    Modi & Diamonds

    I saw last week something Mercouris reminded us last night: the ostensible attack on Russia’s diamond industry is really an attack on Modi personally. A major herding stick to get India to betray multipolarity. Russia and Africa may have the most diamond mines, but in the world’s largest office building in Surat, Gujarat state of India, called the Surat Diamond Bourse, is where “about 90% of the world’s diamonds supply are cut and polished”…. which also happens to be Modi’s hometown and major political constituency!

    Talk about playing dirty.

    And note Anglo-Belgians will also be torched in this underhanded great decoupling, given the role of Antwerp and De Beers in the diamond business. A role, like Lloyd’s and the maritime insurance market, once lost never to be regained..

    Tid-bits about new drone and tech facilities in Russia.

    “The National Import Substitution Center in Moscow will be expanded by 2.5 times

    This is about the Rudnevo industrial park, which was inspected by Vladimir Putin in the spring.

    Now 18 production buildings have been built on the territory. All enterprises receive unprecedented tax and customs privileges. An increase in the area will make it possible to create another 15-20 thousand new jobs in “Rudnevo” (Nekrasovka metro station).

    An inter-industry UAV center is being created on the basis of the industrial park, and domestic production of ATMs, electric capacitors, prostheses, medical scanners and other medical products has already appeared here.”

    “Gazprombank bought the Mega shopping center chain.

    Earlier the chain belonged to Swedish Ingka Centres. The total area of the shopping centers is 2.3 million square meters, the bank told RIA Novosti.

    The company received 14 shopping centers in Moscow, Moscow Region, Leningrad Region, Omsk, Ufa, Rostov-on-Don and other cities.

    Gazprombank has stepped in… and the majority participant is the state….. nationalization is in full swing.
    I wonder if they will turn a shopping center into a lancet factory? The experience has already happened…”

    BTW, the placebo effect is real. Doc Brinkley did confer useful service, as do all quacks. It exists in all nations, through all eras, at hands of all types of shamans, witch-doctors or licensed doctors. Much remains unclear.

    What is clear is the human mind is behind the misperception of a lot of ills, which is then resolved with a change of mindset during the placebo effect…. All this is known for eons. What is more interesting in this our era of the mindwars and remote aggression by the Five Eyes + Big Pharma combine, is the range of increased psychological manipulation resulting in enhanced misperception of illness and impairment. There are many ways to skin the depopulation cat.

    How many societies are being driven to suicide through poor [assumed] health, decreased fertility, maladaptive traits and behaviors, and to otherwise act against their own interests, solely due to the machinations of these foreign actors?? It appears highly successful in the West. Not so in Russia, China, Iran and many established civilization-state hostiles, and with intermediary effect on the fence-sitters and less assertive or hefty nations.. As it takes a village to properly raise a child, it will take civilizational weight to fend off the satanic legions rampaging in this crazy era.

    Thanks, the stories never lose their gloss, indeed they enhance with time as the con is rewound for naive generations.. Now the US gov itself underwrites the con as with covid!

    Note in the photo above, the way the operating room (OR) staff wear their masks. It is more based on ritual than true hygiene. The con is easier to pick up early in the process. Their noses aren’t even covered! and the simple cotton material available then was useless for protecting either the wearer or the patient — like expecting mosquitoes to be kept out by chain-link fencing. Scientific studies up to the 1980s comparing OR staff wearing masks vs no masks found no difference in outcomes for the patient…

    but like the actor wearing his outfit for the play, it helps induce compliance, patience, deference and less fuss in paying customers to the OR. It does help the OR staff too, getting them in the proper frame of mind, a useful ritual; this psychological prop is actually commendable and saves patients’ lives. But as for infection control and prevention, the masks are useless. Hand washing and hygiene trumps all other measures combined, including disinfecting the rooms, gowns, head covers, booties, goggles, face shields, death-rays, UV-zapping of instrumentation, etc.. What’s on the hands and ties of male doctors, generously spread around, has killed more through nosocomial infections than any other culprit! Masks are tools of submission and control of the onlooker and participant of the ritual….

    Kwiatkowski: “… What came after Bill Clinton’s election were small wars overseas, limits on federal spending, and saxophones. After Lincoln’s 1860 election, our divided angry nation blew up, with other countries choosing sides, and sending aid to the American combatants on both sides.” Yes, cheaper to fund insurgency and implosion rather than invasion. It’s gonna get interestin, one way or the other, in CONUS, and the cost for external interference is dropping like the dollar. And Russia has stopped mobilization too.

    My condolences dear Mr P, Larch, Bones, and other denizens of the Grizzly Bear state. I see one of your august Senators passed away. ‘Tis indeed the season of the changing of elites, per VVP. Who’s next? Grand-auntie Nancy? Who will bear forth their grand traditional banners posted below??

    ⬆️ This was the setup: the arrival of Haftar in Russia a few days ago. Subsequently he met with Shoigu and last night Putin… it looks like Libya is being fixed and the “international community” evicted, as in the Sahel.. and now Russian naval bases ringing the Zionist cancer entity from both the north (Tartous) and south (Sirte, Benghazi…)

    🇷🇺🇱🇾 Putin holds talks with eastern Libya leader

    President Vladimir Putin has held talks with the military leader of eastern Libya, Khalifa Haftar in Moscow.

    Gen Haftar’s forces relied heavily on Russian Wagner mercenaries many of whom are still in eastern Libya.

    A Kremlin spokesman said they discussed the situation in Libya and the region.

    Gen Haftar’s forces dominate the east of the country, while a rival internationally recognised Tripoli-based government controls some of the west.

    You’re welcome dear emerson.

    Alotta activity in Russia over Libya and over Wagner, most of it connected. Retribution and restitution for countenancing crimes during Gaddafi’s fall underway… ⬇️

    🇷🇺🇱🇾 On Thursday evening, Russian President Vladimir Putin met with the former chief of staff of the Wagner PMC, retired colonel Andrei Troshev, and discussed with him the issues of forming volunteer detachments.

    It is noteworthy that the meeting was also attended by Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Yunus-bek Yevkurov, who had previously made a tour of those countries in the Middle East and Africa that are associated with the presence of the Wagner PMC – Mali , Burkina Faso , Central African Republic, Libya , Syria. It is also curious that the meeting with Putin took place immediately after his negotiations with the commander of the Libyan National Army (LNA), Marshal Khalifa Haftar, who recently arrived in Moscow on an official visit.

    Apparently, one of the central topics of negotiations with the president was the Libyan dossier, especially since Yunus-bek Yevkurov personally met Haftar at the Chkalovsky airport, recently met with him in Benghazi, and earlier, together with the sons of Khalifa Haftar, visited areas destroyed by floods Libyan city of Derna. In addition, Yevkurov met with Haftar himself at the end of August and, according to local sources, discussed with him the possibility of creating a Russian Navy base on the Mediterranean coast of the Eastern region of Libya.

    Arab Africa

    🇱🇾🇷🇺💀 The port of Sirte may be transferred to Wagner PMC

    Simultaneously with Khalifa Haftar’s visit to Moscow, a rumor appeared in major Libyan media that the port in the city of Sirte (the hometown of Muammar Gaddafi) could be transferred by the Government of National Stability of Osama Hammad to the forces of the Wagner PMC for a naval base.

    Earlier, information appeared in local sources that the Russian Armed Forces may have the opportunity to create a naval base on the coast of Libya, but where exactly was not specified.

    The city of Sirte is under the control of Khalifa Haftar’s Libyan National Army, and power is represented by the Hammad government appointed by the House of Representatives of Aguila Saleh.

    Well, who will hand over the port, Wagner or the Moscow Region, the locals could simply be confused. Now it’s essentially the same thing for them.

    Thanks for Rotblatt’s account! Another blessing from a special radio. It permitted useful company which helped mature his views and gave us invaluable primary source material. Ever does Evil sow its destruction, as truth outs and reveals intentions. His maturation process and adhering to the moral benefits us to this day.

    “I owned a special radio on which I could receive the BBC World Service. Sometimes Bohr stayed on and talked to me about the social and political implications of the discovery of nuclear energy and of his worry about the dire consequences of a nuclear arms race between East and West which he foresaw.”

    I have always thought the secret society supranationals hellbent on destroying the West actively worked to maneuver the coming nuclear apocalypse, as they maneuvered the German second and third Reichs against the Russians/Soviets. Their grand third act was to convulse East against the West to reduce both. A much more manageable and reduced world would remain to them from which to build back better. So madmen hoped anyway.

    From Bohr, it is clear the Soviets were going to get the bomb either way, Churchill’s ravings notwithstanding. I remember the great pederast’s deep bitterness, contemplating the unholy fire bombing he had unleashed against German cities, that the “High Cabal” appeared to want the destruction of them all. Too late to ask such questions, oh minion!

    Rotblatt, after Bohr’s words, additionally confirms the bomb was for the Soviets, as the Manhattan Project continued after the Germans left theirs. This Project is in hindsight really the bane of the West itself, the last gun on the wall, to be shortly used. Hollyweird mocked the West too, with a character in the Watchmen movie I discussed several times named Dr. Manhattan. He would be the useful idiot used to unleash great culling worldwide focused on developed countries, to the tune of hundreds of millions, through atomic gadgets, leading to the pacified and disarmed survivors everywhere.

    That appears the plot. The primary target of this world war is not Russia, but just like in the first two acts, it is the main Power in the West, which this time happens to be USUK. But the parasited Host is too far gone, morally, intellectually, emotionally, geopolitically, to comprehend it is being suicided.

    Very interesting. The uranium news about US was fake. Message?? Dependency was created and essential supplies can be withdrawn ..

    🇷🇺❌☢️🇺🇸 The information about the suspension of uranium exports from Russia is not true, a Rosatom representative told TASS.

    “Rosatom State Corporation fulfills its obligations under the concluded contracts to foreign customers in full,” he said.

    Earlier, a number of media outlets disseminated information about the alleged suspension of uranium exports from the ports of St. Petersburg to the United States due to lack of insurance coverage. Meanwhile, according to the American Statistical Service, the United States in the first half of this year increased uranium imports from Russia by 2.2 times – up to 416 tons – compared to the same period last year. This is the highest figure since 2005.

    The French “hostage” made it to the esoteric # of 33 days in occupied Niger… how cute. Freemasonry and the French, as American as Apple Pie. The good Ambassador of the image-conscious French, slunk out at between 3 and 4am, with guarantees of no media coverage… let’s see what pops up on social media

    Viciousness is already underway against all the Juntas. Two days ago, Burkina repelled the second counter-coup attempt in September alone, and third since Ibrahim Traore took power last year. Mali’s terrorism and insurgencies in the north by Tuareg tribals is off the scales, killing Wagners and taking hostages. Niger started helping them (!) by bombing some guerrillas taking shelter on their border. Niger was denied a voice at the UNGA by the Portuguese poodle Gutteres, but Burkina and Mali spoke on their behalf, lol. They will be beating back the dastardlies on every front for a generation or so…  The price the small-minded will pay is loss of all goodwill and trade preferences, resulting in accelerating pauperization in France, EU and the West.

    On the sister tongues of Sicilians and Arabs. Where did Don Corleone and his kin originate from anyway?? Perhaps not too far from Tyre in Phoenicia when the Zeus bull was “annexing” Europa.

    Yet not all is morbid, even though they manage to discuss coffin, boss, death, bloody, slaughter, macabre, to fight, — you know, the typical positive lingo of sleepy Mediterranean folks, lol

    ➡️ Food to Europe

    Growing Russian food exports are the country’s third-largest source of budget income after oil and gas, totaling $41.6 B last year. Agricultural produce to Western states were reduced by $2.6 billion last year, redirected to friendly states.

    ➡️ Energy to USA

    ❗️ Russia stops uranium exports to US due to lack of insurance coverage

    “The export of nuclear fuel from the ports of St. Petersburg to the United States has been halted due to lack of insurance coverage,” Russian state nuclear agency Rosatom said.

    🇷🇺 🇨🇦 Russian state media group Rossiya Segodnya launches #cancelnazicanada hashtag

    The Rossiya Segodnya media group, Sputnik’s parent company, is launching the hashtag #cancelnazicanada after Vladimir Zelensky honored Ukrainian SS veteran Yaroslav Hunka in the Canadian parliament as a part of his visit.

    🗣 “By its actions, by its attempt to whitewash the obviously black, Canada has put an “equal” between its name and the word “Nazism. Ordinary Nazism is just that,” the media group said in a press release.

    Meanwhile, in new BRICS friend and ancient Orthodox ally Ethiopia, Russian auto companies open new manufacturing hubs to serve a region of some 260 million humans. atm, the South Sudan head of state is meeting Putin in Russia. The rest are on good terms with Russia. Ethiopia is also a portal for the massive Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa Member States.

    This is huge for people to people connectivity and business. Lada was in Egypt for generations, further down the Nile.

    His last was a partial dud, but Ishchenko is back.

    “… [now] in the fall of 2023, the moment of truth came. It became clear that Ukraine can no longer hold the front, even with Western help. Today, the catastrophe of the Armed Forces seems to be a matter of several months, but it can happen in a few weeks — events have entered the stage of independent development and are no longer amenable to forecasting and management of either political or economic, no military methods.

    … the ruling American elites deliberately linked their political fate with the Ukrainian crisis, they need victory as air.

    … ATACMS operational tactical missiles with a range of 300 kilometers ). Thus, the United States realizes Kiev’s long-standing dream and threat — to transfer the war to Russian territory, jeopardizing Russian cities inland. It should be noted that the systems already delivered and declared for delivery to Kiev are dual-use carriers, that is, they are able to carry a nuclear warhead.

    … The possibilities of a Russian response to the supply of American missiles to Kiev are also extremely limited

    it becomes increasingly difficult for the parties to move to de-escalation, since against the background of already voiced threats, the one who first retreats,will be a loser

    … China, far from the Mediterranean Sea, is unlikely to provide Syria with significant operational support, but this is a step aimed at demonstrating the formed anti-American bloc, which is now ready to jointly confront the United States anywhere in the planet, and not just in the Far East.

    … Both sides feverishly mobilize the allies and strive to prevent the transition of the neutral to a hostile camp.

    Such rapid political changes… all this is clearing political tails before the peak of confrontation. Nothing should distract and interfere with focusing on the main thing.”

    I am not so sanguine with his last thought, or that the Russians do not intend to slice the onion a little more. It seems excessive they will respond to ATACMS with a tactical nuke, unless something dirty is launched against Russia. However both sides are now fully on the slippery slope.

    Note the emphasis of Medvedev on “ground.” Those aerial ISR platforms still appear off the table for now. Insertion of the F-16s would change everything, given their possible B61 payloads, and would be targeted regardless of airfield, per Lavrov and Putin.

    “The Plan for occupation by nazizonewest of Pacific Ocean, bribery and force…”

    Not so fast. The Players of Go are ahead. The US has lost the Solomons… Chinese trade, development, and peaceful relations is attractive, whereas a history of aggression which includes blasting 67 experimental nukes in their air and seas is repellant.

    Their head of state, who came to the NYC UN General Assembly, skipped the White House summons to Pacific vassals a few days later.. the times have changed. What is the use of “1st, 2nd, 3rd Island Chain” siege strategy if Chinese missile bases exist on the outside and Guns are cocked on Oz’s temple??

    Note the agency which plays point for the Empire in southern Oceania: ““It’s so important to get our presence there beefed up,” Craig Hart, an administrator at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), told Congress.” Poor Armenia is about to learn some hard lessons all over again.

    USAID and Economic Hitmen only have teeth and can enforce diktat as long as products of their printing presses are accepted, they can maintain the position of their compradore elites on top of turbulent seas, and they can defend themselves against missiles and other kinetic tools so so far away from the ever shrinking deindustrialized logistics hub @ the Pirate base.
