The supreme target is regime change in Russia, Ukraine is just a pawn in the game – or worse, mere cannon fodder.
All eyes are on Mariupol. As of Wednesday night, over 70% of residential areas were under control of Donetsk and Russian forces, while Russian Marines, Donetsk’s 107th batallion and Chechen Spetsnaz, led by the charismatic Adam Delimkhanov, had entered the Azov-Stal plant – the HQ of the neo-Nazi Azov batallion.
Azov was sent a last ultimatum: surrender until midnight – or else, as in a take no prisoners highway to hell.
That implies a major game-changer in the Ukrainian battlefield; Mariupol is finally about to be thoroughly denazified – as the Azov contingent long entrenched in the city and using civilians as human shields were their most hardened fighting force.
Meanwhile, echoes from the Empire of Lies all but gave the whole game away. There’s no intention whatsoever in Washington to facilitate a peace plan in Ukraine – and that explains Comedian Zelensky’s non-stop stalling tactics. The supreme target is regime change in Russia, and for that Totalen Krieg against Russia and all things Russian is warranted. Ukraine is just a pawn in the game – or worse, mere cannon fodder.
This also means that the 14,000 deaths in Donbass for the past 8 years should be directly attributed to the Exceptionalists. As for Ukrainian neo-Nazis of all stripes, they are as expendable as “moderate rebels” in Syria, be they al-Qaeda or Daesh-linked. Those that may eventually survive can always join the budding CIA-sponsored Neo-Nazi Inc. – the tawdry remix of the 1980s Jihad Inc. in Afghanistan. They will be properly “Kalibrated”.
A quick neo-Nazi recap
By now only the brain dead across NATOstan – and there are hordes – are not aware of Maidan in 2014. Yet few know that it was then Ukrainian Minister of Interior Arsen Avakov, a former governor of Kharkov, who gave the green light for a 12,000 paramilitary outfit to materialize out of Sect 82 soccer hooligans who supported Dynamo Kiev. That was the birth of the Azov batallion, in May 2014, led by Andriy Biletsky, a.k.a. the White Fuhrer, and former leader of the neo-nazi gang Patriots of Ukraine.
Together with NATO stay-behind agent Dmitro Yarosh, Biletsky founded Pravy Sektor, financed by Ukrainian mafia godfather and Jewish billionaire Ihor Kolomoysky (later the benefactor of the meta-conversion of Zelensky from mediocre comedian to mediocre President.)
Pravy Sektor happened to be rabidly anti-EU – tell that to Ursula von der Lugen – and politically obsessed with linking Central Europe and the Baltics in a new, tawdry Intermarium. Crucially, Pravy Sektor and other nazi gangs were duly trained by NATO instructors.
Biletsky and Yarosh are of course disciples of notorious WWII-era Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera, for whom pure Ukrainians are proto-Germanic or Scandinavian, and Slavs are untermenschen.
Azov ended up absorbing nearly all neo-Nazi groups in Ukraine and were dispatched to fight against Donbass – with their acolytes making more money than regular soldiers. Biletsky and another neo-Nazi leader, Oleh Petrenko, were elected to the Rada. The White Führer stood on his own. Petrenko decided to support then President Poroshenko. Soon the Azov battalion was incorporated as the Azov Regiment to the Ukrainian National Guard.
They went on a foreign mercenary recruiting drive – with people coming from Western Europe, Scandinavia and even South America.
That was strictly forbidden by the Minsk Agreements guaranteed by France and Germany (and now de facto defunct). Azov set up training camps for teenagers and soon reached 10,000 members. Erik “Blackwater” Prince, in 2020, struck a deal with the Ukrainian military that would enable his renamed outfit, Academi, to supervise Azov.
It was none other than sinister Maidan cookie distributor Vicky “F**k the EU” Nuland who suggested to Zelensky – both of them, by the way, Ukrainian Jews – to appoint avowed Nazi Yarosh as an adviser to the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Gen Valerii Zaluzhnyi. The target: organize a blitzkrieg on Donbass and Crimea – the same blitzkrieg that SVR, Russian foreign intel, concluded would be launched on February 22, thus propelling the launch of Operation Z.
All of the above, in fact just a quick recap, shows that in Ukraine there’s no difference whatsoever between white neo-Nazis and brown-colored al-Qaeda/ISIS/Daesh, as much as neo-Nazis are just as “Christian” as takfiri Salafi-jihadis are “Muslim”.
When Putin denounced a “bunch of neo-Nazis” in power in Kiev, the Comedian replied that it was impossible because he was Jewish. Nonsense. Zelensky and his patron Kolomoysky, for all practical purposes, are Zio-Nazis.
Even as branches of the United States government admitted to neo-Nazis entrenched in the Kiev apparatus, the Exceptionalist machine made the daily shelling of Donbass for 8 years simply disappear. These thousands of civilian victims never existed.
U.S. mainstream media even ventured the odd piece or report on Azov and Aidar neo-Nazis. But then a neo-Orwellian narrative was set in stone: there are no Nazis in Ukraine. CIA offshoot NED even started deleting records about training members of Aidar. Recently a crappy news network duly promoted a video of a NATO-trained and weaponized Azov commander – complete with Nazi iconography.
Why “denazification” makes sense
The Banderastan ideology harks back to when this part of Ukraine was in fact controlled by the Austro-Hungarian empire, the Russian empire and Poland. Stepan Bandera was born in Austro-Hungary in 1909, near Ivano-Frankovsk, in the – then autonomous – Kingdom of Galicia.
WWI dismembered European empires into frequently non-viable small entities. In western Ukraine – an imperial intersection – that inevitably led to the proliferation of extremely intolerant ideologies.
Banderastan ideologues profited from the Nazi arrival in 1941 to try to proclaim an independent territory. But Berlin not only blocked it but sent them to concentration camps. In 1944 though the Nazis changed tactics: they liberated the Banderanistas and manipulated them into anti-Russian hate, thus creating a destabilization force in the Ukrainian USSR.
So Nazism is not exactly the same as Banderastan fanatics: they are in fact competing ideologies. What happened since Maidan is that the CIA kept a laser focus on inciting Russian hatred by whatever fringe groups it could instrumentalize. So Ukraine is not a case of “white nationalism” – to put it mildly – but of anti-Russian Ukrainian nationalism, for all practical purposes manifested via Nazi-style salutes and Nazi-style symbols.
So when Putin and the Russian leadership refer to Ukrainian Nazism, that may not be 100% correct, conceptually, but it strikes a chord with every Russian.
Russians viscerally reject Nazism – considering that virtually every Russian family has at least one ancestor killed during the Great Patriotic War. From the perspective of wartime psychology, it makes total sense to talk of “Ukro-nazism” or, straight to the point, a “denazification” campaign.
How the Anglos loved the Nazis
The United States government openly cheerleading neo-Nazis in Ukraine is hardly a novelty, considering how it supported Hitler alongside England in 1933 for balance of power reasons.
In 1933, Roosevelt lent Hitler one billion gold dollars while England lent him two billion gold dollars. That should be multiplied 200 times to arrive at today’s fiat dollars. The Anglo-Americans wanted to build up Germany as a bulwark against Russia. In 1941 Roosevelt wrote to Hitler that if he invaded Russia the U.S. would side with Russia, and wrote Stalin that if Stalin invaded Germany the U.S. would back Germany. Talk about a graphic illustration of Mackinderesque balance of power.
The Brits had become very concerned with the rise of Russian power under Stalin while observing that Germany was on its knees with 50% unemployment in 1933, if one counted unregistered itinerant Germans.
Even Lloyd George had misgivings about the Versailles Treaty, unbearably weakening Germany after its surrender in WWI. The purpose of WWI, in Lloyd George’s worldview, was to destroy Russia and Germany together. Germany was threatening England with the Kaiser building a fleet to take over the oceans, while the Tsar was too close to India for comfort. For a while Britannia won – and continued to rule the waves.
Then building up Germany to fight Russia became the number one priority – complete with rewriting of History. The uniting of Austrian Germans and Sudetenland Germans with Germany, for instance, was totally approved by the Brits.
But then came the Polish problem. When Germany invaded Poland, France and Britain stood on the sidelines. That placed Germany on the border of Russia, and Germany and Russia divided up Poland. That’s exactly what Britain and France wanted. Britain and France had promised Poland that they would invade Germany from the west while Poland fought Germany from the east.
In the end, the Poles were double-crossed. Churchill even praised Russia for invading Poland. Hitler was advised by MI6 that England and France would not invade Poland – as part of their plan for a German-Russian war. Hitler had been supported financially since the 1920s by MI6 for his favorable words about England in Mein Kampf. MI6 de facto encouraged Hitler to invade Russia.
Fast forward to 2022, and here we go again – as farce, with the Anglo-Americans “encouraging” Germany under feeble Scholz to put itself back together militarily, with 100 billion euros (that the Germans don’t have), and setting up in thesis a revamped European force to later go to war against Russia.
Cue to the Russophobic hysteria in Anglo-American media about the Russia-China strategic partnership. The mortal Anglo-American fear is Mackinder/Mahan/Spykman/Kissinger/Brzezinski all rolled into one: Russia-China as peer competitor twins take over the Eurasian land mass – the Belt and Road Initiative meets the Greater Eurasia Partnership – and thus rule the planet, with the U.S. relegated to inconsequential island status, as much as the previous “Rule Britannia”.
England, France and later the Americans had prevented it when Germany aspired to do the same, controlling Eurasia side by side with Japan, from the English Channel to the Pacific. Now it’s a completely different ball game.
So Ukraine, with its pathetic neo-Nazi gangs, is just an – expendable – pawn in the desperate drive to stop something that is beyond anathema, from Washington’s perspective: a totally peaceful German-Russian-Chinese New Silk Road.
Russophobia, massively imprinted in the West’s DNA, never really went away. Cultivated by the Brits since Catherine the Great – and then with The Great Game. By the French since Napoleon. By the Germans because the Red Army liberated Berlin. By the Americans because Stalin forced to them the mapping of Europe – and then it went on and on and on throughout the Cold War.
We are at just the early stages of the final push by the dying Empire to attempt arresting the flow of History. They are being outsmarted, they are already outgunned by the top military power in the world, and they will be checkmated. Existentially, they are not equipped to kill the Bear – and that hurts. Cosmically.

There is a bit of indoctrination but there are a bunch of Americans that can still critically think past Russophobia. Some are more aware due to mass deception from globalists and MSM who were very pro China IMHO before most recent events.
The American gov’t isn’t American it’s globalist. The American people are occupied and have no say in their fake elections, brainwashed by their fake media and impoverished by their fake financial system.
This ia true. When our politicians speak of America they are not speaking of the same America that us lowly serfs speak about. They speak to military and dollar power across the globe.
The good news, as we personally know, is that not ALL Americans are “brainwashed” and cajoled by our Media that lies 24/7. That’s the good news: the bad news is: the vast majority of Americans have become incredibly burdened by their economic conditions and as a result– that’s what takes precedence. Sadly, most seek amusement, or family distractions which sequesters their outlook into depths of profound ignorance about their country and the world itself.
MNGA – hilarious!
Still where is the reference to FDR’s $1 billion for Hitler?
We all know Bush granpa Prescott paid for the NSDAP 1932 election, via Brown Brothers Harimann, with Bank of England chief Norman Montague. To see Bush Jr doing some ritual at a Bandera birthday is lawful.
Read a great book by Liaquat Ahamed a few years back – LORDS of FINANCE
The whole shooting match of Banker Genocide/Orgies would make Rome in its pomp blush.
They painted Montagu Norman ( Governor of BoE ) as an elderly flamboyant carefree dandy. All the while he’s strutting around the world financing wars, like John McCain on steroids.
Hjalmar Schacht of the Bank of International Settlements in Basel for the Versailles Treaty payments always said it was Montague Norman’s Bank.
Schacht became Hitlers Finance and Economics Minister, the labor camps architect.
Hitler was a bankers boy.
The 40,000 EU slave labour camps, concentration camps, transit camps, extermination camps, euthanasia centres and killing sites:
Between 1933 and 1945, the Nazis established more than 40,000 camps for the imprisonment, forced labor, or mass killing of Jews, Sinti and Roma, Communists, and other so-called “enemies of the state.”

“Still where is the reference to FDR’s $1 billion for Hitler?”
It’s probably already inflation-adjusted, otherwise it makes no sense to me. The $2 billion the UK supposedly lent would probably have been more than UK GDP at the time.
I am not sure about the exact figure, but Pepe is referring to the work of Prof. Anthony C. Sutton of Stanford University’s Hoover Institution:
The Best Enemies Money Can Buy: An Interview with Prof. Antony C. Sutton
https://youtu.be/zTDvLmEBESY?t=564
Sutton has done a lot of scholarly research regarding US financing of both Nazi Germany & the Soviet Union, which has not been welcome by the United States government.
* If you have ever wondered why Walter Duranty of the New York Times reported that Stalin’s Show Trials were legitimate and that the Great Terror and Holodomor did not exist, check out “The Gray Lady Winked” by Ashley Rindsberg. (Tucker Carson just interviewed him.) In the 1930s, the United States was in the midst of the Great Depression and US corporations were looking to Russia to get them through the period. The New York Times facilitated that happening by deliberately keeping Stalin’s image squeaky clean. And of course this was welcome news on the Left at that time as they wanted to view the USSR as a “worker’s paradise”. Duranty’s reporting is often explained as the result of Duranty being in the thrall of progressive Leftist ideology and that his ideology didn’t allow him to see the truth. Unfortunately, the truth is a lot darker than that.

Russia never “divided Poland with Germany”. First the non aggression agreement which western/anglo historiography misrepresents as a “pact between Stalin and Hitler to divide Poland”, was just that – a non aggression agreement wherein both side would maintain the borders they had at the time of its signing (Germany never intended to keep its side, the Destruction of Russia was the central part of Hitlers political ideology.It was the master plan laid out in in Mein Kampf”) .Second the part of “Poland” that Soviet Russia concerned itself with was actually what we now call “the Ukraine” , most of which had become a revolutionary state and part of the Soviet Union after the October revolution. It was then invaded by Poland in 1921(? date) which began a process of Polish state sponsored ethnic cleansing which they called “Polanization” . Russia never invaded Poland. Germany invaded Poland and within a couple weeks the entire government of Poland fled to Romania or surrendered in place (Romania was an ally of Nazi Germany) The German state notified Moscow that, as far as they were concerned Poland had no government and therefore no longer existed as a state and that German armed forces would deploy wherever they wished on its former territory, which included the western 2/3 of the Ukraine. The red army deployed into that region to block the advance of the German army further east and operation Barbarosa began shortly thereafter.
absolut korrekt, danke für die Richtigstellung
MOD: Please from now on put in your own translation as Saker asked. Moderation is too busy these days to always do it for you.
absolutely correct, thanks for the correction
“Germany” didn’t but prior to Germany’s existence the Hohenzollern Prussian state, which was already a key state in what became Germany, the Habsburg Austrian state, which was probably considered the dominant German speaking state, and Tsarina Catherine the Great (a Saxon by birth) and leader of the Russian state, divided the then much larger Polish territory in 1772, 1793 and 1795 in the famous “partitions” of Poland. That is why the Poles still resent Russians more than other similar Slavic nationalities.
In I939 Soviet Union got back the land, that was given to Poland by the Treaty of Riga of March 18,1921, which Tsarist Russian/Soviet land in its turn was east of the by the British government proposed Soviet-Polish boundary, ”the Curzon Line”, of December 1919.
I just finished reading the secret protocols of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. What you say above is nonsense. The secret protocols carefully delineated the German and Soviet spheres of influence, including the new borders that remained in place for two years. Stalin improvised on the Pact by also stealing Northern Bukovina and Bessarabia from Romania … both calculated to put Soviet forces closer to the Romanian oilfields that fueled the German war machine. The Germans (slow on the uptake regarding Stalin’s strategic intentions) gave Stalin explicit permission to seize Bessarabia. The Germans formally expressed no interest in Bessarabia as if they were oblivious to Stalin’s strategic designs on the Romanian oilfields.
Hitler finally woke up and hurriedly launched Operation Barbarossa to force Stalin to divert his attention and forces to defend Moscow to save the oilfields. It worked!
As references, I suggest the secret protocols of the Pact as well as the new book, “Stalin’s War: A New History of WWII,” by Sean McMeekin. The book frequently references Soviet and German archives to document the author’s claims.
“Savage Continent” by Keith Lowe catalogues the ethnic cleansing in Eastern Europe systematically avoided by historians. The cleansing started after WWI and proceeded unabated after WWII, especially in the “dark years” between 1945 and 1947 when the diverse ethnicities in Eastern Europe settled scores. In those years, millions died as Poles cleansed Ukranians; Ukrainians cleansed Poles and Russians; and Romanians, Poles, and Ukranians systematically eliminated millions of German Volksdeutsch from their midst.
In the end, Poland was the winner with the ethnically purest Eastern European state. Ukraine was the loser as a multi-ethnic state with Russians, Romanians, Poles, Ukrainians, and Jews. Apparently the Ukronazis believe that they have a lot of unfinished business left to do to catch up with the Poles.

”The territories of Poland annexed by the Soviet Union after the 1939 Soviet invasion east of the Curzon line remained in the Soviet Union after the war ended and are now in Ukraine and Belarus.”
The boundary of (Lord) Curzon Line of December 1919 became the state boundary of 1939 and 1947.
USSR took back in 1939 the land given to Poland by the Treaty of Riga in 1921 after the 1920 War.

What this sadly accurate history lesson teaches is that the news is the olds, that every group in every time has their 1% who wants the upper hand, to be in a position of superiority over other humans. Some because they believe their blood (genes) is (are) pure, and pure blood/genes is all that matters, some because they cannot imagine life is worth living unless they have so much wealthpower they can make history be whatever they say it will be.
Surely, we humans make Jesus weep.
Dear Humanity: The only moral way for us to live is as equals. Happiness is horizontal. We have climbed the ladder of “success at the top” only to find all evils. Lay that ladder flat – no more rich/poor strife on steroids – no more letting the worst few have overfortunes that they use to divide and conquer us and cannonfodder us in the wars they arrange to happen – lay the ladder flat and find safety, prosperity, peace, fraternity, equality, sustainability, progress, maximal liberty, responsive government – our golden age.
We here all know Russia didn’t want this, Russia’s leadership tried to not have to self-defend in this way. But a few had the power to make it so President Putin had to intervene!!
Have we humans the savvy to retrieve our children’s chance to have a future? The 1% don’t sit, inert! Can we the 99% get real enough to see how critical the situation is, how close to history on repeat on steroids we are?
This is no way to run a planet!!
For almost 30 years the West has been practicing derussification, ie. the cultural genocide of the Russian people, its culture and history. In Ukraine, this policy has progressed to physical genocide.
Euromaidan and the dictatorship it has established seek to deny Ukrainians the right to their own language, culture, religion, history and identity. It is being replaced by Galician nationalism, its foreign language, its racist world view, a heretical, hate-based fake religion and Nazi history.
The flag of Ukraine has become a symbol of white supremacy. According to the ideology, Russians are not “White”, nor do they share European “Western values”. Only northern Germanic blood is valid and valuable. Ukrainians almost count as White, but only if we first eradicate the Russian language and other forms of Russianness.
The Ukrainian flag is now seen throughout the West. It shows that the Nordic Race fully stands with their Aryan brothers. The flag’s true message: “Russians are Untermensch”.
Fortunately the Global South knows better.

Interesting how throughout history Nazism and Zionism seem to have a symbiotic relationship.
Read the book: Zionism in the Age of Dictators”. It makes that point abundantly clear.
Goes back to Deuteronomy (the Book of Numbers, 5th century BC).
What Jehovah told Moses to command the Children of Israel to do to the gentiles: “You must kill all the males, even the babies. You can spare the females and breed slaves from them; their offspring will not rank as your proper children but as your cattle.”
Genocidal programs were as common in those days as they are in ours.
“True civilization is not railways and gas but the diminution of our traces of original sin” — Baudelaire
I’m searching for that Bible verse, but need help. Please tell me where to find it. Thanks!
KJV Numbers 31;17.
KJV Joshua 6:21.
The book of Joshua tells also of a complete genocide.
“And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.”
KJV Deuteronomy 23:19-20
Authorises usury by the chosen people upon the Gentiles, but forbids usury between the chosen peoples.
19 “Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury.”
20 “Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.”
note the key words: bless thee; thine hand; land; possess it.
The significance of above cannot be understated.
Back to Deuteronomy! Et al – that’s one of the reasons I wrote my ‘Gospel of the Fallen Angel’ and its critique of Judeo-Christian violence. Only one ‘person’ really understood the original Jesus or Yehoshua and that was his greatest adversary, Satan.

Just one detail about the article
“Germany was threatening England with the Kaiser building a fleet to take over the oceans”
Perhaps the author means to express the opinion held by Britain.
But I comment as if it was an attempt to be objective.
In reality it was Britains elites who were openly suggesting that they ought to begin sinking german merchant ships before they had built too many.
This underlines that what Britain feared had nothing to do with Germany aiming ‘to take over the oceans’.
Germany however needed protection for the merchant ships.
Including protection against blockades of ports.
Britain planned to use blockades during WWI but the war was so profitable so the anglosaxons actually smuggled food to the Germans to prolong the war but started a blockade after the war to starve the defeated nation.
Further Britain feared much more that Germany would extend trade via the land route.
Actually the last segment of the Berlin Bagdad railway was going through the region where WWI began.
It is important that at the time Germany was able to thrive under conditions of peace and had no need for war. And the same was true for Russia. Both wanted peace.
Just like China and Russia do today and like before, only the anglosaxons need war and destruction
@petergrfstrm. I agree with your interpretation of Great Britain’s attempts to suppress German shipbuilding; not only merchant marine, there was also a warship rivalry:
“My dear, I am only a silly woman but it seems to me that Dreadnaughts are the sort of thing it is better to have too many of than too few” — attributed to the Queen of England in bed with His Majesty.
Re commercial rivalry, His Majesty urgently needed to prevent Germany from becoming the main industrial rival to Great Britain. Before WW1 Britain was “the workshop of the world”, but the City of London was already outsourcing British Capital to develop industry in the Colonies. Germany had few colonies, so most German capital was staying at home to develope German industry. Britain wanted to cripple German industry by throttling German capital: hence WW1 and the imposition of punitive debt at Versailles.
“Lord Grey, you’ve got to get us into this war” — King George V to his Prime Minister in 1914, when a war broke out between Germany and France.
The most sinister Russian (according to English media) was the Czarina’s priest Rasputin who tried to persuade Czar Nicolas not to join King George in “getting into this war”, WW1.

‘In 1933 Roosevelt lent Hitler 1 billion gold dollars, England lent him 2 billion gold dollars . . .’
I wonder if these were personal loans or were they Central/Private Bank Arrangements? Well you had Norman at BoE, Benjamin Strong The Bankers Trust America, Hjalmar Schacht at the Reichsbank and Emile Moreau Banque de France AKA – The Lords of Finance.
If you back both sides, can call heads & tails at a coin flip, then you can’t lose. Whichever side loses you have a foot in the door and Rothschild Central Bank are still collecting reparations from Germany, who like the Japanese have lost souls to the Grim Reaper.
So all very cosy in the heady days of Central/Private Bank skulduggery and lending credence to All Wars Are Banker Wars.
This Time It’s Different – The Central Banks are far less disposed to throw money at a lost cause, that and the puke that’s sitting, no festering, on their balance sheets. This time they’re up against Russia with little chance of squeezing vulture reparations over the next half a century.
greatest spy ever at NATO headquarters: US chokehold of germany+EU just became stronger than ever. At 5min 0 seconds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA1g3ze5okI
e.g., merkel refused the F-35 but now germany announced it will earmark ~10 billion for buying… F-35s.
Force-fed US weapons, together with the sales of ultra-expensive US LNG to the UE, is just the beginning. US will force, if necessary manu militari, all non-eurasian producers of gas, oil, and raw materials to sell their stuff in dollars.
To this end the USA will soon fully subjugate the entirety of latin america and southern africa.
And fascistic euro-supremacists that now control the EU unopposed will prey for Lebensraum in the mediterranean and northern africa (with US permission).
RUS&CN cannot (yet?) oppose the militaries/navies of US&EU in either region. The US is about to be flush with trillions and non-RUS-CN cash again…
What I don’t understand is why the German People allow the Yanks to stay on their soil. They must hate the bastards telling them what to do & their overall arrogance. Wife & I visited Germany in 2016 spending a couple of mths there in Various Cities. We spoke to a lot of Gemans & the majority hated Merkel.
Please tell me – why not kick them out ? There are only round 35,000 American soldiers so shouldn’t be a big task if push comes to shove.
it is the result of 70 years of indoctrination, selection processes.in media, administration, and politics.
And today: massive war propaganda. I guess like every where in zone A.
Voice of reason trumps Mr Push and Mr Shove, unless one is in the Ukraine, where reason does not exist, clear?
James I wants to know “why the German People allow the Yanks to stay on their soil.” Good question.
But it’s not only the Germans, but millions of Western Europeans who do not take kindly to these US bases occupying their lands.
Please understand, the US Hegemony, isn’t merely a group of military bases stationed around the world. The real power of the US comes from its Financial Centers: Big Banks, Hedge Funds, the Stock Market, The Fed, etc, etc; ad infinitum.
In the last several decades, the US Financial Centers have made intricate ties with the Western European Banks, Financial Markets, etc. Guess who has been earnings Mega-Bucks, or Mega-euros from this insidious relations? Yes, those Europeans who are deeply immersed in “The Market.” That includes the big politicians, economists, stock brokers, EU NATO members and the super wealthy natives of Western Europe. “The ties that binds.”
Meaning, millions of Europe’s average citizens, have little to no financial/political / or social power.
2011 when the war broke out in Libya, the then foreign minister of Germany, Mr Guido Westerwelle was against it and quite furious for German standards back then. How do I know this. The information was published only once in a major news paper in Germany. It was also noted that Germany was heavily criticized for it stand. Also Worth mentioning is, it was only the minister who voiced his disapproval of the action. There were no other follow up on this issue in the media. A few months after he had to leave. He fell ill with cancer. I personally think he was taken out and it was also a warning to the rest.
For me that was the turning point in this ongoing saga especially for Germany. They were just waiting for the wright people to come to power for them to act.
What a great piece. Thank you, Pepe. Once again.

Old Rublev who likes to graffiti at the edges of Pepe’s stylistic upper-cuts, dreams, in B&W, like in Borge’s chessboard, he sees old battlefields being trampled over by endless armies through the ages (Lord of the Rings!) is the old game played over and over again trusting this time it will be the last, perhaps…and like many this days he is too a die-hard, desktop general (Show us some maps!) we never learn, relish on suffering, but the picture is clear, the dream is real. Did you see it or did you miss it? Did you pay attention to the warning? it was as real but it was dismissed, now reckon…”there will be no winners…” (Putin). But let’s get back to the old map, let’s use an ordinary map, um, of course it will be the map of the site SF about to go for a month reporting and the map hasn’t move a pixel! but it’s the old 404 map and who cares if we can’t pronounce the names of towns or cities. we are in expectation of what is going to be the next move or why is not happening. Well, it’s because it already happened! The war is over because it happened in 404, it was a computer error, in the age of disinformation it happened in all screens. But the war over, cities get bypassed, cauldrons not closed shut but left to simmer, many unexpected things are being dealt with, after all is an old battlefield and admitted it, old general, it passed you over, it went over the horizon (Martinov?) it went khinsal on you (or was it a tic-tok trick?) anyway, it touch a nerve as it should, like that mini-mushroom cloud supposedly on an airfield outside of Kiev for anyone to see?up or down, every way you place your map there is not a clear picture, even if you try to place other maps next to yours in a colorful tapestry there is no way out for what is always ahead, the always cunning future…
” the same blitzkrieg that SVR, Russian foreign intel, concluded would be launched on February 22″

The “Supreme” Targets WERE, since these are all Mission Accomplished: 1. more money and power for Military Industrial Congressional Complex, 2. changing the subject from the economic and social suicidal COVID policies, 3. The destruction of the EU as an economic power independent of the US. Subordinate to those targets WERE the re-militarization of Germany and increasing the defense budgets Sweden and the rest of Europe. There is also the possibility of getting Finland to join NATO.
Regime Change was never even a fantasy they believed in.
I see a war between two concepts:
1. A world run for the benefit of corporations in a virtual space of democratic simulacra, virtual economic financialization and imposed virtual colonization of the excluded world, assisted by a dogmatic deconstruction of society and nation.
2. A world based on real multipolarity and economic pluralism, where nation-states are sovereign to design their own development based on actual real industrial and resources economy, preserve their cultural and societal traditional and tested values and freely/respectfully interacts with the world.
Cheers from France.
I myself think, that VVP proclaiming “denacification” has managed the largest troll in history – since if we manage(god willing), we will accomplish the dejewifation of the fiscal/economic/political/cultural sphere.
And in the end, call it whatever You want, name it whatever You want, explain away why, what and when – that is where it’s @…😉
No western media covered this for obvious reasons. In fact cbc said he got a standing ovation . But fidelito was called a facist in the eu parliment and most walked out before his speech. I know i know the eu is more facist than most. But the come uppence was delicious to be snubbed by his peers. His WEF nazi government has taken a hit lately while the attention is on russia.

Miss Hitler Contestant Jailed for Membership in Banned ‘Neo-Nazi’ Group Up For Parole, May Walk Free
https://sputniknews.com/20220325/miss-hitler-contestant-jailed-for-membership-in-banned-neo-nazi-group-up-for-parole-may-walk-free-1094175481.html
Hey, no doubt the brit public skool bois are thinking she could be a public relations asset in israel’s ukraine freakshow. :-D
Remember that Soviet Russia only invaded “their” part of Poland some ten days or more after the Nazi Germans had reached the agreed line of division and started penetrating provocations across that “Red Line” og division. Also, the areas under Soviet occupation were mostely non-polish speaking areas.
“Soon the Azov battalion was incorporated as the Azov Regiment to the Ukrainian National Guard”.
Just as the Waffen-SS – originally created as Hitler’s personal bodyguard – was built up into a massive fighting force external to the Army, but essentially a core part of the German armed forces. They were rigorously selected and trained, and got the cream of all the best equipment.
Compared to the Waffen-SS, the Ukrainian Nazis really are “farcical”. But they are just as good – if not better – at murdering innocent civilians. The difference is that the Waffen-SS have a strong claim to be the strongest land fighting force in history, whereas the Nazis mostly seem to be no match for Russia’s disciplined soldiers.
With all respect, but “and got the cream of all the best equipment” it should be not taken as a complete true, and i will give you several examples: at first, the fighting units of the SS at the begining of the war were equiped with mostly czech made weapons, instead of usual german manufactured weapons; another example, at the formations of the 9th and 10th SS Panzer divisions, the panzer regiments were eqquiped with panzer IV tanks but, because there were not enough vehicles of this type available, StuG III were used to fill the numbers. Also in the eve of the Normandy landings, the best equiped armoured unit on the western front was an Heer (Army) unit, the Panzer Lehr Division, not an SS one. Similarly on the same time period, on the eastern front, the best equiped panzer division was the Grossdeutschland Panzer Division, again, a Heer (Army) unit. Only after the assassination attempt on 20 July 1944 against the leadership of Germany the SS was viewed as more trust worthy and given a more proeminent role in various offensives, like the Ardennes Wacht am Rhein operation, and they were given priority for supply and equipment. However, when comparing performances of the two main armies involved in this offensive, the 5th Panzer Armee performed much better then the 6th SS Panzer Armee. So at best, all german formations were equiped or re-equiped mostly with what was available at time.
Those that share the same ideology, and escape the purge will inevitably find their way to the west. Western Europe or north America.
Former CIA director David Petraeus proudly said that the Russia-Ukraine conflict “is to make NATO great again.”
Two sides of the same coin.
“As for Ukrainian neo-Nazis of all stripes’ they are the baby of the ZUSA. The US brass is ripe to decorate the Arlington memorial and the Normandy Cemetery and Memorial with Swastikas.
Glory to Nuland-Kagan and Semite-led Banderites!
The US brass and ziocons-in charge have been the nurturers and promoters of modern-day Nazis. Amazing.
Zionists are the Nazis of today.
Actually Anna, nazism, faschism and most the “isms” of today would not even exist, if not for the straight out hatred the nation/religion and the notion of superiority of the chosen people have established against all of humanity.
Please, do not believe me. I urge You not to.
Look it up.
All, what You see around you is a mere reaction to this original claim.
That is why we are called “reactionaries”.
In a nutshell…
Well…Thank you Mr. Escobar for eloquently summarizing what I have been pondering in my head and trying to point out publicly. He used the exaxt words I used before, i.e the West has been outsmarted, outgunned and checkmated all across every section of the board. I also pointed out my fear as far as the short-lived empire’s last dying kicks will be the most desperate and dangerous. If according to Gonzalo Lira, he was disgusted with the west’s MO when it comes to War, well we ain’t seen nothing yet. I foresee directed destruction of Europe and its peoples for several reasons:
a). To blame and put a damper on Russia and her progress (de-dollarization, Eastward integration).
b). To destroy ALL of Europe’s industry & technology (simply because US is too far behind so why bother when you can just reset the stage) prosperity and nations’ identity (social economic, religion and culture).
c). To disable Europe from ever becoming a market place for anything Eurasian or BRI or any Integration for that matter.
Gladio networks, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Ukronazis and whatever iteration of CIA babayaga bogeyman will look like child’s play. With all the attempted manipulation of religion (Pope’s wish for consecration, Ukraine’s Orthodoxy schism), hate and racism formented and unleashed for desensitization of the populous, I fear the next stage will be more medieval something akin to Roman Empire level butchery. Empire knows its already dead, but it will cause such an upheaval in its death throngs so that whatever part or form that will survive, might have a few advantages when it rises again from the rabble.
That’s why I wish for Russia to be Ready for the next stage; this operation is for all its intents or purposes is wasting too much resources, energy, time and sidetracking the Kremlin from preparing for the ultimate showdown.
The Russians should take a page from the Assyrians. Skin the captured Azov militants alive and then hang their skins on the city walls as an example to other Nazis in other parts of Ukraine.
It bears repeating, but Nazism is merely American and Western values without their facade of “freedom and democracy.”
Nazism represents in more naked form what America and the West represent: genocidal exploitation, White supremacy, and 500 years of continuing Western colonialism.
Whereas the Germany espoused White Aryan Supremacy, the Anglo Americans promote White Anglo Supremacy–albeit today disguised behind a phony multiracial mask in which people of color are promoted as symbolic House Negroes and tokens.
In short, Nazism=Americanism/Westernism

My oh my, what a brilliant analysis as to the true essence of Western ideology. Ask any aware subaltern anywhere in the world, as a matter of fact any genuinely honest human being; who are the terrorists and the ones in the West will tell you, it’s all of the exceptional discoverers of “world” starting with Colon and Da Gama.
I like Pepe a lot but I don’t buy his western russophobia theory. The only historically consistent russophobes are the British. In the old days of the Empire, this quirk was often masked by the continental rivalry in Asia, where Russia was perceived by Britain as the danger to its imperial crown jewel of India. But the British dislike of Russians was more pronounced than that and visible even at times of formal alliances. The Christian socialist F.D. Maurice wrote after the Paris treaty with Russia (1856) that The Times was “where the extremists of all stripes could unite in Russophobia”. Churchill’s dislike of all things Russians was legendary and included claims that his own dirty ditties were translations of Pushkin. The French and Germans were never “russophobic” in the same sense as the Brits. They had disdain for Russia as a European backwater, and generally hated bolshevism (even their communists, like Rosa Luxemburg and Louis Althusser). But cultural russophobes as such they were not. The Italians have traditionally liked Russia, since the time Suvorov drove the French out of Nothern Italy. As for the Americans, they are cultural cretins to begin with. They had great rivalry with the Soviets but today’s anti-Russian media hysteria is a totally new thing. Even during the coldest years of the Cold War, the idea of banning Dostoyevsky or Russian vodka would have been unthinkable.

Then, financial difficulties arose, donors arrived…
https://www.bitchute.com/video/oGFCZaequiCt/
…and here we are…
But I agree, it is russophobia per se. It is the hate of the goyim…
Oh lemme remind you – the bidet(Biden) family of affairs offshore…
What has changed since WWII? With Churchill being in bankruptcy?
The same fiscal interests has gotten us to kill our brethren all over and over again…My favourite book, Catch22 is there for everyone to read. What has changed?
…and more importantly…which “ism” is in fashion right now?
Fash?
Famin?
Econo?
Race?
Gender?
I myself think back and see paralells with BOSHEVISM. Bolshe in Russian means the majority. Well, they did not have that back then, but claimed it.
It is the same thing happening now. A tiny minority urging for you and him to fight.
AGAIN…
It is now not the time of 1984…it is the time of the Kalashnikov, of the appropriate caliber pointed at all the wrong directions…
Sorta…cos the Russians are dismantling the empire of lies.
…and I do not know, what will come of it. Does anyone?
I will work towards to balance the ship, according to my understanding of the situation on the ground…That is my promise.
This is a very informative piece, both historically and analytically. Well done!
Repost this part to ensure it didn’t get buried in the commentary :
“Erik “Blackwater” Prince, in 2020, struck a deal with the Ukrainian military that would enable his renamed outfit, Academi, to supervise Azov.”
There is something that commentators on the Ukrainian “nazi” culture miss in their analysis. The nazis and fascists always attracted the criminal element and drew on tradition of political gangsterism. But in the Balkan mountains, the Carpathians and Western Ukraine, there is is a long history of banditism which predates any sort of political consciousness. In the Yugoslav wars there were nasty paramilitaries among all the participants. In Croatia, the butcher of Slavonia, Mercep was a career criminal. Arkan, before finding the idea of fighting for Serbia, was a bank robber in Sweden. The Kosovo Liberation Army were into drug smuggling, and dealing in human organs of murdered Serbians.
The northern Carpathia and Galicia have had many prominent mountain bandits. The Slovak national hero, Juro Janosik’s band owned the Tatra mountain roads both in Slovakia and Poland in the beginning of 18. century. A similar, Robin-Hood-like legend, the Ukrainian Oleksa Dovbush, operated in the mountains a generation later. In early 20th century, Nikola Suhay’s gang, terrorized the Ruthenian lands of Western Ukraine.
It is now almost forgotten but in the period of chaos around Maidan in 2014, there was a brief period of revival of banditism in the western regions, targetting mostly travellers on trains and roads. Some of these had political agenda, but clearly only as a secondary motive. Of course, the most notorious of them, Oleksandr Muzychko, was a “Right Sector activist” or so we were told by the media. But while the video record of him, is mostly threatening the officers of local administrations, the real reason he was ambushed and shot by the SBU was that he led a gang who made the travelling by train from Lvov or Rivno, a very expensive proposition.
So just in case people are confused by the reports of large scale home break-ins or department stores looting by the retreating natsiki, it has a long tradition, and it has nothing to do with patriotism.
Paragraph after paragraph of sweeping claims by Pepe about what British or American motivations were and actions that were taken 75 years ago without a hint of evidence to back any of it up. If this represents analysis, any fool can do it.
Aah, wonderful. So, you are going to write us an analysis? I’m waiting for your analysis as ‘any fool can do it’. Should be real easy.
Who has directed the latest performance of the world theater?
The directors will be the same as in 1917 (intervention of the US military in Europe) – in fact, the title of the play has always been the same since then: “All power to the dollar and the chosen country.
What does the victorious alliance for this goal look like in 2022? that is the current problem of the directors. And how to convince the masses that the opponents are evil without calling their own goal ‘All power to the dollar and the chosen country’? One thing is clear: those who do not want to submit to this goal must be finished off. A proven method to do this is to set two recalcitrant states against each other (e.g. Iraq against Iran) or to set a willing country against a recalcitrant one (e.g. Ukraine against Russia).
I do not believe that a Nato-EU country leader is unaware of the title of the world theater ‘All Power to the Dollar and the Chosen Country’ – without the support of the cartel media and the corresponding human relations they would not have reached their position at all. What can be in such a person of spirit or character, if the task to be fulfilled consists only in following a clearly given party line, or in parroting the phrases of being good and being evil of those who do not want to accept the title of the world theater?! Therefore, the top politicians of NATO-EU country remind me of amateur actors in a play arranged by professionals, of the cast of a student theater or of the soapy top personnel of a supranational corporation.
We must be aware, the world theater entitled ‘All Power to the Dollar and the Chosen Country’ has no spiritual content: the only goal is power itself (even if the exercise of power is by a descent community, that is not spiritual content). Spiritual content is tied to worthiness.
This raises the question of what Nato-EU countries understand by what they constantly mouth and cite as the reason for their intervention in the lives of other states, namely the question of their understanding of democracy? A world theater with the title ‘All power to the dollar and the chosen country’ has not the aim ‘cooperation on an equal basis’ but domination over others! Therefore, its goal cannot be self-thinking people with lively intellectual exchange: The goal of the neoliberal financial power is to split, to dumb down and to present to the masses through its cartel media evil dictators on a continuous basis by means of which this mass can ethically inflate itself. Characteristic of the evil dictators is that they have no interest in subordinating themselves to a world theater with the title ‘All power to the dollar and the chosen country’.
PS: By ‘chosen country’ you may understand either the USA or Israel – both suffer from the disease of exceptionalism.
It is ugly but this is how the idiot-networks of NATO work:

Good that you mention it again!
An otherwise good summary of the rise of neo-N power post-Maidan is let down by this claim about NED … “CIA offshoot NED even started deleting records about training members of Aidar”.
It’s likely true, but the source is pathetic … a single RT tweet saying “allegedly”.
There really is no point asserting important things unless accessible source information is provided.
who is fact checking your fact chekers ses…and beyond?
To me, one of the movies, that apply is Dune – when one of the guild proclaims, that we see plans beyond plans…beyond plans.

Take it or leave it.
You forgot Italy: in that country no russiophobia has traditionally existed, and the Italian communist party was very close to USSR. Italians and Serbs have been on good relationship for many years. Italians used to have very high consideration of Russian culture, especially literature and music. The communists even almost managed to take power in Italy, but US/CIA intervened actually avoiding that. They used violent means, too, to achieve that objective: at the time, in fact, the fracture between East and West was passing throughout Italy, with everyone observing AND intervening to pull the country on his side. Even though they managed to make Italy stay in the western protectorate, no real anti-Russian sentiment ever grew, except for an anti-communist view typical of half of the Italian population (but that was more political ideology than cultural or ethnical stance). BUT nowadays, almost nothing remains of those sentiments: all the hysteria against Russia you can see now… it is ALL created and inflated by MSM, and nothing else. On the contrary: if Italians are skeptical about the official narrative today, it’s because, in the end, they historically never had real acrimony with Russia.
I must ask this: Is the telegram link really Pepe, or just some fan account?
All of the above, in fact just a quick recap, shows that in Ukraine there’s no difference whatsoever between white neo-Nazis and brown-colored al-Qaeda/ISIS/Daesh, as much as neo-Nazis are just as “Christian” as takfiri Salafi-jihadis are “Muslim”.
All this endless pontificating about anti-Semitism and the Zionists 1st choice for enforcers is? Yes of course, the very folks we must exterminate per MSM.
The #1 enemy is Russia. When they say a group is banned in Russia, they are not just spewing the company line!
Every time they announce some news of Ukraine they use the word unprovoked to describe the escalation of hostilities that have gone on non-stop since 2014. The effectiveness of their programming is mind boggling. Keep up the good work Pepe!
