U.S. AND RUSSIA AREN'T THAT DIFFERENT

"An attack on one, is an attack on all. That’s the basis of Nato."

A Russian rocket landing in Poland is “an attack on all”, Major General Rupert Jones tells #TimesRadio.

And this is precisely why we hate the media. I just can't stand the TV or the lies any more. And so full of incalculable blabberings! They may even be seen as an "image of chaos" or a model of chaos. Remarkably, the latest report states that the attack was not a Russian strike and the missile was likely fired by Ukraine, "defending" itself, says the CNN headline, "against Russian attack." Quartz has this to say today: Poland and NATO stated the missile strike was not a Russian attack. Tensions have diffused after both parties said the blast on Polish territory that killed two was likely due to stray fire from Ukrainian air defense. And here's what the AP news agency had to say about this latest development:

NATO member Poland and the head of the military alliance both said Wednesday that a missile strike in Polish farmland that killed two people appeared to be unintentional and was probably launched by air defenses in neighboring Ukraine. Russia had been bombarding Ukraine at the time in an attack that savaged its power grid. “Ukraine’s defense was launching their missiles in various directions, and it is highly probable that one of these missiles unfortunately fell on Polish territory,” said Polish President Andrzej Duda. “There is nothing, absolutely nothing, to suggest that it was an intentional attack on Poland.” The assessments of Tuesday’s deadly missile landing appeared to dial back the likelihood of the strike triggering another major escalation in the nearly 9-month-old Russian invasion of Ukraine. If Russia had targeted Poland, that could have risked drawing NATO into the conflict.

U.S. Department of Defense: DOD Office Moving Ahead in Mission to Identify 'Anomalous Phenomena'

Dec. 17, 2022

In July, the DOD set up the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office to, among other things, identify 'unidentified anomalous phenomena' which might pose a threat to national security and the operations of both the military and other federal agencies. "Unidentified anomalous phenomena," is anything in space, in the air, on land, in the sea or under the sea that can't be identified, and which might pose a threat to U.S. military installations or operations. "The department takes public interest in UAPs seriously," Moultrie said. "As I said to congressional leaders in May, we are fully committed to the principles of openness and accountability to the American people. We are committed to sharing as much detail with the public as we can."

"We have an important and yet challenging mission to lead an interagency effort to document, collect, analyze and when possible, resolve reports of any unidentified anomalous phenomena," said Sean M. Kirkpatrick, the director of AARO.

Since the AARO office stood up this summer, Kirkpatrick said his team there has made significant headway in setting up its mission.

"We've transferred the data and responsibilities from the previous Navy-led UAP task force, and disestablished it," he said. "During that transition, we've taken the opportunity to expand and standardize and integrate UAP reporting and reevaluate the data we've collected."

The AARO has an array of UAP reports that are historical in nature to evaluate, and it is also getting new reports in as well. Kirkpatrick said the AARO will need to apply "a rigorous methodology" to the work of analyzing both old and new reports and that his team has developed an analytic framework to do just that.

In the past, the type of work AARO is charged with performing now involved only reports of anomalous phenomena that were seen in the air. But that has changed. Now, AARO expects to evaluate anomalous phenomena across all domains. And that means that individuals who operate in those other domains are also free now to file UAP reports. That's something Kirkpatrick said the AARO has been working with the services on.

Also, an effort of AARO, Kirkpatrick said, is working with both the military services and the intelligence community to ensure that the activities of the U.S. government itself don't end up as reports of a UAP.

"We are working with the military departments and the Joint Staff to normalize, integrate and expand UAP reporting beyond the aviators — to all service members — including mariners, submariners and our space Guardians," Kirkpatrick said. "We are setting up very clear mechanisms with our 'blue' programs, both our DOD and IC programs, to deconflict any observations that come in with 'blue' activity to ensure that we weed those out and we can identify those fairly early on."

AARO is a new office within the DOD, and Kirkpatrick said that from the start, the office is working hard to establish a standard of operations that is both thorough and rigorous.

"We apply the highest analytic and scientific standards," he said. "We execute our mission objectively and without sensationalism and we do not rush to conclusions."

The work of the AARO is not done in a vacuum. Instead, it's obligated to keep Congress abreast of what it is doing with regular reports, said Ronald Moultrie, under secretary of defense for intelligence and security.

"Since establishment, AARO has been providing regular updates to Congress on its efforts to document, analyze and resolve reports of anomalous phenomena," Moultrie said. "The department has already submitted its first congressionally-mandated quarterly reports on UAP in August and November, and we will continue to provide quarterly updates."

Congress is not alone in wanting to know more about unidentified anomalous phenomena. The American public does as well, said Moultrie. And AARO and the department are committed to transparency there.

Putin says Russia wants end to war in Ukraine

Dec 22 (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that Russia wants an end to the war in Ukraine and that this would inevitably involve a diplomatic solution. Putin made the comments, likely to be met with scepticism by Ukraine and its allies, a day after U.S. President Joe Biden hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in the White House and promised him continued and unwavering U.S. support. "Our goal is not to spin the flywheel of military conflict, but, on the contrary, to end this war," Putin said. "We will strive for an end to this, and the sooner the better, of course."

The Pillars That Will Restore America

BE READY FOR THE COLLAPSE

Grocery shortages and barren shelves are returning, and farmers, industry executives, and government organizations worry they'll only get worse. If you thought you were spending too much on everyday goods, brace yourselves because everything is getting more expensive. As our food supply fails and more farmers abandon their crops due to growing expenses, grocery prices will soar this summer, and U.S. consumers will face widespread shortages for the second straight year.

You've probably noticed empty shelves in grocery stores recently. U.S. consumers have encountered shortages of particular products and brands, skyrocketing shopping expenditures, and greater living expenses in the past year.

Americans spend more for electronics, housing, food, and fuel. Farmers are losing incentive to plant and care for their crops due to a large increase in commodity costs, raw materials, and fertilizers. Ben Riensche, an Iowa farmer, says he and his fellow agricultural producers would soon cause "historic grocery bills for millions of U.S. customers."

Riensche: "If you believe food prices are rising today, they're only beginning." "I doubt you'll spend $1,000 a month on groceries. I expect a $1,000-a-month increase." The USDA has warned that food inflation might spiral out of control as many factors weighing on the U.S. food supply chain combine to bring prices to levels not seen since the Carter administration.

Another wave of grocery price spikes will devastate Americans. 71% of U.S. households are struggling to keep up with growing grocery prices, 41% will modify their purchasing patterns if prices climb, and 51% are already witnessing bare shelves at their local supermarkets. If you know you'll need something in the coming months, acquire it now because you'll likely pay more afterwards.
We're just getting started. Domestic supply networks are crazy. Our inflationary nightmare won't end soon. Second half of this year will bring additional interruptions, shortages, increasing costs, and unexpected shocks. Stock up now because things will soon turn hectic.

Hoover Institution: In 1970, Stanford professor Paul Ehrlich published a famous book, The Population Bomb, in which he described a disasterous future for humanity: “The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s and 1980s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now.” That prediction turned out to be very wrong, and in this interview American Enterprise Institute scholar Nicholas Eberstadt tells how we are in fact heading toward the opposite problem: not enough people. For decades now, many countries have been unable to sustain a #population replacement birth rate, including in Western Europe, South Korea, Japan, and, most ominously, China. The societal and social impacts of this phenomenon are vast. We discuss those with Eberstadt as well as some strategies to avoid them.
