(2) The decision to approve requests for these types of permissible assistance described in Paragraph 3.2. to law enforcement agencies and other civil authorities are reserved to the Secretary of Defense:
(c) Assistance in responding with assets with potential for lethality, or any situation in which it is reasonably foreseeable that providing the requested assistance may involve the use of force that is likely to result in lethal force, including death or serious bodily injury. It also includes all support to civilian law enforcement officials in situations where a confrontation between civilian law enforcement and civilian individuals or groups is reasonably anticipated. Such use of force must be in accordance with DoDD 5210.56, potentially as further restricted based on the specifics of the requested support. https://jessica5b3.substack.com/p/use-of-lethal-force-in-a-reasonably
Ugo Bardi, The Age Of Exterminations (II) -- How to Exterminate the Young
So, here is a story of a triumph of propaganda: how it convinced most Italians in 1914-15 that it was a good idea to go to war against their neighbors, the Austrians in one of the greatest follies of history, what our ancestors called, rightly, "The Great War."
It all started when, in July 1914, a Serbian madman shot an Austrian Archduke. That caused the Great Powers of the time to attack each other in a sort of large-scale domino game. Austria attacked Serbia, Germany attacked France, Russia attacked Austria, and more.
And Italy? It is a story poorly known outside Italy, but interesting for many reasons. Italy at that time was a nation of peasants, its economy was weak, and its military power limited. Sometimes, it was called the "proletarian nation," in contrast with the Northern "plutocracies," Britain and others. Italy was poor, but secure inside its borders: protected by the sea and by the Alps. No need to go to war against anyone. https://www.senecaeffect.com/2021/09/the-age-of-exterminations-ii-how-to.html
And who will be buying up all of these properties? That would be those who’ve been lurking in the shadows for years trying to buy-up homes and farms that sit on top of the vast lithium and quartz crystal deposits of this region...
Meanwhile, $73 billion in unliquidated funds remain open, and there are 8.3 billion in unliquidated obligations. The money could be returned to help people battling for survival and disasters now. The IG report agrees that seven billion-plus dollars in unliquidated funds could potentially be returned to the Disaster Relief Fund. https://www.independentsentinel.com/600-missing-femas-a-slush-fund-mayorkas-has-8-billion/
After the man landed his craft, authorities immediately cuffed him using the excuse that he was getting in the way of their own rescue efforts – except there were no rescue efforts actually taking place. "He landed and got arrested and [they] said he was interfering with a government operation, but there's no operations going on," explains the man in the video. https://www.naturalnews.com/2024-10-08-kamala-admin-arrests-good-samaritan-hurricane-helene.html
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has just spelled this out in an especially timed essay published on October 2.
Those lessons are being repeated now because they apply with equal force to the end-of-war negotiations with the US in the process nicknamed Istanbul-II.
For Russian decision-makers in Moscow, and for the Russian people across the country, there can be no long-term security for the country without the military defeat of the enemy on the Ukrainian battlefield, capitulation of the Kiev regime, and withdrawal from Ukrainian territory of its US and NATO allies. https://johnhelmer.net/what-is-russia-deciding-for-terms-to-end-the-war-in-the-ukraine-gorilla-radio-explains/
Military victory over Kiev may be followed by demands for compensation, Rodion Miroshnik has said https://swentr.site/russia/605453-ukraine-conflict-reparations-database/
The Israeli military continues to escalate in northern Gaza, where it appears to be carrying out an ethnic cleansing plan https://news.antiwar.com/2024/10/08/israeli-forces-kill-56-more-palestinians-in-the-gaza-strip/#gsc.tab=0
The Israeli president said Lebanon would face similar destruction if its people didn't 'free' the country from Hezbollah https://news.antiwar.com/2024/10/08/israeli-strikes-kill-36-in-lebanon-as-netanyahu-threatens-to-turn-the-country-into-gaza/#gsc.tab=0
"So the answer to your question is yes, we do support Israel launching these incursions to degrade Hizballah’s infrastructure so ultimately we can get a diplomatic resolution that allows 1701 to finally be fully implemented".
Needless to say, the assertion that Israel is attacking “Hizbollah’s infrastructure” when it destroys hospitals and apartments is an insult to intelligence.
While the US and Israel are on the same page regarding the destruction of Lebanon, they appear to be at odds over what exactly Israel will do in its planned counterattack on Iran. https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2024/10/netanyahu-goes-even-more-rogue-announces-intent-to-turn-lebanon-into-gaza-refuses-to-inform-us-of-iran-strike-plans.html
It marks the first call since Iran's attack, and also the first between the leaders in two months, and comes as Washington has signaled it is deeply worried that a bigger regional war could break out if Israel's retaliation goes too far. The call is scheduled for 10:30ET. NBC is reporting that Vice President Kamala Harris will join the call.
The call comes amid some internal Israeli drama, given the open spat between Netanyahu and his Defense Minister. Netanyahu has forced Gallant to cancel a planned trip to Washington. It was set for Wednesday, and he was to meet with counterparts in the Pentagon about "ongoing Middle East security developments," a Pentagon statement had indicated. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/biden-holds-phone-call-netanyahu-iran-strike-plans-after-gallant-trip-blocked
His statement came in response to a question by MP Zarah Sultana, who pressed Starmer on whether London would “finally do what’s legally and morally right and end the government’s complicity in Israeli war crimes by banning all arms sales to Israel, including F-35 fighter jets, not just 30 licenses.”
“No,” Starmer replied bluntly. “But it is a really serious point. Banning all sales would mean none for defensive purposes. None for defensive purposes on the anniversary of 7 October and days after a huge attack by Iran into Israel would be a wrong position for this government and I will not take it,” Starmer said. https://thecradle.co/articles/british-pm-declares-london-will-never-stop-selling-weapons-to-israel
Firstly, an Armenian station recorded a seismic event measuring 4.4 on the Richter scale in Iran on Saturday 5th October and according to Armenian researchers, its characteristics suggest it was more like an explosion than an earthquake.
Secondly, a source in the Islamic republic said in a private conversation with an official close to Khamenei that:
“Allah has already given us everything, everything is far away from the eyes of the Zionists, and we are ready to release this genie in response to any hint of a real threat to the existence of our state” https://www.globalresearch.ca/iran-tested-nuclear-bomb/5869745
Today, the backbone of American naval power is nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSN), other than nuclear aircraft carriers and ballistic missile submarines (SSBN).
However, today, nearly 40% of submarines are under repair and the delays in repair are enormous. If aircraft carriers operate in waters close to the continent – for example, in the South or East China Sea – they are likely to be hit by hypersonic and ballistic missiles. In short, the US is unprepared for a major power conflict which is developing.
If a conflict with China were to break out tomorrow, the American Navy would have very little chance of winning because it is not ready. The logistical difficulties of building and sustaining American naval power in the short and medium terms are incredible. If the problem of replenishing existing weapons and ammunition stocks is added to this, the seriousness of the situation becomes apparent.
The parameters of the USSR-USA balance in the Cold War and today’s US-China balance are extremely different. The USSR could not defeat the US because the American Navy’s enormous size of 600 ships confined the Soviets to the continent and weakened them. China, on the other hand, is far more advanced at sea than the US naval power today. China has the advantage in terms of both its geographical location, naval power and number of anti-ship missiles. The conditions are more in its favor than ever to bring this to a dynamic conclusion. The US is weakening its power in the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf because of Israel. China, on the other hand, will use every opportunity to protect and develop its own geopolitical interests, especially in Taiwan and the South China Sea, as long as the Israel-Iran crisis continues. https://www.globalresearch.ca/iran-israel-tension-weakness-american-navy/5869826
A fast coronal mass ejection (CME) erupted from the Sun the evening of 8 October, 2024, and is likely to arrive at Earth on 10 October. This CME has been analyzed and speed estimates are 1200 to 1300 km/s. This makes for a potential arrival time as early as the morning to midday of 10 October EDT. There is potential to reach G4 (Severe) upon arrival of this CME and throughout its passage. https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/g4-severe-storm-watch-10-11-october#:~:text=A%20fast%20coronal%20mass%20ejection,midday%20of%2010%20October%20EDT.
