The second week of September was rich in news related to both the Russian and American space programs. Everyone was interested in what would happen to the crew of Boeing’s Starliner, and the Russian lunar program was also intriguing.

The story of the Starliner crew is a sympathetic one. Veteran astronauts Barry Eugene “Butch” Wilmore and Sunita Lyn Williams  launched the first crewed test flight of the seven-seat reusable Starliner on June 5. NASA seemed to sense that it was not yet time to risk seven people. Especially considering that the unmanned Starliner had already failed.

This week marks 23 years since George W. Bush declared a U.S.-led “war on terror” and the people of Afghanistan and Iraq are still suffering its consequences.

After the U.S. invaded Iraq, an estimated half a million Iraqis were killed and at least 9.2 million were displaced. From 2003-2011, more than 4.7 million Iraqis suffered from moderate to severe food insecurity. 

Turns out Liz “Lettuce” Truss, famed for her 49-day reign as Britain’s PM, isn’t the only piece of rotting debris from the Conservative Party’s disastrous final years in power to wash up on these shores.

Truss’ appearance before a few hundred at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Brisbane next month will be swiftly followed by another visit from Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson in December, whose buffoonish three years in No.10 ended with a whimper in 2022 after a series of scandals.

It’s sickening to think Australian governments would put the gas cartel and foreign citizens ahead of lower electricity for Australians. But as Rex Patrick reveals from the latest FOI documents, sadly, that’s what they have done.

In October 2022, nine months after Russia invaded Ukraine, then West Australian Premier Mark McGowan gave some unsolicited advice to the federal government on how to deal with surging gas and electricity prices. They should look to his state to find a solution, he told the ABC’s 730 Report. 

McGowan was primarily referring to the gas reservation policy that’s been in place in WA since 2006, whereby gas producers are forced to reserve 15% of the gas they produce for use in WA.

Die meisten Publikationen, die sich dem Schicksal der Juden in Deutschland annehmen, haben primär den Zeitraum zwischen 1939 und 1945 im Blick. Dieses Buch ist anders: Es setzt weit früher an und widmet sich vornehmlich der Frage nach der Entstehung des deutsch-jüdischen Dilemmas.

Most publications that deal with the fate of the Jews in Germany primarily focus on the period between 1939 and 1945. This book is different: it starts much earlier and is primarily devoted to the question of how the German-Jewish dilemma arose.

Germany has nothing to hide in its investigation into the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage, Chancellor Olaf Scholz has insisted, days after Moscow described the probe as “absolutely not transparent.”

So far, no one has claimed responsibility for the 2022 blasts that severed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines, which transported Russian natural gas to Germany and other parts of Western Europe.

”We call on all security authorities and the Federal Public Prosecutor General to investigate the blasts without regard for anyone,” Scholz said during a meeting with citizens in Prenzlau, Brandenburg, on Saturday.

Members of the French government are concerned about the Ukraine conflict spiraling out of control and are now exercising “great discretion,” Le Monde reported on Saturday, citing diplomatic sources.

Fears of the confrontation escalating into a direct collision between Moscow and the NATO bloc have skyrocketed over the past few days, as the US and its allies reportedly consider authorizing Kiev to conduct strikes deep in Russian territory using Western weaponry.

While France has announced “no official position” on the matter, unnamed diplomats in private conversations admitted to the French daily that Paris has been concerned about potential escalation and has been trying to avoid it.

“We must do everything possible to avoid World War III,” an unnamed official told the newspaper.

An estimated 1.6 billion people rely on VPNs to carry out the most sensitive tasks online, from watching illegal videos to engaging in sexual or political activities. But few people know that a considerable chunk of that market—including three of the six most popular VPNs—is quietly operated by an Israeli-owned company with close connections to that country’s national security state, including the elite Unit 8200 and Duvdevan Units of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).

AMERICANS REPRESENTS LESS THAN FIVE PER CENT OF THE WORLD POPULATION, YET THET VIE TO CONTROL THE WHOLE WORLD VIA VARIOUS MEANS, SOME OVERT AND SOME COVERT.

BUT THIS IS NOT THE REAL STORY.

THE POINT IS THAT ONLY A VERY FEW AMERICANS (AT THIS STAGE WE SHALL HIGHLIGHT THEM AS A FEW WHITE MEN, RATHER THAN OTHER ETHNIC GROUP) ARE CENTRAL TO THIS CONSPIRACY. IT IS REFERRED TO AS THE DEEP STATE IN A LOOSE WAY OF DEFINITION. WE LOVE LABELS. THE DEEP STATE LOVES POWER. IT’S PSYCHOPATHIC. 

WE SHALL EXPLAIN THAT THERE IS A PYRAMID OF COMMAND, WITH THE CENTRAL CORE OF VERY FEW CONSPIRATORS AT THE TOP, MANAGING VARIOUS LEVELS OF EXECUTIVES TAKING ORDERS WHO IN TURN GIVE INSTRUCTIONS AND COMMANDS TO THE LOWER RANKS, SEEPING DOWN TO THE BILGES OF THE POOREST DUM FOLLOWERS.

RT has played a major role in eroding support for Ukraine around the world, and the network has fundraised to buy weapons for the Russian military, the US State Department claimed on Friday. The US has sanctioned RT’s parent company in response.

In a press briefing in Washington, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken leveled a slew of accusations against RT. Blinken claimed that the outlet operates a range of nominally independent news channels on social media in order to spread pro-Kremlin messaging, that it operates a secretive cyber operations unit linked to Russian intelligence, and that it covertly manages a crowdfunding platform to arm and supply Russian troops fighting in the Ukraine conflict.

Israel and its lobby today try to conflate the state with Jews around the world, that it speaks for Jews and encompasses the entire diaspora. Richard Silverstein, author and journalist of the Tikun Olam blog, says that this couldn’t be further from the truth. As the genocide in Gaza rages on, along with the killing of Israeli citizens and the mass torture of Palestinians, the support for Israel among Jews, particularly the younger generation, will continue to falter as the state itself plunges deeper into despair.

Everything is going to plan – Zelensky
The Ukrainian leader has claimed the loss of territory in Kursk Region is part of his strategy to defeat Russia

Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has downplayed the Russian counteroffensive in Kursk Region, claiming that what is taking place is consistent with Kiev’s military planning.

The Russian Defense Ministry recently listed ten settlements in Kursk that it said Russian troops had liberated over the two previous days. It also estimated total Ukrainian casualties suffered in the incursion at over 12,500 troops.

I wish Trump was a Russian asset.

I wish when he was president the first time, he would have called in Russian peacekeepers to dismantle the US democracy and establish a dictatorship that works with Russia to liberate the Vagina Occupation Government states of Europe.

Ultra-Cocksucker McCabe Brings Back “Trump is a Russian Asset” Narrative

BY Andrew Anglin

But the thing is: he was already president once, and he was totally psycho on Russia. People push this “he didn’t start any new wars” narrative, but he is the one who sent “lethal aid” to the Ukraine, and is therefore directly responsible for the current war*.
