  1. Here is a short description of Zoltan Pozsar’s call that a Bretton Woods 3 world monetary paradigm is taking shape. It predates Pozsar’s most recent writing, but describes BW3 in broad strokes. He says the world is moving towards a commodity-based method of trade settlement using national currencies instead of the USD. This will mean enduring inflation in western countries due to weakening currencies, increased shipping costs, and supply-chain interruptions.

    “Part of the solution will be to reprocess the water that results from sewage treatment and turn it back into drinking water – perfectly safe and healthy, but not something many people fancy,” said Sir James Bevan.

    Bevan stated that he expected the move to be “unpopular,” but said it was necessary to “change how we think about water,” despite the backlash to such proposals.

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has temporarily suspended a federal rule for fuel sales in four states, including Indiana, in response to a fire that occurred at an oil refinery in Indiana last week. It is feared that the incident may cause disruptions in both gas pricing and supply, AP reported.

    “As part of the Federal Government’s response to a fire and shutdown at the BP Whiting Refinery in Whiting, Indiana, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael Regan today issued an emergency fuel waiver to help alleviate fuel shortages in four states whose supply of gasoline has been impacted by the refinery shutdown,” EPA said in a statement.

    The Arizona Supreme court has shot down a proposed ballot initiative that would eliminate basic election integrity measures under the deceptive name “Arizonans for Free and Fair Elections.”

    The Democrat-backed dark money ballot initiative officially titled Proposition 210 would have made it even easier for them to cheat by expanding drop boxes and mail-in voting, voter registration to all regardless of their citizenship status, automatic voter registration, and banning post-election audits — like the Arizona Senate’s 2020 Election audit. Under the new law, it would be a class 6 felony to “provide voted ballots to a person” for the purpose of auditing an election.

  8. Gazprom To Slash NatGas Deliveries To France’s Top Utility As Squeeze Worsens

    TUESDAY, AUG 30, 2022 – 07:45 AM
    On Tuesday, Europe faced a worsening supply crunch after Russian energy giant Gazprom PSJC informed French utility Engie SA that natural gas supplies would immediately be reduced because of contract disagreements, reported Financial Times.

    Engie said Gazprom notified it of “a reduction in gas deliveries, starting today, due to a disagreement between the parties on the application of some contracts.”

    Gazprom’s reductions in NatGas over retaliation for sanctions related to its invasion of Ukraine have primarily targeted Germany and eastern Europe but now appear to extend to France. The continent is facing the worst energy crisis in half a century, sending prices of NatGas to record highs on supply shortage concerns ahead of the winter season.

      We have looked 400 years into documented diplomatic history between countries – in 400 years, no country, no alliance, no block has sanctioned itself into a crisis. No party has cut itself off from resources and energy voluntarily.

      Let’s not forget that Russia did not stop energy supplies to Europe. Europe literally stopped them all by themselves. They sanctioned their own supplies.

      Now European media openly talks about Russia “weaponizing” its natural resources. How did Russia weaponize its natural resources?

    BAGHDAD — Moqtada al-Sadr, a populist Shiite cleric, called on his supporters Tuesday to immediately withdraw from a government district in Baghdad after a day of fierce fighting there killed dozens of people, deepening the political crisis in the country.

    The bloodshed erupted Monday after Sadr announced his resignation from politics in a message posted on Twitter. His supporters reacted by storming the presidential palace in the government district known as the Green Zone, which houses ministries as well as foreign missions, including the U.S. Embassy.

    “I apologize to the Iraqi people,” Sadr said in a televised speech early Tuesday afternoon. “I was hoping for a peaceful demonstration, not with mortars and weapons. I don’t want such revolution,” he said.

    Minutes after his speech ended, groups of men, some carrying rocket-propelled grenades or other weapons, could be seen walking away from the Green Zone. Iraqi authorities announced the lifting of a curfew in the city that was imposed Monday.

    “It is not at the level we would like to go into combat,” a US defense official told The Wall Street Journal of the Pentagon’s fast depleting stockpiles due to unprecedented defense aid to Ukraine, and stressed in particular that artillery ammunition is now “uncomfortably low”.

    What’s more is that the shortfall will likely last into the future, given the norm is for new purchases and then manufacturers supplying the weapons to take a process of years.

    “The U.S. has during the past six months supplied Ukraine with 16 U.S. rocket launchers, known as Himars, thousands of guns, drones, missiles and other equipment. Much of that, including ammunition, has come directly from U.S. inventory, depleting stockpiles intended for unexpected threats, defense officials say,” the report spells out.

  15. Sanctuary City’ NYC Buckles As Migrant Hotel, Intake Center Plans Fall Apart

    TUESDAY, AUG 30, 2022 – 10:23 AM
    While New York City signaled plenty of virtue over their “sanctuary city” status, the Big Apple failed to put their money where their mouth is when it comes to actual resources, and are currently drowning amid a surge in illegal immigrants after Texas began sending busloads of border crossers.

    Department of Homeless Services tells the NY Post that it’s abandoned a plan to operate an intake and processing center for the new arrivals, alongside a 600-room shelter at the ROW NYC hotel on 8th Ave. in Midtown – a yet-to-open facility that was supposed to be up and running two weeks ago.

    DHS also admitted that it has yet to select and rent any of the 5,000 hotel rooms the agency said it is seeking to house migrants across the city.

    Instead, officials are continuing to commingle migrants with New Yorkers in the city’s existing shelter system — which now includes 15 “emergency” hotel facilities to also help handle a summer population surge, according to the DSS on Friday.

    City Hall has refused to say how much the city is spending on housing migrants in the homeless-system hotels, but a Post analysis found the cost could surpass $300 million. -NY Post

  16. bloomberg – France, Germany Could Look to TikTok, YouTube Bloggers to Fight Putin Propaganda

    Countries drafted joint non-paper about EU-Russia relations

    Discussion paper proposes video bloggers offer media literacy

    Germany and France want the European Union to drive a wedge between President Vladimir Putin and the Russian people with a campaign to counter propaganda within Russia and a visa policy that signals Europe is still open to ordinary citizens.

    In a joint non-paper titled “Defending the international order in an age of systemic rivalry: EU-Russia relations,” France and Germany say the EU needs to continue exploring “creative ways” to allow for the dissemination of independent information to and within Russia, according to a copy of the document seen by Bloomberg. A non-paper is an unofficial document drafted by technical experts from EU member states for closed-door discussions.

    The countries also call for open channels of communication with the Russian government, even as they urge broadening sanctions against Russian officials and continued financial and military support for Ukraine.

    The paper was circulated to EU member states ahead of a gathering of foreign ministers in Prague on Tuesday and Wednesday, where they’ll discuss the topic of a visa ban for Russian tourists. Baltic states have been pushing to ban EU visas to Russian tourists, but German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has urged more caution.

    The Franco-German paper stresses the “transformative power of experiencing life in democratic systems at first-hand,” adding the countries’ caution against far-reaching restrictions on visas, “in order to prevent feeding the Russian narrative and trigger unintended rallying-around the flag effects and/or estranging future generations.”

    ‘Technical Measures’

    The plan to counter domestic propaganda could include using “technical measures against Russian censorship, i.e. via an Internet Censorship Circumvention Hub,” the paper says, as well as providing Russian language content for Russian speaking minorities abroad. Another suggestion includes funding media literacy courses in Russian that could be disseminated by video bloggers on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, Telegram channels and Vkontakte, the paper says.

    Meanwhile, the EU should “retain certain channels of communication with Russia” to minimize the risk of unintended escalation and ensure “a minimum of cooperation” in areas of overriding interest, such as at the UN Security Council or over a nuclear deal with Iran, the Franco-German document says.

    French President Emmanuel Macron’s frequent phone calls with Putin previously drew criticism he was too soft on the Russian president. The French leader has since defended the efforts saying he had hoped to find a path forward with Putin “via trust and reasoning.”

  17. Armed moped thieves terrorize Manhattan: Grab-and-Go crooks rip $12K Rolex from man’s wrist while woman fights off two men trying to grab her necklace outside Guggenheim
    By Andrea Cavallier For Dailymail.Com

    New York City has been hit by spate of recent thefts by armed moped thieves who aggressively drive up onto city sidewalks and attack unsuspecting victims

    Three of the most recent attacks happened over the weekend where thieves ripped a $12,000 Rolex watch from a man’s arm while he was walking in Chelsea and the very next day, two women walking near the Guggenheim Museum on the Upper East Side fought off thieves on a moped who tried to snatch their jewelry.

    third attack happened in Inwood. In all three, the thieves on bikes jump the sidewalks, reach out at their unsuspecting victims and attempt to rob them.

    Major crime in NYC is on the rise with a 35 percent increase since the same time last year, according to NYPD data. Robberies, grand larcenies, and auto thefts fueling the crime wave.

    This weekend’s moped attacks began on Friday when a 64-year-old man was ambushed as he was walking along West 23rd Street toward 7th Avenue in Chelsea around 1 p.m.

    Video shows thieves on dirt bikes and a moped jumping the curb and cornering him on the sidewalk. One of the thieves then jumps off the bike and and forcibly grabs a $12,000 Rolex watch off the man’s wrist and then shoves him to the ground.

    The man appears to be doing his best to hang on to the watch, but wasn’t able to stop the thief. The victim had minor cuts to his right arm and hand, but refused to be treated at the scene.

    The next day, two more brazen attacks involving thieves on mopeds were reported in Manhattan – including one near one of the city’s most popular museums.

      It’s Open Season on Jews in New York City

      [Description of recent slam-dunk case – punted]
      … Perhaps the attack, which stemmed from a seemingly innocuous dispute over a parking space – a common enough occurrence in a densely populated place like Crown Heights, and one that almost never ends with anyone in the hospital – was just too fraught of an event for the police to want to handle too aggressively.

      Maybe someone feared that drawing additional attention to a group of young Black men attacking a prominent Orthodox Jew would threaten to inflame tensions in a neighborhood with a long but mostly improving (and generally misunderstood) history of racial division.

      Maybe, but maybe not: Overload in the New York court system, increasingly lenient prosecutors and judges, and a police department in which officers are quitting at a growing clip, all make it easier for even open-and-shut cases to languish, and for people at every level of the system to find excuses not to resolve them.

      The dysfunctional handling of public order takes different forms across the city, and across the country: Philadelphia is experiencing record murder rates; San Francisco experimented with decriminalizing certain forms of property crime, at least until its pro-reform district attorney lost a recent recall election.

      As with various other recent American traumas, the ambient disorder has its own distinct characteristics as far as Jews are concerned. In a study released this past July, the New York-based group Americans Against Antisemitism found that of the 118 adults arrested for anti-Jewish hate crimes in New York City since 2018, only one has been convicted and sent to prison.

    is evident the Democrat Party rigged its primary election and the general election by simply tracking the turnout of a candidates rally, Hoft argued.

    “Trump really blew them away in 2016. Hillary really thought she had it made. All the sudden Trump’s numbers were just so much bigger than they ever imagined.

  19. Nobel Prize-winning German Biologist: Multiple Genders Are “Nonsense” and “Unscientific”
    by Michael Tennant August 29, 2022

    Nobel Prize-winning German developmental biologist called the transgender movement’s claims “unscientific” and “nonsense,” and their plans to let teenagers determine their own gender “madness.”

    In an interview published last week by the German feminist magazine EMMA, Dr. Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard cited hard scientific facts to counter the trendy notion that there are multiple genders.

    “All mammals have two sexes, and man is a mammal,” she explained. “There’s the one sex that produces the eggs, has two X chromosomes. That’s called female. And there’s the other one that makes the sperm, has an X and a Y chromosome. That’s called male.” (English translation courtesy of Google Translate.)

    While there are animals that produce both sperm and eggs, such as snails, and thus can create offspring without having to mate, this “does not change the fact that there are two germ cells, eggs and sperm, and therefore two sexes,” said the 79-year-old winner of multiple scientific awards, including the 1995 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

    A federal court on Tuesday canceled a hearing over Trump election lawyer John Eastman’s attempt to reclaim his seized phone.

    The court canceled the hearing after the corrupt Justice Department obtained a second search warrant which undermined Eastman’s case.

    The hearing was set for September 6, 2022.

    “Given that the Government has affirmed to the Court on the record that a warrant has been issued, the Court finds that Eastman cannot make a good faith argument that an evidentiary issue on the existence of warrant remains,” Judge Robert Brack, a George W. Bush appointee wrote.

    New York Post reporter and author Miranda Devine joined Steve Bannon on The War Room on Tuesday morning.

    This was after news broke on Monday that top FBI agent Tim Thibault, who opened the Trump investigation, was escorted from FBI headquarters on Friday.

    Thibault was allegedly the mastermind behind the affidavit to raid Mar-a-Lago earlier this month. He also was a known Trump-hater with longtime connections to the Clintons and the Obamas.

    During their conversation, Miranda revealed that the FBI was illegally spying on Rudy Giuliani for years and knew when he was contacted by John Paul Mac Isaac about Hunter Biden’s computer. Miranda says the FBI even knew her articles on the laptop from hell were going to be published before The New York Post ran them.

    • Gorbachev: Pushing New World Order, World Government
      by William F. Jasper – November 3, 2011

      Excerpt:

      On October 12, Gorbachev was at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the alma mater of Alger Hiss, who went on to become president at Carnegie after a career of treason as a Soviet agent in the U.S. State Department. In a video interview with Carnegie’s Lilia Shevtsova, Grobachev is asked if he regrets the demise of the Soviet Union (which competes with Communist China for the title of the most murderous police state in the history of the world). “Yes, I do regret it very much,” he responds.

    Biden on Tuesday traveled to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania to promote his ‘Safer America Plan’ to ‘reduce gun crime.’

    Biden delivered remarks at the Marts Center at Wilkes University after hiding out for several days.

    At one point Joe Biden went off-script and threatened “right-wing Americans.”

    “For those brave right-wing Americans… if you want to fight against the country, you need an F-15. You need something little more than a gun,” said Biden.

  26. Maria Bartiromo will be deposed in defamation case against Fox News

    Maria Bartiromo will be the next Fox News star to appear for a deposition in Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation case against the network over its airing of false claims made about the company during 2020 presidential election coverage.

    According to a filing in Superior Court in Delaware, Bartiromo is scheduled to give her deposition on Sept. 8 as the lawsuit filed last year by Dominion moves forward. The maker of electronic voting software and hardware headquartered in Toronto and Denver is seeking $1.6 billion in damages in the closely watched defamation case.

    Bartiromo is anchor of “Mornings with Maria,” a daily program on Fox Business Network. She also hosts “Sunday Morning Futures,” one of the most watched weekend programs on Fox News.

    She is among the Fox program hosts who allowed former President Trump’s allies and lawyers Rudolph W. Giuliani and Sidney Powell to promote disproven theories that the election was stolen with Dominion’s assistance in rigging the results.

    Dominion’s lawsuit said Bartiromo continued to feature voter fraud claims made about the company “even though she had been specifically notified that independent fact-checkers, government officials and election security experts debunked those lies.”

    Other Fox News personalities called to give depositions include prime-time star and Trump confidant Sean Hannity, who is scheduled to appear Wednesday, and the network’s top-rated provocateur, Tucker Carlson, who sat for questioning last week.

    The court has also called Lou Dobbs, who is a named as a defendant. Dobbs is a former host of a nightly opinion program on Fox Business Network on which many conspiracy theories regarding the 2020 election were presented.

    Meade Cooper, who oversees prime-time opinion programming on Fox News, has also been called, along with other executives.

    Dominion has stated in court filings that it intends to show Rupert Murdoch and his son Lachlan, the top officers at Fox News parent Fox Corp., were allowing falsehoods about voter fraud on the network’s programming even though they knew that Trump had lost the election.

    The Murdochs and Fox News Media Chief Executive Suzanne Scott have not yet been asked to appear for depositions.

    Fox News is expected to counter that the news division’s reporting on the allegations of voter fraud leveled by Trump and his lawyers was newsworthy and protected by the 1st Amendment.

    The government’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency found no evidence that voting systems in the 2020 election were compromised. Testimony in the Jan. 6 House select committee hearings has shown that numerous Trump aides and his attorney general, William Barr, saying the level of fraud needed to change the election’s outcome did not exist.

    The question now circulating among current and former Fox News employees is whether the company will forgo paying hefty a settlement and be willing to go to trial. The company recently changed attorneys — hiring high-profile Chicago-based trial lawyer Dan Webb — an indication it is ready for that possibility.

    The inherent risk in going to trial would be having Fox News personalities testify and likely questioned on internal emails and documents related to the conservative network’s programming procedures.

    “We are confident we will prevail as freedom of the press is foundational to our democracy and must be protected, in addition to the damages claims being outrageous, unsupported and not rooted in sound financial analysis, serving as nothing more than a flagrant attempt to deter our journalists from doing their jobs,” Fox News said in a statement.

    Fox News is also facing a $2.7-billion defamation suit from Smartmatic that says Fox presented false conspiracy theories and accusations about the company’s role in the election that damaged its reputation.

  28. From ASB Military News translation of op-ed by Boris Rozhin:
    Kherson – an example of false propaganda and a successful psychological warfare operation

    Today, in many Western media there is information that the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the very beginning use the “Operational concept of resistance”, which was developed by the United States and allies in the North Atlantic Alliance back in 2013, and allows you to counteract superior enemy forces. This concept provides for an unconventional approach to warfare and total defense, in which both military personnel and the civilian population take part.

    As for the civilian population, we are talking not only about the use of mobilized territorial defense, but also about the promotion of important information and psychological warfare. And in Ukraine, all of that is going well.

    The pumping of panic into Kherson, Kakhovka, Nova Kakhovka and a number of other Russian Armed Forces-controlled settlements did not begin yesterday, but several months before the “counteroffensive” itself.

    There is no doubt that the disinformation crackdown on the topic of “breaking through the Russian defences”, massive artillery and rocket attacks”, as well as the activation of the DRG, which began yesterday in the Ukrainian telegram channels & took place simultaneously.. all at once – there’s no doubt that these are links of the same chain -coordinated from one “decision-making center”

    Yes, the lie was total – Ukraine’s MSM unanimously announced the “evacuation” from Kherson, the predetermined future of the entire region, the “historical moment” of the NWO.

    Later, when it became clear that the offensive had stalled, no one was even attempting to refute anything.

    This is a psychological warfare operation, and Kiev has succeeded in it.

    Ukrainian Dominance in the operational information field really caused panic among the Russians and a feeling of “overcoming” among the Ukrainians.

    Although, in fact, there were no Ukrainian tanks near Kherson and Kakhovka.

    The enemy must not be underestimated, modern warfare cannot be viewed solely from the standpoint of military tactics. Ukraine is weaker than Russia in terms of weapons, but they have excellent mentors and good manuals… (11:50, 8/30/22)

    We will address some common misconceptions we noticed:

    – Zaporozhie: The city is not under Russian Armed Forces control, only the nuclear power plant is — which carries the same name. (And its surroundings)

    – HIMARS: there’s no such thing as a a “HIMARS type shell”, they’re just normal guided MLRS shells. There’s nothing special about the shell that makes it difficult to intercept. All MLRS are notoriously difficult to intercept due to the nature of their trajectory/approach to target.

    – Russia is cut off from supplies in Kherson: – no. Russia is not Ukraine. You can’t completely cut them off from supplies. They don’t exclusively rely on land bridges like Ukraine does. They put down their own pontoon bridges when needed, they can also air lift equipment if necessary. It’s not an ideal situation but it’s not an isolating situation to them. Kherson can always be re-supplied through Crimea. This is the sole reason Russia rushed there in initial days, it’s strategically very important to control that border.

    – Ukrainian command: there’s no such thing. NATO controls the war and the strategy. NATO advisors, NATO orders and NATO weapons, ex-NATO military personnel: from troops to officers are on the frontlines. This is not by coincidence.

    – Arms control deal between Russia and US: such deals require trust. Russia does not trust the west anymore. They have publicly stated that. Therefore, the chances of a deal on arms control between the two countries are very, very slim.

    – Kharkov is getting hit but no action— these statements are simply clueless. People do not realize the scale of this war. The equipment and fortifications are insane. This has never happened in history, positions with such fortifications have not been observed in any war in the past.

    It takes pounding and pounding and pounding before the city is strategically weakened. Every hit costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, we can assure you that they’re all strategically dismantling Ukrainian positions. Kharkov is huge, it is crawling with Ukrainian troops and equipment. 21:03, 8/30/22
