 Sorting It Out,


  Simplicius,   Russia Launches Largest Drone Swarm of Entire War as Ukraine Gets Forgotten​  
This jumped out at me. Warfare is changing ra[pidly:  This now makes multiple F-16s shot down by Geran drones. The problem appears to be they are incapable of locking onto the drone as it has a very small IR signature, so they are being forced to engage the drone at extremely close ranges, which peppers the F-16 with shrapnel after the drone explodes.​   https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/sitrep-62925-russia-launches-largest

  The US has sent the old stockpiles to Ukraine and the new stockpiles to "Israel", can't produce weapons quickly, and is running low, so "Israel first":            Simplicius,  Major Setback for Ukraine as US Cuts Aid Due to Critical Weapons Shortages
​  Politico revealed that the US is reportedly halting supplies of critical weapons systems to Ukraine because the US’ own stockpiles of these have sunk to record lows.​..
​..Included among the items being pulled back are missiles for Patriot air defense systems, precision artillery rounds, Hellfire and other missiles that Ukraine launches from its F-16 fighters and drones.
​  Note that GMLRS ammo for the HIMARS and 155mm artillery shells are amongst the key systems included, although as of yet I haven’t found any other sources validating these specific claims—rather, they all mention ‘weapons systems’ more ambiguously.​..
​..But now, breaking reports claim that the US has dropped back down to a mere 40k per month due to huge production problems:
​  The Army recently told Congress that 155mm production currently stands at 40,000/month. This is, of course, a decrease from the 50,000/m LaPlante stated last year.
​  We now have a likely explanation for why it fell. The new shell body production facility in Mesquite, TX is massively behind schedule. The first two of three production lines are still not fully completed, and the third is likely to miss its due date.
​  The Army has formally notified General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems that their management of the facility is being reviewed for breach of contract. They have until July 10 to detail how they might be able to get things back on track​.
​  As a result, the Army's Load, Assemble and Pack capacity exceeds their ability to produce the metal parts of the projectiles. Previously there was a stockpile of shell bodies that were being drawn on by the LAP facilitiesbut those must have been exhausted, so projectile production has now fallen to 40,000 which is what the other metal parts plants can produce. Mesquite's 3 lines are supposed to produce 10,000 shell bodies each.​..
..I had covered the “new” General Dynamics Mesquite factory before, particularly the fact that it was built by Turkey, featuring Turkish CNC lathes and other equipment, and staffed with Turkish workers. It’s not unlike the TSMC factory in Phoenix which was unable to find ‘suitable’ American workers to ably man the production lines. When I first learned of the Turkish sourcing, I immediately had my doubts that this boondoggle “automated” factory would amount to much; now it seems those doubts have been vindicated.​   https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/major-setback-for-ukraine-as-us-cuts

In the report, soldiers said Israeli commanders instructed troops to shoot at civilians approaching aid sites before they opened or after they closed—using machine guns, mortars, and grenades. Soldiers described systematic live fire, including from tanks and said the killings weren’t isolated mistakes but part of a pattern dubbed​ “Operation Salted Fish”—the Israeli version of Red Light, Green Light. “We shoot, they run, we shoot again,” one soldier said. “This is our communication.”​   https://www.globalresearch.ca/gaza-grassroots-effort-ensure-humanitarian-aid/5893252

​  Proof that Israel Has Lost the War: “Sizable Portion of Military, Intelligence, Energy, and R&D Facilities Destroyed”. Mike Whitney ​  
​  Let’s say, some unexpected 9-11-type catastrophe was to take place in the next few weeks that had Iranian fingerprints all over it. And let’s say this false flag was destructive enough that the “usual suspects” on Capitol Hill and the MSM demanded that Trump take immediate action and bomb Iran. If that scenario were to unfold, then wouldn’t it better for Bibi and Trump to be able to point to their recent efforts for resolving the Gaza crisis? Wouldn’t they benefit from the perception (by the public) that they had been actively pursuing peace but were unexpectedly derailed by Iran’s actions?
​  Indeed, they would.
​  Of course, this is all just speculation; I don’t know what’s going to happen. But when you have hardliners like Katz, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and countless others in Netanyahu’s looneybin government who believe that Israel must “keep the sword raised” to ensure Iran does not recover its military capabilities (Smotrich), then a prudent person will prepare for the worst.
​  Keep in mind, a number of Israeli leaders have repeatedly stated that Netanyahu should “finish the job”, which is an intentionally vague term that refers to the use of a nuclear weapon.
​  In order to determine the probability of such an event, we must ask ourselves whether a government that justifies the killing and forced starvation of millions of women and children in their charge, has the moral scruples to oppose the use of the world’s most lethal weapon?

​  The view taken here is that meaningful growth – increases in the supply of material products and services to society – may have ended in 2023, and is sure to be over by 2030.
​  But, and although downwards revisions to forward growth projections have become commonplace, nobody in a position of authority or influence can afford to concede that prior growth in the economy has gone into reverse, or that it ever could.
​  Instead, we’re flooding the economy with liquidity, first to prop up the system in ways which create purely statistical increases in reported GDP, and, second, in the forlorn hope that monetary expansion might reinvigorate the material economy.
​  We’re continuing, of course, to significantly understate the systemic inflation numbers used to convert nominal into real GDP.​

​  RFK Jr. Unloads Disturbing Vaccine Secrets on Tucker—And Surprises Everyone on Trump
This conversation with startle you, infuriate you—then lift your spirits. Kennedy’s three-minute take on Trump is among the most compelling things you’ll watch today.
​  He revealed that the health agency buried a 1999 internal study led by researcher Thomas Verstraten, which showed an alarming 1135% increase in autism risk from the hepatitis B vaccine...​ “They got rid of all the older children essentially and just had younger children who are too young to be diagnosed [with autism].”​...
..“There’s a published article out there now that says that 50% of revenues to most pediatricians come from vaccines.”
It’s all about the money. The higher the vaccination rate, the bigger the bonus.
​  “And that’s why your pediatrician, if you say I want to go slow on the vaccines… will throw you out of his practice because you’re now jeopardizing that bonus structure.”​...
​..“None of the vaccines given to children in the first six months of life have ever been studied for autism.”...​  He went further, revealing that the CDC actually did find a link when they studied the DTaP vaccine.​  But they dismissed it. Kennedy said they claimed it “didn’t count” because the data came from VAERS—the very system they use to track vaccine injuries.
​  So when the evidence pointed to harm, they simply claimed their own system wasn’t reliable enough and took no steps to fix it.​..
​..Kennedy attested that the CDC killed off a vaccine injury reporting system that actually worked—because it worked too well.
It showed that 1 in 37 vaccines caused an injury.
​  Tucker was stunned.  “Of all vaccines?” he asked.​  “Yeah,” Kennedy confirmed.​..
..Kennedy didn’t stop at old vaccine scandals. He also broke down Pfizer’s own COVID vaccine trial data. That trial showed a 23% higher death rate in the vaccinated group...  Over six months, 21 vaccinated participants died of all causes, compared to 17 in the placebo group—a 23.5% higher death rate.​   https://www.vigilantfox.com/p/rfk-jr-unloads-disturbing-vaccine

 What's Next For CDC's Remade Vaccine Advisory Committee?
 ​  The vaccine advisory committee remade by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to look at multiple other vaccines, after it voted to advise officials to stop recommending influenza shots that contain mercury.     Martin Kulldorff, the new chair of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), said on June 26 that one proposal is to tell the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to make clear that young children should not receive the measles, mumps, rubella, varicella (MMRV) combination immunization.​  Instead, the CDC would recommend that children under the age of 47 months receive two separate vaccines: the measles, mumps, rubella shot, and the varicella, or chickenpox, vaccine.
​  The change would reflect data that indicate the MMRV combination vaccine causes more febrile seizures.​..
​..Kulldorff, an epidemiologist who was fired by Harvard Medical School for declining a COVID-19 vaccine, also announced two new work groups, or subcommittees.
​  One will examine the impact of vaccines on the childhood immunization schedules...
​..The second subcommittee will examine vaccines that have not been reviewed in more than seven years, including the hepatitis B vaccine, the first dose of which the CDC recommends at birth for infants.​  “Unless the mother is hepatitis B positive, an argument could be made to delay the vaccine for this infection, which is primarily spread by sexual activity and intravenous drug use,” Kulldorff said.​

Note that the big drop in mortality occurred more than 30 years before the vaccine became available...
..The annual shot is not risk-free. Serious adverse reactions include paralysis from Guillain Barré syndrome. More people receive compensation from the U.S. government for vaccine-related injuries from influenza than from any other vaccine. The flu vaccine might increase your risk of another type of viral respiratory illness.
​  The CDC’s newly appointed Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has voted to recommend annual influenza vaccination for all persons aged 6 months or older who have no contraindications. It recommended that children 18 years and younger and pregnant women only receive influenza vaccines in single-dose formulations that are free of mercury-containing thimerosal as a preservative. The flu vaccine is the only thimerosal-containing vaccine that was still being given to children.
​  Influenza season corresponds to the time of year when vitamin D levels are lowest. Supplementation is associated with fewer cold/influenza symptoms.​

​  To stress the key point again: in an intensifying hurricane, more air flows in laterally than flows out, and precipitation removes several times more mass than the net inflow. This removal is what causes the total air mass — and thus pressure — to drop.

In other words, for the cost of, let’s say, 10 interceptors, the other side will build 50 to 100 offensive missiles. As previously mentioned, you need 4 GBIs to shoot down one “Minuteman 3”, meaning that you’d spend up to $400 million on a single ICBM. For comparison, the much more advanced Russian RS-24 “Yars” costs only $25 million. There’s simply no point in building such ABM systems, as it would make much more sense to simply make more offensive missiles. Thus, an obvious question arises – why is the US doing all this? Well, it’s rather simple – money for the Military Industrial Complex.
​  According to its own report (published in late January), Lockheed Martin delivered at least 900 interceptors for the THAAD. That’s nearly $12 billion in munitions alone.​

Substituting debt for earnings while enriching the rich will bear bitter fruit.
​  Many of the thousands of charts floating around illuminate some aspect of the economy, but these four tell the primary story:
1. The gains from rising productivity--the only durable source of prosperity--were shifted from wages to owners of capital.
​  2. As wages lost ground, the central bank (Federal Reserve) replaced cash earnings with debt, by a) lowering interest rates for 40 years, b) increasing the money supply and c) opening the flood gates of credit.
3. Wage earners used credit to pay expenses, the wealthy used credit to buy income-producing assets.
​  4. As a result, assets such as houses are now unaffordable to all but the wealthy.​

​Threatening their families on phone calls:  Israel Tried To 'Turn' Iranian Generals Against Ayatollah Just Before Bombs Fell   https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/israel-tried-turn-iranian-generals-against-ayatollah-just-bombs-fell

​  Well, "recently", anyway:  TRUMP NOW​  "I'm not happy with Israel." "I'm not sure Iran broke the ceasefire." "Israel violated the ceasefire. As soon as I made the deal they grabbed the biggest load of bombs you've ever seen. I'm not happy with them. I'm really unhappy that Israel, is attacking for one rocket that was a mistake that didn't land. Israel has been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they are doing."​   https://x.com/Partisangirl/status/1937469688453448162

  (​Diplomatic) Gilbert Doctorow:  Transcript of RT interview, 24 June
There might just have been a logic to Mr. Trump’s actions, a logic which was proven in the last day by the announcement of a ceasefire.
The logic was that he, Trump, was preempting a nuclear strike by Israel on those very same sites. Let’s face it. Israel has been losing the war with Iran, losing it badly. We don’t know how badly because of strict military censorship in Israel, which means that the presence of the BBC and Reuters and the rest of it means nothing. They’re not allowed to do any real coverage of the war damage.
​  They only can show some pitiful destruction of apartments. So the general public has no idea that Israel is on the ropes. Israel’s infrastructure, essential to its economy, has been degraded. Its most important port, Haifa, has been largely destroyed or made inoperable because no merchant ship will go near Haifa for fear of being blown up by the Iranians. So the Israeli economy is badly wounded.​..
..I have information which I’ve used to come to the conclusion that Mr. Trump was preventing Israel from doing what it could do on its own to destroy those nuclear sites, which could only be nuclear weapons. America had conventional weapons which would do the job, supposedly. Mr Trump declared victory and he left Mr Netanyahu with nothing to say except to do what we see now, enter into a ceasefire.​   https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/06/25/transcript-of-rt-interview-24-june/

​  Why Iran’s Use of Multi-Warhead Missiles Caused Significant Issues for Israeli Air Defences
Where the Fattah challenged Israeli air defences due to the near impossibility of intercepting it, with strikes launched at speeds of Mach 13-15, missiles with multiple warheads pose a potentially greater threat due to their ability to hit a range of targets with a single strike, while more cost effectively depleting Israel’s already increasingly strained anti-ballistic missile arsenal.​   https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/why-iran-use-multi-warhead-missiles-israeli-defences

​  John Helmer,  “NO OTHER MILITARY ON EARTH COULD HAVE DONE IT” – HAS TRUMP ACKNOWLEDGED THE DAMAGE IRAN HAS INFLICTED ON ISRAEL WHICH THE US FAILED TO STOP, FAILED TO MAKE ISRAEL GREAT AGAIN​
​  The secret is simple: Israel was desperate to have Trump call the ceasefire in order to obtain emergency resupply of US air defence missiles. And Trump was in just as much hurry because the cost which Iran’s war has imposed on the US defence budget is more money than Trump currently has the legal authorization to spend.
​  According to this painstaking analysis of the available intelligence, “between the start of the war on June 13 and the announcement of a ceasefire on June 23, a race was under way. The Israelis were racing to destroy Iranian missiles and launchers before the Iranians launched enough missile salvos to deplete the Israeli interceptor magazine. Considering estimates placed Iranian ballistic missile stocks at about 2,000-3,000 before the war started, the Iranians would eventually exhaust Israeli interceptors if they weren’t attrited, making the left-of-launch or missile-defeat element of the Israeli strategy critical. If the Iranians had the missiles and launchers available to continue generating salvos against Israel, there would have come an inflection point in the amount of damage they were able to do, and that inflection point would have arrived once Israel ran out of interceptors.”​...
..Trump was compelled to announce his ceasefire on June 23  to save Israel from running out of interceptors as Iran accelerated its strikes, according to the rope-a-dope strategy​...
 ..“According to the FY 2025 Missile Defense Agency budget, each THAAD interceptor costs approximately $12.7 million. The minimum of 39 THAAD interceptors therefore cost over $495 million. The budget projects only 32 THAADs will be procured in FY 2026, so more than an entire year’s worth of interceptors were fired in twelve days (The production rate in FY 2025 was only 12 interceptors.)​ ...
​..The official Israeli state admission is that almost 90,000 Israelis fled the country through December 31, 2024.   The exodus this year, accelerating from June 13, is “Dunkerkian”, Cook says. For Israel and the Jewish diaspora, this war damage inflicted by Iran has reversed the national ideology of the Aliyah – that the Zionist state is the safe refuge for Jews. This is a regime-changing outcome for Israel, not for Iran.​..
​..“It is likely that many more interceptors have been used since not all the Iranian strikes were recorded in the videos. But these estimates provide an open-source baseline… Additionally, the U.S. has been aiding Israel in intercepting Iranian strikes. The U.S. Navy has reportedly been contributing and SM-3 interceptor debris has been spotted,”

  Simplicius,  Humiliation: Israel Tucks Tail After Failing All Objectives in War against Victorious Iran
Thus, Israel was slowly losing its capability to deal damage, and more importantly, rapidly losing its capability to reflect damage from Iranian ballistic missiles. Thus, a quick claim of “victory” was in order to wrap things up before the humiliation got too palpable for the general populace.
​  But how far does the deception go, exactly? Trump’s team continues to vehemently contend that Iran’s facilities were “completely obliterated”—specifically making certain to not leave it to guesses, or ‘open ended’ in any way.​

"The Trump administration has discussed possibly helping Iran access as much as $30 billion to build a civilian-energy-producing nuclear program, easing sanctions, and freeing up billions of dollars in restricted Iranian funds – all part of an intensifying attempt to bring Tehran back to the negotiating table, four sources familiar with the matter said," a fresh Thursday CNN report says.
​  "Key players from the US and the Middle East have talked with the Iranians behind the scenes even amid the flurry of military strikes in Iran and Israel over the past two weeks, the sources said," the report continues. "Those discussions have continued this week after a ceasefire deal was struck, the sources said."
​  The report says multiple early-stage proposals are under discussion, but all based on a key non-negotiable: that Iran must halt all uranium enrichment. However, this is one red line that Tehran has been insistent it won't give in to, as a matter of national sovereignty.​

​  Andrew Korybko ​shines a flashlight under the bed:  Trump’s Disbanding Of A Secret “Deep State” Working Group Raises Hopes Of Peace With Russia​   ​  Its inter-agency members sought to sabotage the Russian-US rapprochement.
​  According to Reuters, “Ideas ranged from tailored economic deals designed to peel some countries out of Russia's geopolitical orbit to covert special operations efforts”, the first scenario of which included a proposal to “incentivize” Kazakhstan into cracking down on Russia’s evasion of Western sanctions. That country has been drifting Westward for some time already, which could pose challenges for Russia and China as explained here in summer 2023, but it doesn’t appear that anything came from that scheme.
​  The second scenario, however, might have speculatively been connected to Ukraine’s strategic drone strikes against Russia in early June. No one can say for certain whether or not Trump knew about this in advance, but Reuters’ revelation about the existence of this previously unreported “deep state” working group lends credence to those of his supporters who claimed that he didn’t. After all, it’s entirely possible that this was orchestrated by them without his knowledge.​..
​..The Secretary of Defense recently announced that aid for Ukraine will be slashed in the next budget while the Secretary of the Treasury warned against new anti-Russian sanctions.

​  Free Speech Travesty: German Pensioner Who Called Green Economic Minister Habeck An 'Idiot' Has Been Convicted

..In Germany, any kind of “unconstitutional symbol” basically means you were sharing swastikas or other symbols associated with the Nazi regime. Most people suddenly thought Niehoff was some kind pro-Nazi activist.
​  The reality is that he was comparing the left-liberal traffic light government, which was in power at the time, to the era of National Socialism. In other words, he was criticizing the Nazis, not praising them.​

​  Gilbert Doctorow,   ‘Judging Freedom’: How Weak Is NATO?
​  The reasons why the commitment of all NATO member states yesterday to raise their military budgets to 5% of GDP from the present 2% was political theater as much as the fawning of Secretary General Rutte over Donald Trump was theater.
​  However, this theater was not staged for our amusement. It had business to achieve, which was to prepare an exit ramp from NATO for Mr Trump and the USA.  Of course, the American president cannot take the country out of NATO in the legal sense, since that would require a two-thirds vote of Congress which he cannot expect to receive. But he can sharply curtail American contributions to the NATO budget and reduce US military forces on the continent now... The overriding message I was making is that we should pay attention not to the words of Trump and his associates, which are largely double-talk intended to confuse the journalists, whom Trump despises. We should follow the direct consequences of his actions.​
