![]() The left-over expression vectors used to manufacture the mRNAs are at contamination levels 100-fold higher than originally proposed and imply trillions of DNA molecules per dose. This has implications for integration into our genome. — Jessica Rose The old saw tells us it takes only one bad apple to spoil the barrel. Unfortunately, one good apple in a barrel of bad apples does not have a corresponding positive effect. There are, be it said, a small number of good apples in a vast Covid-scam barrel of absolutely horrendous and rotting bad apples, but it has taken an inordinately long time for the better influence to be felt. Quantitative biologist Alex Washburne, an extremely good apple, has posted a major essay, "Scientists For Science — the "boys will be boys" of science," in which the tactics, strategies, intentions, and deceptions of the globoid villains are laid out plain to see. The con they have promoted is almost beyond belief, both in its scope and its success. Almost every country in the world, the financial elite, corporate Pharma, and the political class as a whole are implicated, with only a few exceptions like Sweden and Belarus. Professors Fredrik Andersson and Lars Jonung revel in the fact that Sweden, almost unique among nations in its pandemic policy, recognized that "China’s authoritarian government should not have served as a guide for a liberal democracy." Belarussian President Aleksandr Lukashenko claims that the World Bank and the IMF offered him $940 million to impose "extreme lockdown on his people," force them to wear face masks, decree strict curfews, establish a police state, and ultimately crash the economy. The sordid affair begins with bum science. A group called Scientists For Science, which Washburne dubs the "pathogenic academic lobby," includes such prestigious figures, among others, as National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Francis Collins, Peter Daszak at EcoHealth Alliance and Jeremy Farrar, head of the Wellcome Trust. All have "financial conflicts of interest connecting [them[ to the Wuhan labs" and "ties directly to the researchers of concern [who] may have caused the pandemic." Washburne is being ginger here, relying on a modal rather than a declarative, but the purport of his 16-page thesis leaves no doubt that such was the case. |

Russian defense chief credits troops' loyalty for failed Wagner Group mutiny |
2023-07-04 |
[Wash Times] A brief rebellion led by the founder of the Wagner Group mercenary army failed to oust Russia’s senior military leaders because troops remained loyal to their commanders, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Monday in his first known public remarks about the aborted uprising. He said the June 23-25 mutiny was nothing less than an attempt to destabilize Russia. "The provocation did not affect the actions of the troops. The servicemen courageously and selflessly continued to solve the tasks assigned to them," Gen. Shoigu said in an address to top Russian military officials. "Endeavor to persevere" Yevgeny Prigozhin, the former caterer turned military commander, regularly blamed Mr. Shoigu and General Valery Gerasimov, chief of the General Staff, for not supporting the Wagner Group and seeking to fold his organization into the Russian Ministry of Defense. On June 23, Mr. Prigozhin claimed Russian military forces attacked his base camps — a charge Moscow vehemently denied. Mr. Prigozhin sent his Wagner Group forces back into Russia, quickly capturing the city of Rostov-on-Don. The rebel troops got within about 120 miles of Moscow and then suddenly stopped, apparently as a result of negotiations by Aleksandr Lukashenko, president of Belarus. Mr. Prigozhin, who was allowed to remain in Belarus as part of the deal, said he decided to end the advance to avoid "shedding Russian blood." "I thank the personnel for their conscientious service," Gen. Shoigu said, according to Russia’s state-owned Sputnik news agency. • Mike Glenn can be reached at mglenn@washingtontimes.com.

Artemovsk. 05/18/2023 |
2023-05-19 |
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin [ColonelCassad] 1. The enemy will lose the last positions in the city before the end of the week - the average forecast now on both sides is 1-3 days. What remains of the Artemovsk garrison will crawl back to Krasnoye and Khromovo with losses in the coming days. The rest will remain in the city, since they have already stopped taking prisoners there. ![]() 2. Since after the ousting of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Artemovsk, the fighting will continue in the fields to the west of the city, as well as in the Khromovo and Krasnoy regions, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will continue to pretend that the "Bakhmut Fortress" is standing, after which, in 1-2 weeks, they will announce that "withdrew to more advantageous positions" and "in general, Bakhmut never mattered much." 3. The current attacks to the north and south of the city are unlikely to lead to significant breakthroughs in the front, but tactical successes may allow the Armed Forces of Ukraine to somewhat dampen the inevitable tantrums in Ukraine about the surrender of the Bakhmut Fortress. 4. In the middle of the day on May 18, the enemy continued to attack in the direction of Berkhovka and Kleshcheevka. There are intense battles. The enemy also continues to attack in the area of Sacco and Vanzetti. The village itself is held by our troops, the enemy is pressing from the northwest and north. Those reserves are now being used, which for a long time were collected in the area of Konstantinovka, Chasov Yar and Aleksandrovka. 5. With all the tactical troubles for us in the area of Bogdanovka, Kleshcheevka and Sacco and Vanzetti, the continuation of these attacks after the loss of Artemovsk by the enemy will allow, with competent command and control of the Russian Defense Ministry and the strengthening of the interaction of the RF Ministry of Defense with the Wagner PMC, to grind part of the enemy’s operational reserves in Slavyansko-Kramatorsk direction, which will be of no small importance in subsequent battles to break through the defense line of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Konstantinovka-Chasov Yar-Rai-Aleksandrovka, with the aim of a full-fledged entry into the Slavnya-Kramatorsk agglomeration. The fights here will also be heavy. https://t.me/boris_rozhin/86160 - the broadcast of hostilities continues as usual in the telegram, who are interested, subscribe More from Rozhin: Tikhanovskaya's voters in Artemovsk Tikhanovskaya's voters is a reference to Belorussian politician Sviatlana Heorhiyeuna Tsikhanouskaya, who attempted to unseat Belorussian president Aleksandr Lukashenko in 2020 presidential elections. [ColonelCassad] Remarkable footage of the destruction of the branch of the Belarusian Nazis from the gang "Kalinovsky's regiment" appeared. The operator patiently waited until the entire squad was unloaded and entered a house in a private sector on the western outskirts of the city, after which it flew over. Fans of white-red-white flags are not welcome on the territory of the Russian city of Artemovsk. PS. In the evening, "Wagner" took the last major fortified area "Domino" in the outskirts of high-rise buildings. A few hundred meters of Artemovsk remained at the disposal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow they will announce the liberation of the city. More from Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets Russian Defense Ministry units expose the flanks of Wagner PMC in Artemovsk Prigozhin said that the enemy is attacking north of the village of Sacco and Vanzetti. Sacco and Vanzetti is an actual name of a settlement near Artemovsk "Unfortunately, units of the Russian Defense Ministry retreated up to 570 meters north of Bakhmut, exposing our flags," said Prigozhin. "I appeal to the top leadership of the Ministry of Defense publicly, because my letters are not read "Please don't give up the flanks.... Hold on as best you can for a few more days." P.S. Evgeny Viktorovich apparently means that after the final liberation of Artemovsk (about 1.28 km2 of the 41 km2 of the city area remained), the PMCs will free up forces to hold the flanks on their own. In general, it is strange, the front is basically standing still, and at the same time, the task of holding two villages causes so many difficulties for Shoigu and Gerasimov. Yesterday Prigozhin spoke about Gerasimov's "rebound". Here is yesterday's summary from the head of the PMC: "Today, units of PMC Wagner have advanced up to 260 meters, occupying an area of 180,000 square meters. The enemy has 1.28 square kilometers left under control. The enemy is putting up fierce resistance. Fights are going on for every house, for every entrance, for every square meter territory, despite the fact that a couple of percent of the territory remained under the enemy in Bakhmut. It is not possible to encircle the enemy due to the fact that, as reported by the Ministry of Defense, the Russian Airborne Forces, as a result of the offensive in the Artemovsk region, occupied an advantageous line. Yes, indeed, the Russian Airborne Forces, as a result of the enemy’s offensive in the Artemovsk region, occupied a line advantageous for the enemy. This new strategic maneuver, which, I am sure, will be included in all military textbooks, will be called "instantaneous, decisive rebound from the enemy", "rebound of Gerasimov". Brusilovsky breakthrough. Therefore: "AN INSTANT, RESOLUTION FROM THE ENEMY", unfortunately, today does not allow Artemovsk to be slammed, but we are advancing and in the coming days Artemovsk will be taken." |

Russki High-Rollers Horrified By Ukrainian Mess |
2014-07-21 |
![]() Mrs. Bobby told me last evening that they were pulling their money out of Russia. This is the closest I could find. If Putin doesn't move to end the war in Ukraine in the wake of last week's downing of a Malaysia Air jet in rebel-held territory, he risks becoming an international outcast like Belarus's Aleksandr Lukashenko, whom the U.S. famously labeled Europe's last dictator, one Russian billionaire said on condition of anonymity. What's happening is bad for business and bad for Russia, he said. "The economic and business elite is just in horror," said Igor Bunin, who heads the Center for Political Technology in Moscow. Nobody will speak out because of the implicit threat of retribution, Bunin said by phone yesterday. "Any sign of rebellion and they'll be brought to their knees." Does The Bear have an IRS? Oh, I guess the KGB/FSS/FIS would suffice. The U.S. has already imposed penalties on state-run companies and members of Putin's inner circle. The latest sanctions, announced a day before the Malaysia Air attack, barred OAO Novatek, a gas producer partly owned by Timchenko, from using U.S. debt markets for new financing with maturities longer than 90 days. Novatek's London shares fell 8 percent over two days, cutting its market value by almost $3 billion. Just a little ripple in the stock market, no big deal. Amid market turmoil provoked by the Ukraine conflict, the 19 richest Russians lost $14.5 billion since the start of the year, compared to an increase in wealth of $56.5 billion for the richest 64 Americans, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. In round, fat numbers, each Rooshian billionaire lost a billion, while each Capitalist/Socialist/Marxist American made a billion. Evocative comparison, don't you think? |

Belarus wants out - Foreign Affairs |
2014-03-23 |
Russias partners are understandably spooked. Early in the Ukraine crisis, when pro-Western protesters were camping out in Kiev, Aleksandr Lukashenko, Belarus president, seemed happy to see Russia encourage the Ukrainian regime to crack down. Like Putin, he had no desire to see Ukraines fellow Slavs in Russia or Belarus copying the slogans and tactics of the Ukrainian protestors. (Lukashenko is still scarred by the demonstrations that followed the controversial 2010 elections, in which he won a fourth term in office.) But Russias military intervention in Crimea was a very different matter. Lukashenko pointedly refused to send observers to Crimeas March 15 referendum. He has also defied Moscow by saying that he will work with the new pro-Western government in Kiev (which Putin has described as illegitimate). There are good reasons for Belarus to feel threatened. It does not have any single enclave with a majority ethnic-Russian population like Crimea, although approximately eight percent of the population in eastern Belarus is ethnically Russian. But Russia is the dominant language across all of Belarus. According to Putins reasoning for seizing Crimea, even Belarus could one day be a target of Russian pressure. (Its similarly plausible, if not even more likely, that Russia would stage an intervention in Kazakhstans Russian-speaking north.) Even if it is unlikely that Russia would invade Belarus anytime soon, Lukashenko does have reason to worry about the consequences of joining Putins Eurasian Union. For one, Lukashenko may already sense that the Eurasian Union wont be the economic boon for Belarus that he had once imagined. Although he may have hoped that it would provide an open market for cheap Belarusian goods, its precursor, the Customs Union, has so far underscored that Belarusian goods have difficulties competing in a free market, even with goods produced in Russia or Kazakhstan. Further, even as Russia talks of creating a mutually beneficial partnership, it has been trying to weaken the states around itself. Ukraine is not the only such example. Georgia and especially Moldova have come under pressure as they try to tie up their EU Agreements in 2014. The last thing that Lukashenko wants is to become another weak leader challenged by domestic revolt, often fomented by Russia, who then becomes dependent on Russia to survive -- as Yanukovych would have become if he had not overreacted to the protests in Kiev and been forced to flee, or as Serzh Sargsyan has already become in Armenia. Even worse, Lukashenko knows he could end up as a tin-pot dictator of a mini-state, like Yevgeny Shevchuk, the president of Transnistria, or Sergei Aksyonov, the new prime minister of Crimea. |

Ousted Kyrgyz President Charged With Murder |
2010-04-28 |
MOSCOW Kyrgyzstan's new authorities have charged the country's former president with mass murder in the deaths of scores of antigovernment protesters earlier this month, an official in the provisional government said Tuesday. The police and presidential guards opened fire on thousands of demonstrators on April 7, killing at least 85 people. They failed, however, to stop the protesters, who commandeered weapons and an armored personnel carrier and overran the government. Kurmanbek Bakiyev, the former president, was forced to flee the country, and is currently in Belarus, where the president, Aleksandr Lukashenko, has guaranteed his security. The interim government has struggled to return order to Kyrgyzstan, an impoverished Central Asian nation that hosts a United States air base that serves as a transit hub for troops and equipment for the NATO mission in Afghanistan. The new government has made prosecuting Mr. Bakiyev a priority, and has vowed to seek his extradition from Belarus. Charges have been filed against Bakiyev for exceeding his authority and also for the mass murder of peaceful citizens,' Azimbek Beknazarov, the deputy head of the provisional government, said in a news conference in the Kyrgyz capital, Bishkek, Kyrgyz news agencies reported. Mr. Bakiyev has said his guards opened fire only after protesters started shooting into his office at the government headquarters in Bishkek. Dozens of police officers were also injured in the violence. The new government has said it will file charges against other members of the Bakiyev government, including some of the former president's family members. Russia, which has pledged its support to the new Kyrgyz government, has already extradited Mr. Bakiyev's former interior minister, who had been recovering in Moscow after being severely beaten in the protests. On Monday, the provisional government said that the former minister would also face charges in the deaths of the demonstrators. Officials in Belarus have given no indication that they intend to send Mr. Bakiyev back to Kyrgyzstan. Since arriving in Belarus last week, Mr. Bakiyev has appeared at news conferences with Mr. Lukashenko, in which he has challenged the authority of the new government in Bishkek and maintained that he remains president despite having announced his resignation in a letter to the new government. |

A "dictator" is a head of state who exercises arbitrary authority over the lives of his citizens and who cannot be removed from power through legal means. The worst commit terrible human-rights abuses. This present list draws in part on reports by global human-rights organizations, including Human Rights Watch, Freedom House, Reporters Without Borders and Amnesty International. While the three worst from 2005 have retained their places, two on last year's list (Muammar al-Qaddafi of Libya and Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan) have slipped out of the Top 10not because their conduct has improved but because other dictators have gotten worse. 1) Omar al-Bashir, Sudan. Age 62. In power since 1989. Last year's rank: 1 ![]()
2) Kim Jong-il, North Korea. Age 63. In power since 1994. Last year's rank: 2 ![]()
3) Than Shwe, Burma (Myanmar). Age 72. In power since 1992. Last year's rank: 3 ![]()

Between 250,000 and 300,000 political dissidents are held in "reeducation-through-labor" camps without trial. Less than 5% of criminal trials include witnesses, and the conviction rate is 99.7%. There are no privately owned TV or radio stations. The government opens and censors mail and monitors phone calls, faxes, e-mails and text messages. In preparation for the 2008 Olympics, at least 400,000 residents of Beijing have been forcibly evicted from their homes.
