Independence Declaration Day


In a now deleted Tweet the US Pacific fleet wished everyone a Happy Independence Day with a cool graphic featuring Russian made Su-27 fighters and a silhouette of a Russian ship against a sunset. Too bad the internet is forever.




The Supreme Court of the United States Ruled:







56 brave souls signed the declaration of independence.


-Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died.

-Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. -Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured.

-Nine fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war.


"What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.

Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.

Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.

Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.

At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.

Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.

John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.

Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: ‘For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’”

The US Secret Service, which guards the country's leadership, is studying how a white powder, presumably cocaine, ended up on the White House grounds on Sunday


This was reported by The Washington Post newspaper, citing service representative Anthony Guglielmi and sources.





A recent poll on support for seceding from the U.S. is a tale of two coasts.


The poll, released by Bright Line Watch Wednesday, showed 66% of Republicans in the South supported leaving the U.S. and forming a new country. Those sentiments were shared by 50% of independents and 20% of Democrats.


Overall, support for leaving the Union among Southern states – listed as Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina – was 44%.


On the other coast, the highest level of support for seceding from the U.S. was in the western U.S., where 47% of Democrats backed secession, compared to 33% of independents and 27% of Republicans. Overall, the Pacific area – including Alaska, California, Oregon, Hawaii and Washington state – was at 39%.


Secession support in the Northeast (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia) was 34% compared to the Mountain area (Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico ) at 32% and the Heartland (Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, and Nebraska) at 30%.







Deadline to make the counter-offensive work: Next week. July 11.


Zelensky said that the AFU "must show results" on the battlefield before the NATO summit in Vilnius (July 11-12).


The Kremlin spokesperson Zakharova said that Kiev is preparing to carry out a terrorist attack at the ZNPP(Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant), commenting on the exercises in a number of regions of Ukraine in case of an accident at the plant.



Zelensky continues with the nuclear rhetoric…


The President of Ukraine's Office assessed the threat of a terrorist attack at the Zaporozhye NPP as 50/50.


“On the one hand, the Russians understand that the world is watching carefully. And they understand the consequences of a legal nature, including for Rosatom - they will definitely be if Russia wants to do something, ”said Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the Presidential Office.


Mikhail Podolyak, speaking about the situation around the Zaporizhzhya NPP, criticized the head of the IAEA, Grossi, saying that he was “arranging a clownery” and not reacting harshly enough against Russia to Ukraine’s statements about the threat of a terrorist attack at the plant.


Alternate nuclear plant targets because the ZNPP is well protected:


Zelensky held an exit speech at the Rivne NPP because of the alleged threat


Zelensky held a visiting meeting of the Supreme Commander's headquarters at the Rivne NPP in the west of the country near the border with Belarus due to the fact that, according to him, it is allegedly in danger.


"Today the rate is exit. We gathered at the Rivne NPP to assess any possible threats to the station on the spot," Zelensky wrote in his Telegram channel. He added that the Ukrainian authorities "keep the situation under control."


Zelensky said that reports of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny and the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kirill Budanov on the operational situation on the Belarusian border and possible actions of Russia were heard at the STAVKA(HQ)meeting.


Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny visited the Rovno NPP, where he discussed the exchange of information between the military and power engineers, as well as "possible scenarios for the development of events" at the Zaporozhye NPP, the press service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported.


Also Zaluzhny:


Zaluzhny had also commented in December last year on the murder of Russians, stating: “And the most important experience we had and the one which we have practiced almost like a religion is that Russians and any other enemies must be killed, just killed, and most importantly, we should not be afraid to do it. And this is what we are doing”.




Head of IAEA: International Atomic Energy Agency: Zelensky is not telling the truth about the ZNPP


Question: Zelensky said that Russia drove cars with explosives into nuclear power plants and mined cooling ponds. Did you see it?


- Grossi: I would never argue with the president of Ukraine. I can only say that I was there and did not see it. Our teams are there and report every day.




Ukrainian Health Minister Viktor Lyashko:


Lyashko also admitted that it is impossible to protect the entire population during a radiation accident. According to him, people who live in the potential affected area have already been given drugs to protect the thyroid gland.


Statements by the Ukrainian authorities about the likely consequences of the explosion of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant continue.


Additional sensors have been installed in Kiev to measure the level of radiation. Two new devices were installed in Goloseevsky and Svyatoshinsky districts, said Alexander Vozniy, director of the Department of Environmental Protection of the Kiev City State Administration. Thus, seven sensors are currently operating in Kiev, which transmit information about the level of radiation in real time to the Kiev Digital application.



Russia killed high level military and Foreigners:

Two Ukrainian generals, up to 50 other officers as well as around 20 foreign mercenaries and military advisers were eliminated in a recent Russian strike on the Kiev forces’ deployment site in Kramatorsk, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on June 29.

“According to the updated information, a June 27 precision strike on the temporary deployment site of the Ukrainian army’s 56th motorized infantry brigade in the city of Kramatorsk eliminated two generals, up to fifty officers of the Ukrainian armed forces and also up to twenty foreign mercenaries and military advisers who participated in a staff meeting,” the ministry’s spokesman, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov, said in a statement.

Arestovich says the counteroffensive has failed and calls for violence against the president of Hungary.


Former adviser to Zelensky Oleksii Arestovich - said that the counteroffensive failed through the fault of the United States and NATO:


You can ask the Americans a question: “Why did you prepare this counteroffensive in such a way and gave so many weapons? Maybe you drove us into negotiations from the very beginning? Imagine if the president or somebody comes out and says it publicly.


There are a lot of questions for our beloved allies. So many! About gray schemes, about the gray fleet of 300 tankers, which both carried oil and still carry it. About American chips,that go to Russia and parts go into "calibers" and "Kinzhals"and Russia increased production[of missiles]. Why, if F-16s are in principle given and the pilots began to train, then only in October-November, or, as they say, maybe in 2024, and not give them in May before the counteroffensive, which is decisive? Even if you want to negotiate, then to create negotiations from a position of strength. Why should our infantry pay for this in blood?Why should our citizens pay with blood?Are we defending the collective West here?


50 billion euros of aid to us was blocked. They are killing us with this! These idiots, NATO and Europeans, cannot all together find a short cut for one Orban? Knock him over the head and make him vote normally? What's going on, comrades?



Zelensky insults all the European militaries:


"NATO without Ukraine is not NATO," - Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky


"And I think so not because I am the President of Ukraine, but because we are in a state of war. We are on the eastern flank of NATO. And we are really very powerful. We have proven it here. In any case, we have practice, and we have a practical army, powerful with a lot of experience. And I think that on the European continent there is no such army as the Ukrainian army.”


Zelensky's claims of being a "powerful army" are somewhat laughable when Ukraine has lost 20% of its former territory and 300,000 troops are KIA.



Nuke sniffer aircraft from the US has showed up:


Today, at about 15.00 Moscow time, a special aircraft WC-135R Constant Phoenix arrived at the Souda AB airbase from the USA, designed mainly to perform the tasks of collecting particles of any radioactive, chemical and biological filth from the atmosphere with accompanying organizational conclusions regarding the object of observation and weather reconnaissance in the interests of serious forces.


The new arrival of this board straight to Crete looks rather strange, as soon as at the beginning of May of this year it was he who already worked in Europe, spudding his attention to the Norwegian, Baltic and Mediterranean Seas - this is, firstly, and secondly, these boards in most cases when they are on a business trip in Europe, they work from England.


However, given the escalation of psychosis with the possible explosion of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, in which Russia and Ukraine have not blamed each other for the last week, the appearance of WC-135R in Europe becomes easily explainable.



Dmitry Medvedev: Nuclear war probable.

“I will note one thing that politicians of all kinds do not like to admit: a nuclear Apocalypse is not only possible but is also quite probable.

Why?

There are at least two reasons.

First. The world is in a confrontation much worse than during the Caribbean crisis because our opponents have decided to defeat the largest nuclear power - Russia. They are, no doubt, complete idiots, but that's just the way it is.

And the second reason is quite prosaic - nuclear weapons have already been used, and everybody knows by whom and where, which means there is no taboo!".



Poland joins in :




The FSB announced the suppression of an assassination attempt on the citizen head of the Crimea.


“An assassination attempt on the head of the Republic of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, organized by the special services of Ukraine, has been suppressed. In the course of the operational-search activities, a Russian citizen born in 1988 was identified and detained, who was recruited by the SBU and took a course in reconnaissance and subversive activities on the territory of Ukraine, including mine-explosive training,” the Center for Public Relations reported on Monday. communications (DSP) of the FSB of Russia.


The man allegedly planned to blow up Aksyonov's car, but was caught retrieving the bomb from a hiding place.



NASA gets in the Act:


Ukraine and the USA can start monitoring the situation at the NPP using the capabilities of NASA


The head of the country's Energy Ministry, German Galushchenko, told US Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Bridget Brink about the current situation in the Ukrainian energy system, mentioning that Russia is allegedly going to carry out a terrorist attack at the station


Ukraine and the United States are going to start monitoring the situation at the Zaporizhia NPP with the help of the capabilities of the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This was stated in the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine.


"The Minister of Energy of Ukraine, German Galushchenko, held a meeting with the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States of America to Ukraine, Bridget Brink. <...> The parties discussed possible US assistance in monitoring the situation at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant using the capabilities of the US Space Agency," a statement on the agency's website reads.



Storm Shadow brought down in the region near the ZNPP:

It is not exploded so perhaps it was brought down by electronic means (such as a pulse microwave).

Wreckage of a "Storm Shadow" cruise missile downed by Russian Air Defense somewhere in Zaporozhye:






American experts modeled the consequences of a possible military conflict between Russia and NATO countries that have nuclear weapons.

The result - the death of 5 billion people and 10 years without sunlight.




In Ukraine majority know someone close to them who has died.

63% of Ukrainians now say they know at least one close relative or friend who have died in the war, with the average number being three.


This is a huge increase from the last survey in February, which found only 17% of Ukrainians reported a loss, while the figure in September of 2022 was just 9%. This firmly suggests the Bakhmut Meat Grinder did its job and that the Ukrainian counter-offensive is going as poorly as previously thought.

Also of note is that deaths are also concentrated regionally: 69% in the West, and just 52% in the East. This implies heavier losses from the main bastions of Ukrainian Nationalist areas. The implications of that are pretty obvious.

The Ukrainian offensive strategy has changed.”

This was stated by the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Danilov Oleksii Danilov

According to him, now the Armed Forces of Ukraine are more focused on depleting the Russian army, and not on moving forward:

"Task number one is the maximum destruction of manpower, equipment, fuel depots, command posts, artillery and air defense forces of the Russian army. The last days are especially fruitful. Now the war of annihilation is equal to the war for kilometers. The more destroyed - the more liberated," veterinarian and former Lugansk racketeer and scammer Danilov said.

To Help Ukrainians ‘Endure The Stress And Trauma Of War’

Speaking in parliament, he called the measure ‘one of the best world practices’ that should be applied in Ukraine. In his address, he said Ukraine must finally legalize cannabis-based medicines for anyone who demands it.



Zelensky hung in the Hague:





De-Dollarization

The new member of the SCO(Shanghai Cooperation Organisation), Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, immediately urged his colleagues to abandon the dollar:

The hegemony of the West(Western world) is facilitated by the hegemony of the dollar. In order to create a new economic system, it is necessary to remove this element of hegemony in world practice. Use national currencies in settlements between countries, ensuring financial exchanges between our states and partners.

China Restricts Export of Chipmaking Metals in Clash With US

  • Beijing will limit gallium and germanium exports from Aug. 1

  • Both metals are indispensable for producing some chips

China imposed restrictions on exporting two metals that are crucial to parts of the semiconductor, telecommunications and electric-vehicle industries in an escalation of the country’s tit-for-tat trade war on technology with the US and Europe.

Gallium and germanium, along with their chemical compounds, will be subject to export controls meant to protect Chinese national security starting Aug. 1, China’s Ministry of Commerce said in a statement Monday. Exporters for the two metals will need to apply for licenses from the commerce ministry if they want to start or continue to ship them out of the country, and will be required to report details of the overseas buyers and their applications, it said.






American carrier moved closer to Ukraine (Croatia).


So this is some recent news, a Ukrainian general of the SBU was recently assaulted by his fellow colleagues in the SBU. The drunken SBU members were acting disorderly in the same restaurant that the SBU general was eating. The general confronted the drunken SBU officers and he was beaten severely and then allegedly he was driven to a forest where he received further beating and lost some extra teeth. This is happening in a country that is allegedly supposed to be the representative of militaristic and intellectual professionalism, as well as the epitome of freedom and democracy etc... This just goes to show you that poor decision making and poor policies from the top down is a cancer that is eating Ukraine from the inside. This is growing rapidly alongside the nationalistic and the nazistic tendency already growing in the country and in Europe.
