” Having read “Confessions of an Economic Hitman” by Perkins, it became clear that non-forgiveness (actually usury) loans by those international lending establishments, i.e. The International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the Bank of International Settlements; could be considered as highly complicit in those nations who owe and owe and owe on those “friendly” development loans and aggravated compounding interest to the Bank$ter elite.

To passs @68, Latvia sought to keep out or send back those “from racial or ethnic minorities,” while “it welcomed 35000 refugees from Ukraine.” Amnesty gives example of brutality experienced by Iraqis trying to get in. Migrants’ bodies including genitals were frequently tasered for extended periods of time. Latvia has no comment, says information is “classified.” BBC report says Latvia declared “state of emergency” only for the purpose of keeping migrants out.

Nine Russian war correspondents and war correspondent projects risk being prosecuted for discrediting the Russian Armed Forces. They are Igor Strelkov, Semyon Pegov (WarGonzo), Yuri Podolyaka, Vladlen Tatarsky, Sergey Mardan, Igor Dimitriev, the authors of GreyZone, Rybar, and, suddenly, Kristina Potupchik. Content in their tg channels is already being analyzed for fakes, defamation, and other prohibited and punishable items.
According to our information, a request to Roskomnadzor to check the work of the above-mentioned authors has been signed personally by the Chief of the General Staff. On the part of the Prosecutor General’s Office, the case is being led by the head of the department for oversight of the execution of the law on federal security, terrorism, extremism, and inter-ethnic relations. The reason is criticism of the Defence Ministry and its decisions in the course of the SAO.
How long the probe will last is not yet known. But if the corpus delicti is established and the guilt is proven, the military correspondents will either be fined or sentenced to up to three years in prison.

This has been debunked as UK/NSA dis-information.

In any event there are folks who prefer the dark and delight in stirring things up.

Probably not. They operate at a particular frequency. Whereas the receiver design could be particularly broad in frequency and cover several (at least partially req’d for doppler), antennae design is typically frequency specific.
So it’s not likely they can function in military eavesdropping because that activity is at a different frequency.
________
I accept your thought regarding “probably not”. I am aware of some of the antenna design for the Starlink – silicon carbide waveguides if I recall – and not expected to burn up on reentry.
My thought though was that the platforms (license covers 42,000 last I read) in orbit represent a significant investment and with a few more antennae and maybe SDR, the ability to collect SIGINT to identify areas of interest could be such a compelling capability that it may be working or in the works.

I deal in hard evidence, facts and related documents. I’ve yet to see any credible document that provides the information you suggest. So, until you or someone else does, I’ll presume Vladimir Putin is first and foremost NOT an oligarch, nor rich in the sense that he gained his wealth through illegal, unjust, immoral activities similar to those engaged in by most Western politicos and perhaps even yourself.
As for historical statements, Putin’s is singular, which is why I juxtaposed his vow with Biden’s.

It’s doubtful that the Canuckistani military has total armed forces as large as 100,000. So what would they be doing with full sets of winter gear sufficient for half a million? Something simply doesn’t add up. It’s doubtful that even earlier in the Autumn when Ukraine started begging, that Canuckistani clothing manufacturers could have been turning out such a plethora of such specialized equipment.

Having never gotten into the sheep thing myself, though they do seem somewhat a favorite for a few Montana folk; my picture of that far northwest corner of Down Under has long been one of a very minuscule population relative to the land-base. So it does have some mineral resources even though hardly anyone cares to live there.
Can you come up with another bit of land where people can live, but few do? All those Talmudists, particularly the ones who tend towards the status of predatory parasites, do need their own Reservation some damned place. Seems like a bunch of them simply cannot integrate with other folks and very few of them actually care to be bothered with physical labor.

News to me on the 1939 concept in W.A. Just looked at a map and came to the realization that a people without a land needs a land without a people. That was the Zionist excuse for occupying Palestine and killing off and/or driving out the natives. Curious thing about all of that is that a Johns Hopkins DNA study of the Palestinian people revealed that their DNA is more than 80% derived from the Ancient Hebrews.

You are completely mislead about Lenin and Stalin, and partially wrong about Putin.
Putin may be a religiot, and he certainly has enabled the MI5/CIA infested church in Russia, but he is indubitably not a wealthy man, not even a well paid leader, certainly not an “oligarch” (See e.g. Reuters article and has never, to my knowledge, claimed to offer some unique knowledge or ability. Despite propaganda to the contrary, in the tradition of great leaders, Putin acts as a servant of and spokesperson for the elected government of the Federation.

Here we see why the French decided that being, “like a christer”, is synonymous with idiocy.

Cretin : Probably a doublet of chrétien (“Christian”), from Latin Christianus (from an Alpine French dialect crestin, undergoing some Franco-Provençal-like sound changes). Specifically, likely from a dialect in the Swiss/Alpine francophone region where there was once an endemic level of cretinism. It is also linked, somewhat euphemistically, to one of the older senses of the word, referring to any Christian man”

It is true that shifting gas exports from Europe to Asia isn’t as simple as pushing a button, yet, but so what?
Russian budget is expected to be at 2% deficit this year. If Russia’s budget deficit is a mere 2% while fighting a hot war – compared with larger deficits for European nations at the same time who are “at peace” – it seems Russia has more than enough capital and time to execute the transition.
Let us not forget either that Russia is also executing a gas pipeline buildout to India and a pipeline buildout plus gas field development to connect Iran to Asia.

True enough. I hadn’t read intermediate postings before responding to the original regarding those half-million kits of winter gear. Just the other day while dumpster diving, I obtained a backup pair of Sorel boots that should be a decent fit when my Irish Setters do not suffice for Northwoods Minnesota winter weather.
Though most Americans are quite numb when it comes to Canuckistani affairs; I do happen to be full well aware that I live north of approximately half of the Canuckistani population. Some years back, prior to explosive growth in places like Calgary and Vancouver; I definitely lived north of the full majority of Canuckistanis. Winnipeg, generally considered as the coldest city of any size on the planet, lies closer to my home than I am to the Twin Cities.

Russia can fortify positions in Kherson but they can’t change the fact that they can only retreat across a river with the bridges destroyed. And that is also the path their re-supply has to take. In retrospect they shouldn’t have taken that area. Not necessary to a land bridge to Crimea or getting supplies via Crimea.

I mean, for one, the very first criticism of VPP is that he was KGB. Period.the.end. Sure, he may have recenyly gotten religion, but how do you respond to the accusation that he’s the richest of all of Russias oligarchs? Every historically important leader makes/has made these types of positive, affirmative pronouncements and proclamations. It’s what they do. Posted by: B9k9 | Oct 14 2022 22:06 utc | 89
You’re not just a cynic, which is understandable; even my best friend is a cynic; I’m a cynic; but you’re reasoning has a serious flaw. There is a problem with your reasoning; you have insufficient, biased, and irrelevant evidence, and therefore a problem with your conclusion.
Just because YOU can’t think of another leader in history that doesn’t meet your criteria of a just or decent person doesn’t mean that they haven’t existed. They surely have. I can think of one, at least, at the top of my head that has.
Your argument is that all leaders are self serving evil manipulators (for-their-own-gain-people). Putin is a leader. Therefore, Putin is a self serving, evil manipulator. Substitute evil for cynical; either way.
But your argument doesn’t allow for people being people. What I mean is that people can be generally good, but they don’t have to be perfect to be good. By standards that most people consider good. Your argumentation doesn’t allow for people to arise that are generally considered by contemporaries, to have the best interests of fellow men, or at least their compatriots, at heart(generally considered good). Humans are imperfect, but for the most part, they are decent, and not evil, and want whats best for the bulk of their fellow beings (except for the truly awful 10% of human kind); even if it’s not out of pure altruism.
Your statements reek of “a pox on both of their houses” Line of thinking. Which is lazy thinking. And again fallacious argumentation. (as an aside and to get nerdy, your argument is post hoc ergo propter hoc, and it ignores the statements/speeches of Putin and his follow-on policies and directives)
Much better to examine Putin’s statements and argumentation, compare them to his actions and policies, and see if they are consistent. And if they are, which they are, to recognize that he’s a once in a lifetime, true and genuine world leader. They do occur, and you’re witnessing it.
So I’ll stand with Karlof1, and say that he’s not naive, but knowledgeable, percipient and cleverly analytical, and ultimately realistic. And what he stated above is evidence based analysis, and not biased based speculation.

There’s endless whining on the internet about how difficult it is to shift the Russian gas market from Europe to Asia but little acceptance of the reality that it will be done regardless.
And the whining comes from people living in those countries who no longer build massive infrastructure, unlike the Russians and Chinese.

The Americas. Early European explorers brought diseases with them that eliminated 95% of the population of around 100 million. So the colonists thanked their gods for the empty lands (and often for the buried grave goods which they looted, and which sometimes kept them alive).
“In 1617, just before the Pilgrims landed, the process started in southern New England. For decades, British and French fishermen had fished off the Massachusetts coast. After filling their hulls with cod, they would go ashore to lay in firewood and fresh water and perhaps capture a few Indians to sell into slavery in Europe. It is likely that these fishermen transmitted some illness to the people they met, The plague that ensued made the Black Death pale by comparison. Some historians think the disease was the bubonic plague; others suggest that it was viral hepatitis, smallpox, chicken pox, or influenza. Within three years the plague wiped out between 90 percent and 96 percent of the inhabitants of coastal New England. The Indian societies lay devastated. Only “the twentieth person is scarce left alive,” wrote Robert Cushman, a British eyewitness, recording a death rate unknown in all previous human experience. Unable to cope with so many corpses, the survivors abandoned their villages and fled, often to a neighboring tribe. Because they carried the infestation with them, Indians died who had never encountered a white person.
Howard Simpson describes what the Pilgrims saw: “Villages lay in ruins because there was no one to tend them. The ground was strewn with the skulls and the bones of thousands of Indians who had died and none was left to bury them.”
During the next fifteen years, additional epidemics, most of which we know to have been smallpox, struck repeatedly. European Americans also contracted smallpox and the other maladies, to be sure, but they usually recovered, including, in a later century, the “heavily pockmarked George Washington.”
Native Americans usually died. The impact of the epidemics on the two cultures
was profound. The English Separatists, already seeing their lives as part of a
divinely inspired morality play, found it easy to infer that God was on their side.
John Winthrop, governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, called the plague “miraculous.” In 1634 he wrote to a friend in England: “But for the natives in these parts, God hath so pursued them, as for 300 miles space the greatest part of them are swept away by the smallpox which still continues among them. So as God hath thereby cleared our title to this place, those who remain in these parts, being in all not 50, have put themselves under our protection . . ,” God the Original Real Estate Agent!”

Grant #144
Regarding the mobilization and the rights of military personnel to refuse coronavirus and other vaccination: they have the right to refuse.
Sample report here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HuUzhL2pdY_BxWWRGgKtahXH-dOJIg8c/
Details (squeeze) below:
In accordance with Federal Laws No. 31-FZ “On Mobilization Training and Mobilization in the Russian Federation”, No. 76-FZ “On the Status of Military Personnel”, No. 53-FZ “On Military Duty and Military Service”, “The Charter of the Internal Service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation” when declaring mobilization, citizens called up for military service service, are military personnel.
The second paragraph of paragraph 2 of Article 1 of Federal Law No. 76-FZ dated 26.05.1998 “On the status of military personnel” establishes: “Military personnel have human and civil rights and freedoms with certain restrictions established by this Federal Law, federal constitutional laws and federal laws.”
From which it follows that military personnel enjoy all the rights of citizens established by law in the field of healthcare, including the right to informed voluntary consent or refusal of medical intervention, including preventive vaccinations:
– Paragraph 1 of Article 5, paragraph 2 of Article 11 of Federal Law No. 157-FZ of 17.09.1998 “On immunoprophylaxis of infectious diseases”, citizens in the implementation of immunoprophylaxis have the right to refuse preventive vaccinations.
– paragraph 1 of Article 20, paragraphs 7, 8, paragraph 5 of Article 19 of the Federal Law of 21.11.2011 N 323-FZ “On the basics of protecting the health of citizens in the Russian Federation”: medical interventions in the Russian Federation are voluntary.
These rights may be restricted only on the basis of the norms of federal laws. Restriction of these rights by other regulatory acts, including the Charter, in the absence of an explicit basis for this in the norms of federal laws, is not allowed.
In addition, the Deputy Head of the Main Military Medical Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation M. Kuandykov, in a letter dated August 2, 2021 No. 161/7/P-2126, indicated that vaccination of military personnel against COVID-19 is carried out voluntarily.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Soledar Direction at 22:00 on 14 Oct 2022⚡️
▪️ In #Bakhmut area, Wagner PMC stormtroopers advance further south of #Bakhmut. Fierce fighting is taking place in #Opytnoye. Individual AFU units have withdrawn from #Otradovka towards #Kurdyumovka.
▪️ Formations of the AFU’s 93rd Mechanized Brigade defending this area are suffering significant losses of personnel. One of the brigade’s companies has abandoned its positions and retreated to the #Druzhkovka area.
▪️ Unconfirmed information is spreading among the local residents of #Bakhmut about the liberation of a furniture factory in the east of the settlement by the Wagner PMC fighters.
▪️ Thanks to the destruction of an ultra-short-wave repeater and disruption of the Starlink satellite communication system, communication between AFU units has been disrupted. In #Toretsk, an AFU artillery unit hit its own position.
▪️ Despite the critical situation for the AFU, no decision has been taken to withdraw the military contingent from #Bakhmut. However, a team was dispatched to the vicinity of Chasov Yar to conduct reconnaissance and search for suitable terrain for the Soledar Command Post in case of withdrawal.
▪️ In the #Soledar sector, units of the Russian Forces continue to fight in the #Spornoye section. The command of the 10th Mountain Assault Brigade expects an active Russian offensive along the entire frontline.
▪️ To deter the advance, Ukrainian artillery and army aviation conduct barrage fire to areas where Russian troops are advancing.

It makes sense if you read the material often posted here of the Zionist plans for Ukraine. Especially the Crimea and the Donbas. These are to be a Second Israel or a return of the Khazarian empire. The land is to be cleared of the current population to leave a “terra nullius” allowing the Return of Khazars to their real homeland.

Decades have past and I still resent friends that allowed a Sydney Morning Herald stringer to tag along on a night out to a fantastic family run small, unknown, Italian restaurant in the suburbs. Fuckker went and wrote a glowing review… place was totally destroyed within 6 weeks. In fact, the place was ruined the first week when suddenly a booking, even midweek, was required…
Here. One change that could help, as stated many times, is names first….

The “woke” crowd like “antifa” and the “post-modernist” Left in general have a different definition of “Nazi”: Anyone who opposes them.
It’s like “Commie” for the Right.

Starlink is the primary communications system of the Ukrainian army on the war front. If anyone else wants this job, please be my guest …

Big difference between peace comms vs warfront comms.
Starlink is only comms system still working at warfront – others all dead.
Russia is actively trying to kill Starlink. To safeguard, SpaceX has diverted massive resources towards defense.
Even so, Starlink may still die.

The more I think about it, the more I think the real disaster for Truss in the budget-debacle is her scapegoating of Kwarteng, instead of assuming full responsibility for the policies they shared and procedure she must at least have approved:
Apparently, for PM Truss, the pound stopped at Kwarteng.
Gutless and treacherous.

Now I am assuming that Sputnik is as bad as J+J. Which is very bad. So that would influence combat readiness and effectiveness. And possibly point to a larger issue, where the question becomes one of how did the Russians fall into the trap of the shots? Are Lavrov and Putin really unaware of the nature of these shots? Its possible. I dunno. I believe my prime minister young Trudeau is aware and promoting the deadly program.

We are off topic but the Sputnik is slightly different , found to be possibly more effective than Pfizer and not as dangerous.
“Sputnik V is a vaccine cocktail that combines two adenoviruses – human adenovirus serotype 26 and human adenovirus serotype five to deliver the gene for the SARS-CoV2 spoke protein into the body in a double-stranded DNA – as compared to the Pfizer which uses single-stranded messenger RNA”
it is supposed to be non replicating but who knows?
My opinion is that the CV is a bio weapon and countries like China and Russia may know what we don’t.

❗⚡️ The Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to break through in the direction of np. Mylovoe-Novogrigorievka. And he made an attempt to take control of the intersection of the Dudchany-Mylovoe road. The battle is being fought by the 205th brigade and the 140th regiment of the RF Armed Forces. Reserve 126 “Crimean” reinforced 10th special forces brigade.
The operational-tactical situation is complex but controlled.

Can you come up with another bit of land where people can live, but few do? All those Talmudists, particularly the ones who tend towards the status of predatory parasites, do need their own Reservation some damned place.

Centuries ago some would have suggested Ossetia. Legend has it Alexander built a wall for this very purpose:

The wall, also known as the Caspian Gates, has been identified with two locations: the Pass of Derbent, Russia, or with the Pass of Dariel, a gorge forming a pass between Russia and Georgia with the Caspian Sea to the east.
.
.
.
The Qur’an describes a figure known as Dhul Qarnayn, widely believed to be Alexander the Great, who built a wall made of iron between two mountains to defend the people from Yajuj and Majuj.[11]
During the Middle Ages, the Gates of Alexander story was included in travel literature such as the Travels of Marco Polo and the Travels of Sir John Mandeville.
The identities of the nations trapped behind the wall are not always consistent, however;
Mandeville claims Gog and Magog are really the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, who will emerge from their prison during the End Times and unite with their fellow Jews to attack the Christians.
Polo speaks of Alexander’s Iron Gates, but says the Comanians are the ones trapped behind it. He does mention Gog and Magog, however …

Perhaps the Ossetians would agree to a two state solution …

Does anyone know where to buy a genuine new Russian army or navy fur hat from Russia, not some openly pro Ukraine site? The officers’ fox fur or mink models are particularly impressive. With or without insignia. I might buy another for my wife but that is dangerous territory, given that women have their own ideas about fashion.
Meanwhile, we are giving these away to family and friends. As a fashion statement of course….
“Original Palestinian Kufiya – Black & White”.
Who could resist being mistaken for a reincarnation of Yasser Arafat or Dr George Habash?

I think people here are overly harsh about Liz. I said a month or so ago that her flexibility gave me hope. She has shown that trait again this week. It seems to me to be unreasonable to complain on one hand about western leaders having no reverse gear and also complain about the one does reversing gear. What did you want her to do – double down? Of course, I tend to agree with the Duran blokes that the deep state likely has her days numbered for her. For me, that is not a thing to be celebrated. But to each their own, I guess.

… putting untrained, unwilling and under equipped troops into a meat grinder.

I don’t see the problem.
It’s untrained, inexperienced Russian troops vs. untrained inexperienced Ukrainian troops.
There’s some degree of levelling of the playing fields happening in this respect.
The Russian green troops should at least have the higher morale since they’re not being forced to remain in Russia or threatened with death by Azov kommissars.

@164, 172, Re: No mandate for Russian military to take Covid shot. Here’s a source. My Kaspersky anti virus service-which I purchased mistakenly believing it wouldn’t block me from Russian sites–blocked me from accessing the Russian site named below:
10/10/22, “Sputnik V NOT included on list of mandatory vaccines for mobilized Russians,” edwardslavsquat.substack.com
“Ministry of Defense decides the current “epidemiological situation” does not warrant compulsory COVID vaccination.”
“While mobilized reservists are subject to COVID vaccination, the Ministry of Defense has determined that mandating the shot is not necessary given the current “epidemiological indications.”
For the time being, mobilized Russians will NOT be required to receive “safe and effective” Sputnik V shots. The “epidemiological indications” could “change”–and this is something we will keep a close eye on—but there is no reason to doubt this new information provided by Explain.rf….
Explain.rf, an official information portal, writes [Oct. 6, 2022]:
“The list of vaccinations is determined by specialists of the Ministry of Defense based on the epidemiological situation.
Now mobilized people are vaccinated against the following diseases:
Flu
Hepatitis
Typhoid fever
ADSM (diphtheria and tetanus)””…(I tried to get additional source material for this, but Google translate wouldn’t translate from Russian to English).

Ukrainian blogger Anatoly Shariy writes:
“If this is a breakthrough attempt, then this is the strangest breakthrough attempt in recent months.
Most likely, the blow will be in another place, and from there the Russians should, according to the idea of ​​the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, transfer to the Dudchany-Mylovoe direction.

⚡Nazi movements and attacks began on all fronts – both in the south and in the north (the junction of the Kharkov region and the LPR)
The goal is obvious – to tear the attention of the SMO command “to everything at once”, and to realize the main plan in the main (still unknown) direction.

ON KHERSON. REPORTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN SENT ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF THE OFFENSIVE OF THE APU.
The numbers on the enemy were different, from 30K to 60K, and this is a significant spread.
In any case, everything will depend on three factors:
1. The literacy of the actions of military leaders (everything is written in books, you just need to know and be able to apply it);
2. Disciplines of commanders of different levels;
3. Fortitude and patience of the Russian soldier.
Notice I don’t use the terms courage and bravery. Napoleon the Great said: “Courage for a soldier is not the first, and not even the second, the main thing is to be able to endure.”
It is relatively quiet in Donetsk, our guns rumble in the Pesok area. And I really want us to survive in Kherson, I wish the peasants patience.
