Former US President Donald Trump is eligible to remain on Michigan's 2024 presidential primary ballot for the Republican Party, a state court has ruled. A local activist group had sought to bar Trump from running for office by filing an "insurrection" lawsuit against him.

Michigan Court of Claims judge James Redford delivered the ruling on Tuesday. The decision followed a legal bid by liberal activist group Free Speech for People, which had claimed that Trump's alleged role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot should disqualify him from campaigning for elected office.

In his verdict, Redford explained that deciding if the events of January 6 represented a "rebellion or insurrection, or whether or not someone participated in it" should be deferred to Congress. He further stressed that Michigan's electoral authorities do not have the power to remove Trump from the ballot.

Pentagon using 'banned' Russian oil - WaPo

Forbidden petroleum products have continued to flow to the US military through a Greek refinery, the outlet says...

The Pentagon is bypassing Washington's own sanctions against Russia as it continues to buy petroleum products made from its oil, which takes a circuitous route to a US military supplier despite an ongoing embargo, a Washington Post investigation revealed on Tuesday.

Petroleum products made from Russian oil have continued to flow via a key Pentagon fuel supplier, the Motor Oil Hellas refinery on the Aegean Sea in Greece. The vital fuel is sent from Russian Black Sea ports through an oil storage facility in Türkiye, the outlet said, citing ship-tracking data.

The route reportedly helped disguise the Russian origin of the oil products, as they "changed hands multiple times before they reached Greece." On paper, the Motor Oil Hellas refinery sourced fuel from the Dortyol shipping terminal in Türkiye.

Ship-tracking records and trade data revealed that since the EU and G7 sanctions on Russian petroleum products took effect this past February, Russian deliveries to Dortyol have totaled 2.7 million barrels, or more than 69% of the fuel oil shipped by sea.

Comment: Given Biden has trickled-out the US oil industry, this hushed 'work-around' has distinct advantages.

Lavrov: Iran and Lebanon want to avoid 'big war'

Moscow does not believe that Iran, Lebanon, or militant group Hezbollah want the Israel-Palestine war to escalate into a broader regional conflict, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has told RT.

Concerns continue to be raised that the fighting between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas could spark a wider war in the Middle East.

Israeli officials have threatened to bomb Lebanese capital Beirut in a similar way to their campaign in Gaza, while some US hawks have called for an attack on Iran.

Moscow, however, believes there is "no appetite" for a major conflict in Lebanon or Iran, Lavrov stated, adding that neither country wants "any involvement in this crisis."

While there have been border clashes between Israeli troops and the Lebanon-based Hezbollah, an organization "devoted to defending the Palestinian cause," Lavrov claimed that recent televised remarks by the militant group's leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, suggest that it has "no appetite for a big war."

That may change if Hezbollah is provoked into action by an attempt to force Palestinians out of Gaza, the Russian diplomat warned.

SOTT Focus: Netanyahu's TWO Genocides: 'Covid Vaccines' and the 'October Surprise'

Mark Crispin Miller
Off-Guardian
Tue, 31 Oct 2023 00:00 UTC
Israelis know that he LET Hamas slaughter them, in furtherance of the vast depopulation effort started by the "vaccination" drive dictated by his GLOBALIST cohorts
Netanyahu’s TWO genocides
The following piece went up the day before the bloody raid on Israel, telling of a child who had "died suddenly" of cardiac arrest, at eight years old — three years after being used by Israel's "health" establishment (and, specifically, his own father, a pediatrician) to get Israeli children "vaccinated," and obey all other "COVID measures."

covid death 8 year old
Although the Israeli media has blacked out all such news as thoroughly as in (say) Canada, Australia and New Zealand (and China), the toll of "vaccination" there, in that small country, has been so obvious that many people get it, though most have kept that awareness to themselves.

Comment: While we do think that Netanyahu and his government have harbored long-held ambitions that could only be fulfilled, in their minds, with an atrocity like that on October 7th - i.e., Israel's 911, Miller raises a few very interesting points.

If the Zionist regime is so hell bent on creating 'Eretz Israel' (Greater Israel) at the horrible expense of the Palestinian people, then why would the Israeli government poison its own populace - unless it thought that some elements of its own population were expendable as well?

While psychopaths in positions of power are well known to be lacking in insight, and ultimately something of a cancer to their own people, and simply indifferent to the health and well being of the individuals they govern, it's possible that the Netanyahu regime is simply paying the price of admission to the globalist cabal's elite club of eugenicist maniacs.

There may be another component. Israel, like the US and the UK, has long been developing ethnic-specific weapons, a tool it thinks might help it achieve hegemony on a racial level as well.

Some among the Israeli Jewish population share common ancestry with the Palestinians, "undesirable" traits which the Israeli elite may be seeking to destroy.

We already know that certain batches of the Covid vaccine are much more dangerous than others, and are probably loaded with all manner of exotic nano technology for "special future uses."

As we've outlined previously, the US has developed such weapons to be used against Russians. Why not the Israeli regime and against the Palestinians? Or against some from among their own?

Clown world: Leaked NSA doc reveals massive woke glossary pushing Critical Race Theory, gender ideology at intel agency

The logo of the U.S. National Security Agency is seen during a visit by U.S. President George W. Bush to the agency's installation in Fort Meade, Maryland, January 25, 2006.
NSA's 34 page glossary defines hundreds of social justice terms including "white fragility," "transmisogyny," and "settler colonialism"

The National Security Agency, responsible for monitoring threats both foreign and domestic for the U.S. military, assumed a new responsibility under the Biden administration — creating a massive glossary of woke terms for employees, ranging from "anti-racist" to the gender-neutral pronouns "ze" and "zir."

A copy of the NSA's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Glossary obtained and verified by The Daily Wire shows the agency now provides definitions for terms such as "queer theory" and "white fragility," as part of its expansive guide to 327 social justice terms that blame "white Europeans" for engaging in "settler colonialism" and warn of "transmisogyny."

The 34-page document, published internally on May 6th, 2022, but never released publicly before The Daily Wire's investigation, pushes blatantly left-wing views on race and sex. It explicitly endorses the tenets of Critical Race Theory and Queer Theory, both of which are included as terms on the glossary.

Comment: Seems "National Security" isn't even on the list of NSA priorities. But they're plenty happy to spy on U.S. citizens, perhaps to charge them with wrongspeak?.

Best of the Web: How the United States and its NATO allies sabotaged a peace between Russia and Ukraine

We now know that the United States played the primary role in sabotaging the March 29, 2022 tentative peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine thanks to the recently published article by Hajo Funke and Harald Kujat, "HOW THE CHANCE WAS LOST FOR A PEACE SETTLEMENT OF THE UKRAINE WAR — AND THE WEST WANTED TO CONTINUE THE WAR INSTEAD". The United States persuaded its NATO allies that pursuing the war against Russia, using Ukraine as a proxy, offered a legitimate opportunity to destroy Russia. You want a definition of evil? This is it. Instead of helping end the war between Russia and Ukraine, the United States and its NATO puppets condemned hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers to death in a war with Russia they could not win.

In the course of strong arming Ukraine's Zelensky into rejecting the peace agreement, the West prepared and launched a propaganda campaign that claimed that Ukrainian military forces defeated the Russian forces and compelled them to retreat. It was a lie. As you will read in the timeline below, Putin ordered the withdrawal of Russian forces starting on April 1, 2022 as a good faith gesture about Russia's seriousness in complying with the 29 March Istanbul Agreement.

'Absurd': Germany's Scholz rejects Erdogan's comment that Israel is 'fascist'

Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Tuesday that Recep Tayyip Erdogan's accusation of fascism against Israel was "absurd," days before the German leader is due to host the Turkish president for talks in Berlin.

Israel "is a democracy" and "a country that is bound to human rights and international law and acts accordingly.


Comment: Except experts in international law across the planet have condemned Israel's escalation as 'textbook' ethnic cleansing and genocide.


Therefore, the accusations against Israel are absurd," Scholz told a press conference.

He was responding to a question about Erdogan's comment on Friday that Israel's legitimacy was "being questioned due to its own fascism."

Comment: Those in power who are choosing to excuse, and even facilitate, Israel's crimes against humanity are exposing their true natures to the increasing number of citizens who are not falling for the propaganda:

Washington 'doesn't want to stop Israel' - Lavrov to RT

The US does not want to constrain Israel's military actions against the Palestinian armed group Hamas in Gaza, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an exclusive interview to RT on Wednesday.

When asked to comment on why he believed the US vetoed Russia's resolutions in the UN seeking to stop the hostilities in the Palestinian enclave, Lavrov suggested that Washington "is highly ideologized."

"Anything coming from Russia is taken as a hostile act... But on substance, and on practical terms Washington does not want to tie Israel's hands," he said.

Lavrov pointed out that such an approach works with West Jerusalem, adding that the US tried to persuade Israel to be "a little flexible" on supplies of humanitarian assistance to hospitals in the besieged enclave, as well as on letting foreigners out.
But the key reason, I believe, is that Washington does not want to stop [them] the way Israel does not like.
The first Russian-sponsored resolution on the Middle Eastern crisis, which erupted when Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel on October 7, called for an immediate ceasefire and condemned all acts of terrorism. However, the document, which was proposed about one week after the hostilities began, was blocked by the US, UK, France - permanent members of UN Security Council - and Japan.

Comment: It works for the US government to let Israel do as it wills in Gaza as it brings the long-standing goal of a direct confrontation with Iran that much closer.

US quietly ramps up delivery of munitions to Israel, some arms sent from Europe - Bloomberg

© APIsraeli forces raid a Palestinian town of Tulkarem, West Bank, Tuesday, Nov. 14, 2023. As of late October, deliveries included all 36,000 rounds of 30mm cannon ammunition, 1,800 of the requested M141 bunker-buster munitions, and a minimum of 3,500 night-vision devices.
The Pentagon has quietly increased military assistance to Israel, fulfilling requests for additional laser-guided missiles for its Apache gunship fleet, 155mm shells, night-vision devices, bunker-buster munitions, and new army vehicles, Bloomberg quoted an internal Defence Department list, dated late October and titled "Israel Senior Leader" requests, currently circulating within the Pentagon as saying.

The military aid to Israel goes beyond the widely known provision of Iron Dome interceptors and Boeing Co. smart bombs. Despite increasing caution from Biden administration officials, advising Israel to minimize civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip, the supply of weapons continues.

The document reviewed by Bloomberg News indicates that the arms requested by Israel in its conflict with Hamas, designated as a terrorist group by the US and European Union, are either in the process of being shipped or the Defence Department is working to make them available from stockpiles in the US and Europe.

Comment: Whilst the West has tried to be discrete, it's direct support and involvement in the slaughter of Palestinians, and the escalation of tensions in the Middle East, is clear:

Nikki Haley proposes requiring social media users to verify their identities over 'national security' concerns

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Tuesday proposed forcing social media users to verify their identities before posting, citing "national security" concerns.

The former South Carolina governor's plan is part of a set of social media reforms aimed at transparency — which she pushed during an appearance on Fox News — that has rankled some of her primary opponents.

"When I get into office, the first thing we have to do, social media accounts, social media companies, they have to show America their algorithms," Haley said. "Let us see why they're pushing what they're pushing."

"The second thing is, every person on social media should be verified, by their name. That's, first of all, it's a national security threat. When you do that, all of a sudden, people have to stand by what they say. And it gets rid of the Russian bots, the Iranian bots and the Chinese bots. And then you're going to get some civility when people know their name is next to what they say, and they know their pastor and their family members are going to see it," the 51-year-old former Trump administration official added.

Two of Haley's GOP primary opponents - entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis - blasted her proposal.
