So, as predicted by pretty much everybody, the long announced false flag has happened. Yes, it was very poorly executed, botched really, but in a way this makes it even MORE effective? Why? It conditions the public of Zone A to uncritically accept any fairy tale, no matter how stupid, illogical and otherwise going against both basic common sense and basic logic. In a way, Bucha is really MH-17 reloaded. Yes, they appear different, but in reality they are built exactly according to the same model. It goes something like this:
- Russia was/is winning while the cannon fodder of the Empire of Hate and Lies was/is clearly being defeated.
- The leaders of the Empire of Hate and Lies want to make Russia pay as high a price for daring to defy the leaders of the Empire of Hate and Lies, and so an atrocity was quickly arranged for and propagandized urbi et orbi. And it worked. Each time.
- In order to prevent any real investigation, the Empire of Hate and Lies IMMEDIATELY proclaims that “those evil Snow Niggers” did it and then declares that to be “self-evident, indisputable common knowledge” and anybody asking questions is, therefore, a “Putin agent”. I guess the West’s infatuation with “diversity”, no matter how obscenely grotesque, does not apply to ideas, opinions or views…
Those simple acts have proven that they are extremely effective in turning most of Zone A into a Russophobic lynch mob.
Check out this list of article titles I just saw a few minutes on RT: (no need to read them, I just list them to “set the mood”, so to speak)
- EU explains why it continues to arm Ukraine
- Major Russian banks hit by sanctions
- US reveals more military aid for Ukraine
- Major conflict between great powers more likely – General Milley
- More EU members kick out Russian diplomats
- France announces mass expulsion of Russian diplomats
- Finland reveals timeline of possible NATO accession
- US sells more fighter jets in Europe
That is only the already usual nonsense, but now there is even more truly crazy stuff, check those out:
- US warns of Chinese nuclear breakthrough
- NATO to target China – Stoltenberg
- Japan discloses revised military plans
- Australia makes major move on missiles
- Europe’s plan to ban Russian coal sends prices higher
- Hungary at risk of losing billions in EU funding
- US sanctions Putin’s family
I could continue the list, but you get it, the leaders of the Empire of Hate and Lies have fully opened the “Hate and Lies” valve and it appears that they are seriously “losing it”.
Remember how in the Skripal and MH-17 cases EU countries joined in the sanctions out of “solidarity”?
I personally would call that cowardice and submissiveness, but “solidarity” works too. Well, the Eurolemmings have solidarized themselves into their own grave and now there is no undoing what they did to themselves.
From the Russian point of view, it is rather straightforward: Russia tried to encourage EU countries to use their own judgment and act in their own interests. It is now quite clear that as long as they get to brown-nose Uncle Shmuel the Eurolemmings are quite content with their fate. Russia needs to flush the EU down her “mental toilet” and only deal with sovereign countries which have retained enough agency to defend their own interests. In the EU that means Hungary and, to a much lesser degree, Serbia (not the people, of course, but the government which remains subservient to the Eurolemmings).
The Bucha massacre itself will go down Zone A’s collective memory hole, that’s where all the previous false flags of the Empire of Hate and Lies have gone. Once a demonization operation has served its use, it can be forgotten.
So what are the purposes of the Bucha false flag:
- Change the narrative from the (non-existing) Ukronazi “victories” to “stop the Russian atrocities”
- Obfuscate the DELUGE of evidence (witnesses and forensic) showing that it was the Ukronazis who engaged in mass atrocities in Mariupol. Remember – Ukrainian victims are sacred, Russian victims are simply irrelevant. In fact, a Russian CAN NOT be a victim unless he is anti-Putin, then it’s okay.
- To condition (I mean that in the psychological sense) the TV watching serfs of the Empire of Lies and Hate to hate anything Russian with a searing, explosive, hated. Declare that Putin is now the “New Hitler” (though Putin has been Hitler pretty much since 2000, it’s just that now he is even MORE Hitler than before) and Russia some kind of broken, poor, and otherwise horrible Mordor.
- Use this pretext to try to eject Russia and Russians from as many locations and organizations on the planet as possible. That means all of Zone A for sure, but also plenty of locations and organizations in Zone B where the comprador ruling set the tone and don’t give a damn about their own people and country.
- Try to scare Putin with the same fate as Gaddafi, Milosevic, and Hussein who were all demonized and later murdered.
If you think about it, I think that it is fair to say that these are all clear signs that the Empire of Hate and Lies has now declared total war on Russia, just short of overtly actually attacking Russian forces or Russia, of course. In fact, Russia and the Empire of Hate and Lies have been at war since at least 2013, and Russia had to make many concessions to the Empire simply because from 2013-2021 Russia did not have:
- A military that could take on NATO and win. She does now.
- The kind of advanced strategic deterrence systems (nuclear and conventional) she now has.
- A stabilized southern axis (Middle-East, Caucasus, Central Asia) from which no threat can realistically come.
- A legal case to justify the decision to openly intervene in the Ukraine
- A society that would not crumble under the tremendous pressure of US PSYOPS
- A society in which the 5th columnists, the 6th columnists, and the Atlantic Integrationists have been pretty much totally discredited.
- An economy that could survive the kind of total economic war unleashed nowadays
- A system of alliances Russia could count on (remember Lukashenko’s and Nazarbayev’s “multipolarity” of the mid-10s?)
- Large enough stores of advanced weapons for a long campaign
- The real and full support of China
Interestingly, while the idiots in the West saw each Russian compromise and retreat as a sign of Russian weakness (including supposed well-wishers of Russia, who acted like typical 6th columnists), none of these wannabe armchair strategists had the intelligence to see that with each concession Russia APPEARED to be weaker and weaker while IN REALITY she was getting stronger and stronger right under the Empire of Hate and Lie’s collective nose :-)
Now that all which has been previously hidden or misunderstood is becoming clear for all to see, and in this context, Bucha is the Empire of Lies’ declaration of TOTAL war against Russia.
The leaders of the Empire of Hate and Lies know the real score, not only in Mariupol or the Donbass, but about this entire war whose scope and purpose have caught the West totally by surprise (and me too!), and now they are scrambling to retain a semblance of control. And, let me tell you, they are not.
The collective West has now fully adopted a strategy first invented by the Israelis: if you cannot win a real war, win an imaginary one. And just as the IDF bombing some border post between Syria and Iraq makes no military sense or even any difference whatsoever, it is great for the morale of the Israelis who, just like the folks in the West, feel a strong sense of racial superiority over their Arab neighbors so they *need* “victories” to boost their own egos and conceal the fact that Israel’s neighbors have lost any fear they might have had in the past. What has to remain the biggest secret of them all is that, in reality, it is Israel which fears its neighbors (and it should!). Hence all the Israeli hysterics about BDS, or the term “Apartheid”, and all the crap about anti-Semitism: they are all designed to hide the truth, and first and foremost from the Israelis themselves who all suffer from what Gilad Atzmon very accurately calls “the pre-traumatic stress disorder”.
Bombing a Russian border post, however, is not an option for the Empire of Hate and Lies – that would be waaaaaaaaay too dangerous. So, instead, the Empire scores political “victories”, stuff like sending old weapons to Lvov, threaten to take Putin to the ICC, or make noises about super-dooper hypersonic weapons the US is about to develop and deploy.
Sooner or later, the delusional and ignorant psychopaths which run the Empire of Hate and Lies will come to realize that far from breaking Russia, they committed collective economic, political, social, moral, spiritual, and, of course, military suicide and they will be left with *nothing* else to do that try a desperate military provocation. I hope that I am wrong, but I don’t see how the united West could de-escalate from the corner it painted itself into.
Both the USA and the EU are run not by individuals, but by a class (in the Marxist sense of the word) which we can conceptually call the “1%ers”. One percent seems small, but in the USA 1% is over 3 MILLION people, and in the EU this is almost 4,5 MILLION people. Throw in colonies like Japan, Australia, Taiwan, and others and we can see that it is reasonable to assume that there are about 10’000’000 very rich and very powerful people out there who want to see Russia dead and gone forever.
These people will NEVER be voted out of power. Oh sure, here and there, for a while, some will lose an election and an outsider might be voted in, but that is what economic sanctions are for: to punish those nations which vote for the “wrong” candidate (like Hungary just did).
Consider this: the leaders of the West have always preferred actual warfare to any risk of social warfare (inability, protests, riots, shortages, etc.). So the “wait, we just shot our economies, let’s send more weapons to the Ukraine” is the only kind of “logic” these folks are capable of. And just to make sure that the TV watching serfs “get it” “correctly”, they will either do a false flag at the UN (Powell), in their own country (9/11), or outside (Srebrenica, Ghouta, etc.).
In other words, it is all going according to the script. Not because that is “the plan” but simply because that is what the Empire of Hate and Lies does. It is the ONLY thing that Empire knows to do very well: hate and lie.
It is not just Banderastan that needs to be denazified – it is the entire Empire of Hate and Lies. And I have no clue whatsoever how to denazify 10 MILLION Nazis from our entire planet without a major war.
The false flag in Bucha is not only a declaration of total war on Russia, it is also a rallying call for those 10 million who run Zone A and a good part of Zone B. The fact that it was botched really makes no difference. If you have a brain, you know who did it and why, and if you don’t, you know it was Russia, on Putin’s personal order, no less.
And I predicted exactly that when I wrote (many times) that as soon as the “the Ukies are kicking the Russkies’ ass” narrative becomes unsustainable, which it now has, it will be changed to “Russian atrocities”.
Next, I fully expect NATO weapon convoys to be camouflaged as civilian and when the Russians begin striking them, there will be even MORE cries about “atrocities”. To be clear, I do NOT believe that NATO is sending weapons to the Ukraine to make a military difference, and I believe that the NATO leaders know that.
My fear is that the 3B+PU will try to make the Russians attack those convoys: if the Russians do not, Western armchair generals will resume their cries to high heaven about “Russia is letting NATO arm the Ukie, Putin is about to sell out!!!” and if Russia does strike these weapon convoys, then they will instantly become “trains of refugees” and “humanitarian safe zones” or whatever crap the Anglo PSYOPS will come up with.
Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Which might sound like an unsolvable dilemma, but that is simply not true. If you are going to get hated in either case – then, by all means, do “it”. And that seems to be the conclusion to which not only the Kremlin (and it’s Eurasian Sovereignists) have come to, but also the general public whose approval rating for both Putin and the Special Military Operation (SMO) has gone up. Even better, there are signs that the Russian society is bracing for a “long war”, lasting months for sure, maybe even into next year.
We are 41 days into this horror and the end is nowhere near in sight, and remember that the real objective of Russia and China is not “just” to disarm and denazify the Nazi-occupied Ukraine, it is to completely change the European collective security architecture which, in turn, is the cornerstone of the Empire of Lies worldwide. This will most probably take several years unless the coming economic crisis is even much worse than I expect it to be (in my total ignorance of economic topics).
Conclusion:
The Empire of Lies already understands that it lost Banderastan, so it executed the Bucha massacre to change the narrative and trigger a TOTAL “Cancel Russia” war. The WWII Nazis used the term “final solution” and that is what the Bucha false flag signals: the decision by Uncle Shmuel to achieve a “final solution” to the “Russian problem”.
This is the West’s way to signal that it too is now entering into its own 2nd phase of the war.
Signal received, loud and clear.

It won’t be possible to keep Russia out of UN Security Council.
In an interview with MSNBC’s The “ReidOut” on 5 April 2022, US Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield admitted that it would not be possible to exclude Russia from the Security Council.
Since day one of the Russian intervention in Ukraine, the United States has consulted with almost all of UN Member States in an effort to prepare for the exclusion of Russia.
Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield is now pushing to make Russia’s position in the Council particularly uncomfortable, a goal which she has already set in motion by accusing Moscow of committing a massacre in Bucha.
https://www.voltairenet.org/article216402.html
I’m not so sure that the Bucha botch-up has had that much effect. Certainly it has triggered the leaders of the Emporer’s chorus line to bark dutifully in accord with the pre-written song sheet. But that is their job and they know it and are well-practiced.
However below that elevated level of Imperial arse-licking it seems a bit of a fizzer, perhaps even a damaging slip of the vital facade.
Media in Australia has left the story relatively well alone, and approached it with relative caution when it has been thrust at them by a talking head, much like one treats a randomly discovered bag with a smell poor enough to indicate something nasty inside that you don’t want to get on you. Even US State Dept. and Pentagon statements have expressed some ambivalence as to the cause of the event.
The intent of the action, and the will behind it, was absolutely as this article describes. I’d not be so certain though of its overall positive effect in service of that cause.
The whole world will be denazified, starting from Banderistan.
Best case scenario- Zone A folks realise what is happening and join in the effort and the whole thing happens in a couple of years.
Worst case scenario- The Nazis retreat into five eyes and Europe and it takes a decade to do the job or they get quarantined and the the rest of the world Carrie’s on normally.
The global South, including Japan,Korea, Taiwan, will realise, once Banderistan is identified that the hegemon is no more and will soon abandon it. Same goes for the rest of Zone B.
Keep an eye out for Coke and McD sales to go down in countries or they move out. A sure sign that the Empire is in retreat.
Also keep and eye out for the “accepted wisdoms” of the Empire to be increasingly questioned or simply rejected. More difficult to ascertain but a powerful indicator.
Every country has its Atlanticist fifth column. Some openly, most covert. Watch for them to jump ship. Another sign of the success of the global denazification process.
We need to demand global denazification. As with any infectious disease only localised eradication will never solve the problem.
By the way, the Empire wants Opium War 3 with China. NATO just as announced it. Sorry don’t have the links but should not be difficult to find.
There are two events that appear to be of high importance in this war. The most important one is the ruble issue. That truly is a nuclear financial blow to the US Europe and the West. They never believed that could happen. The US dollar was thought to be sacred and untouchable. The other is the trap that is now Mariupol, there’s someone or something of great importance there. The west and NATO’s heads are spinning on their shoulders with fear of what’s going to be captured or discovered there.
Let’s be clear; The West/USA is using the only weapon that is available to them: information warfare. They know that they can not compete militarily. and even economically with Russia. Their information warfare only works because the western public are dumbed down sheep. Their Information warfare antics reflect the emotional and intellectual level of a 5 year old.
Saker says that the US and EU are run by a class in the Marxist sense of the word. Marx said that the capitalist class is motivated solely by profit. But this class is not just motivated by profit. They are also seeking sexual gratification through doing Evil, eg. through the subjugation of populations. They are freaks! Marx looked at human problems through a class struggle lens (capitalist class v. working class). As did I until the COVID “situation” happened. I am now truly Apolitical. I look at human problems through a “Cult’ lens: Cult leaders and Cult followers v. free thinking rebels.
“Marx said that the capitalist class is motivated solely by profit. ”
Mr. Marx was also aware that simultaneously the capitalist class is motivated by power and at varying points more motivated by power than profit.
I do not have the reference at hand, but it exists in the archives of Progress Publishers and was in one of Mr. Marx’s journalistic pieces in relation to colonialism – in China if memory serves – which formed part of the collected works of Marx and Engels Published by Progress Publishers in Moscow in various languages from 1971 onwards.
“A lie travels halfway around the world before the truth puts on its shoes. By the time the truth catches up, it’s too late. The lie has become lore. And that’s what’s so worrying.”–Dr. Heather Cox Richardson
That seems to be the problem. Lies become truth. It takes a lot of mental energy to change one’s mind once you have accepted something, even something you should have questioned in the first place.
I’m reminded of the Maidan snipers. First, there wsa to be no investigation. Then there was an “investigation” by the new government of Ukraine that simply said the Yanukovych government was responsible. But the evidence I saw pointed to someone associated with the protesters.
I’m not worried about the lies demoralizing Russia or China since they have control over their information spaces and hostile media outlets have been banned.
The problems I can see are secondary allies of Russia who are still vulnerable to this propaganda machine of the Empire, namely Pakistan and India. These are the countries that are still nominally “democratic”. (ie subverted by western elitist interests) They don’t have full control of their own information spaces and can still be turned against Russia and China. They represent the weaker flanks of the resistance against the Empire. It’s not a surprise that they just tried to take down Khan with a no confident vote. I suspect the same type of action is already being triggered against Modi.
Very true. Russian media directed abroad should be aimed at Zone B countries.
Secondary allies as you call them but I would call them allies who need help to move away from the empire.
Does the Anglozaxon want to create Israel 2 to (wishful thinking) control Russia like they have been doing to the Arabs?
https://www.rt.com/russia/553365-ukraine-will-be-big-israel/
Here in the USA, Bucha is being talked about in the mainstream leftwing Lügenpresse, but the right-wing independent media is instead talking about the Hunter Biden scandals and the “OK Groomer” stuff surrounding Disney Corp attacking Florida’s new anti-grooming bill. Too many people on the right sympathize with Ukraine due to old neocon instincts, but it appears to be falling off, and standing with Ukraine is coming to be seen as a left-wing thing. Especially since all the RINOs that GOP voters hate, as well as all the Democrats, are also banging on about Ukraine.
Saker often points out that the Russian government’s counter-psyops are a joke… but I was talking to my brother recently, and he pointed out that the Russian government has not made any attempts at all to outreach to the right-wing American voter base. Instead, I’ve noticed that Russia keeps cultivating ties with the Communists in Cuba and Venezuela, who are completely ideologically-paralyzed incompetents, nothing to admire at all, and essentially the end-point for what the Empire of Lies wants for the population of the entire West. (Here’s a clue for the Kremlin: if the Empire of Lies keeps accusing you of doing something — such as propping up the American populist right — maybe it’s something they fear, and therefore something you SHOULD be doing.)
The Bucha false-flag might just be a hasty cover-up for all those reprisals the Azov’s carried out 2.5 days after the Russians left.
“Always accuse your opponent of what you are doing”, from “Rules For Radicals”
Interesting thoughts by Andrei but he is giving the empire of lies too much credit. Bucha represents pure desperation and reuse of the dirty play book that they use everywhere (Syria especially). They do knee-jerk reactions. They don’t think steps ahead and consider repercussions of their actions. They dictate and expect the world, and their victims, to follow suit and then turn back to their overused playbook of plan Bs when Plan A fails.
I think one mistake you make in your analysis of the West is that the media (and its overlords) represents the majority opinions and desires of the citizens of the West. In my experience this is not even close to being true. In the US the election of Donald Trump represented what the majority really wanted. Sure it was fought tooth and nail by the entrenched elites/media and then overthrown in the 2020 election fraud but it did show that there is a very large and increasingly aggressive majority that does not share the opinions and desires of the media. I believe you will see over the next 2 to 4 years a huge shift in the position of the US in world affairs. Will we be Russia’s best friends, probably not but at least we won’t be foaming at the mouth to see Russia destroyed. I believe we will see a multi polar world where the major players genuinely wish to work together for the betterment of all people.
I work as a counselor with abused children.
I just had an introductory session with a new 7-year-old boy.
In my typical getting to know you interview I asked what he thought he would do when he grew up.
He said immediately and enthusiastically that he hoped to be “in the military, hopefully the American military.”
He said that he looked forward eagerly to going to Ukraine, “and killing a whole bunch of Russians.”
When I asked how come, he looked at me with startled confusion and said “don’t you watch TV???”
“It’s not just Banderastan that needs to be denazified – it’s the entire Empire of Hatred and Lies. And I have no idea how to denazify 10 MILLION Nazis across our planet without a major war.”
Yes, perfect. I ask God to be merciful to humanity, because the horizon brings dark clouds laden with death.
“The Bucha massacre itself will go down Zone A’s collective memory hole,…”
It must be very difficult to have too many bodies in streets. The videos show only one street most of the time and then vague snippets where the place is not clearly known, maybe one more Bucha street. The “massacre” consists of those 10 bodies at most – between 7 and 10. Four or five of them are in the neighborhood street shown the most. Whatever the means by which they died, these images do not justify the accusation made. It’s too few people for the “massacre” denounced. It is enough for the accusation of fakery that Russia is raising: It’s easier to place a handful of dead bodies in one street – play the same image many times on TV – than have hundreds/thousands in the streets as the denounced massacre would have to show. The retort would be that the Russians buried all the dead bodies and forgot the five or six bodies in this one street, but then they would have to pursue this further. Anyway, the identities of any people missing are needed! Easier to bring a few bodies of victims – about 10 persons – and hide their faces so their relatives can’t be sure they saw them when the image is shown, and to not even give their names for that matter…few though they are in the streets shown. The Russian case of a false flag provocation is much stronger than the Ukrainian case of a massacre in Bucha. Bucha had a population of 36,971 in 2021. If it were actually 20 bodies that were shown (I don’t think so), it doesn’t change the meaning of this scenario. Beyond this, there’s a lot of data and evidence missing in the accusation. I mentioned the missing bodies and names. All the living people have been like hiding in their houses; nobody comes out after the town’s assumed liberation as if the Russians were still there? There would have to be witnesses for the wide-ranging massacre that the city reputedly suffered. The evidence that is presented or missing for the accusation defines whether it’s true or false. Ukraine says true, Russia says false. (An investigation is needed.)
“…Use this pretext to try to eject Russia and Russians from as many locations and organizations on the planet as possible.”
It’s a mistake or too risky not to wait for some outcomes and go all out like this. For war is largely defined by the victors and Ukraine can lose against Russia. Russia wins; and then most countries accept the victory as the new fact to live with; it’s easier to believe then that the losing side did not “deserve” the victory. Nobody wants to be with the loser and carry his burden. This is a war: Somebody will win big and somebody will lose big. If you are another country and seek a good outcome for yourself, you wait for the smoke to clear more and then you were always right! The two Russian proposals made clear that for the West the greatest and winning move was to accept both with only some amendments – to surprise the Russians, that is, and not to just wish they had been first in sending theirs months or a year earlier. The second best was to tell Ukraine that they will not be able to help it militarily in any way, shape or form if a war ensued between it and Russia. This would have given Ukraine the best chance to avoid the war. All other choices put the final outcome in the hands of Russia.
“in Zone B where the comprador ruling set the tone and don’t give a damn about their own people and country.”
Okay, but in Zone B it is difficult to side with the U.S. when it wins even, so that much harder when it is perceived to have lost. I think most of Zone B is keeping its choices open (like Argentina is).
“…and they will be left with *nothing* else to do that try a desperate military provocation. I hope that I am wrong, but I don’t see how the united West could de-escalate from the corner it painted itself into.”
Who knows, but I don’t think so. What is more worrisome is what Russia will decide to do; how far it will press its military advantage in its region. Nobody can control that. That’s why those two options were the only ones, and only the first a winning one. The second was about being good enough to stay away from any war so far away against such a military power. Doing that looks like a sinking hole already: “Pain”; “more weapons, more sanctions”; “avoid WWIII”; “we don’t want to send troops”; “we don’t want a war with Russia”, and always forgetting that Russia is on the other side and can have the ‘last word’, as these contradictions point to.
“Armas para Ucrânia, Armas para Ucrânia…”
Todos sabemos que não é bem assim, muito dinheiro destinado a contas ocultas e muita movimentação real de equipamentos nas fronteiras russas.
A mesma coisa antes dos ataques contra o Iraque e o Afeganistão só que dessa vez, com a desculpa “para Ucrânia”…
Só não vê quem é cego, os Noruegueses é que estão certos, acabaram com os estoques de comprimidos de Iodo das farmácias…
Eles enxergam longe…
Não se iludam, Putin avisou antes, algumas cabeças irão rolar se esses imbecis resolverem atacar.
Não creio uma guerra nuclear total mas, alguns centros de comando e locais chave como portos, ferrovias, aeroportos, locais de armazenamento de combustíveis, irão sofrer sérias consequencias nas primeiras horas, a desnazificação é só uma pequena amostra do que está por vir.
Ouvi muitas histórias dagera boca da minha avó austríaca que veio para o Brasil depois da primeira guerra mundial, sei muito bem o que é passar fome e frio, uma ligação direta de como as coisas podem ficar feias.
Essas gerações, as últimas quatro ou seis, dependendo como se conta, se uma granada de morteiro 60mm cair a trinta metros, entrarão em colapso intestinal.
Espero que o caos econômico e uma boa guerra civil ocorram nos EUA antes que os mísseis nucleares sejam utilizados no Hemisfério Norte.
Que Deus nos tenha!
:-)

“Guns for Ukraine, Guns for Ukraine…”
We all know that’s not the case, a lot of money destined for hidden accounts and a lot of real movement of equipment on Russian borders.
Same thing before the attacks on Iraq and Afghanistan, only this time, with the excuse “for Ukraine”…
You just can’t see who’s blind, the Norwegians are right, they ran out of pharmacies’ stock of iodine pills…
They see far…
Make no mistake, Putin warned earlier, some heads are going to roll if these assholes decide to attack.
I do not believe in a total nuclear war, but some command centers and key locations such as ports, railways, airports, fuel storage sites, will suffer serious consequences in the first hours, denazification is just a small sample of what is to come.
I heard many stories from the mouth of my Austrian grandmother who came to Brazil after the first world war, I know very well what it’s like to be hungry and cold, a direct link to how ugly things can get.
Those generations, the last four or six, depending on how you count, if a 60mm mortar shell drops at thirty meters, they will collapse in their intestines.
I hope economic chaos and a good civil war ensue in the US before nuclear missiles are deployed in the Northern Hemisphere.
May God have us!

Andrei,
Regarding the Empire of Lies, I thought you might like this article:
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/us-using-declassified-intel-fight-info-war-russia-even-intel-isnt-rock-rcna23014
They openly admit to lying through the use of “not rock solid” intelligence reports…but it’s okay because it is used to “keep Putin off balance”.
Specifically the article mentions that US intel knew there was not a threat of chemical weapons being used by Russia but they said it anyway in order to somehow keep Russia from using them by claiming they would…or some nonsense like that.
We know the true motive behind these false intel reports was to condition the people to believe Russia would attempt to orchestrate an atrocity on some level similar to that. Now we have the Bucha false flag and people are just eating up…
Keep of the good work and know your efforts are not in vain!
Iron Curtain 2.0 will last many years, perhaps decades. Prepare accordingly
Thank you for your holistic and well thought out analysis.
Remember Kosovo?!
The aggression on Serbia came after the atrocities phase but let’s not forget that it was preceded by about 9 years of sanctions that begen in 1990 when US passed a regulation forbidding loans to any republic of the former Yugoslavia until they have declared independence.
The same scenario is being played out now.
Thus I see two more goals that explain everything that the collective West is doing:
1. To ware down and weaken Russia over years in preparation for any decision to actually attack in the future.
2. To justify assassination of Putin in case they are able to pull it off.
Serbia had no allies. Serbia had no air defense and no precision long range weapons. It nevertheless rallied around its imperfect president and was not defeated. (The semi-defeat came after the war through buying off and imposing Atlantist governments.)
Russia is 20 times bigger than Serbia, with much bigger economy, much better military and weapons, and allies. Russia on top of all of this has a strong and masterful leader. Let’s pray for his health and well-being.
In case fight is unavoidable Putin’s Russia will (again as on Feb 24th) strike first.
There are two main cases:
1 – Russia has the ability to detect/follow and kill all or most of NATO SSBNs, thus degrading considerably nuclear retaliation ability for NATO/US. This case increases considerably the likelihood of a first strike any time soon especially if NATO current hysteria reaches sky high…
It is whispered that every SSBN leaving port is immediately being stalked by at least one nuclear attack sub meant to kill it upon receiving order to. This is a very strong variable because other NATO vectors are less likely to be in 100% shape to perform their duties considering they are more vulnerable to first strikes and countermeasures (Air Defense). Also Russian citizens can benefit from a huge network of nuclear shelters in every city and are trained regularly to access them. Russian Subways have airtight doors that would efficiently protect against fallout.
2 – Russia has not.
*****
In case 1: Nuclear + Conventional 1st Strike.
Early stage:
Possible EMP strike over Western Europe and North America could take place at this stage. Targeting of communication satellites, submarine cables, will bring down all coms and positionning systems (no more computer, phone, internet and GPS civil and military). EW systems will be buzzing continuously jamming remaining coms.
Destruction of special antenna meant to communicate with submarines at sea would be destroyed by redundant strikes: NATO Extremely Low Frequency Transmitter Sites would be targeted in order to severe all comunication with Submarines in deep waters.
Over-the-horizon radars would also be part of early priority targets.
Russia will perform the massive tentative killing of all NATO SSBNs (US+UK+Fr) at sea and in harbors, using all means including nuclear torpedoes exploding in (supposed) close vicinity of those NATO SSBNs.
Russian citizens will be sent to shelters: “This is NOT a drill”!
Almost simultaneously: Hypersonics with conventional warheads + tactical nukes will tentatively wipe out all remaining NATO military assets, priorizing surface fleets (about 2,000 ships), airports, harbors, depots, troop concentrations. They need to suppress all 17 CSGs (Carriers Strike Groups: 11 US, 2 Brits, 1 French, 1 Spanish, 2 Italians ). ICBM silos will receive Nuclear missiles in redundant strikes. Most missiles expected thru the North Pole route – radars could be evaded by early strikes from the South side from subs close to territorial waters.
During the cold war, Warsaw pact European offensive plan included use of about 40 Nukes on Western Europe.
Strike upon North America (military assets) would ask for probably double target amount + redundancy safety = 140 to 200 nukes.
Swarms of hypersonic vectors would be preferable because of the reduced time between detection of strike and impacts.
In Case 2: “No-Nuke” Conventional 1st Strike using massive hypersonics amount upon main targets while minor targets could be hit by traditional slower cruise missiles especially if fired from subs sneaked into proximity. There is a need for huge number of hypersonics (for instance one may need 3 hypersonics hits to sink an aircraft carrier NATO has 17 Carriers + many ships able to launch aircrafts of different types – amphibious assault ships). NATO Navies amount to about 2,000 surface ships. No less than 4,000 to 6,000 hypersonics, better 10,000 to 12,000 to treat most NATO military targets. Ships being slow assets, smaller ones could be treated by supersonic missiles with conventional warheads (Kalibr type which exist in high amounts). Hypersonic will reduce time for decision making since they will hit in very shorttime.
First strike (conventional or mixed) would degrade considerably military capacity of the NATO Alliance letting it with three choices:
– Sue for Peace,
– Retaliation limited to military target – barely an option because detection of numerous launches from NATO countries will likely trigger Russian all-out nuclear strike on NATO cities with thousands of remaining nuclear warheads.
– All-out nuclear retaliation upon Russia proper – triggering all-out nuclear attack from Russia upon US and NATO Cities by all ready Russia vectors, including (strategic in megaton yield) intercontinental missiles from Russian SSBNs in harbors and at sea and mobile and static ICBMs. This is of course the apocalypse scenario.
In Case 2 (b):
Russia strikes same NATO military targets with Hypersonics + Supersonic cruise missiles + Tactical Nukes especially if available amount of hypersonics is sub-optimal.
This case increases very much the likelihood of nuclear retaliation from NATO. Huge uncertainty there. May be limiting nuke strikes to Navy targets at sea could be some gamble allowing for destruction of entire carrier strike groups (CSG) with few weapons without hiiting sovereign country territories with nukes.
Even if simplified, these dreadful scenarii are certainly, as depicted, meant to create scary feeling in reader. Don’t they? Be certain that it is not so out of complacency or any perverted taste but in order to bring about awareness of the faced hazards and prevent such terrible events to happen by chance, mistake or misunderstanding.
Gracias por ayudarnos a entender. La manera de decodificar la realidad es un tema que está por encima de todos los temas.
Mod: You need to follow the rules and provide a translation to your post. Moderation is too busy these days to keep doing that for people.I will need to trash those not following the rules in the future.
Thank you for helping us understand. The way to decode reality is an issue that is above all issues.
Sanctioning Putin’s daughters–cancelling their bank accounts is what that is–should prove to everyone that the US government’s position is unjust. Can you imagine if Obama’s daughters had Russian bank accounts and Putin froze them? (Because Obama is president of the fake nation of US again, as of yesterday, his triumphant return was salivated on by the media and he called Biden his vice president.) This is insanity!
Great point and I very much agree.
If one wants to talk about “atrocities,” what of the collective punishment of the Russian people for decisions made by their elected officials? What the West is doing is like terrorism against the people of the Russian nation.
As I said in a previous post in this blog entry, the West (led by the USA) is insane now. This mass punishment of Russians is just one expression of that insanity.
People in Zone A have commented on this cruelty. It hasn’t gone unnoticed.
This is from a writer at Cambridge University.
https://www.varsity.co.uk/opinion/23386
“The targeting of the whole country has already begun transforming our own societies. We are increasingly tolerating a nasty, yet socially acceptable, form of bigotry. During an interview, US Congressman Eric Swalwell floated the idea of ‘kicking every Russian student out of the United States.’ Meanwhile, Sweden’s former defence minister, Mikael Odenberg, was even more extreme when he proposed expelling all Russian citizens.”
Such collective punishment is a step down the road to genocide. The West’s hypocrisy knows no bounds.
However, as Saker has pointed out, this cruelty is waking up all of Zone B (and plenty of Zone A) to just how the 1% in the West operates. Good. Let people know the truth so the West can be isolated even sooner as the multi-polar world emerges.
It’s a new low. Total Mafia style.
It would be reasonable to guess that regime officials have done a visitation round to all HQ of western companies that hesitated with ‘voluntarily’ pulling out of Russia. The words ‘Nice Business you got here ….” comes to mind.
The west only understands strenght and brute force; Russia must win this war now, submit the ukraine and end this problem. If not, Ukraine will become even a biggest existencial threat to Russia, and therefore to all humanity.
Excellent opinion! You nailed it 100%! It was a pleasure to read and I couldn’t stop laughing all the way at your sarcasm, even though the reality brings me to tears.
It looks like the Empire of hate and lies is already starting to go after China. AUKUS are scheming and plotting lately to expand their membership and arsenal in Asia-Pacific and just yesterday, the Pentagon announced an increase in weapons shipments to Taiwan.
They just keep digging that hole deeper and deeper.
And Revelation 6:7,8: And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Now is the time to prep. NOT 3 weeks from now.
Andrei you forget the 1%ers inside Russia. Not a tall number, but 10 times more effective against Russia, than any of them outside Russia.
Why Ukraine’s “Bucha Massacre” Story Isn’t Adding Up
youtube.com/watch?v=8moZ7S…
@ Saker,
” And I have no clue whatsoever how to denazify 10 MILLION Nazis from our entire planet without a major war. ”
The war between moral and evil has been a continuous phenomenon ever since humankind departed from primitive commune of sharing food/shelter, and developed political institutions to manage/enhance the ‘surplus production’.
Your point is the continuation of the concerns of all revolutionaries – how to get rid of evil forces!
I expect, atleast the Resistance Camp countries will continue to lead the global struggle against corporatist capitalists (= Fascists) + white supremacists (= Nazis)… May be 50 years or 100 years from now our next generations will fully resolve it.
This is nothing but the final stage of Zionist ongoing war against Russia.
Just a few question, if may spark in your brain-cell –
– Would this war get such media coverage if a non-Jew were president of Ukraine?
– Would so many Russian Jew billionaire would consider to relocate to Israel?
– Would all the western countries forced to take action so quickly as unified?
– Would the western countries even don’t care to go against their economic disaster?
In one lecture in Bulgeria (I guess), Shlomo Sand, pointed (well later he said its mistake) – Israel have full control of Sofia, and able to make any changes they please. It is nothing but the very truth for almost whole Europe and other OECD counties (actually US’s vessel states).
Powerful dossiers to bring to the UN but also to spread among the public with Oliver Stone-like professionals are piling up: Biolabs is very serious and super documented, the NATO (and Swedish) Generals in Mariupol, thousands (millions?) of testimonies of the Ukrainian people on the abuses suffered by the Nazis, the negotiations for collective security that lasted months and were public and transparent. Russia has its cards in order and must, I believe, document as well as possible everything that will happen from now on. There is little to worry about at this point for the public of Zone A, in a short time with the famines they will be immersed in civil war, they will have other things to think about, it is an exasperation that started more than 2 years ago, they know that Putin has nothing to do with it. I think we must instead communicate with the elites, political and not, in zone B. As well as with the Russian people, as is happening well.
The financial monetary front must be reinforced to face the economic war, as Glazyev has proposed. The battles of Mariupol and Dombass must be won without compromises and “arms tied behind”. And the subsequent negotiations.
The West is in full hysteria. The US with BLM increasingly unleashed has serious internal problems for 99% of the population. It is saving itself by despoiling the EU. And the EU is in a situation of absolute fragility, even and especially financial, which does not know how to deal with. They know that they are “saved” only if they can get their hands on Russia’s natural resources. A fact that is increasingly clear even to zone B. Russia has all the tools to defend itself, including mental ones.
This is the second half of the Great Patriotic War, which Russia already knows how to win. This time the damage will be much less and the glory and subsequent economic results (the economy will take off) much greater. God willing.
“This is the second half of the Great Patriotic War, which Russia already knows how to win. This time the damage will be much less and the glory and subsequent economic results (the economy will take off) much greater.”
It is a lateral process of war not restricted to things that go bang, informed by understanding that recurrence is facilitated by immersion in win/lose binaries, and hence sustainability requires transcendence with the complicity of opponents facilitated by their immersion in win/lose binaries, and that omniscience is not an option given change is a constant.
In part this has been informed by The Great Patriotic War, but is not a linear projection of The Great Patriotic War, it is a process of lateral transcendence of The Great Patriotic War.
More than 70 years have passed and technology has changed many things, including the non-symmetrical and much more articulated way in which a war must be planned and fought. But what has not changed at all is that the enemy is the same as in World War II, with the exact same objectives, it has only changed the flag(s).
From my point of view it was a big shock to have to suddenly realize what the EU really is just under the facade, by whom it is really led, and with what fierce idea of society in mind. The return of Nazism had apparently only been postponed.
Having in mind this you can easily understand that the context I refer to is not based on a binary logic, on the contrary. But the war has begun, it must be won, and it is useless to ask more questions about what is now as clear as ever.
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/former-french-intel-chief-all-multicultural-societies-are-doomed
“The return of Nazism had apparently only been postponed.”
It never went away but changed so it cannot return.
“But the war has begun”
It never finished – in the interpretation of Mr. Suslov it begun in 1922 and mutated constantly within and without various trajectories and velocities.
“Having in mind this you can easily understand that the context I refer to is not based on a binary logic”
It is the binary of start/finish.
“it must be won,”
It is the binary of win/lose.
” it is useless to ask more questions about what is now as clear as ever.”
That is the hope inherent in we the people hold these truths to be self-evident.
“From my point of view it was a big shock to have to suddenly realize what the EU really is just under the facade,”
Perhaps a more relevant rendition would read: “From my point of ignorance it was a big shock which I attempted to bridge/overcome by belief as in this comment, whilst perceiving criticism as an attack and not as a cooperation”
Frankly, I didn’t perceive your criticism of my post as an attack (on the contrary, as you can see, I like to converse, I find it constructive and I thank you for that). I read The Saker and write a few posts to learn and understand better, certainly not to teach anything: the level, by the way, is very high.
My own surprise about the actual reality of the EU (rather than the US, about which I have always shared, and deepened thanks to their articles, the point of view of M. Ehret or T. Luongo) is in fact relative.
I knew that the West had failed at least since 2008, I was perfectly capable of understanding it both on the basis of my economic training and on the basis of constant frequentation of Asia (I generalize) both for work and leisure. The economic, demographic, even psychological dynamics of Asia are, by and large, of full and healthy vitality.
I was surprised and outraged by the way (the pandemic) they decided to deal with the problem. The depth of hypocrisy. The futility and squalor of the staging to the lowest point.
Using a metaphor, we could say that at the very moment in which the EU took off its mask, Russia took off its gloves. And experience teaches us that wars (if it had to be a war, other solutions in this case would have been much healthier) are not won with shouts and mystifications (real value of the euro included) but just with “fists” (real value of the ruble supported by gold and raw materials included).
As you write, there is a game that began many years ago (in some ways we could say with the French Revolution, or with the Civil War in the U.S., or perhaps even in 500 with the Crusades) and that certainly now must be concluded. Or at least thrown back into the subsoil from which it seems to have surfaced again. :-)
“now must be concluded.”
Your “training” has also rendered you prone to rely on imperatives – “must” : sometimes known as there are no alternatives (plural) – and contingently on binaries where the “negative” is omitted – concluded/not concluded – thereby encouraging emphasis on belief/certainty/pre-determination.
“Russia took off its gloves.”
Russia was never wearing gloves, although the opponents “perceived that they were wearing gloves including (to avoid leaving fingerprints and other residues)”, which facilitated Russia never wearing gloves, but pursuing their contextual purposes which were not perceived by opponents, whilst opponents were searching for fingerprints and other residues – “Russiagate” being merely one example of many.
” there is a game”
For some it was never a game but a lateral process of testing of hypotheses through implementation/ modification/implementation, whereas for others such as yourself it was either a game with or without adverse consequences iterating immersion in binaries including – us/them – for at least the last six to seven thousand years by spectators.
This was also understood by Mr. Suslov, hence his methods of perception expansion not perception management,”perception management” also being known as training, the consequences of which are explored in Mr. Bulgakov’s Heart of a dog.
Thank you for your illustrations of matters Pavlovian “shared” by opponents’ “strategists” since it says so on their resumes.
”Perception management,” also known as training, the consequences of which are explored in Mr. Bulgakov’s Heart of a dog.

How do you get that?
Sharikov was raised in the household of a professional, a member of the intelligentsia/Old Bourgeoisie, and cheerfully became a drunken and brutal low-level apparatchik.
I’m not sure what Bulgakov’s point was, exactly, but nurture over nature certainly wasn’t it.
(Hot-water time for Bulgakov, again, but Stalin seems to’ve been pretty lenient, even amused, although restricting publication and IIRC later banning the play, and of course The Master and Margarita might well’ve tested things far too far.)
“Sharikov was raised in the household of a professional, a member of the intelligentsia/Old Bourgeoisie, and cheerfully became a drunken and brutal low-level apparatchik.”
You apparently did not read the full Russian version published in Russia in Russian – not courtesy of guests such as associates of the CIA – and not only missed the plot, but also the connotations.
A street dog who was subsequently named Sharik was taken by the surgeon professor Filipp Filippovich Preobrazhensky (which is derived from “transformation”) in order that the surgeon can make a futher transformation, the first transformation being the dog being given a name ( a sly reference to propiskas (internal passport and permission to stay in one location which acknowledged right of residence and becoming a person).
The surgeon professor’s attempts at transformation (even including his own since he was likely eventually transformed from “bourgeois” via “red expert” to “former person”) of the dog with no name or residency permits who became Sharik, was initially sucessful in some regards to some degree ( a sly reference to the works of Mr. Pavlov and bells), but not sustainable.
To quote Mr. Burns – the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley – the dog reverted to being a dog.
It is a satire of the attempts of many including the Bolsheviks to fashion a new man/women, and simultaneously a critique of “socialist realism” and Mr. Stalin’s hope that writers are “Engineers of human souls”.
It was not published in Mr. Bulgakov’s lifetime – if it had been Mr. Bulgakov’s longevity would likely not have extended until 1940. The “lieniency” you attribute to Mr. Stalin was in respect to the play White Guard (about “former people” in Kiev (analogues of some of Mr. Bulgakov’s family and associates) in 1918) not Heart of a dog.
Like Mr. Grossman’s Life and fate, Heart of a dog’s manuscripts were hidden by people you would not expect, whose identities were not made public when the Heart of a dog was published in the late 1980’s..
However from 1970’s onwards if you had enough blat and trust – these necessarily being conflated pre-1956 – you could be entrusted to write out a copy of the manuscript by typewriter but sometimes in longhand dependending on the policy prevailing, by securing the secrets that were not made public even when Heart of the dog was published.
When manuscripts of Master and Margarita and Heart of a dog were initially viewed for “political assessment”, Master and Margarita was deemed to pose a lesser threat than Heart of a dog, but copies of both were hidden.
Subsequently for political considerations in the 1980’s, the significance and possible impacts of Master and Margarita in the 1930’s, efforts to widen the risks and their magnitude that the Orthodox Church faced in “The Soviet Union” during the 1930’s were implemented to lubricate the minimisation of opponents in times of trouble (first perestroika and when it didn’t work “edited glasnost” – which some will not deem plausible belief, illustrating an observation in “security” – tell the truth few will believe you.
Thank you for illustrating a prevalent practice of reliance on belief to “know” Russia and things Russian.

MrBumble on April 09, 2022 · at 8:19 am EST/EDT
Which was exactly my main and only point, which you quote.
I may indeed however have conflated the fate of White Guard with Heart of a Dog (which last I admire tremendously, much more than Margarita).
I have no doubt I miss many allusions, even as many present-day Russian readers would–critical/historical apparatus needed!
“I have no doubt I miss many allusions, even as many present-day Russian readers would–critical/historical apparatus needed!”
Thank you for your further illustration of a prevalent practice of reliance on belief to “know” Russia and things Russian.
Your projection is likely based on ignorance of many interacting components including but not limited to:
the work/leisure balances of “Soviet Union” and presently the Russian Federation,
familial structures and interfamily interactions in “The Soviet Union” and presently the Russian Federation,
accomodation options and spatial geographies of “The Soviet Union” and presenly the Russian Federation
“educational opportunities” and their modes of access of “The Soviet Union” and the Russian Federation
the modes facilitating accessibilty of/to books of “The Soviet Union” and presently the Russian Federation,
and perceptions of Mr. Socrates’ notions of “a valuable life” in “The Soviet Union” and the Russian Federation
which with other aspects not outlined are all laterally/interactively changing.
“many allusions”
This is a further indicator of different cultural perceptions and practices between “The United States of America” and the Russian Federation in regard to reading and register.
In Russian practice the lateral process would likely be described as catalysing connotations which are active cooperations/interactions based on previous life experience of the reader and their access to others ergo a practice “perception enhancement”.
In different cultures as you illustrate, the linear process is finding allusions and feeling “exceptionalist/smart” through doing so, learned from shortly after birth during “toilet training” and other practices of socialisation, whilst simultaneously being a process of conformance through restricting catalysation of connotations.
Extrapolations upon the above form part of the practices and register of “US propaganda” whose purpose is “perception management”, and levels of acceptance/belief of an audience primarily limited to “The United States of America”, thereby iterating the practice whilst simultaneously reducing the potency of the practice with varying velocities and trajectories.
Projection is partly a function of notions of “exceptionalism” predicated on ignorance and aversion to doubt – a vector through which “The United States of America” are complicit in their own demise.
Such are among the wonderlands of “The United States of America” and partly why Mr. Bulgakov’s Heart of a dog has relevance in context.
“not a linear projection”
A contributory reason why Generals fight the last war is their over reliance on analogies/precedents.
I’m not an expert, much less a military one (we’re in Andrei’s camp here, by the way).
One thing that does seem useful and interesting to me is that there were many intrigues through which World War II finally broke out. It also developed in an ambiguous way, with great attacks towards the West but with the mind turned to the East from the beginning. Today (even if it is not a story known to the general public) 70 years of historical research, propaganda aside, have made very clear what were the initial objectives of those who financed and then armed Hitler (even if things at some point and in part escaped control). I can’t say whether everything might have been as clear to Russia\URSS strategists at the time.
That might be an advantage. I’m not in a position to assess it, but I hope it is.
“I’m not an expert,”
Practicing strategists understand and acknowledge that no one is an expert, since omniscience is not an option given that change is a constant which is the case ” in Andrei’s camp here” which is not Andrei’s camp, but your belief/interpretation that such exists.
Opponent “strategists” because their resumes say so, both hold and evangelise that some exceptionalists are experts, which is useful to strategists in encouraging the mutation of their opponents’ “strategies” into hopes and wishes.
One of the catalysts that encouraged initial meetings to explore the necessity of transcending “The Soviet Union” in 1969 was a strategic idiot politician ordering Mr. Giap to over-extend the Tet offensive, as another strategic idiot politician ordered Mr Zhukov to over-extend the “breakout” from the Battle of Moscow in 1942 with similar outcomes.
“That might be an advantage.”
It is to others but not to you, unless your purpose is self-stimulation/self-pleasuring and hoping your predelictions will not be criticised by resort to a hoped for shield of – (we’re in Andrei’s camp here, by the way) in attempt to encourage “group think”, and/or Everyone is entitled to their opinion – which indicates that you have never been part of cooperation whose consequences could include existential blowback not limited to yourself.
“could be an advantage.”
The world is big; there is more than just the West. Also, Transhumanism (here, it’s a central concept, but it was slipping away from me in the conversation) totally, deeply disgusts me. It’s something I know but had never taken seriously, desperate nerd territory that you would now instead have the pretense of making the center of everything. I’ve never been a practicing Catholic and I’ve always been very individualistic, but I’ve always had a sense of the Sacred and Beauty (equivalent concepts for me). Without which life (which is still beautiful to live, if you’re not blind and dull) becomes a dead and meaningless thing.
So what I hope above all is that the part of the world that is in the “right” will be saved, remain intact and prosper. As it deserves, and I say this with great sincerity. As for me, we’ll see. Skills count, but so does luck.
Thanks for the conversation (or was it a test to figure out “who is this infiltrator?”). All correct. At a time like this, then…. The important thing is that Russia wins. And for transhumanism to re-enter the sewer from which it emerged.

In my local state newspaper (Dutch part of Belgium) they are talking about the bloodbath in Mali – 300 killed. The headlines reads: “Bloodbath in Mali, 300 killed. Russian mercenaries responsible?”
So, that was quick.
All I keep thinking is, what in the world?
PS: the 10 Million is rather overestimating it, we should talk about the ones that do not have millions – pocket change – but those that have billions of funds under their control.
And that is them: 2,668 billionaires in the world, according to Forbes
Peter M,
…the 10 million seems to be a fairly precise number. Aside from the very wealthy members of the empire of hate and lies, when one counts members of the 5-6th columnists in every country along with their family members; business associates, corrupt parliamentarians etc. – who benefit directly from the dollar being the global reserve currency – then it’s roughly correct.
“if you cannot win a real war, win an imaginary one. ”
Reminds me of Don Quixote tilting at windmills
Money is just a lever that is used to control “things”. By “things” I mean industrial output, commodities, physical products and their closely allied services. Who controls “things” is truly in control. In the past the industrial West was able to control “things” by controlling money, turning money this way or that, up or down. But now money is controlled by “things” thus Russia asserts the value of the Rouble through its control of commodities, oil, gas, food, metals etc. The world has changed and the no-longer-industrial West hasn’t figured it out yet.
Russia and China control “things” and so they control money.
This may be premature, but I have already begun mulling over in my mind how to remove the indispensable country from the board – and the logistics, needless to say, are somewhat complicated, although certainly not impossible.
.
Unfortunately, my view is that these proxy wars are going to continue until
a) we run out of proxies
b) we run out of Russia.
As option b) is totally unacceptable, and option a) leads to gradual degradation of all things Russian, the answer would appear to be to ignore the proxies (the symptoms), after the current situation is resolved and attend to the cause.
As I said, this may be premature, and maybe somewhat off topic, so I will not develop it any further at this time.
It may well be a topic to pick up in the not too distant future because things are likely to change very quickly.
Thank you Saker and Nightwatch for all the information and knowledge that you dispense, it is invaluable.
The ” Bucha massacres” is one of many coming soon. We saw it all in the destruction of the middle East, and it is from the same playbook. Nothing new. What is new is that Vladimir Putin slowly built back Russia to it’s rightfull place in this world. Over many years he tried to appease the west, but nobody listened.
The unipolar world has a hierachy and it goes something like this: Zion controlled White Anglo-Saxons on top, Western Europeans next, Eastern Europeans including Russians (snow niggers), and all the other niggers, including Asians and the Indians, many who believe that they are White.
The supremecy over this world has been their ability to wage war to pillage and extract the resources of others to remain on top. Their justification has always been words like freedom, democracy, human rights..whatever. The blatant racism and hatred that we, in the west has always shone to other coloured people, is documented in our own Western press.
It was clearly demonstrated most recently in Canada by the attack on Chinese people, from blatant lies in the controlled media. It has resulted in racial attacks on these people, as they go about their lives. The same is now for Russians all over their world. It is the west showing it’s true face.
All this talk about what the west can do against Russia with endless sanctions, but have anyone ever thought about what Russia can do to us? They have basically all the agriculture for their own population, they have mineral resources that everyone else needs, and the best Military in this world.
China needs Russia more than Russia needs them for they can get everything from them, and all Hi-Tech shared. India despite it’s “wannabe white” oligarchs will have to fall in line or face the wrath of the majority poor.
For many years, I saw that Putin always wanted to be a part of Europe as they should be, but it is now Asia and the other world. They gave him no choice. But what is wrong with that? China will never be White America in deeds, for throughout their centuries of history, they have always traded.
Mariupol has to be cleansed, but in there lies hundreds of labryniths. They contain the Nazis, the civilians and maybe “certain folks” from other countries. They will find a way to free it, and on to the remaining Donbass, and hopefully Odessa.
The mayor of Bucha on March 31 happily announces the departure of the Russian army, without mentioning anything about “dozens of victims and corpses on the streets” – Russia’s permanent representative to the UN showed another proof of a theatrical performance in Bucha.
Ukrainian media itself gave away the Bucha false flag game. Ukrainian web portal lb carried an article titled “SAFARI regiment of special forces begins clean-up operation in Butsha of saboteurs and accomplices of Russia.” The article was out on April 2:
https://en.lb.ua/news/2022/04/02/12441_special_forces_regiment_safari.html
Hola Saker, very good article. Just one thing: to change the collective security of Europe, you have to demilitarize and decolonize Europe. Demilitarization is clear, decolonization means kick the Anglo dominated order out of our countries… and that is a 100-year war, hybrid or non-hybrid for the independence of nations located on the Western end of the Eurasian landmass. Short of that it is delusional to think the Anglos and their native quislings of our Euro-stans will permit a change in the collective security of Europe.
Po bratzki, Andrei… dulcis et decorum est pro patria mori.
It feels like Andrei is bit overreacting..
The false flag is frustrating but it doesnt change anything..? Because NATO cant attack Russia anyway.
And so far, Russia has counterpunched harder all kick thrown at her.
. Preempting Donbass attack by Ukraine and surprising everybody with the invasion of Ukraine
. Countering US psyop on own population
. Using sanction to action potential death of petrodollar by asking gas payment in Rubble.
Andrei note the west is lead by the 1%, which i would suggest is the banking aristocracy, the central bank owners, the global debt serf masters using war to remove last obstacle (Russia) to their great reset (debt jubilee, global communist, cash suppression, control of every individual transaction)..
I dont understand why Russia doesnt send hit team to kill those 1%er instead of buchering their Ukrainian brothers?
Yes and I would add that all this butchery would have not been necessary if russian politicians had understood the nature of the nationalist uprise in 2014. It was a revolution financed by the West and organised by a minority of western ukrainian uniates (greco-catholics from Galicia). The orthodox ukrainians were in majority excluded from this process. In 2014 Russia should have played according to the rules of the West, by sending a discreet but consequent force of operatives and spetznatz to break up the uprise, and stabilise the legitimate regime of Yanukovich. But Russia is not governated by christian orthodox politicians, but by “pragmatists”. Their priority was not to save orthodox ukrainians from the nazi coup, but to annex Crimea, according to power politics interest and continue to sell oïl and gas to Europe. Legitimate strategy and legitimate interests. But you should not be surprised by the results.
Now after decades of laisser-faire politics leaving Nato to expand in the east, some russian politicians and bloggers speak about a nuclear first-strike attack. I’m completely appaled and ask myself if this world is truelly becoming completelly mad. God help us !
“I dont understand why Russia doesnt send hit team to kill those 1%er instead of buchering their Ukrainian brothers?”
If you put names in that 1%, you’ll understand that it would be terrorism. There would be no protection for the 1% rich. I don’t support stealing their yachts.
It would be interesting if someone asked who chose Tuesday, September 11, 2008, for this meeting amongst the top banking aristocracy, and whether anyone asked for any other date. At 12 seconds in this video (link). I think the whole banking 1% could be in a video like this (HBO program “Panic: The Untold Story of the 2008 Financial Crisis”). They don’t have a clue about the date. Their mind is elsewhere. Someone chose the date, though. Did he/she not know that Tuesday, September 11 was an exact anniversary of the terrorist attack, and that it was not suitable for such a meeting instead of any other date? He or she knew. Naturally. The 1% even went along with this date! They look dumb here. Point to a single one who looks smart and not as if floating on air, someone like…Putin looks. If you don’t object to this date, you are as some said back in college, a “space cadet.” Oh, somebody should have asked that person if he was crazy or what. It’s not because it was the only day that all of them were free to attend.

Correction: who chose Tuesday, September 11, 2018, for this meeting,
“If you put names in that 1%, you’ll understand that it would be terrorism”, not so sure..
It could sound like “unexplained simultaneous gas explosion of all Rothschild, Warbourg, Rockerfehler manors across europe and USA”..
Nothing to see here, and nothing more suspicious than all battle ground states stopping ballot counting at midnight during the 2020 presidential election.
“…all battle ground states stopping ballot counting at midnight during the 2020 presidential election.”
That election was incredible. This same irregularity caused a national uprising in Bolivia, forcing pres. Morales to flee to Mexico (a couple of years ago). The Republicans – they never got the right argument to use. It’s not that there was cheating! There must have been. Now the biggest argument for Biden says that people decided to vote against Donald Trump in greater numbers than those in favor. That’s possible, not that I think it’s what happened but it’s possible. The argument not used does not point to any cheating because that’s besides the point for it. It is that an election has to be “guaranteed” against fraud. That’s how it is in the whole world, really. In some countries you have to put your thumb in ink and stamp it on your ballot. Pennsylvania or Michigan or both (I think Pennsylvania) admitted in their brief against Texas that they accepted ballots without signatures because they the lack of a signature was defined as a “minor” infraction. (I read the brief. I’m not sure if all the Supreme Court Justices did, not even if one of them did.) About 30% of ballots were sent by mail. Why was not even an attempt made to cancel it for lack of guarantees against fraud? Forget the cheating where both sides are like equals and one is innocent until proven guilty. They couldn’t even come up with a strategy for this. With strategists like that, Zelensky becomes Churchill (low, but fine). Had they taken the higher and certain path, it would have been at least the best one can do. Pennsylvania rebelled. It basically said we did this and who are you to judge. As you know, there was also no vote observation. In Bolivia, each political party has a representative in every polling place to approve all, this besides the inked thumb on you ballot. Forget about admitting in Bolivia that you accepted votes by mail and also without signatures because that’s “minor”. It means jail!
Gilles,
I don’t understand why Russia doesn’t send hit team to kill those 1%er instead of butchering their Ukrainian brothers?
I have no doubt that sooner or later, the big countries of the zone B (not Russia just by itself) will have to mark the main culprit behind the dollar scheme. If I’m correct Russia’s FM, on the first day of the operation to free Donbass, reminded the Israeli counterpart who seemed to have been chastising Russia about Ukraine during their conversation that Golan isn’t part of Israel. Principally, Israel is the Mecca for the dollar globalists.
Dear Saker
I’m quite shoked when you’re accusing the serbian governement to be “subservient” to the EU.
I’m shoked because it’s not true. Serbia is in a very difficult situation.
During the second world war, Serbia was the first country to organise a popular resistance movement, when all the other european countries were part of the New European Order. The cost was awfull : 1,5 million victims, half of them slaughtered by Croats and Muslims. In the 90’s Serbs were the only people to resist to the Nato drang, and they paid a high price again : There is no more Serbs on the territory of Croatia.
In contrast, Russia for years was really “subservient” to Nato and EU, even a candidate for entry in these organisations.
Serbs were submited to a terrible psy-op mediatic campaign. The russians who defended Serbs in those difficult 90’s were very rare ( a bunch of russian patriots around Zavtra (later Dien). The majority of Russians praised the West and ambitioned to be part of it. Russia voted every anti-serbian resolution in the UN, and accorded every year a confidence vote to the Hague kangoroo court, designed to vilify serbian people.
I even have declarations from mr Lavrov and president Putin that would erase your admiration for them. For example Mr Lavrov praised Djukanovic in 2006, as a true friend of Russia, when his regime organised secession from Serbia.
Serbia is the only country in Europe to have military cooperation with Russia, the only country to refuse to adopt sanctions, the only governement to ask advices from mr Putin and mr Lavrov.
It’s easy for Hungary to resist to pressures. Hungary is a catholic country, EU and Nato member, and nobody will bomb Hungary or exterminate its people. It’s more difficult for Serbia.
If you show such contempt for Serbian governement, remember that it is legitimate and that the marority of the serbian population voted for it. It is far from beeing perfect and what serbian patriots wish, but they can’t afford something better in those circumstances. You must understand that Serbs are not sure that Russia will military intervene to save them in case of a new agression. After all, Putin washed his hands from orthodox ukrainians. (his declaration to EU poodles in 2014)
Last but not least, in case of general war, Hungarians will fight against russians, like in WW2; while Serbs will not.
You are outraged by the mediatic treatment that the West reserves to Russia. But Serbs were crying in the desert trying to Wake up russians and make them conscious that they will be ne next on the western list of culpits. For no use. Russia was in love with Germany, Croatia, now Hungary, because of deep rooted complexes. The sad reality is that Russia has only one sincere friend in Europe and this is Serbia.
“You are outraged”
And you are outraged.
Thank you for illustrating one of the prime facilitators of blogs – emotionalism – where beliefs supercede knowledge.
Russia was destroyed from the inside. This is a historical fact. Eltsin approval rating was 3%, yet he was the president. This says it all about the state of the russian nation at the time.
And it is true that the governments of the time were too afraid and too corrupt to impose Russia’s interests and support their historical friends.
And this is the thing that disheartened a lot of countries, formerly USSR sympathizers. And these same nations are now seeing that Russia has returned and that a purge is ongoing to remove from power all the dangerous elements ( Putin calls them “the ones that would sell their mothers for money”, Saker calls them the 5th columnists and the atlanto-integrationists ).
I remember when Putin went to the UN some years ago and a lot of world leaders did go to him to make selfies with him and shake hands.
So yes, the past has been very bad. The future looks bright.
And most importantly the world has seen the viciousness and debauchery of the empire of lies. This is a very different from the past, when the USSR was seen as corrupt, imperialist and vicious. Half of Asia was under US/UK control. Africa too. Now things are a lot different.
“Russia was destroyed from the inside.”
Your notion is misguided.
“The Soviet Union” continues to be transcended (not destroyed) from the inside with lessening levels of complicity by opponents internally and externally, than the levels that were deemed necessary and facilitated without benefit of perfection during other phases, including the levels deemed necessary to attain an appropriate level of complicity of the opponents to facilitate the ongoing purpose in specific contexts.
“Eltsin approval rating was 3%, yet he was the president.”
Your belief in the sanctity of numbers suggests you never worked with Gosplan, and/or you have spent most of your life in a monastery/nunnery.
Mr. Yeltsin was elected President under a “constitution” donated by others and “marketing/voting” created/encouraged/implemented by others.
One part of Mr. Yeltsin’s comedy double act died recently – Mr. Zhirinovsky a leading Soviet Expert on South West Asia whose father was an accountant. Mr. Zhirinovsky’s role was mostly being the feed for Mr. Yeltsin who was formerly the head of Sverlovsky oblast.
When Mr. Clinton used to say xyz to Mr. Yeltsin, Mr. Yeltsin would often say- I would like to, but there is that bastard Zhirinovsky – you’ve seen him on television probably – he’s mad – he hits other people in the Duma.
Both Mr. Yeltsin and Mr. Zhirinovsky made significant contributions to the ongoing transcendence of “The Soviet Union”.
As Mr. Zelensky is starting to understand, being a front man is character changing and exhausting work – as a consequence Mr. Yeltsin increased his alcohol intake in hope of dissipating stress, whilst I hear Mr. Zelinsky’s most popular poison remains cocaine.
“And it is true that the governments of the time were too afraid and too corrupt to impose Russia’s interests and support their historical friends.”
You are again misguided.
The evaluation was it was to soon given the holistic strategy including phasings/inter-dependencies.
“And this is the thing that disheartened a lot of countries, formerly USSR sympathizers.”
You are misguided once more.
The purpose was to transcend “the Soviet Union” so no-one with significant agency was particularly concerned about “formerly USSR sympathisers internally or externally” – a view understood and accepted by others of significant agency externally including in Serbia, thereby facilitating through appropriate emphases/phasing:
” most importantly the world has seen the viciousness and debauchery of the empire of lies. This is a very different from the past, when the USSR was seen as corrupt, imperialist and vicious. Half of Asia was under US/UK control. Africa too. Now things are a lot different.”
I apologise if we didn’t have immaculate conceptions, but that is only available to believers and some messiah I hear.
“Yesterday, the shameful Prime Minister of Serbia Ana Brnabić signed a scandalous agreement with the representatives of the World Economic Forum, according to which Klaus Schwab’s people will work in the Serbian Government from now on and according to which Serbia will become part of the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution!”

“Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic received congratulations from the founder and executive president of the World Economic Forum (WEF), Klaus Schwab, on winning the presidential election.”
https://srbin.info/en/politika/klaus-svab-cestitao-vucicu-sa-vama-na-celu-srbija-ce/
Also let us recall that both Russia and China imposed sanctions on North Korea.
I don’t understand the author’s excitement with what he calls the “Eurolemmings”. He should remember that just 25 years ago the Abramovichs and the Chodorkowskis et al were cleaning out Russia just as the same people are now ordering Europe to commit suicide. The only thing that saved Russia were the remnants of the Soviet KGB and army. Without those Russia would now be exactly were all other European countries are: under the control of an elite which is only partially European and their anglo-saxon allies. Now, how come that Germany did not have the power to resist? Oh, they did not have an independent army and they did not have an independent secret police. Same in Poland. Same in Italy etc etc. How did this come about? Ah, 80 years ago the Russians agreed with the USA that only the two of them should run the world. The Russians did not allow for an independent eastern European elite just as the US did not allow for an independent western European elite. At the same time both sides always cooperated with the same third party that has had strong influence on both sides. And now this Russian author is upset about the fact that no western, central or eastern European country is sufficiently independent of the Western Empire in order to resist its commands to commit economic suicide. Let me put it this way: Russia is not a small innocent player on the world stage. Russia has been an important player on the international stage for over a thousand years (with the only exception of the mongol period). The catastrophy of WWI was fostered by the Russian alliance with the western powers. That is how the English were able to successfully provoke WWI. Without that alliance no war. Then it was the Russians liberals who were the first ones to cooperate with the non-Europeans to overthrow the traditional monarchy only to find themselves outsmarted by another force which cooperated with the non-Europeans, the Bolsheviks. What the Soviet Empire did to humanity we don’t have to discuss. And then came the 90s and so many people in Russia were willing to cooperate with the West that it took only a handful of years untill the same non-europeans controlled half of the Russian oil industry and run many other parts of the Russian economy. What is so different in the behavior of the Russians when you compare it to what has happened in western Europe? Why phantazise about a deep routed hatred of western Europeans for Russia. There is no such hatred. Yes the morally blind masses today pretend to hate the Russians just as yesterday they ran around spewing hatred against people who are not vaccinated. Those morally blind NPCs do exactly what the media tell them to do. That has always been the case in all countries of this world. The current “hatred for Russia” among the masses is as shallow as anything else that these masses pretend to believe in. There is a real ethnic hatred of Russians among the elites who dominate the Western Empire. But it is not the European part of that elite. And the reason for this hatred is that the first two attempts of this part of the elite to completely take over Russian ressources (in the 1920s and in the 1990s) has not worked out quite as well as they had hoped. Just look at who promotes the total war against Russia. Most of them have grandparents or greatgrandparents who were born in the Russian Empire.
“How does this speech of ( )elensky to the UN Security Council relate to the reports I read that the UK had blocked a Security Council meeting request by Russia?”
Mr. Zelensky is an actor who speaks the words of others – perhaps not to his wife though in matters delicate.
His sponsors are a little nervous now and the UK (United Kingdom) – can it really be so – blocked a Security Council meeting request by Russia which made Mr. Zelensky “speechwriter” even more disorientated, which in conjunction with other developments have encouraged his “sponsors” to become a little more nervous, and more prone to resorting to increasing the flock of boomerangs flying erratically.
” video fantasies put in the position of a President of a Great Power, allowed to speak to every gathering in the Free World?”
As Mr. Shakespeare observed that all the world is a stage – but some are not aware who are in the audience.
The preliminary UN (United Nations?) meetings were held in San Francisco and the main stage was built in New York, thereby performances became more advantageous to some than to others, and not all have/had a ticket to view performances in person, but through media.
However some have a marked tendency to saw branches of trees by which they are supported – such performances being perceived through media throughout the world .
Such happenstances facilitate the Jaw dropping power of US propaganda.
As @Lex pointed out above, these are ‘not serious people’ .
Patrick Lawrence shows why :
“Infantile imperialism.”
https://thescrum.substack.com/p/infantile-imperialism?s=r
and nails it – 9/11 changed everything.
Americans were shaken to infantilism. They have no Plan B, no concept of consequences, no coherent reason.
That failed Reichstagsbrand , organized gby BAE/Saudia , paid for by Thatcher’s Al Yamamah terrorist slush fund, is the greatest loose-end. Biden still refuses to declassify all, as Trump decreed.
BoJo’s Global Britain , basically running a D.C. kindergarten is the game.
Does Russia notice this? What to do with a kindergarten of overgrown tantrum kids badly in need of a nappy change playing with loaded tanks, cute missiles?
Maybe get to the truth on 9/11?
Great article, nothing I can refute. The “1%ers” agree their policies at Bilderberg in what appear to be negotiated agendas set by representatives of the dominant families ( just a a NYC Mafia Dons´sit down) and then there is Davos which implements the agendas and hands out assignments via WEF partner structures rather like the WW2 German SS hierarchic structure with their trained elite global leaders as their foot soldiers.
The goal of anti Russian sanctions in 2022 & 2023 is to weaponize by monopolizing food and energy supplies in EU & 5 eyes nations and to collapse via hyper inflation $ & € thus facilitating the creation of a Zone A single digital currency with food & energy rationing under a bio security dictatorship.
Zone B will continue to prosper with China´s Belt & Road initiative under the protection of Shanghai Co-operation nations. There has never been a better time to sell up and move to Zone B
A long response to your core points:
A military that could take on NATO and win. She does now.
No, this seems mistaken. The Russian military has performed very poorly against one of the militarily weakest large countries in Europe – bad leadership, bad planning, and often bad execution sometimes salvaged, as so often in Russian history, by dogged infantry. In conventional war, the Russian military is no more capable of taking on NATO than it was capable of taking on Britain and France in 1854. With every day spent in Ukraine that military becomes weaker, losing equipment which will take years to replace and trained troops which can never be replaced.
The kind of advanced strategic deterrence systems (nuclear and conventional) she now has.
Russia has had strategic deterrence systems since 1960 or thereabouts. Its peak of strategic deterrence was in the 1980s when NATO was fighting a proxy war with the USSR in Afghanistan. These are not really useful except against sane opponents.
A stabilized southern axis (Middle-East, Caucasus, Central Asia) from which no threat can realistically come.
The Russian Navy could not keep NATO out of the Black Sea if it wished to come in. NATO landings on the eastern coast of the Black Sea would ignite immense uprisings against Russia in the region. The situation is far worse than it was in 1854.
A legal case to justify the decision to openly intervene in the Ukraine
In your dreams. There is no global court which would hear such a legal case and there is no global force which would enforce the decisions of such a court. The only real basis for the conquest of the Ukraine is force. After 40 days the Russian military has failed to accomplish anything decisive, failed to prove any of the claims which it made, and when Russia eventually conquers Ukraine at huge cost, nobody outside Russia will pay much attention to anything which Russia is doing there. An occupying power can “prove” anything about the country it occupies, but Russia will no more be believed in such proofs than the USA was believed in its claims about Iraq after the invasion.
A society that would not crumble under the tremendous pressure of US PSYOPS
This has yet to be seen as the impact of sanctions and the consequences of a disastrous war on the public are yet to be felt.
A society in which the 5th columnists, the 6th columnists, and the Atlantic Integrationist have been pretty much totally discredited.
This has yet to be seen as the impact of sanctions and the consequences of a disastrous war on the public are yet to be felt.
An economy that could survive the kind of total economic war unleashed nowadays
This has yet to be seen as the impact of sanctions and the consequences of a disastrous war on the public are yet to be felt.
A system of alliances Russia could count on (remember Lukashenko’s and Nazarbayev’s “multipolarity” of the mid-20s?)
No, I don’t remember that. But as far as I can see Russia is alone in the world in terms of military alliances apart from China. Nobody else will shed a drop of blood in her defense or spend a cent of cash.
Large enough stores of advanced weapons for a long campaign
These stores have been seriously depleted and are not easily replaced since advanced weaponry is expensive and training people in its use is even more expensive. It remains to be seen whether a serious war (unlike the war in Ukraine) could be fought for more than a few days before Russia had to fall back on obsolete or unguided weaponry.
The real and full support of China
China supports Russia entirely out of self-interest. The U.S. is planning a war with China and provoked the Ukrainian crisis (into which Russia blundered disastrously because of incompetent planning) so as to weaken and ultimately overthrow the Russian government. China will not pour out resources if it feels that Russia is no longer a useful ally. Trusting in China to pull Russia’s chestnuts out of the fire is a foolish strategy.
I’m afraid that you are deluded by your patriotism. Russia is in a very poor strategic position to take on NATO even if matters do not drift into a hot war. This is not 1945 when there was extensive support for Russia in the West and when Russia was the greatest military power in Europe. If you are just bragging and do not believe what you are saying, what’s the point? But if you really believe what you are saying, you have not been paying attention to the real world.
Well if what you say is true then why the western hysteria ? If Russia is so weak and hopeless as you want to believe then why don’t the nato gang simply attack and destroy it?
One would think that they’d put their money where their big mouths are and go ahead and attack. Problem solved
Bombing their way into countries and mass murdering the populations, looting and destroying everything has always been a favourite activity of the nato gang.
So why not now in this case? You can’t answer that can you?
sure, currencies of countries losing wars and suffering from sanctions go up. Happened any times before in history, not
MFB, an armchair general presumes to pontificate on Russia’s strategic failure. Clearly he hasn’t read Putin’s or Lavrov’s stated objectives, the demilitarisation and de-nazification of Ukraine, while avoiding civilian casualties and destruction of infrastructure. Such armchair generals declare Russian defeat after 40 days, measured against what, US defeat after 20 years in Afghanistan with hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties?
“This has yet to be seen as the impact of sanctions and the consequences of a disastrous war on the public are yet to be felt.”
Who’s public, the US’ and EU’s? Russia is now a self-sufficient autarky thanks to years of sanctions. The ruble and the Russian public are doing just fine. It’s the de-industrialized western populace under fiat finance who are destined to suffer terribly. At well above 80%, Putin’s still rising public approval has a long way to fall to reach Biden’s abysmal rating at barely 40% and falling.
“The Russian Navy could not keep NATO out of the Black Sea if it wished to come in.”
Is that a joke? NATO can’t even rescue its own VIPs out or Mariupol after at least five attempts by helicopter, all shot down. Russia could sink NATO’s and US’ entire navy within hours if it dared entered the Black Sea. Your assertions are laughable nonsense.
Written U.S. media reports that about 60 dead bodies were found in Bucha in the last 24 hours, and other reports say about 300 bodies. They are seen in body bags in all these cases. So, it’s official that there will be no proof of a massacre presented. The accusation of mass murder is to be accepted by faith and not evidence. The complication of missing bodies and names is beginning to be dealt with by arguing that the Russians are burning the bodies. It should be easy to deal with such primitive tactics. Peskov is very articulate and the best English communicator there. He granted interviews on the matter of “interference” via the internet.
The master of English media handling was Ahmadinehad. After his last encounter with the media in the U.S. (he never lost in the aggressive exchanges!), the New York Post insulted him on its first page. (The only one I saw come close is Syria’s Assad, who is just too smart for the interviewers; I don’t miss a single interview of his because it’s a show!) Ahmadinehad faced the media on television wherever he went. Putin televised several meetings which looked new and impressive, yet then went incognito so to speak, but then ‘other things’ will occupy the media space left. Some have commented that Russia doesn’t care because it’s a war (not bla-bla so to speak). Maybe that’s true. It seemed to care at the beginning though; I would think it helps to excel in a mediatic way as well.
‘Bucha is really MH-17 reloaded’. First I thank the Saker for his work in the vineyard of the Lord. The thesis of the analysis focuses on the connection of two false flags: Bucha and MH-17. Well, if this is the case – I do agree on this with the Saker – than the post-history of MH-17 should be of a help to illuminate the post-history of Bucha. One of the countries that suffered the most because of MH-17 is the Netherlands. Because of this fact one would expect the Netherlands to be in the forefront of anti-Russian agitation and anti-Russian sanctions. But strangely enough the Dutch government has acted very reluctantly against Russian oligarchs and their properties in the Netherlands. Actually, the construction of luxurious yachts for the 1% of the world’s richest has become big business and obviously the Dutch government is talking with two tongues (one in the EU chorus and one in self-interest) to protect this business from a sudden collapse. After the false flag of MH-17 was staged a similar double-dealing talk happened. Up to the present day a lawsuit is being prolonged, but business with Russia was booming. Behind the agricultural miracle story of Russia there is Dutch agricultural technology hidden. So the vast economic cooperation between the Netherlands and Russia didn’t decline of disappear after MH-17 – on the contrary. In a certain manner one may constantly observe this speaking with double tongues in ‘the empire of hate and lies’. In the military perspective the West tries to speak with the one (false flagging) tongue of the Pentagon, but in the economic perspective the low-key tongue of self-interest is going even against all loud-mouthed demonisations orchestrated by NATO under the conducting of the firm hand of president Biden & co. So if ‘the empire of hate & lies’ is starting to rage & play foul in the worst imagineable manner, this doesn’t imply that the lying and swindling is not being continued from one demon against his ‘fellow’-demons. Prime minister Mark Rutte promised the Dutch people that the truth of MH-17 would prevail. Instead he continues and will keep continuing on the track of crying foul against Russia and at the same time pertain economic objectives of pure (double-Dutch) self-interest.
You are missing one aspect Andrei.
The (Western) European countries are (were for 1/2 a century) living above their means. The ONLY way this was possible was that the ROW countries were willingly transferring their natural resources to them effectively for free or at a huge discount.
They KNOW those times are either coming to or already came to an end. Depending which relationship is discussed.
This means, they KNOW they will have to pare-down their general population consumption => they KNOW they need to force THEIR general population into poverty. There simply will not be enough resources (they can buy/pay for) for their current level of consumption.
Now, how to do that WITHOUT a revolution hanging them all on the poles?
Simple, you need a crises. And not just another crisis. Some crisis (crises, to be precise) which will last for years, preferably two decades to raise a “criris generation” conditioned to accept hardship.
Enter the preferred option – “external” crises:
– Climate change (=> Grean Deal empoverishment plan)
– Migration crisis (=> we need to share our resources, secondary benefit (false one) is new bood for the pool)
– Russian conflict (=> we must not buy from Russia => we must not consume as it is physically impossible to buy for elswwhere)
The other, non-preferre option – “internal” crises:
– (Domestic) Security crisis (=> take people focus away from wealth to “survival”, see French state of emergency etc.), the migration is a good scapegoat here
The oiption of last resort is a (big) war:
– here turning the manufactured conflict with Russia into a hot one is seen as a “Plan C” because the idiots in Europe collectively believe they can “win” it.
– for US, the problem is that a World-Wide nuclear war would be something they cannot “win” in the literal sense but at same it would allow them to PREVENT their inevitable loss of pre-eminence to China, hence the “nuclear break-through” concerns of theirs => once that happens that “Plan C” goes outa window
What all this means:
For those in Europe whose see all this – and understand the Plan C envisiones their utter destruction as one of the objectives for BOTH RU and US – they REALLY REALLY WANT the “Plan A” to succeed. They know that the bigger its failure the more likely the US is to switch to “Plan C” and that they will not be asked for an opinion once that happens.
That is why we see today people who – by their past record – understand the situation supporting the path taken. This is important to understand. The final objective here is NOT Russia, or China or anything external. The primary objective is to convince the Western population to willingly become poor. Ideally, they seek to have the population ASK FOR IT! Then, when their economies collapse, they will say: “It was worth it! And besides, we could not ignore “the voice of the people” who asked for this course!”
Sound good, right? Not so much:
By allowing the (bona fide) idiots in the leadership of the EU to take this path in using the Russian conflict the “sensible” people are running the risk of those idiots believing their own propaganda and actually launching the hot war effectively by accident.
This is why Russia does all this nuclear posturing. They do that is the real risk at present – not that the US will go ahead. But that the idiot class in charge of the EU will sleepwalk into a hot war with them by their sheer arrogance and ignorance and then there will be no turning back anymore.
I agree with most of what you say Andrei, I believe though this is a globalist class agenga which although it may have differing factions are moving towards the same goal, a global order. To maintain control over this global village it seems they believe they will require digital identities, a digital currency, a forfeit of rights to bodily autonomy, technocracy and likely a one world religion. These things are already well advanced in their implimentation.
To transition to this NWO will mean the destruction of the empire as we know it and ideally, in their eyes the major religions with it, nation states including the US are being manipulated into a war (as they were in previous wars) to bring about this destruction, and as you’ve tirelessly pointed out there doesn’t seem to be very many bright lights among the political class cable of foreseeing their own doom let alone ours and unfortunately given that there appears to be a prevalence of eugenicist among this global class I doubt they would find issue with a thinning of the herd.
Several years ago or more now I was called crazy by one of your blogs followers for even suggesting the US or more accurately a coalition under 80 banners might enter Syria for Armageddon, do we really rule out anything now, do we really believe the world continues to guided by the dictates of sane rational thinking or for that matter truth. Yes I believe in Truth and ultimately Truth will prevail but for the moment it appears the hounds of hell are loose.
Just a thought experiment:
Imagine one of the gofer class with their billion dollar family getaway bunker in the ground. What is the commute out of major cities these days versus the speed of the latest Russian missile? It seems if you where truly interested in self preservation you’d want to control the time and place or even the means of war. For example a bio attack might give you more warning to get to your bunker, it would leave the infrastructure and no 1000 year fall out. My point here is when it comes to self interest the globalist’s aren’t stupid, waiting for a Russian missile strike which doesn’t give you a commute time would seem to be the least desirable option.
Even say a text alert early warning system for club members would be based on not “Russian missiles are launched” but more like “we’re going to piss Russia off today better take precautions”
Or perhaps this whole Ukraine thing is yet another sharade?
Just been watching the Convo Counch, an alternative news outlet based in LA, which has just produced an hour long presentation debunking the corporate media’s propaganda about Bucha. It is mostly talking head stuff, with a few screenshots thrown in from time to time, but I find it encouraging that a US group is at least trying to swim against the stream of lies. It needs to tighten up and sharpen its presentation but I am not complaining. Worth a watch:

Here’s some information on Bucha from Scott Ritter I haven’t seen somewhere else.
.
American expert spoke about the “safari” of Ukrainian security forces in Bucha
.
People in the city of Bucha near Kiev died at the hands of Ukrainian security forces, said US military analyst Scott Ritter, a former UN weapons inspector in Iraq.
Ritter said that the Russian military had been in Bucha for several weeks. “They had a kind of barter: they exchanged their dry rations for food. The inhabitants of Bucha gave them eggs, milk, cheese, and the Russians gave their dry rations, flour, salt, sugar, meat. Then the Russians left. Everyone who was involved in such interaction with the Russians was now regarded as a collaborator, ” Ritter’s words are reported by RIA Novosti during the webinar.
“We know this because the Ukrainian National Police published an announcement that they were heading to Bucha on April 1st to purge and eliminate collaborators,” he added.
According to the analyst, this is completely contrary to the Russian approach, which is to treat all residents of Ukraine with respect, try not to harm civilians.
“Ukraine says: if you cooperate with the Russians, you will die. They have a video of a high-ranking political official who announced on social media to the people of Bucha: “Stay at home, the national police are purging. Don’t panic, stay home,” Ritter continued.
In his opinion, Ukrainian punishers shot at people on the streets, knocked on the door of those who collaborated with the Russian military, and killed them. “We have video footage of the Ukrainian police, namely the Azov group, proudly claiming they are on their way to a safari. The name of the Ukrainian special police unit that entered Bucha was “Safari”. And they were on safaris to purge pro-Russian collaborators. Purge means to kill. Not to seize, but to kill. And they do it. And then they go and remove the corpses and say that the Russians did it, ”Ritter expressed the opinion.
He also noted that most of the bodies in the Bucha video were wearing white armbands, “meaning they were saying to the Russians: we are on your side, don’t kill us.” The analyst also stated that “next to each body is a green box from the dry rations they were carrying when they were killed.”
“In the case when they (the lying bodies in the video) do not have a white bandage, then they do not have it, because they tied their hands behind their backs with it. These people were killed. Not Russians, but Ukrainians. But this is not the thesis that is being promoted here (in the USA). The opposite is being claimed here,” Ritter said.
The expert also pointed out that the bodies in the video do not look like they have lain since the Russian troops left. “What you saw on TV is people who have just been killed. And we have more evidence – a Mexican journalist ended up in Bucha on the same day that the Ukrainians announced it. And he removed the bodies. Fresh blood. He said that these people had been killed recently,” Ritter said.
“These people were killed on April 1 by the Ukrainian national police. And then the President of the United States comes out and says that this is a war crime committed by the Russians and Vladimir Putin should be held accountable in The Hague. This is a propaganda war unlike anything we have seen in our time,” he concluded.
Recall that the Russian Defense Ministry called on international organizations to investigate the provocation in Bucha. Western and Ukrainian media and politicians have spread information about the alleged mass killings of civilians by the Russian military in the city of Bucha. The Ministry of Defense called the distributed footage “another staging of the Kiev regime for the Western media.” The military emphasized that all units left the city on March 30 and drew attention to the fact that on March 31, the mayor of the city of Buchi, Anatoly Fedoruk, confirmed in his video message that there were no Russian military men in the city, “but did not even mention any locals shot on the streets residents with their hands tied.”
According to military correspondent Oleksandr Kots, the Ukrainian military shot civilians in Bucha because they wore white armbands, which served as an identification mark for civilians during the presence of Russian troops.

“In the case when they (the lying bodies in the video)…”
“The expert also pointed out that the bodies in the video…”
It is one or two videos and the second one is uncertain as to place, and this video of the quotes is the one video of the one neighborhood with 4, 5 or 6 victims at most, lying about 20 yards from each other, with their faces hidden from view (so they are not recognized quickly?). Needless to say, just one video of one street does not prove the Ukrainian accusation.
I have read a few of Ritter’s columns; he is not controversial. It has like double weight for him to say those things.
Quote: “idiots in the West saw each Russian compromise and retreat as a sign of Russian weakness”. Unfortunately, those retreats were also seen as such by everyone else. Russia didn’t stand up for itself until the enemy knocked on the gates of Moscow. But why? I think we all have an idea why. If Serbs could take stand an fight for their own survival, if Iran, Cuba, North Korea, even Houthies and Nicaraguans could do so than certainly to the teeth nuclear-armed Russia could. Obviously it did not, therefore, its recent past instead of whitewashing deserves a serious and objective analyses.
” “idiots in the West saw each Russian compromise and retreat as a sign of Russian weakness”.”
The compromise/weakness/retreat conflations were the West’s interpretation from the 1970’s until almost today which has encouraged the “West” to over-extend with the benefit of increased emotionalism/hubris.
Such also facilitated the “Jaw dropping power of US propaganda”, all of the outlined items facilitating the “West’s” transcendence with their complicity as force multiplier.
It would not require “de nazifying” the entire 1%. Only the small fraction that leads the “Great Reset” and Rothschild Empire parade. If there were no hyper-elite to organize Bilderberg or Davos meetings, to control central banks, to “penetrate” governments, to issue “health” orders via the WHO, to spend generations concocting “free trade” agreements that enable the medical mafia, the Great Reset would fade into insignificance in months, if not weeks.
So figure out how many Rothschilds, Warburgs, Soros’, et.al. would need to be arrested and rendered impotent and THAT’S how easily this could be accomplished. Their legions of lawyers would be of no use if the people just verbally confronted the 0.001% lackeys at every turn.
Being that Klaus Schwab is a blood-Rothschild by his mother, disabling that family business alone would cripple their 300+ year manipulation of “The West’.
The Rothschild name should be repeatedly revealed for the venal vermin they are in every legislature, non-NATO media article and corporate boardroom.
Dox the WEF Global Leaders AND Global Shapers everywhere. They are hiding in plain sight. https://rumble.com/embed/vtmxc7/?pub=3ehgr
The NSA and VIPS whistleblower Binney said that it was population control. All these players that you mention may have a part in it. In that context, NSA population control means controlling the information coming through mass media such that delusional thinking becomes so established around specified evil leaders and nations that it can hardly be turned off. But it’s not the NSA alone. It’s also the mainstream corporate media and their approved messages in the 24 hour news cycle.
The result if that is a lot of inertia and momentum. I don’t think imprisonment without trial and charges is the answer but neither is a corrupt judicial system, and even if the law covered their transgressions, the charges would be difficult to prove without a reasonable doubt.
Inertia and momentum are key words in deciding the propaganda and demographics of their propaganda and hypocrisy. It’s not really true thought and analysis. As societies and cultures we can’t really turn on a dime like truly mindful cultures and societies.
It’s the old mating elephants parable. They might go crazy if we try to run up their trunks. We don’t want that but we certainly don’t want to be under their feet.
Which brings to mind the parable of the elephant and the blind men where each got to feel one part and each described the beast differently.
Check out this Covert Action Magazine teach-in webinar with wide variety of views by ex-CIA whistleblowers and military experts, including Andrei Martyanov and Scott Ritter. Worth watching for Ritter’s contribution where he challenges some of the others who are critical of NATO expansionism while also “condemning” Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Ritter comes straight out and declares the Russian special operation as “a just war”. His sentiments were echoed by at least one other speaker.

The only way Russia could be severely and permanently damaged is by nukes. But the same will happen to the US and EU. So what other effective choices does Zone A have that will work against Russia in the long-run, except self-annihilation? None. Because lies are eventually exposed, if enough time passes, grow irrelevant, or are forgotten, and no longer have an effect.
BND claims it has radio intercepts from Wagner Group with enough indication to connect to this event……so much likelihood of that one wonders?????????
Yup it is a western media but……
All part of the conspiracy to create invent such an event….which would be tricky???????

As ubermensch or subhumans, it’s good that we never forget our origins. Even if we rise to a point where we have 8 or 9 thousand nuclear weapons, like Russia, or the U.S.A., we ought not to forget our humble beginnings, as indigenous, slave or oppressed minority.
Viva subhumans.
That said, the narrative is out there, in false flag propaganda to try to stampede the herd into war that is something too close to nuclear war.

Wanted! I recall having seen a backstage video from a BBC news team in Syria, directing crisis actors to fall down simultaneously on demand. I believe it was shot by someone of the crew, because the main camera and reporter is visible in the footage. It was shot outside, mid-day, fairly sunny day, near the desert (not shot in a city at least). Does anyone recall and have link, or perhaps downloaded the clip? Maybe it was on saker blog?
Andrei, This is off-topic, but you mention MH-17 a couple of times – I recently came across a very interesting little snippet of a conversation where Kolomoisky talks about ‘the Boeing’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrfKZUttEwE . Remember that Putin’s flight, along same route, passed three quarters of an hour after MH-17. The liveries of the two airlines are exactly the same blue, red and white and can easily be confused if one doesn’t know the precise design of the stripes.
Unfortunately false flags are us and NATO. As a long time reader of Ray McGovern, this is only true to form for NATO, the west and the U.S.A..
How a false-flag chemical attack near Damascus almost mousetrapped Obama into launching “shock and awe (II)” on Syria in late summer 2013.
December 22, 2015
New evidence from Turkish court proceedings and a Turkish Parliamentarian adds to the many previous signs that the perpetrators of the sarin attack were, in fact, rebels in Syria supported and supplied by Turkey. Sounds of Dissent’s John Grebe of WZBC-Boston on January 2 gave Ray the hour needed to explain what happened and the implications.
Before you listen: Doesn’t what you’ve seen in the NY Times convince you that Assad “gassed his own people?” Please listen:
https://archive.org/details/DidRebelsUseSarinGasRayMcGovernWZBC
A Call for Proof on Syria-Sarin Attack
Documentary evidence based on an official Turkish investigation-then-cover-up corroborates earlier reporting that rebels in Syria – with the indispensable support of Turkey — were responsible for the chemical attack, not President Assad’s government (as U.S. officials and media stenographers keep claiming).

I don’t know if I can get on board with the, “It’s all going to script” in an objective fulfilled sense.
Isolating Russia from non-UN organizations, international sporting events/associations and similar activities are all undertaken with an objective in mind. The 2019 report, “Extending Russia – Competing from Advantageous Ground” recommends this exact scenario in Chapter 5 – “Ideological and Informational Measures.” However it is a tactic that is supposed to have a longer term outcome. To cause the domestic population to question the ability of the government to make good on its agenda to return Russia to being a significant global power. (Not my opinion, just taking information fromt he report).
However the diplomatic efforts by the Russian Foreign Ministry to have Russia’s security concerns taken seriously in late 2021 and early 2022, which were disregarded by the West; the carefully laid out objectives, in public, by President Putin regarding the operation in Ukraine, along with the video footage of Russian POWs beng tortured, stories by survivors and rabid Russophobia; all leave the general population with very high degrees of support for President Putin and a significant proportion of the Government Departments and Duma.
So as far as the objective that this researched ‘measure’ was seeking to achieve it has come nowhere near being an actual success and it doesn’t look like it will achieve those outcomes any time soon. Especially while it is select Western governments and media that is sending the messaging. The report itself states that messaging by Westerners will not be positively received in Russia in other areas.
I’ve been going over a few old reports and documents from Western think tanks and organisations and the simple fact is that to date non of their projections or desired outcomes have been achieved. As has been mentioned numerous times here by Saker et al, they’ve hit a point where they are mostly making it up as they go along, or has my more rural uncle would say, “Throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.” That’s no real way to run this kind of operation.
Influencing the Western public was always going to be relatively simple. The longer it goes on some will dig in deeper to their unquestioning acceptance while others will ask why all the narratives are the same? But convincing the Western public only does one thing. Prepares them to accept a conflict is justified. Conventional war will not only be Russia vs the West. China cannot afford to loose Russia’s backing so would need to move as well. Even those running this shitshow can’t see that being positive, a war in both spheres against sophisticated and prepared adversaries, who have already made it clear that the decision centres will be targeted. This is before even factoring in that some poorer States will be facing food and energy insecurity which are known to agitate local grievances increasing the possibility of smaller conflicts to occur simultaneously. It does not paint a rosy picture of a world that is conducive to trade and the ongoing transfer of commodities from some of those smaller states. They’re not
So I don’t know. I understand that the onslaught of Western propaganda and isolation of Russia from particular bodies is being done and appears to be a success. But unless desired outcomes are achieved it does nothing of substance in harming Russia’s ability to continue to exist and indeed the closing down of exports does more damage to global trade and manufacture in other states.
“So I don’t know. I understand that the onslaught of Western propaganda and isolation of Russia from particular bodies is being done and appears to be a success.”
Well it is not only labour saving but simultaneously in the short-term perceptions of some it “appears to be a success”, thereby encouraging amplification, iteration, and we-the-people-hold-these-truths-to-be-self-evidentness in “wonderlands”, including increasing Mass Psychogenic illness.
A possible critical capability to absorb western mass medias has been, in my opinion, wiped out by the covid-19 pandemic. In this last two years the level of understanding by the west public has shrinked to levels never seen before. It’s a global process of social engineering. Now, a false flags operation in a war torn area usually works for a very short time and doesn’t change the military situation, That’s for reality. We are all imbebbed in continous information flow but, again, this doesn’t affect so much real life as we may think at first glance. Similarly when we talk about NATO and Russia it’s quite clear that the first will not fight a nuclear war to save its croonies in east Europe. It may be also clear that the second one will soon decide to wipe out severals NATO bases in Poland, Romania and in the Baltic states. You know, just to be clear enough on the stakes in this confrontation. This will not be a false flags, it will be just real. I think we are witnessing the last cycle of the UN and the birth of new political entities. Sadly this processes never go with peaceful means.
Good article on how a pro-Russian Galicia was turned into an anti-Russian hellhole:
“Gallows and executions – without counting, without edge and end.” How Russians were destroyed in Galicia
https://en.topwar.ru/194263-viselicy-i-rasstrely-bez-scheta-bez-kraju-i-konca-kak-unichtozhali-russkih-v-galicii.html
Why does the Kremlin continue to keep the economies of its NATO enemies alive by exporting gas to them? How would you feel about that if you were a Russian soldier dodging Ukinazi bullets?
Pundits in the West say why buy their gas if it gives them a lot of money to buy bullets, etc., and Zelensky made clear that he feels bad about it too. He told the U.S. Congress that not buying Russian oil would be worse than disconnecting them from Swift (“even more powerful than SWIFT”), and he told the Dutch also not to buy Russian oil. (It’s like he has a death wish – crazy guy. Doesn’t fear the Russians one bit. The British do fear, almost everybody does.) Anyway, if Zelensky says that…
Zelinsky only read CIA narrative in the US embassy in Poland.
He would be the first to lose transit fees, which means, due to high prices between 2.5 and 3 billion for UKR.
Some of us in the West are discussing this need for a new security architecture for peace and development. See this Saturday and Sunday conference that will include Russian, Chinese and Third world voices at http://www.schillerinstitute.com April 9th and 10th, free online registration.
Okay, thank you for the great analysis.
However, as the operation continues, I become more and more convinced:
1. the controllership of the Empire of Lies never intended to have a kinetic and/or territorial victory in the Russian borderlands; somewhere in the swamp, their are prime controllers which already knew that the Russian military capability, especially with its back covered by a comprehensive strategic partner, cannot be stopped by the rainbow alphabetized military of the coalition of the Empire of Lies.
2. this was always a stage for an information war on the citizens of Zone A, and they as the prime target for this psyop, are gobbling it all up (and wiping the unsavory mess from both ends while saying, “thank you, more please” – truly disgusting)
3. the purpose of this information war on the citizens of Zone A, is to cover the tracks of the collective 1%ers, who have used the last major information war against the citizens, the health-threat-justified undermining of rights, to conduct the greatest theft in human history, by the 1%ers, against the 99%, this second phase is to assign the blame to Russia, and in particular, their new cartoonish paragon of evil, who by any objective measure is the best major world leader for the past (at least) 100 years, as measured by improvement in the standard of living for the citizens
Otherwise, as is usual in the virtual reality of the Zone A bubble, nothing makes any sense!
Everything going on in the nominal theatre of war, is really theatre, a platform for information warfare, and tactical in nature.
Meanwhile, in the comparatively cognitively emancipated Zone B, the leadership of the prime states is working at a strategic level, realizing the Zone A controllership is destroying their own societies which will result in a decreased capacity to make non-nuclear war.
What was that saying about not interrupting an enemy from defeating itself…..
Maybe Sun Szu?
The problem is the whacko controllership of Zone A follows a clear pattern of control everything, or destroy it all, and all they have are the nukes.
Dear Saker,
I am very ashamed as an argentinian that my government decided to vote against Russia regarding the UN Human Rights chapter.
Russia was the only one (besides some China help) that sent us COVID vaccines when the americans themselves even captured and retained our own AZ manufactured down here and sent to Mexico for packaging (long story).
And Russia has always sided with Argentina in our claim of sovereignty over Malvinas Islands.
Very sorry. I won’t vote again for these traitors.
It’s clear there is 1) a military war and 2) a narrative war.
Readers of this site are likely to except Russia to triumph militarily over the Ukrainian forces. Reasonably so. The real danger is that US/NATO/Empire uses a false flag to insert itself into the conflict, turning this into a much bigger war.
Bucha is part of the narrative war but it is not significant enough. It remains wholly in Ukraine and is contested.
This is a high stakes battle between The West and Russia. What will the West do once it realizes it will lose the military war and Putin will not be overthrown?
Would they resort to a false flag on US soil?
Just want to get this in print: I have seen it alleged that there will be a false flag attack on NYC on 4/18 to be blamed on the Russians.
Much more probable on EU soil, easier to sell to the sheeps.
How is it possible that traitor Erdogan agent, Peskov just said ” we have significant losses”..did this idiot ever heard about keeping the troops morale high in a war(any war)??Shut up please.
Scandalous.
Possible capture of a US Lt. Gen. in Mariupol.
I take a break from Ramadan isolation to share the news about the possible capture in Mariupol of US Lieutenant General Roger L. Clothier. If true, this could be a blow to Biden’s farcical “no US troops in Ukraine.” A US Army Lt. Gen. is not going to be in Mariupol on his own volition, entrenched and held up in Azovstal along with the Azov “battalion.” He was officially detached by the US Army, to instruct, observe, direct, and train the Ukronazis.
The sources are two, one is Military Chronicle, a reliable Russian news source with a day to day reporting on Mariupol and other areas of the special operation.
https://voenhronika.ru/publ/vojna_na_ukraine/boeviki_azova_prizhaty_k_morju_v_portu_mariupolja_boi_7_aprelja_govorjat_v_plen_popal_komandujushhij_sukhoputnymi_vojskami_nato_2022/60-1-0-11828
Azov fighters pinned to the sea in the port of Mariupol: fighting on April 7. They say the commander of the NATO ground forces was captured! (2022)
“…There are unconfirmed reports that the Russian army captured the commander of the NATO ground forces, Lieutenant General Roger L. Clothier, near Mariupol. Other sources allegedly report his death, but the United States and NATO have not yet commented…”
The other is Avia.pro, unreliable and to be distrusted. This is where I read it first, then at Military Chronicle. Avia.pro is known to be a tool for the Ukrainians, they use the translation pretext to misinform and distort the news via innuendo.
https://avia-pro.net/news/ssha-oficialno-ne-podtverzhdayut-zahvat-amerikanskogo-generala-v-mariupole
The United States does not officially confirm the capture of an American general in Mariupol
An American general, while in Mariupol, could be captured.
Against the background of the information that appeared on the territory of Mariupol, Lieutenant General of the US Army, who leads the Allied Ground Command, Roger Cloutier, could be surrounded, it is reported that the latter could indeed be in Ukraine and even in Mariupol, however, the United States so far do not comment on the possible capture of the American general.
It is known that Lieutenant General of the US Army Roger Cloutier could indeed be in Ukraine in February of this year, however, neither the general nor the Pentagon comment on the information that the senior officer of the US Army was in Ukraine and that he could to be captured.
The First Minister of State Security of the DPR noted that he had no information about the captivity of an American general, although he did not rule out the presence of foreign instructors.
“I don’t know about any major military commanders of foreign states. Perhaps there really is a certain number of foreign instructors.- said the first Minister of State Security of the DPR, Doctor of Political Sciences Andrey Pinchuk…

PS: Hopefully this is true, dead or alive.
On a final note, though not posting, I read the blog in search of new info and interesting links. After I posted I was withdrawing into isolation for Ramadan, someone posted a question about whether the Chechens would fast while fighting. Fasting during Ramadan is an obligation for all Muslims, and the heroic Chechens will not give up fasting for any reason. There is the misunderstanding that fasting weakens the body, no food, no water, from 8 to 12 hours, depending on your latitude. On the contrary, fasting is a high energy month for us, reason all Muslims, including yours truly, look forward to its coming, and we sadden when it goes. Fasting for Muslims is a “spiritual high,” and no Muslim who has ever fast will miss it for any reason, in war or peace. Chechen brothers will be put to shame if they wouldn’t be fasting while fighting. By Allah, they are.
Salaam to all.
I don’t see why these people aren’t before cameras and they get to announce themselves, and their status, if the reports are true. Wouldn’t that be a propaganda coup?
I can speculate on reasons why that doesn’t happen:
* a prisoner exchange is done and mums the word to get it done
*media control and censorship automatically goes to the next level of complete censorship
*they don’t really have the prisoners to parade
*it’s against international law to use POWs for propaganda
I tend to believe there are prisoners and it would be humanitarian strategy to give them a YouTube channel, but some don’t take prisoners, and real war is hard to pursue if if the wounded or disabled are seen as a consequence of that.
It can be real and never reach MSM, but it’s all about witnesses, and what they are willing or able to bear witness of.

FYI. May be theirs is false. Only General Mordivichev and Kadyrov may know the truth.
Can’t wait for the final news to come out. Dead or alive.
Today the French authorities were incensed at a Russian Embassy cartoon showing a scene of a road covered in photographers, tanks, bodies, busy people, action, sunglasses, all the usual pell mell of a movie, representing the bucha set up as NOT told to us by the only narrative presented by every member of the MSM on Sunday.
Maria Zhakharova’s comment on the dismay of the French reminded them that the anti-Muslim cartoons they insisted on spreading a few years ago as “humour” were used to show the Russian appreciation of this freedom of speech!
