Zelensky Rejects Territorial Concessions Again And Destroys Peace Hopes As Usual

 While we have been focused on developments in the backlash against mass imigration that seems to be happening everywhere from Cyprus to California, things are still happening in Ukraine. As for hopes of a negotiated peace emerging from President Trump's latest initiative, as is now the established pattern with peace initiatives in Ukraine, this one seems to have again been wrecked by the Ukies making ridiculous demands which they insist Russia must agrre to, before they will even join the talks.

As details of Trump's recent meetings with Putin and Zelensky have emerged it appears that while Putin was  prepared to offer some concessions, Dictator Zelenski of Ukraine (he ceased to be president in 2024 when his term under the Ukrainian constitution expired and he cancelled elections,) predictably refused any compromise on Ukraine's demands (which include $1trillion in reparations, Russia's withdrawal from occupied teritories inclucing Crimea, immediate NATO membership and a few other 'red line' items Russa will never allow,) in negotiations with Russia.

 Among European leaders even Ukraine's most staunch supporters are now urging Kiev to cede territory and agree to other Russian terms in order to stop the slaughter, but it is being suggested  Zelensky dare not budge because he would be killed by the neo Nazi military leaders in Kiev and replaced by a more right wing figure if he would consider otherwise.

In a speech last Sunday (24 August) marking Ukraine's independence Zelenski insisted of recapturing all of Ukraine including Crimea.

As the Washington Post summarizes (archived):

In Kyiv on Sunday, Ukraine’s Independence Day, Zelensky addressed the nation and vowed to restore its territorial integrity.

“Ukraine will never again be forced in history to endure the shame that the Russians call a ‘compromise,’” he said. “We need a just peace.”

He listed some of the regions occupied by Russia — including Donetsk, Luhansk and Crimea — and said “no temporary occupation” could change the fact that the land belongs to Ukraine.

Zelenski thus rejects calls by U.S. President Trump to give up Ukrainian territory in exchange for peace.

Apart from the personal danger to Zelensky should he even start to negotiate on terms that could lead to peace, because any compromise about territory would certainly cost him his life, surrender on any terms would only lead to the neo - Nazis going underground and launching a guerilla campaign against Russian speakers in Ukraine.

In UK media The Times continues to be a propaganda mouthpiece for Ukraine's Nazis. On the back of a whitewashing interview with Azov Nazi leader Biletsky (archived) last week it published an interview with the former leader of the fascist Right Sector in Odessa Serhii Sterneneko.

‘Russia has repeatedly tried to kill me — I must be doing something right’ (archived)

Sterneneko had a leading role in the 2014 massacres in Maidan Square and at the Trade Union's House in Odessa. The Times is whitewashing his participation in those events. It does not mind to publish his threats against Zelenski:

[A]mong Ukraine’s younger generation of soldiers and civilians, Sternenko’s brand of truth to power has wide popularity. “I say what I think, and people like what I say.”

His views on President Putin’s demand for Ukraine to cede the territory it defends in the eastern Donbas region as a precondition for possible peace are typically direct. “If [President] Zelensky were to give any unconquered land away, he would be a corpse — politically, and then for real,” Sternenko said. “It would be a bomb under our sovereignty. People would never accept it.”

Sternenko, who himself has avoided the draft, wants the war to go on forever.

By ousting a corrupt but popular, democratically elected government in Kiev and replacing it with an equally corrupt, pro western Neo Nazi regine, America and NATO effectively set fire to Ukraine in 2014 while the European Union made encouraging noises, hoping to get some tasty crumbs from the wreckage after Ukraine fought a proxy war which they planned would lead to the break up of the Russian Federation. Zelensky, a comedian and soap opera actor emerged from the chaos and figured that if he can play the piano with his penis, he "can be anything he wants to be when he grows up", including president. (I guess at least his dream came true). It was a beautiful tune, but now that the tune has changed,  the propaganda lies have been exposed, Russia has crushed Ukraine as was always inevitable, and the main players are all "re-inventing" themselves; USA wants to be the peace-loving, friendly, "I'm your buddy, or else" superpower; Europe can't believe it got nothing out of the whole circus, and Z... well he wanted to be predient and now he is stuck with the poisoned chalice.
Over ten years and an estimated $$$300 billon  later, millions of people killed/maimed/displaced/orphaned, fortunes made (by the US / European elite and Ukie oligarchs) and lost (by the taxpayers), USA and NATO  don't know how to get out of the disaster while still claiming "victory", Europe is having aristocratic palpitations, pearl clutching, and is ready to collapse any moment, and Z's solution is to keep throwing more bodies into the grinder because that always worked so well before  (well, for his personal wealth acquisition it did). He'll even force Ukrainians who were lucky enough to escape his loony bin asylum, to be returned to Ukraine, in the name of democracy and justice, so he can toss them into the meat grinder. And so it goes on.

‘We’re Not At War With Russia,’ Germany's Chancellor Scholz tells Warmongering French Ouanqeur Macron
Though Macron's recent posturing as a reincarnated Napoleon by calling on his fellow European leaders to send troops to fight alongside the Ukrainian military may have been nothing more than an ill - advised attempt to deflect attention from online conspiracy theories that his wife Brigitte is, or was at some time in the past, a man, the ploy, if that is what it was, has backfired.

Big Serge has a rather long situation report on Substack and it will not make happy reading for the Zelensky fan club in the west:

Game Over For Zelensky - NATO andEU Officials Urge Ukraine To Seek Peace
As this blog predicted early last month, following the catastrophic failure of Ukraine's 'counter offensive' to push Russian troops out of their country, American and European leaders who have previously been solidly behind the doomed Ukrainian war with its powerful neighbour, are rapidly going cool on their pledges of unlimited support for puppet - president Zelensky and his far - right masters.

Ukraine's Military Commander Admits Counter - offensive Has Failed And The Battlefield Position Is Stalemate
Since Russian troops crossed the border into Ukraine, back in February 2022, those of us who questioed the Russia bad, Ukraine goood narrative have been targeted by torrents of abuse hurled by pseudo - patriots and armchair soldiers, and called a 'Kremlin stooges', Russian agents', 'Putin supporters', and enemies of freedom.

Ukraine Too Corrupt To Join The EU Says Former EU Leader Juncker
Former EU Commission President and world class oenophile Jean-Claude Juncker, stated this week in unusually blunt terms that are perhaps a sign of the times, that Ukraine is not ready to join the EU due to its being "corrupt at all levels of society," the former European Commission president, said in unusually blunt language during an interview with Germany’s Augsburger Allgemeine newspaper this week.

There Is Only One Way Ukraine Can End The War
As Ukraine's much hyped counterattack has failed to achieved the and momentum that hoped for by American and NATO leaders including President Volodymyr Zelensky who admitted it was "slower than desired", and a range of soldiers interviewed by BBC and Sky News television reporters t on different parts of the long (probably too long given the depletion of Ukrainian military manpower,) frontline have blamed minefields laid by Russian troops for that delay. Well as is often said, in any wartruth is the first casualty.

Who Blew Up The Nordstream Pipeline
So whodunnit? Sabotage of undersea gas pipe will escalate tension and move the world closer to nuclear war, but who is behind it, Russia in a bid to put more presure on Europe, Ukraine in an attempt to drag NATO into direct action, or the USA using a CIA false flag event to advance its own agenda.

Is Russia Selling Its Oil To The World Through An Obscure Egyptian Port?
As this blog predicted when NATO and EU member states shot themselves in the foot by reacting to Russia's invasion of Ukraine with sanctions that prevented Russia from selling oil, gas and vital raw materials to the countries that needed them most, the NATO and EU member states, the Russians have had no problems finding alternative customers for their gas and oil and no problem getting oil into the world's commodity markets through the back door.

Jingoistic Western Triumphalism Will Not End The War In Ukraine Or Cripple Putin, But It Is Crippling Western Nations

As the war in Ukraine grinds on and Russia steps up its economic war against the west and in particular The European Union, claims made recently by the idiotically 'woke' leaders of Europe's main economic and military powers that the West has a once-in-a–generation chance to severely weaken Russia’s capabilities, both militarily and geopolitically, look increasingly hollow. Putin's critics have cited 'Western unity' as one of the main reasons why Russia will be economically destroyed and politically humiliated when the Ukraine's military finally claim victory.

Boris and Biden Can't Blame Ukraine War For Energy Crisis
With typical arrogance and condescension towards the people who elected them Boris Johnson, Joe Biden and their respectiive presstitutes are trying to spin the energy crisis Europe and North America are currently facing as somehow being linked to the conflict in Ukraine and therfore blame is being attactched to Russia and Vladimir Putin.

Last Week We Reported Ukrainian Leader Zelensky Would Be Ousted Soon, Now We're Hearing His Fall Could Be Imminent

 

In spite of US President's U - turn on sending arms to Ukraine after halting deliveries only a few weeks ago, it appears that the Zelensky regime is facing collapse, as boh the Ukrainian people are sick of war and death and his European allies are turning against him due to the way he has sabotages peace moves instigated by the USA and Turkey. 

The idea that Zelensky united Ukraine is laughable. His government is generally hated, as they have thrown hundreds of thousands of young (and latterly not so young) Ukrainians to their deaths, while his neo - Nazi backers  have got fat by siphoning off money from the billions of dollars sent there from the USA and Europe. Possibly Zelensky is the only world leader more despised by his own people than Keir Starmer. But if he makes a move towards peace to end the suffering of the people, he would surely be killed by his neo Nazi bosses in Kiev who want the war to go on forever.

The coup de grace that finally shattered the west's glossy image of the Ukrainian president comes in the wake of a controversial law that has allowed him to seize power over independent anti-corruption agencies.  

Politico (Europe) just ran an article entitled: “Ukraine’s insidious enemy: Its own leadership.”

The website writes: “After gutting two key anti-corruption agencies (NABU and SAPO), Kyiv’s democratic backsliding has finally caught the world’s attention.”

It then goes on to refer to “the country’s own semi-autocratic leadership.”

According to Politico, opposition members and NGOs have been “long warning about this” as Zelensky and his neo - Nazi backer seizes more and more power while intimidating critics, suppressing free speech, and branding his critics as Russian agents.

Pressure is also coming from the mass media, including the extremely influential Kyiv Independent, which just ran an editorial entitled: “Zelensky just betrayed Ukraine’s democracy — and everyone fighting for it.”

The Kyiv Independent has been a strong suporter of Zelensky throughout the war. The paper wrote that they warned about anti-democratic backsliding, and that it was now happening:

A parliamentary vote, led by President Volodymyr Zelensky’s lawmakers, today took away the independence of Ukraine’s key anti-corruption bodies — the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO). Zelensky signed it into law the same day.

Under the new law, the prosecutor general, a notoriously non-independent figure, will now oversee anti-corruption investigations — in a complete overturn of the system that was set up to be independent from other law enforcement bodies.

In reality, it means that Zelensky’s office will be able to stop anyboy investigating his various dealings with foreign billionaires.

While Western corporate media have been shameless cheerleadersfor Zelensky's efforts to prolong the war to the financial benefit of his corrupt regime and its supporters, independent journalists on the ground have reported for years now concerning the unrest and disdain within large segments of the population due to his forced closure of churches and persecution of clergy, cancelling elections, kidnapping young men off the streets for military service and the arrest or disappearance of critical journalists (such as Gonzalo Lira, arrested and "died" in prison).

Even the US and NATO leaders have admitted that much of the aid provided has been lost to the massive corruption among Zelensky and his cronies.

The people of Ukraine know what's going on and, had elections been held, would have replaced this incompetent fascist long ago.

Former German finance minister says corruption in Ukraine is ‘rampant,’ majority of Ukrainians agree. What have we been giving money to.

 

Since Zelensky cancelled elections early in 2024 Ukraine has been ruled by an oligarch (i.e. Zelensky because his term of office expired on the day elections were due,) who increasingly relies on foreign aid to keep his regime afloat. Ukraine is a state where corruption is rampant and there are no real democratic structures,” former German Finance Minister Oskar Lafontaine told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, cited by news agency V4NA.

Lafontaine emphasized that independent parties and mass media are banned in Ukraine and re-establishing democracy and independence would take a long time.

Reports of corruption are rife in Ukraine, especially in the military, according to Magyar Nemzet. A recent anti-corruption investigation identified 30 Ukrainian officials suspected of embezzling funds, including employees of housing and maintenance departments, as well as representatives of commercial structures across Ukraine. Prosecutors say 15 of them were members of organized crime groups.

There has also been a lucrative trade in selling on arms and military technology donated by NATO allies to various terrorist goups and dodgy regimes in third world nations.

And even as Zelensky heads for Washington DC to beg the outgoing Biden administration for more money from President Joe Biden for the war, Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office announced last week that it has uncovered a large-scale scheme to embezzle more than $3.7 million from the state budget, mnet that had been donated to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces and finance everything from heating and electricity to military infrastructure construction work. 

Prosecutors say some of these goods were purchased at significantly higher prices than market prices. Some of the suspects are also accused of abuse of power and negligence in military service. One of the defendants, the head of a regional housing and maintenance department, is suspected of illegally purchasing $285,000 worth of commercial equipment, land and other valuables that were registered in the name of an intermediary.

Magyar Nemzet lists several scandals, including in January 2023 when Deputy Defense Minister Vitaly Polovenko announced that the Ukrainian Defense Ministry had terminated contracts with companies owned by Lviv businessman Ihor Hrynkevich, who was involved in the scandalous procurement of clothing for the armed forces. That same month, the Security Service of Ukraine announced that it had detained a colonel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the CEO of a defense supply company on suspicion of corruption.

The Destruction Of Trust Is Diminishing Civilised Society

posted by Helena Hankart

 

There are many wholesome images we associate with the season of goodwill: trees bedecked with tinsel and baubles, elves distributing candy canes and enticingly-wrapped gifts, Mariah Carey frolicking in the snow with that corpulent fellow in a fake beard. And now we might also add to that list anti-terror crash-barriers and armed police at festive markets. God bless us every one.

Frustrations are running especially high due to the reluctance of our law enforcement agencies to be honest about the issue. On Tuesday, a British police force posted the following on X:

“Whilst you are out and about at events in the festive period, you may see some armed police presence. We appreciate that this can be an alarming sight, which is why we wanted to take the time to reassure you that these are part of routine foot patrols to deter serious criminality and not in response to any particular threat.”

It’s not difficult to detect the unsaid words screaming through this mealy-mouthed statement. There has been a radical shift in recent years which has meant that public events now require a perimeter of what some are sarcastically calling “diversity barriers”. These huge steel bollards and barriers are designed to prevent a repeat of the appalling atrocity in Nice in July 2016, when a Tunisian jihadist ploughed through crowds of families on Bastille Day in a truck, killing 86 and injuring a further 434. For the police to claim that there is no “particular terror threat” is unlikely to be believed by anyone with a memory more far-reaching than your average goldfish.

So much trust has been lost through underhanded deception, mostly for purely selfish financial motives. A highly moralistic generation that uses new modes of communication to seize control of the national conversation and impose its moral absolutes and which includes groups formerly outside of power have risen up tp take over the system.

There is something undeniably incongruous about the sight of happy-go-lucky police officers patrolling with lethal weapons at Christmas as though it were the most unremarkable thing in the world.

Is this the “new normal”? Has the very concept of the high-trust society depleted to such an extent that a visit to Santa’s grotto must now be supervised by uniformed men with machine guns? London mayor Sadiq Khan famously claimed that terrorist attacks are simply “part and parcel of living in a big city”.

The events of 2020—the coronavirus pandemic; the killing of George Floyd; militias, social-media mobs, and urban unrest—were like hurricanes that hit in the middle of that earthquake. They did not cause the moral convulsion, but they accelerated every trend. They flooded the ravines that had opened up in society and exposed every flaw.

Now, as we enter the final month of 2025, this period of convulsion hurtles towards its climax. Donald Trump is in the process of shredding the old order that hid its corruption and self interest undeer a veneer of politically correct thinking, latrerly known as being 'woke.' 

The outgoing president, unable to behave responsibly, unable to deliver even a short speech coherently, unable to even tell the country the truth about his own medical condition, has undermined the basic credibility of the government and arouses the suspicion that every word and act that surrounds him is a lie and a fraud. 

Finally, he threatens to undermine the legitimacy of our democracy and incite a vicious global conflagration that no sane person wants and that woulf would leave survivors trying to rebuild a charred and shattered civilisation. Trump may turn things around, but the conditions that brought him to power  were decades in the making, and those conditions will not disappear once he is sworn in.

 Social trust is a measure of the moral quality of a society—of whether the people and institutions in it are trustworthy, whether they keep their promises and work for the common good. When people in a church lose faith or trust in God, the church collapses. When people in a society lose faith or trust in their institutions and in each other, the nation collapses.

This is an account of how, over the past few decades, the liberal democracies became a more untrustworthy society. It is an account of how, under the stresses of 2020, institutions and the common social order of the free world crumbled and were revealed as more untrustworthy still. We had a chance, by resisting the pandemic hoax,  by rejecting BLM, by refusing to suport the proxy wars in eastern Europe and the middle east to pull together as a nation and build trust. We did not. That has left us a broken, alienated society caught in a distrust doom loop.

This weeks main story, pushing Coronavirus aside at last, has been the attempt by Twitter to censor U.S. President, classifying his somewhat rabid tweets as misinformation.

Proof That The Alarmist Claptrap You Are Hearing And Seeing At COP26 Climate Conference Is A Load Of Bollocks
The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places, the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consul Ifft, at Bergen, Norway.

Biden Considering ‘Preemptive Pardons’ For Fauci, Liz Cheney: Report

Modernity News

The Biden Administration is considering issuing ‘preemptive pardons’ to the likes of Liz Cheney and Anthony Fauci in order to stop president Trump brining indictments against them, according to a POLITICO report.

The report states that Biden’s handlers are “deeply concerned about a range of current and former officials who could find themselves facing inquiries and even indictments” under a Trump presidency.
Though the malfeasance and corruption in the Biden Administration was obvious to all, and these four characters were all deeply involved, the propaganda narratives always insisted they had only ever acted legally. If that is true why are the people who make Dementia Joe's decisions for him considering ofering them the kind of blanket pardons the outgoing crook-in-chief bestowed on his son?

The report further notes that the concerns have also been heightened by Trump’s announcement that Kash Patel will head up the FBI during his administration.

 GB News:

 

In a stark warning ahead of today's Commons showdown, the National Farmers' Union president declared that farmers will not back down from opposing the controversial policy.

"In my lifetime I have never seen such widespread anger, betrayal and despair in the farming community," Bradshaw said.

 Ketones vs. Neurodegeneration: Bombshell New Study

 by Ben Bartee, Armageddon Prose

You may have seen reference in an Armageddon Prose article or elsewhere to “ketosis,” “ketones” and/or a “ketogenic diet” — and for good reason.

Over the last several years, the various health benefits of periodically inducing prolonged bouts of ketosis — the state of the body consuming stored fat for energy which results in a breakdown product called ketones — have been well-documented.

Previously, the consensus among people who study this stuff for a living was that the brain health benefits of ketosis resulted from a limiting of brain inflammation as well as a supply of “cleaner,” more consistent energy from burned fat.

While reduced inflammation and healthier energy supply are both true downstream effects of ketosis, it’s also true, we know now thanks to new research, that ketone bodies, or ketones for short — the acidic breakdown products of ketosis — actually directly act on the kinds of misfolded proteins implicated in various neurodegenerative brain conditions, including, most notably, Alzheimer’s disease.

Netherlands plans to cap its population: Centre-right government backs 'toughest ever measures' on immigration to keep population under 20million

Daily Mail

The Dutch population will be kept to under 20million with limits put in place to 'get a grip on migration' under targets being considered by the country's hard-right government under its Prime Minister Dick Schoof. 

The government's demographic development commission recommended a population ceiling of 19 to 20million residents by 2050, Dutch News reports. 

The cabinet 'supports the need to work towards that scenario and to get a grip on migration,' immigration minister Marjolein Faber and social affairs minister Eddy van Hijum said in a briefing to MPs on Tuesday. 

This comes after the commission said earlier this year that a moderate growth would be the best option to ensure economic prosperity as its population of 18million ages, but Faber and van Hijum warned that this would still have negative consequences for public services.

Biden Shocks America Wth Unprecedentedly Far Reaching Pardon Of Son Hunter - We Reveal Why He Had To Do It

 

 

Despite repeated denials that he would ever do it — the most recent only last week — outgoing US President Joe Biden this week gave his career - scumbag son Hunter the mother of all pardons a get-out-of-jail-free card that  not only clears the younger Biden on three felony charges on which Hunter had been found guilty in June in a federal case surrounding his acquisition and possession of a firearm, and pleaded guilty (using an Alford plea) to federal tax evasion charges in September.

In his statement, Biden alleged that the charges against his son were politically motivated.

Far from bringing closure to a sordid affair, it is likely to be a prelude to Donald Trump going on a rampage of revenge against his enemies. After all it was the Biden adminstration and Democratic Party operations in various US states that spent the past four years weaponsining the justice system against the Republicans in a bid to prevent Trump running against Biden for the presidency again, having allegedly been denied a second term in 2020 due to massive voter fraud in swing states by The Democrats

Once inaugurated, Trump will now be able to use as justification the very same reason President Biden has given for his extraordinary grant of clemency to his son: that America's justice system is hopelessly politicized. This is something Trump has always claimed — and which Biden, for his own self-serving reasons, now confirms.

The Hunter Biden pardon not only wipes out the gun and tax crimes, for which Hunter was likely about to serve lengthy jail sentences and which only came to light due to two whistleblowers revealing a catalogue of Hunter Biden's crimes, it covers 'all offences against the United States which he [Hunter] has committed or may have committed or taken part in' from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024.

So whatever federal crimes Hunter, aided by his dodgy connections in Ukraine and China, may have committed in the last decade, including ones we as yet know nothing about, the president's son can never be held to account for them in a court of law.

Why the January 1, 2014 starting date? Simple. Hunter joined the board of Burisma, a dodgy Ukrainian energy company, in April 2014. He was paid millions for his role in the company, despite having no background or expertise in the oil or gas business.

But he traded off his father's name, referring to Dementia Joe as the 'Big Guy', who was then President Obama's vice president, in email and telephone communications during a notorious bout of influence-peddling. Hunter's shady Burisma years have spawned an avalanche of accusations, some false, more as yet unproven.

The pardon has been carefully concocted to protect him from any new evidence of criminal behavior that might emerge. In doing so it also protects his father from being swept up in any of Hunter's wrongdoing. I doubt there has ever been a greater misuse of the presidential pardon since it was devised by the Founding Fathers almost 250 years ago.

Issuing a preemptive pardon for crimes that haven’t been prosecuted, or even come to light, seems a little excessive in the spirit of the idea of presidential pardons. Most people living in the free world atr asolutely stunned to realize that a president can issue such a broad, sweeping edict as this.

This sordid episode certainly marks the end of Saint Joe, the wise elder statesman who stepped up to oppose wheeler - dealer Trump and the supposedly selfless leader who made way for Kamala Harris for the good of party and nation. Instead, he will see out his final days in the Oval Office as Sleazy Joe, prepared to pervert the pardon process to protect not just his son but himself. But who among us is so naive they did not already know that was the case.

Not quite the 'Biden Crime Family' of Republican mythology. But a step in that direction. It makes a mockery of all those Democratic cheerleaders who've tried to spin a narrative depicting Joe as a cross between George Washington and FDR.

 

CORRUPTED BY POLITICS:

Time To Rename Democrat Party The Hypocrite Party
As I read the news this morning I wanted to puke every time I encountered a (false) assertion that there is no substance to the claims of massive and organised fraud in the US presidential election made by Donald Trump and his supporters. As there is considerable substance to these claims, evidenced by the refusal of the General Services Administration, tasked with managing the transfer of power after election, to sanction funds for Joe Biden and the Democrats on the basis that several states are still counting votes,

Were US 2020 Elections Rigged By Dominion Voting Systems
A so-called computer “glitch” in the voting machines flipping votes during the 2020 US Elections has caused a major controversy. The source and ownership of the voting machines used in the elections has become an urgent issue because of real fears that hackers might tamper with the mechanics of the voting system. However, GreatGameIndia has found that the vendors and not hackers maybe behind the rigging.

US News Sites Claimed UK Nov 5th Fireworks Were To Celebrate Biden Presidency
Many of us in Britain and other developed nations spent most of last week looking on gobsmacked at the fiasco that was playing out across the pond as a nation whose inhabitants tell us if we are not doing things “The American Way” we are doing them wrongly, completely failed to back up their claims when they showed themselves to be completely incapable of running a fair and orderly democratic election.

As The World Hails President Not-Trump, News Media Forget He Hasn’t Won Yet
I read several times today that having been “officially” declared winner of the election and now US President elect, Joe Biden is being called on to heal the nation. It’s bollocks of course, while Joe Biden holds an apparently convincing lead in enough states to give him a majority in the electoral college, that body does not meet to formally elect the president until mid December.

Election Fun And Games In America
According to national sources such as The Epoch Times, Trump is currently at 214 electoral votes. If you add Georgia and North Carolina, both of which are obvious Trump wins, far beyond the margin of any Biden recovery, that puts Trump at 245 electoral votes. Trump is currently leading in Pennsylvania, and it looks like a victory that will be aggressively defended by the President and his team.

WISE ADVICE AS AMERICA VOTES
As America votes to choose its president for the next four years, the incumbent Donald ‘Pussy grabber’ Trump or challenger Joe ‘Sniffer’ Biden and chaos threatens to follow the election no matter who wins, I’m reminded of these words from Buckminster Fuller: “If you take all the machinery in the world and dump it in the ocean, within months more than half of all humanity will die and within another six months they’d almost all be gone; if you took ...

The American Election Is Going To Be Fun.
With the national polls showing Sniffer Biden has a double figure lead byt state – by – state polling showing the race neck and neck, the scandal involving Biden’s son Hunter and dodgy deals in China and Ukraine now embracing Pappy Joe’s activities as Obama’s Vice President, the Democrats claiming Trump will not accept defeat …

Biden the Democrats least hopeless hopeful? Or is he?
A senior U.S. Republican reportedly said recently that the most difficult ticket Donald Trump could face in the next election would be Joe Biden partnered by Elizabeth Warren. This was not, needless to say, because Biden was a brilliant debater or a lethal political adversary. “If he was any stupider, my you’d have to water him”, the anonymous Republican quipped.See also >>>

Sane Democrats See Little To Gain From Impeaching Trump, Fear It Will Backfire
In an opinion poll commissioned by Reuters a majority of US Democrat voters say they fear that the latest m,ove to impeach President Trump over the Biden-Ukraine scandal will backfire, giving him a boost into the 2020 US election. One has to wonder about an epidemic of dementia among leading Democrats who have forgotten that only a few weeks ago

You have probably never heard of the Awan brothers, a couple of dodgy foreigners with very strong links to the US Democrat National Committee.

"Corrupt To The Core": Dems In Disarray Over Hunter Pardon As 'Rule Of Law' Narrative Implodes

Zero Hedge

Absolute chaos has broken out on the left following Joe Biden's blanket pardon of his son Hunter - which spans the period right before Hunter joined the board of Ukrainian energy giant Burisma (for $1M/year), through yesterday evening.

It was also revealed that months of denying this would happen were pure lies, as the pardon had been in the works for months.

In short, it couldn't be any more obvious that Hunter was simply the Biden family bag-man.

French government on brink of collapse after forcing budget past parliament

Telegraph

The French government is on the brink of collapse after France’s hard-Right and Left-wing parties filed motions of no confidence against Michel Barnier, the prime minister.

Their move came after Mr Barnier, 73, said on Monday that he would force through a controversial new social security budget without a parliamentary vote by invoking presidential decree, having failed to win enough support for the bill.

This caused fury across the Paris parliament. The Left-wing La France Insoumise party responded by filing a motion of no confidence on behalf of the New Popular Front.

Marine Le Pen, leader of the hard-Right RN, announced that her party would also file its own motion, but said it would also vote for any similar bill put forward by other parties.

“I tell people, I joke sometimes I say masks do work. A lot like bathing suits work to keep pee out of the pool. They’re not very effective. So that’s one of those things that, you know, it was a farce. Pretty much everything they said was a farce.

Net Zero is Now Costing Serious Jobs and Threatening Entire Regional Economies

Daily Sceptic

Britain’s Net Zero policies, such as the incremental ban on non-electric cars, are a fiasco, now costing serious jobs and threatening entire regional economies, says Liam Halligan in the Telegraph.

The decision to close [the Luton van-making factory] was taken by Stellantis – the world’s fourth-largest auto-making conglomerate, comprising European and U.S. brands including Chrysler, Fiat and Peugeot, as well as Vauxhall.

Carlos Tavares, Stellantis Chief Executive, said earlier this year that the zero emissions vehicle (ZEV) mandate was making car-making in the U.K. economically unviable – which is obvious, to anyone who has been paying attention.

Arla’s project adding anti-methane compound to cows’ feed is another limb of the fake food agenda
expose - news

European dairy foods giant Arla has enlisted 30 farms to participate in trials of an additive to cattle feed that they claim will reduce methane gas emissions.  As the safety of the product is as questionable as the dubious reasons for introducing it and the risk to humans is unknown there has quite rightly been a public backlash.

Aside from the health and environmental risks, as Dr. Lawrie highlights, this is just another instance of billionaires meddling with our food supplies. This should raise red flags for anyone who understands what, for example, Bill Gates’ aims are.

The Great Grid Gamble

Centre for Policy Studies 

UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband hailed a recent report from the National Energy System Operator (NESO) as vindicating his plan to decarbonise the grid by 2030.

But new analysis shows that the NESO report is built around a series of assumptions designed to cast Miliband’s plans in the best possible light, rather than reflecting the reality of the energy markets.

As other critics have pointed out, the NESO report says that ‘several elements’ of Miliband’s plan are ‘at the limit of what is feasible’. For example, it envisages building twice as much transmission network capacity in the next five years as was built in total over the last decade, with zero delays.

Far more alarming, however, is that the NESO justifies Miliband’s plans by forecasting high gas and carbon prices – substantially higher than market projections, or even the numbers produced by his own department.

Britain's Self Destructive Race To Net Zero Is Driven By Corruption In High Places

 

Late last year it was revealed that almost half the ruling Conservative Party MPs in the U.K. Parliament belong to a Caucus promoting extreme Net Zero ideas that is funded by a small group of green billionaires led, quelle surprise, by the ECF and CAF, along with Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisers and Oak Foundation. The Caucus is part of the Conservative Environment Network (CEN) which is run by Ben Goldsmith. For his part, Goldsmith is one of five trustees of the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation.

Anxious not to be left out, Labour Party politicians in the U.K. are flocking to support a new green campaigning group called Labour Climate and Environment Forum (LCEF). At its launch last year, senior Labour politicians present included Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves and former leade and Net Zero champion Ed Miliband along with his brother David who was environment minister at the time but now works for billionaire Marxist George Soros. If ever there were two words that should never be connected to the same person those are they. 

LCEF claims its team comes from all parts of the labour movement, but if we follow the money that appears to be a slight misrepresentation. LCEF is funded by the European Climate Fund (ECF) and Clean Air Fund (CAF), both supported by Extinction Rebellion (XR) paymaster Sir Christopher Hohn and also by the world's second - favourite billionaire psychopath George Soros. The world's Number 1 favourite billionaire psychpath, Bill Gates, also has links to LCEF.

LCEF is run by Paul McNamee who has worked for the Green Alliance and recently for London Mayor Sadiq Khan, and appears to have a number of links with the Green Alliance, which says it is an “independent think tank and charity focused on ambitious leadership for the environment”. In 2019, it was able to signal its considerable virtue by dropping funding arrangements with Shell and BP. No great surprise, perhaps, that new funders in the form of the ECF, Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace were able to take up the financial slack. 

The LCEF funding is of some interest, since this relatively small operation seems to pick a number of grantees at the more colourful end of the Net Zero spectrum. The funding for a new XR offshoot, run by former XR activists Gail Bradbrook and Stuart Basden, works to “make good on the potential of Extinction Rebellion”. Cash to Stop Ecocide International helps develop green ‘lawfare’, while the World Environmental Crimes Unit builds a database on individuals “holding back action on climate in the U.K.” Peers for the Planet, a group of 150 members of the U.K. House of Lords, is helped in its mission to put climate change at the top of the political agenda.

The sheer scale of the money that is available to fund all these groups from a relatively small number of very rich people is beginning to attract wide attention. But where does that money come from?

Unfortunately few people know the story behind the UK’s climate laws and the corruption between senior politicians and George Soros who was the motivating force for the legislation pushed through by Ed (Bacon Sandwich man) Miliband which is propelling us towards a total energy energy disaster.

Soon to be Prime Minister Tony Blair met George Soros for private talks at the New York Plaza Hotel on April 10 1996 and later sold to Soros and his consortium extremely valuable British state assets in cut price sweetheart deals in 2000 and 2003, then delegated to sidekick David Miliband the drafting of laws and policies Soros desired, which resulted in the notorious Climate Change Act 2008 which included a legally binding commitment to net zero.

As Environment Minister in the Labour government 2006-2007 David Miliband was the architect of the Climate Change Act 2008 which Soros wanted and David Miliband was subsequently awarded the highly lucrative CEO position in a New York charity supported with “hefty donations” by Soros. Tony Blair received many years of consultancy work from Soros worth at least $25 million. David Cameron who supported the Climate Change Act and whose Conservative Party mainly voted for it, subsequently received a directorship of a Soros financed organization.

The first chairman of the Climate Change Committee, Lord Adair Turner, was in an "alliance" with Soros according to the Daily Telegraph (article linked) and was later appointed chairman of Soros’ Institute for New Economic Thinking and subsequently chairman of the Energy Transitions Commission!

Then we move on the the Climate Change Committee which should be more honestly rebranded as the bungs, graft and payola committee. Steven Fries is a current member of the Committee and a senior fellow of Soros’ Institute for New Economic Thinking. Piers Forster, current chair of the Climate Change Committee, is an ”agenda setter” at the World Economic Forum with George Soros. The CEO of the Climate Change Committee, Christopher Stark, benefits from a gravy train pay grade of $225,000 a year and previously worked for Soros’ close friend and accomplice Gordon Brown who was publicly congratulated by Soros at the G20 in 2009 for saving the world financial system with the words ”this was Gordon Brown’s finest hour”. Stark has been appointed CEO of Gordon Brown’s Carbon Trust from April 30 2024. Other members of the Climate Change Committee also have Soros connections. What an incesteous little world this 'saving the planet' industry is.

George Soros, through his foundation Open Society, part financed the Conservative think tank Bright Blue which recommended Legal Net Zero 2019 to Theresa May who enthusiastically implemented the measure.

Soon afterwards, Theresa May started a very long series of one hour free to attend $125,000 speeches booked through the same Washington speakers agency favored by Soros’ agent and proxy Tony Blair.

Shortly after Lord Stern published his report ‘Economics of Climate Change’ in 2006 he travelled around with George Soros giving talks about Oil Wars and Climate Change and demanding $100billion, rising to $500billion, from Western governments to solve problems they’d just invented. Who was to control what happened to that money? None other than George Soros through the IPCC.

Taking everything together, it’s very easy to see what has been going on here which is certain key individuals such as Tony Blair and David Miliband being on billion dollar green investor George Soros’ payroll.

No wonder John Major, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Theresa May avoided writing about George Soros in their memoirs despite being very closely connected to him. Obviously because they didn’t want to be outed as beneficiaries of a 90 year old billionaire psychopath who has declared for the past forty years that his aim in life is to destroy the liberal democracies of the west and set up a  technocratic world government.

Who Runs America, The White House Or The Shadow Government?
Reports of President Barack Obama’s meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin at the G20 summit over the weekend do not look right in the context of yet another blitz of provocative rhetoric from The Pentagon and the Department of Defence towards Moscow.
