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.
Andrei
False flags have a temporary impact. The truth has a long term impact. Imposing your will on the enemy in a sustained manner until they capitulate has a long term impact. The West is a lost cause for Russia and most of the rest of the world. Its time to move on, and close the door behind you. Russia is doing what it must do, and it is just. It must finish the operation and achieves all of its objectives. Standing tall.
Sorry but this is just wrong. False flags have a temporary impact you say? How do you define temporary? Years? Decades? Millennia? Whoever controls the narrative wins. This false flag is probably going to stick. Andrei Martyanov keeps talking about war tribunals where the truth will come out. Do any of you seriously believe that is going to happen?
I get what you are trying to say here and I have sympathy with where you are coming from but you like many of the writers and readers of this blog just don’t get it. The battlefield isn’t constrained to a place where bombs and rockets get launched. The real war is the Information war and Russia is lightyears behind the Empire of Hate and Lies.
The information war, like the military war in Ukraine is already over. And Russia has already lost it.
deedee, your comment brings to mind the 1984 quote “Who controls the past, controls the future: who controls the present controls the past”, basically controlling the narrative. living in the Belly of the Beast, old name for Empire of Lies prepares us for americans willingness to buy in to every lie since they first polluted our shores at Plymouth rock. unless their govt tells them to care about someone (the Kurds, Christians in the Sudan, Afghani women) they are happy to see people on the other side of the world die. This is a somewhat different situation tho, with food and fuel prices inflating they will soon be figuratively throwing Ukranians under the bus. I’d like to think they will turn on the whole dam system but more likely they’ll only turn to the other war party, the Republicans who will possibly shift some of their racist hatred towards China. my opinion, anyway.
Yes, the circumstances enveloping the West now will be sufficiently severe to produce a paradigm shift in the political outlook of White Americans. Yet it will be more radical than you suggest. In the end White Americans will cast aside the Zionist oligarchs that control the West and empower leadership who shall lead them in a quest for a return to racial-civilizational greatness.
I mean, take your own way of thinking to its logical conclusion. If Western Europeans – and White Americans are almost exclusively descended from Western Europeans – are such nasty, irredeemable racists IN ADDITION to being formidable enemies of an almost superhuman stature, then WHY WOULDN’T they do precisely as I have predicted they will?
The best that can be done with them is to try to contain people of Western European descent to their own sphere of the world in which they exert dominance, hoping this striving for dominance doesn’t spill out into other geopolitical spheres. Otherwise we will have nuclear war and then everyone dies.
…in fact who controls the money controls the – past, present and future. Therefore this war against the dollar mafia must end up with a clear victory for China, Russia, Iran, and the other members of the B zone. They must coordinate their actions in more effective ways than what’s currently happening. As mentioned in the article, there are only 10 million cream of the crop members of the dollar mafia. Assuming that this forms the body of a crawling snake, in order to get rid of this creature one must go for its head.
I’m an American and I can’t honestly say that anything I’ve done over the years or anything anyone I know has done to try and change our political landscape has had any real impact, so we’re focusing on the local elections in an attempt to keep the states and cities in the “middle of the country” independent and capable of thinking for themselves and strong enough to defend ourselves from the Federal Government. The Federal government is not our government and the mainstream media is their Tokyo Rose. Personally, I don’t trust any of the NGOs operating anywhere – or even FEMA (OMG), or The Red Cross. I think America was probably already gone by the time I was born and it has taken a lifetime to try and figure out what in the world is going on. I kept making comments to friends that our political system is just two sides of the same dirty coin and they didn’t get it. I kept saying our financial system and fiat money system won’t last much longer, buy gold and silver and they didn’t get it. So, I found new friends who get it but I have no idea how many of us there really are. I can say I hear many, many more positive comments about Putin here in the USA than I do about almost any of our politicians – there are a few good political activists like Kennedy, and some who are actively waging legal wars against our government (like Judicial Watch), but they have their hands full. So, we’re working local – local Sherriff elections, local boards of education, local banks and currencies, homeschooling, and what have you. How do you combat the ‘real’ president of the United States that isn’t even president any longer or a puppet stand-in that wasn’t even elected by the people? How do we find, elect and protect an honest and capable president when we know all the good ones get assassinated? Life in America changed and the first sign that it had (to many) was when Kennedy was assassinated and it has been, as Alex Christoforou calls it a “Clown Car Show” ever since. Most Americans are struggling to accept what has happened, and many to prepare to defend ourselves from those who have infiltrated and killed America. Perhaps we will recover America, but I doubt it because we don’t have the cohesive culture that exists in other lands, or maybe this is one of the lessons that young people have to learn on their way to adulthood – who can tell at this point? As they say, for Americans 200 years is a long time and for Europeans 200 miles is a long distance.
Precisely why they have driven wedges between us all with identity politics. Remember, if you say anything positive about Putin, then you are a white supremacist. O.k. by me, call me what you want, but I completely support Putin in this war, and if the nukes start flying, let
Wa$hington be the first city destroyed.
It’s not a question of how many there are, but how many stay there. Too many people are too easily swayed by the promise of comfort, whether that be monetary comfort, social comfort, etc. If the pareto principle would hold true than only 20% would be needed to usher in change. I reckon the network effect of the internet gives you the impression that there are many, when in reality the few have simply found each other and then concentrate in one area so to speak. Very similar to the ever present tales of oppression of trans-people for example. I think it was a recent yougov survey that showed that those surveyed believe that 30% of the population is trans. When in reality it is 0.6% in the US (0.16% in Europe, which in itself already shows what constant flow of information in one direction can produce, since 4 fold difference is not easily explained by a natural phenomenon). It is the volume of the message that creates the change. Not how many are behind the message. Conservatives just don’t have enough of a volume in their message. Also Russia’s problem. Not enough of it, not loud enough, not impactful enough, not emotional enough, and so on.
You and those like you create no notable impact because there are not enough of you and the few that there are don’t create enough fuss. No need for many though: BLM, very few, big fuss. LGBetc, very few, big fuss.
I believe as you do, too. However, one has a hard time determining what to believe. This site is very informative. I would suggest joining Team America in your state. https://jeffreyprather.com/ Scroll down on this website. Jeffrey Prather provides twice weekly podcasts. Prather believes we are in 5th generational warfare AKA informational warfare and our generals are fighting with yesterday’s war “machines.” He suggests that we “dress in black” and join BLM and infiltrate the democrats as a democrat poll watcher. Why not?? Didn’t the deep state infiltrate the Trump team? Thanks for pointing me to Alex Christoforou. I will check him out.
I‘m shocked at how easily you can forget about our best friends, the Yezeties (sp.), Oso!!! Wasn’t it their plight that brought us on Syria‘s inhospitable shores?
Just kidding! Great point you’re making!
very astute. “livin in the belly of the beast”, haven’t heard that one in awhile. and yes, i see the shift twd china already in motion. lunatics who wage war on multiple fronts?!?!? oh, the dying beast is most furious but ineffective in its fury. just stand back, it will soon expire.
Absurd. The rules are changing in case you haven’t noticed. The US/Israel and their lackey’s are in deep trouble. The world is sick of their BS. With Russia’s success, no one will give a damn about the US narrative. Russia can call them out as the liars they are and the countries that have been harassed and destroyed are going to say “Yes!, Death to the US! Death to the occupiers! We are done with you!’ That is what will happen and is happening.
The world is sick of their BS.
Yep.
Let’s see how this all plays out.
I know it’s hard to admit but it’s better to face facts. No one cares about the truth. That’s a quaint 20th century idea.
a verdade significa casa para morar,comida na mesa e trabalho para sustentar a estrutura em movimento(educação,saúde,transporte,ect)
o resto pode ser consumo de informação política,que vence a cada eleição.Ou antes,
segurar a questão da sobrevivência não requer tanta complexidade desde que seja minimamente sustentável
a guerra quebra tudo isso,com ou sem guerra de informação,em curto ou médio prazo
Mod: Make certain in future posts to provide a translation,as required by Saker. Moderation is too busy these days to do that for you.And will be forced to send those posts to trash.
the truth means a house to live in, food on the table and work to support the moving structure (education, health, transport, ect)
the rest can be consumption of political information, which wins each election. Or rather,
handling the issue of survival does not require so much complexity as long as it is minimally sustainable
war breaks all that, with or without information war, in the short or medium term
Jen Psaki is this you? Many DO care about the truth. Many. Millions of people. You seem to be just a lemming, resigned to your fate. Too bad for you.
Of course many do, there are billions of people on earth. There are always many who do something. But the thing is, many do, but most don’t.
Pointing out the reality that most people are lemmings doesn’t make you a lemming.
I agree, many many many of the regular population DO care about the truth, and such a defeatist attitude about that it doesn’t matter is a bit wimpish in my view
Recent election results in many countries show that voters in some countries do care about truth.
People indeed notice, hence the comments. I cannot speak for deedee but I agree with everything else you wrote, Pamela. the world is indeed sick of their BS, and they should be called out as liars, but they are duplicitous and dangerous and still wield immense power. absurd or not, their populace overwhelmingly believes in US exceptionalism and buys into the narrative and denying that only complicates matters.
That is simply not true. The US and their cohorts are dangerous. I’ve not denied this but who says the game cannot change? The US does not give a rat’s ass about their “people” nor does the EU. Their populace will change like the weather. Largely people are dense. Do you recognize this when going out? They are drugged up and downtrodden. If suddenly the narrative changed so would public opinion.
What complicates matters? How? So we should just except the circumstances? No.
accept … .
The collective entity which self refers as “THE International Community” [ie USA/Europe/Canada/Japan/S. Korea/Australasia] represents around 13% of the Worlds population. What its serfs believe in this small minority of the planet is an irrelevance as far as the other 87% are concerned.
Of course, not everyone within that 13% is on board with the bullshit. Just as not everyone within the 87% is immune from it. For around half a millennium no one has had the capacity and ability to challenge what Micheal Brenner refers to as the ‘Jerks’
https://consortiumnews.com/2022/04/06/jerks/
in any practical sense. Until now.
Despite the constant lamentations of what self refers to as the political ‘left’ in Zone A words, rhetoric, wailing and gnashing of teeth, demonstrations, moralising, and other virtue signalling etc from a safe distance has singularly failed to prevent or have any practical impact on a single example from Nicaragua to Chile; Iraq to Yemen; Indonesia to Vietnam; Libya to Syria and countless other examples going back a very long way.
The refrain is always ‘why does someone not do something about this.’ Implicitly recognising not only the futility of getting even two million on the streets of London or Paris or Berlin (run up to Iraq invasion 2003) in terms of altering such slaughter but also that someone else will always be next. Right here, right now that is Russia and China.
On the evidential record there can be no doubt that if the RF had not preempted the Donbass would by now be a bloodbath of slaughtered Russian speaking civilians at the hands of nazi thugs. And the wailing and gnashing of teeth would doubtless continue its lamentations to little effect. As has been the case in countless previous examples.
Andrei Martyanov referenced some dark humour recently:
“Two Soviet squaddies sharing a cigarette in the ruins of the Berlin Reichstag during the spring of 1945.
One soldier turns to the other and says; ‘Rumour is we lost the information war.'”
Someone has now put up a cease and desist sign rather than pontificate about how terrible this continues to be.
And you know what? The majority of that 87% have looked, considered and are starting to shove two fingers up to that 13% minority. Africa, most of Asia (the Heartland/World Island), the Near East and even significant parts of Latin America are pointedly refusing to sanction. A sizable chunk are ditching the dollar and trading oil and gas in Rubles/local currencies/gold. A trend which will grow with other commodities.
Sadly, all the collective West has is its own fantasy bullshit narrative. A narrative which cannot compete with reality.
Those among the 13% who prefer their own made up subjective reality are welcome to it. Objective reality always catches up.
Indeed it does. Great post.
Unfortunately, the strength of the western block is still too great. Surely the difference in people representing each block is very significant. But the military power, the finance, the economic and the control of the flux of information is all in favor of the west and in a significant way. How long until objective reality will catch up. This balance in strength of both blocks gives me the idea that this situation will results in a bitter long lasting conflict. the social tech sorcerers have charmed the zombies and made them ready for battle so, diplomacy, might never come.
“the strength of the western block is still too great”
True, that’s what I said in another post just a couple of hours ago. Nobody can beat the combined military and economic power of the US/Nato; however, the lies, the false flags, the words which lose their meaning, etc., all signal a moral crisis of the West that will destroy the empire from the inside. Trump, populism, the anti-establishment movement, fake news, fake reality, etc., are just the first symptoms of its inevitable demise.
Politics is dynamic and not static. The Neocon drive for world domination which was to start with the wars in the Middle East, instead of strengthening the US, has actually strengthened its rivals: Russia and Iran. Millions killed, tens of millions made homeless and trillions of USD pissed away in the sand did not make the US stronger. The US achieved the opposite of what it set out to achieve. Due to its hubris, the empire is its own greatest enemy.
Wait til Russia starts exposing all the ukie crimes. When the captured azov goons have their day in court, and all the civilian witnesses expose them, it won´t be pretty. The west will notice. Yeah, they will deny all charges, condemn it all as Stalinist show trials, and such. But it will have a bad PR effect for the Zone A narrative nevertheless, especially when hundreds of these azov goons start being given sentences, which may include death.
I agree. What began as a spread of democracy once again turned into something much more sinister ! I’m worried in the USA we will fall for this anti-Russian narrative with our in much need of repair military.
“What began as a spread of democracy once again turned into something much more sinister ”
It never was about “spreading democracy”. Or how do you explain the US’s closest ally in the ME: Saudi Arabia?
The US/West used democracy and human rights as a pretext for imperial expansion. Thus, instead of strengthening democracy, the US/West is actually undermining democracy and human rights abroad and at home. The lies will undermine the credibility of Western regimes.
When you say Russia has lost the info war, you imply the opponent won it, however you might like to define that opponent.
How can it be a victory when it has come at the cost of the ‘winner’s’ self-destruction of its own core economic framework?
Is this perhaps just an early round in a much longer contest of both information and structural capacity? How might future rounds of the info war go when the so-called current ‘winners’ become mired in the miasmic bog of internal infrastructure devolution? Alongside that internal collapse the ‘winner’s’ capacity to wage it’s global campaign will steadily and significantly diminish. Who might possibly listen to this allegedly victorious maniac when he is a beggar?
Maybe the current ‘loser’ has a longer time-frame for victory than do the goldfish constituents of The West.
Indeed. With energy and fuel prices going through the roof, increasing protests, and falling standards of living in the EU and US, it is a phyrric victory for Zone A. Lies and delusions only go so far to sustain their psyche. Reality inevitable knocks on the door, and slaps you awake. When these fools start losing their jobs, homes, and savings, the fate of azov psychos in ukraine and false flag narratives will be the last thing on their warped minds.
Perhaps the design goal is to crash the western economy especially that of the US dollar. The WEF great reset wants a global digital currency. That can’t happen if the dollar isn’t broken. Now the Fed is actively devaluing the dollar by printing it and giving it to their own companies. They printed more dollars in response to Covid then they spent on a 20+ year war in Afghanistan going mostly to drug makers. That is one leg of the operation. Also we see fuel shortages exacerbated by the shutdown of production and pipelines along with a “bird flu” pandemic to destroy poultry, farmer being paid by the us gov’t to not grow any crops. (you can bet this is why Gates is now the largest farmland owner in the US, he’s getting paid to do nothing with the land). So in all prices are being driven upwards, fuel and food are being limited, the people are being culled by vaccinations and their side effects which leaves shortages in the workforce. Meanwhile, the Bogeyman war in Ukraine is keeping most eyes off the plan which is unfolding.
Will the BRICS money be a temporary stop-gap until a universal global currency is realized. It is necessary to crack the dollar, that’s for sure. On the surface it seems insane that those who run the governments want to crash their currencies which are already controlled by the bankers. Why kill what you already own? I think the US and it’s form of government must be entirely destroyed in to create a one world government. Too many americans still hold firm to the values held by the constitution and therefore it must be destroyed (and those people silenced and minimalized. The war is a means to get focus away from the complete disaster that is domestic policy of the current regime in the US. But people are still quite upset about domestic issues. I see very few people who care one way or another about Ukraine, their only concern is nuclear war. No one wants that.
So the war is on the face against Russia but in those at the top it is waged against the people in Zone A. They are on edge. But they are drugged stupified by ubiquitous entertainment and flooded with propaganda 24/7. We are seeing corporations dictating policy on its workers (forced mask wearing) where the local gov’ts have dropped that mandate due to pushback. can’t work if you don’t wear a mask. The war is real and is coming from many directions. that makes it very hard to see the whole picture as I am surely missing many more details.
Your post really stuck in my craw. You are regurgitating a common and tired narrative. “It has always been said..” Did it ever occur to to you that life is fluid? Things can change? Just because something has been drilled into people’s heads’ for a century doesn’t mean it is so as a matter of fact. You except the narrative because obviously you are comfortable with it. I don’t. Don’t forget to wear your mask either because “new” variants are coming.
DeeDee, your logic is pretty flawed. You seem to define “winning the information war” as convincing the civilians of the enemy nations of your narrative. Thus since Russia can’t convince the peoples of the west its narrative it has “lost”.
The problem is by that line of logic the Empire of Lies has conclusively lost the information war since support for Russia’s special military operation and Putin has only increased IN RUSSIA. Meanwhile its propaganda media outlets have been banned inside Russia to prevent it from engaging in further misinformation.
Thus the only thing the propaganda machine of the Empire of Lies can do is to lie to its own people. It’s akin to Baghdad Bob telling Iraqis they were winning the war all the way until the Marines stormed his compound.
Real boots on the ground and real commodities win conflicts, not lies and printed monopoly money. Nazi Germany won the propaganda war too but it didn’t stop the Russians from rolling into Berlin.
Clear and profound.
Well said great post
“Andrei Martyanov keeps talking about war tribunals where the truth will come out. Do any of you seriously believe that is going to happen?”
Yes. It’ll happen in Russia. The legitimacy of the tribunals and the truths attested will be accepted by most of the world and rejected by whatever’s left of the West.
(That assumes the Western nations get through this cycle of war without escalating to nuclear war, in which case the question of tribunals likely would become moot.)
Question is, will Zone A take everyone down with them rather than take a step back?
As I heard from a colleague:
“Yes, you’re probably right.
I will never forget the two Soviet soldiers in Berlin,1945, lamenting that the USSR had lost the information war to Goebbels…”
We don’t need to go back far in History, do we?
How many people in the world even understand the role that right-wing militias played in the Euromaidan of 2014?
I think the majority of reader’s on this site understand quite well. The right-wing Militia that you are referring to are (I hate to say this) brainwashed, poor slobs. They were told they were going to defeat the evil Russians that were holding back their prosperity. They could join the EU and have jobs, fun, the good life. Be like everyone else. It was Russia’s fault. That damn Yanukovych. Guess What? It wasn’t Russia’s fault. The poor Ukrainian people have been taken advantage of for many decades. The oligarchs(Jewish) and the US has had a Hard-on (sorry to be so crass) for Russia to get their resources for many decades. The new RF doesn’t play ball with the WEF so they needed to go.The US has been trying to get to Russia recently with fervor. Syria, Kazakhstan, before that Georgia. Armenia and Azerbaijan, this is also problematic for Russia with Israel involved as well. This is nothing new. Conquer and kill. This is what they seek to do. No sovereign countries anymore. Just a serf class and rulers.
Many people don’t understand in the US about the coup in 2014. They have no clue. They don’t care. It’s the new trend just like BLM and it appears in the near future all people will care about is safety, food, warmth and getting through the day. I don’t get your where you’re coming from at all.
“The right-wing Militia that you are referring to are (I hate to say this) brainwashed, poor slobs. They were told they were going to defeat the evil Russians that were holding back their prosperity. They could join the EU and have jobs, fun, the good life.”
It’s more like the right wing militias used a pro-Western protest movement (engineered by the US) to topple the elected president. There’s a video of a C14 leader in Ukraine explaining to his followers, that Westerners didn’t understand a thing, they didn’t understand that even if the far-right only represented 10% of the Maidan crowd, without the violent escalation of Swoboda and the Right Sector, the protest would just have been a gay parade that couldn’t have toppled the president. The right wing militias obviously detest so-called Western values.
The 90% may have been misguided in that their alleged demand for Western values first of all meant Western living standards. Looking at Ukrainian politics during the last 30 years, it is clear that they have a far way to go.
deedee, I disagree with you. In the grand scheme of things, this False Flag, isn’t going to matter. People don’t care. The goal of Russia, China, and a large pack behind them, is to take down the Empire. When the Empire collapses, the “narrative” that you talk about, will fall apart just like the Nazi’s “narratives” did. This isn’t the first time the Russians take down an empire by the way. They did it to the Swedes in 1707, French 1812, and Germans 1941. This time, it’ll be the US, at least in Europe. Has any False Flag in history mattered? Nope! What’s NATO going to do? Imagine a fight did break out and India and China start sending troops and weapons to Europe…..do you know how many soldiers these two can field?
The reality is the opposite to what you want to imagine. The NATO countries are sending troops and weapons to Asia – Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Australia – surrounding China.
I think you’re delusional. You’re going by hearsay about countries that have very little stake to go to war. American soldiers American soldiers no know what they are up against. They know the shape of our military and the mindset of many of them who are in there for personal gain which has nothing to do with fighting. Your great NATO is a paper tiger. Let them have Taiwan and we will learn the hard way that globalism has been the greatest mistake of the West, our founding fathers warned us to keep all powers local. That being said I believe they meant commerce as well meaning to a large degree we would be self sufficient under the protection of our God given rights. Let these large conglomerates pay the price for their greed. Call things local will be the motto in years to come !
“This isn’t the first time the Russians take down an empire by the way. They did it to the Swedes in 1707, French 1812, and Germans 1941. This time, it’ll be the US, at least in Europe.”
You forgot the Mongol invasion between 1237 and 1242, and the Polish-Lithuanian occupation of Moscow between 1610 and 1612.
The thing is, Russia always had “strategic depths”. Today, it’s China that provides another level of strategic depth on the economic front.
I agree that the truth has little to do with anything, it is the established truth that matters. And I agree that Russia has lost the batle of the narrative in Zone A, and probably in some of Zone B as well. The war is not limites to the battlefield, where Russia dominates right now, there are other theatres.
But the narrative is but one of them. An just as important theatre is the economics, not so much the stockmarket and phantasy econony, but the bread-and-butter-and-heat-in-the-winter economy. I doubt that the barbarous-Russian narative is strong enough to justify acts of war, they are designed to justify sanctions, especially sanctions that severs the ties between EU and Russia, something USA has worked to achieve in a long time. The 1%ers believe that in the long run, their financial economy is stronger than the comodity economy of Russia. Historically it has been stronger, but that was in the days when the financial institutions existed to finance industrial production.
Industrial production has historically dominated comodities, ever since England subdued a quarter of the world as a result of the industriql revolution. But it did so because the industrial production created so much added value, real value, that they could fund a superiour military force. Thus the small island in the North Sea could subdue the subcontinent of India.
This is no longer the situation. How will the narative survive a prolonged conflict where the 1%-ruled Zone A experience not only soaring comodity prices that deprive the voters of their luxuary way if life? Will they double down on it? Possibly, but I think that in Zone B, they will not. And I think that Zone B probably will grow a bit, and leave only the former colonial masters in Zone A. And they may byvthat time have experienced a periode of inflation that cannot be remedied by an increased industrial production, because they have outsourced their industries. How do they then fund their war machines?
Re accepting the narrative in Zone B, Africa doesn’t seem to be playing along.
Here is a very relevant contribution from my Moscow contact, regarding a recent meeting that took place at a very fancy address in Paris. The evening’s program did not go as planned:
“Overly occupied with Ukraine, France has lost Africa”
https://en.interaffairs.ru/article/overly-occupied-with-ukraine-france-has-lost-africa/
“Europe is fascinated by military news coming from Ukraine, but it may get it coming from where it is not expecting.
On March 12, I was at a gathering at the Paris debating club Cercle des Nouveaux Mondes, held in honor of Lionel Zinsou, former Prime Minister of Benin, a graduate of the French Higher School of Political Science, financier and a Rothschild group employee. Gathered in the sumptuous Salon Foch, at 33 rue Faubourg Saint-Honoré, were mostly the “fledglings from the Rothschild nest,” bankers, diplomats, and a few acting ministers.
The host addressed the guests with a greeting and, having paid tribute to fashion, dutifully voiced his support for the “unfortunate people of Ukraine.” Then he gave the floor to the guest of honor, the whole event was actually being held for. And then something went wrong. Lionel Zinsou also mentioned the Ukrainian crisis:
“All we hear now is this crisis, anti-Russian sanctions, oil, gas… Do you understand what this crisis means, for example, for Africa? Russia supplies us with grain and corn. All logistics go through the Black Sea. And the African world froze in horror watching just what was going on. Terrified by the actions of the US and the European Union.
Africans won’t buy your stories about democracy. These are just your fairy tales for internal consumption. The majority of the African elite was educated in the Soviet Union – doctors, engineers, pilots, teachers, scientists. Russians are the only Europeans who have decolonized Africa. And Africa remembers it. Just as Africa remembers European atrocities.
If you noticed, African countries did not support the UN resolution condemning Russia. And they will never support any resolutions against Russia. It is etched into any African’s mind that Russia is good, no matter what you think about it. Period.
All of Africa is watching the Central African Republic and Mali. What the Europeans had failed to do for decades, the Russians accomplished in a year. In place of the Central African Republic there were gangs, while today there is a real state there.
I know that there are diplomats here, Foreign Ministry employees. I appeal to you, to French diplomacy: look for a solution to your problem as soon as possible, because if the conflict does not end in a month, Africa will break out.
For you energy problems always come first. In the worst case, you will have less heat and fewer cars, while in Africa we will have hunger! Hear me out, the crisis in Africa will mean the destruction of Europe.
Come to your senses, look for diplomatic solutions. And don’t forget that countries like India and China support Russia. Africa supports Russia. . .
I do not want to talk about democracy, and you will not make me, an African, to shed tears over stories about the unfortunate Ukraine and calls for humanity. Your democracy is your business. There is no need to impose on us your ideas about how we, Africans, should live our lives.
Again! Look for compromises, let the diplomats do their job. Time is against us. We have 30 days! Thirty! Not more!””
Sidney Cabessa, senior consultant at the Rothschild banking group, believes that things need to be looked at with common sense.
“French companies are leaving Russia, losing their connections, capital, reputation there, and at the same time they risk losing Africa. Because right now France is facing the worst crisis in the Sahel. The fall of the pro-French Ibrahim Boubacar Keita and Roche Marc Christian Kabore rendered French policy in the Sahel untenable. Political crisis in Chad, Sudan, Guinea, the expulsion of France from Mali, the irretrievable loss of the Central African Republic. All this is pulling the carpet from under your feet and greatly complicates the French presence on the African continent. There is very little chance that French business will recover after losing two markets at once – Russian and African. We came to our senses following Iran’s exit, when the US forced France to freeze its investments there.”
Joining the conversation is Christine – an investment banker, the founder of banks in Casablanca and Rabat: “And you know, the Russians are breathing down our necks. All that they are now taking about in Africa is that Russia is making comeback. They are waiting for the Russians there.”
Her words are echoed by Sonia Dellal, vice president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Kenya in France (Chambre de commerce et d’industrie du Kenya).
“These sanctions are undermining the centuries-old reputation of French business. People are afraid; they look at us as if we were crazy, dangerous to make deals with, dangerous to trust money, dangerous to develop projects with. But we are ready to work with the Russians…” she says. Sonya.
Support for Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees, unprecedented in terms of media pressure, evokes in the memory of the French the massacre in the Congo, the bombing of Libya, the brutal murder of its legitimately elected leader, popular and beloved in Africa.
Says human rights activist Luc Michel: “Europeans are saying they are going to open a criminal case on Russia’s “crimes” against Ukraine, but the International Criminal Court has not yet opened an investigation into the massacres in Libya, Syria and the looting of African raw materials. We are told that Europe has eradicated racism, but today we see it flourishing everywhere. Doors are being opened wide for Ukrainians, the mayor of Paris, Hidalgo, promises to open a school for Ukrainian children, and refugees from Africa and the Middle East are still sitting in tent camps in Calais. The war in Yemen has been going on for seven years, with 340,000 victims already, and not a single demonstration in support of Yemen. Why are Yemenis worse than Ukrainians? Skin color? The French only pretended to be tolerant, they were and are racists!”
“Do you think Putin will stop?” Luke asks me and answers his own question. “No, he won’t stop, he will go all the way.”
+++++++
So, that’s what some African nations are saying, according to this article.
Thank you Taffy. That is interseting if unsuprising, but great to of hear those people speaking out, when doing so is often unwelcome & uncomfortable. Best wishes, Andrew.
“Lionel Zinsou also mentioned the Ukrainian crisis:”
Aside from Russian sites, I cannot find any source to prove that he actually said what the article claims he said. Here he sounds very differently:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73j_JEg9fW0
Nor can I find any proof that the author of the article Alessia Miloradovich actually exists.
“Industrial production has historically dominated comodities, ever since England subdued a quarter of the world as a result of the industriql revolution. But it did so because the industrial production created so much added value, real value, that they could fund a superiour military force. Thus the small island in the North Sea could subdue the subcontinent of India.”
Manufacturing and commodities are still important. The difference is that much of the commodities and manufacturing is no longer under Western control. In the name of neoliberal policies, the US/UK have hollowed out their industrial base, which has been offshored to the Far-East (that’s how the so-called “Dutch Disease” works in empires). Russia’s commodities and China’s manufacturing have accumulated huge wealth while the West is accumulating debt.
Yes but the economic war is also lost,
How to narrative the price of bread and heart, and truth.
“Whoever controls the narrative wins.”
Whenever I read claims such as that I’m reminded of Iain M Banks when he wrote about an “outside context problem”, which he describes as an unforeseen problem that civilizations run into in the same way that a blowfly runs into a car windscreen.
So “the west” can “control the narrative” all it wants, convincing itself that it is “winning” and then BAMMMM!!!! reality intrudes itself in the most unpleasant of ways.
So the Russian Army is a hopeless rabble, absolutely second-rate until BAMMM!!!!! you start a fight with Russia and can’t even remember hitting the deck.
So the sanctions are absolutely going to bring Putin to his knees and begging for mercy until BAMMM!!!!! your citizens are storming the Parliament complaining that they don’t have any food and their children are hungry.
So the streets of Bucha are strewn with the victims of Russian brutality until BAMMM!!!!! some resident of Bucha stands up in the Security Council and says “No, it was the Ukrainian Army, and I recorded it all on my mobile phone. See! Right there!”
So the Russians only have supplies and ammo for 14 days until BAMMM!!!! on Day Fifteen the Russian Army unleashed an artillery and missile barrage that takes everyone by surprise.
Outside context problem. It’s what happens when you go around looking to “control the narrative” rather than looking up to see the world as it is.
You’ve said it all.
See my note further below with a video link to Bucha. Perhaps real, perhaps not, but certainly deserving of more careful investigation by Russian authorities.
It ain’t over until the fat lady sings.
the information war is not aimed at Russia, it is aimed primarily at you, the west, so ‘winning it’ means nothing to Russia or Russians, all it means is that western people sink even deeper into cognitive dissonance. When it comes to a real war, western people will simply not be able to cope they can’t cope with reality now, all west is doing is creating the perfect conditions for total social collapse and military collapse should it come to that, in their own countries. The media war is a war on your own people, Russia lives in total reality, of deeds and consequences and makes plans accordingly, the west just goes on its merry way of myths and stories it tells itself about itself non of which are true. NATO but particularly US/UK who were the major players and instigators of this war have lost, humiliatingly and totally. NATO existed for 75 years for one reason and when that raison d’etre occured, they ran away, the US/UK flushed 6 years hard work and money down the drain and ran from the field like cowards. Everything after that has been a rearguard action in the information sphere to make a new narrative, but it only works partially because ultimately even all the anti Russian freaks and haters keep asking the same question, even those who are completely brainwashed, and that question is always “but why aren’t we going in!” “why don’t we set up a no fly zone?” and the answer, out here in the real world is, they can’t do anything because they’ve already lost the war and any further direct action will heap more humiliation on the Western military which will reveal the emporer has no clothes and western, but more to the point US military, is a paper tiger that no matter how much money it gouges out of its own population, will never win a major war again in its history and certainly has no chance against Russia. In seeking to cancel Russia it wants to pretend that it doesn’t exist – so as Saker says, if you can’t win the real war win the pretend one.
I agree, generally, but I think the question mark relates to how readily “the west” can be brainwashed by Davos. It’s a little annoying how people sometimes refer to the US as though the population here hasn’t been captured and marginalized by the perpetrators of the hostile takeover of the past few decades, which culminated in the coup of November 2020.
From where I sit, it doesn’t matter how many westerners are willing to mask up and follow the prevailing narrative in lockstep. Russia is breaking the old world order, and the global south, as it’s called, is gearing up to strike out on its own toward a multipolar world. How that will go is anyone’s guess, but what we’re seeing now is the desperation of the neo-cons and Davos who cannot adopt a new approach to try to solve a new problem.
What seems most likely is that the EU will enter a deep depression and the rest of the west will enter a period of dystopian autocracy to a greater or lesser extent. But I see no reason to assume that American resiliency will be less than, for example, Hungarian or Russian resiliency. Sooner or later, we will lick our wounds and join the real new world order and will be the better for it.
The very fact that you’re on this site shows that most people don’t pay attention to the “information war” you declare Russia has lost and are looking behind the curtain for the real truth. Ukraine is the firewall that needs to be exposed.
“The information war, like the military war in Ukraine is already over. And Russia has already lost it.”
—————————————————————————————————————————————
That’s what you’d like to be true, isn’t it?
Hate to disappoint you, but Russia has already won.
Lies only have a lasting effect on those who allow it on themselves.
Those who see the truth have opportunities to act economically, financially, socially to benefit themselves. They are not confounded.
“The truth is, Americans will end up getting hated by everyone. Even by their most unconditional allies. All the rigging that Americans do conceive is denied by events.”
Charles De Gaulle
Regarding the information war, the best weapons are the ones you do not use frequently.
I dunno, the “Syrian chemical weapons attack ZOMG!” is still repeated as if it were the gospel truth, not to mention the “Skripals were poisoned with the deadly novichok just because” allegations.
And those are only two examples to come off the top of my head.
Add MH-17; the incubator babies; Libyan soldiers scoffing Viagra … the lies and false flags have a very long half-life. The minds of the masses in the West are deeply conditioned with lies … and they will support their leaders in doing dangerous, stupid things again and again.
“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 much lesser degree, Serbia (not the people, of course, but the government which remains subservient to the Eurolemmings).”
Nail on head…
Countries who want to have their sovereignty back has to leave the EU. Free themselves from Lord Palpatine and the Sith.
It seems to me the Bucha massacre is a desperate attempt to get NATO involved, in the same way NATO did “humanitarian interventions” into Yugoslavia. It seems NATO, for now at least, has enough sober-minded generals at NATO HQ to (officially) keep its troops out of Ukraine.
Does Moscow have enough legal justifications to involve CSTO? If not, what else needs to happen before CSTO can get involved? Also, what are the chances of Moscow openly announcing major arms deals with China & Iran?
It’s not only Bucha, sound like the Zone A Untermensch are preparing for more staged massacres:
https://translate.yandex.ru/translate?url=https%3A%2F%2Fukraina.ru%2Fexclusive%2F20220407%2F1033711964.html&lang=ru-en
And a new series of provocations has already, I repeat, actually been announced. Now, for example, the “Borodyanka massacre” is already being promoted. Next in line are Irpen, Gostomel and other villages, cities and suburbs of Kiev, where Russian troops left.
I’ve noticed that our American yahoos (aka, the US Congress) have stopped yelling for a ‘no-fly zone’.
I think that some general finally got through to them that there is already a no-fly zone over Ukraine, which means that any NATO planes flying there would be shot down. There would be a demonstration that would boost sales of the S-400’s greatly. Prove to the world that you have a system that can keep Uncle Sam off your back, and the world will beat a path to your door bearing sacks of gold, real gold. Or, for that matter, whatever else you say you require.
Likewise, I think the EU generals finally got through to some heads just what a land combat in Russia would look like. Suddenly 500 troops in the Baltics doesn’t sound so powerful, and they look just like an Iskander target.
Of course, I’m sure the EU generals blamed the EU politicians for not showering the EU military with the continuous sacks of fiat money that the western militaries always demand, so the generals have a built-in scapegoat. And that’s true no matter how many sacks of gold are delivered to the generals, the generals can always claim that it wasn’t enough and its all your fault. That’s the problem with a system where everyone is out for themselves. It don’t work, and it always ends in the scapegoat game. Teamwork always beats individuals, and modern western society destroys teamwork at all costs because the biggest fear of the oligarchs is that people might learn to work together.
Personally, I find that VP’s ‘The Empire of Lies’ packs a better punch than ‘The Empire of Hate and Lies.’
The West has gone into full-bore institutional insanity. The US is no longer either a democracy or a representative republic but is morphing into a new type of State, namely:
a pathocracy.
After lording it over the world for too many decades it’s comeuppance time. The Empire of Lies is a Tower of Babel about to topple. Their hate, such as it is, will soon be turned inward after which, hopefully, a time for greater wisdom and compassion will slowly emerge.
‘Empire of Monsters’ IMO. The mindset that begins with hate and lies masquerading as democracy, frequently explodes into violent acts of genocide and destruction. We can only hope that it will be defeated by its own hubris.
How about Empire of Hate, Lies, Deceit & Trickery? – HLDT in the current mode of accronyms.
The Evil Empire
The Orc Empire.
Satan’s empire. Black mass media.
Excellent post. Agreed.
Well put Scorpion. The Empire of Lies does sound better. I hope you’re right about a time of greater wisdom and compassion. There is a spark of.human spirit that’s on the verge of being ignited and it can’t come soon enough.
The beginning of another ochlocracy – again as first recorded in ancient Athens.
Agreed. A thing oft repeated sticks, and is seen as true. VVP nailed it, and should own the credit.
Yeah, stick with “Empire of Lies.”
Putin is very good with language.
No need to gild the lily.
“Empire of Lies” is factual.
“Empire of Hate and Lies” blunts the impact and the point.
Because lying is the fundamental sin that leads to all others.
In regard to “desperate military provocation”:
It looks to me like the US is going to go all the way. I don’t see any alternative as they are absolutely incapable of rational thought and compassion, even for their own population. As Russia accumulates ever more evidence of the reality of Ukrainian war crimes (including the biological weapons labs) – fully abetted by NATO and the US – the only way to forestall the coming public humiliation of the west is by continually ratcheting up the war. Efforts to block the RF from the UNSC have failed (for the moment) while a move to expel the RF from the UN Human Rights Council is pending.
The US (and some of their EU puppets) continue to double and triple down on stupidity despite massive blowback against their own economies. Without a doubt the EU is over, with it goes NATO. The end game is coming. The only question is how much of the world is going to be destroyed in the process.
I think the U.S.’s plan a on the field at least is the miserably predictable one of dragging russia (and the poor ukrainian citizens) into a quagmire that wounds and drains russia of morale and resources
Completely agree. And then use its paid 5-6th columns inside RU to stage a nice little coup (as in Pakistan the other day) and very likely a civil war and final disintigration of Russia into several smaller countries. This is very real.
NATO has to be eliminated, whatever the cost. You can’t live with it, but you might just survive without it.
A NATO membership is in reality an American occupation by other words.
Fear not! Certainly, your world and mine, is stumbling not to extinction, but to change.
Look at the Himalayas. They shield the Mongols and the Turkics. The Seed of Chingis will live miserable lives. But they will live lives which they cherish. And they will think bountiful, not miserable.
Look at the vast arctic lowlands. The tundra will thaw and submerge; the coniferous forests will move very slowly northward to meet the slowly rising ocean. The Inuit, the Chukotki, the Nemetsi, the Sami, the Cree, and many other peoples neither of us has bothered to know, have lived and rejoiced life in “ice deserts”. They will learn to build different boats and fish different waters.
People from everywhere will fight and die to bequeath their grandchildren a hectare halfway up the mountains. The Kurds have held their mountains for at least 3500 years. The people of Xizang (Tibet) and Bolivia have loved their lands for thousands of years, where most humans cannot survive for long without oxygen tanks and weird drugs.
None of these people will miss cloned food and drinks, drugs, video games. But they will cherish their lives. They will not regret living.
Sure. You and I would be uncomfortable. If we choose to be uncomfortable. If we prefer to add another chapter to ‘Lamentations’.
If you want to be fulfilled, if you want to be successful, stop whining.
Breed strong, smart, confident sons. Breed strong, smart, confident daughters, who can attract other families’ strong, smart, confident sons, and carry strong, smart, confident babies.
(Sorry. Despite three millenia of really stupid propaganda, daughters are more important. Daughters carry the seed. Sons merely carry the pollen.) (er.. and assure that sons and daughters attract each other. Not sons attract sons, not daughters attract daughters.)
Yeah, yeah, I know. I have lived since almost the beginning of the “Atomic Age”. I saw/read the propaganda. I read ‘On the Beach’. Might have seen the hollywood. Sure! Big bombs, or many many medium bombs, can really mess up an anthill city. But the real damage is done when the helpless starving citizens scurry away from the city. (I almost wrote “citizen ants”; but ants know what to do, when the nest is destroyed, as long as they can find a “queen” to serve.) The real damage is done when you and I decide to give up. And even rage against the darkness of those we consider too stupid (evil) to give up and join our pity-party.
Certainly, there might be radioactive clouds, nuclear winter, american bio-weapons, no california raisins. Life might be really tough. But life is too stupid to give up. Only smart people give up.
I enjoyed your post very much.
I`m straight out retarded then…😁
Guess You have to have had some revolutions around the sun, to recognize certain patterns…
The U.S. will never get involved against a peer foe for a number of reasons, from military leadership which is lacking which we saw during Korea, Nam and the many gulf wars, they would have to institute a draft which would cause public unrest in a country already overflowing with it and of course the money to fight a major war which buys less every day. Perhaps the EU is stupid enough to tangle with the bear, but that won’t last long either and of course they’re no where the number brainwashed as some put forth, it’s only the media that so brainwashed the people not so much.
Buen Articulo, Andrei. Slava Rosiya.
Do you think that the current crisis can be solved without a war between the collective west and Russia?
By saying war I mean an actual shooting war.
I agree too. West behaviour is making a real war unavoidable.
Hope we all are wrong…
Well, we are already at war.
What you mean is a direct military clash
and no, I do not think that it can be avoided.
I hope it can, but I don’t see it.
I am unfortunately in complete agreement with you on this.
I also agree with your somber assessment. As I see it, it’s no longer a matter of “if” it will become catastrophic but “when.”
Not only when, but just how bad?
I hope I’m wrong, but I expect an all out nuclear war.
I hope you are wrong too. I think the collective western political class should be forced at gunpoint to sit through a single, above ground nuclear test of the “best” modern weapon… these imbeciles seem to have forgotten just with what they are meddling. Then after we have all watched their live broadcast, and the shock and terror on their smug psychopathic faces, the public debate can start again.
Respectfully, sir, I think we cannot discount the influence of greed upon the Empire. the Kakistocracy which is the US is intertwined with an oligarchy which absolutely has no motivation other than their own personal power and opulence. there is neither in a post-atomic landscape. I pray in His infinite wisdom that our God protects us all.
This madness actually has little or nothing to do with “greed…personal power and opulence”; this is a spiritual war. The evil empire hates and seeks to destroy Russia because evil cannot tolerate a good example..
Mr. Saker, with great respect, I am begging you, if it is possible that you could do an interview with Sheikh Imran Hosein, he looks good and healthy by the way since your last meet about 4 years ago. Thanks Andrei, stay safe and May God Always Protects you and your family.
The way I read the meaning of current events, they suggest that we are on an inexorable an irrevocable slide into the Big One.
My hope is that the Russian General Staff, geostrategic, intelligence and political establishments have factored into their calculations all the critical elements for a successful outcome. The fact that we are at the threshold of a great convulsion by a Russian initiative (open and declared intervention in the Ukraine) gives a strong indication that Russia is ready and willing to run the gauntlet of NATO provocations to the ultimate consequences up to a shooting war.
Perhaps the “realist faction” in the Kremlin has finally arrived to the acceptance of the notion that NATO is an intractable and remorseless enemy bent on destroying Russia at all costs except the destruction of the Hegemonland (US) and that means the destruction of Europe or, at least, its reduction to pissant status. After all, that was the plan all along since Monroe’s days and repeated again and again since then and why NATO was created, an expendable territory for the security of Hegemonland.
I’m afraid there will be a serious tit-for-tat escalation in the European theatre, probably why the Russian forces at work in the Ukraine are limited to a small scale operation while the bulk and, especially, the strategic forces, are ready for the main job of taking the war to the proximate enemy. Not necessarily a land war with huge armies a la WWII, but surgical strikes at the offensive sites and command centres to reduce them to insignificance and prevent them from harming Russian land.
I wonder whether VV Putin’s SMO was the bait to catch the big North Atlantic “whale”.
It’s the Russians as subhumans narrative per NATO exceptional politicians and military that poses the biggest danger.
It’s like the big shots won’t have dogs barking and babies crying, because they don’t make sense. They are subhuman. They don’t make sense.
Just saw Stoltenberg meeting covered by CBC, where he got to speak, but no counter narrative based on logical principles of jurisprudence or international law. No Russians allowed. No counter narrative for subhumans because they can only bark.
And they say they are not Nazis.
Ukraine claims Russia killed 400 people, but the number of actual massacre victims may be only about 20. There are at least seven different groups of victims; each needs to be investigated separately. The numbers for each group are approximate.
~67 defenders of Ukraine buried in a mass grave at a churchyard on March 12. This may include civilian “Volkssturm”, who were handed out weapons.
~10 suspected collaborators executed at a location that may have been responsible for distributing humanitarian aid.
~5 suspected collaborators executed in a cellar.
~20 civilians killed by shelling on Yabluska Street with bodies not recovered until April 2nd. NYT investigation says the bodies appeared on satellite images around March 11th and March 19th.
— 2 likely execution victims planted on Yabluska Street among the shelling victims. The two men may have been executed on site or the bodies may have been moved there.
— A family of three, a village head and her husband and son, allegedly executed by Russians.
— Two women give video testimony that their husbands were executed in a cleansing operation. On the Ukrainian videos the women say the men were executed by “Russians”, but other evidence indicates the cleansing operation happened after the Russians had left.
A already posted about the video testimony in the previous open thread.
There are a number of English language groups seriously investigating and debunking the Ukrainian claims. I have tried to collect the best analysis on my Bucha massacre. Also see the two blog posts on our Monitor on Massacre Marketing blog:
Also see this thread by Gleb Bazov.
new hoax seems being fanned
https://aftershock.news/?q=node/1092746
Kramatorsk town. A broken rusty “Tochka-A” missile is thrown to the lawn. Narrative is “Russia fired two (!) Iskander (!) missiles into human croud (invisible one) on railway station”
The key is for the rest of the world to becomes aware of the dollar fraud. The russian economy is showing its resilience for all to see. The rouble being backed by real stuff ie. Commodities vs the dollar -and euro- backed by thin air. This in time will prove crucial. This will form a powerful tandem together with the yuan and probably the rupee to attract more and more countries away from the dollar fraud.
This!!!
This is the real war front. Russia doing what other countries tried in the past – to break free from the US$ but they got blown back into the Stone Age for trying. The days of US$ prominence is done and the Empire of Lies can do nothing about it.
Another mention – it needs to be pointed out that in the West – much of what is transpiring is under the directive of the WEF – including Finland’s mulling to jump on board the Titanic just before the bow disappears under the waves. This organisation and subsequent partner organisations need to be taken care of. They are poison to humanity and nefarious.
Dr Malone has a list that is growing of the structure that is. The World Bank, IMF, Rome, D.C., City of London WEF, Brussels, Wall Street, Black Rock – To be free of these parasites.
Anyway, the Pentagram is aching for a long protracted war in Ukraine – may their dreams dash to pieces upon the rocks.
West is done, no questions about it. All sloven countries in EU (Hungary and Romania included) should be aware of what happens next. When there is nothing left for west to plunder, sloven countries in EU become logical target. West will eat them alive. When nothing to eat, cannibalism is not such a bad idea.
you are right!
It’s too late. These countries have already been pillaged and plundered.
Today we have the most expensive services, energy, fuel. We pay higher prices for lower quality food. the only thing they could still use us for is cannon fodder against Russia.
Honestly, how many people will be willing to die for the EU, for their bureaucrats, governments. For those puppets muppets?
Those who most call for war with Russia will never go to the front. A few useful idiots will be happy to go, but the rest?
West is already eating Romania alive. All resources, companies, industries, belongs to the neo-colonists: Germany, Austria, US, France, Italy etc. Land, everything. People 6 million out of the country to work qualified or unqualified jobs (more of these) abroad in Eu, as they need people to take care of their elders, to cultivate their lands etc. Also of doctors, ingeneers, it, but more unqualified work. In very bad conditions. We are close to a demografic crisis. The 1% in Romania is bigger, not just 1% and they take it all: we feel we have been taken hostages by a group of Mobs that take it all and give us nothing in return. Worse than Mafia, actually Mafia are good guys. they ask but they deliver what they promise. We are being ripped off and we don’t have security (human traffiking, most dangerous roads as people with money bribe and get away with everything, people burn in hospitals – our health system was ranked 99th in the world, so much more, people that worked their whole life with a meager pension while others go a few hours/day and have it all, there are many with 20 000 euro pension and they didnt actually worked). This is democracy in a collony.
My guess is that they wanted to take Russia too.
We the people most of us don’t buy the lies. Only between 7-12% maximum, the progressists, woke, we have them too of course. But they are everywhere and attack everyone.
We know they wanted to fight Russia also till the last Romanian, not only to the last Ukrainian, but they backed off because people said they will either flee or first take them down if they get weapons and then see what they will do with the Russians. Don’t get tricked by Mass Media: the only reason they backed off the plan in transfroming Romania into another Ukraine was the fact they knew Romanians will not fight Russians (most of them and also we don’t have Ukraine’s army). Because we know who the real enemy is!
There were videos with million views of people saying that they dont want to fight to protect the ones that stealed everything that will flee and return as heros after Romanians die. They after being thrown out of Romania as they had 0 chanches in having a living here and worked in the fields in Italy dont want to return and fight for the ones that sent them out of the country with their corruption (they wanted to make a law to ask any male 18-62 to fight, and given 15 days to the ones abroad to return but the draft bill was dropped off and canceled, as it was a too bigger scandal and they knew Romanians dont want to fight for them).
Also the trolls accused anybody that said neutrality of being paid by Putin, but this didnt stopped the people as now Social Media is like a bubble or bubbles, people see the things they react so the pregressist side is in their own bubble intersecting a little with the rest that are in a different bubble. We the rest are the majority.
But I am afraid of what they will do hungry and greedy. In Romania they will list the last company that is still state owned: Hidroelectrica. In order to maximise the profit of Proprietatea fund, investment fund, that is owned 90% by Americans, Templeton. So… this is for us: they steal everything that it is still out there. But we dream at the time when we will nationalise everything and hope is close.
I am so glad Russia is winning this war against the Evil. Because they are Evil.
I agree with your analysis that the US empire and its allies are desperate to change the narrative to maintain public support for their sanctions which are exacerbating inflation for ordinary people in the West. The US economy never really recovered from the 2008 financial crisis. The gigantic money printing of the Western Central Banks have greatly exacerbated income inequalities threatening social instability during the 2020s. Meanwhile, since 2008 the centre of global manufacturing has become even more consolidated in China. The ruling classes of the West have no solution to their grave social, economic and political problems. When all else fails they take you to war. After all war is merely a continuation of politics by other means.
The campaign in the West is working. I had a rather chilling experience a few days ago. I visited with a friend who introduced me to “ADBUSTERS” magazine which was devoted to exposing the methods used to mass market consumer goods and ideas. She has completely fallen for the narrative being pedalled. It is the images that have taken her past the point of no return and pointing out the numerous instances of faking and transposing images from other conflicts and even emergencies made no difference.
On the positive side, my covid skeptical circle of friends are seeing through the sea of bullshit with absolute clarity and are an island of sanity in that sea.
Thanks for your efforts, love Nightvisions sit reps.
People take a side. And that usually happens very fast. And then it is nearly impossible to change. That is the human condition. So sad. No modern society in our time, history is not over yet.
Hello Andrei,
Right on.
They have given Putin no option but to escalate.
I think he always knew where the Nazis were and who they were. His language is circumspect but watch his actions. The show-down with NATO stan will take place…whether it will be a long war of attrition or whether it will get hot even in the homeland is the issue.
Martin Armstrong also says we have crossed the Rubicon.
Maybe Putin should announce some easy route to naturalization for Russia sympathizers. Better to be on the side of the just, the true, and the normal, however it suffers, than to be on the side of the unjust, the false, and the pathological.
Oh no – by Gods mercy I am rigged for this. I will “stay behind” and help my neighbors navigate. They already know where I stand.
The Western ‘strategists’ are indeed losing it.
Why? Because in their blind pursuit of playing the Brzeszinski game they forgot that it’s outdated and couldn’t even fathom that Russia would then (have to) get ever closer with China, India&co.
This is why they are so shocked, panicking and losing it now, exacerbated by their illegal, stupid and mostly suicidal sanctions- they were too stupid to even contemplate the de-dollarizationas as a consequence of them.
Obviously, the ruble4gas masterstroke and subsequent quick recovery of the ruble tipped them further over the edge and the fear of domestic unrest and losing elections because of those brewing and upcoming domestic economic troubles now is also creeping in.
I short, the Western strategists and politicians are now in full panic mode, and that is the real danger for the world now.
Don’t assume that US politicians are in control of this, they are just shills for the “strategists” who run things through the intelligence agencies. This is the shadow government: unelected, black budget, without oversight. Most of the people who work there are not government employees but civilian contractors, and you know where their loyalties lie.
“the fear of domestic unrest and losing elections because of those brewing and upcoming domestic economic troubles now is also creeping in.”
Watch Biden get thrown under the bus, and Obama reappear. He already has. Time to bring out the big guns….
1. agreed. zbig – along with kissinger – is a ghoulish spectre haunting US policy. kissinger just doesn’t realize he’s a corpse yet. also: neither has ever seen combat and kissinger supposedly called soldiers dumb grunts to be used as cannon fodder.
2. threats to the dollar make these already sociopathic twats go full patrick bateman. just ask libya. all they have is brute force and the moronic reserve currency smoke and mirrors. take that away and it’s wounded animal time.
The Bucha false flag and hype were too loud to be merely an excuse to sanction more Russian stuff; there’s the implicit rallying call, “we need to do something to stop Russia before it’s too late”, basically before they lose the ground forces they’ve been building up in Ukraine for at least 7 years. They will try to break the encirclement, or even go in with ground forces.
Why did the Russians abandon positions around Kiev. Logic says because they were unsustainable – forward positions too deep in enemy territory that can’t be sustained if the enemy gets reinforcements. It’s not because they needed the forces in Donbass; those forces will go back to Russia to be rested anyway, and new and fresh forces from Russia will reinforce the Donbass cauldron. I think they are regrouping in anticipation of something that hasn’t happened yet, but is coming.
Saker, good angle you have in beginning. These false flags are probably awkward and stupid on purpose. When Zone A public makes huge cognitive effort to believe this nonsense (because they want to show they accept elite narrative) it is as if something is irretrievably broken in them. They will then keep on believing greater and greater stupidity, because there is no turning back. You can’t admit to yourself that what you believe is just pack of lied. Informal mind control of this variety is even worse for educated ones.
Russia is 5 steps ahead of the west the war was over in ukraine on the first day
NATO will not cross over into direct conflict with Russia/China
hypersonic advantage neutrualized US navel force projection
even pentagon admits Russia’s war very efficent and sucessful {Ukrain never had a chance}
US plan to demonize Russia was/is the plan for the control of it’s own serfs{external threat to unite in shared hatred{fear}
Reality is the greatest show on earth where Truth wars against Lies
now the good news
“All Power and Authority both in heaven and earth have been given unto me Go ye threreforeand make disiples”
The most powerful weapons the collective West have in thier armouries are not missiles, bombs, or nukes, or secret AI drones, or bio-weapons, or anything of that nature.
The most powerful weapons the collective West have are the US Dollar, the EU Euro, and the UK Pound (in that order). With these currency units – which are literally created out of thin air in the case of digital units, the collective West have the ability to buy the rest of the World (effectively for nothing as they print those currency units in unlimited quanties and when theier is not enough paper to print them on simply create a digital entry).
Their paper (and increasingly etherial digits on a screen) travel around the World from computer to computer (in banks, businesses, homes, etc) via the systems they control.
Simply take away these weapons – or reveal them to be the pieces of paper they are or the digits on a screen which in themselves have no value other than “faith”, and you take away all of thier power.
This is what the classic movie “The Wizard of Oz” was really about – the yellow brick road (Gold standard), Silver slippers (real money – although replaced by Ruby slippers in the movie), the farmers (straw man), heavy industry (tin man), the people and politicians (lion) etc. The all powerful Wizard (money masters) revealed to be just an old man hiding behind a machine (technocrats like Klaus Schwab) pulling the levers of power.
Russia and China have exposed the man behind the curtain and have now exposed the US Dollar, The EU Euro, the UK Pound, and thier Swift and financial “markets” to be complete shams backed only by bribes, force, and threat of war.
The empire of lies is an esoteric term – for the “Father of Lies” is Satan himself.
Russia calling out the West as the empire of lies is revealing that they know they are of Satan (as Iran has been warning for decades) and that, like the man behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz, will be seen by all to be a fraud, an illusion, powerless in the face of real truth.
The coming economic collapse in the West will be hell for many people – especially the old, weak, ill, and poor. Deagel Projection 2025 suggests millions will die during this period – not from war but from the effects of poverty, including starvation.
Prepare accordingly for the collapse of the west, because it is happening now, and we are living through it.
Taking away the economic weapon leaves them with whatever is left, in this case nukes.
That’s all they’ve got. The question is will they use them. The increasing frequency and severity of false flags is not encouraging.
America is a unipolar superpower governed by octogenarians who work for corporations and banks where military weapons are made by prison slaves to be launched at impoverished foreigners while celebrities attend lavish galas and police guard food in dumpsters from the homeless.
If Australia were to pivot its loyalty from Washington to Beijing, western media would suddenly take an interest in Aboriginal human rights and news cycles would be flooded with stories about the need for blockades to punish the Canberra regime for its brutal lockdown oppression.
The worst thing about Australia is America.
US domestic politics is now simple – stop the opposing party doing anything other than benefitting the War Party (and Israel).
Anyone going to MSM outlets for “facts” is basically someone wanting r. kelly to babysit their daughter.
If the US military is weakened to the point of being ineffective it will eventually lead to a run on the dollar as the only thing propping the dollar up at this point is the full might of the US military.
There are other factors, being “backed by aircraft carriers” was the last stage (after being backed by gold and then oil).
Precisely articulated.
The real power of the Evil Empire comes from paper money, the Dollar, Pound and Euro. All the economic and military comes from this monetary system. Kill the Dollar and the beast will get provoked and he will do everything to defend his currency superiority. But kill the Dollar at all cost.
Americans don’t rule America nor do Europeans rule Europe. The real rulers are the elite deep state that reigns through proxy.
Surprisingly, the Zionist/Jewish hand behind all of these doesn’t get highlighted by many. The key lies in Israel and other Zionist strongholds like the London Inner City, Washington DC, etc. These , along with Rothschild and Rockefeller assets should be prime targets if and when this SMO evolves into a wide scale war.
looks like TOS-1* has been used in Mariupol
https://t.me/groupzarya/8080
I maybe wrong. Yet i feel that another aspect of the False flag intensity is that to cover up the high value western targets being military officersthat are caught in the Mariopol trap.
That this is a major embarrasment to the wests narative and of their neutrality in this conflict. Dare i say being that it is as close to Nato at war with Russia.
that could well be the case
they sent another 2 helicopters to evacuate some big shots to Mariupol again
both were shot down.
that FIVE helos sacrificed to get some big shots out.
we might never find out, at least 3 crashed at sea (iirc)
Chatter is saying that a very high ranking American officer is being held by the Russians. That this is causing great discourse within the Empire. If so ouch.
It adds further what really was their intent. That the rapid Russian incursion was not anticipated
Let’s assume that’s true. That would be an extremely valuable ‘card’ to play for the Russians. But they haven’t addressed the rumors let alone confirmed it. They’ve done nothing with it. Or have they?
One of the things that stands put the most on a political level with regards to the Bucha incident, is the persistent refusal of the Pentagon to assign blame on Russia. They keep coming up with these non-committal statements. Why?
Could it be that if they ‘play nice’, they will get their general back, after the war, and no one needs to know he was in Mariupol?
As much as I would like to see the guy stand trial for his role in the crimes perpetrated in the Donbass, I would like it even more if the Russians use him to gain significant advantages in the current conflict.
Also, there’s also a rumor going around that there’s a good reason why these western advisors didn’t leave the city in time; the Ukrainians (Azov in particular) didn’t let them.
“They keep coming up with these non-committal statements”
” Why?”
A process not an event.
A component but not the full analysis.
They have notions of the outcomes of politicians and are initially interested in damage limitation/self-preservation.
That was also the case with some who met in 1969 in “The Soviet Union” to discuss whether and initially how, “The Soviet Union” should be transcended.
A potential emulation/illustration of Mr. Mearscheimer’s and Mr.Cohen’s notions known to some as convergance theory which informed detente in the 1970’s.
Why not simply calling them what they are; the Empire of Evil?
The term “Empire of Lies” is an esoteric term intended for the ears of those familiar with warnings giving in the Abrahamic faiths and Holy Books.
For example Satan himself is known as “The Father of Lies”.
The most quoted reference comes from the Bible, Book of John 8:44 –
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
The Iranians also refer to the US as “The Great Shaytan / Satan” – aka “the deciever”.
PS,
Further esoteric references to the Satanic west are found in thier signs and symbols.
For example the symbol of the EU is supposed to be Europa on a bull but is actually the whore of Babylon, and the EU parliament is styled on Brueghels painting of the tower of Babel. Also, the coats of arms of the British Crown are exact matches for the Beasts of revelation, and the US Eagle and Obelisk symbols (including the real ancient Eygyptian Washington monument and pentagram grids of Washington DC) are referneces to the pre-Abrahamic religions of Baal worship (symbol the Bull, aka golden “calf”).
The planned electronic currency of the West and the biometric IDs to go with it are leading straight to the so called “Mark of the Beast” – where no man may buy nor sell without it:
“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”
Revelation 13, verses 16-18 (KJV).
many do…the axis of evil vs the axis of resistance however putin tempers his speech to ensure the point is never lost in the thrust. indeed it is the axis of evil, iran & nasrallah have nailed it. the axis of evil has succeeded only in mesmerizing its serfs/goys/cattle to such a stunned state they can no longer distinguish truth or god or light & will utterly believe night is day. this is the axis of resistance only victory. yes, the battle has begun & it will be biblical & the axis of resistance will win…light over dark, truth over evil…& what we must do is to never lose faith, & to always hold ascendence & truth in our heart, mind & soul & know we shall win. the world shall be saved. the axis of evil is not going to die willingly, it will fight like the cornered rat it is. we may die, we certainly stand to lose everything, that is not the principal concern…holding the faith is our weapon & that we must never let go of. putin, lavrov, soigu, patrushev, know this is what it is all about…just as nasrallah knows. blessings be upon russia & her courage. blessings be upon the entire axis of resistance, for lebanon, syria, iran, china all know their part, their day will come.
Hey guys
sharing here John Michael Greer’s latest post, he is usually outside of the Sakers rage of topics, but he holds some quite consistent views with regards to civilizations and their decline. The Saker actually highlighted and reviewed one of his books once (Twilight’s last gleaming).. and this this latest piece is great, highly recommend it
https://www.ecosophia.net/the-end-of-the-european-age/
“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.”
Point by western standards is: You have to PUBLICLY humiliate and crush the Bully to stop him from bulling ever again. Between Country’s and Nations that means plain War. And until Russia gets this, this thing isn’t over. So Russia have to CRUSH the Empire of lies in every conceivable way, militarily, economically, social. And yes they have to do it with a broad stroke. Every Westerner have to be ashamed to be Westerner to make this stop. Like they did with Germany after WWII.
+1000
Agree wholeheartedly.
These psychopaths only understand brute force, nothing else will make them cease their killing fields.
Checkmating them as Russia has been doing is not enough. There will be provocation after provocation, false flag after false flag, each becoming greater in magnitude.
Putin’s instruction to Shoigu must be to contact US military and inform them that their next false flag, provocation will be met with unparalleled strikes on NATO infrastructure in Europe. US bases in Poland and Romania will be struck first.
America has declared WAR, Russians are dying but not Americans. Only when Western Europeans and Americans begin dying shall Russia see Peace.
Always been a fan of the Philip Dick formulation: The Empire that Never Ended. It emphasizes it’s Satanic/Anti-Christian foundation. But Empire of Lies works too. It’s not like anyone’s going to be confused what you’re talking about.
Thank you for the article, it makes a lot of sense.
One thing not discussed was the actually strength of the West. They are basically weak. Leadership operated in an overwhelmingly powerful position in the past and as Andrei pointed out, that is all gone. So, they are doing things, usuing the same old methods, in a completely new environment.That ain´t going to fly very well or for long.
The tough guys they actually depend on ( I was part of that class ), who do all of the actual difficult and dirty work has been almost completely discarded ( woke ). Hard to believe at face value but, they are actually moving forward with very light backup ( the pink pussy hat regiment ) and that will melt away in the first actual collision, as we are seeing in Ukraine. They have substituted ruthless and well trained Marines, who were prepared from the get go to fight and if necessary to die in combat against ANYBODY, for the miniature yappers at LGBT HQ. You just roll your eyes when ya think about it.
So yeah, I agree with Andrei that they are going to go for it. But this is not the 1980s. They are going in way too light. Look at what is happening to President Biden if you don´t believe me. The bubble has popped.

I wish well to all.
From NL, awareness is picking up in the EU, we civilians start to see how we are fu**ed by the narcist who run the west. It’s good to suffer (we will in the EU, inflation horror is now 11%) only way to wake up and clean ship. Still I think it’s a long game, intermetso SO UKR… Germany, Russia and China playing the US. Politics is theater, policy is planned decades ago. Germans want US out and have their position in Eurasia… How to play? Why build NS2 when you know this was coming?
Maybe, just maybe, the Collective Western so called ‘leadership’ is only now realizing, to their sick horror, that the SMO in Ukraine is not about Ukraine at all, but only the beginning of a global operation by Russia (and China) that has launched the total takedown of the ‘rules based international order’ that drives US/UK and it’s EU Vassal State’s exploitative, centuries old imperialism and hegemonic psychopathy.
You only need to read hysterical western media narratives to see that this reality is slowly sinking in, and the sense of fear and terror that they are about to lose their undeserved privileges is palpable.
Derrotado económicamente, militarmente y culturalmente a Occidente sólo le queda la práctica del onanismo mediático y a eso se entrega ahora con la pasión de un mandril.
Nobody can cancel RUSSIA, they tried it before, and we know how it ended.
If they go to far down this road, militarization could cancel the entire world with nuclear weapons.
The rules based international order doesn’t have a clue about all the old Cold War rules for avoiding a nuclear war.
As far as I am concerned, no one cancels Russia, China, India, Pakistan or even the USA or Canada, but that’s no guarantee they can’t do it to each other.
The unity and even the abstentions we see are great progress between these nations who seem to all agree that ostracism is not the answer.
The USA and Canadian proposals of ostracism are a negative trend but the positive trend is greater. Trouble is all the dirty tricks in the book could then come out. At least it’s not boring. The end of the world might also be not boring, but it would be relatively short and final.
Los Sith, solamente se eliminaron entre ellos, primero la Batalla de Ruusan, luego Darth Vader a Palpatine, por último, en la Era Legado, un Sith del One Sith, de Darth Krayt, los traicionó, queriendo restaurar la Regla de Dos, un Maestro, un Aprendiz.
Esto que he escrito, fue en el antiguo Canon de Star Wars, Disney lo eliminó, por ser muy incómodo, había lucha por la libertad, contra la opresión, héroes, personas muy poderosas o normales que se sacrifican por los demás, no todos los buenos eran muy buenos y los malos, eran tan malos. Ahora te dicen que no seas un héroe, que seas una víctima, la víctima es algo o alguien a quién emular, imitar, no necesitas tener cualidades, tanto fisicas como mentales para luchar, seguir adelante, conseguir lo que quieres, tanto si eres bueno o malo. ¡Soy una Víctima, me deben respeto!
Por ello denigran todo aquello que sea heroico, destruyen a los héroes en la ficción, tanto mitológicos o de cómic, no quieren referentes, no quieren una brújula moral para las personas.
Por ello lo corrompen y lo destruyen y además, ¡quieren ganar dinero con ello!
The Sith only eliminated each other, first the Battle of Ruusan, then Darth Vader to Palpatine, finally, in the Legacy Era, a Sith of the One Sith, Darth Krayt, betrayed them, wanting to restore the Rule of Two, a Master, an Apprentice.
This that I have written, was in the old Star Wars Canon, Disney eliminated it, because it was very uncomfortable, there was a fight for freedom, against oppression, heroes, very powerful or normal people who sacrifice themselves for others, not all The good ones were very good and the bad ones were so bad. Now they tell you not to be a hero, to be a victim, the victim is something or someone to emulate, imitate, you don’t need to have qualities, both physical and mental to fight, move on, get what you want, whether you’re good or bad. I am a Victim, you owe me respect!
That is why they denigrate everything that is heroic, they destroy the heroes in fiction, both mythological or comic, they do not want references, they do not want a moral compass for people.
That’s why they corrupt and destroy it and besides, they want to make money with it!
These posts by the Saker and PCR are starting to wear on me. Now I have lived in the US all my life. That’s 56 years. So I get propaganda. But I also know that propaganda doesn’t win wars. If it did Germany would have won WWII. And the US would have won Viet Nam and Afghanistan. But that didn’t happen.
It is clear that Russia is making a clean break from the west. A break long overdue but perhaps it takes outrageous actions (from the west) to show the general population its time for a new course. It sure seems that China and India are on board. However, it is interesting that it is always Russia that needs to stand-up and say we can’t go on like this anymore. I could go on for awhile why that is but the results (from war ) are the only thing that will be remembered. China and India will ascend while the collective west will do the opposite.
As for Russia she will get a reprieve until the next challenge. It’s inescapable, they are always in the middle of where the action is. And they always rise to the occasion. And it always costs them dearly.
So as for me, I’ll keep tabs on the military operation but I know who will win. Although the war is interesting and heartbreaking the bigger picture is how the new correlation of forces will align. Sorry I don’t have it in me to say the new world order. But there will be a new order for our world and that’s what this is all about.
These posts by the Saker and PCR are starting to wear on me
I am sorry, but I don’t see any similarity between my analysis and his.
okay, maybe we are both bad :-)
but please don’t lump my position with his!
The similarity, I would say, is that both of you point out shortcomings (to be hyper-diplomatic) in the way the USA/West operate. This realization could be very disturbing for someone suddenly coming to that realization.
Yes the EU is brown nosing the US. Yes the EU has no independent foreign diplomacy. But what else to expect ?
The US has placed it’s puppets everywhere it counts. And no need to say ” a country deserves it’s leaders”, because they are not in place by means of a democratic process… no, these politicians are imposed on us. The supranational elites of the european commission are not elected and they trump any national assembly whenever they want to.And even national elections are a sinister joke. There is no representation of the people, no plurality of the media, no balance of power between state and justice.
Europe is over run by american “culture”, language, junk food, concerns ( like why should we care in France who wins the superbowl ?) and dumb TV shows straight from the US.
It’s pathetic.
Incredible analysys!
I think the 1%ers see themselves as sovereigns of the planet and want to totally feudalize it. In their eyes, Russia has commited Lesé-Majesté, for asserting her independence.
In my view, the contemporary nazis, and even to some extent their forebears will be greatly rehabilitated and glamourized, specially for their utility as shock troops for use in the highly probably social unrests caused by the catastrophic effects, in Zone A, of the sanctions warfare against Russia.
It’s now obvious that the SMO will take time, nevertheless I hope that it could succeed as soon as possible, cause now every non-nazi civilian in the ukro controlled territory is a hostage that can be killed or worse at any moment.
The EHL (Empire of Hate and Lies) perceives as innegotiable their dreams of total dominance, and for Russia, and maybe other nations of Zone B, the war is existential as it has been stated here several times. It looks that all of 2022 will be a huge stormy year.
Saker, sincere thanks for all of your efforts in behalf of truth.
Bucha signals two things to me: One, the Evil Empire is losing, and losing badly, in this particular contest in the Ukraine and the economic domain; desperation is creeping in and being expressed in more and more outlandish propaganda schemes. Two, related to the imminent loss, the Empire is fighting a rearguard action in the unravelling of its biowarfare efforts involving the Biden crime family in the Ukraine.
Bucha, or something similar in another town, could have been staged in the early part of the SMO. Towns and cities were changing hands then but the world was not presented with dramatic reports of RF ‘atrocities’ four weeks ago — the effect would have been greater if ‘atrocities’ appeared as the world recoiled from the shock of the commencement of the SMO.
There is no more mention of the Empire’s biolabs in the media. The most important piece of information unearthed in the SMO, plans for a WMD, plans for an atrocity — a thousand times greater than Bucha — in the making, has been buried.
I am amazed that some people spend an inordinate amount of effort — time and again –debunking an obvious and patent lie when instead they should be focussing on a matter that exposes the presence of a real Evil in the Empire, — plans for the employment of an ethnic-based bioweapon; a matter that can possibly change the regime in the US, and rouse the RoW’s ire towards the Empire.
I am glad someone brought up the bio weapon labs. This was an important aspect of the Bucha multi-purpose narrative.
The British Presidency of the UNSC delayed the meeting for 2 days on Bucha. This was all about timing.
Today, Russia’s MOD presented to the UN all the bio weapon lab facts and information they had discovered in Ukraine. It showed all the biolabs globally but had very little coverage in the media. The US and UK didn’t even attend the meeting!
Bucha removed this whole episode off the information space. The UK having the UNSC meeting yesterday on Ukraine/Bucha (day before Russia’s presentation on biolabs) had all the focus on the false narrative about Russia (“look over here”) and starting the process to remove it from the UN Human Rights body. It was also done to damage the reputation of the Russian MOD/Army.
I am therefore not surprised the whole issue about the biolabs has been removed from the public eye. Lies and deceit/ smoke and mirrors.
Aye, V.
The West is actively developing bioweapons; so I’m not at all surprised that the US and UK skipped the MoD briefing.
These weapons involve real nasty bugs causing diseases including the plague, leptospirosis, bird flu (60% case fatality rate according to WHO) and Congo-Crimean haemorrhagic fever (40% CFR).
One fact, perhaps overlooked, in the reports of the RF CBRN Defence chief about the seized documents from the Ukraine’s biolabs is that the Ukrainian scientists involved in the labs in Kiev, Kharkov, Odessa, Lvov, were probably kept out of the loop. They’d sent biological samples to Germany, UK, Georgia (R Lugar Centre, Tbilisi) without being aware of the real purpose of the samples. Although skilled, they were lowly paid, an indication of the low regard the Americans had for the Ukrainians. Americans regarded most peoples/nationalities as lowly — in 2010 Obama acknowledged ‘studies’ that involved infecting Guatemalans with gonorrhoea and syphilis. When found out, Obama expressed no remorse, just an apology.
One interesting press briefing by Russian First Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Dmitry Polyanskiy regarding American biolabs in Ukraine in which he names names and also alludes to the chemical false flag planned for Kharkov region:
‘We recently distributed a new letter among the Security Council where we draw attention to the new information provided by Russian Ministry of Defense, notably that Ukrainian nationalists continue to plot chemical provocations, and that they are up to blowing up railway tanks containing up to 800 tons of chlorine which are stationed in Kochetok settlement 15 km northwest of Chuhuiv city in Kharkov Region. It could lead to a very big catastrophe, contamination of an area with an 8 km radius…’

I’m sure you’re very much aware of statements on the bioweapons put out by RF MoD and MFA; these links are for those who want to refresh their memories.

No it doesn’t work like that. You refuse to know why propaganda exists. Propaganda to vilify the enemy is not a sign of losing badly or desparation. Propaganda is effective anytime and good all throughout the war. Just because the effect would have been greater if this or that does not mean that that propaganda is out of desperation.
this comment has been flagged as of little/no value (possibly troll) by the saker
“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.”
How is it possible that Russia is trying still to negotiate after this?
“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 :-)”
and
“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.”
All warfare is based on deception.
It appears to me that the US/NATO understands that they cannot hope to engage Russia militarily and survive but still thinks it can drag Russia into a swamp and force it into another Afghanistan which will (in Zone A’s best case scenario) end in regime change. But I don’t think they see that ship has sailed. As much as I hate to say this (as I live in America and have family/friends here) I wonder if the best thing for everyone, long-term, (all over the world) will be a complete economic collapse and hyperinflation for the West – the kind of collapse that splits America and Europe into autonomous regions and ends the experiment of the USA and the EU. That will be ugly, but I can’t see the “leadership” stopping what they’re doing or coming to their senses otherwise.
I hope I’m wrong and that it ends better than that, but I have trouble seeing how it could, given what the West has become.
Don’t be ashamed of it, Andrew. The truth is that the west will absolutely have to totally collapse before we can claw our way out of this mess.
Shake the masses out of their comfort zones. Get them to unite together as one. Then finally put an end to this God-forsaken hellish nightmare once and for all.
We should all be preparing now, because it’s coming.
Hard to believe it comes down to backing a third-rate junkie comedian reading a CIA script, but I’m pretty much convinced it is going to be WW3, by design of the deep state. If they can’t have all the chips, they will burn down the casino. I’ve had my boyhood, but I despair for my baby grandchildren.
imo: Bucha was a news cover for the Ukrainian armed enforces torture of Russian pow’s. MH17 was a Ukie/Israeli oligarch news cover for Israeli’s Operation Protective Edge.
just hope that those nice Chinese folks don’t want DoodleDandy’s money too much. Let the almighty Yankee dollar be just more recyclable toilet paper
The Bucha story also drives the laptop from hell and its implications for the US president’s conflicts of interest off the front page.
Biden clearly has a *personal* conflict of interest in pushing this war and deflecting attention from his familiy’s doings in Unkraine and, obviously, retaining the power to cover it up.
It seems absurd that a such a venal thing could end up pushing the world into WW3.
In the past, plenty of poisonous personal relationships between monarchs caused wars.
It seems like the same is possible today, in the USA, when you have such disgusting corruption at the top. If Biden had any integrity or sense of honor he would have refused the presidential candidacy because he would have known that his conflicts of interests and the fifth-rate shenanigans of his son could not stay hidden forever, and would pose a danger to his legitimacy. Could provoke a crisis in the national government.
But Biden is scumbag, and that is probably why his son Hunter is also a scumbag.
Neither one has any sense of decency or honor. And because of these slobs the world is on the brink of catastrophe.
The false flag succeeded only in the sense that it happened and was propagandised as such in the West.
But in all other respects it was a failure, if one distinguishes the process from the outcome.
The real outcome is that the collective West and Europe in particular, have further sanctioned themselves and all but confirmed their economic collapse – and political and societal collapse which will follow. Russia (and the collective East will be stronger).
The main thing I disagree with here is the 1%ers. I would say it is more like the 0.001%ers so more like 10 thousand than 10 million.
Yes, there’s nothing inherently wrong with being in one percent if they’ve acquired their wealth through the free market and voluntary exchange and interaction. Note, that doesn’t include government contractors and especially not weapons manufacturers.
Let’s explicitly identify most of the people: the military industrial complex, their think tanks and propagandists, corporate media, the permanent government (e.g. Pentagon, CIA, etc.), elected officials who benefit from war.
well said dear Saker, well said. One of your best. Succinct review of our current state, the evolving psychological profile of the two protagonists, before they enter Phase 2.
“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.”
I would add, as either an adjunct of the above quote or a separate leading reason for the Bucha FF:
To get the Eurolemmings to commit to their suicide. Zone A is not united. USUK wants to live a little longer at the EU’s expense.. to cull most and take what remains of their savings..
It is not only about evicting Russia, but to get Europe to grit their teeth as all fuel and food are withdrawn. It is truly historic the catastrophe which has been unleashed and which will see unbearable suffering in the near term. For example, no gas has flown through the pipes to Germany since April 1… What is happening is reminiscent of ancient eras, where when a sovereign died, a bonfire would be lit and his closest burned with him, or buried with him, or killed along with him. It is sad to see
There is absolutely nothing new here, other than being silly enough to try the same old tricks on Russia.
The desired end game is to expel RF and later China from the UN.
Had to be expected.
Big question if that will work now.
WW3 is not the endgame but breaking EU/Europe.
Martyanov made an important point in his latest video yesterday.
He said something to the effect that the European model of liberal democracy is now carried forward
by Russia. Correct. Financialization has ruined it in the west.
At 58 I finally understand that it really is all about the lies. My enemy lies constantly – bald-faced lies, hiding the truth, weaving falsehoods with partial truths, and endless variations. By Way of Deception Thou Shalt Do War is no mistake, it is the way of life for all of them.
Russia should ignore all the psyops, for it is a cesspool of lies, and it is impossible to participate without lies. You cannot win in a game of lies with the truth. If you have moral limits you will lose, because they will always be willing to go lower than you will. Rather, stick with the truth and ignore the liars. In the end there only the truth will remain.
And then you have these idiots ( not in government) desperate for virtue signaling and lying about the Russians and the Westerners lap it up.

Victor Orban is the de facto leader of Europe. He’s the only leader willing to stand up for European interests. EU hates Europe and wants to destroy everything Europe ever was or is.
The latest Russian war crime has to be added to the previous Russian and Syrian atrocities and a new video made.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyAom8aDgGo
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.
Is it safe to assume Russian surveillance satellites, drones, and on-the-ground intelligence units can develop an accurate map of these weapons convoy’s final destination? If so, would it not be better to launch air & missile strikes on these warehouses/storage areas? I am thinking it is pretty hard to hide a shipment of T-72s, heavy artillery, or Patriot missiles.
Thank you for this comprehensive and in my opinion, accurate portrayal of the Bucha massacre, its purpose, and Where We Stand Now.
Where we differ is in the How Will It All End? category.
My view from NYC is that the USA is looking for Victories-Real or Imaginary—It does not matter.
The USA wants to declare a few wins and then allow the public to go back to sleep. This is already happening, believe it or not.
The late night comedians have ceased their nightly spewing of support for Ukraine, Putin is Bad narrative and have gone on to other things.
The newspapers have resumed covering local matters and the War coverage is slipping away, consigned to a few paragraphs on page 15 or so.
The NY Times has ceased its breathless lies and fake maps and while still lying and covering the War, seems less excited. I expect this diminishing to increase.
When the War has slipped far enough away from the front pages and few people are talking about it, the USA involvement will pull back.
The USA is still Illegally in Syria. Defeat was never announced and one day, just like Afghanistan, the US will be gone. Russia, obviously triumphed and the US fought fiercely against Tartus and Latakia, but somewhat under our radar. Very few Americans know or care what Tartus and Latakia are and their global importance.
Therefore, in a feeling of optimism, my prediction is that there will be no nuclear conflict.
After all, the USA knows what losing feels like. We have been doing it for years.
Good insights. From Cuckedistan to your north, I have noticed less heavy cycled propaganda on 404. The regime here is heavily vested with Orcophiles. Still running ads on classic rock stations asking for money to buy ‘body armour, and weapons’ talk about spoiling the mood, but yes, less garbage. The cycle seemed to abate here after Field Marshall Dress Up spoke to Europe and Europe spoke back….cucked his dictator ass. Stealing people’s money will not go down well here…..
Positive signs though that the caravan is moving on…
Cheers M
Vicki: Interesting.
Today I noticed that Hunter’s laptop took up the whole front page of the NY Post.
Of course the post has a dog in the laptop fight.
Still, people leaving the supermarket (and most everyone shops at our local smallish Stop & Shop; used to be A&P) can hardly miss it in the newspaper stand right next to the exit.
So Joe Biden is about to get pushed out, it looks like. Question: what is his successor (Harris, Obama, Mrs. Obama, Hillary?) going to do about Vladimir Hitler? I don’t know if I should be scared or laughing already.
“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”.
This is the crux of the matter.
They prey on us.
I might disagree that the at the top of the heap the figure is 20 million. it might be in the thousands. If we cover our ears and pull back the curtain we might be surprised at how puny they are. But they sure make a din.
“It is not just Banderastan which 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.”
Absolutely. Another version of this question might be Jesus being asked “How do we get rid of evil”
Didn’t he say “If you follow me you will be persecuted”?
Goodness always looks like it’s about to be exterminated by the racket and hell the satanists make but never quite is.
I believe a global awakening is taking place. Each provocation by the satanists raises awareness in more people.
Hasn’t the long standing facade of “liberal democracy” been torn away and the true nature of the evil that governs us been revealed in recent times? Isn’t that a step forward ?
A lot of people now are wondering why our governments are supporting out and out nazis.
God wins but maybe first come tribulations. This might be that time.
And your role here might be running this site which is a massive contribution to the truth effort.
My own personal opinion is that President Putin is being helped and guided, in fact I am sure of it.
But we should not leave all the heavy lifting to Russia.
I’ve also wondered about the numbers of the 0.001% (1% is simply too high a figure) and figured it’s in the several thousand range at most.
Add in their useful idiots and that might take the number into a low few millions. That’s a few millions versus 7.2 billion people. I’ve heard it said on several occasions that all it takes is 15% of a population to make something happen.
Sadly in the US even before the Covid scam and now the Ukraine situation that number wasn’t there and now I’d surmise that it’s gone down a lot further. Godspeed Russia, China, Iran, India, Venezuela, Syria, Pakistan and all the rest who seek what Lavrov refers to as the ‘Fair World Order’.
Andrei writes: “It is the ONLY thing that Empire knows to do very well: hate and lie.”
Jesus says to the people who hate (murder) and lie:
You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. – John 8:44 (NKJV)
Conclusion: The Empire’s leaders are children of the devil. Period.
I agree that what we are witnessing is a spiritual war for the soul of humanity against the satanic forces of darkness.
@Andrei
The factor that you did not mention is full spectrum decline in the West, most notably, US. That does not have any connection with situation in and around Russia. Anglos demise is of their own making, solely.
I do not want to debate what is the real reason, if we agree there is one. EU leadership is completely under control of US based oligarchy. Population is irrelevant. Support for Anglos agenda may wary, but there is absolute no way for us to know. All sources are under tight control of infamous 1%-ers. All opinion measurement tools too.
There is a clue, though. There is number of people in Russia who do not share views of majority of Russians. Are they silenced for their view, are their media blocked? De-platformed, banned from social networks? NO.
Still their influence is minuscule. There is no NEED to purge powerless opponent who has no mass support.
West wouldn’t relate to unprecedented silencing of anything and anyone who doesn’t hate Russia enough, if there is no HUGE support underneath. And by West, I mean 1%. They acquired all means of communication, and now they are using that monopoly like there is no tomorrow.
I guess they are right. There is no escape from economic hole they dug under. Lavish life was possible until Asian riches was at hand. No more. There are still Africa and South America, but it is far from enough for lifestyle they are accustomed to. So instead of cutting expenses, spoiled Elite started to cannibalize their own.
The first, fatty, piglet to be on the plate, is Germany. Guten Appetit!
The rest of a litter will follow in no time because parasites are insatiable. That should boost US economy for a while, but not for long, as they do not show any sign of reducing major expenses. Just the opposite.
What they are trying to do is to instigate war between EU and Russia. Hoping that after severely damaging each-other, they will be easy picking for Anglos. Basically to rewind World into state after WW2. Some plan.
They just forgot one tiny thingy. China.
There is no World as it was before WW2. There is no World from 1999. either.
There will be ICC trial for sure, but it won’t be Putin sitting in the cage.
If Russia is going to be demonized anyway, then they just need to do the right thing and not worry about reacting to the devil.
God will spare them if they are acting in Righteousness.
When will president Putin start requiring payment in rubles or else? EU needs a strong economical jolt with citizens on the street very angry and “hungry”, and maybe then their brain will start to function…
Quote: 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”. – The Saker
In a way those nation state entities such as the USA and groupings of them such as the vassalized EU are not even run by the so called 1%, or the 0.1%. That social class does dominate political outcomes and acts in its own class interests though. It is in effect ruling as an oligarchic plutocracy masquerading as a democracy (1). But there is however is another dynamic at play that is central to all their choices and their outcomes. Who or what is that?
That elite class generally manages and serves the interests of a thing, not of people per see. They and their acolytes serve the interests of their particular concentration of capital. The majority of government policy in most capitalist societies has the prime motive of protecting the interests of that capital and expanding it, i.e., growth. All other considerations are effectively subordinate to that one. The reason being is that the very system depends upon that capital for the system to exist.
Capital has become their god, or supreme ruler so to speak. That is the case in most western aligned capitalist societies especially, because that has been the largest and most powerful concentration of capital for decades, e.g., the London and Wall Street axis et cetera (it is Imperialist in the Leninist sense of it being a stage of capitalism that expands its interest beyond national borders).
When that capital’s interests are threatened in any way, they will consider various forms of warfare either directly or indirectly. War, proxy war, colour revolution, coups, insurgency, death squads, sanctions, et cetera. The prime motive is the same. Serving the interests of their capital.
This serving the interests of a thing essentially renders the system anti-human at its fundamental core, so therefore it is unable to properly and responsibly respond to human needs, e.g., it will readily pollute drinking water to expand capital, or harm human heath in a thousand different ways, etc.The interests of capital do not always align with human interests — to put it mildly.
1). Note: The modern equivalent of the Demos who are the common class of ordinary income citizens have almost zero influence upon political outcomes, especially in the USA as proven by its own major universities such as Princeton and Stanford etc. If the Demos do not hold Kratis, i.e, rule themselves, then it is not democracy. The elites and their capital aligned academics call it representative democracy, which is really is just a euphemism for bourgeois plutocracy.
As a citizen of Slovenia I have to say that we should wait that ordinary people will be hurt by this sanctions. By now everything is all right. Gasoline price is frozen, just food prices are up. Slovenians knows Ukrainian most as bar dancers and van drivers on our highway from Italy to Hungary. There were for years Ukrainian, Moldovan and Romanian vans driving day and night. They were overloaded, they were smuggling cigarettes and such, stealing in Italy and so on. They were public calls for police to do more with them. And there were stopped many times. by police or vignette control or customs. This is in the head of Slovenians. They are refugees now, have war, but ordinary Slovenian will not personally suffer because of them. We feel sorry for them, collect help for them and host some refugees and I think this is all what ordinary Slovenian want. But the refugees get papers very very slow. Less than 100 refugees got their status on papers from the beginning of this war. We also don’t have large army. Our army was in Afghanistan but had limitations (no combat). Our army patrol was stopped in Lebanon few years ago on the road, searched and a laptop was stolen from them. We have no conscripts for 20 years. I personally served the army in 1997 for 7 months. I had shoot with a gun 4 times and once with pistol, throw a hand grenade once and that was all. I never camped anywhere. Local gypsies had dogs and we were afraid of them (no walking near their village) and their horses grazed grass inside our barracks due to damaged fence. I was never inside a military truck or any other military vehicle. Civilian buses were ordered for moving us around. So our army for conscripts was a waste of time and a joke. I don’t think that there will be a nation’s will to train youth and send them to the war. Not to the country we disliked for many years. Our prime minister is courageous, his defense minister also but this are just words. But we have no means to be. We have some equipment and when is lost our army can just walk and search for cover while monitored by the enemy from the air. I don’t think that any european war is possible. These days are long gone.
Your problem is that you have been ruled by a Germanised Serbophobe/Russophobe elite responsible for killing innocent recruits, unarmed officers and medics – this hasn’t been forgotten or forgiven. Jansa is a war criminal and as things are going his crimes and misdeeds starting in the 1980s might catch up with him soon. Your leaders counted on Germany, Austria and the Vatican for support and once you were swallowed by the Euro beast, you were left to rot. You never learned the key lesson that your real brothers were Serbs and others – you wanted German Kultur and in the process have pretty much lost your soul.
That an unimportant statelet such as Slovenia is threatening a mighty Russia is a clear sign that you will happily march to your own extinction as I predicted couple of years ago. This is the fate of all Germanised/Catholicised Slavs.
I want make one statement. about “Mordor” .I know the Hohols have expropriated this as a metaphor for the homeland of an eastern horde, with Russia as the horde and themselves cast as the heroic west.In one sense this seems appropriate because their entire mental construct of the universe is fictional so why not expropriate a work of fiction and project it onto their hideous extant reality. But Russia is not Mordor, and never was Mordor. JRR Tolkien famously despised socio-political metaphor in imaginative fiction. He rejected it outright time and time again. In the 50’s and 60’s many critics and writers of that kidney insisted that Tolkien’s imaginary war was a fictional parallel of WW2. Tolkien addressed this the preface he wrote for the only authorized American paperback edition of TLOTR. He said, it wasn’t a metaphor, but if it had been then Gandalf or Galadriel or Aragorn would have used the ring against Sauron and Saruman would have been released from Orthanc, and become some kind of technical advisor in a “Rings of power” weapons development program..Essentially he said that….As for Russia being “the enemy”, Soviet Russia was an ally in that war and largely responsible for crushing the third Reich.How else do we know the expropriation of Tolkien is rotten?
Because when he was given the opportunity to denounce Russia in this way himself, he turned it down. In an interview done in the early 60’s on a Finnish radio program, the host asked him if not Mordor was really the Soviet Union and was not Sauron really Stalin ? Tolkien explained to him that he found such metaphors odious and the radio host persisted and Tolkien became disgruntled …”I resent that, I resent that” Tolkien said and there was a moment of awkward silence and the subject was dropped. Finally, Tolkien began work on his middle Earth stories while he was still in the British army rehabilitating from injuries he received in the battle of the Somme – before 1920. Germany, NOT Russia was “the Hun” as that time, if Tolkien had a metaphor in mind – but of course, we know he didn’t because he told us so often that he didn’t. Prof Tolkien died long ago, and I very much doubt he would approve of the way his stories have been abused, commercially whored out for a fortune .I sometimes wonder if he would now regret ever having written them. “The west” as it tuned out was not responsible enough to receive such powerful magic.
The progression of all this is astounding. In all actuality it is a regional conflict of no great geopolitical importance. If multiple eastern oblasts had seceded in 2014 it wouldn’t have changed the balance of power in Europe. NATO could have threatened Russia just as well from a rump Ukraine. It’s not like NATO actually has the manpower or equipment to launch a land invasion of Russia anyhow. If Russia takes the east now it doesn’t really change the balance of power except denying NATO Black Sea ports on the Ukrainian coast.
The economic self-immolation is totally out of proportion. If it means “war” with Russia, especially if that’s what it means, then prepare. You don’t announce embargoes on Russian gas until all your storage is full, preferably with new storage added, LNG infrastructure being physically constructed, etc. You think through all the details you need to take care of before you try cutting Russia off from the world.
These are not serious people. They aren’t even competent people. They literally don’t have a Plan B. It’s just more sanctions and outlawing letters. Worse, they aren’t analyzing their own domestic situations at all. The US almost color revolutioned itself just over a year ago. US politics can’t handle a serious crisis. One where there isn’t enough food on the shelves or people being unable to afford what is there will shatter this place.
It looks like the US and EU are just racing to see who falls apart first.
“These are not serious people. They aren’t even competent people. They literally don’t have a Plan B. ”
I think this is underesting them, what we are seeing is the end of 30 year well designed war plan(s). There is huge momentum in long term projects initiated. They by now probably close to Plan Z, and some are seriously contemplating capitulation. The Empire is breaking down, but they keep doubling down. Even if at the end of it, it’s population is reduced to eating bugs to survive … they will declare it an supreme environmental green victory. They saved the earth :)
To me it seems the original plan was a gradual conquest of the former external Soviet Vassals + the newly independent states after the disintegration of the Soviet. Followed by the conquest of Russia proper. The southern flank would be stormed by fanatic ISIS type of jihadis, and the western by their NAZI brothers in arms. There is a reason Russia responded asymetrically to the 2014 attack by engaging in Syria. The ISIS kalifat would have been a breeding ground for fighters for the southern flank. Luckily they got snuffed out, although a few thousands made it to afganistan.
Now the War in Ukraine will expand to push the Anglos out of Europe, at a minimum to the former ‘coldwar’ lines. I we are lucky and the Russians have mercy on us (Western vassals), they will roll all the way to the atlantic coast and leave the City of London to rot on its Alcatraz island.
I’m not underestimating their desires, but those as vague concepts or at best a random collection of short term decisions do not constitute a plan in my opinion.
If you think you might seize currency reserves and cut Russia off from western banking, shouldn’t you also game out every possible response from Russia. Shouldn’t they be binned in probable, possible, unlikely? Shouldn’t you have multiple counter responses designed that can be used for all of them, and shouldn’t they all have some degree of phasing that can be adjusted?
If you plan to cut off Russia, even just as a maybe sometime in the future, then you should definitely make sure every gas storage facility in Europe is full all the time. You should probably build more. You should be deep into expanding LNG infrastructure. There are a million details to address for a grand strategy of breaking up Russia. All the US has done is put together elevator pitches for concepts based on best case scenarios. They do have excellent marketing campaigns for these elevator pitches though.
That’s all I mean by “not serious people” and not having a plan. Real plans, not ideological fantasies. The European leadership is even less serious because they’re taking the US seriously.
I defenitely do believe that this is a false flag but I’m still curious to hear the counter arguments to this sattelite image.

Granted that having a sattelite capturing shots of this specific area back on the 19th is a strange coincidence, I’m still curious about what is being said about this.
Also saw this tweet yesterday.

That showed Ukros moving dead bodies with cables. Looks deleted today… Are there more videos debunking the false flag?

The second things are put into class terms and interersts, it does not explain everything, but it shows the bare-bones; the left-right division of outlook and opinion evaporates in importance one of many ways the opposition to corproate socialism (fascism), shapes itself in to a social democratic form. Note here that scoialism is not used as political recipe, but a stage in economic self-development of capital. The economic historical stage only sets the parematers, the politics, as always, is real people; conflicting interests, ideas and powers.
The people are feared because they are polititically weak and divided, this state of being is transitory, the effort to keep them in this state is enormous, the means less and less able, the lies bigger and bigger, and the costs to everyday existence rapidly growing. Mass impoversihment does not make change, immediacy takes over and disconnection—but the poitential political power rises expodentially, waiting for its voice, self-organising powers and the instilled wisdom of seeing the world from the bottom as more and more are pushed to the extreme. That is a world not as it is imagined, in its cozy comfortable shrouds, but as it is…
This is the period of social storms, thuder claps, the dark night rendered by flashes of lightening, cold winds and the early light of political clarity and purpose newly coincieved and gestating.
Let us step back to a kindler, gentler time. Adolf Hitler was Time’s Man of the Year in 1938. Joe Stalin was Time’s Man of the Year in 1939. Nobody in the US was accusing Japan of war crimes in Nanking.
The United States maintained diplomatic relations with both Japan and Germany up to the days immediately following Pearl Harbor.
Hitler became the devil in 1941. Stalin became the devil in 1948. Not because they changed, but because the American people were told by their masters to see them as the devil.
Everything old is new again. The solution is not to police the media. The solution is to educate the people.

Yes, Saker, just as you and Nightvision (and others) predicted, the false flags are coming now as Ukraine starts to clearly lose on the physical battlefield.
As my name implies, I live in Zone A. In the heart of the beast, actually.
Russians, historically, are very familiar with agitprop and a variety of psyop techniques. All the color revolution stuff, destabilization tactics and so on.
I will tell you this, though. In the last decade and a half I think the West, led by the USA, has become much more aggressive and reliant on intense, pressurized propaganda and ad hoc attacks. Cancel Culture is a symptom, as is the increasing third-worldization of Western politics. I’m talking about lawfare against opponents, attacking the humanity of opponents rather than the ideas of opponents, etc.
This hybrid campaign, then, I think is the culmination of this Western creep into a routine, banal “color revolution” mode when dealing with any kind of opponent (political, military, personal). I cannot overstate how different the USA is now as compared with 20 years ago. It’s insane now. Totally insane. Much reparative work has to be done. But as a nation that dealt with 1917 and 1941 would know, it can be done and has to be done. There’s no real alternative.
I want to echo what many others have commented previously. Many in Zone A are just like myself, not fooled by the NATO PR and very cognizant of what is going on in Ukraine. We just don’t feel like saying a lot and losing our jobs over it, or similar measures. We’re not in the ruling 1% and don’t have their power or megaphones.
I must say that in some ways I’m envious of the resilience and strength of Russia and the Russian people. Americans today are soft, weak and without honor. It’s sad to see. But someone has to keep up the good fight around the globe so that people know, around the world, that alternative living (to Western zombie land) exists. And so many in Zone A look to Russia, Hungary, etc. Trust me, there are plenty of people just like this in Zone A. We know how things used to be here and how they are now, and we want the old world back (even if it was imperfect and Zone A did a number of bad things then).
Anyhow, Russia and its leadership seems to be adjusting to the West’s “total war” (which I agree it is) very rapidly. Did you see the news about the Mariupol city council today? They are claiming Russia is using mobile crematoriums (which I do think they brought for their own soldiers) to “hide” their “atrocities” in the city. And that Russian forces are taking supposed “witnesses to atrocities” to “filtering camps” so that they can’t talk. Here’s an article on this:
https://www.foxnews.com/world/russian-crematoria-mariupol-new-auschwitz-mayor
Let me translate what this actually means, and how it could signal a shift (a fast shift) in Russian tactics.
1. There are no atrocities in Mariupol, as we all know. Or none by the Russian side.
2. The Russians may have decided to use the crematoriums to clean up the Ukranian atrocities in the city. That is, remove the (unsanitary) dead bodies by using the crematoriums for a healthy, clean solution to resolving the deceased left by the Ukrainian extremists. If there are no bodies strewn in the town, harder then to claim an atrocity took place. Of course, unlike near Kyiv, Russia is staying in Mariupol and so there will be no false flag opportunities (or fewer) there.
3. If you know there are belligerents who are willing to lie about fake “atrocities”, determine that rapidly and separate them from the rest of the population (and NATO/Ukraine forces) who wants to settle down in the newly pacified city.
As Nightvision said, Russia may be a bit unsteady when wars start but she learns fast and ends up winning them in the end. This is what seems to be happening here, from my viewpoint, and I’m pleased with the adjustments made so far.
That said, this is going to be a battle to the end. Zone A won’t give up easily. But, given all the resistance Russia is facing, I am actually pleased with where things are today. Still much to do, but there’s plenty of good news to be had on the Russian side.
Sorry to be so long. I have read this site for years but never commented previously and so had much to say.
holodomor, holocaust, holo-porn…
Just so that you know, some of us get it:

Unfortunately; anyone who speaks the truth in the West is promptly cancelled. We now have even less freedom of speech and freedom of thought than the people of North Korea.
Yes, that blogger lives in the USA. A good example of a Zone A person who knows the propaganda games being played by NATO and Ukraine in this showdown.
I think a commenter said on here recently, to paraphrase, that the true purpose of propaganda is not to convince you of things you don’t believe but instead to make you feel like you are isolated and alone in your beliefs.
That’s a great comment. But I want to add another piece to it.
The true purpose of propaganda, to me, is to make you feel isolated and alone in your beliefs…and thus to separate you from other potential (natural) allies.
What this means is that, in this instance, part of what Zone A is doing is trying to get people like Saker to think that all of Zone A is against Russia. And that’s far, far, far from the truth. Many here understand how corrupt Zone A is, even if they feel scared to voice their opinions.
The USA is a quasi-Marxist state now, in my opinion. You cannot speak out or else you will face public struggle sessions from the elites’ Red Guard. You have to live here to understand what I mean. It’s brutal.
But plenty of people here, like the blogger Elmer mentioned, know Zone A is utterly lying about the Ukraine situation. And we are hoping for a “just” outcome of the conflict.
I thought the biggest headline not mentioned so far. Is pentagon cant confirm the bucha massacre.
April 4, 2022. From. Reuters, “Pentagon can’t independently confirm atrocities in Ukraine’s Bucha, official says”. : The U.S. military is not in a position to independently confirm Ukrainian accounts of atrocities by Russian forces against civilians in the town of Bucha, but has no reason to dispute the accounts either, said on Monday
The media might be screaming they know everything but the pentagon ie intelligence, military, government arent claiming anything. To have them sidestep this and leave to the loudest yappers is an admission in itself. It would have its own evidence presented if it did indeed have any. What kind of intelligence service in a full spectrum dominance 5 eyes world cant come to a presser with evidence.
His account is back.
Heretic, Please do not regurgitate Empire propaganda about North Korea, a nation brutally victimized by the West for more than 80 years.. Read some credible sources about the Korean War, for example, and don’t apply arrogant Western standards of democracy, freedom, equality and so on based on what you see and hear in the Western news sphere.
Interesting. Since Scripture shows that God is using Russia, et al as his battle axe to destroy Babylon ie its modern equivalent The United States of America, et al then we can be absolutely certain that the USofA will, post-its economic self-destruction, turn to a final all-out nuclear exchange with a maximum number of targets and everything “including their holster” launched and thrown in one mass attack.
Unfortunately, the Russians etc will prevail by remembering, once again, ‘the mean streets of Leningrad’.
Common sense for the Empire of Lies and Hate is to surrender and declare full national bankruptcy.
Go to the bottom of the class to avoid being kicked out of class – the final indignity.
US folks remember what you did to the world when you were on top in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.
Now is payback time. You could have avoided this by never even thinking smart of yourselves in those years and to have submitted to foreign leadership then. Fifty years later you would have risen from the bottom to a lower end but near middle ranked nation – better than your current non-status.
Good old IBM would have it (art the time) that you should have THUMK.
You have a very active imagination. Where on earth does Scripture show that God is using Russia to destroy Babylon? Answer: It doesn’t! A comparison of Matthew 23 and Revelation will show that Babylon was none other than ancient Jerusalem. And the Babylon (Jerusalem) of Revelation was destroyed by Rome in 70 AD.
I would say the most important thing about the Bucha affair is that it shows the psycotic face of 404. It now limites the options for movement warfare. Russia now knows that any inhabited area they withdraw from might have its population exterminated as traitors by the regime, and that they will be blamed for it.
I would say the total war started before this, with the sanctions of ALL russians. Usually they have the facade of ‘we are friends of the people, it’s just that bad hitler we want to get rid of’. Not this time, it’s a deviation from the playbook. As with the Serbs, Russians are now demonized … dehumanised. To me that looks like preparations for overt future warfare.
The election of Trump by the deplorables is also an important factor in this. First he delayed the war Hitlery would have started in 2016, and as if that wasn’t enough he broke the Empire in January of 2020. In many ways the martyring of Soleimani killed the Empire of Lies.
Israelis don’t suffer from “pre-traumatic stress disorder”, they suffer from their own deception which they project onto the rest of the world, in which they are very good at.
Someone please tell my ignorant brain what is “Zone A” and “Zone B” and “3B+PU”?
What is Russia and China? Zone “Z”??
Zone A = West (North America; EU; NATO; etc)
Zone B = Everyone else (BRICS, East, etc)
3B = Baltics
P = Poland
U = Ukraine
Russia and China are Zone B entities. Multi-polar world to come is Zone B stepping out of unipolar Zone A shadow and hegemony. Much to the chagrin of Zone A.
North America sans Mexico
I maintain that Russia needs to hit Ukraine hard. Harder than before and harder still. This, the US&Co. understands. The US is planning ‘counter attacks’ so how will this be accomplished if their soldiers are dead? Just finish this episode. They’ll surely be another around the corner. The US&Co. hasn’t faced an opponent like Russia before although the fighters of Afghanistan were/are formidable.
Again, screw their PR campaign. Who cares? This narrative will change as it already is. The US seems to be backing off of some of their scary stories.

The US is once again making veiled threats to China, India and not so veiled threats to Pakistan.
I think Russia needs to firm up their alliance with China, India, Pakistan, etc. Everyone needs to tell them to “Screw Off!”
The US&Co. are hysterical because they are being exposed and they are panicking. They likely realize they will never again be able to rape and pillage and reign supreme. Those days are coming to a close. Countries are finally in a position to stand up to the bully. The US&Co. are not going to go away easily but they have no intention of doing that now. More fear mongering.
Russia needs to go for broke and fast imho. Then you are depriving them of their current options.
The concern is that the US (as you note) isn’t going to “go quietly into the night”, and the “extremely well connected” there are probably not “that” concerned with the possibility of significant (maybe even nuclear) escalation since “they” have their five-star rated shelter complexes to retire to, and wait until things outside are a bit more pleasant.
Whilst they expect to be looked up to, they are far from the brightest, and this in itself makes the probability of all-out conflict greater – arrogance coupled with stupidity coupled with a sense of immortality (conferred by those shelters).
Then, there’s always the old American military mindset” – “Let’s bomb them a bit and see what happens!” – a mindset that doesn’t work quite so well if the “bombs” are nuclear weapons, and your “target” is armed with more3 (and better) nuclear weapons than you are . . . . .
“The US is planning ‘counter attacks’
You are mistaken – planning of military options by US intelligence and military professionals which would include “NATO including the US” are not taking place, since former gamed plans evaluated by NATO including the US intelligence and military professionals, have shown such to be virtually suicidal and hence daydreams, and that if implemented the Russian Federation and their associates including their intelligence and military professionals, would not perceive this to be wholly disadvantageous.
You are illustrating Mr. Rove’s contention which remains a hope of some in “The United States of America”, primarily non-professionals including many politicians.
We are an empire
We create our own reality
To which others respond
Whilst they are responding
We create another reality
To whioch others respond
which he undermined with another of his observations:
You can fool some of the people all of the time, and those are the one’s you should concentrate on.
That is the current doctrine informing the “propaganda” of “The United States of America” which has been largely limited to the “West” – others being subjected to attempts at different modes of coercion such as china, India, Pakistan to name a small sample – both practices in parallel simultaneously undermining attempts and the potencies of modes used internationally.
However some professionals in the Pentagon regularly seek to undermine such ignorance, rendering “The United States of America” which has never been united, even more dis-united – another area of concern of some in the Pentagon – the previous militarisation of police and other forces being one consequence of the concerns of the Pentagon and others.
How about this one: Empire of Lies, Hate and THIEVES
I have a solution!
For any Christian nation with a shred of sovereignty left…..to declare that….
The Old Testament and the New Testament must be separated.
They do not belong in the same binding.
I could make an argument that it was the greatest crime in two millennia to have ever combined the two books as if they belong together.
With this deceit, the Christian world always has a choice. It can do what Christ would have them do, or it can do what Jahweh would have them do.
It has become a predisposition in the west that it chooses the latter, as it is almost always the aggressor.
The cost is unimaginable….the lost souls, the unfulfilled potential, the grief….
When you swear on the bible it would be better that it meant something.
How true. Thank you for writing this.
Jesus said unequivocally he was carrying out the law written in Hebrew scripture and fulfilling its prophecies. He recognized no break between scripture and his own good news.
The indelible aggression of the West always includes the satanic appropriation of Christianity as part of its propaganda kit. That’s no reason to blame the Lord’s word as expressed in either New or Old Testaments.
They are utterly incompatible as we are evidencing in Ukraine.
Jesus must have been misquoted.
We need an up and down vote on the comment boards. So many posts to compliment here. I’m not wanting to bother Andrei or mods acknowledging a post. I think it would be a good thing.
Canada’s foreign minister has repeated several times that the ultimate objective of ‘the collective west”s anti-Russian operations is ‘the suffocation of the Russian regime.’
Cripple and hurt are verbs that are also frequently used by the PM.
It could be seen as militarist jargon but they need to up their game as to what they say, beyond the obvious lack of judicial objectivity that they show, with guilty and no proof with their policy of guilty until proven guilty, with zero presumption of innocence, and automatically defaming and slandering leadership for propaganda purposes instead of building up the true investigative experts, like Scott Ritter.
James 3
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+3&version=KJV;NIV
Gazprom ceased operations in Germany.
Russian giant Gazprom, the largest gas extraction and trading company in the world, halted all its activities in Germany as of 1 April 2022.
Before Russia’s intervention in Ukraine, Gazprom operated the Nord Stream gas pipeline and supervised the construction of a second gas pipeline, Nord Stream 2. The company supplied two-thirds of Germany’s gas requirements, in particular for the automobile industry.
When the “Straussians” launched their actions aimed against the European Union but misrepresented as “sanctions against Russia”, Moscow demanded that its gas be paid for in rubles, which European companies refused to do. As the contracts had been drawn up in euros, it was legitimate for buyers to reject the currency change. In response, Gazprom undersold its German subsidiary responsible for these contracts. Having received euros, the subsidiary was unable to pay Gazprom in rubles and is currently on the verge of bankruptcy.
French companies, which also refused to pay in rubles, were protected by their government which ordered the French banks in charge of the transaction to convert the euros into rubles before making the transfer to Gazprom.
Germany has a reserve of 3.9 billion cubic meters of gas. If this situation were to continue, its automobile industry would come to a standstill, leading to the collapse of its national economy.
https://www.voltairenet.org/article216401.html
” If this situation were to continue, its automobile industry would come to a standstill, leading to the collapse of its national economy.”
And their chemical industries sooner as representatives of these industries understand and are acting upon.
