Paul Craig Roberts looks at the implications of declaring that the US Army can go in with the intention to kill Americans if the Secretary of Defense approves it.
The Biden Regime Has Just Issued a Very Suspicious Directive Permitting Military Intervention in US Domestic Affairs
A new Department of Defense directive 5240.01 issued September 27, 2024, just prior to the November presidential election allows the US military to use lethal force against American citizens in assisting police authorities in domestic disturbances.
A report on this development lists these civil liberties concerns:
Right to protest: There are fears that expanded authority could suppress legitimate protests.
Privacy rights: Increased military involvement in domestic intelligence gathering could infringe on privacy.
Due process: The military’s role in law enforcement could bypass standard due process protections.
Freedom of speech: The broad definition of “national security threats” could target individuals for their political beliefs...
..Here are some Constitutional concerns:
Challenging the Posse Comitatus Act: This Act traditionally limits the powers of the federal government in using military personnel for domestic law enforcement... ..Unless Trump cuts a deal with Democrats not to hold them accountable and also a deal with the Ruling Elite not to interfere with their control, I can see no way that either will permit Trump to be President.
The Biden regime and the Trump Justice (sic) Department and FBI are criminal operations. I can see indictments and arrests for those who have weaponized law enforcement. The Ruling Elite and leading Democrats such as Hillary Clinton and John Kerry can all be arrested, honestly unlike Trump and his supporters, for insurrection as they have openly called for the overthrow of the United States by demanding the overthrow of the First Amendment of the US Constitution. No fooling, this is treason. The US is the Constitution. https://www.

NYT Lies To Downplay 'Racist' Kamala Plagiarism Scandal - So Chris Rufo Brings Receipts
The Times claims that "none of the passages in question took the ideas or thoughts of another writer." This is preposterous. Harris not only copied multiple paragraphs of other people's work verbatim, but she often lifted those ideas directly and at face value. In one case, she came to the wrong conclusion because she copied Wikipedia—i.e., she stole a bad idea, copied the language verbatim, and got the point wrong. This is the Full Monty of plagiarism. The Times's claim doesn't hold up at all; it's just a way of downplaying the transgression of Kamala Harris. https://www.

Tel Aviv once again came into confrontation with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, known as UNIFIL, on Friday, striking the organization’s headquarters and injuring two peacekeepers during a morning attack. Israeli forces struck the same installation the day before, also injuring two.
“You will have seen that the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) issued a statement this morning saying that two of its peacekeepers were injured after an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Merkava tank fired its weapon toward an observation tower at UNIFIL’s headquarters in Naqoura, directly hitting it and causing them to fall,” stated the spokesperson for UN Secretary General António Guterres after the first attack Thursday. https://sputnikglobe.com/

The UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon, UNIFIL, has accused Israeli Defense Forces of destroying their main gate and causing mild injuries to at least 15 soldiers after Israeli troops "forcibly entered" their position.
The allegation contained in a UNIFIL statement came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for the removal of the UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon.
The statement said the incident, which occurred early on Sunday morning at a UN position in Ramiya, involved two Israeli tanks.
"We remind the IDF and all actors of their obligations to ensure the safety and security of UN personnel and property and to respect the inviolability of UN premises at all times," it added...

"Mr. Secretary General, get the UNIFIL forces out of harm`s way. It should be done right now, immediately." Netanyahu said in English during his address, which was done in Hebrew.
His call followed attacks in recent days that left at least five UN peacekeepers wounded in the fighting between the Israeli military and Hezbollah in recent days.
UNIFIL said new explosions hit its headquarters Friday, injuring two peacekeepers a day after Israeli forces targeted the same position and struck central Beirut.

Alastair Crooke, Israel does what it does; It was always planned this way
With the assassination of Sayed Hassan Nasrallah and a number of the Hizbullah senior leadership in Beirut – expressly without prior warning being given to the Pentagon – Netanyahu fired the start gun on an implicit Israeli widening of war to – using Israel’s term – the ‘octopus’ tentacles’: Hizbullah in Lebanon; Ansarullah in Yemen; the Syrian government and the Iraqi Hash’ad A-Shaabi forces.....Looked at dispassionately, either the Israelis are inviting their own demise by over-extending across seven fronts. Or their hope lies with invoking the threat of their demise as the means to bring in the United States. As with Zelensky in Ukraine, there is ‘no hope’ unless the U.S. adds its fire-power decisively – both Netanyahu and Zelensky assume.
So, in West Asia the U.S. is now supporting, no less, than a war against humanity per se, and against the world. This clearly cannot be in America’s self-interest. Do its power-broker Panjandrums realise the possible consequences for it to stand against the World in an act of gross immorality? Netanyahu is betting his house – and now the West’s – on the outcome of his roulette table ‘bet’.
Is there a sense amongst the Panjandrums that the U.S. is betting on the wrong horse? https://strategic-culture.su/

Andrew Korybko, How Significant Is the US’ THAAD Deployment to Israel? [THAAD might hit some hypersonic missiles, but it has few missiles. Soldiers are a "trip force".]
The Pentagon confirmed that it’ll dispatch nearly 100 troops to Israel to operate one of its premier air defense systems, the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), of which it only has seven in total. This comes ahead of Israel’s expected retaliation to Iran’s latest missile strike on the first of the month that it carried out to restore deterrence after the assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut. https://www.globalresearch.ca/us-thaad-deployment-israel/5870130 Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko said Tuesday that Russia would provide military assistance to North Korea if it comes under attack based on a treaty the two nations signed earlier this year.
“If an act of aggression is committed against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, all necessary measures will be taken in accordance with our legislation, in accordance with the DPRK’s legislation.” ... “The treaty is signed, so it is public,” Rudenko said. “It has Article 4, which deals precisely with the issue of mutual assistance in case of aggression, that the sides, in case of aggression against one of the sides, will provide each other with any necessary assistance, including military assistance.” https://news.antiwar.com/2024/10/15/russia-says-it-would-give-military-assistance-to-north-korea-if-it-came-under-attack/#gsc.tab=0

After President Raisi's assassination, Russia is wary of the faction backing Pezeshkian. MK Bhadrakumar, Between Russia and Iran all is well that ends well
The ambivalence is reminiscent of the inordinate delay some years ago in Russia’s transfer of S-300 mobile surface-to-air missile system to Iran even after Tehran had made payment for the system. In sheer exasperation, Iran filed a $4 billion lawsuit against Russia’s defence export agency and embarked on the manufacture of its own long-range, mobile air defence system, the Bavar-373.
Simply put, Russia came under US-Israeli pressure. Geopolitical considerations continue to prevail in Russia’s arms transfers with Iran. Pezeshkian, after his return to Tehran disclosed to the media that he had told Putin that Russia should “act more effectively in relation to the crimes committed by the Zionist regime in Gaza and Lebanon.”
Apparently, the tense exchange at Ashgabat provoked a frank remark later by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov to Tass, the state news agency. Ryabkov said: “We are closely and anxiously following the events [in the Israel-Iran standoff], the risk of a large-scale conflict is indeed high. The tendency to escalate into a full-scale conflict is a real danger. We call on all parties to exercise restraint. We are in intensive dialogue with the countries of the region. And once again — a major war can be avoided, but everyone must show restraint.” [Emphasis added.]
Indeed, Moscow is pragmatically continuing with its ‘neutrality,’ which of course does not help Tehran. At the same time, Putin reportedly did not take a call recently from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu! Presumably, Russian-Israeli cogitations have disappeared underground...
..There is a sense of uneasiness in Moscow about the intentions of the Pezeshkian government, which has prioritised the resumption of negotiations with the West. The high-level diplomatic traffic between Tehran and Moscow is no longer as dense as it used to be during the presidency of late Ebrahim Raisi.
Last week, top US officials went out of the way to affirm that despite tensions with Israel, Tehran is not ‘upgrading’ its nuclear doctrine. A spokesperson for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) in Washington added to the public remarks earlier in the week by CIA Director William Burns, who said the US had not seen any evidence of Iran’s Supreme Leader reversing his 2003 decision to suspend the weaponisation programme.

Doctorow covers a lot here: Transcript of interview on 'Dialogue Works,' 15 October
..Hezbollah in this supposedly weakened state had carried out something that has not been adequately described.
The numbers that were divulged necessarily by Israeli military-- because it was in Haifa after all, it was in plain view, and so they had to say something-- the numbers they said were four killed and some dozens wounded. It's later the figure has come close to 100 wounded and how many of these people are seriously maimed and will never be the same again, that remains to be revealed in the future...
..To look at the Iranian attack on October 1st from the standpoint of how many people died is ... to miss the point. One person died accidentally, hit by falling debris in the Iranian attack. But that was intentionally done to avoid killing people and to show the power of Iran to penetrate all of Israel's defenses and to strike at will at what it wanted to destroy, which it did destroy.
That was the message sent on October 1st. And yesterday's message by Hezbollah was similarly meant, not just for the sake of how many it would kill and maim, but primarily to send a deterrent message to prevent further escalation of the ongoing low-grade war between Israel's IDF and Hezbollah and the Lebanese people...
..What was special about this? Well, we know something. Everyone knows that the Israeli defense did not detect the incoming drones. They didn't detect it. And that's quite stunning. They have one of the best, if not the best, air defense systems in the world...That was the message sent on October 1st. And yesterday's message by Hezbollah was similarly meant, not just for the sake of how many it would kill and maim, but primarily to send a deterrent message to prevent further escalation of the ongoing low-grade war between Israel's IDF and Hezbollah and the Lebanese people...
..In the normal situation, the alarm should have gone off, and the soldiers who were being targeted should have dived. They should have gone to protected shelter, which normally they had the time to do, and which is what they practice in Israel today. It didn't happen, because nobody saw the incoming drones ... They said that Israel was blindsided because it never expected Hezbollah, which is just to the north of them, to send in attack weapons via the sea and not over land directly from the north.
So the Israeli radars, as one expert has proposed, weren't pointed in the right direction. Well, I have a doubt that's true. I imagine Israelis have 360-degree surveillance, radar surveillance. The point is the following ... Anyway, Nikonov had good panelists, and one of them said the following. This was not detected by Israel because it is not detectable on radar. It has almost no metal parts. It's made entirely of composites. The same sort of approach that the United States used in creating its stealth bombers, composites. The result is, there was nothing for radar to see, and it didn't see it. That is the really striking development which should send shudders up the spine of Israel's military leaders, the same way as the October 1st Iranian strike should have them all in great panic. https://gilbertdoctorow.substack.com/p/transcript-of-interview-on-dialogue
Gilbert Doctorow from 10/14/24 Who is saying what about China today?
The lead story on the BBC World News broadcast this morning was the military exercises China is now carrying out in the Taiwan Strait and its encirclement of the island by its ‘coast guard’ vessels in what is clearly meant to demonstrate its ability to impose a blockade at any time of its choosing and so to bring Taiwan to heel without an invasion and with little or no loss of life.
As the BBC news presenter explained, the Chinese muscle flexing was a response to an aggressive speech last Thursday by Taiwan’s recently installed president William Lai Ching-tai, who said that “The People’s Republic of China has no right to represent Taiwan.” Put in plain English, Lai was rejecting the One China policy that Beijing agreed with Richard Nixon back in 1972. That policy had been the backbone of U.S.-Chinese relations ever since….until the Trump and then the Biden administration decided that any and all measures should be applied to contain the growth of the People’s Republic and its implicit challenge to U.S. global hegemony. Encouraging Taiwanese independence is one of the several elements of U.S.-led containment. Indeed, the BBC’s explanation of the timing of the Chinese naval exercises may ring true, but is it sufficient cause? I would suggest that the offensive speech may have been little more than a pretext for a message that Beijing is sending over the heads of the Taiwanese to the political establishment in the USA. The message is that should the United States join Israel in an attack on Iran that puts critically important supplies of oil to China from the Persian Gulf in jeopardy, in retaliation China can use the distraction of Washington with wars in Ukraine and the Middle East to accomplish its long-desired reunification with Taiwan at minimal risk or cost to itself. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2024/10/14/who-is-saying-what-about-china-today-western-mainstream-versus-russian-mainstream/

Ugo Bardi, on coerced suicide (including "vaccine products") The Age of Exterminations (V): Suicide as a Weapon of Mass Destruction
This is the 5th part of a series dedicated to exploring a dark area of human behavior: mass exterminations. Here, I examine perhaps the darkest part of it: when the victims can be convinced to submit to be killed or even to kill themselves by lies and propaganda. During the last two years of WW2, the German and the Allied governments found themselves in an unholy alliance. Both wanted the Germans to fight like cornered rats up to the very last moment but for different reasons. The Germans were trying to postpone their defeat; the Allies wanted the destruction of Germany's military and industrial base... A side effect of this weird bipartisan effort was the rise of perhaps the first psyop in history that tried to convince an enemy population to commit mass suicide. In 1945, the British printed and distributed in Germany a propaganda postcard written in German and supposedly issued by the Nazi government. It provided detailed instructions on how to hang oneself (postcard "H. 1321") (2). Even more weirdly, the Germans collaborated with the Allies in pushing German civilians to commit suicide. Possibly, they were possessed by a mystic intoxication about glorious death but, more likely, the German government reasoned that mass suicide was an easy way to get rid of unproductive people, mostly women and the elderly. The result was the wide distribution of cyanide capsules to the population. One of those cyanide capsules was used by Regina Lisso, a 21-year-old girl who had no reason to die but who was caught in the madness of the propaganda storm (5). Other Germans used different methods: hanging, drowning, guns, and more. https://www.senecaeffect.com/search?q=The+Age+Of+Exterminations+V
Professor Ugo Bardi has just released the whole series and more in a book: "Exterminations."

Their argument: a recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that COVID itself reduces IQ, which "suggests yet another reason to get the vaccine: It may protect your intellect."...
..If you read p. 27 Table S7 of the supplement/appendix, they have the multivariate regression coefficients of both having covid of various durations and being vaccinated and t-scores for significance among other variables. https://www.nejm.org/doi/suppl/10.1056/NEJMoa2311330/suppl_file/nejmoa2311330_appendix.pdf
Their analysis indicate negative coefficient by vaccination (versus not vaccinated) on cognitive score (same as their getting covid relative to not results)
coef t-score
Vaccine doses 1 -0.130 -3.054
Vaccine doses >=2 -0.057 -4.078
Thus, getting vaccinated is highly significantly (99%+) correlated with a drop in cognitive ability or IQ, more so for the first dose than booster.
This is absolutely hilarious, the paper cited says the exact OPPOSITE of what the LA Times Op ed says, vaccination is instead associated with a DROP in IQ similar to what they say about having Covid. https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/skipping-covid-booster-could-reduce-your-iq-vax-propaganda-thrives-la-times

I am pleased to announce that we have recently published a comment paper in the Tasman Medical Journal in response to an editorial review by the journal's Editor-In-Chief concerning the use of hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of COVID-19. Despite expressing disagreement with the editorial, the Editor has been genuinely interested in publishing a robust academic debate. His handling of our manuscript was very professional and meticulous.
The study concisely reviews previously published work, so there are no new major results presented. However, the importance of this study is that it provides a very concise statement of what should have been widely known and understood, by now, about pandemic response and specifically about the Raoult and Zelenko hydroxychloroquine-based multidrug protocols.
Some of the key points that we make are as follows:
1. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) require large sample sizes to ensure sufficient randomization. RCTs with insufficient randomization cannot claim superiority over retrospective observational controlled studies.
2. There was sufficient evidence to justify the continuation of hydroxychloroquine-based multidrug treatments on an emergency basis by the end of April 2020, contrary to the claims of French regulators, currently preoccupied with persecuting Dr. Didier Raoult.
3. By December 2020, the evidence was sufficiently strong that there was no longer equipoise to ethically justify any randomized controlled trials against placebo. The crossover point for the failure of equipoise, based on Zelenko's data, was during June 2020. https://drlf.substack.com/p/new-paper-the-use-of-hydroxychloroquine
