    Tucker Reacts to Trump vs. Biden Debate During Sydney

    Aspnaz:
    You actually believe that Biden is in control of his career?

    I suspect that the reason why those propping up Biden believed that they could continue *is* because of the level of success they have enjoyed thus far. Biden was not up to the task of being president 5 years ago, and yet they succeeded well enough that he was slipped into the presidential slot. The media is their echo chamber, and as long as the media continued to fall in line, as it had done for 5 years regarding JB, they believed that the charade could continue. It was all hubris.

    I’m going to enjoy watching this play out…it is nice to see the curtain pulled back and “the Great OZ” revealed as a humbug.

    Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) announced that his wife Rhonda died on Thursday.

    It’s unknown what caused her death,

    but Massie said she had visited Mount Rainier with him and other family members last week.

    It’s a Mystery

    She was in the studio with us when I did the interview with Tucker.

    The Gastonberry Festival of Woke affords a near perfect illustration of how insanity is woke, and woke is insanity. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/banksy-launches-migrant-boat-stunt-glastonbury-festival-which-has-8-mile-long-20ft-high

    The festival promotes unfettered acceptance of migrants (even the famous artist Banksy gets into the act) and yet the festivities were completely protected by a 20ft tall, 8 mile long purpose-built wall, complete with guards and watch towers. All of this in a country with open borders, overwhelmed and collapsing from immigration.

    I fully understand why they built the protective wall, but my question for them is, “Protection from who, you guys? Protection from who?”

    Eva V. is not an elected official or technically a politician, so IMHO Mr. Begala’s observation remains valid.
    According to Wikipedia, she is “a Dutch far-right activist, known for propagating conspiracy theories and expressing anti-feminist sentiments”, so she must be doing something right. LOL…

    “Massie”

    Innuendo…
    ……………….or is it true?

    Is it evidence of Insurrection, internal strife or Civil War?

    AIPAC versus ABSCAM…..
    …………………………………….guess which one is/was run by the The Catholic church as an FBI construct to monitor, control, entice, eliminate and/or blackmail the target?

    Beware the false premise.
    They abound.
    The usual suspects are so circumspect today.

    Let me hear more about Catholics, Catholic dogma and The Pope. That’ll fix ’em alright.

    Massie vis a vis Murtha.

    Don’t y’all want to know how they murdered a Congresman, Chair House Appropriations as in writes the checks for the MIC?
    FOIA request the Navy’s and Army’s records on Murtha’s demise.
    They delivered the fateful blow to Murtha a few steps from the medical school F. Edward Hebert and Murtha brought into existence. The same players, identical fellow travelers, cowed Murtha’s staff into silence until thIs day.
    Who possesses such arrogance and power to carry out an operation against Chair, House Appropriations?
    AIPAC?
    FBI?
    American Jewry?
    Israeli jewry?
    Again, get me those records.
    I’ll review them and write the unassailable retort.

    So, here’s a riddle.
    The most common way to gain entry to the United States Naval Academy or any service academy is through Appointment by a U.S. Congressman.

    To gain entry to a service academy, which one is required?
    A. Appointment, congressional
    B. Nomination, by your Congressman
    C. Both

    and no we’re not talking about the rare enlisted applicant or their dependents

    No new does not mean good news.
    https://www.newarab.com/news/overcrowded-jails-force-israel-halt-arrests-palestinians#:~:text=Overcrowded%20prisons%20have%20forced%20Israel,to%20a%20lack%20of%20space.&text=Overcrowded%20prisons%20have%20reportedly%20forced,West%20Bank%2C%20according%20to%20reports.

    Overcrowded prisons force Israel to halt arrests against Palestinians in West Bank
    Overcrowded prisons have forced Israel to cancel planned arrest operations against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank due to a lack of space.
    Overcrowded prisons have reportedly forced Israel from conducting 20 arrest operations against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, according to reports.

    The Israeli army was due to make 20 arrests of Palestinians in the coming week but was forced to cancel due to a lack of space in prisons, where detainees have reported horrific conditions.

    There are as many as 9,300 Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli jails, according to Palestinian NGO Adammeer, with the number surging since the start of the Gaza war in October.

    Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation reported that the army and Shin Bet, the domestic security service, were forced to cancel 20 arrest operations planned for this week due to a lack of space in prisons.

    “Due to worsening conditions in detention facilities, security services are compelled to assess the risks posed by detainees,” the corporation said.

    Israeli forces have been conducting near-daily raids in towns and cities across the occupied West Bank which often escalate into hours-long battles with local armed groups.

    The Palestinian Prisoners’ Club which monitors conditions for Palestinian prisoners has said there are 6,627 Palestinians imprisoned without charges, in a status known as administrative detention.

    Administrative detention places individuals behind bars on secret security grounds which enables Israel to hold people for an undetermined period without charges.

    Human rights groups such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have documented testimony of horrific cases of torture and degradation imposed on Palestinians by Israeli prison authorities.

    Israel’s military detention camp Sde Teiman was recently at the centre of a media investigation which exposed distributing conditions Palestinians detained from Gaza were being kept in.

    Whistleblowers said Palestinian men were kept in cages, permanently blindfolded and kept in stress positions while injured detainees were strapped to hospital beds naked and forced to wear diapers.

    In response to the revelations, Israeli state attorneys said it was “phasing out” the use of the site which served as a military base before being turned into a detention camp during the war.

    The Palestinian Prisoners Club is calling for investigations into the death of at least 18 Palestinians in Israeli jails. Last week, there were reports in the Israeli media that the International Committee of the Red Cross was being barred from visiting prisoners, against international conventions on the treatment of detainees.

    In April, Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has previously called for prisoners to be executed to free up jail space.

    “The death penalty for terrorists is the right solution to the incarceration problem, until then – glad that the government approved the proposal I brought forward,” Ben-Givr said, in reference to approved plans to build 936 additional prison cells to take in more Palestinians.

    UNRWA published a report in April stating it had documented the release of 1,506 Palestinian detainees via Gaza’s Karam Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossing on 4 April, many of whom had suffered torture, ill-treatment and sexual violence at the hands of Israeli forces.

    @Bam-Man

    Not knowing the context in which Mr. Begala issued his opinion, I was assuming that he was referring to politics in general, and not specifically to elected officials or politicians in a technical sense (whatever that means.)

    But perhaps you’re right,
    in the same sense in which Aristotle was perhaps right – assuming that “Man is by nature a political animal” is a mental concoction of him – and we all oughta be better off by excluding women from politics altogether.

    Kind regards.

    The problem with human rules and human laws lies in the fact that, almost immediately after we establish them, we begin contemplating exceptions (regardless of whether their aim is to benefit “our side” or to harm the “other side(s)”.)

    IIRC Mr. Begala was President Clinton’s Chief-of-Staff at the time (or shortly beforehand), so I’m pretty sure he meant elected officials in particular.

    Adolf weighs in on the “debate” –

    Biden kept mumbling about America being so great and yet a senile old man is apparently the best choice to run it.

    America trying to decide if it wants to devolve into facist corportocracy by gleeful choice or by utter indifference..

    Way too late…it’s has already devolved into a dystopian nightmare compliments of distractions, brainwashing propaganda, utter indifference AND mental insanity. Liberal retards waging war vs Russia, Republican retards waging war for genocidal jews… Both divide and conquers bankrupting the Nation through total idiocy.

    Now it falls on the rest of the world to sort out the shit stain America is. Speaking of falling down- Biden falls UP stairs, down on a stationary bike, trips on bags, but he won’t “step down” from being brain dead.

    Step back objectively and look at America- it is an insane nightmare, a bankrupt orgy of violence and hypocrisy… pretending it is not undead.

    When will the Phoenix rise from the ashes ? When the US is completely destroyed.

    Given that AIPAC is controlling all the POTUS candidates, why isn’t there a Jewish candidate. Would it not be more honest to get the Jewish boss to stand as POTUS rather than his butt fucks?

    True-
    Jews are better at hiding in the shadows pulling strings, can’t blame them and no accountability.
    Hairs on fire if you try…. “anti jew” vs truth and reality for jews.
    Jews, Republicans, Democrats are NOT honest humans.

    America is a themed amusement park lie- not very funny now is it ?

    US politicians ‘best efforts’ supported by jews has destroyed the Nation. Simple.

    I’ve been vacationing this week, and much of the long drive yesterday and today has been filled with reading The True Believer, by Eric Hoffer (1951.). My spouse saw it referenced by Sailer in his recent interview with Tucker Carlson, and he ordered it so that I could read it (and share the best parts and the concepts with him, lol.). I recommend it. So very often many have asked the question, why is it that I could see through the Covid mess readily, or relatively quickly, when so many others were hoodwinked? Hoffer has some cogent ideas about why this is, written 70 years prior to Covid craziness.

    The ready imitativeness of a unified following is both an advantage and a peril to a mass movement. The faithful are easily led and molded, but they are also particularly susceptible to foreign influences…. The preaching of all mass movements bristles with admonitions against copying foreign models and “doing after all their abominations.” The imitation of outsiders is branded as treason and apostasy…. Every device is used to cut off the faithful from intercourse with unbelievers.” (P. 103-4)

    And that is an apt explanation for the broad invention of and obsession with dis-, mis-, and malinformation and opposition to free speech. Free speech is critical to liberty and to the unmasking of mass movements.

    If Adelson’s wife is donating to Trump then you know that the elites support Trump as much as they support Biden. There is no competition, the elites will get an obedient POTUS regardless of who wins the election. If Trump was operating on small donations then that could be different, but we know Trump, he likes his ego to be massaged by the rich and famous, he wants to be their pet, approved of by the elites, one of the ‘In guys”. It is pathetic, but so is the USA since the Jews took control.

    The “debate” coverage distracted the Sheeple of Duh’merica from a major bit of news

    From Larry Johnson

    “Amid all of this political theater, the world is missing the major story. Russia’s Minister of Defense has ordered the Russian military to take out U.S. drones flying over the Black Sea. Here’s the diplomatic version of Belousov’s order:

    Russian Defense Minister Belousov instructed the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces to “take prompt response measures” to the flights of American drones over the Black Sea.

    He noted “the increased intensity of flights of US strategic unmanned aerial vehicles over the Black Sea, which carry out reconnaissance and target designation of high-precision weapons supplied to the armed forces of Ukraine by Western states to strike Russian targets.”

    According to Belousov, “such flights greatly increase the likelihood of incidents in the airspace” with Russian aviation, “which increases the risk of direct confrontation between the alliance and the Russian Federation.”

    The Russians aren’t bluffing

    Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk cost about $140 million a pop.

    Shoot down 7.5 _ a billion $ gone

    Iran forced one down and reverse engineered it.

    The Israeli Media Company Haaretz Reports that Official Documents Reveal that Israel Had Prior Knowledge of the October 7 Hamas Attack

    Interesting. I particularly liked the ..

    to bring about a final solution to the Palestinian problem

    A final solution. Isn’t that the wording used by the Jews in their fairytale holocaust scam? So the Jews attacked themselves, giving them the lie they needed to fool the rest of the American retards to support them. The American retards then showed the world that they were comfortable with genocide, so much for the rules based order, the Jew thugs in the USA have destroyed that country, helped by the decline in the quality of the inhabitants.

    Now the Jews of the DNC are pretending that they never knew Joe Biden was mentally disabled. The Jews lie forever, there is no believing anything they say and their influence causes once respected institutions to follow suit, places like the CDC, an institution brought to its knees by the Jews.

    “In point of fact it was broken in the run-up to WW2 when British Intelligence successfully infiltrated and rather quickly took over the Executive Branch

    It was BROKEN by the National Security Act in 1947.

    The current situation is dire, for obvious reasons. The enemy holds the castle, the treasury and the armory.

    Right, right and right. Okay. So yes. Now what do we DO? There are other people who ALSO know this, so what did THEY do? What are they, right now doing? Well, THIS probably (casts hands around broadly). Right? What would you do? So join in then, they aren’t going to print you a membership card, do your DUTY.

    Aspnaz if you haven’t been inside baseball on the Pope, (Try Ann Barnhardt.biz, ultra-uber Catholic) it works like this, AND they, the German clergy wrote papers on how to make a charge at God himself before installing their people:

    The Pope, has the anointing of Jesus back to Peter. It would SEEM, or they THINK it is, an actual, literal magic spell. They’ve been installing the most evil people found on the planet periodically for some time, but never seem to be able to defeat this anointing spell. It would seem. I am inferring from their actions. SO: what they decided to do was to BREAK the anointing into digestible parts. You have TWO Popes, a public and private, internal and external, real and, um, show? …You know just like the King, the President, etc etc. If not that, then four Popes, then five, then 10 then…Right? ‘Til something breaks.

    You can find any lawyer to argue anything but it SEEMS under Papal law, the Pope can’t just wander off in a corner somewhere. He has to DIE. There is a case of one Pope but he has to RENOUNCE entirely, stick and hat, leave the office, yada. Benedict never did. They threatened him constantly, but he never took any LEGAL action, only Puppet-show action. So therefore there IS a Pope: It’s not Pedo Bergoglio trafficker of nightclub boys and wanted in Argentina (Literally, look it up). It’s Ratzinger. (Never a more appropriate name) So there were TWO Popes. A real and fake. Split the office, split the public, split the purposes, like France has PM and President both, SPLIT THE ANOINTING. That is, diluted Pope, Pope-lite.

    Now like 1/3 of the Catholics cottoned on to this pretty quick. They can be very serious. And as last evil pope they force-installed, there has been a non-stop Schism singe 1960 when they – that is the Black Hats who are dark, occult, Satanists, that is, they BELIEVE in magic (unlike so many Christians) – that they killed the OLD spell, the one the Eastern Orthodox are using (sort of, bear with me) in the 1500-year Latin Mass. I BIG-time spell. With BIG-Time energy magic. That was step one. It worked, broke the magic, diluted the watered down church, got it to inject every ungodly thing in there one fig-leaf at a time, as they’re praying to an empty, disconnected phone line now, then discredited Christianity altogether. Why! If CATHOLIC magic don’t mean nothin’, all you Jesus freaks are bunk, ain’t you? True. But not in the way they think.

    This is the FINAL step, after the sole bulwark, John Paul II prayed on his knees the last 10 years of his life to forestall and reverse it, having to go to the hospital. No one could pry out of him why he was doing that. THat Cardinals “Faction” book suggested most of it. But no one lives forever. He did NOT expose them, because he would be summarily clobbered, yet was ALSO unable to install his Cardinals, etc, or enough of them. It was very tight, but he got rolled.

    Now? Easy: Ratzinger is dead. There is no Pope. They installed this one incorrectly, from a council that was entirely fake and extra-legal. Same as (or if) they installed Biden if Trump actually won the vote. You can’t “just” install. That person is not REAL. They’re fake, an imposter, illegal, untrue, a non-pope. Never was, isn’t now. Nothing changes that Pope #1 is dead because they haven’t called the council for Ratz’ replacement correctly. Yo can’t just “We Make S–t Up” and especially to God and man.

    It would be legally complicated, but they CAN call this new council, admit they’ve been slack and not had a Pope but a gay bath house actor for two years, and vote a new one, but they ain’t gonna.

    And every day more Catholics slowly, slowly realize this. Thus the new archbishop trial actually, publicly, openly accusing, discussing, and outing the fake actor for what he is: nothing whatsoever to do with God. A thief and liar, a con man. If not, why! He can call a new council and straighten it all out good, right? Wouldn’t that be the Christian thing to do? Hahahaha! Nope. You shall know them by their fruits. And he, my sir, is fruity as they come.

    This is all pre-written with yet MOAR Catholic magic in the Prophesy of Malachy, 1100AD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophecy_of_the_Popes He is the LAST Pope—although maybe one more, to sort things out – and we all wondered in 2015, how in the name of God’s green earth could that ever happen??? Sure, the Church wasn’t well, but seriously, CEASE TO BLOODY EXIST in only 10-20 years? What, a nuclear winter, McCarthy “The Road”, what??? Jesus, totally impossible.

    N. O. P. E. Happened, not a problem, AND: nobody noticed. Those of us that noticed were all crazy since nobody cared, they can’t tell right from wrong at all anyway. Plants Crave Brawndo.

    Give it a whirl, fascinating stuff. BUT: may be somewhat buoyed by, A) He ain’t the Pope, never was and B) like nearly half the Catholics know or tell hushed rumors about it now. …Took long enough but whatever, people are busy, can’t read all day like I seem to.

    Takeway: apparently not only is that magic believed by the evil world-running Black Hats, but apparently seems to be independently real by testing and evidence as well? If Christian magic is real, what does that MEAN? Where is that “Magic” coming from, who’s running it, and how does that work? No wonder they outlawed the bible as a evil book and are tracking all Bible-buyers and Catholics with the FBI. Doesn’t make sense if that’s all empty hokum, does it?

    Ha ha, that is ridiculous. You think the FBI is going after bible bashers because the FBI thinks that God may come down and help them? That is the most ridiculous thing I have read today. The FBI will only chase after people that they think are a threat to government power, and religion is always a threat to government power. The leaders of the religion become powerful because lots of people are listening to them and because they have churches and the like spreading the word; that power is a challenge to the government, hence the FBI will monitor and harass them.

    The FBI does not believe that the religious have some secret line to God, the FBI are not morons, they are the government’s thugs.

    Criticizing “Real” Catholics and “Fake” Catholics. Check. So no one is special to me. Comment debunked, status acquired. Just there are no evangelicals left to pick on, and only two months ago, I re-printed their 20 top zingers on Joel Olsteen.

    If religions are all fake and run by evil people, then aren’t the FBI and the Catholics, Bible-people all on the same side? That is, of evil? The FBI wouldn’t track their own allies because they’re already onboard, it’s a waste of resources.

    So either the FBI is secretly good, or the Catholics, Pope, and Christian Bible-owners are. Pick one. I’ve stated my case.

    Right-O!!

    Let me spell it out.
    The fish ain’t bitin’ today..

    AIPAC, a bonafide, genuine, existing construct operates with impunity to influence any, all, some Congressmen. AIPAC exists to promote a fanatical religous State’s interests exclusively.

    …………indemnified by a process more beguiling than money. AIPAC operates in plain view. AIPAC receives tacit consent from the FBI et al.
    Ask Jack Murtha.

    ABSCAM. FBI fabricated with the idea to use the specter of money, bribes and a supposed root psychological disgust with Arabs to tar, feather and ruin Congressmen that fell for the ruse, the con game, the false premise.
    The FBI conned the audience and body politic with anti-Arab bigotry as The Foundation of an equally dishonest operation against The Gov’t.

    ABSCAM versus AIPAC

    The very idea of Arab influence in the United States Gov’t remains a talisman, curse and bludgeon.

    While the very existence of AIPAC runs free like the gentle rain from heaven on whom it falls twice blessed…..
    ………………………were you to have mercy and redemption and indemnity and carte blanche too.

    Is it true about Massie’s wife?? Ah hell it doesn’t matter.
    Someone wants people to think so, eh MPSK??

    What strange, strange thingsX2 to say DBS and MPSK…

      Rep. Massie’s wife, Rhonda, has died suddenly. She was 50 (?)
      No word on how or why.
      And I only recently “met” the guy- and liked him quite a bit.

      We shall see how sincere Rep.Massie will prove to be be in his pledge. This kind of cruel reality is what the word martyr is all about.

    The currents of history are running deeply and largely unseen, but we can look at things that are not working well in the current globalist-neoliberal financial paradigm of decision-making and resource management on our fair planet. What kinds of modifications to the plans would be beneficial, and what adjustments to the decision-making procedures would facilitate practical management going forward?
    People live and learn, and die, and the next generation has learned some good habits, but does not “know” in the same way, so there is a tendency to recurring crises, as support systems decline, and human elites turn societies against each other in wars, which the elites use to try out different managements while the societies are obeying emergency orders and afraid to be marked as “traitors”. We also use-up whatever good-stuff we find to support ourselves, like forests, coal, oil, aquifers and rich soil for farming.
    We’re not bad critters. Any other critters would do the same thing, using what is found to support themselves and their progeny.

    I’ll spill the beans. I seek Divine Guidance frequently, and I am often waiting for epiphany, so I have to keep busy with practical matters, because it comes when it comes, and it’s not that frequent. That being said, we have the structures and mechanisms that we have, and must work within them every day.

    We saw a gross representation of the failures of the current corrupt elite structures Thursday night, as the husk of Joe Biden was seen by all devout members of the Democratic Party to be demented. Now everybody knows that everybody knows. This moment was planned and structured by DNC elites, in coordination with other ruling elites. One must assume that DNC elites are now monitoring social media traffic for clues as to what direction people might easily be led, but it is also the case that rumors of false flag attacks and bioweapons releases, to force states-of-emergency, also abound. Well meaning elites might allow another candidacy by Bernie Sanders to proceed, elderly as he is, but these elites won’t. they are severely constrained by their code-of-conduct which only allows dishonesty, and that road has reached a certain late destination now.

    There are other “rising-elites”, more willing to engage the world realistically, and to ascertain where it is likely to go, as opposed to where they want it to go, history “rhyming”, and resource assessments and financial analyses being available. One of the recurring themes is that when economic systems must adjust and “reset”, that some elite group, often a rising-elite group, will offer the non-elite members of society a better deal to gain their cooperation. Declaring the slaves in a city to be “free” as soon as it is taken over by the besieging army is such a deal. Lincoln used that one, but it was already thousands of years old. We are not yet in receipt of such a social-contract as the Americans of the “great generation” of WW-2 obtained through their sustained efforts. It was offered by FDR, but undercut as soon as he died, by “imperial financial interests”, his “banksters”.

    Trump and Kennedy have both made statements that they would make peace with other countries, improve the American economy, and cut military spending, but they cannot do it without changes in the imperial court of deep state functionaries, and a new coalition of financial-power “ownership” elites. A financial crisis was “dealt with” in 2019-2020 with the “going direct” intervention, under cover of COVID-lockdowns, but the shuttered restaurants and real-economy inflation are apparent. The mismatch between the real-economy and the financial economy has only worsened by all of the measures taken since 2009, which have delayed and worsened the inevitable reckoning, where vast “fortunes” on ledgers will be written down, and some humans will find that they have little or nothing left. Elites have arranged for the first of those losses to be taken by retirees, especially by ceasing to live and claim their entitlements. There are more losses than that. Some elites will have to take losses. That’s always the point where wars and insurrections take place. It is still being put off, but it is inevitable, and the $US is being stepped-down as global reserve currency, by the parallel BRICS system under-construction. Default upon $US debts has already been accepted by that system as non-exclusionary for participation. There will be a lot of that at some point…

    The new system will have an efficiency advantage, just as the current financial imperialist system started with an efficiency advantage over the military imperialist model. The natural response is to presume that this system will degrade over time, maybe sooner, which I also presume, but a stark choice is likely to present soon, and it will be presented as No-Choice, but that we must comply in some emergency. Maybe I’m wrong. That would be fine. Getting out of debt, since banks usually take assets in crises, and growing a vegetable garden are good investments, seldom regretted. Be a friend, too. Same thing.

    A Midwestern Doctor (eventually) makes a fair case for this speculation. Is Joe Biden’s Brain Vaccine Injured?
    Story at a Glance:
    ​ •One of the most common side effects of the COVID-19 vaccination we’ve observed is cognitive impairment. This can range from brain fog to dementia, and frequently we see a rapid acceleration of pre-existing cognitive decline into Alzheimer’s disease.
    ​ •Recently large data sets have emerged which support our observations and indicate millions of people are being affected by the adverse neurological effects of the vaccines. Those datasets are summarized here.
    ​ •After Joe Biden became president, he had a rapid decline in cognitive function, leading many to say he is not the same man who assumed the presidency four years ago. Since that decline paralleled his vaccination uptake, the pertinent medical information about his case is provided here so you can assess if the two were indeed linked.
    ​ •Many other prominent Democrats have had significant vaccination injuries, including 8% of the Democratic Senators. Each of their brain injuries (3 strokes and encephalitis) and their link to vaccination are discussed here. This article particularly focus on Dianne Feinstein’s case, because like Biden, she had pre-existing cognitive impairment which rapidly progressed after the COVID vaccines (which she forced on America) hit the market and rather than admit it, she did everything she could to cover it up until she died.​ https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/is-joe-bidens-brain-vaccine-injured

    ​ CDC Panel Recommends COVID Vaccines for Ages 6 Months and Up Amid Concerns Doctors Afraid to Recommend Shots​
    The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices on Thursday also recommended everyone 6 months and older get a flu shot.​ (Especially retirees!) ​ ​ https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/cdc-recommends-covid-vaccine-flu-shot-kids-doctor-concerns/

    ​Andrew Korybko is more emphatic than usual. Don’t Let The Elite Get Away With Gaslighting That They Didn’t Know About Biden’s Senility
    The country is being ruled by a shadowy network of transnational and domestic elites that are united by their radical liberal-globalist ideology.
    ​ The reality is that they knew about this all along but covered it up by lying that any claims to this effect were “Russian propaganda” and/or a “conspiracy theory”, all because they actually approved of the Democrats installing a literal placeholder in the White House who the liberal-globalist elite could control.​..
    ..They … went along with the lie that Biden is in tip-top mental condition for reasons of political convenience, but now it’s impossible to keep up the charade any longer, hence why they’re all feigning surprise and shock…
    ​..Biden was chosen as the Democrats’ candidate in 2020 precisely because he was already senile and therefore completely controllable.​ (Or ​c​orrupt & compliant, anyway.)​ That ​(uni)party, which functions as the public face of the abovementioned elite network, wanted someone who’d do whatever they demanded on the home and foreign policy fronts. In particular, they sought to turn America into a liberal-globalist hellhole while ramping up NATO’s containment of Russia in Ukraine, but the second policy backfired after the special operation began.
    ​ Nevertheless, they’ll never have another chance to install someone like Biden since 2020 was an exceptional election year due to it being a referendum on Trump – who a significant share of the public was preconditioned to falsely believe is the new Hitler – and mail-in voting due to COVID-19.​..
    ​..Any acknowledgement that they were aware of this would expose their role in 2020’s de facto coup, which was the elite’s latest after the ones in 2001, 1974, and 1963. Back then, 9/11 was exploited as the pretext for taking the national security state to its next level, while Nixon’s resignation in the face of the CIA’s Watergate scandal was meant to remove a truly independent and popular visionary leader. As for Kennedy’s assassination, many believe that it was aimed to stop his planned withdrawal from Vietnam.
    ​ The elite’s latest coup was meant to turbocharge the US’ preexisting liberal-globalist trajectory after Trump partially offset it with his comparatively more conservative-nationalist policies, which necessitated provoking a proxy war with Russia in order to unify the West around this ideological cause. The damage has already been dealt and a lot of it is irreparable, but Trump’s return to power would still be better for Americans and the rest of the world, which is why the elite are dead-set against it. ​(And there’s Kennedy, unmentioned.)​ https://korybko.substack.com/p/dont-let-the-elite-get-away-with

    ​ Israeli Officials Hiding Data About Forced Starvation of Gaza Prisoners
    ​ Security sources told the Israeli newspaper Haaretz that the Israel Prison Service (IPS) is intentionally cutting Palestinian prisoners’ caloric intake, a move confirmed by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who called the policy a “deterrent.”​ “The Palestinian detainees will receive the minimum rights and the minimum food, and I will ensure that this policy is implemented.”​…
    ​..“There is no starvation, but my policy does call for reducing conditions, including food and calories,” Ben-Gvir added.
    ​ However, dozens of Palestinians held by Israel, including so-called security prisoners and detainees unaffiliated with Hamas, have testified that the IPS “has significantly reduced their food rations, to the point of starvation, causing them to shed dozens of kilograms.”​…
    ..At a hearing on Wednesday, the High Court of Justice slammed the reduction of Palestinian prisoners’ food rations as “unacceptable.”…
    ​..According to Israeli whistleblowers who worked at the notorious Sde Teiman prison camp in the Negev Desert, Palestinian detainees there are tortured not to “gather intelligence,” but “out of revenge” for October 7.
    ​ Often referred to as “Israel’s Abu Ghraib”—the infamous U.S. military prison in Iraq where dozens of detainees died, some of them tortured to death—Sde Teiman has been described by former detainees as hell on Earth. Palestinians held there and at other detention sites described being electrocuted, mauled and even raped by dogs, and starved, among other abuses.​ https://scheerpost.com/2024/06/28/israeli-officials-hiding-data-about-forced-starvation-of-gaza-prisoners-report/

    ​ US Begins Evacuation of Thousands of Citizens: Israeli Army to Invade Lebanon and Syria Simultaneously to Eliminate Hezbollah
    Risk of engagement with Assad forces – US sends 3,500 bombs
    ​ The US, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, North Macedonia and Kuwait are asking their nationals to leave Lebanon immediately, while Germany, along with the US, Canada, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Russia, the UK, France, Ireland and Australia, have urged their citizens to avoid traveling to Lebanon following rising tensions between Hezbollah and Israel.
    ​ Additionally, according to breaking news, US Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force helicopters and aircraft are expected to evacuate hundreds of American citizens from Lebanon to Cyprus and from there to the United States as Israel is set to launch its operation against to Hezbollah.​..
    ..An unimpeded flow of arms is now being promised by the Americans with the delivery of 1,700 500-pound Mk.82 bombs destined for Israel, which were seized in May after the Israel Defense Forces launched an incursion into Rafah in southern Gaza…
    ..There is a strong possibility that any Israeli invasion to oust Hezbollah north of the Litani River would coincide with an Israeli invasion of Southern Syria to oust Hezbollah and IRGC (Iranian Revolutionary Guard) militias such as Fatimiyoun and Imam Al -Hussein, from Quneitra and the countryside of West Daraa.​..
    ..Yesterday’s pounding by Israel’s air force, last night, as well as the concentration of forces in the Golan Heights and South Lebanon, support the above scenario…
    ​..Nasrallah appears to be locked in a costly conflict, but he cannot end it before the war in Gaza ends. Meanwhile, the IDF continues to pound southern Lebanon and prepare for a major war, which will be painful for Israel but a total disaster for Hezbollah, according to Israeli experts.
    ​ Besides, according to statements by a top official of the Biden administration, to Politico: “Nasrallah’s logic … is that everything is connected to Gaza and until there is a cease-fire in Gaza, the rocket launches into Israel will not stop … Frankly, we reject completely this logic”.
    ​ On the one hand, they “reject this logic” and on the other, US Secretary of ​State, Antony Blinken recently stated that “A new war between Israel and Lebanon would be disastrous for Israelis and Lebanese citizens, we call for urgent diplomacy”.​ https://warnews247-gr.translate.goog/war-monitor/israhl/oi-hpa-ksekinoun-thn-ekkenwsh-xiliadwn-politwn-o-israhlinos-stratos-tha-eisballei-tautoxrona-se-libano-kai-suria-gia-thn-eksaleipsh-ths-xezmpolax/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp

    ​ Report: Biden Admin Sent Israel ‘At Least’ 15,000 2,000-Pound Bombs
    ​ Between the war’s start last October and recent days, the United States has transferred at least 14,000 of the MK-84 2,000-pound bombs, 6,500 500-pound bombs, 3,000 Hellfire precision-guided air-to-ground missiles, 1,000 bunker-buster bombs, 2,600 air-dropped small-diameter bombs, and other munitions, according to the officials, who were not authorized to speak publicly.​ https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=64515

    Iran is not specifically threatening to attack Israel… Iran Threatens Israel With ‘Obliterating War’ If It Attacks Lebanon
    ​ A Friday statement from Iran’s ambassador warned the UN that any “full-scale military aggression” in Lebanon against Hezbollah will mean that “an obliterating war will ensue.”​ The Iranian statement continued by emphasizing that “all options, including the full involvement of all resistance fronts, are on the table” in a statement posted to X.
    ​ By “resistance fronts” Tehran means the militias it supports in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen will also ramp up their military activities. On a few occasions, Iraqi Shia militias have launched missiles and drones against southern Israel, as have the Houthis, with limited effect.
    ​ Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acknowledged this week that a “seven front war” could open up, in reference to all of Iran’s proxies across the region.​.. ​ Most analysts agree that Hezbollah is far more capable a paramilitary and guerilla force than Hamas, or any other Iran-linked group in the region for that matter. In the 2006 Lebanon war, there were reports that IRGC operatives were on the ground in Lebanon assisting Hezbollah. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/iran-threatens-israel-obliterating-war-if-it-attacks-lebanon

    ​ Iran Openly Talks About Building A Nuke In Historic Shift
    ​Tehran is fully aware of its status as a ‘threshold state’ and is using this to project strength in its broader standoff with Israel in the region:
    ​ In interviews with a dozen American, European, Iranian and Israeli officials and with outside experts, the cumulative effect of this surge appears clear: Iran has cemented its role as a “threshold” nuclear state, walking right up to the line of building a weapon without stepping over it.
    ​ And yet Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu has warned many times over the years that he will not allow Iran to achieve nuclear status. He has vowed to launch a preemptive attack should Tehran cross this line.​ ​ [We hear that Russia doesn’t want that to be done.]
    ​ But this has not stopped an official close to Iran’s supreme leader from recently explaining that if the country were to face an existential threat, it would “reconsider its nuclear doctrine” — as quoted in the Times report.
    ​ Without doubt, Iranian leaders have in the back of their minds the examples of Iraq’s Saddam Hussein and Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi. Both gave up their WMD programs and nuclear aspirations, and soon after were invaded, overthrown, and executed (and in Gaddafi’s case he was killed on the street by NATO-backed rebels).​ https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/iran-openly-talks-about-building-nuke-historic-shift

    ​ Iran presidential election 2024 updates: Pezeshkian, Jalili head to run-off
    Reformist Pezeskhian won the first round of the presidential race with 42.5 percent of the vote, followed by hardliner Jalili who got 38.6 percent.
    Both candidates now head to a run-off as neither managed to get 50 percent plus one vote needed for an outright victory.
    At 40 percent, the turnout was the lowest ever recorded since the formation of the Islamic republic in 1979.
    Friday’s election took place to pick a successor to President Ebrahim Raisi who died in a helicopter crash earlier this year.
