The Empire Struggles

Everyone is still waiting for a big Russian winter offensive. I realized the Russians could advance a couple hundred miles and we wouldn't know yet. Putin will not want EU or NATO members to discuss intervening, while our CIA and the Ukes always hide disasters.

Russia is grinding forward in the Donbas. Maybe this is Putin's plan to ethnically cleanse the Donbas by forcing all the civilians to leave, and weaken Ukraine by forcing millions more Uke civilians to flee to the EU. The Russians may just slowly grind westward for all of 2023 and force most Ukrainians to flee to the EU to destabilize Europe with millions of unwanted refugees.

I agree with those who say Belarus does not want to get involved in the fighting, but it had allowed Russian troops to transit early in the war, and will do so again. While the Russians focus forces on four or more axis of advance, Belarus can guard its borders to intercept commandos or repel small counterattacks, and even provide artillery support.

A small Russian attack will be made toward Kiev as a feint and to tie up Uke forces, but attempting to take Kiev is mindless. Just surge south across open country and cut the main supply routes from Poland to Kiev and its army is doomed. This will also deter crazy American or Polish intervention. The Russians would capture a billion dollars worth of NATO aid along these roads and rail lines to supply themselves.

Here is a map. https://www.nationsonline.org/maps/Ukraine-Map-L.jpg

The Ukes are aware of this danger, but don’t have the forces to defend the entire Belarus border, and can’t move large reserve units to block attacks with Russian air power ready to pounce. Push south, capture Khmelnytskyi in a month, game over! No need to fight for the big cities. Cut them off and wait for their surrender. Putin has been in Belarus for a few days of meetings. His first visit there in three years. Humm.

At one time I assumed the Russians would push north from Kherson and then west to Moldova to cut off Odessa. It’s open country with few cities in the way. I was surprised when they pulled back in that area. I looked at the road and rail lines and it’s a far longer logistics route with big limitations, making it difficult just to support current forces in the south.

Putin must take all Ukraine, probably after a coup in Kiev after supply lines to Poland are cut. He can’t leave a hostile Ukraine nearby that NATO will rebuild and may conduct endless terror attacks. Make it like Belarus, then Moldova remains a semi-ally for cheap Russian gas, and Russia can supply Balkan nations with its cheap gas at one-fifth the cost of the LNG the Americas and Arabs are selling. Hungary and Austria will give the EU the finger and take this gas as German industry moves south to use this cheap gas to stay competitive. Romania, Bulgaria and even Italy may choose peace with Russia and cheap gas.

Putin may be waiting for more NATO arms to arrive in Ukraine so he can seize more. NATO Generals must realize they can’t secretly ship big Patriot missile systems to Ukraine and set them up without getting hit by the Russians before they are ready to fire. They can’t hide these in shipping containers. The Russians will track them moving through Poland.

The short Ukrainian civil war of 2014 ended with the Minsk peace agreement. Ukraine's two provinces in the east with a majority of ethnic Russians would be granted autonomy and a ceasefire zone was established. But Ukraine never withdrew its forces and continued random shelling of this Donbas region for years as Russia pleaded with Germany and France to enforce the agreement. After eight years of excuses, Russia gave up and invaded these two provinces to end the fighting.

Former German prime minister Angela Merkel recently stated the peace agreement she signed was a hoax. It was used to buy time to greatly expand the Ukrainian army, build fortifications, and provide training and equipment so when the Russians realized they had been fooled and intervened, they would suffer heavy combat losses. Peace was never the goal, it was war, as the great Jimmy Dore explains. You probably didn't read about this in American corporate news.

Everyone is waiting for the likely Russian offensive in Ukraine. The frontlines have moved little for several months as the Ukrainians fortified its cities in the East. Attacking from Belarus to cut supplies lines from Poland seems the best choice. Ukraine lacks the forces to defend that frontier from a major assault. It must have a few brigades in cities in the region ready to deploy, but those would be pounced on by Russian airpower. Recent news suggests this may soon occur.

I tire of hearing people write: "You get the democracy you deserve." On January 6th, concerned Americans gathered to protest in our nation’s capitol. They were mostly peaceful and unarmed. Security was intentionally weak and the FBI had dozens of covert operatives who encouraged them to push their way into Capitol Hill where some engaged in teenage type antics.

Suddenly these protestors were transformed into evil insurrectionists by our media and Congress, who state they were under command of Trump (who wasn’t there and knew none of them). All have been arrested and locked up for years, mostly for trespassing. Now everyone is terrified to speak out or assemble, as is common in a police state. Complainers are told its their fault, and BS like “we get the government we deserve.”

Biden is the perfect leader for the USA, old, feeble, confused. Remember he was running fourth in the primaries and Bernie might win. Then Bernie was labeled a commie Russian agent and blackmailed. The other candidates were bought off and Bernie dropped out.

There is no greater sin in the USA than to question our questionable way of counting votes or to say that voting does not matter. We don’t have a democracy, evidenced by our President and Congress where no one opposes wars, even the “progressives.” No one utters the obvious, big government spending using debt causes inflation. Massive corruption is common, via campaign donations and legal insider trading. And don’t dare hold protests, unless its a stupid corporate cause that few support and accomplishes nothing, like BLM.

Peter Schiff has been warning that crypto "banks" and exchanges are Ponzi schemes for years. They use crypto deposits as collateral to make risky investments to fund their expensive lifestyles. Schiff appeared in several on-line debates where he warned it's a scam and called smug crypto kings con men to their face.

As the current FTX scandal makes news, people are trying to withdraw their crypto from other exchanges. But these shady exchanges need to sell their investments and most lost money, so lots of depositor money is gone since the exchanges purchased no insurance. Schiff explains here how this problem will cascade into a massive scandal in which millions of fools lose their money.

I tired of the constant anti-Russian propaganda in our media so began a video series to place in a playlist: The Anglo-American War on Russia My next part will come out in four weeks and then another six weeks later and other six weeks after that. They can already be watched in the playlist but haven't been officially posted so they are private until then and you can't make comments yet. I'm curious if Youtube will get upset as my videos progress in time and approach the current conflict.

I read a lot about World War II. Someone recommended "The Myth of German Villainy". I googled that to learn more and found many book websites. I chose Amazon, but it linked to a one-star review, while the sidebar showed five star reviews were common. Odd. So I searched in Amazon's website and its seems they have banned the book, leaving just a one-star review on the net for the curious.

Another US Navy pilot appeared on Joe Rogan and provided details on his numerous UFO encounters. The American media ignores this and few in Congress express interest.

Anyone who doubts the FBI and many federal judges have become a criminal organization, read this link. For those unaware, the feds have a database of all safe deposit boxes in the USA and the first thing they do if you are suspected of something is to peruse its contents, and they don't need your key. This was a private safe box company that didn't provide them with info so they took it down and stole everything because only criminals want to hide stuff from the Feds. But I'm sure some customers where just hiding things from their wife, or were friends of the owner, or hate banks, or just lived nearby.

My favorite professor Jeff Sachs tells the truth about who destroyed the Nordstream pipelines and Jimmy Dore covers the reaction.

One of the most openly corrupt things in the USA are taxpayer funded athletic scholarships to foreigners! I don't think states should even give them to non-state residents, but they give them to foreigners! Thousands of them each year. For example, this year the state of Kansas pays for ten foreign women to go to college to play tennis! The entire team! Kansan women who pay to attend that college can't play on the team because women were imported and paid to play! Half of the eight man golf team are foreigners, and only two are Kansans! This is common in every state.

American corporate media has dismissed news that Russia is mobilizing 300,000 reservists to fight in Ukraine. Russia had invaded with just 150,000 troops with some 50,000 Wagner mercs and local Donbass militia. They faced a mobilized Ukrainian army of 1,000,000, although most were new new conscripts with little training or equipment. Massive NATO aid saved them, but new funding is limited.

These 300,000 Russians have been fully trained and units have equipment. They will do a month of refresher training and then move to Ukraine. The war is on hold until then. The only question is if Russia will attack in November or wait until after winter. The Russians should easily succeed. If not, Russia has another 700,000 trained reservists with equipment. As I wrote when this all began, Russia has four times the population of Ukraine and ten times its economic power, plus air and naval superiority. It will take what it wants!

Television pundits act like Europe has nothing to worry about this winter because the natgas storage facilities are almost full. These were built by Russia's Gazprom to deal with pipeline problems due to leaks and turbine breakdowns. The pipelines should all be running during winter when demand is highest. But if a problem develops and a pipeline must be shut down for a couple weeks, gas can be released from storage to meet demand.

The storage system is limited and not designed to provide Europe with gas for several months, just a few weeks. Also note that despite sanctions and the shipping of weaponry to kill Russians in Ukraine, it was Europe that cut off its own gas supplies by refusing to pay for it. Importing liquefied natural gas (LNG) is not the solution. It costs 5-10 times more since it must be condensed by chilling it well below freezing and transporting it aboard expensive ships that keep it cold. And there is little excess LNG available on the world's markets. Natural gas prices are rising for Americans because prices rose as demand for LNG gas rose. The US government could limit LNG exports and cause American energy prices to plummet. There is no solution to Europe's coming winter disaster, except to cut a deal with Russia to end the war in Ukraine.

As I've blogged before, forgiving some interest in student loan debt is reasonable, but not the principle. For many years, those with student loan debt were charged up to 7% for their loans while the Feds provided banks loans at just 1-2% interest. Due to unemployment and missed payments, many people owe more in interest than their original loan. This interest generated billions of dollars in profits for the Feds each year. So recalculate the debt at 1% interest or if that is too complex, credit up to $10,000 in interest paid, but everyone must repay what they borrowed.

CBS News yanked a documentary about Ukraine’s war with Russia after Ukraine complained. They interviewed an aid transporter on the ground there who said only around 30-40% of western military aid reaches Ukraine’s frontline troops. The rest disappears into the most corrupt nation in Europe. The documentary was removed from CBS News and some YouTube channels, but remains at smaller ones for now. It has some good scenes, but is mostly anti-Russian propaganda, as best explained by a YouTube commenter.

The announcer correctly says that Ukraine has been at war with Russia since 2014. However, he fails to mention the events that actually started it. Then-President Yanukovych had just announced a long-term economic deal with Russia (because the EU's terms were too onerous). This assured Ukraine of discounted Russian nat. gas, and Russia of continued access to the Black Sea through its Sevastopol base; and was effectively a guarantor of long-term peace between them. Immediately after this announcement, however, the U.S. State Dep't, with Victoria Nuland in a lead role and in collaboration with the CIA, engineered a neo-Nazi led coup that ousted the democratically-elected Yanukovch, replacing it with a Washington-selected puppet government. That government immediately put ethnic Russian majorities in the Donbass Region and in Crimea, in the crosshairs; and, ultimately, Russia itself through the puppet government's intent to join NATO and put its weapons on Russia's border, minutes from its major population centers. Expansion of NATO onto Russia's western border had been long warned against by former U.S. top diplomats and military and intelligence veteran officers; as well as by Russia- expert scholars and international relations specialists. It was deemed by both Russia and all these experts, an existential threat to Russia.

One has only to consider what would happen, for instance, if Russia instigated a coup in Mexico, and put strategic weapons on the U.S.' Southern border. Well we know exactly what would happen because we saw it during the Cuban Missile Crisis, when the U.S. was prepared to initiate global thermonuclear war. Also, given that the U.S. and Ukraine rebuffed Russia's calls for discussions and negotiations to recognize and address its (legitimate) security concerns, and have now refused to bring a negotiated settlement, it should be quite clear to anyone knowing such history that the U.S. intentionally used Ukraine to provoke a proxy war against Russia, and is prepared to let Ukrainians be sacrificed to the end, to keep the war going.

He also says that "Russia occupied Crimea". This is false. Instead, after the Washington-engineered neo-Nazi coup led to direct hostilities against ethnic Russians (with dozens being burned alive in a Union Hall in Odessa), Crimeans voted overwhelmingly in a referendum to seek annexation by Russia. The Russian parliament assented to this. At the same time, the autonomous states of Donetsk and Lugansk declared their independence. Putin initially declined the Russian Duma's request to recognize their independence; holding out until Ukraine sharply escalated its war against the populations; formally granting official recognition of their independence. While CBS deserves a modest amount of credit for even acknowledging the futility and inadvisability of dumping massive amounts of weaponry that U.S. taxpayers pay for and which may wind up in black markets, etc., they continued in this presentation to spin the Washington narrative of an innocent Ukraine suffering unprovoked attack. And even that tiny credit CBS might have earned was not long deserved, for they sanitized the reports to please the US and Ukraine war mongerers.

Here is yet another long video where an expert explains how the pharmaceutical industry took over mental health care to deem most people mentally ill and in need of their medications.

Here is a great story about a chess playing robot with an arm to move pieces. It was playing a child and as the child moved a piece, it reached over, grabbed his finger and crushed it!

There are hours of TV coverage about the Roe vs Wade abortion ruling that fails to include a key element. The laws in some states that mostly ban abortion are the result of the democratic process, something our Supreme Court says matters. The lack of a Federal law either banning abortion nationwide, or allowing abortion nationwide, is the result of the democratic process. Despite great proclamations by some Senators and Congressmen, there is no real effort to legislate. The Democrats control the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives, yet have made no effort over the years to pass a law allowing abortion in every state. Not every Democrat would support it, but some Republicans would. Who knows? We don't know because they don't even try, and their media does not raise the issue. House leader Pelosi just mentioned interest, but I predict nothing will move forward.

Here is an interesting short video about the famous book "1984" that shows how it's becoming true.

Here is another interesting short video about how most Americans don't care about freedom.

If you want to have fun with history and baffle idiots, tell them Biden’s Juneteenth holiday, that he alone created, is defined as:

This occurred shortly after the Civil war ended when the Union army entered Texas and posted an order freeing slaves in Texas. However, slavery in the USA did not end on that day. Delaware and Kentucky rejected all efforts by their Union to end slavery. As a result, slavery remained perfectly legal in both states for another six months after Juneteenth, until the US secretary of state certified that the 13th Amendment had been ratified by enough states to become law throughout the U.S.

But no one is allowed to discuss Union slave states, aka border states, because this war between the states has been transformed into a war to free the slaves. It is impossible to explain why slave states in the Union sent their militias to free slaves in other states.

I had only one car key left for an older car but read that "smart keys" with a computer chip cost around $200. They are cheaper on-line but you have to mail your key and hope. I saw a sign at Lowe's hardware that they'll do it for $35! They have this big machine in store where a guy made me a new one in 5-minutes!

Bitcoin may become worthless, or Bitcoin banks may become bankrupt. If you own Bitcoin you keep it in a "bank" that allows transfers for free. Sounds great, but how do these loosely regulated "banks" make money. They use their deposits as collateral for loans whose money is used in investments. That is great unless investments lose money, as just happened in the markets. So now these Bitcoin banks don't have the funds to refund their depositors who are dumping Bitcoin, and may go bankrupt.

Most of the discussion about gun control focuses on so-called assault rifles aka semi-automatic rifles. But murder victims are 22 times more likely to be killed with a handgun as with a rifle, but most of the gun control energy in recent years has been paid to rifles.

From FBI crime statistics for the 71% of murder victims of 2014-2018 (sample size 49,808) for which there is a known and specified weapon:

I haven't commented much on this issue since good sources are hard to find. Probably the best daily source is Alexander Mercouris at the Duran.

Finland has enjoyed good relations with Russia since World War II. It makes no sense to provoke Russia by joining NATO. Scott Ritter produced an outstanding video about the situation in Ukraine and the dangers of Finland joining NATO. Finland was an ally of Germany during World War II and allowed German troops and aircraft to attack the Soviet Union from Finland. In the post war peace treaty, Finland agreed to never allow foreign troops on its soil. Finland has a tiny active army and a long border with Russia. This could get interesting.

Americans must rely on China's state network for an unbiased overview of the situation in Ukraine.

I predict Russia will succeed in Ukraine. It has four times the population of Ukraine and ten times the GDP. Most of the Russian army is not in Ukraine, yet!

At first it wanted only Donbass, but with all the resistance and rude responses to diplomacy, it will grind on and take all of eastern AND southern Ukraine to include Odessa. This will add several million more people to Russia, great farmland, half of Ukraine’s oil and gas fields, and the great orchards and resorts along the Black Sea. These areas were only half Russian, but after millions of Ukes flee to western Europe, they will be 80% Russian. Ukraine will become an isolated farmland region with no access to the sea.

Meanwhile, Hungary is about to drop out of NATO, the French are near rebellion, and the German and American economies near collapse.

No one mentions that Putin must go because he stalled the plan for Greater Israel in 2015. Syria was almost finished off and Lebanon would soon follow as planned. Then onto Iran. But Putin intervened and saved Syria! This is when the USA began flooding Ukraine with weaponry and anti-Russian propaganda and declaring Russians in the Donbass terrorists. Biden openly called for regime change in Russia last month. They must get the Russians out of Syria to continue with the Greater Israel plan. None of this is secret, it has been well documented.

As a result, even after Russia crushes the Ukrainian army and occupies half of Ukraine, NATO will not consider peace and vow to fight on until Putin is gone. This will be painful for Europe and a challenge for the USA to keep its NATO puppet members under control. Regime change in Hungary is on the table.

Here is an interesting, long interview with Scott Ritter. He is a retired Marine officer who spent much time in the Soviet Union. Contrary to the "news" we see, he says Russia's plan is brilliant; the attack toward Kiev was a feint. Ritter was banned by Twitter today.

Watch this short, shocking interview about evidence that the USA (or some within) conducted biological warfare attacks on China and Iran and may be planning for one against Russia.

Yet more stupidity from the Biden team that undermines the US dollar. A big mistake was to freeze assets of Russian billionaires around the world and even hunt down their massive yachts. They had nothing to do with Ukraine and weren’t charged with any crimes. So what do the Chinese, Saudi, and Gulf State billionaires think about that? Will that be my fate one day? I need to prepare!

I figured out Putin's plan. He wants to annex all of eastern Ukraine that includes all Ukraine's oil and gas fields. But this region is 50% Ukrainian and millions would be hostile. So his troops are grinding through each city and town, killing anyone who resists and asking civilians if they want to live in the Russian empire or be evacuated to western Ukraine where they can to go western Europe. This takes time, but when he's done eastern Ukraine will be 80% Russian and 20% compliant Ukrainians (or half Russian) while Ukraine and Poland are left with millions of refugees. Meanwhile, Putin doesn't want to win quickly or a ceasefire nor take Kiev.

Few people understand that if NATO attempts to establish a no-fly zone, Russia's anti-aircraft missiles will shoot at NATO fighter aircraft. NATO will need to bomb these sites, even those in Russia. Dozens of NATO planes will get shot down. The US Air Force will insist on attempting to rescue downed pilots, so helicopters will get involved. And of course Russia can fire missiles at NATO airbases from which these aircraft operate. NATO will also want to eliminate the air defense command and control, so headquarters will be attacked, as well as airfields that launch Russian fighters. Perhaps the massive glassy NATO headquarters in Belgium will be attacked, as well as American bases in Germany where thousands of American military children live. A no-fly zone quickly leads to war.

Jimmy Dore continues to provide great coverage of this war. Good to see him reach one million subscribers. Doug Mcgregor is interviewed in this one hour of video where he provides common sense and great insight.

What I find odd is NATO sending billions of dollars in arms to Ukraine. Nearly all its army is cut off and the Russians could blow up any trucks going east from the Polish border. I suspect all these arms are piling up in warehouses in western Ukraine and the Russians leave them untouched. Are they waiting for more arms to be delivered before they race to the west and snatch them?

Note that Russia derailed a central part of Israel's expansion plan when it sent forces to save Syria in 2015. Also note the news today that the CIA sent covert advisors to help the Ukrainians fight the Russians in Donbass that year. These forces killed some 14,000 Russian civilians with random tank and artillery fire since 2014, and was a primary reason for the Russian invasion. Israel controls American foreign policy, so it seems the plan for the past eight years was to force Russia to invade Ukraine so that it could be destroyed economically and give up support for Syria. Then Syria can be destroyed along with Lebanon as I explained in a video last year.

My Youtube channel grows slowly with no serious issues. One of my videos has become popular in recent weeks:

The Myth of Appeasement

Jimmy Dore is one of the few courageous people to tell the truth about Ukraine with this great video. I agree with realist Doug Macgregor. Ukraine has lost as everyone knew it would. Stop trying to send arms and telling them to fight on. Agree to allow the Russian majority region of Eastern Ukraine to join Russia or form a new nation. Agree the eastern half will not join NATO or allow foreign bases or troops in Ukraine. This is best for Ukrainians, Russians, and every nation in the world.

The great Glenn Greenwald explains how western governments now deal with dissent and some political opponents. Citizens are not charged with crimes because they broke no law. No court is involved, yet the government freezes their bank accounts to prevent "terrorism."

Our politicians in Washington are celebrating the Russian invasion. Complaints about inflation, bad roads, crime, and health care can be ignored, because THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING! Now they can spend a lot more on the military and even build more bases in Europe. Critics can be dismissed as Russian agents. The Cold War is back! Our oil industry is thrilled with soaring oil prices and so is our Saudi ally who can afford even more American weaponry.

Putin warned for years that the two decades of NATO advancement must halt, and the two new bases in Poland and Romania capable of launching nuclear cruise missiles must be closed. The American response was to invent excuses to keep Russia's new NordStream pipeline to Germany closed, impose more sanctions, and send more weapons to Ukraine. Ukraine has been a worry for the past decade as the United States attempted to make it a vassal state with disastrous results. All Europeans are glad Russia solved the problem somewhat peacefully, and are angry the USA caused it by refusing to negotiate with Russia and demanding ever more sanctions.

Biden's new sanctions are funny. Russia can't buy American computer equipment so will buy from China. It's a sanction against American companies. Russian banks can't participate in the western system based on the US dollar, so will trade directly with China and Iran or switch to Bitcoin. Ukraine is better off now with good relations with its largest trading partner and a crackdown on its massive political corruption. Few Americans realize that Ukrainians speak and write in Russian, with just some of the old Ukrainian dialect.

Here is a great short article about the two-year COVID hoax that devastated our nation. The comments show the damage many still suffer from the intense propaganda campaign.

Here is another great Jimmy Dore video about shocking events that our corporate media ignores.

I've watched Joe Rogan for years and he's great. Jimmy Dore says people tell him they hate Rogan. He asks why they watch him, and they say they don't. The power of propaganda.

I am shocked how quickly the powers that be ended the COVID pandemic. Was it fear the revolt in Canada might spread? Or is the bad news finally coming out? Read this shocking article about spikes in medical problems in our military after the vax. I can't confirm its accuracy, but the article has links to info.

Plans to deploy the USS Ford overseas this fall have been altered. It was just announced that it will remain under control of the 2nd Fleet (a training command) and cruise only the Atlantic with a smaller air wing for just three months. They hope for a regular deployment in 2024. The Navy's goal is to keep unfixable problems hidden until the other three carriers are complete, lest Congress stop funding them.

The most criminal event occurred in 2019 when it was obvious there were serious problems with the Ford design that may be unfixable. Admirals pressed Congress to fund two more Fords earlier than planned, as though they wanted to get them under construction before Congress and media learned about problems.

And who was in charge of the Navy's Sea System Command during this criminal activity that awarded a massive contract worth billions of dollars to the prime carrier contractor, Huntington Ingalls? Vice Admiral Tom Moore was in charge. Where is he now? A year ago, Huntington Ingalls Industries appointed him as new Vice President of Nuclear Operations for Nuclear and Environmental Services just five months after he retired from the Navy. Which notes: "Moore previously served five years as the program executive officer of aircraft carriers where he led the Navy’s largest acquisition program and served as the life-cycle manager for the Navy’s in-service aircraft carrier fleet."

One big advantage China and Russia have over the US military is that they don't tolerate such corruption. They would lock this guy up. Knowing about all the Ford's problems you'd think he would avoid open kickbacks via this job, but no, he don't care because this is part of our Navy's corrupt culture, also shown by the ongoing Fat Leonard scandal.

After years of delay, it was just revealed that the $14 billion USS Ford and her three sister ships under construction will not be able to reliably launch and recover aircraft, something I warned about four years ago. This was just released from the Pentagon testing office, but not reported on by our major media:

"It also said that during 8,157 takeoffs and recoveries through last year, the carrier’s new electromagnetic catapult system made by General Atomics demonstrated a reliability of 272 launches “between operational mission failure,” or “well below” its required 4,166. Similarly, its system to snag landing aircraft demonstrated a 41-landing reliability rate “well below the requirement of 16,500,” the testing office said."

The full DOT&E report his here. Our Navy is so corrupt, I predict nothing will be done. The Ford will still deploy in September (four years late). It will be limited to a couple launches a day. Admirals will explain this is normal for a new class during its first deployment.

Another great video from Jimmy Dore about the effort to deny treatment for COVID. A few days later, the FDA banned this proven treatment.

Here is a simple and professional video that explains the lies about the Pfizer vaccine. I accept that most people will not watch it because they don't want to know the truth.

In 2002, the United States unilaterally and without consultation with the other party, withdrew from the landmark Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty. President George W. Bush noted that the treaty is “now behind us,” describing the ABM Treaty as a Cold War relic. Signed in 1972, the ABM Treaty barred both the US and the USSR from deploying national defenses against long-range ballistic missiles. The treaty was based on the premise that if either superpower constructed a strategic defense, the other would build up its offensive nuclear forces to offset the defense.

The superpowers would therefore quickly be put on a path toward a never-ending offensive-defensive arms race, as each tried to balance its counterpart’s actions. Until Bush took office, the Treaty was referred to as a “cornerstone of strategic stability” as it facilitated later agreements, reducing U.S. and Russian strategic nuclear arsenals. The US, assuming that a weakened Russia will never again be in a position to counter US hegemonic power, proceeded to encroach on Russia’s borders through the manipulation of international law and mythical NATO objectives.

In 2007, Putin informed the Western world that Russia will develop its defensive weaponry to counter US advances eastward. This was stated in response to the US missile defense system in Romania that was being developed at the time (and previously prohibited in international law.) The USA also began construction of another large missile launch facility in Poland that is nearing completion.

As this blog explained last year, Musk's single lane tunnel under Las Vegas is an insane idea, as this recent article confirms. People realize they can't even get out of their car during an emergency! Didn't the local fire marshal object?

Here is a great interview with Doug Macgregor about our insane foreign policy and how Trump screwed up.

I love this article from Fox. A media star gets COVID despite getting vaccinated and getting boosted and avoiding people. She concludes this can be prevented if everyone gets vaccinated.

"Whoopi Goldberg stunned by testing positive for COVID: ‘I’ve done everything I was supposed to do’ Goldberg stated that her shock came from the fact that she was fully vaccinated, had received the vaccine booster shot and hadn’t gone anywhere other than her house or “done anything.” “But that’s the thing about the omicron, you just don’t know where it is. You don’t know where it is, who’s got it, who’s passing it,” she said. “It’s one of those things where you think I’ve done everything I was supposed to do. Yeah, it doesn’t stop omicron, and that’s the problem with a variant, because it gets stronger and does different stuff to you, so, you know, unless everybody gets vaccinated this is what we’re going to be facing for the next, you know, little while,” Goldberg added."
