Ukraine had a colour revolution facilitated by Victoria Nuland 2013-14, ousting Viktor Yanukovych. Was this a coup. Southern and eastern Russian-dominated peoples of Donetsk and Luhansk were attacked by the Ukraine government until the Donbas war began. The leader installed by the West is a former actor, like Trudeau, to be generous.
My question is: given the massive support funneled into the Ukraine, how is the Kursk invasion not a de facto NATO invasion of Russia? And since NATO is controlled by the U.S., how is the NATO invasion of Kursk not a de facto U.S. invasion of Russia?

More on this. It is somewhat misleading to look at gold in dollar terms. It is more informative to consider it in ratio terms, or how many ounces will get you a house, or the DOW average, or an acre of farm land. It is also informative to look at the silver/gold ratio. Depending on who you listen to this ratio has a historical mean of 1:16, or 1:20, or 1:40. It matters less which ratio one believes than it does to understand the significance of the historical mean. The historical mean will be reverted to because it is a proven value over time. It’s as simple as this. Gold is the only real money. Everything else is credit (JP Morgan).

Chicago Braces for Chaos: Courtrooms Prepared for Mass Arrests as Chicago Police Expect as Many as 100,000 Pro-Palestinian Protesters During DNC

2012 DNC (Credit: Wikimedia Commons)
The 2024 Democratic National Convention (DNC) is scheduled to take place from August 19-22, 2024. The event will be held in Chicago, Illinois.
The convention is expected to celebrate Kamala Harris as the presumptive Democratic nominee for president and Tim Walz as the nominee for vice president.
However, the city is bracing for what could be a perfect storm of chaos. With the possibility of up to 100,000 pro-Hamas protesters flooding the streets, the Chicago Police Department (CPD) is preparing for the worst.
According to WGN9, “Leaders of four Muslim organizations say they’re expecting upwards of 100,000 demonstrators to take part in a number of protests during the Democratic National Convention.”
The news outlet added that “three main protests are being planned for Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, the first and last days of the convention. More than 150 organizations from around the country say they’ve formed a collective to have these protests be large in numbers, and while they represent a number of different interests, they say they will be focused on the Israeli-Palestinian war.”
The city’s preparation includes the transformation of a disused courtroom to streamline the processing of mass arrests during the DNC, according to News Nation Now.
Despite officers having undergone specialized de-escalation training, there is an expectation of violence and vandalism at the DNC.
The Chicago Police Department has taken proactive measures to handle this potential unrest, including centralizing its response to mass arrests.
News Nation Now reported:
Protesters arrested while marching at the DNC will be brought to a police station five miles north of the United Center, where many of the conference’s events will be taking place. The once-defunct courtroom in the station can now hold nearly 100 people.
“The decision was made mostly at the suggestion of the Chicago Police Department to centralize these unique set of circumstances, these coordinated multiple arrests so it doesn’t interfere with our day-to-day business,” Marubio told NewsNation.
[…]
“For anyone who is charged with an act of violence, they may not be released as quickly, so there are consequences for a re-arrest and violating the conditions of release,” Marubio explained.
In addition to preparing the courtroom, criminal jury trials have also been cleared for the week of the DNC, and criminal judges from other divisions of Cook County have been asked to clear their calendars in case they need to be called into action to help process those arrested.
An additional 30 courtrooms have also been cleared out in the very unlikely case the first one overflows, according to city officials.
Recent events have given the Chicago Police Department a dry run in handling mass arrests and how the Pretrial Fairness Act operates in these circumstances. In May, about 50 people were arrested during a Pride event. The juveniles were sent to juvenile court, and some were cleared and released without any charges. Ultimately, only nine people made it all the way through the initial court appearances.
Marubio’s statement not to release the protestors quickly could potentially violate the new Pretrial Fairness Act signed by former Democrat Gov. JB Pritzker. Illinois has become the first state in the U.S. to entirely abolish cash bail starting September 18, 2023, a massive win for criminals.
The Gateway Pundit reported last year that the Illinois Supreme Court upheld the Pretrial Fairness Act provision of the Safety, Accountability, Equity, Transparency-today Act, meaning that cash bail will be eliminated in Illinois.
This will result in the release on no bail while awaiting court date of those accused of certain felonies, such as “second-degree murder, aggravated battery, and arson without bail, as well as drug-induced homicide, kidnapping, burglary, robbery, intimidation, aggravated DUI, aggravated fleeing and eluding, drug offenses and threatening a public official.”
The new law means that 12 non-detainable offenses will no longer require a paid cash bail:
Second-degree murder
Aggravated battery
Arson
Drug-induced homicide
Kidnapping
Burglary
Robbery
Intimidation
Aggravated fleeing and eluding
Aggravated driving under the influence
Drug offenses
Threatening a public official

Kamala Harris to Give Speech in North Carolina This Week Blaming Grocery Stores and Corporations for High Food Prices
thegatewaypundit.com/2024/08/kamala-harris-give-speech-north-carolina-this-week/
Aug. 15, 2024 8:15 am
Kamala Harris is set to give a speech in North Carolina this Friday, blaming grocery stores and corporations for high food prices.
This is dishonest and stupid. Dishonest because inflation and high food prices are being caused by the policies put in place by her and Joe Biden, not the people who run grocery stores. It’s stupid because only a moron would believe this argument.
Grocery stores have a tiny profit margin. Most grocery chains are bending over backwards to remain competitive.
Yamiche Alcindor posted this on Twitter/X:
On Friday in North Carolina, Vice President Harris intends to announce a plan to prevent corporations in the food and grocery industries from unfairly jacking up prices on consumers, by imposing the first-ever federal ban on corporate price-gouging in these industries.

More from Spectrum News:
Vice President Kamala Harris is returning to North Carolina on Friday for a rally in Raleigh after her scheduled trip last week was postponed due to the impact of Tropical Storm Debby.
A Harris campaign official told Spectrum News that the Democratic nominee will be delivering remarks “focused on her plan to lower costs for middle-class families and take on corporate price-gouging.”…
Harris pledged to combat price gouging and lower costs “on day one” of a possible administration at her event in Atlanta last month, a promise she has echoed on the campaign trail since replacing President Joe Biden atop the Democratic ticket.
Grocery stores don’t cause inflation. Bad political leaders do.

Soviet-style centrally administered price controls on food and grocery prices will form part of the federal economic proposals U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris will unveil Friday when she finally delivers an insight into her 2024 policies.
Her address will mark the first time Harris offers a policy focused speech since she was anointed as the Democratic candidate in July and been roundly accused by critics since as being a policy-free zone, as Breitbart News reported.
The Democratic nominee is promising to institute a first-ever national ban on price gouging and price-fixing within her first 100 days in office in an effort to deflect many voters’ low marks for President Joe Biden’s handling of the economy.

A rallying cry for New York Democrats turned chaotic Wednesday night as pro-Hamas protesters stormed the campaign event for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
The event, billed as the “New York City Kickoff to Elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz,” attracted approximately 200 supporters to a venue on West 135th Street, organized by the Harlem to the Heights Campaign Committee, according to PIX 11.
Attendees included union members, local voters, and Democrat. Party delegates. Top Democrat leaders like New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, Mayor Eric Adams, and Congressman Adriano Espaillat were also present at the event.
“From people not wanting to go to the convention to people trying to get tickets to get into the convention. I had a… we were on a call the other night, and they said tickets are like, people are selling the tickets on the black market or up to $5,000 for the convention,” Serena Grey, a delegate from Staten Island, told PIX 11 News.
However, just across the street, tensions were brewing. A large group of protesters gathered behind barricades, voicing their opposition to U.S. support for Israel in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.
The protest escalated when demonstrators attempted to breach the barricades surrounding the event, leading to a chaotic scene that included smoke bombs being set off, according to Ukrainian-American journalist Oliya Scootercaster.
As police intervened to restore order, multiple arrests were made. You can watch the clip here and here.
According to PIX 11, at least three demonstrators managed to breach the security perimeter and storm the event. You can watch the clip here.

“Tim Walz did not misspeak: He knew exactly what he was doing, and by both lying about his rank in the National Guard and abandoning his brothers in arms prior to deployment, he has proven that he prioritizes politics above honor, and the halls of Congress over the hallowed grounds of VFW’s across America,” Harrigan said.

Will There Always Be an England?
Most Americans are Anglophiles. It’s in our blood. Yes, our ancestors fought a bloody revolution to free ourselves from the British crown, but outside of the United Kingdom itself, you will find no people more eager to swoon over British royalty than Americans. More substantively, our love and admiration for the British has to do with a heady mix of Churchill, Wilberforce, Tolkien, Lennon and McCartney, and other extraordinary examples of courage, wisdom, and creativity.
For an American, it’s not only shocking, but also painful, to see what is happening to Britain today. The country of the Magna Carta, the nation that gave the world liberal democracy, and a people who stood indomitably against the Nazi totalitarian menace, succumb to utter demoralization and soft (for now) totalitarianism imposed on them by a corrupt ruling class. How far away seem the lyrics to the popular 1939 patriotic song “There’ll Always Be An England,” which lifted spirits through the Blitz:
There’ll always be an England,
And England shall be free
If England means as much to you
As England means to me.
It has become possible now to doubt that sentimental claim—precisely because England has ceased to mean much to its ruling class, and to many Englishmen. A friend who is a respected member of the British establishment wrote to me last week in despair.
“No sign it’s going to get any better, or that there is any way the country can come back from this,” he said. “We’ve faced wars, recessions, and pandemics for centuries, but this is different. You can’t reverse the slow dissolution of an entire culture and people, which is what is happening to the English.”
What prompted those black-pilled lines was my telling him of a dinner conversation I had

Great article!
Yes it is good, what the Brits need is a leader like Churchill, hopefully Tommy and Nigel can fill the role.
But…
Demographics = Destiny?
Not always, the Europeans can still kick the invaders out of they can find the right leader.
The left has been pushing the idea that demographics are destiny to try and convince people that they have to surrender, we both know this isn’t correct. As I said above the Europeans can and probably will raise up and push the invaders back into the sea if the right leader arises. We have been reading about people who are sounding the alarm and fighting back, in the long run the good guys will win but it will be a long and bloody war.

CNN Commentator: Walz Exaggerated Military Role to Push Gun Control
Ammoland Inc. Posted on August 15, 2024 by NRAHQ
Opinion
US Military M4A1 Rifle
US Military M4A1 Rifle
Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) has been hard at work embracing and promoting the far-left gun control policies of Kamala Harris, his partner on the Democrat ticket for president.
Among his strategies is underscoring his experience in the National Guard to substantiate his “expertise” with firearms. Yet even CNN, typically a cheerleader for the Democrat party, recently ran a segment acknowledging that Walz has inflated his military credentials in service of his gun control advocacy, with commentator Tom Foreman calling Walz’s insinuation that he was in the line of fire as a soldier “absolutely false.”
A typical logical fallacy often seen in politics is the so-called appeal to authority. This occurs when someone uses a credential in one area to suggest expertise in another, unrelated area. Gun controllers often use this technique when putting their words about “assault weapons” in the mouths of people who own guns or who have been issued one in a law enforcement or military capacity. The message is typically some variant of: “I know what these guns are capable of, therefore you should listen to me when I tell you that ‘ordinary’ people have no business owning them.”
On Aug. 6, for example, the official X (formerly Twitter) account of Kamala HQ posted a video of Walz talking to a crowd about his firearm and gun control credentials. The post summarizes his comments with the remark:
“We can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, are only carried in war.” Walz says something similar in the video.
ADVERTISEMENT
SCROLL DOWN TO CONTINUE READING
This is an obvious reference to the Harris/Walz ticket’s support for banning AR-15s and other so-called semiautomatic “assault weapons,” which they continually refer to as “weapons of war.” Harris, for her part, has also supported “elimination” and “confiscation” of such guns that owners had legally acquired and never misused. She has more recently backed off this confiscatory rhetoric to appear more “moderate,” though what she actually believes or would do, given the chance, is impossible to know for certain.
There are two main problems, however, with how Walz invokes his military career to make this point.
One, the sort of AR-15s available to the public today are qualitatively different from the version Walz or other soldiers have been issued for military duties. The military versions are legally classified as “machineguns” and are capable of automatic or burst fire. In other words, those guns can fire multiple rounds with a single pull of the trigger. The AR-15s sold at gun shops today are capable only of semi-automatic fire, meaning each round requires a separate pull of the trigger. This is the same for any repeating firearm, including a revolver or a modern auto-loading shotgun. Machine guns like the ones Walz was issued have been banned from civilian acquisition since 1986 and prohibitively restricted since 1934.
The other problem, and where Walz intrudes on especially sensitive ground, is that he never carried any sort of gun “in war.” Records of Walz’s military career show that while he was stationed overseas in Italy for a period of months, he never served in a combat zone and was never exposed to enemy fire. As CNN commentator Tom Foreman explained: “There is no evidence that at any time Gov. Walz was in a position of being shot at, and some of his language could easily be seen to suggest that he was. So that is absolutely false when he said that about, about, uh, gun rights out there.”
In other words, Walz is not some hard-bitten combat soldier who came to his opinion about the merits of banning AR-15s because he saw what the automatic version of that platform could do in the heat of battle.
The evidence instead suggests that he simply adopted the positions on gun control required of any aspirant of his party when making the move from representing a rural district to seeking statewide or national office. The democrat party, its major donors, and Harris herself all support banning America’s most popular rifle, the AR-15 (a more extreme position than has been adopted in Walz’s home state of Minnesota itself). And as a member of that party with statewide and national ambitions, the formerly pro-gun Walz (who as a Congressman in 2008 voted to overturn Washington D.C.’s “assault weapons” ban) does as well. It is almost certainly not his military experience that informs his opinion on this issue, but the preferences of party elites, most of whom have never served in the military in any capacity nor actually fired an AR-15 themselves.
Information about the percentage of veterans who own AR-15 pattern rifles is not easy to find. One source mentions a survey of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, which put the figure at 30%. If this is accurate, it would mean ownership among that population is 600% higher than among the general American public. Another recent survey indicated more than half of U.S. veterans own some kind of firearm. Thus, the available evidence suggests that veterans who have been to war zones in recent decades are, at a minimum, not especially adverse to owning AR-15s and may actually own them at significantly higher percentages than the general population.
There is obviously nothing suspect about an individual’s personal experiences informing his or her opinions on gun control. This includes military experience of all sorts. There is also nothing inherently dishonorable about serving in the military and having never been exposed to combat or enemy fire.
Nevertheless, someone whose support for banning AR-15s supposedly arises from his having “carried [them] in war” should at least have the military record to back up that position. Tim Walz does not, and his claims to the contrary deserve no respect.

John Lott Dismantle’s Walz’s Anti-Gun Claims
By Tom Knighton | 4:29 PM | August 14, 2024
Glen Stubbe/Star Tribune via AP, Pool
Gov. Tim Walz flew under a lot of people’s radar for a long time, mostly because he was pro-gun during most of his tenure in Congress, then became anti-gun just before running for governor of an anti-gun state.
Advertisement
Convenient, to say the least.
However, he’s been consistently anti-gun since then and he’s been vehemently so.
We’ve talked aplenty about Walz and his wrongheaded ideas, but John Lott decided to do a bit more over at The Federalist. He absolutely dismantles Walz and his claims on guns.
Let’s start with his claims regarding the CDC being prohibited from doing research.
“Ispent 25 years in the Army and I hunt,” Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., declared in 2018. “I’ve been voting for common sense legislation that protects the Second Amendment, but we can do background checks, we can do CDC research, we can make sure that we don’t reciprocal carry among states. And we can make sure those weapons of war, that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are allowed to be carried.” In just a few sentences, Walz made false claims about assault weapons, background checks, Centers for Disease Control (CDC) research, and reciprocal carry.
…
The [Dickey] amendment allowed CDC-funded research but banned CDC advocacy. So, despite what gun-control advocates claim, research continued under the Dickey Amendment. Despite what Walz and other gun control backers say, neither the total number of papers nor pages devoted to firearms research decreased.
I’ve long argued that the Dickey Amendment never prohibited research and if the CDC figures that language did, in fact, mean they couldn’t conduct gun research, then it meant it wasn’t science but advocacy even in their own minds.
Advertisement
But Lott points out that the CDC did plenty of gun research during that time.
Now, was it a lie or was Walz simply wrong? After all, I consider it a lie when someone knows it’s false but pushes it anyway, whereas someone who believes what they’re saying is merely wrong. Walz saw the same media reports we all did, but his politics could well have led him to take the claims at face value. It’s entirely possible he was just incorrect.
But considering some of his other nonsense, I’m not inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.
As to Walz advocating for states to stop recognizing concealed handgun permits from other states (reciprocity), with more than 22 million concealed handgun permit holders nationwide, there are decades of data on the behavior of permit holders. Some states have particularly detailed data. In Florida and Texas, permit holders are convicted of firearms-related violations at one-twelfth the rate at which police officers are. And police are convicted at just one-twentieth of the rate for the general population. There is no evidence that any permit holder from another state has committed a gun crime in Minnesota.
Remember that in the quote above, reciprocity is especially called out by Walz as a problem.
It should be noted, though, that we haven’t seen a single high-profile shooting that involved someone who was otherwise lawfully carrying a firearm due to reciprocity. There’s no evidence of any rash of crime in general, either. In other words, it’s a non-issue, especially when dealing with crime in places like Minneapolis.
Advertisement
So why is Walz even mentioning this?
Because the goal of gun control is simply to make it harder to keep and bear arms. Bearing arms currently means some degree of reciprocity in you’re leaving your home state, which most of us do at some point or another. Ergo, reciprocity is bad.
Let’s remember that concealed carry permits, even in the most permissible states in the nation, involve a criminal background check that insures the individual isn’t a prohibited person. Anyone with a permit is someone who has never been convicted of any serious crime or even some misdemeanors. They’re generally as close to a model citizen as you’re going to find, which is born out by the research Lott cites.
Walz just doesn’t like the fact that we can carry guns.
There’s more that Lott destroys, but I can’t really get into it because of fair use rules. I invite you to go and read the rest, especially the stupidity about universal background checks.
You’ll be glad you did.

HUGE! Dan Bongino Reacts to Shocking New Video From January 6 That Shows Mystery Man Carrying Bag Toward Location of DNC “Pipe Bomb”

Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino reacted to the newly unearthed January 6 pipe bomb footage released on Thursday.
New video from January 6 shows a man exiting a DC Metro police vehicle carrying a bag toward the location of the DNC ‘pipe bomb’ at 12:51 pm on Jan. 6 – just 15 minutes before the ‘explosive device’ was discovered by another officer.
WATCH:
NEW: Recently discovered video from Jan 6 shows an individual believed to be police carrying a bag toward the location where “pipe bomb” was found at DNC.
This is about 15 minutes before another officer “discovered” the device.

Did this police officer place the pipe bomb next to the park bench on January 6?
Not one Secret Service agent saw the pipe bomb during a sweep of the building before Kamala Harris arrived that day.
The bomb-sniffing dog that was brought to the location earlier in the day also didn’t detect the bomb.
Earlier this year J6 footage released showed a highly-trained bomb-sniffing dog somehow missing the DNC ‘pipe bomb’ just a few feet away at approximately 9:51 am that morning.
WATCH:
The FBI has told the public for 3+ years that the J5/6 “pipe bomber” planted the devices the night before. FBI brass insisted pipe bombs were viable—with black power—and deadly.

Additionally Secret Service agents also miraculously didn’t seem concerned that a deadly ‘pipe bomb’ was discovered within close proximity to Kamala Harris.
Harris’s Secret Service detail arrived at 11:25 am that morning and did not find the pipe bomb…that’s because it was likely planted by the police officer 90 minutes later.

About 90 minutes after a bomb sniffing canine and his handler walked past the area where the alleged “pipe bomb” was planted, Kamala Harris’ Secret Service detail arrived at 11:25am.

For years we’ve been told an unidentified suspect planted pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC headquarters on January 5, the night before the Capitol riot.
The FBI still ‘can’t find’ the person who planted the bombs.
It appears the shadowy person who was caught on surveillance video on January 5 was just a decoy.
Dan Bongino reacted to the newly unearthed video and said this is one of the biggest scandals of our lifetime.
To make this story even worse, the Secret Service texts messages from January 6 have all been wiped. Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle claims the texts got deleted during a data update and phone migration.
Bongino says that is it highly likely the SS texts were deleted because agents were texting each other to stand down knowing the bombs were planted by federal agents.
Who is this mystery man carrying a bag toward the park bench just 15 minutes before the ‘pipe bomb’ was discovered?

Breaking: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Approved Operation to Blow Up the Russian Gas Nord Stream Pipeline to Europe

Gas hits the surface after the Nordstream Pipeline was blown up by Western forces – who then blamed it on Russia.
Breaking: Volodymyr Zelensky approved the operation with US allies to blow up the Russian Nord Stream Pipeline to Europe.
Via Euro News:
** German prosecutors on Thursday issued the first arrest warrant in their investigation into the undersea explosions in 2022 that blew up the Nord Stream gas pipelines to Europe.
** German media outlets reported in a joint report that federal prosecutors obtained an arrest warrant in June against a Ukrainian national who may be living in Poland.
** The individual was identified as Volodymyr Z. (what a strange coincidence?)
** The explosion caused 800 million cubic meters of gas, equivalent to about 3 months of Danish gas supplies, to escape.
According to reports: The CIA knew Ukraine blew it up – and the CIA and Biden regime lied to the American public for two years now!
Mike Benz commented:
u wanna know how f*ckin crazy this is I had friends on Ukraine portfolio at State last year telling me with a straight face they thought Russia blew up their own pipeline. Meanwhile their boss had classified intelligence everything his underlings believed was total bullshit. https://t.co/qgmrBDG5J1 pic.twitter.com/nHhoXf9ySk

Intel expert Mike Benz also commented on the real culprits: “Again just to remind what giant pieces of sh*t these ppl are, they’re only “leaking” this disinfo now bc Germany just arrested the Ukrainian diver who blew it up & NYT already printed that UKR’s intel is run top-down by the CIA, so Germany knows CIA knew, so CIA has to say this.”
This whole time the CIA, State Department, Biden White House, and media outlets in the know were lying to the American public about the explosion!
In February 2024, Tucker Carlson interviewed Russian President Vladimir Putin. During the interview Putin told him the CIA blew up the pipeline.
The Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines were blown up by explosions measuring 2.3 on the Richter scale, in 230 ft. of water, in two spots 40 miles apart. German, Danish and Swedish authorities promised investigations but have not published official findings. On March 27, 2023, the UN Security Council rejected calls by Russia and China for an international investigation.
On Feb. 8, 2023, veteran investigative journalist Seymour Hersh published a detailed account of how the Biden administration’s National Security Adviser, Jake Sullivan, instructed the CIA to destroy the Nord Stream pipelines in December 2022, well before the start of the war. Hersh’s detailed account remains the most convincing version of the events, although it is routinely either “debunked” or ignored by the mainstream press, who prefer to speculate about anonymous Ukrainians who blew up the massive, 3-inch thick concrete and steel pipelines using a sailboat.
Writing again on the anniversary of the attack, Hersh revealed new details from his intel source about how the Biden administration misled the CIA into thinking the sabotage plans were meant to deter Putin and preserve peace, while instead aiming to cripple Germany economically and make sure Germany did not succumb to Russian pressure.
“The Biden administration blew up the pipelines but the action had little to do with winning or stopping the war in Ukraine, Hersh wrote “It resulted from fears in the White House that Germany would waver and turn on the flow of Russia gas—and that Germany and then NATO, for economic reasons, would fall under the sway of Russia and its extensive and inexpensive natural resources. And thus followed the ultimate fear: that America would lose its long-standing primacy in Western Europe.”
Hersh’s source explained “the real reason why the Biden administration brought up taking out the Nord Stream pipeline.” While Russia was supplying gas and oil to the world via more than a dozen pipelines, Nord Stream 1 and 2 ran directly from Russia through the Baltic Sea to Germany.
“The administration put Nord Stream on the table because it was the only one we could access and it would be totally deniable,” Hershs CIA source told him. “We solved the problem within a few weeks—by early January—and told the White House. Our assumption was that the president would use the threat against Nord Stream as a deterrent to avoid the war.”
Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland was clearly involved in the plot, Hersh writes, since on January 27, 2022, she “stridently warned Putin that if he invaded Ukraine, “one way or another Nord Stream 2 will not move forward,” while noting that “We continue to have very strong and clear conversations with our German allies.”
When German chancellor Olaf Scholz visited Washington on February 7, 2022, Joe Biden warned that “If Russia invades … there will no longer be a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.” Asked by a reporter how he could promise this since the pipeline was under Germany and Russia’s control, Biden said: “We will, I promise you, we’ll be able to do it.”
Olaf Scholz did not seem fazed by this threat. “We are acting together. We are absolutely united, and we will not be taking different steps. We will do the same steps, and they will be very hard to Russia”, Scholz said.
Trending: Palm Beach Mayor Threatens to Shut Down Mar-a-Lago Estate
To the CIA team planning the attack, this signaled that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was “fully aware of the secret planning underway to destroy the pipelines,” Hersh’s source told him.
At this time, the intel community took this as confirmation their task was “to come up with a plan that would be forceful enough to deter Putin from the attack on Ukraine,” Hersh writes. “We did it. We found an extraordinary deterrent because of its economic impact on Russia. And Putin did it despite the threat,” Hersh’s source said.
It took two experts, USNavy deep sea divers, “months of research and practice” along with Norwegian seamen, whofound the spot to plantthe bombs before the mission was deemed a go. “Senior officials in Sweden and Denmark, who still insist they had no idea what was going on in their sharedterritorial waters, turned a blind eye to the activities of the American and Norwegian operatives. The American team of divers and support staff on the mission’s mother ship—a Norwegian minesweeper—would be hard to hide while the divers were doing their work. The team would not learn until after the bombing that Nord Stream 2 had been shut down with 750 miles of natural gas in it,” Hersh writes.
Despite Biden’s threat, Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022. Nonetheless, the White House told the CIA planning group “to plant the necessary bombs and be ready to trigger them ‘on demand’ even after the war began,“ Hersh writes. After the charges were planted in June 2022 as part of the BaltOps military exercise, the team was disbanded. The explosion was later triggered by a single Norwegian fighter plane “dropping of an altered off-the-shelf sonar device at the right spot in the Baltic Sea,” Hersh writes.
“It was then that we understoodthat the attack on the pipelines was not a deterrent because as the war went on, we never got the command,” Hersh’s source told him. “We realized that the destruction of the two Russian pipelines was not related to the Ukrainian war but was part of a neocon political agenda to keep Scholz and Germany, with winter coming up and the pipelines shut down, from getting cold feet and opening up” the shuttered Nord Stream 2. “The White House fear wasthatPutin would get Germany under his thumb and then he was going to get Poland.”
“So the president struck a blow against the economy of Germany and Western Europe,” the source told Hersh. “He could have done it in June and told Putin: We told you what we would do.” The White House’s silence and denials were, he said, “a betrayal of what we were doing. If you are going to do it, do it when it would have made a difference.”
Vladimir Putin was not pushing anything during the Tucker Carlson interview that millions of Americans already knew.

Sheriff Releases Shock Details, Refuses to Charge Special Operations Soldier Who Shot Chechen on His Property
thegatewaypundit.com/2024/08/sheriff-releases-shock-details-refuses-charge-special-operations/

A U.S. Army soldier has been cleared in the fatal shooting of a foreign national on his property.
The killing happened on the evening of May 3 near Carthage, North Carolina, and it’s now clear that the circumstances are more suspicious than anyone realized.
The new revelations were announced in a news release by the Moore County Sheriff’s Office.
The Aug. 12 post declared the conclusion of the MCSO’s investigation into the shooting of Ramzan Daraev, and included a lengthy list of details that hint this shooting was more than a random confrontation that turned violent.
The incident began as Daraev was seen by the homeowner’s wife, appearing to take pictures of the house. She informed her husband, a member of the Army’s Special Operations Command, who confronted Daraev.
“According to the homeowner,” MCSO wrote, “Daraev became aggressive and refused to leave the property, at one point asserting that he was a Chechen national who had served in the Russian military and fought in Ukraine.”
His status as a Russian veteran has not yet been confirmed.
After the confrontation became more heated, the homeowner returned to his house and retrieved a firearm.
“The confrontation escalated when Daraev reportedly became agitated and lunged at the homeowner after repeatedly refusing to leave the property,” MCSO continued. “The homeowner reported firing several shots in response to Daraev’s advance.”
Under North Carolina’s castle doctrine, the homeowner’s response is considered legal force for defending himself and his family, according to the sheriff’s department report.
Daraev’s defenders claimed he was in the area for his employment as a utility worker.
Suspiciously, Daraev was not found to have anything identifying him as someone on the job. Authorities said he wore only a burgundy shirt, shorts and flip-flops. No high-visibility vest or utility credentials were found on him or in his vehicle.
Additionally, the shooting took place around 8:15 p.m., when daylight is fading and non-emergency utility work typically grinds to a halt.
Did a stateside kill of a Russian asset just slide by under the radar?
The headlines say that a Spec Ops soldier is under investigation for shooting and killing a utility worker “from Chicago, Illinois”
Except that “utility worker” was 35-year-old Ramzan Daraev, a Chechen… pic.twitter.com/A31kd6kA7v

A photograph of a utility pole, provided by the Cable Warriors, Daraev’s employer and a subcontractor of Utilities One, was provided as proof the foreign national was conducting legitimate business.
Daraev was said to be conducting utility surveys as part of Brightspeed’s fiber optic expansion into the area when the confrontation happened.
After his shooting, more calls from the area alerted authorities to more suspicious individuals seen prowling around local properties. The Moore County Sheriff’s Office believes these people were associated with Daraev’s group.
An ongoing probe is still assessing Utilities One and Cable Warriors after infrastructure maps provided to employees were found to have originated on a Russian cloud server.
Daraev crossed into the United States over the southern border in December 2022, and has since lived in Chicago, according to the report.

WAYNE ROOT: The Tulsi Gabbard Story Should Scare Every American to Death. Do You Understand How Evil, Vicious and Out-of-Control Democrats and the Deep State Are Right Now? Can You Imagine What Democrats Will Be Willing to Do If They Win in November?
thegatewaypundit.com/2024/08/wayne-root-tulsi-gabbard-story-should-scare-every/

By Wayne Allyn Root
I’ve said this for over twenty years- “We have a 2-party system. The Democrat Party is filled with radical, extreme, Marxist, communist traitors who want to destroy America. Pure evil. Satan inspired. They are the enemies of good patriotic Americans. They are the real “domestic terrorists.” But my party- the GOP- is a party of weak-willed, feckless, cowards afraid of their own shadow, and sellouts who claim to be Republicans, but really play for the other side.”
This is true, now more than ever. Except now it’s true squared times 100,000!
Think of what Democrats (ie radical communist traitors) and the Deep State have done to President Trump and other great American patriots over the past few years with this weaponized government…
President Trump was impeached twice over nothing. He was hounded for his entire four year term by false charges. Then the dirty Democrats and Deep State rigged and stole the 2020 election to keep him from finishing the job.
Next they persecuted Trump for the past four years to try to stop him from ever taking back the White House. They indicted him four times. They forced him to spend tens of millions of dollars in legal fees. They tied him up in court instead of campaigning. Their rigged judges and juries first tried to bankrupt him in civil court, then convicted him in criminal court of 34 felonies, without a unanimous verdict.
When all of that couldn’t stop Trump, it sure appears the Deep State conspired with either our own government, FBI, and Secret Service, or a foreign enemy, or both, to try to assassinate President Trump.
Now many legal experts believe Trump will be sentenced to prison on September 19th by a judge who is a biased, out-of-control, liberal crusader with a serious case of “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” as well as plagued by ridiculous conflicts of interest (his daughter has made millions of dollars working with leading Democrats).
It’s impossible to believe this could be happening in America.
Don’t forget what they did to Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon (who sits in prison right now).
And the January 6th prisoners- who have become political hostages, enduring cruel and unusual punishment.
Jake Lang stands out as one of the most egregious cases in this country’s history. He’s spent almost four years in prison without a trial, much of the time in solitary confinement. He’s been transferred to almost twenty different prisons in awful conditions. Now the evil vindictive Biden-Harris government has, out-of-the-blue, added a new felony charge to Jake’s case. All because he won’t settle and admit guilt. He demands his day in court. This enrages the out-of-control communist tyrants who run our Banana Republic.
But now there is an even more frightening level of extreme weaponization of government- see what they’ve done to Tulsi Gabbard.
Her story rises to a level that might surpass all-of-the-above. Tulsi is a former prominent Democrat Congresswoman and former Democrat Presidential candidate who humiliated Kamala Harris on the presidential debate stage. She left the Democrat Party and endorsed President Trump. She has outed Democrats for what they are- evil communist traitors, intent on destroying our nation.
So how do Democrats respond?
They have put Tulsi on the terrorist watch list. Every flight she boards, she has to endure nonstop massive security checks- including bomb-sniffing dogs. On every flight she is on, a team of four armed air marshals watch her every move.
These are Nazi Gestapo and Soviet KGB-level tactics never before used in America’s history to such extremes.
Let me ask you…if they’re willing to do this to a high-profile, famous, former Congresswoman and Presidential candidate…who is in the media day and night…who used to be one of their own…knowing this will become public news…what will they be willing to do to you and me, if Democrats win in November?
If Democrats are in total control of government, and Trump is out of the way for good, what will stop them from attacking and destroying the lives of anyone and everyone who opposes them, or criticizes them, or threatens their power?
Trending: Palm Beach Mayor Threatens to Shut Down Mar-a-Lago Estate
How far will they go, if no one is standing in their way? What is next? Re-education camps? Concentration camps? Martial law. Climate change lockdowns? The banning of conservative talk radio? Communist show trials for conservative hosts? Murder and torture?
I promise you, seeing what they’ve just done to Tulsi Gabbard, if Democrats win in November, nothing is off the table.
So, what can be done to stop this Nazi and Soviet-level weaponization of government? How can we fight fire with fire? How can we stand behind President Trump and backup his powerful words, “FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT”?
I have a powerful solution. Stay tuned for my commentary tomorrow.

‘Who is Picking These Specific People to Be on His Detail?!’… UPDATE on Shocking Report That Female Secret Service Agent Abandoned Post During Trump Protection Detail to Nurse Baby (Video)
thegatewaypundit.com/2024/08/who-is-picking-these-specific-people-be-his/
Aug. 15, 2024 1:20 pm
Serious questions have arisen after the shocking report that a female Secret Service abandoned her post during protection duty for President Trump to nurse her baby.
The latest incident involving the competency of the Secret Service comes just weeks after the agency failed to protect Donald Trump during an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
It is especially concerning knowing the Secret Service places more emphasis on DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) than on competent employees.
Disgraced former agency director Kimberly Cheatle vowed to have at least 30% of agents be women by 2030.
Real Clear Politics’ Susan Crabtree reported that just minutes before President Trump was scheduled to arrive in North Carolina for an event, the agent abandoned her post to breastfeed her baby, which she brought to the rally, in a private room and accompanied by unvetted family members.
EXCLUSIVE and BREAKING: During a Donald Trump visit to North Carolina yesterday, a woman Secret Service special agent abandoned her post to breastfeed with no permission/warning to the event site agent, according to three sources in the Secret Service community.
Shortly… pic.twitter.com/lkfhhLcA0B
— Susan Crabtree (@susancrabtree) August 15, 2024
The incident reveals multiple breaches and raises serious concerns.
First, agents do not leave their posts, ever. Not for a bathroom break or a phone call, let alone to disappear into a private room for a considerable amount of time to nurse a baby. How did this happen? What is the workplace environment that would lead the agent to think this was okay?
Second, was this agent in the field providing protection duty while pregnant? And if so, did that result in additional protocol breaches and threats to protectees?
How was she able to bring an infant into an event while on duty, and how was she able to sneak unvetted relatives to the event without going through security?
Why was an agent allowed to accept an assignment that placed her in a situation that required duties she was unable to perform and fulfill?
Why is the Secret Service calling a concerning breach of security a “personal matter?”
And, most concerning, the mission of the Secret Service is quite literally life or death so who is picking these specific people to be on President Trump’s detail?
Former FBI agent Jonathan Gilliam eviscerated the agent and the agency during an interview on Fox News.
Jonathan Gilliam: When I first read the headline, I thought it said that they snuck off to eat breakfast, and I was like, okay, somebody got caught doing that. Then, when I had a double take and actually saw that she was breastfeeding, and then read into the details of the story where she was escorted along with family members and this child to breastfeed. The very first question I had is, ‘why is she on this detail?’
Again, just like in July, when the shooting occurred of Trump, you have to ask, who is picking these specific people to be on this detail?
Another female. I can guarantee you she’s under 6 feet tall, and she’s just had a baby, and she brings her family members there, which means she has the work ethics of somebody who works at a nightclub.
It’s not a personal matter. This is a professional matter that continues to happen again. In April, they had another secret service that got into a fight with a superior because he started acting erratic. We still don’t know what that was all about. We had the attempted assassination. Now we have this. We have nobody in command post from the Secret Service. We have threat assessments that are done horribly.
This is the totality, remember Bianca, the totality of the circumstances. When you look at all of this, what you see is an agency that is on par with a bunch of paintballers that you asked to come over and play protector for Halloween. That’s what this looks like. It’s that level of professionalism.
Trending: Palm Beach Mayor Threatens to Shut Down Mar-a-Lago Estate
It’s unbelievable that this happened less than a month after an assassination attempt. That right there in and of itself is so impactful.
Our enemy sees this.
The people who want to kill Trump see this.
I think that Donald Trump, while he’s campaigning, needs somebody to overwatch, just a couple of guys, to overwatch what’s happening with his campaign so they can pull him off the stage or make a decision if he should even go on a stage. Let the Secret Service fail because overwatch with your eyes is the greatest way to defeat this nonsense.
And yes, I’d readily volunteer for this, but we show up as warriors to defeat the enemy and keep our protected safe.
And that absolutely is not the approach that the Secret Service is taking.
