The latest 'indictment' against Donald Trump for what amounts to Crimes Against The Regime has produced a 'mugshot' that symbolizes the biggest political 'own goal' yet for the Democratic Party. Seriously, what the heck are they even thinking?! Trump's even popular in the hood now! Meanwhile, in Russia, Yevgeny Prigozhin is no more: he appears to have been shot/blown out of the sky outside Moscow, ending a half-year of bizarre and politically dangerous antics from the ex-owner of Wagner PMC....

Statements by the self-proclaimed president of Belarus, Oleksandr Lukashenko, about the "walk" of Wagner PMC fighters to Poland with a hint of a possible Russian invasion of Polish territory are just an informational and psychological special operation. Andriy Yusov, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, said this, he rejects the possibility of the "Wagnerians" attacking Poland. - Заяви самопроголошеного президента Білорусі Олександра Лукашенка про «прогулянку» бойовиків ПВК «Вагнер» до Польщі з натяком про можливе російське вторгнення на польську територію – це лише інформаційно-психологічна спецоперація. Про це сказав представник Головного управління розвідки Міністерства оборони України Андрій Юсов, він відкидає відкидає можливість наступу «вагнерівців» на Польщу.
This episode was recorded after Joel spent eight hours on a train heading up to Coffs for Mega Freedom. He clearly spent most of it drinking. Jack manages to stop the entire podcast being about comparing Dimitry Utkin's penis to Hunter Biden's and the jury is out on whether that's a good thing. The recent insurrection in Russia by the Wagner PMC and their founder Yevgeny Prigozhin has prompted a lot of curiosity about the group. We have a look at their purpose and past as pillagers of poor nations and perpetrators of war crimes. And don't forget to give early and give often to Rob's mate Joe in Vanuatu.

Chaos in Russia! Wagner's pagan neo-Nazis. Is conspirituality unique to a failing American empire in the internet age? Does it require Californian New Age spirituality, with conspiracy theories that weave around alternative medicine, for-profit pharma with no social safety net, and the reactionary politics of White Christian Nationalism? This week, Julian explores a different version of Conspirituality. This form translates QAnon for a European audience and calls for a return to the golden age of the Russian empire, but also to an ancient pre-Christian Slavic identity united across borders in pagan faith.

In this week's Resonance energy market podcast episode, Jeremy Nicholson talks to Alfa's Dan Veasey discuss the market implications of Europe reaching full storage capacity by the end of summer, as well as the potential impact of unexpectedly mild weather.Topics explored include: Short term spike on mutiny news, but no fundamental changes to gas flows from Russia.Intra-day volatility has returned somewhat, driven by supply constraints. E.g. Extension of maintenance at a gas processing facility in Norway; expected to be resolved in July. We're not back to end of June price lows, but far from way off highs at time extension was announced.Gas storage good in Europe – stores 76% fullInflation and high interest rates may have a marginal impact on forward pricing due to less demand for commoditiesCoal generation still on track to be phased out, despite requirement for baseload powerConcerns about renewable energy supply chain, as with rest of energy sector, new wind perhaps more expressive than expected and CODs not attractive enough to drive new generation development. Skills gap may also need to be filled.The Dutch government has confirmed that the Groningen gas field will close in October, mainly due to earthquake issues in the area.It is expected that US LNG cargoes will increase over the next few months, which will help boost storage.With storage close to capacity, if we don't see an increase in demand going into September and the weather is milder than expected, the markets will adjust to encourage demand or reduce production. However, further unplanned outages, extreme hot weather, and nuclear outages in France could of course affect this situation.This episode of the Resonance was recorded on 27th June 2023.

Libby is joined by Bill VanGorder, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Policy Officer of CARP, Anthony Quinn, Chief Community Officer of CARP, and Peter Muggeridge, Senior Editor of Zoomer Magazine. It's official: today is election day in Toronto and shortly after 8 pm we will find out who will be Toronto's next Mayor. The latest polls by Forum Research and Mainstreet Research from this past Sunday show Olivia Chow still in the lead but only by single digits. Ana Bailao is right behind her in second place.

And, we preview our special election coverage which will be taking place in real time tonight as the results come in. ---- PROVINCE USING MZOs TO SPEED UP NURSING HOME REDEVELOPMENTS Libby is joined by France Gelinas, NDP MPP for Nickel Belt and the health critic as well as Cathy Parkes. Her father passed away at Orchard Villa in April of 2020 from COVID-19.

This past weekend, Russian President Vladimir Putin dealt with the threat of a rebellion from the Wagner PMC which is headed by Yevgeny Prigozhin.

Ein Kommentar von Rainer Rupp.Der ungarische Ministerpräsident Viktor Orban hat dieser Tage die Wahrheit erneut laut ausgesprochen, wovor die US/NATO-Eliten weiterhin verkrampft die Augen schließen und wovon sie auch nichts hören wollen, dass nämlich „die Ukraine auf dem Schlachtfeld unmöglich gewinnen kann“. Wenn der Westen den Menschen in der Ukraine helfen will, dann ginge das nicht mit mehr Waffen, sondern mit einem Waffenstillstand, der zu Friedensverhandlungen führen muss, so Orban am Dienstag dieser Woche (23. Mai 2023) bei einer internationalen Konferenz in Doha, der Hauptstadt des Golfstaates Katar.Wo Orban Recht hat, hat er Recht! Aber aktuell steht er mit dieser Position in der EU ziemlich allein. Nur wenn die Strippenzieher im kollektiven Westen diese Realität anerkennen, zur Vernunft kommen und ihren unabdingbaren Widerstand gegen einen Frieden mit Russland fallen lassen, können wir alle wieder Hoffnung schöpfen. Schaut man sich jedoch die Ergebnisse des jüngsten G7-Gipfels in Japan und das neue, elfte (!) EU-Sanktionspaket gegen Russland an, dann scheinen die Herrschaften, die uns regieren, weiterhin fest entschlossen, die eigene Bevölkerung vor den unliebsamen militärischen Realitäten in der Ukraine zu schützen, um sich nicht selbst politisch zugrunde zu richten, wenn die Wahrheit bekannt würde.Für die US/NATO-Eliten ist die Lage nach der russischen Eroberung der ukrainischen Festung Bachmut prekär. Die ukrainischen Verluste in den monatelangen Kämpfen waren extrem hoch, vor allem weil der ukrainische Präsident Selenskij persönlich Bachmut einen sehr hohen strategischen Stellenwert beigemessen hatte. Die Stadt sollte unter allen Umständen gehalten werden, koste es, was es wolle, an Material und Menschenleben. Letztlich aber wurde das Stadtgebiet von der russischen Söldnertruppe Wagner PMC erobert, wobei die Wagnerianer allerdings Unterstützung durch Artillerie- und Luftwaffeneinsätze der regulären russischen Armee bekamen.Nach jüngsten Angaben des Wagner PMC Chefs Prigoschin „gab es in Bachmut auf beiden Seiten hohe Verluste". Er sagte (1):„Wir haben in Bachmut gegen überlegene Streitkräfte gekämpft, etwa 50.000 ukrainische Streitkräfte zerstört und bis zu 70.000 verwundet“."Wagner PMC hatte 3,2 mal weniger (also 15.600) Tote als die Streitkräfte der Ukraine und etwa 2 mal weniger Verwundete, (also 35.000).“„Auf unserer Seite hatten wir in Bachmut (zu keinem Zeitpunkt mehr als) 50.000 Leute und die Streitkräfte der Ukraine hatten 82.000 auf der Gegenseite.“„Das Ziel von Bachmut war nicht so sehr die Eroberung der Stadt selbst, sondern in der Schaffung des Fleischwolfs von Bachmut. Und in Bachmut haben wir alle zerstört, die wir zerstören sollten. Wir haben die Aufgabe erledigt.“Es war vor allem die russische Artillerie, die der Ukraine trotz umfangreicher Westlieferungen an Qualität und Quantität haushoch überlegen ist, die Bachmut den berüchtigten Namen eines Fleischwolfs gegeben hat. Denn auf Selenskijs Befehl, die Stadt um jeden Preis zu halten, wurden immer wieder neue ukrainische Brigaden in die Stadt und somit in das Feuer der russischen Artillerie geschickt, die sich im Laufe der Monate auf die Koordinaten von jedem Straßenzug und jedem Winkel eingeschossen hatte. Ganze ukrainische Brigaden wurden so aufgerieben und immer wieder durch neue Einheiten ersetzt, die zuvor mit zwangsrekrutierten jungen Männern aufgefüllt worden waren......weiterlesen hier: https://apolut.net/us-nato-will-krieg-in-der-ukraine-eskalieren-von-rainer-rupp+++Bildquelle: photocosmos1 / shutterstock Hosted on Acast.
