Central Kiev hit by kamikaze drones – reports
The latest strikes in the Ukrainian capital reportedly targeted “critical infrastructure”
Several explosions rocked central Kiev on Monday morning, Mayor Vitaly Klitschko has confirmed, amid reports of a new wave of drone strikes one week after Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine’s critical energy and military infrastructure.
“An explosion in the Shevchenko district – in the center of the capital,” Klitschko wrote on his Telegram channel at around 7am Monday morning, before reporting another blast in the same area several minutes later. A fire broke out in a non-residential building, and several residential buildings were damaged, he later added.
NATO kicks off nuclear exercises
Operation ‘Steadfast Noon’ will see the deployment of US B-52 bombers in Europe, with no plans to use live weapons
NATO exercises that seek to improve the alliance’s deterrence capabilities, involving strategic jets that can carry nuclear weapons, will start on Monday, amid heightened tensions with Russia over the Ukraine conflict.
The 'Steadfast Noon' drills will last until October 30 and take place over Belgium, the North Sea, and the UK. NATO has described the exercises as “routine” and “not linked to any current world events,” while insisting that no live weapons will be used.
Ukraine Can Retake Crimea By Next Summer, Former Top US Commander Says
A top US general, now retired, has said he believes that Ukrainian forces can retake the Crimean Peninsula by next summer. Ben Hodges is the former commanding general of the United States Army Europe, and he's predicting that "Crimea will be free by summer."
He told German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in statements published over the weekend, "When I look at the situation, I see that the situation of the Russians is getting worse with every week." Hodges went on to explain that Ukraine's military is likely to keep this momentum given "far superior" logistics and motivation to fight.
On the edge of Armageddon? Why the Ukraine conflict is dangerously similar to the Cuban missile crisis
Rising tensions between Washington and Moscow are reminiscent of a crisis from 60 years ago that nearly triggered devastation
History records that on October 16, 1962, then-US President John F. Kennedy received information from the CIA about the deployment of Soviet missiles in Cuba. This event was the formal beginning of the Cuban Missile Crisis — the first, and for a long time, the only event in world history that brought humanity to the brink of nuclear war.
Back then, cool heads – who had not yet forgotten the horrors of a real war – were able to prevent a catastrophe. Whether today's leaders will show the same restraint is far from certain.
Iran issues warning to Biden
Attempts to influence the country from abroad will fail, Tehran says
he US will fail in its attempts to incite unrest and meddle in Iran’s domestic affairs, Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani has said. His statement comes after US President Joe Biden backed the anti-government protests across the Islamic Republic.
Protests and clashes with police erupted last month after a 22-year-old woman, Mahsa Amini, died in custody after being detained by Iran’s morality police in Tehran for wearing an “inappropriate” headscarf. Her family claimed that she had been tortured.
Chants of ‘Death to Khamenei’ Heard Outside Burning Iranian Jail Where Hundreds of Regime’s Opponents Held
Since Amini’s death, Iranian men and women have continued to protest against the regime’s brutality. The brutality against the people of Iran includes firing on protesters with an AK-47 , firing indiscriminately on protesters in the street from their moving vehicles, murdering Hadis Najafi , a powerful symbol of the uprisings, the kidnapping, torture, rape and murder of Nika Shakarimi and, sadly, so much more.
Biden WON'T meet with Saudi Crown Prince at the G20 summit says Jake Sullivan - after oil-rich nation humiliated president by confirming he BEGGED them to delay production cut until after midterms
President Joe Biden as of Sunday has no plans for another one-on-one meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, after OPEC+ announced dramatic cuts to production that are likely to force gas prices up in the United States and elsewhere.
White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan was asked by CNN's State of the Union whether Biden has any plans to meet with MBS, as he's colloquially known, at the upcoming G20 summit of the world's wealthiest nations.

Seoul, Oct 16 (IANS) The office of South Korea President Yoon Suk-yeol has been on 24-hour standby as North Korea is expected to conduct its seventh nuclear test at any time, officials said Sunday.
North Korea’s recent series of missile launches and other provocations are believed to be part of the regime’s preparations for a seventh nuclear test, Yonhap news agency reported quoting officials.

The Energy Crisis In Europe Is So Bad That Some People Are Thinking Of Using Horse Poop To Heat Their Homes This Winter
Europe is facing an extremely cold winter that will be filled with energy shortages, blackouts and absurdly high power bills. All across the continent, ordinary people can see what is coming, and many of them are starting to panic. Demand for wood stoves is off the charts, and many Europeans are hoarding wood and other materials to burn in their existing wood stoves during the bitterly cold months ahead.
We truly are in unprecedented territory, and things are about to start getting really crazy out there.
German hospitals face bankruptcies
Berlin must act “quickly and drastically” to avoid hospital closures, the health minister has warned
Many hospitals in Germany may be forced into bankruptcy due to soaring energy prices and inflation, unless the federal government comes up with some form of assistance, Health Minister Karl Lauterbach said on Sunday.
“If we do not react quickly and really drastically, there will be closures,” Lauterbach told ARD broadcaster, adding that “the hospitals will face a very drastic liquidity problem in the next few months.”
Hedge Fund CIO: "I'm Growing Extremely Concerned About The Market. We're Close To A Broad Liquidation Point For Markets"
“Following the 2008 crisis, there was this well-intended, monoline focus on banks becoming safe,” said the CIO, high atop his prodigious pile. “The thought was that by making banks permanently safe, we could effectively eliminate systemic risk,” he said. “That’s wrong of course, but not for obvious reasons.” Following each financial crisis, the politicians, regulators, and policy makers strive to ensure that we never repeat the debacle, which inevitably appears obvious in hindsight. They usually succeed, and in so doing, sow the seeds of something novel.
Illiquidity Causing Full-Blown Panic In World Markets
October 16 (King World News) – Matthew Piepenburg, Partner at Matterhorn Asset Management: One can’t emphasize enough how dangerous the current macro setting is in the wake of a deliberately strong yet increasingly illiquid Dollar.
The Illiquid Dollar: We Showed You So
Over the years, I have written and reported a great deal about the US Dollar and the ironic mix (as well as danger) of its over-creation yet simultaneous lack of liquidity.
These odd liquidity forces, as argued since the first repo crisis of late 2019, combined with a now weaponized USD on the backs of intentionally rising rates by a cornered and Volcker-wanabe Fed, all converge to spell short-term power for the Greenback and longer-term misery for just about every other asset class and economy in a now openly fractured global financial system.
The American Consumer Is Getting Plundered While The Debt Markets Get Trampled - We Were Warned There'd Be Hell To Pay For Locking Down The Economy And Endlessly Printing Money
Anyone with half a brain knew there would be hell to pay for locking down the economy and simultaneously printing and spewing out trillions of dollars of confetti money. The bill has finally come due.
Did you see the latest consumer price index (CPI) report?
According to the government bean counters consumer price inflation, as measured by the CPI, increased in September at an annual rate of 8.2 percent. While this is down slightly from several months ago, the year-over-year increase in prices is still near a 40-year high.

White House now pursuing same sun-blocking geoengineering scheme that was called a “conspiracy theory” just two years ago
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy has launched a five-year research plan that aims to develop methods of reflecting sunlight back into space in order to “cool” the planet and save it from “global warming.”
Just a few years ago, the independent media was dubbed a pack of wild “conspiracy theorists” for warning that the climate cultists were shifting gears and taking direct aim at the sun for elimination. Now, the conspiracy theories we warned you about are becoming conspiracy facts.
Mass extinction event underway across planet Earth as WILDLIFE populations plunge nearly 70 percent in just 50 years
(Natural News) Over the past fifty years, the world has been undergoing a mass extinction event, as habitats and bio-diverse ecosystems are diminished from the planet. The World-Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) published a new report documenting the appalling loss of animal populations since 1970. According to their latest Living Planet Report 2022, today’s agricultural practices (mono-culture) and other deleterious human activities are rapidly destroying natural habitats and displacing wildlife, leading to devastating losses for biodiversity and animal populations.
TRANS-WOMB? Babies know “from the womb” which gender they are “going to be” according to Children’s Hospital video featuring pharma shill
Natural News) According to the insane Leftists who push gender fluidity on the whole country, babies know the gender they want to be when they come out of the womb. A new Children’s Hospital commercial features a pharma shill who informs us all that … “a good portion of children do know as early as seemingly from the womb.” So now, according to the left, the first time a child says the word “woman” or “man,” that means that’s what they want to become, because we’re all supposedly ‘gender fluid,’ shifting back and forth at any given moment from our biological gender to whatever other genders (sexual preferences and role-playing identities) are out there.
Ex-Witch Jenny Weaver Warns of the Spiritual Dangers of Halloween
Dressing up in costumes, handing out candy, and carving jack-o-lanterns may seem like an innocent tradition, but Halloween’s roots come from a dark, ancient, pagan festival. Now, ex-witch Jenny Weaver who is being used powerfully by God is warning Christians about the spiritual danger of participating in Halloween.
Originally called “Samhain,” Oct. 31 marked the summer’s end and fall’s beginning. Many believed it was a day where the veil between the living and the dead was so thin people could cross through.
“It’s all steeped in demonic rituals,” Weaver says. People in Northern Europe would dress up in costumes to disguise themselves as one of the spirits rising from the dead to protect their families from what they thought was lurking between the veil.
Amazing video: Apocalyptic upward lightnings erupt out of Merapi volcano crater in Indonesia
Another kind of eruption… Instead of spewing lava, lightning bolts erupted out of the Indonesian Merapi volcano crater. Insane!
This is just another epic video of upward lightings coming out of the crater of Merapi volcano in Indonesia…
The amazing video was captured by the FREKOM Merapi CCTV at Mount Merapi Volcano, located at Kemirikebo Tourist Village Park on October 11, 2022.
More great coverage of our quickly changing dystopia. Thank you.
Thanks Lioness.
The horse poop and the dimming of the sun got my attention among the dystopian bonanza.
The former because Alex Epstein talked about it a lot in his book Fossil Future. Talked about how it causes significant health problems in those areas still relying on it, mostly the 3rd world. The...not quite irony...tragedy maybe...of the 1st world regressing so, based on a psychosis, is chilling (pardon the pun).
Blocking sunlight. The same psychopaths who brought us poisons in everything now want us to trust them to manage this made up issue of warming as though the earth and its systems were a fridge thermostat?
Even if they didn't want to, odds are that they will botch it, block photosynthesis and eliminate life on this planet. The arrogance to even presume they could control such a global experiment, with ~8B lives on the line!
Because of plant food and cyclical temperature trends impervious to human impact? The planet is about to cool significantly, regardless of anything we could do. The evidence is out there, actual evidence of the cycles.
If we don't deal with these monsters, they will kill us all.
As evidenced by the GoF where they made a really lethal Omicron. And the fact Eco Health is funded to again go bat hunting for viruses. We know how these songs go, now. That the system is still approving certifiably insane experiments and bioweapons research tells us nothing has been learned. Moreover it tells us that what has happened to this point was planned to happen. There are no ripples in the swamp. If it wasn't the plan there would be a disturbance by the swamp creatures.
Peace. For what it's worth.
