Injecting Garbage Soup

 Testing Prototypes,


  There is a lot here with adverse events and deaths from VAERS, which underreports by 40X to 100X, since it is so hard to use. The government uses it for "signals" about problems, not factual accounting. These signals are hundreds or thousands of times higher than what would usually get a vaccine pulled, but not the "vaccines". Do scroll the Executive Summary.
CDC Finally Released Its VAERS Safety Monitoring Analyses for COVID Vaccines via FOIA​  
CDC’s VAERS safety signal analysis based on reports from Dec. 14, 2020 – July 29, 2022 for mRNA COVID-19 vaccines shows clear safety signals for death and a range of highly concerning thrombo-embolic, cardiac, neurological, hemorrhagic, hematological, immune-system and menstrual adverse events (AEs) among U.S. adults.

​  Pharmaceutical analyst Sasha Latypova did a 17 minute interview with Clayton Morris on "Redacted", and was mostly left to speak her well prepared information​. These "vaccines" for COVID are all the property of the Department of Defense until they are injected. They are "prototype countermeasures" for use in biological warfare, by their legal definition. The laws and regulations governing them have been deeply hidden from the beginning.    https://sashalatypova.substack.com/p/i-was-interviewed-by-clayton-morris
This recreates verbally the information I sent recently in printed form, in Pandemic Martial Law  https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/pandemic-martial-law

  The "Garbage Soup" interview that Sasha did with Tessa Lena is 70 minutes of explaining the lack of any regulation of the manufacture of these products. Sasha's career was in assuring best manufacturing practices for drugs. She first studied this class of drugs in 2009, when they were intended to be used in terminal cancer, never as a prophylaxis. Their inherent hazard profile is akin to cancer-chemotherapy. She came out of retirement to research what was happening when she saw flagrant violation of safety and ethical standards from the beginning, notably the denial of other forms of treatment to those infected with COVID. The manufacturing in large vats is extremely haphazard, as is every step to the injection, and it is all completely protected by the US military. CDC and FDA involvement are strictly cover-stories. This can only be intentional.   https://rumble.com/v1p69bf-c-19-injections-regulatory-and-manufacturing-fraud-tessa-lena-tallks-to-ale.html

A Midwestern Doctor:  Why Is The Vaccine Killing Our Young Men And Women?
A new study provides valuable clues about the toxicity of the spike protein

​This discusses a lot of different modes of injury and death from "vaccine products" that induce spike-protein creation in the body of the recipient. This has been found to be directly cardiotoxic in a recent study where young recipients with myocarditis were compared to recipients without myocarditis. the important difference was the presence of spike protein in the bloodstreams of those with myocarditis.​ The spike-protein was intact and not bound by antibodies, so some recipients make the spike but not neutralizing antibodies. A consideration is that monoclonal antibodies against the 1/2020 spike protein may be useful in treating myocarditis from the "vaccines". This is not acknowledged as "a thing" by authorities.

Peter McCullough MD discusses this same study:
Circulating Spike Protein that Evades Antibodies,  Understanding Determinants of COVID-19 Vaccine Induced Myocarditis
​  ​Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard School of Medicine, had 13 young boys and 3 girls hospitalized with myocarditis and available for study. Yonker et al found all the subjects had large quantities of free circulating Spike protein generated from the vaccines while control subjects without myocarditis did not.​..
..This “positive” paper on the pathophysiology of COVID-19 vaccine induced myocarditis should spur more research on thousands of young persons now suffering with heart damage from the vaccine debacle.

  Another new study, this one from Taiwan. Cardiac side effects are common after mRNA "vaccination". Note the use of "only" in the conclusion. It should be zero.
Changes of ECG parameters after BNT162b2 vaccine in the senior high school students
..Among 7934 eligible students, 4928 (62.1%) were included in the study. The male/female ratio was 4576/352. In total, 763 students (17.1%) had at least one cardiac symptom after the second vaccine dose, mostly chest pain and palpitations. The depolarization and repolarization parameters (QRS duration and QT interval) decreased significantly after the vaccine with increasing heart rate. Abnormal ECGs were obtained in 51 (1.0%) of the students, of which 1 was diagnosed with mild myocarditis and another 4 were judged to have significant arrhythmia....
..Conclusion: Cardiac symptoms are common after the second dose of BNT162b2 vaccine, but the incidences of significant arrhythmias and myocarditis are only 0.1%.

Germany, the Birthplace of the Pfizer-BioNtech COVID-19 Vaccine, Now Wants to Cancel Its Vaccine Deal

​  Switzerland destroys millions and millions of "vaccine" doses, keeps buying them on-contract, and looks forward to continuing destruction of these products.
​  ​Switzerland, home to less than 9 million people, is one of the biggest mRNA vaccine customers in the world relative to population. The’ve already received a staggering 33 million Covid vaccine doses, only a little over half of which were ever administered. The small country is now sitting on 13.5 million doses, nervously awaiting the delivery of a further 2 million in the coming weeks, and surely lamenting that 11.6 million more are scheduled to arrive by the end of 2023. The vast majority of these will sit for some months in freezers before the Swiss Confederation destroys them. The country already binned more than eleven million doses last year, the greater part of them after a deal to supply surplus snake oil to the third world via the failed Covax initiative fell through because nobody in Africa wants this stuff either.

​From Ugo Bardi's blog: The attack on Western Europe: you cannot win a war if you don't understand that you are fighting one.
​  ​Yet there’s an alternative possibility: the US got involved in Ukraine in order to provoke Russia; it took the various actions that it did, starting in 2008, with the aim of inciting conflict between Russia and Ukraine (though not necessarily all-out war).
​  ​Why would it do this? Two primary reasons. First, to get a geostrategic rival bogged down in a costly and protracted conflict, thereby degrading its economy and armed forces. Second, to drive a wedge between Europe and Russia, thereby limiting future cooperation between them and cementing the power of the US-led NATO alliance.​..
​..​Here’s what Viktor Orbán reportedly told the journalist Sohrab Ahmari when asked about the potentially devastating consequences of Europe’s energy sanctions against Russia:
​  "The most cynical Hungarian answer is that that is exactly what Washington wants to bring about: to downgrade German manufactures and sever the energy-manufacturing synergy between Russia and Germany, to end Europe’s aspirations to “strategic autonomy” and induce a total dependence on America."​ ...
..According to the camp that emphasises US/NATO involvement, all the trouble began when NATO declared at the April 2008 Bucharest Summit that Ukraine and Georgia “will become members”. Putin apparently “flew into a rage”, warning that “if Ukraine joins NATO, it will do so without Crimea and the eastern regions. It will simply fall apart.”​ ...
​..​“Ukrainian entry into NATO is the brightest of all red lines for the Russian elite (not just Putin)”. Burns added, “In more than two and a half years of conversations with key Russian players, from knuckle-draggers in the dark recesses of the Kremlin to Putin’s sharpest liberal critics, I have yet to find anyone who views Ukraine in NATO as anything other than a direct challenge to Russian interests.”​ ...
​..We’ve all seen the clip of Biden ominously warning, “if Russia invades … there will be no longer Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.” And most of us have also seen the clip of Victoria Nuland stating, “I want to be clear with you today: if Russia invades Ukraine, one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward”.
​  ​Less well known is that in the years leading up to Russia’s invasion, about dozen other officials openly threatened to “end”, “halt”, “stop”, “kill”, “cancel”, “shut down”, “take out”, “terminate” and “put an end to” Nord Stream 2...
​..​Whatever else may be true, geopolitical developments since the start of Russia’s invasion certainly look convenient from the perspective of US hawks: Russia’s military has been severely weakened; Nord Stream 2 has been sanctioned and sabotaged; US LNG exports to Europe have surged; European companies have started relocating to America; and the NATO alliance is stronger than ever. US hawks 1; everyone else 0.

​Pepe Escobar,  As Beijing’s Belt and Road Initiative enters its 10th year, a strong Sino-Russian geostrategic partnership has revitalized the BRI across the Global South.
​  Beijing will be focusing simultaneously on several nodes of the Global South, especially neighbors in ASEAN and across Eurasia.
  Think, for instance, the Beijing-funded Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway, Southeast Asia’s first: a BRI project opening this year as Indonesia hosts the rotating ASEAN chairmanship. China is also building the East Coast Rail Link in Malaysia and has renewed negotiations with the Philippines for three railway projects.
  Then there are the superposed interconnections. The EAEU will clinch a free trade zone deal with Thailand. On the sidelines of the epic return of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to power in Brazil, this past Sunday, officials of Iran and Saudi Arabia met amid smiles to discuss – what else – BRICS+. Excellent choice of venue: Brazil is regarded by virtually every geopolitical player as prime neutral territory.
  From Beijing’s point of view, the stakes could not be higher, as the drive behind BRI 2.0 across the Global South is not to allow China to be dependent on western markets. Evidence of this is in its combined approach towards Iran and the Arab world.
  China losing both US and EU market demand, simultaneously, may end up being just a bump in the (multipolar) road, even as the crash of the collective west may seem suspiciously timed to take China down.
  The year 2023 will proceed with China playing the New Great Game deep inside, crafting a globalization 2.0 that is institutionally supported by a network encompassing BRI, BRICS+, the SCO, and with the help of its Russian strategic partner, the EAEU and OPEC+ too. No wonder the usual suspects are dazed and confused.


  Tom Luongo looks at NATO-member Turkey's increasingly independent national stance under Erdogan, who survived a US-led coup in 2015, by fleeing to Iran on very short notice from Vladimir Putin, which saved Erdogan's life and government. Turkey is central to energy flows into southern Europe, sea shipping through the straits, and has the second largest NATO army. It used to have very healthy trade with Syria, the foundation of both economies, until the US/NATO began the attempted coup/revolution in Syria, and Turkey was forced to betray their neighbor.
  Turkey is taking diplomatic steps to restore full neighborly trade and diplomacy with Syria, get Turkish troops out of Syria, and coordinate this with Russia. The meetings have begun and the changes are underway. Turkey can be ejected from NATO, but NATO will lose more than Turkey will in that arrangement. US forces will need to withdraw from Syria and will lose Incirlik air base. 
  That being said, Erdogan has been a handful for Putin to deal with, but Putin has patiently done so all of that time. Erdogan's political position is always in flux, and he will benefit in elections this fall by having arranged peace with Syria, and repatriated most of the Syrian refugees in Turkey.
"But the timing of this is the most inconvenient for the US/UK neocons who are clearly ramping up a 2023 regime change operation against Putin in Russia.  
​  ​When you put it all together — Erdogan facing stiff opposition in the polls, hyperinflation, unrest at home, and an election later this year — ending the war in Syria had to be tops on his to-do list for 2023​"​... ​ ​
.."It means that Syria will shoot down an Israeli F-16 at some point and Israel will have to take it.  Or it will provoke Bibi to do something so rash that no one will be able to spin it in his favor.
​  ​Davos is hanging Israel out to dry at the UN, driving the Neocons to the point of alcoholism.
​  ​Either way, what Putin has done here, with Erdogan’s help, is turn the entire power dynamic of aggression on its head.  
​  ​Now, the Russians can allow Syria and Iran to ‘defend themselves’ while keeping his hands mostly clean there.
​  ​Now the real ‘bluff calling’ phase of this situation begins
.​"​

M.K. Bhadrakumar , ​Biden’s existential angst in Ukraine
​  ​Laura Cooper, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, International Security Affairs for Russia, Ukraine, Eurasia. Cooper stated explicitly that the war in Ukraine threatens the US’ global standing:
​  ​“From an overall strategic perspective, it is hard to emphasise enough the devastating consequences if Putin were to be successful in achieving his objective of taking over Ukraine. This would rewrite international boundaries in a way that we have not seen since World War II. And our ability to reverse these gains and to support and stand by the sovereignty of a nation, is something that resonates not just in Europe, but all around the world.”

​  ​The cat is out of the bag, finally — the US is fighting in Ukraine to preserve its global hegemony. Coincidence or not, in a sensational interview in Kiev, Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov also blurted out in the weekend that Kiev has consciously allowed itself to be used by NATO in the bloc’s wider conflict with Moscow!

Tessa Interviews John

 Non-Robots,


  Tessa Lena and I had a good talk a couple of months ago, about my experience of practicing medicine during COVID, treating people early as outpatients, the politics of that, including the politics of dehumanizing "the unvaccinated", which did not reach the critical buy-in to put people into concentration camps, which was prepared, and openly advocated, for instance in New York, Canada and Australia.
  Tessa has edited this into an interview. I'm somewhat embarrassed about how kindly she describes me, but here it is:

Go Down Gardening is the blog post from October 2021, telling the tale of my firing from the clinic, for refusing COVID "vaccination", while planting winter vegetables for my coworkers.   https://www.johndayblog.com/2021/10/go-down-gardening.html

Russian Orthodox Ceasefire

Christian Soldiers,

​  ​Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, called on Thursday for both sides of the war in Ukraine to observe a Christmas truce, a step dismissed by Kyiv as a cynical trap.
Many Orthodox Christians, including those living in Russia and Ukraine, celebrate Christmas on Jan. 6-7.​..​​  
 ..Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday ordered Moscow’s armed forces to hold a 36-hour cease-fire in Ukraine this weekend for the Russian Orthodox Christmas holiday, the Kremlin said.​..​
​..​A senior aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Mykhailo Podolyak, cast the Russian Orthodox Church as a "war propagandist" that had incited the "mass murder" of Ukrainians and the militarisation of Russia.
"The statement of the Russian Orthodox Church about the 'Christmas Truce' is a cynical trap and an element of propaganda," he said.​.. 
​..​The Russian troops will stop their attacks and offensive artillery strike​s​ during the announced time span.

​  ​Russia says Ukraine is shelling Russian military positions during a 36-hour ceasefire, which Kyiv and its allies have dismissed as a sham.
The Russian defence ministry said its positions had come under attack in the Luhansk, Donetsk and Zaporizhia regions but that its troops were observing the ceasefire.

​M.K.Bhadrakumar ,  (Netanyahu is a player, as is Erdogan, though they are not "friends". Netanyahu wants somebody to nuke Iran. He will trade for that.)
​  In his second coming as Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu has hit the ground running...
​..​First, Putin is at war with the US and the Western world who are Israel’s traditional allies. But Netanyahu is anything but a one-dimensional man. Trust him to turn challenges into new opportunities.  
​  ​Second, recapturing the verve in the relationship with Moscow has a  great deal of collateral significance. Russia has become a full-fledged West Asian actor today and, arguably, in certain ways makes a more effective regional partner for Israel than the US. The US’ retrenchment is plain to see and the ensuing decline of its capacity to leverage allies such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE or Egypt hits Israeli interests.
​  ​Third, during these 18 months that Netanyahu was out of office, Russia and Iran have turned around their difficult relationship into a quasi-alliance, thanks to western sanctions against Moscow. Netanyahu senses the folly of the West trying to “erase” Russia...​  ​The Kremlin feels elated that Netanyahu is back in the diplomatic circuit. What is most gratifying will be that unlike the previous Israeli set-up, Netanyahu will not passively accept a subaltern role in the US-Israeli partnership.
​  ​Netanyahu has extensive networking with American elites and he won’t hesitate to leverage it if Israeli interests are at stake. And, without doubt, Israel is a stakeholder in the Ukraine crisis and Israeli interests are well served by creating space for peace talks to commence between Moscow and Kiev.
​  ​Netanyahu has Putin’s ears and can play a role for the Biden Administration, too, like no other western leader can perform today. On the other hand, Iran’s nuclear programme is turning into a fuming volcano and a point may come very soon when Netanyahu will be compelled to act. And that could happen in the 2024 election year, something that the Biden Administration can ill-afford to see happening. Suffice it to say, the Ukraine conflict and Iran’s bomb are joined at the hips, as it were.
​  ​Putin said in a message to Netanyahu on Thursday, “In Russia, we greatly appreciate your personal and longstanding contribution to strengthening friendly relations between our countries.” Russia’s foreign ministry said it was “ready for constructive cooperation” with Israel to “clear up the climate in the Middle East and the international scene in general”.
​  ​On December 22, Putin called Netanyahu to congratulate him on his election victory and the establishment of a new government, while Netanyahu’s office disclosed in a statement that the conversation mainly revolved around the conflict in Ukraine. Netanyahu told Putin he hopes a resolution to end hostilities will be found as soon as possible, and the consequent suffering.
​  ​Netanyahu also told Putin that he is determined to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and curb Tehran’s attempts to establish military presence in Lebanon and Syria along Israel’s northern border.
​  ​To be sure, Putin is all ears and eyes for Netanyahu. The point is, Moscow gains if diplomacy reappears on the wasteland of Ukraine issue. Certainly, it is  far from the case that Russia is enjoying the destruction of Ukraine or the sorrows of the fraternal people.

​  The CIA is the biggest drug running cartel into the US, ever since Vietnam. Is it a civil war if the DoD fights the CIA? Just askin'.​ What's Dick Cheney think?
​  ​Former President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he would order the US military to declare cartels as enemy combatants if he were to be reelected president.
​  ​Trump said that he would deploy the Navy and Special Forces to defend the security of the Western hemisphere.​..
​  "The drug cartels are waging war on America—and it's now time for America to wage war on the cartels," President Trump said in his announcement. "The drug cartels and their allies in the Biden administration have the blood of countless millions on their hands. Millions and millions of families and people are being destroyed. When I am back in the White House, the drug kingpins and vicious traffickers will never sleep soundly again."​...
​  ​"Restore all Trump border policies and fully secure the border"
"Deploy all necessary military assets, including the US Navy, to impose a full naval embargo on the cartels, to ensure they cannot use our region’s waters to traffic illicit drugs to the US"
"Order the Department of Defense to make appropriate use of special forces, cyber warfare, and other covert and overt actions to inflict maximum damage on cartel leadership, infrastructure, and operations"
"Designate the major drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations"
 "Cut off the cartels’ access to the global financial system"
• "Get full cooperation of neighboring governments to dismantle the cartels, or else fully expose the bribes and corruption that protect these criminal networks"
• "Ask Congress to ensure drug smugglers and traffickers can receive the Death Penalty"

Rep. Adam Schiff Pressured Twitter To Ban Journalist
​  ​Schiff’s office claimed that Sperry and the other accounts had “repeatedly promoted false QAnon conspiracies and harassed [redacted].”
​  ​QAnon refers to a movement of people who promote conspiracy theories related to government officials and other elite figures, some of which have turned out to be true.
​  ​The message also showed Schiff’s office wanting the removal of “any and all content” about staff on the House Intelligence Committee, including posts, shared content, and reactions to that content.
​  ​The message, an internal Twitter email made public by journalist Matt Taibbi, showed a Twitter official saying “this isn’t feasible/we don’t do this” to the latter request.​..
..Sperry was ultimately banned by Twitter in February 2021, about three months after the newly revealed message. Sperry was told that his account violated Twitter’s rules, but he wasn’t informed how.
“Explains why Twitter could never give me a reason for my suspension. It was Schiff!” Sperry said this week.

  Most mainstream media reports rejected the theory that Hamlin’s cardiac arrest might be linked to COVID-19 vaccines, using terms such as “far-right,” “vile,” “anti-vaxxer” and “conspiracy theorists.”
  However, Dr. Peter McCullough told “Good Morning CHD” host Aimee Villella McBride why he believes the vaccines can’t be ruled out.McCullough, an internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist and leading expert on COVID-19 treatment, explained the possible role of the vaccines in cardiac arrest and other heart injuries among athletes. He explained that any physician watching replays of Hamlin’s collapse immediately starts thinking through a differential diagnosis of what could have caused it.
​  ​He said:
  ​Let me tell you that I did see head and neck contact with a tackle, which is not uncommon at all in football. Remember that the shoulder pads have a breastbone protector, [a] pretty substantial breastbone [protector], so they take helmets in the chest all the time.”
​  ​McCullough acknowledged that when a baseball hits an unprotected breastbone, it can precipitate a cardiac arrest, but said he was not aware of that happening in pro football, leading him to rule out commotio cordis.
​  ​“And as I watched things unfold it was relatively clear that [Hamlin] was in a primary cardiac arrest,” he said.
McCullough believes there is a public health obligation to disclose what happened. He said:
​  ​“This is a player who is employed by a team, and the team and the league mandated the vaccine very publicly.
“So we have a situation where we have a public figure, the public employer mandates the vaccine in a very public manner, there is a disclosure that 95% of the players have taken the vaccine, and the FDA says the vaccine causes myocarditis and the published peer-reviewed literature says that it can be fatal.”

​  ​“This is not a time for privacy,” McCullough said. “The public needs to know that diagnosis because he was under one of these mandates and this happened on the national and world stage.”

​  He's gonna' be fine now. Extubated. Yeah, he'll get a pacemaker and won't play football again, but say a prayer and forget all about this...
​  ​Damar Hamlin’s breathing tube is out and he told team, ‘Love you boys,’ via video, Buffalo Bills say
Hamlin “continues to progress remarkably in his recovery,” his “neurologic function remains intact and he has been able to talk to his family and care team,” the Bills tweeted Friday morning, citing his physicians...
..Hamlin on Thursday had been communicating only nonverbally because he still was intubated. Upon awakening, his mind was still on the game as he scribbled his first question on a clipboard: “Did we win?” a doctor said.

​  2 or more people could get injected from the same 5-6 dose vial, and one might get almost no active-ingredient, while the other would get a double-dose.​
​  ​It Doesn't Add Up!
Nobody knows what's in the vials, nor how much of it is there
​  ​The vials, after dilution, contain 7.5 doses by liquid volume, and they always did.  Pfizer relabeled vials from 5 to 6 doses without making any changes to the product but rewarding themselves with 20% more revenue while selling the same vials with the same effective number of doses.  Genius.  The dose therefore is sort of probabilistic.​..
..​mRNA and LNPs are known to be highly unstable and to degrade rapidly.  They also will not distribute evenly in a vial as this is a manually made water-fat mixture with fat tending to float to the top, especially after several hours.  The doses are extremely uneven in composition of ingredients, some will contain 50%+ more mRNA and would this introduce 5-6 trillion extra mRNA molecules in the injection which will distribute all over the body in minutes, rapidly make toxic spikes, and may kill a person quickly.  Pfizer’s internal pharmacovigilance report obtained by FOIA had thousands of severe adverse events and deaths documented in 2 months after roll-out with median onset below 48 hrs.  Some doses will end up containing mostly water.  We are all familiar with the fact that lots of people have no adverse events after the injections, while many thousands have died, got severely injured and permanently disabled by these injections.  My own educated guess on this topic is that the doses from freshly opened and stirred vials would be the deadliest ones.

​ ​The World Health Organization shared a video on Twitter promoting the claim that anti-vaccine activism is deadlier than global terrorism, nuclear proliferation, and gun violence.

Release Of Information

 Requesting Facts,


  Cardiologist Sanjay Verma MD has the best explanation I have yet seen on the medical evaluation process for athletes who have acute cardiac events.
​  ​Cardiac Arrest and Sudden Cardiac Death in AthletesI​  
  I​n this discussion it seems many (on all sides of the discussion) are subject to some confirmation bias and some deference to authority (quoting someone they respect but not understanding the pathophysiology themselves). While some aspects of the situation are speculative at best, other aspects can be interpreted with 100% confidence.
​  ​It really helps to put aside personal ego and not take any aspects of this discussion personally (and refrain from ad hominem attacks). Much of this can be explained or not explained with provable pathophysiology.

​  Damar Hamlin appears to be neurologically intact as he comes out of induced-sedation, holding hands and speaking to family and loved ones.
Time to forget this whole thing? Who needs answers? (Some football players still want answers, though.​)

New Twitter bombshell: How American spies used false claims of Russian election interference to bring the tech giant to heel
https://www.rt.com/news/569389-politicized-xenophobic-witch-hunt/

  MK Bhadrakumar has further insights on the midnight, new years massacre of Russian recruits in their barracks, as they phoned-home.
​  ​US climbs escalation ladder in Ukraine​ 
​  ​In all probability, the message conveyed to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov from his American counterpart Antony Blinken via Israel’s new foreign minister Eli Cohen concerned the Ukrainian missile attack on Makeyevka (Donetsk) on New Year Day at 12.02 am  killing 89 Russian conscripts...
​..​At any rate, although Russian intelligence would have a fair idea of the location of NATO officers conducting the Ukrainian operations, they have not been so far targeted. That is why, the Russian MOD’s decision on Monday to highlight that US-supplied Himars missiles have killed scores of Russian soldiers on Sunday night would have caused some uneasiness in Washington.
​  ​The big question is whether Moscow will also now go up the escalation ladder and directly target American military personnel deployed in Ukraine.
​  ​Of course, any killing of American military personnel in Ukraine will make very damaging headlines in the US
news cycle for the Biden Administration...
 ..The Russian readout of Cohen’s phone conversation with Lavrov on Tuesday mentioned that the latter “informed his Israeli counterpart about certain aspects of the situation in Ukraine in the context of Russia’s special military operation.”
​  ​Lavrov probably had his say on Blinken’s charade that the US had nothing to do with the killing of 89 Russian soldiers. The fact that as many was six deadly HIMARS missiles were fired in rapid sequence at a single target at 12.02 am shows a high level of certainty on the part of the Ukrainian side and/or their western mentors that maximum damage would be inflicted.
​  ​The intelligence inputs in real time show direct American participation in the horrific operation targeting the Russian conscripts’ New Year party just when the toasts began. Of course, whipping up public sentiments in Russia against Putin is a core American objective in the war.  

​Moon of Alabama (Germany)  ​Ukraine - The Big Push To End The War (There is mass delusion about the realities of this war. That must be clarified first.)
​  ​The 'western' propaganda is still quite strong. However, as I pointed out in March last year propaganda does not change a war and lies do not win it. Its believability is shrinking.
​  ​Former Lt.Col. Alex Vershinin, who in June pointed out that industrial warfare is back and the 'West' was not ready to wage it, has a new recommendable piece out which analyses the tactics on both sides, looks ahead and concludes that Russia will almost certainly win the war... (Colonel Macgregor says the same thing​.​)
..Casualties are expected in wars and the Russians, with their steady remembrance of the second world war as their Great Patriotic War, know this well. Screw ups also happen and at times some bad leadership decisions puts people into the wrong place where the enemy can and will kill them. That is what happened in Makeyevka (Donetsk) on New Years day 2 minutes after midnight. Some 100 Russian reservists died. The Russian leadership pointed out that they were killed by U.S. HIMARS missiles..​.
..Those are four HIMARS, three M-777, some Czech 'aid', 800 HIMARS missiles and some Ukrainian guns that were lost in just one day. That was probably more than the 'West' can deliver over the next months...
​..​This only confirms the point Alex Vershinin was making. Russia has cared for its resources while the Ukraine, and NATO, have wasted their stuff mostly in senseless frontal campaigns against well protected Russian troops.
​  ​Yves Smith of Naked Capitalism points out that Vershinin has left out the economic side of the war where the picture is as bad for Ukraine as it is on the ground...
​..​December interview the Ukrainian war leader General Valery Zaluzhny gave to the Economist.:
​  ​General Zaluzhny, who is raising a new army corps, reels off a wishlist. “I know that I can beat this enemy,” he says. “But I need resources. I need 300 tanks, 600-700 IFVs [infantry fighting vehicles], 500 Howitzers.” The incremental arsenal he is seeking is bigger than the total armoured forces of most European armies.
​  ​What Zaluzhny really says is that the war is lost if he does not get those resources. He knows well that is he will not receive them...
​..​Due to currently warmer than normal weather the ground in Ukraine is not yet frozen and the mud will return in March and April. That gives only a two months window to move forward.​..
..The big question is how the U.S. will respond. If the Ukraine falls the U.S. and NATO will have lost their war against Russia. That will cause serious political damage...
​..​The effect of losing the war will be noticed in global and domestic politics. 'Western' global standing will be degraded and the leadership of the war party will receive some well deserved bashing.
​  ​But will the U.S. let that happen? Can it allow itself to lose this war? Or will it escalate? Even when that is likely to only worsen its situation?

Russian drones far cheaper than Ukrainian air defenses​  (The Patriot air-defense missiles ​will ​cost $3-4 million each)
​​  The drones that Russia uses are priced at around $20,000 per unit, while a surface-to-air missile from Ukraine’s arsenal ranges from $140,000 for a Soviet-era S-300 to $500,000 for a US-supplied NASAM system, he said.

U.S. Forces in Europe Prepare for War With Russia​ (What can stop the war machine?​ Light infantry will be vaporized by artillery. USAF can't own this sky.​)

​  ​About 4,000 members of the US Army’s 101st Airborne Division are still deployed in Romania as part of a military buildup in Eastern Europe that President Biden ordered last year.​..
​..​The military buildup in Eastern Europe has brought US troop levels on the continent to over 100,000 for the first time since 2005. The Pentagon is expected to decide soon if it will maintain the current levels for the long term or reduce or increase them.​ ​

Lies Kill

 Conflicted,


​  ​A bill which allows the state of California to punish doctors over 'false information about Covid-19 vaccinations and treatments' went into effect on January 1st.
​  Under the new law (AB 2098), the state's Medical Board would categorize dispensing information - such as the effectiveness of Ivermectin, or the Covid-19 vaccine's rapidly waning efficacy, as unprofessional conduct.​..
​  Biden Nominee Judge Fred Slaughter refused to halt the law, ruling that the law trumps free speech claims, and that it falls "within the longstanding tradition of regulations on the practice of medical treatments."
​  ​Another lawsuit, brought by Physicians for Informed Consent, was filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of California in early December. The plaintiffs, physician LeTrinh Hoang and Children's Health Defense, are being represented by Rick Jaffe, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Mary Holland, and argues that the state of California has weaponized the vague phrase "misinformation," and thereby has illegally targeted physicians who disagree with the government's public stance on Covid-19.

​  "Not related to any sort of vaccine." MD offered comforting words about "almost certainly a very rare condition called commotio cordis"​, minutes after Monday's game was postponed, apparently before Damar had that second cardiac-arrest in the ICU, without getting bumped in the chest.
​  "Commotio Cordis" is "commotion in the heart", fibrillation of the heart muscle, which is akin to cramping while shivering. Fibrillation rapidly exhausts the heart and does not pump blood.​ A rapid, sharp blow to the heart, at a certain point in the pumping cycle, at just the right part of the heart, can "very rarely" induce fibrillation. It's hard to make happen in animal models. It usually happens from a baseball, occasionally a hockey puck, not usually a steering wheel or air-bag, never a shoulder-pad.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24760424/

  A cardiologists who has treated many COVID and vaccine-injury patients, Peter McCullough MD, explains to Tucker Carlson.
An Obligation to Investigate Possible Role of COVID Vaccination in NFL Collapse

​  Dr. McCullough: ​Public Health Obligation to Disclose Cause of Cardiac Arrest and Sudden Death​ 
​  Events no Longer Private in Era of Mandated COVID-19 Vaccination
​  I​n the case of Damar Hamlin, that COVID-19 vaccine-induced subclinical myocarditis and then arrhythmic cardiac arrest on the field was at the top of the list. Tucker said that’s “fair.” I think it’s more than fair since the NFL had a COVID-19 vaccine mandate, as did the military, many corporations, universities, and schoolsIf an EUA vaccine is mandated, then those who have imposed this product on their players, employees, and students have an ethical public health obligation to tell the world what has happened as a result of the mandate and help all those impacted brace for what could happen next. Damar Hamlin is not just another “unexplained sudden adult death syndrome” case. It was “prime time” for the NFL and now “truth time” for the family, Buffalo Bills doctors, and the University of Cincinnati Medical Center staff. 
​  ​Did he take the vaccine, brand, and doses given? Is the clinical evaluation consistent with COVID-19 vaccine induced subclinical myocardits and resuscitated cardiac arrest? If not, what is the proven cause of his calamity (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, anomalous coronary arteries, catecholaminergic ventricular tachycardia, long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, pulmonary embolus, spinal cord/intracranial injury, etc.).

​  ​"Sudden cardiac death risk in contact sports increased by myocarditis: a case series"
​  ​A 2021 paper in the "European Heart Journal" provides additional grounds for considering subclinical vaccine-induced myocarditis as a possible contributing factor to Damar Hamlin's cardiac arrest.

​  Damar Hamlin is still in the ICU, still on a ventilator, "improving a little"​, but no details are available. He was mandated to have these experimental shots to play football. If he never plays again, which is almost certain, he has no legal recourse to compensation.

​  ​Japan Launches Official Investigation Into Millions of COVID Vaccine Deaths
​ ​Japanese researchers have been instructed to investigate the mechanisms by which experimental mRNA jabs could be causing deaths and severe adverse reactions.

​  Naked Capitalism posts an essay explaining the new paper in the BMJ publication, the Journal of Medical Ethics, on Covid-19 vaccine mandates.
The recommendation is to rescind mandates, because of evidence that there is more harm coming from the vaccine-products than good, that they do not prevent transmission, so there is no benefit to society, that they have little to no ("negative" after awhile) efficacy to prevent or diminish illness, that there has never been informed-consent to patients, and that there is no recourse to patients harmed or killed by the products.
It is written so as to be engaging and palatable to vaccine-as-sacrament true-believers. You might know somebody like that. Thanks Christine.

  A lot of Russian troops were housed in a converted technical school in Donetsk at midnight on December 31. A minute later, a lot of them were dead. They had been phoning home, which tagged them for attack. There is culpability at higher levels, also.
​  ​Russian Military Faces Rare Outrage At Home After Devastating Barracks Attack
​  ​The weekend strike on a Russian conscript barracks in Makiivka in Donetsk region which left possibly hundreds killed has sparked rare backlash and fury inside Russia, with even hardcore nationalists demanding answers and accountability of the military and government.
​  ​Russia had initially given an official death toll from the attack, which was allegedly conducted with US-supplied HIMARS rocket launchers, of 63 soldiers killed while Ukraine claims that it was actually up to 400. Later on Tuesday, the defense ministry upgraded the death toll to 89.
​  ​Some Russian military bloggers agree that it was likely more in the hundreds range, and have condemned military commanders for garrisoning troops in what's being widely described as an unprotected building easily exposed to strikes.

​  This "revenge", if you read at the bottom of the scroll, appears to have just preceded the Makiivka barracks strike.​ There were other Russian strikes, also.
Russian revenge for Makeevka: Strike "on air" on French TV - 100 dead Ukrainians and NATO advisers - 8 HIMARS & RM-70 systems were destroyed!

​  Scott Ritter looks at other-nationality troops in Ukraine, including American and UK mercenaries with combat experience, Moldovans (openly) and Poles (openly). Westerners are encouraged by their countries, possibly recruited for specific technical and command needs​, and are paid very well. Ritter discusses the lack of news about casualties. Moldovan army members can "volunteer" to fight for Ukraine. So can Polish army members. At least 15.000 Poles have gone to fight in Ukraine. Ritter suspects that "what is in it" for Poland is combat-training for those who survive, and pre-positioning in western Ukraine, which was once art of Poland, and Polish politicians would like to re-incorporate.

  Scott Ritter explains the many ways in which the US military is unprepared to fight the, "best in the world, right now", Russian military.
It is not just the lack of men, the lack of artillery ammunition and other ordnance to last more than 2 weeks, and the lack of training in this kind of warfare against a fully-prepared "Peer-enemy". There is a lack of industrial mobilization to supply such a war, and lack of any will among the American people to lose as many family members in the first month as died in 10 years in Vietnam. He feels that an American defeat would be assured in a war against Russia.

When Everybody Knows

 Witnesses,


  Tom Luongo has posted "The Russian Regime Change Trap", pointing out that there is a lot of ongoing talk about effecting regime change in Russia in the west. The reason he explains at length is that the neocon establishment has a foregone conclusion that Russia will again be turned over to western vulture-capitalism, as it was under Yeltsin in the 1990s. This carrion-feast is "divinely" ordained, but they are just being thwarted by Vladimir Putin again. He didn't go down with the Russian economy, as planned, so he needs to be taken-out as quickly as possible, by any means, so that history can resume its orderly progression.
  Luongo sees the "Davos Crowd", including Merkel, Macron and other Eurocrats, as being distinct from the more vicious and inelegant neocons, like Nuland & friends. He sees the long strategy to get Russia to build Nordstream-2, in order to pretend to plan a future together, as being cover to build a Ukrainian army to destroy Russia, as well as destroying the Russian investment so easily. 
  Merkel, Macron and Ukrainian politicians have endorsed that they were never serious about normalizing relations with Russia via the Minsk agreements. This stance, whether true or not, means that there has long been nobody "agreement capable" in the NATO world. 
  Luongo points out that Russia must therefore grind NATO meat, not merely Ukrainian meat in the grinder. 
  The Russian people do not have the same illusions that those in the west do. They know life is hard, war is bad, and Putin is not a perfect man. Russian government is still corrupt. Still, Putin is a Russian patriot, and this is existential war to save Russia from another round of the 1990s, so the Russian nation, government and armed forces all support this action, which will not falter.
  Therefore, as he sees it, NATO advancement against Russian forces will serve to bring NATO to the Russian meat-grinder, and already is.

  From the Hal Turner show: (If the west keeps feeding the grinder, the west will fare as Ukraine is faring. Going nuclear is the other choice.)
  The country of Poland has, over the past months, inserted fifteen thousand (15,000) regular, active-duty, Polish Army troops into Ukraine and they are waging illegal war against Russia inside Ukraine.
  This information comes from intel sources just back from the actual front lines inside Ukraine, and these sources are unimpeachable intel sources.
  Many have known for months that NATO countries have been sending "advisors" into Ukraine, to "teach" Ukrainian troops how to use advanced weapons being supplied by NATO countries.  But all along, NATO emphasized "we are not a party to the conflict."  That is a lie.
  NATO troops from Poland, and from the United States and United Kingdom are, in fact, participating in the war and this covert military participation is going to get a lot of us in America, and in Europe, killed.

  Turkey will have to follow-through and keep troops out of Syria, but it would then be "agreement capable" and have to exit NATO.
  Türkiye has agreed to fully withdraw its troops from northern Syria following tripartite talks involving Moscow, Ankara and Damascus earlier this week, Syrian newspaper Al-Watan has reported...
..Ankara and Damascus also expressed a common view that the Syrian-based Kurdish YPG militia, which Turkey associates with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), “are agents of Israel and the US, and pose a grave threat to both Türkiye and Syria.” ...
..A special trilateral commission will be created by Russia, Türkiye and Syria to ensure that the agreements reached in Moscow are honored, Al-Watan reported.
  Russia consolidates in East Mediterranean
 
  The United States has suffered yet another big setback in West Asia as the year 2022 draws to a close. The unfolding Turkish-Syrian reconciliation process under Russian mediation is to be seen as a saga of betrayal and vengeance...
..Syria was the ultimate test case and a real challenge for Erdogan. Ankara had invested heavily in the improvement of relations with Syria within the framework of the so-called Adana Agreement in 1998 in the downstream of Turkish military’s massive showdown with Damascus over the latter harbouring the PKK [Kurdish] leader Ocalan. Erdogan initially did not want Bashar al-Assad to lose power, and advised him to reform. The families of Erdogan and Assad used to holiday together...
..The Pentagon began aligning with the Syrian Kurdish groups linked to the PKK.  (In October 2014, US began providing supplies to Kurdish forces and in November 2015, US special forces were deployed in Syria.)...
..Indeed, since then, Erdogan had been protesting in vain that the US, a NATO ally, had aligned with a terrorist group (Syrian Kurds known as YPG) that threatened Turkiye’s sovereignty and territorial integrity...
..It is against such a backdrop that the two meetings in Moscow on Wednesday between the defence ministers and intelligence chiefs of Turkey and Syria in the presence of their Russian counterparts took place. Erdogan’s reconciliation process with Assad is quintessentially his sweet revenge for the American betrayal...
..On Thursday, Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar said: “At the meeting (in Moscow), we discussed what we could do to improve the situation in Syria and the region as soon as possible while ensuring peace, tranquility and stability… We reiterated our respect for the territorial integrity and sovereignty rights of all our neighbours, especially Syria and Iraq, and that our sole aim is the fight against terrorism, we have no other purpose.”
  Russian President Vladimir Putin has been counselling Erdogan in  recent years that Turkiye’s security concerns are best tackled in coordination with Damascus and that Adana Agreement could provide a framework of cooperation...
..The US resents Erdogan’s move to normalise with Assad — and that too, with Russia’s helping hand. It is now even more unlikely to give up its military presence in Syria or its alliance with the Syrian Kurdish group YPG (which Ankara regards as an affiliate of the PKK.)
  But the YPG will find itself in a tight spot. As Syria requests Turkiye to withdraw from its territories (Idlib and so-called operation areas) and stop supporting armed groups, Turkiye in return will insist on pushing the YPG away from the border...
.. Russian influence on Syria remains intact and Moscow will continue to shape Syria’s transition out of conflict zone and consolidate its own long-term presence in Eastern Mediterranean.
  OPEC Plus has gained traction. Russia’s ties with the Gulf states are steadily growing. The Russia-Iran strategic ties are at its highest level in history.

  Iran's Buy of the Century: 24 Plus 40 Russian Su-35 Fighters Land in Isfahan Along with 4 Mi-26s  (Translated from Greek)
  Iran has confirmed that it is taking delivery of a full Squadron of 24 Russian S-35S fighter jets causing an earthquake in the Middle East. Iran's PressTV news agency announced the purchase to the Iranian people in a video.
  An Iranian journalist also reported that the delivery of fighters to Iran will begin in the next few days. The base that will welcome them has been prepared.
  And this is just the beginning: 40 more Su-35s are coming along with S-400 anti-aircraft systems and in the future Su-57s.

  Twitter CEO Elon Musk announced Wednesday that the social media company’s new official policy will not penalize users for legitimately questioning scientific claims and narratives that are promoted in the media...

  Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, who makes $174,000 per year and has personal wealth (accrued in office) of $114,662,521 (2018), will step down from her leadership position, but is not retiring.

  In 2023 it will be all about the dollar  The international section of the Shanghai Gold Exchange will be used by Saudi Arabia for its yuan to gold transactions. It is therefore likely that some of China’s purchase of nearly 300 tonnes in recent weeks will be to provide liquidity to backstop this market.
  With regard to prospects for next year’s gold price, it should be noted that the major factor will be the fate of the dollar. It appears likely that dollar oil prices will increase in the coming months, while foreign holders of dollars will continue to reduce their dollar exposure, which in the year to October declined by $3.8 trillion. But a rising interest rate trend leading to falling financial asset values and the petroyuan replacing the petrodollar, events could coalesce into a perfect storm for the dollar.
  This is not how conventional analysts look at the gold price. They would argue that higher interest rates, if they occur, will drive gold lower. But that is an argument that denies the role of gold as money.

A Multipolar Shift with Energy and Dollar Disruptions, Victor Xing
Executive Summary
In the near term, China’s reopening and buying of ESPO (East Siberian Pacific Ocean, Russian) crude would likely erode the role of Brent & energy indices
Gulf nations envision the scope of petroyuan to be on par with demands for Chinese goods & technology transfer
Rising yuan payments for Russian energy and more China-Gulf bilateral trade imply future dollar demand decline
In the long term, more local currency trade settlements would erode dollar flows and Federal Reserve’s influence

Charles Hugh Smith, It's A New Era
  Making problems much worse by forcing more of whatever worked in the previous era into a saturated, increasing unstable new era--receives little attention or understanding.
  Eras may last decades, and only those who've lived long enough to recall previous eras have experienced the transition from one era to the next. The era of financialization, globalization and low-cost, abundant oil/natural gas began over 40 years ago in 1981.
  The era of digital / Internet technologies took off about 30 years ago. All of these dynamics accelerated in the early 2000s, roughly 20 years ago.
  Only those 60 and older experienced working in a previous era (pre-1981).
  All of these dynamics are entering a phase of nonlinear turbulence as the changes are outpacing these highly streamlined / optimized systems' ability to self-correct.
  This nonlinear instability is being accelerated by doing more of what worked in the previous era, in the mistaken belief that the 2020s are simply an extension of the eras that began 40 and 30 years ago.

“49% of American Adults believe it is likely that side effects of COVID-19 vaccines have caused a significant number of unexplained deaths, including 28% who think it’s Very Likely”...
..28% know someone directly they believe died from a vaccine. Even if the correlation is false (although I believe it is the opposite as many of the deaths are not recognized), 28% of the population believing the government and every authority they were raised their life to trust would push something this dangerous onto them shatters the institutional trust our entire society is built upon...
..When asked if they knew someone who they suspected had died from the vaccine, 33% of Democrats said yes, while 26% of both Republicans and those who were not affiliated with either party said yes. Rasmussen argues this (along with many other demographic response rates) suggests the poll’s results were valid, and explained this result being due Democrats, while being less likely to want to acknowledge a vaccine injury, likely knowing far more people who were vaccinated, and thus being exposed to a higher rate of deaths.

(24 year old) Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest and will not make a full recovery   , Steve Kirsch
Hamlin was vaccinated. The Buffalo Bills is a 100% vaccinated team...
..This was called “unprecedented” on ESPN. Hamlin has been intubated and currently listed in critical condition. All the announcers said they'd never seen it in the NFL. This was a joint decision by both the NFL and the players to stop the game. This is unprecedented.
  One of my nurse friends wrote, “How often has a young healthy football player that didn’t take that hard of a hit had a heart attack or stroke.”
  A tackle really made his heart stop? How? After decades of hard hits in the NFL, this has never happened.
  CPR was administered for 9 minutes. Normal is 3 to 5 minutes. After 10 minutes you’re basically dead...
Dr. Peter McCullough just wrote me (7:54pm):
  "I watched the play live both as a fan and a cardiologist and I saw blunt neck and chest trauma, a brief recovery after the tackle and then a classic cardiac arrest.  I have communicated to one of the most experienced trainers in the world and we agree that it was a cardiac arrest in the setting of a big surge of adrenalin.  If Damar Hamlin indeed took one of the COVID-19 vaccines, then subclinical vaccine-induced myocarditis must be considered in the differential diagnosis.   We have been told he was successfully defibrillated on the field and has been intubated and is not spontaneously breathing which is consistent with anoxic encephalopathy.  The nation prays for his complete recovery."…. 3 hours after he said that, the Buffalo Bills confirmed he was correct.

  Some of us remember the Tet Offensive in Vietnam, in very early 1968. My USMC-Major Dad had just gotten back from 'Nam a few weeks before the offensive, but we already knew things were much worse than advertised (Though Dad always maintained that "we could have won the war if we were allowed to.). 
  Walter Cronkite, on the CBS Evening News, commented with great concern that America might have been misled by the government, and the tide of public opinion, tensely divided until then, turned against the war. That was a "Paradigm-Shift".
  This appears to be the trigger for another Paradigm Shift in the common-wisdom of the American public. 
The US Government has been lying and killing Americans on purpose again.
