According to Mercouris, illusions and fantasies about the war continue to circulate about it. And there are other fantasies connected to it, primarily held by people in Europe. One of the major misconceptions about the military side of the conflict is the discussion about a war conducted between two equivalent armies. That is not the case, it might have been true in some periods of the autumn and late summer of 2022, and maybe something people could believe in 2023. But it's not the case now.Events proceed at a steadily accelerating pace - they point to a Ukrainian military collapse...

SNIPThe system was previously made particularly effective by a wide network of Western personnel - both active duty and contractors - providing support in areas from intelligence to logistics to ensure that new equipment can be operated effectively. Access to hundreds of satellites from NATO members, which can provide key targeting data on Russian positions, has also been key, with HIMARS itself reliant on GPS guidance. While Russian air defences have frequently shot down rockets from the HIMARS system, it was not clarified how Russian forces may have eroded its effectiveness. Electronic warfare and some means of jamming its guidance...

Russia has been thwarting US-made mobile rocket systems in Ukraine more frequently in recent months, using electronic jammers to throw off its GPS guided targeting system to cause rockets to miss their targets, multiple people briefed on the matter told CNN.Ukrainian military officials, with the US’ help, have had to come up with a variety of different workarounds as it continues to use the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) which has been perhaps the most revered and feared piece of weaponry in Ukraine’s fight.The medium-range rocket systems were hailed as a game changer in the conflict and have played...

ransomnote: The media is broadcasting part of Putin's statment - essentially if US/UK allow Ukraine to fire long-range missiles deep into Russia, then they are at war with Russia. Right now there's apparently a blackout on Putin's second point - NATO military personelle, and NATO satellite intel are required to fire the missiles deep into Russia (in bold type below).Question: Over the past few days, we have been hearing statements at a very high level in the UK and the United States that the Kiev regime will be allowed to strike targets deep inside Russia using Western long-range weapons. Apparently,...

FREEPERS, we need to raise $25,897 in donations by the end of the month in order to keep the lights on. Looking at Q3, I see FReepers have already donated $55,103 (THANK YOU DEAR FREEPERS!)

With this article, I produce evidence for data-corruption in the vaccination database at the government in The Netherlands. If this data-corruption was caused on purpose, we are facing data-fraud.Left or right, the implications are substantial.Main Observations:Data Corruption - Records for 878K+ people who since their vaccination died or emigrated have been removed from the version that was made available to researchers.Double Ledger - at the Dutch Statistics Bureau: They maintain a (hidden) version of the vaccination database next to a version available to researchers;Main Conclusions:As a consequence, the findings of all studies on COVID vaccine effectiveness that made use...

Its a small difference, but a real one.Go into your operating system and for all WiFi connections set MAC address randomization.For Windows 11 it is under Network & Internet -> WiFi right at the bottom -- "Random hardware addresses."For Android it is on by default for WiFi connections -- check all of them you use, and it should be on.I suspect IOS on Macs has a similar feature.Unfortunately for most systems there is no similar setting for hardware connections (e.g. cabled.)This didn't used to matter much in the world of IPv4 because MAC addresses do not travel beyond the local...

Donald Trump has drawn ridicule and accusations of hypocrisy after accusing Kamala Harris of mistreating Mike Pence, the former vice-president who his supporters said should be hanged during the January 6 insurrection that he incited.The Republican’s nominee’s comments came in an interview with Fox News, when he also singled out Harris’s 2018 cross-examination of Brett Kavanaugh during Senate confirmation hearings after Trump, then president, nominated him as a justice on the US supreme court.“They say she has many deficiencies, but she’s a nasty person,” Trump told the interviewer, Mark Levin. “The way she treated Mike Pence was horrible.

The PCR test is responsible for more deaths than any test in history. It has been the weapon of choice for those determined to create fear, to justify pointless and damaging lockdowns, harmful and futile mask wearing and toxic and useless vaccinations.“Anyone who has ever used the PCR test as a diagnostic aid is a criminal and should be regarded as such,” Dr. Vernon Coleman writes.The late Kary Mullis invented the polymerase chain reaction (“PCR”) test in 1984-1985 for research purposes to amplify specific DNA or RNA sequences for genetic analysis. It is a DNA amplification technique, not a diagnostic...

Remdesivir is described as a “broad spectrum antiviral drug.” It is an RNA polymerase inhibitor which disrupts the production of vital RNA. It is said to prevent the multiplication of SARS-CoV-2. Remdesivir was introduced for the treatment of covid-19 patients who were in hospital suffering from covid-19, with or without pneumonia. It is still being widely used. I have been researching and writing about drugs since 1970 and I am appalled at the way that it now appears that in some countries some hospitals and doctors (and even nurses) are now routinely giving remdesivir to patients – particularly elderly patients...
