Police officers from Kenya are being dispatched to bring order to gang-ravaged Haiti, but in their own home country, they have been accused of brutality. | The Kenyan force tasked with leading a mission to take back Haiti’s streets from violent gangs that have overtaken much of the country’s capital will be made up of police officers who have a checkered history of their own at home, accused of killing more than 100 people this year and lobbing tear-gas into a school during anti-government demonstrations. ● “Kenyan police are rogue,” said a 38-year-old taxi driver, Joseph Abanja, recounting how officers stormed into his home in western Kenya several years ago and beat his infant daughter to death. ● As lawlessness in Haiti spirals out of control, Kenya has stepped forward to lead a multinational security force aimed at loosening the grip of gangs in the Caribbean nation. But while the Kenyan police have experience in international missions, they have also been accused of using excessive force to combat political protests and enforce Covid lockdowns.
The United States Department of Defense has only deployed one new cruise missile in the past 30 years. | The US Air Force conducted a successful test in 2022 of a stealth cruise missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, government documents have revealed. ● The secretive missile is classified as a Long-Range Standoff (LRSO) missile and is designed to replace the aging AGM-86 which was first used in the 1980s. Designed and produced by Raytheon, the US Air Force conducted eight successful tests of the missile as it carried a mock version of a new nuclear warhead named W80-4. ● Details about the missile are sparse but the Air Force describes it as a stealthy and long-range upgrade to the AGM-86. The W80-4 is an upgrade to the W80 nuclear warhead, which is being retrofitted to make it compatible with the new missile.
The US House of Representatives removed US Representative Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as Speaker of the House after a vote of 216 to 210. "It’s to the benefit of this country that we have a better speaker than Kevin McCarthy," said US Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who began the process of bringing a motion to vacate on 2 October.
The US House of Representatives on Tuesday removed US Representative Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as speaker of the House. The decision came after an earlier motion to table the vote failed. The final vote was 216-210, with eight Republicans joining the Democrats to vote to remove McCarthy. This was the first time the lower chamber voted on vacating the speaker’s office in 113 years and the first time it has ever succeeded.
The US government may have dodged a shutdown when Congress narrowly passed a last-minute stopgap deal to extend funding for another 45 days over the weekend, but more turmoil has descended upon Capitol Hill. Now that the position of Speaker of the US House of Representatives has been vacated in an unprecedented vote by the lower chamber to oust Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), the legislative branch of the United States federal government faces more uncertainty. Although the continuing resolution (CR) was meant to offer more time to debate a series of spending bills that form the 2024 budget, these will now have to take a backseat. One of these issues is additional funding for Ukraine, which was notably excluded from the passed stopgap measure.
■ House Ousts McCarthy as Speaker | Rep. Gaetz launched the effort after accusing McCarthy of cutting a secret side deal with President Biden on Ukraine aid. Since a handful of Republicans supported Gaetz’s maneuver, McCarthy needed some Democrats to support him to survive, but none did. The final vote was 216-210, with eight Republicans and every Democrat voting to remove McCarthy. There’s no clear nominee to replace McCarthy, but in the meantime, according to CNN, Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) will serve as interim speaker.

Dmitry Medvedev | First. The head of the European Council, Charles Michel, has admitted that Ukraine will join the EU by 2030. This means that the EU believes that the current Bandera state will survive until then. Second. For the first time in U.S. history, the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Congress has resigned. And precisely because of his love for the Kyiv government and budget compromises to fund the Banderites. There is undoubtedly a reason to be proud because the choice was between solving the numerous internal problems of the United States and further feeding the neo-Nazis. True, there are still only two months of money left. (Translation: DeepL.com)

Hal Turner | Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) speaking about the growing BRICS nations engaging in "de-dollarization," Gaetz told reporters ". . . if we're going to lose the dollar . . . ." Does Gaetz already KNOW the Dollar is doomed? | [The] off-the-cuff remark by Congressman Gaetz made me sick to my stomach when I heard it. In my view, this validates ALL the reporting I have been doing on this web site and on my radio show, telling my readers and listeners the US Dollar is collapsing and will be rejected by nations around the world as a means of trade. That would utterly cripple the United States since we don't manufacture much of anything here anymore; we import most of it from other countries. If those countries stop accepting the US dollar in trade, how will WE get what WE need? Stock-up, folks. Food, clothing, medicines, etc. Get what you need NOW, while it still can be gotten. If this collapse takes place, I suspect it will happen like a lightning bolt out of the blue. No advance warning before it all goes to hell.
■ Dollar Hegemony to End ‘in Decade’ After Being ‘Abused For Geopolitical Goals’ (Sputnik)

The United States Supreme Court has rejected a case that seeks to block President Donald Trump from running in the 2024 presidential election. | The SCOTUS declined to hear a challenge from an obscure Republican presidential candidate on Monday. John Anthony Castro, a tax consultant from Texas seeking the Republican presidential nomination, attempted to disqualify Trump from running. ● Efforts to remove Trump from the upcoming presidential election have ramped up nationwide. The moves come as critics argue the leading Republican contender is constitutionally disqualified from serving as commander-in-chief. To justify the claims, critics falsely allege that Trump “engaged in an insurrection” against the United States on January 6, 2021. Castro has filed lawsuits against Trump in multiple states to eliminate him from the race.
The latest trial against the former US president came underway after a New York state judge found the one-time commander-in-chief liable for committing fraud byway of inflating his business portfolio. The presiding judge, Judge Arthur Engoron, earlier remarked that the defendant was working in an "fantasy world, not the real world." | Monday marked the official 'day one' of courtroom proceedings in the civil fraud trial in which former US President Donald Trump and company are alleged to have engaged in nefarious business practices that centered around the misevaluation of various real estate properties. The trial was brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who has told reporters that she remains confident that "justice will prevail" in the matter. The official is seeking at least $250 million in fines and a permanent ban against Trump and his sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, from conducting any business in the state. So, what were some key takeaways from the day's events?
Gilead is accused of 'downplaying or omitting altogether the clinical dangers experienced by patients from remdesivir use.' | The company that manufactures remdesivir, used across the United States to treat COVID-19, has been hit with a class-action lawsuit over allegations it deceptively promoted the drug without disclosing possible side effects. ● Two California residents, one of whom is a relative of a person who died after receiving remdesivir, lodged the suit against Gilead Sciences in Shasta County on Sept. 26. ● Deborah Fust, the surviving spouse of Michael Fust, and Edward Pimentel, who says he was injured.
The continued funding of Ukraine aid has proven to be a sticking point for hardline Republicans intent on redirecting government funds to domestic matters, such as the growing migrant concern at the US-Mexico border. In fact, the topic more recently became a key issue in the recent stopgap debate. | The Pentagon recently issued a dire warning to Congress, revealing it is rapidly running out of funds to replace its weapons stockpile that the US had earlier pulled from in order fulfill shipments to Ukraine. ● The revelation came in a letter viewed by US media, and which urgently calls on congressional lawmakers to replenish funding in order to avert a potentially catastrophic weapons supply shortage for US militaries. ● Pentagon Comptroller Michael McCord earlier informed House and Senate leadership that out of the $25.9 billion allocated by Congress to replenish US military stocks provided to Ukraine, only $1.6 billion remains. The vital military supplies included artillery, rockets and missiles.

Health Secretary Steve Barclay has called for “common-sense” policies in the NHS | UK Health Secretary Steve Barclay will propose barring transgender women from female hospital wards, The Telegraph reported on Monday. The newspaper said the proposals would be formally announced at the Conservative Party conference on Tuesday. The measures would reportedly guarantee that patients have the right to be cared for in wards only shared by people of their own biological sex and to receive “intimate care” by doctors and nurses of the same sex. The current NHS guidance allows for patients to be placed in wards on the basis of the gender they identify with. Barclay’s plan would reportedly have trans patients housed in “separate accommodation.”

Canadian scientist Denis Rancourt and his colleagues have confirmed from studies and monitoring of side effects that COVID-19 vaccines cause death. | Canadian scientist Denis Rancourt and his colleagues have confirmed from studies and monitoring of side effects that COVID-19 vaccines cause death. Around 13 million deaths worldwide, currently. The rate of vaccine-induced deaths in relation to the number of doses given, called the vaccine-dose fatality rate (vDFR), has been measured to be as high as 1% in India and in poorer states in the USA where “vaccine equity” campaigns have been run. In Australia, it was measured to be 0.05%. This data didn’t take into account the age of the people vaccinated. Denis’s research looks at how the fatality rate changes based on age, using data from Israel and Australia and the results show that it’s much higher for older adults and it increases quickly with age, doubling roughly every 5.2 years.
A prominent World Economic Forum (WEF) official has called for an 86 percent reduction in the population of humans to give the globalist elite a “higher standard of living.” | The call was made by Dennis Meadows, who argues that the massive depopulation goal can be achieved “peacefully.” Meadows is one of the main authors of the Club of Rome’s 1972 pro-depopulation book “The Limits to Growth.” He is an honorary member of the Club of Rome and a member of the World Economic Forum. Despite his book being published over 50 years ago, it forms a key part of the WEF’s agenda and his ideology is still very anti-human. Meadows argues that most of the world’s population must be wiped out so that the survivors can “have freedom” and a “high standard of living.” During a 2017 interview, Meadows claims that genocide of 86% of the world’s population is “inevitable.” However, he insists that a “benevolent” dictatorship could accomplish the mass de-population “peacefully.”

While the US role in looting Syria’s resources is well-documented, less is known about the complicity of Iraq's Kurdistan region in its transportation and distribution | Although the porous Iraqi-Syrian border stretches for over 600 kilometers, about half of it – in practice – is not subject to the authority of either state. Over the years, this lack of comprehensive border control has given rise to a number of security threats to both nations, not least the persistent presence of ISIS elements in border regions. ● From the Iraqi side, there has been a pro-active approach in countering this low-level terrorism with the establishment of two defensive lines by the Joint Operations Command, in addition to concrete barriers and watchtowers. ● Smuggling from Syria into Iraqi border towns is another salient feature of current border activities, and one which presents both a threat and an opportunity for the US-led international coalition whose forces operate on both sides of the border.

Harvard is consistently ranked one of the best universities in the United States. But FIRE frequently finds itself in the odd position of giving this all-star academic school failing grades. | Simply put, Harvard has never performed well in FIRE’s College Free Speech Rankings, finishing below 75% of the schools surveyed in each of the past four years. ● In 2020, Harvard ranked 46 out of 55 schools. In 2021, it ranked 130 out of 154 schools. Last year, it ranked 170 out of 203 schools. And this year, Harvard completed its downward spiral in dramatic fashion, coming in dead last with the worst score ever: 0.00 out of a possible 100.00. This earns it the notorious distinction of being the only school ranked this year with an “Abysmal” speech climate. ● What’s more, granting Harvard a score of 0.00 is generous. Its actual score is -10.69, more than six standard deviations below the average and more than two standard deviations below the second-to-last school in the rankings, its Ivy League counterpart, the University of Pennsylvania.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has reportedly decided to compete as an independent, potentially pulling votes away from incumbent Joe Biden | US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has reportedly made plans to run as a third-party candidate, potentially shaking up the 2024 race for the White House by sapping Democrat votes away from President Joe Biden and boosting the odds of a Republican victory. ● Kennedy, who is currently polling as the top challenger to Biden for the Democratic Party’s nomination, plans to announce his candidacy as an independent during an October 9 campaign event in Pennsylvania, Mediaite reported on Friday. Kennedy’s campaign will run commercials attacking the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to “pave the way” for the announcement, the media outlet said. ● Kennedy has railed against the DNC for refusing to give him a fair opportunity to win the party’s nomination, and has criticized Biden for declining to approve US Secret Service protection for him during the campaign, despite numerous death threats. He is the son of 1968 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy and the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy Jr., both of whom were assassinated.

Jeffrey D. Sachs | Last week, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg committed a Washington gaffe, meaning that he accidentally blurted out the truth | In testimony to the European Union Parliament, Stoltenberg made clear that it was America’s relentless push to enlarge NATO to Ukraine that was the real cause of the war and why it continues today. Here are Stoltenberg’s revealing words:
💬 “The background was that President Putin declared in the autumn of 2021, and actually sent a draft treaty that they wanted NATO to sign, to promise no more NATO enlargement. That was what he sent us. And was a pre-condition for not invade Ukraine. Of course, we didn’t sign that. ● The opposite happened. He wanted us to sign that promise, never to enlarge NATO. He wanted us to remove our military infrastructure in all Allies that have joined NATO since 1997, meaning half of NATO, all the Central and Eastern Europe, we should remove NATO from that part of our Alliance, introducing some kind of B, or second-class membership. We rejected that. ● So, he went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO, close to his borders. He has got the exact opposite.”
To repeat, he [Putin] went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO, close to his borders. Why does Russia oppose NATO enlargement? For the simple reason that Russia does not accept the US military on its 2,300 km border with Ukraine in the Black Sea region. Russia does not appreciate the US placement of Aegis missiles in Poland and Romania after the US unilaterally abandoned the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty. ● Russia also does not welcome the fact that the US engaged in no fewer than 70 regime change operations during the Cold War (1947-1989), and countless more since, including in Serbia, Afghanistan, Georgia, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Venezuela, and Ukraine. Nor does Russia like the fact that many leading US politicians actively advocate the destruction of Russia under the banner of “Decolonizing Russia.” That would be like Russia calling for the removal of Texas, California, Hawaii, the conquered Indian lands, and much else, from the U.S.

Revised/edited/reorganized version of an email alert recently distributed by Attorney Todd Callender. | Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): Declarations of public health emergencies operate under, over and outside the law to suspend human rights, constitutional rights and create pretexts for governmental and private actors to commit bodily trespass, false arrest, false imprisonment, assault, battery, torture, kidnapping, and homicide without risk of criminal prosecution or civil liability. ● Without local law enforcement, public health and emergency management officials who willingly carry out HHS-DoD-WHO-UN instructions to control and kill, the criminals running these programs from the international and federal level can't operate their control-and-kill campaigns. ● Under the Project Bioshield Act, PREP Act and related Congressional legislation (codified mostly at 21 USC 360bbb, 42 USC 247d and related provisions), public health emergency (PHE) declarations as issued by the HHS Secretary at his or her sole discretion.
1. consolidate federal government control and extrajudicial killing authority into the HHS Secretary’s hands; and
2. authorize delegation of that ruling and killing authority to state, county, municipal and regional officials and private contractors to commit acts of false arrest, false imprisonment, assault, battery, kidnapping, torture and homicide without personal risk of criminal prosecution or civil liability. [42 USC 247d-6d(c)(4)]
As the laws are written, Congress cannot restrain HHS Secretary killing authority [42 USC 247d-6d(b)(9)] unless and until Congress repeals the Project Bioshield Act, PREP Act and all related public health emergency statutes. ● Several ‘public health emergency’ determinations and declarations are currently in effect in the United States, including declarations covering countermeasure programs and products for coronavirus, influenza, marburgvirus and more.

All of our local and state services are still fully available and we will be just fine without the feds. | I am receiving numerous reports from inside Defense Department contractors indicating management and senior executives have been told their government liaisons "will be unavailable as of Monday" which they are taking to mean there WILL be a US Government shut down as of tomorrow, September 30. Within the US House of Representatives, there is clearly a full impasse over the Budget and it does not appear they will overcome this impasse. For my part, I grabbed some money out of the bank, just in case. I fueled-up the vehicles, did some minor food shopping and checked with my wife and son as to anything they thought we might need if everything suddenly went wild-weasel. As far as we can tell, we're good.
It seems no small coincidence this is announced to take place just one day BEFORE the US Emergency Alert System (EAS) test, scheduled for October 4. | With all the bru-ha-ha about the U.S. conducting its first nationwide Emergency Alert System (EAS) test on October 4, it is eerily unsettling that Russia has just announced its first nationwide CIVILIAN nuclear attack exercise one day earlier, on Oct. 3. This first nationwide nuclear attack exercise across 11 time zones is openly stated by Russia to be "in preparation for potential nuclear war." It is scheduled to take place on October 3 and will see Vladimir Putin’s regime present the West as a nuclear aggressor. The one-day nuclear attack exercise, which has only ever been done region by region, will include preparation for the destruction of up to 70% of Russian housing stock and life support facilities. It will assume, for the exercise, that martial law has been introduced in Russia and that is has gone through full mobilization.

Free Speech for People claims the Republican is barred from running due to contesting the 2020 results | Anti-Trump nonprofit Free Speech for People has filed a lawsuit in Michigan aimed at keeping Republican frontrunner Donald Trump off the state’s 2024 ballot by arguing he violated his presidential oath by participating in an “insurrection” against the Constitution. ● The challenge – one of several similar suits being filed by like-minded groups across the US – is based on Section Three of the 14th Amendment, a rarely-cited provision ratified in 1868 and designed to keep former Confederate officials from attaining positions of power in the nominally-reconstructed US Congress. ● Trump’s lawyers have called for the suit to be dismissed as a violation of the Republican frontrunner’s own constitutional rights, along with a similar suit filed by the same group in Minnesota and one in Colorado by the Center for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. The campaign to preemptively remove Trump from the ballot constitutes illegal election interference as well as attempts to stifle his First Amendment right to freedom of speech, Trump has repeatedly declared.
