Crisis In the Ukraine - Andrei Martyanov, #433

If Baby New Year was conceived at 4:48 AM December 29th (40 Baby New Year's Weeks) under the Texas Heartbeat Act it would have to be aborted by 2:39 PM and 50 seconds December 29th. Unreasonably fast!

Baby New Year's Life (BYNL) = 1/100 Years
Texas Abortion Ban = 6 Weeks (.115 years)
1 Year = 365 Days
Standard Human Gestation = 40 Weeks

.00115 years x 365 days / 1 year = .411 Days
.411 days x 24 hours / day = 9.864 hours for Baby New Year's abortion window

Baby New Years Gestation = 40 weeks x (1/100) = .4 weeks BNY Gestation or 67.2 Hours

January 1st - 67.2 Hours = 4:48 AM December 29th

4:48 AM + 9.864 hours = 2:39 PM and 50 seconds

Douglas Macgregor, a retired US Army Colonel and former Pentagon senior advisor, analyzes the US-Russia standoff in Ukraine; the aftermath of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan; Trump's failure to act on 2016 campaign anti-interventionist rhetoric, only to surround himself with neocons; and the ongoing, overlooked US military occupation of Syria after the decade-long CIA dirty war. 

"The Military Industrial Congressional Complex," Macgregor says, "seems to be more powerful than anyone who occupies the office of the presidency."

Guest: Douglas Macgregor, retired US Army Colonel and former Pentagon senior advisor.

US war lobby fuels conflict in Russia, Ukraine, and Syria: ex-Pentagon advisor

For years corporate media outlets accused Cuba, China, Russia, and other US adversaries of attacking spies and diplomats with hi-tech "pulsed microwave weapons" or "directed-energy weapons."

But now the CIA has admitted that "Havana Syndrome" is not caused by attacks by a foreign hostile power, but rather stress or natural causes.

Benjamin Norton interviews Doctor Robert Bartholomew, a medical sociologist and leading expert on mass hysteria and social panics, explains how he predicted this in his 2020 book "Havana Syndrome: Mass Psychogenic Illness and the Real Story Behind the Embassy Mystery and Hysteria."

Doctor explains CIA's 'Havana Syndrome' conspiracy is mass hysteria - not Russian ray gun attacks

NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, is moving ever closer to Russia’s border. Russia views this as an existential threat – and a historic betrayal of key guarantees it was given by the west as the Soviet Union disintegrated. As Biden sends thousands of additional troops to Eastern Europe, the threat of war is growing by the day.
