A cache of Russiagate documents President Donald Trump wanted released during his final days in office contained never-before-seen text messages between ex-FBI special agent Peter Strzok and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page disparaging Trump, according to a new report.

I have written here several times, if you present a spike protein on the surface of your own cell, right next to cell-surface proteins, there is a heightened chance your immune system will see that and you will teach your immune system your own cells are a part of something foreign that needs to be attacked. Now comes a paper which shows, 20% of vaccine recipients who were negative for autoimmune antibodies became positive within 12 months of vaccination and those who were already positive showed increased antibody levels. This fits with the mechanism. and if this spike concentrates in the ovaries and testes, like in rats, that autoimmunity will be to your own reproductive system. And the real question is, how long do you produce the spike protein for?

Anons on 4Chan found something interesting. Throughout Texas, there are “Aquariums” in small towns, all of which have names that consist of two letters, followed by “Aquarium,” like “EH Aquarium.” But the aquariums when searched on Google do not pop up a business page, and the pins on the map disappear. There are reviews for the aquariums which are reminiscent of those old weird pizza-place reviews which seemed to be talking about something other than pizza. If you search the actual street addresses, they put a pin in the middle of the street in isolated neighborhoods. There is one of the earlier threads here. Another thread popped up today, and I jumped in with a couple of quick surveillance analyses of two places(those places are blanketed, Ed Buck style), and they then bumped the thread off /pol to /bant. I think somebody in Cabal may have even offered me an Asian girl in code to shut up down in the thread. I am not sure if it was a temporary thing, or if she was going to be a more permanent sidekick type of thing, like Chewbacca was to Han Solo for saving his life. Shortly thereafter, the thread was nuked. But they are definitely on to something that somebody was hiding in plain sight.

Zelensky warns of ‘nastier’ phase of war as Russia says Dugin car bombing was a ‘contract killing.’ I have said I can look at Google streetview, and see that Russia does not have the type of ground surveillance you see blanket entire regions in the United States, and the western world. Somebody left me a message saying a friend under this in the US moved to Russia, and it took six months to see that pervasive feeling of being watched and followed by some hostile entity wear off, but it did. And they could not see any surveillance ever bother with them. Notice you could not do a car bomb like this in the US. If you were about to bomb any semi-political figure, from Peter Strzok, to Ed Buck (before he was locked up), the surveillance would see you coming a mile away, and you would never get near planting a bomb, and you would certainly never kill anyone. Dugin was out and about, and he had no followers, because if he did they would have been sitting on his car, and nobody would have gotten near it. I find that just insane. At this point I cannot imagine that level of freedom.

Aftermath of the blast is here, and I have to wonder if this was being filmed by Ukrainian surveillance support for the hit, sent in to document the aftermath.

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova said on Sunday that if any Ukrainian trace in the murder of journalist and political analyst Darya Dugina is confirmed by competent authorities, then Kiev will be held on charges of implementing a policy of state terrorism.

Both parties then are engaged in fraud and are denying the people the right to vote for their preferred persons who would advance the people’s interests. The principle of one man one vote becomes a mockery. The parties do not represent the interest of the American voters. Voting is a form of petitioning the government.
——-
Nothing restricts the parties which are corporations – private businesses – from allowing non-citizens to vote; and nothing restricts the parties from being foreign owned. Nothing restricts the board of trustees of USA, Inc. from hiring a foreign CEO – Chairman Xi, anyone? Corporations do this all the time.
————
Once enough people realize even the government is a corporation which can be owned by other corporations and foreign governments – Vatican anyone, IMF anyone; then….
————
The states are also corporations.
———–
When was this all put to vote? This being revealed what have we the people to do with these corporations put in place of the Law of the Land without our consent?
————
What is treason? It is only a person deciding to do business with another corporation: can Macy’s charge me with treason if I decide to do business with Sears even though I have been a long-term Macy’s customer? Am I a traitor to North Carolina if I decide to business with – Heaven forbid! – New Jersey?

It is reported that the Governor General had/has the power to declare a medical national emergency. Once declared the Federal Health Minister would assume dictatorial power over all levels of Australian government and everyone in Australia.
The Health Minister is one Greg Hunt. He returned to Australia and a successful political career after a stint as a senior executive at the World Economic Forum.
The Prime Minister’s action eliminated that possibility.

>Aftermath of the blast is here, and I have to wonder if this was being filmed by Ukrainian surveillance support for the hit, sent in to document the aftermath.
Yesterday I was wondering about something. There are a lot of movies, books, shows, etc etc semi-based on true stories on some seriously sick individuals. Serial killers et al. For example, psycho is based on a guy called ed gein. I guess a lot of other media has got various levels of influence thereof as well.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Gein
The real ed gein was actually substantially worse than norman bates. But anyway, as you say cabal likes to document their handywork with pictures and videos but I was thinking/wondering how much of their fiction is loosely based on their own MK-ultra-esque windup toys. Even or especially the ones that broke and acted out in ways that couldn’t be readily covered up. Or at least made them be not very useful for the conspiracy. Ted Bundy was seemingly being primed for politics before he broke. Psycho itself is actually a pretty loose adaptation of Gein and maybe a lot of these other thrillers and gore films are also very loose adaptations of real cabal activities. Not really whole stories but particular elements, like geins obsession with his mother but not his tendency to rob graves and make leather products out of human skin. That later element did however appear in a lot of other serial killer movies like silence of the lambs and Texas Chainsaw massecre.
Needless to say, I tend to think it is not a great idea to watch much or any of these films based on sadism and gore. Its a possibility its just another way for cabal to gloat and glorify their bullshit.

The fact that cameras were on the scene so quickly and even caught her father’s distraught reaction were interesting. And while, yes, everyone has a phone these days it’s worth noting that not everyone gets these videos to major western media so quickly.

There’s definitely something odd here. Particularly how someone felt they had enough cover to approach the vehicle and install the device. It will be interesting to know if it was detonated by a timer or by a remote control.

It’s developing fast, with a fuckton of implications.
(tl;dr version of below: Ukraine screwed the pooch, went terrorist, and are dragging us and Europe with them)
Russian State Dept went public saying that if it turned out to be Ukraine, then they would be declared a terrorist state by Russia. A few hours later, FSB dropped the video receipts showing the Azov agent, a woman, entering the country in a car, following Darya (not the father) in the same vehicle with multiple plates from multiple countries, entering Darya’s building where she lived, and then fleeing to Estonia through another checkpoint after the bombing. They published the agent’s Azov military ID.
So, implications. Russia will declare Ukraine a terrorist state, most likely. The thing is, I doubt that Kiev actually ordered it, because I don’t think even our glowies are stupid enough to assassinate the daughter of a guy that Putin likes. It’s just too shitty even for us. We control Kiev, so Kiev wouldn’t order it.
So if they did, it means that we have lost control of Kiev. I think it is more likely that Kiev has lost control of Azov (what little it had, anyway.) Terrorism is part of the asymmetrical spectrum, below guerilla, which is below separatist/insurgent and full military. The purpose of terrorism is to provoke a disproportionate response. You KNOW that you will pay an inordinately heavy price for it, so it is a desperation move to rally people to your side (by ruining their lives.)
So the question is, who no longer considers themselves to even be at the guerilla level of force, much less actual state actor? Azov, considering themselves to be seperate from Kiev, is likely. They’ve been virtually wiped out by the Russians, they likely feel like Kiev left them out to hang, and now they are striking with what they have (which isn’t much.)
If it is Kiev, then Ukraine is even worse off than I thought. The grift is over, the end is near, and they are going terrorist as a last ditch effort to maybe be able to throw the Russians off in 20-30 years (ala Afghanistan.) Good luck with that. Estonia is going to feel the bus wheels as well, because whoever made this decision threw them under it. The Russians are going to tell them, “hand this person over, or we will declare you to be harboring terrorists and therefore a terrorist state as well.” I expect the border to Estonia to be closed for a while in any event, opening only after they turn over the agent or Russia feels like they have suffered long enough and learned their lesson.
If it’s us, then the world is fucked, because our leaders are too stupid to realize how the asymmetrical warfare spectrum even works. Russia will start offing our journalists and billionaires with gusto, which frankly is a blessing for the US people, but not the people running the US. Say hello to WW4 — or rather, start learning how to say hello in Russian.
Edit/update: Russian talking heads are saying that they don’t believe that this could have been done without CIA/US.mil support.
BOHICA.

I’ll explain to you why I think it’s high level western intelligence, and you tell me what you think.

The first big red flag: there was a flurry of reporting of Dugin not long ago in the western media. And it was all tremendously dishonest, setting him up as “Putin’s Brain” and really hyping him and making him seem like a frothing fascist lunatic.

Now why was any of that in the news? I’d suggest that it was about preparing the audience for his assassination. Otherwise news of it would be received like, “who is that guy?”

Secondly, Dugin is not a strategic target for Ukraine.

But he is a strategic target for the West! Notice that immediately the news media piled on with a coherent narrative of Dugin as a dangerous fascist, genocidal lunatic, architect of the invasion, Putin’s close confidant, etc., etc., It’s a real narrative of “this guy is beyond the pale.” The standard liberal commentators and bots on Twitter were all universal in the condemnation. “Monster who got what was coming for him..” etc.

In my view, Dugin’s attacks on the US and the West are really an intellectual attack on Cabal. Basically the crimes he attributes to the US are in fact cabal crimes. He writes powerful, intellectual arguments that completely undermine globalist assumptions.

I suggest to you that is why he was offed. And that points to Western intelligence agencies and possibly CIA.

Possible, but I consider it a lower probability. First, the father wasn’t the target. This was a command detonated bomb, meaning they knew he wasn’t in the car when they intentionally detonated it. Russia is portraying it like a killing of opportunity, but they could have just left the bomb in place (or retrieved and replaced it later) if they wanted to get him. There’s no evidence that they thought they were burned and had to go.
So the daughter was the target, and that just doesn’t make sense for the West. It might make sense for the cabal, but a random disappearance or a heart-attack shot is more their style. This feels like Azov.

It’s worth watching for entertainment value, but there’s an element of gatekeeping present. It features that close cousin of the false “slippery slope fallacy” about “the road to hell being paved with good intentions” instead of truth which is that they lied and always planned to pave a road straight to hell intentionally. You’ll understand what I mean if you watch it. And no, I doubt Amazon makes it available on physical media because they need to shore up Prime viewership. So if you don’t want to do that, you’re stuck with bittorrent.

Everyone in entertainment has an agent. The agent takes 15%. The really successful entertainers have managers. The managers take 15% to watch the agent. That is how Rob Lowe explains it.

A really astonishing amount of entertainers get fleeced. Three of the four Beatles, for instance, had their fortunes misappropriated. We can thank crooked management for the impetus for the Rolling Stones to be on tour constantly. Paul McCartney, quite famously, married his manager’s daughter. Then he treated her very well. Her family had an interest in keeping McCartney in lettuce. Brian Epstein is famous 70 years later for being an honest manager who only took 25%.

Music and math and physics are kind of in the same mental area, apparently. White musicians seem to have children who come up as physicists or accountants or engineers. Some musicians are physicists- Queen’s Brian May, most famously. Duff, from Guns& Roses, is about a year short of a finance or accounting degree. He runs an investment firm for musicians. Geo Harrison’s son did engineering design work with McLaren, the premium car company, before resigning himself to becoming a music producer. Lionel Richie’s children taught him business.

A musical genre quits getting promoted when the musicians hire accountants to audit their management company. David Lee Roth says the most life-changing day of his life is when his recording contract expired, some twenty years after he had been famous. He had worked as an EMT, not just for kicks, but because he needed to earn a living.

Right now, I can’t think of any famous black musicians that have children who are accountants. Their offspring seem to follow in their footsteps as entertainers, rather than back office. That’s why we have this abundance of black entertainers in media: they are getting fleeced, one way or another.

Consider, if you will, Britney Spears versus Jessica Simpson. Both put out bubble gum pop. Britney was all over the news as the best entertainment ticket, while I don’t know anyone who knows Jessica Simpson’s last album. Jessica owns her billion dollar company. She worked very hard while she was poor. She was promoted all over the place, when she was at the mercy of entertainment executives. When she freed herself, more or less, she was not promoted. Britney was promoted as very entertaining, a good ticket, up to the day she was freed from her conservatorship- someone was making money off of her. She wasn’t free.

This story just did my head in….A girl and her teenager daughter, move into the same building as a 30 year old girl – obviously talented…they presumably make friends with her – each other – much the same age – maybe slight differences in accents…but basically the same..similar to eg, me and my girlfriend moving from Manchester to London, when we were about 30, and making new friends, and going to festivals together.

I can’t imagine any “friend” moving into the house where we live, and going to a festival together, and sticking a bomb under my car seat at the festival, so that it explodes with my Dad witnessing it in the car behind.
