The Durak Report September 6, Anno Domini 2026

1. Recent News

1.1. US Army doctor claims 28 troops died from Covid vaccines – Politico

US government investigating 2,544 reported deaths involving the Covid vaccine.

1.3. South Africa rolls out baboon-proof bin

How could I possibly not report this?

1.5. Putin pauses strikes on Kiev

Moscow and Kiev instruct their militaries to hold fire during US negotiator visit. See below:

1.6. Russia attacks military plants and logistics across Ukraine – MOD

Warzone warning, but if true, Ukraine isn't doing too well right now.

1.7. Witkoff tells Putin freed ex-US Marine’s family ‘incredibly indebted to you’

Yea, there's that, but more importantly, see below:

1.8. Kremlin releases details of Putin meeting with Trump envoys

Russia said US came prepared. Talks were good. Attacks have been sharply reduced during the visit, and the delegation is next going to Ukraine.

1.9. Michigan aims to test pay-per-mile road funding system in 2027

So… Make taxes more complicated, and probably not remove the already in place taxes. Great.

1.10. Can you tell if your beef is a product of America?

Who cares? The whole point is to have less American beef and more American cows for a spell.

1.11. Iran's Hormuz leverage wanes as US economic squeeze bites

Reuters finally coming around.

1.12. US carrier Abraham Lincoln departs Thailand after respite visit

Huh. Shore leave in a place that has open prostitution. Huh.

1.13. The Venezuelan billionaire the US investigated for money laundering now has a Pentagon oil deal

Look at that title. Reuters is trash. It's almost there, but it's not.:

2. Extra words for which nobody asked

2.1. Putin shows ‘saint-like patience’ – former US judge

I never put much faith in a "former" anything, and this time is no different. What do you mean that Putin is showing saint-like patience?

Oh, because he hasn't committed to military strikes on NATO weapons plants that are making weapons for Ukraine?

Wow, totally. Ton of patience just to resist attacking NATO. Because that wouldn't go horribly wrong.

2.2. Kiev security service HQ may have been struck by rival agency – Russian diplomat

Wait, so Russia isn't taking responsibility? Why wouldn't they? Could this really be an inter-Ukraine war? Is RT just trying to push Ukraine into some sort of civil war?

Seems like Russia would gloat if they actually hit the place though.

Weird.

2.3. Putin pauses strikes on Kiev

This supports my claim that everyone is ready for this war to end.

Look. Both Ukraine and Russia have zero desire to be involved with an incident while the US is in Russia.

Putin calls for a three day ceasefire, and Ukrainian media outlets report they will hold fire Saturday midnight until Tuesday according to RT.

The US shows up and both sides immediately go, "Woah! let's take a break." Obviously Russia should do the ceasefire since they are hosting a delegation, but Kiev hasn't always responded in kind.

It'll be interesting to see if both sides actually hold fire, or if they are just words.

2.4. Witkoff tells Putin freed ex-US Marine’s family ‘incredibly indebted to you’

So, yes, Putin pardoned an American jailed in Russia for getting drunk and fighting police.

They family wanted to thank Putin, and Putin, according to RT, said to instead thank Trump.

But the crazy thing is, RT said that a Trump Truth Social said "Russia asked for no one in return."

So, more support to my many arguments that Russia wishes to work more with the US. Some may call it sucking up, or whatever, but this is also the way to improve relations.
