fretting for war.....NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg warned Friday that he fears a full-blown war between Russia and NATO is a “real possibility” in a rare acknowledgment of the dangers of backing Ukraine. “I fear that the war in Ukraine will get out of control, and spread into a major war between NATO and Russia,” he said, according to The Telegraph. “If things go wrong, they can go horribly wrong.”

angela's self immolation.....THE AMERICAN EMPIRE PROPAGANDA TECHNIQUES WERE FULLY EXPOSED FOR ALL TO SEE ON THE FABRICATION OF “SADDAM HAS GOT WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION” MANTRA. HE DID NOT HAVE… WE HAVE EXPOSED THE TRICK OVER AND OVER. WE KNEW THAT BY 2002, BEFORE THE WAR ON IRAQ, THAT THE WHOLE CHARADE HAD BEEN CONCOCTED, FABRICATED AND SOLD BY THE US “INTELLIGENCE” AGENCIES (MOSTLY THE CIA) TO THE MASS MEDIOCRE WESTERN MEDIA THAT BOUGHT THIS MANTRA AS GOSPEL — BECAUSE LET’S NOT BE COY, THE WESTERN MEDIA LOVES WAR. BY THE END, THE MEDIOCRE MASS MEDIA DE MIERDA ALSO BOUGHT THE “INTELLIGENCE FAILURE” DECEIT, WHEN “NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION” WERE EVER FOUND. NOT EVEN A FAKE ONE, NOT EVEN A “PLANT”….
trading dreams.....Once Russia ends the conflict in Ukraine, it should be given a chance to do business with Germany again, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Monday. He repeated that Moscow must and will not win, however. A Russian government that ends the hostilities “needs a chance to restart economic cooperation, in another time when this is possible,” Scholz said in Berlin, at a meeting of the Eastern Committee for German Business (OA), a trade association focused on relations with Eastern Europe. “Now is not that time.”

is america on the way to ingenuity again?......Turning fusion power into a viable clean energy alternative is seen as key to maintaining human civilization’s present electrical use amid efforts to rapidly end the use of fossil fuels, which emit poisonous chemicals that are driving the climate change crisis. US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm has confirmed media rumors, revealing that the department is preparing a big announcement concerning nuclear fusion energy on Tuesday.
According to US media reports, the scientists working on the project at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory created a fusion reaction with a net gain for the first time.
housing crisis in aussieland.....House values in a string of sought-after Sydney suburbs have dropped more than 20 per cent over the past year, new figures show, and declines in some pockets of Melbourne and Brisbane are not far behind. Popular inner-city and coastal Sydney suburbs have had median values plummet this year as consecutive interest rate hikes and affordability constraints reined in buyer demand and spending power. The 10 largest house value drops nationally were all in Sydney suburbs, CoreLogic’s annual Best of the Best report, released on Tuesday, shows. House values fell 26.8 per cent in Narrabeen over the year to November 30, to a median just shy of $2,593,000.
the train on platform 17 is not going anywhere.....THE FIRST WORKERS STRIKE IS CATALOGUED BY THE GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS AS HAVING HAPPENED IN 1153 BC IN EGYPT. THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA (YEAR BOOK 1981 — A GREAT YEAR FOR GUS) MENTIONS THE EARLIEST RECORD BEING IN 309 BC WHEN THE MEMBERS OF A GREEK ORCHESTRA WENT ON A STRIKE LED BY ARISTOS, THE BAND CONDUCTOR, IN ROME. ONE MUST KNOW THAT CRITICS HATED "MUSICK" OR DERIDED THE FLUTE, EVEN BEFORE PLUTARCH, AS WELL AS AFTER…

dissent in the military — a comparison....Moscow: Some Russian officers fighting in Ukraine are unhappy with the military top brass and President Vladimir Putin because of the poor execution of the war, an influential nationalist Russian blogger said after visiting the conflict zone. Nearly 10 months since Putin ordered troops into Ukraine, there is no end in sight to the deadliest conflict in Europe since World War II.

and the rich will get richer......WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US investment guru Jim Rogers told Sputnik that the world should brace for serious economic challenges in the next two-three years, which will likely become the "worst in his lifetime." When asked about his forecast for the year of 2023, Rogers stated, "You should be worried." "There's going to be a period of good, something will cause optimism to return," Rogers said. "After the optimism, you should be extremely worried because we're going to have economic problems again sometime in the next two or three years and they will probably be the worst in my lifetime because there's so much debt. So much debt worldwide has built up since 2009. So the next time we have a problem, it's going to be very very bad. So, be worried."
your daily news is rotten.......THE WESTERN MEDIA IS VILE. EVEN “THE NEW DAILY” IN AUSTRALIA IS A BLANCMANGE APOLOGIST FOR THE EMPIRE. I COULD BE WRONG BUT IT APPEARS THE NEW DAILY, TRYING TO BE A DECENT ONLINE NEWS OUTLET HAS FALLEN TO THE NEWS SUPPLIED BY THE “NEWS AGENCIES” THAT CONTROL THE EMPIRE INFORMATION RABBLE.
YES, THE NEW DAILY HAS SOME GREAT COMMENTATORS, OPINIONATORS NOW WITH AVERAGE VIEWS THAT COULD BE SEEN AS “INDEPENDENT” AND/OR RADICAL, BUT THEY WALK AROUND THE PADDOCK WITHOUT QUESTIONING THE GREATER GEOPOLITICAL GAMES. I THINK THAT DOING SO WOULD LOOSE SOME OF THE BOURGEOIS READERSHIP THAT FEEDS THE CASH-FLOW APART FROM THE CRUMMY ADVERTISING ABOUT YOUR SLEEPING HABITS AND YOUR SKIN THAT SHEDS MITES.
singing the national anthems.......Arms dealer Viktor Bout inspired the 2005 film Lord of War. In that movie, a federal agent fanatically pursues the fictional arms dealer “Yuri Orlov,” (Nicholas Cage). In prison, the criminal confidently tells the agent who caught him that he will be released. Orlov is useful. He arms people the US government can’t afford to be seen supporting. He claims that the man at the top of his industry is the President. We are to believe that the top arms dealers in the world are the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. [USA, RUSSIA, FRANCE, UK, CHINA....]
the avoidable war.......Kevin Rudd lives in New York these days, but on November 18, he returned to his former hometown of Brisbane to speak about his most recent book, The Avoidable War: the dangers of a catastrophic conflict between the US and Xi Jinping’s China at Brisbane’s City Hall. Australia’s 26th Prime Minister quit politics after losing the 2013 election, departing to Harvard University, from where he was recruited by the Asia Society, an American institution founded by the Rockefellers in the 1950s.

US sanctions against russia were designed to hurt europe....SANCTIONS AGAINST RUSSIA WERE MOSTLY DEVISED TO FORCE EUROPE TO BENDZEKNEES TO THE AMERICAN EMPIRE. AS WELL ONE COULD THINK THAT FORCING EUROPE TO STOP USING RUSSIAN GAS WAS A PLOY BY THE AMERICAN EMPIRE TO MAKE EUROPE GO "GREEN". FAR FROM THIS. THE RUSSIAN GAS HAD TO BE REPLACED BY US GAS AT FOUR TIMES THE COST, PUSHING THE EU ONTO ITS KNEES. MEANWHILE, THE REAL US EMPIRE — THE PENTAGON — BURNS MORE OIL AND GAS THAN RUSSIA... SO HERE ARE A FEW TAKES ON THE SANCTIONS: FIRST THE UK (NOT IN THE EU NOW BUT STILL SUFFERING FROM THE CAPER): Some 3,300 ‘warm banks’ have been opened across the UK, as millions of people face the prospect of fuel poverty this winter. The Met Office predicts that temperatures could drop to -10 degrees Celsius in some locations over the next week.
fighting the empire-within from within.............THE TRUE AMERICAN EMPIRE ISN’T RUN FROM THE WHITE HOUSE NOR FROM THE US CONGRESS, BUT FROM THE PENTAGON. THIS IS THE EMPIRE WITHIN THE EMPIRE. ON PAPER, THE US MILITARY ASSETS ARE WORTH AROUND 30 TRILLION DOLLARS. ON THE GROUND, THIS WORTH IS LIKE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CLOSED UMBRELLA WHICH DOES NOT STOP THE RAIN AND A FULLY OPENED ONE, WHICH PREVENTS THE SHIT FALLING FROM THE SKY. THIS IS WORTH AT LEAST 120 TRILLION DOLLARS AND IT IS EVERYWHERE TO BE SEEN, TO CONTROL THE PLANET. IN ENGLAND, THE TRUE ENGLISH EMPIRE IS STILL THE CITY OF LONDON THAT CONTROLS THE CASH ON BEHALF OF THE RICH PEOPLE. THEY WILL MAKE THE SECRET DEALS THAT KEEP THINGS ROLLING BEHIND THE SCENE WHILE OFFICIAL “MORAL” POSITIONS ARE EXPRESSED BY THE POLITICIANS, OFTEN CONTRARILY TO THE UNDERGROUND TRENDS.
