Russian MIL Discuss US Crimes Against Humanity at SCO Summit
Russian Defense Minister, the highest ranking Russian military official only behind Putin, Sergei Shoigu, spoke at the meeting in great depth on the Special Military Operation in Ukraine, and goes absolutely scorched earth on the US and the activities of the Deep State. He goes over the reason for Russia’s invasion, the Deep State biological network, the Nazi war-crimes, Taiwan, EVERYTHING!
Note to Liz Cheney: You’re No Lincoln
Unlike Epstein, I have met Liz Cheney (and her parents) and have a actual basis on which to question her ethics and political motivations.
After I sat next to her at a luncheon about a year into Obama’s first term, she invited me to an intimate and private dinner with two of George W. Bush’s former national security advisers. The four of us spent several hours discussing Iran, Iraq, al-Qaeda, and Israel, and it was clear that Cheney was preparing to launch her political career, for which she had high aspirations. She asked me to write a white paper on why Israel is a strategic asset to the United States and offered to pay me $2,000 for my product. I spent one month thoroughly researching the 6,000-word paper, which was edited by a highly respected former NSA official, foreign policy expert, journalist, and conservative thinker.
After receiving the final paper from both of us in separate emails, Cheney never responded. She went completely MIA. To this day, I have no idea if she ever used the paper in her campaign or work in Congress. She never thanked me, never paid me, and never reached out to me again. I would call that rude, unprofessional, and certainly unethical. It showed a lack of character and morals, but it also showed hubris — the kind we often see from politicians like Obama and Hillary, who not only believe themselves above the law, but believe they are entitled to their power and the rest of us are here to serve them.
ENEMIES OF THE REGIME
In reality Dugin’s proximity to Putin and the scale of his influence over him remains persistently exaggerated for reasons more to do with Dugin’s influence in the West than in Moscow, and the Western elite’s increasingly narcissistic and totalitarian character. Dugin is both the best-known contemporary Russian philosopher and among the most influential philosophers associated with the global reactionary Right. In connecting his positions to Putin the suggestion is floated that this whole school of thought, and ultimately all political dissidence, is directed from Moscow as a subversion strategy, without any real substance, or legitimate grievance, and therefore may be suppressed, as opposed to acknowledged and reckoned with….
Ubiquitous accusations of fascism belong to the same register albeit in more metaphysical, if equally delusional terms. Russia at least is a concrete geopolitical actor. Fascism and its various cognates (the far-right, white supremacism, etc.) is a supernatural contagion, somehow perpetually “rising” inversely to progressive political victories. Dugin himself has already registered the main thrust of this logic:
“First of all, they view all their enemies as fascists. After that, they begin to kill them because they are fascists. Nobody investigates anything. That’s just Bolshevism, just like in the Bolshevik Revolution or in the French Revolution. Everybody who is declared an enemy of the revolution should be exterminated.”
Fascism in this sense represents little more than the term of choice to dehumanise enemies of a paranoid political regime in order to persecute them. Nothing about this is new. In sixteenth and seventeenth century Europe the terms gazari and vaudois, after the destroyed Cathar and Waldensian heresies, were used the same way to propagate the orgy of murder today known as the witch trials.
Stopping Biden After November
Given the past inclination of Republicans to fight amongst themselves on the sidelines, it is an inconvenient truth that a slim congressional majority would not be enough to save them from their own party intrigues and petty rivalries. Former Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan, who held himself up as the morally superior conscience of the Republican Party, saw Donald Trump as more an intruder than a president. He tolerated the White House agenda and held his nose as he gave them legislative victories — rewriting the tax code and rebuilding the military — before retiring with a smile and surrendering the gavel to Nancy Pelosi.
Watching the waking up is painful in its slowness.
Declining Empire At War
Every single American needs to read Christopher Caldwell’s powerful piece asking what on earth the US is doing in Ukraine. Excerpts:
Never has an official non-belligerent been more implicated in a war. Russia and its sympathizers assert that the U.S. attempt to turn Ukraine into an armed anti-Russian camp is what the war is about in the first place. Even those who dismiss this view will agree that the United States has made itself a central player in the conflict. It is pursuing a three-pronged strategy to defeat Russia through every means short of entering the war—which, of course, raises the risk that the United States will enter the war. One prong is the state-of-the-art weaponry it is supplying to Ukraine. Since June, thousands of computer-guided artillery rockets have been wreaking havoc behind Russian lines. A second prong is sanctions. With western European help, Washington has used its control of the choke points of the global marketplace to impoverish Russians, in hopes of punishing Russia. Finally, the U.S. seeks to rally the world’s peoples to a culture war against an enemy whose traditionalism, even if it does not constitute the whole of his evil, is at least a symbol of it.
The American Tower of Babel
Today, we call it atomization. We believe it is especially driven by technology. But it’s not simply the machines that are creating human automatons. We have allowed the machines to create and shape our metaphysics. Part of the problem is that we have lost the threads between different spheres of life. There is no longer a difference between the public and the private self. Such notions are absent from the intellectual discussion.
People do engage with one another, but just like the endless stream of tweets, the discourse is shallow, uninformed, and narcissistic. Do we really expect to create a culture that thrives on creativity in an environment that is this toxic? Are we really that blind to the reality of a constant feedback loop that is clearly shaping an insane society that cannot sustain itself any longer?
Politics is one of the essential spheres of life. Even if we don’t consider ourselves overly political, as citizens, we engage in politics in one form or another. What happens when this particular sphere is overtaken by irrationality and corruption? A citizen will either acquiesce or fight. But what kind of life is one of submission or perpetual reaction? Either way, creation loses, and destruction wins.
Cultural Marxism: a thread
The problem is, Marx didn’t live long enough to actually organize such a working class revolution. And when his successors tried, they discovered a small problem: the working class doesn’t want revolution, and in fact the working class is the most conservative class in society,
even more so than the capitalists (who led the revolution out of feudalism). Economic conflict couldn’t overcome forces like religion, patriotism and tradition even more so than the capitalists (who led the revolution out of feudalism)
Economic conflict couldn’t overcome forces like religion, patriotism and tradition
What to do? British Fabians, a group of Marxist intellectuals, realized there was one class that was open to the idea of revolution, namely the intellectuals like themselves. They looked down on
religion and tradition as superstition, and instead of loyalty to their nation they felt loyalty only to “The People”. (Only in the abstract, of course, they didn’t seem to want the company of actual dirty uneducated people.)

California to unveil plan tomorrow that will see gas cars BANNED by 2035 and force all new cars sold to be electric only
Based on what I’ve seen uncovered in the past week and a half since all The Pit researchers started digging into the Konnech info: When the FBI went digging into this they uncovered a massive scandal implicating the DOD and several intel/5 EYES intel agencies in either deliberately handing this open door into our elections to the CCP or they did it accidentally from incompetence. Either way, the FBI was looking at a massive scandal that would implicate top DOD officials and Intel agency officials. They were faced with two options: pull the lid off this Pandora’s Box and pursue it where ever it led OR make it go away by flipping it on the whistleblowers who brought the Konnech data to them, Gregg Phillips and Catherine Engelbrecht of True The Vote. You’ll NEVER guess which option the FBI brass decided on….

The Republic is Threatened, not Destroyed
While I rarely disagree with Victor Davis Hanson, I have to take exception to what he said on Mark Levin’s Fox show, August 14: “We’re no longer a republic anymore. We’re in a transition to a radical democracy.”
No blinkers here. Yes, the republic is imperiled, but is it finished? Unintentional, no doubt, but saying that America is cooked is tantamount to waving a big, white flag. Where’s the righteous indignation and warrior spirit so necessary to winning this fight?
Do we want to send messages of defeat to tens of millions of patriots? Mission accomplished for Democrats and their allies? Bye, bye, rule of law? Good luck maneuvering through all the antiliberty landmines?
I disagree with VDH all the time. No big deal.

COVID Vaccine Propaganda Busted – High Deaths and Cancers
The main propaganda line is that vaccines and boosters are ‘safe and effective’ and prevent severe illness and death. These are lies, as shown by the data.
COVID propaganda lies set a record in the history of the human race. It has killed millions of people.
The recent sharp increase in COVID deaths has caught my attention. I have been watching daily COVID statistics in The Washington Post. A few months ago, the 7-day average for deaths was about 300. In last Sunday’s paper, it was 500.
That is about a 70% increase!
And the purebloods are watching family and friends deteriorate with breaking hearts.
Leftists Crushed in School Boards Across Florida
While primary elections occurred in Florida, New York, and Oklahoma Tuesday, Florida has general elections for school boards, meaning the winners will be the official members of the boards.
Many of the winning candidates have been endorsed by the 1776 Project PAC, an organization that has been instrumental in flipping school boards from liberal to conservative across the country.
“We saw massive election victories all throughout the state of Florida tonight,” 1776 Project PAC founder Ryan Girdusky told Breitbart News Tuesday. “It shows the desire of parents and residents across the country for some normalcy in our education system, and that means pushing against transgender ideology, critical race theory, critical gender ideology, and equity which destroys merit in education.”

Precedent
“Precedent refers to a court decision that is considered as authority for deciding subsequent cases involving identical or similar facts, or similar legal issues. Precedent is incorporated into the doctrine of stare decisis and requires courts to apply the law in the same manner to cases with the same facts. Some judges have stated that precedent ensures that individuals in similar situations are treated alike instead of based on a particular judge’s personal views.
If the facts or issues of a case differ from those in a previous case, the previous case cannot be precedent. The Supreme Court in Cooper Industries, Inc. v. Aviall Services, Inc. reiterated that “[q]uestions which merely lurk on the record, neither brought to the attention of the court nor ruled upon, are not to be considered as . . . precedent.” Therefore, a prior decision serves as precedent only for issues, given the particular facts, that the court explicitly considered in reaching its decision.”
Investigation Into U.S. Election Software Company Uncovers Chinese Coders
Konnech Inc., a U.S. software company based out of East Lansing, Michigan, helps manage the poll workers, poll locations, campaigns, assets, mail-in ballots, and supplies necessary to run elections in the United States, Canada, and Australia.
Although, the American technology company, which was founded in 2002, is used by the U.S. Department of Defense and ‘thousands of election offices across North America’, Konnech Inc., previously built a ‘communication platform’ called ChineseBrief.com for the Confucius Institute.
Furthermore, many of the company’s software engineers and employees graduated from Chinese universities such as Zhejiang University, Nanjing University, University of Science and Technology of China, Beijing Language and Culture University, China Agricultural University, and HuaZhong University of Science and Technology.

MATTHEW 24:42-51
42Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. 43But know this, that if the householder had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched and would not have let his house be broken into. 44Therefore you also must be ready; for the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect. 45“Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? 46Blessed is that servant whom his master when he comes will find so doing. 47Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. 48But if that wicked servant says to himself, `My master is delayed,’ 49and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eats and drinks with the drunken, 50the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, 51and will punish him, and put him with the hypocrites; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.
