Is this not leading to scandal in The UK (https://sputniknews.com/20220325/report-hunter-biden-helped-secure-millions-for-dod-contractor-working-on-pandemic-causing-research-1094203705.html) according to Sputnik:

Russia's assertion that US President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, helped finance a US military "bioweapons" research program in Ukraine seems to be legit, The Daily Mail reported on Friday.



...they would just agree to it? Are too many British souvenirs in the wrong hands or something??

This misses out the planned invasion & take over of Crimea, they have now found in Kherson unissued medals already prepared for the event.A question: I may be a little slow here, but do you mean the Ukrainian planned invasion and takeover of Crimea (which has been administered by Russia since 2014)? And re the prepared medals, what do the inscriptions say?

That is what they said on Telegram https://t.me/denatofication on March 24th

word for word from that post "Another evidence that Crimea assault was imminent (earlier today - newly cleared passages for tanks in minefields near Crimea (https://t.me/denatofication/1047?comment=2654)): medals "For the capture of Crimea" found in Kherson.

Also a #rumour: The AFU military documents seized today as well as interrogations of prisoners show us that by starting a special operation, the Russian army was able to forestall AFU attack by 5-10 days."

So this was imminent, allegedly, if true I expect more info to come forth.

It would have been another blood bath of ethnic cleansing by the Ukraine Nazis, as the population of Crimea are almost all Russian speaking ethnic Russians.

An interesting update from Russia Today. The significance here is that it's another example of how many countries are distancing themselves from the political polarity of the conflict, looking after their own interests — which is pretty wise and totally understandable.

The US (and much of Europe) is now becoming gradually more and more marginalized. This cartoon, used by Gonzalo Lira as one of his YouTube video thumbnails, says it all.

Hungary's response to Zelensky’s appeal for support

Viktor Orban says his country’s on its own side, after Kiev urges Budapest to choose who it supports in the Ukrainian conflict

https://cdni.rt.com/files/2022.03/xxs/623ef3842030272a891206fe.jpg
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban

“Hungary is on Hungary’s side,” its prime minister, Viktor Orban, said in a statement on Saturday, in response to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s calls for Budapest to quit sitting on the fence in the conflict between Kiev and Moscow.

Orban said that, while his country could not “be indifferent” to the “Russo-Ukrainian war going on in our neighborhood,” Hungary would look after its own interests first, and maintain a “Hungarian point of view.” He went on to stress that Budapest “want[ed] to stay out of this war,” but that this did not preclude it from helping “those in need.”

The statement came in response to Zelensky having urged Orban to choose a side in the conflict. Speaking to EU leaders via video link on Friday, the Ukrainian president thanked the Baltic states, Poland, France, and Germany for their support, but noted that Hungary was still declining to take a stand. He called on Budapest to “decide for yourself who you are with.” Addressing Orban directly, Zelensky asked him if he knew “what’s going on in Mariupol,” referring to the besieged southern port city, which has seen heavy fighting in recent days.

Zelensky reiterated his request that his country’s application to join the EU be swiftly considered, and once again appealed to Hungary in particular not to block the bid.

Unlike the other EU member states bordering Ukraine, Hungary has so far refused to either send weapons to Kiev or let other countries move such shipments through its territory.

Orban has argued that, as around 85% of its gas and over 60% of its oil is imported from Russia, it would not be in Budapest’s best interest to rile Moscow.

In his latest statement, however, the Hungarian prime minister emphasized that “it must be made clear to the Russians that it is not worth pursuing this war,” warning at the same time that Europe should avoid hurting itself “more than the Russians.” He also called on Brussels to provide Hungary with more funding to deal with the influx of Ukrainian refugees.

... from the Saker:

So what could the next phase of the war look like? (http://thesaker.is/one-month-into-the-russian-special-operation-in-the-ukraine/)

Take a look at this Readovka map (as of yesterday):


http://dxczjjuegupb.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Radovka-24-March.jpg


I chose this map because it shows the current “fronts” (the colored squares).
What I added are the following three black areas:
Areas one: central Ukraine including major cities like Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhie, Poltava or Cherkassy. Even Kiev is still connected to that zone (albeit barely).

Area two: Odessa cauldron.

Area three: mini-Banderastan?
Here is the deal, at least as I see it: the Russians cannot deal with these three black zones before they *truly* liberate the red parts of the map. And by “truly” I mean that these regions, towns and cities have to be very substantially (albeit not totally) denazified, a new administration must take over and a semblance of civilization and law and order must be restored.
I also added a red line from roughly Kiev going south and another one, roughly from the south end of the Odessa cauldron in the general direction of Kiev. I made them meet about in the middle. This is purely conceptual. While I am sure that Russian reconnaissance units and Aerospace Forces are present in that area and that the Ukrainians must be trying to hide as best can be, this is NOT land Russia controls or even blocks (too big for that anyway).

You could think of it as a “hotly contested no-man’s land” with fortified areas scattered across it.

For these reasons, I do not currently see the Russians committing major forces towards this move, but as soon as Odessa is not only blocked but fully encircled and the Donbass cauldron collapses, a new major cauldron will form, this time including all the cities I listed above.

Russian Foreign Minister: "All-Out War Has Been Declared Against Russia"
WORLD HAL TURNER 26 MARCH 2022 HITS: 11795

https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/world/russian-foreign-minister-all-out-war-has-been-declared-against-russia

An all-out war has been declared against Russia. The West does not conceal that the goals of its policy are aimed at suffocating and devastating the Russian economy, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Friday.

"Today, a genuine hybrid war, a ‘total war' has been declared against us. This term, which was exploited by Hitler’s Germany, is now pronounced by many European politicians when talking about what they want to do with Russia. The goals are not concealed, they are publicly announced, that is to destroy, devastate, ruin, and suffocate the Russian economy and Russia as a whole," Lavrov stressed.

The foreign minister lashed out at this "sanctions spree", pointing out that it is becoming clear that all values that those in the West have been preaching to Russia, like freedom of expression, a market economy, the sanctity of private property and the presumption of innocence, are not worth a red cent.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 24 launched a special military operation in Ukraine in response to a request for help from the Donbass republics. He said Moscow had no plans for an occupation of Ukraine. After that the United States, the European Union and Britain, as well as a number of other countries said they were imposing sanctions on Russian individuals and legal entities.

Hal Turner Editorial Opinion

I have often told readers of this website and listeners to my radio show how much I admire Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, for his precise language, his level-headedness and maturity, his mental discipline, and his candor. He is a man, I think, worth listening to because in his words can be found the precise position of the Russian Federation.

Today, his words ought to send shivers down the spine. He spoke the words "All-out war has been declared against Russia."

Lavrov is not some talk-show host, or news channel prognosticator; he is the Foreign Minister of the second most powerful nation on earth. Actually, based on their nuclear arsenal, Russia is THE most powerful nation on earth!

His words convey how Russia sees things. And right now, they see that "all-out war has been declared against Russia."

Stop for a moment and think about the implications of what he just said.

When a country sees/believes that "all-out war" is being waged against it, what is that country then obligated by survival instinct, to do? It seems to me the logical answer is: Wage war back.

And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is where this situation is heading. Right now. Today. This minute.

As we sit here at our computers, all snug and comfy at home, sipping our morning coffee, the economic sanctions imposed by the West are literally tearing Russia apart. We sit here reading the news, watching the morning TV shows, or listening to music on the radio, and Russia is being systematically wrecked.

The damage to Russia is real. The effects upon the Russian people, are real.

Yet we see and feel none of it because Russia has not chosen to attack back . . . yet.

I am of the opinion they will. Not just economically, but kinetically.

Now, some of you think "they can't" -- or worse, "they wouldn't dare." That judgment is in error.

I think Russia will attack back because Russia MUST. They are being killed. They must attack back to stop the ongoing attack against them.

So those of us in the West, would be well advised to get our heads out of our collective ass, and see things as they truly are. The west is attacking Russia in a way that is resulting in Russia's destruction. Unless we cease what we're doing, and begin negotiating with Russia for their security, (Which is what Russia sought Diplomatically in December and in January) I believe Russia will have no choice but to attack us back.

They are being destroyed. I truly believe they will destroy us in response.

Stop the Sanctions against Russia now, before it is too late. Return the Foreign Currency Reserves that were "seized/frozen." Return the Gold Bullion which was seized. Return the assets of Russian citizens that have been (and are being) seized.

Stop this Sanctions madness before Russia comes to the decision to PUT a stop to it, by force.

Sure, a nuclear war is a war that no one can win. But Russia is already losing everything. Their only choice is to deprive us of everything as well.

Is that what we want? Over Ukraine???????

I say "no." I say Ukraine is not worth it.

I also say, we in the West brought this trouble upon the world by breaking our promises in the 1990's that NATO "would not move one inch east." We violated that promise time after time until now, NATO countries are right at Russia's front porch.

This mess is OUR doing. We ought to be honorable and undo it. Before it gets undone anyway, through nuclear horror.

It is just reporter-speak rather than the name or function of the medal. So yes, more evidence that attacks were planned in multiple directions.


So far, Belarus has not sent anything in. One would not be surprised that they might want to watch the border closely. As we were told, nearly 300 rats (foreign mercenaries) left Ukraine, but, no more have come in. Although they probably do prefer Polish hotels, sometimes in case of emergency you take the nearest exit. Now maybe the Russian statement is not vacuum sealed, maybe two or three snuk in, but they tend to make statements such as "effectively". When strong arms are shattered, small pockets of resistance do not mean that power has not "effectively" changed. So if not entire platoons barging in, effectively, none of them are arriving.

[Bill Ryan]

Canadian Prepper (Nate Polson) has somehow secured an hour-long interview with Dr Peter Vincent Pry, whose impressive bio is here:

https://emptaskforce.us/index.php/1-pr

Just a small part of that is that he was an Intelligence Officer with the CIA, responsible for analyzing Soviet and Russian nuclear strategy.

I do not specifically recommend Canadian Prepper's videos. He's an over-dramatizing fearmonger, with (in my opinion) limited understanding of quite a few key things. But this presentation by Dr Fry is very interesting because he's a legitimate authority on all things connected with EMP attacks and nuclear exchange. In this video, he explains how Russia's strategic and philosophical approach to the use of nuclear weapons differs markedly from that in the west.

I do not believe nuclear weapons will be deployed by anyone in this conflict. But for those following all the developments, and interested in military strategic planning (and possible outcomes), this video may be worthwhile.

* Do note, however, that Dr Fry has limited knowledge of the actual situation in Ukraine right now, his information supplied only by "Putin's-crazy-and-the-Russians-are-losing" US cable news.

He dares to suggest that it's possible the Ukrainians may not truly be winning, but those are just his own views. Like many American spokespeople, expert or not, he's not aware of what's really happening, or even why, and while he's definitely a weapons hawk, his political views are pretty much those of CNN.

This misses out the planned invasion & take over of Crimea, they have now found in Kherson unissued medals already prepared for the event.A question: I may be a little slow here, but do you mean the Ukrainian planned invasion and takeover of Crimea (which has been administered by Russia since 2014)? And re the prepared medals, what do the inscriptions say?

The medal box says "For taking Crimea"

The certificate has a few lines for the person name, then below it says something like

----------

"By direction of the President of Ukraine,
on "___fields for date to be filled___"
is awarded with a medal
"For taking Crimea"

President of Ukraine V. Zelensky

---------

It kind of looks authentic but who knows :)

A video would have been better, specially if there were several medals found, but i could not find one anywhere

If anyone has seen the Biden Warsaw speech, on a scale from 1 to eating crayons, how much brain damage did you get?

That speech, in my opinion, says it all about what this entire thing means for "America" (the one America that exists separate from the citizens)

Even Mariupol was used, in one of the most shameful lies i have seen so far this past month. Saying that aid is not reaching people in Mariupol because Russia is preventing it, instead of the reality that those people in the US government know very well, is one of the most rotten and despicable things a person can say. It just shows how low and putrid the minds of the US leadership are, there's no hiding it anymore. But i wonder if they realize how they truly look like, and if they even care, the arrogance is beyond anything i have seen before

“For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” Biden said.

Every single line he spoke is verbal diarrhea, that person opens his mouth and a snake crawls out to hiss and divide through shameless lies.

That thing speaking in the name of America? That's not a person anymore, that's all there is to it

[Bill Ryan]

If anyone has seen the Biden Warsaw speech, from 1 to eating crayons, how much brain damage did you get?

That speech, in my opinion, says it all about what this entire thing means for "America" (the one America that exists separate from the citizens)Yes, it's astonishing. :facepalm: And really hard to watch!

There has to be a bigger picture, outlined by several people (including yours truly) in earlier posts. Every single data point suggests that the US wants a major war, even at the severe economic expense of its own people.

And Biden literally can't think for himself (which is self-evident), so that means that his advisers or controllers are all telling him what to say — even if he often mangles his words when complying. It does seem that some experienced voices in the Pentagon are trying to de-escalate the tension a little, so there's an interesting behind-the-scenes push-pull going on in Washington.

What's even more astonishing than Biden's wild remarks is the lockstep, scripted rhetoric in almost all the media in North America and Europe. As Scott Ritter states, this has all the hallmarks of a CIA and MI6-controlled media campaign, aimed at trying to destabilize Putin within Moscow. But what ALSO seems astonishing (once again!) is that they actually seem to believe this is possible and worth aiming for.

The result of all this, with the benefits (if any) to be discussed separately, is that the one-world globalist bloc will be split into two, the larger and more powerful half centered round Russia, China and India.

The US will cease to be THE superpower within a year or so, as the petrodollar fades and dies. Shortages of all kinds will hit North America and Europe, with inflation, major food and fuel supply issues, and increasing unrest in society at every level.

It's all hard to evaluate and predict — this is the fog of a different war — but I fear it's going to be a very rough ride ahead for many people in many 'western' countries.

:flower:

[East Sun]

Why even mention Biden who's not making decisions about anything.
He's a non entity and name that's insignificant. If anyone knows the
controllers behind the scene(we can easily guess) they are saying very little.
I expect that the wheels are still moving steadily and there are plans in
the works.

Waiting for the time when it all flows out and we can get back on track.

Biden and the Democrats are being made to look like fools through mind control, while also going along with their assigned narrative. The ones pulling the strings didn't want the Democrats to win. They actually wanted Trump to win cause they wanted a leader that was tough for what's to come. Biden winning bought us some time. This same source says we need divine assistance more than ever for what's to come. Healing intervention to be brought in for the least among us (Controllers). It can all be undone still.

Peace Makes NBC Host “UNCOMFORTABLE”:

HBtoysjBGZI
NBC host Chuck Todd said the idea of negotiating a peace deal with Russia makes him “uncomfortable,” which shouldn't come as a surprise since the corporate media almost always gets in line 100 percent behind war. He also inquires whether “we” should let Putin and Russia back into the “world order,” as if the international community is merely a clique of the popular kids at school who decided which other nations get to sit with them at lunch.

Read this just a bit ago, very odd, i may be behind a bit on news i suppose, is this news on your side?

https://anna-news.info/the-fierce-fighting-ends-in-mariupol-poland-published-a-map-of-the-division-of-ukraine/


5 Ukraine — Poland

A former member of the Ukrainian Parliament, Ilya Kiva, published a Polish map of the division of Ukraine. He insists that the West plans to divide Ukraine, and Warsaw threatens the territorial integrity of Ukraine. “The map was shown on a Polish TV channel. They showed what we have already spoke about, and what the West is ready to do” — he explained and added that with such actions — the West shows that it is ready to accept the changes of the Ukrainian borders.

The map, seen on the Polish TV channel ’TVP1’, had the Lvov, Ivano-Frankovsk, Volyn, Rovno, and Ternopol regions of Ukraine included in Poland. Chernivtskii region went to Romania. Transcarpathia went to Hungary. Odesa, Nikolaev, Kherson, Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk and Kharkov regions, as well as the LPR and DPR, recognized by Moscow, were given to Russia.

According to the map, only the center and north of Ukraine will remain independent. Seems like Poland declares its own aggressive intentions, and is trying to get the NATO peacekeepers to be deployed in Ukraine in order to gain a foothold in west of Ukraine, and further provoke separatism and the Polish influence in the region.


Can anyone in Poland please confirm if this is true?

Here's another link
https://thenewsglory.com/ex-deputy-of-rada-kiva-showed-a-map-of-the-partition-of-ukraine-by-other-countries/

This would mean that something i read before about NATO not going into Ukraine, but the possibility that a NATO member would do if they need to is not out of 'scope' or something on those lines

So maybe Poland is willing to go and take back the land USSR took from them long ago?

Maybe they'll have a deal with Russia behind scenes so as to each one take their pieces out and don't attack themselves, and that's why Russia is mostly avoiding going into that part of Ukraine, in waiting for Poland to go do their "recovery" job

It would then make sense for this

[Mashika]

US president Biden said on his speech that Mariupol residents were unable to get aid because Russia was blocking it, yet every single video coming out of that city shows the exact same scenario and story: That the Azov army elements kept them as human shields and caused them to sometimes die and sometimes suffer through almost a month with very little water and food, until they started dying or getting killed while trying to leave

This is how it truly looks like, and not the fake care that is being displayed all over the west, but without ever showing any evidence or anything but pre-written statements and false images/videos

This is real people, hurting very badly and suffering tremendous loses, and this is what they have to say, and also why this won't be on any western news channel or website
Wy80W9VBlvQ

ETA: Must add that i don't see any true aid being sent from the west to real civilians in Ukraine, all the "help" they sent is arms and other things, but everything goes to the Azov and other Nazi groups. If there were any real aid for civilians you would see it non-stop all over the news, videos and testimonies and sad kids and such, but there is no such thing because they can't show who they "aid" goes to and what they aid is. This is another thing very few people are questioning, and for sure it has not been displayed all over the world, as they would if they were truly doing it. It's just more fakery

Ukraine War crimes are accumulating very fast

Ukraine artillery shelling against a Humanitarian aid delivery point of the Russian Army in Kharkov. They are targeting civilians on purpose.


Age or gender do not matter to them

And this is something i mentioned on my "Ukraine is a Nazi state" thread, the issue that there are "day and night watch" groups that look into you if they hear you speaking Russian, and then you are in trouble. This was happening way back since 2013 or so

https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses/422


More Ukrainian civilians been discriminated and punished because their mother tongue.


The Twitter account for this channel was deleted by Twitter, as expected, but there's a Telegram channel where the evidence of Ukraine's war crimes is being documented

If anyone has seen the Biden Warsaw speech, on a scale from 1 to eating crayons, how much brain damage did you get?



Periwinkle Blue.

Of course not, I don't let those germs infiltrate my senses, it is really bad for you. I read they were hanging out with the 82nd Airborne, which is my neighbor. Again, the main purpose of this unit is how to take over a destroyed country by psyops, as for example after nuclear attack.

Biden is a lusus naturae best gaffed onto a shrimp trawler.

I appreciate being threatened that he's stealing my income, and that is where our working relationship ends.

Someone in Moscow should open a hotline for western dissidents.

I bet you could get a thousand of them for every Atlanticist that exits Russian government.

Remember, in 1984, our Assistant Principal told us we as civilians would automatically surrender to the Russians! He just did not explain it properly, because, it was supposed to be a warning. The fact that it sounds like a good idea would be my reply to him, but, he wasn't listening.

In this situation, the Money Launderer is perhaps influential to the CIA MI6 tactics and scripting. Something is going on here beyond just PNAC and NATO force projection. Afghan heroin? Maybe. I am not the one who knows or is going to find out. I look forward to every revelation that comes out of this.

The "scale" quote is one of my favorite things I have heard about our public speakers =)

More video of Zelensky regime atrocities against Russian prisoners of war.


I hope this is displayed to the entire world, and i would love to see how the enablers of this explain it in front of the world in a hopefully near future. I guess they will pretend it was a "unique case", despite all the evidence since years ago that this is how things truly are

Things are going to get very serious soon, more than now

People like Zelensky and associates, and the western handlers that enable him, need to pay for these and all other crimes

The soldiers doing these crimes thought they would never face punishment, since they were supported by the US and allies, life doesn't work like that, so now we get to see how they truly operate. There will probably be a lot more evidence coming in the next days/weeks

These are Nazis, make no mistake, these is what the US supports when they go and say these are heroes and sends arms and money to support the quest for "freedom and demo-crazy"

The ugly reality is finally coming out

And for this, and plenty other things, is that i, among many others, gave up our teenage years to go fight against these monsters. This is how 14,000 people died in Donbass while the west governments pretended not to know or that it did not happen as they still do now. This is how it was, how i remember it could happen if you were caught, and this is how it still is today

But Zelensky is going to be on the Oscars, and in other western media events, to talk about how they are so innocent and the victims of this "unprovoked war"

[Mashika]

The idea being seriously floated just now that the entire Donbass make hold a referendum to join Russia as a region.

https://t.me/rian_ru/155867



ЛНР и ДНР вправе провести референдум о вступлении в состав России, если оно не противоречит их конституциям, Москва признала их суверенитет, заявил РИА Новости сенатор Клишас
--
LPR and DPR have the right to hold a referendum on joining Russia, if it does not contradict their constitutions, Moscow recognized their sovereignty, Senator Klishas told RIA Novosti


If this happens and it's formalized, then it would possibly also be true that Poland will go in and take some other parts of Ukraine. As on a previous post with the map Poland posted on a TV channel, this could mean it has all been arranged behind everyone's back and now it's only a matter of time before Poland goes into Ukraine. And this also would make it clear why things have suddenly turned for Russia into not caring about the western part of Ukraine very much and focusing only on the eastern/central part.

<< The western side has been agreed it will be taken by Poland >>

This also necessarily means the US and other western countries involved in this already know and agreed to this plan

* Maybe the idea that Poland, Romania and Russia have agreed to take pieces of Ukraine was not really a conspiracy theory by a crazy opposition ex politician in Ukraine *

Adding more "official" link
"Lugansk People's Republic May Hold Referendum on Joining Russia Soon"
https://sputniknews.com/20220327/lpr-head-says-republic-may-hold-referendum-on-joining-russia-soon-1094232866.html


The LPR militia previously reclaimed most of the territory of the republic, forcing out Ukrainian troops and liberating settlements after an eight-year war waged by Kiev there.

The head of the Lugansk People's Republic, Leonid Pasechnik, stated on Sunday that a referendum on joining Russia may be held in the republic.

"I think that in the near future a referendum will be held on the territory of the republic, in which the people will exercise their absolute constitutional right and express their opinion on joining the Russian Federation", Pasechnik said at a meeting with the press.

Lugansk, as well as Donetsk, proclaimed its independence in 2014, after a violent coup d'etat in Kiev. Both republics held referendums on independence and expressed plans to join Russia, to which the new government in Kiev responded with a military campaign.

As a result of the eight-year-long war in Donbass, over 13,000 people were killed. In February 2022, intensifying shelling by Kiev's troops resulted in mass evacuations from the DPR and LPR. Both republics appealed to Russia, asking for help, and Moscow launched a special operation in Ukraine.

President Vladimir Putin stressed it was started to stop the genocide perpetrated by Kiev's troops, and noted that the goal of the op is the demilitarisation and denazification of Ukraine.

I've been for the past month slavishly downloading footage from independent sources and saving them to the library; I'll do the same with these, as horrible as they are to view, it's important they're documented.

I am not sure how members of the Security Council can prosecute each other. The UN was designed to submerge Germany, which was not on the SC, so that was easy. But if you go after another member, they will just veto things.

If someone within the United States were to make a case against someone else, that would be different. I just really have no idea how the U. S. and Russia accusing each other of crimes can be tried and enforced at all.


One would think that simply by publicity, places like Kazakhstan might wise up to the point where they decide, well, at least we don't want these biowarfare labs any more. That is going to be an awkward position. I would tend to guess that working with Ukranian DNA might be why the modern Israeli population has gotten sick from vaccines.



Trying to replace Russian oil, the seriousness of the U. S. possibly de-listing the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist is evidently strong enough for Israel (https://sputniknews.com/20220327/disappointed-with-us-israel--neighbours-taking-security-matters-into-their-own-hands-analyst-says-1094230624.html) to find American support unreliable:


Israel and its neighbours have already taken a number of steps in that direction. The Jewish state and Egypt have boosted security cooperation. The country's top military brass have visited the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco to coordinate actions, deals have been signed, and equipment has been delivered.

This only works under the presumption that the Security Council still matters :)

Just like some other organizations and the entire UN, could suddenly not matter at all

Do you own a debt if the lender is not around anymore? For example?

What if the judge's words and judgment are worthless? Is his final judgment something someone will care about? Or will he be laughed out of the room, if he can't enforce his rules/judgment no more

The UN and other organisms of "peace" have turned into organism of narrative control and pressure to toe the line. Most countries affected by it are double thinking it, and things are turning into "I don't care what the UN says, because it only says what the US wants it to say"

And the most important thing, probably, "i don't have anything else to lose". Never drive someone to the edge, things can turn around very fast and very unexpectedly

So, once the emperor has no clothes, he can't stop people from laughing

But also look at this article from 25 of March

"Leader of Neonazi Azov Battalion reportedly killed"
https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/w/leader-of-neonazi-azov-battalion-reportedly-killed

He was asked "who did it" and he just said "artillery". He was talking about the civilians that died that day. And that was all he said, basically :)

Check this other article! *had to translate to English first*

https://warnews247.gr/ektakto-marioupoli-telos-sta-cheria-roson-o-dioikitis-tou-tagmatos-azof-epicheirei-na-ton-lintsarei-to-plithos/


The commander of the nationalist Azov Order in Mariupol has been in Russian hands for some time now.

Russian forces managed to capture him alive and take him around the city center before taking him for further interrogation.

During his transfer, a crowd gathered to try to lynch him for the atrocities suffered by dozens of members of his Order.

Residents rushed furiously at him with punches and kicks as soon as they saw that he was now a prisoner.

The Deputy Commander of the 503rd Regiment of Ukrainian Marines, who tried to escape from Mariupol, was also captured with him.

He told Russian military and journalists who had gathered at the site that his unit no longer existed.


This is not true, if he died as in the other news, he could not have said this. And we know now that this other video with the beating is not the guy :)

Why are people on those sites trying to portray that guy as the Azov leader? This second site even made up the beating scene into a completely different thing just to fill in the narrative :ROFL::sherlock::sherlock::sherlock:

Here's a comprehensive update, posted as a long comment (http://thesaker.is/open-thread-6/#comment-1053583) on The Saker's site. (I've NOT embedded the videos and tweets, but they're all right there to be viewed by anyone who's interested in the documented detail.)

~~~

Quick update for only the few big/important developments of today:

1. Large surrenders around Kiev. 70++ many officers including confirmed (based on patch on uniform) Lieutenant Colonel https://www.bitchute.com/video/GRckno5YljHY/ They ran out of food/fuel/water and surrendered.

2. By far the most important advances/gains for RF forces have been around Izyum. Though a small part of south Izyum (south of the river) is still controlled by Ukrops, Russia has wheeled around them and pushed south and captured Kamyanka and is assaulting Sukha.

https://twitter.com/GeromanAT/status/1507764883860897804

If you look on a map this is already a bit of a distance towards Slavyansk. There are videos of Russia utilizing TOS1 thermobaric with massive barrages in this region, the earth is pockmarked to hell and Ukies here have taken MASSIVE losses because they recognize the juncture here as extremely strategically important to their backlines and rearguard/supply. They are fighting with all their might for this space.

You can see videos here of the TOS1 barrage
https://twitter.com/Levi_godman/status/1507810935716696070
https://twitter.com/Levi_godman/status/1507811009880334344

There are also satellite photos of hugely cratered and pockmarked fields. This area is a real meatgrinder and Ukies have taken their largest losses of the past week here.
Also Russia has numerous pontoon bridges in the area where forces are pouring into
https://twitter.com/hengenahm/status/1507816865598476298
https://twitter.com/JackDetsch/status/1507779212660420612
https://twitter.com/JackDetsch/status/1507778623935295490

Also there continues to be reports of Russian attacks as far SW of Izyum as Barvinkove so there’s definitely some type of advanced force operating in that area. This area’s of utmost importance as it’s one of the main resupply corridors for the Ukie cauldron and Russia now controls the crux of the junction here, stifling the Ukie battle group while continuous air strikes to the rear supplies around Kramatorsk drain the very last of Ukie fuel/lubricants/reserve armor.

3. Russia has completely taken the town of Slavutych

https://twitter.com/RWApodcast/status/1507667161350909956

There’s videos of RF troops there but I won’t bother posting every little clip and clog up the report. The town is taken and RF forces have already negotiated with the mayor and staff for incorporation with civil/military administration of RF forces.

More importantly however, the city of Chernuhiv has been cut off. It was one of the cities left alone in the rearguard after RF forces initially stormed towards Kiev and simply bypassed many medium sized cities. It is a city of importance and now it is completely cut off on all its major axes. (Slavutych is on the outskirts of this city and thus has facilitated the aforementioned)

Incidentally, other reports indicate that more RF forces have begun to pour in from the north (Belarus) down towards the Kiev and Chernuhiv regions to continue fortifying positions here.

4. Mariupol is winding down to the last few quarters. Azov is being exterminated and we have daily reports/videos now of their top staff fleeing desperately dressed as civilians. Here’s a high ranking ‘commander’ that was captured today trying to sneak out:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/gEzMlvwq3Sog (https://www.bitchute.com/video/gEzMlvwq3Sog/)

full exposé:
https://zen.yandex.ru/video/watch/623f4bb54350ba1f01ada39f

Lastly as everyone has heard, Russia sent a big statement to the U.S. today. Literally as Biden was giving his speech in Rezsnow Poland on the border of Ukraine, Russia struck a powerful series of blows via Kh-101 missiles onto fuel depots in Lyviv on the border of Poland, a mere 80-90miles away from Biden’s “live speech”.

In fact so close that you could likely see the giant columns of black smoke from where Biden was stationed. If that’s not a “statement” then I don’t know what is. Further confirmations now assert that Russia struck another depot/city in Dubno not far away as well.

The deputy chief of staff of the Ukrainian 503 separate battalion of marines tried to leave Mariupol. After an unsuccessful attempt, he reported that the remnants of the battalion were divided into groups and were trying to get out of the encirclement.

"West accused of double standards on Ukraine"
https://www.rt.com/news/552789-ukraine-qatar-saudi-arabia/


Qatar and Saudi Arabia have shamed the West for paying more attention to the war in Ukraine than to events in the Middle East




“The humanitarian suffering that we have seen in Ukraine … has been the suffering of a lot of countries in this region for years, and nothing happened,” Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani said during roundtable talks at the annual Doha Forum on Saturday.

He reminded delegates of “the brutality against the Syrian people, or against the Palestinians, or against the Libyans, or against the Iraqis, or against the Afghans,” and said that, in his view, “we have never seen a global response to address those sufferings.”


All of those caused/supported by the US in one way or another, what a way to throw a giant rock into the US's head. I bet it hurt getting hit by that one lol

[mizo]

I won't post the link, from twitter I've seen there's quite a lot of tweets showing video clips- of soldiers shooting their prisoners in the back of the legs -supposedly Ukraine soldiers wounding and incapacitating the Russians.


It's all so barbaric! So much for Geneva Convention and The Treatment of Prisoners of War.

It's the Ukranians doing that, they then let the Russian POWs bleed to death in agony, while they laugh & mock them.

UK Column news from Friday, March 25th broadcast.

There's a very good segment on the Vovan & Lexus prank call, and the UK Secretary of State for Defence Ben Wallace's spectacular intelligence own goals. On a more serious note the suggestion that UK naval manoeuvres are on the table for Black Sea operations to provoke and engage Russia, at some stage, should have all of us gravely concerned.

If anyone has seen the Biden Warsaw speech, from 1 to eating crayons, how much brain damage did you get?

That speech, in my opinion, says it all about what this entire thing means for "America" (the one America that exists separate from the citizens)Yes, it's astonishing. :facepalm: And really hard to watch!

There has to be a bigger picture, outlined by several people (including yours truly) in earlier posts. Every single data point suggests that the US wants a major war, even at the severe economic expense of its own people.

And Biden literally can't think for himself (which is self-evident), so that means that his advisers or controllers are all telling him what to say — even if he often mangles his words when complying. It does seem that some experienced voices in the Pentagon are trying to de-escalate the tension a little, so there's an interesting behind-the-scenes push-pull going on in Washington.

What's even more astonishing than Biden's wild remarks is the lockstep, scripted rhetoric in almost all the media in North America and Europe. As Scott Ritter states, this has all the hallmarks of a CIA and MI6-controlled media campaign, aimed at trying to destabilize Putin within Moscow. But what ALSO seems astonishing (once again!) is that they actually seem to believe this is possible and worth aiming for.

The result of all this, with the benefits (if any) to be discussed separately, is that the one-world globalist bloc will be split into two, the larger and more powerful half centered round Russia, China and India.

The US will cease to be THE superpower within a year or so, as the petrodollar fades and dies. Shortages of all kinds will hit North America and Europe, with inflation, major food and fuel supply issues, and increasing unrest in society at every level.

It's all hard to evaluate and predict — this is the fog of a different war — but I fear it's going to be a very rough ride ahead for many people in many 'western' countries.

Read this just a bit ago, very odd, i may be behind a bit on news i suppose, is this news on your side?

https://anna-news.info/the-fierce-fighting-ends-in-mariupol-poland-published-a-map-of-the-division-of-ukraine/


5 Ukraine — Poland

A former member of the Ukrainian Parliament, Ilya Kiva, published a Polish map of the division of Ukraine. He insists that the West plans to divide Ukraine, and Warsaw threatens the territorial integrity of Ukraine. “The map was shown on a Polish TV channel. They showed what we have already spoke about, and what the West is ready to do” — he explained and added that with such actions — the West shows that it is ready to accept the changes of the Ukrainian borders.

The map, seen on the Polish TV channel ’TVP1’, had the Lvov, Ivano-Frankovsk, Volyn, Rovno, and Ternopol regions of Ukraine included in Poland. Chernivtskii region went to Romania. Transcarpathia went to Hungary. Odesa, Nikolaev, Kherson, Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk and Kharkov regions, as well as the LPR and DPR, recognized by Moscow, were given to Russia.

According to the map, only the center and north of Ukraine will remain independent. Seems like Poland declares its own aggressive intentions, and is trying to get the NATO peacekeepers to be deployed in Ukraine in order to gain a foothold in west of Ukraine, and further provoke separatism and the Polish influence in the region.


Can anyone in Poland please confirm if this is true?

Here's another link

This would mean that something i read before about NATO not going into Ukraine, but the possibility that a NATO member would do if they need to is not out of 'scope' or something on those lines

So maybe Poland is willing to go and take back the land USSR took from them long ago?

Maybe they'll have a deal with Russia behind scenes so as to each one take their pieces out and don't attack themselves, and that's why Russia is mostly avoiding going into that part of Ukraine, in waiting for Poland to go do their "recovery" job

It would then make sense for this

Serbia will not join NATO because it well remembers what the alliance did to the country back in 1999, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Sunday.

"I tell you: we will not join NATO. We will not join NATO because we cannot forget what they did to our country. We want to defend our freedom, our sky and our land on our own," he said at a campaign rally in the city of Bor.
March 24 marked 23 years since the beginning of NATO’s aggression against Yugoslavia, which started on March 24, 1999 and lasted for 78 days.

The alliance’s leadership argued that the main reason for the operation codenamed Allied Force was prevention of genocide of Kosovo’s Albanians. According to NATO’s sources its aircraft flew 38,000 sorties and carried out 10,000 bombing strikes.

The bombardments killed, according to different estimates, from 3,500 to 4,000 people, and left about 10,000 others (two-thirds of them civilians) injured. The material damage totaled $100 billion. During the three months of bombardments NATO forces dropped on Serbia 15 tonnes of depleted uranium in bombs and shells. After that the country’s cancer rates surged to first place in Europe.

In the first ten years following the bombardments about 30,000 developed cancer and an estimated 10,000-18,000 of them died.

THERE WAS VIDEO OF ONE OF THE THE LEADERS OF THE AZOV BATTALION GETTING ARRESTED

It is epic video which clearly shows the hatred the Ukranian people have for this guy.

This is the guy that gave the orders to murder people who were trying to flee Mariupol and elsewhere, in addition to giving Ukranian forces explicit instructions to set up in hospitals and apartments and fight the battles from them while they were full of "human shields", in addition to tying men to trees with 10 rounds of ammo to shoot at the Russians as they approached because the people would normally not do that because they hated him so much.

This video clearly shows how they felt about it.

A concise chronology of Ukraine biolabs development, offered by María Zakharova on The Saker.

http://thesaker.is/opinion-by-maria-zakharova-biobiden

~~~

We can get a rough idea of the US political elites’ involvement in the military biological activity in Ukraine if we rely on open sources as well as leaked documents. Below is an attempt to reconstruct the chronology of this involvement, though not a comprehensive one. There are many gaps in this truly diabolical plan that are still to be filled.


1991 – the US launches the Nunn-Lugar programme for the former Soviet countries to control/eliminate Soviet weapons of mass destruction including bioweapons. The Pentagon’s Defence Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) was named as the programme’s main executor.
1993 – the Ukraine-US Agreement on the Prevention of Proliferation of WMD is signed.
2005 – an additional protocol is signed to the agreement between the Ukrainian Health Ministry and the DTRA on the prevention of the proliferation of technologies, pathogens and know-how that can be used to develop bioweapons. This is the start of the transfer of the Ukrainian military biological potential into US specialists’ hands.
2000s – large US military-industrial companies are engaged in military biological activity in Ukraine.
2005-2014 – Black & Veatch Special Projects, a DTRA contractor, builds and upgrades 8 biolabs in Ukraine instead of eliminating military biological infrastructure, as was originally claimed. One of the facilities, a biolab in Odessa, has been financed since 2011 for the study of “pathogens that can be used in bioterrorism attacks.”
2007 – US DoD employee Nathan Wolfe founded Global Viral Forecasting Institute (subsequently – Global Viral), a biomedical company. The mission stated in the charter is non-commercial study of transborder infections, including in China.
2009 – Rosemont Seneca Partners is established by former US Secretary of State John Kerry's stepson Christopher Heinz and incumbent US President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden
2014 – anti-constitutional coup d’etat in Ukraine.
2014 – Hunter Biden joins the Board of Directors of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy company.
2014 – Metabiota, a private commercial organisation specialising in the study of pandemic risks is detached from Global Viral. Neil Callahan and John DeLoche, employees of Hunter Biden’s company Rosemont Seneca Partners are appointed to the board of Metabiota. Global Viral and Metabiota begin to get funding from the US Department of Defence.
2014 – Metabiota shows interest in Ukraine and invites Hunter Biden to “assert Ukraine’s cultural & economic independence from Russia”
2014 – Metabiota and Burisma Holdings begin cooperation on an unnamed “science project in Ukraine”.
2014 – Metabiota, Global Viral and Black & Veatch Special Projects begin full-fledged cooperation within the US DoD programmes.
2014-2016 – Implementation of Metabiota and US DoD contracts, including a $300,000 project in Ukraine.
2016 – US citizen Ulana Nadia Suprun, a descendant of Ukrainian Nazis, is appointed Acting Health Minister of Ukraine. The US DoD and Ukraine’s Health Ministry cooperation programme is greatly expanded.
2016 – an outbreak of swine flu among Ukrainian Defence Ministry personnel guarding a biolab in Kharkov, Ukraine; 20 dead. The incident is hushed up.
2016 – former US Assistant Secretary for Defence Andrew Weber is appointed head of Metabiota’s global partnerships department.
2016 – EcoHealth Alliance, a Global Viral founder Nathan Wolfe’s structure, is engaged in the study of bat-transmitted coronaviruses at the research centre in a Wuhan laboratory, China.
2016 – the DTRA and Ukraine’s Health Ministry extend the contract after getting approval from the Ukrainian Defence Ministry.
2019 – the COVID-19 mutated bat coronavirus pandemic begins with an outbreak in Wuhan.
February 24, 2022 – launch of the Russian Army’s special operation in Ukraine.
February 24-25, 2022 – rapid elimination of strains in biolabs in Ukraine.
March 8, 2022 – US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland openly acknowledges the existence of cooperation between the US and Ukraine in pathogens.

I don't believe any formal statement has been made by the Russian Ministry of Defence (please update this if I'm incorrect!), but a communications satellite has just been launched by the Russians apparently featuring the letter 'Z' on the booster.

Here's a video, released by the Russian Ministry of Defense itself. The captions are by NBC News in the US.

This only works under the presumption that the Security Council still matters :)

Just like some other organizations and the entire UN, could suddenly not matter at all

Do you own a debt if the lender is not around anymore? For example?



Exactly.

"International Law" is a thing that could not have any other enforcement than One World Government, which the U. N. is a step shy from. The closest thing is the Treaties, which of course allows member nations to violate them at will.

About all that can be achieved is ultimatums. Such as "when you cross the line out of Poland, I will destroy you". Everyone can sit in the meeting and apprise themselves, while reviewing the fact that violated treaties have basically just been discarded.

Former president Bush is "under arrest" in Malaysia, which sounds fair, but nothing ever happens. The issue of jurisdiction is a very difficult political issue. I will never agree that One World Government is the answer. I don't have one. There are really just treaties and information about whether they worked.

The availability of information about this, has really changed the scene from World War II when nobody could really get anything other than official political statements. These days I do not know why an English speaker would presume me to be ignorant just because I cannot really speak Greek. My best suggestion for any amongst the leadership and choir of the press in terms of "remaining intact" in the near future is to shift the blame of their ignorance. That means it would have to be pinned down on a few people whose fault it is. CNN can get off the hook if they blame some spokesperson, who blames some politician, who turns around and blames a committee member, and then you find a conflict of interest by having investments and companies and so forth. This way a few idiots can still have jobs while at least some of the actual problems are confronted. If not, if the whole wall of lies chooses to move as one unit, then the whole thing might find itself essentially unemployed.

Yes, those are like some of her easy talking points. A lot of it is going to come out in military and legal processes which we will not be involved with. What we are doing is an influence on Reputation. Well, it is still the same textbook principle that we got from Josef Goebbels:


The Big Lie


Except instead of sticking to him, we are able to trace how it runs far backwards through time, and then through the future until now. It is not necessarily German or American or any specific kind of nationalism, because it is more like international anti-Russianism. Any wealth resource and any population is to be used unremittingly for the task.


So this Lie has this anti- value which is undesirable, while having its proactive guises such as Capitalism and Democracy.



Welcome to the reanimated remains of your heritage:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/25/Fabian_Society_coat_of_arms.svg/568px-Fabian_Society_coat_of_arms.svg.png





It is not particularly hard to identify what is at work here. This is where I drew the line with my parents. They were heavy critics of the system saying how a lot of things should be done differently. I tried to tell them that it actually was the system itself that was objectionable. They quit listening to me. Here comes a lifetime of evidence in the face of those who failed to admit it was a Lie.

Multiple Slow Kill military tactics have been distributed interior to the west for a long time, while a Hard Kill method has been attempted to be hidden in places we don't directly see.



From one of the replies:


The etiological agent of swine flu is an influenza virus, H1N1, very similar to the etiologic agent of the 1919-1920 Spanish flu (H1N1) which killed 20-40 million people, and the 2009 H1N1 swine flu so-called “pandemic”. The Spanish flu originated, as you might have guessed from its name in… Kansas. African swine fever (ASF) is different. It is a highly contagious swine hemorrhagic disease and the mortality rate in swine can reach 100%. ASF used to be restricted to sub-Saharan Africa. Strangely enough, an ASF outbreak occurred for the first time in Cuba, in 1971. 500,000 pigs were culled to limit the epidemic. The United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization called it the “most alarming event” of 1971. We now know that the ASF virus was introduced in Cuba by saboteurs on the CIA payroll. Talk about playing sorcerer’s apprentice. Fast forward to 2018, in China. A major ASF epidemic hit the country’s swine industry. 150-200 million pigs were culled. It was the first ever occurrence of ASF in China. When you start looking at the number of new diseases that have hit China over the last 3-4 years; at least two outbreaks of bird flu, two for swine flu, repeated outbreaks of ASF, repeated outbreaks of COVID-19, it raises a few red flags. They cannot simply be “random events”. Too many of those. Add to these, different SARS-CoV-2 variants in Iran in 2020.



Again, recently around here, one of the states just exterminated almost a 100,000 birds for having the flu. All of these animals perhaps do contain material evidence which is an odd match to the various types of research. So to err on the side of caution, it sounds like American or British medical assistance is the last thing you need if you want to live. As far as I know, the Lie has always operated hugely within the medical community from its very early days of trying to exclude everything besides surgery and drugs.

These are not some minor fixable criticisms as my parents seemed to think, it is the entire political apparatus, the entire medical system, and so on, which always has been so by way of design.

How can you separate this from global geopolitics? It would take quite a bit of effort. We say this Economics is the school of Genocide, by way of being the science of moving it down the street so you don't see it, such as:


On March 27, a woman’s corpse was found with traces of torture and a swastika on her stomach.

The DPR forces found the body in the basement of Mariupol school No. 25, which was used by Ukrainian nationalists as a stronghold. The woman’s arm was torn off. She was tortured with a bag over her head.

A little "remoulding work" courtesy of the LSE.

Removal of an arm is just a "trace" of improper treatment. Normally, Ukranians just trade wheat and coal amongst themselves, they are too poor to afford a bag to put on someone's head. This level of operations requires the assistance of a Rothschild-type bank.

TzR---YDDIQ:bump:

Just finished listening now (go easy on me! It was an hour and three-quarters) — and it was a masterclass. The YouTube comments were glowing even more than usual. One said:
Listening to this podcast is the equivalent to going to university and majoring in modern history without paying any tuition fees.
If pushed for time, one could probably start in after about 20 minutes or so. It steadily builds from there. He makes a few generalized remarks about women that I'd contest are very arguable, but that's just his own personal style and doesn't detract from the history lesson at all — much of which is about the irrational hatred of Russia among a certain group of American politicians, and their unflinching intention to destroy Russia by any means possible.

He also states that a wholescale Ukrainain invasion of Donbass and Crimea was planned for this month (March), and that Putin, who was well aware of this, beat them to the punch. (This is of course why so many Ukrainian troops were amassed in the east of the country, but now fully surrounded by Russian forces.)

And again, he makes the case for a Victoria-Nuland-orchestrated False Flag incident which would bring NATO into the conflict, which he stated yesterday he believes is probably planned for the end of this coming week. My personal opinion (as it is about any nuclear exchange) is that this will not happen — but it's certainly not impossible, and the next week (or maybe even two) may be very critical in all kinds of ways.

I love you Malisa for this quote and your comment. Only in 2005, in Belgium (that South Corea part carved out, in 1830, of the reunited Low Countries by the already-then-active AngloSaxon Mission), I learnt from a Serbian student of mine what NATO had done in Serbia. We had a few conversations about it before it sank in. At first I considered her story to be "the view from the other side" in the conflict, being biased by definition so to speak. It was only when she told me about the depleted uranium ammunition that I understood, because I was following closely what was happening in Iraq and I knew what depleted uranium was doing there. Only later did I learn about the rationale for it all (energy transport geopolitics)).

A short while ago I alerted my correspondents: “the Internal Court of Justice at The Hague has found Serbian president Milosevic – "the barbarian, the mass-murderer” – innocent on all counts!” – posthumously, admittedly, because he died in prison. No reaction. People had just forgotten him, probably also because they did not meet a Serbian student who felt them worthy (i.e. open) enough to explain the details to them.

It is my opinion (which I have also told everyone) that every citizen of the European Union at the time of the dismemberment of Yugoslavia should pay indemnities to all the people killed and injured in that war as well as to their families.

This is the "pure conspiracy" viewpoint as discussed on "fringe" forums overall as a gathering of the small talk as hyperbole not taken seriously by any party but continuously being propagandized as the "truth".

Meaning it's pure bull****.

No way of telling , you could be correct or wrong .

The content looks pretty much truthful to me.

The signature is a bit correct, but i think that was picked up from some other document

Vladimir Putin will never sign something and put his name like that, is not correct

He uses this form, is the standard and official one

В.Нутин

He would never sign any official or public statement with his full name like that, that's just not right at all

And under the signature it says "ladimir" the V got cut off but the l is aligned correctly with the text above? :p :ROFL:

Also think about this, where was this posted originally? He would have made an official TV statement of some kind, or post it on the official president's website. Everything Putin signs is recorded on the official logs

Is Moscow changing its strategy in Ukraine?

Russia has not been able to capture any major Ukrainian city. More than a month after it first invaded its neighbor, in the past few days, several western reports have been doing rounds that Russia has changed its strategy in Ukraine.

“Closer to our hearts!”

“Sarcasm” comes from the Greek sarks, "flesh, meat" – and the verb sarkadzein, the direct originator of "sarcasm", means a dog’s tearing-off of flesh from the bone of a killed animal, thereby flashing its teeth — and hence the snarler’s baring of his upper lip, stiff or supple...

Torture, as shown here, is another word for the same thing, when the animal is not yet dead.

[shaberon]

much of which is about the irrational hatred of Russia among a certain group of American politicians, and their unflinching intention to destroy Russia by any means possible.




This is a point that is hard to fathom. The American does not even have any plausible historical context to hate Russia. A Briton does even if it was just force fed to them. Why does the American take the British strategy when it was that country he revolted against in the first place?


We try to keep in mind that the UK does not represent English or any other ethnic nationalism like the Bolshevik was not really Russian. The main meaning of "United" is found in the title of "James VI and I" when there were some innovative religious ideas coming up:


According to Brackney (2012) and Fine (2015), the French Huguenot magistrate M. le Loyer's The Ten Lost Tribes, published in 1590, provided one of the earliest expressions of the belief that the Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, Scandinavian, Germanic, and associated peoples are the direct descendants of the Old Testament Israelites. Anglo-Israelism has also been attributed to Francis Drake and King James VI and I, who believed he was the King of Israel.


And so we see these weird identity issues internal to themselves, which is not happening elsewhere. Not long afterwards, from Pepe Escobar's article in this post (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?114491-WW3-Ukraine-US-vs.-Donbass-Russia&p=1490071&viewfull=1#post1490071):

Russophobia, massively imprinted in the West’s DNA, never really went away. Cultivated by the Brits since Catherine the Great – and then with The Great Game.


She is an important marking moment. She was of critical interest to the historical St. Germain, and the outreach of the Dalai and Panchen Lamas:


Since the days of Catherine the Great (1729–1796), the Romanov rulers had been considered by Russian lamaists as the incarnation of White Tara, a female bodhisattva typically associated with Buddhist tantric practice and considered an emanation of Chenresig (the bodhisattva who embodies the compassion of all Buddhas), and the protectress of the Tibetan people.

According to Kalmyck and Buryat (https://www.buddhistdoor.net/features/stalin-mao-and-white-tara-a-creative-reframing-of-history-by-russian-buddhists/) Buddhism:

...the Empress of Russia, Catherine the Great (r. 1762–96) is said to have been recognized by Buryats as an emanation of the goddess for legitimating in 1764 the institution of the Pandito Khambo Lama, the supreme head of Buddhism in Russia. Another popular version, albeit also contested by historians, states that it was the empress Elizabeth (r. 1741–62), who was proclaimed the first Russian reincarnation of White Tara for recognizing Buddhism as one of the legitimate religions of the Russian Empire. Other sources indicate that even earlier Russian monarchs were referred to as White Tara among Mongols.


More "officially" in the twentieth century there was Agvan Dorzhiev (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agvan_Dorzhiev):

By the 1890s Dorzhiev had begun to spread the story that Russia was the mythical land of Shambhala to the north; that its Czar might be the one to save Buddhism and that the White Tsar was an emanation of White Tara, raising hopes that he would support Tibet and its religion. Dorzhiev had suggested to the Tibetans that Russia seemed to be embracing Buddhist ideas since their recent advances into Mongolia and might prove a useful balance to British intrigues.

In 1909 Dorzhiev got permission from the Tsar to build a large and substantial Buddhist datsan or temple in Saint Petersburg.



At this time however the western Ivy League and Oxbridge were spreading Eugenics (https://greatgameindia.com/how-american-eugenics-movement-inspired-hitler/). This impulse is American enough such that:

Ten years after Virginia passed its 1924 sterilisation act, Joseph Dejarnette, superintendent of Virginia’s Western State Hospital, complained in the Richmond Times-Dispatch: “The Germans are beating us at our own game.”


Quite so, because the German:

...closely followed the writings of Leon Whitney, president of the American Eugenics Society, and Madison Grant, who extolled the Nordic race and bemoaned its “corruption” by Jews, Negroes, Slavs and others who did not possess blond hair and blue eyes.

One day in the early 1930s, Whitney visited Grant to show off a letter he had just received from Germany, written by the corporal, now out of prison and rising in the German political scene. Grant could only smile. He pulled out his own letter. It was from the same German, thanking Grant for writing The Passing of the Great Race. The fan letter called Grant’s book “his Bible”.



I guess maybe the American is anti-Russian because he's just anti- "whoever is over there" and probably does not even know enough about the Russian to actually have a racist hatred in the way we would normally understand that. But he knows how to manipulate Ukranian Zionazism where people really do feel this way. Meanwhile, I am having a hard time seeing how the foreseeable future empowers either the British state or its private dynasties. I can't miss how it has, for several centuries, and maybe this is the "glass ceiling" for it.


Much like the Ukranians, the Nazis acted out American ideas mostly thanks to American financial investments and industrial supplies. The strange reality is that the Nazi Reich had at least managed to restore the country by violating American financial treaties. Despite the idea of ethnic cleansing, they were in a certain sense improving their land from a condition of ruin, and so were in a certain way successful until Hitler proved to be one of the most autistic if not echolailic military commanders ever. This same strategy has been forwarded to Ukraine.


And so we are witnessing grand investments in proven losing strategies. Nothing but bad plans everywhere! I just don't understand how in a buzzard's nightmare something like this could have seriously been expected to project NATO hegemony or even line the pockets of one of the Queen's favorite pervs.



On the side of what Russian can and is doing with evidence, this whole time since the coup has already been under Investigation (https://tass.com/society/1427171):

"Since 2014, according to the events in Donbass and Ukraine, the Investigative Committee has opened more than 500 criminal cases involving 180 individuals," Bastrykin said.


These are administrators, governors, military, Right Sector, saying that there was this level of criminality being pursued before any action was taken. As far as how much it may blossom as they go, looking around Donbass:


Bastrykin specified that since February 17, investigators of the Central Office of Russia’s Investigative Committee have initiated more than 80 criminal cases.


What they cannot do is anything more than what is politely referred to as "demand explanations" along with China. It is the "more to it" of the Limited Hangout (https://sputniknews.com/20220325/russia-to-demand-explanation-over-hunter-bidens-links-to-biolabs-in-ukraine-kremlin-says-1094181208.html) committed by The Daily Mail:


Aside from Hunter Biden, the Russian Defence Ministry found the US Agency for International Development (USAID), George Soros' Open Society Foundations, and the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention also financed the research, which took place in 31 laboratories across 14 settlements in Ukraine.


...one of the companies linked to these laboratories was founded by US President Joe Biden's son Hunter and Christopher Heinz, the stepson of former US Secretary of State John Kerry. According to Russia’s Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense Troops chief Igor Kirillov, they managed to trace the scheme of interaction between US government bodies and Ukraine's biolabs. The Rosemont Seneca $2.4 billion capital investment fund managed by Hunter Biden was among the companies involved in the financing of these activities.


So from the view of a Buddhist--Russian alliance since the time of Empress Catherine, we are just still kind of scratching our heads about why no one at least would take the warning. There, you see it. There, it goes. A whole heap of it has got to be violently overthrown these days. As far as we can tell, it cut off a NATO proxy war at the eleventh hour. As to what may satisfy the "demands for explanations", we are looking at one of the worst imaginable types of crimes essentially being charged in a courtroom that has no authority. The group being accused so far has the worst examples of statesmanship ever recorded in all of known history. How it could come up with any kind of acceptable statement is beyond our wildest dreams.

Is Moscow changing its strategy in Ukraine?
Russia has not been able to capture any major Ukrainian city. More than a month after it first invaded its neighbour, in the past few days, several western reports have been doing rounds that Russia has changed its strategy in Ukraine.

The Russian flat out said Phase One of its strategy was completed. Therefore, it would stand to reason it is progressing into Phase 2. I don't trust an iota of western media. Sky News which is based in england is constantly reiterating that the Russian is not doing well. Their experts believe their own narrative as if it were dogma. It is really strange to see the media's belief systems in action, as if they are not only convincing the consumers of media, but that they indeed are convincing themselves.

One example is the media's obsession with civilian casualties. The numbers are fairly low thus far, but the media hammers the point as if there should be zero casualties, which is nonsense and impossible to achieve.

Any posts from the mainstream media are certainly subject to a cynical eye.

U8hJMxQmwLM
Russia has not been able to capture any major Ukrainian city. More than a month after it first invaded its neighbor, in the past few days, several western reports have been doing rounds that Russia has changed its strategy in Ukraine.A mainstream clip (even though it's from India) that I suggest can be disregarded. Russia's not trying to "capture any major cities".

Mariupol isn't a "major city" in Ukraine, but it was a major Russian target. Lack of mention of Mariupol in any news report says everything about the teleprompter text that's being read.

And many analysts (who are not in the pay of the CIA :) ) point out that Russia is not being "isolated". Russia has support, in various important forms, from a number of geopolitically significant countries. It may be the US and much of Europe that will end up isolated, certainly economically and in terms of commodity supply.

Regarding the special military operation, as best I know according to all the reliable information shared here in the last few weeks (which has been VERY high quality, for which I think everyone who's been posting,) things have been going pretty much to plan for the Russian forces, and (compared to other recent conflicts) very quickly too.

But this post is just a general comment, possibly of interest only to non-member guests who are taking a look at this valuable thread. I'd expect that everything in this post is well-known at this stage by all Avalon members reading this.

Biden's Reckless Words Underscore the Dangers of the US's Use of Ukraine as a Proxy War

As grave of a threat as deliberate war is, unintended escalation from miscommunication and misperception can be as bad. Biden is the perfect vessel for such risks.

Along with its NATO allies, the U.S. has flooded Ukraine with billions of dollars of sophisticated weaponry, with at least some of those arms ending up in the hands of actual neo-Nazi battalions integrated into (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/03/25/germany-far-right-ukraine-russia/) the Ukrainian government and military (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/sep/10/azov-far-right-fighters-ukraine-neo-nazis). It is providing surveillance technology (https://www.politico.com/news/2022/03/16/us-sends-switchblade-drones-to-ukraine-00017836) in the form of drones and its own intelligence (https://www.reuters.com/article/ukraine-crisis-usa-intelligence-idUSL2N2V62MD) to enable Ukrainian targeting of Russian forces. President Biden threatened Russia (https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/24/biden-says-us-would-respond-to-russia-if-putin-uses-chemical-or-biological-weapons.html) with a response “in kind” if Russia were to use chemical weapons. Meanwhile, reports (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/19/us/politics/us-ukraine-russia-escalation.html?smid=tw-share) The New York Times, “C.I.A. officers are helping to ensure that crates of weapons are delivered into the hands of vetted Ukrainian military units."

The U.S. is, by definition, waging a proxy war against Russia, using Ukrainians as their instrument, with the goal of not ending the war but prolonging it. So obvious is this fact about U.S. objectives that even The New York Times last Sunday explicitly reported (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/19/us/politics/us-ukraine-russia-escalation.html) that the the Biden administration “seeks to help Ukraine lock Russia in a quagmire” (albeit with care not to escalate into a nuclear exchange).

Indeed, even “some American officials assert that as a matter of international law, the provision of weaponry and intelligence to the Ukrainian Army has made the United States a cobelligerent,” though this is “an argument that some legal experts dispute.”

Surveying all this evidence as well as discussions with his own U.S. and British sources, Niall Ferguson, writing in Bloomberg, proclaimed (https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-03-22/niall-ferguson-putin-and-biden-misunderstand-history-in-ukraine-war): “I conclude that the U.S. intends to keep this war going.” UK officials similarly told him that “the U.K.’s No. 1 option is for the conflict to be extended and thereby bleed Putin.”

The Duran - I searched for a cogent meaning for 'Duran' and there are several options, but this one: a purposeful or industrious undertaking (especially one that requires effort or boldness). Seems the most likely, the two guys are cooperative and very unlikely partners, but it just works! They have been doing an excellent job in my opinion, and gaining greater exposure, good luck to them.

Either we believe that the Peter Principle has reached the very top levels of the power structure, or this incompetence is deliberate. I tend very much towards the latter scenario, I don't believe these people lost their touch, they've simply done what their forbears have done repeatedly in the past. They've prepared the next bolthole, secured their assets, seeded the way and they are going to morph into their next iteration, whilst the ship goes down on their latest empire. 'The West' is being deliberately steered into the sidings, economically, culturally and eventually militarily and the puppet masters will be long gone when the proverbial hits the fan.

[Bill Ryan]

Either we believe that the Peter Principle has reached the very top levels of the power structure, or this incompetence is deliberate.A note here for any who might not understand the reference:

The Peter Principle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle) states that in any organizational hierarchy, people are promoted based on their success in previous posts — until they reach a level at which they're no longer competent.

Then they just remain there, now incompetent in their most recent job. So the Peter Principle predicts that any hierarchy gradually gets filled down from the top with incompetent people. (And the theory isn't just a joke! :) )

But no, in this case the apparent "incompetence" is deliberate. Biden himself may be incompetent (a perfect case study of the Principle!), but his controllers are psychopathic and are hell-bent on provoking a larger war. It's either all about the Great Reset, or about emasculating Russia (or both). But as I and many others have posted earlier, this is going to backfire significantly with the following results:


The economic sanctions on Russia and now China will greatly impoverish the US and most of Europe. Both food and fuel will be in short supply and will be much more expensive.
Russia is already forming strong economic (and military) alliances with China, India, and probably many other nations such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, and Brazil. That's between a third and half the world in terms of population, manufacturing capacity, and land area/natural resources.
So the globalist project of the "New World Order" (a one-world government) is being seriously damaged.

This is all driven by intentional, deliberate acts of destruction for the purpose of re-configuration of the global economic, political, military and cultural systems. "Remoulding [the World] nearer to the hearts['] desire." Much of the incompetence is a collateral and a natural, but perhaps unintended, consequence of the purposeful program and agenda of death and destruction.

Двадцать четвертого февраля,
Ровно в четыре часа,
Киев бомбили, нам объявили,
Что началася война.

Кончилось мирное время,
Нам распрощаться пора,
Я уезжаю, быть обещаю
Верным тебе навсегда.

И ты смотри,
Чувством моим не шути,
Выйди, подруга, к поезду друга,
Друга на фронт проводи.

Дрогнет состав эшелона,
Поезд помчится стрелой,
Я из вагона — ты мне с перрона
Грустно помашешь рукой.

Пройдут года,
И снова я встречу тебя,
Ты улыбнёшься,
К сердцу прижмёшься,
Я расцелую тебя.

Do we know where in the Ukraine this took place and when?The video was posted today, with three-quarters of a million views already. It's in Mariupol, but (as best as I understand) in one of the outlying parts of the city, certainly not very near the center.

The Russian anthem is being played by the soldiers on loudspeakers when they raise the flag. It's not a video editing overlay. The few citizens there come out as soon as they hear it, overwhelmed with gratitude.

...I don't believe these people lost their touch, they've simply done what their forbears have done repeatedly in the past. They've prepared the next bolthole, secured their assets, seeded the way and they are going to morph into their next iteration, whilst the ship goes down on their latest empire. 'The West' is being deliberately steered into the sidings, economically, culturally and eventually militarily and the puppet masters will be long gone when the proverbial hits the fan.



My question is still who are these puppet masters?

We understand how it worked in WW I--II because there is plenty of evidence of international collusion.

We understand the long-running Fabian policy as well as the Chatham House design about infiltrating and eventually vampirizing the U. S.; but unless this turns around and works out to the benefit of someone behind it, then they really have not mastered much.

It seems that "incompetence" is a much stronger explanation than many other reasons.

In my experience, top brass are competent at approximately one thing:


Telling someone what to do.


Sometimes orders lead to failure (https://sputniknews.com/20220328/russian-mod-ukrainian-mi-8-heading-to-mariupol-to-evacuate-azov-battalion-leaders-shot-down-1094267866.html):

"[The downed Mi-8] was heading towards Mariupol for emergency evacuation of the Azov battalion’s leaders, who had abandoned their troops", Defence Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov stated.


I can easily believe it is not hard to train Americans to hate Russians, even though they were once our allies and nothing drastic really ever happened. That kind of thing is relatively easy with some money and time. Just because it is not what I would think of as a "real" reason does not mean it does not work.

I am just still looking for a cui bono as if it were an example where, say, a post-apocalyptic U. S. actually was taken over by Russian or even British forces or something like that. Or if the pillar of wealth represented by Capitalism could now just retire happily in Macau or a Pacific island. So I would like to suggest that the puppet mastery is mostly by the ones we already know and that what is happening these days is more like an incompetent loss of control.

Repetition of what the forebears have done is babbling moronic if there ever was any. Total opposite of learning from history. I can believe someone would be dumb enough to buy a germ factory in the Ukraine. But I am not sure the benefit or to whom it would go, were they in the position to control or demolish the US/UK at will. Where, for example, will be the next major country that would like to host some anti-Russian hate?

I think we are seeing the screaming end of bad plans which may have been assumed to topple order and promote One World Government through the usual channels, but it doesn't work.

https://bild.de/politik/ausland/politik-ausland/horror-video-ukraine-untersucht-moegliches-eigenes-kriegsverbrechen-79590778.bild.html

Translation here: (Although the term in the URL horror-video-ukraine may speak for itself.)

https://www-bild-de.translate.goog/politik/ausland/politik-ausland/horror-video-ukraine-untersucht-moegliches-eigenes-kriegsverbrechen-79590778.bild.html

The translation reads:
Gruesome video footage from eastern Ukraine

A five-minute video was published on Sunday on the Telegram messenger service, which is said to show possible war crimes by Ukrainian soldiers and volunteer fighters against Russian prisoners of war.

The video shows about 20 suspected Ukrainians manhandling, interrogating and - particularly badly - shooting about 10 suspected Putin soldiers after they have already surrendered and are tied up. The footage shows a shot aimed at the legs of three Russian prisoners.

About seven other Russians are lying on the ground with gunshot wounds to their legs.

The video made waves on social media. That's another reason why an advisor to the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj (44) commented on the horror recordings just hours later, condemned them and promised an investigation by the military.

In an interview with Russian activist Mark Feygin, Oleksiy Arestovych explains that the video shows “absolutely unacceptable behavior. This is a war crime." Arestovych stressed that "there will be an investigation" and those responsible would be "severely" punished. The promise and certainly also the appeal of the Ukrainian government advisor to his own troops: "We do not mistreat prisoners of war, we are a European army."

I'm not sure most of that stuff recently posted even qualifies as torture. If I torture someone, that would mean I am trying to coerce information out of them. It would be to my advantage to keep them alive for months and just burn them with cigars and so forth. Most of these incidents are a sick form of pleasure like Gilles de Rais. Mayhem and Murder.


If Neocon warhawks irrationally hate Russians, it looks like the Department of Defense (https://sputniknews.com/20220328/us-prioritizes-china-as-top-security-threat-views-russia-as-acute-challenge-1094274456.html) has other plans:


"The FY23 President’s Budget allows DoD to develop, procure, and modernize capabilities to ensure combat-credible forces across all domains to address the pacing challenge from the People’s Republic of China and to address acute threats from Russia," the budget document said.

During a press briefing with three Pentagon officials earlier in the day, US Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks said China is the most consequential strategic competitor.


Regarding Russia:

The budget also says to counter Russia, the Defense Department 2023 request seeks to optimize Joint Force responsiveness to deter challenges in the US European Command area of responsibility through investments that enhance US partners' readiness and capabilities in the region.

The budget specifically requests about $5.1 billion to address security and strategic challenges posed by Russia in Europe.


In other words, you "invest" $5 billion in someone else getting themselves killed, which you merely hope costs Russia $10 billion to do so, and that defangs his acute threats.

Meanwhile a mere $6 billion will "address the pacing challenge" of China, such as:

construction to enable enhanced posture


Is this to spend the next fourteen thousand years building a wall all the way around the Asian Pacific rim in order to strategically compete? Roll over NATO, Russia is a sandbox, as long as we have this country then there is a permanent and very serious war footing with China. Never mind the lack of "armed conflict", we can deploy generations of "armed observers"! Bragging about how good they are will alone direct all thy tea into my coffers. After all, they are "combat credible", meaning they too can show up and get vaporized in a matter of moments.


Anyway, this seems to be the current US--UK plan. Invest in Ukranians to make a "bog" for Russia like Vietnam. Well, again, you might be able to embolden them for a few weeks, but somehow I do not think eight years from now that Russia will find itself sending home thousands of body bags for no reason.

In Mauriopol, the militias do not even use fortifications, they inhabit multi-level residential buildings. Exactly what kind of idiocy is this? More bad plans that don't work. I wonder if they even have a survival rate.




Here are a couple of recent comments:


I am not sure if you guys have heard about Martin Armstrong who was an economic analyst in the United States for many years and was at one time moving billions of dollars around.

He’s been providing reporting on the current conflict in Ukraine that has been quite refreshing, and let’s just say he has NO love whatsoever for what the western leaders are doing.

He calls this what this is: The opening shots to WWIII. And this is an attempt to have everyone join Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset.

He thinks the real mojo will begin next year with Iran and China joining in on Israel/neighboring Arab nations and Taiwan respectively.

The Aramco strike is particularly interesting in the light of all of this.


reply:


In private, a few city of london senior old hands who i have known since childhood share the view of MA…more or less. What they note is the desperation unfolding in banking / finanial circles that the western ‘leadership’ have blundered into a massive trap. These are not idealistic people, propaganda absorbers, just hard nosed realists. What they note is that whichever way you turn the board it looks like Russia wins the peace, gaining diplomatic status and economic power. On the way there will be tremendous hardship and upheval leading to a miserable existance for most. How the current crop of european glove puppet ‘leaders’ can grasp the seriousnes of their idiocy from inside the echo chamber of the ‘global order’ is not obvious and seems unlikely.



So, yes, this seems to share the view that there *was* a bad plan about subversion into the Schwabian Reset, *but* confidence in this plan was itself a trap or is at least unsolvable. Western finance and leadership have more or less doomed their entire sphere in such a way that they still believe in the efficacy of their actions.

The "controlled" Aramco fire is still burning after three days.

With regard to the above, I was under the impression that the blue armband signifies Azov or other nationalist battalions, rather than Ukranian Armed Forces....would this be correct?This report might be helpful — but maybe Malasa can confirm?

Exclusive: Change of colours in Ukraine camp to foil infiltration by Russia's saboteurs
Ukrainian soldiers and citizen volunteers have switched from their distinct yellow armbands to blue to prevent Russians from infiltrating their camps.

The blue band started being used by "volunteers" (mercenaries) and then it turned into anyone who is not "official army", by this i mean, they use it to later claim it wasn't a true Ukrainian soldier the one using a blue band, as in those who are killing innocents but have blue bands can be thrown under the bus if it becomes public, because the blue band was not part of the uniform so this must be a foreigner bad actor and not represents Ukraine real "heroic army"

The other thing about using it to figure out infiltrators is a trick for mass media, this is used so that any crime recorded by Ukrainian soldiers can be excused as "look at the band, we were using blue on the left arm and those are using yellow on the right arm, they are Russian infiltrators" and then this is pushed to social media and other levels of propaganda and crime goes unpunished and blamed on Russia

The idea they push about switching arm sides and colors is dumb, everyone always knows what they'll use on specific locations and times because of the drones and reports by scouts and other intel ways. Intel works a lot faster than that, it leaks easily and specially if the info comes directly from their side

But what do i know, i just read that from the back of my cereal box this morning :P

This is a short, high quality interview published 3 days ago by Gerald Celente (but I think it was recorded on 22 March), featuring Regis Tremblay, an American film maker now living in Yalta, Crimea.

After an opening rant by Celente :) , you can start in at 7:10, listening for the next 20 minutes. Tremblay is very grounded and lucid, reporting on his whole experience there. He confirms everything we're already learned about what's really been happening. He talks slowly and clearly, including much about the ongoing American hateful narrative about Russia, and if you're short on time it can be played at 1.25-1.5x speed.

He's made several films about the ceaseless military attacks by Ukraine on the people of Donbass, and one of the documentaries he made is called Who are these Russians, and why do we hate them?I've also posted that below. I've not watched it yet, but I certainly will do. It might even deserve its own thread — because the question he poses and addresses is an excellent one.

Russia to ‘drastically’ cut military activity near Kiev

Moscow said the move was for the sake of successful peace negotiations

Russia has “drastically” reduced its military activity near Kiev and Chernigov as talks with Ukraine enter the “practical” stage, the deputy minister of defense Alexander Fomin announced on Tuesday.

Speaking to the press following the talks with the Ukrainian delegation, Fomin said that “a decision was made to drastically, in several times, reduce the military activity on the approaches to Kiev and Chernigov.”

“We expect that relevant key decisions will be taken in Kiev and the conditions for further normal work will be created,” he said.

Fomin called on Ukraine “to fully abide by the Geneva Conventions, including with regard to the humane treatment of prisoners of war.”

Russia to ‘drastically’ cut military activity near Kiev

Moscow said the move was for the sake of successful peace negotiationsMy own comment:

Putin will be well aware of the obvious American agenda to expand and prolong the war. Without losing face or appearing to back down, he'll very likely want to stop that in its tracks while maintaining full control over Donbass and Crimea. (Re Donbass, he'll likely insist on a citizens' referendum, which may be hard for anyone to criticize or refuse.)

It's possible that 90% of the deNazification has been achieved already, but the remaining 10% could still be a problem depending on where the remaining Nazis are located and what they're doing. And I suspect that Putin will want Zelensky to remain as President (which will help Ukraine to recover, but in a strictly neutral capacity), though with far reduced influence and surrounded by Russian advisers.

From Gab https://gab.com/NeonRevolt/posts/108026435751497428


I don't think people realized what just happened over the past few days, so I'm going to try to explain what I'm seeing:

The Russian central bank pegged 1 gram of gold to 5000 Rubles (currently, about 50 bucks).

At the same time, Putin made it so that Russian gas and oil can only be purchased in Rubles.

Meaning: Putin basically just pegged Russian oil and gas to gold, using paper rubles as a proxy.

Meaning: Europe will need to either buy Rubles from Putin in gold, in order to buy gas and oil, or they will have to buy directly in gold. Which means, there will soon be a lot more demand for rubles.

Currently, the forex rate for rubles to dollars is about 100:1.

But... with 5000 rubles now equaling 1 gram of gold, and oil being priced directly in gold - you're going to see a massive price disruption in these FOREX markets, in terms of how much gold a dollar can actually still buy.

Foreign countries holding our dollar debt notes in reserve will see less of a use for them, and will want to start dumping them, in order to get something more stable, something which holds its value.

Basically any currency pegged to gold now will fit the bill. Which means those countries - countries like Japan - will be dumping their dollar debt as fast as they can. They're are NOT going to go down with the ship. And they will move into more stable currencies - like the Ruble.

Which will have a deflationary effect on the Ruble, making it more valuable over time.

Which means Putin will be able to re-peg the Ruble to Gold at whatever rate he wants, down the line. It's 5000 rubles today. Tomorrow, it might be 500. And then 100. And then 10.

This also means all those excess dollars being dumped by foreign nations are about to come home and cause even worse hyperinflation than we're seeing.

Is it any wonder Biden is up on stage pleading with Europeans for regime change in Russia? He's about to have masses of angry and starving people marching through the streets here at home, demanding answers.

Media Ignores These Complexities of Ukraine War (Pt. 1) | Jordan Belfort:

kIRszD_v_Z4
Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Jordan Belfort, the real wolf of Wall Street, about the mass brainwashing propaganda pushed by the media concerning COVID, the simplistic narrative of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and his one regret from his crazy wolf of Wall Street days. In this clip Jordan explains why the media has chosen to brainwash their viewers on major events like COVID and Ukraine instead of trusting them with facts. He shares why it’s clearer than ever that the mainstream media manipulates us with its distorted narratives. He sees the middle class decline as a big indicator that something has gone wrong with the American economy. He admits the rich and very ambitious will continue to thrive as the shrinking middle class feels more and more of the squeeze. He sees this and our inability to have honest conversations about the unfairness of Lia Thomas winning the women’s NCAA swimming championship as signs that America has lost its moral compass.

From Gab https://gab.com/NeonRevolt/posts/108026435751497428


I don't think people realized what just happened over the past few days, so I'm going to try to explain what I'm seeing:

The Russian central bank pegged 1 gram of gold to 5000 Rubles (currently, about 50 bucks).

At the same time, Putin made it so that Russian gas and oil can only be purchased in Rubles.

Meaning: Putin basically just pegged Russian oil and gas to gold, using paper rubles as a proxy.

Meaning: Europe will need to either buy Rubles from Putin in gold, in order to buy gas and oil, or they will have to buy directly in gold. Which means, there will soon be a lot more demand for rubles.

Currently, the forex rate for rubles to dollars is about 100:1.

But... with 5000 rubles now equaling 1 gram of gold, and oil being priced directly in gold - you're going to see a massive price disruption in these FOREX markets, in terms of how much gold a dollar can actually still buy.

Foreign countries holding our dollar debt notes in reserve will see less of a use for them, and will want to start dumping them, in order to get something more stable, something which holds its value.

Basically any currency pegged to gold now will fit the bill. Which means those countries - countries like Japan - will be dumping their dollar debt as fast as they can. They're are NOT going to go down with the ship. And they will move into more stable currencies - like the Ruble.

Which will have a deflationary effect on the Ruble, making it more valuable over time.

Which means Putin will be able to re-peg the Ruble to Gold at whatever rate he wants, down the line. It's 5000 rubles today. Tomorrow, it might be 500. And then 100. And then 10.

This also means all those excess dollars being dumped by foreign nations are about to come home and cause even worse hyperinflation than we're seeing.

Is it any wonder Biden is up on stage pleading with Europeans for regime change in Russia? He's about to have masses of angry and starving people marching through the streets here at home, demanding answers.

Yes I posted this in 2 other threads, did not include in this one, though it's quite relevant here.

It does look very much like it's in the end stage.


They are taking a hammering, the Azov lot are all but spent & the ordinary Ukrainian soldiers are surrendering in groups with the same tale of distant commanders that don't spend any time near the front & don't send supplies.

That said it does look like the negotiations might be getting somewhere, possibly because they have ditched the little comedian ?

Latest on the peace talks


'We're ready to consider' - Russian negotiator Medinsky on bilateral steps towards compromise in Russia-Ukraine talks

Vladimir Medinsky, one of the negotiators from the Russian delegation in the talks with Ukraine, has said that steps were taken from both sides towards reaching a certain agreement, including a written proposal from Ukraine.

"We have received from the Ukrainian side a written proposal, a proposal in writing, about the neutral status, about deployment of military bases, refutal to deploy foreign troops in Ukraine, refutal to produce weapons of mass destruction including bacteriological and chemical," said Medinsky.

In response to the proposal, Medinsky said that Russia has decided to make "big steps", including the gradual deescalation in military sense in two areas, Kiev and Cherniyev.

The second step, Medinsky said, would be a high-level summit. "There is still a long path to that. And the proposals that Ukraine sent us, we are ready to consider," said Medinsky

So, there's another reason for Russian troops moving away from Kiev.

60,000 fighters are caught here. They have no chance of resupply or reinforcements, and they have run out of gasoline. Once they have been neutralized (one way or the other), everything else in Ukraine will fall, and the war will end.

Based on what I believe I know and understand, he's very probably right. That would mean that the American attempts to expand and prolong the conflict would fail — which is very very important.

I wrote a comment about that in my post #1855 (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?114491-WW3-Ukraine-US-vs.-Donbass-Russia&p=1490680&viewfull=1#post1490680) above:
Putin will be well aware of the obvious American agenda to expand and prolong the war. Without losing face or appearing to back down, he'll very likely want to stop that in its tracks while maintaining full control over Donbass and Crimea. (Re Donbass, he'll likely insist on a citizens' referendum, which may be hard for anyone to criticize or refuse.)

It's possible that 90% of the deNazification has been achieved already, but the remaining 10% could still be a problem depending on where the remaining Nazis are located and what they're doing. And I suspect that Putin will want Zelensky to remain as President (which will help Ukraine to recover, but in a strictly neutral capacity), though with far reduced influence and surrounded by Russian advisers.

What I didn't add there was that


The sanctions against Russia and China will continue,
Faux moral outrage will continue to stoke all the media fires,
The US will marginalize itself (as will parts of Europe), and
The project of the unipolar NWO will fail.

In quite a few ways — and many analysts will be discussing this over the next few weeks — this might be the best of all possible outcomes, though I do NOT wish any hardship on innocent people wherever they may live. (And there'll be hardship among many of the poorer people in the US, for sure. :flower: )

This means that the risk of an imminent False Flag incident — specifically as a last throw of the American dice to prolong and extend the war — is VERY VERY VERY high.

For the record, this was what was reported on Russia Today a few hours ago. Interestingly, during The Duran's livestream (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eiWyqaua7Y)this morning US time, they were watching the response on Russian social media — which was predominantly critical, angry and/or concerned that Russia should NOT give too much away.

Since then I've heard nothing more, but maybe other members could provide an update?


https://rt.com/russia/552910-istanbul-peace-talks-explainer

Highlights from Russia-Ukraine peace talks in Turkey

After a month of hostilities, Kiev has come up with a written proposal for what it wants from a peace treaty

Russian offensive scaled down

An immediate practical effect of the talks will be a de-escalation of military activities in some parts of Ukraine, the Russian Defense Ministry announced. In particular, it pledged to “dramatically” reduce its operations near the cities of Chernigov and the capital, Kiev.

NATO-like security guarantees

David Arakhamia, Medinsky’s opposite number in the Ukrainian delegation, said Kiev had sought a security guarantee similar to that contained in Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty. He named Russia, the UK, China, the US, Turkey, France, Canada, Italy, Poland and Israel as possible providers. Some of them have given their preliminary agreement, he said.

No military blocs and non-nuclear Ukraine

In the proposal, Ukraine pledged not to join any military alliance, not to host foreign military bases or foreign troops, Medinsky said. Even military exercises would require prior approval from guarantors, according to the proposal. Kiev also pledged not to seek to obtain weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons, the official added. But in return Ukraine wants Russia not to object to its joining the EU one day.

Crimea, Donbass unresolved

According to Medinsky, Kiev offered a 15-year moratorium on the status of Crimea, during which its fate would be negotiated and both sides would pledge not to use military force to resolve it. This is not compatible with Russia’s position that Crimea is part of its territory and Kiev needs to recognize it as such.

Ukraine also sought to include “parts” of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions into the definition of its territory for the purpose of security guarantees, the Russian envoy said. Moscow officially recognized the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics as sovereign states – in their full regional boundaries – just days before sending troops into Ukraine last month.

Borders in question

Medinsky said Kiev did not state whether it would relinquish its territorial claim to Donetsk and Lugansk. Prior to February, Ukraine controlled a large portion of both Donetsk and Lugansk and considers the regions to be its own territory.

Arakhamia made it clear that Kiev will assert sovereignty over the entire territory that Ukraine had when it declared independence in 1991, saying there could be no compromise on this point.

New conditions for Zelensky-Putin meeting

Moscow has agreed to organize a meeting between Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky as part of the final phase of negotiations over the future peace treaty. The Kremlin had previously said that such a meeting could only be scheduled once the document was finalized and inked by the respective foreign ministers.

I should also post this for the record. Way too long, dense and complicated to embed all the tweets and videos, but it features a detailed military analysis for those who are interested in the detail.


http://thesaker.is/sitrep-operation-z

Sitrep Operation Z

Several big developments are giving us an idea of a shifting picture on the ground today. First let’s start with the fronts where the largest changes took place, and then give a broader strategic analysis.

-Many reports today confirm our previous determination that Russia is in fact conducting a major regrouping of its forces following what Shoigu today has called the successful conclusion of the main objectives of the first phase of operations:

“Shoigu: In general, the main objectives of the first phase of the operation have been achieved. The combat capabilities of the VSU have been significantly reduced, which allows us to focus our main attention and main efforts on achieving the main goal – the liberation of Donbass.”

This is in conjunction with the announcement from RF that some VDV units will be withdrawn from the Kiev region as a sign of good faith for the negotiations.

Of course the Western press/analysts have predictably spun this news as, ‘Attritioned Russian forces are pulling out and downscaling their operation in order to concentrate on more realistic objectives in the east’.

There is a very informative thread by Scott Ritter today who explains the simple concept of a military ‘feint’ (misdirection, deception, diversionary tactics etc) we’ve often mentioned before in the discussion of Russia’s opening maneuvers which seemed to many of us who actually follow military matters, to be a ‘pinning strategy’ that keeps Ukrainian forces from redistributing and relieving their primary forces in Donbass and elsewhere.

https://twitter.com/RealScottRitter/status/1508813631311466496


Big Arrow War—a primer. For all those scratching their heads in confusion, or dusting off their dress uniforms for the Ukrainian victory parade in Kiev, over the news about Russia’s “strategic shift”, you might want to re-familiarize yourself with basic military concepts.
Maneuver warfare is a good place to start. Understand Russia started its “special military operation” with a severe manpower deficit—200,000 attackers to some 600,000 defenders (or more). Classic attritional conflict was never an option. Russian victory required maneuver.
Maneuver war is more psychological than physical and focuses more on the operational than on the tactical level. Maneuver is relational movement—how you deploy and move your forces in relation to your opponent. Russian maneuver in the first phase of its operation support this.
The Russians needed to shape the battlefield to their advantage. In order to do this, they needed to control how Ukraine employed it’s numerically superior forces, while distributing their own smaller combat power to best accomplish this objective.
Strategically, to facilitate the ability to maneuver between the southern, central, and northern fronts, Russia needed to secure a land bridge between Crimea and Russia. The seizure of the coastal city of Mariupol was critical to this effort. Russia has accomplished this task.
While this complex operation unfolded, Russia needed to keep Ukraine from maneuvering its numerically superior forces in a manner that disrupted the Mariupol operation. This entailed the use of several strategic supporting operations—feints, fixing operations, and deep attack.
The concept of a feint is simple—a military force either is seen as preparing to attack a given location, or actually conducts an attack, for the purpose of deceiving an opponent into committing resources in response to the perceived or actual actions.
The use of the feint played a major role in Desert Storm, where Marine Amphibious forces threatened the Kuwaiti coast, forcing Iraq to defend against an attack that never came, and where the 1st Cavalry Division actually attacked Wadi Al Batin to pin down the Republican Guard.
The Russians made extensive use of the feint in Ukraine, with Amphibious forces off Odessa freezing Ukrainian forces there, and a major feint attack toward Kiev compelling Ukraine to reinforce their forces there. Ukraine was never able to reinforce their forces in the east.
Fixing operations were also critical. Ukraine had assembled some 60,000-100,000 troops in the east, opposite Donbas. Russia carried out a broad fixing attack designed to keep these forces fully engaged and unable to maneuver in respect to other Russian operations.
During Desert Storm, two Marine Divisions were ordered to carry out similar fixing attacks against Iraqi forces deployed along the Kuwaiti-Saudi border, tying down significant numbers of men and material that could not be used to counter the main US attack out west.

By the way, von Manstein, considered one of the greatest German WW2 generals famously employed such tactics, particularly in the same Donbass region against the Soviet forces, where he utilized feints and strategic retreats in order to capture a much larger encroaching force by way of misdirection and diversions). You can watch videos such as this one to see how an extremely agile mechanized force can employ diversionary tactics and misdirection to bait a much larger force:
https://youtu.be/vL1BiYvG-38

A source from Kiev further has reported that “Russia now has MORE armor units accumulated on the border than it did prior to the war…” This is extremely telling, and if true, a clear sign that a major phase 2 operation is in the preparatory stages. And there’s many sightings/videos of new forces coming in such as this one:
https://twitter.com/MotolkoHelp/status/1508794997184897024
https://twitter.com/hochu_dodomu/status/1508730518564753409

The full statement: “Russia has pulled more equipment to the border than it was before the invasion – according to Ukrainian resources affiliated with the intelligence of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The intelligence community “Informnapalm” specifies that specifically in the Kursk region a huge amount of military equipment is recorded – more than it was on February 24th.”

http://dxczjjuegupb.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/word-image-5.jpeg

-Now onto a few actual tactical updates:

By far the most actively successful theatre for RF forces has been Izyum. Kamyanka was mostly captured and there are now reports that fighting has been recorded as far south / down the road as Krestyshche (likely just advance/scout forces), which is right on the outskirts of Slovyansk. Similarly in the SW direction from Izyum, fighting continues around Barinkove and more and more forces continue to pour into this area via pontoon bridge crossings on the Donets river. This will become a bigger and bigger focus in the coming days as the “regrouping” pivots towards full Phase 2, as this area will become the main pincer of the north to enclose the ‘Great Cauldron’.

-In Mariupol, cleansing continues and Ramzan Kadyrov has flown in to help oversee the final stages of the Mariupol liberation and continue giving his troops morale on the frontlines. The city is divided into small pockets which are strategically being pushed by RF aligned forces towards the Azovstal factory so that they can concentrate and bottleneck all the remaining Azov forces there. The verdict is still out whether, as some have expressed, Russia will choose to “sacrifice the factory” once all of Azov is in there (via massive bombing), to get rid of them all in one shot, or instead cleanse it piece by piece so as to salvage it intact. The factory is an important industrial center that was once amongst the largest in the world for steel, so likely Russia is hesitant to completely destroy this heritage to Soviet industry.

And by the way, though we don’t know the exact force distribution in Mariupol, it has become clear that there are at least 3 distinct groups operating in several directions which have finally ‘linked’ at central points and are now often operating together. These are 1. the DPR forces from the north, the Chechen forces from the East, and now a special Russian Marine force from the West – what appears to be ‘Naval Infantry’. Several videos can be seen of these forces now operating in conjunction, though how the command is distributed between them is uncertain as of yet:

https://www.bitchute.com/video/bHfSya228Qfk (https://www.bitchute.com/video/bHfSya228Qfk/)
https://www.bitchute.com/video/SuYgc42MxSqU (https://www.bitchute.com/video/SuYgc42MxSqU/)

Also, this might be graphic but a must-see. This is what Azov battalion has become in Mariupol: https://www.bitchute.com/video/lVf6xGHKXEBx (https://www.bitchute.com/video/lVf6xGHKXEBx/)

A Ukrainian transport helicopter was also shot down yesterday in a desperate last ditch attempt to save some of the Azov leadership. It tried to come in stealthily, flying low over the Azov Sea, bypassing Russian land corridor / radar coverage, but once it got in close it was nevertheless detected and obliterated.

http://dxczjjuegupb.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/word-image-6.jpeg

-The administrative center building in Nikolayev was hit by Kaliber missile this morning. Official Ukrainian estimates claimed only 20-30 casualties (wounded plus killed), but chatrooms of Nikolayev have apparently begun to leak actual lists of casualties of confirmed casualty names on Telegram, and reports indicate there’s 200+ so far and possibly will be higher than the barracks of the 79th Brigade which was struck last week. Rumors after that hit last week stated that Ukraine command issued an immediate decree to no longer allow publishing of any ‘aftermath’ photos like the ones on the 79th which showed gruesome dead of the UAF. This means we likely won’t see much photo confirmation but the sheets with casualty names can be seen on the Telegrams of Colonel Cassad and others.

http://dxczjjuegupb.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/word-image-7.jpeg

-In other news, Deputy Head of the State Duma Committee Vladimir Shamanov today has announced that ‘Russian Spetsnaz’ have caught some of the perpetrators of the horrific torture / war crimes done to our artillery troops on the eastern outskirts of Kharkov the other day. Here is his statement:
https://youtu.be/imVFwgXNijw

“Today they are lying at their feet, asking for mercy” – Deputy Head of the State Duma Committee Vladimir Shamanov claims that those who mocked Russian servicemen in Ukraine were captured by Russian special forces.

“Those who bullied our servicemen did not rejoice for long, after three days our special forces captured these bastards. Today they roll at their feet, begging for mercy. I will call their names. One bastard was called Sergei Velichko, nicknamed Chile. The second – Konstantin Nemechev. Both bastards grew up as Nazis from a fan group of the local Metalist football club. This is what they themselves told during the first interrogations. And so it will be with everyone who is unworthy, violating the Geneva Convention, to act with our prisoners of war.”

Some however are skeptical of these claims until Russian leadership produces photos/videos proving these people are captured.

-In economic news, the Ruble has now almost fully, miraculously recovered to its pre-war exchange rate against the USD.

http://dxczjjuegupb.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/word-image-8.jpeg

Let’s recall that the West claimed the Ruble would catastrophically drop to 200 against 1 USD. Instead it spiked to a high of 130-150 and has been steadily rebounding, now almost completely back to normal, which was in the 75-80 range prior to February 24 and the onset of the special operation. This is a massive economic shock and humiliation to the entire West, to say the least.

On top of that, Russian stocks have opened back up and they are gaining positively as well:

http://dxczjjuegupb.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/word-image-3.jpg

-One last thing to note. I’ve said numerous times now that U.S. and Western equipment in general has been a catastrophic failure in the Ukraine. But there’s some additional important news that continues to reveal the veracity of these claims.

Firstly, this Pentagon reporter has stated that the Pentagon plans to buy hundreds of FEWER Javelin missiles this year than it did last year, DESPITE giving away thousands of them to Ukraine. https://twitter.com/JackDetsch/status/1508517753413636096
It is now clear that the Pentagon leadership has seen the utterly dismal performance of the Javelin and now wants to phase it out from U.S. forces. Remember, out of thousands of Javelins supplied, thousands of videos published by Ukraine, not a single successful usage of the system has ever been recorded. In fact the vast majority of successful Ukrainian defeats of Russian armor happens at the ends of legacy Soviet/Russian systems and mostly artillery. Russian forces continue to find Javelin units completely unused because Ukr troops have found them to be unwieldy and impractical in combat – too long to set up and use, too heavy to carry around, and not effective even when used. For urban combat where troops have to be as light, mobile, and agile as possible, the Javelin is absolutely worthless with its large CLU interface and overly-bulky design. The Pentagon has clearly seen the failure of the over-hyped system.

-In another sudden and unexpected report, the Pentagon now wants to scrap DOZENS of F-22’s.
https://www.rt.com/news/552870-pentagon-budget-f-22-jets-boneyard (https://www.rt.com/news/552870-pentagon-budget-f-22-jets-boneyard/)

They have suddenly decided they want to ‘divert funding’ to the next generation platform. There is clearly connection here to something the Pentagon has witnessed in Ukraine that has left it scrambling to rethink its approach to modern warfare. You see all proxy wars are laboratories for Great Powers to test and assess their equipment.

The F-22 was the flagship of the U.S. airforce, the ONLY plane forbidden by Congress to sell to any ally even in ‘export version’. The F-35 was meant for the export market while F-22 was supposed to be solely the unique and unmatched great hope and pinnacle of American engineering that would lead to victories in future wars. But it seems now that the Pentagon has had a taste of what modern Russian air defenses / radars are capable in Ukraine and is no longer confident of the F-22’s chances. It has suddenly scrambled to desperately dump the F-22 and prepare for the “next generation” platform titled the ‘Next Generation Air Dominance’ project, which would consist of heavily utilizing integrated drone warfare and possible drone swarms controlled by the pilot. This appears to indicate the U.S. sees no other way to defeat Russian air defenses and airpower in general apart from massive over-utilization of integrated drone saturation – it can no longer count on F-22’s after seeing how Russia has completely nullified the Ukrainian air and anti-air capabilities, which by the way were orders of magnitude greater than the capabilities of the Serbians in the 90’s who humiliated the U.S. air force several times.

-Also, following Lugansk Head Paschenik’s statements earlier, that a referendum would be conducted for Lugansk to officially join the RF, the head of DPR Pushilin today has also issued statements saying that the DPR will hold a referendum to officially join the Russian Federation but only after the conflict has ended. Either way, it is big news for LPR/DPR to look forward to after cessation of hostilities. If successful, this would add another massive 3.8 million population injection into the RF which, added to Crimea, would bring RF’s total population in the range of 148,000,000. Keep in mind, prior to the events of 2014, RF’s population was 143 million.

-Lastly, many people have been asking why Russia isn’t crippling Ukrainian internet capabilities. Today’s report claims massive Russian cyber attack has brought Ukraine internet connectivity to a mere 13% nationwide.

I think I found Roy Potter here on PA. Am not a complete fan, mostly because I don’t know or care about the prophecies he ties in to current events, but I appreciate much of his thought.

Here is his latest upload. I just caught the last half hour of the livestream, but I’m guessing the whole thing had to do with the Ukraine situation.

Things are a little quiet since there is no reason to immediately attack Kiev. It is surrounded on three sides. There are other places that are still intercepting Tochkas, attention is needed elsewhere.


There is an article today about what Russia means by "Nazi" from an Orthodox priest, Batiushka (https://thesaker.is/what-does-nazism-mean/). It is not that long and is worth reading, because it is fairly accurate to the general consensus.


He traces it vaguely to "barbarism" and is of course writing from a Christian view, that they were trying to convert "barbarism" way back then. Since the European religions are not Christian, he sort of jumbled this all into a tangible beginning of:


This renewed and justified Barbarianism can be seen in the First ‘Reich’ (Empire), founded under the Germanic prince, Karl the Tall, also known as Charlemagne (747-814). Already before he founded this Reich in 800 and appointed himself ‘Emperor’...


and that he, in fact, installed the anti-Christ religion:


...was ‘beatified’ by Roman Catholicism, which new Frankish religion, come from the Babylon of Rome, Charlemagne in effect founded, substituting it for the old Orthodox Christianity, come from Jerusalem.



From that point, it goes through the Crusades and Colonialism and most of the material that most of us are familiar with.

However this is a bit disingenuous towards Charlemagne. Catholicism was far from "newly Frankish" because there were centuries of "heretical" French monks who were slowly subordinated to "Ultramontane"--that is, from over the mountains, in Italy--dogma. There is nothing French in Catholicism, or, Catholicism is the removal of whatever any French person was saying. Charlemagne was totally taken off guard by the surprise that he had just been coronated Holy Roman Emperor. He didn't know what it was! Gift from the pope. Overnight, Ultramontanism grabbed dictatorial power by installing itself.

Charlemagne and the Carolingian dynasty rose to power because they were doing real work, while the former ruling house of the Merovingians was known for spending fortunes on entertainment, having no capabilities to deal with people and events. So they could actually be seen as the idea of a Good King being more important than a Divine Right King.


As written, the article sounds a bit too much like Charlemagne was the Nazi King of the First Reich. We do not know that he really had this character or any unusual beliefs. But nothing happened in France that was not the result of repeated Roman force projection. Then the article is not clear about Normans, who are not French, but Danish. Pagan Danes assaulted Catholic north France until they were given part of it. Then he misses the fact that it is these same Normans who established what we might call the Old World Order based in the Mediterranean Sea.


France, being nominally Catholic since an early time, therefor became particularly hated by Venice, which began political intrigues that eventually became the Anglo Dutch system in 1688 as the neighboring Revolutions (https://thesaker.is/glorious-revolution-of-1688-england-declares-death-to-all-other-revolutions/) article picks up from. That author missed the whole point of the American Revolution, and also grossly oversimplified France--which was addressed in the first comment:


This is a common misunderstanding since the mentioned french revolution which the french population celebrates was a psyop organised in significant measure by the british oligarchy in collusion with some continental actors.
Lyndon Larouche and his circle have been exposing that for decades.

The french monarchy wasnt what it was rumoured to be anymore than Putin or Assad are evil dictators.

Voltaire wasnt an innocent observer but an agent hired by Venice.
Bernhard Henry Levi comes to mind, although much less eloquent.

There are hardly any revolutions to celebrate. But perhaps the american one would count. And there was a brief rapidly twarted effort to bring it to France.



The last part is an understatement. The American Revolution does count. In a way that was understood by three royal ladies, Marie Antoinette--France, Maria Theresa Austria--Hungary, and Catherine--Russia. Internally to the French Revolution, therefor, was this same principle, however there were multiple factions and waves and so the result was not the same.


I suppose that Russian "Nazi" is a multi-tier word for an historical ethos which for a time operated through German Nazis and is still, so to speak, working for the same paymaster, even though there is not an actual Reich in progress.


The point is that the West is a mix of Catholic and Venetian intrigues, which, in the 1770s, had a resistance bloc between four countries that were somewhat all allies in principle, and out of favor with the British. Currently, only the country or culture, Russia, is still speaking the majority of these same points.


This largely characterizes how the west is known outside of its sphere of influence. No one is exactly waiting for a way for it to prove how it really is superior.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/03/russian-foreign-ministry-releases-alleged-biobiden-timeline-us-bioresearch-ukraine/



Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marija Zakharova has published a timeline of US-Ukraine bioresearch, which Gateway Pundit documents here for purposes of critical analysis.

Note: Bear in mind any information published by the Russian government in wartime must be viewed with extreme caution.


Russian Foreign Ministry Releases Alleged “BioBiden” Timeline of US Bioresearch in Ukraine

1991 – the US launches the Nunn-Lugar programme for the former Soviet countries to control/eliminate Soviet weapons of mass destruction including bioweapons. The Pentagon’s Defence Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) was named as the programme’s main executor.

1993 – the Ukraine-US Agreement on the Prevention of Proliferation of WMD is signed.

2005 – an additional protocol is signed to the agreement between the Ukrainian Health Ministry and the DTRA on the prevention of the proliferation of technologies, pathogens and know-how that can be used to develop bioweapons. This is the start of the transfer of the Ukrainian military biological potential into US specialists’ hands.

2000s – large US military-industrial companies are engaged in military biological activity in Ukraine.

2005-2014 – Black & Veatch Special Projects, a DTRA contractor, builds and upgrades 8 biolabs in Ukraine instead of eliminating military biological infrastructure, as was originally claimed. One of the facilities, a biolab in Odessa, has been financed since 2011 for the study of “pathogens that can be used in bioterrorism attacks.”

2007 – US DoD employee Nathan Wolfe founded Global Viral Forecasting Institute (subsequently – Global Viral), a biomedical company. The mission stated in the charter is non-commercial study of transborder infections, including in China.

2009 – Rosemont Seneca Partners is established by former US Secretary of State John Kerry’ stepson Christopher Heinz and incumbent US President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden.

2014 – anti-constitutional coup d’etat in Ukraine.

2014 – Hunter Biden joins the Board of Directors of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy company.

2014 – Metabiota, a private commercial organisation specialising in the study of pandemic risks is detached from Global Viral. Neil Callahan and John DeLoche, employees of Hunter Biden’s company Rosemont Seneca Partners are appointed to the board of Metabiota. Global Viral and Metabiota begin to get funding from the US Department of Defence.

2014 – Metabiota shows interest in Ukraine and invites Hunter Biden to “assert Ukraine’s cultural & economic independence from Russia”.

2014 – Metabiota and Burisma Holdings begin cooperation on an unnamed “science project in Ukraine”.

2014 – Metabiota, Global Viral and Black & Veatch Special Projects begin full-fledged cooperation within the US DoD programmes.

2014-2016 – Implementation of Metabiota and US DoD contracts, including a $300,000 project in Ukraine.

2016 – US citizen Ulana Nadia Suprun, a descendant of Ukrainian Nazis, is appointed Acting Health Minister of Ukraine. The US DoD and Ukraine’s Health Ministry cooperation programme is greatly expanded.

2016 – an outbreak of swine flu among Ukrainian Defence Ministry personnel guarding a biolab in Kharkov, Ukraine; 20 dead. The incident is hushed up.

2016 – former US Assistant Secretary for Defence Andrew Weber is appointed head of Metabiota’s global partnerships department.

2016 – EcoHealth Alliance, a Global Viral founder Nathan Wolfe’s structure, is engaged in the study of bat-transmitted coronaviruses at the research centre in a Wuhan laboratory, China.

2016 – the DTRA and Ukraine’s Health Ministry extend the contract after getting approval from the Ukrainian Defence Ministry.

The Ukraine – a decisive transfer of the balance of power from west to east

The 2022 Russo-Ukraine is also a proxy war between Russia and the Western world. We should be prepared for a decisive transfer of the balance of power from West to East…The bulk of the fighting is in the Donbas where there are few or no Western journalists.

Most of the debate and coverage of the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war in Australia and the Western world is decidedly banal. It is characterised by the simplification of an extremely complex situation to generate a narrative that can be summarised as Putin and Russia are evil and Ukraine is good.

This gross simplification is not helpful in either understanding the causes of the war, the nature of the war, its broader implications and most importantly of all, how it can be ended with the least number of additional deaths and injuries and damage to Ukraine’s infrastructure.

The preponderance of human-interest reporting of the conflict in lieu of coverage of the war itself is illustrative. The heartbreaking examples of families torn asunder along with the brave exploits of Ukrainian soldiers or allegations of war crimes by Russia, whilst important, tends to trigger an emotional response rather than provide an accurate depiction of the course of events.

Partly this is because very few mainstream Western reporters, if any, appear to be located where the bulk of the fighting is, namely in the Donbass and around Mariupol. The resulting vacuum is filled by claims, many unverified and unverifiable, from the Ukrainian side, the aforementioned human-interest stories or the impact of missile strikes in and around the major cities. Truth has long been described as the first casualty of war. It would be unwise to think that this conflict is an exception. We should thus take a healthy dose of scepticism about the media reporting and analysis of the war – from all sides.

A narrative that seems to be gaining traction is that the Russian forces have culminated and Ukraine may actually be winning. This narrative could well be wishful thinking, influenced by the desire for Russia to lose, the overwhelming pro-Ukrainian bias of reporting and analysis and a misunderstanding of Russia’s aims and strategy.

The Russian military is running an ‘economy of effort’ operation. It has effectively fixed in place the garrisons defending Ukraine’s major cities leaving them incapable of supporting the troops in the Donbass. Meanwhile Russia is progressively destroying the military infrastructure of the Ukraine (resupply, maintenance and command and control facilities and weapon systems such as Air Defence, artillery and armoured vehicles) through a combination of air strikes, cruise missiles, rockets and traditional artillery across the breadth and depth of Ukraine. Approximately 60,000 of Ukraine’s best trained and equipped troops are located in the Donbass. It would appear unlikely that this force is capable of anything other than localised tactical level manoeuvre at this point due to a combination of ever dwindling supplies of ammunition, fuel and rations, Russia’s dominance in the air and ground based combat power, and the effects of combat to date.

Despite the alleged incompetence of the handling of the initial stages of the war, the Pentagon assesses that the Russian forces still retain nearly 90% of the initial combat power assigned to the invasion. With Russian forces on the verge of completing the capture of Mariupol, it will only be a matter of time before the Ukrainian forces in the Donbass are fully encircled and subsequently destroyed or forced to surrender. Whilst there may be many weeks, or even months of fighting ahead, the writing is on the wall that Russia, barring outside intervention (i.e. NATO – which has repeatedly ruled out direct military intervention), will achieve its military objectives.

The direct Russo-Ukraine conflict is however just one level of this conflict. Ukraine is actually an unfortunate pawn in the much bigger conflict. As long time Russia analyst Gilbert Doctorow notes this is a ‘full-blown proxy war between the United States of America and the Russian Federation, and it is about ending or perpetuating American global hegemony.’ Whilst the war in Ukraine will end sooner or later, the implications at a global scale of this proxy war will be of much greater consequence for a much greater period of time.

The Western response to Russia’s invasion has been to substantially increase its military aid to Ukraine (which is unlikely to change the outcome of the war) and implement economic (and cultural) sanctions of an unprecedented scale and nature on Russia.

This approach is unlikely to work for multiple reasons, the primary one being as I stated in my last article that there ‘are no sanctions that the US or Europe can implement that will not have a greater impact upon those countries than Russia or create further divisions among the Western powers.’

Whilst the sanctions will have a disruptive and negative effect on the Russian economy, they will not be devastating for the simple fact that Russia is too important to the global economy. The initial shock of the sanctions did not cause a collapse of the Russian financial system, nor did it result did not result in a bank run. The Ruble has already regained some of its value versus the US dollar and Russia has (for now) made bond repayments.

Russia is far from being isolated. Whilst a majority of countries voted against Russia at the United Nations General Assembly, of more importance is the countries that are not sanctioning Russia. Outside of the West virtually no country is sanctioning Russia, including the world’s two most populous, China and India with the world’s second and sixth largest economies.

Russia has many willing buyers for its energy, mineral and agricultural produce. For those countries not on Russia’s ‘unfriendly country list’ they will receive preferential deals for exports as already evidenced by the Rupee – Ruble oil mechanism with India and a natural gas and grain deal with Pakistan.

The impact of Western businesses withdrawing from Russia, whilst causing short to medium term disruptions, will in the longer term be managed through an expansion of Russia’s import substitution policies and sourcing goods from other countries. There are already reports that the sale of Chinese mobile phones in Russia have more than doubled whilst the Chinese financial company UnionPay is replacing VISA and Mastercard. The effect of the sanctions policy may very well be the permanent gifting of a market of 140 million people to Chinese and Indian businesses.

Prior to the war commencing many countries, including the United States and in Europe, were facing an inflationary crisis, largely driven by the surging costs of energy. That situation is now much worse. Europe is already suffering energy shortages. Attempts to replace Russian energy will be time consuming and difficult. The Serbian President describes the situation as follows:

‘We cannot just destroy ourselves. If we impose sanctions on Russia in the oil and gas domain, we will destroy ourselves. It’s like shooting yourself in the foot before rushing into a fight.’

The net effect of the sanctions policy for Europe in particular is likely to be structurally higher prices for raw materials (energy, base minerals, fertilisers etc) and precarious supply chains for the foreseeable future. Standards of living will drop and the nascent cost of living protests that are emerging across Europe will likely turn into major domestic political crises.

The sanctions, including the unprecedented freezing of a central banks assets, are also undermining trust in the Western financial system. The trend towards de-dollarisation will rapidly accelerate from here on as countries seek to minimise the risk of trading with the US dollar.

The influence of Western powers is dwindling around the world. The leaders of the UAE and Saudi Arabia have refused to accept calls from President Biden – unthinkable even a few years ago. The recent cancellation of a UK delegation to India and both India and China’s unwillingness to ‘toe’ the Western line towards Russia being other key indicators.

It seems clear that the Western powers have overestimated the impact that the sanctions would have on Russia, had not fully thought through the implications, were unprepared for the consequences and have no feasible way of reversing their actions. Meanwhile the majority of the world’s countries will continue to trade and maintain their relationship with Russia for the simple reason that it is in their interests to do so.

Kishore Mahbubani predicted that it will be an Asian 21st century. Prior to 24 February 2022 the progress of the transition of the balance of power from West to East was progressing as a drawn-out process occurring over a decadal timeframe. However, the Western response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is rapidly accelerating this process – an own goal. There is a good chance that 2022 will in hindsight be viewed as the decisive tipping point. Unfortunately, the penny has not yet dropped with Western governments and their compliant media of what their actions have triggered. Enlightened self-interest suggests that a major change in direction is required in the West, Australia included, to make the best of a bad situation.

Could the Ukraine conflict put an end to EU 'golden passports'?
The European Commission has called on EU governments to stop selling citizenship to wealthy foreign investors, also known as 'golden passports,' urging member states to suspend the sale of visas to Russians and Belarusians.

The move is part of an ongoing EU campaign to crack down on the multi-billion-euro citizenship and visa industry, long considered among European politicians to be a security risk and a backdoor for dirty money within the bloc.

How Mariupol will become a key hub of Eurasian integration

Mariupol was battered by Ukraine's right-wing Azov battalion well before Moscow launched its military ops. In Russian hands, this strategic steelworks port can transform into a hub of Eurasian connectivity.
Mariupol, the strategic Sea of Azov port, remains in the eye of the storm in Ukraine.

The NATO narrative is that Azovstal – one of Europe’s biggest iron and steel works – was nearly destroyed by the Russian Army and its allied Donetsk forces who “lay siege” to Mariupol.

The true story is that the neo-Nazi Azov batallion took scores of Mariupol civilians as human shields since the start of the Russian military operation in Ukraine, and retreated to Azovstal as a last stand. After an ultimatum delivered last week, they are now being completely exterminated by the Russian and Donetsk forces and Chechen Spetsnaz.

Azovstal, part of the Metinvest group controlled by Ukraine’s wealthiest oligarch, Rinat Akhmetov, is indeed one of the biggest metallurgic plants in Europe, self-described as a “high-performance integrated metallurgical enterprise that produces coke and sinter, steel as well as high-quality rolled products, bars and shapes.”

Amidst a flurry of testimonials detailing the horrors inflicted by the Azov neo-Nazis on Mariupol’s civilian population, a way more auspicious, invisible story bodes well for the immediate future.

Russia is the world’s fifth largest steel producer, apart from holding huge iron and coal deposits. Mariupol – a steel Mecca – used to source coal from Donbass, but under de facto neo-Nazi rule since the 2014 Maidan events, was turned into an importer. Iron, for instance, started to be supplied from Krivbas in Ukraine, over 200 kilometers away.

After Donetsk solidifies itself as an independent republic or, via referendum, chooses to become part of the Russian Federation, this situation is bound to change.

Azovstal is invested in a broad product line of very useful stuff: structural steel, rail for railroads, hardened steel for chains, mining equipment, rolled steel used in factory apparatus, trucks and railroad cars. Parts of the factory complex are quite modern while some, decades old, are badly in need of upgrading, which Russian industry can certainly provide.

Strategically, this is a huge complex, right at the Sea of Azov, which is now, for all practical purposes, incorporated into the Donetsk People’s Republic, and close to the Black Sea. That implies a short trip to the Eastern Mediterranean, including many potential customers in West Asia. And crossing Suez and reaching the Indian Ocean, are customers all across South and Southeast Asia.

So the Donetsk People’s Republic, possibly part of the future Novorossiya, and even part of Russia, will be in control of a lot of steel-making capacity for southern Europe, West Asia, and beyond.

One of the inevitable consequences is that it will be able to supply a real freight railroad construction boom in Russia, China and the Central Asian ‘stans.’ Railroad construction happens to be the privileged connectivity mode for Beijing’s ambitious Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). And, crucially, of the increasingly turbo-charged International North South Transportation Corridor (INSTC).

So, mid-term, Mariupol should expect to become one of the key hubs of a boom in north-south routes – INSTC across Russia and linking with the ‘stans’ – as well as major BRI upgrades east-west and sub-BRI corridors.

Interlocked Eurasia

The INSTC’s main players are Russia, Iran and India – which are now, post-NATO sanctions, in advanced interconnection mode, complete with devising mechanisms to bypass the US dollar in their trade. Azerbaijan is another important INSTC player, yet more volatile because it privileges Turkey’s connectivity designs in the Caucasus.

The INSTC network will also be progressively interconnecting with Pakistan – and that means the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a key BRI hub, which is slowly but surely expanding to Afghanistan. Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s impromptu visit to Kabul late last week was to advance the incorporation of Afghanistan to the New Silk Roads.

All that is happening as Moscow – extremely close to New Delhi – is simultaneously expanding trade relations with Islamabad. All three, crucially, are Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) members.

So the grand North-South design spells out fluent connectivity from the Russian mainland to the Caucasus (Azerbaijan), to West Asia (Iran) all the way to South Asia (India and Pakistan). None of these key players have demonized or sanctioned Russia despite ongoing US pressures to do so.

Strategically, that represents the Russian multipolar concept of Greater Eurasian Partnership in action in terms of trade and connectivity – in parallel and complimentary with BRI because India, eager to install a rupee-ruble mechanism to buy energy, in this case is an absolutely crucial Russia partner, matching China’s reported $400 billion strategic deal with Iran. In practice, the Greater Eurasia Partnership will facilitate smoother connectivity between Russia, Iran, Pakistan and India.

The NATO universe, meanwhile, is congenitally incapable of even recognizing the complexity of the alignment, not to mention analyze its implications. What we have is the interlocking of BRI, INTSC and the Greater Eurasia Partnership on the ground – all notions that are regarded as anathema in the Washington Beltway.

All that of course is being designed amidst a game-changing geoeconomic moment, as Russia, starting this Thursday, will only accept payment for its gas in rubles from “unfriendly” nations.

Parallel to the Greater Eurasia Partnership, BRI, since it was launched in 2013, is also progressively weaving a complex, integrated Eurasian network of partnerships: financial/economic, connectivity, physical infrastructure building, economic/trade corridors. BRI’s role as a co-shaper of institutions of global governance, including normative foundations, has also been crucial, much to the despair of the NATO alliance.

Time to de-westernize

Yet only now the Global South, especially, will start to observe the full spectrum of the China-Russia play across the Eurasian sphere. Moscow and Beijing are deeply involved in a joint drive to de-westernize globalist governance, if not shatter it altogether.

Russia from now on will be even more meticulous in its institution-building, coalescing the Eurasia Economic Union (EAEU), the SCO and the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) – a Eurasian military alliance of select post-Soviet states – in a geopolitical context of irreversible institutional and normative divide between Russia and the West.

At the same time, the Greater Eurasia Partnership will be solidifying Russia as the ultimate Eurasian bridge, creating a common space across Eurasia which could even ignore vassalized Europe.

Meanwhile in real life, BRI, as much as the INSTC, will be increasingly plugged into the Black Sea (hello, Mariupol). And BRI itself may even be prone to re-evaluation in its emphasis of linking western China to western Europe’s shrinking industrial base.

There will be no point in privileging the northern BRI corridors – China-Mongolia-Russia via the Trans-Siberian, and the Eurasian land bridge via Kazakhstan – when you have Europe descending into medieval dementia.

BRI’s renewed focus will be on gaining access to irreplaceable commodities – and that means Russia – as well as securing essential supplies for Chinese production. Commodity-rich nations, such as Kazakhstan and many players in Africa, shall become the top future markets for China.

In a pre-Covid loop across Central Asia, one constantly heard that China builds plants and high-speed railways while Europe at best writes white papers. It can always get worse.

The EU as occupied American territory is now descending, fast, from center of global power to the status of inconsequential peripheral player, a mere struggling market in the far periphery of China’s “community of shared destiny.”

Things are a little quiet since there is no reason to immediately attack Kiev. It is surrounded on three sides. There are other places that are still intercepting Tochkas, attention is needed elsewhere.


There is an article today about what Russia means by "Nazi" from an Orthodox priest, Batiushka (https://thesaker.is/what-does-nazism-mean/). It is not that long and is worth reading, because it is fairly accurate to the general consensus.

(...)

However this is a bit disingenuous towards Charlemagne. Catholicism was far from "newly Frankish" because there were centuries of "heretical" French monks who were slowly subordinated to "Ultramontane"--that is, from over the mountains, in Italy--dogma. There is nothing French in Catholicism, or, Catholicism is the removal of whatever any French person was saying. Charlemagne was totally taken off guard by the surprise that he had just been coronated Holy Roman Emperor. He didn't know what it was! Gift from the pope. Overnight, Ultramontanism grabbed dictatorial power by installing itself.

(...)



Shaberon, aren't you oddly mixing up Frankish and French here? Although the name "French" does come from the name "Frankish", its applicability in a political sense starts roughly in the 10th century at the earliest, I would think, or am I missing something? In a linguistic sense, Frankish later evolved into Dutch in the areas where Latin had not supplanted the pre-existent Celtic tongue (roughly Northern Belgium and the Netherlands), whereas French came out of the Latin dialects spoken in Gaul (later France) with a considerable admixture of Frankish words as Frankish was the language of the Merovingian and Karolingian nobility.

That is how the quote put it.

I would agree that there wasn't France until Paris; but in Russia, Tibet, and India, "Frank" is the word for almost any kind of European, even the Portuguese at Goa. See Persian Farang (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farang). So, it was a tribe, but basically came to mean "white people".

I suppose I said something like "French monk of the fifth century", so, no, that is not really correct, you would probably have to say "Burgundian" and so forth. In context, it means "north of the mountains", as far as the church can reach.

[shaberon]

This is an interesting note from the day of publicized negotiations of less-than-binding nature:



The same day, Russian Defence Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said that documents obtained from the employees of Ukrainian biological laboratories showed Kiev's plans to use drones capable of spraying deadly substances. The Ukrainian government was seriously considering the possibility of using biological weapons against the population of Donbass and Russia, he said.



This is while there puzzlingly is not any response about the first bioweapons questions.


The "multi-polar" declaration was made at:

all today’s talks with representatives of the countries participating in the group of neighbors of Afghanistan


which, as you know, is where empires go to die--and this negates a vaccine treaty or anything like it. It refuses any higher authority than a country's own. Maybe that has little to do with whether the U. S. political machine would stop pursuing it. It has a lot to do with the likelihood that it won't work. That probably only encourages them.

Another reason Russia may be invading:

Ukraine’s nuclear weapons program can no longer be denied
Paul Antonopoulos, independent geopolitical analyst.
http://infobrics.org/post/35435/

Ukraine has engaged in nuclear and missile programs for nearly three decades as part of their quest to have their own nuclear weapons. The revelation by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the Munich Security Conference on February 19 about the possibility of achieving a nuclear status, just five days before Moscow launched its “special military operation”, was certainly not accidental.

Despite joining the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons as a non-nuclear state in 1994, Ukraine immediately began Research and Development (R&D) to form the technological basis for the possible creation of its own nuclear weapons. However, the biggest push for nuclear weapons was following the 2014 Maidan coup and the accession of Petro Poroshenko to the presidency.

According to the Russian Foreign Intelligence Agency, Ukraine’s R&D on the creation of a nuclear explosive device (NED), which could later be used in the design of nuclear warheads, was carried out in both uranium and plutonium directions. Given Ukraine’s important role in R&D during the Soviet era, the country’s scientific community has the capabilities and industry potential to achieve this goal. In addition, in order to accelerate R&D, plutonium of the required quality was obtained by Ukraine from abroad.

A new (rather opinionated! :) ) update from The Saker, just posted:


http://thesaker.is/day-35-of-the-russian-smo-in-the-ukraine-a-naysayers-special

Day 35 of the Russian SMO in the Ukraine – a “naysayers special”!

How many of you remember the endless stream of warnings that “Putin works for Schwab” or “Putin is in bed with Netanyahu”, he will “sell out the Donbass” and he is “bluffing” about sanctions.

Then came the ultimatum. They dismissed it.

Then came the Special Military Operation (SMO). They dismissed it.

Then came the news that Russia would sell gas to hostile states only in Rubles. They dismissed it.

See, for them, there are only two options:


Putin is a Davos/Bilderberger/CFR/WEF/etc. agent
Putin is bluffing

So let me ask you all: with a eight year track of being wrong, every time, why would you listen to these clowns?

I mean, seriously, not only are they wrong, but they are using all the talking points of US PSYOPs. Some do that in the name of freedom, democracy, and their love for the pure and Nazi-free Ukraine they support so much, others do that in the name of Holy Russia and their desire to overthrow Putin to replace him with… … somebody better.

Having spent YEARS debunking their nonsense, I now wonder, with Putin saying this:

Will they finally admit that they were wrong?

NOPE!

Why not? Because for them ANY victory, even just a perceived victory, for Russia is not a victory for Russia, but a victory for that “evil Putin” which they hate with all their hearts. Besides, they much rather have bona fide Nazis prevail than Russia. For the Empire of Lies, Nazis are SOBs, but they are “our SOBs”. Nothing new here.

Russia beat the initial economic sanctions in exactly the time frame predicted by Putin. But the naysayers chose to either deny or dismiss this.

Now the Ruble is back on its pre Feb 24th position, but they won’t consider that as relevant.

Then there are those who still believe that the Nazis are winning. On all fronts. Well, here is today map and you decide for yourself who is winning and who is losing:

http://dxczjjuegupb.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Map-March-31st-1024x726.jpg

Especially for the alternatively gifted, here is a breakdown of what is going on according to Scott Ritter (https://twitter.com/RealScottRitter):


Big Arrow War—a primer. For all those scratching their heads in confusion, or dusting off their dress uniforms for the Ukrainian victory parade in Kiev, over the news about Russia’s “strategic shift”, you might want to re-familiarize yourself with basic military concepts.
Maneuver warfare is a good place to start. Understand Russia started its “special military operation” with a severe manpower deficit—200,000 attackers to some 600,000 defenders (or more). Classic attritional conflict was never an option. Russian victory required maneuver.
Maneuver war is more psychological than physical and focuses more on the operational than on the tactical level. Maneuver is relational movement—how you deploy and move your forces in relation to your opponent. Russian maneuver in the first phase of its operation support this.
The Russians needed to shape the battlefield to their advantage. In order to do this, they needed to control how Ukraine employed it’s numerically superior forces, while distributing their own smaller combat power to best accomplish this objective.
Strategically, to facilitate the ability to maneuver between the southern, central, and northern fronts, Russia needed to secure a land bridge between Crimea and Russia. The seizure of the coastal city of Mariupol was critical to this effort. Russia has accomplished this task.
While this complex operation unfolded, Russia needed to keep Ukraine from maneuvering its numerically superior forces in a manner that disrupted the Mariupol operation. This entailed the use of several strategic supporting operations—feints, fixing operations, and deep attack.
The concept of a feint is simple—a military force either is seen as preparing to attack a given location, or actually conducts an attack, for the purpose of deceiving an opponent into committing resources in response to the perceived or actual actions.
The use of the feint played a major role in Desert Storm, where Marine Amphibious forces threatened the Kuwaiti coast, forcing Iraq to defend against an attack that never came, and where the 1st Cavalry Division actually attacked Wadi Al Batin to pin down the Republican Guard.
The Russians made extensive use of the feint in Ukraine, with Amphibious forces off Odessa freezing Ukrainian forces there, and a major feint attack toward Kiev compelling Ukraine to reinforce their forces there. Ukraine was never able to reinforce their forces in the east.
Fixing operations were also critical. Ukraine had assembled some 60,000-100,000 troops in the east, opposite Donbas. Russia carried out a broad fixing attack designed to keep these forces fully engaged and unable to maneuver in respect to other Russian operations.
During Desert Storm, two Marine Divisions were ordered to carry out similar fixing attacks against Iraqi forces deployed along the Kuwaiti-Saudi border, tying down significant numbers of men and material that could not be used to counter the main US attack out west.
The Russian fixing attack pinned the main Ukrainian concentration of forces in the east, and drove them away from Mariupol, which was invested and reduced. Supporting operations out of Crimea against Kherson expanded the Russian land bridge. This phase is now complete.
Russia also engaged in a campaign of strategic deep attack designed to disrupt and destroy Ukrainian logistics, command & control, and air power and long-range fire support. Ukraine is running out of fuel and ammo, cannot coordinate maneuver, and has no meaningful Air Force.
Russia is redeploying some of its premier units from where they had been engaged in feint operations in northern Kiev to where they can support the next phase of the operation, namely the liberation of the Donbas and the destruction of the main Ukrainian force in the east.
This is classic maneuver warfare. Russia will now hold Ukraine in the north and south while its main forces, reinforced by the northern units, Marines, and forces freed up by the capture of Mariupol, seek to envelope and destroy 60,000 Ukrainian forces in the east.
This is Big Arrow War at its finest, something Americans used to know but forgot in the deserts and mountains of Afghanistan and Iraq. It also explains how 200,000 Russians have been able to defeat 600,000 Ukrainians. Thus ends the primer on maneuver warfare, Russian style.

Now none of that is very advanced or exotic. And if a US Marine (!) can understand that, so can anybody else with a basic educated and common sense. Unless, of course, you have an ideological agenda which prevents you from accepting reality.
I might drop by later again, this is definitely a day full of events.

Andrei

PS: and, yes, the Russians will still continue to negotiate and talk with everybody (http://thesaker.is/negotiations-a-primer-for-zone-a-residents/). Get used to it!

US veteran who volunteered to fight for Ukraine describes ‘suicide mission’

An American volunteer for Ukraine tells The Grayzone how his foreign legion tried to use him as cannon fodder.

A decade after Henry Hoeft joined the US Army at age 18, he was back on the battlefield, but this time as a volunteer for a foreign military engaged in a proxy war against a powerful foe. After answering the Ukrainian government’s call for foreign fighters this February, however, the American veteran quickly decided he was being sent on a “suicide mission” against the Russian military.

After escaping with his life, claiming his own allies had threatened to shoot him in the back, Hoeft posted a viral message advising other Westerners against joining the fight in Ukraine. Within days, he was at the center of a global information war, with the military for which he had volunteered publicly branding him a Russian agent.

It was not the first time Hoeft had placed himself in the middle of controversy. Years before his ill-fated mission in Ukraine, his passion for guns and the Second Amendment led him into the ranks the Boogaloo Boys, an enigmatic militia-style organization that confounds even self-styled extremism experts.

Members of the Boogaloo Boys uphold a staunchly anti-communist, anarchistic perspective that incorporates political positions and symbols familiar to both radical right and leftist movements. They have marched in support of Black Lives Matter, to the obvious discomfort of many liberal social justice activists, and protested coronavirus lockdowns, usually while openly toting assault rifles and sporting the Hawaiian shirts that have become their trademark.

Hoeft was a prominent figure in the Ohio chapter of the Boogaloos and appeared at the Ohio statehouse in Columbus to deliver introductory remarks at an armed “unity rally.” There, he emphasized the group’s non-partisan politics and defended a transgender activist from insults.

https://i0.wp.com/thegrayzone.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Screen-Shot-2022-03-30-at-5.55.15-PM.png?resize=1024%2C577&ssl=1
Henry Hoeft at a Boogaloo Boys event at the Columbus, Ohio statehouse on January 17, 2021

But Hoeft said it was not his former affiliation with a militia-style organization that drew him back into the field of armed combat. Instead, it was the emotional impact of news flashing across his Facebook timeline about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine this February and being taken in by heart-rending stories of civilian suffering. He was a father now, and he saw his own child in the faces of Ukrainian youth fleeing for their lives from the Russian military onslaught.

So the moment Ukrainian President Vlodymyr Zelensky implored Westerners to travel thousands of miles across the ocean to join his country’s fight, Hoeft mobilized. “Every friend of Ukraine who wants to join Ukraine in defending the country please come over, we will give you weapons,” Zelensky appealed (https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/volodymyr-zelensky-calls-every-friend-152927260.html) days after the full-scale war erupted.

When he arrived in Ukraine, however, he was forced to confront the dispiriting reality of a rag-tag volunteer paramilitary thrust into a proxy war against a powerful military machine. After about a week, he decided he had signed up for his own death.

“They’re trying to send us to Kiev with no ****ing weapons, no kit, no plates. The people who are lucky enough to get weapons are only getting magazines with like 10 ****ing rounds,” Hoeft complained in a viral video rant from the field. “People need to stop coming here. It’s a trap and they’re not letting you ****ing leave.”

Hoeft went on to make a series of explosive claims, including that the passports of Westerners trying to leave Ukraine were being torn up; that foreigners were being sent to the front lines without rifles; and that the Georgian Legion was threatening to shoot those who refused.

Once it became clear that Hoeft’s account was undermining Kiev’s public relations campaign, the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine denounced him on its official Twitter account, branding the American as a stooge of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and posting his photo beside the caption “Made in Russia.”

https://twitter.com/NSDC_ua/status/1507020340131729410
1507020340131729410

Next, Georgian Legion fighters joined the social media assault, denouncing Hoeft and branding him as a liar. “Whatever may or not be circling right now from Henry,” one American volunteer claimed in a video published by Daily Wire reporter Kassy Dillon, “it is completely false.”

Finally, the corporate media trained its sights on Hoeft.

“Ukraine’s foreign fighters ridicule American Boogaloo Boy who RAN AWAY,” a headline from the Daily Mail tabloid said. “A Boogaloo Boi Tried to Join the Foreign Legion In Ukraine — It Didn’t End Well,” claimed Rolling Stone. And via the aggregator Raw Story: “Boogaloo Boi’s attempt to fight in Ukraine ends in disaster and him fleeing.”

Amidst the corporate media’s taunting, Hoeft agreed to an interview with The Grayzone. He told this reporter that he was determined to set the record straight about his connection with the Boogaloo Boys, his political views, and most importantly, the serious dangers volunteers face on the Ukrainian battlefield.

“There’s no such thing as glory in death,” Hoeft told The Grayzone. “You’re going to die in a trench and you’re going to get left there and it’s gross and it’s bad.”

“We can possibly stop a world war”

When Henry Hoeft signed up for the Ukrainian Foreign Legion in late February 2022, he was convinced his experience as an army veteran trained in infantry tactics and mortar fire would make him a valuable asset. Tens of thousands of foreigners who flocked to Ukraine, pouring across the Polish border with the quiet assent of NATO governments, and zealous encouragement from Kiev, apparently felt the same.

“Being a veteran that has a specific skill set, I felt like I could put it to better use there in Ukraine than sitting here on my couch while watching women and children be targeted by Russian forces,” Hoeft told The Grayzone.

A few days before shipping off to Ukraine, he told The Columbus Dispatch, his hometown paper, about the raw emotion that was driving his decision: “Russia is firing on civilian structures, and there are kids who died. The fact that so many veterans across countries are stepping up, that’s very inspiring to me. We feel like if we can hold Putin for long enough, we can possibly stop a world war.”

Today, Hoeft says, “I still feel the same way. But I never had an intention of going to Ukraine on a suicide mission. I have a child. I have work. I have school. My original intent wasn’t even to be a frontline combat soldier. I intended to volunteer, which I did, and provide training, medical supplies and support.”

Hoeft submitted to the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington, DC a copy of his passport and proof of his military experience, the sole requirements of foreigners looking to fight for Ukraine.

Once he arrived in Poland, getting over the border was “a very easy process,” he said. “It was very fast paced. It took us probably five, ten minutes to get into Ukraine.”

But as Hoeft explained to The Grayzone, getting out was not so easy.

Inside the Georgian National Legion

After entering Ukraine, Hoeft and a few fellow volunteers made their way to Lviv. “In the town center of Lviv, they’re recruiting people from a bunch of different groups. You had Georgians, Ukrainians from local militias, and you also had more hostile groups like Azov and stuff like that,” Hoeft recalled.

Since the Ukrainian Foreign Legion required a contract, Hoeft opted to join the Georgian Legion, which was conveniently stationed nearby.

Incorporated into the Ukrainian military, the Georgian Legion runs three bases with hundreds of fighters. Previously a unit that fought on the front lines against Donbass, the Georgian Legion is now headquartered in the West where it is led by Mamuka Mamulashvili, a veteran of four previous wars with Russia, including Georgia’s disastrous invasion of South Ossetia.

Mamulashvili and a small group of men he led during the Maidan coup d’etat have been accused by fellow Georgian fighter Alexander Revazishvili of carrying out a dastardly false flag massacre in Kiev’s central square. According to Revashishvili, Mamulashvili ordered his snipers to open fire on a crowd, killing 49 protesters in a cynical attempt to escalate the conflict by pinning the blame on the government they were seeking to topple.

Photos (https://www.facebook.com/MamukaLegion/photos_by) from both 2017 and 2018 posted on Facebook by Mamulashvili show the Georgian hard-man inside the US Capitol rubbing elbows with some of the top figures on the House Foreign Relations Committee. They included then-Rep. Eliot Engel, Rep. Carolyn Maloney, former Rep. Sander Levin, Rep. Doug Lamborn, and former Rep. Dana Rohrabacher. He posted more photos showing him visiting Senate offices, including that of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the former chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Over the years, a number of infamous foreigners have passed through the ranks of the Georgian Legion, including American veteran Craig Lang, who is accused of a grisly double-murder in Florida, Joachim Furholm, a Norweigan neo-Nazi and bank robber, and Ethan Tilling, a former member of the neo-Nazi Right Wing Resistance group in Australia.

... Gonzalo Lira Interviews Scott Ritter (https://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=251630) 52:56

by tts-admin (https://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?author=39262) | Mar 31, 2022

Gonzalo Lira – Twitter March 30, 2022

I interviewed Scott Ritter, retired Marine, international weapons inspector, and of course famed military analyst, to discuss the situation in Ukraine. We were supposed to do a live stream on my YouTube channel, but there were technical difficulties. So rather than postpone the interview, I decided to do it on Twitter Spaces, which was quick and convenient. At the end of the day, what matters is not the image but the words. Below is the link to the full conversation that I had with Scott. He’s a great guy, extremely knowledgeable, and always honest and forthright. Please listen in full, I think you will get a lot out of our conversation. GL

MORE DETAILS ON INTERCEPTION OF UKRAINIAN HELICOPTERS NEAR MARIUPOL REVEALED

On March 31, forces of the Donetsk People’s Republic reported that they had shot down two Ukrainian Mi-8 helicopters that tried to evacuate members of the Azov Battalion from the Azovstal plant in Mariupol.

According to initial reports, the first helicopter was shot down near Rybatskoye settlement. Most of the crew and passengers were found dead. The helicopter was tentatively identified as Mi-8MSB, tail number 864, of the Poltava 18th Aviation Brigade. The second helicopter reportedly went up in smoke but continued on its way and allegedly crashed in the sea area. Later, the Russian Defense Ministry released a statement supporting this version. According to it, at least one helicopter was shot down with the captured ‘Stinger’ MANPAD.
DPR troops captured three survivors from the crew and passengers of the helicopters in question. Two of them were already questioned in videos that appeared online. These are:

Senior Lieutenant of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine with the call sign “Belmak”. He repeatedly participated in Kyiv’s military operation in the Donbass in previous years as well as served as an airborne instructor. During the March 31 incident, he operated the machine gun installed on the helicopter and was tasked with providing fire cover.

I noticed earlier the U. S. is getting one million barrels of oil a day from the Strategic Reserve for six months. I am not sure if this has been done before.

You already bought it one time. Then when it goes in your gas tank you will buy it a second time. Then you will buy the replacement later on. It needs to be kept full, 727 million barrels, due to the threat of a Soviet invasion. I mean...Martians.

In a race to the bottom, as far as stupidity goes, this is a very funny one :P

https://www.rt.com/russia/553081-latvia-bans-v-z-russia/


The parliament of Latvia has adopted a law banning the display of the letters “Z” and “V” in public, saying the symbols used by Russian troops in Ukraine stand for glorifying aggression and war crimes. The former Soviet republic, now an EU and NATO member, acted after the government in Kiev called for the censorship of the symbols.

The Saeima used urgent procedure to vote on Thursday on amendments prohibiting displays of “military aggression and war crimes” at public events.

The law also says no permits for public events will be given if they are held within 200 meters of monuments commemorating the Soviet Army in Latvia. Individuals convicted under the new law will be fined up to €400, while companies can be fined up to €3,200.

“In condemning Russia’s hostilities in Ukraine, we must take a firm stand that symbols glorifying Russian military aggression, such as the letters 'Z', 'V' or other symbols used for such purposes, have no place in public events,” Artuss Kaimins, chair of the Saeima’s Human Rights and Public Affairs Commission, said in a statement.


Ever heard of V-Day and its meaning, you glue eating morons?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_Day

Reminds me of a nice conversation days ago, about possibly the Russian tanks sporting the C. I. A. characters instead of V, Z and O... lmao, a big chunk of US history would have to be rewritten once those characters are cancelled

This is one for the "cancel" thread, i guess i'll go there next :P

My post will be named "we are so stupid by now that we are cancelling the very character we have used to represent our own fake win in WW2, which allowed us to claim we were the saviors of the entire world"

I wonder now how it will be called.. "Freedom Day" may be a good one, or maybe:

"Non-Russian WW2 Win Related Winning Day" maybe?

Don't know

[shaberon]

"we are so stupid by now that we are cancelling the very character we have used to represent our own fake win in WW2, which allowed us to claim we were the saviors of the entire world"


I don't think we have this kind of a national psyche any more.

For example, I cannot remember a time on Independence Day, July 4, where anyone said anything like, "Well, Malisa, we defeated the British in our coon skin caps because..."

There hasn't been any V Day where anything was said about WWII.

There is no particular thing that could possibly apply to the Iraq or Afghan veterans.

Outside of a few tv shows, and, perhaps, a minority who script their own version of these events to have a political party or something, none of those victories seem to register with anyone. Most places in Europe, you can hardly sit at a park bench without being next to a statue of an 1800s field marshal, and since there were a lot more European wars, people remain generally familiar with things back to Charlemagne. Here, any loud public fandango about defeating those evil Nazis and Japs faded out not really that long after it happened. I have never seen anything like what I have read about either Vietnam-era peace protests, or, that type of puffed up pride where you get to tell housewives that when they turn wrenches, they, too, are playing a role in overthrowing the Reich.

For the most part, the public does not even seem interested in the "knight in armor" thing whether about Germany or anywhere else.

The wave of censorship is insane.

It is best to know both sides of a coin, or all sides of a sphere. And so I recently saw it explained by one of the foreigners who had entered Ukraine:


This is the only place in the world where you can fight for White Supremacy using weapons.


Although I am what most people would probably call a white person, and, the box I check is this or "Caucasian", irony unintentional, I have examined their policies and learned that I am actually mud. This puts me in the interesting position that white supremacy is actually weaponized against me. In that case, I guess that makes all forms of supremacy are. This brings things to the point that "that side" has self-declared itself as an enemy against me personally.

I mean, if you are convinced you have purely Nordic genes and choose to only procreate with those who do, you could have that right. But, unless you do, you can be pretty sure how this Ukranian nationalism feels towards you.

I am so mixed my eyes look half japanese on one side and normal russian on the other side, i have a half japanese eye! lmao! This is not normal but also not weird, it's something that happens because of genetics or something, in "second class" or otherwise knowns as "people who were born from a japanese parent and a foreign" one. And this shows in that you lose the classical "japanese eyes" but sometimes only partially

But what do i know

Anyways, i talked about the WW2 thing here some time ago

Very honestly, the V day is not a celebration on the US because they know it was not their win. But still claim it to be in some cringe ways, It's all over the place

Lots(most) of people in the US think the US single handedly won WW2

[shaberon]

Lots(most) of people in the US think the US single handedly won WW2


They might.


Maybe it is just very detached. I just haven't noticed anyone at all that either says anything about Ukraine, or, the opposite, such as about how ridiculous sanctions are. Actually I was just told Russia has nothing to do with the price of gas. I had to say everything has to do with the price of gas because it is a market, and perception will set the price as much as physical factors.

The people who care seem to consist of:


British Nazis hate Russia, the country and resources, and American ones have picked this up

Supremacists hate Russia, the people, for being multi-ethnic and mixed

The Catholic Church hates Orthodoxy, the church of Russia


Those are the hateful motives I have been able to figure out so far. I might just be fortunate that I am not surrounded by hateful people. I will bet a tooth that is still attached to my head that these three things describe the vast majority of what is going on.

A livestream update still in progress from The Duran, with a ton of intelligent commentary and informed speculation: :thumbsup:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaOhHD1p3xQ

Edit to add:
Gonzalo Lira joins the livestream 30 minutes in. (Gonzalo did an excellent interview (https://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=251630) with Stott Ritter yesterday, posted here (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?114491-WW3-Ukraine-US-vs.-Donbass-Russia&p=1491132&viewfull=1#post1491132).)

Another edit:
This is a long one... 4 hours and still going. I'm only a couple of hours in (listening while multitasking!), but the discussion is the very highest quality and (to me) it's more than fascinating.
I'm learning more about global finance, national economics, geopolitics, international diplomacy and European history from these guys than I ever could by reading any mainstream articles or listening to any politician. :)

On Antiwar Radio this week, Scott interviews Colonel Douglas Macgregor. Macgregor has recently been appearing on talk shows across the political spectrum, drawing on his deep experience as an officer and war planner to argue that Washington must prioritize peace in Eastern Europe. His arguments have drawn criticism from establishment lawmakers and their media allies who instead want to focus on hurting Russia. Macgregor lays out why this is a mistake and what Washington can do instead to bring about a quick end to this war. He also gives his account of where the war stands today. He argues that, despite what western media says, Ukraine has suffered a near-total defeat.
Discussed on the show:
“Is There A Path To Peace In Ukraine?” (The American Conservative)
“Inside the Pentagon’s Fight Over Russia” (Politico)
Douglas Macgregor, Col. (ret.) is a senior fellow with The American Conservative, the former advisor to the Secretary of Defense in the Trump administration, a decorated combat veteran, and the author of five books.

Partnering with neo-Nazis in Ukraine: an inconvenient history
ANTIWAR DOT COM·MARCH 31, 2022

This article was originally published at Antiwar.com by Ted Snider

Volodymyr Zelensky defeated Petro Poroshenko in the 2019 election on a platform that included making peace with Russia and signing the Minsk Agreements. The Minsk Agreements would have granted a degree of autonomy to the Donetsk and Lugansk regions of the Donbas that had voted for independence from Ukraine after the 2014 US backed coup put a government in power that was handpicked by the US and that was pro-West and anti-Russian. It was intense pressure from the far right wing ultra-nationalists that bent Zelensky from a Minsk backer into the shape of a Minsk rejecter. Under that pressure from neo-Nazi parties that have large power that is disproportionate to their small support, Zelensky abandoned his campaign peace promise and refused to talk to the leaders of the Donbas and implement the Minsk Agreements.

Those ultranationalist organizations, including Svoboda Party and the Right Sector, during the 2014 coup, again cast a shadow much larger and darker than their popular support. They commandeered and reshaped the peaceful protest. They rejected the peaceful settlement that would have called for a ceasefire and early elections. Several lines of evidence now strongly suggest that the snipers in the February 20, 2014 massacre that sent the protests spinning toward civil war were not government forces but members of the ultranationalist insurgency. And it was they who occupied the government building and forced the elected president to flee Ukraine.

After the coup, those neo-Nazi forces would brutally spearhead the fight against separatist forces in the Donbas. They were in a position to lead the fight because the most famous of them, the Azov Battalion, had been officially incorporated into the Ukrainian National Guard. These ultranationalists had become, not only, as Richard Sakwa says in Frontline Ukraine, “a legitimate part of the Maiden [protest]” and “the new normal of Ukrainian state development,” they had become an official part of the Ukraine military.

They would become an official part of Ukraine government too. Sakwa says that several core ministerial positions in the Ukrainian coup government were taken by the Right Sector and Svoboda, both openly neo-Nazi parties, including top national security, defense and legal posts. The deputy prime minister and the minister of justice were both members of Svoboda. Andriy Parubiy, one of the founders of Svoboda with what Sakwa calls “a long history of ultra-nationalist activism” became secretary of the National Security Defense Council. Sakwa calls Parubiy’s appointment “astonishing.”

Stephen Cohen, who was Professor Emeritus of Russian studies and politics at Princeton, in an article on Ukraine called “America’s Collusion With Neo-Nazis,” says that the coup government in Ukraine has systematically rehabilitated and memorialized Ukrainian Nazi Germany collaborators. Among the Nazi collaborators memorialized by the government of Ukraine is Stepan Bandera who allied with the Nazis and committed atrocities against Jews, Poles and Russians. Sakwa reports that “a giant portrait of Bandera was . . . on the stage during the Maidan protests.”

Stepan Bandera and the less known Mikola Lebed were prominent members of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN). In 1940, the OUN split, and Bandera became the leader of the more radical OUN-B faction. The Bandera OUN allied with the Nazis. And though the alliance may have been formed primarily on the opportunity to establish a Ukrainian state, Bandera’s OUN proved to be very willing collaborators.

According to Sakwa, “Bandera espoused a virulent form of integral nationalism, an exclusive and ethnically centered definition of the Ukrainian nation, accompanied by the murderous denigration of those who allegedly undermined his vision, notably Poles, Jews and Russians. . . .” Bandera’s forces would participate in the mass killings of those people.

In Covert Regime Change, Lindsey O’Rourke cites the July 1941 OUN-B declaration that Jews “have to be treated harshly. . . . We must finish them off. . . . Regarding the Jews, we will adopt any methods that lead to their destruction.” She says that “In the days following the German invasion, OUN-B troops launched pogroms throughout East Galacia, killing an estimated 12,000 Jewish civilians.

The OUN-B and others would later join into the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) to fight for Ukrainian independence from both the Russians and the Nazis. To realize their dream of an ethnically exclusive nation, O’Rourke says they “engaged in widespread terrorism, mass killing, and ethnic cleansing amongst the Polish, German, Soviet, and Jewish populations in the region.” Their call was “Long live greater independent Ukraine without Jews, Poles and Germans: Poles behind the San, Germans to Berlin, Jews to the gallows.” OUN-A leader, Mikola Lebed declared, according to O’Rourke, that they should “cleanse the entire revolutionary territory of the Polish population.” And they tried. “In the first half of 1943, UPA partisans . . . murdered about 40,000 Poles in Volhynia.”

But why would anyone get the idea today, among Putin’s perhaps exaggerated claim about denazifying the Ukrainian government and forces, that the US and its allies would partner with neo-Nazi elements in Ukraine in order to fight the Russians or bring about regime change in Russia? Because they have.

Between Bandera and Lebed’s Nazi collaboration and the ultranationalist hijacking of the 2014 coup is a less told story of US and UK collaboration with Bandera and Lebed’s OUN to fight the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

In September 1947, US intelligence encountered a group of Ukrainian partisans in Germany. In Safe for Democracy, CIA expert John Prados says the Ukrainian Supreme Liberation Council had ordered the partisans to go west “in order to get the attention of the Allied intelligence services.” It worked. And there began the top-secret story of the covert marriage between the US and UK and the Ukrainians who had collaborated with the Nazis in their Cold War fight against the Soviet Union.

Even earlier, in 1946, Prados reports, the Soviets had demanded the extradition of Stepan Bandera. But in an operation code-named “Anyface,” US intelligence protected him even though they were in possession of information that potentially implicated him as a war criminal.

The US and UK would then each choose a partner. After the initial US help, the UK would go on to work with Bandera and the OUN-B; the US would work with Mikola Lebed, the chief of the security branch of the OUN-B.

In Legacy of Ashes: the History of the CIA, Tim Weiner says that “Nightingale was the code name of a Ukrainian resistance force [Secretary of Defense] Forestal had authorized to carry out a secret war against Stalin. Its leaders,” he says, “included Nazi collaborators who had murdered thousands of people. . . .” A 1947 US Counter Intelligence Corp. (CIC) report already notes the “close connection with the Bandera movement.”

According to O’Rourke, in February 1947, Lebed “approached the CIC about the possibility of collaboration.” The CIC agreed, and, according to Weiner, the CIA smuggled Lebed into the US, telling US immigration officials that Lebed was “rendering valuable assistance to this Agency in Europe.”

As was the case with Bandera, the CIA was not ignorant of Lebed’s past. Weiner says, “The agency’s own files described the Ukrainian faction led by Lebed as a ‘terrorist organization’.” And they knew Lebed had allied with the Nazis. “The Justice Department,” Weiner reports, “determined that he was a war criminal who had slaughtered Ukrainians, Poles, and Jews.” They even attempted to deport Lebed, but Allen Dulles intervened, telling the federal immigration commissioner that Lebed was “of inestimable value to this Agency.”

A top-secret April 1948 CIA report to the National Security Council quoted by O’Rourke would outline the proposed Cold War collaboration with the ultranationalist Ukrainian Nazi collaborators and suggest “their possible value to the US Government for the purposes of propaganda, sabotage and anti-Communist political activity.”

That operation would go on to receive the code name “Operation AERODYNAMIC” and would be launched by the CIA in 1948. O’Rourke quotes the CIA’s Frank Wisner as saying that “In view of the extent and activity of the resistance movement in Ukraine, we consider this to be a top priority project.” She cites a CIA document acquired under the Freedom of Information Act that reveals operational plans for “the exploitation and expansion of the Ukrainian resistance movement” for “political and psychological warfare [and] resistance and guerilla warfare.”

Operation Aerodynamic was a failure, or “ill-fated and tragic,” as the CIA called it.

The story of the OUN’s Nazi collaboration during World War II and the story of the ultranationalist role in the 2014 coup and the subsequent Ukrainian military and government have been told, though rarely by the mainstream media. But chronologically between those two events is the much less told story of the US and its allies partnering with Ukrainian ultranationalist Nazi collaborators to fight against the Soviet Union in the Cold War.

Why would anyone believe that the US and its allies would collaborate with ultra-nationalists in Ukraine to fight the Russians? Because they have.

Colbert Calls For Biden To Slap Reporters:

5-SSPMOvfkk
Stephen Colbert earned his comedic bona fides by sending up the rich and powerful, perhaps most famously eviscerating the press to their faces from the lectern at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in 2006. But now, as Colbert’s knee-jerk impulse to defend Joe Biden and Democrats becomes more evident every day, the once-great comedic mind has been reduced to yet another sh*tlib protecting his preferred wing of the oligarchy.

[Bill Ryan]

This is a 17 minute personal update from Alex Christoforou (one of the two The Duran (https://www.youtube.com/c/TheDuran/videos) presenters), on his own channel. (https://www.youtube.com/c/AlexChristoforou/videos)

The main topic he reports on was also discussed on The Duran's epic 4-hour video a few hours ago (see post #1925 (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?114491-WW3-Ukraine-US-vs.-Donbass-Russia&p=1491263&viewfull=1#post1491263) above, when they were joined by Gonzalo Lira. This is the apparently urgent and frantic Ukrainian helicopter evacuation attempts to rescue a few besieged soldiers from Mariupol who were evidently of very great importance.

The attempts failed. One helicopter was allowed to load up its evacuees and was THEN shot down with everyone apart from a couple of people killed. As Alex Christoforou states, there are videos out there which show all this in some gruesome detail.

The fascinating and important question is who these people were. There are rumors swirling around that these were NATO troops, a US or UK SpecOps unit (like the Green Berets or SAS), or even senior US or NATO commanders.

No doubt the truth will emerge in the next few days, even if as well-confirmed rumors, but rumors still. In the earlier 4-hour podcast, the three presenters speculated that because this is so incendiary (if NATO or the US were involved on the ground), both the Russians and the US would co-operate to cover this up so that the war did not escalate into WW3.

The rest of the video is about whether the US can serenade India into not supporting Russia (using threats, always the best way to coax a nation to be friendly!), and finally about Latvia canceling the letter 'V' as well as the letter 'Z'. (No, not an April fool's joke. They're really, actually doing this.)

From Gerald Celente and his Trends Journal.

Scott Ritter, the former Marine and U.N. weapons inspector who the New York Times called “the loudest and most credible skeptic of the Bush administration’s contention that Saddam Hussein’s government was hiding weapons of mass destruction," sat down with Gerald Celente for a candid interview about the Ukraine War.

Celente said the interview provides “some of the most important, enlightening, passionate, truthful, informative insights that open-minded people will want to watch.”

“Ritter provides unique information and insights that Trends Journalsubscribers who want to know and need to know what's going on, and what's next won't want to miss,” he said.

EFpKmbjhuk0The interview starts with a lengthy section in which Scott Ritter presents a summary of his career. At one point, he breezes past a quick moment when he describes how he was stationed as a weapons inspector in Russia for a two year period, which he said was "eye-opening". Then he quickly moved on, ending up talking about the history of the problems in Ukraine and the current military situation there. It was quite a monologue.

At 25:05, Scott Ritter comes to a halt, and after joking with him that he's already answered all his questions, Gerald Celente — who is clearly a better interviewer than I'd thought — is inspired enough to ask him in what way his two years in Russia as a weapons inspector was "eye-opening".

Wow. Folks, YOU MUST LISTEN TO THIS PART if you possibly can.

His answer is about 10 mins long and worth every gold-plated second. It's one of the strongest pro-human, anti-war polemics I've ever heard, straight from the heart. It's emotional, but at the same time totally grounded, coming from someone whose attitudes were forged by hard-ass Marine Corps training.

It totally stopped me in my tracks and compelled me to make this post. I can't possibly recommend those 10 minutes too highly.

Deep fog in this.

It has been said there were up to five helicopters, and questioned as to why they should be attacked with Stingers.

There are survivors, who give partial information at least of each one possibly carrying fourteen or fifteen people. At least two occupied ones were decisively shot, one without survivors. It may be possible that one or two escaped.

One helicopter went down near Rybatskoye. The crew and passengers were found dead. The helicopter was tentatively identified as Mi-8MSB, tail number 864, of the Poltava 18th Aviation Brigade. The second one went up in smoke but continued on its way. Reports are now coming in that the landing site of the second helicopter has been found. There are three survivors from the crew and passengers of the second helicopter.

Most of the rat commanders in Syria were American, British, and French. They work together although it also seems like they are doing separate things.


At the moment it appears that the very fountain of violent hate is most deeply lodged in the British government, excerpting the header of a larger article from Lucas Leiroz (https://southfront.org/uk-working-against-peace-in-ukraine/) from Brazil:

According to The Times, Britain is “concerned” that the US, France, and Germany will pressure Ukraine to “settle” quickly and make significant concessions during the recent peace talks with Russia. An anonymous senior British government source reportedly said there were concerns that other Western countries were “eager” to secure a peace deal as soon as possible, encouraging Kiev to accept all Russian-imposed conditions.

Here is what the map of the area of operations looks like today:


http://dxczjjuegupb.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Map-on-April-first-1024x882.jpg


The yellow circle is roughly the area where the outcome of this battle will be decided.



The small black arrow represents the likely Ukrainian effort to send in reinforcements



The big black arrow represents the move away from Kiev and towards the Donbass by Russian forces

Speaking about maps: while they do, more or less, show the military reality on the ground, they do not show the political realities the same way. The truth is that there are plenty of towns and cities which are blocked/surrounded by Russian forces, but which are still run by the “old”, Nazi, authorities. Yes, the Russians could go in and denazify these town and cities manu militari, but that would take time, results in casualties on both sides and ruin the civilian infrastructure. And the Russians sure don’t want, say, Kharkov to become a 2nd Mariupol.

EFpKmbjhuk0The interview starts with a lengthy section in which Scott Ritter presents a summary of his career. At one point, he breezes past a quick moment when he describes how he was stationed as a weapons inspector in Russia for a two year period, which he said was "eye-opening". Then he quickly moved on, ending up talking about the history of the problems in Ukraine and the current military situation there. It was quite a monologue.

At 25:05, Scott Ritter comes to a halt, and after joking with him that he's already answered all his questions, Gerald Celente — who is clearly a better interviewer than I'd thought — is inspired enough to ask him in what way his two years in Russia as a weapons inspector was "eye-opening".

Wow. Folks, YOU MUST LISTEN TO THIS PART if you possibly can.

His answer is about 10 mins long and worth every gold-plated second. It's one of the strongest pro-human, anti-war polemics I've ever heard, straight from the heart. It's emotional, but at the same time totally grounded, coming from someone whose attitudes were forged by hard-ass Marine Corps training.

It totally stopped me in my tracks and compelled me to make this post. I can't possibly recommend those 10 minutes too highly.

Bill, I was not going to listen to the 10 minutes, I was tired and cranky, but I forced myself and I am glad I did: as you say this man is a 'Mensch', as the German say, a humanitarian being who wants to coexist with people peacefully, so sad isn't it all this bloodshed and hatred, all this evil amidst our western society.

The New World Order that is being prepared under the pretext of war in Ukraine
(https://www.voltairenet.org/article216293.html)
by Thierry Meyssan

The conflict in Ukraine was not opened by Russia on February 24, but by Ukraine a week before. The OSCE is a witness to this. This peripheral conflict had been planned by Washington to impose a New World Order from which Russia, then China, were to be excluded. Don’t be fooled!

U.S. President Joe Biden called his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, a "butcher". Then he said, "For God’s sake, this man can’t stay in power. The State Department tried to downplay these statements by assuring that President Biden was only talking about exercising power over Russia’s neighbors, but he did not specify where Russia would exercise such power.

Russia’s military operations in Ukraine have been going on for more than a month and Nato’s propaganda operations for a month and a half.

As always, the war propaganda of the Anglo-Saxons is coordinated from London. Since the First World War, the British have acquired an unparalleled know-how. In 1914, they had managed to convince their own population that the German army had carried out mass rapes in Belgium and that it was the duty of every Briton to come to the rescue of these poor women. It was a cleaner version of Kaiser Wilhelm II’s attempt to compete with the British colonial empire. At the end of the conflict, the British population demanded that the victims be compensated. A census was taken and it was found that the facts had been extraordinarily exaggerated.


https://www.voltairenet.org/local/cache-vignettes/L400xH300/216256-2-2-e9846.jpg?1648544418
President Zelensky declared war on Russia by ordering the Banderist troops incorporated into his army to attack Russian citizens in the Donbass from February 17. Then he waved the red rag in front of the political leaders of NATO member countries and declared that he was going to acquire the atomic bomb in violation of international treaties.


This time, in 2022, the British managed to convince the Europeans that on February 24 the Russians had attacked Ukraine to invade and annex it. Moscow was trying to reconstitute the Soviet Union and was preparing to attack all its former possessions in succession. This version is more honorable for the West than evoking the "Thucydides trap" - I will come back to this -. In reality, Kiev’s troops attacked their own population in Donbass on the afternoon of February 17. Then Ukraine waved a red rag in front of the Russian bull with President Zelenski’s speech to the political and military leaders of Nato gathered in Munich, during which he announced that his country was going to acquire nuclear weapons to protect itself from Russia.

Don’t believe me? Here are the OSCE readings from the Donbass border. There had been no fighting for months, but the observers of the neutral organization observed 1,400 explosions per day as of the afternoon of February 17. Immediately, the rebel provinces of Donetsk and Lugansk, which still considered themselves Ukrainian but claimed autonomy within Ukraine, moved more than 100,000 civilians to protect them. Most retreated to the interior of Donbass, others fled to Russia.

There have been videos on telegram, taken by the Ukronazis themselves, showing them using "PRESS" helmets & labels on civilian vehicles to get around.

There are also vids of them using ambulances too.

Looks like there aren't any depths they won't go to.





Still not clear how many helicos went into Mariopol to get nazis out, even the two survivors one channel covered differed, one said four, the other who was a crew member said five, but from what they said it could have been four transports & one gunship...

An interesting development seems to be that two French special forces guys were there, hence Macrons interest & putting his oar in ? They also seem to have recovered some odd emblems too, Maroc & a couple of other African countries...more mercs ?

I kind of got sick of so much war info, it took me down now :) Just too much death and side vs side and if you go look into the western media it makes you sick beyond any kind of normal thing you could consider a healthy brain can produce, there is something very broken in those brains, some kind of mental corruption that i can't find words to describe right now

Have you heard this song? The US politicians remind me of that old style family still trying to hold into their golden memories and glory, sad and decadent, and unable to understand their time is gone and that they need to let go and let the new people take over
AYSbztCCTlA

The US top level government is that old guy in a wheelchair with his golden paper crown, dreaming of past glories while his world decays and crumbles around him

I feel sad just thinking about it


https://twitter.com/zlj517/status/1510236853668302848

[Mashika]

Something tragic, but also funny in a way, or ironic, i don't know, is that the decadent dinosaurs in US gov made the young American kids into dumb uneducated fools so they could control them better and in that way remain in power and have no one rebel or reject that control.

So now they have a zombie army that soon will have to take over and they (these zombies) won't be able to do anything to keep the ship floating, it's going to sink to the very bottom because their parents and their government made useless idiots out of them

And that's sad and ironic and other things in several ways. Shooting yourself in the foot in a way that will go into the history books is not fun at all i guess, lol

And the EU has some suicidal need to follow the Dodo somehow, how long until people realises the emperor has no clothes?

The next State of the Union address may be a series of TikTok shorts... lmao!

At one point, he breezes past a quick moment when he describes how he was stationed as a weapons inspector in Russia for a two year period, which he said was "eye-opening".

At 25:05, Scott Ritter comes to a halt, and after joking with him that he's already answered all his questions, Gerald Celente — who is clearly a better interviewer than I'd thought — is inspired enough to ask him in what way his two years in Russia as a weapons inspector was "eye-opening".

His answer is about 10 mins long and worth every gold-plated second. It's one of the strongest pro-human, anti-war polemics I've ever heard, straight from the heart. It's emotional, but at the same time totally grounded, coming from someone whose attitudes were forged by hard-ass Marine Corps training.

It totally stopped me in my tracks and compelled me to make this post. I can't possibly recommend those 10 minutes too highly.

Totally understand how he feels, that's also why i stopped thinking of "Ukrainian blood, or xxx-country blood" and instead just think of it like "living being blood", it does not matter who the person is/was or where they were born, and that's something that made me just walk away one day, because it's unbereable to realise and think about it constantly until your head and heart is saddened in ways that can't be described easily, or at all

It takes away the old/pure naive smile on your face and replaces it with a facade of a happy person, it can be seen in the mirror every morning, and in the eyes

Illustrates how war is not our nature.
-Mind control is used big time to get wars going
-We're all human no matter where we live. We all want to just live and let live.



Well, S. Ritter snapped out of the illusion.

War or aggregate violence definitely is an everyday fact of human nature. It is rather that Empire, traceable to Sargon of Akkadia, is artificial, therefor illusionary.

All of what is really western aggression that is going on here is artificial, illusory, a Big Lie.

It is a different thing than a hammer still being the most common murder weapon here in the U. S. It is different from small wars contesting local territories that are a matter of survival. Money, trade, and politics makes possible a new level of vice that is not really part of the basic everyday person.

Mind control, thought control, information control, etc., is a major part of the way this is done, but I would suggest that there are a great many who simply are of violent nature apart from this. So for example, next year, maybe we can snap the illusion of some guy so that he stops hating or seeking war with Russians, and even so he might turn around and abuse his own family.

For the most part, the whole Cold War mentality is wrong as in it is incorrect. It is ludicrous to think of Russia as some kind of territorial threat--which is actually posed by my neighbors and government. If there is a real threat, I become defensive, and so at some level, war or violence is fairly normal. In my lifetime this immediate threat has become far worse. No one used to lock their doors. You were, sort of, "free", I think, certainly compared to now. I am just different because I do not hide behind locked doors, if something happens, I will put a stop to it.

Welcome to Phase Two.

I am not sure what to make about the flight of African Nazis. It sounds like French Foreign Legion. I suppose a lot of death squads have been run in these countries, but, exactly why they would want to visit Mauriopol at this time is beyond me. Oh well. Final Destination. This itinerary's over. Poltava airfield and its helicopters are not even there any more. Greek and Italian train workers refused to load new weapons shipments. What else could go wrong next? Anything made of Lies probably will.

Poltava airfield and its helicopters are not even there any more. Greek and Italian train workers refused to load new weapons shipments. What else could go wrong next? Anything made of Lies probably will.

There's such a conviction with people that have served in the military and now are against war of any kind. Ken O'keefe, Tulsi Gabbard, Oliver Stone, Jesse Ventura come to mind.

I'm of the belief that we're born innocent into a corrupted world. And that no human's nature is war like. But people can be corrupted to become this way.

Of the many correspondents and commentators out there I have just the most enormous admiration for Patrick Lancaster. Without his indisputable bravery we really may not know, at all, what the situation looks like for the citizens in Donbass. Following his extraordinary footage on the ground is as close to being there as one could possibly imagine.

Here is some very emotional footage, from Mariupol, where he and his team have been for quite some time now.

On March 31, the chief of Russia’s radiation, chemical and biological protection force, Igor Kirillov, gave a news briefing about documents that had been seized by Russian forces in eastern Ukraine, including correspondences between Hunter Biden and figures involved in biological research in Ukraine, who were financed by his investment firm, Rosemont Seneca.

The documents revealed an intent to create a “Central Depository of Especially Dangerous Microorganisms in Kyiv,” according to Russian MoD spokesperson Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, as well as ways to distribute biological agents via drone.

By TASS NEWS AGENCY
March 31, 2022

The Russian Defense Ministry has made public a list of persons involved in creating components of biological weapons in Ukraine.

The chief of Russia’s radiation, chemical and biological protection force, Igor Kirillov, told a news briefing that one of the key figures was Robert Pope, the Director of the US Defense Department’s Cooperative Threat Reduction Program at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (also known as the Nunn-Lugar program – TASS).


https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faf9cbfef-b804-44f7-aabe-6aab036a1549_1256x702.png (https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faf9cbfef-b804-44f7-aabe-6aab036a1549_1256x702.png)


“Pope authored the idea of creating a central depository of high-threat pathogens in Kiev,” Kirillov said.

He pointed out that “in his letter to Health Minister Ulana Suprun (a US citizen – TASS) Pope spoke highly of her activities. “In particular he emphasized her role in providing US specialists with access to Ukrainian biological facilities and the beginning of efforts to form a depository of microorganisms.”

“Let me remind you what this kind of activity led to: according to the available evidence all pathogenic biomaterials were removed from the depository at the beginning of February 2022 and taken by a US military transport plane to the United States via Odessa,” Kirillov said.

LIST OF OFFICIALS
Kirillov said that Joanna Wintrol, the head of the DTRA office in Ukraine, was responsible for coordination of military biological projects in the country and for personnel selection.

“Under her guidance several projects (UP-4, UP-6 and UP-8) were implemented. They envisaged research into deadly pathogens, such as anthrax, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever and leptospirosis,” he said.

Kirillov drew attention to the Ukrainian branch of the Black & Veatch company and its chief Lance Lippencott, the main contact person for Ukraine’s defense and health ministry officials. “The company has worked for the Pentagon since 2008 under projects for studying potentially hazardous bioagents, including project UP-1 for studying rickettsia and tick-borne encephalitis virus in arthropods in northwestern Ukraine. For the purpose of global control of the biological situation in the course of the UP-2 project the company introduced a system of remote monitoring of tularemia and anthrax at Ukrainian bio-facilities,” Kirillov said.

He stressed that “Black and Veatch activities aroused many questions even from Ukrainian special services.” In particular, the Kherson office of the Ukrainian security service SBU back in 2017 noted growing potential risks of a worsening in the epidemiological situation due to the DTRA’s intention to use the Black and Veatch company to establish control of Ukrainian laboratories studying the pathogens of particularly dangerous infections.

The supervisor of biomonitoring and information transfer, David Mustra, acted in close coordination with Metabiota – another contractor working for the Pentagon.

“Earlier, Mustra coordinated military-biological projects in Ukraine and Eastern Europe under the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program,” Kirillov said.

He stressed that Metabiota was well-known for its research into forecasting outbreaks of infectious diseases. Also, the Pentagon used its services for modeling the epidemiological situation in the post-Soviet space.

“Metabiota’s representative in Ukraine was Mary Gutierrez – its vice-president and Hunter Biden’s confidant, which is confirmed by their correspondence,” Kirillov said.
Lastly, Scott Thornton was responsible for the laboratories’ upgrade.

“Also, he (Thornton) provided advice to local personnel regarding the handling of high-threat pathogens under the DTRA’s Ukrainian projects. The obtained evidence indicates the direct involvement of the US Department of Defense and of its contractors in planning and implementing the Pentagon’s projects in Ukraine. We believe that the aforesaid executives are obliged to answer questions concerning the real purpose of these works,” Kirillov said.

TRANSCRIPT OF KIRILLOV VIDEO
The incoming materials make it possible to trace the interaction pattern between US government agencies and Ukrainian biological objects.

It’s remarkable that structures close to the current US leadership, in particular the investment fund, Rosemont Seneca, headed by Hunter Biden are involved in the financing of these activities.

The fund has significant financial resources in the amount of $2.4 billion.

At the same time, the fund is closely connected to the main contractors of the US Department of Defense, including Metabiota, which, along with Black & Veatch is the main supplier of equipment for Pentagon biological laboratories around the world.

The scale of the program is impressive. In addition to the DoD, the US Agency for International Development (USAID), the George Soros Foundation, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are directly involved in its implementation.

Scientific supervision is carried out by leading research organizations, including the US National Laboratory in Los Alamos, which develops nuclear weapons as part of the Manhattan Project.

All this activity is carried out under the full control of the Pentagon.

Well, there are a lot of factors at play. Ritter and those others were exposed to modern warfare, which is an unusual beast based on the conquest of property.

I was a non-violent kid. But I was entranced by symbols of wealth such as mansions, limousines, and yachts, and by extension, war machines. And so I would have mindlessly supported any U. S. and "Allied" war efforts because of this materialism.

The "snapping out of it" that I did by means of revulsion leads me more to "conflict is the enemy" which is the Russian strategy.

And so what would it mean to be "against war" or "unwarlike" when you can watch your neighbor swell up with personnel and weapons intended to be used against you?

"Prevent or avoid" this conflict was 1991 which Joe Biden agreed to.

The issue of self-defense is about as violent and warlike as anything else, but it works differently. Whereas total pacification of a populace is a means of militarily dominating it. The main issues that were discussed in the conversation about distorted political and racist animosity, yes, of course, it is exactly that we are trying to defend against or remove. It may be unnatural and undesirable but most emphatically it responds to nothing but force.

Many many thanks to all of you for your stunning contributions here. Really :flower:

Of the many correspondents and commentators out there I have just the most enormous admiration for Patrick Lancaster. Without his indisputable bravery we really may not know, at all, what the situation looks like for the citizens in Donbass. Following his extraordinary footage on the ground is as close to being there as one could possibly imagine.

Here is some very emotional footage, from Mariupol, where he and his team have been for quite some time now.

Mr Lancaster either knows what he got himself in, or he will realize many years later.
I pray for this man and everyone I see in the videos.
He has this PTSD look in his eyes, it's either that or he has a slight autism spectrum.
Whatever the case, not many people could keep it up as he does, I thank him deeply for what he is doing.

The use of simple national identities in conversations about this ( and other ) situations is misleading.

There are at least 2 "Americas" involved in the Ukraine situation right now, for example. There were at least 3 "Americas" involved in the heat of the Iraq situation a decade ago. They were even competing, fighting and killing each other.

It sounds complicated, I know, and it IS, but it's the real state of things when you drill down into it.

Statement in full issued here: https://t.me/s/MFARussia/12230



Statement by the Russian Defence Ministry ⚡️

The Russian Defence Ministry denies accusations of Kiev regime of allegedly killing civilians in Bucha, Kiev Region

Facts 👇

❗️All the photos and videos published by the Kiev regime allegedly testifying to some "crimes" committed by Russian servicemen in Bucha, Kiev region are just another provocation.

During the time that the town has been under the control of the Russian armed forces, not a single local resident has suffered from any violent action. Russian servicemen have delivered and distributed 452 tonnes of humanitarian aid to civilians in Kiev Region.

For as long as the town was under the control of the Russian armed forces and even then, up to now, locals in Bucha were moving freely around the town and using cellular phones.

The exits from Bucha were not blocked. All local residents were free to leave the town in northern direction, including to the Republic of Belarus. At the same time, the southern outskirts of the city, including residential areas, were shelled round the clock by Ukrainian troops with large-calibre artillery, tanks and multiple launch rocket systems.

❗️We would like to emphasise that all Russian units withdrew completely from Bucha as early as March 30, the day after the Russia-Ukraine face-to-face round of talks in Turkey.

Moreover, on March 31, the mayor of Bucha, Anatoliy Fedoruk, confirmed in a video message that there were no Russian servicemen in the town, but he did not even mention any locals shot in the streets with their hands tied.

👉 It is not surprising, therefore, that all the so-called "evidence of crimes" in Bucha did not emerge until the fourth day, when the Security Service of Ukraine and representatives of Ukrainian media arrived in the town.

It is of particular worry that all the bodies of the people whose images have been published by the Kiev regime are not stiffened after at least four days, have no typical cadaver stains, and the wounds contain unconsumed blood.

❗️All this confirms conclusively that the photos and video footage from Bucha are another hoax, a staged production and provocation by the Kiev regime for the Western media, as was the case in Mariupol with the maternity hospital, as well as in other cities

[related] - here's a particularly good historical conversation which I watched this weekend just passed featuring Stephen F. Cohen, another very knowledgeable source on international policy and Russia. Many of his insights dovetail with other more recent commentators.

Just over an hour, lucid, and sometimes amusing I'd recommend him as another trusted authority.

Stephen F. Cohen: The Ukrainian Crisis - It's not All Putin's Fault (Recorded in 2015)

Description

Why Cold War Again?

Stephen F. Cohen, Professor Emeritus, Russian Studies and Politics, New York University and Princeton University; Contributing Editor, The Nation

In conversation with Dr. Gloria Duffy, President and CEO, The Commonwealth Club

The consensus view in Washington and in the U.S. mainstream media is that the Ukrainian crisis, which some have called the worst international crisis of our time, is due solely to Russian aggression under President Vladimir Putin. Stephen F. Cohen’s view, on the other hand, is that U.S. policy since the 1990s is largely responsible, and that unless this is acknowledged at least in part by Washington, no successful negotiated end to the crisis will be possible.

Professor Cohen’s Soviet Fates and Lost Alternatives: From Stalinism to the New Cold War and his The Victims Return: Survivors of the Gulag after Stalin are now in paperback. Come hear the provocative views of this influential and noted Russian scholar.

BUCHA MASSACRE? A UKRAINIAN FALSE FLAG?

Bucha is the latest shiny object that the Western cats are chasing mindlessly without taking time to think critically about what Russia is actually doing on the ground. Russia’s invasion on February 24 was not a classic military attack. What do I mean? If Russia was intent on conquering and subjugating Ukraine without regard to the fate of Ukrainian civilians it would have launched massive missile and airstrikes on all major cities, bridges, airfields, railroads and communication systems. It did not do that. Not my opinion.

The first phase of Russia’s special military operation consisted of the following:

Moved troops and armored columns into Ukraine from three directions–North, East and South.
Deployed only 200,000 troops while maintaining key reserves inside Russia along the Ukrainian border against a Ukrainian Army estimated to number 600,000.

Avoided attacking communication systems leaving cell phone and internet largely intact.
Took control of the largest nuclear power plant in Europe–Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant–but kept the electricity flowing.
Supported offensives by the Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republics against Ukrainian forces in the East.
Gradually surrounded Kiev from the North but did not fight any key battles to occupy outlying cities.
Destroyed Ukrainian ground radar, key airfields and military bases in Western Ukraine with precision missiles.
Sealed the southern coast of Ukraine with the Russian Navy.
Launched an assault on Mariupol, a key Ukrainian port in the South, and systematically annihilated the neo-Nazi AZOV battalion (Russia now controls all of Mariupol except for the steel plant and continues to methodically eliminate the remaining defenders).

The immediate effect of this operation divided and froze the Ukrainian Army in four geographical regions-North, South, East and West. During the first two weeks the Ukrainians and NATO did not know where Russia’s major blow would fall. Russia’s initial success in eliminating Ukraine’s Air Force as a combat effective unit and the destruction of key military bases and fuel depots made it impossible for Ukraine to dispatch reinforcements to Donbas and Mariupol.

During the past week Russia has effected a tactical redeployment of forces that originally surrounded Kiev. It is reported that those units moved west and are likely to be used as block force that will be part of a broader effort to defeat the bulk of the Ukraine Army now virtually surrounded in the eastern part of the Donbas.

With its limited ability to move troops or resupply frontline forces, Ukraine is relying on propaganda and information warfare to try to weaken Russia and entice NATO to join the fray. Here is a good summary of these efforts courtesy of Nighvision:

For instance when the Russian POW torture video came out, it was Ukraine that cried “fake” until days later all western ‘authorities’ were forced to admit it was real.

When the ‘maternity hospital’ falseflag in Mariupol occurred, Kiev supporters blamed Russia and once again Russia was the one proven right and vindicated when the pregnant girl at the center of it herself released an interview completely refuting Ukrainnian lies, and stating that not only did Ukrainian soldiers turn the hospital into a barracks but stole the precious food from pregnant women and then shelled the hospital themselves.

When Ukrainie claimed Russia bombed an ‘innocent’ civilian mall, yet the very next moment the Russian MOD released detailed videos showing precisely how Ukrop forces positioned mobile artillery in the parking garage of the said ‘mall’.
When Ukrops claimed Russia tried to blow up the Zaporizhzhia plant, yet security footage showed that as a Russian security force arrived, it was fired upon by an RPG from Ukrop positions in one of the administrative buildings of the plant.
When the famed American journalist was killed in Irpin right outside Kiev a month ago, and all Ukrainian supporters shouted Russia, but the entire incident was quickly swept under the rug when the journalist’s own friend/companion in an interview stated they were fired upon by Ukrop troops at a Ukrop checkpoint miles away from the nearest Russian forces.
Early in the war many in the West were scammed by the story of a remarkable Ukrainian allegedly downing seven Russian combat planes. It too was a lie:

In one widely shared video, the Ghost of Kyiv chases down a Russian plane and then shoots it out of the sky. In Ukrainian, a voice says: “There’s a plane. There’s another one. It’s about to crash.”

This is a sequence from the video game Digital Combat Simulator World. “This footage is from DCS, but is nevertheless made out of respect for the ‘Ghost of Kiev,'” the person who uploaded the video to YouTube on February 24 writes, using an alternate transliteration for Ukraine’s capital. “If he is real, may God be with him; if he is fake, I pray for more like ‘him.'” A spokesman for Digital Combat Simulator World has confirmed to the Reuters news agency that the material is indeed from the game.

A video report from Gonzalo Lira demonstrates beyond doubt that Ukraine is staging propaganda videos showing the alleged destruction of Russian tanks. The smoking tank hulls are actually Ukrainian vehicles. Propaganda BTFO

This brings us to the latest “atrocity” Ukraine insists was carried out by Russia–Bucha, a suburb of Kiev. Here is The Guardian’s account:

As Ukrainian armoured columns rolled into Bucha, a town north-west of the capital, they found streets blocked by burned-out Russian tanks and military vehicles, and strewn with the bodies of civilians whom locals said had been killed by the invading forces without provocation.
Here’s the problem. Bucha was declared ‘completely liberated’ of Russian troops by its mayor on Thursday, March 31. The dead lying in the streets are all wearing a white arm band, which is worn by Ukrainians to signal to Russian troops they are not backing the Ukrainian Army.

If the city was liberated on 31 March why are the bodies still lying in place three days later? Why were they not gathered up by grieving relatives? This report is having the predicable effect in the West–pundits and politicians are demanding a NATO military response. Russia is not fazed by this latest propaganda barb; it is calling for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to present evidence refuting the charge.

One final point, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told Fox News’ Bret Baer that the Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion has “fully integrated” with the Ukrainian military

Ian Miles Cheong@stillgray Bret Baier asked Zelensky about Azov Battalion’s shooting of Russian POWs. Zelensky’s answer? “They are what they are.” Zelensky also claims that some were prosecuted after 2014 and given prison sentences. He doesn’t mention that those convictions were overturned.

There you have it–a President who is a Jew supporting a neo-Nazi military unit that wants to rid Ukraine of Jews. If you want to read more about Azov go here.

Witchhunt in Ukraine against journalists, activists and left-wing politicians

Many journalists, these days, prefer to remain anonymous in Ukraine. And from some of them now comes this story:

One of the most well-known and popular journalists in Ukraine was yesterday arrested by the officers of the Security Service of Ukraine. Unfortunately, the dramatic situation in our country is being used for “cleansing” of opponents, in gross violation of all legal and juridical procedures.

Yuriy Tkachev is a journalist from Odessa, Ukraine, editor-in-chief of the online magazine https://timer-odessa.net/.

He was very critical of the former and also the current Ukrainian government for its policies afterwards the Maidan, and especially regarding the “Odessa massacre of May 2, 2014” and “Shootings on the Maidan”, whose investigations were stalled, postponed for many years and until today not concluded, among others.

Yesterday, on 19 March 2022, he was in his flat in Odessa when, at about 7:00 a.m., he was arrested by Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) officers, who during the search found, in the words of his wife, “an explosive and a hand grenade”, allegedly belonging to Yuriy Tkachev, in the bathroom of his flat.

Yuriy Tkachev’s last message, just before he opened the door to the SBU agents, at 6:34 a.m. on his personal Telegram group, reads: “They came for me, it was a pleasure to talk”.

The facts were first published by Human Rights Defender Oksana Chelyasheva: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008135108849.

The facebook post reads:

“Important!

All claims that Yuriy Tkachev opened a new channel on Telegram afterwards after his alleged release from the SBU are false. I was able to contact Yuriy’s wife, Oksana. She said that Yuriy is being interrogated by the SBU, and she did not have the opportunity to get into her husband’s accounts, because all computers and mobile phones were in the hands of the SBU. The lawyer is not allowed to see Yuriy. Oksana said that they really need support for the dissemination of the facts”.

According to her, when Yuriy opened the door of the flat, he did not put up any resistance. Despite this, the SBU dragged him into the hallway of the portal, laying him face down. Oksana was also asked to leave the flat. No violence was used against her.

Oksana claims, that through the open entrance door she saw how one of the SBU officers entered the bathroom and stayed there for several minutes. In this same bathroom, in a few minutes the SBU would “discover” a “grenade and a TNT bomb”, Oksana said.

After this man came out of the bathroom, the SBU officers took Yuriy and Oksana back to the flat, where the register began. At the same time, they forced Yuriy to take off his clothes, only allowing him to get dressed again before they took him away.

Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the representatives of the right wing and nationalism, including several well-known intellectuals, began to call for violence and even murder of those who publicly supported the Minsk Agreements, those who protested against “de-communisation” (the official policy of the Ukrainian state to erase any traces of communist ideology in the country) and the political settlement of the conflict in Donbass. The first targets of the attacks were left-wing groups.

Blacklists appeared. And some “left-wing activists” started to collaborate in making lists of those on the “wrong left”.

On March 3, in the city of Dnepr (former Dnepropetrovsk, from which the part “Petrovsk” was removed years ago as “Russian”, as it historically refers to the Tsar Peter the Great), the members of the SBU with the participation of the neo-Nazis of the paramilitary group “Azov” arrested the militant of the Ukrainian left-wing organisation “Livytsia”, Aleksandr Matiushenko. He was charged under article 437 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine with “participation in the aggressive war”. As the courts do not function in Ukraine at the moment, by decision of the prosecutor, he is detained for 30 days without trial. Details of the legal case are not known, because SBU only presents it to the lawyer. Most of the lawyers refuse to defend him, so as not to be accused of being “agents of the enemy” or ask for their services for US$3000, a very large sum for Ukraine today.

On the same day in Dnepr, 12 more people were arrested on similar charges. On 4 March, 14 people were arrested and on 5 March, 11 people.

In Kiev, the arrests started even earlier. On 27 February, the brothers Mikhail and Aleksandr Kononovich, leaders of the Communist Youth of Ukraine, ethnically Belarusian, were arrested. Where they are and what they are accused of is unknown. All communication with them has been lost.

On 4 March, Vladimir Ivanov, a left-wing activist from the city of Zaporozhie, disappeared. His whereabouts remain unknown. His Telegram account contains posts that are clearly not his.

They arrest political opponents, representatives of the Church who have been fighting for peace all these years and anyone with critical opinions.

On 4 March in the city of Lutsk, SBU arrested Oleg Smetanin, violinist of the Volyñ regional philharmonic, accusing him of handing over to Russia information about the Lutsk airport.

On 7 March in Kiev, the well-known journalist Dmitry Dzhanguirov, a member of the “Novyi Sotcialism” (“New Socialism”) party, Vasily Volga, former leader of the Union of Left Forces, journalist Yury Dudkiny, writer Aleksandr Karevin, who wrote on his FB page: “The SBU has arrived”, were arrested. On Dzhanguirov’s FB page a video was posted, where he probably says things under torture that he would never say. Where they are and what they are accused of is not known. Where are the human rights defenders of the world, it is not known either.

On 9 March, near the town of Khmelnitsk, Oleg Pankartiev, assistant to a deputy of the opposition party “OPZZH (Opposition Platform for Life)”, was arrested. During the arrest he was brutally beaten and is still detained by SBU.

On 10 March in Kiev, Dmitry Skvortsov, a peace activist of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, was arrested, he only managed to write on the internet that the SBU came for him. On the same day, in Kiev, 70-year-old poet Yan Taksiur, who had his programme on the youtube channel “Pervuy Kazatskuy”, dedicated to the political persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church by the government, was arrested. Neither their whereabouts nor the accusations against them are known.

On 11 March in Kharkov, left-wing activist Spartak Golovachiov disappeared. The last thing he managed to write on social media was: “They are breaking down my door armed with Ukrainian uniforms. Goodbye.” Fighting continues in Kharkov, but most of the city remains under Ukrainian control.

Also on 11 March in Odessa, SBU detained Elena Viacheslavova, the daughter of Mikhail Viacheslavov, burned alive by the Nazis on 2 May 2014, in the Odessa House of Trade Unions.

The whereabouts of several members of the left-wing parties “Novyi Sotcialism” (“New Socialism”) and “Derzhava” (“Power”) are also unknown. They stopped answering calls and disappeared from the networks. It is possible that they are in hiding or are already in detention.

On 12 March SBU detained Elena Lysenko, the wife of Donetsk volunteer Andrey Lysenko. On 13 March she was released, but afterwards she was forced to record a video, where she had to slander her husband.

On 13 March in a village near Odessa, nationalist villagers burned down the house of Dmitry Lazarev, a left-wing activist.

On 15 March, SBU detained Artiom Khazan, a representative of the Shariy Party in the town of Alexandria of the Kirovograd region. During the arrest he was severely beaten. The next day, a video appeared on social networks, in which Khazan slandered the party chairman Anatoli Shariy. The current whereabouts of Artiom Khazan are unknown.

On 16 March, in the village of Tomashevka in the Kiev region, an armed commando kidnapped Guennady Batenko, a priest of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, the next day he was released from the SBU.

On 19 March in the town of Krivoi Rog, the Ukrainian military entered the house and detained Yury Bobchenko, chairman of the trade union of Ukrainian steelworkers and miners of the Arcelor Mittal Krivoi Rog company, which belongs to a transnational group.

This information is still very incomplete. In the midst of the war and with the total power of many armed groups in the country, it is very difficult to collect information and registers of all the horror that is going on. We do not know whether there are dozens or even hundreds of detainees. But it is clear that with each new day of fighting, the repression against dissidents, pacifists and left-wing activists will continue to grow. The media show their usual complicit indifference. An urgent campaign of global solidarity is needed.

Despite the Ukrainian constitution, on 20 March President Volodymyr Zelensky banned all left-wing and opposition political parties, there are 11 of them:

– “Oppozitsion naya platform azazhizñ (Opposition Platform For Life)”.
– Partiya Sharia (Shariy Party)”.
– Nashi (Ours)’.
– Oppozitsionny iblok (Opposition Bloc)’.
– Levaya oppozitsia (Opposition of the Left)’.
– Soyuzlevykh sil (The Union of the Forces of the Left)”.
– Derzhava (The Power)”.
– Progressivanaya sotsialisticheskaya partiya Ukrainy (Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine)”.
– Sotsialisticheskaya partiya Ukrainy (Socialist Party of Ukraine)”.
– Partiya Sotsialisty(Party of Socialists)”.
– Blok Vladimira Saldo (Vladimir Saldo Blok)’.
The official reason for this ban: “contacts with the Russian Federation”. As if there was anyone in Ukraine without any contacts in Russia!

Today, as part of the war policy in Ukraine, officially banned Belarusian medicines. The Ukrainian government has been waging a war against the sick and pensioners for years now, and now it seems that they are finally about to win…

Also today the inhabitants of the Kiev region were forbidden to go to the forest without special permits. It is not clear whether this is to prevent them from fighting against the Russians on their own, or from forming new guerrilla groups with unpredictable political orientation, or from escaping from their homes under fire and/or compulsory conscription to go and fight for NATO interests.

Meanwhile, hundreds of videos appear on Ukrainian social networks, of how in different corners of the country, hungry and stressed people take out their anger and frustration on thieves or alleged thieves or would-be thieves, of both sexes, who are seen tied to poles and trees with their trousers down, and sticks at their side as tools for the willing executioners. Ukraine, which only a few weeks ago looked like a Colombia of Europe, now, with the war, quickly turns into a medieval Europe.

Here are a few excerpts about the current situation from a long interview with Sergey Glazyev (https://thesaker.is/events-like-these-only-happen-once-every-century-sergey-glazyev/). It begins by tracing the root of the problem to British colonialism, and carries it forward to the statement that the U. S. intentionally released Wuhan coronavirus as a weapon. That is not what this is about. It is about the death of the New World Order. Well, one of the ingredients which would help it is One World Currency, which is not going to happen because:


We are currently working on a project for an international treaty on the introduction of a new world settlement currency pegged to the national currencies of the participating countries and to exchange commodities that determine real values. We won’t need American and European banks. A new payment system based on modern digital technologies with blockchain is developing in the world, where banks lose their importance. Classical capitalism based on private banks is fading away. International law is being restored. All key international relations, including the issuance of world currency circulation, begin to form on the basis of agreements. At the same time, the significance of national sovereignty is being restored, because sovereign countries are coming to an agreement.


So there is not a "dominant dollar"--just a specialized kind of settlement currency described below), which is not of value within individual countries. Just a means of facilitating trade, with many balancing factors. Concerning the Fascist program:


The second scenario of a possible development of events is similar to the one that Hitler wanted to realize during the period of the change of previous world economic structures. This is an attempt to create a world government with a superhuman ideology. If Hitler conceived the German nation as superhumans, then the current ideologists of world domination impose on humanity the transition to a post-humanoid state. In contrast to the post-humanism of the West, the core countries of the new world economic order are characterized by a socialist ideology, albeit with respect for private interests, protection of private property and the use of market mechanisms.


It is different for Western politicians, intellectuals and businessmen. What we see today is an attempt to form a certain image of a new world order with a world government at the head, where people are driven into an electronic concentration camp. You can see by the example of restrictions during the pandemic how it happened: all people are given tags, access to public goods is regulated through QR codes, everyone is forced to walk in formation. By the way, in the scenario of the Rockefeller Foundation back in 2009, the pandemic and, in fact, everything that happened in connection with it, was amazingly sorted into pieces – they actually predicted the future. This scenario was called Lock Step, that is, “Walk in formation”, and the Western world followed it. Sacrificing their own democratic values, they try to force people to obey commands. International organizations, including the World Health Organization, are used as a kind of stronghold for assembling a world government that would be subordinate to private capital.

But, I must say, Donald Trump greatly interfered with these plans, because he stopped the signing of agreements on Transatlantic and Trans-Pacific partnerships, where all countries participating in the agreements sacrificed national sovereignty in all disputes with big business.

It must be understood that the option of a world government is incompatible with sovereign Russia, with our independence and role in the world.





So the idea is full legal protection of the sovereignty of individual countries. Well, Russia's Central bank is a state agency, but, its directors are too hooked on serving the policies of the IMF, so they effectively become a sixth column. Correspondingly, there is the idea to dissolve the IMF tentacles so that such "pressure" does not do the job of "legal control":


We have been doing this for a long time as a group of scholars. 10 years ago, at the Astana Economic Forum, we presented the report “Toward sustainable growth through a fair world economic order” with a project for the transition to a new world financial and monetary system, where we proposed to reform the IMF system based on the so-called special drawing rights, and on the basis of a modified IMF system – to create a worldwide accounting currency. By the way, this idea aroused great interest then: our project was recognized as the best international economic project. But in a practical sense, none of the states, represented by the official monetary authorities, was interested in this project.


...the common currency is formed as an index, as a weighted average component of these national currencies. Well, to this we must add, from my point of view, commodities: not only gold, but also oil, and metal, and grain, and water. A sort of commodity harness, which, according to our estimates, should include about 20 goods. They, in fact, form world price proportions and therefore must participate in the basket for the formation of a new accounting currency. And an international treaty is needed, which will determine the rules for the circulation of this currency and create an organization like the International Monetary Fund. By the way, 15 years ago we proposed reforming the IMF, but now it is already obvious that a new monetary financial system will have to be built without the West.


There are other interesting facts, like only about one out of five new U. S. dollars actually enters the real economy, whereas about 90% of Chinese Yuan get there. There is some kind of "heavy unknown", i. e. some kind of legal and banking cover-up taking place in Ukraine that even Russians don't suggest to identify. Disrupting it may be bad news for western economies in some way that none of us have any idea about.


We have representatives who "plead the fifth" about biolaboratories strewn around the globe, as well as about their own preposterous fake films like Bucha, which ought to cause these agencies to never be believed again by anyone. At least Biden didn't believe it. The UK is really the main source of the world's problems, which they happen to be accustomed to projecting through the relatively dumb US, much like an evil master and his simpering sycophant.


If the United Nations were to function in any useful way at all, I agree it has to have those two protections:

respects sovereignty and cannot enforce one government or law through WHO or any other means

cannot make one currency and the IMF is greatly diminished or entirely replaced


This apparently is being handled for us at this time. As to the smoldering carcass of Empire and how to properly convert it to fertilizer, I for one am particularly de-motivated. Would just as soon abandon it. I am feeling a bit cornered by Totalitarianism, which, like the expansion of NATO, there are only a limited number of warnings to give. Principles of limitations are the basis for the U. S. Constitution, which has been legally dodged, making us resemble the UK, one of the few countries that does not even have a Constitution.

If you cannot follow the principles of preventing this stuff from ever happening in the first place, it will happen.

“Our guys are actively storming the Azovstal metallurgical plant, where the remains of the militants of the national battalions have found shelter. In this footage, we can see a tactical quadrocopter inspecting the territory, identifying the enemy firing positions. Among other things, our fighters noticed a sniper crawling on the roof of one of the buildings, who, having been discovered, made a doomed attempt to escape. Without thinking twice, the Chechen fighters decided to eliminate the target," Kadyrov said.

According to Ukraine (https://www.ninefornews.nl/?zoeken=Oekra%C3%AFne) , the Russians have caused a massacre in the Ukrainian city of Butya. Images have surfaced from Butsha of dead civilians on the streets and in makeshift graves.

The president of the Duma, the Russian House of Representatives, has labeled the reports of the massacre as a propaganda stunt by Washington and Brussels. “The US and the EU are the directors and screenwriters and the Ukrainians are the actors,” said Viacheslav Volodin.

The Russian Investigative Committee has also launched proceedings for the dissemination of what it calls 'presumably false reports' about murders of civilians in Butya. Chief of the investigation committee Alexander Bastrikin has ordered the judiciary to criminally assess the provocation on the part of Ukraine.

Exactly the same

Journalist Alejandro Kirk of teleSUR (https://youtu.be/z207WkNftgE) spoke in Donetsk in eastern Ukraine with human rights expert Maxim Grigoriev, who is investigating war crimes and crimes against humanity in Donbass.

Grigoriev saw in Syria how the so-called White Helmets made fake news. “This is exactly the same,” he told Kirk. The human rights expert noted that the images of the massacre were taken four days after the Russian withdrawal.


Clip-on

“The bodies were fresh. After four days, the blood looks different, the bodies look different and changes occur in the skin,” Grigoriev emphasized. “For a professional, it's cut-and-dried.”

“Those people weren't killed four days before that,” he said. “I think the Ukrainians killed those people for the purpose of making fake news. It could also have been a Ukrainian artillery attack.”

Three new short clips from Col. Douglas Macgregor. Not about the military situation, but much more about the politics and geopolitics.

There's nothing radically new here for readers who've been following all this closely, but for anyone unfamiliar with what's REALLY happening, Macgregor is very concise, clear and aware.

Putin, Xi Open To 'Direct Talks' With Zelensky As Pentagon Fails To Confirm Russian Involvement In Bucha Killings

Following months of badgering by the Europeans to take a more active role in stopping the conflict in Ukraine, President Xi is reportedly considering one-on-one talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky (what would be the first round of direct talks between the two since the invasion began) following a round of lower-level talks.

Meanwhile, the Kremlin telegraphed on Tuesday that it would also be open to direct talks between Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin, but only if the two sides could first agree on a formal document outlining terms.



According to Bloomberg, Foreign Minster Wang Yi expressed a desire for China to take a more active role in cease-fire talks (as the Europeans have been begging Beijing to do) during a meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba (the meeting marked their first exchange since March 1).

However, Wang made no new commitments about mediating the conflict.

Wang noted that Xi had "comprehensively expounded" on the need for dialogue and peace talks, but the Chinese diplomat made no new commitments toward mediating the conflict. "China does not seek geopolitical interests, nor will it watch the event from a safe distance while sitting idle, or add fuel to the fire," Wang said.

In a tweet about the meeting, Kuleba said he was "grateful" for his Chinese counterpart, and insisted that they both "share the conviction that ending the war against Ukraine serves common interests of peace."


Following Xi’s video summit on Friday with European Union leaders, a senior Chinese Foreign Ministry official said a call between the Chinese and Ukrainian leaders has “always been on the agenda.”

Meanwhile, as the Europeans bandy about a proposal for more sanctions on Moscow (including a ban on coal imports) in response to (again, alleged) brutality in Bucha, the Kremlin denounced the allegations about "atrocities" in Bucha as an attempt to smear the Russian Army. Although the Kremlin declined to comment on the progress of peace talks, it didn't outright reject the possibility of a meeting.

KREMLIN SAYS WE DON'T REJECT POSSIBILITY OF A PUTIN-ZELENSKIY MEETING BUT IT'S ONLY POSSIBLE ONCE A DOCUMENT HAS BEEN AGREED
KREMLIN DECLINES TO COMMENT ON PROGRESS OF TALKS WITH UKRAINE KREMLIN SAYS ACCUSATIONS AGAINST RUSSIA OVER EVENTS IN BUCHA ARE WITHOUT FOUNDATION
KREMLIN SAYS THIS WAS CLEAR ATTEMPT TO SMEAR RUSSIAN ARMY
KREMLIN SAYS THIS WAS A MONSTROUS FORGERY
KREMLIN SAYS RUSSIAN INITIATIVES BEING BLOCKED IN UNITED NATIONS BUT WE WON'T REMAIN IDLE
KREMLIN SAYS WE KNOW NEW SANCTIONS AGAINST RUSSIA ARE POSSIBLE, AMERICANS NOT LIKELY TO STOP 'FAVOURITE PRACTICE'
KREMLIN, ASKED ABOUT BIDEN SAYING PUTIN SHOULD BE TRIED FOR WAR CRIMES, SAYS THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND UNWORTHY OF A U.S. PRESIDENT
KREMLIN SAYS EXPULSIONS OF RUSSIAN DIPLOMATS ARE REGRETTABLE, SHORT-SIGHTED, WILL INEVITABLY LEAD TO RECIPROCAL RESPONSE BY MOSCOW
KREMLIN SAYS RUSSIA IS NOT IN A RUSH TO SWITCH PAYMENTS IN ROUBLES FOR ALL EXPORTS
KREMLIN SAYS SUCH PROCESS SHOULD BE GRADUAL AND WELL-PREPARED
Finally, as the Europeans and Washington try to stoke international outrage over what President Biden described as "war crimes" in Bucha, Reuters pointed out Tuesday that even the Pentagon couldn't confirm Moscow's involvement.

Per the report, the US military "is not in a position to independently confirm Ukrainian accounts of atrocities by Russian forces against civilians in the town of Bucha" - although it has no obvious reason to dispute the account, either. One official who spoke anonymously called the images of the alleged atrocities "deeply troubling."

The Kremlin, meanwhile, has vociferously denied allegations of Russian involvement in the atrocities, denouncing them as a "monstrous" forgery.

Zelensky Rejected German Security Proposal Before Russian Invasion



Berlin’s plan called for Ukraine to renounce NATO membership and agree to neutrality
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected a proposal from German Chancellor Olaf Scholz just days before the Russian invasion. The February 19 offer called on Kyiv to renounce its NATO aspirations and declare neutrality.

At the time, Zelensky rejected the security plan saying Russian President Vladimir Putin could not be trusted to uphold the agreement. Under Berlin’s plan, Putin and American President Joe Biden would sign the deal and jointly guarantee Ukraine’s security.

The Wall Street Journal, which initially reported the proposal, said that Zelensky rejecting the offer "left German officials worried that the chances of peace were fading."

The day after the meeting, French President Emmanual Marcon appealed to Biden in a call between world leaders to make another push for diplomacy. "I think the last person who could still do something is you, Joe. Are you ready to meet Putin?" Macron said to Biden. However, Washington appeared uninterested in a push for diplomacy.

While the full details of the German offer are unknown, it appears similar to proposals Zelensky has outlined in recent weeks. Ukraine’s top negotiator David Arakhamia said Russia had "verbally" agreed to several of Kyiv’s positions. On Sunday, Russia’s top negotiator Vladimir Medinsky said the two sides are not close enough to an agreement for a meeting between Putin and Zelensky. “The draft agreement is not ready for submission to a meeting at the top,” the Russian chief negotiator said.

Zelensky Rejected German Security Proposal Before Russian Invasion




The German proposed deal would have allowed the 'NATO' covert infrastructure inside Ukraine to remain in place and functional. You have to wonder who's really been pulling Zelensky's strings in recent times.
