The Pentagon Testified Assessing Ukraine and No One Noticed
As we contemplate the massive $40 billion transfer of U.S. taxpayer funds to Ukraine, a few things need to be emphasized.
First, congress has decided to pay the salaries, benefits and pensions of Ukraine political officials and citizens. As U.S. citizens try and figure out how to afford housing, gasoline, food and basic goods, congress has decided to subsidize another country. That’s the first point.
Second, as to the pragmatic question of “to what end?” There was a critical point made last week by Defense Intel Agency (DIA) Director Lt. Gen. Scott Berrier, that not a single media outlet or politician discussed. During his briefing to the Senate Armed Services Committee, Berrier was asked “can Ukraine win” the conflict against Russia?

“Can Ukraine win the conflict against Russia?” The answer is no, stalemate at best. But even that is doubtful though it is assuredly deadly for Ukrainians and of no value to USA (unless you are a corrupt politician or a demented globopinko strategist). ABN
MALONE, COLE, URSO: A DOCTORS ROUNDTABLE
Ukraine, Russia and Poland w/Gonzalo Lira
I am a fan of The Duran and their guests, Lira, Barnes, Luongo, and more. But, hate to say it, they are a limited hangout. Maybe it’s YT, but even on Odysee they ply the same explanation for almost everything of serious consequence—incompetence. There’s more to the story than that. Have we all gotten so used to the softcore censorship of FB and Twatter that we actually believe these are no puppet masters behind their deliberately incompetent puppets? Biden being senile, crooked, and stupid all at the same time makes for the perfect fall guy. If he is removed, voila, Harris has the same skill set. There is a much bigger story than incompetence. It is infiltration and asymmetric warfare that began in earnest in the West after WW2, with deep roots going back much further. ABN
Gonzalo Lira: Kolomoisky is in trouble
Megalopolis x Russia: Total War
Operation Z is the first salvo of a titanic struggle: three decades after the fall of the USSR, and 77 years after the end of WWII, after careful evaluation, the Kremlin is rearranging the geopolitical chessboard to end the unipolar hegemony of the “indispensable nation”. No wonder the Empire of Lies has gone completely berserk, obsessed in completely expelling Russia from the West-centric system.
The U.S. and its NATO puppies cannot possibly come to grips with their perplexity when faced with a staggering loss: no more entitlement allowing exclusive geopolitical use of force to perpetuate “our values”. No more Full Spectrum Dominance.
The micro-picture is also clear. The U.S. Deep State is milking to Kingdom Come its planned Ukraine gambit to cloak a strategic attack on Russia. The “secret” was to force Moscow into an intra-Slav war in Ukraine to break Nord Stream 2 – and thus German reliance on Russian natural resources.

“There’s a very important psychological element involved in the narrative war over western weapons supplies to Ukraine. If it wasn’t clear already, the collective western policy is to deliberately deny all reports of their aid being struck in Ukraine. There’s a number of reasons”
There's a very important psychological element involved in the narrative war over western weapons supplies to Ukraine. If it wasn't clear already, the collective western policy is to deliberately deny all reports of their aid being struck in Ukraine. There's a number of reasons
1. By denying any reports of them being struck, despite Russia destroying multiple targets, there is a psychological element involved in deliberately playing down Russia's capabilities in order to create doubt in their own war effort, making them appear hopeless.
2. Secondly, western governments do not want to create the impression they are pouring billions upon billions of taxpayer money into weaponry that is simply being destroyed in transit. This will create domestic opposition to the war.
3. Thirdly, this feeds into the broader policy of upholding a complete media blackout on all of Ukraine's losses in terms of both manpower and equipment, again geared at giving the false impression Ukraine is winning and keeping morale high.
4. Finally, to admit that this scenario actually happens is an effective admission of defeat which will create doubt and opposition to the policy. As a result, there is a coordinated effort to simply lie to the western public and pretend it's all Russian propaganda.

Xi Jinping sends warning to anyone who questions China’s zero-Covid policy
Hong Kong (CNN)China’s top leader Xi Jinping has issued the strongest warning yet against anyone who questions the country’s zero-Covid policy, as stringent, frequent lockdowns fuel public discontent and deal a devastating blow to the Chinese economy.
At a meeting chaired by Xi on Thursday, the ruling Communist Party’s supreme Politburo Standing Committee vowed to “unswervingly adhere to the general policy of ‘dynamic zero-Covid,’ and resolutely fight against any words and acts that distort, doubt or deny our country’s epidemic prevention policies.”
…Xi has put his personal stamp on China’s zero-Covid strategy, with state media often reporting that he has “personally commanded and made arrangements” for the country’s fight against the pandemic.
“In that sense, zero-Covid has become an unquestionable, unchallengeable policy that is closely tied to his political authority — and therefore there will be no flexibility when it comes to its implementation,” Wu said.

This is not about covid. It is about domestic discipline, battle against Shanghai Faction/Gang, further disrupt US/world economy, help Russia, prepare for 2022 Party Congress this fall. ABN
UPDATE: A view from someone who lives in Shanghai and either does not understand the deep game or is afraid to say:
Day 47 of our Shanghai Covid lockdown and we woke up, like we often do, to a man in a hazmat suit downstairs yelling through a bull horn for us to come down for our tests

Who are the globalist members of the trade organization known as The World Economic Forum (WEF) and their servants, why should you care, and what can you do about it?
First, “who are they?” The current 100 WEF full members (“Strategic Partners”) are drawn from the largest corporations in the world, together with their owners and managers (referred to as “Davos Man”). The list of corporations, owners and managers who control the WEF is not disclosed and membership can only be inferred indirectly. However, the WEF members do not act alone, but have developed various groups of globally distributed trainees who generally act in accordance with the detailed policies and positions developed and distributed by WEF leadership. These training programs have been operating for over three decades, resulting in placement, distribution and rapid advancement of many thousands of WEF-trained operatives throughout the world. WEF chairman Klaus Schwab has famously claimed that these operatives have been strategically inserted into key positions in various governments, as well as influential spots in key industries such as media, finance, and technology.
…“Why should you care?” The WEF is the organization which has masterminded the globally harmonized planning, development and implementation of the lockdowns, mandates, authoritarian vaccine campaigns, suppression of early treatment options, global targeting of dissenting physicians, censorship, propaganda, information and thought control programs which we have all experienced since late 2019. This is the organizational structure used by the ones who have sought to control and manage the world to advance the economic and political interests of their members through the ongoing “Great Reset” (as named and described by their chairman Klaus Schwab) by exploiting and exacerbating the social and economic disruption which they have artificially and intentionally crafted since SARS-CoV-19 began spreading across the world.

This is one helluva fact-filled essay by Robert Malone. He provides detailed information—people’s names, participating corporations and organizations—that are vying to take over the world and are close to succeeding. “Young Global Leaders” and “Global Leaders of Tomorrow” have been stealthily placed in leadership positions across the world, but especially in Western countries. None of this reflects the will of the people or respects national ethnic histories and traditions. All of it is rule from the top through partnerships between corporations and political operatives directed by globalists. We saw what they did with the pandemic. This is a very important read and marks a profound and well-documented change in how to understand our predicament. ABN

How and why China is doing much better than USA
[Important to read the following. It is a comment on an article in the Unz Review. It provides a brief overview of something deeply lacking in our society and in most in the world—a way to place the brightest, most talented and capable people at or near the top of society where, in the main, they will make better decisions than less talented and less intelligent people. Everything below this is a quote. ABN]
People go where they can exercise their talents to the fullest.
I emigrated to the US because grad schools here offered me opportunities that did not exist in my native Australia.
Now China’s crushing immature technologies like quantum communications, AI, supercomputing and utterly dominates every aspect of clean energy.
And they outspend us on R&D, big time. Biden’s promising $1.5 billion for quantum computing. Xi committed $10 billion.
We’ll never keep their best and brightest, the IQ 140+ crowd. China offers them unique opportunities.
Officials in China are held in much higher regard than dukes in the UK, and similarly descendents’ marriage prospects for generations.
These days, the smart kids choose administration or research, but the smartest choose both, because the selection committee (the opaquely named Organization Department) is looking for leaders who are empathic and intellectual geniuses.
Xi, for example grew up in a desperately poor village whose people cast their eyes down in his presence because he could read, and ate bark most winters. He visited and fretted about them until they started giving guided tours of where he lived with them, telling tales of his youth, and showing cracked, faded photos of him as a teenager.
Self-educated, he eventually got a (grudging) BSc in chemical engineering, from Peking University, and later, a PhD in rural marketization.
The #1 priority of the current 5 Year Plan is raising rural incomes through rural marketization.
In 2021, 28% of farmers’ profits came from direct sales to consumers. Billions of smartphones, millions of drones and thousands of miles of high speed rail let Beijingers choose oranges from the bough and receive them next morning.
China’s next president could be one of two current provincial governors. Both have physics PhDs. They previously ran the rocket and space programs, and now they’re ‘father and mother officials,’ to a hundred million people, and responsible for doubling everyone’s real wages of by 2031.
Where else can you exercise such talents?
