Russia Showed Its Doom’s Day Weapon In Action
Posted by M. C. on February 17, 2025
Apparently, Moscow warned the NATO countries about the impending strike in advance. That is why there was hysteria in Kiev the day before. Russian revenge was not long to wait but Kyiv and its patrons were surprised by its scale, target and timing.
No foreign air defense system is technically able to intercept it.
Not a good look for the country running the show.

On November 21, the modern warfare entered its new stage. The war between Russia and the West has changed forever. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation launched their advanced medium-range ballistic missile.
The missile struck the State Factory “Southern Machine-Building Production Union”, officially abbreviated as Pivdenmash or Yuzhmash in the city of Dnipro (Dnepropetrovsk). According to local reports, the large industrial facility suffered strategic destruction. All communications and traffic were blocked in the area, a lot of ambulances arrived on the spot. Officers of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) came to the area. The scale of destruction is likely to be shown by the satellite imagery soon.
The Ukrainian military claimed that Russian hypersonic Kinzhal missiles were also used in the attack. Another Patriot, the US most advanced air defense system, was reportedly destroyed on the outskirts of the city before the main blow.

Moscow showed its Doom’s Day weapon in action. The RS-26 Rubezh ballistic missile was reportedly launched from the Kapustin Yar test site in the Astrakhan Region of Russia. The flight time to the target located about 800 kilometers away is estimated to be less than 5 minutes. The speed of the combat units at the final stage of the flight was about 5-7 kilometers per second.
The RS-26 Rubezh is a medium range ballistic missile, which is normally designed to carry nuclear warheads. It was developed by the Moscow Institute of Thermal Engineering as part of the Avangard program. It was created on the basis of the RS-24 Yars ballistic missile. Information about this mobile missile system, like its rocket, is strictly classified.
The RS-26 Rubezh reportedly has a starting weight of about 40-50 tons and is capable of delivering 4 separate combat units at a distance of 2,000 to 6,000 kilometers. It is three times larger and much more powerful than the Iskander mobile short-range ballistic missile system.
It has an advanced protection against the missile defense system and reportedly four individual thermonuclear warheads with a capacity of 150-300 kilotons each. No foreign air defense system is technically able to intercept it.

The Fed Has Stopped Pretending that Price Inflation Is Going Away
Posted by M. C. on February 15, 2025
Congress (both sides) spends it and the Fed prints it. Don’t believe a word either tells you.
At its September 2024 meeting, the Fed’s FOMC cut the target federal funds rate by a historically large 50 basis points and then justified this cut on the grounds that “The Committee has gained greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward 2 percent, and judges that the risks to achieving its employment and inflation goals are roughly in balance.”
The FOMC again cut the target rate in November and then again in December. Each time, the FOMC’s official statement said something to the effect of “[price] inflation is headed to two percent. Specifically, the November statement said “[Price inflation] has made progress toward the Committee’s 2 percent objective.” The December statement said exactly the same thing.
It remains unclear what motivated the FOMC to slice the target rate so drastically in September. Was it a cynical political ploy to stimulate the economy right before an election? Or was the Fed spooked by weak economic data? We don’t know, and the Fed is a secretive organization.
But whatever the Fed actually believes, the committee’s claims about “greater confidence” in falling price inflation is now gone. The FOMC announced in January that it would not lower the target rate, and the FOMC also removed from its official statement the line about making progress “toward the Committee’s 2 percent objective.” That sentence disappeared from the written statement, although Powell, in the press conference, apparently felt the need to remind the audience that “Inflation has moved much closer to our 2 percent longer-run goal…” He nonetheless failed to mention anything about continued progress.
It looks increasingly like all that confidence about “sustainable progress” on price inflation back in September—in the heat of election season, of course—was just one of the Fed’s many bogus, politically motivated forecasts.
Even if the Fed truly is motivated by the official data, though, it’s clear that the Fed now has good reason to downplay talk of declaring victory on the Fed’s two-percent inflation goal.
Recent official data—which generally reflects the best scenario that government bean counters can muster—shows plenty of bad news in this area. According to the Fed’s preferred inflation measure—PCE inflation—year-over-year price inflation reached an eight-month high in December, at 2.6 percent. (December is the most recent available number on PCE.) If we look at January’s headline CPI inflation, released on Wednesday, the picture is even worse. Year-over-year CPI inflation hit a nine-month high in January, at 3.0 percent, and month-to-month growth was at an eighteen-month high of 0.5 percent.
Thanks to the Fed’s unrestrained embrace of monetary inflation from 2020 to 2022, American consumers are still facing the grim reality of rising prices on basic necessities. In January’s CPI report, some of the largest jumps in prices were in food (2.5 percent), energy services (2.5 percent), other services (4.3 percent) and shelter (4.4 percent).
Wholesale prices also suggested that we won’t be seeing much relief from price inflation. According to new producer price index numbers, released on Thursday, year-over-year growth in the PPI reached a 24-month high of 3.5 percent. This is bad news for those hoping that the Fed’s predictions of falling prices might somehow come true. CNN delivered the bad news on Thursday: “The stronger numbers seen in Thursday’s PPI will tend to translate into continued consumer price inflation through the middle of the year.”

Pulling the Money Chain: The NGO Network in Ukraine and the Global War on Terror
Posted by M. C. on February 12, 2025

Razom also has government and university contacts. Samantha Power, the outgoing director of USAID, the government agency responsible for foreign aid, has been a featured speaker at Razom-hosted events, and so has the U.S. State Department’s Special Representative for Ukraine’s Economic Recovery, Penny Pritzker. Columbia University, which has received extensive donations from Soros as well as tax exemptions from Washington, hosts regular pro-Ukrainian events at its Harriman Institute, where Chomiak serves on the board.
Detritus from Joe Biden’s administration doesn’t just amount to the obvious—inflation and deficit spending, regulations and wars. There’s also been a more subtle shift off of these failures, affecting who has power in our country and how they’ll use it in the future.
Nowhere is the shift less noticed or more definite than in the world of humanitarianism, which has been enriched these past three years by the previous administration’s proxy wars. Since 2022—when the Biden White House responded to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by neither escalating nor defusing but prolonging—a network of humanitarian non-profits has grown up around the conflict. This network has fed off the deaths of Ukrainians and the piling on of debt for future Americans through its operators’ deep contacts with the United States government and its outgrowths.
This network is worth investigating on its own. But with the advent of the second Trump Administration which is looking to wind down the war, its players appear to be pivoting from Ukraine to the Middle East: from ginning up funds for an endless proxy war to ginning them up for a repeat of the Global War on Terror.
The most obvious entry point into this network is Ukraine NGO Coordination Network (UNCN), which has a small staff but a wide reach: forty-two organizations are members. Many of them are some version of globalist: “Cross Border Civilians,” “Aviation without Borders,” “Global Outreach Doctors,” “Medical Teams Worldwide.” And many of these have the institutional links one might expect. Cross Border Civilians recruits from the World Economic Forum while Global Outreach Doctors traffics in Black Lives Matter. But even UNCN non-profits with close connections to Ukraine are much more tied into Washington DC-backed institutions than they first appear.
Listed first of all these organizations is Razom, a Ukrainian-American non-profit active since 2014. Its president, Dora Chomiak, is a Princeton and Columbia graduate who served in the 1990s as a Director of Regional Media Programs for George Soros’ newly-founded Open Society Institute. Under Chomiak’s leadership, Razom has a spot at the World Economic Forum, a regular Soros haunt. It also has a strong presence at Bard College, a major accepter of Ukrainian refugees which recently received a $500 million endowment pledge from Soros, whose second wife directs the Bard Graduate Center.
Razom also has government and university contacts. Samantha Power, the outgoing director of USAID, the government agency responsible for foreign aid, has been a featured speaker at Razom-hosted events, and so has the U.S. State Department’s Special Representative for Ukraine’s Economic Recovery, Penny Pritzker. Columbia University, which has received extensive donations from Soros as well as tax exemptions from Washington, hosts regular pro-Ukrainian events at its Harriman Institute, where Chomiak serves on the board.
Another prominent member of UNCN’s network is Help Ukraine, founded by Brian Mefford, who also founded Wooden Horse Strategies, which by its own description is “a Kyiv-based consulting firm focusing on USAID and EU project development and evaluation, risk analysis, due diligence, political strategy and strategic communications” that “provides clients with both Ukraine and regional insight that achieves results for their projects, businesses and policy objectives.” In 2023, Wooden Horse Strategies was listed by Russian officials as under contract with Ukraine’s Science and Technology Center to help carry out “the United States’ military biological programs in Ukraine.”
This claim isn’t verifiable, but it is verifiable that Ukraine’s Science and Technology Center contracted with Wooden Horse Strategies to combat “disinformation” about the Ukrainian war effort.

Caliphate Forming on U.S. Northern Border: How Will President Trump React?
Posted by M. C. on February 11, 2025
“Against that backdrop, Canada—specifically the Peel Regional Police (PRP) in Ontario, the third-largest police force in the country—has made community engagement a priority under the directives of its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) team part of the Community Safety & Well Being Command, what that bureaucratic word-salad means is beyond me. Nonetheless, the DEI team has released new engagement protocols that have angered many officers, who are now at a breaking point due to the demands placed upon them by extremists operating through a series of intermediaries laundering ISIS like extremist philosophy within Canadian Law enforcement institutions.”
Peel Regional Police DEI Squad Submits to Extremists and Puts Canada-US Relations at Risk.
It’s no secret to anyone paying attention that Canada has faced an Islamist extremist problem for well over a decade. This issue has now reached a boiling point, resulting in numerous mass protests across the country in support of extremist groups linked to global terrorist organizations notorious for their brutal acts, including beheading and burning innocent civilians alive. The gruesome nature of these crimes is why the attacks on Israel on October 7th, 2023, remain permanent scars in the minds of those who have witnessed the abhorrent grotesque footage.
Much like Europe over the past 25 years, Canada is now struggling with the presence of alien values within its borders. The political class—politicians, staffers, lobbyists, and media—cower behind catchphrases like “cultural accommodation” and seek plausible deniability through bureaucratic fog, hoping the public won’t notice.
This same pattern of behaviour in the United Kingdom—a country now reduced to a meme of its former self—has led to the implementation of pathetic blasphemy laws while turning a blind eye to systemic, ethnically targeted gang rape by Pakistani gangs for over a decade. Some estimates suggest that the number of victims, primarily children and young adolescents, reaches into the hundreds of thousands across 19 cities over 20-plus years. This is the true evil of religiously motivated sex trafficking.
DEI Privileges for Mosques Over Serving All Canadians
Against that backdrop, Canada—specifically the Peel Regional Police (PRP) in Ontario, the third-largest police force in the country—has made community engagement a priority under the directives of its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) team part of the Community Safety & Well Being Command, what that bureaucratic word-salad means is beyond me. Nonetheless, the DEI team has released new engagement protocols that have angered many officers, who are now at a breaking point due to the demands placed upon them by extremists operating through a series of intermediaries laundering ISIS like extremist philosophy within Canadian Law enforcement institutions.
Recent guidelines issued by the Community Safety & Well Being Command DEI squad have drawn particular concern. DEI philosophy, now illegal in much of the United States because it has been discredited by former practitioners as little more than institutionalized, targeted racism dressed up with a fancy name. Despite this, Peel Regional Police continues to uphold this corrosive philosophy—so much for the anti-racism training courses police cadets are required to pass while attending police academy.
It’s worth noting that the cities of Mississauga & Brampton located in Peel Region are known epicentres for drug smuggling, human trafficking, and terrorism-related money laundering. One can only imagine this won’t go unnoticed by members of the recently elected Trump administration watching Canada closely with a magnifying glass cut from extreme skepticism and distrust.
The following policing directive from Peel Regional Police DEI squad outlines how law enforcement personnel should conduct themselves when entering mosques in the region. The DEI guidelines for non-emergency interactions in mosques applies regardless of a connection to listed terrorist organizations.
