Geopoltical Interim Update may 4, 2022

APPL and MSFT cracking mean we are close to the final capitulation. This happens once in a while, A series of selling climaxes. Btw big money is buying hand over fist as they can't deploy all their money in one shot. But the last lot will be deployed close to the bottom.

Understand this before they had 10 million to play with, then it went up to 10 billion, then 100 billion, then 1 trillion. Now its in the mega trillions. So By logic, it means more extreme moves in both directions. Some estimate that these shadow players have more than money the combined GDP of the world to play with. Regardless of the sum, that sum has gone up by at least 10,000% and that's a conservative estimate.

The Bizarre, Unanimous Dem Support For The $40b War Package To Raytheon And CIA: "For Ukraine"
While a small portion of these funds will go to humanitarian aid for Ukraine, the vast majority will go into the coffers of weapons manufacturers such as Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Boeing and the usual suspects. Some of it will go to the CIA for unspecified reasons. The extreme speed with which this was all approved means there is little to no oversight over how the funds will be spent, who will profit and how much, and what the effects will be for Ukraine and the world.

U.S. officials insist that this war will last not months but years, and that it will stand with Ukraine until the bitter end.

Russia has almost completed the land corridor to the Crimea that will connect the Donbas to Crimea which was their primary goal. I despise wars as the innocent are the ones that always get shafted. But if you look at a map, you can see that the war is over. Russia won the battle, and now all that remains is how many pieces Ukraine will be divided into


Red areas are the ones Russia controls. Mauripol has all but fallen. Once Donbas falls the Russians will most likely go for Odessa and Kharkov.

It's unfortunate as none of this needed to happen, and so many millions of innocent individuals in Ukraine, Yemen, Syria, etc all have been affected as a result of the US military industrial complex.

I got a note from my congressman trying to excuse his vote in favour of HR7691:

"For example, the majority of the funding is going to replenish our own military forces in Europe and weaponry stockpile that is now dangerously low."

I sat down and read the bill and I wrote him back pointing out that the section dealing with replacing defence articles was $9bn but the Department of State (>$18bn) and USAID (>11bn - run by Samantha Power, vomit) came out as big winners. Interestingly, $8.3bn of DoS's largesse comes under the direct purview of Mr 10% (International Disaster Assistance and Foreign Military Financing Programs).

DoJ gets $67m related to countering Russian aggression (ie seizing private property etc?). Even the CDC gets in on the act to the tune of $54m.

Although in two areas there was additional funds for Inspector Generals, Rand Paul is holding up the senate wanting an OIG to be appointed to review the disposition of the whole slush fund/package.

[LoriPrecisely]

Yes, and unfortunately, when men enlist they believe they are being patriotic, when in fact they are being used like pawns on a rich man's chessboard. No disrespect for any veterans in our group. I still hear it today. A friend's young son talked of wanting to serve his country. I said, "Don't do it." We have no threats on our own land. We are always going into someone else's land and creating problems. I have learned over the years, the US is the military arm of the UN, whose ultimate GOAL is a One World Governnent.

Russia is already attacking Odessa, disrupting supply lines. They want back the city that Catherine the Great built and by taking it they make Ukraine a landlocked country. Supplies then a have a long route avoiding the Russian air force.

Good for you!!! And, good for Rand Paul. So much corruption is becoming very apparent. We all have to do what we can to make a difference. Whenever I see headlines regarding how bad Putin is, I just shake my head in disbelief. In Bank of America the other day, I just plainly stated to the manager and the other worker, this entire war has been fabricated for nefarious reasons, and we are being lied to by the media, just like the covid narrative, and they both nodded in agreement.

Empire of Bioweapon Lies


This glimpse of “fear in a handful of dust” already ranks as one the prime breakthroughs of the young 21st century, presented this week by Chief of Russian Radiation, Chemical, and Biological Protection Force Igor Kirillov.

The provisional results of evidence being collected about the work of U.S. bioweapons in Ukraine are simply astonishing. These are the main takeaways.

U.S. bioweapon ideologues comprise the leadership of the Democratic Party. By linking with non-governmental biotechnology organizations, using the investment funds of the Clintons, Rockefellers, Soros and Biden, they profited from additional campaign financing – all duly concealed. In parallel, they assembled the legislative basis for financing the bioweapons program directly from the federal budget.

COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers Pfizer and Moderna, as well as Merck and Gilead – of Donald “known unknowns” fame, and affiliated with the Pentagon – were directly involved.

U.S. specialists tested new drugs in the Ukraine biolabs in circumvention of international safety standards. According to Kirillov, acting this way “Western companies seriously reduce the costs of research programs and gain significant competitive advantages.”

According to Kirillov, “along with U.S. pharmaceutical companies and Pentagon contractors, Ukrainian government agencies are involved in military biotechnology activities, whose main tasks are to conceal illegal activities, conduct field and clinical trials and provide the necessary biomaterial.”

The Pentagon, Kirillov pointed out, expanded its research potential not only in terms of producing biological weapons, but also gathering information on antibiotic resistance and the presence of antibodies to certain diseases among the population in specific regions. The testing ground in Ukraine was practically outside the control of the so-called “international community”.
These findings, amply documented, suggest a vast “legitimized” bioweapon racket reaching the highest levels of the American body politic. There’s no doubt the Russians plan to thoroughly unmask it for the benefit of world public opinion, starting with a War Crimes Tribunal to be set up this summer, most probably in Donetsk.

An ongoing U.S. bioweapons program in Ukraine was one of the Top Three reasons that led to the launch of Operation Z, side by side with preventing an imminent NATO-managed blitzkrieg against Donbass and Kiev’s desire to re-start a nuclear weapons program. These are Top Three red lines for Russia.

The strength of the collected evidence may directly correlate with what was largely interpreted as a carefully measured Victory Day speech by President Putin. The Kremlin does not bluff. It will certainly privilege the meticulous presentation of – bioweapon – facts on the ground over grandstanding rhetoric.

The return of Nord Stream 2

Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Dmitry Polyaniskiy announced Russia’s demand for an open meeting of the UN Security Council to present further evidence related to U.S. biolabs in Ukraine. Even if the meeting would be vetoed by the U.S., the evidence will be entered by Russia on the UN records.

These developments provide an extra indication there’s absolutely no space left for diplomacy between Russia and the U.S./collective West, as Polyaniskiy himself suggested when commenting the possible accession of Ukraine to the EU: “The situation has changed after Mr. Borrell’s statement that ‘this war should be won on the battleground’ and after the fact that the European Union is the leader in deliveries of arms [to Ukraine].”

It gets worse. The next chapter is Finland’s drive to join NATO.

The Americans gamble that Finland – and Sweden – joining NATO will totally discredit Putin’s Operation Z as having accomplished next to nothing strategically: after all, in the near future, potential U.S. hypersonic missiles stationed in Finland and Sweden will be very close to Saint Petersburg and Moscow.

Meanwhile, Russian unmasking of the bioweapon racket will drive a toxic section of American political elites to turbo-charge their warmongering. It’s all following a carefully calculated script.

First, these bioweapon-supervising “elites” ordered the massive Kiev shelling of Donbas in early February. That forced the Kremlin’s hand, pushing it to launch Operation Z.

We should always remember that the ultimate goal in the U.S. plan of training Ukrainians for war since 2014 was to alienate Germany from Russia – as Germany de facto controls Euroland economically.

Imperial control of the oceans allows the Empire to strangle Germany at will into subservience by cutting them off from Russian energy – as the British did to Germany in WWII when Britannia ruled the waves. The Wehrmacht could not supply their mechanized army with fuel. Now, in theory, Germany and the EU will have to look to the seas – and total U.S. dependency – for their natural resources.

The remote-controlled Kiev regime dominated by SBU fanatics and Azov neo-Nazis is making it even harder – by shutting off all natural gas from Russia through Ukraine into Europe, reducing the flow by more than one third.

That translates as U.S.-enforced blackmail to force the EU to increase the Ukro-weaponizing against Russia. The practical consequences for Germany and the EU will be dire – in terms of shut down industries and cost of home heating and electrical power.

Russia, meanwhile, will rely on a bolstered Pipelineistan maze to China and East Asia as well as high-speed rail to transport all its natural resources.

Blowback against the Americans though is not off limits. Stranger things have happened. If gas transit to Europe via Ukraine is totally cut off, there are no alternatives. And that – assuming there are working IQs in Berlin – would open the way for a renegotiation on the future of Nord Stream 2.

As the head of the Energy Development Center Kirill Melnikov notes, “the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline is practically idle and one of the Nord Stream 2 lines is also ready for operation though the German regulator has not issued permission for its launch yet.”

That prompted Melnikov to a priceless comment: “If purchases remain the same, Germany will probably need to urgently allow the launch of one of the Nord Stream 2 lines in order to replace the Ukrainian transit route.”

No one ever lost money betting on the astonishing stupidity permeating EUrocrat decision levels. Even facing economic suicide, the EU is desperate to “abandon” Russian oil. Yet a full ban is impossible, because of energy-deprived Eastern Europe.

Every impartial energy analyst knows replacing Russian oil is D.O.A., for a number of reasons: the OPEC+ deal; the ghastly divide between Washington and Riyadh; the never-ending JCPOA renegotiation, where the Americans behave like headless chickens; and the crucial fact – beyond the understanding of EUrocrats – that European oil refineries are designed to use oil from the Urals.

So just when we thought we could enjoy the summer by watching Europe commit hara-kiri, it’s time to stock up on those Aperol Spritz. Get ready for a new hit series, season 1: Inside the American bioweapon racket.

Wow, excellent bit of information there. Even though we see the same names over and over again, Clinton's, Rothschild, Soros, they need thousands of minions to do their bidding. I am completely baffled by the number of people willing to play the game of destruction, greed and deception. Is it even possible to have a world free of corruption, where everyone acts with integrity?

[Yodean]

Nope - this has never been possible, and never will be. It will always be some version of the Individual against the Collective. The Herd is always your potential enemy, with few exceptions.

For short periods of time, running with the "right" Herd may be beneficial, but in my direct experience, one must be willing to leave the Herd - any group - at a moment's notice. The ability to stand alone for prolonged periods of time is a rare quality, in and out of the markets.

Otherwise, you will be stabbed in the back, at some point. Almost inevitable, but not necessarily imminent.

It is possible but highly improbable. To achieve this goal you need what they call a moral dictator, if that makes any sense at all. That dude or dudette would have to physically whack all the undesirables, lock them up or mentally whack them via the lobotomy procedure

Odds of this taking place on a global scale virtually nill. Odds of this taking place in some countries, nature is making this probable so it could happen in a few places but on a global basis hard to see anyone taking such a hard stance.

If you look at it humans are nothing but biological bots or a lower form of AI. I forgot where I read it but one researcher stated there was so much junk code lying around in the human body. Yes I mean code like machine code and it appeared we were created hastily as the coding was not that great.

If you work along the lines that we are biological bots or bio AI as AI comes down to computing power and in that sense humans currently have the most computing power relative to other species. One AI unit will eventually have more computing power than the entire human race. Well before that point is reached, AI will achieve consciousness and at a much higher level than 99.9% of most humans. Human consciousness is overrated in terms of its scope and value. Most humans are not even conscious so there is that also to consider. AI will also have the power to self diagnose, self-correct due to identifying the error correctly and eventually upgrade due to having the ability to recode broken sections.

Taking a long term view investing for the future is going to look very different once Real AI comes into play.Hint for one the stock market will be eliminated for in the real sense its a very inefficient mechanism that produces a lot of waste and does not deliver what it promises at least to the majority of players. More on this in the future.
