Daily Chronicles – Sticky

“We’ve got a genocidal empire to bring down and a multipolar world to build in an atmosphere of schizophrenia, ignorance, unawareness, confusion, greed, anger, jealousy, arrogance, NATO and war.” Currently we stare into an abyss.

Daily Chronicles features those issues small or large, that have the potential to change our world.

Our work is focused on the anti-human systems that have to go, to be replaced by more straightforward and honest endeavors aimed at growing food worth eating, doing honest trade, healing people, traveling, building places worth living in, creating cool technology, going to space and learning useful things – right across the world.

I appreciate from the bottom of my heart the donations that keep flowing in! Blessings to all! Kindly keep donating to keep us up and running. We don’t have sponsors at all but depend on our readers for support. There are only a handful of sites of this nature, completely independent, left. We are BRICSies, we are NOT warmongers, and are committed to a path of zero imperialism and maximum multipolarity, both privately and in terms of our groups and countries.

September 10

Russia must be prepared for any development of events, including responding to possible military aggression in any direction, said Vladimir Putin, taking part in the opening of the active phase of the Ocean-2024 exercises.  We will of course post the video and the transcript when available.

Main lines:

– Russia is holding the largest naval exercises in the last three decades, Putin said about the Okean-2024 maneuvers;

– During the exercises, the most complex tasks, close to combat ones, will be worked out;

– In an attempt to contain Russia and China, the United States is increasing its military presence in the Asia-Pacific region and the Arctic;

– The United States openly declares plans to deploy short- and medium-range missiles, including in the Asia-Pacific region;

– The US is trying to maintain its dominance in the world at any cost, using Ukraine, and is trying to inflict a strategic defeat on the Russian Federation.

There is a BRICS security meeting on the go. The Meeting of BRICS and BRICS Plus High-Level Security Officials will be held at the Boris Yeltsin Presidential Library (3, Senate Square) in St. Petersburg on 10–12 September.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Again this is a morning where one cannot look at Gaza or at the Palestinians. There are those big bombs being dropped on tents, on schools, on gathering places that were announced to be ‘safe areas’. I cannot look at the images and integrate what I see, with the world being relatively silent, or simply producing words. The UNSC has the ability to act, yet, the empirical forces are vetoing any action that will stop the war, and the current US administration is telling North America how hard they are working on a (tea-party non-existent) cease-fire.

Sometimes I have to step aside, so forgive me for not summarizing and completing the picture today.  We’ve also hit over 41,000 deaths, which is the very small number. 41,020 martyrs  and 94,925 injured.

AHH has some detail here:  https://sovereignista.com/globalsouthforum/topic/chronicles-of-the-apocalypse-09-sep-2024/#post-40612

There are not too many worries on the Russian side. They are not massacring women and children and doing fine with the SMO.

In addition, I’m working on two newish outreaches, which will be good for GlobalSouth. My chair is going to burst into flames soon – a lot of work but going well. Remember, we are not outcasts sitting at the edge. We could be fully involved. What a completely heady thought! Rebuilding our world before we shuffle off this mortality.

Key statements by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov

On Ukraine’s incursion into Russia’s Kursk region:

💬 Russian troops have the necessary plans, but they are not for public discussion.

💬 The Russian military has gained a lot of experience in the fight against drones and is showing good results.

On Ukraine’s drone attack on Russian residential buildings:

💬 The attack on residential buildings in Russia cannot be associated with military operations in any way. The Kiev regime continues to demonstrate its essence, these are enemies, Russia must continue the special operation to protect itself.

On the Russian Ocean-2024 strategic drills:

💬 Russia’s president will monitor the active phase of the Ocean-2024 strategic command and staff exercises via video link.

💬 Vladimir Putin will make a statement within the framework of the Ocean-2024 exercises.

On the upcoming US presidential debate between Trump and Harris:

💬 The Kremlin does not plan to watch the Trump and Harris debate, expectations from them are a matter for American voters.

We will soon see how the South African cookie crumbles, or not.

Israel is pressuring the US Congress to push it to threaten South Africa to block a legal case before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over violations of the Genocide Convention during the offensive on Gaza

The classified cable reveals that Israel’s Foreign Ministry is instructing its diplomats to mobilize US legislators, state governors, Jewish organizations, and other influential figures to pressure South Africa into abandoning the case.

As usual, threats are flying thick and fast.  The ICC judge that brought the case and is trying to ‘husband’ it, is being threatened something fierce.  I have no doubt that the South African government is under threat as well.

China is getting hot under the collar with consistent baiting by the Philippine proxy for hegemonic forces.

China says ties with the Philippines are at a crossroads over South China Sea

China called on the Philippines to “seriously consider the future” of a relationship “at a crossroads” in a Monday commentary published by the People’s Daily.

“China-Philippines relations stand at a crossroads, facing a choice of which way to go,” the commentary said. “Dialogue and consultation is the right path, as there is no way out of the conflict through confrontation.”

In Monday’s commentary, China blamed the Philippines for “the so-called ‘humanitarian’ problem” that Filipino sailors aboard what China considers “an illegally stranded ship” at nearby Sabina Shoal had no access to supplies, adding “the people aboard are absolutely allowed to leave.”

So, China is saying take off your sailors and take them home and let this monstrosity of a rusting junk ship that you sunk be dealt with.

German chancellor: Russia must be present at next peace talks

Olaf Scholz said it’s time to find a way to bring a swift end to the conflict, and claimed Vladimir Zelensky agrees that Russia should take part in the next peace conference.

Mood changing in Europe? asks RT

Yes and no.  The election results in Germany did not bode well for people like Scholz.  They’re trying to get Russia into a room and back it into a corner faced with a bunch of snarling wolves and force it into a Zelenski plan.   If he was serious, he would get himself on an airplane, go and see China, Brazil, and all others involved in a peace initiative, and then go visit Russia.  That would indicate seriousness.  What this is, is theater – we are watching cya theater in Europe, the US and other proxies.

Chancellor Scholz is preparing a peace plan that implies that Russia will retain the captured Ukrainian territories, writes the Italian newspaper La Repubblica.

“Olaf Scholz is working on a peace plan to bring Russia to the negotiating table. It is assumed that Kyiv will accept territorial concessions,” the newspaper writes.  According to the newspaper, Scholz wants to go down in history as the “chancellor of peace” and avoid a possible resignation.

“Shocked by the devastating election results in Thuringia and Saxony and haunted by increasingly persistent rumors that a possible defeat in the elections on September 22 in Brandenburg could force him to resign, the chancellor has decided to rely on the Ukrainian issue to get out of his difficult situation,” the article says.  It should be noted that yesterday Scholz said that “now is the time to discuss how we can quickly get out of this military situation and come to peace.”

American thinking .. Russia will ‘take’ what it is going to take according to US election outcomes:

Whether Ukraine will remain a “rump” or not depends on who occupies the Oval Office, says former US intelligence officer Shaffer

“Donbass will be taken in October. And when that happens, both sides will evaluate what to do next. And that will be the best time – if Trump wins the election – to come out and offer to return to sound diplomacy,” he says.

But if Harris wins, the Russian Armed Forces will take not only Donbass, but also, possibly, Odessa, he believes.

This is becoming tedious.  No, Russia does not make its decisions based on short-term US election outcomes.  They know it is but a fleeting moment before another one is voted in.  Lifetimes must pass before anyone even thinks of sound diplomacy.  The US must become agreement capable and they are not.  There is much that the US must atone for in our world first.

They don’t get it eh?

It seems de facto Trump is already president, as people treat his words as such. He is worried about de-dollarization and says he will make it too costly for countries to shift away from using the US dollar, by charging tariffs.

It really feels to me if the man is back somewhere in a fantasyland of reconstituted history and does not deal with the problems today. But I have an answer for him on tariffs – there is nothing a little Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions cannot solve. Making it too expensive to buy or sell today will lead to not buying and not selling, and stuff your tariffs.

This punitive action of the US in the world marketplace is getting old and nobody wants to deal with it any longer. The thing is, we cannot think of a time when there was no punitive action, so, blow it! We will make it too costly to buy or sell from the US.  When Trump started his trade war against China, they opined:  It is easy to start a trade war, it is not easy to win a trade war.  Now the US is outcompeted.   

Yesterday the occupying zionist entity pounded Syria.  They do not comment because this is routine.  It is routine to fire up the warfighters, send them to the air, and bomb Syria for no conceivable reason.  Vanessa Beeley has a full report:   https://t.me/VanessaBeeley/30793

There is one new move from China but it is not huge. They have stopped international adoptions of Chinese orphans.

Trouw: According to the US Department of State, the PRC Ministry of Civil Affairs has notified the American government that since August 28, civil affairs departments across China will no longer carry out foreign adoption work. Could you confirm the stop? And if so, could you elaborate on it?

Mao Ning: The Chinese government has adjusted its cross-border adoption policy. Henceafter, apart from the adoption of a child or stepchild from one’s collateral relatives by blood of the same generation and up to the third degree of kinship by foreigners coming to China, China will not send children abroad for adoption.

There are too many adopted Chinese now going back to China searching for their families.

Elon Musk and his friend https://x.com/shellenberger are fully on destabilizing Brazil. This is being taken as a cue to the old administration to take to the streets and major false statements are being made, example, if X is banned in Brazil, it is the end of free speech on the planet. Take a look at the photo, it is Bolsonaristas that are out on the streets in Bolsonarista colors.  While Musk and his cronies tell how the senior judge ‘broke the law’, they use US law to make their examples.  Trumpists are ecstatic.

Oct 7th, most mainstream media is carrying reports of the “Mass Hannibal” that took place. Almost a year later and it is clear that the zionist occupier again lied to start their genocidal offensive against Gaza. The world knows and the reason for Netanyahu’s war of extermination of all things and people Palestine, has fallen apart.

Former hardline opposition candidate Edmundo González has requested political asylum in Spain and left Venezuela. He had reportedly taken refuge in the embassy. The Venezuelan government issued the necessary permits for his departure.

This means that González leaves the country without facing any charges. The Attorney General’s Office had issued an arrest warrant. The other question is whether he’s abandoning the ship and leaving the coup operation to María Corina Machado (he was only an extra anyway – the ghost of Gúido and she did the speaking).

While the threat of further US intervention still looms over the country, the violent opposition attacks have subsided thanks to a government crackdown and poor strategy from the opposition’s own leader, María Corina Machado.

The saviour of Israel

September 7

OK, I know they say he is just a hard head and so very little attention is paid to him. But let nobody tell me again that the Palestinians want to wipe out their oppressors and therefore they are the horribilis in this story.

See how they play the game together. Channel 13 Hebrew: Military officials ask Netanyahu In the absence of an agreement, how do you want us to return the prisoners?

He replied: “By increasing the pressure on Hamas, I believe Sinwar will relent.”

Dmitry Medvedev:  Out of spite for the current administration, Donald Trump has threatened to lift sanctions against Russia. But will he really do it if elected?

No, of course not. For all his apparent bravado as an ‘outsider’, Trump is ultimately an establishment insider. Yes, he is an eccentric narcissist, but he is also a pragmatist. As a businessman, Trump understands that sanctions harm the dollar’s dominance in the world. However, that’s insufficient reason to stage a revolution in the United States and go against the anti-Russian line of the notorious Deep State, which is much stronger than any Trump.

But what about Harris? You shouldn’t expect any surprises from her. She is inexperienced and, according to her enemies, just plain stupid. Beautiful meaningless speeches and boring ‘correct’ answers to questions will be prepared for her, which she will read off a teleprompter while laughing contagiously.

There were sanctions against the USSR throughout the 20th century, and they’ve returned on an unprecedented scale in the 21st. So, it’s sanctions forever. Or rather, until the US collapses during an imminent new civil war. After all, Hollywood makes films about this for a reason😂.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

State information and citizen suppression prior to US election:

Many Telegram channels, those that are pro-Palestine (I detest that term, let’s just say those that speak with the Palestinians) have been blocked by using the telephone numbers of the channels.  US Telephone numbers get blocked.  For myself, they are not blocked and the only problem that AHH and I will have, is to post the longer videos from Telegram, the ones that don’t embed and that we link to, to play inside Telegram.  If you dwell in the US and other lapdog lairs, chances are you will not be able to play these.  So, what about speeches from Hassan Nasrallah for instance? or an official of Hamas?

This suppression is not new and has happened in the previous two elections against Russia.  It is now two-pronged and simply nasty!

1) Against Russian information a la – Russia is interfering in our elections is the popular one and Mr.Putin and Medvedev have been trolling and mocking the US unmercifully.

2) Blocking Palestinian information.  X already has silent blocks in place, and a friend reported with screenshots, that he gets shadow-banned (limited visibility) on posts that do not deserve this at all.  In fact, in this post he was talking about genocide, but not in Palestine.  So, don’t try to use the word genocide on X BUT LET US UNDERSTAND THAT THE ZIONIST OPPRESSOR IS ENGAGED IN GENOCIDE AGAINST THE PALESTINIANS to WIPE THEM AWAY FROM THE EARTH!  

These cretins go on to say that the post may stay, but the reach is limited.  In other words, say what you want, it will look to you as if your friends and followers see what you post, but there will be a wall between you and your audience.  Technologically this is perversity and torture in my book.

If you have an X account and want to change, try BlueSky – https://bsky.app/.  You will find Brian Mier there as well.

At the EU’s request, X removed hundreds of Palestinian resistance-affiliated accounts and has “taken action to remove or label tens of thousands of pieces of content” this week.

X has “responded to more than 80 take-down requests received in the EU within the required timeline”.

In some respects, we are not free of the fray and there are signs that I don’t like.  A small example: this is going to affect YouTube and all other social media to a much greater degree than before.  I mean, they have ploughed the fields and prepared the earth by high-profile action against dissidents. https://sovereignista.com/2024/09/05/breaking-the-ransom/  So we’re going to have to become skilled at using videos from other sources – there is a frustration level here, as the software itself becomes an annoyance.   Backdoors should be titled Blocks and Backdoors.

Do not let them break all of us into North and South Korea!  Keep the knowledge and informational and airway channels healthy.

Russia continues to successfully adapt to the sanctions imposed by Western countries on its aviation industry.

It has been more than two years since the introduction of various restrictions, but contrary to expectations, Russian aircraft continue to fly, and airlines are finding new ways to keep their fleets in working order. Russia has established cooperation with partners in the UAE, Tajikistan, China and other countries, which came as a surprise to Western politicians and aircraft manufacturers.

Russia is actively developing its aircraft industry. The new support program includes the creation and modernization of such aircraft as the MS-21, SSJ-NEW and Tu-214. These efforts are aimed at reducing dependence on Western technology and strengthening domestic production.

Thus, Russia continues to develop its aviation industry, despite sanctions and attempts by Western countries to isolate it. Russian aircraft fly, new partners are found, production is growing. It seems that plans to keep Russian aviation on the ground are clearly not going according to the plan that Washington and Brussels had hoped for.

Israel reportedly prevented American investigators from obtaining any testimonies or evidence from Israeli soldiers and officers who were active on October 7 for fear that it could be used to prosecute them in American and international courts.

File under FAFO:

The Peace Deal, in certain media now called a Truce Deal, that Blinken has been working on and advertised far and wide, was denied by Netanyahu.

Blinken claims that the deal is 90% COMPLETE and only a few critical issues need agreement.   The US, Egypt and Qatar are involved here.  With copious references to ‘our partners’, (I looked for these partners but I can’t find them), he says: “I expect in coming days we will share with Israel and Hamas our thoughts on exactly how to resolve remaining questions, then it will be time for parties to decide yes or no.”

In glaring contradiction, Netanyahu denies this.  To Fox News he says:  “Reports we’re 90% close to ceasefire deal on Gaza are incorrect. That assessment is exactly inaccurate. There’s not a deal in the making, it’s not even close.”  “… that’s just a false narrative.”

Blinken wants to win an election by announcing the administration negotiated a Peace Deal, and then continue the war while Netanyahu wants the war to continue with copious weapons deliveries from the US, while he is making a bet on Trump.

This is when Dmitry POLYANSKIY at the UNSC took out his whip.  Where is this deal that you’ve been assuring us is almost done?  Three times he asked this from the representative of the US, in various forms.

Earlier in the year I wrote a series on the Peace Train.  Zelenski started it, by starting a “Piss Train”.  The “Piss Movement” is very popular, and it is now fair to say that renowned “Pissers” Blinken and Netanyahu are winning, by “pissing” each other out of the house.

The BRICS meetings continue. This was the meeting of the Customs Heads recently held in India. Despite many questions, they are building a new world.

⚡️ One of the key outcomes of the meeting was the signing of the Joint Plan of Action on mutual recognition of AEO Customs programmes.

The meeting participants also agreed to:
🟣to strengthen customs co-operation;
🟣make comprehensive efforts to sign the Agreement on Co-operation and Mutual Administrative Assistance of the BRICS AEO Programmes as soon as possible
on co-operation and mutual administrative assistance in customs matters;
🟣modernise customs co-operation into more
practice-oriented format;
🟣develop co-operation in the law enforcement sphere.

🇷🇺⚡️ During the meeting, Valery Pikalyov, Head of the FCS, emphasised the need to unite their efforts to provide comprehensive assistance to the new members of the association for their inclusion in the processes of customs co-operation on the BRICS platform.

Since Russia ‘sped up’ in the Ukraine, it is a moment to look at this SMO more carefully, as this is the first time (at least to me) that the collapse of the front line, and the defeat of the Ukrainian operation in the Russian border areas is so very clear.

This is a moment but it has been building up!

From the Russian MoD:

▫️Since the beginning of hostilities in Kursk region, the AFU losses amounted to more than 10,400 servicemen, 81 tanks, 41 infantry fighting vehicles, 74 armoured personnel carriers, 599 armoured fighting vehicles, 339 motor vehicles, 76 artillery guns, 24 MLRS launchers, including seven M142 HIMARS and five M270 MLRS systems, eight SAM launchers, two transport-loading vehicles, 19 electronic warfare stations, seven counter-battery radars, two air defence radars, eight units of engineering vehicles, including two counterobstacle vehicles and one UR-77 mine clearing vehicle.

The operation to neutralise the AFU units is in progress.

The front line.  Note the increase in Ukrainian Losses.  They used to be around 2,000 per 24 hour period and this number has substantially increased.    Note I am mainly focusing on Ukrainian losses in this extract from the MoD report this morning.

▫️From 31 August to 6 September 2024, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation delivered 17 group strikes by long-range high-precision weaponry, including Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles and attack UAVs, to hit enterprises of rocket and space and aviation industry, critical power objects, missile artillery weaponry, POL, and logistics depots.

In addition, strikes were delivered at UAV assembly workshops, uncrewed surface vehicle depots as well as temporary deployment points of AFU, nationalists, and foreign mercenaries.

▫️The AFU 179th Joint Training Centre was struck in Poltava, where under supervision of foreign instructors, electronic warfare specialists and UAV operators, which deliver strikes at civilian objects on the territory of the Russian Federation, were trained.

The Zapad group … took more advantageous lines and positions and inflicted losses on formations of five mechanised brigades, one motorised infantry brigade, one assault brigade of the AFU, two territorial defence brigades, one national guard brigade, and the Azov Special Operations Brigade. Fourteen counter-attacks launched by AFU assault detachments were repelled.

The AFU losses amounted to more than 3,350 troops, three tanks, 10 armoured fighting vehicles, including two U.S.-made M113 armoured personnel carriers, 42 motor vehicles, 37 field artillery guns, with 21 of them supplied to Ukraine by Western countries.

Moreover, 14 electronic warfare stations and counter-battery radars as well as 45 field ammunition depots were destroyed.

Yug Group of Forces improved the tactical situation along the front lines and inflicted losses on manpower and hardware of seven mechanised brigades, one motorised infantry brigade, one infantry brigade, one airmobile brigade, three assault brigades of the AFU, and two territorial defence brigades. Six counter-attacks launched by AFU assault detachments were repelled.

The AFU losses amounted to more than 4,725 troops, two tanks, three armoured fighting vehicles, 29 motor vehicles, and 45 field artillery guns, including 18 made by the NATO countries.

Eleven electronic warfare stations and 20 field ammunition depots were destroyed.

Tsentr Group of Forces liberated Kirovo, Ptichye, Skuchnoye, Karlovka, Zavetnoye, and Zhuravka (Donetsk People’s Republic).

Losses were inflicted on formations of five mechanised brigades, one infantry brigade, one jaeger brigade, one air assault brigade of the AFU, one national guard brigade, and one territorial defence brigade. Fifty-three counter-attacks launched by AFU units were repelled.

The AFU losses in this direction amounted to up to 3,515 troops, four tanks, 14 armoured fighting vehicles, and 32 field artillery guns.

Vostok Group took 860 scalps.    Dnepr Group weighs in at 485.

There are more, uncounted, and reported as losses inflicted on brigades.

Many have said the rate of loss is unsustainable and of course, it is.  Russia is sitting back, waiting for the US or the Ukraine or some European sod to make a move toward a negotiated position, but it looks like we’re going to wait until the Ukraine has not one shooting soldier left.  Read the MoD report of today, and you will see a massive change, building up for a while now, but specifically visual in the current report.  This is part I and simply follow on to part II.    https://t.me/mod_russia_en/16211
