TERROR PAYS.
Russia is preparing for trilateral talks by launching ballistic missiles at Ukraine’s critical infrastructure. Repair and rescue operations are underway in the affected regions wherever the security situation allows. In total, the Russians used 172 drones and 36 ballistic missiles, with all the missiles aimed at Kyiv and the surrounding region. Energy infrastructure was once again the main target. The capital is facing serious difficulties with its electricity, water, and heat supplies. Residential buildings and the Northern Bridge were damaged. A kindergarten was partially destroyed. In the Kyiv region, a substation connecting the Rivne and Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plants to Kyiv and Ukraine’s central regions was hit. Substations were also damaged in the Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr, Rivne, Kharkiv, and Dnipro regions. In addition to Kyiv, twelve other regions came under attack. Nine people were injured, including one child.
I thank all our people who defend the country against this terror every day, work to restore what has been damaged, and do everything they can to get Ukraine through the winter. But when Russia is trying to plunge Kyiv – a city of millions – and the entire country into a blackout, Ukraine must not be left alone. We are counting on increased bilateral support from the United States. We are counting on the U.S. Congress to give more attention to Ukraine, because Russia keeps increasing the number of its attacks. It is important that support for Ukraine remains among the priorities of U.S. policy. We are counting on both parties to stand united on matters of security, support for Ukraine, condemnation of Russian aggression, and increased sanctions pressure on Putin. America’s resolve and consistency in supporting Ukraine are crucial in bringing peace closer.

His father carried him into Buchenwald hidden in a sack.
He was 3 years old, and the SS were not supposed to know he existed.
Joseph Schleifstein was born in March 1941 in Sandomierz, Poland, while the town was under German occupation. His parents, Israel and Esther, kept him hidden in cellars and dark corners, because the Nazis took away small children who were too young to work.
Then the family was deported. His mother was sent to Bergen-Belsen. Joseph and his father were sent to Buchenwald, in Germany.
At the camp, small children and the old were sent away to be killed. So his father, a leather worker, put the little boy inside the big sack that held his tools, told him to keep absolutely quiet, and carried him in.
With the help of other prisoners, his father hid Joseph inside the camp. He spent his fourth birthday there.
According to his story, the guards did eventually find him. Instead of killing him, some of them made the little boy a kind of camp mascot. When senior Nazi officials came to inspect, he still had to disappear.
In April 1945, American soldiers liberated Buchenwald. Joseph remembered that day with joy: he no longer had to hide, there was more to eat, and the Americans gave him "lots and lots" of rides on their tanks and jeeps.
He and his father went looking for his mother. They found her alive in Dachau, and after the war the family started over in New York.
Joseph worked for AT&T for 25 years. He did not talk about Buchenwald for decades, not even to his own children. Then a film came out about a father who hides his little son in a concentration camp, Life Is Beautiful, and an archivist came across his old file. A search for the real boy began.
They found him living quietly in New York City.

This is Volodymyr. He is 69. He is deaf. And he rode his bicycle out of an occupied city — all alone.
He couldn’t hear the drones flying overhead. And he rode 60 kilometres in a single day, crossing the “zero line” — on a bicycle.
Volodymyr Voichenko stayed in Polohy after russia occupied the city.
He stayed because he had to care for his sick mother-in-law. And then hell began.
“For several days in a row, russian soldiers came to my house and threatened to shoot me. My dog would sit by the doorstep all the time. They threatened her with a pistol, too. I was terrified,” Volodymyr recalls.
They took everything from his home. The television, computer, appliances, dinnerware, and even his son’s tools from the basement. Everything they could carry — they took it all.
For more than a year, he received no pension. The russians had emptied his bank account.
He lived without gas, water or electricity, eating only what he could grow in his garden. He went to the post office for humanitarian aid, but was turned away.
Then he witnessed something he will never forget. At a destroyed gas station near his home, russian forces had created a mass grave.
“There was a huge KamAZ truck. Two russian soldiers would bring the bodies of people and simply throw them into a common pit. Their faces were all horrifying. After the soldiers left, we would come closer and see the bodies in the pit.”
After his mother-in-law died, he realised he had to escape.
He locked the door, packed his documents and a little food into a backpack, got on his bicycle and set off.
Through occupied villages, across the frontline zone, past burned-out military vehicles and the bodies of soldiers.
He avoided mines. Hid from drones. Near a river where there was no bridge, he spotted russian soldiers and Chechens. He found a plank and used it to get his bicycle across.
At dawn, Ukrainian soldiers stopped him near Orikhiv.
He showed them his deaf person's ID card and passport. They couldn't believe what they were seeing.
“How did you make it through? There are drones flying everywhere, and the whole area is mined.”
One of the soldiers crossed himself and said: “Keep going.”
When Volodymyr finally reached Zaporizhzhia, an interpreter at the local deaf club could hardly believe he had made it all the way there on his own.
They called his son.
“Your father is here.”
Vitalii was in shock.
“How? He’s still under occupation.”
They replied: “No, your father made it through the zero line on a bicycle. We can hardly believe it ourselves.”
Now father and son live together in Kalush.
Volodymyr says it is peaceful there. And Vitalii says he can finally stop worrying so much about his father.

This is a great discernment learning opportunity. When trying to identify grifters, employ network analysis heavily.
What do I mean by that?
"Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm." - Proverbs 13:20
"Do not make friends with an angry man, and do not associate with a hot-tempered man, or you may learn their ways and get yourself ensnared." - Proverbs 22:24-25
"Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evildoers. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way." - Proverbs 4:14-15
Who you spend time with matters. Who your friends are matters. Who your allies are matters. Etc. Etc.
When spending time online, especially on social media, you may be confronted with dozens, or even hundreds of people you know very little about, providing impactful information about important topics like politics, religion, war, current events, culture, the law, health, fitness, and more. Before you accept this information as accurate, relevant, and edifying, you need to vet your source. This is difficult to do quickly.
Often you need to watch folks for months, or even years to learn if they're truly reliable or not, to learn if they are good-faith actors or not.
In order to make a quicker assessment, you can look at their posting history. What have they said recently? What have they said in the past? Does it check out? Is anything fishy? What stands out?
And last, but certainly not least, who are they associated with? When you identify one bad-faith grifter, it's like a finger-hold on a wall when you're rock climbing. It's a base from which to start. You can start to see their associates, their allies. Who are they agreeing with? Who are they propping up?
And what are those people saying? Are they spreading the same kind of lies, propaganda, and disinformation? If so, you can confidently place them in the same "network."
When you encounter someone new, if you already know who some of the bad actors are, it's like a gift when you see them propping up somebody you already know is bad. It takes out the guess work. And the more vile the bad-actor they're supporting, the more easily you can put them in the category of "not reliable."
Nick Fuentes is one of the worst of the worst. He props up both Communism and Nazism. He sometimes masquerades as a Conservative or Republican, then he tells his followers to vote Democrat. Then he as the nerve to continue to bill himself as some kind of Conservative influencer. His personal morals are off-the-charts evil.
Anyone propping him up is either very evil themselves, or colossally incompetent. When you have over a million followers like @BrandonStraka, you don't get the benefit of the doubt. You are an operator in this system, you know how it works. You don't get to play dumb or plead ignorance.
MARK. AND. AVOID.
ONWARD.

🇨🇳 🇺🇸 Imagine China invades the United States. Chinese troops occupy Alaska. Chinese missiles destroy American cities, power stations and hospitals. Beijing complains that Washington has been behaving provocatively by refusing to surrender.
President Donald Trump appears on television, desperately appealing to Europe for help.
Europe’s response?
“Donald, shut up. You don’t have the cards. You’re in a very bad position. You should be grateful we’re even talking to you.”
Then a Chinese missile strikes an elementary school in Washington. Dozens of American children are killed.
A European leader is asked whether Beijing should be held responsible.
“Look, it’s terrible. Absolutely terrible. But we must remember that people are dying on both sides. Chinese soldiers are being killed by American troops, too. We cannot simply blame China because some American children have died. We need to understand the legitimate security concerns of both countries.”
Meanwhile, reports emerge that 50,000 American children have been forcibly taken by Chinese occupation forces. Children from Ohio, Kentucky, Kansas and Texas have been transported to China, separated from their parents and placed with Chinese families.
Europe urges everyone to remain calm.
“Frankly, some of these children have been placed with better Chinese families. Very respectable people. Lovely homes. We mustn’t allow emotional arguments about children to derail the peace process.”
Trump demands their immediate return.
European leaders roll their eyes.
“Honestly, the man is exhausting. Every time we speak to Trump, it’s the same bloody thing. Anti-aircraft missiles, air defence systems, ammunition, weapons, weapons, weapons. Can’t he just shut up for five minutes? We’re trying to negotiate peace here.”
Meanwhile, Europe demands that Washington immediately stop attacking Chinese oil refineries and military infrastructure.
“American strikes are escalating the conflict and threatening global energy prices. Beijing needs reassurance that its infrastructure will be protected.”
China continues systematically destroying America’s electricity grid, bridges and railway networks.
Europe calls for restraint. From America, naturally.
European envoys then fly to Beijing to negotiate lucrative deals involving gas from occupied Alaska and a magnificent new North American security architecture.
“We must address China’s legitimate security concerns. Perhaps America could withdraw its troops from certain states and reconsider its military alliances. After all, Beijing has genuine concerns about American military forces operating so close to Chinese positions.”
The Chinese positions are in Texas.
Trump protests that nobody has asked the Americans what they think.
“Donald, we’re negotiating peace. Please stop being difficult. China’s security concerns are just as legitimate as yours.”
Eventually, Brussels announces a historic agreement with Beijing determining the future of North America.
The Americans are invited to applaud.
Now, if this sounds like foreign policy devised by a committee of spectacularly incompetent estate agents attempting to sell a house while its owners are being murdered upstairs, congratulations. Your brain is functioning.
In modern American diplomacy, the country invading its neighbour deserves security guarantees, commercial opportunities and understanding.
And the children?
Well, there are always two sides to every story.
The moral collapse of a government.

❗️The GUR (Ukrainian Military Intelligence) already knows the names of the Russian killers involved in the airstrike on the school in Komsomolske.
At least 53 people were killed, and over fifty are still missing.
According to military intelligence, the strike on Komsomolske was planned by Colonel Fyodor Vladimirovich Zubakov, the head of the fire support group of the staff of the "Dnepr" grouping of the Russian army.
Four Su-34 aircraft were used to carry out the war crime.
The tactical aviation group No. 5, formed on the basis of the 11th and 559th aviation regiments, was involved in the bombing.
The crews are:
* Captain Yeliseyev, Serhiy Oleksandrovych;
* Captain Zverev, Dmytro Andriyovych;
* Senior Lieutenant Plotnikov, Rodion Serhiyovych;
* Senior Lieutenant Ignatiev, Mykyta Viktorovych;
* Senior Lieutenant Sokolenko, Maksym Viktorovych;
* Lieutenant Perekhrest, Vadym Olehovych.
The crew of another Russian aircraft is being identified.
They will be punished

Alexander Dugin urges Russians to shoot Ukrainians in the heart, face and head. Even as he calls them "brothers and sisters." He casts the killing as a route to "future unity" and tells Ukrainians it is done for their own salvation. That is his vision of unity.
The language of family is doing the work here. Dugin calls Ukrainians kin while urging Russians to kill them. "Salvation" is his word for putting bullets in their faces. This is extermination rhetoric dressed up as reconciliation.

Electricity substations, bridges, schools, humanitarian aid points — Russia is striking everything it can to destroy life in Ukraine as temperatures begin to drop. And it’s only working because we won’t help Ukraine with air defense. The new Congress must fix this ASAP.
Russia’s ballistic campaign against Ukraine continues, and unfortunately, because of the shortage of Patriot missiles, there have been significant hits. Today, Ukraine is generating more electricity than it consumes. But because Russia is striking substations and power grids, we are seeing significant shortages in Kyiv and other regions.
The Russians are striking bridges across the Dnipro – from Kyiv all the way to Zaporizhzhia. During the night leading into today, the Kyiv Northern Bridge was hit. Six ballistic missiles were fired at the bridge, and four struck it.
Our country will be represented in several formats in November that can bring Ukraine greater strength: the G7, the Coalition of the Willing, and Ramstein. We are working to make each of these formats as productive as possible. And the results must focus first and foremost on air defenses and energy.

This is the old, evil man who stole a Ukrainian baby for his old wife. The baby's name is Margarita.
Her real mom still wants her back.
Head of a Russian political party, Sergey Mironov, and his new wife, have adopted a child kidnapped from Ukraine.
Russian media"Vazhnye Istorii" has obtained documents confirming that the 70-year-old MP, leader of the party "A Just Russia" Sergey Mironov, who actively supports the war, together with his wife Inna Varlamova adopted a child kidnapped from Ukraine.
At the end of August 2022, Inna Varlamova arrived in Kherson region together with Mironov's first deputy in the State Duma, Yana Lantratova. They did not leave alone. The local occupation authorities issued power of attorney for them to take out two children - 10-month-old Margarita Prokopenko and two-year-old Ilia Vashchenko, Hromadske reported. These children lived in an orphanage in Kherson before the full-scale war began.
In December 2022, Sergey Mironov and Inna Varlamova adopted Margarita Prokopenko, taken from Kherson. She was just over a year old. At the request of the adopters, the personal data of the child can be changed, which was done: the girl became Marina Sergeevna Mironova. Her name and parents were changed, but also the place of birth: instead of the Ukrainian Kherson - Podolsk near Moscow.
According to "Vazhnye Istorii", this is the first documented case of adoption of a Ukrainian child by a Russian politician of such rank. According to lawyers interviewed by the publication, from the point of view of international law, this can be qualified as a war crime and is considered genocide.

Their plan, which they say I'm 100% right about, is to
1) Make sure there's no viable candidates at all in 2028;
2) To ensure that the Republican Party itself is completely shattered into small, weak pieces over the 8 years starting 4 years ago;
3) To position themselves, though small, to be the biggest and strongest of those pieces in 4-6 years so that electoral necessity causes conservatives to rally around them;
4) Ensure Republican losses and DSA wins so that we have insane Democrat/Marxist abuses that radicalize us and are unbearable in the meantime;
5) Then to forward a strongman in 2032 or 2036 who ends the Constitution if it hasn't already been ended by the DSA.
They might have some fantasies about ruling the country, but the real objective is to split it into pieces that hate each other.
The larger strategy this plugs into is that the Russia, China, Iran, NK, BRICS (New Axis) rises and strengthens itself internally in its various power poles in the East while the Western Alliance and each strong Western nation shatter, diminish, impoverish, and weaken themselves.
The model is Dugin's anti-West, anti-American multipoliarity plan, which is like the evil twin of George Soros's "Open Society" left-wing Mondialist plan to break the West.
Soros, et al., want one big global order, so the Western nations, US especially, have to be weakened from within so they'll be pathetic enough to join a "global EU."
Dugin and the New Right want a multipolar world split into three to five superpower poles: the West, Russia, China, Islam, at least, that mostly mind their own business. This is only possible if the West and America are severely diminished, and they must also be punished for the last 500 years of history by being the weakest of these poles.
That means isolating us ("America First") so we ignore the rest of the world as they build their poles of power there and weakening us mostly by getting us fragmented, balkanized (ideologically or literally), infighting, or even at civil war with one another. This is what the New Right is facilitating in America now.
Where the Woke Left wants to diminish America to get it to join one global order, the Woke Right wants to diminish America to usher in a new global order where we're weak and irrelevant.
What you see from Fishnut here is just the next coordinated step in this program, and the whole New Right, even the ones who claim not to like him or the Groypers or Fuentes, are participating in this program, playing their own roles in a vast strategy.
