Navalny crashes out - what happened when he wasn't on lithium and benzodiazepines

The last unanswered question about Alexei Navalny was answered this week in a Moscow courtroom by Navalny himself. For the first time he didn't have production back-up from his MI6 helper, Maria Pevchikh of London, or his CIA and BND teams in the Black Forest of Baden-Württemberg.

The question is a medico-psychiatric one. It was first made public by Navalny's treating doctors at the Charité clinic in Berlin. These doctors, it was, who revealed that Navalny was a heavy user of lithium and benzodiazepine drugs. They published this in a set of four data tables they attached as appendices to their case report on Navalny. Their data raised the question — what would happen if Navalny was forced to withdraw from his drugs quickly.

After eighteen days in remand prison in Moscow, Navalny answered this question himself in the Babushkinsky district court on February 5.

The disclosure that in his Tomsk hotel on August 19, hours before he collapsed and the Anglo-German OPERATION NOVI-NOVICHOK commenced, Navalny had taken a large dose of lithium, diazepam, nordazepam, oxazepam, and temazepam, was first published on December 22 in The Lancet. Read the report and the analysis here.

The medico-psychiatric literature is clear on what happens to a habitual user of these drugs if rapid withdrawal is attempted: for lithium, read this; for the benzodiazepines, click to open.

Covid travel rule-breakers arriving in the UK could face 10-year jail terms, says Health Secretary Hancock

Travellers arriving from coronavirus hotspots could face £10,000 fines and jail sentences of up to 10 years under a package of measures designed to stop new variants entering Britain.

Matt Hancock, the health secretary, said people who travelled to England from 33 high-risk countries would have to pay up to £1,750 to quarantine in government-designated hotels for 10 days. He also confirmed a new "enhanced testing" regime for all international travellers, with two tests required during the quarantine process from next Monday.

The strictest punishments would be reserved for people who lie about their travel history and conceal recent visits to countries on the "red list", for example by travelling via exempt countries.

The move prompted consternation from Conservative backbenchers who questioned threatening people with lengthy jail sentences and large fines without a vote or debate in the Commons.

Comment: Paranoid UK elites are radically transforming their country into a big concentration camp. Draconian fines and jail sentences for not obeying government measures, losing all human rights, and installing a police state should be our "new normal."

Even after many people received the dangerous Covid vaccine in the UK and many more will in the near future, the number of "cases" is still high which means that the fascistic measures will remain in power for "some time."

In confronting Russian 'aggression', Biden forgets he is the problem, not the solution

Joe Biden calls on American leadership to confront Russian authoritarianism that he claims threatens American democracy. But every problem between the two has its roots in US actions Biden once supported. Physician, heal thyself.

"America is back. America is back. Diplomacy is back at the center of our foreign policy."

With these resounding words as his starting point, President Joe Biden gave his first major foreign policy address, symbolically delivered at the State Department headquarters, with Secretary of State Anthony Blinken in attendance. His was a message of rebirth and hope.

"As I said, in my inaugural address," Biden noted, "we will repair our alliances, engage with the world once again, not to meet yesterday's challenges, but today's, and tomorrow's."

Biden's speech covered a wide range of topics, ranging from the Covid-19 pandemic to climate change, from the Middle East to LGTBQ rights. He waxed eloquently about the nexus between democracy and progress.

All hail the conquering central bankers - or else

Janet Yellen
If you are unclear what's happening, frankly, you aren't paying attention. The central banks, at the urging of the World Economic Forum, have come from behind the shadows to assert their will over the world.

In order to create the imprimatur of depth and sincerity Fungal President Joe Biden tapped former FOMC Chair Janet Yellen as his Treasury Secretary.

It doesn't matter that Yellen was the architect of the worst recovery in history or that her incessant dithering on ending QE and raising rates. She's a woman. Right?

The only good thing about Yellen at Treasury is that Steve "Mr. Goldman" Mnuchin is gone. All Mnuchin did at Treasury was ensure the outsourcing of monetary policy to Blackrock through the loan programs of the CARES Act and sanction anyone who didn't pay Goldman enough Tribute.

So, from that perspective, I guess, Yellen is an upgrade. Because she's just an incompetent career bureaucrat. But what this means is that since personnel is policy in D.C. the central banks will become the center of policy.

New biography of Ghislaine Maxwell's monstrous father reveals why she will never throw dead lover Jeffrey Epstein to the wolves

Despite fraudster Robert Maxwell's frequent cruelty, Ghislaine remained a doting daughter, having learned her misguided loyalty to grotesque men from her mother, who suffered years of terrible abuse from the man she worshipped.

As socialite Ghislaine Maxwell languishes in the same Manhattan jail in which her ex-boyfriend, paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, hung himself, a recent biography of her fraudster father suggests the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

But it's not her father, the world-class blowhard, bullying conman 'Captain' Bob Maxwell from whom her character seems to have stemmed; it's her mother, the demure and insanely devoted Betty.

The (New Normal) War on Domestic Terror

If you enjoyed the Global War on Terror, you're going to love the new War on Domestic Terror! It's just like the original Global War on Terror, except that this time the "Terrorists" are all "Domestic Violent Extremists" ("DVEs"), "Homegrown Violent Extremists" ("HVEs"), "Violent Conspiracy-Theorist Extremists" ("VCTEs"), "Violent Reality Denialist Extremists" (VRDEs"), "Insurrectionary Micro-Aggressionist Extremists" ("IMAEs"), "People Who Make Liberals Feel Uncomfortable" ("PWMLFUs"), and anyone else the Department of Homeland Security wants to label an "extremist" and slap a ridiculous acronym on.

According to a "National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin" issued by the DHS on January 27, these DCEs, HVEs, VCTEs, VRDEs, IMAEs, and PWMLFUs are "ideologically-motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority" and other "perceived grievances fueled by false narratives." They are believed to be "motivated by a range of issues, including anger over Covid-19 restrictions, the 2020 election results, police use of force," and other dangerous "false narratives" (e.g., the existence of the "deep state," "herd immunity," "biological sex," "God," and so on).

Comment: Well here might be something hopeful to say - and that is that this New Normal / Great Reset / Totalitarian takeover is bound - and we mean - bound to fail - by its own design. It is such a bad proposition that the whole new set of diktats will turn back on their creators in splendorous style; it is THAT wrong-headed. History has shown us the lessons of these types of developments over and over again. Yes there has been, and will very likely be, an incredible amount of harm perpetrated in the process - but some (and perhaps many of us) can get through this troubling time if we remain aware, alert, networked and prepared (as much as possible) for the continued turmoil to come.

And then one day, with any luck, and by the grace of God, we may live to tell the tale of what we witnessed.

Propaganda alert! How to deprogram American's extremists

It will take an all-out national effort to dismantle the radicalization pipeline that has planted conspiracy theories in the heads of millions of Americans and inspired last month's attack on the Capitol, experts tell Axios' Kyle Daly.

Two key measures that could make a difference:
  • Keeping extremists out of the institutions where they could do the greatest damage — like the military, police departments and legislatures.
  • Providing help for those who have embraced dangerous ideologies.

Comment: Good idea. But they're going after the wrong extremists. The ones to worry about are the ones doing the purging.


Online platforms, meanwhile, must be unwavering in their commitment to root out conspiracy theories and lies that undermine faith in democracy, according to experts interviewed by Axios.
  • Radicalization and counterterrorism experts broadly applaud tech companies' efforts, now under way, to remove this material and the accounts that spread it off their platforms, despite heavy blowback from conservatives.
  • Twitter's decision to ban former President Trump is seen on its own as a major asset in the fight to slow or reverse radicalization.

Comment: Seems a tad...totalitarian, no? And banning Trump will not reverse or slow radicalization. If anything, it will create more of it than existed before (which wasn't very much on the right, at least not when compared to leftist radicalization, which is everywhere).


The U.S. needs a "Marshall Plan against domestic extremism," Daniel Koehler, director of the German Institute on Radicalization and De-radicalization Studies, told Axios.

Comment: Looks like re-education camps are coming!

The Philippines' new military chief says Manila will increase naval forces to protect fishermen after China tells its coast guard to fire on boats in territorial waters it claims.

Manila's announcement comes at a time of rising tensions in the region and with two US carrier strike groups currently in the South China Sea on joint exercises.

The Philippines have objected to an "alarming" new Chinese law that came into effect on February 1 that allows its coast guard to open fire during incursions by vessels into waters Beijing claims for itself.

Georgia election officials have opened up an investigation into former President Donald Trump's January phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which Trump urged him to "find" votes so he could overturn the result of the state's presidential election.

"The investigation was prompted by a complaint from George Washington University law professor John Banzhaf III," the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. "By opening the inquiry, the secretary of state's law enforcement investigators will be looking into allegations involving Raffensperger, who is their boss. Election investigations can take months or years before they're referred to the State Election Board, where Raffensperger is the chairman."

The Fire This Time

Can't we just all get along? No, apparently. Branding everyone to the right of Woke a "terrorist" and an "insurrectionist," as is the style these days with the sore winner party, will probably not warm a whole lot of hearts and minds among the politically disenchanted. It comes with an odor of desperation, too, as if Joe Biden's consolidated Deep State is so lacking in confidence, even in victory, that it can't distinguish policy from punishment — and so the beatings will continue until morale improves.

Outside the razor-wired DC perimeter, with its bomb-proof bureaucracy, the economy is in freefall. This has not quite come to the attention of a new regime aroused over systemic racism and the pressing need to expand athletic opportunity for transsexuals. But an inferno is racing across the land like a prairie fire and the remaining American buffalo out there may be inclined to stampede before long. Can Ol' White Joe hear their distant hoofbeats from the Oval Office? Maybe not with Nancy Pelosi and AOC screaming in his ears.
