So which is it? Brietbart says the funding resolution passed with no Ukrainian aid, TGP

says that McCarthy cut a side deal with Schumer and McConnell to provide more money for the endless Ukrainian war.

Anyone have any insights?

Well, according to Breitbart, Big Kev has just "rolled" the Deep State with his fancy moves....

This seems to be a losing political move--the public is slowly but surely souring on the Ukraine project as surely as economic prospects sour. So who's giving Kev his directions?

His donors, the MIC.

Indeed. Using drug money to fund deep state ops--who woulda thunk it? No wonder I linked it.

It's hard for me to tell who wants this war w/Russia more - UK or US?

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/09/30/grant-shapps-to-send-uk-troops-to-ukraine/

Of course, Sunak attempted a walk back as soon as Shapps' comments hit the airwaves.

UK intelligence is just as dirty, if not more so, in the annointing of our resident in the WH. Not only does CIA need to be chopped, our relations w/MI6 need to be put under a new, transparent & strict 'rules based order.'

The Guardian:

With over 98% of districts reporting, Smer is set to take 23.37% of the vote. Michal Šimečka’s Progressive Slovakia came second with 16.86%, followed closely by Peter Pellegrini’s Hlas with 15.03%.

The election’s outcome is likely to further fuel fears about Slovakia’s future foreign policy orientation. Fico has vowed to stop military aid to Ukraine, criticised sanctions targeting Russia and campaigned against LGBTQ+ rights. His rhetoric has raised concerns that Bratislava could join Viktor Orbán’s Hungary as a more Russia-friendly voice within the EU and NATO.

...

Still, the shape of Slovakia’s next government remains unclear and much will depend on complex coalition-building with smaller parties, including Hlas and Igor Matovič’s OĽaNO.

Don't forget the spate of forcible rapes by migrants on Swedish and German women and girls on New Year's Eve a few years ago. Haven't heard whether that's an ongoing issue.

It is. There was an interesting story this past week about a 14 yr. old Swedish girl who enlisted 3 young men and they hanged her rapist.

That's an interesting inflection point for both Europe and America. When the government and law enforcers don't do their jobs, when do ordinary people step in? There are a lot of places where the normies are getting seriously angry about the deliberate refusal to enforce the laws.

If the globalists' aim was depopulation, they aren't doing very well. Millions of people being added to Russia, a nation that stands for everything the WEF hates.

Unfortunately, Russia pushes the clot shots and digital IDs, so not totally anti-WEF. Check out Edward Slavsquat's Substack; he's an American journalist living in Russia.

I'd heard that Russia developed its own Covid vaccine which was not mandatory. Guess I'll have to look & see what Slavsquat says as time permits.

I thought at the time, from Putin's extremely fast reaction, that he must have had suspicions of a bioweapon. That was before I knew about the biolabs in Ukraine. But Putin knew.

Yes, that is true, Claudia. No-one is completely blameless where the jab is concerned.

Smer ahead with 90% of precincts counted

Populist former prime minister Robert Fico’s Smer party has garnered over 23% of the vote, far ahead of its rival Progressive Slovakia, according to early results.

With nearly 92% of precincts counted, Progressive Slovakia is at 15.84% and Hlas at 15.39.

Nevertheless, counting continues, including in Bratislava, where Progressive Slovakia is leading.

The Slovaks need to get on the ball here. Where's the drop boxes, suitcases under the counting tables, three week counts? Uncivilised brutes!

A lot like Chicago. Complete with the increasing busloads of migrants. I’m hearing that just in time for the 2024 Democrat Party Convention next summer, migrant gangs will be battling for their own turf in the welcoming city. Gonna be fun times with mayor Brandon in charge. Buckle up.

Wait till those Dem convention goers travel down the Kennedy xpwy and see the construction projects underway all the while cursing under there breath with migrants looking for handouts at each entrance/exit ramp. LOL.

Didn't the people of Chicago mostly vote for open borders? Seems only fair that they should be able to welcome the illegals they voted for.

The neocons will definitely escalate. The question is where. I was listening to the Duran boys yesterday and their take is that for the US neocons at least, Ukraine is now a political problem that has to be dealt with accordingly, rather than a military one. That means blaming it on Biden, getting rid of him, and therefore (they hope) sweeping the whole Ukraine thing under the carpet. Then, again according to the Alexes, the neocons can move on to their REAL target before US military influence is too degrade: China. As for the Brits, I fully expect them to carry digging themselves deeper into the Ukraine cesspit for a long time to go. We are a mighty empire after all and have to show those blasted Russkies who's the boss!

Cass you've shared your wisdom as a former corporate lawyer many times in the past and I hope you will continue to do so. I enjoy your perspectives.

It’s hard to imagine today’s woke army actually fighting. Having been a real soldier what I see today is sickening. Many will be killed quickly if they are sent into action.

I read today that the Royal Navy in which I served is now celebrating Transgender perversion and telling sailors to express their pronouns. My son was also in but got out just in time a few years ago. The only up side of all this is, as you say, JK, that Woke armies have no chance of beating real opponents.

Yep. It's hard to enforce pronouns in the middle of a firefight.

While there are undoubtedly competent elements in the US military, as a whole it appears to have been transformed into a social experiment first and foremost. Not good for war fighting.

The Trudeau Nazi incident was a massive PR blow to the West. Up till then, it was easy to blame the Nazi-Ukraine connection on conspiracy theorists' misinformation. Now, that's going to be a bit tougher.
