Given the nature of the entire apparatus of government and media that is now united against him, it will be interesting to see if Carlson’s TV show survives.

      CNN – CNN fact-checks Tucker Carlson’s version of what led to police officer’s death on Jan. 6th

      ( 7 mim 40 )

    • Searching For Tucker Carlson’s Bombshell J6 Videos? YouTube Censors Will Direct You To Fake Fact Checks Instead

      YouTube is trying to sideline Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s bombshell reporting on new footage from inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, by couching searches for his program’s recent segment with news alerts from corrupt corporate media outlets.

      After reviewing more than 40,000 hours of unreleased video from Jan. 6, Carlson’s team found that Capitol police gave a guided tour to the infamous “Q-Anon Shaman”; that suspected undercover federal agent Ray Epps lied to Congress about his whereabouts on the afternoon of the chaos; and that the Capitol police officer Democrats claimed was murdered by protest participants was in seemingly good health and walking around the congressional complex that afternoon.

      Searching the Google-owned platform for evidence of these newly uncovered truths, “Tucker Carlson,” or any variation of the host’s name combined with “January 6 Videos,” however, returns a blue “developing news alert” that tops the search result page. The alerts vary in article content but always offer users the opportunity to click their way to a corporate media website.

      One alert for this particular news item suggests users read a CNN article titled “What to know about the Tucker Carlson January 6 footage” which questions the validity of the footage Carlson aired. The CNN write-up falsely accuses Carlson of trying to “downplay the violence” at the Capitol, and carries water for Democrats and the Jan. 6 Committee on topics such as the circumstances of Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick’s death.

      Another news alert offers to redirect users to a HuffPost article featured by Yahoo! News headlined “Hakeem Jeffries Sees No Sign Police Vetted Jan. 6 Footage McCarthy Gave Tucker Carlson.”

      Using quotes from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, the article seeks to sow doubt about Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s decision to share the unseen footage with the Fox News host. The left-wing aggregation company also tries to indict Carlson by accusing him of spreading “conspiracy theories about Jan. 6” and criticizing him for condemning the fraudulent Jan. 6 Committee.

      YouTube maintains that these alerts are designated to “elevate authoritative news sources” when a breaking event occurs. It’s unclear exactly which media outlets have curried enough favor with the Big Tech company to become featured above certain search results.

      YouTube does, however, disclose on its website that sources for any of its news features are produced by a combination of “machine learning techniques” and handpicked selections from unnamed “third-party human evaluators” based on criteria such as “Reporting intent, or videos with journalistic context” and “Association with websites whose content surfaces in Google News.”

      Both CNN and HuffPost are guilty of filling their coverage with lies and smears. Yet, both propaganda press outlets are boosted by YouTube because they are willing to disparage Carlson’s legitimate reporting on the Capitol riot.

      News alerts may be a softer form of censorship than YouTube typically uses, but they are indicative that the company is still committed to censoring Democrats’ political enemies at whatever cost.

      Several officials criticized Carlson’s comments on the Jan. 6 attacks as Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who gave Fox News access to surveillance footage from that day, dodged questions from reporters.

    • Elon Musk Says He Might Put A Propaganda Warning Label On CNN’s Tweets

      Twitter owner Elon Musk suggested Monday that he may be compelled to place propaganda warnings on tweets posted by CNN after it emerged that the network actively discouraged staff not to look into or share any COVID lab origin information.

      Fox News reports that an inside source at CNN has charged that the former president Jeff Zucker gave the order to everyone at CNN to back off any talk about COVID having originated in a Chinese lab, labelling it a “Trump talking point.”

      After a bombshell leak revealed that the Department of Energy has concluded, in addition to the State Department and the FBI, that the virus did likely leak from the Wuhan lab, the CNN insider said “People are slowly waking up from the fog,” adding “It is kind of crazy that we didn’t chase it harder.”

      Not only did CNN back off the lab leak theory, it began actively trying to debunk it with minions like Oliver Darcy writing stories headlined “Here’s how to debunk coronavirus misinformation and conspiracy theories from friends and family.”

      […]

      With all of this in mind, Musk responded Monday to a Twitter user who asked him, “When are you going to label CNN as State Affiliated Media?”

  1. President Trump reacted to the January 6 tapes released by Tucker Carlson Monday night.

    Fox News host Tucker Carlson Monday evening began releasing January 6 surveillance footage given to him by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

    Carlson showed footage of Officer Brian Sicknick walking around the Capitol healthy after he was claimed to have been killed.

    Tucker Carlson also released a video showing Ray Epps perjured himself in sworn testimony to the January 6 Committee.

    Another video released showed Jacob Chansley, AKA, the “QAnon Shaman” peacefully walking through the Capitol with police escort.

    January 6 Committee members Liz Cheney, Adam Kizinger, Nancy Pelosi and the media lied about what really happened on January 6.

    Cheney deliberately withheld this January 6 footage because it reveals the truth about January 6.

    Trump praised Tucker Carlson and lashed out at the January 6 “Unselect Committee” in a Truth Social post.

    “Congratulations to Tucker Carlson on one of the biggest “scoops” as a reporter in U.S. history. The New Surveillance Footage of the January 6th Events sheds an entirely different light on what actually happened. The Unselect Committee was a giant SCAM, and has now unequivocally been stamped as CRIMINAL FABRICATORS OF THIS MOST IMPORTANT DAY. Pelosi & McConnell failed on security. The Police story is sad and difficult to watch. “Trump” and most others are totally innocent, LET THEM GO FREE, NOW!” Trump said.

  2. Tucker Carlson released some of the promised Jan. 6 video footage on Monday and it dealt with a variety of subjects that he said showed that we hadn’t been told the truth about what had happened on that day.

    The first video and contradiction concerned the people at the Capitol. While there were people who were hooligans who broke in, the majority didn’t according to Carlson, coming in after the doors were opened and didn’t do destructive things inside the Capitol, walking peacefully like tourists through the building. Carlson pointed to the “QAnon Shaman” — Jacob Chansley, who got four years for his involvement in the events on Jan. 6.

    But what did he do, Carlson asked? He said it wasn’t clear how Chansley got into the building but he showed the CCTV footage from inside the building that showed Chansley who was unarmed being escorted around the building at a variety of points by cops, who even let him in and opened doors for him. They did not appear to try to stop him. Indeed, they seemed to act as his tour guides.

    According to reports, Gabriel Cuen-Butimea has a history of illegally crossing into the United States and multiple deportations.

    According to the defense lawyers, Mr. Kelly fired warning shots after he saw a group of men dressed in camouflaged clothing point an AK-47 right at him.

    George Alan Kelly was careful to shoot above their heads, the lawyers said.

  5. The idea that government and institutions should force the previously obscure concept of “equity” upon Americans may be a top priority of the Biden regime but even avowed socialists like Bernie Sanders seem to believe that it’s pure malarkey.

    On the latest edition of HBO’s “Real Time With Bill Maher,” the Vermont senator was put on the spot by the host over the two dramatically different ideas of equality and equity, grudgingly acknowledging that manipulating any process in order to guarantee outcomes isn’t preferable to him.

    “I think this word ‘equity’ has come into the language in the last few years and before that, we didn’t hear it a lot. And I think a lot of people hear ‘equity’ and they hear ‘equality’ like it’s the same word, but it’s not the same word and the same concept,” Maher said. “So how would you differentiate between equity and equality?”

    “Well equality, we talk about – uh, I don’t know what the answer to that is,” Sanders began, appearing to experience a brief moment of confusion before he continued.

  6. „Bachmut wird demnächst fallen“: Rückzug der ukrainischen Soldaten läuft

    „Nein, es gibt keinen Massenabzug ukrainischer Truppen“, stellte Serhii Cherevatyi am Wochenende beim US-Fernsehsender CNN klar. Der Sprecher des östlichen Truppenverbands der ukrainischen Streitkräfte versicherte, die Kämpfe mit den Russen fänden eher am Stadtrand statt, die Stadt selbst werde aber weiter von ukrainischen Soldaten kontrolliert. Der ukrainische Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj bekräftigte am Montagabend in seiner täglichen Videobotschaft sogar: Es sei die einhellige Entscheidung getroffen worden, nicht zu weichen, sondern die Truppen zu verstärken.

    Die russischen Truppen versuchen schon seit Monaten, die schwer umkämpfte Stadt Bachmut mit ihren einst 70.000 Einwohnern einzunehmen. „Wenn nicht noch eine Überraschung passiert, wird Bachmut demnächst fallen“, ist sich Oberst Markus Reisner vom österreichischen Bundesheer sicher. Er beobachtet die Entwicklungen an der Front genau und sagt im Gespräch mit dem RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland (RND): „Die Masse der ukrainischen Soldaten ist bereits aus der Stadt abgezogen worden.“ Die Russen kontrollierten jetzt alle Ausfallstraßen und es gebe eigentlich nur noch im Westen die Möglichkeit, sich über die Felder und Wiesen zurückzuziehen. „Der Rückzug hat bereits vor zwei Wochen begonnen.“ Zuerst habe die Ukraine schweres Gerät abgezogen, jetzt versuche sie, auch ihre Infanterie abzuziehen.

    Die Militärexperten des Institut for the Study of War (ISW) in Washington kommen zu einem ähnlichen Schluss. Demnach gebe es offenbar einen „begrenzten taktischen Rückzug aus Bachmut“ der ukrainischen Armee. Ob es sich um einen vollständigen Abzug handelt, sei noch unklar. Nach Angaben des Vizebürgermeisters von Bachmut, Oleksandr Marchenko, ziehen sich täglich fünf bis zehn ukrainische Soldaten zurück. Der Feind sprengt alles in die Luft, schlägt auf mehrstöckige Gebäude und den Wohnsektor ein. Es gibt Luftangriffe, Artilleriebeschuss und Mörserbeschuss“, sagte Marchenko CNN. Das ISW hält einen solchen „allmählichen“ Rückzug für plausibel.

    Bei den Kämpfen um Bachmut setzt Russland auf die berüchtigte Söldnertruppe Wagner, die nach ukrainischen Berichten bereits schwere Verluste erlitten haben soll. Laut der Regierung in Kiew gebe es täglich bis zu 500 Verwundete und Tote auf russischer Seite. Unabhängig überprüfen lassen sich die Angaben nicht.

    Die Verluste sind laut Militärexperte Reisner aber auch auf ukrainischer Seite sehr hoch. „Den Russen ist es gelungen, die Soldaten einer ukrainischen Reserveeinheit nach der anderen in Bachmut zu töten und zu verwunden.“ Diese letzten Wochen hätten die Offensivfähigkeit der Ukraine eingeschränkt. „Die russischen Truppen konnten durch den andauernden Druck in Bachmut die im Spätherbst letzten Jahres geplante Offensive der Ukraine im Raum Melitopol vorerst verhindern“, erklärt Reisner. Die Ukraine blute aus.

    Ob die Eroberung von Bachmut für Russland ein Erfolg wird, hängt laut Reisner entscheidend davon ab, wie viele ukrainische Soldaten sie gefangen nehmen können. „Sonst haben sie nicht mehr als ein paar weitere Kilometer Land erobert.“ Schon jetzt ist klar, dass Russland die Einnahme von Bachmut für seine Propaganda ausnutzen und als großen Erfolg verbuchen werde. Für die russische Propaganda wäre es ein großer Triumph, wenn Hunderte ukrainische Soldaten gefangen genommen würden, so der österreichische Experte. Aber danach sehe es im Moment nicht aus. „Es gibt zwar ukrainische Kriegsgefangene in Bachmut, aber bei Weitem nicht Hunderte, mit denen die Russen rechnen.“

    Die Militärexperten des ISW glauben nicht daran, dass den russischen Truppen die Eroberung von Bachmut gelingt, bevor die ukrainischen Streitkräfte abgezogen sind. „Das ISW geht davon aus, dass sich die ukrainischen Streitkräfte eher zurückziehen, als eingekreist zu werden.“ Die Experten warnten davor, dass die ukrainischen Versorgungswege abgeschnitten werden könnten. Armeesprecher Cherevatyi erklärte, dass die Verteidiger bisher noch Munition, Lebensmittel und Medikamente erhalten und Verwundete versorgen könnten.

    Um Bachmut tobt inzwischen die längste und blutigste Schlacht seit Beginn des Krieges, die Stadt ist nahezu vollständig zerstört. Der ukrainische Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj sagte am Wochenende, Kiews Streitkräfte befänden sich in einer „schmerzhaften und schwierigen“ Situation. Der Chef der russischen Wagner-Gruppe Jewgeni Prigoschin forderte in einem Video den ukrainischen Präsidenten auf, in Bachmut „seine Soldaten zu retten, die getötet würden, wenn sie sich nicht ergeben“.

    Die ukrainischen Streitkräfte bereiten sich längst auf den Tag vor, an dem sie Bachmut aufgeben müssen. Nach ISW-Angaben haben sie mehrere wichtige Brücken im Raum Bachmut zerstört, um russische Vorstöße zu behindern. Außerdem beobachtet Oberst Reisner, dass eine kleinere Verteidigungslinie vier bis fünf Kilometer von Bachmut entfernt errichtet wurde. „Im Raum Tschassiw Jar versucht die ukrainische Armee nun, Verzögerungsstellungen zu errichten“, sagt er dem RND. Es gebe dort einen Kanal, über den die Russen mit Panzern nicht ohne Weiteres herüberkämen. „Die nächste große Verteidigungslinie verläuft etwa 20 Kilometer weiter westlich, von Slowjansk und Kramatorsk in Richtung Süden.“

    • MARCH 7 2023 – NYT – Intelligence Suggests Pro-Ukrainian Group Sabotaged Pipelines, U.S. Officials Say

      New intelligence reporting amounts to the first significant known lead about who was responsible for the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines that carried natural gas from Russia to Europe.

      WASHINGTON — New intelligence reviewed by U.S. officials suggests that a pro-Ukrainian group carried out the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines last year, a step toward determining responsibility for an act of sabotage that has confounded investigators on both sides of the Atlantic for months.

      U.S. officials said that they had no evidence President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine or his top lieutenants were involved in the operation, or that the perpetrators were acting at the direction of any Ukrainian government officials.

      The brazen attack on the natural gas pipelines, which link Russia to Western Europe, fueled public speculation about who was to blame, from Moscow to Kyiv and London to Washington, and it has remained one of the most consequential unsolved mysteries of Russia’s year-old war in Ukraine.

      Ukraine and its allies have been seen by some officials as having the most logical potential motive to attack the pipelines. They have opposed the project for years, calling it a national security threat because it would allow Russia to sell gas more easily to Europe. Ukrainian government and military intelligence officials say they had no role in the attack and do not know who carried it out.

      U.S. officials said there was much they did not know about the perpetrators and their affiliations. The review of newly collected intelligence suggests they were opponents of President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, but does not specify the members of the group, or who directed or paid for the operation. U.S. officials declined to disclose the nature of the intelligence, how it was obtained or any details of the strength of the evidence it contains. They have said that there are no firm conclusions about it, leaving open the possibility that the operation might have been conducted off the books by a proxy force with connections to the Ukrainian government or its security services.

      Some initial U.S. and European speculation centered on possible Russian culpability, especially given its prowess in undersea operations, though it is unclear what motivation the Kremlin would have in sabotaging the pipelines given that they have been an important source of revenue and a means for Moscow to exert influence over Europe. One estimate put the cost of repairing the pipelines starting at about $500 million. U.S. officials say they have not found any evidence of involvement by the Russian government in the attack. 🙂 🙂 🙂

      Officials who have reviewed the intelligence said they believed the saboteurs were most likely Ukrainian or Russian nationals, or some combination of the two. U.S. officials said no American or British nationals were involved.

      The pipelines were ripped apart by deep sea explosions in September, in what U.S. officials described at the time as an act of sabotage. European officials have publicly said they believe the operation that targeted Nord Stream was probably state sponsored, possibly because of the sophistication with which the perpetrators planted and detonated the explosives on the floor of the Baltic Sea without being detected. U.S. officials have not stated publicly that they believe the operation was sponsored by a state.

      The explosives were most likely planted with the help of experienced divers who did not appear to be working for military or intelligence services, U.S. officials who have reviewed the new intelligence said. But it is possible that the perpetrators received specialized government training in the past.

      Officials said there were still enormous gaps in what U.S. spy agencies and their European partners knew about what transpired. But officials said it might constitute the first significant lead to emerge from several closely guarded investigations, the conclusions of which could have profound implications for the coalition supporting Ukraine.

      Any suggestion of Ukrainian involvement, whether direct or indirect, could upset the delicate relationship between Ukraine and Germany, souring support among a German public that has swallowed high energy prices in the name of solidarity.

      U.S. officials who have been briefed on the intelligence are divided about how much weight to put on the new information. All of them spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss classified intelligence and matters of sensitive diplomacy.

      U.S. officials said the new intelligence reporting has increased their optimism that American spy agencies and their partners in Europe can find more information, which could allow them to reach a firm conclusion about the perpetrators. 🙂 🙂 🙂 It is unclear how long that process will take. American officials recently discussed the intelligence with their European counterparts, who have taken the lead in investigating the attack.

      A spokeswoman for the C.I.A. declined to comment. A spokesman for the White House’s National Security Council referred questions about the pipelines to the European authorities, who have been conducting their own investigations.

      Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2, as the two pipelines are known, stretch 760 miles from the northwest coast of Russia to Lubmin in northeast Germany. The first cost more than $12 billion to build and was completed in 2011.

      Nord Stream 2 cost slightly less than the first pipeline and was completed in 2021, over objections from officials in the United States, Britain, Poland and Ukraine, among others, who warned that it would increase German reliance on Russian gas. During a future diplomatic crisis between the West and Russia, these officials argued, Moscow could blackmail Berlin by threatening to curtail gas supplies, on which the Germans had depended heavily, especially during the winter months. (Germany has weaned itself off reliance on Russian gas over the past year.)

      Early last year, President Biden, after meeting with Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany at the White House, said Mr. Putin’s decision about whether to attack Ukraine would determine the fate of Nord Stream 2. “If Russia invades, that means tanks and troops crossing the border of Ukraine again, then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2,” Mr. Biden said. “We will bring an end to it.”

      When asked exactly how that would be accomplished, Mr. Biden cryptically said, “I promise you we’ll be able to do it.”

      A couple weeks later, Mr. Scholz announced that his government would block the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from becoming operational. Two days after that, Russia launched the much-anticipated invasion.

      Since the explosions along the pipelines in September, there has been rampant speculation about what transpired on the sea floor near the Danish island of Bornholm.

      Poland and Ukraine immediately accused Russia of planting the explosives, but they offered no evidence.

      Russia, in turn, accused Britain of carrying out the operation — also without evidence. Russia and Britain have denied any involvement in the explosions.

      Last month, the investigative journalist Seymour Hersh published an article on the newsletter platform Substack concluding that the United States carried out the operation at the direction of Mr. Biden. In making his case, Mr. Hersh cited the president’s preinvasion threat to “bring an end” to Nord Stream 2, and similar statements by other senior U.S. officials.

      U.S. officials say Mr. Biden and his top aides did not authorize a mission to destroy the Nord Stream pipelines, and they say there was no U.S. involvement.

      Any findings that put blame on Kyiv or Ukrainian proxies could prompt a backlash in Europe and make it harder for the West to maintain a united front in support of Ukraine.

      U.S. officials and intelligence agencies acknowledge that they have limited visibility into Ukrainian decision-making.

      Despite Ukraine’s deep dependence on the United States for military, intelligence and diplomatic support, Ukrainian officials are not always transparent with their American counterparts about their military operations, especially those against Russian targets behind enemy lines. Those operations have frustrated U.S. officials, who believe that they have not measurably improved Ukraine’s position on the battlefield, but have risked alienating European allies and widening the war.

      The operations that have unnerved the United States included a strike in early August on Russia’s Saki Air Base on the western coast of Crimea, a truck bombing in October that destroyed part of the Kerch Strait Bridge, which links Russia to Crimea, and drone strikes in December aimed at Russian military bases in Ryazan and Engels, about 300 miles beyond the Ukrainian border.

      But there have been other acts of sabotage and violence of more ambiguous provenance that U.S. intelligence agencies have had a harder time attributing to Ukrainian security services.

      One of those was a car bomb near Moscow in August that killed Daria Dugina, the daughter of a prominent Russian nationalist.

      Kyiv denied any involvement but U.S. intelligence agencies eventually came to believe that the killing was authorized by what officials called “elements” of the Ukrainian government. In response to the finding, the Biden administration privately rebuked the Ukrainians and warned them against taking similar actions.

      The explosions that ruptured the Nord Stream pipelines took place five weeks after Ms. Dugina’s killing. After the Nord Stream operation, there was hushed speculation — and worry — in Washington that parts of the Ukrainian government might have been involved in that operation as well.

      The new intelligence provided no evidence so far of the Ukrainian government’s complicity in the attack on the pipelines, and U.S. officials say the Biden administration’s level of trust in Mr. Zelensky and his senior national security team has been steadily increasing.

      Days after the explosion, Denmark, Sweden and Germany began their own separate investigations into the Nord Stream operation.

      Intelligence and law enforcement agencies on both sides of the Atlantic have had difficulty obtaining concrete evidence about what happened on the sea floor in the hours, days and weeks before the explosions.

      The pipelines themselves were not closely monitored, by either commercial or government sensors. Moreover, finding the vessel or vessels involved has been complicated by the fact that the explosions took place in a heavily trafficked area.

      That said, investigators have many leads to pursue.

      https://i.pinimg.com/736x/89/c6/a2/89c6a2066180ba21dbece4848ca82dca–vintage-games-game-cards.jpg

      According to a European lawmaker briefed late last year by his country’s main foreign intelligence service, investigators have been gathering information about an estimated 45 “ghost ships” whose location transponders were not on or were not working when they passed through the area, possibly to cloak their movements.

      The lawmaker was also told that more than 1,000 pounds of “military grade” explosives were used by the perpetrators.

      Spokespeople for the Danish government had no immediate comment. Spokespeople for the German government declined to comment.

      Mats Ljungqvist, a senior prosecutor leading Sweden’s investigation, told The New York Times late last month that his country’s hunt for the perpetrators was continuing.

      “It’s my job to find those who blew up Nord Stream. To help me, I have our country’s Security Service,” Mr. Ljungqvist said. “Do I think it was Russia that blew up Nord Stream? I never thought so. It’s not logical. But as in the case of a murder, you have to be open to all possibilities.”

        ====================================

        […]Specifically, according to information from the ARD capital studio, Kontraste, SWR and ZEIT, the investigators succeeded in identifying the boat that was allegedly used for the secret operation.

        It is said to be a yacht rented from a company based in Poland, apparently owned by two Ukrainians.

        According to the investigation, the secret operation at sea was carried out by a team of six people. It is said to have been five men and one woman.

        Accordingly, the group consisted of a captain, two divers, two diving assistants and a doctor, who are said to have transported the explosives to the crime scenes and placed them there.

        The nationality of the perpetrators is apparently unclear. The assassins used professionally forged passports, which are said to have been used, among other things, to rent the boat.

        According to the investigation, the command set sail from Rostock on September 6, 2022.
        The equipment for the secret operation was previously transported to the port in a delivery truck, it is said.

        According to the research, the investigators subsequently managed to locate the boat again the following day in Wieck (Darß) and later on the Danish island of Christianso, north-east of Bornholm. The yacht was then returned to the owner in an uncleaned condition.

        According to research, investigators found traces of explosives on the table in the cabin.

        According to information from the ARD capital studio, Kontraste, SWR and ZEIT, a Western secret service is said to have sent a tip to European partner services in the autumn, i.e. shortly after the destruction, according to which a Ukrainian commando was responsible for the destruction.
        After that, there are said to have been further intelligence indications that a pro-Ukrainian group could be responsible.

        Yaltam: The leading IDF unit you’ve never heard of

        While most of the details of Yaltam operations are confidential, what we do know is that the 100-member unit of female and male soldiers is responsible for disabling bombs underwater and more.

        Not many people know about the IDF’s Yaltam Unit, an underwater force specializing in diving and special missions in the deep sea. Last month, the unit celebrated 40 years of operations, with the participation of former and current commanders.

        Much of the discussion centered on the great danger the unit’s soldiers face when carrying out heroic rescue missions.

        […]Yaltam is still improving, and is one of the IDF’s leading and most professional units that utilizes innovative technologies and has integrated women,”

        […]In 1976, the unit was merged with Shayetet 13 (Navy Special Forces), and continued to function as the unit’s sabotage arm.

        […]Last June, Yaltam carried out a joint training exercise with teams from the US, UK, France and Canada, which was deemed a great success. “We practiced a number of scenarios involving sabotage of complex vessels, which was very successful,” Bar states. “The goal of the joint training exercise was to share knowledge and strengthen our relationships. Some of our activities are highly confidential. Another essential part of our job is to search for missing people.

    • CNN – Exclusive: Zelensky warns of ‘open road’ through Ukraine’s east if Russia captures Bakhmut, as he resists calls to retreat

      + 2 min 40 video

      Russian troops will have “open road” to capture key cities in eastern Ukraine if they seize control of Bakhmut, Zelensky warned in an interview with CNN, as he defended his decision to keep Ukrainian forces in the besieged city.

      “This is tactical for us,” Zelensky said, insisting that Kyiv’s military brass is united in prolonging its defense of the city after weeks of Russian attacks left it on the cusp of falling to Moscow’s troops.

      “We understand that after Bakhmut they could go further. They could go to Kramatorsk, they could go to Sloviansk, it would be open road for the Russians after Bakhmut to other towns in Ukraine, in the Donetsk direction,” he told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer in an exclusive interview from Kyiv. “That’s why our guys are standing there.”

      A weeks-long assault from Wagner mercenary troops, which has picked up pace in recent days, has forced thousands from the city and decimated its infrastructure. But Ukrainian troops have also mounted a dogged defense of the area, stalling Russia’s progress.

      Zelensky said his motivations to keep the city are “so different” to Russia’s objectives. “We understand what Russia wants to achieve there. Russia needs at least some victory – a small victory – even by ruining everything in Bakhmut, just killing every civilian there,” Zelensky said.

      He said that if Russia is able to “put their little flag” on top of Bakhmut, it would help “mobilize their society in order to create this idea they’re such a powerful army.”

      Though Bakhmut does not hold significant strategic value in itself, its road connections to Kramatorsk and Sloviansk – two densely populated, industrial urban hubs to the northwest – mean those cities be next in Russia’s crosshairs if they are able to take control.

      Some commanders and lower level officers have questioned the merit of holding Bakhmut amid a rising number of casualties and a growing risk that hundreds or even thousands of Ukrainian troops could get cut off.

      But Zelensky dismissed those concerns, saying he has “never heard anything like that” from his commanders.

      “We have to think about our people first and no one should be surrounded, encircled – this is very important,” he said.

      “The military sees for themselves that we have to stay strong there despite the fact that Russia ruined the whole city and everything there,” Zelensky added. “Troops were helping kids, civilians to leave the town – even up to today people were leaving Bakhmut. We were helping everyone.

      Nearly 4,000 civilians – including 38 children – remain inside the battered city, the country’s Vice Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said elsewhere on Tuesday. “We have special evacuation teams, who help, and armored vehicles. But people often stay in basements, leaving no information about their whereabouts,” she said in a televised address. “This makes evacuation much more difficult.”

      NATO intelligence meanwhile estimates that for every Ukrainian soldier killed defending Bakhmut, Russian forces have lost at least five, a military official with the alliance told CNN on Monday. The official cautioned the 5-to-1 ratio was an informed estimate based on intelligence.

      Wagner troops have been descending on the city since capturing the town of Soledar in January. Should they gain control of Bakhmut, it would mark a rare case of a town changing hands in what has become a sluggish and slow-moving war in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region.

      An adviser within the Ukrainian Presidency, Mykhailo Podolyak, told CNN on Monday that in defending Bakhmut, Ukraine had two main goals: buying time to replenish its forces and inflicting heavy losses on Russian armies.

      “It achieved its goals by 1,000%,” he said. “Even if the military leadership at some point decides to retreat to more favorable positions, the case of defending Bakhmut will be a great strategic success for the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a foundation for future victory.”

      Ukraine is meanwhile racing to integrate Western weapons systems and dozens of tanks into its operations, after Zelensky successfully persuaded the US, the UK, Germany and a bloc of other European nations to step up its military aid.

      It comes ahead of an anticipated Russian spring offensive that may encompass territory in central and northern Ukraine which Russia was unsuccessful in capturing in its initial invasion last year.

  7. DEVELOPING: Fed Chair Powell Says Rates ‘Likely to Be Higher’ Than Previously Anticipated
    By Cristina Laila Mar. 7, 2023 10:45 am95 Comments

    Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on Tuesday said interest rates are likely to be higher than expected because the inflation fight is not over.

    Powell did not say how high the rates will go.

    The benchmark rate is around 5.25%-5.5% after the Fed hiked rates several times in 2022.

    CNBC reported:

    Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on Tuesday cautioned that interest rates are likely to head higher than central bank policymakers had expected.

    Citing data earlier this year showing that inflation has reversed the deceleration it showed in late 2022, the central bank leader warned of tighter monetary policy ahead to slow a growing economy.

    “The latest economic data have come in stronger than expected, which suggests that the ultimate level of interest rates is likely to be higher than previously anticipated,” Powell said in remarks prepared for two appearances this week on Capitol Hill. “If the totality of the data were to indicate that faster tightening is warranted, we would be prepared to increase the pace of rate hikes.”

    Those remarks carry two implications: One, that the peak, or terminal, level of the federal funds rate is likely to be higher than the previous indication from the Fed officials, and, two, that the switch last month to a smaller quarter-percentage point increase could be short-lived if inflation data continue to run hot.

  8. Bulgaria scraps large quantities of expired COVID vaccines

    Bulgaria scraps large quantities of expired COVID vaccinesOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) —

    Bulgarian health authorities said Monday that 2.8 million of expired COVID-19 doses will be destroyed this year in addition to the 2.3 million doses that have already been scrapped in the country with the lowest vaccination rate in the European Union.

    According to Health Minister Assen Medzhidiev there is an excessive number of vaccines, low vaccination coverage, and a lack of people who want a shot. Only 30% of the country’s 6.5 million population has basic immunization.

    Medzhidiev said Bulgaria has called on the European Commission to end a contract with BioNTech/Pfizer under which his country is obliged to buy coronavirus vaccines until 2025.

    He said Bulgaria’s position is supported by Poland, the Czech Republic and Lithuania.

    The minister called it “irrational” for Bulgaria to buy more vaccines that the country will end up destroying.

    Official figures show that Bulgaria will scrap more anti-COVID doses than it has administered.

    A total of 4,6 million doses have been administered in Bulgaria. Some 2 million people have completed a two-shot vaccination course, while nearly 1 million have received a booster dose. There have been some 1.3 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Bulgaria, and a confirmed death toll of 38,211.

      6. Masks will protect everyone and stop the spread.

      7. The virus is known to be naturally occurring, and claiming it originated in a lab is a conspiracy theory.

    U.S. Troops Running Out of Arms and Munitions as Biden Keeps Sending More to Ukraine
    By Mike LaChance Mar. 7, 2023 9:30 am319 Comments

    As the war between Russia and Ukraine continues, Biden keeps sending military equipment and ammunition to Ukraine. There is no end in sight, and Biden has even said as much.

    Yet here in the United States, arms manufacturers can’t keep up with demand, and our own armed forces are already running dangerously low.

    At what point does someone in Washington step up and demand that our own national defense is at risk?

    Jed Babbin writes at the American Spectator:

    Biden has sent roughly one-third of our Javelin anti-tank missiles and one third of our Stinger anti-aircraft missiles to Ukraine. Ukraine is expending those weapons and others faster than we can manufacture them.

    We normally produce between 1,000 and 2,100 Javelins each year. The Army is trying to get industry to up the rate to 4,000 each year. Faint hope.

    By some estimates, Ukraine is firing six to seven thousand 155 mm artillery shells every day. At that rate, they could expend the entirety of Britain’s stockpile of NATO-standard 155 mm shells in just eight days. Ammunition for the U.S. HIMARS (high-mobility artillery rocket system) and other munitions are also being expended at tremendous rates.

    The problem we are having is that, despite some efforts to stimulate production in the U.S., the supply is lagging far behind the demand.

    According to a Center for Strategic and International Studies report I mentioned last week, some credible estimates are that we would run out of ammunition — missiles, artillery shells, etc. — in one week if the Chinese attacked Taiwan at this point and if — a big “if” — Biden decided to defend Taiwan. He has said we would do so four times and each time his cabinet has assured the Taiwanese that we hadn’t changed our “One China” policy, which means we wouldn’t defend Taiwan.

    The problem is greatly exacerbated by supply chain problems. A friend of mine who is the CEO of a medium-sized aerospace firm that produces, among other things, radar systems told me that parts he orders today can’t be delivered for at least eighteen months.

    In a major attack on the First Amendment, the Biden Regime is now demanding Elon Musk explain why he gave journalists access to the “Twitter Files.”

    Biden’s FTC retaliated against Elon Musk and demanded he provide the names of the journalists and other documents protected by the First Amendment.

    The FTC wants to put Elon Musk under oath!

    The Wall Street Journal reported:

    The Federal Trade Commission has demanded Twitter Inc. turn over internal communications related to owner Elon Musk, as well as detailed information about layoffs—citing concerns that staff reductions could compromise the company’s ability to protect users, documents viewed by the Wall Street Journal show.

    In 12 letters sent to Twitter and its lawyers since Mr. Musk’s Oct. 27 takeover, the FTC also asked the company to “identify all journalists” granted access to company records and to provide information about the launch of the revamped Twitter Blue subscription service, the documents show.

    “This is an outrageous attack on the First Amendment,” journalist Michael Shellenberger said on Tuesday.

    “I look forward to discussing this directly with members of Congress on Thursday morning,” Michael Shellenberger said.

    Diary of dying Vaccinated man.

    October 30, 2022 Attention to all other vac-injured / long Covid folks with mysterious muscle wasting diseases that appear like ALS/cancer/prion disease/etc. Who are getting ignored and gaslit over and over again like me. Connect with me. If we’re going out, we’re making noises before we exit

    Nov. 8, 2022 —It is long past time to go public with this. I refuse to simply lie down and die as if I did something wrong to bring about this terrible torture that I have been enduring for the last eight months now.

    Nov. 8, 2022 — I understand that others may have differing opinions, and they are entitled to the, but this is My truth and My life, and I am going to lose it very quickly if others aren’t made aware of everything and don’t assist in putting pressure on the broken medical system.

    Nov. 8, 2022 —At this time after months and months of crippling pain, encroaching and accelerating disability and wasting away of my body’s muscles and strength, it is obvious that I am fading fast due to a neuromuscular degenerate disease of some type.

    Nov. 8, 2022 — It presents like ALS—except, it isn’t showing up as classically on the expected testing as ALS usually does, which has prompted doctors to first outright dismiss me—which they did for months — or exclaim that my case is too difficult and “fire” me from their practices.

    Nov. 8, 2022 Terrifyingly, I have been in contact with dozens of people suffering similarly who have likewise been ignored and passed off by their medical teams as well — and through sharing our stories we have learned that our common denominator has been the Covid vaccines.

    Nov. 8, 2022 — Of course, the medical establishment won’t touch that possibility. I am expiring quickly. It is time to stop being nice and polite and to start demanding answers and treatment. Those of us suffering with these horrible issues post — vaccination need immediate testing and care.

    Nov. 12, 2022 — I was a guy who loved life. I was a teacher, a mentor, an artist. All I wanted was to keep doing what I loved for years to come. But I have been murdered by a ‘medicine’ that was haphazardly thrown together and coercively used as a political pawn to divide humanity.

    Nov. 12, 2022 — Since early this year, my muscle and connective tissue have been literally dissolving from my body. I have horrendous, all day, bodywide pain. Unrelenting insomnia. Insufferable digestive issues. I have not had one good moment since the beginning of March. Thanks Moderna.

    Nov. 15, 2022 — I am dying. Murdered by Moderna. The muscle mass in my body is gone. Dissolving. No diet, exercise, supplements, etc. have worked or will work. There is a mass murder that has taken place worldwide. Don’t be like those who stood aside and didn’t want to make noise in the 30s.

    Nov. 16, 2022 — Things keep failing. The muscle wasting keeps progressing, constant as the horror it produces. I don’t have an official death sentence diagnoses as of yet, but it is coming. Like so many others murdered by the Covid vaccines, everyone will act surprised. I’ve known for months.

    Dec. 13, 2022 — I cannot believe I am dying a horrible agonizing death for trying to do the right thing by society. I cannot believe even more than after a lifetime of knowing me, just about everyone who used to love and value me has abandoned me to my fate over the politicalization of the reason.

    Dec. 15, 2022 — I would have any hope that I can survive this vaccine injury/slow motion murder if it weren’t for the literal pieces of me just missing now thanks to the ALS — presentation muscle wasting. It is horrifying, endlessly painful and those who did this to the world deserve to hang.

    Dec. 21, 2022 — Is there anyone else out there with the turbo ALS – like muscle wasting disease from the vax? I want to connect with more before I am gone. The few dozen people I have met suffering like me have been my only source of humanity in the past months. Some day the truth will come out.

    Dec. 28, 2022 — Is there anyone out there with ALS/MND type severe muscle/connective tissue wasting post Covid vax that has found ANY help? I have tried FLCCC/Kory protocol and just about everything else I could find. Anyone? is there anything or am I just dying and that’s it?

    Jan. 12, 2023 — Well, looks like I am not going to be fully banned off of Facebook for telling my story and trying to find help and community while I a, dying from vaccine – induced muscle wasting disease. Humanity is truly non-existent any longer. Follow my YouTube until I am erased there, too…..

    Jan. 12, 2023 — I used to work because it made me feel good to do something for my health. These days I do it in horror as I continue to watch my muscles melt away regardless thanks to the vaccine that has murdered me with no cure or reversal coming. And I can’t talk about it or I am banned.

    Jan. 12, 2023 — I cannot believe I am dying this way. with all my muscles systematically dissolved away. All my organs slowly and surely showing more and more damage. The slowest, most torturous murder imaginable, like something medieval. and I was healthy, I had a life to live. All gone.

    Jan. 12, 2023 — Let it end. Let it end! god, please just take me from this ruined life. Let me go as I sleep. please, please. There is nothing left. There will never be joy, recovery, never a thing to look forward to but more and more suffering as I dissolve and lose everything. let me go.

    Jan. 13, 2023 — There are two reactions I have gotten from my horrible, irreversible wasting disease caused by the Covid vax — scorn/hatred or pity. I don’t want either. I wanted my life. it is so cruel how this just takes and takes, little by little. how I wish it would just end me now.

    Jan. 14, 2023 — Waking up feeling like little pools of acid have been poured into various places where muscles connect as they continue to dissolve from my body. every time I think the torture can’t get worse before the end, it does. Somehow, it can hurt me more yet before it kills me.

    Jan. 14, 2023 — It is an eerie, terrible feeling to know you’ll be dead soon. to know that every little thing you do, every action you wouldn’t have thought twice about might be the last time this time you’re doing it. Standing, walking, eating, sleeping, lifting my arms… it’s all ending.

    Jan. 15, 2023 — Goodbye, all. My nerves are dying, my muscle tissue dissolved, the last bits twitching as they fail. my digestion has stopped, organs failing, slowly but surely. I await my last ride in my last stop for whatever final failure will kill me. Love to those who supported me.

    Jan. 16, 2023 — Somehow, multiple doctors are refusing to help me get promptly readmitted to an ER as things continue to deteriorate. Why actively dying people need to beg to be seen, taken seriously and given prompt assessment and comfort is beyond cruel. Continuing to beg for help…….

    Jan. 16, 2023 — Hey, hatefully trolls — I didn’t ask anyone to follow me — I don’t owe you my medical records—I don’t owe you my medical photos— your mockery doesn’t change facts— I really hope you never have to suffer anything like this and if you do — I hope people aren’t like you to you.

    Jan. 18, 2023 — The last gasp hopes of my one truly dedicated doctor to try to find an autoimmune angle to what is killing me are all coming back negative, proving again that this relentless neurogenic wasting disease is murdering me with no recourse. Time for final defined diagnosis.
