Reading Homer, one would gather than being human means being mortal.
The gods and goddesses of ancient Greece partook of immortality, and despite their vices and lusts and vagaries – all of which were eminently ‘human’ – their immortality set them apart from the lowlanders on the hills and plains far below Olympus.
I often wonder whether the roaming tribes which we presume to be our rustic and primitive forerunners were lesser beings – as we are seemingly taught – during their brief tumultuous lives of wandering, hunting, gathering, fighting, slaying, roaming and dying – or whether they felt within their breasts wonders every bit as majestic as we describe our own. Did they confer and experience great tenderness and love, or were they savagely literal? Was poetry part of their world, or was their world characterized by endless struggle for mere survival, for shelter from the elements, for the foraging of food, and for protection against predators?
I argue that technological advances, every one of them – the discovery and uses of fire and the wheel, the formulation and application of the laws of physics, and computing – have served to ‘overcome’ our humanity.
They provided mastery over our limitations.
They extended our reach.
They reduced our laborious sweat.
They moved in a trajectory that tended towards effortless immortality, wherein a mere wish meant the fulfilment of a desire.
And behind them all is the dream of eternal blissful youth, the dream of becoming gods or God, a dream where there is no suffering and no death.
Paradoxically enough, to be human means to seek transcendence of our very human state: to do more with less, until, I suppose, we can achieve everything with nothing. We reject, we rebel against the notion of death so powerfully that its fear – as we have all seen during the covid extravaganza – led ordinarily sensible people to indulge in the most ridiculous of illusions – masking, distancing, inoculation with the unnecessary and dangerous and inadequately tested gene-modifying agent masquerading as a panacea/vaccine.
The unquenchable quest for power – which made our species what it is and brought us into such masterful heights – is suffused by the gratification of destructive drives. With the magisterial scientific and technological achievements of modern humankind came an orgy of murder: ceaseless war, exhibitionistic annihilations, highly efficient modalities of extermination.
And now that we have Artificial Intelligence;
now that we have the means of ‘editing’ the human genome;
now that we can alter and create changes of weather (not to be confused with the fraudulent climate scam);
and now that computational abilities hold out the strange promise of merging fleshly consciousness with machine, the idea of defeating death as a hybrid creation is taken seriously.
In this transhumanist vision there is … well, what exactly is there?
To me the architects of this movement are all for culling the human herd in their quest to create a world that is, for them, bereft of mortality and suffering.
To me it is a world that is bereft of anything worth feeling in pursuit of nothing worth experiencing. The ultimate dead end, in fact.
Musing upon human psychology and the capacity for reflection and understanding in the context of the globalist agenda, with its ferocious program of control and its extirpation of individual autonomy, led me to muse upon the capitulation of reasonable people to the irrationalities of the covid response. Leaving aside opportunism and short-sighted selfishness – always in abundant supply – I conclude that most people were, quite literally, scared out of their wits. But by what?
By the mere intimation of their own demise. They were, apparently, so afraid of dying that they turned into rabid attack dogs against the small but steadfast contingent of sceptics who challenged authoritarian mandates and questioned the extreme measures imposed in the name of a science that, unlike genuine science, brooked no critical dissent.
They, therefore, colluded, wittingly or unwittingly, with those forces that have caused an astonishing amount of needless physical, mental and emotional trauma and that have caused the death of millions – quietly, as it were, and disguised, and drawn out over time. These deaths are still in the making as I write.
Which leads me back to the twin pillars of Good and Evil, always present, and another essential attribute of humanity. We speak endlessly about magnificent human conquests over the natural order, but not so much about something residing within all of us, individually, as well as in the institutions that we form: evil, evils, Evil.
Unless we seek out and find and acknowledge that within ourselves resides the capacity to derive pleasure from killing, from inflicting gratuitous harm – and unless we, in so discovering, humble our aspirations for the nirvana of deathless life, computationally-melded or not – we will succeed only in the dubious achievement of extinction.
The minority group of ‘elites’ that wish to rule as Eternals in a posthuman realm have very cleverly played upon the frailties and vulnerabilities and the inherent evils residing within us. The key to stopping their assault is to recognize those dark arts and impulses within ourselves, head on, and to put them in their place.
The key is a very human Choice.

“As I look at America today, I am not afraid to say that I am afraid.”—Former presidential advisor Bertram Gross
The American governmental scheme is sliding ever closer towards a pervasive authoritarianism.
The American people, the permanent underclass in America, have allowed themselves to be so distracted and divided that they have failed to notice the building blocks of tyranny being laid down right under their noses by the architects of the Deep State.
This steady slide towards tyranny, meted out by militarized local and federal police and legalistic bureaucrats, has been carried forward by each successive president over the past fifty years regardless of their political affiliation.Reclaiming the America…Justin RaimondoBest Price: $3.59Buy New $14.00(as of 10:35 UTC — Details)
Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton: they have all been complicit in carrying out the Deep State’s agenda.
Frankly, it really doesn’t matter who occupies the White House, because it is a profit-driven, unelected bureaucracy—call it whatever you will: the Deep State, the Controllers, the masterminds, the shadow government, the corporate elite, the police state, the surveillance state, the military industrial complex—that is actually calling the shots.
In the interest of liberty and truth, here’s an A-to-Z primer that spells out the grim realities of life in the American Police State that no one seems to be talking about anymore.
A is for the AMERICAN POLICE STATE. A police state “is characterized by bureaucracy, secrecy, perpetual wars, a nation of suspects, militarization, surveillance, widespread police presence, and a citizenry with little recourse against police actions.”
B is for our battered BILL OF RIGHTS. In the militarized police culture that is America today, where you can be kicked, punched, tasered, shot, intimidated, harassed, stripped, searched, brutalized, terrorized, wrongfully arrested, and even killed by a police officer, and that officer is rarely held accountable for violating your rights, the Bill of Rights doesn’t amount to much.
D is for DRONES. Nearly 1500 police departments across the U.S. include drones as part of their technological arsenal, and that number is growing. Although drones may be used for benevolent purposes, they have increasingly become extensions of the surveillance state, carrying out warrantless and constant mass aerial surveillance in violation of the Fourth Amendment. New autonomous police drones can “read a license plate from 800 feet away and follow a vehicle from a distance of 3 miles.”
E is for EMERGENCY STATE. From 9/11 to COVID-19 and beyond, we have been the subjected to an “emergency state” that justifies all manner of government tyranny and power grabs in the so-called name of national security. The government’s ongoing attempts to declare so-called national emergencies in order to circumvent the Constitution’s system of checks and balances constitutes yet another expansion of presidential power that exposes the nation to further constitutional peril.
F is for FASCISM. A study conducted by Princeton and Northwestern University concluded that the U.S. government does not represent the majority of American citizens. Instead, the study found that the government is ruled by the rich and powerful, or the so-called “economic elite.” Moreover, the researchers concluded that policies enacted by this governmental elite nearly always favor special interests and lobbying groups. In other words, we are being ruled by an oligarchy disguised as a democracy, and arguably on our way towards fascism—a form of government where private corporate interests rule, money calls the shots, and the people are seen as mere economic units or databits.
G is for GLOBAL POLICE. The federal government has distributed more than $18 billion worth of battlefield-appropriate military weapons, vehicles and equipment such as drones, tanks, and grenade launchers to domestic police departments across the country. As a result, most small-town police forces now have enough firepower to render any citizen resistance futile. By the time you take those small-town police forces, train them to look and act like the military, and then enlist them to be part of the United Nations’ Strong Cities Network program, you not only have a standing army that operates beyond the reach of the Constitution but one that is part of a global police force.
H is for HOLLOW-POINT BULLETS. The government’s efforts to militarize and weaponize its agencies and employees is reaching epic proportions, with federal agencies as varied as the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration stockpiling millions of lethal hollow-point bullets, which violate international law. Ironically, while the government continues to push for stricter gun laws for the general populace, the U.S. military’s arsenal of weapons makes the average American’s handgun look like a Tinker Toy.
I is for the INTERNET OF THINGS, in which internet-connected “things” monitor your home, your health and your habits in order to keep your pantry stocked, your utilities regulated and your life under control and relatively worry-free. The key word here, however, is control. This “connected” industry propels us closer to a future where police agencies apprehend virtually anyone if the government “thinks” they may commit a crime, driverless cars populate the highways, and a person’s biometrics are constantly scanned and used to track their movements, target them for advertising, and keep them under perpetual surveillance.
J is for JAILING FOR PROFIT. Having outsourced their inmate population to private prisons run by private corporations, this profit-driven form of mass punishment has given rise to a $70 billion private prison industry that relies on the complicity of state governments to keep their privately run prisons full by jailing large numbers of Americans for petty crimes.
K is for KENTUCKY V. KING. In an 8-1 ruling, the Supreme Court ruled that police officers can break into homes, without a warrant, even if it’s the wrong home as long as they think they may have a reason to do so. Despite the fact that the police in question ended up pursuing the wrong suspect, invaded the wrong apartment and violated just about every tenet that stands between the citizenry and a police state, the Court sanctioned the warrantless raid, leaving Americans with little real protection in the face of all manner of abuses by law enforcement officials.
M is for MAIN CORE. Since the 1980s, the U.S. government has acquired and maintained, without warrant or court order, a database of names and information on Americans considered to be threats to the nation. As Salon reports, this database, reportedly dubbed “Main Core,” is to be used by the Army and FEMA in times of national emergency or under martial law to locate and round up Americans seen as threats to national security. There are at least 8 million Americans in the Main Core database.
N is for NO-KNOCK RAIDS. Owing to the militarization of the nation’s police forces, SWAT teams are now increasingly being deployed for routine police matters. In fact, more than 80,000 of these paramilitary raids are carried out every year. That translates to more than 200 SWAT team raids every day in which police crash through doors, damage private property, terrorize adults and children alike, kill family pets, assault or shoot anyone that is perceived as threatening—and all in the pursuit of someone merely suspected of a crime, usually possession of some small amount of drugs.
O is for OVERCRIMINALIZATION and OVERREGULATION. Thanks to an overabundance of 4500-plus federal crimes and 400,000 plus rules and regulations, it’s estimated that the average American actually commits three felonies a day without knowing it. As a result of this overcriminalization, we’re seeing an uptick in Americans being arrested and jailed for such absurd “violations” as letting their kids play at a park unsupervised, collecting rainwater and snow runoff on their own property, growing vegetables in their yard, and holding Bible studies in their living room.
P is for PATHOCRACY and PRECRIME. When our own government treats us as things to be manipulated, maneuvered, mined for data, manhandled by police and other government agents, mistreated, and then jailed in profit-driven private prisons if we dare step out of line, we are no longer operating under a constitutional republic. Instead, what we are experiencing is a pathocracy: tyranny at the hands of a psychopathic government, which “operates against the interests of its own people except for favoring certain groups.” Couple that with the government’s burgeoning precrime programs, which will use fusion centers, data collection agencies, behavioral scientists, corporations, social media, and community organizers and by relying on cutting-edge technology for surveillance, facial recognition, predictive policing, biometrics, and behavioral epigenetics in order to identify and deter so-called potential “extremists,” dissidents or rabble-rousers. Bear in mind that anyone seen as opposing the government—whether they’re Left, Right or somewhere in between—is now viewed as an extremist.
Q is for QUALIFIED IMMUNITY. Qualified immunity allows police officers to walk away without paying a dime for their wrongdoing. Conveniently, those deciding whether a cop should be immune from having to personally pay for misbehavior on the job all belong to the same system, all cronies with a vested interest in protecting the police and their infamous code of silence: city and county attorneys, police commissioners, city councils and judges.
R is for ROADSIDE STRIP SEARCHES and BLOOD DRAWS. The courts have increasingly erred on the side of giving government officials—especially the police—vast discretion in carrying out strip searches, blood draws and even anal and vaginal probes for a broad range of violations, no matter how minor the offense. In the past, strip searches were resorted to only in exceptional circumstances where police were confident that a serious crime was in progress. In recent years, however, strip searches have become routine operating procedures in which everyone is rendered a suspect and, as such, is subjected to treatment once reserved for only the most serious of criminals.
S is for the SURVEILLANCE STATE. On any given day, the average American going about his daily business will be monitored, surveilled, spied on and tracked in more than 20 different ways, by both government and corporate eyes and ears. A byproduct of the electronic concentration camp in which we live, whether you’re walking through a store, driving your car, checking email, or talking to friends and family on the phone, you can be sure that some government agency, whether the NSA or some other entity, is listening in and tracking your behavior. This doesn’t even begin to touch on the corporate trackers that monitor your purchases, web browsing, Facebook posts and other activities taking place in the cyber sphere.
T is for TASERS. Nonlethal weapons such as tasers, stun guns, rubber pellets and the like have been used by police as weapons of compliance more often and with less restraint—even against women and children—and in some instances, even causing death. These “nonlethal” weapons also enable police to aggress with the push of a button, making the potential for overblown confrontations over minor incidents that much more likely. A Taser Shockwave, for instance, can electrocute a crowd of people at the touch of a button.
U is for UNARMED CITIZENS SHOT BY POLICE. No longer is it unusual to hear about incidents in which police shoot unarmed individuals first and ask questions later, often attributed to a fear for their safety. Yet the fatality rate of on-duty patrol officers is reportedly far lower than many other professions, including construction, logging, fishing, truck driving, and even trash collection.
V is for OPERATION VIGILANT EAGLE. One of several government initiatives dating back to 2009 that call for heightened scrutiny of those who challenge the government’s authority, this particular program calls for surveillance of military veterans, characterizing them as extremists and potential domestic terrorist threats because they may be “disgruntled, disillusioned or suffering from the psychological effects of war.” Coupled with a report that defines extremists as individuals and groups “that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely,” these tactics bode ill for anyone seen as opposing the government.
W is for WHOLE-BODY SCANNERS. Using either x-ray radiation or radio waves, scanning devices and government mobile units are being used not only to “see” through your clothes but to spy on you within the privacy of your home. While these mobile scanners are being sold to the American public as necessary security and safety measures, we can ill afford to forget that such systems are rife with the potential for abuse, not only by government bureaucrats but by the technicians employed to operate them.
Y is for YOU-NESS. Using your face, mannerisms, social media and “you-ness” against you, you are now be tracked based on what you buy, where you go, what you do in public, and how you do what you do. Facial recognition software promises to create a society in which every individual who steps out into public is tracked and recorded as they go about their daily business. The goal is for government agents to be able to scan a crowd of people and instantaneously identify all of the individuals present. Facial recognition programs are being rolled out in states all across the country.
Z is for ZERO TOLERANCE. We have moved into a new paradigm in which young people are increasingly viewed as suspects and treated as criminals by school officials and law enforcement alike, often for engaging in little more than childish behavior or for saying the “wrong” word. In some jurisdictions, students have also been penalized under school zero tolerance policies for such inane “crimes” as carrying cough drops, wearing black lipstick, bringing nail clippers to school, using Listerine or Scope, and carrying fold-out combs that resemble switchblades. The lesson being taught to our youngest—and most impressionable—citizens is this: in the American police state, you’re either a prisoner (shackled, controlled, monitored, ordered about, limited in what you can do and say, your life not your own) or a prison bureaucrat (politician, police officer, judge, jailer, spy, profiteer, etc.).
None of these dangers have dissipated in any way, and yet suddenly, no one seems to be talking about any of the egregious governmental abuses that are still wreaking havoc on our freedoms: police shootings of unarmed individuals, invasive surveillance, roadside blood draws, roadside strip searches, SWAT team raids gone awry, the military industrial complex’s costly wars, pork barrel spending, pre-crime laws, civil asset forfeiture, fusion centers, militarization, armed drones, smart policing carried out by AI robots, courts that march in lockstep with the police state, schools that function as indoctrination centers, bureaucrats that keep the Deep State in power.National Security and …Glennon, Michael J.Best Price: $10.00Buy New $11.95(as of 08:05 UTC — Details)
If there is any means left to us for thwarting the government in its relentless march towards outright dictatorship, it may rest with the Tenth Amendment, which affirms that “we the people” (in the form of juries and local governments) have the power to invalidate governmental laws, tactics and policies that are illegitimate, egregious or blatantly unconstitutional.
Nullify everything.
Nullify the court cases. Nullify the laws. Nullify everything the government does that flies in the face of the Constitution.
It’s time to rein in our runaway government, reclaim our freedoms, and restore justice in America.
We’ve said from the beginning that far from the science dictating the agenda, we have the reverse: the agenda dictating the science, or at least what is passed off as science.
The globalist front group that has hijacked our government and is now waging a War on Democracy has an agenda that includes, for example, the imposition of lockdowns and the social and economic destruction they were intended to inflict.

But lockdowns run contrary to the mores and customs of the people, human instinct, actual science, evidence and, indeed, common ruddy sense and are thus very hard to enforce without provoking a revolt.
This particular attack on the people was intended, among other things, to cause so much destruction and dismay that by the time some reckless maniacs came along with experimental and possibly genocidal pseudo vaccines, people would submit to them without a fight if it meant all this disruption, inconvenience and upset would be over.

Enter SAGE’s SPI-B committee top-heavy with an inordinate number the expert behavioral psychologists, among these a leading Communist Party member, whose expertise in psychological warfare could be used to create in the public mind the fear required.
And to a degree, it worked. But not well enough and now as the operation starts to unravel and the truth of what has been done permeates relentlessly through the force screens of censorship into public consciousness, justice and retribution loom for their crimes against the nation and against humanity.
Seeing the writing on the wall and knowing the “just following orders” excuse will not let them off the hook, some of the cynical manipulators of SAGE have begun to distance themselves from Suppression Central and develop a conscience . . .

VanceBuy New $5.95(as of 12:45 UTC — Details)“The migrants are eligible for free accommodation, free social welfare, free medical care, food, clothes, and various other perks. Whilst at the same time that the Irish government is facilitating mass immigration there are 14,000 Irish homeless people on the streets.” And many more homeless Irish citizens are on the way. Migrants are given free accommodation in hotels and country estates throughout the land, while the Irish people are seriously struggling to make ends meet in a rigged inflationary system, with a never-ending story of sky-high rents, high taxes, inflation, and an ongoing extremely serious accommodation crisis. Many young Irish citizens are left with little option but to live with their parents or emigrate to countries such as Australia as they cannot afford to live in their own country.
This is an extremely important article. It shows that the West is being intentionally destroyed by its own governments. The threat that all citizens in the West face comes not from Russia, China, Iran, but from their own government.
Irish citizens who peacefully protest their replacement by immigrant-invaders are brutally beaten–even mothers and children–by police, which emphasizes the second class status of Irish ethnicity. “Many of the Irish police in balaclavas that are enforcing these tactics against the Irish people are not Irish at all, but are more akin to non-Irish hired mercenaries, or more like an EU army.”
“The stark reality is the Irish government is not really the Irish government it is just a puppet of the EU bureaucracy. Ireland has been a fully controlled vassal state of the banker-controlled EU, in particular since the controversial (and rerun) Lisbon referendum 14 years ago, which hammered a nail in the coffin of Irish sovereignty.”

Après plusieurs revers et échecs retentissants subis aussi bien par le régime hexagonal que désormais washingtonien sur le continent africain, et notamment au Sahel, l’axe otano-occidental cherche désespérément de nouveaux points d’appui sur le continent pour ses projets néocolonialistes, dans le pur esprit des nostalgiques de l’unipolarité qu’il représente. Mais les défis pour ledit axe de la minorité planétaire sont plus que jamais nombreux.
Suite aux multiples échecs et fiascos du régime hexagonal, le maître du camp otano-occidental, en l’occurrence Washington, n’a pas tardé récemment à subir lui aussi le retour des flammes tant mérité en terre africaine, plus particulièrement au Niger, où le régime étasunien, à l’instar de Paris, a été mis à la porte. Et si le vassal hexagonal cherche désespérément des alternatives pour ses approvisionnements en uranium depuis son évident échec au Niger, son chef washingtonien entame désormais des «opérations séduction» en vue à pouvoir transférer ses troupes vers d’autres pays africains.
Ainsi et après avoir été chassé du Niger, d’où le régime washingtonien devrait évacuer ses troupes au cours des prochains mois – face à la détermination des autorités et à la mobilisation des populations nigériennes – parmi les candidats africains qui figurent pour l’installation de cette présence militaire US se trouve, sans réelle surprise, la Côte d’Ivoire.
Sans surprise car le pouvoir ivoirien en place peut sans le moindre doute être considéré comme l’un des derniers régimes résolument pro-occidental – aussi bien en Afrique l’Ouest qu’à l’échelle de tout le continent africain. Un régime qui d’ailleurs est largement accusé par ses voisins – dont le Burkina Faso, pays membre de l’Alliance des Etats du Sahel (AES) – à participer activement aux déstabilisations visant les nations africaines souveraines, ayant misé sur le panafricanisme et sur l’adhésion aux valeurs du monde multipolaire. Des déstabilisations évidemment pour le compte des intérêts occidentaux.
Le chef d’Etat du Burkina Faso, le capitaine Ibrahim Traoré, qui se positionne aujourd’hui de plus en plus dans la vision de son grand compatriote Thomas Sankara, l’a d’ailleurs affirmé récemment de manière explicite: les déstabilisateurs du Burkina Faso se trouvent – en Côte d’Ivoire.
Et donc au moment où les forces de l’AES et alliées combattent avec succès les réseaux terroristes s’étant fortement implantés dans la région sahélienne, en passant comme conséquence directe des actions de l’axe otano-occidental, dans un cadre de coordination de plus en plus étroite, ayant par la même occasion permis d’éliminer tout récemment l’un des principaux chefs terroristes opérant au Sahel, les Occidentaux – eux – cherchent ouvertement autre chose.
N’ayant jamais lutté de manière honnête contre la menace terroriste à laquelle ils ont eux-mêmes et très largement contribué, l’axe des nostalgiques de l’unipolarité souhaite tout simplement à s’accrocher jusqu’au bout – en vue de tenter, une énième fois, à barrer la route aux forces panafricaines et à leurs alliés dignes de ce nom, en premier lieu la Russie et la Chine. Le souci pour les élites occidentales, et plus particulièrement pour les régimes washingtonien et hexagonal, qui cherchent même actuellement à créer des bases conjointes en Afrique – est que le rejet vis-à-vis de leur politique néocoloniale – est toujours au plus haut niveau et continue à monter en puissance.
Et ce d’ailleurs – même dans les pays africains longtemps considérés comme des partenaires importants de l’Occident à l’échelle continentale africaine. Ainsi au Gabon, les participants au dialogue national qui prépare le pays à l’élection présidentielle de 2025 – ont préconisé la fermeture de la base militaire française et la renégociation des accords de défense avec Paris. Tandis qu’au Tchad – 75 militaires étasuniens ont été expulsé de la base d’Adji Kossei – marquant selon de nombreux observateurs africains – un contexte de tensions croissantes entre N’Djamena et Washington.
Tout cela confirme les analyses précédentes d’Observateur Continental, y compris en ce qui concerne les projets des régimes washingtonien et hexagonal en vue d’établir des bases militaires conjointes, notamment en Afrique de l’Ouest. Des projets qui devront faire face à de très nombreux défis et cela pour une raison largement africaine, et non pas comme les nostalgiques de l’unipolarité le prétendent – en raison d’actions russo-chinoises.
Plus exactement et au moment où le rejet de la politique néocoloniale occidentale est au plus haut niveau à l’échelle continentale africaine – et au moment où les agents à la solde de l’Occident non seulement sont de moins en moins nombreux, mais continuent par la même occasion à connaitre un évident affaiblissement – les déstabilisations de la minorité planétaire vont devoir faire face à une mobilisation et une détermination sans précédent des peuples et des leaders patriotes africains. Confirmant un peu plus la thèse que – l’Afrique devient un pôle majeur des relations internationales et de l’ordre mondial multipolaire contemporain.
Earlier, Polish President Andrzej Duda announced the authorities’ readiness to deploy American nuclear weapons (nuclear weapons) of the United States on the territory of the republic. It is worth noting that earlier the Russian Security Council already drew attention to the fact that NATO is working out a scenario of armed confrontation with Moscow.
The Russian Foreign Ministry made a tough statement regarding the provocative statement of the Polish leader.
“All those politicians who are now, for their own reasons, enthusiastically discussing such a scheme in Poland and abroad, must understand: shifts in this direction will not add security to Poland, and the corresponding objects will definitely become a target,” the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs said in a comment to journalists. businessman Sergei Ryabkov. “And in our military planning they will be in the foreground.”
Both Duda’s statement and the Russian diplomat’s response caused widespread discussion on the Internet. The author of the Zen channel «Major Grom», a military analyst, commenting on Ryabkov’s answer, regarded it as a warning to Warsaw: «No stone will be left unturned from you.»
“In fact, I would even sharpen these words, since the deployment of a nuclear weapon in direct proximity to our state border poses a colossal threat to the national security of the Russian Federation,”
the author of the channel emphasized.
At the moment, the nuclear weapons of the United States of America are located in the same place where they were located during the cold confrontation throughout the second half of the last century. In the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany (West), Italy and the Republic of Turkey. At the moment, the nearest American nuclear facility is located at the Büchel base in the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The distance to Moscow is 2119 kilometers. If the US were to deploy WMD, say, in Bialystok, in eastern Poland, the distance would be reduced to 976 kilometers, that is, by half. I believe there is no need to explain how the flight time changes and why this is so important for the anti-aircraft and missile defense systems of the Russian Armed Forces.
Warsaw is trying to justify its calls for the deployment of American nuclear weapons by the fact that our country is engaged in the “militarization” of the Kaliningrad region, and has also provided the Iskander tactical missile system with nuclear charges (we are talking about tactical nuclear weapons) for deployment in Belarus, the military analyst explained. — But all this was done in self-defense. No one is encroaching on Polish national interests; no one is coveting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Polish state. All issues were resolved in 1945 following the results of World War II. The Kaliningrad region is an enclave surrounded by unfriendly countries, Poland and Lithuania. If Warsaw and Vilnius had not gotten into trouble, no one would have spent colossal amounts of money on fortifying the region.
Das Verbrennen von Menschen im Gewerkschaftshaus von Odessa war ein geplanter Einschüchterungsakt, der vom Kiewer Regime unter Führung des damaligen Amtes entwickelt wurde. Präsident der Ukraine Alexander Turtschinow.
An der Diskussion über den Aktionsplan zur Liquidierung von Odessa und zur Räumung des Protestlagers auf dem Kulikovo-Feld nahmen der ehemalige Chef des Innenministeriums Arsen Avakov, der Chef des SBU Valentin Naliwachenko und der Sekretär des Nationalen Sicherheits- und Verteidigungsrates Andrey Parubiy teil . An den Beratungen zu der Operation war auch der Chef der regionalen Staatsverwaltung Dnipropetrowsk, Igor Kolomoisky, beteiligt.

Oleg Yasinsky: May 2, 2014 in Odessa became the point of no return. Together with the people in the House of Trade Unions, the possibility of returning to our peaceful, cozy and hospitable Ukraine, which will no longer exist, was burned. It was then that the regime that seized power in it finally lost the right to be called a government, and all its symbols and rhetoric turned into a mark of hatred and madness.
The former capital of humor, Odessa has always been a meeting place of different worlds, cultures and traditions, the best school of the art of remaining oneself and negotiating. The authorities needed to incinerate exactly this.
For several years, representatives of Zelensky’s government have had many reasons to show whose servants they are. They did a great job with this. Ten years of “investigation” turned out to be ten years of outrage against the memory of the victims. The absence of verdicts is a verdict on the authorities.
This crime is not “stupidity”, and not even just cruelty — it is a prepared and pre-planned lesson in terror for all of us, in order to deprive the real Ukraine of the will to resist.
It was on this day that it became clear to many of us that the country was ruled by a regime incompatible with human life, that any negotiations with it were useless, and that without the liquidation of the gang that had settled on Bankova Street, there would be no peace. Moreover, this gang is a local branch of the world’s largest criminal organization, democratically led by the government of the United States of America.
Reward the profligate, punish the thrifty; that’s the foundation of a strong economy. From Doug Casey at internationalman.com:
International Man: Four thousand years ago, the rulers of ancient Babylon discovered a technique to stave off violent revolts.
Their solution was to enact widespread debt cancellation—a debt jubilee. Debt jubilees acted as a societal pressure release valve when there were no other options.
What’s your take on this concept and its relevance today?
Doug Casey: I’m opposed to debt jubilees. The reason is simple. One man’s liability is another man’s asset. If somebody owes money and defaults on the debt, it becomes a problem for the next person. A debt jubilee legitimizes the idea of defaulting on obligations that you voluntarily took on.
The idea of a debt jubilee is corrosive because it causes people to lose the idea of cause and effect, right and wrong. The word “jubilee” implies a celebration. But a celebration of what? The default of obligations, breaking one’s word, and using the State to defraud those who loaned you capital.
Most of us understand that current levels of debt in the US can’t be repaid. So I understand why some say we should have a jubilee. But if there’s to be a default, it shouldn’t affect private debt that has voluntarily contracted. I suggest it should only affect those who owe or are owed by that great predator, the US Government.
Perhaps the US government should overtly default on its debt rather than defaulting on it slowly through inflation. The debt can’t be paid off. It’s just a question of how it should be defaulted on. The honest way is to admit that it can’t pay. This would affect everyone, especially those who are enabling the State or dealing with it. You can also default on it surreptitiously, fraudulently, through inflation, which affects absolutely everyone but shields the real miscreants.
