Quote:Is Russia prepared for the most anticipated public health crisis in WHO-history?

Yes, according to Russia’s Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing (Rospotrebnadzor).

In a March 9 press release (archived version here for those who can’t access Russian government websites due to Internet Sanctions), the agency announced that Russia’s “preparedness for new viruses” was at “a high level”. Let’s deconstruct this wall of public health word salad together:

Quote:Russian specialists are developing new vaccines and testing systems. Rospotrebnadzor employees work with representatives of other countries to quickly identify emerging threats and respond to them in a timely manner.

The opening line of the press release is “don’t worry, we’re creating new genetic slurries and not-fit-for-purpose tests”, followed by an artfully crafted sentence that translates to: “Yes, we are still working very closely with the WHO”. Nice.

Quote:Every year, “Disease X” is discussed by the scientific community at well-known forums, congresses and conferences. Thus, on the sidelines of the second session of the National People’s Congress of China, experts discussed the risks of the global spread of a new potentially unknown disease — “Disease X”.

Did you know that the head of China’s CDC recently said that “accelerating global climate change” and “expanding human activities” are increasing the likelihood of a Disease X Global Murder-Plague? Here is an article from TASS:

BRICS will fix this (source: tass.ru)

If Disease X is exclusively a Western Davos Pfizer scam, why is China warning that this hypothetical pox will ravage the globe unless we reverse “climate change” and put an end to “expanding human activities”? Curious minds want to know.

Returning to the press release: Rospotrebnadzor is basically saying, “Look, we’ve been discussing Disease X with our esteemed international colleagues for a long time. Everything is under control. As we already mentioned, new injections and nose-swabs are in development. We got this.”

Quote:This topic [Disease X] regularly appears in the information space and is beneficial to large pharmaceutical companies, including due to the memory of the coronavirus pandemic.

On the one hand, Rospotrebnadzor is upset that Big Pharma is hyping the hypothetical terrors of Disease X, even though Beijing has reassured everyone that a pandemic can be avoided if we tax carbon. On the other hand, Rospotrebnadzor’s antidote against this terrifying and extremely hypothetical disease is the same as Western Big Pharma’s cure-all (not-fit-for-purpose PCR tests and dangerous genetic slurries). Confused? Don’t be. It’s 2024, my friend.

It’s nice that Rospotrebnadzor doesn’t like pharmaceutical companies creating needless panic among the masses, but naturally one has to ask how this opinion affects policy. It certainly didn’t stop the Russian government from collaborating with AstraZeneca on “Covid vaccines”, and it definitely didn’t stop Russia’s Health Ministry from handing out Remdesivir like candy.

If the Russian government is serious about putting an end to Imaginary Pandemic Panic, I would recommend starting with Russian state media, which publishes frightening Disease X stories that read as if they were copy-pasted from the WEF’s website:

source: tass.ru

Here’s the final two paragraphs of the TASS think piece cited above:

What countermeasures [against Disease X] have already been implemented?

WHO and partners have established a fund to combat the pandemic. Some countries have already taken advantage of this initiative to improve their domestic epidemiological situation. In addition, work is underway to improve systems tools that can help prevent an international health crisis. Thus, in Africa, a technology transfer center for creating vaccines was organized so that local manufacturers could create medicine for the population on their own. WHO has also created a system for the rapid and effective exchange of existing biological materials that could cause a new pandemic or epidemic. The necessary data can be quickly shared with all countries to develop medical countermeasures and reduce mortality.

According to Ghebreyesus, the most important thing is the international exchange of experience within the framework of the agreement to combat the pandemic. Thanks to this, the experience of each country will be available to the world community to more effectively overcome the crisis.

Vaxxing Africa: check. Sharing “biological materials” with Russia’s trusted Western partners: check. Shilling for the WHO’s Pandemic Preparedness Treaty: check. Everything checks out.

Back to the Rospotrebnadzor press release:

Quote:Today in Russia, readiness for new infectious challenges is at a high level. The “Sanitary Shield” anti-infection system is in operation, a network of PCR centers is being developed, and fast, high-tech domestic test systems have been developed. At checkpoints across the state border there is sanitary and quarantine control, as well as AIS “Perimeter”.

There you have it. A “network of PCR centers” is being created so that Russia can immediately resume mass-swabbing when the next Virus arrives.

This blog has already covered the Sanitary Shield program in great detail, but here’s the one-sentence recap: Russia is creating an Iron Curtain of PCR test centers and genetic vaccine dispensaries that will be used to ensure Biosecurity.

You can read more about this program here and here.

Meanwhile, the “Perimeter” system ensures that every traveler will be viewed as a potential biohazard. Rospotrebnadzor’s website explains:

Quote:AIS “Perimeter” assesses the risks of importing infectious diseases on each flight, as well as provide methodological assistance in the event of epidemiological threats. Registration forms filled out in the Perimeter AIS allow for monitoring and analysis of the sanitary and epidemiological situation at checkpoints across the state border of the Russian Federation.

Are you excited for checkpoints where your Health is registered and monitored?

Back to the press release, which ends with:

Quote:The term “Disease X” has been around for many years. The definition implies an abstract disease caused by an unknown pathogen, and the timing of its appearance is unknown.

Rospotrebnadzor is a bit peeved by all the sensationalism. Russia has the PCR tests. Russia has the vaccines. And the term Disease X has been around for years. Just relax.

Quote:THAT TAURUS GERMAN CRUISE MISSILE STORY…

March 20, 2024 / Joseph P. Farrell

If you've been following that Taurus German cruise missile story, then brace yourself, because it's taken yet another very strange turn... strange, that is, only if you're not following my hypothesis that there has been in existence, since the end of World War Two, a non-territorial-non-state actor that I've called at various times "the Nazi International" or "the Fascist International," composed of post-war Nazis and Fascists that penetrated key postwar defense corporations and other infrastructure in the postwar western world, bent on owning and ruling the world. Think of der Hochklaus Freiherr von Blohschwabb und Bloviation here:




And lest you think I'm exaggerating, just remember that Der Hochklaus' father was a Wehrmacht general, and that der Hochklaus himself had connections to the German firm of Degussa, a firm connected to the wartime Nazi, and postwar West German-SouthAfrican "nuclear cooperation." If that does not succeed in rattling your nerves just a bit, then maybe reminding you that the first postwar chancellor of West Germany, Konrad Adenauer, viewed nuclear weapons as "just another form of artillery," and we know how much some Germans love their artillery:



Just in case you're not current with the German Taurus cruise missile story - because I've not blogged about it before now - in the past couple of weeks a recording of two German Luftwaffe generals surfaced, in which said generals were plotting to send some German Taurus cruise missiles to the Ukraine, which missiles in turn were to be used to knock down the Russian bridge over the Kerch strait, connecting the Crimean peninsula to mainland Russia to the east. The bridge is the main - and only - overland supply route to the Crimean peninsula, and thus a key and crucial infrastructure component allowing Russia to resupply the province without having to transport supplies by sea or air.   If you don't know what the Taurus cruise missile is, it is a joint German-Swedish "ground-hugging" cruise missile, designed to hug the ground and fitted with a conventional "bunker-busting" warhead, with a range of about 250-270 miles. It is air-launched, and, I strongly suspect even though it is not acknowledged, that the missile is probably capable of carrying a variable yield nuclear warhead. Any such supply would doubtless have to have German military and technical advisors on hand to be able to allow what's left of the Ukrainian military to operate the system.

The story gained such traction that Bundeskanzler Scholz recently had to go on German television in order to quell the (understandable) outcry from Germans that sending cruise missiles to the Ukraine, particularly one like the Taurus, was a fools' errand, especially since the target of such a venture, Russia, also had such weapons. Scholz managed to quiet the storm a bit with what amounted to a very firm "Ausgeschlossen!" to the idea.

But now the whole story has busted loose again, and it's a whopper doozie for the questions it is prompting according to this story shared by L.G.L.R. (with our thanks):


NEW EVIDENCE THE GERMAN TAURUS ATTACK PLAN WAS LEAKED BY THE US AIR FORCE

Now, here's the story from that article in a nutshell (though I urge the reader to read the whole thing):

Quote:A little bird has materialized to sing that the record of the German generals discussing their plan to attack Russian targets with the Taurus missile was intercepted and leaked to the Russians by the Americans.

A big bird, actually. The telephone conference of German Luftwaffe chief General Ingo Gerhartz (lead image, left), one of his staff generals,  and two Luftwaffe lieutenant-colonels on February 19 was listened to by US signals intelligence after the first meeting the Germans had with a new regional US Air Force (USAF) commander, General Kevin Schneider;  Schneider took command of the USAF Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) on February 9 after two and a half years in a senior staff post at the Pentagon under General Charles Brown Jr. Brown was promoted from USAF chief to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs on October 1, 2023.  When Schneider left Brown’s staff, he took a promotion from lieutenant general to four-star general.

Schneider has never flown or staffed USAF operations against Russia. He was in Singapore for the bi-annual Singapore Air Show to demonstrate what the USAF press office called “the opportunity to sharpen ties with Singapore, demonstrate flexible aircraft capability, enable engagement with foreign partners, and expand power projection.”  His agenda of meetings with other country airforce officers is classified.

Intelligence coverage of the airshow proceedings by the US, Russia, and China was especially intense because of the participation in the show of aircraft from the warfighting states.  Russia, which has participated actively in past Singapore airshows, did not participate officially this time.

The allegation that the Gerhartz teleconference was intercepted by the Russians originated from the Germans and British, and has been amplified in US and NATO media. The first Russian report that it was US intelligence which picked up the call and then leaked it, appeared in Moscow on March 4; click to read.

So in other words, it was American intelligence that alerted the Russians that there was a plot by some German generals to launch cruise missiles against the Kerch Straits bridges. "But wait a minute," you might be thinking. "Why would German generals be talking with American generals about a cruise missile strike before talking with their own government about it first?" If you're asking yourself that question, then you can join the club, because so are a lot of Germans, who are wondering just who the German military really reports to.

In respect to that last point, Pepe Escobar is wondering the same thing according to this article also shared by L.G.L.R.:


The German-American Strategic Depth Clown Show

In case you missed it, here's what Mr. Escobar actually has the guts to notice and mention:

Quote:A key point is that during the plotting, these two mention that plans were already discussed “four months ago” with “Schneider”, the successor of “Wilsbach”.


Well, these are German names, of course. Thus it did not dawn on anyone that (Kevin) Schneider and (Kenneth) Wilsbach could instead be… Americans.

Yet that did raise the eyebrows of German investigative journalist Dirk Pohlmann – who I had the pleasure to meet in Berlin years ago – and his fellow researcher Tobias Augenbraun.

They found out that the German-sounding names did identify Americans. Not only that: none less than the former and the current Commanders of the U.S. Pacific Air Forces.

The Four (actually Six) Stooges element gets an extra boost when it is established that Liver Sausage Chancellor Scholz and his Totalenkrieg Minister Pistorius learned about the Taurus plan no less than four months later.

So here apparently we have a clear cut case of top German military officers taking direct orders regarding an attack on Crimea – part of the Russian Federation – directly from American officers in the Pacific Air Forces.

That in itself opens the dossier to a large spectrum ranging from national treason (against Germany) to casus belli (from the point of view of Russia).  (Italicized emphasis added)

Now, beyond the insanity of the Empire of Chaos not only using the Ukraine in its insane proxy war against Russia, and now trying to involve Germany in the effort, I have a high octane speculation to run past you:

What if we're looking at yet another feature or faction within what I've been calling "the Nazi International?" What if the presence of "German-sounding names" on both the American and German sides of this strange story is not accidental? We're all familiar with the strange role and influence of (thankfully) now-departed Victoria Nuland in the U.S. State Department over the whole sad Ukrainian saga.  We know too of Mad Madam Merkel's admission that the whole episode of the Minsk accords was simply to give the Ukraine time to prepare its military. Now, in spite of the US signals intelligence leak to Russia of the Taurus story, we have German generals appearing to answer directly to the American chain of command, which - let us be honest - appears to be answering to no one in the publicly known chain of command. Bai Den Dzhao? a non-entity whom even his own Department of Justice refuses to prosecute for egregious breeches of law because of his well-known incompetence and probable inability in his demented state to be able to stand trial. Whatever orders the American generals are passing along to their German counterparts would thus appear not to originate within that chain of command. Was Lloyd Austin in the hospital that day? Who's really in charge? For some Germans, the whole episode is bound to resurrect the theory of the Kanzlerakte, the "secret protocol" that supposedly postwar German chancellors are alleged to swear to take orders from Washington, because Germany, so the theory goes, is no longer legally sovereign.

In short, throughout this whole increasingly bizarre story might we be looking at yet more footprints of that postwar Nazi International? Footprints we were never intended to discover?

I do not know, but again, I am reminded like I was in last Monday's blog of the words of Russian economist Sergei Glazyev after the Maidan coup in the Ukraine: "Our problem isn't the Nazis in Kiev; it's the Nazis in Washington." As I've pointed out many times before when citing these words, Glazyev was not joking when he wrote those words nor was he resorting to a bit of rhetorical hyperbole and exaggeration. He was absolutely serious.

Would our Fascist-inclinced billionaire busybody class really be that insane? Yes they would. After all, Baal Gates wants to spray the atmosphere to dim the sun because of "climate change."

So, yes, maybe it's time for us to take Mr. Glazyev's words seriously.

SPECTRE exists. The Nazi International exists. The World Economic Forum exists. They really do want to reduce the world population to a mere fraction of its current population. They really do want to dim the sun. They really are capable of such insanity as starting a nuclear war.

I just walked into the house and heard my Mother speaking to my brother. I have five brothers and I knew immediately which brother it was.

Everyone swears they can't tell the difference between my Mom ad her five daughters. Everyone says that all us girls sound the same, and that all the boys sound the same.

That is odd to me because I think we all have very distinctly different voices, and we all are very easily recognizable, even when they are trying to disguise their voices, which they do all the time. It never works.

Anyway, today it just made me think about how easily we can recognize the voices of those we know. So I looked it up and found this article.

Quote:We Can Identify A Friend's Voice After Hearing Just Two Words
Humans are smarter than machines when it comes to voice recognition.

Quote:In a new study, which was presented at the International Congress of Phonetic Sciences in Glasgow in August, linguists from the University of Montreal in Quebec found that more than 99 percent of the time, two words are enough for a person of normal hearing to distinguish the voice of a close friend or relative among other voices.

Well written story IMO

Quote:Mitch Herron thought he had left America and its shadows far behind. A master of evasion and lethal skills, Herron had vanished into the global underbelly, distancing himself from a homeland where he was both hunter and hunted. Yet, after narrowly escaping death in the neon-drenched alleys of Hong Kong, he discovers that America's reach is long—and it's pulling him back in. In a world teetering on the edge of chaos, where shadows wage unseen wars, the American government presents Herron with an ultimatum he can't refuse. The price of his freedom? One final mission—rescue a pivotal intelligence operative whose fate could tilt the balance of global power. Failure is not an option. If Herron fails, not only will he lose any chance of a life beyond the crosshairs, but America will also lose a crucial asset in the geopolitical chess game, leaving a key ally exposed to voracious predators. Drawn back into the covert world he sought to escape, Herron must navigate the murky waters of international espionage, where friends are indistinguishable from foes, and every step could be a trap. The man who became a ghost to live must now confront his past to safeguard the future.

Quote:This is the US Coast Guard daring interception of a narco submarine in the middle of the open ocean a few hundred miles off the coasts of Colombia. In the year 2019 The sub was transporting 17,000 pounds of illegal narcotics through the eastern Pacific on its way north to Mexico and the US. counterterrorism experts have been sounding the alarm for years that these subs could be used to transport more than just party drugs, they could just as easily smuggle firearms, explosives, or weapons of mass destruction. Written by: Chris Cappy & Diego Aceituno Edited by: Savvy Studios You might be surprised to learn maritime smuggling accounts for roughly 80% of the total illicit flow from South America into Mexico prior to entry into the US. The DEA estimates 30% of that is transported by narco submarines. And considering only around 10% are caught, that means over $9 billion dollars worth of illegal narcotics reach US shores from just this method alone. That’s why It’s important we understand the full extent of their capabilities and intent. A lot of people who first saw this viral video mistakenly thought these troops were NAVY SEALS. In reality this the Coast Guards elite unit called PACTACLET which stands for Pacific Tactical Law Enforcement Team. Based out of San Diego, they specializes in high risk, non-compliant boardings and deploy worldwide as elite 8 to 10 man Law Enforcement Detachments or LEDETs.

As the title says the left is pulling out all their lies and innuendo to do everything to influence the weak minded during this election season.

Well, this sums it up pretty nicely in under 2 minutes

That's a lot of loot, assuming it is down there.

Quote:Since the Colombian navy discovered the final resting place of the Spanish galleon San José in 2015, its location has remained a state secret, the wreck – and its precious cargo – left deep under the waters of the Caribbean.

Efforts to conserve the ship and recover its precious cargo have been caught up in a complicated string of international legal disputes, with Colombia, Spain, Bolivian Indigenous groups and a US salvage company laying claim to the wreck, and the gold, silver and emeralds onboard thought to be worth as much as $17bn.

When Colombia tried to auction off part of the bounty to fund the colossal costs of recovering the ship, Unesco and the country’s high courts intervened.

But eight years after the discovery, officials now say they are pushing politics to one side and could begin lifting artefacts from the “holy grail of shipwrecks” as soon as April.

“There has been this persistent view of the galleon as a treasure trove. We want to turn the page on that,” Alhena Caicedo, director of the Colombian Institute of Anthropology and History, said. “We aren’t thinking about treasure. We’re thinking about how to access the historical and archeological information at the site.”



The San José was returning to Europe with treasures to help fund the war of the Spanish succession when it was sunk by a British squadron in 1708, close to the Caribbean port city of Cartagena.

Historians say the wreck could help reveal much about the Spanish empire at the height of its power – and the shared, overlapping histories of Europe and Latin America.

Eventually, Caicedo’s team hopes to raise the wreck itself, and put it on display in a custom-built museum where visitors will be able to explore “all the secrets of the bottom of the ocean”, she said.

But as the expedition continues to explore the site, the scale and complexity of the challenge is coming into focus.

Few ships like the San José have ever been recovered – and none has ever been salvaged from warm tropical waters.

“This is a huge challenge and it is not a project that has a lot of precedents. In a way, we are pioneers,” said Caicedo.

The closest comparison would probably be to the Mary Rose, the flagship of Henry VIII’s fleet, which sank in 1545 while in battle with the French fleet off the coast of Portsmouth.

That 16th-century wreckage was explored by hundreds of divers – many of whom were volunteers – for a decade before being carefully lifted in 1981. The surviving section of the ship’s hull is now on display in a £35m ($45m) museum.

Colombia’s navy has been studying the Mary Rose and other such marine conservation projects to see how it could lift and conserve the 40-metre-long ship and its contents without it all crumbling to dust.

“The San José is a very, very special ship. It’s comparable to the Mary Rose in that it was in action at the peak of Spanish technology and shipbuilding,” said Ann Coats, associate professor in maritime heritage at the University of Portsmouth.

“There are so many questions the San José could help answer!”

The San José’s cargo includes articles of glass, porcelain and leather, and historians hope the haul could inform their understanding of global 18th-century trade networks, Spain’s complex colonial hierarchy and the lives of the 600 souls onboard.

But while the Mary Rose lay in frigid coastal waters, the San José sank in deep, tropical waters which will probably have been cruel to the ship and could make the recovery one of the most costly and complex in history.

“The contents are really varied and we have no idea how the remains will react when they come into contact with oxygen. We don’t even know if it is possible to raise something out of the water,” said Caicedo.

The wreck’s precise location is a state secret to protect the site from looters, but Colombian authorities have revealed that it is 600 metres (2,000ft) below sea level – too far for divers to reach.

The country’s military is currently developing underwater robots that will first photograph, video and map the wreckage before carefully attempting any retrieval.

Exactly how much can be salvaged from the wreck will depend on myriad factors: currents, sea temperature, the type of silt the wreck is submerged in, how the ship’s 60 bronze cannons plunged to the seabed, and even which critters are now living there, says the head of the Mary Rose’s research program, Alex Hildred.

“It was also set on fire,” Hildred says. “Lifting the ship and creating a museum will be really difficult, really expensive and incredibly challenging … And then everyone wants a bit of it. It’s just a nightmare.”

The vessel’s international connections mean that historical research has until now been halted by international litigation over who is its rightful owner.

Although the wreck was found in Colombian waters, Spain has argued that the San José was part of the Spanish fleet and was returning from what was then part of the Spanish empire.

Meanwhile, Sea Search Armada (SSA), a US-based salvage company, has been locked in a legal battle with Colombia, arguing that it located the area in which the San José sank in 1981. SSA has argued that Colombia agreed to split any profits, but in 2011 a US court declared the galleon the property of the Colombian state.

Indigenous communities in Bolivia have also voiced a claim to any possible riches, arguing that their ancestors are likely to have mined the silver and gold used in many of the treasures.

The Colombian ministry of culture says the government has self-funded the first stage of exploration with $7.3m and it will not sell any of the precious artefacts as Unesco pleaded in 2018.

“Money has always driven the story of the San José. The British wanted to capture it to deny money to Spain, then the money onboard drove the archaeological search for the wreck,” said Coats. “Then disputes got in the way of studying the ship. It would be nice if for once money wasn’t driving things and a huge cultural collaboration could take place to study it properly.”

This article was amended on 18 March 2024. The Mary Rose was in the navy of Henry VIII, not “Henry XIII”. Also, it was likely to have been sunk by its instability during combat, rather than as a direct result of French fire, as an earlier version suggested.

Quote:AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE

 A gorgeous young redhead goes into the doctor's 
office and said that her body hurt wherever she touched it.

“Impossible!” says the doctor.  “Show me.”

The redhead took her finger, pushed on her left shoulder and screamed, she pushed her 
elbow and screamed even 
more.  She pushed her knee and screamed; 
likewise she pushed her ankle and screamed.

Everywhere she touched made her scream.

The doctor said, “You're not really a redhead, are you?”

“Well, no,” she said, “I'm actually a blonde.”

“I thought so,” the doctor said, “Your finger is broken.”

BLONDE ON TIME

A girl was visiting her blonde friend, who had acquired two new dogs, and asked
her what their names were.

The blonde responded by saying that one was named “Rolex” and one was named “Timex”.

Her friend said, “Whoever heard of someone naming dogs like that?”

   “Helllooooo...! ,” answered the blonde.  “They're watchdogs.”
