North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un has promised to "exponentially" boost the nation's nuclear arsenal in a bid to defend the country against "hostile" forces.

Kim said the isolated state faces "a grave threat" due to "the reckless expansion" of a United States-led regional military bloc that is now developing into a nuclear-based threat, the official Korean Central News Agency reported on Tuesday.

In a speech marking the 76th founding anniversary of his government the previous day, Kim said this development is pushing North Korea to expand its military capabilities.

The Asian country will "redouble its measures and efforts to make all the armed forces of the state, including the nuclear force, fully ready for combat," he promised.

Comment: North Korea has succeeded in fending off the West for so many decades because it isn't naive nor a pushover, and its relatively recent acquisition of nuclear weapons may be part of the reason for its continued sovereignty:

Russia must be prepared to repel any potential military aggression from any direction, Russian President Vladimir Putin said, addressing the participants of the Ocean-2024 command exercise.

"Russia must be ready for any developments. Our armed forces must provide reliable protection of Russia's sovereignty and national interests, repel any military aggression in all directions, including in the ocean and maritime zone," the president emphasized. He added that "the Navy plays a key role in solving this task."

Putin wished the participants of the exercise "success in accomplishing the assigned tasks." "Good luck!" the president encouraged them.

Comment: This occurs amidst a visit by the US and UK to 'show support' for the Kiev-junta, and where Zelensky is expected to propose 'lifting the limit on long-range strikes into Russia'. And it's just a day or so after Kiev launched a terrorist attack using a swarm of drones drone in civilian areas in Moscow:

With so much debate going on over what really happened at the Pentagon on 9/11, and the obvious dire lack of coherent commentators to put and end to it once and for all, I decided that it was high time that I added my own reality-based voice to the debate and, in doing so, allow common sense to finally prevail over the ranting of wild-eyed, hairy-knuckled, missing link type conspiracy theorists and liberals alike.

Kiev has lost thousands of troops and military hardware during its incursion into Russian territory, the Defense Ministry in Moscow says.

Ukraine has lost around 11,400 troops since it launched an incursion into Russia's Kursk Region last month, the Defense Ministry in Moscow said on Monday.

The Russian military has also destroyed over 1,000 units of Ukrainian military hardware, including 89 tanks, 42 infantry fighting vehicles, 74 armored personnel carriers, 635 armored combat vehicles, 371 cars, 85 artillery pieces, and 24 multiple rocket launchers, seven of which were US-made HIMARS systems, the ministry claimed in its latest daily update.

In the course of the last 24 hours alone, Ukraine has lost up to 240 servicemen and 13 units of hardware, the ministry estimated.

During the past day, Russian ground forces, supported by artillery and aviation, have repelled three Ukrainian attacks near the settlements of Mikhailovka, Cherkasskaya Konopelka and Desyatoye Octyabrya, the statement read.

Rearming Germany would take 100 years at current rate, military needs 100B to 'deter' Russia, report says

Germany is rearming too slowly to counter Russia and will need as long as a century to build up parts of its military inventory to the level of 20 years ago, according to a think tank report released Monday.

The analysis by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy says Germany is barely managing to replace the weapons it is sending to help Ukraine's war effort — stocks of air defense systems and howitzers have plummeted, for example — and it's not spending enough to stand up to Russia.

"What Europe needs now is a permanent, substantial and immediate increase in Germany's regular defense spending to at least 2% of GDP," said Guntram Wolff, the report's lead author. "Let's be clear — any 'business as usual' approach would be negligent and irresponsible in the face of Russian aggression."


Comment: It seems that most Germans don't agree, because 60% of Germans are against involvement in the Ukraine war.


Comment: What with Germany's tanking economy, and this apparent call to partly militarise it, it seems Germany's pathocrats may be toying with the idea of literally repeating all of their predecessors (and in some cases their actual ancestors) mistakes - although genocide has been outsourced to Israel - but, for now at least, it seems that its people are not intending to be as cooperative as they once were: The following is an insightful discussion on the political situation in Germany:

SOTT Focus: The 9/11 Enigma: A Quest for Truth

Mossad and moving companies 911
On the morning of September 11, 2001, the world watched in shock as two planes crashed into the World Trade Center, forever changing the course of history. But beneath the surface of this tragic event lies a labyrinth of questions, deceptions, and hidden agendas. In her investigative work, Laura Knight-Jadczyk delves into the intricate web of conspiracies surrounding 9/11, challenging the official narrative and revealing a darker, more complex reality.

The Immediate Aftermath: A Suspicion of Deception

In the days following the attacks, the U.S. government and mainstream media quickly pointed fingers at Al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden. However, Knight-Jadczyk's analysis suggests that this rapid attribution was a deliberate move to mask deeper, more sinister motivations. She argues that the attacks were not the work of Muslim terrorists but were orchestrated by elements within the Israeli Mossad. This provocative claim challenges the conventional understanding and opens the door to a broader investigation into the true perpetrators.

SOTT Focus: The Dancing Israelis: Newly Released FBI Docs Shed Light on Apparent Mossad Foreknowledge of 9/11 Attacks

Dancing Israelis arrested on 9/11

New information released by the FBI has brought fresh scrutiny to the possibility that the "Dancing Israelis," at least two of whom were known Mossad operatives, had prior knowledge of the attacks on the World Trade Center.

For nearly two decades, one of the most overlooked and little known arrests made in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks was that of the so-called "High Fivers," or the "Dancing Israelis." However, new information released by the FBI on May 7th has brought fresh scrutiny to the possibility that the "Dancing Israelis," at least two of whom were known Mossad operatives, had prior knowledge of the attacks on the World Trade Center.

Shortly after 8:46 a.m. on the day of the attacks, just minutes after the first plane struck the World Trade Center, five men - later revealed to be Israeli nationals - had positioned themselves in the parking lot of the Doric Apartment Complex in Union City, New Jersey, where they were seen taking pictures and filming the attacks while also celebrating the destruction of the towers and "high fiving" each other. At least one eyewitness interviewed by the FBI had seen the Israelis' van in the parking lot as early as 8:00 a.m. that day, more than 40 minutes prior to the attack. The story received coverage in U.S. mainstream media at the time but has since been largely forgotten.

Flashback Best of the Web: September 11: Inside Job or Mossad Operation?

Israel's role in the events of September 11, 2001-that shape the 21st century-is the subject of bitter controversy, or rather a real taboo even within the 9/11 Truth Movement, causing the ostracism of the man who dared to broach the subject, Thierry Meyssan. Most advocacy groups, mobilized behind the slogan "9/11 was an Inside Job," remain discreet regarding the evidence involving the secret services of the Jewish state. Laurent Guyénot focuses on certain compelling-though grossly under reported-facts and analyzes the mechanisms of denial.

While Israel's role in the destabilization of the world post-September 11 is becoming increasingly clear, the idea that a faction of Likudniks, aided by their allies embedded in the U.S. State apparatus, are responsible for the false flag operation of September 11 is becoming more difficult to suppress, and some individuals have the courage to state so publicly. Francesco Cossiga, President of Italy between 1985 and 1992, declared on 30 November 2007 to the daily Corriere della Sera:
"From areas around the Palazzo Chigi, nerve centre of direction of Italian intelligence, it is noted that the non-authenticity of the video is supported by the fact that Osama bin Laden in it 'confessed' that Al Qaeda was responsible for the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers in New York. However, all of the democratic areas of America and of Europe, with the Italian center-left in the forefront, now know full well that the disastrous attack was planned and executed by the American CIA and Mossad with the help of the Zionist world to falsely incriminate Arabic countries and to persuade the Western Powers to intervene in Iraq and Afghanistan [1]."
Alan Sabrosky, former professor at the U.S. Army War College and the U.S. Military Academy, did not hesitate to proclaim his belief that September 11 is a "classical operation orchestrated by Mossad" carried out with accomplices within the United States government, and his voice has been forcefully echoed by some U.S. Army veterans sites who are disgusted by the vile war that they were forced to wage on behalf of the September 11 lie or that of the weapons of mass destruction of Saddam Hussein [2].

9/11 for Dummies

Is it true that "9/11 was an inside job"? Yes, insofar as Israel is "inside" the U.S. But for the 9/11 truthers who have identified Israel as the main perpetrators, "9/11 was an inside job" is at best a half-truth, and at worst an integral part of the Zionist operation, like a secondary flag sewn as a lining under the false flag of Islamism. Victor Thorn (1963-2017) wrote in his book 9/11 made in Israel: The Plot Against America (2011): "In essence, the '9-11 truth movement' was created prior to Sept. 11, 2001 as a means of suppressing news relating to Israeli complicity. . . . The slogan '9-11 was an inside job' was quite possibly the greatest example of Israeli propaganda ever devised." In milder terms, it is "controlled opposition".

A genuine truth movement would have pointed to Israel as the prime suspect from the start. From day one, it was obvious who would benefit. At 1 pm New York time on the day of the attacks, George Friedman ("born in Budapest, Hungary, to Jewish parents who survived the Holocaust," Wikipedia informs us) wrote gleefully on his geopolitical website STRATFOR:

Comment: As part of our commemoration of 9-11, the opening of 'the gates of hell' 23 years ago, we are running this infamous piece that invoked the ire of the COINTELPRO masters operating behind certain 'alternative media' forums, forcing us to move this article to a different server for 2 years.

After the release of the QFG Pentagon Strike Flash Animation on August 23rd, 2004, a virtual deluge of new articles were published that sought to dismiss the "no plane at the Pentagon" theory. One such article, that is frequently referenced by certain '9/11 researchers' was authored by a member of the forum at the "Above Top Secret" (ATS) website. Interestingly, the article was written just a few weeks after the release of the Pentagon Strike Flash animation, which by then, was winging its way around the world and into the inboxes of millions of ordinary citizens. Perhaps you were one of them...
