Former-Duma MP Ilya Ponomarev claims 5,000 determined fighters would be enough to seize power in the country.

A former Russian State Duma MP has claimed that he will pressure NATO leaders to assassinate members of President Vladimir Putin's inner circle and overthrow the Russian government, The Times reported on Wednesday.

The British newspaper spoke to Ilya Ponomarev, a self-styled representative of the "Russian resistance." He outlined his plan to submit a document during the 75th NATO summit in Washington next month that justifies the use of force against those close to Putin.

Ponomarev, who lives in exile and claims that some serving Russian MPs are part of his movement, told The Times that the term 'combatant' should cover "government officials who organize or finance the war [with Ukraine], businessmen who produce arms, propaganda warmongers." The targeted assassination of such people on Russian soil would then be legal, he argued.

Supreme Court makes it harder to charge Capitol riot defendants with obstruction, charge Trump faces

The Supreme Court on Friday made it harder to charge Capitol riot defendants with obstruction, a charge used in hundreds of prosecutions and also faced by former President Donald Trump.

The justices ruled 6-3 that the charge of obstructing an official proceeding, enacted in 2002 in response to the financial scandal that brought down Enron Corp., must include proof that defendants tried to tamper with or destroy documents. Only some of the people who violently attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, fall into that category.

The decision could be used as fodder for claims by Trump and his Republican allies that the Justice Department has treated the Capitol riot defendants unfairly.

It's unclear how the court's decision will affect the case against Trump in Washington, although special counsel Jack Smith has said the charges faced by the former president would not be affected.

The high court returned the case of former Pennsylvania police officer Joseph Fischer to a lower court to determine if Fischer can be charged with obstruction. Fischer has been indicted for his role in disrupting Congress' certification of Democrat Joe Biden's 2020 presidential election victory over Trump. Fischer is among about 350 people who have been charged with obstruction. Some pleaded guilty to or were convicted of lesser charges.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the court's opinion, joined by conservative Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas, and by liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Comment: Who is culpable? The Biden administration 'attacks' democracy daily. Included are the 'perceptions it requires' from Jan. 6.

Joe Biden catches a cold

Maybe ninety-seconds into last night's long-awaited debate spectacle, the consensus must have jelled among the woke-and-broken news media mavens that their champion, "Joe Biden," was not quite killing it out there at the podium. CNN moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash acted like witnesses at a ritual sacrifice. And afterward, the CNN post-mortem panel seemed genuinely shocked that months of playing pretend had skidded to such an ignominious finish.

Which raises a great many questions, starting with: why on earth did the Democratic Party and its media handmaidens persist in pretending month-after-month that "Joe Biden" was a fit candidate for another four-year term? Last night, he didn't appear capable of even finishing the current term. Why did they usher him so jauntily into the nomination? And what are they going to do about that now? And what were their motives for all that pretending? "Joe Biden" circulates among scores of astute officials every day. Did they all fail to notice his incapacity? Or has the whole thing been a sham and a lie all along? Was this just the culminating hoax by the Party of Hoaxes of a long string of hoaxes against the nation going back to 2015?

To the question of motives, the answer is obvious: the news networks have worked tirelessly (and with stunning dishonor) to hide their collusion with the government in gaslighting the public. More to the point, they've concealed the appalling truth that the CIA, DARPA, and their many intel blob subsidiaries conducted a silent coup over the USA and have been running our country's affairs disastrously behind the "Joe Biden" façade — and that the coup actually started well before Mr. Trump's 2016 inauguration. You know it, and they know that you know it.

Ukrainian attack on Russian civilians 'terrorism' - RFK Jr.

The US presidential candidate suggested that the incident was an act of war staged by Washington.

The recent Ukrainian attack on Sevastopol using American-made ATACMS missiles was "terrorism" and constituted an act of war by the United States against Russian civilians, US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has said.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the Ukrainian military fired five ATACMS missiles at Crimea on Sunday, each armed with cluster munition warheads. While Russian air defenses managed to destroy four of them, the fifth was damaged and detonated in mid-air above the seaside, raining explosives onto beachgoers. Over 150 people were injured in the attack and at least five were killed, including two children.

Responding to the incident in a post on X on Wednesday, Kennedy noted that the US-supplied ATACMS missile launcher receives targeting data from "a sophisticated system only Americans can operate within Ukraine."

He suggested that the only word to describe Kiev's attack on a civilian beach is 'terrorism' and claimed that the fact that this was done using what are effectively US-operated weapons meant that it was also "an act of war by the US against Russian civilians."

Kennedy stressed:
"Only Congress can legally declare war. They should stop the unaccountable and reckless hawks directing an impaired President Biden."

'Genocidal denial': US House bars use of official Gaza death toll

The US House of Representatives passed an amendment on 27 June barring State Department officials from citing the Gaza Health Ministry's death toll of the ongoing Israeli war on the strip.

The amendment was passed to the State Department's yearly appropriations bill in a bipartisan vote of 269-144.

Sixty-two Democratic lawmakers voted in favor, as well as all but two Republicans.

Palestinian-American representative of the Democratic party, Rashida Tlaib, slammed the amendment in a speech at the House on Wednesday, a day ahead of the vote. Tlaib said the decision was "absolutely unconscionable" and represents a wider trend of dehumanizing Palestinians in the House.

Tiaib said:
"Since 1948... there has been a coordinated effort, especially in this chamber, to dehumanize Palestinians and erase Palestinians from existence. 'Apartheid' Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and in real time, and this amendment is an attempt to hide it ... This is genocide denial."
Citing the now-barred Gaza Health Ministry death toll, she added:
"My colleagues want to prohibit our own US officials from even citing the Palestinian death toll. So let me read it into the record. Here are the latest casualties of Palestinians killed: 37,718 Palestinians, including more than 15,000 Palestinian children and more than 86,377 Palestinians have been injured."
Tel Aviv has repeatedly accused the Gaza Health Ministry of inflating figures for political purposes.

Comment: More details from Press TV:
The amendment initiative was led by Representatives Jared Moskowitz, Josh Gottheimer, Joe Wilson, Mike Lawler, and Carol Miller.

Representative Barbara Lee also voiced her objections on the House floor, noting that:
"The Gaza Health Ministry's data is often the only information available about what is happening on the ground in Gaza. Israel has sealed Gaza's borders barring foreign journalists and others who can offer this reporting. The journalists and medical professionals who are there are unable to account for all of the bodies trapped under rubble and discovered in mass graves."
Best kind of reactionary denial is to not seek nor engage real information? Says a lot about the US government and its conditional bias affecting topics it doesn't like.

President refuses to step aside as he visits a Waffle House post-event.

Joe Biden immediately faced calls to drop out of the presidential race following his catastrophic debate with Donald Trump last night as the 81-year-old stopped off at a Waffle House after delivering a desperate performance in Atlanta.

Biden's campaign spokesperson Lauren Hitt declared early this morning: 'Of course he's not dropping out.'

But a torrent of his own party members and strategists are clamoring for their aged president to throw in the towel off the back of the car-crash debate, with one anonymous Democrat telling NBC it was 'time to talk about an open convention and a new Democratic nominee'.

'Biden is about to face a crescendo of calls to step aside,' one Biden-backing strategist told the New York Times, while another Democrat put it even more flatly to the Washington Post.

Democrats looking to replace Biden after debate 'disaster' - Politico

The party is "panicked" by the US president's performance in his first face-off with Donald Trump, the outlet has reported

The Democrats are actively discussing the possibility of replacing Joe Biden on their ticket for the November 5 election after the US president's "faltering" display in his first debate against Republican rival Donald Trump, Politico has reported.

Hopes among the Democrats that a strong performance by the 81-year-old Biden would ease concerns about his advanced age had turned out to be in vain, the outlet acknowledged on Thursday. "Instead, it [the debate] did the opposite," leaving the party "panicked," Politico said.

Comment: See also: Majority believes Trump beat Biden in TV debate - CNN poll
CNN, citing the findings of a flash poll of 565 registered US voters, reported that 67% believe Trump came out on top in the debate. The other 33% thought Biden had outperformed his rival. The media outlet noted that, prior to the event, 55% of the same group of voters said they expected the Republican to put up a stronger showing, while 45% had more confidence in the incumbent.
33 % is a very strong showing, all considered, and as the article ended:
Another member of the president's team insisted that Biden is "the only person who has ever beaten Donald Trump. He will do it again."
Using the same techniques as last time, anything is possible, but will it be believable?

While it is known that there behind many selected puppets are puppeteers, in the case of Biden it is so thinly veiled that the concept is becoming increasingly clear. Will the puppeteers reveal themselves more in the process of finding a replacement who did not have to bother about being involved in an expensive and exhaustive campaign, but who can be granted the position as Presidential Candidate for the Democrats in a barely veiled coup style fashion? Or is it rather that at this stage, revealed or not, they don't care.

The man who could be president: California Governor Gavin Newsom - who looks like Hollywood's version of commander-in-chief

Amid calls for Joe Biden to step down following his catastrophic performance at the presidential debate, one man has hovered around the edges reminding the Democrats that he is there should the 81-year-old commander in chief fail.

With his Hollywood good looks and perfect wife and family he seems like a president straight out of central casting.

But behind the slick (literally) exterior is a seasoned operator accused of ruining California with woke laws, rising crime and who has a very uncomfortable link to the Trumps.

Macron's brand 'toxic' - Bloomberg

Even close allies of the French president fear aligning with him ahead of snap elections, the outlet has reported

French President Emmanuel Macron's allies could distance themselves from him ahead of snap elections as the leader has become a "toxic brand" due to his waning popularity, Bloomberg has reported, citing sources.

The heads of communication at the Elysee Palace have admitted they have "no polls or data to suggest candidates should publicly align themselves with Macron to retain their seats," the outlet said on Wednesday, citing attendees at an emergency meeting of top French government officials.

Soon after Macron called snap elections earlier this month, dozens of lawmakers who initially supported the French leader now want him to keep a "low profile" as his behavior grows increasingly "erratic," Bloomberg claimed.

Even political heavyweights such as French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire and Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, once Macron's closest allies, are keeping their distance, the outlet stated.

Comment:
1) From the article:
Jordan Bardella, the National Rally leader, recently said that if he becomes prime minister, he will not send troops or long-range missiles to Ukraine, describing any such moves as "very clear red lines."
From the same source, there was and indication of what Macron is determined to do:
25 Jun, 2024 12:23
Macron pledges 'unequivocal' support for UkraineThe upcoming election in France could bring a victory for the far-right, thus upending the country's foreign policy

French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday reassured NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg that Paris is determined to "unequivocally" help Ukraine "in the long term."

Stoltenberg was visiting the French capital in preparation for the NATO summit in Washington next month. According to the military bloc's chief, more support to Ukraine is NATO's "most urgent task."

Macron's reassurance comes as France could soon find itself with a new prime minister who is less supportive of the EU's and NATO's policy of aiding Kiev in its conflict with Russia.

France is heading for legislative elections next week, and if the right-wing National Rally (RN) wins, Macron is expected to offer the job of prime minister to Jordan Bardella, the current RN leader. The RN handed Macron's party a resounding defeat in the European Parliament elections earlier this month.

"Our support for Ukraine remains and will remain constant and we will continue to mobilize to respond to Ukraine's immediate needs, to convey the message of our unequivocal determination to stand alongside the Ukrainians in the long term," Macron said.

His comments came after France's Armed Forces Minister Sebastien Lecornu suggested that the snap elections could affect the country's defense cooperation with its European allies.

"Political formations will be sending out a message: either one of withdrawal, weakening France's position in the world... or a message of clarity," Politico quoted Lecornu as saying during a meeting with his German and Polish counterparts Boris Pistorius and Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz.

The popularity of Macron, who's been one of the staunchest supports of the Ukrainian leadership in its conflict with Russia, has tumbled in recent months. Opinion polls indicating that Macron's party is lagging far behind the RN.

Bardella said on Monday that if he becomes prime minister, he will not send troops or long-range missiles to Ukraine. He described such moves as "very clear red lines."

In February, Macron said he would not rule out the possibility of deploying troops to Ukraine. Last month, the French leader announced that the country's weapons sent to Ukraine, including long-range missiles, could be used to hit targets deep inside Russia.
2) Macron can promise what he does, if one considers: SOTT Focus: Macron Allegedly Considers Adopting Emergency Powers After July 7th Election Results

3) There are indications, Macron has secured support. The British paper, The Telegraph carried this article:
Le Pen victory threatens 'Liz Truss-style' debt crisis in France
Finance minister warns voters over economic impact of backing National Rally party
12 June 2024 - 3:30pm

For now, Germany and France haven't formally endorsed her, but everything indicates Olaf Scholz and Emmanuel Macron — faced with record-low domestic support and massive gains by the AfD and the National Rally — are betting on a second von der Leyen term as a way of securing an "anti-populist" ally in Brussels. "We will build a bastion together with others against the extremes of the Left and Right," von der Leyen stated after the elections — something which Scholz and Macron are desperately in need of.
