Blogsthe nuke deterrence with additional options.......WE KNOW THAT THE AMERICAN EMPIRE (THE BOFFINS WHO CONTROL IT, NOW BASED IN THE BOWELS OF THE PENTAGON AND IN THE OFFICES OF THE FED BANK, WHILE THE WHITE HOUSE IS ONLY THE DISINFORMATION PROPAGATION "CENTER") HAS DREAMT OF DESTROYING RUSSIA SINCE AT LEAST 1917... THE ONLY THING THAT HAS PREVENTED THIS DESTRUCTION AND TAKE OVER OF THE HEARTLAND (RUSSIA AND CHINA) HAS BEEN THE MOIRES OF WORLD WARS, ALLIANCES AND THE SPIRIT OF THE INHABITANTS (THE RUSSIANS) PLUS SOME GOOD LUCK FOR THE RUSSIANS AND BAD LUCK FOR THE AMERICAN EMPIRE.. AS WELL, THE CHINESE HAVE SHOWN SOME RESISTANCE THAT THE AMERICANS STILL PRESENT TO US AS AGGRESSION WHEN IS IT IS NO MORE THAN A DESIRE OF COOPERATION IN PEACE. THE EMPIRE LIES TO MAKE ITS SUBJECTS BELIEVE...
amazon used secret algorithms to manipulate prices.....E-commerce giant Amazon touts the convenience and wide selection it offers to customers, but beneath the surface of its carefully cultivated image was secret technology that inflated prices across the web, according to the FTC. The online retail giant Amazon used an algorithm called “Project Nessie” to maximize profits to the detriment of consumers, according to newly revealed claims from the US Federal Trade Commission. That’s according to newly unredacted claims in a lawsuit filed by the US Federal Trade Commission against the company this week.
zelusionalsky....The Israel-Gaza war is "taking away the focus" from the conflict in Ukraine, the country's President Volodymyr Zelensky has admitted. He said this was "one of the goals" of Russia, which launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
freedom of expression.....On a shitty day like today Smoking a pipe by the fireplace would be okay Even should we run out of puff By getting cancer would be completely fair enough For the world is completely mad Full of humans that are completely bad Killing children and women with unborn child The rain and bombs falling from buckets The storms and wars getting worse than beastly rackets Life and death of all being weirdo strange As the bastards, in prison keep Julian Assange Using hypocrisy, lies, pearls of upside wisdom While they say without any humbling hesitation:
The U.S. continues to advocate for open and free press Around the world and accountability For those who attack press freedom. On International Day to End Impunity
understanding china without the american belligerence....An intimate and complex understanding of China is now one of the most important prerequisites for understanding and furthering our national interests. For the two nations of China and Australia, to allow tensions and misunderstandings to provoke a decoupling in the knowledge production sphere –whether it be in the sciences, the social sciences or the humanities – would be extremely unwise, from the point of view of securing Australia’s future.

like asking dracula to become a vegetarian....Israel will not change its approach to Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at a press conference on Friday. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will continue its bombing campaign on the Palestinian enclave, he said, adding that West Jerusalem will not agree to a pause in the hostilities unless the Israeli hostages are freed. The IDF will continue to strike Gaza with “all of its power,” Netanyahu said in a statement to the media. Israel “refuses a temporary ceasefire that doesn’t include the return of our hostages,” he added.
beware of "gifted" amateurs — especially amateur dictators.......The November issue of Time magazine features a cover with a small portrait of Vladimir Zelensky and the word "Nobody" above it. The word in larger type is part of the longer headline "Nobody Believes in Our Victory Like I Do" but, whatever the designers had in mind, it was unmistakable: Zelensky equals a nobody. The similarly illustrated article was no less scandalous. It made everything clear: we Russians must keep Zelensky as the apple of our eye, because no one brings more chaos to the conduct of hostilities on the Ukrainian side and more discord to Kiev's relations with the West than he does.
Russia should protect Zelensky
"it's Russia's fault — especially Putin's — that the west is corrupt"............“It’s the dark heart of Britain, the place where democracy goes to die.” You’d be forgiven for thinking this describes a seedy underbelly of society – perhaps a British mafia. In actual fact, George Monbiot is describing The City of London. Not London, the geographical location, but the borough known as The City: the financial district of London which is governed by The Corporation of The City of London. How can a square mile of land hold such significance and also be such a threat to democracy? The answer partially lies in its history.
a list of unpleasant notions....Diego Ramos, ScheerPost’s managing editor, forwarded me a video clip last week he thought I ought to see. Sending it under the subject line, “Disturbing trend in Israel,” my colleague must have reckoned I have not been sufficiently shocked by the events in Israel and Gaza since Hamas mounted an assault into southern Israel on October 7 and the Israeli Defense Forces began a purposely disproportionate response to the incursion—purposely disproportionate as a matter of official policy since David Ben–Gurion put it in place during his premiership in the 1950s.

making rugs out of leopard skins....The German federal government revealed on Wednesday that Berlin has sent Ukraine an additional 25 Leopard tanks. This latest shipment brings the total number of these vehicles handed over to the Eastern European country from Berlin to 115, according to a government press release. Germany and Denmark have embarked on a collaborative project, as mentioned in the statement, to provide Kiev with older iterations of Berlin’s primary battle tank, the Leopard 1A5. The most recent shipment also added nearly two dozen reconnaissance drones and five new drone boats to Ukraine’s supplies. Berlin also shipped Kiev a total of 12 new armored personnel carriers and six airspace surveillance radars, along with around 30 military trucks and 30,000 sets of winter clothing.
fire drill with an arsonist.......In August 2022, Ukrainian security service (SBU) operatives hid explosives in a crate intended for a cat in a car driven by a woman and her twelve year old daughter. After the car passed through the Russian border, the SBU planted the bomb in the SUV of Russian journalist Darya Dugina, the daughter of well known philosopher Alexander Dugin, who was tragically killed.[1]
beyond humanitarian bombings and compassionate destruction.....US President Joe Biden has refused to call for a ceasefire in the Israeli-Hamas conflict, instead proposing a temporary humanitarian pause. Biden was speaking to an audience of some 200 people when a woman, who later identified herself as rabbi Jessica Rosenberg, shouted, “If you care about Jewish people, as a rabbi, I need you to call for a cease-fire right now.” The incident was captured on video and shared by the Jewish Voice for Peace account on X (formerly Twitter), claiming that Rosenberg was speaking on behalf of thousands of Jewish Americans who “refuse to allow a genocide to be carried out in [their] name”
blocked brains in canberra.....The West’s sanctions proposals against Russia are becoming increasingly absurd, President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday during a televised government meeting on economic issues. Earlier this month, Lithuania suggested including an embargo on buttons, nails, and sewing appliances in the 12th round of EU sanctions against Russia, which is currently being debated by the bloc’s member states. Last week, the Australian government added tools used to drill, press, stamp, punch or press, as well as television and sound recorders to a broader export ban against Russia that also includes boilers, machinery, and mechanical appliances.
when the thief claims self-defence of his interests.... In a world aflame, the Biden administration launched a new round of airstrikes against Iranian-linked forces backing the Syrian government. American officials claimed “self-defense”—for America’s invading force illegally occupying Syria’s land, plundering its resources, and sanctioning its government. Washington foreign policy, meet George Orwell’s 1984. BY Doug Bandow
operation al-aqsa flood.....Contrary to what I wrote last week based on dispatches from Western and Arab news agencies filtered by Israeli military censorship, Israel’s attack on October 7, 2023 (operation “Al-Aqsa Flood) “) was not perpetrated by Hamas alone. Its triggering was decided by a unitary operation chamber of the entire Palestinian Resistance. Israeli military censorship hides the truth from you
