Days Of Crisis
Caught By The Wave,
We are in a crisis-period of death throes of an established global financial and military power structure, composed at the end of World War-2, contested through the cold-war decades, then thrust to global dominance with the collapse of the USSR, and now collapsing from internal corruption consuming it like widespread cancer.
Causes leading into this include the rate of profit taking being maintained as industrial output, especially in western countries, declined for many reasons, so the profits ate healthy industries. Many industries were moved to China, where they could produce at lower costs, maintaining the profits. those which remained in the west became weaker without productive investment, taking on loans to buy their own stocks back, maintaining "shareholder value".
Net oil production, including natural-gas-liquids and fracked-liquids, peaked in late 2018, and is on a plateau with ups and downs since then. I expect it to fall. There may be large, secret reserves in the Arctic and Antarctic, but they would take over a decade to bring online. Oil is Real Economy in the modern world.
Two days ago I posted BOE Needs World War Three https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/boe-needs-world-war-three , which makes the case that the City Of London global financial interests are badly over-extended on their failing leveraged bets, calculated to profit from the political and economic collapses of Russia and Ukraine in such a way as to asset-strip both countries for further leveraged loans, and the payment of debt-service on these large, leveraged debt-bets.
I was surprised to see that the post had garnered 14,400 views in about 6 hours, which is 10X what my typical post might get in 24 hours. I searched Substack statistics and could not tell where the views came from. Likes, comments and new-subscriptions were all stable. I immediately suspected that I had attracted the attention of some government-surveillance entity somewhere. I have not yet been invited to dine in Paris with Emmanuel Macron, and I am certain that I would decline such an offer.
We are in an epoch where all constraints have been removed from the global elites. Appearances are much less important than the retention of raw power this year as their cancerous system consumes itself. It is our life support system, also. We have longer-term interests to support. They would kill as many of us as don't comport to their plans. That is underway, with options to suddenly trip into World War Three, with emergency powers, such as were wielded by the heads of all great powers, and their financiers 80 years ago.

Israeli hospitals record over 5,000 wounded in fight against Hezbollah
Directors of hospitals in northern Israel say no one prepared them for 11 months 'underground' treating the wounded More than 5,000 Israeli soldiers have been injured while fighting against Hezbollah near the Lebanon border since 8 October, according to hospital records from the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya and the Zif Hospital in Safed, Yediot Ahronoth reported on 27 August.
The Israeli newspaper said the directors of the two hospitals fear the fighting on the northern front will not end anytime soon. “Eleven months underground, and we cannot see the end,” the directors said.
The director of Zif Hospital, Salman Zarqa, said his hospital had treated about 450 Israeli soldiers wounded as a result of Hizbollah’s operations, even though “The days of the real fighting have not yet come.” “I’m not talking about operational incidents. I’m talking about the shooting, about the shrapnel, about the direct injuries. These are very large numbers,” Zarqa said.
He added that Israel has only ever fought short-term wars, while today’s battle has lasted 11 months. He called for a balance between “life-saving treatment” and the readiness to treat many wounded. Zif pointed out that balancing the two is “exhausting and difficult, especially when you see no end to them.” https://thecradle.co/articles-id/26611

Jonathan Cook, Hiding an Ugly Truth About Israel Tony Greenstein offers an excoriating account of howGuardian columnist Jonathan Freedland distorted the historical record in his biography of Rudolf Vrba, the first Jew to escape Auschwitz.
One might wonder why Vrba’s incredible story has been buried for decades, given how keen Hollywood is to make Holocaust movies.
Greenstein explains. Vrba’s efforts in early 1944 to warn other Jews of their coming fate in the Nazi death camps were betrayed by European leaders of the Zionist movement, who silenced him.
That movement was prepared to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of Jews in return for the Nazis escorting the Zionist elite out of danger in Europe to Palestine.There the Zionist movement was already well-advanced in its preparations to expel the native Palestinians and build a self-declared Jewish state on the ruins of their homeland.
The Zionists’ attitude reflected that of the movement’s founding father, Theodor Herzl:
“The anti-Semites will become our most dependable friends, the anti-Semitic countries our allies.”
Vrba was hugely critical of the Zionist movement for collaborating with the Nazis, and had no love for the Jewish state it spawned.
In 1961, The Daily Herald published an extract from Vrba’s memoir, cited by Greenstein, in which he wrote:
“I am a Jew. In spite of that, indeed because of that, I accuse certain Jewish leaders of one of the most ghastly deeds of the war. This small group of quislings knew what was happening to their brethren in Hitler’s gas chambers and bought their own lives with the price of silence … I was able to give Hungarian Zionist leaders three weeks’ notice that [Adolf] Eichmann [key architect of the Holocaust] planned to send a million of their Jews to his gas chambers … [Rezso] Kasztner [leader of Hungary’s Zionist movement] went to Eichmann and told him, ‘I know of your plans; spare some Jews of my choice and I shall keep quiet.’” https://consortiumnews.com/2024/08/28/hiding-an-ugly-truth-about-israel/

Patrick Lawrence: The Sound of Enforced Silence Edward Luce, formerly the Financial Times’s Washington bureau chief and now one of the FT’s more readable commentators, ran a column on the convention under the headline, “‘Gaza’ is the word Democrats dare not whisper in Chicago.” A day into the proceedings, The Intercept put out an item headed, “Democratic Party Unites Under Banner of Silence on Gaza Genocide.”
That is how it was, more or less, at the DNC in Chicago. There was plenty of talk of AIPAC, the antidemocratic American Israel Public Affairs Committee — a foreign agent if ever there was one — but only in the streets outside the convention hall. Harris finally raised the Gaza crisis, during her acceptance speech, but boyo, did she blow through that topic with haste. This was “strategic vagueness”—that adorable phrase The New York Times has coined to make a virtue of Harris’s weather-vane vacuousness—at its very finest.
It was the usual thing when Harris devoted a few sentences to Gaza: Her White House will shed more crocodile tears for the suffering of Palestinians, but the unwavering, unconditional support the “Biden–Harris administration” extends to apartheid Israel will remain unwavering and unconditional. When you hear Harris say, “I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself,” as she stated last Thursday, it is the recipient of AIPAC funds speaking in the code the Israel lobby understands: Worry not. You will get what you have paid for.
My take: It will be silence on the imperium’s doings between now and Nov 5. And if Harris is elected in November, getting her through the following four years will require an escalated version of the censorship regime the national-security state and Big Tech imposed on dissenting voices during the Trump years, but with one difference: The objective then was to take down our forty-fifth president; this time it will be to sustain our stunningly unqualified forty-seventh. https://scheerpost.com/2024/08/29/patrick-lawrence-the-sound-of-enforced-silence/
France Slaps Telegram CEO With 12 Criminal Charges After Israel Calls Platform ‘Uncooperative’ Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, criticized French authorities for their double standards following Durov’s arrest. “I just remembered that in 2018, a group of 26 NGOs, including Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Freedom House, Reporters Without Borders, the Committee to Protect Journalists, and others, condemned a Russian court’s decision to block Telegram. The West made other similar statements,” Zakharova stated.
Telegram has played an important role in the ongoing information war surrounding the genocide in Gaza. Supporters of Palestinians have been able to use the app to freely share information exposing ongoing Israeli war crimes while highlighting the efforts of Hamas, Hezbollah, Yemen, and Iran to resist Israel.
It is unclear if Israel had a role in Durov’s detention in Paris on Saturday.
Last week, Haaretz reported that “Telegram has proved a massive challenge for Israel since the start of the war.”
This includes sensitive data leaks from Israel acquired by hackers and released on Telegram channels.
The Israeli newspaper noted, “While many tech firms have streamlined mechanisms through which states can reach out to them” to censor content, “Telegram is considered the least cooperative of them all.”
Haaretz adds, “More than that, while many social media platforms have invested heavily in moderation, allowing people and organizations to help monitor content – for example, the removal of antisemitic content or posts inciting terrorism or even the removal of videos from the October 7 massacre – Telegram has not.” https://scheerpost.com/2024/08/28/france-slaps-telegram-ceo-with-12-criminal-charges-after-israel-calls-platform-uncooperative/
Craig Murray, Pavel Durov and the Abuse of Law The detention of Pavel Durov is being portrayed as a result of the EU Digital Services Act. But having spent my day reading the EU Services Act (a task I would not wish upon my worst enemy), it does not appear to me to say what it is being portrayed as saying.
EU Acts are horribly dense and complex, and are published as “Regulations” and “Articles”. Both cover precisely the same ground, but for purposes of enforcement the more detailed “Regulations” are the more important, and those are referred to below. The “Articles” are entirely consistent with this.
So, for example, Regulation 20 makes the “intermediary service”, in this case Telegram, only responsible for illegal activity using its service if it has deliberately collaborated in the illegal activity.
Providing encryption or anonymity specifically does not qualify as deliberate collaboration in illegal activity. https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2024/08/pavel-durov-and-the-abuse-of-law/
Macron Set Up Telegram CEO at US Deep State’s Behest Ahead of 2024 Vote – Wall Street Analyst It appears that Paris has tried to trap Telegram founder Pavel Durov for quite a while, Wall Street analyst and investigative journalist Charles Ortel told Sputnik, not ruling out that granting of the French citizenship to the Russian tech prodigy was part of the plan. "It looks very much like a trap," Ortel said.
He also referred to the claim by the French newspaper, Le Canard Enchaine, that the Telegram founder came to Paris to dine with President Emmanuel Macron. The claim was rejected by the Elysee Palace. https://sputnikglobe.com/20240828/macron-set-up-telegram-ceo-at-us-deep-states-behest-ahead-of-2024-vote--wall-street-analyst-1119937507.html

Even after she resigned, he froze all of her bank accounts. Our challenges against his manifestly illegal actions were either dismissed or ignored. Judge de Moraes’ colleagues on the Supreme Court are either unwilling or unable to stand up to him.
We are absolutely not insisting that other countries have the same free speech laws as the United States. The fundamental issue at stake here is that Judge de Moraes demands we break Brazil’s own laws. We simply won’t do that.
In the days to come, we will publish all of Judge de Moraes’ illegal demands and all related court filings in the interest of transparency. Unlike other social media and technology platforms, we will not comply in secret with illegal orders.

Coning this Gilbert Doctorow report down to one point, a decapitating nuclear first-strike by US/NATO: For Russia, recovering Kursk is no walk in the rose garden In short, the Zelensky gambit that is being enabled fully by the United States is not a PR stunt but a full-blown invasion intended to be the vanguard of what will be an air assault on Russia’s strategic assets far in the rear using JASSM, Storm Shadow and other long-range missiles launched from F16s.
Klintsevich has further intimated that the two U.S. aircraft carriers and their escorts now in the Eastern Mediterranean may be there not to contain Iran but for an all-out attack on Russia using their jets to deliver nuclear strikes. I add to his analysis that this may explain the knock-out of Russia’s early warning radar stations in the south of the country by Ukrainian drones acting on orders from Washington. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2024/08/27/for-russia-recovering-kursk-is-no-walk-in-the-rose-garden/
Ukraine may use spent nuclear fuel for a dirty bomb
The import of spent nuclear fuel to Ukraine is a risk factor, said Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, Chief of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense (RCBD) Troops. According to him, this fuel could be used, among other things, to create a "dirty bomb" and chemical provocations "under a false flag." "In one of the latest briefings, we noted that the deliveries were organised through Poland and Romania under the personal control of Andriy Yermak, the head of the Ukrainian president's office,"Mr Kirillov said at the briefing. He added thatRussia had again called on the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) "to conduct a real and impartial investigation." https://www-kommersant-ru.translate.goog/doc/6919353?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp
Russia would nuke the US in WW-3, y'all: Russia Warns US Will Face ‘Much Harsher’ Consequences for Backing Kursk Invasion Ukraine is now pushing hard for the US to allow it to launch long-range strikes inside Russia using US-provided missiles. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov strongly warned against this potential escalation and said the US should understand that if World War III breaks out, it wouldn’t be contained in Europe.
“Americans unequivocally associate conversations about Third World War as something that, God forbid, if it happens, will affect Europe exclusively,” Lavrov said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that his Western backers are “naive” for worrying about escalation and called Russia’s red lines a “bluff.”
On Monday, Russia launched massive missile and drone attacks across Ukraine, which was seen as retaliation for the Kursk offensive. Russia followed up with another heavy bombing on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, in eastern Ukraine, Russian forces continue to make steady gains, which have become more rapid since Ukraine launched its Kursk offensive on August 6. https://scheerpost.com/2024/08/28/russia-warns-us-will-face-much-harsher-consequences-for-backing-kursk-invasion/
Simplicius, Tangible Panic Grows in Ukraine Amid Donbass-front Collapse It’s almost pointless even updating the exact captures and advances anymore because right now they’re simply happening so fast that within hours of the Sitrep’s release, the information is already obsolete, and Russians have advanced even more. But suffice it to say, this time there were even several major captures in areas other than Pokrovsk.
Russian forces captured the remainder of Konstantinovka on the Ugledar line...In light of the ongoing collapse, the potential for dangerous escalation rises because Zelensky gets increasingly desperate to engineer some kind of black swan event that could overturn the table and upend events.....There’s an undercurrent of tension now running through events as other somewhat peculiar happenings have gone on. For instance, Belarus suddenly moved a lot of forces to the Ukrainian border again, and for the first time they appear to have a tactical symbol of a ‘B’ on them, as if they are preparing for direct combat... ..Well, lo and behold, at his latest press conference, Lavrov just stated that Russia is currently “fine tuning” or “refining” its nuclear doctrine—what could that mean? ... ..I think it’s only natural given that Ukraine is on the final precipice of potentially being given permission to use intermediate range strategic weapons against Russian strategic sites—i.e. ATACMS, Storm Shadows, etc., potentially hitting deep Russian bases, nuclear plants, or even Moscowitself. Furthermore, the introduction of the F-16 into Ukraine, which is nuclear-capable, and which Russia must doctrinally treat as a possible nuclear threat if it ever comes close to Russian borders.
Fall Of Key Ukrainian City To Russia Could Be An “Operational Catastrophe”
Russian forces are only about eight miles away from Pokrovsk which is a key logistics hub for Ukraine. Pokrovsk “has become a key distribution hub, supporting Ukrainian forces along a broad frontline from Vuhledar to the north of Donetsk and beyond,” Tatarigami, a military observer, OSINT and GEOINT analyst and founder of Frontelligence Insight, wrote on Twitter. “Currently, only two places in the Donbas serve this vital function – Pokrovsk and Kramatorsk. The significance of Pokrovsk extends beyond its rail connections – it is also located at a key road juncture, serving a similar role in the transportation and distribution of supplies.” https://www.twz.com/news-features/fall-of-key-donetsk-city-could-be-an-operational-catastrophe-for-ukraine
There has been a progression of 3 stories about how the recently lauded Ukrainian F-16 pilot and his plane went down in a Russian missile strike on 8/26/24. The latest story is that the F-16 was shot down by Patriot missiles, which did not recognize it as "friend", when they were launched to intercept an incoming Kinzhal second-tap. USA tries to 'explain' the loss of F-16 jet in Ukraine. Washington tries to cover up Ukraine's loss of F-16 fighter in Russian missile strike
Russian media reported earlier that on Monday, August 26, the Russian Armed Forces launched a missile strike on the Starokostiantyniv airfield in the Khmelnytsky region, where several F-16 fighter jets were stationed. Immediately after the strike, they took off and circled in the area for two to three hours. As soon as they returned to the airfield, the Russian military launched another strike, which resulted in the destruction of an F-16. https://english.pravda.ru/news/hotspots/160519-f-16-ukraine/

Friendly Fire Fiasco: Ukrainian Army Shoots Down Its Own F16 Jet, Pilot Killed It appears that the US-made F-16 fighter jet, which was handed over to Ukraine earlier this year, was downed by a Ukrainian Patriot air defense system in a friendly fire incident, Ukrainian lawmaker Maryana Bezuglaya said cited by TASS.
"According to my information, the F-16 of the Ukrainian pilot Alexey ‘Moonfish’ Mes was shot down by the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system due to a lack of coordination between the [military] units," she wrote on Telegram.
The lawmaker criticized the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for falsely describing the incident as "a crash."... ..Earlier, an unidentified US official told the Wall Street Journal that Ukraine had lost a donated F-16 fighter jet in the first such case. According to the official, the jet was not shot down, and the crash was likely due to pilot error. Later, the Ukrainian Air Force confirmed the death of a Ukrainian F-16 pilot, Alexey Mes. The man was trained to fly F-16, according to CNN. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/first-us-made-f16-jet-downed-ukraine-during-combat-pilot-killed
Simplicius, Last of the Wunderwaffen? F-16 Blasted Out of Sky in First Mission How would the pilot have been killed, you ask?
I would think like so: when the initial missile launches were recorded, Ukrainian pilots were sent to begin scrambling the jets to the sky to keep them out of harm’s way, as is standard for both sides. They know the exact speed and trajectory of Russian cruise missiles and can calculate the precise time they have until the missiles potentially reach the airfield in the west of the country.
The problem is: they can’t calculate Kinzhals in the same way. While they were initiating scrambling procedures, Russia may have fired some Kinzhals which would have reached the airfield in as little as under 3 minutes. Such a hypersonic missile could have hit the hangars even as the Ukrainian pilots were prepping the jets.
All in all, it’s a testament to the fact that modern near-peer, high-intensity conflict is not about wunderwaffe and ‘game changer’ toys. There is no such thing as a golden bullet or unicorn weapon that can really move the needle in near-peer conflict. It’s all about the totality of what your nation as a whole can bring to the table, economically, militarily, productively, and in terms of willpower, political influence, morale, etc.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has suggested that his Democratic rival and current vice president, Kamala Harris, and President Joe Biden are partly responsible for the assassination attempt against him last month.
In an interview on Tuesday with Phil McGraw, better known as Dr Phil, Trump said: “I think to a certain extent it’s Biden’s fault and Harris’s fault.” He accused the pair of “weaponizing government” against him and bringing in the “whole DOJ to try and get me.”
“They weren’t too interested in my health and safety,” the Republican nominee added, claiming that Biden and Harris “were making it very difficult to have proper staffing in terms of Secret Service.”
According to the former president, Harris and Biden portrayed him as a “threat to democracy,” which “can get assassins or potential assassins going.” “Maybe that bullet is because of their rhetoric,” Trump suggested. https://www.rt.com/news/603216-trump-biden-harris-assassination-attempt/

Keeping It Together (pictured with Jenny and okra plants)
We live in a nightmare of falsehoods, and there are few who are sufficiently awake and aware to see things as they are. Our first duty is to clear away illusions and recover a sense of reality. If war should come, it will do so on account of our delusions, for which our hag-ridden conscience attempts to find moral excuses. To recover a sense of reality is to recover the truth about ourselves and the world in which we live, and thereby to gain the power of keeping this world from flying asunder.
