WASHINGTON, July 12 (Reuters) – John Bolton, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and former White House national security adviser, said on Tuesday that he had helped plan attempted coups in foreign countries.
Bolton made the remarks to CNN after the day’s congressional hearing into the Jan 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The panel’s lawmakers on Tuesday accused former President Donald Trump of inciting the violence in a last-ditch bid to remain in power after losing the 2020 election.

Re: De-Dollarization ?
At the accelerated pace of de-dollarization since early 2022, the first dramatic impacts are likely to be felt in 2027. These impacts are a 10 year treasury rate above 6%…..at those interest rates, the Federal Gov’t will be unquestionably insolvent.

Here’s a juicy tidbit of a report from last night’s The National (on Canada’s public broadcaster, CBC)
https://youtu.be/zRYM4d3n8Zw
“Why Europe would consider inviting Canada into a defence pact”
Given how extremely reticent ‘official Canada’ is with ever saying directly that the US is anything except a trusted ally, etc., this report is noteworthy. Suggesting Canada is much further away from Russian missiles than Ukraine is a bit dishonest, and they even show a map in the report. Anyway. New PM Carney immediately flew to France then the UK. I watched a brief clip of him meeting with King Charles, who says something like it’s so good to see you again, we have so much to catch up on. <— Whenever an episode of the National talks more directly about war, it’s always prudent to check with the Moment, which closes the show. It’s about a B.C. man who returned a library book after 64 years. https://youtu.be/Qo-wVG46lqQ

Dont say we never warn you !

Chris Floyd,

This column stands foursquare with the Honorable Donald H. Rumsfeld, U.S. Secretary of Defense, when he warns that there will be more terrorist attacks against the American people and civilization at large. We know, as does the Honorable Donald H. Rumsfeld, U.S. Secretary of Defense, that this statement is an incontrovertible fact, a matter of scientific certainty. And how can we and the Honorable Donald H. Rumsfeld, U.S. Secretary of Defense, be so sure that there will be more terrorist attacks against the American people and civilization at large?
Because these attacks will be instigated at the order of the Honorable Donald H. Rumsfeld, U.S. Secretary of Defense.

Sure enough..

DHS DR Gerstein made an alarming prediction during his presentation, stating that “we expect a pandemic by the end of 2013.” One must wonder how Gerstein could possibly pinpoint a timeline for a pandemic, which is generally seen to be the result of unpredictable microscopic events. Unless, perhaps, he has a hand in creating one.

Janet Phelan,

The fact that several selective delivery systems for biological/chemical warfare have already been documented within the borders of the United States adds credence to the perception that a flu planted in another country could be used as a cover for a selective devastation of certain demographic groups within the First World. The declaration of a global pandemic gives the WHO the power to mandate vaccinations, overriding sovereign national law concerning the right of refusal.

Rings a bell ?
SARS, SWINE FLU, H5N1, H7N9, SARS2 [COVID] etc etc were planted by you know who in China, to make the Han pariah of the 21C !

Germany’s parliament did it and using the pre-election Bundestag (the new one comes into effect a week from now) voted to allow debt-fuelled war spending, fully supported by the ever war-mongering Green Party. A coalition of the AfD and Die Linke could have forced the immediate move to the post-election Bundestag but Die Linke showed their true fake left colours to facilitate massive war spending.
Without the full on campaign to keep the real left BSW out of the Bundestag this may not have been possible. The CDS/CDU Merz of course was lying throughout his campaign where he pushed himself as a fiscal conservative. This is what passes for “democracy” in Germany, whatever is required to get what the oligarchy wants will be done. As with Romania, where any candidate that is against NATIO and/or the EU is deemed unfit to run.
Germany’s passes trillion-euro bill to boost spending on defense, infrastructure, climate

With avian flu and viral angina never ceasing since….the Olympics? Or was it before? It looks more clear now that each vaccination campaign (i.e. every 6 months somewhere in the Western world, i.e. the 1 percent that actually travels more) has produced a very resistant new strain of….whatever you want to call it. This is making ppl weaker, and this is not even accounting for those who actually go every year for flu caxx plus corona vaxx and have seen there immunity fall down…or worse.

Carney Says Solving US Issues ‘Won’t Happen Overnight’ Amid Trump Tariffs
https://globalnews.ca/news/11087206/mark-carney-donald-trump-tariffs-trade-talks-canada/
“Prime Minister Mark Carney said Tuesday it will take time to solve economic and security issues between Canada and the US amid President Donald Trump’s trade war, warning no ‘magic’ single meeting will ‘unlock things’.
Carney told reporters in Iqaluit those tariffs and other actions from the Trump administration have ‘called into question the validity’ of free-trade rules enshrined in the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), which Trump negotiated during his first term…”

Cross-Border Trips To the US Reach Covid Levels with Nearly 500,000 Fewer Travellers in February

“Nearly 500,000 fewer travellers crossed the land border from Canada into the US in February compared to the same month last year, according to the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the latest sign that President Donald Trump’s taunts and tariffs have shaken bilateral relations.
The data shows there was a sudden reversal in February, just as Trump was launching his trade war and ramping up his annexationist rhetoric about Canada becoming the 51st state.”

Will the British be told to vacate…Ukraine Navy what is left to be disbanded all assets neutralized, can Russian Black Sea Fleet return to Sevastopol? Will NATO countries at the west end be permitted to patrol those areas Romina Bulgaria, maybe in demarcated areas, or as like no NATO troops in Ukraine these vessels should be banned? What happens if eg the British forces who seem to be rather independant if not gung ho , prone to subversive actions(it was not me guv) break the rules,? What about the presence of spy planes Reaper and similar? Should there be a no fly zone over the Black Sea for NATO …can Russia fly over dedicated zones of the Black Sea??

“The price of gold hit a new record high last week, passing the $3,000 mark, in a sign of the growing uncertainty surrounding the stability of the dollar – the result both of long-term trends and the consequences of the economic policies of the Trump administration.
The US debt has now risen to $36 trillion with the interest bill running at an annual rate of $1 trillion a year – a situation which is acknowledged to be unsustainable, including by the Fed…”

It was in 1971 that Nixon declared the “War on Cancer”.

Cancer breakthrough
New cancer therapy ‘disguises’ tumors as pork to trigger immune attack, 90% effective – Chinese researchers turned the immune response to organ transplant rejection to cure cancer with a 90% success rate.
“Called a ‘tumor-to-pork’ strategy, a new study published in Cell earlier this year demonstrated immense success in engineering a virus that tricked the human body into believing that cancer cells were pig tissue, thereby triggering a hyperacute inflammatory response. The virus began attacking the tumor with a staggering 90% success rate, to the point of curing a patient with advanced cervical cancer.”

I wanted to explain what I have learned about Chinese technological development.
The state stays out of it and fosters cutthroat competition.
In America, Facebook, Google, etc are all part of the USG and constantly devour startups.
In China, people start up new firms constantly and they battle for market share relentlessly.
DeepSeek has already been exceeded by other AI products in China. BYD is the most innovative car maker in China but it competes with 5 or 6 other national brands now. BYD can’t sit on their laurels, and the state is not going to bail them out if they fall behind.
Sounds to me like China is practicing true Capitalism (ruthless competition, leading to lower prices and better products) without the monopolies that the West likes to create to control private enterprise.
Wins for humanity. Outside of Canada and America, most Chinese products can be sold easily.

President Trump just exposed Arthur Schlesinger’s full 15-page memo calling for JFK to break up the CIA in 1961.
Schlesinger called the CIA a rogue “state within a state.”
“No one knows how many potential problems … are being created by CIA clandestine operations.”
🧵THREAD
https://x.com/Holden_Culotta/status/1902201166680740088
Schlesinger: “The contemporary CIA possesses many of the characteristics of a state within a state.”
“There is no doctrine governing our conduct of clandestine operations.”
Schlesinger slammed the idea that the CIA should “fight fire with fire” to defeat communism.
“If fighting fire with fire means contracting the freedoms traditionally enjoyed by Americans in order to give more freedom to the CIA, no one seriously wishes to do that.”
https://x.com/Holden_Culotta/status/1902201310331408683
Schlesinger: “CIA operations have not been held effectively subordinate to US foreign policy.”
“In short, no one knows how many potential problems for US foreign policy — and how much potential friction with friendly states — are being created at this moment by CIA clandestine intelligence operations.”
https://x.com/Holden_Culotta/status/1902201442334576803
In practice, Schlesinger told JFK, the State Department had become a “rubber stamp” for CIA clandestine operations.
“The concept of ‘contingency planning’ has legitimized the concrete preparation of operations still presumably in a hypothetical stage.”
“If a group is assembled and revved up on a contingency basis, then the failure to carry the project through (it is argued) will invite the disappointment and alienation of the group.”……………..

I wonder how much of the difference is that money is not in Chinese politics, and so, they aren’t obliged to bail out donors.

When I worked in German municipality politics, I was amazed at the size of funding even without any corruption involved. Being on the municipal parlament is a well-payed occupation, and there’s lots more for them to hire people, all paid by the state. Interestingly, the payment curve for leadership is very steep, which generates heavy fighting over such positions from the lowest level on up. As is the nature of such fights, those willing and able to invest more criminal energy have an advantage. That, in turn, attracts the big players, who are pulling strings in this sorta swampy environment.

Kooky stuff being unearthed in JFK files.
Anyone familiar with the Hawk Tuah girl? Haley Welch?
Pushed by the internet algorithms to absurd heights of ridiculous “awareness” for a supposedly unscripted street interview where she advised to “hawk tuah” on a penis before performing fellatio. Was *every* on the internet.
Then she* (well some team she was connected with) released a crypto meme coin. And pumped and dumped millions.
Guess what?
Her grandmother was a CIA asset in North Carolina, and an informant in the JFK files.
Seems Miles Matthis is only partly crazy. The connections really do run deep and generational. And yes, Hawk Tuak Girl … absolutely chosen.
