[Econ Collapse] Why are so many unusual outbreaks of disease suddenly happening all over the planet? We were already dealing with a seemingly endless global pandemic coming into 2022, and so far this year a bird flu pandemic has resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of our chickens and turkeys, the worst monkeypox outbreak in history has spread like wildfire in the western world, and now it is being reported that there is an outbreak of the Marburg Virus in Africa. We have already lost our opportunity to contain monkeypox, and that is really bad news. But if authorities are not able to successfully contain this new Marburg outbreak, we could potentially be facing a scenario that is downright apocalyptic.
The new outbreak of the Marburg Virus is happening in Ghana. The two victims that have died so far did not know each other, and officials believe that this is evidence that "the disease is spreading more widely"...

Election's coming up. Need a new "distraction" to allow electoral hijinx (drop-boxes, no witness signatures, dead people voting).
If men quit having sex with other men outside of a monogamous relationship, monkeypox would burn out in two weeks

40 days of darkness, raining blood, cats and dogs living together. Mass hysteria!
[TaxProf] A federal judge has ordered the University of Idaho to rescind no-contact orders issued against three evangelical Christian law students who shared their religious views with another student [Perlot v. Green, No. 3:22-cv-00183 (D. Idaho June 30, 2022)].
Peter Perlot, Mark Miller and Ryan Alexander — members of the law school’s Christian Legal Society chapter — are “free to speak in a manner consistent with their religious beliefs” as a lawsuit against university President C. Scott Green and three other school officials progresses, an announcement from the Alliance Defending Freedom stated.

Commentary by a Russian blogger, all remarks NOT in italics.
[DonRF] Ukraine asks citizens to leave the Russian-controlled south of the country because of plans to launch a counteroffensive, said Deputy Prime Minister for the reintegration of Ukraine Irina Vereshchuk.
Will Kiev try to attack? Yes, they will. Do I need to flee from Berdyansk and Melitopol? It's a matter of taste, of course, but not really. Before us is a classic large-scale information special operation. One of those that we never learned to do. And there are a lot of these operations. Terrorist attacks, for example, in the liberated territories are also special operations of an informational nature. Shelling of Donetsk and Lugansk too. The goals of the Kievites are clear - the chaos of life in the former Ukrainian territories and the transformation of these territories into a suitcase without handles. What does the shelling of Donetsk lead to, for example:
During this month, 4 anesthesiologists left for the Russian Federation. Before that (those whom I know) -3 traumatologists, 2 urologists. In some departments, doctors work on 2 rates! No holidays!
I think the picture in the shelling zone is about the same. People want to live and people leave. We must pay tribute to the enemy - pessimism and a sense of hopelessness are pumped up masterfully and to the fullest. Now warehouses and headquarters have been added to this:
So, look, good people. Ukrainian rocket launchers and artillery have already struck several times at our decision-making centers. With result. The centers are small but important. I do not write here where, when, how much, and by whom.
In order not to give out military secrets. Whoever is in the subject will understand: if the reporter Sladkov and his colleagues know, then many others know.
which adds optimism. And what is the answer? But nothing. Nothing at all. No articulation of attack plans, let's say Zaporozhye, no sudden sudden deaths of the top pigs, not even a clear voicing of what will happen next with this land. All at the level of winks and hints. In the end, we have what we have. In terms of pessimism and hopelessness. The tops don’t want to, the bottoms ... The bottoms can do a lot - provide the army with UAVs, PPE, socks in the end and a tourniquet, but they can’t wage sabotage behind enemy lines, they can’t hit decision-making centers, demolish military infrastructure and work instead of the General Staff , which is the same:
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the LPR stated that the allied forces liberated the village of Bogorodichnoye in the DPR, a powerful bridgehead is being organized for an attack on Slavyansk
decided to continue the SVO to liberate only Donbass. I didn’t decide myself, politicians, as well as about all of the above, but who is better off from that? Breaking is not to build, it's easier, and they will continue to break. To the fullest and where they can. And we will spend the resource not on development, but on patching holes that might not exist. Just start paying your opponent with the same coin. But I'm afraid... We're not like that, God forgive me. And here they are. And if anyone thinks that this is good, then I feel sorry for them.

[Regnum] Participants of the "Road of Courage" armored run held solemn flower-laying ceremonies at the Rzhev memorial of the Soviet soldier and at the Vyazma memorial complex, a REGNUM correspondent reports .
On the second day of the armored run, the participants held a memorial action near the Rzhev memorial complex. The guests were met by the director of the Rzhev Victory Museum Marina Kapaeva . She thanked the participants for their contribution to the preservation of historical memory, noting the special role of such actions in instilling patriotism among young people.
On the part of the participants of the armored run, a fragment of the wall of the Brest Fortress and the land of the memorials of the Great Patriotic War, placed in a shell casing, were donated to the museum.
From the Rzhevsky memorial, the armored run column headed for Vyazma.
On the square in front of the memorial to General M. G. Efremov, a solemn ceremony was held at the Eternal Flame with the participation of the Vyazemsky municipality. Many residents of the city came to meet the participants of the armored run.
In his welcoming speech, Alexei Migalin, President of the Interregional Public Organization for the Promotion of the Study and Operation of Military Equipment "Military Technical Society," noted that Vyazma is one of the cities where the armored run is most expected. One of the veterans of the WTO, Vladimir Popov, emphasized the special significance of the exhibition of military equipment, which aims to acquaint everyone with the military history of the USSR and Russia."
The head of the administration of the Vyazemsky district of the Smolensk region, Inna Vasilievna Demidova, thanked all the participants in the armored run and wished them a good journey. Together with Alexei Migalin, they attached a magnetic star to the destination Vyazma.
Recall that the “Road of Courage” armored run is a patriotic campaign that has been held annually since 2017. The main task of the armored run is to strengthen the memory of the events of the Great Patriotic War, to pay tribute to the memory of the heroes who shed their blood for the freedom of the Fatherland. The armored run takes place on July 8-13 along the route Moscow - Rzhev - Vyazma - Smolensk - Bryansk - Lyudinovo - the village of Petrishchevo - Moscow.
[AT] In Russian historiography, probably since the time of the historian Nikolai Karamzin, there is the term "gathering of the Russian land" or "gathering of the Russian lands. In the 19th century, this term was used to describe the process of reintegration, including through conquest, of the fragmented Russian principalities around different political centers that began in the 14th century.
On June 9, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin praised the policies of Russian Emperor Peter the Great, who was engaged in "the return of the Russian lands." After Putin came to power, the tendency has crystallized to consider the Russian Federation the heir to two states: the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. This perspective led to the legitimization of the "gathering of lands."
The lands held by the two predecessors of the Russian Federation include Central Asia, the Caucasus, the Baltics, Finland, Poland, Alaska, Ukraine, and Belorussia

I wonder if they have the demographics, or rather the positive population growth, to make this a practical goal? How do you convince the 'other Slavs' that they secretly have always been Russian?

Typical Russophobic bullshit from a Russia-hating neo-conservative Jewish emigre.
No one is looking to restore the Soviet Empire. The war in Ukraine is a civil war that is focused on Crimea and the base at Sevastopol: that base belongs to Russia, and Crinea's residents have made it clear that they wish to be part of Russia.
That and the pro-Russian Donbas territory defines the totality of Russia's interests. Not Finland or Poland. Not western Ukraine. Just the strategic regions of Crimea and the southeastern adjoining regions whose residents want no part of the kleptocratic shithole that us Ukraine.
It's a rare civil war that starts with multiple lines of invasion from a foreign nation made up solely of foreign troops. Perhaps the first of its kind.
(And why would people who object to Ukrainian kleptocracy opt for Russian kleptocracy?)

It's a civil war just like the USA resisting British rule was a civil war. Ukraine has it's own nationalism and will be free of the Russians.
They have had for centuries now, Stalin damn near starved them to death to bring them to their knees.
God Bless Ukraine, I pray they win this war and that justice is done to Russians for being this cruel and brutal in an unprovoked war.

Little known fact apparently, America had a foreign power fighting with us during the revolutionary war (France, there were others too!)

Except the USA hadn't been an independent nation before the Revolution. And, again, it didn't start with columns of French soldiers marching into the colonies claiming they were "liberating" us.
Russia invaded the Ukraine. The war there is an invasion. Sovereign nation A was invaded by sovereign nation B. That's not a civil war.

[NYPOST] The numbers are in: Red states are winning the post-COVID economic realignment, reports the Wall Street Journal, and blue states are losing.
The overall share of US jobs in red states has jumped more than half a percentage point since February 2020. And red states as a group have not only won back all their pandemic job losses; they’ve added around 341,000 more — even as blue states still face an ugly deficit of 1.3 million jobs as of May.
To understand why, look no further than at New York, where Gov. Andrew Sonny Cuomo ...former Dem dynastic governor of Noo Yawk, the son and heir of the late Mario Cuoma and formerly married to a Kennedy. Acclaimed for his leadership during the COVID epidemic, he managed the nation's highest corpse count while successfully hiding the returns and writing a book praising himself. Among the nation's horniest politicians, he had about a dozen allegations of sexual harrassment and groping against him when he resigned... and Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio ...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserved him... ’s pandemic policies — commercial shutdowns, mask and vaccine mandates and school closures — made it impossible to live and work in the Empire State. The same could be seen in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,. Worse still, these policies continued long after data showed their utter ineffectiveness in stopping the spread of COVID.
And all this came on top of existing policies, like sky-high taxes and miles of red tape for businesses, that had been pushing people out for years.
Not to mention that under President Trump, residents of high tax states could no longer write off states taxes on their federal income tax returns, allowing them to feel the full pain of the thing.
Red states like Florida and Texas, meanwhile, followed the science and never went all-in on COVID restrictionism, keeping their economies and schools open as much as possible.
The result? Hundreds of thousands fled New York and California for greener pastures in Texas and Florida. the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964... won the prize for with biggest loss among big cities: a whopping 6.3% population drop between July 2020 and July 2021. New York City was also among the biggest population shrinkers, with a 3.5% decline.
Yet red states saw big gains, with three of the fastest-growing cities over that period in Texas, another three in Florida and another three in Idaho.
That migration is now paying off big time for the winning areas, in terms of recouped jobs and general economic health. Florida, it should be noted, notched a record-high budget surplus thanks in part to the pandemic realignment. Texas, meanwhile, has been breaking records every month since January with its increases in nonfarm payrolls.
And, no, New York and California didn’t withstand the virus notably better than Texas and Florida; all four were near the middle of the pack among states, in terms of deaths per capita.
It’s clear the red states are driving our national job numbers back to where they were before the pandemic. Their sensible, science-based policies attracted companies and workers, without compromising public health. Just imagine where the nation would be if the blue states had followed suit.

When I hear the word 'expert', I think of 'expertise,' that is, knowledge gained via experience. Such is not the case in many instances. Perhaps using 'scholar' instead of 'expert' would be more accurate.
Germany shut down the Nord Stream 1 Pipeline today for a pre-scheduled 10-day maintenance period. Whether or not Russian natural gas will resume westward flows to Germany after repairs are made is anybody's guess.
The 55 bcm/yr pipeline is a key component of the energy détente forged between Germany--the economic and manufacturing heart of Europe--and post-Cold War Russia. It has also inculcated a German dependency on Russian gas that has shaped German economic and security policy (and, by extension, Europe's) since the project first entered the planning phase over 20 years ago.

Another Russophobic propaganda crappy fake news article .
Nothing , no even the junta in Washington will stop the Germans to purchase Russian gas
Canada plans to return a repaired Nord Stream 1 gas turbine to the pipeline operator July 18 and its now on is way.
See it’s funny, when Canada discreetly decides to give in, we hear no flamboyant ideological arguments from little Trudeau, or the disgusting American conservative media about saving democracy, our values, etc. What precipitated the change, I wonder?

Justin Trudeau has considerably more hair than brains. He’s fine with flamboyance, but ideology is yet another costume he puts on and off without understanding.
[JPost] I'm thinking the Democrats don't care
"All the talk of bringing Israel and Saudi Arabia closer is very nice, but the Iran nuclear threat is the only real game in town now," former minister Yuval Steinitz argued.
US President Joe Biden should use his visit to the region this week to ensure that Iran knows there is a credible US military threat if it continues advancing its nuclear program, Likud MK Yuval Steinitz said on Sunday.
Steinitz, who as strategic affairs and intelligence minister coordinated Israel’s talks with the P5+1 (the five permanent UN Security Council members: China, France, Russia, the UK and the US, plus Germany) as they engaged in nuclear negotiations with Iran in 2013-2015, expressed concerns that Tehran advanced its nuclear program significantly farther than ever before in the past year because it no longer felt threatened by the US, and that Washington-backed air defense coordination between Israel and Gulf States is no replacement.
"The whole visit is only worthwhile if it gets one result: A US military threat to Iran," Steinitz said. "That is what we have been missing in the past year, which allowed Iran, for the first time, to race to the bomb."
Steinitz expressed concern about Biden’s opinion article in Saturday’s Washington Post, in which the president wrote: "My administration will continue to increase diplomatic and economic pressure until Iran is ready to return to compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal, as I remain prepared to do." It mentions "diplomatic and economic pressure," but not a military one, he pointed out.
Before Iran entered negotiations with world powers in 2013, it enriched uranium to 20% purity; while the agreement was in place in 2015-2018, it did not pass the 3.5% enrichment limit stipulated by the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
Would the documents liberated from that Tehran warehouse support this contention?
