Domestic politics should not face "destructive interference" by foreign actors, Moscow has said.

Moscow has pledged its "unwavering support" for Bolivian President Luis Arce after his government faced an attempted military coup on Wednesday.

The failed putsch was led by the commander of the Armed Forces, General Juan Jose Zuniga. His troops occupied Plaza Murillo, the central square in the Bolivian capital La Paz, and broke into the presidential palace, but faced resistance at home and rebukes internationally.

Russia has condemned the attempted coup and considers it imperative that internal political disputes be settled within the framework of constitutional law, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Thursday.
"We warn against attempts at destructive foreign interference in the domestic affairs of Bolivia and other nations. Such actions have previously led to tragic consequences for a number of countries and peoples, including in the Latin American region."
The statement called Bolivia a "strategic partner." Arce reiterated in late May his country's intention to join BRICS, a group of not-Western economies that includes Russia among its founding members.

21 facts that Joe Biden doesn't want you to know

It takes a lot of gumption to go on television and repeatedly lie to more than 300 million Americans. I honestly don't know how Joe Biden does it. I suppose that after you have been lying for your entire career, lying comes as naturally as breathing does. Sadly, there are still millions of Americans that are falling for his lies after all this time. Biden would like for us all to believe that the economy is "booming", that the southern border is under control, that our communities are safe, and that Ukraine is going to win their war against Russia. Our entire society is literally crumbling all around us, and Biden and his minions have brought us to the brink of global war. I am entirely convinced that he has been the worst president in U.S. history, and that is really saying something.

Ultimately, Joe Biden is just another slimy politician that is trying to save his job.

I get that.

But come on man, how can anyone actually believe the nonsense that he is shoveling?

There are a few numbers that Biden can cherry pick to try to make himself look good, but here are 21 facts that Joe Biden doesn't want you to know...

Divided Supreme Court rules in major homelessness case that outdoor sleeping bans are OK

The Supreme Court cleared the way for cities to enforce bans on homeless people sleeping outside in public places on Friday, overturning a ruling from a California-based appeals court that found such laws amount to cruel and unusual punishment when shelter space is lacking.

The case is the high court's most significant ruling on the issue in decades and comes as a rising number of people in the U.S. are without a permanent place to live.

In a 6-3 decision along ideological lines, the high court found that outdoor sleeping bans don't violate the Eighth Amendment.

Western cities had argued that the ruling made it harder to manage outdoor encampments in public spaces, but homeless advocates said punishing people who need a place to sleep would criminalize homelessness.

In California, which is home to one-third of the country's homeless population, Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom said the decision gives state and local officials the authority to clear "unsafe encampments" from the streets while acting with compassion. "This decision removes the legal ambiguities that have tied the hands of local officials for years," he said.

Justice Neil Gorsuch acknowledged those concerns in the opinion he wrote for the majority:
"Homelessness is complex. Its causes are many. So may be the public policy responses required to address it. A handful of federal judges cannot begin to 'match' the collective wisdom the American people possess in deciding 'how best to handle' a pressing social question like homelessness."
He suggested that people who have no choice but to sleep outdoors could raise that as a "necessity defense," if they are ticketed or otherwise punished for violating a camping ban.

Comment: Despicable treatment by this administration for Americans in dire need, given the billion$ handed to Ukraine for Biden's proxy war. SC just sealed the deal and no one is fixing the problem.

Over 80 UK war planes deployed from Cyprus to Lebanon since 7 Oct; 14 flights just this month

The UK has sent over 80 military transport planes to the Lebanese capital of Beirut since the start of Israel's war on Gaza nine months ago, Declassified UK reported on 28 June.

All the flights have gone from the UK's massive Akrotiri airbase on the nearby island of Cyprus, long a staging post for UK bombing missions in West Asia.

Declassified UK notes that the number of UK military flights to Beirut has risen dramatically in recent months. The group tracked 25 flights in April and May and 14 so far in June.

Comment: Cyprus did indeed proclaim it's intention to stay out of the West's escalations in the Middle East, however, all things considered, even if it genuinely wanted to, it doesn't seem to have much choice in the matter.

Whilst it seems all but inevitable that the maniacs in the West and Israel will go ahead with their schemes, they, at least in the short term, appear to be held back by their own incompetence and corruption:

Don't Let The Elite Get Away With Gaslighting That They Didn't Know About Biden's Senility

Biden
Biden's disastrous debate performance last week made it impossible to deny his senility, yet the Western elite is gaslighting they were supposedly oblivious to this until now. Time Magazine published a piece titled "Inside Biden's Debate Disaster and the Scramble to Quell Democratic Panic", which was complemented by CNN's about how "Foreign diplomats react with horror to Biden's dismal debate performance".

Both make it seem like Biden's senility is a surprise for everyone who knew him.

The reality is that they knew about this all along but covered it up by lying that any claims to this effect were "Russian propaganda" and/or a "conspiracy theory", all because they actually approved of the Democrats installing a literal placeholder in the White House who the liberal-globalist elite could control. It was a refreshing change of pace from Trump, who was much too independent for their liking despite his occasional capitulations to their demands, and it also reassured America's allies who disliked him too.

They both went along with the lie that Biden is in tip-top mental condition for reasons of political convenience, but now it's impossible to keep up the charade any longer, hence why they're all feigning surprise and shock. The elite shouldn't be allowed to get away with their latest gaslighting and should be exposed for one of the greatest cover-ups in American history. The country is being ruled by a shadowy network of transnational and domestic elites that are united by their radical liberal-globalist ideology.

Best of the Web: War or Peace? Towards a Ukrainian Peace or a Direct NATO-Russian War

Introduction

The following is an overview of the recent events and present state of the NATO-Russia Ukrainian War. We observe movement towards the end of the conflict in its present configuration and in two new directions simultaneously — a race to the final resolution of the NATO-Russia question. One direction consists of movement towards peace negotiations. The other is toward escalation into a open, direct NATO-Russia war likely to expand beyond the borders of Ukraine and far western regions of Russia. The race to resolution is on and it remains anyone's guess whether peace or greater war will win the day.

Russia Proposes Diplomacy...Again

On June 14 Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a roadmap for ending the NATO-Russia Ukrainian War during a speech at Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He called the "Ukrainian crisis" "a tragedy for us all" and the result not of a Russo-Ukrainian conflict per se but "of the aggressive, cavalier, and absolutely adventurous policy that the West has pursued and is pursuing." He proposed what he called "a real peace proposal" for establishing a permanent end to the Ukrainian conflict and war rather than a ceasefire. Putin based his proposal on principles he has reiterated numerous times, most of which were agreed upon by Kiev and Moscow in Istanbul in March-April 2022; a process scuttled by Washington, London, and Brussels. In particular, he has now offered "simple" conditions for the "beginning of discussions." They include: the full withdrawal of all Ukrainian troops from Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporozhia oblasts as they existed as of 1991 — that is, Russia would receive all the oblasts' territories not just those now controlled by Russian troops. Immediately upon agreeing to this condition and a second requiring Kiev's rejection of any NATO membership (Ukraine's "neutral, non-bloc, non-nuclear status"), from the Russian side "immediately, literally the same minute there will follow an order to cease fire and begin negotiations" and Moscow "will guarantee the unhindered and safe withdrawal" of Ukrainian units. However, he expressed "huge doubts" that the West would allow Kiev to agree to this. If his offer is rejected, Putin emphasized that all future blood-letting in Ukraine would be the West's and Kiev's "political and moral responsibility" and that Kiev's negotiating position would only deteriorate as its troops' position at the front.

Another boondoggle revealed: US removes Gaza aid pier due to "weather" and may not put it back, officials say

The pier built by the U.S. military to bring aid to Gaza has been removed due to weather to protect it, and the U.S. is considering not re-installing it unless the aid begins flowing out into the population again, U.S. officials said Friday.

While the military has helped deliver desperately needed food through the pier, the vast majority of it is still sitting in the adjacent storage yard and that area is almost full. Aid agencies have had difficulty moving the food to areas further into Gaza where it is most needed because the humanitarian convoys have come under attack.

The U.N., which has the widest reach in delivering aid to starving Palestinians, hasn't been distributing food and other emergency supplies arriving through the pier since June 9. The pause came after the Israeli military used an area near the pier to fly out hostages after their rescue in a raid that killed more than 270 Palestinians, prompting a U.N. security review over concerns that aid workers' safety and neutrality may have compromised.

Comment: It was never about humanitarian aid. The U.S. set up the pier to deliver enough arms for the IDF's latest ghastly 'hostage rescue'. Now they don't really need it any more, until Israel makes another attempt to mass-deport the Palestinians. But some contractor somewhere is making bank on this clown show.

Pro-Western group calls for NATO assassination campaign in Russia

Former-Duma MP Ilya Ponomarev claims 5,000 determined fighters would be enough to seize power in the country.

A former Russian State Duma MP has claimed that he will pressure NATO leaders to assassinate members of President Vladimir Putin's inner circle and overthrow the Russian government, The Times reported on Wednesday.

The British newspaper spoke to Ilya Ponomarev, a self-styled representative of the "Russian resistance." He outlined his plan to submit a document during the 75th NATO summit in Washington next month that justifies the use of force against those close to Putin.

Ponomarev, who lives in exile and claims that some serving Russian MPs are part of his movement, told The Times that the term 'combatant' should cover "government officials who organize or finance the war [with Ukraine], businessmen who produce arms, propaganda warmongers." The targeted assassination of such people on Russian soil would then be legal, he argued.

Supreme Court makes it harder to charge Capitol riot defendants with obstruction, charge Trump faces

USSC
© Jose Luis Magana/APUS Supreme Court • June 18, 2024 • Washington DC
The Supreme Court on Friday made it harder to charge Capitol riot defendants with obstruction, a charge used in hundreds of prosecutions and also faced by former President Donald Trump.

The justices ruled 6-3 that the charge of obstructing an official proceeding, enacted in 2002 in response to the financial scandal that brought down Enron Corp., must include proof that defendants tried to tamper with or destroy documents. Only some of the people who violently attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, fall into that category.

The decision could be used as fodder for claims by Trump and his Republican allies that the Justice Department has treated the Capitol riot defendants unfairly.

It's unclear how the court's decision will affect the case against Trump in Washington, although special counsel Jack Smith has said the charges faced by the former president would not be affected.

The high court returned the case of former Pennsylvania police officer Joseph Fischer to a lower court to determine if Fischer can be charged with obstruction. Fischer has been indicted for his role in disrupting Congress' certification of Democrat Joe Biden's 2020 presidential election victory over Trump. Fischer is among about 350 people who have been charged with obstruction. Some pleaded guilty to or were convicted of lesser charges.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the court's opinion, joined by conservative Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas, and by liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Comment: Who is culpable? The Biden administration 'attacks' democracy daily. Included are the 'perceptions it requires' from Jan. 6.


Ice Cube

Joe Biden catches a cold

tissue
© usatoday.comSneezy Joe
Maybe ninety-seconds into last night's long-awaited debate spectacle, the consensus must have jelled among the woke-and-broken news media mavens that their champion, "Joe Biden," was not quite killing it out there at the podium. CNN moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash acted like witnesses at a ritual sacrifice. And afterward, the CNN post-mortem panel seemed genuinely shocked that months of playing pretend had skidded to such an ignominious finish.

Which raises a great many questions, starting with: why on earth did the Democratic Party and its media handmaidens persist in pretending month-after-month that "Joe Biden" was a fit candidate for another four-year term? Last night, he didn't appear capable of even finishing the current term. Why did they usher him so jauntily into the nomination? And what are they going to do about that now? And what were their motives for all that pretending? "Joe Biden" circulates among scores of astute officials every day. Did they all fail to notice his incapacity? Or has the whole thing been a sham and a lie all along? Was this just the culminating hoax by the Party of Hoaxes of a long string of hoaxes against the nation going back to 2015?

To the question of motives, the answer is obvious: the news networks have worked tirelessly (and with stunning dishonor) to hide their collusion with the government in gaslighting the public. More to the point, they've concealed the appalling truth that the CIA, DARPA, and their many intel blob subsidiaries conducted a silent coup over the USA and have been running our country's affairs disastrously behind the "Joe Biden" façade — and that the coup actually started well before Mr. Trump's 2016 inauguration. You know it, and they know that you know it.
