Vote World War Three, Vote Kamala Harris, Lots Of Opportunities For Black Men In The U.S Army, Just Like The Good Old Days In Vietnam.
This is a war for Anglo U.S Full Spectrum Dominance. Remember, if you are black, Kamala Harris is almost a black woman. You should be proud, like your fellow middle class feminist felllow underdogs, to be part of a noble herd. Vote as one and fight as one for the rich blacks, rich whites and feminists who are running this planet to oblivion. Be a proud part of the project. There will be no more racism, sexism or misogyny, so help them tighten their grip.
Then soon enough there will be no more planet. Remember, it is all the more worthwhile to protect women from Trump because 30 years after the event, trendy gossip columnist E Jean Carroll was so traumatised after modelling lingerie in a Macey’s fitting room, for a much younger and very rich Donald Trump, it took her all that time to bring the matter to a civil – not criminal – court. Here he was found guilty, by a media prejudiced court, of indencent assualt. Over here in the U.K, the very anti Trump BBC and Sky News cannot stop reminding is of that ‘offence’ or the ridiculous ‘Stormy Daniels’ fraud Demcrat Media set up. It was all hearsay, but that is fake U.S Democracy.
Working class white and black men should also take note of the Democrat open door migration policy which will lower wages and push up prices, not to mention the matter of importing violent pernicious crime, more religious bigotry, overwhelmed public services and drug problems. Harris, Obama and the Democrats are patronising, taking black men for granted. Harris is vacuous and smirking, like Obama.

Harris faces challenge with union voters in Michigan …The Hillhttps://thehill.com
Kamala Harris’s struggle with unionized blue-collar workers could hurt her in key “blue wall” states Michigan and Pennsylvania.
A monster child of the super rich – By R J Cook.
Comment Harris is all about what is wrong with Trump, not about what is right with her. She has multi national corporate media on her and her henchmen’s side. She comes out with gems such as ‘Trump would be a disaster for blue collar Americans.’ Any blue collar Americans who believe that are testament to the appalling decline and depths to which their education system has plummeted. The British working classes and pensioners made the same mistake about Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, former head of the corrupt Crown Prosecution Service. They fell for the mainstream media charm offensive and are starting to pay the price.
That price will rise and engulf Europe and the U.S as the self styled liberal hypocrits and idiots take us ever closer to full on World War Three. That’s another big reason why these industrial, military and political psychopaths need the blue collar men on their side. This is Vietnam again on steroids. Its a war in what Anglo U.S led NATO see as another fight against communism.
It is becominng very clear that the U.S, no doubt using U.K assistance, was responsible for destroying Nordstream 2. Boris Johnson said it was never going to come on line. It would have by passed Ukraine and that would never do. U.S investment in Ukraine includes purchase of a titanium producer. What wasn’t stolen during the Yeltsin years is now up for grabs by new oligarchs, Western Corporations and banks. That is the fredom young white men are killing each other for. Meanwhile a Russian hypersonic missile has hit a major military base in Ukraine. When the F16s start using the long runways on Poland, all hell will break loose.
As Russian forces put more pressure on Ukraine’s rabble, NATO will panic. Meanwhile, Russia are not innocents in the Middle East, which is the U.S and allies achilles heel. It is going to get a lot worse in this sick war to ensure ever more long term wealth and pleasure for the world’s super rich. As always, it will be at the white working class and Global South’s expense. It is the U.S war for full spectrum dominance. In this context, Trump can not be allowed to win.
The Deep State will do whatever it takes to be rid of him and his even more threatening running mate, Vance, who cannot be allowed to get his feet under the table or they might have to shoot him too. Bob Woodward, who has dined out on Watergate since the earfly 1970s, has written a new book on Donald Trump where he makes such shocking revelations as ‘Donald Trump talked to Vladimir Putin seven times in the last 3 years’. Western style democracy is all about doing as you are told and voting for the consensus. That consensus for all the talk of diversity, is a monster child of the super rich. It is a world full of exploitation, fear, misery, violent crime and hate overseen by the global ruling class who cannot forgive Putin for going off message and betraying the oligarchs.

New York Times Hypocrisy On Donald Trump – R J Cook
Trump’s rambling speeches revive the age question
Donald Trump, now 78, will be the oldest president ever if he wins and finishes another term. His speeches have always been discursive and often untethered to truth. But with the passage of time, his public remarks have grown darker, longer, angrier and less focused, according to a Times review.
Earlier this month, Trump said the crowd watching his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris had been on his side. But there was no audience. It was hardly the first time Trump had seemed confused, forgetful, incoherent or disconnected from reality lately.
Details: According to a Times computer analysis, Trump’s rally speeches are now nearly twice as long as they were in 2016. He also uses more all-or-nothing terms like “always” and “never” than he did eight years ago, which some experts see as a sign of advancing age.
Comment This sort of thing never bothered these pampered lefty liberals when it was Biden up for election. It hasn’t bothered them that ‘Sleepy Joe’ Biden has continued in power in these most dangerous times, since he was forced to drop out as Democrat candidate for November 2024.
The U.S Presidency is emblematic of Western Style Democracies which are actually run by an International Deep State collection of international billionaires who own and control mainstream media or via powers they have intruded into the State. Trump’s first term demonstrated this principle perfectly with non stop media attacks about him being a Russian agent and rolling impeachment proceedings. Then came weaponising the New York Democrat controlled Judiciary and legal system to set him up for fraud and sex abuse.
Absolutely nothing can be allowed to get in the way of the Anglo U.S led NATO Ukraine Proxy War on Russia because of so many years of massive investment in regime change, looking forward to plundering resources, then even more strategic advantage on the road to China and global hegemony. It doesn’t matter how many young men are killed on this road to hell. That is the real nasty side to this regime change mentality and planetary destruction.
Trump, like all politicians, may go on too long, but he has to work hard to get noticed and heard in a system that so badly wants him dead that it crippled his 2016-20 administration and set him up for the Capitol Riots. The U.S elite lead the world for political corruption. So their approved mouthpieces can never be trusted on the subject of election rigging. Then when all else fails, there’s always the hope of turning a blind eye to assassins, as we have seen recently. Meanwhile, all Trump’s rival, Kamala Harris, has to do is say nothing as, briefly and infrequently as possible, go on being an ‘oppressed woman of colour’ representing all women and all blacks, smiling and bouncing around on the stage so much that no gunman could ever fix his sights on her.

NATO in a new Rutte
Last week, President Vladimir Putin said Russia was considering changing its military doctrine to regard an attack from a non-nuclear state – such as Ukraine – that was backed by a nuclear-armed one to be a “joint attack”.
Putin’s comments came as Ukraine sought approval to use long-range Western missiles against military sites in Russia.
The former Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte is the new secretary general of Nato,The former Dutch prime minister was speaking at his first press conference since taking over as head of the military alliance.
Rutte said that while he supported Ukraine’s right to carry out such strikes, it was up to allies to lift restrictions and called for Nato countries to continue arming Ukraine, saying that “the more we help Ukraine at the moment, the sooner [the war] will end.”
“The cost of supporting Ukraine is far, far lower, than the cost we would face if we allow Putin to get his way,” Rutte said, reiterating his predecessor’s commitment to bringing Ukraine closer to Nato membership.

The ruling elite lied about controlling immigration because sweatshop Britian needs them. The Border Force is a Border Farce. Our exploitative ruling elite requires the biggest underclass ( lumpenproletariat ) it can get. This keeps wages down and prices high. This is the same across the western world. So leaders like Kamala Harris, Ursula von der Leyen, and Sir Keir Starmer, thrive on patromising their expanding ethnic voting and cannon fodder.

Far right in Austria ‘opens new era’ with election victory
Paul Kirby
BBC News
Bethany Bell
BBC Vienna correspondent
- Published29 September 2024
Updated 3 hours ago
Austria’s far-right Freedom Party (FPÖ) has opened the door to a new era, its leader Herbert Kickl has told supporters, as they celebrated an unprecedented election victory.
Kickl’s party won 29.2% of the vote according to provisional results – almost three points ahead of the conservative People’s Party (ÖVP) on 26.5%, but far short of a majority.
Kickl’s victory is only the latest in a string of far-right election successes in Europe and he praised voters for their “optimism, courage and trust” in delivering a “piece of history”.
The FPÖ has been in coalition before, but the second-placed ÖVP has refused to take part in a government led by Kickl.
Kickl’s main rival, incumbent Chancellor Karl Nehammer of the ÖVP, has said it’s “impossible to form a government with someone who adores conspiracy theories”.
There was a high turnout of 74.9% as Austrian voters took part in an election dominated by the twin issues of migration and asylum, as well as a flagging economy and the war in Ukraine.
As half the map of Austria turned dark blue, FPÖ general secretary Michael Schnedlitz said “the men and women of Austria have made history today”, although he refused to say what kind of coalition his party would try to build.
Postal votes were still being counted on Monday morning, but an analysis of voters suggested those aged 35-59 were most likely to back the far right, and marginally more women than men.

The World as We Knew It – By R J Cook
Boris Johnson is half American, like his hero Sir Winston Churchill. Both were disasters as peace time Ministers and U.K Prime Ministers. The latter came into his own after two decades of Anglo French elitist arrogant incompetence created the perfect environment for the rise of Nazism. Some renegade teachers from my student days were able to suggest that Churchill could have taught Hitler a thing or two about racism.
But what looked like racism was more about Churchill’s class arrogance, condescension and patronising personality. Johnson also displays these characteristics. In action these traits and attitudes translate into overweening self confidence. People tend to follow these unfaltering people. At the moment we are in danger of these types, exemplified by Johnson and Kamala Harris, Johnson and Starmer. They are incapable of self doubt. They have worked, schemed and plotted for their position. They have no guiding principles beyond what is best for them and their ends justifying the means.
You find these types where ever there is power over others and wealth to be had. Their talents include lying, selfishness, insincerity and no conscience. Starmer said he had no religious beliefs but believed in religion because “It brings people together.” In other words he sees it as a soporific and distraction from the harsh and exploitative realities his people use as an opiate and distraction. These people are not the same as those like Hitler, Putin and Trump who have ideals driving them. They are men of their time.
Hitler fought and nearly died for his country. Afterwards Germany was unfairly blamed for starting it, rather like Putin sees his country being attacked by a fresh wave of asset strippers with value systems that have nothing to do with freedom or democracy. Trump was a builder and doesn’t like seeing needless death and destruction. He is not an elite politician, but has reacted to the ruin of his once great country where consensus politicians excel at hypocrisy and raping the planet. He is a threat to war profiteering U.S led Western hegemony that serves a bloated self serving elite. That is why there have been two attempts on his life. The global elite are international and own all non state mainstream media. State media is the State. Only their selective and edited version of events can possibly be true.
That elite fears an uprising of the down trodden white masses. Hence Starmer’s heavy handed response to the Southport massacre of young female dancers by the son of Rwandan asylum seekers. Tempers are running high among the poor whites who are of increasing number and anomic due to social collapse – or what the elite call diversity. Traditional male role models have been killed off by feminist poison applying labels like toxic masculinity, mansplaining and manspreading. That is why males are committing suicide by increasing numbers, while others queue up for sex change from ever earlier age.
The paradox is that cis females are going out of their way to behave like the worst overbearing patronising males. They are soldiers for the hedonistic elite in a culture that has the lower orders doing all the dirty dangerous health destroying work, as I have done, where smoking and drinking is a heavily taxed pleasure, also paying most of the income tax, to keep the tax dodging elite cosseted and in comfort, including Starmer’s ilk with the expensive untaxable freebies.
Now, like Hitler, but without his provocation, excuses, history and PTSD, Starmer and Johnson leads the world in the race for a Third World War that will end the world as we knew it.

Biden Reneges on His Ukraine Promise
He classifies a strategy document that Congress made the price of aid.
President Biden styled himself as a stalwart supporter of Ukraine’s freedom in his valedictory at the United Nations this week, and the press agrees. But the less admirable side of the President’s Ukraine legacy is on display as the Administration refuses to level with Congress and the American public about its strategy to win the war.
Volodymyr Zelensky Visits the White House and Trump Tower
As part of its Ukraine supplemental funding bill this year, Congress stipulated that the Biden Administration submit a strategy for U.S. aid, due within 45 days. The Administration has been notorious for dragging its feet on specific weapons or failing to offer systems in the quantities required for Ukraine to retake its territory from Russia. The Biden Team has hid behind platitudes such as supporting Ukraine “as long as it takes,” which isn’t a strategy. It long ago became a rhetorical evasion.
The White House said Thursday the U.S. would offer Kyiv an additional Patriot air defense battery; munitions known as Joint Standoff Weapons; and open up 18 more training slots for Ukrainian F-16 pilots. All these are worthy and long overdue.
But Republicans in Congress are right to insist that the Administration articulate a larger theory of how Ukraine can use the assistance to regain momentum and take more territory back from Mr. Putin. The stagnation on the battlefield has produced public skepticism in the U.S. that jeopardizes continuing American support no matter who wins the presidential race, even though American voters don’t want Mr. Putin to prevail. But Mr. Biden isn’t filling in the blanks.
The day after U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin called for a diplomatic solution between Israel and Lebanese Hezbollah, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the U.N. General Assembly to “set the record straight” regarding some speakers’ “lies and slanders.”

Putin proposes new rules for using nuclear weapons
Frances Mao
BBC News
- Published25 September 2024
Updated 26 September 2024
Vladimir Putin says Russia would consider an attack from a non-nuclear state that was backed by a nuclear-armed one to be a “joint attack”, in what could be construed as a threat to use nuclear weapons in the war in Ukraine.
In key remarks on Wednesday night, the Russian president said his government was considering changing the rules and preconditions around which Russia would use its nuclear arsenal.
Ukraine is a non-nuclear state that receives military support from the US and other nuclear-armed countries.
His comments come as Kyiv seeks approval to use long-range Western missiles against military sites in Russia.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has travelled to the US this week and is due to meet US President Joe Biden in Washington on Thursday, where Kyiv’s request is expected to be top of the agenda.
Ukraine has pushed into Russian territory this year and wants to target bases inside Russia which it says are sending missiles into Ukraine.
Responding to Putin’s remarks, Zelensky’s chief of staff Andriy Yermak said Russia “no longer has anything other than nuclear blackmail to intimidate the world”.
Putin has threatened the use of nuclear weapons before. Ukraine has criticised it as “nuclear sabre-rattling” to deter its allies from providing further support.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken described the comments as “totally irresponsible” in an MSNBC television interview.
Russian ally China has also called for calm, with reports President Xi Jinping has warned Putin against using nuclear arms.
But on Wednesday, after a meeting with his Security Council, Putin announced the proposed radical expansion.
A new nuclear doctrine would “clearly set the conditions for Russia to transition to using nuclear weapons,” he warned – and said such scenarios included conventional missile strikes against Moscow.
He said that Russia would consider such a “possibility” of using nuclear weapons if it detected the start of a massive launch of missiles, aircraft and drones into its territory, which presented a “critical threat” to the country’s sovereignty.
He added: “It is proposed that aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear state, but with the participation or support of a nuclear state, be considered as their joint attack on the Russian Federation.”
The country’s nuclear arms were “the most important guarantee of security of our state and its citizens”, the Kremlin leader said.
Since the end of World War Two, nuclear-armed states have engaged in a policy of deterrence, which is based on the idea that if warring states were to launch major nuclear strikes it would lead to mutually assured destruction.
But there are also tactical nuclear weapons which are smaller warheads designed to destroy targets without widespread radioactive fallout.
In June, Putin delivered a warning to European countries supporting Ukraine, saying Russia had “many more [tactical nuclear weapons] than there are on the European continent, even if the United States brings theirs over.”
“Europe does not have a developed [early warning system],” he added. “In this sense they are more or less defenceless.”
At the time he had hinted of changes to Russia’s nuclear doctrine – the document which sets out the conditions under which Moscow would use nuclear weapons.
The Kremlin said on Thursday that changes outlined by Putin should be considered a warning to the West.
Elaborating on the move, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters: “It must be considered a specific signal – a signal that warns these countries of the consequences if they participate in an attack on our country by various means, not necessarily nuclear.”
Peskov said that Russia would make a decision on whether not to publish the updated nuclear documents, adding that adjustments to the document on state nuclear deterrence were being formulated.
Trump meets Zelensky and says it’s time to end Russia’s war
Watch: We’ll work with both sides of war to get this settled, Trump says

Donald Trump met Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky at his New York base in Trump Tower on Friday and said it was time Russia’s war in Ukraine was settled.
The Republican presidential nominee has repeatedly criticised the Ukrainian leader on the US campaign trail, and a meeting between the pair had seemed unlikely until hours before.
As the two men stood side by side, Zelensky said he thought they had a “common view that the war has to be stopped and Putin can’t win”, adding that he would discuss with Trump details of his “victory plan”.
Despite years of differences, Trump insisted he had a very good relationship with Zelensky.
“I also have a very good relationship as you know with President Putin and I think if we win [the election] we’re going to get it resolved very quickly,” he said.
Afterwards, Trump and Zelensky spoke to Fox News and the former president said he “learned a lot” from the meeting.
“We both want to see this end, and we both want to see a fair deal made,” he said. “It should stop and the president (Zelensky) wants it to stop, and I’m sure President Putin wants it to stop and that’s a good combination.”
Zelensky said: “Putin killed so many people and of course we need to do everything to pressure him to stop this war. He’s on our territory.”
Zelensky invited Trump to visit Ukraine, and Trump replied: “I will”.
The Ukrainian president later posted on his Telegram channel that the pair had a “very meaningful meeting”.
What might Hezbollah, Israel and Iran do next?

- Published28 September 2024
Israel’s assassination of Hassan Nasrallah, the long–standing leader of Hezbollah, is a major escalation in its war with the Lebanese militant group.
It has, potentially, brought the region one step closer to a much wider and even more damaging conflict, one that pulls in both Iran and the US.
So where is it likely to go from here?
That largely depends on three basic questions.
What will Hezbollah do?
Hezbollah is reeling from blow after blow.
Its command structure has been decapitated, with more than a dozen top commanders assassinated. Its communications have been sabotaged with the shocking detonations of its pagers and walkie-talkies, and many of its weapons have been destroyed in air strikes.
The US-based Middle East security analyst Mohammed Al-Basha says: “The loss of Hassan Nasrallah will have significant implications, potentially destabilising the group and altering its political and military strategies in the short term.”
But any expectation that this vehemently anti-Israel organisation is going to suddenly give up and seek peace on Israel’s terms is likely to be misplaced.
Hezbollah has already vowed to continue the fight. It still has thousands of fighters, many of them recent veterans of combat in Syria, and they are demanding revenge.
It still has a substantial arsenal of missiles, many of them long-range, precision-guided weapons which can reach Tel Aviv and other cities. There will be pressure within its ranks to use those soon, before they too get destroyed.
But if they do, in a mass attack that overwhelms Israel’s air defences and kills civilians, then Israel’s response is likely to be devastating, wreaking havoc on Lebanon’s infrastructure, or even extending to Iran.
What will Iran do?
This assassination is as much of a blow to Iran as it is to Hezbollah. It’s already announced five days of mourning.
It’s also taken emergency precautions, hiding away its leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamanei, in case he too gets assassinated.
Iran has yet to retaliate for the humiliating assassination in July of the Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in a Tehran guesthouse. What has happened now will be causing hardliners in the regime to contemplate some kind of response.
Iran has a whole galaxy of allied heavily-armed militias around the Middle East, the so-called “Axis of Resistance“.
As well as Hezbollah, it has the Houthis in Yemen, and numerous groups in Syria and Iraq. Iran could well ask these groups to step up their attacks on both Israel and US bases in the region.
But whatever response Iran chooses, it will likely calibrate it to be just short of triggering a war that it cannot hope to win.
What will Israel do?
If anyone was in any doubt before this assassination, they won’t be now.
Israel clearly has no intention of pausing its military campaign for the 21-day ceasefire proposed by 12 nations, including its closest ally, the United States.
Its military reckon they have Hezbollah on the back foot now, so it will want to press on with its offensive until the threat of those missiles is removed.
Short of a capitulation by Hezbollah – which is unlikely – it is hard to see how Israel can achieve its war aim of removing the threat of Hezbollah attacks without sending in troops on the ground.
The Israel Defense Forces have released footage of its infantry training close to the border for this very purpose.
But Hezbollah has also spent the last 18 years, since the end of the last war, training to fight the next one. In his final public speech before his death, Nasrallah told his followers that an Israeli incursion into south Lebanon would be, in his words, “a historic opportunity”.
For the IDF, going into Lebanon would be relatively easy. But getting out could – like Gaza – take months.
Comment By accident or design, this conflict is good news for Russia. If the latter, as I suspect, then the Anglo U.S led Nato Proxy war on Russia is the reason why.

Captured soldier urges countrymen to get out of Ukraine
Vasily Kozub surrendered without a fight when Russian troops entered his dugout
MOSCOW, September 27. /TASS/. A captured soldier from the 25th Separate Airborne Brigade of the Ukrainian armed forces has called on his fellow countrymen to leave the country before things fall apart completely there, according to a video released by the Russian Defense Ministry.
Vasily Kozub said in the video that he was forcibly taken to the army straight off the street. Along with many other soldiers, he was sent to the front lines and promised rotation, which never happened. Kozub surrendered without a fight when Russian troops entered his dugout.
“Ordinary guys are being grabbed off the street while those with money sit comfortably at home. The West is using Ukrainians as proxies in this war, while the situation in the country is only getting worse. <…> Leave Ukraine for other countries because there’s no light at the end of this tunnel,” Kozub added.

NATO prepares plan for huge casualties in case of war with Russia
Story by David Averre
NATO is developing mass evacuation and rescue plans in case of a future war with Russia, a senior general has declared.
Lieutenant-General Alexander Sollfrank, the head of NATO’s logistics command, confirmed this week the security bloc is working to ensure it has the operational capability to extract large numbers of wounded troops from the front lines.
The German general warned that, unlike allies’ experience in Afghanistan and Iraq, an all-out war with Russia would likely see NATO incur heavy losses across a huge battlefield.
What’s more, Russia’s air force and its vaunted rocket and missile stockpiles mean that medical evacuations via aircraft would be too risky – a factor that could force NATO’s forces to operate ‘hospital trains’ to extract the wounded en-masse.
‘The challenge will be to swiftly ensure high-quality care for, in the worst case, a great number of wounded,’ he said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said the war with Russia could end sooner than some people think.
“I think that we are closer to peace than we think. We just have to be very strong, very strong,” he said.
Speaking to US broadcaster ABC News, Zelensky also said that the victory plan he would present to US President Joe Biden this week would require Ukraine’s allies to “strengthen” the Ukrainian army.
Zelensky said the plan was not about negotiating with Russia, but rather it was “a bridge to a diplomatic way out, to stop the war”.
He added that Ukraine could only push Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the conflict if Kyiv was coming from a “strong position”.
On Tuesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia was being cautious about media reports of a Ukrainian plan and added that the conflict would only end when Russia’s aims were achieved.
Zelensky has long asked Western countries to allow Ukraine to ease restrictions on the use of long-range missiles which could be used to strike deep into Russia and he is expected to do so again this week as he visits the US.
On Sunday, Biden said he had not yet decided whether to give Ukraine the green light. Zelensky said the US would need to lead the decision: “Everybody’s looking up to [Biden], and we need this to defend ourselves,” he told ABC.
Zelensky will speak at the UN General Assembly on Wednesday and is also due to meet US presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
The president of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel, told the New York Times that Ukraine would have to be “realistic” about its prospects of recovering the areas in the east of the country which Russia has managed to gain over the last 31 months of war.
He added that the most likely outcome of the war was that a part of Ukrainian territory would remain under Russian occupation for a number of years.
A defeat of either Ukraine or Russia “will simply not happen”, Pavel told the Times, adding that the end of the conflict would be “somewhere in between”.
Zelensky’s US trip comes as Ukraine continues to come under sustained attack by Russia.
Imperialist powers turn UN General Assembly into a war summit
The US and its imperialist allies are seeking to use the United Nations General Assembly to inflame bloody military conflicts all over the world.
Welcome to Balance of Power, bringing you the latest in global politics. If you haven’t yet, sign up here.
It’s a telling sign of the state of global affairs that Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s first stop on his US visit was in the swingiest of swing states in the presidential election: Pennsylvania.
The visit was to an ammunition factory, one of the few in the country making the kind of artillery shells that Ukraine is running low on in its fight against Russia. What’s more it’s in Scranton, President Joe Biden’s home town and a symbol for the disaffected voter in the Rust Belt that will decide who wins.
Once a leader of the industrial revolution, this is a part of America succumbing to Donald Trump’s angry incantations about restoring it to its past glory.
Pennsylvania also happens to be home to one of the largest Ukrainian American populations in the US. The race is that tight and Kamala Harris — as well as Biden and Trump — have campaigned heavily in the Keystone state.
The Ukrainian leader, who’s pressing the US to allow him to use Western long-range weapons in Russia, wants to unveil his “victory plan” to end the war to both Republican and Democrat presidential candidates. He can’t afford to play favorites.
After a speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, he heads to Washington to see Biden and Vice President Harris.
He’s also hoping Trump — who refuses to say whether he wants Ukraine to prevail against Russian President Vladimir Putin — will make time for him. “My feeling is that Trump doesn’t really know how to stop the war even if he might think he knows how,” Zelenskiy told the New Yorker.
Last year in the US, Zelenskiy cut a petulant figure, publicly squabbling with Poland and coming across as ungrateful to his allies. This time he’s one of a number of foreign leaders directly inserting themselves into the US election in ways unthinkable not that long ago.
Then again a lot of unthinkable things have happened in US politics of late.— Flavia Krause-Jackson

Harrods’ ex-owner Al Fayed raped, assaulted staff over decades, lawyers say
- Harrods apologises after former owner faces rape allegations
- Mohamed Al Fayed raped and sexually assaulted several former female ex-employees, BBC reports
- Harrods says it is ‘appalled’ by allegations against Al Fayed
- Says Harrods is a very different organisation today
LONDON, Sept 20 (Reuters) – The late Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Al Fayed sexually abused female staff at his London department store Harrods, forced them to have medical screenings and threatened consequences if they tried to complain, lawyers for alleged victims said on Friday.
One woman who had worked for Fayed at the luxury Knightsbridge store called him “a monster”.
Harrods apologised on Thursday after more than 20 women told the BBC Al Fayed had sexually abused and in some cases raped them. He died last year aged 94.
“Underneath Harrods glitz and glamour was a toxic, unsafe and abusive environment,” lawyer Gloria Allred told a press conference.
She said the allegations included serial rape, attempted rape, sexual battery and sexual abuse of minors, perpetrated over 25 years.
Another lawyer, Dean Armstrong, said they were representing 37 women and that number would likely grow.
Natacha is one of them.
“Seeing his obituary just over a year ago triggered such a huge emotion,” she told reporters, without giving her last name. “I could not believe that this monster had gotten away with his crime.”
Comment What the media and policians call Britain or the U.K is actually a ruling elite, including senior unaccountable police officers and the corrupt Crown Prosecuton Sevice (CPS), headed up by adulterer heriditary monarch King Charles III, the ulimate ‘privileged white male’ and father of two other privileged white males. Consesus polticians are there to defend and advance that ruling eilte interest. Minions don’t matter and are easily replaced by desperate economic migrants who, also advance the mesmerisng ‘image’ of a wonderful, ever ‘coming together’ diverse multi culture.
So when one of Al Fayed’s rape victims provided a recording of this man raping her, the CPS refused to prosecute. This institutionally corrupt organsation whch costs the taxpayer billions per annum, was then headed up by Britain’s new Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer at the time, a job that automatically earned him a knighthood.
Experience has taught me all too well about the CPS, its highly selective choice of cases and routine refusals to disclose evidence – national interest being a favourite when important but dubious state figures need protection. My latest over four year experience to date, is a case in point, where a CPS lawyer actually said that they had never been interested as to whether I was or was not hundreds of miles away from the home of a very important state official who stated that he had seen me within 100 metres of his home over the weekend of October 3rd/4th/5th 2008 and been told by a third party that I had been threatening violence to him. This person even said that a police sergeant (I have the sergeant’s name) had found me there.
So my alleged stalking victim was able to get me a Section 59 PNC Criminal Vehilce Marker without following any rules for warnings and verification and a very serious fabricated covert criminal record, destroying myself and eldest son professionally on the basis of lies that we had been stalking him and his family. I have been prosecuted too many times due to my efforts to gain explanations and disclosure of records, in spite of two police forces repeating their mantra “It’s all been investigated.”
That was in October 2008, but the nightmare continues followng me updating my report in 2019 following false arrest for gay protitution allegedly working for my son and his gangster associates in a home based brothel ,using fabricated evidence that had nothing to do with me, me allegedly having anonymously informed the important aforementioned state official et al. They recorded all as fact that I had committed this offence because Thames Valley Police judged me criminally insane. So Thames Valley Police rushed to inform the Gender Identity Clinic accordingly. According to the ‘Acting’ DC arresting officer, I had sent all parties the material to settle a grudge against my eldest son and because I am insane.
Thus my overdue gender reassignment surgery being made conditional on me accepting that I am a paranoid schizophrenic, delusional and bi polar, accepting this as what the GIC’s Dr Kirpal Sahota called part of the ‘deal.’ I refused and reacted accordingly. The fact that I can prove being hundreds of miles away from my alleged victim’s home over that October 2008 weekend,, which is 158 miles away from mine, was never of interest to police or CPS. They even said so in Crown Court in May 2020.They have their reasons and I am already facing jail for publishing them previously. That is life in Police State Britain. It is why certain rapes are never reported because social status, ethnicity, class, power and wealth says so. When a powerful man or male police officer, like rapist and murderer Wayne Couzens, commits a hideous crime, the media has to rush to codemn all men.
Meanwhile, feminist leaders pump out their propaganda that all will be well when women are in charge of everything. As an old fashioned social scientist, it is not difficult to spot what old time sociologist Talcott Parsons called ‘latent tension management’ at work here. In plain English, feminism serves a similar but ongoing smokescreen effect. The ruling elite back this permeating poison with temporary crises, like Covid 19 lockdown and the current countdown to full blown World War III. That is life in Police State Britain.

Their heaven is the masses hell. This is a great smokescreen –
by R J Cook
This U.S Election is more about foreign policy than any other I can remember. Democrat President Elect Kamala Harris has said as much while paying lip service to millions of struggling white Americans and promising the world to blacks and ‘women of colour just like her.’
The politically correct liberal elite interface for the industrial and military mad men who run the United States, whole western world and most of the impoverished exploited global south, know that they will win this election by fair means or foul. The NATO proxy war on Russia must come to the right conclusion for their further enrichment. They, like the British and European elites don’t care about the impact on their lower class subjects.
The U.S elite regime consumes 52%of all the world’s natural resources consumed in any one year and have a bigger carbon footprint than the rest of the world put together. They and their European elite lackeys like Von der Leyen, Scholz and Starmer are prepared for a nuclear war with all its consequences and may strike first as they did with Japan to stop the Russians getting there first. Nice people do not get to the top of the human dung heap. They will stop at nothing so long as they are not paying the taxes for it.
That is why they have brought back religion with an unbeatable ‘divide and rule’ approach. With all the western thought control and censorship laws, saying a word against any migrant religious group is now a hate crime because religion is now reclassified as a race. Forget the good old days when there were only four racial groups, Mongoloid, Caucasoid , Negroid and Mixed races. This is the age of white liberal elite virtue signalling, where lesser whites are ordered to ‘check your privilege.’
This is a great smokescreen worthy of the nineteenth century religious hypocrites who built an empire on bullshit and working class white male bloodshed.
So this is the great liberal age of ‘wummin’ and fighting racism. We are supposed to believe that Harris is going to sort all of that, just like Obama and Biden before her. They won’t do that. They need the underclass, not just for cheap labour. Harris and the Democrats et al, need the ‘huddled masses.’ That’s why she ensured the border has stayed open. It is also a lot cheaper than having the CIA ( and MI6 in Chile ) funding and running all those little regime change wars. I had the privilege of working for the Nitrate Corporation of Chile and know more than a little about how those people operate.
That is why I am not surprised by what is happening to Donald Trump in the greatest most fake excuse for democracy in the whole world. He was labelled and harassed by billionaire and U.K state media as soon as he was elected in 2016. Because this hectoring self righteous collection of hacks whoring for the deep state, never remind us how Princess Hilary Clinton, confident of being Queen, ranted and wrote about how she had been robbed of her kingdom.
Donald Trump has said that he just wants the war in Ukraine to end, so stopping all the killing and waste of life. The ruthless deep state profiteering swamp dwellers, particularly the weapons builders and dealers profiting at taxpayers expense, don’t want that. Their heaven is the masses hell.
Apart from being outspoken and not a natural lying smirking patronising politician, Donald Trump is a womaniser, or ‘lady’s man’ as we used to say. In this age of mass surveillance and ‘kiss and tell’ women, that is not a safe occupation. Unless you are Prince Andrew or police officer etc. forcing himself on an underage girl, it will catch up with you. There is no evidence that Trump forced himself on E Jean Carroll who modelled lingerie for him in Macy’s Department store. Why did she go with him alone into a ladies fitting room, forget about it until over 30 years later when she could not even remember the precise date – even though she was a professional New York gossip columnist ? People like us do not forget things like that. We write things down and store documents – as the CPS have discovered during their on going efforts to prosecute me and jail me.
Donald Trump is a man from the past desperate to rebuild a past and better United States that only ever existed in select areas, classes and industries. In the unlikely event he survives to win that election, his romanticised vision could become a blue print for a better world, starting in the nation that gave us the magnificent Empire State building. But that did not happen without costing human lives.
Here in the U.K, mainstream media makes much of Trump the sex offender threat to all women, because he was convicted, under rule of a Democrat judge in Democrat New York in the absurd Carroll case which proves a woman can hold a man to ransom,without evidence, for the rest of his life. The ridiculous Stormy Daniels affair and hush money has been used to cast Trump as a serious business fraud while the late Mike Lynch has been hailed as a hero in the massive fraud case brought against him by Hewlett Packard. Former Tory Minister David Davies wants the extradition law changed to protect men like him in future. That says it all about the U. K’s double standards and how its elite pull strings in the U.S when they want to.

Suspect charged as Trump accuses Biden and Harris of incitement
Ryan Wesley Routh charged with gun-related offenses after apparent assassination attempt against former president

The suspect in the second apparent assassination attempt of Donald Trump in as many months was charged in federal court on Monday morning with two gun-related crimes, as urgent investigations began into how he was able to get so close to the former US president.
As the US continued to react in shock to the latest apparent attempt on Trump’s life, the Republican presidential nominee added to the already tense atmosphere around the US election campaign by making highly inflammatory remarks explicitly blaming Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for inciting the attack and calling them “the enemy within”.
Ryan Wesley Routh wore dark-blue prison scrubs in the courthouse and shackles on his hands and feet. He sat quietly for about five minutes with no visible signs of nervousness before marshals led him back out to await his hearing. He was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and with having a gun with an obliterated serial number – probably just preliminary charges to allow authorities to keep him in custody while additional charges are brought.
Cellphone records showed that Routh camped out near the golf course for about 12 hours, with food, before being confronted by a Secret Service agent. The Associated Press reported that in court documents unsealed on Monday, officials said Routh’s cellphone was shown near the tree line at Trump’s golf course from 1.59am until 1.31pm on Sunday, around which point a Secret Service agent shot at him after seeing his rifle through the foliage. Routh fled in an SUV before being arrested by local law enforcement officers in a neighboring county.
Trump meanwhile announced that he blamed the president and vice-president for the shooting because they have criticized him as a threat to democracy.

“Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, when I am the one who is going to save the country and they are the ones that are destroying the country – both from the inside and out,” Trump told Fox News Digital.
“These are people that want to destroy our country,” he added. “It is called the enemy from within. They are the real threat.”

British voters no longer want a two-party state
Multi-party politics has arrived in England and it is here to stay
By Ben Walker
Ahead of the election this summer, pollsters overstated enthusiasm for Labour by a margin over and above what we should typically expect in polling. Some of this can be attributed to the fact that Labour were on a sure-fire course for Number 10 (which led some projected Labour voters to stay at home, for example). But the Conservative vote was marginally understated too. It seems that polling is just as saturated with the overopinionated (or ideologically motivated) as the rest of media.
Some pollsters have moved on from their mistakes and published new surveys. And More In Common’s recent numbers do not look good for Labour (“down but not out” is becoming a frequent refrain in the early days of their premiership). The Tories are stable but low, and Reform is sitting with its numbers in the high-teens.
More In Common and BMG pin the Labour lead at four points ahead of the Conservatives, which is down from 10 at the election. To rely on just two pollsters in a sparsely covered field, though, is a risky endeavour. The Britain Elects poll tracker has the Labour lead at eight points.
https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/Rkp0q/1
Over one-in-ten of Labour’s 2024 base are now unsure of sticking with the party. A few have drifted to the Greens, some to Reform, several are just apathetic. Meanwhile, Reform and Tory voters are more certain, and more likely to turn out to vote if an election were held today.

That doesn’t mean the Conservatives are gaining much. Besides an apparent two per cent of the Labour base switching to blue, they’re shedding one in ten of their supporters to Reform. https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/FPL0c/1/
Labour’s overwhelming majority and the enduring impotence of the Conservatives means that Labour’s stability is not in question. There is – as yet – no enthusiasm building around the Conservatives. And not all those unhappy with Labour will look towards the Tories in four years time. Disaffected voters might go to Reform, the Greens and the Liberal Democrats. It has been said before, but one more time with force: multi-party politics is here in Britain and it’s here for the foreseeable.

The Anglo Americans are more subtle than Putin but far more authoritarian than Russia and excellent at hypocrisy. ‘Starner the Harmer’ has wasted no time enforing the U.K law and planning more to ‘keep us safe.’ That is why he went to Wshington for permission to fire deadly missiles into Russia to destroy military bases and airfields. The massess in the west have no idea why Russia went to war in Ukraine, but I have.
Many of my generation pass on stories of the saintly British fighting Germany and their allies, for the same old rubbish about freedom and demcracy, when it is all about ruling elites, money and power. Younger men are poorly educated in affairs of state, the brighter ones accepting the brainwashing on the road to lucrative careers. Too many are on drugs and alcoholics because growing up in one parent familes have given them no sense of what is going on. More and more girls kill themseves as they cannot cope with trying to be feminists and new women.
That leaves the playing field wide open for posturing deceitful policians under the likes of Biden and Starmer who should be barred from public office for running an institutionally corrupt Crown Prosecution Service which sent and still sends innocent men and women to jail. Now with Biden unwilling to authorise World War Three, his Foreign Minister is leading the argument to lead Europe into the nuclear holocaust regardless. He has plenty of old Tory Warmongers and military mad people to back him up.
So starving freezing pensioners, you’ll be very warm soon and on your way to better pastures. Starmer is very sorry about cutting the winter fuel payment, but the war and illegal economic migrants must come first. Be happy, £1.4 billion saved to freeze you to death is going to good causes, like the 801 illegals who arrived in the U.K today.
Be proud. Be British. And do as you are told because there are lot of new prisons on the way.

The US and Russia on the verge of open war
On Friday, US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer met to discuss the decision to begin striking large sections of the Russian mainland with NATO missiles launched from Ukraine.
Trump doubles down on anti-immigrant lies after bomb threats force closure of Springfield schools, City Hall again
After accusing Haitian immigrants of “destroying their way of life” in Springfield, Trump promised to carry out “the largest deportation in the history of our country, and we are going to start with Springfield and Aurora.”
Government-backed Ukrainian Canadian Congress opposes naming 900 Nazi war criminals who found refuge in Canada
The main argument raised against the Canadian government revealing the names of the mass murderers it allowed into the country following World War II is that it would harm the imperialist powers’ war on Russia. There could hardly be a more damning admission as to the character of the regime backed by Washington and Ottawa in Kiev.

“Robert, you certainly know how to go for the jugular.”
This site vanished from the net for several days two weeks ago, long enough for my regular international readers to forget it exists. It is already subject to severe U.K and Google restrictions. It is a site of interest to the police, as was my facebook page. I cannot say why the U.K Police are so interested in me, for legal reasons. This site is not the most radical, best or subversive on the world wide web because I am a conservative Trump and Farage supporter. However, as my old history teacher and mentor John Skinner told me in 1985, when I started working for the ‘Aylesbury Plus’ : “Robert, you certainly know how to go for the jugular.”
Judging by the number of angry Thatcherite, vested interests and other narrow minded readers sending angry letters asking the editor to sack me, I do have that talent. There are better websites than mine, so I provide the links. However, as an experienced teacher, author, journalist, school governor and senior member of my local council for 16 years, I know how to analyse, collate and relate data to the public in ways they can’t fail to understand whether they like it or not. I becamse used to their insults that I was jealous and nuts, using their stupidity for yet more column inches, delighting my editors in the process. Many vested interests, like the police and other small minds understand what I am saying all too well.
Britain has just had 6 so called diplomats expelled from Russia, who are obviously on the ground coordinators for spies and dissidents. U.K Media is pleading their innocence adter having been party to similar antics, including being party to framing Julian Assange for rape, then jailing him in the run up to having him extradited to their fellow elite run incestuous offspring the United States of America.
The following link shows exactly where these pampered wealth and power grabbing greedy pleasure bent imbeciles are taking the world, confident that they can endure the fall out, ensconed in luxury well stocked bumkers with treated water, generators and fuel sypplies, while the masses fight and fry above ground for lives that are no longer worth living. Only a moron will believe that Russia will not make an extreme response.
If I gave someone a gun to shoot my worst enemy, I could not claim that the serious consequences had nothing to do with me. So Vladimir Putin has warned that the U.S lifting missile restrictions will put NATO at war with Russia. Putin is far from stupid. He knows that NATO are already at war with Russia and all out World War III is on a hair trigger. He also knows that ‘Starmer the Harmer’s’ U.K is the U.S leading rabble rouser with old army buffers like de Bretton Gordon champing at the bit – true to his Norman ancestry. These people are in a big hurry for all out war, just in case all the mainstream media, including the BBC, election tampering propaganda doesn’t pay off. They want don’t want a repeat of 2016, which was supposed to be a foregone conclusion for a Clinton victory.
By the way, the authorities have to play down the escalating NATO Ukraine War on Russia situation to justify what they are doing and allay panic. The masses think these sitiations only happen in action and apocolypse movies far removed from the real world. So just as they started by telling us that the Covid 19 outbreak was nothing to worry the west, all of a sudden hell broke loose and we had life destroying lockdowns. The same seems certain to happen with World War III, because the big egos and power crazed regime change western elites can’t afford to back down. Neither can Putin.
This is Apocalypse Now. Gaza protests are allowed because the masses won’t see the connection with Israel, Iran and the wider Middle East. Here the west are very much in competition with Russia – as they are in Africa, which is riddled with consequent civil wars over who profits from the continent’s massive wealth. Elite Western media packages it all up as West equals good, Russia and their allies equals bad. It is all much more complicated but way beyond the attention span and stimuli available to the masses.

Authorizing NATO weapons strikes in Russia, US prepares major escalation of global war
The United States and its NATO allies are imminently preparing to announce that they will facilitate Ukraine firing NATO weapons deep into Russian territory, in the greatest escalation of the war with Russia to date.

Germany’s next scheduled national election is still more than a year away yet it’s already clear that migration will dominate campaigning.
The risk is that it becomes a distraction from the real challenges confronting Europe’s biggest economy.
In a fiery speech in parliament in Berlin today, Chancellor Olaf Scholz lashed out at opposition leader Friedrich Merz, accusing the likely conservative candidate for his job of chasing cheap headlines in the battle against irregular migration.
In truth, both men are sounding tougher on immigration to try to check extreme forces on the right and left that want to slash migrant numbers. Frustration with Scholz’s coalition on the topic is a key reason why the far-right AfD party won a recent regional election.
Polls suggest that anti-immigration forces will again make gains in a Sept. 22 vote in Brandenburg, the state that surrounds Berlin and is home to Scholz’s Potsdam constituency.
There are, in fact, plenty of reasons for German voter dismay. The economy is stagnating and Volkswagen yesterday scrapped decades-old job protections, a symbol of the deepening woes facing the country’s once all-powerful carmakers.
Yet as Mario Draghi so meticulously documented in his report published Monday, all Europe must reform to better compete with the US and China. That means developing advanced technologies, meeting ambitious climate targets, bolstering defense capabilities and securing critical raw materials, among other European Union measures.

Who won the Harris-Trump presidential debate?
Donald Trump and Kamala Harris met for the first time on the presidential debate stage in Philadelphia on Tuesday night.
They may have shaken hands, but they did not hit it off.
In a fiery 90 minutes, Harris frequently rattled the former president with personal attacks that threw him off message and raised the temperature of this highly-anticipated contest.
Her pointed digs on the size of his rally crowds, his conduct during the Capitol riot, and on the officials who served in his administration who have since become outspoken critics of his campaign repeatedly left Trump on the back foot.
The pattern for much of this debate was Harris goading her Republican rival into making extended defences of his past conduct and comments. He gladly obliged, raising his voice at times and shaking his head.
Americans should go to a Trump rally, Harris said during an early question about immigration, because they were illuminating. “People start leaving the rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom,” she said.
A snap CNN poll of voters watching, external said that Harris performed better and betting markets said the same, external.
This is a snapshot that could be momentary but the Harris tactic of putting Trump on the defensive was clear early in the evening when the topics covered were the economy and abortion.
Public opinion surveys indicate many Americans are unhappy with how the Biden administration – of which Harris is a key member – has handled inflation and the economy.
We’ll Leave That To The Deluded – By R J Cook
Comment The above is an extract from a BBC Report by Anthony Zurcher,their North America correspondent in Philadelphia. Notice that it is all about what Harris had to say and how she put Trump down and how he dared to raise his voice. This is the standard feminist public sector dismissal of any male person when there is no reasonable answer to his questions and obersvations.
I watched the whole ‘debate’ and have no doubt that the only person with anything worth listening to was coming from Trump’s nouth. But all Harris had to do in that patronising whining nasal tone of hers, meant to convey her peculiar brand of being female, was all about his Democrat directed dubious convictions. That was meant to derail his campaign, avoid answering direct questions, and talk up U.S Democrat plans for the most feared armed forces in the world and the need to ‘support our allies’ in the primary cause of U.S National Security.
The reality is that Harris’s Democrat policies are to serve the deep state along with their greedy power crazed military mad men. The Global South account for 80% of world popualtion and 40% of the world’s GDP. The Anglo U.S Elite and their corrupt bankers are very afraid. Ukraine has been one big NATO Plutocratic throw of the dice. As Trump pointed out during the debate, these plutocrats and kleptocrats don’t care how many die in a very dirtly war.
That war is about land and wealth grabbing and Putin would have to be an imbecile if he did not know what the Anglo Americans have been dragging Europer into. These people organised a coup to overthrow Viktor Ulyanich and his elected government because it was too friendly toward Russia. Then came western friendly Oligarch Poroshenko. Then came genocide of ethnic Russians in the Donbas. All Minsk Agreements were violated as NATO leaders set Russia up for war and regime change, surrounding them with new NATO members.
They went on to support the CIA placeman and ‘Chocolate King’ Poroshenko with one time clown, Zelensky. That is the essence of the situation. The Anglo American elite want all to believe that the war is about establising global freedom and democracy, which it would be for them, but hell for the masses. Trump knows that. So when asked the killer question; ‘Do you want Ukraine to defeat Russia ( as if they could without NATO’s state of the art weapons and satellite intelligence ), Trump replied “I want the war to end.”
That has been taken as another excuse for calling him an unpatriotic Russian agent. The fact is that Trump ‘s ideas are rooted in the real world of business and experience, not the employment of the Anglo American prosecution services like Kamala Harris and British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer . The latter was knighted for heading a service that routinely hid evidence ensuring that innocent men, and now Lucy Letby are jailed. They have been trying the same trick on me for the last 17 years.
Those two, Harris being assured of the Presidency by so called liberal honest media, are a perfect choice of leadership for the patronising English speaking leaders of the westernising plutocratic world. They are all about ever more laws to protect the masses’ political consensus approved ‘freedoms’ not freedom. The lower social orders, including me, have no worthwhile freedom whch is why some of us will be pleased to die, but not in a war for these vile hypocrites and liars who call themselves leaders. We’ll leave that to the deluded imbeciles and football fanatics.

14:30 – WILLIAM NATTRASSEU battle with China leaves no space for Ukraine Calls for peace show that Europe wants to focus on its own problems
Welcome to Balance of Power, bringing you the latest in global politics. If you haven’t yet, sign up here.
Two new developments underline the challenge facing Kyiv’s NATO allies and the growing risks of a direct confrontation with Moscow as Russia’s war on Ukraine approaches a third winter.
Iran sent ballistic missiles to Russia, sources told Bloomberg, at a time when the Kremlin is waging an intense bombing campaign aimed at wrecking Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and freezing its people into submission.
CIA chief William Burns said shipping such firepower to Russia would be a “dramatic escalation” of Iranian support, which has so far included supplying hundreds of combat drones. Tehran has insisted it isn’t arming either side.
At the same time, two NATO states reported weekend incidents with Russian UAVs.
Romania said fighter jets tracked a Russian drone that violated its airspace before heading into Ukraine.
Latvia summoned a Russian diplomat after a UAV crashed in the Baltic state’s east. President Edgars Rinkevics said NATO must act “collectively” against a growing number of such incidents.
The new Ukrainian foreign minister, Andrii Sybiha, urged the military alliance to deploy its air defenses “to intercept Russian missiles and drones over Ukraine.”
NATO has resisted any such direct conflict with Russia, wary of an escalation that could turn nuclear.
Delivery of substantial numbers of Iranian ballistic missiles would let Russia ramp up attacks on Ukrainian cities. That challenges Kyiv’s allies to strengthen air defenses, a task they’ve been slow to achieve so far.
And if Russian drones keep crossing into NATO airspace, the alliance must show it can protect itself robustly.
NATO isn’t likely to throw a protective shield over Ukrainian airspace. Kyiv’s backers also remain divided over letting it use donated long-range weapons to strike military airfields and launchpads inside Russia.
A sustained Russian blitz of Ukrainian cities and more drone incidents over NATO territory may start tilting those debates in Kyiv’s favor. — Anthony Halpin

Solutions come down to spin, jail and more police by R J Cook
Defining characteristics of Britain’s Western Democracy, apart from the absurdity of calling it a democracy, is its hypocrisy, serving the global elite super rich and moronic masses.
The writer Jeremy Seabrook, who was more than helpful with my three books on Northampton, was ahead of his time when he wrote the brilliant ‘The Everlasting Feast.’ This was in large part an account of the rise and fall of the once noble industrial shoe making town’s working class culture in and its 1960s redevelopment.
Published in 1974, Seabrook’s, caustic lament described the new road system as designed for a cosmic menstrual flow of the ever expanding town’s traffic. However, his book’s major abstraction was in describing the state of working class culture, as he saw it in his home town, as ‘mindless, soporific, and autophagous.’ That view now speaks for the state of the whole nation’s white working class culture fifty years later. It accounts for the white working class’s fascination with TV Programmes like ‘Big Brother’, ‘Goggle Box’ and ‘Naked Attraction’. The latter really and blatantly drives home the message that we are all ultimately animals, living accordingly in spite of all the modern disguise and religious distractions.
If one explores what has happened to black British working class culture since the first wave of West Indian immigration starting with the ‘Empire Windrush’ there is a similar decline. The black issue is confused by white liberal elite media, music and other art industries where the patronising mindset views all women and black people as part of one large downtrodden underclass. That is why there must not be any worthwhile investigation and publicity for black inner city violent gang crime, female criminality and dishonesty.
Official dishonesty requires certain ‘protected group characteristics’ to stabilise an inherently unstable system. These people must never be allowed to examine or question an imposed identity as blameless victims as ordained by the elite wealth and status obsessed ruling class system. The complex tribal and cultural diversity of African and Islamic economic migrants and those blacks with generations of history in this country, must be ignored. The white liberal ‘intellectual’ community patronise indigenous blacks, feeding them, as I learned as a young teacher in South London, with a warped history of all blacks being victims of white people and the slave trade.
In my experience of working in the secondary education system, white liberal teachers pumped out a daily diet that anything blacks ever did or have done wrong, was that the the fault was all down to a history on white oppression. Though the legend of Stephen Lawrence lives on, we are not allowed to make an issue of race regarding the black teen accused of murdering white teenager Harry Pitman who was stabbed to death on Primrose Hill at New Year after accidentally bumping into his killer who cannot be named for legal reasons.
According to an Evening Standard Court report ‘The killer and his black teenager friends had been in high spirits, drinking and smoking cigarettes (!!!!!) , and Harry had mixed in good humour with random members of the public and a police officer on duty in the park, it is said.’ The truth must not be told because it would upset the official one sided account of race relations and how to manage them. My generation of ambitious ‘know all’ teachers, especially with their sociology degrees in hand, have done more than their share of work planting and fertilising these increasingly life destroying divisions.
Of course it was a different story when a white West Mercia Police officer tasered a mentally ill Black British former Premier League League footballer to death outside his father’s home which he was trying to enter at the time. His name was Dalian Atkinson. The killer cop was PC Benjamin Monk who was on duty with his police partner and girlfriend. A jury at Birmingham Crown Court was discharged on after failing to reach a verdict on Monk’s at the-time-lover West Mercia probationary constable Mary Ellen Bettley-Smith, 31, who was accused of assaulting Mr Atkinson with her baton while he was on the ground. Monk, whose prior criminal record was overlooked by West Mercia Police senior management, killed Mr Atkinson by blasting him with a Taser three times and then kicking him twice in the head. West Mercia Police covered up the case for 5 years while the accused officers remained on the pay roll. Dalian Atkinson’s grieving girlfriend Karen Wright, has said the thought a killer police officer’s voice was the last thing the the ex-Premier League footballer heard is ‘haunting’.
Before the killing, Monk had twice been reported and exonerated for misusing his taser on four previous occasions. When the same forced tasered a 12 year old mentally ill girl, their Assistant Chief Constable Simon Chesterman and ACPO National firearms lead described her being shot as “Awful, but lawful.”
Mains stream local and national media, following police guidance, made light of Monk’s brutal killer cop behaviour at the time, focusing on Atkinson’s mental illness as they like to do when they are on the hook. It took the Monk family’s five year campaign to produce limited justice of Monk’s 5 year sentence and publicity, but the police will never change. The Starmer Labour Government needs them to keep the population down.
No distinctions are made between the cultural complexity within these easily manipulated blobs of females and blacks. In this way, the ‘liberal’ white elite stoke up the racism and division that they feed off. They use blacks and women to disparage and contain the type of white working class males who recently went on the rampage in Southport, becoming a perfect smokescreen when riot police were deployed to arrest and jail them. The question why a 17 year old black son of Rwandan asylum seekers killed and injured young white girls at a dance studio is never asked publicly. Any manifestation of mental health issues is dealt with by the NHS tick box technique using the heavy DSM (Diagnosis, Statistics and Medication). This psychiatrists manual has a preordained list of mental health conditions, tick box symptoms and medication that usually involves mind and body disabling anti psychotic drugs.
In the course of deluding and keeping the masses down, Starmer’s new Labour Government needs the ongoing war against sexism and abuse of females to distract the masses from the likes of freezing old folk to death so that he can scrape together more cash for the NATO proxy war on Russia and funding an unending flood of economic migrants claiming asylum.
So, in large part, feminists identify with and patronise blacks as an underclass needing their support and comradeship. With Muslims, feminists share the common ground of transphobia and exemption from related hate crimes. That is the irony of Britain’s allegedly diverse society where its mainstream politicians, mainstream media, school teachers, universities, public bodies, pressure groups and other agencies have been driving for uniformity ever since the end of the so called ‘Swinging Sixties.’ We are now in the age of new Labour Government Prime Minister Starmer, former head of a corrupt Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) of which former New Labour Attorney General Harriet Harman said : “Better to send an innocent man to jail for a rape he had not donethan let a guilty man go free.” See the case of CPS victim Andrew Malkinson who served 17 years in the hell of a U.K Jail as a Rule 49 NONCE. This is the trial by ordeal witch hunt mentality. This is the mentality of Police State Britain. The Malkinson case happened on Starmer’s CPS watch. Questioned recently on the matter in Parliament, Starmer replied : “Now is not the time to talk about it.” What kind of ‘democracy’ is this ‘democracy.’ ?
Starmer has shown his colours through his reaction to subsequent action to the Southport and related anti immigration protests which became riots because participants from ‘sink estates’ know they are not being listened to and have little left to lose except their very miserable lives. At the outset of these riots, there were stories so far not contradicted with evidence, that the 17 year old male responsible for the Southport knife massacre of a group of young white females in a dance studio, where adults were also injured, was the son of Rwandan asylum seekers. Rwanda is a stable Catholic African country. It was implied via social media that this boys family were among the Rwandan 2% Islamic minority, with this being their reason for claiming asylum. Hence the protestors and rioters misguided focus on a local Southport mosque.
For those of us owing no allegiance to any religion, these are difficult times because we don’t want a return to any political religious tyranny. That was what the 1960s fight for freedom was about. The fight for e equal rights was not meant to be raising new dominant interest groups for a new round of oppression as many sense happening with Islamism and Feminism joining forces to claim the moral high ground, while invoking more laws to protect and extend their interests.
The Anglo Catholics are very much on the side of returning to a share in a new ideological tyranny that never had anything to do with the teachings of Jesus Christ. Inevitably these parties spotted an opportunity for a share of this multi faith promised land. Their share of the religious belief industry has been shrivelling for decades. Now, thanks to political and wealth elites grappling for alternatives to jail building and more cops to contain conflicting social factors, bringing the disparate hopeless masses together in a huddle of multi faith euphoria looks like a fix. One word from any of us against the politically correct multi faith madness and fatuous feminism and the racist sexist label is applied with jail awaiting.
The clue to the hypocrisy and nonsense here is an oft repeated phrase used whenever there is another inevitable socio economic crisis that “ We must come together.” We are not meant to notice, then suggest that such conflicts happen precisely because we are not together in any agreeable or natural way. We are forced together under the force of an elite tyranny on pain of jail if we step out of line. Like the frogs put in cold water to boil, we are not supposed to notice the rising temperature. If us old folk watch nostalgia TV shows and films, we have to endure warnings about outdated attitudes that might cause offence, along with the really ‘shocking bits’ edited out. This happens along with ever more internet restrictions which is why this site was shut down for several days last week.
The latest government ban in the pipeline is the use of mobile phones in restaurants. Next it will a ban to using them on buses and trains, where it is already dangerous to speak freely to anyone on board, even friends or family, for fear of offending others or making prohibited comments. There will be no stopping Starmer and his new Labour Government. These people are desperate to intensify the NATO Proxy War on Russia, so a word in favour of Donald Trump is likely to mark a free thinking person’s card along the road to jail. The same goes for saying a good word about U.K Reform’s Nigel Farage because there must not be any meaningful alternative to a very corrupt system. Starmer’s type are not remotely interested in what caused the Southport Riots. Rather like Wellington and Peterloo, he regards these people as scum that needs washing away and is only interested in ensuring it never happens again. Consequently U. K’s squalid inhumane jails are full to bursting point. If the U.K Ruling class and elites cannot do better than this then it would be more humane to revive capital punishment.
Experience has taught me exactly how the police and justice system works. It is an injustice system for far too many. Starmer’s response to the Malkinson case and the Southport riots is definitive. He is a career person, not someone interested in corruption or causes. True to his record with the CPS. Solutions come down to spin, jail and more police. He has a massive majority of MPs because his party, with overwhelming mainstream media gained 34% of the 55% who bothered to vote in an elitist haughty peopled system that does not give a damn about them. Without more police and swift jail sentences and more police for dissident white people, Starmer fears a white working class uprising..
There are so may problems ‘Starmer the Harmer’ faces running the U.K based Kleptocracy and Plutocracy. He face and present many contradictions. Benefit cuts to the ‘deplorable’ chav working classes are inevitable with more scrutiny for chav claimants. There are ever increasing public sector pay demands, and from privatised railway franchise drivers because Government run GNER who have set the standard. The failing NHS is a bottomless pit overwhelmed by Third World economic migrants who also have to be housed, clothed and fed at the masses’ expense. There is worse inflation to come, with more immiseration for the economic underclass who will be paying for the Ukraine NATO proxy war on Russia in more ways than one.
The new Labour Government has already been given warning that the global elite super rich where 3% of the population own 62% of the wealth and control of the rest of it, will leave the U.K if they face higher taxes to support bankrupt Britain. These people rule and that rule will get much worse, especially as their war on Russia breaks cover. As I learned from my years working for what was then called HM Inspector of Taxes, that the bottom 20 % pay 40% of all U.K taxes from their slave like existence.
As a trained economist with experience in the City of London and helping rich people avoid tax, it is all very obvious to me, but U.K Masses are poorly educated to keep them in their places on a diet of mainstream news propaganda, bread and circuses. They have no clue to what is being done to them, many even voting for Starmer and his feminised government.
Paying for the war, ongoing mass illegal immigration and the ever demanding public sector, Starmer and his ministers know that there is likelihood of a mass uprising of white male chavs aka the ‘far right’ in the U.K, EU and even the U.S if the establishments dirty tricks to block Trump pay off. Their solution is more laws, more jails and more police ‘to keep us safe.’ That will require even more taxes for the lower orders. In reality it is about protecting their elite and corrupt system.

The Harry Pitman Murder Trial Latest
Harry Pitman opening Court Report : Schoolboy Harry Pitman was stabbed to death on Primrose Hill after accidentally bumping into another teenager while playing a game with a friend, the Old Bailey has heard.
The 16-year-old collapsed and died “almost immediately” after being stabbed in the neck at the popular beauty spot on New Year’s Eve last year while enjoying a night out with friends.
Jurors heard the teenager cried out “help” after being stabbed, moments before he collapsed, and nothing could be done to save his life.
Another teenager, 17, has admitted inflicting the fatal wound and is now on trial for murder.
Spurs fan Harry and friends had gone to the famous viewing platform at the top of the hill to watch the traditional fireworks display in central London.
The teenagers had been in high spirits, drinking and smoking cigarettes, and Harry had mixed in good humour with random members of the public and a police officer on duty in the park, it is said.
But “revelry turned to tragedy in the blink of an eye”, said prosecutor Jocelyn Ledward KC, after an accidental collision spiralled rapidly into violence, the Old Bailey heard
Jurors were told one eyewitness to the stabbing saw Harry “playing a game” with a friend while “trying to see how high he could kick by aiming at the hand of one of the girls nearby which she was holding up in the air”.
“He became unbalanced, and knocked into one of the group standing behind them”, said Ms Ledward.
Another eyewitness described Harry as “playfighting”, and the teenager who had been accidentally bumped into – a stranger to Harry – “reacted angrily and pushed Harry from behind on his back”.
That teenager’s friend is then accused of wading into the fight that broke out, fatally stabbing Harry with the knife he was carrying.
The stabbing itself was caught on camera, as well as some of Harry’s last words, and the clips have been played to the jury with members of Harry’s family sitting in the well of the courtroom.
Jurors have been told the teenager on trial for murder admits stabbing Harry, but is set to argue it was an accident and he was acting in self-defence at the time.
“On the evening of 31 December 2023, a large crowd gathered in the public park on Primrose Hill in North London, which has become quite a well-known place to have a good vantage point from which to view the now customary New Year’s Eve fireworks display on the Thames in Central London – quite a long, and spectacular, and flamboyant display”, she told the court.
“Harry had travelled to Primrose Hill with his close friends in order to celebrate New Year’s Eve.”
But she told jurors: “Revelry turned to tragedy in the blink of an eye: Harry Pitman, aged 16, was stabbed once, to the neck.
“He died almost immediately, as a result of that single but deadly injury.”
The suspected killer was himself 16-years-old at the time, and cannot be identified due to his age.
The court heard the streets of Primrose Hill were filled with cars and pedestrians that night, while the vantage point itself was populated by groups of revelers.
Harry’s group of friends arrived first at the location, and grew in number as the evening progressed.
The suspected killer’s group of friends arrived later in two taxis, the court heard.
“The defendant and the deceased Harry Pitman were strangers”, said Ms Ledward.
“Their respective groups of friends and acquaintances were also complete strangers to each other: there is no indication that anyone from one group had had any contact with anyone in the other group prior to this particular evening.”
Describing the sequence of events, Ms Ledward said the outbreak of violence was so swift that some people who were standing right next to Harry “did not see what happened”.
However a woman, Amaal Abdulahi, caught some of the incident on her mobile phone camera that she had out ready to film the fireworks.
The court heard the first clip showed Harry, wearing blue jeans, a white T-shirt, and a black Adidas jacket, speaking to the teenager he had accidentally bumped into, saying: “Don’t touch me, because I didn’t touch you”.
Ms Abdulahi saw Harry turning away and being slapped across the back of his head, and then recorded another clip lasting just over a minute which captured the stabbing itself.
Ms Ledward said there is a “scuffle” between Harry and the teenager he had bumped into, during which Harry is “grabbed by the scruff of the neck” and punches are thrown at him.
“Harry threw punches back, the last of which appears to have connected to (the boy’s) face or eye area”, said the prosecutor.
The other boy fell backwards, jurors heard, and the suspected killer is then accused of moving forward and joining the fight.
The court heard a woman’s voice is heard on the video, as a witness says “mindi” – the Somali word for ‘knife’, and the witness says she saw a teen boy “remove a knife from the waist area of his trousers, using one hand to hold his trousers and the other to pull the knife out”.
In the video, the court heard Harry and the suspected killer are seen fighting, and after Harry threw a series of punches the other boy is accused of stabbing him in the neck.
“(He) brings his right arm upwards from his side in an arc-ing motion, and down towards the top of Harry’s shoulder”, said Ms Ledward.
“A light-coloured, slim, shiny object held in his right hand catches the light. The prosecution suggest it must have been the knife.”
She said the boy “stabs downwards to the left of Harry’s neck, at the junction between his neck and his left shoulder. As he does so, a long, slim black object flies through the air in an arc above their heads. The prosecution suggest this must have been a knife sheath or scabbard.”
Bodyworn video from a police officer on duty on Primrose Hill captured the moment Harry pushed his way out of the crowd after being stabbed.
“His T-shirt was covered in blood and he was holding his neck, asking ‘help’”, said Ms Ledward.
“He was helped to the ground, and officers immediately began attempts at first aid. Harry very quickly lost consciousness.”.
The teenager was declared dead just a few minutes before midnight.
The court heard that prior to the stabbing Harry “bounced over” to a police officer to offer him a cigarette and ask if he was having a good night, and the teenager was described as “excitable”.
Harry, who grew up in Tottenham and was a pupil at St Thomas More Catholic School in Wood Green, had also stepped in as a peacemaker when one of his friends – who was drunk – got into an altercation with another person, it is said.
The suspected killer denies murder and possession of an offensive weapon.
He was allegedly seen holding a hunting knife as he left Primrose Hill, and it is believed the weapon, which has never been recovered, may have been thrown in a rubbish bin which was emptied before a police search.
A forensic examination of the knife scabbard led to a DNA match to the defendant, jurors heard.
Following a media appeal, the youth went to Hammersmith police station with his father on January 4.
He said in a statement: “The only reason I came to speak to the police on 4th January is because I saw my image being publicised on the Sun newspaper.”
He admitted being in the park but said he left when he was threatened, denying the stabbing, or having a weapon.
Ms Ledward told jurors there is now no dispute that the defendant stabbed Harry and the likely issues will be whether it was an accident and what he intended at the time.
She said: “The prosecution case is that (the defendant) deliberately plunged that knife into a very vulnerable part of Harry’s body – his neck.
“The use of a large-bladed knife in that way and the targeting of that part of Harry’s body was no accident.
“Whatever the rights or wrongs of the short few seconds of closed-fist punches being exchanged which preceded that stabbing, it was out of all proportion to any threat which Harry and his friends presented to (the defendant) and his friends).”
Mr Justice Cavanagh told jurors the trial would be sitting shorter than normal hours due to the age of the defendant, and “special arrangements” have been put in place for him including a ‘fidget box’ being allowed with him in the dock.
The trial continues.

China is the major challenge by R J Cook
This site was down for several days last week. I was denied access, so can only suppose that it was another occasion of police interference. I was put under 24/7surveillance on October 9th 2008. It took me until November 2009 to get any idea why. The U.K can teach the Russians a lot about how to run a police state. It came at a time of record international hits, though U.K viewers are normally met with a warning that this is an unsafe site.
The U.K Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, earned his knighted for heading a corrupt Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) that routinely lied and withheld key evidence from defendants to meet the Tony Blair targets for convictions, a policy extant today and for the foreseeable future in corrupt Police State Britain. As someone currently denied vital disclosures for my forthcoming trial, for writing material offensive to people who matter, disclosures that I have requested since 2008, I know the type of people I am dealing with. I was arrested for the alleged crimes over four years ago, and not for the first time since 2010.
Starmer has popped across to Germany again to see Olaf Scholtz. The whole point of the U.K ruling wealthy elite brainwashing their masses into supporting Brexit was so that they could protect their corrupt City of London financial centre from European regulation, aligning more openly with their giant equally classist and corrupt offspring the United States of America. This is a land created by British elites originating the genocide of the long forgotten native Mongoloid Red Indians. This Anglo American wealth and land grabbing elite are more than racist, they believe themselves exceptional and even racist against poor working whites whose despair and desperate behaviour earns them the patronising condescending labels of ‘far right’ or, as Hilary Clinton put it, ‘ the deplorables.’
Getting the U.K masses nationalist support and impeding the two way free migrant traffic with Eastern Europe, was essential. The Tory Govermnent’s dominant profiteering war mongering faction led them to believe they were getting their country back. British wealthy ruling elites with their predominantly upper middle class white liberals and feminists were keen to step up the flow of African and Islamic economic migrants and their families and stopping white East Europeans.
These ‘liberals’ live in a student inspired virtue signalling ‘rainbow world’ which they never grow out of. The only people not allowed to live in this rainbow world, are male to female transsexuals. This is because feminists and their politically correct male acolytes, like billionaire fantasy writer and ‘influencer’ J K Rowling, have dictated that these transsexuals have changed sex for camouflage when under cover in female toilets and other safe spaces so as to sexually assault and rape them. Britain’s elite have seized great advantage from dividing the masses along the lines of gender and race. Women and blacks are encouraged to join forces as victims of working class white men.
These people, through jobs in mainstream media, music and other arts have been influencing U.S culture, most notably youth culture and politics. for decades. So the BBC are hard at work denigrating Donald Trump. Today, I watched and listened to their self righteous U.S Editor Sarah Ferguson ostensibly offering context to the November Election. She was backed up by a younger version of her smug self, both women having all the politically correct well rehearsed questions and comments. Their studio guest was a former professional gambler called Nat. He has turned his statistical expertise into opinion poll predictions. As a Democrat he received easy questions because as the BBC news (views) announcers keep reminding us, they are ‘broadcasting across the world and across the U.K.’
Smug Sarah Smith, speaking in her upper class Scottish hoarse accent, expressed concern as to how the most famous ‘woman of colour’, the sainted, Kamala Harris would stand up to Donald Trump’s “bullying intimidating style.” Smith, like the rest of the BBC and mainstream media, are desperate that cocky Kamala is elected. Incredibly, this dreadful woman said Trump had no policies and Harris did.
I won’t say exactly what I think of the two women who came out of the woodwork with sexy stories reviving their lost glamour days. However, it is interesting that the gossip columnist E Jean Caroll, now 80, could not remember the exact date or even year of Trump apparently sexually assaulted her in a ladies changing room in Macy’s where she had gone to model lingerie for the recently divorced Donald Trump around 30 years ago.
The ever so innocent New York leggy blonde gossip columnist E Jean Carroll back in her heyday before she forgot a much younger Donald Trump molested her about 30 years ago. She told the New York court she could not remember the precise year, day or month. But she said it happened. The judge agreed and Trump was convicted in the first step to block Trump’s hopes of a return to the Presidency. Her court victory made her a multi millionaire. It’s great to be a girl in the post feminist and pre nuclear war age.
As for Stormy Daniels, why did she suddenly renege on a non disclosure agreement that Trump had paid for ? There has been a great deal of dirt digging and mud slinging to block Trump and jail him. He spent his entire term in office fighting impeachment proceedings. When all else has failed, it is back to the media and their feminist presenters and writers like smug Sarah Smith vilifying the former President as a racist. He was always cast as a Russian agent, with former MI6 Russia Desk Head Christopher Steel producing a file full of opinion and lies, inspiring a book and severeral documentaries.
So we come to the real reason former Democrat Donald Trump must be stopped and why U.K Prime Minister Starmer is in Germany. Trump wants to stop the war in Ukraine before it gets any worse and goes nuclear. Starmer wants Schulz to agree to deploying Russian missiles at the synbolic Kerch bridge as a prelude to taking over Crimea. The western global elite and their corrupt financial system have backed and risked everything for the profits to be made from victory in Ukraine, along the road to rape Russia with a divisive regime change and then on to change China to their liking. The U.K MI6 and U.S CIA chiefs told today’s world security conference, which excluded their regime change targets, that ‘China is the major challenge.’

So Funny as German Democracy Fights Back – R. J. Cook.
Comment Losing the seat and blocking majority because the election officer admits mistakes is very convenient and highly suspicious. This is Mein Kampf all over again. By the same argument Donald Trump will never win. Democratic elections are about voting for rival contractors offering the best deal for the same officially defined services. Working white people must ‘check their privilege’, accept the withering of their evil imperialist culture, racial guilt and never say a word against mass Islamic and Afrcan immigration because that is racist and you will be stopped. We have seen the same outcome with Macron and so called far right.

Under no circumstances vote for Donald Trump because Saint Kamala Harris says she ‘knows his type’. By R J Cook.
The Anglo Americans have a product which the whole world must accept or suffer dire consequences as the people of Latin America, among others, know well. That product is called ‘western style democracy.’ They have been flogging it as an antidote to communism ever since the Russian Revolution and end of World War One in 1918. Any nation’s leader who doesn’t buy it must suffer the consequences.
The Democrat Product is defined by an elite innate fear of communism. Many years ago the United States came up with the pseudo scientific ‘domino theory’ to add social and moral credibility to something that is no more than the ultimate in human greed and fear of an underclass uprising. Look at the elite reaction to the recent U.K Southport disturbances, where no one was killed, a few cops and their vehicles were assaulted, but the prison sentences averaged three years. The elite and their minions are afraid.
When the civilised world became the ruins of World War II, it was the embodiment landscape for the activation of western anti hero Karl Marx’s intellectual adage ‘“Destruam et ædificabo”
‘ – I will destroy and I will build.
So, like Germany and Japan during World War II, Russia must be destroyed as an entity, at all costs. The proud Russian bear has been prodded from many angles and there is more to come because the global super rich have too many investment funds at stake . Subversion of surrounding governments and provoking Scandinavian paranoia is well established and ongoing.
The Anglo Americans are the head of NATO. They know what they want. All they have to do is scare their masses, who they tell on the one hand that Russia cannot win, while on the other hand they are planing to invade Europe from east to west. All the masses need to know, from the elite point of view is that their ‘democratically elected leaders’ demand their support in a very costly war for freedom ( sic ) ! Whose freedom ? Anti war political parties, notably the Afd and National Rally have been dismissed and discredited by their pseudo democrat elites as ‘far right’ terrorists with every effort underway by the ‘great and good’ to change the law and ban them from public office. It is all so reminiscent of the build up to World War II. Germany’s consensus elite are out to ban the Afd on the grounds that it is threatening Germany’s democracy. It is the same story in France with war mongering Macron whose elite have done the best to corrupt early elections which were supposed to give him the green light for more war on Russia.
When asked about her policies, this Wonder Woman of colour, Kamala Harris, needed no answers. All she had to do was, using her smile like she is an old friend , hunching her shoulders and leaning into the camera, then assert the following :
a) We will not abandon Ukraine and its war for freedom.
b) As a prosecutor, she knows Donald Trump’s type, he is a sex pest, a coward, a liar, a Russian agent and a racist, while as a woman of colour, she just has to say : “I am perfection and honesty on legs. So, under no circumstances vote for Trump.”
c) My values haven’t changed. It is as simple as that.
Harris and her sanctimonious democratic values will certainly never change. They are all about wealth and world domination. For them it is ‘to hell with the white working class Americans, whose only use is for cannon fodder. Do not forget it was the ‘Democrats’ who took the U.S into the Vietnam War with the frightened Australians tagging along.
U.S voters need to ignore mainstream media, especially sycophantic 24/7 BBC coverage of the U.S air waves. They and the BBC Femocrats have a vested interest in President Kamala Harris, which is why they eagerly devoured all of the court cases to criminalise Donald Trump on very spurious grounds so as to disqualify him from election. Dark forces also turned a blind eye to a deluded young shooter laid flat on a roof in the sight line of a Donald Trump giving a speech, resulting in the death of an innocent fire chief and wounding the former President Trump. Harris supporters have even suggested that Mr Trump arranged it all as a publicity stunt. That is how desperate mainstream media are to get another arrogant conceited puppet into The White House. Wise free thinking voters should see this for what it is and vote for Donald Trump if they want to save their nation from further fragmentation, decline, global war and racial conflict – which Democrats need the latter to feed off.
Post Script
The Latin expression “Destruam et ædificabo” is a biblical quotation that Pierre-Joseph Proudhon put on the cover of his fundamental work, The System of Economic Contradictions, or The Philosophy of Poverty (1846), and it reflects very well the dual approach that anarchism has given to the struggle against domination and oppression. On the one hand, the clear understanding that key aspects of the dominant system cannot be recovered, but rather have to be radically confronted. It is the radicalism that is also shown in successive confrontational tactics at different times in anarchism’s history, in which destruam has been used in a literal sense, with a propaganda of the deed that smelled more of gunpowder and death than of the construction of a new world.

German far right heading for election win in east – projections
Jessica Parker
Germany correspondent
Reporting from
Erfurt
Paul Kirby
Europe digital editor
Reporting from
London
Germany’s anti-immigration party Alternative for Germany (AfD) is on course for victory in the eastern state of Thuringia, according to projections.
The AfD is set to win 32.8% of the vote, says a projection for public broadcaster ARD, nine points ahead of the conservative CDU, and far in front of Germany’s three governing parties.
If confirmed, it would give the far right its first vote win in a state parliament since World War Two, although it has little hope of forming a government in Thuringia.
Some five million Germans were eligible to vote in two state elections in the east on Sunday. The AfD is also close behind the CDU in the election for a state parliament in Saxony.
In Saxony, an ARD projection gave the CDU 31.8% and the AfD 30.7%, again far ahead of the three parties running the national government – the SPD, the Green Party and the FDP.
The AfD’s top candidate in Thuringia, Björn Höcke, who is a highly controversial figure in Germany, hailed a “historic victory”.
His party has been designated as right-wing extremist and he has been fined for using a Nazi slogan, although the former history teacher denies knowingly doing so.

- Published1 day ago
With federal elections only a year away, the AfD is second in national opinion polls and co-leader Alice Weidel said it was clear that voters in both eastern states wanted her party in government: “Without us a stable government is no longer possible at all.”
https://flo.uri.sh/visualisation/19234710/embed?auto=1
“Politicians have promised a lot, particularly concerning migration and foreigners,” AfD voter Michael told the BBC in Thuringia’s state capital Erfurt.
“But nothing happened. Nothing. Just promises came from these parties. Now I have my party. And I stand with my decision,” he said, standing beside his partner Manuela, who agreed that people wanted change.

Manuela
AfD voter in Erfurt
Immigration played a big part in Sunday’s election, but the AfD also wants to stop weapons supplies to Ukraine, as does a new party heading for third place in both states, left-wing populist leader Sahra Wagenknecht BSW party.
Although she has similar ideas to the AfD on Ukraine, Ms Wagenknecht has refused to take part in any coalition with the party, which gives the far right little chance of running Thuringia.
If the projections are confirmed, the AfD is on course to win 31 seats in the 88-seat Thuringia state parliament, and the CDU 23 seats, with only one of the three parties in the national government represented.
That would give the far-right party more than a third of the seats, handing it a blocking minority on decisions that require a two-thirds majority, including changes to the state constitution.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democratic Party (SPD) is set to win just six seats, with none for the Greens and liberal FDP.
Sunday’s elections have underlined the unpopularity of Germany’s ruling “traffic-light” coalition, so named because of the red, yellow and green of the party colours.
A third eastern state, Brandenburg, is due to vote in three weeks’ time and although the AfD is ahead in the opinion polls, the Social Democrats and conservatives are only a few points behind.
While Björn Höcke hailed his party’s victory with supporters in Erfurt, anti-AfD protesters gathered outside the Thuringia state parliament.
Among them was Hannah, a local student, who said she was very worried by the result: “I think there a lot of people who are aware they have Nazi policies and don’t care. Germany has some kind of responsibility on that matter.”
The rise of Sahra Wagenknecht’s populist party had a direct impact on the Left party, which won the last election in Thuringia but has now slipped into fourth place.
Bodo Ramelow. the Left-party state premier of Thuringia, said the election campaign had been characterised by fear and that he was “fighting against the normalisation of fascism.”

Ahead of Sunday’s vote, Jewish regional associations in Thuringia and Saxony appealed to voters not to back the AfD.
They said it was not a normal party but a serious threat to Germany’s democracy, with almost classic extreme right-wing policies.

Comment Democracy is an elite liberal cliche to denigrate any alternative to the smug fake liberal virtue signalling consensus. A lot of people have had enough of EU, UK and U.S Police state tyranny. They love in the real world. This is the 1930s imperialistic mindset all over again. Western style democracy allows no voice for the truly oppressed, only for its chosen women and non white ethnic groups. Whites are cautioned to check their privilege before speaking about anything.

The battle for Pokrovsk – why Russia wants to capture this key Ukrainian city
Russian forces have been inching closer to the city of Pokrovsk, in eastern Ukraine, where fighting is described as “exceptionally tough”.
Kremlin forces continue to advance on the strategic Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk, where fighting has been described as “exceptionally tough”.
Russia has been pressing hard in that section of the eastern frontline and has made slow but steady progress.
Ukraine’s top commander recently spent several days in the sector, where President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the situation was “extremely difficult”.
Some residents have evacuated the city in fear that it will fall to the Russians.
How big is Pokrovsk?
A road and rail hub, Pokrovsk had a pre-war population of around 60,000 people – tens of thousands of whom remain in the city.
Since 2014, when Ukraine lost control of the regional capital – the city of Donetsk – Pokrovsk has hosted an important technical university, the largest and oldest in the wider region.
A coal mine that is Ukraine’s largest producer of coking coal, which is used in its steel industry and was vital for its pre-war economy, is only a 20-minute drive to the west.
Why does Russia want Pokrovsk?
Control of the city, which the Russian media call “the gateway to Donetsk”, would allow Moscow to severely disrupt Ukrainian supply lines along the eastern front.
Its capture would also boost Russia’s campaign to capture the city of Chasiv Yar, which sits on higher ground offering potential control of a wider area.

We know Better Now by R J Cook
Britain left its’ empire because the United States insisted. That situation was resolved by placing Africa’s newly ‘liberated nations’ ( sic ) under black pleasure bent ruthless tyrant placemen guaranteeing easy cheap access to the continent’s wealth of vital resources. These placemen were the same black tyrants who sold off their black underclass and rivals to the slave trade. Africa was doomed for the common black man whose descendants are taught to blame all white people for their misery.
Over time, Africa’s surplus population has built into a flood of black men looking for what many of them call ‘ a better life.’ No European nation has extended a warmer welcome to migrants than the not so United Kingdom ( U.K ). The rich adore the cheap profitable labour and the chattering classes just love virtue signalling.
Prime Minister Starmer has a rasping voice. He oozes with confidence after he got a landslide victory with 30% of the 52% of voters who bothered to vote. He has made house building for a mainly immigrant population explosion a priority. So private enterprise profiteering water companies have said this will mean higher bills to pay for the new infrastructure. This is Third World U.K, with all its religious tribal warfare, poverty and health care demands overwhelming the U.K National Health Service ( NHS ). Now we have Monkey Pox imported from Africa and another lockdown in prospect.
U. K’s lower classes suffer the bulk of the tax burden for processing, health care and policing these migrants. They come with very complex cultural differences to what we used to call the indigenous population. The authorities, even more vigilant and empowered under the new Starmer Labour Government regime, where there are to be tougher measures to protect non white ethnics and women. So now we have more policing in the school classroom. There are to be stronger measures for teachers to fight apparently rampant racism. Teachers will be trained to fight the cultural centrality of whiteness.
In plain English, white children, especially the more forceful white boys, will be taught to feel guilty and apologetic about their skin colour. Such white boys have already been told that they need lessons in respecting females as they will soon enter a Labour run society where it will be a crime not to like them. The females and males of colour will be united in their victimhood and over 33% of little white boys will be growing up without fathers or other close male role models. Is it surprisng that so many of them will be queing up to be turned into virtuous little girls. But Rowling and Hilary Cass are real biological women leading a campaign to discredit and outlaw the procedures.
There are a plethora of feminist articles all about reforming what they call toxic white masculinity. Here young upper middle class feminists, with harridan mentors, inform their select readership of angry women, that they know all about men. Look at the U.S President Kamala Harris in waiting smirking that she knows Donald Trump’s type, having met them in droves as a prosecutor. Modern psychiatry uses a text book called ‘Diagnosis, Statistics and Medication’ (DSM). Its’ purpose is to suit the mass production treatment of the increasing number of mentally ill young people and demented geriatrics, many of the latter being my generation of university students who thought LSD trips and smoking marijuana, was cool. Most professional state psychiatrists could not get off their employer’s DSM treadmill if they even if they tried. Many years ago, I asked the psychiatric nurse that I was dating ; “Do people in your job ever go mad ?” She replied, laughing; “All the time”.
The one obvious thing about using the tick box DSM system, is that there is no State interest in the reasons why so many people are going insane and why so many, mainly boys, seek sex change. Feminists, and their acolytes, are arrogant State sponsored ‘know alls” I have heard and read so many of them claiming to know all about men and boys and how they need to change. In this context it is hysterically funny to learn what Rampant Rowling has had to say about transsexual females choosing that option to get into women’s safe spaces so as to rape them.
There is also the irony of claiming men do this to get into female prisons because they are a safer softer regime. If equality really mattered to these women, then they should be outraged that all male prisoners don’t have a softer safe sentence than the brutality of what is on offer presently. As someone that police have been trying to jail for the last nearly 17 years, for matters that I am not supposed to publish – apparently, according to corrupt U.K Police – I am particularly sensitive. This is an important point given so many miscarriages of justice, like Andrew Malkinson. Under the rule of current Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, Andrew did 17 years for a rape he did not commit. There was forensic evidence to prove he could not have done it, so Stanmer’s corrupt CPS, working with equally corrupt police, simply hid the evidence of his innocence. As with the current Lucy Letby case, Andrew Malkinson was repeatedly denied his right of appeal because the outcome would have undermined the integrity of the system. That is life in elite run fake democratic United Kingdom.
Today’s meeting between Starmer and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is par for the not so democratic cause of window dressing and smoke screens. However, there will have been serious U.K efforts to use German Taurus missiles to destroy the Kerch Bridge. It has been a U.K obsession since before the Nato Ukraine proxy war when Boris Johnson sent a Royal Navy gunboat to provoke Russia. The UK elite are pushing for measures to cut off the strategically vital Crimean Peninsula so that they can storm it. This will be a follow up to Kursk and then invasions from all feasible locations. The U.K and U.S are working overtime with the intelligence.
Meanwhile, the Russian economy is experiencing strong growth and full employment. Vladimir Putin and his people should be studying U.K and Europe very closely and its Africanisation. They should be asking whether they want that and to become part of what used to be called the Third World. This is an outdated term because the west is now three worlds. There are the super rich important rule making super rich. Then there are politically correct chattering virtue signalling upper middle and professional classes. At the very bottom are the masses where the former white working class have to assimilate into the interesting world of multi cultural diversity imposed on them by the elite decision makers, who make up the 90% of the population living on 10% of the land.
In my days doing stand up comedy, mixed with my satirical and old folk songs, I used to ask my audiences : “What do politicians do when they are dead ?” The answer is that : “They lie still.” These expensive Euro jaunts are quite nauseating given that these posturing posers bring us every day closer to World War III and nuclear holocaust. Never mind, the European Commission led by the delectable Ursula von der Leyen, knows what matters. So yesterday they pledged a billion euros to the European Solidarity Fund and have pledged to get the commission gender balanced.
Britain’s elite knew exactly why they wanted Brexit. It was to keep us lowly masses out of Europe while they gave the EU orders about what matters to them. If you cut through all the U.K hi tech achievements, like those of the recently demised Mike Lynch, who had just escaped from his Hewlett Packard fraud trial, you are left with something very seedy. So when Starmer was confronted with evidence of current Labour sleaze and cronyism, this paragon of prosecuting others, declaimed that he was not going to answer questions coming from the rival Tories because they were so much worse. I can’t imagine this distinguished and knighted barrister ever accepting such an argument from crooks in court.
The current water supply crisis says so much about the achievements of past U.K Prime Ministers, Thatcher and Major in particular. Privatising British Rail was a John Major disaster, but as their last Chairman Sir Bob Reid told me during a magazine interview : “Major had to prove he could be better than Thatcher. He had to privatise something. Only the railways were left when he became Prime Minister. My board told him that it would not work.”
Thatcher’s privatised water utilities have turned into a health nightmare. They are now in the hands of global capitalist investors who demand high returns while Sewage flows freely into the famous River Thames, among so many other places. Water company fat cats claim high salaries and big bonuses as of right. These people insist on massive price rises, like Thames Waters latest claim to charge customers another 59% otherwise they will not be able to attract international investors to renew and improve infrastructure for a rapidly growing ethnic driven population. They threaten that if they don’t get that investment the system will get even worse.
Meanwhile there is a war in Ukraine to pay for, as well as massive public sector pay rises because the unions have been holding the nation to ransom. So, Starmer & Co warn of big tax rises. The threshold for inheritance tax, in a nation of property inflation, will be lowered and rates raised. Pension contributions are expected to be taxed as well as facing more tax when they pay out. Winter fuel allowance for is old folk has been cut and other benefits are at risk because the debts and Ukraine War costs are escalating. This will raise the cost of living, with profits priority in the global investors economy.
By the time I had finished writing this comment piece today at noon, over 200 more illegal migrants had been picked up by the U.K Border Force ( Farce ) in the English Channel and delivered safely to the U.K shore. But like the knife attacks, murder and riotous behaviour at the Afro Caribbean Nottinghill Carnival, we must not speak about that because it harms race relations. Nor must we criticise women. There will soon be a law to put such behaviour on a par with terrorism. Meanwhile, women have the right to redefine white masculinity. While they insist that men will never understand the hardships of being female, insisting that all cis women are the same and as immaculate as Mother Mary, they claim a God given right to define what men must be. Well, as the philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, ‘Men are what their mothers make them.”
Famous feminists take the view that having male children makes them experts on men. That is rather like me saying and believing that if I kept pet Lions, then I would be an expert on Lions. Such white women of the west create rapists and all the other monsters. The issue of why black men rape white women is more complex and probably illegal to discuss. Check out Eldridge Cleaver on the subject. He, as a black man convicted of rape and other crimes, described raping the white man’s woman as “mixing business with pleasure.” White liberal do gooders don’t like other whites knowing that. I discovered Eldridge Cleaver, and so much other black literature, through my long time Afro Caribbean friend, former colleague and former Southampton Magistrate Vernon F Church. We met during our Portsmouth years in 1975. We were young and naïve and thought we might help save the world through politics, reason, education and writing. We know better now.

The Following is from Archie Bland’s column in the ‘Liberal Left’ U.K Guardian Newspaper.
Almost two months after a parliamentary election that left no one bloc with a majority, France is still without a prime minister. Yesterday, Emmanuel Macron, the president, started a new round of consultations on who he will appoint – after rejecting the left’s candidate Lucie Castets, whose politics are significantly out of line with the more centrist-leaning coalition that he would like to see take charge.
But the leftwing parties that form the largest bloc, the New Popular Front (NFP), are refusing to participate. The Greens’ leader, Marine Tondelier, said yesterday that the NFP would reject any government that is not on the left. “How is it possible that we have reached such denial of democracy?” she asked. “We are in the process of having this election stolen from us.”
France is not used to such political paralysis – and it is far from clear what the way out will be. For today’s newsletter, I spoke to Kim Willsher, who reports for the Guardian from Paris, about a chaotic situation entirely of Macron’s own making – and what it would take to break the impasse.

Ukraine to present ‘victory plan’ to US – Zelensky
Laura Gozzi
BBC News
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said his troops’ incursion into Russia’s Kursk region is part of a “victory plan” that he will present to US President Joe Biden next month.
Speaking at a forum on Tuesday, President Zelensky said the success of the plan would depend on President Biden and on whether the US would give Ukraine “what is in this plan or not, [and] whether we will be free to use this plan, or not”.
“It may sound too ambitious for some, but it is an important plan for us,” he added, saying that he would also show the plan to both US presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
A number of Ukrainian troops made an incursion into Russia’s Kursk region in early August, and Russia has so far seemingly been unable to repel them.
Speaking at the same forum, Ukraine’s Kyiv’s top military commander, Gen Oleksandr Syrskyi, said Ukraine now controls 1,294 sq km (500 sq miles) of Russian territory and 100 settlements – although these figures have not been verified by the BBC.
Gen Syrskyi said Ukraine had no intention of holding on to the territory and that one motivation for the incursion was to distract Russia’s forces away from their own offensive in eastern Ukraine. Russia is seeking to capture the town of Pokrovsk, which is an important hub and home to a key railway station.
President Zelensky also revealed that Ukraine had recently carried out the first successful test of a domestically-produced ballistic missile. He congratulated his country’s defence industry, but declined to share any more details of the missile.
Although Ukraine has already used some ballistic missiles against Russia that were provided by the US, it has been working to develop the domestic production of military hardware to diminish its dependency on Western aid.
However, for now, Ukraine mostly relies on military supplies from abroad to fight Russia and repel its attacks. At the forum, President Zelensky said that Ukraine had used some newly arrived F-16 fighter jets sent by Western countries in order to intercept some of the missiles fired by Russia in recent days – but that the country would need more jets.
For the past two nights, Russia has pummelled Ukraine with a barrage of drone and missile attacks which have left several people dead and caused blackouts in various areas of the country.
Such attacks show that Moscow has no intention to stop the war, President Zelensky said: “When they want [peace talks], they don’t launch 230 air strikes.”
Since the Kursk incursion, however, Russia has signalled it will not engage in any peace talks with Ukraine.
“The topic of negotiations at the moment has pretty much lost its relevance,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.

Democrats pick Labour brains on how to counter attacks over immigration and use Harris‘ past as a prosecutor.
From immigration to housing and confronting the left, new U.K. PM Keir Starmer appears to offer a playbook for victory to the Democrats in …
New World Order, will still call their territories; Democracies
By R. J Cook.
Comment Britain’s Labour Government is already mired in sleaze and corruption. UK Prime Minister Starmer’s nation has record crime and homelessness dating back to his New Labour posh predecessor Blair whose government said there was no obvious limit to mass immigration.
This new elite interface, Starmer, for fake democracy, has already announced that life in the U.K will get worse. Starmer has cut vital benefits to pensioners who wiill now die even sooner, because Labour do not need their votes. Prime Minister Starmer, former head of the still corrupt Crown Prosecution Service, has said that life for the masses will get worse and progress will take 10 years before getting anywhere. His support for another State Prosecutor, Kamala Harris, is not a good sign for poor Americans of any race. The only consolation is that she might well provoke nuclear war and so put an end to all of our worries.
Promising more police to fight inevitable rising crime and social unrest, Starmer is leading his government toward more Draconian laws on protests, severe punishments and parenting orders to enhance the policing powers of teachers – which were bad enough during my 18 years in the so called teaching profession and four years as a school governor.
Starmer’s poltically correct feminist virtue signalling government is not standing for the kind of freedom and democracy the United States common folk needs. But, the U.S elite do need, like their U.K counterparts, the NATO Ukraine planet eating proxy war on Russia. So they need the new ‘Bomber Harris’ and her Democrats.
U.K former Defence Secretary Major Ben Wallace wrote an opinion piece for the U.K Daily Telggraph today. The mad Major said that if the U.K did not do more to help Ukraine defeat Russia: ‘Putin would turn his weapons on the U.K’. If I were Pressident Putin listening to language like that, then U.K would already be on my target ‘to do list’ as top priority. Russia has already hit an F16 weapons depot today.
The Ukraine War has killed and crippled lots of little people who can be replaced by migrants. The Anglo U.S EU weapons industry is booming and nothing except Russian nukes will stop their regime change march on Russia, raping it for resources and then on to China for control and rape of the entire world – control of Crimea and Black Sea extending hegemony through easier access to the Middle East. The resultant Anglo U.S hegemony, backed by EU fat cats, in this New World Order, will still call their territories; Democracies.

Harris a Slave Owner’s Descendant
Presumptive Democratic nominee and US vice-president Kamala Harris has Irish roots but not in a way that she is likely to embrace.
Ms Harris is the daughter of Donald J Harris, who was born in Jamaica, and Shyamala Gopalan Harris from India.
Genealogical research carried out by Northern Irish historian Stephen McCracken reveals Ms Harris’s four-times-paternal-great-grandfather Hamilton Brown was born in Co Antrim in 1776, the year of the US Declaration of Independence.
Brown emigrated to Jamaica, then a British colony, and became an enthusiastic slave owner on the sugar plantations that were the mainstay of the island’s economy. He opposed the abolition of slavery across the British Empire in 1832 and went to Antrim to replace his slaves with workers from his native county.

at the convention in Chicago
Vice-President Kamala Harris pledged a “new way forward” for all Americans as she formally accepted the Democratic nomination for president on Thursday night, delivering a message of unity and urging voters to reject Donald Trump.
November’s election is a chance to “move past the bitterness, cynicism and divisive battles of the past”, she said, bringing her party’s convention in Chicago to a close as balloons rained down and supporters cheered.
Ms Harris’s speech capped off a four-day spectacle designed to highlight her backstory and shape the contours of what remains a vague policy agenda.
She made history as the first black and Asian-American woman to lead a major party’s presidential ticket.
The 59-year-old officially became the Democratic nominee after a fast-moving few weeks that began with President Joe Biden stepping aside in the White House race.
Polls suggest she is now in a tight race with Trump, who offered criticism of Ms Harris’s appearance as it unfolded.
Ms Harris used her nearly-45-minute address, the most important speech of her political career, to reintroduce herself to the nation.
She shared personal anecdotes about growing up in a “beautiful working-class neighbourhood” as the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants.
And she argued that her background as a prosecutor – a detail she avoided emphasising during her 2020 run – made her uniquely qualified to defeat Trump and serve in the Oval Office, as did her record as vice-president under Mr Biden.
| Headed for a Verdict |
| Kamala Harris formally accepted the Democratic nomination for president with a speech delivered in the guise of her old job, a prosecutor with a multi-count indictment against her November opponent, Donald Trump. In the decade since Trump landed on the political scene, Democrats have struggled to find a way to effectively confront and condemn him in the eyes of American voters. Hillary Clinton tried belittling him as morally unfit to lead. Joe Biden made gauzy paeans about preserving the character of American democracy.Harris took a different tack, using her time before a national audience to arraign the former president on a laundry list of offenses. Some involved actual legal cases, such as his New York felony convictions, a civil judgment that found him guilty of sexual abuse, and his efforts — still to be litigated — to try to overturn his 2020 election loss to Biden. |

Arrogant feminist bigotry by R J Cook
The arrogant feminist bigotry of U.S President in waiting Kamala Harris was palpable when she bragged about being a State Prosecutor who had met Trump’s type before. She was smirking, cat like eyes surveying her approving equally prejudiced self satisfied audience. At the same time she has called Trump a coward because he does not want World War Three with Russia.
Being what Harris and her propaganda machine – including Anglo U.S Corporate and State Media – calls a ‘woman of colour’ is her winning hand. In the unlikely event of her losing in November, that media propaganda machine would rage across the air waves and newsprint, that there had been massive electoral fraud. This was what Saint Hilary Clinton did in 2016, as a prelude to Pelosoi’s Democrats spending Trump’s entire term digging for dirt to get him impeached.
It is vital for elite’s to divide their masses and create smokescreens covering obscuring real social-and economic issues by making Trump the Devil incarnate and his white supporters denigrated as satanists. After all, there is a war against Russia to be fought, with billions to be made. White working class men will kill, be killed, blinded or be maimed. It is all in a good cause for those multi ethnic billionaires in a world of super yachts, mansions, minions and sharp practice. Meanwhile no one mentions the impeachment of Saint Hilary’s sex pest husband Saint Bill Clinton. These people don’t want us to remember Monica Lewinsky and her ‘me too’ supporters.

WHO: Mpox Lockdowns Not Likely
An official with the World Health Organization (WHO) said that mpox is not the same as COVID-19 and signaled there will not be lockdowns or similar measures, in comments about a week after the U.N. health agency declared an emergency over the virus.
“Two years ago, we controlled mpox in Europe thanks to the direct engagement with the most affected communities of men who have sex with men,” Han Kluge, WHO regional director for Europe, said on Tuesday.
Mpox, a viral infection known as monkeypox, causes pus-filled lesions and flu-like symptoms. It is usually mild but can kill. Officials say that an mpox strain called Clade Ib has caused global concern because it seems to spread more easily through routine close contact. A case of the variant was confirmed last week in Sweden and linked to a growing outbreak in Africa, the first sign of its spread outside the continent. Read the full story here›

This goes on while their black pleasure bent proxy dictators are partners in crime plundering reources for western corporate profit. That is why these elites and the white liberal do gooders label any sensible concerns about Third World overpopulation and mass migration as solution, RACIST and FAR RIGHT..

Three things the Democrats have avoided so far at the DNC
North America correspondent, reporting from Chicago
- Published21 August 2024, 19:16 BST
Updated 2 hours ago
Modern political conventions tend to be slickly produced, carefully stage-managed events. And despite its struggles with staying on schedule and the unusual way its presidential nominee was chosen, this year’s Democratic gathering in Chicago has been no different.
The Democrats on the convention stage have tried to put their best foot forward by talking about Kamala Harris’s qualifications and character, her plan for the economy and issues on which the party has broad public support, like abortion rights and healthcare.
But what they don’t talk about – the issues and areas they have largely tried to avoid, at least so far – says as much about their electoral strategies and weakness as what they choose to highlight. Here are three notable omissions halfway through the party extravaganza.
Identity politics
Four years ago, amidst the mass protests over the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers, the Democratic Party – and the nation as a whole – engaged in a sometimes animated debate about institutional racism and how American history is presented.
While many mainstream Democrats avoided the aggressive calls to “defund the police”, most engaged in the discussion of how America could take steps to address what they viewed as the corrosive legacy of slavery in the nation’s businesses, classrooms and government, including by promoting DEI – diversity, equity and inclusion.

- What young Democrats want Harris to do if she wins
More recently, the issue of transgender rights has been an animating force among segments of the Democratic coalition – particularly in the face of Republican efforts to limit or prohibit the ability of children to receive gender care.
Neither topic has received much attention in the Democratic convention arena so far. There was an emotional tribute to the civil rights movement early on Monday that culminated in a wheelchair-bound Jesse Jackson – who marched with Martin Luther King Jr and ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in the 1980s – taking the stage. But DEI and other remedies have received short shrift.
“DEI has become a dog-whistle code” used to undermine minorities in powerful positions, said Shavon Arline-Bradley, the president of the National Council of Negro Women, which is organising voter outreach efforts in presidential battleground states.
“Our country was founded on opportunities for all men and all women, but we’re not hearing that now, because a lot of people don’t want to alienate a certain base of folk that are afraid of this.”
At this convention, alienating the fewest number of potential voters has been the name of the game.
And while abortion rights have been a daily focus at the convention, transgender issues – the other hot-button social topic currently – have been largely ignored in the programming that makes national television.
Ms Arline-Bradley warns that by not talking about questions of equity and inclusion, the problems will linger.
“We should talk about them, because this party is the most inclusive and diverse party,” she said. “Show it, activate it and live by those values.”
Internal strife
The last Democratic convention in 2020 was largely virtual – conducted in empty halls and television studios – due to the Covid pandemic. In 2016, when thousands of Democrats gathered in Philadelphia, the rifts within the party were on full display.
Supporters of Democratic socialist Bernie Sanders, who finished second behind Hillary Clinton for that year’s nomination, repeatedly disrupted the proceedings and organised protests around the convention hall.
The party was divided on topics like universal healthcare, free college tuition and, more broadly, whether Democrats should rely on support from deep-pocketed donors, big business and what Mr Sanders labelled the “corporate oligarchy”.
Those divisions still exist. Mr Sanders gave a speech Tuesday night railing against the corrupting influence of money in politics. But his speech was immediately followed by Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who bragged about being a billionaire, and venture capitalist and former American Express chief executive Ken Chenault. The big tent, at least for now, covered obvious differences of policy and opinion.

Ukraine’s surprise advance into Russia a dilemma for Biden
Tom Bateman
State Department correspondent
- Published15 August 2024
Washington is absorbing the impact of Ukraine’s lightning assault into Russia’s Kursk region as the scale of President Zelensky’s bold gamble emerges.
US officials are assessing how the incursion might reshape the political and military dynamics of the war, as well as the implications for Washington’s long-shifting stance on how Ukraine can use American-supplied arms.
The stunning raid, catching both Russian and apparently Western leaders by surprise, highlights one of the riskiest dilemmas for the Western-backed defence of Ukraine: President Biden has consistently tried to empower Kyiv to push back Russia’s invasion without risking an American escalation with Moscow.
As President Putin has always tried to portray the conflict as a war between Russia and the West, Mr Biden has sought to put clear limits on US policy to deflate that narrative and prevent a conflagration.
But Ukraine’s Kursk assault – the largest incursion into Russia by a foreign military since World War Two, according to military analysts – has raised a series of urgent questions for the White House.
Does it rapidly expand the boundaries of Washington’s set limits for how Ukraine can use American and Nato weapons systems?
Does it risk crossing Russia’s red lines over Western involvement in the war? If not, has President Zelensky showed Washington he can call Mr Putin’s bluff?
Despite the risks and the uncertainty, there is a sense of surprised admiration among some in Washington at Mr Zelensky’s move. Piecing together comments from US officials over the last week reveals something of the emerging position.
The administration insists Ukraine gave it no advance warning of the assault. White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre has said Washington had “nothing to do” with it.
As for the use of US weapons, the White House, Pentagon and State Department won’t officially confirm whether they are being used, but it seems overwhelmingly clear that they are, given Ukraine’s reliance on US and Nato weapons systems.
Vladislav Seleznyov, a former spokesman for the Ukrainian armed forces’ general staff, told Voice of America that US-provided HIMAR rocket launchers had been critical to the advance.
US approval for the use of its weapons by Ukraine in the Kursk incursion is certainly being implicitly given. Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder said this week: “We assess that they’re within the policy boundaries that we’ve set. Those policies haven’t changed as it relates to in particular to use of US weapons.”
Officials say the assault is “consistent” with their policy “from the very beginning” for Ukraine to be able to defend itself against attacks coming across the border.
But Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh added: “Again, we don’t support long range attacks into Russia. These are more for crossfire. I’m not going to put a specific range on it.”
Ukraine says it has destroyed second Russian bridge

Watch: Moment Ukraine appears to strike another Russian bridge

Ukraine says it has destroyed a second strategic bridge in a week as it continues its incursion into Russia’s Kursk region.
The Ukrainian military on Sunday released aerial footage of the strike on the bridge – reported to be over the Seym River in Zvannoe.
Hours later, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said for the first time that the aims of the military incursion into Kursk included the creation of a “buffer zone” to stop Russian attacks.
Ukraine is nearly two weeks into its biggest attack on Russian territory since Moscow launched its invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
“Minus one more bridge,” Ukrainian Air Force commander Lt Gen Mykola Oleschuk posted on social media with footage of the strike.
Gen Oleschuk added: “Ukrainian Air Force aviation continues to deprive the enemy of logistical capabilities with precision airstrikes, which significantly affects the course of hostilities.”
The video shows a growing large cloud of smoke over the bridge and one of its sections appears to be destroyed. It is not clear when the strike took place.
Earlier this week, Ukraine destroyed another bridge over the river Seym, near the town of Glushkovo.
That bridge was used by the Kremlin to supply its troops.
Earlier, military analysts had identified three bridges in the area used by Russia to supply its forces, and they said two had either been destroyed or seriously damaged, Reuters news agency reported.
Almost two weeks after Ukrainian troops pushed across the border into Russia, it is becoming clear that they plan to stay.
President Zelensky said on Saturday his troops were strengthening positions in Kursk and expanding further in Russia.
On Sunday in an evening address, he said: “Our operation in the Kursk region is still inflicting losses on the Russian army and the Russian state, their defence industry and their economy.”
He stated that “this is more than just defence for Ukraine” and said that the aim was to “destroy as much Russian war potential as possible and conduct maximum counteroffensive actions”.
This would include “creating a buffer zone on the aggressor’s territory”, he added, in an effort to prevent further Russian attacks into Ukraine.
Mykhaylo Podolyak, an adviser to President Zelensky, insisted Ukraine was not interested in occupying Russia but wanted to persuade Russia to enter negotiations.
Moscow has called the incursion a major provocation and vowed to retaliate with a “worthy response”.
As Ukraine moves further into western Russian territory, Russian forces are equally making gains in Ukraine’s east and have claimed a string of villages in recent weeks.
It comes as the head of the UN’s nuclear watchdog warned the nuclear safety situation at the Zaporizhzhia power plant in Russian-occupied Ukraine was deteriorating, following a drone strike near the site’s perimeter.
Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said he remained “extremely concerned” and called for “maximum restraint from all sides” to protect the plant.

How Climate Disasters Are Making Food Expensive Everywhere

In today’s climate-changing world, climate events thousands of miles away drive the cost of everything around us—from a flight ticket to a new piece of clothing to the market price of a meal at your favorite restaurant.
Take olive oil and chocolate as examples. Severe droughts in the Mediterranean have slashed Spain’s olive harvest by 40%, driving up prices by 27% in June compared to last year for American consumers. Similarly, the price of some chocolates, such as Cadbury’s Freddo, are already higher by 200% this year in Australia with similar price rise expected in the U.S markets, driven mostly by the extreme weather impacting small-holder cocoa farmers in Ghana and Ivory Coast.
Such climate disasters in wheat producing countries such as Argentina also impact essential food products such as breakfast cereal, pasta, and bread. The price of wheat—and wheat-based food products—has experienced some of its greatest volatility in years since 2021. Why? Wheat production in Argentina was hit by drought in 2021and then in 2023, panicking global wheat supply chains already stressed by the Russia-Ukraine crisis. Food companies reacted to this volatility by preemptively increasing consumer prices.
Wheat price spikes might mean an extra dollar for pasta for me as an Indian American now living in California, but for my cousins back in India, food inflation means cuts elsewhere, like education budgets. Growing up in countryside India in a joint family of 14, we often faced these challenges. When food prices increased, my three siblings and I had to switch to buying second-hand textbooks at the start of the new school year. A similar pattern has been observed in low-income American households, too, who switch to canned fruits and vegetables from fresh ones in response to rising food prices.
Our planet is locked into several decades of climate change, regardless of our current mitigation actions. As an entrepreneur working to make food and agriculture supply chains more climate-resilient, I know we need to fundamentally rethink our approach to supply chains to ensure affordable, available food for all.
Read More: How to Feed the World Sustainably
Food supply chains are among the most critical in the world, and they face some of the biggest climate change-related threats, such as extreme weather, rising temperatures, and water scarcity impacting crop yield and quality—all of which affect food security. But while climate change contributes significantly to this problem, other events such as wars compound it. Consequently, many governments enter “panic mode” and enact protectionist measures to protect their interests. However, this often has domino effects that add to the exact problem they intend to avoid—price surges across food supply chains disproportionately impacting lower and middle-income consumers, including farmers who are net consumers themselves. Meaning, many farmers spend more money on food for their families than they make by farming crops.
In theory, policies such as nearshoring (relocating supply chains to neighboring countries such as Mexico), friendshoring (relocating supply chains to ally nations such as India) and “America First” are helpful for semiconductor supply chains. But they can’t work in food supply chains. Sriracha peppers can’t grow in Minneapolis, and avocados can’t grow in Canada. Even if countries succeed in diversifying their food supply chains with friendly nations, it doesn’t necessarily mean that supply chains on both sides won’t be impacted simultaneously by climate events .
Instead, we need a radical rethinking of our approach to building resilience in food supply chains. So far, all the approaches to climate adaptation are country or company-specific. But this global challenge requires a global solution: a collective, cooperative effort that is proactive rather than reactive from governments and companies on an international supply chain level to build resilience in the face of climate change.
One of those global initiatives could be to launch supply chain climate adaptation plans (S-CAPs). These plans, similar to national climate adaptation plans, would be led by multilateral organizations—WTO or World Bank in collaboration with governments—and private sector companies in food, agrochemical, and transportation sectors. They would start by identifying vulnerable global food supply chains, focusing on essential foods like wheat and rice. They would map out areas prone to climate risks, critical transport routes, and important farming regions. Then, they would develop strategies and identify projects to reduce these risks, such as creating climate-resistant seeds, diversifying transport methods, investing in technology to detect hazards, and growing crops in safer areas.
An effort like this would require funding—a combination of international funding and companies’ contributions to support assessments, R&D, and implementation. In fact, unlike initiatives for cutting carbon emissions, driven mainly by reputational and regulatory concerns, initiatives to protect our food supply chains could have 2 times to 10 times the return on investment in the short-to-medium term. For instance, Ethiopia’s investment in drought-resistant crops and water management increased yields by 40% and enhanced food security, returning $2 to $4 for every $1 spent.
An international agreement might not sound like the most exciting climate change solution, but it can help keep food stocked and prices low for everyday consumers.
When the COVID-19 crisis hit, the world came together and went from having no knowledge of the virus to developing and deploying 5 billion vaccines within 18 months. We can certainly replicate that for the food crisis. But a collaboration mindset, rather than an America-first isolationist mindset, is critical to succeed.
Comment This is clever elite edited intelligent drivel with that well worn cliche about coming together. Reality is that Rev Malthus was right. Humanity tends to overpopulate. Even if the white and Mongoloid population is falling thanks to feminism, African and Islamic populations are booming. The ruling western global elite are sitting pretty at the moment, but U.K anti immigration riots worry them. Malthus warned, back in the nineteenth century that overpopulation would outstrip food supply. He said that it would be redressed by war, famine and disease. That is what is happening and it is getting worse. That is what Ukraine and Sudan are about as the elites, using their media, churn out the propoganda as cover for raping the planet and blaming the white working class for the damage and pollution.

Kyiv warned they’re ‘provoking nuclear conflict’ amid their invasion of Russia
written by Mark Channer LLB Political Journalist15th Aug 24 4:14 pm
A Russian MP has issued a grave warning to Ukraine that they have crossed Vladimir Putin’s “red lines” and they are “provoking nuclear conflict.”
Ukrainian forces have captured more than 80 villages and their largest town Sudzha in ten days since they invaded Russia.
Appearing on Newsnight Maria Butina said that Kyiv is aiming to “escalate the conflict” and Russia will take back all their territory quickly.
Butina warned, “Russia will do everything to protect its territory”, she said. “They’re attacking nuclear plants…yes, they’re provoking a nuclear conflict.. they have no understanding of what it’s going to be.”

A Russian MP has issued a grave warning to Ukraine that they have crossed Vladimir Putin’s “red lines” and they are “provoking nuclear conflict.”
Ukrainian forces have captured more than 80 villages and their largest town Sudzha in ten days since they invaded Russia.

Butina warned, “Russia will do everything to protect its territory”, she said. “They’re attacking nuclear plants…yes, they’re provoking a nuclear conflict.. they have no understanding of what it’s going to be.”
“By trying to get PR points from the West, they actually put in danger the whole world.”
The Kyiv Post reported that Poland’s Gazeta Wyborcza warned Putin will come after Ukraine in a very brutal manner.
Wyborcza wrote, “Moscow is undoubtedly preparing its typical reaction to military defeats, namely to fire indiscriminately at Ukrainian territory, including civilian targets, with everything it has at its disposal.
“Putin won’t hesitate this time either. He needs to save face after this embarrassment. As the opposition member Leonid Gozman rightly remarked, ‘a tsar who can’t defend his territory cannot remain tsar’.”
Poland’s Rzeczpospolita wrote, “The Ukrainian offensive has also brought victory on a completely different, less obvious front.
“It is telling that the Western states didn’t initially comment on these events.
“They were probably observing the progress of the Ukrainian armed forces but also waiting for Moscow’s reaction. It was only after Putin ended the Security Council meeting without declaring a general mobilisation or martial law that the first comments appeared, including from the US and Germany.”
German’s Handelsblatt warned, “On the one hand, the advance widens the front, which can hardly be held anyway. It also ties up Russian forces, at least temporarily.
“But the Ukrainian soldiers who are now fighting in Russia are absent from sections of the front that threaten to become porous. … However, the advance is also risky for a second reason.
“The West has authorised the use of weapons it has supplied against military targets in the Russian border region. But should German Leopard tanks fall into the hands of the Russians during the attack, Vladimir Putin would happily use them as evidence for his narrative that NATO is actually waging war against Russia.”
Russia has few if any options – by R J Cook
Comment NATO is at war with Russia. President Biden said before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, his Democrat Government wants regime change in Russia. By this, Biden means they want another puppet to take over where the alcoholic western stooge Yelstin left over after drinking himself to death. Putin has few if any options. We already have World War III with western media pumping out the propoganda for its’ deluded masses. The U.K is a nation that yesterday declared men of a certain type touching up women on Lodon’s railways. as a national crisis. But when the 17 year old son of Rwanda asylum seekers kills young girls at a dance studio, the focus shifts onto so called far right protestors. This is why people believe that there is a two tier policing system.
A few days later, a Roumanian immigrant stabs and seriously injures a mother and child in Central London, but it is a crime to talk about it on social media. But it was not a crime to talk about a curfew for all men after a pervert police officer abducted, raped and murdered 30 year old Sarah Everard. The British feminist dominated chattering classes are quite free to use the derogatory expression ‘Privileged White Male’ with impunity. It is also acceptable for J K Rowling to denigrate male to females as rapists in waiting to get into ‘women’s safe spaces.
So Prime Minisiter Starmer and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, rushed to applaud riot police for doing their job, promising to recruit many more and demanding that the public show more respect for police officers who are putting their lives on the line every day, keeping the good people safe. The Labour ( sic ) Government has also promised stricter monitoring of internet postings and social media, with swift and severe punishments if posts are considered harmful.
Meanwhile, I heard astonishing comments today, from ‘Talk Radio.’ A female presenter mocked the recent insults to former Prime Minsiter Liz Truss endured on her book tour. This angry woman declared that if Ms Truss wanted to avoid any more unpleasant attention, she should climb into a ditcth and hide under leaves. This is allegedly because good people of Britain are still suffering from her 40 days in office before financially interested parties pushed her out for trying to help the poorer people.
In this short time, she apparently wrecked the economy making thousands unable to pay mortgages and causing mass unemployment. The real reason for this media moralist’s venom was clear when she said : ” Truss should not be going all over the United States grifting for Donald Trump, singing his praises. She is prostituting herself and doesn’t need the money. She gets £150,000 a year like all displaced government ministers. That is enough for her to live on.” Note that the western feminist sisterhood only includes women who are on message with their leaders, like billionaire fantasy writer J K Rowling.
This dreadful angry radio presenter’s anti Truss and anti Trump diatribe made no mention of Tory Churchill wannabe Boris Johnson, his Brexit disaster, lockdown and his enthusiasm for the NATO proxy war on Russia – with the so called ‘cost of living crisis’ that is really the ‘cost of war crisis.’
Unfortunately, Britain, via its ruling elite, trendy pressure groups and elite media, exerts enormous influence on the western world, which is why its tanks are involved in the Ukrainian incursion. Germany has esablished that Ukraine saboteurs destoyed the Nordstream 2 gas pipe line assisted by a British helicopter crew to aid their getaway.
Given the multicultural conflicts and the failures of the economy, absurd equality policies when 10% of the U.K population own 90% of the land, while 90% of the population live on the 10% of the land – where all the migrants are dumped at the lower classes’ expense – social conflict is inevitable. It is driven by TERF feminists and transsexual haters,. British diversity, as witnessed, during aforementioned riots in deprived hopeless desperate left behind white communities, should mean that one can understand what Russian leaders are afraid of. The nuclear option seems increasingly likely.

The RSF take on press freedom.
Since Maduro’s reelection as president of Venezuela the 28 July 2024, RSF found at least 70 violations of press freedom in only 15 days which shows the government’s determination to limit public debate. National and international journalists are facing a climate of hostility and repression marked by arbitrary arrests, threats, physical attacks, censorship and restrictions on information access. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) strongly condemns these violations and demands immediate restoration of journalists’ rights.
Political instability grows in Venezuela amidst allegations of electoral fraud, but the episodes of attack against the press are not new. Over the last decade, Nicolas Maduro’s regime has been working towards reinforcing the state’s hegemony in the mediatic landscape while reducing the space for independent journalism. The two mandates of Nicolas Maduro, in power since 2013, have been marked by a true hecatomb of independent journalism and mediatic pluralism. More than 200 radio stations and more than ten television channels have had their signal stopped by the National Commission for telecommunications. Regarding the press, since the beginning of Maduro’s presidency, over a hundred of titles ceased to be published due to the monopoly on paper importations and printing supplies. Online media has not been spared : between January and October 2023 only, Maduro’s government blocked access to 48 information websites.
Without you, RSF could not achieve this work of documentation of press freedom violation and help the journalists who are victims of harassment and repression all over the world.
Comment Having worked under the auspices of the pro western repressive Chile Pinochet regime, I suspect that the real surprise for Anglo Americans was the failure of their own election rigging tactics and expectations. These people have no right to talk of violating press freedom. As the Assange outrage demonstrated, the Anglo American elite define press freedom. That is why they expect to win the election for Donald Trump on the manifesto of ‘fighting sexism and racism, the only things that matter to them. Meanwhile we have another global health emergency and are at the mercy of an appalling ruling class of hypocrits.

Justice & Democracy by R J Cook
Comment Globalisation and mass migration with Africans and Muslim populations seeking a better life than the Third World squalor inflicted on them by western corporate greed, can only make the problems and resultant overpopulation worse. Mass ignorance and religious bigorty have always been essential to capitalism. As a poor kid at school, I had to sing ‘All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, The Rich man in his castle, the poor man at his gate, God made them high or lowly and ordered their estate.’
Then there were all those biblical quotations, like ‘Suffer little children to come unto me.’ As soon as the Romans discovered that rather than throwning Christians to the Lions for mass entertainement, it was more useful to their imperialist oppression to nationalise Christianity, creating the Roman Catholic Church, religion became a hegemony. There were the various sectarian politically motivated spin off, notably Islam and Protestantism.
But the masses don’t see the politics. They see only the hope of a better life after their living deaths in hell holes like Gaza and Africa. Do gooder white comfortable virtue signallers insist that the only solution is open door immigration, bringing Third World Poverty not to their pleasant gated estates and suburbs, but to the likes of the seven out of ten most deprived northern districts in the north of England that rioted last week. Prime Minsiter Starmer, former head of his country’s corrupt CPS, says now is not the time to talk about underlying causes. This ambitious lawyer and now top politician says that now is the time for ‘swift justice.’ This country’s leaders have their own definitions for justice and democracy.

Trump attacks Harris over US border policing – was it her job?
Will Grant
Mexico & Central America correspondent
- Published14 August 2024, 02:05 BST
From its opening line, Donald Trump’s first television advertisement blasting rival Kamala Harris took aim at what his campaign believes is her biggest weakness – immigration.
“This is America’s border tsar,” a narrator said, over images of the vice-president dancing, “and she’s failed us.”
A series of statistics followed, illustrating what the Trump campaign says took place under Ms Harris, who was given a role in dealing with the border crisis by President Joe Biden soon after his inauguration.
The figures in the video ranged from 10 million illegal border crossings to 250,000 fentanyl-related overdose deaths.
The voice concluded: “Kamala Harris: failed, weak, dangerously liberal.”
The Harris campaign responded that the former president was running on “his trademark lies”.
It comes as little surprise that the Trump campaign took its first big swing at Ms Harris as the “failed border tsar”, blaming her for the high numbers of undocumented immigrants at the US southern border.
Americans have consistently said in polls this year that immigration is a top problem facing their country, and it will weigh on many of their minds when they cast ballots for the next US president in November.
Since that first ad, Trump and his running mate JD Vance have repeatedly labelled Ms Harris the “failed border tsar”, and tied her to relentless images of people wading across the Rio Grande or squeezing under razor wire into the US.
Her critics say she should have found a way to address the issue over the past four years.
The political significance of the NATO-Ukrainian attack on Kursk
The Kursk offensive is of limited military effectiveness, but its political significance is substantial. It is an immense political humiliation of the Putin regime and a demonstration that NATO has no “red lines” for its escalation against Russia.
Comment U.K Media is very excited about the NATO backed Ukraine war for Russian regime change. The cost to human life is ignored because this is all about and for the western ruling elite’s aggrandisement and supreme wealth.
Russia has enemies on many borders. NATO could build on their invasion to step up action on multiple fronts. From Putin’s viewpoint, this may be the time to let loose battlefield nuclear weapons or worse. This is World War Three. Increasing Middle East and African conflicts are part of that process, as is the further harm to the global climate.
It is crucial that the U.S led Plutocrats cause to have Kamala Harris, self declared woman of colour, elected wins out. President in waiting Kamala Harris has it in the bag, exploiting the female and black victim cards. All she and Democrat biased media have to do is use Harris’s virtue signalling status as a former prosecuto. She has, speaking of Donald Trump, said : “I have met his type before.’ The ground for Harris’s inevevitable victory was laid with Joe Biden expressing fear that Trump will not accept the result of the November election. Haris and her followers obviously regard their victory as a foregone conclusion.

Bland By Name, Bland By Nature, Posh Boy Archie Bland Of The Guardian Speaks For The Smug Drivers Of Westerm Democratic Authoritarianism
Good morning. Later today ( August 12th), Donald Trump will be interviewed by the tech billionaire and owner of X, Elon Musk. It is unlikely to be a particularly searching examination of the former president’s ideas. Musk’s promise: “Entertainment guaranteed!”
By now, the fact that the man who runs one of the most influential social media platforms in the world has no compunction about using it to spread his worldview is well established. Events of the last week have only confirmed it: as a series of far-right riots convulsed the UK – that were to a significant extent fomented on X – Musk’s response was to say that “civil war is inevitable”, describe prosecutors as the “woke stasi”, and spread misinformation himself.
Despite the virulence and persistence of Musk’s highly politicised interventions, he has so far been more or less impervious to government regulation – in the UK or in most of the other places X operates. Today’s newsletter, with the Guardian’s global technology editor Dan Milmo, is about how Musk is using his platform to shape a febrile political era, and whether anything can be done to stop him.

Trump’s chat with Musk on X fact-checked

BBC Verify
- Published13 August 2024, 11:54 BST
In a two-hour discussion with Elon Musk, on the billionaire’s platform X, Donald Trump made a number of questionable and false claims – which went largely unchallenged.
The Republican presidential candidate returned to some familiar campaign themes, such as illegal immigration and rising prices, but he also talked about climate change.
BBC Verify has been checking some of his claims.
How fast are sea levels set to rise?
CLAIM: “The biggest threat is not global warming, where the ocean is going to rise one eighth of an inch over the next 400 years.”
VERDICT: According to climate projections, Trump is vastly underestimating the rise in sea levels.
In the decade 2014-2023, global average sea levels rose by an average of nearly 4.8mm per year (0.19in), according to the World Meteorological Organization., external
That increase is already greater than the one eighth of an inch (0.13in) that Mr Trump predicts will happen over the next 400 years.
The magnitude of future rises is difficult to predict, because it is uncertain how quickly ice-sheets will melt, and future warming will depend on greenhouse gas emissions from human activities.
The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has estimated, external a likely range of 0.28 to 1.01m of global sea-level rise by 2100 – although higher rises can’t be ruled out.
A sea-level rise of one metre would put hundreds of millions of people at risk, external of more regular coastal flooding, as well as submerging parts of low-lying countries such as the Maldives.
Have 20 million crossed the border?
CLAIM: “I think 20 million people have come across the border… I think millions are coming every month.”
VERDICT: It isn’t possible to know exactly how many illegal immigrants have entered the US across its southern border during President Biden’s time in office. Official data suggests it did hit record levels but not the kinds of numbers Trump claims.
Since January 2021, the US Customs and Border Protection agency says, external there have been 10.1m encounters of illegal migrants by enforcement officers in the US, with more than 8m of those coming over the southern border.
These figures don’t necessarily mean all these people successfully entered the US – some may have been sent back and the same person could be “encountered” trying to cross the border multiple times.
The official figures do represent a significant increase on the four years under Trump, and it is also the highest figure recorded under any US administration.
https://flo.uri.sh/visualisation/18508651/embed?auto=1
The data doesn’t show “millions” coming every month either. US Border Patrol agents apprehended around 57,000 migrants along the southern border in July – the lowest recorded since September 2020.
The numbers are down significantly from the peak under Mr Biden in December 2023, when around 250,000 migrants were caught crossing the border.

- Why is Elon Musk’s X struggling with technical problems?
Is bacon five times more expensive?
CLAIM: “I think we have the worst inflation we’ve had in 100 years… bacon costing four or five times more than it did a few years ago”.
VERDICT: This is false. Inflation peaked at 9.1% under President Biden – the highest in 41 years, not 100. The price of bacon is up 17% since Trump left office, not four or five times.
Inflation rose significantly during the first two years of the Biden administration, reaching the highest level since 1981.
This was comparable with many other Western countries, which experienced high inflation rates in 2021 and 2022, as global supply chain issues as a consequence of Covid and the war in Ukraine contributed to rising prices.
Some economists say Mr Biden’s $1.9tn (£1.5tn) spending plan in 2021 was a factor as well.
Since mid 2022, US inflation has fallen, with the latest monthly figure at 3% as of June, external.
In terms of bacon – the average price for a pound of sliced bacon was $5.83 in January 2021 when Trump left office, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, external. It now costs $6.83.
Did Trump build hundreds of miles of border wall?
CLAIM: “I built hundreds of miles of wall” to protect the southern border.
VERDICT: The length of border wall built during Trump’s presidency depends on what you are measuring, but if you include new sections as well as parts that have been replaced or reinforced, he built more than 450 miles.
A report by US Customs and Border Protection, external puts the total at 458 miles. However, only 85 miles of entirely new sections of wall were built under Trump.
The rest has been either replacing or reinforcing existing barriers.
President Biden suspended construction when he came into office, but last year his administration allowed the building of a section of wall in an effort to stop rising levels of immigration.
The section approved by Mr Biden is for 20 miles of barriers along the border in southern Texas.

Trump fights for spotlight as Democrats dominate coverage
Katty Kay
US Special Correspondent Katy Kay, BBC News
On Thursday, Donald Trump walked into a room of journalists gathered at his Mar-a-Lago estate for a news conference. He didn’t look particularly happy.
His remarks came after a week in which Kamala Harris and her new running mate Tim Walz have dominated media attention, raked in millions of dollars and enjoyed a bump in polling. Trump’s media event seemed more an attempt to win back the spotlight than announce anything new.
Just before Trump stepped up to the podium, one of his advisors texted me the wry assessment that Donald Trump is “never boring!!” (the exclamation marks were his).
The event included a couple of news items. Trump announced that he’d agreed to join a TV debate with Vice-President Harris on 10 September. ABC News, the debate host, confirmed that Ms Harris had agreed to participate as well.
Trump also said he’d like to do two more debates. There’s no word from the Harris team yet on whether they’ve accepted those additional matchups.
Over the course of the hour-long event, Trump took dozens of questions and he chastised Ms Harris for failing to take questions from reporters since ascending to the top of the ticket.
- Debate showdown between Trump and Harris set for September
- Three ways Trump is trying to end the Harris honeymoon
- ‘Is she black or Indian?’: Trump questions Harris’ racial identity
Much of the event, though, was spent on Trump’s old favourites, as if he was reaching for his rally hits. He talked about poll numbers, the unfair media, the dire state of the country and, yes, crowd sizes (even comparing his crowds to those of the civil rights leader Dr Martin Luther King, Jr)
Historically, one way Trump gets attention is by saying things that are controversial. And there was some of that today, too. He suggested America was on the brink of a world war and said Jewish Americans who support Vice-President Harris need “to have your head examined”.
This attention deficit is an unusual position for Trump.
The former president is not used to having to fight for the limelight, particularly in this election cycle. The Biden campaign was happy to let Trump dominate the news, in the belief that the more the race was about the former president, the better it would be for the current one. The Biden team wanted Trump front and centre.
But the shake up on the Democratic side has been dramatic and newsworthy and has pushed Trump off the front pages. To make things harder for the Republican candidate, much of the coverage of Ms Harris’s unexpected roll out as Democratic candidate has been positive. So, the strategy by Democrats has flipped.
Right now, Democrats are enjoying the media attention. Ms Harris wants this race to be about her. And with all the Democratic political drama, the press has been happy to oblige.
Hence the Mar-a-Lago news conference that didn’t really have much news.
Trump may do better following the advice of Marc Lotter, the Republican strategist who ran communication strategy for his 2020 campaign, who texted me to say the way the former president should win back attention was to stay focused.
“Define Harris and Walz on policy,” he said. “He wins on policy and results.”
To be fair, there was some of that in this press event. Trump repeatedly described Ms Harris as “extreme” and “liberal”. He did tout his own record on the economy and the border.
But the attacks got rather lost in his grievance about crowd sizes and how they are reported, and even suggested that there may be something unconstitutional about the Harris campaign.
And, then it was over. And, as if to prove a point, within minutes of Trump walking off stage, the fickle cable news cameras had shifted their lenses from Florida to
Michigan where Ms Harris and Mr Walz were holding a meeting with union workers. It was the Democrats time for some press coverage. Once again.
Comment The mainstream elite media has decided that Trump is going to lose. That is U.S and Western Style Democracy.

Steve Rosenberg: Ukraine’s incursion shows Russia’s war is not going to plan
Steve Rosenberg
BBC Russia Editor
Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine was conceived in the Kremlin as a short, sharp military operation.
The expectation was that it would take a matter of days, a few weeks maximum, for Russia to establish control over its neighbour.
That was nearly two-and-a-half years ago.
The war in Ukraine rages on. It has not gone at all as Moscow had intended.
But here’s the thing. Over the last 29 months, so often we’ve heard senior Russian officials claiming that the operation is going “according to plan.”
President Vladimir Putin last said that in May, despite everything that had happened in the preceding two years: the heavy Russian casualties on the battlefield, the destruction of multiple Russian warships in the Black Sea, drone attacks deep inside Russia (even on the Kremlin itself), the shelling of Russian towns and villages near the Ukrainian border, the mutiny by Wagner mercenary fighters who had marched on Moscow.
Now there is a new addition to the list: this week’s cross-border Ukrainian assault on Russia’s Kursk region.
First, a disclaimer: it’s difficult to know exactly what is happening right now in the Sudzha district of Kursk region. It is unclear how many Ukrainian troops are there, how much territory they have seized and what their final objective may be.
Today’s edition of the Russian broadsheet Nezavisimaya Gazeta declared: “Events on the Kursk front are shrouded in the notorious fog of war.”
But even in fog, some things are clear.
It’s evident that what is unfolding in Kursk region is further evidence that Russia’s war in Ukraine has not gone “according to plan”. Events appear to have taken Russia’s political and military leadership completely by surprise.
Don’t expect Moscow to admit that.
More likely, Russian officials will use the Ukrainian assault to try to rally the Russian public around the government and bolster the official Kremlin narrative that (a) in this conflict Russia is not the aggressor, and (b) Russia is a besieged fortress surrounded by enemies who are plotting to invade and destroy it.
- Why has Ukraine launched a cross-border attack on Russia?
- Published23 hours ago
- State of emergency declared as Ukraine launches raid into Russia
- Published11 hours ago
In reality it was Russia that launched a full-scale invasion of its neighbour.
There’s clearly a big difference in language. When Russia poured its troops across the border into Ukraine in February 2022, the Kremlin called this a “special military operation” and claimed that Russia was “liberating” towns and villages.
Moscow has described Ukrainian troops pushing into Russia as “a terrorist attack” and “a provocation.”

Welcome to Balance of Power, bringing you the latest in global politics. If you haven’t yet, sign up here.
President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has unexpectedly given rise to a Ukrainian intervention across the border into Russia, to the evident embarrassment of the Kremlin leader.
The incursion by as many as 1,000 Ukrainian troops into the Kursk region that’s now in its third day caught out the Russian military. It’s the first time since World War II that another country’s army has invaded Russia.
A grim-faced Putin summoned his army and security-service chiefs for an explanation yesterday. Furious Russian military bloggers accused top officials of staggering incompetence.
European gas prices rose amid reports of fighting near a key Russian station on the last remaining pipeline route to Europe via Ukraine. So far, gas continues to flow.
Ukraine has said nothing about the mission or its goals. Theories abound, from an attempt to seize territory as a potential bargaining chip in future negotiations with Moscow, to a diversionary tactic to ease pressure on stretched defenses in Ukraine by drawing Russian forces away from the frontline.
The White House said it would seek a “better understanding” from Kyiv, adding that Ukraine hasn’t breached US rules on its use of American-supplied weapons inside Russia.
The episode exposed the fragility of Russian border defenses with growing numbers of its soldiers fighting in Ukraine. It has boosted Ukrainian morale.
And it has also punctured the Kremlin’s carefully constructed image of Putin as the protector of ordinary Russians.
Instead, the war he started in Ukraine now spills increasingly into Russia, where people in border regions live under constant risk of shelling and drones strike key industrial facilities.
For Ukraine, it’s likely to bolster Kyiv’s argument that US and European allies shouldn’t fear Kremlin threats of escalation and that it should be allowed to take the fight to Putin in any way it sees fit to hasten an end to the war.— Anthony Halpin

Could Tim Walz be most progressive VP ever after effective attacks on ‘weird’ Trump and support for ‘Taylor Swift law’?
Mr Walz is well-placed with a proven appeal to rural, white voters and has championed popular progressive policies.
By Megan Harwood-Baynes, news reporter
Tuesday 6 August 2024 15:00, UK
A former teacher and member of the US Army National Guard, Tim Walz has gone viral for attacking Donald Trump and JD Vance as “weird” – an insult the Harris campaign has embraced.
And now they have embraced the Minnesota governor entirely and put him on the presidential ticket.
Mr Walz may not have the same profile as other vice presidential hopefuls, but he is well-placed with a proven appeal to rural, white voters. He has championed progressive policies, including free school meals and expanded paid worker leave.
He also signed into law the so-called Taylor Swift bill, prompted by the frustration a legislator felt at not being able to buy tickets to Swift’s 2023 concert in Minneapolis. The law requires ticket sellers to disclose all fees upfront and prohibits resellers from selling more than one copy of a ticket for live events held in Minnesota.
And while Minnesota is a solidly Democratic state, it is close to Wisconsin and Michigan, two crucial battlegrounds. In 2020, Minnesota voted for Biden/Harris with a fairly comfortable margin, but the president’s win in Wisconsin was by a margin of just 0.63%.

Even after a year in jail, Imran Khan still dominates Pakistan’s politics
Caroline Davies
Pakistan correspondent
Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan has now been behind bars for a year – although there are times you would barely know it.
Mr Khan is still the dominant force of Pakistan’s opposition politics; his name still in the papers and the courts. His social media supporters have been unrelenting.
With no public appearances, the few people allowed in to see the former cricket star regularly – his lawyers and family – have become his conduit for messages to the outside world. They are keen to push the message that his 365 days behind bars have left him unbowed.
“There is still a swagger about him,” Aleema Khanum, Imran Khan’s sister, says. “He’s got no needs, no wants – only a cause.”
According to those who visit him, Mr Khan spends his days on his exercise bike, reading and reflecting. He has an hour a day to walk around the courtyard. There have been occasional disagreements about how quickly the family can provide him with new books.
“He has said ‘I’m not wasting a minute of my time in jail, it’s an opportunity for me to get more knowledge’,” Ms Khanum tells the BBC.
But the fact is Mr Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi are still trapped in prison, with no sign they will be released any time soon.
According to some, this is not a surprise.
“There was no expectation that Mr Khan was going to do anything that would make it easy for him to get out of jail,” says Michael Kugelman, director of the South Asia Institute at the Wilson Centre think tank in Washington.
And the military – Pakistan’s powerful behind-the-scenes player – “don’t ease up when they decide there’s a political figure that they want to lock up”, says Mr Kugelman. “That has especially been the case with Khan.”
Indeed, the military has been key to many of the ups and downs of Mr Khan’s life in the last decade. Many analysts believe it was his initial close relationship with the military establishment which helped him win power.
But by 9 May last year, that was in tatters. Mr Khan – who had been ousted from power in a vote of no confidence in 2022 – had been arrested, and his supporters came out to protest.
Some of those protests turned violent, and there were attacks on military buildings – including the official residence of the most senior army official in Lahore which was looted and set alight.
In the aftermath, BBC sources said Pakistan’s media companies had been told to stop showing his picture, saying his name or playing his voice.

Clearly Rotten To The Core by R J Cook
Double standards of the Anglo American liberal mind set ensures more progress along the road to ruin. Inevitably certain of her nomination, Vice President Kamala Harris kicked of her election campaign with a sneering rant about Donald Trump. She is playing the feminist card. Maybe the racist card is yet to come.
As soon as Kamala Harris was mentioned as Biden’s replacement, a BBC Newscast from the United States showed her recalling her days as a State Prosecutor. Here, she said knowingly of Trump :”I have met his type of female abuser before. I know them well”.
As the picture shows, Harris was relishing the topic as she addressed adoring Democrats, liberal ( sic ) international media and the masses. She offered no details of Trump’s alleged offences against women, assaults on women or anything else, only her smirking self satisfied support for all women of the United States and the wider world.
This news bulletin recapped Harris’s admiring and embracing the former Democrat President Bill Clinton. She was embracing the man who taught young White House intern Monica Lewinsky how to smoke a cigar with her vagina. He ejaculated over her ‘little black dress’ in the Oval Office. There was no mention from Saint Kamala, of this or all Clinton’s previous court cases, like the hotel chambermaid who alleged he had propositioned and flashed her, giving precise details of the man’s exposed genital peculiarities.
The man had form. But Kamala doesn’t want the public reminded of any male Democrats infidelity and intense moralising hypocrisy. This style was made famous by the late President John F Kennedy and his brothers. There is also the matter of Kennedy’s father Joe’s dubious and ruthless business practices to be forgotten when Harris laid into his leadership of the Trump Empire.
Another famous U.S Hypocrite was J Edgar Hoover. He liked relaxing while wearing his late mother’s clothes. He never married and had a very close relationship with his deputy head of the FBI. Hoover, like his namesake, liked a clean image, was very aware of dirt and so kept a very sharp eye on the Kennedy’s.
Hoover famously stated that every person had their sexual secrets and peccadilloes. Harris is playing the same game with Trump. Her confederates are no doubt researching Vance’s background to find scandals on him and wreck his marriage. These terrible people, meanwhile, have been busy covering up for Biden’s senility for the last 3.5 years.
So it is no wonder that Harris has nothing to say about who has been running the vast powerful United States or how the Biden regime has led not a ‘drift’ , but a ‘sprint’ toward World War III, the ultimate war to end wars and everything else.
There is an easily discernible pattern about Western style Democratic Politics. Firstly its’ elite members are motivated by greed, desperate to be part of the United States comforting hegemony under cover of NATO.
Secondly, the strategy is in your face self righteous moralising feminist anti racist doctrine, ensuring an environment where obscenely rich war mongering planet eaters have adequate cover for their increasingly lavish and degenerate life styles. They have ensured themselves with expensive luxury and massive underground bunkers. Here they expect to still enjoy life, when the worst outcome of their war mongering happens. Then the hapless jingoistic minions will be cooked alive.
As for Trump’s crimes, all I am aware of is that he was accused of indecently assaulting New York magazine gossip columnist E Jean Carroll. Oddly for someone who was basically a paid diarist looking for exciting scandals, Ms Carroll could not be sure if the actual year or precise date. She said it was either in 1995 or 1996. Her forgetfulness seems rather amazing considering she called it a life changing event because it was so traumatic. So nearly 30 years later, when Trump was preparing for the upcoming Presidential Election campaign, she breaks her silence when in her late 70s,
Carroll took him to Civil Court for damages and to make her version of his evil character known world wide. It was just one of a number of well timed and highly convenient prosecutions, weaponising the justice system to knock Donald Trump out of the Presidential race – and so protect precious consensus democracy..
The alleged offence took place in a ladies fitting room inside Macey’s Department Store. They apparently met by chance, but knew each other. Carroll agreed to enter a ladies fitting room to model some expensive lingerie which he was buying for a another woman. Their exact level of intimacy on that occasion has not been specified.
Whatever. The judge warned Trump’s lawyer to back off because he was upsetting the stately Ms Carroll. He awarded her a multi million dollar settlement and then a substantial top up because Trump refused to accept his guilt. Since the case was heard in a civil court, technically it was not a criminal conviction. But it was for the baying global corporate media. The burden of proof is much lower in civil courts, where there is no need for evidence ‘beyond reasonable doubt.’.
The Democrats kept themselves very busy working on Trump post his 2016 electoral victory when their vengeance was required for Saint Hilary Clinton (wife of President Bill the sex pest) being defeated. Interestingly, the fact that she and her clique never stopped complaining that she was the actual winner of the 2016 Election and Trump’s victory was fraudulent, is never mentioned by elite state and corporate media. That was a case of ‘pots and kettles.’ Then came the Christopher Steele file with the Russian Agent and perverse sexual activities in Moscow. Donald Trump’s legal claim over allegations he took part in “perverted” sex acts and gave bribes to Russian officials has been dismissed by a High Court judge.
He had brought the data protection case in the UK after claims were published about him in the so-called “Steele Dossier” before the 2016 election – which saw Donald Trump become president.
Mr Trump’s claim was against Orbis Business Intelligence – a private investigations firm founded by former British spy Christopher Steele, who previously ran the Secret Intelligence Service’s (MI6) Russia desk.
Mr Steele was the author of the dossier which included allegations Mr Trump had been “compromised” by the Russian security service, the FSB. Obviously the deep state, or Swamp as Trump called it, had been making plans to provoke Russia by violating the Minsk Agreements since 2008. Ukraine’s corrupt ‘Chocolate King’, President Poroshenko, admitted that was their NATO backed plan all along. They just needed time to build up their armed forces to fight Russia and provoke a western friendly regime change. Biden described the war as a very good investment with he and his son making vast profits from the corrupt Ukraine State which was up for billionaire and corporate asset stripping. This was Anglo U.S led western style democracy at its definitive best.
However, impeachment proceedings failed. So because the Democrats see themselves as the embodiment of the U.S, if not the world’s, Democratic ideal, they moved in with great moral fervour, to weaponise the so called New York justice system as soon as Trump disclosed his plans to stand as the Republican nominee for President. He had to be stopped. Here in the U.K, Sky and BBC are working flat out in the Democratic cause.
They are now very excited because they have a black female candidate to promote. The BBC’s slogan is ‘This is the BBC Broadcasting across the U.K and throughout the world.’ They repeat it every day between their bulletins.
The fact that their esteemed President Joe Biden had been displaying clear signs of memory failure, confusion, ambulatory failures and effectively dementia, did not concern his Democrat Puppet Masters and media lackeys. Trump had to be blocked at all costs and Biden’s health issues kept under deep cover.
This atrocious state of affairs had to be kept under wraps at all costs. The Democrat pampered elite and their magnificently wealthy backers were protecting their self interests and class. The race and feminist cards are guaranteed to keep a mindless mass of common folk on their side.
So we come to the so far second of two cases of Trump’s alleged sexual abuse of women. It relates to a porn star with the tacky name ‘Stormy Daniels’ and him blackmailing him for services rendered in a luxury hotel room. Encouraged by Democrat Party muck rakers, she violated her non disclosure agreement for which she had been handsomely rewarded. This woman was hardly a shrinking violet. Her claims of abuse do not hold water. Breaching her agreement was business malpractice at the very least. She should be forced to pay the money back.
Nevertheless, the matter gave the Democrat Party a perfect excuse to accuse Trump of business fraud because the hush money was simply recorded as business expenses by Michael Cohen his disgraced lawyer who turned State informer on his former employer. Cohen was already a convicted liar barred from legal practice. He offered his evidence as revenge after being dismissed for defrauding his employer. Trump faced inevitable conviction because the New York Democrat DA was going to have him convicted regardless.
The DA’s exaggerations and bias stood in stark contrast to how Joe Biden’s son Hunter’s own dubious dealings,especially involving Ukraine were dismissed. The Biden’s consultancy and investment were extremely lucrative. They go a long way in explaining why the Democrats need the NATO Ukraine Proxy War on Russia. This is so, whatever the harm done to the global economy, ordinary peoples’ lives or the prospect of World War III and a climate disaster which is already happening.
To any intelligent open minded person, this appalling Democrat Industrial Military Complex Conspiracy to pervert the course of justice in Trump’s case, thus sustaining extreme corruption, makes a laughing stock of the United States, United Kingdom and their allies claims to be democracies. One person, one vote, for a predetermined heavily advertised media choice of ruling elite choices, is not democracy. That is why consensus politicians and their media cronies keep telling us that it is.
Anglo U.S led militarism, and Deep State corruption deliberately provoked Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. These people have no basis for moralising because they have done this stuff to others many times and are effectively out to invade Russia and China for regime change purposes. More corruption, bare faced western pseudo democratic lies will only make a bad situation much worse The consequences are already bad enough. Soon they will be worse than dire,
The assassination attempt on Donald Trump raises key questions. The killer was very much in evidence at the Republican Rally long before any shots were fired. Security were warned by members of the public. He was shot dead before he could answer questions. Current Congressional Hearings into this tragedy which killed an innocent fire chief , with great loss to his family, have raised more questions than answers. The giggling self satisfied fool, Kamala Harris, is no answer to democracy. Her elevation to power has been the very much the opposite. Like Sir Keir Starmer in the U.K, it is no worthwhile boast for Harris to have been a State Prosecutor where both systems may well be driven by political correctness, but they are clearly rotten to the core.
