If anyone still doubts whether former US president Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election, new revelations this week should put the question to bed for good, with an FBI document showing it to be a fabrication.

The revelations in question take the form of an indictment laid against a Russian citizen living in the United States by the name of Igor Danchenko. The accusation against him is that he lied to the FBI when being questioned about his role in the "Russiagate" affair. But the real scandal is not in the untruths he supposedly told officers, but in what the charges reveal about how Russiagate came into being.

The origin of the scandal was the infamous "Steele dossier," assembled by former British spy Christopher Steele, who had been commissioned by the American company Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on Trump on behalf of the US Democratic Party. Steele then paid Danchenko to do the work for him.

What the indictment reveals for the first time is that Danchenko in turn made use of the services of somebody referred to as "PR Executive-1," who has been identified by the press as one Chuck Dolan. And it's here that things begin to get truly interesting.

Comment: The FBI worked in partnership with the Democratic Party. It is dubious it believed the ruse.

Heroin is almost impossible to get in North America, where it has been virtually replaced by fentanyl, Vice News says - leading some sarcastic commenters to wonder if this means the CIA will ask Congress for more money for coups.

It has become increasingly hard to find heroin in the US and Canada, replaced by the more dangerous synthetic substance. What is sold as heroin in the streets is more often than not laced with fentanyl, according to a Vice report titled 'Drug Users Are Nostalgic for 'Old-School Heroin' as Fentanyl Takes Over'.

"Fentanyl sucks," one of the upset drug users interviewed by the outlet said. "It doesn't last long, it doesn't provide you much euphoria, so it doesn't offer me much utility. It's just fentanyl around now, and I fear it's going to be like that forever."

Australia has accomplished its goal of fully vaccinating 80% of people aged 16 and older, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said as the country eases Covid-19 restrictions.

"We did it! We have hit the target of 80% of all Australians aged 16+ fully vaccinated, as set out in the National Plan," Morrison announced on Facebook.

"A huge thank you to everyone. This has been a massive Australian national effort, and the work doesn't stop here," the PM said, adding that 36 million Covid-19 vaccine doses have been administered nationwide. He thanked the country's healthcare workers and pharmacies for their efforts during the immunization campaign. Morrison said 99% of Australians aged over 70 have received at least one dose, and 90% of them are fully vaccinated.

Comment: Now it's time to redefine what it means to be "fully vaccinated".

Royal Marines commandos 'dominated' US troops and forced them into a humiliating surrender just days into a mass training exercise in the Mojave desert, it has been revealed today.

British forces took part in a five-day mock battle at the US Marine Corps' Twentynine Palms base in southern California, one of the largest military training areas in the world, and achieved a decisive victory against their American counterparts.

The Royal Marines, along with allied forces from Canada, the Netherlands and the UAE, destroyed or rendered inoperable nearly every US asset and finished the exercise holding more than 65 per cent of the training area, after beginning with less than 20 per cent.

Comment: The Royal Marines celebrated their victory on Twitter:
Have the US Marines been too busy transporting illegal immigrants and committing drink/ drugs-related offenses to keep up with their training?

Governor Ron DeSantis announces lawsuit against Biden Administration's unconstitutional OSHA employer vaccine mandate

desantis sues biden admin
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis
Today, Governor Ron DeSantis announced a lawsuit against the Biden Administration's unconstitutional Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) employer vaccine mandate. As soon as the unlawful emergency temporary standard (ETS) is published in the Federal Register tomorrow, the lawsuit will be immediately filed with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. For more information on the court action, click here.

"We started with 15 days to slow the spread and now it's get jabbed or lose your job," said Governor Ron DeSantis. "We're supposed to be a government of laws, not a government of men. This OSHA rule is 500 pages of a government of bureaucracy, a government that is being run by executive edict, not a government bound by constitutional constraints. The State of Florida will immediately challenge the OSHA rule in court because it's inconsistent with the Constitution and not legally authorized through Congressional statutes. There is no federal police power and the federal government cannot unilaterally impose medical policy under the guise of workplace regulation. Individuals should make informed choices about their own healthcare. It is important to stand up for people's individual ability to make decisions for themselves. And the practical result is that this is going to exacerbate a lot of the existing problems that we are seeing with the economy."

The State Department is offering a $10 million reward for information leading to the identification or location of key leaders of the group that launched a ransomware attack against Colonial Pipeline back in May.

"The U.S. Department of State announces a reward offer of up to $10,000,000 for information leading to the identification or location of any individual(s) who hold(s) a key leadership position in the DarkSide ransomware variant transnational organized crime group," officials announced in a Nov. 4 statement.

"In addition, the Department is also offering a reward offer of up to $5,000,000 for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction in any country of any individual conspiring to participate in or attempting to participate in a DarkSide variant ransomware incident," the statement noted.

Comment: It's also possible that the U.S. Department of State is offering this reward to make it look like the U.S. government was neither involved nor knows who was involved in the ransomware attacks. Which may not be the case.

On why Putin criticized the Bolshevik counter revolution: Trotsky, Parvus and the War on Civilization

Doesn't Putin respect Soviet Russian accomplishments including the sacrifices made to put down Hitler? How could Putin be a true anti-imperialist if he is an anti-revolutionary?

A scandal arose this week as President Putin took some time to denounce the Bolshevik Revolution at the Valdai Discussion Club saying:
"Just over a century ago, Russia objectively faced serious problems... Russia could have dealt with its problems gradually and in a civilised manner. But revolutionary shocks led to the collapse and disintegration of a great power... These examples from our history allow us to say that revolutions are not a way to settle a crisis but a way to aggravate it. No revolution was worth the damage it did to the human potential."
How could a statesman so critical of the abuses of capitalism, and so masterful in combatting structures of modern imperialism, bemoan the Bolshevik revolution which gave rise to Soviet Russia? Doesn't Putin respect Soviet Russian accomplishments including the sacrifices made to put down Hitler? How could Putin be a true anti-imperialist if he is an anti-revolutionary?

Peng Shuai, an ex-world number one doubles player, purportedly made a sexual assault claim about former vice premier Zhang Gaoli in a post on the Twitter-like Weibo on Tuesday. The post has since been removed.

China's online censors Thursday scrubbed out a tennis star's reported allegations that a powerful politician sexually assaulted her, the first time that the #MeToo movement has reached the highest echelons of the ruling Communist Party.

Peng Shuai, an ex-world number one doubles player, purportedly made the claim about former vice premier Zhang Gaoli in a post on the Twitter-like Weibo on Tuesday.

Peng reportedly alleged that Zhang, who is now in his seventies, had "forced" her into sex and they had an on-off relationship that lasted several years.

In an animated exchange during a Senate hearing Thursday, Republican Senator Rand Paul grilled Dr. Fauci on his repeated claims that the NIH did not fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Paul cited the NIH's recent admission that it funded experiments in Wuhan designed to make a naturally occurring bat coronavirus more dangerous, and accused Fauci of playing semantic games with the definition of "gain of function" research to avoid admitting that he lied in his previous appearances before the committee.

"Your persistent denials... are not simply a stain in your reputation but a clear and present danger to the country and to the world," Paul said, before demanding that Fauci resign as the director of the NIAID.

Biden's tyrannical vax mandate eyeing new targets via backdoor OSHA requirements

President Joe Biden's controversial workplace vaccine mandate has been revealed, and could soon be made permanent and expanded to small businesses. The Biden administration has already been sued for overreach.

Biden promised in September to strongarm private companies into mandating Covid-19 vaccines for their employers, vowing to enforce the mandates through the Department of Labor's Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA). Though multiple large firms have already started to implement these measures, the OSHA only revealed on Thursday how they will be enforced.

According to a draft entry in the Federal Register, all firms with more than 100 employees - no matter how many locations these employees are spread across - will be required from January 4 to ensure that these employees are "fully vaccinated" against Covid-19. Employers will be asked to keep vaccination records for their staff, and workers who refuse the jab will be required to submit to regular testing and wear face masks to work in most cases.

Comment: Not only does this underhanded move put the onus on private businesses to enforce the (completely unconstitutional) vaccination mandate, it offloads the the financial liability for potential injuries on them too. Despicable.
