It doesn't matter that voters hate Joe Biden if Democrats can rig elections

Just a month before the 2020 election, radio host Rush Limbaugh commented that Democrats
"resent the whole premise behind elections. Look, they don't believe they should have to persuade anybody to agree with them ... The modern-day Democrats have to go through the motions of campaigning, and they have to go through the motions of trying to win the hearts and minds of voters. But they resent the h-ll out of it. And in their world, it's the one thing standing in their way: This need, this requirement to win elections. And I'm just telling you: As soon as they can figure out a way to eliminate elections, they will do it."
Today, Democrats are engaged in a full-court press to pass legislation that would brush state election safeguards aside and codify the shenanigans of 2020 into federal law. They'll nuke the filibuster if they can, a step never taken previously for high-priority legislation but pursued now for a bill that nobody is marching in the streets for. Anything to cement themselves into a permanent position of power.

As Joe Biden himself said,
"It's about election subversion, not just whether or not people get to vote. Who counts the vote? That's what this is about, that's what makes this so different from anything else we've ever done."
Indeed!

NATO on standby, deploys some jets & ships, Russia responds with 20 warships in Baltic

On Monday NATO announced it has put its forces on "standby" while initiating deployment of additional ships and fighter jets to Eastern Europe. "NATO will continue to take all necessary measures to protect and defend all Allies, including by reinforcing the eastern part of the Alliance," NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in a statement.


Comment: NATO is 'defending' nothing, because it instigated the current situation, and it's quite clearly the aggressor.


"We will always respond to any deterioration of our security environment, including through strengthening our collective defense," Stoltenberg added, while discussing the ongoing Russia-Ukraine showdown, which the Kremlin has denounced as hype and based on false allegations it's planning an invasion. The Kremlin has further reiterated its plea for Western countries to stop the "hysteria", which itself is hyping the crisis further. One NATO diplomat has been cited in reports Monday saying the Biden administration is mulling a move to transfer some troops from Western Europe to Eastern Europe in the coming weeks.

Comment: It would appear that whilst NATO thinks it can continue to play games, which is why its actions don't match its rhetoric, Russia seems to be sending the signal that it isn't playing anymore: Also check out SOTT radio's: NewsReal: Ukraine Gambit - US Attempting to Destroy Russia

Just days after President Biden was caught on hot mic calling a reporter's question over the Ukraine conflict "stupid," the US Commander-in-Chief downplayed a question over one of, if not THE most important worry for Americans right now - inflation.
"Do you think inflation is a political liability ahead of the midterms?" asked Fox News' Peter Doocy as Biden was wrapping up a press conference for the White House's Competition Council.

"No. It's a great asset. More inflation. What a stupid son of a bitch," replied Biden.

No respect for Putin: how a call for cooperation with Russia ended a German vice-admiral's career

The head of the German navy, Vice-Admiral Kay-Achim Schönbach, has resigned in the wake of a scandal in which he faced accusations of being too pro-Moscow. Speaking at the Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses in New Delhi, India, Schönbach had argued that Russia, under its president Vladimir Putin, was fundamentally not interested in taking Ukrainian territory, but, rather, wanted respect from the West and, in particular, to be treated as equals.

In his view, the West should offer that respect, for three reasons: because it would be easy, because Russia and its leader deserve it, and because Europe needs Moscow as an ally against China. Schönbach also appealed in the name of religion, describing himself as a committed Roman Catholic and maintaining that Russia's Christian identity points to the need for partnership between the country and other mostly Christian nations. As for Crimea, he was frank about his conviction that it would not return to Ukrainian control.

The talk was recorded and uploaded to YouTube, which may have been fatal for his career. If his statements had not been so readily available, perhaps they would have passed unnoticed.

Ukraine crisis: The US 'toolbox' is empty

The toolbox is empty. Russia knows this. Biden knows this. Blinken knows this. CNN knows this. The only ones who aren't aware of this are the American people.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, in a hastily scheduled, 90-minute summit in Geneva yesterday, after which both sides lauded the meeting as worthwhile because it kept the door open for a diplomatic resolution to the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. What "keeping the door open" entails, however, represents two completely different realities.

For Blinken, the important thing appears to be process, continuing a dialogue which, by its very essence, creates the impression of progress, with progress being measured in increments of time, as opposed to results.

China sends largest incursion of jets into Taiwan 'defence zone' in months

China sent 39 warplanes -- mostly fighter jets -- into Taiwan's air defence zone on Sunday, the island's government said.

The final quarter of 2021 saw a massive spike of incursions from China into Taiwan's air defence identification zone (ADIZ), with the biggest single day coming on October 4, when 56 Chinese warplanes entered the zone.

Taiwan's defence ministry said in a statement late Sunday it scrambled its own aircraft to broadcast warnings and deployed missiles to track 39 Chinese jets that entered the ADIZ.

The incursions included 24 J-16 fighters -- which experts say are among China's favourite jets for testing Taiwan's air defences -- 10 J-10 fighters and one nuclear-capable H-6 bomber.

Comment: So part of this 'defence zone' is actually China's airspace, too, however, it's possible that this is a deliberate show of force by China, considering the West's meddling in Taiwan, and more so because of its escalation in Ukraine.

In addition to the F-16V crash reported above, just yesterday a US Navy F-35 crash landed on the USS Carl Vinson in the South China Sea, injuring 7 personnel:

Russia accuses NATO of escalating Ukraine tensions through 'hysteria' and ramping up deployments

Peskov said Monday that Ukraine was preparing an offensive in the east of the country where Kyiv troops have been fighting pro-Russia separatists since 2014

Russia has accused Washington and NATO of escalating tensions through "information hysteria" over deployment of troops in Ukraine.

"As for specific actions, we see statements by the North Atlantic Alliance about reinforcement, pulling forces and resources to the eastern flank. All this leads to the fact that tensions are growing," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

"This is not happening because of what we, Russia, are doing. This is all happening because of what NATO and the U.S. are doing and due to the information they are spreading."

He said the West was showing "hysteria" and putting out information "laced with lies".

Comment: It's perhaps no coincidence that the establishment's sudden escalation of aggression against Russia occurs just as it, basically, drops its contrived, globally coordinated, coronavirus crisis. In the past year it started to become clear that Russia and China were losing patience with the West and were taking a much firmer stance than before, and it's likely because they could see that the West was becoming increasingly desperate and that they were looking for a scapegoat to blame for, as well as to facilitate, the next stage in their agenda: Also check out SOTT radio's: NewsReal: Ukraine Gambit - US Attempting to Destroy Russia

Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer on Sunday revealed how the Biden family have profited from business with individuals "linked to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence."

Schweizer, the author of Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, said Biden's son Hunter, while the elder Biden was serving as both vice president and president, was engaged in deals with individuals tied to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence. He called the Biden family's business dealings "unprecedented."

"One of the most startling things we uncovered is the simple fact that the Biden family, while he was vice president of the United States and continuing when he became president, received some $31 million from Chinese individuals who are linked to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence," Schweizer outlined on Fox News Channel's Life, Liberty & Levin.

The statement, which was given to the German-language Catholic News Agency (KNA), said the false information was not given "with ill intent."
