Coffins for Children Ordered in Bulk, 'First Time in Over 30 Years' (Exclusive Interview)

Miranda Sellick  July 14, 2022

A Toronto-area casket manufacturer has seen a dramatic rise in orders for smaller-sized coffins since the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines. Children are dying.

Ultimately, everything in life comes down to death.

We are raised to believe that there’s a time for living and a time for dying. The time for dying comes with illness, accidents, and old age. Except it doesn’t anymore. 

In an exclusive interview with RAIR Foundation USA, Mick Haddock, a manufacturer of caskets in northern Toronto, says things have changed markedly in the industry in the last nine months. “Small people are passing away,” he says. “It’s noticeable in our industry. For the first time in over 30 years, we are receiving bulk orders for smaller-sized caskets.”

Typically, the casket industry remains pretty stable, and an unusually big casket order usually indicates a traumatic event, but recent sales indicate that this has changed. “Not only are all sales up, but in the past, for every five full-sized caskets we sold, we sold one youth size. Now, for every five, it’s two youth sized.”

According to Haddock, he and his colleagues in the industry thought they would see an uptick in 2020 when we were being told that covid was lethal and killing people indiscriminately, in their many thousands. But that didn’t happen. “It wasn’t until the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021 that we saw sales increase. We didn’t see any increase in sales before vaccines were introduced, and people started traveling again,” says Haddock. “And I don’t want to blame it on the travel that’s been killing everybody because, in truth, most of these places around the world are still light on what travelers can do. Even accidental deaths are still limited.”

 In fact, in 2020, Haddock saw a 60 percent drop in sales. “It was only once the vaccines were pushed to younger and younger demographics that we started seeing the uptick,” he says. “It was just senior citizens and the very frail at first. Within two months of the approval of the vaccine for the 11- to 15-year-olds, we noticed more demand for smaller units.”

Overall sales have increased by 30 and 40 percent compared to 2019. “It’s staggering how much more there is,” says Haddock. “It started to climb by mid-2021; by 2022, growth was measurable.” 

Haddock’s experience mirrors that of British funeral director John O’Looney of Milton Keynes Family Funeral Services, who went public in September 2021 to explain a similar pattern of death. O’Looney remarked that there was no surge in deaths during the initial covid wave, and if anything, fewer deaths. But after the vaccine was introduced in January 2021, O’Looney said that calls soared, going up 300 percent. “I’ve never seen a death rate like it in 15 years,” he said. “Initially, [the deaths were] all exclusively care homes,” O’Looney said. But after the rollout of the mRNA injection, the deaths were no longer exclusively from nursing homes, and the ages of the dead varied significantly.

O’Looney described a woman in her fifties, fit, a runner, and without health issues, who was given a booster and died of liver failure the following week. Haddock confirms that this measurable increase has all happened in Canada in the last six to seven months, “(Initially) it wasn’t at the rate it is now, but by the time we hit the round of boosters was when we started noticing multiple calls a week from the same (casket) distributors. All casket sales are dramatically up,” he says. It’s just that youth-sized sales are up more than any other category.

While Haddock and his colleagues have seen the greatest increase in sales in the mid-sized category, “everyone is at risk with these vaccines,” he says. “It’s hard to deny. What can it be blamed on? What has changed? Why is the death rate exceeding that of before the vaccines?” he ponders.

Children aged six to 12 are robust human beings. “Now, these are the sizes we are selling,” says Haddock. “Children don’t just die. It doesn’t happen. Never in history.”

Suffer the Little Children

Guest Post by Todd Hayen

I have reported time and again about the insanity behind the vaccine’s approval for children, now from 6 month’s to 5 years. Every time the evildoers need to slash off another slab of meat from the body of humanity they raise the overall pain and suffering a few notches.

This is their final slash—you can’t get much younger than 6 months (unless they will want to vaccinate foetuses, but soon there won’t be any of those around to vaccinate.)

Rather than focus on the heinous act of approving an experimental injection to children who have no say in the matter, and if they did, wouldn’t even begin to comprehend the implications, I am going to focus instead on the efforts of “the agenda” to convince children and their parents it is a good idea to let the hairy monster into their beds so they can be raped by the tentacles of corporate greed and the unconscionable ugliness of human evil.

Sorry for the harshness of such a description. In my opinion it isn’t harsh enough.

I don’t think there is anything more abhorrent in the human playbook of evil than the effort to convince a child to hurt itself in order for the perpetrator of such a crime to benefit. What could be worse? Using the innocence of a child to cause harm for anyone’s benefit is at the top of Satan’s list (or whatever other name you want to give a human’s propensity to sink deeply into the shadowy muck of the dark side).

Come on people, pay attention!

(This demand is not for my readers as I am sure you all are in agreement with this presentation—unless you accidentally stumbled on this article, if so, pay attention.)

There is nothing any of you can say that will justify this tactic of coercing children to “be a superhero” or “be like Elmo” and take this jab “for humanity’s sake.” Nothing. No matter how you twist it all up to support your argument, you simply are wrong. This is evil; this is hateful, hurtful, repugnant, disgusting, and unconscionable. Try me with your argument; give me your best shot.

You can’t do it. There is nothing you can say that will get you out of this.

Again, dear shrew, it is not you this is aimed at. We are warriors for the cause; I am speaking with you here, not to you. If you have any friends or family who might benefit from this lecture, please share. I doubt if it will do much good, but we must keep trying.

Here is what I am talking about.

I will certainly not cover the dozens of examples of using a child’s innocence as a weapon to coerce them to put pressure on their parents and caregivers to be vaccinated. I will only site a few situations I have come across to make my point. If you want further details, or wish to see these examples in the broader context of their situations, of course Google search them or otherwise find the information. The details don’t really change anything, nor does the specific context. These tactics are evil at their core, regardless.

Let me start with the effort to push kids into vaccination through superhero coercion, “be a superhero” is the basic theme of this style of coercion. Bus banner ads, ads in schools, on social media, everywhere you might find a kid. “You aren’t good enough as you are, here is your chance to be better, be a superhero!” So kids, who have it hard enough in today’s cultural climate desperately trying to establish their own personal identity, have to be bludgeoned (by the authority figure “bully”) to go “this path—our path” to be “ok.” Granted, I have not seen any slogans that blatantly say “you aren’t good enough as you are” but clearly any effort in showing kids they can be “better” by identifying with a bigger than life fantasy “superhero” doesn’t need to spell it out.

Let’s just jump over the legal ramifications of all of this. Believe it or not there are laws forbidding such blatantly unethical coercion targeting young people incapable of even understanding a lick of informed consent. No one seems to think any of that ethical and legal stuff to be relevant. That’s right. Laws and ethics don’t matter much when you are about to be gobbled up by some unseen virus monster. “Quick! Get some kids on the altar so we can slash their hearts out as a sacrifice to the

And how about Elmo? Elmo is the Sesame Street children’s icon, which is supposed to be an eternal 3 1/2 year old. He recently succumbed, supposedly voluntarily, to the jab. If Elmo can do it, we all can do it, yea Elmo! —The most selfless red puppet in the world…oops, I mean Muppet™. Get it?

A quote from the paediatrician that Elmo visits in the PSA:

    “I learned that Elmo getting vaccinated is the best way to keep himself, our friends, neighbours and everyone else healthy and enjoying the things they love.”

Oh, please. Sorry, as we all know, that is unadulterated BS, not to mention unscientific, and also untrue. What else? Propaganda? Sure, throw that in for good measure.

Probably the most egregious example of this child coercion was the “Make a Wish” foundation’s effort to force kids into compliance by announcing their effort to ease the pain of terminally ill children was only available to those who are vaccinated.

Granted, due to pressure, they have rescinded this “rule” but come on, really? Terminally ill children need to vaccinate? Sure they do, “to save others” not so unfortunate as to be facing death…well, maybe not.

“Make-A-Wish Foundation is requiring Wish kids, their siblings (and other family members), and “any minors participating in the Wish” to be fully vaccinated before having their wishes granted.”

Nice.

You folks that don’t agree with what I am saying here have your argument put together yet? Like, vaccination is good for the little ones because it prevents Covid, which is raging? Where did you get that one? Your own eyes? Your own experience? I don’t think so.

There is nothing like that going on out there (maybe later when vaccinated people, due to destroyed immune systems, are dropping like flies and unvaccinated people are burying their vaccinated loved ones or visiting them in hospitals).

You heard it because the same people telling you all this other garbage wants you to hear it. And believe it.

Are you going to say we need herd immunity? Or that vaccinating babies is “just the right thing to do to help the community,” really? Since when has sacrificing children been the right thing to do for the community? Oh right, they used to do that to keep the bogeyman away back in cave-man days.

Well, I guess that makes sense then. The mainstream media certainly has told us about a whole bunch of invisible boogeymen. Sure, just like in the old days, we can correlate certain bad things with Covid…people HAVE died and gotten sick…but has that really been because of this new Covid Boogeyman? Could be, but really as bad as they have said? Think.

Going back to the point of this article, to condone these techniques to get kids to take this thing is unconscionable. I don’t care if people are dying on the street from this virus (they aren’t) a civil, and moral, human being does not use shame, fear, and “wanting to belong” as a tactic to get children to comply—to anything medical without clear informed consent. Ever.

Although in my opinion it is immoral and unethical to lie, manipulate and coerce parents to vaccinate their children, it is a special kind of evil to target little children as the focus of your efforts for compliance using their innocence as a tool. This is what pedophiles do, and it is wrong in every way imaginable.

I will conclude with this ubiquitous statement: There is no reason to give this vaccine to anyone, and certainly no reason to give it to children.

I could go on with all the scientific reasons, but everyone has their own brand of science so what I say will not matter. And to be honest, the REAL reasons not to vaccinate your children are not based on science, they are based on those other things that seem to be in shorter and shorter supply these days—compassion, soul, love, and simply being human.

News for Liberty Lovers AKA Drudge Uncucked

It is just wrong to sacrifice children for any reason. Even if the world was indeed going down in flames due to some out of control virus (it isn’t) parents shouldn’t risk their children and offer them to the boogeyman as some sort of compensation.

Maybe people don’t believe they are “sacrificing” them, but they are certainly putting them at risk. It is clear the vaccines do not work as they say they do, and it is clear they are not 100% safe (if parents don’t know this they have been living under a rock and shouldn’t even have children in the first place).

Children do not need this and they do not need to take the risk. Regardless of what Elmo says.

The Globalists Have Planned Out Their Next Depopulation Clot Shot While Unveiling Another New COVID Boogeyman With Their Message To Americans: 'Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid'

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

According to this July 13th story over at CNN, 'the worst variant', BA.5, is here.

Reporting in that story that 'the most infectious and transmissible variant yet has arrived,' that CNN story obviously didn't take into account this story over at the Daily Mail, also published July 13th, which reported Netherlands has just detected the 'Centaurus' subvariant, BA.2.75, "feared to be 'most contagious version yet'."

Also reporting that the 'Centaurus' variant had been found in the UK, US and Germany as well, we'd love to ask them, is it the BA.5 variant, or the BA.2.75 'subvariant', Centaurus, that is the MOST 'contagious and transmissible,' or are the people of the world simply being lied to on a level never seen before by our 'public servants' in government and those who are SUPPOSED to be 'gatekeepers' within the mainstream media?

With those two separate stories referencing two separate 'variants' of the 'virus' that locked down America and the world and pushed us even closer towards tyranny, as both being 'the most contagious variant, yet', none of us should be the least bit surprised that they've just unveiled their latest round of propaganda as well, with the head of the WHO just advising governments across the planet to bring back 'mask mandates' while we're warned on the website UnHerd to 'brace for Winter lockdowns' once again. Who else is NOT ready for even more tyranny in the days, weeks and months ahead?

And after their success in using lockdowns and mail in voting fraud to steal the 2020 election for illegitimate potus 'little joe,' none of us should be the least bit surprised that they are bringing it back for 2022, for what will surely be a 'practice run' for 2024 and 'all of the marbles,' if America makes it that far.

(ANP FUNDRAISER: Due to heavy censorship by 'big tech' upon ANP articles, we're running a fundraising drive. We also want to thank everybody who has donated to ANP over the years. With donations and ad revenue all that keep ANP online, if you're able, please consider donating to ANP to help keep us in this fight for America's future at this absolutely critical time in US history. During a time of systematic, 'big tech' censorship and widespread institutional corruption, truth-seeking media and alternative views are crucial, and EVERY little bit helps more than you could know!)

And as that UnHerd story, also published July 13th by the way, pointed out, at this point, Covid might not be the only 'justification' the globalists use to try to convince the masses why it's in our best interests for them usher in more lockdowns, more restrictions and less freedom, with energy shortages and supply chain issues sure to be felt heavily this Winter being pushed by the globalists as a 'reason why' more lockdowns are needed as well.

So with (fully vaxxed yet still COVID-positive) Dr. Anthony Fauci also recommending Americans wear masks in indoor public gatherings another sign of what is to come, can you imagine a 2020 'redux' in the fall and winter of 2022, the American people being forced to stay at home in the 'name of safety', nothing less than 'tyranny with a smiling face' being pushed in our faces once again?

And with the return of the masked face being pushed by the WHO and Dr. Fauci coming at the same time absolutely reeking of collusion that borders upon treason, we shouldn't be the least bit surprised that they're also talking about just how important it is to 'update the vaccines' to 'target new variants' despite the fact that the vaxxes from the past arguably killed and maimed more people than they 'saved'.

And as this Daily Mail story reports, the White House, via CDC head Rochelle Walensky, is urging 'under-vaccinated' Americans to rush out and take the 'clot shots' that they may have missed as heard in the final (and cringeworthy!) video at the bottom of this story, whether that be the 'booster' (that didn't stop Dr. Fauci from 'getting the COVID') or 'the vaxxes' (which also didn't stop Fauci from getting it!)

So with the globalists fooling nobody (at least none of those who are paying attention) by 'weaponizing' COVID once again, and just in time for another election and another fall and winter as the flu and other viruses are arriving, (sure to get the 'screaming-meemies' to run out and get tested the next time they get the sniffles), as we'll explore in the final section of this story below, expect a major propaganda blitz in the coming weeks as the push to get more Americans vaxxed and more government control are ramped up to a fever pitch. 

And just in case anyone was wondering why practically no one in the medical and health fields are speaking up about this madness, we learn in this July 14th story over at the Daily Mail that indeed, people are quitting the CDC and NIH 'in droves' due to the 'bad science' they've been pushing. While they are a little bit late, at least they're speaking up now. From that Daily Mail story.:

Two of America's top health agencies are reportedly hemorrhaging staff as poor decision-making, described by staff as 'bad science,' has led to low morale.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are both suffering staff shortages, according to Dr. Marty Makary, a top public-health expert at Johns Hopkins University, writes at Common Sense, the Substack run by former New York Times columnist, Bari Weiss.

Major decisions made by the agencies that hurt morale included support for masking in schools, school closures during the pandemic and the authorization of COVID-19 vaccines for children four and under.

Both agencies, along with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have been mired in controversy throughout the pandemic for inconsistent messaging and for decision-making that didn't seem to line up with available science.

'They have no leadership right now. Suddenly, there's an enormous number of jobs opening up at the highest level positions,' an anonymous NIH scientist told Common Sense.

With that 'no leadership' remark clearly leading straight up the food chain to Joe Biden, Kamala and crew, as all of the top-voted comments on that story we've published below pointed out, this lack of trust of US leadership in 2022 is by no means 'new', and all such 'health agencies' are clearly compromised.: 

tmck, Philadelphia, United States: "All science that has been politicized by the Democrat party is not science, it's just political control."

Estevan en Tejas, el estado más grande, United States: "Not a single mention of this in the American corporate media. They're just as bad if not worse than these agencies." 

RollMeoverRomeo, Eldorado, Greenland:  "How about the comprised WHO?"

Libpocracy99, The other Jersey, United States: "Here's my shocked face - and so many of you lapped up their mis-information like the good little sheep that you are. Pathetic."

40 Million in US West Without Water in 2023 – Dane Wigington

By Greg Hunter On July 16, 2022 In Political Analysis 180 Comments

Climate engineering researcher Dane Wigington says the extreme drought conditions in the U.S. are caused by man-made weather modification called geoengineering.  It’s not some naturally occurring event, but an “engineered drought catastrophe.”  Wigington says after decades of climate engineering, things are getting so bad that millions in the Southwestern United States will be without water sometime in 2023.  Wigington explains, “The mainstream media and official sources are doing their best to sweep it under the rug.  We are talking about 40 million people that will be impacted by the drying out of the Colorado River basin and tributaries.”

Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Tucson and Las Vegas are the few of the cities that are already struggling with severe water conservation restrictions.  Wigington says, “Drought caused by man-made weather modification is not coming, it’s here now and will only get worse from here on out. . . . There is no speculation, no hypothesis or conjecture in any of this.  Climate engineering is the primary cause for the protracted drought, and not just in the U.S. but in many other parts of the world.  It also causes a deluge scenario, and all of it is crushing crops.  We can speculate to the motives and agendas behind those who run these operations, but the fact that climate engineering is the primary causal factor for the western drought is inarguable.”

When will this all take place?  Wigington’s data says, “When Lake Mead reaches the ‘dead-pool’ status, and we are not there yet, the estimations are the dead-pool might be early next year.  Prior to that, right now, we are talking about extreme water rationing.  That means the crops are being cut off now.  It’s not coming, it’s happening now. . . . Water for irrigation is long since gone, and there will be no electrical power generation. . . . The evaporation levels are far higher than what has been disclosed.  That means lake levels will drop far faster than even the worst-case official predictions right now.  This is a runaway train of total cataclysm, and those in power are preventing anyone from even discussing this issue down to the point that there is an illegal federal gag order on the nation’s weathermen at the National Weather Service and NOAA.”

According to Wigington, one city will be spared from drying out for a while, and that is Las Vegas.  There is a tunnel 600 feet below the surface of Lake Mead that will take water to Sin City long after the lake becomes a dead-pool and the Colorado River stops flowing.  Wigington says, “This was an extraordinary engineering project.  The only one of its type in many ways. . . . They had to have a specially designed tunnel boring machine for the 24-foot-wide tunnel that is designed to suck every last drop of water out of Lake Mead.”  The project cost $1.5 billion.

Wigington says what is happening is being hidden for as long as possible, but what needs to happen now is to immediately stop man-made weather modification.  Wigington says, “They can and are using this as a weapon to control food production and control populations in various regions. . . . This is a fight for life.  People think if they get their shots and wear their masks that their life will go back to normal.  It’s not going to happen. . . . Climate engineering is stopping the planet from recovering. . . It’s a weapon. . . . We have to stop it or we are done.”

There is much more in the 43-minute interview.

Mysterious red pillar of light appears in the sky over alien base in Tamaulipas and Veracruz in Mexico (pictures and videos)

Jul 16, 2022

On July 14, 2022, a mysterious red light was observed in the sky of Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico.

It was also observed in municipalities in the northern state of Veracruz.

It is believed that an alien base sits in the area…

Scientists think the phenomenon was caused by the reflection of small ice crystals that are suspended in the atmosphere…

In the middle of Mexican SUMMER? Of course!

This strange sky phenomenon occurred a day after an insane shelf cloud engulfed Miramar beach in Ciudad Madero in the exact same area.

It is believed that an alien base is located off Miramar beach in Ciudad Madero.

Health Ranger Store: Best US-made, non-GMO superfoods… JUST TRY IT! GREAT PREPAREDNESS PRODUCTS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!…

Members of the Association of Scientific UFO Research of Tamaulipas, or Aicot, believe that an inter-dimensional underwater base of extraterrestrial origin has protected the coastal cities of Ciudad Madero and Tampico from hurricanes for more than 50 years.

Aicot’s president, Juan Carlos Ramón López Díaz, claims to have visited the base – known as Amupac – via astral projection, which he says he induced through meditation and a pescatarian diet.

Ciudad Madero suffered four direct landfalls in the 20th century, including Hurricane Inez in 1966 which killed 74 people in Mexico alone.

López and his allies believe that the base was established some time after that.

Explanations of exactly how and why the alien visitors are protecting Ciudad Madero vary, even among fellow investigators. López believes it’s not Amupac itself, but the esoteric power of Aicot members’ belief in the base. “The collective mind is charged with this concept, so it generates a large force field of repulsion,” he said.

There is also talk of magnetic fields and a series of meter-long bars of an aluminum, iron and copper alloy secretly buried in the seafloor near Miramar Beach at the suggestion of the visitors over four decades ago.

Others claim that the aliens are only interested in protecting their base, and Ciudad Madero is just lucky they took a liking to this small corner of the galaxy.

Still others simply accept the apparently inexplicable, said Marco Flores, the former official historian of Tampico. “If science gives us no explanation we’ll get one from magic,” he said. “Fantasy is always more attractive than reality.”

Showers and possible electrical discharges are expected for the southern zone, with gusts of up to 70 kilometers per hour for this day, due to a low pressure channel in interaction with the humidity of the Gulf of Mexico. [El Financiero, Milenio]

Space war: While China unveils chilling AI satellite swarms that hunt down and destroy enemy targets, Russia is building new laser weapons to disable foreign satellites – What about the US? Europe?

Jul 14, 2022

Chinese scientists said they could now launch hundreds of mini satellites – dubbed “cubesats” – from a large motherboard in space with deadly precision and speed.

Weighing in at 2.2lbs, these tiny satellites are so complex they can only be controlled by Artificial Intelligence (AI).

According to researchers, the complexity of a large scale space battle would be so immense that it’s beyond the human brain and even beyond some powerful algorithms.

The study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Chinese Space Science and Technology, said unlocking the right AI to control the motherboard and cubesats would have “strong economic and military value”.

It comes as China alleges Elon Musk’s SpaceX satellites came “dangerously close” to their new space station twice last year – and threatened to shoot them down.

Months later, Chinese and US satellites had a game of “geostationary orbit cat and mouse”, according to the report.

Zhang Jin, who led research into the deadly swarms, said the cubesats could be used to patrol and defend against attack from rouge forces in space using sophisticated AI algorithms that tells the drones when and how to attack.

Researchers have dubbed this the “multi-round greedy search” strategy and can instruct up to four motherboards to attack nine hostile targets in less than a day.

When put to the test, the algorithm was able instruct cubesats to destroy enemy targets in four minutes – 227 times faster than a generic algorithm which took more than three hours.

It’s also extremely efficient and can plot routes that require the least amount of fuel and energy – meaning the swarms can stay in combat for longer.

“In the future, we will add randomness to the search strategy to overcome the limitations of the greedy algorithm and obtain global optimal results,” Professor Zhang said.

It comes as Beijing claimed it has developed an anti-satellite AI system that has mastered the art of deception.

Beijing has also developed drone swarms capable of hunting down human targets

According to the Morning Post, a trial of the lethal system found AI controlled three small satellites to approach and capture a high-value target and repeated the exercise thousands of times.

China has also launched an AI drone mothership able to operate and potentially launch military attacks autonomously in a chilling world-first.

According to the Chinese, the vessel is designed for marine research but already there have been fears it could be used to launch attacks on the US Navy and other adversaries.

The Zhu Hai Yun can hit top speeds of 20 miles per hour and can reportedly carry around 50 aerial, surface, and underwater drones.

Meanwhile, experts have warned drone warfare could soon look like something out of Star Wars.

Beijing has invested heavily into drone warfare over the past decade as the regime aims to achieve its goal of military parity with the US by 2049.

Ex-marine Brendan Mulvaney told The Sun: “If we wait 10 or more years before we see a major conflict, the scope and scale of drones are going to change a lot.

“You may have effective and larger munitions coming off drones, but smaller drones could be weaponized to the point where you have this intermingling of a long-range autonomous weapon.

“We often think of aviation drones but there’s a whole suite of unmanned vehicles that bring more capability, making it more challenging for the adversaries.”

Drone expert Seth Frantzman said: “Drones will not just slam into a ship with people on board.

“Drones from the air could attack machines in the sea and we could see something that looks more like Star Wars.” [SCMP1, SCMP2, Sun]

Russia building new laser weapon to disable foreign satellites

Deep in the Greater Caucasus mountain range, Russia is constructing a new laser weapon to be used for “electro-optical warfare,” disabling foreign satellites passing over Russian territory.

Construction of the Kalina project, which started in 2011, is underway in the Krona space surveillance complex located at the Chapal mountain peak.

Kalina’s goal, as written in a bank guarantee document from January 2014, is “creating a system for the functional suppression of electro-optical systems of satellites” using lasers.

The “space security complex,” as it is described in a 2017 document, is a “special quantum-optical system” to be used for “electro-optical warfare,” according to Precision Instrument Systems (NPK SPP), a Russian scientific and industrial corporation, who was given the contract for the project by the Russian Defense Ministry.

The project has been delayed several times and progress has been extremely slow, the report noted, citing a newsletter published by the contractors in 2016. One possible setback came in the form of the liquidation of NPTs Femto, the company tasked with developing an adaptive optics system for the project, in 2021.

Kalina was also likely delayed by the economic sanctions imposed on Russia since the 2014 annexation of Crimea and the more-recent wave of sanctions imposed by the West due to Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

Russia’s new space toy

Kalina features a new telescope used to accurately aim laser beams at satellites, housed in a specially-constructed building built to withstand earthquakes up to magnitude seven.

The laser beams are routed via mirrors and enter and the telescope through an opening on its side, after which they are reflected back, causing them to form an image of the targeted object in a detector.

While the telescope, along with a tunnel connecting it to the laser optical locator (LOL) located in Krona, is already in place, it is impossible to tell how much much internal hardware is installed, the investigation admitted.

Kalina is the latest of a new generation of Russian laser systems developed in recent years, including Peresvet, a mobile laser system first announced by President Vladimir Putin in 2018 which Moscow said had advanced so far it could blind orbiting satellites and destroy drones.

And what about the US and the other ‘western’ powers around the world! I doubt they have or even working on such cutting-edge weapon projects… Meanwhile, they are more interested in selling their old and defect weapons to Ukraine… [The Space Review, JPost]

Social life helps orphaned elephants overcome loss: study

Issued on: 16/07/2022 - 15:32Modified: 16/07/2022 - 15:30

 Paris (AFP) – Orphaned elephants manage to overcome the loss of their mother by living in a herd, highlighting the importance of a social support for the species, according to a study.

Scientists investigated the consequences of a mother elephant's death on her child by examining the level of stress hormones in the excrement of 37 young elephants in Kenya between 2015 and 2016.

Among the young elephants, 25 had lost their mother between one and 19 years before from poaching or drought.

Of the 25 orphans, 20 stayed within the same family unit after the mother's death, while five joined an unrelated group.

The researchers found that stress hormones were at similar levels in the long term among orphans and the other elephants, even though the former were expected to show more stress symptoms in the absence of maternal care.

Any stress among the orphans did not last long, showing their "resilience" and the effect of social support from the other elephants, said Jenna Parker, the main author of the study published this week in the journal Communications Biology.

The importance of family links was obvious when observing elephant herds, Parker told AFP.

The young rarely stray more than 10 metres (33 feet) away from their mother and "incredible" reunions involving the entire group were seen after a few hours of separation, said the researcher at Colorado State University in the United States.

When poachers or hunters kill an elephant, that social cohesion disintegrates and threatens the group's wellbeing, particularly the young ones left orphaned, she said.

The bond between a baby elephant and its mother is believed to be strong even after weaning.

'Playmates'

Parker and her colleagues investigated how orphaned elephants felt by measuring the quantity of hormones they release when faced with stress.

The hormones can be found in blood, saliva, urine and faeces. The last option was chosen as the most reliable and widespread way to measure stress in wild animals because it is non-invasive, Parker said.

Only the excrement of young females aged between two and 20 in the Samburu and Buffalo Springs reserves in northern Kenya was used, with males less easy to track because they are less attached to their original herd.

Scientists also found lower stress levels among young elephants growing up in groups with more animals of a similar age, suggesting that "playmates" are essential for them.

The results could guide orphanages to provide companions of the same age to help orphaned elephants.

The study also concluded that releasing groups of orphaned elephants together after they were linked during captivity could facilitate their transition to living in the wild.

Satellite Imagery Shows Global Crop Declines – Except For Russia And China

Infrared satellite imagery designed to measure moisture levels and the health of farmlands suggests that staple crops such as wheat are in poor condition and in sharp decline among major exporters ...

BY TYLER DURDEN  SATURDAY, JUL 16, 2022 - 11:00 PM

Infrared satellite imagery designed to measure moisture levels and the health of farmlands suggests that staple crops such as wheat are in poor condition and in sharp decline among major exporters including the Ukraine, the US and India.  Two countries do have bumper crops so far though; namely Russia and China. 

It is hard to say which governments and institutions monitor this data, but a few months ago a multitude of political leaders and global banks issued simultaneous warnings of a “global food shortage” and an impending crisis.  Such institutions included the IMF, World Bank, the BIS and even the White House.  So far, a perfect storm of stagflation, supply chain disruptions and poor weather conditions have combined to disrupt food production around the world.

Price inflation due to central bank stimulus measures has been enough to do incredible damage to the many national economies, but a single bad year for crops on top of this could spell disaster. 

Russia and China, on the other hand, are enjoying a strategic advantage.  As we entered spring of this year, the mainstream media heralded the end of the Russian economy and the swift collapse of their war efforts in Ukraine.  Today, Russia is selling more oil and exporting more commodities than ever before, and both Russia and China now have the most healthy staple crops in the world.  It's almost as if the public in the west has been deliberately misled about our economic strength.  

Sadly, many people in the west have forgotten the importance of commodities, industry and energy in terms of geopolitical leverage.  Without dominance of these three arenas there is no chance for a nation or group of nations to dictate terms to a country that has such advantages.  Economic warfare is about independent production and adaptability; these are two things the US and Europe do not have right now. 

With declines in crop exports, food prices will rise even further this year and there is also the possibility that Russia could cut off the EU and other nations from access to their agricultural market.  Though the Kremlin says this will not happen, given the right trigger event it remains a legitimate threat.  Already this month Europe is on the edge of an economic cliff as they wait to see if the Russian “maintenance shutdown” of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline is actually temporary, or the beginning of a full bore energy crisis that will last for years.         

In other words, the temptation for the eastern nations to use food as a weapon against NATO countries will be just as high on their list as oil and gas.  With food and energy stability in doubt there is also a considerable danger of civil unrest.  Third world nations are likely to see the worst of the shortages, but price inflation in necessities is here to stay for first world countries as well.  And along with that comes all the associated economic problems, including rising crime, rising unemployment and rising poverty.

Europe is consumed by 'tunnels of fire' in 'extreme heat' of 117F: Firefighters battle blazes in France, Portugal and Spain as thousands are evacuated while Europe bakes in record temperatures

    Armies of firefighters battled fires in France, Portugal and Spain after five days of sweltering temperatures

    French President Emmanuel Macron vowed authorities would do everything possible to mobilise resources

    2,000 firefighters tackled infernos in Portugal - with five regions on 'red alert' after reaching 47C (116.6F)

    In Mijas in southern Spain, 2,300 people were forced to evacuate their homes after forest fires broke out

By Stewart Carr For Mailonline Published: 04:07 EDT, 16 July 2022 | Updated: 13:47 EDT, 17 July 2022

Southwest Europe baked under sweltering temperatures on Friday for a fifth day, with the heat sparking devastating wildfires, forcing the evacuations of thousands and ruining holidays.

Armies of firefighters battled blazes in France, Portugal and Spain as Britain braced for 'extreme heat' in coming days and even Irish forecasters predicted a taste of blistering Mediterranean-style summer temperatures.

As French President Emmanuel Macron vowed authorities would do everything to mobilise resources to fight the fallout, the Bordeaux public prosecutor indicated a 'criminal' origin was its main line of inquiry for at least one fire near the southwestern city.

The furnace engulfing swathes of southwest Europe is the second in weeks, with scientists blaming climate change and predicting more frequent and intense episodes of extreme weather.

Some of the worst fires have been in Portugal, where the pilot of a firefighting plane died on Friday when his plane crashed while on an operation in the north east.

In Portugal, five regions in the centre and north - where temperatures hit a July record 47 Celsius on Thursday before dropping back - were on red alert again Friday as more than 2,000 firefighters tackled four major blazes.

Spain was struggling to contain several fires, including two that have burned about 7,400 hectares or 18,200 acres.

In southern Andalusia, Spain, 3,000 people were evacuated from villages in danger from a blaze started near the village of Mijas in the province of Malaga.

The mercury reached 45.4C in Spain on Thursday, shy of the all-time high of 47.4C registered in August last year.

Temperature-related deaths have surged in Spain this week amid a heatwave that has kept temperatures above 40C in many areas.

According to Spain's Carlos III Institute, which records temperature-related fatalities daily, 237 deaths were attributed to high temperatures from July 10-14.

That was compared to 25 temperature-related deaths the previous week.

In southwestern France, flames have destroyed some 7,700 hectares since Tuesday and forced the evacuation of 11,000 people - including many holidaymakers who decided to abandon their vacation rather than remain in makeshift shelters set up by local authorities.

Southern France, battling temperatures around 40C on Friday, is bracing for more heat next week with 16 departments already on orange, a severe alert.

Across the Mediterranean, authorities said one person was found dead in northern Morocco as forest fires raged. Authorities also evacuated hundreds of people from more than a dozen villages in northwestern Morocco.

One fire was raging in pine forests near France's Dune du Pilat, Europe's tallest sand dune and a magnet for tourists.

'I've never seen this before and you get the feeling that it's post-apocalyptic,' said resident Karyn on Thursday shortly before the preventative evacuation order at Cazaux village near the dune. Etc..

Fire commander Laurent Dellac spoke of 'tunnels of fire' around Teste-de-Buch, in the middle of the Landes forest to Bordeaux's southwest - although nobody was reported hurt.

'The blazes are still not under control, and unfortunately conditions are windy again,' firefighter spokesman Matthieu Jomain told AFP.

Britain's meteorological agency meanwhile issued its first ever 'red' warning for exceptional heat with nights exceptionally warm.

A high of 32C was possible on Monday, Met Eireann said, just short of Ireland's record high 33.3C set in 1887.

Belgian authorities said they expected much higher temperatures next week, with a high of 38C in parts of the country forecast for Tuesday.

Scientists blame the increasing regularity of heatwaves on global warming.

'Climate change is driving this heatwave, just as it is driving every heatwave now,' said Friederike Otto, senior lecturer in climate science at the Grantham Institute at Imperial College London.

'Greenhouse gas emissions, from burning fossil fuels like coal, gas and oil, are making heatwaves hotter, longer-lasting and more frequent,' she said.

Oxford University students run for their lives as terrifying wildfire surrounds their Algarve villa

Seven terrified university friends had to run for their lives as a wildfire reached their Algarve villa. Ash was falling into the pool as they frantically crammed into a car and escaped the furious flames closing in on them.

The friends - including 22-year-old Millie Farley from Wombourne - had jetted off for a week in the Portuguese sunshine to celebrate their time at the University of Oxford coming to an end. But things took a dramatic turn in the early hours of Thursday morning on July 14.

Wildfires had been raging about 1-2km from their Airbnb villa, near Quinto Verde, for most of the day. Millie told BirminghamLive they'd been worried about sleeping through the night so had set an alarm for 3am to keep a lookout - a decision that potentially saved their lives.

When the alarm went off, they checked outside and could see a 'very small, seemingly insignificant bonfire-like fire' about 100m away. Millie said: 'We decided to stay up and keep an eye on it to make sure that it was nothing to be concerned about.

'After about 20 minutes of anxious waiting, we stood up to head back outside. The image that greeted me when I pulled back the curtains to open our patio door is something that will haunt me for a long time - flames were literally less than 2m from my window, ash was falling into the pool and the sky was lit up in a fiery orange glow.'

She continued: 'It was genuinely terrifying. We screamed to wake everyone up and grabbed our passports as we ran out of the front door to the car. Without hesitating we drove at rapid speeds down the lane, seven of us crammed into a little Fiat Panda.'

As they sped off, Millie said they were so worried that the fire would block the path, our only exit to the main road. 'Luckily we sped out just in time,' she said. 'The fire spread rapidly behind us, burning down trees and bushes in its path.'

Millie Farley, 22 from Wombourne said: ' flames were literally less than 2m from my window, ash was falling into the pool and the sky was lit up in a fiery orange glow.'

Around two hours later, the friends were told it was safe to return to the villa and collect their things. While one of the group decided to call it a day and flew home shortly after the morning's dramatic events, the six remaining friends arranged alternative accommodation in Faro before flying home on Friday July 15.

Millie, who studied modern languages, said: 'There was no water or electricity as the wires were burnt through, but we could pack our cases and leave. The surroundings of the villa were completely blackened and the ground was still smouldering - we could barely breathe through the smoke.

'To be honest, we could have probably stayed in the same villa because it wasn't physically damaged from the fire and the groundskeeper was going to fix the wires. For us it was more the traumatic experience that prevented us from returning, the area is dry and barren - it's a disaster waiting to happen.'

A number of celebrities have also been caught up in the wildfires. Former Dragons' Den star Duncan Bannatyne tweeted to say he'd been forced to flee his mansion during what he described as a 'terrible day in the Algarve'.

Rebecca Vardy, is also believed to be holidaying with her children in Portugal. She shared a video of a helicopter carrying water on her Instagram story with the caption 'these guys are incredible'.

Biden’s New Iran Deal Offers Iran $1 Trillion by 2030 – This Is Treasonous

By Richard Abelson  Published July 15, 2022 at 9:30am

Joe Biden had the Israeli flag removed to enter East Jerusalem

Stumbling through the Middle East this week, calling the Holocaust an “honor” and removing the Israeli flag from his limo to go visit Palestinian terrorists in East Jerusalem – the first American President to ever visit Arab-occupied East Jerusalem – may not be the worst crime Joe Biden committed this week.

Biden yesterday reaffirmed his commitment to returning to the 2015 JCPOA nuclear deal with Iran– a deal which saw the Obama government send $100 billion to Iran, including a C-130 Hercules carrying $400 million in cash on January 16, 2016, as CNN reported. The Islamist regime then used that money to wage war in Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq, Gaza and around the world, massively destablizing the world.

Now, Biden’s offer to the Ayatollahs threatens to dwarf even that gargantuan act of treason.

“Under the deal, Iran gets a financial package worth up to $275 billion in the first year and as much as $800 billion over the next five”, writes Richard Goldberg, Senior Advisor at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. “With a trillion dollars available by 2030 for Iran’s missile program, sponsorship of terrorism and Revolutionary Guard, the agreement enables Tehran to set a dozen more fires around the Middle East that force a US response to defend American citizens, embassies and allies. And in the end, without demanding a full accounting of Iran’s nuclear activities or destroying a single centrifuge, the deal’s expiration dates all but guarantee Iran will still cross the nuclear threshold at a future time of its choosing.”

“To be sure, Russia and China would like nothing more than to see an America bogged down by never-ending Iranian nuclear extortion and escalation. That is why they are the strongest proponents of a nuclear deal with Iran. They know that the more money Iran has available for terrorism, missiles and nuclear expansion in the Middle East, the more American time and resources will consistently be diverted from Asia and Europe to mitigate the latest Iran-sponsored crisis. That, unfortunately, is a strategic reality supporters of an Iran nuclear deal fail to grasp”, Goldberg writes.

 House to move toward vote on assault weapons ban

by Mike Lillis - 07/15/22 8:37 AM ET

House Democrats will soon vote to move an assault weapons ban to the floor, marking the first time in decades that Congress has put lawmakers on record barring the popular firearms.

The announcement came Friday morning from Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, who said the panel will stage its markup of the bill on Wednesday.

The move comes in response to a series of recent, high-profile mass shootings around the country, including a massacre in May at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, where 19 children and two teachers were killed, and another at a July Fourth parade in Highland Park, Ill., which left seven people dead.

In both cases, the alleged shooter was a young man using an AR-style semi-automatic rifle, which is a chief target of the Democrats’ legislation.  

“It is beyond frightening and disturbing that a weapon that was designed as a tool of war has found its way into the hands of 18 year olds and onto our streets,” Nadler said in a statement. “Any weapon that allows for the quick and efficient slaughter of children in our schools has no place in our communities.”

The bill, sponsored by Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.), would prohibit the sale, transfer, import and manufacture of hundreds of models of semi-automatic weapons that boast certain specific features, including those that combine pistol grips with detachable magazines. The ban would not apply to people who already own such weapons.

Those firearms rank among the most popular in the country, and opponents of the ban — including all but a handful of Republicans — say it would trample on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners.

Supporters counter that the Constitution, written in an age of single-shot muzzle loaders, was not intended to apply to much more powerful and efficient weapons, especially since they’ve been the popular choice of perpetrators in countless mass shootings over the past decade. 

“How many more kids need to die in their schools before we finally crack down on these dangerous firearms which were designed for war?” said Cicilline.

It’s unclear when, or if, the bill would come to the floor after it passes through the Judiciary Committee, as expected. The ban is wildly popular among House Democrats — Cicilline’s bill has 211 Democratic co-sponsors — but several moderates facing tough reelection contests are not on board.

“I don’t believe in bans on weapons,” Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) said recently.

Still, liberal Democrats have been clamoring for a vote, if only to get Republicans on record opposing a concept that has widespread popular support. And Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday promoted the ban as an effective public safety measure, while suggesting the Democrats have the votes to pass it on the floor.

“There is great support in our caucus for an assault weapon ban,” she said. “It’s about our children. More children die from gun violence in each year than cancer, car accidents or anything.”

Bernie Sanders endorsed Mandela Barnes in Wisconsin Senate race

The decision to move the legislation, even at the committee level, reflects the seismic shift in public attitudes when it comes to gun reform, which was considered a third rail on Capitol Hill two decades ago, particularly for Democrats whose support for the 1994 assault weapons ban was considered a factor in securing George W. Bush’s White House victory in 2000. That ban expired in 2004.

Since then, the country has seen a long string of prominent mass shootings, including violence targeting a congresswoman in Tucson, Ariz., elementary school students in Newtown, Conn., nightclubbers in Orlando, Fla., churchgoers in Charleston, S.C., country music fans in Las Vegas, high schoolers in Parkland, Fla., and Jews praying at a synagogue in Pittsburgh.

The carnage has altered the public’s perception of federal firearm policies in drastic ways, and Congress last month enacted a bipartisan package of reforms designed to promote public safety. It did not include the Democrats’ favored reforms, including a broad expansion of background checks and the assault weapons ban.

Scorching summer heatwave throws Britain into more chaos

Red alert, with potential power outages, danger to life triggered for first time

Published:  July 16, 2022 17:17 Bloomberg

London: After strikes, transport disruption, soaring inflation, a jump in COVID-19 infections and even the resignation of its prime minister, now the sweltering summer is about to add to the havoc in the UK.

The Met Office issued its most severe warning for next week, with temperatures set to rise above 35 degrees Celsius (95 Fahrenheit) in parts of England, including London, and might hit national records exceeding 40 degrees. The red alert, with potential power outages, cancelled flights and a danger to life, was triggered for the first time and is in place for Monday and Tuesday.

The government has convened an emergency Cobra meeting on Saturday to prepare contingency plans for the heatwave. While Transport for London advised customers to only travel if necessary.

It all adds to the chaos in a nation that’s grappling with messy politics and a wilting economy. While supermarkets expect ice cream sales to also reach records and coastal resorts welcome people to cool down, the custodians of the UK’s infrastructure are flagging the worst-case scenarios.

The electricity infrastructure is straining under the heat and as cooling systems ramp up, a lack of wind is reducing supplies. The railway network, which in the past has seen cables snap and tracks buckle, is reducing speed on services. The National Health Service is concerned hospitals that are already overwhelmed will see a spike in patients suffering from the heat.

‘This is not that sort of weather’

“In this country, we’re used to treating a hot spell as a chance to go and play in in the sun,” said Penny Endersby, the Met Office’s chief executive officer. “This is not that sort of weather.”

Searing temperatures across Europe have crippled agriculture in France, forced Spain to cut water supply in some regions and triggered a state of emergency in parts of Italy. But while more drastic this year, increasingly hot summers aren’t as unusual as they are in Britain. Greece, for example, regularly experiences deadly wildfires.

Weather-watchers in the UK have been more focused of late on how cold it might get in winter with energy bills due to jump again in October and exacerbating an already painful cost-of-living crisis.

The UK had taken a break from images of cancelled trains, hours-long lines at airports and missing luggage to watch Prime Minister Boris Johnson announce his resignation following a series of scandals involving his conduct. The news this week has been dominated by the race to replace him “- but also the weather.

The latest warning is an escalation from forecasts in recent days, when the Met Office expected next week’s temperatures would likely reach the mid- to high- 30s.

The heat is set to put added strain on a UK energy system that’s already under pressure from soaring natural gas prices. London office buildings will be ramping up electricity demand to keep workers cool. That could increase the load on some grid infrastructure that’s not able to transmit as much power when ambient temperatures rise.  Britain’s network is designed for extreme temperatures but operators in the areas affected by the Met Office’s red warning have escalated preparations for the heatwave, according to the industry lobby group.

More and more examples of extremes

On the generation side, the high-pressure system that’s bringing the heat also creates low winds that sap Britain of one of its biggest sources of cheap energy. Wind farms are set to generate less than 2 gigawatts of power on Monday, leaving the electricity grid more reliant on expensive natural gas. Solar will help lighten the burden, but the UK’s fleet of farms is much smaller than its wind power potential.

“Our services and infrastructure are designed to cope with ‘normal’ weather, and many organisations have plans in place to deal with what they think of as ‘extreme’ conditions,” said Nigel Arnell, professor of climate system science at the University of Reading. “However, we’re seeing more and more examples of extremes, and we’ve also seen evidence that we’re not as well prepared as we thought.”

When it comes to transportation, Britain already faces a summer of train chaos, with several labor unions planning July walkouts over pay and conditions after travel across the country was previously halted in June.

Now Network Rail is warning of severe disruption on Monday and Tuesday, with blanket speed restrictions due to be put in place in England and Wales between 12 p.m. and 8 p.m. on both days, according to a spokesman. The rail network advises people only to travel if necessary.

London’s transport authority said that while it has hot weather plan in to protect its network and keep services running, temporary speed restrictions will be introduced on parts of its network on Monday and Tuesday as a precaution. The measures will likely result in a reduced service and delays.

‘Due to the exceptionally hot weather that is expected next week, customers should only use London’s transport network for essential journeys,’ TfL Chief Operating Officer Andy Loard said in a statement.

Drivers are being warned to take water to stay hydrated and to allow more time for travel. National Highways, though, said the nation’s motorways and main roads are built to endure extreme weather, including the heat.

The acute strain could be felt in the NHS. The health system is already under pressure with a huge backlog of patients awaiting treatment that was delayed during the pandemic lockdowns. Staff shortages are also pushing up wait times in accident and emergency wards while ambulance response times have also gotten significantly worse.

The situation will be aggravated by a new wave of COVID cases, driven by highly contagious Omicron subvariants. Nearly 1 in 19 people in England tested positive in the week ending July 6, according to the latest Office for National Statistics data published on Friday. That was up from 1 in 25 the week before, and the surge is pushing up hospitalizations. 

A heatwave will only make the situation worse as people seek treatment for heat stroke. Staff in emergency wards also typically have to treat more drink-related injuries as people socialize and consume alcohol in the warm weather.

Indeed, there’s pressure on retailers too, though more to keep the nation in supply of its summer quenchers.

Supermarket chain Tesco Plc expects to sell more than 9 million ice creams and lollies in the coming week, a record. The supermarket also expects to sell 9 million bottles and cans of beer and 50,000 bottles of Pimms, the classic British summer gin-based fruit drink.

The good news is that the sizzling heat is usually short-lived, at least that’s what farmers are counting on, according to Jack Ward, chief executive of the British Growers Association. That said, the impact of low rainfall is also being felt like elsewhere on the continent.

Peas, lettuce and apples are particularly susceptible, he said, and crops can’t be shielded. “It’s not catastrophic “- it happens,” said Ward. “Extreme heat is uncomfortable for people and plants. But if it doesn’t go on for too long it will have an impact, but we’ll get through it.”

Today around 4pm I received a call from my source at the Billings Regional Landfill that Sam's Club was unloading now their 3rd roll off truck full of frozen foods. The full load dumped and destroyed was roughly 40-50k TONS of frozen food. This was all being monitored for full destruction at the landfill. Apperently their main Freezer went out over night due to a Freon leak and the exhaust vent was pumping hot air in. This was also confirmed by another source who works for an answering service here in town that takes the repair company calls.

Roughly 30 minutes later i get a text from the same Call Service source stating they recieved a repair call for Costco because their big meat cooler had been down for an unknown amount of time and they were also loading up product to dispose of. Im waiting to hear back from a contact at Costco to see how much was lost.

Then around 6pm I get a call from a friend who has inside info on the walmart in Laurel, MT (only 12 minites outside billings city limits) saying they also had a freezer fail and we loading up 20k+ tons of "spoiled food" into roll off trucks to destroy.

Then around 6:45pm my landfill source got a call about a fire on the trash pile (the same pile all the food was sent to). This fire was burning hot and black. We have been watching them put it out for almost 2 hours now.

"Now do you think any of this food will be replenished'? Do you think they will be sending more food to the biggest city in Montana? My guess is not. If they do it will be nowhere near the amount to recover the loss. SQ-PICTURE OF LAND FILL FIRE HAS BEEN SENT TO ME AND WILL UPDATE!MEN IN SUITS OVERSEEING DESTRUCTION OF FOOD -BOTH ON SITES AND AT DUMP!

Germany won’t survive winter without Russian gas – official

The president of the national energy regulator has warned that Germany doesn’t have sufficient gas reserves

Germany’s natural gas reserves are not enough to see the country through next winter without purchasing additional Russian gas, the top official in charge of electricity and gas networks has told the media.

In an interview with Germany’s Bild am Sonntag, published on Sunday, Klaus Muller warned that while “gas reservoirs are nearly 65% full,” and “it’s better than in the previous weeks” it is still not sufficient to “go through the winter without Russian gas.”

Muller, who is president of Germany’s Federal Network Agency, added that much now depends on whether maintenance work on the Nord Stream 1 pipeline concludes as expected on Thursday.

When asked how long it would take before energy prices for consumers in Germany are further raised, in case of a complete stoppage of Russian gas deliveries, Muller said no decision has yet been made. However, he offered reassurances, noting that “there hasn’t been any significant price surge this week, even though the Nord Stream 1 was shut off.” The official suggested this may be a sign that “markets have already internalized the loss of Russian gas supplies and we’ve reached a gas-price-plateau.”

The energy regulator president insisted that Germans “shouldn’t succumb to panic,” assuring that “private households have the least reason of all to worry,” and will be provided with gas far longer than industry.

Moreover, according to the official, “there’s no scenario in which we remain completely without gas.” Muller noted that even if Russia were to cut supplies entirely, other countries like Norway, the Netherlands and Belgium would still be selling the fossil fuels to Germany. In future, the country’s own liquefied natural gas terminal will also make a difference, the network agency’s president added.

Muller said if gas rationing occurs, the agency will weigh up the potential damage to the economy and supply chains from shutting off supplies to any particular business or industrial plant.

The official went on to claim that even if there is a shortage, it will likely affect only the parts of Germany which are at the end of the gas network.

Muller also dismissed suggestions that Berlin should ban any gas exports to neighboring European countries, stressing the importance of solidarity.

“Just like we are now benefiting from the liquefied natural gas ports in Belgium and the Netherlands,” Germany would lend its neighbors a helping hand should they face a severe gas shortage, the official pledged.

Muller predicted that Germany has two difficult winters ahead, with a risk of gas shortages, but by summer 2024 the country will be independent from Russian gas.

“What is also true, however, is that the prices will never again be as low as they once were,” Muller acknowledged.

Since the start of Russia’s offensive against Ukraine, gas prices in Europe have soared, reaching an all-time-high of over $3,600 per 1,000 cubic meters in early March.

While Ukraine and some other Eastern-European nations, including Poland, have been calling on the EU to ban imports of Russian gas, Brussels has so far stopped short of implementing the measure due to a lack of consensus among member states.

German government officials and industry representatives have repeatedly warned that a stoppage of Russian gas supplies would deal a huge blow to the economy.

In late June, Economy Minister Robert Habeck activated the second phase of Germany’s three-stage emergency gas plan. It came as Russia slashed supplies via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, blaming the lack of a turbine, stuck in Canada due to sanctions.

On Monday, Russia began regular maintenance work on the pipeline, meaning no gas was flowing to Germany at all.

Also this week, Berlin asked Ottawa to exempt the piece of equipment cited by Moscow as the reason for falling supplies.

Canada has accepted Berlin’s request, and will ship the turbine to Germany, from where it will make its way to Russia, allowing Ottawa to avoid violating its own sanctions by using an indirect delivery route.

Meanwhile on Friday, Russia’s state energy giant Gazprom officially asked German industrial giant Siemens to provide the paperwork needed for the return of the equipment to Russia.

Gas prices may surge again ahead of midterm elections

As new sanctions threaten to choke global oil supply, the White House scrambles to contain potential fallout

Comment

Drivers relieved by the recent dip in gas prices may be in for a shock when the summer winds down, with energy analysts warning a fresh round of price surges could emerge as soon as October.

The prospect of a new gas price jolt coinciding with midterm elections has the White House and many Democrats on edge.

Share with The Post: What’s one way you’ve felt the impact of inflation?

The price concerns are tied to the timeline for stricter sanctions on Russia that will further choke the global oil supply. J.P. Morgan has warned that in a worst-case scenario — in which Russia retaliates by shutting down its supply altogether — the price of oil could jump to $380 per barrel, more than triple what it is today.

“If you were to ask me where could oil prices go, I would say pick a number,” said Michael Tran, managing director for global energy strategy at RBC Capital, who says that while the outlook is murky, several indicators point to a price rebound. “This is the tightest oil market we have seen in a generation or more.”

The worrisome prognosis for consumers, coming as the nation is already struggling with historic levels of inflation, has the Biden administration grasping for interventions that could bring relief.

Yet U.S. political leaders are confronting the reality that even the most aggressive domestic political and policy measures often have scant impact over prices in a global oil market guided by forces out of their control.

Economists across the ideological spectrum warn that the measures the White House is promoting — allowing Russian oil into the global market at reduced prices, taxing oil company “windfall” profits, cutting the federal gas tax — could ultimately aggravate the energy crunch in the United States, rather than ease it.

“When things like this happen, we tend to focus on short-term fixes,” said Christopher Knittel, a professor of applied economics at MIT’s Sloan School of Management. “But, unfortunately, gas prices are not really something you can fix in the short term.”

The White House worries come at a moment consumers see gas prices as one of the few things in the economy trending in the right direction. The cost of a gallon has fallen from more than $5 a month ago to a national average of $4.60, according to AAA. Oil is trading for less than the price it did before Russia invaded Ukraine.

Concerns about a potential recession dampening demand have played big in the price drop.

Another key reason prices have fallen lately is that initial sanctions against Russia are far less effective than planned. The country’s oil is making its way into world markets despite the restrictions, flowing to places like China and India. It means the global supply is not as tight as forecast when the United States and Europe initially joined forces to punish Russia over its invasion.

That could change with the next round of planned sanctions. A full ban of cargo shipments of Russian oil to Europe is set to take hold on Dec. 5, with the market expected to factor in its impact much sooner.

The sanctions would be accompanied by a ban on insuring ships that carry Russian oil, preventing them from accessing international waterways. The insurance policies for most of the world’s oil cargo ships are written out of Europe.

As a result, Russia would confront steep new obstacles to moving its oil anywhere. The sanctions are intended to double the amount of Russian oil pulled from the market since the war began.

An internal U.S. Treasury analysis projects that could send the price of oil soaring 50 percent above where it is today. Some market analysts are warning of potentially steeper climbs, which could push gas prices beyond $6 a gallon.

The warnings all come with caveats. In the event of more bad economic news signaling a prolonged recession, for example, prices would likely stabilize. Less gasoline is used when the economy is in retreat.

A fresh round of coronavirus lockdowns in large Chinese cities would similarly weaken global demand and ease upward pressure on prices.

Yet the imbalance between oil and gasoline supply and demand is so pronounced right now that prices could swing back up months before new sanctions take effect, in the thick of the midterm campaign, said Kevin Book, managing director at ClearView Energy Partners, a research firm.

“People procuring oil make their bids early,” Book said. “It takes four to six weeks for it to be delivered. If they think a shortage is coming, they plan for it.”

The political and economic dilemma points to the challenges of using energy as a foreign policy cudgel.

“Energy sanctions were never the silver bullet people hoped,” said Edward Chow, an energy security scholar at the Center for Strategic and International Studies who worked in the industry for decades. “Politicians are telling voters that we can do this and people don’t have to sacrifice. It only works if you are willing to make sacrifices and actually cut demand.”

American lawmakers have shown little appetite for the conservation measures that the International Energy Agency is urging be implemented as part of the effort to assist Ukraine. The 10-point plan the agency unveiled months ago — aimed at cutting oil demand by the equivalent of all the cars in China — calls on economically advanced nations to lower highway speed limits, make cities car-free one day a week and implement vehicle sharing.

The plans are seen as political losers in the United States, echoing the unpopular conservation initiatives that doomed the Carter administration when it confronted an energy crisis in the 1970s.

The White House is instead lobbying world leaders to agree on a novel price cap that would allow Russia to continue to sell its oil after Dec. 5 but at a heavily reduced price. The idea is to avoid a global shortage while also cutting the oil profits Russia uses to fund its war effort.

Although the plan has some prominent champions, energy experts are deeply skeptical. They warn that Russia has various levers it could pull to throw the market into chaos, including cutting off all shipments abroad, plunging countries like India deeper into crisis.

The J.P. Morgan warning, that oil prices could more than triple in a worst-case scenario, is premised on its finding that Russia’s economy can sustain a cut in oil production of millions of barrels per day.

“The problem is Russia gets a vote, too,” Book said. “Just because something has never been done before doesn’t necessarily mean it can’t be done. But sometimes there is a reason it has never been done.”

Chow called the effort “puzzling.” “I have not met a single person who has worked in the energy industry who believes this can work,” he said.

Other measures the Biden administration is pursuing would take aim at oil companies, heavily taxing the “windfall” profits they are earning from high prices. Leading Democrats argue that such actions are overdue.

“In my view, quite a lot of intervention is appropriate in this market,” said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.). “You are not as government interfering in the marketplace. You are counteracting the anti-competitive effects of a cartel. Even if you are a free marketeer, it is fair game to knock down anti-competitive, cartel-driven practices.”

It is a potent argument and one that resonates with voters, who blame oil companies for high prices. But the United States has a history dating back to the Nixon administration of trying to use regulations to control prices at the pump. Knittel chronicled in a detailed academic paper how those efforts backfired, leading to oil shortages and long lines at gas stations in the 1970s.

The countries right now tinkering with aggressive market interventions are facing the same dilemma all over again. Before Russia invaded Ukraine, the Hungarian government imposed price controls capping the cost of gas at $4.80 per gallon. Shortages followed. Drivers there are now prohibited from purchasing more than 13 gallons of fuel per day.

“Gas prices are set based on a world oil market, and it is tough for any one country to have an appreciable impact on that market in a short time period,” Knittel said. “The way to stop this is a rallying call for federal legislation that reduces demand for oil over the long term. So next time prices go up like this, it won’t hit us as hard.”

Shipping Crisis Turns into a Nightmare as Disruptions Aggravate Container Shortage! - Epic Economist

Sunday, July 17, 2022 20:02

The supply chain crisis is entering a very critical phase right now. U.S. ports are already facing record levels of congestion, but labor issues at railroads are threatening to aggravate the situation and create a nationwide logjam of containers, resulting in extensive shipping delays, exacerbating shortages, and putting U.S. businesses on edge as they confront a growing number of disruptions, soaring inflation, expensive freight prices, and a slowing economy. Industry executives are bracing for “unprecedented chaos” during this shipping season given that 40 billion dollars worth of goods are currently stuck offshore and the backlog of containerships outside both coasts is already nearing all-time highs.

U.S. ports have been overwhelmed by an uninterrupted flow of imports for over two years now. Every time conditions finally improve, new disruptions emerge and the system is thrown into disarray again. This time, a labor impasse is threatening to stop U.S. railroads and halt the delivery of essential goods that are supposed to power up industries all across the country. A new report released by FreightWaves exposed that a massive number of rail workers have quit their jobs and over a hundred thousand of them may start a strike as soon as next week.

Union Pacific is scrambling to find railroad crews after years of slashing headcounts. In the first quarter of this year, the $22 billion railroader had 12,000 fewer workers than it had just a couple of years ago. This labor crunch isn’t unique to Union Pacific. Railways all across America are in an extremely chaotic state as companies struggle to find employees. That’s creating worse port congestion than what was seen in 2021 when the rail sector recorded the biggest traffic in history. And now a strike of 115,000 rail workers could create “unprecedented chaos” this peak shipping season given that a growing backlog of containers is already causing major delays.

For that reason, the ongoing rail congestion is leaving many industry executives and lawmakers furious. The coal industry is blaming rail for the “meltdown” in service capacity and grain shippers revealed they had to spend $100 million more in shipping costs to get their product moved amid poor rail service. Meanwhile, authorities in the Port of Los Angeles are saying that railroaders could cause a “nationwide logjam” due to the massive number of unmoved containers sitting around. While the impasse persists, conditions at U.S. ports are deteriorating fairly rapidly. The pile-up of empty containers waiting on Southern California terminal yards is rapidly reapproaching its peak. At this moment, tens of billions of dollars in trade are either landlocked or anchored at sea as congestion continues to build at the ports. Marine Traffic data also shows that the estimated value of cargo waiting offshore exceeds $40 billion.

With shipping cost pressures and other threats looming, recovery is not expected in the near future, and millions of U.S. businesses are on edge with this situation. A new survey of more than 100 U.S. supply chain executives from Carl Marks advisors found that 75% companies faced significant revenue losses over the past year due to supply chain disruptions. Ocean shipping was by far the leading broken transportation and logistics link, at 68%. Moreover, 36% of business leaders said they are “very concerned” about a dramatic economic slowdown over the next 12 months as a result of rising interest rates, high inflation, and geopolitical uncertainty, and a resultant pull-back in consumer confidence.

A lot of people thought that these bottlenecks would be proven temporary, but since the system first collapsed in 2020, the situation has only gone from worse to catastrophic. Unfortunately, a “return to normal” is simply not in the cards anymore, and as problems pile on top of each other, the supply chain chaos will only grow bigger with each passing day.

The Benefits Of World Hunger-Orwellian Newspeak and Goal of the Insane Elite

July 17, 2022 By Stan Szymanski

Thank you to David Dubyne at Adapt 2030 for bringing the original story to my attention at his Patreon channel.

On July 5, 2022 the magazine of the United Nations, the ‘UN Chronicle’, posted an article by Professor George Kent of The University Of Hawaii entitled ‘The Benefits Of World Hunger’ (originally printed in the mag in 2008). On July 6, 2022 the UN Chronicle deleted the article after public outcry. The UN claims it was ‘satire’. Even though the UN Chronicle deleted the article, I was able to find an archive of it here for your examination. For the United Nations to promulgate the Machiavellian juxtaposition of the image of hunger in contrast to whom it benefits is itself a picture so repulsive that it shows the United Nations for who it really is: A tool to be used by the elite globalists to subjugate the people of world for the benefit of the oligarchical class that George Orwell referred to as ‘The Party’. The goal of ‘The Party’ has one main goal: To keep the citizens under their -complete- control. In the year 2022 when food is disappearing from grocery store shelves and over 100 food processing plants have been attacked or destroyed just in the USA, Kent’s article ‘The Benefits Of World Hunger’ is a current day version of  Orwellian ‘doublespeak’ meant to confuse the populace by calling evil ‘good’ and good, ‘evil’.

Kent begins the UN condoned manifesto this way:

…’We sometimes talk about hunger in the world as if it were a scourge that all of us want to see abolished, viewing it as comparable with the plague or aids. But that naïve view prevents us from coming to grips with what causes and sustains hunger. Hunger has great positive value to many people. Indeed, it is fundamental to the working of the world's economy. Hungry people are the most productive people, especially where there is a need for manual labour.’…

Can you believe what you are reading? If we, as ‘normal’ God-fearing people, believe that hunger is a scourge, then Kent calls us ‘naive’. His thesis statement is …’Hungry people are the most productive people, especially where there is a need for manual labour’…

Hungry people are the most productive people when they are the -only- ones doing the work. This it how it works when there is a ruling or a ‘Bourgeoisie’ class, as the online dictionary.com defines it:

…’(in Marxist theory) the class that, in contrast to the proletariat or wage-earning class, is primarily concerned with property values.’…

Whether that property be machinery, factories, real estate or some other hard asset-that is what holds the attention and hearts of the Bourgeoisie.

The Bourgeoisie are never hungry. The Bourgeoisie never want for the necessities of life. By Kent’s own definition of ‘productive people’, the Bourgeoisie are not productive. In fact, the Bourgeoisie have a symbiotic relationship with the hungry. The small percentage of the overall population that make up the Bourgeoisie represent the ‘parasite’ in the relationship while the hungry masses represent the ‘host’.

Elsewhere In his opening paragraph, the author states…’ Hunger has great positive value to many people.’…’The ‘many’ are actually ‘the few’. This is a current day example of Orwell’s ‘newspeak’. Book Analysis describes ‘Newspeak’ this way:

…’Newspeak is the fictional language Orwell invented for his novel 1984. It is used to control what people are capable of thinking.’…

The ‘few’ is another name for the Bourgeoisie. The Bourgeoisie is another name for who Orwell called ‘The Party’ in 1984-more specifically, the ‘Inner Party’.

Book Analysis elucidates the ‘Inner Party’ this way:

…’The Inner Party is the top two percent of citizens from Oceania in George Orwell’s 1984. ’…

In more detail from Book Analysis:

…’The existence of the Inner Party is entirely dependent on the suffering of the Outer Party and the Proles. The former does the labor that the Inner Party gets to avoid, and they keep tabs on those below them through the use of the Though(t) Police and the telescreens around the city.’…

In ‘The Benefits of World Hunger’ Kent goes on to say:

…’More importantly, how many of us would sell our services so cheaply if it were not for the threat of hunger? When we sell our services cheaply, we enrich others, those who own the factories, the machines and the lands, and ultimately own the people who work for them. For those who depend on the availability of cheap labour, hunger is the foundation of their wealth.’

…and at the end of the next paragraph opines:

…’Who would build any sort of factory if they did not know that many people would be available to take the jobs at low-pay rates?’…

On no he di’int…In his view, Kent (and his ilk-i.e. the UN, Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab et. al.) believe that Commie-Capatalism works best when you have a destitute population who have no dreams of their own and are more than willing to swallow any bait (job or vaccine payment) that comes along to which they will swear their fealty to for a few scraps of food. Mr. Kent identifies this as ‘The Benefits of World Hunger’.

It didn’t work for the Soviets. It has apparently stopped working for the Chinese when we look at the situations of Covid lockdowns, Evergrande (Chinese Real Estate) and major Red Banks that are in later stages of insolvency and bank runs.

If what you have seen so far from Professor Kent seems incredulous, hold onto your EBT cards.

…’No one works harder than hungry people. Yes, people who are well nourished have greater capacity for productive physical activity, but well-nourished people are far less willing to do that work.’…

Yes Professor Kent, this thesis of calorie distribution worked so well for the Third Reich as the Jews and Polish who purchased a train ticket with their lives from their ‘betters’ and headed east to Treblinka, Birkenau, Auschwitz and other Eastern European vacation destinations (turn sarcasm off-I’m Polish). Just how much ‘work’ did the hunger victims in the ‘work’ camps accomplish? Can the thought process of Kent, the UN and Schwab be any different than Hirohito or Himmler when their propaganda mouthpiece, The UN Chronicle, espouses this same kind of disinformation and brainwashing?

In Professor Georges’ communistic closure:

…’For those of us at the high end of the social ladder, ending hunger globally would be a disaster. If there were no hunger in the world, who would plow the fields? Who would harvest our vegetables? Who would work in the rendering plants? Who would clean our toilets? We would have to produce our own food and clean our own toilets. No wonder people at the high end are not rushing to solve the hunger problem. For many of us, hunger is not a problem, but an asset.’…

This guy is nothing more than a member of the ‘outer party’ who talks like he is a member of the ‘inner party’. When the food becomes scarce on the islands and it comes down to growing your own food to survive, I wonder if Kent will still think of hunger as an asset? I wonder if the UN will come to his rescue while still spewing this compost?

Kent states that he is at the ‘high end of the social ladder’. If the situation of a faltering economy, high inflation, falling college enrollment (not so good for your job Professor) and war persists, I believe that the -not so esteemed- ‘Professor’ may find that the only food he can find to eat will be humble pie when he apologizes to Hawaiians as he gladly cleans their toilets at the university. Who knows? Perhaps he can cobble together some poi and pork so he has enough energy to write his next non-productive totalitarian article for the party he will never be part of because he is only insane enough to write this type of essay about people suffering starvation. The truly insane are those who say ‘you will own nothing and be happy’ and are deranged enough to write it into a business plan.

'A Harbinger Of Larger Things To Come': The Hits Against The Food Supply Chain Are Coming From Every Direction - When The Food Is Gone Rioting Begins

By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine  July 17, 2022

While the national media is busy playing politics, protecting Joe Biden, screaming the world is ending because of climate change, and basically performing activism and the hell with actual journalism, America is heading in a direction that leads to hunger and fighting for survival.

Before moving on to the multitude of issues affecting the supply chain here in the U.S., I would like to point to what is described by Forbes as a "harbinger of larger things to come around the rest of the world in the months and years ahead."

Sri Lanka: The first paragraph in a piece from July 10, 2022, titled "Rising Social Unrest Over Energy, Food Shortages Threatens Global Stability," pretty much says it all.

    The nation of Sri Lanka has an almost perfect ESG rating of 98.1 on a scale of 100, according to WorldEconomics.com. But the government which had forced the nation to achieve that virtue-signaling target in recent years collapsed over the weekend because it led the country into self-declared bankruptcy, leaving it unable to purchase adequate supplies of fuel and feed its population. Thousands of angry Sri Lankans stormed the presidential residence on Saturday, forcing President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to step down and reportedly flee the country.

Next I point readers to the portions put in bold and underlined above.

Collapsed over the weekend. That ladies and gentlemen is how fast a nation, even one with such a high sustainability rating, can fall.

When the food is gone, the rioting begins.

Many Americans still believe that "it can't happen to or in America," and that is arrogance, hubris, and a massive failure on the part of the MSM to "inform" the public of how fast it can happen and to give them adequate warnings to prepare for the possibility, which is looking more likely with each new report of events that affect the food supply in America

Gas prices, a lack of fertilizer, food prices, and increasingly empty shelves, are the result of many factors, including trucker shortages, war, mysterious fires and explosions of food plants across America, and as Stefan Stanford recently pointed out, an upcoming strike by those that run our trains, but when a family is hungry, they truly aren't thinking of "why, just "how" are they going to feed themselves and their families.

Another strange set of events was reported by Steve Quayle as this SQ alert tells us:

We recommend reading the entire alert, but the gist of it is that multiple stores in Montana had suspicious "freezer failures," causing tens of thousands of tons of foods to be brought to landfills and disposed of.

Readers have been letting us know about shortages in their local stores, and some recent news articles, which seem hard to find on the search engines because those that are actually reporting on the shortages, downplay it, or bury their stories under their activism very quickly, all show the food supply issues steadily getting worse, while the prices get higher, even as "shrinkflation" (same price, less product in packaging), hits more products.

ANP FUNDRAISER: Due to the google ad services just dropping ANP articles, we're running an fundraising drive this very moment and into the near future. We also want to thank everybody who has donated to ANP over the years.

With donations and ad revenue all that keep ANP online, if you're able, please consider donating to ANP to help keep us in this fight for America's future at this absolutely critical time in US history. During a time of systematic, 'big tech' censorship and widespread institutional corruption, truth-seeking media and alternative views are crucial, and EVERY little bit helps more than you could know!)

Deplorable Susie:

    Busy day in NE Ohio - observations: Gas=$4.40. Diesel=$5.85. Silver rounds=$25. One store did not have my smokes :-(...yes, I know. WM: NO ... Tylenol, wall paint, creme cheese, Am. Cheese slices. Some baby formula is back. Low stock/reduced shelf space ... Campbell soups, pork-n-beans (other canned beans as well ... holiday??), pasta, eggs. Just for fun ... Nice looking, medium thick, Rib Eye Steak = $16/lb. ... T-bone steak = $12/lb......

Betty:

    I just had a bad trip to the grocery store. Eight items I couldn’t get. The vegetables and fruits are extremely low, no blueberries, strawberries, nor melons. Red Meat is disappearing but we did have more expensive chicken. Dairy is low, no peanut butter, low on bottled water......

BOTTOM LINE

While the national news stories about the food shortages, price hikes are there, they are sometimes hard to find, whether that is manipulation of the search engine results or because the MSM buries the stories as fast as possible so they can go back to pushing democrat propaganda, matters not, the fact is they are more worried about being activists than telling Americans to prepare now before it becomes to expensive to prepare and that is for the foods they can still obtain.

It is a sad day when Americans can find international news regarding America's food shortages easier than national news.

While there are many different reasons for the food shortages and price hikes, those trying to feed their families care more about getting the food they need than they do about why they can't.

That still does not change the fact that between fires, explosions, plane crashes, mysterious freezer failure in multiple different stores all at once, trucker shortages, potential train employee strike, recalls, war, weather, and more, the food supply is far more vulnerable than the MSM will admit.....until it is too late.

Indiana shopping mall shooter shot dead by armed 'good Samaritan,' police say

Multiple law enforcement agencies responded to the scene

By Bradford Betz | Fox News

At least four people, including the shooter, are dead and others are injured following a shooting at a shopping mall in the suburbs of Indianapolis, according to local reports.

Greenwood Chief James Ison said "a good Samaritan with a handgun" at the scene killed the shooter. He said two others were wounded and are being treated in area hospitals.

The shooter has only been described as an adult male. Police said he had a rifle and several magazines of ammunition.

Officers responded to a call regarding an active shooter at the Greenwood Park Mall in Greenwood, Indiana, just after 6 p.m.

Emergency services arrived on the scene while law enforcement officers worked to secure the scene.

Indianapolis police and other law enforcement agencies were assisting the Greenwood police with clearing out the mall and clearing the scene. Police later said there was no ongoing threat.

Fox News has reached out to the Greenwood Police Department seeking more information.

The J6 Motive – Why Donald Trump Must be Removed, The Political Surveillance of American Citizens

July 17, 2022 | Sundance | 289 Comments

Barack Obama and Eric Holder did not create a weaponized DOJ and FBI; the institutions were already weaponized by the Patriot Act.  What Obama and Holder did was take the preexisting system and retool it, so the weapons of government only targeted one side of the political continuum.

This point is where many people understandably get confused.

In the era shortly after 9/11 the DC national security apparatus, instructed by Vice President Dick Cheney, was constructed to preserve continuity of government and simultaneously view all Americans as potential threats. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) were created specifically for this purpose.

After 9/11/01 the electronic surveillance system that was originally created to monitor threats from abroad was retooled to monitor threats inside our country.  That is when all of our electronic ‘metadata’ came under federal surveillance.

That inflection point, and the process that followed, was exactly what Edward Snowden tried to point out.

What Barack Obama and Eric Holder did with that new construct was refine the internal targeting mechanisms so that only their political opposition became the target of this new national security system.

The problems we face now as a country are directly an outcome of two very distinct points that were merged by Barack Obama. (1) The post 9/11 monitoring of electronic communication of American citizens; and (2) Obama’s team creating a fine-tuning knob that it focused on the politics of the targets.  This is very important to understand as you dig deeper into this research outline.

Washington DC created the modern national security apparatus immediately and hurriedly after 9/11/01.  The Department of Homeland Security came along in 2002, and within the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) was formed.

When President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder arrived a few years later, those newly formed institutions were viewed as opportunities to create a very specific national security apparatus that would focus almost exclusively against their political opposition.

The preexisting Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Dept of Justice (DOJ) were then repurposed to become two of the four pillars of the domestic national security apparatus: a domestic surveillance state. However, this new construct would have a targeting mechanism based on political ideology.

The DHS, ODNI, DOJ and FBI became the four pillars of this new institution. Atop these pillars is where you will find the Fourth Branch of Government.

We were not sleeping when this happened, we were wide awake. However, we were stunningly distracted by the economic collapse that was taking place in 2006 and 2007 when the engineers behind Obama started to assemble the design. By the time Obama took office in 2009, we sensed something profound was shifting, but we can only see exactly what shifted in the aftermath. The four pillars were put into place, and a new Fourth Branch of Government was quietly created.

As time passed, and the system operators became familiar with their new tools, technology allowed the tentacles of the system to reach out and touch us. That is when we first started to notice that something very disconcerting was happening. Those four pillars are the root of it, and if we take the time to understand how the Fourth Branch originated, questions about this current state of perpetual angst will start to make sense.

Grab a cup of your favorite beverage and take a walk with me as we outline how this was put together. You might find many of the questions about our current state of political affairs beginning to make a lot more sense.

Remember, it is not my intent to outline the entire history of how we got to this place where the intelligence community now acts as the superseding Fourth Branch of Government. Such an effort would be exhausting and likely take our discussion away from understanding the current dynamic.

History provided enough warnings from Dwight D. Eisenhower (military) to John F. Kennedy (CIA), to Richard Nixon (FBI), to all the modern versions of warnings and frustrations from HPSCI Devin Nunes and ODNI Ric Grenell.

None of those prior reference points are invalid, and all documented outlines of historic reference are likely true and accurate. However, a generational review is not useful, as the reference impacting us ‘right now‘ gets lost.

Instead, we pick up the expansive and weaponized intelligence system as it manifests after 9/11/01, and my goal is to highlight how the modern version of the total intelligence apparatus has metastasized into a Fourth Branch of Government. It is this superseding branch that now touches and influences every facet of our life.  We The People are under surveillance.

If we take the modern construct, originating at the speed of technological change, we can also see how the oversight or “check/balance” in our system of government became functionally obsolescent.

After many years of granular research about the intelligence apparatus inside our government, in the summer of 2020 I visited Washington DC to ask specific questions. My goal was to go where the influence agents within government actually operate, and to discover the people deep inside the institutions no one elected, and few people pay attention to.

It was during this process when I discovered how information is purposefully put into containment silos; essentially a formal process to block the flow of information between agencies and between the original branches. While frustrating to discover, the silo effect was important because understanding the communication between networks leads to our ability to reconcile conflict between what we perceive and what’s actually taking place.

After days of research and meetings in DC during 2020; amid a town that was serendipitously shut down due to COVID-19; I found a letter slid under the door of my room in a nearly empty hotel with an introduction of sorts. The subsequent discussions were perhaps the most important. After many hours of specific questions and answers on specific examples, I realized why our nation is in this mess. That is when I discovered the fourth and superseding branch of government, the Intelligence Branch.

I am going to explain how the Intelligence Branch works: (1) to control every other branch of government; (2) how it functions as an entirely independent branch of government with no oversight; (3) how and why it was created to be independent from oversight; (4) what is the current mission of the IC Branch, and most importantly (5) who operates it.

The Intelligence Branch is an independent functioning branch of government, it is no longer a subsidiary set of agencies within the Executive Branch as most would think. To understand the Intelligence Branch, we need to drop the elementary school civics class lessons about three coequal branches of government and replace that outlook with the modern system that created itself.

The Intelligence Branch functions much like the State Dept, through a unique set of public-private partnerships that support it. Big Tech industry collaboration with intelligence operatives is part of that functioning, almost like an NGO. However, the process is much more important than most think. In this problematic perspective of a corrupt system of government, the process is the flaw – not the outcome.

There are people making decisions inside this little known, unregulated and out-of-control branch of government that impact every facet of our lives.

None of the people operating deep inside the Intelligence Branch were elected; and our elected representative House members genuinely do not know how the system works. I assert this position affirmatively because I have talked to House and Senate staffers, including the chiefs of staff for multiple House & Senate committee seats. They are not malicious people; however, they are genuinely clueless of things that happen outside their silo. That is part of the purpose of me explaining it, with examples, in full detail with sunlight.

We begin….

In April of 2016, the FBI launched a counterintelligence operation against presidential candidate Donald Trump. The questioning about that operation is what New York Representative Elise Stefanik cites in March of 2017, approximately 11 months later (First Two Minutes).

Things to note:

♦ Notice how FBI Director James Comey just matter-of-factly explains no one outside the DOJ was informed about the FBI operation. Why? Because that’s just the way things are done. His justification for unilateral operations was “because of the sensitivity of the matter“, totally ignoring any constitutional or regulatory framework for oversight; because, well, quite simply, there isn’t any. The intelligence apparatus inside the DOJ/FBI can, and does, operate based on their own independent determinations of authority.

♦ Notice also how FBI Director Comey shares his perspective that informing the National Security Council (NSC) is the equivalent of notifying the White House. The FBI leadership expressly believe they bear no responsibility to brief the Chief Executive. As long as they tell some unknown, unelected, bureaucratic entity inside the NSC, their unwritten responsibility to inform the top of their institutional silo is complete. If the IC wants to carve out the Oval Office, they simply plant information inside the NSC and, from their perspective, their civic responsibility to follow checks-and-balances is complete. This is an intentional construct.

♦ Notice how Comey obfuscates notification to the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), by avoiding the fact James Clapper was the DNI from outset of the counterintelligence operation throughout the remainder of Obama’s term. When I get deeper into the process, we will understand how the Intelligence Branch has intentionally used the creation of the DNI position (established post 9/11/01) as a method to avoid oversight, not enhance it. Keeping an oblivious doofus like James Clapper in position held strategic value [Doofus Reminder HERE].

That video of James Comey being questioned by Elise Stefanik was the first example given to me by someone who knew the background of everything that was taking place preceding that March 20, 2017, hearing. That FBI reference point is a key to understand how the Intelligence Branch operates with unilateral authority above Congress (legislative branch), above the White House (executive branch), and even above the court system (judicial branch).

Also, watch this short video of James Clapper, because it is likely many readers have forgotten, and likely even more readers have never seen it. Watch closely how then White House national security adviser John Brennan is responding in that video. This is before Brennan became CIA Director, this is when Brennan was helping Barack Obama put the pillars into place. WATCH:

[Sidebar: Every time I post this video it gets scrubbed from YouTube (example), so save it if you ever want to see it again.]

The video of James Clapper highlights how the ODNI position (created with good national security intention) ended up becoming the fulcrum for modern weaponization, and is now an office manipulated by agencies with a vested interest in retaining power. The Intelligence Branch holds power over the ODNI through their influence and partnership with the body that authorizes the power within it, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI).

Factually, the modern intelligence apparatus uses checks and balances in their favor. The checks create silos of proprietary information, classified information, vaults of information that work around oversight issues. The silos, which include the exploitation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA Court, or FISC) are part of the problem.

Ironically, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence was created in the aftermath of 9/11/01 expressly to eliminate the silos of information which they felt led to a domestic terrorist attack that could have been prevented. The ODNI was created specifically upon the recommendation of the 9/11 commission.

The intent was to create a central hub of intelligence information, inside the Executive Branch, where the CIA, NSA, DoD, DoS, and DIA could deposit their unique intelligence products and a repository would be created so that domestic intelligence operations, like the DOJ and FBI could access them when needed to analyze threats to the U.S. This, they hoped, would ensure the obvious flags missed in the 9/11 attacks would not be missed again.

However, the creation of the DNI office also created an unconstitutional surveillance system of the American people.  The DNI office became the tool to take massive amounts of data and use it to target specific Americans.  Weaponizing the DNI office for political targeting is now the purpose of the DNI office as it exists.

The illegal and unlawful nature of the surveillance creates a need for careful protection amid the group who operate in the shadows of electronic information and domestic surveillance. You will see how it was critical to install a person uniquely skilled in being an idiot, James Clapper, into that willfully blind role while intelligence operatives worked around the office to assemble the Intelligence Branch of Government.

• The last federal budget that flowed through the traditional budgetary process was signed into law in September of 2007 for fiscal year 2008 by George W. Bush. Every budget since then has been a fragmented process of continuing resolutions and individual spending bills.

Why does this matter? Because many people think defunding the Intelligence Community is a solution; it is not…. at least, not yet. Worse yet, the corrupt divisions deep inside the U.S. intelligence system can now fund themselves from multinational private sector partnerships (banks, corporations and foreign entities).

• When Democrats took over the House of Representatives in January 2007, they took office with a plan. Nancy Pelosi became Speaker, and Democrats controlled the Senate where Harry Reid was Majority Leader. Barack Obama was a junior senator from Illinois.

Pelosi and Reid intentionally did not advance a budget in 2008 (for fiscal year 2009) because their plan included installing Barack Obama (and all that came with him) with an open checkbook made even more lucrative by a worsening financial crisis and a process called baseline budgeting. Baseline budgeting means the prior fiscal year budget is accepted as the starting point for the next year budget. All previous expenditures are baked into the cake within baseline budgeting.

Massive bailouts preceded Obama’s installation due to U.S. economic collapse, and massive bailouts continued after his installation. This is the ‘never let a crisis go to waste’ aspect. TARP (Troubled Asset Recovery Program), auto bailouts (GM), and the massive stimulus spending bill, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA, ie. those shovel ready jobs) were all part of the non-budget spending. The federal reserve assisted with Quantitative Easing (QE1 and QE2) as congress passed various Porkulous spending bills further spending and replacing the formal budget process.

Note: There has never been a budget passed in the normal/traditional process since September of 2007.

• While Obama’s radical ‘transformation‘ was triggered across a broad range of government institutions, simultaneously spending on the U.S. military was cut, but spending on the intelligence apparatus expanded. We were all distracted by Obamacare, and the Republican Party wanted to keep us that way. However, in the background there was a process of transformation taking place that included very specific action by Eric Holder and targeted effort toward the newest executive agency the ODNI.

The people behind Obama, those same people now behind Joe Biden, knew from years of strategic planning that ‘radical transformation’ would require control over specific elements inside the U.S. government. Eric Holder played a key role in his position as U.S. Attorney General in the DOJ.

AG Holder recruited ideologically aligned political operatives who were aware of the larger institutional objectives. One of those objectives was weaponizing the DOJ-National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) a division inside the DOJ that had no inspector general oversight. For most people the DOJ-NSD weaponization surfaced with a hindsight awakening of the DOJ-NSD targeting candidate Donald Trump many years later. However, by then the Holder crew had executed almost eight full years of background work.

• The second larger Obama/Holder objective was control over the FBI. Why was that important? Because the FBI does the domestic investigative work on anyone who needs or holds a security clearance. The removal of security clearances could be used as a filter to further build the internal ideological army they were assembling. Additionally, with new power in the ODNI created as a downstream consequence of the Patriot Act, new protocols for U.S. security clearances were easy to justify.

Carefully selecting fellow ideological travelers was facilitated by this filtration within the security clearance process. How does that issue later manifest? Just look around at how politicized every intelligence agency has become, specifically including the FBI.

• At the exact same time this new background security clearance process was ongoing, again everyone distracted by the fight over Obamacare, inside the Department of State (Secretary Hillary Clinton) a political alignment making room for the next phase was being assembled. Names like Samantha Power, Susan Rice and Hillary Clinton were familiar on television while Lisa Monaco worked as a legal liaison between the Obama White House and Clinton State Department.

Through the Dept of State (DoS) the intelligence apparatus began working on their first steps to align Big Tech with a larger domestic institutional objective. Those of you who remember the “Arab Spring”, some say “Islamist Spring”, will remember it was triggered by Barack Obama’s speech in Cairo – his first foreign trip. The State Department worked with grassroots organizers (mostly Muslim Brotherhood) in Egypt, Syria, Bahrain, Qatar and Libya. Obama leaned heavily on the organizational network of Turkish President Recep Erdogan for contacts and support.

Why does this aspect matter to us? Well, you might remember how much effort the Obama administration put into recruiting Facebook and Twitter as resources for the various mideast rebellions the White House and DoS supported. This was the point of modern merge between the U.S. intelligence community and Big Tech social media.

In many ways, the coordinated political outcomes in Libya and Egypt were the beta test for the coordinated domestic political outcomes we saw in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. The U.S. intelligence community working with social media platforms and political operatives.

Overlaying all of that background activity was also a new alignment of the Obama-era intelligence apparatus with ideological federal “contractors“. Where does this contractor activity manifest? In the FISA Court opinion of Rosemary Collyer who cited the “interagency memorandum of understanding”, or MOU.

Hopefully, you can see a small part of how tentacled the system to organize/weaponize the intelligence apparatus was. None of this was accidental, all of this was by design, and the United States Senate was responsible for intentionally allowing most of this to take place.  The tools the government used to monitor threats were now being used to monitor every American.  WE THE PEOPLE were now the threat the national security system was monitoring.

That’s the 30,000/ft level backdrop history of what was happening as the modern IC was created. Next, we will go into how all these various intelligence networks began working in unison and how they currently control all of the other DC institutions under them; including how they can carve out the President from knowing their activity.

♦ When Barack Obama was installed in January 2009, the Democrats held a 60 seat majority in the U.S. Senate. As the people behind the Obama installation began executing their longer-term plan, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence was a tool to create the Intelligence Branch; it was not an unintentional series of events.

When Obama was installed, Dianne Feinstein was the Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), and Democrat operative Dan Jones was her lead staffer. Feinstein was completely controlled by those around her including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The CIA was in the process of turning over personnel following the Bush era, and as a result of a massive multi-year narrative of diminished credibility (Iraq WMD), a deep purge was underway. Obama/Holder were in the process of shifting intelligence alignment and the intensely political Democrat Leader Harry Reid was a key participant.

THE TRAP – Many people say that Congress is the solution to eliminating the Fourth and superseding Branch of Government, the Intelligence Branch. This is an exercise in futility because the Legislative Branch, specifically the SSCI, facilitated the creation of the Intelligence Branch. The SSCI cannot put the genie they created back in the bottle without admitting they too are corrupt; and the background story of their corruption is way too intense to be exposed now.

Every member of the SSCI is compromised in some controlling manner. Those Senators who disliked the control over them; specifically disliked because the risk of sunlight was tenuous and, well, possible; have either left completely or stepped down from the committee. None of the SSCI members past or present would ever contemplate saying openly what their tenure involved.

[Note: You might remember when Vice Chairman Mark Warner’s text messages surfaced, there was a controlled Republican SSCI member who came to his defense in February of 2018. It was not accidental that exact Senator later became the chair of the SSCI himself. That Republican Senator is Marco Rubio, now vice-chair since the Senate re-flipped back to the optics of Democrat control in 2021.]

All of President Obama’s 2009 intelligence appointments required confirmation from the Senate. The nominees had to first pass through the Democrat controlled SSCI, and then to a full Senate vote where Democrats held a 60 vote majority. Essentially, Obama got everyone he wanted in place easily. Rahm Emmanuel was Obama’s Chief of Staff, and Valerie Jarrett was Senior Advisor.

Tim Geithner was Treasury Secretary in 2010 when the joint DOJ/FBI and IRS operation to target the Tea Party took place after the midterm “shellacking” caused by the Obamacare backlash. Mitch McConnell was Minority Leader in the Senate but supported the targeting of the Tea Party as his Senate colleagues were getting primaried by an angry and effective grassroots campaign. McConnell’s friend, Senator Bob Bennett, getting beaten in Utah was the final straw.

Dirty Harry and Mitch McConnell saw the TEA Party through the same prism. The TEA Party took Kennedy’s seat in Massachusetts (Scott Brown); Sharon Angle was about to take out Harry Reid in Nevada; Arlen Spector was taken down in Pennsylvania; Senator Robert Byrd died; Senator Lisa Murkowski lost her primary to Joe Miller in Alaska; McConnell’s nominee Mike Castle lost to Christine O’Donnell in Delaware; Rand Paul won in Kentucky. This is the background. The peasants were revolting…. and visibly angry Mitch McConnell desperately made a deal with the devil to protect himself.

In many ways, the TEA Party movement was/is very similar to the MAGA movement. The difference in 2010 was the absence of a head of the movement, in 2015 Donald Trump became that head figure who benefited from the TEA Party energy. Trump came into office in 2017 with the same congressional opposition as the successful TEA Party candidates in 2011.

Republicans took control of the Senate following the 2014 mid-terms. Republicans took control of the SSCI in January 2015. Senator Richard Burr became chairman of the SSCI, and Dianne Feinstein shifted to Vice-Chair. Dirty Harry Reid left the Senate, and Mitch McConnell took power again.

Republicans were in control of the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2015 when the Intelligence Branch operation against candidate Donald Trump was underway. [Feinstein’s staffer, Dan Jones, left the SSCI so he could act as a liaison and political operative between private-sector efforts (Fusion GPS, Chris Steele) and the SSCI.] The SSCI was a participant in that Fusion GPS/Chris Steele operation, and as a direct consequence Republicans were inherently tied to the problem with President Trump taking office in January of 2017. Indiana Republican Senator Dan Coats was a member of the SSCI.

Bottom line…. When it came to the intelligence system targeting Donald Trump during the 2015/2016 primary, the GOP was just as much at risk as their Democrat counterparts.

When Trump unexpectedly won the 2016 election, the SSCI was shocked more than most. They knew countermeasures would need to be deployed to protect themselves from any exposure of their prior intelligence conduct.  Immediately Senator Dianne Feinstein stepped down from the SSCI, and Senator Mark Warner was elevated to Vice Chairman.

Indiana’s own Mike Pence, now Vice President, recommended fellow Hoosier, SSCI Senator Dan Coats, to become President Trump’s Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). [Apply hindsight here]

• To give an idea of the Intelligence Branch power dynamic, remind yourself how House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), Chairman Devin Nunes, tried to get access to the DOJ/FBI records of the FISA application used against the Trump campaign via Carter Page.

Remember, Devin Nunes only saw a portion of the FISA trail from his review of a Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) previously given to President Obama. Chairman Nunes had to review the PDB at the White House SCIF due to compartmented intelligence, another example of the silo benefit.

Remember the massive stonewalling and blocking of the DOJ/FBI toward Nunes? Remember the back and forth battle over declassification surrounding the Nunes memo?

Remember, after Nunes went directly to House Speaker Paul Ryan for help (didn’t get any), the DOJ only permitted two members from each party within the HPSCI to review the documents, and only at the DOJ offices of main justice?

Contrast that amount of House Intel Committee railroading and blocking by intelligence operatives in the DOJ, DOJ-NSD and FBI, with the simple request by Senate Intelligence Vice Chairman Mark Warner asking to see the Carter Page FISA application and immediately a copy being delivered to him on March 17th 2017.

Can you see which intelligence committee is aligned with the deepest part of the deep state?

Oh, how quickly we forget:

The contrast of ideological alignment between the House, Senate and Intelligence Branch is crystal clear when viewed through the prism of cooperation. You can see which legislative committee holds the power and support of the Intelligence Branch. The Senate Intel Committee facilitates the corrupt existence of the IC Branch, so the IC Branch only cooperates with the Senate Intel Committee. It really is that simple.

• The Intelligence Branch carefully selects its own members by controlling how security clearances are investigated and allowed (FBI). The Intelligence Branch also uses compartmentalization of intelligence as a way to keep each agency, and each downstream branch of government (executive, legislative and judicial), at arms length as a method to stop anyone from seeing the larger picture of their activity. I call this the “silo effect“, and it is done by design.

I have looked at stunned faces when I presented declassified silo product from one agency to the silo customers of another. You would be astonished at what they don’t know because it is not in their ‘silo’.

Through the advice and consent rules, the Intelligence Branch uses the SSCI to keep out people they consider dangerous to their ongoing operations. Any appointee to the intelligence community must first pass through the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, before they get a full Senate vote. If the SSCI rejects the candidate, they simply refuse to take up the nomination. The president is then blocked from that appointment. This is what happened with President Trump over and over again.

• Additionally, the Intelligence Branch protects itself, and its facilitating allies through the formal classification process. The Intelligence Branch gets to decide unilaterally what information will be released and what information will be kept secret. There is no entity outside the Intelligence Branch, and yes that includes the President of the United States, who can supersede the classification authority of the Intelligence Branch. {Go Deep} and {Go Deep} This is something 99.9% of the people on our side get totally and frustratingly wrong.

No one can declassify, or make public, anything the Intelligence Branch will not agree to. Doubt this? Ask Ric Grenell, John Ratcliffe, or even President Trump himself.

• The classification process is determined inside the Intelligence Branch, all by themselves. They get to choose what rank of classification exists on any work product they create; and they get to decide what the classification status is of any work product that is created by anyone else. The Intelligence Branch has full control over what is considered classified information and what is not. The Intelligence Branch defines what is a “national security interest” and what is not. A great technique for hiding fingerprints of corrupt and illegal activity.

[For familiar reference see the redactions to Lisa Page and Peter Strzok text messages. The Intelligence Branch does all redactions.]

• Similarly, the declassification process is a request by an agency, even a traditionally superior agency like the President of the United States, to the Intelligence Branch asking for them to release the information. The Intelligence Branch again holds full unilateral control. If the head of the CIA refuses to comply with the declassification instruction of the President, what can the president do except fire him/her? {Again, GO DEEP} How does the President replace the non-compliant cabinet member? They have to go through the SSCI confirmation. See the problem?

Yes, there are ways to break up the Intelligence Branch, but they do not start with any congressional effort. As you can see above, the process is the flaw – not the solution. Most conservative pundits have their emphasis on the wrong syllable. Their cornerstone is false.

For their own self-preservation, the Intelligence Branch has been interfering in our elections for years. The way to tear this apart begins with STATE LEVEL election reform that blocks the Legislative Branch from coordinating with the Intelligence Branch.

The extreme federalism approach is critical and also explains why Joe Biden has instructed Attorney General Merrick Garland to use the full power of the DOJ to stop state level election reform efforts. The worry of successful state level election control is also why the Intelligence Branch now needs to support the federal takeover of elections.

Our elections have been usurped by the Intelligence Branch. Start with honest elections and we will see just how much Democrat AND Republican corruption is dependent on manipulated election results. Start at the state level. Start there…. everything else is downstream.

♦ COLLAPSED OVERSIGHT – The modern system to ‘check’ the Executive Branch was the creation of the legislative “Gang of Eight,” a legislative oversight mechanism intended to provide a bridge of oversight between the authority of the intelligence community within the Executive Branch.

The Go8 construct was designed to allow the President authority to carry out intelligence operations and provide the most sensitive notifications to a select group within Congress.

The Go8 oversight is directed to the position, not the person, and consists of: (1) The Speaker of the House; (2) The Minority Leader of the House; (3) The Chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, HPSCI; (4) The Ranking Member (minority) of the HPSCI; (5) The Leader of the Senate; (6) The Minority Leader of the Senate; (7) The Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, SSCI; and finally (8) the Vice-Chair of the SSCI.

Example: When the Chief Executive (the President) initiates an intelligence operation on behalf of the United States, the President triggers a “finding memo.” In essence, the instruction to the intel agency or agencies to authorize a covert operation. When that process takes place, the Go8 are the first people notified. Depending on the sensitivity of the operation, sometimes the G08 are notified immediately after the operation is conducted. The notification can be a phone call or an in-person briefing.

Because of the sensitivity of their intelligence information, the Gang of Eight hold security clearances that permit them to receive and review all intelligence operations. The intelligence community are also responsible for briefing the Go8 with the same information they use to brief the President.

~ 2021 Gang of Eight ~

The Go8 design is intended to put intelligence oversight upon both political parties in Congress; it is designed that way by informing the minority leaders of both the House and Senate as well as the ranking minority members of the SSCI and HPSCI. Under the concept, the President cannot conduct an intelligence operation; and the intelligence community cannot carry out intelligence gathering operations without the majority and minority parties knowing about it.

The modern design of this oversight system was done to keep rogue and/or corrupt intelligence operations from happening. However, as we shared in the preview to this entire discussion, the process was usurped during the Obama era. {GO DEEP}

Former FBI Director James Comey openly admitted to Congress on March 20, 2017, that the FBI, FBI Counterintelligence Division, DOJ and DOJ-National Security Division, together with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the CIA, had been conducting independent investigations of Donald Trump for over a year without informing the Go8. Comey justified the lack of informing Go8 oversight by saying, “because of the sensitivity of the matter.”

Stupidly, Congress never pressed James Comey on that issue. The arrogance was astounding, and the acceptance by Congress was infuriating. However, that specific example highlighted just how politically corrupt the system had become. In essence, Team Obama usurped the entire design of congressional oversight…. and Congress just brushed it off.

Keep in mind, Comey did not say the White House was unaware; in fact he said exactly the opposite, he said, “The White House was informed through the National Security Council,” (the NSC). The unavoidable implication and James Comey admission that everyone just brushed aside, was that President Obama’s National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, was informed of the intelligence operation(s) against Donald Trump. After all, the NSC reports to the National Security Advisor.

Does the January 20, 2017, Susan Rice memo look different now?

Again, no one saw the immediate issue. What Comey just described on that March day in 2017 was the usurpation of the entire reason the Gang of Eight exists; to eliminate the potential for political weaponization of the Intelligence Community by the executive branch. The G08 notifications to the majority and minority are specifically designed to make sure what James Comey admitted to doing was never supposed to happen.

Team Obama carried out a political operation using the intelligence community and the checks-and-balances in the system were intentionally usurped. This is an indisputable fact.

Worse still, the entire legislative branch of Congress, which then specifically included the Republicans that now controlled the House and Senate, did nothing. They just ignored what was admitted. The usurpation was willfully ignored.

The mechanism of the G08 was bypassed without a twitch of condemnation or investigation…. because the common enemy was Donald Trump.

This example highlights the collapse of the system. Obama, the Executive Branch, collapsed the system by usurping the process; in essence the process became the bigger issue, and the lack of immediate Legislative Branch reaction became evidence of open acceptance. The outcomes of the usurpation played out over the next four years, Donald J. Trump was kneecapped and lost his presidency because of it. However, the bigger issue of the collapse still exists.

The downstream consequence of the Legislative Branch accepting the Executive Branch usurpation meant both intelligence committees were compromised. Additionally, the leadership of both the House and Senate were complicit. Think about this carefully. The Legislative Branch allowance of the intelligence usurpation meant the Legislative Branch was now subservient to the Intelligence Branch.

That’s where we are.

Right now.

That’s where we are.

Term-3 Obama is now back in the White House with Joe Biden.

NOTE: Former Obama National Security aide and counsel to the President, Lisa Monaco, is in her current position as Deputy Attorney General, specifically to make sure all of these revelations do not become a legal risk to Barack Obama and the people who created them.  The SSCI confirmed Monaco for this purpose because the Senate is just as much at risk.

Term-1 and Term-2 Obama usurped the ‘check and balance‘ within the system and weaponized the intelligence apparatus. During Trump’s term that weaponization was covered up by a compliant congress, complicit senate intelligence committee, and not a single member of the oversight called it out. Now, Term-3 Obama steps back in to continue the cover up and continue the weaponization.

Hopefully, you can now see the scale of the problem that surrounds us with specific citation for what has taken place. What I just explained to you above is not conspiracy theory, it is admitted fact that anyone can look upon. Yet….

Have you seen this mentioned anywhere? Have you seen this called out by anyone in Congress? Have you seen anyone in media (ally or adversary) call this out? Have you seen any member of the Judicial Branch stand up and say wait, what is taking place is not okay? Have you seen a single candidate for elected office point this out? Have you seen anyone advising a candidate to point this out?

This is our current status. It is not deniable. The truth exists regardless of our comfort.

Not a single person in power will say openly what has taken place. They are scared of the Fourth Branch. The evidence of what has taken place is right there in front of our face. The words, actions and activities of those who participated in this process are not deniable, in fact most of it is on record.

There are only two members of the Gang of Eight who have existed in place from January 2007 (the real beginning of Obama’s term, two years before he took office when the Congress flipped). Only two members of the G08 have been consistently in place from January of 2007 to right now, today. All the others came and went, but two members of the Gang of Eight have been part of that failed and collapsed oversight throughout the past 15 years, Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell.

♦ TECHNOLOGY – On a global scale – the modern intelligence gathering networks are now dependent on data collection to execute their intelligence missions. In the digital age nations have been executing various methods to gather that data. Digital surveillance has replaced other methods of interception. Those surveillance efforts have resulted in a coalescing of regional data networks based on historic multi-national relationships.

We have a recent frame of reference for the “U.S. data collection network” within the NSA. Through the allied process the Five Eyes nations all rely on the NSA surveillance database (U.K, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and U.S.) The NSA database provides the digital baseline for intelligence operations in defense of our allies. The portals into the NSA database are essentially an assembly of allies in like-minded ideological connection to the United States.

Unfortunately, there have been some revelations about the NSA database being used to monitor our allies, like in the example of Germany and surveillance on Angela Merkel’s phone. As long as “the good guys” are operating honorably, allies of the United States can feel confident about having protection from the NSA surveillance of global digital data. We warn our friends if we detect something dangerous etc.

The U.S. has nodes on communication pipelines to intercept and extract data. We have also launched hundreds, perhaps thousands, of satellites to conduct surveillance and gather up data. All of this data is fed into the NSA database where it is monitored (presumably) as a national security mechanism, and in defense of our allies.

However, what about data collection or data networks that are outside the NSA database? What do our enemies do? The NSA database is just one intelligence operation of digital surveillance amid the entire world, and we do not allow access by adversaries we are monitoring. So what do they do? What do our allies do who might not trust the United States due to past inconsistencies, ie. the Middle East?

The answers to those questions highlight other data collection networks. So, a brief review of the major players is needed.

♦ CHINA – China operates their own database. They, like the NSA, scoop up data for their system. Like us, China launches satellites and deploys other electronic data collection methods to download into their database. This is why the issues of electronic devices manufactured in China becomes problematic. Part of the Chinese data collection system involves the use of spyware, hacking and extraction.

Issues with Chinese communication company Huawei take on an added dimension when you consider the goal of the Chinese government to conduct surveillance and assemble a network of data to compete with the United States via the NSA. Other Chinese methods of surveillance and data-collection are less subversive, as in the examples of TicTok and WeChat. These are Chinese social media companies that are scraping data just like the NSA scrapes data from Facebook, Twitter and other Silicon Valley tech companies. [ Remember, the Intelligence Branch is a public-private partnership. ]

♦ RUSSIA – It is very likely that Russia operates their own database. We know Russia launches satellites, just like China and the USA, for the same purposes. Russia is also very proficient at hacking into other databases and extracting information to store and utilize in their own network. The difference between the U.S., China and Russia is likely that Russia spends more time on the hacking aspect because they do not generate actual technology systems as rapidly as the U.S. and China.

The most recent database creation is an outcome of an ally having to take action because they cannot rely on the ideology of the United States remaining consistent, as the administrations ping-pong based on ideology.

♦ SAUDI ARABIA – Yes, in 2016 we discovered that Saudi Arabia was now operating their own intelligence data-gathering operation. It would make sense, given the nature of the Middle East and the constant fluctuations in political support from the United States. It is a lesson the allied Arab community and Gulf Cooperation Council learned quickly when President Obama went to Cairo in 2009 and launched the Islamist Spring (Arab Spring) upon them.

I have no doubt the creation of the Saudi intelligence network was specifically because the Obama administration started supporting radical Islamists within the Muslim Brotherhood and threw fuel on the fires of extremism all over the Arab world.

Think about it., What would you do if you were Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, Kuwait, the UAE, Jordan, Oman or Yemen and you knew the United States could just trigger an internal uprising of al-Qaeda, ISIS and the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood to seek your destruction?

Without a doubt, those urgent lessons from 2009, 2010, 2011 triggered the formation of the Arab Intelligence Network as a network to defend itself with consistency. They assembled the network and activated it in 2017 as pictured above.

♦ Israel – Along a similar outlook to the Arab network, no doubt Israel operates an independent data collection system as a method of protecting itself from ever-changing U.S. politics amid a region that is extremely hostile to its very existence. Like the others, Israel launches proprietary satellites, and we can be sure they use covert methods to gather electronic data just like the U.S. and China.

As we have recently seen in the Pegasus story, Israel creates spyware programs that are able to track and monitor cell phone communications of targets. The spyware would not work unless Israel had access to some network where the phone meta-data was actually stored. So yeah, it makes sense for Israel to operate an independent intelligence database.

♦ Summary: As we understand the United States Intelligence Branch of government as the superseding entity that controls the internal politics of our nation, we also must consider that multiple nations have the same issue. There are major intelligence networks around the world beside the NSA “Five-Eyes” database. China, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Israel all operate proprietary databases deploying the same tools and techniques for assembly.

The geopolitical conflict that has always existed has now shifted into a digital battle-space. The Intelligence Agencies from these regions are now operating as the backbone of the government that uses them, and has become dependent on them. [<- Reread that].

Once you accept the digital-era intelligence apparatus of China, Russia, Saudi-Arabia, The United States and Israel, are now the primary national security mechanisms for stabilization of government; then you accept the importance of those intelligence operations.

Once you understand how foundational those modern intelligence operations have become for the stability and continuity of those governments…… then you begin to understand just how the United States intelligence community became more important than the government that created it.

From that point it is then critical to understand that domestic intelligence operations are underway to monitor the electronic communication of American citizens inside our own country.  YOU are under surveillance.  The parents who confront school boards are under surveillance.  The political operatives inside the FBI are monitoring everyone who comes onto the radar, that is why the National School Boards Association asked the White House, then the DOJ, to have the FBI start targeting parents.  Are things making sense now?

♦ Public Private Partnership – The modern Fourth Branch of Government is only possible because of a Public-Private partnership with the intelligence apparatus. You do not have to take my word for it, the partnership is so brazened they have made public admissions.

The biggest names in Big Tech announced in June their partnership with the Five Eyes intelligence network, ultimately controlled by the NSA, to: (1) monitor all activity in their platforms; (2) identify extremist content; (3) look for expressions of Domestic Violent Extremism (DVE); and then, (4) put the content details into a database where the Five Eyes intelligence agencies (U.K., U.S., Australia, Canada, New Zealand) can access it.

Facebook, Twitter, Google and Microsoft are all partnering with the intelligence apparatus. It might be difficult to fathom how openly they admit this, but they do. Look at this sentence in the press release (emphasis mine):

[…] “The Group will use lists from intelligence-sharing group Five Eyes adding URLs and PDFs from more groups, including the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters and neo-Nazis.”

Think about that sentence structure very carefully. They are “adding to” the preexisting list…. admitting the group (aka Big Tech) already have access to the the intelligence-sharing database… and also admitting there is a preexisting list created by the Five Eyes consortium.

Obviously, who and what is defined as “extremist content” will be determined by the Big Tech insiders themselves. This provides a gateway, another plausible deniability aspect, to cover the Intelligence Branch from any oversight.

When the Intelligence Branch within government wants to conduct surveillance and monitor American citizens, they run up against problems due to the Constitution of the United States. They get around those legal limitations by sub-contracting the intelligence gathering, the actual data mining, and allowing outside parties (contractors) to have access to the central database.

The government cannot conduct electronic searches (4th amendment issue) without a warrant; however, private individuals can search and report back as long as they have access. What is being admitted is exactly that preexisting partnership. The difference is that Big Tech will flag the content from within their platforms, and now a secondary database filled with the extracted information will be provided openly for the Intelligence Branch to exploit.

The volume of metadata captured by the NSA has always been a problem because of the filters needed to make the targeting useful. There is a lot of noise in collecting all data that makes the parts you really want to identify more difficult to capture. This new admission puts a new massive filtration system in the metadata that circumvents any privacy protections for individuals.

Previously, the Intelligence Branch worked around the constitutional and unlawful search issue by using resources that were not in the United States. A domestic U.S. agency, working on behalf of the U.S. government, cannot listen on your calls without a warrant. However, if the U.S. agency sub-contracts to say a Canadian group, or foreign ally, the privacy invasion is no longer legally restricted by U.S. law.

What was announced in June 2021 is an alarming admission of a prior relationship along with open intent to define their domestic political opposition as extremists.

July 26 (Reuters) – A counterterrorism organization formed by some of the biggest U.S. tech companies including Facebook (FB.O) and Microsoft (MSFT.O) is significantly expanding the types of extremist content shared between firms in a key database, aiming to crack down on material from white supremacists and far-right militias, the group told Reuters.

Until now, the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism’s (GIFCT) database has focused on videos and images from terrorist groups on a United Nations list and so has largely consisted of content from Islamist extremist organizations such as Islamic State, al Qaeda and the Taliban.

Over the next few months, the group will add attacker manifestos – often shared by sympathizers after white supremacist violence – and other publications and links flagged by U.N. initiative Tech Against Terrorism. It will use lists from intelligence-sharing group Five Eyes, adding URLs and PDFs from more groups, including the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters and neo-Nazis.

The firms, which include Twitter (TWTR.N) and Alphabet Inc’s (GOOGL.O) YouTube, share “hashes,” unique numerical representations of original pieces of content that have been removed from their services. Other platforms use these to identify the same content on their own sites in order to review or remove it. (read more)

The influence of the Intelligence Branch now reaches into our lives, our personal lives.

In the decades before 9/11/01 the intelligence apparatus intersected with government, influenced government, and undoubtedly controlled many institutions with it. The legislative oversight function was weak and growing weaker, but it still existed and could have been used to keep the IC in check. However, after the events of 9/11/01, the short-sighted legislative reactions opened the door to allow the surveillance state to weaponize against domestic enemies.

After the Patriot Act was triggered, not coincidentally only six weeks after 9/11, a slow and dangerous fuse was lit that ends with the intelligence apparatus being granted a massive amount of power.  Simultaneously the mission of the intelligence community now encompassed monitoring domestic threats as defined by the people who operate the surveillance system.

The problem with assembled power is always what happens when a Machiavellian network takes control over that power and begins the process to weaponize the tools for their own malicious benefit. That is exactly what the network of President Barack Obama did.

The Obama network took pre-assembled intelligence weapons (we should never have allowed to be created) and turned those weapons into political tools for his radical and fundamental change. The target was the essential fabric of our nation.

Ultimately, this corrupt political process gave power to create the Fourth Branch of Government, the Intelligence Branch. From that perspective the fundamental change was successful.

This is the scale of corrupt political compromise on both sides of the DC dynamic that we are up against.  Preserving this system is also what removing Donald Trump is all about…. And like I said in the precursor, I doubt Donald Trump fully comprehends the motives of his opposition.

There was a time not long ago when there was a lot of noise about Hillary Clinton’s “dossier’s” and how they were used to intimidate and blackmail her enemies. As is apparent in this article that was just a teaspoon out of an ocean of collected information on everyone in this country. This article was an excellent expose but begs the obvious question “ when ALL the players are compromised how can it be

“Progressive reforms had succeeded in reducing the influence of political parties over their members, but that influence had only been replaced by “organized minorities” that he described as “artificial propaganda, paid agitators, selfish interests” which “all impinge upon members of legislative bodies to force them to represent special elements rather than the great body of their constituency.” This was not healthy republican self-government.”

“Coolidge would also remind us that the Constitution does not magically sustain itself. We the people must be willing to make sacrifices of time, energy, and even financial investment in order to be active and intelligent citizens.”

Trump set the standard for his return and the big political fight to come in 2024.

Iowa, Oct. 14, 2020:

“In 2016, you voted to fire the failed and decrepit political class and you elected an outsider as your President and I finally put America First.”

“We did not come this far to overcome this much and fight this hard, only to surrender our country back to the depraved Washington swamp.”

“The Biden’s got rich while America got robbed….For decades, Biden and his cronies laughed while they shipped millions of your jobs to their friends in foreign countries and countries that you’ve never even heard of.”

“They live behind gated walls and they flooded your communities with illegal immigration, deadly drugs, MS-13, savages that assault, rape, and murder, innocent Americans. They forced our fellow citizens to live in crumbling inner cities while they spend trillions of dollars on never-ending foreign wars.”

Hi everyone, I cut my cable years ago and went on digital antenna, which I love. They just switched up our lineup and moved my favorite channel, MeTV, from 55.1 to 55.2. Now on 55.1 we have a 24/7 news channel, Spectrum News1. I’m in the Dallas area, and the news is local, or at least from Austin, not sure. Haven’t watched much. Just curious how left biased this particular network is, does anyone know? I’m guessing pretty left as a few seconds of perusal has turned up specials on J6, diversity in movies, etc.

On another topic — I have a DVR that records antenna channels onto an external drive. But the weird issue I’ve found is that these recordings will only play on my Sony Bravia TV if the show has been recorded on a channel ending in “.1.” If it’s anything else, it will NOT play on my TV, even though the recorded files appear to be the same as the “.1” recordings when viewed in the folder on my PC. So now I cannot play 55.2 recordings on my TV…if anyone knows why that might be I’d appreciate it. Thanks!

I like the way that Sundance says that Obama was “installed” in the White House. In 2008 there were reports that 10 million GOP votes disappeared giving the “win” to “Born in Kenya” Obama and Biden. Then in 2020 usurpers Biden and Harris were installed in the same manner. Here is more proof of that.

Whistleblower Robert Montgomery released a lot of damning information about Mueller/Comey/Obama illegally spying on Americans. Montgomery also stated that the CIA manipulated the election results in 2008 in order to help Obama win. And Montgomery reported that Obama’s long from birth certificate was a fraud–something that Sheriff Joe Arpaio proved.

How the CIA, Obama, and Biden were illegally spying on Americans and stealing elections

https://www.worldviewweekend.com/situation-room/audio/brannon-howse-november-4-2020

In February 2009, the Obama administration commandeered a powerful supercomputer system known as THE HAMMER. THE HAMMER includes an exploit application known as SCORECARD that is capable of hacking into elections and stealing the vote, according to CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, who designed and built THE HAMMER.

THE WHISTLEBLOWER TAPES, confidential audio recordings released by U.S. DIstrict Judge G. Murray Snow’s courtroom in November 2015, revealed that SCORECARD was deployed by the Obama team against Florida election computers to steal the 2012 presidential election on behalf of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

SCORECARD steals elections by tampering with the computers at the transfer points of state election computer systems and outside third party election data vaults as votes are being transferred. SCORECARD is now [November 2020] being activated to steal the vote on behalf of Joe Biden once again. Biden utilized THE HAMMER and SCORECARD while running for Vice President in 2012. Votes are again being stolen on Joe Biden’s behalf as he runs for President of the United States in 2020.

In August 2015, CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis L. Montgomery provided the FBI and the DOJ with evidence stored on 47 hard drives that implicates Robert Hunter Biden, son of former Vice President Joe Biden, in illegal activities, Montgomery states.

Among the 600 million pages of documents stored on those 47 hard drives of electronic data that Montgomery turned over to the FBI were 10,000 pages of documents regarding Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, according to Montgomery.

On February 3, 2009, Brennan and Clapper moved THE HAMMER to Fort Washington, Maryland and began using the foreign surveillance system for domestic surveillance, targeting President Obama’s political enemies for “blackmail and leverage.” Montgomery, as a CIA contractor, worked for John Brennan and James Clapper.

Montgomery became a whistleblower upon seeing first hand how the Obama administration had turned THE HAMMER against America. Montgomery originally designed and built THE HAMMER in 2003 as a foreign surveillance system to protect America after 9/11.

“THE HAMMER IS THE KEY TO THE COUP” — Admiral James A. “Ace” Lyons, On His Death Bed, Speaking To His Longtime Friend, Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney

They stole a super-surveillance government tool for foreign surveillance and they turned it against America and are using it to steal the Presidential election of 2020.

* Brennan and Clapper used THE HAMMER to spy on Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, 156 Article III judges, FISA Court Presiding Judge Reggie Walton, Members of Congress, Wall Street executives, Rudy Giuliani, Lt. General Michael Flynn, Donald Trump, Trump Tower, multiple Trump businesses, and members of the Trump family. Brennan and Clapper spied on Donald Trump because the CIA feared Trump. Brennan and Clapper wiretapped Donald Trump “a zillion times.”

* The Obama Whitehouse could access THE HAMMER at will through an encrypted VPN.

‘the corrupt divisions deep inside the U.S. intelligence system can now fund themselves from multinational private sector partnerships (banks, corporations and foreign entities).’ – Sundance

Those would be the white-hat partnerships. But black-hat partnerships like Iran-Contra, the Afghan heroin ratline, and (likely) today’s fentanyl and Ukrainian arms pipelines are other, openly criminal means of self-funding.

Combine opaque ‘black budget’ funding of about $85 billion with ‘multiple streams of income’ from no-oversight side businesses and corrupt partnerships, and you get an Intelligence Community that enjoys exorbitant privilege and total impunity.

Sundance is right that state-level bulwarks against electoral fraud are a good start to combat the monster that Harry Truman created in 1947, which has now hijacked the US fedgov like a wasp larva zombifying and then eating a spider.

The reality of the whole thing is that the demons from hell have all left and are running the U.S. democratic Party, this in itself will bring down the U.S to the point of destroying society starting with the family unit then moving on from there. People are choosing sides on where they stand and are making it known to all, the left or the right, this is in itself an indication of living in the last days before my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ returns to rule this planet for the millennium kingdom. Jesus come quickly.

This post is a serious overview of what we’re up against throughout the federal government.

For those who wish to get into the weeds of exactly how Obama/Holder weaponized the DOJ, PJ Media and J. Christian Adams did an in-depth look at the resumes of every single one of their high level civil service hires through 2011, division by division.

It’s appropriately titled “Every Single One”.

And every single one of these hires is a hard core radical leftist, with extensive experience in the ACLU, LGBTQ orgs, protest groups, the black power movement, communist front groups, et al, ad nauseum, ad infinitum.

Not one of them was a Republican, conservative, libertarian or even a moderate Democrat. They demoted, transferred or forced out all of those, even creating new positions for many.

Every Single One hired many more under them, and Every Single One of those were just as radical. Being Civil Service hires, they were nearly impossible to fire, and most are still there, serving as bomb throwers, “whistleblowers”, and poison pills against any president or policy to the right of Bernie Sanders.

I wrote a comment in another blog just after the 2016 election that the first two things on Trump’s first day should be demanding the resignation of every Obama appointee and working towards a quick reform of Civil Service regs to allow him to fire top level hires as well.

I learned from this nlog that he belatedly attempted to do the reforms, too late to make any difference.

Now President LOLEightyoneMillion is organizing the entire federal bureaucracy to attempt a de facto takeover of the state elections before the 2022 midterms.

Is it too late to stop them?

The only reason I’m happy to be old is that I won’t be around until 1984 to see it happen.

The only thing Orwell got wrong was the year.

Disinfo Governance Board is Back: ‘White House Task Force to Address Online Harassment and Abuse’

By Ben Bartee - July 04, 2022

The “Disinformation Governance Board” went belly-up last month. Apparently, the Orwellian authoritarianism was just too blatant.

But the censorship agenda certainly didn’t go away, it just changed forms. MAGA terrorists aren’t going to castrate themselves. It’s a dirty job, but someone’s got to do it.

Spare the rod, spoil the child.

Meet your newest BDSM dungeon master, the more innocuous-sounding “White House Task Force to Address Online Harassment and Abuse.”

It’s essentially the Disinformation Governance Board pig with lipstick – same censorship regime, same aims to suppress political opposition, same corporate-state sponsors.

The emotional pandering to justify censorship kicks off at 19:30 with an obscure professional tennis player cry bully and self-proclaimed “mental health advocate.” Her name is irrelevant in this context; what is relevant is her identity as a victim of the appropriate gender and race. She recounts with great melancholy, in somber tones, her vague story of “online abuse.”

She is a survivor of literal violence via the internet, she explains, stunning and brave. The gist of her complaint is that people are sometimes mean to her on Twitter. She doesn’t enjoy unpleasantness on social media, despite the fact that she’s a public figure. She equates unkind words to threats to her safety.

Obviously, ergo, words must be banned.

Progressive lioness, the very embodiment of bravery and stunningness, AOC, agrees. Once, leftist commentator Jimmy Dore wrote “fuck her” on the internet regarding a political dispute. That was also literal violence.

Having established the proper victim narrative – speech that privileged members of society don’t like is violence (and probably racist and transphobic and ableist as well) — Kamala Harris then presents herself.

She is in an equally melodramatic mood, as her handlers instructed her to be, for the inauguration of the White House Task Force to Address Online Harassment and Abuse.

Kamala congratulates the token victim promoting censorship for her stunning bravery. She includes in her affirming comments her weird, overly rehearsed sappy hand waving to denote nonverbal empathy. This unseemly communication strategy was presumably taught to her in some PR training program for robots to make them appear more humanlike.

The combination of Kamala’s arm-flailing and the translator on screen must raise hell for the actual hearing-disabled to keep up with all the nonverbal stuff. Then again, the whole spectacle is not really about accommodating the hearing disabled, is it? The performance is a virtue signal of the government’s “inclusiveness.”

Following Kamala, Attorney General Merrick Garland takes the stage. The top law enforcement official in the United States apparently has nothing better to do, like combatting fentanyl imports from China or prosecuting Wall St bankers actively demolishing the economy.

From his perch at the lectern, he declares a neoliberal fatwa against the First Amendment citing concerns over vague threats to the LGBTQ+++© community and Communities of Color©.

At 38:45, they introduce the diverse surgeon general festooned in his costume — intended to enhance his authority.

Online “harassment” and “abuse,” he explains using the nonverbal Kamala arms, is really a “public health” issue. Of course it is. Everything is now a biomedical state Public Health© permanent emergency. Why would online “harassment” be any different? The “experts” have deemed it so and assumed authority over everything.

The important questions they won’t ask are:

Why are people so emotionally fragile that they require the government to soothe their hurt feelings by punishing their ideological opponents for speech?

Even if censorship of free expression online were a laudable goal, where does the government derive the authority to do so?

Who will oversee the overseers to ensure they won’t abuse their power?

None of those questions are addressed even in passing. Instead, they merely announce the stripping of more of Americans’ rapidly vanishing rights by undermining fundamental Constitutional rights. No further explanation is required. Who needs legal authority – did you not see the diverse Person of hate crime victim at the beginning? Censorship is an emergency moral issue.

“Abuse” and “harassment” obviously — just like “hatespeech” or “dangerous speech” or any other machination of social justice academics — mean whatever the government wants them to mean at any given time.

Their definitions are flexible across contexts and wholly arbitrary.

I, for instance, got kicked off Facebook for merely using a word that rhymes with “canny” in jest. I didn’t mean it. The term wasn’t even directed at any particular individual! Whom did I “abuse”? Whom did I “harass”? Facebook never elaborated on the details.

At the time, there was no specific prohibition of that term on the platform – but it didn’t matter.

When you give a bureaucrat a ban hammer, everything becomes a nail – whether he/she/non-binary works for the government or a tech corporation (which, in practice, are increasingly one and the same).

This metaphor, one I’ve used probably a half dozen times, is cliché. But I don’t care because it’s perfect.

The social justice activists (and the government that uses them to justify their censorship regimes) are Hamas terrorists firing rockets from schools and hospitals. They frame their narratives to strawman their opponents as evil bigots attacking “online safety” or “human rights” or whatever. Any pushback is an attack on protected classes.

The “White House Task Force to Address Online Harassment and Abuse” is yet another cheap trick by political extremists to slip through Orwellian censorship regimes under the auspices of some variation of human rights.

Let us reject them and remove them from power.

Abe Shinzo Spent His Last Days Advocating for Defending Taiwan from a Belligerent China

By Frances Martel 8 Jul 2022

Former Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo spent much of his public effort in the months leading up to his assassination on Friday advocating for defending the nation of Taiwan from a potential Chinese invasion, outraging the Communist Party into threatening a “bloodbath” if he did not stop.

Abe served as prime minister for a year in 2006 and again from 2012 to 2020, making him the country’s longest-serving leader in that role. He resigned in 2020, citing a longtime struggle with ulcerative colitis that had also curtailed his first term in office, but he remained a prominent figure in Japanese and international politics in the two years following his second resignation.

Abe died on Friday after an assassin, identified as Yamagami Tetsuya, shot him twice with what reports currently indicate appeared to be a homemade firearm. Japanese media report that Yamagami confessed to the crime but claimed to not have a “political grudge” against the former prime minister.

Abe was the longtime leader of the conservative Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which has for years advocated for Japan to elevate its status as a defense power, including potentially establishing a proper military. Japan does not have armed forces – only “Self-Defense Forces” in light of its post-World War II constitution.

As part of his advocacy for Japan to elevate itself as a defense heavyweight, Abe had grown increasingly vocal in insisting that China invading neighboring Taiwan, a sovereign country that China insists falsely is a rogue province under Beijing, would be an “emergency” for Japan.

Under communist dictator Xi Jinping, China has grown increasingly belligerent on the issue of Taiwan, repeatedly threatening an invasion. Xi himself promised in a 2019 speech that anyone supporting Taiwan as a sovereign state would have their “bones ground to powder.”

Abe first appeared to return to political prominence in 2021 after some time in private life following his resignation. Reports in November indicated the former prime minister was planning to visit Taiwan to show support in person.

A month later, Abe publicly affirmed, “a Taiwan emergency is a Japanese emergency,” a mantra he would repeat often for what ended up being the rest of his life. The Chinese Foreign Ministry responded by promising a bloodbath.

“Anyone who dares to return to the old path of militarism and defy the limits of the Chinese people will face a bloodbath,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin warned in December.

The Foreign Ministry’s official English-language transcript of Wang’s remarks omitted the word “bloodbath,” instead translating his warning as, “Those who dare to pursue the old path of militarism and challenge our bottom line will find themselves on a collision course with the Chinese people!”

Abe did not heed the warning. The former government head held a video conversation with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen in March, repeating the call for the world to defend the island democracy.

“Last year, at a seminar held by a Taiwan think tank, I said that if Taiwan has a problem, then Japan has a problem, and the Japan-US alliance also has a problem,” Abe told Tsai. “Of course, this was a way of expressing my own sense of urgency, and I myself advocated for the concept of a free and open Indo-Pacific. The vast Indo-Pacific Ocean where Taiwan and Japan are located must be an ocean in which we can maintain freedom and openness.”

Abe asserted in a column published in April that Russia’s expansion of its eight-year-old invasion of Ukraine two months prior should be a call for the United States to abandon its policy of “strategic ambiguity” with Taiwan. The policy consists of Washington not formally recognizing Taiwan as a state or engaging in any military pacts with it, but selling Taiwan weapons and hinting that it would support the island nation in the event of a Chinese invasion. Neither China nor Taiwan have any certainty regarding how America would act in the event of a Chinese attack.

“Given the change in circumstances since the policy of strategic ambiguity was adopted, the U.S. should issue a statement that is not open to misinterpretation or multiple interpretations,” Abe wrote in April. “The time has come for the U.S. to make clear that it will defend Taiwan against any attempted Chinese invasion.”

“The human tragedy that has befallen Ukraine has taught us a bitter lesson. There must no longer be any room for doubt in our resolve concerning Taiwan,” Abe concluded, “and in our determination to defend freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law.”

The Chinese Foreign Ministry responded to the column at the time through a statement, by – bizarrely – China’s ambassador to Liberia, Ren Yisheng.

“The Taiwan question is purely China’s own affair and none of Japan’s business,” Ren wrote. “It is dangerous and futile for some people in Japan to mention Taiwan and Ukraine in the same breath and incite ‘breakthroughs’ in the relations with Taiwan.”

Nearly a month before his death, Abe again defied China’s warnings, issuing remarks in the Axios Outlook Symposium encouraging Western countries, especially America, to “create a situation in which China will relinquish its goal of militarily taking over Taiwan,” Taiwan News paraphrased.

“We must not underestimate their [China’s] efforts. Any infringement on Taiwan is an infringement on Japan,” Abe repeated.

Outbreak of highly contagious Ebola-like virus a ‘serious concern’

Ghana reports two cases of Marburg for the first time, a haemorrhagic fever with a death rate of up to 88 per cent

By Tom Collins Dakar and Sarah Newey, Global Health Security Correspondent 8 July 2022 • 11:01am

Two people have died in Ghana after contracting a highly contagious Ebola-like virus, sparking a rush to identify potential contacts and squash the outbreak before it spreads.

It is the first time the country has reported cases of Marburg virus, a haemorrhagic fever with a death rate of up to 88 per cent, and only the second outbreak in West Africa.

The patients were identified in Ghana’s southern Ashanti region, but only after they had died – raising fears of broader transmission. The virus is transmitted to people via fruit bats, and spreads between humans through direct contact with the bodily fluids of infected people.

“An outbreak of a filovirus such as Marburg is always a serious concern, especially in a setting that hasn’t managed outbreaks before, and when cases are diagnosed postmortem,” said Dr Tom Fletcher, an infectious disease consultant at the Royal Liverpool University hospital.

“Whilst Marburg probably doesn’t transmit as easily as Ebola, delayed diagnosis often means that healthcare workers have been exposed and it's likely there would be cases. We also don’t have as many tools in the cupboard in terms of diagnostics, treatments and vaccines compared to Ebola,” he told the Telegraph.

Marburg virus was first identified in 1967 during two epidemics that occurred concurrently in Marburg and Frankfurt in Germany, and in Belgrade, Serbia. The outbreak was linked to laboratory work using African green monkeys imported from Uganda.

In the decades since, sporadic epidemics have been identified in countries including Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Kenya. The largest outbreak to date was in Angola in 2005, when 374 caught the virus and 329 died – a fatality rate of 88 per cent.

Last year, in the first outbreak to hit West Africa, Guinea also reported one case. Although 170 contacts were monitored, the virus did not spread more broadly.

The World Health Organization said the two patients in Ghana had symptoms including diarrhoea, fever, nausea and vomiting. Samples have been sent to the Institut Pasteur in Senegal, a WHO Collaborating Centre, to confirm the diagnosis.

The UN agency added late on Thursday that it will send an emergency team to Ghana to try and prevent a serious outbreak.

“We are working closely with the country to ramp up detection, track contacts, be ready to control the spread of the virus,” said Dr Francis Kasolo, WHO representative in Ghana.

The Marburg virus is a top concern for public health officials who are worried about the next pandemic. It has the potential to cause serious public health emergencies but there are currently no vaccines or antiviral treatments approved to treat the virus.

Although fatality rates are high, supportive care that includes rehydration with oral or intravenous fluids can improve chances of survival.

Drilling Under Lake Mead To Drain The Last Drop

July 8, 2022 12 Comments

Dane Wigington GeoengineeringWatch.org

Many are now aware of and justifiably concerned about Lake Mead soon becoming what is known as a “dead pool”. When this milestone is reached, the ramifications for tens of millions of Americans is beyond grave. What is not being discussed is the Lake Mead 3rd intake drain that was designed to drain every last drop from this diminishing and dying largest reservoir in the US. The remaining water will keep Las Vegas Nevada partying till the last possible moment. Even more dire is the official denial of the ongoing drought inducing covert climate engineering operations that are the core causal factor behind the unprecedented drought in the Western US. The six minute video below provides much needed information on the unfolding cataclysm surrounding the collapsing Colorado River water source.

This One Map Is Terrifying – If Food Shortages, Gas Prices , Overall Inflation & The CA ‘TruckPOCALYPSE’ Isn’t Enough For Americans To Contend With, A Water Shortage Is Next

10-7-2022 < SGT Report 4 741 words

by Susan Duclos, All News Pipeline:

The odds of this many issues hitting America all within short time span of less than two years, is astronomical unless it was by design, which of course will have the MSM, the ‘Ministry of Truth’ folks at NewsGuard, and a handful of others pushing the “official narrative” pointing at us and screaming “conspiracy theorists.”

People have a right to see all the issues, all together, to build the “big picture,” decide for themselves what the odds are of so much happening all in the past two years, and come to their own conclusions.

TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/ 

The food shortages we have been documenting for more than two years after the mass lockdowns for COVID started the downward spiral in our economy, with businesses being closed as “non-essential,” like schools and restaurants, causing a lack of demand for produce, meats and other items “essential” to those businesses, which in turn caused farmers to destroy their produce, ranchers to “euthanize” their livestock, and there began the shortages in retail stores.

Prices for the food available then started increasing far faster than any increase to income, after millions were deemed “non-essential” along with their livelihood, then became unemployed.

Then the gas prices started spiking, long before the Russia/Ukraine war, even thought the Biden regime is trying to lay the blame on Russia for the astoundingly high prices to just fill up your vehicle.

Now more issues are hitting us while the aforementioned ones are still worsening.

For the record, these newer issues will also cause even more food shortages, gas and food price increases, and affect the ability of Americans to survive.

Now we are learning from Mike Adams over at Natural News that 70,000 independent truckers are being forced off the roads and out of jobs because of anew CA law.

In addition to the direct impact on California’s 70,000 owner-operators who have seven days to cease long-standing independent businesses, the impact of taking tens of thousands of truck drivers off the road will have devastating repercussions on an already fragile supply chain, increasing costs and worsening runaway inflation.

The new law, passed and signed by Democrats, essentially outlaws independent contractors from operating transport trucks in the state of California. When it goes into effect later this week — after the US Supreme Court refused to intervene last week — California will be hit with a “truckpocalypse” shutdown of transportation capacity.

As we have reported before, truckers are the life-force of America, they deliver everything from the fuel we use, to the food we eat, the water we drink, the clothes we wear, the medications we, and hospitals use, and everything else needed for us to survive.

CA’s attack against independent truckers comes on top of the fact that reports in 2022 show a nationwide trucker shortage already. In February 2022, the U.S. was already seeing a shortage of 60,000 truck drivers

By June 2022 reports showed that even conservative projections indicate that by 2023 there will be a shortage of 240,000 drivers in the U.S.

Many have already seen this graphic below of how important to our very survival truckers are to us, but it is worth taking another look at in light of the next issue hitting America, which is abnormally dry, and severe drought-ridden areas from coast to coast.

If trucks stopped running, then by the second week clean water would begin to run dry, and by week four, the clean water supply would “be exhausted.”

Now, despite CA’s law taking another estimated 70,000 truckers off the road, we are not talking about a complete trucker stoppage, but with the ongoing and growing shortages of drivers, add in the following map of the drought-like conditions in the U.S. and we are looking at disaster on top of catastrophe on top of one of the most negligent, Anti-American white house regimes in history.

A huge hat tip on two fronts goes out to Steve Quayle. First, the map below was linked to by him on his website, which is how I found it at the https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu website. It shows the abnormally dry states, along with the states suffering from moderate, severe, extreme and exceptional droughts.

New DNA study reveals that Egyptian pharaoh Ehnaton (Amenhotep IV) was a human-alien hybrid

by space · May 9, 2021

A new genetic study shows that the lineage of Egyptian pharaohs was subjected to deliberate genetic manipulation by a technologically advanced civilization.

Some call it definitive proof that the pyramid builders had a close connection to beings originating elsewhere in the universe.

Stuart Fleischmann, associate professor of comparative genomics at Swiss University in Cairo, and his team recently published the results of a 7-year study that mapped the genomes of 9 ancient Egyptian pharaohs. Their findings could change world history.

Fleischmann and his team subjected the ancient DNA samples to a process called polymer chain reaction (PCR). In the field of molecular biology, this method is often used to replicate and amplify a single copy of a DNA fragment, allowing researchers to get a clear picture of the human genetic fingerprint.

Eight of the nine samples yielded interesting but typical results. The ninth sample belonged to Ehnaton (Amenhotep IV), the enigmatic pharaoh of the 14th century B.C. and father of Tutankhamun.

The source of the DNA sample was a small fragment of dried brain tissue, and the test was repeated using bone tissue, but the same results were obtained.

One of the samples turned out to be a gene called CXPAC-5, which is responsible for cortical growth. The abnormality can be seen in the image below.

The right section shows the prevalence of the CXPAC5 gene in a normal person. On the left is a DNA sample from Ehnaton (Amenhotep IV) .

The increased activity in the genome of Ehnaton (Amenhotep IV) suggests that he had a higher skull volume because of the need to accommodate a larger cortex.

But what mutation could have caused the growth of the human brain? Despite years of breakthroughs in genetics, we have yet to discover such a method.

Could this 3,300-year-old evidence indicate ancient genetic manipulation? Was it the work of advanced extraterrestrial beings? Is the mythology of ancient Egypt something more than a collection of allegorical stories?

Professor Fleischmann explains:

“Telomerase [a genetic enzyme] is destroyed by only two processes: extreme aging and extreme mutation. According to genetic and archaeological data, Ehnaton (Amenhotep IV) n lived to about 45 years of age. That’s not enough to use up all the chromosomal telomerase, so that leaves one uncomfortable but possible explanation.

“Also in favor of this hypothesis is the fact that electron microscope analysis revealed evidence of a nucleotide cicatrix, which is a signal sign of DNA helix healing after exposure to strong mutagens.”

This suggests that Ehnaton (Amenhotep IV), one of the most enigmatic pharaohs of ancient Egypt, was subjected to genetic modification during his lifetime. If so, this statement supports the theory that ancient aliens once visited a civilization that lived on the banks of the Nile.

Another interesting piece of evidence supports this hypothesis. The picture below shows two photos of bone tissue taken under a microscope from the skull of Ehnaton (Amenhotep IV) and another mummy of the same age.

The bone tissue on the left is much denser and fundamentally different at the nanoscopic level. This increase in skull bone strength is an indicator of enhanced brain development.

“This is an exciting finding, to say the least,” Fleischmann said. “My team and I have submitted papers for review, and we’ve run and redone the tests enough times to be sure they’re accurate.

“I don’t know all the implications of our findings, but I am confident that they should at least steer the scientific community in a direction that would have been immediately rejected decades ago.

This research could cause an unprecedented shift in the scientific paradigm. If aliens were actively involved in the lives of the most influential people thousands of years ago, does that mean they will return? Perhaps they never left at all.

But the most important aspect would be the existence of humans, direct descendants of the royal dynasty of ancient Egypt, who still possess alien genes implanted in the genomes of their ancestors.

Synopsis

Ehnaton was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh reformer from the 18th dynasty, known as Amenhotep IV until the 5th year of his reign. He ruled for 17 years and died approximately between 1336 and 1334 B.C. His reign, marked by religious and political reforms, is called the “Amarna period”

This One Map Is Terrifying – If Food Shortages, Gas Prices , Overall Inflation & The CA ‘TruckPOCALYPSE’ Isn’t Enough For Americans To Contend With, A Water Shortage Is Next

July 10, 2022  by Susan Duclos, All News Pipeline:

The odds of this many issues hitting America all within short time span of less than two years, is astronomical unless it was by design, which of course will have the MSM, the ‘Ministry of Truth’ folks at NewsGuard, and a handful of others pushing the “official narrative” pointing at us and screaming “conspiracy theorists.”

People have a right to see all the issues, all together, to build the “big picture,” decide for themselves what the odds are of so much happening all in the past two years, and come to their own conclusions.

TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/ 

The food shortages we have been documenting for more than two years after the mass lockdowns for COVID started the downward spiral in our economy, with businesses being closed as “non-essential,” like schools and restaurants, causing a lack of demand for produce, meats and other items “essential” to those businesses, which in turn caused farmers to destroy their produce, ranchers to “euthanize” their livestock, and there began the shortages in retail stores.

Prices for the food available then started increasing far faster than any increase to income, after millions were deemed “non-essential” along with their livelihood, then became unemployed.

Then the gas prices started spiking, long before the Russia/Ukraine war, even thought the Biden regime is trying to lay the blame on Russia for the astoundingly high prices to just fill up your vehicle.

Now more issues are hitting us while the aforementioned ones are still worsening.

For the record, these newer issues will also cause even more food shortages, gas and food price increases, and affect the ability of Americans to survive.

Now we are learning from Mike Adams over at Natural News that 70,000 independent truckers are being forced off the roads and out of jobs because of anew CA law.

In addition to the direct impact on California’s 70,000 owner-operators who have seven days to cease long-standing independent businesses, the impact of taking tens of thousands of truck drivers off the road will have devastating repercussions on an already fragile supply chain, increasing costs and worsening runaway inflation.

The new law, passed and signed by Democrats, essentially outlaws independent contractors from operating transport trucks in the state of California. When it goes into effect later this week — after the US Supreme Court refused to intervene last week — California will be hit with a “truckpocalypse” shutdown of transportation capacity.

As we have reported before, truckers are the life-force of America, they deliver everything from the fuel we use, to the food we eat, the water we drink, the clothes we wear, the medications we, and hospitals use, and everything else needed for us to survive.

CA’s attack against independent truckers comes on top of the fact that reports in 2022 show a nationwide trucker shortage already. In February 2022, the U.S. was already seeing a shortage of 60,000 truck drivers

By June 2022 reports showed that even conservative projections indicate that by 2023 there will be a shortage of 240,000 drivers in the U.S.

Many have already seen this graphic below of how important to our very survival truckers are to us, but it is worth taking another look at in light of the next issue hitting America, which is abnormally dry, and severe drought-ridden areas from coast to coast.

If trucks stopped running, then by the second week clean water would begin to run dry, and by week four, the clean water supply would “be exhausted.”

Now, despite CA’s law taking another estimated 70,000 truckers off the road, we are not talking about a complete trucker stoppage, but with the ongoing and growing shortages of drivers, add in the following map of the drought-like conditions in the U.S. and we are looking at disaster on top of catastrophe on top of one of the most negligent, Anti-American white house regimes in history.

A huge hat tip on two fronts goes out to Steve Quayle. First, the map below was linked to by him on his website, which is how I found it at the https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu  website. It shows the abnormally dry states, along with the states suffering from moderate, severe, extreme and exceptional droughts.

President Biden and His Admiral Have Boarded a Sinking Ship

By Jay Tucker July 9, 2022

Admiral (not a Navy admiral) "Rachel" Levine is a so-called transgender woman, a pediatrician, and now a U.S. asst. secretary for health. Levine has joined President Biden and many others in the LGBT campaign to promote "gender-affirming care" for youths. "There is no argument among medical professionals — pediatricians, pediatric endocrinologists, adolescent medicine physicians, adolescent psychiatrists, psychologists, etc. — about the value and the importance of gender-affirming care[.]"

Levine's "no argument" assertions are hogwash for many obvious reasons. Here are three.

First, the 2012 Report of the American Psychiatric Association Task Force (Report), at 4, emphasized that there is no consensus regarding treatment of children with GID (now called G.D.), because "opinions vary widely among experts" as to treatments.

Second, the 2012 World Professional Association for Transgender Health Standards of Care asserts that social transition for children, which would include use of opposite-sex bathrooms and participation in opposite-sex sports, "is a controversial issue."

Third, the American College of Pediatricians has concluded: "Ethics alone demands an end to the use of pubertal suppression with GnRH agonists, cross-sex hormones, and sex reassignment surgeries in children and adolescents. The American College of Pediatricians recommends an immediate cessation of these interventions, as well as an end to promoting gender ideology via school curricula and legislative policies."

So much for Levine's nonsense about "no argument." Such assertions can be only explained as willful attempts to persuade uninformed vulnerable children and their parents.

In the same vein, President Biden has climbed on board with the admiral by announcing his social transition proposal that K–12 schools must allow males who claim to be females to access female private spaces, such as showers, bathrooms, and sleeping areas. In addition, schools must require staff to use false and confusing pronouns when referring to so-called transgender people and must allow male staff to dress as women while on the job. Specifically claiming reliance upon reasoning of the Supreme Court in the Bostock Title VII employment case, Biden proposes to accomplish his goals by applying Title IX prohibitions of sex discrimination in education also to sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination.

It appears that Biden did not read the Court's wise warning in the Bostock opinion. The Court warned that it did not purport to address issues such as use of "sex-segregated bathrooms, locker rooms, and dress codes or anything else of the kind," whether under Title VII or any other law. Nonetheless, Biden has cavalierly declared that the reasoning in Bostock applies to the world of K–12 education under Title IX.

Biden's proposal ("Proposal") was issued not only in spite of the Court's warning, but also in spite of the fact that the DOJ in a January 2021 Memorandum for the Civil Rights Division (Memorandum) determined that reasoning to be defective. Below is an explanation of just four of the DOJ's determinations:

In Title IX (unlike in Title VII), Congress expressly provided that "notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this chapter, nothing contained herein shall be construed to prohibit any educational institution receiving funds under this Act, from maintaining separate living facilities for the different sexes." The DOJ determined (as to separate bathrooms and locker rooms, etc.): "This provision supports the conclusion that Title IX's prohibition on sex discrimination does not prohibit different treatment of the sexes where the physiological differences of the sexes are relevant" (Memorandum, p. 15).

The interpretation of a statute in Bostock has no bearing on the proper interpretation of the Constitution, including whether classifications based on sexual orientation or transgender status should be treated as sex-based classifications (or otherwise trigger heightened scrutiny) (Memorandum, p. 22).

"The Civil Rights Division will not lightly assume that Title IX should be interpreted in a way that "would frustrate the purposes" of that law, Gebser v. Lago Vista Indep. Sch. Dist., 524 U.S. 274, 285 (1998). It would frustrate Title IX's purpose to read its text as prohibiting the single-sex teams that have ensured women equal opportunity in athletics for nearly 50 years. It would likewise frustrate those purposes to read Title IX to prohibit sex-specific facilities that allow men and women privacy from the other sex, particularly given that many boys and girls will be undergoing physiological changes associated with their biological sex at the same time that they are participating in, or attempting to participate in, education programs and activities" (Memorandum, p. 17).

"At a bare minimum, no statute should be read to require or permit giving transgender individuals special — as opposed to equal — treatment. ... Bostock does not prevent recipients from adopting sex-specific policies and facilities when the physiological differences of the sexes are relevant, including with respect to living assignments, bathrooms, locker rooms, and competitive sports teams. ... Thus, for example, a women's volleyball team, ice hockey team, weightlifting team, or rugby team may not allow men who identify as women to play on the team if other men are not allowed to, because doing so would discriminate against non-transgender men and in favor of transgender men based on sex, which is unlawful under Bostock" (Memorandum, p. 17).

Parents, children, legislators, judges, and medical professionals are all becoming aware of the material risks and consequences (including irreversibility) of medical interventions such as puberty-blockers, cross-sex hormones, and "sex reassignment" surgery. Such awareness has caused states (like Arkansas) and medical authorities in sovereign nations (Sweden and Finland) to prohibit or recommend against administration of such treatments for most minors. Other states (like South Dakota) have enacted prohibitions on participation by males in opposite-sex sports to protect constitutional rights of fairness and other rights. A teacher sued his school board for compelling him to affirm opposite-sex pronouns in violation of state and federal constitutional and statutory protections.

Studies conclude that men who transition by taking testosterone suppressants can rejuvenate whatever muscle mass, strength, and power they may lose initially through proper training. A Mayo Clinic doctor has confirmed that from a scientific standpoint, male swimmer "Lia" Thomas absolutely does have a biological edge over teammates and competitors. A study of endocrinologists, the physicians most likely to care for so-called trans patients, found that "over 80% have never received training on care of transgender patients." Further, leaders in "gender" health care are admitting that many gender-care professionals are recklessly violating their own presumed standards of care. Across the country, parents are suing school boards for overtly and/or secretly grooming children in false and dangerous gender ideology in violation of parental Constitutional rights to control the education and upbringing of their children.

The time has come for parents, voters, legislators, judges, and the public to aggressively reject both false transgender narratives and unlawful government meddling in health care.

Colorado takes over 106 oil, gas wells after crackdown on companies

By Judith Kohler | jkohler@denverpost.com | The Denver Post

PUBLISHED: July 8, 2022 at 9:46 a.m. | UPDATED: July 8, 2022 at 9:48 a.m.

Regulators suspend $2.2M penalty, but revoke companies’ ability to operate in Colorado

State regulators are taking over a combined 106 wells from two oil and gas companies that faced several alleged violations and a total fine of $2.2 million.

The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission voted to suspend the fine. But the commission revoked the ability of the companies, 31 Operating and Lasso Oil and Gas, to operate in Colorado.

The wells, mostly in Rio Blanco County, will be put on the state’s orphan-well list and closed and cleaned up with money in a state fund that uses revenue from fees on the industry and federal dollars.

Kelly Rosenberg, the COGCC enforcement officer, said in a recent meeting that the alleged violations stretch back to 2018 and haven’t been cleared up. etc and the news story continues...

Purpose of Biden-Financed Bio-Projects Was to Create Infections That Damage Agriculture: Russian MoD

Posted by Brandon Campbell July 9, 2022 Posted in Uncategorized

The Russian military has already detailed the president’s son’s implication in a massive, clandestine biological weapons and pharmaceutical research program in Ukraine’s biological laboratories involving US government agencies, big pharma, the Ukrainian military and a number of Western ‘charitable’ and ‘health-related’ foundations.

‘The main focus of the research projects involving Pentagon military contractor Black & Veatch and Metabiota, the Hunter Biden investment fund-linked biotech company, were concentrated around quarantine infections that could damage nations’ agricultural sectors, Igor Kirillov, the chief of Russia’s Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense Troops has indicated.

 simultaneously with the ‘UP’ series projects in Ukraine. Their main focus was “Take note of the report for the US military by Black & Veatch and Metabiota. In accordance with this document, ‘veterinary projects’ with the code ‘TAP’ were implementedeconomically significant quarantine infections, capable of causing damage to the agriculture of individual nations and entire regions, such as galanders, African and classical swine fever, highly infectious pathogenic avian influence, and Newcastle Disease,” Kirillov said in a briefing Thursday in Moscow.

We find the latest news in the video below

Worst 5 States for Preppers to Retire

If the grid went down nationwide and society as we know it collapsed, would be people be escaping from your state, or escaping to your state?

The Pentagon appeared particularly interested in African swine fever, according to the Russian MoD’s analysis, with the pathogen studied under two separate projects.

“The TAP-3 project is aimed at studying the spread of the African swine fever pathogen through wild animals, under which the migration routes of wild boars in Ukraine were studied. Under the TAP-6 project, this process was scaled up to the countries of Eastern Europe,” Kirillov explained.

The RCBD Troops commander specified that the research into populations of carriers of potentially dangerous zoonotic infections was conducted by scientists from the University of Florida’s Emerging Pathogens Institute in areas of western and central Ukraine, as well as territories bordering both Russia and Belarus.

This research has not been without its poisonous ‘fruit’, Kirillov indicated, pointing to the worsening pathological situation as it relates to African swine fever across Eastern Europe, as detailed by World Organization for Animal Health data, which has found that since 2014, disease outbreaks have been recorded in the Baltic states (more than 12,000 cases), and Poland (13,000+ cases), with economic losses from the outbreaks estimated at over 2.4 billion euros ($2.44 billion US).

Metabiota Used as Arm of the Pentagon

Kirillov said that the Biden-linked Metabiota stands out even among the other Western government and corporate actors involved in dubious biological research in Ukraine.

“The available materials indicate that this company served as a cover for solving tasks that were dubious from the point of view of international law and used by the US political elite to carry out non-transparent financial activities in various regions of the world,” Kirillov said.

“To give a specific example, Metabiota was involved in the response to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. The activities of the company’s employees raised questions from the World Health Organization in terms of their compliance with biosafety requirements,” the senior officer said, pointing to a report by an international group of experts who took part in the fight against the Ebola virus in Sierra Leone in 2015. The report indicated that in addition to failing to comply with regulations on treating patients, Metabiota workers concealed the Pentagon’s involvement in the work, effectively allowing the biotech company to be used as an arm of the Defense Department, which sought to isolate highly virulent strains of the Ebola virus among the infected and deceased and to export these strains back to the United States.

“The Pentagon contractor’s heightened interest in the Ebola virus is not accidental: the disease is known to be among the most pathogenic for human beings. During the outbreak that began in 2014, 28,000 people fell ill, with 11,000 dying, for a lethality rate of about 40 percent,” Kirillov emphasized.

The Russian military, he said, has also recovered documents detailing Metabiota’s plans to work with the Science and Technology Center in Ukraine, the Kiev-headquartered international intergovernmental organization with offices across the former Soviet space, to study the Ebola virus on Ukrainian territory. Kirillov presented a slide with an image of a funding request for the diagnosis of dangerous pathogens, including Ebola, in Ukraine, with the research expected to take place at the Mechnikov Anti-Plague Institute in Odessa.

“Taking into account that the disease is not endemic, and, moreover, has never been recorded in Ukraine, questions naturally arise as to why such studies are needed and their true purpose,” the commander said.

At Thursday’s briefing, Kirillov also revealed that the RCBD Troops were able to recover a key conceptual document on the activities of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) for the period from 2005 to 2016.

The detailed 150 page document, prepared by a group of US experts, “contains information on the assessment of the effectiveness of healthcare systems, veterinary medicine and biosecurity,” in Ukraine, and serves as a “conceptual document for further planning of the Pentagon’s military-biological activities in the country, including conclusions on the implementation of its main directions,” Kirillov said.

Quoting from the document, the officer indicated that the Pentagon was aware that Ukraine had no legislation in place regarding the control of highly dangerous pathogens, and that there were “significant gaps” in its biosecurity, with funding insufficient for biological laboratories to respond effectively to a public health emergency.

The report showed that the DTRA was aware of numerous gross safety violations at the Eastern European country’s biological facilities, from non-locking fencing systems to broken or deactivated pathogen access control systems, lack of alarm systems, etc.

The document positively accessed the DTRA’s own role in Ukraine, boasting its success in transporting Ukraine’s national collection of microorganisms to the United States, as well as the implementation of projects studying dangerous and economically significant infections.

“The appendix to the documents contains ambiguous comments regarding the Ukrainian biothreat reduction program’s sponsors and executors who have nothing to do with biosecurity issues. Specifically, the Soros Foundation is mentioned,” Kirillov said.

Bundeswehr’s Crimean Congo Fever Research

“As we have already noted, Ukraine and other nations in the post-Soviet space have become a biological weapons testing ground not only for the United States, but also for their allies in the NATO bloc, particularly Germany,” Kirillov indicated as he presented new information about the German military’s biological activities in the Eastern European country.

According to the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense Troops’ analysis, Bundeswehr specialists paid special attention to the causative agent of the Crimean Congo fever, engaging in research screening the susceptibility of Ukrainians to the disease through the generalization of demographic, epidemiological and clinical data to try to identify new regional virus genotypes and select strains that cause latent clinical forms of the disease.

Krillov said that that a study of Crimean Congo fever’s natural foci was conducted under the guise of ‘improving Ukraine’s epidemiological surveillance’ at the Kiev-based Institute of Veterinary Medicine, and the aforementioned Mechnikov Anti-Plague Institute.

“… Pay special attention to lethal cases of infection with the Crimean-Congo fever, as this will allow us to isolate virus strains from the deceased with maximum pathogenicity and virulence for human beings,” Kirillov said, quoting from a recovered report.

The disease has a lethality rate of up to 30 percent, and requires lengthy, costly treatment and prevention measures.

Tick-Borne Infection Research

Kirillov also provided new details on US microbiologists’ research into tick-borne infections, with this work funded by the DTRA within the framework of projects UP-1 and UP-8. A separate, additional project studying ixodid ticks, hosts of a number of dangerous infections, including Crimean Congo fever, tularemia and West Nile virus, was implemented by scientists from Texas A&M University. The ticks were collected mostly from regions of southeastern Ukraine, with natural foci for infection similar to neighboring Russian territory, according to Kirillov’s information.

Coincidentally, the officer said, this work “coincided with a rapid increase in the incidence of tick-borne borreliosis among the Ukrainian population, as well as an increase in the number of ticks in a number of Russian regions bordering Ukraine.” The Russian MoD and scientists are investigating the matter, according to Kirillov.

Captured Ukrainian Servicemen Suffering From Range of Illnesses

Kirillov also provided new data on the state of the health of Ukrainian servicemen who laid down their arms and surrendered to Russian forces in the course of the ongoing conflict. A significant percentage are suffering from diseases, he said.

“33 percent of surveyed servicemen were ill from hepatitis A, over four percent had renal syndrome, 20 percent had West Nile virus. These figures are significantly higher than the average [for Ukraine]. Given the fact that these diseases were actively studied by the Pentagon in the framework of its Ukrainian projects, there is reason to believe that personnel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were involved in experiments as volunteers to assess tolerance to dangerous infectious diseases,” Kirillov said.

“According to available information, during inpatient treatment of Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel at medical institutions, the absence of a therapeutic effect to the introduction of antibacterial drugs has been recorded. High concentrations of antibiotics, including sulfonamides and fluoroquinolones, have been detected in their blood,” the officer said.

“This may indicate the prophylactic use of antibiotics and the training of personnel to carry out tasks in conditions of biological contamination, for example, the causative agent of cholera, which indirectly confirms information held by the Russian Ministry of Defense on the planned use of biological agents by Ukrainian special forces,” Kirillov concluded.

They are now destroying food in Australia! Fruit and vegetable crops wiped out by unseasonal rainy, cold weather in Queensland and floods in New South Wales (videos and pictures)

Jul 8, 2022

Things could be about to go from bad to worse on supermarket shelves as unseasonal rain wipes out more crops in Queensland.

Prices have already skyrocketed for fresh produce like lettuce and strawberries, and now other fruit and vegetables are set to follow suit.

There has been widespread rain across parts of the state in what the Bureau of Meteorology describes as abnormal conditions for this time of year.

One of Australia’s largest fruit and vegetable growers, Cross Family Farms, is recording major losses from beans to tomatoes in Bundaberg.

“A lot of our beans have all died because of the wet weather, so that’s probably our most impacted. Those and the snow peas,” said farmer Trevor Cross.

“Zucchini plants are in the ground, but they don’t like the rain. The harvest drags out a lot because it’s too cold for them to grow.

“You’ll see a lot of cracking in the tomatoes, as well as leaf disease.”

Mr Cross warned supply would be affected in the coming weeks and months, and prices will rise.

“In general, anything that’s out in the elements is going to have issues,” he said.

Prices to rise

The co-owner and manager of Start Fresh Fruit Market, April Elazzi, said wholesale prices were already going up and it was not clear how high they would reach.

“Zucchinis are going for about $80 per box at the markets at the moment. That’s over double [the price],” she said.

“Snow peas have probably hit about $40 a kilo. We’ve seen them more expensive in other places.”

It is strawberry harvesting time, but Bundaberg grower Michael Meiers said his farm had received 40 millimetres of rain in recent days.

“We’ve got a total loss of this week’s fruit basically,” he said.

“They just blister and absorb the water and just turn. Some of them down there are like slimy to touch.”

There is already a supply shortage in Queensland due to wet weather delaying the start of the harvest in May, and Mr Meiers expects this will worsen the situation.

“This rain has been so widespread … there’s not a strawberry farm that’s missed out,” he said.

He estimated his losses this season to “easily” reach $200,000 with his plants wiped out by rain and disease.

“We planted 120,000 plants this year … but now we’re down to like 40,000 out of that,” Mr Meiers said.

“We thought, ‘yeah, we’ve nailed it’. But in truth we nailed nails into a coffin, but we didn’t know that at the time.

“We will be able to recover some of these strawberries for jams and sauces, but there’s only a small percentage that’ll be good enough for that.”

‘Perfect storm’ for spoiled crops

Prolonged wet weather, followed by the recent cold snap and cloud cover, has created a “perfect storm” for spoiled crops further south.

David Freeman from Freeman’s Organic Farm in the Currumbin Valley, said he had already lost about 70 per cent of his custard apples and was now losing many of his avocado trees too.

“It’s damaged a lot of the vegetables like my leafy greens because they’re just so wet,” he said.

“But what I’m finding now is because of the saturation of the soil, lack of sunshine, and cold temperatures, we unfortunately have started to lose avocado trees through Phytophthora, a soil fungus.

“When you’ve had over 2,000mm of rain since the beginning of the year and only 42 days of sunshine it’s going to affect your crop.

“This will be the breaking point for some growers.”

He said the problems were industry wide.

“It’s not only me, it would be all the avocado growers in the hinterland, Tamborine, and (NSW) Northern Rivers,” he said.

In New South Wales, same thing! NSW Farmers Association President James Jackson says several farms have been inundated and their crops have been “wiped out” by the floods devastating NSW.

He said about $1 billion worth of produce comes out of the Sydney basin.

“There will be impacts on production out of those areas going forward for sure,” he told Sky News Australia. [abc.net.au]

America, This Is What Is Really Going on…The Government Is Driving You Into Poverty

July 09, 2022

Let me put this on the table: Inflation IS their climate change plan.

That old broken down demented grifter, Joe Biden, said the price of gas at the pump was the doing of GAS STATION OWNERS, and all they had to do was cut the price.

The Political Left—meaning Globalists—want to limit driving and traveling and use of oil across the board. This is the limit-CO2 agenda.

But that agenda was and is a cover for enforced poverty and lower energy use.

That agenda is the Globalists’ planned future for all of us.

A decrepit country struggling to maintain any sort of functioning economy at all.

Because that country is easier to take over.

It has nothing to do with global warming and CO2, which was a con from the get-go. A way of throttling industry.

Every tyrant down through history has longed for the day when he could say to the people, “If you don’t want to starve, let me take care of you. I will. You just have to obey all my orders.”

I don’t know what the oil company CEOs are doing these days. But if they grew a pair of balls, they would find a way to deliver oil at a reasonable price, even if they had to break the law to do it and force the federal government to send in troops to stop them. THEN the public would know what’s going on. THEN the people would speak. THEN we would have something.

The problem is, the oil execs have been sucking at the federal money teat for far too long. They’ve turned into collaborators.

They don’t know how to go public and speak straight from the shoulder to the people. They only know how to do corporate speak, blown-dry air-brushed bullshit.

They’ve had it too easy.

We got a preview of corporate courage when Trump stood aside and let that worm, little Anthony Fauci, take over the country during the fraudulent pandemic. The national lockdown was declared, and big-time corporate heads did NOTHING to rebel and keep their doors open for business. They just gathered around the federal bailout trough and snorted in cash.

They STILL don’t see what’s waiting for them up the road. The Globalist plan to enforce poverty means the customers bases of those corporations will shrink and keep shrinking.

More and more, the corporations will become giant bureaucracies of the federal government.

Not ONE of these CEOs will stand up and say, “America, this is what is REALLY going on…the government is driving you into poverty. We’re not going to sit here and take it. As of today, we’re all-out rebels, but we need millions of you to support us…”

Here’s The Harsh Reality: Today, The Biggest Risk For Global Catastrophe Isn’t What It Was 50 Years Ago…

This presentation PROOVES WITHOUT DOUBT that America is in for a major fight that will put you and your family in the firing line, literally… So make sure you watch this presentation while it’s still online…

Seattle could be engulfed by a TSUNAMI with waves up to 42ft within three minutes if a 7.5-magnitude earthquake hits the fault line off the coast, simulation shows

The last known earthquake on the Seattle Fault occurred about 1,100 years ago, but five 6.5 quakes have happened in the area over the last 3,500 years

Geologists with the Washington State Department of Natural Resources have created simulations showing the impact of a 7.5-magnitude earthquake

They found waves 42ft high would slam into downtown Seattle within three minutes of the earthquake

Around the Port of Tacoma, 30 miles south of downtown Seattle, the waters could spread inland for up to three miles

The Department of Natural Resources said that local residents need not panic, given the unlikeliness of the scenario, but should have an evacuation plan

Seattle could be engulfed by 42-foot waves within three minutes of a 7.5-magnitude earthquake, a new model has predicted.

Researchers from Washington State Department of Natural Resources found that the city, home to 740,000 people, would see much of its downtown under water.

The 42-foot waves would be swirling around the landmark Seattle Great Wheel, and would reach inland as far as Lumen Field stadium, home of the Seattle Seahawks, and T-Mobile Park, where the Seattle Mariners baseball team play.

Thirty miles south of downtown, the port of Tacoma could see waves reach as far as three miles inland.

Bruce Harrell, the mayor of Seattle, said the computerized models were valuable in planning for natural disasters.

'Our highest responsibility as an administration is to keep our residents safe, and studies like this are a critical tool in that effort to analyze the data, understand risks and forecasts, and best prepare for future emergencies,' he said.

'We will continue to ensure our Office of Emergency Management - and all our departments - are best equipped to respond to emergencies and natural disasters, while we also strengthen our infrastructure and build a resilient city now and for the future.'

The earthquake would cause the purple-shaded area to drop, and the red-shaded site to rise

The fault is pictured cutting across Bainbridge Island and jutting towards the city of Seattle, which is slightly to the right of the map

Seattle sits along the Seattle fault - a series of multiple shallow east–west thrust faults, which cross the Puget Sound Lowland and pass through the city.

The fault is less dynamic than the Cascadia subduction zone, which runs for 700 miles from Cape Mendocino, California, through Oregon and Washington, and terminating around Vancouver Island, Canada.

It is also less well-known, and less studied, than California's San Andreas fault - the longest in the world. It sits between the Pacific and North American plates, running more than 800 miles from the Salton Sea to Cape Mendocino. San Diego, Los Angeles and Big Sur are on the Pacific Plate, while San Francisco, Sacramento and the Sierra Nevada are on the North American Plate.

But it is capable of unleashing earthquakes with devastating force.

The last known earthquake on the Seattle fault occurred about 1,100 years ago.

However, geologic evidence shows five additional earthquakes of an estimated magnitude 6.5 occurred within the Seattle Fault zone during the last 3,500 years.

Seattle officials are telling people to think about their tsunami evacuation plans

Hilary Franz, commissioner of public lands, said people should not be fooled by the Seattle fault's comparative anonymity.

'Most often, when we think of tsunamis, we think of our outer coast and communities along the Pacific Ocean,' she said.

'But there's a long history of earthquakes on faults in the Puget Sound.

'While the history of earthquakes and tsunamis along the Seattle Fault is less frequent than the Cascadia subduction zone, the impacts could be massive.

'That's why it's critical these communities have the information they need to prepare and respond.'

Maximilian Dixon, the hazards and outreach program supervisor for the Washington Emergency Management Division, said local residents should formulate a plan.

'Although the chances of this happening in our lifetime is low, it's important for families to get prepared now,' he said.

'The ground shaking will be your warning that a tsunami may be on the way.

' Make sure you know where the closest high ground is and the quickest route to get there. Get signed up for tsunami and local alerts.'

EU will be held responsible for starving millions around the world

Via RT

A sanctioned Russian fertilizer mogul warns that sanctions targeting food and energy are ‘economic weapons of mass destruction’

Sanctions imposed on Russian and Belarusian fertilizer producers are akin to weapons of mass destruction in the scale of the damage they will likely cause over the next few years, the founder of chemical giant EuroChem has claimed.

“The EU sanctions mean suffering, famine and migration flows for many hundreds of millions of people,” Andrey Melnichenko said in an interview with the Swiss newspaper Die Weltwoche on Thursday.

“Sanctions targeting food and energy are economic weapons of mass destruction. They hit innocent people the worst. I have no doubt that billions of people will feel its effects,” he warned.

Suffering people will want to hold those responsible accountable, and the EU won’t be able to shift its culpability, the businessman added. It was not Russia or the US, but EU members like Lithuania and Estonia, and also European leaders Germany, France and Italy, which chose to disrupt the operation of his chemical empire with sanctions, he explained.

Russia becomes India’s top fertilizer supplier

EuroChem, a leading fertilizer producer, is headquartered in Switzerland, where Melnichenko also lives with his family. The EU and Switzerland targeted the company and its owner with sanctions aimed at hurting the Russian economy in retaliation for Moscow’s offensive in Ukraine.

Melnichenko argued he personally was unjustly punished for being a rich Russian, dismissing claims that he had any influence on the Russian government. He warned of the catastrophic consequences that the “carpet-bombing” of the Russian economy will cause over a few years.

He assessed that EuroChem products helped feed almost 274 million people. With its fertilizers not produced and sold due to sanctions, the effect would be far worse than what is happening now over the cut in grain exports from Ukraine, he said.

“The G7 countries, with their one billion citizens, see themselves as the world’s moral leaders. But they have overridden the interests of the other seven billion people,” he said.

Russia and its ally Belarus, another target for Western sanctions, account for 17% of global fertilizer supply, the tycoon said. Should that supply disappear from the market, the world “will lose food for almost 750 million people after just a few harvests,” he warned. Exports from those two countries already dropped by 30-40% amid the stand-off with the West, and it’s the most vulnerable people who are paying the price, Melnichenko added.

Dutch police fire ‘targeted shots’ at protesting farmers

“We don’t know whether people in the third world are already dying, or if they are ‘just’ starving and migrating away,” he said. With social tensions skyrocketing over hunger and fuel shortages, there will be a surge of violence, he predicted. “Perhaps jihad will raise its black flag again. These are not wild theories, but facts.”

Russia sent troops into Ukraine on February 24, citing Kiev’s failure to implement the Minsk agreements, designed to give the regions of Donetsk and Lugansk special status within the Ukrainian state. The protocols, brokered by Germany and France, were first signed in 2014. Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has since admitted that Kiev’s main goal was to use the ceasefire to buy time and “create powerful armed forces.”

In February 2022, the Kremlin recognized the Donbass republics as independent states and demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join any Western military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked.

Infertility: A Diabolical Agenda

Via Mercola

Story at-a-glance

The World Health Organization began working on an anti-fertility vaccine in the 1970s, in response to perceived overpopulation. For 20 years, the WHO’s Task Force on Vaccines for Fertility Regulation worked with population control in mind

In 1993, the WHO finally announced a birth-control vaccine had successfully been created to help with “family planning.” The anti-fertility vaccine uses hCG conjugated (chemically bonded) to tetanus toxoid, used in the tetanus vaccine. As a result, a woman will develop antibodies against both tetanus and hCG

HCG is the first signal that tells the woman’s body she’s pregnant. In response to this signal, her ovaries then produce progesterone, which maintains the pregnancy to term. By combining hCG with tetanus toxoid, it causes this crucial pregnancy hormone to be attacked and destroyed by the woman’s own immune system

In 1995, the Catholic Women’s League of the Philippines won a court order halting a UNICEF tetanus program that was using tetanus vaccine laced with hCG. Three million women between the ages of 12 and 45 had by that time already been vaccinated. Anti-hCG-laced vaccines had also been found in at least four other countries

Also in 1995, the Kenyan government launched a WHO tetanus campaign under the guise of eradicating neonatal tetanus. An investigation found the vaccine given to girls and women, aged 15 to 49, contained hCG, and evidence suggests this was an intentional population control agenda

“Infertility: A Diabolical Agenda,” is the fourth vaccine-related documentary by Dr. Andrew Wakefield. It tells the story of an intentional infertility vaccine program conducted on African women, without their knowledge or consent.

While it’s been brushed off as a loony conspiracy theory for years, there’s compelling evidence showing it did, in fact, happen, and there’s nothing to prevent it from happening again.

The Backstory

As explained in the film, the World Health Organization began working on an anti-fertility vaccine, led by Dr. G.P. Talwar in New Delhi, India, in the 1970s, “in response to perceived overpopulation.” For 20 years, the WHO’s Task Force on Vaccines for Fertility Regulation worked with population control in mind.

In 1993, the WHO finally announced a birth-control vaccine had successfully been created to help with “family planning.”1 The paper trail reveals that by 1976, WHO researchers had successfully conjugated, meaning combined or attached, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) onto tetanus toxoid, used in the tetanus vaccine. As a result, when given to a woman, she develops antibodies against both tetanus and hCG.

HCG is a hormone produced by cells surrounding the growing embryo. These hormone-producing cells protect and support embryonic growth and eventually form the placenta.

As explained in the film, hCG is the first signal that tells the woman’s body she’s pregnant. In response to this signal, her ovaries then produce a second hormone, progesterone, which maintains the pregnancy to term.

By combining hCG with tetanus toxoid, it causes this crucial pregnancy hormone to be attacked and destroyed by your immune system, as it’s now misperceived as an invading pathogen. Since hCG is destroyed, progesterone is never produced and, hence, the pregnancy cannot be maintained.

So, if you’re already pregnant when taking this witches’ brew, it will likely result in a spontaneous abortion, and if you’re not already pregnant, you won’t be able to get pregnant, as this crucial pregnancy hormone is under constant attack by your immune system. Repeated doses prolong these effects, effectively rendering you sterile.

The WHO Has Been in the Depopulation Business for Decades

As detailed in a Scientific Research paper published in 2017,2 “WHO publications show a long-range purpose to reduce population growth in unstable ‘less developed countries.’”

In other words, the WHO’s longstanding policy has been to support depopulation in third world countries, and they’ve studied depopulation strategies in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria, Mexico, Indonesia, Brazil, The Philippines, Thailand, Egypt, Turkey, Ethiopia and Colombia for decades.3

While creating an anti-fertility vaccine for those who really don’t want children is one thing, using deception to lure girls and young women into taking it is another entirely. As it turns out, the WHO is not above using deception and trickery to shut down fertility in populations they deem unworthy of reproduction.

The Great Deception

The central figures of the film are two Kenyan gynecologists, Drs. Wahome Ngare, and the late Stephen K. Karanja. Both state in the film that infertility is now the biggest gynecological problem in Africa. In recent years, there’s been a significant increase in women losing their pregnancies and couples who cannot conceive.

“I have seen the tears. They lose their identity. You die inside,” Antoninah Mutinda says. She knows, because she’s one of the African women whose fertility has been mysteriously impacted. After her third miscarriage, she was tested and found to have extremely high anti-hCG antibodies. She now suspects the tetanus vaccine she was given may be the culprit.

The anti-fertility vaccine was rolled out in the mid-‘90s, but despite support from the Kenyan leadership and “elite groups,” it was not popular among Kenyan women, who were concerned about the potential for abuse. They worried it might be disguised as a regular tetanus vaccine program.

Their concerns were valid because, as it turns out, this had already happened. In 1995, the Catholic Women’s League of the Philippines won a court order halting a UNICEF tetanus program that was using tetanus vaccine laced with hCG. Three million women between the ages of 12 and 45 had by that time already been vaccinated. Anti-hCG-laced vaccines had also been found in at least four other countries.

Undeterred by bad press, that same year, 1995, the Kenyan government launched a WHO tetanus campaign under the guise of eradicating neonatal tetanus. There were telltale signs that something was wrong, however, because it was already standard practice to vaccinate pregnant women against tetanus. Now, the WHO insisted women who weren’t pregnant needed the shot as well, in case they were to become pregnant.

Karanja learned of the deceptive anti-fertility campaigns in other countries during a medical conference in 1995, and became immediately suspicious of the tetanus campaign in his own country. Karanja convinced leaders of the Catholic church — one of the largest health care providers in Kenya — to test the tetanus vaccine being given, to make sure there was no foul play.

Without explanation, the WHO suddenly abandoned the campaign. Alas, 19 years later, in 2013, they were back. All girls and women, 15 to 49 years of age, were instructed to get vaccinated with a series of five injections, six months apart. This, it turns out, is the exact schedule required for the anti-fertility vaccine to produce sterility. Regular tetanus prevention requires only one injection every five to 10 years, and under no circumstance would you need five of them.

Vaccines Test Positive for Anti-hCG

The Catholic Church decided to test the vaccines, and collected three sample vials directly from clinics during the 2014 campaign. The samples were then sent to three independent laboratories for testing. As feared, they found hCG in them. Another six vials were then collected, and tested by six independent labs. This time, half were found to contain hCG.

At this point, the Catholic Church went public, urging girls and women to not comply with the vaccination campaign. In an effort to settle the dispute, an investigative committee was formed, consisting of three representatives selected by the Catholic bishops, and three government officials.

It was agreed that the nine vials already collected would be retested, along with 52 samples from a distributor who sells tetanus vaccine to the Kenyan government. This time, a more precise type of test, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), was chosen.

Dr. Nicholas Muraguri, director of medical services for the Kenyan government, contracted agriQ Quest to perform this testing. However, he urged them to test samples provided directly by him rather than the vials previously agreed upon. AgriQ Quest decided to analyze both batches.

The vials that tested positive for hCG using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), still tested positive using HPLC, but none of the samples provided by Muraguri tested positive.

A Decades’ Long Cover-Up

Shockingly, the government then demanded agriQ Quest “alter their report to indicate that they were safe to be administered.” When agriQ Quest refused, the government, the WHO and UNICEF responded by launching a public attack, accusing the Catholic Church of “peddling misinformation.”

And, since the only samples found to contain hCG were those provided by the Church, the government accused them of tampering with the vials in an effort to undermine confidence in the vaccine.

An added twist here is that the vials that tested positive had the same batch numbers as vials that tested negative. Only later did agriQ Quest discover that these negative vials had fake labels on them. They were not, in fact, from the same lots as those that tested positive. They weren’t even made by the same manufacturer.

AgriQ Quest also claims they can prove the positive samples were not tampered with, because they did not test positive for hCG in general. The test clearly shows the hCG was conjugated with tetanus toxoid, and this cannot occur by simply adding hCG to a vial of tetanus vaccine.

The conjugation — the chemical linking or bonding — of hCG to the tetanus toxoid can only occur during the manufacturing process. This is the smoking gun that proves the neonatal tetanus vaccine campaign was a cover for a population control campaign.

Muraguri also lied when he claimed the Kenyan government had only one supplier of tetanus vaccine. As it turns out, there were two. Biological E. Limited provided a regular tetanus vaccine, while the hCG-positive batches came from Serum Institute of India — the same country where most of the WHO’s anti-fertility research had been conducted.

To imagine there’s a system somewhere, that some people somewhere are behind my inability to carry pregnancy to term, that is a diabolical agenda! ~ Antoninah Mutinda

Both Ngare and Karanja paid a steep price for their vigilance. The medical board called them for disciplinary action. Karanja was issued a gag order, and since 2014 was not allowed to speak publicly about vaccines in Kenya. He broke that gag order for this film. April 29, 2021, Karanja died, allegedly from COVID infection.

A Truly Diabolical Agenda

Speaking for millions of women just like her, Mutinda, who has now struggled with infertility for years, says:

“To imagine there’s a system somewhere, that some people somewhere are behind my inability to carry pregnancy to term, that is a diabolical agenda!”

Before his untimely death, Karanja shared a message with the world, through the makers of this film:

“When they are through with Africa, they’re coming for you.”

Huge meteor fireballs exploded in loud booms over California, Argentina/Chile and New Zealand within hours on July 7 (videos)

Jul 8, 2022

A huge flash of light electricized the sky over the province of Mendoza, Argentina and over Santiago de Chile, the capital city of Chile, at around 5:30am, when a bright fireball, heading for the Andes, exploded violently.

Look at the amazing video compilation below!

The fireball sounded like thunder once it entered the atmosphere and many residents living in the surrounding area – Maipú, San Martín, Godoy Cruz, Tunuyán, Lavalle and Luján de Cuyo, in Mendoza – woke up in fear.

On the same day, but during the afternoon, many New Zealanders across the North Island have reported rumbling, crackling sounds, a fireball and a huge flash of light streaking across the sky.

Local media outlets and social media were flooded with reports and queries about the sight, with some witnesses describing rumbles, bangs, a crackling sound in their ears, hair standing on end, rattling windows or a streak or explosion of light, followed by a smoke trail.

Here’s another video of the sky event:

Another very slow moving and impressive meteor disintegrated over a large swath of Mexico, Arizona and California on July 7 at around 8:51 pm UTC. Amazing videos again…

Slow as if it was space junk… But I doubt it was…

alpha Capricornids meteor shower from July 7th to August 15th, 2022

The Alpha Capricornids are active from July 7 through August 15 with a “plateau-like” maximum centered on July 31st. This shower is not very strong and rarely produces in excess of five shower members per hour.

What is notable about this shower is the number of bright fireballs produced during its activity period. This shower is seen equally well on either side of the equator.

Shower details

Radiant: 20:26 -9.12° – ZHR: 5 – Velocity: 14 miles/sec (slow – 22km/sec) – Parent Object: 169P/NEAT. The alpha Capricornids will next peak on the Jul 30-31, 2022 night. On this night, the moon will be 5% full.

So keep your eyes to the sky, you may be lucky!

Russia’s Giant Nuclear Torpedo-Carrying Submarine Declared Operational

Belgorod is one of Russia’s most versatile and feared weapons, built with espionage and launching nuclear powered, nuclear-armed torpedoes in mind.

by Howard AltmanJul 8, 2022 2:23 PM

View howard altman's Articles

The shadowy K-329 Belgorod, the world’s longest submarine, which was designed to carry nuclear-powered, nuclear-tipped, long-range torpedoes, is now in service with the Russian Navy.

The Belgorod was turned over to that nation's sea service in a ceremony at the Sevmash shipyard in Severodvisnk Friday, according to the Sevmash website.

Touted by the Russians as a “research” vessel able to conduct “diverse scientific expeditions and rescue operations in the most remote areas of the World Ocean,” Belgorod is, in reality, a massive underwater weapons system that can deliver devastating strike capability and serve as a mothership for a host of undersea platforms. A highly modified Oscar II-class nuclear-powered guided-missile submarine, Belgorod is about 600 feet long, has two OK-650V nuclear power plants capable of providing 190 megawatts each, and has an undersea displacement of nearly 24,000 tons, according to GlobalSecurity.org.

The Catastrophic Consequences Of Biden’s Open Border Democrats And The Media Want You To Ignore

by Justin O. Smith July 9, 2022

There isn’t any American parent, who should be made to suffer the pain, anguish, and grief of burying one of their children, but there’s a perfect storm of criminal activity and evil found in the coordination of the China fentanyl crime syndicate, the Mexican drug cartels and the Biden regime’s criminal abandonment of their lawful charge on the southern border to defend America from such activity, that’s resulting in thousands of Americans being poisoned each year by fentanyl. Many so-called “safe drugs” are being laced with fentanyl by the Mexican drug cartels, who are doing China’s dirty work to kill Americans and subvert our society with this poison, and it’s costing us the lives of too many of our children, due to what is too often just a one-time mistake and a youthful indiscretion by a young person who fails to understand their own mortality properly and the fact that real evil exists.

Never before in the entirety of American history has it ever been more important than today to just “Say NO to Drugs”, as the old phrase from the Reagan era takes on new meaning and significance, as the best advice one can follow in a time when so many Percocet, oxycontin and Xanax pills are laced with deadly fentanyl and one-time experimentation may be one’s first and last.

On June 20th, 2022, in an online conversation about fentanyl, as it pertains to America’s drug problem, in part, I suggested that “poor parenting” was one segment of the problem, although I went on to state “that kids being kids just sometimes mess up no matter how well they’ve been taught”.

Tragically, Alexandra Capelouto, a twenty-year-old resident of Temecula, California, and a sophomore at Arizona State University was found dead of fentanyl poisoning in her bedroom by her parents, Matt and Christine Capelouto, on December 23rd, 2019, after she had taken half a pill she had purchased from someone on Snapchat that was supposed to be oxycodone. And with part of their hearts ripped from their chests and a void left in the family, Alexandra’s death moved both her parents to ensure that this would never happen again to anyone’s child, as Christine and Matt Capelouto and many others worked tirelessly in attempting to pass legislation, Alexandra’s Law, in California, that would authorize drug dealers to be charged with manslaughter or murder when their drugs resulted in the death of any person; unfortunately, Alexandra’s Law failed to pass in California’s state legislature on January 11th, 2022.

As Mr. Capelouto explained to me last month:

“[Poor parenting] is not always the case in why many turn to drugs. There are often underlying issues or backstories that are out of parents’ control. My wife and I raised four beautiful daughters. We never condoned drug use, we are a two parent family, [and] we are strong in our Christian faith as was Alex. All of my kids are doing great things to contribute to society. Alex is just doing it from Heaven. The real evil here is those responsible for making and distributing this poison. They bear the burden of the blame. We must cut off the supply of these deadly man-made chemicals which only serve a purpose to addict, fuel greed, and kill.”

But it’s more than just kids that are dying from fentanyl poisoning. The demographic ranges from the ages of 18 to 45.

Yes. There is so much more to America’s current malaise of drug abuse and addiction, whether we speak of the Hollywood film and music industries’ propaganda that glamorizes drug use or simply the immoral men and women who prey on the most innocent and vulnerable people in society to perpetuate this evil trade as a means for them to accrue great wealth, or those in authority — elected officials and police officers — who violate the public trust to profit from the drug trade. And inasmuch as this problem has reached epidemic proportions in our country, all knowledgeable, decent and caring Americans must do better to teach our country’s children to reject all illicit drug use and never accept anything for ingestion that they haven’t received from a trustworthy family member or doctor, to relieve whatever ails them, whether the ailment is mental or physical.

And Alexandra Capelouto’s death is one of many thousands of similar cases, becoming increasingly a common and horrible scene put before many other parents and loving family members, like Jaime Peurta who found his son, Daniel, dead in his bedroom from a fentanyl poisoning. These parents will never completely heal from so tragic an event and a person they loved meeting their end far too soon, especially when the life they were seeking was filled with so much potential.

Defying any true logic and all powers of reasoning, somehow judicial commissioner Mickey Verissimo, of the Tulare County Superior Court in California, recently deemed it just fine and proper to release two Washington men without bail, after they had been caught transporting 151,000 fentanyl pills worth $750,000 and two kilograms of cocaine worth approximately $60,000 through Tulare County on June 24th, 2022. A furor was raised after the Sheriff’s Department discovered they had been released on June 27th, and although Judge Nathan Leedy soon rescinded their release and issued arrest warrants for the two Washington men, who face a minimum of 14 years each in prison, they are now nowhere to be found, long gone and most likely not to be found for a long, long time, if ever.

Can anyone see just how deep this problem now runs through the very fabric of our society and our very institutions? Is it any wonder that we have so massive a drug problem in our country with such gross negligence or outright vile and evil complicity, whichever the case may be?

As noted by Fox News in 2021, by April of that year America had witnessed a 233 percent increase in seizures of fentanyl at our southern border, currently left wide-open by the Biden regime. In south Texas alone, fentanyl seizures increased by 1066% in Biden’s first year of holding the country and the southern border hostage to his demented, delusional policies.

The danger of the situation posed to our nation, on the whole, prompted Senator Tom Cotton to state:

“Fentanyl analogues kill thousands of Americans each year. To protect our communities from dealers pushing this poison, President Biden needs to keep them off the streets, not let them off the hook.”

Some 75,000 people died of fentanyl poisoning between April of 2021 and April of 2022. And between 2019 and the present, approximately 12 tons of fentanyl has been intercepted by the Border Patrol and Drug Enforcement Agents, which begs the question of just how much has actually made it into America through all the undefended and unprotected areas of the border now that Biden’s Open Border Policy and an invasion of Illegal Aliens has stretched the Border Patrol beyond its capabilities.

The solution to stopping the deadly fentanyl trade isn’t going to be found in the touchy-feely do-gooder asinine drug programs of many leftist-operated cities that actually facilitate drug use within their domain, through well-meaning, misguided measures.

America and Her people are largely to blame for the current situation for allowing it to snowball from the 1960s to the present, as America’s subculture advocated drug experimentation, escapism, and free love through the decades. The mainstream folks didn’t do near enough early enough during the first days of the drug culture to stem the demand and flow of illegal and new experimental, “recreational” drugs, probably due to the fact that too many policemen, government agents, politicians, and elected officials were getting rich from looking the other way, whenever shipments of these drugs appeared in their sphere of influence and jurisdiction.

On March 10th, 2022, Governor Greg Abbott of Texas essentially stated that he and others in the Texas state legislature would move to increase the penalties against those who deal deadly fentanyl on the streets. He and others like him are definitely on the right track and the right side of this issue.

Addressing fentanyl’s deadly nature, Governor Abbott stated:

“They’re taking a drug, a pill for the first time, and it’ll kill them. This is not a fentanyl overdose. This is poisoning by fentanyl, which we want to make a murder crime in the state of Texas.”

Chemical compounds necessary to create fentanyl are shipped to Mexican transnational criminal organizations weekly primarily through the Port of Manzanillo and primarily from China crime organizations, like the one operated by Jian Zhang, although India is being courted by these TCOs as a new source too. TCOs are also increasing their production of fentanyl pills and fentanyl-laced M-30 pills, which have regularly been tied to the Sinoloa Cartel and Cartel de Nueva Generacion, two cartels that control drug trafficking corridors from Mexico through California and Arizona. And from this point, as well as the corridor through Texas, drug cartels manage to supply America’s street gangs with this illegal and deadly cargo for distribution throughout the interior of America, having already shipped more than enough fentanyl to kill every person in America several times over.

Much in the same manner that Great Britain weakened China through the opium trade in the 1800s, China is now weakening America. The top leaders of the Chinese Communist Party are benefiting from turning a blind eye to their criminal fentanyl dealers who ship this poison to Mexico, because their inaction against these criminals is a de facto not-so-subtle attack against America that doesn’t risk any U.S. military response against China, as of yet. Pleas to Xi to stop the flow of illegal fentanyl have fallen on deaf ears, as this current situation tears at America’s moral underpinnings, values, and virtues and the foundation of American society.

It’s time to make China pay a real cost through trade sanctions, much as President Trump was doing to halt a number of Chinese aggressions against the U.S. and the West during his term. But Biden won’t do it. That’s pretty much a given if past actions by this regime are any indication, and this situation doesn’t get corrected until a strong president with some real backbone takes the Oval Office.

If this isn’t tantamount to a national security issue, pray tell just what is?

In the meantime, many on the Left cry that we must not be too hard on dealers, because they might be one of our family members one day, as they point out that many dealers started out as users; but there comes a time when the only thing that can work is a tough enough and a serious enough position to let these dealers-in-death understand it will ultimately cost their lives. It’s past time to make dealing such poison in America a capital offense that will get one hung or shot in public for all to see. America had better recalculate their reluctance to execute those among us who commit the most heinous of offenses against humanity and quit making excuses for vile criminals who are nothing more than murderers.

Better yet, dose these fentanyl dealers with their own poison in public and let the people see just what they were selling to America’s children. Let the people watch as they die foaming at the mouth with bulging eyes and their body jerking as they go into a seizure.

In case anyone has forgotten, the 1994 Crime Bill signed by President Clinton authorizes the execution of drug dealers and smugglers. Under Title VI of this bill, the federal death penalty was broadened and focused on approximately sixty heinous crimes, including acts of terrorism, the murder of law enforcement officers, and large-scale drug trafficking, the very sort of drug trafficking we are witnessing with alarming frequency today.

And for the cartel members, when one is caught transporting the slightest amount of fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, or heroin across our borders, they should be summarily executed on the spot and left to rot on the border with a sign placed on their dead carcass that explains this is the fate of drug traffickers in America from this day forward.

Do this and watch how quickly the illegal drug trade dies in America.

During her own family’s fight to get tougher penalties against fentanyl dealers, Christine Capelouto was astounded by the number of other children who were killed by this drug on their first use of it and she sadly noted out loud, as if thinking out loud, that these “are real people … peoples’ children”. Unsure at the time of whether Alexandra’s Law would pass or not, Christine further lamented:

“It won’t bring our daughter back, but we are adamant about saving lives. We can still laugh and joke, and things, but behind the smiles and behind the laughing, it’s an emptiness that there really are no words to describe.”

The self-inflicted genocide of late capitalism

Posted by Joshua Ross July 9, 2022 Posted in Uncategorized

At some point over the last 50 years, the bourgeoisie (in the U.S. and throughout the developed world) embarked on the first self-inflicted genocide in human history.

While the roots may go way back, the self-inflicted genocide became systematized and legalized with the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act.

By 2001 with the publication of Autism: a novel form of mercury poisoning by Bernard, Enayati, Redwood, Roger, and Binstock it was clear that vaccines were largely responsible for the explosion in autism cases.

Faced with this news, the mainstream went all in to cover up the genocide and accelerate the pace of the destruction.

Thomas Verstraeten at the CDC took a job from GlaxoSmithKline in Belgium rather than tell the truth about the genocide.

William Thompson took a promotion from CDC rather than call a press conference to stop the genocide.

Today I’d like to share with you a “3-second survival hack” you can use to skyrocket your chances of protecting your loved ones during ANY crisis.

This technique is so powerful it can give you almost superhuman powers during the ugliest nightmares imaginable….

From natural disasters like earthquakes or tornadoes…

To explosive situations like mass shootings or even nationwide martial law.

And It doesn’t matter if you’re out of shape…

Or have no equipment…

Or even if you’re disabled living in a wheelchair.

This technique has been tested and proven by elite soldiers and real world “miracle” survivors from around the world.

Julie Gerberding, Frank DeStefano, and Coleen Boyle at CDC aggressively covered up widespread harms to children like eager S.S. officers at Auschwitz.

Once everyone knew that methyl mercury was neurotoxic, Pharma with the blessing of FDA and CDC took most of the mercury out of vaccines and replaced it with even more aluminum — which leads to more autism cases but less severe symptoms. The genocide marched on.

A new generation of fixers including Tom Shimabukuro, John Su, and Matthew Oster at CDC as well as Nicola Klein at Kaiser Permanente dedicate their careers to hiding vaccine injury.

And now with rushed experimental Covid-19 shots, the genocide has accelerated and expanded to include adults throughout the developed world.

Responsible Parties

Harms are driven by the pharmaceutical industry. It’s gigantic — $1 trillion a year in revenue even before Covid-19. Toxic Covid-19 shots, useless treatments including Paxlovid and Remdesivir, and medicines to treat vaccine injury (including a sharp increase in myocarditis cases) will generate hundreds of billions of dollars of additional profits for Pharma. Pharmaceutical industry executives are avaricious, predatory, and they absolutely do not care who they hurt and kill. Many are also likely eugenicists who want to shrink the size of the global population.

Grifter billionaire psychopaths — including Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, and Alain Mérieux — gravitate towards vaccines because they see the opportunity to vastly increase their wealth while inflicting pain. Their billions of dollars buy them talent — the best management consultants, the best PR firms, and the best private Psy-Ops firms. They also purchased the global public health system, the political system, and the regulatory state. They clearly want to take over the world and enslave (via chronic illness and twice yearly injections of gene modifying substances) anyone who is not a billionaire.

But the genocide also relies on the participation of bourgeois civil society. As we have seen over the last two years, bougiecrats are gleeful about participating in their own self-destruction.

Yes, Pharma propaganda, marketing, and psy-ops are very good. Over the last forty years, the average person just did not know about the dangers of vaccines. But at this point, there is more than enough information in the public square about the dangers of these products (just look around for gawdsakes!) for the bourgeoisie to opt out of shots. And yet they drive themselves to their own demise.

Self-preservation is the most fundamental of all human instincts, more primal even than sex. Yet the most educated class in human history has lost its ability to feel the urgent necessity to protect one’s own life and protect their kids from those who are harming them.

All of our elite institutions failed over the last two years. The fact that Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and Columbia require staff and students to be vaccinated with useless toxic Covid-19 shots shows that almost no one at these institutions is capable of understanding basic statistics nor risk benefit analysis. Why do these institutions even exist at this point?

I think there is a common factor that explains the participation of the bourgeoisie in their own self-destruction and the failure of all of our institutions to respond appropriately to a virus that could have been handled with existing off the shelf medicines.

We are in the midst of a mass-poisoning-event.

As I explained above, the children born after 1986 are massively over-vaccinated. But wide-scale vaccine programs began in the 1960s with polio and measles so anyone who lived through those eras may be affected as well (albeit to a lesser degree). 2,021 nuclear weapons tests during the Cold War likely made matters worse.

A strong case can be made that the societal chaos we are experiencing — from a lack of fundamental self-preservation instincts to the inability to think critically — is evidence of society-wide neurological injury. People are not experiencing ennui, they are experiencing too much aluminum (and other toxic chemicals) in their brains. There is likely a dose response relationship as well — the more shots, the more crazy things become. And with globalization and concentrated wealth, neurologically injured psychopathic billionaires can inflict unprecedented harm around the world and turn global politics into their own live action version of Orwell’s 1984.

So the task before us is this:

1. We must opt out of the crazy and say no to their toxic drugs;

2. Detox from the toxic chemicals that already exist in our bodies; and

3. Build the better sane world out of the ashes of the collapse of mainstream society.

The United States of America, is on the verge of war…

Joe Biden Tells Congress to Pass Bill Legalizing Abortions Up to Birth Nationwide

National | Steven Ertelt | Jul 8, 2022 | 12:41PM | Washington, DC

During a nationally-televised speech on abortion today, Joe Biden called on Congress to pass a bill to legalize abortions up to birth and said there is a right to kill babies in abortions.

Exactly two weeks following the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Biden strongly criticized the Supreme Court decision.

“This was not a decision driven by the Constitution. Despite what the justices and majorities had said, this is not a decision that is driven by history,” Biden claimed even though states across the nation protected babies from abortions for decades before Roe v. Wade.

“We can not allow an out of control Supreme Court, working in conjunction with extremist elements of the Republican party, to take away freedoms…the choice we face as a nation is between the mainstream and the extreme,” he said.

Yet, a new Trafalgar Group poll shows 57.6% of Americans believe all abortions should be banned or banned when an unborn baby’s heartbeat can be detected. Only 11.6% of Americans saying they support abortions up to birth — the position of Joe Biden and the Democrat Party. And a new Harvard/Harris poll shows 75% of Americans essentially support the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade.

Biden complained the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was an “exercise in raw political power” but the decision took power away from the Supreme Court and restored it back to the states.

Biden also claimed, “The court has made clear it will not protect the rights of women” even as SCOTUS allowed states to protect the rights of unborn women before birth.

As he has previously, Biden called on Congress to pass legislation to overturn every pro-life law nationwide and allow abortions up to birth, saying he would sign it immediately.

“This is the fastest way to restore Roe,” he said.

Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life criticized the speech, saying Big Abortion is running Biden’s administration.

“The abortion industry is obviously running the executive branch of the federal government. That’s what happens when Democrats are in power. Yet there’s really not much the Administration can do,” Pavone. “The law is what it is as determined by the people and not by Joe Biden. And breaking the law is breaking the law. Period.”

Executive Director Janet Morana said Biden is “signaling to the medical profession and the abortion industry that they can go ahead and break the law. He’s saying ‘we got your back.’ It’s despicable.”

Biden will sign an order today directs the Department of Health and Human Services to take new actions to promote as many abortions as possible, especially via the dangerous abortion drug that not only kills babies but has killed and injured women as well.

Biden will also put together a team of lawyers to defend women charged with seeking aboritons even though no state abortion ban charges women — they only charge abortionists for killing babies. This team of pro bono attorneys working at taxpayer expense could also defend abortionists charged under state laws that ban aboritons.

Politico has more on what Biden’s pro-abortion order is expected to do:

The administration will also “consider” several additional actions to shore up privacy rights for patients using digital apps like period trackers and those who are now at risk of being reported to law enforcement by a medical provider. They will also “consider” strengthening protections for doctors performing abortions in medical emergencies by updating the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, and plan to stand up another interagency task force that includes the Attorney General.

Biden has already asked the administration to explore many of these steps, while others remain vague on their exact mechanisms. The White House stressed that none of them would fully restore abortion rights to the tens of millions of people who recently lost them, and argued “that the only way to secure a woman’s right to choose is for Congress to restore the protections of Roe as federal law.”

“Long gone is the Democratic Party of ‘safe, legal, and rare.’ President Biden has once again caved to the extreme abortion lobby, determined to put the full weight of the federal government behind promoting abortion,” said SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser. “Democrats will stop at nothing to promote their agenda of abortion on demand, up until the moment of birth, paid for by the taxpayers – including dangerous mail-order abortion drugs — even if it means gutting the long-standing filibuster, increasing the size of the Supreme Court, or putting abortionists in tents in national parks. We are committed to exposing Democrats’ abortion extremism to voters across key battleground states so this extreme agenda can be soundly rejected at the ballot box this November.”

The order comes in response to abortion activists who say Biden hasn’t done enough to promote killing babies since the Dobbs decision. They want him to set up abortion tents on federal lands, offer taxpayer funded travel vouchers and other financial support for people getting abortions in other states, and to drop all limits on the abortion pill that protect women’s health and safety and to make ti easier to buy abortion drugs from other countries.

Leading pro-life doctors are warning that Joe Biden’s plan to expand at-home abortions in response to Roe v. Wade being overturned will endanger women’s lives.

The Washington Times reports doctors with the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG) said abortion drugs are dangerous for mothers as well as their unborn babies especially when taken without medical supervision, which the Biden administration now allows.

“This is dangerous,” said Dr. Christina Francis, an Indiana OB-GYN and CEO-elect of the medical association. “This at-home use of these medications is dangerous for many reasons. We need to protect our women patients from this push for DIY medication abortions.”

Attorney General Merrick Garland also mentioned the abortion drug in his response to the Supreme Court decision, telling states that they “may not ban mifepristone based on disagreement with the FDA’s expert judgment about its safety and efficacy.”

Mifepristone is used to abort unborn babies up to 10 weeks of pregnancy. It blocks the hormone progesterone and basically starves the baby to death. For decades, the FDA required that abortionists provide the drug in-person after a medical examination because of its high risks.

In December, however, the Biden administration got rid of the in-person requirement and began allowing the drug to be sold through the mail. Now, women – or their abusers – can buy the abortion drug online without ever seeing or even talking to a doctor.

Many doctors and researchers have been warning about the dangers of the abortion drug for years, and the Biden administration’s December action raised further alarm.

An in-person medical examination to screen for an ectopic pregnancy and to determine the gestational age of the unborn baby is vitally important for the mother’s health, said Dr. Donna Harrison, current CEO of AAPLOG, according to the Washington Times.

Harrison said ectopic pregnancies are life-threatening and they occur in approximately one in 50 pregnancies.

“By not having an ultrasound, by allowing home [abortion] use, you have 1 out of 50 women who are at risk of dying because the symptoms of a rupturing ectopic pregnancy are exactly the same symptoms as a Mifeprex abortion: pain and bleeding,” she said. Mifeprex is a brand name for mifepristone.

Harrison said some women have bled to death because of an undetected ectopic pregnancy that ruptured after taking abortion drugs.

Several recent studies have found that the risks of the abortion drug are much more common than what abortion activists often claim, with as many as one in 17 women requiring hospital treatment. A recent study by the Charlotte Lozier Institute found that the rate of abortion-related emergency room visits by women taking the abortion drug increased more than 500 percent between 2002 and 2015.

“That figure was before the FDA relaxed its rules, and with all of these restrictions in place, with women having to see a physician in person,” Francis said, according to the report. “So we know that these complications are only going to increase when you remove the physician from that process. So we need to call for better health care for our patients. Women deserve better than what they’re receiving from the abortion industry. They deserve accurate information.”

Abortion drugs are big business. Mifepristone now is used for more than half of all abortions in the United States, according to a new report from the Guttmacher Institute. In 2020, the drug was responsible for 54 percent of all unborn babies’ abortion deaths, up from 39 percent in 2017, the pro-abortion research group found.

The FDA has linked the abortion drug to at least 26 women’s deaths and 4,000 serious complications between 2000 and 2018. However, under President Barack Obama, the FDA stopped requiring that non-fatal complications from mifepristone be reported. So the numbers almost certainly are much higher.

LifeNews recently published an article highlighting eight facts that every woman should know about the abortion drug.

Two Israel Police officers injured in stabbing attack in Arab city

The man reportedly stabbed his partner before attacking police officers responding to reports of the crime.

By JERUSALEM POST STAFF Published: JULY 7, 2022 16:09 Updated: JULY 7, 2022 20:16

Two Israel Police officers were injured on Thursday in a stabbing attack in the Arab city of Baka al-Gharbiya, central Israel.

The attacker, a local resident, was confronted by police forces after they received reports of him stabbing his partner. An Israel Police officer was stabbed during attempts to arrest the suspect and was lightly injured.

Another officer was moderately injured during the altercation, police said.

The assailant's partner, a 26-year-old Kalansuwa resident, was moderately injured and rushed to Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in Hadera along with the wounded police officers.

The suspect was eventually arrested by Israel Police and was taken to the local police station to be investigated. He was reportedly known to police prior to the incident.

"This is a prime example of the dangers faced by police officers when responding to reports of violence," Public Security Minister Omer Bar Lev said later on Thursday, saying the danger is "especially prevalent" in cases of domestic abuse and violence.

How the Book of Jude Addresses the Last Days

by Jack Wellman · Print · Email

The Book of Jude seems as if it’s almost written for today and it really is, because these are the last days leading up to the return of Jesus Christ.

The Last Days

The Book of Jude seems as if it’s almost written for today, and it really is, because these are the last days leading up to the return of Jesus Christ. To begin with, the “last days” have been the “last days” for the last 2,000 years. Since Jesus’ ascension, we have always been living in the last days. The phrase “last days” or “end times” is very prominent in the New Testament (Acts 2:17; 2 Tim 3:1; Heb 1:2; James 5:3; 2 Pet 3:3), even though two centuries later, Jesus has still not came back. Why? We are now and have been living in the last days since Jesus’ resurrection and ascension, meaning Jesus could come back at any moment. That is what all ages of the church have believed and had expectations of. The true church has always had an eager expectation of the soon return of Christ. The trouble they saw around them prompted them to believe it was the last days. And that’s as it should be. We should all be living as if Jesus were coming back this very minute, because, He could! The Book of Jude is not very long (only one chapter), but its twenty-five verses have much to say about the last days, and our day today. This book is strikingly similar to the way it was in Jude’s day too.

Jude

Jude is the half-brother of Jesus Christ, having the same mother but not the same father, and the range of the date of this book is incredibly wide, with conservative scholars placing it between the years 70 to 90 AD. The reason I think the date is much later is because Jude refers to the Apostle’s predictions for the last days (Jude 1:18) as having come true (Jude 1:17), but clearly, Jude’s epistle is just as relevant today as in the day it was written. Jude begins by telling us who he is, that being “a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James” (Jude 1:1), so Jude is a servant of Christ more than His half-brother. Jesus is not Jude’s brother anymore. He is his Lord and Savior. The Greek word for servant is actually slave (“doulos”), and there is a huge difference between being a slave and being a servant of Christ. A servant can quit their job, get fired, do a poor job, and go home after work, but a slave, particularly one of Christ’s, is owned by the Master, but the Master is good and He is merciful, and like a good master, He provides for all of our needs. Incidentally, in Jude’s day, slaves were more like family members than what we think of as slaves. They were sometimes adopted into the family. That was never so with a servant.

The Original Gospel

Best Place To Start Reading the Bible Jude originally wanted to write this letter (book) about one thing and that was their salvation, but something came up and he had to change the content. This book is very different from the rest of the New Testament books because it refers to a later time period than most of the other books do. And you can read a sense of urgency in Jude’s words, as he says he “was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 1:3). Contending for something means fighting for something, and in this case, it was fighting for the original message (the gospel) that originally came from Jesus Christ (Mark 1:15). What we are fighting for is the preservation of the original faith that was once “delivered to the saints.” This means, it was “once and for all,” and that’s it.

The Canon is Closed

No more revelation is necessary today for God has already (past tense) spoken (Heb 1:1-2), no matter what people say. What God has said in His Word stands and it is settled in heaven. Please notice that this statement is in the past tense: “once for all delivered.” It’s enough for “all” and it’s sufficient for all. Nothing more is needed for us. I’ve heard it said, “If it’s new, it’s not from God; and if it’s from God, it’s not new,” so “new revelations” trouble me because we cannot ever be certain of the source. Of Scripture, we can always be sure! Just like what is happening today in the modern church, “certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ” (Jude 1:4).

Satan’s Churches

What Does The Bible Say About Same Sex Marriage

You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination“ (Lev 18:22).

There have been and still are satanic churches who have satanic ministers preaching another gospel (2 Cor 11:14-15), and today, they are even allowing homosexual marriage and even condoning it. They argue, “Since they love one another, what is wrong with that,” but remember, Eve loved the forbidden fruit. Bank robbers love money, so love cannot justify the means. Many swallow these lies because of those who brought them in came in under the cover of darkness and have “crept in unnoticed.” They are subtle and small changes to doctrines at first, but then they can grow, but if they are wrong on one point, why believe them on the other doctrines. If they had been noticed, someone would have said something, but that’s why Jude believes we must contend for the faith originally delivered by Christ and expounded by the Apostles.

The enemy is very clever, yearly adding elements to the gospel of Jesus Christ that were not in the original. They add baptism, works, the sacraments, tithing, Sabbath observance, or something else they must “do.” It is often, “Jesus + something.” That means it is not actually the gospel originally delivered (Gal 1:7-9). It can’t be added too because God has already spoken through His Apostles and Prophets, but most clearly through the Son of God, Jesus Christ (Heb 1:1-2), and His own hear Him speak clearly and plainly in the Gospels (John 10:27-28).

Satan’s Ministers

Since the date of this book’s writing may have come after most of the Apostles had died, it makes sense that the prophecies the Apostles gave had been fulfilled. Jude writes about “the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Jude 1:17), and what “They said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions” (Jude 1:18). We know it’s not those within the Body of Christ that Jude writes about, but “these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit” (Jude 1:20). It is those outside the church of Jesus who infiltrate and try to weaken the gospel of repentance and faith (Mark 1:15). Looking religious means nothing to God because it’s not about religion; it’s about a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. We are reminded that Satan’s own ministers can look like angels of light (2 Cor 11:4-5), but they only appear that way, because they bring a message of darkness.

… even the Devil can appear to be a preacher of righteousness …

Satan’s Gospel

A gospel look-alike that neglects matters of sin, repentance, confession, sanctification, living in holiness, coming out of this world, being Jesus’ disciple, and doing what Jesus’ disciples would naturally do (Matt 25:35-36). If the Apostles were here on earth today, they would be appalled at some of the “buffet-style” religions that claim to be Christian. There is only one way (John 6:44; Acts 4:12) and not a little of this and a little of that. Without the whole gospel of repentance and faith (Mark 1:14-15), you have half the truth, and a half-truth is a whole lie…straight from hell.

Conclusion

We can be students of prophecy but overlook Jesus. I believe it is still best to focus on Christ and to be ready for His appearing at any moment and to live that way. Is Jesus’ return soon? Are we living in the last days? I don’t know to the first one, but yes to the “last day.” I know a better question: “Have you put your trust in Christ? Are you ready for His appearing because He could come at any moment?” If not, there are other prophecies that will come true someday for you (Dan 12:2-3; Rev 1:7, 20:12-25), so it’s not too late to repent of your sins and place your trust in the Savior. Do that today, while it’s still called “today” (2 Cor 6:2). Eternity is a very long time to be wrong.

Report: Biden's Approval Rating Falls Below Trump's Worst-Ever Rating

By Nicole Wells | Friday, 08 July 2022 05:26 PM EDT

While recent polls show that President Joe Biden's job approval rating just keeps falling, the latest Rasmussen Reports daily tracking poll saw Biden's approval rating fall below former President Donald Trump's worst-ever rating.

According to the Washington Examiner, Trump's approval rating never dipped below 38% in four years of Rasmussen polls, while Biden's approval rating was measured at 37% by the polling company on Friday.

The White House has tried to fix Biden's steady slide in the polls with more travel and speeches and staffing changes to no avail, and now some Democrats looking to keep their jobs in November are distancing themselves from him as well, the news outlet reports.

A record-low of Democrats — 65% — currently approve of the president, which is down from the low 70% range.

Voters' concerns about the commander-in-chief range from the state of the economy to soaring inflation to energy prices and seem likely to influence this year's midterm congressional elections.

On Friday, Rasmussen released a related survey that shows that the GOP has an 8-point lead on the generic congressional ballot. Republicans have led the generic ballot all year, according to the polling company.

In an update on consumer spending, Rasmussen said that economic confidence has fallen to its lowest level since 2014.

A mere 19% rate the economy as good to excellent, while 69% expect "a worsening economy," which is seven points higher than in June, according to Rasmussen's analysis. The bleak consumer outlook could potentially widen the gap between Republicans and Democrats on the congressional ballot.

If the election were held today, 48% say they would vote for a Republican and 40% say they would vote for a Democrat — a gap that spread 3 points in one week, according to Rasmussen's analysis.

Columnist Miranda Devine said that in July 2018, Democrats had a six-point advantage, 46% to 40%, on the generic congressional ballot.

"As the November 2018 midterms neared, the margin was a statistical dead heat — Republicans 46%, Democrats 45% — in the final poll before Democrats won a slim House majority while Republicans gained Senate seats to maintain control of that chamber," Devine wrote.

Japan's Shinzo Abe assassination: Who is suspect Tetsuya Yamagami?

Suspect in former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's assassination had military background, reports say

By Greg Norman | Fox News

The 41-year-old suspect in the assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe reportedly has told police Friday that he was dissatisfied with the ex-leader and wanted to kill him, but not over his political beliefs.

Tetsuya Yamagami, who hails from Nara – where the 67-year-old Abe was gunned down while making a speech – is currently facing an attempted murder charge. But local police are expected to upgrade the charge to murder, according to Japanese broadcaster NHK.

"Former Prime Minister Abe was giving a speech normally, but a man came from behind. The first shot heard only a very loud sound and the person did not fall down. However, the moment the second shot was shot, former Prime Minister Abe collapsed," a witness told NHK. "The [suspect] didn't seem to run away, he stayed there and the gun was there."

The killing has sent shockwaves around the world and throughout Japan, a country with notoriously strict gun ownership laws.

Police said Yamagami was responding calmly to questions and had admitted to attacking Abe, telling investigators he had plotted to kill him because he believed rumors about the former leader's connection to a certain organization that police did not identify.

Ministry of Defense officials that spoke to NHK said the gun used in Abe’s assassination appears to have been homemade and the suspect, Yamagami, spent three years serving in the country’s Maritime Self-Defense Force between 2002 and 2005.

SHINZO ABE DEAD: JAPAN'S LONGEST-SERVING PRIME MINISTER WAS CONSERVATIVE KINGMAKER WHO STRENGTHENED US TIES

"The weapon used by Abe's assailant made a noise that could be compared to an explosion, and white smoke rose into the air after it was discharged. A gunpowder-like smell could be detected afterward," read a report Friday by the Kyodo News, which added that one of their journalists on-scene said the weapon appeared to have been held together with duct tape.

Abe was struck about two minutes and 20 seconds into his speech, according to NHK.

The broadcaster says video captured prior to the shooting purportedly shows Yamagami scanning his surroundings while standing near a footpath behind Abe.

He then takes something out of a bag he was carrying and walks slowly toward Abe, coming several yards away from him, before raising the gun and opening fire, the station added.

Following his arrest, police found possible explosives at Yamagami’s apartment in Nara, NHK also reported.

Police also they confiscated similar weapons and his personal computer.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

U.S. to send another $400 million in military aid to Ukraine; Russia hits out at West at G-20

Sam Meredith

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the retaking of Snake Island, a strategically important island in the Black Sea, shows that Kyiv "cannot be broken" by Russia's onslaught.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov criticized ministers at the G-20 meeting in Bali for failing to find common ground on global economic issues. Lavrov accused his Western colleagues of "rabid Russophobia" over the Kremlin's onslaught in Ukraine.

G-20 host Indonesia called on ministers to find a way of helping to bring an end to Russia's invasion.

Meanwhile, the United States is set to announce another $400 million in military aid as it tries to bolster Kyiv's efforts to hold off the Russian onslaught.

Communities in both the south and the east of Ukraine, where particularly intense fighting has cut off of supply lines, are facing rising food insecurity, warned Tomson Phiri from the UN World Food Program.

Since Russia invaded in late February, more than 300 bridges have been destroyed by the war, according to estimates from the Ukrainian government. Additionally, more than 15,500 miles of roads in Ukraine have also been damaged or destroyed.

"One in three families in Ukraine is food insecure," Phiri said in a report, adding that WFP food or cash distributions had reached 2.6 million people from the start of the war through June.

What's more, for months, Russian warships have implemented a blockade of Ukraine's ports in the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea.

The Biden administration is set to announce a security assistance package worth $400 million for Ukraine.

A senior Defense official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to share new details of the aid package, said the latest security assistance will be a mixture of systems already deployed to the fight and new capabilities.

The official said that the latest tranche of weapons will include additional High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or HIMARS, more ammunition for HIMARS, 1,000 rounds of ammunition for howitzers and three tactical vehicles to tow equipment.

The HIMARS, manufactured by defense giant Lockheed Martin, is designed to shoot a variety of missiles from a mobile 5-ton truck. The official said that U.S. troops will continue to train Ukrainian forces on how to use the platform at a location outside the country.

Ukrainian official warns of ‘catastrophe’ in captured city

A Ukrainian regional official warned of deteriorating living conditions in a city captured by Russian forces two weeks ago, saying Sievierodonetsk is without water, power or a working sewage system while the bodies of the dead decompose in hot apartment buildings.

Gov. Serhiy Haidai said the Russians were unleashing indiscriminate artillery barrages as they try to secure their gains in eastern Ukraine's Luhansk province. Moscow this week claimed full control of Luhansk, but the governor and other Ukrainian officials said their troops retained a small part of the province.

"Luhansk hasn't been fully captured even though the Russians have engaged all their arsenal to achieve that goal," Haidai told The Associated Press. "Fierce battles are going on in several villages on the region's border. The Russians are relying on tanks and artillery to advance, leaving scorched earth."

Russia's forces "strike every building that they think could be a fortified position," he said. "They aren't stopped by the fact that civilians are left there, and they die in their homes and courtyards. They keep firing."

Occupied Sievierodonetsk, meanwhile, "is on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe," the governor wrote on social media. "The Russians have completely destroyed all the critical infrastructure, and they are unable to repair anything."

— Associated Press

The World Health Organization issued an urgent appeal for access to sick and injured people caught up in the war in Ukraine.

The UN health agency said hundreds of landmine victims, premature babies, pregnant women, elderly people and patients with terminal illnesses have been left behind.

"The people who have not been able to receive early diagnosis and treatment for cancer now have much more advanced tumors and more critical illness," Dr. Dorit Nitzan, WHO Ukraine crisis incident manager, told reporters at the United Nations.

"People who have not been able to receive medications for hypertension and now have failing hearts or have suffered strokes. People with diabetes who could not get treatment and whose disease is now severe," she added.

Senior UN officials have long called for humanitarian corridors to be established in order to enable the safe delivery of assistance to vulnerable populations in Ukraine.

The leaders of Greece and Bulgaria inaugurated a new pipeline that will supply natural gas from Azerbaijan to Bulgaria, whose vital supply of Russian gas was cut off in April amid the fallout over Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis stressed the importance of the new link as an alternative supply line for Bulgaria, as neighboring Greece jockeys to become a regional energy transport hub.

"This isn't just a gas pipeline, but a crucial south-north energy bridge," Mitsotakis said during a ceremony in northeastern Greece.

He added that Europe needs to coordinate its response to "Moscow's conscious choice to turn natural resources into a lever of political pressure, into a raw blackmail."

"It is something our Bulgarian neighbors already know very well," Mitsotakis said.

— Associated Press

A Ukrainian official said that Russian forces set fire to grain fields in the southeastern Zaporizhzhia region of the country.

"Remember this picture every time Russians say they care about global food security," wrote Oleg Nikolenko, spokesperson for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"Millions of people across the world will face hunger - because Russia launched a brutal war against Ukraine," he added.

The Kremlin has previously denied that Russian troops are weaponizing food supply in Ukraine.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen to advocate for price cap on Russian oil during Asia trip

Janet Yellen plans to advocate for a price cap on Russian oil during her first trip to the Indo-Pacific as U.S. Treasury secretary, in what amounts to an attempt to curb revenues flowing to the Kremlin as it wages war on Ukraine.

The Treasury Department said Yellen's trip to Japan, Indonesia and South Korea will focus on "opportunities to further strengthen the historic sanctions" imposed on Russia. It added that the goal of a potential price cap on Russian oil would be to "limit revenue for Russia's military while at the same time dampening the impact of the war on gas and energy prices in America and globally."

Russia is one of the world's largest exporters of petroleum products, and its war on its neighbor has constrained supply due to disrupted trade routes and sanctions imposed by the U.S. and NATO allies. President Joe Biden and other world leaders are trying to balance support for Ukraine with domestic anger and budget angst caused by food and energy inflation.

Some 67% of Americans said gas prices were causing them financial hardship, according to a Gallup poll conducted in June, when U.S. gas prices hit all-time highs. The last time two-thirds of Americans indicated that gas prices were causing financial hardship was 2011.

The national average price of a gallon of regular gasoline fell to $4.721 on Friday, down from a record $5.016 notched on June 14.

Russian ambassador reportedly says troops unlikely to leave southern Ukraine

Russian ambassador to London, Andrei Kelin, says the Kremlin's forces will defeat Ukrainian forces in the eastern Donbas region and Moscow is unlikely to withdraw from a large swathe of land across Ukraine's southern coast, according to Reuters.

"We are going to liberate all of the Donbas," Kelin told Reuters in an interview.

"Of course it is difficult to predict the withdrawal of our forces from the southern part of Ukraine because we have already experience that after withdrawal, provocations start and all the people are being shot and all that."

Russia's Lavrov accuses the West of 'rabid Russophobia' at G-20 meeting

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused Western officials at the G-20 ministers' meeting in Bali, Indonesia, of criticizing Moscow rather than focusing on how to tackle global economic issues.

G-20 host Indonesia had pushed for ministers to find a way to help bring an end to Russia's onslaught in Ukraine.

Speaking as he arrived at the conference, Lavrov said: "Despite all this and the useful discussions that should allow us to ask our Western colleagues some very blunt questions, they have no answers to these questions."

He added, "There is only rabid Russophobia, which they turn to instead of finding much-needed common ground on key issues on the global economy and finances, for which the G-20 was created."

With Russia's military action in Ukraine in its fifth month, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Kyiv that it should quickly accept Moscow's terms or brace for the worst, adding ominously that Russia has barely started its action.

Speaking at a meeting with leaders of the Kremlin-controlled parliament, Putin accused Western allies of fueling the hostilities, charging that "the West wants to fight us until the last Ukrainian."

"It's a tragedy for the Ukrainian people, but it looks like it's heading in that direction," he added.

"Everybody should know that largely speaking, we haven't even yet started anything in earnest," Putin said in a menacing note.

He declared that Russia remains ready to sit down for talks to end the fighting, adding that "those who refuse to do so should know that the longer it lasts the more difficult it will be for them to make a deal with us."

War could leave Ukraine's environment with a 'toxic legacy for generations to come,' UN warns

United Nations investigators said the war in Ukraine "could leave the country and region with a toxic legacy for generations to come," according to preliminary monitoring reports from the region.

The United Nations Environment Program, or UNEP, found thousands of possible incidents of air, water and land pollution and the degradation of ecosystems, including risks to neighboring countries.

"The mapping and initial screening of environmental hazards only serves to confirm that war is quite literally toxic," wrote UNEP Executive Director Inger Andersen in the report.

"The first priority is for this senseless destruction to end now. The environment is about people: it's about livelihoods, public health, clean air and water, and basic food systems. It's about a safe future for Ukrainians and their neighbors, and further damage must not be done," she added.

Andersen said that Ukraine will also require international support to remediate the damage across the country and mitigate risks to the wider region.

Finland to boost security at Russia border with amended law

Finland's army soldiers attend the multinational NATO exercise Saber Strike in Adazi, Latvia, June 11, 2015.

Finland's Parliament passed amended legislation on border security that allows for the closure of crossing points with Russia amid fears that Moscow could choose to send large numbers of migrants to the frontier.

The move by lawmakers came just two days after NATO's 30 members signed formal accession protocols for Finland and Sweden to join the alliance — an outcome that has angered Russia. The two Nordic nations' membership bids were approved at a NATO summit at the end of June in Madrid.

The amendments approved by Finnish lawmakers will give the center-left government led by Prime Minister Sanna Marin wider powers to restrict border traffic in exceptional situations particularly on the 1,340-kilometer (830-mile) border with Russia, the longest of any European Union member.

The changes would also allow Finland, a nation of 5.5 million, to build barriers and fences along the border with Russia if needed. Finnish President Sauli Niinisto is due to sign the amendments into law on Friday.

REVEALED: Joe Biden sold nearly ONE MILLION oil barrels from emergency reserves to state-owned Chinese gas giant that Hunter's private equity firm had $1.7B stake in

Joe Biden in April authorized the release of a million barrels of oil a day from the Strategic Petroleum Reserves

He said it 'will help address supply disruptions caused by Putin's further invasion of Ukraine and the Price Hike that Americans are facing at the pump'

Last week it emerged that the Biden administration had in fact sent five million barrels abroad

On Thursday it emerged that 950,000 barrels were being sold to the Chinese state-owned China Petrochemical Corporation, known as Sinopec

On Friday, it further emerged that Hunter Biden's private equity firm bought a $1.7 billion stake in Sinopec seven years ago

Hunter's lawyers in November said that he no longer holds a stake in the investment company

By Harriet Alexander For Dailymail.com

Published: 01:47 EDT, 9 July 2022 | Updated: 03:41 EDT, 9 July 2022

Lawyers for 52-year-old Hunter in November told The New York Times that he 'no longer holds any interest, directly or indirectly' in BHR.

Yet The Washington Examiner reported that as recently as March he was listed as part-owner in China's National Credit Information Publicity System.

It was possible the records had not been updated.

The revelation will add to growing questions about the White House's actions around the SPR.

Joe Biden authorized the release of a million barrels a day from April onwards.

But the release has done little to combat soaring gas prices, with the national average sitting at $4.72 as of Friday - still far above the $2.28-a-gallon average from just before he took office.

Biden's announcement about releasing the oil barrels was made in April, and saw him say: 'These releases will put more than one million barrels per day on the market over the next six months, and will help address supply disruptions caused by Putin's further invasion of Ukraine and the Price Hike that Americans are facing at the pump.'

But it has had little effect, with a closer look at the press release revealing that the oil released from the strategic reserve was always destined for the highest bidder - even if they were overseas.

That is due to strict international rules dictating the sale and supply of oil - although a regular American who listened to Biden's proclamation in passing would likely have believed that the increase in supply would have been destined for domestic refineries, to lower US prices.

'Crude and fuel prices would likely be higher if (the SPR releases) hadn't happened, but at the same time, it isn't really having the effect that was assumed,' said Matt Smith, lead oil analyst at Kpler.

Government officials continue to defend Biden, and claim domestic gas prices would be even higher were it not for his release.

Biden declared that he had authorized the largest-ever release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR), to put one million additional barrels on the market per day on average, every day, for the six months from April.

'With these announcements, President Biden is demonstrating both his unwavering commitment to doing everything in his power to ease the pain American families are facing today at the pump as a result of Putin's Price Hike, while continuing to take strong action – right now and without delay – to achieve lasting American energy independence,' the White House said in a statement

Biden has repeatedly used the phrase 'Putin's Price Hike' in a bid to deflect the blame for soaring inflation, despite strategists warning that it is not connecting with voters.

They've said he needs to show more empathy for the economic pain Americans are facing, rather than just trying to deflect.

U.S. crude futures are above $105 per barrel and gasoline and diesel prices above $5 a gallon in one-fifth of the nation.

Biden on Saturday renewed a call for gasoline suppliers to cut their prices, drawing criticism from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

Bezos said Biden's words displayed an apparent ignorance of America's free-market economy, where demand and supply always dictates the prices of goods.

But while the flow is draining the SPR, which last month fell to the lowest level since 1986, a significant percentage is flowing abroad.

The fourth-largest U.S. oil refiner, Phillips 66, shipped about 470,000 barrels of sour crude from the Big Hill SPR storage site in Texas to Trieste, Italy, according to U.S. Customs data obtained by Reuters.

Trieste is home to a pipeline that sends oil to refineries in central Europe.

Atlantic Trading & Marketing (ATMI), an arm of French oil major TotalEnergies, exported two cargoes of 560,000 barrels each, the data showed.

Phillips 66 has not responded to DailyMail.com's request for comment. ATMI did not respond to a request for comment.

Cargoes of SPR crude were also headed to the Netherlands and to a Reliance refinery in India, an industry source said.

At least one cargo of crude from the West Hackberry SPR site in Louisiana was set to be exported in July, a shipping source added.

U.S. officials have defended their actions, saying that oil prices could be higher if the SPR had not been tapped.

The latest exports follow three vessels that carried SPR crude to Europe in April, helping replace Russian crude supplies.

U.S. crude inventories are the lowest since 2004 as refineries run near peak levels.

Refineries in the U.S. Gulf coast were at 97.9 percent utilization, the most in three and a half years.

On Monday, U.S. energy producers hit back at Biden after the president tweeted that 'companies running gas stations' should simply 'bring down the price you are charging at the pump'.

Biden tweeted from his official White House handle on Saturday: 'My message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple: this is a time of war and global peril.

'Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you're paying for the product. And do it now.'

The U.S. Oil & Gas Association replied: 'Working on it Mr. President.

'In the meantime - have a Happy 4th and please make sure the WH intern who posted this tweet registers for Econ 101 for the fall semester.'

Biden has regularly attacked oil companies, saying they only care about profits and not the well-being of the average consumer.

The companies say in turn they have increased production to try to tame prices but that these are set on the world market and are subject to dynamics that are not under the control of US oil giants.

Majority of Americans now want Biden to prioritize tackling inflation over Russia after sending more than $5billion in military aid to Ukraine

President Biden promised the U.S. would be making sacrifices 'as long as it takes' for Ukraine, but a new poll shows public appetite for unchecked support is waning.

Polling conducted by YouGov shows that 40 percent of Americans think the U.S. should be less involved in conflicts abroad, 12 percent think the U.S. should be more involved and 31 percent think involvement should stay about the same.

Asked what Biden's main priority should be right now, 53 percent said lowering inflation or fixing the energy crisis, 8 percent said ensuring a defeat of Russia in Ukraine.

Forty-six percent said that they oppose the U.S. becoming directly involved in combat in Ukraine, 21 percent neither support nor oppose and 23 percent support the U.S. becoming militarily involved, according to the poll, obtained first by the Washington Examiner.

Biden has promised not to put boots on the ground in Ukraine.

Forty-four percent of respondents said they did not approve of Biden's handling of the war in Ukraine, 36 percent said they approve.

YouGov sampled 1,000 people from June 23 to June 29.

The U.S. has given almost $60 billion to Ukraine since the Russian invasion - $5.5 billion from the Biden administration, and $54 billion authorized by Congress. That figure does not include the tens of billions worth of American weapons and equipment transferred to Ukraine.

Concerns have mounted in Congress about the Pentagon's ability to monitor the sudden influx of cash for Ukraine and to track the thousands of U.S. weapons headed to the nation.

Meanwhile, Russia has refocused its efforts on Ukraine's eastern Donbas region. Vladimir Putin said this week there is 'no use in setting an end date' to what he calls the 'special military operation in Ukraine.' Neither Russia nor Ukraine are likely to want to come to the negotiating table and make concessions any time soon.

The News and the Good News

By Hal Lindsey

You may have seen the meme that says, “I checked Kelley Blue Book today for my car’s value, and it asked if the tank was full or empty.”

Like all good jokes, the humor is rooted in truth. As of June 2022, the average price of a gallon of gasoline had doubled since January 2021. That’s a staggering rate of growth and completely unsustainable. For a lot of people in Washington, it’s just a matter of politics. But for the rest of us, it’s about life.

Can you imagine what this does to a single mom or dad, struggling to get by? Think of what it does to an elderly person living on a fixed income when he or she spends almost a hundred dollars (maybe more) for a tank of gas? For one thing, it leaves less money to buy food — the cost of which is also going through the roof. The cost of everything is going up fast, and it looks like that trend will continue for at least the immediate future.

The Federal Reserve’s response seems to be to take the nation into a recession to try and stop inflation. But that’s a little like killing a patient to get his blood pressure down. Yes, death is an absolute cure for high blood pressure, but it seems a little extreme. Somehow, they have to try to keep the economy moving forward while also getting inflation under control. It’s a job I don’t envy.

Meanwhile, the stock market has been going down. Real estate values have been falling. Retail sales are in decline. And it looks like there will be increasing global shortages of everything from food to the fertilizers needed to grow that food. With stocks down, 401(k) and other investments are down among, not just for the rich, but for regular people. This is forcing many to delay long-planned retirements.

All that’s bad news for the United States, but it’s also bad news for the world economy. Planet earth finds itself in an increasingly desperate financial situation. And that’s just one facet of the global condition. We could look at any number of other topics that are also discouraging or even depressing.

But these things are merely the news. And the news changes day by day. The Good News in Christ Jesus, however, does not change.

2 Corinthians 1:18 (NKJV) says, “God is faithful.” His faithfulness does not fluctuate with the markets. His faithfulness is like a great rock — solid, dependable, something you can safely build on. His faithfulness does not change, but will remain eternally constant.

In 2 Corinthians 1:20 (NKJV), just two verses down, the Bible says, “All the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen.” His promises do not depend on who occupies the White House or who sits on the Supreme Court. They depend only on the trustworthiness of Almighty God and the efficacy of the blood Jesus shed on the cross to save us from sin.

When you hear the wind howling and the surf pounding, remember that if you are building your life on the firm foundation of Jesus and His word, He will care for you no matter what comes. The storms of life will pound into ruin those structures built on sand. Jesus warned about the dangers of building on unstable things — that is, building on anything less than Him and His word. But He also gave comfort to all who build their lives on Him.

In Matthew 7:24-25 (NKJV) He said, “Whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.”

If you have not yet placed your life in His hands, it’s not too late. Jesus paid for all your sins, past, present, and future. He offers you the gift of pardon right now. Tell Him you want Him to take over your life and make it what He wants it to be. You can do that right now, wherever you are.

A Pivotal Time in Israel

By Hal Lindsey

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s fragile governing coalition may have just doomed itself. They were unable to renew a law that has been automatic ever since the Six Day War. The statute simply applies Israeli law to Israeli citizens in Judea and Samaria. It is an essential law, and failure to pass it creates a major problem. Many observers see it as the last straw that will bring down the present coalition.

Writing for Newsweek in April, Israeli columnist Caroline Glick said, “The glue that formed the basis of the Bennett-Lapid government, which is comprised of three small right-wing parties, two moderate-left parties, two radical-left parties and the Muslim Brotherhood-aligned Islamic party Ra'am, is a common hatred for Netanyahu…. Ousting Netanyahu required them to form a government with the Muslim Brotherhood and the radical Left.”

As the leader of Israel’s New Right Party, Prime Minister Bennett bills himself as a conservative. But as you can see from Caroline Glick’s comments, the coalition he put together in order to form a government is anything but conservative. Bennett only won seven seats in the last election. That’s 5 percent of the seats. But he was able to maneuver his way into the job of Prime Minister.

During the campaign, he promised not to form a government with the extreme left or with an Arab party aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood. After the election, he promptly did both of those things.

Despite Bennett’s conservative past, his government has repeatedly acceded to the agenda of the left-wing. That’s despite the fact that, as a nation, Israel remains largely conservative. At the time of the last election, former Prime Minister Netanyahu was being charged with major crimes. But the case against him is now falling apart.

Without that unique circumstance, there is no way people aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood and extreme leftists would be running Israel’s government. But for the moment, that seems to be what’s happening. This government has not stood up to the latest wave of Palestinian terrorism. But they have ceded more and more of Israel’s sovereignty to the Palestinians. And the Israeli people seem fed up.

In a bid to keep his power, Bennett recently invoked the Bible. According to Israel Today, “Bennett stated that if his government falls, Israel will return to a state of ‘tohu va’vohu,’ the two words from Genesis 1:2 that are typically translated as ‘without form and void.’”

It is stunning thing for a political leader to say that he does for his nation what God did when He created the world. It does not bode well for him or his coalition.

Keep your eyes on Israel, folks. Amazing things are afoot.

Iran nuclear talks took a turn this weekend - what does it mean? - analysis

What happens in 2025 when Raisi can order the building of a massive industrial size fleet of uranium enrichment centrifuges?

The world powers’ JCPOA nuclear negotiations with Iran are potentially back on track after the European Union and the Islamic Republic jointly announced sufficient progress this past weekend.

What changed over the weekend? How will the upcoming round of talks differ in a way that could lead to a deal, whereas several rounds of talks in both 2021 and 2022 through March come to a dead end?

The room where it happens

There are hints that the US and Iran will finally be in the room together, something that has not happened since the start of negotiations in April 2021. While there might have been unofficial direct exchanges between Americans and Iranians, the official binding talks all involved shuttle diplomacy by the P5 (England, France, Germany, China and Russia) between US and Iranian representatives in separate nearby locations in Vienna.

This arrangement was demanded by the Islamic Republic and always hindered clear communication and expectations between the sides. The EU-Iran press conference this weekend hinted that Biden administration officials and representatives of Iran President Ebrahim Raisi may finally look each other in the eye. This raises expectations of this being the end game and enables the sides to know exactly where the other party stands.

Sponsored by Qatar or some other Middle Eastern sponsor with EU help – not the P5 – EU officials said that the framework of the new talks would not be the JCPOA’s P5. This raised expectations that China and Russia will be sidelined. Putting them off to the side could be important now that the US and the EU are in a massive conflict with Russia, which could turn out to be longer and more serious than even their conflict with Iran.

US-EU relations with China are not as bad as with Moscow, but have also gotten heated. It may be that it will be easier reaching a deal without those two countries present.

The cradle of civilization

Moving the talks to the region shows a greater understanding that the first impacts of any deal will be felt in the Middle East. Reassuring the Saudis, the United Arab Emirates and other Gulf countries could be crucial to getting the US to sign on to a deal. There is almost no scenario where Israel will support a deal, but Washington may hope to dampen opposition from Jerusalem.

Hosting the talks in a nondemocratic Middle Eastern country where the environment can be controlled might facilitate a variety of creative interactions and message passing that might be impossible in open democratic Vienna. Along those lines, it is noteworthy that many say secret US talks in Oman directly with Iran in the 2010s were what actually built the heart of the 2015 JCPOA.

Iran’s bluff was running out of time

IRAN’S BLUFF was running out of time. If there is a deal and it turns out months of delay by Raisi were a bluff to try to shake down Biden for additional concessions, what has changed is that time ran out on the bluff. Three weeks ago the International Atomic Energy Agency Board of Governors condemned Iran for only the second time in around 10 years, and the IAEA chief said that if the Islamic Republic did not turn his inspectors’ surveillance cameras back on by sometime around July 1-8, his agency would no longer be able to fully stand by the JCPOA as viable to block Iran from getting nuclear weapons.

Over the weekend, the US issued a bizarrely worded statement conditionally allowing some former IRGC members’ entry to America, presuming they no longer presented a security issue. It was unclear what this move meant in the broader sense of relations between the countries. But it was either a meaningful or face-saving compromise by the US toward Iran, given that Biden was unwilling to entirely delist the IRGC.

In its widest sense, the compromise could lead to releasing large sectors of Iran’s sometimes IRGC alumni-dominated economy from sanctions. If used narrowly, it still can be used by Raisi to try to moderate IRGC opposition to a deal.

None of the above would delight Israel, which had been hoping for a no-deal scenario in which it could continue to strike Tehran’s nuclear program until Raisi theoretically would withdraw from the issue in a real way.

However, with China and Russia backing Iran and Biden unwilling to talk seriously about a Plan B, it was never certain that Jerusalem was going to get a good scenario from the ongoing stalemate.

Ultimately, with or without a deal, the bigger question was always going to be: What happens in 2025 when Raisi can order the building of a massive industrial size fleet of uranium enrichment centrifuges? Will Israel, the US and the EU reach a deal to prevent the Islamic Republic from translating this into nuclear weapons, or will the ayatollahs have already positioned so many pieces that they will have reached checkmate?

G-7 leaders pledge indefinite support for Ukraine; Kyiv bombarded in 'symbolic attack' of Russian missiles: Live updates

G-7 leaders meeting in Germany plan to pledge indefinite support to Ukraine for "as long as it takes," Bloomberg news reported, citing a draft statement.

Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.S. and the U.K. are set to announce that their countries “will continue to provide financial, humanitarian, military and diplomatic support and stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes,” the draft says. The pledge could ease concerns among some Ukraine leaders that the West will press them to accept an unsatisfactory deal with Russia to end the war quickly.

Earlier Sunday, President Joe Biden announced the G-7 nations will ban new imports of Russian gold, the latest sanction aimed at raising the price Russia must pay for its incursion into Ukraine. The White House says gold is second only to energy among Russian exports – almost $19 billion in 2020. About 90% of Russia's gold exports are to G-7 nations, the vast majority to Britain.

"The United States has imposed unprecedented costs on Putin to deny him the revenue he needs to fund his war against Ukraine," Biden said in a tweet Sunday. "Together, the G-7 will announce that we will ban the import of Russian gold, a major export that rakes in tens of billions of dollars for Russia."

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko suggested Russia's missile assault on his city overnight might have been a "symbolic attack" ahead of the summit. Biden, asked for his reaction to the latest Russian strike, said "it’s more of their barbarism."
