Hello, you beautiful people and welcome to the Adams archive. My name is Austin Adams, and thank you so much for listening today on today's episode. We are going to go deep into a topic that has been irking me for quite some time. And I'm sure it might irk you a little bit too, but we'll get to that in just a minute. The first thing that we're going to discuss today is going to be a Democratic congressman. Pulled a fire alarm to get out of doing his job. You heard right. That right there. You heard right that right there. A grown man in a position of power Elected nonetheless pulled a fire alarm to get out of doing his job. So Peter Doocy questions Kareen Jean Pierre quite A bit on this. It's pretty comical. Some people are laughing in the background during the white house press brief. Um, but pretty crazy stuff. So we'll, we'll touch on that first. The next thing we'll discuss is that there was a leaked us strategy document on Ukraine, which cites corruption as a real threat coming out of Politico. Could you imagine that? Could you imagine that corruption in Ukraine, which highlights on this article that Joe Biden's actually holding, holding Zelensky here? In his arm and whispering sweet nothings in his ears a lot of according to this picture. Um, so interesting stuff there. Then we'll move on to the next. which is that the Pentagon funded a study, speaking of Joe Biden, which warns that dementia is among us officials and poses a legitimate national security threat. So we'll read that together coming from the intercept. And then last but not least, we're going to talk about the October 4th. FEMA advisory, which is going to hit everybody's cell phones, everybody's TV and everybody's radio simultaneously at two 20 on October 4th. Now, if you're listening to this after that, which is. Potentially the most likely situation as this will come out on the third if you're listening to this after that don't worry What we're really discussing as a result of this because some there's some crazy theories about this October 4th thing Some people throw around the word like zombie. I don't know if I agree with that I don't spoiler alert but what I do think is a legitimate conversation to be had around this is the potential harm of massive Frequencies being put out nationally simultaneously and among different mediums and what that could mean for the general public so that that pulls us into a conversation about 5G 5G being a very hot topic when it comes to the well and then really not not getting enough conversation around it as it probably should, because there's been very little studies done on this stuff and its effects on people. And what has been done comes out from almost the 60s, but it's pretty wild. We're going to read into some of the articles, some of the discussions that have been had. Some of the concerns, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. just spoke about this on C SPAN, um, in a conversation with a potential voter, where he says that he's, um, actually representing a large group of people who were, uh, medically affected by 5G, so I, this isn't in the realm of craziness, guys. They put up these massive, huge, ugly... You've must have seen them. If you haven't, you need to open your eyes because they're everywhere, literally everywhere. Um, and we, we just don't, maybe we should be asking why, right? So we'll dive deep into that. And when I say deep, I'm saying deep. We're going to go there.

Um, same time, got my purple belt in jujitsu, had some awesome things happen in other sections of my life that just kind of made all the craziness happen at once.

So I can put out even more content. So, um, look out for that and thank you for sticking around. All right. Without further ado, let's jump into it. The Adams archive. All right, let's jump into it. The very first thing that we're going to discuss today is that a democratic congressman named Jamal Bowman pulled a fire alarm simply because he didn't want to do his job. Now we'll see here in a second that Peter Doocy does a pretty good job of undressing Kareem Jean Pierre. Um, not in the way you're thinking, you dirty mind. Um, but in this conversation during a White House press briefing, he asked a simple question that ends up being pretty funny. But let's talk about this first because could you imagine that you have an important meeting coming up? Maybe even an important deadline, right? Your boss needs something on time, needs you to make a decision, he needs you to send you some documents, right? And instead of doing that thing that you're supposed to do for your job. You go out to the hallway, you find that shiny red box and you pull the fire alarm. Do you think that you would have your job? For very long. If every time you had a responsibility or a deadline to meet you pulled the fire alarm. No Every single one of us normal individuals would lose our job would lose our livelihood That's just absolute especially if you got caught red handed on Video just like this congressman here right now. Leave it to a Democrat to I don't know, find some baby way out of doing their actual job. And guess what? Guess what? One person stood up for him in this AOC. Could you imagine that? All right, so here is Peter Doocy discussing this with Kareem Jean Pierre asking her a question. Now, let's go ahead and watch this video. As always, you can hover head over to YouTube, or join the sub stack, it'll be added there. But head over to YouTube, subscribe there. And you can actually watch The videos with me on your screen, you can, uh, read the articles alongside me that I have up on the screen next to me, head over there, Austin, or the, I'm sorry, the Adams archive on YouTube, uh, subscribe and watch it with me. All right. Um, so here we go. Here's the video. Let's watch it to gather. Thank you, Corrine. When president by never tried to get out of a meeting. By pulling a fire alarm. Are you talking about something specifically? A Democratic member of Congress pulled a fire alarm around a series of boats. No fire. Is that appropriate? What I can tell you is, uh, I have not spoken to the President about this. Uh, and so, just not going to comment. I will leave it up to you. I know there's a House process moving forward right now. I'll leave it to the House. Okay, uh, since President Biden is so pro union, is he okay with 75, 000 healthcare workers possibly walking off the job this week? What I can tell you is that we've said this many times already this morning. So there was a, you hear all of the chuckles during the briefing of everybody in there realizing how Peter Doocy just tactfully slipped that in there. Um, pretty, pretty funny to see. And you see, it's so crazy to me that this woman's job is to answer questions. And I would say 90 percent of the time that she's asked a question, at least one that's not teed up for her by CNN. She doesn't answer it. Your entire job is to answer questions, right? It's like having a customer service. She's literally the customer service of The White House of the government. She's the only talking head that we have yet. Imagine if you called Ikea and you said, Hey, I think that you guys sent me the wrong part or the wrong instructions. I can't figure out how to put this thing together. I have no idea what I'm doing. It's very complicated. And also. You sent me an inflatable ducky instead of a dresser that I ordered. And they go, we understand, we understand that you're concerned about that. And I would love to answer that for you. However, at the very moment, I don't have access to the proper documents to answer that for you, and I wish you the best. Moving on. Next person. It's like, no, no. Your entire job is to answer questions. You should answer the questions. Especially when the people holding you accountable is the entire nation. Only, nobody seems to be holding these people accountable. Right, and that, that maybe is the bigger issue here. Alright, so that's a pretty funny one. Let's move on here. Because we have some longer stuff to get into. I have about 10 different articles on the FEMA situation in 5G and maybe 3 articles to get to before then. Um, but, the next article that we're going to talk about here comes from Politico. And it says that there is a leaked US strategy to On Ukraine, which was outlined saying that there's corruption as a legitimate threat. Could you imagine that? Ukraine? And corruption? No way! So Politico says, A report obtained by Politico details specific plans to reform Ukrainian institutions and warns Western support may hinge on cutting corruption. The Ukrainian, uh, President, um, Volodymyr Zelensky and President Joe Biden meet in the Oval Office for this picture where Joe Biden seems to be, I don't know, enacting some sort of corruption where he's got his arm around him, whispering in his ear, like He smells, uh, a 12 year old's perfume. Um, it says that the Biden administration officials are far more worried about corruption in Ukraine than they publicly admit. A confidential U. S. strategy document obtained by Politico suggests, it says the sensitive but unclassified version of the long term U. S. plan lays out numerous steps Washington is taking to help Kiev root out maleficence. and otherwise reform an array of Ukrainian sectors. It stresses that corruption could cause Western allies to abandon Ukrainians, a fight against Russia's invasion, and that Kiev cannot put off the anti graft effort. Perceptions of high level corruption, the confidential version of the document warns, could undermine the Ukrainian public's and foreign leaders confidence in the wartime government. That's starker than the analysis available in the little noticed public version of the 22 page document, which the Department of State, or the State Department, appears to have posted on its website with no fanfare about a month ago. The confidential version of the Integrated Country Strategy is about three times as long as and contains many more details about U. S. objectives in Ukraine. From privatizing its banks... to helping more schools teach English, to encouraging its military to adopt NATO protocols. Many goals are designed to reduce the corruption that, uh, bedevils the country. Bedevils? Well, that's a good word. Um, the quiet release of the strategy and the fact that the toughest language was left in the confidential version underscores the messaging challenge facing the Biden team. The administration wants to press Ukraine to cut graft, not least because U. S. dollars are at stake. But being too loud about the issue could embolden opponents of U. S. aid to Ukraine, many of them Republican lawmakers who are trying to block such assistance. Oh, no, don't send 40. trillion dollars to Ukraine, that would be terrible. Um, yeah, I agree. Um, any perception of weakened American support for Kiev could cause more European countries to think twice about their role. When it comes to the Ukrainians, there are some honest conversations happening behind the scenes, a US official familiar with Ukrainian policy said. Uh, Ukrainian graft has long been a concern of US officials all the way to Joe Biden. But the topic was Def, def, deemphasize, deemphasized? Wow, whoever is writing this article is, you're doing too much, bud. I promise you. You don't have to use the word deemphasized. Should there maybe be a hyphen there? It's deemphasized, right? It definitely seems like there should be a hyphen there. I'm just an idiot. Um, in the wake of Russia's February 2022 full scale invasion, which Biden has called a real life battle of democracy against autocracy. For months Biden's aide stuck to brief mentions of corruption. Yeah, because he is the very corruption that they're discussing here, right? There's like a guy on the front of this document with a mustache that looks very much like Hunter Biden with a blonde wig. Right? It's like, yeah, we know in walks, uh, you know, he has a Burisma, uh, logo on his shirt. It's like, yeah, no shit. There's corruption in Ukraine, but at least now we have some documentation to show that they're at least acknowledging that, which is far more than we can say about literally every other piece of gaslighting that has happened to us as the general public over the last, I don't know, four years. Anyways, let's read a little bit more of the article which says, uh, A State Department official speaking on behalf of the Department would not say if Washington had shared the longer version of the strategy with the Ukrainian government or whether a classified version exists. William Taylor, a former U. S. Ambassador to Ukraine, said many ordinary Ukrainians will likely welcome the strategy because they too are tired of endemic corruption in their country. It's all fine, as long as it doesn't get in the way of the assistance we provide them to win the war, he said. Yeah, only the entire reason for the assistance for the war is so that the corruption can siphon the money out of it. In walks Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, right, or Burisma, and all of the sudden are hundreds of billions of dollars Turns into 20 billion to actually fund the war and 85 billion to fund third party organizations Which bid quote unquote these contracts and then some type of politician funnels that money out, right? The reason that they're sending so much money into Ukraine I believe is because there's far less oversight into where that money is actually goes. There's very little accounting. There's very little oversight. Nobody's looking into that. Nobody has access to the books, at least not on the U. S. side of things, right? If we're sending that much money over there, we should have thorough accounting going on. We don't. Last time I checked, there was people saying that of every five weapons that were sent there, like four of them were unaccounted for going to. Ukrainian mobs and stuff like it's so crazy how much corruption is going on at any given time. And then let's jump into this one, which talks about the Pentagon funded a study. Imagine that the Pentagon funded the study warning that dementia among us officials. And it only took you three full years of having a president who couldn't finish a sentence or even knew the names of his own grandchildren to realize this, right? How crazy. So this comes from The Intercept, and it says that Senators Mitchell McConnell and Dianne Feinstein Who have access to top secret information recently had public health episodes. Yeah, one of those just darred So this article comes from September 12th from the intercept and it says as the national security workforce ages Dementia impacting US officials poses a threat to national security according to a First of its kind study by a Pentagon funded think tank. The report released the spring came as several prominent us officials trusted with some of the nation's most highly classified intelligence, experienced public lapses, stoking calls for resignations and debate about Washington's aging leadership. Right. It really is quite crazy. Like in, when Feinstein died Feinstein Feinstein, whatever, when she died, it was literally hours before that she, before she died. Hours before she died, she was rolled into the Senate and gave a vote on something as she rambled through her answer, only to be told to shut up by her handler next to her and the woman behind her so that she could just, just say, I, they said, which seems like a coerced vote to me. She was in the middle of explaining herself and giving her full answer at 90 years old. This woman 90. Giving her answer as to her vote and then before she can even finish it with her actual answer or her vote She's told by some 25 year old 30 year old guy next to her in a suit. No, no, no, just just say I don't don't stop talking Literally who elected that motherfucker, right? Who told him to tell her how to vote? Nobody, nobody besides the vested interests that are paying all of their salaries, right? And that's something that a lot of people don't realize. And I started to realize more recently is that when you have somebody who's a senator like that, underneath that individual, that face, that public facing individual, there's A hundred people that are operating under them as a business, right? You have, uh, people who are negotiating on behalf of them. You have people who are working with the lobbyists. You have people who are writing the bills and writing the responses and running the social medias and like under each individual in Congress or Senate that you see or the president, there's a hundred people getting a salary to make sure that person stays in their place. Right? Okay. So when you have somebody like Feinstein, you have a hundred people. Playing weekend at Bernie's trying to make sure that she doesn't die. And if she does, you can still wheel her into the Senate or to Congress, Senate and make a decision on a bill so they all get their bills paid at the end of the day. Right? And that's how it works. Like it's, it's not just one individual making these decisions. There's 50 people behind them who are influencing their decisions, who are writing their responses, right? How many, how many people do you see? Like maybe it's. Uh, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, uh, you know, how many people do you know that actually go in there? Maybe Cruz, Paul, uh, who else? Madison Cawthorn that actually went in there speaking their own words, right? If there's something if there's one thing that frustrates me more than anything at all about politics is how They've pulled back the curtain They don't even care that you know that they're not even speaking their own words anymore Which is literally their job. Their job is just to say things. That's their job Just, just, just to talk, but they can't even do that. They have teleprompters and talking points and bullet points in a, in a journal in front of them and, and prewritten social media posts. And like, dude, be a real person. There's no reason that we shouldn't be able to elect intelligent enough people with legitimate views that align with party lines or. the vested interests, even if you just want to allow the bullshit to happen, that they can't even at least be smart enough to speak by themselves without a written, a written speech in front of them without talking points without being told to shut up by the guy next to you and just say I, which is exactly 100 percent exactly what they did. Right? Literally 50 people playing weekend at Bernie's trying to get Feinstein to make a vote hours before she died of a Terminal illness, crazy, crazy, right? And that is legitimately politics, right? There's a great Frank Zappa quote, and you've probably heard me say it before. Let's see if we can find it. And what he says is that the illusion. Of freedom, Frank Zappa said the illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion at the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and the chairs out of the way, and you will see the brick wall at the back. of the theater, right? That's the teleprompters sitting on either side of them while they look through these see through pieces of glass telling them exactly what to say like a robot. That's the talking points in front of Kareem Jean Pierre. That's that's the the the social media posts being posted on Biden's social media instead of Kamala's, right? There's They pulled back the curtains. They don't even care anymore whether you know or not that these aren't these words, they're words, these aren't their opinions, these aren't, they aren't anything that's of value, that's a real person. There's nothing but invested interests behind every single one of these politicians besides maybe a handful, maybe a handful, right? And what you see is those people get voted out almost immediately, right? Pushed out by more money. Because they didn't realize what a threat these people were. People like Madison Cawthorn, right? You've seen how much pushback Marjorie Taylor Greene has gotten. Trump's been literally indicted multiples of times over again in the last three hours. I don't know. Right? It's so crazy to see how much they've pulled back those curtains and shown you that politics is not real. Right? And that's what's so frustrating at times about this thing. So it's like, it's almost like arguing with AI. It like, it doesn't have a personality. It doesn't have a soul. I can't sit here and debate a legitimate politician or somebody who holds legitimate beliefs. Because all that's behind that is the brick wall. And behind the brick wall is the, the contractor who created it so that he could make profits off of building it. That's it. That's politics in a nutshell to me. It's, it's so frustrating and so many people have seen through it now. Right? So many people are fed up with it, with the election cycles, with the fact that their vote doesn't actually count, that they feel there's, you know, less and less value to what they're doing every single day when it's involving themselves with the biggest decisions in our children's lives. Right? It's so frustrating to know that you're literally screaming at that brick wall. And we can make change and we can wake up enough people and you're seeing this what people are coining as the Great Awakening. Right? You're seeing how many people are realizing that it's just a brick wall. Right? The illusion became too expensive to maintain. And now they've taken down the scenery. They don't care. They just pump money into marketing, right? And having some marketing background myself, if you didn't know, um, what, what you realize is that in a small company, right? When there's, when there's 10 to 20 people, when there's 20 to 50 people, when there's a small enough. Customer segment that you're going after, it's a lot about creative, right? It's a lot about, you know, at least that's what marketing people like to think. Is that like, maybe if I make it look really nice, if I come up with the right slogan, if the, if the workflow or the user experience is super clean, then people will, you know, people will buy our products. If the product looks nice and it has value to it, right. And you put those things together. A marketing mind thinks that there's true value to the way that you present something and there is, but what you realize when you get into a larger corporation. Is that it's not as much about when you, when you have 2000 customers. That you want to maintain loyalty from that all matters, but when you have 2 million, or let's say 300 million, or maybe a billion customers, I don't know, politics, right? Um, 81 million votes more than any other, right? When you have that amount of people that you're pushing, it's what you're really your job is when you're doing marketing at that level is, is you're looking to leverage and weaponize data. Right? What you, what you're looking to do is how much money can I throw at this vaccine? And if for every 600 I spend on marketing, when it comes back to us, because it goes through the insurance companies who make the, the healthcare companies that are, that are fun or pushing people to get these things done, we make 800 in profits per person or whatever the margins were. You keep putting 600 into it, right? And, and, and that's where you have to see where's the profit really lie. Right. And that's where people started to question the overall narrative is like, was that even profitable with how much marketing, how much lobbying, how much incentives there were for politicians and healthcare individuals and the Fauci's of the world, and like, was it really profitable when we saw, yeah, they made like. trillions of dollars. Um, so for sure it was profitable for the pharmaceutical companies, but, but people started to question, was it profitable in the sense of, of monetary value for the pharmaceutical companies? The answer is obviously yes, but for the politicians, the profit was in the power. Right. The profit was in the ability to pass legislation to allow them to push us closer towards totalitarianism and what you see oftentimes to when it comes to large, extremely large corporations like Facebook wasn't profitable. LinkedIn wasn't profitable. Um, a lot of these companies hinge their profitability on it. continued funding more than they do on the profit from the actual, uh, sell of sale, sale of goods or, or services. Right? So, so when, when you can make something profitable through the next seed rounds that you have of, of your startup by continuing to get investors like Facebook data or LinkedIn data or, or right, but you don't have to worry about. What is, how am I actually going to, uh, monetize my service? Right? Because as long as I can continue convincing people that I can get money. And a lot of times it's just through users like Facebook and LinkedIn did or Uber or whatever, right? Like there's some, some companies that still are not profitable. Like Facebook wasn't profitable until like 2016. Right? So, so when you have the company large enough, you're there, they're, their entire existence is dependent on. Words on convincing large scale investors that they're worth it because we'll figure out the profitability later, right? And so when people are looking at the politicians and segmenting that out from the pharmaceutical companies, yeah, maybe it was profitable for the pharmaceutical companies, but for the politicians, the profitability either came from a extension of power towards authoritarianism, but also B, which is that They need to get continued funding, right? As long as you're appeasing the black rocks or the vanguards or the, the state streets or the Larry Fink's or the Klaus Schwab's or the Rockefeller's or the Soros's or the right, as long as you're continuing to appease the large money of the world, that the people who own the real funding organizations like these, and you're getting that continued funding. Then you're fine. You don't have to be profitable. You don't have to make decisions and maybe profitable when it comes to being a politician is more about popularity, or you don't have to be popular with the people. You don't have to be, you don't have to have a profitable service, right? Popularity in this, in this case, as long as the funding continues to grow, because with enough funding, you can get anybody in office as Biden and the guy who wears sweatpants every day. There's my rant. They pulled back the curtains guys. Alright, so there's your initial articles. The next thing we're going to discuss. October 4th, 2023. A day that many people believe could lead to catastrophe. Now I'm going to tell you why. FEMA put out a bulletin and I'm going to read it directly from their website for you so we can get some context on this. Which I just pulled up for you so you can follow along. Um, and if you're not watching on YouTube, you can actually pull this up for yourself. It says FEMA and FCC plan nationwide emergency alert test for October 4th, 2023. Alright, there you go. Um, you can look it up and read along while you're, uh, just listening. Alright, so it's on the FEMA website, FEMA. gov. And it says release date was August 3rd of 2023, release number HQ23124. And it says, uh, FEMA in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission, the FCC, We'll conduct a nationwide test of the emergency alert system and the wireless emergency alerts. This fall, the national test will consist of two portions testing WEA and EAS capabilities, right? Emergency alert system and wireless emergency alerts. Both tests are scheduled to begin in approximately 2. 20 Eastern time on Wednesday, October 4th. All right, now again, if you're here right now and you're listening and it's past the fourth and we all happen to not be zombies, as some people are saying, and nothing happened, I hear you. All right, I'm not saying anything crazy is going to happen, but I do think that this sparks an interesting conversation. But there are people saying that there is going to be some crazy shit that will happen. And we'll talk about that too. But the main point of this conversation is going to drive into 5G. All right. So it says the national test will consist of two portions, testing WEA and EAS capabilities. The WEA portion of the test will be directed to all consumer cell phones. All. All consumer cell phones. Do you know how many cell phones that is? This will be the third nationwide test, but the second test to all cellular devices. This the history of man. Right? And you're not going to tell me that there's any reason for concern. The test message will display in either English or in Spanish, depending on the language settings in your wireless handset. The EAS portion of the test will send out to radios and televisions. This will be the seventh nationwide EAS test, right? So one other time in history, have they done an emergency alert like this? It says emergency matters and other managers and other stakeholders in preparation for this national test to minimize confusion and to maximize the public safety value of the test. says they are coordinating with EAS participants, wireless providers, and emergency managers. And other stakeholders in preparation, right? The purpose of the October 4th test is to ensure that the systems continue to be effective means of warning the public about emergencies, particularly those on a national level. What does that even mean? The purpose of the test is to ensure that systems continue to be effective means of warning the public. You're telling me that you're testing to see that if you send a nationwide emergency alert. Like the Amber alerts, you're just seeing if it's effective. Like, what about putting that in front of literally everybody in existence with a cell phone makes you think it wouldn't be effective? Why do you need to test that? Weird. It says, in case the October 4th test is postponed due to widespread severe weather or other significant events, the backup testing date is October 11th. Now that's pretty weird to me. Why would they expect there be, to be severe, tell me the last time there was severe enough widespread weather events. That you couldn't send out a national advisory radio waves in the air. How does that make any sense? All right. It says the WEA portion of the test will be initiated using FEMA's integrated public alert and warning systems, a centralized internet based system administered by FEMA that enables authorities to send automated authenticated emergency messages to the public through multiple communications networks. The WEA test will be administered via a code sent to cell phones. This year, the EAS message will be disseminated as a Common Alerting Protocol, CAP, message via the Integrated Public Alert Warning Systems Platform for Emergency Networks. All wireless phones should receive the message only once. The following can be expected beginning at approximately 220 cell phone towers will broadcast the test for approximately 30 minutes during this time, W. E. A. Compatible wireless phones that are switched on within range of an active cell tower and whose wireless provider participates in W. E. A. Should be capable of receiving the test message. Okay, so there's your criteria for this October 4th situation is that at 220 for 30 minutes long. Thank wireless phones that are switched on within range of an active cell tower and whose provider participates in WEA. For consumers, the message that appears on their phones will read, this is a test of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed. Phones with the main menu set to Spanish will display. Let me give this a shot for you. Esta es una pre UBA del Sistema Nacional de Alerta de Emergencia. No se necesita acción. That was pretty good. At least it sounded good. WA alerts are created and sent by authorized federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial government agencies through the PAWS, or IPAWS, to participating wireless providers. Okay. Important information about the EAS test, right? This is the one that will be on your TV and the radio. It says the EAS portion of the test is scheduled to last approximately one minute and will be conducted with the participation of radio and television broadcasters, cable systems, satellite radio and television providers, and wire line video providers. The test message... Uh, will be similar to the regular monthly EAS test message, uh, which is the public is already familiar. This will state this is a national test of the emergency alert system issued by the Federal Emergency Management System, or agency, covering the United States from 1420 to 1450 ET. This is only a test. No action is required. Bye. All right. So there you have it. Essentially, if you're within a cell phone towers range and your cell phone is turned on, then you will get this alert. Now there is something that you can do about this. You can go into the settings of your iPhone and turn off. Emergency alerts. I've already done this for things like the Amber alerts. I've already done this. I've already done this, but you should probably should too, because here's the thing, giving the government immediate access to your brain, right? The, the imagine this, if you had a chip implanted in your brain and you could immediately have the government put something into your eyes and flash something that says a message, would you want the government to have access to that? And if you could take two minutes out of your day, one time to turn off their ability to do that. Now it's like, Oh, what if there's an Amber Alert? Well, the likelihood that there's an Amber Alert in my area that I have the ability to help, like, like there was this great TikTok that somebody posted. It was like what they expect somebody to do if there's an Amber Alert. And it's like a bunch of people just run out of their houses and just get into random people's cars and go start searching around for the Amber Alert. It's like, what the hell am I going to do? Like, sorry, I'm not I'm not Like, you know, what was that guy's name? Uh, Inspector Gadget. Like, I'm not going to be very much help here. Right? Now, of course I would love to help and do what I can to help in that situation. But, the access to my immediate information stream for the government at any given time It's just not worth the 0, 00000 percent likelihood that I'm going to be able to be the guy solves an Amber alert. Right? So just turn that shit off. Problem solved. You won't have to deal with it. Go into your settings on your iPhone, turn off emergency alerts. That's it. All right. Um, but to me, this drives another conversation, right? Well, let's look at some of the conspiracy stuff here. Let's see what people are saying on conspiracy Reddit about this. Um, it's not actually conspiracy Reddit. I had to find a go a little bit deeper into the Dark abyss of the internet to find this but it says unveiling the October 4th 2023 blackout conspiracy FEMA's mysterious Tess says the date October 4th has caught the attention. This comes from some random website that you've never heard of C O O P W B which stands for co operation of worldwide broadcast I guess maybe it sounded, they tried to make it sound legit, although thumbnail picture kind of gives it away. It says the date of October 4th, 2023 has caught the attention of many Nietzsens. Is it supposed to be citizens? Rumors swirl about potential blackout conspiracy tied to a FEMA test. Claims suggest that the emergency alert system test on this day hides a nefarious purpose. With such a significant event taking place and conspiracy theories gaining traction, it's imperative to separate fact from fiction. For more information about this topic, you can visit The Reddit. That's legit. All right, so we've already read through the FEMA advisory. Let's watch some of these videos. Uh, here's a video by somebody on TikTok named activate your pineal gland. Responding to comment, 30 minutes is very suspicious. Why? This is in regards to the emergency alert system that's going to be tested on Wednesday, October 4th for everyone. At the alert will be accompanied by unique tone. and vibration. Let's talk about tones and vibrations. This here is a Syma 1000. This is the machine I use. It is the basis of an app and a website that I have called Symatones, and it plays five resonant frequencies through this vibrating speaker. So this is tones and vibration, just like the alert we were just talking about, and it's targeting different ailments or body parts to retune them back to a balanced and a harmonious energy body. See, our energy body's got all these different pathways, and if there's blockages, And whether it's the water because we're made of water or in the energy pathway, then what that does is it causes a physical ailment. The physical ailments can be retuned by different tunes and tones. Back to October 4th, what tones and vibrations do you think the governments gonna be playing for us? Hmm. All right. So I'll address that first. What she's saying is that there's actually vibrational medicine, um, and you look at things like ancient Chinese medicine, things like acupuncture, acupuncture, um, things like, uh, there's a lot of like traditional medicine that leverages vibrational frequencies and, uh, unblocking, you know, what she's speaking to, um, which has actually been scientifically proven more recently when they were looking into things like acupuncture, uh, talking about the, um, flow of the energy flows within our bodies, which I tend to be a decent believer of, you know, having, um, been a part of, you know, actually gone deeper into things like, you know, yoga and Kundalini yoga and, um, transcendental meditations and things like that, that I've dove into and discussed previously on this podcast. You can go find, uh, what was it? Uh, I did a good, a good podcast on that. If you're interested on it, go back and check it out. Um, just look for transcendental meditation. Um, But, um, I, I, science, science, you know, whatever that fucking means, um, the, the, the truth bears, uh, but they, they, for long denying traditional medicine, they've, there's been a lot of studies that have come out that have shown legitimacy, uh, to exactly what she's saying, right? You know, you want to get deeper into it. You want to go towards the Napoleon Hill things, um, is that everything's a frequency, right? Every, the only, every object is vibrating, um, and, and sound is a frequency and movement is, uh, it has a certain frequency and the, you know, everything is vibrating at a certain tone and, and by manipulating vibration, um, our words, our frequencies, right. Um, and, and all it is, is a, you know, vibration of your vocal cords. And with that, you can, you know, Take over countries essentially, right? And what she's saying is that it's also can be used for good reasons medicinally and potentially negative reasons medicinally. Uh, so let's, let's continue to see what she says about that. And why 30 minutes? The water in your body resonates to different sounds, tones, and vibrations it is surrounded with. And not only does it vibrate to that while it's hearing it, but it remembers it within five to seven minutes. Dr. Gerald Pollack on YouTube is a great resource for water. So while my device plays tones and vibrations that promote wellness, what's playing on October 4th? Good. Question. I did not see that part of that article. Um. Ahem. Very interesting. Uh, it says the airwaves and online platforms are buzzing. A myriad of speculations, skepticisms, and stories have emerged. Painting a murky picture. Understanding the context and the facts is crucial to discern the reality of the October 4th blackout conspiracy. Uh, yeah. And you're doing this literally against people's will. So, right, so where I have a problem with this is that you, you're Taking something that's never been done before, right? You're aligning the frequency of the nation, essentially, right? When you activate a singular event for all people at one time, right? I want you to go into a church. Right, religious or not, I want you to go into a church. I want you to go into a synagogue. I want you to go into a, I don't know, literally any religious institution and see what they do 60 percent of the time that they're in there. I'll give you a hint. Vibrations. It's a singing. It's a frequency. It's a it's a it's it's the alignment of multiple individuals in a singular area with the alignment of their consciousness through vibrational frequencies, right? If So when you go into a church, you just, you feel it right when everybody's singing and everybody's aligned and everybody's speaking to the same higher power, whatever that is, you can feel that energy. And it's not just the music, right? And music alone is extremely powerful. And obviously, you know, Hollywood and the elites of the world have have weaponized that. But you realize the positive effects of that. So when you are aligning the consciousness of an entire nation at a singular time, let's just talk about that until we get to 5G and radiation and that type of thing. But let's just say that the tone, the frequency, That all matters, right? It's not like the, and even if they were just testing this, even if that was the case, let's, let's, let's not attribute malice initially. Let's, let's not get into the tinfoil hat wearing conspiracies. Let's just say, even if you were going to, as far as to say, they're just testing, they're just testing a, Uh, just, just making sure that it works, right? Well, when we go back to silent weapons for quiet wars, probably the most impactful podcast that I've ever done, maybe next to the Chinese, um, the interview that I did with, uh, uh, Mr. Gerber. Where he talked about the organ harvesting of the Uyghur Muslims and the, uh, Falun Gong movement. Um, again, super impactful, but, but I would say that when you look at silent weapons for quiet wars, and we discussed shock testing, right? This is... Potentially the single largest data set that could be leveraged. Every single person with a cell phone. So essentially every household in America at a singular time is given the opportunity for these people to shock test something, right? Whether that be the frequency, what does this frequency have as an effect on the general public? Right? And you go look at the CIA documents, you know, going back to like MKUltra times, you know that they tested these things. They tested these things for, for. legitimately brainwashing people behind what what the Soviets were doing, mimicking what the Soviets were doing with the Nazi doctors that we we've took in from Operation Paperclip. And this is this shit's real guys. Like that's the craziest part about all this is like, you string all these things together. And it's like, Oh, you're a crazy conspiracy. It's like, No, bitch, go to the CIA website. Research operation, paperclip research, uh, MK ultra research, what, what their CIA has been doing and what, what people have been doing in, in our organizations, in our, in our public sphere, in our politics for a very long time. So no, all of this is real. And so if you can shock test the entire public at a singular time, essentially what shock testing is, is, is, is taking a, um, figuring out with a large enough data set. What does it take to cause, if you give this input, what is the output? Right? If I, I don't know. Uh, If like Burger King, right? Everybody drives past a Burger King or maybe you used to. I don't know if they still do it, but they're there. They literally have like a chimney on top of it and they have the smoke flowing that smells like Burger King. It's like they tested long enough to see that. Oh, maybe people will come in more often if we put the smell out. literally into the air surrounding our area. Um, that's a shock test, right? They had to test that theory and see if it worked and see if the percentages went up of people who bought in the areas that they did it. Right? So, so if you can shock test the general public, if we have this input, right, and maybe they're going to do different, if they were smart, they would use different data sets, right? Or different lists for this, right? They, they would go into it and they'd say, all right, for a fourth of the country, we're going to use. This frequency for a fourth of the country. We're going to use this frequency, a fourth of the country. We're going to use this frequency. And these different frequencies have different effects on the human psyche. And, and maybe we can weaponize this to either make people more docile, make them more agreeable, make them more likely to have X, Y, and Z. And then they shock test it, they run that experiment and then they take the results and then they analyze them with extremely large and accurate data sets, right? So again, we don't have to get into zombie apocalypses for them to be shock testing large data sets with potential weaponized or. Whatever word you want to use for the frequency testings that they're using, right? This is this is real. This is legitimate. Go go do some research, right? But I I do see some potential issues with this just at a surface level Then you want to get into actual 5g And that's a discussion that we'll get into here in just a moment because we're still on like the first article of this. Um, now this comes from another, uh, account, which says that on October 4th, the FEMA and FCC will conduct a nationwide test. Wouldn't this be the perfect opportunity for hackers to tell the truth of what's going on? The greatest hack ever. Hmm. Saying that they, if they can hack the, uh, What's being sent out and and say something different potentially another person said the spread of the conspiracy This is Richard Elliott says turn your phone off October 4th 2023 a to 220 for at least 30 minutes God only knows what kind of malware this corrupt government will be downloading to your phones if you leave them on during this test That's an interesting theory. And again, you look at things like Pegasus, right? Pegasus being the world's foremost spying software that can be easily downloaded to your phone. It used to be that they would send you a text message, they'd send you an email, and this is, again, readily available information. The Mossad is using it, the CIA, um, um, MI6, all of them use this software to spy on terrorists and domestic terrorists and people who, I don't know, go through, uh, the Capitol building, uh, on a museum tour guided by the police on a certain date in January, um, and people like you and me because of the Patriot Act and they can do whatever the fuck they want, right? So, um, Uh, it says FEMA's announcement. Um, but, sorry, let me finish that about Pegasus. Pegasus essentially allows them to look at your, every single thing on your phone, controlled at all times, turn on your, your camera when, and have it not notify you. Um, so they can watch you, they can listen in through your microphone, which they're probably doing to me right now. Uh, Um, but it, it can essentially just, it allows them to, to weaponize your phone for, for spying purposes. And then they've already had it shown, um, through Edward Snowden that that's what they were doing, right? They were absolutely weaponizing that against citizens with no really due process or warrants or any reason at all. And they actually found that People within the organizations were doing this to people in their own lives, right? Crushes or girlfriends or excuse me, exes, pretty crazy stuff. Um, so there's another theory. Uh, it says conspiracy theories and concerns. It says enter off grid secrets, a YouTuber amplifying the conspiracies volume. He questions the Potential health risks of simultaneous phone activations. Without scientific evidence, he surmises potential harm to humans, insects, birds, and bees due to radiation. His intrigue doesn't stop there. Using a Germantria calculator, Off Grid Secrets dives deep into the date's significance, finding links to, uh, findings link the date to various cryptic terms, further fueling speculations. As of October 4th, 2023, date, nearest conspiracy theories will undoubtedly persist. Yet a critical mindset and reliance on facts remain essential. Only time will unveil the truth behind the October 4th, 2023 blackout conspiracy. Um, interesting, right? So there's some of the conspiracies that have come out. I actually do have, I believe that guy's, uh, video embedded somewhere here. Um, but I do wanna take you back and let's, maybe I can take you to one of his videos. Maybe we're. Too deep into this to get there. Um, yeah, we might be a little too deep. I have too many 5G articles up. Uh, so in walks 5G. All right. Um, And so, so let's go into this. Do you recall, this was back in February 7th of 2022, so, um, I was operating my podcast at this time. You can very likely go back. I believe I actually did a whole podcast, one of the topics being about this specific national terrorism advisory bulletin from the Department of Homeland Security, uh, titled, so again, February 7th of 2022. And it said summary of terrorism threats to Homeland Security. And you go down to the additional details on that webpage directly on dhs. gov and it says key factors contributing to the current heightened threat environment include. All right now, if you just press control F and we go five G one of the things on the department of Homeland security's website. Terrorist advisory says domestic extremism or domestic extremists have also viewed attacks against us critical infrastructure as a means to create chaos and advance ideological goals and have recently aspired to disrupt us electrical and communications critical infrastructure, including by spreading false or misleading narratives about five g cellular and as technology. So if you spread false false meaning against the mainstream narrative of what the corporations who funded these individuals and put them in power want you to think, right, because we all know that the fact checkers mean nothing other than their narrative enforcers for corporations. If you even speak out against that, I am right now. Talking about how potentially this technology, which is, we have no clue as to what its effects are, and you say anything that's against what they want you to say or think about their technology, then you can be deemed a domestic, violent extremist, specifically for just having an opinion about the potential side effects of a technology that nobody knows the side effects of. Nobody. Nobody. I'm not claiming to know the side effects of this. Now, I'll present to you some evidence from some people who do, but I don't know. What I will tell you is, everywhere you look right now, there's a frickin 5G tower. I will tell you what I know, which is that when people go up to those towers and work on them, they wear large, white radiation suits. Like, E. T. style radiation suits to work on the 5G towers. I wonder why. What I will tell you is that there was articles coming out about how large swarms of bees, birds, and a bunch of other animals and insects were dying in the immediate vicinity of 5G cell towers. Allegedly, according to those articles. All right. What I will tell you is that Robert F. Kennedy jr, which we'll find out here in just a second is representing a group of individuals who say that they were negatively affected by 5g. And what I will tell you is that the same people who wanted you to believe that you should get the vaccine also, you know, not a vaccine. Understudied mRNA gene therapy, uh, also wants you to shut the hell up and not say anything about their ugly ass towers that are everywhere, right? And they're literally trying to hide these towers by making them look like trees. Really shitty, ugly trees, by the way. These towers are the most horrific looking eyesore of anything in the world today. They look terrible. You've seen them, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Um, and it's infuriating. I don't know about you, but my phone worked just fine before 5G came out. I don't know about you, but I still sit and shit loads forever, and no matter how many 5G towers they put around my house, or as I'm driving on the highway, my cell service still hasn't improved 1%. 1 percent in the last 5 to 10 years. Yet everywhere you look right now, they're putting up 5G towers. Why? That's the better question. What is the purpose of this? What am I gaining out of this? Or what are they gaining out of this? And of those one of one things that have happened like this, those, those mass communications that have happened, there's only one that's happened before now. How many occurred when 5G was in effect? That's another question. Alright, so, Department of Homeland Security, February 7th, 2022, released a bulletin saying that if you speak out against 5G, according to the Department of Homeland Security, you could potentially be a violent, extremist, domestic terrorist. On that note, let's talk about 5G. Uh, alright. Oh, I do also want to know that if you go back and you had to go back, and by back I mean to Wayback Machine and go to the CDC website because they scrubbed, the CDC scrubbed their website of this article that had preparedness 101, zombie apocalypse, and this was back in 2011. I don't know if you remember that, but the CDC actually gave out guidelines surrounding a zombie apocalypse. Now, it seems to be in the light of some satire. Right? And because they opened it up with, there's all kinds of emergencies out there that you can prepare for. Take a zombie apocalypse, for example. You may laugh now, but when it happens, you'll be happy you read this. And hey, maybe you'll even learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency. They talk about, and give legitimate guidelines for how to survive a zombie apocalypse. So again, I think the people saying that are silly. When it comes to this because there's like an in the you know, you go to the deep deep websites You go to like the the QAnon 4chan conspiracy websites, you know the things like You know one that I've seen before is what's it called? Before it's news. com. That's an interesting one if you want to go deep but You go there and you there's all these conversations about zombies apocalypse 5g You know all of that so Have fun kids, but if you want to go check this out, you have to go to Wayback Machine You have to find the article And maybe I can, I can link that for you in the, uh, in the sub stack. So, um, or, you know, I'll, I'll put it in my Instagram. So let me, let me give my plug here is, is that the CDC actually had a document released of how to prepare for a zombie apocalypse. They did that. All right. Um, so I'll include that. If you go to my Instagram, you can comment on there. Maybe I'll, if I can make that a clip, um, I'll have something on there where I can send it to you automatically through some automation. So, um, all right. So that's one thing. That's interesting. Here's another one, right? You want to let's let's get into the actual 5g conversation because I think this is important. This is something that I've been wanting to do for quite some time now. And this may go over a little bit and it's already, you know, almost 12 o'clock here. But hey, what do I got to lose besides Being considered a terrorist according to the Department of Homeland Security for talking about technology concerns drink to that So here goes a video of Robert F. Kennedy jr And he is discussing with a voter about how he's you know, she says he's a conspiracy theorist and all this stuff So let's go ahead and watch This video. You are definitely not in my book or any of my democratic family or friend book, a Democrat. Um, your conspiracy theories, they, they literally scare us. Um, we just came out of four years of, you know, full of Trump lies and his conspiracy theories in this country. You claim that you want to heal us as a nation and our divide. And this is not, I mean, the wifi causes cancer and 5g is. Is mass surveillance and, and chemicals in our water cause transgender and, and, and antidepressants cause school shootings. I, I'm so confused and so I'm looking for clarity from you today, Mr. Kennedy. Okay, uh, Sharon, thank you for the call. You laid out a lot of things. We'll let Mr. Kennedy respond. Yeah, Sharon, thanks for those questions. You say that I have conspiracy theories and, you know, you're labeling me anti vax, which I'm not. Or a conspiracy theorist, which I am not. Um, is one of the ways that the Democratic Party and their allied press have silenced me. I mean, you, um, you mention, for example, 5G and, and dismiss the fact that 5G causes cancer. But I'm representing now hundreds of, of, of, of men and women in this country who have gotten, uh, a glioblastoma. Uh, classic cell phone tumors, uh, from 5G, and there's, there are reams of scientific studies that show that that is happening. Um, you, you say that 5G is not used for surveillance. Is there really any American left? Who believes that the government is not, uh, spying on the American people. Wire Magazine. 5G smartphones cause cancer. Big Wireless doesn't want you to know. That's two thousand and sixteen. Back before they totally controlled all the media. The FDA black box warning on antidepressant suicide risk in young adults. Oh, that's from the NIH, National Institutes of Health, saying it's on the insert that it causes suicide and mass murder. But you heard her say, how dare you say that to R. L. K. Jr. Suicidality in children and adolescents being treated with antidepressant medications. FBA. gov. It's a fact. Like the U. N. said, oh, aspartame gives you cancer and heart attacks, but it's okay. And a present black box warning ten years later. So, I'm done talking about that. We just spent 45 minutes or more responding to that caller. Probably a real person, probably not just a seminar caller told to say it. And they just think we're scaring people. We're bad. So I just responded to him All right, so there's your daily dose of Alex Jones But nothing you said was wrong, right? Very very interesting articles that he just brought up and I have some of my own and some of my own videos here that we'll walk through together now one of the foremost experts on this is you know an experts I mean You know, a consistent person who was found doing seminars on the dangers of 5G is Dr. Barry Trower. Dr. Barry Trower being somebody who is a part of MI6 Intelligence, allegedly speaking out about 5G. And here's a portion of his seminar that he did in 2000 and... 21, um, called the Truth of five G and wifi, and you can find it on YouTube, uh, Dr. Barry Trower, T r o w E R, the truth about five G and wifi part one on YouTube. There's only 700 views here, but uh, I believe the original clip was taken down. So, um, here we go. This, I think, is the most shameful document ever to be published. It is by the World Health Organization. We pay them to protect us, and we trust them to protect us. In 1973, the World Health Organization had a conference in Warsaw. Biological effects and health hazards of microwave radiation, below thermal, Radiation, which is what you have on your cell phones. 350 pages, documenting harm to the ordinary person. 107 different chapters, chapter 40 deals with cancer, uh, I think 28 reproductive faults, but instead of telling the world, I don't know who made them make the decision, instead of telling the world it was stamped top secret, with a big red top secret stamp, it still is, and you still will not be told about this, they will not admit to it. The second most shameful document, I think, is this one. This was published between 1972 and 1976. The final part was 1976. It is from the U. S. Defense Intelligence Agency. And the document says, If the more advanced nations of the West, which is us, are strict, In the enforcement of exposure standards, there could be unfavorable effects on industrial output, industrial output is profit, and military function. In other words, what they wanted us to do was set a level of radiation for the NATO countries, set a level of radiation that would not be strict. Hence, we came in with the six minute thermal level that is still in place today and what councils are advised to adhere to. At that time, the World Health Organization, again, what they didn't tell you, on their website, or on their, what they had on these days, 80 percent of the published papers linked cancer to low level microwaves. And the others, you had neurological damage, birth defects. Uh, there, there was no secret among the decision makers then. And every so often, when a, generally when a new G comes out, a new, uh, one of the new makes of the cell phone, the International Commission for Non Ionizing Radiation Protection, they put out an addendum to their original report, which clears the way for whichever generation it is coming out. There's a new one coming out in a couple of days to clear the way for 5G. This is the original, or a copy of the original, uh, International Commission document. And it is of interest to decision makers, all decision makers, excuse me, because I think I'm not legally trained and I cannot understand people when they talk to me who are legally trained. But I will give you my interpretation of this. And this is for council decision makers and all other decision makers. They actually say in this that... Their recommendations are guidelines. They are not law. You do not have to adhere to them. They are guidelines. They say they only consider involving the heating of tissue. They go on to say, for example, Children, The elderly and some chronically ill people may have a lower tolerance for one or more forms of these microwaves than the rest of the population. They will be deemed sensitive. And then they say, on page 547 of this one, In practice, the critical steps in applying these general procedures may differ across the spectrum. Several steps in these procedures require scientific judgment, for example, on reviewing the scientific literature and determining an appropriate reduction factor. In other words, in my simple brain, if you are told that something is dangerous, as a decision maker, you have the authority to say, this says this level will cause this. I am instructed to reduce the level to a point that is deemed safe. You do not have somebody walk into your school or somewhere and say, Sign here, gov, these are radio waves. We've had

Canada's pro-Nazi rally in Parliament was maybe the last straw. But it's not going to be easy with US now occupying part of the Polish military infrastructure. All this and more.

EU foreign ministers meet in Kyiv for the first time amid growing calls from a few politicians to stop helping Ukraine. Estonia's Foreign Minister, Margus Tsahna, tells us the bloc remains united behind Kyiv. Also in the programme: human rights groups tell the UN Egypt's systematic practice of torture amounts to a Crime Against Humanity; and is it possible to be an elite athlete while refusing to travel for environmental reasons?

There's been an astonishingly brazen propaganda push to normalize war profiteering in Ukraine as Kyiv coordinates with the arms industry and western governments to convert the war-ravaged nation into a major domestic weapons manufacturer, thereby turning Ukrainians into proxies of the military industrial complex as well as the Pentagon.

I was created 6 years ago and born on Monday. I was made when my mum got sick and I was frozen. I travelled to London for some tests then I came back home to Dublin for a few years. In 2021 I went to Ukraine but sadly a war broke out and I was rescued by an amazing man, put into his car, and driven to Slovakia. I spent some time in Bratislava and then I went back to Kiev. I went back to Bratislava for a while before taking a train to Berlin. From there I got another train to Paris and then I flew to Turkey, finally I landed in Tbilisi, Georgia where I was carried by an amazing lady for 9 months until I was born on Monday morning. My name is Native American and it means “Leaping Water”. | have leaped many seas, rivers and lakes to be here and I am 2 days old. My mum, dad and big sister Pia love me so much.

Nineteen months since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and the books are coming thick and fast. Fortunately, each tells a different and compelling story. Like other recent books, Gwendolyn Sasse's Russia's War Against Ukraine (Polity, 2023) analyses three decades of diverging Russian and Ukrainian politics and society, burgeoning Russian neo-imperialism, and Western temerity. Unique to this book, however, is the restoration of Crimea to centre-stage in the conflict. The war didn't start in February 2022 when Russian and Ukrainian troops battled on the northern outskirts of Kyiv. It didn't even start in April 2014 when Ukrainian forces tried to retake Sloviansk. "Russia's war against Ukraine began with the annexation of Crimea on 27 February 2014,” writes Professor Sasse, and the signal it sent to secessionists in the Donbas. It may only be 69 years since the Soviet government assigned Crimea to Ukraine but, as she explains, Russia's claim to the peninsular is no stronger. Crimea threads through the book on post-Soviet Ukrainian and Russian histories, the war, and its potential aftermath. Gwendolyn Sasse directs the Centre for East European and International Studies in Berlin and is a professor at Humboldt university. Before that, she was a professor of comparative politics at Oxford and taught at the Central European University and the London School of Economics. Her 2007 book - The Crimea Question - won the Alec Nove Prize for scholarly work in Russian, Soviet and post-Soviet studies. *The author's own book recommendations are The Frontline: Essays on Ukraine's Past and Present by Serhii Plokhy (Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute, 2021) and 100 Kinder: Kindersachbuch über den Alltag von Kindern auf der ganzen Welt by Christoph Drösser and Nora Coenenberg (Gabriel Verlag, 2019) Tim Gwynn Jones is an economic and political-risk analyst at Medley Advisors, who also writes the twenty4two newsletter on Substack and also hosts the In The Room podcast series.

Is Ukraine about to lose one of its staunchest allies in Europe? Slovakia leapt to Kyiv's aid after the Russian invasion of February 2022 by supplying weapons and fighter jets and welcoming refugees. But that could all change in Saturday's snap parliamentary elections. Leading in the polls is pro-Russian former prime minister Robert Fico's SMER party. His vow to stop arming Ukraine resonates among large sections of a population that's targeted by Russian propagandists. FRANCE 24's Magdalena Chodovnik reports.

*) Pakistan likens Palestine to Kashmir, says won't normalise ties with Israel Pakistan will not follow other nations who are normalising relations with Israel, the South Asian country's interim foreign minister has said. "We do not follow others, we look at our national interests," said Jalil Abbas Jilani. Explaining his country's position on the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands, Jilani said Islamabad's stance on the Israel or Palestine issue is "very clear" and "it will remain in the future as well." *) Kiev will secure EU from Russian nuclear blackmail — Zelenskyy Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that his country will do everything to liberate the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and to secure Europe from Russian radiation blackmail. "We will do everything to implement the first point of our Peace Formula – nuclear and radiation security," Zelenskyy said in his nightly address. He also added that they are preparing to yield more results for their international efforts to strengthen the country. *) Blinken meets Jaishankar amid Canada-India row over Sikh leader's murder US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has met with India's foreign minister amid a simmering row between New Delhi and Ottawa over allegations of Indian government involvement in the killing of a Sikh activist in Canada. Neither man spoke about the controversy that has disrupted Canada-India relations in very brief comments to reporters. "We have consistently engaged with the Indian government on this question and have urged them to cooperate," State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said. But a US statement after Blinken met his Indian counterpart made no mention of Hardeep Singh Nijjar's murder or of Canada as a whole. *) Number of US-bound refugees crossing dangerous Darien Gap tops 400,000 The number of US-bound refugees and migrants who have crossed through the notorious jungle stretch between Panama and Colombia has soared this year to more than 400,000. Panama's Public Security Ministry said on Thursday it has tallied 402,030 people passing through as of Wednesday. That figure is 62 percent more than the number of migrants who crossed the Darien Gap in all of 2022. Panama said as many as 4,000 people are crossing from Colombia each day. *) Meta puts artificial intelligence in smart glasses Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg has said the tech giant is putting artificial intelligence into digital assistants and smart glasses as it seeks to gain lost ground in the AI race. “Smart glasses are going to eventually allow us to bring all of this together into a stylish form factor that we can wear," Zuckerberg said. Smart glasses are one of the many ways that tech companies have tried to move beyond the smartphone as a user-friendly device, but so far with little success. The second-generation Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses made in a partnership with EssilorLuxottica will have a starting price of $299 when they hit the market on October 17.
