If you want to read an excellent example of schizophrenia, take time and read the NY Times piece published on Friday — As Russia Advances, U.S. Fears Ukraine Has Entered a Grim Phase. It is a mixture of truth and lies. The following passage is emblematic:

American military and intelligence officials have concluded that the war in Ukraine is no longer a stalemate as Russia makes steady gains, and the sense of pessimism in Kyiv and Washington is deepening.

The dip in morale and questions about whether American support will continue pose their own threat to Ukraine’s war effort. Ukraine is losing territory in the east, and its forces inside Russia have been partially pushed back.

Kemi Badenoch has been elected as the new leader of the UK’s Conservatives in a vote on Saturday, replacing Rishi Sunak and becoming the first black woman to lead a major British political party.

Born in the UK and raised in Nigeria and the US, the 44-year-old beat leadership rival MP Robert Jenrick by 12,418 votes, according to the state broadcaster the BBC. In her victory speech, Badenoch, who became an MP in 2017 after a career in banking and IT, vowed to renew the party after it suffered its worst defeat in the general election in July.

She has stressed the need to “bring back” voters that have abandoned the Tories, claiming that the party is “critical to the success of our country.”

The Five Eyes intelligence group is reportedly considering the creation of a top-secret cloud environment that would allow its members to more easily share data, the outlet Breaking Defense reported on Tuesday.

Officials from all of the group’s member countries, which include the US, the UK, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia, reportedly agreed at a recent Department of Defense Intelligence Information System conference (DODIIS) that such technology would “turn information technology interoperability into a reality,” the outlet said.

It is also envisioned that the information stored on the cloud could be “tagged” with metadata that would help identify where the intelligence came from, according to Brig. Gen. Eric Vandenberg, who heads the general intelligence enterprise for the Canadian Department of National Defense.

U.S. Marine Corps Officer Scott Ritter and CIA Analyst Ray McGovern blow the lid off the secrecy of Israel’s Iran attack and expose the reality that is being buried by western mainstream media and official Israel: Iran just scored a huge victory and the Israeli regime has been put on notice. This video breaks it all down.

Job creation in October slowed to its weakest pace since late 2020 as the impacts of storms in the Southeast and a significant labor impasse dented the employment picture.

Nonfarm payrolls increased by 12,000 for the month, down sharply from September and below the Dow Jones estimate for 100,000, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. In what had already been expected to be a downbeat report, October posted the smallest gain since December 2020.

The unemployment rate, however, held at 4.1%, in line with expectations. A broader measure of unemployment that includes discouraged workers and those holding part-time jobs for economic reasons also was unchanged at 7.7%.

I have Aussie friends who fly the Ukrainian flag — they support the people of Ukraine who have been hit by the Devil himself: Vladimir Putin…

Fair enough. 

But sometimes one needs to make a deal with the Devil… 

By Gus Leonisky

POLITICAL CARTOONIST SINCE 1951

Nothing new here, we make deals with the Debil-Beast all the time… I mean the other Devil, America. 

So what’s the deal to be made with the Devil? Here there’s no god to refer too, except common sense and historical context.

America’s lack of wisdom and flexibility triggered Ukraine conflict – Medvedev to RT
The US exceptionalist approach will once become its undoing, ex-Russian president Dmitry Medvedev says...

The Ukrainian conflict could have been avoided entirely if the US had shown enough “wisdom” and “flexibility” to strike a comprehensive security deal with Russia, former Russian President and current deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev has said.

The ex-president made the remarks in an exclusive interview with RT, which largely revolved around the situation in Georgia and the outcome of its recent general election. The polls resulted in a defeat of pro-Western opposition parties, with the ruling Georgian Dream party greatly reinforcing its position.

WASHINGTON, Nov 1 (Reuters) - Donald Trump suggested former lawmaker Liz Cheney should face combat with guns trained on her, comments his campaign said were intended to criticize her as a warmonger but which critics condemned as evidence he would target his enemies if he wins the presidential election.

The primary focus of the Zionist movement and the Israeli lobby is not combating anti-Semitism but rather combating critics of Israel’s colonial apartheid regime and the crimes it is perpetrating against the Palestinian people.

Three years on, there is still no compelling argument, strategic or otherwise, for Australia’s acquiring eight Virginia-class nuclear-­propelled submarines (SSNs). Nor is there any compelling calculation of the large lick of funding – $368bn and more – that the program will soak up. Only Defence seems able to command such stupendous outlays when childcare, aged care, Medicare rebates, the National Disability Insurance Scheme, education and social housing fight it out for every cent they can get. The opportunity costs outweigh the value of the opportunity.

BRICS vs White Man’s Burden: The era of ‘civilizing the savages’ is over

The era of Eurocentrism, when imperialist forces leveraged their self-appointed ‘mission’ to impose their diktats on developing nations, is over

The recent BRICS summit in Kazan is a potent symbol of shifting global dynamics, challenging the longstanding dominance of the West.

Two Australian mathematicians have called into question an old adage, that if given an infinite amount of time, a monkey pressing keys on a typewriter would eventually write the complete works of William Shakespeare.

Known as the "infinite monkey theorem", the thought-experiment has long been used to explain the principles of probability and randomness.

However, a new peer-reviewed study led by Sydney-based researchers Stephen Woodcock and Jay Falletta has found that the time it would take for a typing monkey to replicate Shakespeare's plays, sonnets and poems would be longer than the lifespan of our universe.

Which means that while mathematically true, the theorem is "misleading", they say.

For the past decade there’s been no bigger mainstream media mouthpiece for the Russiagate disinformation campaign than Rachel Maddow, so it should come as no surprise with just a few days left before the 2024 presidential election that the MSNBC host is back to flogging that dead horse. Most recently Maddow was joined by Ukraine coup plotter Valerie Nuland to fearmonger over that pesky Putin’s plans for attempting to steal his third U.S. presidential election in a row.

TJDS guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss wonder why Maddow focuses so much on the nonexistent Russian election interference when Israel’s well-documented efforts to influence our elections receives no attention at all.
