Philip Giraldi • August 16, 2022 • 1,500 Words
What exactly did Ayman al-Zawahiri do?
I often complain that Washington’s heavily lopsided relationship with Israel is an arrangement that brings absolutely no benefit to the American people, and even less to our national security as it has involved the US in an endless series of completely avoidable conflicts.

UN, August 16. /TASS/. A trip by the delegation of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant via Kiev and then across the contact line would be very dangerous, Igor Vishnevetsky, Deputy Director of the Department for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control at the Russian Foreign Ministry, told reporters on Monday.
“Across the front line – that is a huge risk, given that the Ukrainian armed forces are heterogeneous armed formations. These people will be ready to commit any provocation,” he said.

WEF’s “Global Intelligence Collecting AI” To Erase Ideas From The Internet
Tyler Durden – Tuesday, Aug 16, 2022
Via ‘2nd Smartest Guy in the World’ Substack,
The World Economic Forum is becoming a little concerned. Unapproved opinions are becoming more popular, and online censors cannot keep up with millions of people becoming more aware and more vocal. The censorship engines employed by Internet platforms, turned out to be quite stupid and incapable.
People are even daring to complain about the World Economic Forum, which is obviously completely unacceptable.

Putin first, populists next – who else will Western leaders blame for an energy crisis caused by NATO’s geopolitical ambitions?
Jonas E. Alexis, Assistant Editor – August 17, 2022
Western officials gear up to label as ‘extremism’ any protest against their self-destructive policies
By Russia Today
At the outset of the Ukraine conflict, Western officials proclaimed their unity against Moscow and vowed to accelerate their transition away from Russian fossil fuels and towards greener energy.
The idea was to deprive the Kremlin of revenues which, in their minds, would result in defunding the military operation in Ukraine. So they went full scorched-earth on their own cheap energy supply – that is, gas from Europe’s largest country – and sanctioned it.

Interesting news two days in a row.

And today, the Russians have announced that they have arrested two employees of the Zaporozhiie nuclear plant (one guard and one engineer!) who were providing the Ukrainians with targeting coordinates and strike correction. Now Russia is warning that a major strike on this nuclear plant would have catastrophic consequences.

Israel Conquers the World
Philip Giraldi • August 23, 2022 • 2,000 Words
I have to confess a certain liking for Russian President Vladimir Putin. No, it’s not over his actions in Ukraine, nor his authoritarian tendencies domestically.
It is due to the fact that he sometimes articulates the hypocrisy of foreign countries and leaders in a pithy and take-no-prisoners fashion. He has lately been brave enough to compare and contrast what the Russian military has been accused of in Ukraine with what Israel has been doing to Gaza.

Besides Spain, France, Germany and Italy, not even the UK and Poland have made any new military commitments to Ukraine, which is quite surprising considering they had been such staunch supporters.

De dood van een drie maanden oude baby in de sporthal van het aanmeldcentrum, afgelopen woensdag, was voor de Inspectie Gezondheidszorg en Jeugd (IGJ) aanleiding om de situatie in Ter Apel met eigen ogen te bekijken.
Vervolgens waren de erbarmelijke hygiënische omstandigheden, die de IGJ-inspecteurs aantroffen, reden alarm te slaan bij Ernst Kuipers, minister van Volksgezondheid, en Koen Schuiling, de voorzitter van Veiligheidsregio Groningen.

Nord Stream 2 – Not ‘Scrap Metal’ After All?
SouthFront – 27.08.2022 – Drago Bosnic
Many in the German establishment are trying to point out the absurdity of the whole “stick it to Putin” trope, as Germany is effectively cutting down the branch on which its industry rests by ditching Russian energy supplies.
Since the day the Nord Stream 2 project was announced, the United States and many of its vassals have been trying to torpedo it, from “advising against” the project at first to imposing sanctions on all parties involved. Since February, even before Russia launched its counteroffensive against NATO aggression in Europe, Western officials, pundits and mainstream media gleefully dismissed the Nord Stream 2 as “scrap metal at the bottom of the sea.”
