    Portavoz is Spanish for spokesman (aka spokesperson).

    Portapotty is Washington ‘s equivalent as both are designed to contain the same matter.

    Washington has collected the finest assembly money can buy:
    the much less than admirable John Kirby,
    and the clone Matthew Miller,
    the wannabe (something) Patel,
    and a mop headed floozy whose name is forgettable and I have.

    HBO ‘Real Time’ host Bill Maher has predicted that if Donald Trump is sentenced to any prison time, there will be a civil war that will quickly evolve into a race war because of MAGA supporters.

    Bill Maher is saying that the “white supremecists” – as he believes even the black Trump supporters to be – are the ones focusing on race, on DEI, on making sure that everybody knows what colour they are and how they deserve reparations for their colour from the white supremecists. Nobody has done more to Make America Racist Again than the likes of Bill Maher.

    And, now he is projecting, accusing his victims of being the instigators, the perpetrators. He supports the people who are willing to destroy the USA’s reputation in order to satiate their hatred of Trump, a hatred injected into their feeble brains by the likes of the MSM and the women on the View. The Trump haters I know still believe in the Russian collusion, still believe HRC was robbed by the Russians leaking her emails etc. They are helpless, they do an investigation, it comes up with nothing, they then don’t believe it, because, being nilhilists, their heads are way, way up their asses.

    Is there anything, including their country, that progressives will not sacrifice to get rid of Trump; or to put it another way; has any one man ever lived rent free in so many semi-functional brains in the history of the human moron? It is like a fucking religion, these people are insane, like cults are insane, they are simply not able to think anymore. There is no way that Trump could ever Make America Great Again, he simply does not have the material, the people are useless and should do their best to gracefully retire into irrelevance, and the worst are the upper middle classes, the social climbers, the wannabes, like De Niro and that other actor, the one with a foundation that is prosecuting Russian journalists …. these people are insane, but these people have been the heroes of the American moron for so many years.

    “Maher: If Trump Goes To Jail There Will Be A Racial Civil War “MAGA nation will go nuts”

    What the what? Against who? Blacks against da Man who put their new hero in? Again, no one on the left has the slightest theoretical framework for Maga, and also because they don’t ask, listen, or believe what they’re told. Great, I guess. If they DID understand, they would attack, respond, and accurately.

    WSJ: U.S. Actively Preparing for War with China.”

    No. No we are not. Seriously, definitively. Not at all. Not a little. Not a lot. We might, hmmm, I dunno, MAKE SHELLS. We might – spitballing here – MAKE A SHIP. We might, I dunno, HAVE A NAVY. You know, one with at least as many ships as Admirals? There are about 10,000 things you would need to do to “Actively Prepare for War” and we have done ZERO of them. Build barracks. Recruit soldiers. Fix PR. Fund the VA not to be an epic abusive embarrassment.

    There’s one thing we’re doing you would NOT do, nor need to do: TELL THEM. Ferme la Bouche. Zip it. Shuddappa you face. http://Www.HushIt.com. Don’t talk, don’t position, don’t hint, don’t reveal: nothing. This is the only thing we ARE doing, and it has exactly zero to do with war.

    WSJ: The Paper of Retractions. Would you like to elaborate on this bold and knowing lie?

    “Biden is starting war with Russia yet letting our military at home be overrun.”

    Yes, WHY? First there is no “Biden”, but why? We are not preparing for war, clearly we have neither seriousness nor urgency about it, so it’s impossible to fight it, much less win it.

    Oh, “They’re stupid”, that’s why. No, I don’t think so, so think deeper. They’re definitely into war, but into a war they lose? Doesn’t that usually go bad for the leaders as much as for anyone?

    I’ll start: We’re at $1 Trillion every 100 days, at $36 Trillion. The $1T every hundred days, is the EXTRA, above crushing taxes where they think if they CDBC they can tax garage sales and the babysitter — we’re actually spending like $2T. Then 50 days, then 20, then 10… So why would they need a war with China?

    So we can default on the bonds. That’s all. You don’t pay your enemy. It’s all an excuse. “It’s not whether you win or lose, but where you place the blame.” There needs to be a war so it can be “Not the narcissist abuser’s fault”. After that, who cares? Call a surrender, flip the government, it’s not like they’re going to land in ships and occupy – Biden already just did that.

    For the Abbot quote, Oklahoma is passing a law you can’t be there not as a citizen. Devolution. Government is reverting to the States, EVEN in the face of failed Federal function. What did we just see and set precedent for? Any STATE can arrest and find a President guilty on any charge. Ex-President, like Bush, Obama, etc. State’s rights. Devolution. YOU wanted this. YOU made this precedent.

    Tucker: he’s responding to Narcissistic Abuser playbook. PRETENDING is the major/only action. “We’re doing it all for you” “I love you so much”, “You’re just crazy but I’m here to help.” Stop the lie; stop the abuser. If you love THEM, much less yourself, you’ll cut them off.

    ““It was our grandparents, my grandparents, who contributed to building this peace and freedom”

    Truly crazy. Her grandparents (and mine) CAUSED a war, and fought it. A world war. The worst one yet (in raw numbers) and ended with a nuclear “exchange”. WHAT peace and freedom? And worse of course was that her grandparents were the 3rd Reich, Nazis in Ukraine, attacking our biggest Ally, Russia. …With Peace like this, who needs war?

    War = Peace. Ignorance = Strength. You did it, you magnificent bastard, you actually did it.

    “Russia could retaliate by freezing the entire Western clearance system, warns Jim Richards,”

    Seems as messy as most of the other actions, but necessary and methodical. $27,000 gold is stating we’ll be on a “Gold standard” (actually not, calculations on the number are mostly a 10% backing, amazing enough). However, note that far from stopping, a gold standard would BE “Deflationary”. In the worst and longest possible way. You’re flipping from an all-inflation, highest inflation machine to a low/zero inflation machine. So everyone is borrowing in thin money – very thin money, 1%, then paying back in thick money – gold, the thickest, say 8%.

    Not that that isn’t good perhaps, but it’s “Shock Doctrine” and “Disaster Capitalism” to stop, re-invent money, business, finance, borrowing, rules, structures, perceptions, approach, reward, expectations… Who then benefits? Same as all Disaster Capitalism: the RICH can buy/sell assets in hours or weeks, with a team of accountants, then if anything happens get a 100% bailout and go home with record bonuses. The workers, not so much. Anywhere there is debt, it MUST be defaulted on, as it would 800% your effective loan and repayment. However, good and well-meaning workers are never going to “just bankrupt” for no reason, even if they should. So there you have it: utterly annihilating all workers, all their work and assets are transferred to the rich. Only they’re adding a twist and not doing it ONLY with today’s inflation, they’re stopping at the last yard of a 10-mile run and doing it backward to the finish line. Whooptie-do.

    Now: that’s not to say BEING in a gold-backed hard-money world won’t work, and that’s the selling point of narcissistic abusers. “You want to go on vacation, honey? Oh, that’s a great idea! I’m gonna give you a vacation you won’t forget. Here, first I’ll bring my mistress along, then we’ll go gambling on this drug run I’m going to SAY is our vacation…” But none of that is going to matter because in the transition, we’ll already have moved back to Neo-Feudalism, or in this case, Techo-Feudalism. And you’ll own nothing, because I’ll own everything. Good luck with your gold standard, sucker, when I own all the police, laws, and can steal your gold with no law, reason, or justice, at any time. …And WILL.

    No, Jim, $27k and a gold standard IS Deflation. Maybe we have to get there, but there better be steps. Like a Jubilee. A written re-structuring with rules.

    “Hardly a day goes by without pleas to defend [the word “Democracy”], protect it, fight against its sworn enemies, or celebrate its virtues with pompous clichés. Precise and neutral usage has given way to an ideological tinge that is as electrified as it is vague.”

    Attack the language. Not only does this tell me what you’re up to, but WHO is doing it and who you are. I tell with my eyes closed at this point. Like a shaolin master, put on a blindfold first and still parry all attacks. Speaking of gold standard, I realized that Money is LANGUAGE: it’s how we actually communicate with each other for real, what we want, are doing, etc. Not in lies, but FOR REAL, for serious. Great, not new. BUT: note it’s exactly the same, or even before: CORRUPT THE LANGUAGE. That is, corrupt the most important language THE MONEY. Just as Comrade Lenin said. It will utterly destroy the poors, the working, and give all power to the Party’s Central Committee. Money = Language ( in one of it’s many functions, along with store of value and unit of account) and we ONLY corrupt it because I Win: You Lose. Obviously! Otherwise what’s the point? And you would just have honest money and not bother. Yes, it tells me they are communists, because they are the sole ones, in the last 100 years, that corrupt language as a opener, a middle, and end game. It’s playbook 1-100, through volumes I, II, and III.

    Always, always lie. Never stop lying. Lie when you get up in the morning and when you go to bed at night. “When it’s serious you have to lie.” …And it’s always serious. Stealing is serious business.

    “Clearly, for the current Western elites, democracy has come to mean a system not intended to be run democratically in response to the will of the people, but run by self-proclaimed democrats.”

    You want “Democracy” and will do anything for it, give me any money and power? I’ve changed my name to “Democracy Jones”, now you have to pay and support ME! Literally it is no more complicated or smarter than this, “Democratic” Party, “Republican” Party. If you said you wanted “Happy-Joy” I would change my name to Mr. Happy-Joy Esq. “I AM the Science!!!” –Fauci.

    And why? BECAUSE IT WORKS. The minute it stops working and people don’t respond like toddlers to the use of some Pavlov whistle, they’ll move on to something else.

    And anyway, nothing to do with Logic, #Logos, as we’ve said for years that “Isn’t Democracy simply “Populism”? Doesn’t that make “Populism” the very highest possible form of “Democracy”? But you don’t want that and outlaw the vote, outlaw referendums? And every administration does the #Opposite of what the People, i.e. “Democracy” wants, and it’s always the same policy regardless of who is in? Almost as if, like Tucker, it’s merely “the bureaucracy” doing what’s best for itself AGAINST the People’s best interests?

    Yeah, it’s just an empty word, like all our words: attack and corrupt the language so you can’t think straight. Orwell 101. He didn’t invent it, he just warned you about others.

    ““People get it. It’s a scam. And the Republican Party… they’ve stuck together in this. They see it’s a weaponization of the Justice Department of the FBI and that’s all coming out of Washington,”

    This isn’t stopping the polls, so now we need to stage an assassination. Yawn. They all run their playbook but I’ve read their playbooks and they’re all the same. No imagination.

    Noting: Styx is an excellent election coverer, and he’s pointing out that GOP is supporting Trump. Yeah, no surprise. And after the verdict, DNC supporting (or actually opposing, as they hate FJB as much as the rest of us). No votes changed. GOP took in more donations, but so did the DNC. The only gap was in enthusiasm. So the seen and the unseen: they pointed the camera at TRUMP and the verdict, the GOP base, and AWAY from WWIII for instance, to get that through and running. But ALSO away from the DNC base, and whether they’re keeping pace. Eye on the ball.

    Does it matter? Nope. They haven’t fixed the counting. “Can’t see the ballots, can’t see the machines.” No court has yet taken up the merits, 100% ruled on “standing”. So why not 600M votes for Biden? The entire world can vote, and I expect Aspnaz to vote from Taiwan. Why not? It’s perfectly legal and he can mail it in. I’ll both mail him a ballot, and deliver it for him, and fill it out, actually, if he does it wrong. Perfectly legal, when examined, no court had any problem with this.

    ““Everything becomes racial in this country. That’s partly because of our horrible, despicable racial past”

    You mean the past where all races came here and were successful, becoming billionaires? Sounds awful. We should stop that and “Fundamentally change America as we know it.”

    “The judge was not White.”

    No? New white, adding to the 29 flavors of Schrodinger’s white. He sure looked white to me, could hardly be whiter. Bill keeps 3×5 trading cards on the exact ethnic DNA percentages of all people though, because that demonstrates how you’re not racist at all. He pulled out Merchan’s card, and boom: then told the rest of us what magic was written there. If Geobbels is only 60% Aryan, then he can only be 60% minister, right? And thus with Maher, representing the Left. Stay Classy!

    “HBO ‘Real Time’ host Bill Maher has predicted that if Donald Trump is sentenced to any prison time, there will be a civil war that will quickly evolve into a race war because of MAGA supporters.”

    You mean people like me who don’t keep 1/16th, 1/32nd race cards and can’t tell the difference? How will I know who to shoot? Can I shoot Obama’s white half or only his black half? Logic! Anyway: Now we know your game plan – same as the last 60 years’ game plan – because “The Plan” is the Plan and never changes. Newsflash: Everyone in America is interracial. That’s for several reasons, but a big one is, you keep adding races, genders, exclusions, so that there are so many all of us now have one. There is no “Christian Right” or “Christian White” and hasn’t been for 40 years. Get a clue.

    Thankfully these guys are so stupid Obama lit this off, it totally failed, EPICALLY, so he did it again, Squib, failed EPICALLY, and that was 2008. Almost 10 years, didn’t learn a thing, didn’t update The Plan by a single word, as they are Minions and incapable of thought.

    But that’s “The Plan” as described by Podesta, etc and Maher gets his words out of the same field.

    Okay, let’s add on: YES we are going to have a Civil War, YES we are going to have a race war. They totally, totally believe it. The whole Left, to a man, is 100% certain this is happening, IT’S ON! Right NOW. …And…they haven’t stocked a single can of beans? Never looked at a gun? Have done no training? Didn’t put a lock on the door? Didn’t join the army? Didn’t bury any gold? The Civil War is TOMORROW!!!! At sentencing!!! Honust! And everyone so perfectly believes this that they did………exactly nothing. Not a thing, didn’t lift a finger, nada. Zero. Zip.

    Oh, well I see how much we’re in a Civil War tomorrow Bill, both Left AND Right.

    It’s amazing you can never get discredited for these things. Aspnaz, citizens worldwide: “They said it (about America), therefore it’s a lie (about America)” They’ve never told the truth in our lifetimes, they’re not telling the truth now.

    “the claim that the audiotape but not the transcript remains privileged is hard to square with precedent or logic.”

    Point. Same point. They don’t care about law, precedent, logic, anything, CLEARLY. They only care about POWER. Power over you to DO WHAT I SAY. …To your own detriment or I wouldn’t have to make you.

    “ ‘Leader of the Free World’ Permits Genocide And Global Annihilation (SCF)

    Still has a wide array of strong followers though. Just go ask.

    “The Biden White House said the mass murder did not cross any supposed red lines”

    Red lines? They gave him a medal. And not in the White House but in Congress as Nutsy spoke again to yet more standing ovations, with Mike Johnson unzipping his pants.

    “President Putin warned that such relentless escalation would have dire consequences.”

    Really? Because so did Biden. Many times. “That’s called WWIII, Jack.” Then just like Germany, immediately caved in, went and did the thing that’s impossible because it causes WWIII. No one notices. They love it.

    “• Biden Doesn’t Want To Be Responsible For WW3 – White House (RT)

    I won’t ask how that squares with his actions because it doesn’t. “They said it, therefore it was a lie.” In one example they are correct: Biden doesn’t want to be SEEN as responsible for WWIII. …I mean, he wants it, he just wants it to be somebody else’s fault, and Russia has not been particularly accommodating.

    ““We’ve been concerned about escalation since the very beginning of this war. And those concerns remain valid,” Kirby told ABC’

    Yes, that the escalation isn’t going fast enough and is exposing the West’s treason too much.

    ““It will take time for the defense industry to ramp up its capacities. We now have around five to eight years to catch up”

    Well, Russia will just call a time out and patiently wait for you to re-arm and rebuild, just like it takes 10-20 years to build a battleship. China will just wait for us, because the script says we have to win like that.

    ““They want us shut down because in bankruptcy and what was happening we have a path with the judge to continue on for years, and the judge has signaled that. So, different groups involved in the bankruptcy that will be exposed soon have literally made a move to shut this place down and end my show,” Jones said.”

    6 months before the election? What are the odds?

    “Had the company gone just two more days without an incident, it would have satisfied a settlement to avoid criminal prosecution by the Department of Justice”

    I see no criminal prosecution, nor are you saying that if a door rips off, the DoJ and others won’t care and can’t prosecute? This sentence makes very little sense.

    The Falkirk wheel in Scotland”

    Oddly, the reason isn’t what you think. It’s cool and a tourist attraction, engineering novelty, folly and showpiece as canals are no longer commercial. But the reason they built it is that it’s cheaper than 10 conventional locks. Really. Which is interesting. Now that price may be bent, as this may break faster, etc, land locks last 200 years, but it’s worth thinking about.

    As I cover #Logos to nauseum, https://barsoom.substack.com/p/the-reenchantment-of-the-world?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2 Barsoom covers #Logos in the Greek (Western roots) standing, but points out it requires its counterpoint #Mythos to exist. It’s impossibly long, the length of a dissertation, but only 1/3 of the way down. #Mythos is the non-logical, the impressionistic, the underlying inter-connections. His point is that we have over-Logos’ed, Logic’d such that we now tell facts that are complete fiction. Science facts. Whereas Mythos tells lies that are True. Like they say a good novel is.

    Now I bring up #Logos because we are NOT #Logos at all, we are #AntiLogos in every action of all 24 hours every day, just as Science does the #Opposite of its own credo and rules, 24 hours every day, retracting another 11,000 papers. But I have the Mythos, the emotion, the inspiration, the connection, the religion. It’s just that nobody wants to hear about that, or at least not here. I claim to be a Christian, and might be, who knows? But nobody wants to hear much of my Inner Light of Christian inspiration and direct contact with God. Nor would it be much good taste to claim so. We who are flawed and constantly wrong as well-proven in our lives. Just saying I already know Mythos, the Magic, which does indeed keep #Logos from going bat-insane as we see daily in our atheistic, nihilistic culture. A Death Cult.

    This got lost, thought I added it days ago:

    JB likes to keep track of this stuff. https://www.vox.com/culture/351890/your-favorite-brand-no-longer-cares-about-being-woke

    Apparently Trump is the only thing in advertizing? When he’s no President? His name is in every paragraph. That also completely un-self-aware that HE did nothing. NO-THING. Their REACTION – which was entirely under THEIR control – was the cause of everything. Just like Covid.

    Trump wants Nikki Haley on the team. Nice. My wife has been saying to me for ages that she believes that Trump will be used to build the crowd, then he will be removed – I assume she means maybe jailed or assassinated – and then replaced with someone much worse, someone like Nikki Haley who has no popular support but has the support of Trump’s backers. Trump’s job is to get the sheep following him, then it is easy for his backers to use short-term PR to redirect the sheep to the wrong pen; let’s face it, Trump’s natural supporters are like the police, not the smartest bunch in the sheep pen. If something happens to Trump just before the election, his followers will latch onto anyone that appears to be the natural heir, and it would not take much, in terms of payments to alternative news sites etc, to steal the Trump crowd. I am starting to wonder whether she has 20:20 vision of the future, we shall see.

    As a child aged about 15 years, I was with my parents and siblings enjoying a picnic on the banks of the Seine in Paris. I guess we were not the sort of family who could afford a restaurant meal, so we sat on some steps that led down to the water. As we sat, we noticed a procession of turds float past us, this was not sludge, this was complete turds, in the same form as when they were delivered to the toilet. Quite some show when eating a sandwich. My view of Paris as a shite hole with beautiful architecture has never changed.

    China playing the USA’s PR game. China has no urgency to take over Taiwan, once the USA has collapsed and the Chinese have superior semiconductor technology, the Taiwanese will be begging to be friends with China, there won’t be any other game in town. Unfortunately for Taiwan, China will already have everything that Taiwan can offer, so Taiwan will end up being a second class province of China. The higher your climb, the further you fall.

    China is using the USA’s Taiwan PR to project themselves as reasonable and restrained, which they are and they are also willing to wait until Taiwan crumbles. While the west concentrates on Taiwan, portraying China as the bogey man, and while China plays up to that PR, China’s internal issues and policies are ignored, so they can do what they like without criticism or pushback.

    The only reason this Beijing guy is saying all this stuff is to play along with the USA and to try to neutralise the USA PR. Taiwan is important to China, but there is no urgency to bring them on board, China is much more concerned about making their economy independent of the USA and lifting their poor to a higher standard of living. Their only Taiwan goal is to prevent Taiwan going for independence from China, something the USA is trying to persuade them to do, the USA being the forever shit stirrers.

    Simplicius: Ukraine’s Latest Gasp Off to Rocky Start
    An orgiastic hubbub continues to surround the West’s newfound ‘permission’ for Ukraine to strike Russian soil.
    ​ Many in the pro-Russian sphere are losing their minds over it, calling for nuclear retaliation, WWIII, and more.
    ​But as I wrote last time, it’s clear that a large part of this desperate morale-boosting work-up is nothing more than a cheap grandstand without much substance behind it.
    ​ There’s the fact that when you look under the hood, the messaging itself is mixed, with Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh yesterday contradicting reports by stating that Ukraine does not in fact have permission to strike Russian territory.
    ​ This was followed by reports further tempering the noise which said that Ukraine has limited permission to use American weapons only around Belgorod region and only on Russian military targets which are involved in the ongoing Kharkov campaign.
    ​ Yesterday strikes on Belgorod region began, with images surfacing which show recovered GMLRS rounds from the HIMARS after Belgorod defenses allegedly downed a full salvo.​ [They used cluster-munitions on civilian areas of Belgorod, a war crime.

    ​ Lavrov: Russia Sees NATO’s Plans to Supply F-16s to Ukraine as Signal in Nuclear Sphere
    ​ The Russian Foreign Minister further indicated that Russia will consider the supply of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine a deliberate signal action by NATO in the nuclear sphere.
    “F-16 fighter jets have long been the main means of delivery in the framework of the so-called NATO joint nuclear missions. Therefore, we cannot but consider the supply of these systems to the Kiev regime as a deliberate signal action by NATO in the nuclear sphere. They are trying to make it clear to us that the US and NATO are ready for literally anything in Ukraine,” Lavrov said.​ https://sputnikglobe.com/20240530/lavrov-peace-conference-with-ukraine-russia-could-be-continuation-of-chinas-efforts-1118693618.html

    ​ Senior security official Dmitry Medvedev says Russia is not bluffing when it speaks of the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine.
    Medvedev, who is currently the deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, also warned Moscow’s conflict with the West could escalate into all-out war.
    ​ His warning came after the US and Germany became the latest allies to let Ukraine’s military use Western-supplied weapons to strike targets inside Russia.
    “Russia regards all long-range weapons used by Ukraine as already being directly controlled by servicemen from NATO countries. This is no military assistance, this is participation in a war against us,” Medvedev said.​ “And such actions could well become a casus belli (an act that provokes a war).”
    ​ He said giving Kiev permission by the Western countries to use provided long-range weapons and ammunition to strike targets inside Russia will escalate the Ukraine war to its final stage.​ “Nobody today can rule out the conflict’s transition to its final stage,” Medvedev said.
    ​ He said it would be a “fatal mistake” on the part of the West to think that Russia is not ready to use tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine.​ https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2024/06/01/726613/Russia-Medvedev-Nuclear-Threat-Over-Ukraine-No-Bluff

    ​ Pepe Escobar: The West is Hell-Bent on Provoking Russia Into Hot War
    ​ Richard H. Black, a former US senator from Virginia, offers a sobering analysis:
    “This is a continuation of the pattern in which the NATO forces recognize they are losing the war in Ukraine, with the fragile lines of defense breaking, and the NATO response is to escalate. This is not accidental, but very deliberate. It is not the first attack on the Russian nuclear triad. The ideological folks are seeing their world crumbling, after flying the rainbow flag over conservative countries and [waging] perpetual wars. They are frantic and could escalate to nuclear war to get out of the bind. They are taking a series of baby steps, and respond that ‘they don’t do anything in response,’ and so they keep taking baby steps until one of them lands on a land mine and we are into World War III. (…) Putin is very aware of the disconnect in the West, who keep saying he is just saber rattling, but he is not—he is informing the West of the dangerous reality.”​ https://sputnikglobe.com/20240530/pepe-escobar-the-west-is-hell-bent-on-provoking-russia-into-hot-war–1118696941.html

    ​ Andrew Korybko, Putin Expects NATO, And Possibly Poland In Particular, To Escalate The Proxy War In Ukraine
    ​ From the looks of it, Poland is indeed preparing to conventionally intervene in Ukraine if Russia achieves a military breakthrough, which could spike the risks of World War III by miscalculation due to the US’ dangerous game of nuclear chicken that it’s playing as explained here. In sum, the NATO-Russian security dilemma is spiraling out of control, and Russia might use tactical nukes in self-defense to stop any large-scale NATO invasion force that threateningly crosses the Dnieper towards its newly unified regions.
    ​ Therein lies the importance of President Putin hinting that his country might expand its “security zone” to defend against Ukraine’s use of long-range precise strike systems against targets within its pre-2014 territory. He wants NATO to know the territorial extent to which Russian forces might go in the event that the front lines collapse, which is essentially dependent on them and their decision to allow it to use such Western arms with the bloc’s space reconnaissance support.
    ​ The message being sent is that Russia has no interest in going beyond those geographical limits that NATO itself is responsible for setting through its abovementioned decision, which is meant to prevent the bloc from overreacting if their opponents achieve a military breakthrough. A Polish- and/or French-led conventional intervention would already be dangerous enough, but that invasion force’s potential crossing of the Dnieper could trigger a tactical nuclear response from Russia in self-defense.
    ​ The latest military-strategic dynamics suggest that a conventional NATO intervention is seriously being considered, even if it’s only a partial one that remains west of the Dnieper. The signals coming from NATO as a whole and Poland in particular show that they want an escalation in order to continue fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian, but President Putin just countersignaled that his country is prepared for all eventualities. It’s therefore up to the West whether or not everything spirals into World War III.​ https://korybko.substack.com/p/putin-expects-nato-and-possibly-poland

    ​ Moscow Has Right to Take Proxy War With NATO Global as Bloc Greenlights Strikes Deep Into Russia
    ​ Russian officials blasted Washington and its allies on Friday over the escalation of the Ukrainian proxy war through NATO countries’ decision to approve long-range attacks on Russia, with both the Kremlin and the Foreign Ministry pointing out that the alliance never shied away from allowing its proxies in Kiev to target the Russian hinterland.
    ​ “We are aware that attempts to strike Russian territory with American-made weapons are already being made. This is sufficient for us, and it clearly demonstrates the extent of the United States’ involvement in this conflict,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Friday.
    Separately on Friday, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg confirmed that allies had approved long-range strike weapons’ deployment, and said the bloc expects Kiev to use these arms “in a responsible way” in line with international law…
    ..Former Russian president and deputy Security Council head Dmitry Medvedev said Friday that Russia would “proceed from the fact” that all long-range weapons used by Ukraine “are directly controlled by military personnel of NATO countries,” and emphasized that “this is not ‘military assistance’, but participation in a war against us” which constitutes a possible “casus belli.”
    Earlier this week, President Putin warned that NATO countries should be aware “what they are playing with” when it comes to approving long-range attacks on Russia via Ukraine.​ https://sputnikglobe.com/20240531/moscow-has-right-to-take-proxy-war-with-nato-global-as-bloc-greenlights-strikes-deep-into-russia-1118717071.html

    ​ White House Lied To Congress About Israel-Gaza, Per Official Resigning In Protest
    A State Department official has resigned in protest, saying the Biden White House lied to Congress on a critical report so American weapons could keep flowing to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) for its war in Gaza.
    That official is Stacy Gilbert, a 20-year State Department employee who was a civil military advisor in the Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration. In February, a national security memo directive tasked the State and Defense departments with writing a report assessing whether Israel was complying with the Geneva Conventions, and whether Israel was thwarting the flow of humanitarian assistance. Working with other experts, Gilbert was tasked with answering the latter question…
    ..The Foreign Assistance Act prohibits aid to countries that thwart the flow of US humanitarian aid. Gilbert says she and other experts formed a clear consensus that Israel had blocked aid “in many ways,” and that they began crafting a report with that conclusion.
    ​ However, with the report still in rough draft form, Gilbert said senior officials shut her and other subject matter experts out of the project, and proceeded to rewrite the report over the ensuing days before it was due to be filed with Congress.
    ​ Gilbert told PBS:
    ​ “When the report came out on May 10, and I read the conclusion…that Israel was not blocking humanitarian assistance, I decided I would resign, because that was absolutely not the opinion of subject matter experts in the State Department, USAID, the humanitarian community, organizations that are working in Gaza.”​ https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/white-house-lied-congress-about-israel-gaza-official-resigning-protest

    ​ Scott Ritter: Georgian ‘Foreign Agents’ Law Exposes Western Influence and Protects Sovereignty
    ​ Georgia’s “foreign agents bill,” which designates non-governmental organizations (NGOs) receiving more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad as “pursuing the interests of a foreign power,” became law on May 28. The US immediately announced sanctions against Georgian politicians backing the legislation, while the EU threatened to freeze the country’s candidate status.
    ​ One might wonder as to why the law, which resembles the US’ Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), has been received with such animosity in the West. The crux of the matter is that the legislation is aimed at exposing the West’s deep disrespect of Georgia’s sovereignty, according to former US Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter.​ https://sputnikglobe.com/20240531/scott-ritter-georgian-foreign-agents-law-exposes-western-influence-and-protects-sovereignty-1118716695.html

    ​ Where Are The Largest Oil Reserves?
    ​ Russia has reportedly discovered colossal oil reserves in the British territory of Antarctica. According to documents presented to the UK House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee in early May, the discovery was made by Russian research vessels in the Weddell Sea, part of the Antarctic territory claimed by the UK. The reserves discovered are estimated to contain some 511 billion barrels of oil, around 10 times the production of the North Sea over the last 50 years.
    ​ However, as Statista’s Anna Fleck reports, the exploitation of hydrocarbons in Antarctica is strictly prohibited. Since the signing of the Antarctic Treaty in 1959 (which came into force in 1961), the continent has been reserved for peaceful activities only, and may become “neither the scene nor the object of international disputes”…
    ..Estimated at 511 billion barrels, the area would rank as the second largest crude oil reserve by region in the world, behind only that of the Middle East, whose proven reserves stood at over 871 billion barrels in 2022. This also represents almost double the known reserves of Saudi Arabia, the country with the second-largest proven oil reserves in the world (behind Venezuela, whose reserves are dense and more difficult to process, and therefore less profitable).​ https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/where-are-largest-oil-reserves

    ​ Elevated Risk Of Epilepsy, Appendicitis In Children After COVID-19 Vaccination: Study
    Children who received the AstraZeneca or Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines faced an elevated risk of epilepsy and appendicitis, according to a new study.
    ​ Dr. Julia Hippisley-Cox, a professor of clinical epidemiology at the University of Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Primary Health Care Sciences, and colleagues obtained data from a national database on COVID-19 vaccination, mortality, hospital admissions, and COVID-19 infections. They wanted to look at the link between COVID-19 vaccines from AstraZeneca, Pfizer, and Moderna with 12 outcomes, including the heart inflammation condition called myocarditis.
    ​ The population of nearly 5.2 million included 1.8 million children aged 5 to 11 and 3.3 million children aged 12 to 17.
    The data examined were through Aug. 7, 2022.
    ​ In the primary analysis, researchers found 12- to 17-year-olds who received Pfizer’s vaccine were at increased risk of myocarditis, with an additional three cases per million versus the expected rate after a first dose, and an additional five cases per million after a second dose, and hospitalization with epilepsy, with an additional 12 cases per million after a second dose. Females in the age group also faced an increased risk of demyelinating disease after receiving a second dose of the vaccine.
    ​ Researchers also identified a “substantially increased risk of hospitalization with epilepsy” among females after receipt of a first dose of AstraZeneca’s shot, with 813 more hospitalizations with epilepsy than expected per million doses, and an elevated risk of appendicitis after a second dose of the vaccine, with 512 excess events per million doses.
    ​ While no excess events were found among Moderna recipients, the study lacked the power to detect statistically significant issues, due to few children in the UK receiving Moderna’s vaccine.​ https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/elevated-risk-epilepsy-appendicitis-children-after-covid-19-vaccination-study

    ​ Th​e ​white haze seems to have ramped up a lot over the past 12 to 18 months around Austin, where I see the sky regularly.​ Bill Gates Wants to Block-Off the Sun​ ​ The prestigious Forbes ‘millionaire’s magazine’ reports that billionaire Gates’s intervention involves financing Harvard University scientists to establish what is being called​ ‘The Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment’ (SCoPEx) to examine if a sun dimming solution might be achieved by spaying calcium carbonate (CaCo3) dust into the atmosphere.
    ​ Forbes simply takes for granted this form of geophysical climate tampering to be a reality of life.​..

    @Aspnaz: Is the Hindu political-crime-machine big enough to replace or take the handoff from the current governing global crime machine?
    It has aspirations and it has foot soldiers, and it has networks in the “west”.
    Bindu and shoulder-holster guys…

    If you say so, but I have not seen any evidence of a significant Hindu crime machine in western politics. If you have some evidence, I would be interested to see it.

    Saudi Arabia Won’t Attend ‘Ukraine Conference’ as Russia is Not Invited

    The “peace conference” is joke

    Any sane human can Grok that.

    Only the insane ‘Tard-Turds®‘ buy into it.

    Reminds me of Adam Schiffty selling his booty on the strip

    There is a prima fascia reason for not taxing garage sales and the average person selling a few items on Craigslist: most of the time, people are selling used stuff that they themselves bought, and it is being resold for less than the original price paid. There is no profit.

    Of course, with AI helpers, all transactions could be tracked and the AI could helpfully compute the depreciation on that $150 item resold for $35…and — just maybe — the AI could track the time the seller put into selling the item and determine whether or not the “profit” even recovers the time spent to sell it computed at minimum wage, etc. But is that the world we want to live in? Where everything we do it tracked and quantified by AI? Where we are hamsters in an AI cage?

    The local Whites are welcome and apparently content to be nurses, pharmacists, physician assistants, medical assistants and nurse practitioners. Who convinced my ppl they weren’t as smart and talented as the New Dehli mafia?

    I agree the Hindu-Machine keep a low profile in the US, but they are getting established, and have extensive business connections and “community” wealth. They are clearly visible and dominant in India and environs.
