UKRAINE IS A TRAP MAYBE AN UNINDENDED ONE BUT MAYBE A DELIBERATE ONE
Conservatives, Patriots, Veterans have been solicited into the cause of Ukraine promoted by Joe Biden who is not a supporter of any of those groups.
At best the trap of Ukraine divides people who would otherwise be united in the ranks of the "Right" or who would otherwise vote Republican in unison across the USA.
At worst Ukraine may actually lure in American Conservatives, Patriots and Veterans into volunteering to fight to end up captured, killed or wounded.
People who folks in Washington DC at the DHS or FBI would consider "Insurrectionists" or "Domestic Terrorists".
It is no joke that "International Terrorists" the kind of people in the jihadist mindset within Islam were recruited and sent to die in Libya and Syria starting back in 2011 by the United States and allied forces including the Gulf Arab kingdoms.
Sending those people to die there meant they would not be hurting the US or the Gulf Arab sheikhs, not to mention Israel.
Have our rulers calculated that "Domestic Terrorists" need to be distracted into deadly traps so they don't threaten the Deep State-Globalist elites of the USA and Europe?
Is Ukraine one such trap?

THE ENERGY MARKET: WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING?
My best sense of it is that Russian oil is out there at lower prices so it will help drive prices down.
You can see this slow decline in the five dollar a gallon prices experienced here in South Central Pennsylvania a month or so ago.
Biden didn't get squat from the Saudis but the plan out there is controlling Russian oil prices to hurt Russia over Ukraine not banning Russian oil from the markets.
It will help keep those pump prices down as we approach Election Day in November here in the USA.

TRUMP CONTINUES TO POINT TO CHINA AS THE COVID CULPRIT AND NANCY PELOSI IS MAKING CHINA AN ENEMY TOO
CHINA IS GETTING THE RUSSIA TREATMENT AND WE KNOW WHAT THAT LED TO
Richard Nixon once suggested the Presidency to Donald Trump and President Nixon also said this way back when as he went into the White House:
"We can't run the world without China"
NIXON AS QUOTED BY THEODORE WHITE-"THE MAKING OF THE PRESIDENT 1968"
An economically vibrant Communist China makes money that in turn is invested in Western nations used to back up the massive debt of the Socialist Welfare States in Europe and the United States etc. etc.
President Trump last night putting a 50 trillion dollar price tag on COVID and saying China is responsible for COVID when he spoke in Arizona.
China is being shook down for money.
Trump also saying how bad Australia was hurt by COVID almost apologizing for the tyranny Down Under.
How much of Australia's current pain was inflicted by the authoritarian route its leaders took to deal with COVID?
But lets get back to China they want us to forget COVID and change the subject to Chinese tyranny not their own (Australia, United Kingdom, United States etc.).
China is getting heat from all sides not just Trump Nancy Pelosi said the other day regarding a Taiwan trip that the military was saying her plane would get shot down by China if she went there.
Paul and Nancy Pelosi must have a lot invested in Taiwan???
China is getting poked around like Russia is folks and everyone is in on it.
And perhaps the end game is China's military action related to Taiwan leading to Western sanctions.
Why not the seizure of Chinese assets in the control of Western nations a transfer of Chinese wealth to help sustain the debt-deep Western nations?
Russian assets already seized.

NEWSDUMP ALERT: MONKEYPOX NEWS THIS WEEKEND
Two major monkeypox developments this weekend.
They haven't given it a "woke" name yet but the stories are this.
US health authorities revealed Friday it was in the Friday news summary on this blog that two children (one infant and one toddler) had tested positive for monkeypox after coming into contact with gay or bisexual men.
In the summary for Sunday coming out after midnight is word from the World Health Organization today that monkeypox is considered an "extraordinary event".

"THE GREAT AMERICAN NOVEL"-LARRY NORMAN
"YOUR LOVE BROKE THROUGH"-PHIL KEAGGY
REMEMBERING 40 YEARS AGO (JULY 1982)
And here I am your Hypochristian host and we just heard some famous pioneers of Contemporary Christian Music like Larry Norman and Phil Keaggy.
I was a drunk hypocrite in the religious subculture and that last song "Your Love Broke Through" finally means a lot more to me since I began bringing sobriety into my life.
"I was lost in a fantasy that blinded me"
Indeed I was but I was in that fantasy while I was in the religious activities in the church etc. etc.
Three guys wrote "Your Love Broke Through" one Todd Fishkind, the other Randy Stonehill and the third Keith Green.
Keith Gordon Green died this week 40 years ago (July 28, 1982) in a plane crash in Texas where he had moved a ministry he started in Southern California called "Last Days Ministries".
Keith a songwriter, a pianist and a singer who decided that Jesus was the way and he was out there reaching the youth segment of the religious subculture I became aware of his music in 1980.
By 1982 I started getting "The Last Days Newsletter" at home there were all kinds of tracts published all kinds of ministry going on both domestically and internationally.
On July 29th one day the after the tragic plane crash I came home from my religious broadcasting job. I did some news there but did not play any music like the kind Keith Green sang it was too wild for my employer.
That would change within five or so years so to hear the Contemporary Christian Music I had to listen to out of town stations like WABS (780 AM) out of the Washington DC area.
On that station I heard about the death of Keith Green. I then went to the newspaper in the living room "The York Dispatch" put eight columns of news on its front page 30 or more stories from here, there and everywhere.
One of the stories the story of the plane crash and the note that one of those killed was Keith Gordon Green...WIKIPEDIA-KEITH GREEN
There were memorial concerts across the country following his passing and I went to the one at the Hersheypark Arena...
And here's a documentary on the life and times of Keith Green...

THE RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL GRAVES OF CANADA: ALWAYS THERE BUT CONVENIENTLY DUG UP IN MAY OF 2021
As Pope Francis comes to Canada on his "penitential" visit to make amends over these residential schools many of which were operated by the Roman Catholic Church I am not going to argue with him.
But I dare to ask why this issue of gravesites known about by someone all of the sudden needed to be known about by everyone?
I say May of 2021 was the time a good time to distract from COVID tyranny in Canada and a good time to create an issue for the Liberal Party of Canada and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to exploit ahead of a General Election.
You can't say what I just said in Canada and I hope to have more to say but that's later.
But yes, let there be no doubt wrongs were done to people by people who called themselves followers of Jesus.
Pope John Paul II visited the church of John Hus the Moravian Protestant murdered by "The Church" during his Papacy among other things and he made his repentance there.
"Cause phonies have come and wrong's been done even killing in Jesus name
And if you've been burned here's what I've learned the Lord's not the one to blame"

FRANCE YELLOW VESTS WEEK 193: LEGISLATORS MOVE ENERGY, PURCHASING POWER LAWS, GASOLINE SUBSIDIES TO INCREASE
(MAINSTREAM MEDIA SOURCES LIKE FRANCE 24, BFM-TV USED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS POST)
YELLOW VESTS MARCH IN PARIS 7/23/2022
A marathon session for lawmakers in France's National Assembly from Thursday into Friday a host of contentious issues on the table.
A compromise reached with less powerful French Senate that will give the government the ability to impose COVID control measures on France's borders.
Last week the National Assembly ditched the notion of vaccine passports and other domestic emergency measures and powers to deal with COVID and ended up gutting all COVID restrictions the government wanted to get some powers back but only got the ability to impose COVID rules on the border.
Energy and purchasing power on the table with energy prices soaring amidst a tightening of energy supplies and fears of a Russian cutoff of natural gas which has not materialized yet.
To the consternation of the Left a majority of lawmakers voting to allow coal-fired power plants to be restarted in France and to speed up development of a facility off the coast to import Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) into the country.
Some government benefits paid out to the French are going to be increased amidst the inflationary pressures with lawmakers approving a four percent increase in benefits including pensions.
The government has told the lawmakers its goal in the coming years is to limit spending increases to an average of .6 percent per year.

"Total" one of major operators of gasoline stations in France, also planning a 20 cents a liter price subsidy of its own in the coming months.

SPECIAL REPORT PANAMA PRICE PROTESTS: POLICE USE TEAR GAS TO OPEN MAJOR HIGHWAY, PROTESTERS BRING BACK BLOCKADE TONIGHT, INDIGENOUS GROUPS STRIKE TOMORROW
(LATEST DEVELOPMENTS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
It's been two weeks since protests began in Panama aimed at the high cost of everything from food to fuel to medicine.
Teachers went on strike at first but other trade unions joined in leading to crowds on streets and highways with roads blocked including the key Panamerican Highway running through the middle of the Isthmus.
Last weekend its appeared that labor union leaders and the government were cutting a deal to end the protests that were impacting the movement of food to Panama City where much of the country's population lives.
The deal would have cut prices some 10 percent but that was not enough to the grassroots protesters and union members so the demonstrations continued this week.
Earlier today police made their move launching tear gas to clear the Santiago Bridge in Veraguas Province some 75 miles outside Panama City. They clashed with demonstrators throwing rocks...VIDEO LINK...
The police said they cleared the highway at another point nearby and are able to move food on a 'humanitarian corridor' to Panama City.
