Portland Pro-Abortionists Burning, Vandalizing, Assaulting

Sputniknews.com

The police are currently investigating the surveillance footage, depicting the damage, caused to local businesses and government buildings during the clashes. The damage includes the Mark O. Hatfield federal courthouse, hit by burning items, and a Starbucks coffeehouse with broken glass and painted graffiti. Windows were also broken by vandals at The Portland Exchange, a small grocery and café connected to a new Hilton-owned hotel, according to KGW……..

In one of the videos, posted on Twitter, two participants were so “infuriated at street preachers that they began attacking people on their own side, including a peacekeeper and several women. One of the assailants grabbed a sign from a fellow protester and hit her on the head.”

 

AbortiFascists: Target Catholics With Violence/Vandalism/Obscenity

Lifesite News

Miyares’ [Virginia Attorney-General] vow to protect Catholic Virginias’ right to worship comes after radical pro-abortion groups publicly stated their plan to storm Catholic churches during Mass starting this coming Sunday.

The most notable group, called “Ruth Sent Us,” named after the former pro-abortion Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, took to Twitter last Tuesday to encourage people across the U.S. to storm their local parish starting on Sunday, May 8 – which is Mother’s Day in the U.S. – as a way to protest a possible overturning of Roe v. Wade by six Supreme Court justices, as was revealed in a leak last Monday.

The protests are anticipated to last all week, from May 8 through 14.

“Whether you’re a ‘Catholic for Choice’, ex-Catholic, of other or no faith, recognize that six extremist Catholics set out to overturn Roe,” the group tweeted. “Stand at or in a local Catholic Church Sunday May 8.” 

The tweet was accompanied by a video showing members of the group dressed in Handmaid’s Tale costumes and disrupting a Mass in a Catholic church by shouting a pro-abortion chant, demanding “abortion on demand and without apology!”? 

The same group also published the locations of six pro-life Supreme Court justices’ home addresses on their website last week, encouraging members to attend protests at their private residences.   

Acts of violence and vandalism have also multiplied across the U.S. since the leak. On Tuesday, a violent and vulgar protest by pro-abortion activists in Los Angeles resulted in at least one police officer being injured and parts of city being vandalized with obscene graffiti.

Jacque Attali in 2009: Hopefully, A Pandemic Will Bring About World Government

Alex Jones cites a supposed quote from Jacques Attali.

A number of social and print media outlets are running with the same quote.

Poynter says the text that social media cites is fraudulent or a wild misinterpretation.  Now I accept that social media might be running disinformation on this, but I am pretty much 100 percent sure that Poynter is.

The text is from a book that is now unavailable and out of print so we have to take the word of third parties who claim to have copies of it.

As for Attali, as he is a plagiarist and liar, I am not really interested in anything he has to say.

I found this, via Poynter, from Attali’s  blog in l’Expres in 2009.

History teaches us that humanity only evolves significantly when it is really afraid: it then first sets up defense mechanisms; sometimes intolerable (scapegoats and totalitarianisms); sometimes futile (distraction); sometimes effective (therapeutics, discarding if necessary all previous moral principles). Then, once the crisis is over, it transforms these mechanisms to make them compatible with individual freedom, and to inscribe them in a democratic health policy.

The pandemic that is beginning could trigger one of these structuring fears.

If it is not more serious than the two previous fears linked to a risk of pandemic (the mad cow crisis of 2001 in Great Britain and the bird flu crisis of 2003 in China), it will first have significant economic consequences (fall in air transport, fall in tourism and the price of oil); it will cost about 2 million dollars per contaminated person and will make the stock markets fall by about 15%; its impact will be very brief (China’s growth rate fell only in the second quarter of 2003, only to explode in the third quarter); it will also have organizational consequences (in 2003, very rigorous police measures were taken throughout Asia; the World Health Organization set up global alert procedures; and some countries, particularly France and Japan, stockpiled considerable quantities of drugs and masks).

If it is a little more serious, which is possible, since it is transmissible by humans, it will have truly planetary consequences: economic ( models suggest that it could lead to a loss of 3 trillion dollars, that is to say a drop of 5% of the world’s GDP) and political ( because of the risks of contagion, the countries of the North will have an interest in the countries of the South not being sick and they will have to ensure that the poorest have access to the medicines that are currently stocked only for the richest); a major pandemic will then bring out, better than any humanitarian or ecological discourse, the awareness of the need for altruism, which is, at the very least, self-serving.

And, even if, as we must obviously hope, this crisis is not very serious, we must not forget, as with the economic crisis, to draw lessons from it, so that before the next, inevitable one, prevention and control mechanisms and logistical processes for the equitable distribution of medicines and vaccines are put in place. To do this, we will have to set up a world police force, a world stockpile and therefore a world tax system. We will then come, much more quickly than would have been possible on economic grounds alone, to set up the foundations of a true world government. It was through the hospital that the establishment of a real state began in France in the 17th century.

In the meantime, we could at least hope for the implementation of a real European policy on the subject. But here again, as on so many other subjects, Brussels is silent.

I also ran into this explanation from dailyhunt.in:

Attali, a former adviser to late French president François Mitterrand, has written numerous books. However, none of them were called “The Future of Life”.

“Future Life”, published in 1981 in French as “L’Avenir du Futur” and later translated into English, was written by Michel Salomon and features an interview with Attali in which he answers the question “Is it possible and desirable to live 120 years?”

The book’s publisher, Seghers, sent AFP a copy of the passage in which Attali is quoted.


Excerpt featuring Attali’s interview in the original French version of “Future Life”

At one point in the interview, Attali says: “...as soon as a person gets to be older than sixty or sixty-five, and his productivity and profitability begin to slip, he costs society dearly.” And later: “Actually, from the viewpoint of the cost to society, it is much preferable that the human machine abruptly stop functioning than that it deteriorate very gradually.”

Which is considerably more sinister than the article that Poynter pulled up, which obscures Attali’s real position.

Russia Become Most Sanctioned Country In World, With 5532

Economic Times, India, cites the sanctions watchlist site, Castellum.AI [New York] on the most- sanctioned country in the world, Russia:

The site said that 2,754 sanctions were already in place against Russia before February 22 and 2,778 additional were imposed in the days following the assault, bringing the total to 5,532……

Russia’s number now outranks Iran’s 3,616 sanctions, displacing Tehran from the top position, reports the BBC citing Castellum.AI as saying.

According to the site, the countries and regions targeting Russia with sanctions are Switzerland (568), the European Union (518), Canada (454), Australia (413), the US (243), the UK (35) and Japan (35).”

 

Senile Puppet Biden Pouring Oil On Ukraine Fire

So useful to have as president an elderly man in dire need of cognitive rehabilitation. Whenever Biden manages to get his tongue around his handlers’ more incendiary prompts and there is an outcry,  it can be explained away and the public can blame it on the president’s failing brain.

There is no brain failure in these verbal bombs someone’s feeding the president.

They are deliberate provocations.

The world is on the brink of nuclear war over a NATO proxy state in eastern Europe and the only way out is for NATO to back off and give Russia a reason to negotiate.

Instead, the slavering wolves driving this war throw their heads back and bay louder, escalating tension and making the possibility of an accident or a paranoid  reaction even greater.

March 17: Biden calls Putin a “war criminal.”

March 18: Biden calls Putin a “murderous dictator,” a “pure thug.”

March 23: Biden claims that Russia is planning a chemical attack.

The claim is contradicted by US intelligence and is a diversion from the official confirmation of US biological labs in Ukraine.

The Grayzone has deconstructed the British psyops operative, who has resurfaced from the Syrian war to make the same inflammatory and conjectural accusations in Ukraine.

March 25: Biden tells US troops in Poland that they will be in Ukraine.

March 26:  Biden calls Putin a “butcher.”

March 26: Biden says Putin “cannot remain in power.”

 

NATO’s Nazis Support Ukraine’s Nazis

From Niqnaq blog: [Lila: my excerpting and emphasis; this is not an endorsement of any other position on this blog, which I came across while hunting for information which was sound and well referenced.]

ITEM

On Feb 27 2022, Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland held a scarf bearing the slogan “Slava Ukraini,” meaning “Glory to Ukraine,” with the “Blood and Soil” colors of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) (who collaborated with the Nazis during WW2 and massacred thousands of Jews and Poles). She then proceeded to post this picture onto her Twitter account (replacing it hours later with a picture of her without the “Blood and Soil” scarf) and accused her detractors of “reeking of Russian disinformation”. This controversial picture of Freeland was reported by Canada’s National Post…… Not irrelevant in all of this is the fact that Freeland’s grandfather was the chief editor of a Nazi newspaper during WW2 in Galacia and that she is indeed aware of this and apparently unapologetic. Whenever she is questioned about this, she does not deny anything, but simply blames such a focus of inquiry on Russian disinformation with the intent to “destabilize Western democracies.” That is, it is not a question of what is one’s historical or ideological background, but a question of “whose side are you on?” Interestingly, it was the Canadian newspaper “The Globe and Mail” who reported this story, titled “Freeland knew her grandfather was editor of Nazi newspaper,” thus, not a Russian publication last time I checked. And upon whom did they base such information? None other than Freeland’s own uncle, John-Paul Himka, who is now professor emeritus at the University of Alberta. According to the Globe and Mail, Freeland was aware for more than two decades that her grandfather Michael Chomiak, was the chief editor of a Nazi newspaper that vilified Jews and supported the Nazi cause. Globe and Mail writes:

Krakivski Visti [Krakow News] was set up in 1940 by the German army and supervised by German intelligence officer Emil Gassert. Its printing presses and offices were confiscated by the Germans from a Jewish publisher, who was later murdered at the Belzec concentration camp. The article titled ‘Kravivski Visti and the Jews, 1943: A contribution of Ukrainian Jewish Relations during the Second World War’ was written by Ms Freeland’s uncle, John-Paul Himka, now professor emeritus at the University of Alberta. In the foreword to the article, Prof Himka credits Ms Freeland for ‘pointing out problems and clarifications.’ Ms Freeland has never acknowledged that her grandfather was a Nazi collaborator and suggested on Monday that the allegation was part of a Russian disinformation campaign. In 1996, Prof Himka wrote about Mr Chomiak’s work for Kravivski Visti, a Ukrainian-language newspaper based in Krakow that often published anti-Jewish diatribes including ‘certain passages in some of the articles that expressed approval of what the Nazis were doing to the Jews.’…..

ITEM

Then there is the strange case of NATO tweeting in celebration of international women’s day, this past Mar 8, a picture of a female Ukrainian soldier wearing the Black Sun symbol which is tied to Nazi occultism, and Satanism. NATO wrote in their post: “All women and girls must live free and equal,” sending a very mixed message. NATO also ended up taking down their picture of the Black Sun symbol.

ITEM

John McCain visits Ukraine in Dec 2013 in support of a regime change. The world should have been appalled and horrified at such an exposure of US criminality and duplicity. That the US had directly and loudly encouraged and financially supported a revolution that resulted in many tragic deaths, only to steal the Ukrainian people’s right to choose their own government democratically. The Americans also encouraged the Ukrainian people to fight for the EU Deal. And the Ukrainian people received the EU Deal that they were literally dying for. Where are they today? The poorest country in all of Europe. Ukraine used to be among the richest countries in Eastern Europe, known as “the breadbasket of Europe.” However, this economic fact is harder and harder to come by since Ukraine was a part of the USSR when their economy was at its peak. A most inconvenient truth. It is for this reason that you will be hard pressed to find any GDP graph of Ukraine that begins earlier than 1991, the date of their independence. From 1991 to 1997, Ukraine lost 60% of their GDP (1) and suffered five-digit inflation rates. (2) Who was Ukraine beholden to during this massive recession that has never really ended for Ukrainians? The IMF. [More on this story in Part 2.]

ITEM

On Jan 23 2018, Joe Biden was invited to speak at a CFR platform about an article he co-authored with Michael Carpenter titled “How to Stand Up to the Kremlin: Defending Democracy Against Its Enemies.” ……. Joe Biden makes the following admission at this 2018 CFR platform:

I went over I guess the 12th, 13th time to Kiev, and I was going supposed to announce that there was another billion dollar loan guarantee. And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from Yatsenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor and they didn’t. So they said they had it [the loan] they were walking out to press and I said nah, I said I’m not going or we’re not going to give you the billion dollars. They said ‘you have no authority, you’re not the president, the president said,’ I said call him. [laughter in background] I said, I’m telling you’re not getting a billion dollars. I said you’re not getting a billion and I’m gonna be leaving here. I think it was about six hours. I looked I said I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money. Oh son of a bitch. He got fired. [laughter in background] And they put in place, someone who was solid.

ITEM

During the EU Deal dispute that was used to trigger the Ukrainian protests, it has since been discovered that part of the conditions of this “deal,” which was strong-armed by the IMF, was the demand that a significant rise in utility rates (first and foremost electricity and gas) be implemented while the income of Ukrainians stayed the same. Who was Ukrainian President Yanukovych’s point person in the US during the Ukrainian protests and EU Deal controversy? US Vice President Joe Biden. The Ukrainian people had no idea. The very deal they were fighting and dying for was to directly benefit corrupt gas companies such as Burisma Holdings and their foreign shareholders, to the economic detriment of the Ukrainian people. A similar situation to what most of Europe is facing today under a plethora of glorious “EU Deals” in the midst of an energy crisis.

ITEM

In addition, the NYT has just recently published an article confirming that the notorious Hunter Biden laptop that was claimed as “Russian disinformation” by our trustworthy fact-checkers, is in actual fact, AUTHENTIC. A very important piece of information that should have been made available to the American people before they chose who would be their next President. This important piece of information was denied to the American people by the very thing that is proclaimed to be defending “national security,” the unelected and anonymous but all powerful, “fact-checkers.”..

ITEM

So, we all know Joe Biden has been promoted, um “elected,” President. Where are Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt today? Nuland serves as the Under Sec State for Political Affairs of the US. Pyatt serves as the US Ambassador to Greece. Nuland, not one to shy away from unflattering spotlight, has again made headlines. This time on the American, starts with “bio” ends with “lab,” situation in Ukraine…..

ITEM

What did not make the headlines with equal vigour is what Nuland did after her failed diplomatic visit to Russia this past October, which was according to French journalist Thierry Meyssan, to “impose” Yarosh onto President Zelensky. On Nov 2 2021, President Zelensky appointed Dmytro Yarosh (leader of the Right Sector 2013-2015) as Adviser to the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valeri Zaluzhny. Nuland is of Ukrainian Jewish descent, thus her ongoing support for neo-Nazis in the Ukrainian government and military since 2014 is disturbing on multiple levels. Right Sector has close connections with Trident (Tryzub) and Patriot of Ukraine. All three groups are right-wing nationalist, neo-Nazi, paramilitary movements as well as political parties. Look it up for yourself, not even Wikipedia is denying this. Yarosh was the leader of Tryzub starting in 2005. Tryzub led to the formation of the Right Sector, to which Yarosh was also leader of between 2013-2015 and continues to have a great deal of influence on all these groupings. Dmytro Yarosh has been on Interpol’s “wanted list” since 2014.

Recall that in 2014, the US “influence” on the newly formed Ukrainian government was raising concern, specifically around members of Svoboda and Pravyi Sector (Right Sector) holding five senior roles in the new government, including the post of deputy prime minister. This story was reported by Reuters.

ITEM

On Jan 1 2022, hundreds of Ukrainian nationalists held a torchlight march in the capital of Kyiv, seen in the above picture, to mark the birthday of Stephen Bandera one of the leaders of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and its paramilitary unit the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) who fought alongside the Nazis during WW2 and massacred thousands of Jews and Poles. These Ukrainian nationalists are shown in the above picture holding the Svoboda and UPA “Blood and Soil” flag. The latter being the same emblem Chrystia Freeland held this past February. This event was reported by The Times of Israel. I wonder, will Freeland’s press secretary dare to call this another classic case of “KGB disinformation”? So what is going on here? Are there real Nazis in Ukraine that are being selected, with US and possibly NATO backing, to play a political and military role? And if so, why?

Ukraine Military Medical Chief: Castrate Wounded Russian “cockroaches”

Gennadiy Druzenko, head of Ukrainian military medical service, boasted on Ukraine 24 channel that he “gave strict orders to castrate all the wounded” Russians “because they are cockroaches, not humans.”

He further implied that, at the hands of his unit, Russian prisoners of war “will die in very large numbers” so that surviving Russians remembered Ukraine with terror like the Germans remembered Stalingrad.”

RT also reports: “A darling of the Western media amid the Russian attack on his country, Druzenko is fluent in English and has been readily speaking to the likes of CNN and the New York Post about the work of what these outlets have dubbed the “medical angels.”

 

Russia: It’s No Longer Just About Ukraine

Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, after discussions in Antalya with the Turkish and Ukrainian foreign ministers,  March 10, 2022:

We have realised that the point at issue is not Ukraine at all. It is an aggression against all things Russian – interests, religion, culture, language, security, etc. The West’s furious reaction to our actions demonstrates that this is a life and death struggle, a struggle for Russia’s right to be on the political map of the world with full respect for its legitimate interests.

Ukraine: The Kleptocrats’ War With Putin

It’s been a year since I blogged here, but the war in Ukraine has drawn me out finally.

Here is a link to my comments at Disqus, made most recently at American Conservative, at Rod Dreher’s blog.

As he’s Orthodox, his posts usually carry themes and information I find useful, but, while he is against the US being drawn into the war, he still makes a moral equivalence between both sides. That equivalence is ultimately soft support of the NATO position.

A limited war to address a serious security threat on a country’s borders and enforce treaty obligations might very well not even be a violation of international law.

I would have to look it up.

But intervening to end the bloody oppression of civilians and get rid of a government that is essentially a kleptocrat front likely meets the definition of a just war. Certainly, Russia has more justification in the Ukraine than America ever did in Iraq, and if I recall right, scholars like Jean Bethke Elshtain managed to defend that war on just war grounds [erroneously].

As for Zelensky, what can be said of a president who, instead of making absolutely reasonable concessions and thus limiting the damage to the population, opens the prison doors and lets out hardened criminals and puts automatic weapons into the hands of women and children?  Who teaches ordinary people to make Molotov cocktails to attack the best trained special operations forces in the world.

Zelensky is trying to increase Ukrainian civilian casualties. No question.

Consider his invitation to mercenaries and volunteers across the globe to show up in Ukraine to fight for his corrupt regime with free equipment given by NATO? How is this not anything but reckless, selfish, and completely contrary to the behavior of a truly courageous and responsible leader who would try to limit, not exacerbate, the bloodshed?

But then. it may not after all be Putin who harbors  dreams of blood and soil. There was, indeed, little evidence of that in the pragmatic speeches the Russian President gave on the eve of war.

But the billionaire backers of Zelensky [a Ukrainian Jew himself],  Igor Kolomoisky and Hennady Bogolyubov, who ran one of the largest frauds in banking history via PrivatGroup and PrivatBank, while also sitting as board members of various Jewish ethnic organizations, have already given their money to Jewish non profits in the US, some, like Chabad, fostering Jewish ethnic identity.

One needs to ask if the rebirth of a Ukrainian or Crimean homeland might actually be the goal of the Ukrainian Jews’ own territorial ambition?

 

A Leftist Defends Trump As America’s Champion

Emmanuel Pastreich a leftist with intellectual integrity has written a defense of Donald Trump’s real achievements that  puts the backstabbing buffoons of the Republican party to greater shame than that which they heaped on themselves during their sniveling wimp-out on January 6.

Pastreich credits Trump with

opposing foreign wars;

opposing trade agreements that destroy the working class;

opposing immigration used as a tool against the country;

bringing the Federal Reserve more under the control of the Treasury;

opening up public discussion of the vast conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy and declassifying documents that relate to it and other crimes;

questioning the official story about 9/11 and many other conspiracies;

undermining the major media and promoting alternative media;

doing his best to defend us against the pandemic police state;

promoting the use of HCQ despite universal mockery;

supporting the hunt for pedophile blackmail rings;

and unveiling and publicizing the criminal corruption of the swamp.

It was for this last, says Pastereich, that he paid the price. He suddenly came down with Covid and shortly after was targeted by a vast election cyberhack involving multiple nations, all profiteering from the vaccine regime of the pandemic police state.

The finale of this world historical sabotage is the minor fracas now entered into official history as the Capitol Insurrection of January 6, for which Trump, painted as Miami’s answer to Osama Bin Laden, is being held solely responsible. This, argues Pastreich, is a prelude to making any dissent from the vaccine regime or the official election narrative a form of domestic terrorism subject to the full weight of the totalitarian state apparatus,

The only failing in this otherwise admirable essay is the needless pearl-clutching about Trump’s garish tastes in decor, multiple marriages, and ties to casinos and mobsters. Pastreich says he has “grudging respect” for Trump’s fundamental decency as a human being, considers him a much better president than Obama, Bush, or Clinton, but wouldn’t buy a used car from him.

Ah well. Thus ever the chattering classes. Even the very best among them would be useless on a battlefield.

We don’t have “grudging respect” for Trump. We  unequivocally like the guy. If the best you can bring to the endless inquisition about not so much Trump’s character as his style is status-signaling about your superior taste in clothes and houses, then you have established yourself only as a snob without a sense of proportion.

If his multiple wives…all of whom seen to stay friends with him… are the worst of his sins, then in the vicious dens of DC he is an innocent indeed.
