Long before the British intelligence agency MI6 invented the story that Russian military agents had carried the nerve agent weapon Novichok into England, fired it at two Russians, and left it in a dustbin for a local scavenger to find, take home and kill his girlfriend, there was depleted uranium poisoning.

This is a weapon of mass destruction (WMD).

In the past thirty years it has been used by the US, British, and Israeli armies in their wars against Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine (Gaza), Serbia, and recently against the Russians on the Ukrainian battlefield. As a US invention, however, depleted uranium dispersal as a gas to contaminate terrain for enemy soldiers has been acknowledged in secret since 1943.

In the official military manuals, depleted uranium rounds are used because their metal concentration and intense heat burn their way through armour plate. In practice, they vaporise high concentrations of radioactive particles to cover large swathes of territory, civilian and military.

The US Department of Homeland Security defines a weapon of mass destruction (WMD) as “a nuclear, radiological, chemical, biological, or other device that is intended to harm a large number of people.” DU harms a relatively small number of soldiers on a battlefield operating in tanks, other armoured vehicles, self-propelled artillery and reinforced bunkers. DU strikes a much larger number of people through the release of radiation downwind of the battlefield by penetrating their bodies, attacking their genetic codes, and triggering cancers, birth defects, miscarriages of the unborn, and premature death of adults.

According to Homeland Security, it “works every day to prevent terrorists and other threat actors from using these weapons to harm Americans.” But when the US supplies its DU weapons to the Israeli and Ukrainian armies, it intends to cause this mass destruction by not caring for the harm they do — in fact concealing this harm, and publicly pretending DU ordnance is not what it is.

DU is a WMD by stealth. The US knows this because US and British soldiers who participated in the first battlefield use of DU shells and bombs, the war against Iraq in 1991, have been the long-term victims of their own weapons.

My thought is that whatever they find out from the study they won’t change anything operationally to make it safer for the troops. Nor will they provide any ongoing care for the veterans.

If they cared about veterans they would take steps to do something about the shocking number of suicides among veterans. The philosophy in regard to service members seems to be use and discard them when no longer useful.

The exposure screening process consists of a medical provider asking a patient a set of questions. Those include whether the patient thinks they were exposed to any toxic substances from burn pits, Agent Orange, radiation, contaminated water or other pollutants; what they think they may have been exposed to; and whether they have questions.

The screenings are to be conducted at least every five years, with the results kept in the veterans' health records, according to the VA.

German youth could join the Hitler Youth beginning at the age of 10. The organization was divided into two categories, one for members ages 10-14 and the other for members 14-18. The organizational structure was based on a military model, with squads, platoons, and companies.

Hitler was a firm believer in the need to indoctrinate Nazi ideology early and the power of young people in ensuring the continued vitality of the “Thousand Year Reich.” The Hitler Youth was based on Hitler’s anti-intellectualism, focusing on military training in preparation for becoming a soldier at 18.

Young German women were indoctrinated with the values of obedience, duty, self-sacrifice, discipline and physical self-control. The goal of girls in the BDM was to prepare women for motherhood and raise children who would be educated in the ways of National Socialism. They were indoctrinated with “racial pride” and told to avoid any contact with Jews.

During World War II, the girls of the BDM played a significant role in the ideological and propaganda side. The girls division of Hitler Youth was much more ideological then the boys. Sometimes estranged from their families, the girls would become their family’s ideological guides and guards.

U.S. MILITARY OUTPOSTS in Iraq and Syria are plagued by thefts of weapons and equipment, according to exclusive documents obtained by The Intercept that show militias and criminal gangs are systematically targeting U.S. forces.

Military investigations launched earlier this year found that “multiple sensitive weapons and equipment” — including guided missile launch systems as well as drones — have been stolen in Iraq. This follows hundreds of thousands of dollars in military gear that were purloined from U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria between 2020 and 2022, as reported earlier this year by The Intercept.

America’s bases in Iraq and Syria ostensibly exist to conduct “counter-ISIS missions,” but experts say they are used primarily as a check against Iran. Since the October outbreak of the conflict between Israel and Hamas, these bases have come under regular rocket and drone attacks as part of an undeclared war between the U.S. and Iran and its surrogate militias.

The German newspaper Bild reported on Friday, citing a German government source, that Germany and the United States, Ukraine’s main military backers, intend to pressure Kiev to negotiate with Russia by limiting the quantity and quality of weapons supplied.

The two countries plan to supply Kiev with the type and quantity of weapons that would leave the Ukrainian army able to hold current positions but unable to reclaim territory controlled by Russia, according to the report.

Bild added that in this way, Berlin and Washington hope to force Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to believe that there is no point in continuing the fighting, without directly asking him to sit at the negotiating table with Russia.

If this plan does not succeed, the United States and Germany are also working on developing an “alternative plan” that will lead to a “Minsk agreement without an agreement,” when the conflict between Russia and Ukraine freezes without negotiating the demarcation of the borders. Bild added that Berlin intends to encourage Kiev to negotiate based on the current situation on the ground.

More than half of Europeans say their budget has tightened over the past three years, according to a recent study.

Rising prices have pushed almost one-third of Europeans into a "precarious" financial situation, a recent survey has found.

The second European Barometer on Poverty and Precariousness examined Europeans' ability to make purchases and found that it has declined over the past three years, forcing a majority of them skip meals and resort to making difficult financial choices.

Of the 10,000 surveyed by Ipsos for French Secours Populaire, 29% said their financial situation was "precarious" and any unexpected expense would make their balance tip.

The larvae meal is intended as stock feed. If you think about it if there is a wheat or corn or barley crop failure in the near future ( we know that the US had bio warfare labs all over Ukraine targeting the Slavic/Russian genome ) so why wouldn’t the US ( and other enemies ) work on destroying food crops in Russia? So...if grain crops are significantly reduced and you only have enough grain meal for people what do you feed your livestock so that they don’t parish?? The way that Eddie wrote the article he implied that the larvae meal was secretly being produced for human consumption when they stated that it was being studied as livestock feed.

Shelves of 19th century Russian literature have been ransacked over the past two years in Poland and the Baltic states, with originals replaced by fakes.

The University of Warsaw library only found out last month about the thefts, including first editions of works by Alexander Pushkin and Nikolai Gogol.

A university employee with knowledge of the matter estimated the value of the stolen books at "around a million euros".

"It was like gouging out the crown jewels," Hieronim Grala, a former diplomat, an expert in Russia policy and professor at the University of Warsaw told AFP.

snip

The theft in Warsaw was not an isolated event.

Libraries in the three Baltic countries have also fallen prey to thieves, and in each case Russian literature was targeted.

Experts believe the stolen works have found their way to Russia, with at least some sold off at hasty auctions in Moscow.

snip

In May, Lithuania's Vilnius University library discovered 17 of its rare Russian books had gone missing too.

snip

The University of Warsaw has so far identified 79 books as missing, meaning it suffered the most substantial losses of all four countries.

"Here, the thieves operated on an industrial scale," a Warsaw University library employee who declined to be named, told AFP.

"When I saw what they had taken, I felt a hot flash.”

snip

"It is clear to me that the whole action was centrally organised from Russia," Grala told AFP.

To Grala, there is a clear Russian link connecting the thefts in Poland and the Baltic countries which is hardly a surprise or coincidence.

"The first three strikes hit those countries that the Russians accuse of fighting the Russian language and Russian culture," he told AFP.

What hypocrites, first they ban everything Russian, literature, music, dance, language, rename museums, streets, parks, tear down Russian monuments and then they cry that they’ve been divested of Russian literary treasures. LOL! And of course it’s Russia’s fault.

The allegory is one in which a scorpion depends on the frog for its passage across a flooded river, by hitching a lift on the frog’s back. The frog distrusts the scorpion; but reluctantly agrees. During the crossing the scorpion fatally stings the frog swimming the river, under the scorpion. They both die.

It is a tale from antiquity intended to illustrate the nature of tragedy. A Greek tragedy is one in which the crisis at the heart of any ‘tragedy’ does not arise by sheer mischance. The Greek sense is that tragedy is where something happens because it has to happen; because of the nature of the participants; because the actors involved make it happen. And they have no choice but to make it happen, because that is their nature.

It is a story that was deployed by a former senior Israeli diplomat, well versed in U.S. politics. His telling of the frog fable has Israel’s leaders desperately fending off responsibility for the 7 October débacle, with a cabinet furiously trying to turn the crisis (psychologically) from culpable disaster – to present the Israeli public instead with an image of epic opportunity.

The chimaera being presented is one that by reaching back to earliest Zionist ideology, Israel can turn the catastrophe in Gaza – as Finance Minister Smotrich has long argued – into a solution that once and for all ‘unilaterally resolves the inherent contradiction between Jewish and Palestinian aspirations – by ending the illusion that any kind of compromise, reconciliation or partition is possible.

This is the potential scorpion sting: the Israeli cabinet betting all on a hugely risky strategy – a new Nakba – that could draw Israel into major conflict, but in so doing also sink what remains of western prestige.

Of course, as the former Israeli diplomat underlines, this ploy is essentially constructed around Netanyahu’s personal ambition – he manoeuvres to alleviate criticism and to stay in power as long as he can. More importantly, he hopes this will enable him to spread the blame, shedding all and any responsibility and accountability from himself. [Better still], “it can place Gaza in an historic and epic context as an event that might render the PM as a formative wartime leader of grandeur and glory”.

Far-fetched? Not necessarily.

The Ukrainian constitution was originally set up to exclude the possibility of Ukraine joining any military alliances, and that was one of the main reasons Ukraine was allowed to leave the USSR in the first place. Subsequently, this proviso was removed from the Ukrainian constitution, and President Zelensky in particular was making loud noises about wanting to join NATO.

Correct. But the part that you don’t say is that the elected President of Ukraine was regime changed from office by the US ( Maiden Coup ) and then the constitution was changed and Nazi Banderites were installed in positions of political and military power. President (in name only) Zelensky reads the script that the US/CIA give him ( he is an actor by profession after all ) because he is not making any decisions on his own.

So, is their some arrangement that could be found that would effectively amount to common ground between President Putin of Russia, and President Zelensky of Ukraine,

That "arrangement” was made in Turkey in March 2022 and was negated by the US and UK when they sent Boris Johnson to Kiev to tell Zelensky to break the ceasefire. Israel and Turkey officials present both confirm that a deal to stop the war was reached by Russia and Ukraine. After that debacle Zelensky passed a decree that made it illegal for anyone in Ukraine government to negotiate with Russia as long as Putin is President. So the oft stated US goal of regime change in Russia was reaffirmed by Zelensky with that decree.

You are ignoring that the US/NATO and EU have used Ukraine as a proxy to fight and destroy Russia. Russia and the rest of the world clearly see this now.

Russia has survived the economic sanctions war and has also defeated Ukraine/NATO militarily. They have no incentive to now join the EU. They have found new markets for their oil/gas/resources. Russia has proven that it can survive without the EU. It is now up to the EU to survive without Russia.

When the EU and NATO are brought to their knees Russia might then consider negotiating. Remember the document sent to the US, NATO and the EU in December 2021 about its security concerns before the SMO began. The US/NATO/EU refused to discuss them with Russia at that time.

However, from the standpoint of Russian elites the war in Ukraine has tilted decisively in Moscow’s favor now that Kiev has largely exhausted its human and material reserves for waging war. These elites have no interest whatsoever in a Korea-like solution, in a ‘frozen conflict’ that could be warmed up again at some time in the future when Washington so decides. No, they will not sit down at a negotiating table until and unless Kiev capitulates and accepts what amounts to neutrality and removal of the neo-Nazi directed Zelensky regime. Moscow is ready to fight on ‘as long as it takes’ to achieve its objectives.

Is it any wonder that the U.S. armed forces can’t meet recruitment goals? They break you body and soul and then kick you to the curb so they don’t have to pay for ongoing medical care.

Instead, in case after case, the military treated the crews’ combat injuries as routine psychiatric disorders, if they treated them at all. Troops were told they had attention deficit disorder or depression. Many were given potent psychotropic drugs that made it hard to function and failed to provide much relief.

Others who started acting strangely after the deployments were simply dismissed as problems, punished for misconduct and forced out of the military in punitive ways that cut them off from the veterans’ health care benefits that they now desperately need.

The United States had made a strategic decision to avoid sending large numbers of ground troops to fight the Islamic State, and instead relied on airstrikes and a handful of powerful artillery batteries to, as one retired general said at the time, “pound the bejesus out of them.” The strategy worked: Islamic State positions were all but eradicated, and hardly any American troops were killed.

But it meant that a small number of troops had to fire tens of thousands of high-explosive shells — far more rounds per crew member, experts say, than any American artillery battery had fired at least since the Vietnam War.

Military guidelines say that firing all those rounds is safe. What happened to the crews suggests that those guidelines were wrong.

The cannon blasts were strong enough to hurl a 100-pound round 15 miles, and each unleashed a shock wave that shot through the crew members’ bodies, vibrating bone, punching lungs and hearts, and whipping at cruise-missile speeds through the most delicate organ of all, the brain.

Comments with a different perspective from Larry’s:

There are lots of reports/rumours that foreign mercenaries in Ukraine are placed in barrier squads to kill meat trying to escape the grid. Thats exactly is what happens here – only that the meat fires back.

*

Saw this on a TV channel that also reported on this video:

“Reports that English-speaking mercs part of “barrier detachments”, set further back from front line to stop cannon fodder Ukrainians from making break for it.”

If true, then “breakdown in ‘good order and discipline'” is quite the euphemism.

If these ones that were shot were there to keep the Ukrainians from escaping certain death or dismemberment, then they deserved death. As do any UAF personnel that kidnap citizens off the street to conscript them to certain death or dismemberment. How is that different from the Nazis taking the Jews from the ghetto and putting them on trains to concentration camps?

If I were conscripted I would rather shoot someone like this, including if/when they weren’t expecting it, and escape with my life rather than get ground up or killed fighting some rich man’s war/racket. Accuse me of not having good order and discipline all you want.

This is not a criticism of Larry’s comments but rather commentary on people by the hundreds of thousands being forcibly conscripted to fight and die in someone else’s quarrel.

Some pretty disturbing images coming out of Ukraine. A video appeared on Telegram today (Sunday) that shows two English speakers (they sound American) coming out of a bunker and trying to persuade two retreating Ukrainian soldiers to return to their lines. The Ukrainians execute the English speaking soldiers.

I’m sure that recruitment wouldn’t be such a problem if the U.S. Coast Guard wasn’t being deployed to “guard" foreign coasts in the Persian Gulf.

Well at least Bobby Junior is showing us his true colors. He’s as 'true blue' as it comes. The only thing holding the unDemocratic Party from fully supporting him is his anti-vaxx position. Want to bet that he’ll start moderating his anti-vaxx position soon??

One way to increase interest in serving in the U.S. Coast Guard would be to have the U.S. Coast Guard guard the U.S. coast instead of “guarding" the Persian Gulf coast!!

The son of my acquaintances is in the U.S. Coast Guard and at least one of his missions was in the Persian Gulf!!

How does that protect the U.S. coast??

Yes, this is what I have to do almost every time.

I heard that.

I was worried that the same was happening on Saidit because my first attempt to post this received a 403 error. Then on second attempt it posted.

I am continuing to hammer on the theme that Israel’s indiscriminate attacks in Gaza, while being praised or tolerated in the West, is having the opposite effect in the rest of the world. The bombing and strafing of Palestinian civilians at hospitals and schools is fueling a deepening outrage outside of the West and turning many nations that had reasonably strong relations with Israel against it. I noted in a previous post that Chile, Colombia and Bolivia have recalled their ambassadors, which is a de facto break in relations. We can now add to that list Bahrain and Honduras.

There is a growing consensus in the Middle East, Africa, South America and Asia that Israel is committing war crimes. Israel, if it hopes to survive, cannot do so by alienating nations that is has counted as friends. Turkey is the most alarming. It maintained close ties with Israel even during the 2006 invasion of Souther Lebanon. Not now. That relationship is broken. It remains to be seen if Turkey’s Erdogan will match his fiery anti-Israel rhetoric with concrete action, such as cutting off oil.

An amusing example of this is the story about how NASA spent a fortune on producing a pen which could write in space without gravity, upside down ( even made a Seinfeld episode ) while the Russian astronauts just used a pencil. ;-D

We know how that worked out, NASA ended up depending on Russia to transport their astronauts back and forth to the ISS.

There is a suspicion that Zaluzhny bit the dust in one of Russia’s massive missile attacks and that this is Zaluzhny 2.0 whom the US resurrected back to life. The valiant war hero destined to lead rump Ukraine to glory and to continue to foment hostility toward Russia.

Two women have been charged with terrorism offences after allegedly displaying pro-Hamas imagery at a London demonstration, police said on Friday, as they warned about possible radicalisation as a result of the Israel-Gaza conflict.

There have been growing tensions in Britain and elsewhere since a deadly Hamas attack on Israel last month and Israel's retaliation on Gaza, with tens of thousands of protesters taking part in pro-Palestinian marches demanding the British government call for a ceasefire.

The women allegedly wore stickers with images of paragliders at a protest in London Oct. 14. They were charged under the Terrorism Act and are due to appear at London's Westminster Magistrates' Court Nov. 10.

What I’m thinking is that the poll results would be even more against NATO if the pollster didn’t have such an obvious anti Russia/Putin slant.

I’ve seen water fountains designed to appeal to children and that one doesn’t cut it.😊

These water fountains appeal to children as the photos clearly show.

They should be exiled to Vienna and only be allowed to look at that monstrosity. Not be allowed to see any other of Vienna’s art and beauty.
