Deja vu: Tucker Carlson on the presidential race announcement of Robert F Kennedy Jr’s father, and his platform to end the bloodshed in Vietnam and in cities, and to close the gulf between black and white, rich and poor, young and old… [1]

This story — the attempt to turn the U.S. away from war, and from the globalist project — is bigger than the BRICS or any subset of issues that have percolated for decades. The collapse of U.S. influence over Saudi Arabia, and the steroid-shot it’s given the BRICS, is directly related to the control of U.S. foreign policy by globalists and warmongers.

Opinion is divided on whether these developments are the inevitable consequence of the rising economic might of China. It lays bare U.S. strategy — like the Obama administration’s “Pivot to Asia” of late 2011, described by the Council on Foreign Relations as one that “seriously weakens transatlantic relations, leaves the Middle East in disarray, and dangerously confronts China.”

Kennedy’s presidential run might be viewed as a last stand by a part of the U.S. elite that opposes the disarray that this policy has wrought within America itself — meaning the continent whose beating heart is the United States.

Samuel Huntington is known for his analysis that future wars would pit cultures against one another, rather than countries — his “Clash of Civilizations.” Seven hundred years earlier, during an era when kings claimed to rule by divine right, Henry of Huntingdon, the 12th century historian, had written, in his “Historia Anglorum,” of how King Canute recognised the limits to Earthly authority.

Contrary to the popular idea that Canute tried to turn back the tide, his point was the opposite: he demonstrated to his courtiers that he had no power to stop the tide.

Canute illustrates in a way anyone can grasp that the problem with today’s globalists is that they do not know when they’ve gone too far: they recognise no limits to their authority; they presume to re-invent the Earth. As Sergei Brin, co-founder of Google, told Elon Musk, he wants AI (artificial intelligence) to become “god” and dismissed Musk’s argument to his “former friend” that AI threatened human life. Brin accused Musk of “speciesism” — the human-held belief that all other animal species are inferior.

We have strayed somewhat off track but the point is to show that we are not simply in a historical “pivot” as was claimed for the year 1913. Just as 110 years ago, powers as well as principalities are manipulating the world.

The trap

The “father” of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew, told Graham Allison, author of Destined for War: Can America and China Escape Thucydides's Trap? (2017):

“The size of China’s displacement of the world balance is such that the world must find a new balance. It is not possible to pretend that this is just another big player. This is the biggest player in the history of the world.”

RFK Jr confronts a different world to that which his father addressed in the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, more than 50 years ago.

It is more fluid, yet the certainties have evaporated — this is the process of distillation. The making of spirits is apt as a metaphor: the poisonous alcohols that are the first to escape are known as the esters but also the angels’ share: for the honest distiller knows he must lose some of the contents of his still. The greedy distiller retains those poisonous chemicals in his mix and risks blinding or killing his customers.

Here is the routine familiar to the usurer and the mafia: do you cultivate those who yield fruit or squeeze the pips? This is the junction that Western society confronts.

The uniparty

Few television channels covered Kennedy’s announcement in Boston. Rather most dismissed him with accusations of anti-vaxxer or conspiracy theorist. There is no irony in the fact that Kennedy’s father and uncle were both killed in conspiracies. The establishment is going to pull out all the stops (please, God, not the guns again) to derail Kennedy.

The deep state need not go so far: much of the population has been trained in self-censorship. The very issue for which Kennedy is known, his campaigning on vaccines, will be used to turn away those in the electorate who refuse to consider that the ’coof shot could be in any way dangerous. As Jim Breuer noted on Joe Rogan’s podcast, the injured and their relatives will do anything to avoid blaming the shot.

The establishment uniparty already has the minds, if not the hearts, of many people, having created group think, having schooled people to reject individual opinions and experience, and to argue only from authority.

His security and his best electoral chance is to form a unity ticket with Donald Trump, as proposed by political strategist Roger Stone, and to do so as soon as possible, drawing on the support of those few billionaire oligarchs who oppose the medical-martial tyranny.

Dominion Smart-mastic

Fox News agreed to pay almost $800 million to Dominion Voting Systems in a defamation case.

This is not about politics but probability.

The odd thing is that Fox called Arizona for Biden in Nov 2020 ridiculously early and was effectively part of the same gaslighting operation as Dominion to convince the American population that a man with dementia who had barely left his basement overturned Trump’s massive rallies to gain the most votes in history.

Just believe... cue The Polar Express soundtrack...

So why settle? Did Rupert Murdoch, 92, simply not want to testify or was Fox concerned that the case would highlight its own role in the 2020 election — the Arizona call which caused many Fox viewers to abandon the network? Was $787 million a small price to pay to avoid further damage to the brand... rather than an admission of Dominion's claims?

Given the corrupt judiciary which refused even to hear a challenge to the 2020 result, it is no surprised that in the Dominion case the judge made biased statements that Fox had broadcast untruths. Fox may have known it was going to lose and simply cut its losses.

Remember that the hackability and vulnerability of Dominion and Smartmatic was a concern to the Democratic Party in 2016. They simply changed their tune in 2020.

Dominion/Smartmatic was criticised by the U.S. State Department when it accused the late Hugo Chavez of manipulating elections in Venezuela, where the Smartmatic system was created.

Dominion went after the messenger. It has not so far sued Mike Lindell, Dinesh D’Souza or any of the investigators who found wrongdoing at state and county level in 2020 and again in 2022. Lindell even went on Fox to challenge Dominion to sue him, saying he would like to set out his evidence in court.

Murdoch’s preference for the shadow over the light does not relfect well on the news media but we already know that. Ultimately, Murdoch is a globalist and he has served the globalist cause by appearing to validate Dominion

He has done what he needed to do to confirm the globalist narrative. He folded, in order to justify Dominion’s claim.

The U.S. Justice department is going to ramp up prosecutions relating to January 6th, 2021 and will also now show-trial people involved in the Charlottesville psyop.

I honestly never thought I would see this. I buried myself in books about the Soviet Union safe in the knowledge that I was viewing from the other side of the wall. Apparently not so.

Nuclear winter

Germany turns off its last nuclear power stations. Wolfgang Kubicki, deputy leader of the Free Democrats, said it was a “dramatic mistake.” The Berlin regime’s spokesman called it a “done deal.” Comment on Watts Up With That:

“We have known for many decades that nuclear power is a better long term source of power than solar, but then we have also known for decades that the Greens will oppose anything that can actually work.”

Big-three asset manager BlackRock is a founding member of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures and a signatory of the UN PRI — Principles for Responsible Investing, a network of investors pushing zero carbon and ESG.

In his 2021 CEO letter, Fink doubled down on the attack on oil, gas and coal:

“Given how central the energy transition will be to every company’s growth prospects, we are asking companies to disclose a plan for how their business model will be compatible with a net zero economy.”

Developing countries that opted not to participate in the closure of their energy industries at the behest of the United Nations are still being hit by Western companies pulling investment. [2]

Nigeria has suffered $21 billion dollars of divestment under environmental social and governance strategies. International oil companies are reconsidering their upstream and downstream operations worldwide, which threatens the future of developing countries. [3]

Oil majors are turning off the investment spigot before these countries have had time to transiton to natural gas as a half-way house to renewables, according to Ainojie Alex Irune, CEO of Oando Energy Resources, quoted in Oil Price. Cyril Widdershoven writes:

“The future of Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa is at stake, and according to a growing amount of Southern leaders and analysts, it is time to reassess strategies and policies pushed by the North without delay. The divestment strategies being pushed by Western climate change and IPCC/IEA reports are not only controversial but now counterproductive for most developing countries.”

Sudan’s civil war accelerates. South Sudan exports its oil through Sudan, its sole link to export markets. So far oil exports have not been affected and Sudan’s pipeline has not been targeted.

The 450,000 bpd pipeline that runs from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq to the Turkish port of Ceyhan was still offline as of the time of writing early on Friday morning.

Fake Ecology

Real Ecology

Western NGO-led “conservation funding” criticized as new publication “Decolonize Conservation: Global Voices for Indigenous Self-determination” exposes how the eco movement is often used to evict local people...

... isn't this curiously the same MO as Agenda21, rewilding, the nitrogen restrictions on farms, 15-minute cities? [4]

Norwegian research a few years ago found the majority of charity made its way back to the donor country and often impoverished the recipient. It is hardly surprising that all the big nature conservancies are fronted by royals and artistocrats — they are an extension of centuries old colonialism.

This might upset readers of The Guardian but remember why the newspaper features the topic so heavily: it is where many NGO and government jobs are advertised so, in effect, it participates in the effort to colonize the market for eco careers.

Similarly the top-end United Nations jobs are often featured in Rothschild-owned The Economist. The UN is seeking candidates among those who exhibit right think — so one could say that The Economist has also colonised the mind.

If that’s not enough counter-logic, rice, a staple of billions, must be curtailed.

“Rice is to blame for around 10 percent of global emissions of methane, a gas that over two decades, traps about 80 times as much heat as carbon dioxide,” writes AFP. There is already a rice shortage in South Asia, the largest shortfall for 20 years. China only produces 60 per cent of the food it consumers. Food depends on access to the sea lanes which would shut down in the event of war. Cyclical student Charles Nenner reckons 30 per cent of the population faces death in the next war cycle.

The Daily Mail blames Russia for up to 50 per cent rise in price of some supermarket staples: chocolate, orange juice, cheddar, baked beans. Of course this has nothing to do with Russia.

Unwilling dissident

In the free West, meanwhile, the Department of Justice criminalizes dissent:

Sowing discord is not an offence.
Influencing electors is not an offence.
Unless and until the DoJ declares that it is, when you go against the war machine and the Democratic Party.

Progressives claim to side with Black people against “white supremacy,” domestic terrorism and crime — using those topics to expand the state — and then turn the state against Black people, Indigenous people and the workers. Actually nothing’s changed since the 1960s, Nick Cruse tells Glenn Greenwald.

Long story, short

Costly study fails to prove “Long Covid” is a thing, or produce any treatment, despite two years and $1.2 billion. The perceived ailment, lavishly promoted in The Guardian, is strangely elusive in scientific circles.

“In 2020, Congress made an investment of $1.2 billion to learn more about the mysterious ongoing symptoms that were afflicting some people infected with Covid-19. That sort of money to fund research into a chronic condition like long Covid was virtually unheard of.
The money was explicitly earmarked to fund both research to understand the disease and clinical trials to test treatments that could bring patients relief. But more than two years in, the agency hasn’t started testing a single treatment. Nor is it planning to test many in the future. Instead, it’s focused on observational research — and that, too, has produced few insights.” [6]

Racist Covid

Across the northern border Public Health Agency of Canada released a report on climate change and its impact on Canadians’ wellbeing.

The report alleged that white supremacy, capitalism, colonialism, and racism were all “systemic drivers of negative health outcomes and climate change,” and therefore the only way forward is via a plan focused on “decolonizing, justice, and equity.” [7]

Meanwhile 600,000 U.S. citizens per year are dying, over and above the normal rate, says insurance professional Josh Sterling. [8]

Ukraine war

Both Russia's and Ukraine's presidents visited front line troops in Easter week, in Kherson and the Donbass region respectively.

Zelenskiy says he wants Ukraine to be a “big Israel.” That’s is road map. He tells the Atlantic Council about the plan for Greater Israel that we highlighted three years ago when it popped up in Israeli newspapers, later to be reframed as satire. It is a topic strangely absent from the best-funded, most promoted sectors of the alt media. [9]

Of course Z presents it as a vote for security. But security for whom? We cannot resist an old joke of students of English in Russia:

How do you do?
To whom, how?

Offcuts and offal

A campaign video for President Biden is said to be in production and donors are being mobilized, for a run that could be announced early next week.

Daily Telegraph: Putin is planning to attack Britain; Russian spy ships are mapping wind farms and key cables off the British coast.

Facebook has decided to label US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh’s article on the Nord Stream sabotage as “false information.”

The Guardian recalls the history of cassolada, public banging of pots and pans, after Macron's complaint but completely ignores that governments encouraged the practice in the clap for carers.

From Twitter: “The 5G network must be costing a fortune to roll out. Yet 3G/4G seems to be perfectly adequate and inherently future proofed for the vast majority of users. The question is, what is the real purpose of 5G?”

As for the Pentagon leak, former CIA officials say there is no way a National Guardsman would have got anywhere close to some of these documents, which most likely originated with the Director of National Intelligence.

mRNA gene therapy is coming to the food supply as early as this month. UK’s King Charles signs law that does not require GMO or mRNA foood to be labeled as such. He eats his own organic produce.

The U.S. has warned Russian authorities not to touch the “sensitive nuclear technology” in Ukraine — what could they be other than nuclear weapons? Then there’s the bio labs.

Russian hackers organised along the lines of the paramilitary Wagner group are seeking “to disrupt or destroy” parts of the UK’s critical national infrastructure, a cabinet minister Oliver Dowden will tell a cyber conference in Belfast on Wednesday. That would be after someone blew up Russia's $11 billion gas pipeline to Europe.

Russia has targeted the Ukrainian capital with Iranian Shahed drones for the first time in almost a month, officials in Kyiv said. Germany says it’s too early to discuss Ukraine’s entry into NATO.

Aux barricades!

Protesters in France burst into the Paris Stock Exchange, Euronext.

“Not long ago they stormed the headquarters of BlackRock. The protesters know who’s destroying their country: The rich puppeteers who corrupt politics around the world. Vive la France” — Kim Dotcom.

Last year a ban was lifted on the use of drones in France for crowd monitoring, surveillance, and other enforcement activity. [10]
