Spring has Sprung, and
Change is in the Air

open thread.jpg

Did the petrodollar die this week? It is at least the beginning of the end, as oil is sold in yuan and countries like Russia are placing much of their wealth into yuan. The banking sector in the west is still feeling the shock of the bank failures last week, as other banks sit at the brink of collapse. Lula had planned a trip to China but caught pneumonia. I wonder what they plan to discuss, perhaps a Ukraine peace plan? Meanwhile things are not going well for Ukraine as Russian forces continue their advance.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). How has China boosted world development under the initiative? International investor Jim Rogers indicates that the BRI is one of the most exciting developments of the 21st century. He also points out that while the U.S. has military bases in 100 countries, China is building railroads, highways and bridges.

U.S. Admits It Wants War In Ukraine. China Wants Peace (8 min)

The Biden Administration has finally said the quiet part out loud: "A ceasefire is unacceptable." So much for respecting the sovereignty of Ukraine. And so much for claiming that it's China that wants to continue the war. It's been the U.S. the whole time. Rep. Dennis Kucinich has some words for the Biden administration and John Kirby, in particular, the Coordinator for Strategic Communications at The White House National Security Council who called a possible ceasefire unacceptable: "Who elected you? You don't speak for me." He also calls him a flack.

So what is happening in the proxy war in Ukraine?

U.S. Launches AIR STRIKES On Iranians IN SYRIA! (7.5 min)

The United States has launched what the government and our subservient media are terming “retailiatory” strikes on targets in Syria following a drone attack on an American base in the oil rich region of Syria the U.S. military currently occupies. The drone attack ostensibly came from Iranian militants occupying a different part of Syria and were responsible, we are told, for a number of injuries and the death of a military contractor.

Booth also provides her economic outlook, and suggests that investors can "be bold" in allocating more than 10% of their portfolio to gold, which she forecasts will rise in the midst of ongoing financial stress.

“Dark Scenario” for U.S. Dollar: China and Russia’s Masterplan

"I've been saying for 20 years that we will see the petrodollar system end. And now, we can say there has been an end to that system," says Willem Middelkoop, founder of the Commodity Discovery Fund and bestselling author of The Big Reset: War on Gold and the Financial Endgame. "The real question is, 'Is this start of the petroyuan system?'," he says to Daniela Cambone at the 2023 Swiss Mining Institute conference in Zurich. "The worst scenario for the U.S. is when Russia teams up with China and possibly Iran. They know they are playing a dangerous game [with] these countries," Middelkoop asserts. "It's quite clear that China is now being much more aggressive and negative about the U.S. compared to the '90s and 2000s," he continues. "A special new BRICS reserve currency could be the absolute nail in the coffin and it could be backed by a basket of commodities beyond just gold," Middelkoop predicts. "Your savings aren't safe in a bank account because it is now owned by the bank, and we've seen the repercussions of this in the past weeks with Silicon Valley Bank," he says. "It's why regulators had to guarantee all deposits... and that's endgame stuff," Middelkoop argues. "Gold will cross $2,000 and then that level will become support instead of resistance. And that's when the major bull market will start," he concludes.

And so we complete the circle of ideas today much as spring will fade into summer. From war to economic melt down due to our own policies. As I've written many times here, I hope we collapse economically BEFORE we usher in a hot WWIII. The mad people at the helm have no reverse gear, so running out of money is the only way out of this endless aggression to my mind. Well I hope you're having spring like weather. No matter the days will grow longer and the weather hotter as we come on to summer.

I look forward to your comments, ideas, thoughts, links, etc. below.

I think you nailed it by pointing out the difference between China's approach to global
development and the western empire approach to global military dominance.

BRICS encourages investment in long term goals which help countries improve
while the MIC demands compliance with geopolitical strategies only benefiting a
small group of psychopaths.

The many counties now applying for membership in BRICS is growing faster than
the number of wars and influence the US is losing

Algeria, Argentina, Iran, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, Egypt, Afghanistan,
Kazakhstan, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Senegal, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates
are all interested in joining.

If accepted, the new proposed BRICS members would create an entity with a GDP 30% larger than the United States, over 50% of the global population and in control of 60% of global gas reserves.

The writing is on the wall.

to solve all the problems. Hope and change was what we were
promised while all we got was GHWB the 4th. elections could
very well be the most meaningless act that goes on in amerika.

Democracy died long ago and it was empty suit himself imho who put the final
nail in it

https://wallstreetonparade.com/2021/08/barack-obamas-fall-from-grace/

The brutal truth is that the Obamas have been in tacky, let-them-eat-cake mode for a long time now.

President Obama was first sworn in to office on January 20, 2009 in the midst of the worst financial and economic collapse since the Great Depression — delivered to the country by the insatiable greed and corruption of the titans on Wall Street. The same men who had funded his political campaign for the Presidency.

Obama had one key job to do as President: Reform Wall Street. He punted. Instead of breaking up the mega Wall Street banks by restoring the Glass-Steagall Act, Obama signed into law the toothless Dodd-Frank financial “reform” legislation that has allowed all of the worst abuses of Wall Street to continue. At the time the legislation was signed into law in 2010, Democrats controlled the House, the Senate and the Oval Office.

On May 5, 2008, during the primary season, we wrote this:

“Seven of the Obama campaign’s top 14 donors consisted of officers and employees of the same Wall Street firms charged time and again with looting the public and newly implicated in originating and/or bundling fraudulently made mortgages. These latest frauds have left thousands of children in some of our largest minority communities coming home from school to see eviction notices and foreclosure signs nailed to their front doors. Those scars will last a lifetime.

“These seven Wall Street firms are (in order of money given): Goldman Sachs, UBS AG, Lehman Brothers, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse. There is also a large hedge fund, Citadel Investment Group, which is a major source of fee income to Wall Street.”

The recent birthday bash is certainly not the first time that the Obamas have been tone-deaf to the woes of the country. On February 18, 2013 we reported this:

“The President of the United States, who told us this past Tuesday evening in his State of the Union address how concerned he is with the middle class, disappeared into a millionaire’s enclave for a three-day bachelor vacation with pals. According to the White House, Tiger Woods was among those playing golf with the President. First Lady Michelle, and daughters, Malia and Sasha, are skiing out west.

“While the President is certainly entitled to rest and relaxation, what he is not entitled to during the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression is hypocrisy.

“Fresh from his State of the Union speech on Tuesday and a speaking tour focusing on how he plans to lift up the poor and middle class, the President flew on Friday evening to the Floridian Yacht & Golf Club in Palm City, Florida, a millionaire’s golfing enclave where cottages rent for $1500 a night and golf lessons can run $3,000 an hour. The initiation fee is a one-time payment of $50,000 and annual dues are $15,000. The facility includes a 61-foot yacht.”

The press was barred from the enclave and prevented from observing with whom the President was hobnobbing.

Had mainstream media not been wearing blinders when it came to Barack Obama, it might have noticed how he staffed up his administrations. As we reported regarding Obama’s second term:

“President Obama might as well drape the White House with a giant banner declaring in bold red type: ‘Drop Dead 99 Percent.’

“A pattern is emerging in the nominations coming out of the Oval Office. If you’ve played a role in collapsing a major bank, the President has a top slot for you. But only millionaires and billionaires need apply. Union busting scores extra points.

“Jack Lew was paid millions as Chief Operating Officer for the very division of Citigroup that collapsed the bank in 2008 and Jack Lew is nominated by the President for U.S. Treasury Secretary. Before that, Lew played a key role in busting a grad students union at New York University. [Lew did become Treasury Secretary.]

“Billionaire Penny Pritzker was involved in the collapse of the Superior Bank of Illinois, a Chicago savings and loan that went belly up in 2001 and now, according to the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, Pritzker is on the short list to become the next U.S. Commerce Secretary. [She did become Commerce Secretary.]

“Of course, there are other ways to get a salary and a pension from the taxpayer and play a leadership role in pulling the country out of the greatest banking collapse since the Great Depression. Obama is nothing if not an equal opportunity employer of opportunists. If you didn’t personally collapse anything but were white collar defense lawyer to those that did, you can become the head of Wall Street’s regulator. Mary Jo White, partner at corporate law firm Debevoise and Plimpton, whose clients include JPMorgan, UBS, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America, has been nominated by the President to head the Securities and Exchange Commission.” [White did become SEC Chair and failed spectacularly at the job.]

The former First Lady, Michelle Obama, who famously said “When they go low, we go high,” must have been thinking about fashion price tags. As we wrote on March 25, 2013:

“During the Great Depression, the President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, was rapidly creating programs to address joblessness, poverty and the plight of the homeless. The First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt, traveled tens of thousands of miles around the country, year after year, to check on those programs and report back to the public in a syndicated column she wrote six days a week titled ‘My Day.’

“In the Great Recession, with 46.2 million Americans living in poverty, including one in every five children according to the U.S. Census Bureau, President Obama is spending his weekends in the Middle East or at a millionaire’s golf club while First Lady Michelle Obama adorns the current issue of Vogue wearing designer clothes costing more than it would take to feed a family of four for a year. This comes on the heels of the First Lady’s February 24th appearance by satellite in another designer gown (a silver, custom beaded tulle by Naeem Khan) to present the best picture award at the Oscars.”

A handful of us were on to Obama from the start. Bruce Dixon was the Managing Editor of the Black Agenda Report in 2008, during Obama’s first presidential campaign. The Black Agenda Report is a political journal for black Americans. Dixon wrote the following in February 2008:

“Whether it is truly possible to hold elected officials accountable in a political system where big money, big media, big corporations and the very rich call all the shots is uncertain. But we have tried and will keep trying. So will others. The stakes are too high not to…

“The 2008 Obama presidential run may be the most slickly orchestrated marketing machine in memory. That’s not a good thing. Marketing is not even distantly related to democracy or civic empowerment. Marketing is about creating emotional, even irrational bonds between your product and your target audience. From its Bloody Sunday 2007 proclamation that Obama was the second coming of Joshua to its nationally televised kickoff at Abe Lincoln’s tomb to the tens of millions of dollars in breathless free media coverage lavished on it by the establishment media, the campaign’s deft manipulation of hopeful themes and emotionally potent symbols has led many to impute their own cherished views to Obama, whether he endorses them or not.”

CounterPunch published the book, Hopeless: Barack Obama and the Politics of Illusion. It was an anthology of articles on the red flags in the Obama candidacy. CounterPunch editors, Jeffrey St. Clair and Joshua Frank, describe the books as follows:

“The election of Barack Obama sparked long-dormant tingles of optimism in even the most entrenched political cynics. But the promise of an Obama revolution fizzled out even before his inauguration, as the president-in-waiting stocked his cabinet with corporate hacks, cut secret deals with Wall Street titans and plotted a bloody escalation of the senseless war in Afghanistan. Let this book stand as a painful reminder to those who think anything less than social struggle will net tangible gain.”

One of our articles, penned in May of 2008, appears in Hopeless. In it, we write this:

“The Wall Street plan for the Obama-bubble presidency is that of the cleanup crew for the housing bubble: sweep all the corruption and losses, would-be indictments, perp walks and prosecutions under the rug and get on with an unprecedented taxpayer bailout of Wall Street. (The corporate law firms have piled on to funding the plan because most were up to their eyeballs in writing prospectuses or providing legal opinions for what has turned out to be bogus AAA securities. Lawsuits naming the Wall Street firms will, no doubt, shortly begin adding the law firms that rendered the legal guidance to issue the securities.) Who better to sell this agenda to the millions of duped mortgage holders and foreclosed homeowners in minority communities across America than our first, beloved, black president of hope and change?”

.
The betrayal from Obama was gut wrenching and only the sniveling shitlibs still say that he was the best president since FDR. But now they are giving that accolade to Joe Effing Biden who is responsible for reversing most of FDR's policies.

Obama went with Tim Geitner's plan to bail out the banks and let them steal people’s homes through outright fraud and robo signed documents that wouldn’t have held up in court if Obama had decided to choose we the people instead of standing between our pitchforks and the banks.
And oh yeah Biden is going to put Geitner's sidekick back in office where she will continue to do what Tim started.
Besides destroying the OWS movement meant to hold banks accountable he also destroyed the anti war movement when he expanded PNAC's goals in the Middle East.

But it’s Biden who has made the biggest plunder of their goals by surrendering Bahgram air base that was supposed to be used when we invaded China. The last essay I posted goes into great detail of their plan started long before 9/11. It’s too bad it didn’t get the views it deserves. One of the best essays showing the plan I’ve read.

Speaking of Israel did anyone read the essay that Salon posted about Israel’s role in getting Trump elected? It’s full of Russia gate falsehoods, but there are some actual facts in it. I just went, DUH because Israel has been involved in our elections for a very long time. In fact no one can get elected to office without their approval and at both the state and federal levels. MoA discussed it yesterday which I suggest people read instead of the long winded essay on Salon. Bamford insists that Russia hacked the DNC computers which crowdstrike's CEO finally admitted that no they didn’t and no information was taken. Adam Schizophrenic Schiff of the we have to fight Russia over there so that we don’t have to fight them here fame hid the information for 3 years after he said that.

Look at what Israel’s lobbyist AIPAC did to not only Jeremy but also to Nina Turner to make sure that she didn’t win. Millions were given to her opponent. They also got Cindy Mikinnon (sp) kicked out of congress which she had talked about many times as well as other people.

Then there’s the listening devices of Israel’s that were found just outside the WH during Trump’s tenure and some during Obama’s. Plus Bibi went in front of congress to derail the Iran deal and he got numerous standing ovations from both sides. Shitlibs are still talking about the 9 republicans that went to Russia one year whilst totally ignoring how many congress members go to Israel EVERY year to swear fealty.

If your tin foil hat needs adjusting then so does mine. :j

Not in NYC as far as I know. My grandson and I went out to brunch and all is quiet in Tribeca. Sunny and mild. He started work at Deloitte and i asked him if he knew what BRICS is. and no, of course he didn't.

After we spent some time looking at old family fotos and he left I wrote up a list of BRICS countries, BRICS applicants---thank you QMS and the date of the next BRICS Summit, this summer. Using red and blue narrow marking pens, which is pretty much all I can see these days.

We will see each other again next Sunday, Inshallah and I will try to fill him in on what is actually happening in the world outside of the 1% bubble of the media.

Harrison is all ears fascinated by my alternative view of reality. I want him and his sister, Olivia, and their mother, my beloved daughter, Elyse, to survive what's coming.

In case it’s not clear the 2nd essay I posted is a video discussion of this and they go into more detail than the tweet about why it’s so important. She mentions how antibiotics kill the good bacteria in the gut and why that’s bad. Again it’s interesting to find a discussion on poo interesting. Smile

I’m wondering how the overuse of antibiotics in the animal kingdom is affecting their immune systems and if that’s why there are so many bird flu outbreaks? Scientists have warned against using them because of how animals are packed into such small spaces that it’s easy for viruses to spread. I doubt there were outbreaks of diseases a hundred years ago when animals had space to breathe. And now those idiots are talking about vaccinating the bees after already vaccinating the birds. Gee what could go wrong? Our government has let corporations destroy so many things on their quests to make even more money which humans just made up. I long for the Star Trek ideals of no money, no poverty and no gawd damn wars!

Geert Vanden Bossche, who predicted antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), turbo cancers and surging mortality from the C19 DEATHVAX™, has also been warning about the leaky “vaccines” incessently administered to chickens such that they would develop a super strain H5N1 (SS-H5N1).

The leaky vaccines have caused ADE in millions of people who are now on their 5th round of Covid just like Geert predicted and they have caused many mutations just like he predicted and people who have taken Pfizer’s fake ivermectin have also contributed to the virus mutating just like he predicted. It’s so worthless to use because it doesn’t wipe out the virus like ivermectin does and that’s why people get rebound Covid at least once. You think Fauci doesn’t know that? He talked about it happening years ago. You think the big pharma scientists don’t know that? If not then they have no business working on vaccines. Of course they know.

And guess what else Pfizer is doing?

Pfizer will bring Seagen's cancer drugs to the world at a scale not seen before, CEO says

Gee what a surprise. Pfizer has bought a company that makes cancer drugs just in time to deal with all the cancer they have caused through their vaccine. You know the ones that they deliberately made with genes from actual cancer! Now imagine if Pfizer executives had gone to prison on top of paying the biggest fine in history for their criminal acts.

@ggersh From what I have read, while the Russian Sputnik V like all vaccines can have side effects, I have not read it causing what researchers are calling excessive deaths. On surface seems right as the Sputnik vaccines used inert human cold viruses to carry the piece of Covid to cause an immune response. When Sputnik came out, the West and WHO ran a propaganda campaign to stop the acceptance and use of the Russian vaccine. It was fairly successful.

But given the refusal of Western countries and pharma to share the mRNA vaccines except through extortion of resources, many countries turned to the Russian and Chinese vaccines. India and Argentina both ran their own trials and declared the Russian vaccine as doing the job. I know in the case of India, Pfizer did not want to go through trials and insisted it should have an emergency designation. As far as I know, the Indians said no. But some time ago.

There was a popular theory that the Roman Empire imploded because the Romans drank out of cups laced with lead. Maybe the West caused its downfall by taking a vaccine that in many cases decimated the population with debilitating illnesses.

@ggersh As mandatory vaccination with the mRNA vaccines started up in the US, the testaments I heard around me were of rather severe reactions. Repeat severe. I began reading about it and establishment medical people and virologists said this was a minority of cases. While personal experiences did not prove the vaccines were dangerous, but caused in me skepticism. It seems my skepticism was justified.

But interesting. I made some comments about how the people around me were experiencing hard reactions. No more than that. The counter reaction was swift basically trying to marginalize my simple post. I believe now that the pharma companies hired out trolls to traverse all social media to put down skepticism.

Lots of people are being told that they just have anxiety and that their symptoms are all in their heads. It’s a disgusting way to treat people who have legitimate medical concerns. I know. It’s how I was treated during my many trips to the ER with elevated blood pressure and heart rate and signs of a heart attack only to be told that I was anxious. It wasn’t until the 3rd trip that they found out that I was septic and admitted me. The last trip the doctor addressed the wall and asked me what I wanted him to do for me. My BP was 220/160 which is way above stroke level. I said that if I did stroke then at least I could get prompt medical attention…he sighed at the wall and walked out. No one should ever be treated like that.

Imagine if hospitals actually recorded how many people died after getting remdisiver and put on ventilators and posted their kidney tests. I think the last number I saw for people who died from this formula was 80%. Plus at the beginning of the epidemic doctors put people on ventilators to help stop Covid from spreading and not because they needed to be. The NYT had an article on this, but of course there was no outrage about it because of course mistakes were made because the virus was so new that everything doctors knew about treating viruses was never applied. And then they had gotten a memo saying that they shouldn’t use antibiotics for pneumonia. That was in 2019. Why would any doctor follow this advice?

I don’t know how you can get any more depraved than this! This is a MUST read to see how the FDA willingly let big pharma create vaccines that can cause cancer and not be held accountable for what happens to people when it does. Included are transcripts of the meetings with people who knew it would happen and how they reacted to the information. This news is from 2012 and has been hidden from we the people who have placed our trust in government agencies. Big pharma pays the FDA to allow them to fast track their products without going through extensive trials. Just like the Rona jabs didn’t test for transmission, on the elderly and pregnant women, but have been saying that they are safe and effective when they are neither.

Sausage Making at FDA: How Human Cancer Cells Got Into Vaccines

In a 2012 meeting, the FDA voted to allow the use of human fetal cells and adult human tumor cells in vaccines, despite acknowledging the many risks, including that vaccine recipients might later develop cancer.

If the American people knew some of the things that went on at the FDA, they’d never take anything but Bayer aspirin.” — Len Lutwalk, FDA scientist

FDA as an arm of Big Pharma

Before reviewing the shocking transcript of the FDA meeting that approved this dubious practice, we need to understand the conflicts and corruption that pervade this rogue agency. If we are to ever develop safe, effective COVID vaccines, we need first to stop thinking of the FDA as a regulatory agency; it is an arm of the notoriously corrupt pharmaceutical industry.

A 1992 law that allows drugmakers to buy fast-track approvals for new products from FDA has poured concrete on a regulatory dynamic already corrupted by all the ubiquitous mechanisms of “agency capture.

When Dr. Fauci, Paul Offit, Peter Hotez and Bill Gates tell you that you needn’t worry because FDA is the “gold standard” for vaccine safety and that the ultimate licensing decision will be made by an “independent panel of experts,” they are talking about VRBPAC. But VRBPAC is far from “independent.” It is not even comprised exclusively of public officials. Instead, it is populated by outside “experts” who are almost all pharmaceutical industry insiders

According to findings of the congressional investigation, VRBAC’s “independent” vaccine panel members often share vaccine patents with the pharmaceutical companies whose products they are evaluating. They “own stock in those vaccine companies, receive payment from those companies for research and paid speeches. They occupy consulting lofty and powerful sinecures and accept payments to monitor vaccine trials and funding for their academic departments.”

Here’s what happened at the 2012 FDA meeting on fetal cells

HHS acknowledges that the FDA and Centers for Disease Control committees that contract and review new vaccines have historically not used “evidence-based medicine.” To illustrate what this means, one only need read (below) the astonishing transcript of the 2012 panel that first approved the use of adult cancer tumor cells in vaccines.

This transcript shows what the public is never supposed to see: the behind-the-scenes sausage-making of federal vaccine approvals. Here, you will read for yourself how the “independent,” “gold standard” panelists entrusted with protecting your children made monumentally consequential decisions, not on evidence-based science, but by rolling the dice and taking what they knew was a horrendously risky bet on public health

In any other realm, this transcript would be proof of negligent homicide. The sickening side-view of VRBAC’s deliberations reveals FDA’s “trusted experts” for what they are; sadistic boys in lab coats giddily discussing the removal of wings from flies. We are all lab rats in their high-risk population-wide experiment. At FDA’s vaccine division, that sort of reckless decision-making is routine.

Prior to voting to go forward, the committee made the following conclusions:

Making vaccines with cells that are directly derived from human cancer tumors is faster and cheaper than breeding animals for the culture media.
Millions of potentially cancer-causing vaccines will be produced.
The vaccines may possibly cause genetic mutations.
Millions of dollars will be made by vaccine promoters.
The health of millions of consumers may be jeopardized.
Information about how vaccines are made will be hidden from doctors and consumers.
This 2012 VRBPAC meeting perfectly illustrates the reckless, malevolent and murderous zeitgeist underlying the Pharma/HHS partnership. VRBPAC’s “devil-may-care” decision-making allowed pharmaceutical companies to use potentially cancerous fetal cells to make millions of vaccines

Since that meeting, vaccines containing cancerous cells and DNA strands from aborted fetuses have become pervasive among the 72 doses of vaccines that FDA has approved, and CDC “recommends” for American children. Today, the vaccines for chickenpox, MMR, hepatitis A and shingles contain fetal DNA.

Pharma knew that their tumorigenic vaccines might cause tumors in recipients.

FDA officials deliberately terminated animal safety tests too early in order to conceal consequences.

FDA decided to keep the tumor cell lines secret, because doctors and the public may be alarmed and say “Oh, my God!” if they knew the truth.

Dr. Nathanael Brady acknowledged this when he said: “How is this group (of vaccines) going to be able to be accepted by the consumers … As soon as you hear “a tumor-derived cell line,” how do you explain that, put the public at ease?”

Dr. Robert Daum further acknowledged these facts: “ …the practicing medical community and also the lay public. They are going to hear that we are recommending, or that the manufacturers are making, vaccines with tumorigenic cell lines and say, ‘Oh, my God,’ even if there’s no scientific basis to say, ‘Oh, my God.’”

There is little chance of consequence to vaccine makers from making this reckless choice, and much potential benefit. The 1986 National Vaccine Injury Act makes pharmaceutical companies immune from negligence claims and from product defect lawsuits by injured plaintiffs. Since cancer takes years to develop, causation is virtually impossible for injured petitioners to prove in the Federal Vaccine Court where HHS is the defendant.

Dr. Robert Daum agreed to conduct the mass human experiment with the following statement: “So I’m not sure that we can give a certainty there’s no risk — don’t worry about this … It’s sort of a brave new world. We’re all doing it together. But I think that you are doing a beautiful job.”

Furthermore, by the time a tumor develops, the three-year statute of limitations for the vaccine injury has long expired. Pharma is therefore recklessly and pathologically bold about putting carcinogens in vaccines.

Finally, it’s worth considering that cancer treatment drugs like Keytruda are among pharmaceutical companies’ largest profit makers. Precipitating a cancer epidemic in human populations only benefits vaccine makers’ bottom line.

Remember, these are the same companies and the same FDA regulators that brought us the opioid epidemic.

That’s enough to get your attention to why you should read this article and why you should try to find ways to not take any pharmaceutical products and especially ones that haven’t been on the market for decades. I was taking one to lower my heart rate, but it actually made it go even higher. Having it go up into the 120's when I just sitting here is damn uncomfortable and worrying.

The FDA allowed Vioxx to be fast tracked and they then watched as it killed over 100,000 people from heart attacks and only took it off the market when enough doctors made a big enough fuss about it killing their patients. But then the FDA allowed it back on with a warning that it might kill you. How many people even read the package inserts that are supposed to come with every prescription? When’s the last time you heard about a big pharma drug that is advertised on the tee vee and listened to all the side effects including death?

NATO has criticised Vladimir Putin for what it called his “dangerous and irresponsible” nuclear rhetoric after the Russian president announced his country would station tactical nuclear arms in Belarus.

Putin said on Saturday that the deployment was similar to moves from the United States, which stores such weapons in bases across Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Turkey – an analogy Western allies called “misleading”.

The Ukrainian foreign ministry accused Russia of breaching its obligations, and of undermining the “nuclear disarmament architecture and the international security system in general”.

It called on “all members of the international community to convey to the criminal Putin regime the categorical unacceptability of its latest nuclear provocations”.

But the self delusion is that Western militaries are super duper invincible. The constant propaganda trying to portray Russian, Iranian, and China as incompetent is part of that narrative building.

And of course the double tap bombings for the people who come to the aid of those at the weddings that we bombed. Remember the discussions on the use of drones and cowardly it is to use them?

They save our troop’s lives so why shouldn’t we use them?

How about our troops have no business being thousands of miles away from their country and committing war crimes in the first place?

And remember that Russia has been out of weapons since the 2nd week of the war? Lol…. Zelensky has been begging for more weapons since the 2nd week of the war, but sure it’s Russia that actually has. Good grief there has been so much propaganda shoveled on to western minds I can’t understand how they can’t see it.

Zelensky Admits Ukraine Already Ran Out Of Ammo

Zelensky’s latest damning admission. In an interview with Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun, he candidly told his interlocutors that “We do not have ammunition. For us the situation in the East is not good.”

This is a major revelation for several reasons. First, it proves that Russia is winning NATO’s self-declared “race of logistics” in the sense that its armed forces still have ammo to continue fighting while the West’s Ukrainian proxies already ran out of that which their patrons provided over the past year. Second, the aforesaid aid that was already extended to this crumbling former Soviet Republic exceeds $100 billion, which makes Russia’s leading position in this “race of logistics” all the more impressive.

Third, Zelensky’s admission adds credence to what the Washington Post recently reported regarding how poorly Kiev’s forces are faring in this conflict, especially its “severe ammunition shortages” that one of its sources spoke about. Fourth, the preceding points drastically decrease the chances that Kiev’s upcoming counteroffensive will achieve much of anything and actually make it increasingly likely that such a move would be an epic mistake that could ultimately lead to a decisive Russian breakthrough.

And finally, it can therefore be expected that Zelensky and his agents of influence across the West will beg for even more aid, arguing that the failure to pay up would risking making their prior investments in this proxy war all for naught if Kiev ends up losing to Russia. The problem, however, is that no amount of money can make ammunition appear out of thin air since it requires a lot of time to scale production accordingly to meet these newfound exorbitant needs.

The very fact that Ukraine is out of ammunition proves that the West’s defeat in its self-declared “race of logistics” with Russia might already be a fait accompli by this point since it’s clear that Kiev can’t keep pace with its opponent despite being backed by all of NATO’s military-industrial capacity. Zelensky almost certainly didn’t realize that his candid admission essentially amounted to this, but it’s presently unclear whether the MSM will inform their audience about this or not.

How insane was it to offshore our manufacturing industry to China and then plan to go to war with them? We can’t make enough weapons to keep Ukraine supplied and with lots of countries helping us with that so how in hell do we think that we can win a war with the country that we rely on to make our weapons? Has any of the brains planning this thought that through?

There's no such thing as a good war, but this one is not so bad. One of our major antagonists has been militarily emasculated for a generation. Russia's aggression has caused bordering countries to make common cause and Norway and Sweden to join Nato followed by ukraine when they regain territorial integrity. All at no cost in US lives and not much cost in treasure compared to the fiascos in Iraq and Afghanistan.

China is happy to buy cheap oil, but reluctant to adventure into a similar quagmire against a much more difficult Taiwan. And best of all, China is not supplying Russia with weapons or ammo. Russia's reliance on importing capital goods (things used to make other things) has bitten them in the butt.

My only wish is that congress would fight inflation by raising taxes instead of the Fed raising rates.

One of our major antagonists has been militarily emasculated for a generation.

Ukraine had 8 years to get ready for the planned war with Russia and they had built up the places to defend against Russian forces and yet they still have been defeated 3 times already. They are only able to continue fighting because of how much we have been supporting them. Russia wiped out their air forces in the first week as well as their navy which is why they have to depend on our inferior weapons to try defend themselves. And just yesterday Zelensky bitched about not having enough weapons to take back the territory Russia has captured.

Russia’s economy is doing a hell of a lot better than ours and especially better than Germany and most of the EU states.

As for this:

There's no such thing as a good war, but this one is not so bad. All at no cost in US lives and not much cost in treasure compared to the fiascos in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It hasn’t been Russia who has to resort to kidnapping people off the streets to go fight the war without adequate training or weapons that can stand up against Russia’s artillery and air forces. But if you think it’s worth it to see close to 300,000 casualties from Ukraine I don’t know what to say except ick! Zelensky is sacrificing his citizens for a war that everyone knows that he can’t win. Russian casualties are much lower than Ukraine’s. And you aren’t hearing about the number of deaths from the US citizens that are fighting in mercenary armies and coming home in body bags. 40 NATO troops were recently killed in one of Russia bomb attacks on their drone headquarters. This was posted here a few weeks ago.

Again maybe you should start reading about the truth of the war instead of the ones that have been lying to you.

I see that you are still reading the same propaganda sites that are constantly lying to you about how well the war is going. Won’t you be surprised when Zelensky has to sue for peace? I just posted how he is once again begging for weapons because his troops are out of them again.

Mines, Depleted Uranium, and Important Addendums

I wanted to follow up with a little explanatory piece about two currently crucial issues faced by the Russian side in the war.

Firstly, there’s the topic of DU—depleted uranium. Britain has announced that it will be supplying DU penetrator rods along with its Challenger-2 tanks. As you know, with my analysis, I always strive to uncover the small unspoken things under the hood, the angles that the more ‘mainstream’ narratives fail to see, acknowledge, or understand.

British defense ministry has issued a statement, citing ‘independent research from scientists’, that any adverse health effects from DU are minimal: Video.

It’s difficult to fully verify, particularly due to the fact that its so greatly in the U.S. and West’s interests to sweep under the rug and memory hole such research, but the numbers floating around the internet are along these lines:

Study Fallujah, #Iraq 2005 - 2010:

▪️Leukemia increased 38x,

▪️Brain tumors 13x

▪️Lymphoma 10x

▪️Cancer in children 10.5x

But there are two ways to think about this. The first is that, the Battles of Fallujah, which are the primary culprits where this DU poisoning took place, were maybe two months long in total, combined. That means, we can consider the fact that in only two months of firing DU in Fallujah, they poisoned the population to such a degree as to affect upwards of 14% of births with defects.

Many or most of us agree that the Ukrainian war will drag on perhaps for several years. So imagine what type of contamination would result from a period of DU usage that is 10x or 20x longer than the Fallujah battles which scoured and poisoned the landscape?

He then talks about the mines that Ukraine has been using against Russian tanks and how they differ from older ones.

Now, in this segment I want to cover a few technical things that I’ve been meaning to cover, in order to help explain some of the situations on the front that have left some people puzzled.

The first of which is the mine situation. Particularly in regard to Ugledar, where we witnessed some nasty videos of Russian tank scouts from the 5th Tank Brigade and infantry of 37th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 36th Combined Arms Army (Eastern Military District), as well as the 155th Pacific Fleet Naval Marines get decimated by mines in a couple of outings.

Many were understandably shocked and puzzled at how this could happen, and why Russia can’t properly clear the mines. Firstly I posted photos like this one, showing the sheer density of TM-62 mine saturation that the AFU carries out in these approach fields:

He is going to answer paid subscribers emails and if you want to read them you have to subscribe. I’m fortunate that most of the people I’m following rarely post paid content. The daily end times essays by lioness of Judah are always free. She packs them full of information I don’t see elsewhere.
