For years, the Democratic Party has strong-armed its way into the medical field, using coercive tactics to manipulate patients into agreeing with their left-wing ideals. Over the past four years, the left’s totalitarian political agenda was felt across the medical system, with unlawful and insidious medical mandates engulfing doctor’s offices, emergency rooms and intensive care units. Democrats managed to purge the most competent healthcare professionals from hospitals across the United States because these nurses and doctors did not follow the vaccine-mask-testing mandates and treatment restrictions that were put in place by Democrat elites.Now these same monstrous, totalitarian Democrats are erecting voting initiatives inside the medical system to push patients into complying with the Democrat’s sordid political agendas.
Democrat Party elite are manipulating healthcare systems, coercing patients to vote Blue
Vot-ER, a nonprofit organization, is spearheading an effort to integrate voter registration into medical settings, utilizing physicians to encourage certain patient demographics to register and vote. This approach, described by Democrats as a means of empowering patients, has drawn criticism for its political bias and its impact on the healthcare system.
At the core of Vot-ER’s approach is a system that outfits physicians with badges that feature QR codes. When patients scan these codes with their smartphones, they are directed to a website where they can register to vote. According to Vot-ER, this integration of voting into healthcare is intended to act as a form of “therapeutic treatment,” which “enhances patient empowerment and recovery.” For example, Dr. Julie Graziane from the Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute asserts that voter registration serves as a “therapeutic tool” and is integral to the recovery process.
Vot-ER’s founder, Dr. Alister Martin, suggested to a patient that voting was the “only way” to address air pollution, a remark that reflects the organization’s belief in voting as a solution to solve various societal issues. The patient is then manipulated to believe that Democrats are the only ones who will address air pollution, even though the party’s current environmental plan centers around climate change hysteria, and doesn’t address any real pollutants.
Despite its claims of non-partisanship, Vot-ER’s connections to left-leaning politics are evident. In fact, this whole system is funded by Democratic Party donors. Dr. Martin, for instance, is a known donor to Democratic causes and has served as an adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris.
The organization’s leadership includes figures like Aliya Bhatia, who is a donor to Democratic politicians including Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. Another big donor, Leah Ford, previously received recognition from Planned Parenthood and identifies with gender pronouns. The infiltration of medical offices with forms that require “preferred gender pronouns” is another way that the Democratic Party asserts itself as “inclusive” and manipulates patients into accepting delusional Democratic ideals.
Vot-ER is backed by dark money groups and progressive foundations such as the Tides Foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and George Soros’ Open Society Foundations. These affiliations suggest a significant financial and ideological alignment with progressive causes, vaccine mandates and other forms of ideological and physical oppression marketed as “science.”
Vot-ER system targets patients who are more likely to succumb to Democratic Party lies
Vot-ER’s tools have been adopted in a wide range of medical settings, including emergency rooms, psychiatric hospitals and substance abuse clinics, spanning approximately 89,000 patients.
Berlin could halve its military assistance to Kiev in 2025.
German Finance Minister Christian Lindner has issued a request to the country’s defense ministry calling for a limit to military assistance to Ukraine, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) reported on Saturday. According to Lindner, the country’s current budget plan is not capable of allocating funds to Kiev.
The request was made in a letter addressed to German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius and Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, and specified that only military aid that has already been approved can be delivered to Kiev. Additional applications from the defense ministry will no longer be accepted, even if issued at the behest of Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
FAZ noted that the block on newly approvals is already in effect and that Berlin would halve its military aid to Ukraine next year. In 2027, the assistance is expected to decline to less than one tenth of its current volume.
Up to €8 billion in aid to Ukraine has been scheduled for 2024, and the planned maximum of €4 billion for 2025 already exceeds available funds, the media outlet noted, adding that only €3 billion is planned for 2026, and €500 million each for 2027 and 2028.
“End of the event. The pot is empty,” an unnamed source in the federal government told FAZ, stressing that Berlin has “reached a point where Germany can no longer make any promises to Ukraine.”
The newspaper noted that the urge comes amid Lindner’s push for harsh austerity measures; these have already been imposed on all German ministries except defense. The finance minister has been resisting intense pressure from Scholz and Economy Minister Robert Habeck to suspend the country’s constitutional limit on debt to allow for the cost of providing military aid to Kiev amid the Ukrainian conflict.
Germany is the second biggest backer of Ukraine after the US. Berlin has provided and committed military aid of at least €28 billion ($30.3 billion) to Kiev in current and future pledges. This includes advanced military equipment such as Leopard 2 tanks, Marder infantry fighting vehicles, and US-made Patriot air-defense systems.
Lindner reportedly doesn’t expect the country’s assistance to Ukraine to drop, as the minister hopes to cover the expenses not with federal budget funds, but through the use of Russian central bank assets that were frozen by Kiev’s Western allies shortly after the conflict escalated.
Nearly $300 billion belonging to Russia’s central bank has been immobilized by the EU and G7 nations as part of Ukraine-related sanctions. In May, Brussels approved a plan to use the interest earned on the frozen assets to support Ukraine’s recovery and defense. Under the agreement, 90% of the proceeds are expected to go into an EU-run fund for Ukrainian military aid, with the other 10% allocated to supporting Kiev in other ways.
A new study published last month in the international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal Clinical and Experimental Vaccine Research confirms a link between the covid-19 injection and narcolepsy, sleep paralysis, hallucinations, and repeated interruptions or awakenings during the night.
The study aimed to investigate the relationship between covid-19 injections and the incidence of narcolepsy symptoms in the Jordanian population.
Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterised by excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden, uncontrollable episodes of falling asleep.
It’s worth noting that Pfizer Inc.’s safety data – only made available by order of a Texas federal judge, denying the company’s plea to keep the data hidden for more than 75 years – show the company was aware that sleep disorders were linked to their covid injection by February 2021.
The new study used a descriptive, cross-sectional, online self-administered survey conducted between December 2022 and May 2023. The survey targeted males and females above the age of 18 years who took any type of covid injection and had no chronic diseases.
Significantly, patients “had no sleep disorders before taking the vaccine.”
A total of 873 participants were included in this study.
Most participants (79.8%) received two vaccine doses, the Pfizer shot being the most commonly administered (58.6%), followed by Sinopharm (28%), AstraZeneca (6.3%), and a mixed vaccine regimen (7.1%).
Most participants (68.8%) had received their first dose more than a year ago, while 25.7% received it within 7–12 months and 5.5% received it within 6 months.
Significantly, nearly half of the participants reported excessive daytime sleepiness.
“Approximately half of the participants (48.7%) reported experiencing excessive daytime sleepiness,” the study reads. “Among those with excessive daytime sleepiness, the distribution of vaccine types taken showed a slightly higher prevalence of Pfizer (50.6%) and Sinopharm (48.8%) vaccines.”
Two in 10 participants reported experiencing sleep paralysis (20.4%) and hypnagogic hallucinations (15.7%).
[Sleep paralysis is a temporary condition characterised by a feeling of being conscious but unable to move or speak. It typically occurs when a person is falling asleep or waking up, and can last from a few seconds to several minutes.]
[Hypnagogic hallucinations are vivid sensory experiences that occur as a person is drifting off to sleep or waking up. They can involve visual, auditory, tactile, or kinetic perceptions, and can be quite intense and realistic.]
Additionally, sleep attacks (suddenly becoming overwhelmingly sleepy) were reported by 25.1% of the participants.
Those experiencing sleep attacks showed a slightly higher prevalence of Pfizer (27.5%) and Sinopharm (25.4%) jabs.
Finally, fragmented nighttime sleep was reported by 42.3% of the participants.
Those with fragmented sleep showed a higher prevalence of Pfizer (44.9%) and Sinopharm (43.0%) shots.
The study authors believe the covid vaccine is possibly to blame for these sleep disorders, confirming their findings “revealed a notable occurrence of narcolepsy symptoms among vaccinated individuals.”
“We hypothesise a possible link between covid-19 vaccination and the emergence of narcolepsy symptoms in Jordanian individuals,” they write.
“In our study, we observed a concerning incidence of narcolepsy symptoms following covid-19 vaccination. These findings are significant and warrant further investigation into the potential association between covid-19 vaccines and narcolepsy.”

Rep. Clay Higgins released a preliminary report on the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on Thursday. The report reveals disturbing lapses by federal authorities that raise serious questions about the integrity of the investigation.
Congressman Clay Higgins (R-LA), a member of the House Task Force on the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, authored the report after spending 20 hours on the ground in Butler County, Pennsylvania, meticulously examining the crime scene.
The report, dated August 12, 2024, and addressed to Task Force Chairman Mike Kelly, exposes a series of alarming FBI actions—or inactions—that appear to undermine the investigation’s credibility.
As reported earlier, Higgins’ report highlighted several critical observations from his investigation, shedding light on the events leading up to and during the assassination attempt.
One part of the report focused on the clean-up operation. The FBI moved quickly to eliminate all traces of biological evidence from the crime scene.
A coalition of 24 states has joined forces to support Arizona in its battle to uphold proof-of-citizenship requirements for voter registration.
This united front comes in response to a controversial ruling by a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court on August 1, which struck down Arizona’s law requiring proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections.
On August 1, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit issued a narrow 2-1 decision that struck down Arizona’s requirement for proof of citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections.
The ruling allows individuals to register using a state form without providing documentation of their citizenship status, which could lead to widespread voter fraud.
Arizona’s law, enacted in 2022, was designed specifically to prevent non-citizens from voting by mandating proof of citizenship for state voter registration. The initial emergency stay by a different Ninth Circuit panel had upheld these safeguards, but the recent ruling has been interpreted by many as a significant step backward in election security.
“This is just another example of why the radical Ninth Circuit is the most overturned circuit in the nation,” said Senate President Warren Petersen.
“They routinely engage in judicial warfare to carry out their extremist liberal agenda that’s contrary to the laws our citizens elected us to implement. We will seek assistance from the Supreme Court to ensure only American citizens are voting in our elections. If this principle is not followed, democracy as we know it, and as our Founding Fathers intended, is in jeopardy.”
The Republican National Committee (RNC), joined by Republican lawmakers, has joined the fray, filing a brief with the Supreme Court seeking to revive key provisions of Arizona’s law. They argue that the lower court’s decision undermines the rights of legitimate voters and jeopardizes the integrity of electoral outcomes.
“The RNC has an interest in having its members’ rights as voters not undermined by eleventh-hour changes to election laws,” they stated in their brief.
On Thursday, the coalition, which includes 24 states and is spearheaded by Kansas Attorney General Kris W. Kobach and West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, filed an amicus brief urging the highest court in the land to uphold Arizona’s right to enforce voter integrity measures that ensure only U.S. citizens are permitted to vote.
The states that have joined the coalition to support Arizona’s proof of citizenship law in the Supreme Court are:
Kansas
West Virginia
Alabama
Alaska
Arkansas
Florida
Georgia
Idaho
Indiana
Iowa
Kentucky
Louisiana
Missouri
Montana
Nebraska
New Hampshire
North Dakota
Ohio
Oklahoma
South Carolina
South Dakota
Texas
Utah
Virginia
The brief argues that the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) does not preempt Arizona’s ability to enforce its voter qualification laws, particularly the requirement for proof of citizenship.
The coalition contends that the state’s sovereign right to determine voter qualifications, including the requirement that voters be citizens, is constitutionally protected and should not be overridden by federal mandates.
The Arizona law, which was enacted as part of a broader effort to strengthen election security, restricts individuals who are unable to provide proof of citizenship from registering to vote in state and presidential elections. It also limits mail-in voting to those whose citizenship has been verified.
These provisions were challenged in federal court, where a district judge ruled that they were preempted by the NVRA.
The coalition of states, however, argues that this ruling undermines state sovereignty and the constitutional right of states to manage their own elections. The brief highlights the dangers of non-citizen voting, noting that even small numbers of illegal votes can sway the outcome of close elections, citing the 2008 Minnesota Senate race as a prime example.
“Voting by non-citizens, both legal and illegal, is real. The typical rejoinder is to claim that few non-citizens vote. On its own terms, though, the answer at least acknowledges that the problem persists. But it also ignores that even small voting blocs can have outsized effects on electoral outcomes. That effect is most obvious in local elections. But non-citizen voting also has national effects. Al Franken, for example, won his Senate seat in Minnesota in 2008 by 312 votes—an amount small enough that voting by aliens likely decided the election,” according to the brief.
In addition to defending Arizona’s law, the brief warns that the district court’s ruling could have far-reaching consequences, weakening election security measures across the country.
The states argue that the Supreme Court should grant Arizona’s request to stay the district court’s ruling, allowing the state to continue enforcing its proof of citizenship requirement while the case proceeds.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign team has been quietly editing news headlines in Google search ads to make it seem like major news outlets are on her side, according to a report.
The altered headlines — appearing on Google ads and paired with a “Paid for by Harris for President” banner — were changed without the news outlets’ knowledge, Axios reported Tuesday.
Nearly a dozen publishers were swept up in the faux headline campaign, including major companies like the Guardian, Reuters, CBS News, the Associated Press and PBS.
The altered headlines — all paired with a “Paid for by Harris for President” banner — were changed without the news outlets’ knowledge, Axios reported Tuesday.
Even smaller publications like North Dakota’s WDay Radio also saw their headlines changed.
The ads include links to real articles from news outlets, but the headlines and descriptive text had been edited to cast a supportive light on the 59-year-old presidential hopeful.
The headlines also called out Republican nominee Donald Trump. Google Ads transparency
For example, one ad that ran alongside an article from the Guardian shows a headline that reads “VP Harris Fights Abortion Bans – Harris Defends Repro Freedom” and includes supporting text underneath the headline that reads, “VP Harris is a champion for reproductive freedom and will stop Trump’s abortion bans.”
Another linking to an NPR story reads, “Harris Will Lower Health Costs,” with supporting text that says, “Kamala Harris will lower the cost of high-quality affordable health care,” Axios reported.
Spokespeople from the affected companies like CNN, USA Today and NPR — all of which have published flattering content about Harris in recent weeks — said they had no idea the companies were tied up in the campaign.

“While we understand why an organization might wish to align itself with the Guardian’s trusted brand, we need to ensure it is being used appropriately and with our permission. We’ll be reaching out to Google for more information about this practice,” a Guardian spokesperson said.
Though misleading, the tactic does not violate Google’s policies because the fake ads are prominently labeled as “sponsored” and “easily distinguishable from search results.”
“They also include ‘paid for by’ disclosures so it’s clear to users who paid for them. It’s fairly common for advertisers to link out to or cite external websites, including news sites, in their ads,” a Google spokesperson added.
Google says the tactic does not violate its policies. Harris is hiding from the very same press that she is desperately trying to skew in her favor.The former California attorney general has refused to do significant interviews or news appearances since winning the presidential nomination more than three weeks ago.
Dr Benjamin devotes this lecture to the Mongols’ variable success in Asian military campaigns outside China
Korea
Goryeo (Korea), built their first Great Wall in 1033 to protect against nomadic invasions (mainly the Khitan and Jurchins). In 1219 they formed an alliance with the Mongols against the Khitan army. The Mongols subsequently demanded tribute in return for their military support. To enforce this demand, in 1231 Ogedei invaded the Goryeo, which surrendered after their capitol fell. Goryeo’s government Goryeo subsequently tried to outwit the Mongols (who were frightened of seafaring) by moving their capitol to Ganghwa Island. The Mongols retaliated by decimating the mainland. Following a popular uprising in 1258 (13 years before Qubilai Khan conquered China) and the assassination of his top general, the king made peace with the Mongols and agreed to pay them tribute.
Japan
In 1274 Mongols from the Yuan dynasty landed at Hakata Bay in Kyushui Japan with a navy of 3000 warships and 500 support vessels Qubilai Khan ordered his Chinese engineers to build in southern Korea. Their armada was manned by 1000 former Jin and Song sailors and 40,000 Song, Mongol and Korean troops. The 6000 Samurai who met them used siege engines to drive them back, as well as dispatching fire shipst to burn their Mongol ships. In the end, most were lost in a typhoon, in which 13,000 Mongols troops and sailors were drowned.
In a second invasion in 1281, the Mongols attacked at Hanari Bay with 900 ships (built in Korea) manned by 20,000 Korean troops and 20,000 Mongol warriors along with 3,500 Song ships with 100,00 troops were dispatched from Southern China. This would be the largest invading naval fleet prior to Normandy. They had reached a stalemate with the Samurai defenders when another typhoon destroyed most of the ships and killed nearly all the Chinese troops.
Burma
The Mongols first invaded the Pagan empire (Burma) in 1277. They were defeated by superior numbers and army elephants that terrified the Mongol horses. To forestall further Mongol invasions, the Pagan agreed to pay tribute and for 100,000 residents on the Pagan-Yuan border to be incorporated into the Mongol tax rolls.
Vietnam
Vietnam had been incorporated into China during the Ching dynasty and the Han dynasty subsequently incorporated the Red River Valley. The equal treatment of women under Vietnamese law made full incorporation by China impossible.
When pressured, the Vietnam government agreed to pay tribute to the Yuan dynasty but refused to travel to Beijing to offer formal submission. To punish them, Qubilai Khans warriors invaded Diviet (North Vietnam) from the north. Although the cities surrendered, the Vietnamese countryside (with its long of using guerilla tactics to resist foreign) refused to submit.
Indonesia
In 1289, a Mongol envoy presented in the capitol of Indonesia (Java) demanding that the king pay tribute and offer an Indonesian princes for marriage into Qubilai Khan’s family. Concerned the Mongols would try to control the Indonesian spice trade, the Indonesian king sliced off their noses. When the returned with 20,000 warriors, Indonesia, in the midst of civil war, were unsuccessful in defending Java from massive pillaging. The new government agreed to pay tribute but reneged on their commitment. This would be the last foreign campaign of Qubilai Khan, who died in 1294.

While Israel increasingly isolates itself on the international stage, BRICS members Iran, Russia, and China are quietly coordinating a full-spectrum effort to support Palestine diplomatically and militarily.
The Global Majority is fully aware that the genocidals in Tel Aviv are trying as hard as they can to provoke an apocalyptic war – with full US military support, of course.
Contrast that combative mindset with 2,500 years of Persian diplomacy. Iran’s acting Foreign Minister, Ali Bagheri Kani, has recently remarked how Tehran is trying hard to prevent “the Israeli regime’s ‘dream’ of triggering an all-out regional war.”
But one should never interrupt the enemy when he is in total panic. Sun Tzu would have approved this maxim. Iran certainly won’t interfere as the US and G7 members pull out all stops to come up with some semblance of a Gaza ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel to prevent a serious military retaliation by Iran and the Axis of Resistance.
Earlier this week, that warning bore fruit: Hamas representative in Lebanon, Ahmed Abdel Hadi, reported yesterday that Hamas will not show up at the tentative negotiation round on Thursday – today. The reason?
The clear climate is full of deceit and procrastination from Netanyahu, playing for time while the Axis prepares a response to the assassination of martyrs [Hamas Politburo Chief Ismail] Haniyeh and [Hezbollah Military Commander Fuad] Shukr… [Hamas] will not enter into negotiations that provide cover for Netanyahu and his extremist government.
So the waiting game, actually a masterclass of strategic ambiguity to rattle Israel’s nerves, will persist. Beneath all the cheap drama of the collective west begging Iran to not respond, there is a void. Nothing is offered in return.
Worse. Washington’s European vassals – the UK, France, and Germany – issued a statement straight out of Desperation Row, where they “call on Iran and its allies to refrain from attacks that would further escalate regional tensions and jeopardize the opportunity to agree a ceasefire and the release of hostages. They will bear responsibility for actions that jeopardize this opportunity for peace and stability. No country or nation stands to gain from a further escalation in the Middle East.”
Predictably, not a single word about Israel. In this neo-Orwellian formulation, it’s as if the recorded history of the planet started when Iran announced it would retaliate for the assassinations of Haniyeh in Tehran.
Iranian diplomacy swiftly replied to the vassals, stressing its “recognized right” to defend national sovereignty and create deterrence against Israel, the real source of terrorism in West Asia. And crucially, emphasizing they “do not seek permission from anyone” to exercise it.
The heart of the matter predictably escapes western logic: If Washington had forced a Gaza ceasefire last year, the risk of an apocalyptic war convulsing West Asia would have been avoided.
Instead, the US on Wednesday approved a further $20 billion weapons package to Tel Aviv, showing exactly how committed the Americans are to securing a permanent ceasefire.
Palestine meets the BRICS
The Israeli provocations, especially the assassination of Haniyeh, were a direct affront to three top BRICS members: Iran, Russia, and China.
So, the response to Israel implies a concerted articulation of the trio, deriving from its interlocked comprehensive strategic partnerships.
Earlier on Monday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi took a crucial phone call from Iranian Acting Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani, during which he adamantly supported all of Tehran’s efforts to ensure regional peace and stability.
It also signals Chinese support for an Iranian reaction to Israel. Especially considering that the assassination of Haniyeh was seen in Beijing as an unforgivable slap to its considerable diplomatic efforts, taking place only a few days after the Hamas chief, alongside other Palestinian political representatives, signed the Beijing Declaration.
Then, on Tuesday, Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas met with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin at his Novo-Ogaryovo residence in Moscow. What Putin told Abbas is a gem of an understatement:
It is well known that Russia today, unfortunately, must defend its interests, defend its people with weapons in its hands, but what is happening in the Middle East [West Asia], what is happening in Palestine – certainly does not go unnoticed.
Yet there is a serious problem. The US- and Israeli-backed Abbas is like some sort of broken reed, enjoying scarce credibility in Palestine, with the latest polls revealing that 94 percent of West Bankers and 83 percent of Gazans demand his resignation. Meanwhile, less than 8 percent of Palestinians blame Hamas as responsible for their current, horrible plight. Overwhelming trust is placed in the new Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwar.
Moscow is in a complex position – trying to boost a new political process in Palestine with its instrumental tools of statesmanship, in a much more forceful way than the Chinese. Yet Abbas is resisting it.
There are some auspicious angles, though. In Moscow, Abbas said that they had discussed BRICS: “We have reached a verbal agreement that Palestine would be invited in the ‘outreach’ format,” and expressed hope that:
A particular format of a meeting could be organized and it will be devoted exclusively to Palestine, so that all countries would voice their views on the developments that are taking place … It will all be as relevant as possible, considering the fact that the countries of this association [BRICS] are all friendly to Palestine.
That, in itself, is a significant Russian diplomatic victory. The optics of Palestine being placed among the BRICS for serious discussions will have an immense impact all across Muslim states and the Global Majority.
How to calibrate a deadly response
On the bigger picture – the Axis of Resistance’s response to Israel – Russia is also deeply involved. Recently, a stream of Russian aircraft landed in Iran, reportedly carrying offensive and defensive military hardware, including the game-changing Murmansk-BN system, capable of jamming and scrambling all sorts of radio signals, GPS, communications, satellites, and electronic systems up to 5,000 kilometers away.
This is the ultimate nightmare for Israel and its NATO helpers. If deployed by Iran, the Murmansk-BN electronic warfare system can literally fry the whole Israeli grid, which is only 2,000 kilometers away, targeting military bases and also the electric grid.
If Iran’s response intends to really go off the charts – teaching the occupation state an epic, unforgettable lesson – that might feature a combination of the Murmansk-BN and new Iranian hypersonic missiles.
And perhaps some extra Russian hypersonic surprises. After all, Secretary of the National Security Council Sergey Shoigu recently went to Tehran to meet with Iranian Chief of Staff Major General Bagheri, exactly to round up the finer points of their comprehensive strategic partnership, including in the military field.
Major General Bagheri even let the BRICS cat out of the bag when he said, “We will welcome the tripartite cooperation of Iran, Russia, and China.” That’s how civilization-states unite in practice to combat the Forever War ethos built into the Western “democratic” plutocracy.
As much as Russia and China are supporting Palestine and Iran on several levels, it’s inevitable that the focus of the Forever Wars is now turned against all of them. Escalation is rampant across the board – in Ukraine, Israel, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen, plus color revolutions from Bangladesh (successful) to Southeast Asia (aborted).
Which brings us to the key drama in Tehran: how to carefully calibrate a response that will make Israel regretful, but not lead to bleeding wounds from Iran to Russia and China.
The overarching clash – between Eurasia and NATOstan – is inevitable. Putin himself revealed it in stark terms when he said, “Any peace talks with Ukraine are impossible as long as it conducts strikes on civilian populations and threatens nuclear power plants.”
The same applies to Israel in Gaza. “Peace talks” – or ceasefire negotiations – are impossible while Gaza and sovereign nations such as Syria, Iraq, and Yemen are being shelled at will.
There’s only one way to deal with it: militarily, with smart force.
Iran, in consultation with strategic partners Russia and China, may be trying to find a third way. Project Israel is practically shutting down its own economy to safeguard the occupation state from a deadly response by Iran and the Axis of Resistance.
So Tehran may be pushing Sun Tzu to the limit – the waiting game, the psy ops, the unbearable strategic ambiguity – forcing Israeli settlers to stew in their underground bunkers until the whole, across-the-board, coordinated strategy is in place to deliver a killer blow.
Media outlets such as the WSJ recently started to peddle a narrative that the Nord Stream pipeline destruction in 2022 was allegedly orchestrated by a group of high-ranking Ukrainian officers led by Gen. Valery Zaluzhny.
Despite Western media efforts to implicate Ukraine, the United States still looks like the “main beneficiary and customer of the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline,” says German political analyst and independent journalist Dr. Gregor Spitzen.
“This has been clear from the very beginning, both in terms of the basic Roman law principle of ‘Cui bono?’ [who benefits?] and the statements by President Joe Biden and Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland that the US would not allow the pipeline to go into operation,” he tells Sputnik.
Efforts by German politicians and media to draw the attention away from the US by “throwing new and implausible versions into the information field,” while understandable – “if the US is found guilty of an act of state terrorism on the object of German property, the whole architecture of European security will collapse” – are still no less outrageous, Dr. Spitzen remarks.
“Germany’s attempts to pin the blame on Ukrainian saboteurs who acted without a clear mandate from their government, while at the same time taking President Zelensky out of harm’s way, looks legally flawless, but completely implausible,” Dr. Spitzen elaborates. “It can be predicted that the specific Ukrainians accused of sabotage will never be found. Either they will be found to have died of natural causes under suspicious circumstances, or they will have committed suicide.”
“This would be the best solution to the Nord Stream sabotage case. The pipeline is destroyed, US guilt is not proven, German politicians’ reputations are saved, Ukrainian political leaders are exonerated, and the specific perpetrators, who acted on their own initiative, are dead or missing,” he adds.
Former CIA operations officer Philip Giraldi also branded media efforts to pin the blame on Ukraine as a “cover story,” arguing that Kiev simply lacked the resources to carry out the Nord Stream bombing.
“The US did and had even stated its intention in advance to destroy the pipeline if Russia were to invade Ukraine. And there is also the involvement of Norway which is not plausible if it were a Ukrainian operation,” he said.
Both Spitzen and Giraldi suggested that the fact that the story about Ukraine’s alleged role in the Nord Stream bombing surfaced simultaneously in the US and German media hints at the likelihood of a coordinated effort to craft “an acceptable narrative regarding what took place,” as Giraldi put it.
“It suggests to me that they are coordinating some new approach in dealing with Ukraine and Zelensky though I am not sure what that might be,” Giraldi added.
