January 8, 2026: 42-minute mega audio!!! Oreshnik IRBM (only 2nd ever used,
and 1st was largely demonstrative) targets the YooKrayne’s largest
underground gas storage facility, as north YooKrayne (incl. Kiev) is about
to suffer a near-historic cold spell; REAL POSSIBILITY of armed U.S.-Russia
naval standoff or even conflict if Nero continues to pursue five more
fleeing Russian “shadow fleet” tankers; the Minneapolis schyttshow in the
context of the world’s dumbest-ever approach to mass arrests of migrants; a
bad flu season, sure—but nothing will happen until/unless the H3N2 mixes
with the H5N1, in which case, bar the door; and IRAN LIKELY TO COLLAPSE
WITHIN SOME DAYS. // January 9: Aside from an “artificial” 2-3 months
during the 2020 Chynavyrus, the USA has not seen a recession or depression
in over 15 years, and thus, everyone figures the business cycle is over.
It’s not over, but what won’t happen again is a “trigger” event such as a
bank run, a stock market crash, or a really bad Government econometrics
release, none of which will be allowed. And so what we have is a slow grind
down, without the most obvious, exacerbating “red flags”, and when it’s
finally recognized, it will be much, much too late to do anything. // Iran
will fall within days. Massive protests nationwide, gunbattles in outlying
areas, Kurds in revolt, IRGC deployed in the capital but not having much
effect. FIRST reports (not verifiable) of mass killings of demonstrators
(peaceful or not) in outlying areas. Entire city hall (municipal
headquarters building) in Karaj, fourth largest city of Iran, has been
gutted by fire. // Oreshnik update #2—wow! The non-WMD WMD. // January 10:
HOLY FAAHHK!!! Kremlin’s #1 Telegram quasi-mouthpiece & public ombudsman
Yurii Podoliaka provides a comprehensive estimate (and it’s NOT low) of
Russian war deaths. Why, why now, what does it mean??? // AT LEAST IN THE
NEAR TO MEDIUM TERM, IRAN WILL LOOK MUCH MORE LIKE LIBYA OR YUGOSLAVIA THAN
JORDAN OR MORROCO. // Dreizin’s own estimate of Russian war dead,
extrapolating from Ossetia. // January 11: De facto shutdown of the Kennedy
Center is likely this year. // The Ukraine cold spell strengthens. Again,
either the lights get knocked out this winter, or never. AND, for Russia,
is it really about destruction… or simply, “situational” deterrence? //
January 13: The ONLY way to explain why the Circus openly targeted Powell
just four months before his chairmanship expires, is….. // The “Kavanaugh
Stop” ruling was a Pyrrhic victory. Its abuse WILL be remedied, in some
fashion or other, perhaps not directly, but nonetheless. // Just in case
anyone missed it, pursuing additional quasi-Russian rust-bucket tankers
into the north Atlantic is no longer on the agenda. Even the Pentagon’s
spokesman basically said as much. Verily (praise be, in sweet JAYZUSS’ holy
name!!!), given Venezuela and Iran and the Greenland nonsense, and with
Russian subs moving into position, they do not need any more foreign drama
right now. Mussolini is incompetent, but he is no lunatic. //

Crony government revolving door: Clintons get rich from corporatist and Israel-First interests they favor while in office
Bill Clinton’s $80 Million Payday, or Why Politicians Don’t Care That Much About Reelectionnakedcapitalism.com
On December 21, 2000, as President, Bill Clinton signed a bill known as the Commodities Futures Modernization Act. This law ensured that derivatives could not be regulated, setting the stage for the financial crisis. Just two months later, on February 5, 2001, Clinton received $125,000 from Morgan Stanley, in the form of a payment for a speech Clinton gave for the company in New York City. A few weeks later, Credit Suisse also hired Clinton for a speech, at a $125,000 speaking fee, also in New York. It turns out, Bill Clinton could make a lot of money, for not very much work...
Today, Clinton is worth something on the order of $80 million (probably much more, but we don’t really know), and these speeches have become a lucrative and consistent revenue stream for his family....
Over the course of the next ten years after his Presidency, Clinton brought in roughly $8-10 million a year in speaking fees. In 2004, Clinton got $250,000 from Citigroup and $150,000 from Deutsche Bank. Goldman paid him $300,000 for two speeches, one in Paris. As the bubble peaked, in 2006, Clinton got $150,000 paydays each from Citigroup (twice), Lehman Brothers, the Mortgage Bankers Association, and the National Association of Realtors. In 2007, it was Goldman again, twice, Lehman, Citigroup, and Merrill Lynch. He didn’t just reap speaking fee cash from the financial services sector – corporate titans like Oracle and outsourcing specialist Cisco paid up, as did many Israel-focused groups, Middle Eastern interests, and universities. Does this explain the finance-friendly, oil-friendly and Israel First-friendly policies pursued by the State Department under Hillary Clinton? Who knows? But if you could legally deliver millions in cash to the husband of a high-level political official, it wouldn’t hurt your policy goals...MORE...LINK
