The Weekly Watch
You Can't Make It Up!
So last week the entire Canadian Parliament rose to their feet with raucous applause for a Nazi SS Veteran. It is indicative of the way in which Russiagate has morphed into Russiahate. The MP's heard "Ukrainian soldier Killed Russians" and jumped to their feet clapping like seals, but somehow they were deaf to the phrase, during WWII when of course Russia was our ally. Then to add fuel to the fire, we had Turdeau first throw the speaker under the bus, before declaring the incident was promoted by Russian propaganda. You really can't make it up. In the scheme of things it was a trivial event, but speaks volumes of the bias and ignorance in the west.

A YEAR OF LYING ABOUT NORD STREAM
The Biden administration has acknowledged neither its responsibility for the pipeline bombing nor the purpose of the sabotage
It is important to understand that no Russian gas was flowing to Germany through the Nord Stream pipelines when Joe Biden ordered them blown up last September 26. Nord Stream 1 had been supplying vast amounts of low-cost natural gas to Germany since 2011 and helped bolster Germany’s status as a manufacturing and industrial colossus. But it was shut down by Putin by the end of August 2022, as the Ukraine war was, at best, in a stalemate. Nord Stream 2 was completed in September 2021 but was blocked from delivering gas by the German government headed by Chancellor Olaf Scholz two days prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
...
The Biden administration blew up the pipelines but the action had little to do with winning or stopping the war in Ukraine. It resulted from fears in the White House that Germany would waver and turn on the flow of Russia gas—and that Germany and then NATO, for economic reasons, would fall under the sway of Russia and its extensive and inexpensive natural resources. And thus followed the ultimate fear: that America would lose its long-standing primacy in Western Europe.
Not to mention the massive methane release perhaps the largest single release ever.
Nord Stream pipeline leaks are ‘catastrophic for the climate’
Methane leakage is likely to be the biggest burst of the powerful greenhouse gas on record in one of the most polluted bodies of water.
“Whoever ordered this should be prosecuted for war crimes and go to jail,” said Rob Jackson, a Stanford University climate scientist.
The worst-case scenario is estimated to be 778 million cubic metres of gas leaked, according to the Danish government.

What JFK tried to do before his assassination w/Jeffrey Sachs (50 min)
We will never know the world that could have been had President John F. Kennedy's assassination never taken place, but an inkling of how things could have been different can be found in the final months of his life. In his new book, To Move the World: JFK's Quest for Peace, Jeffrey Sachs unearths JFK's final political campaign—to establish a secure and lasting peace with the Soviet Union. How far did JFK's efforts go? What sort of progress was made on ending the Cold War, not through the collapse of the Soviet Union, but rather through mutual cooperation and understanding? To answer these questions and more, Jeffrey Sachs joins The Chris Hedges Report.

There are some peace seekers today. Clare Daly among them...
Clare is followed by another peace seeker, Jeffery Sachs at about the 30 min mark.
Also from the pages of, "You Can't Make It Up", is the fact that the dimwits have weaponized the justice dept into the lawfare division. They have targeted the leading competitor for the president in 2024, the Trumpster.

But even without direct access to Biden family finances, the Comer Committee produced a remarkable array of witnesses, testimony and documents. The outpouring of facts, documents and witness testimony can be overwhelming to sort out, but Comer went a long way to clarifying the complex story with the release of a Biden family “Influence Peddling Timeline.” It’s an important document, painting an all-too-human picture of scoundrels, sleaze, and corruption.
Somehow the congress critters managed to avoid a government shutdown.
Shutdown averted?
The threat of a federal government shutdown was suddenly easing Saturday after the House quickly approved a 45-day funding bill to keep agencies open, once Speaker Kevin McCarthy dropped demands for steep spending cuts and relied on Democratic votes for passage.
The rushed package would leave behind aid to Ukraine, a White House priority opposed by a growing number of GOP lawmakers, but increase federal disaster assistance by $16 billion, meeting President Joe Biden’s full request.
Don't the pols lose their pay during a shutdown, or is it just the working federal employees?
We'll see what happens after the 45 day short term funding bill.
Update (2155ET): Following the Senate’s passage of the Continuing Resolution, Rep. Matt Gaetz took to Twitter, where he was enraged over a side deal made between Speaker Kevin McCarthy and the Democrats for Ukraine funding, which Gaetz says he “didn’t tell House Republicans” about until after the vote. Gaetz was responding to Punchbowl News’ Jake Sherman, who related a message from House Democratic leadership. “When the House returns, we expect Speaker McCarthy to advance a bill to the House Floor for an up-or-down vote that supports Ukraine, consistent with his commitment to making sure that Vladimir Putin, Russia and authoritarianism are defeated. We must stand with the Ukrainian people until victory is won.”
While we're in the "You can't make it up" theme, let's touch on the censorship industrial complex. You will be canceled (or worse) for wrong think!

Dr. Peter McCullough: "The government shouldn't OWN these vaccines"
What are we to make of the new Covid vaccine? Dr. Peter McCullough joins us to discuss why he will decline to recommend them to his patients. They once again have been authorized under emergency use. What is the emergency use? We can't find it.
there are so many more "You Can't Make It Up Stories. I hope you'll add some to the mix below...
I'm fairly certain the climate chaos (NYC experienced some of that this week) will be used as a lever of control rather than a scientific effort at stabilization. Additionally the looming economic disaster will be used to introduce CBDC as more means of control.
What is it about these maniacs that drives them to want to control others?
Let's close out with one of Alex walk and talk.
US shutdown over Ukraine. Blinken's turn to rewrite history. Russia isolated by Latin America.
As you saw above the shutdown has been at least temporarily averted.
Once again I hope you'll post any story which you think deserves to be in the pages of the "You Can't Make It Up" edition. Have a great Sunday!

I don't know ask the people in NYC.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/new-york-flooding-live-up...
Subway stations flooded, and service on some lines were suspended earlier in the day. Metro-North service was also disrupted by flooding.
As of 9:30 p.m. more than 8 inches of rain fell at JFK airport in New York City, and over 7 inches was reported in Brooklyn, according to the National Weather Service. Central Park got over 5 inches of rain, and Fordham in the Bronx saw over 6 inches.
We're droughty, so from the other side of the equation Climate is an important issue...not to mention the resulting migration which accompanies climate chaos.
Of course water is a more immediate need. Three days without water and we're literally dying. So it might be a better lever, or as St George said it's a big club they use to beat you over the head.
Thanks for the visit. Have a good Sunday!

Cyrus Janssen
...is really developing into a fine journalist. I've been watching him since before he moved to Vancouver and covered the Meng Wanzhou extradition. It's a great interview of Scott Ritter.
Just a note here that a US media institution has allowed someone to speak the truth about Yoon Seok-yeol's authoritarian traits and South Korea's slide into dictatorship. The New Yorker opinion column is behind a pay wall, but I was able to read it entirely by using the New Yorker twitter link below to access it.
Thanks for the WW Lookout.

He has a good voice...
...and I've seen clips from his home with a (baby?) grand piano in the back ground. I wonder if he sings.
And just want to say so far so good on gulf hurricanes so far this year. They've all curved north. Let's hope the pattern continues.
Thanks for your continued coverage of S. Korea's authoritarian push.
“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
It's been very wet here lately
Raining four days in a row, the last couple of days almost continuously until a couple of hours ago. Now the sun is out for a change. We've had about four inches of rain in the last three days (total, my amateur measurement with a bucket). There are pools of water everywhere. Finally, the mayor had public works clear out the drainage system in this low lying community. So the area continued to drain even at high tide.
We've been very lucky so far with hurricane season. I can't believe the flooding in NYC. Never saw anything like it.
I posted one of the South Korean Armed Forces day videos here the other day. Today, I saw that Christine Ahn, a leader of the Korean peace movement here in the US, found a tweet with an even better short video piece of the marshaling area for the parade, which made the point even more effectively.-
What's with the big video screens?
Thanks LO.

I loved that headline from 9/21:
Joe Biden Faces Disastrous Defeat if RFK Jr Runs as Third Party Candidate
Team Biden should have thought of that when they were kicking RFK Jr. out of the party primaries...
The ruling classes need an extra party to make the rest of us feel as if we participate in democracy. That's what the Democrats are for. They make the US more durable than the Soviet Union was.
Boy are both the parties a joke...
Each fighting against their most hopeful candidates.
However, if either manages to get elected, the likelihood that they could actually defuse the deep state is about zero...sadly. But it is interesting to observe.
The Newsweek 2021 piece comes courteous of autoearth. Glad you liked it.
“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
GM. Curious:
which hopeful candidate on the R side is that party fighting against? I don't see an obvious counterpart to RFK Jr over there.
Interesting comment the other day from D and DNC loyalist James Carville, who nevertheless wants Biden to step aside to improve D chances in Nov. He thinks Nikki Haley would beat Biden straight up. I tend to agree.
which candidate on the R side is that party fighting against?
Trump of course...(as are the dimwits). I remind people to look at Trump's last term. He got mired in the swamp...surrounding himself with bolton, pompous, et al.
Bobby is worth considering...not that I think there's a political solution to a broken system. His announcement next Monday will be interesting.
“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
Well, the RNC
isn't exactly bringing its power to bear to prevent DJT from being nominated as the DNC is doing to Kennedy. By the looks of it therefore, they would seem to be just fine with another DJT nomination and presidency. No organized effort by Rs to prevent this. Just the anti-T centrist Rs who were against him last time, plus a few DJT former backers who've backed off this time over the indictments. Very few so far. Perhaps that number will increase as things heat up next year, and esp after a few criminal convictions.
The Swamp: Who brought in (or back) Bolton, Pompeo et al, and also elevated Fauci? Those choices are totally on the Donald. An odd way to drain the swamp. A bunch of neocon cave dwellers, excepting possibly occasionally CJCS Milley. T got steamrolled by the Deep State, but for most of that he has only himself to blame. No excuses. All I want to hear from him on this issue is, It was MY fault, I apologize and pledge to do much better next time. But apologies are not in his makeup.
He alsoreally blew it on Covid with the Warp Speed effort, which he continues to boast about, while at the same time distancing himself from the inevitable mandates. The shutdown occurred on his watch too, while he predictably tries to foist that decision off on the states, forgetting to tell his listeners that he sent out Dr Birx to the states to "encourage" them to do just that.
Typical behavior by tough-talking Tough Guys: they can talk the talk, the easy part, but usually fail to walk the walk.
Btw, thx for the link to the Hedges-Sachs interview. Sachs' book is actually from a decade ago. It was refreshing, a bit surprising, to see the normally rather anti-Kennedy Chris Hedges this time show some fairness or evenhandedness in the chat w Sachs.
The overwhelming
support for Biden consists of anti-Trump D/D-leaning voters. Given some time, once he's out of the grips of DNC primary rigging, RFK Jr should grow his base of D support to where it exceeds the number he pulls away from the R/Trump. And he would get a solid majority of D-leaning indies. Edit: Note, more voters identify as Indies than with either of the 2 major parties.
This scenario alone should give pause to the DP as they consider whether it's a good idea to put forth an aging incumbent with dismal polling numbers for over a year.
The thought does occur that maybe Jr will do to the D incumbent what his father did 55 yrs ago -- force the incumbent to step aside.
...But we all know how that ended. n/t

He was vaxxed. No prior heart issues.

My favorite example is Versailles, (in KY)
It is pronounced Ver-SALES by native Kentuckians. Every time I hear it it’s like nails on a chalk board. If I happen to forget and pronounce it as the French do, I get stared at like I’m the Martian idiot.

A warmongering peacenik
Sounds as naive as both did in the 1960s. Suggests that Bernie could be clinically diagnosed with early stage dementia; not processing new information and relies upon well worn older analyses.
Note how the liberal neocons can't address the facts directly.
I have yet to see or hear the argument that, no, the US is not funding a regime that harbors Nazis and bans its left-wing parties, that, no, 310,000 Ukrainians haven't died since February of last year, that the counter-offensives do in fact have NATO air cover, and so on. It's always Russia is evil and they're occupying Ukrainian territory so let's give them cluster munitions and anyone who says otherwise is a Putin puppet and must be immediately censored, so on.
If Russia were as evil as the liberal neocons thought it is, then the current operation wouldn't have all of the earmarks of a con job, complete with the rewriting of World War II history, and the liberal neocons wouldn't have voted against auditing the funding.
The ruling classes need an extra party to make the rest of us feel as if we participate in democracy. That's what the Democrats are for. They make the US more durable than the Soviet Union was.
Article does its own "rewriting of history"
with the apparently obligatory Big Lie that Russia "invaded and occupied" Crimea in 2014. Such comments blackwash over the existence of multi-generational Russian settler families, to say nothing of the naval base at Sevastopol that Catherine the Great bought from the Turks in the late 18th century, that has housed the Russian (and then Soviet, and now Russian again) Black Sea fleet ever since.
The Big Lie also erases, or at best minimizes with the assumption that there was "coercion", the awkward fact that Crimean citizens voted on a referendum to rejoin the Russian mainland, and that the results were overwhelmingly in favor of doing so (see: multi-generational Russian settler families, Russian Black Sea naval base).
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
Enjoy the end of the harvest moon...
It has been beautiful this weekend...
Neil Young - Harvest Moon (5 min)
Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleeping
We could dream this night away
But there's a full moon rising
Let's go dancing in the light
We know where the music's playing
Let's go out and feel the night
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon
When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart
But now it's getting late
And the moon is climbing high
I want to celebrate
See it shining in your eye
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon
Have a great evening.
See you tomorrow.

The Harvest Moon....
Why Is it Called the Harvest Moon?
For several evenings, the moonrise comes soon after sunset. This results in an abundance of bright moonlight early in the evening, which was a traditional aid to farmers and crews harvesting their summer-grown crops. Hence, it’s called the “Harvest” Moon!
There are just a little over 12 complete Moon cycles every year, on average (there being about 29.53 days in a synodic month). The Harvest Moon isn’t like the other Moons.
Usually, throughout the year, the Moon rises an average of about 50 minutes later each day. But for the few nights around the Harvest Moon, the Moon seems to rise at nearly the same time: just 25 to 30 minutes later across the northern USA, and only 10 to 20 minutes later farther north in Canada and Europe.
Additionally, the Harvest Moon rises at sunset and then will rise very near sunset for several nights in a row because the difference is at a yearly minimum. It may almost seem as if there are full Moons multiple nights in a row!

This year it was also a supermoon. Hope y'all have been enjoying the harvest moon this year!
