´Rape Europe´ is next, stupid
The Saker – July 15, 2022
By Jorge Vilches for the Saker Blog
Useful European idiots
“ Washington and London have drawn ´useful European idiots´ into an economic war against Russia ” – said former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev – adding that “the onset of a systemic crisis in the Eurozone is beginning to come true.”
He added that Anglo-Saxons on both sides of the Atlantic conned EU members “like a couple of shell-game tricksters” by drawing them into an unwarranted economic war against Moscow which is actually an Anglo-Saxon project, not theirs.
Paraphrasing James Carville, “it´s the Anglo-Saxons, stupid”.

STUDY: Natural immunity to covid never wanes, but fully jabbed are developing AIDS
Natural News – Friday, July 15, 2022
Every person who left his immune system alone now has permanent immunity to the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19), a new study has found. But every person who got “vaccinated” now has acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, also known as AIDS.
Researchers in Qatar looked at data from the Qatari National digital-health information platform, which covers the country’s entire population. Nearly 90 percent of the country is expatriates from over 150 countries, so the data is expansive.

Central Bank Digital Currencies Are Coming – What Will The Consequences Be?
Tyler Durden – Friday, Jul 15, 2022
Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.us
Currencies are the lifeblood of trade and the economy; if a currency fails, the entire economy fails.
Yet, most people rarely think about the health or buying power of the money in their pocket. People don’t research how often currencies actually falter and how common it is for inflation or stagflation to strike nations. They just assume that the money they have will be as useful tomorrow as it is today. They also assume that money will never change in a dramatic way.

Hezbollah’s power card over Israel’s gas tyranny
The Cradle – Abdel Bari Atwan – July 17 2022
How close is the Levant to war? Hezbollah’s leader says it all comes down to whether Lebanon is permitted to extract its own energy resources to end the country’s economic crisis. And not in the far future, but right now.
The Lebanese Resistance has drawn a red line: they will not allow Israel to extract oil and gas until the issue of contested gas fields is resolved and Lebanon is free to extract its own.

Destroying The Planet To Save Ukraine?
Tyler Durden – Monday, Jul 18, 2022
Authored by Patricia Adams and Lawrence Solomon via The Epoch Times,
Saving Ukraine from Russia has become more important to Western leaders than saving the planet from climate change, more important than keeping their populations from freezing in the dark, more important than the viability of Western industries, and more important even than avoiding the risk of an all-out nuclear war between the West and Russia.
An early indication of the West’s loss of all perspective where Russia is concerned – call it Russia Derangement Syndrome – occurred in the United States after Donald Trump was elected president.

A view from Donbass: Ukraine has treated the people of this region as sub-humans, this made peace impossible
RT – 17 Jul, 2022 – Vladislav Ugolny
How Kiev has tried to dehumanize people in its former East – first domestically, then everywhere
The military conflict in Ukraine, which began on February 24, was preceded by a long war in Donbass. Over the course of eight years, it claimed the lives of at least 14,200 people (according to the OHCHR), over 37,000 were wounded, hundreds of thousands became refugees or had their homes destroyed.
A de-escalation was achieved in February 2015, as both sides realized that a bad peace was better than a good war, and attempted to find a political resolution on the basis of the Minsk agreements.

MOSCOW, July 18. /TASS/.

“In other words, the [Ukrainian President Vladimir] Zelensky regime has given the American company access to all communications devices in the country. He has given it instruments for spying, provocations, computer attacks “under somebody else’s flag.” It looks like Ukraine’s notorious ‘IT army,’ which keeps on boasting hacker attacks on Russian servers, is also the work of Microsoft,” he stressed.

For weeks now, farmers in the Netherlands have been engaging in fierce protests over their government’s plan to halve the country’s nitrogen and ammonia pollution by 2030.

The White House keeps insisting that it will not directly involve American soldiers in the war in Ukraine, but it keeps taking steps that will inevitably lead to a large-scale open combat role for the US against Russia.
Among the most recent moves to increase the pressure on the Kremlin, Biden revealed at a NATO summit meeting in Madrid on June 29th that the US will establish a permanent headquarters in Poland for the Fifth Army Corps, maintain an additional rotational brigade of thousands of troops in Romania and bolster other deployments in the Baltic states.

For many years we have been anticipating the implementation of far reaching and transformative restrictions on industry and agriculture in the name of “climate change” initiatives, and now it would seem the time has come for the fight to commence.
The first major battleground is clearly Europe, as individual nations follow the emissions dictates if the centralized EU government, crushing their own economies while in the midst of a self induced energy crisis. It seems like madness, but there’s a bigger agenda at play here.

The power troika trumps Biden in West Asia
Pepe Escobar – July 20 2022
The presidents of Russia, Iran, and Turkey convened to discuss critical issues pertaining to West Asia, with the illegal US occupation of Syria a key talking point
Oil and gas, wheat and grains, missiles and drones – the hottest topics in global geopolitics today – were all on the agenda in Tehran this week.
The Tehran summit uniting Iran-Russia-Turkey was a fascinating affair in more ways than one. Ostensibly about the Astana peace process in Syria, launched in 2017, the summit joint statement duly noted that Iran, Russia and (recently rebranded) Turkiye will continue, “cooperating to eliminate terrorists” in Syria and “won’t accept new facts in Syria in the name of defeating terrorism.”
That’s a wholesale rejection of the “war on terror” exceptionalist unipolarity that once ruled West Asia.

The Foreign Intelligence Agency of the Republic of Poland (AW) has made an analysis of the current situation in Ukraine.
In their opinion, a catastrophic situation has developed in the formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Ukrainian Army loses 300 servicemen a day, and this figure is underestimated by the president’s office in order not to cause panic among civilians and military. Constant strikes by the Russian Armed Forces on command posts and training centers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have led to the death of about 4,600 thousand Ukrainian fighters over the past three months, and these are trained and experienced servicemen.

Unenviable Fate Of Foreign Fighters In Ukraine
SouthFront – 27.07.2022
Ukraine is being projected as an unstoppable force of heroic fighters on the battlefield by western media and it inspired thousands of ‘volunteers’ from all over the globe to flock to join the fight against Russia.
‘Volunteers’ can be paid 3400 US dollars per month if they decide to work under the Ukrainian government or can even make 1000 to 2000 US dollars per day if they decide to work for private contractors, which qualifies them as mercenaries.

Britain’s surveillance of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, under the guise of ‘counter-terrorism’
The Cradle – Kit Klarenberg – July 27 2022
A follow-up exposé into the British Foreign Office’s clandestine operations across Lebanon’s 12 Palestinian refugee camps to undermine the sovereignty of the state
In April, The Cradle revealed how British intelligence outfit ARK has secretly infiltrated Lebanon’s myriad refugee camps in Beirut, and exploited local residents as unwitting foot soldiers in London’s never-ending clandestine war against the Lebanese state.
But ARK isn’t the only Foreign Office contractor that has malignly penetrated these spaces. Torchlight Group – a “global provider of security, stability and rule of law solutions,” which manages covert Whitehall projects in Afghanistan, Nigeria, Pakistan, Tunisia and elsewhere – is also active in refugee camps across Lebanon.

‘The Special Relationship’: How the British Reconquered the United States and Established an Anglo-American Empire
The Saker – July 27, 2022 – Cynthia Chung
“Neither the sure prevention of war, nor the continuous rise of world organisation will be gained without … a special relationship between the British Commonwealth and Empire and the United States…not only the growing friendship and mutual understanding between our two vast but kindred systems of society, but the continuance of the intimate relationship between our military advisers”. – Winston Churchill, ‘Iron Curtain Speech’, 1946
This will sound like an outrageous statement to many. How could the British have reconquered the United States?!

Ukraine Is Losing The War… And So Is Europe
Tyler Durden – Thursday, Jul 28, 2022
Authored by Oscar Silva-Valladares via The Ron Paul Institute,
Beyond the damage in Ukraine, the war also has significant casualties in the rest of Europe as the continent is losing its most competitive energy supplies, compromising the region’s manufacturing edge and accelerating an inflation wave that through higher energy costs will severely affect the wellbeing of its population this coming winter.

Taiwan is a distraction
The Saker – July 28, 2022
By Amarynth for the Saker Blog
The current hot war of words regarding Nancy Pelosi’s announced visit to Taiwan is reaching a dangerous nexus and threatening to spill over into military action.
China considers this belligerent approach as a threat to their stated One Country, Two Systems policy as well as a threat to the 1992 consensus. The two sides of the Taiwan Strait reached the consensus in 1992 that “both sides belong to one China and will work together toward national reunification”. It defines the fundamental nature of the cross-Strait relationship and lays the political foundation for its development.

Johnstone: The Phoniest, Most PR-Intensive War Of All Time
Tyler Durden – Friday, Jul 29, 2022
Authored by Caitlin Johnstone via Medium.com,
The president and first lady of Ukraine have posed for a romantic photoshoot with Vogue magazine, wherein President Volodymyr Zelensky waxes poetical about his love for his darling wife.
Call me crazy, but I’m beginning to suspect that there might be a concerted effort to manipulate the way we think about the war in Ukraine. In fact, I’d even go so far as to say it’s the most aggressively perception-managed war we’ve ever experienced.

“The shelling of the pre-trial detention center in Elenovka began because the captured “Azov” began to speak,” said Head of the DPR Denis Pushilin.

American officials are starting to admit Washington’s lies about Iran. William Burns, director of the CIA, said on Wednesday, July 20, that Iran has never resumed its nuclear weapons production program since it was interrupted, in 2004. The statement only confirms the suspicion of several analysts around the world, but it is truly impressive that it came from the head of American intelligence.
