Russian President Vladimir Putin survived an assassination attempt after his car was allegedly attacked while travelling to his official residence in a decoy motorcade, according to media reports.

The Mirror, a UK daily, reported that Putin was in his limousine when a "loud bang" was heard from the left front wheel of the car followed by heavy smoke.

Putin managed to escape unhurt following which he was quickly taken to safety by his personal security guards.

Current attempts to push for a unipolar world "have taken an absolutely ugly form lately, which the overwhelming majority of nations of the planet find unacceptable," Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday.

The remark came as he met his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.

Russia and China "stand together for a just, democratic, multipolar world order based on international law and the central role of the UN, and not on some rules that somebody invented and attempts to impose on others without even explaining what they are," Putin said.

The administration of US President Joe Biden has been using the phrase "rules-based world order" to describe the way it prefers the world to operate.

I'm fully aware that Covid and vaccines are no longer really the current thing, indeed, they've been superseded by at least three or four newer and more flashy current things. The Queen died, there's inflation and economic misery, possible energy shortages and power cuts, Amazon has turned Tolkien into a wraith which stalks our cultural space, haunting us with what it once was, and migrants are literally swimming into Dover as I write.

Indeed, among my peer-group in Dissident Right content creation, I'm still wearing flares and massive collars while they've all moved on to punk.

However, I genuinely believe that a crime of gargantuan proportions was committed against the people of the earth, my country and my family. I'm certainly not alone in feeling this and a crime does not stop being a crime because more spanners have been thrown into the machinery of the discourse.

A huge swathe of the public know that ''something isn't right''. In a recent video, Andy Nowicki spoke of the aesthetics of ''High Strangeness'' wherein we see, we know, that the picture on the wall is hanging lopsided, but it is demanded of us that we believe it is straight.

The Guardian is here to tell you that the crooked picture is actually straight.

The author of the article in question, Devi Sridhar, is not an investigative journalist, but a technocrat. Sridhar's Wikipedia page is basically just a list of ''Global Governance'' institutions and NGO's, Sridhar has spent her career jumping from one to another. They're all there; Gates, Chatham House, The WEF, The WHO.

Any pretence of objectivity has long since taken a walk. This isn't even a corrupt journalist who's had their mortgage paid for, the foot-soldiers of the Technocracy simply write the articles themselves.

Put your hands together for Nancy Pelosi!

But first, a brief history of applause. Clapping our hands is a human social gesture — born thousands of years ago — to show approval and admiration. While there is the polite golf clap for a well-struck shot, nearly all other types of applause come from the heart when we're inspired or moved or blown away.

And throughout history, one thing has always been taboo (if unspoken): never ask for applause. You either earn it or you don't. But you just can't be beggy.

After 2016, Democrats denounced Trump's win as illegitimate, said election was stolen.

Strategic amnesia is a new syndrome that lets Democrats forget that they are guilty of the same behavior for which they demonize Republicans - especially when the GOP is innocent as charged. Strategic amnesia is, essentially, what happens as psychological projection festers over time.

Strategic-Amnesiac-in-Chief Joe Biden embodied this neurosis during the Snarl Heard 'Round the World - his recent corrosive, divisive speech from Philadelphia's Independence Hall.

Biden vilified "MAGA Republicans" - President Donald J. Trump's 74 million voters.

"They refuse to accept the results of a free election," Biden shouted, in remarks translated here from the original German. "They embrace anger. They thrive on chaos. They live not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies."

Florida governor sends migrants to Martha's Vineyard as part of program 'to transport illegal immigrants to sanctuary destinations.'

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis followed through on his promise to drop off illegal immigrants in progressive states, sending two planes full of migrants to Martha's Vineyard on Wednesday.

A video provided to Fox News Digital shows the migrants deboarding the planes at Martha's Vineyard Airport in Massachusetts.

"Yes, Florida can confirm the two planes with illegal immigrants that arrived in Martha's Vineyard today were part of the state's relocation program to transport illegal immigrants to sanctuary destinations," the governor's communications director, Taryn Fenske, told Fox News Digital.

The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal speaks to Faina Savenkova, a 13-year-old resident of the Lugansk Republic who was placed on the Myrotvorets (Peacemaker) "kill list" of the Ukrainian government after she issued a call to the United Nations for an end to the war she has lived through since 2014.

Meera Terada also joins to provide background on the role of Myrotvorets in the killing of many journalists and doxxing of hundreds of children, and to identify the Ukrainian officials and public figures behind the disturbing website.

Either this leak is a brilliant piece of technothriller fiction - or it shows that collapse we are experiencing was Made in the U.S.A.

"How can we destabilize Europe?"

"How can we destroy Germany and make life hard for Russia at the same time?"

"How can we seize total control over all people, everywhere?"

Total conspiracy theory questions. Right?

Well, to be sure, what you are about to read may be such good technothriller writing that Tom Clancy would have a run for his money. However, this reportedly comes from none less than the RAND Corporation, which is a real and well-known think tank in California that makes it its business to think about how to do things. All kinds of things.

The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has acknowledged publicly for the first time that the agency gave false information about its COVID-19 vaccine safety monitoring.

Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the agency's director, said in a letter made public on Sept. 12 that the CDC did not analyze certain types of adverse event reports at all in 2021, despite the agency previously saying it started in February 2021.

"CDC performed PRR analysis between March 25, 2022, through July 31, 2022," Walensky said. "CDC also recently addressed a previous statement made to the Epoch Times to clarify PRR were not run between February 26, 2021, to September 30, 2021."

Walensky's agency had promised in several documents, starting in early 2021, to perform a type of analysis called Proportional Reporting Ratio (PRR) on reports submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, which it helps manage.

But the agency said in June that it did not perform PRRs. It also said that performing them was "outside th[e] agency's purview."

Confronted with the contradiction, Dr. John Su, a CDC official, told The Epoch Times in July that the agency started performing PRRs in February 2021 and "continues to do so to date."

But just weeks later, the CDC said Su was wrong.

A recurring feature of the Cold War was that the United States almost always placed great store on the optics of a Soviet-American affair while Moscow chose to concentrate on the end result. The Cuban Missile Crisis is the best known example where the denouement was about the publicised abandonment of the planned Soviet deployment of missiles in Cuba and a US public declaration and agreement not to invade Cuba again. But it later came to be known that there was also an unpublicised part, namely, the dismantling of all of the Jupiter ballistic missiles that had been deployed to Turkey.

The behavioural pattern remains the same in Ukraine. Per the western narrative, Russia is staring at the abyss of defeat amidst the "rout" in Kharkov Region. Interestingly, though, at the responsible levels in the Beltway, there is noticeable reticence about beating the drums presumably because of their awareness that the Ukrainian forces simply re-entered the Balakleysko-Izyum direction to occupy areas that Russians had planned to vacate.

Moscow is once again leaving the optics almost entirely to the American journalists while Moscow concentrates on the end result, which has had three dimensions: one, complete the ongoing evacuation from the Balakleysko-Izyum direction without loss of lives; two, exploit the Ukrainian troop movements to target the forces that came out into the open from well-fortified positions in the Kharkov Region; and, three, concentrate on the campaign in Donetsk.

The last part is becoming very sensitive for Moscow, as a significant section of Russian "war correspondents" carried sensational reports that it is apocalypse now. Even senior politicians such as Gennady Zyuganov, General Secretary of the Communist Party, and a powerful voice in the State Duma, feels agitated.

Zyuganov said at the first plenary meeting of the Russian State Duma's fall session on Tuesday that the "special operation" has grown into a full-fledged war and the situation on the front has "changed drastically" in the past couple of months.

A fragment of the speech, posted in the Communist Party's website also quoted Zyuganov as saying that "every war requires a response. First and foremost, it requires maximum mobilisation of forces and resources. It demands social cohesion and clear prioritisation."
