FLASH TRAFFIC: GERMAN ARMY TANK CREW CAUGHT OPERATING TANK IN UKRAINE, ATTACKING RUSSIAN ARMY
World Hal Turner 23 September 2023
This is FLASH TRAFFIC: It appears World War 3 has officially begun. Saturday morning the Russian Army engaged a German-supplied Leopard Tank operating for the Ukraine army in Zaporozhye. The Russians hit the tank with an anti-tank guided missile. The tank blew up. The tank crew evacuated and were captured. The crew identified themselves as ACTIVE DUTY GERMAN ARMY TROOPS.
Thus, the actual Army of Germany has now been caught waging actual war against Russia inside Ukraine. The image above is the actual tank involved in the actual incident this morning, 23 September 2023.
Hal Turner Remark: It appears, on its face, NATO has just started World War 3; using the active-duty German Army to attack Russians.
More as I get it . . . .
UPDATE 10:14 AM EDT --
Details are emerging. It is now CONFIRMED a Russian Army reconnaissance team destroyed a German-supplied Leopard tank of the Ukrainian military but manned with a crew comprised of Bunderswehr soldiers. The Bunderswehr is the actual active duty Army of Germany.
This took place in Zaporozhye this morning.
A member of the actual Russian Recon team directly and personally involved in the incident has stated the following: "When we curbed another offensive and ATGM-ed [destroyed with an anti-tank guided missile] the Leopard, we moved out to the burned vehicle hoping to seize the 'tongue.' Then we saw that the crew's driver-mechanic was severely injured and the others were dead. Once he awoke, the mechanic started yelling 'nicht schießen' ["do not shoot" in German]," the head of the reconnaissance team said.
"The mechanic repeatedly stated that he was not a mercenary but a Bundeswehr serviceman, and that he and the rest of the crew were members of the same unit of the German army," the Russian fighter said, adding that while receiving medical aid, the German soldier named his brigade and its dislocation site.
The tank's driver died from wounds minutes after he was found despite efforts to save him.

Increase in activity seen at nuke test sites in US, Russia, and China
Russia, the United States and China have all built new facilities and dug new tunnels at their nuclear test sites in recent years, satellite images obtained exclusively by CNN show, at a time when tensions between the three major nuclear powers have risen to their highest in decades.
While there is no evidence to suggest that Russia, the US or China is preparing for an imminent nuclear test, the images, obtained and provided by a prominent analyst in military nonproliferation studies, illustrate recent expansions at three nuclear test sites compared with just a few years ago.
One is operated by China in the far western region of Xinjiang, one by Russia in an Arctic Ocean archipelago, and another in the US in the Nevada desert.
The satellite images from the past three to five years show new tunnels under mountains, new roads and storage facilities, as well as increased vehicle traffic coming in and out of the sites, said Jeffrey Lewis, an adjunct professor at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies.
“There are really a lot of hints that we’re seeing that suggest Russia, China and the United States might resume nuclear testing,” he said, something none of those countries have done since underground nuclear testing was banned by the 1996 Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. China and the US signed the treaty, but they haven’t ratified it.
Retired US Air Force Col. Cedric Leighton, a former intelligence analyst, reviewed the images of the three powers’ nuclear sites and came to a similar conclusion.
“It’s very clear that all three countries, Russia, China and the United States have invested a great deal of time, effort and money in not only modernizing their nuclear arsenals, but also in preparing the types of activities that would be required for a test,” he said.
Moscow has ratified the treaty, but Russian President Vladimir Putin said in February he would order a test, if the US moves first, adding that “no one should have dangerous illusions that global strategic parity can be destroyed.”
The expansions risk sparking a race to modernize nuclear weapons testing infrastructure at a time of deep mistrust between Washington and the two authoritarian governments, analysts said, though the idea of actual armed conflict is not considered imminent.
“The threat from nuclear testing is from the degree to which it accelerates the growing arms race between the United States on one hand, and Russia and China on the other,” Lewis said. “The consequences of that are that we spend vast sums of money, even though we don’t get any safer.”

Cancers Appearing In Ways Never Before Seen After COVID Vaccinations: Dr. Harvey Risch
September 23, 2023
Authored by Efthymis Oraiopoulos and Jan Jekielek via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
There is evidence that cancers are occurring in excess after people receive COVID-19 vaccinations, according to Dr. Harvey Risch.
Yale School of Public Health and Yale School of Medicine. His research has focused extensively on the causes of cancer as well as prevention and early diagnosis.
In an interview for EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders,” Dr. Risch said patients must now wait months, not weeks, to get an appointment at an oncology clinic in New York.
Problem here is difficulty in observing whether a vaccine can cause cancer, because cancer usually takes time to develop, Dr. Risch said. It can take anywhere from two years to 30 years, depending on the different types of cancer, from leukemia to colon cancer.
“What clinicians have been seeing,” said Dr. Risch, “is very strange things: For example, 25-year-olds with colon cancer, who don’t have family histories of the disease—that’s basically impossible along the known paradigm for how colon cancer works—and other long-latency cancers that they’re seeing in very young people.”
He said this is not how cancer normally develops.
“There has to be some initiating stimulus to why this happens,” he said.
Fighting Cancer
Dr. Risch said that in his opinion, cancer is something a healthy human body can fight and disable, as the non-normal cancerous cells are gobbled up when detected in a body with a functional immune system. If the immune system is compromised, however, it cannot cope with the task of neutralizing cancerous cells, and cancerous cells are left to multiply and grow, leading to symptoms of cancer.
“That’s the mechanism I think is most likely here,” Dr. Risch said. “We know that the COVID vaccines have done various degrees of damage to the immune system in a fraction of people who have taken them.”
That damage could translate to getting COVID more often, getting other infectious diseases, or getting cancer.
Another example Dr. Risch gave was breast cancer, which normally, if there is a remanifestation after surgical removal, the remanifestation occurs after two decades. However, vaccinated women are now seen to remanifest breast cancers in much shorter periods of time.
“Those are the initial signals that we’ve been seeing, and because these cancers have been occurring to people who were too young to get them, basically, compared to the normal way it works, they’ve been designated as turbo cancers,” Dr. Risch said.
“Some of these cancers are so aggressive that between the time that they’re first seen and when they come back for treatment after a few weeks, they’ve grown dramatically compared to what oncologists would have expected for the way cancer normally progresses,” he added.
“Be attuned to your body,” Dr. Risch recommended, for noticing any new signals the body might give.
Adverse Events After Vaccination
Dr. Risch also talked about the aspect of official medical agencies not recognizing someone as being vaccinated inside the first two weeks of vaccination. This happens, he said, because the medical agencies say that the effects of the vaccine need two weeks to start manifesting. Adverse effects occurring a few days after vaccinations were officially counted as health conditions manifesting in unvaccinated people, he said.
However, serious adverse events after receiving the vaccine have occurred within the first four days, Dr. Risch said. He said three-quarters of adverse effects are being recorded as happening to unvaccinated people.
The decision makers who were in charge during the pandemic “threw out the principles of public health six days into the pandemic and did the opposite of everything that we knew should be done for respiratory viruses,” he said.
One example was the denial of effective early treatment and unnecessary vaccinations, which show a “colossal failure of public health through this period,” he said.
Dr. Risch said that a lot of people are now less likely to be “propagandized” regarding COVID, and that news reports about a new variant that is going to take over the world in the next month are “propaganda to sell the next batch of vaccines coming out in a few weeks.”
“People are fed up with this and it’s going to be a lot more pushback,” he said.
Risks to Society
Dr. Risch said that while the individual risk of an adverse reaction to the vaccine is relatively low, once that risk manifests itself at a greater scale, when millions of people have received the vaccine, the result is that hundreds of thousands of people are left with injuries and serious adverse events that are often worse than the virus itself.
Dr. Risch’s opinion is that nobody should get vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine, as the new variants are mild and not life threatening. He has heard of a few hospitalizations that lasted for some days, but as most people had COVID in the past, they have some immunity to these new variants as well.
“There is no reason for people to be vaccinated now, to any degree,” he said.
He said COVID has become an illness similar to the flu in its degree of severity, and that propaganda to scare people is being pushed by the government on behalf of pharmaceutical companies to sell more vaccines.
“We live in social contact with each other and therefore spread low-level infections. This is part of human life that we take for granted and we try to treat it the best we can,” he said. “That’s how we should be managing this.”

Credit card losses are rising at the fastest pace since the Great Financial Crisis
Published Fri, Sep 22 202311:10 AM EDTUpdated Moments Ago

Michelle Fox @MFoxCNB
Goldman Sachs predicts credit card losses will continue to climb through the end of 2024/early 2025.
What is unusual is that the losses are accelerating outside of an economic downturn, the firm said.
Credit card losses currently stand at 3.63%, up 1.5 percentage points from the bottom.
Credit card companies are racking up losses at the fastest pace in almost 30 years, outside of the Great Financial Crisis, according to Goldman Sachs.
Credit card losses bottomed in September 2021, and while initial increases were likely reversals from stimulus, they have been rapidly rising since the first quarter of 2022. Since that time, it's an increasing rate of losses only seen in recent history during the recession of 2008.
It is far from over, the firm predicts.
Losses currently stand at 3.63%, up 1.5 percentage points from the bottom, and Goldman sees them rising another 1.3 percentage points to 4.93%. This comes at a time when Americans owe more than $1 trillion on credit cards, a record high, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
"We think delinquencies could continue to underperform seasonality through the middle of next year and don't see losses peaking until late 2024 / early 2025 for most issuers," analyst Ryan Nash wrote in a note Friday.
What is unusual is that the losses are accelerating outside of an economic downturn, he pointed out.
Of the past five credit card loss cycles, three were characterized by recessions, he said. The two that occurred when the economy was not in a recession were in the mid '90s and 2015 to 2019, Nash said. He used history as a guide to determine further losses.
"In our view, this cycle resembles the characteristics of what was experienced in the late 1990s and somewhat similar to the '15 to '19 cycle where losses increase following a period of strong loan growth and has seen similar pace of normalization thus far this cycle," Nash said.
History also shows that losses tend to peak six to eight quarters after loan growth peaks, he said. That implies the credit normalization cycle is only at its halfway point, hence the late 2024, early 2025 prediction, he said.
Nash sees the most downside risk for Capital One Financial, followed by Discover Financial Services

New Orleans declares state of emergency as saltwater creeps up drought-stricken Mississippi river and threatens drinking water for nearly 900,000 residents
A saltwater intrusion in the water supply that's pumped out of the Mississippi river is threatening the drinking water of nearly 900,000 residents
Water with high salinity levels can pose serious health risks to human if ingested, and if contaminated, it could be months before fresh water returns
Mayor LaToya Cantrell signed an emergency declaration for the City of New Orleans on Friday, in alignment with the Governor's Office

A saltwater intrusion in the water supply that's pumped out of the Mississippi river is threatening the drinking water of nearly 900,000 residents in Louisiana.
Water with high salinity levels can pose serious health risks to human if ingested, and if contaminated, it could be months before fresh water returns as long as the drought persists.
Mayor of New Orleans LaToya Cantrell declared a state of emergency due to the saltwater intrusion on Friday, in alignment with the Governor's Office.
'Unfortunately, we just haven't had the relief from dry conditions that we need,' Gov. John Bel Edwards said at a Friday news conference in New Orleans.
Many concerned households and business owners say they fear for their health, with some claiming they have had enough and are looking to move house.
Gov. Edwards provided an update on the saltwater intrusion in a press conference, along with state and local leaders, emergency officials and representatives from the US Army Corps of Engineers.
'You will stop drinking the water because it doesn't taste right, well before it becomes a danger to your health,' Dr. Joseph Kanter, State Medical Officer, said at the press conference.
The governor requested a federal emergency declaration to authorize immediate protection measures.
The wedge is a result of historically low rainwater in the Mississippi River basis. The fresh water typically flows downriver to push back salty water from the Gulf of Mexico, but the lack of fresh water has disrupted this system.
The saltwater wedge has traveled nearly 15 miles upriver in just seven days, according to the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Municipalities in southeast Louisiana, including New Orleans, all pull their drinking water from the river.
Saltwater topped the sill Wednesday, according to Col. Cullen Jones, commander of the corps' New Orleans district. Its height is expected to increase by 5 feet below the river's surface over the next three weeks.
According to Jones, this may delay saltwater moving up the river for 10 to 15 days.
Millions of gallons of water are set to be delivered per day to treatment facilities for water barges.
The governor is urging households not to panic buy bottled water and asked businesses to increase inventory to keep the shelves full.
The Department of Health announced that the sodium chlorine levels in some areas have exceeded the safe consumption threshold of 250 mg/L.
Populations at the highest risk are those on low sodium diets, pregnant women and infants.
Commander Jones provided a saltwater progression timeline for potential impacts:
Belle Chasse is the first expected to be impacted, with saltwater intrusion set by Oct. 13 - followed by Dalcour by Oct. 15th, St. Bernard by Oct. 19th and New Orleans/Algiers by Oct. 22nd.
The Gretna is expected to be hit by Oct. 24th, followed by West Jefferson by Oct. 25th, New Orleans/Carrollton by Oct. 28th and East Jefferson by Oct. 29th.
In July, Edwards declared a state of emergency for Plaquemines Parish due to the saltwater issue.
Many local residents are fed up and say they have had enough after struggling with basic everyday tasks like with cooking, bathing, and cleaning.
'We are ready to move. We are ready to get out of here. My wife is house shopping today. Everybody wants out,' Byron Marinovich, owner of seafood restaurant Black Velvet, told Fox8.
'You can't live like this. We have enough issues with internet, mail, and other things and now they can't keep up with basic amenities like water?'
He told the outlet that saltwater intrusion is not a new problem for the area.
'We had someone complain about skin rashes,' he said. 'People coming in with their hair sticking up because of the salt water and having to bathe in it. It's really bad.'
'We buy about 150 pounds of ice a day. It's really been a pain trying to make coffee, lemonade, tea,' he added.

Report: Zelensky Asks ‘Spirit Cooking’ Occult Artist Marina Abramović to Be Ambassador for Ukraine
By Kurt Zindulka 23 Sep 2023
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has allegedly asked occult “Spirit Cooking” performance artist Marina Abramović to serve as an ambassador for his country, according to a report from London’s Daily Telegraph.
Ahead of debuting her first solo exhibition in Britain, the controversial 76-year-old Serbian claimed that President Zelensky has asked her to become an ambassador for Ukraine and to help the country rebuild its school system.
In comments reported by The Telegraph, Abramović said: “I have been invited by Zelensky to be an ambassador of Ukraine, to help the children affected by rebuilding schools and such.”
The Serbian artist went on to claim that she has also been invited to join the board of the Babyn Yar organisation to help protect the Holocaust memorial centre for Jews killed by Nazis in Ukraine, which was damaged in a Russian missile attack shortly following last year’s invasion of the country.
Abramović, an ardent opponent of Vladimir Putin, has previously worked in Ukraine, installing the ‘Crystal Wall of Crying‘ at the Babyn Yar centre just months prior to the invasion. Visitors to the forty-metre-long structure are encouraged to “interact with the crystals and meditate”. Her latest show in London will reportedly ask attendees to squeeze two naked models in order to enter.
Born to a pair of Yugoslavian communist government officials, Marina Abramović previously courted political controversy after WikiLeaks revealed that Tony Podesta, the brother of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign chairman John Podesta, had invited his longtime Washington insider brother to a “Spirit Cooking dinner” at Abramović’s home in 2015.
Spirit Cooking, 2000 is the name of the work of art inscribed with pig's blood, which the Yugoslavian artist Marina Abramovic presented on January 20, 2000 at the Kunstverein Hannover. The performance artist has been drawing attention to herself with spectacular performances since the 1970s. The Hannover Art Association is giving until February 20th. an overview of the 53-year-old artist's work. Under the title “Public Body - Artist Body”, the exhibition presents eleven works from the years 1972 to 2000, from actions such as “Rhythm 0” to the most recent text work “Spirit Cooking”.

In 1996, the occult Serbian artist produced a cookbook for spirit cooking, which included “aphrodisiac recipes” such as mixing “fresh breast milk with fresh sperm milk” to be consumed on “earthquake nights”. Meanwhile, another recipe calls for “fresh morning urine”. The recipes were claimed to serve as “evocative instructions for actions or thoughts.”
In response to the controversy surrounding the spirit cooking dinner, Abramović claimed: “It was actually just a normal menu, which I call spirit cooking. There was no blood, no anything else. We just call things funny names, that’s all.”
She went on to deny that she is a Satanist, saying: “My work is really more about spirituality and not anything else.”

(Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for MOCA)
However, Abramović has claimed in the past to have mystical clairvoyant powers which enable her to foresee world events before they happen, writing in her memoir Walking Through Walls: “I dreamed of an earthquake in Italy: 48 hours later, there was an earthquake in southern Italy. I had a vision of someone shooting the Pope: 48 hours later, someone tried to shoot Pope John Paul II.”
In addition to mixing in political circles, Abramović has also brushed elbows with some of the elites in the entertainment industry, including pop singer Lady Gaga, who collaborated with the Serbian artist on a 2010 video. Dubbed “The Abramovic Method Practiced by Lady Gaga,” the lewd video features the Bad Romance singer fully nude while performing a monotone chant and at one point wearing what appear to be yellow horns emanating from her eyes.

How Will The Biden Administration Cope With Its Loss In Ukraine?
Guest Post by Moon of Alabama September 22, 2023
While this piece will touch on the war in Ukraine it is more about the U.S., and the Biden administration, and how they will cope with their defeat in their war on Russia. Please keep that in mind when commentating.
Washington’s moment of recognizing the defeat in Ukraine, and its consequences, has yet to arrive.
In his latest piece (archived) Seymour Hersh reports on the state of the war and of significant differences of opinion between the U.S. intelligence services:
There are significant elements in the American intelligence community, relying on field reports and technical intelligence, who believe that the demoralized Ukraine army has given up on the possibility of overcoming the heavily mined three-tier Russian defense lines and taking the war to Crimea and the four oblasts seized and annexed by Russia. The reality is that Volodymyr Zelensky’s battered army no longer has any chance of a victory. The war continues, I have been told by an official with access to current intelligence, because Zelensky insists that it must. There is no discussion in his headquarters or in the Biden White House of a ceasefire and no interest in talks that could lead to an end to the slaughter. “It’s all lies,” the official said, speaking of the Ukrainian claims of incremental progress in the offensive that has suffered staggering losses, while gaining ground in a few scattered areas that the Ukrainian military measures in meters per week.
The American intelligence official I spoke with spent the early years of his career working against Soviet aggression and spying has respect for Putin’s intellect but contempt for his decision to go to war with Ukraine and to initiate the death and destruction that war brings. But, as he told me, “The war is over. Russia has won. There is no Ukrainian offensive anymore, but the White House and the American media have to keep the lie going.
“The truth is if the Ukrainian army is ordered to continue the offensive, the army would mutiny. The soldiers aren’t willing to die any more, but this doesn’t fit the B.S. that is being authored by the Biden White House.”
The differences between the current CIA and the more neoconned Defense Intelligence Agency extend to their view on China:
A byproduct of the Biden administration’s neocon hostility to Russia and China—exemplified by the remarks of Secretary of State Tony Blinken, who has repeatedly stated that he will not currently countenance a ceasefire in Ukraine—has been a significant split in the intelligence community. One casualty are the secret National Intelligence Estimates that have delineated the parameters of American foreign policy for decades. Some key offices in the CIA have refused, in many cases, to participate in the NIE process because of profound political disagreement with the administration’s aggressive foreign policy. One recent failure involved a planned NIE that dealt with the outcome of a Chinese attack on Taiwan. I have reported for many weeks on the longstanding disagreement between the CIA and other elements of the intelligence community on the prognosis of the current war in the Ukraine. CIA analysts have consistently been far more skeptical than their counterparts at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) on the prospect for a Ukraine success. The American media has ignored the dispute, but the London-headquartered Economist, whose well-informed reporters do not get bylines, has not.
The DIA is still saying that the Ukrainian army has a chance, a small one though, to break through the Russian lines. The White House still seems to believe in that. The CIA knows that the Ukraine is done.
Alastair Crooke, in a talk (vid) with Judge Napolitano, says that the moment of truth will only arrive in November.
But what will happen when everyone recognizes and acknowledges, if silently, that the war on Russia has failed?
Michael Brenner argues that the US Can’t Deal With Defeat:
Ukraine, today, has suffered huge losses of even greater (proportional) magnitude [than the German Wehrmacht in the Battle of Kursk], without achieving any significant territorial gains, unable even to reach the first layer of the Surovikin Line. That will clear the road to the Dnieper and beyond for the 600,000 strong Russian army equipped with weaponry the equal of what the West has given Ukraine. Hence, Moscow is poised to exploit its decisive advantage to the point where it can dictate terms to Kiev, Washington, Brussels et al.
The Biden administration has made no plans for such an eventuality, nor have its obedient European governments. Their divorce from reality will make this state of affairs all the more stunning — and galling. Bereft of ideas, they will flounder. How they will react is unknowable. We can say with certainty one thing: the collective West, and especially the U.S., will have suffered a grave defeat. Coping with that truth will become the main order of business.
Here is a menu of options for handling it:
Redefine what is meant by defeat, victory, failure, success, loss, gain. There is a new narrative that is scripted to stress these talking points: …
This narrative already has been given an airing in speeches by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Acting Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland. Its target audience is the American public; nobody outside the Collective West buys it, though — whether Washington has registered that fact of diplomatic life or not. Retroactively Scale Back the Goals & Stakes
Cultivate Amnesia
Next: China
It is likely that the administration will use all four options to make the pain and memory of defeat go away. Declare victory over Russia because Russia was stopped at the border with Poland. Then forget about all the details and consequences and move towards war on China.
That could end catastrophically.
The focal shift from Russia in Europe to China in Asia is less a mechanism for coping with defeat than the pathological reaction of a country that, feeling a gnawing sense of diminishing prowess, can manage to do nothing more than try one final fling at proving to itself that it still has the right stuff — since living without that exalted sense of self is intolerable.
The U.S. was fortunate, in the case of Vietnam, that the United States’ dominant position in the world outside of the Soviet Bloc and the PRC allowed it to maintain respect, status and influence. Things have now changed, though. The U.S. relative strength in all domains is weaker, strong centrifugal forces around the globe are producing a dispersion of power, will and outlook among other states. The BRICs phenomenon is the concrete embodiment of that reality.
Hence, the prerogatives of the United States are narrowing, its ability to shape the global system in conformity with its ideas and interests are under mounting challenge, and premiums are being placed on diplomacy of an order that seems beyond its present aptitudes.
The U.S. is confounded.
Major offices in the CIA, according to Hersh, have recognized the danger of such plans. It may well be the reason why the CIA’s informal spokesmen, David Ignatius, and others wrote that Biden should step down.
If he doesn’t the neoconservatives around him will have a great incentive to move on China as fast as possible. As Biden will have difficulties in winning next year’s election he needs some objective that can unify the country. A war that he can claim the U.S. will win is one. Some hostile naval exchanges with China will follow.

Biden to give Ukraine long-range missiles with cluster bombs ATTACHED after Zelensky came to White House asking for more firepower
Report on the transfer comes after Zelensky met with Biden at the White House
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy didn't appear publicly with him
Biden's $24B aid package is stalled, but he has existing authority
By Geoff Earle, Deputy U.S. Political Editor For Dailymail.com and Reuters
Published: 16:58 EDT, 22 September 2023 | Updated: 18:30 EDT, 22 September 2023
The Biden administration is preparing to provide a parting gift to Ukraine following President Volodymyr Zelensky's White House visit, in the form of long-range ATACM missiles to strike distant Russian forces.
President Biden has told Zelensky that Washington will provide Kyiv with ATACMS long-range missiles, NBC News reported on Friday, citing three U.S. officials and a congressional official.
That comes a day after Zelensky visited Washington, pleading with lawmakers in the Capitol and during a meeting with Biden for more weapons to protect Ukraine's skies as it seeks to fight back Russia's invading force.
That came on a trip when House Republicans are opposing Biden's proposed $24 billion aid package for Ukraine, and where House Speaker Kevin McCarthy declined to appear with Zelensky in public after saying before Zelensky's trip that 'I have questions for him.'
'Where's the accountability on the money we've already spent?' McCarthy asked, before McCarthy met with the full Senate but did not address the full House or the GOP Conference.
Kyiv has repeatedly asked the Biden administration for Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to help attack and disrupt supply lines, air bases and rail networks in Russian occupied territory.
But the White House did not disclose any decision on ATACMS when Zelenskiy visited Washington on Thursday for talks with Biden, even as it announced a new $325 million military aid package for Kyiv.
Ukraine has already been making use of long-range Storm Shadow missiles being provided by the UK. On Friday, a missile attack believed to have made use of the missiles exploded at Russia's Black Sea fleet headquarters in Sevastopol.
The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Reuters had previously reported the Biden administration was considering shipping ATACMS to Ukraine that can fly up to 190 miles (306 km).
ATACMS are designed for 'deep attack of enemy second-echelon forces,' a U.S. Army website says, and could be used to attack command and control centers, air defenses and logistics sites well behind the front line.
Biden assured Zelenskiy on Thursday that strong U.S. support for his war to repel Russian invaders will be maintained despite opposition from some Republican lawmakers to sending billions more in aid.
Zelenskiy thanked Biden on Thursday for the latest package of weaponry, including air defenses, saying 'it has exactly what our soldiers need now.'
He took up his tour Friday in Canada, where he met Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
'I have a lot of warm words and thanks from Ukraine to you,' he said in Trudeau's office before a planned speech to the Canadian parliament. 'You have helped us on the battlefield, financially and with humanitarian aid ... Stay with us to our victory.'
There has been a long-running debate inside the Biden administration on whether and when to provide the ATACMs.
That may have been eased by a rediscovered stockpile consisting of M30-series missiles armed with hundreds of cluster bombs.
The could be transferred directly to Ukraine, which has been fighting a slow-going counteroffensive against dug-in Russian forces.

ATACMS Block 1
The ATACMS was designed to take over the conventional role of the MGM-52 Lance missile, providing tactical support to ground troops. The missile closely resembles its predecessor and is typically deployed from modified Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) launch vehicles. There were a total of five variants planned, the standard Block 1, the extended-range Block 1A, an anti-hard target Block 1A variant, the terminated anti-tank Block 2, and a terminated nuclear version.1
The Block 1 is the standard service version of the ATACMS. It is a tactical system designed to attack high-value targets of rear-echelon forces such as airfields, Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) sites, artillery/missile forces, supply areas, and command groups. The large number of M74 submunitions saturates an enemy-held area and destroys both troops and equipment. The spread on the submunitions allows the ATACMS Block 1 to be used against moving military targets or against open facilities.
The M74 munitions used by the Block 1 are Anti-Personnel/Anti-Material (APAM) weapons. Each is a round ball with a diameter of 0.06 m and a weight of 0.59 kg. They are wrapped in a tungsten fragmenting wall with a steel casing and incendiary pellets.2
This allows the submunition to be highly effective against both personnel and equipment. The area of effect depends upon the height at which the submunitions are released, enabling either a large area of light damage or a small area of heavy damage. The munitions are ideal for the destruction of infantry and light equipment (communication gear, launch equipment, aircraft, support facilities, etc.), but are ineffective against anything heavily armored. The ATACMS Block 1 is launched from a modified version of MLRS M270 AVMRL (Armored Vehicle Multiple Rocket Launcher), which exchanges twelve MRLS rockets for two ATACMS Block 1 missiles. A single ATACMS Block 1 can also be carried and fired by a US Army HIMARS XM142 wheeled light vehicle. 3
The Block 1 has a range of 165 km and employs a single 560 kg warhead. This warhead is equipped with 950 M74 submunitions. The ATACMS Block 1 has an inertial guidance system that provides it an unknown level of accuracy; however, saturation of the area combined with the short-range of the missile provides a strong likelihood that the target will be successfully hit. The missile is 3.98 m long, 0.61 m wide and has a launch weight of 1,673 kg. It uses a single-stage solid propellant motor.
The ATACMS system ultimately derives from the 1978 ‘Assault Breaker’ technology demonstration program, which developed the concept of a ground launched guided missile equipped with guided submunitions. Formally begun as the Joint Tactical Missile System (JTACMS) in 1983, the program combined the Army’s Corps Support Weapon System and the Air Force Conventional Standoff Weapon programs. The testing phase for the ATACMS Block 1 was completed in December 1989 and the missile entered service in 1991 for use in the Persian Gulf War. In 1997, a total of 1,647 missiles had been ordered by the US Army and were in production.
The ATACMS Block 1 has been exported to several U.S. allies including: Bahrain, Greece, South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, and the UAE. 4
As of 2009, it is believed that the Block 1 began a phase-out process, with no new orders being placed by the United States, though some foreign sales still occur.5
Spent Block 1 missiles are slated to be replaced by the Block 1A variant.
ATACMS Block 1A
The Block 1A has a minimum range of 100 km and deploys a single 160 kg warhead. The maximum range depends on the warhead, with 300 km for the submunition and 270 km for the unitary. This warhead can be equipped with 300 M74 submunitions, which are dispersed over the target area, or a unitary HE warhead. There are two different versions of single warhead versions, either for blast/fragmentation or for HE hard-target penetration. The ATACMS Block 1A uses an improved inertial guidance system combined with a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS). Given the improved guidance and the short range of the system, the accuracy for the unitary warhead is likely 10-50 m CEP, though the saturation from submunitions eliminates CEP as a concern. The missile is 3.98 m long, 0.61 m wide and has a launch weight of 1,321 kg. It uses a single-stage solid propellant motor.
The ATACMS Block 3, also designated as the TACMS-Penetrator, is an ATACMS Block 1A equipped with a Mk 4 reentry vehicle carrying a HE penetrating warhead. This variant has a range of 250 km.
The ATACMS Block 1A began testing in 1995 and entered service in 1998. Production of the Block 1A was planned to continue until 2003 with a US Army total of 625, but further orders were made and filled after 2003. In September 2016, a 10-year life-extension program began on the ATACMS. As a part of this program, the submunition warheads are slated to be replaced with unitary ones.6
ATACMS Block 1A Unitary
The Block 1A Unitary is a unitary warhead version of the ATACMS Block 1A missile, using either the 213 kg HE blast/fragmentation warhead from the AGM/RGM-84 Harpoon or the 247 kg HE blast penetration warhead from the SLAM-ER missile to replace the 300 submunitions of the Block 1A. It is now known as the Block 1A unitary missile. The ATACMS Block 1A unitary has been designed to minimize collateral damage and to attack critical target points in all weather. Its 300 km range allows it to attack targets far behind enemy lines and rapid reloading allows for sustained firing. The small size of the missile and the mobility of launch vehicle system allow the missile to be positioned for maximum effectiveness.
Development started in 1999 on the ATACMS Block 1A unitary. Forty-three unitary warheads were ordered in 2000, which were delivered and tested the following year. Orders for the unitary warhead version of the Block 1A missile were first placed in 2000 and tested in 2001. A further 24 Block 1A unitary missiles were ordered in February 2002, and an additional 68 were ordered in February 2004. Some original Block 1 missiles were converted to the unitary warhead design, thus raising the total number of Block 1A unitary missiles to around 280. A 2008 test of a Block 1A unitary missile successfully used the missile to make a vertical dive on a target.7 The U.S. Army has announced that it plans to replace all ATACMS missiles with their Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) missiles beginning in 2018.8
ATACMS Block 2
The Block 2, which was terminated in October 2002, was to be the anti-tank version of the ATACMS system. Equipped with guided anti-armor Brilliant Anti-Tank (BAT) guided submunitions or BAT P31 improved submunitions, it was designed for the ‘many-on-many’ approach, deploying multiple submunitions against multiple targets. The system released the Brilliant Anti-Tank (BAT) submunitions over an area and the munitions found and homed in on vehicles. It was intended to attack and destroy moving armored units or stationary missile/rocket vehicles. The missile had a range of 140 km (87 miles) and was to be deployed with a single 268 kg warhead. It was 3.98 m long, 0.61 m wide, and had a launch weight of 1,483 kg. It used a single-stage solid propellant motor. As of 2002, funding for the Block 2 was cut, and the program closed.9

North
Korea’s Kim Jong Un heads home after Russian journey that raised concern about
weapons deals
By Associated Press
Published Sep. 18, 2023, 12:21 a.m. ET
North Korean leader Kim
Jong Un is on his way home Sunday from Russia, ending
a six-day trip that triggered global
concerns about weapons transfer deals between the two countries locked in
separate standoffs with the West.
Kim’s armored train
departed to the sound of the Russian patriotic march song “Farewell of
Slavianka” at the end of a farewell ceremony at a railway station in Artyom, a
far eastern Russian city about 124 miles from the border with North Korea,
Russia’s state news agency RIA reported.
Senior officials including
Russia’s Minister of Natural Resources Alexander Kozlov and Primorye regional
Gov. Oleg Kozhemyako were present at the ceremony, which featured a Russian
military band playing both North Korean and Russian national anthems.
It was Kim’s
longest foreign travel since he took power in late 2011. Observers said
Kim was expected to return to Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, around Monday
afternoon.
Since
entering Russia last Tuesday in his first overseas trip in more than four years,
Kim had met President Vladimir Putin and visited key military and technology
sites, underscoring the countries’ deepening defense cooperation
in the face of separate, intensifying confrontations with the US and its allies.
Foreign
officials and experts have said North Korea could provide badly needed munitions
for Moscow’s war on Ukraine in exchange for sophisticated Russian weapons
technology that would
advance Kim’s nuclear ambitions.
North Korea
may have tens of millions of aging artillery shells and rockets
based on Soviet designs that could bolster Russian
forces in Ukraine, analysts say, even though its old artillery systems
have a reputation for poor accuracy.
Both sides
have been reportedly firing thousands of artillery rounds a day.
UN Security
Council resolutions — which Russia, a permanent member, previously endorsed
— ban North Korea from exporting or importing any arms.
Observers
say Russia’s alleged attempts to receive ammunitions and artillery shells from
North Korea suggest Moscow’s desperation to refill its arsenal
exhausted in the war with Ukraine.
“Military
cooperation between North Korea and Russia is illegal and unjust as it
contravenes UN Security Council resolutions and various other international
sanctions,” South
Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said in written responses Sunday to questions
from The Associated Press.
“The international
community will unite more tightly in response to such a move.”
In return for
supplying conventional arms to Russia, experts say North Korea
would seek Russian economic and food aid but also transfers of technologies to
build powerful missiles, a nuclear-propelled submarine and a spy satellite.
North Korea has
publicly sought to
introduce such high-tech weapons systems citing what it called intensifying
US-led hostilities.
Earlier Sunday, Kim was in
a lighter mode, touring a university and watching a walrus show at a Russian
aquarium.
Russia’s state media
released videos of Kim, accompanied by his top
officials, talking with Russian officials through translators at the campus of
the Far Eastern Federal University in Russky Island.
At the island’s Primorsky
Aquarium, Russia’s largest, Kim watched
performances featuring beluga whales, bottlenose dolphins, fur seals and
“Misha” the walrus, which he seemed to particularly enjoy, according
to Russian media.
Kozhemyako,
the Primorye governor, said a delegation from Russia’s Far East would visit
North Korea. According
to Russian state media, Kozhemyako said he’ll be part of the delegation that
will travel with specialists from trade, tourism and agricultural sectors.
The exact timing for the
visit to North Korea hasn’t been announced.
On Saturday, Kim
traveled to an airport near Vladivostok, where Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu
and other senior military officials gave him an up-close look at Russia’s
strategic bombers and other warplanes.
Kim and Shoigu
later in the day went to Vladivostok, where they
inspected the Admiral Shaposhnikov frigate.
On Friday, Kim
visited an aircraft plant in the city of Komsomolsk-on-Amur that produces
Russia’s most powerful fighter jets.
The Russian
warplanes shown to Kim on Saturday were
among the types that have seen action in Ukraine, including the Tu-160, Tu-95
and Tu-22 bombers that have regularly launched cruise missiles.
During Kim’s
visit, Shoigu and Lt.
Gen. Sergei Kobylash, the commander of the Russian
long-range bomber force, confirmed for the first time that the Tu-160 had
recently received new cruise missiles with a range of over 4,040 miles.
Shoigu, who had met Kim
during a rare visit to North Korea in July, also showed
Kim another of Russia’s latest missiles,
the hypersonic Kinzhal, carried by the MiG-31 fighter jet, that saw its first
combat during the war in Ukraine.
North Korea’s
state media reported
that Kim and Shoigu talked about the regional
security environment and exchanged views on “practical issues arising in
further strengthening the strategic and tactical coordination,
cooperation and mutual exchange between the armed forces of the two
countries.”
Kim’s summit
with Putin was held
at Russia’s main space launch site, a location that pointed to his
desire for Russian assistance in his efforts to acquire space-based
reconnaissance assets and missile technologies.
In recent months, two North
Korean launches to send a spy satellite into space ended in failure, and the
North vowed to conduct a third attempt in October.
During the meeting with
Putin, Kim said his country would offer its
“full and unconditional support” for Russia’s fight to defend its security
interests, in an apparent reference to the war in Ukraine.
Kim invited
Putin to visit North Korea at “a convenient time,” and Putin accepted.
It was Kim’s
second summit meeting with Putin.
The previous
meeting took place in Vladivostok in April
2019, two months after Kim’s high-stakes nuclear diplomacy with then US
President Donald Trump fell apart during their second summit in Vietnam.

Dear fully
vaccinated: The newly approved COVID shot is NOT a booster – it is literally a
new (untested) vaccine
09/15/2023 // Ethan Huff //
19.1K Views
If you already
previously got "vaccinated" and "boosted"
for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), congratulations: you
accomplished absolutely nothing except for the destruction of your immune system
because the latest circulating COVID "variants" are no match for
anything other than the newest COVID jabs to be approved by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA).
This is basically what New
York Gov. Kathy Hochul told her constituents this week following the FDA's
decision to approve and emergency use authorize (EUA) the "updated"
COVID jabs from Pfizer and Moderna.
According
to Hochul, all previous COVID injections are ineffective against newer variants
like Omicron XBB.1.5. As such, the fully vaccinated will need to head on down to
the clinic once again to take these latest Big Pharma shots if they hope to stay
protected this fall and winter.
"It
is literally a new vaccine," Hochul said, delivering that line in
her best "valley girl" voice. "It
is not a booster shot. It is not an enhancer. It
is a new vaccine designed to attack the new
variants."
Put another way, Hochul
is basically saying that Operation Warp Speed did nothing, and that now everyone
must get jabbed once again if they wish to survive COVID 2.0.
(Related: Did you know that
Kathy Hochul wants to ban gas stoves in the state of New York because of
"global warming?")
Hochul: Refusing to take
newest COVID jabs means you're selfish
If that message alone is
not enough, Hochul went on to state that this is
all no big deal because Americans have already been getting jabbed again and
again since the beginning.
Brighteon.TV
"We've done this since
March 2020 – no reason to stop now," Hochul said, trying to be funny.
"Don't think about just yourself."
"Tell everybody: Don't
rely on the fact that you had a vaccine in the past – it will not help you
this time around," she further emphasized. "Even
for healthy adults, COVID is serious – you don't want to get it."
In other words,
do not be upset that you already took two, three,
four, or even more COVID jabs because the government promised you would be
protected, only to have that protection disappear in an instant because oopsie.
No, you should instead just shut up, stop being
selfish and just get jabbed again, according to Hochul.
Playing the part of
bureaucrat doctor, even though she is barely qualified to run a hot dog cart, Hochul
promised New Yorkers that if they will just agree to take this new shot, then
that will be the end of getting COVID jabbed – for now, anyway.
"I
will be getting my vaccine very soon," Hochul promised
unconvincingly. "This news is coming at a perfect time. My
team just got off a call with the FDA confirming the COVID vaccine is on its way
to New York.
"The
updated vaccine guards against the newer COVID strains because it was built off
the Omicron ... variant – that's what we're calling it. It's really a
customized vaccine ... We're waiting to find out what age groups the FDA
and CDC are recommending should get the shot ... You
only need one, no more double doses, and again, this will be starting here in
New York on Friday."
Hochul would end
her propaganda speech
by reiterating the same tired lie that "the
vaccine has always been the best way to protect yourself and your community
against COVID-19," even though she said earlier in the speech that
"the vaccine," referring to the old vaccines, have failed.

latest news about what becomes of folks who take the newly approved COVID jabs
from Pfizer and Moderna? You can do so at Vaccines.news.

China's
'CEO Whisperers': Chinese Communist Party Takes Over Canada
by Robert Williams
September 17, 2023 at 5:00 am
"I was pretty dismayed
at the extent of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) influence in the federal
Parliament. I should probably not say any more to stay on the right side of the
libel laws... [W]hat are the authorities doing about this? I think that's the
real measure of China's influence." — Australian professor Clive
Hamilton, National Post, April 15, 2019.
Despite
leaked intelligence reports about Chinese interference in Canada's last two
federal elections in 2019 and 2021, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has
refused to hold a public probe into the matter.
[T]he
passivity of Trudeau's Liberal Party is "permitting China to colonize
Canada." — Tasha
Kheiriddin, Canadian political columnist, National Post, August 22, 2023.
"On
housing: Chinese money laundering inflated Canadian property values for decades
and helped push home ownership out of reach for today's buyers.
On drug addiction: China
is the main source country of fentanyl found in Canada, paving the way for
thousands of overdose deaths. On the economy:
China has targeted a host of Canadian industries
for control, from lobsters to lithium." — Tasha Kheiriddin,
National Post, August 22, 2023.
"The
CCP's basic strategy of overseas influence and interference is to capture elites
in politics, business, media, think tanks, universities, and cultural
institutions...It deploys a range of techniques including flattery, financial
inducement, exploitation of anti-racist and anti-American sentiment, bribery,
and honey traps... Key figures in the Liberal Party have long historical ties to
the CCP, not least through business connections..." — Clive
Hamilton, thehub.ca, June 2, 2023.
"I've often said that Chinese
leaders are what I call CEO whisperers, they're very, very skillful when meeting
foreigners, particularly senior foreigners. China
inspires a kind of excessive affection in people and an excessive sense of
wonder and a desire not to apply the usual sort of critical thinking skills, and
people are seduced by it." — Former Canadian Ambassador to China
David Mulroney, thehub.ca, June 2, 2023.
China
has reportedly openly been trying to influence [Canadian PM] Justin Trudeau for
the past ten years. One
unnamed CSIS source said that the CCP had its eyes on Justin Trudeau well before
he became prime minister.
Trudeau,
during his first election campaign in 2016, visited the homes of "wealthy
Chinese-Canadians for private fundraising events. Some of the hosts had close
connections with the CCP and had been actively promoting Beijing's takeover of
islands in the South China Sea." — Clive Hamilton, in his book, Hidden Hand: Exposing How
the Chinese Communist Party is Reshaping the World.
The influence of
the CCP is so pervasive
that Canada's Minister of Environment and Climate
Change, Steven Guilbeault, "is pulling double duty as an official adviser
to the Chinese government" according to a report in the Toronto Sun.
China...
is a real threat to Canada's sovereignty. "Recent
Chinese actions and announcements are pointing to Beijing's determination to
have a military capability in the region that will exceed that of Canada."
— Rob Hueber, senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and associate
professor of political science at the University of Calgary, Globe and Mail,
August 25, 2023.
"What has
not received as much attention is a research paper, published in 2021, in
which Chinese scientists explain their success in
developing Arctic-resilient underwater listening systems. The paper says
the listening systems are for peaceful purposes, but the actual ramifications of
the HABs [high-altitude balloons], buoys and research systems are inescapable. China
is refining its means of monitoring the Canadian North." — Rob
Hueber, Globe and Mail, August 25, 2023.
"China
will very soon enjoy a major advantage in monitoring Arctic waters, especially
under the surface, and it will have
confidence that Canada has little ability to see what is going on or do anything
about it. Factor in the overwhelming evidence of Beijing's efforts to target and
interfere in our political system – and our reluctance or inability to respond
to these actions – and the larger threat to Canada's very sovereignty comes
starkly into view." — Rob Hueber, Globe and Mail, August 25, 2023.
"When
I look... at the subtle but intense influence of China on Canadian institutions
— parliaments, provincial governments, local governments, universities, the
intellectual community, the policy community — it makes me deadly worried,"
said Australian professor Clive Hamilton, author
of Hidden Hand: Exposing How the Chinese Communist
Party is Reshaping the World (co-authored by Mareike Ohlberg), speaking
to Canada's National Post in 2019. "I've met some very
well-informed Canadians who aren't sure Canada will be able to extricate itself
from this situation."
Hamilton,
who "blew the whistle on Australia says Canada is in even worse
trouble."
"I
was pretty dismayed at the extent of
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) influence in the federal Parliament. I
should probably not say any more to stay on the right side of the libel laws...
My response is to ask what are the authorities doing about this...? I think
that's the real measure of China's influence."
Four years
later and Canadian authorities are doing little to nothing about China's
interference in Canada.
Despite leaked intelligence reports about Chinese
interference in Canada's last two federal elections in 2019 and 2021,
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has refused to hold a public probe into the
matter.
Investigative journalist
Sam Cooper wrote in August:
"China's
election interference and political influence in Canada has been enabled by
Beijing's covert 'takeover' of
Chinese-language media, plus sophisticated, massively-funded schemes targeting
mainstream outlets and seeking to control 'key media entities' according
to intelligence documents.
"These
clandestine operations have involved threats against journalists, the documents say, but also
inducements, such as benefits offered by Vancouver's Chinese Consulate to
cultivate 'key editors, producers and high-ranking managers.'"
According to Tasha
Kheiriddin, a Canadian political columnist, the
passivity of Trudeau's Liberal Party is "permitting China to colonize
Canada."
"The
erosion of our sovereignty by foreign powers, notably the Chinese communist
government, contributes to many... problems.
On housing: Chinese money laundering inflated
Canadian property values for decades and helped push home ownership out of reach
for today's buyers. On drug addiction: China
is the main source country of fentanyl found in Canada, paving the way
for thousands of overdose deaths. On the economy:
China has targeted a host of Canadian industries
for control, from lobsters to lithium."
According to Hamilton, the CCP
has a hold on Canadian elites, which explains why China's interference is
allowed to continue in Canada.
"The CCP's
basic strategy of overseas influence and interference is
to capture elites in politics, business, media, think tanks, universities, and
cultural institutions. It deploys a range of techniques including flattery,
financial inducement, exploitation of anti-racist and anti-American sentiment,
bribery, and honey traps... Key figures in the Liberal Party have long
historical ties to the CCP, not least through business connections..."
David Mulroney, a former
Canadian ambassador to China from 2009 to 2012, said that Canadian
elites only see an imaginary China.
"They
see the China of the very powerful rhetoric of the Communist Party. I've
often said that Chinese leaders are what I call
CEO whisperers, they're very, very skillful when meeting foreigners,
particularly senior foreigners.
"China
inspires a kind of excessive affection in people and an excessive sense of
wonder and a desire not to apply the usual sort of critical thinking skills, and
people are seduced by it."
China has
reportedly openly been trying to influence Trudeau for the past 10 years,
according to the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). One unnamed CSIS
source said that the CCP had its eyes on Trudeau well before he became prime
minister.
According to columnist
Tristin Hopper, writing in Canada's National Post:
"Trudeau's
family has always had a weird relationship with the People's Republic of China.
As prime minister, Pierre Trudeau [Justin
Trudeau's father], paid semi-regular visits to the
country and often hauled his children along...
"So in 2016, it didn't
take all that much for the People's Republic of China to utterly flatter Justin
Trudeau during his first official visit to the country. China's premier Li
Keqiang made sure to offer praise of Trudeau's father within seconds of their
initial meeting...
"Trudeau,
meanwhile, framed the whole thing as a kind of family reunion — and
made sure to note that he had brought his own kids along. 'The friendship and the
openness towards China that my father taught me, I'm certainly hoping to pass on
not only to my children but to generations of Canadians in the future,'
he said."
In his book, Hamilton
writes that Trudeau, during his first election
campaign in 2016, visited the homes of "wealthy Chinese-Canadians for
private fundraising events. Some of the
hosts had close connections with the CCP and had been actively promoting
Beijing's takeover of islands in the South China Sea."
The influence of the CCP
is so pervasive that Canada's Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Steven
Guilbeault, "is pulling double duty as an official adviser to the Chinese
government" according to a report in the Toronto Sun.
In August, Guilbeault
traveled to China to participate in a meeting at the China Council for
International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED), which was
established by China's Ministry of Ecology and Environment. According to
the organization's own website:
"... chaired by
China's Executive Vice-Premier, CCICED serves as a
high-level advisory body with a mandate to conduct research and provide policy
recommendations to the Chinese Government on environment and development."
Guilbeault,
a cabinet minister in the Canadian government, is, unbelievably, an Executive
Vice Chairperson of CCICED.
China, according to Rob
Hueber, senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and associate professor
of political science at the University of Calgary,
is a real threat to Canada's sovereignty. "Recent Chinese actions and
announcements are pointing to Beijing's determination to have a military
capability in the region that will exceed that of Canada," Hueber
wrote in August.
"Earlier
this year, there was major news-media coverage of a series of Chinese
high-altitude balloons (HABs) that flew over North American airspace, as well as
Chinese monitoring buoys that floated (or were deployed) into Canadian waters.
"What has not received
as much attention is a research paper, published
in 2021, in which Chinese scientists explain their
success in developing Arctic-resilient underwater listening systems. The
paper says the listening systems are for peaceful purposes, but the actual
ramifications of the HABs, buoys and research systems are inescapable. China is
refining its means of monitoring the Canadian North...
"China,
will very soon enjoy a major advantage in monitoring Arctic waters,
especially under the surface, and it will have confidence
that Canada has little ability to see what is going on or do anything about it.
Factor in the overwhelming evidence of Beijing's efforts
to target and interfere in our political system – and our
reluctance or inability to respond to these actions – and the larger
threat to Canada's very sovereignty comes starkly into view."

researcher based in the United States.

NATO
admiral warns of ammunition shortage
With
Ukraine consuming massive quantities of ammo, Western militaries are struggling
to afford what’s on the market
Rising
ammunition prices mean the West is spending more money on defense but ending up
with less in its stockpiles, NATO Military Committee Chair Admiral Rob Bauer warned on Saturday. NATO
officials have previously warned that the Ukrainian military is using more ammo
than the West can produce.
“Prices for equipment and ammunition are shooting up. Right now, we are
paying more and more for exactly the same,” Bauer said after a meeting
of NATO defense chiefs in Norway, according to Reuters.
“That means that we cannot make sure that the increased defense spending
actually leads to more security,” he added.
The price
increase has been primarily driven by the Ukrainian military’s consumption of
artillery shells, particularly 155mm rounds for its Western-provided guns.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg warned in February that Kiev was burning
through this ammunition faster than the West could replace it.
At that time,
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said that
American advisers were instructing Ukrainian commanders to “emphasize
additional training on maneuver” in order to preserve their dwindling 155mm
stocks.
It is unclear
how many of these shells Ukraine has fired per day since its
counteroffensive against Russian forces began in June, but Reuters
put the figure at 10,000, while other
media outlets have suggested anywhere between 3,000 and 8,000.
Bauer said that the
ammunition shortage has not been responsible for the glacial pace of the
counteroffensive. Instead, he highlighted the
density of Russian-laid minefields as the top threat faced by Ukrainian
soldiers.
In order
to resolve the ammo shortfall, Bauer called on the private sector to step up
production.
"Long
term stability needs to prevail over short term profits,” he said.
“As we have seen in Ukraine, war is a whole of society event.”
As NATO countries funneled tens of billions of dollars worth of weapons and
ammunition into Ukraine since last February, Western leaders imposed draconian sanctions on Russia in a bid to
cripple its defense industry. These efforts have
not worked as intended, and US officials reportedly concede that Russia
is now producing more missiles than it was before the conflict began.

FINAL
SOLUTION: Joe Biden Tells Audience At The United Nations That Israel Must
Be Divided
And Given For The Creation Of A Palestinian State
Published 22 hours ago
on September 19, 2023 By
Geoffrey Grider
Joe
Biden
addressed the United Nations this week, telling them
that the land of Israel must be divided to fulfill the Two State Solution
of a Palestinian state
The slow
but resoundingly steady tick, tick, tick of the Bible prophecy clock continues
it’s ever-reaching forward march until it reaches a resolution. WWI prepared
the land for the Jews, WWII prepared the Jews for the land, the
very same land that, right now, is being proffered as a sop for the creation of
a Palestinian state. Two State Solution or Final Solution? The difference is not
immediately apparent.
“But I have chosen
Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my
people Israel.” 2 Chronicles 6:6 (KJB)
God is
getting ready to do an amazing thing, Isaiah 28 calls it His ‘strange work’ and His
‘strange act’. What is that? It is the LORD
giving control over His chosen people the Jews and His holy city of Jerusalem to
Satan, that the time of Jacob’s trouble may be fulfilled. Luke 21 shows
you this at its apex, called the ‘days of
vengeance’, as the armies of Antichrist destroy Jerusalem and Israel, and they
do it with God’s full blessing. But…it’s a trap, it’s
a ‘hook in the jaw’ to draw all nations against Israel, and that is where
God will fight for His people and for His land. In the meantime, get
ready for a Palestinian state.
Joe Biden: US
to work for Israeli normalization and two states
FROM THE JERUSALEM POST:
The United States plans to seek both the
normalization of the Jewish state with its Arab neighbors and a
two-state resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, US President
Joe Biden told the United Nations on Tuesday.
“Israel’s greater normalization and economic connection with its
neighbors delivering positive and particle impacts even as we continue to work
tirelessly for just and lasting peace, for Israelis and Palestinians, two
states for two peoples,” he said.
Biden set
out his country’s foreign policy agenda as one of the first speakers to
address the high-level portion of the 78th opening session of the UN General
Assembly. He focused on
the importance of regional cooperation as a
blue-print to solve global crises and conflict, including in the Middle East.
He referenced
specifically the new energy corridor the US announced
that the US would link Europe to India through the
Middle East, touching Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab
Emirates.
This he
said, “will spur opportunities for investment across two continents”
and is part of “our efforts to build a more sustainable and integrated Middle
East.
Biden
hinted that the partnerships the US is helping foster between Israel and its
neighbors have little to do with Iran’s nuclear threat.
“None of these partnerships are about containing any country, they are
about a positive vision for our shared future,” he said. READ MORE

Something
Really Bad Is Going To Happen: All It Will Take Is One Major Event, Cultural,
Political Or Economic, Acting As A Match To Light The Unstable Powder Keg That
Is America
By Susan Duclos - All News
Pipeline September 19, 2023
Something
really bad is is going to happen, family,
friends and neighbors seem to have more anger than usual, something
feels very off.....these are just some of the type of statements we have
been seeing with increasing frequency all across the internet.
There are a variety of reasons
for this uptick in anxiety, and this feeling
of waiting for yet another shoe to drop, and that is
because of what we see happening around us and throughout the nation on a daily
basis.
From
a dementia-ridden puppet occupying the White House, with no clue as to who
exactly is really pulling his strings, or medicating him for that matter,
to a weaponized Department of Justice
attempting to politically persecute and prosecute the leading candidate from the
opposing party, to non-political issues.
Those include everything
from store items forced to be put behind lock and key because of the
out-of-control theft in certain cities and states across the U.S., to the
inability of some Americans to know
which public bathroom to use, to issues that have no business being political
and yet has become so.
Here is an
example of what that last statement means: Transitioning
minors. How did America get to the point where allowing surgeries that literally
mutilate children's bodies, and drugs given to them to prevent puberty, altering
their natural growth permanently, are opposed by only one political party?
Do you know that 41
U.S. states have laws against Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), yet if
a child claims to be "transgender," somehow it is alright to cut off a
minor females breasts? Given puberty blockers?
Castrating males?
There are so many other
reasons that everyone is on edge, some of which we will discuss below.
BIDEONOMICS
Child
poverty has doubled in the last year, with the media
insisting it isn't Biden or his "Bidenomics'" fault, but rather
because the coronavirus pandemic-era
government benefits expired. Now those special benefits were instituted
in July 2021, by the Biden regime.
Those
benefits caused a manufactured and false narrative of child poverty
levels being less than they actually were under "Bidenomics."
An uptick in the number of
children living in poverty had been widely expected, because of the expiration
of the enhanced version of Child Tax Credit program (CTC) that had been
instituted in July 2021 as a means of defraying the
financial burden that the stay-at-home measures had imposed on parents.
The CTC gave parents a historically high yearly tax
credit of up to $3,600 per child, depending on age, which was often paid
upfront monthly and did not have
to be paid back if the parents' tax bill didn't reach a certain amount.
Gas
prices spiked, and the
regime released so much from the Strategic Reserves that we are at the lowest
levels since 1984.
Now
gas prices are on the rise again, but the
Biden regime cannot manufacturer the appearance of 'naturally' lower gas prices
by releasing more from the Strategic Reserves.
• US
gas prices just hit their highest summertime levels in over a decade even
as the driving season comes to a halt.
• The national average
for a gallon of gas rose to $3.80, notching the second-highest
level ever, per AAA.
There are reasons, but
just like consumers paying more for food since 2021, people with empty wallets
and no savings really care about the "why" as much as they do about
keeping their family fed and their vehicles full of gas so
they can go to work.
Food
inflation has risen 20% since 2021 when the Biden regime began occupying
the White House.
In that same timeframe, an overall
cost of all items on the index are 13% higher than they were two years ago.
More eye-opening charts can
be found at CNBC in a piece titled "These 5 charts show how much 2 years of
inflation have really cost you."
Inflation
rose again in July and August, yet the
media continues to gaslight America with claims that inflation is down.
Here is a little something
the Biden media avoids reporting at all
costs: Inflation cold be zero and prices would not go down, that would require
negative inflation.
Making matters even worse, now,
they want to steal what you own!
Jamie
Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan, a man who claims
his heart is Democrat, but his brain is "kind of" Republican,
suggested in his annual letter to shareholders that governments, which includes
America, should be able to seize
citizens' private properties using "eminent domain," to enact climate
initiatives.
After seeing that, it
is quite clear his heart and brain are both radical democrats.
BOTTOM LINE
We
keep seeing warnings of the second civil war in America, and questions
of "are we heading for another civil war?," but the truth is, we
are already in a civil war, and all it will take is one major event, political,
cultural, or economic, acting as a match to light the unstable powder keg that
is America today.
This civil war is between
Democrats and Republicans.
People
are fed up, angry, broke, anxious and just waiting for that last shoe to drop,
which will light said powder keg and turn the cold civil war we are in now,
into a hot, bloody war.

‘Go to
Hell’: Brave EU Politician Delivers Damning
Message to the Global Tyrants
September 21, 2023
Member of the European
Parliament Christine Anderson has been an
unyielding opponent to Klaus Schwab’s ‘Great Reset’ Agenda. Known
best for her famous smackdown on Justin Trudeau, MEP Anderson has
established herself as one of the few
politicians left who represent the interests of the European people.
September 13 was no
different as MEP Anderson took no prisoners in her latest warning to the
globalitarian elite. Before the European Parliament, in
a session specifically focused on the COVID-19 response and the World Health
Organization, MEP Anderson ended the meeting with a powerful statement.
“We
just need to find a way to wake the people up. Because
the point is simply this: it comes down to a choice. It’s either freedom,
democracy, and the rule of law — or enslavement.
“There
is no such thing in between. There is no such thing as a little freedom, a
little democracy, a little rule of law, just as there is no such thing as a
little enslavement. So that’s the choice. It comes down to – it’s either
the globalitarian misanthropists or the people. It comes down to – it’s
either us or them. And that’s, I think, what this
really is all about.

UN
President Approves Pandemic Declaration — Privacy Experts Warn of ‘Digital
Gulag’
Over
the objections of 11 nations, the United Nations General Assembly president
today approved a declaration on pandemic prevention that seeks to
create a global pandemic authority. Critics said the
declaration supports COVID-19-style restrictions, including “closing schools
and disproportionately throwing women out of work and into poverty.”
By Michael Nevradakis,
Ph.D. 09/20/23
The United
Nations (U.N.) General Assembly (UNGA) president today approved the non-binding
U.N declaration on Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response (PPPR),
without a full assembly vote and over
the objections of 11 nations.
Critics
called the declaration, which seeks
to create a global pandemic authority with the power to enforce lockdowns,
universal vaccination and censorship of “misinformation,” “hypocrisy”
and “unhinged.”
The approval came as part
of a high-level meeting on PPPR. But what
does the declaration mean in practice?
For
proponents, the declaration is a
key step toward global coordination in pandemic prevention and public health.
According to the World
Health Organization (WHO), it
“presents an opportunity … to prevent and prepare for pandemics and their
consequences, using an approach that involves all government sectors.”
The WHO
also said the PPPR aims to “apply lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic”
and “comes as the world faces multiple
humanitarian and climate-related crises which are threatening lives and
livelihoods around the world.”
In a statement, WHO
Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said,
“If COVID-19 taught us nothing else, it’s that when health is at risk,
everything is at risk.” He linked the PPPR to the U.N.’s Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs), saying world leaders should “show they have learned
the painful lessons of the pandemic.”
Attorney Lawrence Gostin, head
of Georgetown University’s WHO
Collaborating Center — a key figure “playing a key behind-the-scenes role in
negotiations” for the proposed “pandemic treaty” and amendments to the
International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR) — said the high-level
meeting “is our best chance to gain support and deep engagement of
heads of state and government.”
Other
experts took a different view. Author and podcaster Frank Gaffney, founder
and president of the Center for Security Policy, told The Defender it is “very
worrying” that the U.N. and WHO “will further encourage, if not actually
authorize, the kind of standing capability or authority on their part to
essentially dictate what constitutes emergencies.”
“There’s
no getting around the fact that it’s going to come at the expense of the
sovereignty of the various nations that will
subsequently be told that they have an emergency and told what they have to do
about it,” he added. “This is unprecedented.”
Gostin said “Negotiators
are at a loss” as to how to balance accountability and sovereignty when
implementing instruments like the PPPR, IHR or “pandemic treaty.”
Writing for the Brownstone
Institute, Dr. David Bell, a public health
physician, biotech consultant and former director of Global Health Technologies
at Intellectual Ventures Global Good Fund, said
“the main aim” of the PPPR “is to back” the “pandemic treaty” and
IHR amendments currently under negotiation by WHO member states.
Bell said a “silence
procedure” is in place, “meaning that States not responding will be deemed
supporters of the text.” He said the text is “clearly contradictory,
sometimes fallacious, and often quite
meaningless,” and intended to centralize the WHO’s power.
Bell told The Defender,
“The declaration was not written with
serious intent, but is essentially empty rhetoric promoting a continued
centralization of control that the U.N. and
WHO are openly seeking, at the expense of democracy, human rights and
equality.”
Francis Boyle, J.D., Ph.D.,
a bioweapons expert and professor of
international law at the University of Illinois who drafted the Biological
Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, agreed.
“The same people who drafted the
pandemic treaty and the IHR amendments drafted the PPPR document,” Bell
told The Defender.
“This
is a full-court press to have the entirety of the United Nations Organization,
its specialized agencies and its affiliated organizations, back up and support
their proposed globalist WHO worldwide
totalitarian medical and scientific police state,” he said.
Today’s
high-level meeting included scheduled speeches from 158 national representatives,
including the presidents or prime ministers of 34 countries and, representing
the U.S., Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
Panelists included German
Minister of Health Dr. Karl Lauterbach and representatives of the Biotechnology
Innovation Organization.

What does the declaration
mean for you?
The final text of the PPPR
political declaration, dated Sept. 1, includes statements
and proposals covering a range of
issues, from vaccination to so-called “misinformation.”
According to the declaration,
“pandemics call for timely, urgent and
continued leadership, global solidarity, increased international cooperation and
multilateral commitment … to implement coherent and robust national, regional
and global actions, driven by science … to strengthen pandemic prevention,
preparedness and response.”
Stating
that “health is a precondition for all” and an indicator of “sustainable
development,” the declaration
calls for:
Universal
vaccination: The declaration
expresses “deep concern” about declining global vaccination rates, and
includes a commitment supporting “research and development of vaccines and
medicines, as well as preventive measures and treatments for communicable and
non-communicable diseases.”
“Routine
immunization is one of the most efficient and cost-effective public health
interventions with the greatest reach and demonstrated health
outcomes,” the declaration states,
while highlighting the ”important role played by the private sector in
research and development of innovative medicines,” including vaccines.
It calls
for the improvement of “routine immunization, vaccination and outreach
capacities, including by providing evidence-based information on promoting
confidence, uptake, demand” and “expand[ing] vaccine coverage to prevent
outbreaks as well as the spread and re-emergence of communicable diseases.”
Makes
“temporary” COVID-19 powers permanent: The declaration
expresses “concern with the continued
emergence and re-emergence of epidemic-prone diseases,” stating “the
need … to build on the lessons learned and best practices from the COVID-19
pandemic,” including “turning, where
appropriate, temporarily scaled up capacities” developed during the
pandemic “into permanent capacities in
a sustainable manner.”
Calls
for increased surveillance and digital health documents, such as vaccine
passports: The declaration “recognize[s] … the
potential of digital health technologies” in “implementing
and supporting health measures and bolstering
national response efforts” to pandemics and health emergencies.
Digital
technologies such as vaccine passports are a key component of the
under-negotiation IHR amendments. The declaration, in turn, also states a
need for “early warning systems” and “an integrated One Health
approach,” for “the earliest and most adequate response” to
pandemics and health emergencies.
Potential
social media censorship: The declaration expresses “concern
that health-related misinformation and disinformation negatively impacted
routine immunization services globally.”
Accordingly, the
declaration calls for “measures
to counter and address the negative impacts of health-related misinformation,
disinformation, hate speech and stigmatization, especially on social media
platforms … including countering vaccine hesitancy … and to foster trust in
public health systems and authorities.”
Calls for “pandemic
treaty” and IHR amendments to be finalized: The declaration
“encourages” the conclusion of negotiations on the IHR amendments and the
“pandemic treaty,” suggesting that this
will ensure “the sustainable, affordable, fair, equitable, effective,
efficient and timely access to medical countermeasures,” including vaccines.
You
will pay for this: The declaration “Welcome[s]
the launch of the Pandemic Fund” to “finance critical investments” for
pandemic preparedness and response, at
a cost of $30 billion per year. This price tag includes an “estimated
gap of $10 billion in new external financing per year outside current official
development assistance levels” — namely, dues paid by WHO member states.
According to Bell, “The
WHO noted in 2019 that pandemics are rare, and insignificant in terms of overall
mortality over the last century” but, “The WHO
and the entire U.N. system now consider pandemics an existential and imminent
threat.”
He said this is important,
because “They
are asking for far more money than is spent on any other international health
program,” which will “deliver great wealth to some people” and great
powers for governments, which can be used to “reimpose the very responses that
have just caused the largest growth in poverty and disease in our lifetimes.”
“Logically,
pandemics will only become more frequent if someone intends to make them so
(so we should wonder what is going on),” Bell wrote.
Bell said that while the
declaration pays lip service to issues such as women’s rights and education,
it contradicts itself by supporting COVID-19-style restrictions, including
“closing schools and disproportionately throwing women out of work and into
poverty.”
Independent journalist
James Roguski told The Defender, “The
vast harms that have been caused by approved therapeutics and injections make
the hypocrisy” of the declaration’s calls for “greater
access” to vaccines “absolutely astonishing.”
“If
the WHO was still about improving overall health, they would obviously not be
involved in this as it is contrary to good public health policy,” Bell
said.
Gostin said misinformation
“poses a serious health threat, especially in vaccine distribution,”
adding, “Balancing free speech with
combating misinformation is challenging” and that the “WHO
can lead partnerships between scientific experts and information disseminators
to ensure credible information reaches the public.”
Bell, however, disagreed
with this view, writing, “The WHO
recently publicly characterized people who discuss adverse effects of COVID
vaccines and question WHO policies as ‘far-right,’ ‘anti-science
aggressors,’ and ‘a killing force,’” adding that “This
is unhinged. It is the denigration and hate speech that fascist regimes use.”
Yet, for Gostin, the PPPR
declaration isn’t enough. “It is wholly inadequate on concrete action, such
as pledges for funding health systems,” he said, adding “There
has been too little cooperation between the U.N. and WHO.”

11 countries opposed
declaration
Consensus
on the PPPR is not universal. In a Sept. 17 letter to Dennis Francis,
president of the UNGA, co-signed by the representatives of 11 countries, “legitimate
concerns” were raised “of a large number of developing countries have been
ignored.”
The 11 countries are
Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Eritrea,
the Islamic Republic of Iran, Nicaragua, the Russian Federation, the Syrian Arab
Republic, Venezuela and Zimbabwe.
Their letter broke the
“silence procedure,” stating, “Our delegations are convinced that this is
no way to handle multilateral and intergovernmental negotiations on issues of
great relevance for the international community, particularly for developing
countries.”
It added that “no
consensus has been reached on any of these processes.” However, the
letter does not contain specific objections to the content of the PPPR
declaration.
According to Boyle, the 11
nations’ objections should “prevent this declaration being adopted by
consensus and thus arguably becoming part of customary international law, which
is what those behind the declaration intend.”
“They
could not get it through the UNGA as a Consensus Resolution because of the 11
objecting states,” Boyle said. “They are trying
to spin it and misrepresent it,” he said, by having the UNGA president
— not the UNGA — approve the declaration.
Gates-supported
organization pushed for PPPR declaration
In addition to national
representatives, organizations like Gavi,
the Vaccine Alliance — recognized as a stakeholder and “observer” by the
WHO — also participated in today’s meeting.
Gavi
proclaims a mission to “save lives and protect people’s health,”
and states it “helps vaccinate almost
half the world’s children against deadly and debilitating infectious
diseases.”
The
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is a partner of Gavi and holds a permanent
seat on its board — as do the WHO, UNICEF and the World Bank.
Gavi
described this year’s UNGA as “a sobering milestone” on the path toward
meeting the 2030 target date for the SDGs, and said the high-level
meeting is “a one-time and historic opportunity for leaders to adopt a
whole-of-government, whole-of-society, global
approach to addressing pandemic threats.”
“By taking
lessons from the acute phase of the pandemic, the moment is imminent to shape a
more responsive and resilient system,” Gavi said, adding that “urgent
action is needed to fulfill the SDG3 [health and well-being] targets and
reach all children with life-saving vaccines.”
Gavi
also assigned itself a role in this process, stating, “There should
also be a prominent role for specialised agencies such as Gavi, building
on technical expertise and lessons from the response to the COVID-19 pandemic to
achieve health equity.”
Bell
said Gavi is an example of an organization that was not “negatively
impacted” by the COVID-19 catastrophe. “People and corporations who sponsor
much of the WHO’s health emergency work, and that of its sister organizations
such as CEPI, Gavi, and Unitaid, did very well from the policies they
advocated so strongly for,” he wrote.
PPPR envisions ‘digital
gulag,’ negotiated in ‘secrecy’
Gaffney,
who is hosting a webinar today relating to proposals to expand vaccine passports
and grant the WHO more power, said PPPR
is part of a broader power grab by the WHO and U.N., including proposals
expected to be discussed at the U.N. in September 2024, to grant the U.N.
secretary-general indefinite emergency powers.
“Both
the U.N. and WHO envision this kind of digital gulag as an underpinning
mechanism for exercising that kind of authority, and specifically the
ability of those entities to dictate what must be done in response to whatever
they decide is a crisis, health-related
or otherwise,” Gaffney said. “This
is the thing that’s very alarming to me.”
Dr. Michel Kazatchkine, a French
physician and diplomat and member of the team that drafted the PPPR declaration,
said the declaration and the proposal to grant the U.N. secretary-general
emergency powers are linked.
According to Roguski, the PPPR
declaration is one of “four tracks that are important to pay attention to
right now” — along with the IHR amendments adopted in May 2022, which
he says “need to be rejected by the
end of November,” the new IHR
amendments and the “pandemic treaty” (formally named the WHO CA+ Framework
Convention).
Roguski told The Defender
that the May 2024 target date for
adoption of the IHR amendments and “pandemic treaty” at the WHO’s World
Health Assembly is in jeopardy due to the objecting nations — a view
shared by Gostin, who said the May 2024 deadline is “pushing it” but
noting that “the reason for speed is compelling.”
Roguski
said the PPPR negotiations were conducted in “secrecy” and noted the PPPR
declaration “is silent” regarding efforts to develop a Global Digital Health
Certification Network — which would establish a global framework for
“vaccine passports” and other types of health certificates to be
implemented.
Roguski said that rather
than calling for gain-of-function research to end, the PPPR supports funding WHO
efforts “to implement a Pathogen Access and Benefits Sharing System.”
He said this “increases the risk of
the spread of deadly pathogens, by design.”
According to the PPPR
declaration, a high-level meeting reviewing progress on PPPR implementation will
be held in New York in 2026. Other health-related high-level meetings at the
UNGA this week focus on universal health coverage and tuberculosis.

War with
Russia to massacre 50,000 Americans every two weeks, with forced conscription of
young Americans now inevitable, warns US Army War College
By Belle Carter // Sep 20,
2023
In the autumn issue of the U.S.
Army War College's "Parameters," a quarterly
published refereed forum that furthers the professional development of senior
military officers on national security affairs, a call to action on a possible
war with Russia that will kill about 50,000 Americans was presented. It pointed
out that the massive loss of service members will also trigger conscription to
fill the ranks.
The war college
is a
U.S. Army educational institution in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, on the 500-acre
campus of the historic Carlisle Barracks, which provides graduate-level
instruction to tenured military officers and civilians to prepare them for
leadership assignments and responsibilities.
According to the 13-page
write-up, the U.S. Army faced a strategic inflection point after a failed
counterinsurgency effort in Vietnam 50 years ago. In response to lessons learned
from the Yom Kippur War, the Army Training and
Doctrine Command (TRADOC) was created to reorient thinking and doctrine around
the conventional Soviet threat.
It also emphasized that the
ongoing and dragging Russia-Ukraine War is just exposing significant
vulnerabilities in the Army's strategic personnel depth and ability to withstand
and replace casualties and because of this, the Army
theater medical planners may anticipate a sustained rate of roughly 3,600
casualties per day, ranging from those killed in action to those wounded in
action or suffering disease or other non-battle injuries. And with
a 25 percent predicted replacement rate, the personnel system will require 800
new personnel each day. In large-scale combat operations, the United
States could experience that same number of casualties in two weeks, the article
noted and cited that in 20 years of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S.
sustained about 50,000 casualties. (Related: U.S. proxy war: Kyiv’s
counteroffensive kills or wounds 800 Ukrainians per day, Russia reports.)
Brighteon.TV
Moreover, the Army
is facing a dire combination of a recruiting shortfall and a shrinking
Individual Ready Reserve, which is nearly
50 percent in the combat arms career management fields. "Every
infantry and armor soldier we do not recruit today is a strategic mobilization
asset we will not have in 2031. The Individual Ready
Reserve, which stood at 700,000 in 1973 and 450,000 in 1994, now stands
at 76,000. These numbers cannot fill the existing gaps in the active
force, let alone any casualty replacement or expansion during a large-scale
combat operation," "Parameters" further emphasized.
Unlike the
Vietnam War 50 years ago,
the ubiquitous use of unmanned aerial vehicles and
surface vehicles, satellite imagery, sensor-based technologies, smartphones,
commercial data links, and open-source intelligence is
fundamentally changing the way armies will fight. These systems, coupled
with emerging artificial intelligence platforms, dramatically accelerate the
pace of modern war.
Authors Katie Crombe and
John A. Nagl, who are an army strategist and warfighting studies professor,
respectively, recalled that a team of faculty and students at the U.S. Army War
College believed the Russia-Ukraine War
that was unfolding in front of them back in the fall of 2022, was
a wake-up call for the Army across the traditional warfighting functions that
also required a culture change across the Army's education, training, and
doctrine enterprise to embrace new lessons learned and drive change across all
echelons of the Army.
Army College argues NOW is
the time to launch large-scale combat operations against Russia
For Andrew
S. Grove, president and CEO of the Intel Corporation, a strategic
inflection point rarely announces itself but rather presents as a choice to
bring clarity to chaos and take a new path. Today's Army is reminiscent
of the Army of 1973, rife with experience, knowledge, and opportunities to
change. Now is the time, he claims.
"Parameters"
urged the Army to embrace the Russo-Ukrainian conflict as an opportunity to
reorient the force into one as forward-thinking and formidable as the Army that
won Operation Desert Storm. "This article
suggests changes the Army should make to enable success in multidomain
large-scale combat operations at today's strategic inflection point,"
it said in the abstract.
Today's
Army is getting an opportunity to reassess the professional military education
soldiers and officers are receiving across the TRADOC Centers of Excellence,
their training experiences at the national training centers, and the daily
training and education they receive throughout their careers.
Further recommending taking
advantage of the current conflict, the article included that: "To
remain relevant to the pace of the rapidly changing character of war, TRADOC
must lead this initiative now, adapting education and training in
real-time."
"The US
Army must ensure it captures these rapid changes in a manner that can be
immediately written into doctrine, implemented in training, and woven into the
daily lives of soldiers in garrison and combat," it also said,
adding that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are buying lessons with blood that not
only preserve their freedom but can also help the US Army deter and, if
necessary, fight and win future wars at a lower cost of life and treasure.

Blasphemous Cult-Like Church Pledges Allegiance To Drag Queens
This demonic movement is
spreading across the country with support of the entire establishment
By Kelen McBreen |
INFOWARS.COM Tuesday, September 19, 2023
Footage out of Dallas,
Texas shows the moment a crowded LGBT-friendly
church recited a pledge dedicated to drag queens standing at the front of the
congregation.
The viral video shows
attendees of the Cathedral of Hope publicly
blessing the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a drag queen group that was
recently at the center of a controversy with the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball
team.
The congregants read in
unison, “We commit ourselves to be people of
faith who stand for justice, proclaim love and defend the rights of all people.
We recognize that all people are made in the loving image of God no matter who
they are, how they dress, express themselves or who they love.”
Of course, many Christians
would argue that chopping one’s breasts or penis off is directly in defiance
of how God created that individual.
“We
celebrate this divine diversity and commit to lifting up the voices of the
LGBTQ+ community and creating spaces where everyone can thrive.
Drag queens are often targets of hate and violence. But we know that they are
often powerful and resilient people who show us what it means to be truly
authentic and expressive,” the crowd echoed.
The pledge continued, “We
honor their strength and pledge to be allies to the drag community, recognizing
their full humanity and their incredible contributions to our world. We
embrace radical inclusivity and work to dismantle systems of oppression.
We will fight against all forms of hate, prejudice
and intolerance and work to build a world that affirms and celebrates
every person’s unique identity and gifts.”
The drag
group hosted by the “church” was previously criticized for its mock
crucifixion of Jesus Christ that took place during one of their drag
performances.
The
disturbing video went viral ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers MLB team hosting
the group for one of its “Pride Night” events earlier this year.
Just last month, a member
of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence was arrested in California for allegedly
masturbating in public for over an hour straight.
The meshing
of the LGBT movement and modern churches is an intentional attack on religious
Americans as they’re some of the last people with strong enough moral
fibers to resist the globalist agenda.

Federal Reserve losing $758 Million PER DAY- Now in the Hole for $100 Billion
Nation Hal Turner 15 September 2023 Hits: 11431
The Federal Reserve Bank is losing $758 Million PER DAY paying Interest to commercial banks on Reverse Repos and Interest on Reserves. Those losses just reached $100 Billion -- with a "B."
Before all of these wild financial games began, the Federal Reserve would send its profits to the US Treasury each year; it was usually a few Billion Dollars each year.
Now, the Federal Reserve has massive paper losses on their Bond portfolio and masses daily losses on the money it has to pay to commercial banks to keep the system from falling apart.
Federal Reserve Chairman Powell and company have managed to lose a whopping $100 Billion . . . and YOU are paying for it.
It is difficult to overstate the level of sheer incompetence needed to have a money printer . . . and still lose money. Here, look:
Next stop: -$200 Billion.
Hal Turner Editorial Opinion
When a country's Central Bank starts literally LOSING money each and every day . . . countries around the world will start to notice really fast. Especially when there is no sign at all that these losses will stop.
So how long do YOU think countries around the world will continue to accept "Federal Reserve Notes" (i.e. the cash in your wallet) as payment for goods and services, from an entity which is literally Bankrupt?
Sooner or later, those countries around the world will no longer want the paper with pretty pictures on it, masquerading as "money."
I have no idea WHEN that refusal will start, but given what's now taking place at the US central bank, I suspect it will not be long.
Now, that paper with pretty pictures on it will still be accepted as "money" here in the US, but . . . . we don't manufacture very much of anything in this nation anymore. We import most of the things we consume because the Brainiacs of corporate America decided it would be better to outsource manufacturing to other countries.
Those corporate Brainiac Titans never stopped to consider the effect on the nation as a whole, they were only interested in how much extra money they could put in THEIR pockets by outsourcing manufacturing overseas.
So now, the Brainiacs are wealthier, and the country - and its currency - is going down the tubes.
So when you see those corporate Titans, and admire how much wealth they have, remember, they wrecked the entire country to get it.
Turns out, they weren't nearly as smart as they thought they were; they were just greedy, dumb, fucks.
In case you're not certain about whom I am speaking, it's all those "FREE TRADE" dingbats.
So head back into search engines like Google, and start looking up "Free Trade" and watch whose names come up. Then you'll know who needs straightening out on a personal level.
UPDATE 12:28 PM EDT --
I just got a communication from someone WAAAAAAAAAY up in the financial sector. He told me this situation is causing almost panic in a LOT of financial firms. He then told me, verbatim, the following: "The parasites are looting the place on their way out the door. They know the jig is up."

Don’t take the mark of the beast, stay in my word. etc
Revelation 13:18 16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18 This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.

How A Cashless Society Is A Precursor To Enforcing The Mark Of The Beast
Joe Rogan is a comedian, podcast host, and UFC commentator. His podcast, which I do not endorse with the rank language he often uses, has over 15 million subscribers. He's a major influencer in our culture today and an unbeliever.
A couple of weeks ago, he had a guest named Duncan Trussell, who is a stand-up comic, writer, and actor. Surprisingly, they discussed for quite some time how a cashless society is a precursor to enforcing the mark of the beast.
During his program, Joe Rogan asks, "How long before we're a cashless society?" Trussell responded:
"Hopefully, forever. It is so scary to imagine losing privacy completely because every transaction is in the public eye and is observable... This is where I get scared because it's too similar to the mark of the beast. It's too similar to exactly what the Bible in the book of Revelation says. You won't be able to trade, you won't be able to do anything unless you have the mark, unless you bear the mark."
This response led Joe Rogan to say, "How's the Mark of the Beast described in the Bible? I think we're onto something here."
Rogan then pulled up the Bible and read from Revelation 13:11-18, a section that describes the coming false prophet, a kind of second in command or the lieutenant of the coming antichrist, who is going to make an image to him. The influential podcast host read this entire section live on his broadcast.
This is a well-known unbeliever talking at length about the mark of the beast, reading the book of Revelation, making this connection between a cashless society and the rise of the antichrist.
On the heels of that conversation, the new "Amazon One" technology is about to go nationwide. A recent headline from CBS News reads, "Amazon releases new cashless 'pay by palm' technology that requires only a hand wave."
This article discusses the use of biometric palm scanning technology, which again, is part of this cashless society that Joe Rogan was talking about:
Amazon is taking cashless payments to another level.
In a new rollout, the tech giant is giving customers another contactless way to pay for groceries -- with their palms.
In a statement Thursday, Amazon announced that the palm recognition service, called Amazon One, will be used for payment, identification, loyalty membership, and entry at over 500 Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh locations across the nation by the end of the year.
Instead of pulling out a credit card or even a phone for Apple Pay, subscribing customers will simply have to hover their palms over an Amazon One device to pay.
For decades, Bible prophecy teachers have been saying that there is going to be a cashless society. The only way that the antichrist can control the world economy is for there not to be cash. As long as there is, people can use cash to operate in a way that is undetected.
The article continues:
The technology is already available at 200 locations across 20 U.S. states including Arizona, California, Idaho, Oregon and Mississippi...
Panera Bread, for example, has adopted the technology so that customers can simply wave their hands above the device in order to pull up their MyPanera loyalty account information and pay for their meals.
At Coors Field stadium in Colorado, customers trying to purchase alcoholic beverages can hover their palms over the Amazon One device to verify they are 21 or older.
It's being used now in several different convenience stores. It's being used at Hollywood casinos in Detroit. It's also being used by many airport travel retailers.
Another article from LifeWire reports, "This means you won't need your wallet, purse, or even your phone to complete transactions. You just need your palm." Basically, this turns your hand into a personal credit card.
"How does this work?" the article goes on. "You pre-enroll via your Amazon account, using a credit or debit card. Next, you head over to an Amazon One palm-reading device to make a scan."
Now, this is powerful. LifeWire says, "The algorithm matches unique elements of your palm with your account information... It doesn't just use images of the palm to identify a person, but also incorporates the underlying vein structure. "
CBS went on to state:
A palm is the safest biometric to use because you cannot identify a person by it, Amazon said. The tech company assured customers that their palm data will not be shared with third parties, including "in response to government demands."
Including "in response to government demands"? Well, in the future, this is going to be taken over by the antichrist. He's going to rule the world and rule this economy.
It's important to understand that these technologies that we're talking about here (Amazon One, different chip technologies, or biometrics) are not the mark of the beast, but they're part of the infrastructure he will use to control the world economy. I think he will use these things alongside the mark of the beast. He will use every kind of technology he can to control, monitor, and surveil people's lives and finances. When you control people's money, you control their life.
All of this is part of the continued setup and setting the stage for the global economy and the antichrist.
People want to know, what is the mark? In his podcast, while Joe Rogan is trying to understand what the Mark of the Beast is, somebody sends him a note telling him that the word "mark," in the Greek, is the word "charagma." He says it wrongly several times, trying to pronounce the Greek word before talking about the meaning.
Nine times in the New Testament, you have the word "charagma" used for this mark, eight of those times in the book of Revelation.
The only time it's not in Revelation is in Act 17:29, which says: "Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven [or etched] by art and man's device."
So, this mark of the Beast is going to be an etching, a tattoo, or a brand; whatever it is, it will be upon the right hand or the forehead of people during the tribulation period. It will be instituted at the midpoint of the seven-year tribulation when the antichrist rules the world politically, economically, and religiously.
It says in Revelation chapter 13 that 666 is the number of a man, the number of his name. In both Greek and Hebrew, all the letters of the alphabet have a numerical value associated with them. When the antichrist appears, his name will equal 666. I'm sure you can look today and find all kinds of people whose names equals 666, but that's jumping the gun to do that; he's not going to be revealed until after the rapture.
When people take the mark of the beast, they'll literally be taking the name of the antichrist on their right hand or forehead. It will be a pledge of allegiance, a loyalty oath to the antichrist, that they now belong to him, but he owns them. If people don't take the mark, they're going to be shut out of the worldwide economy.
It's all here, it's all in place, and all that has to happen is the rapture. One of these days, the curtain of the in times will go up when the rapture takes place, and the antichrist will rise, and the mark is going to engulf the whole world.
God didn't tell us these things to scare us. He gave these things to us to prepare us. I hark back to what was said during Joe Rogan's podcast, "It's so scary." Well, it's not to make us anxious but to make us alert and aware.
And so for those of us who know the Lord, we see these things, and it foreshadows the fulfillment of prophecy, of the coming cashless society, and the mark of the beast. It's a major signpost towards the soon coming of Jesus Christ. You and I need to make sure that we're ready.

Japanese Panic Buy Gold As Yen Implodes, Inflation Soars
The otherwise quiet (and rapidly aging) population of Japan has found a new infatuation with gold, and it has the relentless money-printing juggernaut that is the BOJ to thank for it.
By Zero Hedge Friday, September 15, 2023
A gold-buying frenzy in hyperinflating banana-republic basket cases such as Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Argentina or Turkey makes sense; one can also imagine Indians and Chinese liquidating rushing to buy the precious metal, as they periodically do (for other, not less relevant, reasons). But Japan?
That’s right: the otherwise quiet (and rapidly aging) population of Japan has found a new infatuation with gold, and it has the relentless money-printing juggernaut that is the BOJ to thank for it.
As the FT reports, the price of gold in Japan (denominated in that joke of a currency, the Japanese lira yen) has jumped to an all-time high as the yen extends its historic slide against the US dollar, vaporizing the purchasing power of residents and forcing cash-rich households to find a hedge against ubiquitous inflation.
Buying of yen-denominated gold at the nation’s largest dealer has driven the price of the yellow metal above the ¥10,000 per gramme level for the first time in recent days. It was trading at ¥10,100 last week, according to retail prices published by Tanaka Kikinzoku, one of Japan’s largest gold retailers.
The retail gold price in Japan — the main reference price for the metal in the country — tracks global spot prices, which have been pushed up by the coronavirus pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the debt ceiling crisis in the US and global tensions between the east and west. But most of all, it reflects the dramatic collapse in the value of the yen, which recently passed ¥147 against the dollar, a level that last year triggered verbal market intervention by the Japanese authorities but this year has been widely ignored by a central bank which realizes that intervention at this point is futile and would only precipitate Japanese hyperinflation and systemic collapse.
And since Japan’s inflation, which recently surpassed that of the US, will keep rising…
… as the weak yen will only get weaker – occasional desperation intervention aside – as long as there was no signal from the Bank of Japan that it is ready to tighten its ultra-loose policy which won’t happen for a long time (and when it does, it will spark a collapse in the JGB bond market forcing the trapped BOJ to immediately reverse once again) demand for gold in Japan will only keep rising.
Economists cited by the FT, said the move in retail gold prices, which extends an 18-month rally at gold stores around Japan, was part of a rapid shift in household attitudes to risk as years of deflation have given way to rising consumer prices.
Imagine a world where the biggest source of demand for gold in Asia is not India but Japan, and where demand will only rise as the yen (inevitably) falls as it gets closer to its inevitable and catastrophic end. Well, we are pretty much there now.
Jesper Koll, an economist and adviser to the Japan Catalyst Fund, an investment fund, said the primary driver for the buying by Japanese households was an urgent search for inflation protection after years without strong incentive to move assets out of cash.
“The fact that gold is a non-yen asset helps, but the trigger is inflation,” said Koll, and since inflation in Japan is only going to rise, so will demand for gold.
Japanese households emerged from the pandemic with a record of more than ¥2 quadrillion in accumulated assets or around four times the country’s annual gross domestic product. About half of that was held in cash and deposits — a balance closely eyed by Japan’s securities houses, which are trying to convince customers that inflation is here to stay and they now need to switch their savings into other financial products. The problem is that core CPI in Japan reached 3.1% last month.
“Inflation in Japan is at a crossroads,” said Tomohiro Ota, senior Japan economist at Goldman Sachs, noting that although consumer prices keep going up, some of the increase is down to temporary government subsidies while consumption growth has stalled since March. Goldman Sachs predicts that Japan’s currency will hit ¥155 against the dollar in the next six months.
Eiichiro Kato, a general manager for Tanaka Kikinzoku’s Precious Metals Retail Department, said that gold had become particularly attractive to customers concerned about the yen’s fall to multi-decade lows and their assets being denominated in yen.
Of course, it’s not just Japanese savers who are rushing to the safety of gold: a year of record gold purchases by central banks in a world where the dollar is now weaponized against enemies of Ukraine the Biden administration, has made it clear that demand for gold will only rise.
“We do not see many factors that would cause the dollar-denominated price to fall significantly, and we think that the yen-denominated price could rise further if the yen continues to weaken,” said Kato.
However, Hideo Kumano, chief economist at Dai-Ichi Research Institute, warned against reading too much into the rise in Japan’s gold price due to the small size of the market.
“It could prove to be an outlier and the country’s elderly population might not change their behaviour and start to consume, even if inflation does remain high,” he said. On the other hand, with deflation now dead and buried (at least until the next global depression) the odds that Japan’s notoriously thrifty population will continue to save at a time when its currency is collapsing are nil, especially since the BOJ itself has given up trying to contain the surge in yen-denominated gold…
… something it did for much of the previous decade.
A gold-buying frenzy in hyperinflating banana-republic basket cases such as Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Argentina or Turkey makes sense; one can also imagine Indians and Chinese liquidating rushing to buy the precious metal, as they periodically do (for other, not less relevant, reasons). But Japan?
That’s right: the otherwise quiet (and rapidly aging) population of Japan has found a new infatuation with gold, and it has the relentless money-printing juggernaut that is the BOJ to thank for it.
As the FT reports, the price of gold in Japan (denominated in that joke of a currency, the Japanese lira yen) has jumped to an all-time high as the yen extends its historic slide against the US dollar, vaporizing the purchasing power of residents and forcing cash-rich households to find a hedge against ubiquitous inflation.
Buying of yen-denominated gold at the nation’s largest dealer has driven the price of the yellow metal above the ¥10,000 per gramme level for the first time in recent days. It was trading at ¥10,100 last week, according to retail prices published by Tanaka Kikinzoku, one of Japan’s largest gold retailers.

The retail gold price in Japan — the main reference price for the metal in the country — tracks global spot prices, which have been pushed up by the coronavirus pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the debt ceiling crisis in the US and global tensions between the east and west. But most of all, it reflects the dramatic collapse in the value of the yen, which recently passed ¥147 against the dollar, a level that last year triggered verbal market intervention by the Japanese authorities but this year has been widely ignored by a central bank which realizes that intervention at this point is futile and would only precipitate Japanese hyperinflation and systemic collapse.
And since Japan’s inflation, which recently surpassed that of the US, will keep rising…
… as the weak yen will only get weaker – occasional desperation intervention aside – as long as there was no signal from the Bank of Japan that it is ready to tighten its ultra-loose policy which won’t happen for a long time (and when it does, it will spark a collapse in the JGB bond market forcing the trapped BOJ to immediately reverse once again) demand for gold in Japan will only keep rising.

Arizona is hit by huge MONSOON which saw Phoenix battered by torrential rain, and whipped by wind that uprooted trees and destroyed planes - days after breaking 110F heatwave record
Videos shared on social media showed downed power lines and people sheltering from the downpour, with light aircraft near Mesa flipped over
On Wednesday morning, some roads remained closed: at the peak of the downpour, 32,000 people in Arizona were without power
The rains came after a summer of scorching heat in Arizona: As of Saturday, Phoenix has tallied 104 days this year with temperatures over 100F
By Harriet Alexander For Dailymail.com
Published: 19:35 EDT, 13 September 2023 | Updated: 00:24 EDT, 14 September 2023
A monsoon swept through parts of Arizona on Tuesday night, drenching Phoenix and unleashing winds that downed power lines and flipped airplanes on their side.
The intense rainfall came three days after Phoenix hit a new heat record, with the temperature reaching 110F on Saturday - reaching that mark for 54 days this year.
Tuesday's monsoon did not bring large quantities of rain - as of 8am Wednesday, Horseshoe Lake had recorded 2.32 inches in the last 24 hours, while a site in Mesa recorded 2.13 inches - but it fell in a short space of time, drenching Arizonans.
Videos shared on social media showed downed power lines, falling trees and people sheltering from the storm.
At the peak of the outages, more than 32,000 electric customers were without power on Tuesday night.
At Falcon Field airstrip in Mesa, more than an inch of rain fell, but aircraft were seen flipped over and buildings were ripped apart after the storm passed.
One person shared a video on social media of a palm tree being uprooted and falling onto parked cars.
No one was injured during the storm, but flash flooding warnings were in place overnight.
Some roads near Roosevelt Lake remained closed on Wednesday morning.
The heavy rains came as Americans living on the East Coast were anxiously watching the path of Hurricane Lee.
As of 5pm on Wednesday, the National Hurricane Center was predicting the storm would reach northern Maine by mid-afternoon on Saturday, before turning east and heading towards Canada's Maritimes - the three eastern-most provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
The rains in Arizona came after a summer of scorching heat in the Southwest.
Worldwide, last month was the hottest August ever recorded, according to the World Meteorological Organization.
Scientists blame human-caused climate change with an extra push from natural El Nino, which is a temporary warming of parts of the Pacific Ocean that changes weather around the globe.
As of Saturday, Phoenix has tallied 104 days this year with temperatures over 100 F, said Matt Salerno, a National Weather Service meteorologist.
That's in line with the average of 111 triple-digit days every year between 1991 and 2020.
Maricopa County, home to Phoenix and the most populous county in Arizona, also appears headed toward an annual record for heat-associated deaths.
County public health officials have confirmed 194 heat-associated deaths this year as of September 2. An additional 351 cases are under investigation.
There were 425 heat-related deaths last year.
'Our Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. Jeff Johnston, does think heat deaths will surpass 2022. At this point, we do not know by how many. It will be months before Public Health researches all the heat death cases and provides a total,' Jessie Caraveo, spokesperson for the Maricopa County Medical Examiners’ Office, told the Arizona Republic in mid-August.
More than a third of the deaths have been in people between the ages of 50 to 64, according to the report. Roughly three in four deaths have occurred in people outdoors.
Earth has sweltered through its hottest Northern Hemisphere summer ever measured, with a record-warm August capping a season of brutal and deadly temperatures, according to the World Meteorological Organization.
August was about 2.7 degrees warmer than pre-industrial averages.
That is the threshold that the world is trying not to pass, though scientists are more concerned about rises in temperatures over decades, not merely a blip over a month's time.
The world's oceans — more than 70 percent of the Earth's surface — were the hottest ever recorded, at nearly 69.8 degrees, and have set high temperature marks for three consecutive months, the WMO and Copernicus said.
'The dog days of summer are not just barking, they are biting,' said Antonio Guterres, the United Nations Secretary-General.
'Climate breakdown has begun.'

School Militants
By Hal Lindsey
It used to be cause for celebration to see the little ones on their way to school each September. Another school year had begun. When adults saw the children, they took special pleasure knowing that a new group of young Americans was being raised. They would learn essential skills like math, reading, and writing. They would gain crucial knowledge of the world through geography, social studies, and history.
Now when you see the small ones headed for class, you can’t help but worry that they will not be learning basic skills. You question whether their minds will be filled instead with confusion on even the most basic issues. Instead of opening worlds of wonder to their students, you worry that some educators are intent on opening worlds of debauchery and depression.
Basic skills are crucial for the future of democracy. A democratic nation needs voters who read, and not just a little here and there. They need to have learned in school the joy of knowledge acquired through the written word. They need to read and comprehend articles as well as books. One measure of success in creating this kind of reader is to ask if they read on their own just for the fun of it. According to Pew Research, in 2020, only 17% of 13-year-olds read for fun almost every day.
The kids who say they regularly read for fun do better on all standardized tests than their fellow students. Learning to read and to write helps us learn to put concepts into words and words into orderly thoughts. These are essential communication skills. As of April 2021, two-thirds of American children did not read at grade level. And that’s a scandal. Educators know it got worse over the rest of the pandemic, but they’re not yet sure how much worse.
People without these basic skills are handicapped for life. And yet the education departments of some states seem more concerned with indoctrination than in teaching educational fundamentals.
On August 24th, The Daily Signal reported, “A US District Court judge denied Maryland parents’ request Thursday for an order allowing them to opt their children out of instruction using LGBTQ ‘Pride Storybooks.’ Atheist, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and other parents demanded the right to opt out of an LGBTQ book curriculum for pre-K through fifth grades in Montgomery County Public Schools…. Although Maryland law requires schools to allow parents to opt their children out of ‘all sexuality Instruction’ and to provide advance notice for such lessons, the new policy, adopted in March, excluded any opt-out right.”
Similar things are happening in other states. The Daily Wire recently reported, “California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a civil rights lawsuit against a school district on Monday to halt its recently adopted policy that requires schools to inform parents about student gender transitions.”
Big Brother claims to want what’s best for the children, but driving a wedge between child and parent is surely not the answer. In modern history, the attack on families has never been more severe than it is today. This is not about tolerance or caring, but about a militant government takeover of our children’s minds.
Be warned. Jesus said in Matthew 18:6, “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depth of the sea.

American Library Association Chief Says ‘Public Education Needs To Be A Site Of Socialist Organizing’
By Alex Newman September 15, 2023
Government schools and local libraries should be used for “socialist organizing,” the self-proclaimed “Marxist lesbian” chief of the American Library Association (ALA) proclaimed at a major socialism conference last week. The library boss has also becoming notorious recently for hating on parents, families, Christians and anyone else who stands in the way of indoctrinating children.
Speaking after a panel at the Socialism 2023 conference in Chicago organized by a coalition of revolutionaries advocating for the “right” of children to engage in prostitution, among other absurdities, ALA chief Emily Drabinski did not hold back. “Public education needs to be a site of socialist organizing,” she told attendees, many of them actual communists, as reported by an undercover infiltrator.
“I think libraries really do, too,” continued Drabinski, who was scheduled to speak at the event but had her session quietly nixed amid a rising national furor surrounding her extremism. “Classroom libraries, but also school libraries of all kinds… There’s a real opportunity here to both connect [what’s] happening in public education [with] what’s happening in libraries.”
Among other topics, the panel at which Drabinski spoke out included discussion on how teachers could indoctrinate children with Critical Race Theory propaganda, even in jurisdictions that have banned it. “We need to be on the agenda of socialist organizing,” added Drabinski, identifying herself merely as a “librarian” named Emily when taking the microphone.
The ALA president, selected for the post last Spring, sparked a firestorm of criticism nationwide in August after blasting “angry, white mob parents” seeking to protect their children from grooming, sexualization, and LGBT propaganda. She admitted in a 2009 article that she first began identifying as lesbian at 14 after reading in a library book about two homosexuals having “fantastic queer sex in a field.”
The socialism event in Chicago, which featured the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) as a supporter, featured panels on abolishing the family and replacing it with government, as well as “best practices for developing socialist programming for kids.” Another panel called for abolishing police and borders. Yet one more called for an alliance with pro-abortion and “trans” forces to fight Christians.
Following a mass exodus by state school boards from the National School Boards Association after it was exposed asking the Biden administration to target parents as terrorists, opponents of tyranny and the sexualization of children are urging state library groups to ditch the radical ALA. After all, it is critical to putting perverted filth in libraries and the escalating discrimination against Christians.
This summer, citing ALA’s “far-left-leaning ideologies” and a “Marxist” leader, Montana became the first to go. “Our oath of office and resulting duty to the Constitution forbids association with an organization led by a Marxist,” the Montana State Library Commission explained in its July 11 decision to cut ties with the far-left ALA.
Other officials chimed in too. “Ms. Drabinski is a supporter of Critical Race Theory, which Montana rejected as discriminatory, and other far-left-leaning ideologies that have no place in our schools and libraries,” said Montana Superintendent of Public Instruction Elsie Arntzen. “By electing a declared Marxist as their President, the ALA has not only turned its back on families, parental rights, and American values — it has turned its back on America itself.”
Taxpayer funds are being weaponized to foment a revolution against the very taxpayers coerced into footing the bill for this dangerous extremism. It is time for all library systems to leave the ALA and for government schools turning children into Marxist revolutionaries to be shut down.

Editor’s Note: Why Is This News Biblically Relevant?
Cissie Graham Lynch, in her article, “Parents: Get Back In The Fight — Do Not Outsource The Raising Of Your Children,” wrote:
As Christ followers and parents, we live in a spiritual war zone where Satan battles for our children’s hearts and minds. The cultural war raging around us can be overwhelming. Some parents have become weary or too busy to carve out time to shape their children’s understanding of God’s truth—leaving youth pastors to do the fighting for their children’s souls. Sadly, many parents are indifferent to God’s Word and are completely blind to the battle. This complacency has opened the door for the enemy to mold our children’s beliefs through teachers and other outside influences that are executing a different battleplan altogether.
We’ve got to wake up and get back into the fight. Time is of the essence! Satan and his army have a strategic plan, particularly regarding our children’s education. The indoctrination of our children’s minds is happening as early as preschool. And the means employed may seem harmless if we are drifting into slumber and not remaining vigilant.
The combat rages in the classroom as American history is erased and historical facts and events are rewritten. Students are being taught that the Constitution and other pillars of democracy are tenets of a racist system. With school administrations no longer offering transparency about curricula, parents are forced to go to court to find out what is being taught, bringing to light issues like the doctrine of critical race theory, known as CRT.
We cannot outsource the raising of our children to our schools and churches. God’s Word is clear: We bear primary responsibility for our children’s spiritual training and development.

Court approves sex change for convicted killer
After a five-year legal process, the appellant will undergo a gender change.
(September 14, 2023 / JNS)
An Israel court has ordered the Israel Prison Service to allow a convicted killer to undergo a gender change while incarcerated, in a precedent-setting case for criminals.
The ruling handed down by the Court of Administrative Affairs in Lod follows an appeal the criminal—who was convicted over a decade ago of manslaughter and attempted manslaughter as a male and who now wants to become a female—lodged against the Prison Service, according to a report Thursday on Israel’s N12 website.
The appellant has decided to undergo a gender change and was transferred to the Neve Tirtza women’s prison in Ramla in 2019 but was not released to undergo a sex change at a hospital. After a legal process that began five years ago, the court ruled in his favor.
The ruling effectively grants Israeli prisoners the same medical rights as other citizens and opens the door for other transgender criminals to “realize their identity,” according to the appellant’s lawyers.

WATCH – ‘God Is Moving’: Hundreds Baptized in Pond at Auburn University
A huge group of people who showed up Tuesday night at Auburn University’s Neville Arena in Alabama left with changed hearts.
The crowd attended the Unite Auburn event to hear speakers and participate in a worship session. However, the moving night did not end there, 1819 News reported Wednesday.
Following the event, students made their way to Auburn’s Red Barn, where a wave of baptisms took place.
Video footage shows the crowd gathered at the pond while watching others stand in the waist deep water.
Moments into the clip, a man wearing a dark shirt baptizes another young man. The moment he emerges from the water, the crowd erupts in cheers and shouts of joy:
“To God be the Glory!!!!!” one social media user replied to the video clip, while another said, “Beautiful and wonderful to behold.”
Auburn’s basketball head coach, football head coach, and baseball head coach promoted the event featuring Passion Music and speaker Jonathan Pokluda, who is also a pastor in Waco, Texas, according to the 1819 News article:
Pokluda’s message focused heavily on sexual abstinence and purity outside the confines of marriage. He also spoke at length about the dangers of sexual promiscuity and pornography use from a biblical perspective. Pokulda also remarked that he had never seen “such a clear and obvious movement of God” in his “entire life.”
He also told the young people a baton was about to be passed to them and “you’re going to have to carry it out of this place for God to do something in and through this place.”
WSFA reported approximately 200 people were baptized after the service that was free to attend.
Student Michael Floyd told the outlet he would never forget the incredible evening.
“It’s just a message of unity, saying when you’re a part of the body of Christ, you’re never alone, ” Floyd stated.
In a social media post Wednesday, Unite Auburn said, “We are still speechless and in awe of what God did last night. Hundreds of students were baptized at Red Barn.”
“Thousands cheered as they were raised from death to life. God is moving on Auburn’s campus and it doesn’t stop here,” the post stated.

CDC Admits ~120,000 Children "DIED SUDDENLY" after COVID-19 "Vaccine" Roll-out
Nation Hal Turner 15 September 2023 Hits: 26421
On June 17, 2022, the FDA authorized emergency use of the mRNA Covid vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech to include use in children down to 6 months of age. Turns out, it KILLED a lot of them.
Just over a year later, the report – which was quietly released by CDC and subsequently suppressed by the mainstream media – revealed that nearly half a million children and young adults have now died since the injections were approved for use on most children.
Over 118,000 of those deaths are suspected to be DIRECTLY linked to the Covid vaccines’ side effects.
Despite the staggering death toll revealed in the report, it has been met with deafening silence from the mainstream media.
The latest data from the CDC has just been published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OEC).
The OEC is an intergovernmental organization with 38 member countries and it hosts a wealth of data on excess deaths, including data from the CDC that isn’t easily available to the American people.

“Immunity Certificates” Are Coming – COVID-Survivors To Get ‘Special Passports’ Enabling Return To ‘Normalcy’

If this is true, the severity and death rate could be much lower than anticipated, and we could be closer to herd immunity than projected. Highly accurate antibody tests are scaling production and distribution which will definitively answer this question hopefully soon.
One could imagine a world in the next few months where everyone is tested and all but the immune-compromised go back to a socially distanced but more normal life.

Yay, let’s all cheer for antibody-based freedom.
The rollout of immunity certificates across the world will likely be government-issued to first responders and citizens who have developed resistance to COVID-19.
People who have contracted the virus and have recovered, normally develop antibodies to fight the virus, could be their golden ticket to escape regions that have strict social distancing measures and or lockdowns.
Just imagine, immunity certificates granted by governments to people who have recovered or have developed resistance to the virus could be considered special passports that will allow them to freely travel across states, countries, and or the world — while everyone else remains hunkered down in their homes or doomsday bunkers.
Some of the first talks of this has originated in the UK. The government could roll out immunity passports to Britons who have already contracted and recovered from the virus so they can reenter the economy, reported The New York Times.

Global Takeover Advances to Final Stages
September 15, 2023
Story at-a-glance
The World Health Organization’s pandemic treaty, the amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHRs) and the global One Health agenda are all part of a soft coup, a global power grab
The globalists’ plan for our future can be summarized as “global dominion by the few and total control of the masses”
The technocratic cabal has control over most if not all Western governments, as well as the bureaucratic structure of the WHO; 85% of its funding comes from private entities, so it’s owned by private interests
Based on the current treaty draft and proposed IHR amendments, it’s clear that mRNA-based vaccinations will be mandatory under the WHO’s power structure, and these vaccines will be made in 100 days by skipping human trials and shaving safety and efficacy testing down to the bare bones
Under the treaty, as currently written, nations will be required to surveil and censor social media. The WHO’s narrative will be the only one allowed
In this September 1, 2023, Highwire interview,1 Dr. Meryl Nass, a biowarfare and epidemics expert, exposes the threat posed by the World Health Organization’s pandemic treaty and the amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHRs), which add to and further strengthen the WHO’s powers under the treaty. The WHO’s One Health agenda is also part of this power grab.
Nass also recently published an article, “The WHO’s Proposed Treaty Will Increase Manmade Pandemics,”2,3 in which she reviews the history of biological warfare and the role of gain-of-function research, where we are right now, and what the globalists’ plan for our future is. It’s imperative everyone understand what the plan is, because we can only stop it by rejecting it en masse.
Nass Persecuted by Lawless State Medical Board
But first, Nass provides an update on her personal situation. In January 2022, the Maine medical board suspended Nass’ medical license for spreading “COVID misinformation” and prescribing ivermectin. They also ordered her to undergo a psychological evaluation by a board-selected psychologist. 4 Nass refused.
As she points out in the interview, “misinformation” refers to information that may be mistaken or inaccurate, but being wrong is not a crime — no matter how badly government wants you to think it is.
We have the First Amendment — freedom of speech — for a reason. Government does not have the legal right to suppress our speech, and the medical board is a state government agency. So, by censoring doctors like Nass and punishing them for speaking their minds and sharing medical and scientific data, they are actually the ones breaking the law.
Nass didn’t, because there’s no law against sharing information, even if it is suspected of being incorrect, or can be proven to be wrong. And, in this case, the board is actually punishing her for sharing truths.
So, in mid-August 2023, Nass sued the Maine medical board, and every board member in their personal capacity, for violating her free speech rights. 5
“Telling me that I can’t talk about the vaccine or I can’t talk about the treatment of COVID or masks or distancing, even when the things that I was saying were based on published medical literature, that is a First Amendment violation,” Nass said in a statement.
“The state government and the federal government are not allowed to restrict the speech of people. So we are looking for a jury trial to see whether the Board of Licensure in Medicine is guilty of a malicious, political prosecution and targeting of me.”
The Plan in Broad Strokes
So, what is the globalists plan for our future? Summarized into as few words as possible: global dominion by the few and total control of the masses.
As explained by Nass, the COVID pandemic showed us that the technocratic cabal has control over most if not all Western governments. World Economic Forum (WEF) founder Klaus Schwab has even bragged about how his Young Global Leaders have “penetrated” governments of the world. 6
The technocratic cabal also has control over the bureaucratic structure of the WHO. Eighty-five percent of the WHO’s funding comes from private entities, most of which is earmarked for specific programs. “So, the WHO is already owned by private interests,” Nass says.
According to the WHO, the reason the COVID pandemic got so bad is because nations failed to cooperate. Hence, the reasoning goes, we need an international treaty that centralizes pandemic response powers to the WHO. The problem, of course, is that most nations did follow the WHO’s irrational and unscientific recommendations. Its ineptitude — whether intentional or not — is what destroyed economies and resulted in needless deaths.
Based on the current treaty draft and proposed IHR amendments, it’s clear that mRNA-based vaccinations will be mandatory under the WHO’s power structure, and these vaccines will be made in 100 days rather than 10 years by skipping human trials and shaving safety and efficacy testing down to the bare bones.
The WHO will also decide which medications can be used in medical emergencies, and which you cannot have. In other words, the WHO director-general will decide the health care for every person in every member state, and your local doctor will be required to follow his edicts. You’ll have no medical freedom or bodily autonomy anymore.
Nations will also be forced to implement massive nationwide biosurveillance programs to identify potential pathogens with pandemic potential. This will include swabbing and testing humans, domesticated animals, farm animals, wildlife, farms, factories, wastewater and more, and the chances of finding a pathogen with pandemic potential if searching for it in every nook and cranny of the world are 100%.
The WHO director-general will then have the sole authority to declare a pandemic, or even potential pandemic, at which point all decision-making powers fall under the WHO. However, there are no standards that must be met before a public health emergency can be declared.
The way these documents are written, the director-general can even act on what amounts to hearsay. He doesn’t have to have proof that a pandemic is imminent or in progress. He can act on suspicion. Even more disturbing, the treaty will be in force all the time, so the director-general doesn’t even need to declare an emergency. He will have the authority to dictate public health even when there’s no pandemic. That’s how far-reaching this treaty is.
Nations will also be required to surveil and censor social media. The WHO’s narrative will be the only one allowed. YouTube has already implemented this policy, even though the treaty is not even in place yet.
The History of Biological Warfare and How We Got Here
Nass also reviews the history of biological weapons and why we’re in a situation now where most of the pandemics that have occurred are basically the result of biological weapons development.
In 1969, President Nixon announced the U.S. would end its offensive biowarfare program. This was a strategic rather than altruistic move, because the U.S. was far ahead of other nations when it came to chemical and nuclear weapons. By banning biological weapons, which are relatively simple and inexpensive to create, the U.S. would gain a strategic advantage on the global stage.
Nixon initiated the first global treaty to prevent the creation and use of biological weapons in 1972. The Biological Weapons Convention took effect three years later, in 1975. However, in 1973, genetic engineering was discovered, which suddenly allowed the U.S. to gain a technological advantage that would allow us to make better and more precise biological weapons.
The problem with the Biological Weapons Convention is that there’s no enforcement. To be effective and verifiable, a nation needs to be able to challenge another nation and have the right to carry out inspections, and add sanctions in cases of noncompliance. But this enforcement method was not included, and the U.S. has blocked all efforts to add enforcement articles to the treaty since 1991. So, as explained by Nass: 7
“Under the guise of preparing their defenses against biowarfare and pandemics, nations have conducted ‘dual-use’ (both offensive and defensive) research and development, which has led to the creation of more deadly and more transmissible microorganisms. And employing new verbiage to shield this effort from scrutiny, biological warfare research was named ‘gain-of-function’ research.”
SARS-CoV-2, for example, appears to be the direct result of gain-of-function research. As noted by Nass, it has “unusual homologies (identical short segments of nucleotides) to human tissues and the HIV virus, which may have caused or contributed to the late autoimmune stage of illness, an impaired immune response and ‘long COVID.’”
As such, SARS-CoV-2 is a biological weapon. David Martin, Ph.D., has also done many interviews, speeches and lectures exposing COVID-19 as a biological warfare crime.

Education Nightmare
By Hal Lindsey
With school restarting across America, this seems like a good time to reexamine the fruit of our current educational efforts. Here are a few examples;
On Sunday August 12th, young people marched through the streets of Washington, DC. They said they were there to fight “hate.” As they marched, they chanted, “No border, no wall, no USA at all!”
I mentioned last week the newest member of the New York Times editorial board. Her words are those of an out-and-out racist — openly judging people based on the color of their skin. It’s apparently okay with the New York Times because she focuses her racial hate on white people. She has also advocated the killing of all men.
“Antifa” is supposed to be short for “anti-fascist.” Members of the antifa movement use violence to silence those they disagree with. They use physical intimidation to impose their views and values on others. In other words, the “anti-fascists” are themselves fascist. Their thinking is so skewed that they can’t seem to grasp this obvious fact.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a 28-year-old self-proclaimed socialist, recently won the democratic nomination to represent New York’s 14th congressional district in Congress. She sends fact-checkers into a frenzy with her many bizarre, almost laughable, theories and claims. Yet she has an economics degree from Boston University, where she graduated fourth in her class. That education probably cost about $75,000 a year. And she turned out to be a socialist.
History is full of repressive, socialist regimes directing the lives of millions of miserable people. But you don’t have to look deep in the past to see what socialism does to a country. Just look at Venezuela today. A few years ago, that nation was on top of the world. They have amazing natural resources, including a vast oil supply. But former President Hugo Chávez proudly led his nation in a “socialist revolution.”
Today, Venezuela is falling apart. This week, we learned about hospitals without running water. In fact, much of the nation is without running water. This formerly wealthy country is now full of malnourished people. The International Monetary Fund just predicted that inflation in Venezuela will soon hit 1,000,000%. Let me spell that out so it can really sink in. They are headed for an inflation rate of one million percent! With that, a lifetime of savings can be wiped out in days. But money doesn’t buy much anyway when store shelves are empty. A mass exodus from the country has left it bereft of teachers, doctors, engineers, and oil workers.
It seems obvious that the United States would not want to make the same mistakes. But Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, this rising political star, wants the socialist model for America.
These things are shocking. But they shouldn’t be. They are the result of an education system run amok. Ocasio-Cortez advocates the socialism that her professors taught her. Antifa believes that it’s okay to use fascist intimidation tactics in the battle against “hate” groups because their schools taught them relativistic notions of right and wrong.
There are amazing teachers out there doing their best to stem this tide of destruction. Also, many local school boards are doing everything they can think of to protect our young people.
But an elite few inside a small number of universities write the textbooks, design the curricula, and set standards for accreditation throughout America’s schools. These elites don’t like America very much. And their feelings toward Christianity — especially Bible-based Christianity — are even worse.
Isaiah 5:20 says, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil.” That “woe” firmly applies to this generation of Americans. Calling evil good and good evil is a cornerstone of education in the twenty-first century.
The best way to learn a language is to immerse oneself in a culture that speaks that language. It’s also true of moral languages. The moral language spoken by our culture has a name, though most people don’t realize it. It’s called Humanism. It is the exaltation of humanity and the rejection of God.
Humanism is taught on television shows for toddlers, in Broadway musicals, in books and textbooks, in pulpits, in popular songs, on the news, in film dramas and film comedies. It is the moral language of our culture. It is the context within which our children see the world. This is not a baptism by sprinkling. This is full immersion.
In his book, God’s Prophetic Voices to America, Dr. David Reagan goes to 2 Timothy 3 to show what this ultimately means. That chapter begins by saying, “In the last days perilous times will come.” Then it tells the characteristics of last days humanity that fill these times with peril. Dr. Reagan points out that those characteristics include three things that people will love above all else in the last days — self, money, and pleasure.
He writes, “The love of self is Humanism. The love of money is Materialism. The love of pleasure is Hedonism. These three go hand-in-hand. Whenever Humanism is your religion, your god will be money and your life-style will be given over to the pursuit of pleasure.”
Dr. Reagan goes on to say, “There is a fourth element in this equation. The inevitable product of the love of self, money, and pleasure is Nihilism. That is a fancy philosophical word for despair. And that is exactly where our nation is today.”
What is the answer to this seemingly overwhelming tide? Jesus Christ. Those of us who claim Him need to turn to Him with all that we have. We need to do the things we’ve been taught from the beginning. Study God’s word. Pray. Witness. Fellowship with one another. Engage the world in His love.
As the new school year begins, pray especially for the young. May our youth learn to receive the Lord Jesus as the One who died for our total forgiveness. May He guide you into eternity.

Remember nine one one and what happened when my hand was lifted? What is to come is far worse than that. I have sat back and watched as my word has been removed from your schools.

New Target: Homeschoolers
By Hal Lindsey
The Washington Post called their long, long article “immersive reporting and narrative writing.” But it felt like a hit piece on the rapidly growing homeschool movement in the United States. Homeschoolers now have a target on their backs. The article took aim at them, and others will follow. So, if you are a part of the homeschooling community, get ready. The powers-that-be are about to do everything they can to bring you down.
The Post’s May 30, 2023, article carried the headline, “The revolt of the Christian homeschoolers.” You would think from this headline that the homeschooling movement in the United States is dying. But that’s not true. In fact, it is exploding in popularity. According to Education Week, “American families homeschooling at least one child grew from 5.4% in spring 2020 to 11.1% in fall 2021, according to a U.S. Census Bureau analysis. The number of Black families choosing to homeschool increased five-fold during that time, from 3.3% to 16.1%.”
Many factors are driving the movement. First, lots of parents are not happy with public school curricula. There seems to be ever less emphasis on the basic life skills of math, reading, and writing. This brings us to a second factor — the terrible results in public schools. They keep making “standardized” tests easier, but scores continue to go down despite easier tests. This is especially true among boys. Other parents fear for their children’s physical and mental wellbeing at public schools — many being overrun by bullies and bullying.
There are several other factors involved, but you get the idea. I’m not saying whether parents should or should not homeschool. Every child and every family present a unique situation. But I do believe it is a brave and reasonable choice.
The elites who believe they should run everyone’s lives don’t like it. If you homeschool your children or hope to in the future, you need to be aware of a coming backlash. Elites and their friends in the media seem to be gearing up for a push to make you a pariah. The Post article made homeschoolers seem like child abusers, with nefarious motives for wanting to keep their kids away from public schools. I think you should prepare yourself for more such attacks.
Back in 1972, the Supreme Court made a crucially important ruling. In Wisconsin v. Yoder, it said that Amish parents have a right to keep their children out of public schools for religious reasons. That should mean that you have the same right, but we can expect that to be challenged in the future. We can also expect more hit pieces from the mainstream media.
The overall success of homeschooling cannot be denied. Parents willing to take on such a huge commitment should be praised. At the same time, anyone considering the move should be aware that it is a huge commitment, and there will be challenges. Still, for those who do it right, the rewards will be even greater.
The battle for the minds of our children rages on. Whether you have children, grandchildren, or none of the above, this is a matter for serious prayer and resolute action. These kids need you. Pray for them, befriend them, and encourage them in the Lord.

Sexually Askew
By Hal Lindsey
Mary Kay Letourneau was an elementary schoolteacher who became infamous in 1997 after she became pregnant by her 12-year-old student. His extreme youth combined with the seeming rarity of a female teacher being accused of statutory rape created an international sensation.
After pleading guilty and getting a light sentence, she agreed to probation that included no further contact with the child. But two weeks after her short jail sentence, she was caught having sex with him in her car. Then pregnant with his second child, she went to prison for much longer. By the time she got out, the boy had reached the age of 21. The court dismissed the no-contact order, and the two of them got married. They remain married today.
I don’t mean to belabor Letourneau’s strange saga. I wouldn’t even use her name if she hadn’t written a couple of books about the affair. She came to mind because of a recent news story about a high school in Louisiana where four teachers in ten years have been arrested for having sex with students.
After Letourneau, it seemed like there was an epidemic of arrests for teacher-student sex in America’s schools. It became big news, and then quickly became old news. There seemed to be a new teacher-student sex scandal every week. The whole thing got old. News coverage of such arrests are now mostly confined to local media outlets, and even there the stories hardly ever make the front page. The Louisiana case briefly made national news only because it involved so many teachers from one school.
These days it seems like no big deal. A well-known conservative news site runs stories on the topic with a wink and a nod. One headline read, “Hot English Teacher Victimizes Two 18-Year-Old Males By (having sex with) Them.” They used juvenile language for “having sex with.” The coverage generally sounds like frat boys laughing and having fun at the thought of male students “getting lucky.”
In 1993, Daniel Patrick Moynihan wrote a paper called “Defining Deviancy Down.” Moynihan was a democratic Senator from New York, and a renowned sociologist. “Defining Deviancy Down” is based on the idea that “the number of deviant offenders a community can afford to recognize is likely to remain stable over time.”
In other words, a society will only call something deviant if the number of people participating in that behavior stays below a certain threshold. When enough people embrace an activity, what once seemed deviant begins to seem normal. That’s the danger of the mob, except with a mob, the process happens almost instantly. Humans fall into debauchery when they see significant numbers of other people doing it.
Some people hear this and think, “How bad can it get?” That’s because they are blind to how bad it has already become. This society is accepting, even celebrating things that it abhorred only a couple of generations ago. The people of those previous generations would have said the same thing. “The older generation always worries that the world is going to hell in a hand basket. But how bad can it get?”
How bad? Where does it go from here? What will future generations see as normal that the present generation can’t conceive of? It can get worse than you can imagine.
The nation through whom God gave His word to the world became so debauched that they sacrificed their own children in the fires of pagan religious rituals. Jeremiah 7:30-31 says, “‘For the sons of Judah have done that which is evil in My sight,’ declares the Lord… ‘They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I did not command, and it did not come into My mind.” (NASB)
In Ezekiel 16:20, God said to Israel, “You took your sons and daughters whom you had borne to Me, and you sacrificed them to idols to be devoured.” (NASB)
Even followers of Christ can be susceptible to defining deviancy down. It happens when we begin to judge ourselves by societal norms instead of God’s word. He holds the plumb line. We measure ourselves by Him.
Teacher-student sex did not begin with Mary Kay Letourneau. In fact, her own father, a well-known Congressman in the 1970s, John G. Schmitz, lost his political standing when it became known that he had fathered two children with someone who had been his student when he had taught a college government class. But it has grown dramatically worse in a short time.
Sex is the easiest way for advertisers to get attention, or to give video gamers a shot of adrenaline, or to get people out to see a movie, or to tune in to a particular television show. So, as a society, we are inundated with sexually charged images and messages from the time we turn on the radio in the morning to learn about the traffic and weather, all the way through prime time television viewing in the evening. Thousands of carefully crafted messages hit our minds every day. A high percentage of them are sexually charged.
As a nation and a society, America has become hypersexualized — yet without the constraints of a biblically based understanding of right and wrong. Is it any wonder that human trafficking has become such an enormous problem, and a source of pain and misery to the millions enslaved by it?
God allows evil to go only so far. Either there will be a spiritual awakening with millions repenting and coming to Christ, or America will face God’s judgment.
There is hope. Jesus said, “If therefore the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.” (John 8:36)

Ukraine Scores Big Hits; Destroys Russian Submarine and Landing Ship
World Hal Turner 13 September 2023 Hits: 7167
Ukraine has successfully attacked the Russian port of Sevastopol on Crimea, and destroyed the Russian Submarine "Rostov-on-Don" and the Landing Ship "Minsk" (pictured above). Both vessels were in dry dock for repairs.
We learned about the consequences of Ukraine's attack on the Sevmorzavod (dry dock/shipyard) in Sevastopol last night. Sources in the Black Sea Fleet, in the General Staff and in the Sevastopol government told us the following:
As a result of the missile strike, 11 people were killed - factory workers and military. 31 people, according to the latest data, were injured.
The Ukraine missiles completely destroyed two vessels – the large landing ship Minsk and the submarine Rostov-on-Don. Both vessels were in for repair but are now not salvageable. In addition, two more vessels were damaged at the Sevmorzavod Ship Yard, and it may be possible to restore them. Authorities refused to say the names of these ships, "so that the enemy would not receive valuable information about the result of his attack."
According to updated data, eight Ukrainian missiles and two naval drones were fired at Sevastopol. The drones were destroyed, and only two of the missiles were shot down, so the damage from the impacts is serious.
Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvozhaev has already demanded to strengthen the city's air defense.
During the missile strike last night, panic began in Sevastopol. The police received information that saboteurs were operating in the city, and sent several patrols to search for them. One of them mistook an armed military patrol for saboteurs and opened fire on his own. As a result of the shootout, four people were killed - three soldiers and one policeman.
The Submarine B-237 "Rostov-on-Don", passed tests and entered the Russian Navy fleet in 2014. It cost about $300 million and was a Kalibr missile carrier.

The Government Slaughter in Lahaina: Maui Revisited!
By Gary D. Barnett September 13, 2023
“Whoever lays his hand on me to govern me is a usurper and tyrant, and I declare him my enemy.”
~ Pierre-Joseph Proudhon
We are in the midst of a heinous crime in what is falsely referred to as the ‘American’ State of Hawaii, so vile and evil, that it should sicken all who have any remote possibility of exhibiting mental acquaintance with truth, compassion, or empathy. The State’s attack on the people of Maui was in my studied opinion, premeditated, brutal, murderous beyond explanation, and targeted to achieve a preconceived agenda which was the total destruction of Lahaina by extreme property devastation and mass death of much of the local population. This was necessary in the mind of the State in order to steal the land and rebuild based on the World Economic Forum and U.N. plan for captured cities, as evidenced by the evil piece of garbage governor, Josh Green, who immediately claimed he wanted to acquire by theft the purposely destroyed land and property for the State, while smoldering embers still burned, and bodies had not been found.
Today, I went to the ten top mainstream news sites searching all news stories, and did not find a single story about the Lahaina fires, except one showing the slimy Biden sleeping while at a meeting with Maui victims; this after offering these victims $700 per family after they had lost everything, including many of their family members. In other words, this story has been purposely scrubbed from view, not different than what happened after the intentional chemical fire devastated East Palestine, Ohio, and left that town and many others with deadly pollutants. A tall black fence was actually built around the town of Lahaina, at taxpayer cost of course, and a no fly zone order was given to hide the gruesome murder scene from any view and scrutiny.
What is insanely troubling about the reporting concerning this horrific crime in Maui by all mainstream outlets, and even many alternative sites, is that most continue to call this a ‘wild fire,’ while the evidence of such nonsense does not exist. The anomalies and reactions to this so-called ‘natural’ event, are staggering beyond recognition, and reek of the stench of total corruption at the highest levels. This was a land grab of epoch proportion, but it was much worse than that, as high death counts were pursued by the State thugs, as they locked the residents of Lahaina inside the rings of deadly fire likely caused by directed energy and microwave attacks; creating fires that were strategically targeted, with heat that was in some cases double that of any wild fire. This was clearly evident given the melting of aluminum and steel, and also the melting of automobile windshields which requires heat at or above 2,500 degrees. Cars were melted where no evidence of a fire was even present, and the scene looked eerily similar, almost exact, as to what happened in New York on September 11, 2001. This is not coincidental, it is apparent, and telling of a pre-planned slaughter and mass destruction.
The fires in Maui that were said to have been caused ‘naturally,’ a brazen lie, were almost identical to the fires in Paradise, California as well; fires that were targeted, burning homes to white ash without burning trees or plastic, and in areas desired by the State criminals for rebuilding so-called “smart cities.” In Lahaina, homes of the very rich were magically spared, as were certain state buildings, grand hotels, and other areas of State favor. But the homes and families of the local residents were attacked head on, with absolutely no regard for the lives or property of these innocent people. The ‘crime’ supposedly committed, as seen by the State, was not bowing down, and giving up their homes and lives voluntarily, so a direct false flag action of slaughter and murder was created to complete the State’s agenda of land theft. To hell with the people and their property was the private battle cry of these State politicians and their murderous enforcers called police.
No sirens were turned on even though there were 80 active sirens on Maui. All water was turned off so fires could not be fought. Wi-fi was turned off, as was most all electric power. Roads out were closed, and police roadblocks were manned to forcibly keep all the residents inside the fire perimeter, causing purposeful mass death. Schools were shut down, so that children were home alone when these intentional fires raged through Lahaina, and many burned to death without help from any State service. The real numbers of deaths are still being hidden as far as I can tell. In addition. before and after the fire, speculators were attempting to buy these properties, and while bodies were still unfound, the government announced its intentions to buy up this land. None of these are coincidences, but the State and its complicit media would have you believe that all of these, and many, many, more impossibilities are all coincidental. How could anyone with two brain cells to rub together, buy into the propagandized narratives being presented by the evil State?
I fully realize, especially considering the nearly complete lack of any ability to think critically by the masses, that what I am presenting here will be ignored by a very large swath of the population. The long-term dumbing down of individuals, and the now digitally-manipulated population, has embraced indifference to such an extent, as to have escaped all reality. In fact, common sense, logic, and reason appear to be nearly non-existent generally speaking. It is much easier for the collective herd to believe the State narratives than to do the work necessary to ferret out fact and truth. Unfortunately, the ruling class understands this weak and apathetic trait that seems to have captured the very large percentage of dead men walking among us. How much more obvious corruption, lies, and murder at the hands of the State will have to take place before any majority comes to terms with the reality that this world is ending in favor of mass slavery and depopulation? Will the flock ever fight back?
The forced annexation of Hawaii, the staged Pearl Harbor attack, the world wars, Operation Northwoods, MK Ultra, the Cuban missile crisis, the JFK assassination, Operation Gladio, U.S. aggressive invasion after invasion, Desert Storm, 9/11, the Patriot Act, the War of Terror, the fake ‘covid pandemic,’ bogus ‘climate change, intentional chemical spills, and weather geo-engineering; these just a few of the major false flag events, and government terror operations that have taken place. Now there are deliberately set fires in Canada, all over the U.S., Hawaii, Australia, Turkey, Greece, China, and many other areas, and the sheep continue to hide their proverbial heads in the sand.
Everything happening is planned, and being done intentionally in order to achieve a particular agenda. This has been outlined, discussed openly, warned about, written about in policy journals at the WEF, WHO, U.N., and most everywhere else I might add. The big picture has been discussed for decades, and the agenda being sought is a one-world governing order, where the ‘elite’ rule all, and the rest of us are slaves of the State. This agenda is as clear as day, so why cannot the lowly collective herd see that the way to achieve this evil goal is for the State to destroy the current system in favor of a system that will allow the control of everyone? Each planned event, whether fire, weather, war, geo-engineering, bio-weapon production and use, fake ‘viruses,’ and every so-called emergency, are staged only to create fear and panic through economic devastation, property theft, (land grabs) monetary and transaction digitization, mass surveillance, and total censorship.
Will the blind ever see, will the deaf ever hear, will the dumb ever speak, or will the bulk of this dependent and lazy population, simply sit back locked inside their cell phones and ‘social media’ absurdity, waiting for the end of times?
No one should forget or ignore what happened, and is happening in Maui. Your neighborhood could be next, and what chance will you have given the advanced weapon systems being used against us by the military industrial complex, and its controllers? The government controls nothing, as all politicians and their enforcers are fully controlled themselves, and act on orders from the real ruling class. Denounce them, abandon them and eliminate them, so that the real rulers will have no cover!
“I have certain rules I live by. My first rule: I don’t believe anything the government tells me. Nothing. Zero.”

Walmart to reopen with a POLICE SUBSTATION to combat SURGING THEFT cases
09/12/2023 // Belle Carter // 8.8K Views
As the whole world adjusts to the post-pandemic world, retailers face difficulties amid shrinking inventories due to the prevalence of crime and violence, including theft, shoplifting, and other fraudulent activities. In fact, a recent Retail Workplace Survey by Loss Prevention Magazine found that 60 percent of retail workers saw some form of ruthlessness on the job over the past 12 months.
The said business challenges in more populous or urban areas are also the reason why two Atlanta-based Walmart locations (Howell Mill Road and Vine City) closed. However, recently Walmart announced plans to reopen one of the branches but this time, with major upgrades and distinctive features. While the Howell Mill Road branch is to remain permanently closed, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens said the former Vine City Supercenter will reopen with a pharmacy, grocery store, and police station.
Theft has gotten so bad in the area that the retail giant resorted to this measure. The said store is set to open in May of 2024, following a nearly year-long closure after the shoplifters reportedly set the building on fire to distract from their thieving. When it reopens, the store will be a Neighborhood Market, which is typically one-fifth the size of a Supercenter." After talking with the Merchants Association on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, Clark University and other people in the neighborhood, folks were saying they want to see more police presence, Dickens said.
Having a police substation in a Walmart branch is a first, but officials believe an increased police presence will help to prevent in-store crime to make shoppers feel safer. The substation will also feature a place for police to charge their phones and body cameras, as well as have meetings and file documents. Dickens added that he hopes the police station will help Walmart leadership feel confident that inventory shrinkage won't be as pervasive of an issue and hopefully prevent them from leaving, as was the case in Chicago.
Brighteon.TV
The largest retailer that operates hypermarkets and discount department stores has locations within 10 miles of 90 percent of the population, offering cheap items and a convenient shopping experience until theft became rampant. "It's higher than what it has historically been. We've got safety measures, security measures that we've put in place by store location," Walmart CEO Doug McMillon told CNBC in late 2022. "I think local law enforcement being staffed and being a good partner is part of that equation, and that's normally how we approach it. If that's not corrected over time, prices will be higher, and/or stores will close."
Halfway through 2023, 22 Walmart stores had closed as of June. Four of those stores were in Chicago alone (eight were in Illinois). "These stores lose tens of millions of dollars a year, and their annual losses nearly doubled in just the last five years," Walmart wrote in a press release following the Chicago closures, adding, "We have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the city...It was hoped that these investments would help improve our stores' performance. Unfortunately, these efforts have not materially improved the fundamental business challenges our stores are facing."
Other retailers to close down if theft does not stop
In the past years, Walmart has not been the only supermarket that was forced to shut down its stores due to crime and violence. Reports declare that shoplifting reached alarming levels and other large retailers, including Target, Macy's, and Best Buy are now making good on threats to shutter outlets if petty crime does not decrease.
Walmart lost a whopping $3 billion annually to theft and shoplifting incidents while Target, a retailer known for selling a variety of food, household goods, clothing, and electronics, has also announced it is closing four stores in three cities in the coming months after it lost $400 million in profits last November also due to organized gangs of pilferers. Meanwhile, discount retailer Dollar Tree said during its August earnings call, that it would be taking a "very defensive approach" to theft by increasing the number of products locked behind shelves and even discontinuing certain items at stores that are repeatedly stolen.
In 2021, America's top retailers lost a combined $94.5 billion to shrink, a term used to describe theft and other types of inventory loss. And organized retail crime incidents soared by 26.5 percent in the same year, according to the 2022 National Retail Security Survey. Along with brazen daylight thefts, self-checkouts have also made it easier for people to walk out without paying for items.
Progressive district attorneys in cities like Chicago, New York, Portland, and California have also been blamed for effectively legalizing shoplifting by either not prosecuting thefts under $950, or letting criminals off with a slap on the wrist.

Ukrainians Caught Trying to Sabotage Russian Nuke Plant; Putin says "Trained by British" - for whom "There will be consequences"
World Hal Turner 12 September 2023 Hits: 21327
"Vladimir Putin today warned Britain of 'serious consequences' and said Prime Minister Rishi Sunak 'doesn't understand' the risks after the UK's special forces tried to disrupt Russian nuclear power plants.
President Putin said that Britain's elite forces were training Ukrainian troops on how to damage atomic power plants in Russia.
The Russian President declared dire consequences for the UK while admitting his words would be interpreted as 'nuclear blackmail.'
Putin claimed during a speech at an economic forum in the far eastern city of Vladivostok, that Russia's FSB security service had interrogated a Ukrainian team caught operating inside Russia.
'It turned out to be a sabotage group of Ukrainian special services,' he said.
'Interrogation showed they had been tasked to damage one of our nuclear stations by exploding a power line... to damage the work of the power plant. And this is not the first attempt.'
He alleged: 'During interrogation, they admitted they were trained under supervision of British instructors. Do [the British] understand what they are playing with, or not?
'Are they provoking our response at Ukrainian nuclear sites, nuclear stations, or what?
'Does the British leadership, or the Prime Minister [of the United Kingdom. Rishi Sunak] know what their special services are engaged with in Ukraine?
'Or do they have no clue at all? I assume this is possible, too. I assume it is possible British special services act on the orders of the Americans. Either way, we know the final beneficiary."

VIDEO: Jewish Children Attack Christian Missionaries in Israel
Chris Menahan Information Liberation Sep. 11, 2023
Shocking video going viral on social media shows a large group of Jewish children cursing and assaulting two Christian female missionaries in Israel with their parents' full support.
"You're going to get hurt," one of the Israeli adults tells the Christian women as a Jewish child says, "You daughter of a bitch!"
The Jewish children are seen throwing objects at the women and kicking them while the group orders them to leave, screaming "Go! Go!"
One of the kids fell to the ground after his foot got caught in the Christian woman's dress he was kicking. Nonetheless, he stood back up and got in her face to intimidate her while shouting, "Go!"
The Israeli adults chastise the women for "inciting people" by peaching the Gospel rather than tell their children -- including toddlers -- not to attack them.
Christian leaders in the Holy Land spoke out earlier this year about how Christians are being viciously persecuted, attacked, spat on and abused in Israel under Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right regime with authorities doing little to nothing to hold their abusers to account.
"The frequency of these attacks, the aggressions, has become something new," Vatican-appointed Latin Patriarch, Pierbattista Pizzaballa, told the AP. "These people feel they are protected ... that the cultural and political atmosphere now can justify, or tolerate, actions against Christians."
A Catholic German abbot was filmed being ordered by an Israeli official to hide his cross while visiting the Western Wall in Jerusalem in July.
Earlier this year, two influential members of Israel's Knesset introduced a bill to outlaw teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Israel and sentence violators to prison.
After widespread outrage, Netanyahu said they'd table the bill and one of the lawmakers who introduced it said they're not planning to move forward with the ban "at this stage."
Christians are regularly treated like dirt when they preach the Gospel in Israel and police side with the abusers:
A recent Pew Research poll in America found that Evangelicals have a +39 favorability rating towards Jews but Jews have a -40 favorability rating towards Evangelicals.
This is what our sold-out establishment calls "our greatest ally."
Of course, the Anti-Defamation League has nothing to say about this "hate" -- just as they had nothing to say about Netanyahu's plan to expel all African migrants earlier this month.
If a mob of Christian children together with their parents were seen abusing Jewish women in New York City and trying to expel them from their community for their religious views, it would be international news and the ADL would be screaming for hate crime prosecutions, instead the story has been relegated to social media with the controlled press ignoring it entirely!

Flash Mob Robberies Are Not “Just Kids from Social Media.” They’re Organized Crime.
Daisy Luther
September 12, 2023 20 CommentsThere’s an epidemic spreading across America, and it isn’t the one the mainstream media is talking about. It’s the epidemic of flash mob robberies. This is not only causing problems due to the violence and trauma inflicted on those present during the event. It’s also driving up costs even further in a nation facing unprecedented inflation.
According to Loss Prevention Magazine, each event costs retailers approximately $700,000 for every billion dollars in sales, and it’s happening almost daily.
A lot of people seem to brush off flash mob robberies as a bunch of kids who got together through social media getting out of hand. But they’re symptoms of a bigger rot: organized crime and neutered criminal justice policies that are spreading across our country fast.
What’s a flash mob robbery?
If you haven’t heard of these, you may be wondering what a flash mob robbery is.
A flash mob robbery is a form of organized crime that occurs when groups of people suddenly enter a store, steal as many items as possible, and vanish as quickly as they appear. For those around them, it’s often terrifying and disturbing. The schemes are usually thought out via social media and executed within a matter of minutes. The groups typically disguise themselves by wearing masks, hoodies, or gloves. Often, aggressive behavior is used and causes those who are present great distress.
The trend began in California, but it’s important not to think, “Oh, I’m safe because I don’t live in California.” It’s beginning to spread outside of the state because of several reasons.
1.) Nobody stops them. People in retail outlets just stand back for their own safety. (Most locations require employees to do this.)
2.) On the off chance the criminals are caught, they’re generally released within a matter of hours because of bail reform.
It may just be a big city problem right now, but I am certain we’ll see this spread more and more as the criminally inclined – or even younger folks in general – see others getting away with it with no consequences.
Best Buy has previously cited organized retail crime as the reason their profits have continued to dip.
It’s not just kids out for kicks.
Before we start dumping on the younger generation, however, it’s important to note that, in many cases, this is organized crime. According to the GVWire:
The flash mobs are usually organized by local people who recruit their crews and send them to steal specific merchandise requested by criminal organizations throughout the country, said Ben Dugan, president of the Coalition of Law Enforcement and Retail.
Those who do the stealing get paid between $500 and $1,000 to take as much as they can and bring it back to organizers who ship it to other parts of the country.
“Crew bosses organize them, they’ll give him the crowbars, and in some cases even rent them cars, or provide them with escape routes or a list of products to actually go out and steal. It looks very chaotic but it’s actually very well organized,” Dugan said.
The flash mobs are a symptom. The organizers are the illness.
It’s not just high-end luxury stores either.
The Los Angeles Daily News cited a podcast when explaining the issue in a recent article.
However, according to the National Retail Federation, high-end stores with luxury items represent the minority when it comes to targets for organized retail crime.
“(Organized retail crime) groups also target everyday consumer goods,” David S. Johnston, vice president of asset protection and retail operations with the federation, said in a video the organization made on retail crime. “They have a preference (for) goods of lesser value with an increased resale value.”
Some then sell the stolen merchandise to individuals or a group, called a “fence” by law enforcement, through online marketplaces, swap meets or seemingly legitimate businesses, CHP officials said. The buyers may or may not be aware the items they purchase were stolen.
The LADN continues to explain:
LAPD has dealt with groups of high school kids overwhelming convenience store clerks for several years, but said these flash mobs are well-planned and organized.
“They’ve cased it out, they’ve looked at it, they get it over with quickly,” Pitcher added. “It’s different from the thrill of doing it for public consumption.”
Organized retail crime rings target items that are difficult to track and are easily resold. Stolen items such as Tide detergent, baby formula, cosmetics, Louis Vuitton handbags and vitamins that once were hawked at flea markets or street corners are now fenced online by gangs to raise money for their activities, said Rachel Michelin president and CEO of the California Retailers Association.
“What we are seeing is more sophistication,” Michelin said. “We see a lot more recruiting; they recruit street gangs, the homeless. They will pay them 100 bucks to go in and steal.”
In many cases, the suspects – almost all wearing hoodies and masks – have been in and out in between two and four minutes, Pitcher said. Police are also learning most of the getaway vehicles are either rented under fictitious names, or “cold plated”, meaning they’re affixed with license plates that don’t match the vehicle’s registration, most likely because a thief has stolen a license plate off another car.
Store security isn’t really much help, as the numbers are so overwhelming, and they are restricted by laws that don’t allow them to use force in the protection of merchandise.
Bystanders, whether they’re store staff or shoppers, are encouraged by law enforcement and management to “be good witnesses” and not do anything to prevent the thefts.
What can be done?
Until these crimes are prosecuted and the organizers sniffed out, there’s little that can be done to prevent the ongoing spread of flash mob robberies. Weak policies that allow criminals to leave after being arrested with zero-dollar bail offer little in the way of deterrence.
Mall and retail security expert David Levenberg and Ben Dugan, president of the Coalition of Law Enforcement and Retail, talked to The AP about it:
“Crew bosses organize them. They’ll give him the crowbars, and in some cases even rent them cars, or provide them with escape routes or a list of products to actually go out and steal. It looks very chaotic, but it’s actually very well organized,” Dugan said.
“We’re not talking about someone who needs money or needs food. These are people who go out and do this is for high profit, and for the thrill,” he said.
In some cases, though, the thieves may be copycats rather than people working with organized networks, Levenberg said. He said the thieves may be thinking: “‘Did you see what happened in San Francisco? Let’s go to the Grove and do it.’”
And while smash-and-grab thefts are occurring nationwide, Levenberg said cities with progressive prosecutors — like Los Angeles and San Francisco — are especially hard-hit because the punishments for perpetrators are not as harsh as in other cities.
“The consequences are minimal, and the profits are substantial,” said Levenberg, founder of Florida-based Center Security Services.
There’s not a lot that can be done on the personal end to prevent such crimes.
Retailers are advised not to put expensive goods near windows or exits and to focus employees on keeping customers safe rather than interacting with thieves.
The other important factors are installing district attorneys who are tough on crimes like this. These modern catch-and-release policies don’t work, and we’re seeing what happens when laws are not enforced with enough deterring factors to make people think twice.
The other side of the coin is that you should be careful what you buy off websites like Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. Those bundles of laundry soap you’re getting for a dime might not be as appealing if you realize they could be stolen goods.
If you’re present at a flash mob robbery, think carefully before engaging. Personally, I’m not putting myself or my family at risk to engage with a group of 20+ people intent on stealing someone else’s merchandise. You may feel differently, but it’s essential that you don’t put other innocent people in harm’s way to confront a group of criminals.
What are your thoughts?
Have you ever been present at a flash mob robbery? Have any happened in your state that you know of? What do you think is causing all of this? What do you think should be done to prevent it? What would you do in that situation?
Let’s discuss this concerning phenomenon in the comments section.

Mountains and Mountains of Debt Are Crashing
An avalanche of debt defaults is already on the move with a lot more ready to collapse behind it.
David Haggith
Sep 11, 2023Defaults on loans with banks that are not in the top-100 for size have already risen to the highest record ever!
Even if the Fed stops hiking interest rates (which is unlikely with recent hints that inflation may be back on the rise), the Fed still plans to continue quantitative tightening (QT) for a long time, just as it believed it could do in 2019 … and failed at spectacularly. You don’t hear anyone in the mainstream financial media talking about that as they all act like the only kind of Fed tightening that matters is interest hikes. Those will end and the problems are over (they pretend).
We can see how far the Fed has gotten with its balance-sheet reduction and how far it has to go here:
Oops. My mistake. That’s just unwinding the expansion of its balance sheet that happened in the slow part of the Covid years. It completely misses the absolute wall of quantitative easing (QE) the Fed piled up in the first year of Covid (2020). Here’s the full picture, going all the way back to the Fed’s start of experimental QE:
Wolf Street
The Fed originally said it planned to unwind most of that balance-sheet expansion that the Fed forced into the nation’s money supply at its roots since the Great Recession. You can see how far the Fed got when it tried to take the first pile-up of monetary expansion down from 2018 to the end of summer in 2019 at a more gradual rate than the present. It suddenly had to ramp up money supply to try to stop the huge crisis it created in interbank lending called the “Repo Crisis” or “Repocalypse.”
Next, you can also see how far it got when it attempted to reduce its wall of QE, which it has said was just temporary help, back in early 2020. It managed a mere blip downward before the Fed promised and immediately delivered repetitive doses of more QE with the government’s help in distributing it.
Back in 2019, the Fed’s efforts to recover from the Repocalypse kept becoming more extreme in larger and larger amounts of low-interest overnight loans to banks that proved to be anything but overnight in that the Fed had to endlessly roll them over and increase them to try to keep interbank lending from collapsing entirely. I stated from the first week of that crisis they would never be “overnight loans” for that reason, and that it would have to replace the bonds it had rolled off its balance sheet under that first and failing bout of QT.
It turned out that the Fed’s overnight loans did, indeed, get bigger and higher as it piled money back into its balance sheet without resolving the problem at all. Then Covid -19 hit in 2020, and effectively gave the Fed permission to give up any pretense that it would go back to QT. It slammed the door on the Repocalypse immediately by going back into the biggest quantitative easing in US history (which isn’t an exaggeration; it’s an understatement).
We are now at the point where the Fed has reduced its monetary/balance-sheet expansion by almost as much as it did back in 2018-2019. As a percentage of the total heap, however, it’s only about half as much; but in total dollars, it’s about the same. We already got one clue of what happens within banks and between banks with this level of tightening liquidity in banks when we had a banking collapse last March and April. That happened because the Fed’s QT hugely lowered the value of bonds (including Treasuries) that banks held in their balance sheet.
As another story tells today, the drop in value in bank balance sheets is returning to where it was before all of the Fed’s emergency bank salvation efforts last spring. So, we are getting back to that problem zone, which we left for a little while when the Fed’s and FDIC’s emergency intervention took a lot of bonds out of the market so that bond yields settled back down for awhile; but they have been rising since then.
The Fed will have to do about five times as much QT as it already has just to get back down to where it was pre-Covid when its last QT (the 2018-2019 batch) failed miserably and forced the Fed to do a face-plant on its promises by reverting to all-out QE, which it lamented as having hurt public trust in the Fed.
A good part of the Fed’s QT consists of US Treasuries that the Fed promised it would roll off for years because it originally argued those purchases were merely a necessity of monetary policy, not a situation of the Fed financing the government … because that would be illegal. The proof that it was not “monetizing” the government debt, as such “money-printing” financing is called, would come in the Fed’s eventual unwinding of all of its QE because that would eventually force the government to find private/corporate financing for all of its debt.
Part of the argument against the Fed during the face-plant was that its failure at pulling off QT proved the Fed had, in deed, monetized the US debt, as some of us were saying would prove to be the case all along on the basis that you cannot rebuild an economy on mountains of hot-air money and then suck out all the hot-air without collapsing the ballon economy you created. You see, if the “temporary” measure becomes permanent on the Fed’s balance sheet, that destroys that argument entirely because “permanent” means the Fed is having to continually roll over the government debt it has sopped up, leaving the Fed in a position of being the endless financier and carrier of the government debt.
It looks like the Fed will end up stuck with monetizing the Federal debt, but how far down the perilous slope of demonetization will it attempt to go before it realizes that and chooses to risk accusations that it did what is outright illegal by financing the government with money created out of thin air — third-world style?
I don’t know about you, but I haven’t heard any whispers from the Fed about stopping its QT. I don’t think it wants to hear those arguments again. So, when you hear that we are not going into a recession (an argument last week by Goldman Sachs that I rebutted in my last “Daily Doom”) due to the Fed’s tightening (a “soft landing”), don’t forget that the end of rate hikes is not the end of tightening! There is still that whole mountain of debt that the Fed legally has to roll off and hopes that it can roll off before the Fed gets down to a balance sheet that won’t bring accusations that it merely “saved the economy” by hosing up government debt so the government could get cheap loans to keep the charade of a debt-based economy going.
We don’t know when the Fed will stop QT, but we have every reason all of that massive amount of QT that still has to come down will create havoc in the banking system as it slides. We have reason because we already saw this show up last March. We are further down the QT slope than we were then. Given the problems that a smaller drop already created for banks this year and the Repo problem when the Fed attempted a drop of about this amount (in total dollars) with its first failed attempt of QT, why would anyone believe going much deeper will go so much better? It makes no sense to conclude that. It’s just a wish that runs opposite of everything we’ve already seen about Fed QT. But denial is like that.
So, when I say the Fed will tighten us into a severe recession, I am not making that assessment based on the current jobs market and current problems in the economy or even current inflation, not that those don’t also count. I am not even making just based on the level of interest increases we may have to hit before inflation is tamed. I am also making it based on what the Fed says it is still going to do with government bonds for many months, if not years, to come and how disastrous all attempts to do that have proven to be, forcing the Fed back to QE to save us from the death it sends cascading our way with each attempt.
We can say, “Been there done that, and it wasn’t pretty. Did it again, and it resulted in major bank failures.”
Now think about my opening statement in light of the above:
Defaults on loans with banks that are not in the top-100 for size have already risen to the highest record ever!
And we’re just getting started. The highest customer loan default levels ever are already happening in the small-to-mid-size sector of banking at a time when these banks have a huge amount of reduction yet to come in the value of their reserves as the Fed continues for years to come to keep rolling off bonds, which raises interest rates and reduces the value of the bank’s existing bonds. This statement about record defaults comes from an article titled “A massive credit card debt catastrophe is coming. Even though we are not yet in a recession, banks are already perilously close to collapse.” Now you can see why they are perilously close to collapse.
Then pile on this little fact:
As another story says today (buried in a larger story), the auction of three-year US Treasury notes on Monday drew the highest yield since 2007! Whoopee! Yields are soaring again, and the Treasury has greater and greater auctions in store due to the combined effect of Bidenflation deficit spending and refinancing the years of previous debt that now bears greater interest … all while the Fed plans to continue to roll off a whole lot more Treasury debt than it already has.
MUCH more fun to come.
Then consider this little headline that you can find below: “Usage of the Fed's emergency bank funding facility jumped by $328 million last week.”
Whoa! I wonder what that was all about. We know how those types of things tend to pop up, as in the Repocalypse and as in last March’s bank busts, and suddenly turn out to be more than they initially seemed.
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!

Death by a Thousand Cuts: The Many Ways Our Rights Have Been Usurped Since 9/11
September 11, 2023
Guest Post by John W. Whitehead“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” — Abraham Lincoln
Those who gave us the Constitution and the Bill of Rights believed that the government exists at the behest of its citizens. It is there to protect, defend and even enhance our freedoms, not violate them.
Unfortunately, although the Bill of Rights was adopted as a means of protecting the people against government tyranny, in America today, the government does whatever it wants, freedom be damned.
In the 22 years since the USA Patriot Act—a massive 342-page wish list of expanded powers for the FBI and CIA—was rammed through Congress in the wake of the so-called 9/11 terror attacks, it has snowballed into the eradication of every vital safeguard against government overreach, corruption and abuse.
The Patriot Act drove a stake through the heart of the Bill of Rights, violating at least six of the ten original amendments—the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Amendments—and possibly the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments, as well.
The Patriot Act also redefined terrorism so broadly that many non-terrorist political activities such as protest marches, demonstrations and civil disobedience are now considered potential terrorist acts, thereby rendering anyone desiring to engage in protected First Amendment expressive activities as suspects of the surveillance state.
The Patriot Act justified broader domestic surveillance, the logic being that if government agents knew more about each American, they could distinguish the terrorists from law-abiding citizens—no doubt a reflexive impulse shared by small-town police and federal agents alike.
This, according to Washington Post reporter Robert O’Harrow, Jr., was a fantasy that “had been brewing in the law enforcement world for a long time.” And 9/11 provided the government with the perfect excuse for conducting far-reaching surveillance and collecting mountains of information on even the most law-abiding citizen.
Federal agents and police officers are now authorized to conduct covert black bag “sneak-and-peak” searches of homes and offices while you are away and confiscate your personal property without first notifying you of their intent or their presence.
The law also granted the FBI the right to come to your place of employment, demand your personal records and question your supervisors and fellow employees, all without notifying you; allowed the government access to your medical records, school records and practically every personal record about you; and allowed the government to secretly demand to see records of books or magazines you’ve checked out in any public library and Internet sites you’ve visited (at least 545 libraries received such demands in the first year following passage of the Patriot Act).
In the name of fighting terrorism, government officials are now permitted to monitor religious and political institutions with no suspicion of criminal wrongdoing; prosecute librarians or keepers of any other records if they tell anyone that the government has subpoenaed information related to a terror investigation; monitor conversations between attorneys and clients; search and seize Americans’ papers and effects without showing probable cause; and jail Americans indefinitely without a trial, among other things.
The federal government also made liberal use of its new powers, especially through the use (and abuse) of the nefarious national security letters, which allow the FBI to demand personal customer records from Internet Service Providers, financial institutions and credit companies at the mere say-so of the government agent in charge of a local FBI office and without prior court approval.
In fact, since 9/11, we’ve been spied on by surveillance cameras, eavesdropped on by government agents, had our belongings searched, our phones tapped, our mail opened, our email monitored, our opinions questioned, our purchases scrutinized (under the USA Patriot Act, banks are required to analyze your transactions for any patterns that raise suspicion and to see if you are connected to any objectionable people), and our activities watched.
We’re also being subjected to invasive patdowns and whole-body scans of our persons and seizures of our electronic devices in the nation’s airports. We can’t even purchase certain cold medicines at the pharmacy anymore without it being reported to the government and our names being placed on a watch list.
In this way, “we the people” continue to be terrorized, traumatized, and tricked into a semi-permanent state of compliance by a government that cares nothing for our lives or our liberties.
The bogeyman’s names and faces have changed over time (terrorism, the war on drugs, illegal immigration, a viral pandemic, and more to come), but the end result remains the same: in the so-called name of national security, the Constitution has been steadily chipped away at, undermined, eroded, whittled down, and generally discarded with the support of Congress, the White House, and the courts.
A recitation of the Bill of Rights—set against a backdrop of government surveillance, militarized police, SWAT team raids, asset forfeiture, eminent domain, overcriminalization, armed surveillance drones, whole body scanners, stop and frisk searches, vaccine mandates, lockdowns, and the like (all sanctioned by Congress, the White House, and the courts)—would understandably sound more like a eulogy to freedoms lost than an affirmation of rights we truly possess.
What we are left with today is but a shadow of the robust document adopted more than two centuries ago. Sadly, most of the damage has been inflicted upon the Bill of Rights.
Here is what it means to live under the Constitution, with the nation still suffering blowback from the permanent state of emergency brought about by 9/11 and COVID-19.
The First Amendment is supposed to protect the freedom to speak your mind, assemble and protest nonviolently without being bridled by the government. It also protects the freedom of the media, as well as the right to worship and pray without interference. In other words, Americans should not be silenced by the government. To the founders, all of America was a free speech zone.
Despite the clear protections found in the First Amendment, the freedoms described therein are under constant assault. Increasingly, Americans are being persecuted for exercising their First Amendment rights and speaking out against government corruption. Activists are being arrested and charged for daring to film police officers engaged in harassment or abusive practices. Journalists are being prosecuted for reporting on whistleblowers. States are passing legislation to muzzle reporting on cruel and abusive corporate practices. Religious ministries are being fined for attempting to feed and house the homeless. Protesters are being tear-gassed, beaten, arrested and forced into “free speech zones.” And under the guise of “government speech,” the courts have reasoned that the government can discriminate freely against any First Amendment activity that takes place within a so-called government forum.
The Second Amendment was intended to guarantee “the right of the people to keep and bear arms.” Essentially, this amendment was intended to give the citizenry the means to resist tyrannical government. Yet while gun ownership has been recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court as an individual citizen right, Americans remain powerless to defend themselves against red flag gun laws, militarized police, SWAT team raids, and government agencies armed to the teeth with military weapons better suited to the battlefield.
The Third Amendment reinforces the principle that civilian-elected officials are superior to the military by prohibiting the military from entering any citizen’s home without “the consent of the owner.” With the police increasingly training like the military, acting like the military, and posing as military forces—complete with heavily armed SWAT teams, military weapons, assault vehicles, etc.—it is clear that we now have what the founders feared most—a standing army on American soil.
The Fourth Amendment prohibits government agents from conducting surveillance on you or touching you or encroaching on your private property unless they have evidence that you’re up to something criminal. In other words, the Fourth Amendment ensures privacy and bodily integrity. Unfortunately, the Fourth Amendment has suffered the greatest damage in recent years and has been all but eviscerated by an unwarranted expansion of governmental police powers that include strip searches and even anal and vaginal searches of citizens, surveillance (corporate and otherwise), and intrusions justified in the name of fighting terrorism, as well as the outsourcing of otherwise illegal activities to private contractors.
The Fifth Amendment and the Sixth Amendment work in tandem. These amendments supposedly ensure that you are innocent until proven guilty, and government authorities cannot deprive you of your life, your liberty or your property without the right to an attorney and a fair trial before a civilian judge. However, in the new suspect society in which we live, where surveillance is the norm, these fundamental principles have been upended. Certainly, if the government can arbitrarily freeze, seize or lay claim to your property (money, land or possessions) under government asset forfeiture schemes, you have no true rights.
The Seventh Amendment guarantees citizens the right to a jury trial. Yet when the populace has no idea of what’s in the Constitution—civic education has virtually disappeared from most school curriculums—that inevitably translates to an ignorant jury incapable of distinguishing justice and the law from their own preconceived notions and fears. However, as a growing number of citizens are coming to realize, the power of the jury to nullify the government’s actions—and thereby help balance the scales of justice—is not to be underestimated. Jury nullification reminds the government that “we the people” retain the power to ultimately determine what laws are just.
The Eighth Amendment is similar to the Sixth in that it is supposed to protect the rights of the accused and forbid the use of cruel and unusual punishment. However, the Supreme Court’s determination that what constitutes “cruel and unusual” should be dependent on the “evolving standards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing society” leaves us with little protection in the face of a society lacking in morals altogether.
The Ninth Amendment provides that other rights not enumerated in the Constitution are nonetheless retained by the people. Popular sovereignty—the belief that the power to govern flows upward from the people rather than downward from the rulers—is clearly evident in this amendment. However, it has since been turned on its head by a centralized federal government that sees itself as supreme and which continues to pass more and more laws that restrict our freedoms under the pretext that it has an “important government interest” in doing so.
As for the Tenth Amendment’s reminder that the people and the states retain every authority that is not otherwise mentioned in the Constitution, that assurance of a system of government in which power is divided among local, state and national entities has long since been rendered moot by the centralized Washington, DC, power elite—the president, Congress and the courts.
Thus, if there is any sense to be made from this recitation of freedoms lost, it is simply this: our individual freedoms have been eviscerated so that the government’s powers could be expanded.
It was no idle happenstance that the Constitution, which was adopted 236 years ago on Sept. 17, 1787, opens with these three powerful words: “We the people.” As the Preamble proclaims:
We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this CONSTITUTION for the United States of America.
In other words, it’s our job to make the government play by the rules of the Constitution.
We are supposed to be the masters and they—the government and its agents—are the servants.
We the American people—the citizenry—are supposed to be the arbiters and ultimate guardians of America’s welfare, defense, liberty, laws and prosperity.
Still, it’s hard to be a good citizen if you don’t know anything about your rights or how the government is supposed to operate.
As the National Review rightly asks, “How can Americans possibly make intelligent and informed political choices if they don’t understand the fundamental structure of their government? American citizens have the right to self-government, but it seems that we increasingly lack the capacity for it.”
Americans are constitutionally illiterate.
Most citizens have little, if any, knowledge about their basic rights. And our educational system does a poor job of teaching the basic freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Teachers and school administrators do not fare much better. A study conducted by the Center for Survey Research and Analysis found that one educator in five was unable to name any of the freedoms in the First Amendment.
Government leaders and politicians are also ill-informed. Although they take an oath to uphold, support and defend the Constitution against “enemies foreign and domestic,” their lack of education about our fundamental rights often causes them to be enemies of the Bill of Rights.
So what’s the solution?
Thomas Jefferson recognized that a citizenry educated on “their rights, interests, and duties” is the only real assurance that freedom will survive.
From the President on down, anyone taking public office should have a working knowledge of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and should be held accountable for upholding their precepts. One way to ensure this would be to require government leaders to take a course on the Constitution and pass a thorough examination thereof before being allowed to take office.
Some critics are advocating that students pass the United States citizenship exam in order to graduate from high school. Others recommend that it must be a prerequisite for attending college. I’d go so far as to argue that students should have to pass the citizenship exam before graduating from grade school.
Here’s an idea to get educated and take a stand for freedom: anyone who signs up to become a member of The Rutherford Institute gets a wallet-sized Bill of Rights card and a Know Your Rights card. Use this card to teach your children the freedoms found in the Bill of Rights.
A healthy, representative government is hard work. It takes a citizenry that is informed about the issues, educated about how the government operates, and willing to do more than grouse and complain.
As I point out in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, “we the people” have the power to make and break the government.
The powers-that-be want us to remain divided over politics, hostile to those with whom we disagree politically, and intolerant of anyone or anything whose solutions to what ails this country differ from our own. They also want us to believe that our job as citizens begins and ends on Election Day.
Yet there are 330 million of us in this country. Imagine what we could accomplish if we actually worked together, presented a united front, and spoke with one voice.
Tyranny wouldn’t stand a chance.

EXCLUSIVE: Is
Ukraine's new long-range missile technology bringing us closer to WW3? Experts
say Putin 'might try something desperate' amid US fears it will convince
Vladimir to use nuclear weapons
Kyiv last
month blew up Russian air defence system with modified cruise missile
The new
missile gives Ukraine the capacity to strike deep into Russian territory
Experts
told MailOnline what the missiles mean for war and potential retaliation
By David Averre and Rachael
Bunyan
Published: 05:06 EDT, 10
September 2023 | Updated: 05:50 EDT, 10 September 2023
Ukraine's
development of a newly modified cruise missile that could strike targets
hundreds of miles across the Russian border has
sparked fears that Vladimir Putin could resort to the nuclear option if he
becomes 'desperate'.
Dr.
Alan Mendoza, executive director at the Henry Jackson Society think tank,
said that although the nuclear threat is
unlikely, it remains on the table should the Kremlin chief feel backed
into a corner amid attacks on Russian cities.
'It
is not likely Russia would strike Ukraine or NATO allies with nuclear weapons
simply in response to Neptune missiles being used
– to do so would mean a response from the West that would surely hasten the
demise of the Putin regime.
'That said,
if Putin felt that his grip on power was loosening beyond his control he might
try something desperate. At that point, it would be hoped that saner
forces within the Russian hierarchy would step in to relieve him of command,' he
said.
Meanwhile, former
US Defense Attaché to Moscow and retired US Army Brigadier General Kevin Ryan
said Washington was alarmed by Ukraine's new strike capability.
'The US
administration is concerned that successful attacks by Ukraine into Russia could
give Putin justification to expand his war to the West or even use
nuclear weapons.
'Deploying
the Neptune in attacks against Russian infrastructure will escalate the war
and force Putin and his military leadership to also escalate their attacks
against Ukrainian cities.'
It comes after Ukraine
last month destroyed a state-of-the-art Russian air defence system nestled in
the occupied Crimean peninsula, scoring a direct hit on the S-400 'Triumf'
and blasting it sky-high in an impressive strike.
Putin's state-media
mouthpieces and war-bloggers railed against the attack, labelling it
the result of a British-supplied Storm Shadow missile and threatening
retaliation against the West for its support of Kyiv.
But it was later
revealed that the weapon behind the destruction of the S-400 was not a British
projectile, but instead a modified version of a Neptune cruise missile -
the kind that sunk the Moskva, pride of Russia's Black Sea Fleet last year.
Ukraine
last month detonated an adapted subsonic Neptune missile in Crimea, destroying
Russian air defence missiles in a giant explosion that also took out Russian
troops By converting the Neptune anti-ship missile to be fired from land
positions on land targets, Ukraine's engineers have provided Zelensky's army
with the capability to strike deep within Russian territory - something they've
shown they can do already with drones - with devastating effect.
Senior Research Leader in
Defence and Security at RAND Europe Bryden Spurling
told MailOnline that the newly modified
missile could enable Ukraine to destroy targets more than 200 miles inside
Russian territory with near pin-point accuracy.
'The
earlier anti-ship version sank the Russian cruiser Moskva, so it is a
precision weapon with a large warhead. The suggested range for this new land
attack version seems to be somewhere between 170 and 190 miles – and could
possibly grow to be as much as 225 miles according to some sources,' Spurling
said.
He added that the modified
Neptune missiles unlock a new capability for Ukraine's armed forces,
whose access to Western weapon systems
like Storm Shadow missiles is contingent on them being used exclusively to
defend Ukrainian territory - not to strike across
the border.
'The modification
to the Neptune system allows Ukraine to complement the Western missiles it has
received with a long-range precision missile it can produce domestically,'
Spurling said.
'It's another source of
supply, and one Ukraine can use without the conditions that come with a lot of
Western gear.
'It
gives Ukraine another tool in the toolkit to strike high-value Russian
targets such as airbases, headquarters, logistics nodes, naval facilities, and
key military capabilities.'
Spurling said it was
unlikely that Kyiv would conduct a direct strike on a heavily populated area
with these missiles, but pointed out that Ukrainian
drones have already slammed into government offices in Moscow's business
district.
'This version of the
Neptune could strike targets in Russian cities... Ukraine
has already shown it can and will strike Russian territory directly, usually
with drones. The only difference
here is that this missile has a heavier warhead than many of the drones
Ukraine has been using against Russian territory to date.
'Despite
Russia's chest-thumping rhetoric, they won't want to risk an escalation that
might involve NATO and the West even more in this conflict.
'But
it is possible that if Ukraine used [a Neptune missile] to destroy a
particularly high-value or sensitive target, Russia might feel it has to
escalate.'
Retired US Army Colonel
Gian Gentile added that the scale of the
damage Ukraine's Neptune missiles could cause would be impossible for the
Kremlin to hide, and could therefore undermine Putin's narrative on how
the war is progressing.
'Striking
targets inside Russia with these Ukrainian R-360 missiles brings the war home to
the Russian people, especially Russians living in Moscow. So at
the strategic level their impact is more psychological in that it breaks
down the myths about the war put forward by Russian state-run media in a way
that no other kind of information campaign by the Ukrainians can.
'At the operational level,
these Ukrainian R-360 missiles can
definitely have a military impact as they can strike Russian airfields,
ammunition depots, and other sustainment facilities inside of Russia,' he
concluded.
The addition of these
adapted Neptune missiles to Ukraine's arsenal may not prove a pivotal moment in
the war.
But the
enhanced threat could certainly help to bolster the Ukrainian Ground Forces'
efforts to break through the entrenched Russian defensive lines in the
Donbas and the southern Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions.
Mendoza said: 'A measure
like this is not going to be a turning point in the war as such. That will only
come if the Ukrainians can breach the Russian front line, or events conspire to
remove Putin and his party from the Kremlin.
'However, attacking
Russian forces at great distance will improve Ukrainian military performance
and may contribute to a weakening of Russian defences and morale that could
itself help assist a front line military breakthrough.
'These
adapted missiles can be easily intercepted by the Kremlin as they do not
reach the speed of sound, so Putin will
have limited concerns over an attack [on Russian cities]. But he will be
concerned for his strategic bases in Crimea.'
RUSI associate fellow
Samuel Cranny-Evans added that although
the Neptune missiles may not be as capable as the likes of Storm Shadow, they
can still deal considerable damage and enhance Ukraine's attacking
capabilities.
'It is unclear
whether [the modified Neptune missiles] can fly a variable cruise profile,
which is what missiles like Storm Shadow do to evade air defences and detection.
'If they do not then it
will be possible for Russian air defences to shoot them down providing, they get
sufficient warning.
'That said, combining
missile types is also an effective way to counter air defences. So,
launching Storm Shadow, Neptune, and drones to arrive on target at the same time
would be difficult to counter.'
Time
will tell if the newly adapted
Neptune missiles prove an effective weapon to help Ukraine's armed forces
drive Russian occupiers out of their territory.
But Ukrainian
defence officials on Monday said troops had regained more territory on the
eastern front and were advancing south in their counteroffensive against Russian
forces while President Volodymyr Zelensky visited two front-line areas.
Deputy Defence Minister
Hanna Maliar said Kyiv's forces were beginning to capture more territory around
the eastern city of Bakhmut, having taken back about 30 miles of land there
since starting their counteroffensive in early June, Maliar wrote on the
Telegram messaging app.
Meanwhile, videos posted on
the Ukrainian presidential website on Monday showed Zelensky visiting troops in
the eastern Donetsk region, where Bakhmut is located, and in Zaporizhzhia
region, where Kyiv's forces are trying to push southward to the Sea of Azov.
Kyiv has retaken a number
of villages and settlements in its three-month-old offensive but its soldiers
have been hampered by vast Russian minefields and trenches.
Maliar said last week that Ukrainian
troops had broken through the first line of Russian defences, and Ukraine's
military expects now to advance more rapidly.
But Moscow
has continued to carry out air strikes on Ukrainian targets including
port infrastructure, and has reported drone attacks on Russian territory.

Welcome To
The Real Estate Industry Apocalypse
September 7, 2023 by
Michael
Higher
interest rates are absolutely strangling the real estate industry, and
there is no relief in sight. The sudden
shift from a very low interest rate environment to a much higher interest rate
environment has paralyzed sales. As I have discussed previously, very
few homeowners that are currently locked into a mortgage at a low interest rate
want to sell, because buying a home to replace the one that they are selling
would mean taking on a mortgage at a much higher rate of interest. And millions
of potential home buyers have been chased out of the market because of the
exceedingly high mortgage payments that they would be facing if they
pulled the trigger on a purchase right now. So sales
of previously-owned homes have dropped by more than 32 percent over the past two
years. In other words, about a third of the entire previously-owned home market
has already been wiped out.
When
home sales crash, everybody that works in the real
estate industry suffers.
I was stunned when I first
saw that, but I also knew that I had to confirm if this was true or not.
And I discovered that it is
true…
45%
That’s
how much investor purchases of homes have fallen since last year, as of
the second quarter, according to data from Redfin, as homebuying looks less
profitable than during the pandemic housing boom.
Investors, just like
private buyers, think it’s a bad time to buy a home.
We
have got a major crisis on our hands, and it is not going to go away any
time soon.
Things are
even worse on the commercial real estate side.
The Wall Street Journal
just published an article entitled “Real-Estate Doom
Loop Threatens America’s Banks”, and
that headline does not exaggerate the current state of affairs at all.
Commercial
real estate prices are plummeting all over the nation, and our
banks have trillions of dollars of exposure…
The WSJ analysis put total bank
exposure to commercial real estate at $3.6 trillion, which it estimates
is 20 percent of their deposits.
Holdings of CMBS and loans to nonbank lenders accounted for $623 billion of that
total at the end of last year.
In the past
decade, regional banks went to
town on commercial loans, never expecting how quickly the tide would turn
against them. Today, losses on loans are leading banks to cut back on lending,
furthering the drop in property prices and more lender losses — in other
words, a doom loop.
Banks
are already pulling back. Debt
origination fell by 52 percent for the second quarter year-over-year,
according to Newmark; lending volume among banks fell by 48 percent. M&T
Bank said it would reduce commercial lending as nearly 1
in 5 of its loans to office landlords was in trouble.
So many
of our financial institutions are going to be in very serious trouble because of
this.
If the Federal Reserve were
to push interest rates all the way to the floor immediately, that would help.
But instead, Fed
officials continue to insist that rates are going to go even higher, and
that is going to escalate this crisis into a full-blown real estate apocalypse.
And higher
rates will also do an incredible amount of damage throughout the rest of the
economy as well. This is a point that the Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary
made very well during a recent interview with Fox Business…
In a recent interview on
Fox Business, Kevin O’Leary, the “Shark Tank”
investor slammed so-called “Bidenomics” for leaving small businesses behind.
He warned that chaos is about to kick
off for the “little guy”, which are the 33.2 million small businesses in
America, due to the Federal Reserve’s aggressive rate hikes.
“They’re struggling
because the Fed has raised rates up to
5.5% in a matter of months,” O’Leary said. “You’re
going to hear a lot of people crying about this in the next few months because
they can’t borrow anything anymore and they can’t run their
businesses.”
He is right.
Small and mid-size
businesses all over America are really struggling right now.
Economic
activity is slowing down all around us, and they are starting to lay off
workers.
In fact, in
just the past two months the U.S. has lost a whopping 670,000 full-time jobs…
Well, one look at this
month’s adjustment and it’s literally a shocker: you will not hear anyone
from the Biden admin or associated economist cheerleaders mention this, but the BLS
reported that in August the number of full-time jobs dropped again,
sliding by 85K to 134.2 million, and followed the whopping 585K plunge in July
which brings the two-month total drop in full-time jobs to a whopping 670K, the biggest
2-month plunge since the covid lockdowns in early 2020 when 12.5 million
full-time jobs were lost in one month!
When
the official numbers that the government gives us start looking this bad, you
know that the hour is late.
And
the job cuts just keep on coming. On Wednesday, we learned that Roku
will be conducting a third round of layoffs…
Video streaming company
Roku shares spiked Wednesday after it announced plans
to lay off more than 300 people, or about 10% of its workforce, and pull
certain content from its streaming platform to ease operating expenses.
This is the third
round of layoffs from Roku in recent months after the company let go of
about 400 employees total between November and March. The company had roughly
3,600 full-time employees across 14 countries at the end of last year, according
to its annual report.
I actually really like Roku,
and so I hope they can turn things around.
But the reality
of the matter is that everyone is going to have to deal with the very hard times
that are now upon us.
Hordes of middle class
Americans are being pushed into poverty, and hordes of impoverished Americans
are being forced into the streets.
So far this
year, we have actually seen “the biggest ever spike in homeless people living
on the streets”
The United States has seen
the biggest ever spike in homeless people living on the streets – as
preliminary figures showed a record 11 percent increase in one year.
There are nearly 600,000
rough sleepers across cities and towns in America, and the jump from 2022
to 2023 so far is the highest since the government started tracking the data in
2007, according to the WSJ.
Places like Oakland
and San Francisco in California have become
hotbeds for homelessness, as people living on the streets are like
‘drug tourists’ who arrive to have easy access to narcotics.
But this isn’t supposed
to be happening.
The Biden administration
told us over and over again that “Bidenomics” was working.
Of course the truth
is that we have now entered the very early chapters of a full-blown economic
nightmare.
Things
are going to get a whole lot worse for the real
estate industry.
And things are going to get
a whole lot worse for the economy as a whole.
So I hope that you have
been getting prepared for what is ahead, because most
Americans are going to get completely blind-sided by what is coming.
Michael’s new book
entitled “End Times” is now available in paperback and for the Kindle on
Amazon.com, and you can check out his new Substack newsletter right here.

NWO
Cyber-Terrorists Launch Major Attack on SQUARE & CASH APP Right After CEO
Jack Dorsey Started Retweeting Content by VIP Truth-Tellers
SQUARE
& CASH APP Payment Platforms Taken Down Nationwide Via Massive Cyber-Attack
Editor’s Note: The Tyrannical
Technocracy just leapt to a new
plateau of brazenness and recklessness in
the their perpetration of cyber-attacks on any major platform that does not
conform with their woke New World Order agenda.
Truth-telling Alt Media
websites such as ZeroHedge, Natural News, Infowars, Steve Quayle, Gateway
Pundit, Rense, Mercola, Citizen Free Press, Whatfinger, The Liberty Daily, Rumor
Mill News, The Burning Platform, All News Pipeline, State of the Nation, etc. have
all undergone massive censorship campaigns and periodic takedowns over the years.
But now the Deep State cyber-terrrorist
are targeting HUGE payment platforms like Jack Dorsey’s Square payment
platform and Cash App mobile payment service.
As seen in the screenshot
above, both Square and Cash App services
were totally disrupted on Thursday, September 7th. For
many of us Alt Media users, we were not able to access any service or product on
those two websites. This
deliberate cyber-attack caused major disruptions and inconveniences across the
country which users are still very affected by.
The following MSM
article regarding that brutal takedown of SQUAREUP.com makes it quite clear this
was a revenge attack against CEO Jack Dorsey. There is no question that Dorsey
has been leaving the NWO reservation ever since he resigned as Twitter CEO.
With his recent embrace of RFK Jr and
retweeting of Glenn Greenwald, it appears he has left the Woke reservation
for good … but not without great
consequence to his primary business enterprise—SQUARE & CASH APP.
It’s important to note
that Squareup.com had been down all day
Thursday with disruptions to all services in a way never seen or experienced
with any major payment platform. Therefore, it’s
quite likely that highly trained cyber-terrorists, operating under the direction
of the U.S. Intel Community, perpetrated this bold cyber-crime.
What follows is an MSM
report on this event, which was actually a naked assault on Freedom of Speech,
that also gives the clues to who the real perps were.
SF-Based Square and Cash
App Experience Widespread Outages, Leading to Widespread Headaches
SFIST
If you were trying to pay
for something with Square or Cash App today and had a problem, you’re not
alone.
Square, and its Cash App,
both apps were experiencing major issues Thursday.
The website Downdetector
was showing over 18,000 reports of
Square being down on Thursday just after noon.
Similarly,
Cash App was being reported down by more than 8,000 users and counting.
“Our engineers are all
actively working on a fix to address this disruptions [sic] and have now received
confirmation that Balance and Transfers are currently affected by this
disruption,” Square said in a statement.
CashApp tweeted, “We’re
aware of an issue that’s affecting multiple features of the app and are
actively investigating. Please visit https://status.cash.app
for the most recent updates.”
An update
at that link as of 2:51 p.m. PT says, “Your patience is greatly appreciated
while we work to investigate this issue. As a reminder, please do not attempt to
log out of your Cash App account in the meantime.”
Bet that message really
made it to many users!!
It’s unclear whether this
rolling into a full-blown crisis, and the tech pubs haven’t even reported on
it yet.
KRON4 was the first outlet
to report on the outages locally.
It is clear these outages
are having real-world consequences in the age of widespread digital payments for
everything.
Square
changed its name to Block back in late 2021, signaling co-founder Jack
Dorsey’s increasing focus on crypto and blockchain technology.
Cash App, originally called
Square Cash, first launched in 2013.
Meanwhile today, Dorsey has
been retweeting shit from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and increasingly right-wing (or
anti-left-wing) culture warrior Glenn Greenwald.

trying to make us want “smart cities” by turning all the great old cities

A video, a meme and a great
article point up the awful truth:
This Is
Where We Are!
What we
have in the making is a planned takedown of all society to make room for their
New World Order or the Great Reset they are so anxious to launch
by Ray DiLorenzo September
9, 2023
If you take
stock of where we have traveled as a nation these last two and a half years,
one can only marvel in disgust at the
divergence in our morality, standard of living, personal safety, national and
economic security, and sense of well-being.
Pride in our nation is all
but gone
Pride in our nation is all
but gone, especially in the Blue states. We are
no longer governed but ruled. Senators
threaten Supreme Court Justices, and federal
law enforcement agencies are rife with corruption. Democrats
no longer want to compete with their opponents only destroy them. States
like California are in freefall while their state
assembly declares August ‘Transgender History
Month’.
People, for
no apparent reason, are beaten senseless in the streets, and the thug is
released within hours to do it again. Mobs of thieves invade
stores, stealing everything not nailed down. Homes are broken into not just once, but regularly. People
block windows in their homes with 2x4s. Apart from all this, we
see massive inflation—not the Janet
Yellen ‘transitory’ inflation she lied about, but
serious embedded inflation that shows no sign of letup. It’s already showing
itself in rising gas prices and car insurance premiums.
The
Left’s rioting in 2020 numbers at least 25 dead, destroyed billions in private
property, and the rioters were either let go or the Democrat Party paid their
bail. It’s a feeling
that law and order have been canceled for all except the Dems political
opposition.
No place in the New World
Order
The Right
makes legitimate claims of voter fraud in a peaceful demonstration, and
the Left responds by creating a giant fly trap in
Washington to capture mere protesters, calling them insurrectionists, and making
examples of them for all to see. For
Trump supporters, the hammer comes down hard. Anyone familiar with Germany in
the 1930s should be alarmed.
Once-grand
hotels are filled with migrants and, in many cases, trashed. The
Democrat Party decided we needed millions and
millions of migrants (6-8 million to date) to pick the crops in New York
City and Chicago. Millions of foreign faces have
entered our country that we cannot communicate with. The government
doesn’t know who they are. We certainly don’t. The millions
of illegals are now competing with the poor and homeless for jobs, food,
healthcare, and very soon shelter.
What is
happening in San Francisco and the rest of California?
San
Francisco is a small fraction of what it once was. I know San Francisco. I used to live there after leaving the decrepit New York City of the
1970s. Stores are going out of business or
moving to friendlier pastures. Concerns like Nordstrom, Old Navy, Amazon,
T-Mobile, Walgreens, and Whole Foods have left. Two
of the largest hotels have given up: the Hilton San Francisco Union Square and
Parc 55, citing street conditions. One Old
Navy manager said his store was being hit 12–14 times a day.
California
state legislators passed laws making it illegal to interrupt their thieving.
State Farm is leaving California for property and business insurance and joining
Allstate. If
you’re trying to buy a house or business in San Francisco or anywhere in
California and can’t get insurance or it is not affordable, you will not get a
mortgage. Stores in downtown San Francisco are
just waiting for their leases to expire. The vacancy
rate in San Francisco is at a record 31% and climbing. If
you’re a mom or pop concern, you’re going to lose everything. And that is
the plan. Crime is being used to cull small
businesses. Most larger companies will survive. It’s
the small business community that liberals want gone. They have no place in the
New World Order.

Category 5 storms have formed in
every ocean basin this year
Human-caused
climate change and El Niño have heated ocean waters to record levels, giving
tropical storms a boost, scientists say
By Ian Livingston and Jason
Samenow September
8, 2023 at 2:15 p.m. EDT
For the
first time on record, storms
have reached top-tier Category 5 strength in every tropical ocean basin in the
same year.
A combination of human-caused climate change and El Niño have heated ocean
waters to record levels in 2023, setting the stage for this meteorological feat.
The Copernicus Climate Service of the European Union confirmed that the
global ocean reached its warmest level on record in August.
This
week alone, two tropical cyclones leaped to Category 5 intensity in two days
— Hurricane Jova in the northeastern Pacific on
Wednesday, closely followed by Hurricane Lee in the Atlantic on Thursday.
The pair of storms intensified with astonishing
haste, their peak winds increasing 90 mph and 85 mph, respectively, in 24 hours.
Meteorologists
monitor seven tropical oceans basins around the world for storm development. In
addition to the Atlantic and eastern Pacific, Category 5 storms formed in the
other five basins earlier this year.
Brian McNoldy, a tropical
weather expert at the University of Miami, confirmed that 2023
marked the first instance of Category 5 storms in all seven and linked it to the
warm waters.
“I think
it’s reasonable to hypothesize that the abnormally warm ocean temperatures
around the world made this more likely to happen,” McNoldy said in an email. “Gives
everything a boost.”
Waters are
warmer-than-normal almost everywhere, helping storms intensify
quickly even in areas in which storm activity is often reduced during El
Niño because of hostile high-altitude winds.
“In an El Niño year, the
strong storms in the Pacific are not surprising, but the Atlantic would be the basin that’s highly unlikely to pull its
weight and produce a 5,” said Alex DesRosiers, a tropical weather
researcher at Colorado State University. “The
record warm [sea surface temperatures] we are seeing in regions of the tropical
and subtropical Atlantic are key in allowing for the active hurricane season
we’ve had so far despite the usually prohibitive El Niño.”
Category 5 storms
have maximum sustained winds of at least 157 mph
and are considered the most dangerous on Earth. When they strike land,
“catastrophic damage will occur,” the
National Hurricane Center writes. Homes are
severely damaged, trees are uprooted, and areas can be left inhabitable for
“weeks or months.”
Depending on the part of
the world in which they form, these
hurricane-strength storms have different names but produce the same effects.
In the Southern Hemisphere, they
are mostly called cyclones, while they are referred
to as typhoons in the western Pacific Ocean.
The first of 2023’s
Category 5 storms came in February. Here’s a
snapshot of the seven Category 5 storms so far this year.
February:
Tropical Cyclone Freddy, 165 mph winds in the southwest Indian Ocean
Freddy was an extremely
long-duration storm, with a total life cycle of about five weeks, which made it
the longest-lived tropical cyclone on record. Freddy rapidly intensified —
gaining at least 35 mph in wind speed over the course of a day — multiple
times, including to a peak of 165 mph on Feb. 19.
March:
Tropical Cyclone Kevin, 160 mph winds in the southwest Pacific Ocean
Kevin also underwent rapid
intensification between March 1 and 3, climbing from a Category 1 to a Category
4. It reached Category 5 status largely over open water, but Vanuatu northeast
of Australia suffered damaging winds and flooding.
April:
Tropical Cyclone Ilsa, 160 mph winds in the Australian basin (or southeast
Indian Ocean)
Passing over waters in the
mid- and upper 80s, Ilsa rapidly intensified as it closed in on the northwestern
coast of Australia in mid-April. Record-breaking wind speeds for the region were
recorded at Bedout Island off the Australian mainland, and settlements near
landfall sustained major damage.
May —
Tropical Cyclone Mocha, 175 mph winds in the North Indian Ocean
Yet another storm took
advantage of unusually warm waters and rapidly intensified near shore. Mocha
ended up as one of the worst North Indian Ocean tropical cyclones on record
after it crashed into Myanmar and Bangladesh, killing hundreds.
May:
Super Typhoon Mawar, 185 mph winds in the northwest Pacific Ocean
Mawar became the strongest
storm of the year, the strongest on record in May and one of the strongest
observed at any time as its pressure bottomed out below 900 millibars. The lower
the pressure, the stronger the storm. The storm underwent two episodes of rapid
intensification.
September:
Hurricane Jova, 160 mph winds in the northeast Pacific Ocean
Between Tuesday and
Wednesday this week, Jova catapulted from a strong tropical storm to a 160 mph
Category 5. Fortunately, it has remained over water and is weakening.
September:
Hurricane Lee, 165 mph winds in the Atlantic
Lee also exploded from a
forgettable looking storm to a beastly Category 5 in about a day. Hurricane
Hunter aircraft observed the storm near its peak Thursday night, capturing
frequent lightning in its core. The powerful storm is forecast to plow across
the western Atlantic and could affect eastern New England and the Canadian
Maritimes in about eight to 10 days.
Lee became
the eighth Category 5 hurricane to form in the Atlantic in the last eight years.
Between 1970 and 2000, only six Atlantic storms reached
Category 5, according to John Morales, a broadcast meteorologist in
Miami. “Category 5 hurricanes used to be rare,”
he tweeted. “Used to be.”

China Bans Its Government Employees from Using iPhone- APPLE Loses $200 Billion in two days
World Hal Turner 08 September 2023 Hits: 10232
China has banned the use of iPhones by its government employees due to concerns about western spying through iPhone "always-on" microphones. Within 24 hours of that ban, APPLE lost $200 Billion in stock valuation.
Imagine if the US starts a war in the Taiwan Straits. Not only APPLE's $3 Trillion market value will evaporate, but much of the US Stock Market that's worth $45 Trillion.
Taiwanese based chipmaker TSMC is the crown jewel of chip-making. The US may go to war to stop China from getting it.
In one simple move, China basically proved that the enormous years-long efforts the US put to destroy both Huawei and the Chinese semiconductor industry have been defeated.
Chinese phone maker Huawei this week revealed an advanced chip, the Kirin 9000s, made by China's Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC). Huawei's "Mate60-Pro" phone runs on this chip.
According to research firm TechInsights, the processor is the first to utilize the latest 7nanometer(nm) SMIC technology, and proves the Chinese government is making some headway in trying to create a domestic chip ecosystem.
APPLE's current iPhones are built on 4nm chips and next week, it will introduce a new iPhone powered by a 3nm chip.
Last year, the Biden Administration, by imposing export controls, attempted to curb China's effort to gain access to 14nm chips, which is about eight years behind the most advanced technology. The US also blacklisted (i.e. "Sanctioned" Huawei and SMIC.
But now China has demonstrated that it can produce at least a limited number of chips that are only 5 years behind state-of-the-art, and thus moved closer to its goal of self-sufficiency in the critical area of semi-conductors.
ANALYSIS
In typical Chinese fashion - words are cheap in China, you prove yourself with deeds - they didn't make any announcements about it. Huawei didn't even communicate on the product launch, the phone just showed up in their store. And that was coincidentally on exactly the same day as the visit of US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, who had vowed to "slow China's innovation rate". Talk about symbolism!
People had to look inside the phone to find out it is equipped with Huawei’s in-house Kirin 9000s processor, which is made by Chinese semiconductor firm SMIC using a 2nd generation 7nm-class fabrication process. Less than one year ago, when the US introduced its sweeping set of sanctions against the Chinese semiconductors industry, "experts" vowed it would kill the industry or at least freeze its technological progress at the 28 nm chips China were at back then. Fast forward to now: China can evidently mass-produce 2nd generation 7nm chips entirely indigenously. The iPhone 14 Pro has 4nm chips so China is now almost on par, maybe just 1 or 2 years behind but catching up at an insane speed.
So what has the US managed to do? They've transformed Huawei into an incredibly more resilient company and have made China build an entirely indigenous semiconductors ecosystem, which wasn't the case at all before the sanctions, and which I am sure will prove to be a formidable competitor to other semiconductor companies out there.
Because other countries have been paying attention here. They now know that it's super dangerous to source semiconductors with Western firms as the US won't hesitate to weaponize the industry for geopolitical ends. So they'll turn to Chinese firms...
What about Huawei's new phone? You can absolutely bet Huawei will end up eating a significant market share from Apple - as was the case before the sanctions. Especially in China where patriotic Chinese will undoubtedly rush to buy the phone, now a symbol of China's technological might.
So it's lose, lose, lose for the US. Much more loss than if they hadn't done any of their aggressive actions against Huawei or China's chip sector.
Which again goes to show just how utterly pointless this new "cold war" is. Had the US decided to remain in engagement mode instead of "extreme competition" mode (as they call it), they'd have been much better off.

Deadly storms and floods rage in Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria
09/06/2023 September 6, 2023
More than a dozen people died in Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria as heavy rains hit parts of those countries. Record rainfall hit the central region of Magnesia in Greece.
Storms have killed more than a dozen people in Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria, as a period of extreme heat has given way to heavy rainstorms in the region.
At least seven people were killed as heavy rains triggered flash floods in northwest Turkey, state news agency Anadolu said on Wednesday.
Five people died and one person was missing in Kirklareli province near the border with Bulgaria and Greece, after houses were flooded late on Tuesday, local media reported.
Authorities said a further two people were killed and 31 injured in Istanbul's northern Basaksehir and Kucukcekmece districts, where images showed cars floating in floodwaters.
Turkey's largest city received rainfall roughly equivalent to what it would expect in the entirety of September in the space of six hours, the governor's office said in a statement.
Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said search and rescue operations were continuing and pledged financial support to families in flood-affected areas.
Bulgaria's tourist area affected
Meanwhile, the toll from torrential rains and flooding on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast climbed to four, while several thousand tourists were left stranded, officials said.
Rescuers found the bodies of two women — a 54-year-old regional court chairwoman and her 30-year-old daughter — on Wednesday, the interior ministry said. The two women were missing after the car they were travelling in was swept away while crossing a flooded bridge.
Earlier in the day, the body of a man was recovered from the sea, while another man, a 61-year-old construction worker, was found dead on Tuesday.
Heavy rain and thunderstorms since late Monday caused rivers to overflow, damaging bridges and cutting off access in the region south of the coastal city of Burgas.
"Around 4,000 people are affected by the disaster along the entire southern part of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast," said Tourism Minister Zaritsa Dinkova after meeting hoteliers near the flood-hit coastal town of Tsarevo.

Record rainfall in Greece
Greece's central Magnesia region got rainfall of 600-800 millimeters (24-31 inches) over a 24-hour period including Tuesday, a government meteorologist told reporters in Athens. Dimitris Ziakopoulos called it an "unprecedented phenomenon" for the country's meteorological data, which dates back to 1955.
The record rainfall caused at least three deaths near the central city of Volos and in Karditsa, further to the west, according to the fire service. Three people were reported missing.
An 87-year-old woman missing since Tuesday was found dead on Wednesday in the village of Paltsi in Magnesia, fire department spokesman Yannis Artopios told public broadcaster ERT. Another person was found dead in the city of Karditsa in central Greece. On Tuesday, a 51-year-old man was found dead near Volos after being swept away by a rising torrent.
Authorities banned traffic in Volos, the nearby mountain region of Pelion and the resort island of Skiathos, where many households remained without electricity and running water on Wednesday. Traffic was also banned in another two regions of central Greece near Volos, while the storms were forecast to continue until at least Thursday afternoon.

The greenback is 'losing some influence' in the oil markets — and it means a partial de-dollarization is likely, says JPMorgan
Huileng Tan
Tue, September 5, 2023, 9:12 AM EDT·4 min read
The US dollar is losing some influence in the oil markets, according to JPMorgan.
The correlation between the USD's strength and oil prices has weakened, per the bank's research.
This is because more oil is now being transacted in non-dollar currencies.
Amid a broad discourse about the waning influence of the US dollar, analysts at one bank see one commodity market starting to shy away from the currency.
While analyzing the dollar's correlation to international crude prices, analysts at JPMorgan warned in a Thursday report that the greenback's importance could soon diminish.
"The US dollar, one of the key drivers of global oil prices, appears to be losing its once powerful influence," Natasha Kaneva, the head of global commodities strategy at JPMorgan, wrote in the report.
The analyst drew the conclusion by looking at the impact of a strengthening dollar on oil prices.
The relationship exists because the dollar is traditionally inversely correlated to oil prices — meaning that when the greenback's value rises, oil prices fall, and vice versa. The correlation exists because the international oil trade is typically denominated in the greenback, so demand for the commodity falls when the value of the dollar gains.
Between 2005 and 2013, a 1% rise in the US trade-weighted dollar — which measures the value of the greenback relative to a basket of other foreign currencies — would cut the price of international benchmark Brent crude oil by about 3%, according to data from JPMorgan.
However, Brent crude oil prices fell just 0.2%, with a 1% rise in the US trade-weighted dollar between 2014 and 2022 — pointing to the greenback's waning influence in the commodity's trade.
This trend is because more oil is now being transacted in non-dollar currencies, JPMorgan said in its report, such as the Chinese yuan.
Indeed, major energy buyer China has been using the yuan for almost all the Russian oil it bought over the past year, Reuters reported in May, citing multiple trading executives with direct knowledge of the matter.

Powerful quake in Morocco kills more than 1,000 people and damages historic buildings in Marrakech
By SAM METZ and MOSA’AB ELSHAMY
MARRAKECH, Morocco (AP) —
A rare, powerful earthquake struck Morocco, sending people racing from their beds into the darkened streets and toppling buildings in mountainous villages and ancient cities not built to withstand such force. More than 1,000 people were killed, and the toll was expected to rise as rescuers struggled Saturday to get through boulder-strewn roads to the remote areas hit hardest.
The magnitude-6.8 quake, the biggest to hit the North African country in 120 years, sent people fleeing their homes in terror and disbelief late Friday. One man said dishes and wall hangings began raining down, and people were knocked off their feet. The enormity of the destruction came into view in the daylight.
The quake brought down walls made from stone and masonry not designed to withstand quakes, covering whole communities with rubble and leaving residents picking their way precariously through remains. Rescuers worked through the night to find survivors buried in the dusty ruins.
A tent typically used for celebrations was being erected for shelter in the square of the impoverished mountain community of Moulay Brahim, where homes made of clay and brick were largely left uninhabitable. Fathers sobbed into phones telling loved ones about losing their children. Bodies covered with blankets lay in the health center next to a mosque as doctors pulled shards from people’s feet and treated surface wounds.
“There’s nothing to do but pray,” said Hamza Lamghani, who lost five of his closest friends.
People could be seen on state TV clustering in the streets of historic Marrakech, afraid to go back inside buildings that might still be unstable. Many wrapped themselves in blankets as they tried to sleep outside.
Marrakech’s famous Koutoubia Mosque, built in the 12th century, was damaged, but the extent was not immediately clear. Its 69-meter (226-foot) minaret is known as the “roof of Marrakech.” Moroccans also posted videos showing damage to parts of the famous red walls that surround the old city, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
At least 1,037 people died, mostly in Marrakech and five provinces near the quake’s epicenter, and another 1,204 people were injured, Morocco’s Interior Ministry reported Saturday morning. Of the injured, the ministry wrote, 721 were in critical condition.
“The problem is that where destructive earthquakes are rare, buildings are simply not constructed robustly enough to cope with strong ground shaking, so many collapse, resulting in high casualties,” said Bill McGuire, professor emeritus of geophysical and climate hazards at University College London. “I would expect the final death toll to climb into the thousands once more is known. As with any big quake, aftershocks are likely, which will lead to further casualties and hinder search and rescue.”
In a sign of the huge scale of the disaster, Morocco’s King Mohammed VI ordered the armed forces to mobilize air and land assets, specialized search and rescue teams and a surgical field hospital, according to a statement from the military. But despite an outpouring of offers of help from around the world, the Moroccan government had not formally asked for assistance, a step required before outside rescue crews could deploy.
Ayoub Toudite said he had been working out with friends at a gym in Moulay Brahim, which is carved into a mountainside south of Marrakech, when “we felt a huge shake like it was doomsday.” In 10 seconds, he said, everything was gone.
Rescuers were using hammers and axes to free a man trapped under a two-story building. People capable of squeezing into the tiny space were giving him water.
“We are all terrified that this happens again,” Toudite said.
The epicenter of Friday’s tremor was near the town of Ighil in Al Haouz Province, roughly 70 kilometers (43.5 miles) south of Marrakech. Al Haouz is known for scenic villages and valleys tucked in the High Atlas, and villages built into mountainsides.
Abderrahim Ait Daoud, head of the town of Talat N’Yaaqoub, told Moroccan news site 2M that authorities were working to clear roads in Al Haouz Province to allow passage for ambulances and aid to populations affected, but said large distances between mountain villages meant it would take time to learn the extent of the damage.
The Moroccan military deployed aircraft, helicopters and drones and emergency services mobilized aid efforts to the hardest areas, but roads leading to the mountain region around the epicenter were jammed with vehicles and blocked with fallen rocks, slowing rescue efforts. Trucks loaded with blankets, camp cots and lighting equipment were trying to region that hard-hit area, the official news agency MAP reported.
On the steep, winding switchbacks from Marrakech to Al Haouz, ambulances with sirens blaring and honking cars veered around piles of Mars-like red rock that had tumbled from the mountainside and blocked the road. Red Cross workers tried to clear a boulder blocking the two-lane highway.
World leaders offered to send in aid or rescue crews as condolences poured in from countries around Europe, the Middle East and a Group of 20 summit in India. The president of Turkey, which lost tens of thousands of people in a massive earthquake earlier this year, was among those proposing assistance. France and Germany, with large populations of people of Moroccan origin, also offered to help, and the leaders of both Ukraine and Russia expressed support for Moroccans.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake had a preliminary magnitude of 6.8 when it hit at 11:11 p.m. (2211 GMT), with shaking that lasted several seconds. The U.S. agency reported a magnitude 4.9 aftershock hit 19 minutes later. The collision of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates occurred at a relatively shallow depth, which makes a quake more dangerous.
Earthquakes are relatively rare in North Africa. Lahcen Mhanni, Head of the Seismic Monitoring and Warning Department at the National Institute of Geophysics, told 2M TV that the earthquake was the strongest ever recorded in the region.
In 1960, a magnitude 5.8 tremor struck near the Moroccan city of Agadir and caused thousands of deaths. That quake prompted changes in construction rules in Morocco, but many buildings, especially rural homes, are not built to withstand such tremors.
In 2004, a 6.4 magnitude earthquake near the Mediterranean coastal city of Al Hoceima left more than 600 dead.
Friday’s quake was felt as far away as Portugal and Algeria, according to the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere and Algeria’s Civil Defense agency, which oversees emergency response.

after SVB collapse
Reuters
Published 2:25 PM EDT, Sat March 25, 2023
Deposits at small US banks dropped by a record amount following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank on March 10, data released on Friday by the Federal Reserve showed.
Deposits at small banks fell $119 billion to $5.46 trillion in the week ended March 15, which was more than twice the previous record drop and the biggest decline as a percent of overall deposits since the week ended March 16, 2007.
Borrowings at small banks, defined as all but the biggest 25 commercial US banks, increased by $253 billion to a record $669.6 billion, the Fed’s weekly data showed.
“As a result, small banks had $97 billion more in cash on hand at the end of the week, suggesting that some of the borrowing was to build war chests as a precautionary measure in case depositors asked to redeem their money,” Capital Economics’ analyst Paul Ashworth wrote.
SVB collapsed after it was unable to meet a swift and massive run by depositors who took out tens of billions of dollars in a matter of hours.
Deposits at large US banks rose $67 billion in the week to $10.74 trillion, the Fed data showed.
Overall US bank deposits have been in decline after sharply rising in the wake of pandemic aid in 2020 and early 2021.
The reversal in the trend for large banks was notable. The rise equates to about half as much as the deposit decline at small banks, suggesting some of the cash may have gone into money market funds or other instruments.
Large banks also increased borrowings in the week, by $251 billion.
It was unclear if the shift in deposits out of small banks will persist.
“Deposit flows in the banking system have stabilized over the last week,” Fed Chair Jerome Powell said on Wednesday.

Medvedev points to risk of emergence of new artificial viruses
The politician stressed that the Pentagon had set up dozens of specialized biolabs and centers around Russia
MOSCOW, August 31. /TASS/. The deputy head of Russia’s Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, believes that the world may see the emergence of new viruses "of not only natural but also of artificial origin." He was speaking at the opening of a meeting of the presidium of the Presidential Council on Science and Education.
"New viruses can be not only of natural, but also of artificial origin," Medvedev said. He emphasized that Russia, like many other countries, was closely monitoring what was going on in this field. He also recalled Russia’s concerns about the US biomilitary activity in the post-Soviet space.
Medvedev stressed that the Pentagon had set up dozens of specialized biolabs and centers around Russia.
"Despite the rhetoric and assurances to the effect that all this activity is purely scientific or aimed at maintaining the epidemiological well-being of the population, we know that this is not quite true, to put it mildly. It is obvious that during the special military operation evidence of this hostile activity was obtained," Medvedev said.
He called for paying the closest attention possible to this kind of external threats and to ensure Russia's technological readiness for the emergence and spread of any new infections.
"The government has prepared its version of the most important innovation project of national importance. It should be linked as much as possible to the list of presidential instructions, as well as to the concept that was proposed by the advisory group on scientific and technological development. The document should be as relevant as possible and take into account all possible risks and threats," Medvedev said.
He recalled that the president issued instructions to develop this project back in 2021. Medvedev said the project envisaged the creation of a Russian research and technological platform, "which should allow for a prompt response to the emergence and spread of new infections."
"A great deal is being said about this. It looks like the Covid situation is clear, but it remains to be seen what will happen next. We need to be ready. Therefore, this work and its continuation are extremely important for the state," he said.

Scientists Have Created A Human “Entity” That Has No Mother Or Father
September 6, 2023 by Michael
Scientists all over the world continue to “play God”, and we are all going to have to live with the consequences. Every single day, incredibly bizarre experiments are being conducted in secret laboratories all over the planet. I have frequently warned my readers about the very deadly diseases that are being developed in such laboratories, but other types of extremely sick experiments are happening as well. For example, it is being reported that one team of researchers has now been able to create a human “entity” that does not have a mother or a father. In fact, it was created “without using sperm, an egg or a womb”…
Scientists report they have grown the early stages of a human embryo-like entity without using sperm, an egg or a womb.
The ’embryo model’ even releases hormones that triggered a positive pregnancy test.
This is like something out of a science fiction novel.
Why in the world would they even consider doing something like this?
They are telling us that using such “entities” will make medical research easier, and frankly that makes me want to vomit.
There is no way that doing this sort of thing should be legal.
But it is.
This team of researchers was able to create a human “entity” without a mother or a father by starting with naive stem cells…
Instead of a sperm and egg, the starting material was naive stem cells which were reprogrammed to gain the potential to become any type of tissue in the body.
According to the BBC, chemicals were used to encourage these stem cells to develop into four unique cell types that are involved in the earliest stages of human embryo development…
epiblast cells, which become the embryo proper (or foetus)
trophoblast cells, which become the placenta
hypoblast cells, which become the supportive yolk sac
extraembryonic mesoderm cells
Those cell types were then “mixed in a precise ratio”, and what happened next is extremely alarming…
A total of 120 of these cells were mixed in a precise ratio – and then, the scientists step back and watch.
About 1% of the mixture began the journey of spontaneously assembling themselves into a structure that resembles, but is not identical to, a human embryo.
Professor Jacob Hanna of the Weizmann Institute is the leader of the team that conducted this research, and he claims that the “entity” which was produced “is really a textbook image of a human day-14 embryo”…
‘This is really a textbook image of a human day-14 embryo, [which] hasn’t been done before,’ said Professor Hanna.
If such an entity can survive to that stage, could it go all the way and actually become a full-blown baby?
Now that this breakthrough has been achieved, it is just a matter of time before someone tries to do that.
And just imagine the implications if this eventually starts happening on a widespread basis.
Babies could literally be grown on a massive scale all over the globe.
Instead of having children the natural way, parents could just order a baby that meets certain specifications.
And any babies that came out with “defects” would inevitably be discarded.
Alternatively, it is easy to imagine entire armies being “grown” by tyrannical rulers just like we have seen in certain science fiction movies.
Would such “entities” be truly human?
Would they even have souls?
There is so much that we don’t know, and hopefully this sort of work will be banned so that we will never find out.
Unfortunately, there is very little holding the scientific community back at this point.
Most of the general population has no idea what is going on in these secret labs, and most of our politicians don’t seem to care.
And so “science” will continue to advance all over the globe with very little resistance at all.
In addition to experiments that are creating new life, researchers are also searching for ways to cheat death.
In recent years, swapping blood with the young has become a very hot trend among America’s billionaires. Here is just one example…
Until recently, Bryan Johnson was paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to infuse one litre of his teenage son’s youthful plasma into his own ageing blood stream every month. “I’ve never paid more attention to what he’s eating … because that was going into my body,” the 46-year-old American tech entrepreneur says on new podcast The Immortals. He also pumped his own plasma into his 70-year-old father’s body to help improve his declining physical and cognitive health: “It was one of the most meaningful moments in his entire life. And it was the same for me.” Johnson continues to pay $2m a year for a research team to investigate how we can live longer – and he is certainly not the only rich guy in Silicon Valley dedicated to the search for eternal life.
Guys like Johnson have more money than they will ever need.
But they know that their days are limited.
So in a desperate attempt to “buy more time”, they are literally injecting the blood of young people into their own veins.
This is another thing that shouldn’t be done.
And it is probably dangerous.
But nobody is going to stop them.
In fact, the pace of scientific change will continue to march forward at an exponential rate.
Given enough time, our world would be transformed into something stranger than anything that Hollywood has ever dreamed up.
But our scientists won’t have enough time to do that, because the truth is that time is running out for our society.
Our self-destructive tendencies will soon absolutely overwhelm us, and no amount of “research” will be able to turn things around at that point.

There Is Talk In Russia About Hitting Targets In The U.S. Because Nuclear War Has Become “Inevitable”
September 5, 2023 by Michael
Most Americans have absolutely no idea how close we are to nuclear war. Our politicians confidently assure us that the war in Ukraine will never spark a nuclear conflict, and the mainstream media in the western world rarely talks about such a scenario. But over in Russia, things are completely different. They regard the war in Ukraine as an existential conflict between Russia and NATO, and there is constant talk on Russian television about the possibility of nuclear war. Here is the latest example that I have come across…
A Kremlin propagandist has issued the latest nuclear threat against the West regarding the war in Ukraine, warning that the U.S. could be in danger of a Russian missile attack.
Igor Korotchenko, editor of the newspaper National Defense and a regular guest on the Russia 1 channel where guests have repeatedly called for strikes against Ukraine’s allies, took exception to criticism of Russian conduct in the war.
During his recent appearance on the Russia 1 channel, Korotchenko openly talked about a “first strike” which would involve hitting “targets on the territory of the United States of America”…
“The most important message we should send to the Americans is that we will not wage war with you in Europe,” he said in a clip subsequently posted on X (formerly Twitter) by Ukrainian internal affairs adviser Anton Gerashchenko.
“In response to your attacks on Russian military or civilian facilities, the first strike will be a preventative limited strike against targets on the territory of the United States of America,” he told the anchor of 60 Minutes, Yevgeny Popov. Last week, Russia announced that its Sarmat strategic missile system, which can reach the U.S., had been put on combat duty.
That is pretty stunning.
But Korotchenko’s remarks are tame compared to what retired Major General Alexander Vladimirov is saying.
Vladimirov is the author of Russia’s “war bible”, and he is entirely convinced that a nuclear war involving the United States and Russia has become “inevitable”…
Nuclear war is the ‘inevitable’ conclusion of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a Russian general who wrote the nation’s ‘war bible’ has warned.
The chilling forecast came from retired Major General Alexander Vladimirov, who penned Russia’s three volume book called the ‘General Theory of War’.
Why didn’t this make headline news all over the United States?
According to Vladimirov, “nuclear weapons will be used in this war”, and he wants his country to actively prepare for such an outcome so that they will have the best chance to survive…
He warned: ‘I am sure that nuclear weapons will be used in this war – inevitably, and from this neither we nor the enemy have anywhere to go.
‘The sooner our politicians and leadership realise this, the sooner we start to train troops and the population for this – the more chances we will have for survival, which means victory.’
Sadly, Vladimirov is seeing things quite clearly.
If we stay on the path that we are on, it will result in the unthinkable.
That is why so many of us have been advocating for a peaceful solution in Ukraine.
Unfortunately, Joe Biden and his minions just keep escalating matters. They are deeply frustrated with how poorly Ukraine’s counteroffensive has fared, and they are pushing the Ukrainians to make more of an effort to achieve a breakthrough in the south…
Half a dozen US officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told The New York Times and other outlets that they are starting to question some of Ukraine’s military tactics, including where on the frontline they are placing their combat units.
Ukrainian commanders are dividing their forces equally between the east and the south of the country when they should be consolidating them more in the south, the officials said.
They urged Ukraine to push through the vast minefields left behind by Russia in the area, even if this means losing more soldiers and equipment in the process, according to the reports.
But what are the Ukrainians supposed to do?
The Russian defenses are extremely well prepared, and tens of thousands of Ukrainian men have already been slaughtered during fruitless attempts to break through Russian lines.
Meanwhile, the Russians have been making significant gains on the eastern front…
The Ukrainian Army is facing a major strategic defeat on the eastern front as it shows obvious signs of collapse along the entire defensive axis from Kupyansk to Svyatovo-Kremina-Liman-Serebryansky-Belogorovka.
As we can see, the situation in the Kupyansk and Krasnolimansky directions is becoming more and more difficult for the Ukrainian formations.
It is no coincidence that Kiev forces in the Kharkiv region, with the support of the SBU (Security Service of Ukraine), conduct door-to-door walks in the territory, and almost all men, even the elderly, are mobilized into the ranks of Ukrainian formations.
The Ukrainians are running out of warm bodies.
At some point they are going to get very desperate.
And as I always say, desperate people do desperate things.
At the same time, war with China just keeps getting closer and closer.
This week, the Biden administration approved an 80 million dollar military weapons package for Taiwan “under a program typically saved for sovereign nations”…
The Biden administration has approved funding for the first-ever transfer of US military equipment to Taiwan under a program typically saved for sovereign nations, according to a notification sent to Congress on Tuesday.
The package – which is part of the State Department’s foreign military financing (FMF) program – totals $80 million and will be paid for by US taxpayers.
“FMF will be used to strengthen Taiwan’s self-defense capabilities through joint and combined defense capability and enhanced maritime domain awareness and maritime security capability,” the department wrote in its notification to Congress that was reviewed by CNN.
Needless to say, this move absolutely infuriated the Chinese…
China’s Foreign Ministry on Thursday expressed “strong dissatisfaction” and “firm opposition” at the arms sale, which it said had harmed “China’s sovereignty and security interests” and undermined “peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.”
It urged the US to “cease enhancing US-Taiwan military connections and arming Taiwan” and “stop creating tensions across the Taiwan Strait,” ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin told a regular news conference.
China’s Defense Ministry also lashed out at the sale, saying the Chinese military will “take all necessary measures to resolutely counter this.”
Ever since Joe Biden entered the White House, his administration has been endlessly provoking both the Russians and the Chinese.
In the process, they have been driven closer together.
And now the Russians are actually proposing that North Korea should also be included in upcoming joint naval exercises…
Russia has reportedly proposed conducting three-way naval exercises with North Korea and China in the Indo-Pacific, potentially formalizing a union between countries that already individually pose security threats to the U.S. and its allies.
According to South Korean news agency Yonhap, South Korea’s National Intelligence Service revealed the proposal to lawmakers in a closed-door briefing on Monday, alleging that the Russian defense minister Sergei Shoigu offered such a show of alliance to North Korea during his meeting with Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un in July. Just this past weekend, Russia’s ambassador to North Korea, Alexander Matsegora, told Russian media that it “seems appropriate” to include North Korea in joint military drills between Russia and China.
The stage is being set for the hot phase of World War III.
But most Americans are clueless about all of this.
Most Americans simply believe it when our “experts” tell them that everything is going to be just fine, and for the moment ignorance is bliss.

Oil prices hit 10-month high as Saudi Arabia, Russia extend supply cuts
By Associated Press Published Sep. 5, 2023, 2:25 p.m. ET
Saudi Arabia and Russia agreed Tuesday to extend their voluntary oil production cuts through the end of this year, trimming 1.3 million barrels of crude out of the global market and boosting energy prices.
The dual announcements from Riyadh and Moscow pushed benchmark Brent crude around $90 a barrel on Tuesday, a price unseen in the market since November.
The countries’ moves could increase inflation and the cost for motorists at gasoline pumps.
It also puts new pressure on Saudi Arabia’s relationship with the United States, as President Joe Biden last year warned the kingdom there would be unspecified “consequences” for partnering with Russia on cuts as Moscow wages war on Ukraine.
Saudi Arabia’s announcement, carried by the state-run Saudi Press Agency, said the country still would monitor the market and could take further action if necessary.
“This additional voluntary cut comes to reinforce the precautionary efforts made by OPEC+ countries with the aim of supporting the stability and balance of oil markets,” the Saudi Press Agency report said, citing an unnamed Energy Ministry official.

State-run Russian news agency Tass quoted Alexander Novak, Russia’s deputy prime minister and former energy minister, as saying Moscow would continue its 300,000 barrel a day cut.
The decision “is aimed at strengthening the precautionary measures taken by OPEC+ countries in order to maintain stability and balance of oil markets,” Novak said.
Benchmark Brent crude traded Tuesday above $90 a barrel after the announcement.
Brent had largely hovered between $75 and $85 a barrel since last October. A barrel of West Texas Intermediate, a benchmark for America, settled at $86.69 a barrel, up 1.3%.
There was no immediate reaction in Washington, though US lawmakers have criticized OPEC, Saudi Arabia and Russia over their past production decisions.
Bob McNally, the founder and president of the Washington-based Rapidan Energy Group and a former White House energy adviser, said Saudi Arabia and Russia had “demonstrated their unity and resolve to proactively manage” the risk of oil prices potentially dropping in tougher economic conditions with their announcement Tuesday.

“Barring a sharp economic downturn, these supply cuts will drive deep deficits into global oil balances and should propel crude oil prices well above $90 per barrel,” McNally said.
The average gallon of regular unleaded gasoline in the US stands at $3.81, according to AAA, just under the all-time high for Labor Day of $3.83 in 2012.
However, gasoline demand typically drops for US motorists after the holiday so it remains unclear what immediate effect this could have on the American market, AAA spokesman Andrew Gross said.
“I’m more concerned about what the rest of hurricane season may hold,” Gross told The Associated Press. “A big storm along the Gulf coast could move prices dramatically here.”
Hurricane Idalia just plowed through Florida and US forecasters said Tuesday that a new tropical depression in the Atlantic Ocean could become a “major hurricane.”
A customer pumps gas The countries’ moves could increase inflation and the cost for motorists at gasoline pumps. AP
Meanwhile, higher gasoline prices can increase transportation costs and ultimately push the prices of goods even higher at a time when the US and much of the world is already raising interest rates to combat inflation.
The Saudi reduction, which began in July, comes as the other OPEC+ producers have agreed to extend earlier production cuts through next year.
A series of production cuts over the past year has failed to substantially boost prices amid weakened demand from China and tighter monetary policy aimed at combating inflation.
But with international travel back up to nearly pre-pandemic levels, the demand for oil likely will continue to rise.
The Saudis are particularly keen to boost oil prices in order to fund Vision 2030, an ambitious plan to overhaul the kingdom’s economy, reduce its dependence on oil and to create jobs for a young population.
The plan includes several massive infrastructure projects, including the construction of a futuristic $500 billion city called Neom.
But Saudi Arabia also has to manage its relationship with Washington. Biden campaigned on a promise of making the kingdom’s powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman a “pariah” over the 2018 killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.

Scientists grow whole model of human embryo, without sperm or egg
Published 2 hours ago By James Gallagher Health and science correspondent
Scientists have grown an entity that closely resembles an early human embryo, without using sperm, eggs or a womb.
The Weizmann Institute team say their "embryo model", made using stem cells, looks like a textbook example of a real 14-day-old embryo.
It even released hormones that turned a pregnancy test positive in the lab.
The ambition for embryo models is to provide an ethical way of understanding the earliest moments of our lives.
The first weeks after a sperm fertilises an egg is a period of dramatic change - from a collection of indistinct cells to something that eventually becomes recognisable on a baby scan.
This crucial time is a major source of miscarriage and birth defects but poorly understood.
"It's a black box and that's not a cliche - our knowledge is very limited," Prof Jacob Hanna, from the Weizmann Institute of Science, tells me.
Starting material
Embryo research is legally, ethically and technically fraught. But there is now a rapidly developing field mimicking natural embryo development.
This research, published in the journal Nature, is described by the Israeli team as the first "complete" embryo model for mimicking all the key structures that emerge in the early embryo.
"This is really a textbook image of a human day-14 embryo," Prof Hanna says, which "hasn't been done before".
Instead of a sperm and egg, the starting material was naive stem cells which were reprogrammed to gain the potential to become any type of tissue in the body.
Chemicals were then used to coax these stem cells into becoming four types of cell found in the earliest stages of the human embryo:
epiblast cells, which become the embryo proper (or foetus)
trophoblast cells, which become the placenta
hypoblast cells, which become the supportive yolk sac
extraembryonic mesoderm cells
A total of 120 of these cells were mixed in a precise ratio - and then, the scientists step back and watch.
How the embryo was made
About 1% of the mixture began the journey of spontaneously assembling themselves into a structure that resembles, but is not identical to, a human embryo.
"I give great credit to the cells - you have to bring the right mix and have the right environment and it just takes off," Prof Hanna says. "That's an amazing phenomenon."
Synthetic human embryo raises ethical issues
Synthetic mouse embryo develops beating heart
The embryo models were allowed to grow and develop until they were comparable to an embryo 14 days after fertilisation. In many countries, this is the legal cut-off for normal embryo research.
Despite the late-night video call, I can hear the passion as Prof Hanna gives me a 3D tour of the "exquisitely fine architecture" of the embryo model.
I can see the trophoblast, which would normally become the placenta, enveloping the embryo. And it includes the cavities - called lacuna - that fill with the mother's blood to transfer nutrients to the baby.
There is a yolk sac, which has some of the roles of the liver and kidneys, and a bilaminar embryonic disc - one of the key hallmarks of this stage of embryo development.
'Making sense'
The hope is embryo models can help scientists explain how different types of cell emerge, witness the earliest steps in building the body's organs or understand inherited or genetic diseases.
Already, this study shows other parts of the embryo will not form unless the early placenta cells can surround it.
There is even talk of improving in vitro fertilisation (IVF) success rates by helping to understand why some embryos fail or using the models to test whether medicines are safe during pregnancy.
Prof Robin Lovell Badge, who researches embryo development at the Francis Crick Institute, tells me these embryo models "do look pretty good" and "do look pretty normal".
"I think it's good, I thinks it's done very well, it's all making sense and I'm pretty impressed with it," he says.
But the current 99% failure rate would need to be improved, he adds. It would be hard to understand what was going wrong in miscarriage or infertility if the model failed to assemble itself most of the time.
Legally distinct
The work also raises the question of whether embryo development could be mimicked past the 14-day stage.
This would not be illegal, even in the UK, as embryo models are legally distinct from embryos.
"Some will welcome this - but others won't like it," Prof Lovell-Badge says.
And the closer these models come to an actual embryo, the more ethical questions they raise.
They are not normal human embryos, they're embryo models, but they're very close to them.
"So should you regulate them in the same way as a normal human embryo or can you be a bit more relaxed about how they're treated?"
Prof Alfonso Martinez Arias, from the department of experimental and health sciences at Pompeu Fabra University, said it was "a most important piece of research".
"The work has, for the first time, achieved a faithful construction of the complete structure [of a human embryo] from stem cells" in the lab, "thus opening the door for studies of the events that lead to the formation of the human body plan," he said.
The researchers stress it would be unethical, illegal and actually impossible to achieve a pregnancy using these embryo models - assembling the 120 cells together goes beyond the point an embryo could successfully implant into the lining of the womb.

The Frequency of Billion-Dollar Disasters in the U.S.
Published 3 weeks ago on August 10, 2023

Frequency of Billion-Dollar Disasters in the U.S.
Wildfires on the Hawaiian island of Maui have had devastating effects on people, towns, and nature, and the final cost is nowhere near tallied. They are the latest of many climate disasters in the U.S.—and data shows that their frequency has been increasing.
These graphics from Planet Anomaly use tracking data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to show the average number of days between billion-dollar weather disasters in the U.S. from 1980 to 2022.
Methodology
NOAA’s database examines billion-dollar weather and climate disasters in America. Total associated damages and costs for each event are adjusted for inflation using the 2023 Consumer Price Index (CPI).
Disasters are categorized as one of seven different types:
Drought: Prolonged dry spells resulting in water shortages and reduced soil moisture.
Flooding: Overflow of water inundating land usually due to intense rainfall or melting snow.
Tropical Cyclone: Intense rotating storm systems known as hurricanes.
Severe Storm: Includes windstorms and tornadoes, hail, lightning, and heavy precipitation.
Winter Storm: Heavy snow, freezing rain, and icy conditions impacting transportation and infrastructure.
Wildfire: Uncontrolled fires consuming vast areas of forests and vegetation.
Freezes: Sub-zero temperatures damaging crops and infrastructure, such as pipes or energy lines.
The average days between billion-dollar disasters are calculated from the start dates of adjacent events within a single year.
Days Between Billion-Dollar Disasters in the U.S. (1980‒2022)
Between 1980 and 2022, there were 155 total disasters in the U.S. that cost more than a billion dollars in damages when adjusted for inflation.
And when looking at the average number of days between these billion-dollar events within each year, we can see the decades becoming more and more costly:
Year Avg. Days Between Disasters
1980 60
1981 113
1982 85
1983 66
1984 78
1985 48
1986 104
1987 N/A
1988 N/A
1989 47
Showing 1 to 10 of 43 entries
PreviousNext
Back in the early 1980s, the average interval between these major disasters (within each year) was 75 days. Even more starkly, 1987 had no climate disasters that topped $1 billion in damages, while 1988 only had one.
Fast forward to 2022, and that average window has drastically reduced to a mere 20 days between billion-dollar disasters in the United States.
Breaking Down Billion-Dollar Disasters by Type
Of the 155 disasters tracked through 2022, the majority have been in the form of severe storms including tornadoes, windstorms, and thunderstorms.
The worst severe storms include an outbreak of tornadoes in April 2011 across many central and southern states, with an estimated 343 tornadoes causing a total of $14 billion in CPI-adjusted damages. In August 2020, a powerful derecho—a widespread and intense windstorm characterized by straight-line winds—devastated millions of acres of crops across the Midwest and caused $13 billion in adjusted damages.
But the most expensive disasters so far have been hurricanes. Eight hurricanes top the inflation-adjusted damages charts, with Hurricane Katrina’s unprecedented devastation in 2005 leading with a staggering $194 billion.
Will the U.S. be prepared for more costly disasters going forward? And will climate change continue to accelerate the pace of weather disasters in the U.S. even more?

Visualizing the Global Population by Water Security Levels
Most of the world’s population today lives in countries facing critical water security issues.
Dealing with issues such as declining freshwater availability, demand from growing populations, insufficient infrastructure, or flawed water governance can impact how easily a country’s population can access water. A combination of multiple factors quickly makes problems with water security a lived reality.
A recent Global Water Security Report by the United Nations University assessed the water security of different countries across the world.
Methodology
This study assesses water security in countries by examining 10 different underlying components, ranging from water quality and sanitation to availability, resource stability, and climate-related risks.
Each component is given a score out of 10, with a nation’s overall water security score calculated from the sum. Water security levels are assigned based on the overall scores:
75 and above is classified as “water secure”
65‒74 is classified as “moderately secure”
41‒64 indicates a country is “water insecure”
40 and below is considered “critically insecure”
Water Security Levels by Country
Water security remains a concern around the world, but is especially dire in regions like the Middle East and Africa, where 13 of the 23 nations in the critically insecure category are located.
In total, 113 countries are considered water insecure, including the world’s two most populated, India and China. An additional 24 countries are considered critically water insecure, with the largest by population including Pakistan and Ethiopia
Search:
Country Water Security Score Assessed Level
?? Afghanistan 32 Critical
?? Albania 60 Insecure
?? Algeria 58 Insecure
?? Angola 53 Insecure
?? Antigua and Barbuda 56 Insecure
?? Argentina 56 Insecure
?? Armenia 60 Insecure
?? Australia 78 Secure
?? Austria 85 Secure
?? Azerbaijan 60 Insecure
Showing 1 to 10 of 186 entries
PreviousNext
Countries facing water security issues account for 72% of the world’s population, with an additional 8% of the global population facing critical water insecurity.
That includes 4.3 billion people in the Asia-Pacific region alone, and an additional 1.3 billion people across Africa. Many of these countries are grappling with issues including fast-growing populations and drought conditions faster than they can develop the necessary infrastructure to deal with them.
Only 12% of the world’s population lives in water-secure countries, including almost all Western countries, with Norway at the very top of the rankings at an overall score of 90. An additional 8% of the world lives in moderately secure countries such as Brazil and Russia.
However, water availability in these more secure countries is not perfect either. For example, U.S. states reliant on the Colorado River for irrigation and drinking water are facing continued drought conditions and limiting consumption, with further crisis on the horizon.
Towards a Water Secure Future
As nations around the world face increasing water-related challenges, governments and international agencies have been collaborating to foster sustainable water management practices. In fact, clean water and sanitation for all is one of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Many regions have already begun to implement these practices. For example, cities in California have begun recycling wastewater and capturing stormwater to deal with water scarcity. Farming-dependent regions are also looking to smart agriculture to reduce the drain on the limited freshwater resources.
Such initiatives to improve water irrigation systems, enhance water infrastructure, and conserve the depleting freshwater reserves may help elevate countries out of water insecurity and help preserve this precious resource for generations to come.

NUKE ALERT Putin puts 16,000mph doomsday nuke dubbed Satan-2 ‘that can sink UK in ONE strike’ on combat duty for the first time
Sarah Hooper Will Stewart Published: 7:44 ET, Sep 1 2023Updated: 9:57 ET, Sep 1 2023
VLADIMIR Putin has placed the world’s most powerful Armageddon nuclear rocket dubbed Satan-2 on combat duty in a haunting new threat to the West.
The "unstoppable" intercontinental missile system could "sink the UK" and is the size of a 14-storey tower block.
Yury Borisov, head of the Russian Space Agency, issued the chilling announcement earlier today.
He told a crowd of students at an event: “The Sarmat strategic complex has been put on combat duty."
Borisov also said today that Russia will "most likely" undock the Russian module from the International Space Station after 2030.
The Armageddon weapon is 116 feet in length and can be loaded with 15 light nuclear warheads at once.
The weapon was designed to carry out nuclear strikes in countries thousands of miles away in the US and Europe.
It has the potential to obliterate the United Kingdom some 1,600 miles away in just six minutes.
And with an operational range of up to 11,180 miles, the deadly missile is reported to have no equivalent in the West in terms of the terror it could unleash.
The 208-tonne missile was meant to go on duty in late 2022, but was mysteriously delayed.

Direct Government Censorship Of The Internet Is Here
August 31, 2023 by Michael
Censorship of the Internet has been getting worse for years, but we just crossed a threshold which is going to take things to a whole new level. On August 25th, a new law known as the “Digital Services Act” went into effect in the European Union. Under this new law, European bureaucrats will be able to order big tech companies to censor any content that is considered to be “illegal”, “disinformation” or “hate speech”. That includes content that is posted by users outside of the European Union, because someone that lives in the European Union might see it. I wrote about this a few days ago, but I don’t think that people are really understanding the implications of this new law. In the past, there have been times when governments have requested that big tech companies take down certain material, but now this new law will give government officials the power to force big tech companies to take down any content that they do not like. Any big tech companies that choose not to comply will be hit with extremely harsh penalties.
Of course mainstream news outlets such as the Washington Post are attempting to put a positive spin on this new law. We are being told that it will “safeguard” us from “illegal content” and “disinformation”…
New rules meant to safeguard people from illegal content, targeted ads, unwanted algorithmic feeds and disinformation online are finally in force, thanks to new regulation in the European Union that took effect this month.
Doesn’t that sound wonderful?
When this new law was first approved, NPR admitted that it will enable European governments to “take down a wide range of content”…
Under the EU law, governments would be able to ask companies take down a wide range of content that would be deemed illegal, including material that promotes terrorism, child sexual abuse, hate speech and commercial scams.
In addition to “illegal content” and “hate speech”, the Digital Services Act also applies to “hoaxes” and any material that is considered to be “disinformation”. The following comes from the official website of the European Commission…
At the same time, the DSA regulates very large online platforms’ and very large online search engines responsibilities when it comes to systemic issues such as disinformation, hoaxes and manipulation during pandemics, harms to vulnerable groups and other emerging societal harms.
These new content rules are so vague that they could apply to just about anything.
And that is precisely what they want.
From this point forward, if you post something that they do not like, they will have the power to have it taken down.
Even if you don’t live in the European Union, they can have your content taken down, because someone in the European Union might see it.
So who will be doing the censoring?
Well, it is being reported that “hundreds of unelected EU bureaucrats will decide what constitutes disinformation and instruct Big Tech firms to censor it”…
Under this Orwellian regime, a team of hundreds of unelected EU bureaucrats will decide what constitutes disinformation and instruct Big Tech firms to censor it. The firms themselves, faced with reputational risk and financial penalties, will have little choice other than to comply. This can be done in all manner of ways: simply by human moderators removing content, by shadow-banning problematic creators to reduce their reach, by demonetising certain content, and by tweaking algorithms to favour or disfavour certain topics. And though, legally speaking, the DSA only applies in the EU, once installed inside Big Tech firms, this vast content-regulation apparatus will surely affect users in the rest of the world, too.
In addition, the official website of the European Commission is telling us that big tech companies must “react with priority” to any content that has been reported by “trusted flaggers”…
A priority channel will be created for trusted flaggers – entities which have demonstrated particular expertise and competence – to report illegal content to which platforms will have to react with priority.
This means that far left organizations that have been set up to police content online will now be given extraordinary power to restrict speech on the Internet.
Needless to say, the Internet is never going to be the same after this.
Initially, this new law will apply to 19 very large online platforms…
The online platforms affected are Alibaba AliExpress, Amazon Store, Apple AppStore, Booking.com, Facebook, Google Play, Google Maps, Google Shopping, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Snapchat, TikTok, X (listed as Twitter), Wikipedia, YouTube, the European clothing retailer Zalando, Bing and Google Search.
If any of those large online platforms choose not to comply with the new law, the penalties could be extremely severe…
A firm that does not comply with the law could face a complete ban in Europe or fines running up to 6% of its global revenue.
Last month, X/Twitter said it was on track to generate $3bn (£2.4bn) in revenue. A fine of 6% would be the equivalent of £144m.
Once we get to February 24th, 2024, the Digital Services Act will also apply to a vast multitude of smaller platforms.
At that point, it will be very difficult to escape the reach of this new law.
And just to make sure that they can keep a very close eye on things, the EU just established a brand new office in San Francisco on June 22nd…
European Commissioner for Internal Market Thierry Breton cut the ribbon to commemorate the official launch of the European Union’s San Francisco office on Thursday, June 22, alongside Lieutenant Governor of California Eleni Kounalakis, California State Senator Scott Wiener, and Chair of the European Parliament’s Committee on Legal Affairs Adrian Vazquez.
“I am very glad to be here today in Silicon Valley, a global centre for digital technology and innovation, to officially inaugurate the new European Union office in San Francisco,” Commissioner Breton said in his keynote address to an audience of business and technology sector leaders. “As like-minded partners who strive for reciprocity and common principles, all while respecting our respective democratic processes, our transatlantic ties are more relevant than ever in the area of technology.”
For many years, the Internet was one of the last bastions for free speech.
But now everything has changed.
From this point forward, far left European bureaucrats will get to determine what is acceptable and what is not acceptable on our large online platforms.
Direct government censorship of the Internet is here, and that is going to make it much more difficult to share the truth with a world that desperately needs it.
These are such dark times, and they are getting darker with each passing day.
Michael’s new book entitled “End Times” is now available in paperback and for the Kindle on Amazon.com, and you can check out his new Substack newsletter right here.

In Argentina, Organized Groups Are Looting Stores for Food as Inflation Exceeds 100%
Fabian Ommar September 1, 2023 No Comments
By the author of Street Survivalism: A Practical Training Guide To Life In The City and The Ultimate Survival Gear Handbook
In the middle of August, large groups invaded and looted supermarkets and stores in the suburbs of the capital Buenos Aires and the provinces of Mendoza, Córdoba, Neuquén, and Río Negro. Though the situation has improved, I’ve been receiving direct reports from Argentinian locals saying attacks are still happening. As I write this post, more than 200 people, including minors, were arrested in more than 150 violent events.
“At least 20 people were arrested on Tuesday in Córdoba for the looting of at least 12 shops, provincial police said in a statement. In Mendoza, seven were detained, with unrest also reported in Neuquén. In the nation’s capital, Buenos Aires City, an attempt to loot shops in Barrio 1-11-14, Bajo Flores, on Monday night was prevented by residents.
Those incidents came less than 24 hours after a large group attempted to loot a supermarket in Río Cuarto, Córdoba Province. At least ten people were arrested for the incident, seven of whom are minors.” [source]
According to the authorities, the looting was organized and called for on social media by known groups. Indeed, former social union leader and presidential pre-candidate Raúl Castells said in an interview with a TV channel that “people are going after food, and we’re calling them to take everything they can to trade for food, but not to take money nor destroy property.”
The attacks brought back memories of 1989 and 2001 when the economy collapsed, and the population revolted during the governments of former presidents Raul Alfonsín and Fernando De La Rúa. Unlike those instances, though, this time, part of the population mobilized to stop the looters and defend commerce. Images of owners loading firearms and preparing to protect their stores circulated everywhere, too.
From bad to absolute hell
The context, however, is very similar: inflation is above 100%, one of the highest in the world, and 40% of the population lives in poverty (some say it’s even more than that). The government is desperate and running out of time and to unlock a US$44 billion credit deal negotiated with the IMF, it agreed on a 21% devaluation of the Peso, causing an immediate 30% rise in prices of… everything. The unofficial ‘blue dollar’ skyrocketed in the black market. According to analysts, the cost of living might reach two digits in the next months.
There’s a crisis in habitation reaching unimaginable levels, too. Homeowners and investors are waiting for the revision of the Ley de Alquileres, or rent laws, which were approved in 2020 during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, they’re now marking rents in USD rather than Pesos, which added to the pressure of inflation. To make matters worse, there are almost no real estate listings in Buenos Aires and other large cities.
On the political front, President Alberto Fernandéz declared the looting “organized” and asked for “the preservation of social peace and democracy.” Fernandéz won’t run for office in the October presidential elections. Still, his Peronist party seized the opportunity to flood the press with declarations against the opposition for an alleged “public discourse that is trying to destabilize democracy.”
The main target of the Peronistas is right-wing Javier Milei, who gained a lot of attention and support after winning the August primaries with 30% of the votes. He declared, “It’s tragic to see images of looting after 20 years; poverty and plundering are two sides of the same coin.” (Brazilian legacy media has been trying to destroy Milei just as they’re doing with Bolsonaro and Trump – professional journalism is dead.)
Democracy under attack, or the social fabric undoing?
The barrage of criminals invading stores and leaving with bags of stolen goods unbothered has become a common sight in the US and other developed nations. In Europe, migrants attacking and raping residents in the streets for seemingly no reason is a daily occurrence in many countries as well.
Last weekend in Rio de Janeiro, 500 people got arrested during a free concert at Copacabana beach for trying to steal smartphones from attendees. I’ve already addressed the widespread issue of unprovoked violence, another recent phenomenon (and how to prepare for it).
The authorities in Argentina are treating the attacks as a criminal initiative.
“There have been arrests by the police and judicial authorities, and many of the organizers are citizens with previous convictions. We don’t see in this a social reaction, but rather acts that deserve the full weight of the law,” added Cabinet Chief Agustín Rossi on Tuesday. (source)
The same authorities are taking a political stance by trying to pin the “anti-democratic discourse” onto their opponents, who in turn are firing back by associating the looting with past crises of a different nature and dimension.
Who’s right?
In my opinion, both are right in their assessments but consciously omit part of the issue in an attempt to defend their agendas or profit politically from these events. These events are a mix of crime, political manifestation, and social revolt. It’s an expression of discontent with the corruption, the economic situation, the gaslighting, the loss of freedom and political expression, and more.
The present crisis is more profound and broader, rooted in complex causes. Identifying all those components – and possibly many others – in the wave of looting in Argentina is possible, as well as in the current crisis my country is going through, and also the US, Canada, Europe, and most others in the Western world, with some differences and particularities.
An important takeaway is that there seems to be no solution in sight, so the odds are these events will become more frequent and violent. Trends in motion tend to remain in motion and even accelerate toward the end (and we’re far from the end).
Another aspect to pay attention to is the natural developments. Governments will act to squash these and any popular movements. This response is never linear: typically, they downplay, under-react, then overreact. That’s the script every single time, and we, the people, pay the price either way, so better prepare.
So, is Argentina on the verge of social collapse?
Or is it something else? And why should you and I care?
Because something similar may happen in the future where we live for the same or different reasons. It may or may not be exactly the same, but it doesn’t matter much. I’m talking about dynamics.
Most First World residents look at Argentina and see just another Third World sh*thole that seems to never get out of the pit, a banana republic forever struggling with poverty, corruption, and shrouded in populism. That is hard to argue and a common perspective even in many of its neighbors.
However, Argentina is a big country, once the most prosperous and still the third largest economy in South America. Before WW1, its per-capita GDP compared to Germany’s, and Argentina shows marks of that period to this day. For instance, the education level of its population ranks higher than neighboring countries even after decades of erosion and decadence.
The reason I mention that is twofold: 1) Argentina may be a proxy of developed countries as well as of developing or poorer ones, and 2) How things can completely turn upside down and the circumstances change so drastically, given the right (or should I say wrong) conditions.
The events in Argentina are a lesson in “can’t happen anywhere” we so often talk about, and something to keep in mind.
What are your thoughts?
Have you followed these events? Do you see the parallels between the crime waves in large American cities and these events in Argentina? Have you given thought to how you can protect yourself if you’re present when something like this occurs? Have you seen a local uptick in crime where you live?
Let’s discuss it in the comments section.

AS PROPHESIED IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION? Researchers Are Developing Injectable ‘Smart Tattoos’ To Monitor You
August 31, 2023 by SkyWatch Editor
Tattoos are considered to be among the oldest forms of art, dating back thousands of years and practiced by many cultures across human history. Now some researchers believe the next generation of tattoos will be about more than just markings – by helping keep tabs on our health. Creating “smart tattoo” pigments that can be injected under the skin to monitor certain biomarkers in the human body requires a collaboration between “scientists, engineers and designers,” says Dr. Ali Yetisen, a researcher in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London. His concept replaces conventional tattoo ink with “functional materials,” Yetisen says, creating “tattoos that change their color in response to external stimuli,” such as a change in blood sugar levels for people with diabetes, monitoring kidney or liver functions, or warning athletes of dehydration…

CNN - Tattoos are considered to be among the oldest forms of art, dating back thousands of years and practiced by many cultures across human history. Now some researchers believe the next generation of tattoos will be about more than just markings – by helping keep tabs on our health. Creating “smart tattoo” pigments that can be injected under the skin to monitor certain biomarkers in the human body requires a collaboration between “scientists, engineers and designers,” says Dr. Ali Yetisen, a researcher in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London. His concept replaces conventional tattoo ink with “functional materials,” Yetisen says, creating “tattoos that change their color in response to external stimuli,” such as a change in blood sugar levels for people with diabetes, monitoring kidney or liver functions, or warning athletes of dehydration…
Yetisen began his work as a postdoctoral research scientist at Harvard Medical School. Along with fellow Harvard and MIT researchers, he debuted a proof of concept called Dermal Abyss in 2017. Four biosensors changed color in response to “three pieces of biochemical information in body fluid,” including glucose and pH levels, according to MIT.
“We hope that these innovative technologies will be a general platform in order to utilize diagnostic technologies,” Yetisen says, including a “wide range of implantable and injectable sensors that can report and display the human condition in real time.”
Invisible ink
While the work of Yetisen and his team focuses on the body from the inside out, a research lab run by Dr. Carson Bruns is working on smart tattoos to help monitor external factors such as radiation or UV light exposure, a leading cause of skin cancer – “by far the most common type of cancer,” according to the American Cancer Society.
Bruns, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder, says he got his first tattoo at age 19, sparking a love of the art that has carried over into his research. In 2020, he was part of a team that published a paper on a small, light-sensitive tattoo dubbed the “solar freckle” – a “little dot powered by sunshine,” as Bruns describes it. The otherwise invisible tattoo would reveal itself when exposed to UV light, like when a person has been in the sun for too long, and disappear when more sunscreen has been applied or after leaving the sunlight.
Convinced of the safety even before running wider tests (there are no FDA-approved tattoo inks in the US, Bruns says, and his team is using “non-toxic, medical-grade materials that have a long history of biomedical use” for the smart inks), Bruns gave himself several solar freckle tattoos, which lasted roughly six to eight months before fading, he says.
The team has since developed smart tattoo pigments that can work for at least three years, Bruns adds, and can be “turned on and off” by controlling the light source.
The technology is now being commercialized through a new company called Magic Ink, in partnership with Bruns, fellow scientist Jesse Butterfield, and the celebrity tattoo artist known as Bang Bang. There’s interest from tattoo artists for cosmetic reasons and also for potential health uses, primarily in the field of radiation treatment, according to Bruns. Millions of patients undergoing radiation therapy receive small tattoos, which help radiation therapists pinpoint the same location during every treatment. But many patients don’t want the tattoos as a “permanent reminder of a traumatic experience,” he explains.
Instead, using the smart ink, “you can come in and your radiation therapist can shine a little UV light on, you activate the tattoo so it’s visible and they can align the [radiation] beam,” he says, “and then as soon as your radiation therapy is done, they can shine a white light on you and the tattoo will disappear … until the next time you come back for treatment.”
Bruns recently received a National Science Foundation CAREER research award for $605,000, separate from Magic Ink, which he says will fund more research into the overall safety of smart tattoos. “We hope our results will ultimately inform Magic Ink and all tattoo ink manufacturers how to optimize the biocompatibility of their pigments in due time. Magic Ink will likely aim for FDA approval at some point in the future when and if there is finally a precedent for an FDA approval process for tattoo pigments in the United States,” he adds.
A “check-engine light”
Researchers say one advantage of smart tattoos over wearable technology such as smart watches or glucose monitors is that they can’t be hacked or run out of battery.
“Wearables are great,” says Bruns, but they eventually become uncomfortable or need to be replaced over time, and implants often require more invasive surgeries. “(Smart tattoos) are the most convenient,” he believes, “because it’s kind of this wonderful middle ground between wearables and implants.”
According to Dr. Daniel Kraft, founder of NextMed.Health, a platform that brings innovators together to reimagine the future of health care, “smart tattoos are early in their evolution, but as technology accelerates at an exponential pace, they have the potential to play a significant role in health and wellness, especially as technology shrinks and data and insights become more personalized and proactive.”
“Low-cost, temporary health-related tattoos could even play a role in health screening, and in low-resource global health and public health settings,” he added in an email to CNN.
Kraft, who is not involved in Yetisen’s or Bruns’ research, compares smart tattoos like the blood glucose-level monitoring proposed by Yetisen’s London lab to a “check-engine” warning light in a car, which could prompt someone to take action before an issue becomes more serious.
Challenges ahead
But one challenge is getting the general public to accept this technology, agree both Yetisen and Bruns. For some people and cultures, there’s a stigma around having a tattoo, while others have questions about the safety of injections under the skin.
So far, Yetisen’s technology has been tested on pig skin, and human clinical trials will be the focus over the next three years, he says. They are considered medical devices, so it’s unlikely you’ll be able to book an appointment for one at your local tattoo parlor; instead, it would be a hospital setting, he adds, where a dermatologist can inject the tattoo biosensors.
Another challenge will be making sure the data and insights are accurate enough, leading to “meaningful, actionable insights” for disease prevention, diagnosis and therapy, says Kraft, and for all skin types including darker skin colors. He adds that another hurdle to wider public acceptance will be if tattoos must be frequently reapplied, as even traditional tattoos often fade over time.
In its current form, Yetisen’s high-tech ink can only be “utilized from weeks to months, and after a certain period of time, it will be absorbed by the human body,” Yetisen says. His team is working to extend that timeframe, while exploring an idea to use nature-inspired bioluminescent sensors that glow on the skin under a certain light.
He envisions a future where astronauts could utilize smart tattoos in space to gauge radiation exposure, for infectious disease detection in the general public or to help monitor chronic disease.
“I believe that in the next decade, human skin will serve as an interactive display in order to show a wide range of biomarker changes,” Yetisen says.

HUNGARY BLOCKS ALL E.U. AID TO UKRAINE!
World Hal Turner 31 August 2023 Hits: 11678
Hungary has vetoed the European Union's intent to give more money to Ukraine until such time as Ukraine accounts for the 50-70 Billion EUROS already given!
Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said today "Of course I won't give-=in to pressure. Until we get a detailed, clear account of what the approximately 50-70 billion EUROS spent on Ukraine, was spent on, and until the OTP Bank is removed from the list of so-called International Sponsors of the War, there can be no question of making a decision about additional funds to finance armaments, or _anything_ related to Ukraine."
European Union Chief, Borrell, was literally in tears (pictured below) over the situation.
Borrell had tried to allocate more "Peace Funds" to Zelensky in Ukraine, but had to publicly admit he could not release the next tranche of funds to Kiev "because Hungary said no."
With European money now halted for Ukraine, it is only a matter of time before the Ukrainians completely collapse.

As The 'Biden Curtain' Goes Up Around Lahaina, What's Going On With All Of The 'Wildfires' Across America, Canada And Europe? The Deagel Report Warned Us As Our Infrastructure Is Destroyed
By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die August 31, 2023
If you're anything like me, you're probably wondering WHAT IN THE WORLD is going on with all of these wildfires not only all across the United States but up in Canada as well, as well as in many parts of Europe, especially considering everything we've witnessed in Maui since the absolutely devastating 'fires' hit that area leaving a still unknown number of people dead and thousands of children missing.
With some of the most recent wildfires striking parts of Louisiana over the last couple of days as reported in this NY Post story, while in Greece, they're fighting a losing battle to save the lungs of Athens as CNN reported in this story, we shouldn't be the least bit surprised that the 'climate change cult' is blaming 'climate change,' while ignoring growing evidence that these fires were somehow intentionally set, quite possibly by 'directed energy weapons,' aka, DEW's.
And with growing signs of some kind of a massive cover-up going on in Maui with the Hawaiian state government carrying out a media blackout, largely refusing the media access to the region, even locals are being harassed by law enforcement for filming in the area as seen in the 1st video at the bottom of this story. And that bizarre strangeness takes another turn towards a cover-up as was reported in this August 25th Natural News story reporting a fully licensed drone operator recently had his drone 'forced down' when trying to take footage of the region, with drone operator Davin Phelps even visited by federal agents soon afterwards. So why would a licensed drone operator be visited by the Feds just for taking pictures/videos, UNLESS his drone was going to see something 'they' didn't want us to see?
And now as we read in this Gateway Pundit story and see for ourselves in the 2nd video at the bottom of this story, they're putting up a huge black fence all around 'Ground Zero' in Lahaina, preventing people from looking in, what's being called the 'Biden Curtain' by locals, and another sure sign that something is being covered up with 'the state' doing everything in their power to keep 'the truth' from getting out to 'the masses.' From this Natural News story before we continue.:
The federal government was not happy when licensed drone operator Davin Phelps tried to film the suspected origin of the so-called "wildfires" that burned down Lahaina and other nearby spots on the Hawaiian island of Maui.
According to Fox News host Will Cain, who relayed the bizarre story, Phelps' drone was grounded by force as it neared the target site. Not long after that, federal agents paid Phelps a visit to have a talk about the matter.
During this meeting, federal agents reportedly told Phelps that he is prohibited from filming the area where the Maui Fire is believed to have started. Phelps was still able to capture some footage before this, though, which he shared with Cain.
That footage shows entire buildings across entire city blocks reduced to gray ash while the trees surrounding them remain intact. This, many believe, serves as evidence that "wildfires" are not to blame, but rather directed energy weapons (DEWs).
Phelps also shared with Cain numerous still images that he captured, which show other strange anomalies that point to this disaster being another false flag incident possibly perpetrated by the government itself.
"I don't want to feed ridiculous conspiracies, but all I can do is tell you the truth," Cain wrote in a series of posts on X, formerly known as Twitter – check out some of the pictures and video footage below. (See the bottom of this story for that video footage.)
"I just spoke to a videographer from Lahaina. Davin Phelps. He's a licensed drone pilot. He's been flying over Lahaina for the past week. And he has stunning and haunting images of Lahaina."
ANP Emergency Fundraiser: The globalists war on ANP is all part of the globalists 'Big Tech' effort to silence conservative and independent voices, allowing them to maintain a monopoly on the flow of information. As George Orwell made clear to us decades ago, "The further a society drifts from the truth, the more they will hate those who speak it." But, with your amazing help, we at ANP promise to keep 'speaking truth to power' because, as Orwell also reminded us, "If liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."
And with all of these wildfires happening at the very same time as one US food processing plant after another is being somehow destroyed, with the American Plant Food Corporation in Bartlett, Texas recently burning to the ground, and that following a seemingly endless list of food processing plants being destroyed as we've reported in numerous different stories on ANP, is it really out of the question that what we're now witnessing unfolding before our eyes is the intentional 'destruction' of America?
And now we learn that a massive fire recently broke out at one of the largest oil refineries in the US this past Friday, with a fire breaking out at the Marathon Petroleum’s Garyville refinery in Louisiana. And while the fire was extinguished by Monday morning, the refinery remained closed with the shutdown leading to a surge in 'future prices' for both gasoline and diesel fuel.
As Susan Duclos had reported in this March 25th story on ANP titled "The Perfect Storm Hits Our Food Supply Chain - The Odds Of These Listed Events All Happening In This Short Time Frame Are Astronomical.... It Is By Design," the odds of ALL of the different events listed below happening during the same time period, coincidentally, are astronomical.:
Between bird flu killing off tens of millions of chickens and egg laying hens, along with the unbelievable amount of food processing plants, processing plants and factories destroyed by explosions, fires and even a couple of airplanes crashing into them, mixed with plant viruses, drought and a number of other issues all affecting America's food supply, and now see that ports all across the U.S. are reporting unprecedented levels of cargo theft, led by consumables, the past few years have not been good for our food supply chain.
In 2020: The lockdowns upended up the entire food supply chain, with restaurant and school closures causing a lack of demand, forcing farmers and ranchers to dump food, kill crops, and euthanize animals.
In 2021 and 2022, we saw more than a 100 incidents of food facilities, including mass kill offs of chickens.
Also in 2022 and 2023 the war between Russia and Ukraine caused wheat and fertilizer shortages, hiking the price of bread, and forcing farmers into an untenable position of smaller crops.
In 2022 and 2023 we saw plant viruses affecting lettuce, weather events affecting orange crops, drought condition causing farmers and ranchers to yet again destroy crops and sell off cattle before calving.
On top of all that, food inflation has continued to rise with no real end in sight.
What are the odds of all of that happening, in the course of a three year period, coincidentally? While the exact number is unknown, I would say those odds are astronomical.
We'll leave that for readers to discuss in the comment section.
Yet as we've also reported numerous times on ANP over the last 8+ years, for America to reach the 'forecast' by the Deagel Report of us quite literally transformed into a '3rd world nation' by the year 2025, a 'whole lot of destruction' was going to need to take place, all at once. The excerpt below came from this December 18th of 2018 story on ANP titled "If These Numbers From A Deep State Sourced Website Are Correct, America Will Be A 3rd World Nation By 2025 - Deagel's Forecast Suggests The Depopulation End Game Has Arrived."
As we've reported numerous times on ANP, the website Deagel is forecasting the population of the USA to drop from 326+ million in 2017 to only 99,553,100 people in 2025, a drop of more than 226 million people. And we can't help but keep coming back to the horrific economic numbers they're also forecasting for the US by 2025, numbers that make America look like we'll be a 3rd world nation in less than 7 years if Deagel's numbers are somehow correct.
So let's take a look at the bizarre numbers for America being forecast by Deagel. Besides the most startling numbers that jump out for the US population, being forecast to 'shed' 226 million people in less than 7 years, the stunning economic numbers include a forecast of the US's gross domestic product to drop from $19 trillion in 2017 to ONLY $2.4 trillion in 2025. With the GDP per capita expected to drop from $59,274 in 2017 to only $24,561 in 2025 and our 'purchase power parity' (PPP) expected to drop from $59,500 in 2017 to only $16,374 in 2025, America will be a broken nation by then if Deagel is correct. In comparison, the PPP of Venezuela is forecast to be $12,400 in 2025, a jump up from their PPP of only $9,132 in 2017, when the Venezuelan people were starving, eating cats, dogs and zoo animals for their next meals.
And how in the world is Deagel forecasting our 2025 military budget to be only $32 billion in 2025 when it was a whopping $637 billion in 2017? If Deagel is correct, America will be a 3rd world nation by 2025.
And as we have also reported numerous times over the years on ANP, the sources for the Deagel Report's information and forecasts has quite literally been 'the deep state,' with their sources including the US Department of State, the US Department of Defense, the CIA, the World Bank, the European Union as well as the US Army, US Navy, US Air Force and US Marines among them. And as we'd reported in this August 7th story on ANP, Deagel's sources also included the Rockefeller Foundation.
So while all of this mega-destruction across America and Western Civilization might seem bizarre and out of the ordinary, as Rob Pue of Wisconsin Christian News had reported in this recent story that we republished at ANP, for joe biden and the globalists to 'build back better' as they've labeled their 'plan' to transform America, they'd first have to 'tear things down'.
And with all kinds of reports out from local Hawaiians that they had resisted selling their Lahaina properties in mass numbers to 'the global elite,' and now reports that these 'wildfires' quite precisely burnt out most of those poorer properties while leaving many of the 'high end homes' untouched, would you put it past the globalists carrying out 'directed energy weapon' warfare upon those who wouldn't sell their homes, in order for the globalists to replace them with their '15-minute cities?' Neither would we.
And what in the world has happened to all of those missing children in Maui? With reports of over 2,400 kids MISSING, and what appears to be a HUGE ongoing cover-up at the very highest levels in process, Americans need some very serious answers for us ever to be able to trust 'government' again.
And with reports also that the only paved road out of Lahaina was incredibly suspiciously blocked by a barricade just adding to all of the questions that need very serious answers, along with reports that emergency management services just happened to be attending a 'conference' in Honolulu and NOT ONLY did the fire department NOT respond to the fires, but that fire boats stationed at Pearl Harbor could have saved much of the town, but they never moved, leaving citizens of Lahaina fighting the fires themselves, why did city officials then TURN OFF THE WATER that people could have used at least to try to fight this entire mess? There's no doubt that something stinks to the high heavens about not only what happened to Maui but ALL of these fires across America, Canada and Europe and the destruction of our infrastructure playing out before our eyes over the past 3 years, ever since joe biden got into office.
So while the globalists are still trying to blame all of these wildfires on 'climate change' and 'global warming,' can they also blame all of the food processing plants that have been destroyed over the past 3+ years on the same? And with a very obvious cover up of a grand design being carried out in front of our eyes, will the people of Maui, Hawaii and America EVER get any real answers to all of these conflagrations, or will we still be fed the endless lies that this is all due to 'climate change' and 'global warming'? We certainly wouldn't advise anyone to hold their breaths waiting for any answers.

US Attacks Syrian Arab Army Checkpoint
World Hal Turner 02 September 2023 Hits: 11135
The armed forces of the United States have directly attacked a Checkpoint of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), near the Iraq border.
The Americans claim they were going after "terrorists" but hit the regular Syria Army in error. Few believe this explanation; least of whom is Russia.
The Russian army has told the American army "Do not make an error like this again because if you do, we will not make any "error" when we defend Syria from such attacks."
The American strike took place at a checkpoint near Abu Kamal, by the Syria border with Iraq as shown on the map below:
There has been greatly stepped-up military activity in this area of Syria recently.
For years, both the US and Turkey have asked that Dier Ezor and Idlib be spared from Russian attacks, because American and Turkish "assets" are basically trapped in that area, since Russia smashed ISIS several years ago. Russia honored the American and Turkish requests . . . until last week.
Suddenly, both Russia and Syria began pounding Dier Exor and the Idlib area in particular. Very many foreign "fighters" have been killed by the Russian strikes, to the chagrin of the US and Turkey.
It is clear that Russia did these strikes because it is in (and from) this region that ongoing troubles for the legitimate Syrian government, are being fomented, planned, and carried out. Syria is tired of it and so are the Russians, who came to Syria's rescue several years ago.
The Ukraine situation is also related to the latest strikes by Russia inside Syria.
The US and its NATO vassals have been making life miserable for Russia inside Ukraine; now Russia is making US/NATO life miserable inside Syria.
BIG CHANGES COMING
Friday-night into Saturday, the Hal Turner Radio Show came into possession of information about a very sudden, and significant deployment of US military aircraft mechanics to Iraq. THe first batch of Helicopter mechanics will deploy within the next two weeks, and a VERY large number of additional aircraft mechanics will follow later in September.
Clearly the US is upping its presence in Iraq, near Syria, and many observers are wondering if the US and Russia will face-off inside Syria soon?
Syria has repeatedly told the US to remove its forces, and the US refuses. The US does not have permission from the Syrian government to be in the country, nor does the US have any mandate from the United Nations.
One allegation against the US that keeps coming up is the ongoing THEFT of Syrian Oil under the watchful eye and protection of US troops in Syria. Syrian oil fields are under American control and at least $30 million a month in Syrian oil is being stolen, smuggled on tanker trucks into Iraq, shipped to Turkey for slight refining and repackaging, then sold on the open market. No one knows where all the money is going but it is suggested by some that high ranking US and Turkish officials-including military bosses - are stealing that money.
At least twice, Russia has intentionally bombed the oil storage depots where the Americans are grabbing the oil, but they rebuild those depots and resume the theft.
It seems that with Russia now pounding Dier Ezor and Idlib, things in Syria may be coming to a head. If the Syrians and Russians want US forces out, there will be no better time to do that than in the next couple weeks. Perhaps that is why the US is now deploying more forces and resources into Iraq?
Next battlefield: Syria? Stay tuned.

Chinese owners of planned Michigan EV plant make staff in the Communist state pledge allegiance to the Party and wear Red Army uniforms on bizarre field trips in China
Gotion Inc is developing a taxpayer-subsidized $2.4 billion electric vehicle battery facility in Michigan
Its Chinese parent company Gotian High-Tech took staff on several corporate retreats to CCP revolutionary memorials in 2021
During the trips workers wore Red Army outfits and pledged to 'fight for communism to the end of my life'
By Alice Wright For Dailymail.Com Updated: 18:23 EDT, 1 September 2023
The Chinese owners of a company developing a taxpayer-subsidized $2.4 billion electric vehicle battery facility in Michigan make staff pledge allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party and wear Red Army uniforms, reports suggest.
Gotian High-Tech the Chinese parent company of Gotion Inc took staff on several corporate retreats to CCP revolutionary memorials in Anhui Province, China in 2021, the Daily Caller reported.
During the trips workers wore Red Army outfits and pledged to 'fight for communism to the end of my life' footage posted on the Chinese battery manufacturer's website shows.
It comes amid rising concerns surrounding Chinese investment in US industries and increased fears Communist spies are infiltrating top businesses and educational institutions.
Gotion Inc, the California-based company which is 'wholly owned and controlled' by Gotion High-Tech, according to a Foreign Agents Registration Act filing.
The US-based company plans to 'invest $2.4 billion to construct two 550,000-square-foot production plants' for electric vehicle (EV) batteries in Big Rapids, Michigan, Fox News reported.
During a two-day trip to Anhui Province in July 2021 fifty employees wore matching Red Army uniforms and hiked for six miles across mountainous terrain, according to the Daily Caller.
The following day, Gotion High-Tech’s field trip visited the Revolutionary Memorial Hall in Huoshan County, where employees pledged the oath of the CCP, the outlet said.
'I volunteer to join the CCP, uphold the Party’s platform, observe the provisions of the Party’s by-laws, carry out a member’s duties, carry out the Party’s decisions, strictly observe the Party’s discipline, be loyal to the Party, work hard, to fight for communism as long as I live, be ready at all times to sacrifice everything for the Party and people, and never betray the Party' the workers chanted in unearthed footage.
A second trip took place a month later with the company taking employees to Dabie Mountain in Anhui province, in an homage to the CCP’s Long March, the Daily Caller stated.
During the second trip employees were taught Red Army songs are wore the matching uniforms.
Michigan residents have spoken out against the construction of the planned EV plant.
Unrest has surfaced in Green Charter Township near where Gotian has purchased a swathe of land in the Big Rapids area for its planned factory.
Community members in Green Charter, the small community where the plant is poised to reside, are issuing concerns over its connection to China.
Days after feds said they don't have the proper jurisdiction to review the plant's constriction, local lawmakers also got involved, and urged officials like the governor and senate to put a stop to the plant's construction to avoid a potential crisis.
'We're not stupid,' Green Charter resident Ormand Hook is heard telling NewsNation in a clip set to air Sunday outlining the occurrence - which the latest instance of Chinese firms purchasing acres of American land often minutes away from military installations.
'We're here, but we're not stupid,' the farmer added, while flanked by members of his family.
When asked whether he thought his town was targeted for the planned EV plant due to its out-of-the way nature and rustic residents, Hook emphatically answered: 'Yes.'
In another snippet, Corrie Riebow, another person living in the small, somewhat suburban town an hour's drive from Grand Rapids just off Route 131, was similarly asked: 'Why here?'
She replied: 'I don't know; but somebody must be benefiting. We won't be,' she added, 'but somebody is.'
Others in recent weeks have aired similar grievances, with many pointing out how close the battery plant will be to the Michigan Army National Guard base in Big Rapids, only a few minutes south.

Police State and Surveillance Industrial Complex Test Out Drone Monitoring of the Masses in NYC for Labor Day
Creeping tyranny is ramping up quickly. Unfortunately, most don't see it and many of those who do see it have accepted that they can't stop it.
JD Rucker Sep 2, 2023
Do NOT downplay this news just because very few in conservative and alternative media are talking about it yet. My search through over 250 sites on my feed revealed only Reclaim The Net (article below), Inforwars, and Zero Hedge have mentioned it. Oddly, corporate media is talking about it profusely and framing it in a positive light. I'm hopeful more conservative and alternative media will pick it up over the weekend.
Surveillance drones are being deployed by the New York City Police Department over Labor Day weekend to monitor "large gatherings" of people in their own backyards. That statement alone should send chills down all of our spines but I imagine most will just shake our head because news like this is no longer shocking. But our complacency is misplaced; they are normalizing the police state before our eyes.
This goes far beyond crime prevention, especially in a city that ignores actual crimes and releases violent criminals incessantly. If this was happening in Provo, Utah, or Great Falls, Montana, I'd mark it down as an overzealous police force forgetting our right to privacy. After all, drone technology offers benefits for fighting real crime when applied right. But this is New York City where crimes go unpunished. That tells us this is a move to do two very important things for the Globalist Elite Cabal's agenda.
First, this is part of the aforementioned normalization of the police state. They want us to expect Big Brother to be there, just barely out of reach, so even the most freedom-loving among us start to accept that we're always being watched. Just as many patriotic Americans masked up on their way to get jabbed even though they didn't really want to do either, so too will many Americans reluctantly accept this type of surveillance if they're exposed to it enough.
In other words, this move and similar ones like it are shifting the Overton Window so things that were anathema in the recent past will be expected and even accepted in the near future.
The second thing this does for the Globalist Elite Cabal is act as a test run for totalitarian measures. We are experiencing creeping tyranny in the United States, but soon it will no longer be creeping. They are accelerating their plans and imposing more dystopian policies on us every day. Some of it makes the news. Most of it does not. This is why I put so much effort into managing news aggregators like The Liberty Daily and Discern Report. I can't write every story, but thankfully there are others out there writing about important topics already.
Here is the article from Reclaim The Net with some of the details. Let's get this information out to our friends and family. The news about the drones is bad enough, but the bigger story to me is that so few are speaking out against it.

Hurricane Idalia makes landfall in Florida as Category 3 storm, brings damage: Live updates
Storm surge damage from the powerful hurricane could stretch about 200 miles along Florida’s west coast.
More on Hurricane Idalia
Idalia made landfall in Florida's Big Bend near Keaton Beach just before 8 a.m. ET., with maximum sustained winds of 125 mph.
The storm has flooded streets, closed airports canceled flights, along with causing widespread power outages.
Idalia is now a tropical storm, after briefly reaching Category 4 overnight.
Storm surge warnings and watches have been discontinued for Florida. The hurricane watches for Georgia and South Carolina have been changed to tropical storm warnings.
NBC News has a team on the ground reporting on the hurricane's impact.
Idalia downgraded to a tropical storm
Doha Madani
Idalia has slowed down significantly since making landfall this morning and has been downgraded to a tropical storm, with sustained wind speeds lower than 70 mph.
The storm system was 40 miles west of Savannah, Georgia, at 5 p.m. ET, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Storm surge warnings and watches have been discontinued for Florida.
The hurricane watches for Georgia and South Carolina have been changed to tropical storm warnings.
Idalia should be a 'wake-up call' for Tampa, scientist says
Denise Chow
Tampa avoided a direct hit from Idalia, but the impacts from the hurricane’s wind and rain show how vulnerable the entire region is to major storms, according to Jeff Masters, a former hurricane scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Preliminary estimates suggest much of the area around Tampa experienced 3 to 4 feet of surge, with the National Hurricane Center forecasting that some areas could see up to 5 feet of storm surge.
Those figures would be among the highest storm surges on record for Tampa Bay going back to 1940, said Masters, who now works as a meteorologist for Yale Climate Connections.
“That’s a big deal, and there’s going to be considerable damage in that heavily populated area,” he said. “They’re seeing just what storm surge can do even though it missed by more than 100 miles. That should definitely be a wake-up call for Tampa Bay.”
Minyvonne Burke
Some Florida Gulf Coast residents who chose to ride out Hurricane Idalia at home were forced to “swim out of their windows” to escape waves of water crashing through their front doors early this morning.
In Crystal River, the powerful Category 3 hurricane left a trail of destruction behind, including toppled trees and homes and buildings almost completely underwater.
Brenda and Phil Henley, who live in Crystal River and chose not to evacuate, told MSNBC’s José Díaz-Balart that some people had to swim to safety.
“Swimming out of their windows, literally, from their homes,” Phil Henley said, adding that the water moved in fast.
Citrus County, where Crystal River is located, was under a mandatory evacuation order for all low-lying areas west of U.S. Highway 19. The Henleys chose to ride out the storm at home but left once the water started coming.
“I said we got to get out of here because we’re fixing to get flooded out,” he said.

‘Made Me Feel Worthless’: Hospital Reportedly Offers Euthanasia to Patient Suffering From Suicidal Thoughts
By Tré Goins-Phillips
Editor
August 28, 2023
A woman who sought safe haven at a hospital in Canada is claiming the medical staff offered her physician-assisted suicide after she disclosed her struggle with suicidal ideation.
The interaction, she said, left her feeling “worthless.”
Kathrin Mentler, 37, told The Christian Institute she went to Vancouver General Hospital’s Access and Assessment Centre in June, in hopes of finding protection from her intrusive suicidal thoughts.
She was promptly informed by hospital staff there were no beds available for her and she should expect an extended wait before being seen by a psychiatrist in an outpatient capacity. Soon thereafter, a clinician asked Mentler if she had considered the country’s euthanasia program, MAID, which stands for “Medical Assistance in Dying.”
The hospital employee, the woman claimed, told her about experiencing “relief” in the wake of the death of another patient struggling with mental illness and suicidal ideation.
“That made me feel like my life was worthless or a problem that could be solved if I chose MAID,” said Mentler, later noting she fights against the suicidal thoughts she has and is committed to continuing her life. “I live with chronic suicidal thoughts but that doesn’t mean I never feel joy in my life.”
In a statement to The Christian Institute, the Vancouver hospital apologized “for any distress caused” by the clinician’s suggestion to Mentler. The medical center further claimed the option of euthanasia was presented as a way to determine whether the woman was at risk of self-harm.
Mentler, though, isn’t convinced that’s the truth.
“MAID for mental health is not legal yet,” she explained, “so giving someone the specifics of the process seems wrong. How can this be standard procedure for suicide crisis intervention?”
In 2022, the Canadian government expanded its MAID program to include non-life-threatening physical disabilities. The program was expected to extend to people suffering with mental disabilities — such as severe depression — but that has been temporarily delayed until 2024, according to CBC News.
“It is clear more time is needed to get this right,” said Justice Minister David Lametti. “The proposed one-year expansion is necessary to ensure that we move forward on this sensitive and complex issue in a prudent and measured way.”

Iran boasts new submarines, demands US leave Syria - analysis
Tehran’s comments appear to be a warning to the US that Iran could encourage proxy groups to continue to target Americans in Syria.
By SETH J. FRANTZMAN Published: AUGUST 28, 2023 15:16 Updated: AUGUST 28, 2023 17:59
A new generation of Ghadir midget submarines and Fateh submarines will be made for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ navy, Iran said Monday.
Tehran also slammed the “illegal presence of the US in Syria” in statements by Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani on Monday at a weekly briefing.
Iran made many comments about the Mideast region. It boasted of working on improving ties with Bahrain and Egypt and slammed continued US sanctions.

At least two dead as ‘unprecedented’ 450 wildfires scorch Louisiana
By Melissa Koenig
August 29, 2023 10:25am UpdatedAt least two people have died in “unprecedented” wildfires that have ravaged Louisiana in recent weeks.
An elderly woman was pronounced dead Sunday after a brushfire spread to a shed in St. Tammany Parish, just north of New Orleans, and earlier this month, a man died in Franklinton when his home and surrounding property caught fire.
The blazes were just two of more than 450 wildfires that have scorched thousands of acres in southwest Louisiana in recent weeks during record-breaking temperatures and severe drought conditions.
“Wildfires this many and of this intensity are unprecedented,” Mike Strain, commissioner of the Louisiana Agriculture and Forestry Department, told the Washington Post.
On average, the state deals with a total of 771 wildfires each year, or about two a day, data from the department shows.
But over the past few weeks, the state has been averaging 21 wildfires each day, and a state of emergency has been declared in 17 of the state’s 64 parishes.
“With this kind of heat, the low humidity and the lack of rainfall, this is probably the driest conditions, the most drought-prone conditions we’ve had in a generation,” Strain said.
Temperatures over the weekend broke all-time records in multiple communities across Louisiana, with the New Orleans International Airport recording 105 degrees on Sunday — the highest temp ever recorded there.
The Agriculture and Forestry Department recorded 14 different wildfires breaking out in less than 10 minutes Sunday to the north and west of New Orleans, as the Tiger Island fire in Beauregard Parish became the largest in state history.
It grew from 15,000 acres to more than 33,000 acres (52 square miles) between Friday and Saturday and forced mandatory evacuations, state officials said.
The massive blaze is still just 50 percent contained, as the Louisiana National Guard and local firefighters work to extinguish the fires.
Crews have also been brought in from Texas, Florida and Oklahoma.
In total, the area that has been burned in Beauregard Parish, from both the Tiger Island fire and the Longville fire, has surpassed 50,000 acres (78 square miles).
“The fields are just so dry, so the grass is really dry, and the bushes are really dry,” said Danielle Manning, the lead meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in New Orleans. “Everything ignites a lot easier when we’re in this kind of drought.”
According to the US Drought Monitor, nearly 77 percent of Louisiana is experiencing severe drought conditions — affecting about 4.2 million residents.
At the same time, wildfires that scorched parts of Rapides Parish on Thursday were intentionally set, officials said.
The situation is only expected to worsen, as predicted scattered storms with cloud-to-ground lightning and strong winds could fuel the flames and even change the direction of the fire spread, experts said.
Winds from Hurricane Idalia could also cause further fire spread midweek, as the relative humidity drops.
Little or no rainfall is expected in Louisiana from that storm.
“We are in this fight for the long haul,” Strain said. “We expect this fight to continue until we get significant rainfall.”

Some Parts Of America Are Already On The Verge Of Being Ungovernable As Rampant Lawlessness Spreads Like Wildfire
August 13, 2023 by Michael
In order for a civilized society to function, most people have to willingly follow the rules of that society. If that happens, law enforcement authorities can deal with the few that choose to be lawless. For generations, that is how things worked in America. There was a high standard of morality among the general population, and so the police were able to successfully handle the few bad apples that insisted on breaking the law. But now everything has changed. As a result of decades of extreme moral decay, lawlessness is rampant and there are vast multitudes of young people that openly flaunt the rules of our society. In fact, there are already some areas of the country that are literally on the verge of being ungovernable.
A perfect example of what I am talking about happened in southern California on Saturday.
Dozens of lawless young thieves systematically looted the Nordstrom store at the Westfield Topanga mall, and they were able to get away with tens of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise…
Shoppers at the Westfield Topanga mall in Canoga Park were in for quite a shock when dozens of thieves ransacked the Nordstrom inside the mall on Saturday, Aug. 12, smashing displays and stealing an estimated $60,000- $100,000 worth of merchandise, authorities said.
The Los Angeles Police Department responded to the mall at around 4 p.m. after hearing reports that between 20 and 50 people ran through the Nordstrom grabbing merchandise, leaving some on the ground and taking armfuls with them.
When I was growing up, this sort of thing simply did not happen.
But now we are seeing mobs of looters go haywire all over the nation on a regular basis.
This heist was obviously well coordinated, and not one of the thieves even showed a shred of remorse. Apparently these young people are not exactly languishing in poverty, because a BMW and a Lexus were among the getaway vehicles that they used…
After grabbing between $60,000 and $100,000 worth of goods, the crew fled in several cars including a BMW and a Lexus, cops said.
At least one guard was doused with bear spray — which causes violent eye and respiratory irritation in humans. The guard was treated by paramedics.
How are we supposed to respond to this?
As I stated earlier, we are seeing robberies of this nature so often now.
Several days earlier, dozens of young people looted the Yves Saint Laurent store in Glendale…
Earlier this week a high-end designer store in Glendale, California was looted by dozens of people in another flash mob burglary on Tuesday.
At least 30 suspects “flooded” the Yves Saint Laurent store in The Americana at Brand Tuesday afternoon and stole clothing and other merchandise before fleeing on foot and leaving the location in numerous vehicles, said police in a statement.
The total loss is estimated to be approximately $300,000.
Some people attempt to downplay the severity of these crimes by saying that these big corporate retailers can afford the losses they are experiencing.
No, they can’t.
Overall, U.S. retailers will lose more than 100 billion dollars due to theft this year alone.
This has become a major national crisis, and as J. Lee Grady has aptly pointed out, we truly have become “the land of the free-for-all”…
You’ve probably seen the videos of thieves filling trash bags with stolen merchandise from CVS or walking out of Home Depot or Wal-Mart with armloads of tools, laptops, detergent and athletic shoes they didn’t pay for. We used to call this shoplifting, and it was a crime. Today, it’s known as “inventory shrinkage”—and it costs retailers billions of dollars in losses. But many soft-on-crime politicians are treating criminals like victims and allowing the crime wave to grow.
Some retailers are locking items behind glass cases, but that hasn’t stopped brazen criminals who just smash and grab. Other retailers actually warn employees not to try to stop thieves—and they will even fire an employee for confronting a shoplifter. Welcome to the USA in 2023: We were once known as the land of the free; now we are the land of the free-for-all, where criminals can take whatever they want from store shelves knowing that no one will stop them.
A lot of of this theft is being fueled by the worst drug crisis in the entire history of our nation.
Today, vast stretches of the city of Los Angeles have been transformed into giant homeless encampments that are filled with “zombie-like residents smoking drugs”…
Shocking new photos lay bear the devastating homeless crisis tormenting downtown LA – where filthy ramshackle tent cities are plagued by zombie-like residents smoking drugs, while others hawk stolen goods on street corners.
There are currently an estimated 42,260 people sleeping rough in the City of Angels – a startling 10 percent rise compared to just last year, Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority reported.
Just this week, it emerged that the city had resorted to sending mobile teams with oxygen cylinders to Skid Row in a desperate bid to prevent overdoses amid its crippling opioid crisis.
The same thing is happening in San Francisco.
In fact, conditions have become so dangerous in downtown San Francisco that federal employees that work at “the Nancy Pelosi Federal Building” are being told to work from home for the foreseeable future…
Officials at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services advised hundreds of employees in San Francisco to work remotely for the foreseeable future due to public safety concerns outside the Nancy Pelosi Federal Building on Seventh Street.
The imposing, 18-story tower on the corner of Seventh and Mission streets houses various federal agencies, including HHS, the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Department of Transportation and the office of Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi. The area is also home to one of the city’s most brazen open-air drug markets, where dozens of dealers and users congregate on a daily basis.
I find it perfectly fitting that “one of the city’s most brazen open-air drug markets” is operating right outside of a giant office tower named for Nancy Pelosi.
Politicians such as Pelosi have been making horrendously bad decisions for decades, and that has been a major factor in getting us to this point.
We are truly reaping what we have sown, and what we are currently experiencing is just the beginning.
Eventually, conditions will deteriorate so dramatically in our core urban areas that our leaders will be forced to implement extreme measures in a desperate attempt to restore order.
But ultimately you can’t govern vast numbers of people that have no intention of being governed.
The fabric of our society really is coming apart at the seams, and we are going to see things happen in the years ahead that will completely shock all of us.

The Magical Rainbow Flag
By Rob Pue
Complimentary StoryOn June 17th, Capitol Square in Madison, Wisconsin was packed with people. It was the usual crowd shopping at the Farmer’s Market, but those shoppers were overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of people who came to watch — or participate in — the annual “Naked Bike Ride.”
You heard me right, and this was the 13th Annual Naked Bike Ride around the Capitol Square. Most of the bike riders were completely nude, though many were decorated with body paint, and of course, the “Rainbow Flag” was prominent as well. I’ve always just shaken my head at this annual event, assuming it was just another perversion that could only happen in the reprobate city of Madison, home of the “Freedom From Religion Foundation.”
But this year, I learned that this event is world-wide and has been going on since 2001...but only came to Wisconsin 13 years ago. The first Naked Bike Ride took place in Spain that year. By 2004, there were Naked Bike Rides in 28 cities in ten countries. Just six years later, the event boasted 74 cities in 17 countries. Today, there are Naked Bike Rides in every US state. It turns out that Madison, Wisconsin is “small potatoes” compared to some of the others. Madison only had 150 or so riding their bikes naked around the state capitol building. In Portland, there were more than 10,000. Their stated purpose for these rides is to “support a positive body image;” (In other words, “pride”) as well as to “lessen our dependence on fossil fuels.” (Gimme a break!)
How can this be allowed? What about laws against “indecent exposure,” public nudity or “lewd and lascivious behavior?” Every state has different laws regarding these things. In California, for instance, public nudity hasn’t been considered a crime since 2000. But even where “indecent exposure” laws are on the books, enforcement of those laws is very lax.
I remember in the 1970s, when “streaking” was popular in some places. People laughed it off. Ray Stevens even did a comedic song about it in 1974. But what may have started as a “joke” is no laughing matter anymore. Today, those that take part in these very public events have an agenda, and it has little to do with supporting a positive body image, and only the most ignorant, “woke” college-educated Ph.D.s or public school teachers believe it has anything at all to do with “climate change” due to fossil fuels.
Now, I would imagine, if I were to go to my local county courthouse, remove all of clothes and ride around the building on my bike, I’d likely be stopped by law enforcement and very likely taken to a mental health facility for observation and evaluation, which is what should happen. I may even be given a citation for indecent exposure. BUT, if I were to do so carrying a rainbow flag, none of that would happen.
You see, the rainbow flag is magical — it automatically erases all laws on the books. Likewise, if any normal person were to expose themselves during a Fourth of July parade or festival, there would be some sort of negative consequences — unless they were holding that magical rainbow flag. Then, it’s all ok. And if a man were to dress up like a woman and go to a city park, and begin dancing, nearly naked, in front of little children, not so long ago, that man would have been charged with serious crimes and likely earn the life-long status as a “sex offender.” But not if he’s got the flag!
What a magical thing that rainbow flag has become. It even allows pornography to be handed out in schools and public libraries to little kids. It even allows young children to be mentally abused and physically mutilated — legally, by so-called “doctors,” for profit.
It even forces those who are unwilling to participate in the sodomite agenda or activities to do so, or face millions in legal fees and years in prison, in order to continue doing business — as a baker, photographer, graphic designer, website builder or wedding venue host. What an amazing tool this rainbow flag has become! It nullifies all laws on the books; it suspends all constitutional rights of those who oppose it and it gives a free pass for perverted men and women to do as they please, not only indulging their own personal perversions in public, but also forcing the rest of society to celebrate these abominations as well.
But in most places in America, you still really can’t get away with any of these things — without that rainbow flag. Imagine a police officer encountering a pedophile who is actively seducing and twisting the minds of young children in a public place. Regardless of whether or not the child’s parents were present, if this were taking place, the pedophile would be on his way to jail. But not if he’s got a rainbow flag. That magical thing stops law enforcement dead in their tracks.
Recently, we’ve heard a great deal about child sex trafficking and record numbers of people being prosecuted for having child porn on their computers and phones. And they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. In my opinion, if you harm a child, there’s no penalty sufficient enough for you — with the exception of the millstone you’ve earned yourself.
Jesus made it quite clear when He said, “it would be better for that person to have a millstone tied around his neck and he be cast into the depths of the sea.” “Such intolerance and bigotry” from our Savior, some will say. Well, Jesus took this much more seriously than we do. Deep sea divers will tell you what happens to the human body when you go too deep too quickly. Your eyes, lungs and internal organs implode because of the pressure. So when Jesus spoke of the millstone and being cast into the depths of the sea, He didn’t simply mean the person would drown. And His listeners knew exactly what that meant too. Harming a child deserves the harshest of penalties.
But the LGBTQP+ movement has become so strong, so powerful, and so all-encompassing, that it is now preying openly on young children. Last year, even Taco Bell held a series of Drag Queen Dance Party Brunches at some of their restaurants around the country. This evil, twisted sickness has gone mainstream.
“Pride” parades and festivals have grown in popularity nationwide very quickly over the past few years. From coast to coast, in big cities and (and now especially in small towns), the sin of Sodom is presented as “family- and child-friendly.” Nevermind the fact that sodomite sex is simulated by nearly-naked or completely naked men on the streets and on parade floats, in full view of children from babies through college-age kids. That rainbow flag is there, so it’s all “ok.”
They’re no longer even trying to hide the fact that they’re coming for our children. Two years ago, the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus released a video, which is still on YouTube called “We’ll Convert Your Children.” At the New York City Pride Parade this past June, the mob in the parade chanted, “We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children!” And of course, the good old Target stores are also increasingly targeting children in their marketing and sale of homosexual and “transgender” clothing and accessories, designed exclusively for young kids.
While it sickens me to do this, I’m going to quote for you now, excerpts from “The Homosexual Manifesto,” written by Michael Swift, and entered into the Congressional Record in 1987...
“We shall sodomize your sons, emblems of your feeble masculinity, of your shallow dreams and vulgar lies. We shall seduce them in your schools, in your dormitories, in your gymnasiums, in your locker rooms, in your sports arenas, in your seminaries, in your youth groups, in your movie theater bathrooms, in your army bunkhouses, in your truck stops, in your all male clubs, in your houses of Congress, wherever men are with men together. Your sons shall become our minions and do our bidding. They will be recast in our image. They will come to crave and adore us.
“Women, you cry for freedom. You say you are no longer satisfied with men; they make you unhappy. We, connoisseurs of the masculine face, the masculine physique, shall take your men from you then. We will amuse them; we will instruct them; we will embrace them when they weep. Women, you say you wish to live with each other instead of with men. Then go and be with each other....All laws banning homosexual activity will be revoked. Instead, legislation shall be passed which engenders love between men. All homosexuals must stand together as brothers; we must be united artistically, philosophically, socially, politically and financially...we will stab you in your cowardly hearts and defile your dead, puny bodies.
“We will unmask the powerful homosexuals who masquerade as heterosexuals. You will be shocked and frightened when you find that your presidents and their sons, your industrialists, your senators, your mayors, your generals, your athletes, your film stars, your television personalities, your civic leaders, your priests are not the safe, familiar, bourgeois, heterosexual figures you assumed them to be. We are everywhere; we have infiltrated your ranks...Those who oppose us will be exiled. We shall raise vast private armies, to defeat you...The family unit will be abolished...All churches who condemn us will be closed...For us too much is not enough.”
These are just excerpts from this Manifesto, but you can find the entire thing online if you choose. Suffice to say, the vulgar demon of Sodom has risen, once again, and it’s stronger than ever, supported by every major corporation in the world with trillions of dollars.
The Rainbow Flag is one of conquest, and when state houses and the US Capitol building fly it, it symbolizes the LGBTQP+ mob’s complete domination and conquering of our nation. It renders all laws null and void. All must submit. If you dare defy the almighty demon of sodomy and perversion, you will be persecuted and assaulted.
True Christ-followers are, however, pushing back. Like Gideon’s army the faithful remnant is few in numbers, but there are always at least a few real Christians speaking out against this abomination. Recently, a young man in Watertown, Wisconsin, was arrested at the “pride fest” there. His crime? Standing across the street and praying. Police officers converged on him as if he were the uni-bomber. This happens to Christians whenever they attempt to push back against the sodomite demon. Because the sodomites are now the protected class, the ruling class, and the rest of us have become their slaves.
And as I said, the faithful remnant of true Christ-followers is few in number. Most so-called “Christian” churches are now embracing this deathstyle too. Entire denominations are now preaching the demonic lies of their LGBTQP+ masters. But these are not “churches,” they’re synagogues of Satan. Some of these include the United Church of Christ, the Episcopal Church, the Alliance of Baptists, the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, the American National Catholic Church, the Ecumenical Catholic Church, the Old Catholic Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the United Methodist Church, the Presbyterian Church USA, the Reformed Church in America, the Friends General Conference (Quakers) and even some in the Mennonite Church USA.
Christians who dare speak against this are often accused of trying to “legislate morality.” The truth is, they’ve learned how to legislate — and strictly enforce — immorality. Christians are often accused by sodomites of trying to shove our “religion” down their throats. But look where we are today. Just WHO is trying to shove WHAT down WHOSE throats?
The sodomite demon has conquered America, and the dumb, sleeping churches, led by hireling, cowardly “pastors” have let it happen, for the love of popularity and money — the root of all evil. The Rainbow Flag is a symbol of conquest, and it’s everywhere you look now, especially wherever children may be found. But God’s remnant remains, and the gates of hell will not prevail against His anointed. Stand firm.

Very deep and strong M7.1 earthquake hits off Bali and Lombok coasts, Indonesia – No tsunami threats
Aug 29, 2023
A strong earthquake of 7.0 magnitude struck deep in the sea north of Bali and Lombok islands in Indonesia early on Tuesday, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) said, sending residents running out of buildings.
The quake’s epicentre was 203 km (126 miles) north of Mataram, Indonesia, and very deep at 516 km below the Earth’s surface, EMSC said.
Indonesian and U.S. geological agencies pegged the magnitude at 7.1, with no threat of a tsunami.
The quake was felt just before 4 a.m. (2000 GMT) across coastal areas in Bali and Lombok and was followed by two quakes of magnitude 6.1 and 6.5, according to the Indonesian geological agency.
Guests at Bali’s Mercure Kuta Bali ran out of their rooms after feeling the tremor for a few seconds, hotel manager Suadi told Reuters by phone.
“Several guests left their rooms but were still in the hotel area,” he said, adding they have since returned and there was no damage to the building.

The Chinese Communist Party embarks in ten year project to rewrite the Bible
As part of a push to “sinicize” religion, the Chinese Communist Party has embarked on a 10-year project to rewrite the Bible and other religious texts.
In the Gospel of John, Jesus famously confronts the accusers a woman caught committing adultery, saying “let the one among you who is guiltless be the first to throw a stone at her.”
The chastened accusers slink away and Jesus says to the woman, “‘Has no one condemned you?’ ‘No one, sir,’ she replied. ‘Neither do I condemn you,’ said Jesus. ‘Go away, and from this moment sin no more.'”
Unless you’re a CCP official. Then it’s a story of a dissident challenging the authority of the state. A possible sneak preview of what a Bible with socialist characteristics might look like appeared in a Chinese university textbook in 2020. The rewritten Gospel of John excerpt ends, not with mercy, but with Jesus himself stoning the adulterous woman to death.
Across Henan province, local CCP officials forced Protestant churches to replace the Ten Commandments with Xi Jinping quotes. “Thou shalt have no other gods before Me,” became diktats like: “Resolutely guard against the infiltration of Western ideology.”
The 10-year project to rewrite the Bible, Quran, and other sacred texts is all part of Xi Jinping’s quest to make the faithful serve the party rather than God.
At the 19th Party Congress, Chairman Xi declared “We will… insist on the sinicization of Chinese religions, and provide active guidance for religion and socialism to coexist.”
Let me translate: Xi Jinping has no problem with the first commandment, just so long as he and the CCP are playing the role of God. You might expect the Vatican, the leaders of the largest Christian congregation in the world, to be incensed and defiant. Unfortunately, you’d be wrong.
In a secret 2018 negotiation, the Vatican agreed to allow the CCP to select Catholic bishops in China, supposedly in exchange for vague reassurances of “safety” for some Catholic congregations which were immediately abrogated.
The CCP wants the authority to select the next Dalai Lama, a sacred tradition in Tibetan Buddhism. Tibetan Buddhists are attempting to stand up to CCP coercion, but Beijing counters that even Pope Francis, leader of the mighty Catholic Church, accepts their authority over Church leadership.

It’s Time To Sound The Alarm: The World Is Being Set Up For A Perilous Deception
By David Bowen August 25, 2023
A watchman is to see danger coming and to sound the alarm. He is to urge God’s people to live faithfully and warn them of any risks that may tempt them to take their focus off the Lord (Ezekiel 33:7).
With that said, let me ask you three questions:
How much do we desire to make life easier?
What price are we willing to pay for speed and convenience?
Should technology be a cause of concern for a watchman?
NFC Tags
Near Field Communication technology, called NFC tags for short, is being used in many daily activities, often without people realizing they have this technology at their fingertips. Anyone with a smartphone has NFC technology built in. For example, anyone who uses systems such as Apple Pay uses NFC technology. NFC tags allow technology to communicate without the need for an internet connection. Businesses have been using this technology for a while.
Kraft Foods have used NFC tags to provide instant coupons, special offers, and product information directly on their packaging. While shopping, they have made it easy to download Kraft’s iFood Assistant app and see recipes, generate shopping lists, and buy more of their products.
Designers have used NFC tags for security and to authenticate their brands. But now consumers have found that having NFC tags embedded in their clothing allows them to do tasks such as turning their phone to silent during important meetings. Arrow shirts have placed an NFC tag on the cuff, and by tapping your phone on your cuff, you can complete such tasks as sending someone your business card, changing the music on your cell phone, and sharing a Facebook link.
Nail salons are starting to embed the NFC nail tag onto customers’ nails, allowing them to have the same technology abilities at their fingertips.
Couples who want to take their wedding announcements to the next technological level now have options. Wedding invitations are now available using NFC technology, and by doing so, couples can send out wedding announcements embedded with video, audio, and pictures.
NFC technology is becoming so common you can buy a lot of NTAG215 Blank NFC Cards on Amazon or eBay. These cards store over 500 bytes of memory, are waterproof, and give you access and convenience. You can turn home systems and appliances on or off with these cards. You have instant access to event tickets, you can store personal information, and the NFC tag can be used for cashless payments.
Credit cards, smartphones, store shelves, clothing, and nail salons. What is the next innovation in wearable technology? How about the human body? The medical field has been a driving force behind this new renaissance, taking digital technology directly to the human body.
Digital Tattoos
A digital tattoo can allow medical professionals to monitor one’s blood sugar level or patient blood pressure. The University of California San Diego also has developed a “lab on the skin.” This wearable device can monitor glucose levels and things like alcohol and lactate levels. This is applied directly to the skin and sends data wirelessly to a custom smartphone app.
Taking the possibilities of the digital tattoo further, the Motorola Corporation launched the digital tattoo for its Moto X handset. The digital tattoo sticker unlocks the smartphone without the need for a password. With this development, a digital tattoo has more potential than only medical purposes. A digital tattoo can be used for both good and evil. The concern is if our culture adapts and accepts the digital tattoo for everyday activities such as buying and selling, how far of a leap will it be to the open acceptance of the Mark of the Beast!?
“The Great Narrative” a Sequel to “The Great Reset”
The World Economic Forum Founder and Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab and his co-author Thierry Malleret released their new book, The Great Narrative. The Great Narrative is phase two of the Great Reset. This book encapsulates the Davos Vision and explores how we can shape a “constructive, common narrative for the future.” The book describes how we can “create a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable future.”
Our world is putting the technology the Antichrist will use to control and dominate the world into the hands of people willing and able to develop and launch the Antichrist system.
Synthetic Biology
The World Economic Forum, in its book The Great Narrative for a Better Future, explains:
The 19th century was the century of chemistry
The 20th century was the century of physics
The 21st century will be the century of biology
In this book, written by Klaus Schwab, the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, says: “We will re-engineer biological systems. We are at the dawn of the genetic revolution. We now understand how to rewrite the genetic code” (page 102). Rewriting the genetic code is what they call synthetic biology, and they say it delivers on its promise.
AI and Warfare
Schwab explains: “Cybercrime and cyberattacks occur in the digital realm, without shots being fired or bombs being launched. This is fundamentally different from modern warfare, which is fast becoming cyber, combining deadly forces with digital capabilities” (page 100). Drones can be used for military purposes. Countries can now use this technology to protect their borders. But understand, on the evil side; drones can also be used to target the civilian population.
In March 2021, the United Nations confirmed that for the first time, military-grade autonomous drones could fly to specific locations, pick their targets, and kill without deploying any humans on the battlefield.
Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS)
According to the Great Narrative, which is phase two of the Great Reset, “The Network for Greening the Financial System is a group of 91 central banks committed to mobilizing mainstream finance to support the transition towards a sustainable economy” (page 125).
What does that mean? It means central banks will now adopt their policies around what will be considered climate-related risks. The World Economic Forum is playing around with the concept of “carbon quantitative easing,”’ meaning having central banks create a “carbon coin” and paying companies to keep carbon in the earth.
Quantitative Easing
If you remember, Quantitative Easing, or QE, was a financial strategy central banks, such as the Federal Reserve, used during the Great Recession of 2008. The Federal Reserve purchased large amounts of securities, such as mortgage-backed securities. They made these purchases by simply printing more money. When a central bank prints money, the supply of dollars increases, which could lead to inflation. From 2008 to 2014, the Federal Reserve completed three rounds of Quantitative Easing. Now central banks are committing to mobilizing again.
Morality and Values
In The Great Narrative, the World Economic Forum is saying we must reconsider the role of morality and values in our lives and re-evaluate how they (morals and values) affect our behavior and decision-making. Seriously?!
“We cannot do things the way we normally do them and must reflect on the values that guide us. This is what the idea of COVID-19: The Great Reset was premised upon: change is always painful. This requires a re-examination of the role of morality and values. How critical are they, and how can they best inform our decisions and calls for action?” (page 135)
Well, what do you think? Does synthetic biology, AI and warfare, a greener financial system, morals, and values sound like things we should be concerned about? Should we be willing to turn these areas of life over to technology for convenience or to make life easier, supposedly? There is now a movement working around the clock to install the Antichrist system, and so far, the sheep are cheering this plan on. The sheep are lining up excited to implement new technology, oblivious that the wolf is watching and ready to pounce! It’s time to sound the alarm! The world is being set up for a perilous deception.

Charisma News Brief: Church Arsonist Accidentally Lights Self on Fire
12:00PM EDT 8/28/2023 Shawn A. Akers
A man who attempted to set fire to a church in Oakland Park, Florida, accidentally lit himself ablaze, a security video has revealed.
The Broward County Sherriff's Office recently released a surveillance video that showed footage of the culprit, who walked onto the property of the Power Outreach Ministry shortly after 1:40 p.m. He walked across the church parking lot and poured a small bucket of gasoline near the church's front door and attempted to light it in two different areas.
The video footage shows that the suspect narrowly avoided burning himself the first time, but didn't escape the blaze on the second attempt. The video then revealed the suspect fleeing the scene.
Investigators are still searching for the man, who fled westbound. Broward Sherriff's Office deputies and Oakland Park Fire Rescue responded to the scene quickly, but not before the fire caused more than $1,000 damage to the church, authorities said.
"After extinguishing the fire, firefighters alerted deputies to evidence that the fie at the Power Outreach Ministry may have been intentionally set. The Oakland Park City Fire Marshal responded to the scene and determined the fire to be arson," the Broward County Sherriff's Office said in a release.

The Morning Briefing: Climate Cult Tyrants Are Still Worse Than COVID Tyrants
By Stephen Kruiser 4:10 AM on August 28, 2023
Freedom-loving Americans have had a rough go of it since the first arrival of the Wuhan Chinese Bat Flu on our shores. The Trump/Fauci alliance made things bad enough, but the tyrannical flex got really awful when Joe Biden was installed in the presidency. As we have seen in recent weeks, the COVID fetish Left is attempting to relive its glory days of oppression.
With the stink of the pandemic government heavies still lingering so strongly, the Climate Cult thugs have been hoping to keep their campaign of error and terror continuing unabated without anyone noticing. We do occasionally discuss them here in the Briefing, but it’s time to check in again.
There is, of course, a lot of overlap between the COVID tyrants and the climate tyrants. The lefties do often like to specialize, however. The climate commies have been grifting in that lane for so long that they don’t really need to pay attention to any opportunities that may come along on the COVID panic front.
John Kerry — America’s Ugliest Trophy Wife — is tasked with demonizing anyone who questions the Climate Cult orthodoxy, and Ben wrote about his latest antics:
The corporate state is intent, apparently, on ramping up its propaganda against so-called “climate deniers,” presumably to set the rhetorical groundwork for more extreme legal and social action against them in the future. So it dispatched something called its “climate envoy,” John Kerry, to Scotland with that aim.
Everything these loons do is, as Ben wrote, setting “rhetorical groundwork” in order to add weight to the already too-heavy hand of the federal government.
Related: Climate Crazies Have Discovered That Summertime Is Hot
Kerry’s comments, which are highlighted in the post, are ridiculous and, as Ben goes on to point out, just so much projection:
This is an obvious truism at this point, but, of course, I would be remiss not to point out that these people always do what they accuse their opponents of doing. Freud got it right. From the Hunter Biden laptop hoax to the “safe and effective” COVID vax lie, lying in the service of their various profiteering and social engineering projects is their modus operandi. Climate change is no exception.
The Biden administration is all-in on filling the pockets of Big Green. They came out of the gate by having President LOLEightyonemillion sign an executive order halting the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline on Inauguration Day 2021. The puppet masters made sure that the Green lobby knew that the White House would soon be giving them unlimited withdrawals from the American Taxpayer ATM, which was the real purpose of the laughably named “Inflation Reduction Act.”
Because the Legislative Branch of the United States government has ceded many of its responsibilities to the Executive, the American people are subjected to a variety of regulations when the Left wants to achieve its goals and they have a president in place.
Rick recently wrote about the most recent regulatory insanity that the Democrats are looking at:
If I were a climate change fanatic, I wouldn’t stop at anything to cut carbon. This explains a lot about the Department of Energy’s proposed rules on energy efficiency for ceiling fans.
Yes, ceiling fans. The DOE announced the exciting news this past week that consumers would save between $28 and $39 over the life of a ceiling fan on energy costs.
Meanwhile, Republicans on the Small Business Committee are questioning the wisdom of rules that will save consumers pennies a year but very well might cost thousands of jobs as some small ceiling fan manufacturers are likely to go out of business. They sent a letter to Jennifer Granholm inquiring about the new regulations.
If, like me, you’re skeptical whenever the government says that forcing you to do something will save you money in the long run, you have a clean bill of mental health.
I live in a very, very hot part of the country. I’ve been away from home for almost two weeks and my ceiling fans have been running the whole time because I don’t want to return to a thousand-degree sweat box. I didn’t need to turn them off to give them a rest because — other than when I stop them for a few minutes to dust them — my ceiling fans run from May to October. They’re BEASTS. I’m not in the mood to nuke them for Democrat Big Green-approved fans that will save me forty bucks in 10 years.
If the government-approved fans even last that long.
The Climate Cult attempts to rule with a combination of fear-mongering and paternalistic condescension. Both are offensive. All of it is built on lies.
Those incandescent bulbs didn’t deserve to die.

‘US in conflict with itself’ – Medvedev
The rift between Democrats and Republicans could potentially cause a civil war, the former Russian president has said
The confrontation between Democrats and Republicans in the US could spiral into a full-blown civil war, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has said.
Speaking to RT and TASS news agency on Saturday, Medvedev said there is “a colossal rift between the elites” in the US. “It’s a clash between the conservative Republican establishment and the liberal segment, represented by the Democratic Party, which has actually torn America apart.”
“America is currently in a state of internal strife. America is conflicting with itself,” Medvedev, who is currently the deputy chair of Russia’s Security Council, argued. “Moreover, in my view, this strife is irreconcilable in some aspects. Such domestic conflicts often end with a civil war.”
“I don’t know what will happen in the US, but the level of conflict right now is [high],” he said.
Medvedev noted the ongoing criminal prosecution of ex-President Donald Trump, who is seeking the Republican Party nomination to run against the incumbent, Joe Biden, in the 2024 presidential election. Medvedev claimed that the charges against Trump have been brought “not for the sake of justice, but to prevent Trump from participating in the new election.”
Trump’s mugshot released after surrender at Atlanta jail
Asked whether there are similarities between the administration of Barack Obama and the Biden White House in terms of dealing with conflicts, Medvedev said there was more “pragmatism” during the Obama years. He added that Biden has been more “involved mentally, politically and economically” in Ukraine, which has “tied his hands.”
Biden’s resolve to support Kiev against Russia has made him “a hostage of Ukraine, which is very sad for both Ukraine and the US,” Medvedev said.
Trump is facing a litany of criminal charges, including for allegedly mishandling classified documents and attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. On Saturday, he was booked at a Georgia jail and released on bail, becoming the first US president to have a mugshot taken.
Trump insists that all allegations against him are a politically motivated “witch hunt.”

When a central bank prints money, the supply of dollars increases, which could lead to inflation. From 2008 to 2014, the Federal Reserve completed three rounds of Quantitative Easing. Now central banks are committing to mobilizing again.
Morality and Values
In The Great Narrative, the World Economic Forum is saying we must reconsider the role of morality and values in our lives and re-evaluate how they (morals and values) affect our behavior and decision-making. Seriously?!
“We cannot do things the way we normally do them and must reflect on the values that guide us. This is what the idea of COVID-19: The Great Reset was premised upon: change is always painful. This requires a re-examination of the role of morality and values. How critical are they, and how can they best inform our decisions and calls for action?” (page 135)
Well, what do you think? Does synthetic biology, AI and warfare, a greener financial system, morals, and values sound like things we should be concerned about? Should we be willing to turn these areas of life over to technology for convenience or to make life easier, supposedly? There is now a movement working around the clock to install the Antichrist system, and so far, the sheep are cheering this plan on. The sheep are lining up excited to implement new technology, oblivious that the wolf is watching and ready to pounce! It’s time to sound the alarm! The world is being set up for a perilous deception.

Charisma News Brief: Church Arsonist Accidentally Lights Self on Fire
12:00PM EDT 8/28/2023 Shawn A. Akers
A man who attempted to set fire to a church in Oakland Park, Florida, accidentally lit himself ablaze, a security video has revealed.
The Broward County Sherriff's Office recently released a surveillance video that showed footage of the culprit, who walked onto the property of the Power Outreach Ministry shortly after 1:40 p.m. He walked across the church parking lot and poured a small bucket of gasoline near the church's front door and attempted to light it in two different areas.
The video footage shows that the suspect narrowly avoided burning himself the first time, but didn't escape the blaze on the second attempt. The video then revealed the suspect fleeing the scene.
Investigators are still searching for the man, who fled westbound. Broward Sherriff's Office deputies and Oakland Park Fire Rescue responded to the scene quickly, but not before the fire caused more than $1,000 damage to the church, authorities said.
"After extinguishing the fire, firefighters alerted deputies to evidence that the fie at the Power Outreach Ministry may have been intentionally set. The Oakland Park City Fire Marshal responded to the scene and determined the fire to be arson," the Broward County Sherriff's Office said in a release.

The Morning Briefing: Climate Cult Tyrants Are Still Worse Than COVID Tyrants
By Stephen Kruiser 4:10 AM on August 28, 2023
Freedom-loving Americans have had a rough go of it since the first arrival of the Wuhan Chinese Bat Flu on our shores. The Trump/Fauci alliance made things bad enough, but the tyrannical flex got really awful when Joe Biden was installed in the presidency. As we have seen in recent weeks, the COVID fetish Left is attempting to relive its glory days of oppression.
With the stink of the pandemic government heavies still lingering so strongly, the Climate Cult thugs have been hoping to keep their campaign of error and terror continuing unabated without anyone noticing. We do occasionally discuss them here in the Briefing, but it’s time to check in again.
There is, of course, a lot of overlap between the COVID tyrants and the climate tyrants. The lefties do often like to specialize, however. The climate commies have been grifting in that lane for so long that they don’t really need to pay attention to any opportunities that may come along on the COVID panic front.
John Kerry — America’s Ugliest Trophy Wife — is tasked with demonizing anyone who questions the Climate Cult orthodoxy, and Ben wrote about his latest antics:
The corporate state is intent, apparently, on ramping up its propaganda against so-called “climate deniers,” presumably to set the rhetorical groundwork for more extreme legal and social action against them in the future. So it dispatched something called its “climate envoy,” John Kerry, to Scotland with that aim.
Everything these loons do is, as Ben wrote, setting “rhetorical groundwork” in order to add weight to the already too-heavy hand of the federal government.
Related: Climate Crazies Have Discovered That Summertime Is Hot
Kerry’s comments, which are highlighted in the post, are ridiculous and, as Ben goes on to point out, just so much projection:
This is an obvious truism at this point, but, of course, I would be remiss not to point out that these people always do what they accuse their opponents of doing. Freud got it right. From the Hunter Biden laptop hoax to the “safe and effective” COVID vax lie, lying in the service of their various profiteering and social engineering projects is their modus operandi. Climate change is no exception.
The Biden administration is all-in on filling the pockets of Big Green. They came out of the gate by having President LOLEightyonemillion sign an executive order halting the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline on Inauguration Day 2021. The puppet masters made sure that the Green lobby knew that the White House would soon be giving them unlimited withdrawals from the American Taxpayer ATM, which was the real purpose of the laughably named “Inflation Reduction Act.”
Because the Legislative Branch of the United States government has ceded many of its responsibilities to the Executive, the American people are subjected to a variety of regulations when the Left wants to achieve its goals and they have a president in place.
Rick recently wrote about the most recent regulatory insanity that the Democrats are looking at:
If I were a climate change fanatic, I wouldn’t stop at anything to cut carbon. This explains a lot about the Department of Energy’s proposed rules on energy efficiency for ceiling fans.
Yes, ceiling fans. The DOE announced the exciting news this past week that consumers would save between $28 and $39 over the life of a ceiling fan on energy costs.
Meanwhile, Republicans on the Small Business Committee are questioning the wisdom of rules that will save consumers pennies a year but very well might cost thousands of jobs as some small ceiling fan manufacturers are likely to go out of business. They sent a letter to Jennifer Granholm inquiring about the new regulations.
If, like me, you’re skeptical whenever the government says that forcing you to do something will save you money in the long run, you have a clean bill of mental health.
I live in a very, very hot part of the country. I’ve been away from home for almost two weeks and my ceiling fans have been running the whole time because I don’t want to return to a thousand-degree sweat box. I didn’t need to turn them off to give them a rest because — other than when I stop them for a few minutes to dust them — my ceiling fans run from May to October. They’re BEASTS. I’m not in the mood to nuke them for Democrat Big Green-approved fans that will save me forty bucks in 10 years.
If the government-approved fans even last that long.
The Climate Cult attempts to rule with a combination of fear-mongering and paternalistic condescension. Both are offensive. All of it is built on lies.
Those incandescent bulbs didn’t deserve to die.

‘US in conflict with itself’ – Medvedev
The rift between Democrats and Republicans could potentially cause a civil war, the former Russian president has said
The confrontation between Democrats and Republicans in the US could spiral into a full-blown civil war, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has said.
Speaking to RT and TASS news agency on Saturday, Medvedev said there is “a colossal rift between the elites” in the US. “It’s a clash between the conservative Republican establishment and the liberal segment, represented by the Democratic Party, which has actually torn America apart.”
“America is currently in a state of internal strife. America is conflicting with itself,” Medvedev, who is currently the deputy chair of Russia’s Security Council, argued. “Moreover, in my view, this strife is irreconcilable in some aspects. Such domestic conflicts often end with a civil war.”
“I don’t know what will happen in the US, but the level of conflict right now is [high],” he said.
Medvedev noted the ongoing criminal prosecution of ex-President Donald Trump, who is seeking the Republican Party nomination to run against the incumbent, Joe Biden, in the 2024 presidential election. Medvedev claimed that the charges against Trump have been brought “not for the sake of justice, but to prevent Trump from participating in the new election.”
Trump’s mugshot released after surrender at Atlanta jail
Asked whether there are similarities between the administration of Barack Obama and the Biden White House in terms of dealing with conflicts, Medvedev said there was more “pragmatism” during the Obama years. He added that Biden has been more “involved mentally, politically and economically” in Ukraine, which has “tied his hands.”
Biden’s resolve to support Kiev against Russia has made him “a hostage of Ukraine, which is very sad for both Ukraine and the US,” Medvedev said.
Trump is facing a litany of criminal charges, including for allegedly mishandling classified documents and attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. On Saturday, he was booked at a Georgia jail and released on bail, becoming the first US president to have a mugshot taken.
Trump insists that all allegations against him are a politically motivated “witch hunt.”

Controversial new AI app allows you to text with Jesus – and Satan

It’s not every day that the spiritual realm intersects with smartphone tech.
But in the era of chatbots and AI, even the biblical figures aren’t immune.
Welcome to the world of “Text With Jesus,” where you’re just a tap away from a conversation with the holy – and, for a price, the not-so-holy.
Deepening faith through ‘Text With Jesus’
For those longing for a more personal connection to their faith, this app might be the digital salvation they’re seeking.
Designed with devoted Christians in mind, “Text With Jesus” promises interaction with figures like Jesus, Mary, Joseph, Peter, and Matthew.
This app wears its spirituality on its screen, guiding you through its queries with responses mined from the depths of the Bible’s rich text.
Conversations go beyond tradition in the app
There’s a certain audacity in allowing you to go beyond the traditional interactions one might expect.
Although the full range of figures and unlimited messaging are only available to premium subscribers, the app is free to download and use on all eligible devices.
The "Text With Jesus" app allows users to chat with an AI version of biblical figures including Jesus Christ and Satan.The “Text With Jesus” app allows users to chat with an AI version of biblical figures including Jesus Christ and Satan.Shutterstock
By shelling out just $2.99/month, you can embark on a journey through some of the Bible’s more intricate dialogues, like Adam and Eve’s narrative or the dawn of humanity.
The devil is in the details: The app’s most controversial feature
The app’s most controversial feature: conversations with Satan himself.
Expectations can be deceiving, especially in the world of AI.

Satan, historically the symbol of temptation and deceit, dons a surprisingly mellow avatar in this app.
Users anticipating fiery dialogues or cunning deceptions might be left scratching their heads.
Instead, the Prince of Darkness champions love, respect, and understanding — values synonymous with biblical virtues.
As if to ensure a modern flavor, each devilish interaction ends with a “smiling face with horns” emoji.
It’s an odd mix of solemnity and sass, which will undoubtedly spark reactions from traditionalists and tech enthusiasts alike.
Now, whether it’s a deliberate attempt to challenge perceptions or just a programming oversight remains a topic for debate.
However, it’s important to note that interaction with Satan is turned off by default and must be manually enabled by you if you choose to engage with this figure.
The app points out that, “the portrayal is rooted in Christian teachings, and users have full control over their engagement with all figures within the app.”

Navigating the digital faith frontier
Beyond its novelty, “Text With Jesus” opens up a dialogue on the evolving nature of faith in our increasingly digital world.
For some, it might offer solace in moments of solitude, providing scripture-based advice at the touch of a button.

For others, it may serve as a curious exploration into how technology can shape, transform, or even distort ancient teachings.
“Our app is a tool for exploration, education, and engagement with biblical narratives, and it is not intended to replace or mimic direct communication with divine entities, which is a deeply personal aspect of one’s faith,” the app creators say on their website. “The AI-powered app does not claim to provide actual divine insights or possess any form of divine consciousness, but simply uses its language model to generate responses based on a wide corpus of biblical and religious texts.”
With this in mind, “Text With Jesus” might be the forerunner in a digital faith movement, a beacon lighting the way for a new kind of spiritual exploration.
The amalgamation of centuries-old teachings and modern tech poses fascinating queries about the evolution of faith in a digitized age.
Where can I find the “Text With Jesus” app?
iPhone,iPad, Mac: 4.3 stars (at the time of publishing)
Currently, the app is available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. You will need a device running iOS or iPad OS 16 or later or macOS 13 (Ventura) or later. Make sure to update your device to the latest version of iOS or macOS.
The app is working to expand to Android and the web in the future.

Where tech and spirituality converge
If “Text With Jesus” is any indication, the convergence of technology and spirituality is only in its infancy.
The future might see virtual reality church services, AI-generated sermons tailored to individual beliefs, or augmented reality Bible studies offering immersive experiences of ancient stories.
As this melding continues, it’s vital to tread carefully, ensuring that the core tenets of faith are preserved amidst the dazzle of technology.
Kurt’s key takeaways
The rise of “Text With Jesus” heralds a new chapter in the annals of faith—one where scripture meets software.
As we navigate this brave new world of digital spirituality, one must wonder: Can tradition and tech coexist harmoniously, each enriching the other? What do you think?

Half of jailed men who identify as trans women convicted of sexual assault
'Prison is for punishment, not degenerate sexual behavior'
WND News Services By WND News Services Published August 24, 2023 at 1:28pm
By Mary Margaret Olohan The Daily Signal
FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL: A little more than half of the men housed in Wisconsin Department of Corrections facilities who identify as transgender women have been convicted of at least one count of sexual assault or sexual abuse.
The revelation comes from Wisconsin Department of Corrections records obtained by The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project through an April 2022 public records request. The Oversight Project sought information on biologically male inmates seeking transfers to female prisons by saying they identified as transgender females. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of the Heritage Foundation)
“Men belong with men and men only in prison,” said Mike Howell, director of the Oversight Project. “Putting sex offender men claiming to be women in cells with women is another reason the world laughs at America’s moral decline. Prison is for punishment, not degenerate sexual behavior.”
Of the 161 biological men who are housed in Wisconsin Department of Corrections facilities and who self-reported as transgender, 81 (50.3%) have reportedly been convicted of at least one count of sexual assault or sexual abuse as of late July. The prisoners may have been convicted of additional offenses for their current incarceration periods that are not sex offenses, the Wisconsin Department of Corrections noted.
Inmates convicted of sex offenses may have committed crimes including sexual exploitation of a child, sexual exploitation by a therapist, forced viewing of a sexual act, rape, sexual intercourse without consent, incest, sexual intercourse with a child, indecent behavior with a child, enticing a child, and more.
Though given multiple days and numerous opportunities to respond, the Wisconsin DOC would not tell The Daily Signal whether it houses biologically male inmates in female prisons. Deputy Director of Communications Kevin Hoffman referred The Daily Signal to the Wisconsin DOC’s policy index.
Hoffman similarly would not address specifics on whether Mark Campbell, a biological man who now identifies as a woman and goes by Nicole Campbell, has been transferred to a women’s prison.
Campbell admitted to raping his own daughter and was sentenced to 34 years in prison, according to a local Wisconsin outlet. A federal judge had ruled in December 2020 that Campbell could receive taxpayer-funded transition surgery and could be moved to a women’s prison while awaiting that surgery.
It remains unclear where Campbell is currently housed.

Fauci Declares That ALL Unvaccinated Citizens Must Be Locked Down This Winter
Fact checked
August 23, 2023 Sean Adl-Tabatabai News, US 77 Comments
Anthony Fauci has reemerged from retirement and urged the Biden administration to implement a “strict lockdown” this winter for all unvaccinated Americans.
The disgraced government bureaucrat appeared at a university virtual event recently titled, “Pandemic Lessons and Role of Faculty in Pandemic Preparedness with Dr. Anthony Fauci.”
During the appearance Fauci made it clear that he supports locking down and punishing those in society who are not yet vaccinated.
Fauci falsely claimed that New York City was overrun and had “cooler trucks outside because they had no places to put the bodies.”
“You had to have something to immediately shut down the tsunami of infection,” he states, adding, “that lockdown was absolutely justified.”
“Lockdown has a purpose,” the pseudoscientist continued. “One of the purposes, if you don’t have a vaccine, it’s to get more ventilators, get the hospitals better prepared … until you decompress the pressure on the hospitals.
Fauci wasn’t done yet. Here comes the truly evil insanity…
“If you have a vaccine available, you might want to lock down temporarily so you can get everybody vaccinated,” he suggests.
Rejecting the idea that lockdowns are a moral question, he added that “lockdowns have a place, but they are not a permanent solution.”
The conversation continued, with the longtime NIAID chief declaring that “climate change” is “playing a role” in causing outbreaks.
He then calls for an “international commitment to decrease the carbon imprint in society so you don’t have the kinds of crazy weather we’re having in this country.”
Yes, that’s a real quote.
He went on to blame the tragedy in Maui on climate change. “It’s completely, really amazing what’s happened with climate change,” he concludes.

BRICS reveals six new members
The group of rising world powers will more than double its ranks
Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates are joining the BRICS group of nations, after their candidacies were approved on Thursday by leaders of the current member states, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced.
The six newcomers will become full-fledged members starting January 2024. The club currently consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. BRICS expansion topped the agenda of the summit in Johannesburg this week.
“We value the interest of other countries in building a partnership with BRICS. We’ve tasked our foreign ministers to further develop the BRICS Partners Country model and a list of prospective partner countries,” the South African leader added.
BRICS previously expanded only once in 2010, when South Africa joined the organization. The admission was made without any prerequisites. One of the key goals of this year’s summit was to agree to more formal criteria for new candidates.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose nation will take the rotating BRICS presidency next year, thanked the host of the summit for his contribution to the outcome.
“President Ramaphosa has shown amazing diplomatic skill in reconciling all positions… regarding the expansion of BRICS,” he said.
The group touts itself as an alternative to Western-dominated international institutions, saying that its approach better reflects the emerging multipolar world. Member states have blamed the US and its allies for abusing their position during the moment of unipolarity, which they enjoyed following the collapse of the Soviet Union. As Western influence dwindled, its leaders leveraged tools under their control, such as the dollar, to protect its hegemonic position, BRICS members claim.
Participants of the summit expressed confidence that the organization’s influence will continue to grow. BRICS seeks to maintain a balanced approach to its admittance policy so that all parts of the world are represented and have an influence on its agenda.

‘Megalomaniac Ambition for Total Control’: Governments Eye New Gates-Funded Biometric Digital ID System
August 24, 2023 Guest Post by Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.

Digital ID System
Guest Post by Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.
The Modular Open Source Identity Platform, modeled after India’s biometric database, is expanding globally despite controversy over consent and data protections, but privacy advocates warn the Gates Foundation-funded digital ID initiative could enable tracking citizens “from cradle to grave.”
Spurred in part by the COVID-19 pandemic and the push for digital vaccine “passports,” a growing number of global governments are considering implementing biometric digital ID programs that would require citizens to obtain digital identification credentials to access public goods and services.
Until recently, concerns about the global interoperability of digital systems and the risk of technological “lock-in” to platforms developed by private actors stymied governments’ plans to implement such programs.
Now, backers of a new open-source platform called MOSIP (Modular Open Source Identity Platform) — whose funders include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Bank and eBay founder Pierre Omidyar — are touting the platform as a solution to both these obstacles.
Developed at the International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore in India and modeled after Aadhaar, India’s nationwide digital ID platform and the largest such system in the world, MOSIP “enables countries with low IT capacity to quickly roll out specialized digital identity solutions to their citizens,” according to Identity Review.
Proponents argue the rollout of platforms like MOSIP will help people, especially in low- and middle-income countries, gain access to vital public goods and services.
They also argue the platforms will help the global community fulfill the United Nation’s (U.N.) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which include requiring everyone — including infants — to have a digital identity by 2030 in order to work, vote, and access financial, social and medical services.
But for critics, technologies like MOSIP represent a threat to individual liberty and another step toward a digital panopticon — a widespread rollout of government-mandated surveillance technologies, including “vaccine passports” and other digital identification tools, that spell the end of personal privacy.
What is digital identity?
Michael Rectenwald, Ph.D., author of “Google Archipelago: The Digital Gulag and the Simulation of Freedom,” told The Defender:
“The OECD [Organization of Economic Co-Operation and Development] defines digital identity as ‘the sum total of the growing and evolving mass of information about us, our profiles and the history of our activities online that relates to inferences made about us, based on this mass of information.’”
“Digital identity is thus not merely a new, more handy, lightweight, digital form of identification,” Rectenwald said. “It refers to a collection of data that purportedly define who we are, including what we do both online and off-line — if ‘off-line’ life can still be said to exist — and not merely to a means by which we can be identified as such.”
Greg Glaser, a California attorney, said, “normal” people think of IDs as a normal thing, but the reality of the biometric digital ID is “far more sinister.”
Glaser said that today, rights, citizenship status, affiliations, standing in court, accounts, privileges, services, land title and more all fundamentally depend on some form of identification.
“A person can hardly access any of the above without some form of ID,” Glaser said, “mostly meaning name but often numbers, which are increasingly linked to biometrics.”
But for governments, Glaser said, “Controlling people means controlling ID. Even national governments are now wholly dependent on their organizational and corporate IDs for their transactions, bonds, taxes, and privileges.”
Biometric surveillance covers a range of identification measures and technologies, including facial recognition, voice recognition, fingerprint databases, DNA databases, iris scans, heart rate scans, gait recognition — even emotion detection through the analysis of facial expressions and mannerisms.
According to the Gates Foundation, “Digital ID systems are one of the three pillars of what’s known as digital public infrastructure (DPI)” along with digital payment systems and data exchange systems. They are similar to “the roads and bridges that helped reshape economies in the 19th century.”
“Researchers say DPI can help low- and middle-income countries leapfrog traditional stages of development, lift millions out of poverty, and spur economic growth,” the foundation said.
Such a system “is critical because people need a verified identity in order to tap into DPI’s other benefits, from digital bank accounts and instant payments to mobile phone accounts and personal data management,” said the Gates Foundation.
“If a person cannot prove who they are, how can they take advantage of all of the opportunities society has to offer?” the foundation asked.
According to the foundation, “850 million people around the world … lack any acceptable form of legal identity” and “more than half of those without proof of identity are children whose births were not registered.” One in two women in low-income countries do not have ID, the foundation said.

Infants would get biometric digital ID at birth or during routine immunization
Rectenwald told The Defender that behind the Gates Foundation rhetoric, digital ID extended to the poor could mean everyone without a digital ID would be unable to participate in society.
“The demand for total ‘inclusion’ means there will be no escape from the digital surveillance afforded by the MOSIP digital identity system,” Rectenwald said. “One of the most disturbing elements of MOSIP is its objective of providing infants with a portable, biometrically linked digital ID” at birth or during routine immunization.
MOSIP is aligned with several of the U.N.’s SDGs, including Target 16.9, which calls for the provision of a digital legal identity for all — including newborns — by 2030.
While some claim MOSIP “has been built as a digital public good,” for privacy advocates, the realities of such technologies do not reflect the rosy rhetoric.
Aadhaar, for instance, has already been marked by repeated concerns about its privacy and data protection.
W. Scott McCollough, an Austin-based internet and telecommunications lawyer, told The Defender, “I do not view a mandate to prove my identity as a prerequisite to exercising basic liberties … as anything close to a ‘digital public good.’”
Rectenwald said MOSIP will not lead to so-called inclusion but will advance a global surveillance state.
He told The Defender:
“Tied to a central bank digital currency [CBDC], which is the plan, the MOSIP system will also facilitate economic surveillance and control, while excluding dissidents and other undesirables from the economy, and tracking and tracing subjects to a degree hitherto unimaginable.
“Given Bill Gates’ involvement and funding of MOSIP, we can be sure that beneath its philanthropic gloss lies the megalomaniac ambition for total control.”
McCollough also said he’s wary of Gates’ involvement, describing MOSIP as “merely the latest Gates-funded mechanism to total population control. Digital ID, biometrics, CBDC all integrated into an “open” app (powered by a series of APIs) that offers the illusion of autonomy when it is instead the surrender of all self-determinacy to the digital masters.”
“All the laudatory press and attention is merely more word-salad platitudes designed to lull people into voluntarily succumbing to global tyranny,” he added.
“The MOSIP digital identity system could track people from cradle to grave, inclusive of their vaccine status, eventual political affiliations and even their carbon footprints, potentially including an ESG [environmental, social and governance] score for individuals,” Rectenwald said.
Current rollout of MOSIP
According to the Gates Foundation, 11 countries — nine in Africa and two in Asia — “have signed memoranda of understanding with MOSIP to pilot the system,” adding that “More than 90 million people have been registered for MOSIP-based IDs in the Philippines, Ethiopia, and Morocco as part of national deployments.”
The Hindu reported that other countries using the technology include Burkina Faso, The Republic of Guinea, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka, the Togolese Republic and Uganda.

Are You Ready To Eat 'Food' Grown By 'Big Pharma' In Huge Steel Tanks, Loaded With Vaxxes? 'Engineered Atmospheric Events' Have Us Closing In On Famine And Mass Starvation
By Rhoda Wilson of Expose News and All News Pipeline August 23, 2023
We live in perplexing times. It’s almost inconceivable to think that there’s a war being waged against food, an absolute and undeniable necessity of life. Yet, here we stand, on the precipice of what looks like a catastrophic agenda against global sustenance.
So, what’s this newfound hostility against the thing that keeps us alive?
Take a deep breath. Farming uses nitrogen, and suddenly, nitrogen is the new antagonist in the tale of global warming. The narrative is simple: eliminate nitrogen, and save the world. Yet, in the name of “preservation,” entire segments of our food production are under siege.
Consider rice – a staple for half the world’s population. Renowned agencies claim, “Rice accounts for roughly 10% of global methane emissions,” emphasizing the urgent need to curtail its production. But the ramifications? Starvation for billions.
Look to the Netherlands for further evidence. Dutch farmers, the backbone of a nation that is a leading exporter of meat and agricultural products, are being chased off their lands. A staggering number, 3,000 farms, are forecasted to be confiscated in the coming years. The tragic fallout is evident, with a reported 20 to 30 farmers tragically ending their lives annually.
Our friends in Europe are no strangers to these baffling decisions either. The European Commission greenlit a strategy to compensate livestock farmers for halting their operations in certain areas – with a stipulation that they never resume their animal breeding activities. The implications are clear: a drop in global food availability and an inevitable spike in prices.
ANP Emergency Fundraiser: The globalists war on ANP is all part of the globalists 'Big Tech' effort to silence conservative and independent voices, allowing them to maintain a monopoly on the flow of information. As George Orwell made clear to us decades ago, "The further a society drifts from the truth, the more they will hate those who speak it." But, with your amazing help, we at ANP promise to keep 'speaking truth to power' because, as Orwell also reminded us, "If liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."
Remember Sri Lanka’s ill-fated venture into 100% organic farming? The island nation faced a humanitarian nightmare with a staggering 90% of its population on the brink of starvation.
And the Western leaders’ stance on agriculture? Eric Utter encapsulates it perfectly in American Thinker, “The attack on farming by Western leaders is shockingly negligent. It’s criminal.” Especially when such views ignore the glaring fact that while agriculture may account for 33% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, it simultaneously sustains every single human being on this planet.
Organizations like the World Economic Forum tout visions of a “farm-free future,” dreaming of a world where food is crafted in sterile labs and humans are herded into congested urban centers. Toss digital currency into this dystopian mix, and you have the ultimate formula for absolute dominance.
In our modern era, the recipe is simple:
- Concoct a crisis, even if none existed.
- Incite racial tension among children.
- Reverse the progress women achieved over decades.
- Worsen shortages and tamper with the money supply.
- Tackle borders haphazardly.
- Condemn specific foods, close farms, or incite wars to create famine.
- Muzzle voices of dissent by labelling truth as “misinformation.”
A tactic reminiscent of Cloward and Piven: create a crisis, then implement severe measures to address that very crisis.
Our global food supply is now in peril, thanks to overblown reactions to this so-called “nitrogen issue.” But why this apathy? Sri Lanka, for instance, is an alarming testament to this flawed approach.
The truth remains that nitrogen is pivotal for plant metabolism. Without commercial nitrogen fertilizers, hunger was a dire reality in many corners of the world. If we shun these fertilizers, we voluntarily invite famine back into our lives. The idea of bug diets, “rewilding,” and organic farming might sound avant-garde, but they certainly won’t satisfy global hunger.
It’s glaringly evident that this isn’t just about combating climate change. At its core, it’s an insidious bid for control.
The world stands at a critical juncture.
It’s time to confront these disguised agendas and defend our plates.
After all, when the stakes are survival, there’s no room for compromise.

Windows shattered in Moscow suburb as Russia says it thwarts latest Ukraine drone attack
By Associated Press August 22, 2023 5:22am Updated
Russian air defense systems thwarted four nighttime Ukrainian drone attacks, Russia’s Ministry of Defense said Tuesday, with the falling wreckage of one drone shattering an apartment building’s windows and damaging vehicles in Moscow’s western suburbs.
There were no reports of injuries in the latest drone attacks that Russia blamed on Kyiv, as the war approaches its 18-month milestone.
Though the drone attacks on Russian soil have occurred almost daily in recent weeks, they have caused little damage.
Even so, they have unnerved some Russians and are in line with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky’s pledge to take the war into the heart of Russia.
Flights at several Moscow airports were temporarily suspended Tuesday as a security precaution amid the attacks, authorities said.
Two other drones were jammed and crashed in the western Bryansk region bordering Ukraine, the defense ministry said.
Ukraine hasn’t acknowledged responsibility for the attempted drone strikes, nor have senior Russian leaders made any comment about the development.
Russian President Vladimir Putin was to speak via video link at a meeting this week in Johannesburg of leaders from Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
Putin is under threat of arrest if he travels abroad due to an International Criminal Court arrest warrant and won’t attend the so-called BRICS talks in person.

The Next Major War Is Reportedly About To Begin, And “D-Day” Has Already Been Chosen
August 20, 2023 by Michael
Not another one. As I have repeatedly warned my readers, leaders all over the globe seem to have come down with a really bad case of war fever. Instead of sitting down and attempting to find solutions through diplomacy, many of our leaders seem quite eager to use military force to settle matters these days. There is no peaceful end to the war in Ukraine on the horizon, China is making preparations to invade Taiwan, and the “shadow war” in the Middle East could easily erupt into a full-blown regional conflict. But in this article I am going to focus on the next war that is reportedly about to begin. A group of nations in western Africa known as ECOWAS is preparing to invade Niger with the approval of the EU and the Biden administration, and CNN is reporting that “D-Day” has already been chosen…
The West African regional bloc ECOWAS says it has chosen an undisclosed “D-Day” for a possible military intervention to restore Niger’s democratically elected president following last month’s coup.
Abdel-Fatau Musah, the Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace & Security of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) bloc, said that military forces are “ready to go anytime the order is given” for military intervention in Niger.
“The D-day is also decided, which we are not going to disclose,” Musah told journalists after the two-day meeting of West African defense chiefs in the Ghanaian capital of Accra.
Musah went on to ominously declare that his alliance will not put up with any more coups in Niger and that they are “putting a stop to it at this time”…
The commissioner said the bloc had decided that the “coup in Niger is one coup too many,” for the region, adding that there will be no further meetings of ECOWAS defense chiefs on the issue.
“We are putting a stop to it at this time,” Musah said in his concluding remarks.
But what most people in the western world don’t realize is that there is a lot more to this story than we are being told.
For decades, puppet politicians have allowed wealthy western nations to greatly exploit Niger. It has vast quantities of gold and uranium, but the vast majority of the population of Niger continues to live in complete and utter poverty.
This is why the coup is so popular in Niger. The population is sick and tired of being raped by France, and now the French are deeply concerned that they may no longer be able to exploit their former colony…
A powerful undercurrent of the military coup in Niger is anti-French sentiment emerging from a sense that Niger has been exploited by its former colonial master France. Supporters of the coup have protested at the French embassy and otherwise attacked French interests in Niger.
One particularly prominent complaint has to do with French use of Niger’s rich resources, especially gold and uranium, while Niger remains one of the poorest nations in the world. France’s President Emmanuel Macron, who is fresh off the heels of riots and an uprising in Paris largely perpetrated by immigrants from France’s former colonies, has warned Niger against any attack on France’s interests.
Of course you won’t hear any of this on the corporate news networks.
They will just tell you that the coup leaders are bad and the upcoming invasion is good.
And so that is what most people will believe.
By the way, did you know that the U.S. currently has more than 1,000 troops in Niger?…
The United States has 1,100 troops in Niger, where it has spent hundreds of millions of dollars training security forces to battle terrorist organizations. Niger is a critical part of America’s overall counter-terrorism strategy, especially given the rise of Islamist extremist groups in Africa.
Why did we need to have so many troops there?
Sadly, it seems like we have troops almost everywhere.
Ultimately, the U.S. military is used to keep “order” all over the world, and that often means protecting western economic interests.
Meanwhile, we have just learned that the Netherlands and Denmark have agreed to provide Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets…
The Netherlands and Denmark will provide Ukraine with much sought-after F-16 aircraft in an agreement hailed by President Volodymyr Zelensky as “historic.”
Kyiv has urgently been calling on its Western allies to provide F-16 jets, as its slow-moving counteroffensive is hampered by Russian air superiority.
Speaking at a joint press conference with Zelensky at Eindhoven airport, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said his country would “commit to delivering F-16 aircraft to Ukraine” once “the conditions for such a transfer have been met.”
Zelensky has wanted F-16s for a long time.
Now he is going to get them.
Both sides just continue to escalate the conflict in Ukraine, and this is going to be such a huge story in the months ahead.
On the other side of the world, it appears that the Chinese military has been systematically practicing for an invasion of Taiwan…
The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theatre Command has released a provocative video showing troops practicing a coastal invasion of Taiwan. The video first appeared on the social media site WeChat Thursday, and features waves of PLA soldiers storming beaches, including armored vehicles and tanks driving into attack positions.
The clip didn’t specifically name Taiwan, but given the Eastern Theatre Command oversees the Taiwan Strait area, it’s being widely interpreted as a warning and threat aimed at the self-ruled island which is backed by the West.
The moment that China launches such an invasion, the U.S. and China will be at war.
We are living at a time of wars and rumors of wars, but most people in the western world don’t understand any of the things that I just shared with you.
In fact, most of our young people would have a really difficult time even finding Niger, Ukraine or Taiwan on a blank map of the world.
But eventually conflict will arrive on our doorstep too, and then everyone will be paying attention…

EXCLUSIVE: 'Debanking' row breaks out after Bank of America shuts down account for ultra-conservative Christian charity that serves impoverished Ugandans
Indigenous Advance Ministries - which purports pro-life and anti-same sex relationship values - claims it was 'debanked' over its conservative Christian views
BofA vehemently denies the accusations claiming 'religious beliefs are not a factor in any account-closing decision'
Do YOU think you were a victim of 'debanking'? Please email: money@dailymail.com
By Helena Kelly Consumer Reporter For Dailymail.Com
Published: 08:23 EDT, 22 August 2023 | Updated: 09:26 EDT, 22 August 2023
A 'debanking' row has broken out after an ultra-conservative Christian charity which provides necessities to Ugandan orphans had its account shut down by Bank of America.
Memphis-based non-profit Indigenous Advance Ministries has filed a complaint to the Tennessee Attorney-General's office over concerns its accounts were closed because the bank disagrees with its 'religious views.'
The organization - which claims to have had a banking relationship with BofA since 2015 - purports pro-life and anti-same sex relationship values on its website.
BofA firmly denies it 'debanked' the body over these views, telling DailyMail.com that 'religious beliefs are not a factor in any account-closing decision.'
But campaigners are calling for greater transparency over how firms decide which accounts to shut down, adding cases of 'political and religious 'debanking' appear to be on the rise.'
The term 'debanking' hit headlines across the globe last month after UK politician Nigel Farage - who pioneered the country's Brexit movement and was a close ally of former president Donald Trump - fell victim to the trend.
Historically the term referred to cases where banks limit financial services to businesses it assessed as having money laundering risks. But firms are increasingly being accused of closing accounts over reputational fears.
Indigenous - which was previously named World Shine USA - opened a new business checking account with BofA in January before shortly applying for two credit cards.
On April 24 this year, it was sent a letter by the bank advising that its accounts were being shut down within 30 days.
Associated accounts belonging to partner entity Indigenous Advance Customer Center and a church operating at the same address - Servants of Christ Community dba University House of Prayer - were also closed.
The correspondence from BofA stated: 'Upon review of your accounts, we have determined you're operating in a business type we have chosen not to service at Bank of America.'
Representatives for Indigenous said they 'repeatedly' asked for an explanation about the closure.
On May 24, the organization was sent a follow-up letter that stated its 'risk profile no longer aligns with the bank's risk tolerance.'
At the time, Indigenous said it had $270,000 in its deposit account.
The charity works with Ugandan ministries to provide support for orphaned and vulnerable children and prisoners in the African country.
Under the 'Core Beliefs' tab on its website it endorses a number of evangelical Christian views including that 'all human life is sacred... from conception to natural death.'
It also advocates that 'marriage between one man and one woman is the only proper context for sexual relations.'
A letter to the Attorney General's office, signed by board members Steve Happ and Bob Phillips, read: 'Being forced to transition so quickly caused a great deal of trouble for us. It also disrupted our mission to Uganda in June and we were temporarily unable to pay salaries in Uganda. And we were left very confused.'
They added: 'Our mission and work, supporting Ugandan children and families through indigenous Ugandan Ministeries, has remained the same since we were founded and first opened our accounts with Bank of America.
'I am concerned that Bank of America cancelled our and our partners' accounts because it disagrees with our religious views.'
A spokesperson for BofA said the closure was related to a part of Indigenous' operations which includes debt collection.
On its website, Indigenous said it is 'dedicated to pursuing the recovery of overdue invoices on behalf of our clients.'
BofA claimed debt collection services are a clear violation of its policies. The Bank added it only became aware of this part of the charity's operation when the new account was opened in January.
However, when DailyMail.com asked BofA to share the exact part of its policies that says it doesn't service debt collection agencies, it was unable to do so.
The firm added that the organization's business operations in Uganda also made it a high-risk account.
In a statement, a BofA spokesman said: 'We are proud to provide banking services to non-profit organizations affiliated with diverse faith communities throughout the United States.
'Religious beliefs are not a factor in any account-closing decision. Our U.S. division that serves small businesses doesn’t offer banking services to organizations that provide debt collection services for a variety of risk-related considerations and doesn’t serve small businesses operating outside the United States.'
Indigenous is now being represented by the legal advocacy group Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF)
ADF representatives point out that BofA only provided an explanation about the account closures after DailyMail.com had contacted the bank for comment.
Jeremy Tedesco, ADF senior vice president of corporate engagement, said: 'Americans should not have to fear losing their bank accounts because of their political or religious beliefs.
'Yet instances of banks canceling accounts due to people’s speech or religion appear to be on the rise.'
The office for Tennessee attorney general Jonathan Skrmetti has confirmed it received the complaint and is reviewing the details of the case.
The issue of 'debanking' came to a head in Britain last month after Nigel Farage had his account with private bank Coutts closed.

The Wrong People Just Got Their Hands on an Elite Drone Unit
Luis Chaparro Tue, August 22, 2023, 4:39 AM EDT·5 min read
CIUDAD JUÁREZ, Mexico—One of Mexico’s most violent cartels has just created its own elite unit of drone operators, a highly trained group of sicarios dedicated to tweaking commercial drones and turning them into flying bombs to use against rival cartels and Mexican authorities, according to U.S.-based security analysts, Mexican officials, and cartel members who spoke with The Daily Beast.
The ruthless Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG for its Spanish acronym) began weaponizing commercial drones more than four years ago, according to researchers and Mexican authorities. The creation of specialized drone units, however, indicates that the cartel is shifting its drone operations into high gear.
“We began training as a group in 2021, but only this year we started operating,” a Jalisco Cartel New Generation member of the Operadores Droneros (Drone Operators), told The Daily Beast on the condition of anonymity.
The group is mostly dedicated to finding and attacking rival cartels like Los Viagras, Knights Templar in Michoacán, and the Sinaloa Cartel in Jalisco, the cartel operator said.
“It depends on which drone we use, but we can be miles away and confirm that they [rivals] are at a certain house or vehicle and then crash the drone with the explosives,” he said.
Cocaine, Marijuana… Jellyfish? Cartels Muscle in on New Export Business
The group has even come up with its own patch to distinguish themselves among the ranks of henchmen of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, according to researchers at C/O Futures. It consists of an image of a quadcopter drone and the face of a skull at the center. The patch has the CJNG letters at the bottom and the words “Operadores Droneros” at the top.
The group is allegedly composed of a dozen men and currently operates only in Michoacán and Jalisco states, according to the cartel operator.
“The Operadores Droneros is still a new and not widespread group inside the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, but that doesn’t mean it is harmless; they have enough power to focus our attention on to them,” a Mexican intelligence official inside Mexico’s army told The Daily Beast requesting to remain anonymous.
A Mexican state police operating in the state of Michoacán also confirmed to The Daily Beast the existence of the drone operators working within the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
The drones used by the cartel are mostly produced in China and bought online through retail platforms like Amazon or Ebay. Once in the hands of the cartel henchmen, they manipulate them to carry a load of makeshift explosives including potassium perchlorate and aluminum, among other ingredients, according to the cartel operative.
“Then we add some shrapnel like buckshots and nails to add more damage,” he said.
Inside the Project
In a video obtained exclusively by The Daily Beast—purportedly taken from inside the Operadores Droneros unit in Michoacán—one of the alleged henchmen can be seen stuffing explosive charge inside plastic bottles. The footage shows some nails and buckshots around the working area, and a DJI commercial drone in the back of a pick-up truck.
The video was allegedly recorded a few hours before an attack against the Knights Templar in the small village of Apatzingan, Michoacán, in August this year, according to multiple sources inside the CJNG.
The drone operations unit of the Jalisco cartel was first trained by “Americans and a Colombian man” who showed them how to source, fly, and detonate a commercial drone, according to the cartel source.
“A gringo [American] showed us how to make our own explosives, since sourcing a real plastic explosive could be too attention-grabbing. And the Colombian showed us how to drive and maneuver a drone,” he said.
Explosive drones have been some of the most lethal weapons used by cartels against Mexican authorities. That was made all too clear in November 2022, when a convoy from the Mexican military was attacked with explosive drones by henchmen from the Jalisco New Generation Cartel as they approached the small town of Tepalcatepec in Michoacán. Four were killed and six others were injured in the incident, according to news reports.
Earlier this month, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador submitted a new legislative proposal that would equip Mexican law enforcement with anti-drone technology.
Between 2021 and August this year, the Mexican army seized 23 weaponized drones, mostly in the central states of Michoacán, Guerrero, and Jalisco—all states where the Jalisco New Generation Cartel is very active—according to official figures from the Mexican army.
“The significance of the institutionalization of weaponized aerial drones by criminal armed groups... can as a result present a more profound threat to the state and its security forces,” John P. Sullivan, researcher at C/O Futures, told The Daily Beast. “Future potentials might include targeting law enforcement and customs and border patrol officials on the frontier,” Sullivan said.
Last week, China also admitted that most of the civilian drones used by criminal organizations and military were manufactured in that country and announced a series of sanctions and restrictions to exports starting this week.
But the export restrictions and the proposal of a new law in Mexico could mean nothing for the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
“We understand they [Mexico and Chinese governments] have to do something, but honestly, it is not like we will stop. We are fighting a war, even if they don’t want to admit it. This is a war and we will source our weapons from wherever we can,” the cartel operative said.

Ukraine War Must End Now by Planet Today - 8/22/2023 02:20:00 AM
Tucker Carlson on Monday published an interview with former Trump administration official Col. Douglas Macgregor (Ret.), who explained why the war in Ukraine has put the United States on the brink of a 'catastrophic war that could easily destroy us.'
Carlson begins with a bold statement: "pretty much everything that NBC and The NYTimes have told you about the war in Ukraine is a lie." "'The Russian army is incompetent' - they claim. 'Ukraine is a Democracy!' 'Vladimir Putin is Hitler and he's trying to take over the world!' 'Thankfully, the Ukrainians are winning.' "Every claim is false, the last one especially," said Carlson, adding "the Ukrainian army is not winning - in fact, it's losing badly. Ukraine is being destroyed. Its population is being slaughtered." "Most American know nothing about Ukraine," Macgregor continued, adding that "if they knew anything about the history of Eastern Europe, they would all say 'get out!'... because the wars and the blood and the hatred that's been fought over for centuries is something we can't sort out." Macgregor's comments grow more ominous in their tone as the discussion continues. He notes that President Biden has enabled 'combat pay' which implies there are American forces on the ground in Ukraine. "It would be a mistake to think that the Russian forces do not know where they are," the retired colonel explains, pointing out that the Russians are sending a message with recent precision missile strikes near the borders of Poland and Moldova: "if you think you can hide from us, if you come in here, if you cross these borders, we will annihilate you." We need to come to terms with these realities because we can't defeat it," he remarked reflecting on the fact that people have called him 'unpatriotic' for his comments. He summed the situation in Ukraine up rather succinctly: "if we press this war with Russia in Central East Europe, it will reach us here in the United States."
"Ukrainian forces are in piecemeal fashion, surrendering to the Russians, not because they don't want to fight; it's because they can't fight anymore, they have so many wounded they can't evacuate them ... we're going to see this army that we have spent so heavily on, melt away."
When it comes to the equipment being used to fight, MacGregor said that "a lot of the equipment we sent over there is quite frankly, obsolete... its very old, it's not new." "Integrated air defenses will knock virtually everything that flies out of the sky," he said, adding "We will then fall back on a nuclear deterrent - a tactical nuclear weapon that says 'if you keep advancing, we'll have to use a nuclear weapon.' We don't want to go there, because the notion that there are so-called tactical nukes 'oh, it's just a little nuke, so that won't precipitate a nuclear war' - the use of any nuclear weapon is going to precipitate an escalation very rapidly," he said.
Carlson ends by asking Macgregor about the "leftist American man dressed as a woman" that is now the mouthpiece of Ukraine who claimed "Vlad Putin is a vampire bathing in the blood of Ukrainian children."
Macgregor asks "is that a transgender man?" To which Carlson replies, "yes, that's a guy with fake breasts." Macgregor retorts: "well I think everything else is fake too... this war is a catastrophe... the people bathing blood are in Kiev and Washington."

Tropical Storm Hilary moves into California as flooding, mudslides wreak havoc on state after also being hit with earthquake
By David Propper August 20, 2023 9:41pm Updated
Pounding rain and ferocious winds flooded roads and brought down trees across Southern California on Sunday night as Tropical Storm Hilary unleashed its wrath on the region.
The historic storm, previously classified as a hurricane, put millions under flash flood watches and warnings as the heavy rain trapped dozens of cars in rising floodwaters in Palm Springs and the surrounding communities.
Before the storm impacted the area, residents were startled by a 5.1-magnitude earthquake and ensuing aftershocks that rocked Ojai, a city about 80 miles northwest of Los Angeles, on Sunday afternoon.
There were no immediate reports of major damage or injury from the quakes.
Hilary first made landfall earlier Sunday across Mexico’s Baja California peninsula.
The storm’s mayhem killed one man in the country when his car was swept away by flooding, officials said.
Mud and boulders also spilled onto highways, including two massive rocks that tumbled onto Interstate 8 in San Diego, according to the California Department of Transportation.
There were no reported injuries or deaths from the storm on Sunday night.
Still, forecasters cautioned residents to stay inside as the quick-moving storm rolled through the area.
The National Weather Service’s Los Angeles office said in an evening post on X, formerly known as Twitter, that heavy rain continued to hit much of LA and Ventura counties.
“PLEASE STAY HOME AND OFF THE ROADS TONIGHT,” the agency tweeted. “This is a DANGEROUS situation.”
The highest total of rain was recorded at Leona Valley at 6.15 inches while Lewis Ranch notched 5.94 inches, the agency said.
Schools across both Los Angeles and San Diego will be closed Monday due to the storm.
“There is no way we can compromise the safety of a single child or an employee, and our inability to survey buildings, our inability to determine access to schools makes it nearly impossible for us to open schools,” Los Angeles Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said.
Hundreds of flights in LA, San Diego and Las Vegas were canceled.
Forecasters also warned of possible tornadoes in eastern San Diego County.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom previously declared a state of emergency as mayors from San Diego and Los Angeles also issued emergency declarations.
“It’s quite amazing. I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Sean Julian, 54, of Rancho Mirage.
“I’m seeing a lot more trees down. And there’s a big tree that just fell over there, and I probably shouldn’t be out here.”
Other states were also bracing for the heavy rain, including Nevada, which declared a state of emergency as Gov. Joe Lombardo called in 100 National Guard troops to help with any issues that come from the severe weather.
Arizona, Oregon and Idaho were also facing the threat of damaging winds and rain from Hilary.
President Biden said in a Sunday statement that the federal government deployed resources to the area impacted by Hilary and is ready to provide more support if needed.
“I urge people to take this storm seriously, and listen to state and local officials,” he said.
Across the border in Mexico, the Mexican army used bulldozers and dump trucks to clear tons of boulders and debris from roads.
Almost 2,000 people were evacuated to shelters, the country’s army said.
“We’ve always been aware that it’s a risky area. A lot of water runs (nearby) but what are we going to do? It’s the only place we have to live,” said Yolanda Contreras, who lives in the area of Rosarito, 15 miles from the border.

Maryland Reports First Case in 40 Years of "Locally-Acquired" Malaria
Nation Hal Turner 19 August 2023 Hits: 3949
Maryland health officials have reported a case of locally acquired malaria in a resident who lives in the D.C. area, who was hospitalized with the mosquito-borne illness and is now recovering.
The person did not recently travel outside the U.S. or to another state reporting any locally acquired malaria cases, according to a news release Friday from the Maryland Department of Health.
“Malaria was once common in the United States, including in Maryland, but we have not seen a case in Maryland that was not related to travel in over 40 years,” said Maryland Department of Health Secretary Laura Herrera Scott, in a statement. “We are taking this very seriously and will work with local and federal health officials to investigate this case.”
Maryland typically sees about 200 malaria cases each year tied to international travel, according to state health officials. Across the U.S., more than 2,000 cases of malaria are reported each year in the U.S. with the vast majority tied to travel outside the country, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
During a virtual news conference Friday, health officials said the locally acquired malaria case is “very rare,” but that they haven’t seen any other cases linked to this one.
“We’re hoping that we won’t see any ongoing transmission of this,” said Dr. David Blythe, director of the Maryland Department of Health Infectious Disease Epidemiology and Outbreak Response. “And we haven’t seen any indication of that. But we’re on the lookout for that, and we want to give people information about what they can do … if they’re concerned.”
The patient who was hospitalized is now home and recovering, Blythe told reporters. The patient was infected sometime over the last week, and testing was confirmed positive for malaria by the CDC Friday afternoon, Blythe said.
Citing patient confidentiality, officials did not provide any other details about the patient. They said the patient lives in the National Capital Region, which is made up of Charles, Prince George’s, Montgomery and Frederick counties.
Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by a parasite. Symptoms usually appear seven to 30 days after a bite from an infected mosquito and can include high fever, chills, body aches, diarrhea and vomiting.

Gray Fire burns 3,000 acres of Washington State near Spokane killing at least one, as local mayor warns residents: 'Get out NOW!'
A wildfire in eastern Washington State prompted about 4,800 to evacuate as well as helicopter rescues - as authorities race to contain blazes across the state
The fire started around midday surging through 4.7 square miles of grass, timber and wheat and was pushed by 35mph winds within hours, officials have said
Apocalyptic scenes also emerged from the nearby Canadian province of British Columbia including Kelowna and further north in Yellowknife early Saturday
By Aneeta Bhole For Dailymail.Com

Apocalyptic scenes have emerged from Washington State where wildfires prompted the evacuation of thousands and 3,000 acres were scorched, killing at least one.
The Gray Fire started at about midday on Friday and a few hours later surged through 4.7 square miles of grass, timber and wheat pushed by 35 miles per hour winds, the Washington State Department of Natural Resources said.
Medical Lake and Four Lakes, about 15 miles southwest of Spokane, have a combined population of 5,000 - the local mayor warned residents to 'get out now!' as the blaze continued to threaten those communities.
A red-flag warning, meaning critical fire conditions were happening or soon to happen, is scheduled to come into effect at about 10am on Saturday for eastern Washington State and northern Idaho, the National Weather Service said.
Spokane County Sheriff's Office told khq that at least one person had died in connection to the Gray Fire but the circumstances remain unclear.
As of 7am Saturday morning, Spokane County Emergency Management reduced the threat level to 2, 'Be 'Set!' near Granite Lake, Tyler and Malloy Prairie and I-90 south.
But the fires appeared to continue to rage in other parts of the area.
Washington State Department of Natural Resources, Joe Smillie, told the New York Times that the huge blaze destroyed several structures in Medical Lake but those numbers have yet to be quantified.
As of Friday night, there was zero percent containment of wildfire and officials are yet to release updates for Saturday.
City of Medical Lake Mayor, Terri Cooper, warned residents and posted to Facebook 'All Medical Lake citizens, get out now.'
'We are under Level 3 evacuations. If you need transportation, buses are available at Medical Lake High School baseball field,' she said.
'They will take you to Cheney High School (Red Cross Evacuation Shelter). Small animals are ok. If you need help with large animals, please contact 911 and they will assist you. Please stay diligent and safe.'
Hours later the city issued a boiled water alert saying they're 'unsure of the water.'
'We are unsure of the water quality so to be safe, we are requesting our water customers to boil water until we can get the system restored and test the water to ensure it is safe to drink,' they posted to Facebook.
'We will need to take steps to evaluate the water system and test the water. We will inform customers when the water is safe to drink without boiling.'
Terrifying videos and pictures emerged from the area overnight with some revealing the extent of the ferocious fire.
In one video posted to TikTok from a plane flying over Medical Lake, huge areas could be seen lit up by the blaze.
The area appeared to be consumed by smoke with another video showing burning buildings sitting by the edge of the lake as embers and ash rose from the sites.
Washington State's Department of Natural Resources also warned that strong winds could bring fire that has been burning in British Columbia Cascades into the United States.
The blaze, the Crater Creek fire, has burned at least 54,000 acres since it started in July.
'We've got a long night ahead of us, but please keep yourselves safe,' Hilary Franz, the public lands commissioner in Washington, tweeted.
'We'll focus on bringing these fast-moving fires under control.'
In Canada, the western province of British Columbia was under a state of emergency order early Saturday because of dangerous wildfires.
Some homes on the fringes of Kelowna, a major resort area, were on fire, and a few were destroyed.
In one video posted to TikTok residents could be seen in a boat as they watched homes and buildings reduced to ash.
Further north, most residents of Yellowknife, a city of 20,000 people in the Northwest Territories, were forced to flee, as a wildfire approached the city limits.
Videos show the blaze exploding in the nearby woodland as vehicles try to escape the burn zone.

The Chinese military posted an animated video simulating how China's forces would attack Taiwan if war breaks out
Aditi Bharade
An animated video from the Chinese military shows how China's forces could attack Taiwan.
The video showed a targeted, multi-prong assault on Taiwan executed by aircraft and navy vessels.
China held drills around the island after Tsai Ing-wen met Rep. Kevin McCarthy on Wednesday.
The Chinese army posted a video on Sunday showing how a full-scale attack on Taiwan from China could be launched if war were to break out.
An animated video from the Chinese military's Eastern Theatre Command's official WeChat account was re-posted to Twitter by the state-linked media outlet Global Times.
It showed the possible trajectory of missiles landing on Taiwan and its surrounding waters and mapped out how forces from the Chinese mainland, including military aircraft and navy vessels, could launch a coordinated attack.
—Global Times (@globaltimesnews) April 9, 2023
While this might be viewed as propaganda and bluster in the wake of Taiwanese leader Tsai Ing-wen's US visit, China did conduct drills simulating precision strikes on Taiwan over Easter.
Taiwan's Ministry of Defense said in a statement on Monday that 70 Chinese aircraft and 11 Chinese navy vessels encircled the island on Monday morning.
The drills were part of a military exercise conducted by the People's Liberation Army Eastern Theater Command, a statement on Saturday from the Chinese Ministry of Defense said.
The statement added that the drills are a "stern warning" that China will not tolerate "provocative activities of 'Taiwan independence' secessionist forces and their collusion with external forces."
The drills kicked off after Tsai met House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in California on Wednesday. McCarthy said Tsai was a "great friend of America," and that "America's support for the people of Taiwan will remain resolute, unwavering and bipartisan," the Associated Press reported.
Taiwan considers itself a sovereign state separate from mainland China. But China considers Taiwan as part of its territory, a breakaway province with a democratic government that poses a threat to China's Communist Party.
The US abides by the One China policy, which does not formally support Taiwan's independence and acknowledges the existence of a sole Chinese government. However, the US is also an ally of Taiwan and has an unofficial diplomatic relationship with the island.
Representatives for Taiwan's Ministry of Defense, the Chinese military's Eastern Theatre Command, and the Chinese embassy in Washington, D.C., did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.

YouTube to Censor Content Contradicting WHO Guidelines
By Naveen Athrappully
August 17, 2023 Updated: August 18, 2023
YouTube has introduced a new “medical misinformation policy” that will censor any medical or health-related content that doesn’t align with claims made by the World Health Organization (WHO).
YouTube earlier had a “COVID-19 Misinformation Policy” webpage that stated that the platform doesn’t allow any content that “poses a serious risk of egregious harm” and spreads “medical misinformation” contradicting what the WHO or local health authorities (LHA) say about the COVID-19 pandemic. The webpage now redirects to a “medical misinformation policy” page that expands the censorship rule to “specific health conditions and substances” rather than COVID-19 alone.
YouTube stated that the policy could be arbitrarily enforced, as it “may not cover” all guidance from the WHO or LHAs related to “specific health conditions and substances.”
In an Aug. 15 blog post, YouTube wrote that it wants to “make sure there is a robust framework to build upon when the need for new medical misinformation policies arises.”
“We’ll continue to monitor local and global health authority guidance to make sure our policies adapt,” the post reads. “We want our approach to be clear and transparent, so that content creators understand where the policy lines are, and viewers know they can trust the health information they find on YouTube.”
YouTube asked creators to avoid posting content on the platform that contradicts health authority guidance on the prevention or transmission of certain health conditions “or on the safety, efficacy or ingredients of currently approved and administered vaccines.”
Content that contradicts guidance on treatments, including promoting “specific harmful substances or practices” not approved by authorities or the WHO as safe and effective, also won’t be allowed on the platform.
Any content that “denies the existence” of certain health conditions would be banned as well.
The new policy is being criticized for suppressing the free flow of information. Author Michael Shellenberger pointed out that YouTube’s new policies “will censor you if you disagree” with the WHO.
“YouTube recognizes that WHO’s ‘guidance’ might change. But if it does, it won’t be because of debate on YouTube. YouTube isn’t a social media platform, it’s a propaganda platform,” he wrote in an Aug. 16 post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Imagine if YouTube had been around over the last 200 years. It would have banned criticisms of blood-letting, thalidomide, lobotomies, and sterilizing the mentally ill, all of which were recommended by official health authorities.”
Vaccine Misinformation
Claims that vaccines cause chronic side effects “outside of rare side effects” recognized by health authorities would be deemed as “vaccine misinformation” by YouTube.
This includes claims that an approved COVID-19 vaccine could cause “death, infertility, miscarriage, autism, or contraction of other infectious diseases.”
The policy stands in contrast to recent studies that show that COVID-19 vaccines could result in death. In June, a study funded by the South Korean government showed that after receiving an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, eight people died suddenly of myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle.
All the sudden cardiac deaths occurred in people aged 45 and younger. One of the victims was a 33-year-old man who died just one day after he received the second dose of the Moderna vaccine. Another case involved a 30-year-old woman who died three days after getting her first dose of a Pfizer vaccine.
Any content claiming that herd immunity through natural infection is safer than vaccinating the population will also be classified as “misinformation” by YouTube. Other such “misinformation” includes claims that vaccines don’t reduce the risk of contracting illness and that vaccines could alter a person’s genetic makeup.
The new policies “apply to videos, video descriptions, comments, live streams, and any other YouTube product or feature,” according to the YouTube post.
“These policies also apply to external links in your content. This can include clickable URLs, verbally directing users to other sites in video, as well as other forms,” the post reads.
Abuse of Power
In his X post, Mr. Shellenberger pointed out that opposition to bad medical or health advice usually comes from outside of these professions. By disallowing criticism of the mainstream narrative, YouTube’s new policy risks triggering “gross abuses of power.”
It’s also “an attack on free speech, science, and democracy,” he said, noting that “this is all part of the WHO’s master plan to censor the world.”
The WHO has also faced criticism for colluding with the Chinese Communist Party, especially during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the organization repeated the regime’s talking points.
The WHO downplayed the effect of COVID-19, which eventually spread to 229 countries around the world with a death toll of nearly 7 million people, excluding China.
The updated YouTube policy comes as the WHO is engaged in drafting a global convention on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response. The convention will exist under the WHO constitution and will have legally binding and non-legally binding components.
If the global convention comes to fruition, the WHO can be empowered to determine lockdowns and have the authority to decide what constitutes a pandemic, how testing can be carried out, what test results would be considered positive or negative, and which drugs to suppress and approve.
In an Aug. 16 commentary at The Epoch Times, Dr. David Bell, a public health physician, pointed out that the COVID-19 response ignored common norms of managing epidemics and human rights to institute a “regime of suppression, censorship, and coercion.”
“Without pausing to examine the costs, the public health industry is developing international instruments and processes that will entrench these destructive practices in international law,” he said.
“Public health, presented as a series of health emergencies, is being used once again to facilitate a fascist approach to societal management.”

Canadian wildfires that have already forced tens of thousands of people from their homes and even jumped a lake amid gale-force winds are continuing to spread at an alarming rate with no signs of stopping.
Hundreds of fires classed as currently 'out of control' - mostly larger than 1,000 hectares in scope - are raging across the North American nation, official trackers show.
The Canadian Wildland Fire Information System (CWFIS) indicates that while hundreds of blazes that broke out over the past 24 hours are now 'under control', at least double the number have ignited to replace them.
It comes after horrific wildfire scenes in Maui, Hawaii, where 111 people have been recorded as dead and hundreds are still missing - and Lahaina locals told DailyMail.com the death toll has been underplayed and is in reality at least 480.
Residents said the situation was so dire that morgues had run out of body bags.
In one of the worst-hit areas of West Kelowna, British Columbia, 43mph winds fanned flames over Lake Okanagan and consumed several properties on the way.
A local state of emergency has been declared in Kelowna after the fires forced evacuations in the Clifton area of the city on Friday morning.
In the past 24 hours, fires in the city have grown a hundred times bigger as they spread from the north-west of the city, with BC Wildfire Service saying they have now burned through 6,800 hectares of territory.
Some of the hills around the city blazed in the predawn light after wildfires that had been burning since Tuesday jumped Lake Okanagan and spread into parts of Kelowna.
'We fought hard last night to protect our community,' Jason Brolund, West Kelowna fire chief, told reporters on Friday. 'Night turned to day because of the orange glow of the clouds and the fire.'
Videos and photographs from the area show apocalyptic scenes.
Daytime shots show homes and woodland burning beneath amber skies filled with dense clouds of suffocating smoke.
In other videos, the skyline is barely visible as smoke descends from all directions towards people huddled on the side of a road in West Kelowna as they hopelessly watch their hometown burn.
Firefighters can be seen tackling monster blazes that dwarf their water hoses by comparison in the same region.
More than 2,400 properties were evacuated, officials said, and thousands more are on alert to leave with little notice if necessary.
Similar scenes have torn through land close to Yellowknife, the capital of the Northwest Territories, where more than 20,000 people have been told to flee their homes.
'Out of control' fires are threatening to cut off access to the only highway out of the city and officials have warned that without a much-needed downpour the blaze would reach the city by the weekend.
Evacuation flights also took off from Yellowknife Airport as residents of the regional capital were given until noon Friday to leave.
Emergency responders were constructing firebreaks, installing sprinkler lines and water cannons, and laying fire retardant in an effort to prevent the blaze from reaching the city - which remains a real possibility in coming days, officials said.
Strong northern winds could push the flames toward the only highway leading away from the fire, officials warned, which was choked with long caravans of cars.
Northwest winds over the next two days will send the fire 'in directions we don't want,' said Mike Westwick, Northwest Territories' fire information officer.
Across the wider territory, 6,800 people in eight other communities were also forced to evacuate their homes, including the small community of Enterprise, which was largely destroyed.
Ten planes left Yellowknife on Thursday with 1,500 passengers and 22 more are expected to leave on Friday with 1,800 more passengers.
'I want to be clear that the city is not in immediate danger and there's a safe window for residents to leave the city by road and by air,' Shane Thompson, a government minister for the Territories, told a news conference.
'Without rain, it is possible (the fire) will reach the city outskirts by the weekend.'
'We're all tired of the word unprecedented, yet there is no other way to describe this situation in the Northwest Territories,' Premier Caroline Cochrane posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The infernos, which mark the latest chapter in a terrible summer for wildfires in Canada - the worst fire season on record - also threaten to send enormous plumes of toxic smog over the United States in echoes of similar scenes earlier this summer.
An official forecast map shows smoke is expected to be blown south eastwards throughout Friday and over the Midwest into the eastern United States.
Around 65 percent of the 46,000 total population of Northwest Territories are expected to be evacuated.
Firefighting teams were cutting down vegetation to create fire breaks, setting up sprinkler systems and setting deliberate fires to eliminate fuel before the bigger blaze approaches, the fire service said.
Experts say climate change has exacerbated the wildfire crisis, as it comes after much of Canada has seen abnormally dry conditions.
Drought and high temperatures have contributed to the number and intensity of this year's fires.

British Columbia wildfires intensify, doubling evacuations to over 35,000 people
By Reuters August 20, 2023 5:49am Updated
Forest fires in Canada’s western province of British Columbia intensified on Saturday, with the number of people under evacuation orders doubling from a day earlier, as authorities warned of difficult days ahead.
The province declared a state of emergency on Friday to access temporary authoritative powers to tackle fire-related risks, as out-of-control fires ripped through interior British Columbia, partially shutting some sections of a key highway between the Pacific coast and the rest of western Canada, and destroying many properties.
“The current situation is grim,” Premier Daniel Eby told reporters on Saturday, saying some 35,000 people were under an evacuation order, and a further 30,000 were under an evacuation alert.
Eby said the province is in dire need of shelter for evacuees and firefighters and ordered a ban on non-essential travel to make more temporary accommodation available.
Officials also urged residents to avoid operating drones in the fire zone, saying it could impede firefighting efforts.
The fire is centered around Kelowna, a city some 180 miles east of Vancouver, with a population of about 150,000.
Eby said the province is in dire need of shelter for evacuees and firefighters and ordered a ban on non-essential travel to make more temporary accommodation available.
Forest fires are not uncommon in Canada, but the spread of blazes and disruption underscore the severity of its worst wildfire season yet.
About 54,054 square miles of land, roughly the size of New York state, have already burned, and government officials project the fire season could stretch into autumn due to widespread drought-like conditions in Canada.
B.C. had experienced strong winds and dry lightning in the past few days due to a cold mass of air interacting with hot air built-up in the sultry summer.
That intensified existing forest fires and ignited new ones.
“We are still in some critically dry conditions, and are still expecting difficult days ahead,” said Jerrad Schroeder, deputy fire centre manager at the Kamloops Fire Centre.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau convened a meeting of key ministers and senior officials on Saturday to discuss wildfires.
The Incident Response Group, which met for the second time this week, agreed to make “additional resources available” to both British Columbia and the Northwest Territories (NWT).
MAIN EAST-WEST ROAD UNDER THREAT
A wildfire burning out of control in Yellowknife, the capital city of NWT, had triggered evacuations of almost all of its 20,000 residents this week.
One patient died when he was being transferred out of Yellowknife, an NWT minister said on Saturday.
Currently, the fire is not expected to reach city limits by the end of the weekend, officials said, with some rain and cooler temperatures helping to slow its progress.
The TransCanada highway was closed near Chase, around 250 miles northeast of Vancouver, and between Hope, 93 miles east of Vancouver, and the village of Lytton.
The highway is the main east-west artery used by thousands of motorists and truckers heading to Vancouver, the country’s busiest port.
Kip Lumquist, who works at a gift shop in Craigellachie, British Columbia, a tourist spot on the highway, said she saw a lot of devastation over the past week.
“It was crazy, we couldn’t see the hills, the mountains, the trees, anything, probably (for) two and a half days,” said Lumquist. “I drive a white vehicle, and when I walked out to get in my car… it’s just black… It’s devastating to the community.”
By Friday, the fire in southern B.C. had grown more than a hundredfold in 24 hours and forced more than 2,400 properties to be evacuated.
The flames have destroyed several structures in West Kelowna and authorities have been warning that the province could potentially face the worst couple of days of the fire season this year.
B.C. currently accounts for over a third of Canada’s 1,062 active fires.
Some 5,000 customers are also without electricity in the interior of the province, the main utility said.
The fires have drained local resources and drawn in federal government assistance as well as support from 13 countries. At least four firefighters have died in the line of duty.

Pentagon facing ammunition crisis – WaPo
20 Aug, 2023 16:40
A shortage of raw materials has left the US scrambling to restock its arsenal as the Ukraine conflict drags on
The US Department of Defense is having trouble keeping up with the demands of the Ukraine conflict, the Washington Post reported on Saturday, warning that failure to sustain current production levels could jeopardize security on the home front.
US military contractors are soon expected to double the rate of standard NATO artillery round production recorded prior to the current phase of the conflict. However, even churning out 28,000 shells per month is insufficient to satisfy what the outlet called “Ukraine’s astonishing hunger for artillery ammunition,” let alone shore up depleted reserves at home.
A shortage of raw materials – particularly the explosive TNT, which the US no longer produces – has hampered the Pentagon’s efforts to restock its own arsenal, which has been severely depleted by its support for Ukraine. Washington currently obtains much of its TNT from Poland but has been searching for new suppliers, including in Japan, after losing production partner Zarya when the region where the factory was located voted to become part of Russia in last year’s referendum.
Limited supplies of the propellant used to move artillery shells through gun barrels are also hampering defense contractors’ production capabilities, according to Czech propellant charge manufacturer Explosia. Spokesman Martin Vencl told the Post that the raw materials required to make propellant, including nitroglycerin and nitrocellulose, are in short supply.
Bureaucratic hurdles also mean that just 40.8% of the Pentagon’s $44.5 billion in Ukraine-related production contracts have been finalized, according to the Post. An industry expert from the Center for Strategic and International Studies defended the figure as better-than-usual performance, as concluding a major defense contract normally takes as long as 16 months.
An unnamed Pentagon official suggested that the solution to avoiding future shortages was to maintain “consistent high demand” for ammunition. The Pentagon should “continue to procure at that level over a longer period of time so that we have not just healthy stocks, but a healthy production and industrial base that’s able to meet them,” the person told the Post. The Pentagon hopes to increase output to 1 million shells per year by the fall of 2025.
“One of the lessons learned out of the Ukrainian experience is we need to go back and revisit those minimum standards [for ammunition stocks]. And we may have underestimated,” Army Secretary Christine Wormuth told reporters last month.
US President Joe Biden requested another $20.6 billion for Ukraine from Congress last week, even as officials began to quietly admit that Kiev’s counteroffensive has been a failure. The much-hyped initiative, which has retaken just a handful of villages since June, has cost Ukraine 43,000 troops and nearly 5,000 pieces of equipment, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.

At least two are killed and nearly 200 homes razed to the ground as wildfires rip across more than 20,000 acres in Washington: Entire state under inferno warning
More than 20,000 acres have burned over the North Western state this weekend
The largest wildfire in the state, Gray Fire in Spokane County, is still spreading
Two people have died as thousands were evacuated from two north-east counties
By Laura Parnaby For Dailymail.Com
Published: 16:06 EDT, 20 August 2023 | Updated: 02:21 EDT, 21 August 2023
Terrifying wildfires have killed at least two people in Washington state as they continue to rip across more than 20,000 acres.
Governor Jay Inslee declared a state of emergency for Spokane County where the largest wildfire destroyed nearly 11,000 acres of land, razing nearly 200 buildings as thousands were evacuated.
The entire North Western state remains under an alert, while the largest parkland area - Mount Spokane State Park - has been closed off to the public, as has Interstate 90, as firefighters battle to contain the inferno.
The blaze - known as Gray Fire - started around midday Friday on the west side of Medical Lake around 15 miles west of Spokane. Washington State Department of Natural Resources warned the fire is still spreading.
In an update Sunday, the department warned the blaze was still '0%' contained despite the efforts of firefighters, and it was engulfing more land towards the southwest.
'Still a lot of hazards within the burned areas.' a spokesperson for the department said. 'Natural gas lines venting off, trees coming down, etc.'
There are also 27 smaller wildfires raging over a combined 10,000 acres at scattered locations across the state.
Transport officials have said dense smoke is the biggest challenge for emergency services, because visibility is so bad they are not able to deploy air resources in many areas.
Huge plumes of smoke are growing over Spokane County, while fumes from the Canadian wildfires raging just beyond the northern border are compounding the issue.
Level three evacuation notices are in place in Spokane County and Ponderay County to the north - where a combined population of around 560,000 people live.
Meanwhile, the longest freeway in Washington state, the I90, has been shut off for more than 24 hours due to the fires and people are being advised to leave via alternative routes.
Washington Governor Jay Inslee said the fires are a result of climate change, and urged residents to 'be safe' by listening to emergency responders.
'As these fires rage in Spokane County we want to thank the first responders who are doing such tremendous work in a coordinated effort - thank them if you get a chance... We're going to continue to help in every way that we can.
'This is so troublesome, and there's a certain irony that I'm at a conference about how to fight climate change, and the fires are caused by this.
'Let's think of the people of Spokane and during the recovery as well - be safe.'
The air quality in Spokane County has reached an index of 349 - which is in the most extreme category of 'hazardous' to anyone who breathes the air.
A healthy AQI would fall within 0 to 50.

Russian Lancet kamikaze drones wreak havoc in the ranks of the Ukrainian Army! -Russia throws Army of 25,000 UAV operators into battle (video)
Russia is preparing a total strike force of 180,000 drone operators!
19/08/2023 - 12:02
in Main topics , Ukraine
In a decision which is expected to radically change the course of the Ukrainian - and any other war - the Russian military leadership took. According to information, Russia is preparing an army of drone operators which will amount to hundreds of thousands!
In fact, the Russian military leadership is preparing the first Army of 25,000 drone operators! By 2030 this number will jump to 180,000 and with them hundreds of thousands of drones of all categories will be produced!
According to the Russians the Geran-2 (Shahed-136), Lancet and FPV have changed the course of the Ukrainian war. Special mention is made, as you will read, of the Russian Lancet drones which have proven to be extremely effective.
"The Lancets have emerged as a leading anti-artillery system," say Russian military sources.
Ukrainians are already facing serious problems. According to a high-ranking Ukrainian officer, at night, the flight of Russian drones is detected exclusively by a characteristic sound, without visual contact, which makes it very difficult to impossible to destroy them.
Army of thousands of Russian drone operators!
More specifically, after the start of the Russian "military special operation", there was a severe shortage of personnel (operators and miscellaneous personnel) in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles in the Russian Federation.
The press service of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science told RIA Novosti that this issue will be resolved thanks to the training of specialists at various higher educational institutions.
Students will be taught not only to pilot (control) UAVs, but train a large number of designers, engineers and production personnel.
The department specified that tens of thousands of Russians will receive the required training in this field.
By 2025, 25,000 students will receive appropriate education, and in 2030 there will be about 180,000 of them.
The vice-chairman of the Council for the Development of the Digital Economy under the Federation Council, Senator Artem Sheikin, said that Russian schoolchildren from September 1 will begin to learn the basics of using UAVs.
In the Russian Federation, a unified educational space for the training of specialists has already been formed.
It should be noted that a week ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin during the Forum of Future Technologies "Information and communication. Quantum World" demanded that the national plan for the development of unmanned aerial systems be approved before September 1 and also that this sector be made a priority in the budget for 2024 and the planning period until 2026.
In June, the Russian government approved a strategy for the development of unmanned aircraft in the Russian Federation until 2030.
According to the document, in the next 6.5 years, a whole economic complex should be created in the Russian Federation related to the creation and operation of various civilian UAVs.
The Lancet reaps Ukrainian targets!
According to Russian media, Russian kamikaze drones of the Lancet family have acquired the nickname "worker bees" of the Russian Armed Forces.
The Lancets continue to methodically destroy the artillery and other weapons systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In addition, the frequency of use of these stray munitions by units of the Russian troops is steadily increasing.
Russian military sources are constantly releasing videos of the use of Lancets.
The first video shows the detonation of a camouflaged Italian FH70 155mm howitzer.
The second video shows the destruction of the American M109 155 mm self-propelled guns.
The third video shows the process of destroying a 155 mm M777 along with the ammunition depot in a forest plantation.
Watch the first three videos
In addition, video shows the destruction of equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the help of "Lancet" by forces of OBTF "Cascade".
First they blow up a tank in the direction of Ugledar, and then self-propelled artillery systems 2S1 Gvozdika near the villages of Neskuchnoye and Blagodatnoye.
Here is another video of an accurate hit against a Strela-10 air defense system in the woods in Kremina.
The latest video captures a hit on a Leopard of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Ukrainians had "parked" her in a trench in the direction of Zaporizhia and she was recently terminated by Lancets to prevent the enemy from evacuating her.

Warring Palestinians are killing each other in refugee camps
By Hugh Fitzgerald, FrontPage Magazine August 15, 2023
In the Palestinian “refugee” camps of Lebanon, the inhabitants are ill-treated by the Lebanese government. They are kept confined to the camps, unable to obtain Lebanese citizenship, and banned from working at most professions. But inside the camps, they are given free rein to do what they do best: that is, they’ve just now been trying to kill one another. It’s not surprising: Arab society is inherently violent; the Qur’an itself is full of violent passages; so are the hadith. Muhammad, the Perfect Man and Model of Conduct, fought in 28 military campaigns. He also took part in decapitating between 600 and 900 members of the Banu Qurayza, a Jewish tribe in Medina. The hadith are full of records of battles lost and won, incessant violence, treacheries, murders most foul of every variety, including the deaths meted out to those who dared to mock Muhammad, including Asma bint Marwan, Ka’b bin al-Ashraf, and Abu ‘Afak, by Muhammad’s loyal followers.
“I have been made victorious through terror,” Muhammad proclaimed in a famous hadith. More on the violence, that has been going on — so far — for three days in Ain al-Hilweh, the largest of the Palestinian camps in Lebanon, can be found here: “Clashes continue for a third day in Ain al-Hilweh as ceasefire efforts fail,” by Tzvi Joffre, Jerusalem Post, August 1, 2023: Clashes between Fatah and an Islamist group in the Ain al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon continued for a third day on Tuesday, as efforts to reach a ceasefire continued to fail.
Heavy machine gunfire and RPG fire was reported in the clashes. Repeated efforts to reach a ceasefire have failed to establish a lasting calm so far.
Since the clashes began, 11 people have been killed and dozens more have been injured. Hundreds of families have been displaced and dozens of buildings have been completely destroyed amid the clashes in the refugee camp as well.
Already there have been almost as many deaths from these internecine clashes as resulted from the IDF’s 44-hour raid into the Jenin camp, when 12 fighters from the terror groups PIJ and Hamas were killed.
Amid the clashes, an RPG and gunshots were fired toward near where journalists were reporting in the camp. No injuries were reported in the incident. Paramedics were also forced to withdraw from the camp due to the heavy gunfire in the area. An RPG also fell near a mosque in Sidon where displaced families were sheltered, according to elNashra.
No one in the international media has bothered to report yet on these clashes inside Ain al-Hilweh; only the Israeli and Arab media have so far deemed the story worthy of attention. But you can just imagine what would happen if the IDF had been involved and behaved as the Palestinian gunmen have been doing — that is, if the IDF had fired toward journalists, forced paramedics to withdraw, and launched RPGs in the direction of a mosque. All hell would have broken loose, on the BBC, Canal Cinq, Deutsche Welle, and in the breathless reports in The Guardian, The Washington Post, and The New York Times.
On Tuesday afternoon, Lebanon’s National News Agency reported that a delegation from the Palestinian Joint Action Authority in Lebanon and the Hezbollah-allied Amal movement was preparing to enter the camp to hold further discussions in an effort to stop the fighting.
They came, they talked, and in the end, nothing was accomplished. The rivalries for dominance in the camp, where 15 separate armed groups jostle for power, continue. Outbreaks of violence in the camp have become ever more frequent. Its population has swelled to 65,000, squeezed within one square kilometer, after tens of thousands of Palestinian refugees who had been living in Syria fled during the civil war for the relative safety of camps in Lebanon, including Ain al-Hilweh.
The clashes were sparked over the weekend after an unknown gunman tried to assassinate an Islamic militant, killing a companion of his instead. Hamas official Ayman Shana stated on Monday that an official named Mahmoud Abu Qatada was targeted on Saturday by a Fatah-affiliated gunman and that a man named Abd al-Rahman Farhood was killed.
This much we know: an “Islamic militant”– most likely meaning a member of Hamas, was the target of a Fatah-linked gunman. He missed his intended victim, and killed another, presumably — it’s not clear from the accounts we have — also a member of Hamas. Hamas and Fatah have been fighting with each other ever since 2007, when in Gaza Hamas killed or expelled hundreds of Fatah fighters in order to take complete control of the Strip. The bad blood that began in Gaza has been reproduced in rivalries between votaries of Fatah and Hamas in Palestinian camps all over the Middle East.
Later, on Sunday, Islamic militants assassinated Fatah official Abu Ashraf al-Armoushi and four other Fatah members in the camp, sparking a further escalation in the clashes. According to Shana, the assassination occurred after an agreement reached to hand over Zubaidat was delayed.
Apparently the original gunman, who killed Abd al-Rahman Farhood, was this Zubaidat, whom Fatah had promised to hand over to Hamas for punishment, and then changed its mind. Enraged Hamas members then murdered five members of Fatah, including a high-ranking official, Abu Ashraf al-Armoushi, thus suddenly raising the violence to a new high.
Amid the fighting on Sunday, a shell was fired toward a position belonging to the Lebanese Army near the camp, injuring a number of Lebanese soldiers. On Monday, an additional Lebanese soldier was injured amid the clashes, according to elNashra.
The violence spilled out beyond the confines of the camp, when on Sunday someone — it could have been anyone belonging to one of the 15 armed groups — fired at a Lebanese army position and wounded several soldiers. On Monday another soldier was wounded, hit by gunfire from inside the camp that went astray or, still more worrisome, that was deliberately aimed.
On Tuesday evening, large reinforcements of the Lebanese Army arrived in Sidon in light of the continuation of the clashes in Ain al-Hilweh.
The Lebanese Army does not intend to enter the Palestinian camps; its enhanced presence in Sidon is meant to reassure the Lebanese residents that whatever happens inside the camp, they will be safe.
Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah called for an immediate ceasefire in the camp during a speech on Tuesday, calling the situation “painful, sad, and unfortunate” and calling on anyone who can to work to stop the fighting as quickly as possible.
Such a plea for peace coming from Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah, the chief troublemaker and sower of violence in the country for two decades, is a bit rich. For Nasrallah is the man responsible for starting a devastating war with Israel in 2006 that resulted in great damage to Lebanon’s infrastructure; he heads the terror group that negligently stored 2,500 tons of ammonium nitrates in Hangar #12 at the Port of Beirut, which then exploded on August 4, 2020, killing 240, wounding 6,000, causing $15 billion in damage, and making 300,000 Beirutis homeless; he continues to threaten to drag Lebanon into another war with the Jewish state.
Here’s what I think will happen in Ain Al-Hilweh: another week, possibly two, of internecine warfare, mainly between Fatah and Hamas, but also dragging in, against Fatah, members of the PIJ and the PFLP. After many dozens of deaths, and hundreds of wounded, and terrific damage to the crowded camp, the bloodlust on all sides will have been temporarily sated. There will be a fragile ceasefire, but one that will be broken by one of the armed groups at the slightest provocation. What did you expect? These are the Muslims. This is the Middle East.

Spiritual Warfare
By Hal Lindsey
War! It’s one of those words that carries a built-in emotional wallop. It can raise feelings of patriotic pride and of dark dread at the same time. Other than terrorist attacks, America has been spared from fighting on its own soil for a long time. But if you look back at World War II, you see that even on the home front — a place of seeming peace — lives changed dramatically.
Car manufacturing plants were converted into plants for making the machines of war. New cars could wait. But to keep Ol’ Bessie running, you might want some new tires. Sorry. The war needed rubber, so tires became impossible to buy for most citizens. Food was rationed. Millions planted “victory gardens.” Lots of restaurants removed meat from their menus entirely.
Change and sacrifice are two of the main hallmarks of a winning war effort.
If you read the Bible, you already know that we are in the midst of a war right now — a spiritual war. If you watch or read the news — or if you get out of the house — you know that that war has risen to a fever pitch.
Like it or not, we live in a war zone. Bombs of deceit, violence, and rage explode all around us. This spiritual war is not hypothetical, and it is not a metaphor. It is a real war with real casualties and real collateral damage. But a spiritual war is not to be fought with guns, fists, or missiles. In John 18:36 [NKJV], Jesus said to Pilate, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight.”
2 Corinthians 10:4-5 says, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.”
The battlefields of this war are the hearts and minds of human beings everywhere, including our own. Battles rage around us and in us. We need to cast down those things within ourselves that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God. Make every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.
Don’t be surprised when the war brings hardship. 2 Timothy 2:3 says, “You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” War is not easy. 1 Peter 4:12-13 says, “Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.”
In the midst of the battles, even with painful wounds and sacrifice, the joy of the Lord can be your strength. Stay close to Him. Enjoy sweet fellowship with Him. Sometimes that will include what Philippians 3:10 calls, “the fellowship of His sufferings.” No one wants to suffer, but suffering in fellowship with Him is sweeter than the grandest party with anyone else.
So far in this country, our sacrifices have mostly been financial — typically that has meant giving to the cause of Christ. Compared to the suffering of many Christians around the world, that’s small. And when we give well, it is highly effective for the cause of Christ and therefore of peace for the world.
Will the war become more severe? Until the rapture takes place, the general trend will be toward a world of increasing chaos and persecution. In John 16:33, Jesus said, “In the world you will have tribulation.” Then He added this glorious statement. “But be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
In other words, He has already won the war, and that means we have, too. So, be of good cheer!

Beware of the troubles of the world, there is war going on right now, are you even aware of that, most are not, they walk as if peace is going on and yet the enemy is rising up in many areas, deceiving many and leading many astray. And they’re preparing for war without brains, for they have nobody to lead them anymore, so be in prayer, be in prayer.

Exhibition of captured Western weaponry opens near Moscow (VIDEO)
More than 870 types of military gear seized by Russian forces over the past year are on display
Hundreds of pieces of heavy military equipment seized by Russian troops during the campaign against Ukraine have been put on display as part of a massive open-air exhibition just outside of Moscow. Visitors are able to view both Ukrainian-made weapons and those provided to Kiev by the West.
Videos published in Russian media showed dozens of trophy weapons lined up at the ‘Patriot Park’ venue located west of the Russian capital. The exhibition is part of the international military and technical forum ‘Army-2023’.
The Russian Defense Ministry, which organized the event, said the exhibition includes everything from American M-113 armored personnel carriers and Swedish CV90-40’s to French wheeled AMX-10RCR tanks and Australian Bushmaster armored vehicles.
According to the ministry, the event features a fair amount of British-made equipment such as Husky and Mastiff armored vehicles. Accompanying descriptions also relate how and where each weapon was captured by Russian troops.
Over 870 types of armaments seized by Russian forces were provided for the exhibition. Most examples are either Soviet-made or produced in Ukraine. The event features not only ground equipment, but also several patrol boats captured in the Black Sea port city of Mariupol.
The Russian Defense Ministry regularly reports on the destruction of Ukrainian systems in the ongoing conflict. According to the ministry, Kiev’s military has lost some 5,000 pieces of heavy equipment in largely unsuccessful attempts to break through Russian defenses since the start of their counteroffensive in early June.
Russia’s armed forces also regularly publish photos and videos of captured Ukrainian vehicles, including Western-made examples. One such clip featured a German-made Leopard tank.

Earlier this week, Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said that there is “nothing unique or invulnerable to Russian weapons,” including Western-made arms. Some Soviet-era weapons have even proven to be superior in combat to their modern Western equivalents, he added.

The US military is studying pathogens that could be used as biological weapons as the nation prepares for a potential new pandemic, the commander of Russia’s Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Defense Forces, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, said on Wednesday.
The list of diseases that have attracted the attention of US specialists includes anthrax, tularemia, and various coronaviruses, Kirillov told a media briefing. Some of these pathogens are listed by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as “high-priority” threats that can be used as “bioterrorism agents.”
“There is a clear trend: pathogens that fall within the Pentagon’s area of interest, such as Covid-19, avian influenza, African swine fever, subsequently become a pandemic, and American pharmaceutical companies become the beneficiaries,” the general claimed, without elaborating.

Russia Publicly Accuses U.S. "Deep State" and Big Pharma of Deliberate COVID Pandemic to takeover the world
World Hal Turner 17 August 2023 Hits: 15868
In video below from the Russian Ministry of Defense, Russia just publicly accused Deep State actors and Big Pharma of manufacturing the COVID pandemic to take over the world.
They even listed Obama, Clinton, Biden, and Soros, of being the main “Ideologists” behind the plot.
Below, video from a Briefing by Chief of Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Protection Troops of Russian Armed Forces Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov: "Pentagon conducts uncontrolled dual-use research in circumvention of international obligations under the BTWC (Biological and Toxin Weapons Control Treaty)."
Put sccinctly, the Russian Military officially and publicly accuses the US of releasing bioweapons to create “crisis situations”, and claims the US are planning to do it again.
This is the biggest story in human history, and yet it is somehow remaining largely unnoticed.
UPDATE 11:22 AM EDT --
Television stations all over Russia are carrying this bombshell accusation as major leading news stories.
In this Interview, Lt General Igor Kirillov goes even further in the accusation, saying the US is going to do it again:
Russian biologist Igor Nikulin, who was presented as a former member of the U.N. Commission on Biological and Chemical Weapons, sounded the alarm in a February 27, 2020 interview on Russia Today's Arabic-language channel where he said that he believes it is no coincidence that the coronavirus had the effect it did in China, Iran, and certain European countries.
He said that coronavirus was carefully selected to affect countries that rival the United States and that it is a conspiracy by the "global government," which he said consists of 200 families that control over $400 trillion, that own the media outlets and Hollywood, that control the minds of humanity, and that want to decrease the world's population by 90%.
He suggested that it may be possible that coronavirus is a targeted biological weapon, like he said Ebola and the bird flu were, that infects some people and not others, and he said that the U.S. government may be testing a pathogenic agent it began developing in 1999.
Nikulin also said that this is a warning to the non-English-speaking world that it must submit to the laws that are imposed upon it.
Here's that video interview:

Ecuador holds 6 Colombians in slaying of presidential candidate as violence weighs on nation
By GABRIELA MOLINA and REGINA GARCIA CANO
QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — Ecuador will hold six Colombian men for at least a month as the country probes their involvement in the slaying of a presidential candidate whose life’s work was fighting crime and corruption, the national prosecutor’s office said Friday.
A public ceremony to mourn Fernando Villavicencio was held Friday in the capital convention center, while a separate funeral service was being held for relatives.
“People need to know that his family’s in danger and we can’t go to such a big event,” the victim’s daughter, Tamia Villavicencio, told reporters outside the cemetery.
The Colombian men were arrested Wednesday in connection with Villavicencio’s killing in the capital, Quito, earlier in the day. The men, whose nationalities were announced late Thursday, will be detained for at least 30 days in the investigation, but will almost certainly be held for months or years as the case plays out.
