The very fact that Russia's warning about Kiev's false flag dirty bomb provocation is so credible speaks to just how ideologically radical the US' ruling Democrat elite have become that they're seriously countenancing this scenario in order to cling to power ahead of the midterms and the 2024 elections.

The US-led West's Golden Billion and their proxies in Kiev have all scoffed at Russia's dire warning shared at the highest levels of newly restored world power's military-diplomatic leadership over the past few days that a dirty bomb false flag provocation is being plotted against it. According to this New Cold War bloc, it's actually Moscow that's supposedly orchestrating all of this behind the scenes in order to invent the pretext for escalating its special operation in that crumbling former Soviet Republic.

The Kremlin doesn't need to do that though if this is the outcome that it wants because:

1. Army General Surovikin is already waging his country's version of "shock and awe" in Ukraine;

2. Russia's partial mobilization of experienced reservists is almost complete;

3. These new troops will reinforce the Line of Control (LOC) between Novorossiya and Ukraine;

4. Russia's strategy is premised on retaining its recently reunified lands and not expanding beyond that;

5. And any escalation can be carried out with drones and missiles without any new pretexts needed.

U.S. military forces are "fully prepared" to cross into Ukraine at a moment's notice to fight a war against Russia.

The Army's 101st Airborne Division, which boasts the "Screaming Eagles" moniker, has been deployed to Europe for the first time since World War II, practicing with live tank and artillery rounds not far from the Black Sea, across which Russia has taken territory from Ukraine, including Crimea, at a forward operating site on NATO's eastern flank, according to CBS News.

Brig. Gen. John Lubas, the division's deputy commander, stressed this is "not a training deployment" but rather a "combat deployment" from which his forces "need to be ready to fight tonight, depending on how the situation escalates across the border."

Col. Edwin Matthaidess, commander of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, told the news outlet these troops are the closest U.S. unit to the fighting in Ukraine, still raging more than seven months into Russia's full-scale invasion began. "It keeps us on our toes," he said.

Thirty members of the U.S. House of Representatives' Progressive Caucus have urged President Joe Biden to "pursue direct diplomacy" to seek a negotiated settlement to end the war in Ukraine.

The 30 lawmakers who signed a letter dated October 24 backing the pursuit of talks to end the war are members of Biden's Democratic Party.

The letter said they were under no illusions regarding the difficulties involved in engaging Russia given its "outrageous and illegal" invasion of Ukraine and its decision to make additional illegal annexations of Ukrainian territory.

"However, if there is a way to end the war while preserving a free and independent Ukraine, it is America's responsibility to pursue every diplomatic avenue to support such a solution that is acceptable to the people of Ukraine.

"In recent weeks, the risk of nuclear war has increased, fighting escalated, and global economic insecurity deepened. Thousands of people are dead and tens of millions more impacted."

The letter noted the destruction the war has already caused in Ukraine and the world and the risk of catastrophic escalation.

A commander said, "this is not a training deployment, this is a combat deployment"

The White House has deployed thousands of American soldiers just miles from Ukraine to prepare for war, according to CBS News. Officers speaking with the outlet revealed they were there for combat against Russia.

Brigadier General John Lubas confirmed nearly 5,000 troops from the 101st Airborne recently joined the 100,000 American soldiers already deployed to Europe. Lubas described his troops as being on "full deployment," and they are preparing to fight Russian soldiers in Ukraine.

"This is not a training deployment, this is a combat deployment for us. We understand we need to be ready to fight tonight."

CBS Reporter Charlie D'Agata was embedded with the American forces as they conducted military drills - at a forward operating base - within four miles of Ukraine's border. The 101st Airborne is engaged in joint exercises with Romanian forces, simulating Ukrainian soldiers' combat against Russian troops.

A federal court temporarily blocked President Joe Biden's student loan bailout while a legal challenge continues.

Six states challenged President Biden's executive order to transfer student loan debt to taxpayers.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit temporarily enjoined on Friday the program from going into effect upon a request from six states that have challenged the bailout.

President Biden and his administration must answer the lawsuit by the end of the day today and then the six states must answer by the end of the day Tuesday, the court ruled.

It followed a ruling from a Missouri federal judge that allowed the bailout to go into effect, according to Reuters.

President Joe Biden (D) faced intense backlash online Sunday afternoon over an interview with a hard-left organization in which he expressed "moral" disgust over Republicans trying to ban controversial transgender surgeries and other treatments for minors.

The segment with NowThis News featured biological male Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender activist who identifies as a woman.

"This is my 221st day of publicly transitioning," Mulvaney began.

"God love you," Biden responded.

For decades the use of banned biological weapons during the Nakba was kept hidden in Israel's archives. Recent discoveries have shed light not only on this Zionist war crime, but also the sinister motive behind it.

In September, a highly revealing academic paper was published exposing the details of a previously hidden operation by Zionist militias during the 1948 Nakba (or "Catastrophe"), in which chemical and biological weapons were used to poison Palestinians, intervening Arab armies, and the citizens of neighboring states with typhoid, dysentery, malaria, and other diseases.

Working by stealth, Zionist militants poured vast quantities of infectious bacteria into wells and aqueducts providing villages, towns, and cities with water, in direct violation of the 1925 Geneva Protocol, which strictly prohibits "the use of bacteriological methods of warfare."

The local epidemics created by this man-made disaster greatly assisted the forcible conquest of Palestinian territory by armed Jewish militias with their capture made permanent, while hindering the progress of advancing Arab armies.

Biological warfare and the founding of Israel

The 1948 War has been well-studied, and its impact, chiefly the permanent displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in the Nakba still reverberates today. Yet, understanding of the conflict has hitherto been incomplete.

Aside from opaque references to the biological warfare campaign in the diaries and autobiographies of Zionist leaders and militants from that era, and a 2003 academic article, the use of these illegal substances has never previously been revealed.

In an ironic twist of fate, the Zionist biological blitzkrieg was suppressed so successfully that numerous highly incriminating documents referring to the operation's name - "Cast Thy Bread," a Biblical quote from Ecclesiastes 11:1, in which Jews are directed to "cast thy bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again" - slipped past government censors unexpurgated.

Evidently, even they were unaware of this war crime which followed the chemical extermination of millions of Jews, which says a lot.

It turned out that this gap in the historical record was both created and maintained intentionally. As the paper notes, a reference was made in the diaries of Israel's first prime minister David Ben-Gurion two days before war broke out on 15 May, 1948 to a Zionist militant recently spending several thousand dollars on "biological materials." However, this was censored by the Defense Ministry Press when the volumes were published in 1982.

US President Joe Biden has threatened "consequences" over Riyadh's decision to cut oil production, a move that resulted in embarrassment for the Democratic Party leader. The defiant move from Saudi Arabia, however, may be much more complex than meets the eye.

Washington has been up in arms ever since the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a long-time US partner in the Middle East, pushed for oil production to be slashed at an OPEC+ meeting earlier this October. The consequences were immediately evident - as Biden heads his party into the November midterm elections, oil prices will not drop, which hurts his hopes of defeating the Republicans at the polls. Prominent Democrats began launching tirades against the Kingdom, outraged that the Saudis' move could affect the election results.

The decision of OPEC+ earlier this month to cut production to a low not seen since 2020 was instantly characterized by Washington as Saudi Arabia taking the side of Russia over the West. To make things worse for Biden, Riyadh has reportedly expressed interest in joining the BRICS economic alliance, currently composed of South Africa, Brazil, Russia, India, and China.

That didn't take long... the 30 Houses Progressive Democrats led by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (WA-07), chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, has early Tuesday afternoon issued a complete retraction of their letter sent to the Biden White House urging diplomacy on Ukraine, per an official statement [emphasis ours]:

"The Congressional Progressive Caucus hereby withdraws its recent letter to the White House regarding Ukraine."

"The letter was drafted several months ago, but unfortunately was released by staff without vetting. As Chair of the Caucus, I accept responsibility for this. Because of the timing, our message is being conflated by some as being equivalent to the recent statement by Republican Leader McCarthy threatening an end to aid to Ukraine if Republicans take over. The proximity of these statements created the unfortunate appearance that Democrats, who have strongly and unanimously supported and voted for every package of military, strategic, and economic assistance to the Ukrainian people, are somehow aligned with Republicans who seek to pull the plug on American support for President Zelensky and the Ukrainian forces."

The New York state Supreme Court has reinstated all employees who were fired for not being vaccinated, ordering back pay and saying their rights had been violated.

The court found Monday that "being vaccinated does not prevent an individual from contracting or transmitting COVID-19." New York City Mayor Eric Adams claimed earlier this year that his administration would not rehire employees who had been fired over their vaccination status.

NYC alone fired roughly 1,400 employees for being unvaccinated earlier this year after the city adopted a vaccine mandate under former Mayor Bill de Blasio.

Many of those fired were police officers and firefighters.
