Barak Obama, 29 August 2014.
“If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.”
Interestingly, most of us who are seeking the truth are primarily attempting to undo the lies – lies umpteen times repeated, lies about Russian invasions, first proclaimed by Poroshenko, Ukraine’s oligarch leader (sic), lies of Russia not respecting Ukraine’s sovereignty, demonization against President Putin, Malaysian airliners downed by Russia – and-so-on. The latest accusation is that JP Morgan and four other Wall Street banks have been hacked. And the culprit is…. Of, course Russia, according to the presstitute MSM.
It doesn’t matter whether what Poroshenko said and is repeated the world over was based on a translation error (according to the German Tagesschau, the German mainstream TV news) – or whether it is just a conventional lie continuously repeated until it becomes the truth à la Goebbels – the western bought propaganda machine takes full advantage of this hundreds of years old simple strategy of deception.
The interesting part, however, is that hardly anyone on that very occasion is presenting the counter-weight, so to speak, namely to what extent Kiev is assisted by US paid mercenaries, CIA military and strategic advisers and their equipment, all paid for in one way or another by the State Department, CIA, or NATO. And these are facts. Not inventions for deception.
There is enough proof about who caused the 22 February 2014 coup (Maidan) – Madame Nuland, Kerry’s assistant, bragged about it at the Washington Press club – remember the US$ 5 billion investment in Ukraine’s regime change that cannot be let go down the drain because of the f….ing Europeans. She was caught hot-handed or hot-voiced on the phone with the US Ambassador in Kiev.
Ever since that infamous coup, the US / NATO and the EU have had their dirty hands in Kiev’s Nazi killer junta – otherwise the Kiev thugs would have never had either the courage or the military knowledge to advance to the Donbas area of Ukraine, where they were literally ordered to kill their brothers. Some of them with some conscience defected early on; then they were accompanied under threats of life by CIA ‘advisers’. Eventually they defected by the thousands because of lack of food and ammunition and the resulting low-low morale.
It is actually irrelevant whether Russia has troops and armory in East Ukraine. In fact it would be well justified for Russia to defend her countrymen from savage slaughter, as many Donbas citizens are originally Russians. But – they don’t, as Mr. Putin is too smart to spoil his diplomatic assets on a war that is already lost by Kiev.
Be this as it may, why do we, truth seekers, at a time of Obama’s lie exclamations and countless media repetitions not present more frequently the US / NATO invasion in Ukraine and their assistance to the Kiev murderers, rather than always being on the defensive, undoing lies in defense of Russia?
The truth of what the US-NATO killing machine, its vassal EU states and its paid mercenaries are up to in Ukraine, and that they won’t let go regardless of what Obama mutters to tranquilize the world — the truth is in one way or another Washington is committed to its financial and corporate elite to achieve Full Spectrum Dominance, meaning complete subjugation of the world to Washington’s masters, the military-security industrial complex and the war financing monetary system – FED-Wall Street-IMF, the latter being a mere extension of the US Treasury.
The Endgame means encircling Russia and China with more NATO bases, including in Ukraine and Moldova, as close as possible to Moscow’s doorsteps; and, foreseen by 2015, with 60% of the US naval fleet in the South China Sea.
We should not be detracted by the day-to-day details and lies, by the fires that flare up here and there, though all horrible, killing thousands of people; we should not be confused by ‘who is doing what?’ – But rather focus on the Big Picture, the intentions behind the US / NATO killing machine, not so much by denying the obvious lies, but rather by describing actual facts and the long-term strategy behind them.
Obama screamed again ‘wolf’ today, literally shouting – ‘Russia has invaded Ukraine, Russia’s military and equipment are in Ukraine, Russia is funding the separatists’ — then adds, ‘but it’s not in the cards for America to intervene now.’
Don’t be fooled. Obama and his masters won’t go away. He says the same about American intervention in Syria – it’s not the right time, while arming and bombing (as a disguise) at the same time ISIS, created and funded in 2007 by Washington under successively different names to further confuse the public at large. At that time they came out of Turkey as Syrian Freedom Fighters, later they converted into the Al’Nusra Front of rebels, and now they are the ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, also called the Islamic State of the Levant.
This will do until the public needs to be again confused with a new group of Islamic terrorists to justify continuous wars on terror – to feed continuously the fat profit accounts of the eternal war lords. But only, if we the people let them confuse and deceive and divide us.
At the same time, Washington’s warmonger-in-chief, encourages his EU puppets to intervene and sending their troops into Ukraine, and imposing still more ‘sanctions’ on Russia. Let Europe take the hit if there is war. Not for nothing are NATO bases spiked throughout Europe, convenient targets for Russian missiles. – One could wonder – are the Europeans blind or just don’t care – or their leaders (sic) bought to the point where they hope to just disappear to America’s paradise when Russian rockets hit their countries’ NATO bases – and let their people smolder under nuclear dust?
We the 99.99% have all the powers to stop these US instigated murderous aggressions, by rejecting the continuously lying and deceiving propaganda machine, by rejecting and refusing to listen to the corporate presstitute media.
A few weeks ago there was hope that German Chancellor Merkel would see the light, would abandon the bandwagon of the ‘sanctioners’, because not only did she get a lot of pressure from German industrialists, but also the German people are worried about their energy supply – especially this coming winter. Germany depends by up to 40% on Russia for their energy supplies.
Unfortunately we were wrong. Madame Merkel bent over backwards to please Obama. The naked emperor convinced her not to leave his sinking ship. – What does he have up his imaginary sleeve? Anything he may have discovered by eavesdropping on her cellphone conversations? – So strong to sway her away from reason to the detriment of all of Europe? – These latest sanctions are backlashing on the EU, especially the farmers, a multiple times harder than they hit Russia. European agriculture and mostly small farmers, are losing billions of euros worth on stalled exports to Russia of meat, vegetables, fruit and other food stuff, because Russia retaliated by blocking imports from the EU. Russia is now establishing new trade routes with Latin America.
On 18 September Obama will meet at the White House with Poroshenko, to be sure he stays in line and doesn’t sway Putin’s way, because corrupt oligarchs tend to be not very reliable. Obama may promise him premature entry to NATO and all the fake fiat dollars that come with it.
It would not be a surprise if Obama were also to receive Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the ‘new’ ISIS caliphate, to assure him of America’s continuous support, if he lets him bomb them, the ISIS troops that is, ever so often, just for show and to confuse the public mind – and, of course, as a disguise to bomb Syria to eventually topple Baschar al-Assad for – regime change.
Obama may also promise the ISIS a key role in the new Syrian government – provided he succeeds in regime change (for now unlikely) – similar as he did to the ‘rebels’ and other Islamic fractions of Libya. What Obama needs are not well-organized new regimes, but civil wars, fighting sections of societies to keep populations dying, and those still alive on their toes, fighting for their daily survival and fleeing across borders into refugee camps of other lands, thereby swallowing up neighboring countries resources and creating anger in the local population – the old divide to rein tactic.
The Big Picture is important. The people need to see it, the End Game – what is expecting them, if they – we, the 99.99% – are not taking actions to prevent Full Spectrum Dominance from succeeding.

I nominate this posting as the funniest in the last month.
It was on the Putin addresses the Militia thread.
But it is so crisply acerbic I have re-read it five times today just to laugh. Enjoy . . .

Lies and deception have characterised the Guardian’s and Independent’s take on Ukraine.

The western take says that the ‘separatists are losing ground with cities surrounded and cut off from each other.
.

http://rusvesna.su/news/1409313263
The novorussian take is that the Ukrainian army is effectively destroyed with almost literally every part of it surrounded including in Mariupol. Estimates 10000 Ukrainian ‘soldiers surrounded with Putin advocating ‘humanitarian corridor’ to get them out.
My take is that in order to avert political and military crisis the nazi Poroshenko under NATO guidance has created a crisis with the Russians covert assistance now being labelled an invasion which probably breaks some US / Russian gentle men’s agreement around plausible deniability.
Within 2 months without drastic help Kiev will default and be plunged into cold and darkness due to energy shortages. Already the Right Sector are threatening ‘to deal’ with the president and demanding the resignation of the defense minister.
Two maps
Completely different
Who is telling the truth?
Great article.
The real cause of the current conflict is that, as the Iraq and Afghanistan wars wound down, Obama and other leaders suggested it was time to cut back on bloated US military spending.
The real governing cabal in the US (bankers, defense contractors, State, CIA, NSA, etc) would all lose out since defense cuts mean that there would be massive job cuts and an inevitable recession.
With 100% + debt to GDP the US could not afford to start another war alone, so Russia’s threat to Europe had to be manufactured to get all NATO countries on board to spend more on defense. Hence the need to rush the Ukrainian Maidan coup in February, to provoke Russia.
The BRICS Alliance move to trade agreements that avoided USD currency transactions was another longer term blow to US world economic domination.
The overall US goal is the same as at it has been since Brzezinski’s “Grand Chessboard” was published in the 1990’s. Break all large countries that potentially threaten the US and Israel (Iran, Iraq, Russia) into small harmless republics with insufficient resources to generate a significant political, military or economic threat.
All Putin is doing to help implement the US strategy is to provide a convenient foil to mask the real US agenda. Pathetic that NATO does not see through this.

Dear Mr. Koening,
Q: We the 99.99% have all the powers to stop these US instigated murderous aggressions, by rejecting the continuously lying and deceiving propaganda machine, by rejecting and refusing to listen to the corporate presstitute media.
R: The French Revolution [take your pick] has taught us that the on stage actors may change and even the decorum, but the story itself never changes. For thousands of years we’ve had, princes, princesses, kings, queens, emperors and what not, so the lust for [real] equality and [true] justice must have been lost somewhere in the process we refer to as ‘domestication.’
For example; do you get along with every single one of your family members?
I don’t. So, let’s amplify that feeling of ‘harmony’ and tranquility’ a few hundred thousand times and we’ll be a lot closer to where we are today.
As a human race we are all as one, but as individuals we most certainly are not. Feed those differences [divide and conquer], let economic bubbles rise and explode, let your bankster friends feed off of the middle class in unheard of frenzies and, again, you’ll end up where we are today.
As long as those who long for peace can’t cut through that Gordian knot, we’ll be staring at that tangled piece of s*** for many centuries to come.
My friends say I’m a very positive thinking person, but when I look at mankind [in general] the number of exceptions [of people actively participating in changing the course of the world population] are few and far in between. As long as that feeling of peace. equality and justice is not shared from within [the heart and soul] of every single individual, but dictated from the outside, the success rate of success will traverse along nihilistic lines.

Germany needs a man with a strong will to lead the country. Not a woman who aims to please her atlantic “allies” and always backs down on the critical issues. If it wants to be relevant and free again, that is.
I agree. Millions see and also agree here in the West. Our voices are ignored or trolled over.
One thing that ould help a great deal can be done from Russia. If you accept that we in the West who agree with you; take our news from RT, then you In Russia can help tremendously and quite easily. Simply STOP the trolls from commenting on RT. They are paid by Google to troll the rubbish and emailing RT directly does nothing to stop this.
I ask you directly ; PLEASE CAN YOU USE YOUR INFLUENCE TO MONITOR RT? Is there one of you who has the ear of Mr Putin?
regards Nick
MSM goes ‘full spectrum’;
a) “As Putin has shown with the food import embargo, the regime is ready to harm its own people if necessary.” CNN [I won’t link to it]
Note the subtle use of the word ‘regime‘ [wink, wink, nudge, nudge]
b) “There is, however, something the West can do to change Putin’s mind much quicker, namely help Ukraine to win a just war against a foreign aggressor.” not linked to the same CNN garbage as above.
Note the subtle use of the word just in ‘just war.’
c) “Finland’s Fighter Jets on Alert as Russia Violates Airspace.” – not linked to Bloomberg
Note the subtle use of the word ‘violates‘ as if it is an ongoing act of aggression.
d) “WHITE HOUSE TO PUTIN: Don’t ‘Even Think About Messing Around’ With The Baltics” – Not linked to Business Insider.
Note the not so subtle use of the phrasing of this sentence [as if the US’ still a formidable foe].
Well, that’s all I can stomach for the moment.
This piece is *absolutely* perfect!
Saker: This article fits to 99,9% with what I think. I would not trust Obamas sudden interest to cooperate with Assad against ISIS. Moreover, US should not be allowed to bomb in Syrian territory whatever the excuse. Obamas masters only wish is permanent war, and the dollar hegemony for whatever mean. Russia has nothing to hope from West Europe. As I calimed before better for Russia and China (and obviously the rest of BRICS) to be tightly coordinated or they will be destroyed and maybe all of us.
The master plan was to hand the Ukraine over to Big Energy for fracking and Big Agri for GM crops – neat huh?- and you get to use the people as slaves – a plantation economy for the 21st Century. Like the last great master plan for Der Ost it has run into deep trouble. This is history in the making….the Bear is fully aware and getting angrier. a race to the last helicopter from the roof anyone?
Haven’t we been here before?
All strength to the citizens of NovoRussia, the eyes of all thinking humans are on you, and we will you on. Do not falter…
here is a true story:
a guy from a firm where I worked attended some wedding and at the table was a couple from Bosnia who at the height of war escaped to the US and returned recently due to some health condition and stayed again in Bosnia.
So this acquaintance told those two: I have a nutcase in my firm who says that everything that comes from US is a lie and deceit. Those two in one voice said “True!”…
so, go figure…
I remember a time when lying was frowned on. In politics to be found out lying was career-ending. That seems centuries ago. Nowadays in Western politics the lie, Big and little is not just ubiquitous it is so prevalent that a truth stands out lie a sore thumb. Indeed the politicians thrown up by neo-liberal and neo-conservative dominance, fundamentalist Free Market theology and Israel Lobby veto, are these days so utterly morally insane and intellectually fith-rate (to be generous)that they actually seem to believe their lies.
The western MSM, totally controlled by the same forces, is also a desert of untruth, vicious bigotry, hate-mongering, fear-mongering and all round human scabrousness. The situation has been reached where the West represent an omnipresent, totalist, all-encompassing Evil and moral insanity that simply deserves to be destroyed. Beneath the hideous layer of corrupt filth that sits atop the neo-feudal social structures wrought by the Right’s triumph, billions of decent human beings yet exist, but most in the West are so stupefied by obesity, incipient dementia, junk-food, advertising manipulation, brain-rotting mass entertainment etc, that their human capacity is almost totally wasted. Putin is a human being, for all his faults (and we all have them-I even have the odd one myself, purely inconsequential, of course)but, in comparison to the robopath Obama and the other psychotics of the Western elite, he looks like a paragon.
Hi,
Peter Konings article does not help the cause. It is so similar to the BS written on mainstream media. Let us stick to the regular posts about life and struggles in Donbass, about truth, about serious developments, about latest maps of activity the Dombass forces, about culture, about the slavic people. That in itself is more than enough to undo the lies of the MSM. We do not come to blods to reads rants. We come for original articles. If you have any, do post. No need for space fillers. Trust me they do more harm and discredit the seriousness ofthis blog.
This is for a cause. In war it is called softening up. We can be sure they have something planned an until its over they will keep it up. Does not matter if it is the truth.
What is amazing is the so called free and private media are doing this. Until you realise they are just anoher part of the government military industrial complex you still think they are independant and tell you the details fo what is going on. But by now we know they only tell you to cndition your thinking to their agenda.
PART 1
Hi,
whether the 99.99% can stop the Anglo-Zionist global gang of elites is a question mark, because most of the people across globe are primarily bothered about only their income and food, and seldom try to understand that the plutocracy use ‘democracy’ to rob them left and right.
Let’s do a strategic analysis to explore outcomes of geopolitical, economic, military issues in east Europe and Eurasia as on date:
ISSUE 1: Trade between Russia and EU countries going down >>
Russian action option-‘a’: Stop all trade relations including supply of energy with EU by next 1 month to teach EU govt. a lesson.
Russian action option-‘b’: DON’T do anything, and let EU (managed/ cajoled by USA) do whatever they like about trading with Russia, Russia to take retaliatory actions only as response.
We can see that, Most likely outcomes on ‘a’ = Most likely outcomes on ‘b’:
• USA will continue to force EU countries to reduce trade and business with Russia.
• EU-Russian trade drastically reduces by next 1 year period, to stabilize at much lower than before.
• Russian Natural Gas delivery to EU thru Ukraine transit reduces by next 1 month.
• South Stream pipeline project gets blocked by EU countries
• All global Energy companies like BP backs out from oil and gas projects in Russia
• USA push all EU countries to Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership thereby capturing the business space which could have seen Russian and Chinese state-owned companies alongside of EU based multinational companies
• Global media owned by USA and EU one percent elites continuously vilify Russia, malign Russian President as a militarist leader, and glorify Nazi-rightist gangs backed by current Ukraine government

PART 2
ISSUE 2: South-east Ukraine (Novorossian) unrest >>
Russian action option-‘a’: To stop atrocities on ethnic Russians in Novorossia, deploy military in east Ukraine OR provide covert military support to separatists OR officially recognise Novorossian state and then, send overt military support as an ally. Then, pull-out when Ukraine accepts Novorossian independence or autonomous status
Russian action option-‘b’: DON’T provide covert military aid, and continue to provide small support to Novorossian armed groups till they either lose or get into protracted war, & DON’T deploy Russian military in Novorossia even if Ukrainian oligarchy slaughters Novorossians.
We can see that, Most likely outcomes on ‘a’ = Most likely outcomes on ‘b’:
• USA and EU will impose more stringent sanctions that will bite Russian trade and banking, defense, energy business, manufacturing. Russia will face economic stagnation for next 3 – 4 years.
• USA and NATO provides military support to Ukraine government in terms of military hardware, training, small specialist mercenary groups with boots-on-ground
• Ukraine deploys all types of military hardware and deploys combat forces to slaughter east Ukrainian population and capture the land
• Ukraine becomes a NATO-aligned country, not a regular member
• Global media owned by USA and EU Anglo-Zionists and Elite Allies continuously vilify Russia, malign Russian President as a militarist leader, and glorify Nazi-rightist gangs backed by current Ukraine government
We MUST NOTICE there are other possible outcomes also:
Most likely outcomes on ‘a’ additionally
• Novorossia state gets created with a pointer to the history of Russian Tsar empire who truly brought this land within Russia
• Large number of ethnic Russians will survive along with their culture and religion
• USA and EU gets less than expected ‘real estate’ in Ukraine as 25% of land is gone to Novorossia
• European countries who are part of EU but not NATO currently, will join NATO. Ukraine joins NATO as ‘eastern frontier’. NATO outposts installed at Kyiv oblast in Ukraine.
We MUST ALSO NOTICE Most likely outcomes on ‘b’ additionally
• Large scale ethnic cleansing of Russians in the eastern and southern Ukraine so that Russian culture and Orthodox religion becomes dead there
• NATO outposts installed at current Russia – Ukraine border within 1 year

The Dutch government (Openbbaar Ministerie) admitted the existence of an agreement between Netherlands, Belgium, Australia and… Ukraine.
The NOS (Dutch BBC) added that the agreement contains a non-disclosure agreement. So if the outcome of the investigation is not liked by the Kiev junta, it is not going to be published. As if anybody is going to be fooled by this.
Kind regards,
Dutch
PART 3
ISSUE 3: Military built-up by USA+NATO plutocracy 1% ruling elites >>
Russian action option-‘a’: Deploy advanced nuclear missiles, navy, air-force, air defense systems in Russia, and sell the same to friendly countries. Provide all types of military support to Iran and Syria.
Russian action option-‘b’: DON’T give much importance to modernization of Russian military. DON’T provide air defense system to Iran, and 5G fighter engines to China.
We can see that, Most likely outcomes on ‘a’ = Most likely outcomes on ‘b’:
• USA and NATO will finish deployment of sophisticated ABM system by next 3 years surrounding Russian territory, which will nullify the MAD concept that was instrumental for keeping military balance between USA and USSR in the post-WW II world. Also, very advanced satellite-based C5ISTAR capabilities, and robotics-driven combat will be deployed by next 3 years.
• European countries who are part of EU but not NATO currently, will join NATO. Ukraine becomes NATO-aligned country. NATO outposts installed at Kyiv oblast in Ukraine.
• NATO strengthen existing bases in east Europe from Baltic Sea to Black Sea space. NATO deploys complete ABM systems in Europe.
• USA and NATO further strengthen all military bases in west Asia. USA and EU continue to arm Saudi Arab with all sorts of advanced defense equipments, aircrafts, and ABM system.
• NATO operationalize new bases in north Africa under AFRICOM.
• USA and NATO maintains couple of resourceful military bases there, which can be used to carry out future air-strike on central, south, and east Asian countries.
• Global media owned by USA and EU one percent elites continuously vilify Russia, malign Russian President as a militarist leader, and glorify Nazi-rightist gangs backed by current Ukraine government
We MUST NOTICE there are other possible outcomes also: Most likely outcomes on ‘a’ additionally
• Iran provides strategic support to Russia for stability in the west and central Asian regions including Afghanistan. It can play useful role for stability in south Asia also.
• Russia is able to maintain the Tartus naval base in Syria, which will be key instrument of power projection in west Asia and north Africa.
• Russia builds up strategic defense required to defend its landmass against any aggression. It creates alliances, and bases which can support if Russia is under invasion by USA and NATO.
• Due to Russian readiness, USA and NATO will not invade any Russian territory in near future.
We MUST ALSO NOTICE, Most likely outcomes on ‘b’ additionally
• Iran gets weakened, and can’t act as regional power against USA+NATO+Israel+Saudi Arabia domination. Can’t support Russia for stability in the west and central Asian regions and Afghanistan.
• Russia unable to build up strategic defense. Russia creates half-hearted alliances that lack commitment, and creates bases that lack advanced military systems.
• Due to Russian unpreparedness, USA and NATO will invade Russian territory like Crimea, Kaliningrad, Caucasus, and eastern region of Siberia, may be within a decade. First, they will create separatist groups who will ‘fight for democracy, human rights, independence’ in these regions, thereafter, to defend those groups USA and NATO will invade Russian territory, and dismember it.

PART 4
ISSUE 4: Geo-political instability in Middle-East >>
Russian action option-‘a’: Provide all types of military support to Iran and Syria including installation of air defense system in Iran. Carry out all types of business with Iran, including construction of nuclear power plant
Russian action option-‘b’: DON’T deploy Russian air defense system in Iran, and hinder Iran’s move towards nuclear power. DON’T support Assad government beyond humanitarian assistance
We can note that, Most likely outcomes on ‘a’ = Most likely outcomes on ‘b’:
• Sunni extremist mercenary gangs (cutting across ethnicity and language) armed by USA and NATO, mobilised by Arabian Monarchies, supported by Israel will continue to destabilise and devastate territories in north Africa, west Asia, south Asia regions
• Kurdish zones of Syria and Iraq will continue to act like semi-independent states, which in next 3 years will be one independent state
• Iraq north region will continue to be on separatist path, there will be bloody war between Shia and Sunni
• Israel will continue to murder Palestinian population in occupied territories. They will encroach on Syria and Jordan land with an aim towards creating Greater Israel
• USA and EU continue to arm Saudi Arab with advanced defense equipments, aircrafts, and ABM system
• USA and NATO further strengthen all military bases in west Asia. Operationalize new bases in north Africa under AFRICOM
• USA and NATO removes majority of military forces from Afghanistan, but maintains couple of resourceful military bases there, which can be used to carry out future air-strike on Asian countries
• Global media owned by USA and EU one percent elites continuously vilify Russia for support to Syrian government, malign Russian President as a militarist leader
We HAVE TO NOTICE other possible outcomes also: Most likely outcomes on ‘a’ additionally
• Iran provides strategic support to Russia for stability in the west and central Asian regions including Afghanistan. It can play useful role for stability in south Asia also.
• Russia is able to maintain the Tartus naval base in Syria.
• Iran, south Iraq and Syria act as bulwark against USA+NATO+Israel+Saudi Arabia+Turkey domination of oil and gas industry.
We MUST ALSO NOTICE, Most likely outcomes on ‘b’ additionally
• Iran gets weakened, and can’t act as regional power against USA+NATO+Israel+Saudi Arabia+Turkey domination. Can’t support Russia for stability in the west and central Asian regions including Afghanistan.
• In Syria, Assad government gradually shrinks into south Syria, and Sunni extremist gangs rule over larger part of Syria. Russia will have to vacate the Tartus naval base in Syria within next 3 years.
• Entire oil and gas industry of middle-east will be again 100% controlled by USA by next 3 years.
The above scenario analysis shows clearly that ACTIVE ROLE OF RUSSIA IS BENEFICIAL for Russia and global population who are being thoroughly screwed by the Anglo-Zionist Global Elites.

Goebells is emulating Lazarus apparently, as some are still quoting “If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.” Joseph Goebbels “.
By late 1944 “conditions” in the Greater Reich disproved Dr. Goebbels thesis – as even he acknowledged by early 1945, the increase in number of executions of members of the “national community” being a rough indicator of this.
As Aeschylus was aware hubris leads to bathos leads to nemesis.
“Interestingly, most of us who are seeking the truth are primarily attempting to undo the lies”
I notice that Mr. Koenig stress “most of us” – not all.
Operating in your opponents’ paradigm gives a strategic advantage to the opponents – strategic wisdom lies in patience with delicate ocassional encouragement – a light touch.
Too many notes, you can’t hear the music.
Operating in your opponents’ paradigm increases the perceived importance/relevance of that paradigm thereby assigning too much emphasis to the agency and opportunities of the opponents.
Operating in your opponents’ paradigm is reacting to the whats, whereas smart strategy starts from the whys.
Testing hypotheses based upon the whys may give a different notion of your opponents, including whether or not they have an end game.
There are other factors which I will not outline as this could form operational intelligence for the opponents – fog is very useful even if you are located in it.
Therein lay the pathways to “miracles” as a correspondent in a previous blog attributed to Hezbollah.
As Stalin is attributed as saying, ” The Bolsheviks learnt to talk, but I learned to listen.”
Saker, thank you fir all your excellent work. I have compiled two extremely large threads of video evidence covering the lies of the US and UK media for Saker readers. Please feel free to distribute widely.

We know the UK is only next to the mossad with their motto of by way of deception we do war.. But they have also lost it, maybe eating too many rotten apples..
Really the ukies taking Crimea back???
Without even an air-force? Russia has guns that fire a lot further and so dont even need to confront any invading fores. They can just shell those who are stupid enough to mass for an attack. Does the UK really think the ukies can even be considered better than a fly? If the ukies start a war they could in fact lose the entire country. Its a really bad joke to even talk like this.
–The UK government source said Russian forces are fighting alongside rebels around Luhansk and Donetsk. It’s too early to gauge their impact, though even if propping up the pro-Russian separatists for months longer so that Ukraine’s military doesn’t next turn its attention to taking back Crimea could be considered a victory.
“At the very least, the Russian deployments are creating the conditions for a frozen conflict going into winter and .. ensure that Kiev is sufficiently distracted … to prevent it from refocusing its attention on Crimea,” the source said.
Saker, this is my complete comprehensive video diary of the entire Ukrainian crisis going back to the Hotel Ukraine snipers. It covers all major events, atrocities and coverups. I put it together as a chronological reference of the rise of nazis in Ukraine. I hope your readers can use it to bring more truth to light.

CDN says:
There are two levers the USSA is working in the present Ukraine conflict. The first is as Peter points out the actions which seek to make Ukraine a USSA vassal state and thereby weaken the RF.
But there is a second axis of attack and this has to do with undermining the Euro region in its entirety.
1) Most of the sanctions imposed by USSA will have the greatest negative effect on the trade balances and economies of the Euro region. The USSA achieves two parallel aims: constricting the economic freedom of the RF and undermining the economic strength of the euro states.
The actions against the RF will result in the RF seeking to replace western controlled mechanisms such as SWIFT with new institutions managed by Russia and China with the likely future participation of those countries which seek to orient themselves toward the prospective economic growth of these two states. This would include a large number of ASEAN members, Turkey, and possibly Greece.
The same sanctions against the RF also serve to damage and hold captive the euro economies and make them ripe for USSA economic predation. Spain remains a basket case, Italy is falling into recession, and France is not far behind. The Full Spectrum Dominance sought by the USSA will do little long run harm to the RF but will create significant economic problems for the Euro-zone. If the USSA dollar remains strong, the the Euro continues to weaken, then we can expect to see increased predation on the part of American interests who will be able to acquire Euro assets on the cheap.
It is also significant that both USSA and the UK are calling for all NATO members to dedicate 2% of their budgets to defense. This would primarily benefit the USSA and UK as they are the chief arms exporters within NATO.
The best thing for Europe would be to disband NATO, remove USSA influence from Europe (including removal of the UK, a USSA satrapy), and permit Europe to participate in the economic growth associated with Asia’s rise out of poverty. This is exactly the outcome the USSA seeks to undermine and prevent.
“The Big Picture is important. The people need to see it, the End Game – what is expecting them, if they – we, the 99.99% – are not taking actions to prevent Full Spectrum Dominance from succeeding. “
Mr Koenig posits that pre-determination is a pre-requisite.
Pre-determination posits omniscience which is impossible in any complex interactive system.
Although perhaps unconciously Mr. Koenig is operating in the opponents’ paradigm.
Fortunately Mr Koenig is said to be an economist not a strategist.

Just one minor corrective. There is really no such thing as the “EU,” or at any rate, it is not a country, the the type of entity that counts. For “EU,” read Germany.
The real deal is the Euro Zone, a smaller collection of countries within the EU that use a common currency. It amounts to being Germany’s unfettered export zone. It is not a long-term viable proposition under capitalism, and will not last much longer. I think Merkel is caught between two fires relative to the U.S. – needs to fit in with its policies to keep the Euro Zone going, but must not get caught up in the Ukraine madness.

The Big Picture is everything. Russia is the target (then China) whilst Ukraine is the sacrificial pawn. One of the objectives of the Syrian crisis is to deprive Russia of its warm water port in the Mediterranean, further reducing its influence.
One aspect the author does not touch on is the large number of biological research stations the US is creating or sponsoring around the world, particularly close to the borders of Russia. There are 11 in Ukraine alone. The exact motives are unknown, but given the US involvement, one can reasonably conclude that this is not for the benefit of the local population (c.f. the CIA’s misuse of a vaccination program in Pakistan). Such benefits would be purely incidental.
One hypothesis is that it allows the US to conduct bioweapons research whilst maintaining plausible deniability that it has broken the Biological Weapons Convention.
Another hypothesis is that these stations are located outside the US to exploit poorer safety monitoring. A BL3 (pathogens fatal to humans, but treatable e.g. plague, tuberculosis, rabies) laboratory has been built in Odessa. If BL4 pathogens (fatal to humans with no existing treatment e.g. hemorrhagic fevers, Marburg virus, Ebola virus) were investigated in this BL3 laboratory, it would greatly increase the chance of their escape into the outside world.
One disease of concern is Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic virus, which was first observed in Crimea in 1944 and in the Congo twelve years later. It is currently present in Georgia, killing 3 out of 15 infected cases. Cases have also been reported in Turkey, and it is endemic in Kosovo with a fatality rate of ~25%. In Ukraine, it is found throughout the country in high humidity areas within the forest and forest-steppe zones.
It is interesting to compare the two sides treat their PoWs.
The Novorossians allowed Ukrainian troops to flee into Russia where they received medical treatment if necessary. The Russians then allowed them to stay or leave as they wished. The current prisoners in Lugansk sweep up the debris in the streets resulting from their earlier bombardment. In a prisoner exchange, the Novorossians swapped healthy Ukrainian prisoners for Novorossians who were basically mangled corpses.
A recent video, made by VICE with Simon Ostrovsky (hardly a pro-Novorossian combination) filmed the Independence Day parade in Kiev. Afterwards, Ostrovsky interviews a returned member of the Aidar battalion. The man admits prisoners were tortured. He describes one case where pliers were used to pull a man’s nipples. When the prisoner didn’t talk, pins were forced under his fingernails. The prisoner was then blindfolded and had water poured over him The torturers claiming it was gas and he would be burned alive. Afterwards, he was passed on to SBU counterintelligence, his fate is now unknown. This was not an isolated instance, just one case of many.
Though I am concerned about the plight of Russians in East Ukraine, I am now concerned about Presidential Election In Brazil. In this hour Russia and Russian People need friends all over the world and it expected from the people of BRICS nation. I hope and sincerely pray that Dilma Rosseff wins rather that George Soros financed and NED sponsored Ms. Silva. Can Brazilian citizens see through the fog of deceit? Let’s hope so.
BRICS? Forget the BRICs!
With the help of massive fraud in the upcoming elections in Brazil in October, the plan outlined in the post below has everything to be a success!

On 18 September Obama will meet at the White House with Poroshenko, to be sure he stays in line and doesn’t sway Putin’s way, because corrupt oligarchs tend to be not very reliable. Obama may promise him premature entry to NATO and all the fake fiat dollars that come with it.
Comment: At the current pace, 18 September is an eternity. I am hopeful the NAF will have secured the lands to Crimea if not to Odessa. To offer the Nazi-Ukies entry to NATO is an acceptance of Crimea being the territory of the Russian Federation. Also, it is a suspension of NATO rules for membership; not that laws, treaties, signatures are respected by USNATO members.
I anticipate Mariupol will be liberated in the next few days. In fact, I read elsewhere the big boys in “The City, UK” expects “when Mariupol falls or even is simply cut off with its Ukrainian garrison – – – [this] will present a serious humiliation for Kiev, Brussels, Washington and London. With Novorossiya gaining a port the Ukrainians without a navy and Russia home waters nearby, think of the possibilities for the re-supply of personnel and cargoes.”
NATO can not save the Kiev coup government. Yapping like a scared puppy is all they got.

Fierce fighting. Mass retreat
DONETSK, August 30 (Itar-Tass)
Ukrainian troops were retreating from Donetsk toward Zaporozhye, witnesses told Itar-Tass on Saturday.
Troops took heavy weapons with them in the mass retreat, Donetsk residents said.
Local Novorossia news agency reported militiamen destroyed about 20 tanks and armoured vehicles in the latest fighting.
Militia forces have approached the strategically important city of Mariupol.
An assault was not launched, but groups from forces of the self-proclaimed Donetsk Republic already “worked” in the suburbs. The city was encircled, witnesses said.
Central Donetsk is left without water and
a pipeline system is damaged. Several buildings on fire after incendiary shelling.

August 29,2014
The army of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic shot down four Ukrainian Su-25 assault planes on Friday, the army headquarters said.
Two Ukrainian assault planes were about to bomb the Donetsk army positions when the militias shot them down:

“It doesn’t matter whether what Poroshenko said and is repeated the world over was based on a translation error (according to the German Tagesschau, the German mainstream TV news) – “
What is the translation error. This is not clear to me.
https://deepresource.wordpress.com/2014/08/30/kiev-forces-withdrawing-from-donetsk-to-zaporozhye/
itar-tass claims that there is a mass retreat going on by Uki forces from Donetsk towards Zaporozhye. As we already know, Mariupol is completely surrounded by NAF forces now. If Mariupol falls, NAF can concentrate on occupying all the territory between Kherson and Zaporozhye, up until the (very wide) Dnjepr river. Things are going very well these days. Now the waiting is for Kharkov to ‘come out of the closet’.

Slightly off topic: Would anyone have a link to a site saying the purported U.S. photos of Russian armor in Novo-Russia really had earlier date-stamps, like July or even earlier ? I remember reading it recently, here, Kremlin Stooge, No War in Europe, Land Descroyer, Colonel Cassad, M-o-A, but can’t find it. The reporters for our local rag include their e-mail address after an article, so I like to send them this info. While they’re not likely to deviate far from the USG/editorial party line, they might take it into consideration in future reporting. I’ve some success in the past doing that, some (including the execrable David Ignatius), have acknowledged my e-mails, whether it influenced them or not. At least it might give them an uneasy conscience.

That’s an excellent site. Thank you for sharing
Putin recently said that Crimea is an opportunity for the reconciliation of the White and the Red ideologies. And that is what Novorossia is all about in my opinion. Embracing the communitarian spirit of the Red ideology will bring adherents of Soviet Ukraine into partnership with the NAF. The same philosophy is already drawing international volunteers from across Europe and elsewhere. The burning white spark was reignited in Crimea – revolution from the top down, per Strelkov. The red flame has been reignited in Donbass. The international left, moribund in the post-Vietnam era, has been reawakened. The liberation of Europe has begun – again – and the liberation of the United States is within sight.

Anonymous Indian I been saying for many years that Russians need to understand the west is not going to ever consider them as equals. But Russians need to come to that understanding since they need to make a commitment who their friends are. Not just material needs and nice cars matter.. Until Russians realize that and come to accept that they are the target and that there are friends out there and they need to commit they will lose.
This might take decades but we can see it started decades ago and Nato is now at the door and also the feet in Afghanistan. I can see that China is scary and Russians are afraid because given a chance China will take over anything Russia builds but Russia has other allies it can call on. So they have to help Syria, Iran, India at the very least. Brazil is a so-so now.. They can pivot to the US any time. But the other 3 countries wont but you have to make a determined effort to do so. China also knows this so they wont be too eager to see that happen because then their chances diminish. In the long run china only cares about trade with everyone so don’t matter to them is Russia ends up like Yugoslavia and they can still get the oil and gas. So Russia has to fight not only US incursion but also Chinese resistance. Time to drop UN fig leafs used as excuses to put sanctions on others.
Now we know that Putin has invested the blood of young Russian conscripts as volunteers in Novorossiya. This has two new values. One positive. One negative.
The positive is Russia is in for a big result. Not a ceasefire and negotiations. Not federalization. Not a truce and later suffering more efforts to destabilize Russia.
Putin has invested Russian blood to acquire the end of the junta and forever prevent Ukraine to go West, to be a NATO launch pad.
The negative is the funerals and bitterness that will be exploited inside Russia. Wives and mothers of dead Russian conscripts will be used against Putin by the fifth columnists and MSM. The AP is already writing articles on the ‘Afghanistan effect’ of what is the secret use of conscripts.
So, the calculus has changed. But the strategic goals are solidified.
I believe Putin is in this until he has control of the governance of Ukraine by whatever means. Ukraine will be in the Eurasian sphere and neutralized as a threat. All that ail be left in the very far west of Ukraine is an enclave of bitter Banderistas, to become a Polish colony, a Euro dependency.
Logic dictates that the zone above Crimea must be cleared of threats, and the port of Odessa must be kept from the US and NATO as a naval destination.
So, the entire South of Ukraine from Transnistria to the East must be won. This is for what the Russian blood is being invested. It is part of the defense of Crimea and the ultimate collection of all Russia requires along the Black Sea and Azov.
How far north and when the battle moves is too complicated to know right now. But we know sabotage and resistance has formed. I suspect this will unfold the way the south front opened to Mariupol. SouthFront all along was the name of one the militia’s information media groups. Prophetic? No. Logical. (Strategic in military terms).
Kiev will fall to Putin. There are many tools he has to make that happen. But it is requisite to the security of Russia. There can be no doubt about that.
First, the security of the nation.
Second, the long term stability of neighbors.
Third, destabilization of NATO.
Fourth, normal disintegration of EU brought down by their own stupidity and the rise of Eurasia.
Putin put the red chips of blood, Russian blood, on the table. He’s in for the win.
Dear Saker: May I please ask you (as Nick has also done) to use your influence to get Russian media improved. The voice of truth must be raised with a certain minimum of competence. RT is simply a disgrace! Ria Novosti and Itar Tass are dull, D u l l !
RT in particular allows itself to be used as mouthpiece of western propaganda and smear campaign. Here is today’s headline: “NATO to raise 10,000 rapid deployment force to counter Russian…” Notice the word “Counter”. So RT repeats the western party line that Russian threat needs to be countered. Gross incompetence, or worse, sly reason. Then again, if you read some of the reader comments: doesn’t RT have any editorial policy whatsoever? Why do they allow four-letter words of abuses to be hurled at Putin and Russians in general? By all means allow debate and dissent, but abuse and hate comments are not a valid form of free speech. If Russia is to project its image and strive for some truth in international discourse, it needs to completely revamp its media.
This matter is IMPORTANT, please give it just a little time.
Thanks!
Anon Indian,
In case you haven’t noticed, Russian society is in a bit of a panic over the US putsch and installation of a Nazi regime. You don’t have to worry about passivity being the problem now. The issue is how to proceed. The Kremlin seems to have taken the judo approach in the Ukraine, so that now Kiev is at risk of total collapse, and that is before Winter. NATO doesn’t have the supply lines for action in the Ukraine, so that is less troubling than the issue of trying to build a new Berlin Wall in Poland.
Russia is trying to gradually build a world that isn’t dominated by the Anglo-Americans. The problem is that places like India or Indonesia don’t push this very much.
The old BBC map of Ukraine showed exactly who was attacking who and which civilians were being killed. Anyone thinking about it could see what the Ukraine that the west was backing was attempting.
Now if the West give any direct help to Ukraine in the current situation it will again only highlight what is going on.
Frankly best for Merkel or Cameron or Obama is to direct all attention to ISIS (which kind of can be justified as a target) and hope everyone ignores Ukraine as it collapses.

“The NATO document headline is “New Satellite Imagery Exposes Russian Combat Troops Inside Ukraine”
i) the dates of the five images are 21 Aug, 23 Aug, 20 Aug, 23 Jul (x2) – hardly new imagery.
ii) image 3 is 50 km inside Russia, image 4 is 6.5 km inside Russia and image 5 is a wider shot of image 4 showing the border.
Two out of the five images are over a month old and three out of five show sites well inside Russia, so there is a nice bait and switch going on.

Dear Saker: While I disagree with the post of Anonymous 08:45 that “Nora” was flaming about , I think her comment (30 August, 2014 17:11): “Run along now, you’ve earned your keep, go collect it … “ goes beyond the bounds of propriety. If we were identified by actual names, accusing somebody of being a paid shill without proof would be slanderous, or since this is in print, libelous.
A good rule of thumb for your moderators would be to automatically delete any accusation for one poster by another, unless some fairly convincing proof were presented.
@Paul II, @Alien Tech,
The Russian society is in a ‘bit of a panic’ after realising that ‘the west is not going to ever consider them as equals’, is your correct assessment. (to me, that is perplexing, since history shows ‘west christianity’ showed animosity towards orthodox east Slavic society, including fighting crusades against them).
Choosing friend is not very difficult for Russia in this century – countries where ruling elites are not controlled by the 1% Anglo-Zionist plutocracy should become Russia’s friend. However, whether the friend is a “trusted partner in security-defense-economy etc.” needs to be understood very thoroughly…. And, it applies to everyone whether BRICS or EEC.
I personally feel, it is extremely important for Russia to find out at least 3 / 4 “trusted partners” within this decade. If China, India, Iran, Brazil can fill that zone, it is better… however, every country has its own complexities.
