I stand by my long-time dictum that “The US is not a democracy and it doesn’t matter who is president.” The US is decrepitating at a perfectly acceptable rate (for the global majority that is sick and tired of its “hegemony”). Great hegemonic nations need two ingredients to stay hegemonic: economic supremacy and military supremacy.

In case of the US, everyone was forced to use the US dollar in trade, especially oil trade, from which the US was able to profit handsomely just by printing money, or they’d get Saddamed or Khaddafied to death. What it really boiled down to is “Pay us or we’ll kill you.” So, how is that supremacy doing now?

Let’s look at the economic power first. If you look (very briefly) at the US federal budget, you will find that fully a third of it is borrowed into existence and when I checked a few months ago the US was forced to keep borrowing a trillion dollars every three months; that sort of thing doesn’t tend to go on for long.

Meanwhile, a BRICS meeting in Kazan this October is expected to produce a plan for a US dollar replacement for international trade and in preparation for that event gold hit $2550/oz for the first time ever and international investors are starting to unload US Treasuries and are balking at buying any more of them. So far, 49 countries have filed the paperwork to join BRICS; you see, very few countries can afford to be left out of international trade once the USD goes buh-bye.

If you take away from the US Treasury Dept. the ability to borrow, there will only be enough money left for social spending — nothing else — but cutting out everything else will cause the tax base to shrivel to a point that it won’t be able to support social spending either. What will that do for the societal well-being of a country whose culture takes very few things completely seriously — certainly not justice or integrity or virtue or truth — but money is definitely one of them? So much for economic supremacy.

Now let’s look at military power. The US (and a really pathetic handful of allies) tried to stage some sort of “Operation Provide Blah-blah-blah” trying to wrest control of the Red Sea and, consequently, the Suez Canal, from the Ansar Allah, a.k.a. the Houthi Movement, named after the venerable Abdul-Malik Badruldeen al-Houthi. As it stands, only Chinese and Russian ships can sail unmolested past the Gate of Lamentation (a.k.a. Bab el Mandeb) at the entrance to the Red Sea. Other navigation choices include rounding the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa or braving Russia’s Northern Sea Route; one is expensive, the other politically unpalatable. The result of this mission (of which little is now heard) is a hole in the flight deck of a certain US aircraft carrier caused by a Houthi rocket, after which event (of which nothing was said) said carrier limped home to Norfolk.

More recently, when Iran promised retaliation for Israel’s assassination of HAMAS political leader and Palestinian billionaire Ismail Haniyeh while he was on a visit to Teheran, a high-level US delegation flew to Teheran and very quietly begged the Iranians not to attack Israel (again) because, as the previous Iranian rocket and drone attack on Israel demonstrated, Israel can’t defend itself and the US can’t defend it either. Nevertheless, the US did send an aircraft carrier to the region (one of the remaining few that are still serviceable) — to do what exactly? To fly effective aircraft sorties to shore without mid-air refueling, maximum distance from shore has to be under 300 nautical miles; the reach of hypersonic rockets, which everyone except the US and its allies now seems to have and which the US hasn’t learned to intercept, is farther than that. A single hit on a US aircraft carrier is worth a thousand aircraft sorties. So much for military supremacy.

When a certain political scheme no longer works — and US supremacy, while it lasted, was indeed a political scheme — thieves rush in and loot whatever is left. This is to be expected and this is what happened: thief Biden and thief Zelensky, thick as thieves, held a tag team event to loot both the US and the EU, filtering well over a hundred billion through the corrupt wreck of a nation that was the former Ukraine. Everything was going fine with Biden playing the part of an aged and wise “capo” of a mafia clan while his evil minions saw to the actual looting of the treasury.

But there surfaced a tiny problem: Biden became so senile that he no longer understood that he is senile and this became painfully obvious to everyone who saw him debate Trump. Something had to be done and three other mafiosi — Pelosi, Schumer and Obama — conspired to replace Biden. But with whom? The three mafiosi wanted to compile a short list of candidates and then hold a mock election at the Democratic convention to “choose” a predetermined winner.

Biden managed to thwart their plan by… endorsing Kamala Harris, a diversity hire (sort of black and probably a woman, although childless and who can tell what’s what with American “women” these days) who is either mentally retarded or permanently drunk or both. Poor Kamala seems to have three modes: drunk and happy in the morning (cackle-cackle-cackle), drunk at work during the day and trying to act sober but making no sense, and drunk and testy and ready to pass out in the evening. If that describes your girlfriend, then congratulations — you are a loser!

Pelosi, Schumer and Obama — the trio of mafiosi — struggled with this choice for as long as they could but in the end had to give Kamala’s candidacy their grudging consent. Kamala is definitely nobody’s choice but Biden’s… and Putin’s. You didn’t expect that, now, did you? Cheers!

Independent Journalist Richard Medhurst was arrested in the UK on Thursday under the UK’s Terrorism Act 2000, according to a video he posted Monday on X recounting the experience.

“On Thursday, as I landed in London’s Heathrow airport, I was immediately escorted off the plane by six police officers who were waiting for me at the entrance of the aircraft. They arrested me – not detained – they arrested me under Section 12 of the Terrorism Act of 2000 and accused me of allegedly ‘expressing an opinion or belief that is supportive of a proscribed organization’ but wouldn’t explain what this meant,” Medhurst says in the video.

Section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000 has a clause that was added in 2019 that made it illegal to “expresses an opinion or belief that is supportive of a proscribed organization” if “in doing so is reckless as to whether a person to whom the expression is directed will be encouraged to support a proscribed organization.”

Medhurst’s reporting has focused heavily on the Israeli-Gaza war and has spoken out against funding Ukraine. He also posted about the very act that he was arrested for.

“The fascist ‘terrorism act’ being used to hold activists without charge or trial because they tried to stop actual terrorism and genocide by the IDF,” Medhurst posted the same day he was arrested. Medhurst was referring to Palestinian activists who have been detained recently under the Terrorism Act.

Medhurst says he was then handcuffed and transferred to a police station where he was searched and his electronic devices seized.

“I was placed in solitary confinement, in a cold cell that smelled like urine. There was barely any light and the bed, if you can even call it a bed, was simply a small concrete ledge with a paper-thin mattress. The cell had no windows, no heating, no toilet paper. I was recorded 24/7 with audio and video, even when going to the toilet. I had to eat food with a piece of cardboard you’re supposed to fold in two in order to scoop up the meal,” Medhurst said, describing the conditions he was held in.

He was then held for nearly 24 hours without being allowed to contact his family and his attempts to speak to a solicitor (UK legal advisor) were hindered and possibly monitored.

“The police said that I have the right to inform someone that I’m locked up. So I said okay, I want to call my family, then they go ‘Well, your calls are withheld due to the nature of the alleged offense’ I tried to ask well, what’s the point of a right if you can just randomly withdraw it? Why tell me that I have this right at all? And one of them said something along the lines of ‘Well, it’s not an absolute right, it can be waived,’” Medhurst described.

“For many hours, no one in the world knew what had happened to me or where I was. Only the police could call a solicitor for me. I had to ask four or five different guards for several hours before I finally received a call. Some of my solicitor’s calls did not get through or were not answered. One of the calls -my solicitor was told- would be monitored, and so they simply refused to take it. I asked to speak to the solicitor afterwards when that happened but I was not allowed to.”

“In total, I spent almost 24 hours in detention. At no point whatsoever was I allowed to speak to a family member or friend. After waiting 15 hours, I was finally interviewed by two detectives,” Medhurst says the interview lasted 60 to 90 minutes.

Medhurst emphasized that he denies all accusations by the police, noting that his parents held Nobel Peace Prizes for their work as UN peacekeepers and he “categorically and unequivocally” condemns terrorism.

“Those like myself, who are speaking up and reporting on the situation in Palestine are being targeted. I had booked my ticket to London on the same day and yet an entire team of police were mobilized to arrest and question me. This is why I felt this was a preplanned, coordinated arrest. Many people have been detained in Great Britain because of their journalism, sometimes under the Terrorism Act, sometimes not. I think of Julian Assange, Craig Murray, Kit Klarenberg, David Miranda, Vanessa Beeley. As far as I am aware, I am the only journalist, however, to have been arrested and held for up to 24 hours under section 12 of the Terrorism Act.”

Medhurst said that he now feels he has a “muzzle” put on him, and does not know if he will be charged with the crime he was arrested for or if he will be put in jail in a few months, something that makes his work more difficult. “I simply do not know if or how I can work at all during the next month.

Former UN weapons inspector and geopolitical analyst Scott Ritter, whose house was raided by the United States FBI earlier this month for alleged violations of the Foreign Agents Registry Act, called the arrest “political persecution” designed to “hamper [Medhurst’s] important work as a journalist.”

“Freedom of the press, freedom of speech really are under attack. The state is cracking down and escalating to try and stop people from speaking out against our government’s complicity in genocide, please do not just stand with me, but with the others who are still inside,” Medhurst concluded.

UK authorities have not commented on Medhurst’s arrest. His website currently displays an error page but it is not clear if Medhurst removed it voluntarily, at the direction of UK authorities, or if the site was taken down by service providers. Sputnik has reached out to Medhurst for clarification and will update this space if he replies.

In a recent Fraser Institute report, author and economist Ross McKitrick references a Bjorn Lomborg analysis of US greenhouse gas reduction targets and their likely impact on reducing global warming: “According to Lomborg (2016) the US climate target under the Paris Treaty … [if met]…global average temperatures as of 2100 would be reduced by 0.031° C compared to if the US did nothing. Prorating this by the size of Canada’s proposed emission reduction we find the global average temperature would be reduced by 0.007° C (seven thousandths of a degree Celsius) as of 2100 compared to the case if Canada does nothing”

The UN “People’s Climate Vote 2024” survey from June of 73,000 people in 77 countries claims that “80 per cent – or four out of five – people globally want their governments to take stronger action to tackle the climate crisis.”

Friends of Science Society notes that the UN survey questions on pages 19 and 20, conflate extreme weather with climate and only ask for emotional responses, rather than evaluating empirical evidence. Climate change is measured over 30, 50, 100-year and millennial cycles; it is not evidenced by a spate of extreme weather events.

In Canada, the Globe and Mail published an op-ed by pollster Nik Nanos on Aug. 10, 2024, which showed a waning public interest in the Net Zero transition. “As more and more Canadians feel crushed by the rising cost of things such as housing, groceries and energy, interest in greening their lives is weakening…. the percentage of Canadians who are confident that we will reach our net-zero goal is a paltry 2 per cent.”

Robert Lyman, retired energy economist, wrote a report on the costs of Canada’s climate policies and cited a survey published in Nature, February 2024, found that people would be willing to spend less than 1% of their income to support climate initiatives. One per cent of average Canadian income for climate change would be $431. Canadian climate measures from 2020-2030 are ~$476 billion, or $11,900 per resident of Canada; roughly $2,800 per household per year.

Friends of Science Society points out that survey questions should include “How much are you willing to pay for or sacrifice for climate action?” Friends of Science review of “Getting to Net Zero” forecasts decades of degrowth and poverty.

While most citizens in the NATO countries assume that NATO is most concerned with wartime defense of their nations, the 2024 “NATO Climate Change and Security Impact Assessment” seems obsessed with climate change. On page 27, they dedicate a section to “Energy Transition and Climate-related Disinformation,” claiming that Kremlin-backed actors push climate change denialism. In fact, in Germany, it was Kremlin-backed green activists who encouraged Germany’s heavy reliance on Russian oil and gas and the closure of reliable nuclear facilities, as Drieu Godefridi, author of “The Green Reich” reported in 2022.

Russia’s position on climate change seems unchanged since its 2004 position on Kyoto, forerunner to the Paris Agreement.

Russian climate models, which use a small warming factor for carbon dioxide concentration, consistently closely parallel observed temperatures, compared to Western climate models which use a higher warming response rate for carbon dioxide, and which project a ‘hothouse’ future.

In addition to the almost daily news of children being murdered in Gaza, such as an entire family, including six children, who were killed in Gaza over the weekend, this past week scary headlines appeared in both the corporate media as well as in the alternative media stating that there was a new outbreak of the polio virus among children in Gaza, after polio had been eradicated there for 25 years.

Here is an example with an article written by Common Dreams and published on ZeroHedge News yesterday (Source.)

[…]

When we view scary “news” stories like this that call for mass-vaccination campaigns among children, the first thing to do is examine the actual facts that are being reported over this “outbreak.”

So I went to the source of this reporting, which is the UN, and specifically UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund), the largest purchaser and distributor of vaccines for children worldwide.

Here is what they reported in their August 16th publication that everyone is now using as their source to produce these frightening headlines:

Humanitarian pauses vital for critical polio vaccination campaign in the Gaza Strip

JERUSALEM/CAIRO/AMMAN, 16 August 2024 – Two rounds of a polio vaccination campaign are expected to be launched at the end of August and September 2024 across the Gaza Strip to prevent the spread of circulating variant type 2 poliovirus (cVDPV2).

WHO and UNICEF request all parties to the conflict to implement humanitarian pauses in the Gaza Strip for seven days to allow for two rounds of vaccination campaigns to take place. These pauses in fighting would allow children and families to safely reach health facilities and community outreach workers to get to children who cannot access health facilities for polio vaccination. Without the humanitarian pauses, the delivery of the campaign will not be possible.

During each round of the campaign, the Palestinian Ministry of Health (MoH), in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) and partners, will provide two drops of novel oral polio vaccine type 2 (nOPV2) to more than 640 000 children under ten years of age.

The poliovirus was detected in July 2024 in environmental samples from Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah. Worryingly, three children presenting with suspected acute flaccid paralysis (AFP), a common symptom of polio, have since been reported in the Gaza Strip. Their stool samples have been sent for testing to the Jordan National Polio Laboratory.

Over 1.6 million doses of nOPV2, which is used to stop cVDPV2 transmission, will be delivered to the Gaza Strip.

This followed a report published by the UN last month (July, 2024), which stated that the “virus” had been identified (using the infamous PCR test protocol) in 6 locations, NOT people, by testing sewage samples.

Polio stalks Gazans as ‘anarchy’ spreads, humanitarians warn

To add to the devastation of war and the complete breakdown of law and order, Gazans now have to contend with the threat of highly infectious polio disease linked to the disastrous sanitation situation created by the conflict, the UN health agency said on Friday.

In a statement, Christian Lindmeier, spokesperson for the World Health Organization (WHO), said that vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (VDPV2) had been identified at six locations in sewage samples collected on 23 June from Khan Younis and Deir al Balah.

To date, no one has been treated in Gaza for paralysis or other symptoms caused by polio virus infection.

“It is important to note the virus has been isolated from the environment only at this time; no associated paralytic cases have been detected,” he told journalists in Geneva. As part of the response efforts, WHO in the Occupied Palestinian Territory is already working with the local health authority, the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the UN agency for Palestine refugees (UNRWA) and partners to assess how far poliovirus has spread.

This work will determine the measures needed to stop any further spread, “including prompt vaccination campaigns”, the WHO spokesperson explained. (Source.)

We can now summarize the facts from these two official news reports from the UN.

In July, a total of 6 cases of a positive polio PCR test result were found in sewage samples (fecal matter) at 6 locations. It was admitted that these cases were “vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2″.

This was the beginning of the “polio outbreak” that is now being reported, even though at the time these tests were conducted, there was not a single person being treated for polio, nor anyone showing any symptoms of polio.

Nevertheless, it was declared an “outbreak” and plans were immediately put into effect to produce hundreds of thousands of doses of the oral polio vaccines.

One month later, in August, “three children presenting with suspected acute flaccid paralysis (AFP), a common symptom of polio” was reported.

That’s it, 3 children, who did not even have a positive polio PCR test diagnosis, but only “symptoms” of polio, was all that was needed to determine that this was a deadly “outbreak” of polio and kick into gear the production of 1.6 million doses of the oral polio vaccine to give to children in Gaza.

What the Media is NOT Reporting about this Polio “Outbreak”

Sadly, I have seen this story before, many times, wherever disaster strikes and it is announced that “polio is back” after many years of having no “cases” of polio.

What the media fails to report, however, is that these “cases” of polio came from the oral polio vaccines themselves!

The last time I reported on this UN method of mass polio vaccination of children during times of crisis, was at the beginning of last year (2023), just after the massive earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria. See:
UNICEF’s History of Using Disasters to Vaccinate Children with the Oral Polio Vaccine that Spreads Polio

Even 10 years before that, back in 2013, I exposed the UN polio vaccine campaign agenda when polio allegedly broke out in the Syrian refugee camps due to the war in Syria. See:

Are UNICEF Live Polio Vaccines Causing Polio Among Syrians? 1.7 Billion Polio Vaccines Purchased by UNICEF

As I reported then, as well as multiple other times, in ALL of these cases the new “outbreak” of polio is caused by the oral polio vaccine itself.

Here are some more articles I have published about this vaccine scam over the years:
Polio Making a Comeback Due to Oral Polio Vaccine

The Vaccine Myth of “Polio-free” Status – Polio Vaccine Caused 53,000 Paralysis Victims in India Last Year

Polio Vaccine Causing Polio Outbreaks in Africa, WHO Admits

No Polio in the Philippines Since 1993, But Mass Polio Vaccination Program Targeted for 500,000 Typhoon Victims Under Age 5

The oral polio vaccine is notorious for “shedding” the so-called “live virus”, and its use has been banned in wealthier countries, such as the U.S. and Israel, because it was widely known that this oral polio vaccine actually causes polio.

Even the corporate media has admitted this, since 2019.
Big Pharma and Corporate Media Finally Admit the Oral Polio Vaccine is a Failure – Causes Polio Instead of Preventing It

In the recent press release by UNICEF about this “outbreak” of polio in Gaza, they stated that prior to 2022 Palestinians were receiving the “inactivated polio vaccine”, the same polio vaccines used in the U.S. and Israel.

The Gaza Strip had a high level of vaccination coverage across the population before the escalation of hostilities in October 2023. However, due to the impact of the conflict, routine immunization coverage (for the second dose of inactivated polio vaccine) dropped from 99 per cent in 2022 to less than 90 per cent in the first quarter of 2024, increasing the risk of vaccine-preventable diseases to children, including polio.  (Source.)

Since the current war in Gaza started in October of 2023, I suspected that UNICEF had already distributed some of the oral polio vaccines, which cause polio.

So I did some searching, and it did not take long to find out my suspicions were true, because as I wrote above, I have seen this script performed many times over the past decade.

In a June 13, 2024 UNICEF report that covered a reporting period between May 16th through May 29th this year (2024), 10,000 does of the oral polio vaccine were administered in Gaza.

During the reporting period, UNICEF also managed to conduct a mission to the North Gaza governorate in order to deliver  vaccines including 10,000 oral Polio vaccines, 5,000 Rotavirus vaccine drops, 6,000 Measles, Mumps, and Rubella vaccines,  as well as Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis vaccines. (Source.)

Bingo! Now we know the source of the current “outbreak” of polio in Gaza, which so far has not even officially been found in a single child, but nonetheless is being used as an excuse to vaccinate every single child still living in Gaza, 630,000, with the deadly oral polio vaccine.

Shame on those of you in the Alternative Media for not reporting all the facts on this “outbreak” of polio! It is time for people to wake up and realize that ALL vaccines are a scam, and not just the COVID-19 ones.

Please do your research and learn how the polio vaccines have ALL been scams to scare the public into mass vaccination campaigns, starting in the 1960s.

I’ll give you some help by pointing to a summary article on this issue that I published back in 2022:
The Polio Scam Makes a Comeback to Scare More Parents into Vaccinating Their Children – Vaccines NEVER Eradicated Polio: Vaccines CAUSE Polio

And in case you are wondering how serious polio is worldwide, here are the official stats from WHO in this graph:

Is the “New” Oral Polio Vaccine Better than the “Old” One?

Because it was widely known that the oral polio vaccine was dangerous, and the cause of almost all “polio outbreaks” around the world, a new oral polio vaccine was developed, called the “novel oral polio vaccine type 2 (nOPV2)”, which is the “updated” OPV being ordered to distribute in Gaza now.

The first thing that one needs to know about this “novel” new oral polio vaccine, is that it was given “Emergency Use” authorization in November of 2020, during the height of the COVID Scam.

On 13 November 2020, type 2 novel oral polio vaccine (nOPV2) became the first vaccine to be authorized for use under the WHO Emergency Use Listing (EUL) mechanism.

The use of nOPV2 is restricted to outbreak response for type 2 circulating vaccine-derived polioviruses (cVDPV2). SAGE recommended that an independent nOPV2 safety monitoring group be established (the GACVS subcommittee on nOPV2) and that the GACVS should advise on nOPV2 safety monitoring during the entire period of the EUL. (Source: WHO)

A study published in 2022 that was conducted in Panama, showed that this “new” oral polio vaccine also sheds, just like the older one did.

Fecal Shedding of 2 Novel Live Attenuated Oral Poliovirus Type 2 Vaccine Candidates by Healthy Infants Administered Bivalent Oral Poliovirus Vaccine/Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine: 2 Randomized Clinical Trials

Since this “new” oral polio vaccine is NOT used in the U.S., there is not much recorded on it in the U.S. CDC and FDA database of vaccine adverse events (VAERS).

So I did a search for “oral polio vaccine” in VAERS after January 1, 2021, as almost all of those cases should be the new OPV vaccine.

As is to be expected, since the vaccine is not distributed in the U.S., there are only 40 cases from the beginning of 2021 through today, all foreign cases reported.

However, of those 40 cases recorded in VAERS, 10 of those cases of oral polio vaccine side effects resulted in DEATH (25%), with 30 hospitalizations. (Source.)

And 65% of those cases were infants below the age of 6 months. (Source.)

The deaths of these babies are recorded as “sudden infant death syndrome” (SIDS), because according to the CDC all vaccines are safe and effective, and never cause any deaths.

So this is what awaits the remaining children in Gaza, as the genocide and infanticide of the Palestinian people continue.

Episode 16 The Mongols in Persia and the Middle East

The Mongol Empire

Dr Craig Benjamin (2020)

Film Review

Most of our information about the Ilkhanate comes from Rashid Al-Din, a high level physician and Persian administrator who wrote A Compendium of Chronicles in 1308. He was executed in 1318 for poisoning Arghun Khan with mercury/sulfur laxatives he prescribed for him (see below).

Hulagu – Chinggis Khan’s grandson and founder of the Ilkhanate dynasty, eventually rebuilt Baghdad, which he had  sacked in 1258. He established Tabriz as the capitol, appointing Persian administrators to run the khanate and creating a special intellectual quarter that welcomed historians, philosophers and scientists from around the known world (just as Baghdad had done under Muslim rule). Marrying a Nestorian Christian, he protected all religions and had a special interest in astronomy and alchemy (the transmutation of metal). His reign was marked by a 1262 war with the Golden Horde over their claim to Azerbaijan.

Abaga – Hulagu’s son, who succeed him in 1265. His reign was marked by continuing wars with the Golden Horde and new conflicts with Egypt’s Mamaluk empire He attempted to forge an alliance with the pope against the Mamaluks and engaged in cultural exchanges with the Yuan dynasty. He died in 1282 of alcoholism.

Teguder – the seventh son of Hulagu, he angered his Mongol subjects when he converted from Christianity to Islam and assumed the name Ahmad. His nephew Arghun led a successful revolt 1284 in which he captured and executed Teguder.

Arghun – focusing more on administration than war, he resisted forming a Muslim state. Personally repelling a Golden Horde invasion, he died in 1291 of mercury and sulfur poisoning from remedies his physicians had given him.

Gaykhatu – Arghun’s brother, he formed a strong alliance with the Yuan dynasty, arranging for Marco Polo to escort a Yuan dynasty princess to marry one of his sons. His attempt to Imitate the Yuan dynasty by introducing paper money led to economic disaster. Instigating a 1295 rebellion, his cousin Baydu executed and replaced him.

Gazan – Arghun’s son, he deposed Baydu the same year. A Muslim convert, he persuaded all Baydu’s Muslim troops to defect. An exceptional military commander and administrator, transformed the Ilkhanate to an Islamic empire. Although initially banning all other religions, he eventually allowed Georgians and Armenians to build their own religious institutions, cracked on pograms against Jews, revoked the tax on non-Muslims and allowed Nestorian Christians to build churches. In 1299 he launched a war against the Mamaluk empire, capturing Homs and Damascus. He also improved food production by supporting small farmers in putting neglected land into cultivation,* revitalizing the empire’s communication network, standardizing weights and measures, introducing silver coins. reforming the judiciary and reforming the army by offering land grants to soldiers.

Oljeitu – Gazan’s brother, succeeding him in 1304 and moving the capitol from Tabriz to Sultaniyya. After being baptized a Christian, he converted first to Buddhism, then to Suni Islam, the back to Buddhism. He had Rashid Al Din (who was Jewish) executed in 1318, accusing him of murdering Arghun with his potions. He negotiated a peace treaty with the Mamaluk empire.

Abu Sahid – last Ilkhanate khan, succeeding  Oljeitu in 1318. His throne was claimed by eight regional princes following his death in 1335.

The Ilkhanate would dissolve in 1345.

*And protecting them from the common Mongol practice of pillaging private landholdings.

Ethan Huff

The other day, we reported that eight of the 62 (not 68 as was originally reported) people who died in the recent ATR 72 turboprop plane crash in Sao Paulo, Brazil, were doctors headed to an important oncology conference. It has since come out that six of these eight were also scientists who planned to expose mRNA (modRNA) “vaccines” as a cause of turbo cancer.The following six scientists were planning to do a really good thing before someone sabotaged the plane they were traveling on to ensure their message was never sent or received:

1) Dr. José Roberto Leonel Ferreira, a senior radiologist who had a significant impact in the field of radiology, particularly in pediatric radiology

2) Dr. Mariana Belim, an intensivist in the Adult ICU at the Western Paraná University Hospital (Huop)

3) Dr. Ariane Risso, also from the Uopeccan Cancer Hospital in Cascavel

4) Edilson Hobold, a professor of physical education

5) Deonir Secco, a professor of agricultural engineering

6) Raquel Ribeiro Moreira, a literature professor at the Cascavel campus

All six of these individuals were highly respected professionals in their respective fields. The purpose of their travel was to share their expertise in front of a large audience, which apparently had to be stopped to keep a lid on the truth.

The other two medical professionals who perished were resident medics, reports indicate.

Assassinating the truth

Had the plane been allowed to land safety rather than mysteriously crash in a residential neighborhood not far from the event, it would have exposed to the entire world the ugly truth about mRNA and what it does to the human body.

The corporate media initially reported on the crash as a mere event, failing to explain who was aboard the plane. It took the independent media to dig a little bit deeper and discover that this was apparently an assassination effort aimed at some of the world’s best minds.

The 2nd Smartest Guy in the World Substack shared what is known as the “new and improved synergistic Joe Tippens protocol” which may help those suffering from mRNA-induced turbo cancer to overcome their illness. The protocol is as follows:

– 400-800 milligrams of tocotrienol and tocopherol (all eight forms of vitamin E) every day, i.e., Gamma E by Life Extension of Perfect E

– 600 mg per day of bioavailable curcumin, i.e., Theracurmin HP by Integrative Therapeutics

– 62.5 micrograms (2,500 IU) of vitamin D every day

– 1-2 droppers full (roughly 167-334 mg) daily of CBD-X, the most potent form of full-spectrum cannabidiol oil containing 5,000 mg of activated cannabinoids and hemp compounds, i.e., CBD, CBN, and CBG

– 300 mg of fenbendazole six days a week, or up to one gram daily in the case of severe turbo cancers

– 24mg daily of ivermectin, or up to one gram daily for severe turbo cancers

– Two capsules of VIR-X immune support daily

This protocol is said to work exceptionally well for turbo cancers, and there are links at 2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com for purchasing these recommended products.

“The loss of these doctors is a significant setback to the medical freedom movement in Brazil,” commented Dr. Chris Flowers, MD. “Pray for their families, and keep fighting. Several of us testify in National and international hearings on COVID and turbo cancers and will miss their input.”

Hans Vogel claims that recent revelations by a former German spy chief about the Nord Stream 2 sabotage signal the impending downfall of Ukrainian President Zelensky and Polish President Andrzej Duda, as the narrative surrounding the Ukraine conflict unravels.

Just a few days ago, a former German spy chief stated that the sabotage of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline was planned and ordered by Ukrainian satrap Zelensky and Polish President Andrzej Duda.

Now that the elaborate US narrative on the war in the Ukraine is beginning to come apart at the seams, now that the ultimate defeat of the Ukraine puppet government is becoming ever more apparent, the hour is approaching to throw Zelensky, that talented little piano player in his green T-shirt, under the bus.

With some two thousand Ukrainian soldiers being sacrificed on a daily basis on the altar of the Wall Street Money Gods, the Ukraine will soon have to perish. Now that the Kursk operation, planned on the Potomac and carried out by Western mercenaries, has failed, now that the inferiority of Western arms can no longer be hidden from the public, something was needed to divert attention.

This was done by dusting off an older issue: Nord Stream 2. Joe Biden once threatened to blow it up. However, when it was actually blown up, all of Washington’s lackeys in Europe pointed their little fingers at Russia. It was Putin who did it! Although the German economy was hit the hardest when competitively priced Russian natural gas, vital for its industry and keeping warm in winter, stopped flowing, the German government seemed at loss. What would their masters in Washington allow them to say and do?

The Scholz government also began to divert the public’s attention, relying chiefly on two apparently mentally retarded, but nonetheless vocal cabinet members. One is Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, a bimbo of unparalleled imbecility, who tours the world making utterly dumb statements. The other is Robert Habeck, the Minister of Economics, who at least seems to have one brain cell more.

After US media suggested it was the Ukrainians who destroyed the pipeline, the former German spy chief joined the chorus, adding that Zelensky did it together with Duda.

Since his reelection in 2020, Duda initially seemed quite OK on account of his unflinching support for the Ukraine, especially after the start of the Russian Special Military Operation in February 2022. With much of the Ukraine historically having been part of Poland at different moments in history, Polish support for a Ukrainian government is always just a bit suspicious. Especially since many Polish nationalists have a very strong historical awareness and continue to regard the Ukraine as part of Poland.

There is, however, another side to Duda: he is a devout Roman Catholic and as such not to be regarded as a complacent and cooperative adherent of gender lunacy. Since this gender lunacy, represented by the LGB-whatever rainbow flag flown at US embassies, is a cornerstone of US foreign policy, the leader of a US satrapy cannot be allowed to ignore this issue or to oppose it! God of Money forbid!

Yet this is precisely what Duda has done. Correctly branding gender lunacy a “foreign ideology,” he was set on changing the Polish Constitution in order to prohibit lesbian and gay couples from adopting children.

Another stain on Duda’s reputation is his failed attempt to make it illegal to blame the Polish nation for anything unpleasant that happened on Polish territory to Jews during the years 1939-1945.

The fact Duda has been indicated as an accomplice in the Nord Stream 2 sabotage provides a nice insight into the way the Empire works. When there is a problem somewhere out there in the imperial boondocks, the local underlings are instructed to take care of the issue, and that way the imperial leadership does not need to soil its own hands.

When the bus arrives, it will crush Zelensky, but quite likely the Polish President as well. Two birds with one stone.
