Interlocutors,
Former Russian Defense Minister Shoigu has hand-delivered Putin’s personal letter offering to mediate conflict with Israel to Iran’s leaders
Simplicius has a good assessment, basically that Ukraine has been saving fresh forces for this very serious and well managed assault, to gain "Old Russian" territory ahead of peace negotiations. I picked out something about the Mideast, though... Day Three of Kursk Attack, Major Updates
Now suddenly, we get this uncorroborated report:
"In the past few hours, Russian and Iranian military cargo and transport planes were spotted heading to Syria, loaded with advanced weapons. An important development that could reshape the military landscape in the region." - Syrian media reports
It looks like they managed to really upset Putin with the attack on Kursk, Russian advanced weapons are going into the hands of Hezbollah
The reason all this dovetails in intriguing fashion is that Putin may have finally chosen to ‘escalate’ asymmetrically against the U.S. in light of the attacks on Kursk. Recall his words: "We can also say 'we have supplied someone with something, and we do not control anything further'."
Amid other ongoing reports that Russia is supplying a large amount of air defense equipment to Iran, there could be potential for a Russian-driven escalation in this region as ‘payback’ for the crossing of a red line in the Kursk attack.
On the topic of that ‘red line’: not only is Western equipment being used in Russia proper, but there are now reports that the invading force is overflowing with Western mercenaries—with Polish and French languages being heard on radio comms, as well as Georgian mercenary sightings. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/sitrep-8824-day-three-of-kursk-attack

If Israel launches war, its centers, power stations, infrastructure and military bases will be subjected to daily attacks by thousands of missiles and drones, says Yitzhak Barik
Iran and Hezbollah have vowed a "strong and effective" response to the assassinations while attempts are being made to calm the situation through regional contacts and moves.
Brik said that in recent days, some people have failed to understand the concerning condition of the Israeli army, suggesting that Iran and Hezbollah should be attacked preemptively before they strike Israel.
He expressed concern that those advocating for a preemptive strike fail to consider that such an action would immediately trigger a regional war.
Brik said that if Israel launches a preemptive war, its population centers, power stations, gas platforms, transportation infrastructure, industrial infrastructure and army bases will be subjected to daily attacks by thousands of missiles and drones.

U.S. and Israeli officials believe Hezbollah's retaliation for the killing of a top official will focus on military sites, but they cannot say with certainty how careful it will be to avoid harm to civilians https://archive.ph/1FJGf#selection-535.0-539.207
With the Middle East on the brink of a possible major war between Iran and Israel, also involving Lebanese Hezbollah, the White House and its regional partners are desperately trying to salvage ceasefire talks...
..Washington policy itself is schizophrenic: President Biden has criticized Israel at times, lamenting the mass civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip, while at the same time he continues to arm Israel's military to the teeth.
Consider too the rosy picture of negotiations painted by Secretary of State Antony Blinken last month at the Aspen Security Forum: "I believe we’re inside the 10-yard line and driving toward the goal line in getting an agreement that would produce a cease-fire, get the hostages home and put us on a better track to trying to build lasting peace and stability,” Blinken said July 19. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/white-house-speaks-finalizing-gaza-deal-while-diplomats-admit-its-hail-mary-end-game

New Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian is said to be fighting hardliners especially within the military establishment, specifically leaders of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), over the extent of a response. Pezeshkian reportedly wants a toned down and limited response, akin to the April 13th missile and drone attack on Israel - which was something highly telegraphed and thus averted all-out war. The IRGC is ready to launch a much bigger operation, the report says. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/irans-new-president-battling-irgc-hardliners-over-tempering-response-israel-telegraph

Placed on a terror watch list, the former Hawaii congresswoman and her husband were tailed by Air Marshals and bomb dogs. "Unconstitutional on every level," she says. "And I'm not the only one."
Tuesday night, while self-styled Democratic nominee Kamala Harris pledged to defend “freedom, compassion, and the rule of law” to cheers in Philadelphia, Hawaii’s Tulsi Gabbard described being tracked by teams of government agents in a surveillance regime more reminiscent of East Germany than a free country. Whistleblowing Air Marshals told Uncover DC Gabbard was singled out as a terror threat under the so-called “Quiet Skies” program, and the former presidential candidate says she noticed. “The whistleblowers’ account matches my experience,” says Gabbard. “Everything lines up to the day.”
This story began two weeks ago, when the former Hawaii congresswoman returned home after a short trip abroad. In airport after airport, she and her husband Abraham Williams encountered obstacles. First on a flight from Rome to Dallas, then a connecting flight to Austin, and later on different flights for both to cities like Nashville, Orlando, and Atlanta, their boarding passes were marked with the “SSSS” designation, which stands for “Secondary Security Screening Selection.” The “Quad-S” marker is often a sign the traveler has been put on a threat list, and Gabbard and Williams were forced into extensive “random” searches lasting as long as 45 minutes...

..After this episode, she intends to fight back. “I’m going to be encouraging former colleagues of mine in Congress who I know are concerned about this to exercise their oversight authorities,” she says. “These actions are those of a tyrannical dictator.

In London: Head of the Met Police Sir Mark Rowley has warned that “keyboard warriors” could be hit with terrorism charges for inciting riots online, even if they are living abroad.
Rowley made the comments in response to waves of rioting that unfolded across the UK following the murder of three young girls at a Taylor Swift dance class in Southport by a 17-year-old of Rwandan migrant origin via his parents.
Asserting that the “full force of the law” would be used against offenders, Rowley made it clear that this included not just people physically involved in the riots, but those who make inflammatory comments about them on social media...

A Sky News reporter than mentioned Elon Musk as a ‘high profile figure’ who was “whipping up hatred,” when in fact Musk merely asked Prime Minister Keir Starmer, “Why aren’t all communities protected in Britain?”.
“What are you considering when it comes to dealing with people who are whipping up from behind a keyboard and maybe is in a different country,” the reporter asked Rowley.
“Being a keyboard warrior does not make you safe from the law, you can be guilty of offences of incitement, of stirring up racial hatred, there are numerous terrorist offences regarding the publishing of material, all of those offences are in play if people are provoking hatred and violence on the streets and we will come after those individuals just as we will physically confront on the streets the thugs and the yobs who are causing the problems for communities,” said Rowley. https://modernity.news/2024/08/08/met-police-chief-threatens-keyboard-warriors-with-terrorism-charges/

The state’s original 1993 Human Rights Act included sexual orientation as a protected class, with a caveat that stated, “‘Sexual orientation’ does not include a physical or sexual attachment to children by an adult.”
However, Gov. Walz signed an amendment that removed this clause, adding adults who have a physical or sexual attachment to children to the protected class of sexual minorities in the state.
During a Senate debate at the time, Sen. Nathan Wesenberg (R-Little Falls), urged lawmakers across the aisle to vote against the controversial bill “lest the people of our state come to believe that the majority of this body supports protecting pedophilia.”
However, Wesenberg’s plea fell on deaf ears, and the Senate passed the bill, and Walz ultimately signed the “Take Pride Act” into law. https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/tim-walz-signed-bill-to-include-pedophiles-in-lgbtq-protected-class-in-minnesota/

Meryl Nass MD, WHO Triggers Emergency Use Listing for Monkeypox Vaccines
The Jynneos smallpox/moneypox vaccine has been supported almost entirely by BARDA, to the tune of approximately 2 billion dollars over 20 years. Now more of the stockpile can be used, then replenished. https://merylnass.substack.com/p/who-triggers-emergency-use-listing A personal message from Dr. Nass, which also reflects how this path has been going for me: Don't give up!
Then I realized that, while there was SO much material that seemed critically important, I was being led (randomly it seemed) to what I needed to see. When I tried to be methodical about what I read, there were many fewer important nuggets appearing. When I silently asked the universe to lead me to whatever I needed to see, to do and to write about, things came to me.
There were certain important business-type things I needed to do, but I always find them unpleasant. Dispute a credit card charge. Wait on hold for hours to solve a computer problem. Etc.
I ask for guidance daily, and I report back to whatever is helping me that I am extremely grateful to be able to serve in this way. It has become a “gut” thing—I can tune into what my body tells me. https://merylnass.substack.com/p/dont-give-up
