India Lands On The Moon
Cooperative Earthlings,
India successfully soft-landed a robotic vehicle, Chandrayaan-3, on the moon this morning. Touchdown is at 44:50 on the video log.
Narendra Modi waits for it from the BRICS summit in South Africa,then talks too long before blessing everybody who helped. Then the pride and joy are released.
I watched the elation of the proud Indian space program workers as they celebrated together in this previously-"live" video. Credit was broadly shared.
Sasha Latypova explains how we are a lot like Large-Language-Model A.I. in our cognitive responses to spoken words, unless we are actually paying attention.

Peter McCullough MD points out that the wording on the Kaiser survey was pro-vaccine and pro-mainstream-narrative, but about 1/3 of respondents KNOW.
Kaiser Family Foundation Finds Many Believe COVID-19 Mass Vaccination Responsible for Sudden Deaths
As you can see it is roughly a third of Americans are awake and understand the COVID-19 vaccines have failed, cause great harm, and pose a giant safety risk to Americans. It is also interesting to note a quarter of respondents have been awakened to the link between childhood hyper vaccination and autism spectrum disorder. I wonder what the actual sentiment is on vaccines if Kaiser had asked the questions in a more unbiased manner and did not load up their survey with charged words such as “false” and “misinformation”.
Chris Hedges: The Crucifixion of Julian Assange

This is the same P.R. push that got my Family Practice Board Certification of 33 years revoked for "advising patients against COVID-19 vaccination" this spring.
Dr. Richard Baron, president and CEO of the American Board of Internal Medicine, is a client of Weber Shandwick — a PR firm that brands its team as “misinformation and disinformation” experts — investigative journalist Paul D. Thacker reported on Wednesday.
The head of a national medical organization who publicly called for doctors to lose their licenses unless they supported government narratives on COVID-19 treatments and vaccines concealed his relationship with a public relations firm whose client list also included Pfizer, Moderna and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Dr. Richard Baron, president and CEO of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) is a client of Weber Shandwick, investigative journalist Paul D. Thacker reported on Wednesday.
In late [actually early] 2021, Baron publicly pushed for doctors who spread “misinformation” about COVID-19 and the vaccines to lose their license and certification. Baron said then that “putting out flagrant misinformation is unethical and dangerous during a pandemic.”
Weber, the world’s second-largest PR firm, has branded its team as “misinformation and disinformation” experts and says it provides clients with services to help manage any perceived threats posed by spreaders of such information.
The firm has organized conference panels on “medical misinformation” in which Baron participated.
Last year, Baron partnered with Weber Shandwick to propose a South by Southwest (SXSW) panel titled “When Doctors Prescribe Misinformation.” The proposal was subsequently accepted and the panel took place at SXSW in Austin, Texas, on March13. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/richard-baron-misinformation-weber-shandwick-conflict-of-interest-pharma-cdc/
Wagner Decries 'Murder' Of Prigozhin Amid Reports Anti-Air Missile Struck Plane
The bodies of Prigozhin and his second-in-command Dmitry Utkin, have reportedly been identified, according to statements which have been quick to come out of Russian media. Russian news agency TASS has also made it official: "Evgeny Prigozhin and Dmitry Utkin were on board the crashed Embraer plane, the Federal Air Transport Agency reported." ...
..Russian authorities have said eight bodies have been recovered thus far. FT has summarized the following details of emerging Wagner statements:
A post by Grey Zone, a Wagner-connected social media channel, claimed Russian anti-aircraft defences had shot down the plane. It said that residents heard “two bursts of characteristic air defense fire” before the crash. “This is confirmed by inversion traces in the sky in one of the videos,” it added. Mash, a news outlet on social media app Telegram, said locals had heard two loud bangs before the crash.
The same report cited a Western official to say it was an anti-aircraft missile that struck the private jet:
A western official said they had been told the plane had been brought down by a Russian anti-aircraft missile system but could not confirm whether Prigozhin was on board, adding: "Putin doesn’t take prisoners." ...
..Speculation continues as to precisely what brought the plane down (whether missile or a bomb detonation)...
[There is another report that a case of expensive wine was loaded on Prigozhin's plane after it had been searched and sniffed for explosives, just prior to takeoff.]
..Former Putin advisor Sergei Markov: “The murder of Prigozhin is the main achievement of Ukraine and all enemies of Russia will rejoice” — Al Jazeera https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/prigozhins-dead-after-his-business-jet-10-people-board-has-crashed
Ukrainska Pravda adds these tidbits (not mentioning that it is the eve of Ukrainian Independence Day.):
The Russian state TV channel Russia 24 reported on the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin, saying he had died "as a result of the actions of Russian traitors".
The Russian media saw symbolism in the fact that the plane crash occurred on August 23, exactly two months after the Wagner PMC mutiny. Prigozhin announced his "march of justice" on the evening of 23 June. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/08/23/7416832/
Same exact day, might Surovkin be tasked to run Wagner now? ... Russia Fires General Who Ran Ukraine War, In Wake Of Wagner Mutiny Events
After significant internet rumors emerged Tuesday, Russian state news agency RIA confirmed Wednesday that Gen. Sergei Surovikin has been fired as head of the country's air force. He has been "missing" - or believed under house arrest, since the Wagner mutiny events of June 23-24. He had for months prior overseen Russia's war efforts in Ukraine...
..Alexei Venediktov, former head of the Ekho Moskvy, a prominent independent radio station that was shut down by authorities within days of the Ukraine invasion was the first to report that Surovikin had been dismissed on Tuesday, but said the general was being "retained by the defense ministry." [Not "detained"]
The man known as 'General Armageddon' is believed to have come under Kremlin scrutiny as Putin cracked down on the military chain of command over handling of the short-lived rebellion led by Yevgeny Prigozhin. That's when he was effectively 'disappeared' from public view. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/russia-fires-general-who-ran-ukraine-war-wake-wagner-mutiny-events
Rand Paul On Return Of COVID Measures: “These People Have No Shame”
“I promise you, we are not going to lay down and take it again”
“That university that’s wanting to mask up and do all this testing — zero cases,” Paul urged, adding “But even worse than that, even when COVID was really more potent in 2020, the death rate for young, healthy people turned out to be close to zero.”
“We don’t know for sure because the CDC won’t release it, but we do know that Germany released all of their data, and not one young, healthy person died. So, it’s a crime to mandate masks. It’s a crime to mandate vaccines, which do have some risks for young, healthy people,” Paul further noted. https://summit.news/2023/08/23/rand-paul-on-return-of-covid-measures-these-people-have-no-shame/

They also attached a TikTok video which included a yellow, red, blue, green, and white cloth being ruined by a laser. One can note that the blue cloth remained intact. The TikToker said:
“Laser weapons can be programmed for different wavelengths. There was something blue they didn’t want to burn.”
The TikTok video also showed how a blue car and a blue umbrella remained undamaged while their surroundings were burned down.
The Twitter user claimed that the Direct Energy Weapons theory was used in an episode of The Simpsons where a blue building remained untouched. However, it is important to note that the episode was not set in Hawaii.

Matt Taibbi on Germany's hard core form of censorship: Madness: American Satirist C.J. Hopkins Sentenced in German Speech Case
As previously detailed in Racket, the American playwright has been sent a "punishment order" and a choice: 60 days or 3,600 Euros for two tweets and a book cover.
Fourteen major American cities are part of a globalist climate organization known as the 'C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group,' which has an 'ambitious target' by the year 2030 of '0 kg [of] meat consumption,' '0 kg [of] dairy consumption,' '3 new clothing items per person per year,' '0 private vehicles' owned, and '1 short-haul return flight (less than 1500 km) every 3 years per person.' ...
The organization is headed and largely funded by Democrat billionaire Michael Bloomberg. Nearly 100 cities across the world make up the organization, and its American members include Austin, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Seattle...
..Major funders and partners of the organization include George Soros's Open Society Foundations, the Clinton Foundation, and The World Bank.

Improvement of Main Cognitive Functions in Patients with Alzheimer's Disease after Treatment with Coconut Oil Enriched Mediterranean Diet:
A Pilot Study
Objective: The aim of this study is to detect changes in the main cognitive functions of patients with AD after following a coconut oil enriched Mediterranean diet, and to determine whether there are differences in function of stage or sex.
Methods: A prospective, longitudinal, qualitative, analytic, experimental study was carried out in 44 patients with AD, who were randomly divided into two homogenous groups of 22 patients each: an experimental group of patients who followed a coconut oil enriched Mediterranean diet for 21 days and a control group. In order to determine the cognitive changes after the intervention, we carried out the 7 Minute Screen, which analyses temporal orientation, visuospatial and visuoconstructive abilities, and semantic and episodic memory.
Results: After intervention with coconut oil, improvements in episodic, temporal orientation, and semantic memory were observed, and it seems that the positive effect is more evident in women with mild-moderate state, although other improvements in males and severe state were also shown.
Conclusions: The isocaloric coconut oil enriched Mediterranean diet seems to improve cognitive functions in patients with AD, with differences according to patient sex and degree of severity of the disease, although more studies in this line are needed. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30056419/
All My Marbles (pictured preparing chicken wire cage to protect from ravenous deer)
Ok. In that respect, I don't see nations, I see clusters of people.
Travel and absorb more by all means. India can take 10 years to even cover the basics!
In that respect I found america, especially the desolate midwest (just before 911) to be beautiful
or say a glimpse of what a supposed empire looks like actually.
Hi John. Thanks for the reply. I suggest do not be a fan of any nation. Glad you traveled and formed fond memories. Alas, Indians now are no different from the Chinese and X. Especially the middle class of India worships the America they see in movies, news etc. Imagine that...
