Talking About Nuclear War

 Citizens,


  Let's Talk about Nuclear War ,  Ruben Bauer Naveira
​  ​The United States and Russia – the two greatest nuclear powers on the planet – have embarked on a wide-ranging “indirect war”. All that now remains is for them to engage in direct warfare, which will end up happening sooner or later. If later, it will be exactly because both powers are aware that any direct war between them will inevitably escalate into nuclear war, with a good chance of devastating them both.
​  ​How we reached this point will not be examined in depth here. Very briefly, both parties regard this as a struggle for existence – Russia, in order to continue to exist as a nation (in Putin’s words, “there is no compromise, a country is either sovereign or a colony”), and the United States, to continue to exist as the nation with hegemony over the rest (the US economy has become so reliant on that hegemony that its end would entail the country’s collapse).
​  ​Accordingly, both are willing to take the conflict to its ultimate consequences in order to prevail, and thus nuclear war becomes more inevitable with every passing day.
​  ​Among those responsible for a nuclear war that will be the downfall of all Humankind, there can be no “good guy”. However, when one side is fighting to subsist with autonomy, while the other is fighting in order to dominate the rest, it is not difficult to discern which is most the “bad guy”.

​  I have been thinking a lot about nuclear war recently, as you may have been, also. It has been sitting there on the shelf my whole life, but we have not been in the habit of worrying about it for the past 30 years or so. We were in the habit of worrying about it before that time.
​  The spectre of nuclear war was part of the control-narrative that directed our national policy in the cold war years in the US. My family and other families, all had plans of where to go for the air-raid warnings and where to meet after the bombs. "Duck and Cover" in the classroom. "Get under your desk if you can."
"This is a test of the Emergency Broadcasting System. This is only a test."
  Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Carter, Reagan and even G.H.W. Bush had been in war. Many civilian functionaries in government had been in war. Now it is rare at all levels outside the military. This is now merely conceptual in the minds of almost all decision makers in the US, and the west in general. This is game-theory, not reality. 
  It's fair to assume that most modern decision makers are self centered, not so compassionate or principled. Self-centered types mostly care about what they feel and what they want, and that is the "reality" they engage in their lives. An abstract game, where the player has little perceived risk, due to fallout shelters being present in Washington DC, and those "DUMBs" (deep underground military bases) will predispose the player to prioritize "winning" over risk-reduction strategies. 
I think we all see that nuclear war is treated much more casually in Washington than it was when I was a boy growing up on military bases.

  I don't think that decision makers are "crazy". I think they are "rational-actors", as that theory is named, but I see perverse incentives laid out for them by the current bureaucratic system, which lead to life-forms like me being placed at very high risk, as they play-to-win which is the feeling they like. 
  I pray for guidance often. I do not fear my own death, but I do not want to suffer, do not want all my family to suffer. I can do some limited things. I should repair that cracked water-tank I was given, and paint it and set it up. I should have some propane and a propane-stove for back-up if utilities go down. I should get more rice, beans, salt, oil, and canned goods in the pantries. These are all temporizing measures in a collapse, not the makings of a new life. 
  When I was a kid we all knew that we would all work together when the time came, all work as teams to survive. I don't know that now. 
Do you know anything like that now?

  Gilbert Doctorow, fluent in Russian, is back in Europe after recent travels. Thanks Christine.
​  ​The coming existential threat: do we act in common or is it going to be every man for himself?​
  ​After a month of only very limited reception of Russian news, due to satellite issues and hotel service issues, last night I switched on Russian state television’s news and talk show “Sixty Minutes” on www.smotrim.ru and got a full blast of the current state of relations with the US, which are very close to Doomsday.
​  ​Allow me to share with you the key point, namely the soon to be announced changes to the Russian doctrine on first use of nuclear weapons and their new more precise red lines that have come about from the plans for Russia’s partition and destruction that seem to be aired daily on US television.
​  ​As usual, Yevgeny Popov, State Duma member and host of “Sixty Minutes,” put a lot of video segments from Western television up on the screen, including a lengthy statement by Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, former commander of all U.S. forces in Europe from 2014 to 2017, on how the Ukrainians must be given long range precision missiles for them to attack Russian Crimea and also further into the Russian heartland. The interview from which this declaration was made does not yet appear in Google search, but from interviews posted in 2022 it is clear that Hodges is no madman, and his statements must, as Popov said, be taken with utmost seriousness.
​  ​The context, of course, for the radical escalation now being discussed in the United States is the expectation of a massive Russian offensive to begin shortly as the anniversary of the Special Military Operation approaches. The imminent defeat of Ukrainian forces has focused minds in Washington.
  ​One of the regular panelists on “Sixty Minutes” then faced the cameras directly and said that Russia’s nuclear doctrine is under revision in light of these aggressive plans being aired in the United States, so that Russia is headed towards a policy of ‘preventive’ tactical nuclear strikes, similar to what the United States has.  Moreover, if Ukraine targets Crimea and heartland Russia, then Russia will respond according to plans now being laid down. These plans foresee counter strikes against U.S military installations in Europe and in the Continental United States using hypersonic missiles.  The panelist calls for this threat of counter strikes in Europe and the US to be made public and explicit, so that no one is in doubt about what to expect from the Kremlin.
​  ​So here we are. The Russians are stripping away the fiction of a proxy war and revealing the co-belligerent status of the US and its NATO allies in preparation for a kinetic war with NATO. As our illustrious former President, a man of few words, would say:  “Not good!”


​  Roger Waters addressed the UN Security Council (2/8/23, 14 min.) He did his best to call for an immediate ceasefire for billions of people without a voice.
​  Russia invited Roger Waters to speak at the UNSC even though the Russians perfectly knew and understood that Roger Waters does not share the same view of this war as Russia does.

  From RT: US President Joe Biden’s administration on Wednesday blasted Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh for claiming that Washington was behind last year’s sabotage of Russia’s Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, saying reporting by the veteran investigative journalist was “utterly false and complete fiction.”  https://www.rt.com/news/571193-white-house-denies-nord-stream-sabotage/

  Volodymyr Zelensky popped up in London yesterday, lobbying for fighter jets, got a "maybe" on that, and an agreement to train some pilots. Zelensky posed with a gushing PM Rishi Sunak in front of a large, manly "Challenger" main battle tank. Charles III received him at Buckingham Palace that afternoon.

  After a surprise UK visit, Ukraine's President Zelensky went to Paris immediately afterward in a whirlwind European tour to meet with Western leaders. In Paris he held talks with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz
  Macron asserted during the visit that Russia cannot win the war against Ukraine. "Ukraine can count on France, its European partners and allies to win the war. Russia cannot and must not win," Macron said before a working dinner among the three leaders at the Elysee Palace.   
(Hell I'm convinced now...)

"Biggest Disaster In The Last Century": Turkey-Syria Earthquake Death Toll Surpasses 20,000
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/turkey-syria-quake-death-toll-tops-17000

​  ​1,200 emergency personnel were being dispatched to Turkey in a coordinated effort by the European Union and partner countries.
​  ​Reporting by Aljazeera, Reuters and the Associated Press shows that efforts to send rescue teams, medical staff and other emergency personnel by non-EU countries even surpassed this effort, adding up to approximately 1,400 persons as of early Wednesday morning.
  However, as Statista's Katharina Buchholz notes, while news wire reports indicate that more than 40 countries and territories have sent or were preparing to send teams to Turkey, the same was just known of three countries and territories concerning Syria: Russia, Algeria and Palestine.
​  ​While the majority of the destruction and the victims of the earthquakes are located in Turkey, the humanitarian situation in Syria was already strained before the disaster, diminishing the country's ability to deal with the aftermath of the earthquake effectively.

​  ​Fierce Backlash As Project Veritas Sidelines James O’Keefe After Pfizer Bombshells​   The Pfizer Empire Strikes Back​ (tactical strike, hope he's guarded​)
​  ​The board of directors of Project Veritas on Wednesday placed its founder and chairman, James O’Keefe, on paid leave as it reportedly moves to oust him from his leadership position.​..​
​..​Widespread reports of a hostile takeover point to a more insidious long game at play, with the move coming after two bombshell undercover video reports from Project Veritas that showed a Pfizer research scientist discussing the company’s gain-of-function work to maximize vaccine profits.​
  Project Veritas’s board is slated to meet Friday, when O’Keefe’s potential ouster will be discussed, one source told the Intelligencer.
​  ​The backlash from all fronts was fierce and furious when news broke about the brewing coup.
​  ​“Absolute madness if he is being forced out just weeks after Project Veritas celebrates one of their greatest-ever journalistic investigations with which O’Keefe was intimately involved,” wrote Human Events editor Ben Kew.
​  ​“There is no Project Veritas without James O’Keefe,” Candace Owens tweeted. “I say this as a donor to the organization, but more importantly as a colleague who watched him pour everything he had into PV over the years. The money and supporters will follow James.”

 ​Video: Bill Gates Says It’s OK For Him To Use Private Jets Because He’s “The Solution” To Climate Change​   (Honestly, I did not watch the video.)
​  ​Gates claimed that because he continues to “spend billions of dollars” on climate change activism, his carbon footprint isn’t an issue.
​  ​“Should I stay at home and not come to Kenya and learn about farming and malaria?” Gates said in the interview with Amol Rajan.
​  ​“I’m comfortable with the idea that not only am I not part of the problem by paying for the offsets, but also through the billions that my Breakthrough Energy Group is spending, that I’m part of the solution,” Gates added.​  (And his very money is clean, immaculate, because it comes from... INVESTMENTS.)​

Tide Going Out

​Beachgoers,​

​  Thanks Christine. Russia builds more military strength and capability every day that it​ continues the "Special Military Operation" at the current restrained pace, not using Russian regular-army forces in infantry-attacks. Ammunition is not running out. New and updated military equipment is put into use, to good effect.   Ukraine has reportedly lost 257,000 men, as reported to Def.Sec. Lloyd Austin recently. They are drafting 16 year olds. They are grinding up NATO equipment that NATO cannot replace this year. Russia is prepared to respond to any form of western escalation in kind. Russia says uranium munitions are "dirty bomb" equivalents, a form of nuclear first-strike, if used against Russia.
​  ​Marching Into the New Year with World Wars III, IV, and V (Part 1)​ ​BY JIM KAVANAGH​
  ​As the head of the Russian arms-control delegation in Vienna, Konstantin Gavrilov, says: “If Washington and NATO countries provide Kyiv with weapons for striking against the cities deep inside the Russian territory and for attempting to seize our constitutionally affirmed territories, it would force Moscow to undertake harsh retaliatory actions…Do not say that we did not warn you.”
​  ​Note well that Putin has now suggested changing Russia’s military doctrine on nuclear-weapons use to mirror the more permissive policy of the United States:
​  ​Vladimir Putin said Russia may consider formally adding the possibility of a preventive nuclear first strike to disarm an opponent to its military doctrine…[P]erhaps we should think about using the approaches of our American partners,” he said, citing what he called US strategies to use high-accuracy missiles for a preventive strike.
​  ​Also note that Russia works with a broad definition of “nuclear weapons.” Regarding depleted-uranium munitions that are regularly used by Leopards, Abrams, and Bradleys, Gavrilov stated: “If Kyiv were to be supplied with such munitions for the use in Western heavy military hardware, we would regard it as the use of ‘dirty nuclear bombs’ against Russia, with all the consequences that entails.” So, even under Russia’s more restrictive doctrine, tanks firing depleted-uranium munitions would be considered a first use of nuclear weapons.
​  ​I’m afraid there will be more weapons delivered and more red lines drawn and crossed. Russia will show it is not afraid, but confident of its ability, to respond to any escalation, and the US/NATO will be faced with accepting defeat or using nuclear weapons.​  
[and then facing same-day defeat]

​  Seymour Hersh, Thanks VV.

How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline
The New York Times called it a “mystery,” but the United States executed a covert sea operation that was kept secret—until now

​  The US needs to drop a whole lot of baggage in order to change course in almost every endeavor. (If only some politicians could be blamed and replaced.)
​  ​US lacks unity before modern challenges, Henry Kissinger believes​    [Henry, do you mean Ron DeSantis? Help us out, here.]
​  ​February 7. /TASS/. The US lacks unity inside the country amid modern challenges, Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said during the event, dedicated to the 112th anniversary of the birth of former US President Ronald Reagan.
​  ​"Today we again suffer from domestic division and international disorder about arguments about who we are and what we stand for. We find it difficult to muster the domestic cohesion necessary to face the challenges ahead of us," Kissinger said.​..
.."Each of these present developments requires a combination of strength and conciliation," Kissinger said, adding that Reagan "understood better than anyone how to integrate the elements of power and the elements of conciliation."

  "Joe Biden's" State of the Union address is condensed here. It proposes spending borrowed money to help people cope with the current economic structure, which is impoverishing them, as they cannot pay bills with what they make and must borrow money. It does not propose changing the system to something less parasitic. "President Biden" hints at raising taxes. He assumes that the system will keep working as-configured, which it won't. 
  I'm interested in some of his public health proposals towards the end. Where IS all that cancer coming from these days? What DO you propose to fund in the way of "cancer research"? More mRNA platform "innovations"?
​  ​More than 1 million Americans have lost their lives to COVID. We still need to monitor dozens of variants and support new vaccines and treatments. So Congress needs to fund these efforts and keep America safe.​.. [same widely-discounted lie]​ ​...​
​  ​We also need more first responders and other professionals to address growing mental health and substance abuse challenges.​ [More EMS. More Federal $]​
​  ​Let’s do more on mental health, especially for our children. When millions of young people are struggling with bullying, violence, trauma, we owe them greater access to mental health care at school.​ [More federal $ for counseling services. Counselors support narratives of their funding source.]​
​  ​No one should be homeless in this country, especially not those who served it.​  [FEMA homeless camps?]​
​  ​Let’s end cancer as we know it and cure some cancers once and for all.​ [Ignore COVID mRNA "vaccines" as cause of increase in cancers, through immuno-suppression.]​

  CDC Data confirms COVID Vaccination knocks up to 24 years off a Man’s life   Thanks Luc.
​  The long-term consequences of Covid-19 vaccination are now being realised…
  A year ago, doubly vaccinated Australians were 10.72x more likely to catch Omicron than the unvaxxed. Now they are 20x more likely and the triply or more vaxxed are 35x more likely, as the latest NSW Health stats show (see below).
  Meanwhile, the latest Cleveland Clinic Data and the latest US data analysed by Josh Stirling, founder of Insurance Collaboration to Save Livess and former #1 ranked Insurance Analyst, shows a really really disturbing trend.
  The damage to health caused by each vaccine dose does not lessen over time. It continues indefinitely.
  In fact, CDC All-Cause Mortality data show that each vaccine dose increased mortality by 7% in the year 2022 compared to the mortality in year 2021.
  So if you have had 5 doses then you were 35% more likely to die in 2022 than you were in 2021. If you have had one dose then you were 7% more likely to die in 2022 than you were in 2021. If you are unvaxxed then you were no more likely to die in 2022 than you were in 2021.

​  Meryl Nass MD sent this:  Amendments to WHO’s International Health Regulations: An Annotated Guide , David Bell
​..​Many nations have developed checks and balances over centuries, based on an understanding of fundamental values, designed specifically to avoid the sort of situation we now see arising, where one group is law unto itself can arbitrarily remove and control the freedom of others. Free media developed as a further safeguard, based around principles of freedom of expression and an equal right to be heard. These values are necessary for democracy and equality to exist, just as it is necessary to remove them in order to introduce totalitarianism and a structure based on inequality. The proposed amendments to the IHR set out explicitly to do this.
​  ​The proposed new powers sought by the WHO, and the pandemic preparedness industry being built around it, are not hidden. The only subterfuge is the farcical approach of media and politicians in many nations who seem to pretend they are not proposed, or do not, if implemented, fundamentally change the nature of the relationship between people and centralized non-State powers. The people who will become subject to these powers, and the politicians who are on track to cede them, should start paying attention. We must all decide whether we wish to cede so easily what it has taken centuries to gain, to assuage the greed of others.

​  Charles Hugh Smith, Prepare to Be Bled Dry by a Decade of Stagflation​
​  ​The Great Moderation of low inflation and soaring assets has ended. Welcome to the death by a thousand cuts of stagflation. It was all so easy in the good old days of the past 25 years: just keep pushing interest rates lower to reduce the cost of borrowing and juice credit expansion ((financialization) and offshore industrial production to low-cost nations with few environmental standards and beggar-thy-neighbor currency policies (globalization).
​  ​Both financialization and globalization are deflationary forces, as they reduce costs. They are also deflationary to the wages of bottom 90%, as wages are pushed down by cheap global labor and stripmined by financialization, which channels the vast majority of the economy's gains into the top tier of the workforce and those who own the assets bubbling up in financialization's inevitable offspring, credit-asset bubbles.​..
​..​It turns out that the inevitable offspring of hyper-financialization and hyper-globalization are inflation, credit crises and the undermining of national security as the self-serving goal of pushing corporate profits higher via globalization led to fatal dependencies on competing powers for the essentials of modern life.
​  ​Correcting these decades-long extremes will take at least a decade as long-suppressed inflation becomes endemic, supply-chain disruptions become the norm and capital has to be invested in long-term national projects such as reshoring and the engineering of a new more efficient energy mix--projects that will only be expenses for many years.​    
[It has been 32 years since the dissolution of the USSR. ​8​ years of being bled down by parasites, 1​5​ years of recovery under Putin and ​9​ years of strategically directed economic growth and development to prevail in WW-3.]

  Ugo Bardi: The Failure of Scientific Journals: the Failure of Science   (Big money bought the rights to "SCIENCE" decades ago.)
​  ​Some characteristics of science are not bugs, they are features. One of these characteristics is how scientific information is disseminated. Scientific, "peer-reviewed" journals are rapidly becoming a major stumbling block to scientific progress.

  El Gato Malo, Thanks Luc   a simple proposal to restore confidence in public data   if you want trust, let us verify
  “At the summit, Nobel Prize laureates and other experts will be joined by information technology and business leaders, policymakers, journalists, educators, and youth from around the world for a global discussion to explore solutions to actively combat the spread of misinformation and disinformation, share evidence-based knowledge and global experiences, and help restore confidence in science and systems of society.”
  oddly, nowhere on the agenda of this august assemblage of academic info-assassins will the topic of “hey, what if we just stopped lying all the fricking time?” be raised.
  “what if we were more open and honest and allowed and encouraged competing parallel assessments to challenge or verify our own?” also seems a question likely to go begging
  and therein lies both the problem and the solution.
  these bureaucracies and technocracies cannot be trusted and that problem is structural.
  left alone and unsupervised, they will always and everywhere become their own core constituencies
. it’s an inevitable emergent property of such systems.

Latypova Iceberg

 Tolerating Puns,


  A lot of today's content is provided by Sasha Latypova, with a high level Pharmaceutical manufacturing background, and more from links she has provided.
The "unsinkable" control-narrative of global elites has hit an iceberg of cold facts. The band on deck continues to play waltzes, but not everybody is dancing.

​ ​How the US gov’t built a shadow structure that enabled COVID vax ‘bioterrorism’​ , Sasha Latypova​
​ ​‘Congress and U.S. Presidents legalized and funded the overthrow of the U.S. Constitution… through a massive domestic bioterrorism program relabeled as a public health program… on behalf of the World Health Organization and its financial backers,' writes legal researcher Katherine Watt.
​  ​Editor’s Note: This article is the fourth of a series on the role of the U.S. government in orchestrating a bioterrorism attack upon their own citizens utilizing “biowarfare agents” marketed as “COVID-19 vaccines.” The prior three articles can be accessed here, here, and here. ​ 
​  With exceptional detail and comprehensiveness, a paralegal researcher and journalist from Pennsylvania has documented the extensive “pseudo-legal” structures put in place over decades which allowed the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to execute its “COVID-19 vaccine” bioterrorism attack upon its own citizens, killing and maiming many thousands with complete impunity.

The Federal Reserve Cartel – Eight Families own the USA #BIS, IMF, World Bank​ , Herland Report, linked by Sasha Latypova
​  ​They are the Goldman Sachs, Rockefellers, Lehmans and Kuhn Loebs of New York; the Rothschilds of Paris and London;
the Warburgs of Hamburg; the Lazards of Paris; and the Israel Moses Seifs of Rome.
​  ​Many of the bank’s stockholders reside in Europe.
​  ​The US government had a historical distrust of BIS, lobbying unsuccessfully for its demise at the 1944 post-WWII Bretton Woods Conference.
Instead the Eight Families’ power was exacerbated, with the Bretton Woods creation of the IMF and the World Bank.

Why Are They Doing It?
"Going Direct Reset" explained by Catherine Austin Fitts​  
“Why is DOD (US Government, all Western globalist governments) acting against the people, killing and injuring the population”? The answer is largely in the creation of money. This story is not about how much money someone has right now, it is about who can make more of it at any time. The US Government and its Department of Defense specifically cannot account for around $21+ trillion as of several years ago...
 ..Importantly for the “owners” (of the money source), this is also about the restructuring of their out-of-whack balance sheet, i.e. the out-of-control liabilities. This is not only about the retirees in the Western countries that have been lulled into fat stupor by promises of socialist utopia, although obviously, they are a large group of creditors. Every person regardless of age is a “claim on assets” in the form of usage of the dollar supply (or whatever succeeds the dollar). Incidentally, that’s why the push for life expectancy curtailing “vaccinations” is so massive in the West and seems much less so in Africa (they are not worth that much per head in dollar terms).
​  ​The current war on the people is part of the restructuring that the globalist “owners” (owners of the central banks) are attempting - going direct reset and attempted CBDCs. This is also the fight over whose fake digital token is going to be the “global reserve”, and so we have the US fighting the Euro zone and Russia and China in various stages of economic/bioterrorism warfare progressing to kinetic war. While Russia and China and the Euros are also frantically restructuring their balance sheets by murdering and terrorizing their own citizenry.
​  ​In order to succeed the owners need to install a global system of totalitarian control through various technological surveillance means, reduce the population, and utterly impoverish and terrorize the survivors. I personally believe they will not succeed because they do not have the tech they claim (they lie about that a lot) and will not be able to bridge it in time before the situation totally unravels.

On the Question of Social Security as "Entitlement"​ , Sasha Latypova​
​  ​Don’t shoot me or be disappointed in me, I am only a messenger… I grew up in the country where many things were guaranteed by the government, a very large, very powerful one that still owns 1/6 of the Earth surface, and vast, vast resources that come with it. Anyhow, the government lasted 70+ years, had great technological achievements, won a major war, was in many ways quite formidable. The following things were absolutely, definitively, 100% guaranteed and absolutely free because all of us “paid into the system” by our collective earnest labor:
Free education, including higher education;
Employment;
Childcare;
Housing;
Medical care (and dental!);
Retirement!!!
Other ancillary benefits like vacation places (modest, but hey, free stuff!)
​  ​Until none of this became available. In a matter of DAYS. I am not kidding or exaggerating.
​  ​What happened to the retirees that were counting on those retirement benefits? Nothing over dramatic but they died. My grandparents and other people’s family members, they simply could not comprehend what happened to all the stuff they believed so hard in and worked for, and they gave up and were no more.
​  ​If you think this cannot happen to you, you are a fool. That’s my message. Whether it is called “entitlement” or “I deserve it because I paid into the system” -
​ ​ I don’t know. The people who have already stolen it from you do not care what it is called.

​Meryl Nass MD, ​ (So much of medicine lies in using what is discovered to work. Once a medicine is "approved" for one indication, it is almost never put through the long and expensive process to approve it to treat another condition that it has been found to treat well. There's no payout to justify the expensive studies.)
The FDA Succeeded in Interfering with the Practice of Medicine/ WSJ Op-Ed
A little-noticed provision of the omnibus spending bill gave the agency power to ban off-label use of approved therapies.


​Letters From The Underworld, Sasha Latypova​
  In late 2020 a collection of documents - approximately 900 pages from Pfizer’s “vaccine” Chemistry Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) section of the regulatory submission to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) were leaked and sent to a number of journalists. The documents also included email exchanges from some of the reviewers and senior executives at the EMA. The leak was covered in the British Medical Journal who were able to confirm that the documents were authentic. I received these documents from a colleague about a year later, at the end of 2021, and I read and used a lot of them in my analyses. I have seen many R&D related documents from Pfizer in my professional work, so I can also confirm that these leaked ones were highly consistent with typical Pfizer documentation. The EMA did not deny the authenticity...
​..​Here are the emails indicating that the Major Objections were formally written up and subsequently disregarded by the EMA since the product was shipped commercially just a couple of weeks later. The conditions of the CMA were never fulfilled.
​  ​This confirms what we already know - neither the EMA (nor the FDA, Health Canada, MHRA or other regulators) had any real authority over these products or impact on whether they were going to be deployed on unsuspecting public. It was all theater from start to finish..​.
..I counted approximately 70 different individuals mentioned throughout the leaked document and emails, who facilitated this tragic charade - the “approval” of of the most lethal product ever unleashed on the largest number of people, resulting in unprecedented death and injury toll worldwide. Perhaps, with a few exceptions, most of them were deceived in 2020 and did not understand that they were participating in a war crime and signing off on a deadly fraud. I believe most of them do know by now, I hope they are sufficiently horrified at what they have enabled, and I hope these people step forward as whistleblowers and start talking.

​  That nice young medical student who said medicine made mistakes and needs to apologize and move on...
​  ​Will the real Kevin Bass stand up? Who is the author of the Newsweek apologia?​   Meryl Nass MD​
Just a few tweets provides a lot of information. Thx again to A Midwestern Doctor for decoding his hogwash...

It seems he used to tweet about eugenics. He liked it.
​  ​How to nullify criticism of the vaccines​ , ​A World Health Organisation guide
​  ​The document, titled Vaccine Crisis Communication Manual – a step-by-step guidance for national immunization programmes, was produced in 2022 by the WHO European office with the stated aim of supporting countries ‘in effectively responding to events which may erode the public’s trust in vaccines and authorities that deliver them’. The manual offers detailed recommendations about how those in authority should respond to a ‘vaccine crisis’ (defined as any occurrence that ‘will most likely or has already eroded public trust in vaccines … and may create uncertainty’). The explicit, overarching goal is to ‘rebuild trust in vaccines’.

​  ​Escalation to World War III and the British establishment​  (More about the "owners". Thanks Eleni.)
​  ​UK's leading establishment figures are gung-ho promoting World War III. What's behind the agenda?
​  ​To be sure, we are not talking about the actions by British people or the legitimate institutions of their government. Rather, we are talking about a cabal that has operated British secret diplomacy and intelligence agencies in pursuit of the imperial agenda. Its objective is conquest and subjugation of nations for the benefit of the banking cartel based in the City of London and on Wall Street, and to the detriment of everyone else, at home and abroad.​..
​  ​The real war is people vs. the banks, and it is now
​  ​To prevent another great war from breaking out in Europe, we must clearly identify the prime movers behind the escalation of hostilities and their motives: they are the networks of the empire’s vested interests, and the ultimate beneficiaries of war and subjugation of other nations. When we trace the system of incentives that catalyzes wars all the way to their origins, they invariably lead to the international banking cartel.
​  ​The fact that Britain is the host to the financial parasite that is the City of London, and that she is incurably hostile to Russia, is not a coincidence. British establishment’s obsession with destroying Russia is today the most dangerous force facing humanity, capable ultimately of ending it. As Lord Acton said, "The issue that has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the people versus the banks."

​  ​Search underway for ways to protect troops from Ukrainian chemical weapons — DPR leader​ 
 ​Pushilin pointed out that experts had not yet had the chance to figure out what substances the Ukrainian forces were using. "They trigger coughing, followed by watery eyes and general discomfort," he said, describing the effect of the Ukrainian chemical weapons.
​  ​Yan Gagin, an advisor to the Donetsk People’s Republic’s (DPR) leader, said earlier that the Kiev regime’s forces had used chemical weapons along the Soledar and Artyomovsk frontlines on February 5. He stressed that it wasn’t the first time that Ukraine had used chemical weapons. Gagin added that the Ukrainian military made no secret that it had prohibited weapons, posting videos showing imported gas grenades and drones designed for discharging them.

​  Jim Kunstler sort of reviews Dmitry Orlov's book:
  I commend to you Dmitry Orlov’s seminal work, Reinventing Collapse: The Soviet Experience and American Prospects, Revised & Updated. For anyone out there not paying attention the past thirty-odd years, Russia, incorporated as the Soviet Union, collapsed in 1991. The USSR was a bold experiment based on the peculiar and novel ill-effects of industrialism, especially gross economic inequality. Alas, the putative remedy for that, advanced by Karl Marx, was a despotic system of pretending that individual humans had no personal aspirations of their own.
    The Soviet / Marxist business model was eventually reduced to the comic aphorism: We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us. It failed and the USSR gurgled down history’s drain. 
​   ​Russia reemerged from the dust, minus many of its Eurasian outlands. Remarkably little blood was shed in the process. Mr. Orlov’s book points to some very interesting set-ups that softened the landing. There was no private property in the USSR, so when it collapsed, nobody was evicted or foreclosed from where they lived. Very few people had cars in the USSR, so the city centers were still intact and people could get around on buses, trams, and trains. The food system had been botched for decades by low-incentive collectivism, but the Russian people were used to planting family gardens — even city dwellers, who had plots out-of-town — and it tided them over during the years of hardship before the country managed to reorganize.
      Compare that to America’s prospects. In an economic crisis, Americans will have their homes foreclosed out from under them, or will be subject to eviction from rentals. The USA has been tragically built-out on a suburban sprawl template that will be useless without cars and with little public transport. Cars, of course, are subject to repossession for non-payment of contracted loans. The American food system is based on manufactured microwavable cheese snacks, chicken nuggets, and frozen pizzas produced by giant companies. These items can’t be grown in home gardens. Many Americans don’t know the first thing about growing their own food, or what to do with it after it’s harvested.


​  Cynthia Chung explores the history of Fascism as the preferred governance form of Central Banking, through the world wars and the intervening financial crises in Europe​, which facilitated the rise of hypnotic fascist leaders in times of national fear and crisis.  She then follows the British Empire as embodied in the City of London, and satellite financial power centers, as well as their action centers, the IMF and World Bank. Shinzo Abe was a skilled Japanese nationalist diplomat and politician who did not want to sacrifice Japan to the globalist plans.
  Why Shinzo Abe Was Assassinated: Towards a ‘United States of Europe’ and a League of Nations​ 
  This is not an unexpected outcome for Japan but has been in the works for the last 50 years as a policy outlook of the Trilateral Commission (though is not limited to this institution). It is in fact the League of Nations’ vision that has been on the wish list of those who began WWI in hopes that the world would accept a one world government of regionalisations in service to an empire. It is what orchestrated the Great Depression to again attempt an implementation of a League of Nations outlook through the rise of a “National Socialist” brand of fascism seen in Italy and Germany (which would not have been possible without an economic crisis). And it was what launched a Second World War in a desperate attempt to forcefully implement such a vision onto the world...

..Count Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi would write in his other autobiography “An Idea Conquers the World”:
  “The use of mass hypnotism for propaganda purposes is most successful at times of crisis. When National Socialism made its bid for power, millions of Germans had been thrown completely off their balance: middle-class families had sunk to the level of the proletariat, whilst working-class families were without work. The Third Reich became the last hope for the stranded, of those who had lost their social status, and of those rootless beings who were seeking a new basis for an existence that had become meaningless…
..“The [Trilateral] commission was co-founded in July of 1973 by David Rockefeller, Zbigniew Brzezinski and a group of American, European and Japanese bankers, public officials and academics including Alan Greenspan and Paul Volcker. It was set up to foster close cooperation among nations that constituted the three-block architecture of today’s western empire. That ‘close cooperation’ was intended as the very foundation of the empire’s ‘three block agenda,’ as formulated by the stewards of the undead British Empire.”
  Its formation would be organised by Britain’s hand in America, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), (aka: the offspring of the Royal Institute for International Affairs, the leading think tank for the British Crown).
  On Nov 9th, 1978, Trilateral Commission member Paul Volcker (Federal Reserve Chairman from 1979-1987) would affirm at a lecture delivered at Warwick University in England: “A controlled disintegration in the world economy is a legitimate object for the 1980s.” This is also the ideology that has shaped Milton Friedman’s “Shock Therapy”.
  In 1975 the CFR launched a public study of global policy titled the 1980’s Project. The general theme was “controlled disintegration” of the world economy, and the report did not attempt to hide the famine, social chaos, and death its policy would bring upon most of the world’s population.
..The reality of the situation is that no nation is expected to survive this stand-off.
  It is not about the western bloc against the eastern bloc. It is about the ruination of all nations and the formation of one empire, or if you prefer the wording, one world government. Again, this is the League of Nations vision that has been the wet dream of a very small grouping since the First World War.

​  ​Indian refiners and traders are concerned they may not be able to continue to settle trades in dollars, especially if the price of Russian crude rises above a cap imposed by the Group of Seven nations and Australia in December.

We're There Again

 History Students,



  Meryl Nass MD has been promoting her friend's movie about COVID pandemic policies repeating the policies of Nazi Germany in WW-2, except on a global platform this time. Never Again is Now Global, Vera Sharav, (holocaust survivor) This is a strong point to make, that the dehumanization of a group of people, in order to take away their rights and then property, leads to taking away their lives a little bit later. All genocides have done this, including the genocide of native Americans, which Hitler greatly admired. Th "Unvaccinated" were the hated group this time. It did not quite work this time, because many of us immediately stood in that line and declared that this was morally wrong.  I "stood naked with the Jews" as I said of my own decision at work in fall of 2021. Anyone who does that will be criticised, and it was particularly sharp from those who felt that they had exclusive ownership to that episode of history. I hope that they understand better now.

  This is a 5 part series, to watch in installments, or all at once.   Never Again is Now Global, Vera Sharav

Changing Subjects

 ​Subjects of Empire,


  Empires, in general rise, expand and then decline, with decline typically being the most rapid phase. Empires provide a framework for trade between regions, bringing in new regions through enticement or force, then supplying all regions through the centralized economy, extracting the expenses of maintaining the empire, and extracting profits for the "owner" class.​

  The expenses of maintenance grow as the complexity of the empire grows, not just its size. Complexity keeps growing within bureaucratic systems, so they keep getting more expensive. Sustaining the bureaucracy is always the first or second priority for any bureaucracy. Bureaucracies are how humans do big projects.
As time progresses, the cut of resources to sustain an empire grows, even if the empire does not. Extraction of resources from the periphery uses up the cheapest resources. The profitability of an empire tends to decline as maintenance costs rise. 

  Some "owners" expect their profits to keep rising, and that requires hollowing-out of the production capacity of the empire. If the empire is stagnant, extracting profits causes decline through self-consumption, analogous to cancer. In the current western empire, some owners seek long term gain, and some want more now.

​  ​Let’s consider the center of the western-empire to be the financial “center” of London-Wall-street-Associated-tax-havens. BIS is part of this, as is BlackRock.
This western empire has trouble with the rapidity of the growth of money, which has outlandishly outdistanced the growth of real-economy in the world. It has been parasitizing real-economy to extract-value, to make those financial wealth-schemes “come-true” in at least some fraction.
It’s a Ponzi scheme, as we know. It’s gonna’ collapse. It’s not going to get to eat Russia to make payouts​ to support the Ponzi scheme.​.

​  ​The inability of the current imperial courtiers to make major direction changes will cause the (real) owners to take losses soon. The owners will need more intelligent/competent courtiers, a management team change.​ This applies to short-sighted, as well as long-sighted owners. Interests converge.​
The inertia ​of corrupt and cancerous management ​is ​fully as bad as it looks. The owners are not stupid, even if they are ​greedy and ​insulated from “reality”.

​  ​The collective west does not have any executive or management team which is competent and able to make quick decisions. Times of rapid economic restructuring call for that. There appears to be infighting between owners. The current courtiers have been in place a long time, but are “negatively efficacious” like those novel “vaccine” products.
​  ​The courtiers will ​inevitably ​be replaced. Sooner is better. ​Societal control-narratives are breaking. The COVID-pandemic narrative is now demanding ​expensive ​support, rather than creating support​ for the managers​. The Ukraine war control-narrative is very expensive, and will collapse badly when it stops being fed men, tanks, howitzers, ​ammunition and ​rockets. Th​e empire is literally running out of those things, forcing the moment of collapse to arrive..

​  ​Time is short to replace the control narratives before being completely discredited by reality.
Either case is fine with me, but I think the owners ​will ​have a different team to put in place in the US, which will not have so much inertia in the wrong direction, and will be more nimble​, better at meeting the actual physical-economy needs of other team-participants.​ That is to say, actually manage the economy of the declining empire, which still has a good resource base, even if downsized, and could be more prosperous with less cancer, less stupidity​ and less overhead.

​  ​If the management team in DC can be swapped out before this fall, a lot of sensible ​arrangements may be negotiated with the rest of the world, and within the imperial core.​ This will be less damaging to all parties within the remaining empire, and in the areas which are already gaining autonomy. Trade does not require the expenses of an imperial bureaucracy and cancerous profiteering by the parasitic-class of elites. Somebody does have to police piracy for the common good. There are still shared expenses to have a productive economy. Parasitism remains alluring.

​  Not much is being written about Twitter's becoming a versatile payment platform under Musk's ownership, but electronic-bank-transfers and PayPal are where Musk first got rich. The world is headed for financial regime restructuring. Musk's "super app" would allow multiple currency options, and would presumably allow conversion of liquidity between currencies. This could prove very useful on a daily basis, and at multiple levels as the $US steps down from global reserve currency status, and other currencies, fiat, digital and gold, step into the multipolar financial regime. This would be synergistic with Musk's Starlink.
​  ​Twitter is prepping for payments, and bitcoin might be in the mix.
According to a Financial Times report, Elon is open to adding BTC and crypto to its Twitter payments vision.
While the “super app” vision would prioritize fiat, its future will likely include the alternative payment method.
Elon Musks’ Twitter has reportedly begun applying for regulatory licenses across the U.S. in apparent preparation to begin facilitating payments through the app.

​Even after they rework years of data to "correct errors from previous years".​
Recent Data Shows 'Stunning Increase' In Serious Harm Reports In Young Healthy Pilots: Army Lt. Col. Theresa Long​ 
​  ​“What I found was a clear signal, that something in 2021 changed the health of service members,” Long told The Epoch Times. She said these signals were consistent with those in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) reports. But unlike VAERS reports, DMED data showed spikes in the number of diagnoses “made by a healthcare professional within the DOD on service members.”
​  ​According to the Military Health System, the DMED provides remote access to a subset of data contained in the Defense Medical Surveillance System (DMSS). The DMSS contains up-to-date and historical data on diseases and medical events (including reportable events) and “is available to authorized users such as U.S. military medical providers, epidemiologists, medical researchers, safety officers or medical operations/ clinical support staff for surveying health conditions in the U.S. military.”
​  ​“After querying all pilots across the DOD, for all-cause morbidity and mortality, I found a stunning increase in the number of reportable events, spiking from an average of 226 reportable events a year (2016-2019) to 4,059 reports in 2022,” she explained.
​  ​A DOD reportable event is any patient safety event resulting in death, permanent harm, or severe temporary harm—and all require a comprehensive systematic analysis and a follow-on corrective action implementation plan report.
​  ​“The point is there is a statistically significant increase in death, permanent harm, or severe temporary harm in young healthy fit pilots​.​”

​  ​Why Did UK Wait 3 Months to Disclose Data Showing COVID Vaccine Risks Outweigh Benefits for Omicron Variant?​  
  ​The U.K. government on Jan. 25 released a report showing the risks of serious adverse effects from mRNA COVID-19 vaccines largely outweigh the benefits. John Campbell, Ph.D., analyzed the data, which U.K. health officials knew about in October 2022.

​  This is really interesting, particularly the map of global oceans. Phytoplankton are massively outgassing toluene and benzene into the southern ocean, and especially the air above the southern ocean, greatly influencing cloud formation.​ This is not subtle at all, but has been completely overlooked until now.
​  ​Ocean life is seeding the clouds above it, and the modelers didn’t know
​  The science is settled except we only just realized that the benzene and toluene gas over the vast Southern Ocean were not man-made pollutants after all, but were made by industrious phytoplankton. For the first time someone went and measured the benzene and toluene in the water and discovered that instead of being a sink for human pollutants in the air above, the ocean was the source.
​  ​This matters because these two gases increased the amount of organic aerosols by, wait for it, between 8% and up to 80% in bursts. And all that extra aerosol matters, of course, because aerosols seed clouds, which change the weather.

 Unarmed Civilians,


​  ​Jim Kunstler: The War Against Us​   [It looks global, coordinated, and it keeps going, even when it is doing the opposite of what it is supposed to​ do​.]
​  ​“We now live in a nation where doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the press destroys information, religion destroys morals, and our banks destroy our economy ” – Chris Hedges
​  ​The question you might ask these days: how did we weaponize everything in American life against ourselves? Can you name an institution that is not at war with the people of this land? The exact mechanisms for all that bad faith stand in plain sight these days, and persons responsible can be easily identified. What’s missing are discernible motives.

​Alastaiir Crooke , At War with Russia, Europe Peers Down the Abyss
​  ​The real enemy is humanity itself – whose behaviour was to be changed. President Clinton’s delegate to Rio, Tim Wirth, admitted the same, stating, “We have got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the ‘right thing’ in terms of economic policy”.
​  ​The point here is that the Rockefeller-Davos prescription was always a scam for blowing a new financial bubble to keep the dollar hegemony project afloat. The world however, is moving on from the Davos unitary world governance prescription, to de-centralisation and multi polarity – in pursuit of the renaissance of autonomy, historic values and sovereignty. At the WEF this year, it was obvious: Davos is passé​..​.
​..Colonel Douglas Macgregor, a former adviser to a U.S. Defence Secretary, says that the mood in Washington has notably changed: DC gets it – the U.S. is losing the proxy war. This fact however, Macgregor says, still remains ‘under the radar’ in respect to the main-stream media. The more important point Macgregor makes is that this late ‘awakening’ to reality is not shifting the stance of the neocons hawks, one jot. They want escalation...
​..​The ‘uniformed’ militaries of Europe also ‘get it’: that Ukraine is losing, and now are very worried by the prospect of escalation – and of war engulfing eastern Europe. The tanks have nothing to do with their calculus about the war outcome.​..
​..Popular opinion, and key strands of élite opinion in Germany (and elsewhere in Europe), are becoming hardened in opposition to the war. The concern is that the emphasis on sending exactly German tanks, with their dark symbolism of past bloody battles, is intended to bury any prospect of any future German relationship with Russia – for good.​..
..Poland, already mobilising a 200,000 man military force, would become the new proxy (and the largest army in Europe) in a wider European war against Russia...
​..Polish Foreign Ministry official – reported that “every day, Polish politicians say what the representatives of Germany or France usually do not dare to say, and thus formulate one of the goals of the war, that Russia must be unconditionally weakened as far as possible. Our goal is to stop Russia forever. A rotten compromise must not be allowed”.
..The axis of states “at war with Russia” stand at the edge of an economic precipice. Living standards are collapsing at the fastest rate since WW2. Anger, slow to ignite, is now burgeoning. The British and EU political classes have no answers to this crisis. The Ruling Class try to sit tight, and trust that the people will accept all ‘things’...
..Colonel Macgregor suggests that the supply of ‘tanks’ were intended to “prolong the suffering” – i.e., more ‘optics’ until (presumably) a scapegoat can be identified that can carry the can for an eventual Ukraine débacle. Who might that be? Well, the rumour mill hints that the Biden Classified Documents saga is a ruse intended to lead to Joe Biden’s departure ahead of the Democratic primaries...
..The Europeans fear kinetic war in Europe, whereas the American faction more fears the prospect of financial melt-down, should the war widen.
Of course, Moscow too, does not want a wider war – although it must prepare against just such a contingency.​..
​..Russia however, is unlikely to take the bait: It has the real strategic advantage in all areas of engagement with the Ukrainian forces. Whereas, the West has only the ephemeral optical escalatory advantage.
​  ​Team Putin has the latitude to manage any escalatory steps (by way of retaliation) in mini, scattergun fashion, so to avoid giving the Washington warriors their hoped for ‘Pearl Harbour’ peg (as when the U.S. fleet was left tethered and at anchor, as a target intended to entice a Japanese attack).


​  Ukraine's Tank Problem
  The M-1 “is a complex weapons system that is challenging to maintain, as we’ve talked about.  That was true yesterday; it’s true today; it will be true in the future.”
  There is also a backlog of orders for the tank.  The Lima facility in Ohio, operated by General Dynamics, is the only facility that assembles the Abrams.  It can produce a mere 12 tanks per month and must fulfill orders to supply 250 A2 tanks for Poland starting in 2025 to replace the same number of Soviet-era T-72 tanks Warsaw supplied to Kyiv last year. Taiwan also put in an order for 108 M1A2 tanks in 2019.  Even getting to work on the 31 units promised by the Biden administration for Ukraine looks to be ambitious.

A pot of money will become available to pay out for a limited number of injuries, collected from the excise taxes paid for all vaccines in the program. The USG and the manufacturer will again dodge liability.

​  Peter McCullough MD: Who Will be Spared from COVID-19 Vaccine Injury?​
​  ​These data suggest that ~85% of those who have received COVID-19 vaccines have no significant problems, and ~15% have been damaged. While this number is unacceptably high, and the vaccine campaign should be stopped, many are wondering now: “why me?” There are almost certainly factors related to the vaccine product that plays a role. In general, Moderna with 100 mcg of mRNA appears to be more toxic than Pfizer with 30 mcg of mRNA.Janssen seems to be similar acutely to Pfizer, but with a better longer-term safety profile. Novavax, with 5 mcg of purified Spike protein, appears to have the most favorable safety profile with no genetic material being injected into the body.
​  ​It has been reported that 80% of the Pfizer deaths have come from ~30% of lots, whereas 80% of the Moderna deaths have come from 20% of lots. Thus, the lot number must be a proxy for mRNA content, contaminants, or some other factor related to the product.
