Outside The Box, Red found this: Russian Claim: Austin Dead In Ukraine Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was allegedly killed in Kyiv on January 3 when Russian cruise missiles peltered a command bunker where Austin and Lieutenant General Valerii Zaluzhnyi, commander in chief of the Ukrainian Army, met secretly to discuss mounting an asymmetrical offensive to “bring Vladimir Putin to his knees,” claims a Russian FSB source known for providing invaluable intelligence and the truth behind Putin’s Special Military Operation in Ukraine.
We just can't tell anymore who's saying anything close to truth. When something doesn't smell right go looking. If anything turns up toss it out in places where you find some people that seem to be genuine and see it can hold against honest scrutiny. I believe our host here is of the highest quality and thank him for his honesty and integrity. Keep digging and pushing Evil H it takes a community to raise a child it also takes a community to fend off real evil.
You deserve more reader comments, Dr. J. Nice summary, BTW.

And first, of Washington's lost Ukrainian Proxy War to weaken Russia and pillage its resources, perhaps the greatest and most feckless imperial play, something of a progress update.

As much as I love your posts, I have to correct you. Australia does not have a "nuclear" submarine fleet, in fact what we do have is well known to be weak and insufficient
I didn't say that Australia "does" have a nuclear submarine fleet. It may have been mentioned in a link, and would refer to the breaking oof the deal with France (to great French dismay and expense) while making a new deal with the US, stabbing French industry in the back, and subsidizing American industry. That's all I know about Australia and nuke-subs lately, a junior partner of the US, as one might put it.
They have been part of maintaining the neocolonial framework, following the late-colonial conquest of Spanish colonies, but a newer, more efficient paradigm seems to be coming into play, multipolarity. The efficiency for the colonies will help it become, and I expect it to be subject to human corruption in a few generations.
Neo-colonialism with neoconservatism and neoliberalism was more efficient than original colonialism, but has now eaten all the seed-corn. Debts are becoming unserviceable. Oil declines terminally (but slowly).
I'm getting old enough to start to understand cycles in the flows.
Just dropping by to read your comment section. Read the blog over at TAE as you probably know. I should drop by more often jus to add the likes for you, I will try to be better!
Thanks again Dr. Day and Happy New Year wishes to you, Jenny and family.
A quote from Celia Farber on Monarch Programming:
"That feeling, so common of late, that the mind is being assaulted, and the “normal”responses are fleeing into the sub-conscious/repressed, where shame grows."
I've seen numerous similar claims in the past year. But! I don't feel this way and neither do those around me. Sure, we see and hear the US-West embaressing lies and nonsense, at the same time we see and hear the comments and news of the rest of the world. We can pick and choose, we can discuss, nothing is forbidden. Perhaps it is distance? Greece is technically in the West through US diktat because of geo-location but is only one of many of West's despised "reject" territories. I guess her comments must apply to the english speaking Echelon world. Things must be very bad in parts of USA/England for speech to be so stifled that people live in fear / guilt. Are things REALLY that bad??
Thanks Eleni. I think the shame grows inside if one represses normal responses and actions. Just a guess... Like you, I don't do that much. I do try to be polite and constructive ... usually...
I'm getting better at it, but not necessarily when drivers are rude or threatening when I'm riding my bike.
Yes...."happy"...hmm. Positive and constructive is the better way right now and always. The japanese believe in doing at least one constructive thing each day, I believe the more you accomplish each day the stronger and more energetic you feel - this is mostly modest stuff but it makes way for the best stuff :-)
I instinctively don't like these comments about "shame" etc. - it reminds me of Bibi Netanyahu's claim that ALL of Europe feels guilt about the Holocaust, which is complete BS. Why should Portugese or Greeks or Serbians etc. etc. or for that matter Americans feel guilt? It makes no sense, none of us had nothing to do with it...(whatever "it" exactly was). These monsters make a lot of braindead claims - like the forever US foreign policy claim that bombing civilians of target country X is going to turn them against their leaders (and not against the bombers, LOL).
It is all about WORDS, a battle of words. The bombing claim would be aimed at Americans: never having experienced invasion half asleep Americans might accept that without questioning. The Euro guilt claim is to keep Israeli pressure going to leach money and obeisance. And so on.
And it is all nonsense and most everyone knows it.
Apologies, I didn't mean to imply that Americans are half asleep which you clearly are not. I was referring to the uninterested, indifferent or overwhelmed citizens...they exist in every countr.
Is Real Raw News, meant to be a ridiculous parody site?
Katie Hobbs hanged at Gitmo?
Raffensperger and Colorado Supreme court judges arrested?
Did the National Enquirer change it's name?
Real Raw News might be real or parody on any given story. It's a legal defense, isn't it?
Dima at Military Summary Channel is careful to say that he has nothing from an official source, but he has picked-up the story now.

I hadn't considered that angle.,
What a world we live in.

But hey, foreign wars are good for the US economy...

Americans are Variously asleep, of course.

I wonder if anybody you know has insights into Llyod Austin's "condition".
:-)
Let the grass grow. What is planted under the glass balls? Enjoy the sunshine!
Tomato seeds are sprouting under the clear glass bowls.
Gotta go for a bike ride while it is sunny.
Glad to have planted a tinfoil-hat-conspiracy-theory to grow in yer mind today...

Lloyd Austin is now a subject for American remorseful-pity.
It looks like they are arranging for him to "die of complications of cancer".
