Australia Planning New Base that Could Resupply, Maintain U.S. Nuclear Submarines
March 9th, 2022Via: The Hill:
Australia is set to build a new naval base off of its east coast, which could provide American nuclear submarines with supplies and maintenance and bolster regional defenses against China.
Of the 19 sites reviewed for the new base’s location, officers narrowed it down to three possibilities including Brisbane, Newcastle and Port Kembla. All three possible sites are in the proximity of the infrastructure needed to support submarines and to accommodate a growing workforce, according to Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s Monday announcement.
Initial work on the project is expected to be completed by the end of next year.
War Propaganda About Ukraine Becoming More Militaristic, Authoritarian, and Reckless

Every useful or pleasing claim about the war, no matter how unverified or subsequently debunked, rapidly spreads, while dissenters are vilified as traitors or Kremlin agents.
Video: U.S. Intelligence Officials Warn Putin Could NUKE A Ukrainian City
March 9th, 2022Mmm hmm.
Via: Summit News:
U.S. intelligence officials claimed Tuesday that Vladimir Putin is ‘desperate’ to end the conflict over Ukraine, with some privately suggesting he could set off a tactical nuclear weapon in a Ukrainian city to get the job done.
Heads of the CIA, FBI, NSA, Defense Intelligence Agency and the Director of National Intelligence all spoke at a House Select Committee on Intelligence hearing, and all claimed Putin is frustrated with the slow pace of the invasion.
The intelligence officials also claimed that up to 4000 Russian troops have been killed in the past two weeks.
Fuelled by his disappointments, Putin could resort to using a small nuke, they intimated, as insane as that sounds.

Large Scale False Flag Cyber-Attack Incoming [???]
March 8th, 2022Via: Alt-Market:
The truth is, the globalists at the WEF and their partners abroad FAILED in their efforts to institute medical tyranny, at least in the US and in certain parts of Europe. The agenda collapsed because the science was against them in every respect. They had nothing. With 99.7% of people safe from covid, it was impossible to engineer enough fear in enough of the population to get them to relinquish their freedoms.
So, for those of us that have been tracking these events carefully, the alarm bells really started ringing when the WEF switched gears and suddenly shifted focus to a cyber-attack narrative. Was this Plan-B?
Florida Health Officials to Recommend AGAINST Vaccinating ‘Healthy’ Children
March 8th, 2022Via: Daily Mail:
Florida is now the first state to recommend against using the COVID-19 vaccine in an authorized population.
Surgeon General Dr Joseph Ladapo said Monday that the state will formally recommend against COVID-19 vaccinations for ‘healthy’ children.
The move puts state-level officials in disagreement with federal officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the encourage people to give their children the jab.
Children face little risk from Covid, with hospitalizations or deaths caused by the virus being especially rare. The outright recommending against an approved drug by a local health officials is a rarity, though.
U.S. Pushing Poland to Provide MiG-29s to Ukraine
March 8th, 2022Update: Poland Ready to Place All Its MIG-29 Jets at the Disposal of U.S.
Via: Reuters:
Poland is ready to deploy all its MIG-29 jets to Ramstein Air Base in Germany and put them at the disposal of the United States, and urges other NATO members that own planes of that type to do the same, the Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday.
U.S. lawmakers pushed President Joe Biden’s administration on Monday to facilitate the transfer of fighter aircraft to Ukraine from Poland as well as other NATO and Eastern European countries, after a plea on Saturday from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
“The authorities of the Republic of Poland … are ready to deploy – immediately and free of charge – all their MIG-29 jets to the Ramstein Air Base and place them at the disposal of the Government of the United States of America,” the ministry said.
“At the same time, Poland requests the United States to provide us with used aircraft with corresponding operational capabilities. Poland is ready to immediately establish the conditions of purchase of the planes,” it said in a statement.

Days after a European Union-announced plan to supply Ukraine with fighter jets fell through upon statements from Polish, Slovakian and Bulgarian defense officials, it appears the U.S. government is still encouraging a transfer of jets to Ukraine despite Russian warnings.
Speaking on CBS’s Face the Nation, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said a potential transfer of Polish Air Force MiG-29s to Ukraine would get a “green light” from the U.S. government to proceed. Blinken added there are ongoing negotiations with the Polish government, with particular attention to how Poland would replace those donated jets, potentially with American fighters.
“We are looking actively now at the question of airplanes that Poland may provide to Ukraine and looking at how we might be able to backfill should Poland decide to supply those planes,” Blinken told reporters separately on Sunday during his visit to Moldova. “I can’t speak to a timeline but I can just say we’re looking at it very, very actively.”
USA TO BAN IMPORTS OF RUSSIAN OIL
March 8th, 2022It represents 3% of U.S. oil imports. While that might not sound like much, with the high level of chaos already in the market, it’s going to mean more upward pricing pressure at the pump now than it would during more normal times.

The White House is expected to impose a ban on U.S. imports of oil from Russia as punishment for the invasion of Ukraine, Democratic U.S. Senator Chris Coons said.
Is Putin the New Coronavirus?
March 7th, 2022Via: Ron Paul:
President Biden’s “maskless” State of the Union signifies the near-end of the COVID tyranny we have lived under for the past two years. Fortunately for Congress, the President, and the Federal Reserve, the Ukraine-Russia conflict is replacing COVID as a ready-made excuse for their failures and a justification for expanding their power.
Even before politicians began declaring the end of the pandemic, polls showed that rising prices were the people’s top concern – particularly the increase in gas prices. Since Russia is one of the world’s leading energy producers, sanctions imposed on Russia, as well as Germany’s decision (made under pressure from the US) to shut down the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, provide a convenient excuse for rising gas prices. This is the case even though the US, citing the “instability” in world energy markets created by the Russian-Ukraine conflict, has yet to officially ban imports of Russian oil.
The Federal Reserve has been planning several interest rate increases this year, even though some fear that rate increases could decrease growth and increase unemployment. The Russian crisis allows the Fed to either postpone rate increases or blame Russia for any unemployment that accompanies the rate increases. Either way, the Fed can use the crisis to deflect attention away from its responsibility for our economic problems. As of now, it appears the Fed will go through with at least a modest rate increase this month, but because of the Ukraine crisis, the increase will be smaller than previously expected.
The Ukraine crisis also provides an excuse for Congress to do what Congress does best: increase federal spending. President Biden has requested Congress provide an additional $10 billion in emergency military aid to Ukraine. Congress will likely quickly approve the President’s request. This will not likely be the last time Congress rushes billions of “emergency” money to Ukraine.
It is also certain that lobbyists for the military-industrial-complex are already “explaining” to a very receptive Capitol Hill audience why the Ukraine crisis justifies increasing the military budget to “counter the threats” from Russia, China, and whoever else can serve as a convenient boogeyman. It is unlikely there will be much resistance in Congress to a further increase, even though the US already spends more than the combined defense budgets of the next nine biggest spending countries.
Over the past two years, many leading Internet companies did the government’s bidding by “de-platforming” anyone who expressed skepticism of vaccines or promoted alternative treatments — even when they presented evidence to support their claims. These companies are once again helping the government by de-platforming those who question, or are suspected of questioning, the official narrative regarding Ukraine. Yet these companies’ concerns with “fake news” have not led them to stop people from sharing widely debunked stories supporting the US-backed Ukrainian government.
