U.S. fails to respond to Russia’s request to remove its Nuclear Weapons from Europe: Will deliver new ones from May, courting World War 3

The U.S. Air Force, in cooperation with the Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), has completed the first end-to-end qualification flight tests of the new B61-12 nuclear gravity bomb on the B-2 bomber.

As they leave the factory, the new US nuclear bombs will be delivered to the US Air Force, which in turn will send them to their bases in various European countries to replace the B61s already deployed there. .

Its the equivalent of Russia deploying nuclear missiles in Canada, Mexicom Hawaii and Cuba, say the Russians, putting Armageddon on hair trigger alert just minutes away from Moscow. What’s the point? The US economy depends on lunatic arms spending. What could possibly go wrong?

The Pentagon practically laughed at Moscow’s pleas for serious peace negotiations and in a fit of insane degenerate hubris instead ordered endless, huge and still growing NATO war exercises on Russia’s borders. With nuclear capable B52 bombers flying just tens of kilometers from their Black Sea coast.

Capitalism is working perfectly as it was intended to do

annarky’s blog.Tuesday, 15 March 2022 views and poetry from an anarchist perspective.

It Works! Look around you, it has been a roaring success.

There are those who say “capitalism isn’t working”, this is flawed analysis, capitalism is working perfectly as it was intended to do, create vast wealth for the few at the expense of the many.

The proof is every where, vast luxury million £ yachts, private jets, luxury mansions and an abundance of billionaires, side by side with millions living in poverty and destitution, bloody wars where the many shed their blood so that the rich and powerful can keep their power and privileges. The economics of the insane.

To be living under the yoke of this exploitative capitalist system is to be in a state of perpetual war.

Even if we submit subserviently to the dogma of the system, we fight to have a decent standard of living. If we resist the continual onslaught on our living standards and our freedoms, we are engaged in a constant battle.

Human decency and justice are incompatible with the drive and desires of the corporate capitalist system, greater production, consumption and ever growing profit.

Somehow this seems acceptable, and war in some shape or form is normalised into everyday life.

Co-operation and mutual aid are replaced by competition. Make it big, get very rich, become a celebrity and somehow you are applauded, struggle with your daily life and you are not worthy of recognition.

Your quality of life is dependent on wealth and wealth is gained by exploitation, a constant system of battle to gain over the other. A constant state of war, in some shape or for, seems to make it much easier to accept the bloody wars created by the system as it tries to dominate resources to continually grow its wealth, power and privileges.

Only when we replace this system of insane economics will we be able to live in peace, building a world on mutual aid, co-operation and respect for all life, only then will we be able to see to the needs of all our people, without the need for competition, exploitation, power, privileges and obscene wealth.

Russia presents new evidence from US-funded Ukraine biolabs

Pentagon-backed facilities made “biological weapons components” and tried to cover it up, Russian military says

Moscow believes that laboratories in Ukraine funded by the US military were making biological weapons components, but that local staff was being kept in the dark about their research, a senior Russian general said on Thursday.

Lieutenant-General Igor Kirillov, who commands the Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Forces of Russia, presented documents and imagery showing why the military has come to such a conclusion.

“We believe that components of biological weapons were being made on the territory of Ukraine,” said Kirillov.

He noted that the documents he was presenting “have the signatures of real officials and are certified by the seals of organizations,” for those journalists and experts in the West doubting their veracity.

One document, dated March 6, 2015 confirms the “direct participation of the Pentagon in the financing of military biological projects in Ukraine,” Kirillov said. The US officially funded the projects through the Ukrainian Ministry of Health, according to the Agreement on Joint Biological Activities. However, the evidence shows that the real recipients of some $32 million in funds were Ukrainian Defense Ministry laboratories in Kiev, Odessa, Lvov and Kharkov.

These facilities were chosen by the US Department of Defense’s Threat Reduction Administration (DTRA), and the contractor Black and Veatch, to carry out the U-P-8 project, aimed at studying the pathogens of Crimea-Congo hemorrhagic fever, leptospirosis, and hantaviruses, Kirillov said, pointing to a slide with the Pentagon’s request.

Six families of viruses, including coronaviruses, and three types of pathogenic bacteria have been obtained during the US projects in Ukraine, Kirillov explained.

The head of the Radiological, Chemical and Biological Defense Troops of the Russian Armed Forces, General Igor Kirillov, maintained that the US and Ukraine deliberately keep silent about biological activities in international reports.

He recalled that, according to the Convention on the Prohibition of Biological and Toxin Weapons, the States parties must communicate to the UN information about the installations and biological activities in progress.

“These are confidence measures that are published to supervise the application of the agreement. Since 2016, when the aforementioned projects began, the United States and Ukraine have been deliberately silent about them in international reports, despite their clear guidance related to biological weapons.

This secrecy is another reason to question the real objectives of the Pentagon in Ukraine,” Kirillov added.

According to him, the Ukrainian laboratories were the main executors of the P-782 project, which consists of studying the transmission of diseases through bats.

The investigation was systematic and had been carried out since at least 2009 under the direct supervision of US specialists in the framework of projects P-382, P-444 and P-568, he specified.

“In the course of these projects, six families of viruses [including coronaviruses] and three types of pathogenic bacteria [plague, brucellosis and leptospirosis] were identified.

This is due to the main characteristics of these pathogens that make them attractive for infection: resistance to drugs, speed of spread from animals to humans, etc,” Kirillov told the briefing.

Thousands of people were seen massing for the event in the Shia-populated Qatif region of the kingdom’s Eastern Province on Sunday.

Protesters have been demanding reforms, freedom of expression, release of political prisoners, and an end to economic and religious discrimination against the oil-rich region.

Saudi- Arabia’s Eastern Qatif Province, which is largely populated by the Shia minority, “similar to Yemen, and is only in Saudi Arabia by right of conquest”, has been the scene of peaceful demonstrations since February 2011.

The protests have met with a heavy-handed crackdown by the regime.Over the past years, Riyadh has also redefined its anti-terrorism laws to target activism.
