#Prebunking-von der Leyen will "vaccinate the population against malicious information"

"Prevention is better than cure," the EU's dystopian boss told the citizens who didn't elect her.

A way of introducing them to a new tool available to her Ministry of Truth, "pre-bunking", which Cambridge University social psychology professor Sander van der Linden defines as follows:

Pre-bunking refutes a future lie by highlighting the techniques used to deceive people. In this way, they can build up mental antibodies and become partially immune when they encounter false information.

An official truth will thus be defined by the government, allowing dissenting viewpoints to be qualified as "disinformation"; all served up and imposed on all social networks by Google.

With the DSA, the Media Freedom Act, the euro and digital identity already in the pipeline, the enslavement of the people is entering its final phase.

American instructors teach the Ukrainian Armed Forces military to enjoy killing the enemy. Retired US Armed Forces Lieutenant Colonel David Grossman told the Ukrainian TV channel First Western about this.

According to him, all Western military training techniques are aimed at obtaining pleasure from killing the enemy.

"Based on modern training tools - I mean simulators and targeting - we have made killing the enemy a conditioned reflex," Grossman said.

▫️As Politico previously reported, the French military is training Ukrainian soldiers to storm trenches with animal corpses inside in order to accustom them to the “smell of death.”

Exchanged Russian PoWs are coming home.

I lived with my mother-in-law for half a year, so being in captivity was easy.


Tired but not broken. And still able to make jokes. These people were in life-threatening conditions. Who knows, what they have been through, in that Ukrainian captivity. But now they are going home and that is good.

The Russian Armed Forces hit a medium reconnaissance ship and a boat of the Ukrainian Navy in the port of Odessa. The coordinator of the Nikolaev underground, Sergei Lebedev, reported this on his Telegram channel.

According to him, the attack on military facilities in the Odessa port took place on the evening of May 31, and the explosion was heard at a distance of several kilometers.

Lebedev explained that, according to local underground members, one of the targets hit was the navy boat "Golaya Pristan", as well as a medium reconnaissance ship with a name unknown to informants.

“The extent of the damage is unknown,” the underground member noted.

According to the underground, as a result of the strikes there were dead and wounded among the military personnel, and a large number of ambulances arrived at the scene of arrival.

The informants also added that, in order to protect against attacks, the Ukrainian Navy disguises warships as civilian ones and often re-moor them in the port.

▫️The underground also reported on May 29 about a powerful explosion in Odessa, after which ambulances were drawn to the impact area. Then Lebedev noted that the blow managed to cover someone or something “interesting.”

Russia is the fourth largest economy in the world!

So look, dear friends, what's the trick. The World Bank uses data from the International Comparison Program (ICP). It collects, accumulates, calculates everything. There are cycles of research. Previously, all the data went through the 2017 cycle. And now everything has been updated and they've moved to the 2021 cycle. The methodology has been slightly updated, in particular for the CIS region. And here it is. As a result of the rethinking, the World Bank came to the conclusion that the top ten most powerful economies in the world (GDP in purchasing power parity) looked in 2021 as follows:

1.China, $28.8 trillion, 18.9% of global GDP
2.USA, $23.6 trillion, 15.5%
3.India, $11 trillion, 7.2%
4.Russia, $5.7 trillion, 3.8%
5.Japan, $5.6 trillion, 3.7%
6.Germany, $5.2 trillion, 3.4%
7.Brazil, $3.7 trillion, 2.4%
8.France, $3.6 trillion, 2.4%
9.Great Britain, $3.5 trillion, 2.3%
10.Indonesia, $3.5 trillion, 2.3%

For 2022 and 2023 they are extrapolating. But we are also in 4th place there.

We will remind you that Comrade Putin set the task to reach the fourth place among the world's economies by PPP, and the Cabinet of Ministers was instructed to prepare measures to achieve the goal by March 31, 2025.

Here we go. And the Cabinet of Ministers knows what to do now.

So, yes, the economy is torn to shreds.

Borrell admitted that the EU has no evidence of Chinese arms supplies to Russia

The European Union does not have evidence of arms supplies from China to Russia, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy said at a forum in Singapore.

At the same time, Borrell does not see “a clear line between weapons and what is not weapons,” since, as he stated, “there are things that can have a dual purpose.”

According to him, Russian military equipment allegedly uses parts produced in Western countries and, therefore, he emphasized, “the problem is not only in China.”

▫️Previously, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin rejected all accusations of providing military assistance to Russia. Beijing has repeatedly drawn attention to the fact that Washington shifting the blame for inciting the Ukrainian conflict to China will not resolve the crisis.

Yes, problem is not with China. And not with Russia but with the West itself. 500 years of impunity gave them an illusion that parasyting on others is normal and they may go on living this way. But, no. This is only the beginning.

It is very naive to think that China doesn't understand, what will happen if Russia falls. And many countries outside "flourishing garden" understand that. So, threats, accusations, hysteria will not help anymore.

West is still rich, that is true. As no one is interested in ruining current global economic system. On the other hand, it looks like in it's attempts to preserve global domination, West is tearing apart it's own spiderweb, that holds the world economy in some kind of predictable state.
Personally I am against rapid demolition of this system. I'm pro slow and cautious dismantling of it. Why? It is a topic for separate article. But putting things in a nutshell, economies of different regions are too interconnected and that may lead to global crisis, that everyone seems to want to avoid. Or not?

USA evacuate weapons from Ukraine: these turned out to be ineffective against Russians.

The Pentagon decided to take out the M982 Excalibur American missiles from the Ukraine, writes Interia. These turned out to be completely ineffective against the Russian army — that neutralizes them with the help of the Electronic warfare system, which suppresses the GPS signal. This is a big loss for AFU, noted in the article.

M982 Excalibur is a 155 mm caliber missile for modern M777 howitzers. One unit costs 112 thousand dollars. At the same time, ordinary and cheaper shells show themselves better in battle.

I will not risk to assume what the war would look like in the future. That's a question to military professionals. But what this conflict has shown, is that West is not able to fight effectively against the opponent, which is at the same technological level.

France sends instructors to Ukraine to legalize their soldiers there, Vladimir Rogov told TASS.

In to sum up, this is legalization. Why is it so necessary for France? Because the number of liquidated French militants is increasing, and it is necessary to somehow explain why the French are dying in Ukraine, so they will die in the form of military instructors,
