Major Potential Port Strike Could Bankrupt US Retail, Cripple Supply Chains

Retailers and manufacturers are seeking to mitigate a potentially multibillion-dollar hit if members of the International Longshoremen’s Association go on strike beginning Oct. 1 at 13 of the nation’s major East Coast and Gulf Coast ports.

The contract between the ILA and the United States Maritime Alliance, which negotiates on behalf of management of the ports, terminals and shipping lines, is due to expire at midnight on Sept. 30. The contract covers 25,000 workers and ports stretching from Boston to Houston, the ILA said.

Billions of dollars worth of imported goods, from cars and light trucks to electronics to food, clothing, jewelry and agricultural products come into the US through East Coast and Gulf Coast ports.

Members of the National Retail Federation (NRF) have been concerned about the potential for the strike for months, according to Jonathan Gold, NRF vice president of supply chain and customs policy.

Gold said a strike also has the potential to disrupt retailers stocking up for the holiday season, as well as manufacturers and farmers relying on raw materials to keep operations moving. AKA... this would cause widespread food shortages!

“For retailers, that means holiday shipments might not arrive on time. Manufacturers might not receive parts, materials and supplies needed for production, which will lead to assembly lines shutting down. And farmers won’t be able to get their products to overseas markets, which could lead to lost sales.” Gold said.

Major ports such as Savannah, Georgia, and Houston bring in tons of materials for US manufacturers, such as auto parts, heavy machinery, steel, lumber and other goods.

“Any disruption resulting from the United States Maritime Alliance and the International Longshoremen’s Association negotiations would deal an immediate blow to the manufacturing supply chain,” Christopher Netram, NAM’s managing vice president of policy, recently told CNBC. “A work stoppage at East Coast and Gulf Coast ports would upend logistics for US businesses and hinder the movement of goods upon which millions of Americans depend. Costs will rise and manufacturing jobs will be lost if parts and supplies don’t arrive on time.”

Biden Regime Greenlights Direct War Against Russia

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and British foreign Secretary David Lammy arrived in Kiev for meetings with Ukrainian officials at a critical juncture in Ukraine's war with Russia.

Based on reports out yesterday, both men will tell Kiev they may now utilize weapons supplied by the US and UK to attack pre-war, interior Russia.

That claim was further confirmed by US House of Representatives, Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, who has now publicly said said “I talked to Blinken two days ago, and he is traveling with his counterpart from the UK, to Kiev, to basically tell them that they will allow them [to hit Russia with ATACMS.]"

Russia has ardently warned over the past ten days, that if the West allows Ukraine to begin attacking deep inside Russia with Western-supplied weapons, "it will affect both sides of the Atlantic."

How much longer can any reasonable person expect Russia, to sit back and allow itself to be attacked with American, British, French, and German weaponry, fired by Ukraine?

There is liability and culpability for what the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and NATO member countries, are doing.

If it weren't for the fact that the US and NATO breached the promise made by President George H.W. Bush who promised Mikhail Gorbachev that "NATO will not move one inch eastward" if the then-Soviet Union approved of the reunification of East and West Germany, none of this trouble would be happening.

[Our government] PROMISED the Soviets they would not expand NATO for years. Bill Clinton got into the US Presidency, and the Presidential promise to the Soviets went out the window.

BRICS Confirms 159 Participants Will Adopt New Global Payment System, Abandon US Dollar

After recent rumblings surfaced of how many nations would embrace the impending BRICS Pay system, the bloc has confirmed 159 participants are set to adopt the new payment system.

Indeed, the economic alliance system is poised to hit the ground running when it finally launches.

Now, all eyes are on when that launch will take place. Many have surmised that it would be announced at the highly anticipated 2024 Summit. Moreover, it would be set to go live in what would be a groundbreaking unveiling. If that were to happen, the bloc has already noted there is a long line of entities ready to embrace it.

Earlier this year, the BRICS bloc announced the creation of a blockchain-based payment platform. It would redefine the collective’s global economic standing. Moreover, it would compete with some of the largest payment systems worldwide. That includes the Western-dominated SWIFT system.

Now, the BRICS group confirmed that 159 participants will adopt the new payment system. Indeed, Russian officials verified the number in a recent correction, according to a Yahoo report. Although previous statements rumored 160 countries would be involved, the number was clarified in subsequent reports.

The payment system is crucial to the bloc’s ongoing de-dollarization efforts. It will provide participating countries with an avenue to trade in local currencies. Therefore, it will greatly enhance how these nations settle trade; ultimately, decreasing international necessity for the US greenback.

Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday, said this on the de-dollarization of the world economy:

"The financial and political authorities of the United States are pushing this process forward with their not just careless, but unprofessional and stupid actions.

Top DOJ Spokesman Admits Trump Cases A ‘Perversion of Justice’ On Hidden Camera

The chief spokesman for the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Southern District of New York (SDNY) was caught tearing into Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and other prosecutors for carrying out a “perversion of justice” in targeting former President Donald Trump, hidden camera footage captured by an undercover journalist revealed.

Nicholas Biase, the public affairs director for the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of New York (SDNY), spilled his feelings about the liberal DA when speaking to an unidentified operative with podcaster Steven Crowder’s “Mug Club” on multiple occasions.

In one July 31 clip from what appears to be a bar, Biase said, “To be honest with you, I think the case is nonsense,” after Trump was convicted of 34 felonies for allegedly falsifying business records.

Telling the undercover woman he had known Bragg for 15 years as they used to work together in the SDNY office, Biase accused the DA of “stacking charges [against Trump] and, like, rearranging things just to make it fit a case.”

“He wants to be something … a mayor? I’m not sure what he wants to be, but I know he’s not happy just being the DA of New York County. Before he decided to prosecute Trump, did you know who he was? You do now,” the DOJ official said.

Another clip – this one from August 14 – shared by Crowder shows Biase saying the “state level is like the fucking wild west… they’re like idiots, they don’t care, they’re all political!”

“[Bragg] is probably gonna try to lock [Trump] up… it’s going to be ugly,” he said. “They’re so obsessed with getting him.”

“Who is they?” the operative asked. Biase replied, “The Democrats.”

Israel Directly Threatens Russia As Jews Begin To FLEE Israeli Settlements

The issue of long-range weapons for use in attacking interior, pre-war Russia, is developing into a very big - and dangerous - situation. Threats are being hurled back and forth, very publicly.

It all began when word came out early last week, that the US was "considering" allowing Ukraine to use US-supplied weapons, to attack deep interior, pre-war, Russia.

The Russians sent explicit, written warnings to the US which said "If Ukraine uses long-range weapons to attack interior Russia, it will affect both sides of the Atlantic."

A few days later, at a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group at Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany, word leaked that the question of Ukraine using NATO (West) Supplied weapons to strike deep inside Russia was being discussed!

Russia's Ambassador to The United States, Anatoly Antonov, then repeated publicly, his government's written warning: "If Ukraine uses long-range weapons to attack inside Russia, it will affect both sides of the Atlantic."

Late this past week, word leaked from US and UK Intelligence Agencies claiming Russia had taken delivery of "hundreds" of IRANIAN-MADE FATH-360, short-range ballistic missiles, for Russia to use against Ukraine. This revelation set off a firestorm of threats.

Saturday, the Defense Ministry of Ukraine said that "If Russia uses Iranian Missiles to target Ukrainian Civilians, then their Response against Iran will be Severe." Yes, you read that correctly, Ukraine just threatened Iran!

But the really big development took place today, from Israel. Israel announced that IF Iran supplies missiles for Russia to use in attacking Ukraine, then Israel will supply "long range precision missiles to Ukraine, to strike Russia." Yes, you read that correctly: Israel just threatened the Russians.

20,000 Haitians Invade & Trash Ohio Town, Begin Eating Peoples' Pets And Wildlife

The city of Springfield, Ohio - population 60,000, has been overwhelmed by roughly 20,000 Haitian illegal migrants, who flocked to the city - exacerbating a 'significant housing crisis' according to city officials, and eating pets and wildlife according to locals.

During an Aug. 27 City Commission meeting, one local resident said that Haitians were "in the park grabbing ducks, cutting the heads off, and eating them."

Another local resident posted to a Facebook group that their neighbor had a cat go missing - only to see it "hanging from a branch, like you'd do a deer for butchering, & they [the Haitians] were carving it up to eat."

Springfield is a mid-sized town in Ohio. 4 years ago, they had 60k residents. Under Harris and Biden, 20,000 Haitian immigrants were shipped to the town.

While the cat claim has been refuted by as "racist fear-mongering", others have provided receipts showing that cats are indeed part of Haitian cuisine.

Absolutely HEARTBREAKING moment Springfield, Ohio, resident tells mayor that she "can't take it anymore" as Haitian migrants squat on her lawn, litter in her yard and harass her and elderly husband daily.

The mayor of Springfield does NOT want people to see this:

State-run Media Refuses To Cover Massive Brazil Protests Over Free Speech Violation

Thousands of Brazilians flooded city streets on Saturday to protest against the government's censorship crusade against Elon Musk's free-speech Twitter X platform.

The demonstration, held Saturday on Independence Day, was led by former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro - who said in response to Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes: "I hope that the Federal Senate puts the brakes on Alexandre de Moraes, this dictator who does more harm to Brazil than Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva himself."

There’s a massive free speech protest in Brazil today. The media coverage:

CNN - nothing. AP - nothing. Reuters - nothing. NYT - nothing.

Several notable X accounts, including journalist Michael Shellenberger, are reporting from Sao Paulo's main boulevard, where tens of thousands have gathered today in opposition to far-left Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes that recently blocked X nationwide.

Brazilian President Lula and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes say they must block X to protect Brazil's independence. X is a platform for dangerous, false, and hateful words, they say, and many of those words violate Brazil's laws and Constitution.

But their censorship goes far beyond what Brazil's constitution allows. The government demanded that X and other social media networks censor and ban individual people, including journalists and politicians. Such bans are immoral, illegal, and unconstitutional. They constitute election interference and undermine democracy by preventing candidates from getting the word out.

Rebel News journalists were also on the ground, capturing the massive crowds via drone footage.

Iran Just Gained Much Needed War Defense Intel On Israel, Jordan, US & UK

At 8:30 AM eastern US Time on Sunday, Israel's War Cabinet will convene a meeting in an Army Bunker, not its regular meeting place at the Prime Minister's Office.

The meeting will discuss an Israeli "response" to yesterday's Iran Response, to the April 1st attack by Israel upon the Iran Embassy Compound in Damascus, Syria.

President Joe Biden has reportedly told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, "The United States will NOT participate in any Israeli attack upon Iran."

According to several sources inside Israel, after being told that, Netanyahu "vetoed" a response plan previously approved by the War Cabinet.

As such, this morning's meeting will likely be very frustrating for the Israelis since they apparently can't get the United States to fight Iran for them.

Yesterday's launch of Drones, Cruise Missiles, and Ballistic missiles by Iran, marked the first time in history that Iran directly attacked Israel. It's never happened before.

This event has changed the Middle East, in many ways, forever.

First, the "awe" of Israeli military power, has been dimmed by Iran. While US, UK, and Israeli planes were able to down ALL drones launched by Iran, and Israel's "David's Sling" and "Arrow" missile defenses were able to down ALL cruise missiles fired by Iran, at least seven (7) Iranian BALLISTIC missiles, got thru and struck Israel.

US State Department's Well Paid Online Propaganda Troll Farms HACKED

For a long time, K Street firms in Washington DC, operating “Internet Opinion Management” houses/boiler rooms, have been run by the State Department and the CIA. Today, two of those anti-Russian operations have been HACKED and their info, leaked.

Databases from the anti-Russian funds The US Russia Foundation (USRF) and Free Russia Foundation (FRF) have now been leaked online. Among the leaked documents are the organizations' payrolls, information about correspondences and their participants, and other data.

The CEO of the "US Russia Foundation", Matthew Rojansky, is about as "Deep State" as it gets.

From Wiki: "He served as a director of the U.S.-Russia Foundation and founded the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace's Ukraine Program. From July 2013 to January 2022, Rojansky was the director of the Kennan Institute at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, which focuses on Russia and Ukraine issues."

As for the "Free Russia Foundation", it appears to be an entirely State Department / CIA creation, run by a LONG-Time Deep State Minion, David Kramer.

Former employees of these organizations have already confirmed the authenticity of the documents. They noted that these documents were previously unpublished and likely leaked from cloud storage used for grant reports.

The documents reveal that the foundation's employees were destabilizing the situation in Russia using a bot farm, for which a special guide was written as part of an anti-Russian campaign overseen by intelligence services.

It turned out that the employees of this "elf factory" posted calls for protests, criticized the authorities, and even pretended to be wives of mobilized men. The documents show that "elves" were essentially given ready-made messages where they only needed to insert, for example, the name of a city or square where demonstrations were planned. Bots were also encouraged to spread complaints about "local administration," though exactly which administration was left for the employees to decide.
