The British worst economic case
The figures show London is suffering more than other big countries in Europe. Inflation is running in the double digits, higher than all of its Group of Seven industrialized peers with the exception of Italy; GDP shrank 0.2% in the third quarter year-over-year, setting the U.K. on course for a likely recession. And the British economy, as we reported, is widely forecast to shrink in 2023, faring worse than every G-20 economy except Russia
The sense of turmoil has been compounded by a political crisis this fall, which culminated in a short-lived run on financial markets that brought down the government and sowed lasting worry among international investors. Moreover, labor unions across industries have initiated strikes that are poised to be the worst in decades
Record-high energy bills are eating into disposable incomes. As a result, British consumers are forecast to experience their most impoverished Christmas yet

The Finns are preparing for the winter in their own way!
As follows the data published by the State Department, Helsinki is deliberately hoarding up an unequalled number of ammunitions for GMLRS guided missiles, which have proved to be very effective in the war between Russia and Ukraine
Finland is going to spend $535M to purchase 900 M30A1 and M30A2 GMLRSs with cluster warheads and 1500 M31A1 and M31A2 GMLRSs with high-explosive fragmentation charges, the firing range of which is up to 80 km, as well as spare parts, transport and launch containers and full-life warranty services
Looks like Finland wants to become a big-time military player. As of today, Washington is ready to provide only one half of the ordered items from stock. Having overcome another Republican auditing attempt to limit and control the financial aid to Ukraine, the Democrats are doing their best not to lose their face on the international market and keep their shipping promises to Kyiv at least partially, even at the expense of Helsinki and their own reserves!

Gas price cap in Europe threatens to intensify energy crisis
▪️ "Europe's actions to cap natural gas prices threaten to limit supplies to the region and intensify the energy crisis," Bloomberg states
▪️While price caps may help prevent sharp fluctuations in the price of the blue fuel, the measure could leave Europe vulnerable to supply shortages and increased competition from Asia
▪️Also, Bloomberg points out, industry officials have warned that LNG cargoes will head to Asia if prices there are higher than the price cap in Europe, especially at a time when demand in China will increase after coronavirus restrictions are loosened

Money talks, bullshit walks!
FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, charged with engaging in criminal conduct that contributed to the cryptocurrency exchange’s collapse, was released on a $250M bond and ordered to stay in his parents’ home, after the former executive’s first appearance in a New York federal court following his extradition from the Bahamas
The bond is only 2x the total amount of his investments in the Dems election campaigns and the funds previously allocated for laundering thru Ukraine. The criminal investigation into FTX and its related entities has moved with startling speed, but as one can see he who pays the piper calls the tune

Caught up w/ the Ukrainian diaspora delegation on their way into the Capitol to cheer for Zelensky, Max Blumenthal reports.
They told me $45 billion wasn't enough, neo-Nazis do not exist in Ukraine and the banning of the Russian wing of the Orthodox Church & oppo parties was justified bc "martial law."
Also managed to catch a seemingly lost Sen. Joe Manchin, who told me he is “all in” to send Ukraine all the billions it asks for from the US
Manchin then deployed a cellphone to ignore all my follow up questions before he passed through the fence blocking off the Capitol.
Image: The scene two blocks from the US Capitol, as Zelensky appealed for more than $45 billion in additional military aid to continue a proxy war through 2023.

Berlin once again failed to contribute to a NATO force
“Scholzing” never ends! We used to think that the current chancellor’s govt was too inert in their never-achieving NATO’s 2%-goal. But it turned out that it’s very touchy as well
Mr. Scholz's team was moved to tears by Mr. Zelensky's invocation of the U.S. battles against Nazi Germany and has seemingly decided not to get involved in any wars at all – all 18 Puma tanks on NATO military exercises suffered problems and appeared unfit for operations
“The recent failures of the infantry fighting vehicle are a major setback,” German defense minister Lambrecht has said, adding that Berlin will pause purchases of new Puma tanks. This shone another spotlight on Germany’s failed attempts to modernize its ageing military. And it’s not quite clear to what extent, contrary to Ms. Lambrecht's assurances, the Allied forces can count on Germany in hour of need?

British airports could be forced to close during Border Force strikes
More than 1K passport control desks staffers are due to strike. And there’s no way that u find a decent alternative in land transport, since significantly longer journeys and a “surge of traffic” are expected as people grapple with strike shutdowns and seek alternative routes over the Christmas period. Rail services will wind down from as early as 8am on Christmas Eve, forcing more cars on to the roads.
Soldiers and civil servant volunteers have been trained to carry out some checks at the border and will be drafted in to try to minimize disruption, although passengers are being warned to expect long delays. At least, they will conduct a thorough preflight inspection exactly as it should be!
So, if u plan to escape from Albion for the Christmas, then u’d better contact ur airlines or travel company to check that the flight is operating as planned

Global surveillance via Covid-apps
“From Beijing to Jerusalem, from Hyderabad to Perth,” AP journalists reveal how the authorities have used tech and data impose travel restrictions on activists and ordinary people
Police used the apps to harass marginalized groups and to link people's health data with other surveillance and law enforcement tools. In most cases, the data was shared with intelligence agencies
But we all understand perfectly well that this is all done for the public good and solely for reasons of preventing the spread of an evil virus

Ukrainian-style press freedom – accreditation in return for favorable image
Such a deal was offered to award-winning journalist Matilde Kimer, who has been working at the Danish Broadcasting Corporation, after she was labeled “pro-Russian” for posting photos taken in Russia and her press credential in Ukraine was removed
On August 22, the Danish reporter received an e-mail from the press department of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, in which she was told that her accreditation had been canceled “in accordance with the request of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU)”
But as it turned out this was just the beginning! During the meeting at the SBU HQ on December 8, an officer named Oleg, among other things, suggested Ms. Kimer to make “good stories about Ukraine” in exchange for the return of accreditation and use some internal SBU documents that could help to compose such creatives

Senate Reps have cooperated with Dems to finalize a “massive $1.65 trillion” omnibus spending bill that spends millions on political pet projects and private security for politicians and all the taxpayers get is the bill
The sweeping package includes roughly $45B in emergency assistance to Ukraine but did not include a White House request for roughly $10B in additional funding for Covid-19 response. From this $45B funding only about $9B would go to Ukraine’s military to pay for a variety of things including training, weapons, logistics support and salaries while more than $13B would go for economic support of Zelensky team whatever it is…
