Russia warns NATO of 'direct war' over Ukraine <https://www.rt.com/russia/603985-nato-war-russia/> --Moscow's envoy to the UN has reiterated where the Kremlin's red line is | 13 Sept 2024 | Granting Kiev permission to use Western-supplied long-range weapons would constitute direct involvement in the Ukraine conflict by NATO, Russia's envoy to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, has said. Moscow will treat any such attack as coming from the U.S. and its allies directly, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday, explaining that long-range weapons rely on Western intelligence and targeting solutions, neither of which Ukraine is capable of. NATO countries would "start an open war" with Russia if they allow Ukraine to use long-range weapons, Nebenzia told the UN Security Council on Friday. "If such a decision is made, that means NATO countries are starting an open war against Russia," Moscow's envoy said. "In that case, we will obviously be forced to make certain decisions, with all the attendant consequences for Western aggressors."

Putin issues new warning to NATO <https://www.rt.com/russia/603934-putin-warning-nato-weapons/> --Long-range strikes against Russia would mean direct involvement in the Ukraine conflict | 12 Sept 2024 | Removing restrictions on Ukraine's use of Western weapons would directly involve the U.S. and its allies in the conflict with Russia and would be met with an appropriate response, Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned. The West has sent Ukraine long-range missiles such as Storm Shadows and ATACMS, which Kiev has so far used against Crimea and Donbass. In the past several days, however, the U.S. and UK have suggested they might allow these weapons to be used to strike targets deeper into internationally recognized Russian territory... Ukraine lacks the capability to use Western long-range systems, Putin said, noting that targeting for such strikes requires intelligence from NATO satellites, while firing solutions can "only be entered by NATO military personnel." "If this decision is made, it will mean nothing less than the direct participation of NATO countries, the U.S. and European countries, in the conflict in Ukraine," the Russian president said. "Their direct participation, of course, significantly changes the very essence, the very nature of the conflict." With that in mind, Putin added, Russia will "make the appropriate decisions based on the threats facing us.”

Russia ready to share knowledge of NATO weapons - minister <https://www.rt.com/russia/603962-russian-experience-nato-weapons/> --Western arms have failed to live up to their reputation, Deputy Defense Minister Aleksandr Fomin has said | 13 Sept 2024 | Russia's friends can benefit from its experience in dealing with Western weapons in the Ukraine conflict, Russian Deputy Defense Minister Aleksandr Fomin has said. Western nations have provided a vast quantity of weapons to Kiev. Despite their advertised capabilities, "they burn on the battlefield pretty good, with no chance of repair," Fomin told an audience at the Xiangshan security forum in Beijing on Friday. "We have acquired know-how in defeating various Western weapon systems and using modern tactics, and are prepared to share this experience with our partners," he added.

Nuland confirms West told Zelensky to abandon peace deal <https://www.rt.com/news/603708-ukraine-istanbul-us-nuland/> | 9 Sept 2024 | The U.S., UK, and other backers of Ukraine told Kiev to reject the deal reached at the 2022 Istanbul peace talks with Russia, former US under secretary of state Victoria Nuland has said. In an interview with Russian journalist Mikhail Zygar, former editor-in-chief of the liberal news channel Dozhd, which aired on Thursday, Nuland was asked to comment on reports that the peace process between Moscow and Kiev in late March and early April 2022 collapsed after then-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson traveled to Ukraine and told Vladimir Zelensky to keep fighting. "Relatively late in the game the Ukrainians began asking for advice on where this thing was going and it became clear to us, clear to the Brits, clear to others that [President Vladimir] Putin's main condition was buried in an annex to this document that they were working on," she said of the deal being discussed by the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Turkey's largest city.

U.S. sanctions RT <https://www.rt.com/news/603997-us-sanctions-rt/> --The Russian outlet is a threat to democracy, the U.S. State Department [the biggest threat to democracy on God's green Earth] has claimed | 13 Sept 2024 | U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has accused RT and its parent company of acting as an extension of Russian intelligence and attempting to undermine democracy around the world. Speaking at a State Department press conference on Friday, Blinken announced sanctions designations against RT parent companies Rossiya Segodnya and TV-Novosti, accusing "individuals affiliated" and "elements within" them of allegedly attempting to interfere in the Moldovan elections... Blinken revealed that the US, UK, and Canada plan to launch a global effort to treat RT's activities as espionage, and hope to attract all of their "allies and partners" to the endeavor. James O'Brien, assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs, called RT a "threat to democracy and accurate information." [The CIA staged the coup in Ukraine in 2014 that no one ever talks about. Also, the only people who interfere in U.S. elections are Mark Zuckerberg and the Biden regime and their WEF/Soros overlords.]

Ukrainian city announces 'language inspectors' <https://www.rt.com/russia/603768-ukraine-russian-language-crackdown/> --Ivano-Frankovsk will introduce inspectors to force residents to conform to new rules | 10 Sept 2024 | The city of Ivano-Frankovsk in western Ukraine will soon introduce "language inspectors" to police and censor the increasing use of Russian, Mayor Ruslan Martsinkiv stated on Monday. He made the announcement after a meeting with State Language Protection Commissioner Taras Kremin, Kiev's top official for implementing the use of Ukrainian in citizens' everyday lives. The city has various programs to popularize Ukrainian, Martsinkiv said. Among other things, "we've decided to launch a public initiative of language inspectors," promising to disclose more details in due course. The measure is necessary, he claimed, because "unfortunately" there has been an increasing amount of Russian speech in Ivano-Frankovsk, "and that is a problem." [It's only a "problem" to the sociopaths in the Ukrainian Nazi regime -- not to anyone else.]

Ukraine's top spy declares Telegram a 'threat to national security' <https://www.rt.com/news/603663-ukrainian-intel-chief-telegram-threat/> | 7 Sept 2024 | Telegram poses a real threat to Ukraine's national security, the chief of that country's Main Directorate of Military Intelligence, Kirill Budanov, has stated. The official acknowledged that the encrypted instant-messaging platform has become the prime source of information in the country, "outperforming everything else." Telegram was created by Russian tech entrepreneurs Pavel and Nikolay Durov back in 2013. In an interview with Charter Radio station on Saturday, Budanov said that he does not advocate "simply shutting down" the messaging app. According to the intelligence chief, while quite difficult to implement, such a ban is doable, though. "I call for all Telegram channels" to be obliged to establish a physical presence in Ukraine, Budanov declared.

Top German MP threatens X and Telegram with bans <https://www.rt.com/news/603665-german-mp-x-ban/> | 7 Sept 2024 | Germany must act to stop the dissemination of extremist content online and block major social media platforms if necessary, a senior MP from the country's Green Party has said. MP Anton Hofreiter, the chairman of the Bundestag's European policy committee, made the remarks on Saturday while speaking to reporters from Funke Media Group. The politician called for tighter control over social media, up to the outright blocking of certain platforms. "One of the biggest problems of extremism is online radicalization," Hofreiter stated, adding that the dissemination of "anti-constitutional content on the Internet" must be stopped... Those social media platforms that refuse to abide by German laws and remove "extremist content" must be blocked altogether, Hofreiter argued, specifically singling out X, formerly Twitter, among the potential targets.

'Pact for the Future': Nations to Swear Fealty to UN <https://www.technocracy.news/pact-for-the-future-nations-to-swear-fealty-to-un/> --Fealty - "The fidelity of a vassal or feudal tenant to his lord" | 12 Sept 2024 | On September 22, dignitaries from around the world will gather at the United Nations headquarters in New York for a meeting called Summit of the Future. At the conference, world leaders will sign the Pact for the Future, an accord in which member states will pledge their allegiance to the UN as a central, unifying government."We, the Heads of State and Government, representing the peoples of the world, have gathered at United Nations Headquarters to protect the needs and interests of present and future generations through the actions in this Pact for the Future," the document begins."We recognize that the multilateral system and its institutions, with the United Nations and its Charter at the centre, must be strengthened to keep pace with a changing world." Member states then repeatedly "reaffirm" their "unwavering commitment" to the UN, its charter, its purposes, its principles, and Agenda 2030. They vow to comply with the UN's International Court of Justice and promise to "reform the international financial architecture."

Americans to Be Fingerprinted and Registered to Enter EU Starting November 2024 <https://principia-scientific.com/americans-to-be-fingerprinted-and-registered-to-enter-eu-from-november/> | 6 Sept 2024 | For years, Americans have been allowed to enter (most of) Europe unrestricted, without overly strict checks or entry permits required. In some airports, like Charles de Gaulle in Paris and Fiumicino in Rome, they are even allowed to use eGates upon landing, like they're Europeans. Starting from November, however, they will be faced with additional bureaucracy. Following years of deliberation, the Brussels-led bloc is finally reforming its border policy to meet the challenges of modern times, from security threats to irregular migration. U.S. passport holders will not be exempt from further scrutiny when flying into the zone. Starting November 2024, if you're an American, you should expect to get fingerprinted and registered upon crossing the European border.

Israeli forces accused of killing their own citizens under the 'Hannibal Directive' during October 7 chaos <https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-07/israel-hannibal-directive-kidnap-hamas-gaza-hostages-idf/104224430> | 7 Sept 2024 | "Hannibal at Erez, dispatch a Zik [attack drone]," came the command on October 7. Those words, reported by Israeli newspaper Haaretz in July, confirm what many Israelis have feared since the Hamas attacks on October 7 in southern Israel. Israeli forces have killed their own citizens. Israeli authorities say more than 800 civilians and around 300 soldiers were killed on October 7... The Israeli military is coming under increasing pressure to reveal just how many of their own citizens were killed by Israeli soldiers, pilots and police in the confusion of the Hamas attack on southern Israeli communities. Survivors and relatives have been asking not just "what went wrong," but whether the military invoked the controversial - and supposedly rescinded - "Hannibal Directive." The doctrine, written in 1986 in response to the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers in Lebanon, gave permission for Israeli forces to fire on enemies holding their comrades hostage - even at risk to those hostages.

Trump Pledges to End Taxes on Overtime: 'Hardest-Working Citizens in Our Country' <https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/09/12/trump-pledges-to-end-taxes-on-overtime-hardest-working-citizens-in-our-country/> | 12 Sept 2024 | Former President Donald Trump pledged to end taxes on overtime, referring to those workers as the "hardest-working citizens in our country." "I'm also announcing that as part of our additional tax cuts, we will end all taxes on overtime," Trump said during a rally, prompting applause from those in attendance. "That gives people more of an incentive to work. It [makes it a lot easier for the companies] to get the people." Trump praised overtime workers for their hard work while lamenting that Washington has not "been looking out for them." Trump's pledge to end overtime taxes comes after he pledged to end taxes on tips.

ABC Failed to Disclose Debate Conflict of Kamala Harris and Linsey Davis Being AKA Sorority Sisters <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2024/09/13/abc-failed-to-disclose-debate-conflict-of-kamala-harris-and-linsey-davis-being-aka-sorority-sisters/> | 12 Sept 2024 | ABC News failed to disclose that Kamala Harris and ABC News anchor Linsey Davis, who co-moderated Tuesday night's debate between Harris and President Trump, are sorority sisters in the influential Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. AKA formed a PAC in August after Harris became the Democrats' presidential nominee. The sorority connection is one more possible clue as to why the debate moderated by Davis and ABC World News Tonight anchor David Muir was so one-sided in favor of Harris. Muir and Davis interrupted Trump numerous times to fact check and argue with him while they did not fact check Harris even one time.

Former top Clinton adviser calls on ABC to launch internal probe into whether debate was rigged <https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/mark-penn-calls-abc-news-launch-internal-probe-moderators-fact-checking> | 12 Sept 2024 | Mark Penn, a former top adviser to Bill and Hillary Clinton, called Thursday for ABC to launch a formal internal investigation into its news [sic] division's planning and execution of this week's presidential debate to determine if there was some effort at "rigging the outcome of this debate." ABC News came under significant bipartisan criticism because its moderators [David Muir and Linsey Davis] fact-checked some of Donald Trump's statements but not a single pushback at any made by Kamala Harris. Trump said Thursday that the debate was three-on-one and declined to participate in another one before the election. "I actually think they should do a full internal investigation, hire an outside law firm. I don't know how much of this was planned in advance," Penn told the John Solomon Reports podcast. "I don't know what they told the Harris campaign. I think the day after, suspicion here is really quite high, and I think a review of all their internal texts and emails really should be done by an independent party to find out to what extent they were planning on, in effect, you know, fact-checking just one candidate and in effect, rigging the outcome of this debate. I think the situation demands nothing less than that," he added.

Megyn Kelly launches blistering attack against Taylor Swift for endorsing Kamala Harris: 'The epitome of elite snob' <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-13839047/megyn-kelly-taylor-swift-kamala-harris-snob-slammed.html> | 11 Sept 2024 | Megyn Kelly has launched a blistering attack against Taylor Swift for endorsing Kamala Harris. The former Fox News host claimed the pop superstar and boyfriend Travis Kelce were "the epitomes of elite snobs" who didn't really care what happened to American kids because they're too busy "jetting across the world" and "sitting in their mansions." "She doesn't care what happens to these kids just like he doesn't give a s**t what happens to all the young men who take that Pfizer booster he's been pushing on them." Kelce starred in a Pfizer campaign last year, appearing in ad that saw him encouraging his fans to get the [often deadly] COVID-19 vaccine. Megyn claimed in her podcast that the vaccine was causing a life-threatening heart condition known as myocarditis. "I'm sure Travis is totally f*king clueless about the myocarditis taking the lives of young men in this country, who didn't need the shot to begin with - never mind a booster," Megyn continued. "Where's Travis Kelce going to be when these [his fans] wind up with heart scarring that causes heart attacks and potentially death?"

Trump surges 14 points with independents, Latinos shift 19 points in ex-president's favor - poll <https://nypost.com/2024/09/10/us-news/trump-surges-14-points-with-independents-latinos-shift-19-points-in-ex-prezs-favor-poll/> | 10 Sept 2024 | Former President Donald Trump appears to have made remarkable gains of about 14 points among independents and 19 points with Latino voters relative to Kamala Harris in a new poll. Trump, 78, jumped ahead of Harris with a three-point lead among independents in a multi-candidate contest, 49% to 46%, gaining significant ground since the August poll in which he trailed Harris, 59, by 11 points, 48% to 37%, according to fresh polling from NPR/PBS News/Marist. In between the August and September polls, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. -- who notched 12% support in the prior survey -- dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump.

IRS whistleblowers sue Hunter Biden's defense counsel for defamation <https://justthenews.com/government/courts-law/irs-whistleblowers-sue-hunter-bidens-defense-counsel-defamation> | 13 Sept 2024 | The two IRS agents who blew the whistle on the Hunter Biden tax investigation and significantly altered the course of the case, on Friday night sued the first son's lawyer Abbe Lowell for defamation. The two whistleblowers, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, are suing for libel because of the alleged damage done to their careers, and are requesting a jury trial in Washington, D.C. The whistleblowers originally brought concerns to the House Ways and Means Committee that the Justice Department had provided preferential treatment to Biden during a probe into his alleged tax violations. Shapley and Ziegler alleged in Friday's legal complaint that Lowell acted with malice by sending letters to several different Congressional committees, where the lawyer "falsely accused the Plaintiffs of violating grand jury secrecy rules...and the taxpayer confidentiality statute."

Illegal immigrant hit with multiple child rape charges on Martha's Vineyard - months after being freed from prison <https://nypost.com/2024/09/10/us-news/illegal-immigrant-charged-with-child-rapes-on-on-marthas-vineyard/> | 10 Sept 2024 | An illegal immigrant has been arrested and slapped with multiple child rape charges in Martha's Vineyard -- just months after being freed from prison for strangling someone, federal officials said. Brazilian national Warley Neto, 24, was taken into custody by the feds in the upmarket liberal enclave on Aug. 23 after he was indicted on five counts of raping a Massachusetts minor and five counts of enticing a minor under 16 earlier this year, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials. Neto had illegally crossed into the U.S. near Paso Del Norte, Texas, in March 2018 but was released from custody after being served with a notice to appear before an immigration judge at a later date, authorities said.

Hatchet-wielding, hard-partying migrants take over Texas hotel - turning it into haven for notorious gang <https://nypost.com/2024/09/10/us-news/el-paso-gateway-hotel-overrun-by-migrants-tren-de-aragua-gang/> | 10 Sept 2024 | The violent Venezuelan migrant gang Tren de Aragua has taken over a hotel in the Texas border city of El Paso - turning into a hub of fighting, drinking and hard-partying behavior, authorities say. The cops have been called nearly 700 times to the Gateway hotel. Surveillance footage shows one man wielding a hatchet, others were spotted with knives and at least one man was seen firing a gun inside, the El Paso County Attorney said. Much of this activity happened while children were present.

Suspected Tren de Aragua gang members in Aurora, Colorado, released on $1,000 bond <https://www.foxnews.com/us/suspected-tren-de-aragua-gang-members-aurora-colorado-released-1000-bond> --It is unclear how Aurora Police will monitor the suspected gang members after their release on bond | 7 Sept 2024 | Two suspected Tren de Aragua gang members and Venezuelan nationals have been released from custody on 1,000 bond, according to police. Nixon and Dixon Azuaje-Perez were arrested by Aurora Police in relation to a July 28th shooting on charges of evidence tampering. According to a spokesperson for Aurora PD in an email to Fox News Digital, “They both posted 1,000 bond." The bond release goes directly against ICE, which had requested detainers for both Nixon and Dixon. Nearby Denver, Colorado, is a sanctuary city, meaning officials do not cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
