According to a popular view, states covered by the U.S. “nuclear umbrella” was protected by U.S. nuclear weapons, but against whom was the U.S. to launch these weapons? The U.S. could not launch them against the Soviet Union and later Russia without risking a Russian nuclear counterattack on the United States. During the Cold War, the U.S. “nuclear umbrella” presupposed the existence of the Warsaw Pact states that could be targeted by U.S. nuclear weapons.
An important point [was] that the target selection during WINTEX – for the use of nuclear weapons in the East – was always done [by the Americans]. That was an American prerogative. So, the target selection never touched Russian territory. Never. Why? Implicitly, it is very clear because the Americans knew that from the moment, they hit Russian territory, it is going to come back against American territory, in the United States.
Today, there is no Warsaw Pact. We have an extended Western Europe, and the U.S. tactical nuclear weapons would, if used, be used in Europe, not against Russia, because a U.S. nuclear strike against Russia would immediately be followed by a Russian nuclear strike on the United States.
...There does not seem to be any credible option for Western powers to use nuclear weapons in a war with Russia.

On February 20, 2026, a “Flamingo” long-range cruise missile hit the Votkinsk Machine Building Plant, a defense enterprise located in Russia’s Udmurt Republic—more than 1300 km from the border with Ukraine.
Moscow has very clear protocols for responding to these types of attacks: Russian state media publishes a comment from Scott Ritter about how it’s not a big deal and Ukraine is about to collapse anyway.

💉🐀As a veteran activist of the anti lockdown movement in 2020 and calling out the 💩 from the start, there’s a few things I learned about the pattern of their virus and pandemic propaganda:
1) They do two things to start with, put out news articles hyping up the danger of contagion while simultaneously putting out factual information that tells people it’s not contagious or a very low risk of contagion and that people reported as victims are in fact deaths from other causes.
2) Reassure the public that it’s very unlikely to turn into a large pandemic or crisis, while the media prints fear porn 24/7.
3) Start putting out escalating and false or manipulated death statistics, while still claiming its’s not a big deal while the media builds the momentum of fear to validate coming restrictions to our civil liberties with the public.
4) Start talking about potential vaccines as a carrot of ‘hope’ being dangled to an increasingly fearful public.
5) Wear people down with constant ever spiraling controls that they then see jabs or digital solutions (remember health passports that were really digital id) as the way back to normal.
This clever process of cognitive dissonance and inducing fear and then hope, locks people in .
Don’t be sucked in again.

Stupidity is not the same as ignorance. An ignorant person is one who lacks knowledge or information. We are all born ignorant, and become less so as we gradually acquire knowledge from our experiences and education. Ignorance is a quality we will always have to varying degrees, for the very simple reason that nobody can know everything about everything.
Stupidity, however, is not a lack of knowledge but a willful and stubborn resistance to knowledge. It is not an intellectual failure, but a moral one. As Dietrich Bonhoeffer argued, “There are human beings who are of remarkably agile intellect yet stupid, and others who are intellectually quite dull yet anything but stupid” (Bonhoeffer, 1951). Ignorance can be addressed through instruction, but stupidity cannot.
Stupidity is more dangerous than evil because it makes one immune to reason, vulnerable to manipulation, and unwittingly complicit in malice. An evil person is not necessarily deprived of autonomy. They think and act deliberately, aware of the harm they are inflicting. They can be reasoned against, exposed, or even prevented through force. A stupid person, however, is a puppet in the hands of a greater master, a “mindless tool, capable of any evil and at the same time incapable of seeing that it is evil” (Bonhoeffer, 1951).

Whitney Webb has done the most extensive research into Palantir.
According to investigative journalist Whitney Webb, Palantir is "the new Jeffrey Epstein".
"If they want to blackmail you... they just access what Palantir sucked up about you—your search history, your communications, your finances, tweets you've liked in the past, all sorts of things."
"You don't really need Epstein in the surveillance era."
"The disturbing thing about Palantir is that it's really about pre-crime. They were the pioneers of predictive policing."
"Palantir is the resurrection of [a] DARPA program called Total Information Awareness—that was so scandalous when it was announced it was defunded by Congress."
"But then they realised that if they turned it into a private company, no one would complain."
"And that's how we got Palantir."

The CIA is getting rid of their drug competitors in Mexico, at the same time also destabilizing the country.
Since last year, CIA operatives inside Mexico have directly participated in deadly attacks on several, mostly mid-level cartel members, the sources said. “The lethality of their operations has been seriously ramped up,” said one of the people briefed on the operations. “It’s a significant expansion of the kind of thing the CIA has been willing to do inside Mexico.”
the agency’s covert activity inside Mexico goes far beyond those few cases that attracted international attention and involves much more direct participation, sources told CNN.
The strategy, the sources said, is to dismantle entire cartel networks, which involves not only removing those at the very top but also identifying vulnerabilities throughout the organization and systematically targeting lower-tier players who serve as key cogs in the trafficking enterprise.
The operations may also be illegal under Mexican law — without the express permission of the federal government, foreign agents are barred from participating in law enforcement operations under the Mexican Constitution.

Britain's state-run National Health Service (NHS) is granting staff from companies including Palantir "unlimited access" to identifiable patient data while working on its flagship National Data Integration Tenant (NDIT) platform, the Financial Times reported on Monday.
Palantir is legally designated as a "data processor", while its customers are "data controllers", meaning its software can process data only in line with customer instructions, a spokesperson for the firm said.
Any other use would be illegal and technically impossible due to access controls overseen by the NHS, the spokesperson added.
