Health Editor ’ s Note : Wind turbines are a source of renewable energy and many countries have come to rely on this non-fossil fuel burning form of energy .
A big draw back to wind turbines is that collisions with wind turbines yearly cause thousands of deaths to flying wildlife .
Powerlines also cause deaths to birds .
Placing these turbines far from migratory paths would go a long way towards avoiding harming wildlife .
Painting at least one of the blades black seems to allow the birds to see the spinning turbines and help them to avoid hitting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will not work at night and some birds do not ‘ see ’ the black blades or interpret them as things of avoidance .

do I really have to go on ?
From CNN ( CNN ) — Federal investigators announced that they have launched a civil @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jacob Blake , a 29-year-old Black man , in Kenosha , Wisconsin .
The US Attorneys Office for the Eastern District of Wisconsin said Wednesday that the investigation will be conducted by the FBI in cooperation with the Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation , the agency leading the local investigation .
Authorities had previously provided little information about Sunday ’ s shooting of Blake , which was captured on video by a witness .
But after several days of protests in the state , the state ’ s DOJ offered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wisconsin state investigators said that police used a taser to try to stop Blake , before a single officer fired his weapon seven times and injured him .

The officer , who has been employed by Kenosha police for seven years , was placed on administrative leave , DCI said .
“ Officer Sheskey fired the weapon into Mr. Blake ’ s back , ” the state agency said in a news release @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weapon .
Kenosha Police Department does not have body cameras , therefore the officers were not wearing body cameras.
” Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul said in a news conference that the other officers involved in the shooting will be identified “ soon.

Investigators later “ recovered a knife from the driver ’ s side floorboard ” of Blake ’ s vehicle and no other weapons were found , the agency said .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Blake family , said on Wednesday morning that Blake did not have a weapon in the car .
“ In the vehicle he did not have a weapon , ” Salvi Jr. told CNN .
“ I can ’ t speak directly to what he owned , but what I can say is his three children were in the car and that was in the front of his mind .
That is the most important thing to him in his life : his family and his children .
”

Why did a car dealer as a militia listed as terrorist by the FBI, their crime…ARSON…to send “guards?”
Why would the Kenosha Police be so friendly the the ‘3 Percenters,’ a Aurora based terrorist group that the FBI has put on his watch list and that DHS has warned police, the Kenosha Police, to be watching for…
Learn the facts behind this and so much more:
VT: The shooting of Jacob Blake is now an FBI case. We know why. It is tied to a series of incidents that aren’t really “civil rights” but rather domestic terrorism.
When we tracked down the George Floyd killing in Minneapolis, we found that the police there had regular “meetings” with Mossad officers assigned to the Consul General of Israel to the Midwest in Chicago. (500 West Madison St, Suite 3100)
Wisconsin is of major interest to Israel because it is a key state for keeping Trump in office. Without Wisconsin, Trump has no hope whatsoever, so the Mossad with their very large Chicago base, has stepped in using their influence over corrupt local police agencies across the state, as they have in Minnesota and elsewhere. We know this to be a fact.
Past that, we look at Aurora, Illinois. It’s population is primarily Catholic, German and their police have been tied to the ‘3 Percent Militia,’ the ‘White Rabbits’ and the KKK.
With MEGA/MAGA funding, they are tasked with intimidating the areas Muslims and the local Aurora group was charged in 2018 for the firebombing of a Minnesota mosque. This is the organization we are told Rittenhouse is tied to as were the others who came to Kenosha, not just from Illinois but from South Dakota and Idaho, all white supremacist militia members with ties to Israeli security.
The ADL loves them.
Right now, FBI domestic terror units are in Illinois and Wisconsin. They say, privately, that the violence in that region, from George Floyd onward, is ‘fishy.’ They say its all paid and coordinated but their comments stop there. We can take them further.
The Kenosha police are being investigated as terrorists, first for the premeditated murder of Blake done for the GOP Convention and for the Rittenhouse murders as well, which their dirty fingers were on from day one.
How was Rittenhouse recruited? He wasn’t protecting businesses, he was hunting, brandishing and threatening people. Where were his friends when he shot 3 people. One was shot while he was being chased. How many did he shoot before?
Who was with him? Who did he communicate with? Who paid him? Did police in Aurora, Illinois where he is a cadet/auxiliary set up this “gig” for him and clear him with the Kenosha cops?
Kenosha is now an Israeli operation. When Russia Today, which along with Sputnik News has become a pure Kosher Nostra rag, racist, Zionist, even anti-Syria, a pure defender of Israeli exceptionalism…called Jacob Blake a ‘rapist,’ we knew.
The clues are there as well and the timing. The killing was done to coincide with the opening of the GOP convention and the violence in Kenosha has been mentioned 2 dozen times during the convention as a “war on the suburbs.”
VT put a call into Jacob Blake’s attorneys but they are being tight lipped.
Here is what we know:
Video of the Blake shooting was published in 240p with half the frames removed. We want to know why. How do you get from 3840p to 240p? How do you get from 30fps to 15? Twitter handles 4k. Why hasn’t the real video shown up? We have our own ideas.
Who has the power to make sure Facebook, Twitter and YouTube will cut down or erase video unfriendly to Israel’s interests?
We see Blake reaching into his pocket. At 720 or above, if those are car keys, and we believe they are, then the police are facing jail.
If Blake is right handed, police are facing jail.
OK, another one, if you enter a car with keys in your right hand, ignition key pointing outward, and you ‘reach into your car with your right hand’ are you reaching for the ignition like a normal person with 3 kids in the car?
Is anything else possible?
Is any aspect of Blake’s behavior to be construed as threatening? Keys in hand, a man enters a car with 3 children?
How old are the kids? What did they see?
Where is the real video? Where are both real videos, and there were more than two. Why were they cut down and then removed, like with Beirut?
Let’s look at Rittenhouse.
He is Aurora police affiliated, that’s clear.
He comes to Kenosha with a militia group, the ‘3 Percenters,’ who have a history of terrorism from their Aurora base, but good relations with the police, not the FBI which sent some of their members to prison.
The idea that a car lot owner would turn to a terrorist militia, listed as such by the FBI, with members in prison for ARSON….
do I really have to go on? From CNN
(CNN) — Federal investigators announced that they have launched a civil rights probe into the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
The US Attorneys Office for the Eastern District of Wisconsin said Wednesday that the investigation will be conducted by the FBI in cooperation with the Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation, the agency leading the local investigation.
Authorities had previously provided little information about Sunday’s shooting of Blake, which was captured on video by a witness. But after several days of protests in the state, the state’s DOJ offered its initial timeline of the shooting. Wisconsin state investigators said that police used a taser to try to stop Blake, before a single officer fired his weapon seven times and injured him.
Officials identified Officer Rusten Sheskey as the police officer who shot Blake when he tried to enter his vehicle. The officer, who has been employed by Kenosha police for seven years, was placed on administrative leave, DCI said.
“Officer Sheskey fired the weapon into Mr. Blake’s back,” the state agency said in a news release. “No other officer fired their weapon. Kenosha Police Department does not have body cameras, therefore the officers were not wearing body cameras.”
Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul said in a news conference that the other officers involved in the shooting will be identified “soon.”
Blake appears to have told officers that he had a knife in his possession, the DCI said. Investigators later “recovered a knife from the driver’s side floorboard” of Blake’s vehicle and no other weapons were found, the agency said.
Patrick Salvi Jr., an attorney for the Blake family, said on Wednesday morning that Blake did not have a weapon in the car.
“In the vehicle he did not have a weapon,” Salvi Jr. told CNN. “I can’t speak directly to what he owned, but what I can say is his three children were in the car and that was in the front of his mind. That is the most important thing to him in his life: his family and his children.”

Dissecting the Beirut coverup: Ammonium nitrate not explosive and Lebanon was nuked before (hacked/erased/restored)

This article , of the dozen or so VT has done on the nuclear attack on Beirut , was erased from the VT site with 8 others by hackers…from Russia .
Why ?
Is this why ?
VT was attacked today around the world including on the front page of the Los Angeles Times , at best a disgusting shopping guide level rag .
Running scared with the ammonium nitrate lie , or rather Scotts Turf Builder , a great fertilizer .
It can ’ t burn , it can ’ t explode but in Beirut we are told it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deep in solid granite , something only done once before , by a hydrogen bomb .
That hole is not so far from Las Vegas .
We start with the text below in response to a Russia Today video where a so-called explosives expert explained Beirut .
RT has become quite unreliable for the past year , a distinct pro-Israel bias , has repeatedly attacked Syria ’ s President Assad and is backing racist-supremacist elements in the US .
RT cleaned this off , which reports the Israeli bombers at 30 seconds onward @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a fake anti-Zionst who went to RT because of equally fake media prosecution .
We recognize the “ OP , ” which we believe Snowden is as well , certainly Wikileaks but , under the blanket of Google/YouTube-Facebook disinformation and censorship , the selling of a fake narrative has become so reliable that nuclear terrorism is becoming a “ go to ” for Israel , Saudi Arabia and , of course , the US .
We begin by debunking ammonium nitrate with a detailed explanation from a mining engineer explaining how the cover @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you can ’ t make ammonium nitrate by itself explode , it simply burns .
And this is what a fireworks explosion looks like : The massive Chinese explosion was an explosive slurry , not fertilizer grade ammonium nitrate .
From here we cover issues of the use of tactical nuclear weapons and present a reasonable assertion that Lebanon was nuked in 2006 .
We begin with a mining demolition engineer with decades of experience : “ Now listen carefully , it takes a TNT detonation to initiate or ignite a load of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I mean by that is that for Anfo to detonate , it needs the violence of a TNT initiation before it itself will actually detonate .
I ’ ve watched Anfo catch fire and burn numerous times .
It won ’ t explode , it will just burn .
And if doesn ’ t have the diesel fuel mixture it won ’ t even do that .
Ammonia Nitrate is a commercial fertilizer .
The company employees were each given two twenty Kilo bags of Ammonia Nitrate every spring to fertilize their lawns @ @ @ @ @ @ @ brown lawn a vibrant green over night… ” He next describes listening to an interview on the Beirut warehouse fire where he became ‘ spin ’ suspicious , or if you will allow me to create a new word , ‘ spincious ’ .
“ I have to say I disagree with this gentleman .
The moment he hesitated to answer the very first ‘ yes ’ or ‘ no ’ question posed to him when asked if a match tossed on a pile of ammonia nitrate would initiate a catastrophic explosion , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ answering and I knew immediately that whatever he was going to say was maybe a bit cloudy and opaque .
I ’ ve worked in the open pit mining industry all my life as a surveyor and a blasting technician .
For my last two years at a large open pit coal operation in the British Columbia foothills , my job was designing the blast patterns and deciding which explosive product to load into the drill holes .
We used ANFO , a mixture of ammonia nitrate and diesel fuel .
The AN @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for fuel oil or diesel fuel .
We used a product called HANFO or what is called heavy anfo .
It was called heavy anfo because it had a higher concentration of diesel fuel in it ’ s mixture , hence the term Heavy anfo .
Both anfo and heavy anfo have to be used in dry holes .
If the holes are wet , the diesel component would wash out and the ammonia nitrate by itself would not ignite .
In those instances we would line the drill holes with plastic liners @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anfo into the plastic liners .
If it still proved too wet , we went to a very expensive product called Magnafrac .
It was a slurry based emulsion that was more or less water proof , but still , if left to sit too long , the slurry would decompose and fail to ignite .
Heavy anfo has a higher power factor than regular anfo .
That means more bang for the buck or more explosive energy .
The name of the game was always to blast the most amount of rock @ @ @ @ @ @ @ loaded .
This is called the powder factor .
The lower you can keep the powder factor and still break the host rock , the cheaper the cost .
Anfo cheapest , hanfo , more expensive , Magnafrac very expensive which drove the powder factor up .
The goal was to maintain a balance .
I ’ ve handled all of these products , loaded them , helped the blast crew tie the pattern in with DET cord and basically pulled the trigger .
We used blasting wire connected to a blasting machine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where the bad guys are trying to blow up railroad tracks .
In the early 90 ’ s , the wire and blasting machine was replaced with a much more efficient system we called non-electric blasting .
There was no electric charge produced to run down the yellow blasting wire to the DET cord and initiate the blast .
What was used was a product called ‘ shock tube ’ .
It was a small diameter hollow plastic tubing about 3 or 4 millimeters in diameter that had a very small powdery dusting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a type of your basic TNT .
It was called shock tube for a reason because it was non-electric.It is basically a fundamental shock wave generator , ( shock tubes ) either compressed air-driven or detonation-driven ) .
It produces a ‘ blast shock wave ’ .
This is the lead shock wave that then in turn initiates the DET cord , then the explosive .
To initiate the detonation there was a small , for lack of a better word , I will say clacker , that you could step on .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ clacker was stepped on was sufficient to ignite the very minute amount of powdered explosive in the shock tube that ran and initiated the DET cord which of course ran into each drilled hole filled with the actual explosive product used in the blast pattern itself .
Now here is where the rubber meets the road .
Up until now we are talking inert elements and components that combined or by themselves couldn ’ t blow up a box of Kleenex .
The key to all this were the 500 gram TNT detonators @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hole at the bottom of the explosives .
We generally used 2 500 gram TNT detonators per hole .
That is where the ignition took place .
Now listen carefully , it takes a TNT detonation to initiate or ignite a load of Anfo , Hanfo or Magnafrac .
What I mean by that is that for Anfo to detonate , it needs the violence of a TNT initiation before it itself will actually detonate .
I ’ ve watched Anfo catch fire and burn numerous times .
It won ’ t explode @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if doesn ’ t have the diesel fuel mixture it won ’ t even do that .
Ammonia Nitrate is a commercial fertilizer .
The company employees were each given two twenty Kilo bags of Ammonia Nitrate every spring to fertilize their lawns .
It will quite literally turn a brown lawn a vibrant green over night .
That practice was discontinued in about 1993 , at least at the mine I was employed at during that time span .
An automobile or truck perhaps running at speed , exploding and slamming into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be able to deliver the explosive force necessary to detonate the explosive product .
Or the shock wave required .
( or a missile or bomb ) We used to make the ammonia nitrate prills off mine site at a facility that was used by the explosive company that provided all the explosive product to our site .
This is a huge , explosive company that is global in scope .
And I will add that in all my time working with them and handling the various products , they/we used , they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ ve probably missed a lot and/or left out some information but this is all that I can recall to mind without having to refer to my various texts and notes .
So were there pumps , in this storage facility , was there fuel oil saturating the ammonia nitrate that gradually was absorbed over time ?
Absolutely no disrespect meant or directed to Mr. Basulto or Mr. Sanchez.
” VT : Israel hit Hezbollah with an advanced tactical nuclear weapon in 2006 according to Russian military experts .
Today Russia sides with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump as a shill .
While Israel bombs Syria daily , Netanyahu prances around Moscow like a Czar .
TruPublica : A thermonuclear weapon weighing little more than 2,400 pounds ( 1,100 kg ) can produce an explosive force comparable to the detonation of more than 1.2 million tons of TNT. A nuclear device no larger than traditional bombs can devastate an entire city by blast , fire , and radiation .
Nuclear weapons are considered weapons of mass destruction , and their use and control has been a major focus of international @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons , commonly known as the Non-Proliferation Treaty or NPT , is an international treaty whose objective is to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology , to promote cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy , and to further the goal of achieving nuclear disarmament and general and complete disarmament .
Five states have signed up to NPT , the US , UK , Russia , France and China .
Between them , they have declared 22,000 nuclear weapons in stock .
These @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have made undertakings not to use their nuclear weapons against a non-NWS party except in response to a nuclear attack .
India , Pakistan and N.Korea have also declared stocks of nuclear weapons .
Israel is widely known to have nuclear weapons but does not declare it and has therefore not signed up to the NPT treaty .
As of 2009 , only the US is known to have provided nuclear weapons for sharing .
Germany , Belgium , Netherlands , Italy and Turkey are still hosting U.S. nuclear weapons as part of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Canada and Greece withdrew and no longer participate .
However , the USA sticks to the old policy that goes back to 1945 – to monopolise the right to use nuclear weapons by making their non-proliferation part of international law in combination with new restrictive measures against others .
In his book Towards a World War III Scenario : The Dangers of Nuclear War Michel Chossudovsky tells us about the interconnection between the Pentagon and US corporations .
The book says the US Congress okay ’ d the use of tactical nuclear weapons @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to congressmen , it was quite “ safe for civilians ” .
In intensive warfare conditions , up-to-date tactical nuclear weapons can create an illusion of their absence on the battlefield when used together with conventional weapons .
For instance , according to Russian military experts , nuclear munitions of a new generation were used in Lebanon in 2006 during the operation against the Hezbollah .
The soil samples taken from craters had traces of enriched uranium .
At the same time , there was no gamma radiation and isotope of caesium 137 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ level was high inside the craters but went down approximately by half at the distance of just a few meters away .
According to U.S. military sources , the first detonation of a nuclear weapon against another country since 1945 took place approximately 11 miles east of Basra , Iraq sometime between February 2 and February 5 , 1991 .
By then , Iraq ’ s former capitol had been declared a “ free fire on zone ” – open to carpet-bombing by high-flying formations of eight-engine B-52s .
“ Basra is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” military spokesman General Richard Neal told the press .
“ The infrastructure , military infrastructure , is closely interwoven within the city of Basra itself.
” Though the soon-to-be fired General Neal claimed there were no civilians left in Basra , the city was actually sheltering some 800,000 terrified residents .
In direct violation of Article 51 of the Geneva Protocols , which prohibits area bombing , the B-52s commenced saturation grid-bombing of the city .
Mixing fuel-air bombs with shrapnel-spraying cluster bombs , the bombers levelled entire city blocks , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bomb craters the size of football fields , and an untold number of casualties.
” [ Washington Post Feb 2/91 ; Los Angeles Times Feb 5/91 ] With the city of Basra resounding to gigantic explosions and engulfed in “ a hellish nighttime of fires and smoke so dense that witnesses say the sun hasn ’ t been clearly visible for several days at a time , ” a 5-kiloton GB-400 nuclear bomb exploding 11 miles away under the desert attracted no notice .
Under the cover of massive Depleted Uranium tipped bombs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ explosions that rained radioactive dust over Jalalabad and nearby villages , the first nuclear bombs dropped since Basra in 1991 were detonated by American forces in Afghanistan beginning in March 2002 .
Before their field tests were concluded , United States forces would explode four 5-kiloton GBU-400 nuclear bombs in Tora Bora and other mountainous regions of Afghanistan and was so powerful that it actually created an earthquake there .
The use of such lethal weapons by US military , which is a gross violation of the Geneva Convention , has been sanctioned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ; thus they should be prosecuted for war crimes , as it is nothing less than a nuclear war .
The classification of DU munitions as weapons of indiscriminate effect is defined in the 1st Protocal additional to the Geneva Conventions .
Their use is a war crime .
The US military contends that “ mini-nukes ” are “ humanitarian bombs ” which minimize “ collateral damage ” .
According to scientific opinion on contract to the Pentagon , they are “ harmless to the surrounding civilian population because the explosion is underground.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ thermonuclear bomb , a Weapon of Mass Destruction ( WMD ) in the real sense of the word .
Military documents distinguish between the Nuclear Earth Penetrator ( NEP ) and the “ mini-nuke ” , which are nuclear weapons with a yield of less than 10 kilotons ( two-thirds of a Hiroshima bomb ) .
The NEP can have a yield of up to a 1000 kilotons , or seventy times a Hiroshima bomb .
This distinction between mini-nukes and the NEP is in many regards misleading .
In practice , there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ broadly dealing with the same type of weaponry : the B61-11 has several “ available yields ” , ranging from “ low yields ” of less than one kiloton , to mid-range , and up to the 1000-kiloton bomb .
In all cases , the radioactive fallout is devastating .
Moreover , the B61 series of thermonuclear weapons includes several models with distinct specifications : the B61-11 , the B61-3 , B61- 4 , B61-7 and B61-10 .
Each of these bombs has several “ available yields ” .
The latest in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many as the most dangerous nuclear weapon ever due to it being the first guided missile with dial-in yields making proliferation a real threat .
What is contemplated for the theatre of war use is the “ low yield ” 10 kt bomb , two-thirds of a Hiroshima bomb .
What allows it to happen is the disinformation and propaganda issued that these weapons are somehow not really nuclear weapons – they are .
Depleted uranium has a half-life of 4.5 billion years and has thus earned the title “ The silent killer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ These weapons are called ‘ micro-nukes ’ as if somehow that makes it better or legal .
We know that tactical nuclear weapons or mini-nukes are part of the US-NATO arsenal and that they were cleared for use in the conventional war theatre by the US Senate in 2002 .
Rather bizarrely , these weapons can be used without the approval of the Commander in Chief .
As prof. Chossudovsky from Global Research asserts “ the “ evidence ” of a nuclear attack against Yemen ( see video ) remains unconfirmed , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Middle East has been on the Pentagon ’ s drawing board for almost 20 years .
In 1996 under the Clinton administration , the B61-11 tactical nuclear weapon was slated to be used by the US in an attack against Libya.
” Nuclear weapons will now proliferate as a direct result of American use .
It is known that Israel enjoys the luxury of around 80 nuclear weapons , deliverable with great precision to any spot in Iran from land , air or sea .
This is especially so considering it is not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ As the conflict in Syria rages on , concerns emerge as a result of the use of depleted uranium shells ( DU ) in Iraq .
This from bandepleteduranium.org – 1/2/2015 – Citizens of Raqqa in Northern Syria , are concerned over the long-term impact of the growing number of strikes by Coalition forces on their city and nearby villages .
In a report to the United Nations on DU , the International Atomic Energy Agency ( IAEA ) warned that : “ in a post-conflict environment , the presence of depleted-uranium residues @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” .
The collective experience of communities grappling with the public health and environmental legacy of conflict , and the known or suspected presence of radioactive materials , is a contagious cocktail that can have a lasting psychological impact on the memory of people .
These concerns have now spread to Syria .
It appears that Israel has used DU rounds as widely reported in Jamraya , Syria .
It is just a matter of time before we find out which other country has been contaminating Syria .
So awful are these weapons @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vain , towards an outright ban of their future use .
The collapse of Russia ’ s relationship with the West in the last five years has ended hopes of further progress of non-proliferation as the super-powers intend on upgrading and increasing their weapons systems and nuclear arsenals .
Pakistan is now deploying short-range battlefield nuclear weapons designed to deter Indian tank columns .
Only four months ago , General Khalid Kidwai , the former director of Pakistan ’ s powerful Strategic Plans Division , the country ’ s main nuclear planning body @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ are not seen as separate weapons ” , but are “ very much integrated ” with conventional forces .
To recap – nuclear weapons , whether under the guise of ‘ depleted uranium munitions , ‘ mini-nukes , ‘ bunker busters ’ are quite simply nuclear weapons that leave a legacy of long-term death and destruction .
The UN used nuclear weapons in Libya HERE – The use of Depleted Uranium in Libya has been certified by a group of independent scientists .
Nuclear weapons use and it ’ s deadly effects @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is already devastating families experiencing profound congenital birth defects HERE and HERE NATO itself , refuses to cooperate with investigations of war crimes and indiscriminate use of illegal weapons systems HERE and HERE Type “ congenital birth defects nuclear weapons Iraq ” into Google images for a truly horrific gallery of misery emerges .

This article, of the dozen or so VT has done on the nuclear attack on Beirut, was erased from the VT site with 8 others by hackers…from Russia.
Why? Is this why? VT was attacked today around the world including on the front page of the Los Angeles Times, at best a disgusting shopping guide level rag.
Running scared with the ammonium nitrate lie, or rather Scotts Turf Builder, a great fertilizer. It can’t burn, it can’t explode but in Beirut we are told it blew a 594 foot crater 40 feet deep in solid granite, something only done once before, by a hydrogen bomb. That hole is not so far from Las Vegas.
We start with the text below in response to a Russia Today video where a so-called explosives expert explained Beirut. RT has become quite unreliable for the past year, a distinct pro-Israel bias, has repeatedly attacked Syria’s President Assad and is backing racist-supremacist elements in the US.
RT cleaned this off, which reports the Israeli bombers at 30 seconds onward:
We also burn Rick Sanchez as a fake anti-Zionst who went to RT because of equally fake media prosecution. We recognize the “OP,” which we believe Snowden is as well, certainly Wikileaks but, under the blanket of Google/YouTube-Facebook disinformation and censorship, the selling of a fake narrative has become so reliable that nuclear terrorism is becoming a “go to” for Israel, Saudi Arabia and, of course, the US.
We begin by debunking ammonium nitrate with a detailed explanation from a mining engineer explaining how the cover story is absurd. Simply put, you can’t make ammonium nitrate by itself explode, it simply burns.
And this is what a fireworks explosion looks like:
The massive Chinese explosion was an explosive slurry, not fertilizer grade ammonium nitrate. From here we cover issues of the use of tactical nuclear weapons and present a reasonable assertion that Lebanon was nuked in 2006. We begin with a mining demolition engineer with decades of experience:
“Now listen carefully, it takes a TNT detonation to initiate or ignite a load of Anfo, Hanfo or Magnafrac. What I mean by that is that for Anfo to detonate, it needs the violence of a TNT initiation before it itself will actually detonate. I’ve watched Anfo catch fire and burn numerous times.
It won’t explode, it will just burn. And if doesn’t have the diesel fuel mixture it won’t even do that. Ammonia Nitrate is a commercial fertilizer. The company employees were each given two twenty Kilo bags of Ammonia Nitrate every spring to fertilize their lawns. It will quite literally turn a brown lawn a vibrant green over night…”
He next describes listening to an interview on the Beirut warehouse fire where he became ‘spin’ suspicious, or if you will allow me to create a new word, ‘spincious’. “I have to say I disagree with this gentleman. The moment he hesitated to answer the very first ‘yes’ or ‘no’ question posed to him when asked if a match tossed on a pile of ammonia nitrate would initiate a catastrophic explosion, he hesitated for a few seconds before answering and I knew immediately that whatever he was going to say was maybe a bit cloudy and opaque. I’ve worked in the open pit mining industry all my life as a surveyor and a blasting technician. For my last two years at a large open pit coal operation in the British Columbia foothills, my job was designing the blast patterns and deciding which explosive product to load into the drill holes. We used ANFO, a mixture of ammonia nitrate and diesel fuel. The AN stands for ammonia nitrate and FO stands for fuel oil or diesel fuel. We used a product called HANFO or what is called heavy anfo. It was called heavy anfo because it had a higher concentration of diesel fuel in it’s mixture, hence the term Heavy anfo.
Both anfo and heavy anfo have to be used in dry holes. If the holes are wet, the diesel component would wash out and the ammonia nitrate by itself would not ignite.
In those instances we would line the drill holes with plastic liners and then load the anfo or heavy anfo into the plastic liners. If it still proved too wet, we went to a very expensive product called Magnafrac. It was a slurry based emulsion that was more or less water proof, but still, if left to sit too long, the slurry would decompose and fail to ignite.
Heavy anfo has a higher power factor than regular anfo. That means more bang for the buck or more explosive energy. The name of the game was always to blast the most amount of rock with the least amount of actual product loaded. This is called the powder factor. The lower you can keep the powder factor and still break the host rock, the cheaper the cost. Anfo cheapest, hanfo, more expensive, Magnafrac very expensive which drove the powder factor up. The goal was to maintain a balance.
I’ve handled all of these products, loaded them, helped the blast crew tie the pattern in with DET cord and basically pulled the trigger. We used blasting wire connected to a blasting machine like you see in the old movies where the bad guys are trying to blow up railroad tracks. In the early 90’s, the wire and blasting machine was replaced with a much more efficient system we called non-electric blasting.
There was no electric charge produced to run down the yellow blasting wire to the DET cord and initiate the blast.
What was used was a product called ‘shock tube’. It was a small diameter hollow plastic tubing about 3 or 4 millimeters in diameter that had a very small powdery dusting of an explosive called ‘pentlandite’ a type of your basic TNT. It was called shock tube for a reason because it was non-electric.It is basically a fundamental shock wave generator, (shock tubes) either compressed air-driven or detonation-driven). It produces a ‘blast shock wave’. This is the lead shock wave that then in turn initiates the DET cord, then the explosive.
To initiate the detonation there was a small, for lack of a better word, I will say clacker, that you could step on. The non electric energy released when the clacker was stepped on was sufficient to ignite the very minute amount of powdered explosive in the shock tube that ran and initiated the DET cord which of course ran into each drilled hole filled with the actual explosive product used in the blast pattern itself.
Now here is where the rubber meets the road. Up until now we are talking inert elements and components that combined or by themselves couldn’t blow up a box of Kleenex. The key to all this were the 500 gram TNT detonators placed at the bottom of each drill hole at the bottom of the explosives. We generally used 2 500 gram TNT detonators per hole.
That is where the ignition took place. Now listen carefully, it takes a TNT detonation to initiate or ignite a load of Anfo, Hanfo or Magnafrac. What I mean by that is that for Anfo to detonate, it needs the violence of a TNT initiation before it itself will actually detonate. I’ve watched Anfo catch fire and burn numerous times.
It won’t explode, it will just burn. And if doesn’t have the diesel fuel mixture it won’t even do that. Ammonia Nitrate is a commercial fertilizer. The company employees were each given two twenty Kilo bags of Ammonia Nitrate every spring to fertilize their lawns. It will quite literally turn a brown lawn a vibrant green over night. That practice was discontinued in about 1993, at least at the mine I was employed at during that time span.
An automobile or truck perhaps running at speed, exploding and slamming into a mound of anfo etc. might be able to deliver the explosive force necessary to detonate the explosive product. Or the shock wave required. (or a missile or bomb)
We used to make the ammonia nitrate prills off mine site at a facility that was used by the explosive company that provided all the explosive product to our site. This is a huge, explosive company that is global in scope. And I will add that in all my time working with them and handling the various products, they/we used, they had a stellar safety record.
I’ve probably missed a lot and/or left out some information but this is all that I can recall to mind without having to refer to my various texts and notes.
So were there pumps, in this storage facility, was there fuel oil saturating the ammonia nitrate that gradually was absorbed over time? Absolutely no disrespect meant or directed to Mr. Basulto or Mr. Sanchez.”

Pence could not control strategy to meet the challenge of coronavirus because Trump spent late February and early March issuing inaccurate claims of cures, prevention, and that the virus would soon just simply disappear, something Pence could not make happen as he was spinning wheels, dealing with administrative issues, instead of medical, safety, and practical issues to stop coronavirus.
And then there was Pence’s mask less April 28th visit to the Mayo Clinic. The excuse of ‘saving masks for healthcare workers’ to not encourage mask wearing of the general public was bogus as it would have been easy, and just up companies such as manufacturer Hanes’s alley to start producing cloth masks for public consumption which the government could have given out, free of cost.

veteranstoday--2020-08-28--Censored by Russian Government: Election America, a Perfect Storm of Corruption and Mayhem

This article was considered too controversial by the Russian Government and was ordered censored .
It was submitted to New Eastern Outlook on August 25 , 2020 .
Did Donald Trump gain the presidency of the United States through blackmailing Jerry Falwell , until hours ago leader of America ’ s evangelical community , to support a “ mobbed up pornographer ?
” We are going to be looking at this question and others .
With the opening of the Republican Convention , the “ electoral season ” in the US steps into high gear .
Every overt act by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ purpose , to manipulate media , create fake threats and divide and frighten the American people .
This is the norm , or has been , we saw it with Nixon , with Reagan , with Bush 43 but Trump will take it “ over the top.
” Anyone who thinks Reagan ’ s “ October Surprise ” was a fantasy has forgotten their history .
47 top Reagan officials were convicted of schemes that sold weapons to Iran though Israel while taking payment in tons of cocaine , leading to the “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ destroying America ’ cities .
From Michael Ruppert , affiliated with the founders of Veterans Today from its roots in the early 1990s : “ And the key to proving that CIA intended for blacks to receive the drugs which virtually destroyed their communities lies in the twofold approach , of proving that they brought the drugs in and interfered with law enforcement – AND that , by virtue of CIA ’ s relationships with the academic and medical communities , they knew exactly what the end result would be .
Knowing that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ proof , especially since the release of volume II of the CIA ’ s Inspector General ’ s Report ( 10/98 ) that the CIA specifically intended and achieved a desired result .
For anyone not familiar with the ways in which CIA studies and manipulates emerging social and political trends I can not encourage strongly enough a reading of The Secret Team by L. Fletcher Prouty , Col. , USAF ( ret. )
.
This article is a start , a beginning on the painful work that needs to be done to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suit , by necessity , will have to include room for all the whites , Asians and Latinos who also fell prey to cocaine addiction .
But this article should convince any reader that the argument is solid – and winnable .
I thank Gary Webb and Orange County Weekly reporter Nick Schou for giving me the missing pieces I had waited nineteen years to find.
” Gary Webb died under mysterious circumstances and Ruppert himself was forced to leave the US and go into hiding in Canada and eventually Venezuela .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a CIA rigged election is extremely strong .
Similarly , Bush 43 lost a popular vote but won what had been the most corrupt election in American history under similar circumstances .
He spent 8 years feeding wars , stealing massive amounts of oil , and ended bankrupting the US on behalf of the European cartel that controls the Federal Reserve .
Trump , however , has “ trumped ” them all .
An American president threatened with criminal prosecution is something dangerous .
Only in America can someone utterly unqualified gain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ destroying the entire planet .
There is nothing new in Trump ’ s meltdown but with no media to rely on , no truthtellers capable of penetrating the censorship wall of Facebook , and Google-YouTube , whatever the truth might be , only world leaders and military/intelligence professionals might know the truth .
In the US , however , military and intelligence “ professionals , ” the ones in power , are oblivious to truth or reason with rare exceptions and even the rare exception seems no longer to exist .
Comparisons are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by bombing Vietnam “ into the stone age ” while “ W ” built a fake wartime presidency while kidnapping and torturing poor farmers and cab drivers from around the Islamic world until they “ confessed.
” The war against Syria has made it clear , ISIS is the CIA , so is al Qaeda , they are now , and they were on 9/11 as well .
Those confessions justified the post 9/11 debacle of long planned regime change wars and color revolutions that have become America ’ s war on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ above full speed with Trump .
Syria and Venezuela are being starved , China and Iran pushed to war and American operatives across Africa are pushing “ policy ” by building on the CIA ’ s ISIS and al Qaeda models .
Destroying Africa , the world ’ s most vulnerable continent is a “ next step ” after ruining the lives and futures of a billion people in the Middle East and South Asia .
Look at Lebanon , wiped out in seconds with an accident even Trump claims is an act @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t just take down a building or two but rather gutted an entire nation .
The first days of the campaign “ high season , ” starting with the opening of the Republican convention , saw a number of events that will escape analysts .
That reason is easy , there are no real “ analysts ” and all findings , all reports , all scholarly papers are pure disinformation , funded by dark money , always the same , American exceptionalism sold as a product , like rancid cheese .
As with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is best settled through false flag terrorism , riots in the streets or fear , be it war , pandemic or the old standby , “ liberal communists , ” Trump ’ s favorite .
The first two military confrontations staged by the Trump administration are against Russia and China , with American planes , not surveillance planes but combat aircraft armed with heavy weaponry , making simulated attacks crossing into questionable airspace in both the Baltic and South China Sea .
These escalations directly coincided with Trump ’ s opening speech at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ China responded , which may well bring about something more drastic , perhaps against Russia or China or , as is likely the case , against Iran .
Worse still , a strange incident in Kenosha , Wisconsin .
There , a police officer shot a man in the back 7 times .
The man was African American of course .
The officer had no body camera but neighbors recorded the incident which was strange in that there was no provocation , no spoken warnings , simply a police officer sticking a gun @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as he tried to enter a car with his three children .
As of this writing , Kenosha , Wisconsin is burning but is it ?
In discussions very recently with a top Department of Justice official who oversees domestic terrorism investigations the subject of the all-powerful police union was entered into .
Government agencies have solid evidence that political organizations have engaged in criminal conspiracies in support of Trump ’ s election .
The initial suspicions were that police union officials are working for Russian intelligence , though that seems farfetched .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ have been coordinating protest violence , Portland , Minneapolis , certainly Kenosha , with police dressed as “ Antifa ” activist breaking windows , starting fires and , working with embedded agent provocateurs from right wing political groups , violently confronting police .
Several incidents that involved vehicles ramming protesters , including the dramatic killing of two protesters in Portland by a Jaguar driving speedster , didn ’ t pass the “ sniff test.
” In once case in Minneapolis , the driver of a fuel truck that drove into 2000 protesters was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ released by the same police that assisted him in his terror attack .
The driver was , we are told , a former member of a Ukrainian militia fighting against Donbass separatists but when his name and identify were announced , it seemed that the arrested and released driver was a “ ghost.
” The real person named was still in Ukraine , alive and well .
Time after time , in incidents like these or previous terror attacks such as the Sandy Hook shooting or the Boston marathon bombing , those responsible @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CIA backed groups .
The issue here is that the pattern seen in probable false flag terror attacks has reemerged in civil protests as well , both in protest violence and in violent incidents against protesters .
The assumption by the DOJ official was disturbing , that the police that overreact to protests were , in fact , also leading the violence the police were responding to .
It seems that every time a peaceful protest is planned , political operatives working with the police union will plan a violent protest as well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ delivered in advance were confirmed , this isn ’ t just conspiracy theory and police supervise the unloading .
When rightwing political operatives are arrested posing as Antifa , police have them released , though sometimes carrying the charade into a first court appearance .
Thus , with Kenosha , Wisconsin aflame on a day a political convention begins , a shooting so heinous that the George Floyd incident pales in comparison , evidence is mounting that the police union , working with political operatives , is shooting people down in the streets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and class divisions .
It hasn ’ t escaped the eyes of the public that at a time when police might well feel constrained in their normal criminal behaviors , we , in fact , see an increase in brazen killings .
Inciting domestic terrorism is “ good business ” for police under the threat of defunding .
Then , on the same day , another story broke , one that speaks to the character of evangelical conservatives and their partnership with the Trump White House .
Many American Christians were shocked when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ history of ties to organized crime , pornography , and sleaze , gained a full following from right wing religious types in the US .
Hypocrisy has always been the norm for rural and backward Christian America , with a culture deeply rooted in racism , slavery , and injustice .
Rural evangelical Christians typically have little respect for racial equality or constitutional rights .
They blindly follow leaders who invariably betray them , men like Jim Bakker , Jimmy Swaggart , Pat Robertson , and a host of others , some massively @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they build .
Mind you , only a few key figures control 30 million votes in the US with one of the most powerful being Jerry Falwell Jr .
Here is the story , as we are allowed to tell it .
Falwell is perhaps the most violent and even abusive foe of the LGBTQ community in the US .
Falwell ’ s vulnerability has been his personal moral extremism and his visible lifestyle of “ purity and righteousness.
” So when Trump attorney Michael Cohen , back in 2016 , learned that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ open bisexual marriage with their now famous pool boy , who was even introduced to Trump and his wife Melania as well , the “ love affair ” between adult entertainment kingpin Donald Trump and the evangelical right came into being .
Is blackmail too strong a term ?
Michael Cohen was “ enlisted ” by Falwell to use Trump ’ s personal influence with his backers in the tabloid industry to suppress reports of Falwell ’ s sexual debauchery .
“ Giancarlo Granda says his sexual relationship with the Falwells began when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had sex with Becki Falwell while Jerry Falwell Jr , head of Liberty University and a staunch supporter of President Trump , looked on .
Becki Falwell , 53 , is a political figure in her own right .
She served on the advisory board of the group Women for Trump , which advocates for the president ’ s reelection campaign .
She also spoke as part of a panel with her husband and Donald Trump Jr at last year ’ s Conservative Political Action Conference , or CPAC , the signature annual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ others refer to her as “ the first lady of Liberty University.
” The university , based in Lynchburg , Virginia , was founded in 1971 by Falwell ’ s televangelist father , the Rev .
Jerry Falwell .
The younger Falwell took over in 2007 .
Today , the university boasts an online and on-campus enrollment that exceeds 100,000 students and holds those who attend to an exacting honor code .
“ Sexual relations outside of a biblically ordained marriage between a natural-born man and a natural-born woman are not permissible at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Without Falwell ’ s backing , which was traded for Trump attorney Michael Cohen ’ s burying the wealth of evidence against Falwell , and we might add aided by key figures in the intelligence community , Trump would have lost the election in a landslide to Hillary Clinton .
Trump still lost the popular vote , not by a small amount but by 3 million , a figure that should be impossible or was until it happened .
According to Cohen , other key allies of Trump were recruited in much @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump ’ s special relationship with a certain tabloid publisher who has strong ties to a foreign intelligence agency , definitely not Russia .
Trump and Cohen were fed compromising information on political opponents and their backers by police intelligence units and through , as mentioned , a certain foreign intelligence agency , not from Russia .
At the same time , Trump announced a new treatment for COVID 19 using convalescent plasma .
Trump appointee , Stephen Hahn , as commission of the Food and Drug Administration announced that 35 % of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wall , citing a study at the Mayo Clinic .
This fuel a huge outpouring among Trump ’ s “ base , ” until it was found that no such study had happened and no such figure for cures could be supported , forcing Hahn to walk back his statement .
It was only days ago when Trump called on “ armed supporters , ” which have generally been white supremacist/neo-Nazi groups , to protect the polls during the election from “ liberals , ” meaning “ voters.
” Around this issue there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mail , which 30 % of Americans have always done anyway .
At Trump ’ s order , 40,000 postal boxes have been removed from the streets requiring those who want to mail anything to drive to a post office , which for some is many miles .
Then the postal sorting machines were taken offline forcing labor consuming hand sorting of mail , which is quickly bankrupting the post office with expensive overtime .
In the process , two days has been added to domestic mail delivery times , all to “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unreliable .
Do note , that since the beginning of the pandemic , an increasing number of Americans , including all military and war veterans , receive their medications through the mail , a process that can no longer be relied upon .
What is clear is this , there are groups , call them organizations , call them interest groups or even criminal cabals , that are desperate to keep Trump in office .
What Trump policies are driving this effort ?
Is it his trade wars or sanctions against Iran , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stolen oil from Syria and Iraq ?
Is it something else , perhaps as alleged in the bizarre Qanon narrative , but turned inside out ?
Is Trump backing Qanon because he and those backing him are , in actuality , the real perpetrators of Qanon ’ s conspiracies ?
If this is true , would his other acts , the blackmail , the suppression of political freedoms and his alleged connivance in domestic terrorism and his family ’ s corruption issues support a more careful examination ?

Introduction:
What we are finding…adult wife swapping/swingers clubs for evangelical ‘Christians,’ not just in Miami but near DC, Las Vegas, several in Texas, Montana, Chicago…
They are run by GOP fundraisers and Trump insiders who have a long history in human trafficking, in Las Vegas and Macao, who own casinos and golf clubs, hotels and “apartment buildings” where a certain family has 5 generations of running brothels in and around New York.
The latest scandals, that the 2016 election was rigged by using photos of a pool boy ‘doing’ the wife of America’s foremost religious bigot, forcing him to back serial bi-sexual adulterer Donald Trump…
The photos Cohen had weren’t from the pool boy but from the Miami Velvet Swingers Club where a nifty dresser and Trump friend, close to a local sheriff, picked up video on anyone targeted by Israel or the Kosher Nostra.
But there is more to the story…
This article was considered too controversial by the Russian Government and was ordered censored. It was submitted to New Eastern Outlook on August 25, 2020.
See the story, the Falwells at an “alleged” Trump owned swingers club in Miami, normally only for Russian gangsters…great video. Photos below, warning/nudity/sexual activity. Do not scroll down:
By Gordon Duff
Did Donald Trump gain the presidency of the United States through blackmailing Jerry Falwell, until hours ago the leader of America’s evangelical community, to support a “mobbed-up pornographer?”
We are going to be looking at this question and others.
With the opening of the Republican Convention, the “electoral season” in the US steps into high gear. Every overt act by the regime in Washington will have one purpose, to manipulate media, create fake threats and divide and frighten the American people.
This is the norm, or has been, we saw it with Nixon, with Reagan, with Bush 43 but Trump will take it “over the top.”
Anyone who thinks Reagan’s “October Surprise” was a fantasy has forgotten their history. 47 top Reagan officials were convicted of schemes that sold weapons to Iran though Israel while taking payment in tons of cocaine, leading to the “crack epidemic” that is credited with destroying America’s cities. From Michael Ruppert, affiliated with the founders of VT from its roots in the early 1990s:
“And the key to proving that CIA intended for blacks to receive the drugs which virtually destroyed their communities lies in the twofold approach, of proving that they brought the drugs in and interfered with law enforcement – AND that, by virtue of CIA’s relationships with the academic and medical communities, they knew exactly what the end result would be. Knowing that, we then have a mountain of proof, especially since the release of Volume II of the CIA’s Inspector General’s Report (10/98) that the CIA specifically intended and achieved the desired result.
For anyone not familiar with the ways in which CIA studies and manipulates emerging social and political trends I cannot encourage strongly enough reading of The Secret Team by L. Fletcher Prouty, Col., USAF (ret.).
This article is a start, a beginning on the painful work that needs to be done to build a class-action lawsuit. Such a suit, by necessity, will have to include room for all the whites, Asians and Latinos who also fell prey to cocaine addiction. But this article should convince any reader that the argument is solid – and winnable. I thank Gary Webb and Orange County Weekly reporter Nick Schou for giving me the missing pieces I had waited nineteen years to find.”
Gary Webb died under mysterious circumstances and Ruppert himself was forced to leave the US and go into hiding in Canada and eventually Venezuela.
The case for Reagan’s presidency starting with a CIA rigged election is extremely strong. Similarly, Bush 43 lost a popular vote but won what had been the most corrupt election in American history under similar circumstances.
He spent 8 years feeding wars, stealing massive amounts of oil, and ended bankrupting the US on behalf of the European cartel that controls the Federal Reserve.
Trump, however, has “trumped” them all.
An American president threatened with criminal prosecution is something dangerous. Only in America can someone utterly unqualified gain control of a military force capable of destroying the entire planet.
There is nothing new in Trump’s meltdown but with no media to rely on, no truthtellers capable of penetrating the censorship wall of Facebook, and Google-YouTube, whatever the truth might be, only world leaders and military/intelligence professionals might know the truth.
In the US, however, military and intelligence “professionals,” the ones in power, are oblivious to truth or reason with rare exceptions and even the rare exception seems no longer to exist.
Comparisons are easy, Nixon tried to save himself by bombing Vietnam “into the stone age” while “W” built a fake wartime presidency while kidnapping and torturing poor farmers and cab drivers from around the Islamic world until they “confessed.”
The war against Syria has made it clear, ISIS is the CIA, so is al Qaeda, they are now, and they were on 9/11 as well.
Those confessions justified the post 9/11 debacle of long-planned regime change wars and color revolutions that have become America’s war on the world which today is running at well above full speed with Trump.
Syria and Venezuela are being starved, China and Iran pushed to war and American operatives across Africa are pushing “policy” by building on the CIA’s ISIS and al Qaeda models. Destroying Africa, the world’s most vulnerable continent is a “next step” after ruining the lives and futures of a billion people in the Middle East and South Asia.
Look at Lebanon, wiped out in seconds with an accident even Trump claims is an act of terrorism, one that didn’t just take down a building or two but rather gutted an entire nation.
The first days of the campaign “high season,” starting with the opening of the Republican convention, saw a number of events that will escape analysts.
That reason is easy, there are no real “analysts” and all findings, all reports, all scholarly papers are pure disinformation, funded by dark money, always the same, American exceptionalism sold as a product, like rancid cheese.
As with most nations, domestic discord and controversy is best settled through false-flag terrorism, riots in the streets or fear, be it war, pandemic or the old standby, “liberal communists,” Trump’s favorite.
The first two military confrontations staged by the Trump administration are against Russia and China, with American planes, not surveillance planes but combat aircraft armed with heavy weaponry, making simulated attacks crossing into questionable airspace in both the Baltic and the South China Sea.
These escalations directly coincided with Trump’s opening speech at the Republican convention.
Neither Russia nor China responded, which may well bring about something more drastic, perhaps against Russia or China or, as is likely the case, against Iran.
Worse still, a strange incident in Kenosha, Wisconsin. There, a police officer shot a man in the back 7 times. The man was African American of course. The officer had no body camera but neighbors recorded the incident which was strange in that there was no provocation, no spoken warnings, simply a police officer sticking a gun into the back of an unarmed man as he tried to enter a car with his three children.
As of this writing, Kenosha, Wisconsin is burning but is it?

Government agencies have solid evidence that political organizations have engaged in criminal conspiracies in support of Trump’s election.
The initial suspicions were that police union officials are working for Russian intelligence, though that seems farfetched.
However, evidence exists that police organizations have been coordinating protest violence, Portland, Minneapolis, certainly Kenosha, with police dressed as “Antifa” activists breaking windows, starting fires and, working with embedded agent provocateurs from right-wing political groups, violently confronting police.
Several incidents that involved vehicles ramming protesters, including the dramatic killing of two protesters in Portland by a Jaguar driving speedster, didn’t pass the “sniff test.”

The driver was, we are told, a former member of a Ukrainian militia fighting against Donbas separatists but when his name and identity were announced, it seemed that the arrested and the released driver was a “ghost.” The real person named was still in Ukraine, alive and well.
Time after time, in incidents like these or previous terror attacks such as the Sandy Hook shooting or the Boston Marathon bombing, those responsible either never existed or are tied to CIA backed groups.

The assumption by the DOJ official was disturbing, that the police that overreacts to protests were, in fact, also leading the violence the police were responding to.

When right-wing political operatives are arrested posing as Antifa, police have them released, though sometimes carrying the charade into a first court appearance.
Thus, with Kenosha, Wisconsin aflame on a day a political convention begins, a shooting so heinous that the George Floyd incident pales in comparison, the evidence is mounting that the police union, working with political operatives, is shooting people down in the streets while media operatives stir up racial hatreds and class divisions.
