Ukraine's shelling of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant is an act of terrorism that could trigger a disaster that would eclipse the 1986 Chernobyl incident, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.

Russian Foreign Ministry's deputy spokesperson, Ivan Nechaev, told a news briefing in Moscow:
"In recent days, Ukrainian forces have been repeatedly shelling the territory of the Zaporozhye NPP, which is an act of nuclear terrorism. Such actions by the Kiev regime could lead to a disaster on a scale that would dwarf the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant."
According to the diplomat, should such a disaster occur, radiation would hit not only nearby regions in Ukraine, Russia, the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, but also European countries, putting millions of lives at risk.

Deep state infighting: DOJ fingers FBI for Mar-a-Lago raid disaster

Senior U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) officials are blaming FBI Director Christopher Wray for the recent raid of former President Donald Trump's home in an apparent attempt to take pressure off U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland.

After Trump confirmed the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago on Monday, many Republican politicians called on both Wray and Garland to explain the justification for the raid.

For example, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, said,
"Merrick Garland, Chris Wray, come to the House Judiciary Committee this Friday and answer our questions about this action today, which has never happened in American history."
Similarly, House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) called out the DOJ's "intolerable state of weaponized politicization" and told Garland to "preserve your documents and clear your calendar" as he pledged an investigation into the FBI raid if the Republicans take control of the House after November's midterms.

Comment: A missread? It brings into question how many other FBI raids were downgraded to this categorization to avoid public scrutiny and legal ramifications. As in many instances of government and authoritarian overreach, the inching forward to total control is now blatantly obvious. Targeting Trump has exposed this revelation to the public. He will make sure this happens. Protecting Garland is another matter.

More from The Daily Wire:
Attorney General, Merrick Garland, announced Thursday afternoon that he personally approved the FBI search warrant on the home of former President Donald Trump.

Newsweek reported that the FBI specifically targeted three rooms at the residence — a bedroom, an office, and a storage room — and that the information used to obtain the warrant "was based largely on information from an FBI confidential human source."

The report said that the confidential informant told the bureau what documents were taken and where the documents were located.

Russia labels Latvian MPs 'Neo-Nazis'

The Foreign Ministry spokeswoman condemns the Baltic nation's decision as nothing but "savage xenophobia"

Russia's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman has slammed Latvia's decision to brand Moscow a "state sponsor of terrorism," calling it "absolutely groundless" and part of a long-running anti-Russia campaign by Riga.

"Is it news? No," Maria Zakharova wrote on Telegram shortly after Thursday's declaration by the Latvian parliament, which accused Russia of "acts of terrorism" in Ukraine.
"Considering that there's no factual basis to this decision, except for savage xenophobia, one must label the ideologues of this move none other than neo-Nazis."
Earlier this week, while the latest anti-Russia declaration was still under discussion in Latvia's parliament, Zakharova accused Latvia of plunging itself into a crisis.
"It is well known that the pathological Russophobia of the ruling elites of Latvia has already caused serious economic and social problems in this Baltic country, bringing down the standard of living of its population. And it's only going to get worse in the future."

Switzerland no longer a neutral state - Moscow

Switzerland cannot represent Ukraine's diplomatic interests in Russia as it has given up its neutral status by joining anti-Russia sanctions, Moscow said on Thursday.

Russian Foreign Ministry Deputy Spokesman Ivan Nechayev explained that Bern has asked whether it can represent Ukraine in Russia and vice versa, and that in response,
"we made it perfectly clear that unfortunately, Switzerland has lost its neutrality and cannot act as a mediator or a representative of interests."
Nechayev also noted that Switzerland has continued talks with Kiev despite knowing Moscow's stance on the matter, which only confirmed:
"Bern doesn't really care about Russia's interests. This only reinforces our position that Switzerland's role as a mediator and a representative is out of the question. It is unclear how it's possible for a country behaving like this to offer mediation, representation and other good services."
The deputy spokesman accused Bern of supporting Kiev by joining the anti-Russia campaign launched by Western powers and Ukraine.

US commits a perfect murder in Kabul, or did they?

Eleven days after the US President Joe Biden's dramatic announcement of August 1 regarding the killing of the emir of al Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, Moscow has broken its silence. Ten days back, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova had replied to a query that Moscow was yet to "get the details" on what had happened on July 31.

Revisiting the topic during yesterday's MFA press briefing, in response to a follow-up question, the deputy spokesperson Ivan Nechayev has stated: "We do not undertake to confirm the authenticity ('dostovernost' — достоверность) about the destruction in Kabul on July 31 this year as a result of a drone strike of the leader of Al-Qaeda, A. Zawahiri."

No doubt, this is a very carefully worded Russian statement that focuses on the reliability of Biden's version. Indeed, Biden got away scot-free since he made the announcement from the White House without taking any questions from the media.

Nechayev pointed out that "Washington has not provided the public with any evidence of the elimination of this terrorist." And he merely took note of media reports that the apartment building hit by the Americans in Kabul belonged to the "Haqqani clan".

However, curiously, Nechayev offered that some "first conclusions can be drawn" on the basis of the official comments of the authorities in Kabul — namely, "that they have no information about A. Zawahiri's stay in the Afghan capital."

Russia has traditionally kept a robust intelligence system working on Afghanistan providing real time inputs to Moscow, including during the Taliban rule from 1996-2001, when the Russian embassy and consulates remained closed.

AG Merrick Garland confirms he personally approved Mar-a-Lago raid, refuses to take questions

In a Thursday press briefing, United States Attorney General Merrick Garland confirmed that he "personally approved" of the FBI raid at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence, and announced that the Justice Department has filed a motion to unseal the search warrant.

Garland told the public that "I personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter," noting that the Justice Department "does not take such a decision lightly."

Garland said that the search warrant" was authorized by a federal court upon the required finding of probable cause."

Comment: Trump calls the DOJ bluff:

More from The Post Millennial:
[A] federal judge gave the Justice Department a deadline to determine if the former president supports or opposes unsealing the search warrant and property receipt used by the FBI to search his Mar-a-Lago home Monday.

"The United States shall immediately serve a copy of its Motion on counsel for former President Trump. On or before 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on August 12, 2022, the United States shall file a certificate of conferral advising whether former President Trump opposes the Government's motion to unseal," Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart wrote in the order. This in response to media requests to unseal the warrant.

The judge's decision followed Attorney General Merrick Garland's press conference Thursday afternoon addressing the decision for the FBI to raid the home of a former president which has never been done in US history. Garland said he "personally approved" of the FBI executing the warrant at Trump's home, which agents spent hours searching on Monday.

"Just now, the Justice Department has filed a motion in the Southern District of Florida to unseal a search warrant and property receipt relating to a court-approved search that the FBI conducted earlier this week. That search was a premises located in Florida belonging to the former president," Garland said.

"The department filed the motion to make public the warrant and receipt in light of the former president's public confirmation of the search, the surrounding circumstances and the substantial public interest in this matter," he added.

Trump called the raid on his Mar-a-Lago home "unAmerican, unwarranted, and unnecessary" and said he approved of the "immediate release" of the warrant.

Trump also said, "My attorneys and representatives were cooperating fully, and very good relationships had been established. The government could have had whatever they wanted, if we had it. They asked us to put an additional lock on a certain area - DONE! Everything was fine, better than that of most previous Presidents, and then, out of nowhere and with no warning, Mar-a-Lago was raided, at 6:30 in the morning, by VERY large numbers of agents, and even 'safecrackers.'"

According to Fox News, before Monday's search warrant was executed, Trump's legal team had already returned 15 boxes of White House records from Mar-a-Lago to the US National Archives and Records Administration, including documents that contained classified information.

Xi pleaded with Biden "now is no time for a crisis" just ahead of Pelosi's Taiwan visit

Previously undisclosed details behind the July 28 phone call between President Joe Biden and China's Xi Jinping have been revealed Thursday, wherein the Chinese leader urged "Now isn't the time for a full-blown crisis."

A fresh Wall Street Journal report relates that while Xi warned Biden of unspecified consequences should House Speaker Nancy Pelosi follow through with her visit to Taiwan, making her the highest US official to do so in 25 years, he stressed he had no intention of entering a war with the United States. Citing people briefed on the call, Xi emphasized that both sides must "maintain peace and security" while reiterating Beijing's longstanding position on the Taiwan question.

Of course, the call failed to prevent Pelosi's visit to Taipei, which in turn sparked over a week of unprecedented People's Liberation Army (PLA) drills encircling the island, effectively erasing the median line which separates the Taiwan Strait.

Comment: What does the Biden administration hope for by opening a potential third military front? It has already failed in Syria though to this day, it's still stealing oil from the Syrian people, plus Ukraine is going down the tubes as the U.S. depletes its munitions supplies in a failed bid to 'bleed Russia dry'.

Madness.

Dr. Deborah Birx - who helped shape the US response to Covid - doesn't understand basic epidemiology or how clinical trials work

Dr. Deborah Birx
You may still vaguely remember Deborah Birx.

If not. In March 2020, Dr. Birx became the "response coordinator" for the White House task force on Covid, a job she held until Donald Trump left office.

Birx has now written a book about her time at the White House, Silent Invasion. It came out in April to resounding indifference. Its biggest audience seems to be me and other lockdown skeptics, who want to understand how Birx and her public health colleagues so overreacted and mismanaged the response to Sars-Cov-2.

On that front, Silent Invasion is very revealing.

Birx is obsessed with asymptomatic transmission - the theory that people who are not showing symptoms of illness are very important spreaders of Covid.

Before Covid, scientists agreed people who did not have symptoms of respiratory viruses like influenza did not spread illness. ("The driver of respiratory outbreaks is symptomatic people, not asymptomatic carriers," Dr. Anthony Fauci famously said on January 28, 2020.)

But if asymptomatic transmission is rare, the Covid mitigation measures Birx favored - including mask mandates, lockdowns, and widespread testing of asymptomatic people - are impossible to justify.

Comment: More on Birx's admissions and deep lack of insight into the Covid policies she helped commandeer:

Best of the Web: Alex Jones, Cass Sunstein, and "Cognitive Infiltration"

Ron Unz
The Unz Review

Alex Jones, Cass Sunstein
Late last week a Texas jury ordered Alex Jones to pay nearly $50 million in compensatory and punitive damages to the parents of a child killed in the Sandy Hook shootings, with two more trials still scheduled. These awards may be sharply reduced, but if they are not, the result will probably mean the destruction of Jones' media empire.

For decades Jones has been one of America's most prominent conspiracy theorists, and although I've never watched his show nor scarcely ever visited his website, under ordinary circumstances I would be quite sympathetic to his plight, given the tremendous record of dishonesty by his arch-enemies in the mainstream media.

From what I've read, Jones came to major national prominence in the early 2000s when he became a leading skeptic of the official 9/11 narrative, widely promoting public criticism of that official fairy tale when no one in the mainstream media and even few alternative journalists were willing to do so. I myself only became aware of these issues long afterward, and if I'd been listening to Jones at the time I would have learned some important facts years earlier.

Comment: While the author raises some good points about Cass Sunstein's approach to Psy-ops, and we agree with several of the author's insights about some Covid disinformation, he clearly misses some other rather crucial points around the subject.
