In June 2020, the Confederation of European Security Services (COESS) published a roadmap, “ The New Normal 2.0 – Private Security and Covid-19 in Europe “, on reading which one can only admire the real gifts of divination in agents who otherwise could have passed for simple healers of gorillas or even improved Benalla.

The Pentagon has had its ears shot again for losing track of $220 billion worth of equipment supplied to contractors, as revealed in a recent report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). Washington now fears being audited on its massive aid to Ukraine, an idea that has been raised by several Republican parliamentarians.

This “lost” armament is indeed tested on the Ukrainian ground, which serves as a real laboratory for the American forces, affirms to Sputnik Karen Kwiatkowski, retired Air Force Lt. Col.

US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) had an event in New York on Saturday disrupted by a group of demonstrators who rose to their feet and began singing a Latin hymn for peace. The protestors were voicing their objection to the self-professed progressive’s vote to send billions of dollars worth of weapons to Ukraine.

Holding signs reading “negotiation not annihilation” and “stop sending weapons to Ukraine,” the group sang ‘Dona Nobis Pacem’, a Latin hymn used in the Catholic mass that translates as ‘Give Us Peace’.

“We always support everyone’s First Amendment rights here and everyone has the complete right to political expression,” Ocasio-Cortez responded, but only after the protesters had been removed from the premises by security.

On January 20, 2023, TF1-LCI published an article and a video aimed at discrediting several independent Western journalists working in the Donbass. Except that this pseudo "fact-checking" turns out in the end to be only a collection of truncated information or even false information, when it does not quite simply turn into defamation.

AS BUZZ TIES THE KNOT FOR A FOURTH TIME, THE SMELL OF GOD SEEMS TO HANG AROUND IN SPACE... LOONIES ABOUND AROUND THIS SUBJECT EVER SINCE YURI GAGARIN DID NOT FIND GOD DURING HIS FAMOUS TRIP ON 12 APRIL 1961.

BUT SOME SPECIALISTS OF THE SUBJECT ARE NOW WARNING US ABOUT THE NEW RELIGION OF SPACE CONQUEST...

Germany has blamed Russia for forcing it to resort to coal for heating and electricity in place of clean natural gas. Is there any truth behind this assertion? Sputnik investigates.

Vladimir Putin is personally to blame for Germany’s gas crisis, German Economy Minister Robert Habeck has announced. 

NOW, YOU ARE A LEFTY LIBERAL-MINDED/OR A RIGHT-WING MUSLIM-HATER, AND YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR COUNTRY, SAY SWEDEN, TO JOIN NATO. YOU GO AND PROTEST IN THE STREET OF STOCKHOLM AND GET NO SATISFACTION FROM YOUR COUNTRY. NOTHING BUT A POLITE SPRAYING FROM THE POLICE WITH WATER CANNONS. 

YOU KNOW THAT TURKEY IS A LIBERAL MUSLIM COUNTRY WITH A SMART GUY IN CHARGE WHO HAS DEMANDED THAT MEMBERS OF THE KURDISH PKK (DESIGNED TERRORISTS IN TURKEY) HIDING IN SWEDEN BE RETURNED TO FACE JUSTICE.

YOUR GOVERNMENT DOES NOT WANT TO DO THE TRADE — NATO VS KURD "TERRORISTS" — BUT MIGHT DO IT NONETHELESS, BECAUSE THE YANKS ARE YANKING IN YOUR GOVERNMENT'S TROUSERS TO JOIN NATO URGENTLY...

Since Russia’s surprise decision to voluntarily withdraw from west bank Kherson in the first week of November, there has been little in the way of dramatic changes to the frontlines in Ukraine. In part, this reflects the predictable late autumn weather in Eastern Europe, which leaves battlefields waterlogged and clogged with mud and greatly inhibits mobility. For hundreds of years, November has been a bad month for attempting to move armies any sort of significant distance, and like clockwork we started to see videos of vehicles stuck in the mud in Ukraine.

Critics of the US empire have spent months compiling mountains of evidence showing that the empire knowingly provoked the war in Ukraine. Supporters of the US empire have spent months posting dog memes and accusing strangers of being paid by Putin. It’s clear who’s in the right.

So does everyone else in the world get a vote on whether their lives should be risked in an offensive to control who governs Crimea? Or will the Biden administration just be making that call on behalf of all living creatures?

SOMETIMES I FEEL THAT SOME CARTOONISTS CHOOSE THE EASY MAINSTREAM PATH BECAUSE IT'S IN THE INTEREST OF THEIR MASTERS (THE EDITORS WHO DO THE BIDDING FOR THE OWNERS). I CAN'T BLAME THEM: IT FEEDS THE BEAST OF DISINFORMATION WHICH MOST MEDIOCRE MASS MEDIA DE MIERDA, INCLUDING THE SMH, NEED TO STAY ALIVE AND PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR MUCH GOVERNMENTAL CRAP... ON MOST ISSUE, I LIFT MY LID TO THESE BRAVE CARTOONISTS...

The leadership of the social media giant Twitter (access to this social network is prohibited in the Russian Federation on the basis of Article 15.3 of the Federal Law “On Information, Information Technologies and Information Protection”) stated before the New Year that it had long adhered to clear positions on the spread of American influence abroad, and in this regard, it works shoulder to shoulder with the Pentagon.

DEALING WITH SHELDRAKE’s “SCIENTIFIC LUNACY” IS NOT AS STRAIGHT FORWARD AS SOME ENLIGHTENED PEOPLE MAKE OUT. 

SHELDRAKE DEALS IN “MORPHIC RESONANCE” WHICH FOR MANY (ALL) SCIENTISTS IS AKIN TO WITCHCRAFT… THE STARTING POINT OF HIS THEORY IS QUITE BANAL, REALLY:

“memory is inherent in nature”.  

NO-ONE, NOT EVEN THE MOST INSANE MAD PRIEST OR LOONY SCIENTIST CAN ARGUE AGAINST THIS. DNA IS THE MEMORY OF LIFE. IF DNA WENT RANDOM WE WOULD NOT EXIST. IF DNA WENT TOO CREATIVE, WE’D BE GODZILLAS…. BEFORE THIS, IT WAS THE BIBLE OR THE K’RAN THAT CARRIED OVER THE SOCIAL MEMORY AND STILL DOES IN SOME WAY, WRONGLY OR RIGHTLY.

It is always the same when Japanese premiers travel to Washington to summit at the White House. Nothing seems to happen and nobody pays much attention even when important things happen, when we should all pay attention, and, when we do pay passing attention, we usually get it wrong. In January 1960, when Premier Nobusuke Kishi visited Washington, President Eisenhower blessed the war criminal and signed a security treaty the Japanese public vigorously opposed. That week Newsweek marked Kishi down as “that friendly, savvy Japanese salesman.”

Tell it like it is, António: ‘climate disaster, death sentence, insanity, inconsistent with human survival’. Thank goodness for chocolate and birds.

Was any progress made at the last COP meeting in Egypt?

Were there game-changing, climate-action breakthroughs or was it simply more talk culminating in yet another failure (Greta Thunberg’s ‘Blah, blah, blah’)?

Ukraine will struggle to make good on its promise to drive Russian forces out of its former territory, US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley stated on Friday. While civilian officials in Washington insist that Kiev must keep fighting, Milley has repeatedly questioned the chances of success.

“President Biden, President Zelensky, and most of the leaders of Europe have said this war is likely to end in a negotiation,” Milley said during a meeting of the US-led Defense Contact Group at Ramstein Air Base in Germany on Friday. “From a military standpoint, this is a very, very difficult fight,” he added.
