.)
The DEMs will never allow any contest between RFK, any other figures, freaky, cool, well known for long, or whatever, vs. the instituted DEM party candidates => Senile Joe, or whatever other crappy persona, party hack, they pick.
The Dems are hanging on to huge financial benefits and being somehow still Admired (fakealorum about inclusion, etc.), and won’t give them up unless forced to via some kind blitzkrieg, wild unexpected happenings, etc.
They are arrogantly counting on controlling the voting mechanisms, tallying, to turn up the desired results, via all kinds of fraud and manipulations. They managed it recently (Trump – Biden) so no doubt that gives them confidence, rightly so.
So RFK will run as an independent, I guess that is what is meant ..? Trump may be by then be knocked out as a candidate (lawfare.)

On Kolomoisky “K”, UKR oligarch … charged with money laundering. (prev. top post.)
The UKR Oligarchs had sweet positions post-1991, grabbing and controlling assets incl. banking (as K did.) They went overboard, *high* on power, developed networks of control -> over land, industry, transport, media – as well as setting up private ‘armies’ (gangs..) plus, focus no. 1, control of Politics.
Zelensky was elected at the spurring and support of K (via media, TV show, etc.) To be a puppet.
They did not realise that branching out further, such as cozying up to foreign powers (Ex. Biden), as well as fighting amongst themselves (. ?), and other mistakes, would diminish their influence, hold, power.
K and others are now targets, enemies, of the US Corporate PTB, who aim to (and do already in part) control segments of UKR. ‘Local potentates’, such as K, are thus attacked, via a *drive against corruption* launched to eliminate competitors. Zelensky can only obey.
Just one reading…
COVID.
On August 5th 2023 a Japanese research team published a pre-print that appears to contain the most important and shocking revelations of the covid era.
Atsuki Tanaka and Takayuki Miyazawa, of Osaka Medical University and Kyoto University, wanted to trace the historical evolution of the omicron variant of SARS-CoV2 by studying viral sequences found “in the wild” and deposited in public databases.
In doing this they found around 100 separate omicron subvariants that could not conceivably have arisen through natural processes. The existence of these variants seems to provide definitive proof of large-scale lab creation and release of covid viruses.

Of course 10% is a kind of meaningless number…but never mind that…
When the first sanctions hit, Putin immediately signed a decree explicitly allowing parallel imports. E.g. Iphone is imported into Poland, a P. intermediary sends it along to Russia. (To block this the US would have to sanction some cos. in P. – which? how to enforce? .. etc.)
That the US imagines that it can affect what goods, commodities, ppl. etc. enter or leave another country was always fanciful and is now openly derided. The US was a main mover in this ‘globalisation’ of commerce scheme – and now.. Err what no?
No electronic chips for Russia? Bare-bock was recently on the TeeVee saying that the Russians are using chips from washing machines to power tanks (or whatever)! In past times the men in white coats would have quietly shepherded her into an ambulance…
So what we see re. the ‘sanctions’ is a blatant example of cultish hysterical decrees attempting to override reality. The terrifying part is that those spewing it all out appear to believe what they say will ‘hold’…

Related to “How much Do Mercenaries make in Ukraine?”
Lots of ‘rich’ Ukranians here! (Switz.) A parallel question is, how much it costs for men to leave the country, escape the draft?
News. Aug 2023, *Zelensky sacks 112 Regional Recruiters*, see e.g. Sydney M. Herald.
That Zelensky and his ‘Gvmt’ did not know about this corruption is fantastical. What happened, imho, is that some creepy / alarmed / flaming furious US entity ( > get more bodies to attack the Russkies) ordered Zel to clean this up.
As if firing ppl would help… the replacements will be more rapacious, if that even happens.
— The below is *anecdotal* from CH. —
In April – Aug 2022 (thereabouts) the price to leave UKR, cash to the border guards, was 5K Euros. Those who could scrape that up for a loved one / family member did so. Of course rich ppl just flew to Cyprus, the US, Germany, Switz, etc. (Leaving via the Donbass, other story, imho.)
Since then, the price has risen, to around 7 – 10 K Euros. Perhaps a typical ex. of biz drying up because of charging more, killing the biz? Idk…
Escaping the draft legally, another way. Fathers of 3 children under (afaik) 14 – 16 (or so?), were (are?) exempt re. the draft, under UKR law, and could thus leave the country with the kiddos.
This has lead to an Exodus with children in tow, some of them roped in, easy to organise .. one missing birth certif. for a one year old, etc. A form of child exploitation?
There were, are, other ways, as well. One man I spoke to became an int’l truck driver, and then abandoned his job and his truck in a European country applied for refugee status.
(mention of violent and unacceptable moves left off)
Yes, John Day, that is also why I wrote Rightio! .. case closed / end sarc.
I saw one title of an article describing the position, aims, of China, as
For Economic Growth and Sustainable Development(can’t find the link, search doesn’t turn it up) – typical for sure.
The two terms used to promote policies supposedly in harmony with them are contradictory. (Imho.) Both are buzz-word concepts that were coined in the West, ‘economic growth’ is a shoddy concept not well defined (means more exploitation of ressources for one..) and as for ‘sustainable devp’ it is a propaganda feel-good term used to promote investment / state support for certain industries / processes / products to the detriment of others, in shadowy back-room deals.

Enhancing Solidarity and Cooperation To Overcome Risks and Challenges And Jointly Build a Better World
(….)
Ten years ago here in South Africa, we BRICS leaders witnessed the birth of the BRICS Business Council. Since then, the Council has stayed true to its founding mission. It has seized opportunities to deepen cooperation, contributing to economic and social development of BRICS countries and helping sustain global economic growth.
Right now, changes in the world, in our times and in history are unfolding in ways like never before, bringing human society to a critical juncture.Should we pursue cooperation and integration, or just succumb to division and confrontation? Should we work together to maintain peace and stability, or just sleepwalk into the abyss of a new Cold War? Should we embrace prosperity, openness and inclusiveness, or allow hegemonic and bullying acts to throw us into depression? Should we deepen mutual trust through exchanges and mutual learning, or allow hubris and prejudice to blind conscience?
The course of history will be shaped by the choices we make. (…)
Rightio…this all sounds optimistic and ‘we hold a winning hand’..

A comment at Moon of Alabama by B.P.
Quote: Re ISIS:
I have read all issues of ISIS magazines Rumiyah and Dabiq. I have watched every video of ISIS while they were still easily available. I have read every book that I could find on ISIS.
And my conclusion?
ISIS does not exist.
Oh, sure, there are plenty of young Sunni men who imagine they are part of ISIS and who are willing to give their lives for it. But the organisation that they claim to be a part of, that they kill themselves for, that does not exist. ISIS is a tool, a fiction, invented by particular people in the Imperialist States of Amerikastan and the zionist entity. Its purpose is twofold:
1. To create a pretext for perpetual wars of colonial invasion and occupation and
2. To delegitimise genuine resistance movements like the Taliban.
If ISIS had been a real thing, it could and would have taken Baghdad when it was on the outskirts in 2014. It could and would have attacked the zionist entity. It could and would have attacked Saudi Barbaria, whose royal reprobates it kept attacking in its magazines. It did none of those things (in baby it apologised when a couple of its men fired on a zionist checkpoint in the occupied Golan). (….)
It is a Hollywood level fiction.

I read about 7-8 issues of Dabiq carefully back in the day, 2015 – 16 and concluded it was run by British professional publicists and had absolutely nothing to do with anyone on the ground.Bing offers some covers: https://tinyurl.com/mute4d8n
quick search > I was not able to turn up links to the mag. itself, only to ‘western’ and ‘israeli’ analysis, which is quite telling.
On, Medvedev (top post) and others who rumble on about a Civil War in the US.
Supposedly, a potential fight between Repubs, social conservatives, nationalists, Trump supporters — against Dems, ‘crazed’ socialists, globalists, pro-tranny shows, whatever ..
> Won’t happen, those who predict it rely on, opine, that US citizens on one / other Pol side in the artificial division which means nothing much, rep-dem, one third of pop. about identify as ‘independents’ — are ready to take up arms against others to prevail for what? Win what? Ex. loving Gay marriage? Stopping ppl coming in at the Mex border? I don’t think so.
What happens in such situations where society is breaking down, slowly to be sure, steadily nonetheless, is that Local powers arise and take control. In the US, that might be at State level, probably a good thing, but maybe hard to achieve, > break up of the USA into autonomous States, at the end point. More alarmingly, the rising power at local levels of Mafia types, Local Militias, Corporate Potentates, takes over, in patches here and there, gangs of one or another kind take over, citizens call on protection, etc. etc.
The Duran, Alexander Mercouris, speculates about the reasons for the downing of the Prigogine plane. 45 mins (a bit wordy..)
My comments. It was certainly a bomb, I should be more precise, some element or event inside the plane. I watched those witness videos and images of the debris. It was not brought down by any kind of projectile(s) from the outside. (Like MH17.) I’m not a military person or a plane accident investigator but this seems really obvious.
Prigo. was the famous man on the plane, and one should always recall that victim 1 may not have been the one targetted. (Skripals might be an example, that is a looong story.)
In this case, imho the target was Prigo himself / the right-hand man with him / WAGNER as a whole. I agree w. AM that Putin-the R. Gvmt. are most certainly not responsible (timing, other possible actions, etc. See also Dr. D. above.)
AM throws the whole affair into Int’l politics, and mentions France as a possible actor. This is absolutely ludicrous, F have no real reason and in any case couldn’t accomplish it imho, and the CIA is roughly in the same position. From a US pov Wagner made trouble for Putin, became an opponent, shamed him in public, even tried ‘to overthrow him’ with a ‘mutiny / insurrection’, drove him to make public accusations of treason, showed that Putin did not control his military forces, etc. – one might even argue that CIA funding went *TO* Prigo…
Imho this was an internal R affair. It smelled to me of implacable hatred, and coldly calculated revenge implemented on Wagner. By on the ground ppl -> need the intelligence, be familiar, ordinary figures, exploit the gaps in security, etc.
Revenge for the death of some number of Russian Pilots and support staff, quote (wiki):
At least thirteen Russian military personnel were killed. (…) inferred the number to potentially be as high as 29, based on an estimation of the number of personnel needed to operate all of the reportedly destroyed equipment.> Russian milit. perso. that attacked Wagner, were killed in riposte. A case of Russians attacking Russians…Can’t be forgiven…

Just one story-line, my take… Imho it is a better fit as compared to blaming Putin or the CIA.
These ‘internet’ influencers, Internet *Stars*, young, sexy, are struck by cancer (cause never mentioned) :
– ask for contributions to themselves
– promote contributions to ‘charities’ that promote cancer screening, treatment
– applaud the great / best treatment they receive from Big Med-Big Pharma …
thereby:
– endorsing all the structures, practises in place
– **normalising young healthy ppl being hit turbo cancers**
Of course, it is their living, they probably would not have enough money to pay even their rent if they quit. They are F-grade ‘reality show’ real-lie (sic) actors.

I didn’t know about Vivek, > top post.
Interesting. In the first part about 9/11, he names no-one, heh.
— Me: The two Arab guys who came to Los Angeles and were labelled ‘terrorists’ re. 9/11 were Hazmi and Mihdnar. They did not meet Al Bayoumi until later. Much of this was known at the time, and one can even read about it in official US docs, which do offer some ’facts’ (see link) which don’t (imho) unravel or explain anything much. Obfuscation, piling on details, conjectures, going back and forth in time (X was later arrested, etc.) fitting in with one story or another, etc. is the name of the game.
Later on, for decades, ppl can cherry-pick ‘facts’, ‘myths’, ‘interpretations’, etc. and spin all however they like.
Vivek mentions a court-case against KSA for compensation to 9/11 victims. Blaming the KSA was a strident Dem talking point.
(Imho, Bush Junior ‘won’ his election in part because of the Muslim vote, via. ‘conservative’ and ‘peace’ discourse, he flipped later..) The Dems of course skip geo-pol criticism of KSA by invoking ‘social’ criteria – women’s status, can’t drive, etc, superficial rah-rah gloss.

Vivek’s line is – Why is the Public seen as not being able to handle the truth?
Gimme the Hard Truth! (at 8.13)
Well, because the public, the populace, as he very well knows, counts for very little, or nothing, so no “truths” will be bruited to them.. So, no efforts, or attemps at action following these ‘truths’ will ever see the day. If any does (probably for other reasons or by accident..) they will not be tolerated by the US PTB and will be immediately repressed.
