... 2019: Note that JFK might have been assassinated because he was not following "the game plan"(see by now you should know the secret service killed JFK...). Meanwhile, Trump got elected because he "was not going to follow the game plan", but this was a ruse for the GOP to regain control of the Greater Game which Obama was mucking up by being a timid gambler in it. The game plan is back on track...

THE GAME PLAN....

Hillary was too compromised. Trump was "for America" whatever this meant then... Now we know: the Game Plan. Make America Great Again...

A pack of self-styled conservatives this week piled on after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released a mournful, humane statement on the reality of nuclear war. Her brief video speaks powerfully for itself. But I feel compelled to respond to her detractors, if only to smack down the poisonous self-confidence of the many war promoters who have insinuated themselves into the political right.

Opposing the atomic bombings of Japan is a great conservative tradition.

After more than four years, the Information Commissioner has compelled the Defence Dept. to hand over information sought about expert advice on Australia’s Naval shipbuilding program. Rex Patrick reports.

In the FOI review decision, the Information Commissioner issued a scathing rebuke of Defence secrecy, saying,

“… the assertion made by the Department that disclosure of the relevant material would undermine the willingness of individuals to serve on the panel and provide full and frank advice 

does not appear to be supported by cogent reasoning or evidence.

Ouch!

Later the ruling class became even more sophisticated at channelling, diverting and destroying social and political opposition. They played hard cop and soft cop repression and bullying where necessary, but cooption tactics could be cheaper and more effective.

One ploy increasingly used by university administrations was to accede to demands for student participation, without relinquishing any real control. Some student activists were bought off by such cooption.

EXTRACT FROM "RESISTANCE" BY JOHN PERCY....

US President Donald Trump has revealed that his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, wished him a happy birthday during a phone conversation on Saturday.

Shortly after the phone call, the US president took to his Truth Social to provide details.

“President Putin called this morning to very nicely wish me a Happy Birthday, but to more importantly, talk about Iran, a country he knows very well. We talked at length,” Trump, who turned 79 on Saturday, wrote.

The two presidents spent “much less time” discussing the Ukraine conflict, he noted, adding that the topic “will be for next week.” “The call lasted approximately one hour. He feels, as do I, this war in Israel-Iran should end, to which I explained, his war should also end,” Trump wrote.

Israel has the right to defend itself, Foreign Minister Penny Wong says, but she has dodged questions over whether its surprise bombardment of Iran is a breach of international law.

Seeking to hamper Iran's attempts to develop military-grade nuclear capability, Israel struck military facilities, nuclear scientists, a major gas facility that exports internationally and other targets in a two-day barrage that Iran says has killed 78 people.

Iran retaliated with missile launches of its own that killed at least three people in Israel, with the US helping to shoot down a number of incoming missiles.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened Iran to expect worse to come.

CNN — President Donald Trump praised the United States Army as the “greatest, fiercest and bravest fighting force” at the conclusion of a grand display of military might in the nation’s capital Saturday as the Army celebrated its 250th birthday with a parade.

Real, vibrant, resilient health—begins not in the pharmacy, but in the soil beneath our feet. Central to our health is a diet derived from a diverse range of life forms, whether these are plants, animals, fungi, algae or other microorganisms, that have been nurtured by sunlight and rich, organic soils or natural, uncontaminated waters.

The Sixth Mass Extinction: Can You Survive It?

By Rob Verkerk PhD, Melissa Smith and Meleni Aldridge 

As agricultural systems become ever more industrialised, plant foods are grown increasingly in sterile hydroponic media, and more ingredients, often bioengineered, are generated in bioreactors, we need to ask ourselves what kind of impacts such ‘high tech’ foods will have on our human health.

Joe Rogan likes to hunt and cook his own food. He shoots with a crossbow – Elk, with their wild screams, are his favourite prey – then barbecues the meat and serves it thinly cut, with cheese and jalapenos. He uses weed and psychedelics, reads Hunter S. Thompson, and dabbles in stand-up comedy. He’s a mixed martial arts expert, and nurtures his hard, nuggety physique with gruelling workouts and experimental supplements.

Joe Rogan’s message can be rambling and unpolished, yet men idolise him. This might be why

His creed, as he once put it, is to embrace something that’s terrifying, “that most people shy away from, and you can succeed in life”.

The US gave Iran “chance after chance to make a deal” over its nuclear program, US President Donald Trump has stated, suggesting that the Israeli airstrikes against the Islamic Republic are the result of its own recalcitrance. He called on Tehran to agree to Washington’s terms “before it is too late.”

The Israeli military conducted a series of airstrikes on numerous targets across Iran early on Friday, including military and nuclear sites. The Iranian authorities have confirmed that the attacks killed Major General Hossein Salami, the commander of Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and Major General Mohammad Bagheri, the chief of staff of the Iranian Armed Forces. Several media outlets have claimed that several other high-ranking Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists also perished.

As US President Donald Trump gears up for the first major military parade in the US in decades, protesters are planning "No Kings" events all over the country on Saturday.

Tue 3 Oct 2023/ Five years ago, Jamal Khashoggi walked into Saudi Arabia’s consulate in Istanbul to pick up a document he needed in order to marry his Turkish fiancee. The journalist never walked out. Inside the consulate, he was ambushed by a 15-member Saudi hit team, who suffocated him and dismembered his body with a bone saw. The death squad then slipped out of Turkey on two charter planes owned by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund.
