By real coincidence, Andrei Martyanov here broaches a comment I recently made about “East and West” that was not posted. Its important close:
Because Jews are found on every side of every significant issue, and because their philosophy infuses most, if not all of them, problems should be analyzed from the perspective of the Jewish agenda.
Exactly the real issue. Great comment!
The President of the Ukraine is a Jew. The US secretary of state is a Jew. In Australia, Rupert Murdoch the Jew appoints and deposes prime ministers. These are Israel’s people.
How many countries in the world have presidents and secretaries of state that are Russian or Iranian?
These fellows are a gang, a global gang. And their power is at such a level that they can openly place their own members in high offices in most countries in the world, from Ukraine to USA.
What better way to make sure that the Ukraine does everything they need it to do right now, than to have one of their own junior members as its President? In a situation like this, you can’t trust a paid employee like Biden or BoJo, you need one of your own calling the shots.
so let’s talk about the Jews. I am also probably of Jewish descent. Judaism is largely a copy of the philosophy and culture of very ancient peoples. Moses was probably a member of the Egyptian aristocracy. That in itself is not bad. There are 2 types of Jews:
1- Zionist Jews who want a unified world government.
2- Ordinary Jews, who are good people who do good and are the majority.
The Zionists are probably also in Moscow, in the Russian government, and they are probably already in Taiwan and fighting with all their might to enter all of China. The Zionists dominate Washington, Hollywood, the banks and all of the western media. They have an agenda and are not afraid to destroy humanity in a 3rd world war.
Putin is challenging the Diabolical Zionists, and so we are seeing World War 3 on the horizon.
Let me tell you why you are wrong.
My brother, who is a lawyer, was reminiscing about a client he had a few years ago. The client was trying to get some project off the ground and had hit a dead end. As far as his lawyers and the government of the country of question (large southern hemisphere island nation) were concerned, there was no way forward for him. But then, the client realized that one of the fellows in charge of his case, whom he had been corresponding with via email, had a Jewish surname. Now, the client was a white guy married to an Israeli. So, he wrote to the guy again, and made sure to mention that his wife is part of the tribe.
And voila! Doors opened, and his project was given the green light.
Now, I am not suggesting that this guy’s Israeli wife or the Jewish fellow are evil. I am sure that they are just regular people. But this is an honest to God true example of the atmosphere of favoritism that exists in Western countries today. People who have been around the block a few times will know exactly what I am talking about.
This is why Biden’s son married a Jewess. This is why Trump’s daughter married a Jew. This is why Bill Clinton’s daughter married a Jew. This connection to the tribe almost certainly guarantees success in the West today.
And there is another side to this coin. The only reason Jared Kushner’s troll of a brother is married to a supermodel is because he is Jewish. The only reason many Jewish actors and actresses get lead roles and dominate the Hollywood landscape is because of, you guessed it, their ethnicity.
Now, we are told that if we hate the Jews for their undeserved privilege, we are anti-semites. And if we call them out on their favoritism and privilege, someone will come along and tell us that we should hate the Zionists, and not lump all Jews together.
The US government is run by Jeffrey Epstein’s handlers. Europe is same. So zionists are suiciding the west. I guess medieval Europeans burned talmuds for a reason.
Are readers familiar with the Georgia Guidestones? They call for a global population of 500 million, meaning a depopulation agenda of around 7.5 billion. With a b
That’s the Zionist agenda. Nuclear false flag is a real threat. The west cannot lose in Ukraine or the Zionist agenda goes up in smoke. Hence Germany’s decision to suicide itself with an embargo, and Biden’s plan to send 33 billion to Ukraine. The Zionist west must win or die. Putin knows this, but the world doesn’t. Biden’s handlers will try to get NATO in the war officially before it’s over. Zionists aren’t going to accept losing the world. Russia is now Gods army. Angels are in charge.

Excellent idea a Q & A
Should be more of them say once a month.
I challenge the premise that the West is funding the war because they pay for gas in rubles. That is nothing but Western propaganda spread by the usual suspects.
Russia does not need rubles from anybody. They are the issuer of the ruble and can create and issue as many rubles as they need.
Example:
Poland pays for gas with rubles and Let’s pretend Russia then uses those rubles to buy any good or service that is sold in rubles – Is that inflationary ?
Russia instructs the Russian central bank to create Rubles from thin air and start crediting Russia’s public sector and private sector bank accounts so they can buy and provide goods and services that the state needs – is that inflationary ?
Where did Poland get the rubles from so they could buy the gas ? From the issuer of the ruble of course. The Russian government.
So no the West is not funding this war. The issuer of the ruble the Russian state funds itself. By using the currency it creates from thin air. Anybody who has rubles got them from the issuer of the ruble. That is the only place you can get them from.
Or borrow the rubles from a bank. Which has a banking licence from the Russian state to issue rubles on the states behalf.
Case in point:
If the West stopped buying Russian exports would Russia run out of rubles ?
Of course not Russia issues the Ruble.
I belive you can as a country open account in Gazprombank, send dollars or euro and Russians will convert them to rubles. I mean, no other countries got warning letter about shuting down the gas’ flow.
Goverment of Poland thought that they can just fool around with Russia without any consequences. Kaczynski is really dumb. He managed to be isolated even in the EU. Money from EU are blocked too, Poland didn’t even get money for supporting milions of Ukrainians refugees.
Flawed logic.
Money is worth as much as it can be used in compensation chamber or exchanged in some way within the global banking cartel/network.

Russia cannot use euro or USD deposit in Gazprom bank.
Therefore it is toilet paper.
My guess is that there is only 2 ways for European to get Rubles.
Either souscrire loan.
Or sell gold to Gazprom.
Any other way is BS
@Jack
I rely on public statements of Russian officials. It seems that they have found the way to use foreign currencies. You just now jumped into speculations and “flawed logic” accustations with the help of biased against Russia Wall Street Journal.
Quote:
>
> Russia does not need rubles from anybody. They are the issuer of the ruble and can create and issue as many rubles as they need.

It is true that Russia can print as many Rubles as it likes. But…
Foreign trade partners will accept payment in Rubles only if they can in turn buy goods with Rubles, e.g. products from Russian companies.
If Russia wants to buy and pay foreign goods in foreign currencies it has to get such foreign money somehow.
The scheme of “payment in Rubles” via the exchange at Gazprombank is actually a payment *in foreign currencies*. It is just that foreign currencies need to be delivered to a bank (Gazprombank) where the money cannot get stolen by the “Western” governments.
I understand the point about creating rubles. But I don’t understand the point about exchanging other currencies for rubles.
Say, Russia creates 10 rubles. All of the rubles are busy being used in Russia.
Outside Russia there are /is the equivalent of 30 rubles in various currencies.
Now someone with, say 5 euros wants to exchange them for rubles in order to buy some gas.
But Russia’s 10 rubles within Russia are “busy” in the Russian economy.
Doesn’t Russia have to create some more rubles to exchange for the euros?
i am not knowledgeable or trained in military and operational engineering, but the war in Ukraine, and Russias demonstrated capabilities, make me doubt that the US could successfully deploy in an active “hot” European theatre again.. Consider that when the Soviet union was in power, in the 1960’s and 70’s for example, NATO had about 2 million troops in western Europe which at that time, reached only as far east as W. Germany..There has been a recent re-buildup again but the US has about 100,000 troops in all of Europe which now covers twice the area it used to.In a conventional war between NATO and Russia 10’s of thousands would be killed weekly, maybe even daily. NATO troops would suffer from 25% -50 % casualty rate The US does not have the manpower or, (without China) the industrial power anymore to replace those kinds of losses. With Russias mastery of precision and hyper hypersonic stand off weapons no convoy of ships crossing the Atlantic would be safe and neither would aircraft. We can begin to see why the impending NATO loss in Ukraine is such a catastrophe for NATO and why under NO circumstances, will NATO troops or frontline NATO weapons arrive in the Ukraine.NATO cant afford to even wage, much less lose a war of attrition in Europe..It was amusing -in a sickening way – to listen to western mouthpieces tell the clueless media and politicians that “no fly zone” is out of the question and the reason given was that “we would have to shoot down Russian planes”……Of course the TRUE HONEST response would have been that, Russia has already declared a “no fly zone” over all of Ukraine and if NATO transgresses into it Russia will shoot down our planes and THEN what would we tell you?….
It doesn’t matter what they tell you, as long as its what you and they want you to hear.

Andrei thank you for another well informed piece of journalism. However whilst I fully appreciate your views on Israeli/Jewish influence it most certainly is not minimal. Istael has perpetrated serious war crimes against the Palestinians undetpinnef by the Nazi philosophy of untermenschen. To them the Palestinians have a lower statis than reptiles. They dehumanise them and on essence murder and massacre them with impunity fully supported by the West. It was Medicins Sans Frontiere that bought to the world’s attention the maasacre at Jenin. We have no idea about what other evils the Israeli Govt are perpetrating. Israel essentially has the West by the Balls. The 74 day carpet bombing by Israel of the Gaza strip was only condemned by Latin American and African/Asian continents. Here in rhe UK rhey own our Govt. The video by Al Jazeera showed an Israeli Special Envoy offering a Labour MP £1m to bring Corbyn down by a smear campaign. The BoD of Jewish Deputies in the UK were the ones that started the riduculous anti semitic claims against Corbyn all because he was going to recognise Palestibe as a State. 75% of MPs in the UK Parliament are Friends Of Israel and fully support Israel in their atrocities against rhe Palestinians. The are a highly influential lobby that hold a huge amount of power in Western politics. I think if a special envoy say from an African Embassy in the UK offeted a Tory MP £1m to bring down Johnson thete would be serious manufactured outrage bt the MSM. Or if a representative from a Middle Eastern Embassy offered an Israeli Parliamentarian $1m to take out Netanyahu there would be an invadion of that Country. The Israeli Govt is much more powerful inthe West than is being admiited
I agree with you Jo. I just happen to listen to a few interviews of Youssef Hindi (French historian). He is specialized in the messianic cabalistic Judaism that infiltrated Christianism (as “Maranes”, Jews falsely converted to Christianity) and is at the core of Protestantism, especially with Calvin who made the spiritual authority yield to bankers and merchants. And so was the French Revolution manipulated by those British/Jewish bankers.
That messianic cabalistic Judaism also infiltrated Islamic religion like in turkey in the 1800’s, ending the califat. Massacre of the Armenians) It also started the franc-masonry. One goal is to destroy Christianity and Islam and to speed up the apocalypse and thus the coming of the messiah. It is also very connected with the globalist ideology and active agenda to get rid of sovereign nations.
“They subjugated (bought/hooked) the Catholic Church, and now the Orthodox Church is the target.
Values, morality, traditions, cultures and races are the target. Soros seems to be one fatty private agent to bring up that messianic agenda.
It is interesting that we are living those times of revelations, when/where evil is naked for all to see ( if we are willing to see).
The sacrifice of the innocent is one way supposedly to speed up the apocalyptic coming. At first it was self sacrifice, through acts of true pity, and then, came the more satanic sacrifice of innocents.
Anyway, here we are. In darkness and light.
I wish us to have the courage to inquire and stand for the truth.
Thanks everybody for the articles and comments.
It helps to have a sense of belonging.
IN 1925, Russia had been through a devastating war and a violent internal revolution. Her currency had been destroyed in a runaway price inflation, she was the world’s worst financial risk abroad and she had very little gold. Yet by the end of the first Five Year Plan in 1933, Russia had invested some 60 billion rubles in factories, new cities, cities, hydroelectric developments, armaments, houses, schools. There stood the new plant, ugly and solid. Without it Russia could never have met the onslaught of Hitler’s armies.
Where did the money come from?
In 1933 it was freely prophesied that Italy could not invade Ethiopia. She had no credit abroad and almost no gold. The effort would bankrupt her. Italy went ahead, conquered Ethiopia, and emerged without financial collapse.
Where did the money come from?
Hitler took over a Germany which was technically bankrupt. It had defaulted on its foreign obligations. When he proposed to build a powerful army, together with all kinds of grandiose public works, he was laughed at in London and New York. Germany was insolvent, and the whole idea was preposterous. The nations of Europe which have trembled under the thunder of panzer divisions know that Hitler built even more terribly than he promised.
Where did the money come from?
When Japan began to rattle her sword in the direction of Indo-China and challenge the United States and the British Empire, wiseacres said it was a bluff. The long years of the war in China had reduced the Japanese economy to a bag of bones. She was bankrupt and could not sustain a real fight. Yet she opened a new attack with devastating fury, and with military equipment in planes, tanks, artillery, ships.
Where did the money come from?
It is clear from these examples that what a great nation can “afford” in periods of crisis depends not on its money but on its man power and its real resources.
Money is the easy part. Created at will and can never run out.
Russia does not need gas buyers to fund anything. It can fund itself simply by issuing the currency. Buy anything it needs of wants that is sold in rubles.
Could the money have come from Rothschild banks planning on uplifting extremist regimes to provoke wars?
I kind of get your point, although I would have answered that the money came either from the UK and/or US.
As far as Russia issuing currency, it seems obvious that it is solid because of being backed up with oil, natural gas, gold and so on. As well as credibility! Russia sticks to her words.
My mind still goes to the “sacrifice of the innocent”… it seems obviously that Russia is self sacrificing whereas the west is sacrificing civilians.
Billy,
“Where did the money come from?”
I think you are asking the right question, however, things may be more complex than you realize. As a person who is fairly well acquainted with history, a lot of this was new to me and it involves an interlocking network of US/Western dominated banking interests an corporations:

I hope you find them as interesting as I did.
Exactly, But if you need a lot of dollars to buy something (like high end semiconductors from Taiwan) then you do not want your currency to lose value. Through effect of import prices as expressed in your currency on all prices in country you might get inflation. No hyperinflation ever occured because of too high salaries of public servants. Losing value to foreign currencies on the other hand was a problem. I like your MMT theory, but it does not deny that stupid policies can result in high inflation.
You cannot essentially print money out of the air and create value, the economy does not work that way. It is through trade of goods and services where value is created. Now if you remember the collapse of Yugoslavia, they fell under massive loans and inflation on top of the world sanctions levied on them. Using the example of the former German Weimer Republic, inflation sky rocketed under heavy western European sanctions. Hitler reversed direction because he eliminated the central bank and usury. Need I remind everyone here that Russia kicked the central bank out of Russia. There are only four countries in the world that are not dominated by the central Bank. Who controls the central bank? The Bank of England, Council of 100 , etc.
Does anyone have anything on this? I have no time to look any further, at the moment:

https://cairnsnews.org/2022/04/27/russia-is-fighting-all-of-nato-collecting-evidence-of-us-biolabs-in-ukraine/
Gary this is indeed a brilliant read straight from the frontline so to speak. It impresses me when I read and listen to interviews with Russian miltary personnel how much clarity they have about their operation, its objectives and the strategy to achieve them. NATO on the other hand don’t seem to understand anything at all. Thanks for pisting this.
One of the things that Mr. Martyanov touches on often is the lack of understanding by people of the West in understanding Russia and Russian people. I wish someone would have asked some questions about this.
I am from the West and I am sure Mr. Martyanov is correct on this issue. I wish to understand Russians better but I don’t really know where to start. I recently discovered Yesenin’s “Land of Scoundrels” and thought eventhough it was written in 1923 it somehow seemed relevant today.
For the next Q and A:
How can people of the West begin to understand Russians? Where is the best place to start?
Good point actually, following..
The best way to understand others is really just to understand yourself.
Try Christmas Holiday by W. Somerset Maugham
After meeting Russians Charlie plays piano different….
….He sat down and played again that piece of Scriabin’s that Lydia thought he played so badly, and as he began he had a sudden recollection of that stuffy, smoky cellar to which she had taken him, of those roughs he had made such friends with, and of the Russian woman, gaunt and gipsy-skinned, with her enormous eyes, who had sung those wild, barbaric songs with such a tragic abandon. Through the notes he struck he seemed to hear her raucous, harsh and yet deeply moving voice. Leslie Mason had a sensitive ear.
“You play that thing differently from the way you used,” he said when Charley got up from the piano.
“I don’t think so. Do I?”
“Yes, the feeling’s quite different. You get a sort of tremor in it that’s rather effective.”….
Try to persuade Russian publishers to translate their literature into foreign languages and to publish it on the internet. Western publishing houses and book dealers (Amazon!) do not touch literature in the Russian language.
We shall fight those evil Russos in the movies, on play station, space wars, in the board and war games room, but not on the battlefield where it’s highly likely we’ll suffer an ass-whooping. USA! USA! USA!
He who thinks about fighting but runs away lives to think about fighting another day.
We shall fight those evil Russos
Good one))) You should explain though that it is from famous Churchill’s speech and, accidentally, into to Aces High by Iron Maiden.
Great concept this Q&A! Much appreciated and very informative. Must ask this question though as i don’t agree on the ‘legitimate security concerns’.
How legitimate are those concerns if you created them yourself? I mean everybody has seen the maps of how the ethnic cleansing progressed on palestinian land since 1947 right?
How is this any different from the empire getting bitten by his self appointed abused ‘pets’?
This double standard puzzles me so please do explain..
Israel will always be Russia and America achilles heal.
Watch as the dying carcass of the US is picked clean by Israel, it moves on to a new host, most likely China.
Russia wasted years kowtowing to join Club West when Iran was a better fit. Most likely shit like Netanyahu who held more audiences with Putin than any other world leader and their huge influence in the DUMA with assholes like Slutsky prevented this.
It’s taken time but seems Russia is back on track.
“Israel will always be Russia and America achilles heal.”
The Russian history is more interesting than the American one. About 800-900 years ago The Khazar empire (Centered in modern day Eastern Ukraine) was obliterated by constant raiding by the Rus. Upon smashing this Jewish state the people scattered, they ended up spread across Europe with various hotspots, one of which was in Spain. As an aside, the Spanish Inquisition was essentially a jewish purge. The reason for inquisitors was to identify jews that were masquerading as Christian.
Early in his reign, Putin conducted a kind of purge of the top levels of Jewish involvement. I haven’t checked, but I bet you find non of the russian oligarchs are jewish.
There is likely to be a lot of animosity on both sides.
Regarding Reagan’s appointments, in the second half of his administration, spies penetrated the US vetting system..
quote:
Leading neo-conservative Richard Perle, who was caught spying for Israel while working as an aid to Senator “Scoop” Jackson in 1970, went on without reprimand to maintain a revolving door between work for Israeli defense firms and for the U.S. government, even being placed in charge of international security policy in
1982.
In that position, he was able to circumvent protocol and hire two other pro-Israeli functionaries who had earlier had their security clearances revoked for espionage, Stephen Bryen and Michael Ledeen. In 1982, Douglas Feith was investigated over allegations that he had handed over secret documents to the Israeli embassy, but after being fired from the NSC, was nevertheless hired back by Perle. On leaving the Pentagon in 1986, Feith promptly started a law firm in Israel. In 1987, the most famous spy of them all, Jonathan Pollard, a U.S. Navy intelligence analyst, was imprisoned for life for selling a roomful of U.S. secret documents to Israel. (88)

Andrei,
Bier Tisch Kommandant NSA here after knocking down a couple of high octane 24 ouncers.
1) Why is the power grid still up in west ukraine? 50 well placed missiles would take out the substations attached to every power plant. No modern society functions in the dark….no internet, no communications, no commerce, no transportation, no lighting. Two weeks without electricity might sober the ukies up and lead to accommodation…..or maybe cannibalism.
2) Why is power still being provided to the Baltic states grids? Cast them into darkness too.
3) Why are the pathetic subservient euroweanies still being supplied with nat gas? Close the pipelines. Let the greenies burn coal.
With huge respect for Mr Martyanov, I’m not convinced Russian losses would be higher than NATO in a conventional fight. NATO would never be able to establish any kind of air dominance. In a straight-up ground struggle Russian troops would give NATO a real pasting, maybe even worse than what is happening in Ukraine. Anyways, we all agree Russia would win, I just think it would be much more lopsided considering the state of NATO today.
I don’t think that Mr Martyrnov answered the question that way.
I think that what Mr Martyrnnov was alluding to is the fact that Russia would lose more combatants than the US (mostly EU combatants). The US has history of using nuclear weapons on its side, they will not hesitate to use them should the conventional war result in 50-60k dead US soldiers. Mr Martynov did day that and also did say that NATO cannot defeat Russia.

Love listening to this guy. So down to earth and pragmatic.
I am not certain if Q&A has been closed or not, but I have to ask, Already in morning we wake up to the news about the shelling of the territory of Russia. Kursk, Bryansk, Belgorod, air defense works in Voronezh, and Bankovaya. In contrast, Kyiv is still intact. Diplomats begin to return to the capital of Ukraine, because it is safe. We need to fix this somehow.
Seems like attacking Russian territory is becoming a daily event. The response to “Target the decision makers” in the event of attacks on Russian territory seems like an idle threat much like the threat to “Target arms convoys.” I think Russia should either do what it says it is going to do, or stop talking about it. The lack of a response is really hurting morale.
On the topic of the final question….the power of the ‘jews’, it’s not a Jewish issue it is a Zionist issue, and not all Jews are Zionists. Many WASPs are dyed in the wool Zionist and committed to the cause.
Cheers M
I just wanted to leave two notes to Mr. Matyanov. In Europe democracies have a Constitution with all the rights like in the USA. Even very identical as the political systems are also very identical. In the USA there is a President who won the elections and a Congress that in Europe is called Parliament. Where the Prime Minister’s Government of the political party that won the elections is scrutinized by the deputies elected by all parties. As is the case with most parliamentary democracies. The oldest Democracy in the world is England with Parliament in Westminster. In the case of England it is a Constitutional Monarchy because it still has a Queen who is more of a symbol, a Constitution with general law and a Government with a PM that won the elections. France is more like the US and Russia where there is also a Constitution and a Duma. In France, too, there is a constitution and the people elect a President – as in the US – who chooses the members of their government. It was only in Monarchies in the past that there were no Constitutions. With the emergence of democracies, the Constitution is always the general law of the country. Although then there are the other legal Codes. Civilians, criminals, etc. In democracies where the judiciary is always independent of political power. Only in Dictatorships does the dictator control all powers.
But go ahead because I also agree with Mr. Martyanov. What would plot the world from the 80s of the SEC XX was neo-liberalism, which basically had already produced the 1929 Wall Street crash that also helped the 2nd World War. Because financial power gained a lot of power and was not regulated. We are now more or less the same across the West. The financial system without regulation again, with the banks and the richest doing what they want. And then there was the 2008 subprime crash that nearly destroyed America. Today 1% of the richest people already own 90% of the world’s wealth. As in Feudalism. With globalization they take companies wherever they want, always looking for the cheapest labor to make more profit. And the worst thing is that they hide the money in tax havens to avoid paying taxes and that money should remain in the economy. The solution is undoubtedly to re-regulate the financial system as FDR did in 1929. The last subprime crash in 2008 was only possible after America annulled one of Roosevelt’s last laws The Glass-Stegall law that everyone should have I want to talk. That maintained the investment banking that generates all the credit bubbles of the commercial banking that most people use. In my opinion it was also good that in the USA there was, like in Europe and Russia, a free National Health System. Because health should never be a business. And the same for school. But I will end with a topic that I find very sad for all Europeans like me. The complete subordination of the EU to the US as seen now in Ukraine. The EU really needs Russian energy and should always have a good relationship with Russia. It turns out that the US sees the EU as a competing economic bloc and wants to weaken Russia. The alliance with China drove the USA crazy, And now with the whole global south as Pepe Escobar says and very well. By the way, I’m also an economist. I believe in a multilateral world in which all nations respect each other and I end up with just two numbers:
Before the subprime crash of 2008, the EU economy was slightly larger than the US economy: $16.2 trillion to $14.7 trillion. In 2020, the US economy grew to $20.9 trillion and the European economy went down to $15.7 trillion. From almost equal in 2008, the US economy is now one third larger than the EU and UK economy combined. And the war in Ukraine will only exacerbate this trend with much more expensive oil and gas for European industry. Incidentally, the US has not even built the special boats it needs to transport the LNG to Europe from the contracts it has already signed after declaring the Nord Stream II dead. One of the great reasons for the Ukraine war. Where the US seeks to weaken Russia and the EU. And Nato has always been an arm of Washington’s foreign policy in Europe.
Why don’t you quote Alexandr Solhenitsyn’s comments about All Jews not being Bolsheviks ; but All Bolsheviks being JEWS?.
Yes, he was demented. Loved Franco and wanted the yanks to drop an atom bomb on Vietnam
Hi Andrei
Just to add to the answer regards the western war on Russia,
Brezininski the neocons and Quincy aside it is actually perfidious Albion you forgot to mention.. That often leads (from fleet street) the US sentiments etc..
