President Vladimir Putin banning western social media companies from Russia showing the failures of his Ukraine campaign indicates he "fears the Russian people more than anything else", says Liberal Senator James Paterson. Senator Paterson has been meeting with senior figures in Congress, the CIA and other agencies as well as representatives at the United Nations - as part of a bi-partisan delegation to the United States. "I think it is indicative of the vulnerable position he himself is in – that his position is not as secure as he has broadcast to the world and that he does fear the Russian people more than anything else," Mr Paterson said. "If they stand up to him in sufficient numbers … that could be the thing that changes the course of these terrible events."

Escobar: How Russia Will Counterpunch The US/EU Declaration Of War Authored by Pepe Escobar via The Saker blog, Only self-sufficiency affords total independence. And the Big Picture has also been keenly understood by the Global South … One of the key underlying themes of the Russia/Ukraine/NATO matrix is that the Empire of Lies (copyright Putin) has been rattled to the core by the combined ability of Russian hypersonic missiles and a defensive shield capable of blocking incoming nuclear missiles from the West, thereby ending Mutually Assured Destruction (M.A.D.) This has led the Americans to nearly risk a hot war to be able to place hypersonic missiles that they still don’t have on Ukraine’s western borders, and so be within three minutes of Moscow. For that, of course, they need Ukraine, as well as Poland and Romania in Eastern Europe. In Ukraine, the Americans are determined to fight to the last European soul – if that’s what it takes. This may be the last roll of the (nuclear) dice.

Fox News contributor Dan Hoffman joined Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino Friday on ''America''s Newsroom'' to discuss the mercenary team hunting Ukrainian President Zelenskyy.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court sided unanimously with the Biden administration Friday and reversed a lower court decision that had allowed a lawsuit by Muslim men claiming religious bias by the FBI to go forward. But the justices'' decision did not end the case. The government had claimed allowing the lawsuit to go forward could reveal national security secrets. The high court, however, didn''t decide whether that was the case or whether the case should have been dismissed. Instead, Justice Samuel Alito wrote that a federal appeals court had made an error when looking at the case. He said that the appeals court was wrong to conclude that the longstanding “state secrets” privilege, which protects the government from having to reveal certain information, was altered by Congress'' passage of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. As a result, the court sent the case back for further review. The case the high court was considering involves a group of three men from Southern California.

Screenwriter John Hodge on the reboot of the cold war spy drama he was told was irrelevant, how half a line of his Bond script made it into No Time to Die, and why there’ll be no more Trainspotting sequels As the CIA and MI6 try to predict the next gambit of the unstable leader in the Kremlin, Britons flinch at reports of the possible use of nuclear weapons. But this is 1962; Khrushchev not Putin. ITV’s new adaptation of Len Deighton’s cold war novel The Ipcress File – which was a 60s-defining movie starring Michael Caine as the working-class spy Harry Palmer – was meant to be a period piece for 2022 viewers. But the Russian president’s invasion of Ukraine, and pointed reminders to the world about the size of his nuclear weapons, have given the Sunday night drama a new context. Continue reading…

Digital Brownshirts And Their Masters Authored by David Souto Alcalde and Thomas Harrington via Thee Brownstone Institute, We are under siege. A nihilistic fanaticism is running free among us thanks to the emergence of a journalistic “ethos” that establishes an almost complete equivalence between the “truth” and those utterances that support the strategic goals of the great economic and digital powers of our time. A few months ago Facebook censored an article in the British Medical Journal that highlighted serious irregularities in Pfizer’s clinical vaccine trials. Then two weeks ago, fact-checkers from the Spanish websites Newtral and Maldita burst into the public square to accuse professor of Pharmacology, renowned expert in drug safety, and ex-WHO adviser, Joan Ramón Laporte of foisting lies and disinformation onto the Spanish populace. This, in reaction to Laporte’s testimony before a Spanish parliamentary commission investigating the country’s vaccination effort. Despite his towering credentials, his intervention was quickly tarred as problematic by the media and subsequently banned by YouTube.

Will There Be A 2024 Presidential Election? Authored by Jim Quinn via The Burning Platform blog, “All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed, they must rely exclusively on force.” - George Orwell “Every war when it comes, or before it comes, is represented not as a war but as an act of self-defense against a homicidal maniac.” - George Orwell The smell of tyranny is in the air. The level of propaganda, disinformation, and mistruth has reached astounding heights, as the ruling oligarchy/Deep State/globalist cabal are thrashing about violently because their frauds are being exposed on a daily basis. This shift to the tyranny of force has massive implications for everyone on the planet. When every quote from Orwell’s 1984 applies every day to everything swirling around us, you begin to realize we are in the midst of a dystopian nightmare which gets more ghoulish by the day. The last two years have been a fraud of epic proportions, conducted by a cadre of evil money titans, their financial, media, and medical apparatchiks, with the objective of tearing down our existing social and economic structure and “resetting” the world where they own everything and you own nothing, eat bugs, and provide the slave labor needed to keep society functioning.

The case was filed by Abu Zubaydah, a Guantánamo prisoner arrested and held without charge since 2002, in Poland Two psychologists who devised the CIA’s post-9/11 system of US “enhanced interrogation”, which has been widely denounced as torture, cannot be called to testify in a case in Poland brought by a terrorism suspect subjected to the abuses, the supreme court has ruled. In a 6-3 ruling on Thursday , the court allowed the US government to block the psychologists from giving evidence in a case brought by Abu Zubaydah, a Guantánamo prisoner who was arrested in 2002 and has been held without charge ever since. The majority of the justices granted the government the privilege of “state secrets” – a power that prevents the public disclosure of information deemed harmful to national security.
