Sweating In Darkness,
I feel a lot of tension and urgency. It's not just me, I think. I'm sensitive to the vibes in our world. This feels like a critical moment of decision and action for our species, even though it just looks like another week of mounting threats of nuclear war.
Nuclear War is an existential threat, but the underlying threat, that nuclear armageddon is supposed to stampede us into accepting, is human slavery through technical means, the "Fourth Industrial Revolution". There is a series of steps to that end, each more inescapable than the last.

The baddies are willing to drag us into World War III, right to the brink of nuclear war, to cover up what they’re doing. They’re using one manufactured phony crisis after another to terrorize the public. People must understand that this is a pattern of deliberate psychological abuse, perpetrated by extremely powerful and wealthy people who despise us and desire absolute, tyrannical control over all human activity on this planet. They use wokeism and anti-nationalism simply as a means of redirecting justifiable populist anger over economic stagnation and stalled upward mobility into other, irrelevant issues. Let’s face it. All this rhetoric in the past decade about race, gender, sexuality, identity politics, it’s all divisive nonsense. There is only one fight, and it’s the fight around economic class, and that’s something that unites populists on the right and the left. There is no Left or Right anymore. It’s Us versus Them. And by Them, I mean the high-net-worth people. The human cattle ranchers.

This is a 9 minute speech against the escalation to Nuclear WW-3, which "cannot be won".
It is a sincere speech from the heart about nuclear holocaust.
"Fire those warmongers in both political parties who serve their masters in the military industrial complex."

It is difficult for (even) me to envision that the signature of Joe Biden on a piece of paper would surrender the Sovereignty of the United States to an unelected bureaucrat, appointed to be Director of the World Health Organization. If the bureaucrat declared a "pandemic emergency" he or she would be able to order lockdowns, massive spending by nations such as ours, and unlimited other "necessary measures". However, this is actually coming up next week.
The US Senate does not need to approve the loss of national sovereignty, because this has been legally designed as an "update to an existing treaty", which only requires a presidential signature. This is the wide open barn doors to technocratic global government, of which we have only had a little taste recently.
This is a crisis, but it just can't register in the human mind as such. It seems so ordinary...
If patriots in the US are not able to prevent the signature on the document, the easiest step to prevent, what hope is there for later nationalist success?
I am not advocating assassination, which would only change the signer of the document to "President Harris".

Tucker Carlson should have countless hours of security film analysis within a week. This pertains to that heretofore suppressed video evidence.
A Jan. 6 defendant asked U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras to unseal a video allegedly showing an undercover Metropolitan Police Department officer shouting “drain the swamp!” and “our house!” and encouraging protesters to climb barricades and enter the U.S. Capitol.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/court-asked-unseal-undercover-police-video-allegedly-showing-officer-inciting-capitol Sasha Latypova has this story about Florida Surgeon General Ladapo's letter to heads of the CDC and FDA, asking for clarification of the 4400% increase in life threatening events following vaccination, immediately following rollout of the COVID vaccines, as compared to all prior vaccine events in VAERS.
(But why should they answer this obviously white-supremacist right wing fanatic? Eh?)
Florida Surgeon General Dr. Ladapo Found VAERS Safety Signal. Now What? "Vaccine" mRNA is found circulating in the blood 4 weeks after injection. It was advertised as not getting into the bloodstream, but it was designed to get into the bloodstream and lymph nodes, including the spleen. That's what those lipid nanoparticles were made to do for specific reasons related to product performance. Notably, spike-protein was found in 6 out of 6 subjects 6 months after mRNA ``vaccination" in 2021, by an independent lab, as I recall. This explains why the body might make antibodies to "tolerate", rather than to destroy spike-protein.

Here is an official Chinese Government position paper, which details the moral justification for war against the US. This is the conclusion.
US Hegemony and Its Perils , Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China While a just cause wins its champion wide support, an unjust one condemns its pursuer to be an outcast. The hegemonic, domineering, and bullying practices of using strength to intimidate the weak, taking from others by force and subterfuge, and playing zero-sum games are exerting grave harm. The historical trends of peace, development, cooperation, and mutual benefit are unstoppable. The United States has been overriding truth with its power and trampling justice to serve self-interest. These unilateral, egoistic and regressive hegemonic practices have drawn growing, intense criticism and opposition from the international community.
Countries need to respect each other and treat each other as equals. Big countries should behave in a manner befitting their status and take the lead in pursuing a new model of state-to-state relations featuring dialogue and partnership, not confrontation or alliance. China opposes all forms of hegemonism and power politics, and rejects interference in other countries' internal affairs. The United States must conduct serious soul-searching. It must critically examine what it has done, let go of its arrogance and prejudice, and quit its hegemonic, domineering and bullying practices.

So many of my peers are struggling to find, even their first job. Or if they had one, some quit because they are burnt out.
Chinese society says you can only be successful if you go to a good school, get a high-paying and high-status job and buy a home. But, it seems almost impossible now.

I excerpt Pepe Escobar's dissection of Russian President Putin's State of the Union speech Tuesday here:
In his Federal Assembly address, President Putin emphasized that Russia is not only an independent nation-state but also a distinct civilization with its own identity, which is in conflict and actively opposes the values of 'western civilization.' ...Then two days later, Moscow launched the Special Military Operation (SMO) in Ukraine to defend said republics...
..Ukraine, part of Russian civilization, now happens to be occupied by western civilization, which Putin said “became hostile to us,” like in a few instances in the past. So the acute phase of what is essentially a war by proxy of the west against Russia takes place over the body of Russian civilization.
That explains Putin’s clarification that “Russia is an open country, but an independent civilization – we do not consider ourselves superior but we inherited our civilization from our ancestors and we must pass it on.” ...
That explains Putin’s clarification that “Russia is an open country, but an independent civilization – we do not consider ourselves superior but we inherited our civilization from our ancestors and we must pass it on.” ...
..“Ukraine is being used as a tool and testing ground by the west against Russia.” Thus the inevitable follow-up: “The more long-range weapons are sent to Ukraine, the longer we have to push the threat away from our borders.”
Translation: this war will be long – and painful. There will be no swift victory with minimal loss of blood...
..Putin made it clear, once again, that the element of trust between Russia and the west, especially the US, is gone. So it’s a natural decision for Russia to “withdraw from the treaty on strategic offensive weapons, but we don’t do it officially. For now we are only halting our participation to the START treaty. No US inspections in our nuclear sites can be allowed.”...
..Bypassing the US dollar is the essential play towards multipolarity. During his speech, Putin made a point to extol the resilience of the Russian economy: “Russian GDP in 2022 decreased only by 2.1 percent, estimates of the opposing side did not become reality, they said 15, 20 percent.” That resilience gives Russia enough room to “work with partners to make the system of international settlements independent of the US dollar and other western currencies. The dollar will lose its universal role.” ...
..Putin went all out in praise of economic corridors, from West Asia to South Asia: “New corridors, transport routes will be built towards the East, this is the region where we will focus our development, new highways to Kazakhstan and China, new North-South corridor to Pakistan, Iran.”
And those will connect to Russia developing “the ports of the Black and Azov Seas, it’s necessary to build logistics corridors within the country.” The result will be a progressive interconnection with the International North South Transportation Corridor (INSTC) whose principals include Iran and India, and eventually China’s mega-trillion-dollar Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)...

.Putin remarked on how “our relations with the west have degraded, and this is entirely the fault of the United States;” how NATO’s goal is to inflict a “strategic defeat” on Russia; and how the warmongering frenzy had forced him, a week ago, to sign a decree “putting new ground-based strategic complexes on combat duty.”
So it’s no accident that the US ambassador was immediately summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs right after Putin’s address.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told Ambassador Lynne Tracey in no uncertain terms that Washington must take concrete measures: among them, to remove all US and NATO military forces and equipment away from Ukraine. In a stunning move, he demanded a detailed explanation of the destruction of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, as well as a halt to US interference in an independent inquiry to identify the responsible parties.
Keeping the momentum in Moscow, top Chinese diplomat Wang Yi met with secretary of Russian Security Council Nikolai Patrushev, before talking to Lavrov and Putin. Patrushev remarked, “the course towards developing a strategic partnership with China is an absolute priority for Russia’s foreign policy.” Wang Yi, not so cryptically, added, “Moscow and Beijing need to synchronize their watches.”...

..Sensing the waters, the Chinese themselves decided to take the offensive, presenting a Global Security Initiative Concept Paper... (below)
..The Chinese affirm the necessity to “comply with the joint statement on preventing nuclear war and avoiding arms races issued by leaders of the five nuclear-weapon states in January 2022.” And to “strengthen dialogue and cooperation among nuclear-weapon states to reduce the risk of nuclear war.” ...

..Putin’s measured but firm address has made it clear that the stakes keep getting higher. And it all revolves on how deep Russia’s – and China’s – “strategic ambiguity” are able to petrify a paranoid west flirting with mushroom clouds.
