    “Spain Set To Legalize Half A Million Illegal Immigrants

    But the Spanish are Spanish! That means they can’t be racist, unlike every other country in Europe, including the Irish. Oh HIS-Panic? Tell me the difference, to Americans.

    Racism: Ugh.

    “Union Makes Shock Claim: Colorado Meat Factory Involved In “Mgmt-Led Human Trafficking” Of Haitians

    I had not thought of that, but it’s about time then. It’s in their wheelhouse. They’re exactly the people that should be all over this, and have the power. I’ve never seen a Union not sell out their members, but there’s always time for the cycle to turn.

    The 5th time this week:
    “NYC Mayor Eric Adams Hit With Historic Federal Indictment

    The BIDEN FBI? The GARLAND DoJ? What corruption have they ever not approved?

    “Musk Was Right… OpenAI Shuts-Down Non-Profit Control, CTO Exits
    “Altman assured Musk that the non-profit structure guaranteed neutrality and a focus on safety… But as it turns out, this was all hot-air philanthropy – the hook for Altman’s long con.”

    You see it’s not the STRUCTURE, it’s the intent. Most Non-Profits are run as CEO-enriching cons, so far as I can tell. However, I hear there are soup kitchens who are not. And for example, corporations – called plantations – can run human slavery as part of their culture. …Or not. A steel company can destroy all the workers…or build a library in every town. Both are legal. It’s the outer goals, or society, “what we do” what is acceptable or expected.

    Right now of course, they TALK a good game, then destroy society with every dollar. At former times they barely talked a good game…but then gave fair wages and every family bought a home, making themselves rich and safe.

    This is also why “The Government” is helpless. They can’t “Pass laws” to make or change the internal moral and religious state of the people. Or they CAN, but that leads to social engineering and Socialism, which works on the first 2/3, but then they have to murder 100 million of the remainers. Clingers.

    Government is not a “social engineering” institution; it leads to disaster. It’s supposed to be the response and outcome of the PEOPLE’s morality and intent, their will and outcome, not running the machine in reverse where government directs the People. Newsflash: don’t run machines in reverse? Don’t live in #OppositeLand? Do you know the front-end from the -ss end?

    “Leaks Show Russia Has Secret Project To Develop Advanced Drones In China: Report

    You mean “They buy stuff from China”? Same as we do? The horror.

    “”Sounds Like Corruption”: FCC Fast-Tracks “Soros Shortcut” Purchase Of 200+ Radio Stations

    Good. Can we reverse Clinton’s “Media Monopoly” law now? We went from thousands to 6. That’s Capitalism! When there’s no competition!

    Whistleblower Allen: Stop overclassification. This is how each crime you don’t enforce leads to the next. So? UN-do. Start with the largest, or start with the smallest, and make the crime bubble smaller. Push until it’s as small as we can manage, for “Crime will always be with us.”

    “McGovern said the Pentagon had about eight hours to digest Putin’s warning on September 12”

    No comment on them blowing up the side of a mountain near a secret bunker around that time. Just as well, and not to go there, or worry about proving it.

    ““..it appears that the US is prepared to enter the war on Israel’s side.”

    That’s the #Opposite of what we just read. Where they said “If you had anything to do with the conflict, you’re on your own.” They’re crowing 40,000 troops “in the area”. Yeah, well the area is like 1,000 miles square and we have 100 bases each with 400 sitting ducks, surrounded by Zulus with machine guns. The others are all on ships which are the world’s biggest floating targets, having no purpose and no defense.

    “• Putin Orders Changes To Russia’s Nuclear Doctrine (RT)

    This is an actual Russian red line, not one we made up in our fevered heads. Note all the little-girl- like squealing; that’s how you know it’s real. Ohh! You’re hurting me with words and rules! Ow! Ow!

    “• US Republicans Accuse Zelensky Of Campaigning For Harris (RT)

    I was wondering. They were like “Election interference”, how??? How, because we gave them $150B to do it with, that’s how. Oh, well…I guess. Anyway, this is the greatest election interference ever, as no one in America cares about Ukraine or what happens to them, every time they trot out Ze they make 2 more Trump voters. Yeah, we’re eating dogs and cats, so we’re a little busy here. And Trump is merely re-running Kamala interviews as his election material.

    “Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in the US on September 22 to present his “victory plan” to US President Joe Biden”

    On the 22’s. But it seems whoever was running that numerology is no longer in control. –Nor either side, it seems. Whole thing’s gotten too complicated to track.

    ““We are against antisemitism in the same way that we are against the targeting of Muslims simply because of their beliefs..”

    Do either of these things even happen? Or are people just careless thinkers and are against people for acting like a dick? We get that mostly here: “You’re against all these Black People at WalMart.” No, they are against and rude to ALL the people at WalMart, you just happen to be Black. They’re anti-people, “I Hate everyone”, It’s printed right there on their Tshirt, that’s the least racist position possible.

    Erdogon: Hey wasn’t Turkey fighting FOR Hitler back then? Barsoom has a long difficult article on that this week, as we transform complex and nuanced real history into myth, and therefore religion, that therefore we live by and are slaves to. How does it work? Cartoon it all by banning speech and discussion, then it happens automatically…as the Social Engineers know.

    “Trump promised a “manufacturing renaissance”,

    This is what all the Brits and pundits were making fun of, posted last week: “Why would American workers want that?? It raises their prices at WalMart.” Yeah, that’s exactly what we said when they put it in starting with Pappa Bush: Don’t. “But it’ll lower prices!” Yeah, and unemploy and kill everyone coast to coast. Don’t. Then we told them every day of every year and at every election since 1992. It’s not worth it. Aaaaaaand the Federal-printed, funded, PMC professors and economists laughed and mocked us every day since then. …For dying by thousands. Just like we said. Ha ha. It’s so funny when poor workers die! They’re so Deplorable. UnterMensch, the Untouchables. But now I can afford Juanita to clean my house for $5/hr! What’s wrong with that? That’s Socialism and we’re all good Communists fighting the eternal revolution, write all these papers on it, put it in our bio’s when we kill every Proletariat worker we can find in service to our corporate paymasters donating to the Department of Economics here.

    Because they’re the #Opposite, it does make it hard to talk about. It makes it hard when everyone’s a liar, and everything said is a lie.

    “• Another Man Is Charged for Threatening to Kill President Trump (PJM)

    Also a man from Ukraine the FBI, Blackrock and MSNBC knew all about? So he’s going to kill Trump to right the JFK assassination?

    ““he would not attempt to kill former President Trump” but was determined not to allow him to return to the Oval Office.”

    By killing him. We’re not evil. You just need to do what we say or we’ll kill you. This is a common, almost universal approach, used for everything from Jeffry Dahmer to Chuckie at Baptist Day care. Maybe don’t do that? Violence isn’t really hitting. It’s the crushing and overruling of another’s free will. Of voluntary exchange. That’s why arm-bending for date rape is wrong even though she didn’t say no and we can’t prosecute it accurately, but the crime itself is the will, the extortion and expression of power. …Or rather that power used to crush THEIR power.

    “The cryptocurrency industry is “rife with fraud and hucksters and grifters”, one of the United States’ top financial regulators has told the BBC.”

    That’s totally true and fraud is illegal since before we wrote laws down. Gensler is one of the top fraudsters. Hey, where’d FTX go? Whoops! Right down the memory hole, although he’s now the same prison wing as Bank-fraud with Diddy in Riker’s. Where’d the Assassination go? Where’d Sri Lanka go? Poof! Magic of TV, next show is on.

    Meanwhile, NOT in the article, Tether is almost certainly a fraud taken over by the U.S. government, which is laundering or buying US Treasuries. You wondered who was buying? Our complete s—t? They ran out of off-shore hidden back-channel banks, UK was the major buyer but is broke, so hello Tether. Yup, how anti-establishment, pro-freedom can you get more than straight-buying US Treasuries to help them rig and control markets? Freeeeeeeeedom!!!!!

    “the United States government’s purpose in prosecuting Mr Assange was to hide the wrongdoing of state agents rather than to protect national security.’ …

    They did neither: #Winning! We heard about that war crime every day in relation to his case, and the collapse of confidence in our principles and moral standing has led to everyone turning on us. Was it worth it? Well, if your plan is to collapse the United States – and it is – then yes, it’s worked perfectly.

    Diet: Not only did they, they never even try. No recommendations for yoga, diet, lifestyle. They would work in a pleasant minority of cases, and have no side effects. Remember, the placebo effect can be 20% and is higher than many drugs. Why don’t they? How dare they??? I’ve already said: like ZERO patients will actually do and act on them, even said by a doctor. So there’s the seen and the unseen, the speaker and the listener. “Gimme a pill, Doc.” (I want to keep drinking.)

    Yes, it should be done, do these reforms, etc, but you are a participant, not a victim.

    I wish I had the article from months ago on “no lading Navy ships at sea” which was specifically about re-loading (anti air) missiles. They may have said it or I may have over-read it. I should know better and it makes more sense we’d still have some, or even a lot. Concede, and updated my notion. It doesn’t hurt at all, I’m trying to be better an accurate as I hope we all are.

    years ago when my grandaughter was in high school i pointed out that WELL proportioned women in spandex pants pretending to be cheerleaders is not Hatha Yoga or any other type of yoga.
    that went over like the dirigible the band that recorded Whole Lotta Love was named after

    as an aside for those with a short memory, when the Russian Federation came to the aid of Syria missles were fired from the Caspian Sea into the Middle East, accurately.
    and for those with an even shorter memory, please recall when a Chinese defense minister when asked about the threat of US naval battle groups responded – “threats? They are targets”

    still i’m amazed at the number of those in my generation who just noticed the SHTF and think the rest of the world is going to continue to kiss our ass while we wait in blue sweats at a franchise burger joint for whatever and then
    Bitch, Bitch, Bitch and Whine, Whine, Whine and opine They, They, They
    it’s all they got cause We left their minds Long Long Ago

    considering slapping the next stupid bastard that say’s “Evil Putin” and see if there is an escalation

    If you are not worried by “Helene”, then the following might be of interest.

    ————-
    Zelensky – The path is up,

    Zelenskyy’s meeting – Change in the restrictions on the use of weapons requires “booths on the ground”

    Zelensky – his purported roadmap, (peace plan), to resolve the conflict, long-dismissed by Moscow as unrealistic, is now re-branded as a ‘victory plan’.
    A “wish list” rather than an action plan.
    Escalating the conflict would force Moscow into agreeing to peace on Kiev’s terms.
    Zelensky is openly campaigning for Democrats in battleground Pennsylvania, clearly election interference.
    Zelensky claimed Trump “doesn’t really know how to stop the war,” while he described Vance as “too radical” and his outline of a ceasefire proposal as “an awful idea.”
    Zelensky has insisted that peace is only possible if Ukraine recovers all the territories it has claimed, including Crimea and four regions that have voted to join Russia.
    ———–
    the merchants of death

    “Between these different [arms] shipments… this adds up to about a billion dollars,” said Hammond of recent US guarantees to Taiwanese authorities.
    “What could they be doing with that billion dollars to house people who are living in tents and cardboard boxes on the streets of our cities?
    What could they do with that billion dollars to improve health care in this country?
    What could they do with a billion dollars to help out kids in our schools so they get a better education?”

    “Stuff that’s laying around in military warehouses – obsolete equipment – they’re going to ship that off to Taiwan as part of the ongoing efforts to poke China in the eye, provoke situations there, create a lot of public consciousness of tension and conflict and fear about the situation between the United States and China.”
    “They’re basically giving away these weapons to Taiwan, and then they’re going to turn around and buy new ones to replace those,” he explained. “So that, too, is a giveaway to the defense industry, the so-called defense industry – the war industry, really.

    Anecdotal data point on jobs

    Got a job offer, accepted. THEN they wanted a background check – okay. Various other things.

    Then, at the VERY END – we want to make sure you are vaccinated – what type of vaccinations? Oh, not covid, just other stuff. Flu, for instance.

    I asked them to send me the documentation, said it shouldn’t be a problem – I will have time to review.

    Scratching my head – did they WANT to require Covid shots but the legal dept said it could cause trouble, so they said, well then what shots CAN we require? The Flu shot is almost useless. A JOB requirement, really??? Is this just to catch any “hesitant” people, sort of a purity test?

    After jumping through all these hoops, the very LAST thing is a pass-fail thing they never listed in their job description, during the interview, or anything. They blithely wasted hours of MY time but also used up time and trouble of my references.

    I’ve got an interview with another employer today that I got without any use of “pull.” I was feeling super guilty “how can I back out NOW after I signed the job acceptance document? They’ve been working hard to fill slots for their upcoming training class…”

    Until I reflected they left this to the very end. Fuckers. I’m going to move forward with this other thing and drop them at the last second if it works out.

    Diet.
    You can cover yourself only with the blanket that you have.
    Local Trader Joe’s feature a display, sometimes over the top, of “yoga pants” and the guys who arrive freshly pumped-up straight from the gym – all purchasing pricey healthy store offerings.
    On the other hand, Stater Bros, feature folks in work overalls, among other shoppers, who purchase “bagged snacks” and sodas before heading to work.
    I visit the both stores in one shopping swoop so the contrast is more glaring.

    Dancing With Murderers https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/dancing-with-murderers

    Simplicius, PR Tour Sours as Ukraine’s Lackluster ‘Victory Plan’ Met with Doubts
    Israel continues to pummel Lebanon, proving itself to be the only country in the world that can literally bomb and invade all of its neighbors at will without serious international consequences.
    killing
    ..Iran (is) not … keen to shift its weight entirely to the Israeli situation, which plays again into the ‘long game’ I mentioned.
    However, that’s not to say Iran has “abandoned Russia” or back-stabbed it. Most likely these are just signals Iran is sending to convey that it is ready to ease tensions with the US. One gets the feeling that the US and Iran have a mutual understanding behind Israel’s back that Israel wants to pull them both into an undesirable war against each other.
    For instance, Shoigu just left Iran recently, where he met with the president himself and signed a major deal. The latest is likely Iran’s need to appear ‘consistent’ in its call for peace—after all, one cannot with a straight face call for peace in Palestine-Lebanon while ostensibly supporting the Ukraine war…
    ..Reuters now reports that Iran has brokered secret talks between Russia and the Houthis, to transfer anti-ship missiles, which allegedly could include the P-800, or Yakhont export version… This of course would be a nightmare for the US…
    ..Israel has threatened that if the current track does not return fleeing Israelis back to the north, then a ground operation in Lebanon will be considered. This confirms what we wrote last time: that the surface-level justification behind the ongoing strikes is to keep Israel’s economy from collapsing due to the uprooting of workers from the agriculturally-important northern regions.
    By the way, while sending troops to the region, the aging US fleet highlighted a major problem when its only Navy oiler in the region was knocked out of commission…
    ..On the Ukraine front, Zelensky has begun his grand tour by speaking at the UN and presenting his long-awaited [war is] peace plan. Unfortunately, it fell on dubious ears as allies emerged quite skeptical and underwhelmed… It didn’t help that his messaging was totally confused, with Zelensky repeatedly calling for more “war” in order to create “peace”, as per usual NATO doublespeak.
    His grand “peace plan” was described by allies as merely a “wishlist”, with nothing ground-breaking presented. That’s not to mention the wishes themselves are all unrealistic. Increasingly, Zelensky appears convinced the end is near for him. Almost everything out of his mouth has switched gears to the war coming to an end…
    ..The front is going catastrophically, with major Russian advances continuing day by day. Ugledar is now close to falling and the latest ‘rumor’ is that Zelensky has instructed his commanders to postpone its capture by Russians at any cost at least until the end of the UN dog-and-pony show. Zelensky merely requires that he not be ‘humiliated’ with the fall of such a key city during his big public PR tour, as it would lend itself toward deflating any last remaining hopes for the AFU’s prospects.
    Unfortunately, that postponement is costing lives…
    ..Zelensky was hoping to create a kind of peer pressure campaign to merely browbeat Russia into acceding to talks. But both Lavrov and Peskov again released new statements reaffirming that Russia has nothing to talk about with Ukraine, and that all Russia’s goals will be achieved in the SMO. Whether Ukraine surrenders and accedes to Russia’s demands, or whether Russia takes those demands by continued military force, either way the objectives will be met. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/sitrep-92424-pr-tour-sours-as-ukraines

    ​ MK Bhadrakumar, Zelensky’s Victory Plan is his survival kit
    ​..President Trump was unwilling or unable to stand up to the CIA, but as Biden entered the Oval Office, the floodgates were opened. Times said,
    ​ “The head of Russia House, the C.I.A. department overseeing operations against Russia, organised a secret meeting at The Hague. There, representatives from the C.I.A., Britain’s MI6, the HUR, the Dutch service (a critical intelligence ally) and other agencies agreed to start pooling together more of their intelligence on Russia. The result was a secret coalition against Russia — and the Ukrainians were vital members of it.”
    ​ This also predates Russia’s special military operations in Ukraine, testifying to Biden’s maniacal obsession to destabilise Russia as an independent world power any whichever way.
    ​ The US’ proxy war in Ukraine is, in reality, spearheaded by the CIA, while the Pentagon and the State Department play subaltern roles. It is for future historians to investigate the raison d’être of Biden’s curious, unconventional choice of William Burns, supposedly a career diplomat, as his hand-picked head of the CIA in 2020.
    ​ Burns is an unusual ‘specialist’ on Russia who had a role in the CIA’s war in Chechnya in the early 1990s soon after the collapse of the Soviet Union when he was first posted in the Moscow embassy. (Burns later returned as envoy to Moscow.)
    ​ Suffice to say, Biden knew precisely what he wanted to get done and he picked the one man whom he could rely on to keep the CIA on leash, au fait with the world of cloak-and-dagger operatives and also a ‘Russia hand’.​..
    ​..Former UK prime minister Boris Johnson recently gave a preview of the ‘victory plan’ in an article in The Spectator after his most recent visit to Kiev to meet his close friend Zelensky one-on-one.
    ​ Johnson wrote that Zelensky will propose “a three-fold plan for Ukrainian victory”, the key elements being that the US should​ “allow the Ukrainians the right to use the weapons they already possess”;​ “produce a package of loans [for Kiev] on the scale of Lend-Lease: half a trillion dollars… or even a trillion”; and,​ admit Ukraine forthwith into NATO so that the alliance “could protect most of Ukraine, while simultaneously supporting the Ukrainian right to recapture the rest.”
    ​ Johnson underscored that extending NATO’S Article 5 security guarantee “to all the Ukrainian territory currently controlled by Ukraine (or at the end of this fighting season), while reaffirming the absolute right of the Ukrainians to the whole of their 1991 nation” will be the “single biggest step​.”​…
    ​..Zelensky has since confirmed the three key elements that Johnson wrote about.​..
    ..Western strategy against Russia, as in Vietnam War, is built on quicksands. The point is, Zelensky himself is a dead man walking and must be conscious of it…
    ​..Zelensky knows that he is a marked man being the genius of the Kursk offensive, and vultures are circling in the skies. Indeed, some of Ukraine’s top army commanders, including the former armed forces commander Gen. Valery Zaluzhny, now ambassador to London, had voiced scepticism when Zelensky first broached the Kursk offensive.​.. Zaluzhny’s objection was that “there was no clear second step after the [Russian] border had been successfully breached by elite Ukrainian units drawn from four brigades. “He never got a clear answer from Zelenskyy,” said one of the officials. “He felt it was a gamble,” he said. Zaluzhny queried: once you have the bridgehead, what then?” ​ https://www.indianpunchline.com/zelenskys-victory-plan-is-his-survival-kit/

    ​ Netanyahu Vows Attacks On Lebanon Won’t Stop As Hezbollah Escalates With Deepest Strike Inside Israel
    ​ Sky News and others are reporting that for the first time of the conflict, Hezbollah has launched a drone attack on a navy base which lies south of Haifa. The Atlit navy base which was targeted lies 80 kilometers from the Lebanese border. This is an attack significantly deep into Israel and reveals an extended range of Hezbollah missiles. Likely as things slide further, and with Israel keeping up its intense airstrikes on Lebanon, Hezbollah missiles will begin reaching further and further.​ https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/white-house-urges-all-americans-flee-lebanon-3rd-israeli-strike-rocks-beirut

    ​ Resistance News​. The Exhilaration of First Strikes: In Lebanon, Israel Repeats the Mistakes of 2006
    ​ For several weeks now, Netanyahu and numerous political and military leaders have recognized that the war in Gaza has reached a stalemate. There was no possibility of recovering prisoners or effectively eliminating Hamas. Consequently, they added the issue of the north to their list of objectives. There was no longer any operational chance of recovering prisoners or effectively eliminating Hamas. It became necessary to revise the “list of objectives” by introducing the northern front into the equation. ​ Netanyahu chose a moment when no opposition could emerge, either within the government or beyond. Even those who opposed his policy regarding Gaza accused him of weakness in the face of Hezbollah, which facilitated his double maneuver: silencing the debate on Gaza and justifying the continuation of the war with the objective of repatriating settlers.
    ​ For the record, Netanyahu wasn’t attempting to evade an agreement regarding Gaza; rather, he aimed to divert attention from his broader project in the region (we will soon revisit the details of the plans Israel is developing in cooperation with Arab states and Western actors for a lasting occupation of the Gaza Strip, particularly in the area extending from the south of Netzarim to the north). Today, however, he acts as if he possesses sufficient domestic legitimacy to wage war against Lebanon, benefiting from American support and the semi-public backing of his Arab allies, who reproach Israel for its past failures to eliminate Hezbollah.
    ​ When Netanyahu decided to alter the rules of engagement in the north, he brought nothing new to the table.

    Israel’s exploding pager/walkie-talkie attacks, followed by air strikes on a Hezbollah command post and then broadly across Lebanon are a gambit to try to get Lebanon to respond in a manner that would get the US to come in more formally on Israel’s side as the Axis of Resistance is inflicting costs on Israel over its Gaza genocide…
    ..This tech-bombing was even worse than you imagined. The military wing of Hezbollah does not use pager or walkie talkies. They’ve used their own fiber optic network since 2006, and otherwise rely on couriers. These devices were in the hands of civilian Hezbollah workers, such as members of its large social services effort. Yes, military members may have been hurt too, but that was dumb luck, like being in proximity to blown-up pager-user or picking up a ringing device on behalf of someone else.
    ​ Needless to say, this also means that the device attacks were pure terrorism, with no remotely colorable military purpose whatsoever. Remember, the press has brayed that Israel has been working on this caper for 15 years. But Hezbollah moved its military comms to fiber optic before that. And Israel surely knew that. So that means this entire enterprise was from its outset a terrorist scheme and never a military operation​…
    ..If Israel’s efforts to subdue the Axis of Resistance fall short, which seems likely, the campaign to get the US committed to the conflict will only intensify. Mind you, in reality, it’s not as if we could do all that much even if we wanted to, ex possibly commit more air power. As Associated Press pointed out yesterday, the US has only 40,000 men in the entire theater. They presumably already have things to do. It takes 6+ months to move more men and the needed logistical support in were we to deploy more than say some Special Forces types. And the US is low on materiel world-wide, thanks to having drained our stockpiles to back Ukraine. For instance, one thing the US is short on globally is Patriot air defense missiles, and at least as of now, we are prioritizing Ukraine…
    ..Yours truly in now finding it necessary to listen to Alastair Crooke’s Monday morning talks on Judge Napolitano to sanity check Israeli claims…
    ..The claim was that Israel had sent in 100 planes and destroyed Hezbollah rocket launchers right before a planned Hezbollah attack, defanging it…
    ​..This is what Crooke reported:
    ​..”But contrary to what the Israeli propagandists at the IDF are saying, and I know this not from Hezbollah but I know this from inside Lebanon, people who are on the ground there, it was chaotic twenty minutes. Israel just bombed various valleys where they imagined the ballistic missiles were. But they’d been cleared out of there some time ago. There were no ballistic missiles. You can check that, there are people on the ground who know what’s happened. There are no missiles. So when they said they destroyed thousands of missile launchers, this is a complete lie. Because first of all, there are no missiles, no ballistic missiles, no large missiles south of the Litani River. What you have is drones and small rockets. And none of these have launchers. And they destroyed none of them. It was just a show, a show of force and it only lasted about twenty minutes…
    ..However, it finally came out that Hezbollah was successful in striking a building in the military airport near Tel Avis that housed Unit 8200, which is akin to our NSA. Hezbollah believed Unit 8200 planned the killing of Fuad Shukr. “Successful” as in some Unit 8200 members died​”…
    ​..YS: So again in a close parallel to Ukraine, the real reason for this attack appears to be to try to break the will of the long-suffering Lebanese people and turn them against Hezbollah, just as some collective Ukraine officials fantasize that if they cause enough pain to Russian civilians, they will turn on Putin. At least so far, Lebanese citizens instead appear to be pulling together. Journalist Laith Marouf, now in Beirut, told Rachel Blevins that thousands of citizens came to hospitals offering to donate one of their eyes to a victim of the cyber attack (starting at 9:20). Even though that’s beyond current medical technology, it’s an indication of the depth of public support. Marouf also contends that the Lebanese know what they are up against, that wars of decolonization take years.
    ​ A second leg of the attack, coming shortly after the device carnage, was an assassination attempt via precision air strike in Beirut against Hezbollah paramilitary leader Ali Karaki, reportedly one of the top three on Israel’s kill list. The press cheered his death. That turns out to have been premature. From Military Watch:
    ​ A senior commander for the Lebanese paramilitary group Hezbollah, Ali Karaki, has survived an Israeli assassination attempt, after a precision strike on a military headquarters in the capital Beirut was launched to eliminate him…
    ​..Now to the next Israel move, widespread air strikes that extended into Syria. The claim was that they were targeting rocket launchers, So far, they have killed nearly 500. But as for the rockets, we again turn to Alastair Crooke, here on Judge Napolitano.
    “But for the moment, they have bet on escalation dominance, “escalating to de-escalate,” first the pagers, then the assassination on its heels, and then they’re banking on intelligence and firepower to push Hezbollah into an agreement. But first of all, there was no agreement. Amos Hochstein was in Lebanon but he was acting more for the Israelis and for the Americans, but it was a complete failure, the attempt for some sort of diplomatic route. I mean there isn’t one.​.. So this is really what they are betting on is they can either push Hezbollah in. And to this extent, we’re seeing this massive air attacks taking place in the south and in the Bekka, that you just spoke about. But really what we’re talking about is ineffectiveness of air firepower in these circumstances, when put against deep, deep buried rockets and missiles.​..
    ​..They are heavily bombing the area, and although it’s being presented as being by intelligence as if they’re knocking out rocket launchers, that too is pretty much bunk. Because they too basically try and find launchers by combing the forest, because this is mountain area, forest area. Very difficult terrain. Deep valleys, little nooks and crannies. So they film all of this, looking for movements, and then they use artificial intelligence detection methodology to try to find where someone has moved. It’s not done by spies or intelligence per se. It is done by using AI, again, to spot some sort of movement. And Hezbollah for years, since 2006, have been adept at putting up ghosts and fake missile launchers, fake men, moving them around, fooling the Israelis who are basically bombing every spot in the forest, hills and valleys where it thinks possibly going to be a rocket launcher.​”…
    ..Crooke turned to the Hezbollah response, which is to increase the range of territory in Israel that they consider to be fair game for attack. At 14:20:
    ​ “Hezbollah has escalated too, just to be clear. Because one of the things they are facing again is ​Israel has put another big blackout notice on everything, no filming, no photos, no reporting at all from anywhere north of Haifa, which is in the center, right on the coast of Israel. No news is allowed to be presented. But you do get some because there are Israelis in the settlements that are sending videos. The point here is there is major destruction in Haifa, a major port. Hezbollah’s reported an attack on an airbase, there are attacks going on, there are rocket continuing. So with all this bombing, all this so-called carpet bombing, it’s actually quite ineffective. It’s not stopping Hezbollah.”​…
    ​..Dmitry Liscaris claims in this interview (at 15:13) that Hezbollah attacks took out one of Israel’s three airbases, the Ramat David airbase in the Golan Heights, and a major arms making plant, Rafael Military Industries complex, which makes air defense equipment, as well as hitting targets near Tel Aviv. He also said waves of drones were coming from Iraq.​ https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2024/09/fog-of-disinformation-in-escalating-israel-lebanon-conflict.html

    ​ Zelensky’s Plan is About Dragging NATO Directly Into War With Russia – US Military Veteran
    ​ “[Volodymyr Zelensky] wants to get people to support his ‘victory plan’, which really is not a victory plan,” Earl Rasmussen, a retired US Army lieutenant colonel and international consultant, tells Sputnik, commenting on Zelensky’s trip to the US.
    ​ The Ukrainian politician is pushing ahead with the idea of striking deep inside Russia with NATO long-range missiles, something that Western leaders have so far had cold feet about.​ “Let’s face it, when he goes deep into Russia, those weapons systems basically need intelligence from the United States – NATO and specifically the US,” Rasmussen says. “The intelligence information provided, the targeting, the programing, all is not done by Ukrainians. So basically the West becomes a full participant in the conflict then, which would basically then open up the avenue for escalation.”​…
    ​..Rasmussen notes that neocons have been rolling out their Ukraine strategy for quite a while, seeking to install a military base in Crimea, maintaining secret bio-labs in Ukraine, and undermining any peace effort Russia has pursued over the past decade.
    ​ What’s more, the proposal is absolutely unrealistic, being a one-sided attempt to coerce Russia into surrendering under Ukraine and the West’s conditions, the pundit continues.​ “They’re basically trying to dictate to Russia the terms of whatever agreement there is. And that’s unrealistic. It’s a non-nonstarter. It’s not real negotiations. It’s not a proposal for real peace. It just stretches the conflict on,” he concludes. https://sputnikglobe.com/20240925/zelenskys-plan-is-about-dragging-nato-directly-into-war-with-russia–us-military-veteran-1120288359.html

    Ukraine’s backers want talks with Putin – Bloomberg
    ​ At least one Western nation backing Ukraine is calling for diplomatic engagement with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday, citing multiple sources. According to the outlet, some officials are skeptical of Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky’s ‘victory plan’ to end the conflict.
    ​ The possible talks with Moscow could happen before the G20 leaders’ meeting in Brazil in mid-November, and would be conducted either by Zelensky or other parties, the report said.
    ​ Zelensky is currently visiting the US, where he is pitching his purported roadmap to resolve the conflict, long-dismissed by Moscow as unrealistic, now re-branded as a ‘victory plan.’ …​ Kiev has ruled out negotiations with Russia and has rejected any possibility of compromise. Ukrainian officials have suggested that by escalating the conflict, they could force Moscow into agreeing peace on Kiev’s terms. Andrey Yermak, Zelensky’s powerful chief of staff, reiterated a call to Western backers on Monday not to be concerned about possible blowback from the strategy.
    ​ Among other things, the Ukrainian government wants permission to use donated Western weapons to strike targets deep inside Russia. Putin has warned that Moscow will view any such step as a direct act of war by NATO and will respond accordingly.
    ​ Ukraine also wants NATO-type security guarantees and a shorter accession path into the US-led military bloc, as well as long-term financial support that future administrations in Washington would not be able to revoke, according to reports.​ https://swentr.site/news/604632-zelensky-wish-list-bloomberg/

Assange will give evidence before the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).​..

He will travel to France because of “the exceptional nature of the invitation and to embrace the support received from PACE and its delegates over the past years”​. While he was in prison PACE advocated “repeatedly” for his release, WikiLeaks said.​ The hearing at which he will speak will also consider the findings that Assange’s imprisonment was “politically motivated,” it said.​.. ..It urged the US, a Council of Europe observer state, to “urgently reform” the 1917 Espionage Act to exclude its application to publishers, journalists and whistleblowers who disclose classified information with the intent to raise public awareness about serious crimes.” https://consortiumnews.com/2024/09/24/assange-to-testify-at-council-of-europe/

    Diet: Not only did they, they never even try. No recommendations for yoga, diet, lifestyle. They would work in a pleasant minority of cases, and have no side effects. Remember, the placebo effect can be 20% and is higher than many drugs. Why don’t they? How dare they??? I’ve already said: like ZERO patients will actually do and act on them, even said by a doctor. So there’s the seen and the unseen, the speaker and the listener. “Gimme a pill, Doc.” (I want to keep drinking.)

    People will often do more than we ever expected. My spouse found out a few months ago that his blood pressure was rather high and kidney markers in his blood were elevated to a concerning level.. It freaked him out. I read Malcolm Kendrick’s The Clot Thickens, discussed it with him, and he did his own research. Within a week, he had radically changed his diet, started a first-line blood pressure medication, purchased supplements, and began researching a Chinese medicinal tea for the kidney issues. A month later he had a blood test to see where the kidney stuff was (we’re awaiting results,) and his blood pressure was well into the normal range. He discontinued the blood pressure medication nearly a week ago (this was the plan all along), experienced a few days of blood pressure in the upper range of normal, but already his blood pressure has equilibriated into the middle-normal range for his age — now without medication, only with diet and supplements.

    A little over a year ago my father was diagnosed with prostrate cancer, and was contemplating treatment options. I, my sister, and my mother were alarmed and began researching. We quickly determined that a change in diet might stave off any radical treatments (surgery, chemo, radiation.). My mother was willing to change her diet to align with a low-carb diet for my dad. 5 weeks later his levels were tested again, and although he does have prostate cancer (confirmed by biopsy), the indicators suggest that it is nearly dormant. The diet has been in place for over a year, and the levels are periodically checked to make sure that the dormancy remains so that more aggressive action can be taken if that changes.

    Often, people will stick to a diet when they see or feel measurable results — because humans like to have control over themselves.

    ​ Update on Alexis Lorenze, 23-Year-Old Severely Injured After Hospital Forced Her to Get 3 Vaccines
    “First of all, I don’t want this to be hidden from the world,” Alexis Lorenze, who is currently hospitalized in California with a severe reaction to multiple vaccines, told CHD.TV in an interview on Monday. “And second of all, I don’t want this to ever happen to anyone else ever again.”
    ​ For over a week, the 23-year-old has been suffering serious and possibly life-threatening side effects — including temporary blindness, swelling, bruising and sores over her entire body, and severe chest pain — after a hospital required her to receive three vaccines before giving her a blood transfusion to treat paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH).​..
    ..The Vaccine Safety Research Foundation sent an advocate, Angela Wulbrecht, a registered nurse, to help Alexis and her family negotiate the medical system…​ Wulbrecht said they are frustrated with some of the doctors who won’t concede that Alexis’ condition— which began 10 minutes post-vaccination — is a result of the vaccines, and instead blame her condition solely on the PNH.
    ​ It is frustrating, she said, because as Alexis’ story has circulated, doctors from “all over the world” have confirmed that “giving somebody who’s this immunocompromised, her condition was not stable at the time to do this to her was too much for her immune system.”
    ​ Several doctors told The Daily Mail that a patient with a serious autoimmune condition shouldn’t be given multiple vaccines at once, because it could lead to complications that a healthy person would not likely experience.
    ​ “It really hurts my heart,” Wulbrecht said, “because when you walk through this hospital everywhere, there are signs that say ‘discover, teach, and heal.’ That’s their motto. And they are not discovering, they’re not teaching.”​ She said they should be trying to figure out what happened.​ https://www.globalresearch.ca/alexis-lorenze-23-year-old-severely-injured-hospital-forced-3-vaccines/5868677

    May kill the M.Pox vaccinated AND “people they come in contact with”. BINGO!

    ​ FDA Approves Vaccine for Mpox — Warns It May Cause Death in Vaccinated and People They Come in Contact With
    ACAM2000, a vaccine approved last month by the FDA for mpox, comes with a list of “serious complications,” including myocarditis, death and fetal death. The FDA’s medication guide also warns that people who receive the vaccine may spread it to unvaccinated people, who also risk developing vaccine side effects, including death.​ https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/fda-acam2000-mpox-vaccine-warning-death-unvaccinated/

    @Phoenixvoice: Good on ya, Sister. Lycopene from tomato/sauce cooked gently with a bit of olive oil or butter is also good for the prostate. Many men die “with” prostate cancer, not of it…
    It tends to be indolent when it presents late in life, and aggressive when it presents young. Cut out sausage, BBQ, bacon and all nitrited-by-fire meats.
    Cabbages, kale, collards, Good.
    Alcohol Bad.

    re: Mandatory Flu Shots

    Even during the covid vaxx craze, the EEOC (.gov) said employers should merely encourage flu shots instead of requiring flu shots, for non-healthcare jobs.

    The HR department might be trying to get away with mandating shots to non-employees before official employment, a legal grey area?

    HR gets in the way of managers trying to fill positions. If you want the job, I say screw HR, try to start working while putting off getting the shots, then fight it if necessary once you’re a valuable employee.

    With all that said, mandatory vaccination policies are still largely controversial, particularly for employers not in the healthcare industry. Indeed, EEOC guidance recommends that, in general, “ADA-covered employers should consider simply encouraging employees to get the influenza vaccine rather than requiring them to take it.

    Similarly, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, an employee who objects to receiving a vaccine based on a sincerely held religious belief, practice, or observance also may be exempt from a mandatory vaccination requirement. It is important to note that courts have broadly interpreted “religion” in the context of required vaccination policies. For example, at least one federal court has concluded that veganism qualifies as a sincerely-held religious belief exempting a vegan employee from being required to receive a flu vaccine because receiving a vaccine, which was produced from chicken eggs, would be against the employee’s vegan beliefs.

    Upon receiving a request to be relieved of a vaccination requirement as an accommodation, whether due to disability or religious-related reasons, an employer must engage in an interactive process with the objecting employee to determine if it can provide the employee with a reasonable accommodation that does not pose an undue hardship for the employer.

    Host RIM missed this one on The Creeper.

    For once, I’ll entitle my post in order to promote Ds understanding.

    Title: “The Diddler and The Creeper”

    Subtitle: pedophiles run amok or the universe imploding along with China’s population or did D and DBS experience pituitary apoplexy at PCRs invocation of the verboten J-word

    First the Creeper’s essay. Its actually pretty good if you’re into pants-shittin’ nuke war pornography. However the technical expert extraordinaire UN Weapons of Mass Destruction Expert knows the fine distinction between the terms SSBN, SSN, Trident, Ohio class, submarine, ship, and boat. And no fair consulting DBS because THAT Sailor knows the he knows.

    I digress.

    Try not to panic:

    Life, Pre-empted. Scott Ritter

    Posted on Nobel laureate and Kuru God and pedophile Carleton Gadjusek the other day defended by the luminary likes of Robert Gallo et al

    Catch your breath. Tie one on.

    And P Diddy….da Diddler.
    Nickelodeon, Hollywood, VIPs galore, NBA ballers, and certain A-list politicians
    Parents surrendered over their children to be groomed by guys already known to be monsters. Their “system” dealt with these criminals exactly like the Holy See dealt with priest pedophiles, “cover up, promote and pass on”.

    Ritter-Creeper:

      If you’re not thinking about the end of the world by now, you’re either braindead or stuck in some remote corner of the world, totally removed from access to news.

    As D often intimates, is there nothing in between braindead OR isolated from the news as Rittler opines?

    Who can tell whether or not the following is true?

    Reversing Victim and Offender can be carried out on any scale…obviously.
    Racketeering, Corrupt Acts, Fraud.


      Former MI5 Agent Annie Machon says Israeli intelligence service Mossad bombed their own embassy in London in 1994

      They then stitched up two prominent Palestinian activists to take the blame

      Samar Alami and Jawad Botmeh received 20 year sentences for a crime they didn’t commit.

    My employer reversed Victim and Offender in my case now some 89 months old. You bet Mommy used her connections at UW VMC and wasn’t shy to intimidate a few low level employees to redirect the almost certain prosecution of her Autist Son for having assaulted and battered no fewer than 3 hospital employees before me.
    That’s a Class C felony in Washington state and by WA statute identical to assaulting a judge, stenographer, attorney or bailiff in a WA state court.

    It’s not a broken record.

    It’s an unbroken record of fraud, corruption, racketeering, conspiracy, spoliation of evidence, witness intimidation and subornation of perjury.

    The job is a backoffice call center job for a health care provider. Doing insurance paperwork (joy!)

    So maybe they can require vaccinations of their cubicle monkeys who never ever provide medical care nor interact with patients? Because health care?

    They waited until after I submitted the job acceptance documentation, so they – by design? – ruled out the possibility of putting it off. It appears to be required in order to begin work

    As an atheist, my religious exemption options seem to be limited. Intrinsically, my values would be individual information-gathering, appraisal, and decision. Can’t claim anyone is giving me orders or rules on what to do or not do.

    I should probably become a Jehova’s witness or something to get ahead of these problems, but I realize this with a few days of leeway, so I will have to take some other tack.

    I could claim to be a Logical Positivist and quote various lines from Ayn Rand or perhaps Nathaniel Branden that tell me to find out for myself, make my own decision. Ordering me to be independent and not follow orders?

    I come from a medical family. Doctors, nurses, people high up in Baxter. The consensus talking shop at the dinner table was that the less things you put in yourself, the better and that one should keep in mind there are always tradeoffs

    Like, possibly unhealthy vaccination for a dread disease, but I have joined the Peace Corps and am on my way to Africa. 1% chance of catching the disease. Death or paralysis if I catch it — cost/benefit says take the vaccine.

    Call center worker in Denver, mostly remote, might catch a cold or flu someday. Looking to inject mercury, aluminum, and who knows what else. Only times in the past 20 years I caught the flu were the two years I took the flu shot. Why on earth would I inject that garbage?

    Maybe there’s a CVS technician that administers shots and likes money. I must mean maybe CVS workers don’t ALL work pro bono, honest bro, literally all I am saying. Also I meant CVS workers in minecraft, so who feels stupid NOW?

    That job is hybrid – so they have the means to let people work from home and have no justification for shots, but by requiring 1 day a week, they CAN require shots!

    The interview today went well. Not a health related job. Totally completely remote. They do not come off as people that would be concerned about shots. Slightly lower pay, but then I don’t have to spend gas money or lose an hour or more a day commuting.

    I guess I will reschedule this appointment to verify my shots as late next week as possible and see if these other guys come through with an offer before then.
