John Bolton mocks First Amendment as reporter detained (VIDEO)
Link: https://www.rt.com/news/566369-john-bolton-journalist-arrested/
Former US national security advisor John Bolton joked about the First Amendment as a protesting journalist was detained for accusing him of lying about weapons of mass destruction and “covering up war crimes in Afghanistan.” | Bolton’s speech at an Institute for Policy Innovation conference in Texas on Thursday was interrupted by journalist Tayler Hansen, who stood up and accused the long-time war-hawk of lying about Iraq possessing weapons of mass destruction prior to the 2003 US invasion. 💬 “You essentially genocided the Iraqi people,” Hansen shouted at Bolton. “And you covered up war crimes in Afghanistan, sir.” “Why did you celebrate the arrest of Julian Assange?” Hansen continued. “Why do you think that’s acceptable, sir? Is celebrating war crimes acceptable?” ● Hansen was handcuffed and led to a parking garage before being set free. 💬 “Most notable people that work in the National Security Apparatus are psychopathic criminals with no moral compass,” he wrote in a tweet on Friday. “I’m not sure what ‘National Security’ has to do with it, but there is definitely a pattern.”
Stephen Lendman: Repeat of the Big Steal

What’s the point of voting under a system operating as follows:
■ When elections are stolen with electronic ease.
■ When mail-in ballots for candidate A go to candidate B — enough to delegitimize election results.
■ When hegemon USA is a one-party state with 2 right wings.
■ When both wings enforce a permanent state of war on invented enemies threatening no one.
■ When so-called “rules-based order” flagrantly breaches the rule of law at home and worldwide.
■ When self-styled master of the universe USA is at war on the great majority of Americans.
Count the ways:
■ By kill shots designed to irreparably hard and shorten the lifespans of everyone getting them.
■ By eroding human and civil rights ahead of eliminating them altogether in favor of police state rule.
■ By governance of, by and for privileged interests exclusively at the expense of the general welfare.
■ By the following indisputable reality:
● If elections achieved positive change, they’d be officially banned.
● Grand theft by undemocratic Dems defined Election 2020 — what’s indisputable.
● What’s known about midterms showed a similar pattern.
● What should have been a slam-dunk red wave sweep of House and Senate races didn’t turn out this way.
Three-fourths of Americans believe things are heading in the wrong direction. The worst of it lies ahead, what’s highly likely to be clear in 2023. And all of the above is happening at a time when dominant Biden regime hardliners support Nazi-infested Ukraine. A state of US-launched war exists between hegemon USA-dominated NATO and Russia. The extremist Biden regime is the most recklessly dangerous one in US history. Dem hardliners infesting Washington risk global war in pursuit of their diabolical aims. And domestically, they serve privileged interests exclusively at the expense of the general welfare they don’t give a damn about. Are Republicans the preferred option? When the choice is between death by hanging or firing squad, we’re dead either way.
US election: Trump tears into rising Republican rival DeSantis
Link: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63593457
Ex-US President Donald Trump has lashed out at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, as the simmering rivalry between the two top Republicans boiled over. | Mr Trump belittled his former political apprentice as an "average" governor, lacking in "loyalty". ● Mr DeSantis, 44, won re-election in a landslide in Tuesday's midterms, sealing his status as the Republican party's brightest rising star. He is widely expected to run for the party's 2024 White House nomination. But Mr Trump, 76, looks increasingly likely to stand in his way. ● The former president - who has a massive campaign war chest and remains hugely popular with the party's base - would be a formidable opponent for Mr DeSantis, or any other Republican who dares challenge him.
George W. Bush will hold his first public meeting with Ukrainian President Zelenski

Maria Sacharova / MFA Russia | Former US President George W. Bush will hold his first public meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenski. The politicians will chat online. The event will take place next week in order to reiterate the importance of continued US support for Ukraine, the George W. Bush Institute has clarified. In this context, it brings to mind a recent fake by The Insider, in which the grief-stricken authors were dovishly speculating that George W. Bush was not part of the American establishment. How was it, "one of the most unpopular presidents in US history"? We found the foreign agents' idea that George W. Bush was a nobody fresh and interesting at the time. Now we await an official meeting of the two "nobodies" in which the contestants could compete in unpopularity. Perhaps The Insider will have a separate... "insider"?

COP27: Biden arrives in Egypt to push climate action, talk human rights
Link: https://english.alaraby.co.uk/news/cop27-biden-arrives-egypt-set-talk-human-rights
US President Joe Biden will arrive at the COP27 conference on Friday where delegates expect him to try to pump up global ambition to fight climate change. | His visit is the first stop in a packed week-long trip to grapple with some of the United States' thorniest foreign policy issues. ● Biden's speech in Sharm El-Sheikh will remind countries to stay focused on the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. He will also discuss the importance of public-private partnership and detail US efforts to decarbonise and lower methane emissions. ● Anti-government protests that will take aim at Egypt's deteriorating economic and human rights situations are planned for Friday. Egyptian security forces have detained scores of activists in the lead-up to the demonstrations.
US judge strikes down Biden's student debt relief plan
A federal judge in Texas on Thursday ruled that President Joe Biden's plan to cancel hundreds of billions of dollars in student loan debt was unlawful and must be vacated, delivering a victory to conservative opponents of the program. | US District Judge Mark Pittman, an appointee of former Republican President Donald Trump in Fort Worth, called the program an “unconstitutional exercise of Congress's legislative power” as he ruled in favour of two borrowers backed by a conservative advocacy group. ● The debt relief plan had already been temporarily blocked by the St. Louis-based eighth US Circuit Court of Appeals while it considers a request by six Republican-led states to enjoin it while they appealed the dismissal of their own lawsuit. The judge's ruling came in a lawsuit by two borrowers who were partially or fully ineligible for the loan forgiveness Biden's plan offered. The plaintiffs argued it did not follow proper rule making processes and was unlawful. The borrowers were backed by the Job Creators Network Foundation, a conservative advocacy group founded by Bernie Marcus, a co-founder of Home Depot. ● The US Justice Department promptly moved to appeal the ruling. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement the administration strongly disagreed with the decision.

Control of U.S. Congress hangs in balance with key contests still unresolved
Control of the U.S. Senate hung in the balance on Friday as election workers in Arizona and Nevada tallied hundreds of thousands of uncounted ballots, a process officials in the two battleground states warn could drag on for days. | Either Democrats or Republicans can capture a Senate majority by sweeping contests in both states. A split would transform a Dec. 6 runoff Senate election in Georgia into a proxy battle for the chamber, which holds sway over President Joe Biden's judicial appointments. ● In the fight for the House of Representatives, Republicans were inching closer to wresting control of the chamber from Biden's Democrats. House control would give Republicans veto power over Biden's legislative agenda and allow them to launch potentially damaging investigations into his administration. ● Republicans had secured at least 211 of the 218 House seats they need for a majority following Tuesday's midterm vote, Edison Research projected late on Thursday, while Democrats had won 197. That left 27 races yet to be determined, including several close contests. ● The Republican House leader, Kevin McCarthy, has already announced his intention to run for speaker if Republicans take over, an outcome he has described as inevitable.

US conducts ‘provocative’ Arctic missile test aimed at Russia
Link: https://www.rt.com/russia/566300-us-arctic-missile-test/
The US military tested an experimental cruise missile launch system above the Arctic Circle on Wednesday. The commander in charge of the test called it a deliberately “provocative” move aimed at deterring Russia. | The operation involved dropping a long-range cruise missile from a Special Operations C-130 transport aircraft, with parachutes slowing its descent until its rocket motor blasted it toward a target. The deployment system – called ‘Rapid Dragon’ by the military – was developed by the US Air Force, and Wednesday marked its first demonstration in Europe. ● The choice of Norway’s Andoya Space Range for the launch was deliberate. Located around two degrees north of the Arctic Circle, the range sits at the far western edge of a region of military and economic importance to Russia. 💬 The test “puts this thing within range of Russia. We are intentionally trying to be provocative without being escalatory,” operation lead Lt. Col. Lawrence Melnicoff told the US military’s Stripes outlet. “We’re trying to deter Russian aggression, [and] expansionist behavior, by showing enhanced capabilities of the [NATO] allies.”
[Editor: The US is not trying to "deter" Russian "aggression". The US is doing all it can to get a war going. Simple as that. No use listening to Pentagon's lies. More fun listening to what the readers are saying about stuff like this. Here are just some of their comments:]
💬 "These A-holes cannot help themselves, they always gotta be stirring the pot. One of these days Putin is going to lose his cool." + "Cursed Devil never rest its damned self from creating mischiefs." + "From Pax Americana to Pest Americana?" + "Seems to me, that's a lot of tax payers money, just for one rocket!" + "To be honest Russia and China need to destroy America. First China destroys the economy by dumping all Americas debt and completely dump the dollar Take Tiwan back and then both country's destroy all Americas military and get the middle east to not give them oil. That should end any threat from the US ever again. The eu have already killed them selves so no threat from them." + "So the whosa can continue to provoke and antagonize other countries with nothing to be heard from the other muppet countries who scream when NK tests a missile in it's own region...."
Evidence of harm

Steve Kirsch | A short collection of key pieces of evidence showing the COVID vaccines are not "safe and effective." Not even close. They are the most deadly vaccines we've ever produced. | Here’s a high level collection of some of the most compelling pieces of evidence I’ve seen to date. This is not an exhaustive list, but just the key pieces of data that are impossible to explain if the vaccines are safe and effective. I’ve divided the collection into sections and I’ve tried to limit each section to the most compelling data points. So don’t be disappointed if your favorite item isn’t mentioned in this article; I wanted to keep it short enough to be read. I’ll try to keep this updated over time.

Midterms Roundup
Link: https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/11/midterms-roundup.html
Moon of Alabama | The midterm election did not come with the red wave some had expected. The reasons for that are manifold. | That the Trump brand has lost some of its shine is one. Trump has always been bad at picking people. In the case of this election he supported some particular bad candidates. They obviously did not perform as he had hoped for. ● Biden is not liked much. But he is - in general - also not disliked much. He has managed to bribe the voters first through the large spending programs he had moved through Congress and then through the huge releases from the strategic petroleum reserve. The prices fell at the pump and that typically counts for a lot. ● Abortion seems to have played a role and Democrats said they would do something about that. But the Supreme Court judgment pushed the issue back to the states. I doubt that the Democrats will do anything about that. They have no incentive and no means to change that ruling. ● So the Democrats may keep the Senate though barely. The Republicans will likely take the House but also with only a thin majority. That means that U.S. policies, internally but especially on foreign issues, will not change one bit. ● As the saying goes: 'If elections would change anything they would not be allowed.'

42% of Gen Z Diagnosed with a Mental Health Condition, Survey Reveals
Link: https://www.cryptogon.com/?p=65253
Study Finds | Forty-two percent of America’s young-but-cynical Generation Z are dealing with a mental health condition, a new survey finds. A range of these issues were largely identified during the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. | The analysis by Harmony Healthcare IT suggests tens of millions of Gen Z young adults started dealing with a mental health problem in the months immediately following the start of the global pandemic in March 2020. ● Three-quarters of these Americans, all under the age of 25, say the pandemic negatively impacted their mental health, with many citing loneliness and uncertainty about the future. ● The Indiana-based data management company’s survey highlights a staggering percentage of young adults diagnosed with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during the pandemic. ● Twenty percent of the 1,000 Gen Z study participants say they have a regular therapist, 57 percent take regular medication, and 39 percent attend therapy for mental health issues once a week. ● Sociologists and statisticians identify Gen Z as the third-largest American population behind the millennials and baby boomers. These tweens, teenagers, and 20-somethings are also the most racially, ethnically, and sexually diverse generation in the United States.
Facebook parent Meta to cut more than 11,000 jobs in one of biggest tech layoffs this year
Meta Platforms said on Wednesday it will let go of 13 per cent of its workforce, or more than 11,000 employees, in one of the biggest tech layoffs in 2022 as the Facebook parent battles soaring costs and a weak advertising market. | The broad job cuts are the first in Meta’s 18-year history. ● They follow thousands of layoffs at other major tech companies, including Elon Musk-owned Twitter and Microsoft Corp. Meta employed more than 87,000 people as at Sept 30, according to media company Insider. The reductions were disclosed on Wednesday in a statement. The company will also extend its hiring freeze through the first quarter. ● Meta will also reduce its real estate footprint, review its infrastructure spending and transition some employees to desk sharing with more cost-cutting announcements expected in the coming months. The pandemic boom that boosted tech companies and their valuations has turned into a bust in 2022 in the face of decades-high inflation and rapidly rising interest rates. Meta, whose stock has plunged 71 per cent in 2022, is taking steps to pare costs following several quarters of disappointing earnings and a slide in revenue. Its profits fell to US$4.4 billion (S$6.2 billion) in the last quarter, a 52 per cent decrease year on year.
The Coming Struggle To Stay Warm
Link: https://principia-scientific.com/the-coming-struggle-to-stay-warm/
The Pipeline | One of the first columns I wrote for The Pipeline almost three years ago employed the metaphor of the irresistible force meeting the immovable object to forecast the likely consequences of Green politics. | The irresistible force was the imposition of a policy of Net-Zero carbon emissions upon the populations of the West, in particular those of Anglosphere, and the immovable object was the democratic electorates of these countries. It might take time, I argued, but when the voters found that Green Deals and such meant higher energy prices, higher taxes, immiseration of the less well-off, and harshly puritan lifestyles for the rest of us, an almighty smash-up would ensue. And so it has. ● Indeed, the smash-up has come sooner than I expected, namely this year, and it will almost certainly be harsher because the negative impact of Net-Zero has been aggravated by the Russo-Ukraine war and sanctions adopted by the U.S. and the E.U. in response to it. What I didn’t expect, however, is that the smash-up would take place in slow-motion. But that is what’s happening. Almost wherever you look, there’s some not-very-important story that tips you off to a subterranean explosion whose full impact won’t be properly felt for a while. The effect is something like the delayed impact of depth charges or deadpan jokes.
Why the Rise of Intersectionality in Medicine Will Have Serious Consequences
Connor Vasile | School standards have fallen for the sake of political correctness over effective and dependable education. That is dangerous. | In early October, my alma mater made headlines after it decided to fire chemistry professor Dr. Maitland Jones Jr. after 82 of his students signed a petition noting that his organic chemistry class was “too hard.” The students accused Jones of purposely making the class difficult, citing that their low scores negatively impacted their “well-being,” and their chances of getting into medical school. Instead of evaluating the rigor and substance of Jones’ curriculum, NYU justified its hasty action by noting the class’s unfavorable student reviews. This type of judgment would never pass in the fields of architecture, aerial engineering, or even the food service industry; why is it permissible here?
US and Russia to hold nuclear talks – State Department
Link: https://www.rt.com/news/566181-russia-us-new-start-nuclear/
American and Russian diplomats will meet to "discuss" the New START nuclear arms reduction treaty “in the near future,” US State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters on Tuesday. Earlier, Bloomberg and Kommersant cited sources who said that a meeting of the Bilateral Consultative Commission (BCC) may soon be held in Egypt.
Объясняет Readovka | "Let me see": Under the guise of negotiations to reduce nuclear arsenals the US wants to study modern Russian weapons | Kommersant has learned that the United States is planning to resume negotiations with Russia in the very near future to reduce its nuclear arsenals within the framework of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START III). World peace is the least of Americans' worries, of course, but the inspection of Russia's current weaponry looks much more attractive. ● The START Treaty went into force in 2011 and calls for substantial reductions in nuclear arsenals over the next seven years: each side commits to not more than 700 deployed ICBMs, which are allowed to have no more than 1,550 warheads, and 800 for deployed and non-deployed launchers. ● The treaty deals separately with mutual inspections of nuclear arsenals: according to this item, mutual inspections of nuclear weapons are supposed to be carried out, as well as the timely exchange of information on the current state and quantity of nuclear weapons. The American side, of course, violated the principle of mutual information. ● After another data exchange, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that the United States deliberately concealed the presence of a number of nuclear weapons, namely 41 B-52H heavy bombers and 56 launchers of Trident II SLBMs, which the US side described as re-equipped and, consequently, not subject to inspection. After the US declared its intention to send inspectors "in a matter of course", Russia suspended its participation in the treaty in the summer of 2022. ● Today, US inspectors are particularly interested in the hypersonic weapons successfully tested by Russia in a special operation. If necessary, the Kinnzhal could also be equipped with a nuclear payload, which would significantly expand Russia's nuclear deterrence capabilities. (Translated with www.DeepL.com/)(Free edition)
Tucker Carlson Calls to Ditch Glitchy Electronic Voting Machines
Technical glitches with voting machines in Arizona’s Maricopa County on Tuesday prompted Donald Trump to write on his Truth Social platform, “Here we go again?” | After the 2020 presidential elections, Trump and his team had claimed electronic voting had been part of the process to “rig” the elections in favor of his Democratic rival, Joe Biden. ● The glitchy start to voting in the midterm elections in Arizona’s Maricopa County on Tuesday prompted Fox News host Tucker Carlson to call for ending the use of electronic voting machines. Carlson insisted that 💬 “the core problem” is “we’re not really very serious about democracy if we’re using electronic voting machines or if we’re not requiring photo ID to vote.” ● Approximately an hour after the voting began, some of Maricopa County’s 223 voting sites began experiencing technical issues with the tabulators, according to the state’s media outlets. Ballots were reportedly not being read properly because of the printer settings, which churned out ballots where the formatting marks were not dark enough for the tabulators to read, officials were cited as saying. According to various estimates, from 10 to 30 percent of the electronic vote tabulation machines in the county were malfunctioning at some point until technicians fixed the issue.

“Give Kremlin A Warning”: US ‘Nuclear Apocalypse’ Submarine Enters Mediterranean
Multiple reports show the world’s largest nuclear submarine, the USS Rhode Island, left the Port of Gibraltar on Spain’s south coast last week and was last seen entering the Mediterranean.

The Ohio-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine can carry 24 Trident II missiles capable of hitting targets 18 thousand kilometers away.
Is the Golden Age for Jews Coming to an End? Some Jews Think so.
RockaBoatus | A recent article published in The Jerusalem Post by Adam Milstein laments what appears to be the end of the Jewish golden age: “Why the Golden Age for Jews in America is Coming to an End” (10/19/2022). | Milstein attributes this apparent end to an array of factors, such as rising anti-Semitism, a fading memory of the Holocaust, ideological polarization and liberalism, growing support for the Palestinian people, resulting in an increasing number of personal attacks on Jews. ● The author is concerned that American Jews are starting to experience the same type of violent attacks that European Jews have been experiencing for the past decade—with no apparent decline in Jewish power in the media and political arena. Nevertheless, Jews are fearful of wearing their kippot in public or anything that might identify them as Jewish.
