This is how they convinced themselves that killing all of Ukraine’s young men was justified. Next, the campaign donations and lucrative no-show jobs will roll in from the investment funds that bought Ukrainian farmland the dead soldiers will no longer be able to cultivate. They also were able to kill a lot of Russians and destroy evidence the biolabs ever existed. According to them, they are heroes for standing with Ukraine. Not to mention, Zelensky is not even Ukrainian as are none of Ukraine’s oligarchs, save one. ABN

‘They must realize the Vampire Ball is ending’ — Putin

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

I hope Trump will do everything he can to get along with Putin and repair Russia’s horrible estrangement from the rest of Europe. It is Europe, NATO and USA that drove Russia away rather than form a mutually beneficial and friendly alliance with them. In fact, Putin himself showed interest in Russia joining NATO in 2000. It was evil to drive Russia away, dog them like this and provoke wars. I hope Trump and his people see this scenario and take action to fully embrace Russia as a major part of Europe and Western civilization, which is their incontrovertible historical heritage. ABN

More BS from Lipstadt — Kevin MacDonald

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Deborah Lipstadt, who is firmly on the left and got in trouble by her past statements on Republicans during her confirmation hearing, is confident that the Trump 2.0 will be good for the Jews and she is probably right. “Lipstadt’s recent insistence that the incoming Trump administration will be well-equipped to handle antisemitism is a strong, if surprising, marker of the goodwill that President-elect Donald Trump has generated on combating antisemitism.”

Actually, not surprising at all. Trump’s appointments to the Middle East are all pro-Israel fanatics and he has stated that if Gaza doesn’t release the hostages by the time he becomes president, “all hell will break loose.” Our antiwar president going to war right off the bat. Very disappointing, and a horrible way to start Trump 2.0.

Notice that Lipstadt claims that opposition to Israeli actions in Gaza is nothing more than anti-Semitism, asserting that Jews become stand-ins for “anti-democracy, anti-capitalism, anti-Western values.” I see it a bit differently. As always, conflicts of interest are at the root of anti-Semitism, and Jewish activists frame their interests as a moral crusade in an effort to persuade the gullible and uninformed even while inflicting massive casualties on a defenseless population. Lipstadt is taking advantage of the fact that Jews dominate the West to the point that Jewish interests and attitudes have come to virtually define the West. And since the West has retained its dominant global position, Lipstadt and Israel can completely ignore any and all complaints about its genocide in Gaza knowing full well that there will be no negative repercussions. And of course, democracy and Western values like free speech, individualism, and deemphasis on ethnocentrism and the priority of ethnic identification are entirely antithetical to the mainstream Jewish community throughout its history and into the present. If democracy was a Jewish ideal, Israel would allow all Palestinians in their control to vote. Generations of Jewish intellectuals wouldn’t have sided with the Soviet Union during its most murderous period. And as an elite with very large influence in the media and politics throughout the West (think Israel Lobby in the U.S.), they wouldn’t be the main force behind the anti-White hatred that is now entirely mainstream throughout the West beginning with the influence of the Frankfurt School and other groups of Jewish intellectuals. This anti-White hate is now eagerly embraced by non-Whites that Jewish elites have imported and promoted as fellow victims in Western societies.

Analysis of Chinese Mafia in Maine and how it was born and flourished during the Mills administration

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Here’s a map plotting the properties that the Dept. of Homeland Security has said are associated with Asian Transnational Criminal Organizations, aka Chinese mafia, in Maine.

The entire Chinese mafia problem sprung up on @GovJanetMills’ watch, right after the Consul of China’s Consulate in NYC, Huang Ping, attended Mills’ inauguration.

She has yet to utter a word about it.

Also, her brother has clients who are involved.

Ric Grenell confirmed as Presidential Envoy for Special Missions

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

It is all coming together nicely.  With Lt General Keith Kellogg special envoy to Ukraine and Russia, and with the appointment of Steven C. Witkoff to be Special Envoy to the Middle East, President Trump has essentially created a construct that works around the insufferable issues with a globalist State Department.

Senator Marco Rubio was nominated for Secretary of State, thereby removing him from the Senate Intelligence Committee and leadership role in Gang of Eight intel; but Trump simultaneously put in guardrails against the neocon tendencies of the Florida Senator and junior McCain.

Rubio doesn’t have Ukraine/Russia in his portfolio, nor does he have diplomatic or policy control over the Middle East.  President Trump has neutered the State Department, and the cherry on the proverbial cake is what he just announced.

Yes, President Trump has just confirmed that Ric Grenell will be the “Emissary” we have discussed.  Great job Mr President (for all the obvious reasons).

With Nunes leading a private intel advisory committee and with Grenell being the most powerful, agile and flexible person to run strategic foreign policy operations, the tentacle influence of the Deep State is removed from the Oval Office.  Now the official cabinet team can start pouring sunlight into the silos.

Without a doubt in my mind, the “emissary” is the most important person President Trump will select.

The Washington DC Intelligence Community (IC) actively work to isolate the office of the president.  This is an almost impossible dynamic to avoid, caused by an entrenched and ideological adversary who has dug themselves deep into the apparatus of government.

The “emissary” is the person who carries the word of President Trump to any person identified by President Trump.  The emissary is very much like a tape recording of President Trump in human form.  The emissary travels to a location, meets a particular person or group, and then recites the opinion of the President.  The words spoken by the emissary, are the words of President Trump.

The IC cannot inject themselves into this dynamic; that is why it is so valuable.

Uyghur fighters in Syria vow to come for China next

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

A Uyghur militant group that helped to topple Bashar-al Assad has vowed to take the fight to China.

The Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP) threatened Beijing in a video released on Dec 8, the day the Syrian regime collapsed, showing its fighters holding machine guns and wearing military fatigues.

“Now here in Syria, in all the cities here, we fight for Allah, and we will continue to do this in our Urumchi, Aqsu and Kashgar in the future,” said one masked man, listing cities in China’s Xinjiang region, from where the Uyghurs hail. “We will chase the Chinese infidels away.”

Using the Uyghurs’ preferred name for their homeland, he added: “We have fought in Homs, in Idlib and we will continue the fight in East Turkistan.

“Allah has given us a victory here. May he also grant us a victory in our own land.”

Samadhi

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Samādhi (Pali and Sanskrit: समाधि), in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and yogic schools, is a state of meditative consciousness. In many Indian religious traditions, the cultivation of Samādhi through various meditation methods is essential for the attainment of spiritual liberation (known variously as nirvana, moksha).[1]

In Buddhism, it is the last of the eight elements of the Noble Eightfold Path.[web 1] In the Ashtanga Yoga tradition, it is the eighth and final limb identified in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.[2][3] In Jain meditation, samadhi is considered one of the last stages of the practice just prior to liberation.[4]

In the oldest Buddhist sutras, on which several contemporary western Theravada teachers rely, it refers to the development of an investigative and luminous mind which is equanimous and mindful. In the yogic traditions, and the Buddhist commentarial tradition on which the Burmese Vipassana movement and the Thai Forest tradition rely, it is interpreted as a meditative absorption or trance, attained by the practice of dhyāna.[5]

With so much now depending on what Christians, Jews and Muslims think and do and how they interact so poorly with each other and any one else and how their beliefs are based on old stories and not much else, this may be a good time to remind or inform anyone who wants to listen that there are much older and deeper traditions of the mind including how individuals should conduct themselves morally, ethically, spiritually. Samadhi states are but one aspect of ancient traditions that vastly predate Judaism and Christianity and also provide much deeper insights into the workings of the human mind and how to deal with the ever-changing conditions of life. The way the Abrahamic religions are behaving today is an embarrassment to all of humanity. ABN

Standing with Israel has not blessed America — Rev Matthew Littlefield

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

…the idea that standing with Israel has blessed America is not only wrong, it actually becomes quite absurd the more that you look.

I should note before I go any further that I do not write these arguments with any intended antagonism towards America. Quite the opposite actually. America is a great nation that has achieved much good in the world over time. And it saddens me to see such a great nation diminished by such bad ideas. It is also worse that a great source of this problem stems from heterodox teachings from the evangelical church in the United States, especially. The church has a lot to answer for in the way it has mislead Americans on so many topics. From prosperity heresy to giving a shroud of cover for forever wars in the Middle East, the Church has done a lot of damage in America and has blasphemed the name of Christ in the process.

And it is without dispute that the Church is largely to blame for this. As Israeli scholar Ilan Pappe notes, “The Christian and Jewish lobbies for Israel, at least until now, were deemed the most important ones by Israel. And extraordinarily, it seeks their help in gaining legitimacy in this century as well.”[1] Without the evangelical church’s focus on artificially restoring the nation of Israel this effort would not have been possible. This support for Israel did not just spring up after the fact, as some people assume.

…I know for many of you reading this you are aware of this evangelical support helping prop up Israel from the beginning. But I have had people deny it to me, so I feel like it needs to be thoroughly established. This support is both well documented and widely so. Therefore, the entire project of modern Israel can legitimately be seen as a test case for the idea that standing with Israel brings blessings to those who support it. And in America’s case, this is clearly not what has happened.

Elena Lasconi announces pro-Europe rally in Bucharest ahead of presidential runoff

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Presidential candidate Elena Lasconi, the leader of the reformist party Save Romania Union (USR), announced a pro-European rally in Bucharest’s Victoriei Square this Thursday, December 5. 

“Join me in the march to support European values,” Lasconi urged in a message shared Tuesday evening. The rally is scheduled for 5:00 PM in Victorei Square, as detailed in the official Facebook event.

Elena Lasconi advanced to the second round of Romania’s presidential elections, scheduled for December 8, alongside ultranationalist independent candidate Călin Georgescu. She has repeatedly positioned herself as pro-Europe and pro-democracy, opposing Georgescu’s controversial stance on Romania’s EU and NATO membership. 

In older interviews and statements, ultranationalist Călin Georgescu, the frontrunner in the first round with roughly 2.1 million votes, has questioned Romania’s membership in the EU and NATO. As these declarations started to surface after his shocking first-round win, young people and students across Romania began taking to the streets to voice their support for European democracy and opposition to nationalist and extremist ideologies.

Thus, the presidential runoff between Lasconi and Georgescu has been shaping up to be a contest between pro-European reformism and ultranationalist skepticism.

Chaos in South Korea: Civilians clash with military and choppers land on parliament as president stuns the world by declaring MARTIAL LAW, claiming lawmakers sympathetic to Kim Jong Un are subverting parliament

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

South Korea‘s President Yoon Suk Yeol sensationally declared emergency martial law today, accusing his political opposition of subverting parliament and railing against ‘pro-North Korea, anti-state forces’ in his country.

The shocking late-night address triggered chaos on the streets in Seoul where hordes of angry citizens clashed with riot cops and security forces outside the National Assembly. 

South Korea’s military proclaimed that under martial law, parliament and other political gatherings that could cause ‘social confusion’ would be suspended and anyone found to violate the regulations could be arrested without a warrant. 

In his address Yoon vowed ‘to protect the free Republic of Korea from the threat of North Korean communist forces, to eradicate the despicable pro-North Korean anti-state forces plundering the happiness of our people and to protect the constitutional order.’

‘With no regard for the livelihoods of the people, the opposition party has paralysed governance solely for the sake of impeachments, special investigations, and shielding their leader from justice… Through this martial law, I will rebuild and protect the free Republic of Korea, which is falling into the depths of national ruin,’ he said.

But the speech sparked an immediate outpouring of anger as disgruntled citizens marched on the capital’s parliament building.

Under martial law, the martial law commander, appointed by the president on the recommendation of the defence minister among active-duty generals, has the power to take actions related to arrests of persons, search and seizure, speech and the press, and assembly.

The commander has authority over all administrative and judicial matters.

‘All political activities, including those of the National Assembly, local councils, political parties, and political associations, as well as assemblies and demonstrations, are strictly prohibited,’ commander Park An-su said in a statement, adding: ‘All media and publications shall be subject to the control of the Martial Law Command.’ 

Thousands of doctors who have been striking for months over government plans to expand the number of students at medical school have also been ordered to return to work within 48 hours.
