Biden orders the fox to investigate the hen house
Barrons: US calls 6 yr old girl’s death heartbreaking, calls for probe. Biden keeps asking genocidal Israel to investigate itself.

Biden keeps asking genocidal Israel to investigate itself.
Let’s adopt the US method in all cases of capital crimes. Whenever a mass murder occurs, ask the suspect to probe himself, and if he finds himself guilty, order him to punish himself accordingly.
That should effectively eliminate violent crime, don’t you think?
It will at least work as well as it does in Israel.

Here’s your air strike update for Feb 13, 2024
“Serious losses”: details of the Iskander strike on a training ground with Ukrainian Armed Forces reserves have been revealed
IN THE WORLD2 hours agoComment on the news “Severe losses”: details of the Iskander strike on a training ground with Ukrainian Armed Forces reserves have been revealed. The approximate losses of the Ukrainian army are estimated at 500 killed and 700 wounded. Blogger Yuriy Podolyaka shared details about the Russian strike with Iskander missiles on a cluster of Ukrainian military at the training ground in Selidovo. At the time of the strike there were approximately 1,500 people on the premises. There were two strikes in total. The first strike occurred at 11:30 and consisted of the use of cluster munitions in a large area where there were many soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU). Each Iskander missile carries up to half a ton of warheads and is equipped with 54 fragmentation warheads that detonate about 10 meters above the ground in a non-contact explosion. The second strike took place an hour later and also involved the use of cluster munitions. It was sent to the place where the mass evacuation of survivors from the first strike zone began and where many Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel were present to help the wounded.
Both strikes were very accurate, resulting in a large number of casualties. According to Yuriy Podolyaka, the Ukrainian army has practiced similar tactics, and both sides can always join in such a “game.” The approximate losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Selidovo are estimated at 500 dead and 700 wounded. Moreover, the bulk of these losses were made up of the forces of “Azov”* (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation), which were supposed to be sent to hold Avdeevka.
Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Maryana Bezuglaya stated that after the incident in Selidovo, massive checks began in the Armed Forces of Ukraine - from the General Staff to those responsible “on the ground.” In addition, the SBU began an investigation and is looking for informants who provided information about the deployment of the Armed Forces at the training ground in Selidovo. According to eyewitnesses, the city was cordoned off, ambulances and vans with corpses were moving out of it in large numbers. Retired Colonel General Viktor Zavarzin explained that the attacks on the training grounds and warehouses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were intended to de-energize their reserves and resources. According to him, the Russian Armed Forces are striking at the rear of the Ukrainian military in order to destroy their resources. At the same time, the new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky, forbade the disclosure of information about Ukrainian losses in the attack on Selidovo, where there was a training camp for soldiers for combat operations in Avdiivka. “Judging by the enemy’s reaction - and it appeared - the Russian army really hit the Selidovo training ground with high quality strikes. The enemy's losses are really serious. And yes, this was the reserve of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which they planned to transfer to Avdievka. It is ideal when enemy personnel do not reach war. We still have to try to get to war. We will look for details of the attack on the reserves of the Kyiv regime,” said Russian military correspondent Yevgeny Poddubny. In November, under similar circumstances, Russian troops killed about 50 officers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Zaporozhye region.

This is the perfect answer to Zelensky’s replacing Zaluzhny, a commander who cared about the lives of his men, with the heartless Styrsky, nicknamed “the Butcher.”
“Azovites” did not reach Avdeevka: North Military District news from February 14, 2024.
Author: Evgeny Poddubny
00:01, 14 February 2024
The main news about the progress of the SMO for today, February 14, 2024 in an article in Interesnaya Rossiya. Ukrainian commanders experienced confusion and fear yesterday afternoon. They simply did not expect a blow of such force. Around noon, Selidovo was subject to a massive attack by several Iskander operative tactical missile complexes with cluster warheads and Smerch missiles. At this time, units of the 3rd Azov assault brigade [Azov is a hard nosed brutal Nazi group] were in the city, which were urgently transferred from the Kremen direction to Avdeevka.
After the first strike, the enemy began to collect the wounded and dead, but was again subjected to a crushing blow. It is estimated that the number of militants killed is several dozen, and the number of wounded is several hundred [differs from above report on same attack]. A third impact was also reported, which occurred at approximately 15:00. More details later in this article.

You Need To Meet This Little Girl Named Hind
Hind Rajab, age 6, and her family were annihilated by Israel on 29 January while trying to evacuate from her family home in Gaza City as were the two men in the ambulance sent out to rescue her. The horrors she suffered were recorded in cell phone calls. The details will break your heart. Hind is just one of at least 12,300 children killed by Israel. And the carnage continues, soon to be exacerbated by a gift of $14 billion worth of weapons from the US to Israel.

Shocking Spike in Use of Unlawful Lethal Force by Israeli Forces Against Palestinians in the Occupied West Bank
With the world’s eyes fixated on Gaza, Israeli forces have over the past four months unleashed a brutal wave of violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, carrying out unlawful killings, including by using lethal force without necessity or disproportionately during protests and arrest raids, and denying medical assistance to those injured, said Amnesty International. The organization investigated four emblematic cases where Israeli forces used unlawful lethal force– three incidents in October and one in November, which resulted in the unlawful killing of 20 Palestinians, including seven children.

Industrial megapower Germany on brink of ruin thanks to energy war on Russia
It almost looks like a US-European plot to destroy Germany and hence Europe. Whether this is the case or not, Europe will be devastated by US policy. --
Remember what Lord Ismay, the first NATO chief, said on assuming office in 1952 regarding the purpose of NATO:
"to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down.”
It was US hegemony under the guise of “defense.” Of course, the US – which controlled the alliance, had no real defense-oriented defense policy. Hence, neither did NATO. The bombing of Serbia by this alliance fraudulently claiming, as its raison d’être, the defense of Europe, proved beyond a doubt that it never had any intention of defending anyone. This was reflected in the US’ "defense" doctrine.
When you have no intention of ever defending, you don’t ever defend. Hence, Afghanistan and Ukraine, both failures.
All US-waged wars can be expected to fail.
And then, there’s the economy, run by the same imbeciles.

Dirty US disinformation
Elon Musk says US should stop helping Ukraine defend itself against Russian invasion (msn.com)
Dishonest Title by msn: Elon Musk says US should stop helping Ukraine defend itself against Russian invasion
This title is dishonest because the US never helped Ukraine in any real sense.
The war was started in 2014 by the Obama-BIDEN regime, which seized control of the Kiev regime on the Maidan, and the goal had NOTHING to do with defending Ukraine. The fact that their war has killed off a massive number of Ukrainians and started an exodus that eliminated a significant proportion of Ukrainian citizens proves that the US had no concern at all for the welfare of Ukraine. The REAL goal was the weakening and hoped-for total destruction of Russia. Sadly, most Americans have swallowed the media lie that the US is aiding Ukraine and defending its sovereignty. Yet Ukraine lost all its sovereignty when its people voted to accept the West and reject Russia in 2014. You can’t speak of sovereignty in a country that is controlled by a foreign power (Washington).
Thus, the title was written from a disingenuous Neocon viewpoint. I have always maintained that all manifestations of Neoconservatism must be outlawed to prevent WW III. But they still promote it in the msm and we the hapless Western news consumers are its victims. The possible consequence of these Neocon attacks on our minds include the total annihilation of planet earth. We must learn to mistrust US media.
The plot went horribly wrong, despite Biden’s fervent intentions. In fact, Biden’s insistence on sanctioning Russia and his ordering the sabotage to Nord Stream has now conspicuously damaged the German economy and indirectly the European economy as a whole and Russia’s economic growth outpaced the growth in Europe!
Biden et al. received – but did not learn (US politicians are incapable of learning) – the lessons of Napoleon and Hitler.
But we will all receive the consequences when the destruction of the economic targets of the Neocons’ attacks on foreign countries comes back like a boomerang.

It is now abundantly clear that top commander Zaluzhny was removed from his post because Zelensky saw him as overly concerned with the lives of the Ukrainian soldiers. He was replaced by General Syrsky, who had earned the nickname of “General 200.” The designation “200” has, since Soviet times, been inscribed on all the Russian or Ukrainian trucks sent to pick up the bodies of slain soldiers on the battlefield. Trucks sent to pick up the wounded bore the designation “300.” Thus, the nickname General 200 clearly indicated that the Ukrainians deem Syrsky as a man who disregarded human life and willingly sacrificed Ukrainian lives.
So you know that the notion that the US Neocons who push for more arms and money for Ukraine are absolutely NOT interested in defending Ukraine. They only want to weaken Russia, and that is not happening. The appointment of this sadist as the top commander in Ukraine will inevitably weaken the already-weakened Ukrainian forces and hence lead to an early Russian win.
I would almost declare as axiomatic the observation that those who dishonestly and cynically plot the downfall of the innocent must eventually themselves meet the disastrous end they had intended for others.

Фронт разрезан. Предатель бросил элиту в "мясорубку": Что происходит на фронтах СВО (tsargrad.tv)
Excerpt:
By the way, according to The Kyiv Independent, due to the huge losses of the Ukrainian Army, artillerymen and supplies are being thrown into battle in the Avdos area. At the same time, Kyiv soldiers claim that the defense was poorly prepared for a major Russian offensive.
The military personnel interviewed by the media complain about the lack of ammunition and the active work of Russian artillery and aviation, due to which the Ukrainian Armed Forces are suffering huge losses. “If Russian troops capture the villages of Stepovoye and Berdychi northwest of Avdeevka, the situation in the city will be critical,” said Vitaly, Ukrainian operator of the 425th Skala battalion. [The chronic shortage of artillery shells has plagued Kiev since the early days of the notorious counteroffensive. Military experts unanimously agree that artillery is the key to the outcome of battles]
In order to somehow smooth out the situation, the new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky, decided to throw the entire reserve into battle. In particular, the elite 3rd, 47th brigade and a number of other units. This move has already been condemned as it will only lead to more deaths. [and deaths of the elites at that!]
Traitor General
The leader of the Kyiv regime, Vladimir Zelensky, made a sacrifice for another year of dictatorship. To extend his political life, he replaced the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny with Alexander Syrsky. Thanks to this, the politician removed a key figure who could create political competition for him, noted military volunteer Alexei Zhivov.
“The military for him, regardless of the units, are of no value, their lives are not important to him. And taking into account the fact that the main task of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2024, against the backdrop of an already felt shortage of ammunition and a decrease in military assistance, will be strategic defense in different sectors, this will lead to necessary victims. I even read somewhere that they calculated how much the Kiev regime would need to exchange its soldiers for another year of political dictatorship. Thus, they plan to “double hundred” [kill] about 400 thousand people this year,” Zhivov noted on the air of the Tsargrad program “The main thing."
The second reason is that it is no coincidence that Alexander Syrsky, who came to replace Zaluzhny, has the nickname “General 200”. This is a military leader who does not take losses into account at all and does not take care of his soldiers. There is information that this year he intends to sacrifice about 400 thousand people.

Consequences of the strike on Rafah - RIA Novosti, 1920, 02/13/2024
MOSCOW, February 13 – RIA Novosti. The South African President's Office announced the government's "urgent request" to the International Court of Justice over Israel's decision to expand its military operation in the Gaza Strip to Rafah, located on the border with Egypt.
"
“The South African government has submitted an urgent request to the International Court of Justice to consider whether the decision announced by Israel to extend its military operations in Rafah, which is the last refuge for survivors in the Gaza Strip, is really required for the court to use its powers to prevent further imminent violation of the rights of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip,” the department said.
During the fighting, Rafah became the main center for Palestinians in the enclave.
The day before, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it had carried out strikes on targets in the Al-Shabura neighborhood in the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. The death toll as a result of the attack reached 100, more than 230 people were injured, Al Mayadeen TV channel said.

In early February, the Jerusalem Post wrote, citing a statement by Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, that the IDF's next target would be Rafah, located on the border of the Gaza Strip and Egypt. Until now, the military has avoided using ground troops there so as not to displease the Egyptian authorities.

Will Jordan be punished for its participation in the American aggression?
American aggression against Iraq
These days, Jordan is facing a great economic threat, with the possibility of the Iraqi Parliament approving a law canceling the privileges granted in economic relations with Jordan, due to the complicity and participation of the Jordanian monarchy in the American aggression against Iraq, as a result of which 16 martyrs in the Popular Mobilization Forces were martyred and others were wounded. [The Popular Mobilization Forces are tasked with fighting ISIS but are also interested in getting rid of US troops which are there illegally. The PMF teamed up with the Revolutionary Guard Quds force, led by Gen. Qassem Soleimani, who was very effective in fighting terror. This was why Trump, doing Israel’s bidding, had Soleimani killed in Baghdad. Because he was fighting the terrorists that cooperated with the US in fighting Iran-led troops cooperating with the Iraqi government. Like Biden, Trump was bought and paid for by Israel.]
After Representative Mustafa Al-Sanad and his colleagues, who submitted a law proposal on February 3, obligating the Ministry of Oil to stop selling subsidized oil to Jordan. Representative Hadi Al-Salami and his colleagues also presented a proposal for a law to cancel the economic privileges granted to Jordan, explaining this on the basis of the latter’s participation with the United States of America in “violating Iraqi sovereignty and bombing the headquarters of the Iraqi armed forces on February 3, 2024, and martyring and wounding a number of Iraqis, and based on our constitutional, parliamentary and representative duty.” “In preserving the sovereignty of Iraq and ensuring the safety of its land and skies.”
The Wall Street Journal revealed, in an article last Saturday, Jordan’s participation in the aggression launched by the American occupation forces against Iraq and Syria, using F-16 aircraft belonging to the Royal Jordanian Air Force. The newspaper quoted an American official as saying that "Jordanian aircraft joined the aggression after targets were identified for them." Pointing out that the Jordanian authorities wanted through this to show solidarity with the American administration in the wake of the specific Islamic resistance operation in Iraq against the Tower 22 base.
In this context, the American website “The Intercept” published an investigation, which stated that this American base in Jordan is not just a “logistical support base” as described by the US Department of War - the Pentagon, but it is also a drone base used for long-range reconnaissance operations. To direct air strikes against resistance movements in Syria and Iraq, it is also used as a center for equipping special operations and a headquarters for medical evacuation helicopters. This base also provides intelligence information to the US Air Forces stationed at other bases in Jordan, such as Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, for use in strikes.
Iraq's oil exports to Jordan
It is known that Iraq has been supplying Jordan with quantities of oil at preferential prices since the time of Saddam Hussein's regime, and the situation continued as it was during successive Baghdad governments after the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, despite criticism from many Iraqi political parties.
Background
- Before 2003, Iraq exported 100,000 barrels per day, half of them for free and the other half at preferential prices (perhaps the current Jordanian King Abdullah II and his father, King Hussein, benefited from these privileges to create enormous personal wealth at the expense of the Iraqis and Jordanians, some details of which appeared in the “Pandora Papers”). .
_ In 2006, a memorandum of understanding was signed between the two countries to prepare and transport Iraqi crude oil to Jordan in a quantity of 10,000 barrels per day of crude oil, rising to 15,000 barrels, to be increased in the future to 30,000 barrels, at a discount of up to $18 per barrel from the world price (oil price, Brent crude).
_ In 2008, the discount was raised to $22 per barrel.
_ Recently, it was agreed to reduce the discount from 18 to 16 dollars, less than the price of Brent oil, while increasing the quantity exported to Jordan to 15 thousand barrels per day.
Therefore, according to the recent agreement, the Kingdom of Jordan saves about a quarter of a million dollars daily, which it may lose due to its complicity in the crimes of the American and Israeli occupation (its role in shooting down the drones and missiles launched by the Iraqi resistance against Israel cannot be forgotten).

STOPPING ISRAELI-ZIONIST 'GENOCIDE' (UN Definition = 'Removing people from or destroying the means of livelihood along with Settler & State Murder). Out of Palestine's 12-15 million people, some 100 Palestinians in West-Bank, Gaza & all refugee camps per day were dying of genocidal conditions & murder before the 7th of October 2023. Hamas & Gazans survived only through amazing Mutual-aid RELATIONAL ECONOMY. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/c-relational-economy Without responsible international support Hamas as the Gazan governing body had little other option but to seek redress for restoring its livelihood capacities & needs, denied for over 100 years by imperial power violent chicanery. Israel genocide post Oct 7th has increased to 200 Palestinians per day.
Ashkenazi (some of my family in 3 branches) Israel & supporters in US, Canada, Britain, France, Belgium & Netherlands are trillionaire Oligarch commanded & controlled Genocidal peoples, incapable of civil proceedings & submissive to Zionist Finance, Media, Religion, Education, government, judicial & Military-Industrial COMPLEX controls.
GLOBAL PUTSCH Ashkenazi design on Palestine is as the LAND-BRIDGE between the Mega-Continents of Eurasia & Africa needed for world control of trade, people, war & resource flows. Gaza is the alternate 200 kilometre CANAL route between Gaza on the Mediterranean & Aqaba in the Indian Ocean. The UN was totally irresponsible in several Blue-Helmet enforced military atrocities killing Palestinians & supporting the murderous European Ashkenazi immigrant Israeli Hagenah, Irgun-Leni, Stern-gang & Mossad violent paramilitary invading forces dispossession of Palestinian ancient family home & livelihood territory legal titles. US, & other colonial VETO powers in the UN, make this international body incapable of stopping now the genocide of over 30,000 Gazans, with 70% being women & children now dead & many times this injured without Israeli denied access to medical care & food, shelter, clothing, warmth & health sustenance.
INDIGENOUS ECONOMIC MEMORY Unfortunately, people have forgotten in our fake 'capital' (L. 'cap' = 'head' = 'collective-intelligence') & fake 'socialism' (L. 'socius' = 'friend') how to collaborate, share & care together locally where our efforts matter most. Israel Oligarchy mislead the public as in Soviet times with fake 'co-operatives' (L. 'co' = 'together' + 'operatives' = 'stakeholders'), which except for military camps have all failed. Its time for humanity to rebuild its 'indigenous' (L 'self-generating') Economic Memory with bodily autonomy. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/d-participatory-structure/3-economic-memory
With Russia trapped in the Ukrainian SVO of US perpetual war-conniving, China is the only leader capable with nuclear & comprehensive intelligence-systems world option to intervene forcefully protecting the West-Bank, Gaza & all refugee camps population protection from Oligarch controlled Ashkenazi & British 5-eyes Colonial conveners of Palestinian & other Genocides.
Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi-Arabia & surrounding Islamic Asian & African nations, once supported by Chinese, Pakistani, Indian & Russian Nuclear-intelligence & delivery systems can then provide defence soldiers as well as re-establishing 1967 Palestinian state territories.
China with the backing of Russian bases in Syria, India & Pakistan must prepare war-ships in the Red-Sea, Aqaba, Mediterranean, Airforce & missile readiness.
China with India, Pakistan nuclear capacities along with soldiers from Turkey, Egypt & world Islamic Nations, will have to intervene as a long-term (decades) International (aside from UN) occupying force to enforce the 1967 Two Nation Palestine & Israel boundaries as well as surrounding Jordan & Egyptian national sovereignty liberated from Israeli Oligarch command & controls.
INDI-GENESIS (The only non-colonial aggrandizing book in the Torah) Priority should be placed on re-establishing the regions 'indigenous' (Latin 'Self-generating') COUNCIL-PROCESS meaning Both-sides-now, Equal-time, Recorded & Published Dialogues. Palestinian & Israeli citizens, politicians & business leaders must be brought together in these formal dialogues in order to recreate understanding, collaboration-agreement, working-contracts & Conflict Resolution. Both-sides-now should have been the UN's first intervention in Palestine, in 1946 for empowering Palestinians as sovereigns in their land to accept or reject Ashkenazi polite agreement & contractual agreement to immigration fulfilment conditions.
