"Vostok 2022: the Military Convergence of Eurasia"

Russia Begins "Partial" Mobilization for War! Putin AFFIRMS Will Use NUCLEAR WEAPONS if existence of Russia is threatened.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has Decreed a "Partial" Mobilization inside Russia, to deal with aggressive anti-Russian policy and the full might of NATO military support of Neo-Nazi Ukraine. Military conscription of Military Reserves and those with former military training in specific fields, begins immediately today, September 21, 2022.

In a speech broadcast to the entire Russian nation, Putin outlined the history of the West-incited forcible overthrow of Ukraine's government in 2014, and the attacks by Ukraine's neo-Nazis against the citizens of Luhansk and Donetsk because the populations there are Russian-speaking.

He went on to say "The West crossed all lines." in the activities they are engaging in, within Ukraine, against Russia.

300,000 reservists are being called up.

He went on to describe efforts of the West being aimed at the destruction and break-up of Russia and pointed out that Ukraine is already using NUCLEAR BLACKMAIL by shelling the Zaporozyhe Nuclear Power Plant.

Putin pointed out that the West has publicly said they are willing to use nuclear weapons against Russia under certain circumstances in Ukraine and he BLUNTLY replied "Russia has sophisticated weapons, many superior to the West, and Russia WILL USE THEM to protect itself."  He said, "IF THERE IS A THREAT TO OUR COUNTRY WE WILL USE OUR NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY TO PROTECT US AND I AM NOT BLUFFING."

After the Presidential speech aired, Russian Defense Minister Shoigu appeared on Russian TV.  His remarks appear below the video of the Putin speech . . .

Here is video of the relevant parts of President Putin's speech:

DEFENSE MINISTER SHOIGU

In televised remarks after the Presidential speech, Russian Minister of Defense Shoigu said the following:

"Russia is at war with the collective West" 

 "NATO SATELLITES ARE WORKING AGAINST RUSSIAN FORCES"

"WE ARE WITNESSING STRIKES FROM WESTERN WEAPONS ON CIVILIANS"

ON PARTIAL MOBILIZATION:

300,000 Reservists will be called-up

This is NOT a one-time action.

"IT APPLIES TO THOSE WITH PREVIOUS MILITARY EXPERIENCE" and "IT AFFECTS 1% OF 25 MLN RESOURCES"

"PEOPLE CALLED UP WILL RECEIVE MILITARY TRAINING BEFORE BEING DEPLOYED"

Russia's casualties from 'special military operation' in Ukraine are 5,937 dead.

Ukraine's casualties are "more than 61,000 dead, more than 100,000 wounded; that's half the country's army."

Here is a brief excerpt from Shoigu's remarks:

UPDATE 9:09 AM EDT --

Within MINUTES of President Putin's speech, Russian business paper RBC says that all tickets for direct flights today and tomorrow from Moscow to Istanbul, Yerevan, Tashkent and Baku sold out. People are fleeing Russia.

OFFICIAL TRANSLATION OF PRESIDENT PUTIN'S SPEECH:

President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Friends,

The subject of this address is the situation in Donbass and the course of the special military operation to liberate it from the neo-Nazi regime, which seized power in Ukraine in 2014 as the result of an armed state coup.

Today I am addressing you – all citizens of our country, people of different generations, ages and ethnicities, the people of our great Motherland, all who are united by the great historical Russia, soldiers, officers and volunteers who are fighting on the frontline and doing their combat duty, our brothers and sisters in the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions and other areas that have been liberated from the neo-Nazi regime.

The issue concerns the necessary, imperative measures to protect the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Russia and support the desire and will of our compatriots to choose their future independently, and the aggressive policy of some Western elites, who are doing their utmost to preserve their domination and with this aim in view are trying to block and suppress any sovereign and independent development centres in order to continue to aggressively force their will and pseudo-values on other countries and nations.

The goal of that part of the West is to weaken, divide and ultimately destroy our country. They are saying openly now that in 1991 they managed to split up the Soviet Union and now is the time to do the same to Russia, which must be divided into numerous regions that would be at deadly feud with each other.

They devised these plans long ago. They encouraged groups of international terrorists in the Caucasus and moved NATO’s offensive infrastructure close to our borders. They used indiscriminate Russophobia as a weapon, including by nurturing the hatred of Russia for decades, primarily in Ukraine, which was designed to become an anti-Russia bridgehead. They turned the Ukrainian people into cannon fodder and pushed them into a war with Russia, which they unleashed back in 2014. They used the army against civilians and organised a genocide, blockade and terror against those who refused to recognise the government that was created in Ukraine as the result of a state coup.

After the Kiev regime publicly refused to settle the issue of Donbass peacefully and went as far as to announce its ambition to possess nuclear weapons, it became clear that a new offensive in Donbass – there were two of them before – was inevitable, and that it would be inevitably followed by an attack on Russia’s Crimea, that is, on Russia.

In this connection, the decision to start a pre-emptive military operation was necessary and the only option. The main goal of this operation, which is to liberate the whole of Donbass, remains unaltered.

The Lugansk People’s Republic has been liberated from the neo-Nazis almost completely. Fighting in the Donetsk People’s Republic continues. Over the previous eight years, the Kiev occupation regime created a deeply echeloned line of permanent defences. A head-on attack against them would have led to heavy losses, which is why our units, as well as the forces of the Donbass republics, are acting competently and systematically, using military equipment and saving lives, moving step by step to liberate Donbass, purge cities and towns of the neo-Nazis, and help the people whom the Kiev regime turned into hostages and human shields.

As you know, professional military personnel serving under contract are taking part in the special military operation. Fighting side by side with them are volunteer units – people of different ethnicities, professions and ages who are real patriots. They answered the call of their hearts to rise up in defence of Russia and Donbass.

In this connection, I have already issued instructions for the Government and the Defence Ministry to determine the legal status of volunteers and personnel of the military units of the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics. It must be the same as the status of military professionals of the Russian army, including material, medical and social benefits. Special attention must be given to organising the supply of military and other equipment for volunteer units and Donbass people’s militia.

While acting to attain the main goals of defending Donbass in accordance with the plans and decisions of the Defence Ministry and the General Staff, our troops have liberated considerable areas in the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions and a number of other areas. This has created a protracted line of contact that is over 1,000 kilometres long.

This is what I would like to make public for the first time today. After the start of the special military operation, in particular after the Istanbul talks, Kiev representatives voiced quite a positive response to our proposals. These proposals concerned above all ensuring Russia’s security and interests. But a peaceful settlement obviously did not suit the West, which is why, after certain compromises were coordinated, Kiev was actually ordered to wreck all these agreements.

More weapons were pumped into Ukraine. The Kiev regime brought into play new groups of foreign mercenaries and nationalists, military units trained according to NATO standards and receiving orders from Western advisers.

At the same time, the regime of reprisals throughout Ukraine against their own citizens, established immediately after the armed coup in 2014, was harshly intensified. The policy of intimidation, terror and violence is taking on increasingly mass-scale, horrific and barbaric forms.

I want to stress the following. We know that the majority of people living in the territories liberated from the neo-Nazis, and these are primarily the historical lands of Novorossiya, do not want to live under the yoke of the neo-Nazi regime. People in the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, in Lugansk and Donetsk saw and are seeing now the atrocities perpetrated by the neo-Nazis in the [Ukrainian-] occupied areas of the Kharkov region. The descendants of Banderites and members of Nazi punitive expeditions are killing, torturing and imprisoning people; they are settling scores, beating up, and committing outrages on peaceful civilians.

There were over 7.5 million people living in the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics and in the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions before the outbreak of hostilities. Many of them were forced to become refugees and leave their homes. Those who have stayed – they number about five million – are now exposed to artillery and missile attacks launched by the neo-Nazi militants, who fire at hospitals and schools and stage terrorist attacks against peaceful civilians.

We cannot, we have no moral right to let our kin and kith be torn to pieces by butchers; we cannot but respond to their sincere striving to decide their destiny on their own.

The parliaments of the Donbass people’s republics and the military-civilian administrations of the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions have adopted decisions to hold referendums on the future of their territories and have appealed to Russia to support this.

I would like to emphasise that we will do everything necessary to create safe conditions for these referendums so that people can express their will. And we will support the choice of future made by the majority of people in the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics and the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions.

Friends,

Today our armed forces, as I have mentioned, are fighting on the line of contact that is over 1,000 kilometres long, fighting not only against neo-Nazi units but actually the entire military machine of the collective West.

In this situation, I consider it necessary to take the following decision, which is fully adequate to the threats we are facing. More precisely, I find it necessary to support the proposal of the Defence Ministry and the General Staff on partial mobilisation in the Russian Federation to defend our Motherland and its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to ensure the safety of our people and people in the liberated territories.

As I have said, we are talking about partial mobilisation. In other words, only military reservists, primarily those who served in the armed forces and have specific military occupational specialties and corresponding experience, will be called up.

Before being sent to their units, those called up for active duty will undergo mandatory additional military training based on the experience of the special military operation.

I have already signed Executive Order on partial mobilisation.

In accordance with legislation, the houses of the Federal Assembly – the Federation Council and the State Duma – will be officially notified about this in writing today.

The mobilisation will begin today, September 21. I am instructing the heads of the regions to provide the necessary assistance to the work of military recruitment offices.

I would like to point out that the citizens of Russia called up in accordance with the mobilisation order will have the status, payments and all social benefits of military personnel serving under contract.

Additionally, the Executive Order on partial mobilisation also stipulates additional measures for the fulfilment of the state defence order. The heads of defence industry enterprises will be directly responsible for attaining the goals of increasing the production of weapons and military equipment and using additional production facilities for this purpose. At the same time, the Government must address without any delay all aspects of material, resource and financial support for our defence enterprises.

Friends,

The West has gone too far in its aggressive anti-Russia policy, making endless threats to our country and people. Some irresponsible Western politicians are doing more than just speak about their plans to organise the delivery of long-range offensive weapons to Ukraine, which could be used to deliver strikes at Crimea and other Russian regions.

Such terrorist attacks, including with the use of Western weapons, are being delivered at border areas in the Belgorod and Kursk regions. NATO is conducting reconnaissance through Russia’s southern regions in real time and with the use of modern systems, aircraft, vessels, satellites and strategic drones.

Washington, London and Brussels are openly encouraging Kiev to move the hostilities to our territory. They openly say that Russia must be defeated on the battlefield by any means, and subsequently deprived of political, economic, cultural and any other sovereignty and ransacked.

They have even resorted to the nuclear blackmail. I am referring not only to the Western-encouraged shelling of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, which poses a threat of a nuclear disaster, but also to the statements made by some high-ranking representatives of the leading NATO countries on the possibility and admissibility of using weapons of mass destruction – nuclear weapons – against Russia.

I would like to remind those who make such statements regarding Russia that our country has different types of weapons as well, and some of them are more modern than the weapons NATO countries have. In the event of a threat to the territorial integrity of our country and to defend Russia and our people, we will certainly make use of all weapon systems available to us. This is not a bluff.

The citizens of Russia can rest assured that the territorial integrity of our Motherland, our independence and freedom will be defended – I repeat – by all the systems available to us. Those who are using nuclear blackmail against us should know that the wind rose can turn around.

It is our historical tradition and the destiny of our nation to stop those who are keen on global domination and threaten to split up and enslave our Motherland. Rest assured that we will do it this time as well.

I believe in your support.

***** BULLETIN ***** Chinese Military Convoy Enters Ukraine From Russia

BULLETIN  3:08 PM EDT, Sunday, 18 September, 2022 -- My former colleagues in the Intelligence Community during my years with FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force have sent me images of Chinese Army Units entering Ukraine from Russia.

The images -- and some video which is still being analyzed -- show a small convoy . . .  very small; of general military transport-type trucks, and some smaller vehicles akin to HUMVEES, traveling via public roads from Russia into Ukraine.

These are the images I am able to release so far:

The Red placard on the driver-side doors is the Flag of China.

This simple, small, act, changes the ENTIRE dynamic of the Russia-Ukraine situation.   Ukraine, the USA, the UK, and all of NATO, have just found out that China is now an active participant, and came in on the side of Russia.

The stakes in this situation just went so high, they went completely off the charts.

It is no understatement to say this is an earth-shattering development.

More when I get it . . . .  VIDEO IS COMING WITHIN MINUTES . . . Check back . . . . .

UPDATE 3:34 PM EDT --

VIDEO

With this single, small, almost insignificant action, China has just announced to the whole world that it is now militarily standing with Russia, inside Ukraine.

Super-powers #2 and #3, are now openly, physically, confronting Super Power #1.

It seems to me that we in the USA and our European vassal state "partners" ought to get the message, and get it quick: I personally perceive the message to be "Either this Ukraine nonsense stops now, or open warfare between all three nuclear-armed super-powers is now on the table."

Dr. Robert Malone - Human Cyborgs are Just the Beginning.

The USG Administrative State believes that Human Augmentation is ‘Imperative’

Ever since I wrote the substack article on human augmentation and the UK Ministry of Defence and the German Military Complex , discussing that these two organizations advocate for human augmentation in a report entitled "Human Augmentation – The Dawn of a New Paradigm", I have been wondering if the US government, that is to say the US Department of Defense (DoD) and the Administrative State which controls it, has developed similar plans.

This week I did a little research starting with the key words - “human augmentation” and “DoD” and there “it” is. The “it” being the strategy playbook and battlefield field plan for creating human cyborgs…

For those who lust for more stimulation and shaping after reading the following, this substack also relates to our June 16 substack entitled “ARPA-H, Intelligence Community within NIH”.

To begin - there are various “hints” from various governmental agencies that human augmentation research is underway and has been ongoing for a number of years. For instance, this article:

Inside the Military’s New Office for Cyborgs 2014

DARPA’s Arati Prabhakar tells Defense One that cutting-edge biology research is the future of national security

Defense One, April 1, 2014

The ability to link human brains to machines, create new life forms and build Star Trek-style disease detectors will be the focus of a new Defense Department office soon.

The new office, named the Biological Technology Office, or BTO, will serve as a clearinghouse for Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, programs into brain research, synthetic biology and epidemiology. The office will cover everything from brewing up tomorrow's bioweapon detectors and connecting humans to computers to designing entirely new types of super-strong living materials that could form the basis of future devices. Here are the key areas in more detail.

This author does let “the cat out of the bag”, so to speak, by his use of the word “cyborg” in the article’s title. That is the “military’s new office for cyborgs.” But the actual content of the article does little to enlighten us as to what the DoD actually has planned.

It is getting hard to tell who is driving the bus here, the Pentagon or Paramount pictures’ script writers. Do DARPA locker rooms have pinups of Jeri Ryan? Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Is Bruce Sterling actually a deep state operative and CIA consultant?

Another fascinating title and article - this search was a little like following the bread crumbs to grannies house…

Researchers Help DoD Consider Challenges of Human Enhancement

DEVCOM CBC Public Affairs
November 18th, 2019

Peter Emanuel, Ph.D., the Army’s Senior Research Scientist for Bioengineering, sees a future 30 years from now where a U.S. Soldier can direct a swarm of drones in battle through a direct brain-to-machine connection using a neural implant. The implant also allows him to see exactly what each of those drones is seeing, then digitally integrate this information in his brain and send it as data to other machines, fellow Soldiers or his command and control element.

This is a little more helpful.

Note that the person being interviewed for this article is Dr. Peter Emanuel. This is important later on in this Substack. Trust me, it is a “Where’s Waldo” kind of thing.

Also, interesting that now the DoD is using the language “human enhancement” - so much softer and gentler than “human cyborg,” don’t you think?

This article is even a little more current. Of note - The COVIDcrisis most definitely took the spotlight off the whole “human cyborg” research agenda. Something tells me that the DoD didn’t mind that too much.

US Space Force Chief Scientist Says Human Augmentation ‘Imperative’

The Defense Post, May 05, 2021

"Today we’re on the brink of a new age: the age of human augmentation"

Human augmentation should be embraced by the West to keep up with the competition, US Space Force chief scientist Dr. Joel Mozer said during an event last week at the Airforce Research Laboratory.

“In our business of national defense, it’s imperative that we embrace this new age, lest we fall behind our strategic competitors,” Mozer said.

Mozer added that unprecedented developments are forthcoming in areas such as artificial intelligence, which will allow the military to craft tactics and strategies that “no human could.” Autonomous programs will eventually provide real-time advice to commanders, and multiple autonomous agents will be able to assist commanders and decision-makers in reconnaissance and fire control.

The chief scientist further explained that human augmentation will eventually develop into technologies such as augmented reality and virtual reality — including “nerve stimulation” to enhance the simulation of physical sensations.

“You could put [an] individual into a state of flow, where learning is optimized and retention is maximized,” Mozer said. “This individual could be shaped into somebody with very high-performing potential.”

(I mean, who isn’t up for a little “nerve stimulation” among friends?)

The language used is really helpful in tracking the origins of the ideas. Bruce Sterling’s classic cyberpunk novel Schismatrix is all about the conflict between Shapers and Mechanists, Shapers being the group that alters the body through genetic modification and specialized mental training. Mechanists are the group that modifies bodies through computer software and external alterations.

Yeah, we’ve seen that movie too.

Then we have the Big Kahuna, the report that begins to lay out the true intent of the military in all of this.

This large, year-long assessment - commissioned by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering and conducted by the DoD Biotechnologies for Health and Human Performance Council was published at the end of 2019. It is entitled:

“Cyborg Soldier 2050: Human/Machine Fusion and the Implications for the Future of the DoD”

Subject terms: “Cyborg” and “Human/Machine Enhancement”

That abstract of that assessment reads:

Abstract: The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (Alexandria, VA) established the DOD Biotechnologies for Health and Human Performance Council (BHPC) study group to continually assess research and development in biotechnology. The BHPC group assesses scientific advances for improved health and performance with potential military application; identifies corresponding risks and opportunities and ethical, legal, and social implications; and provides senior leadership with recommendations for mitigating adversarial threats and maximizing opportunities for future U.S. forces. At the direction of the BHPC Executive Committee, the BHPC study group conducted a year-long assessment entitled “Cyborg Soldier 2050: Human/Machine Fusion and the Impact for the Future of the DOD”. 

The primary objective of this effort was to forecast and evaluate the military implications of machines that are physically integrated with the human body to augment and enhance human performance over the next 30 years. This report summarizes this assessment and findings; identifies four potential military-use cases for new technologies in this area; and assesses their impact upon the DOD organizational structure, warfighter doctrine and tactics, and interoperability with U.S. allies and civil society.

This analysis was made public when published, but then COVIDcrisis soon overwhelmed us all and it quickly faded from public memory.

If you didn’t read this report back in the beginning of 2020 or if you have forgotten about it, below is the executive summary of this 50 page report (or click on the linked title above to read the whole report):

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A DoD Biotechnologies for Health and Human Performance Council (BHPC; Alexandria, VA) study group surveyed a wide range of current and emerging technologies relevant to assisting and augmenting human performance in many domains. The team used this information to develop a series of vignettes as case studies for discussion and analysis including feasibility; military application; and ethical, legal, and social implication (ELSI) considerations. Ultimately, the team selected four vignettes as being technically feasible by 2050 or earlier. The following vignettes are relevant to military needs and offer capabilities beyond current military systems:

• ocular enhancements to imaging, sight, and situational awareness;

• restoration and programmed muscular control through an optogenetic bodysuit

• sensor web;

• auditory enhancement for communication and protection; and

• direct neural enhancement of the human brain for two-way data transfer.

Although each of these technologies will offer the potential to incrementally enhance performance beyond the normal human baseline, the 

BHPC study group analysis suggested that the development of direct neural enhancements of the human brain for two-way data transfer would create a revolutionary advancement in future military capabilities. This technology is predicted to facilitate read/write capability between humans and machines and between humans through brain-to-brain interactions. These interactions would allow warfighters direct communication with unmanned and autonomous systems, as well as with other humans, to optimize command and control systems and operations. The potential for direct data exchange between human neural networks and microelectronic systems could revolutionize tactical warfighter communications, speed the transfer of knowledge throughout the chain of command, and ultimately dispel the “fog” of war. Direct neural enhancement of the human brain through neuro-silica interfaces could improve target acquisition and engagement and accelerate defensive and offensive systems.

Although the control of military hardware, enhanced situational awareness, and faster data assimilation afforded by direct neural control would fundamentally alter the battlefield by the year 2050, the other three cyborg technologies are also likely to be adopted in some form by warfighters and civil society.

The BHPC study group predicted that human/machine enhancement technologies will become widely available before the year 2050 and will steadily mature, largely driven by civilian demand and a robust bio-economy that is at its earliest stages of development in today’s global market. The global healthcare market will fuel human/machine enhancement technologies primarily to augment the loss of functionality from injury or disease, and defense applications will likely not drive the market in its later stages. The BHPC study group anticipated that the gradual introduction of beneficial restorative cyborg technologies will, to an extent, acclimatize the population to their use.

The BHPC study group projected that introduction of augmented human beings into the general population, DOD active duty personnel, and near-peer competitors will accelerate in the years following 2050 and will lead to imbalances, inequalities, and inequities in established legal, security, and ethical frameworks. Each of these technologies will afford some level of performance improvement to end users, which will widen the performance gap between enhanced and unenhanced individuals and teams. The BHPC study group analyzed case studies and posed a series of questions to drive its assessment of the impact to DOD programs, policies, and operations.

The following are the resulting recommendations (not listed in order of priority): (RM- I have only posted the top summaries for these recommendations, please go to the report for more detail).

1. DOD personnel must conduct global assessments of societal awareness and perceptions of human/machine enhancement technologies.

2. U.S. leadership should use existing and newly developed forums (e.g., NATO) to discuss impacts to interoperability with allied partners as we approach the year 2050. This will help develop policies and practices that will maximize interoperability of forces.

3. DOD should invest in the development of dynamic legal, security, and ethical frameworks under its control that anticipate emerging technologies.

4. Efforts should be undertaken to reverse negative cultural narratives of enhancement technologies.

5. DOD personnel should conduct tabletop wargames and targeted threat assessments to determine the doctrine and tactics of allied and adversarial forces.

6. The U.S. Government should support efforts to establish a whole-of-nation approach to human/machine enhancement technologies versus a whole-of-government approach.

7. The DOD should support foundational research to validate human/machine fusion technologies before fielding them and to track the long-term safety and impact on individuals and groups.

This rabbit hole then led me to the DARPA website - and wow! This research -to create human cyborgs, it is actually happening.

A quick glance at the Biological Technology Office and DARPA reveals that programatic goals of building cyborg capabilities are being conducted at an astounding rate. The webpage search engine allows a search of the non-classified programs already being developed. So, one can go to this site and envision many, if not most of these technologies listed as being used for warfare. The military is developing human augmentation for military uses, not civilian. This is important to keep in mind.

So, I spent a little time searching and webmining the more “interesting” DARPA projects. Below are just a few of the abstracts of research projects being funded by DARPA and the DoD:

The Measuring Biological Aptitude (MBA) program aims to address the need for a more capable fighting force by helping individual warfighters identify, measure, and track personalized biomarkers related to training and peak performance for specialized roles. If the program succeeds, MBA technologies will give warfighters the ability to understand the underlying biological processes that govern their performance. 

Specifically, these technologies would elucidate the internal expression circuits (e.g., genetic, epigenetic, metabolomic) that shape militarily relevant cognitive, behavioral, and physical traits. New devices for continuously tracking these expression circuits could be integrated into the body to provide instantaneous user feedback, helping the warfighter to improve performance throughout training, assessment, selection, and mission execution for a given military specialty.

DARPA's multi-year AI Next portfolio of programs and investments seeks to develop contextual reasoning in artificial intelligence systems to improve human/machine teaming.

The Agile Teams (A-Teams) program aims to discover, test, and demonstrate generalizable mathematical abstractions for the design of agile human-machine teams and to provide predictive insight into team performance. While human-machine teams have been the subject of considerable past work in artificial intelligence and autonomy, designing agile team architectures remains largely a trial-and-error enterprise. 

The A-Teams program seeks to create a systematic methodology to design teams that best use the capabilities of both humans and machines and that can achieve enhanced performance in uncertain, dynamic, and co-evolving environments. These new abstractions will be validated using experimental testbeds aimed to support reproducible evaluation of human-machine team architectures in a diverse range of problem contexts.

The Hand Proprioception and Touch Interfaces (HAPTIX) program is pursuing key technologies to enable precision control of and sensory feedback from sensor-equipped upper-limb prosthetic devices. If successful, the resulting system would provide users near-natural control of prosthetic hands and arms via bi-directional peripheral nerve implants.

The Safe Genes program supports force protection and military health and readiness by protecting Service members from accidental or intentional misuse of genome editing technologies. Additional work will leverage advances in gene editing technology to expedite development of advanced prophylactic and therapeutic treatments against gene editors. Advances within the program will ensure the United States remains at the vanguard of the broadly accessible and rapidly progressing field of genome editing.

Safe Genes performer teams work across three primary technical focus areas to develop tools and methodologies to control, counter, and even reverse the effects of genome editing—including gene drives—in biological systems across scales. First, researchers are developing the genetic circuitry and genome editing machinery for robust, spatial, temporal, and reversible control of genome editing activity in living systems. Second, researchers are developing small molecules and molecular strategies to provide prophylactic and treatment solutions that prevent or limit genome editing activity and protect the genome integrity of organisms and populations. Third, researchers are developing “genetic remediation” strategies that eliminate unwanted engineered genes from a broad range of complex population and environmental contexts to restore systems to functional and genetic baseline states.

Overall, the Safe Genes program is creating a layered, modular, and adaptable solution set to: protect warfighters and the homeland against intentional or accidental misuse of genome editing technologies; prevent and/or reverse unwanted genetic changes in a given biological system; and facilitate the development of safe, precise, and effective medical treatments that use gene editors.

The Next-Generation Nonsurgical Neurotechnology (N3) program aims to develop high-performance, bi-directional brain-machine interfaces for able-bodied service members. Such interfaces would be enabling technology for diverse national security applications such as control of unmanned aerial vehicles and active cyber defense systems or teaming with computer systems to successfully multitask during complex military missions.

Whereas the most effective, state-of-the-art neural interfaces require surgery to implant electrodes into the brain, N3 technology would not require surgery and would be man-portable, thus making the technology accessible to a far wider population of potential users. Noninvasive neurotechnologies such as the electroencephalogram and transcranial direct current stimulation already exist, but do not offer the precision, signal resolution, and portability required for advanced applications by people working in real-world settings.

The envisioned N3 technology breaks through the limitations of existing technology by delivering an integrated device that does not require surgical implantation, but has the precision to read from and write to 16 independent channels within a 16mm3 volume of neural tissue within 50ms. Each channel is capable of specifically interacting with sub-millimeter regions of the brain with a spatial and temporal specificity that rivals existing invasive approaches. Individual devices can be combined to provide the ability to interface to multiple points in the brain at once.

To enable future non-invasive brain-machine interfaces, N3 researchers are working to develop solutions that address challenges such as the physics of scattering and weakening of signals as they pass through skin, skull, and brain tissue, as well as designing algorithms for decoding and encoding neural signals that are represented by other modalities such as light, acoustic, or electro-magnetic energy.

The Neural Evidence Aggregation Tool (NEAT) program aims to overcome current limitations by developing a new cognitive science tool that identifies people at risk of suicide by using preconscious brain signals rather than asking questions and waiting for consciously filtered responses. By aggregating preconscious brain signals to stimuli, NEAT would determine what a person believes to be true, false, or indeterminate about specific types of knowledge that could be used to detect signs of depression, anxiety, or suicidal ideation earlier and more reliably than ever before. If successful, NEAT will not only significantly augment behavioral health screening, but it could also serve as a new way to assess ultimate treatment efficacy, since patients will often tell their clinicians what they think the clinician wants to hear rather than how they are truly feeling. Ultimately, NEAT intends to augment current behavioral health screening programs by providing clinicians with previously unavailable information to enable earlier interventions and more reliable measures of successful treatment.

The research activities that are being conducted by DARPA and the DoD are considerable. Even the small sampling of abstracts published above only begins to document just how large this endeavor is.

These technologies are further along than we might think, and we deserve to know more about them. This is the future that our government is planning for us, whether we like it or not, and it is a future that is opaque. From genetic engineering to new synthetics development for neural implants, to replacing and enhancing limbs for warfare - our military is “going there.” But the truth is, some places “we” shouldn’t go. Just because they “can,” doesn’t mean they “should”.

If you have learned anything since January 2020, I hope that you have learned to question the wisdom and insight of the insider cliques within the US Government and “Administrative State” who believe that it is acceptable to march ahead with genetic and mechanical engineering of human beings without meaningful oversight, let alone self awareness and any sense of bioethical boundaries.

If we truly wish to have a say in these new technologies, society (which is to say “we”) must be informed. “We” have a right to be informed. That means you and me. As these technologies develop, transhumanism will become all the rage. Think about that. These new technologies will be what future generations will have to look forward to. Human cyborgs are their futures. They, that is human cyborgs, will be our children and our grandchildren.

Thanks, Paramount. We need more “normalizing their vision of the future” in our lives please.

The military is already working on propaganda to “reverse negative cultural narratives of enhancement technologies.” So, once again - we are being played before we even know what the playing field looks like.

Like I said before, we have all seen that movie too.

The full scope of this program needs to be revealed to the American people. Although the executive report barely mentions gene editing technologies, the military is investing heavily in them and clearly with the intention of using them for the war fighter. The executive report barely skims the surface of the research that is currently being carried out by DARPA, and that is only one office within the Department of Defense. The public’s right to know about this research and what the final goals are is crucial.

Congress must demand answers and must demand open and transparent responses. As the report rightly points out, what happens in the military will make its way into the public sphere. We have a right to know what is being planned for our future “evolution.” I don’t use that word lightly. But that is how the UK Ministry of Defence has labeled human augmentation research.

Turns out that Silicon Valley darling and Klaus Schwab’s evil mini me Yuval Noah Harari (author of Homo Deus, which literally means “Man God”) is not so far out there in his thinking as we had thought.

The bioethics of human augmentation are complex. The regulatory processes must be developed before the technologies come into being, not the other way around. People must envision how these technologies will be used in civilian life, in military life and as life-saving treatments. People need to decide if and which of these technologies really are for the good of society. People need to become involved now.

That starts with education. Which begins with transparency by our government. In future Substacks, I hope that you and I will begin exploring the bioethics, the impact of these technologies, privacy issues, the targets, future visions of society and just what this all means.

After all, what could possibly go wrong?

Shocking announcement - Ukrainian troops have lost more than 4,000 soldiers and 8,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been wounded in the clashes of the last days

Over the weekend, the Russian Ministry of Defence announced a major redeployment of the Russian Izsum-Balakleja group in another direction. These forces are involved in the fighting in Donbass.

MILITARY EXPERTS EXPLAIN THE MOVE BY THE NEED TO CONCENTRATE FORCES AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE IN KEY AREAS WHERE FIGHTING IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY.

Ukrainian armed forces lost more than 4,000 soldiers and more than 8,000 wounded in the fierce fighting in the two main directions between 6 and 10 September, the defence ministry said.

Russian Air Force strikes destroyed a temporary staging point for units of the 36th Marine Brigade in the direction of Nikolaev-Krivorizhskoye, where a Ukrainian offensive had been thwarted the previous day, destroying more than 100 soldiers and 15 vehicles and armoured vehicles.

The Kharkiv area is not on the list of declared SAS targets. The occupied areas there were used as a buffer to cover the LNR and Russian border.

A GREAT DEAL OF FORCE AND RESOURCES HAVE BEEN EXPENDED TO HOLD THEM AND ARE NOW NEEDED ELSEWHERE, THE RUSSIAN MILITARY LEADERSHIP EXPLAINED THE REDEPLOYMENT.

Since the start of the operation, a total of 293 aircraft, 153 helicopters, 1933 unmanned aerial vehicles, 374 anti-aircraft missile systems, 4,883 tanks and other armoured combat vehicles, 831 multiple rocket launchers, 3,378 field artillery and mortar guns and 5,469 special military vehicles have been destroyed, Russian military spokesman Igor Konasenkov said.

The Russian population is not even feeling the effects of the sanctions, nor of the global price rises.

The British newspaper The Sun reported that the Russian population is not feeling the effects of the sanctions, but also of the global price rise. What is more, Russian consumers are seeing a drop of more than 10% in food prices compared to the beginning of the year. In contrast to British prices, which have risen by more than ten percent. In terms of energy prices, compared to Britain, where there was an increase of almost eighty per cent, Russia saw an increase of 'only' ten per cent.

According to the paper, after six months, it is the British public, not Russia, that is paying the price of war, contrary to what former Prime Minister Boris Johnson and current Prime Minister Liz Truss promised when they decided to impose sanctions.

Michael Clark, a lecturer at the University of Exeter, said that the Russian economy and population should feel the impact of sanctions next year or the year after, but admitted that this would depend largely on the energy prices expected at that time. The Russian government could use the surplus to subsidise prices. Clark also pointed out that sanctions have always been a tool for long-term political pressure.

Tom Tugendhat, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, said that this is why the West needs to unite more strongly against Russia, which is waging a physical war in Ukraine and an economic war on the energy market.

One of the UK's biggest newspapers also reports that while fuel prices in the UK have risen to a record high of £1.91 per gallon, in Russia consumers can buy fuel for a third of that price, at 63-78 pence. Residents of St Petersburg were also asked about their experience of the war. The answers showed that they have to spend almost ten percent of their income on heating in winter, and that this will not be a big problem for them at all.

The only sector currently feeling the impact of the sanctions is household savings. Eighty per cent of the population have seen a drop in their savings, according to the newspaper. According to Russian reports, the market gap left by the companies that have left has been quickly filled, and by Russian companies.

Germany has ‘crossed red line’ – Russia

There will be no turning back after Berlin supplied arms to kill Russians, Moscow’s envoy says

Germany has crossed a red line with Russia by sending arms to Ukraine, Moscow’s ambassador in Berlin said on Monday. The decision undermined decades of reconciliation since the end of World War II and the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union, the diplomat added.

“The very fact that the Ukrainian regime is being supplied with German-made lethal weapons, which are used not only against Russian military service members, but also the civilian population of Donbass, crosses the red line,” Ambassador Sergey Nechaev said in an interview with Izvestia newspaper.

He added that Berlin should have known better, “considering the moral and historic responsibility that Germany has before our people for the Nazi crimes.”

“They have crossed the Rubicon,” Nechaev stated, using an idiom for passing the point of no return.

Berlin discarded its longstanding policy of not sending weapons into zones of armed conflict to join the US and other NATO allies in providing weapons to Ukraine. The German government says it has a moral responsibility to back Kiev so it can defend itself against Russia.

Germany also joined an effort by the EU to decouple the economies of member states from Russia’s. German businesses have been relying on cheap Russian natural gas for five decades, since before the Soviet Union collapsed.

The German government “has unilaterally acted to destroy bilateral relations [with Russia] that were unique in scale and depth and had been built over decades,” the Russian ambassador noted. “In essence, the post-war reconciliation of our nations and peoples is being eroded,” Nechaev said.

According to the diplomat, economic restrictions imposed on Russia over the Ukraine conflict have resulted in a sharp increase in utility bills, a surge in consumer prices, and a decrease in real incomes in Germany. Nechaev said the “sanctions war” against Moscow is being increasingly seen as “shooting yourself in the foot” in Germany, which has already faced protests over the cost-of-living crisis. The ambassador noted that Russia took no pleasure in seeing the damage, even if Berlin has itself to blame for it.

“We believe the ongoing processes to be Germany’s domestic issue, in which we do not get involved,” he said. “And we certainly are not in the habit of delivering pompous lectures, the likes of which the West constantly makes about Russians.”

Russia sent troops into Ukraine on February 24, citing Kiev’s failure to implement the Minsk agreements, designed to give the regions of Donetsk and Lugansk special status within the Ukrainian state. The protocols, brokered by Germany and France, were first signed in 2014. Former Ukrainian president Pyotr Poroshenko has since admitted that Kiev’s main goal was to use the ceasefire to buy time and “create powerful armed forces.”

In February 2022, the Kremlin recognized the Donbass republics as independent states and demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join any Western military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked.

Hungarian President Katalin Novak has hit out at the EU’s continued sanctions on Russia, pointing out that European countries were ultimately the ones most harmed by the policy. Speaking on Friday during a joint press conference with Serbian counterpart Aleksandar Vucic, Novak said, ‘The implications of anti-Russian sanctions, as we see, are affecting countries across Europe, as prices are rising and inflation is rising. Those who proposed the sanctions expected that they would have an impact on Russia, but this has never happened.’ The president’s remarks come as EU countries are battling ever-growing inflation, price rises and fuel shortages, leading to many considering implementing energy rationing as winter approaches.

Western media continues to ignore Ukraine's public 'kill list' aimed at those who question the Kiev regime

This week, a number of international and Russian journalists convened in Moscow – with more joining by video link – to discuss the now-infamous Ukrainian Mirotvorets "kill list." Many of them are included themselves.

 

While some don't take it seriously, the horrific car-bombing murder of Darya Dugina on August 20 and the subsequent marking on her Mirotvorets entry as “liquidated” makes it fairly clear the people behind the list do, in fact, want people dead. 

 

The same thing happened to the entry of Russian photojournalist 

 and many others listed and subsequently killed, including the Italian Andrea Rocchelli. 

 

  

What it feels like to be on the list?

  

The head of the Foundation to Battle Injustice, Mira Terada, who convened the panel, noted that of the thousands of names entered on the site, 341 are journalists and, shockingly, 327 are minors.

“Publishing personal data on minors is a crime. It’s like a menu for pedophiles or people doing human trafficking.”

 

While her concern is for the children, journalists, activists, political figures and even ordinary Ukrainians who have somehow angered the Kiev regime and those behind the list, Terada now needs to exercise some caution after she herself was added to the database.

 

An hour and a half after a July 21 press conference about children being placed on Mirotvorets, Mira found herself listed. “This changed my life. I have to be vigilant 24/7,” she said.

 

Christelle Néant, a French war correspondent reporting from Donbass for the past six and a half years, mentioned to me before the panel began that some of the information on the site is not disclosed to the general public, and is password-locked. 

 

Néant, who said she’s been receiving death threats for years, spoke of how it impacts her: “Every time I use my car, I check underneath it for any unpleasant surprise,” referring to a potential car bomb. “I don't publish any photos with people I live with or love. I have to be vigilant at all times.”

 

“I'm not a terrorist, not a criminal, I’m just a correspondent. This list must be closed and all of those involved must be held accountable.”

 

German journalist Thomas Röper rightly noted that Western media outlets prefer to look the other way. “They could have reported on this, but they’re saying nothing.”

 

He also pointed out the silence of the German government, even when asked at press conferences.

 

“A state has a duty to protect its citizens, but I haven’t seen anything from my government to condemn the fact that Germans are on this list and one German national has been killed.”

And, in fact, rather than protect German journalists, the government is persecuting them, as is the case with Alina Lipp, whose bank account, and that of her mother, was closed after the German government launched a criminal case against her for her reporting from Donbass.

 

Russian journalist Veronika Naydenova, originally from Crimea but living in Germany, was added to the list in January, also after raising the inclusion of children, including 13-year-old Faina Savenkova, from the Lugansk People’s Republic. 

 

“The same day my article was published, I was added to the list. But this hasn’t stopped me, I’ve written many articles since.”

 

She highlighted an additional, very real, threat: that of the refugees who’ve come to Germany from Ukraine, it isn’t possible to know who is merely a refugee and who holds Ukrainian nationalist extremist views. This is a very real fear for Naydenova, whose address is listed on Mirotvorets.

 

Dutch journalist Sonya van den Ende likewise fears returning home. “I'm labeled an ‘enemy of the state’ now in the Netherlands. I cannot go back, it’s very dangerous for me to do so.”

 

Janus Putkonen, a Finnish journalist who has been living in Donbass since 2015, pointed out how the risk extends globally.

 

“Because the Mirotvorets kill list has not been stopped, people around the world are now in danger of falling victim to the state terrorism of Ukrainian Nazism, comparable to ISIS terrorism.”

 

But, most of all, it threatens Ukrainians within Ukraine, something British journalist Johnny Miller emphasized.

 

“If you're a journalist, blogger, political figure, or a citizen in Ukraine who wants to criticize extremism in Ukraine, which there is a lot of, or if you want to criticize Ukrainian government policies, most likely you're going to be put on that list. And be under serious threat of death.”

Miller, who has reported from areas of western Ukraine, raised another important point:

 

“There are so many people in Ukraine who want to push for peaceful negotiations with Russia. But if anybody in Ukrainian society wants to stand up and push this line, they’re most likely going to be put on that list. Mirotvorets is very much a symbol of the extremist elements in Ukraine at the moment.” 

 

For myself, I’ve been on the list since 2019, after going to Crimea and reporting from areas of the DPR where civilians were being terrorized by Ukrainian shelling, houses destroyed “street by street” as a local told me. 

 

Complicit media

 

For various reasons, I haven’t been in my native Canada since February 2020, and at this point, don’t know what fate I would face were I to go back. 

 

Ottawa unconditionally supports the Kiev regime, including its war against the civilians of Donbass, which the country has abetted by sending money and weapons to Ukraine for years before Russia’s military operation began in February. 

 

Canada has spent nearly a billion dollars to train Ukrainian forces since 2014, including Neo-Nazi Azov fighters.

 

But in addition to that, the Canadian government knows about Mirotvorets. The state-run Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in July ran a smear piece on me, using information apparently gleaned from my Mirotvorets entry, though it doesn’t mention the kill list by name.

 

  

How do I think I know CBC was aware of the kill list entry on me? Their producer emailed me for an interview (which I did not concede to), mentioning my April participation in a Moscow-based panel on Ukraine’s war crimes. Except it wasn’t April, it was on March 11. The only other source for my participation being in April was, you guessed it, Mirotvorets.

 

Of course, there was no condemnation or call to shut down Mirotvorets (which independent Canadian media outlets previously 

 in Donbass as a way to smear me as a Russian propagandist.

 

And now, the CBC has flagged my name to Ukrainian Nationalists in Canada who might otherwise not have known of me, and to Canadians who went to fight in Ukraine, became radicalized and indoctrinated, and could commit Azov-style crimes against journalists like me who have been reporting from the other side.

 

Journalists already have enough reasons to fear being targeted – one example is the August 4 bombing by Kiev’s forces of a Donetsk hotel that multiple journalists, including myself, were in. There is no conclusive proof that the hotel and the journalists were the intended targets, but given everything mentioned above, it’s certainly within the realm of possibility

A terrorist database

 

After the panel, I chatted again with Néant, who said she’d been appealing to international organizations about Mirotvorets for years.

 

“I've written to organizations like the OSCE, Amnesty, etc. None reacted, even when I discovered that children are on this list.” All she got was an automated confirmation of receipt.

 

During a Q&A after the panel, an American man in the audience suggested that Russia should have its own “hit force” going out and doing the same thing to the Ukrainian side.

 

In reply, Johnny Miller noted:

 

“When I tell people here in the UK about this kill list, one of the first things that people reply to me is,

 

‘Well, I’m sure Russia has a similar list.’  And I have to explain to them that, no, Russia does not have a list published on the internet with the names and home addresses of journalists and children and promote their killing. That’s the distinction between a civilized government and extremism and barbarism.”

 

According to Mira Terada, her foundation transferred documents and the evidence it collected to Russia’s Federal Security Service and is asking the service to recognize Mirotvorets as a terrorist organization.

 

Former US Marine and UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter likewise described Mirotvorets as “an instrument of terror” that “should be taken down at the insistence of the US Government.”

 

 

Note the irony: We are listed as terrorists for the work we do to highlight the suffering of civilians under the Kiev regime’s actual terrorism.

Oil prices drop to lowest in seven months

Oil prices have plummeted on Wednesday, with the global benchmark Brent crude dropping below $90 per barrel, while US benchmark WTI is down to around $85 a barrel. The cost of November futures for Brent crude oil have fallen by more than 4% to trade at $89.07 per barrel as of 13:35 GMT, according to data from London’s Intercontinental Exchange. Brent has slid below $90 per barrel for the first time since February 8. October futures on WTI crude are down 2.7% to trade at $84.58 per barrel, the first time it has dipped below $85 per barrel since January 25.

Many analysts believe the drop in oil prices stems from a variety of factors, including the strengthening of the dollar and fears of a US recession, as well as lingering Covid-19 restrictions in China.

Overall, trading has been choppy on Wednesday, with prices initially rising after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the country would not supply energy to nations that impose price restrictions.

However, prices later headed down again.

Last Friday, the finance ministers of the G7 countries agreed to establish a price cap on Russian oil. The group, consisting of the US, UK, Canada, Germany, France, Italy and Japan, has proposed to prohibit insurance and financing of tankers carrying Russian oil at a price higher than the cap. However, some experts have warned that rather than lowering the price of oil, a cap is likely to send global prices higher.

The fall of luciferian-dominated Western Civilization is a highly disruptive but NECESSARY step for human progress: Life, liberty and freedom hang in the balance

Today’s Situation Update podcast (below) reveals a stunning truth: Nearly all the institutions of modern Western Civilization are holding back humanity from progress, truth, liberty and happiness. Almost without exception, every Western institution — government, media, entertainment, sports, education, finance, tech, science, medicine and more — has been overtaken by anti-human, luciferian forces that push policies rooted in pure evil:

• Child grooming, pedophilia and transgenderism maiming
• Satanism and luciferian indoctrination
• Transhumanism
• Anti-human depopulation
• Mass censorship and the suppression of human knowledge and truth (Google, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc.)
• Mass poisoning of humanity through toxic food, toxic medicine and toxic fake news
• Mass obedience and authoritarian control over individuals’ actions
• Mass surveillance / total invasion of privacy and the right to be left alone
• The dismantling of food resources (hunger / starvation / scarcity) that keep human civilization fed
• The dismantling of energy resources that keep human economies functioning
• Engineered bioweapons labeled “vaccines” that are designed to achieve global genocide
• Attacks on family values, White men, straight couples, reason, rationality and normalcy
• Attacks on the biosphere / geoengineering (see my recent bombshell interview with Dane Wigington here)

The White House is now hiring straight-up satanist homosexuals like Demetre Daskalakis, whose photos are featured below. He wears leather S&M bondage gear in the shape of the satanic pentagram star, and he has tattoos depicting luciferian themes.

He is depicted in photos implying he has sex with other homosexuals who self-identify as animals. The White House obviously knew all this before they hired him which means they want you to know you are being ruled by luciferian homosexuals.

Yes, you are being ruled by a homosexual monkeypox ambassador that goes by the name, “Nastypig Hero.”

In case you were looking for a gay sailor hypnosis therapy doctor, he can also do that. Perhaps the CDC is hiring:

That is one sick puppy… almost literally, as some of these homosexual freaks “identify” as animals as part of their sex rituals:

The monkeypox doctor will see you now… no doubt the NIH will provide millions in funding for his “research” into monkeypox transmission vectors:

There are no words for this one. Is it the Gay Green Goblin on a Spiderman bike? Remember, it was Joe Biden’s choice to put this man in the White House administration:

Here’s a photo composition that’s been circulating, showing what in my opinion is a cabal of perverts and freaks that now represent the illegitimate Biden White House, which looks something like “Satan’s Evil Avengers.” (The “admiral” on the left is so mentally ill, he thinks he’s a woman, and currently one-fourth of Democrats actually believe men can get pregnant…)

Is it any surprise that the Biden regime is also pushing child mutilations, pedophilia, sodomy and indoctrination of children in public schools?

You need to understand, what you see here is also present in Canada (Trudeau), the UK, Germany, France, Australia, Ukraine, etc. Nearly all the nations of Western Civilization are run by demonic freaks and perverts who despise humanity and who worship Satan. They are no longer hiding it. The demons have come out for all the world to see.

Do not cry as the demon-infested institutions of Western Civilization collapse into ruin

The more you understand the level of pure satanic evil that has infested the governments and institutions of Western Civilization, the easier it is to realize that their collapse is a necessary step for humanity to ever be free from their reign of evil.

Humanity will never be free (or sane) as long as these freaks, perverts, demons and child-grooming lunatics remain in charge. The coming collapse of Western Europe’s demonic governments (and fake fiat currencies) is actually a blessing for the world. That doesn’t mean there won’t be suffering, because there most certainly will be. But the demise of this luciferian global control cartel is absolutely necessary for the re-founding and rebuilding of human societies rooted in Christian principles, family values and honest money.

There is no reforming this system from within, by the way. It can only be dismantled and replaced. Fortunately for all of us who are pro-human, pro-Christian advocates for life and liberty, the luciferian-dominated Western nations are dismantling themselves with policies of economic suicide.

They are cutting off their own energy supplies, food supplies and infrastructure. They are demanding the end of human civilization via “green” energy policies and LGBT mutilations of children, combined with genocidal bioweapons “vaccines” and the mass poisoning of the world through pesticides, herbicides and chemtrails.

They are so maniacally insane and arrogant, they don’t yet realize they have already set wheels in motion that will destroy the entire West, taking down governments, central banks and institutions that are all rooted in demonism and anti-human agendas. They are going to achieve their own destruction. Meanwhile, those who prepare to survive the implosion will make it through the hell being unleashed on our planet, positioning themselves to help re-found and rebuild human society after the collapse of the current luciferian system.

Only the prepared will survive, while the oblivious degens will be deprecated

“Degens” are degenerates. “Deprecated” means to be removed after being rendered obsolete.

In other words, get ready for the total collapse of Western Civilization on a truly Biblical scale, because that’s exactly where this is headed. And it will be a blessing for humanity to finally see the pillars of satanism and perversion crash and burn, allowing God-honoring champions of life and liberty to structure a whole new civilization rooted in reason and individual freedom.

It’s time to lock up the groomers and child mutilators. Send them to prison for life. Dismantle the systems of tyranny and lawlessness that threaten humanity’s future. Restore the freedom to farm, the freedom to speak and the freedom to dissent. Humanity is on the cusp of both its most devastating — and promising — pivot point in history.

What matters most is how we deal with the crisis that is being engineered: Do we surrender to tyranny, or do we take a stand for the future of human freedom?

The choice is ours. For me, I choose freedom.

Washington’s Tennis Court Rules

Guest Editorial by David Marks

David Marks is a veteran writer and documentary film producer. He was the originator and lead investigator for the BBC/PBS co-production of Nazi Gold – revealing the role of Switzerland in World War II – and one of the most widely viewed documentaries on television. David’s new book, "The Way," is an interpretation of the Chinese classic, the Tao Te Ching, available at LaoTzu-TheWay.org

One of the world’s great tennis players, Novak Djokovic, was prohibited from playing in the paramount U.S. tournament of the year. Although in July he went to London and won the championship at Wimbledon, his unwillingness to be vaccinated precluded his travel to the United States.

As the US Open comes to a conclusion without Djokovic, there is growing understanding of the effects of COVID-19 and its variants, but U.S. government immigration policy has intentionally lagged in light of this knowledge. For over two years, the Center For Disease Control, the Federal Drug Administration and US officials have made highly questionable pronouncements about the ability of COVID-19 vaccines to prevent transmission and illness. This has driven restrictions that have inconvenienced and punished the unvaccinated, without having any impact on the pandemic.

Promoting vaccines has been a central factor in almost all US government decisions since the disease first appeared. And even as their effectiveness in stopping transmission became doubtful, this position has remained entrenched.

Vaccine manufacturer Pfizer originally claimed their product was over 94% effective after a second dose. Along with the assertions of other vaccine developers, even with additional boosters, these findings were steadily proven to be inconsistent at best. An increasing number of so-called breakthrough cases indicated vaccines were not stopping viral infection — the core measure of effectiveness — particularly from the new variants that quickly emerged. Even as the CDC became aware that the virus was not contained by vaccines, the Biden administration elevated its tirade against those who refused vaccination with unprecedented hostility and inflammatory rhetoric within the context of a public health crisis.

The Pandemic of the Unvaccinated is a term that broadcasts a baseless premise. It has stigmatized nearly half of the US population and continues to be used as a tool to promote indiscriminate government policy. Its invocation has only added further division and animosity to what should be a sober, considered debate about possible benefits and risks of vaccination.

Defining Vaccines

Both the White House and CDC knew that the vaccines were not at all meeting promised expectations, but they failed to change policy. It was more convenient to adjust the meaning of the term, and indeed the CDC did just that, altering the definition of vaccines on their website. The original page about Vaccines and Immunizations, said a vaccine is, "A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease." The revised page, as of September 2021, says, “A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.” This not-so-subtle change fit with the embarrassingly poor results, and decreased the apparent hypocrisy in public explanations and denials.

Ongoing scientific research revealed that response to vaccines was not even close to the beneficial results proclaimed by pharmaceutical giants and the White House; and most Americans still don’t know the truth. In October of 2021, a study proved that viral loads were no different in vaccinated or unvaccinated people with COVID-19. This key finding, in accord with other data that proved the vaccines inefficacious, was virtually ignored.

By the end of 2021, the CDC knew the vaccine would also have a minimal capability in stopping infection from the new Omicron variant. However the White House push for inoculation did not stop. At the beginning of 2022, President Biden prefaced his relentless campaign for vaccination by admitting, “If you are vaccinated and boosted, you may get COVID” — but without any scientific basis, continued to blame the unvaccinated for the suffering in the pandemic.

The CDC Seemingly Awakens to Reality

With increasing public pressure and a flurry of pending lawsuits, the CDC’s most recent COVID recommendations no longer differentiate the approach to prevention or treatment based on a person’s vaccination status. The guidance states that current vaccines provide minimal protection against infection and transmission.

Despite the CDC’s admission, the Biden administration has not stopped promoting vaccines as the primary means of diminishing or ending the pandemic. The claim that they could still prevent serious illness and death deflects away from the more important challenge of stopping infection.

Although there is conflicting data on the general efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines regarding serious complications, one detail is indisputable: those with the greatest risk of hospitalization or death from COVID-19, from early on in the pandemic until now, have been patients with other life-threatening conditions or those in high-risk populations for all illness — whether they are vaccinated or not.

As millions of people with multiple vaccinations continue to be infected, the vaccine’s inability to affect transmission has become obvious in public and private spheres. Scientists have shown that the sub-variants of Omicron prove to be highly resistant to vaccines. And even with the recognition that previous inoculation efforts have failed completely, the pharmaceutical industry and the White House are preparing to distribute the next generation of COVID vaccines.

Politics Disguised as Protection

In this bizarre climate where facts don’t matter, the federal government continues to require international travelers without a U.S. passport or permanent residency to have a current COVID vaccine in order to enter the country. Because vaccine effectiveness has not been addressed openly, and reliance on inoculation can still be presented by the government as central to fighting the pandemic, this policy continues.

It is blatantly apparent that conditional entry into the United States has nothing to do with risk of illness to anyone, particularly healthy athletes like Djokovic. Though unvaccinated, Djokovic has had COVID-19, and widely accepted studies indicate that his natural immunity would give him greater and longer resistance than any COVID vaccine, particularly against new variants. There is no scientific basis for claiming he would be creating a unique risk to anyone, including himself.

It is not difficult to see that the regulation that prohibits Djokovic from competing in the U.S. Open is political rather than scientific. This policy ignores all available research and data, including the CDC’s admission about the vaccine’s limitations. So if it is not based on science or health, who does this prohibition benefit or protect?

A reasonable conclusion is that an open admission by the U.S. government that vaccination had no impact on the course of the pandemic — would be politically devastating. This revelation would begin to awaken an entranced public — and increase calls for an inquiry into the continuing motivation for government agencies to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak by narrowly focusing on vaccines as a panacea.

An examination of the decision-making process of the CDC and the FDA would additionally expose the history of the financial influence of pharmaceutical companies on policies that have adversely effected all Americans. This relationship has had a devastating impact on the pandemic; the protocols in responding to a health crisis should have been continually reviewed and revised by an open, independent body.

Any honest evaluation of the response to the pandemic reveals that politicians and bureaucrats continue to play with objective facts. The unvaccinated have remained convenient scapegoats, blamed and punished for no other reason than to cover for the errors and misdeeds of the U.S. government.

Sadly, Djokovic, whose stance is noble, honorable and heroic, is a pawn in this game.

Western Europe now facing “TOTAL FINANCIAL COLLAPSE” – experts and analysts urgently sound the alarm

Western Europe is facing “total collapse” from catastrophic scarcity and price hikes surrounding food, fertilizer, energy and industry, warns David Dubyne, featured in today’s Situation Update podcast (below). Silver guru David Morgan, also featured in today’s podcast, adds that European banks are facing the possibility of systemic failures (and “bail-ins”) due to exposure to energy markets and the desire of Western European governments to keep printing money to try to address the devastating energy scarcity that is now irreversible.

American banks also have exposure to Europe’s economies, which means a failure of Western European banks, governments and currencies will spread like contagion to the United States and the dollar. With no solutions in sight — and no willingness among Europe’s politicians to even consider reversing their suicidal policies that led to this crisis — it seems that Western Europe is doomed to a simultaneous collapse of food, energy, industry, agriculture and currency.

Putin, it seems, won’t need to go to war with NATO after all. NATO countries are destroying themselves with astonishing speed.

The death of the queen marks the death of Western Civilization

Today’s death of Queen Elizabeth II couldn’t be more timely, as the death of Western Europe likely won’t be far behind. The Queen has died, but so has common sense, rationality, financial sanity and agricultural integrity. No civilization can survive without food, energy and money, and the leaders of Western Europe are hell bent on utterly destroying all three.

Now, we are just a few months away from watching in horror as decades of virtue signaling and bad policy decisions comes to fruition, bringing Western Europe to its knees with a level of devastation that hasn’t been witnessed since World War II.

As a measure of just how bad it is, the government of Switzerland is now threatening a three-year prison sentence for anyone who heats their home over 19 degrees Celsius (about 66 degrees F). It is also reported that heating water over 60 (C) will be a criminal offense, and if that also applies to cooking, then no one in Switzerland will be able to boil water without become a criminal.

Apparently, the Swiss government is going to unleash a wave of “temperature police” to burst into people’s homes and measure their indoor temperatures to make sure no one is actually warm. Even if you heat your house with wood, you can still go to prison for producing too much heat.

The fall of Europe will spread to many other nations

Unfortunately, this self-inflicted destruction won’t end with the fall of Western Europe. Unless the trajectory of all this is immediately altered, the catastrophe will spread to all western nations, including the United States, Canada, Australia and Japan, bringing down their industry, real estate values, GDPs and currencies. We are looking at the systemic, unrelenting wipeout of the Euro, the Yen and even the dollar, combined with global de-dollarization efforts already well under way by China, Russia, India and Saudi Arabia.

The era of abundance is over. Prepare for the era of collapse.

The bottom line? Unless a radical course correction is immediately embraced, Western Europe will suffer a catastrophic collapse in 2023, with “collapse” defined as 50% or more of the businesses and industries ceasing operations, causing mass destitution and angry uprisings across the continent, combined with widespread starvation and deaths from exposure (freezing).

The collapse of the United States will take longer to fully play out, but it is also inevitable. The dollar will soon be history, and the financial solvency of the U.S. government will evaporate virtually overnight.

Both the USA and Europe are going to end in mass uprisings, revolts and violent revolutions, it looks like. No wonder the globalists are desperately trying to kill billions with bioweapons vaccines and engineered starvation.

Part of this effort, by the way, is deliberate so that Western nations can “clear their books” of debt by declaring Force Majeure and thereby cancelling all financial obligations, both to Treasury debt holders and entitlement receivers among their own people. Anyone collecting a federal government pension, for example, is going to be left high and dry. Even worse, those left holding currencies like the Euro, the Yen or the Dollar will be lucky to get 5 cents on the dollar once the “great reset” is fully realized.

All those goons who worked for the feds, in other words, are going to be left with nothing. That includes the 87,000 new IRS agents who still think they’re going to terrorize Americans but will soon find themselves dumpster diving for food scraps.

Economics expert Tuomas Melinen warns that European catastrophe may only be “weeks” away before “mayhem” is unleashed

“I am telling you people that the situation in #Europe is much worse than many understand,” tweeted Tuomas Malinen, PhD and CEO of GnS Economics in Helsinki, Finland:

We are essentially on the brink of another banking crisis, a collapse of our industrial base and households, and thus on the brink of the collapse of our economies.

Malinen also writes on Substack.com and has columns published by The Epoch Times.

Malinen goes on to warn people to stock up on food, water, cash and wood, essentially going “full prepper” for anyone who will listen. Sadly, most Europeans and most Americans still won’t listen, and they will be caught completely unprepared as it all hits the fan.

Malinen says Europe has mere “weeks” or months (at most) before “mayhem” strikes.

Hear from two more experts: Morgan and Dubyne, unpacking the truth about money, food and agriculture.

Today’s Situation Update is a two-hour “double David” special featuring David Morgan and David Dubyne, combined with my own analysis, all coalescing into a devastating conclusion for humanity.

In my opinion, this is the most important podcast of the year (so far), and it’s worth a full listen:

Deceiving West and 'detached' elites: Highlights of Putin’s speech at Eastern Economic Forum

The Russian president accused Western leaders of hurting their own people through incompetence

President Vladimir Putin delivered a lengthy speech at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, in Russia’s Far East.

Among other things, he commented on the unfolding crisis in the global economy, which he attributed to the shortsightedness of Western elites. According to Putin, they are trying to cling to global power while it slips from their hands.

Here are some of the key points Putin made in his address.

ELECTRIC CAR SCAM: Europeans could be paying $270 to charge their electric cars by early 2023 as electricity rates explode

Record highs are being set around the globe for the cost of electricity, and countries in Europe are experiencing the worst of it. The entire scam of electric cars is now being realized by the majority of the populace, as they finally realize it costs more to own, maintain and ‘fuel’ an electric car than any standard gasoline-fueled automobile. Don’t believe it?

Right now, in Europe, it costs about $135 to charge a Tesla to full, and that price is on track to DOUBLE by the new year. That means it will cost $270 to fully charge the average electric vehicle (EV) in Germany and France. Currently, one euro is equal to one US dollar. That’s just the beginning of insane costs incurred to support the EV nightmare. Let’s do the math.

Electric vehicles cost SIX TIMES more to own and maintain than gas-powered vehicles, and still rely on fossil fuels to get charged up

The electricity that charges and fuels battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles comes from power grids, which mostly rely on fossil fuels. Oops. So much for all that bragging about that smaller carbon footprint. The price of an average electric car is a whopping $66,000 in the USA right now, and that price is increasing at over 13 percent every year. The monthly payment on that electric car will run you upwards of $1250. Expect Bidenflation to drive that price upwards significantly, and soon.

The typical 40kWh battery pack needed to charge most mainstream electric vehicles, when fully charged, lasts for about 150 miles. By the way, it takes around 8 hours to charge from empty-to-full with a 7kW charging point. What a nightmare. Now, the average person drives about 15,000 miles per year. That means they spend about $42,000 per year to charge an electric car to go the same number of miles a gas powered car would go. So charge that car all year for $270 to go 150 miles each time, and that’s 100 charges at $270 totaling $27,000 per year.

Add the monthly payment of $1250 for 12 months to that ($15,000)  and now you’ve spent $42,000 in one year to own and “fuel” that electric car next year. We still haven’t even calculated any maintenance plan or repairs, and guess what? A new electric car battery, should that battery die, on average right now costs about $14,000. So now you’re at $56,000, and you’re just one year in.

Meanwhile, the average gas-powered car gets around 30 miles (on the highway) to the gallon, and the average tank holds about 15 gallons, and the average price of gas in America is hovering around $4 per gallon. That’s expected to increase also. Let’s do the math on all of that and compare costs.

A full tank of gas costs $60, multiply that by 30 miles to the gallon, and you can travel 450 miles for $60. The average price of a decent new gas-powered automobile is around $45,000 now. Though that price is exorbitant, the monthly (lease) payment runs about $450. Add that up for a year ($5400) with a full tank of gas every week for a year ($3120), and you’ve spent about $8500.

The global warming scam governs the electric vehicle scam, while the Biden Regime cripples all resources for gas, diesel, electricity power

The renewable energy scam is well underway, and it will cost everyone a fortune they can’t afford, while crippling the nation under the guise of “saving the planet” from global warming, or climate change, or Al Gore, or something like that.

Welcome to the EV nightmare. Bottom line is that it costs 6 times more to own and run an electric car, so you’ll have to get a second and third job to cover those expenses, while driving MORE, using fossil fuels to charge your planet-saving vehicle, and going broke while starving to death all the while. Sounds like a grand plan from a communist regime running the republic we used to know. Don’t let the “Green New Deal” wreck our entire country forever. Stay smart. Stay frosty.

CLOT PROFITS: Medicare spent over $15 billion on blood thinners last year, after covid jabs grew CLOTS

How many millions of Americans will be prescribed blood thinners for the damage the COVID-19 clot shots are doing to their vascular system right now? Yet, those blood thinners won’t even work for the bizarre, rubbery, nano-tech clots formed in the bodies of the injected, because they are not the same as normal blood clots. Do the doctors at all the hospitals already know this? Will the “blood” thinners work at all for those crystalline structures and nano-wires that are accumulating heavy metals in the blood of the jabbed?

Big pharma cashing in on vaccine-induced clots causing huge boom for the sale of blood thinners

Yes, Big Pharma is cashing in on the COVID-19 “clot shots” by prescribing (and jacking up the price) of blood thinners for Americans who have no clue what’s happening to their bodies or why. Pharma is “treating” the clots, even though these kinds of clots can’t be thinned out or dissolved by rat poison (prescription Eliquis and Xarelto).

Since the fake election of Resident Biden, ZERO has been accomplished to address the skyrocketing prices of block buster drugs, including blood thinners. Every year, about 30 million prescriptions for blood thinners are filled by pharmacists in America, with about half of those written for the ultra-expensive brand-name ones.

One in every 10 Americans older than 75 years is taking some daily. Expect that number to skyrocket now that the clot shots are taking effect, and the nano-clots are accumulating heavy metals inside the blood and growing. Expect the booster shots for COVID-19 to add millions of toxic spike “protein” prions to the vascular system of 270 million Americans of all ages, adding to the chaos of blood clots and the prescribing of rat poison (blood thinners) that won’t even help. In other words, look for many more people below age 75 to be prescribed blood thinners now, since three-fourths of all Americans have been injected with Fauci Flu nano-tech jabs.

Blood thinners Eliquis and Xarelto have already bankrolled nearly $50 billion since 2015, now they cost over $500 per month

The price of brand name blood thinners has somehow outpaced Biden-flation, and there’s no stopping it now. Every year the cost goes up significantly. These cost TEN TIMES the amount of Warfarin, a now-generic version of the same. They all cause horrific side effects, risking death by internal bleeding should the victim (prescribed patient) slip, or trip, or fall down and bang their head or hip on a hard floor or bath tub, for example.

America pays FIVE TIMES MORE for these costly drugs than other countries, and blood thinners won’t even work to prevent or dissolve COVID-19 vaccine-induced clots. What a shame and a huge, illegal scam. Eloquis is the 4th top-selling drug in the world, since 2020. Imagine that. Plus, it’s the costliest drug for ALL of Medicare. Coincidence? We think not. Every year, about 35,000 adverse event reports are filed for anticoagulants taken orally, including 3,000 deaths, plus thousands of cases of internal bleeding and hemorrhaging, usually in the head.

Xarelto is the world’s 10th top-selling drug and the 3rd most costly for Medicare, prescribed to over a million patients. Got atrial fibrillation, irregular heart beats or rhythm disorder, or maybe myocarditis or pericarditis? That’s most likely from the Fauci Flu clot shots. Expect doctors across America to prescribe these pharma-lucrative pills that won’t help at all.

One congresswoman is on the record, stating, “The prices for these two competing products have risen every year since they entered the market at a rate far outpacing inflation, without any meaningful improvements to the medications or any apparent increase in production costs.”
