Since late last year, messenger RNA for Moderna's COVID-19 vaccines, including its recently reformulated Omicron booster, has been exclusively manufactured by a little known company with significant ties to US intelligence.

Earlier this week, the United Kingdom became the first country to approve Moderna's reformulated version of its COVID-19 vaccine, which claims to provide protection against both the original form of the virus and the significantly less lethal but more transmissible Omicron variant. The product was approved by the UK's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) with the support of the UK government's Commission on Human Medicines.

Described by UK officials as a "sharpened tool" in the nation's continued vaccination campaign, the reformulated vaccine combines the previously approved COVID-19 vaccine with a "vaccine candidate" targeting the Omicron variant BA.1. That vaccine candidate has never been previously approved and has not been the subject of independent study. The MHRA approved the vaccine based on a single, incomplete human trial currently being conducted by Moderna. The company promoted incomplete data from that trial in company press releases in June and July. The study has yet to be published in a medical journal or peer reviewed. No concerns have been raised by any regulatory agency, including the MHRA, regarding Moderna's past history of engaging in suspect and likely illegal activity in past product trials, including for its original COVID-19 vaccine.

Former President Trump reiterated calls for a new election in a post to Truth Social on Tuesday morning.

"The Presidential Election was BADLY & IRREPARABLY TAINTED by the FBI's FAKE description of the 'Laptop from Hell' to Facebook & the LameStream Media - & for MANY other reasons as well," Trump wrote early Tuesday. "Declare the rightful winner, or hold a new Election, NOW! Our Country, which is failing badly, knows the 'score,' and will never accept Criminal Election Interference."

"The FBI just fired its Special Agent In Charge of this outrageous & very illegal assault on the Constitution of the United States of America!" he added.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump for years bragged to close associates that he knew illicit details about French President Emmanuel Macron's sex life, gleaned from "intelligence" briefings, Rolling Stone reported late Monday, citing "two people with knowledge of the matter."

The issue has surged back into the spotlight in the wake of the FBI raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, during which authorities seized sensitive documents, including one titled "info re: President of France."

It's unknown whether the document in question contained details about Macron's personal life. Rolling Stone has also not confirmed whether the information seized regarding Macron was classified or sourced from U.S. intelligence. But the magazine said the "mere revelation of [the document's] existence triggered a trans-Atlantic freakout."

Comment: Yes, Trump can be a braggart and he hasn't always delivered, but that's not to say that ALL his accusations are trumped up (no pun intended). Let's wait and see on this one. See also: Macron emails lead to allegations of homosexual adventurism, drug use and Rothschild money

Ukraine: Somewhere between Afghanization and Syrianization

Ukraine is finished as a nation - neither side will rest in this war. The only question is whether it will be an Afghan or Syrian style finale.

Ukraine War

One year after the astounding US humiliation in Kabul - and on the verge of another serious comeuppance in Donbass - there is reason to believe Moscow is wary of Washington seeking vengeance: in the form of the 'Afghanization' of Ukraine.

With no end in sight to western weapons and finance flowing into Kiev, it must be recognized that the Ukrainian battle is likely to disintegrate into yet another endless war. Like the Afghan jihad in the 1980s which employed US-armed and funded guerrillas to drag Russia into its depths, Ukraine's backers will employ those war-tested methods to run a protracted battle that can spill into bordering Russian lands.

Yet this US attempt at crypto-Afghanization will at best accelerate the completion of what Russia's Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu describes as the "tasks" of its Special Military Operation (SMO) in Ukraine. For Moscow right now, that road leads all the way to Odessa.

It didn't have to be this way. Until the recent assassination of Darya Dugina at Moscow's gates, the battlefield in Ukraine was in fact under a 'Syrianization' process.

Like the foreign proxy war in Syria this past decade, frontlines around significant Ukrainian cities had roughly stabilized. Losing on the larger battlefields, Kiev had increasingly moved to employ terrorist tactics. Neither side could completely master the immense war theater at hand. So the Russian military opted to keep minimal forces in battle - contrary to the strategy it employed in 1980s Afghanistan.

The conflict in Ukraine is precipitating the end of Western domination

The Ukrainian conflict, presented as a Russian aggression, is only the implementation of the Security Council resolution 2202 of February 17, 2015. If France and Germany did not keep their commitments during the Minsk II Agreement, Russia prepared itself for seven years for the current confrontation. It had foreseen the Western sanctions well in advance and needed only two months to circumvent them.
These sanctions disrupt US globalization, disrupt Western economies by breaking supply chains, causing dollars to flow back to Washington and causing general inflation, and creating energetics in the West.
The United States and its allies are in the position of being the hosers hosed: they are digging their own grave. Meanwhile, the Russian Treasury's revenues have increased by 32% in six months.

For the past seven years, it has been the responsibility of the guarantor powers of the Minsk II Agreement (Germany, France, Ukraine and Russia) to enforce it. They had been endorsed and legalized by the United Nations Security Council on February 17, 2015. But none of these states have done so, despite the rhetoric about the need to protect citizens threatened by their own governments.

Elon Musk cites Twitter whistleblower in new bid to cancel $44 billion deal

Elon Musk fired another salvo in his bid to cancel the $44 billion buyout of Twitter, citing claims made by Twitter whistleblower Peiter "Mudge" Zatko as further proof that the social media company hasn't been forthcoming about its "far-reaching misconduct."

Mike Ringler, Musk's lawyer, from the law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, wrote a letter to Twitter's top legal counsel on Monday — a follow-up to Musk's initial July 8 notice to the Securities and Exchange Commission seeking to terminate his acquisition of Twitter. Ringler wrote:
"Allegations regarding certain facts, known to Twitter prior to and as of July 8, 2022, but undisclosed to the Musk Parties prior to and at that time, have since come to light that provide additional and distinct bases to terminate the Merger Agreement."
Ringler, from the law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP wrote that the second notice is "not legally necessary" to terminate the merger, but was filed in case the July 8 notice was "determined to be invalid for any reason."

Comment: More details come from The Guardian:
Musk wants out of the deal and Twitter is asking Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick of the Delaware court of chancery to order him to buy the company for the agreed $54.20 per share.

A Twitter attorney said at a court hearing last week that Musk's focus on spam as a way to end his agreement to buy the company was "legally irrelevant" because Twitter always said its spam counts were only estimates, not binding representations.

Twitter's stock was down slightly at $40.36 on Monday morning in New York. Twitter declined to comment for this article.

GOP Senators press Zuckerberg about FBI telling Facebook to downplay Hunter Biden's laptop

Two Senate Republicans want Facebook to explain whether the FBI discussed Hunter Biden's laptop computer, his business dealings and "Russian disinformation" with the social media platform during the 2020 campaign, citing a revealing podcast appearance by CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Sens. Charles E. Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin told Mr. Zuckerberg, who leads Facebook parent company Meta, that his comments on Joe Rogan's podcast made them wonder if the social media platform was pressured to suppress information about President Biden's son. The senators wrote to Mr. Zuckerberg:
"You appeared to indicate that as a result of the FBI's warning, Facebook eventually took steps to censor news articles about Hunter Biden's laptop. Specifically, you said that 'distribution' of those articles on Facebook was decreased and explained that 'the ranking and newsfeed was a little bit less. So fewer people saw it than would have otherwise. Your revelation that Facebook took steps to censor information about Hunter Biden on its platform based on the FBI's guidance raises even more questions about the FBI's actions regarding Hunter Biden's laptop."
Facebook responded in a series of tweets that said "nothing about the Hunter Biden laptop story is new" and that they took general steps to avoid foreign interference without singling out the laptop reporting.

Trump documents: What we still don't know

A federal judge in Florida has released a heavily redacted copy of the affidavit used to justify the Aug. 8 FBI raid on former President Donald Trump's winter home in Florida. In the fragmentary affidavit — the judge let the Justice Department black out whatever it liked — we learn a little more about how many documents the FBI found and some of the classified markings on them. We learned that the National Archives and Records Administration found boxes filled with "newspapers, magazines, printed news articles, photos, miscellaneous print-outs, notes, presidential correspondence, person and post-presidential records, and 'a lot of classified records,'" which sounds about right, given our knowledge of the level or organization in Trumpworld. But we still don't know the answer to the most important question of the whole Mar-a-Lago affair: What are the documents about?

There's no need to repeat yesterday's newsletter, titled, "The gaping hole in our knowledge of the Trump documents." But think about the story this way:

Trump had many fights over classified documents when he was in the White House. He wanted to declassify some documents, and the FBI did not. The reason Trump wanted to declassify documents was he believed the FBI and other agencies had unfairly targeted him in the Trump-Russia investigation of 2016-2019. Trump believed there were documents that showed evidence of FBI misconduct in its pursuit of Trump. But those documents were classified. Trump wanted them brought to light. The FBI did not. It warned that declassifying such documents would compromise carefully guarded sources and methods of U.S. intelligence and damage American national security.

Voice of reason: Odessa mayor calls for Ukraine and Russia to negotiate

Gennady Trukhanov, Mayor of Odessa, Ukraine
The mayor of the southern Ukrainian city of Odessa, Gennady Trukhanov, believes the conflict with Russia should be resolved politically. Kiev and Moscow should cease the hostilities and return to the negotiating table, he told Italy's Corriere della Sera newspaper in an interview published on Sunday.

Although he supports the idea of Ukraine "returning to [its] borders of 1991," including Donbass and Crimea, Trukhanov maintains that these disputes should be resolved at the negotiating table, not the battlefield.

"The lives of millions of people are at stake," therefore "it is necessary to negotiate step by step, to seek compromises gradually, to avoid confrontation," the mayor said. He argued that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has made "many" mistakes while in office.

Comment: Every chance at a negotiated settlement has been scuttled by one or another Western country. Initially, Russia may have been content with the Donbass and Lughansk territories, but now it appears they will settle for nothing less than control of ALL Russian-dominated areas. This includes the entire region bordering the Black Sea up to Odessa, and possibly taking Transnistria from Moldova. It's the only way Russia feels it can guarantee the safety of its sons and daughters.
