Peking University professor Lu Feng (路风) stresses that, in the context of the US-China chip war, his advice is indeed to “take a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye”. “The more China backs down”, he says, “the more frequent and heavier the blows [by the US] will become. Thus, it is time for China to harden its fist and develop the ability to grab hold of the other side by the ‘throat’. Only then will the other party acknowledge that we both belong to a ‘community with a shared future for mankind’.”
Been crazy busy as of late.
I will provide updates later. Note that the “worm is turning” for many in this world, and there are major, MAJOR things on-going behind the scenes right now.
My response on Quora…
Question is…
Clearly World War 3 will erupt in four fronts, Russia Ukraine, China-Taiwan, North and South Korea, and Iran vs Israel.
Answer is…
Can the US handle all these war fronts just in case world war 3 breaks anytime?
Ah. This is most certainly a “wet dream” of American neocons.
And, ah most certainly, the mainstream media “news” is promoting the various narratives. So it appears to be this case.
But, if you all even knew a mere fraction of what I know, then you would realize that what things appear has nothing to do with the actual reality. Everything is a lie; a distraction and a fabrication. What you think is often, more often than not, just nonsense.
So let’s talk about “World War 3”…
Well, for starters, when the history books (describing this period in time) are written, it will layout the start of world war 3 to be around 2014. With the precursors initiating around 2008.
We are currently enduring the 3 – 5 year long peak of hostilities.
The end of “hostilities” will terminate after a 10 year long period of conflict. Roughly around 2024.
And a period of “rebuilding” and “reconstruction” lasting around ten years, and a new global normal well established around 2034.
The “four fronts”…
The questioner is truly saturated with the mass lies from mainstream media. The true reality looks nothing like the fears generated by the question suppose.
Russia Ukraine
The on-going pro-Ukraine propaganda narrative is really nonsensical.
Instead, Russia will “win” the conflict, and the end result will be a “rump state” of Ukraine, without ports and land-locked. Eastern Ukraine will continue to be part of Russia. Western Ukraine may or may not be incorporated into Poland.
A balance will settle down, and the idea that Ukraine will “continue” to be the breadbasket of the world will fade. The DU ammo remnants will have to be cleaned up, else the world will be flooded with radioactive fertilizer and cooking oils.
China-Taiwan
Reunification is in process.
The DPP (pro-America party) was thoroughly smashed during the last elections , it is unlikely to ever recover. Ongoing talks between the KMT (the status quo party) is going on in Beijing in regards to the technical details of providing the Taiwanese with a seat on the CPC people’s congress.
There will be no “invasion”.
One day, within the next five years, the West will wake up to Taiwan hoisting the Chinese mainland flag in Taipei without a shot being fired.
North and South Korea
Again, reunification is in process, but under the blanket of secrecy, least the United States overlords start a spate of “color revolutions”, terror attacks, and other covert operations.
Iran vs Israel
Iran is NOW well-connected with both China and Russia. This amazing power-block is significant and important. It’s still a work in progress, but with the BRI, Iran is no longer isolated, and future conflicts originating from the USA and Israel will gradually wind down.
The “real” war
The real and actual war wasn’t listed. Imagine that!
The “real war” is the decline of the United States and it’s proxy nations, against the rest of the world.
This decline of the West cannot be stopped.
The big concern is whether or not the United States will “flip the tables” and create a global catastrophe.
Latest political events in the United States, the Biden “War Party” against the Republican “War party” suggest that this might not happen.
Never the less, if you have been paying attention, the unified Asia are ready for this, and were the United States to ignite such a fiasco, the results WILL NOT be in the United States favor. If you think that the United States is going downhill now, you have no idea of how bad it can and will get.
The curtain is going down. The lights are going up, and people are moving out of the theater. It’s almost over.
Have some patience, and please, for God’s sake, turn off the “news”.

Russian War Planes Enter POLAND Air Space
F-35 fighters from the Royal Netherlands Air Force intercepted a formation of three Russian military aircraft near Poland and escorted them away, the Dutch Defense Ministry said in a statement.
The Dutch planes were part of the NATO Air Policing mission which monitors Central and Eastern Europe airspace.
According to a tweet by the Dutch Defense Ministry, the intercepted aircraft were a Russian IL-20M Coot-A reconnaissance plane and two escorting Su-27 ‘Flankers.’
Polish media is reporting the incident took place near the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad in international airspace.
Lieutenant Colonel Guido Schols, the commander of the Netherlands’ F-35 detachment which is stationed in Poland, was quoted by the ministry as saying that Polish airspace is protected 24 hours a day seven days a week.
The Il-20M Coot-A is Nato’s reporting name for the Russian Ilyushin Il-20M reconnaissance aircraft while the Su-27 Flankers are Nato’s reporting name for the Sukhoi Su-28 fighter aircraft.
he Il-20M (ASCC name Coot A) was designed for intelligence gathering with its distinguishing features being the Igla-1 phased-array SLAR (Side-Looking Airborne Radar) pod under the forward fuselage, housings for A-87P LOROP cameras and the Romb 4 sigint system. Two antennas also protrude from the top of the fuselage for the Vishnaya communications intelligence gathering system.
OOOPS! Poland Changes its story . . .
They are changing their story a little bit now…
“Poland’s Ministry of Defense has confirmed that Dutch F-35 fighter jets were scrambled on Monday to intercept three Russian aircraft.
“Dutch F-35s stationed at the 22nd Tactical Air Base in Malbork were scrambled on Monday (February 13) in order to identify and intercept 3 Russian aircraft that were operating near Polish airspace,” the Polish Defense Ministry said in a statement sent to CNN on Tuesday.
The defense ministry said that the F-35 fighters were operating over international waters and Polish airspace was not violated.”

he Buildup To War In Ukraine – February 15 2022
After the 2014 coup in Kiev the dully elected President Yanukovich had fled the country. His supporters in parliament were afraid and would no show up for further assemblies. The incoming U.S. selected government immediately set out to suppress the Russian speaking parts of Ukraine. The first move of the rump parliament, now dominated by right-wing people from west Ukraine, was to prohibit the Russian language for official business.
The ethnic Russian population in the east and southeast was opposed to the coup and rebelled against it. The new government tried to oppress it by military means. But a lot of soldiers defected to the rebels and soon those won the upper hand. The Ukrainian government troops were decisively defeated, twice. Each time the French, German, Russian and Ukrainian governments set down to come to agreements on how to proceed:
The first, known as the Minsk Protocol, was drafted in 2014 by the Trilateral Contact Group on Ukraine, consisting of Ukraine, Russia, and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), with mediation by the leaders of France and Germany in the so-called Normandy Format. After extensive talks in Minsk, Belarus, the agreement was signed on 5 September 2014 by representatives of the Trilateral Contact Group and, without recognition of their status, by the then-leaders of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) and Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR). This agreement followed multiple previous attempts to stop the fighting in the region and aimed to implement an immediate ceasefire.
The agreement failed to stop fighting, and was thus followed with a revised and updated agreement, Minsk II, which was signed on 12 February 2015. This agreement consisted of a package of measures, including a ceasefire, withdrawal of heavy weapons from the front line, release of prisoners of war, constitutional reform in Ukraine granting self-government to certain areas of Donbas and restoring control of the state border to the Ukrainian government. While fighting subsided following the agreement’s signing, it never ended completely, and the agreement’s provisions were never fully implemented.
The Minsk II agreement, a “Package of measures for the Implementation of the Minsk agreements”, was endorsed by the UN Security Council Resolution 2205. It is available here. The package includes clearly numbered tasks. An immediate ceasefire is task 1. The ‘Launch of a dialogue’ about legislation measures the Ukrainian parliament would have to take to recognize a special status for Donbas is step 4. Step 9 is the reinstatement of full control of the state border by the government.
These clearly defined steps later proved to be the reason why the agreement was never fully implemented. The government of Ukraine insisted that step 9 should be taken before step 4. The governments of the Donetsk and Luhansk republics insisted on the original sequencing as giving up any control over the boarder with Russia, and the supplies coming through it, would have taken away their ability to defend themselves before the other steps, specifically the recognition of the special status of the Donbas republics, had been taken.
Over the years several summits were held to push for a fulfillment of the Minsk agreements. But the government of Ukraine, with ‘western’ support, continued to block the process.
On Tuesday, February 15 2022, following talks with the German chancellor Olaf Scholz, President Vladimir Putin ordered some troops who had been stationed near the border with Ukraine to move back to their barracks.
France 24 listed other headlines of the day:
- Blinken speaks to FRANCE 24: The Ukrainian crisis has ‘reinforced transatlantic solidarity’
- NATO chief says ‘cautious optimism’ over Ukraine crisis
- Ukraine crisis: Blinken says risk of Russian invasion high
- Should I stay or should I go? Ukrainians remain resolute despite a war of nerves
- Scholz welcomes Russian withdrawal of some troops from near Ukraine
- Putin, Scholz begin talks in Moscow over Ukraine security
- Russia says some troops return to base, Ukraine reacts cautiously
- Markets calmer after Zelensky’s invasion joke spooks investors
France 24, and many other ‘western’ media, missed something important that was happening in Russia:
Russia’s parliament will vote on Tuesday to decide whether to ask President Vladimir Putin to recognise two Russian-backed breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine as independent, the speaker of the Duma lower house said.
…
The idea of asking Putin to recognise the breakaway territories was first floated by lawmakers on Jan. 19 but has taken weeks to get onto parliament’s agenda, with the Kremlin declining to comment on whether it likes the idea.
In late January 2022 the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) had analyzed the idea:
On January 19, 11 members of the State Duma, Russia’s lower house of parliament, registered a draft law to recognize the independence of two separatist statelets in eastern Ukraine that have been warring with Kyiv since 2014 with substantial but undeclared support from Moscow. The document, which was put forward by members of the Communist Party, comes amid rising tensions along Ukraine’s border and in occupied Crimea, as Russia continues its buildup of military forces while demanding that the collective West agree to proposals to reshape the European security order to its liking.This is not the first time that Russian parliamentarians have sought to provide official recognition to the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics (abbreviated as the DPR and LPR, respectively). In 2014, deputies from the party launched an abortive campaign to collect signatures in support of recognizing the territories’ independence, which would have been delivered to President Putin for consideration. Meanwhile, the Just Russia party called for recognizing the statelets’ independence that same year and has included it in subsequent party platforms.
This was not the idea of the major government supporting United Russia party, but of the parliamentarian opposition. Putin had rejected the 2014 attempt towards independence as he did want to keep the Donbas republics within Ukraine.
CSIS writes that an eventual recognition of the independence of Donbas was seen by its supporters as a step that might help to avoid a war:
The approach suggested by the Communists offers certain advantages to Russia. First, with negotiations on Russia’s security demands stalled, extending official recognition to the LPR and DPR could give Putin a relatively simple way to shift the status quo in Russia’s favor without (necessarily) involving the 127,000-strong Russian forces currently encircling Ukraine.The chairman of the State Duma’s committee dealing with relations in neighboring states has already indicated that recognizing the statelets’ independence could be part of Russia’s “plan B” in case talks fail. If Russia would want to allow more time for negotiations to play out, while also escalating pressure to compel the West to accept at least some of its core positions, then recognition of the statelets could be considered in the Kremlin as an appropriate next step. Should Ukraine and the West make substantial concessions at that stage, then Putin would be able to proclaim a victory in the current standoff and draw down his forces rather than risk a spiraling escalation with unpredictable outcomes.
During its February 15 session the Duma adopted the resolution:
Russia’s lower house of parliament voted on Tuesday to ask President Vladimir Putin to recognise two Russian-backed breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine as independent and the European Union told Moscow not to follow through.The move by the State Duma, if approved, could further inflame a wider standoff over a Russian military build-up near Ukraine that has fuelled Western fears that Moscow could attack. Russia denies any invasion plans and has accused the West of hysteria.
Recognition of the self-declared Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics could kill the Minsk peace process in eastern Ukraine, where a conflict in the region known as Donbass between government forces and Moscow-backed separatists has cost 15,000 lives.
“Kyiv is not observing the Minsk agreements. Our citizens and compatriots who live in Donbass need our help and support,” Vyacheslav Volodin, the State Duma speaker, wrote on social media.
…
At a news conference in Moscow, Putin declined to be drawn out on how he plans to respond. He said Russians were sympathetic to the residents of the Donbass region, but he wanted the regions’ problems to be resolved through the Minsk accords.
…
Four-way peace talks between Ukraine, Russia, France and Germany were held last week but ended without a breakthrough.After the talks, Ukraine said it would not yield to pressure from Moscow to negotiate directly with the separatists, while Russia accused Kyiv of putting forward absurd proposals.
The OSCE Special Observer Mission at the ceasefire line in southeast-Ukraine reported of February 15 that the number of ceasefire violations continued to be below average. The number of explosions, i.e. artillery impacts, was higher than average but mostly limited to one area where they hit on both sides of the ceasefire line:
In Donetsk region, the SMM recorded 24 ceasefire violations, including five explosions. In the previous reporting period, it recorded 17 ceasefire violations in the region.In Luhansk region, the Mission recorded 129 ceasefire violations, including 71 explosions.
…
The majority of ceasefire violations occurred in areas close to the disengagement area near Zolote (government-controlled, 60km west of Luhansk) (see below). In the previous reporting period, the Mission recorded 157 ceasefire violations in the region, some of which also occurred near the disengagement area near Zolote.
…
During the reporting period, the SMM camera in Zolote recorded four projectiles in flight, while Mission patrols heard 61 undetermined explosions and 37 bursts of heavy-machine-gun fire, assessed as outside the disengagement area near Zolote but within 5km of its periphery.

Russia-Ukraine Coming to a Head – Major “Historic” Speech by Putin on February 21
All Russian TV outlets have been told to drop everything and broadcast a speech by President Vladimir Putin, live, on 21st February. The speech is to the Russian Federation Assembly. Sources tell me this could be “it.”
TV stations have been told to expect the speech to last about an hour. I am also told all radio stations in Russia are to carry the speech live. This seems unprecedented.
Between this and Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Kuleba boasting that “something is going to take place on February 23 and 24 that Russia will not like, it will affect the whole world” it is appearing more and more likely that the crap is going to get real for all of us; maybe the formal outbreak of WW3.
Today, Russia called for an extraordinary meeting of the UN Security Council over US destruction of Nord Stream pipe line.
The Russians will get nothing out of the US-controlled UN other than obstruction.
This afternoon in Russia, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma, a guy named Tolstoy, announced new denunciations of international treaties by Russia: “There is no possibility and no desire to work with the Europeans on any issues.”
Yesterday, this web site reported Covert Intel that Norwegian Intelligence Services reported, for the first time since the Cold War, Russia has started deploying tactical nuclear weapons to their Northern Fleet warships.
Today, it came out that The U.S military ordered depleted uranium (DU) munitions designed for the Abrams tanks that Biden is sending to Ukraine. DU caused cancer and birth defects in Iraq, Afghanistan, and former Yugoslavia. Russia considers these to be a “dirty bomb” and, as reported by this web site weeks ago, Russia will respond to being hit with a “dirty nuclear bomb” exactly the way anyone would expect them to — with nukes.
Right now Nukes and their delivery systems — Ships/Subs/Mobile Launcher Trucks are on the move everywhere.
Global tension is off the scale.
Putin’s speech on 21st February might be simultaneous with the Nukes being launched. In my gut, I pesonally believe (and this is only my personal view) I’d expect Putin to give the West an Ultimatum and a date. After that a State of War will exist with the West…
I bet all those Russian ships that sailed out of port have attack orders. Once the go signal is sent, they will unleash their nuclear missiles…
We are so close.
He may announce that Russia will in the future interdict war supplies being sent to Ukraine. This could involve the seizure of ships.
He may announce that Russia now regards certain countries as being co belligerents with Ukraine, and that Russia may strike at weapons and training facilities in Europe. This is extreme though.
My money is that this is about Nordstream and the US. He may try to peel apart the US and some European countries. Then join forces with China saying there will be no peace treaty until Russia wins Ukraine and China wins Taiwan.
Russia doesn’t want to face Nato. It’s a losing situation. But if he can divide NATO over Nordstream and if he can ally with China he might go for it.
Nukes are reserved for when you’ve lost. But even then you don’t use them. You insist that even in defeat you retain the reins of your country, your country retains it’s sovereignty or you’re going to launch your nukes. This is damned believable and anybody will settle for that.
Make preparations. Food, water, medicines, generator with fuel, communications gear, a plan for the family that everyone knows by heart where to meet, how to get there, what to do if some don’t make it.
If you can, try to avoid being around high risk targets.
What Does It Feel Like To Go From Physically Unattractive To Attractive?
All growing up, I was extremely sick—undiagnosed with Celiac Disease.
At school, I think the worst insult I ever heard was, “Hey Cole, the holocaust called and they want one of their bodies back.” That’s how skinny I was.
I lacked any and all confidence, and had no peer group to call my own—my group of friends lived on the Internet in the World of Warcraft.
I didn’t attend a single dance or high school event until my senior year prom, and I took a girl from another school—a girl who I tried very hard to keep from realizing that my social capital was next to nothing.
I think the above photo on the left sort of speaks for itself. I was not quite what many would deem “attractive.”
Fast forward 7 years…
I now resemble society’s definition of “attractive.” Horrah. I finally did it.
The girls that never paid any attention to me suddenly crawl from the woodwork.
The guys who made fun of me now ask for my help, wanting to know how they can get bigger, praising me and my achievements.
Teachers, family friends, work associates place value on my physique, many of them assuming life for me has always been this way—I grew up that star athlete who could get any girl he wanted.
And now more than ever I realize just how few people really know me.
This transformation taught me a lot about who we are as humans and as a society. I think there is absolutely something to be said for presenting your best self—that’s why we’re told to dress well for job interviews, to “look the part.” It makes sense why people would endear the fact that I have achieved something physically for myself.
The hard part (and this is more of an internal thing within myself) is coming to terms with the fact that a lot of the pain I felt growing up was the result of something as trivial as my body. It’s sad that as a scrawny kid, playing World of Warcraft made me a nerd, but as a shredded bodybuilder, playing World of Warcraft makes me “sort of kinky/a hot nerd” (direct quote from females).
It’s sad that we high-five and praise the football players and the athletes, but condemn the chess players or the artists.
It’s sad that nobody recognized my intelligence until I gained something that had very little to do with my intelligence.
And it’s sad how many people think that this is what defines me. They talk about my biceps as if they’re detached from my body, someone else—an entity we can discuss objectively. They taunt me to take my shirt off and entertain the crowd. They ask me why I’m out right now, shouldn’t I be in the gym, aren’t I obsessed, lololol. They ridicule my work ethic and at the same time ask for my help.
So I embraced it. And decided I wanted to do something positive with it.
I want to support the kid who wants to become a professional gamer, or an artist. I want to help others improve their bodies so that people will take them seriously. I want to do something positive with the knowledge I’ve gained, instead of parroting the same script society tells us is the end goal: “get shredded, fuck bitches.”
As Nas said: “By the time you can afford it / the car ain’t important.”
By the time you’ve changed into the person you want to become, you’ll realize that it’s no longer for other people’s benefit.
I can’t knock the rewards I’ve gained with such a drastic transformation, but I also want it to be known that I think it’s absurd what we truly value in life. But if it takes being 170lbs and “shredded” for people to hear what you have to say, then I would like to be that voice for all the outcasts and misfits out there, quiet and shy, in love with their own unique crafts, scrawny or fat, made fun of for whatever reason.
Instead of putting them down, I would like to give them a high-five.
Because I was one of them.

DEVASTATING Chemical Explosion In Palestine Ohio After Train Derailment
Not being reported in the MSM. Big deal. A train derailment.
China and it’s reactions to the United States
The excerpts below are from a recent article by one of China’s most respected US specialists, Da Wei (达巍).
Da is, amongst other things, a professor of international relations at Tsinghua University and the director of its prestigious Centre for International Security and Strategy (CISS).
His article was first published a couple of weeks ago (i.e. before the balloon incident) and has since been crossposted several times by Chinese think tanks and university research centres alike.
Even the notoriously US-averse Global Times published his piece both in Chinese and an abridged version of it in English.
For those of you who might not be so used to reading this type of article, Da’s arguments are framed using concepts and rhetoric promoted by the Chinese Communist Party. Indeed, it is Da’s way of providing substance to these and, in so doing, of shaping the debate in China.
More important than his references to Mao and Xi are his underlying arguments, which are:
- US policymakers are now determined to exclude China from today’s interconnected world and are prepared to pay a price for doing so.
- In the face of US attempts to decouple from China in certain areas, Beijing must respond in a way that does not end up exacerbating this trend.
- China must both preserve and strengthen its connections with the outside world. This applies in particular to its ties with developed countries and thus also with the US. Only by doing so will China be able to prosper.
- Except for matters that touch upon China’s core interests, Beijing should avoid responding to American provocations in a tit for tat way and should focus its efforts on “building bridges” with the US and the rest of the world.
- Xi’s emphasis on developing China’s “fighting spirit” and on “being good at struggling” does not necessarily imply that China should become more aggressive. This, he says, should be understood as advocating compromise and cooperation with the outside world.
- If productive engagement is not possible with Washington, Beijing should focus on strengthening its ties with groups and individuals at the local level in the US (state-level officials, academics, businesses etc.).
- When the US is attacking China, it is all the more important for Beijing to enhance its ties with “Europe and countries in the Asia-Pacific” and be a little more “tolerant” with these countries than it would otherwise be with the US.
Ukraine Army to BURN Houses; Create “Smoke Screen” as they Retreat
The Ukrainian Army is posting notices like the one shown above, on houses in Bakhmut saying “On February 16, this house will be burned to create a smoke screen against the Russian Army.”
Ukraine is LOSING the war so badly, and so fast, it has to set fire to people’s houses to create a smoke screen under which their troops can flee!
Reunification of Taiwan.
Cut and paste from Frans, long time MM readers knows who this is.
This is what was said last night by Larry Yu on “Radio Tsingtao” in San Francisco, USA. The channel is run by the Chinese community in San Francisco.
Translation into English follows below.
十五年統一大綱待全國代表大會通過。所有與中國有外交關係的國家都將收到通知。這是聯合國承認一個中國政策的補充。 15年計劃將讓那些不想成為中國人、不想成為中國一部分的人有足夠的時間離開,包括像香港一樣的外國資本。美國、英國、歐盟和 5 眼聯盟反中集團 (美國 加拿大 澳洲 英國 紐西蘭) 可以為他們打開大門,尤其是那些有錢的人可以生活在種族主義盎格魯撒克遜(西人) 國家. 美國將加速台灣武器化對烏克蘭的說法在意料之中,但不必擔心,台灣不是烏克蘭,離中國大陸只有幾英里。 為什麼要製定 10-15 年計劃? 在烏克蘭針對俄羅斯的美國代理人戰爭削弱了北約、歐盟和美國。對歐盟最大的傷害是每天被美國搶劫,他們已經開始醒覺, 被強暴還要面帶笑容, 他們不會支持美國在台灣對中國發動代理人戰爭。 陸路和海上的“一帶一路”將在俄羅斯、伊朗和中東國家的支持下,使美國對中國的海上封鎖失效。 今天,美國航空母艦特艦隊在中國海岸 2000 英里範圍內將難逃被擊沉。今天,中國的武器裝備在各個方面都與美國相當,預計在未來 10 到 15 年內超過美國數英里。 今天,超過169個國家、70億世界人口站在中國陣營。只有 10 億人口,主要來自歐盟、美國和 5 眼聯盟反中集團,主要是盎格魯撒克遜人(西人) 支持美國。俄烏戰爭後,大多數歐盟國家,尤其是德國和法國,都不想繼續做美國的附庸國。
The 15 years reunification plan to be approved by National Congress of China. All countries with diplomatic relations with China will be notified. This is in addition to the recognition of the one China policy by UN.
The 15 years plan will allow those don’t want to be Chinese and don’t like to be part of China plenty time to leave including foreign capitals just like those in HK. US, UK, EU and the 5 eyes ani-China alliance (US Canada UK Australia New Zealand) could open the door for them especially those with money to live in the racist Anglo-Saxon countries and suffer.
The argument that US will accelerate weaponizing Taiwan like US is doing to Ukraine expected but need not worry. Taiwan is not Ukraine and only miles from Chinese mainland.
Why the 10-15 years plan?
The proxy war against Russia in Ukraine has weakened NATO, EU and US. The biggest damage is to EU being taken to the cleaner by the Americans everyday. They are waking up fast will not support US proxy war against China in Taiwan.
The One Belt One Road by land and by seas will be in place rendered US sea blockade against China ineffective with the backing of Russia, Iran and the Middle East nations, Global South and etc.
Today, US aircraft carriers task force is sitting duck within 2,000 miles of China coast. China weaponry is in par with US in every category today expect to overtake US by miles in the next 10-15 years.
Today, more than 169 nations or 7 billions of world population is in China’s camp. Only 1 billion population mainly from EU, US and the 5 eyes anti-China alliance, mostly Anglo-Saxon are backing the Americans.
After the Russia-Ukraine war, most EU nations especially Germany and France will not want to remain a vassal state of US.
Largest Hypermarket Chain In Russia’s Far East Imposes Limits Amid Buying Frenzy And Fear Of Shortages
The largest hypermarket chain in Russia’s Far East is restricting how much sugar, salt, and other essential foods people can purchase amid a buying frenzy triggered by fears of future shortages.
Samberi, which has 30 hypermarkets in nine cities in the Far East, announced restrictions on 10 items, including baby food, on its social media page on March 12.
“In essence, we are seeing signs of speculative demand. People are buying from us at reasonable prices and reselling them in other stores at higher prices,” Samberi said.
The hypermarket said demand for sugar has risen 400 percent compared with the average and that the sizes of individual purchases resemble what a small neighborhood retail store would buy, implying owners of mom-and-pop shops could be turning to Samberi to fill up their empty shelves.
Russians have been panicking about the prospects of food and goods shortages ever since the United States and its allies imposed punishing financial sanctions on the country after it invaded Ukraine.
Samberi is restricting the purchase of sugar, flour, buckwheat, pasta, and rice to 10 kilograms; cooking oil to 10 liters; salt to 3 kilograms; saury fish to 10 cans; baby food mix to three cans, and Pampers to five packs.
Hal Turner Editorial Opinion
I have been telling my readers and radio audience FOR MONTHS to “prep” and “stock-up” because war is coming. War over the Russia-Ukraine thing that the West fomented, facilitated and financed since 2014 when it helped overthrow the duly elected president of Ukraine. Now, we see Russians engaged in “frenzy buying” for “fear of future shortages.” THEY know war is coming. THEY know they will need long term supplies. THEY are doing something NOW, before the war hits. Are you?
Taiwanese DO NOT trust the USA!
Whoa, who would’ve guess this turn of events! Good for the people of Taiwan.
Derailed Train in Ohio was ON FIRE at least 40 minutes BEFORE Derailing
.
A Norfolk-Southern Railroad train which derailed and burned in East Palestine, OH, was shown to have one car with axles on fire at least 40 minutes BEFORE the train derailed.
Video obtained by the Pittsburgh Post Gazette newspaper, shown below, vividly shows the axles of one train car actively on fire. According to the newspaper, the location of this train relative to the derailment, proves the car was on fire a full 40 minutes before the train derailed and burned.
According to the newspaper, tracks have devices called “hot boxes” which monitor the temperature of wheels and/or train car axles, and alert the railroad if a car is overheating . . . . to avoid exactly this type of later derailment. If such an alert was generated, the train crew would have been required to halt the train immediately.
The video below begins showing the flaming axles at about 20 seconds:
After the primary fire from the derailment was put out, officials reportedly determined that a “controlled-burn” of other cars, carrying the chemical “vinyl-chloride” was the safest way to prevent an uncontrolled release of such chemicals or uncontrolled explosion. So officials reportedly engaged in a controlled burn.
The problem is that when vinyl chloride burns, it gives off other, deadly, chemicals; primarily hydrogen chloride and . . . phosgene gas.
If that last chemical name rings a bell, it should. Phosgene gas is a chemical weapon used in World War one, choking troops to death on battlefields in Europe.
Now, people living in and around East Palestine, OH are reporting severe respiratory troubles. Fish in nearby creeks and rivers are floating dead in the water. Farms with chickens are reporting all the chickens dead. Car owners are seeing chemical etching of their car paint and windows when they drive through rain or puddles from rain, in the area.
People are now talking openly that East Palestine may have to be permanently evacuated. They are also using the term “Chernobyl” to describe the exclusion zone that may have to be created.
Worse, the creeks and rivers flow into other, larger, rivers, and ultimately, to the Mississippi River.
If those local waters are so polluted that the fish are dying, what will that do to fish in the larger rivers.
Moreover, drinking water comes from those rivers for millions of people downstream.
This could be the biggest environmental disaster in US History . . . and it could have all been avoided if the train was stopped because a car axle was on fire.

Heroin Junkie Reveals The Schemes He Used To Support His Daily Habit
I’ve been addicted to opiates for about 6 years but for the past 3 years I was an IV heroin and meth addict and I got high everyday, and when I say everyday I mean everyday. (I also went to a methadone clinic) For the first year I had a good job and was able to afford it but I eventually lost my job which led me to doing all kinds of things to make money , and many I’m not proud of…I know I’m a shitty person for doing these things , and I know its wrong…I’m 5 months clean off heroin and meth so I no longer do this stuff, but I just want to tell my story on how I mostly supported my habit , some may find it interesting .
Every so often my mom would give me a little money here and there, but definitely not enough to support the habit I had , so I had to come up with ways to make it myself . The most easiest way I made money, and what I did the most , was simply driving my best friend around . I dated this girl about 6 years ago , but we figured out we were better just as friends, and we both got strung out on drugs together . She was the first person I injected drugs with . I’m 21 and she’s 28.
As we got bad off in our addiction she became a prostitute…she lived with her father in the ghetto and had 2 kids . During the day from when they got out of school and until they went to bed around 9pm she was usually at home with them, but from 9pm Until 7:00 am when they had to catch the bus, is when she worked .
I would take her on outcalls all night long , and the deal was , we keep gas in the car , keep cigarettes, and the rest goes on heroin and we split it 50/50 . She didn’t do meth , just heroin . She charged 160$ an hour , 120 for a half hour , or 80 for a q.v. 95% of the calls were q.v’s.
A q.v. stands for “quick view” and it basically means , just long enough to make the guy cum, so in most cases a q.v. only ranged from 5-15 minutes no longer. For us, it was the best deal because she could knock them out really fast , and we could get a half gram of heroin for 80$ and that was enough to start us out for the night .
If we didn’t have dope you could talk her down to 60$ for a q.v. and if we were dopesick she would do it for 40$, but that was rare…it’s definitely happened a few times , but only if we were desperate . We always mixed all the heroin up together and split it between two syringes . She usually got anywhere from 3-10 calls a night . 3 would be a slow night and 6 would be an average night , and 10+ would be a good night. Most nights we would make around 200 being the lowest, 400-600 being normal, and 1000+ being a good night . We’ve made $2000 a few nights , but that was very rare . Luckily we never had any trouble with the police, did have alot of sketchy dealings though .
I never went dope sick when I was rolling with her , we might of woke up dope sick , but it didnt stay that way for long . For some reason , people don’t do much during the day time , it would be pretty rare for her to go on a call during the day time , it was mostly always from 2am-5am. Some days she wouldn’t have good luck and we’d have to do other things .
There’s been many occasions where we would wake up sick , and have no money or anything . In those cases, I would drive my car from gas station to gas station and ask people for “gas money”. I was very good at talking to people , and selling my story…of course not everyone gives you money , but for the most part , I was always able to get what I needed . Out of all my friends , I was the best at doing this , because I’m pretty quick on my feet , I’m able to look people right in the eye and tell them a 100% bullshit story ,not stutter one word, and make them believe it…
I mostly sold the same story everytime…”I’m almost out of gas , left debit card at home , do you have 1 or 2 dollars I could have for gas , or even any change…I’m just trying to make it home, anything counts.” There’s small things you can do to ‘sell your story’ like look for change in your car while your talking to them, carry a gas jug etc. Depending on the person , the story would vary , but to make it short that’s it . I could always make 40$ in 2 hours max , but most of the time within 1 hour . That’s all we ever needed, was just 40.
If I didn’t feel like begging , (because it’s degrading), and somedays I just wasn’t up for it , I would go to Walmart . My golden rule was to never walk out with something you didn’t pay for…as long as you paid something. There is a box of vitamins in Walmart that are 34$ for one box , and there is another kind that’s the same brand name for 4$. I would peal the barcode off of the 4$ box and place it over the top of the 34$ box barcode and go to the self checkout . Hell sometimes I would go to a regular checkout…I’ve never been caught doing this.
You can return anything to Walmart without a receipt, but you must have an ID…you can get a cash refund for any item under 40$ and anything over 40$ you will get a gift card . I would buy a box for 4$ and take it to another Walmart and return it for 32$ as long as somebody had their ID…you can only do it 3x a month, but I always got a friend or somebody to return it .
If you have a receipt you don’t need an ID, so when I didn’t have an ID I would find a receipt for something around 30$ in the parking lot , go in and put a cheap barcode over the top of the items barcode, buy whatever it was for around 3$-5$ and return it with the receipt and get cash back .
If I needed a bunch of money , I would go to the fishing pole section , and get a 100$ fishing pole , and peel the barcode off of a 15$ pole , and put it over the 100$ poles barcode . Return the pole at another Walmart and get a 100$ gift card , and then go to the Walmart gas pumps , and find somebody that would pay me cash to pump their gas for them . It’s kind of lengthy , but I could earn a couple hundred bucks a day doing that .
It sounds goofy replacing the barcode , but it’s just wayy easier to get caught actually stealing something , than it is to “buy” it . I’ve done this hundreds of times and never have been caught once, but you can’t be obvious about it , and you have to be slick , or you will get caught.
We ate fast food everyday and 75% of the time we didn’t pay for it . I’d call and tell a restaurant I came last week and got such and such , and was missing one burger , and that I was coming for a replacement . I’d always tell them that I called back that same day , and talked to somebody and they wrote my name down…give them a fake name . You can only ask for one burger though…if you get greedy it won’t work.
The trick is , you have to be confident , and talk to them like it really happened…you can’t be sketchy , or iffy about it , you just have to be able to talk fast , and make them actually believe it…I was great at this…it would work 7/10 times…every time we did pay for food , we kept the receipt , so when we called and fed them the story , we could actually have a receipt and then it would definitely work. We survived off of this .
Of course we pawned all of our stuff of any value , and did a lot of middle manning , but these are just a few stories of some of our schemes that people don’t usually hear about .
I know all this is shady stuff , and I’m ashamed of it…and I know it’s wrong , but desperate times call for desperate measures…a hard drug addiction will make you do some terrible things , you’d never do in your right mind…there’s no need to comment on here and tell me I’m a piece of shit lowlife junkie , because I already know that…
I just figured a lot of people would be curious how a lot of junkies are able to make money on the streets for drugs without a job , and this is how a lot of them make it…a lot of people I know and hang around with do these same things …most of my friends like robbing houses and stealing, and robbing people for drugs, but I never liked taking things from somebody…a multi-million dollar corporation? Yeah I don’t care , but as far as breaking in a persons house and taking all their stuff, and robbing people for their dope Nah…
I’ve been ripped off before , and I’ve worked a hard labor job for almost 4 years so I know how it is to work hard for something and then have it stolen from you , and it’s the worst feeling ….I don’t do shit like that…I could easily make more money by breaking in houses and cars and robbing people for dope , or “robbing tricks” which is what a lot of prostitutes do , but I just wasn’t okay with doing that…Hope y’all enjoy.
Senator After UFO Briefing Tells Americans “Lock Your Doors Tonight”
John Neely Kennedy is an American lawyer and politician who has served as the junior United States senator from Louisiana since 2017. Today, he got a briefing about the UFO’s the military has shot down. In press remarks afterwards he tells Americans “Lock your doors tonight.”
After the past two weeks, wherein high profile US military action resulted in the shooting-down of a China Surveillance Balloon and THREE OTHER Unidentified objects, members of the US Senate received a briefing from the military about the items shot down.
According to Senator Kennedy, the only thing they seem to know is that they don’t know much. So why did the Senator end his press remarks today by telling citizens “Lock your doors tonight?”
What Edward Snowden just said about UFO’s is TERRIFYING and should concern all of us
If anybody believes the Gov there is no help for you.
Confessions Of A Former Member Of A Polygamist Cult
How many wives did you father have? How many siblings do you have?
My dad had 27 wives and I have over 200 brothers and sisters from other mothers. I’m the oldest of 11 children from my biological mother
I’ve always wondered if kids, or even fathers/other mothers, remember ALL 200+ of their siblings and their names. Don’t they just kind if blend together after a while?
My dad doesn’t know half of his kids names. When John Daniel Kingston went to court, the judge asked him to name all his kids. He couldn’t name half of them.
How do the various wives deal with their husband constantly laying down with other women? Living under the same roof while this occurs has to be borderline torturous, right?
Most of the women don’t really know their husbands very well. Even so, there is so much jealousy in my cult. One of my half moms actually tried to run over a new wife with her van, who was marrying into our family. Most of the wives only live with another wife for the first 6 months to a year after they marry into the family. Most of the women have too many children to live together anyways.
Can you tell us some stuff about the logistics of a household/ community that size? Like grocery shopping and stuff
In my home, we got our food from the garbage. We would hop in the dumpster at Smiths every Saturday night to find whatever we could eat. Then, we would buy the rest of the Order grocery store on Sunday after church.
As far as bedroom, we had 5 girls share 1 bedroom and 3 boys in another bedroom. My mom had her room and my dad had his own room even though he was never there.
My mom owned a Ford Aerostar van and we never wore seatbelts. There weren’t enough seatbelts for that many kids
How did anyone make enough money to support that many children/wives?
In my group, the men don’t financially support the wives. They own the house for the family and the woman is expected to pay rent to the man. Most of the women are on government assistance or they don’t eat.
How do they get government assistance?
They are able to claim single mother and get help from the state.
Does the father have to pay child support? In other states when a mother and children get state assistance the father must pay child support to off-set the assistance.
The women claim they don’t know who the father of their children is. They are taught to lie to the state about everything including the paternity of their children.
Wow. That is massive fraud. How is that not investigated further by the state or feds?
There’s really no way to prove it. When they tried to charge my dad with incest, he sent all his related wives out of state until the order expired.
How do the leaders square this with the group’s religious beliefs?
They believe the government is evil so it’s not a bad thing to take money and resources from them. It’s called “bleeding the beast” and most polygamous groups practice it
Do you believe that your father actually believes what the religion preaches (especially in regards to polygamy), or does he just use it as manipulation for personal gain/desire?
I think he believes in polygamy and the LDS doctrine, but I think he’s taken it and practices it in a way that just hurts people
Did your cult call themselves “Mormons”? Did they take a lot of their beliefs from that religion?
We called ourselves fundamentalist Mormons and yes, most of the doctrine is the same. We believed the LDS church fell away from God when they stopped following polygamy and consecration and that’s the reason our particular group was formed in the first place.
How do groups like this operate without attracting attention from the different authorities?
My cousin Jacob Kingston is currently in prison pending a trial for fraud and money laundering of 500 million dollars. If you google Heidi Foster, Jacob Kingston, John Daniel Kingston, David Kingston, all these people have been in prison or have had charges against them. They don’t prosecute polygamy because it’s hard to prove and it’s recently been decriminalized. (not legalized)
What was the extent of your contact with the outside world while in?
I went to a public school for kindergarten and 1st grade and then my dad pulled everyone out of school to keep outside beliefs from getting in. I went to college when I was 15, but wasn’t allowed to see anyone outside class. We were not allowed to make outside friends. The order (the cult) owns grocery stores, their own school, etc. We never had access to the outside world. Even our employment was at an Order business.
When was the first time you realized “wait a minute, something is off here?”
When I was gang raped at 6 years old.
Is that normal within the cult? Are many of the girls experiencing this?
Almost every girl I grew up with in the cult was sexually abused in some form or another. It’s more rare to find a girl who was not abused.
Could someone report the sexual abuse of children in the cult to the Dept of Social Services? Wouldn’t they have to investigate?
The problem with reporting is the statue of limitations. I was sexually abused at 14, and I didn’t know I could even report it until I was 18. By that time, it had been 4 years and the statue of limitations had expired. I’ve reported abuse for my siblings, but they are so afraid of the outside world that they won’t cooperate with an investigation
How do people in the cult come to terms with child abuse, domestic violence, etc that go on?
In a cult, you are taught that the law doesn’t matter. God’s law is higher and the leaders determine God’s law.
Was there one person in particular that was the voice of reason and persuaded you to get out? If you can talk about them without worrying about outing them of course.
When I was about 16, I started sneaking out to go to a martial arts class. My sensei would listen to my crazy ideas and then debate with me about them. He would research my questions and help me see things from an outside perspective. The more I questioned my belief system, the more I realized the religion was abusive and wrong
What was the last straw for you to actually make the decision to leave?
My dad sat me down on my 16th birthday and told me I had to get married. I knew I was leaving about that point even if I couldn’t admit it to anyone yet
How old was the cousin they had arranged for you to marry?
I had a choice between a first cousin and a second cousin. 1st cousin was 19 (I was 17). 2nd cousin was 27 (I was 16)
Was your cousin into the idea of you two ending up together?
Yes, he cried when I told him we weren’t getting married
Why were those your two choices, why not one of the few thousand other people that weren’t related to you? Do they not know that marrying close relatives can result in so many issues with reproduction?
Getting married is a business transaction. You are given to a man as payment for something else (money, a business, strengthen family ties, etc.)
Are members concerned about genetic issues due to first cousins marrying? Did you see a lot of genetic problems within the community?
They have recently started genetically testing people before they get married due to the high birth defect rate in recent years. This was not a thing when I was there though
How exactly did you escape? What was the plan and how did you follow through with it? (Housing, money, running away, food, etc)
One night, when I was 17, I packed my photo album, journals, and some clothes in the back of my car and I disappeared. I was homeless for a month, before I found a friend who allowed me to stay with him. When I contacted my family, they brainwashed me into coming back. When I was 18, I left again. I stayed with a boyfriend’s parents while I waited tables and struggled through college.
You had a car/had access to a car?
I had a car because I threatened to turn my father into the authorities if he didn’t allow me to spend my money to get a car. It was much easier to leave after I was 18. I was able to legally be free of my parents.
How did you get money for it?
I had been employed since I was 11 years old. I was not allowed to spend any of the money I made. I ended up leaving most of my money in the cult after I left because I couldn’t prove it was mine.
Have they tried to reach out and get you back into the cult? And were they accepting of your wish to leave or did they try to stop you?
They tried to get me back into the cult for the first 2 years after I left. They finally gave up after I tried to help the authorities arrest my dad
Were you shunned when you left? Are your siblings technically not allowed to speak to you?
When I left, I was definitely shunned. I was not allowed to see or speak to any of my siblings. When I showed up on my little sister’s birthday to give her a present, my mom called the cops on me for trespassing. It was very difficult when I left. The only thing I could do, is assure my brothers and sisters that I was there for them in any way I could be. I’m the oldest of 11, so I raised most of them while my mom worked 2 jobs. Eventually most of the older ones reached out to me, even though none of them have had the courage to leave the group. I’m currently close to 3 of my full siblings, though our relationship has stayed secret
I’m really curious about the mothers and children on why they stay. Especially your mom calling the cops. Is it simply brain washed? Are they told lies about the outside word? Are they happy with that life style?
They really are brainwashed into believing the Order is everything. I’ve tried so hard to have a relationship with my mother, but it’s impossible because she will always put the cult before everything else, including her children. It breaks my heart
What do you feel is the worst part of your upbringing? Do you see any benefits to your upbringing?
The worst part of my upbringing is the extremely traumatic physical and sexual abuse. Also the brainwashing.
I guess the benefits would have to be: I graduated high school at 14 because I wasn’t allowed to go to a real school. I had to do an online distance program. Also, I learned a lot about running a business. My dad was a lawyer so I learned a lot about the law too
What was the biggest “WTF. that’s not true” realization you had regarding the FLDS teachings after leaving?
My family is very racist and we were taught that African American people had an extra bone in their body because they were descended from a monkey. I felt so stupid when I voiced that belief lol
But what was the extra bone?
The extra bone was in the leg. This allowed them to jump higher
So, is it like just one extra bone? Or an extra bone per leg?
One extra bone
So they believe in evolution?
They claim they don’t. Most of their beliefs contradict each other though
How are you doing now? What have you been up to now?
I’m pretty boring now haha. I have PTSD and Bipolar 2, which comes from the PTSD and I’m in therapy and on medication to deal with that. I’m hoping to be off medication in the next 2 years.
I’ve been running a licensed home daycare for the past 5 years, and I’m 3 classes away from a bachelor’s degree in business management. I have kids and a husband whom I’m pretty happy with. (yes it’s the same husband I write about in my book lol).
I love writing and I love fitness.
What has been the hardest part of raising your children differently than you were raised?
Because I have a licensed daycare, I am required by the state to take child training classes. (20+ hours a year.) These classes have been my lifeline in raising my own children, because I didn’t have a blueprint to take with me. Even if my mother and I were on good terms, I would never trust her to care for my children.
Have you found it difficult to maintain relationships on the outside after growing up in such an environment? Have you done any kind of therapy to adjust?
After I left the cult, I became very promiscuous and actually avoided relationships. When I met my husband, he encouraged me to go to therapy. I have been in therapy for about 3 years
What part of mainstream life do you think we who have never been in a cult wouldn’t realize how close it is to cultlike behavior?
lol I’m still trying to figure out mainstream life haha. I would probably have to say consumerism. We really don’t need 98% of the things we buy
Ae you related to the girls who do Escaping Polygamy?
They are all my first cousins. Shanell and I are actually still very close
Is that show fairly accurate? I’ve always wondered if it was all scripted or not
It’s actually pretty scripted. I think only a couple of the escapes have actually been real time
Have you read/heard of “Under the Banner of Heaven” by Jon Krakauer, and if so, how accurate is its portrayal of Rulon and Warren?
Yes I have read Under the Banner of Heaven. I really enjoyed the book and found it very accurate. I’ve recommended it to many people who have been curious about my backround
How have your beliefs in religion changed after you left?
I don’t believe in organized religion at all. I do like the idea of spirituality though.
