Meanwhile, forces of LPR and Russia have been advancing in the Severodonetsk-Lysichansk agglomeration. After the fall of Rubezhnoe, Kyiv troops focused on the defense of the southern part of Severodonetsk and the center of Lysichansk.
I am Vietnamese. I totally understand RU’s reaction to Ukraine.
The situation is somewhat comparable to that of Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge vis a vis Vietnam in 1975. It was a national security and existential issue for Vietnam when Cambodia was in the hands of a hostile 100% anti-Vietnamese regime receiving orders from a foreign superpower.
Vietnam decided to finish up the issue after three and a half years (from May 1975 to Dec 1978), expecting and accepting the Chinese retaliation. Vietnam invaded Cambodia and less than 2 months later China attacked Vietnam (resulting in a 1 month war with 100 thousand casualties on each side). The US sided with the Khmer Rouge and embargoed Vietnam. Same as now with the Nazi.
When you compare the balance of power between Vietnam and China then and between RU and the collective West now, it is laughable!
The point is a country needs to do what it needs to do when it comes to national security.
I am just amazed that RU showed so much patience. She waited 8 years!
I toured Vietnam and Cambodia a few years ago. I travelled with my son and both felt in love of Vietnam and Saigon. I found quite confusing the situation that you just referred: USA backing the loonies of Kmer Rouge, then China. Any sources I can read that you can suggest?
A week ago my son and I were recalling that trip and we both mentioned the will to go back to Saigon and spend some time there.
I can say that we toured “The Killing Fields” movie when we went there: The area were the US embassy was located at the “fall of Saigon”, the former CIA building where the last American chopper left (sort of Kabul run away) decades ago.
Hi Jorge,
Regarding China, it’s well documented that the Khmer Rouge were fully supported, armed, by China. And when China attacked Vietnam in Feb 1979, Deng Shao Ping also said it was to teach Vietnam a lesson. The hot sino vietnamese war was 1 month duration, but the low intensity tension lasted 10 more years until 1989 when the 2 countries signed the friendship treaty.
The US did not give material support to the Khmer Rouge, but diplomatic one. They, along with China of course, kept the Khmer Rouge at the Cambodian spot in the UN. And the embargo imposed on Vietnam by the US since 1975 increased after Vietnam invaded Cambodia (the embargo was lifted in 1996 under Bill Clinton’s presidency)
Regards
It was a crazy situation.
Basically the west punished vietnam to overthrow one of the most brutal regime in the history..while pham van dong should have been awarded the nobel price to finally end that brutal regime
It was a post vietnam war time so the US was resentful..and post nixon china meeting..so the us would not go against china.
Vietnamese people are among the nicest..as well as toughest in the world. Be nice, they ll open their home…be an ass..and they ll kick your ass big time. So much respect.
( I have Lived in hanoi for few years..miss it dearly)
Indeed they are, Vietnamese have kicked the arses if Chinese, Japanese, France and the Empire. Nice as friends but tough to the top if you mess with them.
The US definitely gave material support to the KR, it was done through the Thai military. At the Thai/Kampuchean border humanitarian aid was redistributed away from refugee camps and to KR scum.
Jorge, if you want to read a solid depiction of the topic, I recommend “The rise and fall of communism” by a British academic, Archie Brown. It is precisely as BN tells it is, but the details are even more bizarre. A whole chapter is dedicated to this entangled story and the US role in it.
Anh em hoặc chị em,
Tôi thấy bạn đã nhận được những bài học lịch sử và làm lệch một mặt bài học lịch sử Hoa Kỳ từ những người kém trình độ hơn bạn biết. Vui vẻ với điều đó. Tôi biết Hoa Kỳ đã hỗ trợ Khmer Đỏ từ những người xung quanh gia đình tôi đã làm điều đó. Tôi phản chiến.

Brother or sister,
I see you are already getting the history lessons and skewed one sided American history lessons from people less qualified than you to know. Have fun with that. I know the US supported the Khmer Rouge
Andrei Martyanov mentioned in one of his videos, paraphrasing,
that “Canada’s foreign minister was granddaughter to that SS guy”
I can find no link between Joly or Freeland with Bandera.
Can anyone fill this in?
Her granfather received from the nazis a printhouse that belonged to a Jewish person. He printed a pro-nazi newspaper. It’s pretty evident tha he didn’t win it in a swwepstake but was received based on his sympathies with the nazis.
I don’t know if this might help you, but “Amazing Polly” does makes an epic history between the links of the expatriate Ukrainian immigrants in Canada and the Kyiv regime today: https://www.bitchute.com/video/VHud_qBZrhM/
That is pretty well known scandal in Canadia politics. She claimed that she didn’t know her grandfather was ukro-nazi. There should be mountains of reporting on it.
Canadians should not be surprised by the fact that our Liberal Foreign Minister, Chrystia Freeland, has been hiding a big Nazi skeleton in her family closet.
Not with Bandera himself, but Freeland’s grandfather fought in some Nazi-alligned militia in the Ukraine during World War II. Then, later in the war, as the Russians were driving the Nazis westward, he did also, and ended up in Canada, as did many other Ukrainians that fought with the Nazis. To-day, their descendants, like Freeland, are a blight on Canada
Does anybody know if the latest motherboards/mainboards and latest AMD CPUs, will work with windows XP? IOW, if anybody has experience/knowledge of it working, no need to do any researching (which, of course, I could do myself, but I think this would be faster).
A yes answer with the name of the board & CPU would be great.
Many thanks.
Do not consider running Windows XP except to recover some data. It has no security updates for several years already. If you really need it then consider using it in a virtual machine (see Virtual Box on Linux). Good luck
Forget it. I used to work in IT repairshop, we had problems with recent CPUs and motherboards even with Windows 7, especially if some customers asked for Windows 7 32bit, and considering Windows XP is by default 32bit, I think you can just forget it. The biggest problem we encounered with Win7 is trying to find drivers for graphic, wifi and sound cards.
Hello Ralph,
The problem is that XP does not have all the drivers that interface between the operating system and all devices such as video card, sound, cpu, ssd, etc.
So, years ago, I installed linux (xubuntu in this case) which handles old and new hardware, much more efficient and quicker.
Within ubuntu, I installed virtualbox.org’s software and created a virtual XP operating system, which runs many times faster than the native version.
In my case, I keep using the virtual XP to do all my visual basic program.
I just bought a very fast notebook, for gaming, 3 TB ssd and sdd drives. The XP session just flies, no problem with drivers and compatiblity.
Hope this helps, regards,
Geneva Observer: I know. I’ve tried Linux & will prob move over to that, eventually. Sick of m$ (only been using m$ for 31 yrs; sad, I know) coming out with new – & often worse – versions which is like hiring an interior designer to mess up your home every year or so.
Vedran: Mine still works – graphics & wifi, printers etc. Didn’t like the trash vista, 7 (with the absolute rubbish search files function, compared to XP), 8 nor 10 (forget 11).
Marc: still works with everything I need. Sometimes problems with sites, then I just use 10, but don’t like it. XP64 would be nice, but the drivers for the main/motherboard I think would be a problem. I believe can’t use latest intel unless using win 10 (that is, m$). I prefer latest AMD now anyway.
I’ve run and are running Windows XP in Virtual Box on Ubuntu 12 to 20 (= 10+ years old version to latest) – and AMD CPUs. Works just fine (running standard apps. like text editors, word processors, spreadsheets and browsers). Though USB is a bit of a pain to setup. Virtual Box of course, shields it from the low-level motherboard and CPU details. Speed is perfectly good (for the standard apps). Doubt you could or would run games on it though. Wireless and/or wired Internet/Ethernet works fine too.
– Does anybody know if the latest motherboards/mainboards and latest AMD CPUs,
You have the option of buying a CPU from the XP area.
This CPU (2010) is maybe too new, but look at price: Intel Xeon L5630 @ 2.13GHz pre-owned $3.99 (speed equal to Intel i5)
Also, you don’t need Linux to run Virtual Box. It runs on Window too. So if you’ve got a late-model Windows machine, just install Virtual Box. And then XP into that. You can at least try it for free.
Also, don’t forget that most apps that support XP are pretty ancient now. Eg; Firefox is version 52. Must be about 10 years old, and struggles with some of the latest CSS and Javascript (some sites will bre pretty much unuseable – though most still work).
The day Russia starts selling its resources in Rubles, it will start winning. Until then, Russia is its own worst enemy. Which nation fund its foes?
The West has put sanctions on Russia and frozen its central bank reserves. Russia needs to stop selling resources to these nations in their private currencies ($€£¥…). It needs to demand payment from them in Rubles. These adversaries will have to do currency swaps. Russia needs to refuse currency swap with any nation that wants to freeze its reserves. These adversaries will be forced to unfreeze the reserves to do trade with Russia. Will Russia checkmate its adversaries?
Russia needs to end the floating of Ruble too. It can’t let its Ruble’s value be defined by markets controlled by its adversaries and traitors. Time to end this looting and proactively manage the currency value. There is no sovereignty without monetary sovereignty.
There are no contracts with adversaries. They end when an entity becomes hostile.
Let’s see if Russia wants to be sovereign and smart. Don’t be your own worst enemy, Russia. Transcend to achieve sovereignty, security and prosperity.
Perhaps the US and EU are scared, and that’s why the EU is talking about cutting out all of Russian energy? That would be a lot of Rubles, and basically, Russia would be beating the west at its own game. But, there’s also the rest of the world than can use them.
I think Russia plans to do it but it needs some floor before it.
If it will start trading with China and India in rubles that will help to stabilise the currency and then can take such step with the West.
But in my opinion what Russia needs to do is to stop all export all trade with the West suddenly. No more gas, no more Uranium, no more palladium, no more niquel, cuprum….
As soon as they do the best it will be. Hit them and hit them hard. European Union will suffer social conflicts that have not been seen in decades.
I am from European Union and this conflicts are already here, prices are intolerable. Russia just need to push and Europe will fall in the anarchy and I will directly blame all this Europeans puppets of the US.
And if Irán, Venezuela, Arabia Saudí and other exporters play the same it will be gorgeous.
Don’t give the Western regime any hope. They are a danger for the humankind
I totally agree with you. Here’s the opinion of an expert.
.
Paul Craig Roberts: Russia needs to convert trade into rubles – and the West will ask for mercy
.
The West has nothing that Russia would badly need, and he, in turn, depends on Russian energy resources and natural resources, economist Paul Craig Roberts said in an interview with Unz Review. Therefore, he offers Russia to transfer settlements with Europe into rubles, and then the West will agree to all Russian conditions.
Washington is ” stupid enough ” to think sanctions could bring Russia to its knees, economist Paul Craig Roberts told the Unz Review. ” For sanctions to have a harmful effect on Russia, bad decisions by Russia itself are needed – such as the Russian Central Bank is now taking .”
According to the expert, the West has nothing that Russia would need, but Western countries depend on Russian energy resources and minerals. “The West will soon beg for mercy and will agree to whatever Russia asks ,” said Paul Craig Roberts.
But Russia, he says, cannot exercise its power over the West because Russian economists and the Central Bank have been ” brainwashed by American neoliberal economists .” They suggested that Russia needs foreign currency for development. ” If you believe that your destiny depends on foreign exchange, then you continue to keep your enemy alive by selling him your strategic assets .”
According to the economist, Washington is now taking advantage of Russia’s targeted actions in Ukraine – ” this gives Washington time to conduct a psychological warfare campaign that would increase hatred of Russia throughout the Western world and all other parts of the world that are available to the Western media .” In fact, Washington is thus trying to secure control over Europe. “ Washington, with the help of presstitutes, takes Russia beyond the bounds of decency, makes Russia inaccessible for cooperation with Europe .”
Therefore, since Russia is struggling with the internal fifth column, Paul Craig Roberts invites her to pay attention to those who advocate cooperation with the West, who “ want to sacrifice Russian sovereignty for the sake of globalism and in order to be part of the West .”
Since Moscow was denied access to foreign capital, the Central Bank of Russia will have to ” do its job ” and finance the country’s internal development. “ Foreign investment in Russia only helps to impoverish the country, since what is earned is transferred abroad, withdrawn from the country. In fact, the sanctions and the blocking of Russian bank deposits are a good reason for Russia to regain ownership of its own resources by nationalizing all foreign investment in Russia .” But Paul Craig Roberts doubts the Kremlin understands this.
At the same time, the economist believes that the Central Bank of Russia raised the key rate to 20% in vain. “The Russian Central Bank is unknowingly serving the West and the success of Western sanctions. Russia needs to bill its energy and minerals in rubles, thus maintaining its own currency, not the currency of enemies, and introduce controls on the exchange to prevent currency speculation , ”suggests Paul Craig Roberts.
Moreover, he refers to the head of the Russian Central Bank, Elvira Nabiullina, as a hostile foreign agent, although he admits that she hardly understands what she is doing. “The Russian Central Bank is subsidizing the success of Western sanctions. It’s mindless ,” Paul Craig Roberts stated in an interview.
The journalist asks him how to explain the fact that the Americans applaud the anti-democratic sanctions against Russia, introduced bypassing any international organization. The economist has an answer: in the US, Canada and Europe there are not enough independent media that would make honest reports. Instead, according to him, the West is transmitting information sent down from the ruling elite.
And, according to him, there are no tribunals and international laws that could be applied against the West. Russia’s mistake is that it is responding to the accusations, although, according to the expert, it is better for it to remain silent and continue to do its job. He notes that it is not necessary to talk about facts with the West, but to draw ” red lines ” and destroy everyone who crosses them. ” Only in this way will Russia put an end to Western provocations, and peace will come to the world .”
According to the journalist, now the same people who protested against racism in the United States are expressing hatred towards the Russians. “ The average person doesn’t have the time, energy, interest, or skill to figure out what’s going on ,” Paul Craig Roberts replies. Therefore, they listen to what the ” presstitutes ” tell them. “ It’s very easy to make Americans hate Russians because they got used to it during the Cold War of the 20th century. Americans are used to the fact that Russians are enemies. The Russian side of history is blocked in the West. So the only information a Westerner gets is official rhetoric ,” concluded economist Paul Craig Roberts in an interview with Unz Review.
Meanwhile in Kev itself life goes on pretty close to normal for a city in a country in the middle of a war: no problems with water, electricity, public transportation, communications, television and even the supermarkets’ functioning. Those living in Kiev are not likely to attribute this to the extraordinary efforts of the Russian army to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure but rather to the success of “resistance.” This can only postpone unnecessarily the inevitable Ukie surrender and increase losses on the Russian side (especially loss of life of valuable commanders who lead from the front, not from the safety of their Florida headquarters as “nashi partniori” do when they wage war). Start at least by knocking out their communication facilities… On the wisdom of this “politeness” I am in full agreement with Paul Craig Roberts.
I think it’s a simple matter of them being more loyal to their tribe than to Russia. Jewish intellectuals in the 1980s got a free university education in the Soviet Union, then defected to the USA or UK and used that education to spread malicious propaganda against their “homeland.” I don’t know how in good conscience anyone could ever want to do that.
russia riches have dazzled the jews, the germans, the brits, the french…they came incredibly close in the nineties to owning it & cannot fully grasp it has completely slipped out of reach. the hate, the fury is only a small part of the pain…russia, owning russia, was to pay for the grand punch bowl party & to bankroll the next. it never occurred to them russia would rouse herself from their great rape, certainly never to be an adversary let alone a contender. the fury is mixed with disbelief, loss of what was how it was to play out, & bewilderment—they couldn’t’ve gotten it wrong? the wealth is after all theirs by right of their desire & desperate slathering coveting. very like the brits still thinking/imagining/wishing iranian oil to be british. delusion…there must be a book as on grief describing its stages.
This is just my take: they feel they have given so much to the progress of Russia, they deserve more at the table. Some kind of “manifest destiny” if you can call it that
Then there’s the old legend of the khazarian kingdom and there’s nothing semitic about it, just opportunistic
And finally, they really believe they know more than the pagan russians on what’s good and what’s not, so, they want to be ones to own everything and trade everything with their deep millenium old networks across the world
In essence, they aint’ stopping till it’s all theirs one way or the other
Remember the old jewish adage: “possession is 90% ownership”, they will first get it somehow and finally own it
In short, they hate Russia and wish to erase it for historical reasons (revenge for ending Ancient Khazaria; periodic ostracism/separation to Settlement of Pale..) and in last three centuries for defending their land and resources from looting and dismemberment.
AFAIK, no Jews were mass killed in recent Russian history. In fact the reverse is glaringly obvious, when you factor in who funded/armed/brainwashed/otherwise supported and launched the invasions of Napoleon, Bolsheviks, Hitler and even the UkroNazis to the current moment.
“𝙒𝙚 𝙅𝙚𝙬𝙨, 𝙬𝙚, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙮𝙚𝙧𝙨, 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙮𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧.” – 𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙎𝙖𝙢𝙪𝙚𝙡
Reality: “Live by the sword, die by the sword”
I have that book. It also says there somewhere from what I can remember that if the jews keep on acting like they are, that they will suffer very bad consequences. And the book was written some years before WW2. A prophetic warning.
@A.H.H: “no Jews were mass killed in recent Russian history. In fact the reverse is glaringly obvious”
You can add to your list the millions of Gentile Russians killed and the Christian Churches destroyed by Jewish Bolsheviks; see “200 Years Among Us” by Solzhenitsyn.
Just has a search for it online. One site described it as the most banned book in the world, another had a load of chapters missing, but I found this one,:
Then there’s this written by Mario Sousa in 1998, a member of the Communist Party Marxist-Leninist Revolutionaries Sweden KPML, entitled Lies Concerning the History of the Soviet Union. The paragraph titles give you a good idea:
From Hitler to Hearst, from Conquest to Solzhenitsyn
The Ukraine as a German Territory
William Hearst – Friend of Hitler
The myth concerning the famine in the Ukraine
The Hearst mass media empire in 1998
52 years before the truth emerges
Robert Conquest at the heart of the myths (a former agent in the disinformation department of the British Secret Service, the Information Research Department (IRD). Conquest’s ‘work’ there was to contribute to the so-called ‘black history’ of the Soviet Union fake stories put out as fact and distributed among journalists and others able to influence public opinion. This was routine in several major British newspapers, such as the Financial Times, The Times, Economist, Daily Mail, Daily Mirror, The Express, The Guardian.)
Alexander Solzhenitsyn (he’s got a pretty low opinion of Solzhenitsyn)
Support for Franco’s fascism
Nazis, the police and the fascists
The archives demonstrate the propaganda lies
Fraudulent methods give rise to millions of dead
Gorbachev opens the archives
What the Russian research shows
Labour camps in the penal system
454,000 is not 9 million
The internal and external threat
More prisoners in the US
An important factor – the lack of medicines
The lies about the Soviet Union
The kulaks and the counter-revolution
The purges of 1937
Industrial sabotage
Theft and corruption
Plans for a coup
More numerous liars
Let us learn from history
Jews [Khazars. Gog is the name of a great ruler of the Kingdom of Khazaria] is GOG, i.e the collective West they control, and Magog is Russia [bible says Magog is situated in Southern Russia, in the Caucusus]. The former are destined to plunge the entire world into bloodshed, chaos, and war. Ezekiel 38-39. How it enda and the aftermath is anyone’s guess.
The Bolsheviks were by and large Jews. The have a deep seated genetic racial hatred for Slavic Christians. Search the net, there is lots of info on what was done to the Christians under the Bolshevik Jews, especially the priests. I read one account and thought it was fiction and had to re-read it again to make sure, I could not believe that humans could be so evil. When I realized it was true it almost made me sick and I am seeing the same thing in Mariople now. The goals of Jews and Nazis are the same, extermination of the Slavic people.
by and large all communists were Jews. even in the US the communist movement was all by the Jews. infact the code for jews was communists in USA and when Joe McC said communist scare he meant more than russians
the democratic party of the USA is communist socialist hybrid, and you saw it in action during covid in the democratic states that showed the power of the state on the people
they want that to be permanent where the few at the top 0.1% control the rest
and you will one thing in common across all these facets of operation
Not in soviet times in fact the Soviets dragged them out of the extermination camps such as Sobobor and Treblinka and Auschwitz,some thanks they have had from some people.
There was a court case in Tel Aviv regarding John Demjanjuk
Treblinka II (1 mill exterminated)
Judge:
– Do you have any proof of the existence of camp?
– Honored Judge, no such proof exist
– What about some Jewish artifacts that would survive burning?
– No, nothing of that kind
– What about some German documents?
– No, sorry
– What do you have then?
– Nothing
– And you want a prison wardener in Treblinka II to be convicted for crimes?
– Yes
– Who says he worked in some other camp, and has never been in Treblinka?
– He is lying
“Judaism. Pharisaism became Talmudism, Talmudism became Medieval Rabbinism, and Medieval Rabbinism became Modern Rabbinism. But throughout these changes of name, inevitable adaptation of custom, and adjustment of Law, the spirit of the ancient Pharisee survives unaltered”
…
When the Jew reads his prayers, he is reciting formulae prepared by pre-Maccabean scholars; when he dons the cloak prescribed for the Day of Atonement and Passover Eve, he is wearing the festival garment of ancient Jerusalem; when he studies the Talmud, he is actually repeating the arguments used in the Palestinian academies.
Nor is it merely the outer accoutrements of Pharisaism which have survived in his life; the spirit of the doctrine has remained quick and vital.”
So Rabbi Finklestein establishes that Jews are the spiritual heirs of the Pharisees.
And what did Jesus say to the Pharisees?
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
So Jews are apparently “of…the devil.”
With this in mind, consider the text of Rev 17:8:
“The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.”
If John was on the Island of Patmos in 95 AD or something like that, as most Biblical scholars apparently believe (which would be about 20 years after the destruction of the temple), the Pharisees would be defunct at that time, and there were no Jews in 95 AD, so this may offer an explanation of what the angel meant by phrase: “…the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.”
IOW “the beast that was, and is not” apparently refers to the Pharisees, defunct in 95 AD but whose Satanic spirit still exists – and which would re-emerge later in organized Jewry.
So this is more evidence as to the identity of the first beast of Rev 13 (the beast from the sea), and the beast, being Satan’s agent in the physical realm, must apparently pursue the agenda set forth in Isaiah 14:13,14, which means that the beast must corrupt or destroy mighty Russia.
95 AD would be about 25 years after the destruction of the temple, not 20.
And the quoted statements can be found on page xxi of the Forward to the First Edition of Finkelstein’s book “The Pharisees, The Sociological Background of Their Faith” (The Jewish Publication Society of America, 1938).
Your wisdom is unsurpassed and comes only from the most high, divine Almighty Our Father God!
You know that demons are real and the Divine gave me the power to see them whom are many and living within those who hold hatred and jesouly.
Your knowledge always comes with proof as does mine so the masses have no excuse to which path they take as this is the final Conflict of Good v Evil and millions are going to face death now and near future whom have taken the vaccine bio weapon, chem trails bio weapon, 5g micro radiation, wars, Famine etc.
I would like to know you better if OK and keep in touch to share my experience with the most high if saker accepts this, so could you send me an email to gwelsh@yandex.com.
I wanted to know what the angel meant by that phrase and I was subsequently led to certain things – like Rabbi Finkelstein’s book – and I believe this couldn’t have been a coincidence; so yes, I think you’re right that it came from above.
I’ll email you with a few additional thoughts on this subject.
Well, the Bible was written by Jews for Jews. Outside the English language, the term, Jew, comes from the Greek word, Ιουδαιος, which means Judah. Why would all languages place the origin of Jew to be Judah, and not Israel? Only when I studied the Bible extensively did I learn the significance. The Jews of today are descended from Judah, not Israel.
Nehemiah 8:9
“And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.”
“the people” so referred were the remnants of the true Israel. “the law” refers to the law of Judah. The people wept not for joy.
To understand the world today, one must comprehend the true significance of a single verse:
Deuteronomy 23:20
” 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: thy God; thine hand; the land; possess it.
They [the Askenazi, turks who converted to Judaism and had a kingdom called Khazaria] think they have a claim to Ukraine since most of it was under their rule when Khazaria existed. The Rus came and kicked them out and set up Kiev and had several wars vs the Khazarians wanting it back and ended up utterly defeated that the Rus put Khazaria off the map and it ceased to exist, leaving them as wanderers throughout Europe. They never forgot nor forgave Russia for it. And Russia has done it again. Maybe, like the last time, they defeat them – again – and put them off the map – again – and make them wanderers and parriahs – once again.
You might also want to watch the 4 one hour documentaries about Palestine, it’s heart-breaking to hear and see what was done to them by the British. The Palestinian Jews, Christians and Moslems hated the european “Jews”:
Where does this sick sadism in Ukraine come from? The stripping of peoples’ clothes and using plastic to wrap the victims to telephone poles and leaving them to be beaten and tortured, raped, etc.. is very widespread, there are endless images of it occurring in Ukraine right now. Is it a holdover from WWII?
This is a consequence of the peasant culture of Ukrainians. This was how thieves were treated in villages before culture was established and the police appeared. And horse thieves tied a stone around their necks and drowned.
there is loads of it, I don’t speak the language, I can’t understand the signs or what is being said, in some vids there are people in uniform taping people to trees or signposts,
I’ve not seen anyone being released by the authorities, it seems the authorities are actually perpetrating these acts,
can anyone translate and explain the issues involved?
is it summary punishment for crime, i.e. petty thefts, or is it aimed at Russian speakers, Roma, or people not wishing to join up to fight?
there also seems to be an issue with refugees defacing war memorials in the country they’ve fled to, spraying them Blue/yellow and co-opting them to represent the Ukrainian conflict,
what’s going on inside the Ukraine is pretty bizarre but when it spreads outside it’s borders through the refugee diaspora it’s going to really piss off a lot of people,
I’ve seen clips of refugees being pretty obnoxious in Poland, larking around in shops, insulting people they percieve as ‘Russian’
the youth seem heavily indoctrinated, they’ve been through youth movements along the line of Hitler Youth,
one guy who had got out of Mariopol said he’d been talking to one of these crazy kids about nationalism and asked him if he remembered how it all started, the kid replied ‘no, I was only 11 at the time’
the Western MSM is going to look pretty stupid once this stuff gets out, you can’t whitewash this sort of behaviour forever.
Wouldn’t you expect some kind of rebuttal from an official source of Russia, if this number was very off? I’m speaking mostly about the Ukrainian claim which is even higher, this has also been spread around a lot.
To this day I haven’t seen much official rebuttal. But MoD is doing a lot on other things/events they feel are getting wrongly portrayed in Western media – like Theater of Mariopol, shopping center Kiev, that sort of thing.
Hopefully Stoltenberg, Biden, Blinken and the rest will pay in some way. Especially, Biden who is in this up to his neck. Hopefully others go the Beowulf blood feud route.
Danish state media is a full fledged NATO propaganda institution so no surprise there. This generally goes for all Scandinavian corporate media.
On a side note, I recall sometime 10-15 years ago when they started to turn up the hate gauge towards Russia. It was fascinating as it was very noticeable. Literally overnight everything Russian was portrayed in a bad light and positive Russian news stopped appearing. Even the sport pages where infested with this.
I didn’t think much of it at the time but later attributed it to NATO CENTCOM which coordinated a lot of this propaganda.
With regard to understanding the current pervasive neonazi presence and activity Ukraine (including) the support of Zelensky, a Jew, it might be informative to review some history:
As result of the 1916 Sykes-Picot agreement, Britain obtained essential control of the portion of Palestine that Zionists wanted to claim as Israel. Prior to, and into WWII, the Zionist/ Lehi/Gang of Stern allied themselves with Hitler against Britain in the belief that they would receive this portion of Palestine in exchange for this. Even after WWII Lehi was still active against Britain (1944 Lord Moyne assassination, 1947Truck bombing of British police station in Haifa, etc). On May 29, 1948, shortly after Israel was founded on May 14 of 1948 Lehi was disbanded and absorbed/morphed into Likud (founded by Menachem Begin and Ariel Sharon), the current dominant ruling party in Israel, however Lehi still continued to function independently outside of government control. How much of the Lehi extreme-right “Master Race” philosophy persists in current Zionism is open to question, particularly in light of Zelensky’s tolerance/espousal of the significant Azov Battalion/Banderist movement in Ukraine and current Ukrainian political hierarchy.
Note particularly that Zionism is a political movement, and is absolutely not the same as or to be equated with Judaism.
Judaism is a concept as a religion unique and its appearance is in political thought and the original essence comes from the Deuteronomy which is a complete political program.
The clash between Russia and the West (who use Ukraine as a pretext) seems at times like a clash between a long gone European civilization (represented by Russia) and a globalist power that has successfully killed the last moral vestiges of the European civilization (which was not perfect but still possessed “values”).
This is in evidence in the strenuous efforts of the Russian military operation not only to avoid civilian casualties but also to spare civilian infrastructures, while the Ukrainian mercenaries, para- and ostensibly military mine roads, explode buildings with human shield hostages in them and instigate assassinations.
“English gentlemen, you shoot first!” (« Messieurs les Anglais, tirez les premiers ! »)— is the famous phrase associated with the battle of Fontenoy, on 5/11/1745 between an English (allied with Austrian and Dutch) army led by William of Cumberland and a French army led by Maurice de Saxe. Allegedly (and as also described by Voltaire), the two commanders facing each other first respectfully saluted each other by doffing their hats and then Cumberland chivalrously invited the French to shoot first. De Saxe declined inviting the English to shoot first.
Russia, this is not 1745, it is 2022, and the puppeteers of Ukraine have been shooting first for too long!
Some of my observations tangently related to the war in Ukraine:
It is time for the Empire to die:
“We love to sneer at Russia for having “an economy the size of Texas.” Someone tell me how a country can have 140 million people, be the world’s largest wheat, fertilizer, and weapons exporter, supply rockets for every other existing space program as well as their own, and still be “smaller” than one American state? Good, I’m glad the world economy is based on facts and isn’t just pseudoscience we made up. What if… maybe… the value of the dollar, the world’s reserve currency, is set artificially high, and our competitors’ currencies are forced artificially low, then we skew the numbers even more by printing as many dollars as we want with absolutely nothing backing it up? Nah, couldn’t be! Did you know that as of 2020, American banks are not even required to have the money they loan to people? So the dollar is largely based on debt, and much of that debt is based on money that literally did not exist to begin with, but surely this is a fair and accurate system for gauging the “size” of the world’s economies, right?”
Remember all of those people who wore masks for the past two years and called for all unvaccinated humans to be rounded up into camps? Well surprise, surprise, nazism is back in vogue and they don’t need to use euphemisms anymore.
Dostoevsky canceled, Yuri Gagarin canceled… the University of Florida even canceled Karl Marx (Is that because Americans think Russia is still communist, or is it because they think Marx was Russian? Or both?).
The Twitter mafia are even more obnoxious than usual, with #cancelrussia trending on Twitter, with users openly calling for genocide, and entire accounts dedicated to encouraging cyber crime against Russian companies – all out in the open, and for some reason does not violate Twitter rules. Facebook took things a step further and modified their famous “community standards” – it is now okay to praise nazis (as long as it’s the “good ones”) and call for violence against Russians.
The ‘economy size of Texas’ thing is complete fake b.s. That calculation is based on taking Russia’s economy and incorrectly converting it to USD to get a nominal GDP priced in USD’s. Why would you do that (rhetorical)? Russia doesn’t use USD, it uses Ruble. So the point being, the only valid metric for Russian economy is via its own Ruble which is done in GDP PPP. And in that rating, Russia is roughly #5 in the world.
By the way, how many people here knew that 70% of America’s vaunted “GDP” is all “consumer spending”?
So the so called ‘most powerful’ economy is actually fake figures just based on luxury goods people buy rather than any productive capability of the industries? What a farce.
One of the things that Americans don’t understand is value. In Southern California where I’m at, a person working at Walmart gets almost $20 and hour. That’s $40k per year, for 40 hours of low skilled work per week. If you take that $40k per year to most countries in the world, it would pay the salary of a college professor, or a scientist.
In most countries, if you had $100k, you would open up a business. In China, maybe you would start to manufacture kitchen utensils or something. After 10 years, you may be supplying your product to countries all around the world. In the US, if you had $100k, you would try to leverage it to buy a million dollar house with the expectation that it would go up in price. In a year, you would have tripled your initial $100k if the house value goes up to $1.2m. And you did nothing but make payments on the house and live in it for a year.
Americans believe we’re rich, but we create no value for the money. We do generate some value, like high tech, but most of the real tech has degraded (Boeing, aerospace), and the rest are often just serving ads or collecting data.
A few days ago I argued that Ukraine is for World War III what Poland was for World War II:
FacebookTwitterVKEmailCopy LinkShare
Once upon a time, stop me if you’ve heard this story before, Anglo diplomats surveyed the ruins of a fallen empire, and hatched a nefarious plan. They insisted on the creation of a militaristic right-wing pseudostate, with borders drawn up in a way that would be deliberately provocative to her neighbors. Then the Western powers all swore that this weird artificial state had inviolable sovereignty and signed unenforceable mutual defense pacts with her. Just creating this imaginary country was a weird and stupid idea, and that decision was made even more weird and stupid by the following mutual defense agreements. Even a small border dispute would immediately and inevitably erupt into a world war, and of course that’s exactly what happened.
If you think I’m talking about 1991 Ukraine, you are correct, but also not correct. I’m talking about 1919 Poland.
Let’s talk about the notorious Molotov-Ribbentrop protocols, Russia’s “moral failure” that the entire western media has spent the last 80 years whining about. I’m not going to go into extreme detail now, so if you want to read more, browse the post I wrote here. But why do we whine about the Soviet Union “allying” with Hitler, but not everyone else? I have some ideas, for now, consider these basic, indisputable facts.
As an American I just want to say if and when destruction comes to our country all of us Americans will surly deserve it. What a sorry group we as a people are. Just heard on radio the local churches doing a freakin bake sale for the poor victims of the Ukraine. Listening to a church radio station Sunday while driving tbey filth fools are spewing the same rabid filth about big bad Russia as the filthy jews media. I can not stand it. Our country is a cease pool of filth and so many love it.
I dont know about a yone else but I pray and pray America get invovles militarily. No I don’t wa t war only a fool would wish tnat but we as a people need it, need to suffer to atleast have any hope of healing. God forgive me but all these Christian do gooders need to wake up.
I feel sorry for Pennsylvanians with that hideous Jew dictator “Rachel Levine”. So many have suffered and died from its policies. Don’t take any of the injections pushed by these hideous creatures like that.
“Warning comes as EU prepares to consider placing embargo on Russian crude
Oil prices will jump to $300 a barrel if the West abandons Russian oil, the country’s Deputy Prime Minister and former energy minister Alexander Novak said on Monday, adding that “some see it possibly reaching $500 a barrel.”
The warning comes as the 𝙀𝙐 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙪𝙨𝙨 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙤 𝙤𝙣 𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙘𝙧𝙪𝙙𝙚 𝙖𝙨 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙛𝙞𝙛𝙩𝙝 𝙨𝙚𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙨𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 aimed at putting more pressure on Moscow to stop its military operation in Ukraine.
Novak added that if Western consumers stop buying Russian crude, the country will diversify its supplies and will find buyers elsewhere.
READ MORE: Russian market surges as limited trading restarts
Oil prices have risen by nearly $4 a barrel on Monday, with global benchmark Brent exceeding $112 by midday GMT, on expectations that the European Union might join the United States in banning imports of Russian crude.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, meanwhile, has called such an embargo “unrealistic,” pointing out that EU countries still heavily depend on Russian oil and gas and cannot simply cut themselves off on short notice.
“Too many refineries in the eastern and western part of Europe still completely depend on Russian oil and with gas it’s even worse,” Reuters quoted Rutte on Monday as having said, ahead of the expected debate by EU foreign and defense ministers in Brussels.”
“Hamburg police reported that 250 vehicles took over roads, with banners demanding “fair diesel prices”
A convoy of truckers deliberately blocked traffic in Hamburg, Germany over the weekend, as part of a protest against high fuel prices. Police reported that around 250 vehicles were involved in the demonstration, while the hauliers disputed the figure, claiming up to 350 vehicles took part.
Banners attached to the trucks declared “Systemically relevant truckers need fair diesel prices” and “Diesel rip-off: Without us, this country would be on the ground,” as the truckers moved from Hamburg-Allermohe towards the city center.
The protests created traffic delays for a second weekend in a row, with a protest the previous weekend having seen 500 participants moving through the city to create chaos on the roads.
The German Fishing Association also claimed on Tuesday that 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙡 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙙𝙤𝙪𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙙 in recent weeks. Higher fuel costs have hit truck drivers in Hamburg, causing operational issues for drivers and companies that rely on the 𝙫𝙚𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙚 across Germany and other nations.
Fuel costs have increased in Germany and in other Western nations in recent weeks following Russia’s military assault on Ukraine. Sanctions imposed on Moscow have impacted the flow of oil and gas from Russia, sending costs in the West spiraling upwards and forcing nations to seek out alternative supply routes to satisfy their dependence on foreign fuel.”
“After a barrage of attacks on its oil facilities, the kingdom says low supply and high prices aren’t its fault
Saudi Arabia declared on Monday that it “won’t bear any responsibility” for surging oil prices or contracting supply following 𝙖 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙖 𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨 by Houthi rebels a day earlier.
In a statement acknowledging that the attacks could have “serious consequences” for energy markets already reeling from the conflict in Ukraine, the kingdom called on the international community to oppose the Houthis for the sake of safeguarding the world’s oil supply.
“The kingdom stresses the importance of the international community realizing the gravity of Iran’s continued behavior of equipping the terrorist Houthi militias with the technology… [to] target the kingdom’s production sites,” the statement by the Saudi Foreign Ministry read.
Members of the Houthi rebel movement struck facilities belonging to the Yanbu Aramco Sinopec Refining Company – a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙖 𝙋𝙚𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝘾𝙤𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 (𝙎𝙞𝙣𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙘) – and other energy companies with drone and missile strikes on Sunday, causing no immediately reported casualties but leading to a “temporary reduction” in output, according to the Saudi Ministry of Energy.
Saudi Arabia has been waging war against the Houthis in Yemen since 2015. The conflict has been described by the UN as the “world’s worst humanitarian crisis,” and has resulted in the deaths of 377,000 people, more than two-thirds under the age of five, per UN figures at the end of 2021. It is often seen as a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia, due to Iran’s backing of the Houthis. Tehran denies arming the rebels, however.
Attacks like those on Sunday represent “a direct threat to the security of oil supplies in these extremely sensitive circumstances witnessed by the global energy markets,” the Saudi statement continued.
Global energy markets have already responded with shock and volatility to the conflict in Ukraine, with US gas prices reaching a historic record of $4.33 per gallon earlier this month, and settling to $4.25 on Monday, according to the American Automobile Association. Brent Crude Oil is currently trading at around $112 a barrel, down from a nearly $140 earlier this month but still around $15 higher than before the outbreak of hostilities.
Decisions by the US and UK to ban Russian energy imports have also put tremendous pressure on the market, compounded by the Biden administration’s reluctance to grant drilling permits in the US and refusal to allow the completion of the Keystone XL pipeline.
Against this background, the US has urged the Saudi Arabian-led OPEC bloc to pump more oil, something that OPEC has thus far refused to do. The US, however, has recently stepped up supplies of missile interceptor batteries to Saudi Arabia to safeguard its facilities from future attacks, officials told AP.”
The last story appears to be a prompt response to the mooted PetroYuan.. note it was a Chinese-Saudi refinery which was hit.. Also stopping Persian Gulf oil will be essential to collapsing global economy for the satanic BBB Great Reset..
Are you ready to live au naturel (not the nude one!!)?
When Halliburton and Schlumberger left Venezuela it took some time after 6 month and there decline of oil delivery became a huge problem, imagine what is going to happen in Russia, there will be not enough oil to deliver to as well China as well the west. Expect prices over 500 dollar for the WEST.
Cheers
with US gas prices reaching a historic record of $4.33 per gallon earlier this month, and settling to $4.25 on Monday,
We Californias laugh at this crap and ask “First timers?”. Seriously, we’ve had this for years. I’m sure vetinLA will speak up about it being 7 and 8 dollars a gallon there. My last fill up was 5.19.
Smoothie just uploaded a video discussing at length the implications of current Western moves to exclude Russian oil & gas from the market.. He discussed famine a few days ago. Now he is flabbergasted at Novak’s prognostication of $3-500 oil mass suicide in motion.
He uses the metaphor of Hitler in the Spring of 1945 Berlin bunker, waiting for Wunderwaffe to turn the tide. Is the entire West currently hell-bent on this scorched-earth false hope, like the fanatic desperate to escape consequences and preparing to enter the promised gates of his Valhalla?
It all happens so slowly that no snowflake feels responsible for the avalanche, this is during a time of covid outbreaks in China and a slowing of their domestic oil use.
As life returns to normal in China in a year or so, so will the consumption, its going to be a slow drag upwards to who knows where and at what cost economically.
The politician and a whole host of political preditors industries are going to held responsible for the carnage the future will surely bring.
I can barely believe it. Western MSM and US and Euro governments are treating the Azov Battalion as “the good guys.” Think about it: Azov Battalion. The ethno-chauvinist fascists. The racists. The neo-Nazis. The criminals. All of this is well established about Azov.
Yet, even so, the Western World is so warped it speaks of Azov Battalion as if they are heroes.
They’ve had Americans proud to support Al Qaeda in recent years, so this is nothing new.
And yep, the Bush family has their own Dept of Justice order telling them to cease and desist from ‘trading with the enemy’ in 1943. (see Prescott Bush and a wealthy Hitler supporter named Herbert Walker, and yep, the former President’s full name is George Herbert Walker Bush)
After the war, the CIA worked hard to make sure the former resistance fighters against Nazism were forbidden from power because of their suspect leftist sympathies. Some of the elections where the Americans committed foreign interference with democracy were from this time. Instead, the result was what John LeCarre referred to in his cold war spy novels set in Germany as to how the same grey men who ran the factories in the 40’s were still in charge in Germany into the 1950’s and 60’s.
I’m sorry, I have to bring this up..This article about the head of the military medical service calling for the castration of the Russian soldiers made me feel literally sick. It was the first thing I read this morning. Now he’s denying it stating it was an emotional outburst and it isn’t true. At least since this twisted creature said it out loud for the world to hear this likely will not happen.
Too bad you SICK SON OF A BITCH! He did mean it. It is typical of his tribe. Their resentment and hatred is repulsive. That is even too kind. I hope Russia has put the word out that if they touch even one hair on their soldiers heads they will cease to breathe air. He, is a dead man walking. God willing.
I have no doubt he meant what he said, and it’s happening. The morally depraved cheer it on as if there is ever justification for it.
These actions, the support, it has dropped a veil here in the West. Those of us that see clearly can now truly see the lost ones without their mask of politeness.
Ukronazis are hiding MLRS launchers in shopping centers, the Russians found the location, pinpointed a strike,
bye-bye MLRS. Ukronazis are crying the Russians are attacking “even shopping centers.” See pictures and read the twits (Yandex image translator) blaming those who are taking pics of the launchers and posting them online.
In fact, they simply identified the firing position of the MLRS “Grad” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and destroyed it. There was also a BC for the “Peonies”.
At the link https://t.me/boris_rozhin/34883 there is a video where you can see how mlrs work near the shopping center. Someone removed from his floor and posted it on TikTok. Banderlogs are hysterical and demand not to post such a thing, as this understandably speeds up the destruction of such wandering around the city “Grads”, and also destroys the propaganda picture with a banderlog.
It is no coincidence that in Odessa they threaten to give 10-15 years in prison to those who shoot such a thing. The Führer knows better who is shelling peaceful shopping centers.

this is as precise an earthquake, finishing one and leaving the next one untouched to its foundations (with some blown windows and there’s no escaping from that)
I have a suggestion for an ongoing column here for the Saker.
“The Stupid, it burns!”
should be a column for all the over-the-top and Russophobic idiocy that we’re seeing these days.
e.g.
– banning Yuri Gagarin’s name from a space conference
– shutting down a literary course on Doestoyevsky
– changing the name of food items that have the word “Russia” in it
– forcing sports athletes to denounce their own country
– (today) banning Crimean GM Sergei Karjakin from playing chess
In Scandinavia the biggest dairy producer has stopped selling Kefir. Not because of the kefir itself, but because the package has a “Russian-like” picture…..I kid you not.
@KL. It is Danish company, makers of Lurpak butter, which has banned making Russian health milk Kefir. So I stop buying Lurpak butter today, after being a customer for 50 years. Lurpak | Arla
These bastards and poor slobs over in Ukraine are so bloody desperate. The US and their cohorts are really dumb but so evil and that’s what makes them dangerous. I wrote last week that I hoped Russia would step up it’s pace but when reading accounts and stories I feel tremendous sorrow. It’s necessary to fight and kill the beast but it’s incredibly sad. Ever grateful to Russia and their brave men and that goes for Chechens, anyone who is helping, but war is an ugly business. I’m deeply upset.
Here’s some more info from Russians & The Telegraph:
Officially, a Russian court banned Facebook and Instagram. The blocking will start immediately.
Bravery and stupidity! British mercenaries aimed missiles at the Yavorsky training ground‼️
According to The Telegraph , British mercenaries revealed their location using personal mobile communications. After Russian intelligence received this information, 30 Kalibr missiles hit the Yavorsky training ground.
In the hours before the strike, surveillance equipment recorded between 12 and 14 telephone numbers beginning with +44 (UK dialing code).
According to official figures, at least 35 mercenaries, including three former British special forces soldiers, were eliminated as a result of a strike with precision-guided weapons on March 13.
The mistake of the honest person is to assume the others only exaggerate. But that is not the case. The dishonest person just outright lies. Thinking that there is a few percent truth in it is wrong. Like with marketing. Do not choose the one that promises the most, because he is just the one lying the most.
“The great masses of the people in the very bottom of their hearts tend to be corrupted rather than consciously and purposely evil … therefore, in view of the primitive simplicity of their minds, they more easily fall a victim to a big lie than to a little one, since they themselves lie in little things, but would be ashamed of lies that were too big”.
– Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf (Houghton Mifflin Co., Boston, 1971; original version 1925), Vol. 1, chapter 10, p.231
I smell a troll here…nothing that you have written corresponds to reality…
The Russian intervention continues as planned and will not stop until all objectives are met.
Any slower pace is due to thorough house to house attrition of the enemy with the aim of minimizing civilian casualties …they are not “just shelling and bombing cities” but pinpointing and targeting the locations of military units…many of which happen to be within cities.
Russian forces are rotated after a time or after intense combat phases and reserves are available as required. Early reports were of the order of 100,000 Russian soldiers involved in the Deep-Clean activity…now the talk is of 200,000 men being actively involved…and this is a fraction of the manpower that is held in reserve in case NATO tries any mischief.
Based on initial operational reports and activities to date, the figure of KIA is not more than 2500 at the max.
Russia entered the war with a lower ratio of men than military practice usually dictates – others have explained this in far better detail on this website. The difference they bring to bear is higher levels of skillsets than their opponents involving better tactics, higher levels of equipment plus more functionality of the equipment.
Sure, mistakes have been made and it sadly resulted in loss of life but relative to the ultimate aim, the pace of reaching these objectives has been fast and working to plan.
If you feel strong emotions from news or analytics, then this is propaganda or disinformation.
There was no “Shoigu decree”. In Russia, all 18-year-old men are subject to conscription for 1 year (with the exception of sick and exempt from conscription for other reasons). The call-up takes place twice a year, in spring and autumn. This has been happening since the times of the USSR, which would have turned 100 years old this year, only the terms of compulsory service changed. And all these years, an order has been issued twice a year to recruit recruits to the army for training. Also, all these years, orders have been issued periodically to call up reservists for training camps. But the basis of the Russian army is made up of professional military personnel who sign a contract for service. They are now conducting an operation in Ukraine together with other also professional military from the Russian Guard and police officers.

If you are in the Ukrainian army, hand over your weapons and move to a safe place (if you can’t find it on the territory of the country, emigrate to the EU, Russia or Belarus).
If you are in Ukraine, but not in the Ukrainian army, move to a safe place – to a rural area or a small town, which the crazy bloody puppet pseudo-government of Ukraine cannot turn into a reservation with hostages like Mariupol or the Syrian Raqqa. If you can’t find it on the territory of the country, emigrate to the EU, Russia or Belarus.
We have seen many ex Russian Jews driving anti Russia sentiment in MSM.
Bur Israel seemingly has different position.
So I think it is wrong to say that all Jews are against Russia?
Some news from Slovenia.
Prime minister Janša is searching for volunteers for a Kiew embassy. Our current ambassador is at home and don’t want to return. He demands that this embassy must reopen. There are two questions. Do Ukrainian government have nothing more important to do that our presence is so urgent there? And second, there should be very dangerous according to our media (all western msm)? Why is so urgent to be there and risk their lifes?
The mayor of our capital has diplomatic passport. But he also has a Russian civil award or decoration. He doesn’t want to return it so he gets no new diplomatic passport. Current is valid only a few more days. Typical cancel culture.
Our prime minister is not happy with our public tv. They report like all the others in the west, but there are also some sentences what Russians are saying about. It’s about 90% of the text Ukrainian side of information and about 10% Russian one, but for our prime minister even this is too much. He is saying that they are a mouthpiece of Russian defence ministry. Strange, I think they are quite the opposite.
Paul Craig Roberts has his own critique for the “special military operation.” He calls it a police action in deprecatory fashion: “By choosing a police action over a war, the Kremlin delivered the civilians into the hands of the Ukrainian neo-Nazis.” Anyone chooses his own term (“war” for me), but to choose “police action” just to make the point it should be more violent, is amazing from a columnist. He went off the deep end on the issue of Covid-19 too.
Russians offered them a way out, if they surrendered their weapons, classical Sun Tzu counsel when a city is under siege, to minimize casualties on both sides. Mariupol industrial zone is a maze, Ukronazis expected Russia to fight a la Stalingrad. Well, said the Russians, we have a surprise for you. My guess these thermobaric rounds were a warning to the rest of them, just to show them how they are going to end up, all burned on this realm before they burn in hell.
Yep, very nice footage, it almost looks fake. But it’s due to the fact that the prosumer DJI drones Azov is using are equipped with super slow mo 120fps+ capabilities which give this cinematic quality beyond the capabilities of actual military UAV’s (which have no need for “cinematic” slow motion as such). So we are seeing the slow motion eruption there and it looks quite different to what we’re used to seeing.
Sadly I saw today Denis Pushilin head of DPR said that the freeing of Mariupol could take still not just days but possibly week++ if not more because the Azov are basically hiding and the door to door scaling of hundreds of block apartments is incredibly painstaking and tedious process. It’s impossible to tell how long the Azov can hold out but unfortunately it could still take a while.
That’s impossible to predict, it could be days, it could be weeks, it could be tomorrow. The general assessment is the Ukronazis are isolated, without coordinated C&C, holding on to a desperate situation. This is a typical “Mexican stand-off” and it can go either way when two armies are facing the unknown unknowns. Thermobaric rounds will have an effect on Ukronazis, who have already been ordered to get out by any way possible. Russia/LDNR forces caught a couple of them who killed the parents of some kids to pretend they were their children, fortunately they were caught. They are pretending to be dead in ambulances, mixing up real dead bodies to turn away any search at checkpoints. Some have already been caught disguised as women, a trick the taqfiris used back in Syria/Iraq, where the jalabah and burqa allow for more possibilities to deceive.
My best guess, and given the Russians decided to speed up the process a bit, with a little help from Comrades Khinzal et al, Ukronazis may surrender en mass, or die in a mass suicide, the resolution, however, is not far.
Yep. That’s probably why TOS-1 thermobaric was used on them in the Azovstal factory, in order to “help them along” with the decision process. Once you see your comrade’s lungs collapsing and eyeballs popping out from thermobaric effect, you may decide it’s no longer worth it to fight for Hitler’s glory, and may decide to lay down your arms. I assume that’s the psychological effect they’re going for here, we’ll see if it works with speeding up their surrender.
It seems to me the West’s propaganda is designed and directed to crush, destroy and wreck Russia’s accomplishments and true intentions in Ukraine and painting it as losing and growing desperate, in order to inoculate the West’s populations in case the West causes a major false flag operation, thereby making it look like Russia did it out of desperation.
This is particularly dangerous in Ukraine, as having had nuclear weapons in the past, it is possible that there are still nuclear materials around for a Nazi-inspired group like Azov Battalion, C14, Right Sector, Aidar etc. to build a dirty nuclear bomb and detonate it in a NATO country. This will surely be the justification for the US and NATO to intervene with troops, airpower and even a US pre-emptive nuclear strike. It would be easy for any of these Nazi groups to do this since they absolutely hate Russia and the West has shown that its real intention is the annihilation of the Russian State and its current political leadership.
Now, who do you think would help them build it if this were the case?
What country had no qualms about killing hundreds of thousands of human beings with atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
This truly horrifying scenario is possible could really unleash a nuclear conflagration.
“…This will surely be the justification for the US and NATO to intervene with troops, airpower and even a US pre-emptive nuclear strike.”
A false flag to provoke a nuclear war? What for? Is there anything after a nuclear war? I don’t think so. But, your point makes clear just how important it is to end the arms race and an artificial conflict between Russia and the United States. I commend Vladimir Putin for realizing this and always talking about the need for the U.S. and Russia to work together to restore a nuclear balance and disarmament too, and I especially commend (some commenter) him for not putting limits on the nuclear advances (his own) that could be discussed: “Putin said Russia is willing to include its new-generation hypersonic nuclear weapons in the arsenal that his country has proposed freezing during the extension of …” “https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/putin-says…” (cached).
As for a conventional war, a CNN reporter said yesterday that the use of hypersonic weapons was thought to have been intended as a message to the West. She said that these weapons were “5 times faster than the speed of sound” (5 not 10 is what she said), and that the United States did not have these weapons yet. It was a marvel of a blunt report, showing it only takes some personality to report this hugely important news. No, Nelson, I think that actually seeing the hypersonic weapons basically ended the chance of that conventional war in Ukraine.
As I write this, the Japanese TV in the other room is discussing what kinds of chemical weapons Putin plans on using. I take it to mean the faked footage is ready for release, or the battalions think they’ve got some foolproof plan.
Today (21-03-22) there was a large undersea earthquake (5.1) slap-bang in the middle of the British and Norwegian North Sea oil and gas fields.
This activated the emergency protocols on several rigs drilling for both oil and gas and the complete shutdown of operations on the Snore B drilling platform (35000 barrels of oil per day average extraction).
The shocks of the earthquake were felt hundreds of miles away in Scotland and in Norway.
There seems to be more to this than meets the eye, and I suspect some damage has occured or that production on the rigs where the alarms went off wont instantly go back to full output.
I dont know how long it takes to restart a rig when it has gone through an emergency shut down but I suspect production may be reduced for a while.
Any disruption to supply is not what is needed during a very difficult and sensitive time for oil and gas supplies to Europe, so I expect this issue to vanish from the press asap.
We are standing at an inflection point in history, and there can be no bystanders. Everyone needs to help. Here’s what you can do to turn the tide of the information war against global nazism. And by “help,” I don’t mean vapid “thoughts and prayers.” I’m talking about real, practical things every person reading this can do that will have a meaningful impact in the war.

Ukrainian Update # 8
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
It seems the Kremlin still has delusions that there is morality in the West. The Kremlin has appealed to “international structures to make Ukrainian radicals release civilians.” What is the point of such a useless appeal? Why is the Kremlin attributing morality to the enemy that is trying to destroy Russia? Does the Kremlin think it is making a point by putting the West on the spot?
By choosing a police action over a war, the Kremlin delivered the civilians into the hands of the Ukrainian neo-Nazis. Indeed, by refusing action for 8 years, the Kremlin allowed the neo-Nazis to take hold of large parts of Donbass while continuing to shell the areas of Donbass not under their control. If the Kremlin had accepted the Donbass vote 8 years ago to be reunited with Russia like Crimea, the entire problem would have been avoided. Apparently, the Kremlin was dissuaded from the obviously correct decision by the pro-West Atlanticist Integrationists among the intellectual and ruling class, who convinced the Kremlin that it would confirm US propaganda that Putin is intent on restoring the Soviet Empire for so much of an artificial Ukraine created by the Soviets to be reunited with Russia. The entire Ukrainian problem is due to the Atlanticist Integrationists. Why the Kremlin tolerates these agents of the West, and even appoints one of them head of the Russian central bank where she can maximize the effect of sanctions on Russia, is a mystery.
The Russians are also warning that sanctions against Russian oil exports will destabilize markets, drive up oil price, and harm the world economy. It makes no sense for Russia to complain about a higher oil price that would benefit them and seriously harm their enemies. Russia acts against her best interests because Russia has been brainwashed by American neoliberal economists that Russia needs foreign exchange in order to develop the economy. The Russian central bank chief, recently nominated for reappointment by Putin, is the chief Russian expositor of this blatant nonsense. She is the equivalent of 100 NATO divisions arrayed against Russia. It is Russia’s lack of economic sophistication that will destroy her. Because of central bank opposition, Russia won’t nationalize Russian assets of sanctioning countries, but sanctioning countries are now nationalizing Russian assets. The UK announces nationalization of Russia’s Gazprom retail unit. https://www.rt.com/business/552410-uk-nationalizes-gazprom/ Russian mindlessness also serves as a weapon against herself. Germany is purchasing more weapons to send to Ukraine to kill Russian soldiers, and the Kremlin is still selling Germany energy, without which German industry would close down. It makes no sense. Russia should at least turn off the energy until the war is concluded on her terms.
In the intervention in Ukraine, the Kremlin chose humanitarian concerns, for which the Kremlin received zero credit, over the opportunity to bring all provocations of Russia to an end. If Russia had destroyed Ukraine, leaving it as a wasteland, the way the US and NATO did to Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan and tried to do to Syria, it would have served as a warning to the Empire of Lies of what awaits the next provocation. Instead, the Kremlin’s humanitarian gesture backfired and gave the West, which controls the narrative, ample time to conduct a psyops campaign that has succeeded in turning the West into a mob full of hatred for Russians. Such hatred foretells more provocations which will eventually end in nuclear war.
Despite the Kremlin’s failure on every other front, Russia, despite its pulled punches, is winning in Ukraine. The US-supported neo-Nazi militia is about driven out of Donbass. In Kiev, Russian paratroopers routed the neo-Nazis and drove them out of the city’s suburbs, capturing their weapons and ammunition. Military bases in Yavoriv in Western Ukraine on the Polish border where US and British personnel were training Ukrainians and where weapons were stored, and nearby Delyatyn, a NATO weapon and fuel storage center, were annihilated by Russian hypersonic missiles. US and British military and intelligence personnel were blown to bits along with the Ukrainians being trained in the use of the US/NATO weapons. The Kremlin made good on its warning that all who interfere in its intervention will be destroyed. Western military incompetence was so total that there was no warning, or ability to intercept, the attack.
Looking at the map, Russian forces have completely cut Ukraine off from the Black Sea. Much, and perhaps all, of the territory can be considered part of Donbass. Unless the Kremlin in another fruitless show of good will gives the territory back to Ukraine, Ukraine is eliminated as a military threat. The reconquest of Donbass has restored the land bridge to Crimea.
Washington continues to rely on its allies among the Atlanticist Integrationists to cancel Russia’s victory in negotiations at war’s end in order to make a good impression and restore relations with the West, a fruitless hope on the part of the Russians. Until Russia deals with its internal traitors, its military victories might mean little. Provocations of Russia will continue and end in nuclear war.
“….Unless the Kremlin in another fruitless show of good will gives the territory back to Ukraine…..”
=> Milosevic gave back territory and ended up in Den Haag
=> Serbia lost Kosovo and souverenity
“….Atlanticist Integrationists to cancel Russia’s victory in negotiations at war’s end in order to make a good impression and restore relation…”
=> Milosevic negotiated and ended up in Den Haar
=> Serbia lost Kosovo and souverenity
“The Kremlin has appealed to “international structures to make Ukrainian radicals release civilians.” What is the point of such a useless appeal? “.
Optics and thinking about the future. By making these offers Russia is showing it wants as little death and destruction as possible. They mean it too, because we saw in Syria how they the honoured the safe passage deals and let the head choppers escape to Idlib. Russia does not want to be queen of the ashes either (GOT reference).
If the jack boot fanatics refuse and Russia has to destroy city blocks to eradicate them, at least Russia can say they tried, plus they tried to avoid so called collateral damage (which may be part of the reason for UKR;s refusal to accept safe passage, i.e., force Russia to destroy people and things and then make memes about it — plus the obvious delaying tactics militarily).
“Refusing action” ??????? -not !!—–eight years ago Russia did not have anywhere even remotely close enough military capability or economic strength to do what it is now doing,
Due in large part to imposed sanctions that led to extreme Russian self-reliance and to the wisdom of Putin, today Russia is in an entirely different position.
During this eight years, Russia’s relationship with China has also matured due to mutual respect, trust and common interests..
Needless to say, this relationship is extremely important for both countries.
Considering that the N battalions like Azov, Aidar, Donbass, C14, and Tornado are funded by oligarchs like Mr K who also funds Mr Z, does that not make these oligarchs legitimate targets for these very fast new flying daggers?
P.S. I doubt Oligarch K is actually in Ukraine. He will be in one of his lairs in the Swiss Alps or the like. My point is that to properly denazify UKR, the people who funded them need to be taken care of, or they will continue to fund these types in whatever UKR becomes when Russia has done what it must (can not cut CIA money so easily though).
Recall the creepy (well maybe not for hair-sniffing Ole Joe) comment earlier this week that, “I bet everybody knows somebody, somewhere along the line … in an intimate relationship — what happened was the guy takes a revealing picture of his naked friend, or whatever, in a compromising position and then literally sends blackmail,” Actually Joe, I don’t know anyone like that.
Lord let there be a big reveal soon and some of these criminals face some justice.

A kafè with Dostoevsky. Against the wear and tear of modern nihilism
By
Alessandro Gnocchi
March 18, 2022
It is called Kafè Dosto ‘ and it is, as we say today, a space to talk about Dostoevsky and maybe even converse with him, with his life, his thought, his works and his faith. The fundamental intent is to give back to Fëdor Michajlovič the word that these days is not only denied him, but, even worse, changed in meaning and spirit.
Here at Ricognizioni , the idea had been in the air for some time and now it does not become trivial in stigmatizing the censorship of the Bicocca University on the greatest novelist that Providence has given us poor mortals. However, it must be recognized that the news often manifests the signs of the times beyond any hidden intention, today metaphysically so disturbing. The case is known and does not make it possible to summarize it, if not in the conditioned thought that lies at the bottom. Dosto’s fault, as everyone knows by now, is to represent a summit of Russian culture now that the so-called civilized world “one morning / woke up / and found the invader”: Russian, of course, because times change even if the idiots remain. Thus the former ex-public opinion, after having been covidcentric for two years, has now suddenly found itself Ukrainocentric.
This West, crazily waning without even realizing it, is now happily sick with russophobia and sees in Dostoevsky’s censorship a good exercise in muscle awakening for the collective intellectual. He mistakes for a sign of health yet another metastasis of a deeper and darker disease that the great Russian had diagnosed more than a century and a half ago and is called nihilism. But it is not only Dosto’s censors who suffer from it, too many sufferers, too many censors of the censors, jealous guardians of a hairy freedom in charge of granting the word as long as it is said within the networks of the dominant culture.
I am not interested in raging on the poor arguments of the magnificent rector of the Milanese university, or magnificent rector since in these barbaric times it is customary for a woman to say this. I have reached an age where it is understood that the grotesque has no limits except in the infernal abysses where no word has any more meaning. And then, even looking at the horror of the intellect from a distance is never a healthy exercise. Nor do I think it interesting to go into the details of the course on Dostoevsky first denied, then postponed, then granted but only if accompanied by the reading of Ukrainian authors and then taken by the owner elsewhere. We are in the context of the trinariciutismo in his time so well stigmatized by Guareschi that no smallness of intellect can really catch us unprepared.
In presenting Kafè Dosto ‘ , I am more anxious to mention another intellectual sewage, actually coming from the same sewer, but from a deeper, darker and more dangerous branch. I am referring to the hypocritical raised heads of those who overwhelmed the magnificent bicocchiana rector with insults and then explained that Dostoevsky should be read and studied, yes, but as an antidote to a certain idea of Russia and, ça va sans dire, to that villain. of Putin. The culture broth leaves no doubt about the quality of the nut thrown into the cauldron. And it should be noted that, with the exception of a few laudable niches of resistance, the slop is gobbled up voraciously and by unified networks both on the right and on the left in the political, cultural, social and religious fields.
The fruit grown on such mephitic soil revealed itself in a great deal of talk about Dostoevsky in which everyone got caught, especially those who have not read even a page and therefore do not fear ridicule or perjury in making him say as much as he pleases. collective intellectual: that “Dostoevsky is to be read as an antidote to Putin”. Not even Dosto ‘will leave me alone.
Now, I am not saying one of the great novels, because they are long and do not fit in a whatsapp message or in a tweet, but at least the shortest article of a writer’s Diary someone could also have scrolled through it: Bompiani, 1,402 pages divided into pieces even short, 40 euros. As I know, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the current Italian government could be exercised there, which defined the President of the Russian Federation as “worse than an animal” without any significant reaction from the majority, opposition and “civil” society.
Among the pages of the Diary , Dostevskij’s adapters to the sirens of the world and of NATO would come across some surprises. They would discover, for example, how, about the “Slavic question” in vogue in Moscow and Petersburg cultural circles, Fëdor Michajlovič proclaimed the superiority of his land over Western Europe and argued that the latter, in some way, belongs to a common destiny for East and West to be decided on Russian soil.
There is not a single line of Western correctness in Dostoevsky’s work, given that the West has become what it is. But it is precisely in this key that its universality can be grasped, not to be confused with the cosmopolitanism so dear to those who do not go beyond Woody Allen and his crowds. God, orthodox religiosity, the relationship with earth and the world, sin, redemption are incomprehensible themes in the Dostoevsky spirit if they are related to the European waste imbued with rationalism and romanticism, two sides of a single coin.
The same consideration applies to the territorial claims, the history, the future of cities and peoples on which the great Russian talks for a long time and with illuminating depth even today. All arguments difficult to understand for a West born already old and prey to the poor nationalist appetites of which the Italian example is a case of school even in the culture that has rocked it.
More or less in those years Italy, in the bourgeois sentiment embodied by Manzoni, used to say “One of arms, of language, of altar, of memories, of blood and heart” and that was enough for her to aspire to a place in the sun. Meanwhile, in the Diary of him, Dostoevsky hoped for the annexation of Constantinople to Russia in the name of an unequivocal call to universality. In this regard, Armando Torno writes in the introduction that “the desire to annex Constantinople to Russia must be understood as a religious dream and not simply as a political experience. (…) Dostoevsky asks precisely Constantinople in the name of the universality of Russian Christianity ” .
An element so present in his spirit that it led him to respond in this way to those who asked him how his idea of Russia entered into such a metaphysical vision of history:“As guide of Orthodoxy, as protector and conservator of it, a part belongs to it since the time of Ivan III and to indicate which he placed the double-headed Byzantine eagle above the ancient coat of arms of Russia. (…) This right over ancient Zargrad would be understandable and not offensive to the Slavs themselves, jealous of their independence, and even to the Greeks themselves. In this way, the true essence of the political relations that must inevitably arise between Russia and all Orthodox nations, whether Greek or Slavic, would be known. Russia is their protector and perhaps also their guide, but not their ruler; their mother and not their mistress ” .
A few citations are enough to understand how peregrine are the reprimands against Dostoevsky’s censors exhibited in favor of the chamber in the name of a Dostoevsky who does not exist. The paradox of such a grotesque reality lies in the fact that both censors and hairy censors of censors belong to the same world that the Russian writer describes in his novels as the fruit of a nihilism that is already full-blown even if recognized only by great spirits. . Like Fëdor Michajlovič, who had identified and overcome him in abandonment to Christ, or like Nietzsche, who had become his prey by taking him in an attempt to overcome him by entrusting himself to the new man.
No one expects the collective intellectual to study and annotate demons with the acribia and lacerating passion of the German philosopher, but at least throw an eye on them. He would find his creed in the pages where nihilists discuss life, death, God.
Verchovenski, for example, in the highly available edition Oscar Mondadori page 428:“People with superior skills cannot fail to be despotic and have always corrupted more than benefited; they are driven out or suppressed. Cicero’s tongue is cut out, Copernicus’s eyes are gouged out, Shakespeare is stoned (…). Slaves must be equal: without despotism there has still been neither freedom nor equality. (…) The thirst for education is an aristocratic thirst. As soon as family or love arises, there is already the desire for property. We will make the desire die: we will spread the hangover, the gossip, the denunciations; we will spread an unprecedented corruption, we will extinguish every genius in the swaddling clothes. All in the same denominator, perfect equality. (…) Full obedience, complete absence of personality,
The collective intellectual, hairy defender of Dostoevsky, will hardly be able to say that this is not the Western way of life to which he has devoted himself and in which he wallows so well since everything is allowed. He cannot say it, he who is the spiritual son of the theoretical Kirillov of metaphysical suicide as the ultimate expedient to replace God. Same work and same edition, page 116: “Whoever wants supreme freedom must have the courage to kill himself. (…) Beyond there is no freedom; here is everything and beyond there is nothing. Whoever has the courage to kill himself, that is God. Now everyone can make sure that there is no longer God and that there is nothing more ” .
To be the presentation of an initiative as important and exciting as the reflection on the figure of Dostoevsky, it seems to me that I have drawn it too long. But I think it is important to honestly explain what we will try to offer to those who follow us.
So, it’s called Kafè Dosto ‘ and now we have opened it. In reading and writing it is accessible to all friends of Ricognizioni: editors, collaborators and readers with a thought that has nothing collective. You enter without a green pass.

Italian Original post:
Un kafè con Dostoevskij. Contro il logorìo del nichilismo moderno – Ricognizioni
Si chiama Kafè Dosto’ ed è, come si usa dire oggi, uno spazio per parlare di Dostoevskij e magari anche conversare con lui, con la sua vita, il suo pensiero, le sue opere e la sua fede. L’intento fondamentale è quello di restituire a Fëdor Michajlovič la parola che di questi tempi non solo gli viene negata, ma, peggio ancora, mutata nel senso e nello spirito.
Qui a Ricognizioni, l’idea era nell’aria da tempo e ora non si concretizza banalmente nello stigmatizzare la censura dell’università Bicocca sul più grande romanziere che la Provvidenza abbia regalato a noi poveri mortali. Però bisogna riconoscere che la cronaca spesso manifesta oltre ogni più celata intenzione i segni dei tempi, oggi metafisicamente così inquietanti. Il caso è noto e non mette conto di riassumerlo, se non nel pensiero condizionato che ne sta al fondo. La colpa di Dosto’, come ormai tutti sanno, è quella di rappresentare un vertice della cultura russa ora che il mondo cosiddetto civile “una mattina / si è svegliato / ed ha trovato l’invasor”: russo, naturalmente, perché i tempi cambiano anche se gli idioti restano. Così l’ex opinione ex pubblica, dopo essere stata per due anni covidcentrica, ora si è improvvisamente scoperta ucrainocentrica.
Questo occidente, bislaccamente tramontato senza neppure rendersene conto, oggi è felicemente malato di russofobia e vede nella censura di Dostoevskij un buon esercizio di risveglio muscolare per l’intellettuale collettivo. Scambia per un segno di salute l’ennesima metastasi di un male più profondo e oscuro che il grande russo aveva diagnosticato più di un secolo mezzo fa e si chiama nichilismo. Ma non sono solo i censori di Dosto’ a soffrirne, ne patiscono anche molti, troppi censori dei censori, gelosi custodi di una libertà pelosa preposti a concedere la parola purché venga detta entro i reticolati della cultura dominante.
Mi interessa poco infierire sui poveri argomenti del magnifico rettore dell’ateneo milanese, o magnifica rettrice visto che in questi tempi barbari per una donna si usa dire così. Ho raggiunto un’età in cui si comprende che il grottesco non ha limiti se non negli abissi infernali dove nessuna parola ha più senso. E poi, guardare anche solo da lontano l’orrore dell’intelletto non è mai un esercizio salutare. Neppure ritengo interessante entrare nel dettaglio del corso su Dostoevskij prima negato, poi rinviato, poi concesso ma solo se accompagnato alla lettura di autori ucraini e poi portato dal titolare in altra sede. Siamo nell’ambito del trinariciutismo a suo tempo così ben stigmatizzato da Guareschi che nessuna pochezza di intelletto può veramente coglierci impreparati.
Mi preme di più, nel presentare Kafè Dosto’, accennare a un altro liquame intellettuale, proveniente in realtà dalla stessa cloaca, ma da un ramo più profondo, oscuro e pericoloso. Mi riferisco alle ipocrite alzate di testa di coloro che hanno subissato di improperi la magnifica rettrice bicocchiana e poi hanno spiegato che Dostoevskij va letto e studiato, sì, ma come antidoto a una certa idea della Russia e, ça va sans dire, a quel cattivo di Putin. Il brodo di cultura non lascia dubbi sulla qualità del dado gettato nel calderone. E va notato che, salvo alcune lodevoli nicchie di resistenza, la sbobba se la sono trangugiata voracemente e a reti unificate tanto a destra quanto a sinistra in campo politico, culturale, sociale e religioso.
Il frutto cresciuto su tale terreno mefitico si è palesato in un gran parlare di Dostoevskij in cui hanno messo becco tutti, soprattutto coloro che non ne hanno letto neppure una pagina e quindi non temono il ridicolo o lo spergiuro nel fargli dire quanto più aggrada all’intellettuale collettivo: che “Dostoevskij è da leggere come antidoto a Putin”. Neanche Dosto’ mi lasciano in pace.
Ora, non dico uno dei grandi romanzi, ché sono lunghi e non ci stanno in un messaggio di whatsapp o in un tweet, ma almeno il più breve articolo del Diario di uno scrittore qualcuno avrebbe anche potuto scorrerlo: Bompiani, 1.402 pagine suddivise in pezzi anche brevi, 40 euro. Che ne so, vi si potrebbe esercitare il ministro per gli Affari Esteri dell’attuale governo italiano che ha definito il Presidente della Federazione Russa “peggio di un animale” senza alcuna significativa reazione di maggioranza, opposizione e società “civile”.
Fra le pagine del Diario, gli adattatori di Dostevskij alle sirene del mondo e della Nato si imbatterebbero in qualche sorpresa. Scoprirebbero, per esempio, come, circa la “questione slava” in voga nei circoli culturali moscoviti e pietroburghesi, Fëdor Michajlovič proclamasse la superiorità della sua terra sull’Europa occidentale e sostenesse che quest’ultima, in qualche modo, appartiene a un destino comune per l’oriente e l’occidente da decidere sul suolo russo.
Non c’è un solo rigo di occidentalmente corretto nell’opera di Dostoevskij, stante che l’occidente è divenuto quel che è. Ma è proprio in tale chiave che se ne può cogliere l’universalità, da non confondere con il cosmopolitismo tanto caro a chi non va oltre Woody Allen e le sue turbe. Dio, la religiosità ortodossa, il rapporto con terra e il mondo, il peccato, la redenzione sono temi incomprensibili nello spirito dostoevskijano se si rapportano ai cascami europoidi intrisi di razionalismo e di romanticismo, due facce di una sola medaglia.
Stessa considerazione vale per le rivendicazioni territoriali, la storia, il futuro di città e popoli su cui il grande russo si intrattiene a lungo e con profondità illuminante anche sull’oggi. Tutte argomentazioni difficilmente comprensibili per un occidente nato già vecchio e preda dei poveri appetiti nazionalisti di cui l’esempio italiano è un caso di scuola fin nella cultura che lo ha cullato.
Più o meno in quegli anni l’Italia, nel sentimento borghese incarnato da Manzoni, si diceva “Una d’arme, di lingua, d’altare, di memorie, di sangue e di cor” e tanto le bastava per aspirare a un posto al sole. Intanto, nel Diario, Dostoevskij auspicava l’annessione di Costantinopoli alla Russia in nome di una inequivocabile chiamata all’universalità. A questo proposito scrive Armando Torno nell’introduzione che “il desiderio di annettere Costantinopoli alla Russia dobbiamo intenderlo come un sogno religioso e non semplicemente come un’esperienza politica. (…) Dostoevskij chiede appunto Costantinopoli in nome dell’universalità del cristianesimo russo”.
Elemento tanto presente al suo spirito da portarlo a rispondere così a chi gli chiedeva come entrasse la sua idea di Russia in una tale visione metafisica della storia: “Come guida dell’Ortodossia, come protettrice e conservatrice di essa, una parte le spetta già dai tempi di Ivan III e per indicare la quale questi mise l’aquila bizantina a due teste al di sopra dell’antico stemma della Russia. (…) Questo diritto sull’antica Zargrad sarebbe comprensibile e non offensivo per gli stessi slavi, gelosi della loro indipendenza, e perfino per gli stessi greci. In questo modo si darebbe a conoscere la vera essenza dei rapporti politici che debbono immancabilmente sorgere tra la Russia e tutte le nazioni ortodosse, greche o slave che siano. La Russia è la loro protettrice e forse anche la loro guida, non però la loro dominatrice; la loro madre e non la loro padrona”.
Bastano poche citazioni per capire quanto siano peregrine le reprimende ai censori di Dostoevskij esibite in favore di camera in nome di un Dostoevskij che non esiste. Il paradosso di una realtà così grottesca sta nel fatto che gli uni e gli altri, censori e pelosi censori dei censori, appartengono allo stesso mondo che lo scrittore russo descrive nei suoi romanzi come frutto di un nichilismo già conclamato anche se riconosciuto soltanto dai grandi spiriti. Come Fëdor Michajlovič, che lo aveva individuato e vinto nell’abbandono a Cristo, o come Nietzsche, che ne era divenuto preda assumendolo nel tentativo di superarlo affidandosi all’uomo nuovo.
Nessuno pretende che l’intellettuale collettivo studi e annoti I demoni con l’acribìa e la lacerante passione del filosofo tedesco, ma che almeno ci buttasse un occhio. Troverebbe il suo credo nelle pagine in cui i nichilisti discettano sulla vita, sulla morte, su Dio.
Verchovenski, per esempio, nella reperibilissima edizione Oscar Mondadori pagina 428: “Le persone con doti superiori non possono non essere dispotiche e hanno sempre corrotto più che giovato; esse vengono scacciate o soppresse. A Cicerone si taglia la lingua, a Copernico si cavano gli occhi, Shakespeare viene lapidato (…). Gli schiavi devono essere eguali: senza dispotismo non c’è ancora stata né libertà né eguaglianza. (…) La sete di istruzione è una sete aristocratica. Non appena sorge la famiglia o l’amore, ecco già anche il desiderio della proprietà. Noi faremo morire il desiderio: diffonderemo le sbornie, i pettegolezzi, le denunce; spargeremo una corruzione inaudita, spegneremo ogni genio nelle fasce. Tutto allo stesso denominatore, l’eguaglianza perfetta. (…) Piena obbedienza, completa assenza di personalità, ma una volta ogni trent’anni (…) si scatena anche una convulsione e tutti cominceranno a un tratto a divorarsi l’un l’altro, però fino a un certo punto, unicamente per evitare la noia”.
Difficilmente l’intellettuale collettivo, peloso difensore di Dostoevskij, potrà dire che questo non sia l’occidental way of life a cui si è votato e in cui sguazza così bene poiché tutto è permesso. Non può dirlo, lui che è figlio spirituale del Kirillov teorico del suicidio metafisico come espediente ultimo per sostituirsi a Dio. Medesima opera e medesima edizione, pagina 116: “Chiunque voglia la libertà suprema deve avere il coraggio di uccidersi. (…) Più in là non c’è libertà; qui è tutto e più in là non c’è nulla. Chi ha il coraggio di uccidersi, quello è Dio. Ora ognuno può fare che non ci sia più Dio e che non ci sia più nulla”.
Per essere la presentazione di un’iniziativa pur importante e appassionante come la riflessione sulla figura di Dostoevskij mi pare di averla tirata anche troppo in lungo. Ma ritengo importante spiegare onestamente cosa cercheremo di offrire a chi ci segue.
Dunque, si chiama Kafè Dosto’ e ora l’abbiamo aperto. In lettura e scrittura è accessibile a tutti gli amici di Ricognizioni: redattori, collaboratori e lettori dotati di un pensiero che nulla abbia di collettivo. Si entra senza green pass
Hard to say, all I know is that region is the same place they launched a lot of missiles as a search found several dates in february and early march that missiles were similarly seen to launch from there. I’d say it’s an Iskander but the “2 stage” thing looks off to me. The photo looks a bit different and I wonder why they couldn’t show the alleged 2nd stage in the video? Yet the photo is flipped vertically and the stage doesn’t look right because the initial contrail if you notice appears to be the same contrail that keeps going up. So I dunno if it’s some type of photoshop attempt or some other weird photo aberration but most likely it’s just a single staged Iskander.
Toni, with a little heart over the I, just sanctioned China for genocide of the Uighurs. Dumb mofo. From a commenter on Reminiscence of the Past page:
Genius US diplomacy at work again. US: China help us beat your friend now so we can focus on beating you later. China: No. US: Say a mean thing about them though. China: No. US: Well you better say a mean thing or else we’re gonna stomp our feet! China: I’m sorry, did you say something? US: You’re a meanie! We’re going make it so you can’t come and visit our third world country! That will show you meanies!
Fedorov, the creator of a popular military-themed YouTube channel in Russia, was arrested in Riga.
Kirill Fedorov is a Latvian citizen. According to reports, he was arrested as he was leaving for Russia. He is allegedly facing a charge of treason.
Europe apparently pressured Latvia to act.
European officials want to accuse Kirill Fedorov of treason because his films are pro-Russian
UK Prepares to seize Gazprom’s assets. No Russian response yet? Are they just going to sit back and watch as their national wealth is plundered. $300 Billion in reserves has already been stolen.
Why on earth did Putin reappoint the Central Bank woman who was so stupid as to place half of their foreign reserves outside their country and set up for seizure? No one can explain that. It just doesn’t add up.
To make them think that they’re “really hurting” Russia. Once reality sets in, these punitive actions will assuage their conscience enough to let them back away from WW3.
The Kiev regime was using an abandoned shopping mall as an arms depot and missile launcher storage facility in Kiev — it has now been taken out in a missile strike:
Hypersonic weapons are for this and upcoming wars against the EoL what “Stalin organs” (Katyusha) were in WWII against the German nazi scum, without the psychological warfare component, the howling sounds. The Germans better pay attention, their reading of the message sent by Russia is correct. Hopefully they will get it this time.
In Germany, the use of “Dagger” in Ukraine was considered a warning for NATO
German expert Hegman called the use of “Dagger” in Ukraine a warning for NATO
MOSCOW, 22 Mar-RIA Novosti. Hypersonic weapons-the Dagger missile-first used by Russia in a special military operation in Ukraine pose an unsolvable problem for the West. This opinion was expressed in an article for the German newspaper Die Welt by columnist Gerhard Hegman.
Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of DefenseIgor Konashenkov said that the hypersonic missile “Dagger” inIn the Ivano-Frankivsk region, the storage of combat units for the Ukrainian Tochka-U tactical missile systems was destroyed, as well as large fuel depots inMykolaiv region.
Military experts, the article says, are considering the use ofUsing “Dagger” as a warning from the Russian PresidentVladimir Putin’s address to NATO. The North Atlantic Bloc, and especially its European members, are aware of the effectiveness of hypersonic weapons, against which they do not have effective systems to repel them.
The Dagger can travel at ten times the speed of sound. In this regard, the reaction time after its identification is extremely short. Therefore, the missile is considered almost invulnerable to Western air defense systems, Hegman summarizes….
————————————-
It seems Russia has achieved another form of asymmetric parity with the West. They have their “Stealth” which is a sort of tie-breaking element of the arms race that allows them to possibly overpower Russian air defenses but now Russia has hypersonics that would asymmetrically likewise overpower Western air defenses, guaranteeing that in a 2 way conflict neither side would be safe, this is now a dagger (Kindjal) at the throat of the Western Imperium
“There should be a clear signal that there is no agreement for international corporations to be shielded by money in a situation where this money is fueling Russia’s military behemoth,” the spokesman said.
1. “Daggers”.
The use of hypersonic weapons in Ukraine was a very significant event. Russia has demonstrated weapons that can be launched from long distances, which easily overcome the existing focal air defense system of Ukraine and destroy complex targets. The Russian Defense Ministry hinted at ” other warheads.” The hint, of course, is not for Ukraine. The case when the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation showed a “cartoon” to the general public, and the Ukrainian public did not like this “cartoon” at all.
2. Kiev.
Against the backdrop of fighting to the west and east of Kiev, the main theme was the strike on the shopping center in the north-western part of Kiev. Shouts about the “attack on a peaceful object” were easily interrupted by the invoice when it turned out that the shopping center was used as a parking lot for MLRS and self-propelled guns, as well as as an ammunition depot. With the help of technical intelligence data, the position of the Ukrainian artillery was calculated and carefully destroyed. After that, Ukraine began to prepare a law prohibiting the removal of positions of Ukrainian equipment under pain of prison. However, the Russian means of objective control cannot be intimidated by a prison, and citizens who report on the location and positions of the Ukrainian occupation forces will do so a little more anonymously and cautiously. Near Chernihiv without changes.
3. Soums.
There was an attempt to carry out a provocation with chemicals in the city area, which the Russian Defense Ministry warned about a few days earlier. It turned out to be completely rotten, and a few hours after the leak, it was announced that it was fixed. But, of course, new provocations with the “use of chemical weapons. weapons in Ukraine” are inevitable. It is necessary to somehow interrupt the topic with biolabs. Moreover, the owners of the “White Helmets” and the Ukrainian Nazis are about the same people. So the movie about “Russia poisons Ukraine with chemicals” is still ahead.
4. Kharkiv.
To the north and the city of boi. Chuguev — under the APU. Balakleya and most of the Raisins — under the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. APU in the southern part of the city is still sitting. There are fights near the Izyum-Slavyansk highway, as well as near Kamenka.
5. LNR.
Fighting in the area of Lisichansk, Severodonetsk and Popasnaya. No significant progress was reported.
6. Marinka/Avdiivka.
Small progress at Marinka. Avdiivka without major changes. Fighting also continues near Verkhnetoretsky. The Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to try to grab onto this village.
7. Ugledar.
Ugledar itself has not yet been taken. Fighting continues in the direction of the Marinka—Kurakhovo highway. Their results will most likely become clear tomorrow. Velikaya Novoselka is under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Steppe, Sweet and Taramchuk — under the army of the DPR.
8. Mariupol.
The city is still being cleaned up, and there are some small improvements in construction. Attempts by the defenders to blend in with the civilian population and escape from the city are becoming more frequent. The less persistent ones begin to gradually peel off from the main core of the defenders and try to save their lives. According to Pushilin, the capture of the city will take another week or even more.
9. Nikolaev.
There are no major changes. The city continues to receive heavy air strikes on identified targets and positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Kim’s “counteroffensive” is no longer mentioned. In Kherson, they began to disperse Maidauns by force. A step in the right direction. Filtration and counterterrorism measures are gradually being activated throughout the territory liberated from the Nazis.
10. Zaporozhye.
Without major changes, only local battles were noted. There is also no significant advance near Nikopol.

It seems Russia has achieved another form of asymmetric parity with the West. They have their “Stealth” which is a sort of tie-breaking element of the arms race that allows them to possibly overpower Russian air defenses but now Russia has hypersonics that would asymmetrically likewise overpower Western air defenses, guaranteeing that in a 2 way conflict neither side would be safe, this is now a dagger (Kindjal) at the throat of the Western Imperium
I don’t think they are comparable. I always believed the US “stealth technology” was more of a hype than a real, trascendental technological leap in the arms race. The F-117, first “stealth fighter” entered service in 1981, and according to Wikipedia, “…Although it was commonly referred to as the “Stealth Fighter”, it was strictly a ground-attack aircraft…”
The Soviet Union at that time was trapped in the Afghan war, which eventually lead to its dissolution. The F-22 entered service in 2005 (first flight 1997), however, by 1999 the now renamed Russia had developed the Struna-1 anti-stealth radar, whose successive models are “rumored” to be deployed around Moscow.
I believe Russia saw through the “stealth technology” hype, and defeated it early on at the turn of the century, a fit they cannot make public. Even the “National Interest” does not know much about this system, stating “it is rumored” they are deployed around Moscow.
Kinzhal is another beast altogether. The “stealth” qualities of the Kinzhal are its speed, erratic flight path, unpredictability and maneuverability. US/NATO have been trying to catch up for several years now, at no avail. Parallel to nuclear capable hypersonic weapons, Russia has developed radars to detect them (now for sale), which means even if the West gets to (finally) build hypersonic weapons, their detection and neutralization is assured.
I have not once heard the Zelensky government talk in a normal way about its Russian citizens, or speak to them with empathy. It does not call tell them compatriots who share a love for the country Ukraine, which would be the normal thing to say. In addition to this lack of empathy, both Crimea and the Donbass are called “occupied territories.” Coupled with lack of empathy, this description sounds like it may be referring to all the Russians who live there, with no room to blame people who take it that way. When the Russian hears “occupied territories”, he sees the Nazi. Right? Disregarding that Russia says it is in a de-nazification military campaign, a personal meeting with Putin is mentioned alongside “occupied territories” as if to cancel the “negotiations” or pre-determine the outcome, and Ukraine’s negotiators are actually complaining about pre-determined outcomes. Since those “occupied territories” are now lost to Ukraine, using this “provocative” term now only interferes with peace. Why not “Crimea and Donbass” instead? Pure and simple, not bad, more like perfect. It would facilitate the desired negotiations. They insist with “occupied territories” though.
“The Ukrainian Occupation of Europe” is a machine translation of an article by political scientist and publicist Rostislav Ishchenko.
What has been happening in recent years with Europe resembles the Great Migration of peoples in the first centuries of our era.
In those ancient, well-forgotten times, the unfortunate tribes, numbering up to 100-200 thousand people (each) as a whole (including women, children, the elderly), capable of fiercely hating each other and fiercely hating each other and fighting each other much more often than united in a coalition against Rome, suddenly erased from the face of the earth, a great millennial empire, whose population fluctuated around 50-60 million, and the armed forces reached 300 (and according to optimistic estimates, 600) thousand people.
There is no correct construction in Russian to describe this event. We say that Rome was conquered by barbarians, but we must say that Rome was “conquered” by barbarians, that is, it conquered itself by these barbarians.
2000 years have passed, and Europe has completely repeated the path of Rome – it has reached the level of a global empire, has become decrepit and is now conquering itself with new barbarians. It is she who conquers herself. At first, the Europeans decided that the dirtiest, most dangerous and low-prestige jobs in their countries should be performed by new barbarians. There was nothing wrong with that yet. This is what many nations do in their heyday.
But at the second stage, the Europeans decided that these barbarians deserve to be considered Europeans, regardless of whether they adopted European culture or still eat their own kind. This is a cruel mistake. The mistake is all the more terrible because the ancient Chinese wisdom has been known for three millennia, saying: “A Khan behaving like a barbarian is a barbarian behaving like a Khan—Khan.” That is, in order to integrate into society and obtain equal rights in it, one must first accept and master the culture of this society. Only after this culture becomes your culture, you can become a responsible member of society and a full citizen of the country.
If migrants arriving to you from the very first day begin to demand free housing, free medicine, financial benefits in the amount of an average salary, and also resent the fact that the minarets of the Notre Dame Mosque still do not rise on the island of Sita, you will quickly come to the conclusion that Somalis fleeing from their own national traditions in the blink of an eye will turn Belle France into Somalia.
In general, the process of turning Europe into Africa was in full swing when it turned out that this was not the worst thing that could happen to it. The Russian special operation began, and millions of Ukrainian “patriots” realized that defending their homeland in Europe is much more profitable than throwing a grenade under a Russian tank. In three weeks, the thirty-million-strong Ukraine has thrown more migrants into Europe than the three hundred million-strong Africa in three years.
These “decent people” are not used to work. They have quite a barbaric national “raiding economy”. Due to the inability to raid their neighbors (because of their military weakness), they have been robbing each other and their own state for the last thirty years, having managed to get to the point that the state practically ceased to exist. And then, when the prospect of starvation loomed quite clearly in front of them (you never know how many barbarian tribes died out like that), salvation came from where they did not expect: Russia launched a special operation, and Europe, outraged that Russian barbarians are being taught intelligence, and not learning from them, opened wide the doors (or even gates) to Ukrainians.
As you know, barbarians should not be invited twice. The Ukrainian epic brought from the depths of centuries the legend that Ukrainians are “Central Europeans”, that is, “Europeans with a quality mark”, who dug the Black Sea and taught the Sumerians writing when the ancestors of the Romance and Germanic peoples had not yet fallen off their tails. According to this legend, Ukrainians are the original owners of European goods, illegally deprived of their property by “Muscovites”. Justice must prevail when European brothers in mind accept Ukrainians into the EU.
It is not necessary to possess all the unsurpassed power of the Ukrainian mind to understand that if the gates to the EU were opened for integration individually, and not collectively (by the whole country), it means that the learned interpreters of ancient texts were a little mistaken. Ukrainians will become Europeans, but Ukraine will not become Europe. Anyway, Ukrainians have already gnawed Ukraine to the bone – let the “Muscovites” build up meat on this skeleton now. In general, the “creators of civilization”, mired in barbarism, rushed in droves to defenseless Europe.
And now let’s remember from one time what the barbarians were doing in Rome, even before its fall and even more so after? Correctly. They set their own rules. At first, the Roman army bent under barbaric habits, in which the barbarians took leading positions. Then the Roman economy and Roman finance began to work in a style that did not require much effort from a simple barbarian intellect. In the end, the Roman political system also gave up, and the “dark ages” came.

[Andrei: This author’s experience amidst the Western propaganda blitzkrieg closely mirrors your own, as you previously described here. She also relates tales from people in Donbas I’d never heard before.]
It is increasingly being suggested that Biden is de facto tacitly removed from power. For example, in connection with the recent situation when Biden first said that Putin is not a war criminal, and then came back and said the opposite. And Harris behaves like a person in a difficult situation – laughing in inappropriate places, admits reservations in speech. Who thinks what about such assumptions?

Should be rather uncomfortable until end 2023 and more.
Agreed. They are using phased array beam-forming, similar to modern military radars. Now imagine 1000s of satellites, millions of ground antennas, all over the globe, 24/7.
But the territories of Germany and Poland are now part of the Empire of Lies, aren’t they? Therefore, we read the opposite: “Mariupol has become a symbol of the brutality of the Ukrainian military leadership”” etc.

Question: “How can this madness be stopped?”
Answer: “Stop supporting the insane puppet Ukrainian government. The Americans, who control the Ukrainian puppets, should give an order for a cease-fire and surrender of weapons”.
Question: “How can I personally help stop the killing of people in Ukraine?”
Answer: “Recognize and do not spread propaganda of the Empire of Lies. If you are not in danger, share truthful information about Ukraine”/
I have often wondered why any serious investors would invest in markets:
1. Of a nation that murders and genocides the defenseless such as women and children – by the millions
2. And their inhumane wars are endless
3. That steals the resources of defenceless nations by bribery and blackmail
4. That lies about everything…
5. Has its own citizens living on the streets in feces and urine as adjudicated by its Courts.
6. Pays little attention to the health needs of its veterans that have returned from its wars
7. Imposes illegal mandates on its people to take injections of substances of questionable content but nevertheless – admitting the uselessness of vaccine intent and includes useless masks.
8 Intent of savaging early children with variations to their sexuality – by opinion – or is its a fee per child?
9. Imposition of jabs on early children (defenseless) with toxic vaccines
10 Has its ‘leadership’ in the hands of a bigger idiot that Baby Bush while being corruption as his God link to a drug satiated representative son.
11. Has its FedRes bias all monies to the 0.001% Banker elite while screwing its citizens.
12. Let’s not forget The State Department which actively is engaged in developing more wars with other defenseless nations like Libya – sodomizing their leaders using marine knives.
13. And the genocide of Palestinians – now that is just sick
I could go on, however… but I don’t call any of this as ‘civilization’.
… also doesn’t allow me to have any faith in this junkies paradise.
Perhaps those PTB ie Bolsheviks / NAZI / CIA / Nato can whack Brandon / Blinken / Nuland and A Team when he visits Poland (as rumoured) next week with a super dooper US Missile?
The Z can blame Russia and say ‘I told you so’ LOL
Something is so far being overlooked as we pull to one side – USA or Russia. It is Ukraine itself. The Comedian ‘president’ Mr. Z apparently is actually born in the Russian-speaking oblast Dnipropetrovsk, with a grandfather who was a Russian soldier in WWII. Mr Z is also a Jew – yes? What do Jews think of the ‘Holocaust’ (trade mark)? Zelensky did propose in 2019 to treat the Donbass residents as Ukrainian residents as a first step to supposedly fulfilling his election process to end the conflict. The ‘right’ nationalists, Nazis, and Banderists refused this, and then sought to force the resignation of Zelensky due to ‘treason’. OK. In October 2019 Zelensky moved to accept the German ” Steinmeier formula” in order to ‘jump-start’ the Minsk agreements – the obvious irreconciliable point being that the ensuing Ukrainian border control question prior to the projected elections in Donbass. Again the nationalists in Ukraine decried treason, saying “No to Capitulation”. Far right activists set up an armed checkpoint to prevent disengagement in a frontline town, with their Interior Ministry needing to take 2 weeks to disarm the nationalists.
In December 2019 the ‘Normandy format’ met France, Germany, Ukraine, Mr. Putin, resulting in a ‘watered-down disengagement’ by Ukraine at the line of contact, and a complete failure to resolve the Ukraine-Russia border control question. By Fall 2020 a consultative effort by Ukraine’s Andrey Yermak and Russia’s Dimitry Kozak caused further Ukrainian nationalists to cry out in anguish. Here there is a near-total disconnect resulting in the seemingly inevitable events of the present.
So, we can ascertain that Zelensky actually did make a good-faith effort to resolve the Donbass crisis, but it all efforts, as weak as the Russian side believes them to be, utterly failed. Of course then the American regime-change neo-cons strategies then took the forefront.
Recall, too, the the Azov battalion in Mariupol executed a Ukranian general when he attempt to disarm the Nazi element there, and that Ukraine itself then sent in one of their remain heavy missiles to eliminate a nest of Naziis in Mariupol. Now, we have Zelensky issuing the same order Hitler ordered in the defense of Berlin in 1945 to fight to the last man in defense of Mariupol. Additional background: the US has made this war policy since 1975, learned when the Vietnam war protests led to the forcing of the end of the Vietnam war with a demonstration in Yugoslavia when no American soldier died as they bombed Serbia for 78 days That is, as long as no Americans get killed and policy objectives are met they would have a free hand domestically – Americans mindless distracted by consumerism. Everyone knows the American seek to rule (or at least dominate the world). How could any one now argue that is not true? Why else would they add to American’s domestic economic disintegration with the costs of the present Ukraine war and sanctions? It would be worth it only if the goal was to capture Russia and control its resources. Look how the Ukranians have been doing just that in Donbass since 2014 – now obvious the goal being to reclaim the territory and destroy the population. For reinforcement of this view see the race-select biological warfare programs initiated by the US in Ukraine – all 30+ facilities.
Now, fast-forward to the present. Could it be that Zelensky is on the Russians side here? A Jew – the Holocaust – the shoot-down of the link of the Holocaust by Israel – the Nazi-force Azov battalion in Mariupol. Then look at Macron of France – seeking to be political advantage at all costs, phony as he is – and the famed ‘political ponerology’ theories expounded in the book by Andrew Lobaczewski. And, the obvious psychopathic technocratic elements driving the implosion of the present world systems leading to their control and ownership of everything with guaranteed income tying the commoners to not get out of line or have their economic life ended. And, the resistance and threat of Russia and China to create a competing economic system and the destruction of the petrodollar itself. Look at the issue of the Russian central bank foreign reserves and the re-nomination by Putin of the Russian central reserve chairperson. Why would he do that after $300 billion foreign reserves supposedly frozen the US world controller. See how the dollar will be undermined by Saudi petroleum denominated in Yuan – this is not a small country here China – and how the seizure of Russia’s foreign reserve might be a necessary sacrifice to broadcast to the world that all your Wall Street holdings can go up in smoke if you don’t follow American dictates (and they called Trump a dictator!)
Connect the dots. Zelensky is supervising, in his clown-like manner, the end of Ukranian statehood, while he condemns the Nazi Azov battalion to extermination in Mariupol – all while he is “the West’s” new celebrity darling. Now, is that be brilliant, or what! People are saying that everything is phony now anyway – the economy, the politics, “jobs”, “elections” – could it be that all this a just a game for world domination at all costs, whether it be by China or by the United States?
Of course, the part that really grabbed me was the following “obvious psychopathic technocratic elements driving the implosion of the present world systems leading to their control and ownership of everything.”
The nightmare is selective. What if we woke up tomorrow and found the control room was empty, there are no wizards behind the curtain. When I look at U.S. and other western leaders, I see the face of obvious impotency trying to convince everyone they are still calling the shots. A mass of squirming incompetents. The face of that which churns upon the Beast. They always have the answer, whatever the cost. Then issue the rest of us a bill and move on.
Factual analysis of US bio-labs in Ukraine, published by Russia’s Ministry of Defense. See link to other US-sponsored bio-labs in Georgia. Follow the links, plenty of info, courtesy Colonel Cassad.
Factual analysis of published documents concerning American bio-laboratories in Ukraine.
The study of pathogens of Congo-Crimean fever in Lviv was conducted in gross violation of all conceivable norms — the first part of the analysis of materials of the Russian Defense Ministry on Ukrainian biolabs from the Rybar team
We have carefully analyzed the archive of documents (https://t.me/rybar/28913published by the Russian Defense Ministry on March 17, 2022. Unfortunately, 80% of the materials are very ordinary and ordinary documents, on the basis of which it is premature to draw a number of conclusions. In slides (https://disk.yandex.ru/d/Y8zIZLLNV6M9Fg) describes a high-profile story, while in evidence (https://disk.yandex.ru/d/ndINmQKPfDRM0w)- a modest bureaucracy, which, if desired, can be easily protected by a good law firm.
But among the entire array, we managed to isolate the main thing — and this covers all other shortcomings.
First, let’s go through the main theses:
▪️ On avian influenza: project working documents were published with minimal information content and a large number of announced plans, 70% of which will never be completed (who wrote the grant applications knows). It is impossible to draw any conclusions based on these documents alone.
▪️ On bats: An attempt was made to build a surveillance system with sample collection and source identification. But all that follows from the documents is that they are project documents describing a potentially dual-use program.
Given the fact that the European Center for Disease Control cannot really build its entire unified network, much less include countries outside the EU, the creation of a surveillance network in Ukraine is rather not very science fiction.
This, by the way, also rejects many excuses made by the apologists of these programs. The Americans will not put the entire system of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in any way in order, and here it is supposed to build such a large program in a country where all the infrastructure is broken.
▪️Transfer of biomaterial to other countries: this is common practice. The Ukrainian side can easily justify itself by saying that they are poor and have no equipment of their own (the fact that they destroyed Soviet laboratories and made themselves dependent is another matter), and the population, they say, needs to be taken care of.
The only thing you can catch on to is sending documents to the Lugar Center in Georgia, which has repeatedly become involved in scandals. But we are sure that now the American curators have already cleaned up the extra documents.
An interesting document is the extension of the UP-8 project, one of the goals of which is to study the particularly dangerous Congo-Crimean fever virus. The project involves assessing the level of its incidence in Ukraine and, potentially, conducting differential diagnostics to distinguish this fever from leptospirosis. This explains the presence of 200+ samples of leptospirosis in Lviv.
But this does not explain why projects related to the Congo-Crimean fever were studied in a BSL-2 laboratory. According to all requirements, such studies of this virus should be conducted in a BSL-4 laboratory, which is not available in Ukraine (https://t.me/rybar/28166). There is a gross violation of all the requirements for working with deadly pathogens: there is no concern for the health and life of the population of the region.
But the fact of violating the requirements for conducting research is further complicated by the fact that a company that has nothing to do with healthcare and biotechnology was allowed to participate in research under the UP-8 project.
The contract for the project was signed with the American firm Black & Veatch, which we cannot consider anything other than part of the US scientific and technical intelligence in the region. The company also has nothing to do with healthcare. B&V has never been officially associated with epidemiology. This is a construction company that provides a very wide range of services. The allocated amounts are quite small (1-2 million dollars) and in the United States they would only be enough to pay 10 employees during the year (without purchasing reagents and other consumables).
And in 16 samples, antibodies were detected, which is actually close to the indicators of an endemic region where cases of the disease are regularly recorded. Even though the research doesn’t require much time, it’s not clear why this project has been running for several years.
B&V was represented in the study by Olena Nesterova. The fact is that it has a critically small number of (https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Nde-0LIAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao) scientific publications (only four of them, two of them in Ukrainian) and there is no degree of at least a candidate of sciences. And such a person is conducting a project related to the Congo-Crimean fever in the BSL-2 laboratory, which is a direct violation of all conceivable norms. But after completing the study, she was put in charge (https://www.linkedin.com/in/olena-nesterova-a8409111b/?originalSubdomain=ua) by the Public Health Research Institute.
People who lived in the Soviet era will begin to remember the practice of working in “boxes”: there were research institutes where only a postal address was available from all open information, and people conducted classified research. After employees of such enterprises went to “citizen” in good positions, they could easily be calculated by the lack of a minimum scientific background in open sources.
The head of Black & Veatch is Lance Lippenkot, who works with (https://www.linkedin.com/in/lance-lippencott-56861832/) has been in Ukraine for 11 years, but does not have a specialized education. This is a graduate of West Point, an aeromechanical engineer who has nothing to do with biology, much less biotechnology. A person with a military past and no military present.
What do we have in the bottom line?
▪️ There is strong evidence that the Americans are indeed in charge of Ukrainian biolabs.
▪️ There are clear indications that the programs conducted there do not really correspond to the declared goals.
▪️ Dual-use projects are potentially being developed there.
It is supervised by people from the military environment who have nothing to do with healthcare or biotechnology.
▪️ Under this story, scientific papers are adjusted, which are molded “for show” by very low-class professionals, and a fairly simple project takes several years. And one of its main performers eventually gets an important and responsible position that absolutely does not correspond to her competencies.
Navalny was a good useful idiot for the US/Eurostan/West Russophobes, now he’s on his way to a high-security penal colony somewhere in Siberia, maybe, where the wind turns around. He could have been doing his anti-Putin thing in Eurostan, celebrated side by side with the Belarusian opposition, instead, he’s been condemned to be forgotten, even by the Western masters that pushed him to be a “hero” or a “martyr” to the cause…or a useful idiot.
The New York Times reported today that Ukraine has about 55 fighter jets, interviewing a pilot who flies an Su-27:
“In the night sky, Andriy said he relies on instruments to discern the positions of enemy planes, which he says are always present. He has shot down Russian jets but was not permitted to say how many, or of which type. He said his targeting system can fire at planes a few dozen miles away.”
“Andriy”, 25, said that he knew many fighter pilots who died, including pilots more experienced than himself. Maybe his only survival chance is for Zelensky to surrender: “’I had situations when I was approaching a Russian plane to a close enough distance to target and fire,’ he said. ‘I could already detect it but was waiting for my missile to lock on while at the same time from the ground they tell me that a missile was fired at me already.’ He said he maneuvered his jet through a series of extreme banks, dives and climbs in order to exhaust the fuel supplies of the missiles coming after him. ‘The time I have to save myself depends on how far away the missile was fired at me and what kind of missile,’ he said.”
What’s the point of bringing “news” here from the NYT, that Wall Street mouthpiece? Didn’t have enough with their lies about Iraq? They were the ones behind that “ace” pilot that shot the entire Russian Aerospace Forces. Just reading the NYT is a losing exercise, and a waste of time, let alone considering it a source of reliable news.
I quit my membership for reasons like you state, but subscribed again because of Russia-Ukraine. In this report, I learned that some Ukranian planes are taking off from highways, for example. They fly 5 to 10 sorties per day. I think it says the Russians fly about 200 sorties per day. It’s news too. Not all is going to be lies. What made me unsubscribe before is the poor analysis quality they have, but this is different. If I keep my subscription “afterwards” (I want to say “war”), it will be for their Time Machine. You can read any NYT back to 1854. (It used to be a great newspaper. In the 1860s, they gave transcripts of speeches by short-hand as if tape recording them.)
You imply that the NYT story could be lie. More than lying, now and then they quote liars as if they were honest, and lying is a hard thing to judge because many biased people lie to themselves. It says there are “crumpled remnants of Russian fighter jets have crashed into rivers, fields and houses.” That can be verified or disproven.
That’s not how the NYT work. They work by innuendo, insinuations, subliminal threads. As Andrei Martyanov describes it, they don’t give you news, but narratives.
1) They are biased, and you know that.
2) They are liars, and you know that.
3) They sell their narrative to people who buy the newspaper, therefore, consciously or subconsciously these people are already “in” the loop, relatively easy for them to swallow whatever the NYT print.
What is going on in the Severodonetsk-Lisichansk area?
From Southfront:
Meanwhile, forces of LPR and Russia have been advancing in the Severodonetsk-Lysichansk agglomeration. After the fall of Rubezhnoe, Kyiv troops focused on the defense of the southern part of Severodonetsk and the center of Lysichansk.
How old is that info?
I am Vietnamese. I totally understand RU’s reaction to Ukraine.
The situation is somewhat comparable to that of Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge vis a vis Vietnam in 1975. It was a national security and existential issue for Vietnam when Cambodia was in the hands of a hostile 100% anti-Vietnamese regime receiving orders from a foreign superpower.
Vietnam decided to finish up the issue after three and a half years (from May 1975 to Dec 1978), expecting and accepting the Chinese retaliation. Vietnam invaded Cambodia and less than 2 months later China attacked Vietnam (resulting in a 1 month war with 100 thousand casualties on each side). The US sided with the Khmer Rouge and embargoed Vietnam. Same as now with the Nazi.
When you compare the balance of power between Vietnam and China then and between RU and the collective West now, it is laughable!
The point is a country needs to do what it needs to do when it comes to national security.
I am just amazed that RU showed so much patience. She waited 8 years!
I toured Vietnam and Cambodia a few years ago. I travelled with my son and both felt in love of Vietnam and Saigon. I found quite confusing the situation that you just referred: USA backing the loonies of Kmer Rouge, then China. Any sources I can read that you can suggest?
A week ago my son and I were recalling that trip and we both mentioned the will to go back to Saigon and spend some time there.
I can say that we toured “The Killing Fields” movie when we went there: The area were the US embassy was located at the “fall of Saigon”, the former CIA building where the last American chopper left (sort of Kabul run away) decades ago.
Hi Jorge,
Regarding China, it’s well documented that the Khmer Rouge were fully supported, armed, by China. And when China attacked Vietnam in Feb 1979, Deng Shao Ping also said it was to teach Vietnam a lesson. The hot sino vietnamese war was 1 month duration, but the low intensity tension lasted 10 more years until 1989 when the 2 countries signed the friendship treaty.
The US did not give material support to the Khmer Rouge, but diplomatic one. They, along with China of course, kept the Khmer Rouge at the Cambodian spot in the UN. And the embargo imposed on Vietnam by the US since 1975 increased after Vietnam invaded Cambodia (the embargo was lifted in 1996 under Bill Clinton’s presidency)
Regards
It was a crazy situation.
Basically the west punished vietnam to overthrow one of the most brutal regime in the history..while pham van dong should have been awarded the nobel price to finally end that brutal regime
It was a post vietnam war time so the US was resentful..and post nixon china meeting..so the us would not go against china.
Vietnamese people are among the nicest..as well as toughest in the world. Be nice, they ll open their home…be an ass..and they ll kick your ass big time. So much respect.
( I have Lived in hanoi for few years..miss it dearly)
Indeed they are, Vietnamese have kicked the arses if Chinese, Japanese, France and the Empire. Nice as friends but tough to the top if you mess with them.
I respect them very much as people and society
The US definitely gave material support to the KR, it was done through the Thai military. At the Thai/Kampuchean border humanitarian aid was redistributed away from refugee camps and to KR scum.
Jorge, if you want to read a solid depiction of the topic, I recommend “The rise and fall of communism” by a British academic, Archie Brown. It is precisely as BN tells it is, but the details are even more bizarre. A whole chapter is dedicated to this entangled story and the US role in it.

Brother or sister,
I see you are already getting the history lessons and skewed one sided American history lessons from people less qualified than you to know. Have fun with that. I know the US supported the Khmer Rouge
Andrei Martyanov mentioned in one of his videos, paraphrasing,
that “Canada’s foreign minister was granddaughter to that SS guy”
I can find no link between Joly or Freeland with Bandera.
Can anyone fill this in?

Freeland’s grandfather was the Ukrainian Goebbels during WWII.

I don’t know if this might help you, but “Amazing Polly” does makes an epic history between the links of the expatriate Ukrainian immigrants in Canada and the Kyiv regime today:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/VHud_qBZrhM/
That is pretty well known scandal in Canadia politics. She claimed that she didn’t know her grandfather was ukro-nazi. There should be mountains of reporting on it.
Freeland was standing with a Blood and Soil banner supporting Ukraine.
Give it time, this skeleton’s bones are rattling is Freeland’s closet.

If you google Chrystia Freeland nazi you will get some hits. Below is a link I found but there are many more.
https://coat.ncf.ca/research/Chomiak-Freeland/C-F1.htm
Canadians should not be surprised by the fact that our Liberal Foreign Minister, Chrystia Freeland, has been hiding a big Nazi skeleton in her family closet.
She is deputy pm and finance minister sir.
Michel: Yes and what?
True. She used to be foreign minister. She gets around.
Not sure why you couldn’t find this.
https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/chrystia-freelands-granddad-was-indeed-a-nazi-collaborator-so-much-for-russian-disinformation/
Its grandfater was one Mykhailo Khomyak, a Ukronazi journalist.
Not with Bandera himself, but Freeland’s grandfather fought in some Nazi-alligned militia in the Ukraine during World War II. Then, later in the war, as the Russians were driving the Nazis westward, he did also, and ended up in Canada, as did many other Ukrainians that fought with the Nazis. To-day, their descendants, like Freeland, are a blight on Canada
I could find nothing about Joly, but Freeland – yes. Her grandfather was a nazi collaborator.
https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/chrystia-freelands-granddad-was-indeed-a-nazi-collaborator-so-much-for-russian-disinformation
Freeland has also been seen carrying neo-nazi banners at protests.
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/03/03/free-m03.html
So yes, she is quite the little ukronazi herself.
A meeting between Ze and Putin would be a setup. Two birds, one stone. Which side loses most in that kind of scenario?
Does anybody know if the latest motherboards/mainboards and latest AMD CPUs, will work with windows XP? IOW, if anybody has experience/knowledge of it working, no need to do any researching (which, of course, I could do myself, but I think this would be faster).
A yes answer with the name of the board & CPU would be great.
Many thanks.
Do not consider running Windows XP except to recover some data. It has no security updates for several years already. If you really need it then consider using it in a virtual machine (see Virtual Box on Linux). Good luck
Forget it. I used to work in IT repairshop, we had problems with recent CPUs and motherboards even with Windows 7, especially if some customers asked for Windows 7 32bit, and considering Windows XP is by default 32bit, I think you can just forget it. The biggest problem we encounered with Win7 is trying to find drivers for graphic, wifi and sound cards.
Hello Ralph,
The problem is that XP does not have all the drivers that interface between the operating system and all devices such as video card, sound, cpu, ssd, etc.
So, years ago, I installed linux (xubuntu in this case) which handles old and new hardware, much more efficient and quicker.
Within ubuntu, I installed virtualbox.org’s software and created a virtual XP operating system, which runs many times faster than the native version.
In my case, I keep using the virtual XP to do all my visual basic program.
I just bought a very fast notebook, for gaming, 3 TB ssd and sdd drives. The XP session just flies, no problem with drivers and compatiblity.
Hope this helps, regards,
Geneva Observer: I know. I’ve tried Linux & will prob move over to that, eventually. Sick of m$ (only been using m$ for 31 yrs; sad, I know) coming out with new – & often worse – versions which is like hiring an interior designer to mess up your home every year or so.
Vedran: Mine still works – graphics & wifi, printers etc. Didn’t like the trash vista, 7 (with the absolute rubbish search files function, compared to XP), 8 nor 10 (forget 11).
Marc: still works with everything I need. Sometimes problems with sites, then I just use 10, but don’t like it. XP64 would be nice, but the drivers for the main/motherboard I think would be a problem. I believe can’t use latest intel unless using win 10 (that is, m$). I prefer latest AMD now anyway.
Virtual sounds good.
Regards to you to Marc.
I’ve run and are running Windows XP in Virtual Box on Ubuntu 12 to 20 (= 10+ years old version to latest) – and AMD CPUs. Works just fine (running standard apps. like text editors, word processors, spreadsheets and browsers). Though USB is a bit of a pain to setup. Virtual Box of course, shields it from the low-level motherboard and CPU details. Speed is perfectly good (for the standard apps). Doubt you could or would run games on it though. Wireless and/or wired Internet/Ethernet works fine too.
– Does anybody know if the latest motherboards/mainboards and latest AMD CPUs,
You have the option of buying a CPU from the XP area.
This CPU (2010) is maybe too new, but look at price: Intel Xeon L5630 @ 2.13GHz pre-owned $3.99 (speed equal to Intel i5)
Joe: Thanks for your info on the Virtual Box. I don’t play comp games so no prob there.
kjell: that is a possibility but I was thinking of something new.
Ralph,
Also, you don’t need Linux to run Virtual Box. It runs on Window too. So if you’ve got a late-model Windows machine, just install Virtual Box. And then XP into that. You can at least try it for free.
Also, don’t forget that most apps that support XP are pretty ancient now. Eg; Firefox is version 52. Must be about 10 years old, and struggles with some of the latest CSS and Javascript (some sites will bre pretty much unuseable – though most still work).
The day Russia starts selling its resources in Rubles, it will start winning. Until then, Russia is its own worst enemy. Which nation fund its foes?
The West has put sanctions on Russia and frozen its central bank reserves. Russia needs to stop selling resources to these nations in their private currencies ($€£¥…). It needs to demand payment from them in Rubles. These adversaries will have to do currency swaps. Russia needs to refuse currency swap with any nation that wants to freeze its reserves. These adversaries will be forced to unfreeze the reserves to do trade with Russia. Will Russia checkmate its adversaries?
Russia needs to end the floating of Ruble too. It can’t let its Ruble’s value be defined by markets controlled by its adversaries and traitors. Time to end this looting and proactively manage the currency value. There is no sovereignty without monetary sovereignty.
There are no contracts with adversaries. They end when an entity becomes hostile.
Let’s see if Russia wants to be sovereign and smart. Don’t be your own worst enemy, Russia. Transcend to achieve sovereignty, security and prosperity.
Perhaps the US and EU are scared, and that’s why the EU is talking about cutting out all of Russian energy? That would be a lot of Rubles, and basically, Russia would be beating the west at its own game. But, there’s also the rest of the world than can use them.
I think Russia plans to do it but it needs some floor before it.
If it will start trading with China and India in rubles that will help to stabilise the currency and then can take such step with the West.
But in my opinion what Russia needs to do is to stop all export all trade with the West suddenly. No more gas, no more Uranium, no more palladium, no more niquel, cuprum….
As soon as they do the best it will be. Hit them and hit them hard. European Union will suffer social conflicts that have not been seen in decades.
I am from European Union and this conflicts are already here, prices are intolerable. Russia just need to push and Europe will fall in the anarchy and I will directly blame all this Europeans puppets of the US.
And if Irán, Venezuela, Arabia Saudí and other exporters play the same it will be gorgeous.
Don’t give the Western regime any hope. They are a danger for the humankind
I totally agree with you. Here’s the opinion of an expert.
.
Paul Craig Roberts: Russia needs to convert trade into rubles – and the West will ask for mercy
.
The West has nothing that Russia would badly need, and he, in turn, depends on Russian energy resources and natural resources, economist Paul Craig Roberts said in an interview with Unz Review. Therefore, he offers Russia to transfer settlements with Europe into rubles, and then the West will agree to all Russian conditions.
Washington is ” stupid enough ” to think sanctions could bring Russia to its knees, economist Paul Craig Roberts told the Unz Review. ” For sanctions to have a harmful effect on Russia, bad decisions by Russia itself are needed – such as the Russian Central Bank is now taking .”
According to the expert, the West has nothing that Russia would need, but Western countries depend on Russian energy resources and minerals. “The West will soon beg for mercy and will agree to whatever Russia asks ,” said Paul Craig Roberts.
But Russia, he says, cannot exercise its power over the West because Russian economists and the Central Bank have been ” brainwashed by American neoliberal economists .” They suggested that Russia needs foreign currency for development. ” If you believe that your destiny depends on foreign exchange, then you continue to keep your enemy alive by selling him your strategic assets .”
According to the economist, Washington is now taking advantage of Russia’s targeted actions in Ukraine – ” this gives Washington time to conduct a psychological warfare campaign that would increase hatred of Russia throughout the Western world and all other parts of the world that are available to the Western media .” In fact, Washington is thus trying to secure control over Europe. “ Washington, with the help of presstitutes, takes Russia beyond the bounds of decency, makes Russia inaccessible for cooperation with Europe .”
Therefore, since Russia is struggling with the internal fifth column, Paul Craig Roberts invites her to pay attention to those who advocate cooperation with the West, who “ want to sacrifice Russian sovereignty for the sake of globalism and in order to be part of the West .”
Since Moscow was denied access to foreign capital, the Central Bank of Russia will have to ” do its job ” and finance the country’s internal development. “ Foreign investment in Russia only helps to impoverish the country, since what is earned is transferred abroad, withdrawn from the country. In fact, the sanctions and the blocking of Russian bank deposits are a good reason for Russia to regain ownership of its own resources by nationalizing all foreign investment in Russia .” But Paul Craig Roberts doubts the Kremlin understands this.
At the same time, the economist believes that the Central Bank of Russia raised the key rate to 20% in vain. “The Russian Central Bank is unknowingly serving the West and the success of Western sanctions. Russia needs to bill its energy and minerals in rubles, thus maintaining its own currency, not the currency of enemies, and introduce controls on the exchange to prevent currency speculation , ”suggests Paul Craig Roberts.
Moreover, he refers to the head of the Russian Central Bank, Elvira Nabiullina, as a hostile foreign agent, although he admits that she hardly understands what she is doing. “The Russian Central Bank is subsidizing the success of Western sanctions. It’s mindless ,” Paul Craig Roberts stated in an interview.
The journalist asks him how to explain the fact that the Americans applaud the anti-democratic sanctions against Russia, introduced bypassing any international organization. The economist has an answer: in the US, Canada and Europe there are not enough independent media that would make honest reports. Instead, according to him, the West is transmitting information sent down from the ruling elite.
And, according to him, there are no tribunals and international laws that could be applied against the West. Russia’s mistake is that it is responding to the accusations, although, according to the expert, it is better for it to remain silent and continue to do its job. He notes that it is not necessary to talk about facts with the West, but to draw ” red lines ” and destroy everyone who crosses them. ” Only in this way will Russia put an end to Western provocations, and peace will come to the world .”
According to the journalist, now the same people who protested against racism in the United States are expressing hatred towards the Russians. “ The average person doesn’t have the time, energy, interest, or skill to figure out what’s going on ,” Paul Craig Roberts replies. Therefore, they listen to what the ” presstitutes ” tell them. “ It’s very easy to make Americans hate Russians because they got used to it during the Cold War of the 20th century. Americans are used to the fact that Russians are enemies. The Russian side of history is blocked in the West. So the only information a Westerner gets is official rhetoric ,” concluded economist Paul Craig Roberts in an interview with Unz Review.

Doesn’t appear to be a monetary sovereignty problem in Russia, it appears to be a political recognition problem.
The wrong person showed up at the wrong time and now a world war III seems to be the easy way out from here.
Its a lot work for the wrong person to try to reason logically with a politician or military man when they depend on political destruction to thrive.
Max,
“Russia needs to end the floating of Ruble too. It can’t let its Ruble’s value be defined by markets controlled by its adversaries and traitors.”
big mistake !
You never treat a floating currency like a fixed one.
Weimar learned that the hard way so did Russia when the Soviet union collapsed.
The central bank just decides what transactions to go through.
Simples…
You are so right. When Russia see the light?

Meanwhile in Kev itself life goes on pretty close to normal for a city in a country in the middle of a war: no problems with water, electricity, public transportation, communications, television and even the supermarkets’ functioning. Those living in Kiev are not likely to attribute this to the extraordinary efforts of the Russian army to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure but rather to the success of “resistance.” This can only postpone unnecessarily the inevitable Ukie surrender and increase losses on the Russian side (especially loss of life of valuable commanders who lead from the front, not from the safety of their Florida headquarters as “nashi partniori” do when they wage war). Start at least by knocking out their communication facilities… On the wisdom of this “politeness” I am in full agreement with Paul Craig Roberts.
Why are so many Jews against Russia. I looked at biographies of many anti russian “experts” “putinologists”, “influencers”…
Were Jews ever mass killed in Russia?
I think it’s a simple matter of them being more loyal to their tribe than to Russia. Jewish intellectuals in the 1980s got a free university education in the Soviet Union, then defected to the USA or UK and used that education to spread malicious propaganda against their “homeland.” I don’t know how in good conscience anyone could ever want to do that.
russia riches have dazzled the jews, the germans, the brits, the french…they came incredibly close in the nineties to owning it & cannot fully grasp it has completely slipped out of reach. the hate, the fury is only a small part of the pain…russia, owning russia, was to pay for the grand punch bowl party & to bankroll the next. it never occurred to them russia would rouse herself from their great rape, certainly never to be an adversary let alone a contender. the fury is mixed with disbelief, loss of what was how it was to play out, & bewilderment—they couldn’t’ve gotten it wrong? the wealth is after all theirs by right of their desire & desperate slathering coveting. very like the brits still thinking/imagining/wishing iranian oil to be british. delusion…there must be a book as on grief describing its stages.
This is just my take: they feel they have given so much to the progress of Russia, they deserve more at the table. Some kind of “manifest destiny” if you can call it that
Then there’s the old legend of the khazarian kingdom and there’s nothing semitic about it, just opportunistic
And finally, they really believe they know more than the pagan russians on what’s good and what’s not, so, they want to be ones to own everything and trade everything with their deep millenium old networks across the world
In essence, they aint’ stopping till it’s all theirs one way or the other
Remember the old jewish adage: “possession is 90% ownership”, they will first get it somehow and finally own it
This was posted by several other commentators recently: https://biblicisminstitute.wordpress.com/2015/03/17/the-truth-about-the-conflict-with-russia/
In short, they hate Russia and wish to erase it for historical reasons (revenge for ending Ancient Khazaria; periodic ostracism/separation to Settlement of Pale..) and in last three centuries for defending their land and resources from looting and dismemberment.
AFAIK, no Jews were mass killed in recent Russian history. In fact the reverse is glaringly obvious, when you factor in who funded/armed/brainwashed/otherwise supported and launched the invasions of Napoleon, Bolsheviks, Hitler and even the UkroNazis to the current moment.
“𝙒𝙚 𝙅𝙚𝙬𝙨, 𝙬𝙚, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙮𝙚𝙧𝙨, 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙮𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧.” – 𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙎𝙖𝙢𝙪𝙚𝙡
Reality: “Live by the sword, die by the sword”
I have that book. It also says there somewhere from what I can remember that if the jews keep on acting like they are, that they will suffer very bad consequences. And the book was written some years before WW2. A prophetic warning.
Yes, and a warning history tells us they have failed to heed repeatedly over time.
You cannot fix stupid
@A.H.H: “no Jews were mass killed in recent Russian history. In fact the reverse is glaringly obvious”
You can add to your list the millions of Gentile Russians killed and the Christian Churches destroyed by Jewish Bolsheviks; see “200 Years Among Us” by Solzhenitsyn.
Just has a search for it online. One site described it as the most banned book in the world, another had a load of chapters missing, but I found this one,:

Robert Conquest at the heart of the myths (a former agent in the disinformation department of the British Secret Service, the Information Research Department (IRD). Conquest’s ‘work’ there was to contribute to the so-called ‘black history’ of the Soviet Union fake stories put out as fact and distributed among journalists and others able to influence public opinion. This was routine in several major British newspapers, such as the Financial Times, The Times, Economist, Daily Mail, Daily Mirror, The Express, The Guardian.)

Let us learn from history
Jews [Khazars. Gog is the name of a great ruler of the Kingdom of Khazaria] is GOG, i.e the collective West they control, and Magog is Russia [bible says Magog is situated in Southern Russia, in the Caucusus]. The former are destined to plunge the entire world into bloodshed, chaos, and war. Ezekiel 38-39. How it enda and the aftermath is anyone’s guess.
Yes. I learned of it as the Chemelnitsky Pogrom around 1650. In the history I read, 250,000 Jews were slain.
Here is a wiki link that places the event in a larger context, though it’s poorly sourced. It gives a conservative estimate of 56,000 Jews killed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khmelnytsky_Uprising.
The Bolsheviks were by and large Jews. The have a deep seated genetic racial hatred for Slavic Christians. Search the net, there is lots of info on what was done to the Christians under the Bolshevik Jews, especially the priests. I read one account and thought it was fiction and had to re-read it again to make sure, I could not believe that humans could be so evil. When I realized it was true it almost made me sick and I am seeing the same thing in Mariople now. The goals of Jews and Nazis are the same, extermination of the Slavic people.
by and large all communists were Jews. even in the US the communist movement was all by the Jews. infact the code for jews was communists in USA and when Joe McC said communist scare he meant more than russians
the democratic party of the USA is communist socialist hybrid, and you saw it in action during covid in the democratic states that showed the power of the state on the people
they want that to be permanent where the few at the top 0.1% control the rest
and you will one thing in common across all these facets of operation
Not in soviet times in fact the Soviets dragged them out of the extermination camps such as Sobobor and Treblinka and Auschwitz,some thanks they have had from some people.
Correction: Work camps.
There was a court case in Tel Aviv regarding John Demjanjuk
Treblinka II (1 mill exterminated)
Judge:
– Do you have any proof of the existence of camp?
– Honored Judge, no such proof exist
– What about some Jewish artifacts that would survive burning?
– No, nothing of that kind
– What about some German documents?
– No, sorry
– What do you have then?
– Nothing
– And you want a prison wardener in Treblinka II to be convicted for crimes?
– Yes
– Who says he worked in some other camp, and has never been in Treblinka?
– He is lying
John Demjanjuk could leave Israel as a free man
“Why are so many Jews against Russia [?]”
Put simply, because Satan.
According to Rabbi Louis Finkelstein:
“Judaism. Pharisaism became Talmudism, Talmudism became Medieval Rabbinism, and Medieval Rabbinism became Modern Rabbinism. But throughout these changes of name, inevitable adaptation of custom, and adjustment of Law, the spirit of the ancient Pharisee survives unaltered”
…
When the Jew reads his prayers, he is reciting formulae prepared by pre-Maccabean scholars; when he dons the cloak prescribed for the Day of Atonement and Passover Eve, he is wearing the festival garment of ancient Jerusalem; when he studies the Talmud, he is actually repeating the arguments used in the Palestinian academies.
Nor is it merely the outer accoutrements of Pharisaism which have survived in his life; the spirit of the doctrine has remained quick and vital.”
So Rabbi Finklestein establishes that Jews are the spiritual heirs of the Pharisees.
And what did Jesus say to the Pharisees?
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
So Jews are apparently “of…the devil.”
With this in mind, consider the text of Rev 17:8:
“The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.”
If John was on the Island of Patmos in 95 AD or something like that, as most Biblical scholars apparently believe (which would be about 20 years after the destruction of the temple), the Pharisees would be defunct at that time, and there were no Jews in 95 AD, so this may offer an explanation of what the angel meant by phrase: “…the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.”
IOW “the beast that was, and is not” apparently refers to the Pharisees, defunct in 95 AD but whose Satanic spirit still exists – and which would re-emerge later in organized Jewry.
So this is more evidence as to the identity of the first beast of Rev 13 (the beast from the sea), and the beast, being Satan’s agent in the physical realm, must apparently pursue the agenda set forth in Isaiah 14:13,14, which means that the beast must corrupt or destroy mighty Russia.
Good luck with that task, Satanic beast.
Correction and addition to my earlier comment:
95 AD would be about 25 years after the destruction of the temple, not 20.
And the quoted statements can be found on page xxi of the Forward to the First Edition of Finkelstein’s book “The Pharisees, The Sociological Background of Their Faith” (The Jewish Publication Society of America, 1938).
@ Harold Smith
Your wisdom is unsurpassed and comes only from the most high, divine Almighty Our Father God!
You know that demons are real and the Divine gave me the power to see them whom are many and living within those who hold hatred and jesouly.
Your knowledge always comes with proof as does mine so the masses have no excuse to which path they take as this is the final Conflict of Good v Evil and millions are going to face death now and near future whom have taken the vaccine bio weapon, chem trails bio weapon, 5g micro radiation, wars, Famine etc.
I would like to know you better if OK and keep in touch to share my experience with the most high if saker accepts this, so could you send me an email to gwelsh@yandex.com.
Greetings Harold from Scotland.
Thanks for the kind words.
I wanted to know what the angel meant by that phrase and I was subsequently led to certain things – like Rabbi Finkelstein’s book – and I believe this couldn’t have been a coincidence; so yes, I think you’re right that it came from above.
I’ll email you with a few additional thoughts on this subject.
Warmest regards,
Harold
Well, the Bible was written by Jews for Jews. Outside the English language, the term, Jew, comes from the Greek word, Ιουδαιος, which means Judah. Why would all languages place the origin of Jew to be Judah, and not Israel? Only when I studied the Bible extensively did I learn the significance. The Jews of today are descended from Judah, not Israel.
Nehemiah 8:9
“And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.”
“the people” so referred were the remnants of the true Israel. “the law” refers to the law of Judah. The people wept not for joy.
To understand the world today, one must comprehend the true significance of a single verse:
Deuteronomy 23:20
” 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: thy God; thine hand; the land; possess it.

They [the Askenazi, turks who converted to Judaism and had a kingdom called Khazaria] think they have a claim to Ukraine since most of it was under their rule when Khazaria existed. The Rus came and kicked them out and set up Kiev and had several wars vs the Khazarians wanting it back and ended up utterly defeated that the Rus put Khazaria off the map and it ceased to exist, leaving them as wanderers throughout Europe. They never forgot nor forgave Russia for it. And Russia has done it again. Maybe, like the last time, they defeat them – again – and put them off the map – again – and make them wanderers and parriahs – once again.

Here (https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1505309631542931459.html) are some videos showing ukrobeasts abusing their own people.
Where does this sick sadism in Ukraine come from? The stripping of peoples’ clothes and using plastic to wrap the victims to telephone poles and leaving them to be beaten and tortured, raped, etc.. is very widespread, there are endless images of it occurring in Ukraine right now. Is it a holdover from WWII?
UPA meets CIA
Who the hell are the victims of this depravity and who does it?is it just mob rule?
This is a consequence of the peasant culture of Ukrainians. This was how thieves were treated in villages before culture was established and the police appeared. And horse thieves tied a stone around their necks and drowned.

there is loads of it, I don’t speak the language, I can’t understand the signs or what is being said, in some vids there are people in uniform taping people to trees or signposts,
I’ve not seen anyone being released by the authorities, it seems the authorities are actually perpetrating these acts,
can anyone translate and explain the issues involved?
is it summary punishment for crime, i.e. petty thefts, or is it aimed at Russian speakers, Roma, or people not wishing to join up to fight?
there also seems to be an issue with refugees defacing war memorials in the country they’ve fled to, spraying them Blue/yellow and co-opting them to represent the Ukrainian conflict,
what’s going on inside the Ukraine is pretty bizarre but when it spreads outside it’s borders through the refugee diaspora it’s going to really piss off a lot of people,
I’ve seen clips of refugees being pretty obnoxious in Poland, larking around in shops, insulting people they percieve as ‘Russian’
the youth seem heavily indoctrinated, they’ve been through youth movements along the line of Hitler Youth,
one guy who had got out of Mariopol said he’d been talking to one of these crazy kids about nationalism and asked him if he remembered how it all started, the kid replied ‘no, I was only 11 at the time’
the Western MSM is going to look pretty stupid once this stuff gets out, you can’t whitewash this sort of behaviour forever.
Danish DR news claim that more than 7000 Russian soldiers died, and up to 37000 are wounded.
Yes and Moscow is surrounded and Putin is negotiating surrender to Zelensky.
Wouldn’t you expect some kind of rebuttal from an official source of Russia, if this number was very off? I’m speaking mostly about the Ukrainian claim which is even higher, this has also been spread around a lot.
To this day I haven’t seen much official rebuttal. But MoD is doing a lot on other things/events they feel are getting wrongly portrayed in Western media – like Theater of Mariopol, shopping center Kiev, that sort of thing.
Hopefully Stoltenberg, Biden, Blinken and the rest will pay in some way. Especially, Biden who is in this up to his neck. Hopefully others go the Beowulf blood feud route.
complete fake b.s.
Danish state media is a full fledged NATO propaganda institution so no surprise there. This generally goes for all Scandinavian corporate media.
On a side note, I recall sometime 10-15 years ago when they started to turn up the hate gauge towards Russia. It was fascinating as it was very noticeable. Literally overnight everything Russian was portrayed in a bad light and positive Russian news stopped appearing. Even the sport pages where infested with this.
I didn’t think much of it at the time but later attributed it to NATO CENTCOM which coordinated a lot of this propaganda.
@Jonas: “Literally overnight everything Russian was portrayed in a bad light and positive Russian news stopped appearing. Even the sport pages ”
Coincidence? Yesterday I remembered Roosevelt’s epigram: “Politics looks chaotic but nothing in politics occurs by chance, everything is planned”.
Ukrinform says they killed more than 15000 Russians and took out 40% of Russian armies. Ridiculous.
With regard to understanding the current pervasive neonazi presence and activity Ukraine (including) the support of Zelensky, a Jew, it might be informative to review some history:
As result of the 1916 Sykes-Picot agreement, Britain obtained essential control of the portion of Palestine that Zionists wanted to claim as Israel. Prior to, and into WWII, the Zionist/ Lehi/Gang of Stern allied themselves with Hitler against Britain in the belief that they would receive this portion of Palestine in exchange for this. Even after WWII Lehi was still active against Britain (1944 Lord Moyne assassination, 1947Truck bombing of British police station in Haifa, etc). On May 29, 1948, shortly after Israel was founded on May 14 of 1948 Lehi was disbanded and absorbed/morphed into Likud (founded by Menachem Begin and Ariel Sharon), the current dominant ruling party in Israel, however Lehi still continued to function independently outside of government control. How much of the Lehi extreme-right “Master Race” philosophy persists in current Zionism is open to question, particularly in light of Zelensky’s tolerance/espousal of the significant Azov Battalion/Banderist movement in Ukraine and current Ukrainian political hierarchy.
Note particularly that Zionism is a political movement, and is absolutely not the same as or to be equated with Judaism.
Judaism is a concept as a religion unique and its appearance is in political thought and the original essence comes from the Deuteronomy which is a complete political program.
Likud is a secular party, The Orthodox are exempted from serving in zionist army
The clash between Russia and the West (who use Ukraine as a pretext) seems at times like a clash between a long gone European civilization (represented by Russia) and a globalist power that has successfully killed the last moral vestiges of the European civilization (which was not perfect but still possessed “values”).
This is in evidence in the strenuous efforts of the Russian military operation not only to avoid civilian casualties but also to spare civilian infrastructures, while the Ukrainian mercenaries, para- and ostensibly military mine roads, explode buildings with human shield hostages in them and instigate assassinations.
“English gentlemen, you shoot first!” (« Messieurs les Anglais, tirez les premiers ! »)— is the famous phrase associated with the battle of Fontenoy, on 5/11/1745 between an English (allied with Austrian and Dutch) army led by William of Cumberland and a French army led by Maurice de Saxe. Allegedly (and as also described by Voltaire), the two commanders facing each other first respectfully saluted each other by doffing their hats and then Cumberland chivalrously invited the French to shoot first. De Saxe declined inviting the English to shoot first.
Russia, this is not 1745, it is 2022, and the puppeteers of Ukraine have been shooting first for too long!
Some of my observations tangently related to the war in Ukraine:
It is time for the Empire to die:
“We love to sneer at Russia for having “an economy the size of Texas.” Someone tell me how a country can have 140 million people, be the world’s largest wheat, fertilizer, and weapons exporter, supply rockets for every other existing space program as well as their own, and still be “smaller” than one American state? Good, I’m glad the world economy is based on facts and isn’t just pseudoscience we made up. What if… maybe… the value of the dollar, the world’s reserve currency, is set artificially high, and our competitors’ currencies are forced artificially low, then we skew the numbers even more by printing as many dollars as we want with absolutely nothing backing it up? Nah, couldn’t be! Did you know that as of 2020, American banks are not even required to have the money they loan to people? So the dollar is largely based on debt, and much of that debt is based on money that literally did not exist to begin with, but surely this is a fair and accurate system for gauging the “size” of the world’s economies, right?”

#CancelRussia and the Rise of Global Nazism:
Remember all of those people who wore masks for the past two years and called for all unvaccinated humans to be rounded up into camps? Well surprise, surprise, nazism is back in vogue and they don’t need to use euphemisms anymore.
Dostoevsky canceled, Yuri Gagarin canceled… the University of Florida even canceled Karl Marx (Is that because Americans think Russia is still communist, or is it because they think Marx was Russian? Or both?).
The Twitter mafia are even more obnoxious than usual, with #cancelrussia trending on Twitter, with users openly calling for genocide, and entire accounts dedicated to encouraging cyber crime against Russian companies – all out in the open, and for some reason does not violate Twitter rules. Facebook took things a step further and modified their famous “community standards” – it is now okay to praise nazis (as long as it’s the “good ones”) and call for violence against Russians.
https://readingjunkie.com/2022/03/20/cancelrussia-and-the-rise-of-global-nazism/
The ‘economy size of Texas’ thing is complete fake b.s. That calculation is based on taking Russia’s economy and incorrectly converting it to USD to get a nominal GDP priced in USD’s. Why would you do that (rhetorical)? Russia doesn’t use USD, it uses Ruble. So the point being, the only valid metric for Russian economy is via its own Ruble which is done in GDP PPP. And in that rating, Russia is roughly #5 in the world.
By the way, how many people here knew that 70% of America’s vaunted “GDP” is all “consumer spending”?
This is a fact.
https://www.mic.com/articles/15097/us-gdp-is-70-percent-personal-consumption-inside-the-numbers
So the so called ‘most powerful’ economy is actually fake figures just based on luxury goods people buy rather than any productive capability of the industries? What a farce.
Der Dollar is not high, it is just a lot of bullshit that is added to the gross domestic product. People selling financial products to each other….
One of the things that Americans don’t understand is value. In Southern California where I’m at, a person working at Walmart gets almost $20 and hour. That’s $40k per year, for 40 hours of low skilled work per week. If you take that $40k per year to most countries in the world, it would pay the salary of a college professor, or a scientist.
In most countries, if you had $100k, you would open up a business. In China, maybe you would start to manufacture kitchen utensils or something. After 10 years, you may be supplying your product to countries all around the world. In the US, if you had $100k, you would try to leverage it to buy a million dollar house with the expectation that it would go up in price. In a year, you would have tripled your initial $100k if the house value goes up to $1.2m. And you did nothing but make payments on the house and live in it for a year.
Americans believe we’re rich, but we create no value for the money. We do generate some value, like high tech, but most of the real tech has degraded (Boeing, aerospace), and the rest are often just serving ads or collecting data.

A few days ago I argued that Ukraine is for World War III what Poland was for World War II:

Once upon a time, stop me if you’ve heard this story before, Anglo diplomats surveyed the ruins of a fallen empire, and hatched a nefarious plan. They insisted on the creation of a militaristic right-wing pseudostate, with borders drawn up in a way that would be deliberately provocative to her neighbors. Then the Western powers all swore that this weird artificial state had inviolable sovereignty and signed unenforceable mutual defense pacts with her. Just creating this imaginary country was a weird and stupid idea, and that decision was made even more weird and stupid by the following mutual defense agreements. Even a small border dispute would immediately and inevitably erupt into a world war, and of course that’s exactly what happened.
If you think I’m talking about 1991 Ukraine, you are correct, but also not correct. I’m talking about 1919 Poland.
Let’s talk about the notorious Molotov-Ribbentrop protocols, Russia’s “moral failure” that the entire western media has spent the last 80 years whining about. I’m not going to go into extreme detail now, so if you want to read more, browse the post I wrote here. But why do we whine about the Soviet Union “allying” with Hitler, but not everyone else? I have some ideas, for now, consider these basic, indisputable facts.

As an American I just want to say if and when destruction comes to our country all of us Americans will surly deserve it. What a sorry group we as a people are. Just heard on radio the local churches doing a freakin bake sale for the poor victims of the Ukraine. Listening to a church radio station Sunday while driving tbey filth fools are spewing the same rabid filth about big bad Russia as the filthy jews media. I can not stand it. Our country is a cease pool of filth and so many love it.
I dont know about a yone else but I pray and pray America get invovles militarily. No I don’t wa t war only a fool would wish tnat but we as a people need it, need to suffer to atleast have any hope of healing. God forgive me but all these Christian do gooders need to wake up.
I am in agreement with you. I understand your sentiment. In addition, also in PA.
Ditto…but in South Jersey
I feel sorry for Pennsylvanians with that hideous Jew dictator “Rachel Levine”. So many have suffered and died from its policies. Don’t take any of the injections pushed by these hideous creatures like that.
Oh Dear God No. It’s been promoted. It’s now a United States Assistant Secretary for Health. It can govern over everyone now.
The same in Germany. I hate it to be a German and an European. My home is there where I live in freedom. Will be go to russian country in May…Ural.
What do you think is the probability of Russia going bankrupt? I want to transfer a large sum of money, if at all possible.
Here in the West, all we hear is that Russia will soon go bankrupt.

“Warning comes as EU prepares to consider placing embargo on Russian crude
Oil prices will jump to $300 a barrel if the West abandons Russian oil, the country’s Deputy Prime Minister and former energy minister Alexander Novak said on Monday, adding that “some see it possibly reaching $500 a barrel.”

Oil prices have risen by nearly $4 a barrel on Monday, with global benchmark Brent exceeding $112 by midday GMT, on expectations that the European Union might join the United States in banning imports of Russian crude.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, meanwhile, has called such an embargo “unrealistic,” pointing out that EU countries still heavily depend on Russian oil and gas and cannot simply cut themselves off on short notice.
“Too many refineries in the eastern and western part of Europe still completely depend on Russian oil and with gas it’s even worse,” Reuters quoted Rutte on Monday as having said, ahead of the expected debate by EU foreign and defense ministers in Brussels.”

“Hamburg police reported that 250 vehicles took over roads, with banners demanding “fair diesel prices”
A convoy of truckers deliberately blocked traffic in Hamburg, Germany over the weekend, as part of a protest against high fuel prices. Police reported that around 250 vehicles were involved in the demonstration, while the hauliers disputed the figure, claiming up to 350 vehicles took part.
Banners attached to the trucks declared “Systemically relevant truckers need fair diesel prices” and “Diesel rip-off: Without us, this country would be on the ground,” as the truckers moved from Hamburg-Allermohe towards the city center.
The protests created traffic delays for a second weekend in a row, with a protest the previous weekend having seen 500 participants moving through the city to create chaos on the roads.
The German Fishing Association also claimed on Tuesday that 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙡 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙙𝙤𝙪𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙙 in recent weeks.

Fuel costs have increased in Germany and in other Western nations in recent weeks following Russia’s military assault on Ukraine.

“After a barrage of attacks on its oil facilities, the kingdom says low supply and high prices aren’t its fault
Saudi Arabia declared on Monday that it “won’t bear any responsibility” for surging oil prices or contracting supply following 𝙖 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙖 𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨 by Houthi rebels a day earlier.
In a statement acknowledging that the attacks could have “serious consequences” for energy markets already reeling from the conflict in Ukraine, the kingdom called on the international community to oppose the Houthis for the sake of safeguarding the world’s oil supply.
“The kingdom stresses the importance of the international community realizing the gravity of Iran’s continued behavior of equipping the terrorist Houthi militias with the technology… [to] target the kingdom’s production sites,” the statement by the Saudi Foreign Ministry read.
Members of the Houthi rebel movement struck facilities belonging to the Yanbu Aramco Sinopec Refining Company – a joint venture between Saudi Aramco and 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙖 𝙋𝙚𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝘾𝙤𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 (𝙎𝙞𝙣𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙘) – and other energy companies with drone and missile strikes on Sunday, causing no immediately reported casualties but leading to a “temporary reduction” in output, according to the Saudi Ministry of Energy.
Saudi Arabia has been waging war against the Houthis in Yemen since 2015. The conflict has been described by the UN as the “world’s worst humanitarian crisis,” and has resulted in the deaths of 377,000 people, more than two-thirds under the age of five, per UN figures at the end of 2021. It is often seen as a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia, due to Iran’s backing of the Houthis. Tehran denies arming the rebels, however.
Attacks like those on Sunday represent “a direct threat to the security of oil supplies in these extremely sensitive circumstances witnessed by the global energy markets,” the Saudi statement continued.
Global energy markets have already responded with shock and volatility to the conflict in Ukraine, with US gas prices reaching a historic record of $4.33 per gallon earlier this month, and settling to $4.25 on Monday, according to the American Automobile Association. Brent Crude Oil is currently trading at around $112 a barrel, down from a nearly $140 earlier this month but still around $15 higher than before the outbreak of hostilities.
Decisions by the US and UK to ban Russian energy imports have also put tremendous pressure on the market, compounded by the Biden administration’s reluctance to grant drilling permits in the US and refusal to allow the completion of the Keystone XL pipeline.
Against this background, the US has urged the Saudi Arabian-led OPEC bloc to pump more oil, something that OPEC has thus far refused to do. The US, however, has recently stepped up supplies of missile interceptor batteries to Saudi Arabia to safeguard its facilities from future attacks, officials told AP.”
The last story appears to be a prompt response to the mooted PetroYuan.. note it was a Chinese-Saudi refinery which was hit.. Also stopping Persian Gulf oil will be essential to collapsing global economy for the satanic BBB Great Reset..
Are you ready to live au naturel (not the nude one!!)?

When Halliburton and Schlumberger left Venezuela it took some time after 6 month and there decline of oil delivery became a huge problem, imagine what is going to happen in Russia, there will be not enough oil to deliver to as well China as well the west. Expect prices over 500 dollar for the WEST.
Cheers
with US gas prices reaching a historic record of $4.33 per gallon earlier this month, and settling to $4.25 on Monday,
We Californias laugh at this crap and ask “First timers?”. Seriously, we’ve had this for years. I’m sure vetinLA will speak up about it being 7 and 8 dollars a gallon there. My last fill up was 5.19.
Smoothie just uploaded a video discussing at length the implications of current Western moves to exclude Russian oil & gas from the market.. He discussed famine a few days ago. Now he is flabbergasted at Novak’s prognostication of $3-500 oil mass suicide in motion.
He uses the metaphor of Hitler in the Spring of 1945 Berlin bunker, waiting for Wunderwaffe to turn the tide. Is the entire West currently hell-bent on this scorched-earth false hope, like the fanatic desperate to escape consequences and preparing to enter the promised gates of his Valhalla?

It all happens so slowly that no snowflake feels responsible for the avalanche, this is during a time of covid outbreaks in China and a slowing of their domestic oil use.
As life returns to normal in China in a year or so, so will the consumption, its going to be a slow drag upwards to who knows where and at what cost economically.
The politician and a whole host of political preditors industries are going to held responsible for the carnage the future will surely bring.
I can barely believe it. Western MSM and US and Euro governments are treating the Azov Battalion as “the good guys.” Think about it: Azov Battalion. The ethno-chauvinist fascists. The racists. The neo-Nazis. The criminals. All of this is well established about Azov.
Yet, even so, the Western World is so warped it speaks of Azov Battalion as if they are heroes.
Go figure.
Remember the KLA. NATO loved them too.
Well, the “good guys” funded the NAZIs during WW2. Nothing has changed since.
They’ve had Americans proud to support Al Qaeda in recent years, so this is nothing new.
And yep, the Bush family has their own Dept of Justice order telling them to cease and desist from ‘trading with the enemy’ in 1943. (see Prescott Bush and a wealthy Hitler supporter named Herbert Walker, and yep, the former President’s full name is George Herbert Walker Bush)
After the war, the CIA worked hard to make sure the former resistance fighters against Nazism were forbidden from power because of their suspect leftist sympathies. Some of the elections where the Americans committed foreign interference with democracy were from this time. Instead, the result was what John LeCarre referred to in his cold war spy novels set in Germany as to how the same grey men who ran the factories in the 40’s were still in charge in Germany into the 1950’s and 60’s.

I’m sorry, I have to bring this up..This article about the head of the military medical service calling for the castration of the Russian soldiers made me feel literally sick. It was the first thing I read this morning. Now he’s denying it stating it was an emotional outburst and it isn’t true. At least since this twisted creature said it out loud for the world to hear this likely will not happen.
Too bad you SICK SON OF A BITCH! He did mean it. It is typical of his tribe. Their resentment and hatred is repulsive. That is even too kind. I hope Russia has put the word out that if they touch even one hair on their soldiers heads they will cease to breathe air. He, is a dead man walking. God willing.
Yes like the other Nazi creature who called for the mass murder of Russian children,quoting Adolf Eichmann.
Vile. I can’t express the pure hatred I feel for these monsters.
I have no doubt he meant what he said, and it’s happening. The morally depraved cheer it on as if there is ever justification for it.
These actions, the support, it has dropped a veil here in the West. Those of us that see clearly can now truly see the lost ones without their mask of politeness.
Today I see the grotesque for who they are.
I’m glad he’s denied it. Emotional responses in the fog of war get carried away. The Ukrainians and Russians are not supposed to be enemies like this.
Ukronazis are hiding MLRS launchers in shopping centers, the Russians found the location, pinpointed a strike,
bye-bye MLRS. Ukronazis are crying the Russians are attacking “even shopping centers.” See pictures and read the twits (Yandex image translator) blaming those who are taking pics of the launchers and posting them online.
https://colonelcassad.livejournal.com/7508009.html
In fact, they simply identified the firing position of the MLRS “Grad” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and destroyed it. There was also a BC for the “Peonies”.
At the link https://t.me/boris_rozhin/34883 there is a video where you can see how mlrs work near the shopping center. Someone removed from his floor and posted it on TikTok. Banderlogs are hysterical and demand not to post such a thing, as this understandably speeds up the destruction of such wandering around the city “Grads”, and also destroys the propaganda picture with a banderlog.
It is no coincidence that in Odessa they threaten to give 10-15 years in prison to those who shoot such a thing. The Führer knows better who is shelling peaceful shopping centers.

These bastards and poor slobs over in Ukraine are so bloody desperate. The US and their cohorts are really dumb but so evil and that’s what makes them dangerous. I wrote last week that I hoped Russia would step up it’s pace but when reading accounts and stories I feel tremendous sorrow. It’s necessary to fight and kill the beast but it’s incredibly sad. Ever grateful to Russia and their brave men and that goes for Chechens, anyone who is helping, but war is an ugly business. I’m deeply upset.
Victory for Russia!!!!
So with more and more protests in EU countries against the effects of the anti-Russian sanctions, what can we expect from the ‘civilized west?’

Bravery and stupidity! British mercenaries aimed missiles at the Yavorsky training ground‼️
According to The Telegraph , British mercenaries revealed their location using personal mobile communications. After Russian intelligence received this information, 30 Kalibr missiles hit the Yavorsky training ground.
In the hours before the strike, surveillance equipment recorded between 12 and 14 telephone numbers beginning with +44 (UK dialing code).
According to official figures, at least 35 mercenaries, including three former British special forces soldiers, were eliminated as a result of a strike with precision-guided weapons on March 13.

The mistake of the honest person is to assume the others only exaggerate. But that is not the case. The dishonest person just outright lies. Thinking that there is a few percent truth in it is wrong. Like with marketing. Do not choose the one that promises the most, because he is just the one lying the most.
The US sources estimate that …….spot the mistake! )
“The great masses of the people in the very bottom of their hearts tend to be corrupted rather than consciously and purposely evil … therefore, in view of the primitive simplicity of their minds, they more easily fall a victim to a big lie than to a little one, since they themselves lie in little things, but would be ashamed of lies that were too big”.
– Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf (Houghton Mifflin Co., Boston, 1971; original version 1925), Vol. 1, chapter 10, p.231
I smell a troll here…nothing that you have written corresponds to reality…
The Russian intervention continues as planned and will not stop until all objectives are met.
Any slower pace is due to thorough house to house attrition of the enemy with the aim of minimizing civilian casualties …they are not “just shelling and bombing cities” but pinpointing and targeting the locations of military units…many of which happen to be within cities.
Russian forces are rotated after a time or after intense combat phases and reserves are available as required. Early reports were of the order of 100,000 Russian soldiers involved in the Deep-Clean activity…now the talk is of 200,000 men being actively involved…and this is a fraction of the manpower that is held in reserve in case NATO tries any mischief.
Based on initial operational reports and activities to date, the figure of KIA is not more than 2500 at the max.
Russia entered the war with a lower ratio of men than military practice usually dictates – others have explained this in far better detail on this website. The difference they bring to bear is higher levels of skillsets than their opponents involving better tactics, higher levels of equipment plus more functionality of the equipment.
Sure, mistakes have been made and it sadly resulted in loss of life but relative to the ultimate aim, the pace of reaching these objectives has been fast and working to plan.
If you feel strong emotions from news or analytics, then this is propaganda or disinformation.
There was no “Shoigu decree”. In Russia, all 18-year-old men are subject to conscription for 1 year (with the exception of sick and exempt from conscription for other reasons). The call-up takes place twice a year, in spring and autumn. This has been happening since the times of the USSR, which would have turned 100 years old this year, only the terms of compulsory service changed. And all these years, an order has been issued twice a year to recruit recruits to the army for training. Also, all these years, orders have been issued periodically to call up reservists for training camps. But the basis of the Russian army is made up of professional military personnel who sign a contract for service. They are now conducting an operation in Ukraine together with other also professional military from the Russian Guard and police officers.

If you are in the Ukrainian army, hand over your weapons and move to a safe place (if you can’t find it on the territory of the country, emigrate to the EU, Russia or Belarus).
If you are in Ukraine, but not in the Ukrainian army, move to a safe place – to a rural area or a small town, which the crazy bloody puppet pseudo-government of Ukraine cannot turn into a reservation with hostages like Mariupol or the Syrian Raqqa. If you can’t find it on the territory of the country, emigrate to the EU, Russia or Belarus.
We have seen many ex Russian Jews driving anti Russia sentiment in MSM.
Bur Israel seemingly has different position.
So I think it is wrong to say that all Jews are against Russia?
Of course “Israel” is just posturing. The Satanic Jewish collective hates Christian Russia.

2. There are 70+ mill khazars in the world.
They compete with Germans, Slav and Chinese
These are very hard to digest. Are these true figures or just an exaggeration?
Nobody gives out true figues during battle.
Some news from Slovenia.
Prime minister Janša is searching for volunteers for a Kiew embassy. Our current ambassador is at home and don’t want to return. He demands that this embassy must reopen. There are two questions. Do Ukrainian government have nothing more important to do that our presence is so urgent there? And second, there should be very dangerous according to our media (all western msm)? Why is so urgent to be there and risk their lifes?
The mayor of our capital has diplomatic passport. But he also has a Russian civil award or decoration. He doesn’t want to return it so he gets no new diplomatic passport. Current is valid only a few more days. Typical cancel culture.
Our prime minister is not happy with our public tv. They report like all the others in the west, but there are also some sentences what Russians are saying about. It’s about 90% of the text Ukrainian side of information and about 10% Russian one, but for our prime minister even this is too much. He is saying that they are a mouthpiece of Russian defence ministry. Strange, I think they are quite the opposite.
Paul Craig Roberts has his own critique for the “special military operation.” He calls it a police action in deprecatory fashion: “By choosing a police action over a war, the Kremlin delivered the civilians into the hands of the Ukrainian neo-Nazis.” Anyone chooses his own term (“war” for me), but to choose “police action” just to make the point it should be more violent, is amazing from a columnist. He went off the deep end on the issue of Covid-19 too.

TOS-1A thermobaric rounds hitting the #Azovstal industrial complex in #Mariupol
https://twitter.com/i/status/1506000910765355010
@ Frank
Well, that’s how they wanted their end to be.
Russians offered them a way out, if they surrendered their weapons, classical Sun Tzu counsel when a city is under siege, to minimize casualties on both sides. Mariupol industrial zone is a maze, Ukronazis expected Russia to fight a la Stalingrad. Well, said the Russians, we have a surprise for you. My guess these thermobaric rounds were a warning to the rest of them, just to show them how they are going to end up, all burned on this realm before they burn in hell.
It is not what the Russians wanted, mind you.
Lone Wolf
Yep, very nice footage, it almost looks fake. But it’s due to the fact that the prosumer DJI drones Azov is using are equipped with super slow mo 120fps+ capabilities which give this cinematic quality beyond the capabilities of actual military UAV’s (which have no need for “cinematic” slow motion as such). So we are seeing the slow motion eruption there and it looks quite different to what we’re used to seeing.
Sadly I saw today Denis Pushilin head of DPR said that the freeing of Mariupol could take still not just days but possibly week++ if not more because the Azov are basically hiding and the door to door scaling of hundreds of block apartments is incredibly painstaking and tedious process. It’s impossible to tell how long the Azov can hold out but unfortunately it could still take a while.
@ Nightvision
That’s impossible to predict, it could be days, it could be weeks, it could be tomorrow. The general assessment is the Ukronazis are isolated, without coordinated C&C, holding on to a desperate situation. This is a typical “Mexican stand-off” and it can go either way when two armies are facing the unknown unknowns. Thermobaric rounds will have an effect on Ukronazis, who have already been ordered to get out by any way possible. Russia/LDNR forces caught a couple of them who killed the parents of some kids to pretend they were their children, fortunately they were caught. They are pretending to be dead in ambulances, mixing up real dead bodies to turn away any search at checkpoints. Some have already been caught disguised as women, a trick the taqfiris used back in Syria/Iraq, where the jalabah and burqa allow for more possibilities to deceive.
My best guess, and given the Russians decided to speed up the process a bit, with a little help from Comrades Khinzal et al, Ukronazis may surrender en mass, or die in a mass suicide, the resolution, however, is not far.
Lone Wolf
Yep. That’s probably why TOS-1 thermobaric was used on them in the Azovstal factory, in order to “help them along” with the decision process. Once you see your comrade’s lungs collapsing and eyeballs popping out from thermobaric effect, you may decide it’s no longer worth it to fight for Hitler’s glory, and may decide to lay down your arms. I assume that’s the psychological effect they’re going for here, we’ll see if it works with speeding up their surrender.
Southfront Day 26 Summary:
https://southfront.org/war-in-ukraine-day-26-era-of-hypersonic-weapons-has-come/
It seems to me the West’s propaganda is designed and directed to crush, destroy and wreck Russia’s accomplishments and true intentions in Ukraine and painting it as losing and growing desperate, in order to inoculate the West’s populations in case the West causes a major false flag operation, thereby making it look like Russia did it out of desperation.
This is particularly dangerous in Ukraine, as having had nuclear weapons in the past, it is possible that there are still nuclear materials around for a Nazi-inspired group like Azov Battalion, C14, Right Sector, Aidar etc. to build a dirty nuclear bomb and detonate it in a NATO country. This will surely be the justification for the US and NATO to intervene with troops, airpower and even a US pre-emptive nuclear strike. It would be easy for any of these Nazi groups to do this since they absolutely hate Russia and the West has shown that its real intention is the annihilation of the Russian State and its current political leadership.
Now, who do you think would help them build it if this were the case?
What country had no qualms about killing hundreds of thousands of human beings with atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
This truly horrifying scenario is possible could really unleash a nuclear conflagration.
“…This will surely be the justification for the US and NATO to intervene with troops, airpower and even a US pre-emptive nuclear strike.”
A false flag to provoke a nuclear war? What for? Is there anything after a nuclear war? I don’t think so. But, your point makes clear just how important it is to end the arms race and an artificial conflict between Russia and the United States. I commend Vladimir Putin for realizing this and always talking about the need for the U.S. and Russia to work together to restore a nuclear balance and disarmament too, and I especially commend (some commenter) him for not putting limits on the nuclear advances (his own) that could be discussed: “Putin said Russia is willing to include its new-generation hypersonic nuclear weapons in the arsenal that his country has proposed freezing during the extension of …” “https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/putin-says…” (cached).
As for a conventional war, a CNN reporter said yesterday that the use of hypersonic weapons was thought to have been intended as a message to the West. She said that these weapons were “5 times faster than the speed of sound” (5 not 10 is what she said), and that the United States did not have these weapons yet. It was a marvel of a blunt report, showing it only takes some personality to report this hugely important news. No, Nelson, I think that actually seeing the hypersonic weapons basically ended the chance of that conventional war in Ukraine.
As I write this, the Japanese TV in the other room is discussing what kinds of chemical weapons Putin plans on using. I take it to mean the faked footage is ready for release, or the battalions think they’ve got some foolproof plan.
More oil and gas issues incoming:
Today (21-03-22) there was a large undersea earthquake (5.1) slap-bang in the middle of the British and Norwegian North Sea oil and gas fields.
This activated the emergency protocols on several rigs drilling for both oil and gas and the complete shutdown of operations on the Snore B drilling platform (35000 barrels of oil per day average extraction).
The shocks of the earthquake were felt hundreds of miles away in Scotland and in Norway.
There seems to be more to this than meets the eye, and I suspect some damage has occured or that production on the rigs where the alarms went off wont instantly go back to full output.
I dont know how long it takes to restart a rig when it has gone through an emergency shut down but I suspect production may be reduced for a while.
Any disruption to supply is not what is needed during a very difficult and sensitive time for oil and gas supplies to Europe, so I expect this issue to vanish from the press asap.
Details from the British Geological Survey:
https://earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk/earthquakes/recent_events/20220321053155.html#page=summary
Interestingly, although the MSM were initially reporting that serious disruptions to oil and gas supply would result from the shutdowns, they are now giving out reasuring promises that all is well and issuing “nothing to see here” type messages in the press such as this “revised” report from Reuters:
https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/equinor-shuts-snorre-b-oil-platform-following-earthquake-e24-2022-03-21/
I’m going to judge politics at the pump, the higher the price, the greater the consequences.
Belarus will not join the war don’t worry,you don’t need to lose sleep over that.
We are standing at an inflection point in history, and there can be no bystanders. Everyone needs to help. Here’s what you can do to turn the tide of the information war against global nazism. And by “help,” I don’t mean vapid “thoughts and prayers.” I’m talking about real, practical things every person reading this can do that will have a meaningful impact in the war.
How YOU can help win the war against nazism

Ukrainian Update # 8
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
It seems the Kremlin still has delusions that there is morality in the West. The Kremlin has appealed to “international structures to make Ukrainian radicals release civilians.” What is the point of such a useless appeal? Why is the Kremlin attributing morality to the enemy that is trying to destroy Russia? Does the Kremlin think it is making a point by putting the West on the spot?
By choosing a police action over a war, the Kremlin delivered the civilians into the hands of the Ukrainian neo-Nazis. Indeed, by refusing action for 8 years, the Kremlin allowed the neo-Nazis to take hold of large parts of Donbass while continuing to shell the areas of Donbass not under their control. If the Kremlin had accepted the Donbass vote 8 years ago to be reunited with Russia like Crimea, the entire problem would have been avoided. Apparently, the Kremlin was dissuaded from the obviously correct decision by the pro-West Atlanticist Integrationists among the intellectual and ruling class, who convinced the Kremlin that it would confirm US propaganda that Putin is intent on restoring the Soviet Empire for so much of an artificial Ukraine created by the Soviets to be reunited with Russia. The entire Ukrainian problem is due to the Atlanticist Integrationists. Why the Kremlin tolerates these agents of the West, and even appoints one of them head of the Russian central bank where she can maximize the effect of sanctions on Russia, is a mystery.
The Russians are also warning that sanctions against Russian oil exports will destabilize markets, drive up oil price, and harm the world economy. It makes no sense for Russia to complain about a higher oil price that would benefit them and seriously harm their enemies. Russia acts against her best interests because Russia has been brainwashed by American neoliberal economists that Russia needs foreign exchange in order to develop the economy. The Russian central bank chief, recently nominated for reappointment by Putin, is the chief Russian expositor of this blatant nonsense. She is the equivalent of 100 NATO divisions arrayed against Russia. It is Russia’s lack of economic sophistication that will destroy her. Because of central bank opposition, Russia won’t nationalize Russian assets of sanctioning countries, but sanctioning countries are now nationalizing Russian assets. The UK announces nationalization of Russia’s Gazprom retail unit. https://www.rt.com/business/552410-uk-nationalizes-gazprom/ Russian mindlessness also serves as a weapon against herself. Germany is purchasing more weapons to send to Ukraine to kill Russian soldiers, and the Kremlin is still selling Germany energy, without which German industry would close down. It makes no sense. Russia should at least turn off the energy until the war is concluded on her terms.
As for Russia’s go-slow war, here is an example of the Ukrainians whose lives the Kremlin is so anxious to save: https://www.rt.com/russia/552367-ukraine-doctor-castrate-prisoners/
In the intervention in Ukraine, the Kremlin chose humanitarian concerns, for which the Kremlin received zero credit, over the opportunity to bring all provocations of Russia to an end. If Russia had destroyed Ukraine, leaving it as a wasteland, the way the US and NATO did to Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan and tried to do to Syria, it would have served as a warning to the Empire of Lies of what awaits the next provocation. Instead, the Kremlin’s humanitarian gesture backfired and gave the West, which controls the narrative, ample time to conduct a psyops campaign that has succeeded in turning the West into a mob full of hatred for Russians. Such hatred foretells more provocations which will eventually end in nuclear war.
Despite the Kremlin’s failure on every other front, Russia, despite its pulled punches, is winning in Ukraine. The US-supported neo-Nazi militia is about driven out of Donbass. In Kiev, Russian paratroopers routed the neo-Nazis and drove them out of the city’s suburbs, capturing their weapons and ammunition. Military bases in Yavoriv in Western Ukraine on the Polish border where US and British personnel were training Ukrainians and where weapons were stored, and nearby Delyatyn, a NATO weapon and fuel storage center, were annihilated by Russian hypersonic missiles. US and British military and intelligence personnel were blown to bits along with the Ukrainians being trained in the use of the US/NATO weapons. The Kremlin made good on its warning that all who interfere in its intervention will be destroyed. Western military incompetence was so total that there was no warning, or ability to intercept, the attack.
Looking at the map, Russian forces have completely cut Ukraine off from the Black Sea. Much, and perhaps all, of the territory can be considered part of Donbass. Unless the Kremlin in another fruitless show of good will gives the territory back to Ukraine, Ukraine is eliminated as a military threat. The reconquest of Donbass has restored the land bridge to Crimea.
Washington continues to rely on its allies among the Atlanticist Integrationists to cancel Russia’s victory in negotiations at war’s end in order to make a good impression and restore relations with the West, a fruitless hope on the part of the Russians. Until Russia deals with its internal traitors, its military victories might mean little. Provocations of Russia will continue and end in nuclear war.
“….Unless the Kremlin in another fruitless show of good will gives the territory back to Ukraine…..”
=> Milosevic gave back territory and ended up in Den Haag
=> Serbia lost Kosovo and souverenity
“….Atlanticist Integrationists to cancel Russia’s victory in negotiations at war’s end in order to make a good impression and restore relation…”
=> Milosevic negotiated and ended up in Den Haar
=> Serbia lost Kosovo and souverenity
“The Kremlin has appealed to “international structures to make Ukrainian radicals release civilians.” What is the point of such a useless appeal? “.
Optics and thinking about the future. By making these offers Russia is showing it wants as little death and destruction as possible. They mean it too, because we saw in Syria how they the honoured the safe passage deals and let the head choppers escape to Idlib. Russia does not want to be queen of the ashes either (GOT reference).
If the jack boot fanatics refuse and Russia has to destroy city blocks to eradicate them, at least Russia can say they tried, plus they tried to avoid so called collateral damage (which may be part of the reason for UKR;s refusal to accept safe passage, i.e., force Russia to destroy people and things and then make memes about it — plus the obvious delaying tactics militarily).
“Refusing action” ??????? -not !!—–eight years ago Russia did not have anywhere even remotely close enough military capability or economic strength to do what it is now doing,
Due in large part to imposed sanctions that led to extreme Russian self-reliance and to the wisdom of Putin, today Russia is in an entirely different position.
During this eight years, Russia’s relationship with China has also matured due to mutual respect, trust and common interests..
Needless to say, this relationship is extremely important for both countries.
Considering that the N battalions like Azov, Aidar, Donbass, C14, and Tornado are funded by oligarchs like Mr K who also funds Mr Z, does that not make these oligarchs legitimate targets for these very fast new flying daggers?
P.S. I doubt Oligarch K is actually in Ukraine. He will be in one of his lairs in the Swiss Alps or the like. My point is that to properly denazify UKR, the people who funded them need to be taken care of, or they will continue to fund these types in whatever UKR becomes when Russia has done what it must (can not cut CIA money so easily though).
Pls remember K funding B @ $50k/month retainer. Is there another corp set up to wash funds thru, still ongoing? Great return on investment.
Recall the creepy (well maybe not for hair-sniffing Ole Joe) comment earlier this week that, “I bet everybody knows somebody, somewhere along the line … in an intimate relationship — what happened was the guy takes a revealing picture of his naked friend, or whatever, in a compromising position and then literally sends blackmail,” Actually Joe, I don’t know anyone like that.
Lord let there be a big reveal soon and some of these criminals face some justice.

Automatic translation:
A kafè with Dostoevsky. Against the wear and tear of modern nihilism
By
Alessandro Gnocchi
March 18, 2022
It is called Kafè Dosto ‘ and it is, as we say today, a space to talk about Dostoevsky and maybe even converse with him, with his life, his thought, his works and his faith. The fundamental intent is to give back to Fëdor Michajlovič the word that these days is not only denied him, but, even worse, changed in meaning and spirit.
Here at Ricognizioni , the idea had been in the air for some time and now it does not become trivial in stigmatizing the censorship of the Bicocca University on the greatest novelist that Providence has given us poor mortals. However, it must be recognized that the news often manifests the signs of the times beyond any hidden intention, today metaphysically so disturbing. The case is known and does not make it possible to summarize it, if not in the conditioned thought that lies at the bottom. Dosto’s fault, as everyone knows by now, is to represent a summit of Russian culture now that the so-called civilized world “one morning / woke up / and found the invader”: Russian, of course, because times change even if the idiots remain. Thus the former ex-public opinion, after having been covidcentric for two years, has now suddenly found itself Ukrainocentric.
This West, crazily waning without even realizing it, is now happily sick with russophobia and sees in Dostoevsky’s censorship a good exercise in muscle awakening for the collective intellectual. He mistakes for a sign of health yet another metastasis of a deeper and darker disease that the great Russian had diagnosed more than a century and a half ago and is called nihilism. But it is not only Dosto’s censors who suffer from it, too many sufferers, too many censors of the censors, jealous guardians of a hairy freedom in charge of granting the word as long as it is said within the networks of the dominant culture.
I am not interested in raging on the poor arguments of the magnificent rector of the Milanese university, or magnificent rector since in these barbaric times it is customary for a woman to say this. I have reached an age where it is understood that the grotesque has no limits except in the infernal abysses where no word has any more meaning. And then, even looking at the horror of the intellect from a distance is never a healthy exercise. Nor do I think it interesting to go into the details of the course on Dostoevsky first denied, then postponed, then granted but only if accompanied by the reading of Ukrainian authors and then taken by the owner elsewhere. We are in the context of the trinariciutismo in his time so well stigmatized by Guareschi that no smallness of intellect can really catch us unprepared.
In presenting Kafè Dosto ‘ , I am more anxious to mention another intellectual sewage, actually coming from the same sewer, but from a deeper, darker and more dangerous branch. I am referring to the hypocritical raised heads of those who overwhelmed the magnificent bicocchiana rector with insults and then explained that Dostoevsky should be read and studied, yes, but as an antidote to a certain idea of Russia and, ça va sans dire, to that villain. of Putin. The culture broth leaves no doubt about the quality of the nut thrown into the cauldron. And it should be noted that, with the exception of a few laudable niches of resistance, the slop is gobbled up voraciously and by unified networks both on the right and on the left in the political, cultural, social and religious fields.
The fruit grown on such mephitic soil revealed itself in a great deal of talk about Dostoevsky in which everyone got caught, especially those who have not read even a page and therefore do not fear ridicule or perjury in making him say as much as he pleases. collective intellectual: that “Dostoevsky is to be read as an antidote to Putin”. Not even Dosto ‘will leave me alone.
Now, I am not saying one of the great novels, because they are long and do not fit in a whatsapp message or in a tweet, but at least the shortest article of a writer’s Diary someone could also have scrolled through it: Bompiani, 1,402 pages divided into pieces even short, 40 euros. As I know, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the current Italian government could be exercised there, which defined the President of the Russian Federation as “worse than an animal” without any significant reaction from the majority, opposition and “civil” society.
Among the pages of the Diary , Dostevskij’s adapters to the sirens of the world and of NATO would come across some surprises. They would discover, for example, how, about the “Slavic question” in vogue in Moscow and Petersburg cultural circles, Fëdor Michajlovič proclaimed the superiority of his land over Western Europe and argued that the latter, in some way, belongs to a common destiny for East and West to be decided on Russian soil.
There is not a single line of Western correctness in Dostoevsky’s work, given that the West has become what it is. But it is precisely in this key that its universality can be grasped, not to be confused with the cosmopolitanism so dear to those who do not go beyond Woody Allen and his crowds. God, orthodox religiosity, the relationship with earth and the world, sin, redemption are incomprehensible themes in the Dostoevsky spirit if they are related to the European waste imbued with rationalism and romanticism, two sides of a single coin.
The same consideration applies to the territorial claims, the history, the future of cities and peoples on which the great Russian talks for a long time and with illuminating depth even today. All arguments difficult to understand for a West born already old and prey to the poor nationalist appetites of which the Italian example is a case of school even in the culture that has rocked it.
More or less in those years Italy, in the bourgeois sentiment embodied by Manzoni, used to say “One of arms, of language, of altar, of memories, of blood and heart” and that was enough for her to aspire to a place in the sun. Meanwhile, in the Diary of him, Dostoevsky hoped for the annexation of Constantinople to Russia in the name of an unequivocal call to universality. In this regard, Armando Torno writes in the introduction that “the desire to annex Constantinople to Russia must be understood as a religious dream and not simply as a political experience. (…) Dostoevsky asks precisely Constantinople in the name of the universality of Russian Christianity ” .
An element so present in his spirit that it led him to respond in this way to those who asked him how his idea of Russia entered into such a metaphysical vision of history:“As guide of Orthodoxy, as protector and conservator of it, a part belongs to it since the time of Ivan III and to indicate which he placed the double-headed Byzantine eagle above the ancient coat of arms of Russia. (…) This right over ancient Zargrad would be understandable and not offensive to the Slavs themselves, jealous of their independence, and even to the Greeks themselves. In this way, the true essence of the political relations that must inevitably arise between Russia and all Orthodox nations, whether Greek or Slavic, would be known. Russia is their protector and perhaps also their guide, but not their ruler; their mother and not their mistress ” .
A few citations are enough to understand how peregrine are the reprimands against Dostoevsky’s censors exhibited in favor of the chamber in the name of a Dostoevsky who does not exist. The paradox of such a grotesque reality lies in the fact that both censors and hairy censors of censors belong to the same world that the Russian writer describes in his novels as the fruit of a nihilism that is already full-blown even if recognized only by great spirits. . Like Fëdor Michajlovič, who had identified and overcome him in abandonment to Christ, or like Nietzsche, who had become his prey by taking him in an attempt to overcome him by entrusting himself to the new man.
No one expects the collective intellectual to study and annotate demons with the acribia and lacerating passion of the German philosopher, but at least throw an eye on them. He would find his creed in the pages where nihilists discuss life, death, God.
Verchovenski, for example, in the highly available edition Oscar Mondadori page 428:“People with superior skills cannot fail to be despotic and have always corrupted more than benefited; they are driven out or suppressed. Cicero’s tongue is cut out, Copernicus’s eyes are gouged out, Shakespeare is stoned (…). Slaves must be equal: without despotism there has still been neither freedom nor equality. (…) The thirst for education is an aristocratic thirst. As soon as family or love arises, there is already the desire for property. We will make the desire die: we will spread the hangover, the gossip, the denunciations; we will spread an unprecedented corruption, we will extinguish every genius in the swaddling clothes. All in the same denominator, perfect equality. (…) Full obedience, complete absence of personality,
The collective intellectual, hairy defender of Dostoevsky, will hardly be able to say that this is not the Western way of life to which he has devoted himself and in which he wallows so well since everything is allowed. He cannot say it, he who is the spiritual son of the theoretical Kirillov of metaphysical suicide as the ultimate expedient to replace God. Same work and same edition, page 116: “Whoever wants supreme freedom must have the courage to kill himself. (…) Beyond there is no freedom; here is everything and beyond there is nothing. Whoever has the courage to kill himself, that is God. Now everyone can make sure that there is no longer God and that there is nothing more ” .
To be the presentation of an initiative as important and exciting as the reflection on the figure of Dostoevsky, it seems to me that I have drawn it too long. But I think it is important to honestly explain what we will try to offer to those who follow us.
So, it’s called Kafè Dosto ‘ and now we have opened it. In reading and writing it is accessible to all friends of Ricognizioni: editors, collaborators and readers with a thought that has nothing collective. You enter without a green pass.

Italian Original post:
Un kafè con Dostoevskij. Contro il logorìo del nichilismo moderno – Ricognizioni
Si chiama Kafè Dosto’ ed è, come si usa dire oggi, uno spazio per parlare di Dostoevskij e magari anche conversare con lui, con la sua vita, il suo pensiero, le sue opere e la sua fede. L’intento fondamentale è quello di restituire a Fëdor Michajlovič la parola che di questi tempi non solo gli viene negata, ma, peggio ancora, mutata nel senso e nello spirito.
Qui a Ricognizioni, l’idea era nell’aria da tempo e ora non si concretizza banalmente nello stigmatizzare la censura dell’università Bicocca sul più grande romanziere che la Provvidenza abbia regalato a noi poveri mortali. Però bisogna riconoscere che la cronaca spesso manifesta oltre ogni più celata intenzione i segni dei tempi, oggi metafisicamente così inquietanti. Il caso è noto e non mette conto di riassumerlo, se non nel pensiero condizionato che ne sta al fondo. La colpa di Dosto’, come ormai tutti sanno, è quella di rappresentare un vertice della cultura russa ora che il mondo cosiddetto civile “una mattina / si è svegliato / ed ha trovato l’invasor”: russo, naturalmente, perché i tempi cambiano anche se gli idioti restano. Così l’ex opinione ex pubblica, dopo essere stata per due anni covidcentrica, ora si è improvvisamente scoperta ucrainocentrica.
Questo occidente, bislaccamente tramontato senza neppure rendersene conto, oggi è felicemente malato di russofobia e vede nella censura di Dostoevskij un buon esercizio di risveglio muscolare per l’intellettuale collettivo. Scambia per un segno di salute l’ennesima metastasi di un male più profondo e oscuro che il grande russo aveva diagnosticato più di un secolo mezzo fa e si chiama nichilismo. Ma non sono solo i censori di Dosto’ a soffrirne, ne patiscono anche molti, troppi censori dei censori, gelosi custodi di una libertà pelosa preposti a concedere la parola purché venga detta entro i reticolati della cultura dominante.
Mi interessa poco infierire sui poveri argomenti del magnifico rettore dell’ateneo milanese, o magnifica rettrice visto che in questi tempi barbari per una donna si usa dire così. Ho raggiunto un’età in cui si comprende che il grottesco non ha limiti se non negli abissi infernali dove nessuna parola ha più senso. E poi, guardare anche solo da lontano l’orrore dell’intelletto non è mai un esercizio salutare. Neppure ritengo interessante entrare nel dettaglio del corso su Dostoevskij prima negato, poi rinviato, poi concesso ma solo se accompagnato alla lettura di autori ucraini e poi portato dal titolare in altra sede. Siamo nell’ambito del trinariciutismo a suo tempo così ben stigmatizzato da Guareschi che nessuna pochezza di intelletto può veramente coglierci impreparati.
Mi preme di più, nel presentare Kafè Dosto’, accennare a un altro liquame intellettuale, proveniente in realtà dalla stessa cloaca, ma da un ramo più profondo, oscuro e pericoloso. Mi riferisco alle ipocrite alzate di testa di coloro che hanno subissato di improperi la magnifica rettrice bicocchiana e poi hanno spiegato che Dostoevskij va letto e studiato, sì, ma come antidoto a una certa idea della Russia e, ça va sans dire, a quel cattivo di Putin. Il brodo di cultura non lascia dubbi sulla qualità del dado gettato nel calderone. E va notato che, salvo alcune lodevoli nicchie di resistenza, la sbobba se la sono trangugiata voracemente e a reti unificate tanto a destra quanto a sinistra in campo politico, culturale, sociale e religioso.
Il frutto cresciuto su tale terreno mefitico si è palesato in un gran parlare di Dostoevskij in cui hanno messo becco tutti, soprattutto coloro che non ne hanno letto neppure una pagina e quindi non temono il ridicolo o lo spergiuro nel fargli dire quanto più aggrada all’intellettuale collettivo: che “Dostoevskij è da leggere come antidoto a Putin”. Neanche Dosto’ mi lasciano in pace.
Ora, non dico uno dei grandi romanzi, ché sono lunghi e non ci stanno in un messaggio di whatsapp o in un tweet, ma almeno il più breve articolo del Diario di uno scrittore qualcuno avrebbe anche potuto scorrerlo: Bompiani, 1.402 pagine suddivise in pezzi anche brevi, 40 euro. Che ne so, vi si potrebbe esercitare il ministro per gli Affari Esteri dell’attuale governo italiano che ha definito il Presidente della Federazione Russa “peggio di un animale” senza alcuna significativa reazione di maggioranza, opposizione e società “civile”.
Fra le pagine del Diario, gli adattatori di Dostevskij alle sirene del mondo e della Nato si imbatterebbero in qualche sorpresa. Scoprirebbero, per esempio, come, circa la “questione slava” in voga nei circoli culturali moscoviti e pietroburghesi, Fëdor Michajlovič proclamasse la superiorità della sua terra sull’Europa occidentale e sostenesse che quest’ultima, in qualche modo, appartiene a un destino comune per l’oriente e l’occidente da decidere sul suolo russo.
Non c’è un solo rigo di occidentalmente corretto nell’opera di Dostoevskij, stante che l’occidente è divenuto quel che è. Ma è proprio in tale chiave che se ne può cogliere l’universalità, da non confondere con il cosmopolitismo tanto caro a chi non va oltre Woody Allen e le sue turbe. Dio, la religiosità ortodossa, il rapporto con terra e il mondo, il peccato, la redenzione sono temi incomprensibili nello spirito dostoevskijano se si rapportano ai cascami europoidi intrisi di razionalismo e di romanticismo, due facce di una sola medaglia.
Stessa considerazione vale per le rivendicazioni territoriali, la storia, il futuro di città e popoli su cui il grande russo si intrattiene a lungo e con profondità illuminante anche sull’oggi. Tutte argomentazioni difficilmente comprensibili per un occidente nato già vecchio e preda dei poveri appetiti nazionalisti di cui l’esempio italiano è un caso di scuola fin nella cultura che lo ha cullato.
Più o meno in quegli anni l’Italia, nel sentimento borghese incarnato da Manzoni, si diceva “Una d’arme, di lingua, d’altare, di memorie, di sangue e di cor” e tanto le bastava per aspirare a un posto al sole. Intanto, nel Diario, Dostoevskij auspicava l’annessione di Costantinopoli alla Russia in nome di una inequivocabile chiamata all’universalità. A questo proposito scrive Armando Torno nell’introduzione che “il desiderio di annettere Costantinopoli alla Russia dobbiamo intenderlo come un sogno religioso e non semplicemente come un’esperienza politica. (…) Dostoevskij chiede appunto Costantinopoli in nome dell’universalità del cristianesimo russo”.
Elemento tanto presente al suo spirito da portarlo a rispondere così a chi gli chiedeva come entrasse la sua idea di Russia in una tale visione metafisica della storia: “Come guida dell’Ortodossia, come protettrice e conservatrice di essa, una parte le spetta già dai tempi di Ivan III e per indicare la quale questi mise l’aquila bizantina a due teste al di sopra dell’antico stemma della Russia. (…) Questo diritto sull’antica Zargrad sarebbe comprensibile e non offensivo per gli stessi slavi, gelosi della loro indipendenza, e perfino per gli stessi greci. In questo modo si darebbe a conoscere la vera essenza dei rapporti politici che debbono immancabilmente sorgere tra la Russia e tutte le nazioni ortodosse, greche o slave che siano. La Russia è la loro protettrice e forse anche la loro guida, non però la loro dominatrice; la loro madre e non la loro padrona”.
Bastano poche citazioni per capire quanto siano peregrine le reprimende ai censori di Dostoevskij esibite in favore di camera in nome di un Dostoevskij che non esiste. Il paradosso di una realtà così grottesca sta nel fatto che gli uni e gli altri, censori e pelosi censori dei censori, appartengono allo stesso mondo che lo scrittore russo descrive nei suoi romanzi come frutto di un nichilismo già conclamato anche se riconosciuto soltanto dai grandi spiriti. Come Fëdor Michajlovič, che lo aveva individuato e vinto nell’abbandono a Cristo, o come Nietzsche, che ne era divenuto preda assumendolo nel tentativo di superarlo affidandosi all’uomo nuovo.
Nessuno pretende che l’intellettuale collettivo studi e annoti I demoni con l’acribìa e la lacerante passione del filosofo tedesco, ma che almeno ci buttasse un occhio. Troverebbe il suo credo nelle pagine in cui i nichilisti discettano sulla vita, sulla morte, su Dio.
Verchovenski, per esempio, nella reperibilissima edizione Oscar Mondadori pagina 428: “Le persone con doti superiori non possono non essere dispotiche e hanno sempre corrotto più che giovato; esse vengono scacciate o soppresse. A Cicerone si taglia la lingua, a Copernico si cavano gli occhi, Shakespeare viene lapidato (…). Gli schiavi devono essere eguali: senza dispotismo non c’è ancora stata né libertà né eguaglianza. (…) La sete di istruzione è una sete aristocratica. Non appena sorge la famiglia o l’amore, ecco già anche il desiderio della proprietà. Noi faremo morire il desiderio: diffonderemo le sbornie, i pettegolezzi, le denunce; spargeremo una corruzione inaudita, spegneremo ogni genio nelle fasce. Tutto allo stesso denominatore, l’eguaglianza perfetta. (…) Piena obbedienza, completa assenza di personalità, ma una volta ogni trent’anni (…) si scatena anche una convulsione e tutti cominceranno a un tratto a divorarsi l’un l’altro, però fino a un certo punto, unicamente per evitare la noia”.
Difficilmente l’intellettuale collettivo, peloso difensore di Dostoevskij, potrà dire che questo non sia l’occidental way of life a cui si è votato e in cui sguazza così bene poiché tutto è permesso. Non può dirlo, lui che è figlio spirituale del Kirillov teorico del suicidio metafisico come espediente ultimo per sostituirsi a Dio. Medesima opera e medesima edizione, pagina 116: “Chiunque voglia la libertà suprema deve avere il coraggio di uccidersi. (…) Più in là non c’è libertà; qui è tutto e più in là non c’è nulla. Chi ha il coraggio di uccidersi, quello è Dio. Ora ognuno può fare che non ci sia più Dio e che non ci sia più nulla”.
Per essere la presentazione di un’iniziativa pur importante e appassionante come la riflessione sulla figura di Dostoevskij mi pare di averla tirata anche troppo in lungo. Ma ritengo importante spiegare onestamente cosa cercheremo di offrire a chi ci segue.
Dunque, si chiama Kafè Dosto’ e ora l’abbiamo aperto. In lettura e scrittura è accessibile a tutti gli amici di Ricognizioni: redattori, collaboratori e lettori dotati di un pensiero che nulla abbia di collettivo. Si entra senza green pass
Hey NightVision:
What do you make of this two stage missile that flew over Belarus? What could it be?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3J_evWAlG0
Thanks
Could be time to get ur house in order, or go w/o a lot of things for a very long time, that’s what it could be.
Should have been something else, but that’s gone now.
Hard to say, all I know is that region is the same place they launched a lot of missiles as a search found several dates in february and early march that missiles were similarly seen to launch from there. I’d say it’s an Iskander but the “2 stage” thing looks off to me. The photo looks a bit different and I wonder why they couldn’t show the alleged 2nd stage in the video? Yet the photo is flipped vertically and the stage doesn’t look right because the initial contrail if you notice appears to be the same contrail that keeps going up. So I dunno if it’s some type of photoshop attempt or some other weird photo aberration but most likely it’s just a single staged Iskander.
Toni, with a little heart over the I, just sanctioned China for genocide of the Uighurs. Dumb mofo. From a commenter on Reminiscence of the Past page:

China: No. US: Well you better say a mean thing or else we’re gonna stomp our feet! China: I’m sorry, did you say something? US: You’re a meanie! We’re going make it so you can’t come and visit our third world country! That will show you meanies!

Fedorov, the creator of a popular military-themed YouTube channel in Russia, was arrested in Riga.
Kirill Fedorov is a Latvian citizen. According to reports, he was arrested as he was leaving for Russia. He is allegedly facing a charge of treason.
Europe apparently pressured Latvia to act.
European officials want to accuse Kirill Fedorov of treason because his films are pro-Russian
UK Prepares to seize Gazprom’s assets. No Russian response yet? Are they just going to sit back and watch as their national wealth is plundered. $300 Billion in reserves has already been stolen.
Yeah but Russia already seized over 10 billion $ of their planes too so there is tit for tat going on. https://straightarrownews.com/cc/russia-stealing-10b-of-foreign-planes-considers-seizing-other-western-assets/
Why on earth did Putin reappoint the Central Bank woman who was so stupid as to place half of their foreign reserves outside their country and set up for seizure? No one can explain that. It just doesn’t add up.
To make them think that they’re “really hurting” Russia. Once reality sets in, these punitive actions will assuage their conscience enough to let them back away from WW3.
Other very interesting text, in this case going to the root of Europeans’ hatred of Russia.

And just banned the major opposition party left.

In Germany, the use of “Dagger” in Ukraine was considered a warning for NATO
German expert Hegman called the use of “Dagger” in Ukraine a warning for NATO
MOSCOW, 22 Mar-RIA Novosti. Hypersonic weapons-the Dagger missile-first used by Russia in a special military operation in Ukraine pose an unsolvable problem for the West. This opinion was expressed in an article for the German newspaper Die Welt by columnist Gerhard Hegman.
Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of DefenseIgor Konashenkov said that the hypersonic missile “Dagger” inIn the Ivano-Frankivsk region, the storage of combat units for the Ukrainian Tochka-U tactical missile systems was destroyed, as well as large fuel depots inMykolaiv region.
Military experts, the article says, are considering the use ofUsing “Dagger” as a warning from the Russian PresidentVladimir Putin’s address to NATO. The North Atlantic Bloc, and especially its European members, are aware of the effectiveness of hypersonic weapons, against which they do not have effective systems to repel them.
The Dagger can travel at ten times the speed of sound. In this regard, the reaction time after its identification is extremely short. Therefore, the missile is considered almost invulnerable to Western air defense systems, Hegman summarizes….

It seems Russia has achieved another form of asymmetric parity with the West. They have their “Stealth” which is a sort of tie-breaking element of the arms race that allows them to possibly overpower Russian air defenses but now Russia has hypersonics that would asymmetrically likewise overpower Western air defenses, guaranteeing that in a 2 way conflict neither side would be safe, this is now a dagger (Kindjal) at the throat of the Western Imperium

Daily brief from Colonel Cassad, highlighting the use of Khinzal.
https://colonelcassad.livejournal.com/7509250.html
Briefly about Ukraine. 21.03.2022
1. “Daggers”.
The use of hypersonic weapons in Ukraine was a very significant event. Russia has demonstrated weapons that can be launched from long distances, which easily overcome the existing focal air defense system of Ukraine and destroy complex targets. The Russian Defense Ministry hinted at ” other warheads.” The hint, of course, is not for Ukraine. The case when the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation showed a “cartoon” to the general public, and the Ukrainian public did not like this “cartoon” at all.
2. Kiev.
Against the backdrop of fighting to the west and east of Kiev, the main theme was the strike on the shopping center in the north-western part of Kiev. Shouts about the “attack on a peaceful object” were easily interrupted by the invoice when it turned out that the shopping center was used as a parking lot for MLRS and self-propelled guns, as well as as an ammunition depot. With the help of technical intelligence data, the position of the Ukrainian artillery was calculated and carefully destroyed. After that, Ukraine began to prepare a law prohibiting the removal of positions of Ukrainian equipment under pain of prison. However, the Russian means of objective control cannot be intimidated by a prison, and citizens who report on the location and positions of the Ukrainian occupation forces will do so a little more anonymously and cautiously. Near Chernihiv without changes.
3. Soums.
There was an attempt to carry out a provocation with chemicals in the city area, which the Russian Defense Ministry warned about a few days earlier. It turned out to be completely rotten, and a few hours after the leak, it was announced that it was fixed. But, of course, new provocations with the “use of chemical weapons. weapons in Ukraine” are inevitable. It is necessary to somehow interrupt the topic with biolabs. Moreover, the owners of the “White Helmets” and the Ukrainian Nazis are about the same people. So the movie about “Russia poisons Ukraine with chemicals” is still ahead.
4. Kharkiv.
To the north and the city of boi. Chuguev — under the APU. Balakleya and most of the Raisins — under the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. APU in the southern part of the city is still sitting. There are fights near the Izyum-Slavyansk highway, as well as near Kamenka.
5. LNR.
Fighting in the area of Lisichansk, Severodonetsk and Popasnaya. No significant progress was reported.
6. Marinka/Avdiivka.
Small progress at Marinka. Avdiivka without major changes. Fighting also continues near Verkhnetoretsky. The Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to try to grab onto this village.
7. Ugledar.
Ugledar itself has not yet been taken. Fighting continues in the direction of the Marinka—Kurakhovo highway. Their results will most likely become clear tomorrow. Velikaya Novoselka is under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Steppe, Sweet and Taramchuk — under the army of the DPR.
8. Mariupol.
The city is still being cleaned up, and there are some small improvements in construction. Attempts by the defenders to blend in with the civilian population and escape from the city are becoming more frequent. The less persistent ones begin to gradually peel off from the main core of the defenders and try to save their lives. According to Pushilin, the capture of the city will take another week or even more.
9. Nikolaev.
There are no major changes. The city continues to receive heavy air strikes on identified targets and positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Kim’s “counteroffensive” is no longer mentioned. In Kherson, they began to disperse Maidauns by force. A step in the right direction. Filtration and counterterrorism measures are gradually being activated throughout the territory liberated from the Nazis.
10. Zaporozhye.
Without major changes, only local battles were noted. There is also no significant advance near Nikopol.

I don’t think they are comparable. I always believed the US “stealth technology” was more of a hype than a real, trascendental technological leap in the arms race. The F-117, first “stealth fighter” entered service in 1981, and according to Wikipedia, “…Although it was commonly referred to as the “Stealth Fighter”, it was strictly a ground-attack aircraft…”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_F-117_Nighthawk
The Soviet Union at that time was trapped in the Afghan war, which eventually lead to its dissolution. The F-22 entered service in 2005 (first flight 1997), however, by 1999 the now renamed Russia had developed the Struna-1 anti-stealth radar, whose successive models are “rumored” to be deployed around Moscow.
https://nationalinterest.org/blog/reboot/russias-struna-1-radar-system-really-f-22-stealth-killer-187414
I believe Russia saw through the “stealth technology” hype, and defeated it early on at the turn of the century, a fit they cannot make public. Even the “National Interest” does not know much about this system, stating “it is rumored” they are deployed around Moscow.
Kinzhal is another beast altogether. The “stealth” qualities of the Kinzhal are its speed, erratic flight path, unpredictability and maneuverability. US/NATO have been trying to catch up for several years now, at no avail. Parallel to nuclear capable hypersonic weapons, Russia has developed radars to detect them (now for sale), which means even if the West gets to (finally) build hypersonic weapons, their detection and neutralization is assured.

I have not once heard the Zelensky government talk in a normal way about its Russian citizens, or speak to them with empathy. It does not call tell them compatriots who share a love for the country Ukraine, which would be the normal thing to say. In addition to this lack of empathy, both Crimea and the Donbass are called “occupied territories.” Coupled with lack of empathy, this description sounds like it may be referring to all the Russians who live there, with no room to blame people who take it that way. When the Russian hears “occupied territories”, he sees the Nazi. Right? Disregarding that Russia says it is in a de-nazification military campaign, a personal meeting with Putin is mentioned alongside “occupied territories” as if to cancel the “negotiations” or pre-determine the outcome, and Ukraine’s negotiators are actually complaining about pre-determined outcomes. Since those “occupied territories” are now lost to Ukraine, using this “provocative” term now only interferes with peace. Why not “Crimea and Donbass” instead? Pure and simple, not bad, more like perfect. It would facilitate the desired negotiations. They insist with “occupied territories” though.
“The Ukrainian Occupation of Europe” is a machine translation of an article by political scientist and publicist Rostislav Ishchenko.
What has been happening in recent years with Europe resembles the Great Migration of peoples in the first centuries of our era.
In those ancient, well-forgotten times, the unfortunate tribes, numbering up to 100-200 thousand people (each) as a whole (including women, children, the elderly), capable of fiercely hating each other and fiercely hating each other and fighting each other much more often than united in a coalition against Rome, suddenly erased from the face of the earth, a great millennial empire, whose population fluctuated around 50-60 million, and the armed forces reached 300 (and according to optimistic estimates, 600) thousand people.
There is no correct construction in Russian to describe this event. We say that Rome was conquered by barbarians, but we must say that Rome was “conquered” by barbarians, that is, it conquered itself by these barbarians.
2000 years have passed, and Europe has completely repeated the path of Rome – it has reached the level of a global empire, has become decrepit and is now conquering itself with new barbarians. It is she who conquers herself. At first, the Europeans decided that the dirtiest, most dangerous and low-prestige jobs in their countries should be performed by new barbarians. There was nothing wrong with that yet. This is what many nations do in their heyday.
But at the second stage, the Europeans decided that these barbarians deserve to be considered Europeans, regardless of whether they adopted European culture or still eat their own kind. This is a cruel mistake. The mistake is all the more terrible because the ancient Chinese wisdom has been known for three millennia, saying: “A Khan behaving like a barbarian is a barbarian behaving like a Khan—Khan.” That is, in order to integrate into society and obtain equal rights in it, one must first accept and master the culture of this society. Only after this culture becomes your culture, you can become a responsible member of society and a full citizen of the country.
If migrants arriving to you from the very first day begin to demand free housing, free medicine, financial benefits in the amount of an average salary, and also resent the fact that the minarets of the Notre Dame Mosque still do not rise on the island of Sita, you will quickly come to the conclusion that Somalis fleeing from their own national traditions in the blink of an eye will turn Belle France into Somalia.
In general, the process of turning Europe into Africa was in full swing when it turned out that this was not the worst thing that could happen to it. The Russian special operation began, and millions of Ukrainian “patriots” realized that defending their homeland in Europe is much more profitable than throwing a grenade under a Russian tank. In three weeks, the thirty-million-strong Ukraine has thrown more migrants into Europe than the three hundred million-strong Africa in three years.
These “decent people” are not used to work. They have quite a barbaric national “raiding economy”. Due to the inability to raid their neighbors (because of their military weakness), they have been robbing each other and their own state for the last thirty years, having managed to get to the point that the state practically ceased to exist. And then, when the prospect of starvation loomed quite clearly in front of them (you never know how many barbarian tribes died out like that), salvation came from where they did not expect: Russia launched a special operation, and Europe, outraged that Russian barbarians are being taught intelligence, and not learning from them, opened wide the doors (or even gates) to Ukrainians.
As you know, barbarians should not be invited twice. The Ukrainian epic brought from the depths of centuries the legend that Ukrainians are “Central Europeans”, that is, “Europeans with a quality mark”, who dug the Black Sea and taught the Sumerians writing when the ancestors of the Romance and Germanic peoples had not yet fallen off their tails. According to this legend, Ukrainians are the original owners of European goods, illegally deprived of their property by “Muscovites”. Justice must prevail when European brothers in mind accept Ukrainians into the EU.
It is not necessary to possess all the unsurpassed power of the Ukrainian mind to understand that if the gates to the EU were opened for integration individually, and not collectively (by the whole country), it means that the learned interpreters of ancient texts were a little mistaken. Ukrainians will become Europeans, but Ukraine will not become Europe. Anyway, Ukrainians have already gnawed Ukraine to the bone – let the “Muscovites” build up meat on this skeleton now. In general, the “creators of civilization”, mired in barbarism, rushed in droves to defenseless Europe.
And now let’s remember from one time what the barbarians were doing in Rome, even before its fall and even more so after? Correctly. They set their own rules. At first, the Roman army bent under barbaric habits, in which the barbarians took leading positions. Then the Roman economy and Roman finance began to work in a style that did not require much effort from a simple barbarian intellect. In the end, the Roman political system also gave up, and the “dark ages” came.

[Andrei: This author’s experience amidst the Western propaganda blitzkrieg closely mirrors your own, as you previously described here. She also relates tales from people in Donbas I’d never heard before.]
It is increasingly being suggested that Biden is de facto tacitly removed from power. For example, in connection with the recent situation when Biden first said that Putin is not a war criminal, and then came back and said the opposite. And Harris behaves like a person in a difficult situation – laughing in inappropriate places, admits reservations in speech. Who thinks what about such assumptions?
Just a feeling – 22/03/2022 – 1500 Perth Western Australia
Collapse of Western Financial System – USD Reserve Currency and all Brandons’ accounts in jeopardy – I.E. aka the Minsky Moment is about to fall for US / EU and all grovelling vassals there-under.
Should be rather uncomfortable until end 2023 and more.
Russia needs to bring down Musk’s Starlink orbital constellation. Either DE or kinetic. It cannot allowed to remain up there.
Agreed. They are using phased array beam-forming, similar to modern military radars. Now imagine 1000s of satellites, millions of ground antennas, all over the globe, 24/7.
Andrei, is Russia openly using theemobaric weapons? It does look like they are being used. What’s the policy?
https://twitter.com/RWApodcast/status/1506016231794561030
But the territories of Germany and Poland are now part of the Empire of Lies, aren’t they? Therefore, we read the opposite: “Mariupol has become a symbol of the brutality of the Ukrainian military leadership”” etc.

I have often wondered why any serious investors would invest in markets:
1. Of a nation that murders and genocides the defenseless such as women and children – by the millions
2. And their inhumane wars are endless
3. That steals the resources of defenceless nations by bribery and blackmail
4. That lies about everything…
5. Has its own citizens living on the streets in feces and urine as adjudicated by its Courts.
6. Pays little attention to the health needs of its veterans that have returned from its wars
7. Imposes illegal mandates on its people to take injections of substances of questionable content but nevertheless – admitting the uselessness of vaccine intent and includes useless masks.
8 Intent of savaging early children with variations to their sexuality – by opinion – or is its a fee per child?
9. Imposition of jabs on early children (defenseless) with toxic vaccines
10 Has its ‘leadership’ in the hands of a bigger idiot that Baby Bush while being corruption as his God link to a drug satiated representative son.
11. Has its FedRes bias all monies to the 0.001% Banker elite while screwing its citizens.
12. Let’s not forget The State Department which actively is engaged in developing more wars with other defenseless nations like Libya – sodomizing their leaders using marine knives.
13. And the genocide of Palestinians – now that is just sick
I could go on, however… but I don’t call any of this as ‘civilization’.
… also doesn’t allow me to have any faith in this junkies paradise.

The Z can blame Russia and say ‘I told you so’ LOL
Now that would be choice.
Why do you keep spewing the propaganda from the “west”?
We are here to get away from it so just stop.
The evidence keeps piling up to a mindset of determined war, pick and choose your information, pick and choose how you use it.
https://www.rt.com/news/552434-biden-new-world-order/
Something is so far being overlooked as we pull to one side – USA or Russia. It is Ukraine itself. The Comedian ‘president’ Mr. Z apparently is actually born in the Russian-speaking oblast Dnipropetrovsk, with a grandfather who was a Russian soldier in WWII. Mr Z is also a Jew – yes? What do Jews think of the ‘Holocaust’ (trade mark)? Zelensky did propose in 2019 to treat the Donbass residents as Ukrainian residents as a first step to supposedly fulfilling his election process to end the conflict. The ‘right’ nationalists, Nazis, and Banderists refused this, and then sought to force the resignation of Zelensky due to ‘treason’. OK. In October 2019 Zelensky moved to accept the German ” Steinmeier formula” in order to ‘jump-start’ the Minsk agreements – the obvious irreconciliable point being that the ensuing Ukrainian border control question prior to the projected elections in Donbass. Again the nationalists in Ukraine decried treason, saying “No to Capitulation”. Far right activists set up an armed checkpoint to prevent disengagement in a frontline town, with their Interior Ministry needing to take 2 weeks to disarm the nationalists.
In December 2019 the ‘Normandy format’ met France, Germany, Ukraine, Mr. Putin, resulting in a ‘watered-down disengagement’ by Ukraine at the line of contact, and a complete failure to resolve the Ukraine-Russia border control question. By Fall 2020 a consultative effort by Ukraine’s Andrey Yermak and Russia’s Dimitry Kozak caused further Ukrainian nationalists to cry out in anguish. Here there is a near-total disconnect resulting in the seemingly inevitable events of the present.
So, we can ascertain that Zelensky actually did make a good-faith effort to resolve the Donbass crisis, but it all efforts, as weak as the Russian side believes them to be, utterly failed. Of course then the American regime-change neo-cons strategies then took the forefront.
Recall, too, the the Azov battalion in Mariupol executed a Ukranian general when he attempt to disarm the Nazi element there, and that Ukraine itself then sent in one of their remain heavy missiles to eliminate a nest of Naziis in Mariupol. Now, we have Zelensky issuing the same order Hitler ordered in the defense of Berlin in 1945 to fight to the last man in defense of Mariupol. Additional background: the US has made this war policy since 1975, learned when the Vietnam war protests led to the forcing of the end of the Vietnam war with a demonstration in Yugoslavia when no American soldier died as they bombed Serbia for 78 days That is, as long as no Americans get killed and policy objectives are met they would have a free hand domestically – Americans mindless distracted by consumerism. Everyone knows the American seek to rule (or at least dominate the world). How could any one now argue that is not true? Why else would they add to American’s domestic economic disintegration with the costs of the present Ukraine war and sanctions? It would be worth it only if the goal was to capture Russia and control its resources. Look how the Ukranians have been doing just that in Donbass since 2014 – now obvious the goal being to reclaim the territory and destroy the population. For reinforcement of this view see the race-select biological warfare programs initiated by the US in Ukraine – all 30+ facilities.
Now, fast-forward to the present. Could it be that Zelensky is on the Russians side here? A Jew – the Holocaust – the shoot-down of the link of the Holocaust by Israel – the Nazi-force Azov battalion in Mariupol. Then look at Macron of France – seeking to be political advantage at all costs, phony as he is – and the famed ‘political ponerology’ theories expounded in the book by Andrew Lobaczewski. And, the obvious psychopathic technocratic elements driving the implosion of the present world systems leading to their control and ownership of everything with guaranteed income tying the commoners to not get out of line or have their economic life ended. And, the resistance and threat of Russia and China to create a competing economic system and the destruction of the petrodollar itself. Look at the issue of the Russian central bank foreign reserves and the re-nomination by Putin of the Russian central reserve chairperson. Why would he do that after $300 billion foreign reserves supposedly frozen the US world controller. See how the dollar will be undermined by Saudi petroleum denominated in Yuan – this is not a small country here China – and how the seizure of Russia’s foreign reserve might be a necessary sacrifice to broadcast to the world that all your Wall Street holdings can go up in smoke if you don’t follow American dictates (and they called Trump a dictator!)
Connect the dots. Zelensky is supervising, in his clown-like manner, the end of Ukranian statehood, while he condemns the Nazi Azov battalion to extermination in Mariupol – all while he is “the West’s” new celebrity darling. Now, is that be brilliant, or what! People are saying that everything is phony now anyway – the economy, the politics, “jobs”, “elections” – could it be that all this a just a game for world domination at all costs, whether it be by China or by the United States?
First off – this is a great read. Thank you.
Of course, the part that really grabbed me was the following “obvious psychopathic technocratic elements driving the implosion of the present world systems leading to their control and ownership of everything.”
The nightmare is selective. What if we woke up tomorrow and found the control room was empty, there are no wizards behind the curtain. When I look at U.S. and other western leaders, I see the face of obvious impotency trying to convince everyone they are still calling the shots. A mass of squirming incompetents. The face of that which churns upon the Beast. They always have the answer, whatever the cost. Then issue the rest of us a bill and move on.
Their legacy is decrepitude.
I would like more information about the Ukrainian general killed by Azov. When and what name?

What did you do in American biolabs in Ukraine
Factual analysis of published documents concerning American bio-laboratories in Ukraine.
The study of pathogens of Congo-Crimean fever in Lviv was conducted in gross violation of all conceivable norms — the first part of the analysis of materials of the Russian Defense Ministry on Ukrainian biolabs from the Rybar team
We have carefully analyzed the archive of documents (https://t.me/rybar/28913published by the Russian Defense Ministry on March 17, 2022. Unfortunately, 80% of the materials are very ordinary and ordinary documents, on the basis of which it is premature to draw a number of conclusions. In slides (https://disk.yandex.ru/d/Y8zIZLLNV6M9Fg) describes a high-profile story, while in evidence (https://disk.yandex.ru/d/ndINmQKPfDRM0w)- a modest bureaucracy, which, if desired, can be easily protected by a good law firm.
But among the entire array, we managed to isolate the main thing — and this covers all other shortcomings.
First, let’s go through the main theses:
▪️ On avian influenza: project working documents were published with minimal information content and a large number of announced plans, 70% of which will never be completed (who wrote the grant applications knows). It is impossible to draw any conclusions based on these documents alone.
▪️ On bats: An attempt was made to build a surveillance system with sample collection and source identification. But all that follows from the documents is that they are project documents describing a potentially dual-use program.
Given the fact that the European Center for Disease Control cannot really build its entire unified network, much less include countries outside the EU, the creation of a surveillance network in Ukraine is rather not very science fiction.
This, by the way, also rejects many excuses made by the apologists of these programs. The Americans will not put the entire system of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in any way in order, and here it is supposed to build such a large program in a country where all the infrastructure is broken.
▪️Transfer of biomaterial to other countries: this is common practice. The Ukrainian side can easily justify itself by saying that they are poor and have no equipment of their own (the fact that they destroyed Soviet laboratories and made themselves dependent is another matter), and the population, they say, needs to be taken care of.
The only thing you can catch on to is sending documents to the Lugar Center in Georgia, which has repeatedly become involved in scandals. But we are sure that now the American curators have already cleaned up the extra documents.
An interesting document is the extension of the UP-8 project, one of the goals of which is to study the particularly dangerous Congo-Crimean fever virus. The project involves assessing the level of its incidence in Ukraine and, potentially, conducting differential diagnostics to distinguish this fever from leptospirosis. This explains the presence of 200+ samples of leptospirosis in Lviv.
But this does not explain why projects related to the Congo-Crimean fever were studied in a BSL-2 laboratory. According to all requirements, such studies of this virus should be conducted in a BSL-4 laboratory, which is not available in Ukraine (https://t.me/rybar/28166). There is a gross violation of all the requirements for working with deadly pathogens: there is no concern for the health and life of the population of the region.
But the fact of violating the requirements for conducting research is further complicated by the fact that a company that has nothing to do with healthcare and biotechnology was allowed to participate in research under the UP-8 project.
The contract for the project was signed with the American firm Black & Veatch, which we cannot consider anything other than part of the US scientific and technical intelligence in the region. The company also has nothing to do with healthcare. B&V has never been officially associated with epidemiology. This is a construction company that provides a very wide range of services. The allocated amounts are quite small (1-2 million dollars) and in the United States they would only be enough to pay 10 employees during the year (without purchasing reagents and other consumables).
There is only one open source job available (https://fjfsdata01prod.blob.core.windows.net/articles/files/589464/pubmed-zip/.versions/2/.package-entries/fcimb-10-589464.pdf?sv=2018-03-28&sr=b&sig=QenuF1nbTyxYYfzqeFtC9XFgUn3fvZynitGkhrPdbkQ%3D&se=2022-03-19T15%3A35%3A32Z&sp=r&rscd=attachment%3B%20filename%2A%3DUTF-8%27%27fcimb-10-589464. pdf) on the topic of studying the Congo-Crimean fever in Lviv by Black & Veatch. They did not work with the pathogen itself, but studied the blood tests of 996 residents for the presence of antibodies (which implies contact with the infection).
And in 16 samples, antibodies were detected, which is actually close to the indicators of an endemic region where cases of the disease are regularly recorded. Even though the research doesn’t require much time, it’s not clear why this project has been running for several years.
B&V was represented in the study by Olena Nesterova. The fact is that it has a critically small number of (https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Nde-0LIAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao) scientific publications (only four of them, two of them in Ukrainian) and there is no degree of at least a candidate of sciences. And such a person is conducting a project related to the Congo-Crimean fever in the BSL-2 laboratory, which is a direct violation of all conceivable norms. But after completing the study, she was put in charge (https://www.linkedin.com/in/olena-nesterova-a8409111b/?originalSubdomain=ua) by the Public Health Research Institute.
People who lived in the Soviet era will begin to remember the practice of working in “boxes”: there were research institutes where only a postal address was available from all open information, and people conducted classified research. After employees of such enterprises went to “citizen” in good positions, they could easily be calculated by the lack of a minimum scientific background in open sources.
The head of Black & Veatch is Lance Lippenkot, who works with (https://www.linkedin.com/in/lance-lippencott-56861832/) has been in Ukraine for 11 years, but does not have a specialized education. This is a graduate of West Point, an aeromechanical engineer who has nothing to do with biology, much less biotechnology. A person with a military past and no military present.
What do we have in the bottom line?
▪️ There is strong evidence that the Americans are indeed in charge of Ukrainian biolabs.
▪️ There are clear indications that the programs conducted there do not really correspond to the declared goals.
▪️ Dual-use projects are potentially being developed there.
It is supervised by people from the military environment who have nothing to do with healthcare or biotechnology.
▪️ Under this story, scientific papers are adjusted, which are molded “for show” by very low-class professionals, and a fairly simple project takes several years. And one of its main performers eventually gets an important and responsible position that absolutely does not correspond to her competencies.

Navalny was a good useful idiot for the US/Eurostan/West Russophobes, now he’s on his way to a high-security penal colony somewhere in Siberia, maybe, where the wind turns around. He could have been doing his anti-Putin thing in Eurostan, celebrated side by side with the Belarusian opposition, instead, he’s been condemned to be forgotten, even by the Western masters that pushed him to be a “hero” or a “martyr” to the cause…or a useful idiot.

Navalny was sentenced to nine years in a penal colony on charges of fraud and insulting the court
He will serve his sentence in a high-security penal colony

Southfront Summary of the Donbas situation:
https://southfront.org/slow-but-steady-advance-in-donbass-and-more/
The New York Times reported today that Ukraine has about 55 fighter jets, interviewing a pilot who flies an Su-27:
“In the night sky, Andriy said he relies on instruments to discern the positions of enemy planes, which he says are always present. He has shot down Russian jets but was not permitted to say how many, or of which type. He said his targeting system can fire at planes a few dozen miles away.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/22/world/europe/ukraine-air-force-russia.html
Maybe this is him?:
There was a video of the wreckage of the Su-25 of the Ukrainian Air Force in the Kherson region✈️
https://t.me/black_list_VSU/2543
“Andriy”, 25, said that he knew many fighter pilots who died, including pilots more experienced than himself. Maybe his only survival chance is for Zelensky to surrender: “’I had situations when I was approaching a Russian plane to a close enough distance to target and fire,’ he said. ‘I could already detect it but was waiting for my missile to lock on while at the same time from the ground they tell me that a missile was fired at me already.’ He said he maneuvered his jet through a series of extreme banks, dives and climbs in order to exhaust the fuel supplies of the missiles coming after him. ‘The time I have to save myself depends on how far away the missile was fired at me and what kind of missile,’ he said.”
@ tranquilocomp
What’s the point of bringing “news” here from the NYT, that Wall Street mouthpiece? Didn’t have enough with their lies about Iraq? They were the ones behind that “ace” pilot that shot the entire Russian Aerospace Forces. Just reading the NYT is a losing exercise, and a waste of time, let alone considering it a source of reliable news.

I quit my membership for reasons like you state, but subscribed again because of Russia-Ukraine. In this report, I learned that some Ukranian planes are taking off from highways, for example. They fly 5 to 10 sorties per day. I think it says the Russians fly about 200 sorties per day. It’s news too. Not all is going to be lies. What made me unsubscribe before is the poor analysis quality they have, but this is different. If I keep my subscription “afterwards” (I want to say “war”), it will be for their Time Machine. You can read any NYT back to 1854. (It used to be a great newspaper. In the 1860s, they gave transcripts of speeches by short-hand as if tape recording them.)
Lone Wolf
You imply that the NYT story could be lie. More than lying, now and then they quote liars as if they were honest, and lying is a hard thing to judge because many biased people lie to themselves. It says there are “crumpled remnants of Russian fighter jets have crashed into rivers, fields and houses.” That can be verified or disproven.
@ tranquilocomp
That’s not how the NYT work. They work by innuendo, insinuations, subliminal threads. As Andrei Martyanov describes it, they don’t give you news, but narratives.
1) They are biased, and you know that.
2) They are liars, and you know that.
3) They sell their narrative to people who buy the newspaper, therefore, consciously or subconsciously these people are already “in” the loop, relatively easy for them to swallow whatever the NYT print.
