Thanks for that even though it is sad news.
Another political distraction during the (s)election process…actually I think it may get more Dems out to vote.
What are the odds that the R’s fill the spot before the end of this presidential term?
@ karlof1 with all the links and feeling lonely….I just finished slicing up 4+ trays of cherry tomatoes for dehydrating and had to get out for a walk today after being penned up for a week and a half….
I think the only response that China/Russia have is to continue slicing the responses thinner and thinner until the West has no more room to maneuver and it collapses….I think we may be close.
Trump has signed an executive order saying US folks can’t download the WeChat and TikTok apps after Sunday for WeChat and TikTok depends on negotiations….I expect the sign up for WeChat to skyrocket between now and through Sunday…what a circus

The accumulation of knowledge since the accumulation of things is essentially hoarding
A true enlightment POV. But the main war by the powers that be, although undeclared unlike the stupid wars against tactics or drugs, is the war against knowledge, with the media as its best ally.
Seе if you can get in english the briefing fron Rudskoy, he lays all responsability for possible consecuences of the tense situation in the Black and Baltic seas to the outlaw US empire and its NATO allies.

| This weekend saw the loss of two voices the U.S. could ill afford to lose: Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Steven F. Cohen; their like cannot be found on the nation’s horizon. Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg gave that court a precarious balance not provided by rabid ideologues and is unlikely to be replaced. Steven Cohen provided a scholarly and balanced perspective on Russia, its history and developments in the modern world and a valuable insight into Russian perspectives on world affairs, without ideological contamination, a rare accomplishment given Cohen’s native country. Both should be mourned for the loss they represent and celebrated for their high accomplishments. Both achieved balance in their fields against the flow of social conformity, the value of which will become highly prized as events unfold.

New York Times says China sends warning and ends the piece by referencing the “hawkish” Global Times.
This spin by minions of Cabal didn’t go down well in South China Sea with the hawkish minions of Cabal with Chinese Characteristics. So out they came out with it’s not a warning. it’s a rehearsal for takeover.

Thanks for the reply. Although both died from their cancers, both their statures illuminated raging public cancers ravaging the nation. One measured the failure of public education to produce competent ethical scholarship and what that implies, the other the yardstick of the fatal decline in the country’s judicial/legal system to provide justice for any (some observations have even double and triple millionaires can no longer afford to access court for redress – one needs an annual income of that magnitude apparently). Once those systems cease to function adequately and the ability to self correct disappears, there is only a single ultimate outcome – the fall of empire in this case. Invest in popcorn, the circus is about to start final acts.

Well, here it is the link to the MI6…Acording to Daniel Estulin, this fellow from the London School of Economics, who resdies most time in London is the main suspect of posioning Navalny…Indeed it looks like that…She definitely does not have neither the face nor definitely the eyes of passing her most hours of her life reading thousands of documents seraching for corruption in Russia…That face and eyes look quite fresh and not like those acustomed to long time reading….
Interview by BBC with María Pevchikh, the person who was the one who organized the search in the hotel room where Navalny stayed in Tomsk and the only one who traveled in the special flight to Germany along with Navalny and his wife…
She asures they use to track flights where Navalny is travelling through an employee of the FBK…Recall that just when the flight was about to land in Omsk there was a bomb call…so that to avoid the landing….Any judge would find the issue quite suspicious…This element is to the Navalny case like the other one who had lunch at that pub with Sergei and Juliya Skripal…
Here the interview…in Russian, Translate with a translator….

What part of “Feminism, LGBT and other identity politics …” is illegal, immoral or fattening? That is your opinion. End of discussion.

Stephen Cohen and now Andre Vitchek, gone from us. Vitchek was not that old, 57. He died in Turkey this morning. Argh. Why don’t some of the criminals suddenly leave us?
