    • The Rage Against The War Machine Rally In D.c. Could Bring Back The Anti-war Movement In America:

    Yesterday in Munich we also had a big anti-war rally. I actually visited 3 Demos, one pro heavy weapons and Ukraine, which was next to the Munich Security Conference - maybe 2000 people attending (and some politician shills hopping over from the Conference to speak on the Demo stage), then a leftist anti-Nato demo mixed with some YPG followers, maybe 5000 people, and then one from I'd say people that also protested lockdowns etc. with around 30.000 people, which had a great vibe.

    Exclamation Re: WW3? Ukraine/US vs. Donbass/Russia

    • Journalist Takes Down A Story About War In Ukraine In Just 8 Minutes:
    Why is the United States trying to provoke a war with Russia? “Ukraine is the Deep State. Ukraine isn't even a country anymore. It has been bought and sold by the West and a Western puppet has been installed to serve its Western masters,” said journalist Pearson Sharp of One America News.

    President Zelensky is not the leader of Ukraine, but an actor hired to play a role, Sharp said, adding that Washington is using the country to launder money and make bioweapons.

    The biolabs the media doesn't want to talk about really exist, Sharp points out. The top-secret labs, where the most dangerous nuclear and chemical weapons on Earth are kept, were taken over by the United States in the 2000s. In the years that followed, top secret research was conducted in those labs. President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, among others, played an important role in this.
    • Biden's War In Ukraine To Cover Up Illegal Deep State Operated Bioweapons Research Facilities:

    • Biden Crime Family
    Russia has previously sounded the alarm about these labs and the biological and chemical weapons that are being made there on behalf of the Biden crime family, Sharp says.

    The Russians were right. Documents show that in November 2019, the US Department of Defense invested nearly $400,000 in Covid-19 research conducted in Ukrainian biolabs. At that time, there was no talk about Covid-19.
    • We finance our own demise
    Our tax money is not going to Ukraine to fight for their freedom, but to fund the Deep State's bioweapons, Sharp emphasizes. “We fund our own downfall and are called traitors when we resist.”

    “Big Pharma, the mainstream media, the Deep State in Washington, Zelensky and the WHO are all working together to cover up their crimes. Not Russia, but our own government is the bad guy.”

    Thank you Gwin Ru.

    It is not for me to comment on this letter about operational readiness (and strategic idiocy). It is almost fifty years ago now that I did my military service in Germany (amongst other things reluctantly guarding American missiles). We liked the Soviet "inspections" that had been agreed on and which mainly consisted of one of those well-polished adorably clumsily styled black Soviet limousines driving by once in a month in front of the barracks. A few years after my service the Belgian army switched to professional only and amply 90 p.c. of my same-age “friends” began to look at me compassionately (“what a moron”) when I said that this was the beginning of Belgium turning fascist.

    However, I am adding these few lines only to state that I am not a French spy and have no business or other interests in the Leclerc tanks. Leclerc (“the cleric”) is just a frequent name in France. Still, the comrade-in-arms of De Gaulle who general Leclerc was and after whom the tanks were named, was thought to be related to my grandfather’s family – if you read the Wikipedia entry you will understand that this was an unwarranted claim – but that priding themselves was probably just for local use in Belgium – and in order to find some relief for the loss of my father’s younger brother and Resistance fighter, "disappeared" when the German concentration camp had to evacuate all prisoners, the Soviet army approaching within a few kilometres.

    • Levels of Denial, Ignorance, Overt and Subconscious Imprinting. We see the Truth and recognize the power of words in our lives and our responsibilities to the lives of all caught in the clutches of conflict...

    A long time anti-war activist at Sunday's Rage Against War demonstration compares ignoring the reality of war profiteering as being akin to "climate denial". WTF ?

    I also just heard a 2018 First Nations Experience, FNX, comedy broadcast with some hilarious indigenous comedians doing their funny and insightful sets, ending with Jimmy Dore doing his....Very good, attacking both sides of the UniParty filled with democons and the repugnants.

    Then Jimmy brings out his ignorance on what is really happening with the Earth's climate. He makes the analogy of denying war profiteering with "climate denial", a phrase that those who READ beyond the globalist, whorish narrative does not fit as an honest assessment of the reality we are now facing on this planet, at this time. With a weakening global magnetic field, the cyclical perturbations of OUR star now at hand and the super kinetic pulse emanating from the galactic core, you'd think that a guy so well informed on one subject would actually read, or watch a few videos. But Nooooo.....righteous is as righteous does.

    It's a reminder to step back, when we think we know something well, and reassess who benefits from any governmental intrusion into anyone's personal finances by imposing dictatorial mandates that Begin at creating and controlling a story that is doomed to be dishonest and ultimately one that will result in the loss of personal and professional freedoms.

    If this is an emotional issue, as many issues must be if we are to maintain any opposition to them while offering clear and positive resolutions, we, I in particular as any individual, should dissect the narrative that compels that emotion. The good thing is that once recognized in it's most subtle and manipulative forms, we are now equipped to recognize all other inhumane narratives that are presented to us.

    We question the wording.....What? "Social" distancing, not "Physical" distancing that still makes no airborne sense, when 6 feet does nothing to stop the spread of any airborne contaminant?

    Does that mean that I can't even email someone half way across the world, as that too would bridge any social distance, the distance supposedly needed to prevent contracting a viral pathogen? On a real world scale the word "social" was the intent of the creators of the plandemic.

    They knew that saying "physical" distancing would not have the same effect on getting people to be sheepishly compliant with injuring themselves and pressuring fellow humans to do the same, irregardless of the ignorance of the orders, the mandates, the social shaming. They expected that any and all humans should "socially distance" themselves from anyone who questioned the lies, the deadly media pathogenic lies, that did so much damage to so many billions of people on this little planet.

    Well, we are used to this dystopian disconnect with reality, where zealots connect their honest impressions with the evil intents of war mongers to yet another globalist program that, in stark contrast to an obvious inhumane action, are but another misdirect founded entirely on controlling humans and nature itself. We are used to this lack of conscious discovery that does not question the difference between blatant genocide and the manipulation of science to serve a corporate takeover of all that humans need to thrive and survive.

    We've seen one subject being talked about very directly, openly, honestly....All the while adding in a warning that we should recognize for the lie it is, of that speaker hiding something that may be more dark than the one you talk about now. It's all out now, and sooner or later you won't be able to hide what you know. You cannot hide behind an oath, a non-disclosure agreement, or an oath to protect the crimes of your masters.

    Tulsi Gabbard is the poster child of such feigned righteous indignation. Really Tulsi? You are a member of the u.s. globalist, corporate enforcement arm. Saying that it was Al Queda and not the Taliban who created and carried out 9/11 shows exactly who and what you are. For those who serve that dark master of war, who have now and have had open service to any special forces group within all western nations military services, I directly say she doesn't acknowledge what Dark Pride really is amongst those who get paid well for the Dirty Deeds they do. Tulsi is a dumb arse joke to them all.

    Like her "peaceful" and semi-insightful jargon or not, those who have the experience call her out. I see... so if it's a blatant hostility with a well documented history like the west's creation of its proxy war in Ukraine, she's okay with calling it out, and not the False Flag in her own country that continued the genocide of Iraqi citizens, Syrian citizens, Yemeni citizens, etc.? I write here to remind those reading that there are deeper, more impactful wars that have much more detrimental and destructive effects upon and in the world. Her military ranking means she asked for the call out.

    Would she have stood with Gen. Butler when he wrote "War Is A Racket", and write the same about the internal, multi-lateral, international, banking operation that created, with a deep and dark sense of professional killers pride, all that was the u.s.'s own attack on itself during 9/11? Hell no.

    Her self-righteous indignation about an ignorant, fellow candidate calling one globalist proxy combatant by the wrong name is about as superficial as it gets. She can't tell one truth without telling all truths, that is....only if her oath to humanity is sacrosanct and above a corporate, military, congressional loyalty, which it is not. That oath to humanity exists in actions alone and it is easily recognized.

    Recently Ben Harnwell, on Real America's Voice, brought up why the west, in its overt war mongering in support of western war profiteers, would ignore the 7 (now 9) years of the UkraNazi regime bombing the Russian speaking Ukranian citizens in the Donbass. The host, Stephen Bannon, immediately said, "Oh, No. No. No. You can't bring that up." and the topic was changed. The direct tell from Bannon after his warning to Harnwell was how he smiled immediately afterward, overtly implying 'Ben. What are you doing? Trying to get us killed? Or worse, get my program pushed off the air?''

    What a hypocrite. Bannon just said that the lives of Russian speaking citizens, none of whom attacked fellow Ukrainians, were not worthy of being protected. Who does Bannon and all of the other conservative hosts serve, if not the whole truth?

    Yes he said that, and having Ben Harnwell call it out, LIKE IT HAS NOT BEEN DISCUSSED AT ALL ON THAT CHANNEL, is proof of Ben's courage. He brought up the truth and Bannon cut him off. It does not mean that all of the other subject matter and "receipts", as Bannon calls them, the proofs of the crimes committed, are not valid. Many of them are, but it is the shallow nature of insiders like many conservatives and liberals alike, still glued somehow to their own self-righteous egos and the tentacles of a darker agenda holding them out of their hearts, that make listening to them a difficult task, but we must call them out and confront their lies of omission, just as the proxy war in the area is being called out.

    I am not surprised that it was Ben who stood up to be counted. He recently, while in Vatican Square itself, and him being a practicing Catholic to boot, called the current pope a "psychopath". I appreciate a practicing catholic calling out the jesuit for what he is, all the while standing in the devils square itself, underground satanic child sacrifice not withstanding.

    It may be possible that Ben is finally questioning the illicit underpinnings of just how Charlemagne initiated the mortal sin of papal autocracy, unquestioned authority above all people, in a supposedly faith based spiritual path based upon individual, personal relationships with the Heart of Christ. I do know that the spirit, the intent of Yesuah Messah, when found walking there, would likely create an earth shaking that would tumble those ungodly, gaudy buildings down in an instant, but that is not his job. That's up to Christians themselves.

    Ben, in a discussion about the rhino republican Nikki Haley announcing her candidacy for the u.s. presidency, said...
    "She has the ambition of Lucifer, but without the moral integrity (of Lucifer)". Catholicism as the guilt based cult it has been since its inception, and by that truth alone not based on personal responsibility and Heart centered living, creates a very insightful and cutting sensibility in those who have survived its tenants. I see it as a breading ground for comedy.

    All wars are proxy wars that start with a sales pitch and ongoing commercial advertising. Start with a candidate and thoroughly control everything until the profit and control is accrued.

    We do understand the difference between those who speak to their truth in contrast to those who hold back the truth that they do not want exposed, when these truths impinge upon their pay schedule or their ego. And we know the truths of the words we use.

    Gas lighting? You mean LYING.

    I remind those who use the phrase "gas lighting" is a phrase that a highly paid social manipulator created, and it is best to be remembered as lighting a match near the arse of someone who just farted. It will create a short explosion, a fire. If that is your intent in using the phrase that someone with only evil intent injected into common use, then I suggest you remember that. Otherwise, it is your language, your choice, and ultimately your words that you choose.

    Just as well, using the word "cleansing" when talking about murder and genocide of a specific ethnic group OF PEOPLE, CHILDREN, WOMEN AND MEN, is not a wording, a phrase created by anyone human. In the lives of humans, there is no such thing as ethnic "cleansing", yet it is a commonly used phrase. DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO CONTROL or influence your use of words.

    ‘KNEEL DOWN AND ASK FORGIVENESS’: ANGRY UKRAINIANS APPEAL TO ZELENSKY

    In January, Zelensky blamed Russia for the helicopter crash in Brovary, because of which the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine was killed:

    “War is not only on the battlefield, war has several directions. There are no more accidents. All this is the result of war. All these steps, everything that happens, missiles that hit our people, on the civilians, deaths of children…”

    In response, the President of Ukraine received the following appeal from a Ukrainian woman:


    “Tell me please, how can you constantly blame everyone, but not yourself? Never yourself! Everyone is always to blame, not you! What are you sitting there for? Why did you run for president of our country? To destroy our nation? Right now, that’s what it looks like!

    For you, everyone else is to blame for everything. You collect all the scrap metal from all over the European Union! You make young guys who have newborn babies and pregnant wives go to the front. You changed the law, so now even sixteen year olds are conscripted, and seventeen year olds go to the hot spots. You’re even the official sponsor of ****ing British scientists who dissect our guys for organs.

    You bastard, your wife walks around in a 40 thousand euro raincoat, and this wasn’t even a New Year’s gift! She lies that she knows the prices in her country and claims that mackerel costs 8 hryvnia… Have some conscience, Zelensky! Haven’t you ruined everything? Are you not afraid that your children will pay for your sins?

    You laugh, mock and jeer the common people, thanks to whom you became a millionaire! You’re a dollar millionaire, for ****’s sake! Where did you get it – from the war, ****ing hell, from bones! I understand that you don’t feel sorry for anyone, you bastard, but don’t you even feel sorry for your children? Just get out of Ukraine!

    Take all these ****ers that you sponsored, all these Banderites… and just **** off to Britain! People are tired of you, tired of your regime, tired of your lies, do you understand or not? You lie all the time, you brute! You’ve never told the truth! Go out now to Khreshchatyk and prove that you are in Ukraine!

    Turn on the live broadcast on all social networks, kneel down, you faggot, and ask forgiveness from every mother from whom you took a son! Because you are not going to negotiate with Russia, because you are not sitting down at the negotiating table with Putin, because you are fighting until the last Ukrainian and because you are still bombing Donbass! You stinking faggot!!!”

    BATTLE FOR BAKHMUT: MILITARY OVERVIEW ON FEBRUARY 20, 2023 (VIDEO 18+)

    On February 20, the Russian Ministry of Defence confirmed Russian control of the town of Paraskovievka located on the north-western outskirts of the city of Bakhmut (originally called Artyomovsk). The report of the Russian Defence Ministry indicates the end of the mop up operation in the settlement. Head of the Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed control of Paraskovievka on February 17.

    Less than a week ago, Wagner fighters took control of the village of Krasna Gora located on the heights on the eastern outskirts of Paraskovievka and few days laters they encircled the town itself. As a result, the Ukrainian garrison in Paraskovievka was doomed. LINK

    According to unconfirmed reports, the town was defended by the Ukrainian grouping of about 1,500 servicemen, including units of the 125th Territorial Defense Brigade, the 24th Mechanized and 57th Motorized Infantry Brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As a result of heavy battles, Ukrainian forces suffered heavy casualties and the so-called Northern Bakhmut grouping of the AFU was destroyed.

    Zelensky changes stance on key battle in Donbass

    Kiev's forces will only fight for Artyomovsk/Bakhmut while it remains reasonable, the Ukrainian leader says

    Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has acknowledged that while the key Donbass town of Artyomovsk, which Ukraine calls Bakhmut, is important to Kiev, it is not worth defending at all costs.

    Earlier this month, Zelensky insisted that “nobody is going to surrender Bakhmut. We’ll fight as long as we can.”

    However, he gave a different account when asked whether it was worth losing men to maintain control of the strategic settlement during an interview with Italy’s Corriere della Sera newspaper on Sunday.

    “For us it’s important to defend it, but not at any price and not until everybody dies. We’ll fight while it remains reasonable,” the Ukrainian leader replied.

    Trying to hold on to Artyomovsk is crucial because “the Russians want to continue towards [the bigger cities of] Kramatorsk and Slavyansk, to the borders of Donbass and to Dnepr,” he explained.

    “We resist and, in the meantime prepare, our next counterattack,” Zelensky said.

    Artyomovsk is a major Ukrainian stronghold and logistics hub in the People’s Republic of Donetsk (DPR). The key town is now on the brink of being encircled by Russian forces after a battle that lasted for months and had been described by Zelensky himself as “hell” for Kiev’s troops.

    According to Western media reports, the US government, which promised to support Ukraine for “as long as it takes,” has been urging Kiev to withdraw from Artyomovsk since late January and instead prepare for future counteroffensives in other areas. However, Zelensky has been reluctant to comply with the American requests. Senior Biden administration officials told the Washington Post last week that the Ukrainian leader “attaches symbolic importance” to the town and fears a setback to morale if it’s surrendered.

    Yan Gagin, an adviser to the DPR’s acting head Denis Pushilin, said on Monday that the Ukrainians were clinging onto Artyomovsk because other settlements in the area lacked proper fortifications. “They didn’t think that they would have to retreat,” he explained. The nearby town of Chasov Yar, where Ukrainian commanding officers have already been moved, is currently unprepared to resist a Russian advance, according to Gagin.

    Disgraced CNN anchor glorifies Ukrainian teens training to fight Russia 20 Feb, 2023 13:57

    The youths are “ready to die” fighting Russia, Chris Cuomo says

    Former CNN star Chris Cuomo, who now works for NewsNation network, has visited an academy in Ukraine where he says teens are being prepared to go to the front and fight Russian forces.

    The report by Cuomo emerged last week coinciding with speculations by some media outlets that Ukraine has been resorting to recruiting children and people with disabilities during its latest mobilization drive.

    The “kids” of 15, 16 and 17 years of age “have made the decision… to put away their dreams and have only the single purpose of defending their country,” the American journalist explained of what he saw at the academy.

    The report featured footage of the teenagers in camouflaged fatigues learning to fire assault rifles via a computer simulation as well as training in a gym, while sporting black track suits with what looks to be a Ukrainian military insignia.

    Cuomo appeared live on air with NewsNation from Kiev, but it’s not clear from the report where exactly the academy for the teen soldiers was located.

    The journalist spoke to one of the trainees, said to be 16 or 17, asking him if he was prepared to use his newly acquired skills on the battlefield. “Definitely, I’m ready for that… but it’s scary,” the boy replied.

    He also wanted to know whether the young man was worried about the fact that “Russia has more people, Russia has more equipment. The rest of the world supports Ukraine, but they’re not here fighting with you.”

    “They don’t have to because they have their own families and their own place to live. Our country is our home and we’re going to defend it,” the boy insisted.

    The Ukrainian youths “are ready to die” fighting Russia, Cuomo said, summarizing his visit to the academy.

    He pointed out that he himself has a son, who is 17, confessing: “I can’t imagine his life being a determination to save his family and to put his life on the line.”

    “In America, we take our freedoms seriously and we talk about it so profoundly, but, thank God, our kids don’t have to live it,” he commented, referring to the experience of some Ukrainian teens.

    As for those fighting against Russia, “it’s not just the warrior class – it’s everyone that they can reach,” Cuomo said of Kiev’s approach to the conflict.

    .

    A few sensible comments from Nigel Farage who is alarmed and concerned about senior politicians talking about WW3 - and says at the end of this short clip... "I think we're not having enough debate, reason and balance on this subject ...."

    To me it seems like the Political Class in the West has literally lost it's collective mind - are behaving like dangerous lunatics who can't grasp the simplest of points (historic and modern) about the Russia/Ukraine conflict and the dangers of pushing the World into war.... does Boris Johnson look at his children and think - I will risk your lives, country and future for a war that can easily be avoided... do all the other hundreds of UK MPs wonder what it could feel like to be instrumental in creating a situation where millions of people in Britain die - including their own families, friends and neighbours - do they actually have the imagination to see what they are bringing to our door... it's truly shocking how lacking in responsibility and intelligence they are when it comes to Ukraine... I could rant on but I'll leave it there....

    Rewrite mentality? Hmm. I'd love to hear her strategy on that.

    @ArthurM40330824 Replying to @bonfire06
    She wasn't sure exactly but her example was that all the history textbooks in Estonia were rewritten so I guess she was hoping for someone to rewrite Russian history.
    She was talking for a bit it wasn't just a phrase but rather a long Monologue

    Here's a recent clip from a debate at the Oxford Union with George Galloway at his best, giving the opposition what for.



    George spoke at the Oxford Union on the 90th anniversary of the famous/infamous King and Country debate.

    From the Oxford Union: On 9th February 1933, Oxford Union members voted 275 to 153 in favour of the motion 'This House will under no circumstances fight for its King and Country', a result met with outrage from the political establishment. Sir Winston Churchill described the vote as an 'abject, squalid, shameless, avowel', citing it as a reason for Adolf Hitler's later brinkmanship. Ninety years to the day after this motion was first put to the House, would this house still not fight for its sovereign and kingdom?

    Recorded on Thursday 9th February 2023
