Lithuania Bans Transit Of Sanctioned Russian Goods To Kaliningrad

Lithuania has begun a ban on the rail transit of goods subject to European Union sanctions to the Russian far-western exclave of Kaliningrad, transport authorities in the Baltic nation said on June 18.

The EU sanctions list includes coal, metals, construction materials, and advanced technology.

Anton Alikhanov, the governor of the Russian oblast, said the ban would cover around 50 percent of the items that Kaliningrad imports.

Doubling-down on failed sanctions that are harming Europe, a tiny country pokes the Russian bear in the nose. I do not think this is a good idea. Who is behind this, I do not know. But this risks triggering a larger war, even WW3. If NATO/USA are not behind this dangerous provocation, they should step in and stop it. No good will come of this. US/EU sanctions have helped Russia and only harmed Europe. The NATO/US proxy war in Ukraine has been an abject failure and should have been avoided long before it began. I understand Lithuanian fear and dislike of Russia, but it is much smarter to accept the realities of today and put the past behind you. Europe and the Baltics should be striving for good relations with Russia not bad ones. ABN

Experts question CDC’s approval of COVID vaccines for under-5s because Pfizer study used just THREE children to prove it works and Moderna admits it is only 37% effective: ‘We should just assume we don’t have efficacy data’

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Friday authorized Moderna Inc’s and Pfizer’s shot for children aged six months to five years old

On Saturday, a CDC panel voted unanimously to recommend vaccines for children as young as six months

That vote was later signed off by CDC Director Rochelle Walensky meaning a national rollout could begin next week 

An infectious diseases expert, Dr. Sarah Long, said: ‘We should just assume that we don’t have efficacy data’ regarding vaccine success in under fives

A Pfizer study used just three children while Moderna’s study showed efficacy of just 37 percent in kids aged two through five 

Pfizer-BioNTech’s vaccine is approved for children aged six months to 4 years 

President Joe Biden’s administration plans to roll out the vaccines to the under-5 age groups after the Juneteenth holiday weekend

The real data is even worse than this. Approval is either corruption, incompetence, criminal infiltration, or a combination of all three. What we are seeing in our “health” agencies is the result of many decades of gradual and steady infiltration of all of our major institutions, including schools, media, virtually all government agencies, DC, most states, and more. This is the result of asymmetric warfare by enemies who live both inside and outside our nation. At the granular level this warfare can be extremely violent, including murder, poison, physical maiming, reputation destruction, blackmail, show trials, and more. ABN

It’s what they did in Ukraine to provoke Russia. They did steal the election. They did either release covid, the bioweapon, or use covid, the bioweapon, to facilitate election fraud through anti-scientific fear-mongering, mandates, and bans. It looks like someone is hyping a laboratory version of monkeypox. China is definitely preparing for war. Many signs indicate deliberate US provocation of China. Thing is Xi Jinping may be behind some of this. Covid arrived just as he lost the trade war with Trump. A milder variant of covid infected many Chinese in 2018-19 and this may have been deliberately released to inoculate them in preparation for full-on biowarfare in 2019-20. One thing is certain, there is a very dangerous hair-trigger KOBK rivalry among the world’s top three military powers—USA, China, and Russia. See the KOBK (Kill-or-be-Killed) tag for more on this topic. ABN

Austin shared his concerns about China’s recent behavior and military activity around the self-governing island

Austin noted a ‘steady increase in provocative and destabilizing military activity near Taiwan,’ including almost daily military flights near the island by the PRC’

US/NATO provoked Russia through aggressive actions in Ukraine. Is there a similar plan toward China via Taiwan? ABN

CHINA: Shanghai lockdown starts again; real reason unclear

Shanghai, China: Shanghai will lock down a district of 2.7 million people on Saturday to conduct mass coronavirus testing, city authorities said, as the Chinese metropolis struggles to fully emerge from punishing curbs.

The city eased many restrictions last week, after confining most of its 25 million residents to their homes since March as China battled its worst Covid outbreak in two years.

We can only guess at the real reason for the many lockdowns in China. A major guess is they are serving as domestic discipline in preparation for war, either aggressive or defensive. Or preparation for a major economic crash due to war or not. Since zero-covid is not possible, there must be some other reason than the ones given by Chinese authorities. Is Xi Jinping an obsessed germophobe and that’s the reason?

One thing is certain: there is great tension among and between the world’s top three military powers—USA, Russia, China. In KOBK game theory, if two of those players team up and attack the third, they probably will win the first round. But even if two of them are teamed up, as many believe China and Russia are, how can they be sure their partner is not double-crossing them? However you look at it, all three of these top players must be tempted to do a first strike with overwhelming nukes on the other two. China probably does not have the weaponry to do that. Russia and USA do. China has manpower, so if teamed with Russia a first strike on USA would be followed up with an invasion of Chinese troops into North America. ABN

RUSSIA invited to send military forces to NICARAGUA: Ortega calls on Putin “to roll out something powerful”
