A Russian artist who regularly mocked Vladimir Putin and his cronies has been shot dead in Poland in what is believed to have been an execution.
Exiled Semyon Skrepetsky, 44, real name Robert Kuzovkov, was known for portraying the Kremlin leader as an absurd, bloodthirsty dictator.
The anti-Putin activist was gunned down in the eastern Polish city of Biała Podlaska, near the border with Belarus, soon after receiving a warning from ‘Russian patriots’.
Local media reported that the alleged gunman approached Kuzovkov and shot him at close range.
Medics were unable to save his life despite ‘immediate resuscitation efforts’.
Polish police have since launched a manhunt for the killer amid suspicions he was killed for daring to lampoon Putin and his supporters.
…’You don’t have to knock down an apartment house every time you’re looking for somebody. There are a lot of people in those apartment houses and they’re not all Hezbollah.’
Israel has killed at least 3,783 people and wounded 11,699 others in Lebanon between March 2 and June 14, according to Lebanon’s health ministry. The agency does not distinguish between civilians and military combatants.
Trump also aired his anger with Bibi over the Israeli PM’s decision to bomb Beirut just two hours before the memorandum of understanding was to be signed by the US and Iran on Sunday.
‘Bibi has to be more responsible with respect to Lebanon,’ Trump said. ‘I’m not happy with the way Israel has handled themselves with Lebanon, and with Hezbollah.’
Trump also noted that he has told Israeli officials that Syria should ‘take care’ of the Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah.
The President also doubled down on his recent claim that Israel would have been destroyed by Iran.
‘Without the US, there would be no Israel. Without me, there would be no Israel because no other President was willing to do what I did.’
More data for the extremely importantquestion — Who rules whom? Israel or USA, in what order and to what degree? Israel and Jewish Supremacists inside USA appear to have strong control of our Deep State. Trump appears to have meaningful control of much of our foreign policy and appears to be wrestling with the Deep State, sometimes successfully, sometimes not. It looks like he is building a peaceful Middle East economic confederacy which includes Israel as an equal partner to the other states in the region. This may result in ending the Israeli fantasy of becoming the region’s hegemon. The ongoing battle for Greater Israel is a supremacy battle which unquestionably is being waged inside USA as well as in the ME. Right now, our totally cucked Congress is actually trying being bribed & blackmailed to to marry USA’s military to Israel’s military, while also repeatedly deliberately failing to pass basic voter ID laws, which are overwhelmingly supported by the public. How will this all shake out? Your guess is as good as mine. ABN
Donald Trump has ordered his incoming director of national intelligence (DNI) to start purging officials from the Obama and Biden administrations.
The President told Tulsi Gabbard’s replacement, Bill Pulte, that the 18 agencies, including the CIA and FBI, that he now oversees are ‘unnecessary and/or too big.’
Trump told the Wall Street Journal: ‘I’d like to see it smaller. I think there are a lot of people in there that shouldn’t be there.’
The President told reporters he wants Pulte, a former Florida real estate executive, to ‘start the process’ of firing people, even though he is only serving on an acting basis.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivers testimony to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The U.S. Senate as a whole and members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee specifically, have lost millions of dollars wealth for themselves and their families as a result of Rubio eliminating USAID. As a consequence, while they cannot publicly showcase that specific motive for opposition, the committee as a whole is not happy about losing a substantial portion of their stakeholder interests.
The families of all the senate committee members exist inside the think tanks, NGOs, political orgs, PACs and lobbyist companies for various foreign governments. Just like Q-Anon advocate ¹Mike Flynn recently taking a job that pays him $100,000/month to lobby for the Republic of Srpska (aka ‘Serb Republic’, for advice, counsel and introductions), so too all the family members of the senate leverage their DC connections to foreign governments for personal gain.
Thus, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is now being questioned by the very Senators he has defunded. WATCH (prompted):
¹Yes, Michael Flynn signed an agreement within the Trump administration not to lobby for foreign governments; but that was only a paper promise. That’s one of the reasons why it is more than a little silly for people to mention Flynn’s name as a potential DNI nomination.
It’s two minutes to midnight. The time for talking is over; the time for action is now. That’s why we are presenting the first-ever patriotic European Citizens’ Initiative: the @SaveEuropeAct.
Acknowledging the ethnocultural continuity of Europe’s peoples as crucial for the preservation of Europe, we demand an immediate and total halt to immigration and the creation of a comprehensive European Remigration system.
To achieve that, we need your help. With a million signatures, the European Commission must meet with us face-to-face and take a stance on remigration and the future of Europe as a whole.
This is a superb modern version of traditional political art cartoons that date back centuries. If you are on X, please give this genius a follow. I have zero relationship with the artist, but love her work. ABN
…The authors of this study argue that physical sensations form the core of any emotional experience. When people feel an emotion, they experience interoceptive states, which are the brain’s internal perceptions of signals from inside the body, like a racing heart or a tense stomach. The researchers wanted to map these self-aware, physical feelings, known as somatosensory experiences, to see what a state of political anger or political hope actually feels like in the human body.
Understanding these bodily sensations can shed light on how political contexts alter basic psychological responses. To explore these physical patterns, the researchers conducted a study with 992 adult participants from the United States. The sample was designed to be nationally representative in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, and political party affiliation. The median age of the participants was 46 years, and the group included exactly 50 percent women.
The scientists used a validated digital mapping technique called the emBODY tool to measure physical reactions. During the experiment, participants viewed digital silhouettes of the human body and used a coloring tool to indicate exactly where they felt physical sensations. They painted regions red to show increased activation, such as warmth or tension, and they used blue to show decreased activation, such as numbness or physical heaviness.
Political disgust produced an entirely different physical map compared to everyday disgust. Everyday disgust, such as the natural physical reaction to spoiled food, tends to be felt heavily in the stomach and throat. When participants mapped political disgust, the physical sensation looked remarkably similar to anger, with high activation concentrated in the head and upper body.
Democrat-leaning participants reported stronger bodily sensations for negative political emotions compared to Republican-leaning participants. For political anger, anxiety, depression, and disgust, Democrat-leaning individuals showed much higher physical activation, primarily concentrated in the head and upper torso.
