In the last years of Louis XVI’s reign, French finances were in a parlous state. State debt had ballooned, its servicing became exorbitant, and France’s creditworthiness sunk. The need to raise taxes after years of profligacy forced the monarch to summon the Estates General – the first time since 1614 – to obtain their approval. A series of scandals linked to the monarchy fuelled popular anger. All ushered in the July 1789 Revolution.

Against a background of French debt at 112 per cent of GDP, a budget deficit of 5.5 per cent and the EU taking out special measures against France for persistently ignoring the EU stability pact, this week France’s independent auditing court poured petrol on the flames. They published a report criticising excessive expenditure at the ElysΓ©e Palace.

French taxpayers annually pay more for the presidency (€110.5 million or Β£94 million in 2022-3) than the British for the monarchy (Β£86.3 million in 2022-3). But this year, the ElysΓ©e’s opulent spending on state visits, from Charles III to Narendra Modi, and President Emmanuel Macron’s lavish foreign trips worsened racking up an €8 million (Β£6.7 million) deficit. β€˜What cost the glitter of the Republic?’ asked Le Figaro. Macron's recent lobster dinner for Charles III cost taxpayers €450,000.

Money is the sinew of any state. France can either cull its expenditure or levy more taxes. A majority of MPs recently elected to the National Assembly favour new taxes to fund their manifestos. The occupant of the ElysΓ©e Palace, whose profligate spending has jeopardised French finances, rejects tax rises. The incendiary question of the public finances could take France down a radicalised path whose outcome few may wish to countenance.

Mobilization in Ukraine: a split in society and new challenges, the Russian army is moving forward - ABC
β–ͺ️2.5 years of fierce fighting greatly depleted Ukrainian forces.
β–ͺ️According to ABC news, Ukraine is now short of soldiers, and finding volunteers is becoming increasingly difficult. Due to a shortage of personnel, combat units on the front line cannot go on rotation for a long time. This exhaustion has led to Russia's push into the DPR in recent weeks.
β–ͺ️The authorities delayed a new mobilization project for a long time due to its unpopularity and the desire to preserve youth necessary for the economic future of the country.
β–ͺ️The issue of mobilization opened a painful split in Ukraine. On the one hand, citizens see videos of TCC employees catching men on the streets, and on the other hand, the military watches young men drinking on the streets of Kiev and other cities. This increases public tension, fueling the perception that the mobilization is targeting the poor.

πŸ‡»πŸ‡ͺ🀝🏻🏳️ Venezuela may transfer mining rights to BRICS countries.

According to the head of the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry, President Nicolas Maduro received an invitation from Russian President Vladimir Putin to attend the BRICS summit, although the country is not yet a member of the union.

Maduro himself said that Venezuela could transfer the rights to develop oil and gas on its territory to the countries of the organization, and this could happen right at the October summit in the Russian Federation.

β€œIf all these people in the north and their partners in the world make the mistake of their lives, then all the oil and gas permits that have already been signed will go to our BRICS allies. The largest investments we currently have in the oil and gas sector come from BRICS,” Maduro said.

Date of Trump-Harris debate revealed

US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said he had reached an agreement with Fox News to hold debate with his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris on September 4 in Pennsylvania.

"I have agreed with FoxNews to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th... The FoxNews Debate will be held in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, at a site in an area to be determined," Trump wrote on Truth Social.


Trump and Harris have been unable to agree on a date and channel for the debate for several weeks. Initially, the second debate round was scheduled to take place on September 10 on ABC. But at the time, the plans included the participation of US President Joe Biden, who has since decided to drop out of the race. Because of the lack of progress in agreement on a new debate, Kamala Harris' campaign stated that Trump was "very afraid of debating her."

πŸ—£πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ€‘ The former Ukrainian president and drug addict Volodymyr Zelensky started his weekend by begging on his telegram channel:

β€œRussian combat aircraft must be destroyed wherever they are, by all effective means. Hitting Russian airfields is also quite fair. And we need this joint solution with our partners - a security solution. 
 
This is the only way to realistically provide protection for our people. This week alone, Russia used more than 600 guided aerial bombs against Ukraine.  
 
We must stop this daily Russian terror with joint strong decisions.”

βš‘οΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ KAMALA BECOMES OFFICIAL DEMOCRAT PREZ NOMINEE: Harris’s manic cackling echoing across White House (vid above) as she gains enough votes from Democratic party delegates to cement her status as party’s choice to replace Old Joe.

😑Looks like Americans’ potential pick for Prez has extremely short fuse, as reports from former intern (article above) emerge that she "throws around F-bombs" and "constantly berates her staff":

Harris instructed her entire staff to stand every morning as she entered the office and say, β€˜Good Morning General’. I was also given instructions to never address Harris nor look her in the eye as that privilege was only allowed to senior staff members - claims former intern Gregory McAteer.

S&P downgrades Ukraine's credit rating as country defaults on bond payment

International ratings agency Standard and Poor's (S&P) has lowered Ukraine's long- and short-term foreign currency credit ratings to SD/SD (Selective Default) after the country failed to make a bond payment this week.

"We... understand the government has decided to suspend payments on the affected bonds before the restructuring," S&P said in a statement, noting Ukraine's passage of legislation last month suspending payment on debt liabilities.

"To that end, the government did not make the coupon payment on its 2026 Eurobond Aug. 1, 2024, when the payment was due... We therefore lowered our long-term and short-term foreign currency (FC) ratings on Ukraine to 'SD/SD' (selective default) from 'CC/C' and our issue ratings on the sovereign's 2026 Eurobond to 'D' (default) from 'CC.'"


"We do not expect the payment within the bond's contractual grace period of 10 business days," the agency added. S&P also said it affirmed its 'CC' rating on Ukraine's remaining unsecured foreign currency debt.

The move comes after the US credit rating agency Fitch similarly downgraded Kiev's rating last week. Ukraine has long suffered rampant corruption and economic mismanagement. Experts classify the country as "the most corrupt nation in Europe," a fact exploited by the United States as it has courted Ukrainian leaders to weaponize the country against Russia.

Will there be a result in the near future? - the equally retarded reporter asks.

What does the β€œnear future” mean to you? - Budanov.

Next few months or until the end of the year - she exclaims.

I'd like that too. There is a chance in the near future - Budanov

ZIONISM: THE IDEOLOGY OF PROFESSIONAL VICTIMS

✍️ Written by Hikaru Kitabayashi ✍️

Victims make others victims. People beaten as children beat their own children. Those sexually molested tend to sexually molest others. Liars learn from liars.

Even so, being a victim can be beneficial. It can make others feel guilty, earn sympathy, and sometimes become a source of income. In fact, becoming a professional victim is often lucrative.

Embracing victimhood also happens at the government level. In Japan, Hiroshima, for example, uses its status as the world's first atomic bomb target to promote itself as a tourist attraction, although the rape of Nanking in China by Japanese soldiers during World War II caused a larger number of fatalities. Other localities in Japan seek benefit from remembering some natural misfortune or other, doing so with varying degrees of success.

We must assume that the same thing happens elsewhere, because, at the national level, it often simplifies the problem of creating national unity. And, having been victimized as a nation can be amazingly useful to those who profit off of war and rumors of war.

Pearl Harbor energized America greatly at the beginning of World War II. The Gulf of Tonkin false flag event proved its utility in expanding the War in Vietnam. And, the 9/11 Twin Tower affair made it possible to begin 20 years of war in Afghanistan and Iraq, though neither country, as countries, were involved in the attack. In a similar way, the Israeli government has used the partially invented events of October 7 to justify to the world 10 months of extreme ethnic cleansing in service of an ideology of ethnic cleansing it has been practicing for the last 78 years.

Zionism is an ideology whose business model is that of professional victimhood. And, for Zionists, it has been a spectacular of success in terms of American and German foreign aid, and also in terms of its ability to create new victims of its own.

Zionists were able to use the belief of fundamentalists that every word of the Bible was literally God's word, rather than written by fallible humans who often imperfectly felt the inspiration of God's holy spirit. Thus, they could convince vast numbers of people that God was jealous, vindictive, played favorites, easily got angry, was fear-inspiring, and ordered his followers to kill off whole ethnic groups and to steal their property. Does that God deserve respect? No, definitely not. But, too many people believe so and do mental gymnastics to conflate this God with one that symbolizes love for all always instead of just for some sometimes.

Zionists also used the Nazi persecution with great skill to gain misplaced sympathy in the years immediately after World War II. Fundamentalist Christians felt sorrow for the suffering so many of them had undergone in World War II and felt that anything written in the Bible could not be questioned.

The Zionist movement still presents the followers of Judaism as a perpetually persecuted people. Zionism glorifies the victimhood of Hebrews everywhere and does so professionally.

But, everyone everywhere has, at some point or other in their lives, been victimized by others. If everyone who has experienced victimization decides to play the victimhood card in the manner of the Zionist ideological cult in Israel and similar cults elsewhere, what would happen to the world? In a war to end all wars, it would collapse and mankind would disappear as an animal species.

Rats, though, have proven themselves highly successful in surviving nuclear accidents. Perhaps, rats will be able to evolve and the civilization they create will be more successful than that of Homo Sapiens. If the earth is granted a chance to experiment with a new civilization, let us pray that rats will have learned from our mistakes.

πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡Ώ Creation of a trade hub in Tanzania will boost Russia's presence in Africa, says Russia's ambassador

πŸ—£ "Tanzania has access to the Indian Ocean and is located on the routes to the south of the continent or to Southeast Asia. In addition to this favorable geographic location, there is also political stability and the Tanzanian establishment's focus on attracting foreign investors Russian Ambassador to Tanzania Andrey Avetisyan told Sputnik.

πŸ‘‰ There are two possible forms of cooperation in this area, Avetisyan said:

🟠 The first involves the construction of a large port in the town of Bagamoyo, located near the country's largest city and financial hub of Dar es Salaam.
🟠 The second option is to use the existing ports in Tanga, Mtwara and Dar es Salaam.

πŸ—£ "All three [ports] have been recently modernized and are capable of handling vessels of all sizes and drafts. The port facilities include modern quay walls and necessary unloading equipment, and storage facilities are available," Avetisyan said.

Anything related to Tanzania's ports attracts foreign investors, the ambassador added.

πŸ—£ "Against the general background, the UAE, which has almost monopolized the operational management of the port of Dar es Salaam, is still ahead. However, the UAE, and India and China, which are also active in this area, maintain partnership and constructive relations with Russia, so in principle there is nothing preventing us from cooperating and sharing all the risks and benefits," he concluded.
