‘Human' remains found in Amazon where British journalist, Brazilian expert vanished
[NY Post] I seen dis movie
Brazil search teams found possible human remains in their hunt for a British journalist and indigenous expert as the suspect’s family professed his innocence in the case.

Dom Phillips, who was a regular contributor to the Guardian and Washington Post, and Bruno Pereira were last seen Sunday in the Sao Rafael region of the Amazon rainforest where they disappeared after passing through a lawless region by boat.

This week’s developments saw police find traces of blood on a boat belonging to local resident Amarildo da Costa, who is considered the main suspect in the pair’s disappearance.

Now, experts will investigate the “organic material” found in a river near the town of Atalaia do Norte in the Amazon rainforest, in what may be the biggest break yet for the five-day investigation.

A Brazilian judge ordered suspect da Costa, who was this week charged with illegal possession of restricted ammunition, to be held for another 30 days while police investigate his involvement in the case.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] It begins.

  • Now, that woman is joining with two other families in attempt to halt the investigations into them for alleged 'child abuse'

  • The Texas Department of Family and Protective Service opened nine investigations following the directive

#3  Puberty Blockers are not 'reversable'.

The 'mother' likely forced her daughter to take them and the poor mixed up kid finally realised the totality of what 'dear mother' did to her.
Of course the media will claim she suicided because she wasn't 'accepted' in school.

Geico STD lawsuit: Company ordered to pay $5.2M in settlement with woman
[FoxBusiness] A woman in Missouri won $5.2 million in a settlement with Geico after she contracted a sexually transmitted disease.

The woman said she contracted Human papillomavirus (HPV) while having sexual intercourse inside a vehicle insured by Geico, and the company quickly found a petition for payout from the unnamed woman.

She alleged that because her partner failed to take proper precautions and infected her inside the insured car, her HPV infection should be covered by the policy.

The petition was filed in February 2021, and subsequently rejected by April of the same year. After a final settlement offer of $1 million was rejected by Geico, the dispute went to arbitration.

An arbitrator with the Jackson County Circuit Court found in favor of the woman, recommending a $5.2 million payout from Geico.

The Missouri Court of Appeals deferred to the arbitrator and refused to overturn the previous findings.

"At the time of Geico's intervention, liability and damages had been determined by an arbitrator and confirmed by the trial court. GEICO had no right to relitigate those issues," the court wrote.

The court wrote in its decision that Geico may have been able to avoid the payout if they had defended the woman's sexual partner – the owner of the insured car.

Instead, because they chose to deny coverage, their path of legal recourse was compromised.

If ruled, GEICO must pay.
Then it just to the Medical coverage limits covered by the policy.

Besides, I did not read where it was forced sex, or she demanded he use a condom. Or the vehicle was moving or caused the HPV.

Could she have infected others?
If so, will her employer/renter/home Policy cover them?

BTW: Note: In most cases (9 out of 10), HPV goes away on its own within two years without health problems.

#1  Russian allegory...
During mating season, male bears attack females with cubs
in order to get to the cub, whom they aim to kill as they look to sexually excite the female, who can't do so when taking care of young offspring


Ah so the "cub" = Ukraine (now killed), the female = the Zelensky regime and the male = Biden and his neo-cons.

And Biden and Zelensky have hurled themselves off a cliff.

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Korrespondent] 23:56 Zelensky said in an evening video message that the Cabinet of Ministers has already begun implementing the decisions that were discussed at meetings this week. In particular, a draft law was agreed that allows customs clearance of a car through a public service in Dії - this will make the entire customs clearance process as transparent and convenient as possible and immediately remove all shadow schemes.

Non-repayable grants for micro-businesses and other special financial support for small and medium enterprises will also be provided. "Despite all the pressure from Russia, against all Russian strikes, we will do everything to revive economic activity in Ukraine," the president stressed.

23:50 Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Olga Stefanishyna said that any EU decisions, except for granting Ukraine candidate status, will be perceived in Ukraine as a betrayal: "I believe that any decisions, except for granting Ukraine candidate status, will weaken before of all European leaders and our desire, the faith of the Ukrainian people in the European project as such. Therefore, I think that this decision will disappoint us, it will be perceived as a betrayal in our country. Of course, we will not abandon European integration, but we will feel that European leaders They missed their historic opportunity."

23:27 Arestovich believes that the total Ukrainian losses are up to 10 thousand people: "The Russian side has much more. At the beginning of the conflict, 100 people per day died on average, and the Russian army killed 1,000 per day for the first 20-30 days "Now it's 200-300, no less. It will fluctuate like this - 1:5, 1:3, 1:6."

"During a frank dialogue with students and teachers of British universities, I was convinced of three things. The war in Ukraine is not indifferent to them, the lies about this war are noticeable and disgusting, but the truth is known, needed and important. Thank you for this conversation and solidarity with Ukraine" , the president said.

22:47 Arestovich said that in Staraya Zburyevka, Kherson region, two generals were killed - one from the army and one from the FSB (he was responsible for organizing a referendum in the Kherson region).

22:24 Biden, speaking in Los Angeles, said that Americans pay "Putin's tax" on fuel and food: "We've never seen anything like Putin's tax on food and gasoline at once."

22:20 Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic refused Scholz his statement about the need to join the sanctions against the Russian Federation, writes The Guardian. Vučić, at a joint press conference, said that he did not consider the sanctions "effective" and that his country was in a difficult position, given the long-standing special relationship between Serbia and Russia: "As for sanctions, we have a different position ...

According to Reuters, during the summit in Copenganen, the official said that "the allies have certain concerns, and Turkey also has them, and they are quite legitimate when it comes to terrorists." Joane also said that he sees "no signs that Russia has the ability or intention at this stage to show military aggression" against the Scandinavian countries.

21:26 In two weeks, the Armed Forces of Ukraine moved the front line from Zaporozhye by 5-7 km, Mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov said.

21:05 The head of the US mission to the OSCE, Michael Carpenter, said that the Russian authorities began to formalize the process of annexing the Kherson region, violating human rights and international law: "Kherson has become the place that I would call a laboratory of horrors. We see how the Kremlin launched its strategy of annexing Ukrainian territories to Russia. And we have seen such a strategy before. These are all, unfortunately, quite well-known steps. We believe that the Kremlin is waiting for the moment to annex the Kherson region to Russia, and we believe that the referendum is one of possible ways."

The American diplomat stressed that the Russian occupiers systematically torture civilians in the occupied territories of the Kherson region: “Now we see reports of torture of at least 600 people in the Kherson region. They are kept in special basements that serve as torture rooms. There is information about the exact location Such premises are the building of the Kherson State Administration and Lyceum No. 17 in Genichesk, where the Russian military takes local officials, journalists, public activists and people whom the Russians consider participants in rallies against the Russian occupation.”

20:44 Denmark supports the European aspiration of Ukraine, but the decision on granting candidate status will be made after receiving the opinion of the European Commission, Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod told the UP: “Denmark fully supports the European aspiration of Ukraine. That is why Denmark also supported the rapid initiation of the process necessary to process the request "We are now awaiting the opinion of the European Commission on the extent to which Ukraine meets the criteria necessary to continue the process."

20:32 Ukraine is able to oust Russia from Donbass, British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said at a meeting with Zelensky: "We now see that Ukraine is able to oust Russia from Donbass. We see that the Russian regime is on the verge of collapse, at least in that as far as military power is concerned. That is, they are now also on the verge of exhaustion."

20:13 The world's sixth largest economy has taken a neutral stance on the issue of Russia's war against Ukraine, refusing to impose sanctions, in connection with which Moscow has high hopes for Delhi amid the collapse of expectations associated with China. More details - in the material India buys Russian oil - will it save the Russian Federation .

19:51 The leaders of nine countries of Central and Eastern Europe asked NATO to strengthen its eastern flank after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The heads of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Slovakia met in Bucharest less than three weeks before the NATO summit in Madrid, AFP reported. They will also discuss the impact of the Russian invasion on the security of NATO's "vulnerable partners", including Moldova and Georgia.

19:33 The head of the Nikolaev OVA, Vitaly Kim, announced the details of the rescue of the head of the Shevchenkovsky district of the Nikolaev region, Oleg Pilipenko, who was abducted on March 10: "Today, thanks to the joint efforts of the Coordinating Headquarters for the treatment of prisoners of war, Oleg, as well as four more of our civilians, will already be at home. The exchange took place on formula "4 by 5" (four of them, five of ours)."

19:30 The trial of the British and Moroccans in the "DPR" is tantamount to another Russian war crime, UN human rights spokesman Ravin Shamdasani said: "The UN Human Rights Office is concerned that on June 9 the so-called "supreme court" of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Respubliki" sentenced to death three servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but citizens of foreign states, taken prisoner in Mariupol, for being mercenaries, and for trying to seize power in the so-called "republic".

Shamdasani also noted that since 2015, the UN notes that the so-called "judicial power" in the self-proclaimed "republics" does not respect the basic guarantees of a fair trial, such as a public hearing, the independence and impartiality of the court and the right not to be compelled to testify. "Such trials of prisoners of war are tantamount to a war crime. In the case of the death penalty, guarantees of a fair trial are most important," Shamdasani stressed.

19:19 Sanctions against Russia will not be lifted immediately after the cessation of hostilities in Ukraine, the situation needs to be normalized, Scholz said. He also stressed that states seeking to join the European Union should join the anti-Russian sanctions.

19:13 According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in the Slavyansk direction, units of the Russian army are preparing to resume the offensive on Slavyansk, they fired artillery at the areas of the settlement.

According to the US representative, Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin urged his Chinese counterpart not to provide Russia with any material support. At a press conference after the meeting, the Chinese side said that it had not done so anyway. "China has not provided military assistance to Russia.

Then you must be ready to look at it openly, as the Netherlands will."

Podolyak responded to this position: "Freedom, competition, human rights - the Netherlands has always been a model of democracy. Today, Ukrainians pay a terrible price for protecting a free Europe from Russian camps. Have our people paid enough blood yet to get a chance to be in the EU family?"

But this does not happen overnight."

Gebeshtreit recalled the planned deliveries of the Gepard APU, Panzerhaubitze 2000 howitzers, Iris-T anti-aircraft system and Mars multiple launch rocket system. According to him, he understands the impatience, but these issues must be checked and studied very carefully. He stressed that the Ukrainian military is now being trained in Germany to use the Panzerhaubitze 2000. "In this regard, it makes sense that the weapons they are learning on are also in Germany," Seibert added.

15:58 An explosion occurred in the center of Donetsk near Pushilin's administration, a RIA Novosti correspondent reports.

15:47 A land breakthrough of Russian troops through Nikolaev to Odessa is currently impossible, the head of the Nikolaev OVA Vitaly Kim said on the air of Channel 5: "A land breakthrough of Russian troops through Nikolaev to Odessa is impossible. As for the sea coast, the attack is only by amphibious assault forces will not give the desired result, we need help and logistics from land." According to the military, now the Russians do not have such an opportunity.

15:45 Russia is looking for weaknesses in the Ukrainian defense in the Seversky Donets region and does not leave attempts to force the river, said Defense Ministry spokesman Alexander Motuzyanyk. At the same time, he noted that in general, forcing a water obstacle is a very difficult operation.

15:12 Russia is experiencing a shortage of high-precision cruise missiles, so the enemy began to use the Soviet X-22, said the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry Vadym Skibitsky: “We noticed that Russia carries out much less rocket attacks and uses Kh-22 missiles. These are old Soviet-made missiles. 1970s. This indicates that Russia is running out of precision-guided missiles." At the same time, intelligence noted that economic resources would allow the Russian Federation to continue the war at the current pace for another year.
Replacing the modern stuff will be interesting, as will be replacing the old stuff, if they can’t get modern parts.

14:54 Adviser to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Vadim Denisenko, in a commentary to The Guardian, said that Russia wants to use two Britons and a Moroccan sentenced to death for fighting with Russian troops as hostages.

We will continue to help and send a new defense support package."

14:25 Other criteria for determining collaboration will be applied to Ukrainian doctors who remained to work in the occupied territories, Minister of Health Viktor Lyashko said in an interview with UP. According to him, one cannot consider a medical collaborator who simply performs his duties. Also, the fact that medical workers take medicines or gasoline from them cannot be considered cooperation with the occupiers.

"If the occupiers say: we pay you a salary, and you are on the territory of the institution, I, as the Minister of Health, will defend that this is not cooperation with the occupiers. Because doctors have no other choice," Lyashko said.

14:22 After the capture of the Kiev region, the Russians planned to create an occupation administration and organize a pseudo-referendum to proclaim a local republic. All residents were going to be registered and in exchange for Ukrainian documents they would be forced to distribute USSR passports - at least for the first time before the issuance of documents to the Russian Federation. This is evidenced by the data that the military counterintelligence of the SBU received on the positions of the invaders, and also confirms the behavior of the Russians in those parts of Ukraine that are under their occupation.

In particular, in an abandoned house near the town of Makarov, Buchansky district, an enemy cache with blank passports of the former USSR was found. It is noteworthy that these forms were of the Ukrainian type - on behalf of the Ukrainian SSR. Moreover, such a series has not been produced in Ukraine since 1990. Thus, all the forms found were imported from Russia at the beginning of the war.

Plan B, which is being promoted by several countries, stipulates that the conditions are put forward now, and until they are met, Ukraine will be a "candidate for candidates."

13:19 Orban said that Ukraine has the right to defend itself against a Russian invasion, "even if the bookmakers do not give a great chance of winning."

13:11 Lavrov said that Poland is beginning to "actively develop Ukrainian territory."

12:49 Zelensky spoke via video link at the Copenhagen Summit for Democracy and called on democratic countries to support Ukraine not only in words, but also in deeds: "We need to move on to actions, except for words that Ukraine should be part of the European family. In the coming weeks and days, the European Union can take a historic step that will prove that the words about the belonging of the people of Ukraine to the European family are not just words and not empty words.

“Why are there still politicians who are skeptical or hesitant about whether Ukraine should be allowed to join the European Union? Why? Why have the Ukrainian people been told for so long that they should still remain in this gray area between the EU and Russia. Why? If Russia cynically violates literally all the key documents of international law, then why are there still those who hesitate to block any relations with such a state? Zelensky said.

The President recalled that Russia's aggression did not begin on February 24, but in 2014, and during this time Moscow violated more than 400 international treaties and agreements.

12:40 In Odessa and the Odessa region, as of June 10, not a single fact of confirming the presence of a cholera pathogen has been revealed, said Serhiy Bratchuk, speaker of the OVA. According to him, information about the detection of cholera cases, which is massively distributed on the Internet, is fake.

Bratchuk recalled that the presence of the causative agent of cholera is determined not by examination by a doctor for certain symptoms, but exclusively by laboratory and bacteriological analysis.

12:33 Currently, 40 Russian cruise missiles are aimed at Ukraine - these are two submarines and four surface missile carriers. In addition, one large landing ship was recorded on duty at sea, the rest are staying closer to their bases in the occupied Crimea, OK Pivden reported.

11:49 Since February 24, more than half of the population left Nikolaev, Mayor Alexander Senkevich said in an interview with RBC-Ukraine. According to his estimates, out of 480 thousand inhabitants, about 230 thousand remained in the city. Sienkiewicz also assured that the city is ready for a possible enemy attack: “I don’t think anything will change in the near future. The front line has been in place for about a month. It moves back and forth a little, but does not change significantly. They are also digging in near Kherson, they also expect an attack or an offensive by our army."

11:31 The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation announced that the aviation equipment of the Ukrainian Air Force was destroyed by a missile attack on the Dnipro military airfield, and in the Kharkiv region, the production facilities of an enterprise for the restoration of weapons and military equipment of the Ukrainian army.

11:09 Russia will deprive Japan of the right to fish off the Kuril Islands, said Yury Trutnev, representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District.

Moscow hopes that Russian companies will be able to take the place of Japanese fishermen near the southern Kuriles.

10:49 Ukrainian political strategist Mikhail Pogrebinsky has been declared suspected of treason, the Office of the Prosecutor General said. Pogrebinsky is also a defendant in the case against Medvedchuk.

10:46 In Mariupol, as a result of an experiment to restore electricity, a fire broke out at the Satellite plant, which was engaged in the collection and processing of sunflower seeds. The fire destroyed several thousand tons of sunflower seeds. The occupation administration of Mariupol is now trying to hide real losses from the leadership of the Russian Federation, since the destroyed was being prepared for export to Russia, said Petr Andryushchenko, adviser to the mayor of the city.

10:19 In Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine's largest metallurgical plant Arcelor Mittal resumes its work, which stopped in March due to the war, said the head of the Dnepropetrovsk OVA Valentin Reznichenko.

10:02 Podolyak compared "LDNR" with ISIS: "Probably you heard how ISIS terrorists publicly executed people. "Death sentences" in the "courts" of non-existent "LDNR" prove: there is no difference between ISIS and "LDNR". Except one: the latter are supported by Russia for the oil and gas funds of some countries. Russia must be recognized as a sponsor of terrorism."

09:59 The separatist court's "death sentence" against three foreign servicemen of the International Legion grossly violates international law, Amnesty International says.

09:57 At night, the enemy opened fire from a mortar on the territory of the Seredino-Budsky community of the Sumy region, there were no casualties or destruction, said the head of the OVA Dmitry Zhivitsky.

He also said that the entire free part of the Luhansk region is under heavy shelling, and in Severodonetsk there are street battles. At the same time, the Lisichansk-Bakhmut highway remains under the control of Ukraine, and there is no threat of encirclement of Ukrainian troops in the Luhansk region. "Quiet" evacuation, according to Gaidai, is possible only from Lisichansk and the Mountain community, there is also the possibility of bringing humanitarian aid.

09:48 The sanctions Action Plan of the McFaul-Yermak group has already been completed by 45%, Yermak said.

09:35 Macron, following a yesterday's conversation with Zelensky, said that Paris is ready to increase the supply of weapons to Kiev, including heavy weapons.

09:14 There is an "artillery war" in the Donbass, and Ukraine is losing in such a confrontation with Russia, Vadim Skibitsky, deputy head of military intelligence of Ukraine, said in an interview with The Guardian: "Ukraine has one artillery gun for 10-15 Russian artillery pieces."

According to Skibitsky, Ukraine uses 5,000-6,000 artillery shells a day. "We have nearly used up all of our ammunition and are now using standard 155 caliber NATO rounds," he said.

09:10 President of Senegal and Chairman of the African Union Maki Sal after a meeting with Putin last week called on Ukraine to clear the Odessa ports in order to resume grain exports, writes The Guardian. According to him, if the export of wheat from Ukraine does not resume, Africa "will find itself in a situation of very serious famine, which could destabilize the situation on the continent."

Sal said that Putin assured him at the meeting that Russia would not attack Ukraine if the ports were cleared of mines.

08:57 The General Staff announced the approximate losses of the enemy on the morning of June 10. The enemy suffered the greatest losses in the Kharkov and Bakhmut directions.

  • artillery systems - 712 (+1),

  • MLRS - 222 (+9),

08:49 The Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed the base of the Wagnerites in the occupied Luhansk region, said the head of the Luhansk OVA Serhiy Gaidai. The enemy base is located at the local stadium in Kadievka, which the Russians occupied in 2014.

08:38 British intelligence reports that fighting continues in the Severodonetsk region, Russia again controls most of the city, but its troops have made little progress in trying to surround the vast territory from the north and south.

The Russian Federation is struggling to provide basic public services to the population in the occupied territories. Access to safe drinking water has been erratic, while severe disruptions to telephone and Internet services continue. There is likely a severe shortage of medicines in Kherson, and there is a risk of a major cholera outbreak in Mariupol. Isolated cases of cholera have been reported since May.

Ukraine experienced a major cholera epidemic in 1995, and since then there have been small outbreaks, especially along the coast of the Sea of ​​Azov, including Mariupol. Medical services in Mariupol are likely already close to collapse: a large cholera outbreak in Mariupol will further exacerbate the situation, analysts say.

08:33 Blinken condemned the decision of the fictitious "DNR" court to execute three foreigners: "We are seriously concerned about reports of a fictitious trial and sentences against lawful combatants who serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

08:26 The future harvest in Ukraine may be reduced by 35-40% due to the Russian invasion, Deputy Minister of Agricultural Policy Taras Vysotsky told CNN: "We have lost 25% of arable land. In terms of volume, of course, more. We expect the harvest to be approximately 35% less than in previous years, that is, about 30 million tons less, 35-40% less, almost half of last year's harvest."

08:21 The Russians launched a missile attack on the Dnieper region in the morning, previously, no one was injured, said the head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military District, Valentin Reznichenko. He also said that a strong morning fire in the Dnieper was not connected with an enemy attack - the fire occurred at one of the enterprises of the city, the fire was already extinguished by rescuers.

Also at night, the enemy again fired on the Krivoy Rog region, three communities came under fire at once. There is destruction in the Zelenodolsk community, one person received a shrapnel wound. No one was hurt in the Shirokovskaya and Apostolovsky communities.

08:12 The Russians are unsuccessfully trying to establish full control over Severodonetsk, the fighting continues, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports in the morning report . In the Bakhmut direction, the military of the Russian Federation is actively using operational-tactical and army aviation, they tried to conduct assault operations in the direction of the settlements of Nirkovo and Nikolaevka, but withdrew with losses. The enemy is conducting an offensive in the direction of Vozdvizhenka - Rota, has a partial success, is fixed on the occupied lines.

It became known that due to the losses received during the battles with Ukrainian defenders in the Kharkiv region, a motorized rifle unit from the 1st Army Corps of the Russian Federation in full force refused to participate in hostilities.

07:55 Ukraine has launched a pre-trial investigation into the fact that a fake "DPR" court passed the death sentence on British Aiden Aslin and Sean Pinner and Moroccan Brahim Saadoun, who, together with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, defended Mariupol. Venediktova stressed that according to the Geneva Conventions, as prisoners of war, they cannot be held accountable for participating in hostilities.

06:57 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) notes that the Russian Federation has achieved little success in the attack on Slavyansk, but before storming it, it will have to overcome the Seversky Donets. Previous attempts to force the river were unsuccessful, but now it has grown numb. The ISW added that the Russian occupiers continued ground, air and artillery attacks east of Bakhmut.

00:46 France may transfer proximity fuses for Caesar self-propelled guns to Ukraine, Macron said in an interview with Ouest-France.

From the Russian Perspective: Operation on Denazification of Ukraine: operational summary June 10th (updated)
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[NewsFrontInfo] 21:13 The dismantling of Soviet monuments in Ukraine continues. In the city of Kamenetz-Podolsky, Khmelnytsky region, a monument to Soviet tankmen was removed from the pedestal today.

20:45 "In the Nikolaev region, on the bridge, an exchange of prisoners took place. Four of ours against five Ukrainians. To understand where one of the lines of contact is now," -- Yulia Vityazeva

19:29 Air defense worked over Sevastopol.

18:01 In the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine, the military goes to recreation centers every day and writes summons to the military registration and enlistment office right in the pool.

17:08 After a little digging into the Ukrainian documents about CAESAR 155mm self-propelled artillery mounts, we found something extremely interesting: the used 155mm OGR F1 projectile.

The OGR F1 is a 155 mm cluster munition. The concept of this type of weapon involves breaking the main warhead in the air with the release of dozens of smaller submunitions capable of covering a wide area. In the case of OGR, the bomb breaks into 63 small elements.

Due to the extremely high likelihood of harming civilians, cluster shells were banned as a result of the UN convention in Oslo, developed and approved by 46 states, including France, in 2010. The National Commission for the Destruction of Anti-Personnel Mines (CNEMA), operating under the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in 2016 successfully reported on the elimination of all M26 and OGR F1 ammunition.

Thanks to the leaky information security system in Ukraine, it is perfectly clear that the French not only did not destroy the prohibited type of weapons, but also handed it over to Ukrainian servicemen. And those, in turn, "successfully" use them against the civilian population of Donbass.

Well, the icing on the cake: the Armed Forces of Ukraine uses versions of shells with a remote fuse designed to increase the area of ​​destruction of manpower. That is, the Ukrainian armed formations deliberately seek to kill as many civilians in the city as possible. "successfully" use them against the civilian population of Donbass.

16:26 By the decision of the CAA of the city of Berdyansk, in honor of the celebration of the Day of Russia, the following days off and holidays are established:

June 11 - day off

June 12 - holiday - Day of Russia

June 13 - day off

At the same time, the work of the mayor's office of the city of Berdyansk on June 11 and 13 will take place as usual on weekdays.

16:15 Serbia will not join the European Union without recognizing the independence of Kosovo.

This was announced by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

Vučić has already stated that Western countries are moving closer to Kosovo in order to provoke Serbia.

The Serbian leader emphasized that he would pursue a sovereign policy and renounce anti-Russian sanctions.

At the same time, support for European integration among Serbs fell to a record low amid pressure on Belgrade from the West.

16:03 Ukraine repeats the mistakes of fascist Germany. Once the Wehrmacht had already burned the Donbass. How much more direct evidence is needed for the international community to see the repetition of mistakes?

Oh yes, for several years they have been stuffing Ukraine with weapons that are directed against the inhabitants of Donbass. But we all remember how the Nazi aggression ended.

14:17 Nazi ideology in Ukraine begins to be instilled from childhood. Nazi ideology has been nurtured in Ukraine for more than one year. From childhood, Russophobia is brought up in children. As adults, they themselves sincerely believe that genocide against the Russian people is normal.

13:35 Lavrov advised Polish President Duda, who compared Putin to Hitler, to learn the history of his country.

"So far, we see that behind the talk about the inadmissibility of dialogue with Russia, Polish colleagues are beginning to actively develop Ukrainian territory," the minister added.

13:20 In Melitopol, the Melitopol Museum of Local Lore was solemnly opened with the Tricolor raised and the Russian anthem. The director of the museum, Yevgeny Gorlachev, noted the need to recreate the expositions about the revolution, the civil war, the 30s of Soviet history, as well as the creation of an exposition dedicated to the liberation of the city during a special operation in the future.

12:37 The Russian Guard detained three accomplices of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkiv region. The saboteurs found 17 weapons: hunting carbines, machine guns, pistols, as well as grenades and cartridges. In addition, a laptop with data on the activities of the Ukrainian military was found.

12:20 Now, many have begun to report that Ukraine will now face a cholera epidemic, and then epidemics will start to stick like a snowball.

11:40 Briefing by the Russian Defense Ministry on June 10, 2022

- Aviation equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was destroyed at the military airfield of Dnepropetrovsk;
- In the Kharkov region, the production facilities of an enterprise for the restoration of weapons and military equipment were destroyed;
- Air-launched missiles hit 39 targets;
- Air strikes were carried out on 46 objects;
- Two Ukrainian Su-25s and one MiG-29 were shot down over the Kharkiv and Dnepropetrovsk regions;
- Destroyed five Ukrainian UAVs;
- Rocket troops and artillery hit 503 targets.

11:30 The situation in the Nikolaev-Kherson direction as of 11.00 June 10, 2022:

After the failures at the Serpentine
(island)
and the collapse of the defense in the Donbass, the military-political leadership of Ukraine is trying to scratch out a small PR victory at least somewhere. Judging by the number of efforts made and the volume of reinforcements, it was decided to try to recapture the Kherson region, which is preparing by leaps and bounds to join the Russian Federation.

On the eve of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, an attempt was made to advance between Snigirevka and Davydov Brod: the Ingulets River was tried in several places to force units of the 63rd Ombre of the reserve corps. At the same time, there was an attempt to land a tactical landing: four Mi-8 helicopters took part in the raid, supported by two cover helicopters and tactical aviation.

The reconnaissance of the targets was carried out by the Bayraktar and Leleka UAVs: for several days now, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been reconnoitering the situation on the section of the Davydov Brod - Novaya Kakhovka road.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine did not manage to cross the Ingulets and cross to the other side: they worked out the Solntsepek TOS on the advancing units, and the helicopter landing turned around halfway.

The RF Armed Forces continue to hold a bridgehead on the northern bank of the Ingulets in the Velikoye Artakovo-Belaya Krinitsa sector. The Armed Forces of Ukraine mine the approaches and dig in five kilometers to the north at the Kalinovka-Caucasus line.

At the same time, along the entire line of contact, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to mislead the RF Armed Forces and imitate attacks using smoke screens.

Russian troops are building up forces in the Alexandrovka-Posad-Pokrovskoye section, preparing for an offensive on Luparevo. Despite reports from the field about the activation of the RF Armed Forces, the offensive has not yet begun: artillery preparation is underway.

Therefore, the Armed Forces of Ukraine urgently transferred reserves to Mirnoye, Shevchenkove, Novogrigorovka and Galitsinovo. Up to 300 servicemen arrived with 60 pieces of equipment (judging by internal Ukrainian reports). How combat-ready six dozen pieces of equipment is is a big question.

The Kinburn Spit was completely cleared of the DRG of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: the operation was carried out after the boat group of the Ukrainian Navy in the Dnieper estuary was disabled. The technical condition of the Ukrainian landing ship "Yury Olefirenko" is unknown: it was hit on June 6th, and, apparently, the ship was disabled. Otherwise, the cleansing of the Kinburn Spit would have been impossible.

The section Ochakov - Pervomaisky Island - Kinburn Spit is still partially blocked and mined by old Ukrainian barges.

A full-fledged cleansing of the Kinburn Spit makes it possible to transfer cannon and rocket artillery guns to Vasilyevka and Pokrovka for targeted work on Ochakov.

11:22 The main thing from the new briefing of the Russian Defense Ministry:

The Russian Armed Forces with high-precision missiles destroyed the aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force at the Dnepr airfield;

Rocket troops and artillery destroyed more than 350 nationalists and two Grad rocket launchers;

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation destroyed the production facilities of an enterprise for the restoration of weapons and military equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkov region;

Russian air defense systems shot down two Ukrainian aircraft in a day: a Su-25 in the Kharkiv region and a MiG-29 in the Dnepropetrovsk region.

11:14 In Ukraine, a criminal case has been opened against political strategist Mikhail Pogrebinsky, local media write.

'It seems now it's our turn to get our lands back': Smirking Putin threatens Sweden and compares himself to tyrant Peter The Great while issuing chilling threat to Scandinavia
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] “Après moi, le déluge.” And perhaps it won’t wait that long.
  • Vladimir Putin compared himself to Peter the Great in speech to mark 350 years since the birth of the man who founded the Russian Empire

  • He said Peter's wars against the Swedish Empire were not conflicts of conquest, but were in fact 'taking back' territory that was historically Russian

  • Referencing the Battle of Narva in what is modern-day Estonia, he said it has fallen to him to also 'take back and strengthen' historic Russian lands

  • Speech will be viewed as a chilling threat to Baltic States, Sweden and Finland

#5  More lies and ludicrous bullshit from British tabloids aimed at gullible fools who think Russia's still communist.

There is absolutely nothing in the speech that constitutes a "threat," to Sweden or any other nation.

In fact the speech and the Q&A session from which this offhand remark was lifted had nothing at all to do with relations between Russia and the Baltic. It was all about advanced technology development and trade relations with world beyond Europe. The meeting was with young scientists, engineers and technology entrepreneurs, and the questions were about materials science, fiber optics, trade and export opportunities etc.

The particular remark about territory capped a long discussion about the sources of national strength -- technological, military, economic and socio-cultural. Most of it was obvious but European and American leaders who welcome in millions of illiterate, violent, and anti-Semitic third world migrants would do well to ponder these sensible observations.

The English language transcript is here.

Of course the speech would deal with Peter the Great: it took place in Peter's gorgeous city, the most beautiful city north of Venice, in advance of the annual St Petersburg Economic Forum and inside a famous hall in Moscow which contains exhibits dedicated to the extraordinary achievements of this leader.

Peter was a kind of hybrid of Elon Musk and Charlemagne who mastered many of the great technologies of his era. An accurate report of the speech and Q&A session with these young technologists would have highlighted Tsar Peter's concern with technology -- in his day, the emphasis was on shipbuilding, which he learned about by disguising himself as an ordinary worker and apprenticing himself as a carpenter to try to master the craft (and learn the secrets) of Dutch shipbuilding from the ground up.

Here is a fine 3-part Radio Netherlands overview, beginning with "The Carpenter Tsar": how, during his visits to Holland, Peter studied ship-building, city-planning, hydraulic engineering, science, dentistry, anatomy, fortress building and even fashion. And all this resulted in a radical transformation of Russia and Russians, a modern navy and a magnificent new capital Saint Petersburg, complete with canals.

#6  To clarify, the speech occurred in advance of the St Petersburg forum but it took place in Moscow, in the part of the science and technology exhibit hall that's dedicated to Peter's achievements.
Posted by: Peter Timmerman || 06/11/2022 8:13 Comments || Top||

#7  ^ thank you, Timmerman. That's an amazing story.

Peter's 21st century successor is focused on development of hypersonic missiles, which he highlighted in his speech to the young technologists. It's no mystery why the shit tabloids and the British intelligence services try to detract people from this conference and this speech about Russian technology, trade ties with China and the other BRICs, military strength etc. Russia's current leader's understanding of science, technology and economics dwarfs that of any American or European leader (aside from Angela Merkel) of the last 80 years. Hence all the ridiculous bullshit about his declining health.

Here is a video of him speaking. Compare this precise, clear and confident speaker to the blithering of Joseph R. Scheisskopf Jr. and ask yourself again which country's leader is mentally decrepit.

#8  Hallo Gomez -- your link isn't there. No worries; I've seen videos of that speech and many others by Putin. He does indeed speak calmly and clearly about complex historical, technical and economic subjects, with no "ums" or "ahhs" or filler words, in a way that puts to shame western politicians (agree that Merkel is a notable exception).

It's really astonishing how this anodyne little talk has been twisted beyond recognition by the British press.

It's almost as if they want to distract you from the next catastrophic Mariupol-caliber defeat for the Ukrainians, in Severodonetsk...

Cases of desertion are growing among Ukrainian forces suffering "massive losses" in Russia's artillery onslaught, report says


Bethany Dawson 4 hours ago

Ukraine is now facing "massive losses" with Russia overpowering Ukraine's ammunition and artillery store.
There has been a rise in desertion as morale declines, says an intelligence report seen by The Independent.
Ukraine is now dependent on Western donations of supplies, Ukrainian officials say.

#23  I do like "Joseph R. Scheisskopf Jr." for a change of pace insult. But as for the other parts of the sales pitch, your mastery of the English language, western culture and history, and detailed linkages to exclusively pro-Russian stories seem like what it is, PSYOPS. What I enjoy is its investment in this little corner of the ether, it seems overkill unless you know who lurks in our readership. That I find interesting.

Ukraine Slams Biden's Comments on Zelensky Not Heeding Warnings—'Absurd'

Posted by: Black Bart || 06/11/2022 15:39 Comments || Top||

#31  Who's lying? Surely not Honest Joe. Right??

Aides to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have responded to Joe Biden's comment that the Ukrainian president "didn't want to hear" American warnings before Russia's invasion.

Speaking at a Democratic Party fundraiser in Los Angeles on Friday, the president said, "I know a lot of people thought I was maybe exaggerating and Zelensky didn't want to hear it," Biden added.

Zelensky's spokesman Sergei Nikiforov said the Ukrainian leader had "three or four telephone conversations" with Biden before the war started, during which they discussed assessments of the situation in detail.

Nikiforov told Russian-language Ukrainian news outlet LIGA.net, "If you remember, the president of Ukraine called on partners to introduce a package of preventive sanctions in order to encourage Russia to withdraw troops and de-escalate the situation. Here we can already say that our partners 'did not want to hear us,'" Nikiforov said.

Meanwhile, Zelensky's adviser Mikhail Podolyak told the same news outlet that Biden's comments were "not entirely true" and that Kyiv had been "well aware that Russia was developing various expansion scenarios."

No more Big Macs?! The horror, the horror

McDonald's is Back as Russian Economy Rolls On
On Sunday — Russia Day, a patriotic holiday — he will reopen 15 stores, including the former flagship McDonald’s on Moscow’s Pushkin Square, the place where, in 1990, thousands of Soviets famously lined up for a taste of the West. The chain will operate under a still-to-be-disclosed new brand, though the new logo has been unveiled, said to represent a hamburger and French fries.

The hash browns will go by a Russian name, according to a menu leaked to a Russian tabloid. And, since the secret sauce is proprietary, there will be no Big Mac on offer.

Well, they've been telling us for the last three months or so continuously how they were going to cut the country in two and cut off all the Ukrainian soldiers in the west, and now they're degenerating into WW1-style large scale infantry/artillery battles in Severodonesk at the tip of the supposedly to-be-cut-off area.

Or so they said when they gave up on trying to take Kiev.

CDC lifts pre-departure COVID-19 test req. for travelers entering the USA
[YallPolitics] Just in time for the 2023 Elections and the 2000 Rehired Mules. Or is this a way to get around title 42?

#1  Well, new cases have been averaging over 100k per day. Don't throw away your masks just yet! Could be some more 'curve flattening' coming up! /sarc

On the other hand, deaths are a few hundred a day, compared to almost 7,000 in one day, (three weeks after the new POTUS took office).

More importantly, 'serious/critical' has plummeted, falling from 25,000 in late January to 3,100 today. So lifting the requirement is a good step in getting back to normal - the 'new normal'.

#4  Shouldn't directly affect the southern flood -

On Friday, Senator Wicker released the following statement regarding the Administration’s actions:

“I am relieved that the Biden administration has finally seen reason and removed the requirement for pre-departure COVID testing for inbound international travelers. Ending this burdensome requirement is long overdue and something I have been urging for months.”

Honestly, best use I've seen for them paper masks....chicken diapers. So your chickens can tour your house and not leave a mess. Chicken Diapers. Straps go over the wings, mouth part covers the chicken's bunghole.
