Armenia and Azerbaijan have accused each other of violating a new cease-fire aimed at stopping the fighting over the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh.

The truce, which was announced on October 17 and took force at midnight, was the second attempt at establishing a cease-fire since heavy fighting erupted in the region on September 27.

The fighting has killed at least 600 soldiers and civilians and is considered the worst since the 1994 cease-fire that ended all-out war between the two countries over Nagorno-Karabakh's status.

Internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, the mountainous territory has been controlled by ethnic Armenians, backed by Yerevan, since the 1994 halt in fighting.

The latest spasm of violence has stoked fears that the new violence could engulf the region in a wider conflict involving Azerbaijan's closest ally, Turkey, and Russia, which dominates the Collective Security Treaty Organization, of which Armenia is a member.

Comment: And Turkey's Erdogan accuses Russia, US & France of providing 'weapon support' to Armenia:
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has accused members of the OSCE Minsk Group of providing "weapon support" to Armenia in the ongoing Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, reiterating his own support for Azerbaijan.

Speaking at an event of his ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party in the southeastern Sirnak Province on Sunday, the Turkish president accused Russia, France, and the US - the states that co-chair the OSCE Minsk Mediation Group on Nagorno-Karabakh - of siding with Armenia in the conflict. The three countries are providing "all kinds of weapon support" to Yerevan, Erdogan claimed without giving any details.

The president reiterated that he stands with Azerbaijan, insisting it is within its rights to "liberate" the disputed, predominantly Armenian-populated region of Nagorno-Karabakh.

"Our Azerbaijani brothers are currently in a very serious struggle against Armenia. Why are they fighting this struggle? Because they are fighting to liberate Azerbaijan's occupied lands from the Armenians," Erdogan said. "What can be more natural than that?"

You'll recall that back in April of this year I examined the question of whether or not there was foreknowledge of the plandemic. Specifically, that episode of Questions For Corbett looked at: and several other signs that those in positions of power knew that 2020 was going to be the year of COVID.

But April seems like an eternity ago and many more pieces of suspiciously predictive activities been dug up in the meantime.

So, in the interest of continuing this exploration, let's examine 10 more signs of plandemic foreknowledge.

The Israel-Azerbaijan alliance: Iran, arms & oil

Israel-Azerbaijan
This is a follow-up video to the previous interview with political researcher Ararat Kostanian, who addressed the bizarre alliance between Israel and Azerbaijan. In this video, Kevork Almassian elaborates on the main reasons for the Israeli support of Azerbaijan against Armenia relying on leaked documents by Wikileaks.

Arms and Iran

A document leaked via Wikileaks which dates back to 2009 revealed that Azerbaijan's relations with Israel are discreet but close. Each country finds it easy to identify with the other's geopolitical difficulties and both rank Iran as an existential security threat.

Israel's defense industry with its relaxed attitude about its customer base is a perfect match for Azerbaijan's substantial military needs that are largely left unmet by the United States, Europe and Russia for various reasons tied to Armenia and Artsakh or Nagorno Karabakh.

Leaked letter reveals Wales to be put on another nation-wide lockdown

The card will show which coronavirus vaccine people have received, when they had it and allow them to report side effects
The lockdown will take Wales "back to the situation in March", when businesses shut and people were told they must stay at home.

A "circuit break" lockdown for Wales will start at 6pm next Friday and last for 17 days, according to a leaked letter from the transport union CPT.

The Welsh government is not due to announce its decision on whether to impose a national lockdown until Monday, but details have been outlined in a letter to transport operators from John Pockett, director of the Confederation of Passenger Transport Cymru.

Comment: It's curious that whilst England and numerous other countries throughout Europe have imposed regional lockdowns (in a suspiciously coordinated fashion) Wales has been chosen for yet another nationwide lockdown, even when its own leaders admit that the virus has been kept 'under check'.

With all the contradictory, illogical and tyrannical actions coming from governments, it's clear that there are other agendas afoot and the virus merely serves as cover: Also check out SOTT radio's:

POTUS Punk vs Dem Dementia

The total balkanization of culture in the U.S. into bulletproof containers of irrationality is precluding any possibility of civilized debate.

The whole planet is enthralled, appalled, shocked and awed by the spectacle of democracy as enacted under the shadow of messianic imperialism - complete with a slew of slimy, smoking gun October Surprises.

We're in total Frank Underwood territory. And as befits the ultimate "society of the simulacrum" pictured by Baudrillard back in the swingin' 1980s, all those similarities with a Wrestlemania spectacular are obviously not mere coincidence.

Let's start with the polls.

All manner of polls are circulating like whirling dervishes. Most highlight myriad Dem paths to victory and an inexorable Highway to Hell for Trump. A poll by The Economist gives Joe "Walking Dead" Biden a whopping 91% chance - remember Hillary in 2016? - of winning the Electoral College.

A Dem-fueled consensus is emerging that Trump - relentlessly depicted as a deranged, lunatic proto-fascist who's bad for business worldwide - will dispute results in any Republican-led state which he may narrowly lose, as in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Yet on the campaign trail, it's a completely different story. Evidence shows that on The Walking Dead's rallies, there are more people from the Biden bus and reporters than flesh-and-blood Dem voters. The Biden-Harris campaign, demonstrating its matchless P.R. skills, spins these rallies as campaign secrets.

When the buck stops nowhere: Barr - Haspel - Pompeo

"The saying 'the buck stops here' derives from the slang expression "pass the buck" which means passing the responsibility on to someone else"

This piece begins with an asymmetrical question to the subject of taking (or imposing) responsibility for disaster; why is it Europe worships its biggest losers? Because the collective memory of any given (European, includes its colonial progeny) society constitutes a state of denial or refusal to take responsibility for colossal mistakes?

"History is the lie commonly agreed upon" -Voltaire

Recalling and considering Voltaire was French, we can, by way of introduction to the following essay, simply point out Napoleon was a multiple loser, several times on a grand scale, who'd drained France of both blood & treasure. Despite the destruction of the 'Grande Armée' (380,000 dead French empire soldiers solely due to Napoleon's Russia campaign) and ultimate defeat at Waterloo, Napoleon is regarded as 'great.' WTF. Fewer, if any, created greater mischief for France than Napoleon. Following on Russia, it was Britain finally imposed responsibility on a greatly weakened France.

As well, then we have aftermath. Napoleon was responsible for the initial unity of several German principalities that ultimately led to the modern German state, and, with his 'Napoleonic Code' imposed upon these, introduced the idea of a 'uniform education' that, shortly after, inspired Prussia to (with Rules!, Obey!) educate all future Germans into Prussian mentalities and we know what that blessed France with, only a short century later, WWI & 'pause' WWII.

Biden advisor, Obamacare architect, now makes money by keeping you on lockdown

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, who some might remember from 2009 as a chief salesman for Obamacare, is back in the spotlight again with tuned-up public health priorities and a new Democrat to serve: Joe Biden.

Here's a LinkedIn profile I'd like to see:

In a fantasy world where everyone is obligated to tell the truth, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel's top-of-the-page summary would read:
"Professional medical ethicist. Served two American presidents by crafting intellectual framework and persuasive moral arguments in service of world-changing health care policy. Will craft bioethical philosophy and matching rhetoric to suit your needs!"
Emanuel, who some might remember from 2009 as a chief salesman for President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, is back in the spotlight again with tuned-up public health priorities and a new Democratic politician to serve. In this round of public service, he's a member of Joe Biden's public health advisory committee. With the pandemic ongoing, and health policy and virus restrictions front and center in this election, Emanuel's position within Biden's team matters.

Comment: Emanuel's ideas and edicts are some of the most despicable on the planet. Don't expect him to save Biden when or before 'check-out' time comes!

Trump isn't ruling out replacing Bill Barr in a second term: 'I'm not happy, considering all the evidence I have'

President Donald Trump didn't rule out replacing Attorney General Bill Barr if he gets a second term during a Wednesday interview with Newsmax. Trump told Newsmax host Greg Kelly:
"I have no comment. Can't comment on that. It's too early. I'm not happy with all of the evidence I have, I can tell you that. I'm not happy."
The president has criticized Barr and U.S. attorney John Durham in recent days after reports surfaced that Durham's probe into the investigation will not be completed prior to the 2020 general election in November, a development he called a "disgrace" while guest hosting The Rush Limbaugh Show Friday.

"This is the problem with Republicans," he continued. "They don't play the hard game."

One-on-one exclusive with Rudy Giuliani: What haven't we seen from the Hunter Biden hard drive; why won't he release it in full?

Direct evidence implicating former Vice President Joe Biden in a pay-for-play corruption scandal will be released to the public 10 days prior to the 2020 election, Rudy Giuliani told Daily Caller's senior White House correspondent Christian Datoc in an exclusive interview.

The former New York City mayor spoke Thursday evening with Datoc about all of the new allegations raised by emails and text messages alleged to have been pulled from a hard drive previously owned by Hunter Biden. Giuliani, President Donald Trump's personal attorney, did not deny that this is a political hit job. He said the reason he is releasing it slowly is to catch Biden in "lies" as his campaign denies the allegations.

The New Hunter Biden emails from Tucker Carlson tie everything all together

As my colleague Bonchie reported last night, Tucker Carlson teased new alleged Hunter Biden emails.

Carlson said they believed the emails came from the laptop but that they verified the emails were from Hunter Biden's email address at the time, which would indicate they were real. The emails further explain what Burisma wanted from their relationship with Hunter Biden. From Fox News:
On Nov. 2, 2015, at 4:36 p.m., a Burisma executive called Vadym Pozharskyi emailed Hunter Biden and his business partner, Devon Archer. The purpose of the email, Pozharskyi explains, is to "be on the same page re our final goals ... including, but not limited to: a concrete course of actions."

So what did Burisma want, exactly? Well, good PR, for starters. Pozharskyi wanted "high-ranking US [sic] officials" to express their "positive opinion" of Burisma, and then he wanted the administration to act on Burisma's behalf.

"The scope of work should also include organization of a visit of a number of widely recognized and influential current and/or former US [sic] policy-makers to Ukraine in November, aiming to conduct meetings with and bring positive signal/message and support" to Burisma.
What was the goal of all this? According to Pozharskyi to "close down for [sic] any cases/pursuits" against the head of Burisma in Ukraine.

Comment: Here's Carlson's breakdown:
Two corrections to Carlson's description: First, Kent said while he was concerned about the potential for conflict, he did not know himself of any wrongdoing. Second, Rudy Giuliani described the note from Hunter Biden to his daughter as a text, not an email.
