BREAKING | Hezbollah launches multiple drone attacks on Israel amid rising West Asia tensions | WIONAug 6, 2024 #hezbollah #hezbollahvsisrael #iranvsisrael
Israeli media reported a large drone attack by Lebanon-based militant group Hezbollah into northern Israel on Tuesday (Aug 6). Several drones were reportedly launched, with one being intercepted and another falling in the city of Nahariya. Local media reports said at least 19 people were injured in the attack.August 6, 2024 at 9:05 pm #165719Dr D RichParticipant“…much bigger deal…”
Sorry, honey. Welcome to the club.
Since when does The Gov’t publish No Fly Lists.At least ANG Tulsi gets to know.
When they label ANG Tulsi another Hannibal Lecter or Lizzy Borden then wake me up.
When they limit Tulsi to entry-level employment at age 57 then alert the media.
When they ANG puts Commannd Sergeant Major Walz in charge of Major/LtCol Gabbard then and only then will her bitching gripe resonate.
Welcome.

Sweetheart.Ps: when Tulsi Gabbard finds out (((they))) stalked her with a Private Investigative Service that used a spoliated consent that appeared to be written by the victim/target maybe then the above average White guy should pay attention to Tulsi’s Trials and Tribulations

The massive civilian toll is the fault of only one power – the Israeli War Cabinet led by Bibi……
Over 200,000 civilians dead, wounded, maimed for life, or missing in the ruins of Gaza’s major cities.
The IDF has the nerve to justify massive war crimes committed on a daily basis, war crimes that have turned the State of Israel into a worldwide pariah……
Since the Biden abdication, the US government has gone radio silent…….and have lifted the restrictions on the sale of heavy ordinance to the IDF killers. And have moved in considerable DOD naval and air assets to protect the mass murderers from attack.
IDF continues to bomb school shelters, hospitals, aid stations, food warehouses, ambulance and fire stations, churches – especially Catholic Churches, mosques, and continues to murder Gaza civil servants and their families in summary fashion in their own homes. Yesterday they murdered the Gaza City Treasurer in his home, and killed his family for good measure….simple blood lust. They have no destroyed 60% of all Gaza housing, leaving a majority of the population starving and without shelter.
The IDF returned the bodies of 84 Palestinians executed by the IDF. These are not combat casualties, because the IDF does not collect fallen enemy soldiers from the battlefield or treat the wounded either. These were captured soldiers executed in direct violation of the Geneva Convention Protocols on War number 2. Yet another war crime.
The IDF will never defeat the rebel forces now, they have the support of the people of the West Bank and Gaza and indeed most of the world. Like the IRA which fought the Brits from 1916 to 1998, and were never defeated in the field, and the like the Brits, the State of Israel is doomed to lose this fight too….its just a matter of time……….

August 6, 2024 at 9:44 pm #165721aspnazParticipantnternational Olympic Committee (IOC) communications director Mark Adams admitted on Friday that there was no scientific or political consensus on the gender test issue in sports after a controversial Olympic boxing match revived the debate.
Well that’s a lie for a start. There has been a concensus for a very long time, as far back as the pre-industrial human societies. We know what a woman is and we know what a man is and we know what the medical abnormalities are. A woke government issuing a passport in the wrong sex means nothing. At the current state of technology, chromasomes are the test, we know that, they know that, we know they know that, but the woke disease is trying and succeeding to get a foothold in the Olympics, the aim being to destroy the olympics and everything it stands for.
Progressives love to destroy stuff, they create nothing, they make money through destruction; exhibit one is California, two is NYC.

Keir Starmer, loyal puppy to the Rothschilds, is putting the white people in their place so that the Jews can get what they want. What the Jews want is total control over the goyim, put them in chains, like the Palestinians, farm them until it is time to genocide them. The only way to stop this is to take the violence to the families of the people causing the violence, the politicians and their owners.

Top Russian defense official meets Iranian leadership in Tehran
The Secretary of Russia’s Security Council, Sergei Shoigu, arrived in Iran’s capital, Tehran, on 5 August for high-level talks on bilateral relations, as well as international and regional developments…
..The visit comes as regional tensions are at an all-time high following Israel’s assassinations of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on 31 July and top Hezbollah war commander Fuad Shukr in a Beirut residential building the day before.
Russia strongly condemned the Israeli escalation late last month.
The meetings with Shoigu came one day after a rare visit by Jordan’s Foreign Minister, Ayman Safadi, to Tehran, aimed at discussing the potential regional escalation following Israel’s attacks on Iran and Lebanon.
Tel Aviv is anticipating retaliation from the Islamic Republic and Hezbollah, as both have vowed harsh responses to the Israeli attacks...
..On 4 August, sources told the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) that “Iran told Arab diplomats it didn’t care if the response triggered a war.”
An Iranian source told Al Mayadeen on Sunday that Tehran plans to “cross Israel’s red lines” with its response.
https://thecradle.co/articles/top-russian-defense-official-meets-iranian-leadership-in-tehran CENTCOM Chief Meets With IDF Chief To Coordinate on Iranian Response
Iran said it doesn’t want a regional escalation but is vowing Israel will be ‘punished’ for killing Haniyeh in Tehran
Kurilla also met with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who said the visit from the CENTCOM chief demonstrates strong US support for Israel. “Your arrival in Israel at this time is a direct translation of US support for Israel into action,” Gallant said. “The relationship between Israel and the United States is unshakable.”
Kurilla’s visit came after the US announced the deployment of new warships and warplanes to the Middle East for the purpose of helping defend Israel. It’s unclear when Iran is planning to launch an attack, but it could happen any day. Israel is also considering launching a “preemptive strike,” which would escalate the situation even more. https://news.antiwar.com/2024/08/05/centcom-chief-meets-with-idf-chief-to-coordinate-on-iranian-response/ Iran warns pilots to avoid airspace as Middle East awaits attack
The tensions have already impacted air travel in the region. German carrier Lufthansa announced an extension of flight suspensions to Tehran, Tel Aviv, and Beirut until August 12. Other major airlines, including Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Air France, and Air India, have also suspended flights to the area in recent days.
Despite these cancellations, operations at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv remained largely normal, with some travelers opting to leave Israel early to avoid potential complications. https://endtimeheadlines.org/2024/08/iran-airspace-restrictions-reported-as-us-warns-of-imminent-strike-on-israel/#google_vignette Israel threatens to destroy all Iranian nuclear facilities in the event of an attack from its side
Israeli publications report that Tel Aviv sent a message to Tehran through a third country, threatening to destroy all Iran’s nuclear facilities in the event of any attack on civilian targets. It is alleged that it was this message that caused the delay in Iran’s retaliatory strike. https://en.topcor.ru/50236-izrail-grozit-unichtozhit-vse-jadernye-obekty-irana-v-sluchae-udara-s-ego-storony.htmlAugust 7, 2024 at 12:21 am #165727John DayParticipant This bunker is bound to be a target, right? “Five Front” War? Israel opens underground nuclear shelter in Jerusalem for country’s leadership
For the first time in decades, the Shin Bet has opened the underground “nuclear” bunker in Jerusalem known as the “Doomsday Bunker” which will house the country’s top political leadership and officials of the Defense and Security complex, a sign that Israel is preparing for war large scale with unknown ramifications. https://warnews247-gr.translate.goog/war-monitor/israhl/polemos-pente-metwpwn-to-israhl-anoikse-to-upogeio-purhniko-katafugio-sthn-ierousalhm-gia-thn-anwtath-hgesia-ths-xwras-eurhma-sok-tinazei-ston-aera-kai-tis-sxeseis-me-aigupto/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp Choke the ports but leave Ben Gurion airport open… Israelis to face major food shortages if Hezbollah strikes Haifa
The report indicated that Tel Aviv authorities are grappling with emergency plans to reroute trade to the Port of Ashdod in the south. However, it pointed out that importers of food, grains, and animal feed are hesitant to use Ashdod due to its inadequate infrastructure and facilities…
..TheMarker recalled that last year, Haifa accounted for 75% of “Israel’s” food imports, highlighting that the potential shutdown of the port in the event of a war with Hezbollah would exacerbate existing trade issues, already strained by attacks on the port of Eilat by the Yemeni Armed Forces. https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/israelis-to-face-major-food-shortages-if-hezbollah-strikes-h Israel Sends Truck Full of Dead Palestinians Into Gaza, More than 80 unidentified bodies were buried in mass graves
Yamen Abu Suleiman, the director of the Palestinian Civil Emergency Service in Khan Younis, told Reuters that it was unclear if the dead Palestinians were exhumed by Israeli forces from graveyards in Gaza or if they were tortured and killed in Israeli detention facilities. “The occupation provided us with no information about the names, or ages, or anything. This is a war crime, a crime against humanity.” https://news.antiwar.com/2024/08/05/israel-sends-truck-full-of-dead-palestinians-into-gaza/ Starving 2 Million Palestinians to Death May be the ‘Moral’ Move, Top Israeli Says, But minister admits that the move could create problems within the international community
“We [Israel] bring in aid because there is no choice…We can’t, in the current global reality, manage a war. Nobody will let us cause 2 million civilians to die of hunger, even though it might be justified and moral, until our hostages are returned…We live today in a certain reality, we need international legitimacy for this war,” Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said. https://trendsinthenews.substack.com/p/starving-2-million-palestinians-toAlastair Crooke, The 1948 Irgun re-born?
..Prime Minister Netanyahu addressed the U.S. Congress on 24 July saying, in an unrelieved Manichaean mode, that the West is facing an “axis of evil” (Iran and allies), which the U.S. must join in destroying. It was a call to participate in civilisational war.
His invitation was celebrated with 58 standing ovations from U.S. legislators.
Netanyahu returned home to a disaster in the Druze community on the Golan. Missile fragments had struck, killing and wounding many children playing football (the exact circumstances are still not clear). Western rationality however is perfectly capable to deduce firstly, that Majdal Shams lies in Occupied Syria; secondly, that the Druze community there remains overwhelmingly Syrian (rejecting Israeli citizenship) and largely pro-Syrian. And that they are neither Jews nor Israelis… Why on earth would Hizbullah intentionally attack a Syrian community on Syrian land that largely is sympathetic to the Resistance? … Spokesman Kirby said Hizbullah had attacked children in northern Israel. Israel’s Defence minister repeatedly says: “We don’t want war”. Western leaders parrot the same meme: No-one wants war…
..So what then occurs? Two major assassinations: one in Beirut and the other in Tehran (i.e. to a guest on Iranian sovereign territory). Western leaders express their ‘concern’. The Hamas target in Tehran, Ismail Haniyeh, as the Qatari PM noted, was the key Gaza hostage negotiator. This too will be overlooked…
..So too ‘overlooked’ in the West, will be that which happened in Israel on the same day the assassinations later took place: Right-wing vigilantes descended from their settlements, storming two military IDF bases. The anarchic scenes of mass break-ins, fomented by several members of the ruling coalition, some of whom took part in the forcible entries, sparked angry condemnation from Defence Minister Gallant.
The invasions were supported by one minister and several Knesset members seeking to free reservists that are suspected of aggravated abuse and forcible sodomy against a Palestinian detainee…
..An eschatological Right-wing cult now holds the majority in cabinet – and wields a vigilante militia ready to attack the military establishment, and the Israeli state. No one was arrested for the attack and take-over of the two bases. They do not dare.
Moshe “Bogie” Ya’alon, former Chief of Staff of the IDF, who also served as Israel’s Defence Minister, had this to say in a video interview on the forces taking over in Israel: “When you talk about Smotrich and Ben Gvir: They have a Rabbi. His name is Dov Lior. He is the Rabbi of the Jewish Underground, who intended to blow up the Dome of the Rock – and before that the buses in Jerusalem. Why? In order to hurry up the ‘Last War’. Do you [not] hear them talking in terms of the Last War; or of Smotrich’s concept of ‘subjugation’? Read the article he published in Shiloh in 2017. First of all, this concept rests on Jewish supremacy: Mein Kampf in reverse”...
..Rabbi Dov Lior has been described by Netanyahu as the “élite unit that leads Israel”, because of his influence and control over the settler forces. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/08/05/the-1948-irgun-re-born/August 7, 2024 at 12:22 am #165728John DayParticipantOver 1,040 Palestinians killed in shelter centers by Israeli occupation since start of war on Gaza https://en.ypagency.net/331603

August 7, 2024 at 12:23 am #165729John DayParticipant Trump Once Again Vows to Make US Energy-Dominant, Chanting ‘Drill, Baby, Drill’
Throughout his bid for reelection, Donald Trump has taken aim at the Biden-Harris administration’s environmental policy, while being vocal about his own plans to double down on reliance on fossil fuels.
Former President Donald Trump has promised that if elected, he would make the US energy-dominant globally.
“We’re going to get energy way down. Drill, baby, drill,” the 2024 Republican presidential nominee said in a Fox News interview.
Expounding on his economic and energy policies, Trump speculated that once energy prices are brought down, it will be easier to curb inflation and manage other outstanding problems. Accordingly, the presidential candidate has every intention of basing his economic policy “very strongly in energy,” as he touted the country’s reserves. https://sputnikglobe.com/20240805/trump-once-again-vows-to-make-us-energy-dominant-chanting-drill-baby-drill—-1119641366.html The Honest Sorcerer, Has Peak Oil Become Self-Evident Yet?
The world consumes around 30 billion barrels of oil (1) each year, which, in theory at least, indicates that we still have 51 years left till we suck all proven and probable reserves dry. Oil is not a ‘product’ rolling off from a manufacturing line, though. It is a finite natural resource with its own set of limitations. After drilling a well oil starts to flow at a relatively moderate — but ever increasing — rate, but only up to a certain point (when roughly half of the oil in that given well is still underground). From that point on, however, pressure starts to drop and the flow gradually slows to a mere trickle. To delay this slow-down in production, oil companies push more and more water and/or CO2 underground to force the remaining oil to the surface, until the effort is no longer worth it. Keeping the equipment pumping burns a lot of energy and machine time, while it returns an ever smaller amount of oil every day. Thus, after reaching an economic cut-off point, the well gets plugged and abandoned, in many cases with quite some oil left in it...
..With that out of the way let us also put the global reserve figure into its proper context. Much of the big gains during the past forty or so years came from revisions — adding numbers to proven reserves on paper only — ostensibly reflecting changes in drilling technology, moving previously uneconomic to exploit resources into the reserves category.... In 2022 and 2023 notably, oil companies have discovered 5 billion barrels only, replacing a mere one sixth of what has been consumed that year...
..It is very important to understand here, that just like lifting oil from underground, discoveries, too, get more expensive with each passing year… You see, it is one thing to put a rig to work in central Texas, where you have roads, infrastructure, hotels, supermarkets, you name it. It is quite another, though, to pull off the same feat in choppy Antarctic waters beset with icebergs and frequent storms, not to mention the thousand-mile long supply route. And it’s not just the cost which goes up in this case, but also the energy expended during the operation; making energy returns on investment worse still...
..”Of course, this upper limit is only realistic and economical if oil demand is not impacted by the energy transition, meaning oil prices would rise far above $100 per barrel. In this theoretical “high case,” total oil production would peak around 2035 at 120 million barrels per day (bpd), then decline steeply to 85 million bpd in 2050.”…
..Peak oil hasn’t gone anywhere, it just kept a low profile for a while… But now, it’s back with a vengeance. In fact, conventional oil production was on a plateau ever since 2005, and only the “shale revolution” (and a massive accounting trick counting natural gas liquids as oil) has made it appear so that oil production was growing. Actually, (not counting the growth in LNG production) we have hit an all time high in crude oil (conventional plus shale) production in 2018 already, at 83611 barrels per day on average…
..Oil prices cannot sustainably ‘rise far above $100 per barrel’ without bankrupting the world economy. The only period in history where this has happened (between 2011 and 2014) was marked by zero interest rate policies making financing burgeoning debt levels a breeze. Before that, in the run up to the 2008 crisis, oil prices rose only briefly above $140 — a figure not seen ever since. This steep price hike was in significant part reflecting the increased production cost of the marginal barrels (2) — contributing to the 2008/9 global recession… When oil prices go above a hundred per barrel, demand slackens, and so does exploration and development of new (costlier than ever) fields...
..This takes us to the second flawed assumption, namely that the fall in oil production can be compensated by electrification. The analysts at Rystad somehow managed to overlook the fact that copper, lithium, cobalt, and just about anything from gravel to limestone is still mined and moved by diesel trucks. Thus, it would be impossible to continue with electrification — a massively material intensive undertaking — in a world where liquid fuel supply would be falling. Remember, diesel oil is a much needed input to agriculture, too, so it is inconceivable that a dwindling supply of this indispensable fuel would be diverted towards mines producing metals for electric vehicles, instead of farms growing food. So, no: neither higher prices, nor electrification can save us from peak oil. Once it’s here, we will have to kiss goodbye to a lot of things — and electric vehicles might be the first ones to go. Simply put: we haven’t got the technology and the time left to wean ourselves off of oil...
..This brings us to a more down-to-earth scenario laid out by Rystad in the same article:
In a more realistic outlook for oil production, total output would peak in 2030 at 108 million bpd and decline to 55 million bpd in 2050, with oil prices staying around $50 per barrel in real terms...
..“The total energy needed for the oil liquids production thus continually increase from a proportion equivalent today to 15.5% of the gross energy produced from oil liquids, to the half in 2050. We thus foresee an important consumption of energy to produce future oil liquids.”
This means that, depending on how far we get with the electrification of drilling operations, we could utilize only a fraction of that diminished petroleum supply for other purposes... This massive reduction in available fuel supply (partly due to falling production post peak, and partly due to an increasing hunger for energy to maintain drilling activities) will lead to massively uneven outcomes. For example: while you might have food on the table, road repairs will be postponed (forever) — unless you live in the same street as the mayor. Inflation, especially when it comes to food and other essentials, on the other hand, will continue to soar higher and higher, till you have no money left to go on a vacation, or buy a new sofa, let alone a car. Fuel will be diverted to essential services and agriculture. https://thehonestsorcerer.substack.com/p/has-peak-oil-become-self-evidentU.S. Administration to Allocate $2.2 Billion for Power Grid Upgrades https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/US-Administration-to-Allocate-22-Billion-for-Power-Grid-Upgrades.html
US Needs Europe Dependent – Russia on Oil Row with Ukraine
On Saturday, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said that Kiev’s suspension of oil transit from Russia to Hungary and Slovakia was coordinated by Brussels.
“The American deep state needs the EU’s total dependence on US energy resources,” Maria Zakharova added. “This guarantees Washington economic bonuses and political control of the EU.”
This means Washington is behind Brussels on the suspension, Zakharova noted.
“That is why the EU’s long-term contracts with Russia were so hated by the [United] States. That’s why Nord Stream 1 and 2 [gas pipelines] were bombed,” she said.
The Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines were hit by explosions in September 2022. Nord Stream’s operator, Nord Stream AG, said the damage was unprecedented and that it was impossible to estimate the time repairs might take.
Russia considers the explosions of the pipelines an act of international terrorism. https://sputnikglobe.com/20240804/us-needs-europe-dependent—russia-on-oil-row-with-ukraine-1119633055.htmlAugust 7, 2024 at 12:24 am #165730John DayParticipant The Anti-Kamala may not be an ultra-right-racist-white-male-with-military-training Federal Air Marshal Whistleblowers Report Tulsi Gabbard Actively Under Surveillance Via Quiet Skies Program https://www.zerohedge.com/political/federal-air-marshal-whistleblowers-report-tulsi-gabbard-actively-under-surveillance-quiet

UK premier feuds with Musk over riots, The British prime minister has slammed the billionaire’s claim that civil war is inevitable in the country
The prime minister slammed the actions of troublemakers, and pledged to field a “standing army of public duty officers” in response.
“The criminal law applies online as well as offline, and I’m assured that is the approach that is being taken,” Starmer said in a statement released on X. “Whatever the apparent motivation, this is not protest. It is pure violence, and we will not tolerate attacks on mosques or our Muslim communities,” he stressed.
The riots have seen mosques and hotels housing asylum seekers attacked.
“Shouldn’t you be concerned about attacks on *all* communities?” Musk replied.
The comment referred to violent counterprotests in the UK. Police in Bolton clashed with 300 “mostly Asian” demonstrators after two rival groups met and a brawl broke out, the Manchester Evening News reported on Monday.
In a video circulating online, customers of a Birmingham pub can be seen being physically attacked. ‘The Clumsy Swan’ pub was stormed by “a group of Muslim youths, who broke away from the main demonstration and were wearing masks and carrying weapons,” the BBC wrote on Sunday.
The UK’s top police official has been pressed on double standards over the riots, which have allegedly been dealt with more harshly than other recent unrest.
Reacting to a question about ending “two-tier policing,” Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley ripped a Sky News reporter’s microphone out of his hands and walked away. He took no questions from journalists.
The events were sparked by a mass stabbing at a dance studio in Merseyside on on 29 July.

The Burning Platform, EVERYBODY KNOWS THE CAPTAIN LIED
Having heard this Leonard Cohen classic on the radio a few days ago, the lyrics have been rattling around in my head as a perfect description of the dystopian horror show we are experiencing in the world today. The song has a dark, foreboding, cynical tone, capturing the sense of a coming catastrophe which everybody can see coming, but we are helpless to stop. Cohen wrote the song in 1987 and it perfectly captures the mood of a Third Turning Unraveling, where greed; narcissism; the breakdown of societal trust; confidence in governmental and financial institutions; and the deterioration of society into the “haves” and “have nots”; sets the stage for the Fourth Turning Crisis of financial collapse, war, and a violent bloody resolution by 2032. Third Turnings are periods of cynicism, deterioration of manners and civil authority, societal disunity, and a cultural descent towards degeneracy…
..It was not so evident at that point that the good guys (you and me) had already lost the war. Cohen didn’t know it at the time, but he was describing the Deep State/Invisible Government control over every aspect of our lives. The dystopia he describes has grown a hundred-fold in the 37 years since he wrote the song, and it keeps getting worse…
..The question many normal, critical thinking, family oriented, intelligent people are asking is why are “they” doing this and for what purpose? They are aggressively shoving our faces in it and daring us to respond in a violent manner. They need conflict and chaos, as they grow desperate, knowing the liquefying foundation of debt supporting their agenda is giving way. Since the opening of this Fourth Turning in 2008, with the man made financial disaster created by our corrupt politicians, Bernanke and the voraciously greedy cabal of Wall Street bankers, our world has been spiraling downward in a vortex of debt, delusion, deception, despotism and degeneracy...
..You can insert whoever or whatever in the role of captain, as the USS America sinks into the shadowy abyss. There have been so many perpetrators, some more responsible than others, but we all need to accept some responsibility for our current inescapable quandary. For decades the masses have believed the captain’s lies. We went about our daily lives, allowing a cadre of evil psychopaths to abscond with our rights, liberties, and freedoms, while implementing a totalitarian surveillance state, slowly destroying our standard of living through insidious Federal Reserve created inflation debasing the dollar, and turning our economic system into a corporate fascist pillage machine, dominated by the military industrial complex, sickcare complex, Big Pharma, Big Tech, and Big Banks. No matter what puppet they installed as captain, the puppeteers running the Deep State remained hidden and in total control of the levers of society...
..Personally, I’ve had a broken feeling, like my dog died, since the onset of this Fourth Turning in 2008. My efforts to try and influence enough people to alter our course and avoid the iceberg, which will sink this empire, have failed. I guess they were destined to fail during this Fourth Turning, just as there is no way to avoid the Winter season. https://www.theburningplatform.com/2024/08/04/everybody-knows-the-captain-lied/ Martin Jay, America’s election meddling will finally be its own sword to fall on, For the United States, the prize in Ukraine has always been the opportunity to fight Russia without committing one dead western soldier.

From the glass house, a hail of stones rains down on Venezuela [This should not be taken to men that the Maduro government is not also corrupt.]
There are two main explanations for the decades of obsession with Venezuela. Both are red flags for the raging imperialist bull, which is still dangerous and with a capacity for mischief that should not be underestimated even as it bleeds profusely after being stabbed with many banderillas.
The first of these is the Venezuelan oil and the geographical convenience of its location close to home, in the Caribbean. As noted by author of “Corporate coup: Venezuela and the end of the empire,” genuine Venezuela expert and Grayzone journalist Anya Parampil, the smokescreen charge that as a socialist country Venezuela is a threat to Western democratic values is bogus. Only between 15 and 20 percent of Venezuela’s economy is under government control, the rest being in private hands. That small percentage however includes the nationalised petroleum industry, which makes the oil and who will benefit from its extraction, Venezuelan citizens or foreign corporations, the real bone of contention.
The other major factor that explains the tenacious hostility toward the Venezuelan government is its geopolitical alignment. Venezuela is moving toward membership in BRICS and it has unequivocally and in practice indicated its commitment to multipolarity. Under Chavez and Maduro it has patiently been building ties not only to likeminded Caribbean and Latin American countries but also forging close political, economic, and even military alliances with Russia and China. That is a defection on many levels by a “back yard” country that cannot be condoned if anything but tatters is to remain of the Monroe Doctrine. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/08/05/from-glass-house-hail-stones-rains-down-venezuela/ I read that the average birth rate for South Korean women in down to 0.7 per woman, the lowest in the world.
1000 KN-24 Nuclear-Capable Missiles Received By North Korean Frontline Forces: Unprecedented Firepower Display Near DMZ
North Korea’s construction of new nuclear facilities, paired with the evident massive expansion in its capacity to produce ballistic and cruise missiles, places the country in a stronger position to deter and if necessary repel a potential military offensive by the United States. Washington came close to authorising attacks against the country on multiple occasions, including under the Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barak Obama and Donald Trump administrations, with several of these offensive plans including options for nuclear strikes. Use of nuclear weapons against North Korea had been widely advocated since 1950, on the basis that the significant conventional potency of the country’s ground forces would be optimally defeated by employing such assets. Such arguments continued to be made under the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations, until Pyongyang was confirmed in the mid-2000s to have developed a basic nuclear deterrent. According to then-Defence Secretary James Mattis, war plans under the Donald Trump administration in 2017 involved killing millions of North Koreans with nuclear weapons by dropping up to 80 warheads on the country. https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/1000-kn24-nkorean-frontline-forces-unprecedentedAugust 7, 2024 at 12:26 am #165732John DayParticipant US mainland ultra-vulnerable to China, Russia hybrid attacks
The US Army’s recent Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) report warns that near-peer adversaries China and Russia are gearing up for unprecedented hybrid warfare tactics targeting the US homeland.
The report says the US homeland, traditionally considered a sanctuary, is now vulnerable to its near-peer adversaries’ conventional, hybrid and irregular warfare tactics. https://asiatimes.com/2024/08/us-mainland-ultra-vulnerable-to-china-russia-hybrid-attacks/ US Court Rules Google a Monopoly in ‘Biggest Antitrust Case of the 21st Century’
A federal judge left no room for ambiguity Monday in a landmark ruling in a case brought by the Justice Department and states against tech giant Google, in which the government argued the company had illegally monopolized the search engine and advertising market. “Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly,” said Judge Amit Mehta, who sits of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
In U.S. et al. v. Google, Mehta found that Google has “violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act by maintaining its monopoly in two product markets in the United States—general services and general text advertising—through its exclusive distribution agreements.” https://scheerpost.com/2024/08/05/us-court-rules-google-a-monopoly-in-biggest-antitrust-case-of-the-21st-century/ This was known and acknowledged/denied openly, so this was the plan all along.

A Midwestern Doctor, Why Was Moderna Allowed to Use A Toxic mRNA Dose?
The data that proves Moderna used a deadly dose and the psychopathy that led to the choice to use it
Story at a Glance:
•One of the major problems facing mRNA technology was finding a dose that was strong enough to elicit the desired effect but simultaneously not unbearably toxic. Moderna in turn chose a dose that was 3.3X greater than what even Pfizer felt was safe enough to use.
•Since the vaccines hit the market, numerous datasets have shown the Moderna vaccine is roughly 50% more likely to injure recipients (which includes deaths, miscarriages, and birth defects). Despite this, no regulator has done a basic comparison on the safety of the vaccines.
•Steve Kirsch recently got access to a country-wide dataset on deaths following vaccination. It showed clearly and unambiguously that the Moderna vaccine caused 30% more deaths than Pfizer’s. Additionally, it also showed that Pfizer’s vaccine raised the risk of death by 34% and that both vaccines had minimal efficacy in preventing COVID-19 deaths. https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/why-was-moderna-allowed-to-use-aAugust 7, 2024 at 12:27 am #165733John DayParticipant ‘Stunning Increase’ In Serious Harm Reports In Young Healthy Pilots: Army Lt. Col. Theresa Long
It’s been a year since four Department of Defense (DOD) whistleblowers found a sudden increase in various diseases in the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED), which coincided directly with the introduction of COVID-19 vaccinations. Now, new data shows more evidence.
That’s according to Lt. Col.Theresa Long, M.D., MPH, a board-certified aerospace medicine doctor and Army Brigade flight surgeon with specialty training as an aviation mishap investigator and safety officer, who was one of the four whistleblowers…
..Long said what she has now found has led her to file yet another whistleblower complaint with Sen. Ron Johnson’s (R-Wis.) office. She described this data as “more alarming DMED data” after she “went back into the ‘fixed’ DMED again to look for signals of harm for Army aviation.”…
..“What I found was a clear signal, that something in 2021 changed the health of service members,” Long told The Epoch Times. She said these signals were consistent with those in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) reports. But unlike VAERS reports, DMED data showed spikes in the number of diagnoses “made by a healthcare professional within the DOD on service members.”…
..“After querying all pilots across the DOD, for all-cause morbidity and mortality, I found a stunning increase in the number of reportable events, spiking from an average of 226 reportable events a year (2016-2019) to 4,059 reports in 2022,” she explained.
A DOD reportable event is any patient safety event resulting in death, permanent harm, or severe temporary harm—and all require a comprehensive systematic analysis and a follow-on corrective action implementation plan report. https://starrs.us/recent-data-shows-stunning-increase-in-serious-harm-reports-in-young-healthy-pilots-army-lt-col-theresa-long/ Parents Warn Public after Son Killed by Pfizer Shot Lean, good-looking young man
The parents of 23-year-old Trent Lieffring are raising the alarm after their son was killed by Pfizer’s Covid mRNA shot.
In 2022, Lieffring received two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine because he believed it was the right thing to do. About eight to nine months later, Trent suffered a massive sudden cardiac arrest and subsequent brain damage.
The cardiac arrest was apparently due to blood clots. He tragically died on August 24, 2023. https://slaynews.com/news/parents-warn-public-son-killed-pfizer-shot/ Meryl Nass MD, (I will contribute on establishing your kitchen garden) Save the Dates! 2nd Annual ATTACK ON FOOD AND FARMERS and How to Fight Back, Sept 6 and 7.

August 7, 2024 at 1:32 am #165734D Benton SmithParticipantThe Uni-Party staged a coups in 2020 and have spent the past 4 years executing the purge that’s always done right after a coups to prevent the inevitable counter-coups if they don’t get rid of all the people who are just itching to turn it all back to what it was in the good old days.. This is basic stuff, like Banana Republic 101. The coups worked pretty well, but they screwed up the purge and now there are more people out to get even with them than when they started out, and stronger, too. With more and stronger backers (Russia, China, Iran, and MANY more.)
Mostly over before Christmas, I reckon. The West hasn’t got a snow ball’s chance in hell, but if they insist in trying then the can always ask the Zionists they meet there for a glass of ice water.

My brother in Detroit, said when he went to his Target pharmacy, he noticed the parking lot was mostly full of dealer’s new cars, mostly EVs!
He also said many car dealers have recently gone out of business because they couldn’t afford to buy all the EV cars the automakers were forcing the car dealers to buy.
Rather than buy the EVs that they can’t sell, the car dealers choose to go out of business instead!Still waiting for a roll call of all the dead Yen carry traders!
Obviously, no one wants to be publically identified as a wounded or dead Yen carry trader as that means certain financial death!If South Korea has a birth rate of only 0.7, well below replacement, then I wonder what North Korea’s birth rate is?
