Life often seems like one long never ending Asch conformity experiment: even when there is overwhelming evidence that something is “A”, the media, and those zombified by it, confidently state “non-A”. That this kind of doublethink is also applied to the conflict in the Ukraine should surprise nobody, but it is still important to “call a stone and stone” and to give a clear and unambiguous characterization of what has happened so far and what is about to happen this Sunday.
So today I want to re-state the obvious using the most direct and unambiguous language possible. My hope is to contribute to wake up at least one comatose person out there by calling things by their proper names.
So far we have this: a thoroughly corrupt but democratically elected President (Yanukovich) was overthrown in an armed coup by (lavishly – 5 billion dollars) paid agents of a foreign power. The new regime is composed exclusively either of corrupt oligarchs (like Iatseniuk) or neo-Nazis (like Parubii). Regardless, this regime has received the full and unconditional support of the US/EU and all those client-states worldwide which depend on them.
The junta in power has unleashed a sustained campaign of terror against all those who dare to oppose it, including civilians (Odessa and Mariupol massacres) and their own armed forces (massacres near Volnovakha yesterday and near Lisichansk today). Since the regular police is now disbanded and since the regular armed forces are clearly unwilling to execute the criminal orders of this illegal junta, the sole power basis of this unelected regime are death squads like the “Donbass special battalion”.
Furthermore, while the US/EU have accused Russia of being behind all the troubles, not a single Russian spy, agent or saboteur has been produced in support of that thesis. In fact, not only has Russia not intervened in the Donbass, Putin has officially asked the people there to delay their referendum, he has withdrawn Russian forces from the border and he has even ordered Russian forces to move out of their regular bases if they were anywhere near the border.
At every single step of this crisis Russia has offered to negotiate with the US, the EU and even the junta. All refused except for the short lived February 21 agreement which the foreign agents broke the next day only to be immediately recognized by the US and EU as a legitimate government.
Not a single person was killed or seriously wounded during the Russian military operation in the Crimea. In contrast, the junta has now used machine guns, mortars, artillery, combat helicopters and combat aircraft against entire cities of the Donbass.
While the Russian social media is full of expressions of sympathy and compassion for those killed in the Ukraine, the Ukrainian social media is awash with hateful racist slurs about what they call the “colorads” (a kind of insect with the same colors as those on the Saint George ribbon). Other anti-Russians slurs used are “Moskal” and “Titushki“. Speaking of which, Iulia Timoshenko intercepted venting her hatred at the Russians in a telephone conversations in which she said that “these accursed Moskals should be executed with nuclear weapons“.
And now, in the middle of what can only be called a civil war, this regime of racist corrupt and bloodthirsty freaks will organize “Presidential elections” after two of the main opposition parties (Regions and Communists) had their offices firebombed, their representatives attacked, their deputies expelled from the rump Parliament and their supporters burned alive, shot, stabbed, clubbed to death, kidnap and tortured.
And, no doubt, the AngloZionists will declare these elections free and fair.
The above is not tragic or otherwise “disturbing”. It is obscene beyond words!
So let’s state is clearly: the “West” is supporting a Nazi farce which will only result in more blood and lost lives.
The second thing which needs to be stated with equal clarity is this: whatever regime is declared elected on Sunday (or in three weeks in case of a second round) it will have zero legitimacy and it will no be viable.
The third thing which everybody is desperately trying to pretend not to see is this: the Ukraine as a unitary country is gone and will never come back. The West has been working on this ugly experiment since the late 16th century and its objectives have not changed: to create an anti-Russian and anti-Orthodox “Ukraine” controlled by the Vatican and the Western plutocracy. So while the the US has invested 5 billion dollars into “democratizing” the Ukraine, the West has spent much more during FOUR CENTURIES to try to cripple Russia and subjugate its people. This is why the “West” is so adamant and willing to risk it all to prevent this 400 year old project from coming tumbling down.
And yet it is amazing that anybody sane could have seriously believed that this obscene alliance of ex-Communists (Farion), Jewish oligarchs (Kolomoiskii), neo-Nazis (Iarosh), Latin Uniats (Tiagnibok) and racist thugs (Parubii) would ever succeed in building something. No, all that people like these can do is hate, destroy, kill, lie, torture and terrorize. There is no “creative capacity” in folks like Parubii, Liashko, Turchinov or Tiagnibok. There is only the characteristic Satanic hatred for light, for peace, for truth, for freedom and for love. And, frankly, I believe that the same is true for those who lovingly nurtured them for years and now unconditionally support them: Obama, McCain, Nuland of course, but also Hollade, Merkel, Hague, Ashton and the rest of them Eurobureaucrats.
So there. I did it. I said it in plain language, I bolded out the parts I wanted to stress and even added some red color to what I consider the most important. Childish? Maybe. Am I venting? Yes, of course! What is wrong about venting when somebody sees an abomination being committed by a few evil men while the rest of mankind stands by in total, deafening, silence?
Of course, this post is not very academic or objective. So what!? François Rabelais once wrote “Science sans conscience n’est que ruine de l’âme” (“science without conscience is but the ruin of the soul”). When faced with such blatant evil supported by such blatant lies it is sometimes appropriate to set science aside for a while and let one’s conscience speak out.
I want to conclude this post with these beautiful words of Yehuda Bower who encapsulate the entire philosophy of this blog:
Thou shalt not be a perpetrator.
And above all,
Thou shalt not be a bystander
This is also my intention.

This piece by Yulia Ioffe has lapsed into a self-parody of bitchyness. If these grannies were pro-Maidan she would highlight them as heroic examples of people power, but instead putting their bodies in the way of Ukraine’s armored vehicles is seen as a dirty Kremlin trick. Ioffe even stoops to claiming that the evil babushkas have slipped sedatives into the pirozhoks they gave the hungry Ukrainian soldiers that they took pity on! I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at such outrageous but clownish propaganda. It just goes to show the most whorish elements of MSM can spin anything.
It is very difficult even as an Orthodox person to have much sympathy for Ioffe, though she obviously had a bad time in Moscow in a city where, like many other female journalists, few men payed attention to her. If you think that is hitting Yulia below the belt consider how much longer male Western journalists tend to stay in Moscow versus female, even when they churn out consistently turgid anti-Kremlin copy week after week whereas Ioffe and Miriam Elder tend to flee Moscow finding it hellish enough over such indignities as tough dry cleaning ladies and the like.
Where is Yulia’s compassion, at least feigned, for the poor old ladies brainwashed by Russian TV? At least Shaun Walker of the Guardian and Max Seddon of Buzzfeed manage to mask their contempt for the locals claims that Right Sector has been sent to kill them with faked empathy.
May the fake Lefty neocon Empire rag New Republic and the fake Righty neocon Empire National Review rag/War Street Journal be blotted from memory.

I had never heard of the Asch Experiment, but have long wondered about the ‘blindness’ afflicting most people. (“…darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people…” Isaiah 60:2)
It finally occurred to me that 10,000 years ago, when we all lived in tribes that were culturally and philosophically pretty much static, there would have been strong survival value in adopting and defending the tribe’s beliefs. Anyone thinking ‘outside the box’ would have been a threat to the tribe and exiled, which would have meant death in those days. We have evolved to be ‘blind’ to ideas contrary to those taught to us at an early age. Cognitive dissonance prevents from entertaining ideas contrary to those first learned. Perhaps it is something like the ‘imprinting’ of ducklings – the first animate object they encounter becomes ‘mother.’ Those of us able to see in today’s world would not have survived millennia in the past – we are genetic aberrants. Our ‘blind’ companions are more to be pitied than censured – they literally cannot help themselves.

(Actually we are all to be pitied, given what the ‘blindness’ of the masses implies for the future…)

Excepting the historical perspective that you give at the end and is not the most important part, this post is not only right on, it is illuminating.

And an ugly landscape it is.
Thanks for reminding the Yehuda Bauer quote.
The Vatican. Right. Darn those Catholics running the US State Dept.
@His Majesty:arn those Catholics running the US State Dept.
Hardly. Since the famous Vernon Walters JP2 meeting its really the other way around. But yes, for most of the past 400-500 years is was the Vatican which, basically, “created” the Ukraine itself and then lovingly nurtured that hate-filled abomination (all ad majorem Dei gloriam, no doubt). You can be proud of it, or ashamed of it, but no sense denying it.

Phillip K. Dick, the California science fiction writer, once wrote in the midst of his mental breakdown, “The Empire never ended.” He referenced Rome. This empire rose from plunder and slavery. 2, 000 years later with nuclear weapons, poison gas, helicopter gunships, bombers and MIRV warheads, and other tools of the trade, this mindset continues. Bob Marley sang about this also, and he was murdered, as other poets and truth tellers are murdered. And yet, truth like the sun, shines on. The Western Empire has been in it’s death throes since WWI and in one final convulsion strikes out at Russia in desperate hope that by doing so it can continue to enslave and plunder.
Saker, this forthright, hard-hitting summary is really well done. As many people as possible should have the opportunity to read it. And you even managed to avoid typos!
Saker,
Let me second everything Alexis TK27 said, especially
“After having climbed a long time on a mountain, one can look behind at the path walked on… and only then discover in a single moment the whole landscape. I feel that this is what you just did.”
Thank you for stating so clearly and describing so precisely the Evil that Ukraine — and all of us — are now facing. Because truly we are all in it together. Even those who choose to look away are making a choice.
But if we do not actively and intelligently try to somehow stop this Evil (though I’ll be darned if I can figure out how) aren’t we then still bystanders? What *can* we do besides trying to inform others of what’s really being done in their name and with their tax dollars? It’s so wrong to just sit back and let this happen.
I think this is THE definitive piece on the situation in Ukraine. May I have permission to repost (with full attribution and links of course)?
C Stegiel,
Ouch.
But yes.
It is a sordid business.
Let us see what this “election” throws up. I don’t know what Poroshenko (looks like he may win in the first round) will do. Probably nothing but he talks of unity and the military option is showing itself to smoke but very little fire. Now as to whether the newly “elected” regime will be viable remains to be seen. If they keep doing the same thing the junta had been doing, the eastern and southern provinces will sequentially fall into the Russian Federation. If they accelerate their Russophobic policies (don’t see how much worse they can do this without really alienating the populace and bringing about REAL bloodshed….. think Syria or Iraq), Putin will take the gloves off. And Putin has a great number of options and advantages using proxies, etc. etc. I’m thinking outside the box and just cursory ideas open wide avenues. Or the newly “elected “ regime could turn everything upside down (some interesting options here). Realistically speaking, if Putin wanted to give the “kiss of death” to any candidate, all he had to do was to “endorse” him. Granted the field was full of shit, but none the less, a first round victory could have been denied to any candidate. But then I have a suspicious mind.
I’m probably grasping at straws. But to me it seems that Putin has time, money, a level head, strong support within Russia (and some interesting support in Europe) and good intelligence on his side. Against him are ranged a bunch of buffoons. What Putin needs to do is separate the buffoons from the useful idiots.

What if they never wanted to rule Ukraine as a whole, but wanted her bloody destruction and rebirth of nationally pure Ukraine from the ash shorn of the impure southwestern parts?

Anonymous suggested that “10,000 years ago, when we all lived in tribes that were culturally and philosophically pretty much static, there would have been strong survival value in adopting and defending the tribe’s beliefs. Anyone thinking ‘outside the box’ would have been a threat to the tribe and exiled, which would have meant death in those days.”
Without meaning any slander to Anonymous, I suggest that his/her statement is an example of programmed Asch effect.
In fact, we are completely ignorant of the cultural practices and philosophical beliefs of folks from 10,000 years ago. Among hunter/gatherers I would rather think that ‘static’ belief systems could be deadly and that pragmatic approaches to life would yield far better results for the ‘tribe’. As for thinking ‘outside’ the box, What box? There is no box in the wide open spaces of hunter/gatherers.
The ancients (two to three thousand years ago) spoke of the past as a Golden Age, a past in which every mote was turned easily into a bridge over the abyss. It was Darwin’s (unspoken) and Herbert Spencer’s (shouted) idea of what we now call social Darwinism or social evolution that turned the concept of a golden age into the concept of ‘primitive’ tribesmen, of static societies. Of course, the unspoken thought behind social Darwinism was that the pinnacle of social evolution was. . .the English gentleman.
What is the relevance of my comment?
First, the Asch effect is the direct result of industrialized society in which one must follow the demands of the factory, whether it be a dark satanic mill, a dark satanic office, a dark satanic fast food joint or a dark satanic university degree mill. The worker who does not quickly accept the boss’s organizational lies quickly becomes unemployed.
Second, the marshaling of opinion is an intensely studied science or art, a set of concepts and technologies intensely and constantly used in modern times for the control of many by the few. Though priestly castes have used similar methods for several millennia, modern psychologists and modern technologies take manipulation to infinitely higher levels.
Third, I rather think that the ‘plight’ of the ‘poor Ukrainians’ as presented in western media and as believed by most of those in the west is just another example of social Darwinism: “We in western Europe and North America are so very evolved. The poor, primitive (but gentle) Ukrainians are being threatened by the far more primitive (and violent) Russians–you know those Asiatic, culturally inferior beings.”
Add to all this the millennium-long belief in western Europe that any place east of where I live is more primitive. Note also the Roman Catholic antipathy to the Orthodox church and Protestant belief that Orthodoxy is just another form of Roman Catholicism. Note also the sack of Constantinople by western European crusaders equating Orthodoxy with. . .Islam.
What is one to do? Absent an understanding of the disputes leading up to the great schism and the ‘filioque’, absent knowledge of the crusaders’ sack of Constantinople, absent an understanding of the history of Crimea for the last 2,500 years, absent reading Boris Kagarlitsky’s Empire of the Periphery, how is one to understand the situation in Ukraine? It will be a tough row to hoe!
I suggest to Anonymous that he/she read the first two or three chapters of Karl Polanyi’s The Great Transformation for an understanding of ‘primitive’ societies and the slander they have suffered from social Darwinists.
Saker, I thank you for your insights. I await them every day.
Macon Richardson (23:35)
You’re right – I know next to nothing about ancient anthropology – my background is in engineering. I extrapolate from the little I’ve read about fairly modern aboriginals. It is my understanding that most (all?) aboriginal peoples hold beliefs about the origins and maintenance of the World (as do we, of course). It is difficult for me to even imagine a group of intelligent beings having language NOT developing a belief system, but of course I can’t prove that.
In any case, my quest is to understand why so many of my friends and relatives are so resistant to virtually any idea contrary to the official government position. Why are so many people ‘blind?’ There must be some reason for it. If you don’t care for my analysis, then please help me understand the reason for the darkness.
I will have a look at Polanyi’s book. It was certainly never my intent to slander ‘primitive’ societies, in fact, I feel that in many cases they have more merit than Western ‘civilization.’ About all we have going for us these days is technology, which I do know well and think less and less of as I age.

saker -your quote “he second thing which needs to be stated with equal clarity is this: whatever regime is declared elected on Sunday (or in three weeks in case of a second round) it will have zero legitimacy and it will no be viable.”
but [putin himslef said that he will legitimise the result of the fraudulent election.! what a betrayl by Russia of russians! what is the use of all military hardware and spy agencies when you cnanot defend even your own race from evil anglosaxons?
Saker, you mention terror, one of the most abused political terms, early in your excellent piece. “Terrorism” was used by Burke to describe government by intimidation of Jacobins. Such government works hand in hand with death squads. It’s no surprise that the US government which has been behind almost countless coups and has an academy to train death squads also gave us the term “War on Terrorism”

Self-defense of Donbas appeals to the soldiers of Ukrainian army
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9mKH-7zvVo&list=UU1ZNeFDz-R2CGyLDRHCpo_A&index=21
This is the sort of propaganda I have hoped to see from Donbas. But even more than to Ukr Army I’d like to hear an appeal to Ukraine people in other regions who must be coming to realize they’re all in danger now. The honeymoon will soon be over.
All the hysteria about elections not being ruined by Russian troops on border or by Donbas provocation is pretty silly. If Poroshenko doesn’t get elected it won’t be Russia’s doing. I wonder if he has enough clout to be free to make his own appointments or adopt policies e.g. direct negotiation with Donbas leaders. Can he appoint PM of his choice?
Outside of Kiev local elections for Donbas are the only part affected by failure of Kiev to pacify. Well what did they expect when for almost two months they’ve made no efforts at all to talk to Donbas about a peaceful solution.
Others have wondered at the peculiarity of a “revolutionary” change of regime while the parliament stays on.

DEMOCRACY, a word used by English terrorists, to attack a sovereign country, steal its natural resources, and murder its population.
us/uk foreign policy is all about dictating to nations,war, US/uk is a rogue state,international outlaws.
G-bay,drone attacks,black prisons,CIA instigating coups,supplying terrorists with weapons,that is US/uk.
Democracy=fraud of anglosaxon pirate turned shopkeepers race.
Everyone ought to know by now, that democracy is only what the british imperialists and the US say it is! Elections in any part of the world are not democratic, unless conducted as per the corrupt and irregular election in US; hanging chads of Florida, and the supreme court selected president G.W. Bu$h foisted upon the US electorate ought to be the yard stick that “all” ought to aspire to. It is pitiful to see british controlled US and its lackeys too busy subverting the will of the people across the planet; by force, by hook and by crook.
Disputing elections that do not turn out according to anglo-American wishes, has become a subversive method of the british-American policy and its local allies. Every time that the local elements of American imperialism lose an election they call foul. The least that America and its stooges hope to achieve is to blacken the name of the majority government and build on it using imperialism’s propaganda machine. This scenario has been repeated to death and as a result nations of the world do not take it seriously anymore. Every time that America accuses a government of election wrongdoing, it is immediately clear that the elections were clean and legal.”

Quote is pieced together from both.
“…Now to close …. and I won’t go on for long. But just on a note of motivation and hope — and I hope some of the questions will get into what we can do …. I want to remind you of what I said the last time I was here. Admiral LaRocque, when I went to ask him: “Admiral, what can I tell people to do about these problems.” And he said: “This is a wonderful question. Tell them that you know what you’re capable of, what your skills are, what you can do.” He said: “I tell people, if they can write, to write letters. Write articles. Write books. Write telegrams. If they can travel, go to Nicaragua. Go to Germany. See for yourself. Understand the World so that you can witness and discuss this intelligently.”
He said he tells people: “If you feel comfortable lying down in front of trucks with bombs on them, do it…’What can I do?’…. If you can travel, go to Nicaragua and see for yourself. Go to the Nevada test site and see for yourself. Go to Pantex on Hiroshima day this summer, and see the vigil there. The place where we make 10 nose-cones a day, 70 a week, year in and year out. He [Admiral LaRocque] said, “I’d tell them, if they feel comfortable lying down in front of trucks with bombs on them, to lie down in front of trucks with bombs on them.” But he said, “I’d tell them that they can’t wait. They’ve got to start tomorrow, today, and do it, what they can, every day of their lives.”
the most important thing to know is that the US Govt is simply a puppet organization that works for Anglo-American Imperialists that span Wall Street AND the City of London. The greater field of operations is via NATO countries in general. The US and UK sit at the head of a crime boss style ring with other Eurocrats now at the table as their deputies. The england side to the Anglo-American Empire is always overlooked and takes second fiddle to the American side, but it is now becoming evident that the City of London seems very much to have retained a central and more than equal role than Wall Street in the covert operations that they both partake in via the CIA and MI6.

G’day Macon Richardson,
Thank you for your thoughtful contribution.
‘Social Darwinism’ is indeed the guts of the false societal paradigm spread by Anglo-based Judaics to mislead humanity.
And thanks Saker for your continued insightful commentary on the current Ukrainian situation. Arguably though, you need to find a more accurate term to describe the thugs sporting National Socialist regalia and chanting racist slogans because calling them “Nazis” is not only continuing the Judaic created libel of National Socialists but it also perpetuates the “politically incorrect” RACIST imagery that distorts humanity’s perceptions of the German nation and thus conceals the true perpetrators of WWII and the global chaos experienced ever since. Germans didn’t cause WWII and they are not responsible for EU and NATO policies because they are an occupied nation covertly controlled by Judaics.

As if to herald this eruption of consciousness the Camelopardalid meteor shower is about to get underway.
North Americans are in the best position to view it with 200-1000 meteors per hour expected between 2 and 4am eastern standard time.
A very concise exposition of the situation. Unfortunately the Western elite, and their ever mendacious MSM droogs, are evil personified. Anyone with the least knowledge of history knows that during those 400 years as the West worked to destroy Russia, they were also engaged in the greatest act of genocide in history- the destruction of the indigenous cultures of the ‘New World’ and the mass enslavement of Africans, followed by the occupation of their lands and brutal colonial exploitation marked by horrors like the hecatomb in the Belgian Congo, where ten million were killed by the Belgian colonialists and millions more deliberately maimed as punishments, including children. They were also busy exploiting India resulting in numerous Great Famines, with tens of millions of avoidable deaths, the last as recent as the Great Bengal Famine of the 1940s, that killed ten million. And the English engaged in the greatest drug-running operation in history, the forced opium trade in China a country that suffered tens of millions of deaths due to 200 years of Western malevolence.
Russia, ought, I believe, forge a global anti-Western alliance, starting with China, Hezbollah and Iran, and Venezuela and Brazil, both being furiously subverted at the moment by Uncle Satan. The alternative is that one country after another will be subverted, civil war fomented and they will suffer the horrors of Somalia, Sudan, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Angola, the Congo, Rwanda, Mozambique etc.
C. Stiegel, the dying Western Real Evil Empire, led, as is inevitable under Market Fundamentalist capitalism, by psychopaths who are empowered by the system, knows that its days are numbered. So it is rolling the dice of death one last time, to destroy the few remaining independent states. The imposition of the confidence-man Obama, a creature of Chicago Judaic Mafiosi like the Pritzker crime family, was seen as a clever ploy to confuse the gullible. Obama, the archetypal Uncle Tom and ‘House Negro’ of Malcolm X’s usage, has kept the Bush policies of a global War of Terror intact, and begun the intensive preparations for war with Russia and China. The actual start of WW3 was probably the fraudulent ‘Arab Spring’ false-flag operation, a regime renewal effort in Egypt, with a new fascist butcher and US and Israeli favourite installed, and the two remaining independent states Libya and Syria destroyed.
The Ukraine is the madness of truly desperate lunatics, risking nuclear annihilation, but the Western elites, thoroughly penetrated and controlled by Judeofascists, have clearly adopted Israel’s ‘Samson Operation’, to destroy all that they cannot control. If they cannot rule the world, they will destroy it. It’s that simple.
Dear Saker –
I sense your pain and frustration and can sympathize, having been a student of Russian History for over 50 years. Our emotions are a knife-edge because of the evil we are witnessing. But I ask all to also remember:
1. Russia cannot engage her enemies on the ground of their choosing. To survive the millennia-old war that has been waged against her, she must be disciplined and focused. She is a 1400-year-old civilization and must remember that to win out she must be patient and choose her ground.
2. Russia cannot bend to the timescale of her enemies. She MUST set her own time for confrontation–a time that she can win with the fewest casualties and damage to her society.
3. Russia and China are both waging battle by peaceful means against the Anglo-American Empire in matters of trade. This in itself puts a lie to the Western press’ screeching of “Russian invasion.” The more the Western press is exposed to be lying, even to its own people, the greater the discontent will be. It is a very tight chess match to play, but must be done.
4. Strength against strength is just what the West wants so they can re-write history with Russia as the villain. Every time they are proven to be empty propagandists, they lose more of the over all informational war. This is important in today’s connected world.
Finally, we must remember, in spite of our deep pain at the Ukraine’s suffering, that the rules of war till apply. We can spread the word by posts like this one, write our representatives to remind them that not all of us are fooled, and keep searching for the truth. It is a long, vicious war between evil and good. We must all join the war any way that we can and encourage others to do the same, but remember always that the rules of war apply to all. It is truly a war and this is the agonizing latest battle.
As a reminder to those who think Poroshenko is any improvement, his remark about Ukraine not accepting any more Crimeas should be all that is needed to see what side he is on.
As a UCLA Bruin, I dislike Southern California U, but the Trojan motto, “Fight on!” certainly applies here.
God Bless,

Why is she so much appreciated? Only because she is is a Russian-American journalist and blogger of Russian-Jewish descent?
I live in Auckland, New Zealand and the very few times I have (mistakenly) heard the on the hour headlines on radio on the way to work I have been horrified.
Ten seconds on a barrage of baseless allegations and a self righteous punchline about Russia is what Kiwis get.
It is as if the whole media here is being broadcasted from Pluto. It is akin to living in an alternate universe when you are in a vassal client-state.
What you so clearly say can never be said even in its most mild-verbose-tongue-in-cheek form. So much for a “free” media.
Its the saddest state of affairs what’s going on in Ukraine. When the OSCE, UN & other organisations that are supposed to be for freedom, peace and democracy are pressured (and you could argue controlled) by Washington into siding with them and doing their bidding, how is anyone supposed to bring Washington, NATO & the EU to justice in a world court?
Their is so much evidence against them for their war crimes in the middle east and now Ukraine but who can stop Washington and their billionaire backers?

That is one of the fullest, most beautifully stated set of words I think I’ve ever read. Thank you!

If you’re wondering why all of our “Western” media keep singing the same tune, here is where they get them:

And here is how it works:

The Saker’s well-justified rant is now to be seen at Calling Things by their Proper Names. Links to this page are welcome.
Maybe it will make some brainwashed consumers of the lies of the Western MSM think twice about what they are being told by CNN, the New York Times, the BBC, etc. Even the formerly respectable UK Guardian has now become a Western propaganda outlet.
Experiment design is a function of purpose.
Evaluation is in some regard a function of expectation.
Expectation is in some regard a function of purpose.
Subliminally expectation holds that larger quantities are of more significance than smaller quantities.
Quantities are functions of the unit of measure chosen and comparatives tend to lie in a linear spectrum.
Subliminally the notion that results are context and time specific is de-emphasised.
The usual “authorities” cited are Asch and Milgram.
If Asch and Milgram’s detailed works of circa 60 years ago were evaluated in the light of all of the above, I would suggest that the authority would fall.
Turning now to why/why not vent, which as ever is a function of purpose.
Why not includes but is not limited to:
1. An explosion is a process of compression and expansion. To vent is to hamper compression and hence explosion.
2. Venting can be evidence of discomfort which will give comfort to your opponent in so far as the opponent evaluates that his strategy and the premisses upon which it is based is vaid.
3. Venting can give data to your opponent of the specific areas in which you are vulnerable.
4. Venting can adversely affect the morale of your co-operators.
Why vent includes but is not limited to:
1. To encourage others to vent thereby sourcing useful data to evaluate.
2. To deliver misinformation to disorient your opponent.
3. To reinforce the mapping and prejudices of your opponent.
I will cover another item in a different section on your pack of cards etc.
Your opponent has most probably assessed that your Achilles heel are your notions of fairness and right, including the strategic limitations for you that entails.
As you outlined in another blog it is going to be a long non-linear ride so better to be prepared.
Traditional Russian Nazis lie
Dear Saker,
I have to repeat the coment
“Excepting the historical perspective that you give at the end and is not the most important part, this post is not only right on, it is illuminating.”
It is absolutely true. Yes, we came to the point, when we get to the edge of the cliff as a humanity.The good news is that there are countles of blogs similar to yours who are talking about the same terror for centuries just for a benefits of few.
Of course every single person is criticized of the conspiracy what else can these desperate psychopaths can do, just non- stop make someone guilty again and again.
If nothing,here is the confirmation of the very god and processional liar Mrs.Nuland and her desperate “Once more or again” she really would like to stress that they are not going to give up this game till last minute even they will destroy the all world.
These sickening people and fanatics will get what they deserve.
Yes,Ukraine is in that desperate situation and the Empire is still want to keep going even there is no country around the world which wasn’t affected by their treason and brutality.
Saker your words were written from your heart not just for the sake of the Ukraians, but for the sake of the all humanity and I’m positive most of the readers here were sending out this message to most of their friends and relatives.
Yes. the fight is on, at the same time more and more people around the world can see that their countries were never in this huge financial debt as they are right now, it has never happened in the history of this world.
Even Switzerland finally stand up against the tyranny.
We just have to hope that the final decision are going to be the best for the all humanity. Empire is on their last legs and very, very desperate. Lies are getting exposed day by day in every single country around the world the is no power to stop this process and it is going to play into our cards and not into the Empire’s cards.
Even the situation is very scary, I’m very positive that the final outcome is going to be a big victory for all of the humanity around the world.
