Long to do list, interesting as usual.
It is easy to fall in love with the country that speaks the language you study as second, or third, or.. something like Stockholm syndrome. Let’s see who goes first, Merkel has called elections for late next year, Putin we do not know, but they must know each other really well -both speak the other’s language-, there is no chemistry between them, their relation is a dead end.
The vaccine, for the time being I’m not aware of having a choice, as far as I know the Russian and Chinese ones have not been approved in Europe, not only that, Hungary is having problems trying to distribute SputnikV. Big pharma is watching, the stakes are enormous but fortunately for the world at large monopoly for the Covid 19 vaccine is gone up in smoke.

One more thing that I think may be of interest to you, Maradona has passed away. I’m not a pro sports fan, but I used to play soccer as a child, the way it is played by billions, with a rag ball, or half an orange or anything that could be kicked out in the street with the other guys. A true hero Maradona, a demigod like Achilles with a vulnerable spot that made him mortal.
A hero of the left, his excesses were the complement of a true legend. His performance in Mexico against England, with the Malvinas War of recent memory was a sublimating experience for Argentina and the world at large, well, the world minus the anglo empires. He placed himself beyond good and evil, with a tricky and illegal goal that would have been shameful if it would not have been completed with what many consider to be the best goal in the history of football, -soccer for you guys, but the rest of the world calls it football-. Rest in peace a Latin American legend.

Sometimes you agree whole-heartedly with what I write. Sometimes you attack what I write.
With Trump, I’ve said that the Deep State may find it useful for him to win a second term (due to the MAGA! patriotism of his followers) and I’ve warned that that would portend war. In fact I’ve written a comment in the previous thread that provides a scenario where an attack on Iran might happen after Trump is elected.
So I’m following the machinations of the Trump legal team, not because I support Trump, but because of my concern for the perils that may await for us in a second Trump term.
War might also happen if Biden is President. But major wars are generally fought by Republicans. Simply because the Republican Party lays claim to a blind patriotism that Democrats generally avoid.

Trump hater or Trump lover one should be concerned about our voting systems. This is not a political party issue.
Remember the two plus hour pregnant pause in 2016 when the counting stopped and the networks froze in place without announcing a winner? I heard back then there was a massive battle behind the scenes to block the vote upload from outside the country. Unconfirmed but interesting. It was CIA vs. DIA
Voting Machine Company Co-Founder Killed in Small Plane Crash in Caracas
Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States of the acquisition of Sequoia Voting Systems by Smartmatic, a foreign-owned company
Even CNN Reported
The Democrats were worried
There are numerous articles going back decades on this stuff up until about two months before the election by all the major networks and newspapers. Everything got very quiet two months prior to the election.
Dominions manual says they have a remote access feature and they are connected to the internet despite their lies in front of Congress in January 2020 saying they did not. Their tabulators can be accessed remotely using Webx and other custom applications.
Unfortunately I have the manual in PDF and the link is not available. I find it interesting that their older manuals have blacked out portions just like a FOIA document release. Look for Dominion Democracy suite manuals 4.4 and 5.5 and up.
Look at the black box voting website and a gentleman on a voting commission built a simple application that runs in the background and switches vote fractionally across all voting company platforms as the software was all built on the same foundation application from Venezuela.
https://blackboxvoting.org/
The video is called fractional magic.
Evidence of fraud? It is massive and everywhere. We need to get back to paper ballots and same day voting with absentee ballots given on request with a legitimate excuse for not showing up on election day. Signature verification and sign in to vote. Voting locations in every precinct not a few locations per county. That is how it used to work. That would be cheaper than 100 million dollar mega systems connected to the internet with remote access.

I had already posted on the “pandemic freedom” that mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna), albeit theoretically sound, also have carcinogenic properties. They also carry infertility risks (see Dmitriev’s “forbidden op-ed” and his “questions” on Sputniknews). There is no current mRNA vaccine that works, let alone on the market; it is a completely new, untested technology, and the USG has already given all of its pharmaceuticals preventive legal immunity.
AstraZeneca’s chimpanzee adenovirus vaccine may cause severe and permanent neuropathy (transverse myelitis) as the trials have already shown.
Sputnik V and Sinovac both use human adenoviruses (the first uses two, the second only one). Human adenovirus is the tried and tested technology for modern vaccines. Sputnik V appears to be the best here, because it uses two human adenoviruses, which doubles the duration of the immunity, but it requires two doses instead of one (one for each adenovirus).

I totally differ from your view of deep state. Deep manipulation of elections is hard to achieve, at least in USA, and TOTALLY UNPRODUCTIVE. The real work is to make results irrelevant. The question arises: what this real work is? We see the tip of the iceberg: above the surface, folks toil in think tanks, traverse revolving door like in Macy’s in good old days, lobbyists fill hotels in DC (great deals on weekends when they go home) and write the laws, while the less prestigious lobbyist do the same in states etc. and so on. In USA we get two party lines and bipartisan consensus. But as we know from physics, 90% is under the surface. What do they do there?
Close to the surface, they orchestrate the activity on the surface as we know from the mishap at Integrity Initiative. Somewhat deeper the activity is steady, salaries are stable and good, plenty of opportunities for extra income, so no leaks. But in countries where the system is not fully instituted and contested we have some insights. Because of the languages I know, Polish and Russian, I can follow what happens in Ukraine.
For the last six years, the main issue is “anti-corruption infrastructure”, several outfits with leadership carefully screens by international “partners” that collect data about possible corruption and — VERY RARELY — actually prosecute someone. Invariably that someone would be in crosshairs for political reasons. Needless to say, actual corruption is hardly affected, but if you are some official or parliamentary deputy that gets wrong ideas, bam! What is interesting that the pressure to have exactly the institutions packed by “grantozhery” screened by “western partners” comes in the perfect, multilateralist fashion, Canadians seem to be particularly active, but in actuality, it is a chorus, “concert of democracies” if I can borrow from Anne-Marie Slaughter. Why the heck the Dutch, Canadians, Americans etc. think exactly the same, care about supervision of “corruption investigation” and not at all about actual decreases in corruption?
Back to the western hemisphere. Investigative units collect data on ALL bank transfers, and occasionally, they make big cases. Several banks, mostly European, were slapped with big fines (billion plus). But the flows of dirty money is immense, and “unnoticed”.
Yet deeper, we can organize legal traps on people who cannot fall under “money laundering” etc., say, sex scandals.
Yet deeper, gun running, black flags etc.
These are just things that we know about from various glimpses.

TrumpCo recalcitrance has derailed negotiations on the levy of a digital tax, so France has decided to implement its own levy:
“France and many other European countries are taking action after intense public pressure to make US multinationals pay a larger share of their revenues in taxes in the countries where they operate.
“Under EU law, companies in the US can declare profits from across the bloc in a single member state – and most pick low-tax jurisdictions such as Ireland or the Netherlands.”
Given total revenues of the affected companies, the amount of the tax won’t be much. Curious that only Outlaw US Empire-based companies are noted. One of the great plusses doing online shopping is that no sales taxes are applied, at least here within the Empire. That has put a big dent in the ability of some states to generate revenue for their budgets. As digital commerce escalates, I expect sales taxation will eventually follow; so, enjoy it while you can.

I’m starting to revise my opinion on the Astro-Zeneca vaccine. Of course any favourable decision would depend entirely on a much more comprehensive next round of testing. The last batch of tests which is getting hammered in the media by shills for the far more expensive to buy, manufacture and distribute mRNA vaccines, was only tested on subjects aged 55 and younger which is below the range of the most probable initial users.
Asta-Zeneca still maintain that the one case of multiple sclerosis that occurred in a test subject was due to an unrelated cause something which could be true given that MS normally takes years to reach the point where it is diagnosable that doesn’t preclude the vac tech of having some fast track ability of course.
All in all though if the next round is better documented & peer reviewed and comes out OK, it may be a viable option in countries where Sputnik V is unavailable.
The fact that big pharma his so determined to stop it, chiefly because it only costs about $3 at point of vaccination & can be stored in a domestic refrigerator ie doesn’t require liquid nitrogen temperatures which will add a huge amount the the retail cost of the mRNA vaccines – just imagine the room for profiteering right there, means that should the astra zeneca vaccine pass testing it is a viable option for unwealthy communities which for whatever political reason cannot access Russian & Chinese vaccines.
The fact that both the guardian & the NY Times have spent the last few days sledging the astra zeneca option is what has made be think twice about it. If they hate it, surely it can’t be bad ai!

vk @51–
Thanks for your many postings on the various vaccines!! My Mother-in-law has Neuropathy, and it’s not something you want to be afflicted with. As to what’s been described as testing of the US-based chemical blends labeled as potential vaccines, I don’t trust them whatsoever. The Russians and Chinese have actually created vaccines through the usual course of multiple trials that are considered safe and effective–their only “problem” being of Russian or Chinese origin. My personal situation is such that I can wait and see, which is what I intend to do. I just need to be very careful when handling frozen foods and cryovaced bulk meats since they’re processed in facilities known to have outbreaks and the virus seems to like it rather cold.

here is a quote from the transcript..
“We have Francisco Sagasti as our president now. He is an engineer and philosopher, an expert in scientific and technological development. He served in the World Bank, in different branches of government in Peru, mostly linked to science and technology. He is a very well-mannered man and he knows how to establish dialogue. And so, he was accepted by most of the Congress in order to make the country governable. So, we have him in power now. The president of Congress is a lawyer and an activist for peasants’ rights confronting mining companies. She has won twice against the Buenaventura mining company defending people who are resisting selling their land to big mining projects. And she’s a human rights activist, and from the left. She’s the president of Congress now. And that’s where we are. [Laughs.]

“….Nearly forty years after the restoration of democracy in 1982, Bolivia’s government established the Comisión de la Verdad, the Truth Commission. Its goal was to investigate human rights abuses, extrajudicial killings, kidnappings, and other crimes perpetrated by the various military and military-aligned governments that ruled the country from 1964 to 1982.
The Truth Commission was a successor to the National Commission for the Investigation of Forced Disappearances, formed after the dictatorships’ end. It was ineffective in actually performing investigations, let alone prosecuting or publicly denouncing those who participated in such crimes. That these efforts bore little fruit doesn’t bode well for justice after the latest coup.
The histories of other Latin American countries that emerged from military dictatorships show similar problems…..”

The vaccine candidate from Johnson & Johnson uses human adenovirus, specifically Ad26. This is the same vector I believe that is used by the Chinese and Russian vaccines with Sputnik V have an additional vector. So if you can’t get the Russian or Chinese vaccine for political reasons you can get this one instead.

I haven’t read all the details of the lawsuits filed by Sidney Powell but ZH has a story up and the quote below seemed out of character with the rest of the claims.
The ZH quote
”
The complaint cited a former electronic intelligence analyst under the 305th Military Intelligence Battalion, who declared that the Dominion software was accessed by agents acting on behalf of China and Iran to monitor and manipulate elections, including the 2020 U.S. general election.
Another part of the complaint said that a former U.S. Military Intelligence expert had analyzed the Dominion software system and concluded that the system and software “were certainly compromised by rogue actors, such as Iran and China.”
“By using servers and employees connected with rogue actors and hostile foreign influences combined with numerous easily discoverable leaked credentials, Dominion neglectfully allowed foreign adversaries to access data and intentionally provided access to their infrastructure in order to monitor and manipulate elections, including the most recent one in 2020,” the filing said.
”
I have worked in the techie world since 1969 and believe that the current un-auditable voting machines and associated process are corrupt because so much is at stake. The simple fact that the voting systems are not auditable tells one all they need to know about the motivations behind the process. The projections of these techie manipulations onto other countries is reflective of America’s current banana republic status.

A pity so many especially VK ignored what I wrote about the fact that the pushback against astra-zeneca including the latest link which is all speculation mixed with the same trash talk wall st analysts have been making, is a blatant move by big pharma to edge astra-zeneca out of the market.
There is more testing to be done on the astra-zeneca vaccine. Yes the discovery of a half dose followed by a full dose seeming to be more efficacious was the result of a distribution accident in one particular cohort comprised of englanders under 55, astra-zeneca have realised that and have undertaken to extend the 50/100 trial across all age groups and ethnicities in the next testing round.
Also despite the fact that the big pharma mRNA vaccines have published no peer reviewed results, astra zeneca report that they have sent a peer reviewed study of their complete test results thus far, to the lancet and they expect these to be published in the next edition of the journal – likely within the next few days.
However many people whine, bitch about all others, then salute the results of Russian & Chinese vaccines the simple fact is a great many communities will be denied access to Russian or Chinese vaccines – that is a reality. Some of these states are in no shape to subscribe to the mRNA vaccines without ‘aid’ (I.E. ripoff loans) because their health budgets are still having to cover the double tamiflu scam (they had to sign contracts to replace ‘expired’ tamiflu stocks used or not after 3 years) and the more recent remdesivir scam, all perpetrated by Gilead.
In the real world that means if the astra-zeneca vaccine is more than 60% efficacious (which is better than any flu vaccine – 95% is new big pharma BS IMO) and has no major side effects (one case of MS tells us nothing for the reason I outlined above), then it will be that or nothing for a sizeable slab of the world’s population.
If everyone falls for big pharma’s transparent attempt to stop this possible vaccine in its tracks, prior to testing completion, then that will mean no vaccine for billions of our fellow humans, so rather than joining in the big pharma sabotage, it makes better sense to consider that vaccine more objectively than de Noli, that Harvard minion of corporations seems to do.
Of course for some theoretical marxist whose crazed ramblings remind me of the immature garbage one could hear around any Lisbon praça, circa 1975, that will mean little. As the humans of Mozambique, Angola and in particular since I lost friends there , Timor Leste, discovered to their cost.

psychohistorian @Nov27 1:15 #67

I haven’t read all the details of the lawsuits filed by Sidney Powell but …

Trump allegations of fraudulent election are difficult to parse. IMO Trump must have gotten the nod from the Deep State to have even won the Republican nomination in 2016. And oligarchs like Trump are generally very risk adverse – if the Deep State really wants Biden to win then Trump is unlikely to stand against that (Schumer wasn’t kidding about “they have six ways from Sunday” to get back at you).
Then there’s Biden who, as “President Elect” is showing the public that he will do all the terrible things that Trump warned he would: raise taxes, open borders, warmongering, etc. And that comes after four years of Democrat pretended ‘resistance’ to Trump that is most notable for the failed attempts to remove Trump based on bullshit (Russiagate, impeachment).
So I’m inclined to believe that it’s very possible that Trump pulls out a win. Not because Trump wants it, but because the Deep State wants to use Trump as their MAGA! tool to collar the dragon and any other ‘monsters’ that threaten their NWO.
I think a Trump win makes it quite a bit easier for the Deep State to start and conduct a war. Could they do any better than a second-term President that has “made peace” (not really) with North Korea and in Middle East, and who champions “America First” patriotism?
Trump supporters will chuckle at “the bunny’s TDS” but recent history shows us that Republicans do major wars and Democrats do smaller or covert wars.
From the very start, MAGA! has been all about drumming up the patriotic enthusiasm that makes war possible. It’s why Kissinger recommended MAGA! in 2014 as a means of responding to the Russia-China Alliance.

And I don’t think it is at all reasonable of you to smear VK as a “crazed Marxist” especially when you describe a situation where one capitalist entity is trying to squeeze another out of the market.
Astra-Zeneca is just as must “Big Pharma” as Pfizer and Moderna, and the primary concern of all these “Big Pharma” companies is profit, not public health. All the vaccines have been rushed to market with inadequate testing (particularly with regard to the medium and long term effects) so I wouldn’t be in too much of a rush to dose yourself up.

Clearly, Neoliberalism in the land of its birth is an abject failure just as it is in the land is was transplanted into, the Outlaw US Empire.

Quite the contrary. It’s been a stunning success. It did what it was designed to do. Impoverished the middle(especially) and the lower classes and funnelled all the profits to the elite.
The plan has always been to destroy the middle classes.
“What if a small group of world leaders were to conclude that the principal risk to the Earth comes from the actions of the rich countries? And if the world is to survive, those rich countries would have to sign an agreement reducing their impact on the environment. Will they do it? The group’s conclusion is ‘no’. The rich countries won’t do it. They won’t change. So, in order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?”

Any ideas how Bolivia can do it and do it right this time?

Since October revolution of 1917, there is a successful recipe how to fight counterrevolution. This recipe was adopted by Cuba, Iran, Venezuela among others and have proven to be the right one. Organize workers and peasants and give them weapon to defend their own government, clean up judiciary, police and military, confiscate the property of landlords and share it among the people who cultivate the land, nationalize key industry and foreign trade.
The news about arrest orders against some top military and officials of Coup d’Etat regime are good news in this regard. CIA not able to do much harm when people stand strong and united to defend their interests.
Truth commissions are social-democrat approach to conserve and protect part of the old structures while popular movement on march. They are not going to bring a real change.
In another comment it was asked about DDN news site, well look at the people behind it, mostly left social-democrats, Corbyns and Varufakises. For the system good to have such people during developing crisis, but as the situation come under control, they are retired and give back the power to the elite. Bolivia doesn’t need such people and their way of solving fundamental economical, political and social contradictions.

Framarz @ 93.. right on.. and I would add to that that placing the producers and directors and providers of fake content aired in public media in jail to fatten them for shark feeding bonanza days helps.
https://www.bradblog.com/?p=5947 <=d/n work .. on many browsers.. browsers are like RDCLHFET (Remote dynamically controlled locally hosted field effect transistors) they can be reprogrammed on the fly from the home of the browser provider or from an intermediary, or from blacklist maintained on the local machine, much like a modern voting machine. .. It looks to me like the shinny metallic substance called chrome is often present when the dynamic part of the access control comes into play. Browser events of this type seem to happen most often when a user of a local RDCLH browser seeks to view the content of a url which the PTB deem to be too revealing for the eyes of the local Browser user. The chrome assisted RDCLH Browsers may still deny the local user view on the local monitor access to the content of the file downloaded from the URL? What part does chrome metal play in browser selection of content types the browser can render to the user's monitor? Or, better what how does the metal assist the browser in its selection processes?

If someone would ask me to point at real signs of ZioImperialists decreasing global hegemony, I would answer:
– shooting down of the US Global Hawk drone in Persian Gulf
– missile attack against US base Eyn al Asad in Irak
– recapturing the power from the junta in Bolivia
– signing of RCEP by 15 countries in SE Asia and Australia
is the daily MSM campaign and the global debating clubs about and around the pandemic to be considered one of these signs?
