WWIII is Over - Vox Popoli - (And WAS over in 1970! Read why! But ALWAYS beware of DaJudas factor! - CL)

 Russia and China, and their allies, already have an industrial advantage that cannot be overcome, as Andrei Martynov observes that Russia alone can produce nearly 6 million drones per year.

The Russian military-industrial complex (MIC) has the ability to produce more than 15 thousand FPV drones per day. This was announced on June 3 by the First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov. “Domestic enterprises can already ensure the supply of over 15 thousand pieces per day of FPV drones alone, and in 2023 such a number was produced per month,” he said in an interview with the Kommersant newspaper......

.....Now to the crux of the matter–Russia MAY strike Europe, and among targets could be some of those UAVs-producing facilities, but if it happens, it is going to be NOT the main consideration, and NATO’s UAVs could be used MERELY as casus belli. Already now Russia blunted and mitigated all this “wall of drones”–yet another pathetic moniker for NATO’s military impotence–if Russia will be striking Europe she will come in hard and main targets will be the remnants of NATO’s industrial plant, thus solving a strategic task of a complete demilitarization of Europe.

This doesn’t mean that foreign regimes like the Kiev regime won’t force the people of the occupied nations to fight wars against their national self-interests. But it does mean they’re not going to win any of them, including the war on Iran.

All the GDP statistics and revisionist histories and rhetoric mean nothing. The only thing that counts in 5GW is industrial capacity, and that was eliminated in both the USA and Europe after 1970.........

.....“Melnichenko’s words are clear: the war is the West’s fault, and Russia is being restructured as a self-sufficient society of supreme sovereignty where even the previously-alienated liberal class of exiles and pariahs has returned with newfound patriotism in its veins. A nation where oligarchs and big businesses are increasingly working for the benefit of the state and its people, rather than the crooked Western system which deceived and betrayed them.” – Simplicius

....I believe in the next decade we will see a major upheaval in America.  If Americans hardly recognize their country now compared to the 1990s and 2000s, just wait for 2035.  We will see another election of a non-White president, at least a parity of Whites vs. non-Whites in the House and Senate and the beginning of laws overtly persecuting Whites introduced on the House floor. The country’s moral outlook and cultural aspirations will shift away from traditionally Western norms toward a more eclectic mix drawn from alien, non-Western cultures.  Whites will become an ethnic minority, and they will be the topic of discussions in future Congressional committees on what the fate of them should be: deportation, isolation or extermination.

Batten down the hatches, my European brothers, a storm is coming.

Steel Over Paper: Iran’s Civilizational Rebirth - How Tehran lost its victory - (DaJudas factor! - CL)

 The Memorandum of Understanding was not a diplomatic breakthrough; it was the formal admission of forty years of failure, signed by a superpower that had been outmanoeuvred, outranged, and outlasted.

At the peak of this strategic momentum, with escalation dominance firmly in Iranian hands, a faction inside Tehran stopped the advance. The men who brought the catastrophic JCPOA, the Zarif school, a tendency that under pressure created the diplomatic offramp necessary for Trump to save face and disguise his strategic defeat before the electorate, are now incarnate in Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. They froze all of Iran’s advantages in a piece of paper. This is the same liberal tendency that has held the presidency for more than three decades, and whose record is a continuous chain of national trauma. ......

.....Nuclear capability, the demonstrable capacity to deliver a nuclear payload, is the only guarantee of sovereignty in an age where the coalition that bombs schools to test a nation’s will operates with complete impunity. It is not a preference; it is an existential necessity. The Reformist offered the NPT as a badge of respectability. The people have seen where respectability leads: to Minab, to hospitals and sports complexes reduced to rubble, to refineries and power plants laid waste. They will not accept a cage when the predator is already within. This is the same calibrated treachery that Russia has endured, the same pattern of negotiation as sedative and paper as the prelude to encirclement. Against this design, neither Iran nor Russia can prevail by playing the Western game at the Western table, by accepting the procedural traps of an institutional architecture built to neutralize the independent. The only answer is to refuse the table itself.

The Supreme Leader is gone, but his warning remains, and his funeral has proved that the people are its executors. The guardians have spoken. The streets have voted with their millions. The restoration of deterrence is no longer a strategic option; it is the will of a civilization that has chosen the sword over the ledger, and the immutable over the negotiable. The funeral has buried the liberal illusion. The missiles over Bahrain and Kuwait have buried the truce.

A New Iran and a New Russia must emerge, drawing on the deepest roots of their civilizational identity, not as supplicants seeking recognition from a dying order, but as sovereign poles that reestablish true deterrence through the cold grammar of realist logic: capability, geography, and the demonstrated will to impose costs. The closure of the dual straits, the exit from the treaty cage, and the redefinition of the nuclear redline are not policy options; they are the minimal architecture of a state that has chosen the immutable over the negotiable. The age of paper is over. What begins now is the age of steel.

...That time is now.

It takes a year or two to get all the seed oils out of your body; they're fats and get incorporated into your cellular structure.  When you replace said intake with butter, lard and tallow they don't instantly get swapped; it took years for them to get in there and it will take years for them to be replaced.  However, the benefits start immediately, as do those from removing the fast carbs.

Yes, the first two weeks to a month is Hell; fast carbohydrates are extremely addictive.  So is heroin and cigarettes; is that a reason to not stop using either or both?

Keep some fresh green veggies (e.g. broccoli or even celery) in the fridge and when you get the urge to eat, and you will while withdrawing them from these things, munch those until it ceases.  No dressings all of which contain seed oils, sugar -- or worse, both.  If you consume alcohol keep it to either wine or hard liquor and no sugared mixers -- and no more than one drink on average per day and two on any day.  Beer and mixers are full of fast carbs.

Will your insulin sensitivity return?  Yes.  It will take a couple of years but it will return.  Mine did.  But it didn't happen instantly and it won't with you either.  How do you know it has?  You'll be able to fast for 24 hours without discomfort, among other things -- and you'll find your fasting blood glucose, without any drugs, will be around 80 with post-prandial (after eating) levels will not exceed 140.

Yes, you can get there.  No, "under 200" post-eating is not there.  But if its going the right way after you've made this change then you have personal proof that it works.

Over time if you're hypertensive that will resolve too.  That may take longer; again body mass is a contributor but not the primary driver; it is inflammation that has to come down.

Yes, it does work.

And it both costs zero and has no bad adverse effects.

Certainly it won't harm you if you do this for a month or two.  You've been doing the other for 20+ years, so do you really think in a month or two it'll kill you to change it?  Of course not so why not do it and see what happens for you, personally, as a trial of one?

I will warn you that this path does have a couple of "side effects."

First, your pants will fall off.

Second, your wallet will be fatter because you won't need to buy all those drugs you're gobbling (and/or injecting) now.

President Trump and NATO Have Declared War on Russia and Putin Is Oblivious - PCR

 https://www.lewrockwell.com/2026/07/paul-craig-roberts/president-trump-and-nato-have-declared-war-on-russia-and-putin-is-oblivious/ 

How can Putin be relying on Trump when all evidence makes it clear that Ukraine’s drone war-fighting against Russia is being integrated within the West’s intent to bring down Putin and Russia? As Helmer reports, Trump has told Zelensky that the US is going to provide Zelensky with the right and the means to produce in Ukraine the US Patriot and Tomahawk missiles with which to war on the Russian motherland.

All of this has been completely clear since Washington’s overthrow of the Ukrainian government in 2014 and installation of an anti-Russian puppet government.  It has been made clear many times, every one of which was ignored by Putin.  Reality has proved to be too much for Putin.  He has proven himself to be unable to cope with clear and obvious challenges.

Now it has again been made clear to Putin by Trump. On June 17 at the G-7 meeting in France Trump signed this statement: The 5-Ingredient Cookb...Kelly, BenjaminCheck Amazon for Pricing.

“We agree to increase the delivery of air defense capacities, additional systems and interceptors, and long-range capabilities. We are also ready to consider extending to Ukraine the benefit of licenses to allow for an increase in Ukraine’s military production…We commit to increase the pressure on the Russian war economy. In this context, we will strengthen our sanctions, including those on the oil and gas sectors.”  This is a declaration of war on Russia!  Why can’t Putin, the Russian High Command, the Russian media recognize a declaration of war against Russia?!!

The Men Who Own the War Now Run It - Antiwar.com

 There was a time when the arms dealer waited in the corridor. He financed the campaign, endowed the think tank, took the general to dinner, and hoped the man inside the office would remember him when the contract came up. The wall between the money and the decision was thin, often corrupt, but it was there. Someone held the public trust, and someone else tried to buy it, and you could at least tell the two apart.

That wall is gone. The financier no longer waits in the corridor. He holds the office. He signs the checks. He is the buyer and the seller, the regulator and the regulated, the public interest and the private portfolio, fused into a single man in a single suit, and the arrangement is entirely legal, which is the whole problem.

One of these men may already be familiar from a previous article. His name is Friedrich Merz.

The chancellor was the warm-up act....

....The same men, both shores

Line them up. Merz chaired an asset manager and then commanded the German rearmament that manager profits from. Phelan ran a billionaire’s money and then took command of the Navy that buys from the companies he held. Feinberg ran a private equity empire and then took the Pentagon’s second chair and filled the building with his former partners. Different countries, different uniforms, one profession and one move: from owning the assets of war to commanding the state that pays for them.

The line worth repeating from Merz’s own story turns out not to have been about Germany at all. The buildup manufactures the danger it claims to answer. Every European budget hardens Moscow’s conviction that it is being encircled, which justifies the next budget, around and around, while the men who profit count their dividends and call it security. That was true of one chancellor. It is true of an entire class of men who have stopped seeing daylight between the public interest and their own book, because across their whole careers there never was any.

The old fear, the one Eisenhower named in 1961, was that the military-industrial complex would acquire unwarranted influence over the government. That fear is quaint now. Influence is what you need when you are standing in the corridor. These men are not in the corridor. They are behind the desk, and the desk has a checkbook with no ceiling, and the recruiting brochure is on the table telling the next banker that whatever he needs, he can get.
