A recently leaked study reveals the extent to which the British government wants to manipulate public opinion in the Balkan countries. And there are no prizes for guessing who is getting portrayed as 'the bad guy'...

Among a tranche of leaked UK government documents related to covert actions in the Balkans is a fascinating secret study, conducted by professional services firm WYG and pollster Ipsos, which discusses methods of countering negative perceptions of Whitehall among the region's constituent countries, and the type of propaganda that should be used to manipulate citizens' perspectives.

The target audience analysis (TAA) offered four "programming recommendations" that would offer "potential routes" to achieving London's "wider objectives", among them boosting "positive perceptions" of the UK, EU accession and NATO membership in the Balkans, and "[countering] malign influence by third parties." These were: promoting media literacy among young citizens; supporting "independent"media; funding initiatives to expose "fake news"; and promoting "historical 'friendship' narratives" about the UK's links to the region.

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) on Sunday accused health experts of "hyperbole" and "exaggeration" in regards to the current COVID-19 surge brought on by the more infectious delta variant.

During an appearance on Fox News Sunday, McMaster affirmed to guest host Dana Perino that he would not be enacting a statewide mask mandate and when it came to vaccinations the governor said he would let residents "make their decision" based on information provided to them.

Perino noted that South Carolina has recently seen increases in the number of COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths, with cases rising by over 250 percent and hospitalizations rising by more than 120 percent.

The Russian people have successfully managed to foil the latest attempt by the Global Covid Party to enforce its most current list of restrictions and vaccinations. The covid restrictions were unleashed June 16, while Putin was away at the Geneva summit. Moscow Mayor Sobyanin announced that QR codes would be required to enter all cafés and restaurants, and followed this up with demands for mandatory vaccination. But Russians continue to refuse to comply; by now they have found many ways to beat the system, the simplest solution being to avoid (and thus bankrupt) collaborating restaurants. The Mandatory Vaxx Regime brings new conspirators (like Alexei Navalny, the Russian Guaido presently in jail for swindling) and old school Kremlin propagandists into a rare (and suspicious) agreement. Now they all excrete New York mainstream media.

Many loyal Putinists were disappointed and aggrieved by the actions of Moscow's Mayor; they spoke of treason and of abject surrender to US Dems. The people began to grumble that they would be voting Communist in the upcoming (September 19, 2021) Parliamentary elections. President Putin tried his best to stay above the fray, but recognizing that the Covid Party is actively arranging his political demise, he took steps to rescue his loyalists. Putin publicly called for the mayor to drop the restrictions, and then behind the scenes he had them removed. The QR codes have dried up, and peace has returned to Russian society only one month after the restrictions were announced. The vaccination effort goes on, but it is voluntary. Barring unexpected developments, Russia has passed through the pandemic trial with flying colours, in typically Russian style ("Give a candle to God and a poker to Satan"). People fell ill and died, as always, but there were no disturbances, no riots, and Putin continues to outperform his challengers, in word and in deed.

A Conservative revolt is threatening Boris Johnson's plans to introduce domestic vaccine passports to gain entry to domestic venues and events.

Downing Street is pushing for vaccine passports to be required for entry into large-scale events - amid fears that allowing large numbers of unvaccinated people in an enclosed space could spread the virus.


But Andrew Bridgen, one of the 43 Tories who previously signed a declaration opposing vaccine passports, accused the Conservative Party of "trying to aggressively coerce young people" into getting coronavirus jabs.

A Romanian Captain and a British security officer were killed by a suicide drone attack on the M/T Mercer Street oil tanker - a Liberian-flagged, Japanese-owned ship that is part of the Zodiac Group of Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer- sailing from Tanzania towards the United Arab Emirates. The first attack on the tanker caused only material damage but was followed by a second attack where the command and control tower was hit to cause human casualties. Al-Alam TV said the attack responded to an Israeli attack on al-Dab'aa airport in Syria where Iranian and Lebanese Hezbollah were killed and wounded. Therefore, the Israeli attack represents a change of the Rule of Engagement (ROE), violating the limit of acceptance in the ongoing conflict and pushing Iran to start a "campaign between wars," expected to increase in intensity in the future. What is shocking to Israel is that, for the first time, Iran showed how linked all theaters are and how an Israeli hit is met with an unexpected response in the Oman Sea.

Israel had carried out over a thousand strikes against targets in Syria during the decade of war against the Syrian army and targets belonging to the "Axis of the Resistance." However, Israel's only objective result was to enlarge the influence of the "Axis of the Resistance" in the Levant - that won the destructive war and defeated the Takfiri groups (ISIS and al-Qaeda) and the different Syrian groups supported by [Persian] Gulf and western countries. The "Axis of the Resistance" enlarged and consolidated its influence on Iraq and Yemen, forming a robust front against Israel and its allies.

On Friday, The New York Times claimed it had obtained the handwritten notes from a post-election meeting between then-President Donald Trump and acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue. Those notes, according to the Times, reveal that when Donoghue "warned that the department had no power to change the outcome of the election," Trump "replied that he did not expect that." "'Just say that the election was corrupt + leave he rest to me' and to congressional allies," the Times reported Donoghue's handwritten notes as stating.

However, a review of the notes from that December 27, 2020 meeting, provided by the Biden administration to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform and posted on the latter's webpage, expose the Times as once again a purveyor of fake news.

While the Times claimed the above exchange occurred during a phone call in which Trump "pressed" Rosen and Donoghue "on voter fraud claims that the department had disproved," the "just say that the election was corrupt" comment came in an entirely different portion of the discussion, the handwritten notes establish.

A Big Tech-led group is using its influence and power to broaden its shared censorship database to curb "extremist content" and collect video and images deemed white supremacist, according to Reuters. The expansion comes after the group "took on renewed urgency" after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, which Democrats and tech giants continue to use as an excuse to justify suppression.

Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter, and YouTube, tech oligarchs trigger-happy to deplatform political dissidents, founded the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism in 2017 in what they labeled "a new collective effort to prevent the spread of terrorist and violent extremist content online."

Initially, the organization claimed to focus its efforts on rounding up content from terrorist organizations such as the Islamic State and the Taliban as designated by the United Nations, but now the monopolies running GIFCT are using their oligarch power to crack down on dissidents of their elitist agenda.

Just five years after its founding, GIFCT is expanding its database to include "white supremacist" content as determined by the United Nation's Tech Against Terrorism project and intelligence groups such as Five Eyes. According to Reuters, the database will include "attacker manifestos — often shared by sympathizers after white supremacist violence" as well as links and material from Proud Boys, Three Percenters, and other "neo-Nazi" groups that are identified and then censored or removed by social media platforms.

For a long time, Russia and Israel avoided clashes in Syria, where their interests overlap. After Moscow introduced its forces into Syrian territory in 2015, it took into account Israeli interests related to the security of the Jewish state. Israel appreciated Russia's position and tried to make the best of the situation by avoiding clashes of Russian-Israeli interests in Syria. Moreover, Israel used Russia's military intervention in Syria to reach military and political understanding with Moscow, knowing full well that Russia will play an influential role in the region only if it can find a balance between the interests of its allies on the one hand and Israel as a regional power on the other.

However, it is no secret that Israel has recently gone too far in pursuing its interests in Syria, which has led the Russian side to regard Tel Aviv's behavior there as irresponsible. Let's recall the beginning of the year when the Israeli side launched several missile strikes against Syria, including against an Iranian military facility near a Russian military outpost, causing some damage to Russia. At the same time, the coordination introduced earlier between Israeli and Russian forces did not work efficiently: Tel Aviv informed Moscow of the strike only minutes before it struck, which prevented Moscow from withdrawing its forces from the area, thus endangering them.

According to David Vestenskov, the withdrawal of Western forces and the advance of the Taliban leaves the country with bleak prospects that include a fundamentalist Islamist regime or a complete chaos and a civil war in the already war-torn country.

The Taliban's advances in Afghanistan after the West's withdrawal is currently sending thousands of Afghans fleeing westward, David Vestenskov, a Defence Academy chief consultant who has been monitoring the situation in Afghanistan for ten years, told Danish Radio.

"Afghans are fleeing because the system that has been built over the past 20 years is being phased out," he ventured. "The West chose to withdraw without any political agreements or prospects for political agreements. That leaves a security vacuum," he said, predicting that will be exploited not only by the Taliban, but by numerous ethnic groups.

We are now a year-and-a-half into what may well be the most insidious agenda ever in human history. It is no exaggeration to say that through mass psychological terror waged upon whole populations, millions of people have agreed to things being done to them, on the basis that they were for their good, but which were a trap from which — barring the grace of God — escape is nigh on impossible.

Let's rid ourselves of the idea that any of what has happened over the last 18 months has been about a public health issue. Had Governments and media not constantly told you that there was a deadly pandemic around, you'd never have noticed. In 1967/8, when a virus with a similar Infection Fatality Rate hit the world, people knew there was a bad flu about, but that was that. Yet through the absurd idea that our virus has some magical properties which means it can be transmitted by those who have no symptoms, a level of fear and hysteria was created that was inversely proportional to the actual threat from a virus with a 99.98% survival rate.

But what about the deaths? The first thing to say is that all-cause mortality in most countries was not out of the ordinary last year. In England, age standardised, all-cause mortality factoring in population growth was about the same as 2008. As for the deaths from/with Covid-19, not only was the way these were counted utterly misleading, something far more sinister occurred. Effective treatments, which could have prevented up to 85% of deaths, were deliberately suppressed and censored, whilst medicines such as Midazolam and Remdesivir, which can cause respiratory problems, were given to people with the Covid-pneumonia respiratory illness. Suppression of treatments and allocation of entirely the wrong medication are why the official Covid death numbers are so high.
