naomi wolf tells you things about the powers that shouldn't be that you will want to know and they shouldn't be doing. its the last stages of tyranny. the video is marred by lots of advertising in the beginning so you'll have to ff a bit;
If the power elites didn’t need the consent of the public to rule, they wouldn’t have to lie constantly about their reasons for their wars on everyone. as gore vidal said: i'm not a conspiracy theorist, i'm a conspiracy observer.

this seems to be an obvious thing;
not sure where else to put this...
So, I work for a pharmaceutical distribution company. I also have many (previous) years as a pharmacy tech. When the new covid shots came out and we started seeing celebrities and politicians doing them on TV, my gut instinct was that they were getting placebos. No way they would risk getting a new shot like this on live TV not knowing if they would react to the new tech. As more and more reports of side effects came out, i started thinking to myself that I bet these shots are not consistent by batch, meaning some lot numbers are placebo. Some are the new mRNA tech. Some may be some other experimental vax they've been toying around with. Some many just be flu shots. Either way, certain lots are getting sent to certain areas. And because the shots are technically in their trial phase until 2023, there *has to be at least some placebos mixed in because this is a live trial they are doing on the humans and they have to have some controls (outside of the unvaxed). Anyway back to work.. at my job we have various supervisors coming in to help from other states lately bc we've had 3 quit at my location over the past few months. One of these visiting supervisors works at one of the distribution centers that's contracted to supply the new shots. I asked how that's going. He said it's mostly fine now that things have calmed down a bit, but the most annoying orders always come from the govt, because they only want to order certain lot numbers.
!!!!!!! WHAT?!
Me and one other guy sitting in the breakroom at the time just kinda paused, then looked at each other and I said, 'well that's not good. That means the shots are not consistent batch to batch and they know that.' I left it at that, because this is my job and I didn't want to get too deep into this topic with these people lol. But that supervisor then goes, 'huh...yeah wow I didn't even think about that!'
So. This isn't a case of them avoiding 'bad' batches, cause if that was the case the bad ones would (should) be recalled and pulled. They are likely ordering the placebo lots.
So anyway, regardless of how you feel about the shots you can't tell me that's not super sus. Nobody orders drugs by specific lot number unless they know something.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk lol 🙃........https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/vnr1uo/not_sure_where_else_to_put_this/
Edit: wow, I really did not expect so many responses!! I had to step away for a while and can't reply to them all, but I do appreciate the mostly civil responses and insight I've seen here, so thanks for that! 😊
trust in government is at what might be an all time low;
I know it is rare, but from time to time, mainstream media stumbles on to the truth and, even more rare, dares to publish it. NBC’s Chuck Todd presents a recent poll they did, and it was a shocker – an eye-opener. It shows that the current ongoing January 6th (J6) show trial is just that. The real issue is that people don’t trust government or their politicians – both Democrats and Republicans.
First, Chuck Todd presents a “Trust in Government” historical trend. It has declined from 60% to 20% since 2000. In 2001 (under a Republican administration), Republicans believed in government by 68% and 52% for Democrats. This was relatively even between the parties.
In 2022 (under a Democrat administration), the “Trust in Government” historical trend has collapsed to just 29% for Democrats and a paltry 9% for Republicans. See NBC’s “Trust in Government” historical trend in the chart below..........more........
who does 'our' government work for? not you;
Earlier this month, a bipartisan bill was introduced in Congress that, among other important provisions to combat undue foreign influence in politics, would ban former members of Congress from lobbying on behalf of foreign governments.
New Quincy Institute research finds that this congressional action is long overdue as the revolving door from Congress to lobbying on behalf of foreign interests has been spinning feverishly.
It’s no secret that when members of Congress leave office, they turn to one profession above all others: lobbying. Year in and year out, it’s the same story of former elected officials selling their connections and knowledge of how to make things happen (or not happen) in Washington to high-paying special interests. While this lobbying is often done on behalf of American interests — like big pharmaceutical, banking, or weapons firms — former lawmakers have been lobbying on behalf of foreign interests more and more often in recent years.
We analyzed Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) filings since 2000 and found that at least 90 former members of Congress have registered as foreign agents, representing nearly half (87) of all countries in the world, and the trend has only become more pronounced in recent years. This raises critically important questions for U.S. national interests and highlights the importance of legislation to combat the potential risks of former members of Congress working for foreign interests.........more..........
free speech? free press? things to remember in future days when its all gone;
Governments, corporations, and elites have always been fearful of the power of a free press, because it is capable of exposing their lies, destroying their carefully crafted images, and undermining their authority. In recent years, alternative journalism has been growing and more people are relying on social media platforms as sources of news and information. In response, the corporate state, digital conglomerates, and the mainstream media have been increasingly supportive of the silencing and censoring of alternative media outlets and voices that challenge the official narrative on most issues.
At the recent World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, “Australian eSafety commissioner” Julie Inman Grant stated that “freedom of speech is not the same thing as a free for all,” and that “we are going to need a recalibration of a whole range of human rights that are playing out online—from freedom of speech … to be free from online violence.” Meanwhile, the Canadian government is seeking to restrict independent media and the freedom of expression via the implementation of Bill C-11, which would allow it to regulate all online audiovisual platforms on the internet, including content on Spotify, Tik Tok, YouTube, and podcast clients.
Similarly, the UK is seeking to introduce an Online Safety Bill, the US “paused” the establishment of a Disinformation Governance Board following backlash, and the European Union approved its own Digital Services Act, all of which aim to limit the freedom of speech. Attempts by elites and politicians to silence dissenters and critical thinkers is not something new. In fact, history is full of examples of “the persecution of men of science, the burning of scientific books, and the systematic eradication of the intelligentsia of the subjected people.”1
However, these current efforts to curtail freedom of speech and press by supposedly liberal governments are still somewhat ironic, given that even “the most intolerant of churches, the Roman Catholic Church, even at the canonization of a saint, admits, and listens patiently to, a ‘devil’s advocate.’ The holiest of men, it appears, cannot be admitted to posthumous honors, until all that the devil could say against him is known and weighed.”...........more........
where are my people asks this south carolina politician;
Project Veritas Action has published a recording of U.S. Senate candidate, Krystle Matthews, talking about her desire to break multiple laws while using profanities and racially-charged language.
Krystle Matthews (D-South Carolina) is heard on the audio discussing strategies like orchestrating democrats to run as republicans for elected office: “We need some secret sleepers.”
“We need them to run as the other side, even though they for our side, we need people to run as Republicans in these local elections. This is the only way you’re going to change the dynamics in South Carolina,” she adds.
She then encourages donations to her campaign from people engaging in illegal activity, including straw donations, which are political contributions made to candidates under another name.
“I still got to struggle to raise money for my campaign, where the f*** is my black people with money? I don’t care about no dope money, give me that dope boy money! Where the duffle bag boys? Get you – find me somebody from your family that don’t even know you donating to my campaign and put that s*** under they names.”
In federal elections in the United States, straw donor schemes are illegal under 52 U.S.C. § 30122
Matthews also encouraged other election crimes, such as stealing the signs of opponents. “We need some folks that can wear all black at night and take they f****** yard signs down when they- when they sleeping,” Matthews says.
She also used racially-charged language.
“Honestly, these ain’t the same type of black people that I grew up around. I don’t recognize these black people. So, I black because I don’t understand the type of black that they are. Now, can I talk intelligently? Can I- I could be. Listen, I can move in all kind of circles, but I’m a n**** at heart. I love black people. I feel safest around my people.”......https://www.amren.com/news/2022/06/south-carolina-democrat-state-rep-u-s-senate-candidate-krystle-matthews-uses-racially-charged-language/

Britain’s Military Chief of the General Staff had just taken that position and he has already told the army they need to prepare for war against Russia in Europe.
He has told every soldier to prepare to fight Russia in a potential World War III. He has pledged to forge an Army that can beat Russia in battle and said that we must now prepare “to fight in Europe once again.” He added on his fourth day on the job: “There is now a burning imperative to forge an Army capable of fighting alongside our allies and defeating Russia in battle.”

i'm from the government and i'm here to help is one of the worst things a person can hear;
Karen Federighi was a registered nurse living a simple life and working at a Florida hospital just over six years ago. But Federighi’s life took a dramatic turn when her father died and left her a large sum of money.
One day in January 2016, she heard a knock and found state police at her door. Right there and then, Federighi was informed that she was a “ward of the state.” The ward of the state means a child who, as determined by the state where the child resides, is a foster child or is in the custody of a public child welfare agency.
Even though Federighi lived on her own, had a job and was supporting herself, a jealous family member got a three-person panel to declare that she was mentally incompetent and unable to handle her own affairs. Nobody on that panel even bothered to check if Federighi was employed.
Federighi lost control of all her finances, making it basically impossible for her to travel. Her car, pets and all personal possessions were confiscated. She had to beg the state-appointed guardian to give her money to buy food. Because of this, she tried to escape by fleeing, but the state police chased her down and threw her into an assisted living home.
Someone was able to help her resettle in Los Angeles, but the legal struggle to regain control of her life drained all her money. She basically lost everything........more.........
here is more evidence on the collapse of the empire;
The 9th Summit of the Americas came to an uneventful close on June 10th. Held in Los Angeles, California, the summit from almost all accounts, was not only a diplomatic failure but, as award-winning journalist Roberto Lovato called it,
“a failure of hemispheric proportions and a global embarrassment for the United States and for the Biden Administration.”
In the first case the failure comes from that the Summit producing no concrete or effective plan of action to address the growing problem of persistent poverty within the developing countries; mass immigration as a result of poverty; the ever-increasing dangers of climate change; the lingering pandemic; the pernicious role of U.S. multinationals and the U.S.’s continued interference in the internal affairs of countries in the region.
The other failure comes from the unilateral and hypocritical decision by the United States to exclude Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua because of their allegedly poor human rights records and authoritarian governments.
This is as hypocritical and self-serving as it comes; the United States is in no historical or moral position to criticize, much less ostracize, any country because of perceived human rights abuses, corruption or other governmental misdeeds.
The U.S. has a horrible record in this regard: The enslavement of Africans; lynching; Jim Crow laws; government-sanctioned segregation; surveillance, arrest, and imprisonment of dissidents on false and fabricated charges, are just a few of the atrocities that the United States has carried out and continues against its own citizens. The U.S. meanwhile has a record of supporting mass atrocities across Latin America and regimes that systematically violate human rights.
The other failure of the summit was the exclusion also of an Indigenous peoples delegation, which was denied entry. The U.S. at the same time met with extreme right-wing climate-change denier Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, whose human rights record is in fact much worse than the countries the U.S. excluded from the Summit...........more.........

caitlin has more to say about the empire's ukraine game;
Turkey’s President Erdoğan has officially withdrawn Ankara’s objection to the addition of Finland and Sweden to NATO membership, with the three countries signing a trilateral memorandum at a NATO summit in Madrid.
The removal of Erdoğan’s objection was reportedly obtained via significant natsec concessions from the other two nations largely geared toward facilitating Turkey’s ongoing conflict with regional Kurdish factions, and it removes the final obstacle to Finland and Sweden beginning the process of becoming NATO members. Finland’s addition will more than double the size of NATO’s direct border with Russia, a major national security concern for Moscow.
“Sweden and Finland moved rapidly to apply to NATO in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, reversing decades of security policy and opening the door to the alliance’s ninth expansion since 1949,” Axios reports.
So the western empire will be expanding NATO again in response to a war that was predominantly caused by NATO expansion. Brilliant...........more........
julian assange was doing a better job than his peers and is being persecuted for that, with no notice being given by those 'peers';
It has become easier over the last month for governments to kill or imprison journalists whom they want to silence. But the most sinister aspect of this assault on freedom of speech is that it is facing such limited resistance from the very media that is under attack.
US intelligence agencies concluded in a report declassified by President Joe Biden that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had ordered the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018. Biden began by treating him as a pariah, but is now reversing this policy in the run-up to his visit to Saudi Arabia next month which is aimed at persuading MBS to pump more crude to replace Russian exports and bring down the oil price.
In other words, the murderers of Khashoggi have got what they wanted and shown with grisly brutality that no Saudi dissident journalist is safe, a precedent that will be taken to heart in Turkey, where MBS has been visiting this week. All is now forgiven by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, newly allied to Saudi Arabia, while the trial in absentia of the 26 alleged murderers of Khashoggi had already been transferred from Ankara to Riyadh...........more..........
the most evil government in history is the theme and you can tell us how this ain't so if you think you can;
The final straw that breaks the camels back must surely have been piled on this week. Lithuania has announced that it will close the treaty travel corridor between Belarus and Kaliningrad that has existed between the Russian allied countries to the east and their only Baltic Sea port for the past three decades. It is a move designed to enhance the power of the sanctions imposed by Europe and the West on Russia, following the conflict in Ukraine. This Lithuanian stance is of course advanced by the United States of America, who offer support following entry of Lithuania into the NATO alliance. Even Canada has stationed troops in Lithuania as have Germany and the USA , all part of their role in the proposed deterrence against further Russian military action on the continent of Europe.
Here’s the problem with this idea of added deterrence aimed at Russia. We in the West are the belligerent nations in the current setting. No white hat this time I’m afraid. As a vassal state Lithuania, Canada and the rest of the western alliance are all being led methodically and undeniably toward utter destruction by the most belligerent country in the history of mankind. Who you ask? The United States of America of course. Since the second world war ended in 1945, the US government has admitted to over 70 violent acts against nations and political opponents, coups and invasions, killing millions of innocents in every corner of the earth. Never before in history has a government sowed so much destruction, death and despair in its wake. Citizens of the vassal states of Europe and the Western alliance should take a moment to realize the consequences of hitching their wagon to this beast of death and destruction that is the US government as that evil group drags us toward the end of civilization.
We can read how Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III of National Defence, recently outlined the plan the government of the United States is employing in Ukraine to defeat Russia. This plan calls for the war in that puppet state to continue until Russia is bled dry, until the last Ukrainian is sacrificed on the alter of US governmental ambition to create ‘one world government’ ruled from Washington, controlling the entire Eurasian super continent. It is not about protecting democracy in Ukraine, it is about gaining control of the modern world, and Russia stands in the way of this ambition. Russia believes in national sovereignty, contrasted to an idea of domination by the US government over the whole of mankind. What is the big export product or service offered by the government of the US to the world anyway? It is death and destruction and the drunken madness that is the lust for war. The US government is the largest purveyor of military hardware in the history of mankind. The vassal states are compelled to buy equipment from the US military industrial complex of companies that manufacture stinger missiles, and F35 Lightning advanced jet fighter planes, howitzers, and bioweapons all available from Uncle Sam for a fee............more........
the video rebel is back with more information to improve your awareness of surrounding events;
The prices of chickens and eggs are rapidly increasing because the US government is using PCR tests to justify the killing of tens of millions of chickens, geese, turkeys and ducks. The US government and the men who act as if it they owned it prepared the way for today’s misery starting back in 2009 when Dr Yoshihiro Kawaoka at the University of Wisconsin crossed bird flu with Spanish flu.
Dr Kawaoka then crossed his bird flu-Spanish flu mix with 3 of the most contagious human flus available. He successfully allowed bird flu to go from centering in the bird’s beak to its lungs. Today human beings in the US and China have caught bird flu. He was not arrested for waging germ warfare. He was given more than $20 million as a reward from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Dr Kawaoka is also an expert in Ebola.
Before February 24, 2022, the US had 26 biolabs in the Ukraine near the Russian border. The US had developed a drone which could spread bird flu to migrating birds and to domestic poultry.
Bill Gates is also heavily invested in African Swine flu research. Never know. There might be an outbreak in the US.
Prices are being pushed higher either by design or incompetence at the FDA. The FDA shut down baby formula production because they found bacteria inside the plant that was not in the formula. So today we import baby formula from Europe and Mexico.
There have been more than 95 highly suspicious fires at major food processing centers. This has hurt the supply chain, increased scarcity and raised prices........more........

caitlin has ten thoughts about abortion;
One
It sure is mighty convenient timing for all political and electoral energy in the United States to suddenly get sucked up into a single issue which affects the powerful in no way, shape or form. I wouldn’t have thought it would be possible for everyone’s attention to get diverted away from inflation and the looming likelihood of wage reductions and soaring unemployment or the economic war with Russia that’s making everything worse for everyone while pouring vast fortunes into the proxy war in Ukraine, but by golly, the empire found a way.
Two
Easy access to safe abortions helps prevent women from being trapped in abusive relationships, because childbirth is a great way to keep a woman tied to you and submissive to you. Financial abuse plays a role in virtually all abusive relationships, and if a woman has been made dependent upon an abusive partner to feed her children she’s far more likely to submit to his demands and far less likely to try to leave for fear of being unable to provide for them.
Most women who’ve escaped from a long-term abusive relationship with a man can tell you about the horror of a missed period and how much more terrifying that experience would have been if they hadn’t known that abortion is an option. Being forced to birth an abuser’s child often means being forced into enslavement to him.
The way to prevent this from happening is to ensure women easy access to safe abortions if they want them, and ideally to guarantee mothers financial support so they aren’t dependent on the charitable inclinations of some man who may or may not be a good person.
Three
you don't need a gun because the cops will protect you, but this statement we hear so often from politicians neglects to include items like this one below and that the supremes' have said that cops have no legal requirement to protect individual citizens;
As TFTP reported last month, the Uvalde shooter was able to fire off rounds outside the school building for 12 minutes, unobstructed and unchallenged by law enforcement before he entered the school and murdered children. He then entered the school where he was allowed to remain unhindered for 1 hour and 17 minutes before a tactical unit with Border Patrol showed up, disobeyed the order not to go in, and finally took him out.
Last week, a still shot from a surveillance camera inside Robb Elementary showed that Uvalde cops were well equipped to engage the shooter. At least one of the officers is seen with a bullet proof shield nearly an hour before police would enter the classroom.
As parents were thrown to the ground, tasered, and handcuffed outside the school for trying to save their children, heavily armed officers — with the proper gear to take out a shooter — were inside the school just 19 minutes after the gunman arrived.
They would not enter the classroom for another 58 minutes.
Angeli Gomez was one of these parents who was thrown to the ground and handcuffed, but she persisted nonetheless.
“The police were doing nothing,” said Gomez. “They [the police] were just standing outside the fence. They weren’t going in there or running anywhere.”
Gomez would convince one of the Uvalde police officers to uncuff her and she snuck away.
“As soon as they [police] take me off the cuff I see his arm like, give me a little gateway, because I’m real little so a little gateway where I can just run.”
As heavily armed cops with AR-15s and body armor twiddled their thumbs as a mass shooter murdered children inside the school, Gomez — unarmed and wearing no body armor at all — jumped a fence and rushed into the school..........more..........
things your tv won't tell you about the ukraine scene;
On 24 February 2022, Russia started special military operation in the Ukraine. The main goals of the special operation was the denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine and the liberation of the Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republics.
After the far-right coup sponsored by US in Kyiv back in 2014 which resulted in overthrew of the pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych there was a revolt of the Russian-speaking population in Ukraine. The pro-Russian population of Ukraine makes it clear that they do not accept the coup that took place in Kiev. This resulted in the separation of Crimea as well as a similar desire of the people in other parts of Ukraine.
However, the new government in Kiev, which is under the full control of Washington, immediately declares them terrorists and an ‘’anti-terrorist’’ operation was launched. The result of that ’’anti-terrorist’’ operation is 13,000 to 14,000 killed civilians, destroyed civilian infrastructure and many, many other crimes were committed by the new Ukrainian regime against its own people.
Also, Russia’s “special operation” was a “response to what NATO was doing in Ukraine to prepare this country for a very aggressive posture against the Russian Federation.
The Ukraine was given offensive arms, including the arms which can reach the Russian territory, military bases were being built including on the Sea of Azov and many dozens of military exercises, including many of them on Ukrainian territory were conducted under NATO auspices and most of these exercises were designed against the interests of the Russian Federation.
Since 2014 and the coup in Ukraine Russia has been initiating draft treaties, draft agreements with Ukraine and NATO, with countries of the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe and lately in December last year Russia proposed another initiative to the United States and to NATO to conclude treaties with both of them on security guarantees to all countries in the Euro-Atlantic space without joining any military alliance.
However, every time when Russia initiated these steps, they were basically rejected with more or less polite behavior. In 2009, Moscow proposed the European Security Treaty which NATO refused to consider and the treaty actually was about codifying something to which all OSCE countries subscribed at the top level.........more.........

it seems that false flag ops aren't just something the empire does;
Call me a “conspiracy theorist” but you have to ask what Putin would gain militarily from striking a packed shopping centre at peak shopping hours?
The answer, of course is absolutely nothing.
Rather he would incur a lot criticism and condemnation and rightly so. IF indeed Russia was responsible?
Given that Russia would gain nothing strategically from such a strike you have to wonder if the Ukrainians haven’t learned a little from their Western allies on the advantages of a false flag? After all, the UK/US are masters at the art, as witness 9/11 and 7/7.
Not only the timing and the target raise questions but the fact that the strike very conveniently occurred just as G7 leaders were meeting in Bavaria. Moreover, the Ukrainians are also in possession of cruise missiles, such as the Neptune cruise missile that sank the Russian Black Sea flag ship Moskva.
I don’t know enough to pronounce definitively right now but the possibility that this was a false flag shouldn’t be ruled out. Ed.

FBI Raids Home of Retired Texas Couple Who Attended Jan. 6 Capitol Rally
Paul Craig Roberts
A Totally Politicized and Discredited FBI Serving as Gestapo Henchman for the Democrats Has American Patriots Targeted. Under the current rules if you are not an immoral, sexually depraved, warmonger Democrat who hates white people and Russians, you are not an American patriot. All other Americans are “racist, white supremacists, transphobic, Trump deplorables.” Only Democrats who hate America and white people are patriots.
A retired Texas couple reported that FBI agents busted through the gate of their rural home, threw flashbangs, handcuffed them, and trained lasers on them before searching their home for evidence connected to the falsely alleged Jan. 6 breach of the Capitol. https://www.theepochtimes.com/fbi-raids-home-of-retired-texas-couple-who-attended-jan-6-capitol-rally_4557650.html?utm_source=Goodevening&utm_campaign=gv-2022-06-25&utm_medium=email&est=sErKJ2CPrtTYaCDooydc0BaBCzB8OtieOH9L8IkOlLX32h%2FYe%2Be88Q%3D%3D
This is an outrageous way to treat American citizens. All that was required was a knock on the door, a presentation of credentials, and a request to speak with the couple. The behavior of the agents involved in the totally gratuitous assault on an American household is inexplicable. Is there to be no difference in the behavior of 2022 American FBI and 1930s behavior of the Gestapo? When FBI agents can behave as Gestapo, how is America a free country? How is the DOJ a “Justice Department” when the FBI can behave without accountability as a Gestapo?........more......
kunstler has a few things to say and they sound spot on to me;
We have not been so ripe for regime change since 1776. A ruling Party of Chaos is doing absolutely everything to disorder our lives and there really is no generous interpretation for its motives
Let’s face it: most people will not read Justice Alito’s carefully crafted arguments about what the constitution says or doesn’t say about abortion, or the meaning of “ordered liberty” through our history. We do not live in history. We live in the time of our time. And, until just recently, this has been a time that discarded former modes of conduct between men, women, and children as inconvenient to the presumably greater project of self-actualization.
To be-all-that-you-can-be is a stirring notion, and it seemed to work nicely within the colossal techno-industrial armature of the past century, with all its inducements to thrive personally, at least for the comfortable elites who pulled the levers of that system — though not so much for those below caught in the gears, who produced children despite all the novel means for avoiding it. For the fortunate, motherhood became just another “no” box to check off, while fatherhood merged into the odious mists of obsolete patriarchy. History is made up of things that seem like good ideas at the time. The hard part now is moving out of a familiar time into the undiscovered country of a new time.
The support system for all that is going, going, gone and in the ensuing flux all that rousing self-actualization starts to look more like Thomas Hobbes’s war of all against all, a savage and pre-human state of nature. As this occurs, all human beings have to fall back on are modes of conduct that include a moral and ethical dimension, which is to say, what is right and what is wrong, not just what is allowed at a given moment.
Which is also to say: maybe the time of smashing boundaries is over. As that scaffold of techno-industrial comfort and safety disintegrates, and all the dazzling promises of becoming transhuman dissolve — sorry, Klaus Schwab — we will likely have to settle for being human again, and in the best way, not the worst way. That includes a certain reverence for our nature and for each other. That suggests not killing children.
These days, this place on the planet that used to be a nation groans under a tribulation of bad ideas, bad choices, bad conduct, bad management, and bad faith. We have not been so ripe for regime change since 1776. A ruling Party of Chaos is doing absolutely everything to disorder our lives and there really is no generous interpretation for its motives. Everything it touches breaks, wilts, withers, splinters, rots, poisons, and infects the body politic, driving it deeper into derangement. It doesn’t even pretend to make sense because that would require making distinctions between what is true and what’s not true. We follow-the-science into pure evil..........more.........

caitlin has some new information on the ukraine game;
The New York Times reports that Ukraine is crawling with special forces and spies from the US and its allies, which would seem to contradict earlier reports that the US intelligence cartel is having trouble getting intel about what’s happening on the ground in Ukraine.
This would also, obviously, put the final nail in the coffin of the claim that this is not a US proxy war.
In an article titled “Commando Network Coordinates Flow of Weapons in Ukraine, Officials Say,” anonymous western officials inform us of the following through their stenographers at The New York Times:
As Russian troops press ahead with a grinding campaign to seize eastern Ukraine, the nation’s ability to resist the onslaught depends more than ever on help from the United States and its allies — including a stealthy network of commandos and spies rushing to provide weapons, intelligence and training, according to U.S. and European officials.
Much of this work happens outside Ukraine, at bases in Germany, France and Britain, for example. But even as the Biden administration has declared it will not deploy American troops to Ukraine, some C.I.A. personnel have continued to operate in the country secretly, mostly in the capital, Kyiv, directing much of the massive amounts of intelligence the United States is sharing with Ukrainian forces, according to current and former officials.
At the same time, a few dozen commandos from other NATO countries, including Britain, France, Canada and Lithuania, also have been working inside Ukraine...........more..........
