how the war's going?

How’s the war going? Huh? Do you mean the war over in Ukraine? Or the US government’s war against its own people?

    Well, the first one, the Ukraine War, is mostly destroying Europe — though, apparently, the denizens of Germany, Holland, et al., haven’t figured that out yet. Europe’s industrial economy is toast without affordable Russian natgas. We turned off their pipeline for that in September and nobody in Europe objected.

They just sucked it up and went back to smoking cigarettes at their café tables. A year or so from now, nobody in Europe will have enough money for a cappuccino (or cigarettes) and maybe then they’ll start asking the mental mollusks who run things there some questions — if they don’t just leapfrog all that politesse and burn the joint down.

      The main thing about the Ukraine War is that the US doesn’t want it to end. You understand, it is not about any airy-fairy principles such as freedom for Ukraine. It’s about antagonizing Russia no matter how many dead Ukrainians it takes, because US officials developed a delusional psychosis about Russia after years of using it to mind-fuck American citizens, and our folks-in-charge have to justify that antagonism by pretending we have vested interests in Ukraine, which we don’t, by the way.

      So far, everything we’ve done to promote the conflict has backfired on Western Civ. Most of the rest of the world recognizes that the US has gone insane and they are taking careful steps to decouple from us — mainly to stop using our money for international trade. Really, would you want to have anything to do with a crazy person? No, you’d put as much distances as possible between you and this lunatic and stop even trying to communicate. If the world stops using the dollar in trade, the dollar will lose value, and so will the trillions in US bond paper held by other countries, which said countries will seek to unload as quickly as possible. Can you spell sovereign debt crisis? Look out below….

      Americans, apparently, are not emotionally exercised over the Ukraine War because we don’t have any troops coming home from there in body-bags (not yet, at least). Many have probably noticed that we’ve blown over $100-billion on the project, and, along with the aforementioned debt crisis, that might just plant a seed of resentment as prices in the supermarkets and at the gas pumps shoot up ever more and the mass job layoffs surge, and the re-po man comes a’knocking, and more banks wobble.

      Of course, our Ukraine War project (based on the mind-game Why-Don’t-You-and-Him-Fight?) could end pretty suddenly if, as rumored, Ukraine runs out of cannon fodder and artillery shells (despite all our assistance). And then what? You’re left with “Joe Biden” looking like history’s all-time champeen loser, and watch out in the Taiwan Strait, where the US Pacific Fleet could get transformed into the world’s biggest set of floating ashtrays….

     You get the picture? Now how about that other war: our government’s war against us? What canny reporters (Taibbi, Schellenberger) are calling the Censorship Industrial Complex has been pretty well outed. Everybody knows that the FBI, CIA, DHS, and many other agencies, via hijacked social media, have worked tirelessly to confound and bamboozle the public debate about, really, everything that matters. The odd part is that roughly half of America doesn’t seem to care. Of course, that is the same half of the country that has fallen in love with surveillance, censorship, political prosecutions, election monkey business, mandated mRNA shots, and other excursions into bad faith. Their auditors in the mainstream news media actually seem to relish their roles as enforcers of unreality.

     This degenerate wickedness has been escalating since one Donald Trump stepped onstage years ago. The “Joe Biden” regime affects to have trapped him finally in the lair of Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. Now the game gets interesting. Since the charges are the sheerest vapor, the actual aim of this prosecution, as Tom Luongo and Martin Armstrong point out, is to goad Mr. Trump into a civil contempt citation that will allow the New York authorities to lock him up. The judge in the case will impose a gag order on Mr. Trump speaking out about the proceedings against him, and when he opens his yap — as he is certain to do — they’ll throw a net around him and drag him off to the hoosegow, and try to keep him there indefinitely, as they kept the Jan 6 suspects in the DC jail. That is, if the Bragg operation in New York City can extract the former president from the state of Florida, which may not be so easy, now that Governor DeSantis has indicated a disinclination to allow it.

      As to the case itself, a judge with any self-respect would toss it in a pre-trial hearing like a six-day-dead carp at the slightest prompting by a defense attorney — based, as it is, on multiple specious novelties of criminal law, not to mention being well beyond the statute of limitations. If this stinker can actually get to trial, the prosecution will be a jurisprudential joke for the ages. If they get a Big Apple jury to go along with the joke, it will be short-listed through the appeals process clean up to the Supreme Court in a New York minute.

      And if that whole thing falls apart like the janky jenga tower it is, there are two other matters against Mr. Trump in the wings — the bullshit case in Fulton County, Georgia, where the grand jury process was already compromised by a jury fore-person, self-identified as a “witch,” shooting her mouth off to the press; and the operation out of the DC Federal District run by one Special Counsel Jack Smith in the Mar-a-Lago classified papers matter — another loser case, considering all the other high officials currently entangled in similar complaints, as yet unmolested by any official charges.

      Sound like a plan? Yes, it sounds like a plan to foment a civil war. Especially considering all the other crap our country is being subjected to by a bureaucracy-gone-wild, the regime fronting for it, and its legions of mentally ill useful idiots disturbing the peace all over the land. Probably more than half of America realizes that the legal system has been purloined by the same rogues who infiltrated social media and the state boards of election. They are getting good and goddam sick of it, along with all the mental twerkery around transgenderism, race hustling, climate change, and Ukraine. I’m sure it means we’re in for a thrilling spring and summer.

Stormy Daniels, the porn star at the center of an historic criminal indictment against Donald Trump, has been ordered to pay an additional $122,000 in legal fees that the then-president incurred when she sued him unsuccessfully for defamation in 2018.

A federal appellate court in California ruled on the fee dispute on Tuesday, right around the same time that Trump was pleading not guilty in New York City to criminal charges stemming from an alleged $130,000 hush-money payment that was made to Daniels while he was running for president in 2016. Daniels, who claimed to have been threatened to keep quiet about an alleged affair with Trump, sued the then-president after he dismissed her accusations as a “total con job.”

The latest court order covers legal fees that Trump ran up in defending against Daniels’ appeal of a judge’s decision to throw out her defamation lawsuit. Harmeet Dillon, one of the lawyers representing Trump in the defamation case, said Tuesday’s ruling brings to more than $600,000 the combined fee awards that her firm has obtained against Daniels.

Darya Trepova, the prime suspect in the murder of prominent Russian military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky, has been placed in pre-trial detention. The decision was announced by a Moscow court on Tuesday, shortly after Trepova was charged with terrorism by Russia’s Investigative Committee.

The hearings took place behind closed doors on request of investigators, with the court supporting the motion despite opposition from Trepova and her legal team. The suspect will remain in pre-trial custody for two months, which may be extended further if needed.

Earlier in the day, Trepova was charged with committing an act of terrorism while operating as part of an organized group, as well as illegal trafficking of explosive materials. The offences may result in up to 20 years behind bars if she’s found guilty.

According to the Investigative Committee, Trepova is the prime suspect in the assassination of Tatarsky (real name Maksim Fomin). She is believed to have brought a figurine loaded with explosives to an event at a café in central St. Petersburg, hosted by Tatarsky, on Sunday. She gave the blogger the figurine, which detonated shortly afterwards, killing him on the spot and injuring over 30 others.

The suspect had been “following the instructions of persons acting from the territory of Ukraine,” the Investigative Committee noted.

On April 3, 2023, the woman who brought the bust containing the explosive device that killed war reporter Vladlen Tatarski, Daria Trepova, was eventually arrested. The way the arrest of this woman and the assassination of Vladlen Tatarski was covered by Western media and officials reveals the deeply terrorist nature of Western governments, Ukraine and their supporters in Russia.

The woman who gave Vladlen Tatarski the bust containing the explosives that killed him, who went by the name Nastya, was eventually identified as Daria Trepova. She and her husband unsurprisingly turned out to be active supporters of Alexei Navalny, and many other pro-Western movements in Russia. Last year they were arrested for taking part in a demonstration in support of Ukraine after the start of the special military operation.

Despite this, Daria Trepova managed to infiltrate the close circle of Vladlen Tatarski. She was recruited for this by journalist Roman Popkov, who first taught her journalism, then asked her to complete an assignment for an acquaintance, in exchange for the promise of payments of 20,000 rubles (230 euros) for each stage completed, and a job in a newspaper in kyiv once the mission is completed. Except that Popkov's acquaintance turned out to be an agent of the Ukrainian intelligence services!

 

Помогаем следствию. Дарья Трепова проводила разведку в московской Листве, посещала ивенты, втиралась в доверие с помощью благотворительных z-открыток и вела псевдо z-канал.

Убийца не просто так сказала перед терактом, что она «из Листвы», она действительно отбивала пороги лавки, но не питерской, а московской. Придя в Листву 3 марта она представилась Настей (также называл её в Киберфронте и Владлен). Вела себя активно, фоткалась с разными углами, общалась с продавцом, хвасталась ему своим z-каналом. Долго листала книги Татарского, купила два шоппера, потрогала косоворотки.

О канале. https://t.me/oskolki22. Канал создан в 2021 году, но z-патриотическим становится только в декабре 2022. С этого момента на нём выходят тугие посты в поддержку СВО, репосты из Листвы. Вероятно, именно тогда Дарья и начинает активно готовиться к теракту.

Также Дарья предложила нам z-открытки, вся прибыль с которых должна была идти в ТЫЛ-22. Мы отказались — открытки были плохо прорисованы. Дарья согласилась их доработать — и 27 марта вернулась с исправленными открытками. Мы взяли их на благотворительную продажу — 40 штук. 

На выходе из лавки Дарья сфоткала открытки на фоне Листвы и выложила в свой канал. Вчера вечером пост был удалён (скриншот восстановленного поста прилагаем). На днях Дарья спрашивала нас, нравятся ли людям её открытки, идут ли продажи. Затем все переписки с Дарьей исчезли — были стёрты с её стороны.

Теракт был очень тщательно подготовлен. Враги – среди нас. Будьте бдительны.

Все наши лавки будут внимательно исследованы на предмет уже заложенных бомб и жучков, а через пару дней на постоянную охрану Листвы заступят профи: на входе будет досмотр с металлодетектором. Мы не прекратим свою деятельность, не остановим мероприятия — так как именно этого и хочет наш враг. 

Организовать реальную защиту стоит средств, поэтому всех сочувствующих приглашаем подписаться на наш бусти и помогать нам: https://boosty.to/chernaya100

We help the investigation. Daria Trepova conducted reconnaissance in Moscow's Foliage, attended events, ingratiated herself with the help of charity z-cards, and ran a pseudo z-channel.

The killer didn’t just say before the terrorist attack that she was “from Foliage”, she really beat off the thresholds of the shop, but not St. Petersburg, but Moscow. Arriving in Listva on March 3, she introduced herself as Nastya (also called her in the Cyberfront and Vladlen). She behaved actively, took pictures from different angles, talked with the seller, showed off her z-channel to him. I leafed through Tatarsky's books for a long time, bought two shoppers, touched the blouses.

About the channel. https://t.me/oskolki22. The channel was created in 2021, but it becomes z-patriotic only in December 2022. From that moment on, tight posts in support of CBO, reposts from Listva appear on it. Probably, it was then that Daria began to actively prepare for a terrorist attack.

Daria also offered us z-cards, all the profit from which was supposed to go to TIL-22. We refused - the postcards were poorly drawn. Daria agreed to finalize them - and on March 27 she returned with corrected postcards. We took them for a charity sale - 40 pieces.

At the exit from the shop, Daria took a picture of the postcards against the background of Foliage and posted it on her channel. The post was deleted last night (a screenshot of the restored post is attached). The other day Daria asked us if people like her postcards, if they are selling. Then all correspondence with Daria disappeared - they were erased from her side.

The attack was very carefully prepared. Enemies are among us. Be carefull.

All our shops will be carefully examined for bombs and bugs that have already been planted, and in a couple of days the pros will take over the constant protection of Leaf: there will be an inspection with a metal detector at the entrance. We will not stop our activities, we will not stop activities - because this is exactly what our enemy wants.

It costs money to organize real protection, so we invite all sympathizers to subscribe to our boost and help us: https://boosty.to/chernaya100

US Air Force to allow obese recruits – media


The military branch has reportedly raised its body fat limits for new enlistees amid struggles to meet recruiting quotas

 

The US Air Force has reportedly opted to help ease its recruiting struggles by allowing fatter Americans to join the military branch, making potentially millions of obese young people eligible to enlist.

Under the new guidelines, male recruits will be allowed to carry up to 26% body fat, while females will have a limit of 36% body fat, Military.comreported on Tuesday, citing US Air Force Recruiting Service spokeswoman Leslie Brown. The previous limits were 20% for males and 28% for females.

“I can’t stress enough, we are not lowering our standards,” Brown said. Rather, the Air Force is “aligning” its rules with a Pentagon directive issued last year. That policy document required that all service members maintain a level of fitness and body composition to successfully perform all of their duties.

The American Council on Exercise classifies men with body fat percentages of 25 and higher as obese. The obese category begins at 32% for women. Allowing obese recruits will open up the Air Force to a huge pool of potential enlistees. An estimated 39.8% of Americans ages 20 to 39 are obese, according to the US Centers for Disease Control.

The US Army and Navy have tried to help address their recruiting woes by offering physical fitness preparatory courses – called pre-boot camp in the Army’s case – to give prospects who exceed body fat limits a chance to get in good enough shape to enlist.

The Air Force has estimated that it will be able to recruit an additional 50 to 100 new enlistees each month under its revised body fat limits. The new hires will later need to pass standard fitness tests, including a requirement for waist-to-height ratio, to stay in the Air Force.

Of the 34 million Americans in Generation Z – those born after 1997 – nearly 71%, are ineligible for military service, most commonly because of obesity, according to 2017 Pentagon data. Other common disqualifying factors include medical conditions, criminal records, drug use and failure to earn a high school diploma.

The Air Force has estimated that it will miss its recruiting goal for this year by around 10%, even after taking various steps to attract more enlistees. For instance, it eased rules to allow recruits with neck and hand tattoos, and it launched a program to give those who test positive for THC a chance to retest. Recruiting bonuses include up to $65,000 in student loan repayment.

recruitment UK.....

The British military could review its recruitment policies to allow it to access a wider pool of people, including those suffering from certain neurological conditions, MP Andrew Murrison has told the Financial Times.

Murrison, who serves as parliamentary under-secretary of state for defence people, veterans and service families, argued that this would help provide the armed forces with skilled professionals amid chronic staffing shortages.

In an interview with the FT published on Wednesday, Murrison explained that “there are pinch points where things are quite serious,” adding that the UK military should adopt a more “flexible” approach toward hiring new personnel. The MP stated that with the armed forces placing increasing emphasis on cyberwarfare, it should start “casting the net more widely” to hire “neurodiverse” people.

According to Murrison, while personnel with dyslexia and dyspraxia are already serving in the British military, the door should now be open to candidates with autism, Asperger’s, and ADHD. These people may possess skills and attributes which others don’t, the lawmaker argued.
