…And the 1972 Chevy used a carburetor I could fix with a screwdriver.

This is just a motorcycle. It’s just a Harley. Since 1937. Added a computer and it immediately doesn’t work, in fact never worked, everyone denied it didn’t work, sold it for a VC fortune, handed it to a dumb s–t mechanic who ACTUALLY fixes things and found out…it never worked. Ever. After I dunno, 95 hours labor on it?
Yeah: computers! AI’s going to take over everything.
Compare to this, which IS tech, and ALSO a Harley, but could, really, honestly, just be flipped back to mechanical again.
You can pick any of the three ways. You can pick any of the three ways and have it work great. We pick all of the three ways but only if it DOESN’T work. ‘Cause, computers.
There’s no problem a computer can’t fix given 39 years and 35,962 BSD Reboots, plus 60,000 hours of high-priced engineers working on it day and night. …Instead of hiring two secretaries and a Smith-Corona for two weeks. So they can feed their kids. “I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL!!! Before they lower me in the ground, a SWEAR by Tara, I am going to have a computer do SOMETHING correctly!”
…Yeah, good luck wit’ dat.
The democrats are not listening to the people.
The democrats are listening to their echo: beat Trump.CNN is doing all they can to make the viewers believe that they are honest journalist who had no idea that Biden had lost a couple of marbles.
President Biden calls into TV show to try and save his campaign and his Presidency.”
Note that the call-in is audio only, which can only mean that there is SOME level of trickery afoot there… could be AI-generated audio, could be spliced-together clips of prior speeches from when Biden was more sentient, could be a coached, jacked up Biden with multiple takes… what rough beast is this that slouches toward Bethlehem?
Over half the value of UConn football is generated personally by its coach!!!!!
The funds are, then, funneled to bolster Marxist ideology that permeates the learning institutions?
Just a fly-by question.I personally think that universities are there to provide a new generation of educated talent to keep the country afloat and
competitive. Not to make a sport coach rich. University is not a sport arena! Where are the professors and assistants in that picture of misplaced values and general “idea of worth”.In answer to your fly-by – There is no difference between the UConn coach luxuriating in his greater-than-everyone-else fake aretḗ (greatness + virtue) 50m salary and the 70’s Marxist Sociology Professor That Hates You luxuriating in his or her or its superior “virtue,” indoctrinating students in a New Religion at the expense of their debt-enslavement and any education of pragmatic value. While making 6 figures and gold plated benefits. (The superstitious-quasi-religious spiritual coin he/she/it is paid in equals the 50 million the football coach gets – they get to cause well over 50 million in damages to young minds after all)
Jesus takes all the world’s sin upon himself and goes to hell in the place of everyone else, calls THAT forgiveness.
Marxists extend guilt and debt to those who never committed the offense or never engaged in the debt-incurring behavior, call THAT “forgiveness.” Oppositeworld.
Atheists ought to at least be able to meet some minimum cognitive and moral standard that Christians are able to meet. At least! (I say this as a very disappointed leftist atheist libertine)
lol all millennial women interviewing me. Increased sneering. I suspect that, with some GenX grey showing in my goatee and being male, they were just waiting for SOMETHING. Hard to tell these days, but that was the feeling.
Liberal feminist “women” (ask them to define one) are in full attack mode. YOU are their enemy now, they are waiting for anything to attack, dehumanize, insult, be self righteous and then re-educate pending your self confession and willingness to submit. You are not projecting, you are experiencing their “new normal”.

The Lincoln Project… Liberal playbook- project fear, ignore reality. Ignore what is happening now, ignore their past insanity (ex covid) – project moar fear and insanity. Sickening.

Democrats voted to fine Americans for not buying health insurance, but ARE giving it to illegal immigrants for free.
I was fined for 2yrs, and one year they refused to return my refund of $600. They told me if I wanted to fight it they would do a full audit on me. What about that great health crisis a few years back ? Covid.
“We don’t want to overwhelm the hospitals” ? Has their been any reform of our ‘health care’ system post pandemic ? NO
They fired medical professionals (and everyone else) for not submitting to Rape injections, while they themselves were exempt for the injections they mandated. Maybe that will shed light on why I refer to them as sub human trash brain dead zombie scum ?
I have not had health insurance for decades as I simply cannot afford it. There are some seriously evil fuckers around us- mainly Liberal scum. Pity if they all died painfully and slowly from their “precious” experimental not-a-vaxxine injections.
You DO remember their collective chants about no health care for the un-vaxd right ?
Pity if all their health problems were now overwhelming the system particularly after firing good Drs and true health professionals.My body / my choice right sub human trash hypocritical scum Liberals ?
I’m sorry can you repeat that ? You said the Vax does NOT stop transmission and was NOT tested for it? You say masks don’t work so wear two? You say social distancing was fabricated pseudo science so cancel the hollidays, life AND show me your papers ?Pity a Ukranian hospital was destroyed by Ukranians themselves, in a conflict they started, by American air defense weapons.

In the early 90’s during the crumbling of Eastern block countries there was that “rock musician”, a prominent figure of dissent in Hungary at that time, who claimed that communism was preventing him to reach a deserved musical recognition.
Well…..it’s been over 30 years?………Me nether.
Small snippet about the “isms”.True. To anyone who had a ligering belief in democracy in the USA, the fact that a senile old man has been “running the country” reveals that the country is actually run by a gang of unelecteds with a front man.
Spot on top comment by Kr0nWayne:
My only quibble with this article is that all of this has been blindingly obvious for a very long time. If you haven’t been able to see it, it’s because you didn’t want to, not because you were gaslit.
Exactly. Not believeing your lying eyes seems to be a common trait of the American citizen.
haha you use every logical fallacy because – per Marx – it’s “pragmatic”
No it was the opposite. People came from the other side of a 1000 person call center to me or would text or ring me up asking me to come to their cubicle to help. I was invited to be a lead in many a training bay and was a supervisor of a training bay, helping several hundred people. Was repeatedly complimented in skip-levels for being interested in their well-being, informative, and fair.
So consider why you have these mysterious unaccountable oppositeland feelings.
Defensive projection?
I’ll just add, I was careful, in my initial reply to you, to not pick any fight with you, but sort of add to your point. In appreciation of what you’d reported.
You didn’t HAVE to pick a fight in response. Apparently you wanted to be seen doing so. So that’s what you got. And look where you went from there.

Ukraine shoots up to 3 air defense rockets per Russian cruise missile, all can’t hit the Russian missile … so they land randomly in the city.
Good old USA air defences; missing the targets and killing the plebs they are claiming to be protecting. Looks like someone forgot a requirement when they designed those missiles, the self destruct requirement, instead it has American values, “kill someone, anyone”.
Seems you think a conservatory student who objects to the authorities that his education doesn’t exist for the purpose of football is wrong? His complaints are ..er, what?

Bodyguard For Anti-Gun Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor Shoots At Would-Be Carjacker
The perp, 18-year-old Kentrell Flowers, suffered non-fatal injuries and was taken to a local hospital following the incident.
Flowers first exited a vehicle before threatening the U.S. Marshal at the 2100 block of 11th Street, the press release stated. The U.S. Marshal fired several shots at the 18-year-old suspect with the help of his U.S. Marshal colleague, who also drew and fired his service weapon from a separate vehicle.
Flowers was arrested and charged with armed carjacking, carrying a pistol without a license and possession of a large-capacity ammunition feeding device, according to the press release.

One easy way to grow the GDP would be to separate government payments like pensions and tax rebates into two parts. Twice a month this would double those transactions. As GDP is just a measure of financial transactions this would give a great boost to the GDP numbers.
Which One https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/which-one
I’ve been ruminating excessively about the upcoming presidential elections, which seem to be Nationalist vs. Globalist, with Trump and Kennedy running for nationalist concerns and Barack Obama appearing to be the preferred DNC/Globalist candidate, though they can’t officially run him for president. They can run “Joe Biden” for POTUS and Obama for VP, because he just “can’t be elected” 3 times to the office. They can run Michelle Obama if she will deign to run, but she doesn’t want the abuse she’ll get if she does. Kamala Harris could run as Michelle’s VP, to keep the many millions of $US in the Biden-Harris war-chest.
It doesn’t look like the DNC want to dump “Joe Biden” before the election, but if they did, they could put in Harris as POTUS and candidate, and run Barack Obama as her VP, though it would have Harris headlining the ticket, Yuck!Is Viktor Orban secretly or overtly in-league with Donald Trump, the anti-NATO? Will this nationalist/conservative cancer in Europe and the US coalesce into one big illiberal tumor of prudence and discernment? “The horror, the horror…”
What missile hit the Children’s Hospital in Kiev? A whole side of a hospital wing was evenly stripped of windows, which a directional-fragmentation warhead could do.
The video here can be paused click by click to show a long, thin missile, coming down at a steep angle, which has small fins in the middle, and medium fins near the back, maybe not at the very back. It is not hypersonic, not glowing white. https://x.com/MyLordBebo/status/1810277872013062224Some claim that it is a cruise missile, a KH-101, but KH-101 has big wings in the middle and fins at the back and also an external jet engine. Those features are lacking. https://x.com/ChuckPfarrer/status/1592631965533949954
It does not look like a Patriot, which has very clean lines and small fins at the back. It does not look like the huge-finned S-200 missiles that Ukraine has used against surface targets sometimes. It also does not look like an S-300, which has very clean lines and small rear fins, like a Patriot. http://www.astronautix.com/s/s-300.html
It does look consistent with a Soviet era 2K12 “Kub” or “Sam-6” in NATO parlance, 1970s surface to air missile, fired from a mobile, motorized platform and having a 132# fragmentation warhead. This was a popular and much-exported air-defense missile. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2K12_Kub http://www.astronautix.com/k/kub.html
Norway-Supplied Air Defense System Fired Missile That Hit Hospital in Kiev – Russia’s UN Envoy
An air defense missile that hit a children’s hospital in Kiev was likely fired from a Norway-supplied NASAMS system, and Russia is waiting for a reaction from Oslo in this regard, Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vassily Nebenzia said on Tuesday.

Gilbert Doctorow, NATO celebration of its 75th anniversary at a Summit today in Washington, D.C.
First, I was called upon to confirm the obvious: that the Ukraine war will be the leading subject for discussion among the assembled NATO leaders. This is so because it is the glue that holds the Alliance together today and gives it justificatory purpose. The expected presence of the self-proclaimed, presently unelected president of Ukraine Zelensky at the gathering is a token of the prominence that will be given to the Ukrainian question. However, this does not mean that there will be any date set by the Alliance for Ukraine’s being admitted. That eventuality is pushed back with the horizon as time marches on, the reason being that there is no unanimity among Alliance members on the point, and unanimity is an absolute requirement.
The mood in Washington is unlikely to be celebratory for several reasons, beginning with the political travails of several key members and due to the latest activities to defang NATO by one member, Hungary…
..The energetic, very brave and apparently effective efforts of Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban to shake up the EU and NATO these past several days indicate that Uniparty rule in Europe under the aegis of Washington’s ventriloquist dummies Ursula von der Leyen and Jens Stoltenberg may be coming to an end.
Within a day of taking over the six-month rotating Presidency of the European Council, Orban flew to Kiev to discuss with Volodymir Zelensky prospects for a ceasefire and opening of peace negotiations, followed by a similar mission to Moscow where he was received on short notice by President Vladimir for two and a half hours of talks. Orban’s trip was denounced by von der Leyen as a betrayal amounting to appeasement of Russian aggression. He was denounced by Charles Michel of the European Council for acting without mandate from the EU. However, Orban responded that he was not acting in the name of the EU but in the name of humanity, to spare us all further escalation of the conflict in the direction of Armageddon, where it is now headed absent any effort by the West to enter into direct diplomacy with Moscow. He successfully publicized in meetings with journalists that peace will never be achieved by bureaucrats, meaning the entire flock of unelected EU officials busy preening their own feathers; it will come about thanks to politicians opening up communications channels between the warring parties.
What has received little or no attention in mainstream is that in parallel with diplomatic travels that yesterday took him to Beijing, Orban’s Hungarian team has been busy building a new bloc of like-minded deputies to the EU Parliament who are taking their seats in Brussels as we speak. So far, to my knowledge, he has signed up MEPs from 12 countries under the name Patriots for Europe, and they will constitute the third largest bloc in the Parliament. This group will oppose the status quo domination of European politics by the Center Left-Center Right coalition of the European People’s Party and the Socialists and Democrats party. The rallying cry of the Patriots for Europe is “less Europe”, meaning less intrusive EU Institutions, legislation, regulation and debt financing. They are calling for restoration of national sovereignty, stricter control of the borders to keep out illegals, and other causes that have broad popular backing but have been opposed, suppressed or marginalized by the EU powers that be these last five years. None of this bodes well for NATO, of which nearly all EU Member States are participants.
Finally, I was privileged to be given the opportunity on WION to discuss the latest news from Kiev about a missile strike, allegedly by the Russians, that yesterday destroyed a children’s cancer hospital in the capital with loss of life among medical staff and patients.
As I noted, responsibility for this brutal act must be laid at the door of Mr. Zelensky, and not Mr. Putin. It fits perfectly into the pattern of false flag events that have been choreographed by intelligence operatives from Great Britain and the United States in a number of countries over the past decade, with particular attention now to Ukraine.
Very conveniently for Mr. Zelensky this disaster occurred the day before today’s opening ceremonies for the 75th anniversary of NATO in Washington. It provides him and other speakers at this Summit with a rallying cry against Russia’s alleged inhumanity and violation of the rules of war in the Ukraine conflict, all for the purpose of rousing the participants to approve still more munitions and money for Kiev.
Similar coincidences have marked many of the false flag events of the past. The cold-blooded murder of civilians in Bucha occurred in March 2022 just days after Kiev disavowed its signature on a draft peace treaty with Russia at the urging of Boris Johnson. It was a convenient post fact justification for doubling down on the war against the Kremlin.
Similarly, the death of Russian Opposition leader Alexei Navalny in his prison camp occurred very conveniently the day before the opening of the 2024 Munich Security Conference to which his wife, now widow had been invited to speak. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2024/07/09/nato-celebration-of-its-75th-anniversary-at-a-summit-today-in-washington-d-c/Gilbert Doctorow, A tale of two cities: have we seen a ‘surge to the Left’ in British and French elections?
In this brief essay, we will look behind the bald facts of vote counts and strive to make sense of where the UK and France are headed. What does the latest news tell us about the ‘managed democracies’ in Europe? …
In Britain, Labour won a landslide victory, taking absolute control of Parliament and ending 14 years of Tory chaos and misrule. In the American vernacular, British voters were given the opportunity to ‘throw the bums out’ and they availed themselves of it. Labor leader and incoming Prime Minister Keir Starmer achieved this success by having expelled from the party the genuinely Leftist former leader Jeremy Corbyn and taken up the winning ‘New Labour’ centrist position first defined by former Prime Minister Tony Blair…
..In France, Macron’s party, or ‘movement,’ yesterday lost its tenuous hold on parliament, coming in second to the New Popular Front, as the united Left parties call themselves, in a three-way race. Macron and his supporters could savor a victory of sorts by having risen from the ashes of the European Parliament voting on 6 June and of the first round of balloting for their national parliament a week ago, when they appeared to enjoy no more than 15 – 20% of voter support. Now they hold nearly a third of parliamentary seats and can hope to forge a coalition with the united Left parties to keep their sworn enemies, the so-called ‘Extreme Right’ National Rally of Marine Le Pen, away from the levers of power. The outcome is what political commentators call a ‘hung parliament’ in which two of the three rival blocs of deputies will try to form a ruling coalition while the President tries to stand above the bickering and back-stabbing while exercising near-dictatorial powers of legislating by decree.
That there will be a lot of bickering is beyond doubt: the single most prominent voice in the New Popular Front is that of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, head of the France Unbowed party. He is the embodiment of anti-capitalist spirits within the country, and though he claims that the Left is ready to govern, and though he or one of his allies may well be tapped by Macron to form a cabinet, it is hard to see how parliament and president can cooperate on anything whatsoever in the days and months ahead. It is nearly certain that France will continue its descent from relevance within the EU and within the world at large that the dimwitted and cowardly François Hollande oversaw from his CIA-stage managed electoral victory back in 2012 onwards…
..The strength of the Continent-wide system of power sharing and coalitions is its ‘progressive’ appearance, its very inclusiveness. Inclusiveness, let us remember, is the new divide between Conservatives and Liberals, whether it goes by the name ‘identity politics’ or not. It long ago replaced policies for how you divide up the economic pie among contending strata of the population. On the Continent, many different parties get to share in the responsibilities and spoils of power.
I put the accent on ‘spoils,’ because I maintain that coalitions are a formula for institutionalized corruption. Governments are formed by back-room deals among the various parties in the agreed coalition. Ministerial portfolios are allocated with scant attention to the competence of the appointees for the given post, looking instead to the need to reward top party personalities for their adherence to the coalition. And the policies set out may well be in sharp contradiction with one another, meaning implementation can well be inconsistent and ineffective. There can be no better illustration of the pitiful results of coalition building than the current federal government of Germany, where ill-educated and wholly incompetent ministers such as Annalena Baerbock at Foreign Affair and Economy Minister Robert Habeck are a disgrace to the good name of European statesmen and women from generations past.
Let me emphasize here that a hung parliament was precisely the wish of Macron and his immediate entourage when they understood that there was no chance of their own list of candidates holding onto power alone and there was every risk of Le Pen getting an absolute majority. The pro-Macron forces of French politics are strongly pro-market, as one would expect from a leader who entered politics after making his career in the counting rooms of the Rothschild bankers and brokers. Yet, out of purely opportunistic calculations, in the week between the first and second rounds of balloting, they reached agreement with the New Popular Front on which of the two would withdraw their candidate from the race in given electoral districts so as to better ensure victory over Le Pen’s party there. It worked, but will the resulting parliament work? That seems not to interest M. Macron at this moment. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2024/07/09/a-tale-of-two-cities-have-we-seen-a-surge-to-the-left-in-british-and-french-elections/ John Helmer, NATO’S PLAN FOR PERMANENT WAR IN UKRAINE AND ON THE FAREAST FRONT — PUTIN HAS STALIN’S HITLER PROBLEM
American, British and Canadian troops in NATO’s forward bases in Poland, Latvia, and Lithuania are being told to prepare for deployment to the Ukraine next year. They are also being warned to expect to fight under heavy Russian artillery, missile, guided bomb, and drone strikes.
This message is also intended to slip into the hands of Russian military intelligence and find its way to the Kremlin. There, Moscow sources believe, the intelligence is interpreted as provocation — part of the US and NATO scheme to escalate NATO attacks in the Black Sea and deep into Russian territory, in order to encourage Russian counter-attacks against NATO targets, triggering thereby Article Five of the NATO Treaty and collective NATO force intervention to follow.
Additionally, Russian sources interpret the intelligence as confirming that the US will not allow capitulation and replacement of Vladimir Zelensky and his regime in Kiev — so no denazification, which is one of the two main objectives of the Special Military Operation. Also, no peace terms will be countenanced short of Russian withdrawal from Crimea and the four regions of Novorossiya, and the military defeat of the Russian Army. So, no demilitarization, the second of Russia’s long-term security objectives.
The immediate General Staff response has been to devise “soft” measures to combat the US, UK and other NATO airborne electronic warfare units which are providing guidance, targeting, launch timing and flight manoeuvre of Storm Shadow and ATACMS missiles, as well as coordination of Ukrainian aerial and naval drone strikes…
..Under growing domestic pressure to counter attacks as damaging to civilians as the Sevastopol beach strike of June 23, President Vladimir Putin has been making a sequence of statements of calculated ambiguity, if not of strategic deception. One interpretation of this by security analysts in Moscow is that the president is avoiding the provocation trap, creating instead a record of peace terms he is offering, confident they will be dismissed in Kiev, Brussels, London, and Washington. This is to reserve Russian freedom of action for now, reverse the blame later on.
On Friday, in Putin’s remarks to the press after meeting at the Kremlin with Hungary’s Prime Minister Victor Orban – currently the rotational president of the European Union Council – Putin repeated his peace terms offer and his expectation of their rejection: “We remain open for a discussion on a political and diplomatic settlement. However, the opposite side only makes clear its reluctance to resolve this issue in this manner. Ukraine’s sponsors continue using this country and its people as a ram, making it a victim in the confrontation with Russia.” …
..Putin is not alone in the war staff – the Stavka – in suspecting provocation by the Americans and British while they prepare for escalation to direct war. Too, the Stavka recognizes this was Stalin’s problem interpreting intelligence from Tokyo and Berlin, especially Richard Sorge’s cables from December 1940 through the early days of June 1941, warning of Hitler’s preparations to invade across the Soviet border.
Moscow sources are sure that avoiding Stalin’s catastrophic misjudgement of Hitler’s timing is a priority of Putin’s and of the General Staff’s. Misjudging the timing of the US coup in Kiev of February 21, 2014, almost cost the loss of Sevastopol and Crimea; misjudging the readiness of Ukrainian forces at Hostemel on February 24, 2022, cost the lives of at least 300 Russian paratroopers, failed at triggering regime change in Kiev, and doomed the peace negotiations in Istanbul of March 30…
“We told you so” is not a refrain the Kremlin is hearing now from the General Staff for the first time.
..“What happened to no NATO, and de-Nazification?” a military source asks. “The Americans, Ukrainians, British have been escalating and the president has been temporizing in response,” he answers. “I don’t believe Orban is just making overtures in Hungary’s interests either. He’s an emissary for Trump’s end-the-war plan”.
The source is referring to Orban’s boostering for Trump’s election in November. “You can criticize [Trump] for many reasons,” Orban has said, “but the best foreign policy of the recent several decades belongs to him. He did not initiate any new war, he treated nicely the North Koreans, and Russia and even the Chinese … and if he would have been the president at the moment of the Russian invasion [of Ukraine], it would be not possible to do that by the Russians. Trump is the man who can save the Western world.” …
..Moscow sources suspect Orban told Putin he is Trump’s go-between on terms for ending the war in the Ukraine. Orban openly hinted at this himself, telling the press after their meeting “we will not achieve peace without diplomacy, without channels of communication.” As Trump’s channel, Orban then repeated Trump’s recent claims that he will end the war the day after he wins the election on November 5. “I wanted to know what the shortest road to end the war is. I wanted to hear Mr President’s opinion on three important questions, and I heard his opinion. What does he think about the current peace initiatives? What does he think about a ceasefire and peace talks, and in what succession can they be carried out? And the third thing that interested me was Mr President’s vision of Europe after the war.”…
..There is no Russian military confidence in Trump’s proposals, or in Orban’s version of them, or in the Russian oligarchs also presenting themselves to the Kremlin as go-betweens…
..The milbloggers leave no doubt that the USAF Global Hawk (RQ-4B) electronic war drone has returned to Black Sea airspace from its new base in Romania to direct the new Ukrainian raids. Zvinchuk’s Rybar has also reposted a report on NATO preparations for basing NATO ground forces, manned aircraft, and drones on Romanian territory, as well as for repairing HIMARS and other artillery units salvaged from the Ukrainian battlefield, in order to return them to action…
..NATO is approaching Russia’s borders from the other side , by Gevorg Mirzayan
The NATO bloc will become a global one in the medium term, the experts say. They are referring to the possible advance of the alliance in the Pacific region – directly at the borders of China and the Far Eastern borders of Russia. How will this happen and how can it affect relations between Russia and China?
The leadership of the North Atlantic Alliance has announced its readiness to participate more actively in East Asian affairs. This is ostensibly a response to China’s actions...
..The Chinese claim NATO has no place in East Asia, if only because the organization will bring with it only conflicts and wars. “All countries of the Asia-Pacific region are committed to promoting peace and development. Americans need to respect this commitment and also work for peace and development, and not bring block confrontation and conflict with them to the region,” the Chinese Embassy in Washington has said in a statement.
However, the Americans seem to ignore these accusations. The arrival of NATO in East Asia has already been resolved for them — it will be implemented under whatever administration comes next. And the statement about China’s partisan involvement in the Ukrainian crisis is just an excuse, as well as a rhetorical device in order to put pressure on the European countries and convince/force them to support the expansion of NATO to the Far East.
“The fact is that Europe is trying to avoid genuine participation in the military confrontation with China. And it motivates this by the fact that the confrontation with Russia is already difficult enough. Europe is ready to support the United States verbally, but at the same time it is not even ready to allocate money for the far-east confrontation, not to mention sending the military to the shores of China,” Vadim Trukhachev, associate professor at the Russian State University, explains to Vzglyad.
“The Americans are really creating a global planetary player or a police organization out of NATO. And they’re not shy about talking about it – to argue that not only American bases, but also European and other bases should restrain China. All this has already been implemented in the form of small missions, and now the Americans are pushing the topic of creating NATO rapid reaction forces. Now these troops consist of 30,000 people, but they want to increase them to 300,000,” Andrei Klintsevich, head of the Center for the Study of Military and Political Conflicts, explains to Vzglyad...Such international forces, Polish, German, French and Italian, would operate outside national command and control. “That is, at any moment, the NATO general picks up the phone and, on instructions from Washington, issues a directive to certain units without the approval of their national parliaments. And the troops are flying away to carry out the multinational task,” Klintsevich continues.
Europe’s sluggish resistance to the prospects of such a deployment is the last problem on the way to the Far Eastern expansion of the alliance. Moreover, there are already enough countries in the Far East which are ready to support the arrival of NATO in the region. https://johnhelmer.net/natos-plan-for-permanent-war-in-ukraine-and-on-the-fareast-front-putin-has-stalins-hitler-problem/#more-900912nd local radio host says they were given questions ahead of Biden interview, “Yes, I was given some questions for Biden,” Earl Ingram told ABC News. https://abcnews.go.com/US/2nd-radio-host-questions-ahead-biden-interview/story?id=111718228
The DNC have a little under 6 weeks to find the most popular way to put Barack Obama in as the Vice Presidential candidate, or get Michelle Obama to run for POTUS, while keeping either Joe at the top of the ticket for Barack, or Kamala as Michelle’s running mate, to keep the Biden-Harris funding war-chest accessible. “Discuss among yourselves.”
“Our Finest Hour”: Democratic Insiders Support “Blitz Primary” After Blocking Primary Competition
A proposal is circulating in Washington to dump President Joe Biden and hold a “blitz primary” to choose a replacement. The proposal is the work of Rosa Brooks, a Georgetown University law professor who worked in the Obama and Clinton administrations, and Ted Dintersmith, a venture capitalist and education philanthropist. The proposal is gaining support with party insiders and repeats the hyperbolic claim that this is essential to avoid a “democracy-ending defeat.”…
..The authors promise an “uplifting” path in which candidates would pledge not to attack each other. They would then have a few weeks as named celebrities like Oprah and Taylor Swift would moderate discussions. Delegates would then use ranked voting before the August 19th convention. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/our-finest-hour-democratic-insiders-support-blitz-primary-after-blocking-primaryIsraeli Newspaper Confirms IDF Employed ‘Hannibal Directive’ on October 7
Following the unraveling of the mass rape claims, it now looks like the fact that Israel killed many of its own citizens on Oct. 7 is beginning to leak out into the mainstream media.
Of course, many have pointed this out for months and were vilified as antisemitic conspiracy theorists for doing so. The Washington Post ran a whole hit piece on Electronic Intifada and others like The Grayzone back in January. While it’s a positive to see Haaretz finally report on the Hannibal Directive, it’s about seven months too late...
..Will the State Department still pretend it knows nothing?
Will WaPo issue an apology? That’s unfortunately probably about as likely as news of the Hannibal Directive in Haaretz having any effect on Israel’s ongoing destruction of Gaza. As of the time of this post Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu continues to insist that any Gaza ceasefire deal must allow Israel to resume fighting until its “objectives” are met...
..The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported Sunday that Israel’s military repeatedly employed a protocol known as the “Hannibal Directive” during the October 7 Hamas-led attack in an attempt to prevent the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers—even if it meant putting the lives of army captives and civilians at risk.
Haaretz found based on documents and interviews with soldiers and senior Israeli officers that Hannibal—an operational order developed in 1986 that “directs the use of force to prevent soldiers being taken into captivity” by enemy militants—was used “at three army facilities infiltrated by Hamas, potentially endangering civilians as well.”
During the first hours of the Hamas-led attack, according to Haaretz, Israeli soldiers were given an order: “Not a single vehicle can return to Gaza.” https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2024/07/israeli-newspaper-confirms-idf-employed-hannibal-directive-on-october-7.html Meeting Netanyahu’s “objectives”: Gaza death toll could reach half a million: Lancet
The leading medical journal says that ‘indirect deaths’ of Palestinians from Israel’s destruction of civilian infrastructure would far exceed those killed directly by the bombing
Israel’s assault on Gaza could lead to between 149,000 and 598,000 Palestinian deaths if it were to end immediately, as estimated by experts for The Lancet.
The medical journal published a research correspondence between physicians and public health experts on 5 July on the difficulty of accounting for the number of those killed by Israel’s war on Gaza, highlighting that both direct and indirect deaths should be considered.
The Gaza Health Ministry has reported over 38,000 Palestinians killed since the beginning of the war. But counting the dead and injured has become increasingly difficult for the ministry as the war drags on, now entering its tenth month, the contributors wrote.
The ministry traditionally relies on data from hospital officials in the besieged enclave, who receive the injured and bodies of the dead. However, Israeli bombing has destroyed many of Gaza’s hospitals and brought its entire health system to the brink of collapse.
Confirming the number and identities of the dead is also difficult because many are buried under the rubble of homes and apartment buildings bombed by Israeli forces, often in the middle of the night as Palestinians sleep. https://thecradle.co/articles/gaza-death-toll-could-reach-half-a-million-lancetGaza deal must allow Israel to keep fighting – Netanyahu, The Israeli prime minister’s statement comes after Hamas accepted a key part of a ceasefire proposal https://www.rt.com/news/600640-israel-hamas-ceasefire-deal/

U.S. Infant Mortality Rate ‘Disproportionately’ Higher Than 16 Other Countries
Children and teens in the U.S. are dying at higher rates than their peers in 16 other high-income countries, according to a research letter published Monday in the journal JAMA Pediatrics. The U.S. infant mortality rate consistently exceeds those of other high-income countries. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/us-infant-mortality-rate-higher-16-countries/ Two Infants Died Within Hours of Receiving RSV Shots, CDC Internal Emails Show “First do no harm.”
Freedom of Information Act documents obtained by Children’s Health Defense reveal that two infants died the same day they received nirsevimab, marketed under the brand name Beyfortus, a monoclonal antibody shot approved last year for infants for the prevention of RSV. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/infant-deaths-rsv-shot-foia-vaers-nirsevimab-beyfortus/Professor Anthony Hall, From COV-19 to Synthetic Design: Forcing a Shift to the Genetic Modification of Humans
Elaborate patterns of fable and fairy tales are deeply woven into the ongoing chimera of COVID-19 as well as the lineup of successor illnesses being prepared to further our demise. The original frauds in 2020 included a totally inaccurate system of COVID tests designed to create massively amplified numbers of so-called “COVID cases.”
Added to this heavily-hyped means of creating phantom “cases,” were high rates of drug-induced homicide in nursing homes. The mortality of a sizeable portion of elderly patients was rushed to fruition with the help of the likes of midazolam mixed with morphine…..In Canada in 2020, for instance, over 80% of supposed “deaths by COVID” were in nursing homes. The heightened death rate in these places provided much of the grist for the propaganda mills used to scare the population into believing a lethal plague was gaining momentum...
..Such manipulative fakery drove the formation of regimes of deception that continue even now to impose on humanity new attacks of unregulated experimentation in gene-modifying bouts of “synthetic biology.”…
..The mRNA/lipid nanoparticle injections administered in the name of fighting COVID-19, became the cutting edge of the wedge of a much larger ongoing scheme. That scheme is to systemically alter the delivery of medical treatment to humans through various techniques for altering of our genes. The widespread embrace of this radical new approach, whose outcomes remain unknown, amounts to an extension of the illegal Covidian experiment on human subjects without our informed consent…
..Seen in retrospect, Operation COVID was in large measure a psychological operation aimed at delivering mergers of military and medical experiments on the largest part of the global population. In the process the human genome of our entire species has probably been transformed in ways meant to create platforms for further genetic engineering. If present patterns continue, this engineering is meant to be in line with AI and the robotization of altered hominids as well as surviving humans…
..Depopulation was and is one of the objectives of the COVID injection procedures. This genocidal project was anything but “therapeutic” for the people it killed and injured, as well as for the survivors still among us. Among the key culprits in this many-faceted crime against humanity were the hoax-addicted media conglomerates together with the perverse fakes that have seized control of a now-deeply corrupted medical profession.
As the World Health Organization-declared pandemic got rolling, the pronouncements of talking heads on TV, including the medical health officers employed by state, provincial and national governments, raised public panic to such high levels of hysteria that reasonable public discourse was purposely rendered virtually impossible…
..As the lockdowns compounded the severity of the devastation in the global economy, bankers like Larry Fink, the founder and CEO in charge of the financial leviathan BlackRock, put puppets like Trudeau Jr. in Canada in charge of deciding what businesses and what people were to be declared “essential.”
To execute their designs the bankers and their agents called the shots in generating much new fiat currency that they loaned to governments with the outcome that large amounts of added patronage money became available to the political puppets whose strings the financiers pulled…
..The bankers’ bribery of their puppet leaders came, of course, with conditions attached. These conditions required captive governments to mandate injections and punish the so-called “unvaxxed.” The Covidian initiates included many law enforcement officials, including judges, who were also subjected to a collective ultimatum that they must do whatever was required to cancel the constitutionally-codified rights and liberties of citizens in many countries.
A telling example of the kind of financial arrangements integral to the pandemic’s larceny was the designation of big box chain stores as essential services while making sure that mom and pop shops would be shut down. The result of this kind of kleptocratic discrimination was a huge upward transfer of wealth from the poor and the middle classes to a much expanded and further-enriched billionaire class.
To not be picked as “essential” amounted to being designated as redundant and disposable. This division set in motion a worldwide onslaught featuring unprecedented levels of shut downs of small and medium-sized businesses, wholesale bankruptcies, soaring unemployment, and breakdowns of many kinds in supply chains.
Such catastrophes extended into the socio-economic sphere through skyrocketing rates of suicides, domestic violence, homelessness, addictions and the like. To this day all these syndromes and more manifestations of societal breakdown continue to intensify and proliferate on full public display in many of the world’s cities and towns.
Meanwhile companies like BlackRock and the malfeasant drug companies like Pfizer, J and J, and Murderna have seized the towering heights of corporate dominance. This takeover by favoured corporations is based on their being showered with gifts and advantages by governments…
..The so-called Clot Shots were and are the opposite of “safe.” When it comes to the issue of “effectiveness,” however, the ironies abound. The question naturally arises: Effective for what? …
..If it happens, however, that the real purpose of the COVID injections was to initiate a massive global campaign of depopulation, then the initiative seems firmly pointed towards effectiveness. The same could be said about effectiveness if a real agenda is to lead the survivors of depopulation into robot-compatible forms of transhuman enslavement through the development of “synthetic biology.”
And then there is the question of whether Operation COVID-19 encompasses larger objectives like opening the way to pre-planned resets of financial and political interactions with the goal of concentrating more power and wealth in fewer and fewer hands…
..Clearly the scale and depth of the Covidian deceptions has grown considerably since the strange developments in Wuhan began to grab global attention back in January of 2020. We need to remind ourselves of how far the Covidian revelations and transformations have come from the days of the original contrived controversy over whether that celebrity virus had jumped onto humans from wild life species residing in a Chinese wet market.
To this day there has been no public reckoning with those who pushed so many lies upon us to justify unloading so much harm on our public safety, or economic viability and our violated rights and freedom. The continuing obfuscation about where we have been and where we are headed is as intense as it is foreboding. The lies are not easing up. In fact the disingenuousness from those claiming to be our governors remains in acceleration mode.
Let me conclude this section by returning to the early stages of the power grab. From the inception of the manufactured COVID crisis, scientific findings were regularly downgraded and ignored to enable politicians to obtain power, maintain it and rise in the ranks of puppet opportunists…
..Skeptical perspectives on the Covidian crimes have been at best an undercurrent of most legislative bodies. Nevertheless, critical perspectives from within the decision-making entities of government have helped to encourage and anchor those millions of citizens who have understood that the supposed public health crisis which began in 2020, is something quite different from how it has been depicted by many mainstream sources.
In the United States Senator Ron Johnson utilized the US Congress to create forums to present the expertise and practical knowledge of many learned critics of the Covidian orthodoxy as pushed uniformly by coalitions of some of the world’s most powerful agencies.
A similar phenomenon developed because of the efforts of a small group of Members of the European Parliament that gathered around the eloquent critiques developed by MEP Christine Anderson.
In the Westminster Parliament in the UK, British MP Andrew Bridgen became, like Anderson and Johnson, the point person for Covidian skepticism based in the UK’s primary seat of government.
With some few small exceptions, elected MPs in the Canadian Parliament have, as individuals and as members of political parties, failed to organize events creating platforms to enable some of Canada’s leading Covidian skeptics to articulate their positions…
..In mid June the United Conservative Party Constituency Association of the Calgary-Lougheed riding organized an event entitled “An injection of Truth.”
Highlighting Dr Byram Bridle, Dr William Makis, Dr Eric Payne, Dr Jessica Rose, Dr Chris Shoemaker, Dr David Speicher, and Dr Mark Trozzi, the event brought together some of Canada’s most expert researchers and medical practitioners critical of Canada’s policies of mass injections.
All of the presenters listed above have faced considerable persecution and even deplatforming for confronting lies and crimes of the promoters of the manufactured COVID crisis. A particular emphasis running throughout all of their presentations was the travesty of injecting children. https://anthonyjhall.substack.com/p/from-cov-19-to-synthetic-design-forcingGood for you jb-hb and no fight at all. I may be mistaken, it appears that you were in frequent conflict with the management at your work place while confined in a cubicle as a regular employee. Thus my remark. Why not run for managerial position in the first place?
While I understand your frustration, you just wrote of almost “picking up the fight” at the job interview? Who does that?Red:

China has put some PLA soldiers in Belarus, alongside the Russian-aligned Belarus army. Biden is lying about how Ukraine can beat Russia, but maybe he needs to step up that lie and tell us how Ukraine can beat the allied Russia and China military forces. Ukraine and whose army?
