Translated Text:
Experts suggest that such a tiny little spoon, which you can neither stir tea with nor eat jam, is called a snuffspoon. It’s a spoon for cocaine.
And common sense suggests that this is how one simultaneously decisively and fearfully hides either cigarettes at 14 from mom or cocaine at 47 from the public.

Zelensky & Europe Give Putin Ultimatum / Lt Col Daniel Davis (20:55)
Quote:
19 hours ago
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the head of four European countries issue a shocking ultimatum to Russia today. If Putin does not accept the demand of an unconditional 30 day ceasefire by Monday, the Western countries will impose significant new sanctions on Russia. Why this is exactly supposed to make Russia frightened, 'forcing peace' on them, as Zelensky claims, is unclear.
Ultimatum? Shmultimatum more like :) :ROFL:
Dear oh dear, these entities huh....

“There is a war going on, and Russia is offering talks. Anyone who wants peace cannot oppose this.”
~~~
An important observation made by Alexander Mercouris starting at 1:18:52 in his video update for today:Putin has now used the word 'war' for the first time.
[...]
Maybe after the rejection of the latest proposal for talks, the Russians will move and upgrade the Special Military Operation into something more serious which might allow them more leeway to expand their military operations in Ukraine.
[...]
The use of the word 'war' by Putin in carefully prepared written comments, a word that has been repeated in the readout transcript provided by the Kremlin, suggest that something like a major Oreshnik missile strike might indeed be on its way.
Re: WW3? Ukraine/US vs. Donbass/Russia
Zelensky has replied:
The text:We await a full and lasting ceasefire, starting from tomorrow, to provide the necessary basis for diplomacy. There is no point in prolonging the killings. And I will be waiting for Putin in Türkiye on Thursday. Personally. I hope that this time the Russians will not look for excuses.

:thumbsup: Fascinating article, although riddled with inaccuracies which I may bother to share and deconstruct here although there are several hundred posts on this thread which debunk the 'fluff' in the article already. If this is an accurate recall of what was really going on in US-Ukrainian battle plans behind the scenes in Wiesbaden then US co-belligerence is now openly on record along with reinforcement of the mindset of US-UK commanders and politicians. (We already know about British Project Alchemy malarkey of course, and hare-brained Kursk adventures).

Article written by Adam Entous
"Adam Entous is a former staff writer for The New Yorker, known for his coverage of intelligence, national security, and foreign affairs."
This says a lot in itself imo (ie mainstream journalist)
I asked chat gpt about the Biblioteca Pleyades and here's the first couple of sentences:
"The website Biblioteca Pleyades is an extensive online repository that curates a wide range of materials related to alternative theories, including UFOs, ancient civilizations, suppressed technologies, New Age spirituality, and global conspiracies. It presents itself as a "Virtual Library" aiming to collect and share information from various sources, often focusing on topics outside mainstream academic and scientific discourse."
So then I asked "Who runs it?"
"The ownership of Biblioteca Pleyades is not publicly disclosed. The domain was registered on July 2, 2003, and is set to expire on July 2, 2030. The registrant's information is redacted for privacy, and the domain is registered through TUCOWS DOMAINS INC. The website is hosted by Aruba S.p.A., an Italian hosting provider, and utilizes DNS services from Technorail and ArubaDNS.
Website Informer
Due to the lack of publicly available information about the site's ownership, it's challenging to determine who is responsible for its content. The site does not provide an "About Us" or "Contact" page that offers insights into its administrators or contributors.
Given the anonymity of its ownership and the nature of its content, it's advisable to approach the information presented on the site with a critical mindset. For academic or factual research, consulting peer-reviewed journals and reputable sources is recommended."
And lastly, "So how can I post an article on it?"
"As of now, Biblioteca Pleyades does not appear to offer any public or transparent way for individuals to submit or post content directly to the site. Here's what we can deduce:
1. No Submission Portal
The site lacks a user registration system, contributor login, or a "Submit an Article" page.
There’s no visible editorial board or contributor guidelines.
2. Content Sourcing
Most of the content appears to be reproduced from external sources—books, articles, other websites, or known figures in fringe/alternative circles (e.g., David Icke, Zecharia Sitchin).
It’s likely curated by the unknown site owner(s), who select and publish material that aligns with the site's themes.
3. Contacting the Site
While there is no clear “Contact Us” page, some archived versions of the site or specific pages might include contact email addresses embedded in articles or footers.
People interested in contributing may have historically reached out informally via such contact points, if they existed.
Summary
You can’t simply post on Biblioteca Pleyades like a blog or forum. The content is likely curated manually, and contributions would have to be solicited or submitted via private contact—assuming such contact is even possible.
Would you like help locating a contact method (if any exists) for the site?"
. . .
I left it there.
With all that we read and hear these days, it's wise to take a critical view and keep it for reference, and also even if repeated elsewhere many time, doesn't make something true - as those of us who follow the UFO information well know. :chuckle:

Re: WW3? Ukraine/US vs. Donbass/Russia
In his video update for today, Alexander Mercouris argues at quite some length that on Thursday, in Istanbul, the Russians will indeed fly in their delegated team of skilled negotiators. But they will find no Ukrainians to meet them there.
I'm not fully convinced about that, and Mercouris himself guesses this is merely the most likely outcome rather than a slam-dunk inevitability. But it's an interesting prediction nonetheless. Only 3 days to wait and see. :)

Jacques Baud is in many ways one of my most favourite of the many talking heads out there.
For anyone at all interested in his analyses his article from May 2022 saved to the library is a must read primer. Concerning the SVO: in reality it was the Armed Forces of Ukraine that 'started' this current iteration, on February 16th that year:
[Extracts]
Let’s try to examine the roots of the [Ukrainian] conflict. It starts with those who for the last eight years have been talking about “separatists” or “independentists” from Donbass. This is a misnomer. The referendums conducted by the two self-proclaimed Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk in May 2014, were not referendums of “independence” (независимость), as some unscrupulous journalists have claimed, but referendums of “self-determination” or “autonomy” (самостоятельность). The qualifier “pro-Russian” suggests that Russia was a party to the conflict, which was not the case, and the term “Russian speakers” would have been more honest. Moreover, these referendums were conducted against the advice of Vladimir Putin.
In fact, these Republics were not seeking to separate from Ukraine, but to have a status of autonomy, guaranteeing them the use of the Russian language as an official language–because the first legislative act of the new government resulting from the American sponsored overthrow of [the democratically-elected] President Yanukovych, was the abolition, on February 23, 2014, of the Kivalov-Kolesnichenko law of 2012 that made Russian an official language in Ukraine. A bit like if German putschists decided that French and Italian would no longer be official languages in Switzerland.
This decision caused a storm in the Russian-speaking population. The result was fierce repression against the Russian-speaking regions (Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov, Lugansk and Donetsk) which was carried out beginning in February 2014 and led to a militarization of the situation and some horrific massacres of the Russian population (in Odessa and Mariupol, the most notable).
---
In 2014, when I was at NATO, I was responsible for the fight against the proliferation of small arms, and we were trying to detect Russian arms deliveries to the rebels, to see if Moscow was involved. The information we received then came almost entirely from Polish intelligence services and did not “fit” with the information coming from the OSCE [Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe]—and despite rather crude allegations, there were no deliveries of weapons and military equipment from Russia.
The rebels were armed thanks to the defection of Russian-speaking Ukrainian
units that went over to the rebel side. As Ukrainian failures continued, tank, artillery and anti-aircraft battalions swelled the ranks of the autonomists. This is what pushed the Ukrainians to commit to the Minsk Agreements.
---
However, let us remember that there were never any Russian troops in the Donbass before 23-24 February 2022. Moreover, OSCE observers have never observed the slightest trace of Russian units operating in the Donbass before then. For example, the U.S. intelligence map published by the Washington Post on December 3, 2021 does not show Russian troops in the Donbass.
---
At the same time, there were reports of sabotage in the Donbass. On 18 January, Donbass fighters intercepted saboteurs, who spoke Polish and were equipped with Western equipment and who were seeking to create chemical incidents in Gorlivka. They could have been CIA mercenaries, led or “advised” by Americans and composed of Ukrainian or European fighters, to carry out sabotage actions in the Donbass Republics.
In fact, as early as February 16, Joe Biden knew that the Ukrainians had begun intense shelling the civilian population of Donbass, forcing Vladimir Putin to make a difficult choice: to help Donbass militarily and create an international problem, or to stand by and watch the Russian-speaking people of Donbass being crushed.
If he decided to intervene, Putin could invoke the international obligation of “Responsibility To Protect” (R2P). But he knew that whatever its nature or scale, the intervention would trigger a storm of sanctions. Therefore, whether Russian intervention were limited to the Donbass or went further to put pressure on the West over the status of the Ukraine, the price to pay would be the same. This is what he explained in his speech on February 21.
On that day, he agreed to the request of the Duma and recognized the independence of the two Donbass Republics and, at the same time, he signed friendship and assistance treaties with them.
The Ukrainian artillery bombardment of the Donbass population continued, and, on 23 February, the two Republics asked for military assistance from Russia. On 24 February, Vladimir Putin invoked Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, which provides for mutual military assistance in the framework of a defensive alliance.
In order to make the Russian intervention seem totally illegal in the eyes of the public, Western powers deliberately hid the fact that the war actually started on February 16. The Ukrainian army was preparing to attack the Donbass as early as 2021, as some Russian and European intelligence services were well aware.
---
Much has happened since then of course, but, this man knows his stuff.
In fact why not print out that article (downloadable and printable of course) in the library and plonk it in front of anyone open-minded enough to want to understand how in the heck we got here.
Thanks for the link to the video - I'll try and check this out later :thumbsup:

Keith Kellogg is one of the two men - along with Steve Witkoff - that Donald Trump has sent to Istanbul talks.
This morning on Fox, he proposed a ceasefire that will involve Russia retreating, a Coalition of the Willing contingent, and a "closing of the skies" over Kiev-controlled territories. And more sanctions.
I hear the season's already started on Turkey's famed Mediterranean resorts. Still time for Mr Kellogg to book a leisurely seaside stay for later this week
