Ukraine Troubles
Soon Bakhmut will be Artyomovsk. It is reported that the sweeping of the Domino fortified area on the western outskirts of Bakhmut near Yubileynaya Street has been completed. With the loss of Domino, we can say that the Armed Forces of Ukraine actually lost their main positions in the block of high-rise buildings. Prigozhin said that only a few hundred meters in Bakhmut remained under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the liberation of Bakhmut will be officially announced. The area “Airplane” is the last fight. ~ Lord Bebo
The Ministry of Defense of Russia announced the destruction of significant stocks of weapons and ammunition of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Ukrainian military lost significant stocks of ammunition as a result of high-precision strikes by the Russian Armed Forces on the night of May 18.
Earlier, the Ministry of Defense said that the Kinzhal hypersonic missile destroyed 5 launchers and radars of the American Patriot complex in Kyiv on Tuesday. ~ T.Vajrayana
The Biden administration made an accounting error in assessing the value of the military support that the US has given to Ukraine to date, freeing up approximately $3 billion more in aid, an amount likely to mitigate the need for Congress to pass an additional assistance package before the end of the fiscal year in September
The Grayzone has obtained video recordings of well-connected figures within Moldova’s political and business community openly testifying to rank corruption within the country’s government and economy, while outlining schemes to enrich Western investors for an appropriate fee.
This staggering sum follows almost $100 million gifted to Moldova by USAID through the CMKI program between 2017 and 2021, making it the biggest beneficiary.
Evidently, Washington has taken a relaxed attitude toward high-level grift and bribery in Moldova. As long as Western oligarchs and businesses are profiting, and the government toes an anti-Russian line in all matters domestic and foreign, Washington seems content to look the other way.
Yet, the longer the war in Ukraine grinds on, the more probable it is the government will fall – not due to external interference, but because of internal upheaval. The coterie of business figures, well-connected actors and NGO operatives to whom Stanislav Pavlovschi introduced the pranksters – and the Western oligarchs they so eagerly serve – may be wise to line their pockets in Moldova while they still can.
Democrats Scheming to Shush the Whistleblowers?
Should we be more angry at the FBI or at the banks who handed over the records? ~P.R.
Brett Tolman, former U.S. Attorney for the District of Utah, argued that obtaining these bank records without due process was unconstitutional.
For decades after the FBI was caught spying on Martin Luther King, Jr. and abusing its powers for political ends, Democrats emphasized strong constraints on domestic spying and the importance of whistleblowers. Now, Democrats are savaging these former public servants as threats to national security. Why is that?
A former FBI official claimed the bureau denied Boston Field Office agents access to 11,000 hours of U.S. Capitol video footage on January 6 out of fear it would reveal the identities of possible undercover officers and confidential informants present at the riot.
In the weaponization of government hearings today, Chairman Jim Jordan denied Democrats' demand for testimony. Mostly peaceful banter ensued.
The bigger question: what is the motive for obtaining this information.
Top House Republicans are demanding that the Federal Bureau of Investigation be defunded and corrupt agents be indicted and arrested for their alleged violations of U.S. law after this week’s release of the much-anticipated report by Special Counsel John Durham.
There is protection for Whistleblowers!
Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Corporate Whistleblower Protection Law
Section 806 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act protects whistleblowers at covered employers who report to their supervisor or the government conduct that they reasonably believe constitutes wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud, securities fraud, or a violation of any rule or regulation of the SEC, or any provision of Federal law relating to fraud against shareholders.
Then There’s This:
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) promotes her articles of impeachment against President Biden, AG Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and others.
Incompetence personified.

The House will create partner legislation (last yr it was H.R.7858).
