Why are Children Coming down with Monkeypox?
[American Thinker] Are recent reports of a same-sex Georgia couple charged with aggravated child molestation and sexual exploitation in any way related to reports of children coming down with monkeypox?

How do children get monkeypox when monkeypox is fueled by sex between men? As monkeypox cases (6,000 or more to date) continue to grow across the country, there should be no confusion whether or not the rapidly spreading virus is a sexually transmitted disease.

When children come down with monkeypox and monkeypox spreads through sexual contact, where are the police reports? The report of an obvious criminal assault and evidence of sex with minors demonstrate that someone within Georgia’s law enforcement structure was on the ball. But shouldn’t children with monkeypox be sufficient compelling evidence for a law enforcement investigation?

Monkeypox sores anywhere on a child are a clear indication that sex with minors has occurred -- but it is being effectively censored. Are they making evidence of children with monkeypox go away, "like it never even happened?"

While some people who have gotten infected with monkeypox are sharing photos on social media, as they say, "to help spread awareness about the symptoms, show what the rash can actually look like and educate others about the disease," you will not see children with monkeypox sores. You see, if you wait long enough, the monkeypox sores heal and the media can sanitize the sexual assault on a child."

#8  I presume there is more than one means of transmission. Clearly sexual transmission is extremely efficient, but since the original hosts in Africa are rodents (apparently not actually monkeys), I suspect some other forms of contact work too--just not very efficiently.

Creating the Red Dragon (video)
(Rumble) Alex Newman explains how Communist China (the Red Dragon) was created by global elites and America’s State Department. When Mao was given control of China, he used the "Great Leap Forward" and the "Cultural Revolution" to become immortalized forever. Mao murdered over 80 million of his own people, but the Left still reveres him today. To turn traditional China into Communist China, Mao demanded that the "four olds" be done away with: old culture, old ideology, old customs, and old traditions. This is happening in America today, as the American Left follows Mao's strategy.

Soaring US Diesel Exports Underscore Global Fuel Vulnerability
[Bloomberg] A worldwide diesel supply crunch is making more of the world dependent on US fuel exports, a situation that could worsen heading into the winter.

US diesel exports last month rose to 1.4 million barrels a day, a five-year high, according to data from oil analytics firm Vortexa compiled by Bloomberg. Europe is buying more US diesel as the continent tries to wean itself from Russia. Latin America has also stepped up imports, in part to replace lost volumes from Europe.

Diesel prices rose to the highest ever in the wake of Ukraine’s invasion as efforts to retaliate against Vladimir Putin led to bans on Russian oil. The UK aims to end its imports of Russian fuel by the end of the year. Also, a lack of natural gas threatens to curtail European refinery operations, heightening the continent’s dependency on imports. Meanwhile, in Brazil, a leading importer of US fuel, diesel demand is set to rise during the upcoming harvest season.

"The short-term diesel outlook is one of tight fundamentals through the coming winter," ESAI Energy analysts including Linda Giesecke said. Demand may rise even more in Europe and Asia in the coming months as high natural gas prices prompt some to switch to crude, ESAI said.

The US will need to balance rising export demand with domestic needs that are also expected to increase. Agricultural demand for diesel typically peaks in the Midwest during the fall harvest months, which is quickly followed by winter heating demand in the northeast.

Shipping more diesel to Europe is going to be a "real challenge" for the US due to tight supplies, Valero COO Gary K Simmons said last week during an earnings call.

Diesel fuel shortages in New York last winter led to price spikes. Lingering tightness into the spring spurred talks of possible rationing. East Coast seasonal distillate stockpiles, which include diesel, have languished at record lows every single week since May, government data show.

Europe
Europe's Energy Armageddon from Berlin and Brussels, Not Moscow
[Global Research] On August 22 the exchange-traded market price for natural gas in the German THE (Trading Hub Europe) gas hub was trading more than 1000% higher than a year ago. Most citizens are told by the Scholz regime that the reason is Putin and Russia’s war in Ukraine. The truth is quite otherwise. EU politicians and major financial interests are using Russia to cover what is a Made in Germany and Brussels energy crisis. The consequences are not accidental.

It is not because politicians like Scholz or German Green Economy Minister Robert Habeck, nor EU Commission Green Energy Vice President Frans Timmermans are stupid or clueless. Corrupt and dishonest, maybe yes. They know exactly what they are doing. They are reading a script. It is all part of the EU plan to deindustrialize one of the most energy-efficient industrial concentrations on the planet. This is the UN Green Agenda 2030 otherwise known as Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset.

EU GAS MARKET DEREGULATED
What the EU Commission and government ministers in Germany and across the EU are carefully hiding is the transformation they have created in how the natural gas price is determined today. For almost two decades the EU Commission, backed by the mega banks such as JP MorganChase or large speculative hedge funds, began to lay the basis for what is today a complete deregulation of the market for natural gas. It was promoted as the "liberalization" of the European Union’s natural gas market. What it now allows is for unregulated real-time free market trading to fix prices rather than long-term contracts.

Beginning around 2010 the EU began to push a radical change in rules for pricing natural gas. Prior to that point most gas prices were set in fixed long-term contracts for pipeline delivery. The largest supplier, Russia’s Gazprom, provided gas to the EU, most especially to Germany, in long-term contracts pegged to the price of oil. Until the last several years almost no gas was imported by LNG ships. With a change in US laws to allow export of LNG from the huge shale gas production in 2016 US gas producers began a major expansion of LNG export terminal construction. The terminals take an average of 3 to 5 years to build. At the same time Poland, Holland and other EU countries began to build LNG import terminals to receive the LNG from abroad.

Emerging from World War II as the world leading oil supplier, the Anglo-American oil giants, then called the Seven Sisters, created a global oil price monopoly. As Henry Kissinger noted during the oil shocks of the 1970s, "Control the oil and you control entire nations." Since the 1980s Wall Street banks, led by Goldman Sachs, created a new market in "paper oil," or futures and derivative trading of future oil barrels. It created a huge casino of speculative profits that was controlled by a handful of giant banks in New York and the City of London.

Those same powerful financial interests have been working for years to create a similar globalized "paper gas" market in futures they could control. The EU Commission and their Green Deal agenda to "decarbonize" the economy by 2050, eliminating oil, gas and coal fuels, provided the ideal trap that has led to the explosive spike in EU gas prices since 2021. To create that "single" market control, the EU was lobbied by the globalist interests to impose draconian and de facto illegal rule changes on Gazprom to force the Russian owner of various gas distribution pipeline networks in the EU to open them to competitor gas.

The big banks and energy interests that control EU policy in Brussels had created a new independent price system parallel to the long-term, stable prices of Russian pipeline gas which they did not control.

By 2019 the series of bureaucratic energy directives of the Brussels EU Commission allowed fully deregulated gas market trading to de facto set the prices for natural gas in the EU, despite the fact that Russia was still by far the largest gas import source. A series of virtual trading "hubs" had been established to trade gas futures contracts in several EU countries. By 2020 the Dutch TTF (Title Transfer Facility) was the dominant trading center for EU gas, the so-called EU gas benchmark. Notably, TTF is a virtual platform of trades in futures gas contracts between in trades between banks and other financial investors, "Over-The-Counter." That means it is de facto unregulated, outside any regulated exchange. This is critical to understand the game being run in the EU today.

In 2021 only 20% of all natural gas imports to the EU were LNG gas, whose prices were largely determined by futures trades in the TTF hub, the EU de facto gas benchmark, owned by the Dutch Government, the same government destroying its farms for a fraudulent nitrogen pollution claim. The largest import share of European gas came from Russia’s Gazprom supplying more than 40% of EU imports in 2021. That gas was via long term pipeline contracts whose price was vastly lower than today’s TTF speculation price. In 2021 EU states paid an estimated penalty cost around $30 billion more for natural gas in 2021 than if they had stuck with Gazprom oil-indexation pricing. The banks loved it. US industry and consumers not. Only by destroying the Russian gas market in the EU could financial interests and the Green Deal advocates create their LNG market control.

CLOSING EU PIPELINE GAS
With full EU backing for the new gas wholesale market, Brussels, Germany and NATO began systematically to close stable, long-term pipeline gas to the EU.

After she broke diplomatic ties with Morocco in August, 2021 over disputed territories, Algeria announced the Maghreb-Europe (MGE) gas pipeline, which was launched in 1996, would cease operation on October 31, 2021, when the relevant agreement expired.

In September 2021 Gazprom completed its multibillion dollar undersea Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia across the Baltic Sea to northern Germany. It would double the capacity of Nord Stream 1 to 110 billion cubic meters annually, allowing Gazprom to be independent of interference with gas deliveries via its Soyuz pipeline going through Ukraine. The EU Commission, backed by the Biden Administration, blocked opening of the pipeline with bureaucratic sabotage, and finally German Chancellor Scholz imposed sanction on the pipeline on February 22 over Russian recognition of Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic. With the growing gas crisis since, the German government has refused to open Nord Stream 2 despite the fact it is finished.

Then on May 12, 2022 although Gazprom deliveries to the Soyuz gas pipeline through Ukraine were uninterrupted for almost three months of conflict, despite Russia’s military operations in Ukraine, the NATO-controlled Zelenskyy regime in Kiev closed a major Russian pipeline through Lugansk, that was binging Russian gas both to his Ukraine as well as EU states, declaring it would remain closed until Kiev gets full control of its pipeline system that runs through the two Donbass republics. That section of the Ukraine Soyuz line cut one-third of gas via Soyuz to the EU. It certainly did not help the EU economy at a time Kiev was begging for more weapons from those same NATO countries. Soyuz opened in 1980 under the Soviet Union bringing gas from the Orenburg gas field.

Next came the Jamal Russian gas pipeline through Belarus and through Poland to Germany. In December 2021, two months before the Ukraine conflict, the Polish government closed the Polish part of the pipeline cutting Gazprom gas delivery at low prices to Germany as well as Poland. Instead Polish gas companies bought Russian gas in the storage of German gas companies, via the Polish-German section of the Jamal pipeline at a higher price in a reverse flow. The German gas companies got their Russian gas via long-term contract for a very low contract price and resold to Poland at a huge profit. This insanity was deliberately downplayed by the Green Economics Minister Habeck and Chancellor Scholz and German media, even though it forced German gas prices even higher and worsened the German gas crisis. The Polish government refused to renew its gas contract with Russia, and instead buys gas on the free market for vastly higher prices. As a result no more Russian gas to Germany via Jamal is flowing.

Finally gas delivery via Nord Stream 1 undersea pipeline has been interrupted because of needed repair of a Siemens-made gas turbine. The turbine was sent to a special facility of Siemens in Canada where the anti-Russian Trudeau regime held it for months before finally releasing it on request of German government. Yet they deliberately refused to grant the delivery to its Russian owner, but instead to Siemens Germany, where it sits, as the German and Canadian governments refuse to grant a legally binding sanctions exemption for the transfer to Russia. By this means Gazprom gas through Nord Stream 1 is also dramatically reduced to 20% of normal.

In January, 2020 Gazprom began sending gas from its TurkStream pipeline through Turkey and on to Bulgaria and Hungary. In March 2022 Bulgaria unilaterally, with NATO backing, cut its gas supplies from TurkStream. Hungary’s Viktor Orban, by contrast, secured continuation with Russia of TurkStream gas. As a result today Hungary has no energy crisis and imports Russian pipeline gas at contract very low fixed prices.

By systematically sanctioning or closing gas deliveries from long-term, low cost pipelines to the EU, gas speculators via the Dutch TTP have been able to use every hiccup or energy shock in the world, whether a record drought in China or the conflict in Ukraine, to export restrictions in the USA, to bid the EU wholesale gas prices through all bounds. As of mid-August the futures price at TTP was 1,000% higher than a year ago and rising daily.

GERMAN HIGHEST PRICE MADNESS
The deliberate energy and electricity price sabotage gets even more absurd. On August 28, German Finance Minister Christian Lindner, the sole cabinet member from the Liberal Party (FDP), revealed that under the opaque terms of the complex EU Electricity Market Reform measures, the producers of electricity from solar or wind automatically receive the same price for their "renewable" electricity they sell to the power companies for the grid as the highest cost, i.e. natural gas!

Lindner called for an "urgent" change to the German energy law to decouple different markets. The fanatical Green Economics Minister Robert Habeck immediately replied that, "We are working hard to find a new market model," but cautioning that the government must be mindful not to intervene too much: "We need functioning markets and, at the same time, we need to set the right rules so that positions in the market are not abused."

Habeck in fact is doing all possible to build the Green Agenda and eliminate gas and oil and nuclear, the only reliable energy sources at present. He refuses to consider re-opening three nuclear plants closed a year ago or to reconsider closing the remaining three in December. While declaring in a Bloomberg interview that, "I will not approach this question ideologically," in the next breath he declared, "Nuclear power is not the solution, it is the problem." Habeck as well as the EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen have repeatedly declared more investment in unreliable wind and solar is the answer to a gas price crisis that their policies have deliberately created. In every respect the suicidal energy crisis ongoing in Europe has been "Made in Germany," not in Russia.

Government Corruption
The FBI is hiding Epstein records But we're going to get them...
[Reactionary] Your humble author, as promised, is involved in litigation to extract records from the federal government. It’s easy to talk about current events. The more difficult part is suing federal agencies for documentation of their wrongdoing.

This involves initiating FOIA requests, which are rarely answered quickly or completely. Out of our 75+ FOIA requests from this past year, only one was answered quickly and fully. A small miracle.

That was where we obtained CDC e-mails disclosing how they changed the definition of "vaccine" because of the efficacy problems with the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines. It’s a must-read if you haven’t seen it already (even if it got us wrongly flagged on the Carnegie Mellon University COVID-19 "misinformation" watchlist):

Then there are the records we must fight for.
One development we can divulge is our effort to obtain the FBI’s records on Jeffrey Epstein. We made a simple request: hand over all FBI interviews with Epstein. We know those records are out there, as we were the first to report that Epstein had been a source for the FBI. (It was later confirmed that Epstein cooperated on a Bear Stearns investigation.)

#1  What are you going to do with it? Take it to who exactly? The system of unnatural coercion called process has been hijacked by criminals. They want you to remain stuck in this appeal to constitutionalism. While they hack at your freedoms quite physically every day. Oh they'll give you some victories, they shall. Just so you continue to believe the myth is real. Democracy. Representation. Rules. Accountability. Checks and balances.

Truth is, he who holds the balls of the bureaucracy in his hands is king. And all the king's friends and whores are untouchable. The right should remember that when/if they ever achieve dominion again.

Woes Pile up for Stacey Abrams, Raphael Warnock as Georgia Election Picture Comes Into Focus
[Red State] As we reported Wednesday, the tension is rising in Georgia Democratic circles as the gubernatorial campaign of failed 2018 nominee Stacey Abrams has failed to gain traction in the nine months since she declared her candidacy. Since that time, she’s been demonizing her opponent, Gov. Brian Kemp, and other Republicans as regressive types who want to set minority voters including women and black people back decades.

But her tactics seem to be backfiring, as poll after poll has shown her trailing Kemp by comfortable margins for Kemp. And the most recent one, released Thursday, shows Abrams down by eight, the biggest margin between the two to date in this race:
"Kemp leads in every age group in the survey. He receives right at 10% of African American support and a rather astounding 68% of white voters surveyed. Abrams has an impressive 54% of female voters while Kemp receives 63% from men," explained InsiderAdvantage Chairman Matt Towery. "Kemp has support from 50% of independents. With two months to go, Kemp would seem poised to potentially escape Georgia’s General Election runoff requirement."

In the previous Fox 5/Insider Advantage poll on the gubernatorial race, taken in late July, Kemp was up by five.

As also shown above, Republican Senate nominee Herschel Walker is polling ahead of incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock by three points, after trailing Warnock by three in that same July Fox 5 poll. This is further proof of a clear momentum shift for Walker after several summer polls taken showed Warnock with the advantage, including one that had him up by ten.

Some of what’s happening here in both races, I think, is that Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan is not as popular as Democrats want people to think it is. In fact, there are strong indicators that Biden’s plan has seriously angered middle-class voters who now know they’ll be on the hook in paying for the debts willingly incurred by others, many of who don’t actually need the help.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Does Iran have a secret plutonium bomb program?
[ASIATIMES] The UN’s IAEA has reported that Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
has 55.6 kilograms (122.6 pounds) of 60% enriched uranium. The body says this means Iran is able to produce up to 25 kg (55 lbs) of 90% enriched uranium, enough for a nuclear bomb.

The real story could be even more concerning. Consider the hoary phrase, "There’s more than one way to skin a cat." Similarly, there’s more than one way to make a nuclear bomb.

The Union of Concerned Scientists has said that it might be possible to produce a fission-type nuclear weapon with as little as 15kg (33 lbs) of highly enriched uranium. The Hiroshima bomb, which was uranium-fueled, required 64kg (141 lbs) of enriched uranium.

But if enriched Uranium-235 is one way to produce a nuclear bomb, a plutonium bomb is also possible — and Iran has pursued both. It is worth considering that Iran could have a hidden plutonium program — or, alternatively, is acquiring plutonium from outside.

North Korea
...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche...
produces plutonium at its Yongbyon reactor complex situated 60 miles north of Pyongyang. It appears to have surplus plutonium and is aiming to produce even more. North Korea, Iran and Syria cooperated in building a clone of this reactor in eastern Syria at Al Kibar. That reactor was destroyed in a complex Israeli operation on September 5-6, 2007.

For the record, the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear agreement declared all plutonium production off limits for Iran. Iran was required to halt the construction of a plutonium reactor at Arak and was said to have filled the reactor’s core with cement.

But in 2020 Iran’s atomic energy chief, Ali Akbar Salehi, announced that the JCPOA-required optic was only for show. "When they told us to pour cement into the tubes," he recalled, "we said: ’Fine. We will pour.’ But we did not tell them that we had other tubes. Otherwise, they would have told us to pour cement into those tubes, as well."
