JERUSALEM, Aug 22 (Reuters) - Israel objects to a return to the Iran nuclear deal and if one is reached, will not be bound by it, Prime Minister Yair Lapid told French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday, according to a statement from the Israeli leader's office.

"The prime minister made clear to the president that Israel opposes a return to the deal and would not be obligated by such an agreement. Israel will continue to do everything to prevent Iran from attaining a nuclear capability," Lapid's office said.

If there was any negative feedback Israel would play the anti-Semitic card

So I saw the leaked video of the Finnish PM dancing at a nightclub and private party. Gotta say she is a pretty decent dancer. From what I read what people who looked at Twitter at least, the overwhelming response was to support her taking time off for R&R.

But then....

So after 75 years of neutrality with decent relations, Marin's government decides to break relations with Russia cutting off imports and even shutting down a train that goes from Finland and Russia and back. In addition, her government along with Estonians have threatened to shoot missiles at Russian naval vessels. Basically she has put her country close to a war footing with Russia. Looks to me like she is leading Finland to the same fate as Ukraine if NATO starts placing troops and weapon systems in Finland.

I hope the people of Finland know what they are doing.

@MrWebster

know what the hell they are doing. Their elected representatives, not so much. Getting bought
out by the NATO bloc for some short term squish funds isn't unusual for the corrupt ruling class.
The longer term repercussions of turning their backs on a neighbor, potential trading partner and
ally is myopic. Seems to be all the rage now in Western Europe. Cut off your foot to spite your
face, or some such.

Turkey may end up doing Finland and Sweden a favor by preventing them from joining NATO. There is no movement on the people that Turkey wants handed over to them.

drying up. Here’s an interesting article on how China is doing cloud seeding to help its biggest river and CNN wanted us to laugh at them for doing it. Lots of people are thinking that it’s just a little too convenient that so many big rivers have run dry all of a sudden and I’m in that boat. The elite have been saying that wars of the future won’t be over oil, but over water. They already have plans for which elite gets to control what area.

Nestle and other drink companies have been sucking up water from all over the globe and if you think they are selling even half of it back to you I have a bridge for sale. Of course they have been stockpiling it for the future when the elite decide to go live in their bunkers and who knows maybe a lot of the food that has been recalled actually is in those bunkers storage instead of being destroyed? Just remember that lately conspiracy theories have just been delayed predictions.

Am I paranoid or cynical?

Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.

The local authorities failure to arrest Imran Khan & tackle his party success in elections makes Military establishment furious. The constant internet disruptions, Army & Intelligence chiefs visits to ally countries hints at one thing: Preparations for a martial law.

US & China both are demanding political stability in Pakistan as well as Gulf Allies in return for investments and other incentives but the establishment refuses to include Imran Khan as part of that political stability as they fear his comeback to power with majority.

He has become a major player to challenge the rotten system and change the country’s course for the future and thats what elite fears as they could finally loose grip on Pakistan’s decision making & control over the administration.

@humphrey

did make international news. It was big. Way bigger than the piddly shit western nations seem to
come up with. Of course there is graft and corruption in any state. The influence of western
hegemonies gets a bit thin at the eastern fringes, especially when an informed populous
recognizes the failure of their leaders to provide for the common man. Revolt!

Bolivia, Columbia, and Brazil represent a major social, economic and cultural bloc.
Good for them to help out Cuba. The cohesive qualities south of the border will hinder
the US overlords. This is spreading a better response to the WEF control. Goodbye
dollar. Hello peso. Go Venezuela.

as Daria Dugina's Assassin -Zelensky / Mossad

The assassination of Daria Dugina and the US-NATO war in Ukraine
19 hours ago

On Saturday, Daria Dugina, daughter of Russian nationalist public intellectual Aleksandr Dugin, was assassinated by a car bomb that blew up her Toyota Land Cruiser on a highway west of Moscow, Russia.

Russian news media stated that people close to Dugin believed that he had been the intended target of the bombing that killed his daughter. The BBC reported that he had planned to travel in the same car as his daughter and changed vehicles only at the last minute.

Within hours of the attack, the US media hastened to deny the obvious conclusion that this assassination was connected to the ongoing war between the United States and Russia in Ukraine.
...
Both the evidence of history and the logic of contemporary developments lead to the inescapable conclusion that the assassination of Dugina was a political crime, bearing the fingerprints of Washington, calculated to provoke a wider war.

The involvement of Washington in such a scenario is not only plausible; it is the political default hypothesis, that which must be assumed to be true unless otherwise proven false. The entire history of US imperialism is one of assassinations and wars instigated by the US intelligence agencies.

Four days before the murder, the Times was enthusiastically describing the methods of assassination and car bombing being used by the Ukrainian secret forces. In an article headlined, “Behind Enemy Lines, Ukrainians Tell Russians ‘You Are Never Safe’,” the paper reported how Ukrainians would infiltrate Russian held territory to plant explosives and “assassinate officials.”
...
It is evident that the war has not gone well for Ukraine. Washington has funneled immense sums of money and arms into the conflict, yet Russia’s hold on southern and eastern Ukraine seems increasingly unshakeable.

The aims of US imperialism in conflict with Russia are nothing less than the redrawing of the map of the Eurasian landmass. Washington seeks to splinter the vast political bulk of Russia—from the steppes to the taiga—into manageable proxy states from which immense raw material wealth can be extracted.

If these ends cannot be achieved through a proxy war, then direct conflict must be provoked.
...
The targeting of Dugin and his daughter, both associated with the most hard-line and hawkish layers in the Russian military, will intensify the pressure on the Putin administration to escalate the war in Ukraine into open conflict with the United States and NATO. The New York Times indicated this aim today when it wrote that Putin had attempted to contain the war in an effort “to maintain a sense of normalcy” in Russian society. The assassination, they wrote, threatened to upend this.

The Kremlin kept silent, issuing no statement on Saturday in response to the assassination. Prominent militarist figures and right-wing media pundits publicly blamed Ukraine for the assassination and called for retribution. Tsargrad TV, the nationalist network of which Dugin is editor, declared that “Kyiv would shake” from missile strikes.

The New York Times wrote, “While it remained unclear how or if Mr. Putin would respond to Ms. Dugina’s death, the calls for vengeance underscored how the Ukrainian invasion’s most fervent supporters could still become inconvenient allies for the Kremlin—especially if the Russian leader seeks to avoid an escalation of the war.”

From the beginning of the war over Ukraine up to the present, the US has sought at every point to pour fuel on the fires of world war, seeking to provoke a reaction. The danger is growing daily that such a reaction will in fact come, with incalculable consequences.

Weird how it wasn’t called an insurrection when democrats voted to not certify the elections 5 times since 2000. Also weird how people don’t know that it’s legal for anyone in congress to question any election. But it’s only bad when republicans do the things that democrats also do. Funny how that works.

just $1.6 Billion

A new group led by a prominent conservative lawyer has received $1.6 billion from one donor -- the largest single contribution to a politically focused nonprofit that's ever been made public, and a fortune that could be used to fuel right-wing interests.
The nonprofit, Marble Freedom Trust, received the contribution in the form of stock and then funneled more than $200 million to other conservative organizations last year, a tax form CNN obtained from the IRS shows.
Marble Freedom is led by Leonard Leo, the co-chairman of the conservative Federalist Society, who advised former President Donald Trump on his Supreme Court picks and runs a sprawling network of other right-wing nonprofits that don't disclose their donors, which are often referred to as dark money groups.

I thought $1 Billion for an entire presidential election was too much

Vladimir Putin Goes Full Q-PATRIOT as Luciferian Liberals Go Full Balls-Out War Criminals. (Except for Trudeau - he doesn't have any balls - figuratively AND literally.)

This is a great diatribe of the current situation. Note: A diatribe (from the Greek διατριβή), also known less formally as rant, is a lengthy oration, though often reduced to writing, made in criticism of someone or something, often employing humor, sarcasm, and appeals to emotion.

Enjoy.

The Russian President and his Minister of Defense, Sergei Shoigu drop some massive truthbombs while at the 10th Moscow International Security Conference, calling out the Globalist Elites on War Crimes and creating bio-weapons like Covid-19.

Major developments in the United States as kick-ass redpilled based Patriots are making serious progress against the Liberal-Totalitarian usurpers who've stolen power.

In Canada, the RCMP are now providing evidence against Justin Trudeau who has fled the country because he knows that his arrest is now immanent.

real estate gone wild

Luxury condos in downtown San Francisco’s Millennium Tower are still attracting wealthy buyers and renters six years after news broke of the building’s sinking and tilting — though sales in the building have slowed.

The 58-story building’s structural problems, first reported by The Chronicle in August 2016, have captured international attention. But the precarious situation has not deterred buyers and renters from living in a building that attracted high-profile residents such as football legend Joe Montana with its opulence.

At least 47 units have sold at Millennium Tower since August 2016, according to real estate broker data and county assessor records gathered by theFrontSteps, a real estate company. Sales at Millennium Tower in this six-year span have ranged from $650,000 to $13 million for a 5,500-square-foot penthouse once owned by the late venture capitalist Tom Perkins.

As of February, the tower at 301 Mission St. in the city’s Transbay area had sunk 18 inches and tilted 24 inches to the west.
