Jeffrey #Epstein's Little Black Book, Unredacted

PCR (not the test):

"I am beginning to think that the Kremlin is even more insouciant than the American public. How can the Kremlin be unaware that Washington is operating against Russia on all fronts? How could the Kremlin not expect Washington to brew trouble in Kosovo? And between the EU and Serbia? And trouble in the former Central Asian Soviet Republics? And in former Soviet Georgia? And in the Baltics?

And Putin is cruising along with hardly a skeleton for an army. What does Putin do when Georgia has another run at South Ossetia while Russia’s limited forces are deployed in Ukraine? When the CIA- organized Albanians begin slaughtering Serbs in northern Kosovo? When conflicts erupt in former Russian Central Asia?

How can Russia be left so unprepared when Putin acknowledges that it is Washington’s intent to destroy Russia?" https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2022/12/13/is-the-kremlin-out-to-lunch/

VANGUARD QUITS CARBON-REDUCTION PACT AMID POLITICAL PRESSURE

The worlds largest Asset Management firm #Vanguard ( $8Trillion Dollars AUM) said it is leaving the #NetZero Asset Managers initiative, an international #carbon-reduction pact

In late November, 13 state attorneys general filed a motion with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission asking it to block Vanguard’s attempt to purchase larger quantities of stock in public utilities. 

But an increasing backlash among Republicans and the fossil-fuel industry has sought to cast #ESG investing—particularly the “E”—as a “woke” exercise in virtue signaling, or as something even more cynical.

Recent attacks on ESG investing, including moves by #Florida and #Texas to block state pension funds from investing in companies and funds engaged in ESG strategies.

Last month, the attorney general of #Kentucky launched an investigation into #Vanguard and #StateStreet Bank, suggesting that their ESG strategies could violate the state’s consumer protection laws.

EU'S OIL PRICE CAP IS "SIMPLY MORONIC", CHINA AND INDIA ARE ALREADY FILLING GAPS

The #EU and the #US went forward with their long-debated, long-telegraphed move to put a price cap on #Russian #oil at $60 per barrel.

By believing they can pressure suppliers into not hauling Russian oil lest they run afoul of the sanctions that support the price cap, they believe they can take only Russian oil off the market for the long run.

Because of the way oil is actually traded in the real world, versus the way it trades in Janet Yellen’s head, this policy is actually much harder to implement than it actually looks.

You don’t buy oil at the crude oil counter at Target or Wal-Mart.

Janet #Yellen may be stupid, but she’s not that stupid.

She knows what this price cap she’s championed will do. 

So, as always, with these people the question you shouldn’t be asking isn’t, “Will this work?” or “How will Russia respond?” but rather, “Is this the point of the exercise?”

If everyone involved knows that price floors and price ceilings always and without fail create production shortages, then why did they do this when the world clearly need more oil?

Because this is a feature of the policy, not a bug.

By doing this, like every other intervention into oil delivery since the start of the war in Ukraine, the goal was to take Russia’s supply offline and hope that other producers would see the opportunity to take market share from the evil Russians while simultaneously trying to push capital investment into competing energy technologies — like nuclear, hydrogen and unicorn farts

Since #Patriot Missile systems are essentially useless as a modern #AirDefence system most people would be tempted to answer "No!" to the question posed above:

"Will US Patriot missiles really be a game changer in Ukraine?"

However:

While it's fun to dump on the Patriot missile system it would be wise to remember that the Patriot is a mobile missile launch system.

#Missiles and #Warheads are relatively easy to swapout.

So the #US could place a missile launch system, under their control, operated by their own crews, minutes flight time from #Moscow.

The #Ukraine is a big country and those mobile missile launchers can easily hide.

If the US had tried this last January it would have a political shitstorm  but today it's "just another escalation in the Ukraine war."

Since February they've had Russian speaking special forces infiltrate Russia.

US satellites overhead and #NATO surveillance aircraft skirting Russia's borders.

Now add Nuke missiles in Ukraine, under direct US control

Just sayin'.🤷‍♂

🇩🇪🇷🇺❄️ Germans are coming to Kaliningrad to winter over high housing and utility prices

Kaliningrad regional governor Anton Alikhanov said:

"We had a conversation with a particular German. We asked what are you doing here, and he said - and we are coming to you to winter".

😏 Renting a flat and paying utility bills for four months in Kaliningrad is like one in Dusseldorf, Germany.

#US DEMOCRATIC PARTY REPRESENTATIVE FOR CALIFORNIA SAYS THAT THE WORD "#PEDOPHILE" IS "DISCRIMINATORY"

Rep. Katie #Porter (D-CA) says that the terms "groomer and pedophile allege that a person is criminal somehow merely because of their sexual orientation and #gender identity"

She will probably deny it, but she appears to be claiming that Pedophilia is merely a "sexual orientation".

#USA The F-35B Lightning II fifth-generation fighter incident at Air Force Base in Texas

An abnormal situation occurred while performing a vertical landing. The pilot ejected, although there was no apparent reason for this.

#TransFormatorBuzzes 💤 :
It is already the second occasion recently of the forward wheel of of the undercarriage "folding in". Something is certainly wrong with this aircraft. As for the ejection, there was a recent footage of Russian Su-25 landing without any undercarriage at all. The pilot risked his life to save the aircraft.

MASSIVE INCREASE IN GREENLAND SURFACE ICE SHEET SUGGESTS POSSIBLE OVERALL GAIN IN 2022

#Greenland gains ice from September to around June each year.

Surface losses therefore only occur during the short summer, and this year that season was cold and snowy.

The summer was said to have been brought to a stop in mid-August with a 20 billion-tonne snow dump on the south of the island.

According to a report on the Electroverse website, this summer chimed with recent years and was characterised by “several monstrous, record-smashing snowfall events”.

Fresh snow is noted to reflect sunlight better, and as a result the onset of melting on the ice sheet was two-and-a-half weeks later than normal.

None of this was particularly unusual.

It’s called #weather.

A couple of thousand miles to the east, the U.K. had a pleasant and at times hot summer.

Two days were very hot, causing a feverish Piers Morgan to tell his TV audience that “we are heading for an apocalypse”. It is also called weather.
