Agent Zelensky
Quite different from the image of Zelensky and Ukraine that's portrayed nowadays by our mainstream media and governments
So the question is: Who is Zelensky? Who is behind him? And how deeply have foreign intelligence services (including military) been embedded in Ukraine, and for how long?

Poor, Poor Cricket
Kristi Noem the republican governor of South Dakota is in the news but not in a good way depending on how you feel about dogs. Noem is a strong contender for Trump's VP.
Noem writes that she "hated the dog" as it was "untrainable." The dog was “less than worthless … as a hunting dog”.
“At that moment,” Noem says, “I realized I had to put her down.” So she took Cricket to a gravel pit and took care of it herself. It took two shots.

Democratic lawmaker introduces articles of impeachment against Trump

(CNN)Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas on Tuesday introduced his articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, which will force the House to take up the measure later this week.
Green's resolution is unlikely to lead to an actual vote on impeachment in the House, but he can force the chamber to act on it under House rules within two legislative days, creating a dilemma for House Democratic leaders and the moderate Democrats who have largely tried to avoid the issue of impeachment.
While Green said Tuesday that he wants an up-or-down vote on articles of impeachment, the House has several options to dispose of his effort, though they each have drawbacks. The House could vote to table, or kill, the resolution, but that would in effect put lawmakers on the record about impeachment.
The House could also vote to refer the resolution to the Judiciary Committee, but Republicans would likely oppose that vote, forcing Democrats to vote in favor of the referral in order to move the resolution off the floor.
House leaders weren't saying how they would handle the resolution on Tuesday before Green formally introduced it.
"That will be up to our leadership team to decide," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said when asked about Green's push for a vote.
"We haven't really discussed how to dispose of it," said Majority Leader Steny Hoyer. "I'm not gonna try to discourage him, you know, he has to do what he thinks is right."
Green has previously introduced privileged resolutions forcing a floor vote on impeachment in December 2017 and January 2018. In both cases, the Republican-led House decided to table the measure, voting 354-58 and 355-66, respectively.
But this is the first time Green has forced a vote with Democrats controlling the House.
Democrats said Tuesday that they understood Green's steadfast beliefs that the impeachment resolution was necessary, but they questioned the timing of his move: a week before special counsel Robert Mueller testifies and at a time that the caucus reminds divided on the question of impeachment.
"I cannot control what another member does. It looks like that's going to happen. We will just have to deal with that," said Illinois Rep. Cheri Bustos, the head of the House Democratic campaign arm.
"Look, if he brings it, I'm going to vote for it. Do I think that's the most strategic thing right now, without a game plan? Who knows," said Rep. Cedric Richmond, a Louisiana Democrat.
Green said he informed Democratic leadership that he planned to introduce his resolution Tuesday, adding that he understood that it could be a tough vote for his colleagues but that still would not deter him.
"I believe if we don't do this, the President will only intensify his ugly behavior," Green said. "It just seemed to me that we should bring these articles before the House of Representatives so that we could not only condemn him, but impeach him so that he will understand that there are some boundaries."
While much of the impeachment debate in the Democratic caucus is focused on what Mueller found in his investigation, Green said he left that out of the resolution he introduced this week.
Green referenced the President's racist tweets this past weekend targeting four Democratic congresswomen of color, which were condemned by the House in a vote Tuesday moments before Green introduced his impeachment resolution. Green also said he was citing Trump's past comments and actions on race and immigration that included calling asylum speakers "invaders" and saying there were "very fine people on both sides" after the 2017 white nationalist protests in Charlottesville, Virginia.....

What’s Happening In The US Of A?
Yesterday, in yet another mass shooting, at least 10 people were killed with 16 more injured in a bar. One suspect died in the shootout. The investigation continues.
It is only August and 251 mass shootings have occurred in 2019 so far. This resulted in 1,032 people being shot. Of those people, 180 have died. For the purpose of this blog, a mass shooting is defined as a shooting where at least four people were shot.
Living in a country where things are rather rough, I think I can more or less identify with the problems that come with violence of this nature but it is the magnitude of it that disturbs me. What I see is a lot of angry people and I wonder what it is that enrage them.
One might argue that, given the population of the USA, it is a small percentage but I wonder how the Americans feel about it.
My most sincere condolences to the victims and their relatives.

It Ain't Paradise any longer
The most destructive fire in California's history has now claimed at least 9 lives.
However, at least 35 people are also missing.
Almost the entire town of Paradise California has been engulfed in flames.
The fire broke out rapidy, perhaps from electrical problems, and spread even more rapidly due
to the combination of 50 mph winds and very dry conditions.

9 Dead in Wildfire That Destroyed Northern California Town and Is Now the Most Destructive Fire in California History
By Pam Wright 3 hours ago weather.com
The town of Paradise was destroyed by the fire and nine people have lost their lives. The Camp Fire is now the most destructive fire in California history. Authorities confirmed several injuries and at least 6,700 structures destroyed in Butte County.
Nine people have died as a result of the Camp Fire, a fast-moving Northern California wildfire that has become the state's most destructive on record, officials said Friday night.
Butte County Sheriff Korey Honea said three people were found outside homes and four people inside vehicles. He said another victim was found outside near a vehicle.
All the victims were found in Paradise, a town of 27,000 that was evacuated as a result of the fire.
Authorities say they conducted numerous rescues Friday as they fought the flames, including using helicopters to rescue five people in the nearby community of Magalia.
An estimated 6,453 homes and 260 commercial structures have already been destroyed by the fire, according to CalFire. Another 15,000 remained threatened in the area.
An estimated 80 to 90 percent of Paradise was wiped out by flames Thursday night, the town mayor told the Sacremento Bee.
The sheriff says they have taken 35 reports of missing people.
Three firefighters have been injured, CalFire said Friday.
The Camp Fire, which started early Thursday morning, had grown in size to 156 square miles by Saturday morning and was 20 percent contained.
Pacific Gas & Electric Co. said in a one-paragraph summary filed Thursday with state utility regulators that it had experienced a problem on an electrical transmission line near the Camp Fire site 15 minutes before the blaze broke out, the Associated Press reported. The company said it later observed damage to a transmission tower on the line near the town of Paradise.
Capt. Scott McLean of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said crews basically gave up attacking the flames and instead helped people get out alive.
“There was really no firefight involved,” he said.
By Friday morning, the fire was encroaching on the nearby city of Chico, prompting new evacuations.
Capt. Scott McLean of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said flames from the blaze had reached the eastern side of Chico, a city of more than 90,000 residents.
The small communities of Stirling City and Inskip, north of Paradise, were also evacuated on Friday.
Officials told the Associated Press that some Paradise residents who attempted to escape the fire in their vehicles Thursday were forced to flee on foot – some holding pets and even babies in their grasp – as the flames drew closer. With few options out of Paradise, roads quickly became gridlocked, and abandoned cars left in the middle of the road only made problems worse.
"It is pure chaos up here," CHP public information officer Ryan Lambert told the Los Angeles Times.
Other towns evacuated included Centerville and Butte Creek, northwest of Paradise. Evacuations were also ordered in the nearby hamlets of Pulga and Concow.
"It’s bad," Honea told the Chico Enterprise-Record. "We’re trying to get as many people out as quickly as possible and save as many lives as we can."...

Summing Things Up.
Not precisely how I predicted, but bottom line is similar. The US has lost the war and Europe has no more fear of being invaded as was predicted by Biden and the clown in Cargo pants.
All the deaths on all sides totally unnecessary.

People Pushing for Forced COVID Measures on Kids Are Fighting Against the Science
Put this killer jab in kids is downright evil. But let's talk about the science for a moment.
(a) research team reviewed about 48,000 cases of children under 18 reported to have COVID between April and August of last year. “Our report found a mortality rate of zero among children without a pre-existing medical condition such as leukemia...”
Got that?
48,000 infections.
ZERO deaths.
Why inject kids with what has been killing and maiming unprecedented numbers so injected?
VAERS Whistleblower: “45,000 Dead From Covid-19 Vaccines Within 3 Days of Vaccination”, Sparks Lawsuit Against Federal Government
V-Safe Has More Vaccine Adverse Reaction Data Than VAERS but CDC Keeps It Absolutely Secret. Why?
(A) CDC whistleblower claims the actual post-vaccine death estimates from the CDC are around 45,000. This bit of information dominated conversations regarding the lawsuit, but there was an important gem also described that needs as much attention, if not more.
According to the lawsuit, the V-Safe database has much more data about vaccine adverse reactions than VAERS. It’s a mobile app that allows the tens of millions of vaxxed in America to easily report adverse reactions. As their website notes, “Use your smartphone to tell CDC about any side effects after getting the COVID-19 vaccine. You’ll also get reminders if you need a second vaccine dose.”
With VAERS data, one must proactively find the database and fill out a long questionnaire for their information to be registered. This is one of the reasons experts estimate between 1%-10% sampling; in other words, whatever the number of reactions are reported on VAERS should be multiplied by 10-100 in order to get a more accurate picture.
V-Safe is the opposite. Instead of making it difficult to report, it makes it very easy. Instead of being challenging to find (doctors have been told not to refer their patients to VAERS if they have a reaction), it is proactive and actually sends push notifications to the vaccinated to inquire about their conditions. The CDC has built a vast repository of data that is smartphone-confirmed, meaning nobody’s sitting in their basement with a VPN making false reports. This is the most accurate recording of information about the adverse effects of Covid-19 vaccines.
And it’s locked away with cybersecurity protocols that would make the NSA sweat. Why?
The Nuremburg Code demands full medical disclosure of risks. No secret or forced medical experimentation.
But government is hiding the risks and, of course, that means there is no full disclosure.
And that’s the key — parents ought to be the ones deciding whether or not their children will get vaccinated, not the government or any other parties that want to get involved. It’s up to the parents to evaluate the risks and benefits, and then decide what they want to do.
And the truth of the matter, as Makary’s research appears to show, is that for most children — not all, of course — COVID poses a much less serious risk.
