Kremlin warns of nuclear response to long-range missile attacks

Russia will be ready to use the most powerful and destructive weapon in the event of attacks on Russian Federation territory with Western long-range weapons, said the chairman of the State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin. Earlier, the USA confirmed that talks on this subject were ongoing.

By appealing to the United States, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom for supplies of long-range weapons, missiles, and other equipment, and discussing with them the matter of conducting strikes on Russian territory, Zelensky is making these countries direct participants in the armed conflict in Ukraine, stated Volodin.

UK approves Ukrainian missile strikes deep inside Russia – Guardian

Western media are manufacturing public consent for the move, according to a Russian senator

Washington and London may have already decided to let Kiev use long-range missiles for strikes deep inside Russia and are now seeding the narrative through the media, Russian Senator Aleksey Pushkov has said. Britain has already given the green light for the use of ‘Storm Shadow’ missiles, the Guardian reported on Wednesday, citing anonymous government sources. London, however, is not expected to announce the move publicly, the sources claimed. “The decision to strike Russian territory is clearly being prepared,” Pushkov wrote on his Telegram channel on Wednesday. “There are too many conversations and hints about it for it to be reversed. Even if it has not been made yet, it looks like it will be a matter of days. The leak via The Guardian is not accidental. Public opinion is being prepared.”

Netherlands Approves Ukraine To Use Their Weapons to Attack Moscow

What is becoming very clear is that NATO and the Neocons are out to ensure that World War III starts before the US election.

Ruben Brekelmans, the defense minister of The Netherlands, just gave Zelensky the approval to use their weapons to wage war on Russia and even attack Moscow. Brekelmans claimed that international law “is not limited by distance.” He added, “The right to self-defense does not end 100 kilometers from the border.” He has now placed The Netherlands in the crosshairs, being the first to authorize Ukraine to start killing civilians in Russia. As I have said, my fear is that they know what they are doing, and Putin has shown tremendous restraint. They want him to be overthrown by Russian Neocons, and they will not hesitate to use nuclear weapons.

Ukraine will join NATO – Blinken

The top US diplomat has repeated Washington’s talking points while visiting Kiev

Washington wants to see Kiev win the conflict against Moscow and join NATO, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said. Blinken is visiting Kiev with his British counterpart David Lammy to reiterate Anglo-American support for Vladimir Zelensky’s government. “At the July summit, we declared that Ukraine’s path to NATO membership is irreversible,” Blinken said on Wednesday, reminding his hosts that the US-led bloc has “established a command dedicated to support Ukraine’s membership.”

NATO Risks Hot War With Russia as Biden Mulls Stepping on Ukraine Long-Range Missile Tripwire

The Biden administration is mulling formally greenlighting Ukraine's use of its NATO-gifted long-range strike systems to attack targets deep inside Russia. The scenario is fraught with risks, not least of which is turning the Russia-NATO proxy conflict into a hot war that drags the US in, says former CIA analyst Larry Johnson.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated Wednesday that there was a “high degree of probability” that a decision approving the use of US long-range strike systems by Ukraine has already been taken, and that the Biden administration is simply trying to “formalize” the measure using an information campaign through the media.

Putin: Russia May Restrict Export of Strategic Materials in Response to Unfriendly Powers' Actions

Despite slapping Moscow with an unprecedented sanctions regime in 2022, European countries and the United States continue to rely on vast quantities of Russian energy and strategic materials, including gas and uranium, importing them to prevent spiking prices and shortages from wrecking their economies.

Russia is a world leader in the production of an array of strategic minerals, from natural gas, gold and diamonds to uranium, titanium and nickel, and should “think about” whether it’s possible to reduce the export of the latter three resources in response to unfriendly countries’ actions against Russia, President Vladimir Putin has said.

Kremlin’s Response to Harris and Trump: 'Leave Putin Alone'

the Kremlin requested that the two U.S. presidential candidates, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, "leave Vladimir Putin alone."

We Don't Like This. This plea came after the Russian leader's name was frequently mentioned during their recent debate. Dmitry Peskov, a spokesperson for the Kremlin, expressed frustration that Putin's name was used as a political tool in the domestic U.S. election discourse. "We do not like this at all. We hope they will leave our president alone," Peskov stated during his daily press briefing, according to EFE and Agerpres. Peskov admitted he had not watched the debate live due to time zone differences but was surprised to see Russia mentioned so often. Moscow media reported that Harris and Trump referenced Putin 12 times and discussed Russia and Ukraine 11 times during their televised debate.

China vows ‘balanced’ approach to Ukraine conflict

Beijing will continue promoting a diplomatic settlement between Moscow and Kiev, according to the Chinese foreign minister

China will continue promoting an imminent ceasefire and a political settlement of the Ukraine conflict, the country’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi has said, according to the ministry’s website. Wang made the remarks during a meeting with Russian Security Council Secretary Sergey Shoigu in St. Petersburg on Tuesday. The Chinese top diplomat had arrived in Russia for a two-day security meeting of high-ranking BRICS officials that kicked off on Wednesday.

In First, US Alleges China Directly Supporting Russia's 'War Machine' 

"These are not dual-use capabilities," Campbell said. "These are component pieces..."

Throughout most of the Russia-Ukraine war, Washington's constant complaint has been that China has ramped up supplies of dual use items and technologies which aid Russia's defense manufacturing sector. It was only in August that the Bident administration rolled out its latest sanctions aimed at disrupting the China-Russia transfers, which have included semiconductor chips, machine tools, microelectronics, navigation equipment, jet parts, ball bearings, and more. Those sanctions impacted over 400 entities and individuals, with many being Chinese companies.

Russia says it could 'combine' with China if they faced a threat

Russia's partnership with China is not aimed against third countries, but Moscow and Beijing could "combine their potential" if faced with aggression, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed in May to deepen what they called their "comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation" for a new era.

US grants Egypt $1.3 billion in military aid, overriding rights conditions

The Biden administration is overriding human rights conditions on military aid to Egypt, a State Department spokesperson said on Wednesday, granting the US ally its full allocation of $1.3 billion this year for the first time during this administration, despite ongoing concerns over human rights in the country.

The announcement comes as Washington has relied heavily on Cairo - a longstanding US ally - to mediate so far unsuccessful talks between Israel and Hamas on a ceasefire deal to end the war in Gaza. Of the $1.3 billion in US foreign military financing allocated to Egypt, $320 million is subject to conditions that have meant at least some of that sum has been withheld in recent years.

US sanctions individuals, companies in Hezbollah oil smuggling network 

The US is sanctioning three individuals, five companies and two vessels used to smuggle oil to generate funding for Hezbollah, the State Department announced on Wednesday as "part of the United States’ efforts to disrupt Hezbollah’s illicit revenue generation and isolate the terrorist group’s financial network."

The network sanctioned Wednesday includes a senior leader of Hezbollah's illicit finance team, as well as Lebanese businessmen engaged in oil smuggling and even procurement of oil installations on behalf of Hezbollah, State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller said. "The United States will not waver in pursuing Hezbollah," Miller said. "We will continue to dismantle the business networks that support it anywhere it seeks to operate." 

Iran Air to be banned from France, Germany, UK

The United States, United Kingdom, France, and Germany, have just imposed a new round of sanctions on Iran, for supplying Russia with ballistic missiles for use in Ukraine. As it impacts aviation, this includes new restrictions on Iranian airlines flying to Europe.

Currently, Iran Air is the only Iranian carrier to fly to the United Kingdom or European Union, so that’s the airline that’s impacted by these changes. Iran Air flies from Tehran (IKA) to several destinations in Europe, including Cologne (CGN), Frankfurt (FRA), Hamburg (HAM), London (LHR), Milan (MXP), Paris (CDG), Rome (FCO), and Vienna (VIE). For the time being, bilateral air service agreements are being withdrawn for France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, so it’s possible that service to Austria and Italy continues. It remains to be seen exactly when this ban will be implemented.

'Suspicious' Attack Hits US Base At Baghdad Airport Ahead Of Iranian President's Visit

"The aim is to disrupt the visit of the Iranian president to Baghdad," Kataib Hezbollah faction said.

The US embassy’s logistical support center at Baghdad International Airport came under attack late Tuesday. "The shelling, the nature of which has not yet been determined, whether by missiles or mortar shells, took place near the US embassy’s logistical support headquarters at Baghdad airport," an Iraqi security source told Sputnik. He added, "There is no information about human losses so far." "The strike, which may have involved rockets or mortars, also impacted areas near the headquarters of the Anti-Terrorism Agency," a security source told Shafaq news agency on Wednesday. 

Ex-CENTCOM chief: Lower Iranian officials can push nuke breakout without Khamenei - interview

Normalization with Saudis still possible, but Israel should swallow 2 state solution to avoid forever war.

Lower-level Iranian officials could potentially push Tehran to break out to a nuclear weapon even without consulting their Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, former CENTCOM chief and Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA) distinguished fellow General Kenneth “Frank” McKenzie has told The Jerusalem Post. In a recent interview, McKenzie was asked about recent reports that the Islamic Republic is finally advancing its nuclear “weapons group” activities – such as nuclear detonation issues – beyond uranium enrichment.

Hamas: Ready to implement ceasefire with Israel without new conditions from any party

Hamas meets Egyptian and Qatari mediators, says it is ready to implement an "immediate" based on previous US proposal without new conditions.

The Hamas terrorist organization said on Wednesday evening that its negotiators reiterated the group’s readiness to implement an "immediate" ceasefire with Israel in Gaza based on a previous US proposal without new conditions from any party, Reuters reported. In a statement, the group said that its negotiation team, led by senior official Khalil al-Hayya, met mediators on Wednesday, including Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, and Egypt's intelligence chief Abbas Kamel in Doha. A source with knowledge of the issue told Barak Ravid of Axios that the Qatari and Egyptian mediators felt after the meeting with Hamas in Doha that it might be possible to present a new US-Qatari-Egyptian bridging proposal to the parties next week.

Defeating Hamas could take another year, warns retiring IDF Southern Command officer

Officer agrees with DM Gallant: Hamas is defeated as a military, reduced to guerrilla warfare

The total defeat of Hamas in the Gaza Strip is not imminent, warned the commander of the Southern Command's fire center, Col. Y., as he concluded a two-and-a-half-year stint in the command position. In a recent summary interview with Army Radio, he discussed his assessment of the Gaza War. “It will take another year to defeat the military and governmental capabilities of Hamas,” Col. Y. said. However, he does not see this as Israel being just a step removed from victory over the group. “Will we succeed in getting Hamas on the red line?” he asked, adding: “We are already on our way there.” Col. Y. also spoke about the state of the Al Qassam Brigades, the military arm of the Hamas terrorist organization. 

Is The Migrant Invasion Part Of The Cloward-Piven Strategy To Collapse The Nation? 

"Overload the system." 

Law-abiding Americans are watching in disbelief as Venezuelan prison gangs run amok nationwide. Leaked unclassified US Army documents show illegal alien prison gangs have become a major threat to the Homeland. The FBI recently warned that migrant gangs are attacking critical energy infrastructure in West Texas while entire towns, such as Springfield, Ohio, have been entirely overwhelmed by illegal aliens. The number of rapes and murders by migrants is also on the rise as the Biden-Harris administration has clearly encouraged all of this, which - to some, could appear to be an intentional political strategy to overload the current system.

Now New York Taxpayers Are Handing $4K Per Migrant to LEAVE Shelters

New York City is paying illegal immigrants upwards of $4,000 to leave the city’s taxpayer-funded shelters in hopes of alleviating its overstressed temporary housing system. The pilot program, launched last December, has now paid out approximately $600,000 to about 150 illegal immigrant families.

At the moment, approximately 65,000 illegals are housed in the city’s temporary shelter system. One of the largest temporary shelter facilities is located at Floyd Bennett Field, situated in the Marine Park neighborhood of Brooklyn. The National Pulse reported in March that drone footage of the area indicates the tent complex likely houses well over 2,000 illegal immigrants. Meanwhile, in July, the city moved to issue over 7,300 illegal immigrants pre-paid debit cards at the cost of $2.6 million.

An Ultra-Violent Migrant Gang Is Shooting Police Officers, Trafficking Young Women And Raping Kids

The chaos that we are witnessing in the streets is the direct result of the decisions that our politicians have made. 

As I discussed yesterday, allowing millions upon millions of migrants that are not being properly screened to come pouring over our wide open borders is not a good idea.  There are certainly many migrants that are coming here because they want to work hard and create a better life for themselves.  But of course there are others that are coming here for other reasons.  Throwing the back door wide open for vast numbers of criminals that intend to cause all sorts of mayhem once they arrive in our major cities is extremely foolish.  We are literally committing national suicide, and many of our leaders don’t seem to care.

Sweden becomes crime hotbed, worries Scandinavian neighbors

Denmark and other Nordic countries cite Swedish failing immigration policy for rising crime rates that are beginning to pour over the border and affect them; criminals as young as 11 are lured by cash to commit crimes 

Sweden was once a socio-economic model — a utopia ranked high on global happiness indices, with physical and social security. However, since the country opened its doors to immigration primarily from Muslim countries, without proper filters, the nation has become a symbol of failed integration policies. Personal security has plummeted, becoming a central issue in the last election. Once a country that prided itself on democracy, liberalism, human rights and freedom of speech, one in five Swedish citizens voted for the far-right Swedish Democrats in the 2022 election — a party with roots in neo-Nazism.

Sword-Wielding Muslim Extremists Terrorize Christians, Mark Homes With Crosses in Bangladesh

A persecution watchdog is warning about recent developments in Bangladesh that are reportedly already putting Christians and other minority religious adherents in grave danger.

“About a month ago, after a few weeks of really bloody protests and bloody suppression of protests by the government, the government of Bangladesh was overthrown in essentially a military coup,” Joel Veldkamp, head of international communications at Christian Solidarity International (CSI), told CBN News. He continued, “And what followed was about a week of rioting in which Hindus, and Christians, and Buddhists all across Bangladesh were attacked by mobs organized by Islamist groups.”

Hey folks, the WHO says we need to eat more plants and bugs to combat climate change

The Director-General is calling for a shift away from meat and traditional farming to more plant-based diets, as current food systems contribute over 30% of greenhouse gas emissions and a third of global health issues.

Bigger than Blackwater: Privatization of security goes worldwide

US$248 billion global market for private security services is – for better or worse – reshaping law enforcement nearly everywhere

In August 2024, due to a US$4 million budget shortfall, Idaho’s Caldwell School District terminated its $296,807 contract with the local police department, opting instead for armed guards from Eagle Eye Security. The new $280,000 contract is just a drop in the bucket of the roughly $50 billion US private security industry and the $248 billion global market that is reshaping law enforcement worldwide.

Bankruptcies Spike Again As America’s Economic Slowdown Accelerates

Large businesses are declaring bankruptcy at a staggering rate, and yet we are being told over and over again that the economy is just fine. 

Needless to say, most of the country isn’t buying it.  Survey after survey has shown that most Americans believe that the economy is on the wrong track.  But those that are running things continue to push their “booming economy” narrative anyway, and I suppose that will continue all the way through the election in November.  Of course anyone with half a brain should be able to see the truth, because day after day we just continue to get more troubling economic numbers.  For example, it is being reported that U.S. corporate bankruptcies “spiked” during the month of August…

"Americans can't AFFORD to have children thanks to inflation"

Inflation was up by 2.5% in August but that is being spun as down. HA! Prices in August 2024 were 2.5% higher than they were in August of 2023. That still means that prices are going up, they just went up slower than they did from July 2023 to July 2024. As the Wall Street Journal points out, ""Core inflation, a measure that excludes volatile food and energy costs, held roughly steady at 3.2%."" But the Journal calls this a ""cooling streak."" It's not a cooling streak. Prices are still increasing and they are already too high. Stocks were down on this news. U.S. inflation was up by less in July. This does not mean prices are going down, despite headlines saying that inflation is ""cooling."" This only means that they are going up less fast.

The Foreboding UN Convention on Cybercrime

The UN committee approved the text of the Convention on Combating Cybercrime. Human rights organizations and information technology experts have called it a threat to democracy and the free world.

“One of the world’s most dangerous surveillance treaties was approved with a standing ovation,” wrote Austrian digital rights group Epicenter Works. The UN General Assembly is now due to vote on the adoption of the Convention in September. “It can be assumed that the treaty will be accepted without difficulty at the UN General Assembly in September, and will thus be officially considered a UN convention. After that, it will be available for signature and subsequently it can be ratified,” said political advisor Tanja Fachathalerová. “It can be assumed that it will not be a big problem to achieve the necessary forty ratifications, which are necessary for the treaty to enter into force.”

Switzerland Plans To Launch Digital ID By 2026

Switzerland could soon see a digital ID implemented by 2026, that is according to reports, after both chambers of parliament approved legislation to introduce a national digital proof of identity this week.

Following the House of Representatives, the Senate also approved the underlying legal basis for the project on Tuesday. The bill will now pass back to the other chamber to iron out disagreements on individual data protection and cyber security issues. The small chamber was clearly in favor of the federal law and the credit for the development and operation of the digital identity, approving them by 43 votes to 1 and 44 votes to 1 respectively. The electronic identity is the second attempt to introduce an digital ID in Switzerland. It is to be introduced in 2026. The first attempt – a private-sector solution – was rejected at the ballot box in 2021.

India to Digitize the Agricultural Sector Through Unique Digital Farmer ID

India’s Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced the implementation of DPI for agriculture in the Union Budget 2024-25. The approved Digital Agriculture Mission will receive a total public funding of US$335.36 million, which includes $230.95 million from the central (federal) government.

Through the AgriStack initiative, each farmer will receive a unique digital identifier, similar to the Aadhaar system. The digital identifier will be connected to various personal and farming-related information, including land records, livestock ownership, crops grown, and benefits received. The Kisan Ki Pehchaan digital identity system will be introduced in a phased manner to cover 60 million farmers by March 2025. The government’s long-term plan is to extend the system to all 110 million farmers within three years.

Archaeologists unlock 3,000-year-old secrets about creation of universe and monsters after deciphering oldest known map of the world

Researchers have finally decoded a Babylonian tablet thought to be the oldest map of the world.

Created between 2,600 and 2,900 years ago, the Imago Mundi provided researchers with a unique glimpse into the beliefs and practices of the ancient civilization. The Babylonian tablet has a circular map with pieces of text written in cuneiform - an ancient writing system that used wedge-shaped symbols - which describes the early creation of the world. The map depicted Mesopotamia - or the land 'between the rivers' - a historical area of the Middle East that was thought to be the entire 'known world' at the time. The tablet's map also confirmed their belief in the mighty God of Creation, Marduk, and mythical creatures and monsters like scorpion-man and Anzu - the lion-headed bird.

Wildfires scorch Southern California hillsides, torching homes and injuring several

Homes, vehicles and stables burned as three major wildfires in Southern California grew dramatically and became more aggressive but firefighters were hoping to get some relief Wednesday with cooler weather. More than a dozen people, mostly firefighters, were injured, officials said.

In Orange County, the Airport Fire charred cars and left a wake of rubble and ash while flames pushed east and over mountains into neighboring Riverside County. Eight firefighters and two residents have been injured in the blaze, which burned nearly 35 square miles (91 square kilometers) by early Wednesday, said Orange County Fire Capt. Sean Doran. He said cooler overnight temperatures provided some respite after a heat wave plagued the region for days. In El Cariso, a Riverside County community of 250 people, an Associated Press photographer saw at least 10 homes and several cars engulfed in flames.

China launches 200 rockets to quell heatwave, but gets a storm instead

China recently launched a not-so-secret submarine to spy on the US, and now they’ve launched cloud-seeding missles to help combat a heatwave.

A storm of underwear erupted in the megacity of Chongqing, which was targeted with artificially-created rain last Monday. The human intervention into the persistent dry weather resulted in gusts of 76mph blasting residents’ laundry from their balconies in what has been humorously referred to as “the 9/2 Chongqing underwear crisis,” reports Daily Star. The owner of an expensive Calvin Klein set that was swept away in the storm asked: “Who’s going to compensate me for my emotional damage?”
