One interesting theory appearing about Kazakhstan and the events there; That it is these opening moves that have allowed the Nazabarev Clan to be evicted in favour of Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. That this is Judo taken to political extremes. (Guess by whom). Opposed to a more Syria style than Maidan for the regime changers..
Ie. The Us’ists start by a violent “revolution” relying on imported pre-disposed caches of arms, the Nazabarev clan flee, leaving a Pro-Russia Gov. in charge. (Tokayev) Using that as an argument to call on the CSTO for immediate action. (Which will be limited to protecting the various useful points and industries, while leaving the direct control over rioters to the local forces.)
Note that the first Special forces have already arrived (from Belarus ).
ie. The US’ists are exposed, the Gov. has been changed, “all” that is left is to bring calm back. Which will depend on the original rioters not being able to increase their numbers of active participants through the media and self-victimisation. Cut off “social media and the TV”, -Isolate and eliminate, is still possible.

Ps. I have written away for the three day course on “How to be a Kazakhstan expert. (Contains a map and other useful information for debutants)“, but they have become very hard to find because of sudden demand from the MSM. So Please take the above comments as “opinion”.

PPS. Please continue Karlof1, as the extracts you post not only are useful – they are selective, which I deeply appreciate.

Course is given by Borat Sagdiyev? If so you are likely to be well versed in how Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, or something like that. Maybe the remake will have Borat sweating it out in what passes for a Lubyanka prison these days, where in the times of Stalin it was said (might have been Karl Radek) from the basement one had a view of Siberia, and the steppes of Kazakhstan as well.
Maybe you will have presentations like this.

Thank you S. Very interesting info.
“Rioters gathering again at the Republic Square“. Shades of Maidan, but it can also act as a magnet to attract small groups of looters and lost rioters to return to the centre. Where they can be picked up?

Are the criminals investigating themselves? Again.
re: Jan 6th riot
The FBI knew well ahead of time – days and weeks – about the planned Jan 6th protests.
The leader the Proud Boys was a prolific informant for the FBI.
If the leader of the Proud Boys knew about a planned Jan 6th demonstration at the Capitol Building
then so did the FBI.
The criminals are investigating themselves again.

S @214 Thank you for the play by play. I wish I’d seen something like this with intelligent commentary during Ukraine, but I hadn’t discovered MoA yet. This part really stuck out to me.

Rioters surround Hospital 1 and Hospital 7 and prevent staff and patients from entering

It doesn’t make a lot of sense for a grassroots revolution to block hospitals since there’s great potential for blowback ranging from the obvious lack of medical care for themselves to undermining support in the local populace by crossing a line.
However, this has been the modus operandi for western powers. The US used this questionable “strategy” at Fallujah and Israel did the same last year in Gaza.

Petition to revoke Tony Blair’s knighthood hits 1 million signatures
2002/2003 36 million people across the globe, 1.5 million in UK took part in protests against the Iraq war.
They were ignored.
2016 The Chilcot Report and Blair expressed “sorrow, regret and apology” for plans
that resulted in over a million (Non UK) Deaths. No resurrections.
2022 Blair awarded a knighthood, continuing the tradition of Jimmy Saville etc,
and demonstrating the utter depravity of an ‘Establishment’ no longer fit for purpose.
1 million signatures?? Not even a blip on the Establishment radar

I saw this on Thursday and it struck me as peculiar. I’ve come back to it today, and on re-reading it stinks to hell.
This is an excellent example of how the dictatorship maintains discipline.
Bear with me:

Ex-peer sexually assaulted boy and attempted to rape girl – UK court
Former Labour politician Nazir Ahmed has been convicted of offenses committed almost 50 years ago
A court in the UK has found Nazir Ahmed guilty of the serious sexual assault of a boy and the attempted rape of a girl, both aged under 13, in offenses dating back to the 1970s.
The Pakistan-born politician was a teenager himself at the time of the offenses, Sheffield Crown Court heard. The prosecutor said that, while Ahmed had claimed all along that the allegations were a “malicious fiction,” a phone recording of a conversation between his two victims back in 2016 proved beyond reasonable doubt that the story had not been “made up or concocted.”
A woman who was party to that conversation recounted before the jury how Ahmed had attempted to rape her in the early 1970s.
The head of the Special Crime Division of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), Rosemary Ainslie, praised the guilty verdict as proof that “where there is sufficient evidence, even in challenging cases, the CPS will bring a prosecution, put evidence before a jury and see rightful convictions,” and even when, as in this case, the defendant had held a “position of power, influence and responsibility for some time in the House of Lords.”
Ahmed’s two brothers, Mohammed Farouq and Mohammed Tariq, were charged with the indecent assault of the same boy whom Ahmed had also abused, but deemed unfit to stand trial. The politician was bailed pending a sentencing hearing to be held on February 4.
Ahmed is no stranger to allegations of sexual misconduct. He was forced to resign from the House of Lords in November 2020, following a conduct committee report that accused him of sexually and emotionally exploiting a vulnerable woman who had sought his assistance.
Ahmed has the dubious distinction of being the first peer recommended for expulsion. He stepped down of his own accord, however, before his colleagues could remove him from his post. The scandal that led to his downfall at the time was brought to public attention by an investigation carried out by the BBC program ‘Newsnight’.

https://www.rt.com/news/545326-nazir-ahmed-sexual-assault/
Nothing like this has ever happened before to a peer. Never. And look at what we are told.
**Fifty years ago, and no corroboration. When he was a teenager (sixteen or younger)
**Set up by a sting, courtesy of our friends at the BBC, in 2020. They don’t *only* whitewash Mountbatten-Windsors.
**Isolated from his two brothers – “who were deemed unfit to stand trial”
The “slam dunk” evidence?

a phone recording of a conversation between his two victims back in 2016 proved beyond reasonable doubt that the story had not been “made up or concocted.”

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.
It’s another variation on the “reverse sting” theme.
It’s Jeffrey Archer and Ted Francis circa 1999 all over again.
“I asked my friend to lie”
The other thing it calls to mind is poor old Barry George.
Stitched up for the murder of Jill Dando.
On the basis of a spec of dust that means nothing, but went unchallenged by his celebrity “human rights champion” lawyer.
That was an Archer crime as well.
I digress. It’s clear this poor bastard has been well and truly Kippered by her maj.
Why?
So I looked him up. On wiki

Ahmed was created a life peer, Baron Ahmed, of Rotherham in the County of South Yorkshire, on 3 August 1998.

[16]
If you don’t know, Rotherham is/was the epicentre of the child sex abuse tidal wave that took place from 1997 to 2010.
The Labour Party will never recover from that betrayal that split the party asunder.
My guess is that Baron Ahmed was not very happy about the omertà within the Labour Party.
And that is why he got sent down for the very offence that he tried to expose.
It certainly has the Mountbatten-Windsor style of malevolence.

Does anyone have a clear answer?
Looking, thinking about, down the road…
If Omnicron is followed by another variant,
one that matches or beats Omnicron’s ability to spread,
**but which is far more harmful to those infected with it***
what happens?
That is, are those that previously caught Omnicron
in a far, far better position than
those that have been relying on boosters?
Those that were given immunity by surviving Omnicron
will they **demand** that those without immunity – the
addicts of boosters – have, as Macron put it, their
“lives turned to hell”?
Reasoning: Those with natural Omnicron immunity are
less likely to spread the new variant than the booster addicts.
Thinking ahead.
These are questions. Non-troll feedback is appreciated.

B, why don’t you just fuck off and die. Your reporting on covid is, shall we say prostituting for big pharma and big government. How is you Nazi state this morning, getting ready to turn the unvaxed into the new untermensch and start the final solution. Got the yellow stars ready?
Those two would likely be alive if the government and big pharma wern’t restricting treatments instead of relying on gene therapy. Where is your reporting on people who have died because of taking the vaccine? Cheap shot Bernard.

Speaking of Dark Horse, the latest podcast is up, and I see from the first comments that Heather Heying has the Omicron right now.
So this will be a rich episode, as we learn the battle from the field itself.
These two people have been beyond priceless throughout the pandemic, as many people already know. Bret interviewed Dr Malone and McCullough, Steve Kirsch, and I believe Geert Vanden Bossche, all early in the game. And their minds, and discussions, are scientific method itself.
These are the Dark Horse videos. The latest ones were live tonight, and it usually takes them a day to get a linked index to topics in the notes under the video. So I can’t point anyone to anything. Wait a day for an index, or settle in now and watch the mystery unveil…

Second question about ivermectin use. It can increase the strength of other medications such as benzodiazepines and barbiturates (according to Medscape.com). A study done in 2018 found that more than one in eight American adults used benzodiazepines in the past year. (From psychiatry.org )
