"Ukraine. Military Summary And Analysis 30.10.2022" (Military Summary).
"Russia-Ukraine War: Russia Launches Offensive Towards Vuhledar - October 30th" (THETI Mapping).
This is an excellent take on multiple issues: "‘It’s done,’ Liz #Truss messaged #AnthonyBlinken seconds after #NordStream explosion. Go figure" (Galloway). Should I be surprised that this Truss leak, using that Israeli software again (!), isn't a massive global scandal? This is WWIII, the third British-German world war, not to mention the second Crimean War of Britain and allies (but minus Turkey this time!), versus Russia.
Musk, who is prone to following the 'norms', and is under advertiser pressure to be a good boy, has withdrawn his truth-bomb tweet concerning Paul Pelosi:
Forget about everything else, this weirdo - I mean the guy who was arrested, not Paul Pelosi, sorry for the confusion, who appears to be the pure distillation of SF, all in one package - was allowed in to Pelosi's house - he wasn't charged with B&E, and the glass in the door was broken from the inside - and was found by the police with Pelosi, both in just their underwear. Do the math! An additional question: is the rumor that a young man was in Pelosi's car the night he was arrested for DUI true? Did the 'journalists' cover this up?
"Meet the spooks, mercs and chickenhawk politicos enlisting as NAFO trolls" (Rubinstein). A good collection of names to keep in the back of your mind as they pop up from time to time (although that excellent collection of memes is just common sense, as we should have learned by the ongoing crucifixion of Ye). The most interesting fact is the NAFO was built to support the same extremist Georgian militia now fighting and committing war crimes in Ukraine that Nuland used to murder people at the Maidan to get her desired regime change in Ukraine.
Most of these little annoyances are bend-the-knee stuff, a demonstration by them that we will take whatever punishments they decide to give to us, as a template for much worse things in the future:
Paper straws are the worst. They could have created an easily biodegradable usable straw. Instead, they provide us with thin paper straws that dissolve into a paper slurry in your mouth half-way through your drink. When Blackface Trudeau announced that plastic straws were cancelled for Canadians, to save the whales, or something, he shimmered in the sheer delight of his arbitrary power. These tiny performative bannings remind me of how Coke was allowed to save billions by replacing deposit-based bottle returns with 'recycling' (to understand 'recycling', just turn this cartoon upside down), which puts all the costs of Coke's polluting onto the public, and doesn't work, but makes people feel good about themselves as they walk to the separate bin.
Levine, another guy who just can't shake his genetic hatred of Russia, writes about Finland's odd suicide: "Finland knocking on NATO's door. Does this look like winning?" I'm sure Nuland is slow-walking the provision of arms to Ukraine to draw Russia further and further in, to enable the regime change, and partition of Russia, which is the point of this proxy war. What if big Russian brains are slow-walking the defeat of Ukraine, to draw Europe further and further in, to lead to the Russian goal of complete denazification of Europe (and destruction of the American Empire)?
"Peskov Cuts The Crap..." (Martyanov).
"Putin Talks with Fyodor Lukyanov at Valdai Forum October 2022 - English Subtitles" (Rossi). As usual, contrast Putin and Biden.
Remember all the (((media))) coverage of the big American protests against the illegal American attack on Iraq? If you don't, that's because there wasn't any. (((They))) wanted a war, so (((they))) covered up the dissent. "The Military-Industrial Media Complex Strikes Again" (Ottenberg).
"Biden's Foreign Policy Is Sinking the Congressional Dems—and Ukraine" (Sachs).
"NATO Had Plans for a Preemptive Strike on Russia Using the Cover of a French-Led Naval Exercise in the Mediterranean" (Van den Ende).
Where the grain went from those American-owned farms in Ukraine, a thread (hint: not to the countries that need it to avoid starvation):
Big Greenwald thread on the razor-thin victory for tepid centrism in Brazil (you could also argue that, considering all races, up and down the ballot, Bolsonaroism actually won the election, convincingly, and that the bad polling was actually push-polling, intended to influence the results):
