Obsolete US Anti-ICBM warship “protects” French Carrier Group from Unstoppable Russian 33,337kph hypersonic missiles

Rick Rozoff is an anti-war specialist in NATO affairs who publishes daily the pompous nonsense jargon that NATO uses to dress up US campaigns to maintain their control over the world. Below we paste with comments a piece where they proudly boast of their useless and pathetic plans to WIN a NUCLEAR WAR by shooting down Russian and Chinese hypersonic missiles coming in at 27 times the speed of sound. Speed of sound = 1234.8 X 27 = 33,337.6 kph

USS Arleigh Burke hosts French Maritime Force Commander U.S. Naval Forces Europe and Africa/U.S. Sixth Fleet
December 16, 2022

The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Arleigh Burke hosted Rear Adm. Christophe Cluzel, commander of the French Maritime Force and French Carrier Strike Group, Dec. 5, 2022.

note: The Arleigh Burke is one of the newest US “ICBM destroyers”. Based at the NATO base in Rota, south of Spain, they make Spain a target for destruction in the first minutes of a Nuclear War, as they are a threat to thousands of Russian warheads that must be fired immediately due to the US First Strike Policy.

While aboard the ship, Cluzel held discussions with Arleigh Burke Sailors and toured the ship’s compartments including the combat information center, a main engine room, SONAR control room….

Cluzel, a 1994 graduate from the French Naval Academy, is well versed in Mediterranean Maritime Operations, providing expertise and experience operating in the Mediterranean Sea alongside Allied naval forces, including Arleigh Burke. The ship is currently under tactical control of the French carrier strike group and Cluzel.

note: joining the Arleigh Burke to the French Carrier Strike Group makes them a ‘sitting duck’ for a swarm of ‘unstoppable’ hypersonic missiles that can reach them in 10 minutes, coming in at up to 27 times the speed of sound. Speed of sound = 1234.8 X 27 = 33,337.6 kph. At this speed a missile really needs no warhead at all to destroy a ship.

‘Smart’ US nukes for ‘Nuclear First Strike’ coming to NATO fighters in Italy, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands…

“Rear Adm. Cluzel’s visit demonstrated to the crew the impact that the U.S. Navy has on operating with our NATO allies,” [Ensign Bray Zimmerman, Arleigh Burke’s Operations Intelligence Division Officer] said. “Our crew was able to see that what Arleigh Burke brings to the fight is significant to carrier strike group operations across all navies.”

Arleigh Burke recently began its integration period with the French Carrier Strike Group, supporting mission ANTARES. ANTARES aims to exert non-escalatory pressure against opposed forces of NATO in the Mediterranean Sea. Arleigh Burke is providing multi-warfare defense to the French carrier strike group while operating under tactical control of the French Navy.

note: just pompous jargon, more suited to a schoolboy’s war comic

Arleigh Burke is the second ship to operate as part of the French Carrier Strike Group during mission ANTARES. In November, fellow Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Roosevelt provided defense capabilities to the strike group’s phase I ANTARES mission set.

.. Integrating U.S. destroyers into Allied carrier strike groups pays dividends for all involved”…

Spain: first Target for Nuclear Annihilation as the Base of the 4 most advanced Ballistic Missile Destroyers in the US

Upon Arleigh Burke’s integration into the French Carrier Strike Group, the ship has already conducted multiple maneuverability exercises, helicopter operations, and a replenishment-at-sea evolution, highlighting the capability and capacity of Forward Deployed Naval Forces-Europe (FDNF-E) ships in the European theater. The versatile Arleigh-Burke class destroyer consistently demonstrates her inherent mobility and adaptability to operate anywhere on the waterfront, whether it be as an independent deployer or as a unit in a strike group.

Four U.S. Navy destroyers, including Arleigh Burke, are based in Rota, Spain and are assigned to Commander, Task Force 65 in support of NATO’s Integrated Air Missile Defense architecture. These FDNF-E ships have the flexibility to operate throughout the waters of Europe and Africa, from the Cape of Good Hope to the Arctic Circle, demonstrating their mastery of the maritime domain.

Hopes Persist During Last Leg of COP15

Raj's avatarC.A.R.E.

The funding gap has once again become a major sticking point at the UN biodiversity conference in Montreal between the Global North and developing countries like India. Meanwhile, deliberations continued on the global biodiversity framework (GBF) and other agenda items following a mid-week walk by developing countries. With renewed focus on resource mobilization, there has been some progress on various sections, while ministers and heads of international organizations are working to sort out contentious issues in the snow-blanketed host city.

Negotiations on the GBF progressed on its sections, including on responsibility and transparency, and communication, education, awareness, and uptake, as well as on target 17 on biotechnology. The contact group on digital sequence information (DSI) addressed a revised non-paper including two options: the first one establishing a process on the way forward, and the second one establishing a global benefit-sharing mechanism and a process for its operationalization.

Delegated reached agreement…

Russia builds Dome Shield over world’s biggest Nuke Plant against ‘revealed reality of terrorist Ukrainian shelling’

For months hundreds of FAKE MSM NEWS headlines have screamed RUSSIA SHELLING OWN NUCLEAR PLANT thus getting more aid for Ukraine and sanctions for Russia. Finally Russia is building a giant Dome Shield over the plant- obviously to protect it vrom their own bombs

Russia building protective dome at world’s largest nuclear plant – senior Russian official

fake MSM news… CNN.explainer How dangerous was Russia’s attack at Zaporizhza nuclear power plant?

Russia is constructing a protective dome over spent radioactive fuel stores at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant as Ukrainian forces continue to target the facility, senior regional official Vladimir Rogov has said.

fake MSM news… Washington Examiner. Zelensky accuses Russia of shelling own positions at nuclear plant …

He took to Telegram on Saturday to post a short video of the work that’s taking place. It showed technicians setting up shields over the tanks that hold spent nuclear fuel.

The dome is designed to protect the storage facilities from shrapnel and improvised explosive devices carried by drones, the official explained, adding that it would be reinforced further at a later period.

Russia’s nuclear energy corporation Rosatom had earlier warned that damage to the spent-fuel containers risks a release of radioactive material into the atmosphere, with unpredictable consequences.

The construction of the dome comes amid continued attacks on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and the nearby town of Energodar, which Moscow blames on Kiev. Russia has repeatedly said that such strikes could result in a nuclear disaster that would eclipse the 1986 Chernobyl incident and affect many countries in Europe.

Ukraine initially claimed that the Russian military had been hitting the plant itself as part of “false-flag” operations to make Kiev look bad. However, Ukrainian general staff eventually admitted to striking the area around the nuclear facility.

The Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, which is the largest on the continent, has been under Russian control since February 28. All of the reactors at the facility are currently shut down due to the security situation.

Zaporozhye Region, together with three other former Ukrainian territories – Kherson Region and the People’s Republic of Donetsk and Lugnask – joined Russia in autumn after holding referendums.

Involuntary Cannibalism and Genetic Contamination for All – Biotech’s Evil Promise

Biotech's Dark Promise: Involuntary Cannabilism for All

” Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.” ~ Albert Einstein

Whereas the quote above could easily be dismissed as the ‘progress-denying’ sentiment of a disgruntled anti-GMO activist, the fact is that it came from a scientist representing the very epitome of Western rationality and accomplishment.

Perhaps Einstein was reflecting on the inevitable existential consequences of the so-called technological imperative”–whatever can be done, will be done.  Fundamentally amoral and irrational economic and political forces drive technology’s feverish pace, infusing a certain arbitrary cruelty and disequilibrium into everything it touches.

In our continual drive to ‘improve upon Nature’ in the name of much-hyped, ‘life-saving’ biotechnological innovations, the line between humane and inhumane eventually is crossed, and there seems no going back.  Biopollution from defective or dangerous GMO genes, for example, is virtually impossible to undo once unreleased into the biosphere; you can’t “recall” a defective gene like you can an automobile.

Nor can we remove from our bodies the surreptitious viruses (e.g. simian virus #40 (SV40)) that contaminated millions of first-generation polio vaccines. In many ways our moral fiber suffers from the same susceptibilities.

Once we have crossed a certain line – be it theft, lying, or worse, etc., – it is difficult, if not impossible to ‘go back’ and regain our innocence. Such is the human condition.

And this is why we must carefully consider the medico-ethical implications of new technologies, whose developments we must first be aware of in order to guide, regulate and sometimes terminate.

The Scientific Community Moves To Embrace Embryo Cloning for Medical Purposes

For example, few are aware that the cloning of human embryos for ‘therapeutic purposes’ was made legal in the UK in January, 2001 through an amendment to the Human Embryology Act.[i] 

Not long after, in August 2004, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) approved the first license for cloning human embryos in the UK.  Media reports at the time alleged the legal changes would result in the use of cloned human embryos to create “spare body parts.”   

In an article published in 2000 titled, “Biotech Cannabalism,”[ii] C. Ben Mitchell, PhD reflects on the pro-cloning movement by quoting a proponent’s justification: “If you could use tissue from human embryos to save hundreds of lives, there must be a moral imperative to do it.” Mitchell disagrees, countering: “[C]reating a human being for the purposes of killing that person for another human being’s health, sounds an awfully lot like cannibalism, only worse.”  

Calling Vaccines From Aborted Fetuses What They Are: Cannibalistic

Whereas cannibalism is considered by most modern societies to be the ultimate expression of uncivilized or barbaric behavior, it is intrinsic to many of the Western world’s most prized biotechnological and medical innovations. Probably the most ‘taken for granted’ example of this is the use of live, aborted fetus cell lines from induced abortions to produce vaccines.

Known as diploid cell vaccines (diploid cells have two (di-) sets of chromosomes inherited from human mother and father), they are non-continuous (unlike cancer cells), and therefore must be continually replaced, i.e. new aborted, live fetal tissue must be harvested periodically.  A good portion of the CDC’s immunization schedule requires the use of these human fetus-originated vaccines, and these include: rubella, measles, mumps, rabies, polio, smallpox, hepatitis A, chickenpox, and herpes zoster.

Ukraine War Day #295: Can American Patriots Cover Ukrainian Sky?. At $3m a round counter flocks of cheap Russian Drones in a real war?

yalensis's avatarAwful Avalanche

Dear Readers:

File this under the category, “Still more junk to send into that Junk Yard that is the Ukraine”.

This week we learned that the U.S. most likely will provide Ukraine with Patriot Air-Defense Missile complexes. You can find additional info in this RT story, in English. I also saw this excellent technical analysis by Brian Berletic:

From the Russian mainstream press, I have this piece by reporters Darya Volkova and Evgeny Pozdnyakov.

It could happen as early as next week, according to Westie media such as CNN and the Washington Post. Russian analysts are pretty sure that the final decision has already been made behind the scenes.

A Patriot battery consists of up to 8 launchers, each of which contains 4 rockets ready to launch. Russian media has not yet been able to determine, just how many of these batteries will be shipped to the Ukraine…

Selfless Anarchism in Action – by Dan Baker

-Contains material solely for the purpose of achieving breakdown of prison through disruption-

“This essay is being written from prison. I am a political prisoner, which has made me strong in my convictions and allowed me to define myself and uproot patriarchal, racist, sexist, hierarchical, specieist and capitalist conditioning. But the programing has done damage deep within my mind, so I must struggle daily to change and grow in a more wholesome direction.

In a previous essay we explored how to cultivate motivation for direct actions, and to visualize how to make meaningful progress toward the liberation of all beings, in detail. We will now build on that with specific examples and further motivations

Obviously we can be moved by current events, like the Women’s Revolution in Rojava and the more recent uprising of women in Iran, and the global support pouring in for that struggle.

There is also the regressive efforts of sexist religious fanatics in Amerikkka struggling to take away women’s bodily autonomy which need to be opposed. Ignoring these will only allow them to go further and further, slowing breaking down the healthy boundaries of progress that protect women’s rights.

If you still lack motivation to take direct actions then feel free to resort to the media of modern capitalism itself, which can be used against itself. I would like you, the reader, to respond to me directly. Tell me a revolutionary story. Tell me how someone defended the Earth, how someone resisted oppression. We have many examples, and we have many fictional stories too.

The true stories of the American Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the Chinese Revolution, Algeria, Vietnam, Kurdistan, Cuba, Venezuela and so on. A thrilling example is the movie “Beritan” which is available for free on YouTube. This film, produced by actual activists and revolutionaries, some of whom I was honored to meet in person in Rojava, tells the true story of a Kurdish woman named Beritan, who was a revolutionary guerilla fighting against forces of oppression. She and her lover sacrificed their relationship to join the revolution. I met the man who played Beritan’s lover in this movie. He has striking blue eyes. Beritan was betrayed and her team was attacked on a mountain, fighting to the last partisan.

Kurdish women hold a photo of Arin Mirkan, a Rojava defense volunteer (YPJ) killed in the war against ISIS

She refused to surrender, surrounded and outnumbered, and when she ran out of ammunition she smashed her own rifle and threw herself off a cliff rather face the humiliation of capture at the hands of misogynistic men. Her act of defiance moved the enemy deeply and many of them renounced their cause. Please watch this movie, it was filmed with real weapons instead of special effects, and realistically shows what modern combat is like. When I got home from Rojava I received death threats from Turkish soldiers who sent me pictures and videos of themselves killing and abusing Kurdish women. This struggle is still going on.
