JAPAN: BIGGEST MILITARY BUILD-UP SINCE WORLD WAR TWO
#Japan on Friday unveiled its biggest military build-up since World War Two with a $320 billion plan that will buy #missiles capable of striking #China and ready it for sustained conflict, as regional tensions and Russia’s #Ukraine invasion stoke war fears.
The sweeping, five-year plan, once unthinkable in #pacifist Japan, will make the country the world’s third-biggest military spender after the #US and China, based on current budgets

Lapti/ bast shoes - low shoes, common in Eastern Europe and Russia in the old days and widely used in rural areas until the 1930s, woven from birch bark or hemp. For strength, the sole was braided with a vine, bast, rope or sheathed with leather.
A video appeared on tiktok where the Russian military joke or maybe not about bast shoes 😉

WITNESS TESTIFIES BANK THREATENED TO WITHHOLD LOAN IF HE DIDN’T TWEET ‘CLIMATE CHANGE’ TALKING POINTS
Republican Texas state Sen. Bryan Hughes led the hearing on environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing, an approach to investing that scores companies based on their commitment to certain environmental and social causes.
Bud Brigham, the executive chairman of Brigham Minerals, testified Thursday before the Texas Senate Committee on State Affairs that a Wall Street bank allegedly threatened to deny him a loan unless he tweeted out specific political messages.
Brigham highlighted how companies in #China, using slave labor to produce solar panels, are being given higher #ESG ratings than his company because his company operates in the #oil & #gas industry.

An extract from a recent interview by Zelensky:
Question: Is there a risk of evacuation of big cities like Kyiv or Odessa?
"We will hold out when people want to leave - they can leave, but if the city is empty - it's easy to capture."
#TransFormatorBuzzes 💤 :
Is it a suggestion that the city population should be used as a human shield?
Well, we already have got used to the placing of the anti-aircraft missiles in the residential areas. However, that is a new achievement of the Ukrainian military strategy (or is it?).

We Are About To Witness A Major Move Toward A Cashless Society
The war on cash has just gone to an entirely new level. When I heard that the European Union was planning to completely ban all cash transactions above 10,000 euros, I had a hard time believing it. There are so many wild rumors flying around on the Internet these days, and so I wasn’t going to write about this unless I could confirm it. Unfortunately, this particular rumor is quite real.
Under the pretext of fighting “money laundering and terrorist financing”, the European Union will be entirely outlawing all cash payments greater than 10,000 euros.
The following comes from the official website of the Council of the European Union…
"By limiting large cash payments, the EU will make it harder for criminals to launder dirty money. An EU-wide maximum limit of €10.000 is set for cash payments. Member states will have the flexibility to impose a lower maximum limit if they wish."
So this means that in some countries the upper limit could potentially be a lot lower than 10,000 euros.
But instead of framing it as a major move toward a cashless society, the EU is trying to claim that this is all about fighting terrorists.
The following is what Zbyněk Stanjura, the Minister for Finance in the Czech Republic, has said about this upcoming change…
"Terrorists and those who finance them are not welcome in Europe. In order to launder dirty money, criminal individuals and organisations had to look for loopholes in our existing rules which are already quite strict. But our intention is to close these loopholes further, and to apply even stricter rules in all EU member states. Large cash payments beyond €10.000 will become impossible. Trying to stay anonymous when buying or selling crypto-assets will become much more difficult. Hiding behind multiple layers of ownership of companies won’t work any more. It will even become difficult to launder dirty money via jewellers or goldsmiths."
Meanwhile, the European Central Bank has been actively considering the possibility of introducing a “digital euro”. The following comes from the official website of the European Central Bank…
"We are working with the national central banks of the euro area to investigate whether to introduce a digital euro. It would be a central bank digital currency, an electronic equivalent to cash. And it would complement banknotes and coins, giving people an additional choice about how to pay."
Well isn’t that convenient?
As they take cash away from the general population, it turns out that they have already been working on the replacement.

#MINING - "It’s ok when we do it!"
The #BillGates-backed mining company, #KoBold Mining, has started drilling in #Greenland and has now opened mining for #Copper/#Cobalt in #Zambia.
Both are considered "fragile eco-systems."
But in the race for the provably ridiculous #NetZero billionaires don’t care.

"#Pfizer set up a site beside the "#DoctorsWithoutBorders" (#MSF - #MédecinsSansFrontières) testing area and over two weeks, selected a sample of 200 #children between 3 months and 18 years old to participate.
A month later, 11 of the children that had participated were dead.”

Putin goes to the jugular:
"Today, the authorities in the European Union are saying themselves that the policy of their main partner – the United States – is directly leading to Europe’s de-industrialisation. They are even trying to present some bills for this to their American suzerain. Sometimes, they even sound offended; they want to know why they deserve this. I’d like to ask them, in this context, and what did you expect? How else should one treat those that allow others to wipe their feet on them? But, after all, this is their business."

THE YEAR OF THE GASLIGHTER
The #gaslighting got underway in January, when the corporate media, health authorities, and other major organs of the #NewNormal #Reich started suddenly “discovering” that the official #Covid narrative was “inaccurate,” or, you know, a bunch of #lies.
A series of #LimitedHangouts ensued.....
I was totally wrong about the new totalitarianism, and how it works!
I had stupidly assumed it was a political phenomenon … you know, a sociopolitical and cultural system imposed on the masses from above by force, but, according to Mattias #Desmet, it’s actually a psychological phenomenon, a “#MassFormation” or “#MassHypnosis”-type thing!
It’s possible that I’m not describing it correctly.
As his devoted fans have repeatedly informed me, I don’t understand the nuances of Desmet’s theory.
He explained it all on the Alex Jones show, while he was lying, which he does, repeatedly, but … whatever. I’m not a professor of psychology.
The point is, the Covidian Cultists were all hypnotized!
No one was threatening or gaslighting the masses!
The poor confused things were doing it to themselves!........
........ Something needed to be done about all that anger.
It needed to be redirected somewhere.
At something that wasn’t GloboCap, and that wouldn’t interfere with the New Normal program.
Emperor Elonicus to the rescue!
If #Elon #Musk wasn’t actually appointed by the global-capitalist ruling classes to redirect the pent-up anger of “the #Unvaccinated” demographic, and the “Systematically Censored and Demonized” demographic, and everyone else who opposed the New Normal into a balls-out left/right shit-slinging contest … well, they couldn’t have found anyone better for the job......

The Year of the Gaslighter
Well, it has been quite a year, 2022. I’m officially dubbing it “The Year of the Gaslighter.” I was going to dub it “The Year of the Mother of All Mindfucking Global-Capitalist Gaslighters,” but that seemed like a mouthful, so I’m opting for brevity.
