The Taliban have claimed a huge symbolic victory after their fighters seized a large city for the first time in northern Afghanistan as part of a seemingly unstoppable offensive in which they have captured five provincial capitals in just three days.

Comment: It would appear that part of the reason the Taliban have covered so much ground and so quickly is because a great many Afghans mistrust the Kabul administration and consider the Taliban to be a more viable and trustworthy political entity. As a Taliban spokesman stated recently, "it's not possible to take 150 districts in just six weeks by fighting," and, when we consider that the US made little progress in 20 years despite spending billions of dollars and sacrificing over a hundred thousand civilian lives, it's likely he has a point.

Moreover, reflecting not only Afghanistan's strategic importance but also the Taliban's current and future role in the country, Russia has been meeting with Kabul officials and the Taliban since at least 2018, with one particular meeting also involving the US, China, and Pakistan, and, more recently, China hosted the Taliban for discussions about the "peace, reconciliation and reconstruction process".

Armed men swept into Kunduz on Sunday, a strategic city close to the border with Tajikistan and an important political and military hub. By mid-morning they controlled the city centre while pro-government forces retreated to the nearby airport. Residents fled as smoke from the city's burning market engulfed the sky.

Videos posted by Taliban fighters showed the city's abandoned police compound, complete with cars and its main security and intelligence buildings intact. "The enemy left behind vehicles, weapons and equipment," tweeted the Taliban's spokesperson, Zabihullah Mujahid, promising further advances.

"He's a pathological liar': Cornell chemistry professor Dave Collum unloads on Dr. Fauci and covid hysteria

Friend of Zero Hedge and Cornell Professor Dave Collum appeared on the Quoth the Raven podcast this week and offered his unfiltered (and often profane) 2 hour-long take not only on the development of the Delta variant hysteria, but also on Dr. Fauci, vaccinations and the state of lockdowns across the globe.

Collum is the Betty R. Miller Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Cornell University and holds a PhD, Columbia University, MS, Columbia University, MA, Columbia University and BS, Cornell University.

The duo of Collum and podcast host Chris Irons first talked about Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the chief medical advisor to the president, whom Collum referred to as a "pathological liar".

When asked about the FOIA request for Fauci's emails, Collum responded:

"They were heavily redacted. One could only imagine what the redaction was. I got the feeling, reading the emails, Fauci was smart enough to know to not, himself, say anything. So Fauci didn't say incriminating things, it was emails to Fauci that were incriminating."

Leaked document reveals 'shocking' terms of Pfizer's international vaccine agreements - Children's Health Defense

Fri, 06 Aug 2021 00:00 UTC

Vaccine makers have nothing to lose by marketing their experimental COVID-19 shots, even if they cause serious injury and death, as they enjoy full indemnity against injuries occurring from COVID-19 vaccines or any other pandemic vaccine under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act, passed in the U.S. in 2005.

The full extent of their COVID-19 vaccine indemnification agreements with countries, however, is a closely guarded secret, one that has remained highly confidential — until now. A leaked document broken down by Twitter user Ehden reveals the shocking terms of Pfizer's international COVID-19 vaccine agreements. He wrote:

"These agreements are confidential, but luckily one country did not protect the contract document well enough, so I managed to get a hold of a copy. As you are about to see, there is a good reason why Pfizer was fighting to hide the details of these contracts."

Comment: There are those who watch and report, hoping more will wake up to 'herd awareness' and help turn the tide:

The World Economic Forum and the misleading politics of gender equality

The annual release of the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Index (GGGI) often provokes consternation and lamentations among journalists, politicians, and activists about the supposedly sorry position of women in the world today. According to the most recent GGGI report, and due in part to the effects of COVID-19 on women's employment, "Another generation of women will have to wait for gender parity." Time magazine uncritically repeated the report's conclusion, noting that:

"it will take an average of 135.6 years for women and men to reach parity on a range of factors worldwide, instead of the 99.5 years outlined in the 2020 report."

A more strident example is provided by an opinion piece in the Sydney Morning Herald that excoriated Australians for their ongoing mistreatment of women:

This failure of policy reflects government indifference to the fact that Australia is a society in which women are actively marginalised and held back. Perhaps the most telling statistical outcome from the 2021 GGGI is that Australia ranks equal first for educational attainment among women and girls, but 70th for economic participation and opportunity ... The state of gender equality in Australia is, put simply, shameful. And it's getting worse, at a rapid pace.

CNN's strange Wuhan lab story suggests US spies hacked Chinese database, hints probe into Covid-19 origins may take longer

RT

A bizarre CNN story about the ongoing US intelligence investigation of Covid-19's origins that relies on anonymous sources, and seems to make excuses for the spies coming up short, also manages to accuse the US of hacking China.

In a progress report of sorts on the 90-day investigation into the coronavirus origins - with which US spies were tasked back in May - a trio of CNN reporters mainly makes excuses for why it might not be completed in time, and could require another three months.

The spies are "digging through a treasure trove of genetic data" that contains "genetic blueprints drawn from virus samples studied at the lab in Wuhan, China," says the report, referring to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

While "it's unclear exactly how or when US intelligence agencies gained access to the information," the computers where such data is stored "are typically connected to external cloud-based servers - leaving open the possibility they were hacked," CNN's sources reportedly said.

Comment: The best lies are based on facts. Any 'truth' here has been released for a purpose.

Families of 9/11 victims tell Biden not to attend memorials until he honors pledge to declassify docs on 'possible Saudi role'

RT
Fri, 06 Aug 2021 23:51 UTC

Relatives of victims in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks have disinvited President Joe Biden from their memorial services, saying he must first keep his promise to declassify evidence they think may implicate Saudi officials.

In a statement signed by nearly 1,800 people, family members and survivors of the attack said on Friday:

"We understand President Biden's desire to mark the solemn occasion of the 20th anniversary at Ground Zero; however, we cannot in good faith - and with veneration to those lost, sick and injured - welcome the president to our hallowed grounds until he fulfills his commitment."

At issue are documents related to the alleged role of Saudi Arabian officials in aiding the September 11 attackers. Democrat and Republican administrations alike have kept the evidence secret, citing national security. While running for president last October, Biden pledged to direct his attorney general to examine the merits of cases in which 9/11 documents have been kept classified based on the so-called "state-secrets privilege."

Questioned about the issue at a press briefing on Friday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Biden remains committed to his promise to ensure that the state-secrets privilege isn't being invoked improperly, but she added that "of course, any steps would be taken by the Department of Justice."

Comment: The events of 9/11 haven't been secreted away for no reason. They are tangible evidence of an ongoing plan, now rapidly unfolding.

'Liberal elites are laughing at us!' Obama's 'scaled back' 60th birthday party draws celeb guests and ire from conservatives

RT
Sun, 08 Aug 2021 03:54 UTC

Dozens of celebrities, politicians and other 'close friends' have reportedly flocked to former US president Barack Obama's mansion for a 'maskless' birthday party, triggering a tsunami of criticism from conservatives.

The original guest list for the weekend getaway allegedly included some 475 people, but a number of celebrities and former Obama administration officials were disinvited after the feast was slammed as hypocritical and dangerous amid the ongoing surge of the Covid-19 Delta variant.

The downsized event was supposedly limited to only the closest friends and family, 'most' of whom were expected to be vaccinated, while a special Covid-coordinator had been hired to ensure the party doesn't turn into a super-spreader event.

Ministry of Defense of Ukraine to meet athlete & armed forces sergeant after she hugged Russian rival who beat her to Olympic gold

Yaroslava Mahuchikh hugged Mariya Lasitskene

Ukraine's defense ministry will meet a high jumper "immediately" upon her return from Tokyo, condemning her hug with a Russian because of the civil conflict in the country's east, which it called the "Russian-Ukrainian war".

Comment: The Ukrainian defense minister needs to get a life, and a real job.

Bronze medalist Yaroslava Mahuchikh was involved in emotional scenes after beating beaten by champion Mariya Lasitskene at the Olympic Games, with both athletes grinning, hugging each other and draping themselves in their national colors in the arena.

Comment: This is a model for what the Olympics can be. But non-entities like those currently occupying Ukraine's government don't understand what it means to be human.

That provoked an angry response from some viewers, including accusations that the junior sergeant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine had brought shame upon her country by posing with the army athlete from CSKA.

"Athletes representing Ukraine at international competitions must understand that the Russian-Ukrainian war is ongoing in Ukraine and it imposes certain restrictions and responsibility," Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar said in a public Facebook post, adding that photos of the pair together had "caused an outrageous reaction in society".

"The careless behavior of our athletes, whom we love and for whom we sincerely cheer, may become the object of the enemy's information special operations.

"Together with that, please stop bullying Yaroslava until we hear her own explanation.

"[She] is currently in Tokyo. Immediately after her return, I have an appointment scheduled with her. I will report the results of the conversation."

Comment: Lenin must be proud of these deadbeats:

Lenin worked by a principle of anti-empathy, and this approach was to define Soviet ethics. I know of no other society, except those modeled on the one Lenin created, where schoolchildren were taught that mercy, kindness, and pity are vices. After all, these feelings might lead one to hesitate shooting a class enemy or denouncing one's parents. The word 'conscience' went out of use, replaced by 'consciousness' (in the sense of Marxist-Leninist ideological consciousness).

The bigger picture of Israeli cyber spying

We have been told to live in mortal fear of online hackers and, as the "cyber pandemic" narrative ramps up, the fear-mongering over Chinese, Russian and even North Korean cyberwarriors is going into overdrive.

Strange, then, given this climate of non-stop cybersecurity hysteria, that we rarely hear mention of one of the world's confirmed cyberhacking superpowers: Israel. Just as Israel's nuclear arsenal is the worst kept secret in the world, it seems that mention of Israel's cyber arsenal is strictly forbidden in the maintream press. But it is now undeniable that Israel is running one of the most sophisticated, pervasive and influential cyberhacking operations in the world.

The official silence on Israel's cyber espionage changed last month when the story of Pegasus — a piece of military-grade spyware developed by Israeli surveillance firm NSO Group — made headlines for all the wrong reasons. The software, as Haaretz and other MSM half-truth peddlers inform us, is able to hijack the phones of its victims, recording from the phone's cameras and microphone and collecting location data, call logs and contacts, all without the target's knowledge. And, as the consortium of dinosaur media publishers who were given access to this treasure trove of information report, it is being used by "oppressive regimes" to target "180 journalists" and even scoop up personal contact details of national misleaders like French President Emmanuel Macron and Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan.

But there are some very important things you never learned about the Pegasus story in the dinosaur media's coverage of it and, if you do rely on the lamestream media for your knowledge, there are a lot of things you won't know about the history of Israeli cyberspying. So today, let's take a look at the issue of Israel's high tech espionage.

The Pentagon believes AI can predict world events. As an ex-military intelligence analyst on Iraq & USSR, I'm more than skeptical

The US military is testing an AI-driven computerized precognition system designed to give decision makers the ability to accurately predict a crisis before it happens. If it sounds too good to be true, it's probably because it is.

As any Tom Cruise fan will tell you, claims of precognitive ability do not have happy endings. Steven Spielberg's 2002 film, Minority Report, drove that point home in spades. But that was fiction - no, worse than fiction: Hollywood fiction, where screenwriters and directors conspire to manufacture viscerally pleasing narratives populated by picture-perfect characters who resolve some of the world's most pressing problems in around two hours flat.

The Pentagon has been watching too many Hollywood films, it seems. Otherwise, how can one explain the attraction of something called the Global Information Dominance Experiments (or GIDE, a nod to the military's proclivity for acronyms).

Quote of the Day

"Allen Dulles's CIA believed in the power of ideas. It was easy for Dulles's Ivy League-educated executive team to understand why the Trujillo regime became so obsessed with a doctoral dissertation written by an obscure academic. They knew that ideas mattered: they floated like seeds on the wind, over mountains and seas, and took root in the most unexpected places. The Cold War was, in fact, a war of ideas, fought primarily in the realm of the symbolic, through propaganda campaigns and 'proxy' conflicts, instead of on battlegrounds where the superpowers clashed head-to-head."
