I'm Not Bluffing this Time

 Game Theorists,


  George Galloway interviewed Scott Ritter this past weekend. Ritter said that direct strategic warfare between the US/NATO and Russia was narrowly averted last Friday.

  ​Yesterday Gilbert Doctorow argued that Ritter had overstated his case for the risk of rapidly escalating war, based somewhat upon Putin-psychology, but not considering that there might have been further threats to Russia, not known to bystanders.  Information and disinformation   https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2024/09/17/information-and-disinformation/

​  Has Russia Deployed Its Nuclear Subs to Britain & USA?​                                                                                                                                                                                    Yes. In response to handing long-range missiles to Ukraine, on September 12th, Russia deployed its Project 885 “Yasen” Class subs with Zircon Hypersonic Missiles. As I have said, I have met with members of Congress and they said the risk of war was with China – not Russia. I have explained that they are being pointed in the opposite direction so the Neocons have free reign.
I do not think that the press is telling the full story here and how the West is pushing Russia to war. Putin has been the ONLY adult in the room.​

​  Negotiate with Moscow to end the Ukraine war and prevent nuclear devastation​, by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Donald Trump Jr. 
​  The New York Times reported Thursday that the Biden administration is considering allowing Ukraine to use NATO-provided long-range precision weapons against targets deep inside Russia. Such a decision would put the world at greater risk of nuclear conflagration than at any time since the Cuban missile crisis.
​  At a time when American leaders should be focused on finding a diplomatic off-ramp to a war that should never have been allowed to take place, the Biden-Harris administration is instead pursuing a policy that Russia says it will interpret as an act of war. In the words of Vladimir Putin, long-range strikes in Russia “will mean that NATO countries — the United States and European countries — are at war with Russia.”​

  Probably nothing...  Secret Service Director Makes Cryptic Reference To Coming 'Geopolitical Event, Kinetic Conflict' That Could Endanger US Leaders
​  Ronald Rowe Jr., the Secret Service's acting director, when giving a briefing Monday from West Palm Beach, described the challenges of protecting Trump and lessons learned going forward. While critics have pointed out the glaring failures that would allow two near-miss assassination attempts on the former president and Republican nominee carried out a mere two months apart, he defended his agency, saying it had put in place the "highest levels of protection" as directed by Biden, which consisted of "counter sniper team elements" and "local tactical assets."
​  The Acting Secret Service Director then said: "There could be another geopolitical event that could put the United States into a kinetic conflict or some other- uh- some other issue, that may result in additional responsibilities and protectees of the Secret Service."​

Explosives Reported Near Trump Rally On Long Island As Police Hunt For Suspect
​  Officers conducting a routine K9 sweep discovered an explosive device in a vehicle parked near the rally venue. The report comes just three days after a would-be assassin was arrested at Trump's Palm Beach golf club.
​  According to the Daily Mail, the driver of the car with explosives ran into the woods. According to Lalino’s report on X, the suspect bolted from the car, leaving law enforcement scrambling to locate him.​  “No one saw if he had anything on him, they just saw him take off running,” one source reportedly told Lalino.​   https://www.zerohedge.com/political/explosives-reported-near-trump-rally-long-island-police-hunt-suspect

​  'Deep State Knows It Cannot Cheat Kamala In' - Martin Armstrong Fears Washington's Plan To "Trap Trump Into War"
​  Martin Armstrong predicted less than a month ago that there would be another assassination attempt on Donald Trump’s life, and the Deep State was going to do everything possible to start a war with Russia...  All the chaos, debate fraud and push for World War III comes down to the Deep State knows it cannot cheat enough to put Kamala Harris into the White House in November.
​  Forget the phony polls where they all say Kamala is running neck and neck with Trump.
​  Armstrong says his “Socrates” computer program shows Kamala’s real approval rating is around 10%, and all his computer models say Kamala is going to lose big in November no matter how much they cheat. Armstrong says, “Just about everybody in politics looks at Socrates now because its track record on politics has been phenomenal for 30 years.  They know what is going on.”
​  So, is the Biden Administration panicking with this second clumsy attempt to assassinate Trump while playing golf?  Is our own government trying to kill Trump because they know they cannot win?​ Armstrong says, “I believe so. . . . Look, these people have been warmongers. . . . This is their power."​ "They have gotten so close to destroying Russia, which is their end goal here.  Handing long-range missiles to Ukraine, this is like hiring somebody to kill your spouse and then saying, well, he shot, I didn’t" ​... "Trump and RFK Jr. are against war...​ My concern here is they need to create war before January, if not even before the election.  I think this is what all this stuff is about with the long-range missiles to shoot into Russia.  If Trump does get in, they have to trap him into war.​ The whole nonsense about Russia Gate and all the rest was because Trump is against war...​ The neocons called Trump Putin’s puppet because Trump will not engage in war against Russia.  This is what this is all about.”

​  Not Just 'Russia, Russia, Russia': Hillary Demands Criminal Charges For Americans "Engaged" In "Propaganda"
Amid claims that Trump is a "danger to this country and the world," Hillary Clinton - the original sinner of 'Russia, Russia, Russia'-propaganda - has called for anyone spreading "misinformation" to be criminally charged as a "better deterrence" ahead of the election.​..
​.."I think it's important to indict the Russians, just as Mueller indicted a lot of Russians who were engaged in direct election interference and boosting Trump back in 2016.​  But I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda. And whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence, because the Russians are unlikely, except in a very few cases, to ever stand trial in the United States," Clinton told Maddow.​   https://www.zerohedge.com/political/not-just-russia-russia-russia-hillary-demands-criminal-charges-americans-engaged

​  Gilbert Doctorow,  ‘Dialogue Works’: edition of 18 September 2024
  To my mind it is essential to mention that the Deep State, which, as these gentlemen say, is normally a force for continuity in the government of any of the Great Powers as they deal with the complexities of the world, lost all balance of skills and judgment back in 2002 when it was gutted by Vice President Dick Cheney. At that time, in the wake of 9/11 and in the midst of the War on Terror, Cheney carried out a purge of the State Department and of the intelligence services with a view to making them highly partisan, which is to say, bastions of Neocon thinking.
​  At this same time, whatever objectivity in the CIA and similar that one might expect from lifelong bureaucrats, was destroyed when whole swathes of that bureaucracy were forcibly retired, ostensibly to replace now superfluous expertise (Sovietologists, Russianists) with much needed expertise on current threats (Middle East experts).  The situation was made still worse by the decision of Cheney and his colleagues to hasten the process of acquiring expert advice by outsourcing a large proportion of all intelligence work to commercial suppliers working from Open Sources and therefore needing no high- level security clearances. It is not that the new contractors lacked skills, because many of them actually had been Government employees before being made redundant. What matters is that the experts hired within the context of short-term contracts necessarily tailor their reports to the known desires of those signing their contracts in order to get extensions and new contracts. Net net: what they provide in their reports is what they know the Bosses want to hear, whether or not it is objectively correct.​   https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2024/09/18/dialogue-works-edition-of-18-september-2024/

​  Israel’s Mossad planted explosives in 5,000 pagers imported by Lebanon’s Hezbollah: sources
Exploding pagers used in apparent Israeli attacks in Lebanon were made in Hungary, Taiwanese firm says

​  Israel’s Mossad spy agency planted explosives inside 5,000 pagers imported by Lebanese group Hezbollah months before Tuesday’s detonations that killed 12 people, a senior Lebanese security source and another source told Reuters.
​  Lebanese health Minister Firass Abiad said on Wednesday that two children were among the 12 killed.
​  The operation, with a trail running from Taiwan to Budapest, was an unprecedented Hezbollah security breach that saw thousands of pagers explode across Lebanon, wounding nearly 3,000 people, including many of the group’s fighters and Iran’s envoy to BeirutExplosions were also reported in Damascus, Syria.
​  The Lebanese security source said the pagers were from Taiwan-based Gold Apollo, but the company said in a statement it did not manufacture the devices. It said they were made by a company called BAC – based in the Hungarian capital – which has a licence to use its brand.​..
​..The senior Lebanese source said the devices had been modified by Israel’s spy service “at the production level”.
​  “The Mossad in​serted a board inside of the device that has explosive material that receives a code. It’s very hard to detect it through any means. Even with any device or scanner,” the source said.
​  The source said 3,000 of the pagers exploded when a coded message was sent to them, simultaneously activating the explosives.
Another security source told Reuters that up to three grams of explosives were hidden in the new pagers and had gone “undetected” by Hezbollah for months.  ​

​  Moon of Alabama, Israel's Pager Attack
​  Back in February Hizbullah had urged its affiliates to avoid smart-phones, which can be controlled by foreign intelligence services, and to instead use pagers to receive text messages and alarms when necessary.
​  Israel must have recognized that suggestion as a chance to infiltrate the supply chain for these communication tools.
​  It somehow managed to manipulate pager shipments to Lebanon some of which would be acquired by Hizbullah and its affiliates. Yesterday specific encoded messages were sent to the manipulated pagers. Some moments later they started to blow up. Eleven people were killed and some 4,000 were wounded.
​  Not all people killed or wounded were members of Hizbullah. Pagers are also used by emergency and volunteer servicesWestern media avoid to call this attack a terrorist operation. But just ask yourself how they would describe the attack if this had happened to the other side of the conflict.
​  Pagers are not an exclusive means of Hizbullah. The attack was indiscriminate. The explosions happened in many situations of daily life - during visits in shops (vid), in driving cars in the middle of traffic, near to bystanders including children.
​  The pagers were sold under the brand name of Gold Apollo, a Taiwanese company specialized in such devices. But, according to the company, the devices sold in Lebanon were manufactured under license by the Hungarian company BAC Consulting KFT.
​  Lowkey writes:
​  The CEO and founder of BAC is Cristiana Arcidiacono-Barsony, who describes herself as a strategic adviser in internal affairs with international experience in the Middle East.
According to her academic profile she studied at SOAS and LSE universities in London.
​  The above points to an MI-6 involvement in the affair.

​  Elijah Magnier reports (vid) that the delivery of the pagers had been held up for several months by customs in a Middle Eastern countryThe time was allegedly used by Israeli services to dismantle the devices and to replace their original Lithium-Ion batteries with ones which included explosives and birdshot to create a maximum of damage. The electronics of the devices were manipulated to trigger delayed explosions after the pager received a certain coded message.
​  This very sophisticated operations must have cost millions and must have involved a quite large number of specialists.
It would have been ideal for Israel to trigger such a mayhem as part of a general attack on Hizbullah. It would have increased Hizbullah's time to implement its defense plans.​ To trigger the attack outside of a large scale war context is a rather limp maneuver. Most of the wounded will soon recuperate and return to their duties.​

Hezbollah Begins First Cross-Border Attacks Since Pager Blasts; EU Condemns 'Indiscriminate' Israeli Op
​  After about 4pm Beirut time on Wednesday, Hezbollah announced that it has begun its first cross-border attacks on Israeli military border posts since the pager explosions. This could be the beginning of major retaliatory operations which slide into a third Lebanese war.
​  At least 2,750 people total were injured in the Tuesday pager attacks, including some civilians, while some reports dubiously claimed as many as 4,000 were wounded when on Tuesday pager devices widely used by the Lebanese paramilitary group blew up after apparently being triggered by an external signal sent by Israeli intelligence.​

​  New Wave Of Blasts Rock Beirut For 2nd Day: Hand-Held Radios Explode, Over 300 Wounded
​  Israel has reportedly detonated hand-held personal radios used by Hezbollah members, the emerging reports say. The prominent regional news source War Monitor writes "Communications devices that exploded across Lebanon moments ago are hand-held radios, different to pagers that exploded on Tuesday, Security sources informed me."
​  Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV is also confirming wireless devices exploded in the hands of those carrying them in several Lebanese areas. There are reports of at least nine new fatalities and over 300 injured in this second day of explosions.​.. This comes after the group said it would be checking and inspecting all externally shipped-in electronic devices, considering it's clear at this point the pagers were manipulated by Israeli intelligence.​..
..War correspondent Elijah Magnier says this appears a prelude to a major Israeli military operation in Lebanon: "Normally in every war, the first attack is on a command-control base, and here the Israelis are attacking the control, which is the communication. Crippling communication is vital in any war because it is the main spine of the [enemy] army."​   https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/new-wave-blasts-rock-beirut-2nd-day-hand-held-radios-personal-devices-explode

​  Israel's War Cabinet Greenlights Offensive War Against Hezbollah, Sends Elite Brigade North
​  As many suspected and feared, this deadly two-day Israeli covert operation to blow up Hezbollah pagers, walkie-talkies, and small electronic devices was but preparation for a likely Israeli military ground operation in southern Lebanon. It appears war is here. According to breaking news wires:
​  Israeli cabinet has given PM Netanyahu and Defence Minister Gallant the authorization to undertake military action against Hezbollah -- even if it leads to an all-out war.
So far the second day of explosions across Beirut and Lebanon have led to 14 killed and 450 wounded, but the casualty toll could be much higher.​

​  Overshadowed in the news cycle today... Yemen’s hypersonic ballistic missile rocks Israel’s defenses
Yemen's daring strike on Tel Aviv not only exposed the cracks in Israel’s defenses but also the political vulnerabilities of the occupation state, challenging the status quo and signaling that Sanaa is now a regional force to be reckoned with.
​  In the early hours of Sunday, 15 September, a Yemeni hypersonic ballistic missile pierced through the air, striking at the heart of Tel Aviv. Launched on the Mawlid, or birthday of Prophet Muhammad, the missile traveled over 2,000 kilometers, evading the collective defense systems of Israel, the US, and its Arab allies.
​..This latest attack by Yemen’s Ansarallah-aligned armed forces “was carried out with a new hypersonic ballistic missile...
​..Regarding the Israeli occupation army’s denial that the missile that hit Tel Aviv was hypersonic, Assad confirmed that “the Republic of Yemen has developed military technologies and entered the path of technological industrialization, including hypersonic missile systems, in addition to drones and other things.”
​  On Netanyahu’s intention to expand the battle with Lebanon, the Ansarallah official charges that those “threats come from a position of weakness” and warns the Israeli prime minister that “the next will be worse for your forces and settlers.”​

​  Charles Hugh Smith,  2024, A Year of No Significance​, Looking back, 2024 may well be viewed as insignificant compared to what lies ahead.                                        That 2024 could be a year of no significance does not compute given that what's being touted as the most important election in American history is 2024's landmark event, but in the focus of the longer lens of history, it may not matter as much as we expect.
​  If the election wasn't enough, the all-time stock market highs are the cherries on top.
​  The issue here isn't the people or the politics or the policies; it's the system itself reaching its limits, having exhausted all potential for the scale of change needed to stave off collapse. To better understand this historical context, we turn to Ray Huang's meticulous study of Chinese history, 1587, A Year of No Significance: The Ming Dynasty in Decline:
​  "The year 1587 may seem to be insignificant; nevertheless, it is evident by that time the limit for the Ming dynasty had already been reached. It no longer mattered whether the ruler was conscientious or irresponsible, whether his chief counselor was enterprising or conformist, whether the generals were resourceful or incompetent, whether the civil officials were honest or corrupt, or whether the leading thinkers were radicals or conservatives--in the end they all failed to reach fulfillment."​

​  Nassim Taleb: People Aren't Seeing The Real De-Dollarization
​  De-dollarization might seem like a wild conspiracy theory, but it is happening. Countries worldwide are trying to limit their exposure to the greenback, and the dollar’s clout is slowly ebbing.
​  No, the dollar isn’t on the verge of collapse due to a major trauma. It’s more like death by a million papercuts.
Nassim Taleb, best known for his book The Black Swan, said in a post on X that “people are not seeing the real de-dollarization in progress.”
​  He pointed out that global transactions are still generally labeled in dollars “as an anchor currency.”  
“But central banks (particularly BRICS) have been storing, that is putting their reserves, in Gold.”
In other words, the dollar still serves as the primary medium of exchange, but more and more countries are turning to gold as a store of value

  ​A Midwestern Doctor,  What Happens When a Hospital Vaccine Injures You?  The tragic but insightful story of Alexis Lorenze
  As I was drifting to bed last night, a lot of people began contacting me about a disaster that was unfolding in California.
​  What I find astounding about this case is that within minutes of looking into the limited information that was available, I was relatively certain of what happened, and now that her basic labs were posted online, it was indeed what happened. However, as best as I can tell, a fairly straightforward (conventional) diagnosis was missed and Alexis Lorenze has instead been put at risk of a life threatening injury.
​  I was initially in disbelief this was possible (and to an extent still am), but people directly connected to the situation confirmed this indeed is the case. As this case is an instructive example of medical blindness, I felt it would be helpful to share what happened.
image.png
​  Medical Blindness
A major in medicine is that doctors are frequently unable to recognize conditions which:
​  Create cognitive dissonance for them (e.g., by forcing them to acknowledge they hurt a patient or accept that the guidelines their medical tribe gave them are flawed).
They were not taught to identify to recognize (as there is so much complexity to a human being, the majority of physicians lack the innate capacity to see things they weren’t taught to filter for or the willing to seriously consider the significance of things which do not make sense within their cognitive map of the world).
​  Because of this, physicians frequently fail to recognize a pharmaceutical injury is occurring or believe a patient who claims an injury was linked to a pharmaceutical (particularly since medical education conveniently does not train doctors to recognize these injuries and simultaneously trains them to believe anything patients report that is not backed by science is “anecdotal” and most likely a spontaneous coincidence). This in turn leads to the tragic phenomenon of “medical gaslighting” (discussed further here) something many patients understandably find infuriating.​..
​..Much of the credibility of modern medicine arises from the mythology that it rescued us from the dark ages of infectious disease with vaccinations (when in reality that decline was entirely due to improved public sanitation). Because of this, attacking vaccination directly attacks a doctors identity and social status.
​  As a result, the medical profession will frequently go to extraordinary lengths to defend a bad vaccine they’ve endorsed—with the COVID-19 vaccines being one of the most absurd examples I’ve seen in my lifetime, but not by any means the first time this has happened.​..
​..Sat, Sept 14, 2pm: Hematologist [whose page has since been deleted] tells Alexis they will not treat her any further unless she is up-to-date on her vaccines. They gave her tetanus, meningitis and pneumonia all at once. She has had ZERO V’s with the exception of when she was a baby. 2 V’s in her left arm and 1 V in her right. Within 10-minutes post vaccines, she couldn’t move her arms and was blind in both eyes.
  1. ​  Within 10 minutes of the 3 vaccines which were given all at the same time, Alexis went temporarily blind in both eyes, had a locked jaw, began vomiting and then things went horribly downhill from there...
    ​..At this point, the hospital did nothing except put her on pain meds and benadryl, and eventually she put out a plea for help on TikTok to save her from the hospital because she was worried she was going to die that subsequently went viral (hence why I was contacted).
    ​  Without knowing anything beyond what was in that video, my immediate assessment was:
    ​  This is most likely immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) a condition where the immune system attacks its own platelets. This condition is quite rare (every year 3-4 out of 100,000 people develop it) and unlike most vaccine injuries, significant literature exists linking it to vaccination (including for the COVID-19 vaccines), which I believe is in part due to ITP being fairly rare so awknowledging it doesn’t disrupt the “safe and effective” narrative​...

  2. ​..Given that ITP is a known complication of stem cell transplants, it is again very strange that the hospital (a premier stem cell transplant center) did not recognize an extreme case of the disorder.
    Once her limited labs were obtained, it was clear she had ITP, and that at least at the time, there was not a significant issue with her kidneys.​..                                                    ..Note: in her medical records, there are also numerous correspondences indicating that a nurse reported this critical platelet lab value to the doctor.
    Additionally, beyond it being apparent from looking at her, her lab work showed she was having a lot of clots breaking down in her body...​                                                        ..Since that time, this story has gone viral, Steve Kirsch sent his team to the hospital to help her and two subsequent interviews were conducted which showed how much Alexis is suffering. In the first interview (which you can view here), they shared a few key points:
    She came in hoping for a blood transfusion, but was told she could not have any more treatment unless she received the vaccines.
    •The hospital has given conflicting messages about what vaccines she received (even though the nurse clearly told them which ones were being given).
    Alexis’s entire body is covered with the same hematomas you can see on her face and her body feels as though it is inflated. Additionally, she is in severe pain.
    The doctors have not treated her well (she claims some laughed at her, while another one stated they had never seen anything like this before) and that when she’s hit the call button for basic things she needs, it’s taken hours for nurses to get to her.
    The hospital is convinced this could not have been due to the vaccine, and instead was due to a Parvovirus infection (which a PCR test was positive for). Given that all or her symptoms started 10 minutes after the vaccines…that’s a bit of a stretch but no different from what Suzanne Humphries experienced.
    The tried to transport her out of the hospital but were unable to as she does not have the insurance to get care at another facility.​..                                                                  ..Conclusion
    ​  I am very hesitant to ascribe motives to people when I can’t read their minds, but in this case, assuming the facts as presented are true, my best guess is that the hospital’s response to Alexis was a combination of fear (especially once she mentioned “malpractice”), uncertainty and paralysis over her situation (e.g., the hematologist who pushed the vaccines on her disappeared), and provides an excellent illustration of why, if you have the choice, smaller rural hospitals rather than academic ivory towers are often much better to go to.
    ​  One of the more telling aspects of this story was the hospital threatening to sue Steve Kirsch for publishing Alexis’s medical records (which legally they can’t do), which in turn illustrates that the hospital’s focus is on protecting itself rather than the patient.​..                                                                                                                        ..One of the greatest challenges in getting people to believe vaccine injuries is that “evidence” for them doesn’t exist or it’s hard to appreciate the suffering the person is going through. What makes this case unique is that it visually apparent something is wrong (which hence allowed it to go viral) and the temporal relationship is almost impossible to denyWhat’s important to remember is that in almost all vaccine injuries, that is not the case (which again illustrates why they frequently get swept under the rug).​..
      ​..There is often minimal to no safety net available to you (e.g., you can’t sue anyone and the Federal compensation programs almost never pay out to the injured). Because of this, those injured are often forced to go to online fund raising platforms for their medical expenses (which often doesn’t works). In turn, one of the particularly cruel things that happened during the vaccine roll out is that Gofundme started deleting fundraisers for the COVID vaccine injuries because a lot of them went viral and they didn’t want to “spread vaccine hesitancy” by making people aware severe injuries were occurring.​

   Lawsuit Takes on Federal Campaign to Silence Vaccine Injury Claims
​  The New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA) has taken significant legal action by amending its complaint in the ongoing Dressen, et al. v. Flaherty, et al. case. This action challenges the alleged collusion between various federal entities and social media platforms aimed at stifling the voices of individuals claiming injuries from Covid vaccines. The complaint underscores a pervasive campaign spearheaded by agencies including the White House, the CDC, and the Surgeon General’s Office. These bodies are accused of pressuring social media giants to dismiss and discredit as “misinformation” the personal accounts and communications within private online groups of those affected by vaccine side effects.​   https://reclaimthenet.org/lawsuit-takes-on-federal-campaign-to-silence-vaccine-injury-claims

Multiple Perspectives

 Watching History,


How do human societies act in concert? Might there be other ways to act in concert? Who decides? How is "their" decision manifested and carried out?

  Whether we are facing a tight-spot in the availability of crude oil, which production has not risen to the level of late 2018 yet, I will put forward that exponential growth of real economy cannot continue forever in a finite universe, let alone on a finite planet, which concept has been clearly laid out in a way pertinent tour modern industrial economy since M. King Hubbert predicted a peak in US oil production around 1971-1972, which came to pass as predicted.
  In 10th grade Sociology class in 1974, I was exposed to the projections of the 1972 computer modeling of The Limits To Growth.    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Limits_to_Growth   This carried the projections of exponential growth of human physical economy into the estimations of natural resource availability, costs of extraction, and consequences of environmental pollution and degradation, all of which were big topics in those days of Arab Oil Embargo and air and water pollution destroying rivers and lungs across the world. I held that to be a likely scenario, as did most people I talked to at the time, though it fell into disfavor under the Reagan administration, as limitless-growth was espoused by that "great communicator".
  Societies across the planet were invigorated to push economic, and especially financial growth, from that point forward. China's "Little Helmsman" Deng Xiaopeng, reportedly too The Limits To Growth very seriously, and charted a rise to the top for Chinese industrial economy, within the projections it presented. China has followed that course successfully.
  Presume with me, if you will, that global net oil (and liquids) production did peak at the end of 2018, and that the "Repo-Crisis" of Summer-Fall 2019 was a result of the end of real-economic-growth, which put a crimp in global finance, so that the world's largest financial institutions KNEW that they could not trust each other on overnight loans, backed by US Treasuries. BlackRock, the largest asset-management company in the world, was enlisted to come up with a plan for economic-continuity, which involved "going direct", or just pumping money into the large financial institutions from the US and other national treasuries and central banks. This was done under cover-of-COVID-pandemic-lockdowns, which delayed inflation in the real-economy until the real economy opened up again a year and a half later, at which time money-supply had grown, and the quantity of real-goods had decreased, both driving price inflation. Asset inflation had been even greater, and is a Ponzi scheme waiting to collapse, but is not counted in "inflation".
  So far, the mechanisms of narrative control and continuity of the economic system, which feeds, shelters and protects us, still hold. It is clear that the Ponzi-finance scheme cannot continue much longer, and will have to re-set to something much closer to concordance with real-economy. 
  This economic-financial reset is traditionally managed through throwing societies into existential wars, so that one side survives and the other is vanquished, while all of the remaining people are exhausted and traumatized, and become accustomed to just-following-orders. Most of us want to work this some other way this time, and there is enough consciousness of the situation that some of us keep pressing the question. this pointing out of the actual facts is causing problems for the control-narratives of the elites. They are not grabbing and are not getting full traction. Something like 20% of people keep calling out their lies, so even the 70% of followers are a little uneasy, and the 10% of undecided people are leaning towards reality. What are the elites to do? Is there an alternate Plan-B which will get better traction, and help them maintain their ownership?
(Let me add that I am watching BRICS+ developments and Trump/Kennedy developments, but will vote for Palestinian Human Rights via Jill Stein MD's candidacy again.)

  Simplicius,  Measures Of Control
What is the greatest fear for the controlling archons of our world?
  The answer is: the plebs discovering how flimsy the substrata of their control, the machinery of it all, really is. The elites have worked tirelessly to establish the illusion of a grand, impermeable monolith—that irreducibly oppressive panopticon of unspoken ‘rules’ and social limits, Overton windows, and statutory ley lines known only to them and meant to deliberately obfuscate us—a towering obelisk emblemizing the totality of their control. They do this through fear, social programming, and mass media hypnosis triggering traumas on our grasping minds wired through perpetual distress and wrapped in agonizing tension. They erect labyrinths of legal codices to browbeat us into submission with the inexhaustible weight of their esoteric jurisprudence. All meant to convey a sense of crushing weight, to endow us with a futility of purpose in the face of such colossal structures...
..There is no better proof of Weinstein’s opening thesis than the fact that they now tried to take Trump out again for a second time in as many months. It’s clear that Trump terrifies them for the very reason that he threatens to potentially undo decades of established secret agreements, the filaments of that diaphanous Order feigning essentiality, yet whose delicate fibers are a pluck away from being unseamed before the world's eyes.
  Such a development would open up an unprecedented Pandora’s box. The elites rely on the omnipresence of their Great Illusion—a show that must be maintained at all times, all costs, and across the entire spectrum. To allow a single crack to form in the facade would entail a spidering outward, a runaway fracture leading to the collapse of their whole foundation. That is because if people in a single country under their control can be allowed to witness the lie for what it is, there would be no turning back—the populations of every other nation would immediately begin to question the rationale of their own systems, since they are all part and parcel to the matrix of the whole.
  Imagine if Trump really did abolish the IRS as he’s threatened to do, long shot that it is. Once Europe sees the US continuing not only to function, but perhaps even thrive like never before—without a single income tax collected—it would spark the end for the regime. Multiply this outward to every other of our modern controlling paradigms. The Central Banks, for instance: abolish one bank in The System, and the rest fall like dominos. The elites’ greatest fear is for humanity to be given glimpse of even a single working example of life outside their prison-like construct—that same Byzantine codex of esoteric multinational agreements.

  Jonathan Turley,  With Fact-Checks Like These, How Does Truth Stand a Chance?
“You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts.”
  That famous line from Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-N.Y.) remains a virtual mantra for politicians and pundits. Yet, judging from the presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, we have officially entered the post-truth political era.
  ABC News has been widely criticized for the bias of the two moderators Linsey Davis and David Muir. Even liberal outlets acknowledged that the two journalists seemed inclined to “fact check” only Trump. In the meantime, they allowed clearly false statements from Harris to go unchallenged.
  Three of the unchecked claims are being widely disseminated by supporters, including some in the media:
“Crime is down under the Biden-Harris administration.“
“Harris has not supported transgender operations for undocumented migrants.”
Harris does not support the right to abortion in the final three months of a pregnancy.

  Kyle Becker:  ABC News whistleblower swears under penalty of perjury that the Kamala Harris campaign dictated the terms of the questions during the presidential debate.
  Furthermore, the Harris campaign insisted upon live "fact checking" of Donald Trump during the debate. ABC News "fact checked" Trump at least five times and did not fact check Harris once, despite the Democratic candidate telling provable lies, such as the "fine people hoax" and the "bloodbath hoax." The whistleblower signed the affidavit in New York and has sent a copy to Speaker Mike Johnson, the notarized document states. The unnamed individual states that he or she is in possession of secret recordings that will prove that ABC News rigged the presidential debateABC News committed election interference. This is a MASSIVE scandal.

“Donald Trump is looking increasingly likely to be the winner of the presidential race. I have long held that the globalists will wrap up an economic collapse or a world war and throw it in Trump’s lap.” — Brandon Smith
  This time, the shooter lives to do some ‘splainin’. Do you wonder if he might get around to ‘splainin’ his role with the shady non-governmental orgs (NGOs) supported by the CIA who enabled his travels to Ukraine and his efforts there recruiting global mutts to fight for the Nazi-ish Azov Battalion? Perhaps he might rat-out actual government officials who assisted him in his colorful misadventures?...
..Perhaps we’ll find out — if nothing fatal happens to befall Mr. Routh while in custody — how exactly he learned Mr. Trump would be on the links that afternoon? The candidate’s round of golf that day was supposedly a snap decision known only amongst his innermost circle. Or how did Mr. Routh figure out the most advantageous fairway to lay at for a clear shot? The FBI is on the case...
..Things political are speeding up with the autumnal quickening. The blob is truly and deeply a’fright. So many blobsters will be liable to pay for their multitudinous crimes against the people of this country if Mr. Trump squeaks back into power that such a future is unthinkable to them. And yet, nothing has worked to deactivate this...
..The Butler, PA, head-shot op came awfully close to eliminating their, uh, problem, but no cigar. The Palm Beach golf course ambush had a Peter Sellers vibe, wouldn’t you agree? With the rifle muzzle poking through the shrubbery behind a fence. What next? A pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, and cyanide? Maybe try to drop an anvil on Mr. Trump’s head from a passing airplane? (Beep-beep. . . woosh!)
   Somebody do something!!! The blob is shrieking to its minions from the sub-basement bunkers at Langley to the salons of Georgetown, to the US Embassy in Ukraine. Well, there’s always World War Three! And it looks like just such a romp is about to be instigated...
..“JB” is not available for duty anymore. The “out-to-lunch” sign hangs permanently on the doorknob of the Oval Office now. The USA does not have a functioning chief-of-state for the first time in 235 years. After 2021, some sort of unelected, informal Politburu that self-assembled in the White House, like a clot from a Covid vaccine shot, is running our affairs...
..Kamala Harris is strangely missing from the front page of The New York Times this morning. Is that a little ominous? The debate is behind her. There will not be another, apparently. There is nothing about her schedule on the official campaign website. Has she entered fade-away mode? ...   https://jameshowardkunstler.substack.com/p/beep-beep

The Honest Sorcerer on the coming decline of oil-driven real economy,  The End of the Great Stagnation   https://thehonestsorcerer.substack.com/p/the-end-of-the-great-stagnation



  Gilbert Doctorow on what may or may not have been a painfully clear back channel ultimatum from Moscow to Washington.  Information and disinformation
  Scott Ritter rightly denounced this U.S. government-inspired attack on RT as a war not on the Russian broadcaster but on the American people, whom it seeks to deprive of the right to decide for itself whom it watches, whom it listens to without U.S. government interference.  The intent of the latest decision by Meta, which bends to the policy dictated to it by Capitol Hill, is to cancel our freedoms. I said and repeat here: bravo to Scott Ritter for an eloquent and pithy statement.
  So much for the ‘information’ aspect of this brief note.  Now let us move to ‘disinformation’ by the very same Scott Ritter within the past 24 hours:  namely what he is saying on ‘Judging Freedom’ and other authoritative internet channels about how we all narrowly escaped death this past weekend, because “back channel” communications from top Russian intelligence officials to their counterparts in Washington delivered a threatening and substantive message that scared the receiving party down its socks and led them to impose on Biden and Blinken to end all talk of allowing Kiev to send US and NATO long range missiles into the heartland of Russia...
..However, the issue of who made and who received the phone call this time is not the main point in my objection. Rather, what I find incredible is the very notion that Putin, through his subordinates, would, as Scott Ritter is saying, read off a list of targets for immediate destruction by Russian hypersonic missiles like the Mach-20 Avangard and that this demonstration of advanced preparation for the Doomsday scenario and readiness to execute it would shake the Americans down to their socks.
  Vladimir Putin is not given to drastic shifts in tone and intent such as Ritter is describing.  And there is absolutely no reason for him to risk everything on one throw of the dice, to risk a U.S. preemptive strike at once now that the scenario against them had been so neatly laid out...
..Still more, knowing Putin’s behavior in the past at moments of crisis in the relationship with the United States, I believe his first instinct would be to address the American people directly about his intentions and the reasons for them, rather than to confine the discussion to ‘back channels’ with the likes of Burns or Sullivan...
..I have in the past several days freely admitted that my ‘end is nigh’ remarks with respect to the risks of giving unrestricted rights to Kiev on the missiles, were exaggerated. But then I was measuring the countdown to Doomsday in weeks, in the worst scenario, not in hours or minutes as Scott Ritter has done.
  We are not out of the woods yet, to be sure.  And the task before all ‘warriors for peace’ is not to celebrate our surviving this past weekend but to continue to spread the word in the broadest possible public arenas that our governments are pursuing utterly ignorant and reckless policies.   
https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2024/09/17/information-and-disinformation/

  I have written to Dr. Doctorow, asking him to consider the possibility, as he already has done, that the US/UK were arranging a contingent nuclear-decapitation first strike against all of Russia, from every direction, at the moment when it remained still-possible. Consider that Mr. Putin and Russian military leaders would have no more direct choice than to point out on a deconfliction line, exactly how this would not work to decapitate Russia, and the exact coordinates and depths of some number of secret bunkers, where western "decision makers" would be expecting to find their own protection.

  Simplicius, mostly about Ukraine, but I excerpted this: Ukraine's Situation Worsens as Allied Weapons Drive Flunks
One Russian source with more possible details:
  About Yemen's missile strike on Israel; it's almost certain that they used their domestic variant of the Iranian Kheybar Shekan-2 hypersonic ballistic missile, revealed a few months ago as 'Hatem-2'
  Before that, Yemen announced they had started domestic production of Iran's original Kheybar Shekan under the name 'Palestine' (Falasteen). The Kheybar Shekan-2 or 'Hatem-2' is simply an upgraded version of this missile with a hypersonic warhead and added range and maneuvers.
  Images: Hatem-2 hypersonic missile released months ago (left image) and Iran's Kheybar Shekan-2 (right image); as can be seen, the missiles are nearly identical, except that Yemen uses lesser quality materials.
  The Houthis claimed that Israel fired over 20 interceptors which all missed. If a single missile—reportedly not even of Iran’s most advanced class—could bypass all of NATO’s defenses and strike at the heart of Israel, it really does not bode well for a major Iranian attack of hundreds if not thousands of more advanced variants. Nor does it bode well for the Empire if Putin chooses to reciprocate in kind by arming Yemen with even more advanced technology; it goes to illustrate the US’ hesitancy in escalating against Russia.

  Alastair Crooke,  Closing hatches before rains founder the Western Vessel
The war is lost, and the struggle to keep the ‘enforced pretending’ going is breaking through, to be seen by all as a false reality.
  Israel is entering the next phase of its war on Palestine by completing its takeover of the Gaza Strip – from the northern border to the Netzarim corridor. It is likely that they intend for this area to then gradually be made available for Jewish settlement and annexation to Israel.
  In a piece titled, “Annexation, Expulsion and Israeli Settlements: Netanyahu Gears Up for Next Phase of Gaza War”, the Editor of Haaretz, Aluf Benn, writes, were the takeover to proceed, “Palestinian residents who remain in northern Gaza will be expelled, as suggested by Maj. Gen. (res.) Giora Eiland, under threat of starvation and under cover of “protecting their lives””. Netanyahu and his supporters will see this move, Benn suggests, as a lifetime achievement: Expanding Israel’s territory for the first time, after 50 years of Israeli withdrawals. This will be the Israeli Right’s ‘Zionist response’ to 7 October.
  This extraordinary shift was actuated – not just through military operations – but by the stroke of a pen: the appointment of Col. Elad Goren as head of the humanitarian-civil effort in Gaza, which effectively, makes him ‘Governor of Gaza’ for years to come.
  Less noted in the western Mainstream media is the harsh reality that, in the course of the twenty months in which the current Israeli government has been in power, Ben Gvir has armed a 10,000 strong settler vigilante movement that has been terrorising Palestinians in the West Bank. The police in the occupied territories already answer to Ben Gvir’s authority.
  What is missing from this appreciation is that whilst Ben Gvir has been assembling the ‘State Of Judea’s novel army’Finance Minister Smotrich, who heads the Administration of the Territories, has revolutionized the situation for Jewish settlers and Palestinians in the West Bank. Authority in the West Bank has been turned-over to a closed, Right-wing messianic movement that answers only to a single man: Smotrich (the Governor of the West Bank in all but name).
​  In what Nahum Barnea describes as a stealth pincer-movement deployed by Smotrich, one arm of power has lain with his authority as finance minister; the second arm consists in the power delegated to him in his capacity as second minister in the Defence Ministry. Smotrich’s, and the Israeli government’s objective – laid out in Smotrich’s ‘Decisive Plan’ in 2017 – has not changed: to induce the collapse of the Palestinian Authority; to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state; and to give the seven million Palestinians who live between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea a choice: to die fighting; to immigrate to another country, or to live forever as vassals in a greater Israeli state.​..
..Netanyahu’s obfuscation about the likely future of Gaza needs little further explanation. The Palestinians in northern Gaza will face the fate of the Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh: They were expelled overnight from the region a year ago, in a rapid move by Azerbaijanis. The world saw this, and simply ‘moved on’ – in the Israeli understanding of history...
​..Israel, by force of logic, has but two options: a Gaza ceasefire that might pacify its northern border, or a deliberate escalation in the north, with all its ramifications.​  The notion that Hizballah would be ‘coaxed’ away from Lebanon’s border was always ‘pie-in-the-sky’. The prospects for a Gaza deal, the mediators now say, are ‘next to zero’, so Israel’s attention has turned northwards...
​..U.S. General Kurilla, who commands U.S. forces in the region, arrived at the weekend in Israel – his second visit in a week – to complete ‘coordination with the IDF in anticipation of any possible retaliatory Iranian and Hizbullah attack’.
​  Washington, though committed to support Israel in any conflict with Iran or Hizbullah, nonetheless is worried. Senior American officials expressed fear in recent days that a full-scale war against Hezbollah will lead to huge damage to the Israeli home front, especially if Iran and others from the Resistance Alliance join in.​....Netanyahu’s ‘Great Victory’ plan to clear Greater Israel of Palestinians is unfolding, however crushing Hizbullah remains outstanding. Are all these ‘victories’ remotely feasible? No. They risk rather, the collapse of Israel (as authoritative commentators such as Major-General Brick have made clear). It is however feasible, that Netanyahu will try to execute itThe Kahanist spirit lives on, and is today mainstream in Israel.
​  This prospect casts the dark pall of a huge black swan circling overhead the Middle East, for the months until the U.S. election.
So too, does the Ukraine war contain the seeds of an unexpected unpleasant surprise.​..
..President Putin may ‘talk the talk’ of mediation, but Moscow well understands that the power structure in Kiev was drawn from the pool of racist ant-Slavs, precisely to block any accord with MoscowMediation is bound to be rebuffed – that was Washington’s purpose in empowering the Stefan Banderista bloc from the outset.
​  An unravelling of the Kiev political structures, however, probably renders all the ‘would-be mediators’ unnecessary.
​  Put frankly, a new (cleansed) dispensation in Kiev likely would conclude that it has little option other than capitulation on the battlefront, to offer formal neutrality and limits to future militarisation. And Moscow is quite able to discuss ‘that’ with Ukrainians, without ‘help’ from outside.​

'Pentagon Will Run Out of GPS Receivers': US watchdog predicts problems with communications, intelligence and weapons guidance
​  As indicated in the report of the US Government Accountability Office, posted on the agency's website, for 20 years the Pentagon has been trying to switch to a new signal, designated M-code. But the process is progressing extremely slowly, which will soon lead to negative consequences.
​  The military has for years pointed to the vulnerability of GPS signals, which have been jammed in Ukraine, allegedly in the Baltic Sea and elsewhere, thanks to Russia's increasingly sophisticated electronic warfare capabilities.
​  That's a problem the Pentagon hopes M-code will solveThe solution is based on new chips, called ASICs, that are being developed for B-2 bombers, destroyers, Stryker armored personnel carriers, and Marine Corps Light Tactical Vehicles. Smaller versions are also in development for precision-guided munitions and portable equipment. The chips are expected to undergo final testing next year.
​  However, after the development is completed, there will be problems with production. Firstly, the demand for equipment has increased sharply ​for military GPS-enabled devices made in the US. Secondly, GlobalFoundries [a US-headquartered TNC], the only company that can manufacture ASIC chips, is phasing out production for commercial reasons.​

​  Jill Stein surges ahead of Kamala Harris among Muslim-American voters in key swing states​   Dr. Stein has earned my "protest" vote again.
​  Green Party candidate Jill Stein is gaining ground among Muslim-American voters in three critical swing states: Michigan, Arizona, and Wisconsin, according to a recent poll by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
​  Stein leads Vice President and Democrat candidate Kamala Harris in these states, with 40 per cent support in Michigan, 35 per cent in Arizona, and 44 per cent in Wisconsin. This surge in popularity appears tied to Stein’s vocal criticism of US support for Israel during the ongoing genocide in Gaza.​..
..Nationally, Muslim voters are split between Harris and Stein, with Harris holding 29.4 per cent and Stein close behind at 29.1 per cent. Former president Trump lags with 11.2 per cent, while 16.5 per cent of voters remain undecided. Trump’s controversial pledge to reinstate the “Muslim travel ban” may explain his lower support.​   https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240915-jill-stein-surges-ahead-of-kamala-harris-among-muslim-american-voters-in-key-swing-states/

​  “As attorney general, Harris defined child sex trafficking, assault with a deadly weapon, and rape of an unconscious person as nonviolent crimes.” Trump declared, adding “She put them in a new category, as nonviolent.”
​  “Now as vice president, she has facilitated the largest wave of sex trafficking and human trafficking in history – the history of our country by far,” he added.
​  Modernity.news reports: Trump further addressed the press, “And in case you don’t want to write about it, which you should because there can be no bigger scandal than this, we have, under this administration, 325,000 migrant children are missing. 325,000!”
​  “In other words, take your biggest stadium in California and you can fill it up five or six times. Those are all missing children. Many of them are dead. Many of them are sex slaves, and slaves of a different nature,” he continued.
​  “But her destruction of the law and order in California did not end there. In 2020, Kamala Harris endorsed ‘defund the police,’” Trump further declared, adding “Anybody that was in favour of defunding the police for one month, let alone her entire career, should never be president of the United States.”​

​  Ohio Gov. DeWine’s deep connections to Haiti inform response to Springfield controversy
​  Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s experience with Haiti and Haitians goes far beyond his current efforts to manage issues — ranging from baseless rumors to genuine concerns — related to the recent sudden influx of Haitian immigrants to Springfield.
​  The Republican governor has an extensive connection to Haiti. In 1998, DeWine and his wife, Fran, began their support of the Becky DeWine School, named after the DeWines’ daughter who was killed in a 1993 car accident at 22 years old...
​  A previous Dayton Daily News report relayed that the school had an enrollment of roughly 5,000 students and served just under 10,000 meals a day and was pivotal in shaping his perspective on Haiti.
​  “Our mission is not to save Haiti, because that’s beyond us. But we can affect one child at a time. Our goal is to help that child survive and have a meaningful life. By accident of birth these kids were born in Haiti instead of Beavercreek. Some of the kids don’t make it, and some of them drop out, but we provide an opportunity for success,” DeWine said at the time.​

​  Tony Blair Calls for Global Agreement on Social Media Speech Restrictions
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, whose neo-liberal Labour Party government enacted some of the strictest speech laws in modern British history, has joined the chorus of commentators demanding a new crackdown on social media.
​  Speaking to LBC Radio this week, Blair said: “The world is going to have to come together and agree on some rules around social media platforms​". “It’s not just how people can provoke hostility and hatred but I think… the impact on young people particularly when they’ve got access to mobile phones very young and they are reading a whole lot of stuff and receiving a whole lot of stuff that I think is really messing with their minds in a big way.  “I’m not sure what the answer is but I’m sure we need to find one.”
​  Blair was not alone in calling for new restrictions on social media. Earlier this week, the left-wing Speaker of the House Sir Lindsay Hoyle also said that the government should consider new limits against online speech.​  “Misinformation is dangerous,” Hoyle said. “Social media is good but its also bad when people are using it in a way that could cause a riot, threat, intimidation, suggesting that we should attack somebody, it’s not acceptable​".​ “What we’ve got to do is factually correct what’s up there, if not I think the government has to think long and hard about what they are going to do about social media and what are they going to put through parliament as a bill​".
​  “I believe it should be across, it doesn’t matter what country you are in, the fact is that misinformation is dangerous and no misinformation, or threats, or intimidation should be allowed to be carr​ied out on social media platforms.”​

​  Don't accept a "Summons to Parliament", Elon!  British government had ‘constructive’ talks with Musk’s X over disinformation, minister says
LONDON — The U.K. government has had “constructive” talks with Elon Musk’s social media site X over the spread of misinformation and other harmful content, technology minister Peter Kyle told CNBC Friday...
​...“It is a privilege having access to the British economy and society. And I just expect any company that comes to work here and aspires to sell products and services into our country to respect that,” he added.
​  Kyle’s comments to CNBC come after misinformation spread online after a knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in northwest England sparked far-right, anti-immigration riots — with shops and mosques being attacked in towns across the country.
​  Multiple social media users at the time spread false information about the alleged perpetrator, who has since been charged with murder and attempted murder, claiming he was an asylum seeker.
​  During the riots, Musk, who owns X, made comments about the situation in the U.K., calling Prime Minister Keir Starmer “two-tier Keir” in reference to the conspiracy theory that police were treating white far-right protesters and rioters more harshly than minority groups.
​  He also suggested the unrest could end up resulting in a civil war, saying in an X post: “Civil war is inevitable.” Musk’s comments were condemned by the U.K. government.
​  Last week, the Financial Times reported that British lawmaker Dawn Butler, a frontrunner to become next chair of the parliamentary committee on science, innovation and technology, wants to summon Musk to face questions from members of parliament, if elected.​

​  Peaceful British protesters jailed for up to 5 years
​  LONDON, UK (CNN) - As right-wing rioters attacked communities with racist violence across parts of the UK last month, 22-year-old climate activist Cressie Gethin sat in a prison cell.
​  Her crime? Organizing a disruptive protest against new government-granted licenses to drill for oil - a planet-heating fossil fuel - in the North Sea.
In late July, a London court found Gethin and four other members of the Just Stop Oil activist group guilty of "conspiring intentionally to cause a public nuisance," after recruiting protesters to climb structures along the M25 - a major ring road around London - bringing traffic to a standstill in parts over four days in November 2022.
​  Prosecutors alleged that the protests, organized over a Zoom call, disrupted more than 700,000 drivers, caused economic damage of over £760,000 ($980,000) and racked up £1 million ($1.3m) in policing costs.
​  Now Gethin and three others - Louise Lancaster, Daniel Shaw and Lucia Whittaker-De-Abreu, who planned the disruption on the call - are serving four-year jail terms, while Just Stop Oil co-founder Roger Hallam was given five years. All are appealing.
​  The sentences are believed to be the longest in the UK's history for non-violent protest and were delivered under two new controversial laws that supercharged policing powers to crack down on disruptive protests, even when they are peaceful.

​  In Defense of Free Speech​, Scott Ritter
As Kennedy pointed out, without the debate, dialogue, and discussion that comes with critical review of policy, the American Republic cannot survive.
The censoring of any media outlet, including RT, silences the very critical debate America needs to survive...
​..In the war of ideas, when faced with defeat, we came up with better ideas.​  Today we fear critical thinking.
​  The words and deeds of Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the head of the state Department’s Global Engagement Center, James Rubin, are not those of representatives of a nation confident in its cause, but the rearguard actions of desperate men confronted with the reality of a failing empire at odds with a world that is in the process of rejecting it.
​  The only path available to the American people that can lead to our collective survival as a Republic is to do our duty as citizens to push back against the tyranny of censorship and the ignorance it enshrines by using the weapons of free speech and a free press to challenge the dangerous and misguided actions and policies of those who represent us—and ultimately must be held accountable to us—in higher office.
​  This is the battle of the ages, one which will be recorded in history as a defining moment for the American Republic.​

​  “Defending Italy Is Not a Crime”: Salvini Reacts to Prosecutors’ Request for Six-Year Sentence
Matteo Salvini, Italy’s right-wing deputy prime minister, is hitting back after Italian prosecutors requested on Saturday a six-year prison sentence against him for blocking migrants from disembarking at one of the country’s ports in 2019...
​.. In a video message on X, the deputy prime minister described in detail the events leading up to his decision to prevent the landing in Italy:
On July 29, 2019, a Spanish NGO ship, the Open Arms, sets said from Syracuse headed to Lampedusa. It will never reach Lampedusa. Suddenly, it deletes its destination from the logbook and heads towards the Libyan coast.
​  On August 1st, it manages to intercept a boat with illegal immigrants on board. From that moment, it begins to sail through the Mediterranean picking up more illegal immigrants and heading towards Italy. On August 20th, it arrives off the coast of Sicily with 164 illegal immigrants on board.
​  In the preceding days, it had stubbornly refused every request for help, assistance, or disembarkation at ports other than Italian ones. They said no to Tunisia, they said no to Malta, they even said no to the flag state, namely Spain. More than twenty days of sailing in the Mediterranean while holding all these illegal immigrants on board when it would have taken just 72 hours to reach Spain.
​  This Spanish ship refused, not once, but twice to disembark the illegal immigrants at two ports made available by Spain. and even refused the aid of a military ship sent by the Spanish government.
​  During the Mediterranean journey of the Open Arms, we always rescued and disembarked sick people, pregnant women, and minors on board.
​  Together with my government colleagues, I had signed the ban on entering Italian territorial waters. Thanks to my government’s actions, landings, deaths, and disappearances in the Mediterranean Sea decreased.​

​  Meryl Nass MD,  Some background on the twisted origins of the climate change narrative.
Because "climate change" is the central dogma supporting global government, this will become important as we disentangle the narrative over the next few weeks
​  The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, 1992, stemming from from the Rio “Earth Summit” in 1992 seems to be the only climate change treaty the US Senate agreed to. While it signed and ratified this convention, it has not ratified the Paris or Kyoto subsequent climate agreements, though President Biden returned the US to the Paris Accord after President Trump removed the US from the Paris Accord...
​..Maurice Strong, an oilman friend of David Rockefeller’s, played THE central role in defining and effecting global climate change efforts from about 1970 until 2010, was the Secretary-General of both Stockholm environmental summit in 1972 and the Rio Earth Summit of 1992. I believe he helped found the IPCC and helped create its interesting program of work, assuring that the group would come up with the “right” answers.​

​  The search for fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of life can lead to... Sex and the Single Paramecium, Evolution wants us to mix up our genes,
Josh Mitteldorf,  The big picture
​  If you’re a paramecium, you can clone yourself for awhile, but your clonal lineage is a dead end. Only the community survives long-term, and not the individual.
For multicelled creatures, we can’t clone ourselves at all. Each of us is destined to be a one-off experiment in combinatorics, never to be repeated. It is the gene pool that has Darwinian staying power, not the particular combination that is you or me.
​  This principle has deep consequences for the whole process of evolution. It means that, in the long run, it is the fitness of the community that matters. Individual fitness is fated to be a transitory phenomenon. It is community fitness that can persist, can compete, can flourish in Darwin’s competition.
​  This is the opposite of the “selfish gene”. Richard Dawkins (and R. A. Fisher 46 years before him) had it exactly backwards. According to the selfish gene dogma, which dominated evolutionary theory from 1970 onward, Darwinian competition takes place primarily at the individual level. That was the old theory. But sex changes this. The meaning of sex is precisely to lift the level of evolutionary selection from the individual to the community.
​  Life is evolved for cooperation, just as much as for competition.​
