Lew,

Oliver Stone posted on X on 3/11 his 2022’s views on the Ukraine-Russia war as well as Jeffrey Sach’s “Geopolitics of Peace” speech before the EU on 2/19. Sachs lays out the neocon foreign policy and NATO expansionism of the past 30 years that initiated no-win wars. Words of wisdom from peacemakers Stone and Sachs. My quibble with Stone, whose filmmaking especially “JFK” I hold in high esteem, is his unfortunate promotion of climate change. Hasn’t it occurred to him that the #1 reason exposing why the climate change agenda is fraudulent is that the largest emitter of carbon, the US military, is excluded from policies proposed to fix the alleged crisis.

Lew,

President Trump has announced he will work to primary Rep. Thomas Massie, the best, most liberty promoting member of Congress. Is it because Trump doesn’t like Massie’s principled stance opposing the CR, the massive spending bill that increases defense spending that Trump supports? Link:

Or is it because Massie has told AIPAC to stay out of his office and recommended the powerful Israeli lobby group register as a lobbyist for a foreign nation? Massie famously told Tucker Carlson every Republican congressman has an AIPAC babysitter. Link:

In the central region that lies between the mainly Muslim north and largely Christian south, armed Muslims on February 24, 2004 killed more than 75 Christians in the town of Yelwa, at least 48 of them inside a church compound. Then on May 2 and 3, hundreds of well-armed Christians surrounded the town from different directions and killed around 700 Muslims. They also abducted scores of women, some of whom were raped. Both attacks were well-organized, and in both instances, the victims were targeted on the basis of their religion.

At the heart of the conflict is the distinction between “indigenes” — people who consider themselves as the original inhabitants of an area — and those whom they view as “settlers.” The concept of “indigeneship” has been exploited and used to discriminate against those termed as “settlers.”

“The Nigerian government needs to remove the distinction between ‘indigenes’ and ‘settlers’,” said Takirambudde. “As long as this distinction is given official recognition, the potential for further conflict remains.”

Writtes John Smith.:

Many Nigerians argue that the real reason for the violence isn’t ethnic or religious differences but the scramble for land, scarce resources and political clout. Poverty, joblessness and corrupt politics drive extremists from both sides to commit horrendous atrocities. …

Andrew Kakabadse, professor of international management development at the U.K.-based Cranfield School of Management, says oil companies have at various times pitted ethnic factions against one another for economic gain.

If you take the Russian “invasion” of the Ukraine in a vacuum, then it becomes easy to come to the conclusion that Putin’s overall goal is to restore the Russian Empire via territorial ambitions.

However, a student of history doesn’t look at these events in a vacuum.

Jeffrey Sachs talks about the Wolfowitz Doctrine and US Unipolar New World Order policy and its ramifications to the EU Parliament last month.  He validates everything I had guessed had happened from what I had pieced together on my own.

Be a student of history and listen to him.

Here we go again. Congressman Massie refuses to support reckless government spending and increased debt. President Trump comes out to criticize Massie and says he should be primaried. Many will remember that we’ve been down this road before with the trillions in Covid spending (and subsequent inflation). Massie vehemently opposed the Covid spending, was criticized by President Trump, and was primaried. Massie was right and won the primary election. It’s not a good look for President Trump to do this again.

Timothy Alexander Guzman, Silent Crow News – Everything is getting scarier by the day, in our modern-day society, we as human beings have a lot to worry about, thanks to the ruling class of globalists including their corporations, the Military-Industrial Complex, the Zionist cabal, Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Tobacco, Big Tech and of course, Big Ag or Big Food which is what I want to focus on because they are in the process of creating lab-grown milk which can become a reality in your local supermarket.

Forbes just published an article on lab-grown milk called ‘First Lab-Grown Whole Cow’s Milk to Debut in The U.S.’ based on a brand called (are you ready for this?) ‘UnReal Milk’, yes, it’s an Orwellian title to say the least.

One of the reasons for this type of milk is to fight “Climate Change.” They say that dairy farmers are looking for ways to reduce their reliance on cows because they “fart” greenhouse gases known as methane gas.  The United Nations has two main organizations that focus on the environment and agriculture, The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) have claimed that a cow can release more than 500 liters of methane per day, which supposedly accounts for about 3.7 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions released around the world.

According to Forbes, “Dairy farming is under increasing pressure for its environmental impact, consuming vast resources and emitting methane— a greenhouse gas far more potent than CO₂. As the food industry searches for lower-carbon alternatives, Boston-based startup Brown Foods is preparing to showcase UnReal Milk, the world’s first lab-grown whole cow’s milk— produced without a single cow.”

The lab-grown milk company, Brown Foods is a start-up company founded by Sohail Gupta, Bhavna Tandon and Avhijeet Kapoor.  Gupta said that “UnReal Milk is produced using mammalian cell culture— replicating the nutrition, taste, and texture of traditional dairy. It can be processed into butter, cheese, and ice cream, offering a lower-carbon, cruelty-free alternative to conventional milk. Brown Foods claims its production method slashes carbon emissions by 82%, water use by 90%, and land use by 95%, without relying on livestock”.

Lab tests are already taking place according to biopharmaceutical manufacturing expert, Dr. Richard Braatz, who is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at MIT and is on the Scientific Advisory board for Brown Foods:

The first version of UnReal Milk is already undergoing lab validation. Independent testing from the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, affiliated with MIT, confirmed the presence of all essential dairy proteins, making the product structurally identical to traditional milk. Brown Foods has also confirmed that UnReal Milk contains the same milk fats, primarily triglycerides, and carbohydrates found in conventional dairy

They expect lab-grown milk to gain a third of the dairy market:

Rising greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water scarcity linked to traditional animal agriculture have spurred innovation in plant-based, fermentation-derived, and lab-grown proteins. With increasing investment and technological advancements, these alternatives are rapidly moving from niche products to mainstream options.

In the lab-grown space, meat has dominated the spotlight, securing $2 billion in investments in 2022 and USDA approval in 2023, but lab-grown dairy is still carving out its place in the market. According to The Insight Partners, the dairy alternatives sector is on track to expand from $31.13 billion in 2023 to $70.60 billion by 2031. Some analysts project that animal-free dairy could eventually capture up to 33% of the $893 billion traditional dairy market

The idea of creating dairy products in labs has gained attention over the last few years since the growing concerns over Climate Change. An article published in 2022 by Global Corporate Venturing ‘Is lab-grown milk ready for the mainstream?’ says that Bill Gates and Israel has also been involved in the lab-grown milk business:

Since 2018, GCV has reported around 20 corporate investments in various lab-grown meat and milk startups such as Israel-based milk developer Imagindairy, which raised $15m in its latest seed funding round, with the Israel-based Strauss Group as their corporate investor. Motif FoodWorks, a food technology company developing alternative milks, also raised $226m in a series B round with Bill’s Gates Breakthrough Energy Ventures participating.

Israel, in particular, has become a hotspot for various lab-grown milk startups with the country seeking to be the first to end the climate and global food shortage crisis

There are different forms of creating lab-grown milk according to Forbes:

Efforts to produce milk without cows are taking various forms. Senara, a German startup, is growing cell-cultured mammary cells in partnership with dairy farmers, blending biotechnology with traditional milk production. Wilk, an Israeli venture, focuses on producing cultured milk fats, used in making cheese and yogurt. These approaches contrast with UnReal Milk, which is taking a fully lab-based route, aiming to replicate whole cow’s milk without relying on livestock or traditional dairy systems. For Brown Foods, the goal is not just to mimic dairy but to recreate it at a molecular level

It’s not just the US and Israel involved in producing lab grown products, Chile has its own laboratory experiments:

However, lab-grown milk units are appearing in other regions too. The Chile-based group NotCo, for example, uses laboratory and AI-based techniques to find plant combinations to replicate animal-based products.

In July 2021, NotCo raised $235m in a series D round that saw various corporations such as the global banking firm Catterton Partners and the US-based holdings company, Endeavor

Lab-Grown Breast Milk is Now Being Engineered for Newborns and Infants

They call it cell-cultured human milk for newborn babies and infants, the US based company ‘Biomilq’ was founded in 2019.  Michelle Egger, co-founder, and the CEO of the company said that “Our product will shift demand away from the dairy industry, benefitting the planet while nourishing babies with a 100% human alternative feeding option,” she continued, “By shifting demand away from the liquid global dairy market, parents who cannot or choose not to breastfeed could still rely on a nutritious alternative feeding option without feeling the need to make a trade-off between their child’s health and the environment.”

Egger also said that “Scale-up and regulatory obstacles are a consistent challenge in the cellular agriculture industry,” She claims that this process will be a viable nutritious option for babies, “With that being said, in preparation for our upcoming product, we have begun engineering work to translate our experimental results at the benchtop scale to pilot production, making milk outside the body a reality that will lead to a novel option for infant nutrition.

Dr. Joseph Mercola has criticized Big Ag and their plans to create fake foods for many years once said that “The justification for creating synthetic milk substitutes is, of course, preventing and reversing “climate change.” That’s the justification used to sell virtually all fake foods. In reality, however, they will perpetuate and worsen adverse effects on the environment.” Mercola made it clear that “Lab-created foods are ultraprocessed and therefore qualify as junk food. Fake meat and dairy cannot replace the complex mix of nutrients found in grass fed beef and dairy, and it’s likely that consuming ultraprocessed meat and milk alternatives may lead to many of the same health issues that are caused by a processed food diet.”

From lab-grown meats, chicken, seafood, and even pet foods, now they want you and your children to drink lab-grown milk that you might find in your local supermarket all in the name of fighting climate change.

The post Lab-Grown Milk Coming to a Supermarket Near You appeared first on LewRockwell.

Yesterday I watched two videos. The first was President Trump’s interview with Maria Bartiromo in which he declared that Zelensky took money from Biden like “candy from a baby.”

The second video I watched was of what appeared to be a Ukrainian soldier crying as hard as I have ever seen a grown man cry. And he wasn’t just any grown man, but an extremely tough looking one.

With so much propaganda being slung around on the internet, I hesitate to share it. I believe he was speaking Ukrainian and not Russian, and amid sobs, he was raging at the men who run his country, including Zelensky. His grief-stricken rant did not include much exposition. He seemed to assume that his audience would understand precisely what he was talking about. His overall lament was that he and his friends had been screwed.

Have the ordinary soldiers of Ukraine been screwed—that is, sent ill-equipped to the front while the oligarchs who run their country and their senior officers have siphoned much of the money and sold many of the sophisticated weapons on the international market?

The crying soldier reminded me of Siegfried Sassoon’s World War I poem, “Base Details.”

If I were fierce, and bald, and short of breath, …
I’d live with scarlet Majors at the Base,
And speed glum heroes up the line to death.
You’d see me with my puffy petulant face,
Guzzling and gulping in the best hotel,
Reading the Roll of Honour. “Poor young chap,”
I’d say—”I used to know his father well;
Yes, we’ve lost heavily in this last scrap.”
And when the war is done and youth stone dead,
I’d toddle safely home and die—in bed.

It’s an ancient soldier’s lament. The senior officer class, the lords, and their banker friends live exceedingly well while the “glum heroes”—i.e., ordinary soldiers, get run into the meat grinder.

I don’t have proof, but I have a strong hunch that a great deal of the money and weapons that our Glorious U.S. Government has sent to Ukraine have been stolen. Multiple international watchdog organizations have long characterized the country as one of the most corrupt on earth. For years, a small number of billionaire oligarchs have owned all of the assets in a nation in which the median household income is about $1,000 per annum.

I get the impression that President Trump has been presented with documentary proof of what has, for me, been a mere hunch. Someone has shown him evidence that billions of American funds have been siphoned off by shady players in Ukraine.

The gigantic flow of weapons from the U.S. to Ukraine raises the suspicion that the country has become a supply depot for international arms dealers. Years ago, when I lived in Vienna, I used to go to a place called the Broadway Bar owned by a Hungarian pianist named Bela Koreny, and there I would occasionally bump into a glamorous Israeli who once told me after a few drinks that he was an arms dealer. I didn’t really believe him—I figured it was just a cool-sounding thing to say to impress girls. On the other hand, I’m not a girl, and he seemed to know a lot about international arms dealing. Curious to learn more, I read a few books about the trade.

Some of the most notable arms dealers in history were Iranians such as Adnan Khashoggi, Manucher Ghorbanifar, and Cyrus Hashemi. Most Americans today probably don’t remember the Iran Contra Affair that involved U.S. arms trafficking to Iran between 1981-1986. The harebrained reasoning—both in Washington and in Tel Aviv—was that it was a good thing to maintain the war that was then raging between Iraq and Iran.

Thus, while at the exact same time the Reagan Administration was publicly declaring that no one should sell arms to Iran, it was secretly working with Israeli agents to sell arms to Iran — about $2 billion per annum worth between 1980 and 1985.

This shady traffic culminated in 1985, when National Security Advisor Robert McFarlane—a typically naive Washington knucklehead—was talked into a deal whereby the Iranians would get Hezbollah to release U.S. hostages being held in Lebanon in exchange for 100 U.S. TOW missiles.

Wikipedia provides a pretty good summary of the Affair.

The idea behind the plan was for Israel to ship weapons through an intermediary (identified as Manucher Ghorbanifar) to the Islamic Republic as a way of aiding a supposedly moderate, politically influential faction within the regime of Ayatollah Khomeini who was believed to be seeking a rapprochement with the US; after the transaction, the US would reimburse Israel with the same weapons, while receiving monetary benefits.

Secret Israeli arms sales and shipments to Iran began in that year, even as, in public, “the Reagan Administration” presented a different face, and “aggressively promoted a public campaign […] to stop worldwide transfers of military goods to Iran”. The New York Times explained: “Iran at that time was in dire need of arms and spare parts for its American-made arsenal to defend itself against Iraq, which had attacked it in September 1980”, while “Israel [a US ally] was interested in keeping the war between Iran and Iraq going to ensure that these two potential enemies remained preoccupied with each other”.

I fear that this is the kind of shady deal that has been going on in Ukraine, only on a much bigger scale. What is especially terrifying about it is the possibility that many people in the U.S. government will work hard to conceal the reality of what has been going on with U.S. money and weapons.

To make matters even more complex, I suspect that the Russians could provide Trump with good intelligence about the fate of U.S. arms and money in Ukraine. The trouble with this is that the Americans have been heavily conditioned by our corrupt and lying intelligence agencies to believe that any intelligence coming from the Russians is necessarily disinformation.

We saw this in the case of the Wikileaks Clinton-DNC-Podesta emails and in the case of Hunter Biden’s laptop. Whenever corrupt U.S. intelligence agencies want to cover for Washington’s corrupt political establishment, they claim that the evidence thereof is “Russian Disinformation.”

It’s possible that President Trump is now in a position to end this corrupt horror show, but he faces enormous resistance to doing so.
