There is every reason to believe that the July 29 bombing of a detention center holding Ukrainian POWs was carried out on Kiev’s orders

Aug 2, 2022, RT.com

-by Eva K Bartlett

It was extremely difficult to witness the charred and twisted remains of Ukrainian POWs in the Yelenovka detention center at first hand. The stench of death was overwhelming. Bodies remained in the ruins and melted into the metal bunk beds they were on at the time of the bombing.

Other corpses, presumably killed by shrapnel instead of burning to death, lay outside. A soldier was inspecting them, presumably in order to determine the exact cause, and the victims’ identities. Even if the Ukrainian side killed its own soldiers, it was the Russians who took care to identify the remains.

I shared some of the gruesome photos and my thoughts on Twitter immediately after getting back from Yelenovka.

The next morning, I went around Donetsk to document the extremely dangerous “petal” mines Ukraine has dropped on the city. According to DPR Emergency Services, eight civilians had been killed by these mines just the day before. If you step on one of these tiny-but powerful-explosives, chances it will merely tear off a leg instead of outright killing you. And they are insidiously toy-like in appearance, likely to attract children’s attention.

Who benefits from the war crime at Yelenovka?

Ukraine and Western media, as would be expected, blame Russia for the bombing of Yelenovka detention center, which killed 53 people. Russia and the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), in turn, point the finger at Kiev.

In addition to those killed, the 2am bombing, which DPR officials say was carried out using American-supplied HIMARS, injured at least eight employees and over 70 POWs held there. The prisoners were captured Ukrainian combatants, mainly members of the Azov neo-Nazi militia who’d surrendered in Mariupol in May.

If HIMARS, or High-Mobility Artillery Rocket System, were indeed the source of the destruction and death, then it is almost certain it was Ukraine who bombed the prison, given that Kiev had the coordinates and is the only side in the conflict that possesses such weapons. Even the Pentagon admits it is possible, albeit characterizing the strike as “unintentional.”

From a logical perspective, Russia had no motivation to bomb the prison. For Ukraine, on the other hand, these POWs represented a liability, in that they could testify to the alleged war crimes they committed against Donbass civilians.

Ukraine has made a litany of claims meant to incriminate Russia throughout the current conflict –the Bucha massacre, the strike on the Mariupol maternity hospital, the Ghost of Kiev hoax, the supposed mass graves of civilians, the outlandish false allegations of Russian soldiers committing sexual crimes, which even saw the former Ukrainian Parliamentary Commissioner for Human Rights fired by Kiev’s own parliament.

Russia has invited the UN and the International Red Cross to investigate the Yelenovka prison bombing. Meanwhile, observers online have used the publicly available data to put together a picture of what occurred. Here’s an insightful analysis from the Rybar Telegram channel (with more than 627,000 followers), specializing in military analytics:

“The eastern part of the building suffered the most damage, where a powerful fire and explosion occurred, which blew out the windows.” Judging by the angle of impact, the analyst concludes that “the shooting was carried out from the trajectory of Marinka-Kurakhovo –the Sergeevka triangle– Pokrovsk-Udachnoe.” This is Ukrainian-controlled territory. The analysis could not conclude whether HIMARS was used, from the information at hand.

Along the ‘who benefits?’ line of thinking, a number of circumstances also point to Kiev. These have also been pointed out by Russian observers and compiled into a chronology. The captured Azov Nazis were taken to the Yelenovka detention center in late May. While prisoner exchanges between Ukraine and Russia have included Azov fighters, there is a strong opposition to handing them back over to Kiev, meaning that there’s no guarantee that they would be exchanged in the future – potentially making them a liability to Kiev. By June 20 reports of Ukraine shelling the prison already appeared on Russian channels watching the conflict. On July 28 the confession of an Azov member emerged, claiming that neo-Nazis in Kharkov and Kiev had direct orders from Zelensky’s office to torture and murder Russian prisoners of war. Late that night/early next morning, Ukraine struck the very detention center holding the Azov member who confessed, as well as others who might have done so.

Elsewhere, other neo-Nazis in captivity have confessed to deliberately murdering civilians, a PR disaster for Ukraine, made worse were the prisoners in Yelenovka to follow suit.

Last but not least, just two days before the Yelenovka strike, the US Senate passed a resolution urging the State Department to recognize Russia as a “sponsor of terrorism.” By perpetrating an attack and blaming it on Moscow, Kiev could be aiming to push that decision through – even though the State Department is reportedly reluctant.

Given Ukraine’s multiple attempts to incriminate Russia, and eight years of bombing Donbass civilians, killing their own soldiers is not too far-fetched. In fact, surrendered Ukrainian soldiers have claimed their commanders threatened to shoot them if they attempted desertion, and indeed Ukrainian nationalists firing on them when they attempted to surrender, in one case killing or wounding dozens .

It is left to Russian and DPR doctors to preserve the lives of Ukrainian POWs – even those apparently injured by friendly fire. Outside a Donetsk hospital after the Yelenovka bombing, one of the doctors working on wounded Ukrainians said that five had already had successful surgery for their shrapnel wounds, and two more were to undergo operations.

“It doesn’t matter which side you’re on, we will help you,” he said.

The ghastly scenes of charred flesh and shrapnel-studded bodies I saw at the prison will remain etched in my mind for a long time. Yes, war is ugly, but Ukraine is upping the ante when it comes to both war crimes and hypocrisy.

Warning: below are extremely graphic images, which I’ve blurred slightly, but still, not for the weak of stomach.

PELOSI LANDS IN TAIWAN, CHINA THREATENS WW3

Whatever the reasons behind Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s shocking visit to Taiwan, one thing is clear, the Chinese Communist Party appears to be irked enough to push the world to the brink of WW3.

The Chinese mainland, under the control of the CCP has long insisted that Taiwan belongs to them. The US has always stopped short of recognizing Taiwan as a separate entity, but never the less has strong ties to the Democratically run Taiwan. Taiwan regularly drills to prepare for a potential war with China.

China has threatened to respond forcefully to Pelosi’s visit, which to Beijing is seen as a an act of war.

What will China’s response be?

At the time of the writing of this article the CCP has positioned tanks on its beaches near the Taiwan Straight for a potential amphibious assault as well as sending its battleships in a bid to surround the island. China may in fact attack in the coming days – sparking a far wider war with the USA and the West at a time when the USA is at its weakest – crippled by inflation and a lack of leadership.

Unfortunately, between Russia’s war in Ukraine and a potential wide ranging conflict in South-East Asia, WW3 appears to be upon us.

Comments about Newton from Michael Drosnin's book "The Bible Code":-

Isaac Newton was the first modern scientist; he worked out the mechanics of the solar system and discovered the force of gravity. He was certain, too, that there was a hidden code in The Bible that would reveal the future. He learned Hebrew, and spent half his life trying to find it.

In fact, according to his biographer John Maynard Keynes, it became an obsession. When Keynes became provost at Cambridge University, he discovered there the papers that Newton had packed up in 1696 when he had retired as provost.

Keynes was shocked. Most of the million words in Newton's own handwriting were not about mathematics or astronomy, but esoteric theology. They revealed that the great physicist believed there was hidden in The Bible a prophecy of human history.

Newton, said Keynes, was certain The Bible, indeed the whole Universe, was a 'cryptogram set by The Almighty', and wanted to 'read the riddle of The Godhead, the riddle of past and future events Divinely Foreordained'.

Newton was still searching for The Bible code when he died. But his lifetime quest failed no matter what mathematical model he applied.

"God's Truths are hidden from the wise (intellectuals) and are revealed unto babes." JAH

One discovery that had eluded Newton was made recently by Eliyahu Rips because he had the one essential tool that Newton lacked - a computer. The hidden text of The Bible was encoded with a kind of time-lock*. Some of the text, which was encoded using a numerical code, could not be opened until the computer had been invented.

Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and "seal" the Book (Rev. 5:1-5), [even] to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and [evil] knowledge (1 Tim. 6:20) shall be increased.

Comments about Newton from James Redfield's book - the Celestine Vision.

Isaac Newton was a great physicist, but, as many current thinkers have declared, he shortchanged the universe by reducing it to a secular machine, describing it as operating only according to unwavering mechanistic laws. The seventeenth-century philosopher René Descartes preceded Newton by popularizing the idea that all we need to know about the Universe is its basic laws, and that while these operations might have been first pushed into motion by a creator, they now function totally on their own. After Newton and Descartes, any contention that there is an active spiritual force in the universe or that higher spiritual experience is anything other than hallucination was too often dismissed out of hand (but not by Isaac Newton - JAH ).

This old mechanistic worldview has been discredited since the early decades of the twentieth century, chiefly through the influence of Albert Einstein, the pioneers of quantum physics, and the newer research on prayer and intentionality. But the prejudices of mechanistic worldview linger in our consciousness, guarded by an extreme skepticism that serves to screen-out the more subtle spiritual perceptions that would challenge its assumptions.

Understanding how this works is important. In most cases, to experience higher spiritual experience, we must be at least open to the possibility that such perception exists. We know now that one actually has to suspend or "bracket" skepticism (and intellectualising) and try in every way possible to open up to spiritual phenomena (as a little child) in order to experience them. We must "knock on the door", as it has been expressed in Scripture, before any of these spiritual experiences can even be detected at all.

If we approach spiritual experience with a mind that is too closed and doubting, we perceive nothing and thereby prove to ourselves, quite erroneously and repeatedly, that higher spiritual experience is a myth. For centuries, we cast out these perceptions not because they weren't real, but because at the time, we didn't want them to be real. They didn't fit into our secular view of the world.

A MATERIALISTIC UNIVERSE

The first scientific picture about how this outer world operated was created by Isaac Newton, who pulled together the views of the early astronomers into a model of the universe as stable and predictable. The mathematics of Newton suggested that the larger world operated according to unchanging natural laws, laws that could be counted on and used in practical ways.

Descartes had already made the case that the universe in its entirety - the orbiting of the Earth and other planets around the Sun, the circulation of the animal and plant species - all worked together like one great cosmic machine or clockworks, always reliable and totally devoid of mystical influence.

Newton's mathematics seemed to prove it so. And once this holistic picture was established in physics, everyone believed that the other disciplines of science had merely to fill in the details, discover the mini-processes, the smaller levers and springs that made the great clock run. As this began to occur, science became more and more specialized in its approach to mapping out the physical universe, dividing into ever smaller subdivisions and going into greater detail in naming and explaining the world around us.

Cartesian dualism and Newtonian physics established a philosophical position that was quickly embraced as the reigning worldview for the modern age. This view further advocated an empirical skepticism in which nothing about the universe should be believed unless it was shown by quantitative experiment to exist without question.

"...for as God uses the help of our reason to illuminate us, so should we likewise turn it every way, that we may be more capable of understanding His mysteries; provided only that the mind be enlarged, according to its capacity, to the grandeur of the mysteries, and not the mysteries contracted to the narrowness of the mind." Francis Bacon.

Following Francis Bacon, science became ever more secular and pragmatic in its orientation and moved further away from the deeper issues of mankind's spiritual life and purpose. If pressed, scientists would refer to a deistic notion of God, a deity that first pushed the Universe into operation, leaving it ever afterward to operate totally by mechanical means. This is exactly what occurred in the blind allegiance to the Newtonian paradigm. Kuhn's thesis also illuminated the problem of personal investment in science, revealing the way scientists often make their careers from particular discoveries, usually at universities or private institutes, and then tend to defend these theoretical positions - seeing them as the source of their personal status - against newcomers with different ideas, even if these ideas are objectively better; more complete and even factual rather than theoretical .

Newton imagined the world as operating by purely physical processes of machinelike nature, without mental or mystical influence of any kind. By following this paradigm, all the other sciences and subdisciplines had set out to label and explain all the parts and basic processes of the world.

Further comments from "The Bible Code":-

A Newtonian explanation is: 'Science accepts that if we know the position of every molecule and atom, we can foresee everything.'

In the mechanical world, if we know the position and velocity of an object - a bullet or a rocket to Mars - then we could also know precisely when and where it will arrive. So there's no problem in that sense about knowing the future.

But the world was created. The Creator is not confined by time or space. For us the future is non-existent. For The Creator, the whole universe from beginning to end (Revelation / Apocalypse 1:8) was seen in one stroke.

There is no way within the known laws of mathematics to explain seeing the future. Newtonian physics is too simple to explain a set of predictions as complex and detailed as God's Prophecies. Quantum physics is also not enough. What we're talking about here is some super intelligence that stands outside these things.

In the end, all conventional science , indeed all conventional concepts of reality, may be irrelevant (1 Timothy 6:20*). If some Being that stands outside the system , outside our three dimensions, outside of time, encoded The Bible, the code may not obey any of our laws (Deuteronomy 4:2**), scientific or otherwise.

*** 1 Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane [and] vain babblings, and OPPOSITIONS OF SCIENCE (knowledge) FALSELY SO CALLED:

** Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall NOT add unto the word which I COMMAND you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep The COMMANDMENTS of The "I AM" your God which I COMMAND you.

Once we admit that we are not alone - that there is some super-intelligence infinitely beyond our own - everything else must be re-examined and even the greatest scientist of our time, Albert Einstein, never accepted that the universe was governed by chance. 'Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing,' said Einstein. 'But an inner voice (God) tells me that it is not yet the real thing. The theory says a lot, but does not really bring us any closer to the secret of the "Old One" (The only True Reality - Koran Sura 22:6; etc.*).

* Sura 22:6. This is so, because "I AM" is the Reality: it is He Who gives life to the dead, and it is He Who has power over all things.
22:62. That is because "I AM" - He is the Reality; and those besides Him whom they invoke,- they are but vain Falsehood: verily "I AM" is He, Most High, Most Great.
23:116. Therefore exalted be "I AM", The King, The Reality: there is no God but He, the Lord of the Throne of Honour!
31:30. That is because "I AM" is the (ONLY) Reality, and because whatever else they invoke besides Him is Falsehood (and therefore Fantasy); and because "I AM",- He is the Most High, Most Great.
40:69. Seest thou not those that dispute concerning the Signs of "I AM"? How are they turned away (from Reality)?-
40:70. Those who reject the Book (Bible) and the (Revelations) with which We sent our Apostles: but soon shall they know,-

'God,' said Einstein (the Believer) , 'does not play dice.' (and neither should you, with your lives - JAH).

We have always thought of The Bible as a book. We now know that was only its first incarnation. It is also a computer-program. Not merely a book that Eliyahu Rips typed into a computer, but something that its Original Author actually designed to be interactive and ever-expanding.

The Bible code may be a timed series of revelations, each designed for the technology of its age (Daniel 12:4*).

* Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and "seal" the Book (Revelation/Apocalypse 5:1-5), [even] to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and [evil] knowledge (1 Timothy 6:20) shall be increased.

No one can explain how the code was created. Every modern scientist, every mathematician and physicist who understands the code, agrees that not even the fastest super-computers we have today - not even all of the computers now in the world working together - could have encoded The Bible in the way it was done 3,000 years ago (or prophesied the future in exact and minute detail within its pages, utilising either word or numerical codes . - JAH)

Epilogue from JAH:-

Newton and all of the scientists have attempted to find answers by using mathematics or intellectualising instead of by getting to know God personally and then requesting and receiving answers directly from Him by Divine revelation through child-like faith and loving personal contact, as He has instructed everyone to do, and so these great scientists have always failed to understand the secrets of God.

"God's Truths are hidden from the wise (intellectuals) and are revealed unto babes." JAH

27 Chinese warplanes enter Taiwans air defence zone after Pelosis

NancyDrewberry · 4 August 2022 22:08

Is the lack of a military response in accordance with the Chinese rhetoric of a destructive retaliation to Pelosi's visit to Taiwan indicative of a weakening CCP?

Pelosi’s Taiwan trip puts the world’s biggest chipmaker back in the spotlight of U.S.-China rivalry

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Taiwan trip has once again shone a spotlight on the island’s critical role in the global chip supply chain and in particular on TSMC.
TSMC manufacturers semiconductors for technology giants such as Apple and Nvidia.
Pelosi met with TSMC Chairman Mark Liu, in a sign of how critically important semiconductors are to U.S. national security and the integral role that the company plays in making the most advanced chips.

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may have left Taiwan but the visit has cast a spotlight once again on the island’s critical role in the global chip supply chain and in particular on the world’s biggest chipmaker, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., or TSMC.

The controversial visit, which angered Beijing, saw Pelosi meet with TSMC Chairman Mark Liu, in a sign of how critically important semiconductors are to U.S. national security and the integral role that the company plays in making the most advanced chips.

Semiconductors, which go into everything from our smartphones to cars and refrigerators, have become a key part of the U.S. and China’s rivalry over technology in the past few years. More recently, a shortage of semiconductors has spurred the U.S. to try to catch up with Asia and maintain a lead over China in the industry.

Top Taiwanese official in missle defense died of a heart attack a few days after Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan.

Top Taiwan defence research expert, 57, who was in charge of missile production is found dead in his hotel room 'of a heart attack' amid fresh tensions with China

The deputy head of Taiwan defence ministry's research and development unit was found dead on Saturday morning in a hotel room, succumbing to a heart attack, according to the official Central News Agency.

Ou Yang Li-hsing, deputy head of the military-owned National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST), had died in a hotel room in southern Taiwan.

Authorities said 57-year-old Ou Yang died of a heart attack and the hotel room showed no sign of any 'intrusion', CNA said.

His family said he had a history of heart disease and had a cardiac stent, according to the report.

Ou Yang was on a business trip to the southern county of Pingtung and he had assumed the post early this year to supervise various missile production projects.

China Just Made A Move That Could Literally Provoke A Major War With The US

If the Chinese don’t end their blockade of Taiwan, the Biden administration will be under immense pressure to respond. So let us hope that cooler heads prevail in China and that a decision is soon made to end the pointless “military exercises” that the Chinese are currently conducting. When the live-fire drills were first announced, we were told that they would last for only four days. That was supposed to be it. On Monday, they were supposed to go home. But that didn’t happen. Instead, on Monday the Chinese announced that the military exercises in the waters off Taiwan would be extended, and no new end date was given…

China said Monday it was extending threatening military exercises surrounding Taiwan that have disrupted shipping and air traffic and substantially raised concerns about the potential for conflict in a region crucial to global trade.

The exercises would include anti-submarine drills, apparently targeting U.S. support for Taiwan in the event of a potential Chinese invasion, according to social media posts from the eastern leadership of China’s ruling Communist Party’s military arm, the People’s Liberation Army.

This move by China crosses a very important line.

The Chinese have essentially established a “maritime and aerial blockade” around Taiwan, but it was only supposed to last from Thursday to Sunday…

The Chinese military designated six closure areas, one of which is merely 12 miles from Taiwan’s southern shipping hub of Kaohsiung. Beijing also warned commercial airliners to avoid wide swaths of airspace around Taiwan, in what amounts to a no-fly zone over major flight routes. Even though China portrays this as a step short of total encirclement, Taiwan’s defense ministry describes it as “a maritime and aerial blockade.”

A four day blockade wouldn’t have been that big of a deal.

But a full blown “maritime and aerial blockade” that lasts for weeks or even months is clearly an act of war.

Taiwan relies on food and essential supplies from the outside world. If commerce is severely restricted or cut off completely, life on the island will radically change.

And the pressure on the Biden administration to “do something” will become enormous.

Of course it is still possible that the Chinese could decide to go home at some point this week.

And let us hope that actually happens.

But right now both sides continue to escalate matters.

For example, in response to the Chinese “drills”, the Taiwanese have decided to conduct live-fire exercises of their own…

Meanwhile, Taiwan’s official Central News Agency reported that Taiwan’s army will conduct live-fire artillery drills in southern Pingtung county on Tuesday and Thursday, in response to the Chinese exercises.

The drills will include snipers, combat vehicles, armored vehicles as well as attack helicopters, said the report, which cited an anonymous source.

That certainly won’t ease tensions.

And members of the U.S. Senate are publicly calling for more economic and military aid for Taiwan…

In an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) backed the House speaker’s travel to Taiwan and tied the two foreign policy issues together — warning that China is watching how the U.S. continues to respond to Russia’s attack on Ukraine as the war nears its sixth month.

Graham directed his message directly at China and pushed for the passage of the bipartisan Taiwan Policy Act, which is aimed at bolstering Taiwan economically and militarily.

The Chinese are going to interpret this as a threat. It has become quite obvious that many prominent members of Congress consider Taiwan to be analogous to Ukraine, and that is definitely not going to help matters.

On top of everything else, it has been announced that U.S. forces will actually be participating in war games very close to India’s disputed border with China later this year…

The US will participate in war games with the Indian military in an area of India that is less than 62 miles away from the country’s disputed border with China, known as the Line of Actual Control (LAN).

The drills will be held from October 18-31 and will be the eighteenth iteration of annual exercises between the two militaries known as Yudh Abhyas, which is Hindi for “war practice.” They will be held in the Auli area of the Indian state of Uttarakhand in the Himalayas mountain range.

For years, I have been relentlessly warning that a war with China was coming, but my hope is that cooler heads will prevail and that this current crisis can be resolved peacefully.

Because a shooting war with China would instantly change all of our lives for the worse.

If we go to war with China, shipments of the thousands upon thousands of products that we currently receive from China would immediately cease.

And if the Pacific Ocean becomes a war zone, trade with other Asian powers such as Japan and South Korea would be paralyzed as well.

In addition, Taiwan produces more of our microchips than everyone else in the world combined…

In particular, Taiwan’s position in the world of semiconductor manufacturing is a bit like Saudi Arabia’s status in OPEC. TSMC has a 53% market share of the global foundry market (factories contracted to make chips designed in other countries). Other Taiwan-based manufacturers claim a further 10% of the market.

As a result, the Biden administration’s 100-Day Supply Chain Review Report says, “The United States is heavily dependent on a single company – TSMC – for producing its leading-edge chips.” The fact that only TSMC and Samsung (South Korea) can make the most advanced semiconductors (five nanometres in size) “puts at risk the ability to supply current and future [US] national security and critical infrastructure needs”.

If China invades Taiwan, the global flow of microchips would permanently be reduced to a trickle.

I don’t think that I even have the words to describe what that would do to the global economy.

The stakes are incredibly high, and our leaders should be doing all that they can to avoid a needless war with the Chinese.

Unfortunately, our leaders are not exactly what you would call “competent” at this point, and we could soon find ourselves involved in pointless conflicts with the Russians and the Chinese at the same time.

US, Iran may be close to sealing new nuclear deal

The escalation of global tensions as a result of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, China-Taiwan stand-off, the medical and economic crises, and the exchanges between the Israeli state and the militant Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement has overshadowed the Iran nuclear deal talks.

Is reviving the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action still on the table? Maybe it is no longer a breaking news story, but the Iranian regime and the US administration are definitely still trying to resurrect the 2015 agreement. On Thursday, a sudden call was made to all the international negotiating parties to resume the nuclear talks with Iran.

In fact, the indirect Vienna talks between Tehran and Washington had already begun, with a meeting between Iran’s top nuclear negotiator Ali Bagheri Kani and the EU’s European External Action Service Deputy Secretary-General Enrique Mora. The latter returned to his shuttling between Bagheri Kani and US special envoy to Iran Robert Malley.

In an op-ed published by the Financial Times late last month, EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell revealed that he had presented a new framework to relaunch the JCPOA.

It may indeed be the happy ending that the leaders of Iran and the US wish for if what the BBC published is proven true. It reported that an anonymous European official stated that Tehran’s demand for Washington to remove the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from its official blacklist of “foreign terrorist organizations” had been dropped from the discussions and would instead be dealt with “in the future.” The source also revealed to the BBC that Washington would guarantee that no future US president could withdraw from the new deal.

However, the government in Tehran must realize that the US is a democratic country whose president is elected by its citizens. Therefore, no law obliges any future president not to cancel any agreement reached by a former leader.

The Iranians are clever enough to be well aware of this fact, but it does not matter what happens in the future, as long as it receives billions of dollars once the sanctions against this rogue state are lifted. As long as the Democrats are in power, nothing terrible will ever happen to them.

In the meantime, Tehran would be able to equip the IRGC to become the most significant force in the region, which would destabilize the already fragile security of some of Washington’s major allies.

During a meeting in Tehran on Saturday, IRGC head Maj. Gen. Hossein Salami told Ziad Nakhaleh, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s general-secretary, that his country was committed to supporting the movement until the end. Salami said that “all the anti-Zionist” capabilities “are on the scene in a united formation working to liberate Jerusalem and uphold the rights of the Palestinian people.”

How can Biden turn a blind eye to all the strategic threats of the Iranian regime unless there are reasons directly related to his unsecure position inside the US?
Prior to his departure to the Austrian capital, Malley posted on Twitter that he was preparing to resume the talks. “Our expectations are in check, but the United States welcomes EU efforts and is prepared for a good faith attempt to reach a deal. It will shortly be clear if Iran is prepared for the same,” his post read.
Meanwhile, the Iranian regime had been sending signals through various channels that Washington should be aware that the upcoming hours in Vienna could be decisive.
The Tehran Times quoted an anonymous Iranian diplomat as saying that the stability of an agreement lies in its balance. “Confidence for confidence. The alleged safeguards-related issues were created and had been continuing with political pressure and are political in nature. They must not be a pretext for future abuse against Iran,” the source said.
Iran gave Biden a deadline to increase the built-in pressure before the midterm elections, while the White House has been facing challenges left and right. If Malley’s team acquiesces to Iran’s demands, the gates of hell will be opened in the region. The result will harm many of Biden’s allies, while Tehran and its proxy militias will be the biggest winners. US, Iran may be close to sealing new nuclear deal | Arab News

Davos Plans To Starve A Billion People To Death

I don’t see how we could possibly be stupider here in the West unless we took courses in stupidity. Jordan Peterson.

The following are some quotes from a recent Jordan Peterson video:

The World Economic Forum at Davos says 1.2 billion people will be forced to migrate. Lara Logan

The WEF (World Economic Forum) wants to build a tri-state “Smart City” out of farm land taken from the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany to be populated by tens of millions of immigrants from around the world. Michael Yon

One billion people will starve to death by 2025. Michael Yon

Kill a billion people and force another billion to migrate from their homes in the Third World knowing that the lack of food combined with massive migration will lead to a pandemic. Perhaps, even the one that Bill Gates predicted.

In their discussion Peterson and Yon lay much of the blame for the coming mass starvation and mass migration to Neo-Liberal fantasies about climate, carbon dioxide and nitrogen. They did heatedly discuss Mark Rutte and his war against Dutch farmers.

Wageningen University in the Netherlands is probably the best agricultural school in the world. In 2019 the Dutch were the second largest exporters of food worldwide. They did tell their academics that their research would be restricted to improving Dutch farming productivity, not allowed would be studies on the history of Alpacas prior to the Spanish era in South America. The Dutch grew 890,000 pounds of tomatoes per acre in greenhouses. In the past they sent lots of food to Britain, the EU and elsewhere.

That was until NATO (or really the US) tried to implement their pipe dream of establishing a first strike nuclear capability by moving their missile launching pads ever closer to the Russian border, maybe even near those 26 biolabs.

The latest step on the path to mass starvation was taken by Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte when he announced his new goal – reducing nitrogen emissions 50% by 2030.

PM Rutte, who is also a member of the Bilderberg Society, said that Holland would be coordinating their farm policies with the World Economic Forum. WEF believes that our present system of growing food is fragmented which means that there are too many farmers making too many decisions and that all decision making should reside in Davos and maybe the UN.

It should be pointed out that the Bilderberg Society was founded by the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers. David Rothkopf, the former CEO of Kissinger Associates, wrote Superclass in 2006 in which he said the West was ruled by 30 Families and their 6,000 Minions. Our climate policies which designates carbon dioxide and now nitrogen to be pollutants would not stand serious debate if those 6,000 Minions allowed us to have free and open debate on climate change or anything else that mattered.
