I am not sure the president mattered much for 5 or 6 decades, if not longer. One word I have heard used a dozen times this last 10-15 years was the "Interagency". I have heard top US generals say that is ultimately where their loyalty lies.
It almost sounds like the top of the US government has evolved into a communist like "Central Committee".
And the military just laid their you know what on the table, and the CIA/State Dept backed down.
Ritter revisits last weekend in an essay: SCOTT RITTER: 72 Minutes, To quote Nikita Khrushchev, “The survivors would envy the dead.”
..The stage was now set for Keir Starmer, the prime minister of the United Kingdom, to fly to Washington, D.C., last Friday, where he would meet with Biden and jointly agree to give Ukraine permission to use Storm Shadow and ATACMS against targets inside Russia...
..In comments to the media in Russia last Thursday — one day before the Biden-Starmer meeting at the White House — Russian President Vladimir Putin made it clear that any lifting of the restrictions on Ukrainian use of U.S.- and U.K.-provided long-range weapons would change “the very essence of the conflict.” He said:
“This will mean that NATO countries, the United States, European countries are fighting Russia. And if this is the case, then…we will make appropriate decisions in response to the threats that will be posed to us.” ...
..Just to drive the point home, Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations, Vassily Nebenzia, told the Security Council last Friday that NATO would “be a direct party to hostilities against a nuclear power,” if it allowed Ukraine to use longer range weapons against Russia. “You shouldn’t forget about this and think about the consequences,” he declared.
The finishing touches on driving home the seriousness of Putin’s warning was left to the Russian ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov. Speaking to the Russian media also last Friday Antonov said he was surprised that many American officials believed that “if there is a conflict, it will not spread to the territory of the United States of America. I am constantly trying to convey to them one thesis that the Americans will not be able to sit it out behind the waters of this ocean. This war will affect everyone, so we constantly say – do not play with this rhetoric.” ... “Yesterday’s statements from Vladimir Putin were weighed very carefully here. Several ex-officials called me asking to explain what actually stands behind those statements. I simply replied: ‘Don’t play with fire.’”
Antonov’s sentiments were likely echoed through existing back-channel communications used by the Department of Defense and the C.I.A.
In the end, the message got through — Biden pulled back from giving Ukraine the permissions it sought.
Most Americans are unaware about how close they came to waking up Saturday morning, only to find that it was their last.
Had Biden yielded to Starmer’s pressure (the British, together with Ukraine and several NATO nations, believed that Putin was bluffing), and signed off on the permission, Ukraine was prepared to launch strikes on Russia that night. (British soldiers deployed in Ukraine would be needed to operate the Storm Shadows and they are already there, according to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who has refused to send similar weapons to Ukraine.)
Russia would likely have responded with conventional attacks on Kiev using new weapons, such as the Avangard hypersonic warhead, which would each deliver a blow equivalent to 26-28 tons of explosives.
Russia would also most likely have struck NATO targets in Poland and Romania where Ukrainian fighters are based. And, lastly, Russia would have struck British military targets, possibly including those on the British Isles.
This would prompt a NATO retaliation under Article 5, using a large number of NATO long-range strike weapons targeting Russian command and control, airfields, and ammunition storage facilities.
The Russian response would most likely involve the launching of more Avangard conventional warheads against NATO targets, including Ramstein airbase and NATO headquarters, as well as airbases from which strikes against Russia were launched.
At this juncture the United States, using nuclear employment plans derived from a nuclear posture which emphasizes the pre-emptive use of low yield nuclear weapons to “escalate to deescalate”— i.e., force Russia to back down through a demonstration of capability — would authorize the use of one or more low-yield nuclear warheads against Russian targets on Russian soil.
But Russian doctrine has no capacity for engaging in a limited nuclear war. Instead, Russia would respond with a general nuclear retaliation targeting all of Europe and the United States. Whatever U.S. strategic forces that survived this onslaught would be fired at Russia.
2 Hal Turner stories pertain to that Friday 13 morning ("deconfliction message"?) and Monday 9/16:
Above-Ground "Incident" (Explosion) in Washington State, "Sends Message" to US - Device passed Right Over Naval Base Bremerton 9/13/2021
The United States Geological Survey reports an "Other Event" caused the equivalent of a Magnitude 2.7 earthquake, 0.8 km ABOVE ground at 09:12 UTC this morning. Word is this "Other Event" was . . . . an explosion - possibly of a Hypersonic missile --sent as "a message" to the Untied States...
..There are mountains in that area where the "other event" took place at a "Depth" of -0.8km. Yes, that's a minus sign in front of the "Depth" meaning the "Other Event" took place above the ground by about 2,624 feet. Some of the mountains in that area ARE that high. So if a missile hit a mountain at that height, the resulting explosion could very well register as a Magnitude 2.7 earthquake "above" ground.
For a frame of reference, when the World Trade Center in New York City collapsed in the attacks of September 11, 2001, seismographs registered the massive collapse as a Magnitude 2.1 "earthquake." So the fact that this "Other Event" registers stronger . . . . as 2.7 . . . . gives readers an idea of how powerful this "other event" actually was.
There is no visual evidence of any Landslide in that area. There is no major snowpack yet, and so there is no sign of any massive Avalanche.
So what caused this "Other Event" as being reported by the US Geological Survey?
Was it a "message" to the USA over its continued meddling in the Russia-Ukraine conflict?
That was last Friday, then Turner noted this on this past Monday, 9/16/24: 2:57 PM EDT -- Never Been This Many MILITARY Aircraft in-Flight Over USA
As of 2:57 PM eastern US time on September 16, 2024 there are literally HUNDREDS of military aircraft flying over the continental United States (CONUS).
The image above from Ads-B Exchange shows **ONLY** Military Aircraft! ! ! ! ! I am 62 years old and I have never seen this many military in the air in my entire life.
Those of you who think the likelihood of World War 3 is a "nothing burger" or that folks like me who point out where we are heading - right into World War 3 -- somehow makes me "Chicken Little, The Sky is Falling," would do well to wake up and see what is actually taking place.
The US, EU, NATO continue escalating the Russia-Ukraine conflict to the point where Russia has the United Kingdom surrounded by nuclear submarines (Story Here), awaiting orders to attack specific sites in the UK.
At least eleven Russian submarines are off the US East coast (Story Here), as many as nine nuclear-powered cruise missile submarines and 21 diesel-electric attack submarines. off our West Coast from Alaska down to San Diego, CA (Story Here). Several more subs are near the Gulf of Mexico.
Thank you for your passion around this threat to life as we know it... Not much time to simply live life when you are someone so hyper alert to all the threats coming across our horizon. Thank you for what you do, my friend.
Well, nakedly overthrowing Biden via an Orwellian MSM narrative switch on a dime, for having dementia while still keeping him in office for 8 months more, and substituting an undemocratically-chosen successor candidate with a vacuous and shielded presence, certainly DID set a precedent for doing such things right in our faces.
That is correct - in 1963…. Recently we learned that Oswald was a CIA operative — the bipartisan War party desperately defends CIA as institution by hiding assassinationS details (note plural).
I am always reminded of Milgram's experiments. The majority follow authorities even to the point of thinking they may have killed someone. Recently I read, of all things, a comment online where the commenter said these people have no internal dialogue and went at length about it. It struck me as true .
Non Player Character, originally a video game designer's term for the built in characters a human player sees and interacts with but can't play the game as- Those characters which only get to appear as background to do/say what the game's designer had programmed them to.
It’s like if you were playing a video game and went into a bar & the bartender is always pouring a drink and asks “what will it be?” Every single time. Oh wait, I see your profile picture oh awkward…
Nothing coded, unless you consider the plain truth a code.
So Mozart was a freemason. Your point is... what? Someone who composed music was a mason, ergo it's a good thing? lol
I spent decades researching and writing essays about freemasonic involvement in history, including their shepherding of two main revolutions, French and American. How many years have you spent in research to deny my words?
After you have done your homework, if you still wish to refute me, then do so. Until then, I will consider you another neophyte (or worse) with an opinion equivalent to one's backside.
PS: The only reason I mentioned Mozart is that recently I went to, unfortunately poor performance, of Magic Flute, the only opera as saying is, nay have been written by God himself.
Both Mozart and his librettist Schikander were free masons, like thousands of other great people of his time — Magic Flute was composed two years after French revolution and six weeks before Mozart’s death.
I was struck how noble and humane guiding ideas of free masons were and still are — 250 years ago.
Yet your blabbering about our present — after “studying the free masons subject for decades” simply made me to comment….
"State Secretary Blinken and his merry band of Neocons appear to have been sidelined."
Reading the evidence at this point, as admirable a job as you do, is sadly not very useful for the long run. It has become crystal-clear, for those of us not in denial: Neocons are nothing if not ruthlessly and carefully and absolutely persistent, with two steps forward when they calculate insufficient resistance, then one step back temporarily after they cross red lines. This has happened time and time again for many decades. (In US politics, it's how monsters like Bolton et al get into Trump's cabinet, and it's how a monster like Cheney can endorse Harris with Democratic Party approval.) They are NOT going to stop. Ever. Even after they finally get Russia.
At the same time, they are highly sophisticated and "rational", in the sense they know how to get what they want, even if at some point it's bunkers for them and a nuclear-baked earth elsewhere. Really, who knows what these people are capable of doing? I'm confident the end goal (and they're getting there fast) is an entire reordering of the world's population into unwitting masters, slaves, and ashes. As they continue to increase their upper hand, and if you're not doing their bidding -- watch out.
As Alexander Mercouris pointed out, even after one military misadventure (read, "disaster") after another, the "United States has no reverse gear." The neocons -- or whatever damnable agglomeration of entrenched interagency bureaucratic mandarins with private equity shadow bankers and financial superpowers we're talking about here -- they have never demonstrated the capacity to stop, back up and proceed in a different direction. Too much inertia or overinvestment or they simply lack that biological functionality that even that humblest of blind, one-celled organisms, the paramedics, possesses.
Prof. Michael Glennon of Tufts calls it/them "the Trumanite network", to be contrasted with the "Madisonian" one, in his book National Security and Double Government (OUP, 2016), but I like "damnable agglomeration" better.
It’s called the “Luciferian Doctrine” they lie even when the truth would serve them better, they proceed even when their deception is exposed. Such arrogance hubris and pride, but they know how to “fail forward” & insinuate it’s all your fault & what are you going to do about it?
The "crazies in the basement" (per Bush 41) who are now in the West Wing and 10 Downing Street and many other places, some well known and some less so (e.g., Nevis) are basically what we used to call full-on sociopaths (we can't anymore because the term is "unscientific" and is no longer in the DSM. DSM-5 refers, instead to ASPD and other things) - they desire Wealth/Power/Control. Mostly control, and for the sake of control really, not even for more wealth and power.
This goes back to even before Mackinder and his Geographic Pivot of History.
"Old Gimlet Eye", Marine Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler was right, as was Prof. Carroll Quigley (Tragedy & Hope), Bill Clinton's favourite prof at Georgetown, and now more and more folks are realizing it.
A positive I see is that at least now the masks are off. Previously, only a relatively few would have been aware of the Neocons and their disciples/allies/backers/money men. Now, they are pretty much out in the open.
One interesting parallel set of developments is the increasing pace of disclosure re: UAP/NHI. When you have very senior and serious IC folks like Chris Mellon, Adm. Gallaudet, Cdr. Fravor, and Col. Karl Nell saying what they are saying, not to mention folks like Gen. Chaim Eshed, I wonder about what they know that they are *not* saying/allowed to say, what their equivalents in RF and the PRC know on this subject, and how that knowledge is impacting strategies and decisions (by all players) on more "earthly" matters like Ukraine and Taiwan.
I’m of the view that this is a very long game. It has been going on for centuries, probably, and will continue to go on for a long time to come.
Even after disclosure, whenever that happens, I don’t expect much to change. Various groups/factions of elites will continue to fight for wealth, power, and control.
It reads a bit like the Pentagon had suddenly developed a conscience, but it’s more likely that reality had simply overtaken the narrative, eg the narrative that the US saved western democracy in WWII - pure Hollywood! The Eastern front was far more important - and Russia knew it then like they do now. They strategically built up their military capacity between the 2014 coup and the 2022 SMO and consequently revealed the West to be a paper tiger.
The Master Blaster image would be more accurate if the Big Guy/Blaster/World's Policeman/Emperor was depicted with no clothes. Before the Hollywood propaganda shot of US soldiers raising the flag on Iwo Jima in WWII, they carpet bombed this minuscule island for 72 straight days!
Could be just a political kabuki theatre. Otherwise, why on earth would Zelensky fly to Washington to present his peace plan for WW3? The neocons need to wrap the WW3 as a peace plan to save democracy so that the senile majority would happily march towards their demise.
I have listened to you every time you are on Mel K's show. Your analysis on varied big picture matters has been greatly appreciated. My initial anguish was about the 2020 coup here. But, you broadened my perspective that this has been an international plan and trauma for decades. The article above just adds further to this. Of course Mel's "follow the money trail" has also been important in my education/re-education. By the way, your example of the slipper and the grown lions - what a classic on Mel's 9/21/24 interview!
As a result on Saturday, Sept. 14 we were at hairline to formal war with capitalist and democratic Russia which also has a greater internal freedom of information than USA.
It is self-evident both the neocons in Washington and London remain under the illusion they are still masters of the universe and can "create their own reality". Apparently they remain blind to the fact that Russia has won the arms race especially in stand-off weapons (Kinzahls, Zircons, nuclear underwater drones, etc.). and has the strongest, most seasoned army in the world. At least the top brass in the US Armed forces know better. Keir Starmer is still thinking "Perfidious Albion" can maneuver its designated enemies to fight each other and hoping America will destroy itself by protecting the English. Americans are common-sense people who love making a buck; they rarely persist with unprofitable adventures and so far Ukraine has been a bust and getting worse.
This is actually the crux of the modern problem with Totalitarianism, one that I have been arguing for years, with few takers: (1) Humans are necessarily limited and imperfect, and therefore NOTHING is ever settled truth (otherwise, we could get busy closing departments, shuttering universities, and stopping journals), because, at root, there is no fully-accessible truth -- it's ALL belief; and (2) modern Totalitarians, at least, are learned practitioners of the abuse of this very human limitation, and have successfully applied it to engender mass formation psychosis and many other effects in varied subpopulations.
People of all political beliefs and intelligence levels have an extremely hard time with this, thinking that *unimpeachable* truth is always discoverable, at least given enough time and effort, and that they can "possess" it. But, they can't. This "inconvenient truth" is the very basis of democracy, open science, and adversarial justice. If public discourse (and the entire West) is to become civil again, we'd better re-learn that humility, a hard-won achievement of the Enlightenment.
All supposed "known truth" is simply the consensus of the esteemed, the intelligent, etc. and held by significant majorities. But now, the new-and-improved version is completely bifurcated into Left and Right! How can that be? Because, at root, it's *still* all belief, especially the more complex forms, and can in theory be overturned at any future point. Merely look at the longer (i.e. centuries) history of conventional wisdom, both in wider populations as well as narrow, sophisticated knowledge.
The key word is Illusion/delusion. The black pillers posting here-- " oh it will always be this way etc etc" do not go back far enough in history to see that not only is that not true but we are coming into a new paradigm where that kind of Neo-con push will not be tolerated or accepted by a multi power world. Everything is changing💗
interesting - yes - I heard this too of course from Col Wilkerson and Judge Napolitano - I saw it on this link - https://twitter.com/GhostofBPH/status/1836957071989706934 - and the same hour I heard from a friend - who has a friend in the US military - that it was happening....but this source said it was only for a couple of weeks. I hope its long term I've been thinking for a while that the US needed a military coup
thanks, also meant, fewer people to participate in a coup....I suppose most of the upper brass are jabbed as well....we are much weakened, militarily. And no one to blame but 'us'...that jabbed 'em.
The clue came when the psycho cabbage snarled at the British reporters, he was not in happy bunny mode no matter what pills he was on.
First he was kicked from standing again, and then the Pentagon steps in to to say "No WW3 fucker".
Hard to see Austin having a spine, so this must have come from below.
Alex, when you say "London", you are forgetting that NATO is itself a multi-Bn lobbyist, much of the dark funds used to bury Corbyn's Run came drectly from NATO sources through such entities as Integrity Initiative. "London" wouldn't be behaving the same if his victory hadn't been undermined by rigged elections.
Thanks again for another forensic analysis, Alex. This is massive. I appreciate that it requires time, dogged persistence, substantial background knowledge (that isn't readily found in our run-of-the mill history books), and the vetting and sussing of information from various sources (your bullshitometer appears to be finely calibrated). Your report now begs the question: WHO is (are) the masked crusader (s) who executed the coup and WHAT weapons did they wield to get those psychopaths to stand down? If you come across any such information, or any intel that points in a certain direction, please share!
I am not sure the president mattered much for 5 or 6 decades, if not longer. One word I have heard used a dozen times this last 10-15 years was the "Interagency". I have heard top US generals say that is ultimately where their loyalty lies.
It almost sounds like the top of the US government has evolved into a communist like "Central Committee".

Was it a "message" to the USA over its continued meddling in the Russia-Ukraine conflict?

FFS Hal Turner? The internet's own tabloid rag. For example this "Our meddling in Ukraine has cost the Russians over half a million men"....
He talks rubbish.
What about that seismic data?
Thank you for your passion around this threat to life as we know it... Not much time to simply live life when you are someone so hyper alert to all the threats coming across our horizon. Thank you for what you do, my friend.
I get outside every day. I have lots of gardening and landscape work to do, and I get a bike ride in for an hour or more most days.
Thanks for your concern. I do spend a lot of time scanning the horizon for threats and developments, with the intention to be of service to life.
Maybe this group of neocons that have been running and ruining this country, finally got confronted? https://intelligencer.today/the-council-who-is-running-the-united-states-of-america/18/07/2024/8132/
"Did we just have a palace coup in Washington?"
Well, nakedly overthrowing Biden via an Orwellian MSM narrative switch on a dime, for having dementia while still keeping him in office for 8 months more, and substituting an undemocratically-chosen successor candidate with a vacuous and shielded presence, certainly DID set a precedent for doing such things right in our faces.
Coup against the USA happened decades ago.
That is correct - in 1963…. Recently we learned that Oswald was a CIA operative — the bipartisan War party desperately defends CIA as institution by hiding assassinationS details (note plural).
True. My point here is that it now happens so brazenly, even NPC idiots are have cognitive dissonance unless they distract themselves with Joy(TM).
I am always reminded of Milgram's experiments. The majority follow authorities even to the point of thinking they may have killed someone. Recently I read, of all things, a comment online where the commenter said these people have no internal dialogue and went at length about it. It struck me as true .
That's the old Julian Jaynes theory. . . no internal dialogue = no conscience. Would explain a lot, if true.
Never heard of Jaynes. Found one of his books on the Internet Archive. Think I'll download it and take a look. https://archive.org/details/he361629
Yes, even if it seems so alien to many of us.

Non-Player Character. Picked it up from the Righties.
In 1963, to be precise. Been a Masonic Nation ever since. And it damn sure shows.
“Masonic” nation ?? Another code word?
Mozart was a free mason — a response to oppressing all present clericalism at time of French revolution.
What masons have to do with current US fascism?
Nothing coded, unless you consider the plain truth a code.
So Mozart was a freemason. Your point is... what? Someone who composed music was a mason, ergo it's a good thing? lol

“Nay” was a typo - should have been “may”….
Free masons were a very positive movement at time of oppressive clericalism. In today’s secular societies they are irrelevant and archaic.
People like you are stuck with your believes and prejudices, based on ignorance
You cannot even spell correctly yet are prepared to call me ignorant.
Take your masonic jive and your lies elsewhere, junior. Our communications are over.
Is there always just one?

At the same time, they are highly sophisticated and "rational", in the sense they know how to get what they want, even if at some point it's bunkers for them and a nuclear-baked earth elsewhere. Really, who knows what these people are capable of doing? I'm confident the end goal (and they're getting there fast) is an entire reordering of the world's population into unwitting masters, slaves, and ashes. As they continue to increase their upper hand, and if you're not doing their bidding -- watch out.
As Alexander Mercouris pointed out, even after one military misadventure (read, "disaster") after another, the "United States has no reverse gear." The neocons -- or whatever damnable agglomeration of entrenched interagency bureaucratic mandarins with private equity shadow bankers and financial superpowers we're talking about here -- they have never demonstrated the capacity to stop, back up and proceed in a different direction. Too much inertia or overinvestment or they simply lack that biological functionality that even that humblest of blind, one-celled organisms, the paramedics, possesses.
Prof. Michael Glennon of Tufts calls it/them "the Trumanite network", to be contrasted with the "Madisonian" one, in his book National Security and Double Government (OUP, 2016), but I like "damnable agglomeration" better.
It’s called the “Luciferian Doctrine” they lie even when the truth would serve them better, they proceed even when their deception is exposed. Such arrogance hubris and pride, but they know how to “fail forward” & insinuate it’s all your fault & what are you going to do about it?
As @CarribeanHawk pointed out here, they can always "create their own reality". The addicts have applied too much of their own black magic.
I tend to agree.
The "crazies in the basement" (per Bush 41) who are now in the West Wing and 10 Downing Street and many other places, some well known and some less so (e.g., Nevis) are basically what we used to call full-on sociopaths (we can't anymore because the term is "unscientific" and is no longer in the DSM. DSM-5 refers, instead to ASPD and other things) - they desire Wealth/Power/Control. Mostly control, and for the sake of control really, not even for more wealth and power.
This goes back to even before Mackinder and his Geographic Pivot of History.
"Old Gimlet Eye", Marine Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler was right, as was Prof. Carroll Quigley (Tragedy & Hope), Bill Clinton's favourite prof at Georgetown, and now more and more folks are realizing it.
A positive I see is that at least now the masks are off. Previously, only a relatively few would have been aware of the Neocons and their disciples/allies/backers/money men. Now, they are pretty much out in the open.
One interesting parallel set of developments is the increasing pace of disclosure re: UAP/NHI. When you have very senior and serious IC folks like Chris Mellon, Adm. Gallaudet, Cdr. Fravor, and Col. Karl Nell saying what they are saying, not to mention folks like Gen. Chaim Eshed, I wonder about what they know that they are *not* saying/allowed to say, what their equivalents in RF and the PRC know on this subject, and how that knowledge is impacting strategies and decisions (by all players) on more "earthly" matters like Ukraine and Taiwan.
Good points, thanks. "A positive I see is that at least now the masks are off." Yup. But time is short, and not enough of us can yet see that.
I’m of the view that this is a very long game. It has been going on for centuries, probably, and will continue to go on for a long time to come.
Even after disclosure, whenever that happens, I don’t expect much to change. Various groups/factions of elites will continue to fight for wealth, power, and control.
Interesting at least Smedley Butler disrupted their plans for a while but Quigley was mostly boasting
Spot on.
It reads a bit like the Pentagon had suddenly developed a conscience, but it’s more likely that reality had simply overtaken the narrative, eg the narrative that the US saved western democracy in WWII - pure Hollywood! The Eastern front was far more important - and Russia knew it then like they do now. They strategically built up their military capacity between the 2014 coup and the 2022 SMO and consequently revealed the West to be a paper tiger.
The Master Blaster image would be more accurate if the Big Guy/Blaster/World's Policeman/Emperor was depicted with no clothes. Before the Hollywood propaganda shot of US soldiers raising the flag on Iwo Jima in WWII, they carpet bombed this minuscule island for 72 straight days!
Could be just a political kabuki theatre. Otherwise, why on earth would Zelensky fly to Washington to present his peace plan for WW3? The neocons need to wrap the WW3 as a peace plan to save democracy so that the senile majority would happily march towards their demise.
I have listened to you every time you are on Mel K's show. Your analysis on varied big picture matters has been greatly appreciated. My initial anguish was about the 2020 coup here. But, you broadened my perspective that this has been an international plan and trauma for decades. The article above just adds further to this. Of course Mel's "follow the money trail" has also been important in my education/re-education. By the way, your example of the slipper and the grown lions - what a classic on Mel's 9/21/24 interview!
Thank you Robin!
Alex Collier just stated that we (in the U.S.) can expect a changeover to a constitutional republic. Your news seems to support this.
Wow! Interesting...
Thank you Alex. I am relieved to hear that there are still some cooler heads in Washington, for now.
Let's see what happens... I'm cautiously optimistic.
Thank you, including for commenting on UK’s government persistent Russophobia and warmongering influence on eager US ruling bipartisan War party.
There are two outstanding recent interviews on that topic:
- deeply frightening by Mike Benz with Shawn Ryan on Ukraine and why deep state protects Hunter Biden -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o98Y1cEja-U
- by RFK Jr. with Scott Ritter about War party’s TOTAL non-communication with Russia’s diplomats. -- https://rumble.com/v5fhs49-ask-the-inspector-ep.-196-with-robert-f.-kennedy-streams-live-on-sept.-20-a.html
As a result on Saturday, Sept. 14 we were at hairline to formal war with capitalist and democratic Russia which also has a greater internal freedom of information than USA.
Exactly-- Mike Benz's interview in particular is fantastic
Shawn Ryan also had a great interview with Admiral Tim Gallaudet (Annapolis grad, PhD in Oceanography) on UAP and USOs.

Russophobia is a misleading concept. It's all about containing Russia's expansion and competition.
Sure Yoni. And the Earth is flat.
EXCELLENT
Thank you for this clarity.
🙏🙏🙏
It is self-evident both the neocons in Washington and London remain under the illusion they are still masters of the universe and can "create their own reality". Apparently they remain blind to the fact that Russia has won the arms race especially in stand-off weapons (Kinzahls, Zircons, nuclear underwater drones, etc.). and has the strongest, most seasoned army in the world. At least the top brass in the US Armed forces know better. Keir Starmer is still thinking "Perfidious Albion" can maneuver its designated enemies to fight each other and hoping America will destroy itself by protecting the English. Americans are common-sense people who love making a buck; they rarely persist with unprofitable adventures and so far Ukraine has been a bust and getting worse.
"can 'create their own reality' "
This is actually the crux of the modern problem with Totalitarianism, one that I have been arguing for years, with few takers: (1) Humans are necessarily limited and imperfect, and therefore NOTHING is ever settled truth (otherwise, we could get busy closing departments, shuttering universities, and stopping journals), because, at root, there is no fully-accessible truth -- it's ALL belief; and (2) modern Totalitarians, at least, are learned practitioners of the abuse of this very human limitation, and have successfully applied it to engender mass formation psychosis and many other effects in varied subpopulations.
People of all political beliefs and intelligence levels have an extremely hard time with this, thinking that *unimpeachable* truth is always discoverable, at least given enough time and effort, and that they can "possess" it. But, they can't. This "inconvenient truth" is the very basis of democracy, open science, and adversarial justice. If public discourse (and the entire West) is to become civil again, we'd better re-learn that humility, a hard-won achievement of the Enlightenment.
All supposed "known truth" is simply the consensus of the esteemed, the intelligent, etc. and held by significant majorities. But now, the new-and-improved version is completely bifurcated into Left and Right! How can that be? Because, at root, it's *still* all belief, especially the more complex forms, and can in theory be overturned at any future point. Merely look at the longer (i.e. centuries) history of conventional wisdom, both in wider populations as well as narrow, sophisticated knowledge.
Intellectuals are a blight on knowing besides when is science ever “settled “?
The key word is Illusion/delusion. The black pillers posting here-- " oh it will always be this way etc etc" do not go back far enough in history to see that not only is that not true but we are coming into a new paradigm where that kind of Neo-con push will not be tolerated or accepted by a multi power world. Everything is changing💗
interesting - yes - I heard this too of course from Col Wilkerson and Judge Napolitano - I saw it on this link - https://twitter.com/GhostofBPH/status/1836957071989706934 - and the same hour I heard from a friend - who has a friend in the US military - that it was happening....but this source said it was only for a couple of weeks. I hope its long term I've been thinking for a while that the US needed a military coup
Wonder how many 'much jabbed' soldiers will be left standing to participate....nobody really knows...
well, the military doesn't want war as much as those fucking shitheads in the WH But I see your point
thanks, also meant, fewer people to participate in a coup....I suppose most of the upper brass are jabbed as well....we are much weakened, militarily. And no one to blame but 'us'...that jabbed 'em.
but a coup against Biden Blinken and Jake Sullivan takes one guy. they have no power to fight back.
I guess a lot of us were wondering about this, nice to have some confirmation it actuially happened. :)
The clue came when the psycho cabbage snarled at the British reporters, he was not in happy bunny mode no matter what pills he was on.
First he was kicked from standing again, and then the Pentagon steps in to to say "No WW3 fucker".
Hard to see Austin having a spine, so this must have come from below.
Alex, when you say "London", you are forgetting that NATO is itself a multi-Bn lobbyist, much of the dark funds used to bury Corbyn's Run came drectly from NATO sources through such entities as Integrity Initiative. "London" wouldn't be behaving the same if his victory hadn't been undermined by rigged elections.

Thanks again for another forensic analysis, Alex. This is massive. I appreciate that it requires time, dogged persistence, substantial background knowledge (that isn't readily found in our run-of-the mill history books), and the vetting and sussing of information from various sources (your bullshitometer appears to be finely calibrated). Your report now begs the question: WHO is (are) the masked crusader (s) who executed the coup and WHAT weapons did they wield to get those psychopaths to stand down? If you come across any such information, or any intel that points in a certain direction, please share!
Yes, Alex, this is the best news of the day. Thank you for your research and writing. I’m going to be dancing the rest of the day.
