Today we begin by a few headlines which illustrate the current Russian strategy of unilateralism:
- Putin announces new security measures in Russia
- Putin introduces martial law in former Ukrainian regions
- Lavrov acknowledges «no sense» in maintaining the same diplomatic presence in the West
The first two are really no brainers and show that the Kremlin perfectly understands what the AngloZionist Hegemony intends to do next. The last one is simply a public admission that talking to the Hegemony makes no sense, if only because besides the USA and Israel, nobody in that Hegemony has any real agency. Thus the only countries it does make sense to talk to are the USA and Israel. In the case of the USA, Russia will wait what the elections will yield (including a possible Biden impeachment) as there is really absolutely nobody to talk to in the White House right now. As for Israel, it is an important local power in the very important Middle-East so talking to the Israelis simply makes sense (especially since the KSA has been making overtures towards Russia and, through Russia, probably even Iran).
Next, a quick update from the Hegemony:
- US media accuses Russia of election interference once again
- Zelensky sanctions thousands of Russians
- Russian governor’s son detained in EU after US request
All of these headlines are simply yet another illustration that “past behavior is the best indicator of future behavior” and that “if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail”. So the Dems are planning to blame “Piootin” for their upcoming electoral defeat, Zelensky is still busy with pure optics and the Hegemony still kidnaps Russian citizens if they make the mistake to leave the Multipolar Free World. Again, same old, same old…
Now on a more interesting note, I reached out to a well informed Iranian friend and ask him whether his sources tell him that Iran did ship UAVs to Russia. Here is his reply:
I am more than convinced that Iran at least sold/gave Russia licenses to produce the drones (Shahed- 136). Most of my Iranian military sources agree that this is the case and they are being easily reproduced in Russia under the name Geranium-2. It also makes sense that Russia would buy these drones or the licenses to reproduce them. They are cheap, easy to produce and cause massive damage, while being quite able to evade Western air defenses most of the times. Why use expensive and sophisticated Russian drones when they can use cheap ones that still cause the intended damage? For Iran this is also a good way to test their drone capabilities against western weaponry and still be able to deny any involvement in Ukraine. It also makes perfect sense for Moscow and Tehran to deny any such sale, because it serves their interests to keep such matters a secret.
This reply makes perfect sense to me and all I can say is that I hope that Iran and Russia will continue to collaborate together and that Russia will will help Iran and share technologies and weapon systems to protect Iran from the Hegemony.
And then there is this: “Hyper-realistic Jesus put on display” which, while weird and attention grabbing, includes this sentence “Unlike some traditional depictions of Jesus, the model’s genitals are not omitted for the sake of modesty“.
A couple of things here. First, you cannot see any genitals on the Turin Shroud, so whatever these geniuses placed there, it was the product of their imagination, not reality. Hence, it has NOTHING to do with “hyper-realism”. But the most important thing is this: this is yet another sign that the real (Orthodox) Christians are much closer culturally to the Muslim world than to the post-Christian “West”. Yes, I know, for Christians Christ was the God-man, the theanthropos, while Islam consider Christ as only a prophet. But at least no Muslim would ever even consider making up genitals for any prophet! Whereas the folks capable of that kind of crap are literally capable of *anything*.
Many years ago Jerry Mander wrote a book entitled “In the Absence of the Sacred: The Failure of Technology and the Survival of the Indian Nations” which I highly recommend, but here I just want to use his title and comment that in the Hegemony nothing is sacred anymore, not even the so-called “western values” such as free speech, people power, pluralism, private property, etc.
In fact, it would be an interesting exercise to try to list those cultures/countries/nations which still do have a sense of the sacred for *something* (for our purposes, it does not really matter what that is) and those who simply lack the ability to even imagine the sacred.

No music today (but I am preparing a few good videos for next week-end), but only a small but I think really funny and quite insightful cartoon I saw on Telegram (thanks to the translators!!!). And just to clarify, this cartoon does not ridicule the Ukronazis as much as it ridicules the “Russian” “allislosters” I call the 6th columnists.
Enjoy and have a great week-end!
A Ukrainian pig hoped to fight a bear and became crispy bacon.
LOL Loved the cartoon.
I loved the cartoon. It sounded like somebody gave the bear Viagra when the lights went out!
Can someone post a direct link to the cartoon? I might want to drop it in a few places!

Only Americans who remember the movie “DELIVERANCE” will appreciate the ribald humor of the implication that the Russian bear forced the Nazi pig to squeal like a piggy.
Just FYI, in the West including the USA, the derogatory term “NAZI” is utilized prolifically but without intellectual understanding or consistency by Leftists to stigmatize and demonize Rightists with whom they disagree with. There is absolutely no consideration given to the fact that Western Leftists share similar ideologies with the Nazis. Russians on the other hand have a far more intellectually rigorous and consistent definition of the term “Nazi” which is reserved for Americans and Western Europeans who are perceived to conquer and exploit Eastern Europeans, Asians, Africans, Latin Americans and others. Russians are also not blinded to the reality that Westerners, particularly Western Leftists, have rejected the Democratic ideals of private property rights, freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and honest elections.
Nazism was inspired by Fascism.
Fascism is the old Latin roman rule by corrupting Elite members of society into a mafia network, in order to control and exploit its own population. The ever grooving corruption necessitated an imperial expansion.
Mussolini changed the fascist model into an organization comprised of Communists, industrialists, and Governmental forces.
Hitler was a big admirer of Mussolini, and built the German NAZI system after Mussolini’s concept.
The forces he included in the German NAZI system were N: Nation, A: Socialist, Z: Zionist I: Industrialists.
The problem for western leftist is that our history books have been burned, and that the inclusion of communists and socialists into Fascism and Nazism are no longer known by the western population.
However, the socialist urge to unite and sacrifice individual rights and liberty for a “Good Cause” is exactly how Psychopaths are able to manipulate leftist into becoming Fascist and NAZIs.
Mussolini once stated that Fascism is the merger of State and Cooperative forces.
That is exactly the type of rule we see in the West of today. But renamed as Public-Private-Partnership.
In Britain it’s called PPI (Puclic Private Initiative). You only have to look at the collapse of Carillion and Interserve to understand it’s complete failure.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carillion

… A: Socialist, Z: Zionist …
How do you manage that bit of acrobatics?
I think you’ll find that the zionism part came only in the next (US) iteration.
The Z – as far as I remember, and I don’t remember the acronym fully – refers to the socialist element. (That said, I can’t remember off hand how the NS and the NZ come together, so it could be I have it wrong).
BM Wrote
… A: Socialist, Z: Zionist …How do you manage that bit of acrobatics?
My comment:
That is easy when you live in a neighboring country to Germany, speak Danish, English, and German, and were taught about the rise of Nazism, while there were still books around, which were written in the aftermath of WWI and WWII.
The German NAZI party NSDAP = National sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter partei.
In NAZI Germany Socialism and workers unions were connected in the workers party = Arbeiter partei.
From the word Arbeiter originates the A for socialism. In Denmark a worker is called: Arbejder
In northern Europe letters are commonly used to identify political parties.
The letter A is common for Socialist parties.
The letter C is common for Conservative parties.
However, the letter Z is commonly associated with Zionism.
The idea of a return to Mount Zion in Jerusalem. To recapture the Holy land form the Muslims.
This was accomplished by the 1917 British Balfour declaration to erect a Jewish state in Israel, and by NAZI Germany by scaring European Jews into Israel.
When the lights go out in Banderstan, the squeals come from the Ukie pigs in Washington and London.
You get the joke of Jerry Mander, right? I loved his book ‘Four Arguments For The Elimination of Television’. I friggin’ can’t believe the shroud genitals. “It’s further proof” … of the con. If like me, you too have wandered Spain and seen every reliquary at ever catedral with chunks of the real cross. I could remodel your place with that much wood. I could build Martyanov a cabin cruiser with the leftovers.

Iranian admiral: Navy seized 2 American drones
The 84th combat, intelligence and operational squadron of the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy returned home after an 86-day mission in open and international waters.
According to the Tasnim news agency from Bandar Abbas , citing the public relations of the 1st Imamate of Nadaja, the members of this fleet were welcomed in a ceremony attended by Admiral Shahram Irani, Commander of the Navy, the commanders and families of the flotilla employees in the 1st Naval District of the Bandar Abbas Imamate.
On the sidelines of this ceremony, the Commander of the Navy said: “The 84th Fleet of the Strategic Naval Forces of the Army with its powerful presence in the depths of the oceans, especially in the Red Sea area, succeeded in carrying out escort operations and establishing maritime security at the highest possible level, and where it was attacked by foreign forces. Due to the presence in the area, the safety of navigation was compromised, they were able to stand up again and seize 2 American drones in memory of their comrades who stood directly against any injustice before.
Amir Admiral Shahram Irani added: America should know that if it is going to have a maritime presence somewhere, it must comply with international laws and know that the Islamic Republic of Iran, with its powerful presence in the region, will deal decisively with any move that endangers the security and safety of navigation. And it will knock.
He stated that the great honor of this fleet was that it stood at the bottom of the oceans directly and face to face against the great devil of criminal America with firmness and strength, and said: All these honors show the faith of the army in its work, expertise, It is their mastery and courage, and the most important thing is to rely on reality and the slogan “Our way is the way of Hossein (AS)”.
The commander of the army navy added: the strategic navy of the army has escorted more than 64 ships of the Islamic Republic under authority and has a powerful presence on the floating units in a fully equipped manner.
The 84th Operational Intelligence Combat Group of the Army’s Strategic Navy, under the command of the all-Iranian destroyer Jamaran, spent 86 days escorting commercial ships and oil tankers of the Islamic Republic of Iran and also protecting the interests of our beloved country in the open waters.

Thank you for this very interesting information!
Teachers in the Czech Republic are voicing aloud against the alarming situation in Czech basic schools, where 67.000 Ukrainian children have been enrolled since September. The level of education of these children apparently is so horribly deficient that Czech teachers are warning for a completely unworkable situation. Many Ukrainian children show signs of having been brainwashed. Soon the youth of the Czech Republic will run the danger de facto descending into the same abyss where the Ukrainian youth has been idling since 2014.
The Ukrainian education system raised pigs ready for a life of prostitution and cannon fodder.
Yes, those children really have been brainwashed.
This episode of the great Russian film director Nikita Mikhalkov’s independent TV show is one of the most thorough but concise explanations I have seen of the real history behind the current conflict. The most haunting part of the video for me is the footage of Ukrainian schoolteachers ranting and filling the heads of their captive young students — even kindergartners — with ugly hate propaganda about Russians.
https://youtu.be/_tUEA4naSFw
As for the kids being behind on basic skills, well, all the school time spent on hate sessions is time taken away from things like reading and math. Kind of like in the USA, where hours of every school week are spent on “woke” indoctrination on race, gender and climate change. It wastes time and robs kids of basic skills, but even worse, it desyroys their innocence, crushes their spirits, and robs them of joy.
The hierarchy of the Catholic Church continues to sail towards a second Western schism with a multitude of new Luthers (the first in 1517 with Luther 1.0) where are the engines? AGAIN they are in Germany.
The fuel of the schism is homosexuality, the “new” family models gays, environmentalism (see pachamama) and a more “inclusive” church, that is, women priestesses. However, there remains a small remnant faithful to Jesus Christ.
The division of faith in different churches is a scandal for everyone and especially for the little ones.
I pray for the union of Christians and that we become one Church again.
May the Lord hear us.
Y si, soy católico tradicionalista.
Qué Dios te bendiga, Oscar!

This German heritage was long concealed by Donald Trump’s father, Fred Trump, who had grown up in a mainly German-speaking environment until he was ten years old; after World War II and until the 1980s, he told people he was of Swedish ancestry. Donald Trump repeated this version in The Art of the Deal (1987) but later said he is “proud” of his German heritage, and served as grand marshal of the 1999 German-American Steuben Parade in New York City. The Trump family in Germany were Lutheran.

Russian should become extinct in Ukraine – top official
“The Russian language is nothing but an “element of enemy propaganda and brainwashing of our people,” Alexey Danilov, the head of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, said on the ‘Big Lviv Talks’ show on Friday”.
” According to Danilov, the very idea that Ukrainians have to understand the Russian tongue is a “dangerous narrative.”
“Look, we don’t want anything from them [Russians]. Why don’t they leave us alone? Let them go to their swamps and croak in the Russian language,” he stated.

“Yes, I know, for Christians Christ was the God-man, the theanthropos, while Islam consider Christ as only a prophet. But at least no Muslim would ever even consider making up genitals for any prophet! Whereas the folks capable of that kind of crap are literally capable of *anything*.”
Andrei, you live “in the West” and enjoy “its” benefits. You know the saying, probably of Roman origin since we have St. Jerome using it, to wit: “Don’t look a gifted horse in the mouth.” Probably you know: horsemen can tell the health — i.e., the value — of a horse by looking at the condition of its tongue and teeth. If a horse is gifted, its value is already great.
For Christians East and West, Christ is an “is” not a “was.” Christians East and West do not disfigure or otherwise make sacrilege with devotional or liturgical objects. Your complaint is against atheists, not Christians.
Also, there is no such thing as “post-Christianity.” One can imagine Saint Sergius laughing at that ridiculous locution. “Post-Christianity,” indeed!
There has been no real Christianity in the West since many many centuries already.
Unless, of course, we agree that the term “Christianity” means nothing and anybody claiming to be a Christian just because of that claim.
The (only real) Christianity is the faith “which the Lord gave, was preached by the Apostles, and was preserved by the Fathers. On this was the Church founded; and if anyone departs from this, he neither is nor any longer ought to be called a Christian” (St. Athanasius)
and
that “which has been believed everywhere, always and by all” (to quote Saint Vicent of Lerins).
and
“As the Prophets saw, as the Apostles taught, as the Church has received, as the teachers expressed in dogmas, as the whole world has agreed, as the grace has illuminated” (Synodikon of Orthodoxy)
The rest is simply heresy (I mean that not as an insult, but in its original theological meaning which I use as the Fathers would)
Andrei
I think it’s possible for a person to engage in Christ like behavior even if they do not have a belief system.
Since Christ’s belief system was the core of His human person, I would submit that this is by definition impossible.
Also, how do you define “Christ like behavior”? All the so-called “Christian denominations” all disagree, so are you suggesting a Solo Scriptura? That approach ALSO resulted into thousands of denominations :-)
Oh, lastly, Christ Himself would disagree with you. He did, after all, say, “I am the door” and “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you:. There are many more similar quotes so no, your hypothesis is in direct contradiction with Christ’s teachings :-)
Saker, Thank you for your intelligent response. Being raised in a Stari Vera (Old Believer) family, I am quite aware that Christian denominations disagree.
If one interprets Christ’s words metaphorically/ figuratively/ allegorically/ cryptically then what I said may not contradict Christ’s teachings. (I am not suggesting that you, or anyone else, interpret His words this way.)
I think the essence of Christ’s words is compassion, and any behavior inspired by compassion is Christ like even if it’s done by non theists. ( I am not a Buddhist, but even though Buddha never mentioned the word God, he only talked about the ending of suffering, he seems like a pretty compassionate guy to me.)
I think the spirit of what I am saying is: Words invariably bind. Intellect will only take you so far. I’m suggesting a more heart oriented approach. As Jesus said “Truly, I say to you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Innocence is the way.
I, too, think it is possible to practice good behaviour even if adhering to no particular religion.
If one is a true Christian, then that behaviour can possibly be termed Christ like. I have no wish to enter that debate.
But, if one does not count themselves a Christian, then another term is needed. Personally, I simply call it good behaviour, as is seeking truth and attempting to act accordingly, while always acknowledging human and personal frailty.
I have to agree with the Saker. How do you define Christ like behavior? Only through the Bible can one understand what those values are. Only through exposure to a community that espouses those values can one learn what those are. Did you naturally learn those on your own or were those values developed because of family, relatives, friends who taught them to you? Or perhaps through a church that taught those norms to them? Children are born innocent and their character is formed by those closest to them. So where does their good behavior originate from? Would you consider the behavior of those Ukranian children raised and indoctrinated to hate Russians, to want to kill, to be less educated their fault. How would they learn the values of Christ and so called good behavior if they never see examples of that. To them what they are doing is considered good behavior. I credit my traditional raising in the Roman Catholic Church to my establishment of good morals that have stayed with me even though I have fallen away from attending masses. I have attended some of these universal faith church services and while they espouse good behavior, they talk in generalties; they do not instruct a person that they are personally accountable for their behavior. Good behavior can be whatever society sees as good, whether it is or not. That circles back to the teachings of Christ and the Bible, as the universal teacher. I hope this makes sense, as I know that this is only my opinion.
Cindy, According to your logic, it is impossible for a child who is raised by atheist or non theist (eg. Buddhist) parents to be intelligent and compassionate.
Anton. My argument was flawed. Intelligence is not necessarily a function of good behavior. I was trying to define societal norms in the context of Christ like behavior. My statement concerning children (Ukraine) is a broad based example of where society fails to exhibit Christ like behaviors yet it fails within that societies norms.
Andrei, thank you for your observations. I apologize for using the word “ridiculous” right near the end of my comment. That was hurtful and should not have happened, although it did.
I have been called worse than heretic, so no difficulties there. Those things slide off. I know what heresy is.
Now this sentence: “There has been no real Christianity in the West since many many centuries already.”
You live “in the West.” I suspect Batiushka, a cleric (?), lives “in the West.” Many of the people whose articles you publish live “in the West” or are based “in the West.” How then can it be that there is “no real Christianity in the West?”
Here is how I see it: Six blind men come upon an elephant, start touching to find out what he is. One says he is a rope. Another says he is a tube. Another says he is a pillar. Another says he is a low ceiling. Another says he is a group of pillars. Another says he is hairy and rough. Each of them is right. God is like that elephant. The religions are like the blind men. Each describes God aright. That’s how I see it.
In parallel with that, the Doctrine of the Holy Trinity describes God as three Persons (masks) but the same Actor.
The power inside each religion is the same. It is love, or as Gorbatow mentions, compassion.
Now, any chance there is interest in nullifying the schism of 1054? Speaking for myself, I think it is time for that to happen, and I use the word “time” in the senses of kairos and chronos both.
Christianity is a philosophy not a membership.
If I claim to be Christian it is nobody’s place to judge.
What you are are describing Andrei, is fundamentalist dogma, the very aspect of Christianity (and other religions) which has alienated vast numbers from the church.
Individual sovereignty and fundamentalist dogma are incompatible.
Which one is more representative of Christianity?
Speaking of dogma: St.Thomas Aquinas said “All that I have written seems to be as straw after the things that have been revealed to me”.
Revelation is nonverbal. There’s no need to quibble over mere straw!!!
It could be argued that the church is one of the barriers to achieving Christ like behaviour.
The dogma is a creation of man in his limited capacity to achieve (or display) understanding.
As I said earlier, Words invariably bind.
Dogma and ideals are an escape. Learning can only take place by observing what is.
Easy to understand

Washington has long crossed all red lines drawn by Moscow, Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov said in an interview with the Rossiya-24 TV channel.
“They [the Americans] have long crossed all these red lines,” he said in response to a question.
In this regard, the Russian envoy pointed to the Nord Stream incident. “I strongly believe that it’s not an individual or a group that is behind this act of sabotage but a government, which has technological capabilities and specially trained people,” Antonov stressed.
Russian-American relations are in an extremely bad shape. […] Nevertheless, I am firmly convinced that Russia and the US are doomed to at least talk about problems of strategic stability,” the envoy said.
Meanwhile, the envoy noted that Washington’s rhetoric towards Russia hasn’t changed.
“I have to admit that no changes happened in rhetoric of the White House, the Department of State and, most importantly, the Pentagon. There is still only one goal: to pressure Russia, to impose new sanctions, to demolish Russia,” the diplomat said.
When asked which party Russia would like to see as the winner of the US elections, Antonov said the elections are a US internal affair.
“It’s up to the Americans who they choose. We will try to build pragmatic, equitable relations with any people who will be in the White House, the Capitol and the State Department,” he said.
I believe the reason the genitals are not visible on the Shroud of Turin is that the hands were placed over them, as per what I imagine was standard burial practice of the time. (Hebrew/Jewish culture, like Muslim culture today, put a very high value on modesty.)
this comment has been flagged as of little/no value (possibly troll) by the sakerBut the white stains?
I think that the possible battle of Kherson, if it happens, will be the first battle of Russia’s offensive toward Nikolaev and Kherson.
AndreiM. has often speculated that Russia’s next move will be toward Nikolaev and Kherson.
Military Summary thinks that the main reason citizens are being evacuated from Kherson is that Russia intends to make Kherson City the headquarters for their offensive toward Nikolaev and Odessa.
I meant to say “the first battle of Russia’s offensive toward Nikolaev and ODESSA”.
If the hands were placed there, why not leave the hands instead of imagining what His genitals must have looked like?
The answer, I think, is obvious…
Western free speech is a myth, many voices have been Skripalled believing otherwise.

WTFUD
Take Heart. What you and all of us are witnessing is a slow downward slope of Western Society & Politics.
At the heart of that decline is what the US Financial System has become. Right now it’s very tied in with all the Financial Aristocrats in the UK and the EU Big Banks, and their fFnancial Markets that provide them untold riches. This provides a means in bribing every US/EU/UK politician, from the UK Parliament all the way down to City Hall, causing these political puppets to act out in bizarre manners.
But have no fear, like all preceding Empire, the US Hegemon is in decline, causing we citizens despair and hopelessness. But hold on: millions of us are actually witnessing this predatory system as it bankrupts itself into oblivion. :)
Cheers Rubicon.
It’s people like you, others here at Saker, and in a few other places, that provides hope.
Still, I can no longer even post comments at MoA, they appear at the bottom, uploaded, and then disappear. Being semi-computer illiterate, I can’t understand this sabotage or how to rectify it. This interference and the general government intrusiveness/chicanery is truly sickening.
Hell, I’m paying for a service, which is deliberately scuppering my enjoyment of it at every turn. It’s disgusting!
I know exactly how you feel. I had a friend of twenty years+ (he’s been 404’d). I used to work with him at Marconi. Only last year he revealed his true racist identity regarding Russia. When I called him a racist he looked at me with a blank face, he’s been so indoctrinated he thinks racism only applies to “black” people.
When I asked why he was so racist against Russia the only plausible explanation he could give was that they go around poisoning people. At this point I started laughing. When I aksed him why Russia would do that, he just said he didn’t know but that’s what they do (because the BBC told him). In fact he believes everying the BBC tells him. The ridiculous fairytale about the made-up perfume bottle during the Skripal farce. Bailey fighting for his life in hospital although he was conscious the whole time and his wife and kids not having to wear any protective clothing, having spent a whole week in a completely contaminated house. Basically, he’ll believe any old shit the BBC tells him. He has a maths degree.
He was also livid when I told him I’d voted for Brexit (i also arranged postal votes for my parents). Apparently, we’d been told how to vote (against) and it was some crap about Northern Ireland. I told him as far as I was concerned, Northern Ireland doesn’t exist.
In fact a cousin of mine said, if you can’t believe the BBC who can you believe. My answer was that basically everything they say is the exact opposite.
My answer was that basically everything they say is the exact opposite.
That’s a good answer, but it requires very strong discipline (and would have side-effects if at some point the BBC is conquored by Russia).
Get your news by watching the BBC, and invert everything they say.
There was once an experiment with an optical device that inverts (top-bottom) the image coming into the eyes (or more precsely just before coming into the eyes). The eyes automatically (optically) invert the image, as the image on the retina is upside down. The brain however interprets it correctly, of course. But if you invert the image coming into the eyes so that the image on the retina is right-way-up, although initially everything appears to be upside down, after a period of accustomisation the brain again flips the image so that the outside world again appears right way up. In this way, if you constantly invert the meaning of the BBC, eventually it will be automatic and unconscious. You will hear the BBC say “Russia carried out a massacre in Bucha”, and you will tell your friends: “Even the BBC admitted that Ukraine carried out the massacre in Bucha.”
In the above experiment, when the inverting device is removed, the subject again sees everything upside down. In the same way, if/when Russia eventually conquors and takes over control of the BBC so that it instead broadcasts the truth … well, you get the drift!
Two way street. I’ve long believed that the Russians have been quietly helping the Iranians with their missile and aerospace technology. After all, it’s not just a commodity as it is with the privatised American industry but a properly strategic asset. As Andre Martyanov has demonstrated, Russian military technology is tailor made to down American aircraft and sink their ships. And of course there’s more. But it’s not a coincidence that what Russia has is what Iran needs the most. If the strategic aim is to drive back the hegemonic threat complex then it makes perfect strategic sense to provide the Iranians with the means to do this, economic considerations being secondary. As well, given the tensions that have burdened Iran-Russian relations in the past it’s an excellent way of forming supportive alliances, very desirable. The present instance of drone propriety appears to be a case of returning the compliments, a ‘win/win’ situation. But however all this may be I’m much impressed with the Iranian engineering ability to drive down the economic costs while maintaining tactical effectiveness.
It’s quite amazing, that despite 4 decades of illegal western sanctions, Iran has managed to hold its head above water; imagine where the country would’ve been without them. Thankfully, their patience, determination and goodness will now be rewarded.
I keep meaning to examine in detail, the reasons behind why Iran & Russia have taken this long to embrace one another. Before I do so, I’m going to hazard an educated guess, that the no.1 reason is Israel and Russia’s 5th column’s loyalty to this rogue State, maybe even Putin’s Achilles heel, Imo.
Yes, absolutely correct. You may also add Iran’s own 5th columnists to that list. The Anglosaxon-Zionists have been having a strong foothold inside Iranian society since the times of Qajar Dynasty, where the child-like, imbecilic, NasserdinShah of Qajar could be given small bribes even cash pocket money so that the king could manage his illiterate administration/nation, to the Mossadegh oil nationalization followed by the Pahlavi Dynasty and nowadays to the so-called reformist group of the former no. 2 Hashemi Rafsanjani clan. For sure there was and still is a similar bribery Anglo-Zionist oligarchic techniques at work in Russia active from the times of Tsars. But, fortunately, it seems both Russia and Iran have come to the realization that they must rein in 5th columnists’ activities in their respective countries and so that most of them have already escaped. Anyway, they ought to be constantly on guard regarding the 5th columns.
Looks like the Russian 5th Column (Zionist supporters) and Israel are about to part company with Russia. Maybe someone in the Russian government has been doing a bit of research into their own Zionist-filled history.

“For the moment, I will have to restrict myself to the basic facts. World War I, as we recall, began in July 1914 and ran for a bit more than four years, ending on 11 November 1918. The Triple Entente of the UK, France, and Russia faced off against the Triple Alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy, although Italy dropped out of the Alliance in 1915. The US eventually entered the war (on the side of the Entente) in April 1917. Russia, torn apart by the Judeo-Bolshevik Revolution, withdrew in March 1918. Germany held out for another seven months, but eventually, in November 1918, it too succumbed, in part as a result of internal Jewish agitation. In the end, the Alliance suffered some 8 million total casualties (military plus civilian), and the Entente around 10 million. Despite the many complicating factors, a defeated Germany was ultimately assigned full blame for the war—completely overlooking the fact that that nation ****“did not plot a European war, did not want one, and made genuine…efforts to avert one,”**** in the words of historian Sidney Fay. The onerous postwar reparations inflicted on Germany set the stage, in large part, for the later emergence of Hitler and his NSDAP party.
As in all wars, many civilians were caught in the crosshairs; here, the Jews were no exception. Their suffering, however, had already been ongoing for many years prior to the war. Or perhaps we should say, self–inflicted suffering. Jewish behavior, attitudes, actions, and beliefs have been a constant source of conflict throughout the centuries—even through millennia. Jewish abrasiveness became particularly pressing by the late 18th century, as was noted by many prominent critics, including Kant, Voltaire, Hegel, Fichte, and Herder. By the mid-19th century, the likes of Schopenhauer and Bruno Bauer were issuing scathing critiques.
A particularly disturbing situation, though, was developing in Russia. By the late 1800s, Russia had some 5 million Jews within its borders, nearly all of whom lived in the so-called Pale of Settlement in the far west of the country; this represented about half of the global total of around 10 million Jews. This large Jewish population was a disruptive and agitating force within Russia and hence earned the dislike of Czars Nicholas I (reigned 1825 to 1855) and Alexander II (reigned 1855 to 1881). By 1871, Russian activist Mikhail Bakunin could make this observation about the Jews:
This whole Jewish world which constitutes a single exploiting sect, a sort of ****bloodsucker people**** (ein Blutegelvolk), a ****collective parasite**** (einzigen fressenden Parasiten), voracious, organized in itself, not only across the frontiers of states but even across all the differences of political opinion—this world is presently, at least in great part, at the disposal of Marx on the one hand and of the Rothschilds on the other. … Jewish solidarity, that powerful solidarity that has maintained itself through all history, united them [both].
In 1881, a gang of anarchists known as Narodnaya Volya, which included a few Jews, succeeded in assassinating Alexander; this unleashed a series of anti-Jewish pogroms that persisted for decades.
By the late 1880s, American media was beginning to take notice of the Jewish situation in Russia—especially the New York Times. A brief item from 1889 began with the question “How many Jews are there?” meaning, globally. At a minimum, “the number of the ubiquitous race [is] 6,000,000.” It then continues with a reference to Jewish suffering: “With the exception of half a million, they are all in a state of political bondage.” Furthermore, “in Russia alone there were 4,000,000 of their race whose every step was dogged by that curse, religious hatred and persecution.”[5] Here we find an early reference to (almost) six million suffering Jews.
Another short piece appeared in 1891 entitled “Russia’s Christianity: Rabbi Gottheil says a word on the persecution of the Jews.” In a public lecture, Gottheil examined a number of facts “in relation to the treatment of Russia’s 5,000,000 to 6,000,000 Jews by the Christian population.” Notably, the population of Russian Jews, which was just 4 million two years earlier, was now as high as 6 million. Gottheil then proceeds to quote a recent article by one E. B. Lanin, who said, “about six millions [sic] persecuted and miserable wretches remain steadfastly faithful to a religion that causes their life to be changed into a fiery furnace.” Prophetic, indeed.”
Note the references to Odessa and Crimea in these articles:

Saker,
Thank you for providing this space, much wisdom in the articles as well as in the comments.
Interesting week, the regrettable although unfortunately needed death and destruction continues in Ukraine.
When I look at Ukraine(with the exception of the eastern parts) I see a country that is unwilling to pursue the best interests of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, it’s easy to look down upon Ukrainians and think these people are just stupid. However, when you zoom the lens out you see the same behavior in Germany, Britain, Italy and frankly all of Western Europe as well as the United States. These are countries with supposedly world class education systems, who own the “Western Values” we have heard so much talk about. I have often wondered why people fell so easily for the slogan of these values, given we have ample history of the United States being downright brutal if it had to in order to preserve or gain territory up to and including the use of nuclear weapons.
Many people look at American Slavery as the biggest sin of the US, but in reality episodes like the downright extermination of the American Indian and their tribes during the westward expansion as well as their homeland was a downright brutal affair. That was ethnic cleansing at the continental level and it was done largely in a very brutal manner and it has left the survivors of those peoples for the most part broken. Yes, this is history and in the past, but past behavior is indicative of future behavior.
Russia should take heed of this and understand that the United States as a military and government only understand force at the present moment. Perhaps Russia should take a look at the strategy of Iran, it regularly
challenges the US Navy in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz up to and including downing a very expensive ISR asset in that Global Hawk episode as well as targeting the supposed abandoned US base in Iraq showing their ballistic missile capability. It has captured US navy soldiers and held them eventually releasing them, it has challenged US weapons dominance in Saudi Arabia via the Houthis and showed the vaunted Patriot missile defense system may not be as effective as advertised. It also routinely does not back down to Israel which can be argued is the nation that has been granted carte blanche to attack any nation/individual/national/organization who it deems a “security threat”. Iran as a nation is universally hated in the west and his been since the shah was overthrown and they took the embassy hostages. Yet they continue to respond to US aggression and have gained the grudging respect of the US military/government as well as the people of the US in that no one doubts that Iran will fight back if attacked and it will involve US soldiers dying at some point, hence the US military has to tip toe and hold back Israel in it’s actions constantly.
Why do I bring this up? Russia and especially Putin seemed to be operating under the assumption that the US political class/government/military somehow respect the Russian military as it did the Soviet Union and its leadership and its military. This fatal miscalculation perhaps has caused the most loss of life among the Russian military as well as the general destruction of Ukraine, if the US political class believed that the Russians were willing to go to war directly with NATO/US over Ukraine they would have backed down as they constantly do with Iran. This notion that some on the Russian side keep spreading that the Americans are war crazy and willing to go to WW3 over Ukraine on a split second if the Russians engage any direct US asset, to me is to me covering for the fact that the Russians have still have not credibly responded to the billions in American weapons which has caused the loss of thousands of Russian lives as well as the sinking of the Moscow cruiser, regular shelling of Belgorod, bridge bombing, etc.
I suspect we are slowly getting to the phase were NATO/US direct/indirect assets are slowly going to be coming under direct Russian threat is coming as it simply cannot be held off any longer both militarily and politically. A dangerous game no doubt but look what happened when the Russian fighter unleashed a missile near the UK Rivet Joint/ISR over the Black Sea did they start WW3 ? No, they stopped the flights and the UK defense minister got on the phone with Shoigu to “clarify” the situation AKA “I don’t want to start a war”. Did the flights start again, yes but with fighter assets now, a very small cost was imposed but a cost none the less. Now US defense secretary has called Shoigu asking for “lines to remain open” AKA “I don’t want to start a war”.
Putin has fought this war in a very legalistic way, perhaps he had to for domestic political reasons or it’s just his personality, maybe that’s why it was named as an “SMO”. However, the west has clearly caught onto this legalistic thinking and is constantly banking on Putin being “legalistic”. However, I suspect the domestic political situation as well as the military situation on the ground is not tenable for Putin and he will have to decide whether he really wants to fight a war or not and all that it entails including the risks of WW3.
“…Russia and especially Putin seemed to be operating under the assumption that the US political class/government/military somehow respect the Russian military as it did the Soviet Union and its leadership and its military. This fatal miscalculation…”
With due respect, this is an opinion dressed up as a fact. If, as you state, the AZ didn’t respect Russian forces they would have directly attacked already. The US/UK/NATO usual MO is to create an excuse to attack, whether an outright lie (Iraqi WMD), or a false flag (“9/11”).
Russia is both winning respect with Zone B by acting within international law and showing restraint (although there is a limit to that) and allowing the AZ criminals to constantly kick own goals; when they decide to go ‘full retard’ all past transgressions of their (and ours too) enemies will be answered.
The US and Canadian governments have begun to assess the availability of blood and blood products in the event of a nuclear war. Source, someone personally known to me, who is highly reliable, and who works in a pharmaceutical company that deals in blood products.
They’re really preparing for WWIII.
They may be doing some contingency planning, something they should have done long ago. There are no bomb shelters here (Canada) either, which tells you how much they have actually thought about this…
do you have any sources that can predict the fate of canada im losing all hope in this pile of junk country
dmanfromCanada, I don’t know if your question is addressed to me: if it is, I share your feelings.
This country has all the ingredients to be a paradise on earth, yet we have, especially in urban areas, such a brainwashed society and an overall passive population that has the mindset of the colonized (Canada has never been truly independent). We also have some of the worst politicians on earth (like Martyanov would say, Trudeau is not qualified to run a corner store, let alone a country as large as Canada) with a deep infiltration of rabid Ukrainian nationalists (Chrystia Freeland anyone? – a real Baba Yaga that one).
The reaction to the trucker convoy showed me that there are still outstanding individuals with a backbone in this country, many more than I thought. But unfortunately not enough are awake and we will have to collectively hit rock bottom for people to see what is in front of them. Things are too rotten to fix from within. I am willing to be here to rebuild, if there is something to rebuild, but we’ll see.
All that to say, only God knows our fate. I don’t think there is a place on Earth where you can escape the current struggle which runs much deeper than meets the eye. That doesn’t mean you have to stay here though.
hornet, thank you for the reply. Yes i have been thinking about moving but i dont know where. usa is very hard to move to, thats the only place ill move to. Your comment about rebuilding canada after rock bottom. do you think its worth to bother staying for the crash.
Without knowing our fate that is impossible to answer. You have to look at your own circumstances.
Some say that in times of urgency you’re better off in a place you are familiar with and with people you know. Good luck!

Does anyone think they could compete with the likes of Hilary Clinton?
Our Northern English Girls might be rubbish against trying to compete against such American Evil
But they did that from their own hearts and souls, trying to stop war.
I am in awe of these Northern English Girls
I did not even try and do that, but I am on the same side as these Girls…in fact there is a lot of us about.

In fact England has the highest level of immigration of any country in the world
How come all these people risk their lives wanting to move to England in rubber boats?
I know I live in the best most attractive country in the world – even though our politicians are useless and our Queen is Dead…
So far as I can perceive, absolutely no one hates Liz Truss (though she was pretty useless) and hardly anyone ever hated our Queen

Tony
Tony…Truss said Ukraine would recieve another 2.3b as Bojo did so you falsely claim she wants to stop the war…she has said she wants Russia defeated. Delusional. Remember she got mainly voted in by an older generation of her party..intensively russophobic and still trying to project an empirical model greatly outdated… just as her philosophy and political agenda i without taking into account the world context.
So….what do you prefer Tony…her 2.3 b to continue the war or 1.3 b which would cover the nurses well deserved pay rise. Choose. Because clearly Tories prefer to fund Ukraine forever a psychopathic “country” not in Nato nor EU….and want Nato spending to increase to 3% GDP.
The really sad part about the UK is that the conservatives are bought out by the globalists and are neocons… while the liberals are real socialists.
The UK is today where the US was during the Clinton years.
Hopefully they will stop before the Rise of the Neo Liberals.
Honestly, the UK need a new Oliver Cromwell.
I think that the Irish would disagree. It is a sad (and, really, horrible) thing that Cromwell is considered a hero by anybody.
Andrei
…this is yet another sign that the real (Orthodox) Christians are much closer culturally to the Muslim world than to the post-Christian “West”.
You’re correct Andrei. Orthodox Christians and Muslims are actually close culturally though I would argue that not many of them — Christians and Muslims, both — realise this. The exceptions are perhaps the Orthodox Christians and Muslims in Russia, Syria and Jerusalem.
Most Muslim countries would never allow the depiction of a revered prophet — necessarily derived from imagination as you say — much less a ‘hyper-realistic’ depiction of Jesus Christ to be displayed publically (or even be brought into the country.) To my mind Spain and the lands of western Christianity have indeed been transformed over the centuries into the abode of the agents of the Antichrist. I have held this belief for quite a while now. There is nothing sacred anymore — God and the prophets have now been reduced to being objects of curiosity and ridicule.
PS. Nice cartoon.
Thank you!

Marillion; Beautiful (1999 Remaster)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BJi8e8AIO4
John, Thanks for that about Marillion and Fish, which so far as I remember, might have seen them at the Marquee…but we as normal were going to Stonehenge (I am lucky I have got a nice hippy wife – even now – we are Grandparents with a little baby Grandaughter – the size of a fish – not seen her for a week, but we will soon)
We queued up fo 10 hours to get into Glastonbury, to pay £10 to get in.
Marillion were headlining in 1985..
It was very big, and a rocket went straight through our tent, but we were unharmed.
But I was in love with my girlfriend…
She never did drugs. Half a tab of LSD put her off drugs for life.
So I gave it all up, even alcohol, except for an occosional drink..
Lets do it for real.
Lets get married, and make a Baby.
I stopped taking the drugs, and she stopped taking the pill.
3 weeks later she pissed on this plastic thing – and came screaming to me
“I am Pregnant”
Happiest time in my life.
Grandchildren now.
and they go on about all this war and stuff
We have seen Fish Recently at Weyfest – still the same – though a bit bald now and more intense.

The RT article has very good links to all the Shroud research done over years.
What is missing are the Roman torturers, busy at Golgotha, that most barbaric hill.
And especially missing is smirking Pontius Pilate with the Emperor’s execution order in hand from the Emperor’s niece, Pilate’s wife, and saying let the people decide. Everything such regimes do is legal, as Hitler’s Carl Schmitt ensured.
As regards Islam, Mohammed’s teacher was a Nestorian Christian – Nestor was thrown out over the divinity question, the Arian heresy, denying Logos follows equally from the Father, and the Son.
Monotheism , common to Islam, Christianity, Judaism, originates with Pharaoh Akhenaton, Tutankhamen’s father. He got the idea from Nefertiti, his wife, a Hittite. There is a major discussion that Akhanaton was in fact Moses. Every Aton inscription was destroyed by Amon followers who had lost the power of multi-theism.
On the survival of Indian Nations
Many years ago I watched an IMAX film on the Grand Canyon and will never forget the scene near the beginning. There were four or five colonial men all white walking through some bushes and turning a corner stopped dead cold with the camera angle squarely on the expressions on the faces of the men as they stood there motionless and in gobsmacked awe. What it made you think were they looking at exactly and then the camera of course panned around to show the viewer what they were looking at? The first Europeans to see the Grand Canyon.
The poor natives try and imagine being in a pub on the waterfront and listening to the stories and testimonies of the sailors who returned from their explorations of the worlds nations? Imagine the stories of just America alone and the wonders to be had?
Lust and greed will drive men insane and it did.
Didn’t Christ say it best replying to those woman crying for Him ‘Yeah, don’t cry for me but for yourselves, for if they do these things when the tree is green what will they do when it is dry?’
Europe was dry with wars like the 300 hundred year war and the new world green, lush green and full of gold which Columbus brought home and was knighted for it!
The natives never stood a chance.
Indeed, well do I remember reading as a sea cadet the laws of the sea. To keep order on board laws were so draconian one couldn’t even gossip about a fellow seamen without having your ear cut off. Laws that never applied to guess who?
The natives never stood a chance.
As for technology for all of the good it has bestowed it has and will destroy us.
Again from the Age of Discovery I remember reading of the first great sailing ships to traverse the oceans and came across a testimony of one such event where a ship had come to a complete stop in the sea and the sailors were in a panic as to why? There was wind in the sails but no movement and then one of the sailors had a look over the side into the water and found to his great dismay they had around aground on a school of fish. So numerous they were that the friction brought them to a complete stop. Wow!
Today you will never see or encounter this because we have raped the sea.
and that brings me to TV. I was just a youngster and I again will never forget a scene from a commercial on TV. It began with the camera at the front hooves of a horse standing in discarded garbage and then it panned out to reveal the horse standing next to a 8 lane highway. Sitting on the horse of course was a Native Indian in full regalia and then the camera panned towards the tears on his face as he gazed out over a world that he once knew but was gone.
The poor natives never stood a chance not even the converted to Christianity by the Moravian Church. They I guess were especially dangerous?

I am surprised to see you refer to Israel as an agent in this context. My understanding is that since Russia’s active resistance to US hegemony in the Ukraine, together with its presence in Syria, Israel has been pushed into military paralysis on the military front in terms of the possibilities available to it of active warfare and therefore it can no longer fight a war in the region any more. This is not to say that it cannot and does not indulge in covert actions of all sorts. But I would contend that it can no longer conduct any serious and real military actions against Lebanon and Syria. The bombing of various “soft” targets in Syria are more for the home audience than for any tactical, let alone strategic, benefits.
It should also go without saying that there is even less possibility of Israel attacking Iran which has military capacities which can wipe Israel off the map without resorting to any atomic weapons which they do not have, and in any case, they do not need.
The reason for this assessment lies in the fact that Israel no longer has US physical military backing because the US itself no longer has the military strength in terms of materiel to supply to Israel that can take on the Lebanese/Hizbollah and Iranian (nd possibly Syrian missile capabilities that can wipe Israel off the map, if need be. Israel’s atomic capacity is of no value in this operational framework because they have no means to stop the missiles as well as its possible/probable boomerang effect on the Israeli population itself.
In other words, Israel no longer has a fighting force that is far superior to that of its neighbors, a situation that did prevail until fairly recently.
In addition, I think that the obvious political backing of the Ukraine by Israel has finally cut the “sentimental” attachment of Russia towards Israel, which was spoken about because of the huge Russian immigrant population in Israel which came after the collapse of the Soviet Union. And I believe we see the dropping of such “sentiments” in the way the military operation of Russia in the Ukraine has developed: the “soft” approach of the SMO where the Ukrainians were considered ‘brothers” and now the no-holds-barred attacks on infrastructure, clearing the way for a serious physical attack against the country despite the loss of civilian Ukrainian lives that will be involved, although no doubt care will be taken to prevent, as much as possible, the killing of the hors de combat population.
In Israel, because of its size and the distribution of the population, there simply is no real hors de combat space. The Army Headquarters are in Central Tel Aviv and many other army basis are at located within population centers. This means that the “separation” principle used by the Russians in Ukraine, to distinguish between military targets and civilian targets does not hold in Israel, except in the Occupied West bank and the Gaza Strip.
I think the cartoon is one in a series. Who made it?
Yesterday the Duran published a link to another cartoon featuring the same Nazi pig. The pig enters a gate emblazoned with the EU flag’s stars and starts causing mayhem (possibly an allegory to the mayhem certain Ukrainian ‘refugees’ reportedly were causing). This causes the pig to get thrown out. The Russian bear then forces the pig back through the gate and slams it shut, followed by a message stated by the URL:
