    The belated Inquiry into the death of Dawn Sturgess (link above, by John Helmer) is focussing attention once more on the Skripal Affair. Rightly so. Helmer has written a book about it, which I haven’t read, not a crit. of him, but I fear being influenced by interpretations, I looked into this in depth at the time, and later, and now will do so again. Such mini-events, scandals, are very indicative of how the PTB functions.

    I’m home alone so over-posting.

    From article at top post, J. A. Tucker:

    The division was not really left vs right. It was workers vs laptoppers, wage earners vs six-figure stay-at-homers, bottom half vs top 5 percent, people with actual skills vs weaponized resume wielders..

    Yes.. but US elections are about gathering votes, about how to do that, appeal to this or that demographic, etc. (leaving out payments, fraud, etc.) The electorate is scinded into groups or ‘leanings’ by the analysts, sliced and diced, and how to propagandise / convince / draw in etc. the voters from the various groups is a well-paid! speciality.

    An anecdote, joke? about Obama (heard in CH, re. his first election). The expert comes to the Obiman campaign and says the only segment I can find where O could be boosted at the booth, beyond all we have done so far (recall, he was expected to win handily by those in the know) is Animal Lovers. O should get a dog and a cat and have plenty of pictures taken, specially with the daughters!

    Bo the dog has a wiki entry. 🙂

    aspnaz posted, prev. : Austria refuses to pay the negotiated price for Russian gas, so the Russians stop pumping the gas …. but somehow it is Russia’s fault, they are bad. Sad article where they try to portray the Russians as the badies where, in reality, Austria refused to pay, but that is good, according to ZH. Desperate and a little pathetic.

    about this article: https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/gazprom-cuts-gas-austria-just-time-winter

    Yes. … What is set to happen next, which is related to this Austria squabble, is that the agreement between Russia and Ukraine for the transit of the gas to Austria, plus others in Europe, via UKR (the gas has origins and a travel path – UKR cashes in super transit fees) will expire at the end of this year. It was a 5-year contract between UKR and Russia and Russia won’t renew it because UKR does not have a legitimate Gvmt., President.

    Some explanation, etc.:

    https://www.bruegel.org/analysis/end-russian-gas-transit-ukraine-and-options-eu

    Trump is at heart a business man, + a show-man.

    Not a lawyer (not keen on them, other story), a politician, a spokesperson or stooge for XYZ industry, not a ‘leader’ of a ‘nation’….
    Apologies for all the ‘..’ – a 3 page essay, no…

    So he gathers together a team who seems ‘dynamic’, they share some of his views, they can ‘move for change’ (or pretend to do so), and this time round, it seems that only ppl who are ‘loyal’ to him have been ‘chosen’.

    The ‘team’ is supposed to ‘manage’, ‘direct’, everything, ‘shake things up’, improve everything rapidly, just like in a Business.

    Close that franchise, buy back stock, fire dumb managers, get cheaper prices for A B and C, and what is the goopy HR doing? Get them contracts moving… get together with big Innovators, Capital, like Musk.

    Those who didn’t perform to whatever standard are just fired pronto, and replacements swoop in. The rapid turn over syndrome…

    But that is not how huge Federations (USA) should be managed.

    The PTB (or Deep State, or…) is very powerful, and in a way, the Prez. elections are a popularity contest, TV buzz for the ‘deplorables’, plus ca change plus c’est la même chose.

    This time round, Trump was AGAIN billed as the maverick, the supposed ‘outsider’ who challenged the ‘Swamp’ and positioned himself as a champion of legal citizens, now not just against illegal immigration, contra foreign influence (oops that is a Dem meme) but seemingly attacking ‘interior’ functioning, the prime ex. is Kennedy’s MAHA, Make America Healthy Again, which threatens big Med and Big Pharma.

    Interesting, as now the glorified ‘profit making’ motive clashes with considerations about e.g. child health.

    Trump will continue winding down the ‘war’ in UKR, which has been cancelled already by the BidAdmin, the ‘war’ was a ‘success’ in a way ! at the start, a ‘failure’ going on, admitted by the US in 2023 or well before and now definitely in 2024.

    (Note that Slavs killing Slavs is always wonderful…so ‘failure’ is just a WORD…it all depends on what the aims were…)

    URK. How Trump will manage that, idk, the *Trump Admin* first proposals touted across the MSM will not be accepted by Russia. >> Russia will go on to take Odessa (at least)…

    Trump will now turn to ‘other’ threats, or areas of ‘concern’ etc. IRAN (in first place) and CHINA.

    phoenix voice posted (prev thread) —- re. 20 million “missing” voters…

    Well, either the Democrats cheated in 2020 or the clot shot killed 20 million voters.

    🙂 ! Yes.

    Another link between Covid19 and the imho *unbelievable* no. of votes for Biden vs. Trump 2020, was that the lock-downs that the COV19 ‘plandemic’ was launched to make official, accepted, allowance for a ‘huge’ number of ‘postal’, aka ‘distant’ etc. votes to be tabulated.

    I read this take posted as a comment somewhere, I never thought of it in this way, that the COV19 ‘plandemic’ was launched to make official, accepted, allowance for a ‘huge’ number of ‘postal’, aka ‘distant’ etc. votes to be tabulated. Pallets! of fake ballots.

    Idk, not believing or touting it, but it is interesting, in the sense that some ppl believe this, and that it stitches together Corps and some Gvmt. Agencies (who created the COV19 panic etc.) and the election process.

    On Trump seeking ‘major changes’ to US foreign policy (top post.)

    Bush Junior attacked, 2001 – 3, Iraq (supposedly cos WMD, etc..) and the Afgh. ‘war’ was churning on.

    The GWOT raging loud.

    How much destruction? Oh Man…spare me…so many dead…

    Obama bombed Afgh (cont’d).. Lybia (destroyed), Yemen, Somalia, Syria, Pakistan, Iraq (cont’d…)

    From CNN, like it is ‘official’:

    https://edition.cnn.com/2014/09/23/politics/countries-obama-bombed/index.html

    Biden withdrew from Afgh. Then launched the ‘serious’ ‘war’ w. Ukr. as a proxy against Russia. Under the radar: territory that could be taken over in UKR by US Big Corps (Agri, minerals, cheap labor, easy control.) Something like that…

    Under Trump there was a ‘pause’ in foreign military attack adventures, hmm.

    Diffent factions in the UNIPARTY switch about being pro / contra this or that murderous enterprise against some country, territory that can’t resist, fight back. Which serves to make their adherents cover themselves with ‘no support for that’ now.. while the other wing of the Uniparty sets out to murder, destroy, sometimes not even for any financial / other advantage, just the JOY of a killing spree to benefit the MIC.

    The risk that Trump may instigate a war against Iran is imho NOT to be ignored.

    About Elon Musk. He figured out Trump would win, no question (imho he can analyse twitter etc. -> it was a no-brainer) like others did. Opportunistically, Tulsi G, the Kennedy Junior, and no doubt many others not visible in the MSM.

    Scattered thoughts … 🙂

    John Day posted prev. thread “Hitler wouldn’t have killed Peanut.” Nice pic. Yup.

    Hitler was ‘Green’ in the sense that he was a vegetarian (though some stories have him sometimes eating meat), a non-smoker (he forbade smoking around him, in meetings, etc.), and a v. strict non-drinker. He was also an anti-vivisectionist, and adored animals and pets, and was totally against hunting. Afaik, he even tried to ban meat-eating in Germany (it didn’t work out, he died.)

    Anyway, my post is superficial, historians will know more, but I am struck by the similarity between the present ‘Greens’ in Germany, as the most rabid war-monger party (no question there, see Annalena) and some kind of ‘Green’ Agenda which champions personal consumption along supposed ‘virtuous’ lines but completely ignores, for ex. the effect, contribution of blowing up stuff, building milit. materiel, etc. to ‘conquer’ or ‘defeat’ ‘opponents’, with no concern for ‘preserving the earth’, nor of course killing others, genocide, etc.

    Plus ca change, plus c’est la même chose..

    yes, thanks to Ilargi for the board.

    OH, AI vid of Trump Musk RFK Tulsi etc. and the Squirrel, dancing to Staying Alive – Epic.

    I predicted 3 times Trump would win (was wrong once) but as I posted here before, when the gap or the diff. between 2 candidates is too large, or too visible to the public (via betting sites, memes, feelings round-about, etc.) – the threshhold is maybe around 2 – 3% – hmm .. maybe a bit more .. no…? (depends on various factors..) it is not advised, considered possible imho, to ‘game’ the system or ‘cheat’ by whatever means, when the diff. exceeds that ‘point’.

    If such a manipulation (see via Diebold for ex.) is attempted or done, the risks of discovery and the following outrage are high, and what follows is the ‘imploding’ of the mythical ‘wonderful democracy’ of the USA, which nobody in the Ruling Class, the PTB, wants. It has to remain ‘rules based’ – credibly so, for the public. So there is a big show, suspense, hold your breath, freak out at the results, etc., but that is DEMOCRACY!

    Polls are often derided, rightly so, for being ‘not scientific’, ‘model built’, ‘just garbage,’ etc.

    But ppl in the know do run proper polls and some or most of the ‘top’ Dems certainly knew Harris was a no-show. Just as the Trump Team expected they would win. (imho.)

    A *caricatural* description, from far away from the US.

    Two tribes are facing off against each other, which has been engineered by the US PTB and US ‘traditions’, rules and regs. (e.g. > no valid 3rd party candidates for the Prez. can ever emerge.) Sure, there are many who recognize the idiocy, many ‘Independents’, many who are checked out, and so on.

    Group One Harris is composed of the lower-to-upper middle class who are divorced from production, they are in the ‘professions’ — law, med, health, media, culture, educ. Unis, arts, internet Cos. Big Corps, etc. – or hope to join so… They don’t collect rubbish, sweep the streets, lay bricks, run buses, check meters, work in an arms factory (what no ?) etc. etc.

    The split is of course muddy, what about a nurse who sees real suffering and knows what causes it?

    This group is steered by the \inclusion/ propaganda, which admittedly has had tremendous effect, LGTB ppl, immigrants, ppl from ‘other cultures’, ‘fatties’, the ‘disabled’ and more, are seduced by ‘equality’ and you be different you do you we love you and now you vote for us stuff.

    Setting aside immigration (a world-wide complex issue, Kalergi plan, exploitation of cheap labor, and more..) and other, many of the Group One adherents don’t perceive that they have been granted a kind of superiority status by ersatz moves.

    Some of the privileges of the Top Upper Classes (1850 or so > Europe) which guaranteed that their members could do as they wanted sexually, but the lower classes would be condemned, sometimes even put to death for sodomy, could be abrogated, as who cares what the deplorables do. That mech. of control could be given up with NO LOSS. And could gather votes! (About 4 – 15% depending on place, etc.)

    So, the whole storm around that aspect of private behavior was created to have ppl concentrate on non-economic issues, feel ‘empowered’ etc. and adhere to One Party.

    Plus, all big Ad Agencies, their clients, wanted, as usual, to segment the population so as to be able to target one or another group with ‘personalised ads’ in an open manner, with male homosexuals (often ‘richer’ and childless) being the first group on the radar.

    Group Two Trump…I have run out of steam for now …but you all get the picture.

    See posts above about Elon Musk, and others.

    So — One has to wrap ones head around the fact that the USA is run by billionaires (Musk, ready to hand out cash for votes), powerful financial conglomerates (Blackrock), influencers on the what used to be the boob tube and is now the ‘social media’ (Taylor Swift, who endorsed Harris, twice), with the votes tabulated (not counted) by rigged machines (Diebold, lovely name..), and corruption *hey babe* being the only trickle-down.

    Is civil war in the US, or a sorta quiet descent into chaos, or just hell on earth…to be the result?

    What happens next? The ‘Democratic’ pretense of the Uniparty as composed of two pol wings in struggles for ‘policies’ is dead (Kennedy, Gabbard, Musk, etc. supporting Trump) – note Harris has no ‘new’ support…This is all a charade, a show, as it has been for some time. Its function is to obscure what is going on behind the scene so to speak – that is, in the real world. 🙂 🙁

    Re. Police Escalate Britain’s War on Independent Journalism. (….)

    It is about scaring us into staying silent on Britain’s collusion in Israel’s genocide.

He has since been released on bail, with the police retaining £14,000 worth of camera equipment. He has not been charged.

    Martin Pope, a British Association of Journalists (BAJ) member, spent 20 years working for the Daily Telegraph and has also contributed photography to The Guardian, The New Yorker and The Sunday Times.

    On, the true size of countries.

    Yes ppl have a weird mental map of the world via the Mercator Projection.

    This site shows ‘true size’ (area, of course there are problems with that as well) and offers drag – n – drop comparisons.

    https://tinyurl.com/y8jkddss

    Another dimension that is pretty much hidden by conventional maps is — of course first, elevation (mountains, etc.), and at second I would put the agri-bio-tope (to make it very general), i.e. distinguishing between desert, forest, rain forest (still standing!), agri exploited, for what use (pasture, crop-land, intense agri, town using high energy, etc.) high up, rock, or under ice, coast land that exploits fishing, and many more. I have never seen any such categorisation.

    Maybe I’m just ignorant and it exists somewhere? It can’t be too difficult to make a first stab?

    My hunch is that such data just isn’t an avenue that Gvmts and Corps would like to have ‘out there.’

    re. prev. thread.

    Conversation. jbhb, the very appellation Human Ressources is nuts. (I once knew someone who taught a course on HR, absolute rubbish.) Ppl who are remunerated for their work, are, ppl / workers / employees / staff / and down the chart, the team in charge of repair, etc.

    This HR stuff is an added layer to ‘management’ that absorbs or grabs a good chunk of cash / profits, and engages in weird social engineering. Though one needs to distinguish between what used to be called Personnel Admin (in a large Co./Entity, in charge of payments, empl. records, deductions for pensions, etc.) which is (was) legit, who now call themselves *HR specialists.*

    U.S. Military Now Authorized to Kill Americans on U.S. Soil?

    New DoD Directive Drops.

    Just ahead, intriguingly, of the November elections, the U.S. military has granted itself permission to unleash “lethal force” on the civilian population in cases of “national security” emergency. (…)

    As the U.S. prepares for one of the most controversial and closely watched elections in its history, a concerning update to DoD Directive 5240.01 has quietly been put into effect. Reissued on September 27, 2024, this directive governs the Department of Defense’s (DoD) intelligence activities and now includes provisions authorizing lethal force in certain circumstances when assisting civilian law enforcement. While the directive forbids assassination, it opens the door to lethal interventions under “national security” conditions (…)

    This tweet from the top post caught my attention:

    China just stopped building their Massive Car-plants in Mexico because they’re afraid Trump is going to win the election.
    That means… China knows it will own Kamala Harris, while Trump will liberate us from China.

    Looking up Tim Walz … (I didn’t know he existed before being picked as VP)

    He is a China Fan, a China Friend.

    excerpt:

    As of 2016, Walz said he had visited China about 30 times, including for his honeymoon. Walz married his wife, Gwen, a fellow teacher, on June 4, 1994 — the fifth anniversary of China’s brutal repression of Tiananmen Square protests. 

    “He wanted to have a date he’ll always remember,” she told the Star-Herald before they wed. For their honeymoon, the couple led dozens of American students on a tour through China. The couple continued the educational trips for years through their own travel company. 

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tim-walz-china-views/

    Just the MSM, there is more out there, but as Idk about financial (etc.) ties, so silencio.

    Note > Harris pro-China, Trump anti-China, Biden pro-UKR, anti-Russia, Trump pro-Russia (in his first term, the strategy was clearly to ally w. Russia to prevent a R-Chin alliance..but then, sanctions..) etc.

    Trump, if elected, will ‘wind down’ – ‘stop’ the war in Ukraine.

    (That might be v. difficult, heh, whatever, we will see.) Possibly, something might be arranged, Idk.

    He will support Genocidal Is – ra – hell to the hilt, while searching for some ‘peace’ solution that won’t be found. (Right now he is blaming Iran for attacks on his life!) He will engage violently in the ME, BIG TIME.

    Biden cancelled the killing and control in Afghanistan, the supposed ‘war’ on ‘Islamist’ terrorism, to concentrate on, Against Russia, as Hard as possible, via the proxy war in Ukraine.

    Since 50 years, the Dems and Reps have played a game of being ‘against’ the attacks the US makes via one party vs. another of the duopoly … When Bush J. invaded Iraq the only ones who objected mildly were ‘rad’ Democrats. Hey, was Osama Bin Laden really a part of the attack on 9/11, they said?

    Prev. thread. WES posted:

    One can talk all day about the dollar, the Euro, the pound, the Yen, etc. and how different money/banking systems work.
    But when “TRUST” is finally lost, no paper/digital money/banking system will survive.

    Absolutely. In fact ‘trust’, historically, in many parts of Europe, say 1850 – 1950, approx. used ‘signed chits’ = a piece of paper ripped out of a notebook and stating I OWE X to Y, signed on this day, etc.

    OK in CH it was common, probably less elsewhere, it worked 95% (est.) of the time. One family member I had, b. 1920. was known for signing chits on the paper used to cover tables in restaurants. No problems ever arose. (Of course minor / small loss, distributed around, has to be accepted for that to work.)

    Even today in CH it is possible to get 0% interest loans with a simple promise to pay back, ok, is restricted to particular ppl/situations.

    Remember, the concept of “money” is a creation of the human mind, so it isn’t real. That piece of paper in your hand that you call money, is merely a symbol representing the idea of money. …..Only gold and silver can never lose their “TRUST” factor and are real.

    WES, my friend, I agree with u all the time, so let me argue here. Gold and silver don’t have intrinsic value, only what humans attibute to them. Gold seems like the ‘last rampart’ for store of value. But when ppl don’t have enough to eat, are starving and all the ‘valuables’ have been taken, what happens? Those who do still have some ‘assets’ can’t sell their gold jewels, gold coins (or silver, or antiques, or precious paintings..) in exchange for essential food.

    As happened in Occupied France, Holland, etc. in WW2. The Nazis had no interest in more gold, precious metals, and nor could/would they deliver food in exchange…

    On, at top post, Disturbing Health Stats.

    For sure dire in the USA and elsewhere as well. To take a radical view, from ONE angle.

    For Profit Health Care, without any community / state / group / input, legislation, control, to stop wild profiteering, will result in financial exploitation that veers between keeping people alive – so that they continue to pay – and killing them off – because they are no longer profitable.

    Insurance, as a middle man, makes out like a bandit, of course.

    Meanwhile, the ‘Health’ or ‘Death’ System is supported by all the employees, bosses, investors, regulators, active within it.

    Big Med Corps, Big Pharma, are getting paid, doing well, good dividends, etc. etc. They have tons of employees — doing fine, your neighbours!

    US Education is much the same. Higher Edu, College in the US — is expensive, paid for, gone into debt for, the aim being ‘getting in with the in crowd’ or ‘accreditation’ for this or that …. then Education becomes a Biz that sells diplomas, awards, etc.
    Big Edu has clients it has to pander to, mostly Parents who pay for their Teens, Young Adults, to get xyz experience, etc, so, well, learning ‘whatever’ goes by the board. The clients who pay have demands that must be met.

    The Dems are hanging onto power by rotten fraying ropes and feeble tropes, pushing some kind of propa’ hopium.

    The question is, why Joe Biden was hoisted to the Presidency. (Obama imho loathes Joe..?)

    Joe B. Prez, *all over the world*, it was understood that he was a stuttering, senile figurehead, so the US could be challenged, circumvented, even ignored, etc. Much (banking for ex.) could now be decided without the US. which was going down fast -> was the mantra. (BRICs part of that…story…)

    This created open chasms, opportunities, for all kinds of groups, including, speedily, Israel, who saw an oppo for lets just call it ‘expansion’ of their territory…

    Now the US is clumsily dealing with that loss of power, imho they are trying to support / appease / make deals with Isr. as they are terrified of ‘further war’ – gas prices in the US for ex. in view of the Nov. Prez. election.

    Robert Fico survived an assassination attempt. Even! wiki details it.

    Quote.

    He had run for office on an Eurosceptic platform, halting military aid to Ukraine and pushing for friendly relations with Russia, while criticising NATO and the United States.

    Re. Will Trump make it to the election? By Kim Rickards.

    OK article as ‘blanket’ commentary on what is touted on the MSM, allowed info, or ‘as of now’, accepted, supposedly, attested to, etc. Maybe not useful… What actually went down at the Butler Rally is not touched on.

    The T. Carlson vid – ‘Jack Poso’ doesn’t (imho) offer any new information, clues, insights, whatsoever, it is a ‘paste this and that’ together with hyped dramatic impact, anguished screams, jagged images > a scary !! mash-up.

    How to come to a more accurate account…. of what went down in Butler…more later or in some days…

    Robert Redfield (from post up top > Zero Hedge):

    “We know chronic disease is more than 75 percent of the country’s $4 trillion annual health care expenditure. Unfortunately, we have become a sick nation. We’re paying too much for chronic disease, and this must change. It’s time to make America healthy again.”
     
    https://tinyurl.com/bdrydnps

    Note in the Booby Kennedy vid in a prev. thread, he quotes Cov-19 vaccination rates re Haiti (under 2%) and the USA (87%) and sort-of compares ‘Covid times’ deaths (13 p.million in Haiti to 300 in the USA) to then conclude that Americans died of Covid because they are ‘sick’ – with diabetes, obesity etc. just as the CDC said (which he quotes.)

    And he is anti-vax? Was I missing something there? Just an ‘extract’ which does not give the full story or is somehow misleading?

    Redfield mentions ‘agency capture’ – Fed agencies that ‘regulate’ being ‘captured by Corps’ – well that is a step in the right direction, it points to ‘over-Gvmt’ (too much legislative + advisory power concentrated on a small node) combined with ‘subservient Gvmt’, aka a circle of *Corruption* between Gvmt. and Corps. It hints, suggests, that some ‘re-arrangement’ is needed. Yes…

    But then what?

    How to create it, in function of what ideals, principles, guiding lines?

    Crickets.

    Trump and Kennedy may have some plans, I of course don’t know about that. But it looks very much like “Make America Healthy Again” is a kind of feeble offshoot of MAGA, which is in itself merely a rallying slogan.

    UK Labour Party managers blocked the words “genocide” and “apartheid” in reference to Israel’s conduct against Palestinians from being used in brochures at a side event during its annual conference in Liverpool. 

    (…)

    The conference’s start was marked by pro-Palestine protests as over 15,000 people marched through the city on Saturday to express their opposition to Britain selling arms to Israel amid its ongoing siege and bombardment of Gaza.

    If Kamala Harris wins, she will push the U.S. towards communism, making things worse than Communist countries like North Korea or East Germany. – Elon Musk (from top post.)

    A neat quote because it shows the inversion, or just plain all-out crazed propaganda today in the US, which is completely divorced from any true ‘policy’ issues and the will, capacity, allowance, to implement them.

    A BizMan, Trump, is for protectionist tarifs, and pouring money into re-industrialisation.

    So he is a Statist – he isn’t talkin’ about entrepreneurship, new money makin’ schemes, liberalising legislation, etc. – he *seems* to be on the side of the workers – > So, he is the potential ‘Communist’ ..

    DT has never talked about nationalisation of Corps afaik. But if he wants to control food prices that is the only way, though it can be done avoiding the dreaded ‘nationalisation’ label with input – output (of material goods) and exchange controls.

    SKamala spews word salad (as one link at top shows) but the ‘aspirational BS’ is economically divorced from reality, it is Kumbaya, but very close to —under the radar— push for a globalist agenda, a control by global elites / and or / Top Corps. Not Communist.

    In fine, the whole Pol. Scene with Trump vs. Harris is a kind of Mad distraction, a show to provoke hate, stress, strife… with all economic and political issues just junked.

    This is a serious development, very worrisome, and highly indicative of a voluntary abandonment of neutrality.

    = CH to expel hundreds of Russian Scientists =

    https://swentr.site/news/604402-switzerland-expel-russian-scientists/

    This is about CERN (Centre Européen de Recherche Nucléaire), which is geographically in CH and France, but is administered in CH. It is an International Organisation, and run by a ‘Council’ of its members. It’s decision to stop collaboration with Russia (which took a long time to be voted, implemented, following the ‘invasion’ of UKR, and in any case is only partial, as some collab. will not only continue via JINR, but will be expanded..see link in F, for ex.) A 2/3 majority is needed to exclude some x entity, and that was reached.

    https://tinyurl.com/5n8w64pe

    In eng. – a mealy-mouthed communiqué from March 2022.

    https://home.cern/news/news/cern/cern-council-responds-russian-invasion-ukraine

    It has nothing to do with the CH Gvmt. which could, potentially, close CERN down, in the same way that NY State? / the Fed. US Gvmt. could force the UN headquarters in NY to close.

    Scientist published many screeds about their oppo to such measures. Russians are ‘top’ in Nuke Research (see similarly Space Explor./ in collab. with the USA), and Russia / CH have had v.good relations for a long time. Plus, Russia contributed large dollaris amounts to CERN. Result: CERN is now ‘missing’ about 40 million CHF to ‘update’ existing structures, etc., it has been weakened, etc.

    The “400” (inflated no. imho) employees will not be ‘expelled’. Some will loose their jobs, have their ‘contract’ terminated, and will go on to be hired elsewhere, bang off. Some will have to leave as they have no new ‘job’ and were under ‘temp’ status, and be hired right back in Russia/Belarus, etc. Some will get unemployment pay, spouse works in CH or F, want to stay, get a new job. Some will be re-hired at CERN under a different ‘contract, umbrella.’ Some will use their 2nd passport to fall out of R stats. Some will retire…etc. Such events are not that unusual.

    CH gave up its neutrality when it imposed sanctions (outside of UN mandated ones) on Russia, Feb. 2022.

    Yes CH is an insignificant postage stamp country, but wherever one is, it is important to understand what is really going on.

    Yeah..my parents said know… and the ‘second’ assassination attempt by the screw-loose Routh hiding in the bushes on the golf course is very convenient, as it is ‘new drama’ that shifts attention away from the first, carefully and well planned (though ultimately failed) attempt.

    On, vid prev. post.

    “Something stinks about the first Trump assassination attempt, and Joe Rogan and Matt Walsh can smell it.”

    https://tinyurl.com/rppd8vcs

    This is typical shoddy obfuscating blather, repeating ‘memes, factoids’ with no serious investigation, analysis, known elements or ‘facts’, summaries.

    It is like a 1930 gossip column, we heard Gladys was on the train at the same time! as Alan, the Lord, and she lost her suitcase, Gwendolyn was on the spot and the Lovers could not.. 🙂

    The shooter’s apartment was found professionally cleaned, with no silverware.

    Crooks live with his parents and there was no disturbance in his home. (Besides the fact that he may have left on the day with his father’s gun.) Where the ‘no silverware’ comes from is a mystery, in any case it would be irrelevant.

    A phone connected to the shooter was tracked moving between the FBI office and the shooter’s location multiple times.

    This rumor comes about because of some ‘tracking’ of some ‘persons’ phone which supposedly went from and to – some place near to an FBI office in Washington — and near to the Crooks residence. Lacking solid info, this is completely fanciful nonsense.

    Crooks came to the event with a rangefinder and nobody seemed to care. You have two reasons for a rangefinder: you’re trying to shoot something. Or you’re using it for golf. If you’re not playing golf, then you’re trying to shoot something.

    No. Crooks was stopped and checked and the fact he had a range finder was noted (so goes one version of events.) He was let in (in the morning afaik), of course at the time he had no backpack with gun. (He only got the backpack a few minutes before climbing on the roof.)

    Crooks was treated as a vaguely ‘suspicious’ person right from the start, either not seriously as in the usual run of things, ‘gotta do our job’ or because he was supposed to be ‘noticed’ but not apprehended, there was no cause.

    The shooter’s body was quickly cremated. No toxicology examination was released, leaving questions about possible drugs in the shooter’s system.

    Yes and yes, though drugs are not an issue here.

    So this guy, somehow or another, figures out how to get on the roof, take these shots. And then they k*ll him. Now, if he shot and hit Trump. If Trump didn’t turn his head at that pivotal moment where they talk about it and it’s a headshot, Trump is dead, the world’s in chaos, Rogan remarked.

    Maybe, sort of.

    (IMHO) The first three shots, 1, 2, 3. were shot by an expert shooter.

    Shot 1 grazed DT’s ear – the bad miss, the disaster.

    (The vital shot(s) would never have been left to Crooks, too many things could have gone wrong. Crooks is the stand-in, the patsy.)

    Shots 4,5,6,7,8 were, most likely, but not surely, from Crooks on the roof. They go rat-tat-tat, high speed, nervous..

    Note that these shots, aimed towards the podium, could not have been aimed at Trump, as Trump ducks down right after shot 3 (almost at the same time.)

    Whoever shot 4-8 was not aiming at Trump, he was no longer visible.

    This is a point many seem to have missed.

    Imho Crooks was told to shoot ‘when you hear the first shots’ or something like that. So he shoots in the general direction and kills Corey C. (and maybe wounds the two others, Idk.)

    Shots 9 and 10 were aimed at Crooks. Shot 9 was reportedly by a Butler swat-team guy, who hits Crook’s gun, which explains why it was found far away from him on the roof. Shot 10 by the Sniper Team on the Barn Roof who reportedly killed him. Crooks though was shot in the head from behind, so hard to judge, did he turn around etc. It is very possible imho that the Sniper Barn Roof team did not shoot at all.

    Rogan et al. are playing the same games as pols, narrative spins…

    On Martin Jay re. 9/11. Prev. thread.

    9/11: The American illness which still has no cure

    9/11, now 23rd anniversary, is a time marker where it became evident to many (others understood it before) that Gvmt./ MSM media narratives, spin / enforced by top figures in Gvmt. – Corps – plus Others at decisionary nodes, information nodes (even out of MSM) dominate effectively, smoothly.

    Scary fanciful narratives can be plugged, enforced, with alramist hype, etc. Groups in cahoots (including a ‘vital’ outpost, Is-ra-el) can just ‘do it’ and the ‘narrative’ is imposed, even for such an strange, extraordinary, event, as 9/11.

    Questioning the story, like the Architects xxx for 9/11 truth do, they are allowed to ‘publish’, ‘have a platform’ (journals, etc.) but remain ‘marginal’..

    Anyone who seeks any position of even minor power has to show allegiance to the story of the Evil Bin Laden and Murderous Muslim Terrorist with box cutters bringing down Huge Buildings etc.

    Like a cult, an imposed ‘fakey’ religion.

    Almost everyone knows it is nonsense.

    What is interesting though is that right aftrer 9/11 Putin supported the US’ anti-terrorist moves (maybe Thchenia happenings played a role)…

    From Chatham house.

    For Vladimir Putin, the atrocity of 9/11 meant that the United States now needed Russia. Putin was reportedly the first foreign leader to call George W. Bush afterwards, and subsequently facilitated US access to bases in Central Asia without a formal quid pro quo.

    The ‘9/11 moment’ in bilateral relations was very short-lived with Russia disappointed that the US did not, even in time, give more in return. The episode is a reminder that, at least at one time, Putin was open to a strong partnership with the US that respected Russia’s ‘cardinal interests’ – Russian pre-eminence in ‘former Soviet space’.

    zerosum, I live in CH. My post about the US Pres. Election was just my opinion from far off in response to WES.

    Imho the last Pres. election in the US was ‘manipulated’, stolen if you will, to put Biden in the top slot, knocking out Trump. (Not outlandish, exceptional, recalling ‘hanging chads’, too funny.. see all dodgy elections..)

    Most likely, this will happen AGAIN with candidate Kakala as super ‘brown person’ gleefully cackling, a legacy or stand-in for the BidAdmin. Engineered by some more varied cheat mechanisms. Idk what, how…

    In any case, imho, it doesn’t matter much, these ppl are figureheads, in hock, subservience, to their financiers, Big Corps, etc.

    Foreign policy differences are always put forward and milked to the hilt.

    Both candidates, their VPs, supporters, etc. all agree on Israel killing, getting rid of all Palestinians in Gaza and the W Bank (not stated openly, will take some more time..) as do weak challengers like R. Kennedy Junior, who are even more rabid on this point…

    Trump says he wants an end to the UKR conflict and that he could fix it pronto. Harris supports UKR (in its proxy and ordered war against Russia) more strongly than Biden, as far as I can make out.

    What will change re. UKR in case one or the other is elected? Imho nothing. The \war/ is run by others behind the scenes.

    WES posted, prev. thread. re. US elect.

    I think the deep state has greatly increased the “cheat” margin for the 2024 November election from the 2020 election to between 20 million and 40 million, and maybe even higher.
    They have achieved this via open borders and weaponizing all federal agencies to automatically register everyone to vote they have encountered since 2020. 
For example, all non-American green card holders are registered to vote.

    YES…..The ‘immigrant green card’ / illegal / paid / ‘bussed’, vote counts for a lot, afaik. Long time tradition in the US, emp. on the ‘paid’ votes. Estimatin’ the %, difficult…I may be way off the mark…

    Then there are the computer manpulations. How it is done idk, easy to implement I guess, what counts is how efficiently / stealthily it is carried out, and what happens afterwards.

    If it is known that any challenge will be rejected via ‘law fare’, it goes ahead. (See after BidAdmin election.)

    Harris is certainly behaving like she has been assured…

    THE FIX IS IN.

    The ‘We are a democracy – Save democracy’ blah is just a charade, fairy tales for the audience, who are now being driven into a cult-like corrals to support one figure or another.

    Absent any political prospective considerations re. e.g. energy, employment, health care, agri. management, schooling, foreign policy…what happens next?

    WES posted: (US elect.)

    The only question unanswered is how the deep state will steal the election.

    Yes. After some % of votes favoring Trump exceeds the ‘cheat’ scheme it becomes difficult. Then what happens, idk. The last election was (imho) won by Trump but manipulated, the Trump margin was not high enough. (Has to be, guessing 60 % or more.) That kind of move will happen again.

    Chart shows voters for XYZ, incl. non voters.

    https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Ft7tvunm1wfhd1.png

    Note, the non-voter % in 2020 was lowered to incredible figures, a clear sign of manipulation. (Imho.)

    US Pres. elections are a big show, and now openly don’t correspond to any ‘political’ preferences, opinions — Dems, Reps, Indies, etc. no longer can count on ‘tribes’ thought they pretend they still can, do.

    For ex. Cheney (who used to be loathed by the Dems) now supports Kakala. Those taking power (Mega Corps) are not bothering any longer with PR moves based on ‘pol. parties.’

    Back to Pavel Durov (link at top post from RT.)

    No news from F authorities, or him, which is normal, strife going on behind the scenes.

    Durov has hired a well-known Jewish lawyer. Bail was 5 million euros. (MSM, RT.)

    Yes, the complaint was a blueprint of a kind, as no perpetrators, suspects or any other entity, and no victims (temporarily judged to be so) were named, which in itself is very unusual.

    The ‘charge’ could fit any top person from any social media. As the RT article also sort of says.

    I’m now quite sure Macron knew nothing about the pending arrest. The complaint was brought up first by Judge X following a complaint from the OFMIN => Protecting Minors agency.

    (RT has a different descr. – generalities about cyber criminals – but that comes from a Gen. Porsecutor in Paris, Beccuau, who is making blanket remarks.)

    Macron’s statement, justifiying giving Paul du Rove a F passport, and declaring F has an independent judiciary are more or less ‘correct’ – Macron is in deep trouble, which in part explains why various anti-Macron actions, spearheads, etc. are happening. Manu’s statement sounds very self-defensive. (Macron tried hard to get F up into ‘we are the new tech scene’ .. Superior to the clumsy Germans with their pollutin’ industry, etc.)

    Looking at Pavel’s Instagram, as not inscribed, I can only see the first two pages, all of them feature photos of only him, in various stages of dress / undress, posing in front of various backgrounds. No GFs, no kiddos, no biz partners, no food, no spectacular scenery, no glorious sunsets …

    He is a kind of self-made, deliberately constructed, Icon of the Internet. Of course there is nothing wrong with that. Over time, it has made him an enemy for some, and idol for others, and complicates life…At some point in time, a W hero, as “Putin shut down the free-speech VKontakte” and then a dangerous cyber mogul, as allowing images of genocide in Isr., Ukr, etc.

    His private life is also assailed by one arrest warrant (CH), but that has not much to do with ‘free speech’, except that some may want to profit from an attack on him.

Arrested under dubious circumstances at Frankfurt Airport on October 13, 2023, Dr. Füellmich’s case has raised serious concerns regarding the legality of his detention and the integrity of the judicial process. Of the initial 18 charges made against Füellmich, only one remains regarding personal loans.

    John Day posted ‘news’ –

    UAE Vaccinated 460,000 Children in Gaza Against Polio – Reports (“Live-attenuated-virus” oral Polio vaccine has become the leading cause of Polio in recent decades.)

    What the last sentence means is another story, not for now…

    Hmm? While many children in Gaza have lost parents, family members, sometimes all of them, their homes, their schools, their toys, their friends, any security whatsoever, even lost some of their limbs, not to mention *all those who have been killed outright?*

    And the survivors are desperately hungry and dirty, scrabbling about (lack of water)?

    Vaccinating them against Polio is somehow a priority or something to report positively about? Hmm.. so there are still about half a million live children in Gaza?

    Russia stopped international adoptions of its children (Russki babies, kiddos were v. popular in the US as they are mostly ‘white’ and ‘cute’..) in 2012.

    On January 1st, 2012 Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, signed through the Russian Parliament a law that stated that people foreign to Russia were no longer allowed to adopt Russian children. No one knows the real reason why the Russian Parliament made this decision….

    Russia Bans Foreign Adoption

    Jan 2013. Specifically mentions US citizens.

    — Russian Federal law No 272-FZ remains in place banning the adoption of Russian children by U.S. citizens. —

    https://ru.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/child-family-matters/adoption/

    ‘Reuters Investigates’ published a report in 2013, a must read, imho only scratched the surface.

    It was read world-wide, alarmed many. Basically, it lifts part of the veil of what happens to adopted – ‘sent away’ – and other – children in the USA.

    Title: The Child Exchange. Inside America’s underground market for adopted children.
