    The resistance is indeed growing and strengthening literally day by day and hour by hour.  Iran is of course on the menu but Iran is wily and will not fall easily for provocation.

    The Yemeni’s and their ‘ship snatching’ are causing nightmares in Israel and the west.  GOOD!

    “Iran’s Defence Minister in response to the United States’ attempt to establish international naval forces in the Red Sea with the participation of 40 countries:

    “if they make such an irrational move, they will be faced with extraordinary problems… Nobody can make a move in a region where we have predominance.”

    “We have stinging pressure leverages against the countries that will participate in the coalition in the Red Sea [against Yemen].”

    Info on the ‘Houthis’. Few of us know this. https://t.me/VanessaBeeley/22053

    I still see people misrepresent the Houthis as “Iran backed” blah blah which just feeds the Western media complex. A reminder :

    “Seeing a lot of people confused by these news. “These are Houthis, not the Yemeni government” some people screech. You’re wrong. Here’s a quick crash course on some background history, the political landscape in Yemen & appropriate terminology:

    1. The “Houthis” (known officially as the Ansarallah) is a broad grassroots movement with only a few defined political keypoints. This is deliberate, as the movement seeks to incorporate and represent the Yemeni people in its entirety across both Islamic and political differences. The movement has a right-wing, a centre-wing and a left-wing, each organized into separate unions and interest groups. For example, the left-wing is organized into what is called the “Cultural Front Against the Aggression”, just to be very specific.

    2. The “Houthis” ceased being a rebel group in late 2014 with the advent of the September 21st Revolution and the signing of the UN-sponsored Peace & National Partnership Agreement.

    Prior to 2014, the group could indeed be described as a rebel movement as it fought 6 consecutive wars against the corrupt Saudi-backed government of Ali Abdullah Saleh. In September 2014, when the “Houthis” entered Sana’a to topple said government, more than 2/3rds of the entire Yemeni Armed Forces switched and took their side instead of the side of the government, giving the “Houthis” access to missile stockpiles and heavy weapons. More on that further down.

    3. There are currently two competing governments in Yemen, one based in the constitutional capital Sana’a, and one de-facto based in Aden – although the Aden-based government remains unable to exercise its authority there. The “internationally-recognized government” based in Aden doesn’t actually operate from within Yemen, but from a shadow cabinet based in the luxurious Ritz Carlton hotel in Riyadh where they’ve been exiled since February 2015.
    Their direct authority is limited to warlord figures and tribal factions doing their bidding, representing less than 15% of Yemen’s total population. In turn, the so-called “Houthi rebels” are part of what is called the Government of National Salvation, which exercises direct authority over 85% of Yemen’s entire population.

    4. The forces which have launched drones, ballistic & cruise missiles towards Israel are the forces aligned with the Government of National Salvation. They are far from being a “rag-tag rebel group”, but operates as a truly conventional army. They don’t “represent” the “Houthis”, nor do they wage war on behalf of one party or group against another. They represent all of Yemen, and fight on behalf of all of Yemen without exception. They are the only Armed Force in Yemen loyal to a government with a parliamentary mandate to exercise authority – a mandate the Saudi-backed “government” does not have.

    It was indeed the Yemeni Armed Forces which launched the attacks against Israel.

    “But aren’t they Iran-backed”?

    Sure. Nobody is denying this. But the assistance Iran has been giving the “Houthis” does not even compare with the assistance it has given to Iraqi groups or even Hezbollah. Iranian assistance to the “Houthis” has thus far been limited to technical assistance and political support, such as recognizing the Government of National Salvation as the legitimate government of Yemen and opening a Yemeni embassy in Tehran.

    On the technical aspect, the Iranian government has supplied the “Houthis” with blueprints for missiles and drones, as well as technical expertise for assembly and design. All missiles that the “Houthis” currently possess are manufactured locally inside Yemen based on the technical assistance supplied by Iran.

    There has been a concerted effort by the US, UK, Saudi Arabia and the UAE to amplify the “Iran-backed rebels” narrative in hopes of stripping the “Houthis” of their national and local agency.

    ⭕ China is helping South Africa to resolve its very serious electrical energy crisis. Beijing donates 450 diesel electric generators to Pretoria and prepares the installation of gas and solar power plants in this BRICS member country.
    [Amarynth: and what is China doing about the kleptocrats who took SA to this sorry state? And who continue to be influenced by Anglo-American advisors and economic hitmen that ordered looting, disinvestment and “de-carbonization” of their grid? Green crazies and compradore agents still run rampant!…….

    I think China is protecting its own investments … nobody is doing anything about the kleps

    “Next off is to streamline their logistics like the Boers did by adopting the Mauser as their weapon of choice and insisting, like the medieval knights, that each commando had to have his own horse and materiel.”

    My one grandfather fought in this war as a young teenager.  I remember the language – He was a penkop, i.e., not a grown-up soldier but something like a youngster that could be used for most anything – sent here or there for messages and of course they grew up on horses so, good horsemen.  He told the story of the commando leaders or the penkoppe galloping by the farms and shouting … Perd, Saal, Toom en Proviand …. Mount or horse, saddle, bridle and hard tack to eat for a number of days.  Strange the stories that one remembers and I did not even know that I remembered that language.  But luckily both grandfathers told me wonderful stories.

    AHH, I thought you were going to take some time out this weekend?   This is yet another process my friend.

    In the beginning of the SMO we were just about mindboggled with Russia will win in the Ukraine in, what was it, 3 days, 2 weeks as each war correspondent and military experts told us, but the time stretched with nobody really saying they were completely wrong in the time aspect.  And now the west is completely wrong in thinking that Israel or whoever can eliminate the resistance groups and Hamas. https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2023/11/12/714477/Top-Hezbollah-official–Israel-delusional-it-can-eliminate-Hamas,-other-resistance-groups

    Nasrallah for his part, is keeping it just a tad below boiling point and does not call for escalation.  I don’t truly understand why .. but more killing is just what escalation should amount to more killing.  Perhaps he is overly cautious.

    We are dealing with the criminally delusional and this, because it is so foreign to our natures, will consume our energy.

    Now, I know we are dealing with a whole other contingent of human beings being massacred here – the soft part of our hearts.  I watched a video this morning where a nurse testified that he had to leave his patients and he just looked completely shellshocked, and not able to comprehend how these words could actually leave his mouth.

    This massacre will probably take longer than we think.  I am completely stunned and fighting hatred toward the rulers of the world .. all of them – but I also slept for something like 10 hours and woke this morning with a little strength.  But fact remains, we have to rest.  Who will write if we do not?  We are all unique and we do our part even if things fall apart as they have now.

    Please take time out today for self-maintenance!

    I’m stunned.  I never knew Ayan Rand was a Russian, and she was not only a Russian, she was a Jewish Russian.  It changes the whole world of … a lot!

    It was something that Smootie covered.  It is a bloody awful thing.

    Quite an admission. The BigPharma jab agreements with countries were highly protected and we’ve not seen too many of those dropped in the public. South Africa has just dropped theirs.

    South Africa releases the #Pfizer agreement for #COVID vaccines. Here is the bombshell:

    The document says that

    🔹Efficacy of the vaccine is UNKNOWN

    🔹Adverse effects are UKNOWN

    In other words, they sold what has been referred to as ‘snake oil’

    This is the complete document: https://healthjusticeinitiative.org.za/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/OCRPfizer-1_Redacted.pdf

    Page 21 contains the ‘UNKNOWNS’.

    And then, a quick review of the document itself is quite horrendous from the legal perspective.  I never would have signed such a thing.  The purchaser literally may do nothing, and the product is not serialized – so, no batch control.  Who signed these things?

    What a strange place to be in AHH. Did you ever think we would have an ongoing thread on coups in Africa? Yes, Chad is not a place that I would like to visit for sure. They have to keep their cool. Violence on a bigger scale will invite violence from Colonial Overlords.

    What a time! The Africans eject their overlords and the overlords cry like babies – No Mommy, I wanna stay, stamping feet! What visions come up in the head … see this Frenchie swinging his baguette and weeping to stay. And what a denouement of the French, unbelievable. I mean, we knew they were crooked, but we just did not know how crooked.

    All the Tucker Talk … Yes, I don’t have much faith but millions of people are watching the fellow.  So, it is to see what is being pumped, and what is being maintained from that pumping in the population.  I don’t want to think that they are lost, but they are.  What else can one say.  This other one, I had to laugh – Marjorie Taylor Greene, a congress woman they tell me, fearing BRICS because:

    “In this sense, the BRICS countries are making serious trade agreements “where they are saying: we’ll buy from you, you’ll buy from us, we don’t care about US sanctions and we’ll sell to one another, buy and sell in our own currency, not the US dollar,” she stated.

    “This is one of the most devastating things that can happen to all of us,” Greene claimed.

    As BRICS becomes more powerful, the US dollar gets weaker, she said. “And you know what happens to all of us? We’re going to go broke,” the congresswoman predicted, adding that this dynamic will negatively affect the retirement plans and personal savings of ordinary Americans.”

    The poor soul.  Not an ounce of self-reflection.

    Borrell is so transparent and stupid, because he gave the game away.  There are good coups and bad coups.  And the ones that we like are the good coups, so, we will support those, but the bad coups we will sanction.

    Hi all

    Siljan asked for a new thread as this one is getting long.  The new one is there, same name, just with a Take Two at the end of the name.

    If you use that one, it will sort first in the list.

    Here is the 2nd add.  It is a paper called ‘Spikeopathy’: COVID-19 Spike Protein Is Pathogenic, from Both Virus and Vaccine mRNA

    https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9059/11/8/2287

    The abstract reads:

    Abstract
    The COVID-19 pandemic caused much illness, many deaths, and profound disruption to society. The production of ‘safe and effective’ vaccines was a key public health target. Sadly, unprecedented high rates of adverse events have overshadowed the benefits. This two-part narrative review presents evidence for the widespread harms of novel product COVID-19 mRNA and adenovectorDNA vaccines and is novel in attempting to provide a thorough overview of harms arising from the new technology in vaccines that relied on human cells producing a foreign antigen that has evidence of pathogenicity. This first paper explores peer-reviewed data counter to the ‘safe and effective’ narrative attached to these new technologies. Spike protein pathogenicity, termed ‘spikeopathy’, whether from the SARS-CoV-2 virus or produced by vaccine gene codes, akin to a ‘synthetic virus’, is increasingly understood in terms of molecular biology and pathophysiology. Pharmacokinetic transfection through body tissues distant from the injection site by lipid-nanoparticles or viral-vector carriers means that ‘spikeopathy’ can affect many organs. The inflammatory properties of the nanoparticles used to ferry mRNA; N1-methylpseudouridine employed to prolong synthetic mRNA function; the widespread biodistribution of the mRNA and DNA codes and translated spike proteins, and autoimmunity via human production of foreign proteins, contribute to harmful effects. This paper reviews autoimmune, cardiovascular, neurological, potential oncological effects, and autopsy evidence for spikeopathy. With many gene-based therapeutic technologies planned, a re-evaluation is necessary and timely.

    Adding two interesting articles that I’ve come across.  The first is about Dr. Fuellmich, who some of you may remember started something like Nuremberg II and he and a collection of other lawyers would take it to trial.  Even at that time, I said he will never get a court to hear him and the case.  Stephen Karganovic recently did an update on Strategic Culture.  https://strategic-culture.su/news/2023/08/23/the-education-of-dr-fuellmich/

    An experienced international trial lawyer, after many attempts on two continents to initiate legal proceedings which would appear as much in the public interest as anything could ever be, has gotten exactly nowhere.

    Quite some time ago, in 2021 to be precise, we discussed the remarkable phenomenon of the German-American trial attorney Dr. Reiner Fuellmich and his plans to take the pandemic and its instigators to court. Dr. Fuellmich early on organised a professional investigative committee to gather facts about the galloping pandemic and to elaborate a legal strategy to deal with it in case the evidence convinced the committee that the global upheaval we all experienced was not a natural phenomenon. He was preparing a legal response in case that everything was not on the up and up (in the American meaning of the phrase) as we were being aggressively directed to believe that it was.

    At that time, in 2021, we expressed the somewhat sceptical-sounding view that “with all the facts and cogent arguments marshalled and at his disposal, in today’s post-everything normal and decent world, Dr. Fuellmich will also need, as the title [Viel Gluck, Dr. Fuellmich] suggests, a massive amount of luck, much more than any tool from the arsenal of his legal profession.” Perhaps it is time now to review briefly the trajectory of Dr. Fuellmich’s legal case in order to check whether in retrospect our scepticism was warranted.

    To start off, two and a half years later, what is the status of the Covid controversy?

    To begin with the putative “cure,” the highly touted mRNA vaccines that hundreds of millions of people were relentlessly pressured and in some professional milieux imperatively required to take, their overall harmfulness is now well established. Numerous scientific studies amply confirm it. That proposition seems now to be as close to an open and shut case as anything could be.

    One specific scientific study aiming “to investigate possible causal links between COVID-19 vaccine administration and excess death using autopsies and post-mortem analysis” had a very curious or perhaps more accurately, disturbing, fate once it was published by the respected British scientific journal, “Lancet.” Study authors put a rather bland interpretation of the data in their findings, to the effect that “the consistency seen among cases in this review with known COVID-19 vaccine adverse events, their mechanisms, and related excess death, coupled with autopsy confirmation and physician-led death adjudication, suggests there is a high likelihood of a causal link between COVID-19 vaccines and death in most cases. Further urgent investigation is required for the purpose of clarifying our findings.”

    The very discreet suggestions, couched in thick scientific jargon, that there could be a cause-and-effect relationship between the purported Covid prevention panacea and excess death was tolerated on the “Lancet” site for exactly 24 hours. The subsequent explanation posted by the editors is that the “preprint has been removed by Preprints with The Lancet because the study’s conclusions are not supported by the study methodology.” It must be judged very curious that the editors did not notice such a huge and disqualifying flaw when they initially agreed to publish the findings. Or did they receive subsequently a phone call from some higher authority that brooks no contradiction instructing them to immediately remove the tell-tale findings which shake the narrative to its very foundations?

    Be that as it may, the problem is that the totality of the many recent rigorously conducted scientific studies about the nature, origin, and “cure” for the pandemic all point to the existence behind it of an agenda that many influential interests involved in the affair would prefer to maintain under wraps.

    Who these interests are and the nature of their agenda may be gleaned from statements made by Albert Bourla, CEO of Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, and the world famous “philanthropist” Bill Gates.  It is evident that these kind gentlemen and benefactors of mankind are obsessively preoccupied with a single issue, radical population reduction. Can such an objective be achieved in any other way except by killing masses of people?

    As private individuals they are certainly entitled to have an opinion on this matter, as Thomas Malthus did also in his time, but there seems to be a very important difference. Excess population and policies required to deal with it was something that Malthus merely theorised upon. These gentlemen, on the other hand, have the resources and the means, and judging by the plain significance of their own words also the motivation, to give such theoretical ramblings practical effect. Considering the quantity of victims publicly contemplated by their genocidal (and incidentally highly profitable) schemes and taking into account the global scope of the carnage they have the means as well as the evident intention to accomplish, the Holocaust and what happened to the Armenians, not to mention Srebrenica, are by comparison mere historical footnotes.

    Attorney and life insurance executive Todd Callender minces no words about it: “Intentional homicide in large numbers is genocide.” It is worth reminding that while machinations that generated excess morbidity on a global scale were going on, the therapeutic use of effective treatments was strictly prohibited.

    But what to a normal mind would appear to be if not an open and shut legal case then at least a strong indication of egregious criminal malfeasance, sufficient to warrant an urgent and thorough global investigation, is not necessarily so. Just ask Dr. Fuellmich.

    Since we last wrote about it, Dr. Fuellmich’s and his able investigative team’s noble efforts have borne much fruit, everywhere in fact but in a court of law. Starting out nearly three years ago with laudable but retrospectively naïve enthusiasm, Dr. Fuellmich and his associates have amassed a vast amount of evidence on every aspect of the pandemic, including what is possibly smoking gun proof of malicious intent. All of that is readily available online, not any longer on YouTube of course, whence he was expelled some time ago like many others who failed to survive the “fact-checking” gauntlet, but certainly on other, more truth-friendly portals where he has since migrated. The only arena where so far Dr. Fuellmich has had nothing to show for his valiant efforts is his own professional milieu, the court of law.

    And that is not because his case is afflicted with paucity of evidence. It is for a different reason altogether that should unsettle everyone who still retains a modicum of faith in what ought to have remained as the last bastion of institutional probity in an otherwise unashamedly corrupt world, the system of justice.

    There has so far been not a single court in the Western world that was willing to examine the evidence of colossal turpitude that Dr. Fuellmich has painstakingly uncovered and assembled, that would consent to do its professional duty by hearing his arguments or render a legal judgment on the merits of his extraordinary and impeccably documented claims.

    Consequently, there remains little of the confidence Dr. Reiner Fuellmich initially exuded that with the cooperation of our diligent judiciary the culprits for the events that continue to ruin an untold number of lives would surely be rounded up, tried in a court of law, and following a spectacular Nuremberg II would be put away to expiate their crimes. The expectation that in the real world anything of the sort could actually occur was in itself a spectacular display of naiveté on his part.

    So now, properly educated in the ways of the real world, Dr. Fuellmich has had to drop his ambitious vision of a sequel to the Nuremberg Tribunal, having been obliged to settle for a more modest alternative. He is still holding a trial of sorts, but that has turned out to be a virtual and unofficial exercise carried by the few remaining platforms where truth may still be uttered with impunity. His efforts therefore will be accessible only to the disenfranchised multitudes who might happen to stumble upon these largely unpublicised proceedings and who will be expected to act in the politically irrelevant capacity of a citizen jury. Needless to say, the impressions formed by such an informal jury and the conclusions it draws, based on the evidence heard in Dr. Fuellmich’s virtual courtroom, will be of no practical consequence. They will be contemptuously disregarded by the vile cabal upon whose command the editors of “Lancet” hastened to remove from their journal the pier reviewed findings that could have given the criminal game away.

    Arguably, the adamant refusal of the Western judiciaries to investigate the pandemic and render judgment on it after hearing the evidence could roughly be compared to the refusal of Western public agencies to investigate North Stream II. The parallel with North Stream, however, goes only so far, being deficient in one critical respect. The impact of the event in the Baltic Sea was serious but mainly economic. The impact of the pandemic, including most importantly the “therapeutic” treatments allegedly developed to cure the victims, is on the existential level incomparably more profound, particularly in light of the publicly admitted homicidal motives of its principal promoters. That puts the urgency of looking into the pandemic, its origins, and the objectives it may have been designed to serve in an entirely different league.

    Yet be it noted that an experienced international trial lawyer, after many attempts on two continents to initiate legal proceedings which would appear as much in the public interest as anything could ever be, has gotten exactly nowhere.

    What does that tell us about the condition of the judiciary in that part of the world which freely lectures the rest of the planet about the benefits of the rule of law and the blessings of a “rules based order”?
