Fifty-one Million (51,000,000) citizens are REQUIRED to participate to practice evacuating to shelters or underground safe spaces during the 20-minute exercise. | The drill, scheduled for 2:00 PM on Wednesday, August 23, will see many drivers required to pull over to the side of roads and the exits to subway stations closed with commuters required to remain inside, a statement from the South Korean Interior Ministry said. ● The release said the 20-minute drill is part of a larger exercise to test the South Korean government’s response to potential threats including “advanced nuclear missile threats, cyber attacks, drone terrors, etc.” ● The prime minister also called on South Koreans to take the drills seriously, something that hasn’t always been the case. ● The Interior Ministry said 17,000 shelters would be open nationwide, and locations are searchable in popular Korean online apps. ● The South Korean prime minister said the civil defense drill would be held in conjunction with large-scale US-South Korea military exercises that have drawn sharp criticism from Pyongyang in the past. ● It will also come less than a week after South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol travels to the United States for a trilateral meeting with US President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, where “the continued threat posed by” North Korea will be on the agenda, according to a White House statement.

Reader comment on post about new video interview with Dr. Jane Ruby:

What was the name of that book that details the BIS?
Tower of Basil/Babel/Baphomet :)
Thanks in advance!
Want to learn more about who runs the show.

My reply, revised/expanded:
:-)
Tower of Basel. Author: Adam Lebor.

Katherine Watt / Bailiwick News | I think it’s a very good and useful book, but did find it helpful to translate the statements he reports about the benevolent intentions of the men who set up the BIS to their actual, malevolent intentions. For example, prior to Covid, I would have simply accepted their statements about the need to have centralized finance and governance in Europe for the purpose of preventing more world wars, at face value. And that was one of their key arguments to generate political support, or at least political inertia, among the governments that eventually formed what’s now the European Union. ● Having seen through those kinds of benevolent/malevolent lies by means of Covid, it’s easier to do those translations while reading Lebor’s book and get even more depth of understanding out of his reporting. ● Taking the same example, the actual purpose of the EU centralization project was to further the long-term BIS owners’ goals of population control and the stripping of national identity and national sovereignty that stand in their way. And they fomented the world wars to create the pretexts for the ensuing centralization of power. ● BIS owners have made the same types of argument as to why the bank must be chartered outside of all national legal systems, through international treaties that make it a law unto itself. They say that control of international finance is too important to be subject to governments that change and shift in response to political forces, suggesting that they are somehow not also political in nature, and engaged in a geopolitical project to carry out their own geopolitical ideologies.

YouTube has introduced a new “medical misinformation policy” that will censor any medical or health-related content that doesn't align with claims made by the World Health Organization (WHO). | YouTube earlier had a “COVID-19 Misinformation Policy” webpage that stated that the platform doesn’t allow any content that “poses a serious risk of egregious harm” and spreads “medical misinformation” contradicting what the WHO or local health authorities (LHA) say about the COVID-19 pandemic. The webpage now redirects to a “medical misinformation policy” page that expands the censorship rule to “specific health conditions and substances” rather than COVID-19 alone.

In the video below from the Russian Ministry of Defense, Russia just publicly accused Deep State actors and Big Pharma of manufacturing the COVID pandemic to take over the world. | They even listed Obama, Clinton, Biden, and Soros, of being the main “Ideologists” behind the plot. Below, a video from a Briefing by the Chief of Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Protection Troops of the Russian Armed Forces Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov: "Pentagon conducts uncontrolled dual-use research in circumvention of international obligations under the BTWC (Biological and Toxin Weapons Control Treaty)."Put succinctly, the Russian Military officially and publicly accuses the US of releasing bioweapons to create “crisis situations”, and claims the US is planning to do it again. This is the biggest story in human history, and yet it is somehow remaining largely unnoticed. UPDATE 11:22 AM EDT --Television stations all over Russia are carrying this bombshell accusation as a major leading news story. In this interview, Lt General Igor Kirillov goes even further in the accusation, saying the US is going to do it again.

In March 2021, nearly every country in the world had more billionaires than they did at the outset of the pandemic in mid-March 2020. Amongst these new billionaires were 40 people who became new billionaires practically overnight solely from covid. At the same time that these billionaires were getting richer, hundreds of millions were getting poorer and hundreds of millions more were driven to extreme poverty. | In February 2021, the World Economic Forum reported that according to the International Labour Organisation, 114 million jobs were lost in 2020 and others saw their working hours reduced due to covid restrictions. “The ongoing crisis has disrupted labour markets around the world at an unprecedented scale.” Since the covid pandemic began, Oxfam reported, vulnerable communities around the world have been sending a clear, urgent and repeated message: “Hunger may kill us before coronavirus.” Oxfam noted it was the greatest rise in inequality.

ING | A NATO official who sparked a backlash from Kyiv for suggesting Ukraine could cede territory to Russia in exchange for NATO membership appeared to walk back his comments on Wednesday. 💬 “My statement about this was part of a larger discussion about possible future scenarios in Ukraine, and I shouldn’t have said it that way. It was a mistake,” Stian Jenssen, chief of staff for NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, told the Norwegian newspaper VG. “It is completely Ukraine’s independent right to decide.”

Anatoly Antonov stressed that Moscow is in favor of the speedy repatriation of all Russian citizens held in American prisons | Russia is demanding that the US stop "hunting down" Russian nationals in third countries and is prioritizing the repatriation of all compatriots imprisoned in the US, Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov said. 💬 "Russia has always opposed Washington’s 'hunt' for Russians in third countries. It demands that this practice stop. However, the [US] Administration continues to live in a world of its own, built on their own rules while ignoring the interests of other countries. We will never agree with such an approach," the diplomat said on the Russian embassy's Telegram channel. "It is an absolute priority for us. This is why we consider speculation on this issue unacceptable. […] We fight for these people to get [them] back to their homeland, [back to] their families as soon as possible," he noted.

Mike Whitney | The Biden Administration is implementing a plan to draw Taiwan into a direct military confrontation with the People’s Republic of China. | The plan bears many similarities to the strategy that was used in Ukraine where Russia was goaded into invading the country in response to emerging threats to its national security. In this case, Beijing is expected to react to mounting challenges to its territorial integrity by US proxies and their political allies operating in Taiwan. These incitements will inevitably lead to greater material support from the United States which has stealthily worked behind the scenes (and in the media) to create a crisis. The ultimate objective of these machinations, is to arm, train and provide logistical support for Taiwanese separatists who will spearhead Washington’s proxy war on China. According to a number of independent reports, there is already growing operational collaboration between the Taiwanese Army and US Armed Forces. That collaboration will undoubtedly deepen after hostilities break out and the island is plunged into war.

Green power unlikely to generate enough energy to run the country without radical reform, says Business Select Committee | Britain will struggle to keep the lights on using only net zero electricity as the roll-out of green energy lags far behind target, MPs have warned. ● Falling investor confidence and bureaucratic delays mean Britain’s efforts to produce entirely clean electricity are at risk of stalling, MPs on the cross-party Business Select Committee said. They are calling on the government to come up with a “coherent, overarching plan” to boost green supplies — or risk missing climate targets. ● Demand for electricity is expected to soar as households buy electric cars and heat pumps. Darren Jones, the Labour MP who chairs the committee, said: 💬 “Ministers think that publishing strategies and releasing social media videos will deliver the energy infrastructure the country needs. “Its failed before and it keeps failing. Without a coherent, overarching delivery plan, the Government risks undermining the UK’s ability to generate, store and distribute the fossil fuel free electricity the country needs to hit net zero.”

The United Kingdom's Secret Intelligence Service, commonly known as MI6, has prepared a sabotage unit of 100 Ukrainian fighters to be sent to Africa to counter Russia-Africa cooperation, a military-diplomatic source has said. 💬 "According to information confirmed by several sources, the British intelligence service MI6 has formed and prepared for deployment to the southern continent a sabotage and punitive detachment consisting of militants of Ukrainian nationalist and neo-Nazi formations to counter the development of cooperation between African countries and Russia," the source said. ● The source added that Kiev, at the request of London in July 2023, ordered that Ukraine's Security Service and the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (GUR) "provide maximum and prompt assistance to representatives of the British intelligence MI6 and SAS special unit in the selection of 100 fighters from the Ukrainian national formations with significant combat experience on the 'eastern front.'" The unit is planned to be sent to Africa by "a chartered civilian ship from the [Ukrainian] port of Izmail to the [Sudanese] city of Omdurman during the second half of August," the source said. GUR officer Lt. Col. Vitaliy Prashchuk, who has experience of "successful liquidations" and participated in MI6 operations in Zimbabwe, will head the unit, the source said.

Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia's Federation Council (Senate) said today that if Ukraine wants to join NATO, it must cede territory to Russia, INCLUDING ITS CAPITAL, KIEV, and move its capital to Lviv. | Medvedev was commenting on the idea of the Chief of Staff of the NATO Secretary General, Styan Jensen, that Ukraine can get membership in NATO, if it agrees to cede territories to the Russian Federation, noting that the idea is interesting, but that the issue of Ukrainian territory as a whole disputed. 💬 "In order to join the Alliance, the Kiev authorities will have to give up even Kiev itself, the capital of Old Russia, and they will have to move their capital to Lviv." ● In related news, Russia's Defense Minister, Shoigu, said today "Ukraine's military resources are 'almost exhausted' and that "Russia has ended Western military dominance."

Dmitry Medvedev | A new idea for Ukraine from the North Atlantic Alliance office: Ukraine can join NATO if it gives up disputed territories. Why? The idea is curious. The only question is that all the allegedly disputed territories are highly disputed. And in order to enter the bloc, the Kiev authorities will have to give up even Kiev, the capital of Ancient Rus. Well, they will have to move the capital to Lviv. If, of course, the Przeks agree to leave Lemberg to the lovers of lard and coke. (T)

Stew Peters won the American Liberty Award for Most Truthful Movie after his 'Died Suddenly' filmed exposed the genocidal bioweapon plot behind COVID and its jabs. | Stew Peters brought the house down with a powerful victory speech at the American Liberty Awards, calling for “extreme accountability” and “Nuremberg 2” tribunals for those behind the bioweapon genocide of Covid and its “vaccines” that have killed millions of people all over the world. ● Died Suddenly, the ground-breaking film produced by the Stew Peters Network exposing the genocidal agenda at the heart of Covid and its “vaccine” roll-out, won the title of “Most Truthful Movie” at the American Liberty Awards, which were held over the weekend in Austin, Texas. In a fiery victory speech, which prompted massive applause and chants of “U-S-A” from audience members, Peters fired a warning shot to the mass-murdering globalists responsible for the bioweapon-induced carnage, calling for them to face “maximum” and “extreme” accountability akin to the post-World War 2 Nuremberg Trials.

Victor Davis Hanson | What is the long-term Democrat strategy that requires such short-term malodorous skullduggery? | Joe Biden has about 17 months left as an elected politician—if he is lucky. That projection guides most of the inexplicable and shameless behavior of the Department of Justice and Biden himself. View Biden as in a race against the truth. Will he be physically and mentally able to complete his term and head to retirement before his decades-long crimes of corruption catch up to him? Joe Biden’s serial yarn that he never knew anything about his son Hunter’s quid pro quo grifting with rich foreign grandees has been finally exposed as the old lie it always was.  [...] Democrats will have enough trouble keeping Biden semi-coherent and upright over the 17 months without a string of indictments involving high crimes and misdemeanors from bribery to treason, if indeed Biden did alter U.S. policy at the bequest of his paymasters in China, Russia, Ukraine or Romania. In other words, Weiss was selected for his past loyal suppression of the Hunter investigation and his future further quashing indictments as special counsel. That fact almost ensures that Biden can finish his first term without an impeachment trial in the Senate or a forced Nixon-style resignation, given the enormity of his own illegality. Ensuring the viability of Biden’s next year-and-half will mean Kamala Harris does not inherit the presidency from either a physically or mentally incompetent Biden—or a president so reduced by bribery and racketeering counts that he is forced to resign.

The scientific devices of Russia's Luna-25 lunar mission went active and carried out their first measurements on Sunday, the Russian space corporation Roscosmos said. | The first lunar mission in Russia's post-Soviet space history launched on Friday and is scheduled to land on the Moon on August 21. ● The space corporation confirmed that telemetry information from all the devices showed that they are functioning nominally. ● The data gathered by the station on its way to the Moon has already been received, and the project's scientific team has begun processing it, according to the statement.

Katherine Watt | Building the case to prosecute members of Congress, presidents, HHS and DOD secretaries and federal judges for treason under 18 USC 2381. | I started looking closely at the legal architecture supporting the Covid national prison panopticon on Jan. 30, 2022, after hearing Attorney Todd Callender’s interview, which provided information about the American domestic legal framework; how it fit with the oddly-coordinated pandemic story told by governments worldwide; and how it relates to the World Health Organization International Health Regulations of 2005 at the center. ● Prior to that day, I’d spent a lot of time, with increasing confusion and alarm and despair, trying to figure out why the U.S. Constitutional legal system hadn’t put a stop to the nonsense as its nonsensicality became obvious to so many people. Why did it continue, with no end in sight, and not even a glimpse of a path to the end?

The call to mend ties between two nations, voiced by Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko, met a mixed reaction in Warsaw | Belarus must fulfill a list of Poland’s demands to mend relations with the country, Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Pawel Jablonski said on Saturday. The remarks came in response to a call for improving ties between the two nations, voiced by Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko. Jablonski expressed skepticism over Lukashenko’s statements, suggesting the call made by the Belarusian leader was actually nothing but "empty talk."

Drago Bosnic | It's hardly breaking news that there are numerous warhawks among the political elites in Washington DC. These people have been behind every instance of (geo)political instability initiated by the United States, be it illegal coups, civil wars, invasions, etc, all of which resulted in an exponential exacerbation of the supposed "problem" they were seemingly designed to "resolve". Such warhawks are oftentimes so shamelessly belligerent that they don't even bother concealing their openly planned war crimes under the guise of the mythical "moral high ground" used by other more subtle Washington DC warmongers.

Konstantin Kosachev called for testing the formula on the Kosovo conflict and NATO’s aggression in Yugoslavia | Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s "peace formula," which includes Russia’s complete surrender, points to Kiev’s unwillingness to engage in talks, said Konstantin Kosachev, deputy speaker of the Russian Federation Council (the upper house of parliament). 💬 "Any reasonable politician would view the stubborn demand for Russia to fully surrender, presented under the guise of ‘a peace plan,’ as evidence of Kiev’s complete unwillingness to engage in talks," he wrote on Telegram. "Zelensky’s ‘peace formula,’ is absolute proof that talks are impossible at this point, and it’s not Moscow’s fault," Kosachev added. ● According to the senator, the Ukrainian authorities don’t believe that the ultimatum for a complete surrender of one of the parties of the conflict would pave the way for negotiations but "they are pleased that people keep coming to listen to stories of how they are going to retake the self-determined regions, receive enormous reparations and try Russian leaders."

■ Ukraine: New Jewish ‘Promised Land’ (August 16, 2014) | The radical Zionist Chabad Jewish sect in the United States wants its community to move to Ukraine, their original Khazarian homeland. Jews, who make only 0.2% of Ukraine’s total population, have total monopoly over country’s government, media and finance. In 2005, professor Vasyl Yaremenko in an article, entitled ‘Jews in Ukraine today: reality without myths’, wrote: “Ukrainians need to know that the mass media is completely in the hands of Jews, and everything that we watch or read is the product of Jewish ideology…” ● Texe W. Marrs is an American Christian preacher, writer, author of several books and president of Power of Prophecy Ministries, based in Austin, Texas. He has already earned the titles of “anti-Semite” and “conspiracy theorist” from the US Jewish Lobby. In a recent article Texe Marrs claims that Jews are planning to turn Ukraine into second Jewish homeland.

[Editor's Comment] Zioinst Jews used to say, “A Land without a People for a People without a Land.” There were plenty of Palestinians in Palestine (still are) but somehow those Jews didn't consider the Palestians to be (a) people. They were "beasts walking on two legs." (Menachim Begin). Now the Anglo-Zionist empire ("the West") is preparing Ukraine (Khazaria) for the Zionist Jews. Vladimir Putin has said: “We have heard many times that the West wants to fight us to the last Ukrainian. This is a tragedy for the Ukrainian people, but it seems that everything is heading toward this.” As far as this editor can tell, what the West really means is that it is fighting Russia to the last non-Jewish Ukranian. That's the quiet part. They want Ukraine to be a land without non-Jewish Ukrainians. You see, we Gentiles are not people. None of our lives matter.

Pilots have yet to complete the necessary English language lessons and will only start combat training in January | The first batch of Ukrainian pilots are not expected to complete training on US-made F-16 fighter jets before next summer, the Washington Post reported on Friday, citing senior government and military officials in Kiev. ● According to the outlet, only six pilots are set to go through the first round of training, with two other pilots being reserved as backup candidates. Although they are all fluent in English, officials insist the pilots attend four months of English lessons in Britain, to learn specific terminology associated with the sophisticated jets. Only after they have completed these language courses will the pilots be able to start combat training. Ukrainian officials told the Washington Post that this will likely happen no sooner than January and that the F-16 training program itself will take six months. ● US officials have also told the Washington Post that another 20 Ukrainian pilots are ready to start English courses, with most of the country’s best pilots expected to remain in Ukraine during their language training as they continue to fly sorties in Soviet-era planes.

US Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) filed an impeachment resolution against US President Joe Biden for his alleged role in bribery, extortion, obstruction of justice, fraud and financial involvement in drugs and prostitution, according to a document published on Friday. 💬 "Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. has undermined the integrity of his office, has brought disrepute on the presidency, has betrayed his trust as president, and has acted in a manner subversive of the rule of law and justice, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States," the resolution reads. ● "Wherefore, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States." ● Steube said he designed the Hunter Act to help get to the bottom of the cocaine story when a package with the drug was found at the White House, because he alleged the Secret Service is doing everything possible to cover up the Biden family's actions. ● The resolution lists four articles of impeachment, including abuse of power, bribery, extortion, fraud, obstruction of justice, and financial involvement in drugs and prostitution.

One of the world’s most influential climate scientists has blown the whistle with an explosive admission by warning the public that claims of a “crisis” related to so-called “global warming” are “manufactured.” | Judith A. Curry is an American climatologist and former chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology. For years, Curry has been one of the leading voices warning that the Earth is facing an “emergency” due to allegedly “man-made climate change.” ● In recent months, the corporate media’s apocalyptic warnings of a “climate crisis” have dramatically increased. We are told that “climate change” is a “crisis,” there is an “overwhelming scientific consensus,” and anyone who dares question otherwise is a “conspiracy theorist” or, more recently, a crazy “MAGA Republican.” ● However, Dr. Curry, a renowned climatologist, has just admitted that the fearmongering “science” has been fabricated in order to scare the public into believing we must fight a “climate emergency.” “It’s a manufactured consensus,” Curry told the New York Post.
