The US denied reports that Iran had informed the US that it would refrain from responding to the airstrike in which senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commanders were killed in Damascus if a ceasefire in Gaza is reached.

On Sunday, Jadeh Iran cited an anonymous Arab diplomatic source as saying that Iran had made such an offer, noting that the source spoke to the news outlet two days ago. The source added that "If America succeeds in containing the situation, it will be a great success for the Biden administration and we can build on that."

"I can tell you that those reports are not true; they have not sent that message," said US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller on Monday. "But if Iran wants a ceasefire in Gaza, that ought to be something that they can accomplish because they have long supported Hamas, and they could press Hamas that they should accept the deal that is on the table that would achieve a ceasefire."

The report came as negotiations for a ceasefire and hostage release deal resume between Israel and Hamas in Cairo and as Israel continues preparations for a possible response to the Damascus airstrike that Syria and Iran blamed on Israel.

UN & Bill Gates behind "digital public infrastructure" for global control

Dozens of national governments are joining with the United Nations and billionaire population-control fanatic Bill Gates on a global program to impose "digital public infrastructure" (DPI) on their citizens within five years. This "DPI" includes central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), digital identification, comprehensive data systems, and more, all functional across national borders.

The new scheme, unveiled late last year and moving ahead rapidly, is known as "50 in 5" because 50 governments expect to have the Orwellian "digital infrastructure" of tyranny in place within five years. Almost a dozen governments, including numerous corrupt kleptocracies and socialist regimes, have volunteered their populations to serve as "First Mover" countries so far.

However, the UN's assumption is that every government will eventually impose this on every person on Earth. This is clearly expressed throughout its announcements. "All countries, regardless of income level, geography, or where they are in their digital transformation journey, can benefit from being a part of 50-in-5," the UN agency behind the scheme declared. "Joining the campaign helps ensure countries don't have to tackle DPI implementation alone or start from scratch."

Desperados... NATO cranks up false-flag mode

It's open season for false-flag provocations in NATO's proxy war against Russia in Ukraine.

Russia is winning the war - now in its third year - and the NATO weapons laundering scam with its NeoNazi regime in Ukraine is coming apart. So what to do?

Only two weeks after a terror attack near Moscow that killed 144 civilians, which the Western media roundly attributed to Islamist jihadists and Western governments categorically asserted had nothing to do with the Ukrainian regime it sponsors, there now follows a spate of other false flags.

Russia is being accused of dropping chemical weapons on Ukrainian soldiers while also trying to blow up Europe's biggest civilian nuclear power plant.

Over the weekend, Western media reports bore the hallmark signs of disinformation campaigns by peddling lame claims that the Russian military was dropping gas grenades on Ukrainian troops.

It was reported that chemical weapons were being used daily to target Ukrainian positions near Lyman and Chasiv Yar in Donetsk Oblast. The source of this information was purportedly an "American combat medic" serving in the ranks of the Ukrainian armed forces. That detail alone raises suspicion of planted disinformation.

The second realm of cloying propaganda is the sudden reappearance of reports that the Zaporozyhe Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) is coming under constant artillery fire from drones. Those attacks had gone into a lull since last year. Now they are back, as if by clockwork.

Western media have repeated their earlier pattern of trying to make out that it is not clear whether it is the Ukrainian or the Russian side that is firing on the ZNPP - thereby risking a nuclear catastrophe that would engulf Europe from radioactive fallout.

Best of the Web: Alastair Crooke: The Art of War: Russia, the West, and different thinking systems

© Al MayadeenJust as the West failed to understand Russia, and was taken by surprise, so it is that the White House firmly ignores the Biblical 'End of Times' dimension to the Israeli 'way of thinking about war'.
Jacques Baud, a Swiss military officer with a long history of studying 'Ways of Thinking' about War (from Warsaw Pact to NATO -- to which he was seconded by his government), has written a new book -- The Russian Art of War: How the West Led Ukraine to Defeat. His book theme is essentially: Others understand the West, better than the West understands 'Them'.

Baud writes that the fundamental reason for the West having the 'blinkers on' is "the result of an approach we have already seen in waves of terrorist attacks — the adversary is so stupidly demonized that we refrain from understanding his way of thinking. As a result, we are unable to develop strategies, articulate our forces, or even equip them for the realities of war".

Comment: The following are some recent, worthwhile interviews with Jacques Baud:

Korybko: US tightening its containment noose around China in the first island chain

The latest military moves prove that America is preparing to "Pivot (back) to Asia" once the NATO-Russian proxy war in Ukraine inevitably ends, which means that global tensions won't abate anytime soon as the New Cold War becomes the new normal.

The stage is set for Japan to participate in AUKUS' Pillar II advanced capability projects (AI, hypersonic weapons, electronic warfare, underwater drones, quantum technologies, and space-tracking radar) after that bloc's Defense Ministers signaled their interest in this in Monday's joint statement. It was released ahead of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's trip to DC this week, which he described as occurring at an "historic turning point", where he'll also take part in the first-ever trilateral summit with the Philippines.

CNN hyped up the latter event by publishing a piece about how these three are coming together as a result of their shared concerns about China, though the reality is that their military convergence isn't as motivated by innocent defensive interests as they made it seem. China's three separate disputes with Japan, its wayward province of Taiwan, and the Philippines have been presented by the West as part of a hegemonic push by the People's Republic for dominance in the Asia-Pacific.

Comment: As Putin said in his interview with Tucker Carlson:
Tucker Carlson: [...] But have never explained why you think that happened, except to say that the West fears a strong Russia. But we have a strong China that the West doesn't seem to be very afraid of. What about Russia, what do you think convinced the policymakers to take it down?

Vladimir Putin: The West is afraid of a strong China more than it fears a strong Russia because Russia has 150 million people, and China has a 1.5 billion population, and its economy is growing by leaps and bounds — over five percent a year, it used to be even more.

Business as usual: US pledges to prevent Russia from developing new energy projects

Geoffrey Pyatt in Maidan
From the days, when Geoffrey Pyatt was instrumental with Victoria Nuland in fomenting the Maidan coup in Ukraine.
The US is aiming to halt the development of the Russian energy sector, including a major new LNG project in the Arctic, senior State Department official Geoffrey Pyatt has said.

Speaking at a Financial Times summit on Monday, Pyatt stated that the US is specifically targeting the Arctic LNG 2 project in Russia's northern Yamal Region, which is being developed by private energy giant Novatek.

"Our goal is to ensure that Arctic LNG 2 is dead in the water," Pyatt, who serves as assistant secretary of state for energy resources, was quoted as saying by the British newspaper. "We're very focused on ensuring that Russia is not able to develop new projects in order to [redirect] the gas that it had previously sent into Europe."

The US has imposed several rounds of economic restrictions on Arctic LNG 2, the most recent of which was announced in November 2023.


Comment: So the imperative is for the EU to not get cheap gas from Russia?


Comment: As project Ukraine is collapsing, the US tries to make sure that the EU will stay depressed too and only get expensive gas from the US. Such a malevolent plan will undoubtedly fail too, though it gives in the process, the citizens of the EU yet another chance to see that the US deep state is not their friend.

Former President Donald Trump said in a Monday announcement that he believes abortion should be left to the states and that in-vitro fertilization (IFV) should be available, he said in a video statement posted on Truth Social.

"My view is...the states will determine by legislation or vote or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land. In this case, the law of the state. Many states will be different, many will have a different number of weeks or some will have more conservative than others, and that's what they will be. At the end of the day, this is all about the will of the people," Trump said. "You must follow your heart or, in may cases, your religion or your faith. Do what's right for your family and do what's right for yourself...do what's right for our country."

Sunday marked the six-month anniversary of the Israel-Hamas war, with Tel Aviv finding itself increasingly isolated abroad, and the Israeli military humbled after getting bogged down in the ruins of Gaza's cities by militants armed mostly with automatic rifles and RPGs. What, if anything has 'Operation Swords of Iron' achieved in six months?

The Israel Defense Forces announced Sunday that the "active invasion stage" of its campaign in Gaza had reached its end, withdrawing elements of Division 98 from Khan Yunis, southern Gaza while marking the intention to continue the occupation the strip's central and northern areas using forces from the 162nd Division's Brigade 401 and the 933rd Nahal Brigade.

"The 98th Commando Division has concluded its mission in Khan Yunis," the IDF said in a statement. "The division left the Gaza Strip in order to recuperate and prepare for future operations."

Russian law enforcement has uncovered a potential link between Ukrainian special services and last month's terrorist attack at a music hall outside Moscow, the Investigative Committee said on Monday.

The statement was released after a meeting chaired by Aleksandr Bastrykin, head of the Russian agency, where progress in the high-profile case was discussed. The report declined to provide details on what was said at the gathering, only citing "significant evidence" of Kiev's involvement and repeating information that was already publicly available.

The attack involved four gunmen, who stormed Crocus City Hall ahead of a concert. They made their way to the main auditorium, shooting indiscriminately, and set the building on fire. Over 140 people were killed.

Jesse Watters Reveals the corruption

Jesse Watters ran a devastating segment last night on radical Judge Juan Merchan who silenced President Donald Trump from talking about his family's financial ties to the current junk case he is presiding over against Donald Trump in New York City.

Judge Merchan should be impeached for this lawlessness. This is peak corruption and cannot stand.
