Comment: Possibly the strongest words given at the UN criticizing US policy and leadership since Venezuela's Chavez "smelled sulfur in the room" - though Putin has certainly delivered some serious critiques a time or two as well.

Comment: Excerpt of US President Joe Biden, addressing the Plenary at the United Nations in New York:


Other remarks by Commander-in-Chief Joe Biden:

President Joe Biden has told the UN General Assembly that the US' "period of relentless war" is over.

Biden painted the US' disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan as a success, given that the two-decade war was finally brought to an end under his watch.

Conflict was a central theme of Biden's speech, and he described the coming decade as "an inflection point in history."

The US will refocus its priorities on the Indo-Pacific region, Biden stated, before claiming that he was not seeking a "new Cold War" - despite increasing tensions with China. However, while Biden promised to "do so with our allies and partners through cooperation and multilateral institutions," his recently unveiled security partnership between the US, UK, and Australia has left America's European allies snubbed.

In keeping with his campaign messaging of a more cooperative US on the world stage, Biden called on his fellow leaders to work together to fight climate change and the "borderless" threat of Covid-19. The American president delivered a globalist message of international cooperation highlighting his administration's rekindling of ties with the World Health Organization and rejoining of the Paris climate agreement, as well as a pledge to spend $100 billion on helping the developing world combat global warming.

Back in the realm of military affairs, Biden stressed that the winding down of the 'War on Terror' will not mean the end of the US' fight against terrorism.

"Those who commit acts of terrorism against us will continue to find a determined enemy in the United States. Today, we're better equipped to detect and prevent terrorist threats and we are more resilient in our ability to repel them and to respond."

Biden, however, has drawn scathing criticism for the confusion surrounding the US evaluation of Kabul that allowed an ISIS-K suicide bomber to kill 13 US troops at the city's overcrowded airport last month, and for a retaliatory drone strike that wiped out a family of Afghan civilians, killing zero terrorists.

While ISIS-K and Al-Qaeda members are reportedly operating in Afghanistan once again, Biden's anti-terror crusade will also seemingly focus on his own citizens. Echoing the words of former President George W. Bush:

"We must also remain vigilant to the threat of terror that terrorism poses to all our nations, whether emanating from distant regions of the world or in our own backyard. There is little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home," whom he called "children of the same foul spirit."

Despite what many see as a humiliating retreat from Afghanistan, amid diplomatic fury over his latest security deal, and even with his approval ratings plummeting in a divided US, Biden closed his half-hour speech on an optimistic note.

"I stand here today, the first time in 20 years the United States is not at war. We've turned the page. All the unmatched strength, energy, commitment, will and resources, our nation are now fully and squarely focused on what's ahead of us, not what was behind."

US reparations? Not a word - a hollow man of sound and fury signifying nothing.

Comment: Rep. Adam Schiff and other Dems reveal their new legislation, however, a nonstop rant on Trump overshadows every aspect of the bill, aimed to deflect the current presidential fiasco in office.


Washington Post had previously outlined some of the bill's aspects:

Schiff, Nadler and Lofgren are co-authors of the bill, along with Oversight Chairwoman Carolyn B. Maloney (D-N.Y.), Budget Chairman John Yarmuth (D-Ky.), Ways and Means Chairman Richard E. Neal (D-Mass.), and Foreign Affairs Chairman Eliot L. Engel (D-N.Y.).

The bill gives the independent Office of Special Counsel express authority to investigate suspected violations of the Hatch Act, and issue fines of up to $50,000 for every violation that the president fails to discipline himself.

The package mirrors several measures to better regulate the relationship between the White House and Justice Department, which Democrats believe has been too cozy under the leadership of Trump and Attorney General William P. Barr. It reflects a proposal from Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) requiring the attorney general to keep a log of certain communications with the White House and periodically share it with the DOJ inspector general and Congress, and a bill from Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) exempting the time a president or vice president spends in office from the statute of limitations for any federal crime. Nadler's measure seeks to ensure that the Justice Department's policy against indicting sitting presidents does not become a means for avoiding prosecution entirely.

The measure also includes several provisions to limit the president's ability to interfere with congressional appropriations, by putting a time limit on emergency declarations and prohibiting the president from holding back congressionally-approved funding any later than 90 days before it expires — a change that aims to close a loophole the administration has used to effectively cancel unspent funds, particularly foreign aid, near the end of the fiscal year.

Comment: The assessment that this bill is dead on arrival is a good one - not only due to the unrealistic defunding of fossil fuel procurement but also its maze of regulatory protocols that ensure a financial overlord manages the 'environmental' shut-down mechanism over the 21st century as leverage replaces choice. Take a look.

Comment: High risk? That would be taking the shot.

Comment: Hero to Zero: No good deed goes unpunished. It is an upside-down world.

Comment: That the announcement has been made means that it's likely that a group, if not a number of groups, including the US, and Russia, have a satellite in orbit with these capabilities. The suggestion that Russia would use a weapon like this to neutralize aggressive maneuvers seems to be congruent with Russian defense policy and capabilities, but it's the US that has the track record of endless crimes of aggression.

This announcement has more credence because in January 2019 the Russian ministry announced that the US had returned to its 'Star Wars' missile defense plans, and then in April it warned that the US might 'preemptively' strike Russia and China with its space weapons; then in November 2019 there was a rather suspect blast at a Russian facility that killed at least seven people. Putin had this to say at the time about the top secret project working on a weapon 'unequaled in the world':

"We're talking about the most advanced and cutting-edge technical ideas and solutions, unequaled anywhere in the world; the weapon that is entitled to ensure sovereignty, security of Russia for decades to come."

The possession of such technology by Russia is "the most important, reliable guarantee of peace on the planet. And, no matter what, we'll certainly keep improving this weaponry," the president promised.

Days later Russia announced it had launched an "inspection" satellite into orbit, and by July 2020 the US was accusing Russia of testing an anti-satellite weapon in space: Watch Russian military put another top secret "inspection" satellite into orbit
