What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow / Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man, / You cannot say, or guess, for you know only / A heap of broken images, where the sun beats, / And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief, / And the dry stone no sound of water. Only / There is shadow under this red rock, / (Come in under the shadow of this red rock), / And I will show you something different from either / Your shadow at morning striding behind you / Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you; / I will show you fear in a handful of dust.
T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land: I. The Burial of the Dead, 1922
This glimpse of “fear in a handful of dust” already ranks as one the prime breakthroughs of the young 21st century, presented this week by Chief of Russian Radiation, Chemical, and Biological Protection Force Igor Kirillov.
The provisional results of evidence being collected about the work of U.S. bioweapons in Ukraine are simply astonishing. These are the main takeaways.
- U.S. bioweapon ideologues comprise the leadership of the Democratic Party. By linking with non-governmental biotechnology organizations, using the investment funds of the Clintons, Rockefellers, Soros and Biden, they profited from additional campaign financing – all duly concealed. In parallel, they assembled the legislative basis for financing the bioweapons program directly from the federal budget.
- COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers Pfizer and Moderna, as well as Merck and Gilead – of Donald “known unknowns” fame, and affiliated with the Pentagon – were directly involved.
- U.S. specialists tested new drugs in the Ukraine biolabs in circumvention of international safety standards. According to Kirillov, acting this way “Western companies seriously reduce the costs of research programs and gain significant competitive advantages.”
- According to Kirillov, “along with U.S. pharmaceutical companies and Pentagon contractors, Ukrainian government agencies are involved in military biotechnology activities, whose main tasks are to conceal illegal activities, conduct field and clinical trials and provide the necessary biomaterial.”
- The Pentagon, Kirillov pointed out, expanded its research potential not only in terms of producing biological weapons, but also gathering information on antibiotic resistance and the presence of antibodies to certain diseases among the population in specific regions. The testing ground in Ukraine was practically outside the control of the so-called “international community”.
These findings, amply documented, suggest a vast “legitimized” bioweapon racket reaching the highest levels of the American body politic. There’s no doubt the Russians plan to thoroughly unmask it for the benefit of world public opinion, starting with a War Crimes Tribunal to be set up this summer, most probably in Donetsk.
An ongoing U.S. bioweapons program in Ukraine was one of the Top Three reasons that led to the launch of Operation Z, side by side with preventing an imminent NATO-managed blitzkrieg against Donbass and Kiev’s desire to re-start a nuclear weapons program. These are Top Three red lines for Russia.
The strength of the collected evidence may directly correlate with what was largely interpreted as a carefully measured Victory Day speech by President Putin. The Kremlin does not bluff. It will certainly privilege the meticulous presentation of – bioweapon – facts on the ground over grandstanding rhetoric.
The return of Nord Stream 2
Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Dmitry Polyaniskiy announced Russia’s demand for an open meeting of the UN Security Council to present further evidence related to U.S. biolabs in Ukraine. Even if the meeting would be vetoed by the U.S., the evidence will be entered by Russia on the UN records.
These developments provide an extra indication there’s absolutely no space left for diplomacy between Russia and the U.S./collective West, as Polyaniskiy himself suggested when commenting the possible accession of Ukraine to the EU: “The situation has changed after Mr. Borrell’s statement that ‘this war should be won on the battleground’ and after the fact that the European Union is the leader in deliveries of arms [to Ukraine].”
It gets worse. The next chapter is Finland’s drive to join NATO.
The Americans gamble that Finland – and Sweden – joining NATO will totally discredit Putin’s Operation Z as having accomplished next to nothing strategically: after all, in the near future, potential U.S. hypersonic missiles stationed in Finland and Sweden will be very close to Saint Petersburg and Moscow.
Meanwhile, Russian unmasking of the bioweapon racket will drive a toxic section of American political elites to turbo-charge their warmongering. It’s all following a carefully calculated script.
First, these bioweapon-supervising “elites” ordered the massive Kiev shelling of Donbas in early February. That forced the Kremlin’s hand, pushing it to launch Operation Z.
We should always remember that the ultimate goal in the U.S. plan of training Ukrainians for war since 2014 was to alienate Germany from Russia – as Germany de facto controls Euroland economically.
Imperial control of the oceans allows the Empire to strangle Germany at will into subservience by cutting them off from Russian energy – as the British did to Germany in WWII when Britannia ruled the waves. The Wehrmacht could not supply their mechanized army with fuel. Now, in theory, Germany and the EU will have to look to the seas – and total U.S. dependency – for their natural resources.
The remote-controlled Kiev regime dominated by SBU fanatics and Azov neo-Nazis is making it even harder – by shutting off all natural gas from Russia through Ukraine into Europe, reducing the flow by more than one third.
That translates as U.S.-enforced blackmail to force the EU to increase the Ukro-weaponizing against Russia. The practical consequences for Germany and the EU will be dire – in terms of shut down industries and cost of home heating and electrical power.
Russia, meanwhile, will rely on a bolstered Pipelineistan maze to China and East Asia as well as high-speed rail to transport all its natural resources.
Blowback against the Americans though is not off limits. Stranger things have happened. If gas transit to Europe via Ukraine is totally cut off, there are no alternatives. And that – assuming there are working IQs in Berlin – would open the way for a renegotiation on the future of Nord Stream 2.
As the head of the Energy Development Center Kirill Melnikov notes, “the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline is practically idle and one of the Nord Stream 2 lines is also ready for operation though the German regulator has not issued permission for its launch yet.”
That prompted Melnikov to a priceless comment: “If purchases remain the same, Germany will probably need to urgently allow the launch of one of the Nord Stream 2 lines in order to replace the Ukrainian transit route.”
No one ever lost money betting on the astonishing stupidity permeating EUrocrat decision levels. Even facing economic suicide, the EU is desperate to “abandon” Russian oil. Yet a full ban is impossible, because of energy-deprived Eastern Europe.
Every impartial energy analyst knows replacing Russian oil is D.O.A., for a number of reasons: the OPEC+ deal; the ghastly divide between Washington and Riyadh; the never-ending JCPOA renegotiation, where the Americans behave like headless chickens; and the crucial fact – beyond the understanding of EUrocrats – that European oil refineries are designed to use oil from the Urals.
So just when we thought we could enjoy the summer by watching Europe commit hara-kiri, it’s time to stock up on those Aperol Spritz. Get ready for a new hit series, season 1: Inside the American bioweapon racket.
The American one percentage don’t mind that stupid Europeans have funneled money into their pockets at the expense of their people.
The people suffering are well Americans and Europeans.
The strange phenomenon of runaway inflation in the U.S combined with a strong U.S dollar shows who’s winning…you guessed it the one percentage top!
Come in suckers!
The money printing has resulted in inflation, because it’s either that or the wall st rabble lose. The US would have to default, if it didn’t pass on that inflation on. That’s what printing more money gets it. And you have these pieces of crap like janet ‘hooknose’ yellen and other scum from the western financial crime syndicate telling us that inflation is a good thing-yeah, for them, not for the 99%. Don’t hold your breath for a dramatic increase in pay in the US or EU.
“Money printing” (actually credit expansion) doesn’t work any more, though, because the cack-handed “sanctions” have made it clear no one can hold assets in dollars or teh US will grab them when they feel like it, so everyone will move to demanding payment in their own currency, which means no more exporting inflation, which means financial collapse.
Guess you know the Chinese yuan replaced the US dollar in reserve currency.
The US owes over 20 trillion dollars with no way to pay it back.
We should always remember that the ultimate goal in the U.S. plan of training Ukrainians for war since 2014 was to alienate Germany from Russia – as Germany de facto controls Euroland economically.”
In 2014 , the US CIA deposed Ukraine’s lawfully elected president and then installed a puppet.
The puppet shelled his own people who were not loyal enough to the occupation. Have read several places that 14,000 were killed.
And then there were the bioweaponry labs built. Last read 30. …as dr fauci calls it gain of function . Read more virulent and contagious.
In a sane world, Putin would receive the Nobel Peace Prize for stopping and exposing the USNATO bioweapons project, and the those involved would face war crimes trials.
As it is…
@James J O’Meara
As it is, Zelensky will get it….
If you look at the names of some of the previous winners on the list then the cock playing piano comic should win the prize.
The same way Tony Blair was given a ‘global legacy award’ by the charity Save the Children.
Pricks win Prizes!…
Wouldn’t that be “the piano playing cock comic”?
You hum it son, I’ll play it….😉
More probably some Azov high brass, preferably one who ordered and personally participated in torturing, raping and killing Russian “subhumans”.
Norwegian Nobel Committee is a nest for delusional, self aggrandizing, mediocre “intellectuals” representatives for Norwegian parliamentary political parties i.e. completely partisan and in the Nato/New World Order service.
I wouldn’t be surprised if one day Nato general secretary (Norwegian national) Jens Stoltenberg would become a member of the Committee.
All these western clubs are staffed by mediocrities. They can only give each other, and their buddies awards and commendations for being loyal adherents to the US-led order. That’s all this is all bout.
The Nobel – committee isn’t something to aim for – that’s a consolation prize for party-faithfuls.
Stoltenberg was to become head of the central bank of Norway, but chose to stay in NATO because Biden wanted him to.
He is what Norwegians call ” A broiler” (grilled chicken) – groomed for politics from youth, with a cand.oecon in macro-economics. Where the world is their oyster.
Since he couldn’t get us to join EU, the only other option is the UN.
In clown world Oconto won the Nobel prize then started droning weddings.
Let’s be fair — there are many qualified Ukrainian scientists who need jobs. It’s only right that the U.S. government provide assistance:
“Joint Programs to Employ Former WMD Scientists Approximately 10 percent of Ukraine’s scientists, technicians, and engineers formerly were involved in developing WMD for the Soviet Union. These scientists developed missile technologies, ballistic missile guidance systems, biological weapons technology, nuclear weapons, and chemical weapons.The United States and the countries of the EU have security concerns regarding the conventional emigration of these specialists to other countries, in search of higher pay and work in their specialized fields. As a result, the EU and the United States have worked with the Ukrainian government to set up several programs to help these specialists find meaningful work in Ukraine.”
From: “Ukraine’s Technology Center”, U.S. Federal Research Division, LOC, 2008, p. 34
https://archive.org/details/ukraine-technology-LOC-report
“meaningful work” — doesn’t that bring tears to your eyes? Who wants to see the children of WMD scientists run around shoeless?
And for those of you who tend to worry too much about these things, I think you’ll find that these remarks will put your mind at ease:
“Since its independence in 1991, Ukraine has not been engaged in either offensive or defensive biological weapons activities. However, under the Soviet regime, some Ukrainian antiplague research facilities were involved in biological warfare activities, for the most part defensive activities. The United States provides aid to Ukraine to improve security at facilities housing dangerous microbes. One lab to receive funding is the I. I. Mechnikov Antiplague Scientific and Research Institute, in the Black Sea port city of Odessa.”
https://archive.org/details/ukraine-technology-LOC-report , p. 58.
“…for the most part defensive activities…” — doesn’t that make you feel better?
for the most part…sure…😉
Tha thang about bioresearch these days, that most post-grad(or just major aspirations/talent) aficionados CAN – with a minimal budget – seriously and directionally alter dna – in a basement – on their own – for their own purposes.

Of these researchers how many are of the – woke type?
Prolly not one…
Also of interest:
“U.S. Awards $175 Million for Ukraine Biosecurity Measures” (Oct. 15, 2008):
“The U.S. Defense Department has awarded a Kansas company a five-year, $175 million contract to equip Ukraine with new measures to help prevent biological weapon attacks and proliferation, the Kansas City Business Journal reported yesterday…The contract further encompasses upgrades to existing Ukrainian laboratories that work with dangerous human and animal disease agents and for the construction of a secure storage center to permanently hold such material.”
https://web.archive.org/web/20100706201452/http://www.globalsecuritynewswire.org/gsn/nw_20081015_8063.php
The above-mentioned Kansas company, Black & Veatch, stated in a press release (2008):
“The U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has awarded Black & Veatch, a leading global engineering consulting and construction company, one of the agency’s major Biological Threat Reduction Integrating Contracts (BTRIC), with a collective ceiling of $4 billion over 10 years among the five selected contractors … The task order also includes enhancing the Ukraine’s existing network of human and veterinary diagnostic laboratories that handle especially dangerous pathogens, in addition to constructing a secure and permanent repository for pathogens.”
https://web.archive.org/web/20101029180201/http://bv.com/wcm/press_release/10142008_6705.aspx
The above raises the question: why did Ukraine need a “permanent repository for pathogens”?
It’s also worth noting that in 2007-2008, Black & Veatch PAC had contributed a total of $135,200 to federal candidates of both factions:
https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/black-veatch/C00012310/candidate-recipients/2008
I guess 2008 was a special year for Black & Veatch!
good year for them – bad year for us…
C`èst la guerre…till we – de-fund = de-capitate them…

Whenever the United States is involved or investing in something, you can be damn sure that it is for evil purposes, to serve it’s own interests, and certainly not for the benefit of others.
How about if Russia extends the same in Cuba or other American neighborhoods? The rules will change and so would the objections! America has no business to engage and develop bio weapons on other’s borders. The United States Of Adultery follows me jungle law, Might is Right.
The feedback loop of 1)Government Spending -> 2) Corporations -> 3) Political Donations is not unique to ‘bioweapons’. This exists throughout defense spending. I would guess that the makers of the F-35 have recycled at least some of the high price tag for those planes back to the congresspeople who voted for them.
This has long been one of the huge systematic obstacles in the US system that prevents a shift in funding from swords to plows. The sword makers always own the congress.
These days, it would be hard to find a congressperson who swears off all ‘defense’ funding. Both parties now regularly do the unthinkable and raise the budgets for weapons and war far above what is requested. Anyone who’s ever filled out a budget request in any organization knows how unthinkable it would be to get more than what is requested.
And, over the decades, the bullwark of the pro-war crowd has always been in the Republican Party. This always provided the firm reserve that would guarantee ever rising weapon budgets even when a few of those ‘soft-on-defense’ Democrats got elected. Now, the Merchants of Death have full control over both parties, and the soft-on-defense crowd has all been disappeared. I’m guessing there aren’t many Republicans around who’d refuse a big donation from lobbyists associated with Boeing or Raytheon or …
except Rand Paul – who blocked the 40b – for now.
Ye?
Otherwise You are correct – no diff.
Obama elected – less then 8 months – Nobel peace prize.
How many years did it take Mandela?
Left and right – Jeezas – it is worst and worst to me.
Over it.
Who drives the narrative? I mean DRIVES…not a reactionary of it?
with horses and arms and fanfares and gold?
The down and out, the voiceless, the down-beaten, the VICTIMS always the VICTIMS scream, Wiki, Assange, Snowden, they take up ALL resources of the ACLU…I know…sick of it…🙄
Over it.
except Rand Paul ?
What got into him? I always thought he was a typical R apparatchik but I am not from the USA so I may not understand US politics. In any case, kudos to him for this and for Putin may not have an excuse, but he does have a reason .
From what I have seen his father can be a bit nutty but when he gets it right he is spot on. Perhaps his son is evolving that way.
good genes, good family, education – ergo someone stripped of the fenomena to be regulatoryly captured…😁
I think Ron would exorcise Rand from the fam if he did not do what he had to.
Yet, it is a single voice.
There will be more…and more…
A start.
A single voice.
Representing the people – instead of showing the colors.
Good on Ya Paul Fam!
You raised an American!
Rand Paul is a Zionist.
He wants something out of this, in much the same way Erdogan is “opposed” to Finland joining NATO.
well…I did not say he was perfect…better than average?
Yup, saw a link recently to his Israel connections. He’s not working for US.
As with most of these people, they distract a lot to mislead their constituents, all the while filling their pockets from behind various curtains.
Also saw recently where Diane Feinstein, Rand Paul and Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) signed off on a internet security bill together, that caught my attention. Strange bedfellows……….or should I say chameleons.
Obama awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and it sits right next to the Kill List he has on his desk. Kill List Peace Prize it’s all the same story.
Rand is strict Austrian School monetarist, Ron runs the Austrian School libertarian peace and prosperity outfit.
Rand demanded an audit of the $40 billion – imagine that, an audit!
And he said he swore to defend the US Constitution, not a foreign nation – as well as saying that wrecking the US economy cannot save Ukraine.

Obama and Mandela don’t even belong in the same sentence. Mandela came out of Rikers Island ( a hard labor prison ) after 27 years imprisonment as a political prisoner and six months later was the leader of his country. He prevented a horrific bloodbath from occurring at that time. 25 million oppressed black people vs 5 million white people. Ask yourself what your mind set would be after being incarcerated for 27 years as a Political prisoner. Nelson Mandela was a REAL hero.
Winnie and Nelson enjoyed “necklacing” the opposition.
He was a communist to the core.
Mandela was not a “political prisoner.” And he was no hero. Mandela was a communist terrorist imprisoned for the bombing and murder of civilians, many of whom were women and children.
He was freed from prison and elevated to power by globalists through an “end apartheid” campaign psyop that swayed public opinion to the point of ethnomasochistic hysteria. The result was the wresting of control of SA from white authority.
What followed was a well-documented ethnic cleansing of the Boers in SA. Anti-white sentiment among black South Africans became endemic, and white people were robbed of their farms, homes, and possessions. The rampant robbery, rape, torture, and murder of whites in SA remains rampant to this day.
Joe Biden can hardly string 2 sentences together and like Yeltsin is just signing any document put in front of him if he’s on an earner. Public Funds making a few elites even richer.
LOL remember when in his first two days “in office” he was signing EO after EO that was placed in front of him. he dementedly laughed and said I don’t know what I’m signing”
Whitey House staff must be running out of mop-broom handles to keep this senile geriatric propped up with.
Never mind, Kamala Harris will be a ‘breath of fresh air’….God bless Disneyland!
Jeez man, is that ever a valid comparison –
I am McMurphy…
I am big good boy missa Ratchet…😁

We need some new conspiracy theories.
All the ones from 2020 are turning out to be facts.
.. something about this or that viral protein and stupid molecular biology tricks ..
What’s terrifying is that molecular biology, along with 3d printing and AI technology, are now within the grasp of your average Bond villain. It doesn’t even require an obscenely rich one like Musk.
An accident is more likely.
…as illustrated by the evolution of applied pyisix.
First come the discovery of the phenomena – then fine-tuning the measurements, definitions – then fitting it into the existing narrative.
As I see the historiography of “science” – it has been mostly a series of accidents…and a LOT of well intended dorks…
Sorry – couldnt do without ya!
Who needs Bond villains when there’s the Outlaw US Empire that filled with such villains!
Conspiracy Theories are just plot spoilers these days
The most prolific purveyors of demented ‘conspiracy theories’ are western mockingbird mouth pieces.
They’ve been doing it for decades. They do it 24/7. They are doing it now regarding Russia. Every single day.
Iraq has WMD’s. An accepted conspiracy theory masquerading as ‘fact’. This is the ‘truth’.
Result?…
Immeasurable suffering for some
Joy upon the above…
Yeah, it seems that transfer is timeless and priceless…
Let’s play a game…name the first US Senator or US Congressperson that will call for investigation into these bio weapon labs. The game is called ….!
The great American normie will fight to the death to defend their media lies, many of us have tried talking sense to these folks, and they refuse to believe we’re the bad guys. Their own ignorant ego will lead them to nuclear war, because they can’t imagine their great American myth is a lie.
Listened to an old Eagles song today, they were singing decades ago of the corruption in gov’t and how god presides over baseball games, nothing will undo that amount of brainwashing, even when we’re all glowing.
No mention of no-drama Baz Obama in this germ warfare when under his presidency we saw the uptick in funding xyz programmes in Ukraine, including Maidan; no abatement really under Trumplethinskin where they dug in and fortified, trained & armed and finally battle ready under Biden. I doubt these labs all sprung up in 2020.
This is CIA cross party benches/seats, all hands on deck as the dual citizens are given carte blanche to attack/provoke Russia.
Info on the labs has been on the net for years, check out Dilyana.bg. I find it incredible that everybody is so surprised by this. The story of the US advertising for the collection of DNA samples of Russians has been doing the rounds for days back then. No other Slavs were allowed, only pure blood Russians. President Putin at the time said he couldn’t do anything about it. He probably knew already what was going on.
I don’t know about the bioweapons. Well I do actually. I just tried every (mainly subtle techniques) I could think of to convince my wife and my child, not to get jabbed, with massive success – cos none of them have, and we are all happy and healthy, with another Grandchild on the way. I hope the baby is a girl, but it doesn’t matter. My older Grandchildren will welcome their Baby Sister or Brother into their Team
Pepe Escobar is in a league of his own with Pele
I bought his book when it came out…about 2007
It was my book to read when I went on holiday to a Greek Island with my kids and their friends.
It was extremely hot
I read Pipelineistan, under an Olive Grove, in between jumping into the pool
I have massive respect for Pepe Escobar, I also really like Linh Dinh
We have nothing in England to compete
MI6 – Luke Harding -Christopher Steele – They admit they make it up, as they write it, and think they are doing O.K. – “Us guys can f’ck over any country, we like with our propaganda” – they all believe it
“We are doing Europe and The USA now”
“We are in Control”
I am amazed how many people believe their propaganda
They won’t when they can’t eat
The “elite” ain’t going to last too long
Us unjabbed will
Dunno about the rest of you…
Fancy another booster jab?
I hope The Saker is O.K.
He is brill too, and Bernhard at MOA
I might not always agree, but I read.
I have no idea what is going to happen next, but never thought I would find myself on the brink of WWIII
If these American psychos in control, don’t cool it.
That is where we will be.

Yaah…
As to the article, lets not go Geronimo Mr Pepe.
I unnerstand, it is a self licking icecream – but you WILL have to make a choice sooner or later what was first – the chicken or the egg.
Want me to elaborate?
Although I read many articles online I have not yet read one that adequately explains to me what the USA has on the Germans to make them ban Russian gas and oil when their economy and any quality of life depends so much on Russian gas and oil.
I often think – why do not the Germans say, “well, do as you will; at least we’ll be warm”. It seems to me that not freezing to death would take precedence over anything or everything.
”..I have not yet read one that adequately explains to me what the USA has on the Germans to make them ban Russian gas ..” that’s just a.. ‘I’m also a Putin-hater’ talk.. the German gas companies have already paid in Roubles.
I took A Lurker’s comment to mean that only reason the Germans would agree to shut down their industry plus freeze their butts (and maybe melt in the summer heat) must be some kind of blackmail.
I didn’t interpret the comment to imply “I am also a Putin hater.”
I think the Germans are under the thumb of the USA, the EU and also the Green Party. This means the realists who know they need Russian oil and gas to sustain their economy are battling those who would keep them subservient as well as the ideologues who live in Cloud Cuckoo Land. I see a major humble pie banquet ahead when things become too bleak for the average German.
@Reader, I believe Germany is still under U$ occupation and military Law, by right of conquest both De Facto and De Jure.
The Russian occupation of Germany ended long ago, but The Man from Uncle is still there.
You’d be surprised what influence the presence of foreign troops in your country has, while at the same time you only have half an army and are reminded daily that you just lost two wars. (((Some people))) are very good at reminding them. I guess they only had around 35.000 US troops before the SMO but 10 years ago probably over 100.000, and still earlier plenty from 5 different countries. And now again more because of big, bad Putin, you know. The Brits flew sorties from their German bases during the Iraq war… WP probably has lots of data on this, I have just a sclerotic brain
And I know this sounds awful but the German “Jawohl, mein Führer” mentality also plays a roll probably. I like them a lot though and spend lots of time in our big neighbour.
Although I read many articles online I have not read one that adequately explains to me what the USofA has on Germany to make them ban Russian gas and oil when their economy and any quality of life depends on Russian gas and oil. This is the public political question.
Why does not Germany say, “well, do what you will; at least we’ll be warm”. It seems that being warm would take precedence over anything and everything. I mean really. This is the public stance that Germany will not take.
But now from what I read it seems that Germany may be off the hook somewhat because Hungary and Bulgaria(?) are stepping up and saying no ban because our citizens need to be warm. Also, Germany will buy Russian gas through many middle men who will throw a few gallons of oil from other countries into the oil tanker therefore Germany will not be buying Russian oil. Haha.
So is Germany just virtue signally and it is all a big phony story that their economy will collapse without Russian gas and oil because actually Germany will buy many gallons of Russian oil?
Additionally now that the pipsqueak Ukraine has decided to shut off the pipe which sends Russian oil through the Ukraine to Germany, the Germans seem to think they can open Nordstream 2? Is that possible? Will not the problem of gas for rubles come up? Geo-politics seem to be always operating on two levels or maybe three levels: the public level, the private level and the deep state level.
I can answer You with one word.

Germans(and the gvmnt) are check-mated with ANYTHING they would want to do, that does not co-incide with the aim of the movers and shakers.
Damned if you do – damned if you dont.
So far they did not.

The banning of Russian gas is part of the scheme to destroy Russia so that the West, not just the boss USA can carry on ruling the world for the sake of an elite few.
Germany is very much a part of it as is all the “international community”, as they like to call themselves. All the wars in the middle east was to control the oil and gas for themselves and to limit the flow to Asia, thereby inhibiting their growth.
It has been the same in Africa and all over the world to keep western dominance. In the old days they called it colonialism, but then imperialism and now it’s totalitarianism under the banner of democracy. I call it white racism and that too explains the hatred of the west to Russians.
In previous posts, the Saker correctly described the west’s thinking about Russians as “Snow niggers”, Middle Eastern people as “sand niggers”. You can guess who the real “niggers are”.
To be perplexed as to how Germany or the entire West can go cold and have super inflation and food scarcity is understandable. The answer is actually very simple but quite terrifying to accept.
We, the people do not matter and no amount of protests will change things. They have the police in place and many bullets/ tools to stamp out unrest. They are masters of creating unrest all over this world and masters at stamping it out at home.
The only way out of this cruel, evil world is in the hands of Russia and china. The mass protests this summer will be easily taken care of. The German government already told they’re people to wear 3 sweaters, wash once a week and take the bus.
p.s You are not a Putin hater but Germany is like all the rest for Russia stands in their way of control over this world. To understand how they can do that to their own people, I give you a joke told to me by a polish Canadian citizen.
He asked me: “why do the Poles want the mongols to invade them again”? I didn’t know. He said: ” it is because they first have to go through Russia”.
They have a big trade surplus with the US, and the US is ruthless in keeping its european ‘allies’ in line commercially through its judicial system.
UN reform is in the works. We can’t go on forever pretending its still 1945. A better UN deal is important to Germany and only the US can help them with it.
The German political class and media is pretty much owned by the US.
A new element is the Green party in the coalition. They are crazily anti Russsian. No proof but I suspect they are getting cash from the CIA.
The holocaust legacy is still there. They are nervous about taking their place in the world and think of the money they are saving.
I think another worry is that if they kicked the 40 US bases out, Washington could move them to Poland which could be dynamite.
But don’t despair, I think they are playing the long game and they did build Nord stream 1&2 despite US fierce opposition and the logistics base for construction was in Merkel’s constituency on the island of Rugen.
I think also they are waiting for economic reality to catch up with Empire of lies.
Many of the things you say are true but a lot has changed due to the west exposing itself. Some things pointed out: Yes the tool of using anti-Semitism against Germany still exists, but the world has seen the extent in which Israel/ USA/ Germany and the West can use the Nazis in Ukraine to satisfy their goals.
To my amazement, I have found out that most Western Green parties in the West promote wars, which cause a lot more ecological damage. For your information, Braerbrock was trained in the USA and is a USA agent, but so was Merkel as WikiLeaks stated. What else is knew?
The UN is under the complete control of the USA, as it’s is chief Gutteres. The small countries are allowed to vent, but everything else is a smokescreen.
It does not matter if nordstream 2 get online or Russian oil is banned for the Asians pay a higher price and will take it all. The Ukrainian cut off of the gas pipeline feeding Europe was orchestrated by USA to get all Europeans onboard.
Poland , with it’s visceral hatred for Russia and being dumb can get completely destroyed with missiles alone. In fact, so can NATO.
So the reliance is to pump the fools in the Ukraine with weapons in the foolish dream that they can overcome the military might of Russia.
No, as soon as Avostal is cleared, the Russians will launch a decisive attack on the Donbass, and then Odessa
“No proof but I suspect they are getting cash from the CIA.”
I noticed that before Annalena Baerbock first met Blinken in Brussels (9-10.12.2021), she made a point of meeting with John Kerry.
“Tony Blinken, the two of us are having numerous talks these days, but what makes me optimistic in these difficult times is the knowledge of the strength of our transatlantic union….We in Germany are ready to pay a high price for that in economic terms. That is why all options are on the table – also Nord Stream 2. (Applause.)” (FEBRUARY 18, 2022)

The fact that German Chancellor Willy Brandt was on the US military’s payroll (1948-1952) as an informant, hasn’t resonated very much in Germany. When the story based on the US historian Thomas Boghardt’s meticulous research first came out last year it kind of flopped as a news item in Germany, almost as if you could hear the unconscious sigh: “Oh let’s not go there shall we?” As if the NSA bugging Chancellor Angela Merkel’s personal handy wasn’t enough. And especially now as VC Habeck is proclaiming a new renaissance of the transatlantic partnership. Many are still completely unaware of this bombshell.
In short dearest Theophilus you might be on to something regarding informants and payrolls.
I don’t think they can just kick the bases out, Yanks have a habit of anchoring themselves quite well. Chancellor Scholz signed, fresh in office, a new deal with the Yanks so they’ll feel comfortable in Germany, till 2099. One interesting thing I picked up just after the elections was that Scholz was RAF connected, but never did anything illegal.
And on US loving European politicians: I sometimes get the impression the ones that go studying over there get a brain implant and become droids. They act as crazy as the dual citizen politicians in the US!
The Bulgarian Prime Minister stated this week that the U.S. has offered gas to Bg at a price lower than Gazprom. (www.flagman.bg).
Turkey, Croatia and Hungary are set to veto Finland & Sweden’s NATO application.. They might be able to join at the same time as Ukraine: in one or two decades..
Super, now when will it get there?
And who will pay for the logistics for its arrival, by truck, by tanker, by pipe? Whatever the means, who is paying for the infrastructure to accept it?
Lastly, all of this is based on the assumption the gas exists to give in the first place…
much worse analysis – if you build out a LNG terminal(S) in Germany you will have to sign a – take or pay contract – so even when the NG from a cheaper source becomes available – say Russia from NS1-2 then – the LNG is the first accepted for use.
once put in place the marginal cost in Germany becomes unsustainable for manufacturing – easier to take the equipment / brand / know how to far east and start over
within the next 90 days all is lost in Germany just like uSA in late 90′ when Romney et al bough Cos – LBO and shipped all to the far east.
EU is an idea not an economic community
I wonder which of the Biden team dreamt up Hunter Biden Fantasy Art Works as a means of laundering money? Especially when Hunter can barely join the dots or paint-by-numbers for kids.
Still, Godfather Joe like The Cuntlin’s know where the bodies are buried , OK he can remember where 90% of them are but he gave the coordinates to Hunter for safekeeping on his laptop, insurance against getting wacked.
All very demeaning, degrading, like the fall of Rome into debauchery & chaos, with a bunch of narcissistic entitled lowlifes dragging us into the end of days.
A coffin dodging, cobweb gathering Mummy who doesn’t know what day of the week it is. This is the ‘commander-in-chief’, the ‘leader of the free world’ (democratically elected by millions of pavlov dog shits).
Has a son, who is a crack pipe smoking junkie. Paid millions by a corrupt Ukron privatised corporation as an ‘advisor’.
Advising on what?….How many ‘happy pills’ it will take to keep Ukron Nazis believing they will be marching onto Moscow before the end of this year?
A Bollywood fiction writer wouldn’t get away with this smorgasbord of shite. The studio producers would laugh him/her/trans/whatever out of the building.
“Advising on what?”
Would assume he advised them to give 10% to the big guy if they know what’s good for them, no?
The only person Hunter is ‘advising’ is his dealer.
Why elaborate, it means what it means, NS 1/2 of 2, they have to swallow half their pride for starters from something that had turn impossible but is known that Everything is Possible (Shestov)…..with the “elites”, start calling them what they are The Fiendish… The last capitalist will sell arms to the one before last capitalist in order to have some profit! (Lenin)… So, NS1/2 = No WWIII, that is why is so special a move, the EU energy withdrawal syntoms may bring an arms embargo, disrupt the “unity” of those willing, a tripwire for certain people in upcoming elections and after that to come to the realization that reality stains! (Mario Santiago) BioW, the bastardly Fiendish have gone Mengelef 3.0! We All Have to DeNazify if we don’t want to end in the Showers!…And Yes, this summer season will beat “Narcos”!…
Quote: start calling them what they are The Fiendish…
IMHO: The Leeches is also good.
Hey, Andrej!
You know how to eat an elephant right?
One bite at a time…
Take it easy mate.
What was it You were saying?
He packed 4 elephants into the VW, 2 in front and 2 at the back.
I think the phrase “suicide by cop” is relevant. This Ukraineian + EU thing just looks like collective suicide by Russian. Bizzare. Madame Europa is just turning out to be a mad hag on a brocken broom stick in an irrational-policy no-fly zone.
“…the Americans behave like headless chickens…”
Yes. Excellent observation about the behavior of not only the formerly sovereign democracy of the USA, but of all of the formerly sovereign western democracies, and across all areas of national policy foreign and domestic. As people trying to understand the behaviors we are seeing, we must ask “But why?” The “stupid, incompetent” theory utterly fails to explain what we see happening in lock step across the west.
The formerly sovereign western democracies are already dead. Fully captured and controlled at all levels including executive, legislative, and judicial. The heads have been severed, but the bodies yet flail aimlessly, restrained while the last blood and vitality drains away. Hence, the appearance of “headless chickens.”
Rational observers struggled for decades to make sense of self destructive “government” policies which undermined the economic, social, and cultural foundations necessary for the survival and growth of healthy, functional, viable sovereign democracies. Many still struggle today.
Why would any “government,” assumed to have as its raison de etre the best interests of its people, its laws, and national integrity, engage in activities which clearly undermined those very interests?
The accrual of massive, irreconcilable public debt resulting from the naked waste and theft of future public wealth; irresponsible and clearly destructive immigration policy, aggressive attacks against public health, family, and morality, diseducation and overt efforts aimed at the destruction of educational institutions as well as of the very minds of those who would attend them. The imposition of fraudulent “laws” declaring corporations are “people,” money is free speech, and gender is a personal choice. On and on.
None of it made sense until we began to realize that these were not the actions of a “government” interested in preserving the nation or its sovereignty, on the contrary! These were in fact the very purposeful, goal directed behaviors of a traitor class of tyrants and their traitorous, useful idiots willing to accept money and power to betray their own people.
As with COVID, Ukraine is another phase of the ongoing effort to kill the still struggling corpses.
Yeah they’re real Evil Genius’, aren’t they? The plate spinners of the world. What’s that Donovan lyric? There’s just as many geese flying down South as there are lies falling out of your mouth. Not obvious at all, is it?
To use your own phrase, they’re ALL useful idiots.
Am I the only one, that dreams of waking up to a headline:
THE ARMY HAS TAKEN OVER. Professionals had enough. Their patience ran out. The urgency is over. Learn all from the news services of the Armed Core. Congress of degenerates incarcerated within 4 hours from the orders given. ALL of them.
THE PRESIDENT UNDER APPROPRIATE SENIOR CARE. His personal assistent `s name is Zelinskij…or sumpthn… They are housed together. They seem to be making plans for the future.They are fed and watered. We observe them closely.
Europe is coming along swimmingly. Another 5% of paved over land came under agricultural land- management this year. Dating sites have but disappeared, but two convicted rapists and a pedofile got hung up by their neck in Hungary. Crime statistics follow curves inexplicable to us.
We no unnerstand…
The Europee-on Onion pressures the authorities of the Russian World Federation to declare the Black Sea – Blu.
The Europee-ons are ready to present photos as to document their claims. As to the colour – ALL 47 secret undecover out-of sight no-see-em-no budget, agencies confirm, that the sea is mostly black at night – and blue during the right conditions.
Xcept Snake Island. The birthplace of Mankind.
Then I wake up…back in this shit….😁
Hey…I AM almost there…
I believe it can be safely concluded by rational observers without emotion involved that democracy and representative elections in the west, especially in the USA in both spirit and implementation are dead at this point.
Sure you can go vote in November but it doesn’t change much does it? This has become crystal clear with me due to this Ukraine war and also the Covid crisis. The West has lost any moral ground it may have had, it’s become in reality a culture of death and destruction abroad and at home, downright evil at times(I hesitate to use the word). You can see the videos on Telegram of Russians capturing people in their 40s/50s and maybe even 60s that are not of high rank and have very little training as territorial defense.
Some of the pro-Russians on Telegram still retain their humanity and shake their head at the waste of all the Ukrainian lives being lost on the front as well as the family members left behind, not all but some(at least half), they also advocate for the just treatment for the most part with the exception of Azov. While the Western commenters especially on Twitter can’t get enough of Russian soldiers dying and even justify the shooting of POWs and LPR/DPR civilians. Why the extreme lust for death and blood from social media?
This is something that should be studied, it’s one of the reasons I am planning to leave the USA in the long term as it’s only a matter of time before that blood lust and thirst for death turns inward(I would argue it already has). The nihilism of the West is becoming a threat to the whole world, perhaps this is one of Putin’s points. You start to see in how the wars were conducted in Afghanistan and Iraq vs what the Russians are doing in Ukraine, America is willing to kill 100 of the other to possibly save 1 of their own. I see the Russians taking unnecessary casualties in order to save population/villagers, perhaps foolish from the viewpoint of American eyes. The war on terrorism was the metastasizing event, the USA lost compassion for the other and in the end for themselves.
A culture/people committing slow motion suicide is something to behold, perhaps this is the inevitable end when all reasonable material comforts are achieved and the spirit/humanity no longer is needed to get the former.
” potential U.S. hypersonic missiles stationed in Finland ”
“Potential” implies an “If” as in, If they could do it.
As the Spartans used to say Laconically, “If” is a very big word.
Russia’s special operation in Ukraine is only the first step toward their stated objective: No nukes near Russia’s borders.
“That prompted Melnikov to a priceless comment: “If purchases remain the same, Germany will probably need to urgently allow the launch of one of the Nord Stream 2 lines in order to replace the transit [routes that Ukraine, Poland and Finland are shutting down]. ”
How many Germans does it take to open a gas tap?
One.
His name is Putin.
He shows more concern of the German Nation, than any of your marauding party jackals.
….and you want to hurt him in return…
ok…
Ooops, don’t Germans have form for fiddling around with gas taps…😳
“True civilization is not to be found in gas. It consists in the diminution of the traces of original sin.” — Charles Baudelaire, 1821-1867.
With Baerbock holding the gas tap, 82 citizens million turn the EU around. Problem solved!
Biden is also destroying US energy supply.. Who benefits?
China for sure.. And other nations staying out of the sanction game.
In relative term, probably UK is least harmed, and said to have discovered a new gas field in Nord sea.
Is that all a remake of WW2 by city of London cutting energy access to as many as possible… With green fachism.. Plandemie somewhat.. And now war?
Well, let’s look at some numbers:
Ukraine
Area: about 580.000 KM²
Inhabitants: about 40 million
corresponds to about 77 inhabitants / km²
Finland
Area: about 340.000 Km²
Inhabitants: about 5,5 Mio
corresponds to about 16 inhabitants / km²
Sweden
Area: about 450.000 km²
Inhabitants: about 10,5 Mio
corresponds to about 23 inhabitants / km²
Then we have considerable geographical as well as climatic differences.
The Baltic States and even Poland lie similarly favorably in relation to Moscow and St. Petersburg, in part even more favorably.
However, the threat for the area Murmansk / Barents Sea – White Sea – Achangelsk / Severodvinsk, and thus, among other things, for the Northern Fleet located there as well as the shipyards, etc. might increase considerably …
And this seems to be the real problem.
Everyone talks about the $billions going to Ukraine.
Wel,l here a local Ukrainian has his eyes open :
Ukrainians urged Putin to bomb customs in Lviv
https://readovka.news/news/96941
Quote :
Instead of such a “long-awaited” military assistance from the West, dozens of luxury cars have been spotted at the Lviv customs. Despite the fact that, according to the authorities, they are allegedly going for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lviv residents do not believe this at all.
“Putin, if you want [to strike], throw a bomb – throw here, I will give the coordinates!”, – says the Ukrainian.
One of the indignant “svidoms” decided to appeal to Russian President Vladimir Putin. He asks to restore order and give russian “Kalibr” and “Iskander” on the hands of Ukrainian corrupt officials “warming their hands” in the war.
Corruption anyone? No WONDER Seanator Rand ordered an AUDIT of the $40 billion.
How much of the bio-weapon research money went into Ukraine oligarchs pockets and Hunter Biden’s wallet?
No WONDER the UK only offered $1 billion – let the Yanks be milked!
By the way, is there an Iskander Corruption-homing warhead?
Maybe the EU leaders are not just stupid but carry out the Davos+ plan to enslave their populations in order to continue to rule the world. It is a divide and rule, their populations will have to choose between eating and heating enough certain months. Their energy will go to pure survival. It would also serve the fake green agenda of reducing carbon footprint and the population reduction necessary for that (enhanced by the side effects of certain inoculations) .
The US isn’t forcing the EU to do anything. These Davos Marxists are in it together despite their effects on the civilian populations. EUs have been heavily Marxist since Marx.
There is no such thing as western Europe now. A peoples, maybe, but there are no functional European governments that serve the people. This is the result of US-UK-Zionist control and exploitation of this once capable region of the world.
This time it’s not some BS :”FBI Investigation” looking into the war crimes (and finding nothing as usual) it’s Vladimir Putin and the Russian Army rolling up the threads. It’s just a hunch, but if Soros and Rockefeller get deported to a salt mine in Siberia for a “malenky robot” as a result, they might be surprised to discover that the labor camp doesn’t serve capuccinos.
Here’s to Nord stream 2.
And for once I”m thanking Erdogan.
In clown world Oconto won the Nobel prize then started droning weddings.
Ezra Pound began work on his Cantos in 1915 in an effort that would span a lifetime. The Usura Cantos (XLV) was thought to have been written in 1936, 14 years after his close compatriot Eliot’s The Waste Land.
“With usura hath no man a house of good stone
each block cut smooth and well fitting
that design might cover their face”
Eliot’s ‘house of stony rubbish’ is the successor to Pound’s vanquished ‘house of good stone’.
In the US homebuilding industry in the early 2000s where I worked, the race was on to replicate and perfect the tract ‘Leavittown’ assembly-line home. Pulte boasted a 7-week completion time. Who was the undisclosed customer for these homes? Usura (Wall Street) Who was the mark? The buyer.
“with usura is no clear demarcation
and no man can find site for his dwelling.
Stonecutter is kept from his stone
weaver is kept from his loom”
Usura crowds out human habitation, replacing it with units of output that feed a growth factor that feeds a P/E ratio that feeds a quarterly number that feeds, in the final analysis, no one.
“with usura, sin against nature,
is thy bread ever more of stale rags
is thy bread dry as paper,
with no mountain wheat, no strong flour”
Usura is a ravenous negation (debt-money) plundering everything and yielding nothing. $226 trillion in global debt has purchased us a bounty of mass starvation as a globalized Holdomor awaits us.

Pepe parabéns por mais uma matéria muito bem elaborada. Sua inteligência aliada à sua dedicação o tornam cada vez mais um dos melhores
analistas em geopolítica da atualidade.
Tribunal in Donezk might be a mistake, coming from conflating of issues that should have both 100% their own platform and debate.
1. National and territorial interest in UA, safety of local people.
2. Interest by the world community for safety from growing threats by new weapons and tactics by biotech research.
I would beg to get India and South Korea on board, they have both reasons to be interested, and on the level of cultural elites, they have also a connection to each other.
Russia can only be catalytic, not be the carrier of this. Then it will work out.

Best regards
I think it is fair to say that we all filter things through the lens of out life experiences, which includes the propaganda to which we have been subjected. That means the context in which things happen is sometimes missed. Generally speaking, I find the Saker provides a realistic view of how the “Russian” mind thinks and his analysis is informative, and goes a long way to providing the context we would otherwise miss. That, however, cuts both ways. There are times when the context of things may escape him.
In this informative article there are a couple of tweaks needed, from my perspective. First is that the EU is a US creation. More specifically, the US foreign policy is owned by bankers, and the bankers wanted the Euro. Germany has an occupation government. It will do as the US and UK tell it to do. Nord Stream 2 was a German “going rogue” event that had to be stopped, even if it meant the destruction of the German and wider European economy.The banker occupied US government hands out bags of money to politicians all over the world. It’s a very lucrative career for those who do its bidding. The EU and Germany are not exempt. The politicians plan to collect more money from the US. Who cares about the people they allegedly represent?
Anyone who remembers the Cold War knows they are ALL doing this than act shocked, shocked i say, when one is caught. Dont worry. It wont be long before Russias and Chinas and Indias and the rest take their turn getting caught.
