scott ritter explains how the ukraine is soon to be available for rent as its inhabitants are leaving; 

According to Scott Ritter about 90% of the non-nuclear power structure has been destroyed in the Ukraine and 5,000,000 to 10,000,000 Ukrainians

are expected to flee to Europe in the next two months.  These statistics raise the question of what is the actual population of the Ukraine.

When Russia collapsed there were said to be 52 million Ukrainians in the new Ukraine.  What is not generally understood is that the Ukraine under Stalin

went from what was largely a state east of the Dnieper which is inhabited by Russians into a much larger Ukraine west of the Dnieper including much of

the former Poland, Rumania, etc. that Russia incorporated into Mother Russia. When Russia fell to pieces under the Rothschild control many parts

were separated guided by their oligarchs including Russia itself as well as the states to the east of Russia such as the stans, etc.  It was one big giant

looting operation that still goes on today. Putin and his sodomitic pal Medvedev are their stooges.........more......

US Opens a Third Front Against Russia

Paul Craig Roberts

The problem with President Putin is that he never finishes anything. He has let Russia’s conflict with Ukraine, which should have ended in three weeks go on for three years and talks about ending it with negotiations, in which he will again be deceived.

He does nothing while the US tries to overthrow the Georgian government and establish a hostile anti-Russian one.

He never finished clearing Syria of hostile forces.  Consequently, he left  Syria and Russian interests exposed to the current US/Israeli coordinated mercenary attack on Syria, which has overrun Aleppo, Syria’s second largest city, forcing 280,000 Syrians to flee. This is a massive defeat for Syria and Russia. How is it possible that such an obvious thrust was a surprise?  Has the inability tp perceive threats become a Russian hallmark?

Will Putin ever understand the consequences of his inaction, his tolerance of endless provocations, of US hegemonic intentions against Russia, Iran, and China?  What factual basis exists for Putin and Lavrov to think that Washington’s hegemonic intention will fade away? Is Russia’s foreign policy based on hope or on reality?.......more.......

 justice, nyc style;

Judge Maxwell Wiley on Friday went along with a bizarre proposal from Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Dafna Yoran to avoid a mistrial by allowing her to drop a manslaughter charge against Daniel Penny to try and secure a conviction on a lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide.

From The Daily Mail, "Daniel Penny manslaughter charge dismissed after jury fails to reach verdict: Live trial updates":

'I'll take a chance and grant the people's application,' Judge Wiley said after the prosecution asked to dismiss the manslaughter charge against Penny because jurors could not agree on a verdict.

The judge added: 'Normally the distinction between the two counts is very clear. The justification adds another element to it which is at play here.'

Jurors would now have to deliberate on the second charge against the veteran - negligent homicide, which has punishment up to four years.

Penny's lawyer had opposed the prosecution motion, saying 'This has never been done before. It would encourage prosecutors to over-charge in the grand jury, with the option of withdrawing if hung, under coercion.'.........more..........

 kunstler friday explores some possible reactions and actions centered in the ongoing 'transition' that is more like a baby sized meeting of rivals in a sporting if not military confrontation with all of the noise in the  background;

"Stare into the sun and begin to glimpse the size of what you're up against." — Mike Benz

The Hunter Biden super-sized blanket pardon went over so well around the country that “Joe Biden” — or the shadowy league of not-quite-geniuses who run the twilight White House operation — floated the idea of issuing preemptive pardons for a few of the most spectacularly dishonest characters in US political life: Dr. Fauci, Senator-elect Adam Schiff, and Liz Cheney. Does “JB” plan on legally adopting them so he can claim he was moved to act out of a father’s love?

Like every official act ever associated with the name “Joe Biden” the preemptive pardon idea has that reality-optional feel. None of the three has been convicted of a crime to be pardoned for, or even been hauled-in for questioning by federal law enforcement agents on a probable cause writ. But a pardon would necessarily paint them as criminals, ipso facto. Would they accept a pardon, with what it implies, or run shrieking from it as from an apple polished with novichok?

The proffer of a pardon itself must amount to a declaration of probable cause, igniting the very legal process it seeks to dispose of. An inquiry would have to be launched to discover what laws these three desperadoes might have broken, followed perhaps by a grand jury to evaluate the evidence, and so on. “Joe Biden” himself might have to answer some basic questions, such as: at what time prior to issuing the pardon did he begin to suspect some laws had been broken? And, since the president’s chief duty is to enforce the law, was “JB” negligent and culpable himself for misprision of felonies?......more........
