The results of the June 19 talks between Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un in Pyongyang are of paramount political importance to the entire Asia-Pacific region, experts told Sputnik
Martyrdom is victory; it is not defeat or death. This is the strength of the Resistance. The greatest threat the entity faces is that those who fight in the arenas carry this faith, and therefore, we find this patience and contentment among the families of the martyrs.
We manufacture the drones ourselves and we have a huge number of them, and all the weapons that were supposed to reach Lebanon have arrived.
The number of our fighters has far exceeded 100,000, and we have more than what the front needs, even in the worst conditions of war. We have a complete and real target bank, and we have the capability to reach all targets, which undermines the foundations of the entity.
The enemy knows that there is not a single point within the Zionist entity which we cannot reach.
In case of total war, every single ATGM, missile and drone will be fired at accurately pre-selected targets.
The enemy must also know that what awaits them in the Mediterranean Sea is not to be underestimated. -Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah

'There is no place for crimes, occupation and attacks against Gaza, Palestine and the region. The notion that the region will see a return to peace despite the continued occupation and aggression of the Zionist regime is nothing more than a mirage', the Iranian diplomat said on Thursday in an interview with Qatar-based Al Jazeera Network.
He also said that the more the Zionist regime makes threats, the more it will plunge into the quagmire of its crimes in the Gaza Strip.
The Zionists should realize that their crimes will bring no achievement for them but will cause new actions against them, Bagheri Kani warned.
The Iranian diplomat, heading a delegation, arrived in Qatar’s capital Doha on Wednesday afternoon for talks with top officials there.
Iran’s Acting Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani has said that Canada’s decision to designate the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization is a gift to the Israeli regime, terrorists and other enemies of peace and stability in the West Asia region.
Bagheri Kani made the comment on Thursday on X, formerly Twitter, a day after the Canadian government took the measure against the IRGC, following in the footsteps of the US that listed the Iranian military force as a terrorist group in 2019.
“Canada's unlawful act of labeling an integral part of official armed forces of I.R. Iran that has had an unmatched role in defending the national security and territorial integrity of beloved Iran, in protecting the regional security and stability and in countering Da’esh terrorism, as terrorism, is a malicious provocation that violates the principles and rules of international law and is just a gift to the genocidal regime, terrorists and other enemies of regional peace and stability, the Iranian diplomat said in his post.
He added that the 'Canadian government will be responsible for the consequences of this provocative and irresponsible decision.'
Earlier, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani had also strongly condemned Canada’s unwise decision, describing it as a hostile act that runs contrary to international norms and principles.

at work.
It is imperative to end the horror in Gaza. For nearly 12 agonizing days, many Palestinians, as well as Arabs, have been haunted by a single question: Where is little Hind Ragab?
Tragically, the answer has surfaced in the most harrowing of ways. Left to perish alongside members of her family, despite her desperate pleas for help, Hind's final moments were marred by fear and abandonment.
Injured and terrified of the encroaching darkness, she cried out for adults to rescue her from the looming threat of Israeli tanks. However, her calls for aid went unanswered, sealing her fate.
Even the valiant efforts of paramedic rescuers, who tirelessly sought permission from the Israeli Army to evacuate her to safety, ended in tragedy as they too became victims of the Israeli army’s brutality.

'...A number of astute observers have pointed out that the world’s attention is focused primarily on the war in Gaza and the plight of the Palestinians there. Meanwhile, far more attention should be paid to the growing crisis in the more densely populated West Bank. According to the UN, 536 Palestinians, including 130 children, have been killed by Israeli troops and settlers in the past eight months. (In the same period, 7 Israeli soldiers and 5 settlers have died at the hands of Palestinians). Since early October, an average of 60 Palestinians have been killed each month in the West Bank, an area nominally considered peaceful.
Locals warn that the West Bank is seething with frustration and outrage and that ‘a big explosion is coming’. The territory, including East Jerusalem, is home to 3 million Palestinians and 720,000 Jewish settlers.
Israel is firmly on course to annex the West Bank by legalising settlement outposts and allowing the construction of thousands of housing units (the government has just announced the construction of 6,000 settlement houses). This deprives the Palestinian Authority of funding and administrative authority, and Finance Minister B. Smotrich is calling for the transfer of legal authority over the West Bank from the military to a civilian body headed by Jewish settlers.
There are now officially 146 settlements in the West Bank and 12 in East Jerusalem.
With radical members of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government openly advocating the annexation of the West Bank and the construction of new settlements there continuing unabated, even American political analysts believe that a Palestinian uprising is inevitable.
The Israeli human rights organisation (B’Tselem) claims that the entire territory between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River is being organised by the Israeli authorities according to a single principle: to develop and strengthen the superiority of one group – the Jews – over the other – the Palestinians.
The danger of this policy is also understood by thinking Israelis: Ami Ayalon, former head of the Shin Bet, Israel’s security service, stresses that the occupation is as poisonous for Israelis as it is for Palestinians: “We are losing our identity as human beings, as Jews and as human beings.
Washington’s policy of actually emboldening Israel by providing it with new weapons could lead to the outbreak of a major conflagration throughout the Middle East...'

Lebanon definitely 'a hell with no return' for Israel if war breaks out, warns Iran The Gaza Community Mental Health Programme said Gazans' psychological trauma could endure 'for generations to come'
'...Now, and specifically regarding future prospects. First, the Western regimes formulas and ultimatums – that is over. Any peace agreement that is currently purely theoretical will be based on the military front realities – current and future, and within which the NATO bloc and its Banderist puppets cannot dictate anything. While taking into account other conditions recently expressed by our country’s leadership. Second – no Western platforms. From now on, everything must take place in one or more territories representing the world majority – in this sense, there is no options shortage.
Another very important point. Any possible negotiations must take place between A) Russia with other representatives of the BRICS and the Global South nations and B) Western regimes. Although, and with regard to this last point in relation to the West – the representatives of the Washingtonian regime should be more than enough, the presence of the vassals from the Brussels Europe not being really necessary. As for the puppets from Kiev – in the event that their masters accept a real negotiation process before a possible complete capitulation and the total defeat of the NATO-Banderist forces – should logically be entrusted with a purely observational role with nods of their heads in sign of acceptance – nothing more.
And finally, one very last thing. For the moment, the West will probably not yet fully accept all these conditions – hoping until the end to be able to turn the situation around or at least to be able to move away a little from the status of the openly losing side. This means that from a military perspective, the Russian Armed Forces will continue to liberate new territories and the reality on the ground will naturally be taken into account when Western regimes would simply beg for peace talks. It will then become definitely clear whether it is worth, or whether it will simply be a complete and unconditional capitulation of the enemies of Russia and the multipolar world order.'

'Several left-wing voices have said lately that Israel is falling apart. The society is torn over the war, the government is dominated by brutal racists, and the country’s only answer to the fundamental question – half the population is Palestinian – is apartheid and rolling massacres.
Israeli political culture smacks of fascism. The latest slaughters of civilians in Gaza gain immediate approval by centrist politicians while right-wing ministers issue calls for execution of Palestinian prisoners. The whole society denounces the release of an innocent doctor abducted by Israeli forces in Gaza and embarks on (what Gideon Levy calls) “a hysterical campaign of panic, incrimination, hatred, dehumanization, lust for vengeance, thirst for blood.”
There is a sense that Israel has no way out. No wonder there are reports that hundreds of thousands of Israelis have fled the country since last October.
How does the United States deal with these realities? The answer for the last 20 years of anti-Palestinian hatred has been denial. The answer for this political cycle is also utter denial.
The U.S. establishment insists that Israel is a healthy democracy and it is capable of moving towards a two state solution in which Palestinians live side by side with Israelis...
 Israel’s inability to solve the Palestinian issue except by apartheid and massacres has fostered a fascistic and racist political culture in the country. But this truth must be kept from Americans...'

An important remark:
There is no such thing as the Palestinian problem. There is no problem between Jews and Muslims.
There is an Israeli problem, the problem is Israel's existence.
Problems started after Israel was established, especially the thieving zionists who came from Europe and usurped the lands of the Palestinian people even though they had no right to do so, are the biggest obstacles to peace.
Supporting Israel, the occupying land and identity thief, is the same as being hostile to Judaism.
Every support given to Zionism and Israel increases Antisemitism.
We call out to the leaders and politicians of all states. Openly supporting Israel is anti-Semitism.
Whoever supports Israel and Zionism should know that this is openly anti-Semitic.
Supporting Zionist Nazis is anti-Semitic.
Supporting the Nazi state of Israel is clearly supporting genocide.
We have absolute no allegiance to the State of Israel.

August 4, 2024
'Political opinions are almost as vast as financial opinions—from bull to bear, or left to right.
But there are differences, no?
Political opinions, unlike market evaluations, for example, more often lean on emotion, media/partisan influence or even Californian hair styles rather than simple math. But in the spectrum of negative to euphoric market pundits, even math can be ignored to confirm biases, euphoria and group-think.
Ideally, of course, we’d like our politics, like our investing, to be equally rational; but as history and philosophy confirm, man is not very, well: Rational…
When one supplements human irrationality with open dishonesty and misinformation (think Main Stream/Legacy Media and self-serving rather than pubic-serving “leadership”), an otherwise clear path to rational deliberation can become all the more clouded.
Take Joe Biden…
From literally day-1 of his administration, it was fairly clear to anyone (left or right) that his mental fitness was undeniably declining. The physical and verbal examples of Biden’s “resting 25th Amendment face” and condition are and were endless.
Equally endless were the efforts of his “concealers in chief” (from his vice president, press secretaries, cabinet and point-of-view “journalists”) to hide, deny or contradict this open fact for years—repeating the lie of Biden’s robust mind long enough to convince the masses of the political equivalence to the sky is green and the grass is blue.
But then came a moment of truth: A single presidential debate in which Biden was all alone without prompts, ear phones, note cards or his wife’s elbow.
Not surprisingly, he imploded for all the world to see.
Not even mental giants like actor George Clooney or “journalist” (actress?) Rachel Maddow could save him from our own two eyes and ears.
Soon thereafter, Biden dropped out of the race.
Shocker?
In short, and with the entire world watching, a lie that was otherwise obvious (and deliberately ignored) for years, was suddenly exposed: The emperor had no clothes (or the President had no clue).
This sad fact should not have been partisan, but moral.
But what does this have to do with markets, portfolios and your currency?
Well, the answer is: Everything.
A Pattern of Lies, Denial and Public Gaslighting
The Biden example, or denial-template above, is literally identical to a similar template of economic lies, denial and public gaslighting as acted out by our central bankers, debt-addicted (economically juvenile) politicians and utterly clueless financial media for years.
The Bankers…
Anyone, and I mean anyone, who hails from Wall Street’s big banks, for example, knows that bears are fired and bulls are promoted.
Why?
Because banks are in the business of levering depositor money for year-end bonuses and an endless stream of risky (rather than fiduciary) “products” that have nothing to do with long-term value but everything to do with short-term fee collecting.
Any honest banker who questions the financial weapons of mass destruction developed in those banks (from MBS derivative schemes to current “private credit pools” and non-performing CRE loans) is shown the door.
The Fed…
Such financial vanity is equally true of our central bankers.
Near-term power at the expense of longer-term prosperity is the name of their distorted game and the surest path to a Nobel Prize in economics (Bernanke) or a prestigious post at the US Treasury Department (Yellen)…
But as Thomas Hoenig, one of the very few FOMC players (and Kansas City Fed Presidents) with actual integrity, reminds: The Fed, if run properly, “should make policy for the long-term and let the near-term work itself out.”
But the Fed’s actual practice, as Hoenig himself confesses, has been the precise (and sickening) opposite.
As Hoenig (and the few of us who speak what we think rather than what are told) have been warning for years, the Fed (from Greenspan to Powell) is more worried about bailing out the next bank or bond crisis than preventing the next generationfrom suffering permanent inflation/currency ruin in the endless wake of their repulsive “spend and print” policies.
The Politico’s…
Needless to say, this same pattern of near-termism and me-first-ism (nation-be-damned) is most glaringly apparent in the halls of political decision-making.
Congress is where heavily-lobbied and embarrassingly math-challenged Ken, Barbies and stumbling octogenarians deficit spend like crack addicts for near-term re-election while leaving the bill (and twin deficits) to our kids…
In short, even when openly in decline, they cling to power. This explains why an entire party could stand behind an otherwise zombie-fied Biden for years: So long as their machine (and happy-idiot) was in power, they could scramble for personal promotion, power and wealth at department or agency X, Y or Z.
For this class of politico’s (both red and blue), the cry is not “ask what you can do for your country,” but simply, “what can DC do for me and my CV?” as the U.S. just witnessed the highest level of corporate bankruptcies since early 2020…
Such open selfishness, arrogance and deliberate economic/debt ignorance is a symptom of decadence and decline which precedes the inevitable fall of all once-great nations.
The Great American Debt Lie
Like Biden’s mental health, America’s hidden financial health has been a perfect homage to the smoke and mirrors denial of what were otherwise obvious shark fins circling our economic prosperity for years.
And yet for years, we and others have been warning of these open and irrevocable risks with candor, while Wall Street and anonymous YouTube comment-cowards gaslight us as “gloom and doomers.”
The ironies just abound…
Candor Matters
For over four years, by way of example only, we have been shouting from the electronic rooftops that western sovereign debt in general, and USTs in particular, are racing toward a moment of implosion that can’t be blamed on COVID, global warming, Putin or even little green men from Mars.
For even more years, we have been warning that nations cannot spend or borrow 3-4X more than they earn by monetizing the delta with liquidity literally created out of thin air without eventually destroying their currency and stoking an inflationary fire, which the Fed got 100% wrong. And by the way, this fire always leads to social unrest and distractive wars followed by democracy-insulting centralization from the extreme political left or right.
Meanwhile, those very forces of currency debasement, inflation, war and social unrest are ALREADY and LITERALLY occurring all around us, to the bemused dismay and denial of our so-called “elites.”
Yet like Biden’s yes-sayers, crony-capitalists, position-grabbing lackies and complicit media mouthpieces, our current financial and political elites are still making a daily effort to ignore the obvious and force-feed us their well-telegraphed counter-narrative of deficits without tears.
Fortunately, and like the Biden template above, at some point even the cleverest lies can no longer hide the most basic math and history of nations free-falling from a debt-cliff of their own design.
Signs of a Broken Narrative
Recently, for example, the mother of all central banks, the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), published its annual report, which the media, DC and Wall Street largely ignored.
Specifically, the BIS finally, in 2024, said out loud what we have been saying for years: When economic growth slows to a level outpaced by debt growth, sovereign IOUs get weaker not stronger.
And when sovereign bonds get weaker (i.e., sell off), their prices fall and hence their yields rise.
And when yields rise (mathematically), so too do interest rates.
BUT herein lies the rub:
Rising rates + historically unprecedented global debt levels = $#!T hitting the fan.
The Bond Market’s “Biden Moment”
This, then, is a kind of “Biden moment” for the $130T global credit market.
Even the BIS is confessing that the bond market, like America’s current emperor, may have no clothes.
And yet the majority still want to believe a fantasy narrative that all is (and will be) fine, recession and inflation facts notwithstanding…
That is, the vast majority of investors and bank salesmen are still trying to convince themselves and the world that a growth slowdown—or even a recession—will lead to a goldilocks scenario of increased buying (rather than selling) of government “safe-haven” bonds, which, in their collective fantasy, means higher bond prices ahead and hence lower bond yields and interest rates ahead.
This, folks, is the economic equivalent of believing Joe Biden will be the next Jeopardy Champion or Olympic Marathon gold medalist…
Natural vs. Un-Natural Forces
In the end, and despite the 800+ PhD’s at the Fed (who completely got inflation wrong) and all the happy idiots in both red and blue in the US House, natural forces (i.e., supply and demand) ultimately humble human forces (i.e., stupidity and vanity).
That is, not even the Fed or other central banks can control rates; instead, the natural forces of the bond markets get the final say.
As demand for over-indebted and unloved sovereign IOUs falls, yields and rates will rise to levels no nation can afford to pay.
This reality (aka moment of fiscal dominance) can only be monetized/paid with fake money, which is by definition inflationary.
Like Biden’s mental decline—it’s just that obvious. It’s also math.
Inflation is killing the purchasing power of the “wealth” by which you measure your savings account, paycheck, portfolio and legacy.
Think about that with eyes that see and ears that hear.
Speaking of Nature…
Nature, unlike most bankers, politicians and artificial market bubbles, has an embedded honesty which, cruel or kind, has a way of self-correcting the un-natural interference of man-made designs.
There’s no hubris or vindictive spite, for example, in an iceberg that challenges a poorly steered and otherwise “unsinkable” Titanic.
Nor is there anything personal when a flood washes away a mansion poorly built on the river’s edge.
And any yachtsman who thinks he or she can tame a hurricane, quickly learns a lesson in humility.
The same, of course, is true of paper or digital money. Man can make, and hence debase, as much of it as he wishes.
But nature’s money, gold, is far less arrogant and far more honest.
In addition, nature’s money is far more patient.
Gold’s detractors, of course, will say that it merely sits there doing nothing.
But while dollars, yen, pounds, pesos and euros are all very busy swapping, trading, collateralizing and debasing, gold calmly does one thing very well: Retain its value. 
The World is Catching On
Your private wealth advisors, political representatives or family office CEOs (typically just former bankers) may not wish to see such natural honesty among the teargas of financial group-think and complex market lingo, but many nations and their central banks are catching on.
As outlined in detail many times, these players (i.e., the BRICS+ et al) are, and have been for years, quietly and now openly stacking nature’s money at historical levels while dumping USTs. Why?
Because after years of enduring a debt-debased world reserve currency and its “return-free-risk” IOUs, the world wants: 1) a neutral Tier-1 asset that can’t be frozen at DC’s will, and 2) which actually retains rather than loses its value.
Imagine that? The world actually prefers natural gold over a man-made sovereign IOU as a reserve asset?
Rather than replace the USD and other fiat currencies (which are critical spending tools), more and more nations are simply going to reprice currencies like the USD while storing their reserves in real money (gold).
This trend is now obvious, from India, China and Russia to Nigeria, Thailand or Saudi Arabia: Gold, a yield-less asset, which is outperforming a dollar bull market and so-called “yielding” 10Y UST, is clearly emerging as the premier inflation-fighting, savings and net trade settlement asset.
Yet despite this otherwise obvious shift, akin to Biden’s obvious mental decline, many would intentionally have you ignore what your eyes see and your ears hear.
“The dollar,” they cry, “is king!”
But as Biden’s fall poetically reminds, a king with no clothes, is a crown (and money) with no value.
As asked elsewhere: Which will you prefer? A crown of paper or a crown of gold?' -Matthew Piepenburg

'I think there is ultimately a desire for a great War, not by the Kamala Harris's and Walz's of this world but by those deep structures of foreign policy which need, if you like, some form of reset for financial reasons, economic reasons essentially. You know the West has created this inverted pyramid of financial instruments, all of these financial structures that sit in derivatives in trillions, and they sit on a tiny base of real collateral of real value, a few bars of gold perhaps here and there, a little bit of real value.
This is why you had Lindsey Graham saying, very clearly, 'Ukraine for America is a gold mine. It it sits on 12 trillion worth of materials of raw materials. We need those to finance ourselves. And we don't want Putin and China to get it.'

This pivot is entirely a function of a big-money astroturf campaign. Crypto has never been listed as a top issue for most Americans, and recent polling of voters in swing states shows that between 61 and 77 percent hold a negative view of the technology.
When Schumer says, “Crypto is here to stay no matter what,” he really means that their campaign cash is seemingly bottomless and too formidable to oppose. The industry mobilized this year, forming a network of independent expenditures under the umbrella of Fairshake to weaponize a broken campaign finance system to their advantage. Fairshake has become the single largest outside spender in this year’s elections thus far, with $120 million in cash on hand, even greater than the notoriously well-armed American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
The PAC immediately made its intentions clear to go after any legislator insufficiently servile to their wishes. It began with knocking off Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) in the California Senate primaries by dropping $10 million. Through their various spending arms, they’ve tipped the scales in several congressional races, including helping to knock out Squad members Reps...' Chuck Schumer fully embraced crypto at an industry fundraiser for Harris, while his Senate candidates get showered with millions of dollars in crypto PAC donations H/T Tom from Florida

'It is time for Russia to fully mobilize against the nagging threat posed by the NATO-backed Ukrainian state. President Putin’s pragmatic approach to keeping NATO off Russia’s borders will undoubtedly be shifted given the recent Ukraine Army incursions at Kursk. Many of us suspected it would come to this. Russia must crush the Kyiv-NATO experiment down the tubes.
V.V. Putin and Job
Vladimir Putin is considered by most experts as the most sensible and realistic leader Russia has ever had. Furthermore, most honest experts consider him the only true statesman among a cadre of corporate-owned politicians in the Western world. However, pragmatic and logical actions do not exclude total war when a threat level reaches a threshold. And Washington playing coy about why Ukraine’s forces hit the flanks of Russia’s Karkov line and pushed across the border adds insult to injury. Injury to peace for all of Europe and the world.
The escalating situation on the Eurasian Steppe has a complexion now akin to every other attack on Russia since before The Great Game, the British Empire created to try and contain Russia. Given the U.S. role and the inclusion of a more unified Central Europe against all Russian interests, the strategies of the 19th century have been brought forward and magnified a hundredfold. In biblical history, the apostle James wrote about Job’s patience in helping believers during intense persecution. I do not think Russia’s president will allow his people to be persecuted any longer, even though he has shown the perseverance and humility of Job. Perhaps when the evildoers are smitten, Russia and Mr. Putin can forgive them. But not before the smiting. This all reminds me of another time.
This Great Game was a period of distrust, diplomatic intrigue, and regional wars like those we’ve seen in Georgia, Afghanistan, and now in Ukraine. Back then, the containment policy by the West never erupted in a full-scale war directly between Russian and British colonial forces. Later, however, the Brits, Americans, and Germans amped up the age-old obsessively with surrounding and dismantling Russia. The West created the situation and the conditions that led to Russia being forced to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine. No study of the subject can result in any other conclusion. The point is that Russia has very few choices—and only one logical one. Ukraine must be decapitated and either partitioned or absorbed by Russia altogether.
Zelensky: A Curse On Humanity
I am sure this seemingly drastic strategy has crossed V.V. Putin’s desk a hundred times in the past few years. And I suspect his logic will now shift. The Biden White House, run by the elites who are the prodigies of the British/American empire (Money Empire), is now feigning innocence in the Kursk incursion. Biden also pretended America was reticent to allow Ukraine to use long-range missiles from NATO states for attacks inside Russia. It’s ludicrous for anyone familiar with the situation! Nothing Ukraine’s Zelenskyy has done since his election has been undertaken by his masters in London, New York, and Brussels.
Putin’s Russia must crush Zelensky by whatever means necessary. This is the only logical course of action in such a conflict. Zelensky told BBC and other media the other day that “Moscow must “feel” the consequences of its invasion of Ukraine.” The problem for President Putin is the need to put Russia on a complete war footing. Already, the Russian defence complex has been ramped up. Reservists and new enlistees are being added to Russia’s active duty forces. This actor in a clown suit, a mockery of Ukrainians and the world’s people, must be forced to heel in front of humanity. The end Sadaam Hussein and Gadaffi faced is probably too gentle for a person of this nature.
Looking briefly at the events leading up to the current crisis, we find one side playing by the old rules. For instance, France and Germany lying to the Russians and the world about the Minsk Accords is the milestone that best crystalizes what’s happening. When former German Chancellor Angela Merkel admitted the West was duping the Russians to reinforce Ukraine (via NATO), I’m sure Putin and others in Russia’s hierarchy believed the world would take notice. And the majority did. In the Middle East, across Asia, Latin America, and especially Africa, key people began to galvanize their understanding that the United States and its partners fully intend to rule the world completely. However, three-fourths of the planet’s population sits on the same side as Russia. The recent BRICS events tell us the multipolar system of world detente is upon us. And this is why Washington is prompting the Ukrainians into a suicide mission. It’s all or nothing, and unfortunately, Russia is now being forced into reacting like Israel would respond. By this, I mean, ‘if you kill one of ours, we will kill a hundred of yours.”
The Outer Reality
I guess I’ve studied Vladimir Putin as much as anyone. The thing that strikes me most about the man is his self-control. Unlike any other leader I can think of, Putin seems to be a person of what German spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle termed “mindfullness,” or a deep concern for inner reality in all his dealings. Tolle discussed this when describing Christ’s teachings about turning the other cheek. He asserted that Christ used a parable to describe how we should deal with the world around us. For Putin, like America’s own Abraham Lincoln, I believe his inner reality has finally been shocked by the forces arrayed against him.
You see, this situation is about more than the survival of Russia. Russia is the centrepiece of an emerging multipolar world where no single nation will govern policy, economics, or resources. At least, this is the potential. Pitted against this is a cabal whose lineage and soul wreaks of medieval usurping of power and the degradation of everything and everyone it touches. For lack of a better term, let’s use the term “Technofeudalism”, created by Greek economist Yanis Varoufakis. He says that the tech giants have overthrown regular capitalism. And I would add that these tech giants were created by, and are controlled by, the old family ruling elites – or spawn of the age of The Great Game. Spawn is a strong word, I know, but as our world disintegrates and as these elites snatch at what’s left of our human legacy, logic dictates that we all become soldiers against tyranny.
Few people today understand that so-called “conspiracy theories” are as often as not accurate. Take Varoufakis’ term and consider that British writer and futurist H. G. Wells defined the term “new world order” as a synonym for establishing a technocratic world state and of a planned economy back in the 1940s. In the 1950s, German-born American banker James Warburg told the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations that:
“We shall have a world government, whether or not we like it. The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or by conquest.”
And here we are. Vladimir Putin, perhaps the greatest statesman of our time, will be forced into rallying every resource opposed to the American hegemony in order even to mediate peace talks with this cabal of bloodletters. For my part, seeing North Korean, Chinese, Belarussian, and Iranian troops on the border alongside Russians would seal the issue, one way or another. Given the weight of such an unwinnable conflict, even Washington and London would have to take pause. The Kyiv experiment must be flushed out of the human laboratory. And I believe Mr. Putin knows it.'

Governments and central banksters are now supreme experts in the total destruction of your money. Ex nihilo, nihil. At some point the markets will discover that much of society's wealth has become entrapped in non-cash-flowing malinvestments. Gold has been around for tens of thousands of years and has been used as money throughout its history. Fiat currency throughout history has always ended in hyperinflation.

EMERGENCY IN THE WEST BANK & EAST JERUSALEM:
Predictably, violence against all Palestinians under Israel's unlawful occupation is dangerously escalating. In the past 11 months, Israeli forces have killed 637 Palestinians, including 151 children, amid military assaults, raids, and settler-led pogroms in the West Bank/east Jerusalem.
Israeli MFA's recent call to treat the West Bank as Gaza is deeply alarming.
Are we blind to history repeating?
The world's failure to protect Palestinians echoes its failures with Bosnians and Tutsis, despite promises made after the Holocaust to prevent such atrocities.
Human rights are being buried altogether, one by one. -Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt
