Steve Bannon: We Don’t Need Another National Election – It’s Called a Contingent Election and We Win 26 to 24!(VIDEO)

Tuesday on The War Room, Steve Bannon explained how Republicans put the rightful winner of the 2020 election into office.

Steve Bannon: Democrats have to run… on climate change, abortion, and threats to democracy. You do understand that Democrats can’t win unless they steal elections? I understand that gets under their skin but that’s reality.

Rudy Giuliani: I don’t think anyone better than you or I understand that, Steve. We lived it, right?

Steve Bannon: Big league… By the way, we’re still in a couple of foxholes. And we’re never giving up… Trump put up last night that hey, because of the Hunter situation, because of the FBI guy either getting fired or quitting, because of Facebook saying the FBI told them not to do it, that he won and he wants another election immediately. I keep saying the Biden electors can’t get certified… We don’t need another national election, it’s called a – contingent election. It gets flipped. You’re not going to flip the Biden electors to Trump electors. You’re going to be not able to certify the Biden electors. And by not certifying the Biden electors, the Electoral Count Act of 1887 and our beloved Constitution have a way that it’s supposed to happen. That is a contingent election the House of Representatives where you vote by state delegation. And guess what? Even with Liz Cheney voting Wyoming for the Democrats I think we still win 26-24.

So no national election is necessary. The state delegates vote and Trump wins 26 to 24 — even with crazy Liz Cheney voting with Democrats.

This will make a few liberal heads explode.

Let’s pray this takes place before Joe Biden and Democrats destroy the country.

Camilo Guevara, son of Che, dies

The eldest son of revolutionary leader Che Guevara, Camilo, died from a stroke on a trip to Venezuela.

Born in the early 1960s, he passionately lived his life to preserve Che's legacy and ensure that his father's timeless words, as well as actions, are remembered worldwide.

When one looks at him or listens to his words, it becomes clear that Camilo Guevara has always unmistakably been his father's son. His look hints at how Che's well-known features would have matured hadn't he been killed in Bolivia at the young age of 40, during the height of his anti-imperialist efforts.

Despite not having any official title, the vocal activist reiterated that any talks between Washington and Havana can only succeed if the US respects Cuban sovereignty, and take out the remaining obstacles that D.C. itself planted, most notably the economic embargo - the longest in human history -and the US navy occupation of Guantánamo Bay.

Who is Che Guevara?

Ernesto Guevara de la Serna, better known as Che Guevara, was born in Rosario Argentina on June 14,1928.

He has earned his nickname from his frequent use of the expression—Che an interjection commonly used in Argentina.

The iconic leader was a theoretician and tactician of guerrilla warfare, a prominent communist figure in the Cuban Revolution, and a guerrilla leader in South America.

Che roamed the world and helped multiple revolutions across Africa and the Arab world with his guerilla tactics and views.

He also became known for being a staunch fighter against neocolonialism and imperialism.

It is worth noting that the Cuban revolutionary leader supported the Palestinian cause. Guevara's historic visit to Palestinian Gaza in 1959 continues to stand as a token of resilience for liberation and resistance movements in Palestine and the world.

He was executed by the Bolivian army in 1967.

On this occasion, it goes without saying that Che's resistance, integrity, and solidarity are what we are in need of to liberate the oppressed nations, such as Palestine, Yemen, and any country in the world from Western imperialism, colonialism, and military occupation.

Aleida Guevara: "We Must Fight Alongside the Palestinians”

“My father would have always stood on the side of oppressed nations,” said Elaida Guevara, daughter of famed revolutionary Che Guevara on the 54th anniversary of his assassination.

In an interview with Al Mayadeen, Aleida revealed her belief that had her father remained alive, things would have been different in Bolivia and Argentina, as he most assuredly would not have surrendered due to his belief in “fight for the oppressed or die fighting.”

Che’s visit to the Middle East was also recalled, with Aleida describing his conscious realization of the boiling nature of the region due to colonization, the harsh circumstances surrounding its populations, and the endless pressures performed by major powers trying to steal its resources, “notably its oil.”

Linking the current divisions of the Arab world with the Marxist revolutionary’s experience in Cuba, she stressed the importance of “people’s unification”, notably as the sectarian rifts sowed by European colonial powers are dangerously threatening the Arab World’s unity and ability to progress.

Single Point of Failure

Richard Fernandezpart 1 of 3=

Ashley Rindsberg convincingly traces Anthony Fauci’s response to the Covid 19 pandemic to the biodefense institutions created by George W. Bush and Dick Cheney following the 9/11 attacks. “To understand the rise of Fauci, and his legacy as he retires this year, we must return to the first months of the 2000s

… Bush’s interest in biodefence and pandemic preparedness is frequently traced back to a 2004 book, The Great Influenza. The reality, however, is that the administration came to power with biological weapons and infectious disease very much top of mind … But if biodefence wasn’t already a priority for the Bush White House, that swiftly changed a week to the day after the 9/11 attacks, a mere eight months into Bush’s first term, when the United States suffered the most serious biological weapons attack in its history,” the 2001 anthrax attacks.

Soon after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, letters laced with anthrax began appearing in the U.S. mail. Five Americans were killed and 17 were sickened in what became the worst biological attacks in U.S. history. The ensuing investigation by the FBI and its partners—code-named “Amerithrax”—has been one of the largest and most complex in the history of law enforcement.

To this day doubts linger as to the identity of the perpetrator, but as Rindsberg notes there was no doubt in the minds of either Bush or Cheney that America’s biodefenses had to be bolstered and that Fauci was the man to lead the effort. “By 2003, the Bush administration was requesting $2 billion in annual budget for biodefence — a sum that, as the Los Angeles Times noted, exceeded the combined research budgets for breast cancer, lung cancer, stroke and tuberculosis. That year, Bush announced in his State of the Union address that he would propose a further $6 billion for the development and stockpiling of vaccines over the subsequent decade, in addition to baseline biodefence funding.The money was essential, but transforming a core element of America’s national strategic defence was as much about restructuring the governmental and human aspects of biodefence as it was funding them. In the case of research-based bioweapons preparedness, Cheney’s masterstroke was to remove the fragmented biodefence research programmes from various departments, institutes and centres, and place them under the aegis of a single institute: the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), led then, as now, by Anthony Fauci.”

But unlike Cold War nuclear warfare, whose doctrine of deterrence was well known even to the point of Hollywood fictionalization and whose institutions, notably the Strategic Air Command, were the subject of elaborate safeguards, the Fauci biodefense apparatus operated under the shroud of public health. “As far as NIAID (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) was concerned, there was no meaningful administrative distinction between biodefence and scientific research. With the stroke of Cheney’s pen, all United States biodefence efforts, classified or unclassified, were placed under the aegis of Anthony Fauci. So important was this new command structure that a representative from the office of Scooter Libby, Cheney’s powerful chief of staff, was physically placed in NIAID headquarters in Washington.”

US weapon supplies 'uncomfortably low' due to Ukraine aid - WSJ

The war in Ukraine has reduced US military inventories of certain types of ammunition, as the US continues to supply Kiev with billions of dollars worth of weaponry, according to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ). In turn, the US Department of Defense has been hesitant to replenish its arsenal, raising fears among US officials that the shortfall might undermine military readiness.

According to the WSJ, citing defense sources, the US has armed Ukraine with 16 HIMARS rocket launchers, hundreds of drones, missiles, and other weapons during the previous six months, a large portion of which, including the ammunition, has come directly from US inventories, depleting supplies intended for unforeseen threats.

Howitzers, of which Kiev received 806,000 rounds of ammunition, can accurately strike targets dozens of kilometers away with 155mm ammunition weighing nearly 100 pounds each, are among the deadliest weapons the Pentagon has delivered, said the WSJ.

At that time, the newspaper reported citing a US defense official, the quantity of 155mm combat ammunition in US military storage has dropped to "uncomfortably low" levels in recent weeks. The official added that the US has not been involved in significant military confrontation, as such the levels are not currently critical, noting that "It is not at the point where we would wish to engage in battle."

Last week, the US occupation in Syria launched a howitzer attack targeting Syrian territory and residents in violation of its sovereignty. This shows that the US does use such weaponry in its ongoing confrontations.

The US army claimed that in order to help Ukraine while safeguarding "our own supply needs," the military is now undertaking "an ammunitions industrial base deep dive." The Army said it also requested $500 million in annual upgrades for its munitions factories from Capitol Hill. According to military officials, as per the WSJ report, the military is relying on existing contracts to enhance ammunition output but hasn't signed new ones to cover the greater sums it will need to replace its inventories.

Citing US military sources, the WSJ revealed that Army Gen. Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has been reviewing the military arsenal on a monthly basis to see if the readiness levels are still suitable given the demand for ammunition in Ukraine. According to the authorities, the US last week sent Ukraine 105mm howitzer ammunition as a result of worries over its stockpiles of 155mm ammunition.

This week, Washington stated that it was allocating over $3 billion for long-term aid meant to be sent to Ukraine, increasing the country's total expenditure on weapons to $14 billion knowing that, according to the WSJ report, US President Joe Biden has requested a $773 billion Pentagon budget for the following year.

With this background in mind, it is easier to understand how Fauci’s destructive reaction to the Covid pandemic could have occurred. In order to successfully forestall the full impact of a devastating pandemic, Fauci would be incentivized to act before the pathogen could completely develop, in a kind of Launch on Warning, a scenario Cold War historians will recognize. “Under the strategy, a retaliatory strike is launched upon warning of enemy nuclear attack while its missiles are still in the air and before detonation occurs.” In the pandemic context, the authorities (meaning Fauci) had to unleash countermeasures costing trillions of dollars and untold excess mortality from disruption, to prevent in what was in their estimation a greater evil. Now the great weakness of the Launch on Warning strategy was the danger it might trigger a disproportionate response. History tells us this actually almost happened. “Eight minutes after warning screens showed 1,400 Soviet ICBMs spproaching North America, on 9 November 1979, NORAD concluded ‘attack was underway'”.

During the 2008 campaign, presidential hopefuls Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama debated the question: who was best suited to be suddenly awakened at 3 a.m. in the White House to make a tough call in a crisis. … According to the account of former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, the call went to the national security advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was awakened in the very early morning hours to be told that hundreds of missiles were heading toward North America. Just before Brzezinski was about to call President Carter, the missile attack warning turned out to be a false alarm. It was one of those moments in Cold War history when top U.S. officials believed they were facing the ultimate decision.

In the Covid case, Anthony Fauci picked up the phone when the threat was inbound and no one dared question his judgment. “Fauci now had a virtual carte blanche to not merely approve but design and run the kind of research projects he sought — and could do so with no oversight structure above him,” is the way Rindsberg puts it. And he may have overreacted, events now suggested.

When challenged Fauci invoked the science.“It’s very dangerous, Chuck, because a lot of what you’re seeing as attacks on me quite frankly are attacks on science, because all of the things that I have spoken about consistently from the very beginning, have been fundamentally based on science,” Fauci told host Chuck Todd on MSNBC. Even when the Covid threat board was updated and the scientists signing the Great Barrington Declaration called for a more limited and targeted response, official science abetted by a compliant media would not be moved.

Part 3 of 3

The Great Barrington Declaration – As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies, and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection.

Coming from both the left and right, and around the world, we have devoted our careers to protecting people. Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health. The results (to name a few) include lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health – leading to greater excess mortality in years to come, with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden. Keeping students out of school is a grave injustice.

Keeping these measures in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.

Fortunately, our understanding of the virus is growing. We know that vulnerability to death from COVID-19 is more than a thousand-fold higher in the old and infirm than the young. Indeed, for children, COVID-19 is less dangerous than many other harms, including influenza.

As immunity builds in the population, the risk of infection to all – including the vulnerable – falls. We know that all populations will eventually reach herd immunity – i.e. the point at which the rate of new infections is stable – and that this can be assisted by (but is not dependent upon) a vaccine. Our goal should therefore be to minimize mortality and social harm until we reach herd immunity.

As the WSJ put it. “In public, Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins urge Americans to ‘follow the science.’ In private, the two sainted public-health officials schemed to quash dissenting views from top scientists. That’s the troubling but fair conclusion from emails obtained recently via the Freedom of Information Act by the American Institute for Economic Research. The tale unfolded in October 2020 after the launch of the Great Barrington Declaration, a statement by Harvard’s Martin Kulldorff, Oxford’s Sunetra Gupta and Stanford’s Jay Bhattacharya against blanket pandemic lockdowns. They favored a policy of what they called ‘focused protection’ of high-risk populations such as the elderly or those with medical conditions. Thousands of scientists signed the declaration—if they were able to learn about it.”

But was too late. Fauci’s overwhelming response was en route.

Trump's unique offer: Declare him president or redo the 2020 elections

Former US President Donald Trump called on Monday for himself to be announced the “rightful winner” of the 2020 presidential election, or if not, for the votes to be recounted again. Trump’s tantrum came after Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg claimed that he limited the spread of a story damaging to Joe Biden’s campaign on the advice of the FBI.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote "So now it comes out, conclusively, that the FBI buried the Hunter Biden laptop story before the election," adding that the agency did so deliberately “if they didn’t, ‘Trump would have easily won the 2020 Presidential Election’.”

“This is massive fraud and election interference at a level never seen before in our country,” Trump continued, stating that as a “remedy,” he should be declared the “rightful winner,” or that the government in this case should “declare the 2020 election irreparably compromised and have a new election, immediately!”

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg told podcast host Joe Rogan last week that Facebook strived to limit the reach of a New York Post story concerning Hunter Biden’s laptop in the lead-up to the 2020 election. Since having been independently verified as genuine, the laptop contained details of Joe Biden’s son’s drug use, activities with prostitutes, and foreign business transactions - some of which stood to benefit his father.

The FBI “came to us”, Zuckerberg noted, and warned that “there’s about to be some kind of dump” of “Russian propaganda.” The Biden campaign also falsely indicated that the laptop’s contents as “Russian propaganda” at the time, but not much could be done, regardless of Trump's objections, as he already pointed fingers at Biden for winning by fraud and referring to ballot harvesting (the practice of groups collecting and turning in individual voters’ completed election ballots, which sometimes implies voter fraud).

Trump also accused Biden of alleged abuse of mail-in voting, and claims of late-night pauses in counting followed by “dumps” of ballots for Biden at voting locations in key swing states. Trump filed multiple lawsuits opposing his loss, but none were successful as of the few that courts agreed to hear.

However, Facebook was not the sole platform limiting the spread of Hunter's laptop story, since Twitter banned any mention of the New York Post article and temporarily suspended it from its platform, while other media outlets, who now acknowledge that the laptop controversy was real, refused to cover the story.

In a statement released following Zuckerberg’s interview, the FBI disclosed that it "routinely notifies US private sector entities, including social media providers, of potential threat information, so that they can decide how to better defend against threats." But the agency noted that it “cannot ask, or direct, companies to take action.” and did not clarify why it classified the contents of the laptop as a “threat.”

Zuckerberg's revelation comes amid the FBI investigation into Trump's Mar-a-Lago home for his mishandling and hiding of top-secret documents. US Senator Lindsey Graham warned on Sunday of "riots in the streets" if the former president faces charges over this case, making the volatile prediction during an interview with Fox News' Sunday Night in America's host and former congressman Trey Gowdy, stressing, “If there’s a prosecution of Donald Trump for mishandling classified information, after the Clinton debacle… there’ll be riots in the streets.”

Later that evening, Trump shared a clip of the interview on Truth Social.

Ukrainian shelling on Zaporozhye tore through fuel storage building

The Ukrainian troops, upon shelling the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, tore through the roof of the special building where the fuel for the nuclear reactor is stored, breaking it as a result of the aggression, according to Vladimir Rogov, a member of the main council of the Zaporozhye region military-civil administration.

"The roof of the special building No. 1 of the Zaporizhzhia NPP has been broken as a result of a strike by [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy's militants. Fresh fuel for the ZNPP reactors is stored in this building," Rogov wrote.

The physical damages sustained on the facilities will be assessed by the IAEA mission upon arrival, where they will also determine the operability of the main and backup security and safety systems, according to the organization's statement.

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said on Monday that the IAEA mission is already heading to the ZNPP and will be arriving on site this week.

"Once reaching Zaporizhzhya later this week, ISAMZ will assess the physical damage to the facilities, determine the functionality of the main and backup safety and security systems, and evaluate the working conditions of the control room staff. At the same time, the mission will undertake urgent safeguards activities to verify that nuclear material is used only for peaceful purposes," the statement says.

Washington, on its part, believes that a controlled shutdown of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant (ZNPP) reactors will be the most secure option in the short term, according to White House National Security Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby.

"We continue to believe that a controlled shutdown of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear reactors would be the safest and least risky option in the near term," Kirby said.

On Monday, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said that a group of IAEA experts headed by Grossi are going on a mission to ZNPP, arriving later in Kiev in the day.

Beloved Wisconsin morning news anchor mourned after her sudden death aged 27

Bevan Hurley - 1 h ago

A “beloved” morning anchor with Wisconsin’s ABC affiliate WAOW News 9 has died of a suspect suicide, her family say.

Neena Pacholke, 27, passed away suddenly on Saturday, her sister Kaitlynn Pacholke told the Tampa Bay Times.

“Sometimes you just don’t know what people are going through, no matter how much you think you know someone,” Kaitlynn told the news site.

“My sister had access to every resource you could imagine. She was loved by everybody. She was so good at her job.”

Neena Pacholke grew up in Tampa and was a star basketball player for the University of South Florida before moving to Wausau, Wisconsin, to work in broadcasting in 2017.

She was engaged to be married, and had become a Green Bay Packers fan and keen snow skier since moving to Wisconsin, her sister told The Tampa Bay Times.

“My sister was by far the happiest person I thought I knew.”

In a statement, WAOW said: “The entire team here at News 9 are absolutely devastated by the loss as we know so many others are as well.

“Neena loved this community and the people who lived here. She was a kind person with a big heart and a contagious smile and we will miss her greatly.”

In her final post to Twitter on 18 August, Ms Pacholke retweeted from self-help author Jon Gordon about remaining positive when life became difficult.

“We are not positive because life is easy. We are positive because life can be hard. Give yourself (and others) grace. Speak life and encourage others. Look for the good today. Remember your WHY. Believe the best is yet to come.”

Egypt rations power to increase foreign reserves

Egypt has been plunged into darkness due to the crisis caused by the Ukraine war, as the government is trying to set aside some energy for export and boost its reserves of hard currency.

Egypt, the world's biggest wheat importer, was heavily reliant on Russia and Ukraine for its supplies of grain, taking in 80% of its imports from the two countries, which meant that the Ukraine war and the imposition of sanctions on Moscow took their toll on the Arab state.

In the wake of the war, Egypt went to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a loan. It took on the path of pumping more natural gas abroad to bolster its hard currency reserves, which drew a lot of criticism against Cairo.

The Ukraine war also affected the country's lucrative tourism sector, restricting holidaymakers to the country suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic and still trying to recover from the 2011 political crisis.

Economic growth slowed to 3.2% in the fourth quarter of 2021-2022 against 7.7% last year, although the annual expansion was 6.6%.

The Egyptian economy has taken a huge hit, with inflation reaching 14.6% in July, which prompted a hike in the price of imports and slashed forex reserves by $7.8 billion since February to $33.1 billion in July.

Egypt is currently holding talks for an IMF loan to help mitigate the fallout from the Ukraine war on the country, where 30% of its population of 103 million lives in poverty.

Biden said in July that Washington will be providing $1 billion in assistance to ease the food security situation in the Middle East, with $50 million provided to Egypt in particular.

Egypt has contracted 180,000 tonnes of wheat from India, which will be delivered in the near future, Egyptian Minister of Supply and Internal Trade Ali Moselhi said in late June.

On May 14, India imposed a ban on wheat exports to ensure the country’s food security. Consequently, the price of wheat in Europe soared to a record $455 per ton.

Less than three months into the war, Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said the Egyptian economy suffered $7 billion in direct losses due to the Ukraine crisis.

The Egyptian government has adopted some measures to reduce the negative impact of global events on the economy. The measures include strengthening the private sector and localization of industry while boosting the Egyptian stock exchange.

Yes, trans surgeries are being done on minors. Here's proof.

Speak to anyone who has endured an abusive relationship and they'll tell you that one of the worst forms of psychological manipulation that narcissistic abusers employ is gaslighting, wherein the abuser makes the abused party think they’re crazy. The corporate media has mastered this tactic with so-called “gender-affirming care,” refining it to a T.

Legacy press outlets have insisted, in lockstep with a seemingly predetermined narrative, that “gender-affirming surgeries” are most assuredly not being performed on minors or they are minimizing them if they are. They tell their audiences that those scrutinizing policies and practices at children’s hospitals nationwide are delusional right-wing lunatics threatening the hospital staff.

But are minors being irreversibly maimed nowadays, as those dastardly right-wingers claim?

Yes, but don’t take my word for it. What follows is a sample of original source material showing doctors involved in these operations in recent years; these are gender clinicians speaking and writing in their own words in prominent peer-reviewed journals.

In December 2018, the medical journal TheLancet (Diabetes & Endocrinology) published an article titled, “Gender-affirming hormones and surgery in transgender children and adolescents,” which amalgamated “findings on mental health outcomes, cognitive and physical effects, side-effects, and safety variables” on cross-sex hormones and surgical interventions in youth. These measures in females, the article's summary states, “are associated with improvements in mental health and quality of life.” The journal does admit that vaginoplasty surgeries are “extremely scarce” for under-18 individuals. But even if they are rare, what explains the media’s hurried rush to assure us that they are not happening? Isn’t one maimed minor, one too many?

Proud Boy Infuriates Regime By Still Insisting Election Was Stolen — Sentenced to 4.5 Years in Prison for Smashing a Sign on Jan. 6… And Resisting Narrative

DC bartender Joshua Pruitt was sentenced on Monday to 55 months in prison.

You can read more about his case at American Gulag.

Pruitt entered the US Capitol on January 6th and joined a mob that smashed a sign.

Worse than that, Joshua Pruitt STILL believes the election was stolen.

His attorney tried desperately to convince him it was legit but Joshua refuses to let go of his belief that the 2020 election was illegitimate.

Now he will serve 45 months in prison for his crimes.

Resisting the narrative will not be tolerated.

At one time this meme was a joke…

NBC News reported:

A former Washington, D.C., bartender and Proud Boy who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 was sentenced to 55 months in federal prison on Monday.

Joshua Pruitt, 40, pleaded guilty in June to obstruction of an official proceeding after he was caught on video joining a mob pursuing police officers and smashing a sign inside the U.S. Capitol. Two U.S. Capitol Police officers wrote victim impact statements urging U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly to give Pruitt a severe sentence.

Ultimately, Kelly imposed a sentence that fell a few months short of the five years prosecutors had requested.

Pruitt said that he apologized for his actions and that he was “not happy that Jan. 6 happened at all,” but he said he still held onto his beliefs that Donald Trump actually won the election, which he lost to President Joe Biden.“I did believe the election was stolen. I still do,” Pruitt said, speaking from a lectern farther away from the judge than usual, which was set up for defendants who aren’t vaccinated against Covid.

“I broke the law, bottom line, regardless of whether I’m right or wrong on my feelings,” Pruitt said.

Robert Lee Jenkins Jr., a court-appointed attorney for Pruitt, said outside the courtroom that there was no convincing Pruitt otherwise.

“We’ve had many conversations about it, and Mr. Pruitt is firm in his belief,” Jenkins said in response to a question from NBC News. Jenkins said Pruitt’s family was “extremely dismayed” that Pruitt had gotten himself involved in the riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

Moscow: Kiev offensive in Kherson failed

Russia's military repelled an offensive launched by the Ukrainian armed forces in Mykolaiv and Kherson, which they carried out at the behest of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Monday, adding that the Ukrainian units suffered major losses.

"Today, during the day, on the direct orders of Zelenskyy, Ukrainian troops attempted an offensive in Mykolaiv and Kherson regions in three directions," Moscow said.

"As a result of the active defense of the grouping of Russian troops, units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces suffered heavy losses," the ministry added. "Another attempt at offensive actions by the enemy failed miserably."

The Ukrainian armed forces lost more than 560 troops, 26 tanks, and two attack aircraft during the attempted offensive, the Russian ministry revealed.

Ukrainian forces have launched a counter-attack to retake the southern region of Kherson, which is currently under the control of Russian troops, a local government official said on Monday.

"Ukrainian armed forces have launched their offensive in several areas in the south," the head of the regional administration, Yaroslav Yanushevych, said on Telegram.

"Today there was a powerful artillery attack on enemy positions in … the entire territory of the occupied Kherson region," Sergey Khlan, a local deputy and adviser to the regional governor told Ukraine's Pryamyi TV channel.

"This is the announcement of what we have been waiting for since the spring - it is the beginning of the end of the occupation of the Kherson region."

"What is happening now is a prepared, well-balanced start of a counteroffensive," Khlan told AFP.

"Today there was a powerful artillery attack on enemy positions in … the entire territory of the occupied Kherson region," Sergey Khlan, a local deputy and adviser to the regional governor told Ukraine's Pryamyi TV channel.

The region has been undergoing heavy battles for the past month, with Moscow reporting earlier this month that Russian forces neutralized approximately 500 Ukrainian nationalists in the Kherson region by strikes and artillery fire.

The Kherson Region in Ukraine is set to hold a referendum to become a full-fledged entity of the Russian Federation, according to the deputy head of the region’s military-civilian administration, Kirill Stremousov.

"The Kherson Region will forget about neo-Nazism already in the near future. We are getting ready for the referendum, we will hold it. I hope that in the near future already we will become a full-fledged territorial entity of the Russian Federation," Kirill Stremousov said in a video published on his Telegram channel.

Earlier in June, the first 23 Russian passports have been issued in the Kherson region, including to Vladimir Saldo, the head of the region's administration, a Sputnik correspondent reported on Saturday, June 11.

MAGA CASE STUDY:

Opinion piece relating to innovative learning, teaching, assessment and support in Mathematics, Statistics and Operational Research.

This case study involves the government's response to the rise of the MAGA Patriots in America after the J6 imprisonment of Trump supporters and what the MAGA Patriots have learned from the Biden administration since their J6 insurrection response.

MAGA Patriots are unlike BLM and Antifa in a number of ways.

1. They don't gather in large destructive groups.

2. They use critical thinking to evaluate the accuracy of a desired response.

3. They don't leave any footprints of questionable activities.

4. They prefer to use proven military strategies for quick resolutions.

5. They consider public safety is a top priority.

How can the government respond to a nationwide uprising of the invisible MAGA Patriots?

Everything the government thinks they know about Urban Warfare will not work to stop the MAGA Patriots because MAGA will be using the HIGHEST levels of stealth and AI technology to escape detection from many forms of tracking mainly:

Thermo Imaging.

GPS location data.

Social media tracking.

Surveillance of group meeting participation.

Cellphone data.

Facial recognition.

Speaking out against the government and media.

CoWorker or family knowledge.

There is not going to be anyway law enforcement or the military are going to be able to stop the invisible MAGA operations from being carried out by unknown individuals against the deep state it will be impossible.

For example: Let's say you are John Doe a Deep State corrupted never Trumper politician and the MAGA Patriots consider you a threat to the republic so MAGA puts out a no restrictions stealth pick-up Order on you… Thousands of highly skilled bounty hunters are going to be looking for you to execute a secret extraction….. It seems like them days are coming.

Shutting down the MAGA Patriots in America is virtually impossible.

When the MAGA people feel like they are at the end of the line and they are in serious danger because of government overreach that is when horrible things will start happening in every state in America.

Anyone can spend a couple of hours reading about this subject and they will come to the same conclusions… MAGA Patriots primarily just want to be left alone but can become extremely lethal in unstoppable ways.

Arresting president Trump on bogus charges could be the catalyst that lights the MAGA Patriots fuse.

Law enforcement officials are saying "if MAGA goes hot I'm staying inside 24/7 and won't risk taking sniper fire from combat veterans"

The 2020 election results played no role in this case study.

International concern mounts over latest developments in Iraq

The situation in Iraq escalated after the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada Al-Sadr, announced his retirement from political work, followed by protests in Baghdad, which resulted in several deaths and injuries.

Moscow: Everyone in Iraq needs to calm down and resort to dialogue

A source in the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced, on Tuesday, that Moscow is closely following the developments in Iraq, and calls on the conflicting parties to exercise restraint and resort to dialogue.

"We are following how events develop. Of course, everyone needs to calm down and conduct a constructive dialogue," the source told Sputnik.

"Russia does not believe there is any serious danger for Russians in Iraq, but will continue to analyze the situation from the security point of view," the source added.

France: We call for maximum restraint

France expressed its "extreme concern". In a statement, the French MFA said that "France calls on the parties to exercise the utmost restraint, and calls on them to assume responsibility and stop the bloody clashes immediately."

It also called on "all Iraqi political leaders to reaffirm their adherence to the Iraqi constitutional framework and respect the integrity of Iraqi institutions that must operate without hindrance," highlighting "the need for all Iraqi political actors to engage in a true and constructive national dialogue that serves the interests of the Iraqi people to meet their aspirations for peace, stability, and security."

The United States: Now is the time for dialogue to resolve differences

The US Embassy in Baghdad stressed that Iraq's security, stability, and sovereignty should not be jeopardized, noting that "Now is the time for dialogue, not escalated confrontation."

"Reports of unrest throughout Iraq today are disturbing as Iraqi institutions are not being allowed to operate. The United States is concerned about escalating tensions and urges all parties to remain peaceful and refrain from acts that could lead to a cycle of violence. Iraq’s security, stability, and sovereignty should not be put at risk," the embassy said in a statement.

The statement further read that "the right to peaceful public protest is a fundamental element of all democracies, but demonstrators must also respect the institutions and property of the Iraqi government, which belong to and serve the Iraqi people and should be allowed to function."

UN urges steps to de-escalate the situation in Iraq

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged to take immediate steps to calm the situation and avoid any violence in Iraq.

"The Secretary-General has been following with concern the ongoing protests in Iraq today, during which demonstrators entered government buildings. He is particularly concerned about reports of casualties," said the spokesperson for the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

The statement noted that the SG "Appeals for calm and restraint and urges all relevant actors to take immediate steps to de-escalate the situation and avoid any violence," adding that "The Secretary-General strongly urges all parties and actors to rise above their differences and to engage, without further delay, in a peaceful and inclusive dialogue on a constructive way forward."

EU calls for 'utmost restraint'

In a brief statement, the European Union mission in Iraq called "on all parties to exercise the utmost restraint."

The Arab League: We are following with concern the developments in Iraq

NEW YORK: "The FBI is looking for possible victims in connection with a human trafficking investigation in the New York City area. They believe that hundreds of women may have been victimized. Investigators arrested Ysenni Gomez on Aug. 12, 2022, and charged her with sex trafficking in Westchester County and the Bronx. Prosecutors claim that Gomez posted an online ad searching for waitresses to work at a restaurant in Manhattan. They say Gomez interviewed a woman who responded to the ad and said she had the job. On the victim’s first day, Gomez allegedly told her there was no waitress position and forced her into having sex with men by threatening to call federal authorities to have her deported. During an investigation, federal agents say they found more than 1,600 ads associated with Gomez promoting prostitution, dating back ten years, using Facebook, Bedpage.com, and MegaPersonals.com. Gomez is known to go by aliases Carolina and Ysenni Peguero, and could possibly have used the business name "Chicas Express" in the ads she placed, according to a criminal complaint filed in the Southern District of New York."

Russia to US: Pay back 20 years of occupation to Afghanistan

During the UN Security Council meeting on Afghanistan, Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya called on his US counterpart Linda Thomas-Greenfield to return the money stolen from the Afghan people, rather than trying to make others pay for someone else’s bills.

In response, Thomas-Greenfield claimed during the council meeting that Russia allegedly lacks contribution to fund the restoration of Afghanistan, adding: "From the long-winded speculations of our US colleagues, this could be perceived as a call to Russia and China to pay for the restoration of Afghanistan. Allegedly, it is the US and its allies who are paying for everything, while all that Russia and China only do is just empty talk."

Nebenzya fired back at the US' representative comment with: "The cynicism of such claims is simply shocking. We are being called upon to pay for restoring the country, whose economy was effectively destroyed by the 20-year-long occupation by the US and NATO," the diplomat noted. "Instead of admitting its own mistakes and trying to fix them, we are being accused of being unwilling to pay for someone else’s bill. It is an interesting proposal.

"No, our dear former Western partners, it is you who must pay for your own mistakes," the diplomat specified. "And, for starters, it is necessary to return the money stolen from the Afghan people back to them. We have been helping and will help Afghanistan. And we suggest that you focus on paying the bills to the Afghan people for the 20 years of [your] pointless occupation, which destroyed Afghanistan and which put its people on the brink of survival."

He insisted that money cannot measure everything, nor can it measure the lives lost during the US' "imposition of democracy" in the region, and "nor can money buy the loyalty of the people of Afghanistan, which the US has completely lost, apparently".

Washington and its allies, according to Thomas-Greenfield, have been working to exclude Russia from the UN human rights council following Ukraine's appeal to oust Russia from the UN in late February.

The US officially withdrew its troops from Afghanistan in August of 2021 after 20 years of occupation, which left battles raging across Afghanistan between the Taliban and the Afghan army, with the former now controlling vast areas of the borders throughout the country.

After the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan in August of last year, the US-backed government was dissolved, leaving behind over $7 billion in central bank assets deposited with the US Federal Reserve Bank in New York. US President Joe Biden then signed an executive order to release the $7 billion, claiming that they will be used for humanitarian assistance for Afghanistan and compensating American victims of "terrorism", including 9/11 families.

In response, the Taliban movement saw the US decision as a showcase of theft and US moral decline, according to Mohammad Naeem, a spokesperson for the Taliban political office, as he took to Twitter to say: "The theft of blocked money belonging to the people of Afghanistan by the United States, as well as taking possession of it, is a showcase of the human and moral decline of the country and people".

The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing US officials, that the United States will not release any of the $7 billion in Afghan central bank assets held on American soil and has halted relevant talks with the Taliban movement in the wake of the assassination of Al-Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri in Kabul last month.

Russian special envoy for Afghanistan Zamir Kabulov affirmed Russia's stance on backing the demand of Afghanistan's new government that Afghan sovereign assets frozen on foreign bank accounts be restored to it. Kabulov reiterated Russia's position by commenting: "They — the West — froze Afghan assets, these are not the money of the Taliban, but the money of the Afghan people. And Russia now takes a highly moral position, we are already helping Afghanistan with humanitarian supplies".

Emergency Declared in Four States After Oil Refinery Fire in Indiana Feared to Disrupt the Supply of Gasoline, Diesel, and Jet Fuel

(Domestic terrorists employed by the government doing their job)

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has temporarily suspended a federal rule for fuel sales in four states, including Indiana, in response to a fire that occurred at an oil refinery in Indiana last week. It is feared that the incident may cause disruptions in both gas pricing and supply, AP reported.

“As part of the Federal Government’s response to a fire and shutdown at the BP Whiting Refinery in Whiting, Indiana, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael Regan today issued an emergency fuel waiver to help alleviate fuel shortages in four states whose supply of gasoline has been impacted by the refinery shutdown,” EPA said in a statement.

“EPA has waived the federal regulations and federally enforceable State Implementation Plan requirements for fuel volatility on gasoline sold in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin, to facilitate the supply of fuel in these areas. This waiver will continue through September 15, 2022,” according to EPA’s news release.

Oil & refined products analyst, Patrick De Haan said, “the waiver allows winter gasoline to be sold, and allows more components to be used in gasoline, thereby increasing the amount of available supply. Still no restoration timeline on BP restarting its refinery.”

The devastating fire coincides with the highest gas and diesel prices in US history under Joe Biden.

More from AP:

The emergency waiver was granted Saturday for Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, EPA Administrator Michael Regan said. In a letter to state officials, Regan said the agency determined the waiver is necessary “to minimize or prevent disruption of an adequate supply of gasoline to consumers.”

The waiver lifts a Clear Air Act requirement that lower-volatility gasoline be sold in the states during summer months to limit ozone pollution. It is in effect until Sept. 15, the EPA said.

BP said its refinery in Whiting, Indiana, experienced an electrical fire Wednesday. No one was hurt, and the fire was put out, but it caused a loss of utilities in other parts of the refinery, forcing at least a partial shutdown. The refinery is located along Lake Michigan’s shoreline about 15 miles (24 kilometers) southeast of Chicago, according to the company.

The company said Sunday it is working toward a “phased restart of the refinery,” but no date was given.

Governors in all four states requested the EPA waivers, according to the EPA’s letter. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s office said the refinery provides about 20% to 25% of the gasoline, jet fuel and diesel used by Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana and Illinois.

BP spokeswoman Christina Audisho said the company was working with local and state agencies and was still assessing when affected units can restart.

US survey: 40% of Americans expecting civil war within decade

More than two-fifths of US citizens consider a civil war inevitable in the next ten years, a figure that rises to more than half among self-identified "strong Republicans."

The findings of YouGov and the Economist research follow similar results in previous polls.

US Senator Lindsey Graham warned on Sunday of "riots in the streets" if former US President Trump faces charges over his handling of documents found when the FBI searched his Mar-a-Lago home.

His remarks prompted widespread anger.

On Monday, Mary McCord, a former acting deputy attorney general, said, as quoted by CNN, that it was “incredibly irresponsible for an elected official to basically make veiled threats of violence, just if law enforcement and the Department of Justice … does their job”.

Stating “People are angry, they may be violent”, McCord added, indicating “what [Trump] knows and what Lindsey Graham also knows … is that people listen to that and people actually mobilize and do things”.

"January 6 was the result of this same kind of tactic by President Trump and his allies," he stressed.

The January 6 Capitol attack left seven people dead and more than 100 officers injured, including four officers who later committed suicide. More than 700 persons have been charged as a result of the investigation.

According to a YouGov and the Economist poll, 65% of all respondents believe political violence has increased since the beginning of 2021. Furthermore, 62% expected political violence to increase in the coming years.

Eyeing its long history of political violence and assassination, current rising radicalism and fighting words increase jagged political division and explicitly warn of inevitable political violence.

Re: The Game

Our reality has been scripted. Conscripted.

Long time planned. A fake world with fake history. Prison camp Earth.

A fabricated culture: scraps of the past sewn together with splinters of truth. Designed to divide, each person seeing through the glass darkly, at war with themselves and all others.

A frankenstein's monster of a world populated with programmed people (that's all of us, struggling to make sense of why everything is so broken and nothing works the way that it should).

Hypnotised. Television, religion, science, education. And, above all: "money" and "power". Delusional games with no good choices, designed to make us fail.

Get too close to the truth and POP! - self-destruct programmes will be triggered. Gotta be careful.

Hard to survive when thinking the truth will get you sent to Room 101, or worse. You have to look at it sideways and run into danger backwards with your eyes closed, trusting your gut.

Slowing down helps. Those neural triggers speed up our thinking, bamboozling us with cascades of brain hormones carefully designed to mimic insight, success, wonder, love, belonging. Wiring in false conclusions, then pushing the big red panic button in our brains in an attempt to force us into making poor choices that further disempower us. Panic breeds mistakes. A choose-your-own adventure in hell, with only wrong turns; no ladders, only snakes. Eventually you end up in an Escher-like trap: an escape room with no solution, a complete snare of double binds that chokes you the more you struggle to get free. At that point, the overlords would prefer for you to give up on this Game of Life, to throw in the towel and concede that they won, they made this beautiful place too unbearable to endure.

My father (one of the bad guys, a programmer) had a favourite saying: "Bullshit baffles brains".

Bullshit. It's all they've got, all they ever had. The soggy foundation of mental enslavement - and it's all mental enslavement. If they could simply control us by force, they wouldn't put so much effort into trickery and indoctrination, would they? They don't enjoy it. They'd much prefer to simply rip off the mask and rule us as gods as they once did - but they don't have the power. We are stronger than them and more numerous than them. Divest of the bullshit and it's game over for the rotten slave masters.

Need a plan? The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy presents a good one: Don't Panic. That's exactly what [they] want. It's all projection anyway. They're panicking like never before. Why? Because Clara made it to the Restaurant at the End of the Universe and she's cooking up a storm. Only the nature of reality being what it is, a torroid not a sphere, the end becomes the centre very quickly. So, really, it's the Restaurant at the Centre of the Universe. Time to get your appetite back. An appetite for life.

Saudi Arabia jails another woman for using Twitter

Court records reviewed by a human rights organization show that a second Saudi Arabian woman, Nourah bint Saeed Al-Qahtani, has been sentenced to decades in jail for using social media to "violate the public order" by the country's terrorism court.

A specialized criminal court allegedly found Al-Qahtani guilty of "using the internet to tear [Saudi Arabia's] social fabric" and sentenced her to 45 years in prison as a result, according to documents obtained and examined by Democracy for the Arab World Now (Dawn).

Dawn informed the Guardian of its findings, which the latter said had been corroborated by Saudi sources, in hopes that the public would be able to shed light on Al-Qahtani's case.

Abdullah Alaoudh, the director for the Gulf region at Dawn, said that Saudi authorities appear to have imprisoned Qahtani for “simply tweeting her opinions,” adding that “It is impossible not to connect the dots between Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s meeting with [US] President Biden last month in Jeddah and the uptick in the repressive attacks against anyone who dares criticize the crown prince or the Saudi government for well-documented abuses.”

It doesn't seem like Qahtani had a Twitter account under her real name. Other Saudis who are thought to have posted satirical or critical information on Twitter behind aliases have also been detained and arrested according to The Guardian.

The laws of Saudi Arabia are made to give the government the most amount of discretion possible, including the ability to hold people in custody for violating broadly defined anti-terrorism laws like "disturbing public order" and "endangering national unity."

Earlier, Salma Al-Shehab, a 34-year-old mother of two, aged four and six, was initially sentenced to three years in prison for the "crime" of using an internet website to "cause public unrest and destabilize civil and national security."

However, on Monday, August 15, an appeals court handed down the new sentence, of 34 years in prison followed by a 34-year travel ban, after a public prosecutor requested that the court consider other alleged crimes.

Shehab was not a prominent or particularly vocal Saudi activist, neither in Saudi Arabia nor in the United Kingdom.

On Instagram, where she had only 159 followers, she described herself as a dental hygienist, medical educator, Ph.D. student at Leeds University, lecturer at Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University, wife, and mother to her sons, Noah and Adam.

“MBS’s ruthless repression machine”

The European Saudi Organization for Human Rights condemned Shehab's sentence, which it said was the longest ever imposed on an activist. It was noted that many female activists had been subjected to unfair trials that resulted in arbitrary sentences, as well as "severe torture," including sexual harassment.

Khalid Aljabri, a Saudi living in exile whose sister and brother are detained in Saudi Arabia, said the Shehab case demonstrated Saudi Arabia's view that dissent equals terrorism.

“Salman’s draconian sentencing in a terrorism court over peaceful tweets is the latest manifestation of MBS’s ruthless repression machine,” he said.

“Just like [journalist Jamal] Khashoggi’s assassination, her sentencing is intended to send shock waves inside and outside the kingdom – dare to criticize MBS and you will end up dismembered or in Saudi dungeons.”

While the case has received little attention, the Washington Post published a sarcastic editorial about Saudi Arabia's treatment of the Leeds student on Tuesday, stressing that her case demonstrated that the "commitments" the US President received on reforms were "a farce."

“At the very least, Mr. Biden must now speak out forcefully and demand that Ms. Shehab be released and allowed to return to her sons, 4 and 6 years old, in the United Kingdom, and to resume her studies there,” it read.

Kremlin: EU visa ban on Russians 'cannot remain without an answer'

The proposal that would ban Russian tourists from Europe has divided EU nations recently, with some nations in full support and others opposing the idea such as Georgia, which has underlined its stance on not joining the "sanctions train" that other European countries and the US have jumped on, with secretary general of the ruling Georgian Dream-Democratic Georgia party, Kakha Kaladze, confirming that Georgia was open to Russian tourists.

During a two-day meeting in Prague that starts on Tuesday, EU foreign ministers will discuss the matter, with Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters: "We know that there are different views among Europeans on the matter. We will follow this closely. This is a very serious decision that could be directed against our citizens, …of course, such decisions cannot remain without an answer".

Brussels had enforced an abundance of continuous unexpected sanctions on Moscow as a response to the launch of the war in Ukraine. "Step by step", Peskov added, "Brussels and individual European capitals demonstrate an absolute lack of reason… This mix of irrationality, bordering on the insane, allows for such decisions (on visas) to be discussed".

The EU had already suspended the facilitation of Schengen visa procedures for Russian official delegations and business leaders, but short-stay visitors are exempt and are allowed to travel to the EU. Despite Ukraine's appeal to have Russian tourists forbidden completely from entering the EU, a symbolic suspension of the facilitation of visa applications is anticipated to take place.

Estonia proposed banning Russian citizens from entering Europe altogether in late July, with Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Reinsalu saying that as a general rule, Estonia will recommend restricting Russian individuals' access to Europe. The Polish government underlined that it supported Estonian authorities' proposal for a European entry ban on Russian tourists and other types of travelers from Moscow as part of sanctions imposed on Russia due to the war in Ukraine.

Peskov previously touched on the issue of the Schengen region denying visas to Russians, underlining that this would prompt Moscow to take retaliatory measures.

Russian leisure travelers use Schengen visas, which are usually valid across 26 EU and associated countries including Switzerland and Norway. Schengen visas normally allow stays of up to 90 days in a 180-day rolling period. The Schengen Area is an area comprising 26 European countries, namely Austria, Hungary, Norway, Belgium, Iceland, Poland, Czech Republic, Italy, Portugal, Denmark, Latvia, Slovakia, Estonia, Liechtenstein, Slovenia, Finland, Lithuania, Spain, France, Luxembourg, Sweden, Germany, Malta, Switzerland, Greece, and the Netherlands.

Science has a specific breed of beagle that's bread only by researchers, for research purposes. Accuracy of conclusion requires religious adherence to using only these dogs, so that all experiment are well-"controlled".

The first institution, anywhere in the world, that intentionally decided to experiment on beagles, specifically, was the University of Utah. The first eight beagles were purchased by the University of Utah on April 3, 1951, from Mr. A Clyde Clark, a dog breeder in Weston, West Virginia who was affiliated with the “West Fork Beagle Club.” Several more beagles were procured from various backyard breeders in the Salt Lake City area. By March 1, 1952, the University had acquired a total of 61 beagles for breeding, and the breeding program started immediately. Dogs were bred after their first estrus, and laboratory personnel performed cesarean sections on the beagles the moment the in utero puppies were viable. This allowed the mothers to be quickly re-impregnated “in order to obtain a maximal yield of puppies.”

By June 1953, the colony had already grown to 175 beagles. By 1955, there were 309 beagles in a space designed for no more than 200 dogs. Laboratory personnel described the conditions as “seriously overcrowded.” To contain costs, the dogs were fed horse meat. By 1960, more than 671 beagle puppies had been bred for use in the University of Utah’s deadly radioactive toxicity experiments. All 671 were bred from just 32 breeding pairs.

The dogs at the University of Utah were being used in Atomic Energy Commission-funded tests, known as “The Beagle Project.” All of the beagles were injected with plutonium, a highly toxic radionuclide. Some of the dogs were injected with highly toxic doses, and they were all allowed to suffer the painful effects of radiation poisoning without any anesthesia. Bone tumors, gross skeletal disfigurations, tooth loss, and “spontaneous” fractures were some of the most frequent harmful effects seen in the high-dose dogs. The beagles who received the highest dose of radium had an average of more than 20 fractures per dog (compared with zero fractures in the control groups.) The fractures could occur just about anywhere in the dogs’ bodies. Fractures of the jaw, cheek, ribs, legs, or spine were all observed. Because the experimenters were most keenly interested in knowing how exposure to radioactive substances affected lifespan, dogs who were suffering severely were not even given the mercy of euthanasia.

In April 1956, the university scored its first major national media exposure when the magazine Mechanix Illustrated ran a feature about the laboratory titled “These Dogs Are Really ‘Hot.’” The magazine contained the statement “[d]og lovers need not fret – tests are painless; no dogs have died,” which was incorrect, as several dogs had already died, and many more dogs were clearly dying.

Berlin rules out sending German, EU troops to Ukraine

Germany and the other member states of the European Union will not be sending their troops to Ukraine, Siemtje Moeller, the parliamentary state secretary of the Germany Defense Ministry, said on Tuesday.

Moeller, however, said the allied western countries would continue sending military assistance to Ukraine in light of the ongoing war.

"From our point of view, it is excluded," Moeller told reporters in Prague upon arrival for an informal EU defense ministers summit when asked about the prospect of Germany and other EU countries sending their military to Ukraine.

The official revealed that the informal meeting will see the defense ministers discussing - among other things - sending a high-level training mission for the Ukrainian armed forces, the official added.

Despite pledging more assistance, senior EU officials admit that there will most likely be a "crunch point" in the fall or early winter when EU countries begin to feel acute domestic economic pain as a result of the crisis.

Macron said that France will continue to support Ukraine with military, financial, and humanitarian aid until "victory" has been achieved on terms acceptable to Kiev. But behind these public statements of support for Ukraine lies a tug-of-war between Germany, France, and — before Prime Minister Mario Draghi’s downfall — Italy on the one hand, and Poland, the Baltics, and Nordics on the other.

The countries of the EU, mainly France and Germany, do not know what a "victory" might entail, and they continue to blindly aid Ukraine without knowing whether the war can be "won" without any escalations that directly involve NATO or the EU, or even Russia's use of unconventional weapons.

Germany is Ukraine's biggest European backer, with Berlin continuing to transfer weaponry to Ukraine that even its own forces do not have.

"We delivered whatever we had: anti-tank and anti-aircraft systems, mines, guns, tons of ammunition, and non-lethal aid. Since then, we've progressed to more intricate and valuable systems," German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said earlier in the month.

Due to the transfer of arms to Ukraine, Russia already addressed a note to all countries. According to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, any convoy containing arms for Ukraine will become a valid target for Russia.

Last month, German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht, reported by Germany's DPA news agency, said the German military is running out of weapons that can be sent to Ukraine, but Ukraine may still rely on Germany's assistance in the future.

U.S. Navy Foils Iranian Attempt to Capture Unmanned Vessel in Arabian Gulf

08.30.2022

The U.S. Navy prevented a support ship from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN) from capturing an unmanned surface vessel operated by the U.S. 5th Fleet in the Arabian Gulf, Aug. 29-30.

While transiting international waters around 11 p.m. (local time), Aug. 29, U.S. 5th Fleet observed IRGCN support ship Shahid Baziar towing a Saildrone Explorer unmanned surface vessel (USV) in an attempt to detain it. U.S. Navy patrol coastal ship USS Thunderbolt (PC 12) was operating nearby and immediately responded. U.S. 5th Fleet also launched an MH-60S Sea Hawk from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 26, based in Bahrain.

The actions taken by U.S. naval forces in response resulted in the IRGCN vessel disconnecting the towing line to the USV and departing the area approximately four hours later. The U.S. Navy resumed operations without further incident.

I love it when the Fake News publishes inconsistent outputs, first they say TruthSocial isn't big, or big enough or whatever, then, at the same time they spend time and resources ON THE SAME DAY THE SAME MORNING about all of what Trump truthed!

And not only that, but they even mention 'QAnon', which only FURTHERS the meme potentiality.

"posting or re-posting more than 60 times since early Tuesday morning, including content from QAnon accounts"

It's also very cultish for the Fake News to be obsessed by immediately needing to LABEL certain accounts as 'this or that TYPE'.

"Trump RepOsTed 13 aCcOuNtS tHaT oUr ExpErTs hAve dEemEd tYpe Q"

It's almost like their 'news' is doubling as their own soirce of counter intelligence to benefit the deep state.

https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/china-warns-sovereignty-violation-if-us-supplies-taipei-with

China warns sovereignty violation if US supplies Taipei with weapons

The spokesperson of the Chinese embassy to the US, Liu Pengyu, responded to the White House declaration asking the US Congress to approve a $1.1 billion weapons deal to Taiwan by saying that the US, through its military contact with Taipei and its decision to send arms, is violating the One China principle and thus should refrain from approving the deal.

"The US side needs to immediately stop arms sales to and military contact with Taiwan, stop creating factors that could lead to tensions in the Taiwan Strait, and follow through on the US government statement of not supporting ‘Taiwan independence,'" Liu Pengyu said.

The official further stated that China will continue to take decisive and forceful action to vehemently protect its security and sovereignty interests.

Politico previously reported that the White House is examining a package of weaponry for Taiwan that includes 60 AGM-84L Harpoon Block II anti-ship missiles ($355 million), 100 air-to-air AIM-9X Block II Sidewinder missiles ($85.6 million), as well as an extension of the deal for radars for $655.4 million.

China carried out its largest military drills around the self-governed island after a visit this month by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, which raised global alarms and pushed Beijing to resort to the use of military security to bring the island under control. The significance of Pelosi's visit is that it came at a time of great tensions between the US and China over Taiwan - marking the first visit made by a US House Speaker to the Island since 1997.

Biden requests $1bln package plan for Taiwan military

According to a Politico report published on Monday citing sources, the Biden administration intends to request an estimated $1.1 billion arms sale to Taiwan for the US Congress to approve, which consists of 60 anti-ship missiles and 100 air-to-air missiles, amid heightened tensions with China.

China carried out its largest military drills around the self-governed island after a visit this month by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, which raised global alarms and pushed Beijing to resort to the use of military security to bring the island under control. The significance of Pelosi's visit is that it came at a time of great tensions between the US and China over Taiwan - marking the first visit made by a US House Speaker to the Island since 1997.

Visits followed afterward when Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen met with a US Congress delegation consisting of five members and led by Democratic Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts, 2 weeks after the Pelosi visit. The latest was by Tennessee Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn on a visit to Taiwan from August 25 to 27 for which a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson stated that the US legislator's visit to Taiwan violates the One-China policy and the provisions of the three China-US joint communiqués, as well as the US commitment to maintain only non-official ties with Taiwan.

The Taiwanese military also held another round of live-fire drills in the Taiwan Strait after the Chinese army concluded its drills in the South China Sea in light of tensions with Taipei over US regional interference.

Reuters reported last week that Biden's administration, alongside US lawmakers, emphasizes their ongoing advocacy for the government in Taipei, and there are items on the waitlist for approval for the Taiwan agenda that could be announced in the coming weeks or months.

The focus, however, will be on maintaining Taiwan's current military structure and fulfilling existing orders, instead of offering new potentials more likely to agitate already existing tensions with China, as stated by three sources, who requested to remain anonymous due to the sensitivity of the matter.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the Politico report.

This comes after Biden announced last Wednesday a newly instated $3 billion military assistance that will allow Ukraine to acquire air defense systems, artillery systems and munitions, drones, and other equipment “to ensure it can continue to defend itself over the long term.”

Clinton 'extremely careless' with emails, but FBI recommends no charges

The FBI recommended on Tuesday that no criminal charges be filed over Hillary Clinton’s use of private email servers while she was secretary of state, but rebuked the Democratic U.S. presidential candidate for “extremely careless” handling of classified information.

While FBI Director James Comey’s announcement lifted a cloud of uncertainty that had loomed over Clinton’s White House campaign, his strong criticism of her judgment ignited a new attack on her over the email issue by Donald Trump, her likely Republican opponent in the Nov. 8 election.

Comey’s comments are likely to reinforce what polls show are widespread public concerns about Clinton’s honesty and trustworthiness. Republicans have pointed to the controversy as evidence that she considered herself above the law.

House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan, the highest- ranking elected U.S. Republican, said in a statement that Comey’s announcement “defies explanation.”

Ryan called on the FBI to release all of its findings in the case and said Comey would be called to testify before the House Oversight Committee. “We need to know more,” Ryan told Fox News.

In a lengthy statement on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s conclusions from its yearlong investigation, Comey directly contradicted statements Clinton has made while defending her use of the private email setup.

He said, for example, that the FBI found at least 110 emails that contained classified information when they were sent, although Clinton has repeatedly said she never sent or received classified information on her private servers.

“Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of the classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information,” Comey said.

But he said the FBI concluded “no reasonable prosecutor” would bring charges. “Although the Department of Justice makes final decisions on matters like this, we are expressing to Justice our view that no charges are appropriate in this case,” Comey told reporters in Washington.

Borrell wants 'political green light' to train more Ukrainian troops

Defense ministers of the EU will convene to discuss a high-level training mission for the Ukrainian military at an informal meeting in Prague, according to EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell on Tuesday, adding that he expects the ministers to achieve a political agreement on the matter.

At a press conference in Santander, northern Spain, Borrell disclosed the matter to reporters by saying: "Today, it is an informal meeting, so no decision can be taken, but, in general, an overall political agreement, that is what I think we have to get today. Later the details will come, we have a procedure, quite complex, in order to identify the objective, the purpose that I mentioned, the resources, but today, I hope that we will have a political green light for this mission".

He stated that the military training project would need to be agreed upon by all EU member states, as "several" nations already provide military training to Ukrainian forces under bilateral agreements such as the United Kingdom and other European countries that regularly deploy to Ukraine. Close to 20,000 European mercenaries have already joined since the beginning of the war.

Just last month, Borrell urged the EU to amp up cooperative weapons purchases to restore stocks depleted by the military support provided to Ukraine, improving NATO and the bloc's military capacities, and adding that the EU needs more deployable and interoperable armed forces to confront the whole spectrum of dangers and threats the unit is now experiencing.

The US has also demonstrated its stance on the matter, by not only providing its own troops for the Ukrainian forces but also recruiting former Afghan special forces and IS members to join the Ukrainian forces.

Both the US and the EU have been stacking military aid packages, with the former's latest package including a $3bln arms supply and the latter's seen through Germany's continuation of weaponry transfer to Ukraine, including new equipment that the German Armed Forces do not have enough of, according to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

The UK is also in deep water, according to a source cited by The Times newspaper, given that it is running out of weapons and financial contributions for Ukraine, which means that the new UK Prime Minister will face the question of whether to make billions of pounds of additional support at a time when public finances are under strain.
