Posted by: Debsisdead | Mar 16 2025 19:36 utc | 199 This agent of American imperialism has insider scoop on the facts? No, this person doesn’t know a fact from opinion, much less has the capacity, which includes the desire, to look at reality. For a prominent member of the MoA commentariat, where it is a cliche to talk of the decline and imminent fall of the American empire, to keep assuming that the US controls everything, is indicative of detachment from reality. That’s why the claim that vengeance is a common motivator of US policy is contrary to fact. The personal attacks on enemy state leaders is about current interests, current profits, current power, not the personal satisfaction of nameless—and unnameable!—individuals. At least grant the imperialists the sense to largely pursue their empire, not fun and games.
The deranged invocation of so-called Dims probably gives the game away. Duterte is perceived as a Filipino Trump (he isn’t, resemblances are superficial.) But that’s good enough for this alleged person to decide that therefore all the proper Trump worshippers must avow, at the top of their lungs, that Trump is the target of lawfare and get indignant on behalf of Trump, er, Duterte. It is absurd to insist that somehow the so-called Dims have managed to yank Marcos’ strings, since Biden has been a lame duck since the election. Why would any obedient henchman not wait for the new boss? And of course, if the new boss, aka Trump, is the one behind this, then panicking about the boogeyman so-called Dims is completely stupid. If Trump interferes with the ICC lest prosecuting Duterte sets an undesirable precedent, which may well happen, what does that prove except that the ICC is no more under total US control than the Philippines. The problem with the gibberish spouted by this person is simple enough: The ICC cannot be both the puppet of US hostility to Trump and a hostile agent engaged in lawfare against Trump in the person of Duterte.
The (im)moral is that it is impossible to see reality when face down in the mud, crawling on your belly before your God Trump.

Another colonial power in Africa loses a foot hold.
“Rwanda has severed diplomatic relations with Belgium and ordered its diplomats to leave within 48 hours after accusing Brussels of neo-colonial interference, Rwanda’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Monday.
The Rwandan government accused Belgium of maintaining “neo-colonial delusions” and interfering in the ongoing conflict in the eastern regions of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The ministry’s statement highlighted Belgium’s “pitiful attempts” and its historical role in regional instability, and its actions against Rwanda in particular.
According to the statement, Belgium has had a destructive record in promoting ethnic extremism, leading to deep-rooted discrimination, persecution, and ultimately the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi.
In response to Rwanda’s decision, Belgian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Maxime Prévot criticized the move as “disproportionate” and indicative of Rwanda’s reluctance to engage in dialogue during disagreements. Consequently, Belgium declared on Monday all Rwandan diplomats persona non grata.”

The responses to your questions are all here:
https://drsambailey.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/A-FAREWELL-TO-VIROLOGY-Expert-Edition-V1.2.pdf

and here:

Please read them carefully, including all the citations. This is not trivial and requires time and understanding. They address all of the claims made by the virologists. Virology is a pseudoscience because it does not adhere to the scientific method not matter how many times virologists claim otherwise. Contrary to the popular belief and the dogma of virology, “viruses” as fully assembled, exogenous, infectious, replication competent particles of specific biochemical composition and morphology have never been proven to exist. The papers you cited do not prove the existence of such particles (viruses). Pictures of particles and sequences are not viruses. “Gain of function” is part of the psyop to maintain the socially constructed mythology/superstition of viruses and contagion. https://drsambailey.com/resources/videos/covid-19/gain-of-function-garbage/
You are a flat-earther. Your Gish Gallop of baloney is used by the folks pushing the not safe, not effective “vaccines” to discredit any legitimate pushback to the WHO agenda by pointing to crackpots like you.
This is an ad hominem attack without any scientific substance. “Vaccines” are a eugenics operation created by the Rockefellers et al, and part of “global health governance”.

CDC acknowledged that isolation/purification/filtration, a necessary but not sufficient condition to prove the existence, of “viruses” may not be possible.

After a week of Trump running his mouth about 30 NATO officers trapped in Kursk, we’re now handing over 23 ‘Ukrainian’ soldiers as a gesture of goodwill to Trump. Totally legit—no way these are actually the NATO officers.
Watch how the story magically disappears now. That’s your confirmation.
Then we agreed to a 30-day ceasefire on energy infrastructure strikes—also Trump’s idea.
First off, energy infrastructure isn’t just the power plants we like to hit when Ukraine gets too cocky. It’s refineries, fuel depots, and the entire supply chain. So now Ukraine gets 30 days to refuel and restock, while we get 30 days of no refinery strikes, which haven’t even scratched us. In other words, we gave them a free pass and got jack shit.
Now, the enemy never asks for a favor unless it benefits him. Any break we give him is paid for in the blood of our soldiers. And we’ve already made their jobs a nightmare with the most restrictive rules of engagement I’ve ever seen—for a war we keep calling ‘existential.’
Giving the enemy exactly what he wants mid-war is an insult to every soldier who bled for this. But let’s be real—this pattern ain’t new.
Like slashing the defense budget during the Minsk years, then charging into Kiev on garbage intel with an unprepared force, losing quite a few guys, only to throw away their sacrifices for the Istanbul papers—which, by the way, had zero demilitarization, no denazification, and would’ve screwed Donbas again.
Or like sacrificing hundreds of our own in Syria, only to negotiate away victory for some worthless deal that erased their sacrifices and left Syria in ruins.
Or like sacrificing our own to “liberate” Africa from French influence—and guess what’s gonna happen to that project once we make up with the Europeans? Exactly.
And now? We’re giving the enemy breathing room for absolutely nothing. Meanwhile, some PR genius thinks standing in the rain at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier while making decisions that create more unknown soldiers somehow counts as patriotism. Spoiler: it doesn’t.
This isn’t strategy. It’s a decade-long tradition of leadership gullibility—and it’s still going strong.
Some of you still have hope, waiting to see where this lands. Fine, tell me where I’m wrong. But to me, it’s clear as day: no lessons have been learned.
And I’m not gonna sit here and pretend it’s a genius move when every fiber of my being screams that it’s not.

why don’t Russia and China do something about the US trying to formally and publically trying to increase its influence over Ukrainian institutions and resources, trying to legally procure the Ukrainian energy sector?
I’m pretty stunned by the fact that the US could do this horrifying things again and again.
Maybe I’m expecting too much from the russia-china duo, but I kind of see them as a global opposition to the US.
