Russian ambassador: "Our duty is to remember the lessons of history."

Last year marked the 75th anniversary of the end of the Nuremberg trials. Within more than 300 days of continuous work of the International Military Tribunal established by the coalition of anti-Hitler countries, hundreds of thousands of written witness testimonies, photos and video chronicles were collected. Numerous testaments of the misanthropic essence of Nazis and its proponents were presented to the world. The Soviet and American prosecutors and judges who participated in the trial played a key role in bringing Hitler's closest henchmen to justice.

Every year the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs publishes a report on the global situation with the spread of neo-Nazism. The facts presented in the document indicate that the victory in World War II has not yet eradicated the "brown plague."

We are currently witnessing a cynical policy of distorting the historical truth. The memorials to victors of fascism are demolished in Ukraine, the Baltic States and Poland. There is a self-evident desire to erase the memory of the deed of the Soviet soldier-liberator, whom they try to put on equal footing with Hitler's executioners.

Do NOT go back to sleep! This is NOT the end!

Not the End
© Corbett Report
Remember the end of The Return of the Jedi? It's something I've referenced a few times because it's a handy cultural signifier for a certain idea.

For those who don't know, here's the gist: Darth Vader is dead. The Empire has fallen. The Rebels have won! Time to party! Cut to a montage of the Ewoks dancing around Darth Vader's funeral pyre and joyous festivities being held across the galaxy.

. . . But we viewers know that this isn't really the end of the story. The battle has been won, but the war between good and evil has not been decided forever. It would be far too naïve of us to believe that.

Indeed, it's hard not to be reminded of that Darth Vader funeral party when looking at the recent signs that the scamdemic narrative is falling apart: If you're looking for it, the good news is everywhere right now. So, time for the Ewok dance party, right?

Well, hold on to your light saber, young paduwan. This battle is not over yet. You see, the would-be societal controllers have not given up the fight yet, and some of the rollback of the scamdemic restrictions that is happening right now could be part of a deception that is in fact furthering their agenda of control.

Different people have different names for this deception. Dave Cullen of Computing Forever calls it "Two Steps Forward and One Step Back." Over at Revelations Radio News, Tim and Andrew have attempted to warn their listeners about "The Strategic Rug Pull." Whatever you call it, the concept isn't difficult to grasp if you know how the Powers That Shouldn't Be operate.

In a nutshell, the danger is that if the "authorities" begin to relax the draconian controls that have been put in place in the name of the COVID-1984 scamdemic, the population might believe that they have won. That it's over. That they can stop worrying about the descent into tyranny. Meanwhile, the real work of hardwiring the infrastructure of the biosecurity state can continue on behind the scenes, unhindered by opposition from erstwhile freedom activists.

Israel continues its war on Syria with airstrikes on Damascus, US-backed Kurdish forces claim 'clashes following ISIS prison raid'

Israel has launched an air attack over the suburbs of Damascus, the Syrian state television reported in the early hours of Monday citing a military source.

The source said the attack occurred at around 3:05 a.m. local time (1:05 GMT on Monday). Several missiles were launched from the direction of Riyaq (also known as Rayak, a Lebanese town located east of Beirut), targeting some areas in the vicinity of Damascus.


Comment: So not only is Israel attacking Syria, but it continues to do so by violating Lebanon's airspace.


There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.

Syrian Kurdish forces end mop-up operations in IS-hit jail

The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced the end of its mopping-up campaign inside the prison "after ending the last pockets in which IS terrorists were present", it said in a statement.

IS fighters on January 20 launched their biggest assault in years on the Ghwayran prison in the Kurdish-controlled northeastern Syrian city of Hasakeh, aiming to free fellow jihadists.


Just a few years ago US-backed Kurdish forces in Syria were releasing terrorists and allowing them to join them, what changed?

After six days of intense fighting, the SDF announced on Wednesday they had recaptured the prison, but intermittent clashes continued until Saturday between Kurdish fighters and jihadists near the jail.

Several IS fighters had been holed up in "northern dormitories" inside the prison, but the SDF on Sunday said they been defeated.

IS gunmen had been hiding in prison "cellars that are difficult to target with air strikes or infiltrate," the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.


We know that the SOHR is a propaganda operation and so any claims it makes are highly suspect.


Hunt for fugitives

The war monitor, which relies on a network of sources inside Syria, said operations were still ongoing near the prison hunting for escaped IS fugitives.

"Dozens of IS members managed to escape from Ghwayran prison... in the early hours of the attack," the war monitor said.

It reported that 20 IS fighters had surrendered on Saturday, while the SDF killed another five in an exchange of fire inside the prison.

The Britain-based group said that 332 people had been killed since the onset of the attack, including 246 jihadists, 79 Kurdish-led fighters and seven civilian.

The death toll rose overnight on Sunday after the SDF found over 50 more bodies in prison buildings and nearby areas, the war monitor said.

"The newly discovered bodies were inside and outside the prison," Rami Abdel Rahman, who heads the Observatory, told AFP.

He said the death toll was likely to rise further, because "there are dozens of people who are wounded, others who are still missing, and information about more casualties" on both sides.

On Saturday, an AFP correspondent saw a truck carrying away piles of bodies from an area near the prison, believed to be those of IS fighters.

A bulldozer dumped more corpses onto the truck, which then headed to an unknown location.

Farhad Shami, who heads the SDF's media office, told AFP that the bodies would be buried in "remote, dedicated areas" under SDF control.


It's likely that this is being done to prevent anyone being able to verify their claims.


The violence prompted 45,000 people to flee Hasakeh, the United Nations said. Many took refuge in relatives' homes, while hundreds more slept in the city's mosques and wedding halls.

The war in Syria, which broke out in 2011, has killed close to half a million people and spurred the largest conflict-induced displacement since World War II.

UK gov't backtracks on NHS Covid vaccine mandate after 80,000 staff threatened with sack

NHS protest vaccine
Compulsory Covid jabs for NHS workers set to be put on hold after Tory revolt and warning from Royal College of GPs it will lead to chronic staff shortages - while healthcare workers dump their scrubs outside Downing Street during protest march
Mandatory vaccines for NHS and social care workers are set to be scrapped, it was revealed last night.

The decision to scrap the controversial policy comes amid warnings of crippling staff shortages if the plan was imposed on NHS and social care workers.

Health Secretary Sajid Javid is on Monday expected to meet ministers on the Covid-Operations Cabinet committee to finalise the U-Turn, reported the Telegraph.

The mandatory jab requirement was meant to come into force on April 1, meaning this Thursday would have been the last day staff could book in for a jab. On Friday those without jabs would have faced dismissal warnings and been asked to work out their notice periods until March 31.


Comment: It seems likely that part of the reason they're dropping this vaccine mandate is because of the likely legal repercussions associated with giving tens of thousands of staff unfair dismissal warnings; because, otherwise, they could have dragged this out much closer to the deadline and it's likely they would have managed to coerce thousands more into suffering the experimental jabs.


Comment: Britain is now subjecting children to these experimental jabs despite governments elsewhere sounding the alarming that they're potentially harmful, and that there's no benefit to subjecting children to these medical trials because, for them, and the vast majority of people, the coronavirus, in all its variants, is relatively harmless: And check out SOTT radio's: NewsReal: Governments Everywhere Mandate Vaccines!

Britain considering 'major' military deployment to Eastern Europe as West continues its manufactured crisis in Ukraine

British soldiers
British soldiers travel in Lithuania in 2017. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the forces in the region could be bolstered amid tensions with Russia.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson says Britain is considering a "major" deployment of troops, warships, and fighter jets in Eastern Europe to counter Russian "hostility" toward Ukraine.


Comment: Meanwhile the President of Ukraine, and even its defense minister have said the situation is no different to last year, which makes it pretty clear that the provocateurs are those in the West.


"This package would send a clear message to the Kremlin: We will not tolerate their destabilizing activity, and we will always stand with our NATO allies in the face of Russian hostility," Johnson said in a statement late on January 29.

The comment comes as NATO members stepped up vows of additional support for Ukraine in the face of a Russian military buildup along their common border in what many in the West fear could be the prelude to an invasion.


Comment: The most destabilizing action in Ukraine in recent years was the US-backed coup in 2014. By all metrics the situation has worsened in Ukraine, with poverty soaring, the economy crashing, corruption is rife, including in the courts, and violent crime appears to be on the increase.

MPs launch investigation after psychologists criticise totalitarian tactics of 'deploying fear, shame and scapegoating' during pandemic.

The Government's "grossly unethical" uses of its "nudge unit" inflated fear among the public during the Covid pandemic, psychologists have said - prompting MPs to launch an investigation into scare adverts.

A group of psychologists have written to Parliament's Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee, warning that a team of civil servants dedicated to "nudging" public behaviour during the pandemic were unaccountable and unethical.

Donald Trump has pledged that US Republicans will ban trans athletes from competing against women if they take back power

Donald Trump has waded into the growing debate surrounding transgender athletes in the United States while speaking at a 'Save America' rally in Texas, vowing that they will no longer be permitted to compete against biologically-born women when the Republican Party wrestles back control from their Democrat counterparts.

Trump, who stopped short of committing to a presidential run in 2024, gave a lengthy 80-minute speech to the assembled masses in Conroe, Texas, on Saturday night where he touched on a range of issues from illegal immigration to the possibility of pardons for those convicted in relation to the January 6 2021 riots at the US Capitol.

Nancy Pelosi's son embroiled in SIXTH FBI probe: Bribery investigation of San Francisco building permit official

Nancy Pelosi's son is embroiled in an FBI investigation into a San Francisco official who was allegedly bribed to turn a blind eye to a corrupt real estate plot.

Paul Pelosi Jr. and at least three of his associates were interviewed by agents in a five-year investigation that resulted in an indictment of a prolific building permit fixer for allegedly bribing a city official. The bribery scheme included an alleged plan to remove permit violations on a squalid flop house owned by Pelosi Jr.'s girlfriend.

Earlier this month a DailyMail.com investigation revealed Pelosi Jr., 53, has been linked to five previous federal probes. This ongoing criminal case is the sixth.

San Francisco permit expediter Rodrigo Santos, a former president of the San Francisco Building Inspection Commission, was indicted for fraud in November. Prosecutors claim he arranged for his clients to donate thousands of dollars to building inspector Bernie Curran's favorite non-profit - a rugby club - in exchange for city permits.

Curran and Santos deny wrongdoing. They are next due in court on February 4.

SOTT Focus: NewsReal: Canadian PM Flees Freedom Convoy as Washington Seeks War in Europe

The major mass mobilization of people from all over Canada - the second-largest country on Earth - to Ottawa this week to demand an end to all pandemic-related mandates, has caused Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to flee into hiding. Practically ignored by Western media, when such events occur in countries run by tinpot dictatorships, it typically means the government is about to fall. But these aren't typical times, and Canada is a major Western country.

This week's NewsReal podcast is in three main parts: the first covers the extraordinary popular - and thus far peaceful - uprising taking place in Canada.

In the second part, Joe & Niall retrace the revised UK government death stats on Covid-19, which last week prompted a flurry of misleading media reports. Fact-checking these, Joe gets to the heart of the issue to explain what the updated government stats mean: essentially, no one 'died from Covid'. Some old (and some immunocompromised) people just... died.

In the final third of the show, they switch gears to analyze a crisis taking place at the other end of 'Westernia', which the media very much does want to cover: the 'Russian war against Ukraine'. However, the only 'war' taking place there is the frozen civil war within Ukraine, which Russia wants to see resolved NOW, and which the US wants to restart in order to marshal global support for crippling sanctions that could seriously sink the entire global economy...

What you should really know about Ukraine

Ukraine soldiers
© Wall Street JournalUkraine Reservists
As tensions began to rise over Ukraine, US media produced a stream of articles attempting to explain the situation with headlines like "Ukraine Explained" (New York Times, 12/8/21) and "What You Need to Know About Tensions Between Ukraine and Russia" (Washington Post, 11/26/21). Sidebars would have notes that tried to provide context for the current headlines. But to truly understand this crisis, you would need to know much more than what these articles offered.

These "explainer" pieces are emblematic of Ukraine coverage in the rest of corporate media, which almost universally gave a pro-Western view of US/Russia relations and the history behind them. Media echoed the point of view of those who believe the US should have an active role in Ukrainian politics and enforce its perspective through military threats.

The official line goes something like this: Russia is challenging NATO and the "international rules-based order" by threatening to invade Ukraine, and the Biden administration needed to deter Russia by providing more security guarantees to the Zelensky government. The official account seizes on Russia's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimean peninsula as a starting point for US/Russian relations, and as evidence of Putin's goals of rebuilding Russia's long-lost empire.
