The US patrol did not give prior notice to the Russians when they allegedly violated a disengagement agreement.

Russian soldiers blocked the path of a US military patrol in northeastern Syria on Saturday for allegedly violating a security protocol, according to Russian media.

Four US armoured vehicles were turned back along the M4 road, 10 kilometres west of the town of Tal Tamr, Hassakeh province, after Russian troops intervened, state-controlled outlet RT reported, quoting Kurdish sources.

Vatican's 'unprecedented' challenge to Italy's homophobia law that requires schools to organise "ceremonies" for LGBTI issues

The Vatican argued in a letter that the bill violates the Concordat, the bilateral treaty between Rome and the Holy See, by curtailing Catholic freedom of belief and expression
The Vatican confirmed Tuesday it had lodged a diplomatic protest against a draft Italian law on homophobia, in what was described as an "unprecedented" act of interference in Italy's affairs.

The so-called Zan law, currently being debated in Italy's parliament, seeks to punish acts of discrimination and incitement to violence against gay, lesbian, transgender and disabled people.

According to the Corriere della Sera newspaper, the Vatican argued in a letter, or "note verbale", that the bill violates the Concordat, the bilateral treaty between Rome and the Holy See, by curtailing Catholic freedom of belief and expression.

Question

Have the Great Reset technocrats really thought this through?

The only thing left to destroy in a world populated by elites alone, are other elites. It would seem that the desire to dominate others does not simply come to an end on its own.

With the UN World Food Program announcing that some 270 million people worldwide now face starvation, the ongoing debate about the real aims of the technocracy is profound. The question is whether their aim tends more towards major population reduction, or more towards a new type of slavery.

It appears that philosophical and long-term practical questions remain a mystery. We will argue that evil, not simply the influence of the base upon the superstructure, is at the core of this endeavor. We have defined evil as inflicting the highest degree of pain upon the greatest number of resisting subjects. In short, we have defined evil as sadism, inflicting evil because it brings satisfaction to those inflicting it.

Because evil is fundamentally a destructive force, it cannot create anything: nothing in it is truly novel nor of use to humanity. Its pleasures are short-lived and spurious. It is unsustainable, self-defeating, ultimately leading to self-destruction.

We have adequately assessed from any number of sources that nefarious interests are behind this process, who seek to make the process also about the exercise of power, in addition to several other aims (remaining in power, exercising power in ways consistent with their occult beliefs about evil, etc.). We understand that they are 'evil' because they involve a type of 'power-over' (as opposed to power-with/consent) which derives this power from fear-mongering and terrorism upon the population. Terrorism here is defined as the operationalized use of fear, pain, and other injury towards socio-political aims.

Had their plans not been rooted in evil, they would have used soft-power tactics like manufacturing consent, to arrive at their ends.

Russia's human rights chief slams 'dishonest' mandatory Covid-19 vaccine programs, warning people shouldn't be FORCED to take jab

Russia's human rights commissioner has said she is receiving a large number of appeals from citizens over new rules requiring many workers in public-facing jobs to sign up for coronavirus vaccines, amid a new spike in infections.

Ombudsman Tatiana Moskalkova, the country's civil-liberties watchdog, told listeners to the Vesti FM radio station on Tuesday that she was concerned about the measures that have been imposed in Moscow, St Petersburg and in a number of other regions. In the Russian capital, 60% of employees working in industries like hospitality, transport and entertainment venues will have to have received the jab.

"I believe that pushing vaccinations in this way is a dishonest game - a dishonest action," she said. "Of course, the idea itself is correct, to protect society," Moskalkova added, warning, however, that "the mechanisms by which it is being implemented are giving rise to mass psychosis and making people fear coercion."


Comment: Indeed. That seems to be a significant part of this nefarious agenda.


Comment: Coercing and forcing vaccines and IDs didn't work in Israel, it's highly unlikely it will work in Russia. Not just yet, anyway: Vaccine passports backfire - the case of Israel shows that

Unlimited ego: Fauci dismisses criticism over emails as 'nonsense' and 'ANTI-ME' rhetoric

Dr. Anthony Fauci
President Joe Biden's chief medical adviser, Dr.Anthony Fauci, this week said criticism pertaining to his recently released email correspondence is "nonsense" and "anti-me" as he touted his record of "saving lives."

Earlier in the month, thousands of Fauci's emails were released via Freedom of Information Act requests from Buzzfeed and the Washington Post. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, quickly came under fire from conservatives for several messages that appeared to show him contradicting public health guidance and attempting to downplay the validity of the theory that the coronavirus emerged from a lab in Wuhan, China.

"But once I knew that it got out there and it was going to get very carefully scrutinized by very far-right, radical people who clearly are trying to discredit me — no doubt about that — that's political," Fauci said of the email dump on a segment of the podcast Sway from the New York Times, which was released on Monday. "It's clear. It's anti-science, and it's anti-me," adding that "every single one of those emails can be explained in a way that is perfectly normal, perfectly innocent, and completely above board."

Comment: Fauci's self-congratulation has an element of short memory. Not so those who suffered through the HIV crisis in the 80s. They hold him personally responsible for thousands of deaths.

Russiagate's queen goes for the Tucker defense: Court rules Maddow's audience knows she offers exaggeration and opinion, not facts

"Maddow's show is different than a typical news segment where anchors inform viewers about the daily news," an Obama-appointed judge ruled.

MSNBC's top-rated host Rachel Maddow devoted a segment in 2019 to accusing the right-wing cable outlet One America News (OAN) of being a paid propaganda outlet for the Kremlin. Discussing a Daily Beast article which noted that one OAN reporter was a "Russian national" who was simultaneously writing copy for the Russian-owned outlet Sputnik on a freelance contract, Maddow escalated the allegation greatly into a broad claim about OAN's real identity and purpose: "in this case," she announced, "the most obsequiously pro-Trump right wing news outlet in America really literally is paid Russian propaganda."

In response, OAN sued Maddow, MSNBC, and its parent corporation Comcast, Inc. for defamation, alleging that it was demonstrably false that the network, in Maddow's words, "literally is paid Russian propaganda." In an oddly overlooked ruling, an Obama-appointed federal judge, Cynthia Bashant, dismissed the lawsuit on the ground that even Maddow's own audience understands that her show consists of exaggeration, hyperbole, and pure opinion, and therefore would not assume that such outlandish accusations are factually true even when she uses the language of certainty and truth when presenting them ("literally is paid Russian propaganda").

Psaki backdates crime surge in attempt to undercut links to protests, cop defund push, but cold statistics tell the real story

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Monday appeared to embrace a Democratic argument that anti-brutality protests and the subsequent 'Defund the Police' push aren't to blame for rising crime — despite statistics that suggest otherwise.

Psaki said crime began increasing about 18 months ago when the COVID-19 pandemic started — and not 13 months ago with the nationwide protests and riots that followed the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis cop.

"There's been actually a rise in crime over the last five years, but really the last 18 months," Psaki said at her daily press briefing, ahead of a speech by Biden on Wednesday on rising crime, which Psaki said the White House believes is actually linked to the availability of guns.

Comment: Reality wins out. Witness Chicago's plight, where lunatic Mayor Lightfoot has pushed her defund police platform:
Sixteen people were shot, seven of them fatally, on Monday alone in Mayor Lori Lightfoot's (D) Chicago.

NBC 5 reported that fatalities began at 9:45 a.m. when a 67-year-old man was shot dead in a road rage incident.

The Chicago Sun-Times noted that the next fatality occurred about 3:40 p.m., when a 23-year-old man was shot and killed while sitting in a vehicle in East Garland Park.

The Times pointed out that two people, an 18-year-old woman and a 20-year-old man, were shot dead in Woodlawn Park at about 5:40 p.m. Both victims sustained gunshot wounds to the head and were pronounced dead at the scene.

NBC 5 also observed that a 28-year-old man was shot and killed about 8:40 p.m. while "working on his car" in "the 10400 block of South Eggleston Avenue." The man was shot multiple times, transported to a hospital, and pronounced dead.

A 32-year-old man was shot and killed while sitting in a vehicle around 9:40 p.m. He was in the vehicle with a woman "in the 11800 block of South Michigan Avenue" when someone opened fire, killing him and wounding her.

Minutes later, a 19-year-old was shot and killed while sitting in the passenger seat of a vehicle "in the 300 block of West 52nd Place."

Breitbart News explained that 49 people were shot, five fatally, over Father's Day weekend in Mayor Lightfoot's Chicago.
The benighted policy of cutting policing budgets plus the installation of Soros-backed, soft on crime AGs, has led to this debacle. But don't believe your lying eyes.

New evidence shows COVID-19 was in US weeks before previously thought

Blood sample

Some of the blood specimens collected in the United States for the NIH's All of Us research program starting on January 2, 2020, have antibodies against SARS-CoV-2.

In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in the US, officials focused limited testing capacity on symptomatic people who had recently traveled to or been in close contact with someone who had traveled to places with confirmed outbreaks of SARS-CoV-2. A year later, it's clear that some proportion of viral transmission — perhaps as high as 50 percent — comes from presymptomatic or asymptomatic individuals, making it difficult to trace transmission.

In a study published in Clinical Infectious Diseases June 15, researchers analyzed blood collected between January 2 and March 18, 2020, and found antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in samples from nine people in five US states, meaning that the virus was likely present in the US in late 2019.

Ashley St. John, an infectious disease researcher at Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore who was not involved in the study, reported:
"We suspected that there were probably cases that preceded the ones that were diagnosed and confirmed. This is very suggestive that there were probably multiple exposures prior to those initial cases. We can probably use serology to find potentially even earlier exposures in a similar way."

Comment: Finally someone is cracking the shell on the timing and location(s) of the virus via antibodies in the US. More answers...more questions.

Trump: 'I have not conceded' 2020 loss; might have 'different president' now if not for Pence choice

Former President Donald Trump said Monday that he has not conceded the 2020 presidential race, that if the election is proven fraudulent it will be up to the public and "perhaps politicians" to decide how to respond, and that if Mike Pence had sent disputed election results back to state legislatures for review the country "might very well have a different president right now."

Trump told Just the News' Water Cooler in an exclusive interview on Real America's Voice.
"No, I never admitted defeat. We have a lot of things happening right now ... all you have to do is read the newspapers and see what's coming out now."
Last week during an interview with conservative commentator Sean Hannity, Trump had remarked about the 2020 contest that
"shockingly, we were supposed to win easily at 64 million votes and we got 75 million votes and we didn't win, but let's see what happens on that."
On the possibility of being reinstated as president if the 2020 contest is verified as fraudulent, Trump said such a decision would be "up to public" or "perhaps politicians."
"If the election was fraudulent, people are gonna have to make up their own minds. It's not gonna be up to me. It's gonna be up to the public. It's gonna be up to, perhaps, politicians. I don't think there's ever been a case like this where hundreds of thousands of votes will be found. So we'll have to see what happens."

Offering millions in support, taking it away on a whim, Washington acts 'immorally' with Kiev, says Russian Foreign Ministry

Following the decision to freeze $100-million-worth of military aid due to be sent to Ukraine, the Russian Foreign Ministry has accused the US of acting immorally in its policy towards Kiev, and playing games for its own benefit.

According to spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, Washington's decision to keep the money, despite once pledging it, shows how the US is manipulating both the citizens and leadership of Ukraine. When the support was initially proposed, it benefited Washington. A few months later, the situation has changed, and the US immediately changed its mind. Zakharova said:
"This is a classic game with Ukraine on the part of the US. It is maneuvering and flirting. This [has been] a constant deception of the citizens of Ukraine for many years."
The spokeswoman's statement comes after the White House denied temporarily freezing an aid package to Kiev worth up to $100 million. According to the publication Politico, Washington pledged the money earlier this spring, following a military build-up on both sides of the Ukraine-Russia border. The package was due to include "short-range air defense systems, small arms, and more anti-tank weapons," it was reported. However, shortly before the landmark summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart, Joe Biden, last week, the White House allegedly put the package on hold.

Comment: Whether this is bait and switch or timing choice, the message from the US is quite clear: 'We are in control - period.'
