This is a great interview. It gives a comprehensive overview of the nexus between organized crime and US, British, and Israeli intelligence services. For an insight into how one tendril of this crime network savagely tears into real lives, see: Mountebank’s Monster and His Mom. ABN
NATO in the horns of a dilemma after former Ukrainian regions vote to join Russia: Scott Ritter
By infusing tens of billions of dollars’ worth of military aid into Ukraine, NATO produced a “game-changing” dynamic designed to throw Russia off balance. By undertaking the referendums in Kherson, Zaporozhye, Donetsk, and Lugansk, Russia changed the game altogether.
The ancient Greeks spoke of lemma as representing a logical premise, a matter taken for granted. This contrasted with a dilemma, or “dual premise”, where one would be presented with an either/or proposition. The Romans furthered this notion, referring to a “double premise” as argumentum cornutum, of the “horned argument,” because by answering one argument, an individual would be impaled by the logic of the second. Thus are the ancient roots of the modern idiom, “on the horns of a dilemma.”
This is the ultimate objective of maneuver warfare, for example: to position your forces in such a manner as to present the enemy with no good option – should they react to one pressing threat, they would find themselves overwhelmed by the other.

Putin’s historic speech finalizes referenda, infuriates Collective West
The first half of this video provides a good analysis of Putin’s speech. It is tragic that Western elites–our cabal–have taken us to this point. There are other ways of analyzing our situation but when we consider how badly Western elites have mangled their own countries and their own peoples, how can we not blame them? The disaster that is and was Western covid policy is but the most recent chapter of elite destructive exploitation of their own peoples, assuming top cabal players are even Western. ABN
Vladimir Putin’s Speech 09/30/22: Signing of treaties on accession of Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics and Zaporozhye and Kherson regions to Russia
President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Citizens of Russia, citizens of the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics, residents of the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, deputies of the State Duma, senators of the Russian Federation,
As you know, referendums have been held in the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics and the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. The ballots have been counted and the results have been announced. The people have made their unequivocal choice.
Today we will sign treaties on the accession of the Donetsk People’s Republic, Lugansk People’s Republic, Zaporozhye Region and Kherson Region to the Russian Federation. I have no doubt that the Federal Assembly will support the constitutional laws on the accession to Russia and the establishment of four new regions, our new constituent entities of the Russian Federation, because this is the will of millions of people.

I have not have time to read this yet, but will do so and may comment after that. The other day we posted a short summary of this speech. We all should read at least that much. It has long been my contention that the greatest foreign policy failure in the world has been the failure of the West to form an alliance with Russia, or at least good relations. I still believe that today. One of the central reasons I liked Donald Trump early on was his desire to get along with Russia. Following the destruction of Nord Stream, the chance of the West establishing healthy relations with Russia has shrunk to near nothing. We face the prospect of WW3 instead. In that event, China will not side with us. What a terrible state we are in today, all due to greed, hubris, and ignorance. ABN
UPDATE: Full speech translated into English beyond the fold. I am posting it so it won’t be lost or too hard to find. I have bolded a few sentences and paragraphs that are central to what Putin is saying. I highly recommend reading the entire speech. It is not that long and provides an extremely important analysis of the world today in Putin’s own words. At the end of his speech I have posted a short critique, which imo is worth reading. ABN

When I was younger, a friend who was a corporate executive told me about “tiger teams,” an approach industry would utilize to solve a complex problem facing them or to develop a plan for achieving a long-term strategic goal. After he vividly described the tenacity with which they attacked their problem, I realized large corporations could be expected to conduct highly strategic and Machiavellian plans over long timelines that would be difficult for anyone but the most talented observer to spot.
Since that time, I’ve also come to appreciate how most businessmen and their industries will default to reusing tools that have previously proven themselves for addressing each new problem that emerges. As a result, once you learn what each of the tools are, it becomes possible to predict each of the sequential steps a tiger team will choose to accomplish its goals.
Since I have held a long-term interest in the politics of vaccination, I have been able to witness the sequential steps that played out first in California and then throughout the nation. What I still find remarkable about these events was how each one directly enabled the subsequent event, and that in many cases, what happened subsequently had previously been promised to never come to pass.
Given everything that I have observed, I am almost certain one or more tiger teams working for the vaccine industry chose to have California be the means through which to accomplish their goal of regular mandatory vaccinations for the entire American population. At this moment, a highly unpopular law that prevents physicians from spreading “misinformation“ by questioning any orthodox perspective on COVID-19 is awaiting the governor’s signature, and if this law passes, it will likely be disastrous for the nation as additional jurisdictions adopt it.
The purpose of this article will be to discuss exactly what brought us to the point a law like that could be on the verge of passing and the important insights that can be taken from the entire process.

This is a terrific overview of everything wrong with how covid has been handled and why. I give it my highest recommendation. It very clearly outlines how sinister forces underlying medicine, information, money, and corruption produced our disastrous covid response. This is a great piece to send to friends and family who are still true believers in “the science.” ABN
Who blew up the pipeline? Robert Barnes on The Duran
James Kirkpatrick
Unfortunately, this is true. If you do not have the sensibility yourself, it is imperative for you to understand that others most certainly do. If all the world is clear-eyed about this, there is no problem as relations can then be negotiated reasonably and transparently. If any part of the world is not clear-eyed about this, it will be infiltrated, overwhelmed and destroyed by those who are clear-eyed but not charitable. The West today is on the verge of annihilation due to infiltration by groups with ancient values that care nothing for your charity but to exploit it. ABN
How to really know another person

So often, we think we know what other people are thinking. But researchers have found that our attempts at reading other people go wrong more often than we realize. This week, we talk with psychologist Tessa West about what we can all do to read people more accurately.

This podcast provides a global view of a fundamental problem with human communication—we often do not understand each other. It also provides a global view of why mind-reading doesn’t work, no matter how you do it. The global-view conclusion of the podcast is the best way to know what someone is thinking is ask them.
I very much endorse everything I heard at the global level. I hope that readers of ABN will see that FIML is a granular level of asking another person what they think. FIML works especially well on the micro level of human subjectivity, which is always unique, always idiosyncratic. If you can follow the reasoning and conclusions of West on the linked podcast, I hope you will be able to see that FIML works with these same basic problems in intimate relations. FIML practice greatly improves intimate relations while at the same time greatly increasing our understanding of our own and our partner’s psychology. FIML does what it does so well it can be thought of as a form of psychotherapy. ABN
Bad communication leads to ulterior motives and pointless suffering
I believe most people in the world are all but forced to resort to ulterior motives when dealing with others or being dealt with by them.
Furthermore, I believe most people are in this position so often they don’t just resort to hidden motivations, they expect them, are habituated to them, rely on them, and even enjoy them even though they cause immense suffering.
This situation arises due to fundamentally bad communication and the mistrust and uncertainty that devolve from it.
If communication is fundamentally bad (ambiguous, misleading, can’t be cleared up), there is no one you can trust but yourself. No one else you can rely on.
You are all but forced to conceal what your really think, feel, or want because you probably won’t be understood if you try to explain yourself honestly. Worse, you may get played.
Your interlocutor may genuinely misunderstand and cause you harm by that or they may feign interest and honesty when they are just gathering dirt to use against you.
Can anyone deny this happens very often? And that normal people have no recourse but to play that game?
An ulterior motive is one that is concealed. A motive that is different from what is being communicated. We all know what that means and how destructive it can be.
Ulterior motives arise because we do not use our communication systems (mainly speech and listening) at all well. Instead of communicating honestly, we try to “read” the other person while at the same time calculating to what extent or how they are “reading” us.
This is a disgusting situation for people to have put themselves in.
This problem can be fixed with one other person, so you can have at least one friend who does not do this to you and to whom you do not do it either. That makes two people who can escape the deadening, anti-life maze of ulterior motivation madness.
The way to do it is through FIML. I do not believe there is any other way.
If many people do FIML, eventually many of us will see the problems of bad communication clearly. Many of us will realize that virtually all people are trapped in a system that all but forces them to lie to others while suffocating themselves.

Edit 10/07/17: Here is a pop culture analysis of how to tell if someone is lying: 9 WAYS TO SPOT A LIAR. Scroll down to the list and notice how crude and dubious these tells are, but this is what many people work with. It’s all we have. With a good partner, FIML can lead you to levels of truth far higher and deeper than this. In this world, we really have to develop FIML relationships to fully explore our own psychology and human psychology in general. Without FIML, you are permanently locked out of your own depths by being trapped in ordinary communication which is accurately characterized by the shallowness of the linked article.

Russia’s primary problem is lack of manpower. Since Russians have no combat effectiveness advantage over Ukrainians, this meant old SMO was to be a static war of attrition trading Russian munitions advantage for Ukrainian manpower advantage. 🧵

Dr Peter McCullough on complete vaccine failure
Readers of ABN knew this would happen even before the mass rollouts. We have reported on the failure of these mRNA treatments throughout. None of the news has been good. We are not alone by any means in hammering the message of covid vaccine injury, but the forces of Big Money and political power combined with a human tendency to go along with the crowd have allowed this travesty to continue even to this day. There are signs the tide is turning, a major one being very low uptake (that’s good!) of toddler vaccines, due to parents and possibly even pediatricians drawing a line to protect the innocent for whom they are responsible.
