The fact of the matter is that politics is just another religion.

In religious freedom countries, you can drive down the street of any big city, and see all kinds of churches of various kinds of religions. And if you look in the phone book or the want ads, you often see ads for religions that are too small to have a church.

You don't have to stop and take part in any of the religions as you drive. You might be a member of one of them, but the rest of them are simply 'other religions'. Yet some of the things the large religions do affect everybody a little.

Same with the religion of politics.

Military experts insist Ukraine’s counteroffensive is not failing, “just off to a slow start” – tell that to the Marines



https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-07-02-military-experts-insist-ukraine-counteroffensive-isnt-failing.html
Military experts insist that Ukraine's much-anticipated offensive is not failing, claiming that it is "way too early" to be drawing conclusions about the success or failure of Kyiv's renewed push to retake territories.

Kyiv has launched one of its largest military operations since the start of the war. But now, even Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is acknowledging that this offensive is going "slower than expected."

"It's just getting underway," said retired Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, who formerly served as the commanding general of United States Army Europe, in an interview with Business Insider. "Most of Ukraine's army is not even in the fight yet."

Official sources claim that Ukraine is still in the initial phase of its most recent ground operations, which are focused on collecting information and confirming intelligence that offers insight into the enemy's objectives.

"The offensive has started, but not the main attack," claimed retired Australian Army Maj. Gen. Mick Ryan. He added that the Ukrainians have taken a broad front approach to the conflict, scanning the front lines and trying to find penetrable places to attempt to break through the Russian defenses.

"When they find it, they'll do it," he said. "They only have to create one significant breakthrough to cause all kinds of problems for the Russians."

Geopolitical Evolution: Russia's 'Rebellion' & A Return To Gold-Backed Currency

At the time of writing, existing members, those who have applied to join and those expressing an interest total 36 nations, with over 60% of the world's population and one-third of global GDP.

Plans for a new trade currency backed by gold appear to be on the agenda for the BRICS meeting in Johannesburg in August. In this article, the geopolitical aspects of its introduction are considered, and the indications that how it will involve gold are discussed. The mechanics of this project are then suggested.

But first, we look at the situation in Ukraine, attempting to put the recent Wagner rebellion into context. Furthermore, Russia's deteriorating trade surplus, weakness of the rouble and rising bond yields suggest that it is time for President Putin to put an end to Ukraine's misery. He is likely to do this by attacking Kiev, which is only 60 miles from Belarus, while the bulk of Ukraine's army is distracted by operations over 400 miles to the south and east.

Besides that, this is a good example on why cash and crypto is necessary, in my opinion. Censorship can be dangerous.

In the US, foundational documents like the Constitution and the Bill of Rights don't allow the government to be like a bank. But these same documents allow government to contract with just about anybody.

So, to get around the good banking laws set up in the foundational documents, the US has contracted with the private Federal Reserve Bank to make and handle its paper money for them.

Totally against certain aspects of the spirit of the foundational documents, but completely according to other aspects of the spirit of the documents.

Here is a secret in the United States that they don't tell you. A Supreme Court judgment is nothing. What?!?!

Nobody has to follow a SCOTUS judgment until they are forced. And no US Marshal system is required to enforce any SCOTUS judgment unless they want. And it's the same with all court judgments. The judge simply makes a judgment, and then it is up to the 'winner' of that judgment to find somebody who will enforce the judge's ruling.

If nobody enforces a judge's ruling - like the US Marshals, or the local Sheriff, or the local police - the judgment is useless. All judgments are useless without enforcement by some enforcement agency voluntarily enforcing them.

Why would an enforcement agency enforce judgments? Because their agency heads might get voted out of office if the people don't like the record of what they do.

So you see, much of the way government works is based on the voluntary compliance of agency heads. Until the people force Congress people out of office for allowing Biden to continue, He can do whatever he wants.

In as much as World War III is a certain event to take place in the future, the world between Russia and Ukraine will not be a stepping stone to it anytime soon. I've watched documentaries and read history about the various causes of what would happen that can lead to that, and the current conflict between the two countries has nothing to do with it. No matter how long their fight lasts, it will not lead to World fight 3.

The problem with this thinking is that the war is not between Russia and Ukraine. Rather, it is between the US/Nato and Russia. And it is an economic/financial war between them.

As such, this war, since it is also based in the SWIFT financial system vs. the new system being developed by BRICS, easily might be the entry into a new kind of world war.

The SWIFT system is international, even though no country is required to use it. All major countries DO use SWIFT, however, because it works. But many countries don't like the controlling way it works, essentially making slaves of other nations simply by the fact that the US banking system is the one that gets paid by everybody who uses SWIFT.

Perhaps BRICS freedom ideals are based in greed. But their greed is far less than the greed of the banking system that developed SWIFT.

There are a couple of interesting things about this. One is that hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) was a favorite medicine for curing/controlling malaria, until it was found that cures/controls Covid. Before Covid, HCQ was declared one of the safest medications around by the WHO... safe even for children, and in high doses. Now, all of a sudden, HCQ is somewhat dangerous if not carefully taken under medically controlled conditions.

Then, as we see in the OP post, animal parasite controller medicines cure/control cancer in people. But the WHO doesn't say anything about it.

The point is, why should we believe the WHO when they say that artemisinin controls/cures malaria? Who is putting pressure on the WHO so that they keep on saying that HCQ is 'bad' so that they need to find a new malaria treatment for people? And why would you even believe them when they did such a deceptive about face with HCQ?

Since many drugs are developed from plants (as you will see in the below article for artemisinin), drugs can be sort of safe when used as directed, and only for a short while. All the double-talk and incomplete info put out by the medical and the WHO is only designed so that the medical companies can make more money, without becoming liable enough to destroy them or wreck their "good" name.


WHO: Artemisinin is a powerful remedy against malaria



https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-06-30-who-artemisinin-powerful-remedy-against-malaria.html
Last November, the World Health Organization (WHO) published a Question & Answer page about artemisinin providing partial protection against malaria infections.

Artemisinin, a natural constituent derived from the Artemisia annua plant, also known as sweet wormwood, as well as its derivatives, are described by the WHO as "powerful medicines known for their ability to swiftly reduce the number of Plasmodium parasites in the blood of patients with malaria."

In order to effectively control malaria once it starts spreading, powerful anti-malarial medicines are necessary, of which artemisinin and its various derivatives are included. Known as artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs), the WHO recommends these as first- and second-line treatment for uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria and chloroquine-resistant P. vivax malaria.

Right now, the latter version is said to have infected four people in Sarasota, Fla. Transmission there was local, meaning the infected caught it locally rather than overseas – which has not happened there since the 1950s, according to health officials.

While there is not yet a conceivable "outbreak," so to speak, since transmission is low, it is still a good idea to keep in mind which remedies work best for treating malaria. And one of the most powerful is artemisinin and its derivatives, which include artesunate, artemether, and dihydroartemisinin.

The WHO recommends pairing these derivatives with a partner drug to help reduce the number of malaria parasites, known as parasite biomass, during the first three days of treatment. The partner drug, meanwhile, eliminates the rest of the remaining parasites, rendering it the "cure."

Currently, the WHO recommends six different ACTs. Two of them are injectable – one with artesunate and the other with artemether – and these are recommended for cases of severe malaria. After getting these injections, patients are advised to follow up with an oral ACT regimen, just so long as they are able to tolerate it.

Get a government of the people, by the people, for the people. Then the people are government, and they can change the government any way they want.

How do the people do that? By voting on the issues. If 51% say government can keep secrets, and only 49% say no, I guess the minority is screwed.

Then there should be a civil war to see who is stronger, the 51% or the 49%.

And all the while the people are arguing, the people in government do whatever they want. How can they get away with it? The people are too dumb to use the lawful power they have to take out government people lawfully.

Hulda Clark showed us years and years ago that cancer is caused by tiny bugs. Bugs, not viruses. And that the bugs are much smaller than the standard microscopes can see. These bugs are essentially parasites. So, it's not surprising that ivermectin and fenbendazole (anti-parasitic drugs) can cure cancer.

Back in early 2011, a microscope was invented that can view living things in living color that could only be seen dead, with an electron microscope, previously. It's call the Microsphere Nanoscope, and it can see things much smaller than Hulda Clark's microscope. Where is this microscope today? Why haven't we heard anything about it? Could it be that the leaders in the medical are trying to hide the truth about cancer from us... for money making purposes?


Synergistic pairing of ivermectin and fenbendazole found HIGHLY EFFECTIVE at preventing and treating cancer



https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-06-30-synergistic-pairing-ivermectin-fenbendazole-prevent-treat-cancer.html
During the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) "pandemic," the powers that be made it a top priority to discourage and even prevent the general public from using ivermectin as a prophylactic, instead pushing masks and "vaccines." Well now there is another use for ivermectin that is sure to put it right back in Big Pharma's crosshairs, and it involves the treatment of cancer.

One of the "side effects" of taking ivermectin for COVID, it turns out, is that it also helps prevent cancer cells and tumors from forming. This could be very helpful for those dealing with the sudden onset of "turbo cancer," a phenomenon that appeared not long after the launch of Operation Warp Speed.

If "fully vaccinated" people who got jabbed for COVID had easy access to ivermectin, many of them could potentially find relief and healing from it. And even better is the fact that fenbendazole, another anti-parasite drug, also works to fight against cancer.

"What would happen if one did a combination therapy for both the prevention and treatment of cancer using BOTH ivermectin and fenbendazole?" asks "2nd Smartest Guy in the World" on his Substack. "The synergistic pairing would be far more effective than just using one of these miraculous drugs."

(Related: Gold standard medical science proves that ivermectin is a powerful remedy against COVID.)

Ivermectin and quercetin together fight prion diseases

When taken together, ivermectin and fenbendazole deliver a one-two punch to cancer. When combined with other anti-cancer nutrients such as quercetin, vitamins C and D, and curcumin, the effects are even more pronounced.

Preclinical studies show that both ivermectin and fenbendazole exhibit cytotoxic effects against cancer cells. The two drugs also inhibit the growth and spread of cancerous tumors.

The flood of drugs killing Americans, the rise of mental illness, our food supply chain being destroyed, outright lies being told by our government. All of this doesn’t happen without major outside influence. I think you’d have to be not paying attention to not see that America is under attack.
I agree, we also do get these wars in cyberspace and even a country's own government is experiencing its own civil war. That's why I don't think that we will see the world take a rest from all of these types of wars and if the actual world war 3 will come for which it will be China and US, that's gonna be big and it could not even be with those arms but with a biological warfare.

Farage: my bank accounts closed with 'no explanation'



https://archive.fo/YQgaN
But it appears the reality isn't so rosy for the former Ukip leader. Farage has taken to Twitter today to claim that 'the establishment are trying to force me out of the UK by closing my bank accounts.' In a lengthy six-minute statement, he says that current bank account is being closed, despite no reason being given. He has since tried to open a new account at seven rival financial institutions but to no avail:
"
I have been with the same banking group since 1980. I've had my personal accounts with them since that date, and my business accounts right through the 1990s want to work in the City of London. In recent years too I'm with one of the subsidiaries of this big banking group, one with a very prestigious name, but I won't name them just yet. I got a phone call a couple of months ago, to say 'we are closing your accounts', I asked why [but] no reason was given. I was told a letter would come, which would explain everything. The letter came through and simply said, we are closing your accounts, we want to finish it all by a date, which is around about now. I didn't quite know what to make of it. I complained. I emailed the chairman, a lackey phoned me to say that it was a commercial decision, which I have to say, I don't believe for a single moment. So I thought, well, there we are, I'll have to go and find a different bank. I've been to six, no seven banks actually. Ask them all, could I have a personal and a business account? And the answer has been no.

The Brexiteer is yet to name the financial institution which has closed his existing account. However in 2019, the Times reported that Farage banked with Coutts, which has served the Queen and every member of the royal family since George IV.

Mr S wonders if some of the more outlandish claims about Farage's finances are to blame for his current predicament. One example is offered by Sir Chris Bryant, that purveyor of moral plaudits. He is still to apologise or retract his demonstrably false allegation that Farage has received £548,573 from Russian state-funded media. Luckily for Sir Chris, he made that claim on the floor of the House of Commons and therefore is immune for prosecution.

BRICS On The March



https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/brics-march
The BRICS countries represent 40% of the world population and 25% of the global GDP.

Thanks to BRICS, China can impose its vision of international cooperation and Russia can show that it will not be isolated on the stage of global players.

The group is a thorn in the side of the Americans all the more so that a dozen other developing countries (marked in orange on the map below) want to join the current five countries of the alliance (red).

What America certainly doesn't like is the fact that French President Macron communicated the other day his interest in attending meetings of the alliance. France in BRICS would be a trigger for profound changes in the geopolitical landscape. We bet that Turkey can also join soon, which, like the case of France, will weaken the importance of the UN as a purely Anglo-Saxon project and that of NATO. Indeed, the BRICS countries are against the UN's attempts to link the issues of climate with the issues of security, and France in BRICS can return to the de Gaullean concepts of foreign policy outside NATO.

A challenge to cohesion in BRICS is the large disparity in countries' capacities (in favor of China) and the members' focus on cooperation with the PRC, which results in a smaller number of relationships among the other partners. However, the main factor that has weakened the BRICS in recent years is the deterioration of relations between the largest member states, China and India, since 2017. Border and trade disputes culminated in the clashes on the Ladakh border in June 2020, which almost led to the cancellation of the BRICS summit in the same year and prompted India to deepen cooperation with the United States and the EU.

Now, the West's involvement in the war in Ukraine is reviving anti-Western sentiments, not only in the BRICS countries.

Putin Wins – on All Counts



https://www.lewrockwell.com/2023/06/no_author/putin-wins-on-all-counts/
When the lightning of History strikes, better cut to the chase in our first draft.

Here we go.

After the extraordinary events in Russia during The Longest Day, President Putin wins on all counts.

Among other feats, he has made an absolute, inter-galactic ass of the whole collective West MSM – all over again.

He rallied virtually every Russian to end the Special Military Operation (SMO) – or "almost war" (according to some business circles) quicker.

He – and the FSB – amassed a formidable list of traitors and 5th and 6th columnists, which will be properly dealt with.

And he now enjoys unlimited freedom to deploy de facto Counter-Terrorist Operation (CTO) martial law powers.

As much as Putin helped perennial Lukashenko in August 2020, preventing regime change in Belarus, good ol' Luka prevented Russia from sliding into civil war in June 2023.

A complex wide-ranging counter-terror op is now in effect in Moscow and beyond, while assorted Western sub-zoology specimens are stunned, dazed and confused: wasn't that supposed to be Putin meeting his Czar Nicholas II moment?

A first glance at the chessboard tells us that all the pieces seem to be falling in their right places.

Prighozin gets a golden parachute in Belarus. Shoigu may be about to be sacked, perhaps even Gerasimov (yes, there are deeply dysfunctional layers inside the Ministry of Defense). The Wagner musicians will be incorporated as a regular Army Corps. They may keep doing business in Africa: demand is huge.
