Russia warns NATO of ‘direct war’ over Ukraine
Moscow’s envoy to the UN has reiterated where the Kremlin’s red line is
Granting Kiev permission to use Western-supplied long-range weapons would constitute direct involvement in the Ukraine conflict by NATO, Russia’s envoy to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, has said. Moscow will treat any such attack as coming from the US and its allies directly, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday, explaining that long-range weapons rely on Western intelligence and targeting solutions, neither of which Ukraine is capable of. NATO countries would “start an open war” with Russia if they allow Ukraine to use long-range weapons, Nebenzia told the UN Security
BREAKING: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau "fully supports" Ukraine using long-range weaponry against Russia
UK's Starmer, Canada's Trudeau, Pressure Biden To Escalate With Russia Despite Putin Warning Of 'War' With NATO
Kirby: no change as yet to US policy on long-range missiles but Putin's words being taken "seriously"
Update(1450ET): Kirby came out on Friday and told reporters that there's been no change in US policy regarding Ukraine using Western arms for long-rage strikes inside Russia. But the pressure is quickly ramping up: first Canada's Trudeau said he supports greenlighting this, despite Putin making clear this would mean 'direct war' between Russia and NATO, and now UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is coming out in support. According to breaking reporting in The Wall Street Journal: U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to urge President Biden on Friday during a visit to Washington to sign off on allowing Ukraine to use long-range European-made cruise missiles to strike targets deep inside Russia, according to U.S. and Western officials.
Moscow Expels 6 British Diplomats Over Alleged Espionage
Latest tit-for-tat comes as UK mulls authorizing long-range missile strikes on Russian soil
Since the Russia-Ukraine war began in February 2022, there have been periodic tit-for-tat waves of punitive actions unleashed on diplomats on either side of the conflict between Moscow and the West. This has often centered on accusations of spying and espionage. It's no secret that nations often use embassies and consulates to place deep cover intelligence operatives, often posing as diplomats. That's exactly what Russia is newly alleging in expelling six British diplomats on Friday. Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) has announced it has revoked the accreditation of six British officials, alleging they were in the country for espionage and were "threatening Russia's security."
Pentagon orders study of potential nuclear strike in Eastern Europe
The program will model a scenario in which the region faces an atomic disaster, documents show.
The US Defense Department has ordered a study to simulate the impact of a nuclear conflict on global agriculture. According to a solicitation notice posted on a government procurement platform, the study will focus on regions "beyond Eastern Europe and Western Russia," which in the simulation is the epicenter of the hypothetical nuclear weapons deployment.
The project will be spearheaded by the US Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC).
According to the notice posted earlier this week, the ERDC has already chosen Terra Analytics, a Colorado-based company that specializes in advanced data visualization and analyses, as the contractor. However, it states that other potential contractors are invited to share their proposals if they are able to provide similar services.
The West is ensuring Kiev’s demise on purpose
By allowing Ukraine to hit Russia with their missiles, NATO members are enacting a cruel sacrifice to wind down the war
The predictable and predicted is happening again. Despite the coyly teasing dance of seven veils performed by, mostly, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, to those who ignored the noise and focused on the signal, it’s always been clear that Washington and London would decide to – officially and openly – allow and help Ukraine to use their missiles for attacks even deeper into Russia than before. And of course, it’s been obvious to Moscow as well, as Dmitry Peskov, President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, made clear as early as September 11.
NATO's Backpedaling on Ukrainian Long-Range Strikes Linked to Awareness of Russia's Response Options
President Putin's stark warning Thursday that NATO would find itself in a state of war with Russia if it freed Kiev's hand to launch attacks deep into Russia using Western weapons has rekindled fears of the Ukrainian crisis escalating into a world-ending nuclear war. Sputnik asked observers how such a terrible eventuality could be avoided.
World leaders, opposition figures and independent media have reacted to President Putin’s comments on the danger of the Ukrainian proxy war turning into a hot war with NATO if the latter greenlights the use of its long-range strike systems to attack Russia.
US sanctions RT
The Russian outlet is a threat to democracy, the State Department has claimed
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has accused RT and its parent company of acting as an extension of Russian intelligence and attempting to undermine democracy around the world. Speaking at a State Department press conference on Friday, Blinken announced sanctions designations against RT parent companies Rossiya Segodnya and TV-Novosti, accusing “individuals affiliated” and “elements within” them of allegedly attempting to interfere in the Moldovan elections. The State Department has also sanctioned Dmitry Kiselev, Rossiya Segodnya’s director-general.
US Scrambles Fighter Jets To Intercept Russian Aircraft Near Alaska
The United States scrambled fighter jets after Russian military aircraft were detected near Alaska.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) said Wednesday that it detected, tracked, and intercepted two Russian military aircraft operating in the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ). In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, NORAD said U.S. fighter jets had conducted the intercept. "The Russian aircraft remained in international airspace and did not enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace," it said. "This Russian activity in the Alaska ADIZ is not seen as a threat, and NORAD will continue to monitor competitor activity near North America and meet presence with presence."
Japan scrambles jets as Russian aircraft circles country
TOKYO: Japan scrambled fighter jets after Russian aircraft flew around the archipelago for the first time in five years, Tokyo's defence ministry said on Friday (Sep 13).
From Thursday morning to afternoon, the Russian Tu-142 aircraft flew from the sea between Japan and South Korea towards the southern Okinawa region, according to a statement by the defence ministry. They then went northwards over the Pacific Ocean to finish their journey off northern Hokkaido island, it added. The planes did not enter Japanese airspace but flew over an area subject to a territorial dispute between Japan and Russia, the official said.
U.S. Official Admits Biden-Harris Govt Has Driven Russia & China Closer Together
The U.S. State Department is claiming the People’s Republic of China is now directly supplying lethal military aid to Russia for use in Ukraine.
Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell leveled the accusation yesterday while visiting NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgium—an unwitting acknowledgment that Western assistance to Ukraine is strengthening Russia’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). For much of the war, U.S. officials have contended that Beijing has supplied Russia with dual-use items and technologies beneficial to its defense sector. These items include semiconductor chips, machine tools, microelectronics, navigation equipment, and jet parts.
Russia and China Conduct Largest Military Drills since Cold War
In the last week, the military forces of China and Russia conducted some of the largest drills in the last 30 years, marking an alarming increase in the two nations’ displays of military strength.
According to Fox News, the week-long drills will include 90,000 troops, 400 naval vessels, and 120 aircraft, and will take place in the Pacific and Arctic Oceans, as well as the Baltic, Caspian, and Mediterranean Seas. The drill has been named “Ocean 24.” The display of power takes place as representatives from the United States meet with leaders of the European Union in Brussels, specifically focusing on rising tensions in the Indo-Pacific Region. China and Russia have slowly been growing closer together in recent years, with the former supporting the latter’s invasion of Ukraine.
North Korea Issues Photos Of Uranium Enrichment Facility For First Time
Kim featured touring facility while urging "higher long-term goal in producing nuclear materials."
Earlier we reported that Kim Jong Un gave a speech marking the 76th founding anniversary of North Korea's founding to kick off the week. He said that a nuclear overhaul is needed to defend the country from "hostile" forces and that North Korea faces "a grave threat" as a result of the "reckless expansion" the United States-led military bloc in the region. North Korea will "redouble its measures and efforts to make all the armed forces of the state, including the nuclear force, fully ready for combat," he stated. On Friday he has backed his words by for the first time releasing images of the country's main uranium enrichment facility.
North Korea's Kim Jong Un meets Russia's Shoigu, KCNA says
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un met with top Russian security official Sergei Shoigu and discussed deepening strategic dialog between the two countries, state media KCNA said on Saturday.

Germany's New Border Crackdown Wins Cheers & Jeers Amid EU Rifts Over Immigration
Germans are increasingly tired of seeing their country overrun by refugees from tghe Middle East and Ukraine. The success of the right-wing Alternative for Germany party in regional elections piled further pressure on the government of Chancellor Olaf Scholz to tackle the migrant issue — one that polls show is a top concern for voters.
Germany's new border controls and stronger deportation laws have drawn praise from Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban but prompted criticism from other European states. “Border protection has become a negative word in recent times, because everyone has had to let the migrants in — whoever stops them is the bad guy,” Orban told Hungarian national radio on Friday.
Poland criticizes new German anti-immigration controls
Berlin’s passport checks will only worsen relations with Warsaw, Foreign Ministry has said
The German government’s decision to tighten border controls is an “unfriendly act” towards neighboring Poland that could worsen the two countries’ relations, the Polish Foreign Ministry has warned. Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government announced this week that Germany would begin checking passports along its land border with several EU nations for at least six months, disregarding the Schengen agreement. Berlin said the decision, which is set to come into force on September 16, was taken in order to curb “irregular migration.”
Syrian man arrested over plot to kill German soldiers
The suspect had two knives and planned to attack the troops as they ate lunch, prosecutors said
Police in the German state of Bavaria have arrested a Syrian migrant for allegedly plotting to stab multiple soldiers to death. The arrest comes as Germany tightens its border security in a crackdown on “Islamist terror groups.” The 27-year-old was arrested on Thursday and charged with plotting a “serious act of violence endangering the state,” prosecutors in Munich said in a statement to German media on Friday.
The suspect, whom prosecutors described as an “alleged follower of a radical Islamic ideology,” recently acquired two 40cm knives and planned to “attack Bundeswehr soldiers” in the Bavarian city of Hof, where they would be congregating near a military barracks on their lunch break, the statement said.
Hamas' Sinwar Issues Rare Letter Thanking Hezbollah Chief For Sending Thousands Of Rockets Against Israel
Overnight rockets pounded northern city of Safed
Hamas chief Yehya Sinwar, who is believed to be on the run in tunnels underneath Gaza, has taken the rare step of sending a letter to the leader of Lebanese Hezbollah's Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah 'thanking' him for taking the fight to Israel in the north. At this point throughout the eleven-month conflict, Hezbollah has launched literally many thousands of rockets on northern Israel, and there's been daily tit-for-tat exchanges with Israel. "Your blessed actions have expressed your solidarity on the fronts of the Axis of Resistance, supporting and engaging in the battle," Sinwar told Nasrallah in the letter, Lebanon's al-Manar channel said. Sinwar further hailed the war as "one of the most honorable battles for the Palestinian people." It's clearly part of a defiant effort of Hamas to show Israel and the world that its leader is alive and well.
For the first time: Israel to add the north to the goals of the war
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to bring for Cabinet approval the addition of the goal of "returning the residents of the north to their homes safely" to the goals of the war.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will bring for Cabinet approval the addition of the goal of "returning the residents of the north to their homes safely" to the goals of the war, Channel 12 News reported on Friday evening. A defense official said that it is necessary to prepare for a long war in the north that will exact a heavy price. According to Friday’s report, the Prime Minister held a limited security consultation on Thursday night with Ministers Ron Dermer and Bezalel Smotrich, as well as with Shas chairman Aryeh Deri, and decided during that meeting to bring this addition to the goals of the war for a vote in the Cabinet.

US President Joe Biden’s special envoy Amos Hochstein will arrive in Israel on Monday for talks focused on preventing an escalation between Israel and Lebanon. During the visit, Hochstein is expected to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Gallant, and other top security officials. The White House said Hochstein’s visit is a continuation of the diplomacy he has been carrying out for months. White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told an Al Arabiya reporter during a phone call with reporters on Friday, “We are trying to prevent the opening of a second front in northern Israel."
Hamas warehouses in Gaza are overflowing with stolen humanitarian aid - N12
“At this point, we have everything... The warehouse is at full capacity," a Hamas terrorist can be heard saying in an intercepted recording.
Hamas terrorists have confiscated so much humanitarian aid that the terror group is struggling to find space in warehouses to store all of it, according to intercepted communications between Hamas operatives that were played during an episode of N12's "Ulpan Shishi" on Friday. These intercepted communications feature Hamas operatives discussing the movement of goods from overflowing humanitarian aid warehouses to Khan Yunis.
‘Policy of intimidation and threat’: How Hamas brutalizes Palestinians to maintain control of Gaza
“There is no liberation movement that has freed its people without paying a big price in terms of civilians,” Hamas official Salah al-Din al-Awawdeh said.
Palestinian activists and whistleblowers complained of the brutal treatment they faced for speaking out against the terror group Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip, in an article published by the New York Times on Friday. The article followed the torture of Palestinian activist Amin Abed - who had previously found bullets on his doorstep in response to speaking out against Hamas. Abed told the Times that in July, he was attacked by members of Hamas. They reportedly covered Abed’s face and beat him with hammers and metal bars.
Head of IDF 8200 military intelligence unit resigns, takes responsibility for Oct 7 failures
IDF Brig.-Gen. Yossi Sariel, commander of the Israeli military’s elite 8200 military intelligence unit, resigned from his position on Thursday, officially taking responsibility for failure to prevent the Hamas Oct. 7 massacre despite receiving ‘detailed information’ about Hamas’ operational attack plans.
Sariel noted that despite “the detailed information that was produced and distributed about Hamas’ plans and its preparations did not succeed in shattering the foundational intelligence and military understandings either within the unit or among our partners. Despite the expectations of us.” Sariel notified his commanders that “on October 7 at 6:29 a.m. I did not fulfill my mission as I expected of myself, as my commanders and subordinates expected of me, and as the citizens of the nation I love so much expected of me.”
MADNESS: Deranged Labour Mayor of London Sadiq Khan Wants Freed Convicts to Have Priority in Housing Over Thousands of Homeless Citizens
Another day, another demented policy proposal by the Labour party rushing to destroy British society in the name of ‘social justice’.
There’s no surprise that the detestable Labour Mayor of London Sadiq Khan would jump on PM Keir Starmer’s bandwagon and immediately start advocating for the ‘rights’ of the thousands of released convict prisoners. His ‘brilliant idea’: prisoners should ‘jump’ the housing queue for housing. Yes, you read it right. He couches his suggestion as ‘a bid to slash reoffending rates’.
Another Muslim Rape Gang Convicted
Seven Muslim grooming gang predators have been sentenced for child sex abuse offenses against two girls in Rotherham, England.
Their crimes date back to the 2000s, with many such groomers only being prosecuted years or decades after the fact. This is a result of Britain’s woke police forces, prosecutors, and child protective services being reluctant to pursue the predominantly Muslim, Pakistani-heritage offenders and neglecting their mostly white, working-class victims due to fears they would be accused of racism for taking action.
BREAKING: Not Just Springfield, Ohio — Three Cats Found Mutilated, Cut in Half with Paws Cleanly Chopped Off, No Blood at the Scene in Houston, Texas in Less Than Two Weeks
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Springfield, Ohio residents have alleged Haitians in their town are “grabbing up ducks by their necks, decapitating them, and walking off with them to eat.”
Others revealed how the massive influx of immigrants, thanks to border czar Kamala Harris, has drained Springfield’s resources and turned a once-safe city into a crime-ridden hell. One resident even claimed she spotted a cat hanging from a branch and being carved up for food by Haitian immigrants. Reports have also emerged that American veterans who have put their lives on the line are getting denied benefits while Haitians sponge off the taxpayers for absolutely nothing.
Residents of Pennsylvania Town Outraged That Civil War-Era Orphanage Might be Used to House Migrants
A Civil War era orphanage in the Gettysburg area of Pennsylvania is being considered for use as housing for migrants and many residents are not happy about it.
This is so disrespectful to the people who live in this area and to our history as a country. We don’t have to do this and more people have to start reminding our leaders of that fact. If it has gotten to the point where historic buildings are being considered for illegal border crossers, we have run out of room. FOX News reports: ‘It’ll upend the community’: PA town roiled by talk of migrant housing in Civil War-era orphanage building A Pennsylvania community is up in arms over reports that as many as 1,000 migrants were to be and reportedly still could be housed in a Civil War-era orphanage most recently used as a summer camp facility.
Moderna Scales Back Its Vaccine Ambitions as COVID Jab Revenue Collapses
The pharmaceutical giant Moderna is scaling back its ambitions to develop new vaccines after demand for its dodgy COVID-19 jab collapsed.
According to Axios, the company has seen its revenue from the COVID-19 vaccines plunge over the past few years and can no longer afford to research new vaccines. The report states: Moderna is dialing back its plans for new vaccines, shelving several key projects as it grapples with a sharp slowdown in COVID shot sales. [The company] plans to “slow down the pace of new R&D investment, and build our commercial business,” CEO Stéphane Bancel said in a statement. It’ll reduce annual R&D expenses from $4.8 billion in 2024 to $3.6B-$3.8B in 2027, including by ditching several programs.

IS THE MARKET PRICING A FED CUT OR IS A NEW BANKING CRISIS ABOUT TO SPARK AGAIN?
For traders, a FED rate cut next week is a done deal, and portfolios have already been positioned accordingly.
This is the narrative force-fed by MSM to the public that everyone is expected to embrace. However, today I would like to offer you a different perspective. What if this strong bid we are seeing for T-Bills is yet again a harbinger of a banking crisis as we saw in 2022? Follow me here. The first thing important to understand is the role of US T-Bills in the plumbing of the financial system, especially the 1-month maturity ones. T-Bills are effectively “better than cash”. Wait, what? Yes sir, T-Bills are what’s called in jargon “pristine collateral”, meaning that by pledging them, you can borrow 100% of their value in cash.
FOMC: Fear of Missing Crash
The stage is set for the biggest end of cycle policy collision in world history, which is being conflated as an early cycle buying opportunity.
Back at the beginning of August pundits didn't see the carry trade RISK OFF coming a year ahead of time therefore they were shocked when markets were suddenly bidless overnight. The policy collision between the Fed and BOJ had been building for the entire past year, but nevertheless the normalization of BOJ policy after 30 years caught everyone by surprise. It took a global pandemic in order to finally generate enough global inflation to force the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates.
JPMorgan chief Jamie Dimon warns US economy faces an outcome worse than a recession
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has said he would not rule out an outcome for the US economy which is widely considered to be worse than a recession.
The chief executive of the biggest bank in the US said this week 'the worst income is stagflation,' which he would not 'take off the table.' Economists consider stagflation, last seen in the US in the 1970s, to be worse than a recession. It would send stocks down, hitting 401(K)s and other retirement savings. Stagflation is the combination of economic stag-nation and in-flation. Prices continue to soar at the same time as unemployment rises and economic growth slows - a triple whammy of problems. In a recession, unemployment increases and the economy shrinks - but the silver lining is that there is little or no inflation.
Three New Pacts to Be Approved at the UN Summit
This is the fourth part in a series looking at the plans of the United Nations (UN) and its agencies designing and implementing the agenda of the Summit of the Future in New York on 22-23 September 2024, and its implications for global health, economic development, and human rights.
Previous articles analyzed the impact of the climate agenda on health policy, the UN’s betrayal of its own hunger eradication agenda, and the undemocratic method of using former leaders and the wealthy to back the UN’s agenda. The UN will be holding the Summit of the Future (“Summit of the Future: Multilateral Solutions of the Future”) at its headquarters in New York on 22-23 September 2024, during the 79th session of the General Assembly (UNGA). Leaders of 193 Member States are expected to reaffirm their commitments to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which set 2030 as the deadline for the world to achieve the 17 goals (or ‘Agenda 2030’).
Largest city in America passes reparations bill and critics are fuming: ‘I’ll move before I’ll pay’
New York City will soon be the largest city in the United States to enact a reparations program.
Councilmembers Crystal Hudson and Farah Louis sponsored a pair of bills to establish a Truth, Healing and Reconciliation Commission and a reparations task force. Both bills passed on Thursday and will be effective immediately. “Today, the New York City Council voted to pass legislation establishing municipal efforts to acknowledge and address the legacy and impact of slavery and racial injustices in New York City,” the New York City council announced in a press release.
EXCLUSIVE – America First Legal Obtains New Internal CDC Documents Revealing Foreign Collusion in Biden-Harris Government Censorship Regime
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, America First Legal released new documents exclusively obtained in its litigation against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). AFL obtained the slide deck used in a presentation by the United Kingdom’s “Counter Disinformation Unit,” to the Biden-Harris National Security Council (NSC) Interagency Policy Committee (IPC) on August 10, 2021.
This release comes on the heels of calls from House Cybersecurity Subcommittee Chairwoman, Nancy Mace, to ensure that the 2024 election is protected from the deep state censorship that was prevalent in the 2020 election. As a part of the NSC’s regular interagency meetings on censoring COVID-related speech in the United States, the White House hosted the Counter Disinformation Unit (CDU) from the U.K. government in 2021 to learn about their most effective censorship techniques.
Canada Calls Upon WHO To Counter ‘Misinformation’ With Increased Online Censorship For ‘Effective Pandemic Prevention’
The Canadian government is advocating that the World Health Organization (WHO) crack down on social media and internet content to defeat so-called health related “misinformation,” by updating the WHO’s controversial pandemic treaty to reflect that.
The WHO’s anticipated pandemic accords were not accepted this year after it was believed that they were going to, resulting in watering down some of the language that presented WHO with unprecedented controls during a declared health emergency, but with the latest draft containing more surveillance and censorship.

Images reveal remains of 'ghost city' in the middle of Pacific Ocean
Comprehensive, precision-laser surveys, conducted via aircraft over the tiny Pacific island of Temwen, have revealed just how advanced its lost city Nan Madol once was.
Sometimes called 'the Venice of the Pacific,' this megalithic stone city has drawn comparisons to mythic Atlantis — and even inspired horror writer H.P. Lovecraft, who drew upon news of the site's 1928 discovery as he wrote 'The Call of Cthulhu.' But now scores of researchers are in a race to uncover the full extent of Nan Madol's ruins as they undertake plans to preserve the city as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Their aerial surveys, conducted via LiDAR or 'Light Detection and Ranging' laser-mapping, has uncovered 'a sophisticated and extensive landscape of cultivation features hidden under Temwen Island's vegetation.'
Excellent compilation.
Thank you for doing such a great job documenting this escalation of war in Europe.
