If the truth be told, we are getting sick and tired of the little piss-ant who runs the cease-pool of corruption, tyranny, delusion and death called Ukraine. This clown — and that's what he is actually trained as — just can't seem to stop stridently demanding money, arms and support from the rest of the world and lecturing everyone to fall into line or else.

In his actual clown days, of course, Volodymyr Zelensky was known for the act depicted below. But when it comes to the collective West, the latter seems to enjoy the fact that the Ukrainian president continues to bang away upon it, relentlessly pounding out a melody of me, me and more.

But lately Zelensky has really gone over the top, peddling the hideous canard that if we don't enable him to fight "them" over there with everything and all that he demands by way of money and weapons, we will soon bleed and die against "them" over here.

The US spy chief has touted his agency's efforts to undermine the Russian leadership...

America's top intelligence official has openly cheered the alleged internal discord that he claims is rising in Moscow because of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, saying the CIA has been given an historic opportunity to recruit spies and undermine President Vladimir Putin's government.

CIA director William Burns claimed on Saturday at a Ditchley Foundation lecture in the UK:
"Disaffection with the war will continue to gnaw away at the Russian leadership beneath the steady diet of state propaganda and practiced repression. That disaffection creates a once-in-a-generation opportunity for us at CIA, at our core a human intelligence service. We're not letting it go to waste."
Burns noted that the CIA launched a Telegram channel in May to recruit military officers, government officials and scientists who can provide intelligence on the Russian leadership and economy.
"We had 2.5 million views in the first week, and we're very much open for business."

China and Russia should hold more joint drills and continue working together in other areas to propel their military cooperation to a "new level," Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu said during talks with the head of the Russian Navy Nikolay Evmenov in Beijing on Monday.

Exchanges and cooperation between the armed forces of the two countries have been "developing steadily," but there's room for further improvement, Li told Evmenov, according to the Chinese Defense Ministry. He emphasized:
"Through joint work the relations between the two armed forces will continue to deepen and solidify, constantly make new progress, and move to a new level. It will strengthen communication at all levels, and regularly organize joint exercises... expand practical cooperation in professional fields.

"This cooperation will allow positive contributions to maintaining regional and world peace and stability."

"The diplomatic efforts, which were initiated with the Istanbul process and proceeded with captive exchanges, have unfortunately been obstructed and eroded by the war lobby," Erdogan stated.

Israel's bloodcurdling 'poison policy' to replace Palestinians with Jewish settlers

A shocking document last September revealed that, during the 1948 Nakba, Zionist militias engaged in a wide-ranging chemical and biological warfare campaign to expel indigenous Palestinian communities from their lands, slow the advance of intervening Arab armies, and poison citizens of neighboring states.

This unconscionable use of biological weapons on civilian targets, which sought to infect the local Palestinian population with typhoid, dysentery, malaria, and other diseases by contaminating local water supplies, was subject to a concerted coverup at the time - one that was maintained by the Zionist state for decades thereafter.

Even after its exposure, the Israeli academics who helped break the story were at pains to diminish its significance, unconvincingly arguing it was a failed strategy promptly jettisoned and forgotten about as a result.

But newly declassified Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) files starkly underline this narrative to be an abject lie. Released by the Jewish Settlements Archival Project, an initiative of New York University's Taub Center for Israel Studies, they amply show that the Israeli occupiers employed much the same tactics in order to purge Palestinian areas to make way for illegal settlements in the West Bank, and elsewhere.

It wouldn't be the first time illegal drugs were brought into the president's residence

A preliminary field test on a white substance found in the White House has reportedly come up positive for cocaine, law enforcement authorities said, and the US Secret Servicewas investigating on Tuesday how it came to be at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

The presence of the substance - which has been sent out for further testing - came to light late on Monday when a firefighter with the Washington DC fire department's hazardous materials team radioed: "We have a yellow bar saying cocaine hydrochloride," the Washington Post first reported.

Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told the Post that the discovery led to an elevated security alert and a brief evacuation of the executive mansion after it was found during a routine round of inspection.

Comment: The White House isn't the only government facility where cocaine has been found. It seems to be the drug of choice for employees in elite positions. Do they believe the myth of performance enhancement?

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, center and foreground, pose for a family picture with members of the Spanish government and EU commissioners before the start of an EU summit in Madrid, July 3, 2023.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Monday it was imperative for the European Union to address the issue of its enlargement as soon as possible to include countries such as Ukraine and Moldova to guarantee they do not fall under the influence of Russia or China.

Speaking in Madrid, von der Leyen said the bloc must look forward four years and imagine what the union should be like.

"Can we imagine the European Union will be without Ukraine, without Moldova, without the Western Balkans? And those parts of Europe are under the influence of Russia or China? Impossible," she said.

The most serious threat to global security is the United States - US foreign policy veteran

© Karsten Moran for The New York TimesRichard N. Haass said the United States has become the most profound source of instability throughout the world.
Everywhere he has gone as president of the Council on Foreign Relations, Richard N. Haass has been asked the same question: What keeps him up at night? He has had no shortage of options over the years — Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, climate change, international terrorism, food insecurity, the global pandemic.

But as he steps down after two decades running America's most storied private organization focused on international affairs, Mr. Haass has come to a disturbing conclusion. The most serious danger to the security of the world right now? The threat that costs him sleep? The United States itself.

"It's us," he said ruefully the other day.

That was never a thought this global strategist would have entertained until recently. But in his mind, the unraveling of the American political system means that for the first time in his life the internal threat has surpassed the external threat. Instead of being the most reliable anchor in a volatile world, Mr. Haass said, the United States has become the most profound source of instability and an uncertain exemplar of democracy.

Living in a coup with massive election rigging & war

Legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong was forecasting "chaos" in 2023, and that's exactly what we got. His cycle work says don't look for it to get better anytime soon. Armstrong explains:
"We are in the midst of a coup. We have all these people who have been neocons for 30 years. Even Ron Paul said recently that the neocons have been waging war for 30 years and have not won a single one. This is what they live for. Look at the clip of Lindsey Graham saying this is the best money we ever spent killing Russians. How can you take pleasure in that statement that this is the best money we ever spent killing Russians. This is not defense. These are the words of a psychopath in my mind. . . . They are not about to accept anybody who is going to be against war. The neocons are in full control of the government — period. We are living in the time of a coup. The United States is not the free country you thought it was. . . ."
Armstrong also predicts that the neocons will rig the 2024 election so Biden (or some other neocon) gets a second term. Is there any way to stop this election rigging and fraud in 2024? Armstrong says:
"I don't believe so. Our computers show that holy hell breaks loose starting in 2025. I think the problem will be the cheating will be in everybody's face this time."

Zelensky's zugzwang: Ukraine's 'blitzkrieg' strategy has failed, so where does that leave its much-hyped counteroffensive?

For the past six months, Kiev has been preparing a breakthrough to the Sea of Azov, but Russia wasn't planning to roll over.

The counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), widely hyped by Ukrainian and Western officials since the beginning of the year, has been going on for nearly a month. Since June 4, Kiev's forces have been trying to advance on the southern section of the frontlines in Zaporozhye Region and in the western part of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR).

The anticipated 'blitzkrieg' strategy was not successful and the Ukrainian offensive became stuck in positional warfare, losing a lot of the military equipment provided to it by the West. By the end of June, Kiev managed to occupy a mere eight villages, but was not able to reach the main Russian fortifications.

Kiev and its Western partners are now particularly concerned about the planned breakthrough to the Sea of Azov, since the strategic goals of the counteroffensive have failed and the land corridor to Crimea remains under Russian control. So why has Ukraine's much-hyped operation failed?

How was the current front line formed?

The front line in Zaporozhye Region and the western part of the DPR was formed in the spring of 2022. At that time, Russian troops were able to merge their Crimean units, which captured the cities of Tokmak and Pologi, with the Donbass units to form the 'Mariupol cauldron'.

Meanwhile, the Russian Army's attempts to move closer to Zaporozhye and capture the cities of Gulyai-Pole and Orekhov - the AFU's main strongholds in Zaporozhye Region - were not successful.

To the east, in the area of the Vremyevsky salient, active battles continued until the summer of 2022. On July 14, the DPR territorial defense headquarters confirmed the capture of Neskuchny village south of Vremyevka - the last settlement liberated by the People's Militia of the DPR in this section of the front.
